Answer:
The reduction in assets would improve the ROE by 7.81%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Previous equity = (100% - Debt-to-total-capital ratio) * Previous total invested capital = (100% - 39%) * $440,000 = 61% * $440,000 = $268,400
Previous return on equity (ROE) = (Net income / Previous equity) * 100 = ($28,250 / $268,400) * 100 = 10.53%
New equity = (100% - Debt-to-total-capital ratio) * New total invested capital = (100% - 39%) * $252,500 = 61% * $252,500 = $154,025
New ROE = (Net income / New equity) * 100 = ($28,250 / $154,025) * 100 = 18.34%
Change in ROE = New ROE - Previous ROE = 18.34% - 10.53% = 7.81%
Since change in ROE is 7.81% and positive, this implies that the reduction in assets would improve the ROE by 7.81%.
Luebke Incorporated has provided the following data for the month of November. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $72,000 and at the end of the month was $32,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $222,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $61,000 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $66,000. The company closes out any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead to cost of goods sold. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:
Answer:
$257,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:
First step is to calculate Over applied overhead
Over applied overhead = $66,000- $61,000
Over applied overhead= $5,000
Second step is to calculate Unadjusted cost of goods sold
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $72,000+$222,000+$32,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $262,000
Now let calculate the Adjusted cost of goods sold
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $262,000-$5,000 Adjusted cost of goods sold= $257,000
Therefore The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:$257,000

KB Homes is a nationwide home builder that develops entire communities of dozens and even hundreds of homes, in addition to, building custom homes for individual customers. While a Job Costing system is appropriate for the custom home building, their new controller is planning on using a Process Costing system for the large developments. She argues that because even large developments of 100 homes only offer three or four different floor plans and thus would be more efficient for tracking costs because of the homogeneity. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Yes, I do agree.
Reasoning:
The Argument of the new supervisors in favor of applying the technological calculation to large projects which have homogeneous buildings with 3-4 different floor plans is correct. There are no settings for buildings / dwellings with the same layout and all units go through the same processes and use the same funds. For major developments of a homogeneous nature, instead of creating works to make for each unit and cost collection separately for each unit, a process that costs each floor a plan as a separate product will be much easier and more efficient for control purposes.
This procedure will also provide important data, and reintroduction and monitoring will be much easier.
Creating individual work, so that it is only more difficult to follow a work order, costs and to monitor a large number of work orders at a given moment, which can easily be avoided by adopting a process that costs money.
Therefore, the arguments put forward by the new controller are quite acceptable.
On April 1, Ringo Company borrowed $20,000 from its bank by issuing a 9%, 12-month note, with the interest to be paid on the maturity date. Required: Prepare journal entries to record the issuance of the note and the related year-end adjusting entry on December 31.
Answer:
April 1
Issuance of Loan Note
Dr. Cash $20,000
Cr. Loane Note Payable $20,000
December 31
Adjusting Entry of accrued interest
Dr. Interest Expane $1,350
Cr. Interest Payable $1,350
Explanation:
April 1:
First, we need to record the loan note issuance as follow:
Ringo company received the cash against the loan note issuance so the cash will be debited and a liability is created against the receipt of the cash. The Loan note payable account is credited.
December 31:
Now calculate the accrued interest for the year as follow
Accrued Interest = Value of Loan Note x Interest rate x Fraction of accrued months
Where
Value of Loan note = $20,000
Interest rate = 9%
Fraction of accrued months = Accrued months / 12 months = ( December 31 - April 1 ) / 12 months = 9 months / 12 months = 3/4
Placing values in the formula
Accrued Interest = $20,000 x 9% x 3/4
Accrued Interest = $1,350
As the payment of interest is not made so there is no cash involvement. Interest expense is recorded at the end of the period by adjusting entry of debit interest expense and credit interest payable account.
Steelweld, a car parts manufacturer, pays employees a higher hourly rate as they learn to master more parts of the work process. Employees earn $10 per hour when they are hired and they can earn up to $20 per hour if they master all 12 work units in the production process. What is most likely a benefit Steelweld is trying to achieve with this reward system?
Answer:
The improvement of workforce flexibility
Explanation:
The work force flexibility may be defined as the strategy of the responding to changing circumstances as well as expectations. It lays emphasizes on the flexibility and the willingness to adapt to change. The employees who approach their work with a flexible mindset are highly valued by the employers.
In the context, Steelweld company pays their employees at a higher hourly rate when they learn to master more work skills. The employees are paid much higher when they master all the 12 work units than they were hired. By doing this, the Steelweld company is trying to benefit and improve the workforce flexibility in their company.
Morris Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Morris Company estimated total overhead costs to be $432,000, and direct labor costs to be $2,160,000. Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $404,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $1,880,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a:
Answer:
$28,000 Underapplied
Explanation:
Calculation for what the balance in the Factory Overhead account is
Estimated Overhead Cost/Estimated DL = Overhead Rate
$432,000/$2,160,000 = 20 %
Actual Overhead: $404,000
Applied Overhead: (DL 20%) = ($1,880,000 20%) = $376,000
Actual OH - Applied OH = FOH
$404,000 - $376,000 =
$28,000 Underapplied
Therefore At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a:$28,000 Underapplied

