a. True
b. False
To consider the financial statement effects of leasing versus purchasing an asset, review the following case of Shoe Building Inc.
Shoe Building Inc. needs equipment that will cost the company $800. Shoe Building Inc is considering to either purchase the equipment by borrowing $800 from a local bank or leasing the equipment. Assume that the lease will be structured as an operating lease. Some data from Shoe Building Inc.'s current balance sheet prior to the lease or purchase of the equipment are:_____.
1. The company's current debt ratio is _____.
2. If the company purchases the equipment by taking a loan, the total debt in the balance sheet will _____, and the debt ratio will change to _____.
3. If the company leases the equipment, the company's debt ratio will _____ because the lease is not capitalized.
4. In this case, the company's financial risk will be _____ under a lease agreement as compared to the financial risk in purchasing the equipment by taking a loan.
5. However, if the lease is capitalized, the financial risk under the lease agreement will be _____ as compared to the risk in buying the equipment.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Part 1

a). According to the[tex]\text{ FASB-issued statement}[/tex] 13 :

The Assets that are leased under the capital leases or the financial should be reported as the fixed assets on balance sheet.

b). False, the payments on the financial lease should not be treated as the operating expense.

Part 2

1. The debt ratio = [tex]$\frac{2400}{6000} $[/tex]

                           = 0.40

2. The total debt in the balance sheet is 2400 + 800 = $ 3200 whereas debt ratio will change to 0.4706

3. Debt ratio of the company will remain same as the lease will not be capitalized.

4. The financial risk of the company will be less under the the lease agreement as compared [tex]\text{to the financial risk in purchasing the equipment }[/tex] by taking the loan.

5. However, when lease is capitalized, financial risk under lease agreement will remain same as [tex]\text{compared to the risk in buying the equipment.}[/tex]

Galaxy Corp. is considering opening a new division to make iToys that it expects to sell at a price of $15,250 each in the first year of the project. The company expects the cost of producing each iToy to be $6,700 in the first year; however, it expects the selling price and cost per iToy to increase by 3.00% each year.
Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be_______ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be _______.
Which of the following statements about inflation’s effect on net present value (NPV) is correct?
A. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, forgetting to take inflation into account in a capital budgeting analysis will typically cause the estimated NPV to be lower than the true NPV.
B. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, you do not need to take inflation into account when performing a capital budgeting analysis

Answers

Answer:

Galaxy Corp.

1. Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be__$17,172___ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be ___$7,544___.

2. The CORRECT statement about inflation's effect on net present value (NPV) is:

B. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, you do not need to take inflation into account when performing a capital budgeting analysis.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected selling price of iToy = $15,250 per unit

Expected cost of producing iToy = $6,700 per unit

Expected annual increase in selling price and cost per iToy = 3.00%

The expected selling price in the fourth year of the project = $15,250 * (1 + 0.03)^4

= $17,172 ($15,250 * 1.126)

The expected cost per unit in the fourth year of the project = $7,544 (6,700 * 1.126)

Peterkin Inc needs to arrange financing for its expansion program. Sandy Bank offers to lend Peterkin the required funds on a loan in which interest must be paid monthly, and the quoted rate is 6 percent. Money Plus Bank will charge 6.8 percent, with interest due at the end of the year. Which bank should Peterkin take the loan from

Answers

Answer:

Sandy Bank

Explanation:

to determine which bank  Peterkin would prefer a loan from, calculate the effective annual interest rate

the bank with the lower effective annual interest rate would be preferred

Effective annual rate = (1 + APR / m ) ^m - 1

M = number of compounding

Sandy Bank : (1 + 0.06/12)^12 - 1 = 0.062 = 6.2%

Money Plus Bank = 6.8

Sandy bank has a lower effective annual interest rate and would be preferred for the loan

Suppose you had inside information that your employer was thinking about declaring bankruptcy, and you find out that a family member was about to purchase $20,000 in the stock of your employer. To what extent would it be unethical for you to dissuade the family member from making the investment

Answers

Answer: To the extent that Inside Information is not disclosed.

Explanation:

U.S. law prohibits people from being able to disclose inside information so if you pass on the information about the impending bankruptcy to a family member, you would be in violation of this law and if found out, will be punished accordingly.

If however, you advice your family member not to invest based on analysis of the company (of which you must keep detailed records of) using mosaic information which is public information, then you would not have used inside information so it would not be illegal.

A newly constructed water treatment facility cost $2 million. It is estimated that the facility will need renovating every 30 years at a cost of $1 million. Annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $100,000 per year. At an interest rate of 6%, determine the capitalized cost of the facility

Answers

Answer:

$3,876,667

Explanation:

Capitalized cost = $2,000,000 + ($100,000 / 0.06) + [[$1,000,000*(A/F, 6%, 30)] / 0.06]

Capitalized cost = $2,000,000 + $1,666,667 + [$1,000,000*(0.0126)] / 0.06

Capitalized cost = $2,000,000 + $1,666,667 + $210,000

Capitalized cost = $3,876,667

So, the value of the capitalized cost of th e facility is $3,876,667.

The downward slope of the demand curve again illustrates the pattern that as _____________ rises, ______________ decreases.

Answers

Answer:

price; quantity demanded.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal.

According to the law of demand, there exist a negative relationship between the quantity of goods demanded and the price of a good i.e when the prices of goods and services in the market increases or rises: there would be a significant decline or fall in the demand for this goods and services.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

In conclusion, the downward slope of the demand curve again illustrates the pattern that as price of goods and services rises, quantity of goods and services demanded decreases.

