The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) reports that the HP Spectre laptop computer starts at $994.00 for a base configuration. The model displayed at its recent show costs $1,353, $118 more than the comparable 13-inch Apple MacBook Air. If Computers-R-Us buys the HP Spectre at the show with 3/15, net 30 terms on August 26, how much does it need to pay on September 9
Answer: $1312.41
Explanation:
The following information can be depicted from the question:
Cost of HP Spectre laptop = $1353
Credit terms = 3/15, net 30
Therefore, since discount allowed is 3%, the complement of the discount rate will be:
= 100% - 3%
= 97%
Therefore, amount needed to pay will be:
= Listed price × Complement of discounts rate
= $1353 × 97%
= $1353 × 0.97
= $1312.41
Therefore, the amount needed to pay is $1312.41

Explanation:
The ABC Corporation is considering opening an office in a new market area that would allow it to increase its annual sales by $2.5 million. Cost of goods sold is estimated to be 40 percent of sales, and corporate overhead would increase by $300,000, not including the cost of either acquiring or leasing office space. The corporation will have to invest $2.5 million in office furniture, office equipment, and other up-front costs associated with opening the new office before considering the costs of owning or leasing the office space. A small office building could be purchased for sole use by the corporation at a total price of $3.9 million, of which $600,000 of the purchase price would represent land value, and $3.3 million would represent building value. The cost of the building would be depreciated over 39 years. The corporation is in a 30 percent tax bracket. An investor is willing to purchase the same building and lease it to the corporation for $450,000 per year for a term of 15 years, with the corporation paying all real estate operating expenses (absolute net lease). Real estate operating expenses are estimated to be 50 percent of the lease payments. Estimates are that the property value will increase over the 15-year lease term for a sale price of $4.9 million at the end of the 15 years. If the property is purchased, it would be financed with an interest-only mortgage for $2,730,000 at an interest rate of 10 percent with a balloon payment due after 15 years.
a. What is the return from opening the office building under the assumption that it is leased?
b. What is the return from opening the office building under the assumption that it is owned?
c. What is the return on the incremental cash flow from owning versus leasing?
d. In general, what other factors might the firm consider before deciding whether to lease or own?
Answer:
A. 12.02%
B. 12.56%.
C. 13.41%

Michael McBride is an employee of Reach-it Pharmaceuticals. His company car is a 2019 Lexus GS 200t with a fair-market value of $50,000 and a lease value of $13,250, according to Publication 15-b. During the year, Michael drove 45,000 miles, of which 9,000 were for personal use. The car was available for use on 270 of the days during the year. All gasoline was provided by the employer and is charged back to Michael at $0.055 per mile. What is the amount of the company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule
Answer:
Michael
The amount of the company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule is:
= $1,960.27
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fair market value of 2019 Lexus GS 200t = $50,000
Lease value of the company car = $13,250
Distance that Michael drove the car during the year = 45,000
Personal use of the car during the year = 9,000
Percentage of personal use = 9,000/45,000 * 100 = 20%
Availability of the car during the year = 270
Gasoline charged back to Michael by the employer = $0.055 * 45,000 * 20%
= $495
Company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule is = $13,250 * 20% * 270/365 = $1,960.27

The cost of issuing new common stock is calculated the same way as the cost of raising equity capital from retained earnings. False: Flotation costs need to be taken into account when calculating the cost of issuing new common stock, but they do not need to be taken into account when raising capital from retained earnings. True: The cost of retained earnings and the cost of new common stock are calculated in the same manner, except that the cost of retained earnings is based on the firm’s existing common equity, while the cost of new common stock is based on the value of the firm’s share price net of its flotation cost.
Answer: False: Flotation costs need to be taken into account when calculating the cost of issuing new common stock, but they do not need to be taken into account when raising capital from retained earnings.
Explanation:
When issuing common stock, the firm will need to pay certain floatation costs such as underwriting fees, legal fees, and registration fees. These will reduce the net amount received from the floatation of new securities.
When raising capital from the retained earnings however, the company can avoid flotation costs because they would be acquiring funds internally and so do not have to worry about paying other entities to access it.

