8. Imagine a private company decides to sponsor an event in exchange for publicity. Give an example of when a sponsorship could have a negative result for the sponsoring company.

Answers

Answer:

Political events like a candidate rally are particularly tricky for companies, and sponsoring them could result in a lot of consumer backlash, specially from the people who are not affiliated to the sponsored politician or political party.

This is why many companies avoid political sponsorships or political statements, because politics is a very divisive issue, and while such an action could earn the company the loyal following of a few, it could also discourage a lot more people from ever buying their products.

At the end of two years, Trainor reevaluated the useful life of the equipment. Management extended the total useful life an additional 5 years but estimated that the equipment would have no residual value at the end of this time. If the company uses straight-line depreciation, what amount would be recorded as depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation per year $40,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year is shown below:

Purchase cost $500,000

Less residual value -$50,000

Depreciable cost $450,000

Depreciation per year $90,000 ($450,000 ÷ 5 years)

For two years, the depreciation is $180,000

Book value at the end of the 2nd year is $320,000

Jane was employed by ABC Construction Company as a forklift operator. She noticed that the foreman was taking shortcuts on some of the trenching which caused a dangerous condition that could possibly cause injury to employees who were close to the area of the trench. Jane was not at risk of being hurt by the shortcut in the trenching operation. Jane refused to do the work because of her belief that the trenching work was not being done in a safe manner. Jane was told to punch out and go home. Jane would like to file a claim against her employer.

We will be conducting a classroom debate on this case. Presume you have been hired to represent either the Jane or ABC Construction in this case (students are assigned by their last name see below). Provide the class in your initial response a statement as to why your client’s position is correct. For those representing ABC Construction, explain why the company was within its rights to send Jane home without pay. For those representing the employee Jane, explain why she is justified in refusing to do work in light of a dangerous condition on the worksite.

Answers

Answer:

According to the OSHA act, Jane is right in her claim to refuse to work until safe working conditions are provided.

Explanation:

I would be representing Jane and will be following the debate in light of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) act. According to the OSHA act, employers are responsible for the provision of a safe and healthy workplace to their employees. Failing to do so could lead to a refusal. According to the section of the OSHA act, An employee has the right to refuse to work,  if all of the below-mentioned conditions are met:

A real and imminent danger of serious injury or death exists in the workplace. Where possible the employee has asked the employer to eliminate the danger. The employer has failed to eliminate the danger. The employee refuses to work because the employee believes, in good faith, that there is an imminent danger of serious injury or death.

As the foreman of ABC construction was using shortcuts in trenching and thus stigmatized the trenching. This could lead to a dangerous situation for the area of the trench leading to its collapse. This is an indication of imminent danger and thus the employee in the area of the trench has a serious threat to his/her life Thus Jane is right in her claim to refuse to work until safe working conditions are provided.

Sam's Dog toys sells a Red toy and a Blue toy. The contribution margin for the Red toy is $5 and for the Blue toy is $10. The expected sales mix is 60% for Red toy and 40% for Blue toy. The total fixed costs amount to $3,000 and the company desires to earn a profit of $500. What is the sale volume in units necessary to reach the desired profit

Answers

Answer:

500 units

Explanation:

The computation of the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is shown below:

= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)

= ($3,000 + $500) ÷ ($5 × 60% + $10 × 40%)

= $3,500 ÷ 7

= 500 units

Hence, the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is 500 units

The above formula should be applied to determine the sales units

hence, the same would be considered

The Kelsh Company has two divisions--North and South. The divisions have the following revenues and expenses:

North South
Sales $900,000 $800,000
Variable expenses 450,000 300,000
Traceable fixed expenses 260,000 210,000
Allocated common corporate expenses 240,000 190,000
Net operating income (loss) ($50,000) $100,000

Management at Kelsh is pondering the elimination of the North Division. If the North Division were eliminated, its traceable fixed expenses could be avoided. The total common corporate expenses would be unaffected.

Given this data, the elimination of the North Division would result in an overall company operating income of:

a. 50,000
b. 150,000
c. (140,000)
d. 100,000

Answers

Answer:

c. (140,000)

Explanation:

Effect on net income of dropping the North Division:

Sales                                       $(900,000)

Variable expenses                 $450,000

Contribution margin               $(450,000)

Traceable fixed expenses     $260,000

Effect on net income            ($190,000)

Since the North Division currently have Net operating income (loss) of ($50,000), so therefore, after dropping the North Division, the overall company net operating loss will be $140,000 ($50,000 - $190,000).

