Answer:
Gain of $2,780
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The company will record If it is sold for $32,000 exactly two years after it is purchased
First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation expense using this formula
Annual depreciation expense = (Cost − Residual value) × (1 ÷ Useful life)
Let plug in the formula
Annual depreciation expense = ($44,700 − $6,000) × (1 ÷ 5)
Annual depreciation expense =$38,700× (1 ÷ 5)
Annual depreciation expense =$ 7,740
Second step is to calculate the Accumulated depreciation using this formula
Accumulated depreciation = Year 1 depreciation expense + Year 2 depreciation expense
Let plug in the formula
Accumulated depreciation = $7,740 +$7,740
Accumulated depreciation = $15,480
Now let calculate the Gain (loss) on disposal
Using this formula
Gain (loss) on disposal = Proceeds from sale − (Cost − Accumulated Depreciation at time of sale)
Let plug in the formula
Gain (loss) on disposal = $32,000 − ($44,700 − $15,480)
Gain (loss) on disposal =$32,000-$29,220
Gain (loss) on disposal=$2,780
Therefore If it is sold for $32,000 exactly two years after it is purchased, the company will record a GAIN of $2,780

U.S. Steel is considering a plant expansion to produce austenitic, precipitation hardened, duplex, and martensitic stainless steel round bars that is expected to cost $13 million now and another $10 million 1 year from now. If total operating costs will be $1.2 million per year starting 1 year from now, and the estimated salvage value of the plant is virtually zero, how much must the company make annually in years 1 through 10 to recover its investment plus a return of 15% per year
Answer:
$5.5228 million
Or
$5,522,800
Explanation:
First, calculate the present value of all cash outflows
Present value of cash outflow = Initial Cost + ( Year 1 cost x Discount factor 15%, 1 year ) + ( Annual Cost x Annuity factor 15%, 10 years )
Where
Initial cost = $13 million
Year 1 cost = $10 million
Discount factor 15%, 1 year = 1 / ( 1 + 15% )^1 = 0.8696
Annual Cost = $1.2 million
Annuity factor 15%, 10 years = 1 - ( 1 + 15% )^-10 / 15% = 5.019
Placing value sin the formula
Present value of cash outflow = $13 million + ( $10 million x 0.8696 ) + ( $1.2 million x 5.019 )
Present value of cash outflow = $13 million + $8.696 million + $6.0228 million
Present value of cash outflow = $27.7188 million
Now use the following formula to calculate the annual revenue required to recover its investment plus a return of 15% per year
Present value of Annual revenue = Annual Revenue x Annuity factor 15%, 10 years
Annual Revenue = Present value of Annual revenue / Annuity factor 15%, 10 years
Where
Present value of Annual revenue = $27.7188 million
Annuity factor 15%, 10 years = 1 - ( 1 + 15% )^-10 / 15% = 5.019
Placing value sin the formula
Annual Revenue = $27.7188 million / 5.019
Annual Revenue = $5.5228 million
Annual Revenue = $5,522,800

Pick the correct statement related to net working capital from below. Multiple Choice Net working capital can be ignored in project analysis because any expenditure is normally recouped at the end of the project. Net working capital requirements, such as an increase in accounts receivable, create a cash inflow at the beginning of a project. Net working capital is rarely affected when a new product is introduced. Net working capital can create either an initial cash inflow or outflow. Net working capital is the only expenditure where at least a partial recovery can be made at the end of a project.
Answer:
Net working capital is the only expenditure where at least a partial recovery can be made at the end of a project.
Explanation:
Net working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Net working capital measures a company's liquidity.
In project analysis, net working capital is part of the cost. It is usually subtracted from cash inflows.
Net working capital is a cash outflow.
Net working capital is the only expenditure where at least a partial recovery can be made at the end of a project.
Tora Co. plans to produce 1,020 units in July. Each unit requires two hours of direct labor. The direct labor rate is $20 per hour. Prepare a direct labor budget for July.\
Answer: $40,800
Explanation:
Each unit requires 2 hours of direct labor.
1,020 units would therefore require:
= 1,020 * 2
= 2,040 hours of labor
The direct labor rate is $20 per hour. If there are 2,040 hours to be worked, the cost would therefore be:
= 20 * 2,040
= $40,800
Using all of their resources, Company A can make either 100 computers or 50 cell phones while Company B can make either 200 computers or 150 cell phones. If both companies have the same quantity of resources, then ________ has an absolute advantage in computers while ________ has a comparative advantage in cell phones.
Answer:
company B
company B
Explanation:
A company has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other companies.
Opportunity cost of producing cell phones
company A = 100 / 50 = 2
company B = 200 / 150 = 1.3
The opportunity cost of company B is lower than that of company A. Company B has a comparative advantage in the production of cell phones
A company has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries
Company B produces 200 computers while company A produces 100 computer. Company B has an absolute advantage in the production of computers

