Freemore Company has the following sales budget for the last six months of 2018: July $206,000 October $181,000 August 168,000 November 203,000 September 209,000 December 185,000 Sales are immediately due, however the cash collection of sales, historically, has been as follows: 55% of sales collected in the month of sale, 35% of sales collected in the month following the sale, 7% of sales collected in the second month following the sale, and 3% of sales are uncollectible. Cash collections for September are ________. $126,710 $199,930 $188,170 $173,750
Answer:
the cash collection for the September month is $188,170
Explanation:
The computation of the cash collection for the September month is given below:
= September collection + August collection + July collection
= $209,000 ×0.55 + $168,000 × 0.35 + $206,000 × 0.07
= $114,950 + $58,800 + $14,420

hence, the cash collection for the September month is $188,170
Therefore the third option is correct
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 15 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.90 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 8.40 percent
Answer:
$130.97
Explanation:
The value of the firm can be determined by finding the present value of the dividend payments using the two stage dividend growth model
In the 2 stage dividend growth model, dividend is characterised by a fast growth. After this stage , growth in dividend becomes stable
Present value in the first year = (2.90 x 1.15) / 1.084 = $3.08
Present value in the second year = (2.90 x 1.15²) / 1.084² = $3.26
Present value in the third year = (2.90 x 1.15³) / 1.084³ = $3.46
Present value in the fourth year = (2.90 x [tex]1.15^{4}[/tex]) / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $3.67
Present value in the second stage = ($3.67 x 1.06) / (0.084 - 0.06) = $162.24
$162.24 / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $117.50
The value of the stock = sum of present values in the first stage of growth + present value in the second stage of growth
$3.08 + $3.26 + $3.46 + $3.67 + $117.50 = $130.97
At year-end, Chief Company has a balance of $10,000 in accounts receivable of which $1,000 is more than 30 days overdue. Chief has a credit balance of $100 in the allowance for doubtful accounts before any year-end adjustments. Using the aging of accounts receivable method, Chief estimates that 1% of current accounts and 10% of accounts over thirty days are uncollectible. What is the amount of bad debt expense
Answer:
$90
Explanation:
Total accounts receivable = $10,000
Overdue accounts (30 days) = $1,000
Current account = Total accounts receivable - Overdue accounts (30 days) = $10,000 - $1,000 = $9,000
Bad debt expense = Accounts receivable x Percentage estimated as uncollectible - Existing credit balance in accounts receivable
Bad debt expense = ($9,000 * 1%) + ($1,000 * 10%) - $100
Bad debt expense = $90 + $100 - $100
Bad debt expense = $90

In an effort to reduce costs, many regional power companies want to lower their safety stock of electricity transformers. To support this desire, a large transformer OEM will store safety stock of transformers in a FedEx warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee in order to insure quick air delivery to any of these is power companies should the need arise. This collaboration will result in lower overall inventory across the supply chain, making it possible for all parties to lower their costs.
1. The OEM has signed up 14 power companies on this rapid replenishment program. On average, each of these power companies used to hold 38 transformers in their safety stock. In total, how many transformers would these companies hold?
2. To maintain the same service level after this transition, how many units (transformers) would the OEM need to hold (or pool) in the FedEx warehouse?
3. After making this change for these power companies and OEM, by how many units (transformers) will inventory go down?
4. By what percentage would their inventory decrease by consolidating their inventory from the dealerships into the warehouse?
Answer:
1. Total transformers held by power companies = 532
2. The total units of transformers that OEM needs to hold in the FedEx warehouse = 38
3. The inventory of transformers will go down by 494.
4. The percentage of the decrease = 93%.
Explanation:
Power companies signed up on the rapid replenishment program = 14
Average number of transformers held in safety stock by each power company = 38
Total number of transformers in safety stock = 532 (14 * 38)
Number of transformers needed in the FedEx warehouse = 38
Inventory will go down by 494 (532 - 38)
Percentage of inventory decrease = 93% (494/532 * 100)
what is meant by price discrimination and why is it important to monopolies?
Answer:
A discriminating monopoly is a single entity that charges different prices—typically, those that are not associated with the cost to provide the product or service—for its products or services for different consumers. Non-discriminating monopolies, on the other hand, do not engage in such a practice.

