Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The Federal Reserve can reduce the interest rates to stimulate greater output and employment. The federal government can increase government spending to help ease the recession.

The Fed can reduce interest rates by engaging in expansionary monetary policy that would then make it easier to borrow funds for investment. The Federal government can also increase spending as this will put more money into the economy to help it start moving again.

b. If both monetary and fiscal policy are used, the MP curve will shift downward, and the IS curve will shift to the right. Both shifts will increase income.

If both monetary and fiscal policy are used, companies will start producing again and hiring more people which will shift the Marginal Productivity curve downward. The IS curve will also shift to the right and both to these are indicators of an increase in income.

Her net business profit on her Schedule C for the year is $196,000. What is her self-employment tax liability and additional Medicare tax liability for 2020

Answers

Answer:

Self employment tax liability = $‭22,323.97Additional Medicare tax liability = $0

Explanation:

According to the IRS, the amount subject to self-employment tax is 92.35% of net income from self-employment for the year.

Alice's taxable income is:

= 92.35% * 196,000

= $181,006

Self employment tax-liability:

Social security tax for 2020 is 12.4% for the first $137,700 of income.

= 12.4% * 137,700

= $17,074.80

Medicare tax:

= 2.9% on taxable income

= 2.9% * 181,006

= $‭5,249.17

Self-employment tax is:

= 17,074.80 + 5,249.17

= $‭22,323.97

Additional Medicare tax applies on only amounts above $200,000 so it is $0 in this case.

13) Storico Co. just paid a dividend of $3.15 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 20 percent next year and then reduce its dividend growth rate by 5 percentage points per year until it reaches the industry average of 5 percent dividend growth, after which the company will keep a constant growth rate forever. If the required return on the company’s stock is 12 percent, what will a share of stock sell for today? (4 pts)

Answers

Answer:

$61.29

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what will a share of stock sell for today

First step is to calculate the price in Year 3

P3= $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)(1.05) / (.12 – .05)

P3= $5.020785/0.07

P3=$71.72

Now Let Calculate the price of stock today using the Present Value (PV) of the first three dividends in addition with the Present Value (PV) of the stock price in Year 3:

P0= $3.15(1.20)/(1.12) + $3.15(1.20)(1.15)/1.12^²+ $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)/1.12^³+ $71.72/1.12^³

P0=$3.78/1.12+$4.347/1.2544+$4.7817/1.404928+$71.72/1.404928

P0=$3.375+3.465+3.4035+$51.048

P0= $61.29

Therefore what will a share of stock sell for today is $61.29

Park Co.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, Schnell Corp., maintains its accounting records in German marks. Because all of Schnell's branch offices are in Switzerland, its functional currency is the Swiss franc. Remeasurement of Schnell's 20X1 financial statements resulted in a $7,600 gain, and translation of its financial statements resulted in an $8,100 gain. What amount should Park report as a foreign exchange gain in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 20X1

Answers

Answer: $7600

Explanation:

The amount that Park should report as a foreign exchange gain in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 20X1 will be $7600.

We should note that when we want to determine the net income for a particular period, the translatation adjustments will not be included. Therefore the $8100 gain won't be included in the calculation. Hence, Park should report only $7600 gain.

Explanation:

Hsung Company accumulates the following data concerning a proposed capital investment: cash cost $226,445, net annual cash flows $40,500, and present value factor of cash inflows for 10 years is 5.89 (rounded). (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45).) Determine the net present value, and indicate whether the investment should be made.

Answers

Answer:

Hsung Company

a. The net present value is:

= $12,100.

b. Since the investment could yield a net present value of $12,100, the investment should be made.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cash cost of proposed capital investment = $226,445

Net annual cash inflows = $40,500

Present value factor of cash inflows for 10 years = 5.89 (rounded)

Present value of net annual cash inflows = $238,545 ($40,500 * 5.89)

The net present value of the proposed capital project = Present value of net annual cash inflows minus the initial investment cost

= $12,100 ($238,545 - $226,445)

Answer:

12100

Explanation:

40500*5.89=238545

238545-226445=12100

12100

In its first year of operations, Crane Company recognized $31,700 in service revenue, $7,700 of which was on account and still outstanding at year-end. The remaining $24,000 was received in cash from customers. The company incurred operating expenses of $16,600. Of these expenses, $12,690 were paid in cash; $3,910 was still owed on account at year-end. In addition, Crane prepaid $3,260 for insurance coverage that would not be used until the second year of operations.

