Lynch Company began operations in 2019. The company reported $24,000 of depreciation expense on its income statement in 2019 and $26,000 in 2020. On its tax returns, Lynch deducted $32,000 for depreciation in 2019 and $37,000 in 2020. The 2020 tax return shows a tax obligation (liability) of $12,000 based on a 25% tax rate.

Determine the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020.

Answers

Answer:

2019 $8,000

2020 $19,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020.

Calculation for 2019 Temporary differences

2019

Using this formula

2019 Temporary differences = 2019 Depreciation- 2019 depreciation expense

Let plug in the formula

2019 Temporary differences =$32,000 - $24,000

2019 Temporary differences= $8,000

Calculation for 2020 Temporary differences

Using this formula

2020 Temporary differences=(2019 Depreciation+2020 Depreciation)-( 2019 Depreciation expense+2020 Depreciation expense)

Let plug in the formula

2020 Temporary differences= ($32,000 + $37,000) - ($24,000 + $26,000)

2020 Temporary differences=$69,000-$50,000

2020 Temporary differences= $19,000

Therefore the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020 will be $8,000 and $19,000

On January 1, 2020, Oregon Company issued eight-year bonds with a face value of $6,000,000 and a stated interest rate of 6%, payable semiannually onJune 30 and December 31. Determine the issue price of the bonds, assuming the bonds were sold to yield 8% (require use of present value tables):

Answers

Answer:

the issue price of the bond is $5,301,360

Explanation:

The computation of the issue price of the bond is shown below/;

= (semiannual interest payment × present value annuity (16,4%)) + (face value × present value factor (4%,16))

= (($6,000,000 × 6% ÷ 2) × 11.652) + ($6,000,000 × .534)

= $2,097,360 + $3,204,000

= $5,301,360

Hence, the issue price of the bond is $5,301,360

If the selling price is $8.55 per unit, what is the NSI break-even on a cash basis? d. If depreciation is $94,500 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?"

Answers

Answer:

Night Shades Inc. (NSI)

a. The variable cost per unit is:

= $3.02.

b. The total costs for the year is:

= $990,780.

c. The NSI break-even on a cash basis is:

= $503,091.

d. The accounting break-even point is:

= $647,150.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable costs per unit:

Materials = $1.12

Labor =        1.90

Total =      $3.02

Total production units = 189,000

Total variable costs = $570,780

Fixed costs =              $420,000

Total costs =               $990,780

Per unit:

Selling price = $8.55

Variable costs   3.02

Contribution   $5.53

Contribution margin in percentage = $5.53/$8.55 * 100 = 64.7%

Fixed costs on cash basis = FC - Depreciation = $325,500 ($420,000 - $94,500)

Break-even point on a cash basis = $325,5000/0.647 = $503,091

Break-even point in sales dollars = $420,000/0.647 = $647,150

Suppose the Alaskan king crab harvest is unregulated and any person with a crab boat and some diesel fuel can go offshore, lower a crab pot, and harvest king crab. As a result, this common resource is overused. Which policy choice might produce the socially optimal king crab harvest

Answers

Answer: A. Alaska auctions a limited number of licenses to harvest king crab.

Explanation:

The options include:

A. Alaska auctions a limited number of licenses to harvest king crab.

B. The U.S. and Canadian governments remove trade barriers, which allows for more trade of products like king crab.

C. Alaska removes taxes on diesel fuel, which lowers the price of diesel.

D. Alaska subsidizes the purchase of crab boats.

The socially optimal level of output will be achieved when there's allocative efficiency. It is the level whereby market failure is curtailed.

The policy choice that might produce the socially optimal king crab harvest is for Alaska to auction a limited number of licenses to harvest king crab.

This will help in the reduction at which the resource is overused as there'll be regulation and reduction in the number of person that can harvest king crab.

"You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.05 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio?"

