A new investment project currently under consideration has a negative net present value of $85,000. The project has a life of 10 years and the minimum required rate of return is 8%. The present value factor for an annuity at 8% for 10 periods is 6.71. What is the amount of annual additional cash flow that is required to make this investment attractive
Answer:
$12,668
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of annual additional cash flow that is required to make this investment attractive
Using this formula
Annual additional cash flow required=Negative net present value /Present value factor for an annuity at 8% for 10 periods
Let plug in the formula
Annual additional cash flow required= $85,000/6.71
Annual additional cash flow required= $12,668
Therefore the amount of annual additional cash flow that is required to make this investment attractive is $12,668
Jane Industries manufactures plastic toys. During October, Jane's Fabrication Department started work on 10,400 models. During the month, the company completed 11,200 models, and transferred them to the Distribution Department. The company ended the month with 2200 models in ending inventory. There were 3000 models in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is being followed. Beginning work in process was 30% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 55% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning inventory​:
Direct materials costs $20,000
Conversion costs $11,100
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period​:
Direct materials costs $70,700
Conversion costs $240,500
What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of October?
a. $19,783
b. $20,337
c. $10,923
d. $14,916
Answer:
d. $14,916
Explanation:
Note that Jane Industries uses FIFO method of process costing.
Step 1 : Equivalent Units in respect of materials
Materials = 3,000 x 0 % + 8,200 x 100% + 2,200 x 100%
= 10,400 units
Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent unit in respect of materials
Cost per Equivalent = $70,700 ÷ 10,400 units
= $6.80
Step 3 : direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process
Ending work-in-process (Materials Cost) = 2,200 x $6.80
= $14,960

Computing Number of Shares
The charter of Vista West Corporation specifies that it is authorized to issue 212,000 shares of common stock. Since the company was incorporated, it has sold a total of 145,000 shares (at $16 per share) to the public. It has bought back a total of 15,000. The par value of the stock is $6. When the stock was bought back from the public, the market price was $23.
Required:
1. Determine the authorized shares.
2. Determine the issued shares.
3. Determine the outstanding shares.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Determine the authorized shares.
The authorized share simply refers to the maximum number of shares that can be issued by a particular company. In this case, the authorised share is 212000.
2. Determine the issued shares.
The issued share simply means the shares sold. In this case, the answer is 145000 shares.
3. Determine the outstanding shares.
The outstanding shares will be:
= 145000 - 15000
= 130000

Explanation:
LIFO method assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first. Also note that the perpetual Inventory method is used. This means the cost of sales and inventory value is calculated after every transaction.
So with LIFO , Cost of Sales will be calculated on recent prices (later prices) whilst Inventory will be valued at earlier prices (old prices).

On January 1, Alan King decided to deposit $58,800 in a savings account that will provide funds four years later to send his son to college. The savings account will earn 8% annually. Any interest earned will be added to the fund at year-end (rather than withdrawn). (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required:
Answer:
FV= $79,996.75
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $58,800
Interest rate (i)= 8% compounded annually
Number of periods (n)= 4 years
To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 58,800*(1.08^4)
FV= $79,996.75
John received a promotion at work and felt new clothes would be necessary in the new position. John went to a local store and charged three ties on his charge account at a cost of $60 each. Bill, a friend of John's, saw a sidewalk vendor selling ties at a cost of three for $10 and bought three at that price. The friends compared purchases that night and found that they had purchased identical ties. John became enraged and said that he would not pay the charge-account bill because the ties were clearly not worth $60 each. Bill indicated that he would testify on John's behalf if litigation ensued. What would be the probable outcome of the lawsuit
Answer:
John will lose the lawsuit
Explanation:
Businesses have a right to set the price of their products, and when the customers considers the price and agrees with it the deal is sealed.
In the given scenario John made the purchase at $60 per tie and he was satisfied with the sale at point of purchase.
He only became enraged when Bill told him he bought his identical ties at $10.
John will lose a lawsuit of he fails to pay the charge-account bill because he willingly agreed to the $60 per tie price.

Suppose a firm produces with a technology that exhibits constant returns to scale at all levels of production. The firm's inputs are workers and laptops. The firm sells its output in a perfectly competitive market. It also hires its inputs (hires workers and rents laptops) in perfectly competitive markets. Assume that in the long run the firm produces y units of output using x1 workers and x2 laptops. If the firm doubles the amount of workers and laptops (using 2x1 and 2x2), we would expect the firm's long-run profits to
Answer:
Not change
Explanation:
In the long run we expect firms to earn zero profits. With competitive markets for both inputs and output, and with constant returns to scale, a doubling of all inputs would lead to twice as much output, twice as much revenue, and twice as much cost.
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 35 years. To do this, you will invest $710 per month in a stock account and $310 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9.1 percent, and the bond account will earn 5.1 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an annual return of 6.1 percent. Assume the returns are expressed as APRs.
How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 30-year withdrawal period?
Answer:
monthly payment = $16,162.87
Explanation:
future value of stock account = $710 x= [(1 + 0.00758333)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00758333 = $2,142,045
future value of bond account = $310 x= [(1 + 0.00425)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00425 = $360,116
future value = $2,502,161
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.0050833)³⁶⁰ ] / 0.0050833 = 165.019
monthly payment = $2,502,161 / 165.019 = $16,162.87

