Francisco leased equipment from Julio on December 31, 2021. The lease is a 10-year lease with annual payments of $159,000 due on December 31 of each year beginning December 31, 2021. The present value of the lease payments is $1,006,192. Francisco's incremental borrowing rate is 14% for this type of lease. The implicit rate of 12% is known by the lessee. What should be the balance in Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022
Answer: $789855
Explanation:
Initial liability = $1,006,192
Less: Payment = $159,000
Liability = $847192
× Implicit rate 12%
Interest = 12% × $847192 = $101663
Then, reduced balance will be:
= Payment - Interest
= $159,000 - $101663
= $57337
Therefore, Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022 will be:
= $847192 - $57337
= $789855
If a well-diversified portfolio of stocks has an expected return of 15% when the expected return on the market portfolio is 10%, then:__________a) Treasury bills are offering a 7% yield.b) The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0.c) The portfolio beta equals 1.67.d) The investor's portfolio contains many defensive stocks.
Answer:
B. The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0
Explanation:
the answer to this question is option b. The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0. the reason is simple. we have the portfolio of expected return, which is 15% to be greater than the market portfolio of return which is 10 percent, then this is to tell us that the portfolio beta is going to be greater than 1.
15% is greater than 10%.
A company has 1000000 shares outstanding trading at $15 a piece. Managers believe that the discount rate appropriate for the risk borne is 15% and total cash flows, expected to be $1 million next year, will rise by 5% per year indefinitely. Discuss a strategy that is beneficial to the current shareholders.
Answer:
Explanation:
Knowing the value of the equity and establishing the intrinsic worth of the share may help you develop a perfect strategy that will benefit the current shareholders.
Value of the equity = Cashflow÷(discount rate - growth rate)
= $1,000,000 ÷ (15%-5%)
= $1,000,000 ÷ (10%)
= $10,000,000
Intrinsic value per share = Value of the equity ÷ Shares outstanding
= $10,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000
= $10
For the share, The intrinsic value = $10
However, since the current trading share price is $15, then we can posit that the share price is over-valued.
As a result, the perfect strategy that will be beneficial to the shareholders is for the current shareholders to sell the shares (short selling at a high price and purchasing at a low price).
Mercury Company has only one inventory pool. On December 31, 2021, Mercury adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory on that date using the dollar-value LIFO method was $201,000. Inventory data are as follows:
Year Ending Inventory at Year-End Costs Ending Inventory at Base Year Costs
2019 $260,400 $248,000
2020 347,300 302,000
2021 350,400 292,000
Required:
Compute the inventory at December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, using the dollar-value LIFO method.
Answer:
Explanation:
The cost index can be calculated as follows:
In 2019:
= 260400/248000
= 1.05
In 2020:
= 347300/302000
= 1.15
In 2021:
= 350400/292000
= 1.2
Inventory Layers converted to the base cost
Date [tex]\text{(Inventory at } \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{(year-end } \\ \\ \text{ year end cost) } \div \ \ \ \text{cost index) } = \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{ Inventory layers(base year cost) }[/tex]
12/31/20 201000 ÷ 1 = 201000
12/31/20 260400 ÷ 1.05 = 248000
12/31/20 347300 ÷ 1.15 = 302000
12/31/20 350400 ÷ 1.2 = 292000
Inventory Layers converted to cost Ending Inventory DVL cost

A stock has a market price of $25 and a standard deviation of returns of 24 percent. The $25 call option matures in 4 months and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. N(d1) is .555198 and N(d2) is .500096. What is the value of the call option per share of stock
Answer:
$334.38
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of call option
Value of call option = ( N ( [tex]d_{1}[/tex] ) S ) - N ( [tex]d_{2}[/tex] ) K [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]
Where
S = $25
N(d1) = 0.555198
N(d2) = 0.500096
K = 25
r = 2.89%
t = 4/12 = 0.3333
Placing values in the formula
Value of call option = ((0.555198 x $25 ) x $25) - ( 0.500096 x $25 ) x 1.00967891
Value of call option = $346.99875 - $12.62340
Value of call option = $334.37535
Value of call option = $334.38

As you move from job shop towards continuous process: A. Your capital intensity decreases B. Your volume decreases C. Your customization ability decreases D. Your throughput decreases E. None of the above
Answer: C. Your customization ability decreases.
Explanation:
Job Shops are able to customize products and services because they manufacture products on a small scale and usually for individual job orders whereas continuous processing is more large scale and the products are more homogeneous.
As one move from a job shop to a continuous process, they will find that they would be unable to customize products as much as they could before because they would be producing a higher volume of goods and so would not have the time to be customizing the products as much.

