The management of Lanzilotta Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $191,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $108,000, which includes depreciation of $21,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $26,200. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to :___________

Answers

Answer:

1 year 5 month

Explanation:

The Project Cash flow Summary is as follows :

Year 0 = -$191,000

Year 1 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 2 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 3 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 4 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 5 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 6 = $108,000 + $21,000 + $26,200 = $155,200

Payback Period is the term used to determine how long the future cash flows would equal the amount invested.

$191,000 = $129,000 + 62,000/ $129,000 x 12

The future cash flows will equal $191,000 in 1 year 5 months.

A newly formed company purchases investments classified as available-for-sale securities at a cost of $13,000. At the end of the year, the market value of the securities was $11,000. The financial statements at the end of the year would show which of the following?
A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet
B. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
C. Income Statement loss of $2,000 Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
D. Loss of $2,000 on the income statement Temporary investments of $11,000 on the balance sheet

Answers

Answer: A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.

Explanation:

Available-For-Sale (AFS) securities are not to have their gains or losses reflected in the income statement. They are to be reflected in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) section of the Stockholders Equity.

If there is a loss, the AFS security is written down by the loss amount which is then transferred to the OCI section of equity as an unrealized loss. It will reduce the OCI which would reduce the stockholders equity.

In this case therefore, AFS would go to $11,000 and OCI would record an unrealized loss of $2,000.

Cal Poly Corporation would like to start a new project: building a high-tech rose float for the next regional contest. This rose float project will require $35,000 in the initial cost. The company is planning to raise this amount of money by selling new corporate bonds and new stocks. It has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, and 40 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock is 7%, and for new debt it is 4%.
(a) The true required initial investment that Cal Poly Corporation should use in its valuation of the rose is:_____.
1. $36,920.
2. $36,820.
3. $35,000.
4. $33,180.
(b) The lower the flotation costs, the lower the initial investment that needs to be used in project valuation, and so the lower the project's Net Present Value. This statement is____.
1. True
2. False

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

a.

Given that

Weight of Equity = 0.4

Weight of Debt = 0.6

The Flotation cost of Capital = Weight of Equity × Flotation cost of Equity + Weight of Debt × Flotation cost of Debt

= 7 × 0.4 + 4 × 0.6

= 5.2

Now  

True cost is

= initial investment ÷ (1 - flotation cost %)

=  $35,000 ÷ (1 - 0.052)

= $36,920

b

In the case when there is a less flotation cost so it would decreased the initial investment due to this there would be an increase in net present value

the total surface area of hemisphere is 4158sq then what is the circumference of the base

Answers

Answer:

C = 132 units

Explanation:

Given the following data;

TSA of hemisphere = 4158 sq units

To find the circumference of the base;

Mathematically, the total surface area of a hemisphere is given by the formula;

TSA of hemisphere = 3πr²

First of all, we would determine the radius of the hemisphere.

4158 = 3 * 22/7 * r²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

4158 * 7 = 3 * 22 * r²

29106 = 66r²

r² = 29106/66

r² = 441

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

r = √441

r = 21 units

Next, we determine the circumference of the base using the same radius;

Circumference of circle, C = 2πr

C = 2 * 22/7 * 21

C = 924/7

C = 132 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity 7.5 liters per unit Standard price $ 2.00 per liter

Actual production was 3,400 units.

The company used 26,200 liters of direct material.

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (7.5*3,400 - 26,200)*2

Direct material quantity variance= (25,500 - 26,200)*2

Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable

A dwelling with a replacement cost of $150,000 was insured under a Homeowners 3 policy for $105,000 at the time the roof was destroyed by a windstorm. The actual cash value of the loss was $10,000, but it will cost $15,000 to replace the roof. Ignoring any deductible, what will the insurer pay to settle this loss

Answers

Answer: $13125

Explanation:

The amount that the insurer will pay to settle this loss will be calculated thus:

= Insured claim × Insurance value / 80% of replacement value

= 15000 × 105,000 /80% × 150000.

= 15000 × 105,000 / 120000

= 13125

Multiple Choice $66,240. $61,200. $79,200.