Golf Ball Inc. expects earnings to be $10,000 per year in perpetuity if it pays out all of its earnings in dividends. Suppose the firm has an opportunity to invest $1,000 of next year's earnings to upgrade its machinery. It is expected that this upgrade will increase earnings in all future years (starting two years from now) by $140. Assume that Golf Ball's next dividend is one year from now. The required rate of return is 12%.
What is the value of Golf Ball Inc. if it undertakes the upgrade?

Answers

Answer: $ 83,333.33

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the value of Golf Ball Inc. if it undertakes the upgrade will be:

It should be noted that the earning will be distributed as dividend if there's no upgrade. Hence, dividend will be $10000.

Since the required rate of return is 12%, then the value of Golf Ball Inc. if it undertakes the upgrade will be:

= Dividend / required rate of return

= 10000 / 12 %

= 10000 / 0.12

= $ 83,333.33

Mackenzie Company has a price of $38 and will issue a dividend of $ 2.00 next year. It has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 4.9%. a. Estimate the equity cost of capital for Mackenzie. b. Under the CGDM, at what rate do you need to expect Mackenzie's dividends to grow to get the same equity cost of capital as in part (a)?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the equity cost of capital is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta

= 5.20% + 4.90% × 1.30

= 11.57%

b. Now the rate at which the dividend should be grow is

Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)

$38 = $2 ÷ (11.57% -  growth rate)

so, the growth rate is 6.31%

One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both. is the only structure that organizes employees around specific knowledge or other resources. uses self-directed work teams rather than individuals as the basic building block of organizations. is an alliance of several organizations for the purpose of creating a product or serving a client.

Answers

Answer:

overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.

Explanation:

An organizational structure can be defined as the process which typically involves dividing an organization into various functional units.

Basically, the organizational structure comprises of three (3) main dimensions and these are;

I. The vertical dimension: this is typically the decision-making responsibilities (decentralization and centralization).

II. The horizontal dimension: this divides the organization into subunits.

III. Integrating mechanisms: it is based typically on the strategic mechanism that controls the various subunits within an organization.

A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.

These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.

A matrix organizational structure is a type work structure where reporting relationships between employees are set up as a matrix rather than the conventional hierarchy approach. This simply means, there are two (2) chains of command; employees have dual reporting relationships to both a project and functional manager.

The matrix organizational structure can be classified into three (3) categories, these are;

1. Weak matrix structure.

2. Balanced matrix structure.

3. Strong matrix structure.

One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.

One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Beta's manager has decided that the best time to call is 7:00 p.m. because it is exactly halfway between 5:00 p.m. and bedtime. Which of the following is true?
a. Alpha and Charlie will also make calls at 7:00 p.m.
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
c. Alpha and Charlie will divide up the rest of the market, with one choosing to call at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.
d. Beta is certain to generate the most donations.

Answers

Answer:

b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.

Explanation:

If you know that you are competing with identical charities, calling later will only result in fewer donations. The calls should start at 5 PM, and probably the three fundraisers will start calling at the same time. The only advantage that they can have depends on reaching the adults first, so the time of the calls is important.

A company with excess capacity must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 19,000 defective units that cost $5.40 per unit to manufacture. The units can be a) sold as is for $3.50 each, or b) reworked for $4.60 each and then sold for the full price of $8.90 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units

Answers

Answer:

Incremental income as scrap=$66,500

Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700

Explanation:

Unit contribution from selling as scrap is the equal to the scrap value = 3.50

Unit contribution when reworked and sold as scrap =Selling price - cost of re-work= $8.90-4.60= $4.3

Incremental income as scrap = $3.50×19,000= $66,500

Incremental income when re-worked= $4.3 × 19,000 = $81,700

Incremental income as scrap=$66,500

Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700

Explanation:

In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $54,000 and a current ratio of 1.80. Assume that the following transactions were completed: (1) purchased merchandise for $6,000 on account, and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $1,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Compute the updated current ratio (round answers to 2 decimal places)
Transaction (1) ________________
Transaction (2) ________________

Answers

Answer:

Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666  rounded off to 1.67

Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388  rounded off to 1.64

Explanation:

The current ratio is a measure of liquidity which measures the amount of current assets a business has to pay off each $1 of current liability. It is calculated as follows,

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

We know the initial current ratio and current assets. The initial current liabilities will be,

