Citibank is concerned about the interest rate would like to lock in the interest rate it pays by going long an FRA with Bank of America. The FRA specifies that Citibank will borrow at a fixed rate of 0.04 for 6 months on $1 million in 2 years. If the 6 months LIBOR rate proves to be 0.01. Then to settle the FRA, what is the cash flow to Citibank at the end of 2 years
Answer:
"$ 15,000" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Agreed fixed rate,
= 0.04
LIBOR rate,

Sound Tek Inc. manufactures electronic stereo equipment. The manufacturing process includes printed circuit (PC) board assembly, final assembly, testing, and shipping. In the PC board assembly operation, a number of individuals are responsible for assembling electronic components into printed circuit boards. Each operator is responsible for soldering components according to a given set of instructions. Operators work on batches of 50 printed circuit boards. Each board requires 4 minutes of board assembly time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves the assembled boards to the final assembly area. This move takes 12 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each stereo unit requires 20 minutes and is also done in batches of 50 units. A batch of 50 stereos is moved into the test building, which is across the street. The move takes 20 minutes. Before conducting the test, the test equipment must be set up for the particular stereo model. The test setup requires 30 minutes. The units wait while the setup is performed. In the final test, the 50-unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test requires 9 minutes. The completed batch, after all testing, is sent to shipping for packaging and final shipment to customers. A complete batch of 50 units is sent from testing to shipping. The Shipping Department is located next to testing. Thus, there is no move time between these two operations. Packaging and labeling requires 12 minutes per unit.
Required:
Determine the amount of value-added and non-value-added lead time and the value-added ratio in this process for an average stereo unit in a batch of 45 units.
Answer:
A. 45
B.2,235
C. 1.9%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the amount of value-added
VALUE ADDED TIME
PC board Assembly 4
Final Assembly 20
Testing 9
Packaging and labeling 12
Total Value added time 45
Therefore the amount of value-added is 45
B. Calculation to determine non-value-added lead time
NON-VALUE-ADDED LEAD TIME
Wait time for non added value 2,205
[45*(50-1)]
Add Test set up time 30
Wait time 2,235
Therefore The non-value-added lead time is 2,235
C. Calculation to determine the value-added ratio
Value added time 45
Non value added lead time:
Wait time lead time 2,235
Move time lead time 32
(12+20)
Total lead time 2,312
Value added ratio 1.9%
(45/2312*100)
Therefore the value-added ratio is 1.9%

