Hernandez Company has 350,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. During the year, Hernandez declared a 10% stock dividend when the market price of the stock was $30 per share. Four months later Hernandez declared a $.50 per share cash dividend. As a result of the dividends declared during the year, retained earnings decreased by:_______.
a. $1,242,500.
b. $525,000.
c. $192,500.
d. $175,000.
Answer:
b. $525,000.
Explanation:
Dividends distributions are always made out of the distributable profits found in the Retained Earnings.
The first step thus is to calculate the amount of dividends distributed.
1st Declaration :
Dividends = 350,000 shares x $10 x 10% = $350,000
2nd Declaration :
Dividends = 350,000 shares x $0.50 = $175,000
Therefore,
Total Dividends = $350,000 + $175,000 = $525,000
Conclusion :
As a results of the dividends distribution, retained earnings decreased by $525,000.

Julio produces two types of calculator, standard and deluxe. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver but is considering a move to activity-based costing. In preparing for the possible switch, Julio has identified two cost pools: materials handling and setup. The collected data follow:
Standard Model Deluxe Model
Number of machine hours 26,500 31,500
Number of material moves 625 925
Number of setups 85 575
Total estimated overhead costs are $313, 020, of which $183, 750 is assigned to the material handling cost pool and $179, 180 is assigned to the setup cost pool.
Required:
1. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using the traditional cost system.
2. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using ABC.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a)
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 313,020 / 58,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.4 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Standard= 5.4*26,500= $143,100
Deluxe= 5.4*31,500= $170,100
b)
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Material handling= 183,750 / 1,550= $118.55 per material moves
Setup= 179,180 / 660= $271.48 per setup
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Standard= 118.55*625 + 271.48*85= $97,169.55
Deluxe= 118.55*925 + 271.48*575= $265,759.75
Bodin Company budgets on an annual basis. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are plannned for the year 20x1. Five units of raw material are required to produce each unit of finished product. January 1 December 31 Raw material 42,000 49,000 Work in process 19,000 19,000 Finished goods 92,000 75,000 Required: 1. If Bodin Company plans to sell 476,000 units during the year, compute the number of units the firm would have to manufacture during the year. 2. If 508,000 finished units were to be manufactured by Bodin Company during the year, determine the amount of raw material to be purchased.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The number of units to be manufactured during the year is
= Selling units + ending finished goods - opening finished goods
= 476,000 units + 75,000 units - 92,000 units
= 459,000 units
2. The raw material purchased amount is
= (508,000 × 5) + 49,000 - 42,000
= $2,547,000

The Brisbane Manufacturing Company produces a single model of a CD player. Each player is sold for $182 with a resulting contribution margin of $71. Brisbane's management is considering a change in its quality control system. Currently, Brisbane spends $42,000 a year to inspect the CD players. An average of 1,900 units turn out to be defective: 1,520 of them are detected in the inspection process and are repaired for $75. If a defective CD player is not identified in the inspection process, the customer who receives it is given a full refund of the purchase price. The proposed quality control system involves the purchase of an x-ray machine for $210,000. The machine would last for five years and would have salvage value at that time of $18,000. Brisbane would also spend $470,000 immediately to train workers to better detect and repair defective units. Annual inspection costs would increase by $25,000. Brisbane expects this new control system to reduce the number of defective units to 400 per year. 350 of these defective units would be detected and repaired at a cost of only $41 per unit. Customers who still receive defective players will be given a refund equal to 120% of the purchase price.
Required:
a. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane keeps using its current system?
b. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane replaces its current system?
c. Assuming a discount rate of 8%, what is the net present value if Brisbane keeps using its current system?