Required:
Calcuate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and calculate the first years net earnings under the accrual basis of accouriting.

Answers

Answer:

Under the cash basis, expenses and revenue are recorded in the period the cash is received or spent.

Under the Accrual basis, expenses and revenue are recorded in the period incurred.

Under Cash basis:

= Cash Revenue - cash expenses - Prepaid expenses

= 24,000 - 12,690 - 3,260

= $8,050

Under Accrual basis:

= Revenue for the year - Expenses for the year

= 31,700 - 16,600

= $15,700

Storm Tools has formed a new business unit to produce battery-powered drills. The business unit was formed by the transfer of selected assets and obligations from the parent company. The unit's initial balance sheet on January 1 contained cash ($500,000), plant and equipment ($2,500,000), notes payable to the parent ($1,000,000), and residual equity ($2,000,000).
The business unit is expected to repay the note at $50,000 per month, plus all accrued interest at 1/2% per month. Payments are made on the last day of each month.
The unit is scheduled to produce 25,000 drills during January, with an increase of 2,500 units per month for the next three months. Each drill requires $40 of raw materials. Raw materials are purchased on account, and paid in the month following the month of purchase. The plant manager has established a goal to end each month with raw materials on hand, sufficient to meet 25% of the following month's planned production.
The unit expects to sell 20,000 drills in January; 25,000 in February, 25,000 in March, and 30,000 per month thereafter. The selling price is $100 per drill. Half of the drills will be sold for cash through a website. The others will be sold to retailers on account, who pay 40% in the month of purchase, and 60% in the following month. Uncollectible accounts are not material. Each drill requires 20 minutes of direct labor to assemble. Labor rates are $24 per hour. Variable factory overhead is applied at $9 per direct labor hour. The fixed factory overhead is $25,000 per month; 60% of this amount is related to depreciation of plant and equipment. With the exception of depreciation, all overhead is funded as incurred.
Selling, general, and administrative costs are funded in cash as incurred, and consist of fixed components (salaries, $100,000; office, $40,000; and advertising, $75,000) and variable components (15% of sales). Prepare a monthly comprehensive budget plan for Storm's new business unit for January through March. The plan should include the (a) sales and cash collections budget, (b) production budget, (c) direct materials purchases and payments budget, (d) direct labor budget, (e) factory overhead budget, (f) ending finished goods budget (assume total factory overhead is applied to production at the rate of $11.73 per direct labor hour), (g) SG&A budget, and (h) cash budget.

We have implicitly assumed that Ace Airline starts paying the salary of $15,000 per month only at the end of the two-month school. Such a practice drew significant complaints from the trainees. Ace decided to change its practice and pay the trainees during the training session as well. How would the new policy change Ace's class size

Answers

Answer:

Ace Airline class size will increase as more trainees would be willing to work with Ace Airlines.

Explanation:

Ace airlines is paying trainees $15,000 per month after they complete their training. There was a complain by trainees that they are not paid for the training and the training expense is born by the trainees themselves. Ace decides to pay the trainees for the training sessions as well and this will attract more trainees to work for Ace.

Just before the year ended, a company offered to buy 4,120 units for $14.95 each. X Company had the capacity to produce the additional 4,120 units, but because the special order product was slightly different than the regular product, direct material costs were expected to increase to $2.40 per unit, and some special equipment would have to be rented for a total of $19,000.

Dr Cash $18,200

Cr Lease Revenue $1,801

Cr Lease Receivable $16,399

Explanation:

1. Calculation to Show how International Machines determined the $18,200 quarterly lease payments

First step is to find the Present value of annuity at period start

Lease term=n = 2 x 4 quarters

Lease term=n= 8 periods

Fair value of asset = $138,287

Implicit interest rate, i = 6%, quarterly rate = 6%/4 Implicit interest rate= 1.5%

Present value of annuity at period start at 1.5%, 8 periods

Present value of annuity at period start = 7.5982

Now let determine the quarterly payments

Quarterly payments= $138,287/7.5982

Quarterly payments = $18,200 per quarter

Therefore the quarterly lease payments is $18,200

2) Preparation of the appropriate entries for International Machines to record the lease at its beginning, January 1, 2021, and the second lease payment on April 1, 2021.

