small accounting firm is considering the purchase of a computer software package that would greatly reduce the amount of time needed to prepare tax forms. The software costs $2150 and this expense will be incurred immediately. The firm estimates that it will save $650 of cash flow at the end of each year beginning in one year for 5 consecutive years, and also save $1788 in year 6. What is the payback on the computer package
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
650× 3= 1,950
The balance required to equate 2,150 would be
balance = 2150-1950 = 200
Pay back period = 3 years + (200/650)× 12 months
= 3 years 3.6months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
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

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
Company A Company B Market Value of Equity $400,000 $600,000 Market Value of Debt $100,000 $800,000 Cost of Equity 9% 9% Cost of Debt 3% 4% Tax Rate 35% 35% Based solely on their current weighted average cost of capital, which company should pursue an investment opportunity with an expected return of 6.5%
Answer:
Company B should pursue the investment
Explanation:
To determine a profitable investment opportunity to pursue, we would compare the weighted average cost of capital WACC to the expected return on the investment opportunity. An investment return greater than the cost of capital implies a profitable investment and vice versa
The weighted average cost of capital (WAAC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
Lets first work the after tax cost of debt for the companies:
After tax- cost of debt = cost of debt × (1-tax rate)
Company A= 3%× (1-35%) = 1.95%
Company B = 4%× (1-35%)= 2.6%
WACC coy A= 9%× (4/4+1) + 1.95% × 1/(4+1) = 7.6%
WACC coy B= 9%× (6/6+8) + 2.6% × 8/(6+8) = 5.3%
Company B has a cost of capital of 5.3% which represents the minimum
return required by by the providers of capital. An investment an expected return of 6.% appears profitable as it is greater than the company's cost of fund of 5.3%
Company B should pursue the investment

Total demand for Oxy is 10,000 units and for Sonic is 6,000 units. Machine time is a scarce resource. During the year, 50,000 machine hours are available. Oxy requires 4 machine hours per unit, while Sonic requires 2.5 machine hours per unit. What is the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
Answer:
$444,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin per hour
Oxy sonic
Sales $75 $44
Less: variable cost $40 $21
=Contribution margin per unit 35 23
÷Machine hour per unit 4 2.5
=Contribution margin per hour $8.75 $9.2
Ranking 2 1
Second step is to calculate the Hour required for sonic
Hour required for sonic = 6,000*2.5
Hour required for sonic= 15,000 hours
Third step is to calculate the Hour available for oxy
Hour available for oxy = 50,000-15,000
Hour available for oxy = 35,000 hours
Fourth step is to calculate the Production of Oxy
Production of Oxy = 35,000/4
Production of Oxy= 8,750 units
Now let calculate the Maximum contribution margin
Maximum contribution margin = 8,750*35+ 6000*23
Maximum contribution margin =306,250+,138,000
Maximum contribution margin = $444,250
Therefore the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year is $444,250

Name one thing you're afraid of when you think of college and career.
Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,500 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.50 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,410 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,940. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate variable overhead using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.5*7,500
Allocated MOH= $11,250
Now, we can calculate the cash disbursement for August. Depreciation is not a cash expense. We should deduct it from fixed costs.
Overhead cash disbursement= 11,250 + 100,410 - 8,940
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Sunland purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2020, for $158,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee, Sunland can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
No amount should be amortized since the license can be renewed indefinitely for successive 5-year terms.
Instead, the license should be tested for impairment annually to determine impairment loss.
Explanation:
An intangible asset that can be used indefinitely is treated like purchased Goodwill. It should never be amortized. Annually, the asset should be tested for impairment. The test is to compare the market value of the license with the book value.
Times-Roman Publishing Company reports the following amounts in its first three years of operation: ($ 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.
A firm' s sales procedure involves preparing sales invoices based on shipping documents; posting the sales amounts to accounts receivable records; and posting quantities billed to the inventory records. Due to control weaknesses in the procedure, certain goods that are shipped may not be reflected in the sales invoices. The exposure from this risk can result in:
Answer: understatement of revenues and receivables and over statement of inventory
Explanation:
Control weakness simply refers to the failure by a company to implement the internal controls. Based on the information given, the exposure from this risk can result in understatement of revenues and receivables and over statement of inventory.
There'll be understatement of revenue and receivables since sales is not recorded while the inventory will be overstated.