Peck corporation, a foreign subsidiary was acquired by a U.S. corporation on January 1, 2020. Determine the exchange rate used to restate the following accounts at December 31, 2020. Land was purchased on October 1, 2020. Equipment was purchased on February 1, 2020. Inventory was purchased on October 1, 2020 (reported at cost) Relevant exchange dates follow: (A) January 1, 2020 (B) October 1, 2020 (C) December 31, 2020 (D) Average, 2020 (E) February 1, 2020 Identify the exchange rate used to translate inventory when the functional currency is the foreign currency.
Answer:
Land, Equipment, and Inventory will be restated on the closing date i.e. December 31, 2020. The rate of the currency exchange from local to foreign currency for equipment is on the day of purchase which is February 1, 2020.
Explanation:
1-Balance sheet items are restated on the closing date.
2-P & L items are restated on the transaction date.
As the items Land, Equipment and Inventory are all the balance sheet items, thus they will be stated on the closing date i.e. December 31, 2020.
Furthermore, the functional currency is foreign currency. Since the equipment is purchased in the domestic currency it has to be translated into the foreign currency at the rate as on the date of purchase i.e; February 1, 2020.
Suppose that the tax rate on personal income, tp, is equal to 40%; the corporate tax rate, tc, is equal to 35%; and the capital gains tax rate, tcg, is 20%. Also assume that the before-tax rate of return on investment to both the corporate and partnership form is 15% per year. These tax rates and investment returns are constant over time. On the basis of these facts, identify the following as true or false. (Support your answers with numerical examples.)
a. The annualized after-tax rate of return to investing in the corporate form increases with the length of the investor’s holding period. Explain.
b. The annualized after-tax rate of return to investing in the partnership form increases with the length of the partner’s holding period. Explain.
c. If a corporation paid out its entire after-tax profits as fully taxable dividends each year, shareholders would realize a lower before-tax rate of return than if the corporation retained the after-tax profits. Explain.
d. Because the corporate tax rate is below the personal tax rate, the corporate form is always preferred to the partnership form.
e. Because corporate income is subject to two levels of taxation, the partnership form is always preferred to the corporate form.
Solution :
a). The annualization after the tax returns by the investment in corporate from increases with a period of holding. It is true.
The reason is that the profits of the corporate are being taxed at a percentage of 35% instead of being taxed at 40% in the hands of the individual.
b). The statement is false because the annualization return on the investment would be less as the income of the firm will be taxed at the hands of individual for a rate of a personal income that is 40%. So after the annualization return of tax would be less tha in case of the partnership firm.
c). The statement is true. This is because the after the tax profit is distributed to the share holders that are again subjected to the tax in hands of the individual tax payer at 205 to 23.8%. But when the retained earnings are not given off as the dividends, then the net value of the shares will increase there by increasing the capital gains on the sales of the shares which are taxed at lower rate of 20%.
d). This statement is false. It is not that always the corporate firms are preferred, and as the dividends are again subjected to the tax at some different rates that depends on the tax rate of the personal incomes.
e) The statement is true. The corporate income is subjected to any two taxation levels so that the partnership firm is always preferred to corporate firm.

A firm is about to begin pilot plant operation on a process it has developed. One item of optional equipment that could be obtained is a heat exchanger unit. The company finds that a unit now available for $30,000 could be used in other company operations. It is estimated that the heat exchanger unit will be worth $35,000 at the end of 8 years. This seemingly high salvage value is due primarily to the fact that the $30,000 purchase price is really a rare bargain. If the firm believes 15% is an appropriate rate of return, what annual benefit is needed to justify the purchase of the heat exchanger unit
Answer:
$4,135.75
Explanation:
Let x be the annual benefit.
Year Cash flow D.F. at 15% Cumulative
0 -30000
1 X 0.869565217 0.869565217
2 X 0.756143667 1.625708885
3 X 0.657516232 2.283225117

8 X 0.326901774 4.487321508
8 35000 0.326901774
Present value of outflow = Present value of Inflow
By equating we get, 30000 = (35000 * 0.326902) + 4.487322x
30000 = 11441.57 + 4.487322x
4.487322x = 30000 - 11441.57
4.487322x = 18558.43
x = 18558.43/4.487322
x = 4135.747334378946
x = 4135.75
So, annual benefit is $4,135.75

Target profit margin (on both labor and materials) $ 33 %
1. Compute the price (rate) per hour of direct labor. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the materials markup (in %).
3. What price should the company quote for a job requiring five labor hours and $670 in parts? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Compute the price (rate) per hour of direct labor.
This will be:
= [45 + (185,300 / 10,900)]× 1.33
= (45 + 17) × 1.33
= 62 × 1.33
= $82.46
2. Compute the materials markup.
This will be:
= =(355,300 / 2090,000) + 33%
= 0.17 + 33%
= 17% + 33%
= 50%
3. What price should the company quote for a job requiring five labor hours and $670 in parts?
This will be:
= (670 × 1.5) + (82.46 × 5)
= 1005 + 412.3
= $1417.30