Answers

Answer: 1.95

Explanation:

The beta for the other stock in the portfolio will be calculated thus:

Portfolio Beta = (BetaA × WeightA) + (BetaB × WeightB) + (BetaC × WeightC)

= (BetaA × 1/3) + (1.05 × 1/3) + (0 × 1/3)

= (BetaA × 1/3) + 0.35 + 0

Beta A = 1-0.35 × 3

Beta A = 0.65 × 3

Beta A = 1.95

Assume a portfolio is worth $70,000, consisting of X, Y, and cash. Also assume you invested $35,000 in X, $14,000 in Y and the rest in cash, and that X and Y have betas of 1.45 and 0.80 respectively. Calculate the portfolio beta. (Provide numerical answer to 3 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

0.885

Explanation:

Beta measures systemic risk. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock

Percentage of x = $35,000 / 70,000 = 0.5 = 50%

Percentage of y = $14,000 / 70,000 = 0.2 = 20%

Percentage of cash = 100 - (50 + 20) = 30%

Cash usually have a beta of zero

portfolio beta = (0.5 x 1.45) + (0.2 x 0.8) + (0.3 x 0) =

0.725 + 0.16 + 0 = 0.885

0.725

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 100,800 chefs/head cooks employed in the United States in 2010 and 320,900 food service managers. Those numbers were projected to decrease to 98,800 and 311,000 by 2020. Which job was facing the larger percent decrease

Answers

Answer:

Foodservice managers

Explanation:

Considering the data available in the question we have the following:

In 2010 => Chefs / head cooks - 100,800 personnel

In 2010 => Foodservice managers = 320,900 personnel

In 2020 => Chefs/head cooks = 98,800

In 2020 => Foodservice managers = 311,000

The difference in chefs/head cooks = 100,800 - 98,000 = 2,000

While that of Food service managers = 320,900 - 311,000 = 9,900

Hence, percentage for chefs / head cooks = 2000/108900 = 1.98% decrease

Percentage of fold service managers = 9900/320900 = 3.09% decrease.

Hence, in this case, Foodservice managers facing a larger percentage decrease.

Rover Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2017 for $109,200. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4,200 and a useful life of 120,000 miles. It was driven 21,000 miles in 2017 and 29,000 miles in 2018. What is the depreciation expense for 2018

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $25,375

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $109,200

Salvage value= $4,200

Useful life in miles= 120,000

To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the units-of-activity method:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles operated

2018:

Annual depreciation= [(109,200 - 4,200) / 120,000]*29,000

Annual depreciation= 0.875*29,000

Annual depreciation= $25,375

Crane and Miller Manufacturing is trying to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs with 10900 units of ending work in process at 80% completion and 31600 physical units. There are no beginning units in the department. Conversion costs occur evenly throughout the entire production period. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period?

Answers

Answer:

the equivalent units for the conversion cost is 29,420 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units for the conversion cost is shown below:

= units completed + ending inventory units

= (31,600 units - 10,900 units) + 80% of 10,900 units

= 20,700 units + 8,720 units

= 29,420 units

hence, the equivalent units for the conversion cost is 29,420 units

Answers

Answer: decreases the multiplier effect, so that an increase in taxes reduces income by more.

Explanation:

The multiplier effect is the increase aggregate production in the economy due to an increase in spending by the government. A crowding out effect refers to when the spending by the government is at the expense of the private sector such that the private sector is unable to invest and grow.

The multiplier effect will therefore decrease as private investment slows. This leads to lower incomes for people as the economy is not expanding. If the government were to tax people at that point, it would take more of their income than less.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 years to maturity, whereas Bond Ted has 25 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill? Of Bond Ted? Both bonds have a par value of $1000. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then? Of Bond Ted? Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?

Answers

Answer:

a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%

a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%

c. See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Explanation:

The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $919.29

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%

a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $788.81

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%

b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?

YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%

b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?

rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%

c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.

Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?

It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Dev is a strategist for the firm Stark Industries, which produces high-quality HD movie cameras. This company needs a specific material for a new camera they are developing, which is manufactured in large quantities by a competitor called LENS Inc. However, this material is difficult to trade. Because of this, which of the following is most likely the best strategy for Dev to suggest?
A. Stark industries should acquire LENS
B. Stark industries should enter into co-opetition with LENS
C. Stark industries should form a long term agreement with LENS
D. Stark industries should form a short term agreement with LENS

Answers

Answer: A. Stark industries should acquire LENS

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the best strategy that Dev should suggest is that Stark industries should acquire LENS.

Since Stark Industries require the material from LENS and it's difficult to trade, the best option is to acquire it. The acquisition will make the production of the high-quality HD movie cameras easier.

It should be noted that entering into a competition with LENS is not advisable as that'll lead to the material not gotten. Also, a short or long term agreement isn't advisable as well.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $399,000, 9%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $394,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The journal entry to record the first interest payment is:

Answers

Answer:

Cash Interest payable on Bond = $399,000*4.5% = $17,955

Discount to be amortized = ($399,000-$394,000)/20 = $250

Interest expense = $17,955+$250 = $18,205

Fixed costs are $1500000 and the variable costs are 75% of the unit selling price. What is the break-even point in dollars?

