The First National Bank has total deposits of $675,000 and excess reserves of $22,300. If the required reserve ratio is 9 percent, the First National Bank has total reserves of:
Answer: $83050
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the total reserves of First National Bank will be given as follows:
Total deposit = $675000
The Required reserve ratio will be:
= 675000 × 9%
= 675000 × 9/100
= $60750
Since the bank has excess reserves of $22,300, then the total reserve will be:
= $60750 + $22300
= $83050
Eighteen-year ACRS nonresidential real property owned by an individual has accumulated accelerated depreciation of $975,000 at January 1, of this year. This property is sold on January 1, this same year. The original cost of the property was $975,000. The sale price was $1,000,000. The amount of the realized and recognized gain is:
Answer:
Gain= $1,000,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the book value:
Book value= original cost - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 975,000 - 975,000
Book value= 0
Now, to calculate the gain or:
Gain/loss= selling price - book value
Gain= 1,000,000 - 0
Gain= $1,000,000
Synergy Inc. has reported the following operating information for one of its divisions: Sales revenue $150,000 Operating income $30,000 Operating assets $375,000 Calculate the division's margin, turnover, and ROI.
Answer:
Division's margin = 20%
Turnover = 40%
Return On Investment = 8%
Explanation:
Given:
Sales revenue = $150,000
Operating income = $30,000
Operating assets = $375,000
Find:
Division's margin
Turnover
Return On Investment
Computation:
Division's margin = [Operating income / Sales revenue]100
Division's margin = [30,000 / 150,000]100
Division's margin = 20%
Turnover = [Sales revenue / Operating assets]100
Turnover = [150,000 / 375,000]100
Turnover = 40%
Return On Investment = Division's margin x Turnover
Return On Investment = 20% x 40%
Return On Investment = 8%

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $88 per share, paid a dividend of $2.10 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $96. Compute the percentage total return.
Answer:
Percentage total return = 0.1147 or 11.47%
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for a percentage of total return:
The initial price of share = $88
Dividend amount = $2.10
Ending price of share = $96
Use the below formula to find the percentage return:
Percentage total return = [(Ending price - initial price) + Dividend amout] ÷ Initial price
Percentage total return = [(96 - 88) + 2.10] / 88
Percentage total return = 0.1147 or 11.47%
At the end of a reporting period, ABC determines that its ending inventory has a cost of $300,000 and a net realizable value of $230,000. What would be the effect(s) of the adjustment to write down inventory to net realizable value?
A) Decrease total assets.
B) Decrease net income.
C) Decrease total assets and net income.
D) Increase retained earnings.
Answer:
Decrease total assets and net income.
Explanation:
There is an inventory write down because the value of inventory has decreased. The net realizable value of inventory is less than its cost.
Inventory write down involves expensing a part of the inventory asset in the current period.
As a result of the write down, inventory would decrease. Inventory is part of total assets. Thus, total assets would decrease
Also, cost would increase because of the write down and so net income would decrease.

The management of Milque Corp. is considering the effects of various inventory-costing methods on its financial statements and its income tax expense. Assuming that the price the company pays for inventory is increasing, which method will: (a) provide the highest net income
Answer:
Milque Corp.
FIFO will provide the highest net income when the price of inventory is increasing.
Explanation:
The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles recognize four main methods to compute Cost of Goods Sold and Ending Inventory for a period. They are:
First In, First Out (FIFO): This is based on the assumption that companies sell first the inventory that they bought first.
Last In, First Out (LIFO): This method assumes that companies sell first the inventory that they bought last.
Weighted Average Cost (WAC): This inventory method assumes that companies average the costs of inventory and how much they sell over the period by dividing the cost of goods available for sale by the total physical inventory units.
Specific Identification: This method does not make any assumptions. It directly identifies the product being sold and prepares costing calculations based on the specific inventory items.
Owner Shan Lois considering franchising her Noodles for a restaurant concept. She believes people will pay $ 10.50 for a large bowl of noodles. Variable costs are $ 6.30 per bowl.Lo estimates monthly fixed costs for a franchise at $10,500.Requirements1. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to find afranchise's breakeven sales in dollars.2. Lo believes most locations could generate $63,000 in monthly sales. Is franchising a good idea for Lo if franchisees want a minimum monthly operating income of 13,500?
Answer:
Selling price = $10.50
Variable cost = $6.30
Fixed cost = $10,500
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost = $10.50 - $6.30 = $4.20
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin/Selling price = $4.20/$10.50 = 0.4 = 40%
1. Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Break even sales = $10,500 / 40%
Break even sales = $10,500 / 0.40
Break even sales = $26,250
2. Break even sales = (Fixed cost + Operating income) / Contribution margin ratio
Break even sales = ($10,500 + $13,500) / 40%
Break even sales = $24,000 / 0.40
Break even sales = $60,000
Lo believes most locations could generate $63,000 in monthly sales.
Observation: The monthly sales is greater than the breakeven, so the monthly sales is the best choice.
Jill starts at a salary of $30,000 per year and receives benefits that cost the company 50% of her salary. She gets 12 weeks of training, 2 weeks of vacation, and 10 paid holidays. Using 52 weeks per year, 40 hours per week, 8 hours per day, and not counting the trainer's cost, how much does it cost the company for every DAY in the first year that she is available to help a customer
Answer:
$250 per day
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much does it cost the company for every DAY in the first year that she is available to help a customer
Cost =(30,000 + 15,000)*[(52 weeks- 2 weeks - 12 weeks)x 5 days- 10 day holidays]
Cost = $45,000 per year*(38 weeks×5 days- 10 day holidays)
Cost = $45,000 per year*180 days
Cost = $250 per day
Therefore how much does it cost the company for every DAY in the first year that she is available to help a customer is $250 per day