(To record second lease payment)

Calculation of lease revenue as on April 1, 2021

Lease revenue = ($138,287 – $18,200) x 1.5%

Lease revenue= $120,087×1.5%

Lease revenue= $1,801

Lease receivable = $18,200 – $1,801

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $28 per unit and whose variable expense is $23 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $9,500. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 9,500 / (28 - 23)

Break-even point in units= 1,900 units

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)=  9,500 / (5 / 28)

Break-even point (dollars)= $53,200

Finally, the fixed costs increase to $10,100:

Break-even point in units= 10,100 / 5

Break-even point in units= 2,020 units

Break-even point (dollars)= 10,100 / (5/28)

Break-even point (dollars)= $56,560

After-tax profit                                       $ 173,800

Break-even point in sales revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio

= $440,000/0.55

= $800,000

Annual margin of safety = normal sales revenue minus break-even sales revenue

= $1,200,000 - $800,000

= $400,000

Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales revenue * 100

= $660,000/$1,200,000 * 100 = 55%

If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue

= ($440,000 + $80,000)/0.55 = $520,000/0.55 = $945,455

To achieve after-tax net income of $250,000, the required dollar sales revenue:

Net income after-tax = $250,000

Tax rate = 21%

Net income before tax = $250,000/1-21%

= $250,000/0.79 = $316,456

Sales dollars to achieve target profit = (Fixed costs + Target Profit/1 - 0.21)/Contribution margin

= ($440,000 + ($250,000/0.79))/0-55

= ($440,000 + $316,456)/0.55

= $756,456/0.55

= $1,375,375

Answer:

a. Output gap for 2017 = –0.66%

b. Output gap for 2018 = 0.27%

c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more positive.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Year             Potential GDP                Real GDP

2017               $18.17 trillion               $18.05 trillion

2018               $18.51 trillion              $18.56 trillion

To calculate output gap in percentage form, the following formula is used:

Output gap = ((Real GDP -  Potential GDP) / Potential GDP) * 100 ......... (1)

Therefore, we have:

a. Calculate the output gap for 2017. %

Using equation (1), we have:

Output gap for 2017 = ((18.05 - 18.17) / 18.17) * 100 = –0.66%

b. Calculate the output gap for 2018. %

Using equation (1), we have:

Output gap for 2018 = ((18.56 - 18.51) / 18.51) * 100 = 0.27%

c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more .

Since the output gap in 2017 is negative while the output gap in 2018 is positive; this implies that from 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more positive.

Old Economy Traders opened an account to short-sell 1,300 shares of Internet Dreams at $46 per share. The initial margin requirement was 50%. (The margin account pays no interest.) A year later, the price of Internet Dreams has risen from $46 to $59, and the stock has paid a dividend of $3.50 per share. a. What is the remaining margin in the account? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answers

Answer: $8450

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total initial asset which will be the value of shares sold and the margin which will be:

= (1300 × $46) + (50% × 1300 × $46)

= $59800 + $29900

= $89700

We will then calculate total liability which will be:

= (1300 × $59) + (1300 × $3.50)

= $76700 + $4550

= $81250

The remaining margin will then be:

= $89700 - $81250

= $8450

Adkins Bakery uses the modified half-month convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or sold. Adkins has a calendar year accounting period and uses the straight-line method to compute depreciation expense. On March 17, 2018, Adkins acquired equipment at a cost of $220,000. The equipment has a residual value of $43,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. What amount of depreciation expense will be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2018

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation expense= $36,875

Explanation:

Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.

An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:

Annual depreciation:  

= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life

Cost - 220,000

Residual value = 43,000

Estimated useful life = 4 years

Annual depreciation = (220,000- 43,000)/4 =44,250

Annual depreciation = 44,250.

Under the half-month convention, a full month depreciation is charged where an asset is first put to at the middle month of the month.

Thus March 17, 2018 to December 2018 is taken to be 10 full months

Depreciation expense = 44,250.× 10/12 = 36,875

Depreciation expense= $36,875

The carrying value of bonds at maturity always equals: Multiple Choice the amount of discount or premium. the amount of cash originally received in exchange for the bonds plus any unamortized discount or less any premium. the par value of the bond. the amount of cash originally received in exchange for the bonds. the amount in excess of par value.

Answers

Answer: the par value of the bond

Explanation:

The carrying value of bonds at maturity will always be equal to the par value of the bond. The carrying value of a bond is simply refered to as the bond's face value or par value plus the premiums taht are unamortized.

