Explanation:
Irrespective of whether a firm produces or shuts down in the short run, fixed cost is equal to its _____
a. average variable cost.
b. total cost.
c. sunk cost.
d. total revenue.
e. marginal cost.
Answer:
c. sunk cost.
Explanation:
Because in short run, fixed cost doesn't changes with output, that is whether we produce or not, we have to pay for it, so it is considered as Sunk cost. Also like Sunk cost, we don't make decisions with fixed costs.
The following information for Cooper Enterprises is given below:December 31, 2018Assets and obligations Plan assets (at fair value) $600,000Accumulated benefit obligation 1,110,000Projected benefit obligation 1,200,000Other Items Pension asset / liability, January 1, 2018 30,000Contributions 360,000Accumulated other comprehensive loss 503,700There were no actuarial gains or losses at January 1, 2018.

The computation of the amount reported as a pension liability on the balance sheet is as follows:
= Projected benefit obligation - plant asset at fair value
= $1,200,000 - $600,000
= $600,000
Hence, the amount reported as a pension liability on the balance sheet is $600,000
Therefore the correct option is a.

in constructing the official unemployment rate (U-3), which of the following does the bureau of labor statistics take into account? choose as many as are correct.
a)survey of firms reporting how many workers they laid off or fired
b)initial unemployment claimed field
c)the average unemployment rate over the last 12 months
d)The change in job posting from one year ago
e) survey of individuals reporting wheater they have job or active looked for work in the last 4 week
Answer:
e) survey of individuals reporting whether they have job or active looked for work in the last 4 week
Explanation:
The unemployment rate (U-3) reports on the number of jobless people that are actively seeking employment. The bureau of labor statistics considers individuals who have sought employment in the past four weeks. The bureau defines an unemployed person as one that is jobless but has actively sought work in the last four weeks.
This unemployment rate (U3) is the most reported and followed. The report is released monthly. The U3 unemployment rate is criticized for not being inclusive of all jobless people. For instance, it does not include discouraged job seekers or those not looking for work due to other factors such as caring for the sick and elderly at home.
he director of capital budgeting for See-Saw Inc., manufacturers of playground equipment, is considering a plan to expand production facilities in order to meet an increase in demand. He estimates that this expansion will produce a rate of return of 11%. The firm's target capital structure calls for a debt/equity ratio of 0.8. See-Saw currently has a bond issue outstanding that will mature in 25 years and has a 7% annual coupon rate. The bonds are currently selling for $804. The firm has maintained a constant growth rate of 6%. See-Saw's next expected dividend is $2 (D1), its current stock price is $40, and its tax rate is 40%. Should it undertake the expansion? (Assume that there is no preferred stock outstanding and that any new debt will have a 25-year maturity.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Debt = D ÷ (E + D)
= 0.8 ÷ (1 + 0.8)
= 0.4444
Now
Weight of equity = 1 - Debt
= 1 - 0.4444
= 0.5556
As per Dividend discount model
Price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)
40 = $2 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.06)
Cost of equity = 11%
Cost of debt
K = N
Let us assume the par value be $1,000
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon) ÷ (1 + YTM)^k] + Par value ÷ (1 + YTM)^N
k=1
K =25
$804 =∑ [(7 × $1000 ÷ 100)/(1 + YTM ÷ 100)^k] + $1000 ÷ (1 + YTM ÷ 100)^25
k=1
YTM = 9
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 9 × (1 - 0.21)
= 7.11
WACC = after tax cost of debt × W(D) + cost of equity ×W(E)
= 7.11 × 0.4444 + 11 × 0.5556
= 9.27%
As we can see that the WACC is lower than the return so it should be undertake the expansion
The following information was taken from the 2021 financial statements of Waterway Industries: Bonds payable, January 1, 2021 $ 809000 Bonds payable, December 31, 2021 4830000 During 2021 • A $725000 payment was made to retire bonds payable with a face amount of $807000. • Bonds payable with a face amount of $319000 were issued in exchange for equipment. In its statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, what amount should Waterway report as proceeds from issuance of bonds payable?
Answer:
the amount reported as proceeds from bond issuance is $4,509,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount reported as proceeds from bond issuance is as follows
Total Bond Issued during 2021
= Bonds payable, December 31, 2021 - Bonds payable, January 1, 2021 + Bond Payable retired
= $4,830,000 - $809,000 + $807,000
= $4,828,000
Now
Bond issued for cash is
= Total bond issued - Bonds issued in exchange for Equipment
= $4,828,000 - $319,000
= $4,509,000
Hence, the amount reported as proceeds from bond issuance is $4,509,000