Zhang Industries sells a product for $700. Unit sales for May were 400 and each month's sales are expected to exceed the prior month's results by 3%. Zhang pays a sales manager a monthly salary of $3,000 and a commission of 2% of sales. Compute the projected selling expense to be reported on the selling expense budget for the manager for month ended June 30.
a) $8,600.
b) $11,652.
c) $8,652.
d) $5,768.
e) $8,768.
Answer:
Total selling expense= $8,768
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $700
Sales for June in units= 400*1.03= 412
Fixed selling expense= $3,000
Sales commission= 2%
We need to calculate the total commission sales:
Total sales revenue= 700*412= $288,400
Total commission= 0.02*288,400
Total commission= 5,768
Now, the total selling expense:
Total selling expense= 5,768 + 3,000
Total selling expense= $8,768

Total Overhead Assigned
3. Determine the amount of overhead Schell will assign to the Deluxe product line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Total Overhead Assigned
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The activity rate for each cost pool is
Material handling ($2,300) ÷ (50 + 50) = $23.00
Quality Control ($8,763) ÷ ($570 + 700) = $6.90
Machine Maintenance ($14,360) ÷ (3,090 + 4,090) = $2.00
2
Total overhead assigned to the standard floor mat line is
= $23 × 40 + $6.9 × 570 + $2 × 3,090
= $1,150 + $3,933 + $6,180
= $11,263.00
3
Total overhead assigned to deluxe product line
= $23 × 50 + $6.9 × 700 + $2 × 4,090
= $1,150 + $4,830 + $8,180
= $14,160.00

Green Penguin Pencil Company has a total asset turnover ratio of 3.50x, net annual sales of $40 million, and operating expenses of $18 million (including depreciation and amortization). On its balance sheet and income statement, respectively, it reported total debt of $2.50 million on which it pays a 11% interest rate.
To analyze a company's financial leverage situation, you need to measure the firm's debt management ratios. Based on the preceding information, what are the values for Green Penguin Pencil's debt management ratios? The U.S. tax structure influences a firm's willingness to finance with debt. The tax structure debt.
Solution :
a). Asset turnover ratio = total sales / total asset = 3.50
Total asset = 40 million / 3.5 = 1142857
Total debt = 2.50 million
Therefore, the debt ratio = [tex]$\frac{\text{debt}}{\text{total asset}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{2500000}{1142857}$[/tex]
= 2.18
b). Time interest earned ratio = EBIT/Interest
EBIT = net sales - operating expense
= 40,000,000 - 18,000,000
= $ 22,000,000
Interest expense = 10 % x 2,500,000
= $ 250,000
Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/ interest expense
= [tex]$\frac{\$ 22,000,000}{\$250,000}$[/tex]
= 88 times
c). Total equity = total asset - total debt
= 400,000,000 - 2,500,000
= 397,500,000
Money raised from the creditor for each dollar of equity
= 2,500,000/397,500,000
= 6%
Emily and Betsey are economists. Emily thinks that the wealthiest 10 percent of the U.S. population should be taxed a rate higher than the rest of society because they can better afford it. Betsey thinks that everyone should be taxed at the same rate because that is the fairest scenario and the wealthy should not be penalized for their success. In this example, Emily and Betsey:______
Answer: b. have different normative views about tax policy.
Explanation:
Economists follow different theories and principles on how the world should be so most times they will disagree with each other on key issues such as taxation and government intervention in markets.
Emily and Betsy both believe in different taxation policies which means that they have different views on how people should be taxed in an economy with one of them believing in a proportional tax regime (Betsey) and the other believing in a progressive tax regime (Emily).
At a specific point on the demand curve for backpacks, the elasticity of demand is calculated to be -1.6.
a. At that point, we would describe demand as ________.
b. If the price of backpacks fell by 10%, the quantity demanded would rise by ________and revenue for the backpack industry would ______ .
c. If the price of backpacks rose by 20% the quantity demanded would fall by _______ and revenue for the backpack industry would ________.
Answer:
elastic
16%
32%
decrease
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