Whispering Winds Industries manufactures dining chairs and tables. The following information is available regarding the two products and their estimated use of cost drivers: Dining Chairs Tables Estimated Cost Machine setups 285 685 $49,470 Inspections 335 555 $73,870 Labor hours 2,600 2,400 Whispering Winds is considering switching from one overhead rate based on labor hours to ABC. Perform the following analysis for these two components of overhead: (a) Compute total machine setups and inspection costs assigned to each product, using a single overhead rate. (Round overhead rate value to 3 decimal places, e.g. 52.711 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The calculation of the total machine setups and inspection costs assigned to each product is given below:

Single overhead rate is

= ($49,470 + $73,870) ÷ (2,600 + 2,400)

= $24.668

Now the dining chairs cost is

= $24.668 ×2,600

=$ 64,137

And, for tables, it is

= $24.668 × 2,400

= $59,203

hence, the same should be considered

Answers

Answer:

Income from operation will decrease by $50,000

Explanation:

given data

inventory of a manufactured = 5,000 units

to find out

effect on income from operations

solution

as we know that in the absorption costing both variable cost and fixed cost are included in the cost of production

so that as under variable costing only the variable manufacturing cost are included in the cost

and

if absorption costing is used the inventory level that will be increased  by10 ×  5000 =  $50,000

so Income from operation will decrease by $50,000

so correct option is c.$50,000 decrease

Balance sheet as what that might be will indeed be underestimated. A further explanation is provided below.

A $50,000 automobile has been purchased. This is a level of investment. Throughout acquisition, it should not be recognized as an expense. Yearly trucking depreciation would be to be determined employing the truck's anticipated lifespan.

Depreciation costs, therefore, should have been computed annually and should be reported throughout the statement of financial position. The truck must be reflected minus cumulative depreciation at such market rates somewhere in the accounting records. If somehow the truck gets charged for the purchasing year as well, then the operating earnings of the reporting quarter of the company would decrease dramatically.The truck wouldn't have been reflected on the balance sheet even though it stated at the cost the year of the acquisition.

So the preceding response is correct.

Identify deficiencies in Wagner's participative budgetary policy for planning and performance evaluation purposes

Answers

Question Completion:

Behavioral Considerations and Budgeting Anthony Wagner, the controller in the Division of Transportation for the state, recognizes the im ance of the budgetary process for planning, control, and motivation purposes. He believes that properly implemented participative budgeting process for planning purposes and a management by exception reporting procedure based on that budget will motivate his subordinates to improve productivity within their particular departments. Based on this philosophy, Wagner has implemented the following budget procedures:

An appropriation target figure is given to each department manager. This amount is the maximum funding that each department can expect to receive in the next fiscal year Department managers develop their individual budgets within the following spending constraint as directed by the controller's staff:

1. Expenditure requests cannot exceed the appropriation target

2. All fixed expenditures should be included in the budget: these should include items such . . as contracts and salaries at current levels

3. All government projects directed by higher authority should be included in the budget in their entirety. The controller consolidates the departmental budget requests from the various departments into one budget that is to be submitted for the entire division. Upon final budget approval by the legislature, the controller's staff allocates the appropriation to the various departments on instructions from the division manager. However, a specified percentage of each department's appropriation is held back in anticipation of potential budget cuts and special funding needs. The amount and use of this contingency fund are left to the discretion of the division manager Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to appropriation level. However, as stated in the original directive, specific projects authorized b higher authority must remain intact. The final budget is used as the basis of control for a management by exception form of reporting. Excessive expenditures by account for each department are highlighted on a monthly basis. Department managers are expected to account for all expenditures over budget. Fiscal responsibility is an important factor in the overall performance evaluation of department managers .Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to operate within the reduced · Wagner believes that his policy of allowing the department managers to participate in the budget process and then holding them accountable for their performance is essential, e these times of limited resources.

Answer:

Deficiencies in Wagner's Participative Budgeting Policy

1. Fixed costs are not controllable by managers.  This defeats, to a large extent, the idea of participative budgeting policy by Wagner as his departmental managers' performances are evaluated based on goals they have not set for themselves.

2. Wagner's participative budgetary policy allows him to revise some approved budgets arbitrarily without seeking the participation of divisional managers in the revision.  This negatives the principle of participation.

Explanation:

An effective participating budgeting process ensures the utilization of specialist knowledge of the participants who are close to the daily operations of their departments. An effective process ensures the setting of more realistic and acceptable goals.  A good participative budgetary policy wins managers' commitment, improves communication and accountability, and ensures group cohesiveness.

Answers

Answer:

According to the numbers in the article

smoking among adults is inelastic because the percent change in price is less than the percentage change in quantity demanded.

Explanation:

Inelasticity means that price changes do not affect the demand for smoking among adults.  When the habits of consumers to smoke are not determined by the change in the price of the item, the demand is described as inelastic.  In other words, a change in the price of the good or service does not generate a corresponding change in the quantity demanded. Inelasticity, as an economic term, states that the quantity demanded of a good or service remains static when there is a change in its price.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

(a)-Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio

Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio is

= Debt ÷ [Debt + Book Value of Equity]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $23.00 per share)]

= $24.80 Billion ÷  [$24.80 Billion + $13.69 Billion]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ $38.49 Billion

= 0.64

(b)- Caterpillar’s market debt-to-value ratio

Caterpillar’s book Market debt-to-value ratio is

= Debt ÷ [Debt + Market Value of Equity]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $154.80 per share)]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + $92.11 Billion]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ $116.91 Billion

= 0.21

(c)-Best measure to determine the company’s cost of capital is the market value
