Assume the following information: Current spot rate of New Zealand dollar = $.41 Forecasted spot rate of New Zealand dollar 1 year from now = $.45 One-year forward rate of the New Zealand dollar = $.42 Annual interest rate on New Zealand dollars = 8% Annual interest rate on U.S. dollars = 9% Given the information in this question, the return from uncovered interest arbitrage by U.S. investors with $400,000 to invest is _______ A) about 11.97 B) about 10.63 C) about 11.12 D) about 13.27 E) about 18.54
Answer:
B) about 10.63
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what return from uncovered interest arbitrage by U.S. investors with $400,000 to invest is
First step is to calculate the Current Amount of New Zealand dollar
New Zealand dollar=$400,000/$.41
New Zealand dollar=$975,609.76
Second step is to calculate the Increase based on the Annual interest rate on New Zealand dollars
Increase in New Zealand dollars = $975,609.76×(1+.08)
Increase in New Zealand dollars = $975,609.76× (1.08)
Increase in New Zealand dollars=$1,053,658.54
Third step is to calculate the forward rate amount of the New Zealand dollar
Forward rate amount of New Zealand dollar = $1,053,658.54× .42
Forward rate amount of New Zealand dollar= $442,536.63
Now let calculate return from uncovered interest arbitrage
Return = ($442,536.63 –$400,000)/$400,000
Return = $42,536.63/$400,000
Return=0.1063*100
Return= 10.63%
Therefore return from uncovered interest arbitrage by U.S. investors with $400,000 to invest is about 10.63 %

Blue Cab Company had 60,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 30,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 10,000 shares exercisable at $11 that had not been exercised by its executives. The end-of-year market price of common stock was $23 while the average price for the year was $22. The company reported net income in the amount of $319,915 for 2021. What is the diluted earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
$3.46
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share = Earnings attributable to holders of common stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks outstanding
where,
Earnings attributable to holders of common stock = $319,915
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks outstanding
outstanding on January 1, 2021 = 60,000 shares
additional shares (9/ 12 x 30,000) = 22,500 shares
Option stocks = 10,000 shares
Total = 92,500 shares
therefore,
Diluted earnings per share = $319,915 / 92,500 shares = $3.46
Accents Associates sells only one product, with a current selling price of $130 per unit. Variable costs are 60% of this selling price, and fixed costs are $40,000 per month. Management has decided to reduce the selling price to $125 per unit in an effort to increase sales. Assume that the cost of the product and fixed operating expenses are not changed by this reduction in selling price. At the current selling price of $130 per unit, what dollar volume of sales per month is required for Accents to earn a monthly operating income of $20,000
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $150,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $130
Unitary variable cost= 130*0.6= $78
Fixed costs= $40,000
Desired profit= $20,000
To calculate the sales in dollars to reach the desired profit, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (20,000 + 40,000) / [(130 - 78) / 130]
Break-even point (dollars)= 60,000 / 0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $150,000
Qu. 13-54 (Algo) Otool Incorporated is considering using stocks of an old raw material... Otool Incorporated is considering using stocks of an old raw material in a special project. The special project would require all 160 kilograms of the raw material that are in stock and that originally cost the company $1,536 in total. If the company were to buy new supplies of this raw material on the open market, it would cost $7 per kilogram. However, the company has no other use for this raw material and would sell it at the discounted price of $6.75 per kilogram if it were not used in the special project. The sale of the raw material would involve delivery to the purchaser at a total cost of $79 for all 160 kilograms. What is the relevant cost of the 160 kilograms of the raw material when deciding whether to proceed with the special project
Answer:
Otool Incorporated
The relevant cost of the 160 kilograms of the raw material when deciding whether to proceed with the special project is:
= $1,001.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of 160 kilograms of the raw material = $1,536
Cost of new supplies of the raw material = $7 per kilogram
= $1,120 ($7 * 160)
Price at which the raw material could be sold = $6.75
Total = $1,080 ($6.75 * 160)
Delivery cost cost from sale of the raw material = $79
Net revenue to be recovered from the sale = $1,001.
The relevant cost is the lower of the replacement cost or the net realizable value. That the lower of $1,120 or $1,001.

