Answer:
a. 56%
b. 62%
Explanation:
a. Janitorial costs are allocated based on square feet.
Assembly Department Square feet = 42,560
Total area for both departments = 42,560 + 33,440 = $76,000
Percentage of costs
= 42,560/ 76,000
= 56%
b. Security costs are allocated based on asset value.
Cutting Department Asset Value = $126,480
Total asset value for both departments = 77,520 + 126,480 = $204,000
Percentage of costs
= 126,480/ 204,000
= 62%
A $3.6 million state lottery pays $15,000 at the beginning of each month for 20 years. How much money must the state actually have in hand to set up the payments for this prize if money is worth 5.8%, compounded monthly
Answer:
Present Value= $2,128,538.66
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $15,000
Number of periods= 20*12= 240
Interest rate= 0.058/12= 0.00483
First, we need to calculate the future value of the monthly payments:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV={15,000*[(1.00483^240) - 1]} / 0.00483
FV= $6,765,529.2
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 6,765,529.2 / 1.00483^240
PV= $2,128,538.66
A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A requires a $40 million expenditure on a large-scale integrated plant that would provide expected cash flows of $6.39 million per year for 20 years. Plan B requires a $13 million expenditure to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant with an expected cash flow of $2.91 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 9%.Calculate each project's NPV. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.Plan A $ millionPlan B $ millionCalculate each project's IRR. Round your answer to two decimal places.Plan A %Plan B %Graph the NPV profiles for Plan A and Plan B and approximate the crossover rate to the nearest percent.Calculate the crossover rate where the two projects' NPVs are equal. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.%
Answer:
Project A:
initial outlay -$40 million
cash flows $6.39 million for 20 years
PV of cash flows = $6,390,000 x 9.1285 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 20 periods) = $58,331,115
NPV = -$40,000,000 + $58,331,115 = $18,331,115 ≈ $18.33 million
IRR = 15%
Project B:
initial outlay -$13 million
cash flows $2.91 million for 20 years
PV of cash flows = $2,910,000 x 9.1285 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 20 periods) = $26,563,935
NPV = -$13,000,000 + $26,563,935 = $13,563,935 ≈ $13.56 million
IRR = 22%
Crossover rate = 11.4%
I solved the cross over rate the following way:
project A project B difference
-40 -13 -27
6,39 2,91 3,48
6,39 2,91 3,48

6,39 2,91 3,48
6,39 2,91 3,48
6,39 2,91 3,48
Using a financial calculator or excel spreadsheet, find the IRR of the difference and that is the crossover rate (discount rate at which both projects have the same NPV).

Answer and Explanation:
The annual worth for years 1 through infinity of $50,000 now, $10,000 per year in years 1 through 15, and $20,000 per year in years 16 through infinity at 10% per year is closest to
Answer:
The annual worth of cash flow is $17,394
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Present value = F × (P|F,i,n) + A × (P|A,i,n)
= $50,000 + $10,000 × (P|A,10%,15) + ($20,000 ÷ 0.1) × (P|F,10%,15)
= $50,000 + $10,000 × 7.606 + ($20,000 ÷ 0.1) × 0.2394
= $173,940
Now
Annual Worth is
= P × (A|P,i,n)
= $173,940 × (A|P,10%,infinity)
= $173,940 × 0.1
= $17,394
Hence, the annual worth of cash flow is $17,394

4.
5.
6.
Required: Analyze each transaction. Under each category in the accounting equation, indicate whether the transaction increases, decreases, or has no effect. The first item is provided as an example.
Answer:
2. Increase = Increase + No effect
3. Increase = No effect + Increase
4. Decrease = No effect + Decrease
5. Decrease = No effect + Decrease
6. No effect = No effect + No effect
Explanation:
2. Purchase equipment by signing a note payable.
The double entry to record the purchase of equipment on credit will be as under:
Dr Equipment-Asset XX
Cr Note Payables-Liabilities XX
Hence the Asset will increase and the liabilities will also increase
2. Increase = Increase + No effect
3. Provide services to customers on account.
The double entry to record the provision of services to customers on account will be as under:
Dr Accounts Receivables-Asset XX
Cr Revenue -Stockholder's Equilty XX
Hence the Assets and Stockholder's Equilty of the company will be increased.
3. Increase = No effect + Increase
4. Pay rent for the current month.
The double entry would be:
Dr Rent Expense -Stockholder's Equilty XX
Cr Cash account - Assets XX
Both Assets account and Stockholder's Equilty will be decreased.
4. Decrease = No effect + Decrease
5. Pay insurance for the current month.
The double entry would be as under:
Dr Insurance Expense -Stockholder's Equilty XX
Cr Cash account - Assets XX
Both Assets account and Stockholder's Equilty will be decreased.
5. Decrease = No effect + Decrease
6. Collect cash from customers on account.
The double entry would be as under:
Dr Cash -Assets XX
Cr Accounts Receivables - Assets XX
The net difference is zero hence there will be no difference.
6. No effect = No effect + No effect

