Answer:
$242
Explanation:
If a company has a balance of $22,000 in accounts receivables of which $2,200 is more than 30days overdue, amount of receivables below 30days overdue
= $22,000 - $2,200
= $19,800
Allowance for doubtful debt
= (1.0% × $19,800 + 12% × $2,200)
= $198 + $264
= $462
Additional allowance required
= $462 - $220
= $242
This is the amount t of bad debts as the credit could be posted to allowance for
doubtful debt and the debit to bad debt account

Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:
= Change in consumption / Change in income
where,
Change in consumption = $18 billion
Change in income = $20 billion
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
= $18 billion / $20 billion
= 0.9
Therefore, MPC is 0.9.
Lauer Corporation uses the periodic inventory system and has provided the following information about one of its laptop computers: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 220 $ 920 5/5 Purchase 320 $ 1,020 8/10 Purchase 420 $ 1,120 10/15 Purchase 260 $ 1,170 During the year, Lauer sold 1,050 laptop computers. What was ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption
Answer:
$198,900
Explanation:
Ending inventory units = Available units for sale - Units sold
Ending inventory units = 220 + 320 + 420 + 260
Ending inventory units = 1,220.
Units sold = 1,050.
Ending inventory units = 1,220 - 1,050
Ending inventory units = 170
As per the FIFO cost flow assumption, sales comprise of units from beginning inventory and earlier purchases. Hence, ending inventory comprises units from latest purchases.
So, ending inventory of 170 units would be valued at the price from 10/15 purchases.
10/15 purchase price per unit = $1,170
Ending inventory value = 170 units x $1,170
Ending inventory value = $198,900

Stock Market Rising Market Stable Market Falling Expected Value
Probability 60% 30% 10%
SUA $68,082*60% $47,373*30% $36,362*10% = $58,697
YSP $64,850*60% $49,320*30% $44,865*10% = 58,163
HTC $57,198*60% $52,949*30% $50,605*10% = 55,264
YHA $59,766*60% $59,766*30% $59,766*10% = 59,766
SUA = $40,849.20 + $14,211.90 + $3,636.20 = $58,697.30
YSP = $38,880 + $14,796 + $4,486.50 = $58,162.50
HTC = $34,318.80 + $15,884.70 + $5,060.50 = $55,264
YHA = $35,859.60 + $17,929.80 + $5,976.60 = $59,766

you observe thundering herd common stoc k selling for $40.00 per share. the next dividen is ecoected to be $2.00, and is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate forever. If your requir4ed rate of return is 12%, you should purchase the stock? A. Yes, because the presemt value of the expected future cash flows is greater than $40 g
Answer:
no, because the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than $40
Explanation:
The computation of the share price present value is given below:
= Next dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2 ÷ (12% - 4%)
= $25
As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased

Answer:
I commend the governments of Peachtree City and Fayette County for their recent intervention, which will be beneficial to our economy. Earlier, the city reduced the water level in the lake so that people who live on the lake could maintain the shoreline. When the council started to refill the lake, city staff noted problems with the dam and spillway and brought it to the attention of Fayette County. There were financial constraints to completing this project, but the Peachtree City government decided to spend additional money to finish the project. That was the right course of action. The residents’ properties (and property values) have been restored, and the lake will once again draw visitors to the town to enjoy the lake and spend money in our town’s businesses.

Use the following information to answer Questions 12 - 15. Below is selected data for Gertup Corporation as of 12/31/05: Gertup has maintained the same inventory levels throughout 2005. If end of year inventory turnover was increased to 12 through more efficient relationships with suppliers, how much cash would be freed up (pick closest number)
Answer:
the cash that should be freed up is $267
Explanation:
The computation of the cash that would be freed up is shown below:
As we know that
The inventory turnover is
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
12 = $14,800 ÷ average inventory
So, the average inventory is 1,233
Now the cash that should be freed up is
= 1,500 - 1,233
= $267
hence, the cash that should be freed up is $267

What is the present value of this annuity if the discount rate is 12%
Answer:
Present value of annuity = $102,785.2
Explanation:
An annuity is a series of cashflow expected to be received or paid yearly for a certain number of years
The present value of annuity = A×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n) )/r
Where A is the annual cash flow= 25,000
n- number of years = 6
r- rate per period = 12%
25,000 × 1- (1.12)^(-6)/0.12
25,000× 4.111=$102,785.2
Present value of annuity = $102,785.2
Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000 (26,000 units), actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance.)
Answer: Check attachment
Explanation:
The flexible budget performance report for the year has been solved and attached.
Note that the selling price per unit was calculated as:
= 400,000 /20,000
= $20 per unit
Therefore, total sales was gotten as:
= 26000 × $20
= $520,000
Variable cost per unit was calculated as:
= 80,000/20,000
= $4 per unit
Then, total cost was:
= $4 × 26,000
= $104,000

The accountant at Blackjack Company is figuring out the difference in income taxes the company will pay depending on the choice of either FIFO or LIFO as an inventory costing method. The tax rate is 30% and the FIFO method will result in income before taxes of $3,640. The LIFO method will result in income before taxes of $3,290. What is the difference in tax that would be paid between the two methods
Answer: $105
Explanation:
Taxes under LIFO:
= LIFO income * Tax rate
= 3,290 * 30%
= $987
Taxes under FIFO:
= FIFO income * Tax rate
= 3,640 * 30%
= $1,092
Difference:
= FIFO tax - LIFO tax
= $105

The D. Dorner Farms Corporation is considering purchasing one of two fertilizer-herbicides for the upcoming year. The more expensive of the two is better and will produce a higher yield. Assume these projects are mutually exclusive and that the required rate of return is 10 percent. Given the following free cash flows:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$5000 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Required:
a. Calculate the NPV of each project.
b. Calculate the PI of each project.
c. Calculate the IRR of each project.
d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, which project should be selected? If there is a capital-rationing constraint, how should the decision be made?
Question Correction:
The question stated that there is a more expensive fertilizer-herbicide. Therefore, their initial outlays cannot be equal as stated. Instead, the correct cash flows, including initial outlays are:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Answer:
The D. Dorner Farms Corporation
Product A Product B
a. NPV = $136 $454
b. PI = 1.272 1.091
c. IRR = 27.2% 9.08%
d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, Project B should be chosen despite its poor PI and IRR performances, but for returning a larger NPV.
e. If there is a capital-rationing constraint, Project A should be chosen because of its more impressive PI and IRR performances.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Required rate of return for the projects = 10%
Present factor of 10% for 1 year = 0.909
Free cash flows:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Present values:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 636 5,454
NPV = $136 $454
b) PI (Profitability Index) is a useful tool in capital budgeting which measures the profit potential of a project in order to ease decisions. It is computed by dividing the present value of cash inflows by the initial investment cost. Another formula is: 1 + (NPV/Initial outlay).
Therefore, the PI for each project is calculated as follows:
PI = 1+ (NPV/Initial outlay)
Product A Product B
PI = 1 + ($136/$500) 1 + ($454/$5,000)
= 1.272 1.091
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) = NPV/Initial Outlay
Product A Product B
IRR = $136/$500 * 100 $454/$5,000 * 100
= 27.2% 9.08%