Exercise 17-09 a-b (Video) (Part Level Submission) Oriole, Inc. manufactures two products: missile range instruments and space pressure gauges. During April, 50 range instruments and 200 pressure gauges were produced, and overhead costs of $88,010 were estimated. An analysis of estimated overhead costs reveals the following activities. Activities Cost Drivers Total Cost 1. Materials handling Number of requisitions $37,080 2. Machine setups Number of setups 28,710 3. Quality inspections Number of inspections 22,220 $88,010 The cost driver volume for each product was as follows. Cost Drivers Instruments Gauges Total Number of requisitions 390 640 1,030 Number of setups 200 295 495 Number of inspections 240 265 505 Collapse question part (a) Determine the overhead rate for each activity
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the overhead rate for each activity is shown below
For machine handling
= $37,080 ÷ 1,030
= $36 per unit
For machine setups
= $28,710 ÷ 495
= $58 per unit
For Quality inspections
= $22,220 ÷ 505
= $44 per unit
In this way, the overhead rate for each activity would be determined
The same would be relevant
The company owns 9,000 acres of timberland purchased two years ago at a cost of $1,400 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land without the timber was valued at $400 per acre. In the current year, the company built fire lanes and roads, with a life of 30 years, at a cost of $84,000. Every year, the company sprays to prevent disease at a cost of $3,000 per year and spends $7,000 to maintain the fire lanes and roads. During the current year, the company selectively logged and sold 700,000 board feet of timber, of the estimated 3,500,000 board feet. Next year, the company will plant new seedlings to replace the trees cut at a cost of $100,000. What is the cost of timber sold related to depletion during the current year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the depreciation expenses
Depreciation expense = Cost / life = $84,000 / 30 = $2,800 per year

Depreciation by Three Methods; Partial Years
Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $43,470. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 6,480 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,350. The equipment was used for 1,200 hours during Year 1, 2,300 hours in Year 2, 1,900 hours in Year 3, and 1,080 hours in Year 4.
Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.
Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
a. Straight-line method.
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 10,530
2 14,040
3 14,040
4 3,510
b. Units-of-production method.
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 7,800
2 14,950
3 12,350
4 7,020
c. Double-declining balance method
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 21,735
2 14,490
3 4,830
4 1,065
Explanation:
(a) the straight-line method
Note: See part a of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for Straight-line method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Straight-line method is calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 3 = 0.3333, or 33.33%
(b) units-of-output method
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for units-of-production method.
(c) the double-declining-balance method.
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for double-declining-balance method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Double- declining-balance method is calculated as follows:
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = (1/3) * 2 = 0.666667, or 66.6667%
Note:
Under this double-declining-balance method, the depreciation expenses for Year 4 is calculated by deducting the residual value of $1,350 from the Year 4 Beginning depreciable amount (i.e. $2,415 - $1,350 = $1,065). The residual value of $1,350 therefore represents the book value at the end of Year 4.
During year 3, Orca Corp. decided to change from the FIFO method of inventory valuation to the weighted-average method. Inventory balances under each method were as follows: FIFO Weighted-average January 1, year 3 $71,000 $77,000 December 31, year 3 $79,000 $83,000 Orca's income tax rate is 30%. In its year 3 financial statements, what amount should Orca report as the gain or loss on the cumulative effect of this accounting change
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since the inventory method changes that means there is no cumulative effect treatment to be done on the income statement. Rather this, the change in the accounting is mentioned, so the retrospective application to the early period would be presented
So neither there would be gain nor loss for this change in the accounting
Hence, the answer should be zero

The net income reported on the income statement of Whispering Winds Corp. for the current year was $1251000. Depreciation recorded on plant assets was $236000. Accounts receivable and inventories increased by $66000 and $44000, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable decreased by $6000 and $61000, respectively. How much cash was provided by operating activities during the year
Answer:
$1,454,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much cash was provided by operating activities during the year
Using this formula
Operating activities=Net income+Depreciation+ Increased in Accounts receivable -Increased in inventories + Decreased in Prepaid expenses - Decreased in accounts payable
Let plug in the formula
Operating activities=$1251000 + $236000 -$66000 - $44000 +$6000 - $61000
Operating activities=$1,454,000
Therefore the amount of cash was provided by operating activities during the year is $1,454,000