1.8 = 54000 / Current Liabilities

Current Liabilities = 54000 / 1.8

Current Liabilities = $30000

Transaction 1

The result of transaction 1 will be that the current assets will increase by $6000 as inventory increases and the current liabilities will also increase by $6000 as accounts payable are increasing. The new current ratio will be,

Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = (54000 + 6000)  /  (30000 + 6000)

Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666 rounded off to 1.67

Transaction 2

The result of transaction 2 will be that the current assets will decrease by $1000 as payment for truck which is a fixed asset is made partly by cash and the current liabilities will not increase as the note signed for the remaining payment of the truck is due after 2 years thus it is a non current liability. The new current ratio will be,

Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = (54000 + 6000 -1000)  /  (30000 + 6000)

Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388  rounded off to 1.64

You are the price manager at a restaurant that, for customer relations reasons, can reset its prices (reprint menus) no more than once every two years. Because you want prices that are competitive but cover costs with as much of a profit margin to spare as possible, you require as accurate a prediction of inflation over the next two years as possible.

What would be your best method of predicting inflation?

a. Take the forecast of the economist with the best track record of predicting inflation.
b. Look to the yields of inflation swaps.
c. Consult the University of Michigan survey of inflation expectations among the public.
d. Take the average inflation forecast across many professional economists.

Answers

Answer:

My best method of predicting inflation as the price manager at a restaurant is:

b. Look to the yields of inflation swaps.

Explanation:

An inflation swap is a financial derivative contract that transfers inflation risk between two parties.  Inflation swap yields can provide a more accurate estimation of the future inflation rates than relying on the predictions of individual economists.  This method is widely used by finance professionals to hedge or reduce inflation risk and set long-term prices.

Masterson, Inc., has 4.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $89.50, and the book value per share is $11.25. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $81 million, a coupon rate of 5.1%, and sells for 96.5% of par. The second issue has a face value of $53 million, a coupon rate of 5.8%, and sells for 106.5% of par. The first issue matures in 25 years, the second in 9 years. The most recent dividend was $4.28 and the dividend growth rate is 5.3%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semi-annual payments. The tax rate is 21%.
a. What are the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis?
b. What are the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis?
c. Which are more relevant, the book or market value weights?

Answers

Answer:

Masterson, Inc.

1. The company's capital structure weights on a book value basis are:

Book Value Weights:

Equity = 0.27 or 27%

Debts = 0.73 0r 73%

2. The company's capital structure weights on market value basis are:

Market Value Weights:

Equity = 0.75 or 75%

Debts = 0.25 or 25%

3. The market value weights of Masterson's common stock and debts are more relevant because they represent a more current valuation of the equity and the debts.  It is easier to calculate the book value weights since the information is more readily available within the entity than the information on market weights.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:              

Equity                                     Units                     Total Value

Outstanding common stock  4.4 million shares

Current share price              $89.50                  $393.8 million

Book value per share           $11.25                    $49.5 million

Debt                                        Units                     Total Value

First bond:

 Face value                             81,000                   $81 million

 Market value                         81,000                    $78.165 million

Coupon rate =                         5.1%                       $4.131 million p.a.

Second bond:

 Face value                            53,000                   $53 million

 Market value                        53,000                   $54.445 million

Coupon rate =                        5.3%                      $2,809 million p.a.

Total book value of bonds    134,000                 $134 million

Total market value of bonds 134,000                 $132.61 million

Capital structure      Equity                    Bonds                 Total

Book value              $49.5 million          $134 million       $183.5 million

Market value           $393.8 million        $132.61 million  $526.41 million

Book Value Weights:

Equity = $49.5/$183.5 = 0.27 or 27%

Debts = $134/$183.5 = 0.73 0r 73%

Market Value Weights:

Equity = $393.8/$526.41 = 0.75 or 75%

Debts = $132.61/$526.41 = 0.25 or 25%

Speed World Cycles sells high-performance motorcycles and motocross racers. One of Speed World’s most popular models is the Kazomma 900 dirt bike. During the current year, Speed World Cycles purchased eight of these bikes at the following costs.



Purchase Date Units Purchased Unit Cost Total Cost
July 1 2 $ 4,950 $ 9,900
July 22 3 5,000 15,000
Aug. 3 3 5,100 15,300
8 $ 40,200


On July 28, Speed World Cycles sold four Kazomma 900 dirt bikes to the Vince Wilson racing team. The remaining four bikes remained in inventory at September 30, the end of Speed World’s fiscal year.