Bank statement balance = $82,500
Outstanding checks = $11,317
Credit memorandum $18,000
Collection fee $45
Check 1115 for Rent Expense of $1,350 transposed as $1,050 = $300 ($1,350 - $1050)
Uncredited deposits = $41,750
Interest earned = $28
Cash Account Adjustment:
Cash account debit balance $95,250
Debit:
Credit memorandum 18,000
Interest earned 28
Credit:
Collection fee -45
Rent Expense (understated) -300
Adjusted cash account balance $112,933
b) The bank reconciliation statement above was prepared after adjusting the cash account with items that were recorded by the bank but not recorded by Cole Co. and other misstatements. With the adjusted cash account balance, the bank reconciliation was then carried out with the items that were not recorded by the bank. The resulting figure should agree with the bank statement balance.
First National Bank of America has more than 75% of its assets in first residential fixed-rate mortgages that mature in more than 5 years. Suppose that a 12-month Gap Analysis predicts a decrease in 2021 interest income of $3 million if there is a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates. From your knowledge of the practical flaws in gap analysis, a realistic simulation analysis would predict that:_______.
1. Interest income will drop by more than $3 million for a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates
2. Interest income will drop by less than $3 million for a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates
Answer:
2. Interest income will drop by less than $3 million for a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that there is decrease in 2021 interest income of $3 million in the case when there is a sudden decline of 1% in the rate of interest of the market this is due to the convexity of the curve as the GAP analysis and assume straight line
So the option 2 is correct
On January 1, 2021, Cori Ander Herbs granted restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 300,000 of its $1 par common shares to executives, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years. After the recipients of the RSUs satisfy the vesting requirement, the company will distribute the shares. The common shares had a market price of $12 per share on the grant date. At the date of grant, the company anticipated that 6% of the recipients would leave the firm prior to vesting. In 2022, 2% of the options are forfeited due to executive turnover. The company chooses the option not to estimate forfeitures. What amount should the company record as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022
Answer: $1,152,000
Explanation:
Compensation Expense = [(No. of RSUs * Market Value per share) * Years elapsed / Total period] - Compensation expense already recorded
Year 1 - 2021
= [ ( 300,000 * 12) * 1/3] - 0
= $1,200,000
Year 2 - 2020
2% of the options have been forfeited so the RSUs left are:
= 300,000 * ( 1 - 2%)
= 294,000 RSUs
Compensation expense = [ (294,000 * 12) * 2/3] - 1,200,000
= $1,152,000

Blossom Chemicals Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $32,800 on January 1, 2022. The truck is expected to have a salvage value of $4,200 at the end of its 4-year useful life. Assuming the declining-balance depreciation rate is double the straight-line rate, compute annual depreciation for the first and second years under the declining-balance method.
Answer:
$16400
$8200
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation factor = 2/4 = 0.5
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.5 x $32,800 = $16,400
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $32,800 - $16,400 = $16400
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 x $16,400= $8200

Sue Bee Honey is one of the largest processors of its product for the retail market. Assume that one of its plants has annual fixed costs totaling $12,000,000, of which $4,500,000 is for administrative and selling efforts. Sales are anticipated to be 800,000 cases a year. Variable costs for processing are $30 per case, and variable selling expenses are 25 percent of selling price. There are no variable administrative expenses. If the company desires a profit of $7,500,000, what is the selling price per case? Round answer to two decimal places.
$ 0 price per case
Answer: $72.50
Explanation:
Let the selling price per case be represented by x.
Based on the information you can in the question, we will have an equation as:
(80000 × x) = 12,000,000 + 7,500,000 + (800,000 × 30) + (0.25 × 800000x
800000x = 12,000,000 + 7,500,000
+ (800,000 × 30) + (0.25 × 800000x)
800000x = 43500000 + 200000x
Collect like terms
800000x - 200000x = 43,500,000
600,000x = 43500000
x = 43,500,000 / 600,000
x = 72.50
Selling price per case is $72.50
Which of the following is false regarding a section 83(b) election? Multiple Choice The election must be made within 30 days of the grant date. The election is an important tax-planning tool if the stock is expected to increase in value. The election freezes the value of the employee's compensation as of the grant date. If an employee leaves before the vesting date, any loss is limited to $3,000.
Answer:
D) If an employee leaves before the vesting date, any loss is limited to $3,000.