Answers

Answer:

Total cost allocated to building = $66,240

Explanation:

Given:

Total amount pay = $170,000 + $14,000 = $184,000

Land appraised amount = $22,000

Building appraised amount = $79,200

Paddleboats appraised price = $118,800

Find:

Total cost allocated to building

Computation:

Total appraisal price = Land appraised amount + Building appraised amount  + Paddleboats appraised price

Total appraisal price = $22,000 + $79,200 + 118,800

Total appraisal price = $220,000

Total cost allocated to building = [Total amount pay / Total appraisal price]Building appraised amount

Total cost allocated to building = [184,000/220,000]79,200

Total cost allocated to building = $66,240

Although the Fed has very strong influence over the money supply, it does not have complete control a.Because the Fed has no idea how much reserves will change when it buys or sells securities. b.Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend. c.Because of unpredictable changes in reserve requirements. d.Because the FOMC meets only twice a year.

Answers

Answer: b. Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend.

Explanation:

The Fed is able to embark on monetary policy that influences the entire country - and the world to some extent - because they have very strong influence over the money supply of the US$.

This influence is not absolute however because as the old adage goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". In other words, the Fed can relax(impose) restrictions to make money more(less) available but they cannot force people to borrow(hold) that money.

They can't force banks either to either hold reserves or lend money out because banks are free to impose their own reserve limits on top of those of the Fed.

A firm has three different investment options. Option A will give the firm $10 million at the end of one year, $10 million at the end of two years, and $10 million at the end of three years. Option B will give the firm $15 million at the end of one year, $10 million at the end of two years, and $5 million at the end of three years. Option C will give the firm $30 million at the end of one year, and nothing thereafter. Which of these options has the highest present value?

a. Option A
b. Option B
c. Option C
c. The depends on the rate of interest, which is not specified here

Answers

I would say that the answer is the second c which is below the first c these answer choices are confusing.

Net Present Value depends on the rate of interest, which is not specified here so we can not take any decision regarding the other options. The correct option is d.

The interest rate applied, which takes into account both the investment's risk and the time value of money, determines the present value of future cash flows. We cannot appropriately calculate the present value or compare the options without knowing the discount rate.

The future cash flows must be discounted to their present value using the proper discount rate in order to determine which option has the highest present value.

Thus, the ideal selection is option d.

A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 36%, while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 16%. The correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is 0.30. Stock A comprises 30% of the portfolio, while stock B comprises the rest of the portfolio. What is the standard deviation of the return on this portfolio?

Answers

Answer: 17.7%

Explanation:

Standard deviation of portfolio = √(Weight of A² * Standard deviation of A² + Weight of B² * Standard deviation of B² + 2 * Weight of A * Weight of B * Correlation coefficient of A and B * Standard deviation of A * Standard deviation of B)

= √(30%² * 36%² + 70%² * 16%² + 2 * 30% * 70% * 0.30 * 36% * 16%)

= √0.0314656

= 17.7%

Four Seasons Industries has established direct labor performance standards for its maintenance and repair shop. However, some of the labor records were destroyed during a recent fire. The actual hours worked during August were 2,250, and the total direct labor budget variance was $1,170 unfavorable. The standard labor rate was $14.40 per hour, but recent resignations allowed the firm to hire lower-paid replacement workers for some jobs, and this produced a favorable rate variance of $3,150 for August.
Required
a. Calculate the actual direct labor rate paid per hour during August. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) ual direct labor rate per hour
b. Calculate the dollar amount of the direct labor efficiency variance for August. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). t labor efficiency
c. Calculate the standard direct labor hours allowed for the actual level of activity during August. (Hint: Use the formula for the efficiency variance and solve for the missing information.) Standard direct labor hours

Answers

Answer:

a. Actual labor Rate:

(AR-SR)*Actual hours = Labor rate variance

Labor rate variance/Actual hours =  AR-SR

AR = (Labor rate variance/Actual hours) + SR

Actual rate= (-3,150/2,250) + 14.4

Actual rate = -1.4 + 14.4

Actual rate = 13 per hour

Note: Labor rate variance is -3,150, Standard rate is 14.4 per hour and Actual hours is 2,250.

b. Direct labour efficiency variance = Total direct labour budget variance -  Direct labour rate variance

Direct labour efficiency variance = $1,170 - (-$3,150)

Direct labour efficiency variance = $4,320 Unfavourable

c. Direct Labour efficiency variance = (AH-SH)*SR

4,320 = (2,250 - SH)*14.4

2,250 - Standard hours = 4,320/14.4

2,250 - Standard hours = 300

Standard hours = 2,250 - 300

Standard hours = 1,950