A company issues bonds at par on April 1. These 9% bonds have a par value of $100,000 and pay interest annually. April 1,is four months after the most recent interest payment date. How much total cash interest is received on April 1 by the bond issuer
Answer: $3000
Explanation:
From the information given, we are told that a company issues bonds at par on April 1 and that these 9% bonds have a par value of $100,000 and pay interest annually. April 1,is four months after the most recent interest payment date.
The total cash interest that is received on April 1 by the bond issuer will be:
= $100000 × 9% × 4/12
= $100,000 x 0.09 x ⅓
= $3,000
Mavs Inc. wishes to determine its cost of common stock equity, rs. The market price, P0, of its common stock is $40.07 per share. The firm expects to pay a dividend, D1, of $4.20 at the end of the coming year, 2021. The dividends paid on the outstanding stock over the past 6 years (2015â2020) were as follows:
2015 $3.60
2016 3.65
2017 3.70
2018 3.85
2019 4.00
2020 4.10
What is the cost of common stock equity financing?
Answer:
13.12%
Explanation:
Using the Gordon growth rate model, the cost of common stock equity can be determined using the formula below:
cost of common equity=expected dividend/current market price+growth rate
expected dividend=dividend in a year's time=D1= $4.20
current market price=P0=$40.07
The growth rate of the dividend can be ascertained by using the future value below:
FV=PV*(1+g)^n
FV=2020 dividend=$4.10
PV=2015 dividend=$3.60
g=growth rate=unknown
n=numbr of years between 2015 and 2020=5(dividend has grown for only 5 years not 6 years)
$4.10=$3.60*(1+g)^5
$4.10/$3.60=(1+g)^5
$4.10/$3.60 can be rewritten thus($4.10/$3.60)^1
($4.10/$3.60)^1=(1+g)^5
divide indexes on both sides by 5
($4.10/$3.60)^(1/5)=1+g
g=($4.10/$3.60)^(1/5)-1
g=2.64%
cost of common equity=($4.20/$40.07)+2.64%
cost of common equity=13.12%

The Diamond Outlet has current earnings per share of $1.96 and an expected earnings growth rate of 2.2 percent. The required return on the stock is 13 percent and the current book value per share is $12.70. What is the current market value of this stock
Answer:
the current market value of this stock is $15.96
Explanation:
given
current earnings = $1.96 per share
growth rate = 2.2 percent
return on the stock = 13 percent
current book value = $12.70 per share
solution
first we get here return on equity that is
return on equity = [ current earning per share × ( 1 + growth ) ] ÷ book value per share ....................1
return on equity = [tex]\frac{1.96 + (1+0.022)}{12.70}[/tex]
return on equity =15.77 %
and
now we get here payout ration that is
growth rate = retention ration × ROE ....................2
put here value
2.2% = (1 - payout ratio ) × 15.77
payout ratio = 86.05 %
and
now we get here current dividend per share that is
current dividend per share = current earning per share × payout ratio ...........3
put here value
current dividend per share = 1.96 × 86.05 %
current dividend per share = $1.6865
and
now we get here current market value
current market value = [ current dividend per share × ( 1 + growth ) ] ÷ [ required return - growth rate] ....................1
current market value = [Text]\frac{1.6865 \times (1+0.022)}{0.13-0.022}[text]
current market value = [tex]\frac{1.6865 \times (1+0.022)}{0.13-0.022}[/tex]
current market value = $15.96