We should note that during the time of maturity of the bond, there'll have been an ammortization of the discounts or premiums, while the bond's par value will be left.

The carrying value of bonds at maturity always equals to the amount of cash originally received in exchange for the bonds plus any unamortized discount or less any premium. Thus, option (b) is correct.

At maturity, bonds' carrying values will always be the same as their par values. The face value or par value of a bond plus any unamortized premiums are simply referred to as the bond's carrying value.

To put it another way, it is the total of a bond's face value, any unamortized premiums, and any unamortized discounts, if any. The par value, interest rate, and remaining maturity period of the bond must all be known before calculating the carrying value using the effective interest rate technique.

Therefore, option (b) is correct.

For the credit sales, 50% of the amount is collected in the month of sale, and 50% in the next month. The total expected cash receipts during March are

Answers

Answer:

Total cash collection March= $53,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

February $60,000

March $50,000.

Sales in cash= 40%

Sales on account= 60% (50% of the amount is collected in the month of sale, and 50% in the next month)

We need to calculate the cash collection for March:

Cash collection March:

Sales on Cash March= (50,000*0.4)= 20,000

Sales on account March= (50,000*0.6)*0.5= 15,000

Sales on account February= (60,000*0.6)*0.5= 18,000

Total cash collection March= $53,000

A $64,000 machine with a 6-year class life was purchased 2 years ago. The machine will now be sold for $50,000 and replaced with a new machine costing $82,000, with a 10-year class life.

Simplified straight line depreciation is employed for both machines, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 34 percent. What is the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project

Answers

Answer:

$6,779

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project

First step is to calculate the depreciation

Depreciation=[($64,000/6 years)-($82,000/10 years)

Depreciation=$10,667-$8,200

Depreciation=$2,467

Now let calculate the Incremental annual cash flow

Incremental annual cash flow ={($9,000-$2,467)

-[($9,000-$2,467)*34%]+$2,467}

Incremental annual cash flow =[($6,533-$2,221)+$2,467]

Incremental annual cash flow =$4,312+$2,467

Incremental annual cash flow=$6,779

Therefore the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project is $6,779

(4 pts.) a) What is your estimate of the current stock price? b) What is the target stock price in one year? c) Assuming the company pays no dividends, what is the implied return on the company’s stock over the next year?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 78.96

(b) 82.99

(c) 5.10

Explanation:

The current stock price can be calculated as follows

= 3.76 × 21

= 78.96

The target stock price in one year can be calculated as follows

= 3.76(1+5.1%)×21

= 3.76×(1+0.051)×21

= 3.76×1.051×21

= 82.99

The implied return on company's stock over one year can be calculated as follows

= 82.99-78.96/78.96

= 4.03/78.96

= 0.0510× 100

Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).fill in the blank 1 unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $108,000.fill in the blank 2 units

Answers

Answer:

Break even point in units=15,500 units

Units to achieve target profit=19,100 units

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs

Break-even point (in units) is calculated using this formula:  

Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)

Break even point in units=  $465,000/(92-62)=15,500 units

Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period + target profit)/ contribution per unit

Units to achieve target profit of 108,000 = ($465,000+  108,000)/ (92-62)=19,100 units

Break even point in units=15,500 units

Units to achieve target profit=19,100 units

Concerning the sale of machine by Grey (Parent) to Blue (Subsidiary), we must first eliminate the Income (gain on sale) in Parent as well as the asset that sits in the Subsidiary.

Debit : Other Income  ($66,000 - $25,000)  $41,000

Credit : Machinery  $41,000

Also, we have to eliminate the unrealized profit on the  gain of the asset sold.

Debit : Accumulated depreciation  $4,556

Credit : Depreciation $4,556

Deprecation calculation :

Deprecation = $41,000 ÷ 9 = $4,556

Answers

Answer:

greater; the client's frustration and mistrust.

Explanation:

Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service.

The fundamentals of Project Management includes;

1. Project initiation

2. Project planning

3. Project execution

4. Monitoring and controlling of the project

5. Adapting and closure of project.

It is very important and essential that project managers in various organizations, businesses and professions adopt the aforementioned fundamentals in order to successfully achieve their aim, objectives and goals set for a project.

Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.

The greater the distance between the time of the event and the time the client knows about the events, the greater the client's frustration and mistrust. Thus, project managers are advised to reduce a client's frustration and enhance trust by reducing the distance between the time of the event and the time the client knows about the events i.e timely dissemination of informations to the client.
