Answer:
Increase by $6,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net operating income
Using this formula
Net operating income=Expected sales increase ×Contribution margin ratio-Fixed expenses
Let plug in the formula
Net operating income=$70,000 x 30% - $15,000
Net operating income=$21,000-$15,000
Net operating income=$6,000 increase
Therefore the net operating income will increase by $6,000

Management at the Flagstaff Company currently sells its products for $250 per unit and is contemplating a 40% increase in the selling price for the next year. Variable costs are currently 30% of sales revenue and are not expected to change in dollar amount on a per unit basis next year (the company will still pay the same variable cost per unit). Fixed expenses are $120,000 per year. If fixed costs were to decrease 10% during the current year and the new selling price goes into effect, how many units will need to be sold to breakeven
Answer:
393 units will need to be sold to breakeven
Explanation:
Break even point is the point where a Company makes neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Step 1 : Calculate new variables
New Sales = $250 x 1.40 = $350
Variable Costs = $250 x 30 % = $75
New Fixed Costs = $120,000 x 90 % = $108,000
Step 2 : Break even (units)
Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
= $108,000 ÷ ($350 - $75)
= 393 units
Thus, 393 units will need to be sold to breakeven
In 2013, Chirac Enterprises issued, at par, 75 $1,060, 8% bonds, each convertible into 200 shares of common stock. Chirac had revenues of $19,100 and expenses other than interest and taxes of $8,860 for 2014. (Assume that the tax rate is 40%.) Throughout 2014, 2,530 shares of common stock were outstanding; none of the bonds was converted or redeemed.(a) Compute diluted earnings per share for 2014. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)(b) Assume the same facts as those assumed for part (a), except that the 75 bonds were issued on September 1, 2014 (rather than in 2013), and none have been converted or redeemed. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)(c) Assume the same facts as assumed for part (a), except that 25 of the 75 bonds were actually converted on July 1, 2014. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)
Answer:
Chirac Enterprises
a) Diluted EPS = $0. 35
b) Diluted EPS = $0. 35
c) Diluted EPS = $0. 35
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Issued at par 75 $1,060, 8% bonds = $70,000 Bonds Premium $9,500
Each of the 75 bonds are convertible into 200 shares = 15,000 (75 * 200) shares
2014 Revenue $19,100
2014 expenses 8,860
Pre-tax income $10,240
Tax (40%) 4,096
Net income $6,144
Ordinary EPS = $2.43 per share ($6,144/2,530)
Common shares = 2,530
Convertible bonds shares = 15,000
Total shares = 17,530
Diluted EPS = $0. 35 ($6,144/17,530) per share
b) The basic assumption for computing diluted earnings per share is that Chirac's earnings are expressed per share (EPS) as if all convertible securities were exercised. This implies that whether the bonds had been converted or not, the number of the shares used for calculating diluted earnings per share will remain the same in these scenarios.
Which of the following will not create minimum contacts in a state sufficient to find personal jurisdiction on an out-of-state defendant? Group of answer choices A company maintains no physical office within a state and does not send sales personnel in to conduct business, but it target advertises in the forum state, providing special products and discounts for the forum state's residents. A company maintains an office in the forum state that is manned once a week by employees. A company sends sales personnel into the forum state to conduct business but does not maintain an office within the forum state. A company maintains a website that provides information about its products and that provides an address or number that a customer can contact to obtain an order form to purchase products directly from the company.
Answer: A company maintains a website that provides information about its products and that provides an address or number that a customer can contact to obtain an order form to purchase products directly from the company.
Explanation:
With different states having varying laws but yet still sharing a lot of business interests, it is important that the states know when they can have jurisdiction over a person.
Minimum contacts is the solution and is used to determine whether an entity has sufficient contacts in a state to warrant jurisdiction over them.
Simply having a website that can be accessed by people in a state does not fall under the provisions required for minimum contact to be met so the courts in this state cannot have personal jurisdiction over this company.
8) Healthy Foods just paid its annual dividend of $1.62 a share. The firm recently 8) announced that all future dividends will be increased by 2.1 percent annually. What is one share of this stock worth to you if you require a rate of return of 15.7 percent
Answer:
$12.16
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is one share of this stock worth to you if you require a rate of return of 15.7 percent
P0 = ($1.62 × 1.021)/(.157-.021)
P0 =1.65402/.136
P0 = $12.16
Therefore what one share of this stock will be worth to you if you require a rate of return of 15.7 percent will be $12.16

