Answer:
$75,000 decrease
Explanation:
The total stockholders' equity decreases by the same amount of dividend distributed. This is so because distributions are made out of the Retained earnings which is a reserve set aside for stockholders and constitutes stockholders' equity.
So we have to calculate the value of dividend distributed. Dividends are calculated using book values instead of market value of stocks as follows :
Dividend = 50,000 x $10 x 15 % = $75,000
S14-12 Book Value versus Market Value [LO3] Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Both bonds make semiannual payments. a. What are the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis
Answer:
A. .6627
B. .1892
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis
First step is to calculate the book value weights of equity
Book value weights of equity = $7,000,000($8)
Book value weights of equity = $56,000,000
Second step is to calculate the Book value weights of debt
Book value weights of debt = $70,000,000 + 40,000,000
Book value weights of debt = $110,000,000
Third step is to calculate the total value of the company
Total value = $56,000,000 + 110,000,000
Total value = $166,000,000
Fourth step is to calculate the book value weights of equity and debt
Book value weights of equity and debt = $56,000,000/$166,000,000
Book value weights of equity and debt = .3373
Now let calculate capital structure weights on a book value basis using this formula
Capital structure weights on a book value basis= 1 - Book value weights of equity and debt
Let plug in the formula
Capital structure weights on a book value basis=1-.3373
Capital structure weights on a book value basis= .6627
Therefore the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis is .6627
B. Calculation to determine the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis
First step is to calculate the Market Value of Equity
Market Value of Equity = 7,000,000($68)
Market Value of Equity = $476,000,000
Second step is to calculate the Market Value of debt
Market Value of debt = .97($70,000,000) + 1.08($40,000,000)
Market Value of debt = $111,100,000
Third step is to calculate the total market value of the company
Total market value = $476,000,000 + 111,100,000
Total market value = $587,100,000
Fourth Step is to calculate the market value weights of equity and debt
Market value weights of equity and debt = $476,000,000/$587,100,000
Market value weights of equity and debt = .8108
Now let calculate capital structure weights on a market value basis
Using this formula
Capital structure weights on a market value basis = 1 - Market value weights of equity and debt
Let plug in the formula
Capital structure weights on a market value basis =1-.8108
capital structure weights on a market value basis = .1892
Therefore the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis is .1892

Roy Wilton is a CPA who recently made a poor investment. When researching the investment, Roy examined the financial statements of the firm, but did not read the accompanying footnotes, and therefore didn’t comprehend the broader context underlying those financial statements. Which of the following is true with respect to the enhancing qualitative characteristic of understandability in this case?
a. This demonstrates a violation of understandability, given that Roy did not comprehend all relevant information.
b. This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, as Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so.
c. This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, but rather completeness, as Roy’s understanding was incomplete.
d. This demonstrates a violation of understandability, as CPAs should be able to rely on the financial statements alone.
Answer: This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, as Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so
Explanation:
Even though Roy examined the financial statements of the firm, as stated above, he didn't read the accompanying footnotes, and hence, he did not comprehend the underlying context of the financial statements.
Therefore, in this case this doesn't demonstrate a violation of understandability, due to the fact that Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so.
According to concept of understandability in accounting, the information that are given in financial statements must be understandable by the financial statements and users.
Norris Company has the following capital structure: Common stock, $1 par, 100,000 shares issued and outstanding. On October 1, 2020, the company declared a 5% common stock dividend when the market price of the common stock was $15 per share. The stock dividend will be distributed on October 15, 2020, to stockholders on record on October 10, 2020. Upon declaration of the stock dividend, Norris Company would record:
Answer: Debit to retained earnings of $75000
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the stock dividend will be:
= 100,000 shares x 5%
= 100000 × 0.05
= 5,000 shares.
Since the market price is $15 per share, then the retained earnings will be:
= $15 × 5000
= $75000
Stock dividend distributable will be:
= 5,000 x $1
= $5000
Paid in capital in excess of par = $75000 - $5000 = $70000
The journal entry will be:
Debit Retained earnings $75000
Credit Stock dividend distributable $5,000
Credit Paid in capital in excess of par $70000