Christiansen Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Total Activity Fabrication 70,000 machine-hours Order Processing 500 orders Other Not applicable The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and Salaries $420,000 Depreciation 160,000 Occupancy 200,000 Total $780,000 The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below: Activity Cost Pools Fabrication Order Processing Other Total Wages and Salaries 60% 20% 20% 100% Depreciation 5% 60% 35% 100% Occupancy 25% 50% 25% 100%
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:_______.
A. $312 per order
B. $676 per order
C. $780 per order
D. $560 per order
Answer:
D. $560 per order
Explanation:
For computing the activity rate first determine the total allocation cost which is shown below:
The Total allocation cost is
= Wages & salaries + depreciation + occupancy
= $420,000 × 20% + $160,000 × 60% + $200,000 * 0.50
= $84,000 $96,000 + $$100,000
= $280,000
Now the activity rate is
= $280,000 ÷ 500 orders
= $560 per order
hence, the option D is correct
On January 1, 2021, NFB Visual Aids issued $720,000 of its 20-year, 8% bonds. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. NFB Visual Aids records interest expense at the effective rate and elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $600,000 as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. General (risk-free) interest rates did not change during 2021. (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-a. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021.
1-b to 4. Prepare the necessary Journal entries.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of price of the bonds is shown below:-
Interest on Bond = Bond Face Value × Interest rate × 6 ÷ 12 months
= $720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12
= $28,800
Present Value of interest payments = Interest on bond × PVAF(i%, n)
i = semi annual discounting rate = 10% × 6 ÷ 12
= 5%
n = number of semi annual periods
= 20 years × 2 periods
= 40 periods
Present Value of interest payments = $28,800 × PVAF(5%, 40)
= $28,800 × 17.15909
= $494,182
Present Value of Redemption Value = Redemption Value × PVF(5%, 40)
= $720,000 × 0.142046
= $102,273
Price of Bonds = $494,182 + $102,273
= $596,455
1-b The Journal entries are shown below:-
a. Cash Dr, 596,455
Discount on Bonds Payable Dr, $123,545
To Bonds Payable $720,000
(Being the issuance of bonds is recorded)
b. Interest Expense Dr, $29,823 (596,455 × 10% × 6 ÷ 12)
To Discount on Bonds Payable $1,023
To Cash $28,800 ($720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12)
(Being the first interest payment is recorded)
c. Interest Expense Dr, $29,874 (($596,455 + $1,023) × 10% × 6 ÷ 12)
To Discount on Bonds Payable $1,074
To Cash Dr, $28,800
($720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12)
(To record the second interest payment)
d. Unrealized Holding Loss Dr, 1,448
To Fair Value Adjustment $1,448
(Being adjust the bonds to their fair value is recorded)
Working Notes:
1) Bonds Payable Value after adjusting Discount
= $596,455+$1,023+$1,074
= $598,552
Fair Value of Bonds as on Dec 31 = $600,000
Fair Value adjustment amount is
= $600,000 - $598,552
= $1,448
Executive compensation packages often tie performance to bonus and incentive awards, supplemental retirement packages, perquisites, and severance pay, in order to encourage the management team to align their performance with organizational goals. In an attempt to minimize agency problems in a company (potential conflict of interest between the company's managers and shareholders), attractive compensation packages are created to retain and encourage managers. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the___________ value of the company’s stock price.