Carbon Composite Poles manufactures fishing poles that have a price of $125.00. It has costs of $90.00. A competitor is introducing a new fishing pole that will sell for $110.00. Management believes it must lower the price to $110.00 to compete in the highly cost-conscious fishing pole market. Marketing department believes that the new price will allow Carbon to maintain the current sales level of 200,000 poles per year. Required: a) What is the target cost for the new price if target operating income is 25 % of sales
Answer:
Carbon Composite Poles
The target cost for the new price if target operating income is 25% of sales is:
= $82.50.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current price of fishing poles = $125.00
Cost of production per unit = $90.00
Competitor's price for a new fishing pole = $110.00
Management agreed new price per fishing pole = $110
Current sales level per year = 200,000 poles
Target operating income = 25% of sales
Cost = 100 - 25% = 75%
Cost = $110 * 75%
= $82.50
Check:
25% of $110 = $27.50
Cost = $82.50
Selling price = $110 ($27.50 * $82.50)
Sunland Company is planning to sell 1000 buckets and produce 980 buckets during March. Each bucket requires 500 grams of plastic and one-half hour of direct labor. Plastic costs $10 per 500 grams and employees of the company are paid $18 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Sunland has 200 kilos of plastic in beginning inventory and wants to have 300 kilos in ending inventory. How much is the total amount of budgeted direct labor for March?
Answer: $8820
Explanation:
The total amount of budgeted direct labor for March will be calculated thus:
Production in March = 980
Estimated labor hour = 0.5hour
Labor rate per hour = $18
Total amount of budgeted labor hour will be:
= 980 × 0.5 × $18
= $8820

Each of two stocks, A and B, are expected to pay a dividend of $5 in the upcoming year. The expected growth rate of dividends is 10% for both stocks. You require a rate of return of 11% on stock A and a return of 20% on stock B. The intrinsic value of stock A
A. will be greater than the intrinsic value of stock B.
B. will be the same as the intrinsic value of stock B.
C. will be less than the intrinsic value of stock B.
D. cannot be calculated without knowing the market rate of return.
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Intrinsic value can be determined using the constant dividend growth model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
Stock A = $5/ (0.11 - 0.1) = $500
Stock B = $5/ (0.2 - 0.1) = 50
Intrinsic value of A is greater than that of B

During the first and second months it expects credit sales of $50,000 and $60,000, respectively. The company expects to collect 40% of its credit sales in the month of the sale and the remaining 60% in the following month. What amount of accounts receivable would the company report in its balance sheet at the end of the second month
Answer:
$36,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the account receivable that should be reported at the end of the second month is shown below;
= Credit sales of the second month × following month percentage
= $60,000 × 0.60
= $36,000
By multiplying the credit sales of the second month with the following month percentage, the amount of the account receivable could come
Hence, the same would be relevant
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Norstar Industries reported net income of $960,000. At January 1, 2021, the company had 1,050,000 common shares outstanding. The following changes in the number of shares occurred during 2021:
Apr. 30 Sold 80,000 shares in a public offering.
May 24 Declared and distributed a 5% stock dividend.
June 1 Issued 90,000 shares as part of the consideration for the purchase of assets from a subsidiary.
Required:
Compute Norstar's earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021. (Enter your answers in thousands. Round "EPS" answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Earning per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 on Norstar's earnings = $0.79 per share
Explanation:
Earning per share is calculated as
Net income reported / Weighted number of outstanding shares
where,
Net income reported is $960,000
And, the weighted number of outstanding share is
For Jan.1
Jan 1 2021 shares × stock dividend
Dividend = 100 + rate = 100 + 0.05 = 1.05
1,050,000 x 1.05=$1, 102,500
For April
April 30 shares × stock dividend× number of months / total number of months in a year
80,000 x 1.0 5 x 8/12(April 30 to December 31 = 8 months)=56,000
For June
June 1 shares × number of months/ total number of months in a year
90,000 x 7/12=56,000
Total weighted number of outstanding shares =$1,102,500+56,000+52,500= $1,211,000
So, the earning per share is
= 960,000 / $1,211,000 shares
= $0.79 per share
Project Droid has a net present value of $45,000 and has an initial investment of $180,000. Project Clone has a net present value of $8,000 and has an initial investment of $30,000. The projects are proposals for increasing revenue and are mutually exclusive. The firm should accept... Only Project Clone should be accepted Only Project Droid should be accepted Neither Project should be accepted Both Project Clone and Project Droid should be accepted
Answer:
Neither Project should be accepted
Explanation:
Given that
The net present value and the initial investment of the project droid is $45,000 and $180,000 respectively
And, the net present value and the initial investment of the project clone is $8,000 and $30,000 respectively
Since the net present value of both the projects are less than their initial investment so both the projects should not be accepted as the net present value is in negative

In absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a product cost and is included in the cost of goods sold. This means that a portion of fixed overhead is allocated to each unit produced, resulting in higher inventory values and a higher cost of goods sold.
In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a period cost and is not included in the cost of goods sold. It is instead expensed in the period incurred. This means that fixed overhead is only expensed when it is incurred and is not allocated to units in inventory.
Since the number of units produced (44,000 units) exceeded the number of units sold (38,000 units), the fixed overhead allocated to the 6,000 unsold units under absorption costing contributes to the difference in reported operating income between the two methods. In this case, the absorption costing method reports higher operating income due to the allocation of fixed overhead to units in inventory.