The Andrews company currently has the following balances in their equity accounts: Common Stock $59,934 Retained earnings $32,340 Suppose next year the Andrews company generates $46,300 in Net Profit, and declares and pays $16,000 in Dividends. What will Andrews ending balance in Retained Earnings be next year
Answer:
the ending balance of the retained earnings is $62,640
Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the retained earnings is shown below:
= Opening retained earning + net profit - dividends paid
= $32,340 + $46,300 - $16,000
= $62,640
hence, the ending balance of the retained earnings is $62,640
The above formula should be used
On July 5, a stock index futures contract was at 394.85. The index was at 392.54, the risk free rate was 2.83 percent, the dividend yield was 2.08 percent, and the contract expired on September 20. Determine whether an arbitrage opportunity was available and explain what transactions were executed.
Solution :
Given :
The stock index contracts at = $ 394.85
Index = $ 392.54
Risk fee rate = 2.83 %
Dividend = 2.08 %
Now take long position on the index at $ 392.54 per share
After 75 days, they have to pay $ 392.54 + 392.54 x 2.83 x 75/365
= $ 394.823
Take s short position on the stock index futures contract on $ 394.85 per share.
Dividends received = $ 392.54 x 2.08%
= $ 8.164
Therefore, there is an arbitrage opportunity.
Recall that since stocks have really long lives, in the video we first imagined owning a stock for only one period. In this simple, yet powerful scenario, today's stock price is the PV of next year's dividend and next year's stock price.) The stock of Alydar Oil, an all-equity firm, is currently trading at $30 per share, after just having paid a $2.60 per share dividend. The market expects a dividend of $3.30 per share to be paid one year from today. If the equity cost of capital (same as discount rate for equity) is 13% for this firm, the expected ex-dividend price (the stock price after the dividend is paid next year) in one year (t = 1) should be closest to:_______.a) $32.77b) $30.60c) $33.90d) $31.30
Answer:
Option b ($30.6) is the correct option.
Explanation:
Given:
Current price,
= $30
Required rate,
= 13%
Expected dividend,
= 3.30
Now,
The expected ex-dividend will be:
= [tex]Current \ price\times (1+ Required \ rate) - Expected \ dividend[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
= [tex]30\times (1+13 \ percent)-3.30[/tex]
= [tex]30\times 1.13-3.30[/tex]
= [tex]33.9-3.30[/tex]
= [tex]30.6[/tex] ($)
Country Alpha has 15 thousand acres of land and 45 thousand laborers, whereas Country Beta has 100 thousand acres of land and 200 thousand laborers. These countries produce a labor-intensive good A, and a land-intensive good B.
Based on the information given, we can conclude that:
If trade opens up between Country Alpha and Country Beta, according to the Heckscher-Ohlin model, Country Beta will export _____ and import _____.
a. both the goods; neither good
b. good B; good A
c. good A; good B
d. neither good; both of the goods
Answer: b. good B; good A
Explanation:
According to the Heckscher-Ohlin model, a country should export the good that is has a relative abundance in and import the good it has relative scarcity in.
Find out labor to land ratio of both countries:
Country Alpha = 45 / 15 = 3
Country Beta = 200 / 100 = 2
Country Alpha has 3 labor units per acre
Country Beta has 2 labor units per acre
Country Alpha therefore has more labor abundance and should export the labor intensive good which is good A which means Country B will import A.
Country Beta should export more land intensive good which is good B.