Answer:
The minimum amount of time required is:
26.82 years.
Explanation:
Present value = $2,600
Future value = $7,800 ($2,600 * 3)
Annual interest rate = 4.1%
Monthly interest rate = 4.1%/12 = 0.342%
$2,600 will need to be invested for 321.781 (26.82 years) periods to reach the future value of $7,800.00.
FV (Future Value) $7,800.00
PV (Present Value) $2,600.00
N (Number of Periods) 321.781
I/Y (Interest Rate) 0.342%

Early in the current year, Tokay Co. purchased the Silverton Mine at a cost of $31,420,000. The mine was estimated to contain 290,000 tons of ore and to have a residual value of $3,000,000 after mining operations are completed. During the year, 275,000 tons of ore were removed from the mine. At year-end, the book value of the mine (cost minus accumulated depletion) is:
Answer:
$4,470,000
Explanation:
Cost per ton = Cost - Salvage value / Estimated tons
Cost per ton = 31,420,000 - 3,000,000 / 290,000
Cost per ton = $98 per tons
Tons remaining = 290,000 - 275,000
Tons remaining = 15,000 tons
Book value of the mine at year-end = 15,000 tons*$98 + $3,000,000
Book value of the mine at year-end = $1,470,000 + $3,000,000
Book value of the mine at year-end = $4,470,000

At the end of 20X4, Sherpa Lighting Ltd. has a large stock of incandescent lighting fixtures that are becoming obsolete due to a new trend to low-energy fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures. The current inventory of incandescent fixtures has a cost of $170,000. The sales manager of Sherpa estimates that the inventory can be sold through the normal course of business over the next several reporting quarters for approximately $150,000. Sales personnel are given a 10% commission on sales. In addition, Sherpa will grant an additional 5% sales commission for sales of these almost-obsolete fixtures, intended to make up for the reduced sales prices as well as an additional incentive to sell them. In early 20X5, Sherpa's production manager decided that the fixtures can be adapted to not only accept the new LED lighting but also compete quite effectively with new products coming on the market. During 2005, the fixtures are converted at a cost of $25,000. The sales manager estimates that after the conversion, the newly adapted inventory can be repriced to fetch $185,000 (before 10% sales commission) in the market. Required: Using the valuation allowance method, prepare the appropriate journal entries to record inventory adjustments at the end of each of 20X4 and 20X5.
Answer:
Sherpa Lighting Ltd.
Journal Entries, using the valuation allowance method:
December 31, 20X4:
Debit Inventory Write-down Expense $20,000
Credit Inventory $20,000
To write down inventory because of obsolescence.
December 31, 20X5:
Debit Inventory $25,000
Credit Cash Account $25,000
To record the cost of converting the fixtures.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31, 20X4:
Cost of Inventory of incandescent fixtures = $170,000
Estimated sales value of the inventory = $150,000
Obsolete inventory Expense = $20,000 ($170,000 - $150,000)
December 31, 20X5:
Balance of Inventory of incandescent fixtures = $150,000
Add conversion cost = 25,000
Ending balance of inventory = $175,000