During the current year, the company purchased equipment for $212,000 on October 1. It is estimated the equipment will have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $12,000. Estimated production is 40,000 units and estimated working hours are 20,000. During the current year, the company uses the equipment for 525 hours and the equipment produced 1,000 unites. The company uses December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Part 1: For the current year, compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method.
Part 2: For the current year, compute depreciation expense using the activity method (units of output).
Part 3: For the current year, compute depreciation expense using the activity method (working hours).
Answer:
$6250
$5000
$5250
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($212,000 - $12,000) / 8 = $25,000
The machine was used for only 3 months in the fiscal year. Thus, the depreciation expense = $25,000 x (3/12) = $6250
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1000 / 40,000) x ($212,000 - $12,000) = $5000
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
($212,000 - $12,000) x (525 / 20,0000) = $5250

Prepaid insurance 8,976
(To record insurance expenses)
Dec. 31 Unearned revenue 86,280
Rent revenue (w.2) 86,280
(To record rent revenue.)
Dec. 31 Interest expense (w.3) 819
Interest payable 819
(To record interest on note payable.)
Dec. 31 Salaries expense (w.4) 4,659
Salaries payable 4,659
(To record salaries accrued.)
Workings:
w.1. Prepaid Insurance $16,824. The company has separate insurance policies on its buildings and its motor vehicles. Policy B4564 on the building was purchased on July 1, 2021, for $10,080. The policy has a term of 3 years. Policy A2958 on the vehicles was purchased on January 1, 2022, for $8,424. This policy has a term of 18 months.
Expired insurance Policy B4564 adjustment = $10,080 / 3 = $3,360
Expired insurance Policy A2958 adjustment = ($8,424 /18 months) * 12 months = $5,616
Total insurance expense = Expired insurance Policy B4564 adjustment + Expired insurance Policy A2958 adjustment = $3,360 + $5,616 = $8,976
w.2. Unearned Rent Revenue $314,240. The company began subleasing office space in its new building on November 1. At December 31, the company had the following rental contracts that are paid in full for the entire term of the lease.
Earned revenue = Monthly rent * Accrued month * Number of lease
Therefore, we have:
Total earned revenue = ($5,380 * 2 * 5) + ($8,120 * 1 * 4) = $86,280
w.3. Notes Payable $46,800. This balance consists of a note for 6 months at an annual interest rate of 7%, dated October 1.
Interest expense on note payable = Principal * Rate * Time = $46,800 * 7% * (3 / 12) = $819
w.4. Salaries and Wages Payable $0. There are 11 salaried employees. Salaries are paid every Friday for the current week. 5 employees receive a salary of $635 each per week, and 6 employees earn $ 765 each per week. Assume December 31 is a Wednesday. Employees do not work weekends. All employees worked the last 3 days of December.
Total salaries accrued = (5 employees * $635 each per week * 3/5 days) + (6 employees * $765 each per week * 3/5 days) = $4,659
An airline knows that there are two types of travelers: business travelers and vacationers. For a particular flight, there are 100 business travelers who will pay $600 for a ticket while there are 50 vacationers who will pay $300 for a ticket. There are 150 seats available on the plane. Suppose the cost to the airline of providing the flight is $20,000, which includes the cost of the pilots, flight attendants, fuel, etc.
Required:
a. How much profit will the airline earn if it sets the price of each ticket at $600?
b. How much additional profit can the airline earn by charging each customer their willingness to pay relative to charging a flat price of $600 per ticket?
Answer: it would be 100 business travlers who will pay 600$ for a ticket
Explanation: well if you do the math 600×100=60,00 and that would pay for the airline expenses and extra the other option wouldnt be enough because it would only add up to 15,000 300×50=15,00 so it would be enough
A building was constructed last year for Agro Co. for use as a production facility. Construction began on January 1 and was completed on December 31. The payments to the contractor were as follows.
Date Payment
1/1 $300,000
4/1 620,000
8/1 460,000
10/1 300,000
To finance construction of the building, a $750,000, 10% construction loan was taken out on January 1. The loan was repaid on December 31. The firm had two sources of general debt: $400,000 note payable, 9% annual interest, and $500,000 par value bonds, 7.5% annual interest.
Determine the amount of interest to be capitalized.
Answer:
Agro Co.
The amount of interest to be capitalized is:
= $92,850.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Payment Weight Weighted Average
1/1 $300,000 12/12 $300,000
4/1 620,000 9/12 465,000
8/1 460,000 5/12 191,667
10/1 300,000 3/12 75,000
Weighted-average accumulated expenditure = $1,031,667
Sources debt:
$750,000 construction loan, 10% annual interest = $75,000
$400,000 note payable, 9% annual interest = 36,000
$500,000 par value bonds, 7.5% annual interest = 37,500
Total debt = $1,650,000 Total interest = $148,500
Weighted-average interest rate = $148,500/$1,650,000 * 100 = 9%
Interest to be capitalized = Weighted-average accumulated expenditure * Weighted-average interest rate
= $1,031,667 * 9%
= $92,850
Economists sometimes describe the balance of trade as the balance of payments, because:___________
a. they are mistaking the flow of goods with the flow of money
b. each category of the current account balance involves a corresponding flow of payments in the same direction
c. each category of the current account balance involves a corresponding flow of payments in the opposite direction
d. its financial capital outflows are equal to the inflows
Answer: b. each category of the current account balance involves a corresponding flow of payments in the same direction
Explanation:
For every purchase made or sales that sold, a corresponding payment needs to be made or received.
The balance of payment therefore allows for us to be able to figure out the amount that was traded because it would be the payment received less receives.