On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased a warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $677,829 over a four-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $4.6 million. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability. 2. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution to Part 1:
Present Value of Lease payments:
Total Semiannual Periods (4*2) = 8
Incremental Borrowing Rate (10%/2) = 5%
Semi-annual lease payment = $677829
Cumulative PV factor for annuity due at 5% for 6 periods = 6.786373
So,
Present Value of Lease payments = $677829 x 6.786373
Present Value of Lease payments = $4600000
Solution to Part 2:
Pretax Amount of Liability At December 31:
Present Value of Lease payments = $4600000
Add: Interest expense [(4600000-677829)*5%] = 196109
less: Payments (semiannual payment x 2) = 1355658
Pretax Amount of Liability = 3440451
Pretax Amount of Asset At December 31:
Value of Asset = 4600000
Less: Depreciation (Value of Asset/ Semiannual periods) = 575000
So,
Pretax Amount of Asset = 4600000 - 575000
Pretax Amount of Asset = 4025000
During fiscal year 2019, Magic Kingdom had sales of $2 million. Its cost of goods sold, selling and general administrative expenses, and depreciation were $1.2 million, $.5 million and $.9 million, respectively. Its 7% semiannual coupon bonds will mature in 10 years, and there is no other debt. The tax rate is 21%, and tax losses cannot be carried forward or back. What is the operating cash flow for Magic Kingdom in fiscal year 2019?
Answer:
$300,000
Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below:
But before that EBIT should be determined
Sales $ 2,000,000.00
Less : Cost of Goods Sold $1,200,000.00
Gross Profit $800,000.00
Less: selling and general administrative expenses $500,000.00
Less: Depreciation expense $900,000.00
EBIT i.e. Operating Income/(Loss) $(600,000.00)
Tax at 21% $(126,000.00)
Since it is negative so the tax loss would not be determined
Now Operating Cash flow
= EBIT × (1 -T) + Depreciation expense - Chane in Working Capital
= EBIT + Depreciation expense
= -$600,000 + $900,000
= $300,000
Blossom Leasing Company agrees to lease equipment to Blue Corporation on January 1, 2020. The following information relates to the lease agreement.

Dave M. Company issues 500 shares of $10 par value Common Stock and 100 shares of $40 par value Preferred Stock as a basket for a lump sum of $105,000. Total transaction costs paid to complete the sale was $5,000. Common Stock of the company was selling for $198 per share in the market that day and Preferred Stock was selling for $110 per share in the market that day.
Required:
a. Prepare a table showing how the sale price is allocated between the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock.
b. Prepare the journal entry to record the basket sale of the two stocks.
Answer:
a.
Allocation
Common Stock $94,500
Preferred Stock $10,500
b.
Journal Entry
Cash _____________________________$105,000
Common stock _____________________ $5000
Paid-in capital in excess of par - Common _$89,500
Preferred stock _____________________$4,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par - Preferred _$6,500
Explanation:
a.
First, we need to calculate the Market value of both stock using the foloowinf formula
Market value = Numbers of shares x Market value per share
Market value of common stock = 500 x $198 = $99,000
Market value of preferred stock = 100 x $110 = $11,000
Total value = $99,000 + $11,000 = $110,000
Now calculate the weight of each sock
Weight of common stock $99,000 / $110,000 = 0.90
Weight of preferred stock = $11,000 / $110,000 = 0.10
Allocation of the sale price is as follow
Allocated sale price = Weight of Stock x Sale price
Allocated sale price of common stock = $105,000 x 0.90 = $94,500
Allocated sale price of common stock = $105,000 x 0.10 = $10,500
b.
Common Sock is recorded separately as par value and paid-in capital excess of par as follow
Common Stock ( Par Value ) = 500 x $10 = $5,000
Common Stock ( Excess of Par ) = $94,500 - $5,000 = $89,500
Preferred Stock ( Par Value ) = 100 x $40 = $4,000
Preferred Stock ( Excess of Par ) = $10,500 - $4,000 = $6,500

The legal theory of contributory negligence:
a. is in effect in the majority of states throughout the nation.
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
c. allows the negligent plaintiff to recover if he was responsible for less than 50 percent of his injury.
d. has been criticized as rewarding a plaintiff for being careless.
Answer:
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
Explanation:
Contributive negligence is a tort in law that allows the defender in a case to completely prevent a plaintiff from getting any recovery in a case.
This occurs if the defender can prove the plaintiff is negligent resulting in their own injury. That is self injury.
On the other hand comparative negligence allows the plaintiff recover a certain percentage in case of negligence that affects himself. For example if plaintiff was 10% negligent then they lose 10% of the amount they were to recover.
So contributory negligence means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.