Answer:
Average
Explanation:
The multiplier effect occurs when an initial increase (or decrease) in autonomous expenditure produces a greater increase (or decrease) in real GDP than the initial change. In which type of discretionary fiscal policy does the multiplier play a role? tax changes only neither government spending changes nor tax changes government spending changes only both government spending changes and tax changes Assume a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 0.5. Which discretionary fiscal policy would have a more pronounced impact on the economy? A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending, or a 800 billion dollar tax cut, would both have an equal impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending would have a more pronounced impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar tax cut would have a more pronounced impact on the economy.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice d and Choice b".
Explanation:
In question 1:
The multiplier effect is produced whenever an initial rise (or decrease) of self-employed market capitalization (or decreases) GDP Growth higher than the original change. Where both increases in public spending or adjustments in taxes are produced by a budgetary monetary strategy, a multiplier mostly on the economy plays a major role in public spending and new taxes.
In question 2:
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a more noticeable influence on financial spending, via an 800 billion dollar increase in government expenditure. This will have more major economic effects on fiscal policy. More noticeable effects of increased spending will have on the aggregate throughout the economy.
The use of government budget funding policies to impact economic factors, particularly macroeconomic variables such as aggregate consumer spending, employment, inflation, and economic growth, is referred to as fiscal policy.
How is a fiscal policy that is discretionarily chosen?The multiplier impact occurs anytime an initial increase (or drop) in self-employed market capitalization (or reduces) GDP Growth that is greater than the original change.
When a fiscal monetary strategy produces both increases in public expenditure and tax adjustments, a multiplier based primarily on the economy plays a significant role in both public spending and new taxes.
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a greater impact on financial expenditures, resulting in an 800 billion dollar rise in government spending.
This will have a greater impact on budgetary policy. The aggregate consequences of higher expenditure will be more visible throughout the economy.
Thus, Options B and D are correct.

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.
Suppose you are the money manager of a $5.21 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas: Stock Investment Beta A $ 320,000 1.50 B 780,000 (0.50) C 1,260,000 1.25 D 2,850,000 0.75 If the market's required rate of return is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%, what is the fund's required rate of return
Answer: 8.65%
Explanation:
First find the weights of the stocks:
Total = 320,000 + 780,000 + 1,260,000 + 2,850,000
= $5,210,000
Stock A:
= 320,000 / 5,210,000
= 6.14%
Stock B:
= 780,000 / 5,210,000
= 14.97%
Stock C:
= 1,260,000 / 5,210,000
= 24.18%
Stock D:
= 2,850,000 / 5,210,000
= 54.70%
Then calculate Portfolio Beta.
Portfolio beta = (6.14% * 1.50) + (14.97% * - 0.5) + (24.18% * 1.25) + (54.72% * 0.75)
= 0.7299
Required rate of return using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
= Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 5% + 0.7299 * (10% - 5%)
= 8.65%
Item4 3 points eBookHintPrintReferencesItem 4 Spotter Corporation reported the following for June in its periodic inventory records. Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Beginning 12 $ 8 $ 96 11 Purchase 38 9 342 24 Purchase 20 11 220 30 Ending 24 Required: Calculate the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost methods.
Answer:
a. FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $256
cost of goods sold = $402
b. LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $204
cost of goods sold = $454
c. Weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $225.60
cost of goods sold = $432.40
Explanation:
Periodic method means cost of sales and inventory balance are determined at the end of the period.
Step 1 : Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for Sale - Units in Inventory
= (12 + 38 + 20) - 24
= 46
Step 2 : FIFO
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 20 x $11 + 4 x $9 = $256
cost of goods sold = 12 x $8 x 34 x $9 = $402
Step 3 : LIFO
LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 12 x $9 + 12 x $8 = $204
cost of goods sold = 20 x $11 x 26 x $9 = $454
Step 4 : Weighted average cost
Weighted average cost method calculates a new unit cost with every purchase made. this unit cost is then used to calculated cost of sale and ending inventory.
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (12 x $8 + 38 x $9 + 20 x $11 ) ÷ (12 + 38 + 20)
= $9.40
cost of ending inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost
= 24 x $9.40
= $225.60
cost of goods sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost
= 46 x $9.40
= $432.40