Explanation:
Marvin, the vice president of Lavender, Inc., exercises a stock option to purchase 100 shares of stock in March 2020. The stock options are incentive stock options (ISOs). Their exercise price is $20 and the fair market value on the date of exercise is $28. The options were granted in March 2016 and all restrictions on the free transferability had lapsed by the exercise date.
a. If Marvin sells the stock in December 2020 for $3,000, his AMT adjustment in 2020 is a positive adjustment of $800.
b. If Marvin sells the stock in December 2020 for $3,000, his AMT adjustment in 2020 is $0.
c. If Marvin sells the stock in December 2020 for $3,000, his AMT adjustment in 2020 is a negative adjustment of $800.
d. If Marvin sells the stock in December 2021 for $3,000, his AMT adjustment in 2021 is a negative adjustment of $1,000.
Answer:
None of the answer is correct.
Explanation:
When Marvin purchase stock in March 2020 at a price of $28. The exercise price for the stock is $20. When Marvin will sell the stock at the exercise price he will gain on the sale of the stock. AMT is the difference or spread between the stock exercise price and its underlying fair market value.
RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $50,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $5,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $10,500 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $20,500 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making.What is the internal rate of return used to reach your decision?
Answer:
savings per year = $20,500 - $10,500 = $10,000
the loan and interest are not included in the calculation

Leto Company manufactures a certain type of alloy. The alloy undergoes a hardening process. The hardening unit is operating at full capacity and is a production constraint. The unit contribution margin and the number of hours of hardening treatment used by the alloy are as follows: Unit selling price$96.80 Unit variable cost(23.50) Unit contribution margin$73.30 Hardening treatment hours per unit5 hrs. Assuming Leto produces 2,300 units of the alloy, calculate the unit contribution margin per production constraint hour.
Answer:
Leto Company
The unit contribution margin per production constraint hour is:
= $0.00637.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Unit selling price = $96.80
Unit variable cost = (23.50)
Unit contribution margin = $73.30
Hardening treatment hours per unit = 5 hours
Units of alloy produced = 2,300
Total hours spent on hardening treatment = 11,500 (5 * 2,300)
Contribution margin per production constraint hour = Unit contribution margin/Total hours spent on hardening treatment
= $0.00637 ($73.30/11,500)
b) The unit contribution margin per production constraint hour shows the contribution margin that is made per unit of the production constraint. The production constraint is the limited input resources that are available for production. It is a product of the units of the alloy that Leto produces and the number of hours required to produce one unit.