Assume that Speed World Cycles uses a perpetual inventory system. (See the data provided.)

Required:

a-1. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using Average cost.

a-2. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using FIFO method.

a-3. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using LIFO method.

b-1. Which of the three cost flow assumptions will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year?

b-2. Which of the three cost flow assumptions minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year?

b-3. May Speed World Cycles use the cost flow assumption that results in the highest net income for the current year in its financial statements, but use the cost flow assumption that minimizes taxable income for the current year in its income tax return?

Answers

Answer:

Speed World Cycles

 

a.                                        Average Cost       FIFO              LIFO

Cost of goods sold           $20,100           $19,900       $20,300

Ending inventory              $20,100          $20,300       $19,900

b-1. FIFO will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year, because of the reduced cost of goods sold.

b-2. LIFO minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year, because it reduces the income before taxes.

b-3. Yes.  However, the cost flow assumptions self-correct in later years, by which time it is not allowed to be jumping from one cost flow assumption to another.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase Date    Units Purchased   Unit Cost     Total Cost

July 1                             2                    $ 4,950        $ 9,900

July 22                          3                       5,000          15,000

Aug. 3                           3                        5,100          15,300

Total                             8                                       $ 40,200

July 28 Sold                4                          

September 30            4 (8 - 4)

Average cost = $40,200/8 = $5,025

a-1. Cost of goods sold = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)

Ending inventory = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)

a-2. FIFO:

Ending inventory = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available minus cost of ending inventory

= $40,200 - $20,300

= $19,900

a-3 LIFO:

Cost of goods sold = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)

Ending inventory = Cost of goods available minus cost of goods sold

= = $40,200 - $20,300

= $19,900

The client wants to invest twice as much in AAA bonds as in B bonds. How much should be invested in each type of bond if the total investment is ​$​, and the investor wants an annual return of ​$ on the three investments.

Answers

Answer:

The investor should invest $4,000 in AAA bonds, $3,000 in A bonds, and $2,000 in B bonds.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as all the data in it are omitted. The complete question with the omitted is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:

An investment firm recommends that a client invest in bonds rated AAA, A, and B. The average yield on AAA bonds is 5%, on A bonds 6%, and on B bonds 9%. The client wants to invest twice as much in AAA bonds as in B bonds. How much should be invested in each type of bond under the following conditions? How much should be invested in each type of bond if the total investment is $9,000, and the investor wants an annual return of $560 on the three investments.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

From the question, we have:

AAA = 2B

Total investment is therefore as follows:

2B + A + B = $9,000

3B + A = $9,000 …………………………. (1)

Annual return is also as follows:

(5% * 2B) + (6% * A) + (9% * B) = $560

0.1B + 0.06A + 0.09B = $560

0.1B + 0.09B + 0.06A = $560

0.19B + 0.06A = $560 …………………. (2)

From equation (1), we have:

A = $9,000 – 3B …………………………. (3)

Substituting A from equation (3) into equation (2), we have:

0.19B + 0.06($9,000 – 3B) = $560

0.19B + 540 – 0.18B = $560

0.19B  – 0.18B = $560 - $540

0.01B = $20

B = $20 / 0.01

B = $2,000

Since:

AAA = 2B

Therefore, we have:

AAA = 2 * $2,000

AAA = $4,000

Substituting B = $2,000 into equation (3), we have:

A = $9,000 – (3 * $2,000)

A = $9,000 - $6,000

A = $3,000

By implication, we have total investment as follows:

AAA + A + B = $4,000 + $3,000 + $2,000 = $9,000

Therefore, the investor should invest $4,000 in AAA bonds, $3,000 in A bonds, and $2,000 in B bonds.

Marigold Corp. purchased a new machine on May 1, 2012 for $558000. At the time of acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $22800. The company has recorded monthly depreciation using the straight-line method. On March 1, 2021, the machine was sold for $71400. What should be the loss recognized from the sale of the machine

Answers

Answer:

$18,300 loss

Explanation:

Profit or Loss on sale of an asset is calculated in the asset`s disposal account. Simply stated, Profit or Loss on sale is Cash Receipt from sale less Carrying Amount of an asset.

where,

Accumulated depreciation = $428,160 + 40,140 = $468,300

Carrying Amount = $558000 - $468,300 = $89,700

therefore

Profit or Loss on sale = $71400 - $89,700 = $18,300 loss