Effective versus nominal interest ratesBank A pays 8% interest compounded annually on deposits, while Bank B pays 7% compounded daily. Based on the EAR (or EFF%), which bank should you use?A. You would choose Bank A because its EAR is higher.B. You would choose Bank B because its EAR is higher.C. You would choose Bank A because its nominal interest rate is higher.D. You would choose Bank B because its nominal interest rate is higher.E. You are indifferent between the banks and your decision will be based upon which one offers you a gift for opening an account.Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact that you might want to withdraw your funds during the year as opposed to at the end of the year? Assume that your funds must be left on deposit during an entire compounding period in order to receive any interest.A. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Bank A and 1 day for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a withdrawal during the year, then Bank A might be preferable.If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Bank A and 1 day for Bank B), and you have no intentions of making a withdrawal during the year, then Bank B might be preferable.B. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 day for Bank A and 1 year for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a withdrawal during the year, then Bank B might be preferable.C. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Bank A and 1 day for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a withdrawal during the year, then Bank B might be preferable.D. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 day for Bank A and 1 year for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a withdrawal during the year, then Bank A might be preferable.
Answer:
A. You would choose Bank A because its EAR is higher.
C) If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Bank A and 1 day for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a withdrawal during the year, then Bank B might be preferable.
Explanation:
Effective interest rate(EFF%) or EAR=[ (1+r/n)^n -1]
r= nominal interest rate
n= number of compounding period per year.
For bank A we have 8%
%FF%)=[(1+0.08/1)^1 -1]
= 1.08-1
= 0.08×100
= 8%
For bank B we have 7%
EFF%)=[(1+0.07/365)^365 -1]
= 1.0725-1
= 0.0725×100
= 7.25%
You would choose Bank A because its EAR is higher. i.e bank A has 8% and bank B
7.25 respectively.
.Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact that you might want to withdraw your funds during the year as opposed to at the end of the year?
Yes, it will , because bank B will bring interest every day, so it will be preferable, in the case that the funds is withdrawable during the year and that no interest will be generated.
because for bank A to earn interest you will need to leave the fund there for the whole year incase the fund will remain as deposit for the compounding period for interest sake.

A Corporation sells a single product for $20 per unit. Last year, the company's sales revenue was $300,000 and its net operating income was $24,000. If fixed expenses totaled $96,000 for the year, the break-even point in unit sales was: A) 12,000 units B) 9,900 units C) 15,000 units D) 14,100 units
Answer:
A) 12,000 units
Explanation:
For computing the break even point in units sales first determine the variable cost which is shown below:
= Sales revenue - fixed expenses - net operating income
= $300,000 - $96,000 - $24,000
= $180,000
And, the variable cost per unit is
= $180,000 ÷ ($300,000 ÷ $20)
= $12
Now the break even point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $96,000 ÷ ($20 - $12)
= 12,000 units
In this exercise, decisions will be made in ethically ambiguous situations and then analyzed. As in the real world, all the background information on each situation will not be available, and assumptions will need to be made.It is recommended that the exercise be completed before reading the following mat e rial, and then revisited after you have completed the chapter.Name:Date:Part ISTEP 1Make decisions in the following situations. You will not have all the background information about each situation; instead you should make whatever assumptions you feel you would make if you were actually confronted with the decision choices described. Select the decision choice that most closely represents the decision you feel you would make personally. You should choose decision choices even though you can envision other creative solutions that were not included in the exercise.Situation 1. You are taking a very difficult chemistry course, which you must pass to maintain your scholarship and to avoid damaging your application for graduate school. Chemistry is not your strong suit, and because of a just-below-failing average in the course, you must receive a grade of 90 or better in the final examination, which is 2 days away. A janitor who is aware of your plight informs you that he found the master copy of the chemistry final in a trash barrel and saved it. He will make it available to you for a price, which is high, but which you could afford. What would you do?(a) I would tell the janitor thanks, but no thanks.(b) I would report the janitor to the proper officials.(c) I would buy the examination and keep it to myself.(d) I would not buy the examination myself, but I would let some of my friends, who are also flunking the course, know that it is available.
Situation 2. You have been working on some complex analytical data for 2 days now. It seems that each time you think you have them completed, your boss shows up with a new assumption or another "what if" question. If you only had a copy of a new software program for your personal computer, you could plug in the new assumptions and revise the estimates with ease.Then a colleague offers to let you make a copy of some software that is copyrighted. What would you do?(a) I would readily accept my friend’s generous offer and make a copy of the software.(b) I would decline to copy it and plug away manually on the numbers.(c) I would decide to go buy a copy of the software myself for $300 and hope I would be reimbursed by the company in a month or two.(d) I would request another extension on an already overdue project date.Situation 3. Your small manufacturing company is in serious financial difficulty. A large order of your products is ready to be delivered to a key customer, when you discover that the product is simply not right. It will not meet all performance specifications, will cause problems for your customer, and will require rework in the field; but this, you know, will not become evident until after the customer has received and paid for the order. If you do not ship the order and receive the payment as expected, your business may be forced into bankruptcy. And if you delay the shipment or inform the customer of these problems, you may lose the order and also go bankrupt. What would you do?(a) I would not ship the order and place my firm in voluntary bankruptcy.(b) I would inform the customer and declare voluntary bankruptcy.
(c) I would ship the order and inform the customer after I received payment.(d) I would ship the order and not inform the customer.
Answer and Explanation:
Situation 1: a) I would tell the janitor thanks, but no thanks. It would be wrong to cheat in the exam.
Situation 2:(c) I would decide to go buy a copy of the software myself for $300 and hope I would be reimbursed by the company in a month or two. Getting a copy of the software for the price would guarantee that are no copyright infringement problems which would affect the company and my job as well. Management would be happy at my dedication as I am willing to go an extra mile for the company and would likely reimburse me for expenses
situation 3: (b) I would inform the customer and declare voluntary bankruptcy. It is important that I inform the customer and let him know why the shipment didn't go through. Customers appreciate honesty and trustworthiness of sellers. He may be willing to help the company not declare bankruptcy by ordering anyways. However it is more important to not cheat the customer than it is for business to go bankrupt.