During year 2019, Chocolate International (GI) has purchased its inventory as follow: Date Units Unit Cost Total Cost Beginning Inventory 2,500 $8.00 $20,000 April 8, 2019 4,000 $8.10 $32,400 August 7, 2019 2,000 $8.30 $16,600 September 28, 2019 3,500 $8.40 $29,400 Total 12,000 $98,400 Additional Information On December 31, 2019, GI conducted a physical inventory and discovered that it has 800 unit remains in ending inventory. GI used the periodic inventory system. Requirements [You must show your work/steps of how you arrive at your answers] Question 1: Use the weighted average method to find GI's Cost of goods sold and Cost of Ending Inventory. Question 2: Use the LIFO method to find GI's Cost of goods sold and Cost of Ending Inventory. Question 3: Use the FIFO method to find GI's Cost of goods sold and Cost of Ending
Answer:
Chocolate International (CI)
Periodic Inventory system
1. Weighted-Average method:
Cost of goods sold = $91,840 (11,200 * $8.20)
Cost of ending inventory = $6,560 (800 * $8.20)
2. LIFO method:
Cost of ending inventory = $6,400 (800 * $8.00)
Cost of goods sold = Total cost Minus Cost of Ending Inventory
= $98,400 - $6,400
= $92,000
3. FIFO method:
Cost of ending inventory = $6,720 (800 * $8.40)
Cost of goods sold = Total cost Minus Cost of Ending Inventory
= $98,400 - $6,720
= $91,680
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost
April 1, 2019 Beginning Inventory 2,500 $8.00 $20,000
April 8, 2019 Purchase 4,000 $8.10 $32,400
August 7, 2019 Purchase 2,000 $8.30 $16,600
September 28 Purchase 3,500 $8.40 $29,400
Total 12,000 $98,400
Weighted-average cost per unit = $8.20
Ending inventory 800
Units sold 11,200 (12,000 - 800)
b) The FIFO (First-in, First-out) method is based on the assumption that Chocolate sales are made from the first items in stock. This means that the ending inventory of Chocolate is made up of the newest items.
On the other hand, the LIFO (Last-in, First-out) method bases its assumption on the sale of the newest Chocolate in stock while the oldest items form the bulk of the ending inventory.
The weighted-average method calculates a weighted-average unit cost of inventory by dividing the total cost of Chocolate available for sale by the total units of Chocolate for sale. Using the period inventory system, the computations of both the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory are done at the end of the specific financial period, unlike the perpetual inventory system.
All good marketers
Create robust social media conversations
Put themselves in the shoes of their target market
Balance push and pull marketing
Minimize negative buzz
Answer:
All good marketers
Put themselves in the shoes of their target market
Explanation:
This creates a personal experience of the marketing efforts and makes marketing a more targeted and conscious activity that is aimed at rendering the best service to the customer instead of just exploiting them. The awareness that marketing creates about goods and services is essential in the supply chain and value creation as a whole. To achieve improved success, a good marketing must be able to put herself in the shoes of their target market or customers.
During Year 1, Ashkar Company ordered a machine on January 1 at an invoice price of $28,000. On the date of delivery, January 2, the company paid $6,000 on the machine, with the balance on credit at 10 percent interest due in six months. On January 3, it paid $1,400 for freight on the machine. On January 5, Ashkar paid installation costs relating to the machine amounting to $2,300. On July 1, the company paid the balance due on the machine plus the interest. On December 31 (the end of the accounting period), Ashkar recorded depreciation on the machine using the straight-line method with an estimated useful life of 10 years and an estimated residual value of $4,000.
Required:
Indicate the effects (accounts, amounts, and or- of each transaction (on January 1, 2, 3, and 5 and July 1) on the accounting equation.
Explanation:
Date Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity
January 1 No effect No effect No effect
January 2 Cash $28,000 Note payable $22,000
Equipment -$6,000
January 3 Cash $1,400
Equipment -$1,400
January 5 Cash $2,300
Equipment -$2,300
July 1 Cash $23,100 Note payable -$22,000 Interest expense $1,100
( July 1 cash = balance due + interest
= $22,000 + ($22,000*10%*6/12)
= $23,100 )
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2. If an example belongs in both, be sure to check both boxes.
Example M1 M2
Susan has $8,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Larry has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
Raphael has $25,000 in a money market account.
Answer and Explanation:
The identification is as follows:
As we know that
M! money supply involved all the currecies that have physical existance i.e. notes, coins, demand deposits etc
While on the other hand, M2 involves M1 + near money i.e. mutual funds, checking deposits, money market etc
Since Susan has 2 year CD so it would be classified as a M2 money supply
Since larry withdraw from the bank so it would be included in M1 and M2
And, since raphael has $25,000 in money market so would be classified as a M2 money supply
Suppose a drop in the compensating wage differential between risky jobs and safe jobs has been observed. Two explanations have been put forward: • Engineering advances have made it less costly to create a safe working environment. • The phenomenal success of a new reality show Die on the Job! has imbued millions of viewers with a romantic perception of work-related fatal risks. Using demand and supply diagrams of risky jobs, show how each of the two developments can explain the drop in the compensating wage differential. Can information on the number of workers employed in the risky occupation help determine which explanation is more plausible?
Answer and Explanation:
As shown in the question above, the advancement of engineering has allowed it to be cheaper for a company to promote a safe environment for professionals than to pay a higher salary for the risk they run within the work environment. This causes companies to modify the offer of risky jobs, as a way of reducing expenses. However, due to wage compensation, the demand for these jobs remains high, because professionals are attracted to compensation. To stop this demand, companies promote a compensation differential, which modifies the demand curve by decreasing it, which means that fewer people will look for these jobs.
g A manufacturer is considering replacing a production machine tool. The new machine would cost $3700, have a life of four years, have no salvage value, and save the firm $500 per year in direct labor cost and $200 per year indirect labor costs. The existing machine tool was purchased four years ago at a cost of $4000. It will last four more years and have no salvage value at the end of that time. It could be sold now for $1000 cash. Assume money is worth 8%, and that the difference in taxes, insurance, and so forth, for the two alternatives is negligible. Determine whether or not the new machine should be purchased
Answer:
The new machine should not be purchased
Explanation:
Calculation to determine whether or not the new machine should be purchased
Calculation for the New Machine
EUAC = $3,700 (A/P, 8%, 4) - $500 - $200
EUAC= $3,700 (0.3019) - $700
EUAC=$1,117.03+$700
EUAC= $417.03
Calculation for EXISTING MACHINE
EUAC = $1,000 (A/P, 8%, 4)
EUAC= $1,000 (0.3019)
EUAC= $301.90
Therefore based on the above calculation The new machine should NOT be purchased reason been that it is more COSTLIER than the Existing Machine
) when originally issued, an investment in bonds of Flushing Dough, Inc., promised to provide an annual coupon of 7.50%. The bonds have 4 years until maturity, a market price of $735, and are expected to pay all coupon on time. At maturity, however, the bonds are only forecasted to pay 84% of their par value. What is the likely yield to maturity on the bonds
Answer:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
Explanation:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = likely yield to maturity on the bonds = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years until maturity = 4
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7.50% * $1,000 = $75 = 75
pv = present value = market price = $735 = 735
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,75,-735,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(40,75,-735,1000) into a cell in an excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 10.23%.
Therefore, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
if a bond with a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon interest rate of 10% was selling for $1100, then the yield to maturity on that bond is: A. is less than 10% B. is greater than 10% C. is 10% D. cannot be determined g
Answer:
a
Explanation:
the yield to maturity of a bond is the total return on a bond if the bond is held to maturity. it is the equivalent of the internal rate of return.
If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount
If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium
If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par.
the bond is selling at a premium as 1100 is greater than 1000. Thus, the ytm is less than 10%
In the market for pickled herring there are two competing producers: Abbas and Taste of Base. Both herring manufacturers have fixed cost of $240,000 a year and a constant marginal cost (AVC) of $1.80 per jar. In the current year, Abbas produced and sold 125,000 jars of herring while Taste of Base produced and sold 150,000 jars. Based on this information, we can expect Taste of Base's quantity sold to _____________ and its ________ in the future.
Answer: a. increase; average fixed cost to decrease.
Explanation:
Taste of Base produced and sold 150,000 jars of herring which was more than that of Abbas. As far as competition goes, Base is ahead of Abbas and this will only increase in future as they have the same cost yet are ahead. This efficiency will ensure that their quantity sold will increase.
Their average fixed cost will therefore decrease because average fixed cost is total fixed cost divided by the number of units produced so with a higher production level, there will be less average fixed cost.
EZ-Tax is a tax accounting practice with partners and staff members. Each billable hour of partner time has a $800 budgeted price and $375 budgeted variable cost. Each billable hour of staff time has a budgeted price of $210 and a budgeted variable cost of $120. For the most recent year, the partnership budget called for 5,000 billable partner-hours and 20,000 staff-hours. Actual results were as follows:
Partner revenue $4264,000 5200 hours
Staff revenue $4510,000 22,000 hours

