In 1999, the Federal Trade Commission allowed Exxon and Mobil to merge. At the time, Exxon and Mobil were the top two firms in their industry, and their merger created the largest corporation in the world. To allow the merger, Exxon and Mobil agreed to sell 2,431 gas stations. Of these, 1,740 were in the mid-Atlantic states, 360 were in California, 319 were in Texas, and 12 were in Guam.

Why would the U.S. government require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur?

a. Because these geographic regions had too many gas stations.
b. To protect consumers from inappropriate price decreases.
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
d. To ensure that Exxon-Mobil would earn fair profits in these geographic areas.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1999 Merger of Exxon and Mobil

The reason that made the U.S. government to require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur is:

c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.

Explanation:

The agreement to sell so many gas stations in localized parts of the country was to forestall antitrust lawsuits.  It was also made to protect consumers from unwarranted price increases, allowing more competition in the affected areas, where ExxonMobil owed too many gas stations.

Answer 2

The reason why the US would require these two companies to divest themselves is because to ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.

The answer to this question is option c. Sometimes when two companies merge into one, they could become too powerful. When this is the case, they may end up driving out all their competitors from the market.

At this point, a monopoly may arise from the companies. When a monopoly arises, they would be able to set the price to any amount that they want. This divest option by the government was to ensure the protection of consumers from a situation of price hikes.

Overnight Publishing Company (OPC) has $2.5 million in excess cash. The firm plans to use this cash either to retire all of its outstanding debt or to repurchase equity. The firm’s debt is held by one institution that is willing to sell it back to OPC for $2.5 million. The institution will not charge OPC any transaction costs. Once OPC becomes an all-equity firm, it will remain unlevered forever. If OPC does not retire the debt, the company will use the $2.5 million in cash to buy back some of its stock on the open market. Repurchasing stock also has no transaction costs. The company will generate $1,300,000 of annual earnings before interest and taxes in perpetuity regardless of its capital structure. The firm immediately pays out all earnings as dividends at the end of each year. OPC is subject to a corporate tax rate of 35 percent, and the required rate of return on the firm’s unlevered equity is 20 percent. The personal tax rate on interest income is 25 percent, and there are no taxes on equity distribution. Assume there are no bankruptcy costs

Answers

Answer:

A. $4,225,000

B. $4,558,333.33

C. $4,158,333.33

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm

Using this formula

VU= (EBIT)(1 – tC) / R0

Let plug in the formula

VU= ($1,300,000)(1 – .35) / .20

VU= $4,225,000

Therefore the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm is $4,225,000

b. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt

Using this formula

VL= VU+ {1 – [(1 – tC) / (1 – tB)}] × B

Let plug in the formula

VL= $4,225,000 + {1 – [(1 – .35) / (1 – .25)]} × $2,500,000

VL= $4,558,333.33

Therefore the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt is $4,558,333.33

c. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000

Using this formula

VL= VU+ {1 – [(1 – tC) / (1 – tB)}] × B – C(B)

Let plug in the formula

VL= ($4,225,000 + {1 – [(1 – .35) / (1 – .25)]} × $2,500,000) –$400,000

VL= $4,158,333.33

Therefore the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000 is $4,158,333.33

On May 3, 2020, Sweet Company consigned 70 freezers, costing $450 each, to Remmers Company. The cost of shipping the freezers amounted to $890 and was paid by Sweet Company. On December 30, 2020, a report was received from the consignee, indicating that 35 freezers had been sold for $740 each. Remittance was made by the consignee for the amount due after deducting a commission of 6%, advertising of $200, and total installation costs of $330 on the freezers sold.

Required:
a. Compute the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.
b. Compute the profit for the consignor for the units sold.
c. Compute the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.

Answers

Answer:

A. $16,195

B. $7,621

C. $23,816

Explanation:

a. Computation for the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.

Inventory value of the units unsold

First step is to calculate the Total inventory value

Inventory cost $31,500

(70 * $450)

Add Freight $890

Total inventory value $32,390

($31,500+$890)

Now let calculate the Inventory value of the units unsold

Inventory value of units unsold =($32,390 / 2)

Inventory value of units unsold =$16,195

Therefore the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee is $16,195

b. Computation for the profit for the consignor for the units sold

Sales $25,900

(35 * $740)

Less Cost of unit sold ($16,195)

($32,390 / 2)

Less Commission ($1,554)

($25,900 * 6%)

Less Advertising ($200)

Less Installation cost ($330)

Profit for the consignor $7,621

Therefore the profit for the consignor for the units sold will be $7,621

c. Computation for the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.