Less Cost of Sales ($347,480)
Gross Profit $2,454,240
Less Expenses :
Operating Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses ($170,000)
Operating Profit $2,284,240
Less Non-Operating Expenses
Interest expenses ($30,000)
Net Income before Income taxes $2,254,240
Income tax expense ($676,272)
Net Income after Interest and tax $1,577,968
Explanation:
For a manufacturing firm, the cost of goods manufactured automatically becomes the cost of goods sold.
The first step is to calculate units of Raw Materials used. The difference in raw material inventories provides this amount as :
Units of Raw Materials used = 15,380 pounds - 10,270 pounds = 5,110 pounds
Remember a Multi-step Income Statement separates Profit generated from Primary Activities (Operating Profit) of the firm and those from Secondary Activities Activities (Net Income) as shown above.
Assume you are using the dividend growth model to value stocks. If you expect the inflation rate to increase, you should also expect: A. market value of all stocks to decrease, all else equal. B. market value of all stocks to remain constant as the dividend growth will offset the increase in inflation. C. stocks that do not pay dividends to decrease in price while dividend paying stocks maintain a constant price.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = interest rate
g = growth rate
Interest rate used is usually nominal, thus, it increases with inflation rate
We can see that the interest rate is an inverse function of the value, thus when inflation increases, interest rate increases and price declines
Example
d1 = 5
r = 10%
g = 5%
5/ (0.1 - 0,05) = 100
when interest rate increases to 20% as a result of inflation, value becomes
5 / 0.2 - 0.05 = 33.33
value decreased with increase in inflation
In 2020, Bertha Jarow had a $28,000 loss from the sale of a personal residence. She also purchased from an individual inventor for $7,000 (and resold in two months for $18,000) a patent on a rubber bonding process. The patent had not yet been reduced to practice. Bertha purchased the patent as an investment. In addition, she had the following capital gains and losses from stock transactions:
Long-term capital loss ($6,000)
Long-term capital loss carryover from 2019 (12,000)
Short-term capital gain 21,000
Short-term capital loss (7,000)
A. Bertha has a net long-term capital loss of $___. Bertha has a net short-term capital gain of $ 14000. As a result, Bertha has an overall net short-term capital gain of $___.
B. Complete the letter to Bertha explaining the tax treatment of the sale of her personal residence. Assume Bertha's income from other sources puts her in the 28% bracket.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The net long term capital loss would be $7,000
And, the net short term capital gain would be $14,000 ($21,000 - $7,000)
So as a result the overall net short term capital gain is $7,000
b. Since there is a loss arise from the personal residence of $28,000 so the blank would be filled by the amount i.e. $28,000 and the rest of the things would be alright.
Uptown Bank provides lockbox services. They estimate that you can reduce your average mail time by 2.2 days and your combined clearing and processing time by .75 days by implementing their system. Your firm receives 65 checks a day with an average value of $298 each. The current T-Bill rate is .01 percent per day. Assume a 365-day year. The bank will charge your firm $.15 per check. What is the annual net savings from installing this system?
Answer: $1473.067
Explanation:
First, we calculate the total time that's saved by the firm when it installs the lockbox services. This will be:
= 2.2 days + 0.75 days
= 2.95 days
Then, the gross amount that the firm will save will be:
= 65 × 2.95 × 298 × 0.01%
= $5.7142 per day
Since the bank charges the firm $0.15 per check and the firm receives 65 checks per day, the total cost to the firm will then be:
= 65 × $0.15
= $9.75 per day
The net loss will then be calculated as:
= $9.75 - $5.7142
= $4.0358 per day
Then, to get that for annual, we multiply the above value by 365. This will be:
= $4.0358 × 365
= $1473.067 per annum.
Ring Me Up Inc. has net income of $143,100 for the year ended December 31, 2019. At the beginning of the year, 36,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. On May 1, an additional 18,000 shares were issued. On December 1, the company purchased 4,300 shares of its own common stock and held them as treasury stock until the end of the year. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. During the year, Ring Me Up paid the annual dividend on the 9,000 shares of 4.65%, $100 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year.
Required:
Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Answer:
$2.13
Explanation:
Computation what the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be
Using this formula
Basic earnings per share = Net income - preferred dividends / Weighted average no of shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Basic earnings per share = $143,100 - (9,000*4.65%*100) / (36,000*12/12)+(18,000*8/12) - (4,300*1/12)
Basic earnings per share = $143,100 - 41,850 / 36,000+12,000 - 358
Basic earnings per share = 101,250 / 47,642
Basic earnings per share =$2.13
Therefore the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be $2.13