c. Mix variance $85,000 $180,000 $265,000 F
d. Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Partner Staff
Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Budgeted variable cost per hour 375 120
Budgeted billable hours 5,000 20,000
Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000
Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000
Actual revenue $4,264,000 $4,510,000
Actual billable hours 5,200 22,000
Actual billable rate per hour $820 $205
Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Variance in price $20 ($5)
Sales price variance $104,000 ($110,000) ($6,000)
Sales price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual billable hours
= ($800 - $820) * 5,200 + ($210 - $205) * 22,000
= $20 * 5,200 + ($5) * 22,000
= $104,000 - 110,000
= $6,000 U
Activity variance = (Actual billable hours - Standard billable hours) * Standard rate
= (5,200 - 5,000) * $800 + (22,000 - 20,000) * $210
= (200 * $800) + (2,000 * 210)
= $160,000 + 420,000
= $580,000 F
Partner Staff Total
Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000 $8,200,000
Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000 4,275,000
Budgeted contribution $2,125,000 $1,800,000 $3,925,000

Actual contribution $2,314,000 $1,870,000 $4,184,000
Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000
Quantity variance = Budgeted contribution - Actual contribution
= $3,925,000 - $4,184,000
= $259,000 F
Mix Variance:
Standard contribution margin $425 $90
Volume variance 200 2,000
Mix variance = $85,000 $180,000
Folklore Music manufactures harmonicas. Folklore uses standard costs to judge performance. Recently, a clerk mistakenly threw away some of the records, and only partial data for July exist. Folklore knows that the total direct labor variance for the month was $350 F and that the standard labor rate was $11 per hour. A recent pay cut caused a favorable labor rate variance of $0.40 per hour. The standard direct labor hours for actual July outputs were 5,910.
Required:
a. Find the actual number of direct labor hours worked during July. First, find the actual direct labor rate per hour. Then, determine the actual number of direct labor hours worked by setting up the computation of the total direct labor variance as given.
b. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Do these variances suggest that the manager may have made trade-offs? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The actual direct labor rate per hour will be:
= Standard direct labor rate per hour - favorable labor rate variance
= $11 - $0.40
= $10.60
Then, the actual direct labor hours worked during July will be calculated as:
= (5910 × $11) - $350 / $10.6
= ($65010 - $350) / $10.6
= $64660 / $10.6
= 6100
b. The direct labor rate variance will be:
= (Actual rate per hour - standard rate per hour) × Actual labor hours
= (10.60 - 11.00) × 6100
= 2440F
Direct labor efficiency variance will be:
= (6900 - 5910) × $11
= 2090U
The direct labor rate variance that was favorable shows that the manager paid a lower rate to its staffs while the direct labor efficiency variance that was unfavorable implies that the manager used less efficient workers. This indicates that a trade-off took place.
= (6900