Sales $25,900

Less Commission ($1,554)

($25,900 * 6%)

Less Advertising ($200)

Less Installation cost ($330)

Cash remitted $23,816

Therefore the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee is $23,816

An average moving job takes 4 hours. The company currently does 3 moving jobs per week, but with one more employee, the company could manage 5 jobs per week. The company charges $100 for a moving job.

b. The value of that merginal product is ______.
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker.

Answers

Answer: a. 2

b. $200

c. Should not

Explanation:

a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.

This will be:

= 5 - 3

= 2 moving jobs

b. The value of that marginal product is ______..

Since the company charges $100 for a moving job, the value of the marginal product will be:

= 2 × $100

= $200

c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker

Marginal cost of moving 2 jobs will be:

= $30 × 4 × 2

= $240

Since the marginal cost is more than the marginal product, the company should not hire another worker.

Clampett, Incorporated, converted to an S corporation on January 1, 2020. At that time, Clampett, Incorporated, had cash ($54,000), inventory (FMV $74,000, basis $37,000), accounts receivable (FMV $54,000, basis $54,000), and equipment (FMV $74,000, basis $94,000). In 2021, Clampett, Incorporated, sells its entire inventory for $74,000 (basis $37,000). Assume the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. Clampett, Incorporated's taxable income in 2021 would have been $1,000,000 if it had been a C corporation. How much built-in gains tax does Clampett, Incorporated, pay in 2021

Answers

Answer:

$3,570

Explanation:

Particulars                        FMV             Basis                Differences

Inventory                      $74,000           $37,000              $37,000

Accounts receivable   $54,000           $54,000               $0

Equipment                   $74,000            $94,000              -$20,000

Taxable gain                                                                        $17,000

Tax rate = 21%

So, Built-in gains tax = Taxable gain × tax rate

= $17,000 × 21%

= $3,570

How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Investment in Stock X will be =  $6900

Investment in Stock Y will be =  $5100

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is the function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The expected return of portfolio can be calculated as follows,

Portfolio Expected Return = wA * rA  + wB * rB  +  ...  +  wN * rN

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stock in the portfolio

We know the target return for our portfolio and the individual stock's returns. To calculate the investment in each stock, we need to calculate the weightage.

Let x be the weightage of investment in Stock X and (1 - x) be the weightage of investment in Stock Y.

0.1230  =  x * 0.14  +  (1 - x) * 0.1

0.1230  =  0.14x  +  0.1  -  0.1x

0.1230 - 0.1  =  0.04x

0.023 / 0.04  =  x

x  =  0.575 or 57.5%

So, investment in Stock X will be = 0.575  *  12000   = $6900

Investment in Stock Y will be = 12000 - 6900  =  $5100

A male worker meets and regularly exceeds the work standards in the coding unit while the female workers in the unit usually, but not always, meet basic work standards. Based upon this information, the supervisor did not recommend a merit increase for the male worker since this increase would result in him receiving a higher wage than the female workers in the same unit. Given the scenario, determine which (if any) federal regulatory requirement has been violated

Answers

Answer:

The Federal regulatory requirement here which has been breached is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Explanation:

Acording to SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]

"(a) Employer practices

It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -

(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or

(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."

The supervisor might have been attempting to create equality. However, the results of the work stand out. By refusing to reward the male worker, the supervisor has discriminated against him on the basis of his gender. His work deserves merit. The work of the female worker does not.

Hence the supervisor is in violation of the statue refered above.