Under the aging of receivables method, Crimson Inc. expects it will not collect 5% of the amount not yet due, 19% of the amount past due for up to 180 days, and 28% of the amount past due for more than 180 days. The allowance account had a debit balance of $2,800 before adjustment. After adjusting for bad debt expense, what is the ending balance of the allowance account
Answer:
$83,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the allowance account is given below:
Given that
Accounts receivable not yet due be $500,000
So, the bad debt for the same should be
= 5% of $500,000
= $25,000
Accounts receivable due for upto 180 days be $180,000
So, the bad debts for the same should be
= 19% of $180,000
= $34,200
Accounts recievable due for more than 180 days be $75,000
So, the bad debts for the same should be
= 28% of $75,000
= $21,000
Now
Ending balance of Allowance aoount is
= $2,800 + $25,000 + $34,200 + $21,000
= $83,000

Answer:
a. We have:
Year 2 asset turnover = 1.3 times
Year 1 asset turnover = 1.0 time
b. Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The ABC Depot reported the following data (in millions) in its recent financial statements:
Year 2 Year 1
Sales $86,060 $74,200
Total assets at the end of the year 63,800 68,600
Total assets at the beginning of the year 68,600 79,800
a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.
b. What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.
The asset turnover can be calculated using the following formula:
Asset turnover = Sales / Average total assets ………………… (1)
Where:
Average total assets = (Total assets at the beginning of the year + Total assets at the end of the year) / 2
Using equation (1), we therefore have:
Year 2 asset turnover = $86,060 / (($68,600 + $63,800) / 2) = 1.3 times
Year 1 asset turnover = $74,200 / (($79,800 +$ 68,600) / 2) = 1.0 time
b. What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?
A higher asset turnover indicates that a company is using its assets to generate sales more effectively.
Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.

Compound value solving for n) How many years will the following take? a. $ to grow to $ if invested at percent compounded annually b. $ to grow to $ if invested at percent compounded annually c. $ to grow to $ if invested at percent compounded annually d. $ to grow to $ if invested at percent compounded annually
Answer:
Note: The complete question is attached below as picture
A = P(1+r/100)^n Where A is future value, P is present value, r is rate of interest and n is time period
1. A = P(1+r/100)^n
1042.51 = 480(1.09)^n
(1042.51/480) = 1.09^n
Taking log on both sides
log(1042.51/480) = n*log 1.09
n = log(1042.51/480)/log 1.09
n = 9 years.
2. A = P(1+r/100)^n
53.26 = 31(1.07)^n
(53.26/31) = 1.07^n
Taking log on both sides
log(53.26/31) = n*log 1.07
n = log(53.26/31)/log 1.07
n = 8 years
3. A = P(1+r/100)^n
383.59 = 100(1.13)^n
(383.59/100) = 1.13^n
Taking log on both sides
log(383.59/100) = n*log 1.13
n = log(383.59/100)/log 1.13
n = 11 years.
4. A = P(1+r/100)^n
66.91 = 53(1.06)^n
(66.91/53) = 1.06^n
Taking log on both sides
log(66.91/53) = n*log 1.06
n = log(66.91/53)/log 1.06
n = 0.10121516027 / 0.025306
n = 3.9997
n = 4 years.
Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 26 percent for the next 3 years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 14 percent and the company just paid a $1.90 dividend. what is the current share price
Answer:
$46.20
Explanation:
Dividend in year 1 = 1.90 x 1.26 = 2.39
Dividend in year 2 = 1.90 x 1.26² = 3.02
Dividend in year 3 = 1.90 x 1.26³ = 3.80
Dividend in year 3 = (3.80 x 1.07) / (0.14 - 0.07) = 58.10
Calculate the present value of these dividends
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = 2.39
Cash flow in year 1 = 3.02
Cash flow in year 1 = 3.80 + 58.10
I = 14
PV = $46.20