Ataxia Fitness Center is considering an investment in some additional weight training equipment. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 10 years with no salvage value at the end of the 10 years. Ataxia's internal rate of return on this equipment is 8%. Ataxia's discount rate is also 8%. The payback period on this equipment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
6.71 years
Explanation:
we need to determine the PVIFA for 8% and 10 periods:
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + i)n ] / i
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.08)¹⁰ ] / 0.08 = 0.5368 / 0.08 = 6.71
Ataxia's payback period should be 6.71 years or less in order for this project to be feasible and accepted.
Calculate the required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises assuming that investors expect a 5.0% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 1.5%, and the market risk premium is 5.0%. Mudd has a beta of 1.5, and its realized rate of return has averaged 13.5% over the past 5 years. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
r of Mudd = 14.00%
Explanation:
The required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The equation is as follows,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the market risk premiumWe know the beta for Mudd and we also know the market risk premium. We will need to calculate the risk free rate.
Risk free rate = Real risk free rate + expected inflation rate
Risk free rate = 1.5% + 5%
Risk free rate = 6.5%
r of Mudd = 6.5% + 1.5 * 5%
r of Mudd = 14.00%

The Fabricating Department started the current month with a beginning Work in Process inventory of $11,600. During the month, it was assigned the following costs: direct materials, $77,600; direct labor, $25,600; and factory overhead, 80% of direct labor cost. Also, inventory with a cost of $117,000 was transferred out of the department to the next phase in the process. The ending balance of the Work in Process Inventory account for the Fabricating Department is:
Answer: $18,280
Explanation:
Ending inventory for fabricating department = Beginning Work in Process + Direct materials + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Inventory transferred out of department
= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + (80% * 25,600) - 117,000
= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + 20,480 - 117,000
= $18,280
. A building owner charges net rent of $20 in the first year, $21 in the second year, and $22 in the third year, but is providing six months of free rent in the first year as a concession. Using a 10 percent discount rate, what is the effective rent over the three years
Answer: $17.28
Explanation:
6 month free concession in first year drops rent to:
= 20 / 2
= $10
Effective rent = [Present value of Year 1 rent + Present value of Year 2 rent + Present value of Year 3 rent ] / [ 1 - (1 / (1 + rate)^ number of years) / rate]
= [(10 / (1 + 10%) ) + (21 / (1 + 10%)²) + (22 / (1 + 10%)³)] * [1 - (1 / (1 + 10%)³/ 10%)]
= (9.09 + 17.355 + 16.5289) / 2.48685
= $17.28

Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $1,152,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 72,000 machine-hours.During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company's warehouse. The company's cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:,Machine-hours 67,000Manufacturing overhead cost $551,000 Inventories at year-end: Raw materials $13,000 Work in process (includes overhead applied of $37,520) $139,300 Finished goods (includes overhead applied of $101,840) $378,100 Cost of goods sold (includes overhead applied of $396, 640) $1,472,600Required: 1. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead. 2. Assume that the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. 3. Assume that the company allocates any underapplied or over appliedoverhead proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. 4. How much higher or lower will net operating income be if the underapplied or overapplied overhead is allocated to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold rather than being closed to Cost of Goods Sold?
Answer:
Answer:
1. Overhead over applied= $521,000
2. Factory Overhead Dr. $ 521,000
Cost Of Goods Sold Cr. $ 521,000
3. Work in Process, (ratio) $521,000 * 7%= 36,470
Finished Goods, $521,000 * 19%= 98,990
Cost of Goods Sold $521,000 * 74%= 385,540
Total $521,000 100%
4. Difference between the two CGS= $ 136,060
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead Costs $1,152,000
Estimated activity level of 72,000 machine-hours
Overhead rate= $ 1152,000/ 72,000= $ 16 per hour
Manufacturing overhead cost $551,000
Actual hours = 67,000
Overhead applied to WIP = 67,000 * 16= $ 1072,000
Overhead over applied= $ 1072,000 - $551000= $521,000
Part 2:
Factory Overhead Dr. $ 521,000
Cost Of Goods Sold Cr. $ 521,000
The Cost of Goods Sold is credited and Factory overhead is debited.
Part 3:
Suppose the overhead is applied in the following ratio
Work in Process, (ratio) $37,520 7% (37520/536,00*100%)
Finished Goods, $101,840 19% (101840/536,00*100%)
Cost of Goods Sold $396, 640 74% (396,640/536,00*100%)
Total $536,000 100%
The overhead over applied would be allocated in the following way applying the same ratio as determined above.
Work in Process, (ratio) $521,000 * 7%= 36,470
Finished Goods, $521,000 * 19%= 98,990
Cost of Goods Sold $521,000 * 74%= 385,540
Total $521,000 100%
Part 4:
Cost of Goods Sold ( overhead applied of $396, 640) $1,472,600
Less Overhead overapplied $ 521,000
CGS = $ 951,000
Cost of Goods Sold (overhead applied to WIP & FG) $1,472,600
Less Overapplied Overhead $ 385,540
CGS= $ 1087,060
Difference between the two CGS = $ 1087,060- $ 951,000= $ 136,060