SH = Standard Hours AR Actual Rate
SR = Standard Rate
(1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances
(2) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1a. Direct material price variance
= (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity
= ( $5.85 - $5.90) × 33,000
= $1,650 unfavorable
1.b Direct materials quantity variance
= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard price
= (63,000 × 0.5 - 33,000) × $5.85
= $8,775 unfavourable
2.a Direct labor rate variance
= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual quantity
= ($21.70 - $20.7) × 10,700
= $10,700 favorable
2.b Direct labor efficiency variance
= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard rate)
= [(10/60 × 63,000) - 10,700] × $21.7
= (10,500 - 10,700) × $21.7
= $4,340 unfavorable

Culture plays a key role in business. In what ways have movies influenced managerial tasks, company activities, and other ways of doing business around the world?
Can watching foreign films be an effective way of learning how to do business abroad? Justify your answer.
Answer:
In what ways have movies influenced managerial tasks, company activities, and other ways of doing business around the world?
Movies can certainly influence the behavior of managers and other businessmen, specially if they happen to be particularly fond of such movies. However, if the influenced behavior does not lead to good corporate results, it is then likely to be discarded.
Can watching foreign films be an effective way of learning how to do business abroad?
To a certain extent yes, specially if the movies are related to some kind of business activity. However, movies can also display stereotypical behaviors, or deal with subject matter that is not relevant for the business activity, so it is always important to keep in mind that they are not enough to learn how to do business abroad, and that other type of material is needed, like books, or government reports.