Super Saver Groceries purchased store equipment for $43,000. Super Saver estimates that at the end of its 10-year service life, the equipment will be worth $4,000. During the 10-year period, the company expects to use the equipment for a total of 13,000 hours. Super Saver used the equipment for 1,200 hours the first year. Required: Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
$3900
$8600
$3600
Explanation:
This is the remaining part of the question :
Required: Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods
1. Straight-line.
2.Double Declining Method
3.Activity Based
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(43,000 - 4000) / 10 = $3900
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/10 = 0.2
Depreciation expense = 0.2 x $43,000 = $8600
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1200 / 13,000) x (43,000 - 4000) = $3600
On average, your firm receives 65 checks a day from customers. These checks, on average, are worth $39.90 each and clear the bank in 1.5 days. In addition, your firm disburses 38 checks a day with an average amount of $89.50. These checks clear your bank in 2 days. What is the average amount of the collection float? $2,473.80 $3,401.00 $3,890.25 $5,101.50 $6,802.00
Answer:
$3,890.25
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the average amount of the collection float
Using this formula
Collection float =Average Checks received ×Average checks worth×Bank checks clearing numbers of days
Let plug in the formula
Collection float =65 x $39.90 x 1.5 days
Collection float = $3,890.25
Therefore the average amount of the collection float will be $3,890.25
Otto and Monica are married taxpayers who file a joint tax return. For the current tax year, they have AGI of $99,600. They have excess depreciation on real estate of $59,760, which must be added back to AGI to arrive at AMTI. The amount of their mortgage interest expense for the year was $19,920, and they made charitable contributions of $9,960. They have no other itemized deductions. If Otto and Monica's taxable income for the current year is $69,720, determine the amount of their AMTI.

Castle Corporation conducts business in States 1, 2, and 3. Castle’s $630,000 taxable income consists of $555,000 apportionable income and $75,000 allocable income generated from transactions conducted in State 3. Castle’s sales, property, and payroll are evenly divided among the three states, and the states all employ a three-equal-factors apportionment formula.
Determine how much of Castle’s income is taxable in each of the following states.
a. State 1: $ _________
b. State 2: $ _________
c. State 3: $ _________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the taxable income in each states is shown below:
a. For state 1
= Apportionable income ÷ number of states
= $555,000 ÷ 3
= $185,000
b. For state 2
= Apportionable income ÷ number of states
= $555,000 ÷ 3
= $185,000
c. For state 3

= $260,000
Times-Roman Publishing Company reports the following amounts in its first three years of operation: ($ in thousands) 2021 2022 2023 Subscription revenue recognized (earned) $ 350 $ 360 $ 320 Subscription payments received in cash 390 340 360 The difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income is due to subscription revenue for one-year magazine subscriptions being reported for tax purposes in the year received, but reported in the income statement in later years when the performance obligation is satisfied. The income tax rate is 25% each year. Times-Roman anticipates profitable operations in the future. Required: 1. What is the balance sheet account that gives rise to a temporary difference in this situation
Answer: Unearned subscription revenue.
Explanation:
Tax is made on a cash basis which means that a transaction is eligible for taxation once cash has been paid for it. Businesses however have to use the Accrual basis which only record transactions in the period that they have been incurred.
In this scenario, there is more subscription payment in cash than the company recognized which means that the company has not yet delivered the service they were paid for and so could not recognize the subscriptions. They will however be taxed on those amounts because the cash has come in.
The account giving this temporary difference is therefore the Unearned Subscription Revenue account.
NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $0.37 a share. The following dividends will be $0.42, $0.57, and $0.87 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 2.8 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 9 percent?
Answer:
P0 = $11.968577 rounded off to $11.97
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
P0 = 0.37 / (1+0.09) + 0.42 / (1+0.09)^2 + 0.57 / (1+0.09)^3 +
0.87 / (1+0.09)^4 + [(0.87 * (1+0.028) / (0.09 - 0.028)) / (1+0.09)^4]
P0 = $11.968577 rounded off to $11.97

A large brand runs several companies, including a chain of hotels, an automobile business, and a software development firm. Which data warehouse would help the organization view consolidated results of all the businesses?
A.
distributed
B.
LAN based
C.
virtual
D.
multistage
E.
stationary
Answer:
A.
distributed
Explanation:
In the case of the large brand running several companies, the best data warehouse suitable for them would be distributed type. This is because, it would allow them to house their data separately in the different arms of the business like hotels, automobiles business and software development businesses before the information is linked together and distributed evenly.
The distributed data warehouse allows them to share information among the various arms of the businesses due to the linkage between them.
If a company has goodwill on its books, the goodwill:
Goodwill is an intangible asset (an asset that's non-physical but offers long-term value) that arises when another company acquires a new business. Goodwill refers to the purchase cost, minus the fair market value of the tangible assets, the liabilities, and the intangible assets that you're able to identify.
How does goodwill affect a company?Goodwill has a major impact on value because it reduces the risk that a business' profitability will falter after it changes hands. That goodwill value is simply calculated as the difference between the purchase price of the business and the fair market value of the tangible assets included in the sale.

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 15,000 games last year at a selling price of $20 per game. Fixed costs associated with the game total $182,000 per year, and variable costs are $6 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable costs consist mostly of payments to this contractor.
Required:
1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.
1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.
2. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption:
a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?
b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.
The contribution format income statement for the game last year can be prepared as follows:
Magic Realm, Inc.
Contribution Income Statement
For Last Year
Details Total ($) Per Unit ($)
Sales 300,000 20
Variable cost (90,000) (6)
Contribution margin 210,000 14
Fixed expense (182,000)
Net operating income 28,000
1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.
Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income = $210,000 / $28,000 = 7.50
2-a. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?
Since:
Degree of Operating Leverage = Percentage change in Operating Income / Percentage change in Sales
Substituting the relevant values, we have:
7.50 = Percentage change in Operating Income / 20%
Percentage change in Operating Income = 7.5 * 20% = 150%
Therefore, the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.
2-b. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Change in Net Operating Income = 150% * $28,000 = $42,000
Expected amount of Net Operating Income = Current Net Operating Income + Change in Net Operating Income = $28,000 + $42,000 = $70,000