Analyzing the information above, it is correct to say that a good presentation should be able to retain the public's attention and positively impact people. For this, it is considered that the letter D is the most relevant option for Stephan to achieve his goals in his speech, because knowing his audience in depth will be a decisive factor to align his presentation with the interests of the audience and thus retain attention and integrate them with what is being said. Therefore, research to understand more about corporate executives will lead Stephan to achieve effectiveness in his presentation.
At a local family bakery in Hyde Park, a neighbourhood of Chicago, Illinois, the marginal products of the first, second, and third sales clerks are 20, 17, and 11 customers served, respectively. The total product of the first two sales clerks is'\
Answer: 37
Explanation:
Marginal product is simply referred to as the additional output that's generated based on the additional input added to the production.
In this case, the total product of the first two sales clerks will be gotten by adding the marginal product of the first two sales clerk which will be:
= 20 + 17
= 37
Olympic Sports has two issues of debt outstanding. One is a 5% coupon bond with a face value of $33 million, a maturity of 10 years, and a yield to maturity of 6%. The coupons are paid annually. The other bond issue has a maturity of 15 years, with coupons also paid annually, and a coupon rate of 6%. The face value of the issue is $38 million, and the issue sells for 90% of par value. The firm's tax rate is 30%.
a. What is the before-tax cost of debt for Olympic? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is Olympic's after-tax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a. For before tax cost of debt
But before that following calculations need to be determined
For Bond 1:
Face value = $33,000,000
Coupon payment = 0.05 × $33,000,000 = $1,650,000
The Price of the bond is
= Coupon × [ 1 - 1 ÷ ( 1 + r)^n] ÷ r + FV ÷ ( 1 + r)^n
= $1,650,000 × [ 1 - 1 ÷ ( 1 + 0.06)^10] ÷ 0.06 + $33,000,000 ÷ ( 1 + 0.06)^10
= 1,650,000 × 7.360087 + 18,427,027.64
= $30,571,171.196
For Bond 2:
Price = 0.9 × $38,000,000
= $34,200,000
Now
Coupon = 0.06 × $38,000,000
= $2,280,000
Now before tax cost of debt is
Given that
PV -$34,200,000,
FV $38,000,000,
N 15,
PMT $2,280,000
The formula is shown below:
= RATE(NPER,PMT, PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the Before tax cost of debt of bond is 7.1053%
Now