ou decide to invest in a portfolio consisting of 17 percent Stock X, 38 percent Stock Y, and the remainder in Stock Z. Based on the following information, what is the standard deviation of your portfolio? State of Economy Probability of State Return if State Occurs of Economy Stock X Stock Y Stock Z Normal .75 9.20% 2.60% 11.60% Boom .25 16.50% 24.50% 16.00%
Answer:
5.00%
Explanation:
The computation of the standard deviation is as follows;
Stock return for Normal state of the economy
= 0.17 × 9.20 + 0.38 × 2.60 + 0.45 × 11.60
= 1.564% + 0.988% + 5.22%
= 7.78%
Now
Stock return for Boom state of the economy
= 0.17 × 16.50 + 0.38 × 24.50 + 0.45 × 16
= 2.805% + 9.31% + 7.2%
= 19.32%
Now Weighted average return
= 0.75 × 7.78 + 0.25 × 19.32
= 5.835% + 4.83%
= 10.67%
Standard deviation = Normal probability × (Stock return for Normal state of the economy - Weighted average return)^number of years + Boom probability × (Stock return for Boom state of the economy - Weighted average return)^number of years)^percentage
= 0.75 × (7.78 - 10.67)^2 + 0.25 × (19.32 - 10.67)^2)^0.5
= 5.00%
Suppose a stock will have a return of -10% during a recession, and a return of 20% with normal market condition. If over the next year, the chance of recession is 40%, and the chance of normal condition is 60%. The stock's expected return next year is ______ %.
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
Expected return is a weighted average of the different returns that a stock will have in different economic conditions.
This stock's expected return is;
= (Probability Economic state * Return given economic state) + (Probability Economic state b * Return given economic state b)
= ( 40% * -10%) + (20% * 60%)
= 8%
Assume the Atlas Corporation is expected to pay a $5 cash dividend next year. Dividends are expected to shrink at a rate of 3% per year. The expected return from the market portfolio is 13% and riskless interest rate is 6%. Use the constant-growth dividend discount model (DDM) to determine the intrinsic value of Atlas stock if the company has a beta of .5.
Answer: $40
Explanation:
First find the required return using CAPM;
Required return = Riskfree rate + beta * (Market return - riskfree rate)
= 6% + 0.5 * (13% - 6%)
= 9.5%
Then use DDM to determine intrinsic value;
= Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)
= 5 / (9.5% - (-3%))
= $40

Warren Company plans to depreciate a new building using the double declining-balance depreciation method. The building cost is $820,000. The estimated residual value of the building is $52,000 and it has an expected useful life of 25 years. Assuming the first year's depreciation expense was recorded properly, what would be the amount of depreciation expense for the second year
Answer:
The depreciation expense for the second year would be $60,352.
Explanation:
Double-declining-balance can be described as a method of depreciation method that depreciates an assets at twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method.
The depreciation expense for the second year can then be calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number expected useful life = 1 / 25 = 0.04, or 4%
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2
= 4% * 2 = 8%
Year 1 depreciation expense = Building cost * Double-declining depreciation rate = $820,000 * 8% = $65,600
Year 2 depreciation expense = (Building cost - Year 1 depreciation expense) * Double-declining depreciation rate = ($820,000 - $65,600) * 8% = $754,400 * 8% = $60,352
Therefore, the depreciation expense for the second year would be $60,352.

2. The main characteristics of the balance sheet and the income statement and the relationship between the two statements:
The balance sheet is a financial statement that records the outstanding balances of assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of a period. It states the closing balances that are permanent and transferrable to the next accounting period. The income statement is a financial statement that records the revenue, expenses, and income for the period. The temporary closing balances are taken to this statement in order to determine the net income.
The relationship between the two statements is that the net income or loss that is extracted from the income statement is taken to the balance sheet. The two statements are end-of-period financial statements that determine the financial profitability and the financial position (assets, liabilities, and equity) of the business.
Explanation:
In this instance, the template for adding and subtracting amounts in the rows is not available. So the transactions have been recorded using the journal. Most importantly, note that, each transaction increases or reduces the assets, the liabilities, and the equity, as the case may be.
