Answer:
Ending invenory= $1,298
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
July 1 Beginning inventory 35 units at $22 $770
July 7 Purchases 124 units at $24 $2,976
July 22 Purchases 18 units at $26 $468
A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 57 units on hand.
To calculate the ending inventory using the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory:
Ending inventory= 35*22 + 22*24
Ending invenory= $1,298
The Smoot-Hawley Act, signed into law in 1930, increased U.S. tariffs to an unprecedented level of 53%, causing a sharp decline in U.S. exports. In 1934, however, changes in the U.S. trade policy enabled U.S. manufacturers to resume business with their foreign distributors. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the increase in U.S. exports after these changes?
A. The president received the authority to negotiate bilateral tariff-reduction agreements with foreign governments.
B. The scientific tariff was introduced, which allowed the president to increase tariff levels if foreign production costs were below those of the United States.
C. Congress was given the authority to approve bilateral trade agreements.
Answer:
A. The president received the authority to negotiate bilateral tariff-reduction agreements with foreign governments.
Explanation:
Since in the given situation it is mentioned that in the year 1934 the change in the trade policy enables the manufactured of U.S to restart their business with the foreign distributors so the reason that would increase the U.S exports would be that the president should received the authority in order to negotiate the agreement with the foreign government with respect to the decrease in the bilaterial tariff
Hence, the option A is corrrect

Boss Company reported the following results for the year ended December 31, 2019, its first year of operations: 2019 Income (per books before income taxes) $ 1,500,000 Taxable income 2,500,000 The disparity between book income and taxable income is attributable to a temporary difference which will reverse in 2019. What should Boss record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2019, assuming that the enacted tax rates in effect are 40% in 2019 and 35% in 2020
Answer:
$350,000 deferred tax asset.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What should Boss record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2019,
Using this formula
December 31, 2019 Net deferred tax asset or liability=Taxable income -2019 Income (per books before income taxes)
Let plug in the formula
December 31, 2019 Net deferred tax asset or liability=(2,500,000 - $ 1,500,000) × 35%
December 31, 2019 Net deferred tax asset or liability= $350,000 deferred tax asset.
Therefore what Boss should record as a net deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $350,000
With perfect price discrimination, the marginal revenue curve
A) is equal to the demand curve.
B) is below the demand curve. C) is above the demand curve.
D) is horizontal.
Answer: b
Explanation: Because the monopolist must lower the price on all units in order to sell additional units, marginal revenue is less than price. Because marginal revenue is less than price, the marginal revenue curve will lie below the demand curve.
Westerly Inc. is a publicly traded company that generated $1000 million in operating income in the most recent year, after taking a depreciation charge of $200 million. The company had capital expenditures of $500 million during the year and its working capital increased by $120 million. If the effective tax rate for the company was 40% for the year, what is the FCFF (Free Cash flow to the Firm) for the most recent year
Answer:
Free cash flow to the firm = $180million
Explanation:
Free cash flow represents the amount that is left to all the providers of capital after the payment of all all operating expenses, working capital and investment in fixed asset expenditures.
It is computed as cash flow made from operation less capital expenditures
For Blur Communications
The Free cash flow
= EBIT(1-T) + depreciation- increase in capital expenditure - increase in working capital
= 1000 × (1-0.4) + 200 - 500 - 120
= $180 million
Free cash flow to the firm = $180million
nswer the question on the basis of the following cost data. Output Average Fixed Cost Average Variable Cost 1 $50.00 $100.00 2 25.00 80.00 3 16.67 66.67 4 12.50 65.00 5 10.00 68.00 6 8.37 73.33 7 7.14 80.00 8 6.25 87.50 If the firm closed down in the short run and produced zero units of output, its total cost would be Multiple Choice $0. $50. $150. $100.
Answer:
The correct answer is $50.
Explanation:
When the company produces zero units, the only costs that it would incur will be the fixed costs. We need to determine the total fixed costs:
Total fixed costs= Unitary fixed costs*number of units
Total fixed costs= 50*1= $50
Total fixed costs= 25*2= $50
Total fixed cost= 16.67*3= $50
Total fixed cost= 12.50*4= $50
And so on...
On a unitary basis, the fixed costs decrease with production. On a total basis, it remains constant.
Production= 0
Fixed cost= $50
Last month when Holiday Creations, Inc., sold 41,000 units, total sales were $282,000, total variable expenses were $214,320, and fixed expenses were $36,900. Required: 1. What is the company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio? 2. What is the estimated change in the company’s net operating income if it can increase total sales by $1,700? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
1. Company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio = 24%
2. Estimated change in the company’s net operating income = $408
Explanation:
1. What is the company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio?
Contribution margin (CM) = Total sales - Total variable expenses = $282,000 - $214,320 = $67,680
Contribution margin (CM) ratio = Contribution margin / Total sales = $67,680 / $282,000 = 0.24, or 24%
2. What is the estimated change in the company’s net operating income if it can increase total sales by $1,700? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Estimated change in the company’s net operating income = Increase total in sales * Contribution margin (CM) ratio = $1.700 * 24% = $408