The future earnings, dividends, and common stock price of Callahan Technologies Inc. are expected to grow 8% per year. Callahan's common stock currently sells for $25.25 per share; its last dividend was $1.50; and it will pay a $1.62 dividend at the end of the current year.
1. Using the DCF approach, what is its cost of common equity?
2. If the firm's beta is 0.80, the risk-free rate is 3%, and the average return on the market is 14%, what will be the firm's cost of common equity using the CAPM approach?
3. If the firm's bonds earn a return of 12%, based on the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, what will be rs?
4. If you have equal confidence in the inputs used for the three approaches, what is your estimate of Callahan's cost of common equity?
Answer:
Find my detailed explanations and answers below
Explanation:
1.
Based on the dividend discount model, the share price is the present value of the expected dividend as shown by the formula below:
share price=expected dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)
share price=$25.25
expected dividend=$1.62
cost of equity=unknown(let us assume it is K)
growth rate=8%
$25.25=$1.62/K-8%
$25.25*(K-8%)=$1.62
K-8%=($1.62/$25.25)
K=($1.62/$25.25)+8%
K=14.42%
2.
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the formula for cost of equity is as shown thus:
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(market return-risk-free rate)
risk-free rate=3%
beta=0.80
,market return=14%
cost of equity=3%+0.80*(14%-3%)
cost of equity=11.80%
3.
cost of equity=cost of debt+risk premium
cost of debt=12%
risk premium=market return-risk-free rate=14%-3%=11%
cost of equity=12%+11%=23%
If all of the figures are of equal confidence, our cost of equity should be the average of the three
cost of equity=(14.42%+11.80%+23%)/3=16.41%

Heritage, Inc., had a cost of goods sold of $44,721. At the end of the year, the accounts payable balance was $8,253. How long on average did it take the company to pay off its suppliers during the year
Answer:
Account payable days = 67.36 days
Explanation:
The payable days is the average length of time it takes a business to settle its account payable. It is calculated as thus;
Account payable days = Average account payable / Cost of goods sold × 365
Account payable = $8,253/44,721 × 365
Account payable = 67.36
Therefore, it will take Heritage about 67.36 days to settle its account payable
Swiss Furniture Company manufactures bookshelves and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate all manufacturing conversion costs. The following information is provided for the month of May:
Activity Estimated Indirect Activity Costs Allocation Base Estimated Quantity of Allocation Base
Materials handling $6,300 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Assembling $14,000 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Packaging $2,680 Number of bookshelves 910 bookshelves
Required:
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.What is the total manufacturing cost per bookshelf?
Answer:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 6,300/9,100= $0.69 per part
Assembling= 14,000/9,100= $1.54 per part
Packaging= 2,680/910= $2.95 per bookshelve
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.
Now, we can allocate conversion costs to each unit:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 0.69*10= $6.9
Assembling= 1.54*10= $15.4
Packaging= 2.95*1 = $2.95
Total allocated costs per unit= $25.25
Finally, the total unitary manufacturing cost:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= 32 + 25.25
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25

Note that the present value of each yearly cash inflow can be determined using the formula provided below:
PV of cash inflow=cash inflow/(1+discount rate)^n
n is the year in which the cash inflow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash inflow, 2 for year 2 and so on.
PV of Investment X=$4,020/(1+11%)^1+$4,020/(1+11%)^2+$4,020/(1+11%)^3+$4,020/(1+11%)^4+$4,020/(1+11%)^5+$4,020/(1+11%)^6+$4,020/(1+11%)^7+$4,020/(1+11%)^8+$4,020/(1+11%)^9+$4,020/(1+11%)^10+$4,020/(1+11%)^11+$4,020/(1+11%)^12
PV of investment X=$26,099.27
PV of investment Y=$2,041/(1+11%)^1+$2,041/(1+11%)^2+$2,041/(1+11%)^3+$2,041/(1+11%)^4+$2,041/(1+11%)^5+$2,041/(1+11%)^6+$2,041/(1+11%)^7
PV of investment Y=$9,617.59
the difference in PV=$26,099.27-$9,617.59
the difference in PV=$16,481.68