Brix, Inc., prepares frozen food for fast-food restaurants. It has two workstations, cooking and assembly. The cooking station is limited by the cooking time of the food. Assembly is limited by the speed of the workers. Assembly normally waits on food from cooking. The current production is 3,000 dozen units per month. Because the demand has increased in recent months, management is considering adding another cooking station or else having the cooks in the cooking station start to work earlier. The monthly cost of operating the cooking station one more hour each day is $2,500. The cost of adding another cooking station would add an average of $11 per hour. The current operating hours total eight hours a day, 22 days a month. The contribution margin of the finished products is currently $8 per dozen. Either the extra hour or the new cooking station would increase production by 20 dozen a day. Assuming the company carries no inventory. Required: a. What is the total production per month if the change is made
Answer:
Brix, Inc.The total production per month if the change is made is:
3,440 dozen units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current production per month = 3,000 dozen units
Alternatives Cooking Station Extra Hour of Labor
Monthly cost $2,500
Average cost per hour $11
Current operating hours 8/day
Working days per month 22
Total monthly cost $1,936 ($11 * 8 * 22) $2,500
Add a new cooking station is cheaper by $564 per month since they each produce the same output per day.
Units added by extra hour or the new cooking station = 20 dozen a day
There are 22 days in a month, so the increase monthly = 440 (22 * 20)
Total monthly production will become 3,440 (3,000 + 440)
Which of the following is not a way of creating agency in California?
Answer:
Note that in California, there are THREE ways to create agency: by agreement, by ratification, and by estoppel.
Explanation:
1. Written or expressed - An oral or written contract in which the parties state the contract's terms and express their intentions in words. We agree orally to the terms of our agency relationship, wherein you will hire me to market your property or represent you as a buyer's agent.
2. Implied - A contract under which the agreement of the parties is demonstrated by their acts and conduct. Example: "I'll help you buy a house; so don't work with anyone else because I will be your agent. Let's go look at some houses today."
3. Ostensible Agency - An actual agency relationship that arises by the actions of the parties rather than by express agreement. For example, the owner of a property knows a broker is showing the owner's vacant lot to prospective buyers without authority to do so. Unless the owner takes steps to stop such unauthorized showings, the law considers that third parties have a just cause to believe the broker to be the "owner's broker." This situation is called an ostensible agency because on the surface an agency appears to exist. Once this type of agency is created, the owner is prevented by estoppel* from denying its existence.
*Estoppel - A legal doctrine by which a person is prevented from asserting rights or facts that are inconsistent with a previous position or representation made by act, conduct, or silence.
4. Ratification - A method of creating an agency relationship in which the principal (seller or buyer) accepts the conduct of someone who acted without prior authorization as the principal's agent. Example: A licensee who shows a property without the owner's prior approval, and then the owner agrees to work with the agent to sell the property.
Note that in California, there are THREE ways to create agency: by agreement, by ratification, and by estoppel.
A copy machine is available 18 hours a day. On a typical day, the machine needs to process 320 jobs. Each job takes about 1.5 minutes on the machine, 0.5 minute of which is processing time and 1 minute is setup time (logging in, defining the job). About 25% of the jobs need to be reworked, in which the set?up time and the processing time have to be repeated once. In the remaining time, the equipment is idle. You would need to show steps and use 2 decimals in calculations.
(a) Draw a tree diagram to show the breakdown of equipment time.
(b) Define and calculate total non value added time in minutes.
(c) Define and calculate total value added time in minutes.
(d) Calculate total waste time in minutes. Give a detailed breakdown of waste time.
(e) What is the OEE of the equipment? (percentage, 2 decimals, i.e. 23.67%)
Answer:
(b)
Total available time = 18x60 =1080 min.
Total processing time = 320x0.5 = 160 min
Total set up time = 320x1 -320 min.
Total rework time = ( 1+0.5) =120 min.
Total Non value added time = set up time + rework time 320+120 = 440 min.
(c) Total value added time = processing time = 160 min.
(d) Total waste time = set up time + rework time + Idle time 320+120+ 480 = 920 mn.
(e) OEE = processing time / time available = 160/1080 = 0.1481 = 14.81%

The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.65. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $2.8 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 14%, and T-bills currently offer a 6% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
Answer:
a.
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68 times
Explanation:
a.
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of returnWe first need to calculate the values for D0, g and r.
D0 can be calculate by multiplying the earnings per share by (1 - Plowback Ratio)
D0 = 2.8 * (1 - 2/3)
D0 = $0.93333333333 rounded off to $0.93
To calculate the value of g, we need to multiply the ROE by the Plowback ratio.
g = 0.09 * 2/3
g = 0.06 or 6%
To calculate the value of r, we will use the CAPM equation.
r = risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
r = 0.06 + 1.65 * (0.14 - 0.06)
r = 0.192 or 19.2%
P0 = 0.93333333333 * (1+0.06) / (0.192 - 0.06)
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
The P/E ratio can be calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share.
P/E = 7.49494949492 / 2.8
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68
Given the following information for Albright Company, what was the total manufacturing cost variance? Manufacturing Costs Actual Costs Standard Cost at Actual Volume Budgeted Cost Direct materials $ 80,300 $ 76,000 $ 71,250 Direct labor 77,000 72,500 68,400 Factory overhead 44,800 48,000 45,600 Total $202,100 $196,500 $185,250 a.$5,600 unfavorable b.$(5,600) favorable c.$16,850 unfavorable d.$3,200 unfavorable
Answer:
Total manufacturing cost variance = $5,600 unfavorable
Explanation:
The total manufacturing cost variance is the difference between the actual total manufacturing cost incurred and the standard manufacturing cost for the actual output achieved.
The manufacturing cost is the sum of the direct material cost and direct labour cost and factory production overhead.
Actual total Manufacturing cost = 202,100
Standard manufacturing cost=$196,500
Variance = $202,100- $196,500=$5,600 unfavorable
Total manufacturing cost variance = $5,600 unfavorable