b. $1.79 $1.49
c. $2.00 $1.49
d. $2.00 $1.60
Answer:
d. $2.00 $1.60
Explanation:
The unit production costs for July are calculated as
Total Cost Calculation
Materials = $6400 + $54000 = $60,400
Conversion Costs = $2600 + $35000 = $37,600

A mining company is evaluating when to open a gold mine. The mine has 100,000 ounces of gold left that can be mined and mining operations will produce 10,000 ounces per year. The price of gold from the mine will be guaranteed for the remaining life of the mine through the gold futures contracts. If the mine is opened today, each ounce of gold will generate an after-tax cash flow (= total or net cash flow) of $1,300 per ounce. If the company waits one year, there is a 70 percent probability that the contract price will generate an after-tax cash flow of $1,550 per ounce and a 30 percent probability that the after-tax cash flow will be $1,200 per ounce. The required return on the gold mine is 15 percent and it will cost $30,000,000 to open the mine regardless of whether the mine is open today or in one year. Compute the value of the option to wait today.
Answer:
The value of the option to wait today = $2,500,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Quantity of gold left in the mine = 100,000 ounces
Quantity of gold to be produced yearly = 10,000 ounces
Estimated life of mine = 10 years (100,000/10,000)
After-tax cash flow if mine is opened today = $1,300 per ounce
After-tax cash flow if mine is opened a year later:
Expected value = ($1,550 * 70%) + ($1,200 * 30%) = $1,325 per ounce
Comparison of the values of opening options:
Mine opened Mine opened
today a year later
After-tax cash flow per ounce $1,300 $1,325
Quantity of gold in the mine 100,000 100,000
Total after-tax cash flows $130,000,000 $132,500,000
Cost of opening mine 30,000,000 30,000,000
Required return (15%) 4,500,000 4,500,000
Actual returns from mine $100,000,000 $102,500,000
Therefore, the value of option to wait:
Returns from mine opened next year = $102,500,000
Returns from mine opened today = 100,000,000
Value of the option to wait today = $2,500,000

Lo-crete produces quick setting concrete mix. Production of 200,000 tons was started in April, 190,000 tons were completed. Material costs were $3,152,000 for the month while conversion costs were $591,000. There was no beginning work-in-process; the ending work-in-process was 70% complete. What is the cost of the product that was completed and transferred to finished goods
Answer:
$3,564,400
Explanation:
Equivalent units of Production
Materials = 190,000 + 10,000 = 200,000
Conversion cost = 190,000 + 10,000 x 70% = 197,000
Cost per equivalent units
Materials = $3,152,000 / 200,000 =$15.76
Conversion Cost = $591,000 / 197,000 =$3.00
Total cost per unit = $18.76
Therefore,
the cost of the product that was completed and transferred to finished goods is $3,564,400 ( 190,000 x $18.76)
High owns 60% of Low. In 2019, Low sold inventory (cost $70,000) to High for $100,000. 40% of this inventory was not sold to third parties by High until 2020. In 2020, Low sold inventory (cost $72,000) to High for $120,000. Of this inventory, $50,000 was not sold to third parties by High until 2021. In 2020, Low reports $70,000 of net income. What is the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low. $24,800 $31,200 $37,200 $46,800
Answer: $24800
Explanation:
To calculate the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low goes thus:
Profit reported by Low in 2020 = $70000
Add: Profit in opening stock that isn't sold to third party = ($100,000 × 40%) × 30% = $12,000
Less Profit in Opening stock that's not sold to third party = $50000 ×40% =$20000
The Total Profit will be:
= $70000 + $12000 - $20000
= $62000
Then, the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low will be:
= $62000 × 40%
= $62000 × 0.4
= $24800