The 83(b) election can be regarded as
provision made under the Internal Revenue Code, which provide an option for an employee as well as startup founder to pay their taxes on the total fair market value of restricted stock within the granting time. 83(b) election can as well be applied to equity which is subjected to vesting, and Internal Revenue Service will be alerted so the body can tax the elector for the ownership at granting time instead of time of stock vesting.
It should be noted that in section 83(b) election
✓The election freezes the value of the employee's compensation as of the grant date.
✓The election must be made within 30 days of the grant date.
✓ The election is an important tax-planning tool if the stock is expected to increase in value.

Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Computation of free cash flow for Monach textiles, 2017
EBIT = EBT + Interest expense EBIT
EBIT = $408 + $50
EBIT = $458
Tax rate = Tax / EBT
Tax rate = $163.20 / $408
Tax rate = 0.4 = 40%
Operating cash flow = EBIT × (1 - Tax rate) + Depreciation - Change in net working capital - Capital expenditure
= $458 × (1 - 0.4) + $82 - ($640 - $360) - ($460 - $280)
= $274.8 + $82 - $280 - $180
= $274.8 + $92 - $100

Explanation:
The plant manager has asked you to do a cost analysis to determine when currently owned equipment should be replaced. The manager stated that under no circumstances will the existing equipment be retained longer than two more years and that once it is replaced, a contractor will provide the same service from then on at a cost of $97,000 per year. The salvage value of the currently owned equipment is estimated to be $37,000 now, $30,000 in 1 year, and $19,000 two years from now. The operating cost is expected to be $85,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 10% per year, determine when the defending equipment should be retired. Annual Worth of Defender, Year 1
Answer:
Year 1 Annual Worth of Defender -$95,700
Explanation:
Calculation to determine when the defending equipment should be retired
Year 1 Total Annual worth=-$37,000(AP 10%,1)-$85,000+($30,000 (AP 10%,1)
Year 1 Total Annual worth=-$37,000(1.10)-$85,000+$30,000(1.000)
Year 1 Total Annual worth= -$95,700
Therefore Total Annual worth of currently owned equipment for year 1 is -$95,700
Year 2 Total Annual worth=-$37,000(AP 10%,2)-$85,000+($30,000 (AP 10%,2)
Year 2 Total Annual worth=-$37,000(0.57619)-$85,000+$19,000(0.47619)
Year 2 Total Annual worth=-$97,217

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Bundle A contract = $469
Tablet standalone selling price = $230 (Total = $23,000 ($230 * 100)
Cost of tablet = $157 (Total costs of 100 tablets = $15,700)
Internet access service standalone selling price = $292 (Total = $29,200)
Total standalone selling price per bundle = $522 (Total = $52,200)
Contracts signed = 100
Revenue received = $46,900
Revenue from Tablet = $23,000/$52,200 * $46,900 = $20,665
Revenue from Internet Access = $29,200/$52,200 * $46,900 = $26,235
Annual interest access = $8,745 ($26,235/3)
Bundle B contract = $574
Tablet standalone selling price = $230 (Total = $50,640 ($230 * 220)
Cost of tablet = $157 (Total costs = $34,540 ($257 * 220)
3-year Tablet Service Plan standalone selling price = $145 (Total = $31,900 ($145 * 220)
Internet access service standalone selling price = $292 (Total = $64,240 ($292 * 220)
Total standalone selling price per bundle = $667 (Total = $146,740 ($667 * 220)
Contracts signed = 220
Revenue received = $126,200
Revenue from Tablet = $50,600/$146,740 * $126,280 = $43,545
Revenue from 3-year Tablet Service Plan = $31,900/$146,740 * $126,280 = $27,452
Annual revenue = $9,151 ($27,452/3)
Revenue from Internet Access = $64,240/$146,740 * $126,280 = $55,283
Annual revenue from internet access = $18,428 ($55,283/3)

Compute the Z-scores for the second observation of the following data values: X: 462 490 350 294 574
Answer:
0.5
Explanation:
Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation
Given the data:
X : 462 490 350 294 574
The second observation = 490
The mean and standard deviation of the data could be obtained using a calculator :
Mean = 434
standard deviation = 112
ZSCORE = (490 - 434) / 112
ZSCORE = 56 / 112
ZSCORE = 0.5