Video Planet (VP) sells a big screen TV package consisting of a 60-inch HDTV, a universal remote, and on-site installation by VP staff. The installation includes programming the remote to have the TV interface with other parts of the customer's home entertainment system. VP concludes that the TV, remote, and installation service are separate performance obligations. VP sells the 60-inch TV separately for $1,700, sells the remote separately for $100, and offers the installation service separately for $200. The entire package sells for $1,900.
Required: How much revenue would be allocated to the TV, the remote, and the installation service?
Answer:
Video Planet (VP)
The revenue that would be allocated to the TV, the remote, and the installation service:
TV = $1,615
Remote = $95
Installation service = $190
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales price of 60-inch TV = $1,700
Sales price of remote = $100
Installation service = $200
Total sales price, if sold separately = $2,000
Sales price of entire package = $1,900
Revenue allocated to the 3 performance obligations:
TV = $1,700/$2,000 * $1,900 = $1,615
Remote = $100/$2,000 * $1,900 = $95
Installation service = $200/$2,000 * $1,900 = $190
Total revenue allocated = $1,900
explain errors are not detected by a trial balance
Answer:
Errors not detected by a trial balance are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book
3. Compensating Errors
4. Errors of Principle
5. Errors of Omission
Explanation:
The Trial Balance does not provide absolute assurance of ledger account accuracy. It is just an evidence of the postings' arithmetical accuracy. Even though the amount of debits equals the amount of credits, there may be inaccuracies.
A trial balance will not reveal such errors, and they are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account: IF accidentally posted something to the wrong account, but it was on the right side, the Trial Balance agreement will not be affected. For example, if a $200 purchase from John was credited to Joshua instead of John. As a result, Trial Balance will miss such an error.
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book: The Trial Balance will come out appropriately if an invoice for $632 is filed in Sales Book as $623, because the debit and credit have been recorded as $623. The arithmetical precision is there, yet there is a flaw.
3. Compensating Errors: This occurs one mistake is offset by a similar mistake on the other side. These errors are cancelled if one account in the ledger is debited $500 less and another account in the ledger is credited $500 less.
4. Errors of Principle: An errors of Principle is one that breaches the foundations of bookkeeping. Purchases of furniture, for example, are debited to the Purchase Account rather than the Furniture Account; wages paid for the erection of plant are debited to the Wages Account rather than the Plant Account; and the amount spent on a building extension is debited to the Repairs Account rather than the Building Account, and so on. These kind of errors do not alter the total debits and credits, but they do impair the bookkeeping principle.
5. Errors of Omission: There will be no effect on the Trial Balance if a transaction is completely omitted. An error of omission occurs when a transaction is fully unreported in both aspects, or when a transaction is documented in the books of primary entry but never entered in the ledger. For example, if a credit purchase is not recorded in the Purchase Day Book, it will not be posted to both the Purchase Account and the Supplier's Account. This error, on the other hand, will not cause Trial Balance to disagree.

State whether true or false and briefly explain why:
If a business owner is delighted to accept additional orders at the current price, he or she cannot have been a profit-maximizing, perfectly competitive producer. A profit-maximizing, perfectly competitive firm would have been producing such that the multiple choice P > MC, so producing more would mean that the marginal cost increases to match the market price; so this is false. P = AC, so producing more would mean that the average cost would exceed the price reducing profits; so this is true. P = MC, so producing more would mean that the marginal cost would exceed the price reducing profits; so this is true. MR < MC, so producing more would mean that the marginal cost increases to match the market price; so this is false.
Answer:
Stating True or False
P > MC, so producing more would mean that the marginal cost increases to match the market price. FALSE
P = AC, so producing more would mean that the average cost would exceed the price reducing profits. FALSE
P = MC, so producing more would mean that the marginal cost would exceed the price reducing profits. TRUE
MR < MC, so producing more would mean that the marginal cost increases to match the market price. FALSE
Explanation:
All profit-maximizing producers accept a market price (P) that is equal to the marginal cost (MC), i.e. (P = MC). At this point, the market price does not exceed the marginal costs (costs of factors of production). When = P > MC, it shows that the benefits of producing more goods exceed the production costs, to the benefit of the society. However, if P < MC, then the social costs of producing the goods exceed the social benefits, signalling that the economy should produce less.