Patrick has an adjusted gross income of $160,000 in the current year. He donated $30,000 in cash to a public charity, capital gain property with a basis of $15,000 and a fair market value of $40,000 to a public charity, and publicly traded stock with a basis of $20,000 and a fair market value of $35,000 to a private nonoperating foundation. The amount that Patrick can deduct for the stock donation to the private nonoperating foundation is ______.
An$8,000
swer:
Explanation:
Non-cash contributions of capital gain property are subject to limit of 30% of AGI = 30% * 160000 = $48,000
$40,000 in property to public charity is allowable deduction (Contribution to private non-operating foundation is further subject to a 30% limit)
Hence, allowable deduction of contribution to private non-operating foundation = 30% * AGI (Contribution subject to 30% limit) = $48,000 - $40,000 = $8,000
You purchase a property with a Market Value of $520,000 in 2005 using 5-year Interest Only 90% Loan-to-Value financing. In 2010, the Market Value of the property drops to $460,000. You are considering refinancing. The Loan-to-Value you can get for refinancing is only 70%. How much Total Cash Out of Pocket would you need to have to go through with the refinancing and pay back the original loan Principal outstanding
Answer:
$155,660
Explanation:
Note: The table to question is attached below
==> Loan to Value 90% in 2005
==> Loan to Value 70% in 2010
Loan Amount in 2005 = $520,000*0.9 = $468,000
Loan Amount in 2010 = $460,000*0.7 = $322,000
Loan Amount owed = $468,000
Through Refinancing = $322,000
Total cash out of pocket = $322,000*3% + $468,000 - $322,000
Total cash out of pocket = $9,660 + $468,000 - $322,000
Total cash out of pocket = $155,660
Vinny and Sandra have just had their first baby, and need to make a decision about how to handle work and child‑care responsibilities. Vinny earns $1000 per week working full time, and Sandra's full‑time salary is $1200 per week. They each can work part time and earn half their full‑time wage. Calculate the change in GDP for each situation, relative to when they both worked full time and had no child‑care responsibilities. If GDP falls, include a negative sign in your answer. a. Both Vinny and Sandra return to work full time and pay a child‑care provider $600 per week to care for their child. $ b. Both Vinny and Sandra will return to work full time, while Sandra’s mother takes care of their child without financial compensation. $ c. Both Vinny and Sandra will return to work full time, while Vinny's brother takes care of their baby. They'll pay him $600 a week to care for their child, but neither they nor Vinny’s brother will report those payments to the IRS, or on any government surveys. $ d. Vinny and Sandra will each return to work part time, and split child‑care responsibilities. $ e. Vinny will stay home to care for the baby, while Sandra returns to work full time. $
Answer:
A. 600
B. 0
C. 0
D. -1100
E. -1000
Explanation:
For part A you are asked to find the change in GDP with the addition of paying a babysitter $600. The GDP beforehand was the total income from both Vinny and Sandra which is $1200 + $1000 = $2200. For these questions, you are being asked to find a change in GDP which would simply be the addition of $600. Similiary, for part B there is no change in GDP because they do not pay Sandra's mother, so the change in GDP is 0. For part C, since the payments are not reported, there is no change in GDP. Part C can be thought of as a reference to the shadow market and GDP from the shadow market is not recorded. Part D has a negative 1100 because they each go back to work part-time, Vinnie earning $500 per week and Sandra earning $600. The change in GDP would be negative because they are losing 1100 in order to care for a new child. For part E, Vinnie gives up all his income which would normally amount to $1000 per week. The change in GDP is therefore negative.
The change in GDP for each situation will be:
(a) 600(b) 0(c) 0(d) -1100(e) -1000According to the question,
Whenever both work full time and had no child care then the b will be:
= [tex]1000+1200[/tex]
= [tex]2200[/tex]
(a)
New GDP,
= [tex]1000+1200+600[/tex]
= [tex]2800[/tex]
Change will be:
= [tex]2800-2200[/tex]
= [tex]600[/tex]
(b)
→ When mother doing child care isn't part of GDP then,
New GDP,
= [tex]1000+1200[/tex]
= [tex]2200[/tex]
Change will be:
= [tex]2200-2200[/tex]
= [tex]0[/tex]
(c)
→ Private non-reported transaction isn't a part of GDP then
New GDP,
= [tex]1000+1200[/tex]
= [tex]2200[/tex]
Change will be:
= [tex]2200-2200[/tex]
= [tex]0[/tex]
(d)
→ Working part time so will earn half of wages then,
New GDP,
= [tex]500+600[/tex]
= [tex]1100[/tex]
Change in GDP,
= [tex]1100-2200[/tex]
= [tex]-1100[/tex]
(e)
Only Sandra works then,
New GDP,
= [tex]1200[/tex]
Change in GDP,
= [tex]1200-2200[/tex]
= [tex]-1000[/tex]

ReNew Corporation raises funds to build renewable energy systems by issuing 3-year bonds with a coupon rate of 6% and a face value of $1,600. Assume that the market interest rate for a 3-year bond issued by a firm like ReNew is currently the same as the coupon rate. The price of each of these bonds is____ , which means that the bonds sell at ___. Suppose that the market interest rate for bonds that are similar to the ReNew bond has increased to 7%. The price of the ReNew bond changes to____ , which means that it sells at ____. Suppose that instead of rising, the market rate decreases from 6% to 4%. The new price of the bond changes to ___, which means that the bond sells at ___.
Answer:
The price of each of these bonds is $1,600, which means that the bonds sell at par.
Suppose that the market interest rate for bonds that are similar to the ReNew bond has increased to 7%. The price of the ReNew bond changes to $1,558.00 , which means that it sells at discount.
Suppose that instead of rising, the market rate decreases from 6% to 4%. The new price of the bond changes to $1,688.80, which means that the bond sells at a premium.
When the coupon rate and the market interest rate are the same, the price will be at par.
Interest rate increases:
Bond Price = Present value of coupon + Present value of bond price
Coupon = 6% * 1,600
= $96
Bond price = 96 * (1 - 1.07⁻³ / 0.07) + 1,600 / 1.07³
Bond price = $1,558.00
Interest rate decreases:
= 96 * (1 - 1.04⁻³ / 0.04) + 1,600 / 1.04³
= $1,688.80