The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the first department for the month is closest to:____.
a. $29.33.
b. $29.00.
c. $31.78.
d. $35.51.
Answer:
$31.28
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the first department for the month is closest to:
First step is to calculate the Total Conversion Cost
Total Conversion Cost=$253,900+$18,700
Total Conversion Cost=$$272,600
Second step is to calculate the Equivalent Units
Equivalent Units =( 7,700 x 100%) + (1,700 + 8,900 - 7,700 ×35%)
Equivalent Units =( 7,700 x 100%) + (2,900 x 35 %)
Equivalent Units =7,700+1,015
Equivalent Units = 8,715 units
Now let calculate the Cost per Equivalent Units using this formula
Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
Cost per Equivalent Unit = $272,600 ÷ 8,715 units
Cost per Equivalent Unit = $31.28
Therefore The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the first department for the month is closest to:$31.28
Two companies, A and B, both have $1 million in assets, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $160,000, and the same tax rate. Company A is all equity financed, and Company B is 50% debt financed and 50% equity financed. If Company B's pretax cost of debt is 8%, then Company A will have a ROA that is _____ and a ROE that is _____ than Company B's. a. Option D b. Option C c. Option B d. Option A
Answer: higher; lower
Explanation:
EBIT for A = 160,000
Equity of A = 1,000,000
ROA of A = 160,000/1,000,000 = 0.16 = 16%
ROE of A = 160,000/1,000,000 = 0.16 = 16%
EBIT for B = 160000 - (1000000 × 50% × 8%) = 120000
Equity of B = 1000000 × 50% = 500,000
ROA of B = 120000/1000000 = 0.12 = 12%
ROE of B = 120000/500000 = 0.24 = 24%
From the above, we can see that Company A has a higher ROA but had a lesser ROE THAN B

Suppose you are the lead underwriter for a start-up company. The company plans to sell 10 million shares at the price of $46 per share. It also provides you an over-allotment option of 1.5 million additional shares. Recent road show estimates demand to be around 20 million shares at $46. There is lots of uncertainty about how the stock will perform after trading starts. Consider the following decisions. 18. Before the trading starts tomorrow, you need to allocate (sell) a number of shares to the institutional investors now at the IPO price. How many shares will you allocate
Answer: 11.5 million shares
Explanation:
The demand for the new shares is 20 million at the IPO price and the company plans to sell 10 million shares only.
Demand therefore exceeds supply so you as the lead underwriter will have to exercise the over-allotment option of 1.5 million additional shares provided to you.
Total shares you allocate will be:
= 10 + 1.5
= 11.5 million shares

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $28 per unit and whose variable expense is $23 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $9,500. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 9,500 / (28 - 23)
Break-even point in units= 1,900 units
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 9,500 / (5 / 28)
Break-even point (dollars)= $53,200
Finally, the fixed costs increase to $10,100:
Break-even point in units= 10,100 / 5
Break-even point in units= 2,020 units
Break-even point (dollars)= 10,100 / (5/28)
Break-even point (dollars)= $56,560

D. the check becomes money when it arrives at the landlord's bank.
E. the check is not money because it is just an instruction to your bank to make a payment
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Money is an economic unit that is generally accepted as a medium of exchange in the economy
Functions of money
1. Medium of exchange : money can be used to exchange for goods and services. For example, money serves as a medium of exchange when you pay $20 for your favourite jeans
2. Unit of account : money can be used to value goods and services, For example, $20 is the value of your favourite jeans
3. Store of value : money can retain its value over the long term, this it can be used as a store of value
M1 includes the most liquid from of money. It includes currency, demand deposits and checking account.
A check is not a form of money. It can be defined as a note or an instruction to a bank to make a payment. The payment can either be honoured or not be honoured

For the credit sales, 50% of the amount is collected in the month of sale, and 50% in the next month. The total expected cash receipts during March are
Answer:
Total cash collection March= $53,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
February $60,000
March $50,000.
Sales in cash= 40%
Sales on account= 60% (50% of the amount is collected in the month of sale, and 50% in the next month)
We need to calculate the cash collection for March:
Cash collection March:
Sales on Cash March= (50,000*0.4)= 20,000
Sales on account March= (50,000*0.6)*0.5= 15,000
Sales on account February= (60,000*0.6)*0.5= 18,000
Total cash collection March= $53,000

A $500,000 bond issue sold at 98. Therefore, the bonds: Multiple Choice Sold at a premium because the stated rate of interest was higher than the yield rate. Sold at a discount because the stated rate of interest was lower than the effective rate. Sold at a discount because the effective interest rate was lower than the face rate. Sold for the $500,000 face amount less $10,000 of accrued interest.
Answer: Sold at a discount because the stated rate of interest was lower than the effective rate.
Explanation:
The stated rate of interest is the coupon rate. This is the interest rate at which the bond will make periodic payments.
The effective rate is the market rate. This is the rate that will discount the bond to the present.
If the effective rate is higher than the stated rate of interest, the coupon payments will be discounted such that the current price of the bond will be less than par.
The above bond had a par of 100 but was issued at 98. It was issued at a discount which means that the effective rate was higher than the stated rate.