Variable cost = $12 * 40,000 = $480,000

Contribution margin = $1,400,000 - $480,000 = $920,000

Fixed cost = Residual income + Contribution

Fixed cost = $920,000 - $229,600

Fixed cost = $690,400

Sales to earn residual income = [Fixed cost + Desired profit] / Contribution per unit

Sales to earn residual income = [$690,400 + $505,600] / $35 - $12

Sales to earn residual income = $1,196,000 / $23

Sales to earn residual income = 52,000 units

A continuous (rolling) budget A. presents the plan for a range of activity so that the plan can be adjusted for changes in activity levels. B. presents a statement of expectations for a period of time but does not present a firm commitment. C. presents the plan for only one level of activity and does not adjust to changes in the level of activity. D.drops the current month or quarter and adds a future month or quarter as the current month or quarter is completed. E. classifies budget requests by activity and estimates the benefits arising from each activity. A continuous budget has a constant time horizon and always looks ahead the same number of periods.

Answers

Answer:

D.drops the current month or quarter and adds a future month or quarter as the current month or quarter is completed.

Explanation:

A continuous (rolling) budget is one that varies over time. It attach another month to the end of the budget as one month expires.  for example, If initial budget covers the months of January to December 2018, then you may add January 2019 after January 2018 has ended.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Beloved Baby Company manufactures and sells children's strollers. Each stroller requires eight screws. For September, Beloved Baby Company will begin September with 360 screws in its beginning inventory. Beloved Baby Company has budgeted stroller sales of 560 strollers, while 590 strollers are scheduled to be produced. How many screws should Beloved Baby Company purchase in September

Answers

Answer:

4,360

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How many screws should Beloved Baby Company purchase in September

Using this formula

Screws to purchased in September=(Production* per screws required)- Beginning Inventory

Let plug in the formula

Screws to purchased in September=(590 × 8)-360

Screws to purchased in September= 4,720 - 360 Screws to purchased in September= 4,360

Therefore The numbers of screws that Beloved Baby Company should purchase in September is 4,360



A growing trend to "Buy American" may encourage law makers to increase political pressure for Washington to pass legislation for more restrictive quotas on Japanese car imports. In addition, a decline in the value of the US dollar would be instrumental in Toyota’s decision to build a manufacturing plant in the United States instead of continuing to export cars from Japan. If Toyota builds a plant, it’s decision would effect...

Answers

Answer: positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.

Explanation:

Based on the information given, if Toyota builds a plant, then the decision would reflect positive result from the regulatory and economic environmental forces.

The regulatory forces depend impact how an organization will operate. It is part of the external marketing environment of a company whereby the political efforts has an affect on a company's marketing effort.

In this case, since there is a growing trend to "Buy American", if Toyota builds a plant, rather than importing, it'll represent positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.

Answers

Answer:

7%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the annual stated interest rate on the bonds

Using this formula

Bonds annual stated interest rate=Cash paid/Ending carrying value*2 payments per year

Let plug in the formula

Bonds annual stated interest rate=$7,000 / $200,000 × 2 payments per year

Bonds annual stated interest rate=0.07*100

Bonds annual stated interest rate= 7%

Therefore the annual stated interest rate on the bonds is 7%

Machinery purchased for $150,000 by Tom Brady Co. in 2010 was originally estimated to have a life of 12 years with a salvage value of $24,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been recorded for 7 years on this basis. In 2017, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 15 years with a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Instructions:
Determine the depreciation expense for 2017.

Answers

Answer:

$7,312.50

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:

Book Value is

= Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

= $150,000 - {[($150,000 - $24,000) ÷ 12 ] × 7y}

= $150,000 - [($126,000 ÷ 12 ) × 7]

= $150,000 - ($10,500 × 7)

= $150,000 - $73,500

= $76,500

Now the depreciation expense for 2017 :

= ($76,500 - $18,000) ÷ (15 - 7) years

= $58,500 ÷ 8 years

= $7,312.50

Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors and is considering whether it should record $220,000 of revenue upon shipment of a new line of cosmetics. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold. How much revenue should Finerly recognize upon delivery to its distributors

Answers

Answer:

The amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.

Explanation:

From the question, the following two very important points can be observed:

1. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type.

2. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold.

Since there is an uncertainty that the the distributors will be able to sell the cosmetics and Finerly is committed to accepting them back from the distributors if they are not sold, these imply that the amount of sales revenue cannot be known or reasonably estimated until when the distributors actually sell the cosmetics.