Answers

Answer:

$6,000,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the break-even point in dollars

Using this formula

Break-even point (Dollars)=Fixed costs/(1-Variable costs percentage of unit selling price)

Let plug in the formula

Break-even point (Dollars)=$1,500,000/ (1-.75)

Break-even point (Dollars)=$1,500,000/.25

Break-even point (Dollars)=$6,000,000

Therefore the break-even point in dollars is $6,000,000

Bonaime, Inc., has 7.7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $62.70, and the book value per share is $5.70. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $71.7 million, a coupon rate of 7.2 percent, and sells for 89.5 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $36.7 million, a coupon rate of 8.2 percent, and sells for 88.5 percent of par. The first issue matures in 22 years, the second in 14 years. The most recent dividend was $3.70 and the dividend growth rate is 8 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 30 percent.

Answers

Answer:

Bonaime, Inc.

1. The company's cost of equity = 5.90%

2. The company's after-tax cost of debt = 5.92%

3. The company's equity weight = 83.32%

4. The company's debt weight = 16.68%

5. The company's WACC = 5.9035%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Common stock outstanding = 7.7 million shares

Current share price = $62.70

Book value per share = $5.70

Most recent dividend per share = $3.70

1. Cost of equity = Dividend/Current share price = $3.70/$62.70 = 5.90%

Value:

Book value = 7.7 million * $5.70 = $43,890,000

Market value = 7.7 million * $62,70 = $482,790,000

Bonds outstanding:           First Bonds      Second Bonds   Total

Face value =                     $71,700,000     $36,700,000    $108,400,000

Coupon rate                           7.2%               8.2%

Annual coupon payment  $5,162,400       $3,009,400          $8,171,800

Market value per bond         89.5%              88.5%

Market value of bonds    $64,171,500     $32,479,500       $96,651,000

Before tax cost of debt = $8,171,800/$96,651,000 = 0.08455

2. After tax cost of debt = 5.92% (0.08455 * (1 - 0.30))

3. The company's equity weight = Equity Market Value/Total Firm's Value

= $482,790,000/$579,441,000

= 83.32%

4. The company's debt weight = 1 - 0.8332

= 16.68%

5. The company's WACC = Cost of equity * Weight + Cost of Debt * Weight

= (5.90% * 83.32%) + (5.92% * 16.68%)

= (0.0590 * 0.8332) + (0.0592 * 0.1668)

= 0.04916  + 0.009875

= 0.059035

= 5.9035%

b) The costs of equity and debts are based on their market values instead of the book value.  The market values are always more relevant in capital decision-making than the book values.

But did you know they are under threat of extinction? That means no more sea otters in the wild and fewer in captivity. Sea otters have been on the Endangered Species List for over 45 years, but there are actions humans can take to protect them.The Fur TradeIn the 1800s, sea otters were hunted for their fur. The fur trade between North America and Europe was booming, and sea otter fur was a popular option because of its thickness. By the mid-20th century, sea otters had been hunted to near extinction. Only 1,0002,000 sea otters were believed to be living in the wild in 1929. Many people thought the species would soon become extinct. However, due to conservation efforts during the second half of the 20th century, sea otter populations recovered. The strengthening of the numbers of sea otters in the wild is often considered to be one of the greatest successes in marine conservation.Despite their comeback, sea otters are sadly still an endangered species. This is due to predators and human impact on the sea otter's habitat.PredatorsSea otters are threatened by other animals in the water and on land. Killer whales are one of the sea otter's main predators now that the seal and sea lion populations are declining. Sharks, sea lions, and eagles also pluck sea otters from the water while bears and coyotes will hunt them on land. Sea otters use their intelligence to outsmart some of their predators. They also use their sharp teeth to protect themselves.What is the author's point of view on the reason the sea otter population recovered?Sea otters learned to eat a more varied diet, saving themselves from extinction.More people started owning sea otters as pets, which increased their number.Laws were passed to shorten the number of months in sea otter hunting season.Conservation efforts in the last half of the twentieth century saved sea otters. am I correct?will mark brainliest What is the value of x What was Jefferson Davis strategy for winning the civil war For which distributions is the Median the best measure of center