g Jefferson & Sons purchase $5,000 of merchandise from the Claremont Company with terms of 3/10, n/30. How much discount is Jefferson & Sons entitled to take if it pays within the allowed discount period of 10 days
Answer:
Discount Received = $150
Explanation:
The terms of the purchase of inventory are 3/10, n/30 which means that Jefferson & Sons can avail a discount of 3% if they pay within the 10 days of purchase of merchandise and the total time allowed for payment for merchandise is 30 days.
If the payment is made within the discount period, Jefferson can avail a discount of,
Discount Received = 5000 * 3%
Discount Received = $150
We would like to invest $10,000 into shares of companies XX and YY.
Shares of XX cost $20 per share. The market analysis shows that their expected return is $1 per share with a standard deviation of $0.5.
Shares of YY cost $50 per share, with an expected return of $2.50 and a standard deviation of $1 per share.
Returns from the two companies are independent. In order to maximize the expected return and minimize the risk (standard deviation or variance), is it better to invest
a. All $10,000 into XX
b. All $10,000 into YY
c. $5,000 into each company
Answer:
c. $5,000 into each company
Explanation:
Let X be the actual (random) return from each share of XX, and Y be the actual return from each share of YY. Computing the returns from each option:
A) Investing $10,000 into XX
Given that variance = (standard deviation)²
Since XX cost $20 per share, only 500 shares can be bought.
Expected value = 500 * E(x) = 500 * 1 = 500
Variance = 500² * Var(x) = 500² * 0.5² = 62500
B) Investing $10,000 into YY
Since YY cost $50 per share, only 200 shares can be bought.
Expected value = 200 * E(y) = 200 * 2.5 = 500
Variance = 200² * Var(y) = 200² * 1² = 40000
C) Investing $5,000 into each company
Since XX cost $20 per share and YY cost $50 per share, only 250 shares of XX and 100 shares of YY can be bought.
Expected value = 250 * E(x) + 100 * E(y) = 250 * 1 + 100 * 2.5 = 500
Variance = 250² * Var(x) + 100² * Var(y) = 250² * 0.5² + 100² * 1 = 25625
Since all options have the same expected return, but option C has the lowest variance hence it is the least riskiest. So the best option is C

Ratio of current assets to current liabilities = 1.90:1
Acid -test ratio = 1.70:1
Therefore, current liabilities = $1,400,000/1.9 = $737,000
Current Assets minus Inventory/$737,000 = 1.7
Therefore, current assets minus inventory = $737,000 * 1.7 = 1,253,000
Inventory = Current Assets - (Current assets -inventory)
= $1,400,000 - $1,253,000

You just deposited $3,000 in a bank account that pays a 4.0% nominal interest rate, compounded quarterly. If you also add another $5,000 to the account one year (4 quarters) from now and another $7,500 to the account two years (8 quarters) from now, how much will be in the account three years (12 quarters) from now
Answer:
Total FV= $16,599.29
Explanation:
We will calculate each investment separately, and then the total future value.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Deposit 1:
PV= 3,000
n= 12
i= 0.04/4= 0.01
FV= 3,000*(1.01^12)
FV= $3,380.48
Deposit 2:
PV= $5,000
n= 8
i= 0.01
FV= 5,000*(1.01^8)
FV= $5,414.28
Deposit 3:
FV= 7,500*(1.01^4)
FV= $7,804.53
Total FV= $16,599.29
Which of the following statements about the operation of a C corporation is correct?
You hit the lottery! You get offered $10 million now or $1 million a year for 13 years. Assume a 3 percent interest rate. Which would you choose and why
Answer:
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million
Explanation:
To determine which option i would choose, i have to calculate the present value of the second option
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 13 = $1 million
I = 3%
Present value = $10,634,955
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million - $10,634,955 > $10,000,000
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Option 2 should be considered since it contains more amount of present value as compared to option 1.
Calculation of the present value:
In option 1, it offered $10 million or $10,000,000
While in option 2, the interest rate is 3% and the time period is 13 years Also, the payment is $1 million
So here we need to determine the present value
PV = PMT x (1 - (1+i)-n / i )
PV = 1,000,000 x (1 - (1+0.03)-13 / 0.03 )
PV = 10,634,955.33
Based on this, the option 2 should be considered.