Therefore, the amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows. Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin Lawnmowers 20 % $33 Weed-trimmers 50 % $22 Chainsaws 30 % $41 Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,544,800. Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix. Lawnmowers units Weed-trimmers units Chainsaws units

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= 0.2*33 + 0.5*22 + 0.3*41

Weighted average contribution margin= $29.9

Break-even point (units)= 4,544,800 / 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 152,000 units

Now, for each product:

Lawnmowers= 0.2*152,000=30,400

Weed-trimmers= 0.5*152,000= 76,000

Chainsaws= 0.3*152,000= 45,600

Answer:

                                    70,000                90,000                        100,000

Total variable costs     $350,000         $450,000                     $500,000

Total fixed costs          $630,000            $630,000                    $630,000

Total Costs                    $980,000           $1,080,000                  $1,130,000

variable costs per unit    $5                      $5                                 $5

fixed cost costs per unit  $9                      $7                                 $6.30

total cost per unit             $14                     $12                                $11.30

Explanation:

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments

If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.  

Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs

Variable costs are costs that vary with production

If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.  

fixed cost would remain the same regardless of the number of output. Fixed cost would be $630,000 for 90,000 and 10,000 unit of output

fixed cost per unit = total fixed cost / output

$630,000 / 70,000 = $9

$630,000 / 90,000 = $7

$630,000 / 100,000 = $6.30

to determine the total variable cost for quantities, 90,000 and 10,000, the average variable cost has to be determined

Average variable cost = total variable cost / output

$350,000 / 70,000 = $5

Average total cost = average fixed cost + average variable cost

total variable cost for output 90,000 = $5 x 90,000 = $450,000

total variable cost for output 100,000 = $5 x 100,000 = $500,000

total cost = total fixed cost + total variable cost

total cost for output 90,000 = $450,000 + $630,000 = $1,080,000

total cost for output 100,000 = $500,000 + $630,000 = $1,130,000

On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.

2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 8, 2012:

Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000

Cost of painting the truck =         4,000

Cost of replacing the tires =        2,500

Cost of overhauling the engine  8,000

Total costs =                            $79,500

Residual value =                          6,000

Depreciable amount =           $73,500

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Straight-line depreciation Method:

Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)

Units-of-production Method:

Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)

For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)

For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)

Double-declining-balance method:

Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%

First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)

Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)

Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)

Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)

Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)

Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)

Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)

Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)

Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)

Zing Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 6,500 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 6,500 pounds, which cost $6 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $9 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $12 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $10.230 per batch. The additional processing will also cause a 5% loss of product due to evaporation.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated October 6, 2014 on whether to sell regular Columbian (Alternative 1) or process further into Decaf Columbian (Alternative 2).
b. Determine the price of Deaf Columbian that would cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing further and selling Decaf Columbian.

                              Columbian      Into Decaf              On Income

                          (Alternative 1)        (Alternative 2)          Alternative (2)

Revenues        $58,500                 $74,100                  $15,600

Costs                  39,000                  49,230                     10,230

Income (loss)         $19,500                $24,870                    $5,370

b. The Price of Decaf Columbian that would cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing further and selling Decaf Columbian is:

= $11.18 approx.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production batches = 6,500

Standard quantity of materials required in the process = 6,500 pounds

Cost of unit = $6

Total cost = $39,000

Selling price of regular Columbian coffee = $9 per pound

Revenue from regular Columbian coffee = $58,500

Selling price of Decaf Columbian coffee = $12 per pound

Additional processing costs = $10,230 per batch

Total cost after further processing = $49,230 ($39,000 + $10,230)

Loss during further processing = 5% of 6,500 = 325

Total quantity of Decaf Columbian coffee = 6,175

Total Sales revenue = $74,100 ($12 * 6,175)

Differential Analysis:

                     Sell Regular        Process Further    Differential Effect

                              Columbian      Into Decaf              On Income

                          (Alternative 1)        (Alternative 2)          Alternative (2)

Revenues        $58,500                 $74,100                  $15,600

Costs                  39,000                  49,230                     10,230

Income (loss)         $19,500                $24,870                    $5,370

Price of Decaf Columbian that would cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing further and selling Decaf Columbian is computed as follows:

Estimated revenue of the Decaf = $68,730 ($19,500 + $49,230)

Estimated selling price = $11.18 ($68,730/6,150)