A firm operated at 80% of capacity for the past year, during which fixed costs were $198,000, variable costs were 66% of sales, and sales were $1,082,000. Operating profit was a.$367,880 b.$714,120 c.$169,880 d.$135,904
Answer: $169,880
Explanation:
Operating profit for a company is simply its sales less its fixed costs and variable costs:
Operating profit = Sales revenue - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Variable costs:
= 66% * 1,082,000
= $714,120
Operating profit:
= 1,082,000 - 714,120 - 198,000
= $169,880

Terry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $460 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 34 cents per mile. Terry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 2,000 miles per month. Required: a. How much cost would Terry expect to incur during July if he drove the car 1,534 miles
Answer:
Total cost= $984.62
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $460
Unitary variable cost= $0.34 per mile
Miles driven= 1,534
First, we need to establish the total cost formula:
Total cost= fixed cost + unitary variable cost*number of units
Total cost= 460 + 0.34*x
x= number of miles
Now, the total cost for the month:
Total cost= 460 + 0.34*1,543
Total cost= $984.62
A company's managers should almost always give serious consideration to making significant adjustments in its camera/drone strategies and competitive approaches when:
a. all or most of its competitors are using mostly different competitive approaches and therefore the marketplace is not big enough to accommodate all of the competitors.
b. all or most of its competitors are using mostly copycat competitive approaches that make it difficult for any of these companies to capture sales volumes and revenues big enough to earn profits large enough to meet investor-expected EPS, ROE, and stock price appreciation targets.
c. the number of camera and drone workstations the company has installed is NOT well above the industry-averages (as reported on pages 6 and 7 of the most recent Camera & Drone Journal).
d. the company's market share for action cameras has not been the largest for two straight years and when its EPS and ROE have also not been the highest in the industry for two straight years.
e. the company's operating profits per action camera sold are not substantially above the industry-average benchmarks in at least three geographic regions (as reported on p. 6 of the most recent Camera & Drone Journal),
Answer:
Hence the correct option is option b - All are most of its competitors are using mostly copycat competitive approaches that make it difficult for any of these companies to capture sales volumes and revenues big enough to earn profits large enough to meet investor expected EPS, ROE, and stock price appreciation targets.
Explanation:
A company's management should nearly always give serious consideration to creating significant adjustments in its camera or drawn strategies and competitive approaches when all or most of its competitors are using mostly copycat competitive approaches that make it difficult for any of those companies to capture sales volumes and revenues large enough to earn profits large enough to satisfy investor expected EPS ROE and stock price appreciation targets.
The correct option for the given question is "all or most of its competitors are using mostly copycat competitive approaches that make it difficult for any of these companies to capture sales volumes and revenues big enough to earn profits large enough to meet investor-expected EPS, ROE, and stock price appreciation targets."
What is camera/drone strategies?The camera/drone strategy involves the strategic approach of a company in which the company overlooks its competitors, their market, and strategies and modify its strategies accordingly.
If the competitors are using copycat competitive approaches and hence are making it difficult for the company to achieve sales volume and revenue and the expectations of the companies' investors regarding the EPS, ROE and stock price appreciation are difficult to meet, the company should consider its camera/drone strategies and competitive approaches.
Therefore the correct option is b.

As the operations manager, you prefer to keep a constant workforce and production level, absorbing variations in demand through inventory excesses and shortages. Demand not met is carried over to the following month. Assuming you currently have 23 workers, what is the shortage cost for May
Answer:
Shortage cost for May is $71,000
Explanation:
The expected demand for the month of May is 5000 units.
Shortages for month are carried to next month.
Shortage cost is $10 per month.
(Working days per month x hrs/day x # of workers)
20 days * 8 hours * 23 workers = 3680
Jan : 3680 - 3500 = +180
Feb : 3680 + 180 - 4500 = -640
Mar : 3680 - 640 -6000 = -2980
Apr : 3680 - 2980 -6500 = 5780
May : 3680 - 5780 -5000 = 7100