Descendants Corporation is a growth firm that recently had its IPO. It is not currently paying dividends and its first dividend is expected in year 5. After this, it is expected to offer dividends with growth rates of 15% for two years. After this time, it is expected to reach stable growth with a dividend growth rate of 4% forever. If the dividend discount model is used to value the stock, in what year does the horizon value from stable growth belong
Answer:
year 7
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) is used to determine the value of stock by discounting the dividend to derive the present value of the stock.
Types of DDM
1.two stage : one stage of rapid growth and a stage of constant growth
3. three stage : one stage of super normal growth, followed by a stage of normal growth and then constant growth
For this company
first 5 years = o dividends
next 2 years = 15%
7th year - constant growth
Shortcomings of the DDM
It doesn't take a control perspective
It is unsuitable for firms that don't pay dividends
The manager of the Quick Stop Corner convenience store (which is open 360 days per year) sells four cases of Stein soda each day (1440 cases per year). Order costs are $8.00 per order. The lead time for an order is three days. Annual holding costs are equal to $57.60 per case. If the manager orders 16 cases each time she places an order, how many orders would she place in a year
Answer:
90 orders she would place in a year
Explanation:
The total annual cases of Stein soda that the manager buys are 1,440 cases. If she were to place 16 cases in a single order then we would divide the total cases bought in a year by the cases bought in a single order to determine the number of orders the manager would place in a year. As shown below:
No. of orders placed in a year = Annual Total Cases bought / Cases purchased in single order
No. of orders placed in a year = 1,440 / 16
No. of orders placed in a year = 90 orders
How does a flourishing business affect trade?
Answer: Flourishing services trade could boost world growth ... it easier to export such services as business- process outsourcing, medical diagnostics or education.
Explanation: Trade involves the transfer of goods or services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services.[1][need quotation to verify] Barter involves trading things without the use of money.[1] When either bartering party started to involve precious metals, these gained symbolic as well as practical importance.[citation needed] Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money
SUV Company is considering producing a line of luxury SUVs. Currently, SUV Company sells 4,200 standard SUVs annually for $45,400 each. They expect that they would sell 5,600 luxury SUVs for $80,500. If SUV Company produces the line of luxury SUVs, then they expect to only sell 3,300 standard SUVs. What is the incremental revenue generated from the potential project
Answer:
SUV Company
The incremental revenue generated from the potential project is:
= $409,940,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of Standard SUVs = $45,400
Number of Standard SUVs sold annually = 4,200
Luxury SUVs' price per unit = $80,500
Number of Luxury SUVs expected to be sold = 5,600
Reduced number of Standard SUVs sold as a result = 3,300
Lost sales of Standard SUVs = 900 (4,200 - 3,300)
The incremental revenue generated from the potential project is:
Sale revenue from Luxury SUVs = $450,800,000 ($80,500 * 5,600)
Lost revenue from lost sale of
Standard SUVs = 40,860,000 ($45,400 * 900)
Incremental revenue generated = $409,940,000
b) The incremental revenue is the additional revenue generated from the introduction of the Luxury SUVs, excluding the lost revenue from the non-sale of Standard SUVs as a result of the introduction.
On January 1, 2021, Bramble Corp., declared a 10% stock dividend on its common stock when the fair value of the common stock was $30 per share. Stockholders' equity before the stock dividend was declared consisted of:

What was the effect on Dodd's retained earnings as a result of the above transaction?
a. $180,000 decrease.
b. $360,000 decrease.
c. $600,000 decrease.
d. $300,000 decrease.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The effect on Dodd's retained earnings as a result of the above transaction will be calculated as:
Common stock = 115000
Percent of stock dividend = 10%
Stock dividend = 10% × 115000 = 11500
Price per share = $30
Stock dividend = $30 × 11500 = $345000
Therefore, there'll be a $345000 decrease on Dodd's retained earnings. The options given are incorrect.
Assuming, the common stock was 120,000, then the answer will have been (120,000 × $3) = $360,000 decrease.
Which of the following arguments can be used to correctly defend the WTO’s position on retaliatory tariffs? Check all that apply. A countervailing duty protects import-competing producers. Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition. Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Answer:
The arguments that can be used to correctly defend the WTO's position on retaliatory tariffs are:
Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition.
Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Explanation:
A government can impose anti-dumping duties on certain imports when it believes that the prices of the imports are below their fair market values. Truly, some exports have been found to export goods at prices significantly below their domestic market prices. Dumping shows that the export prices may even be below their production costs.

In this scenario the shareholders of this firm can buy the assets of this company in order to pay off the debt of $180,000 which in essence makes $180,000 the strike price thereby making this a call option.
Karen owns a designer clothing store in a small town. Since her store is the only store that offers designer outfits, she charges high prices for them. In the same town, another store deals in similar apparels but offers them at cheaper rates. Karen wants to maintain the exclusivity of her store. She is planning to slash prices. This move may incur losses. However, she is determined to give a tough competition to her competing store and ensure that it goes out of business.
Answer:
Antitrust law
Explanation:
The government uses Antitrust laws to prevent creation of monopolies. These laws ensure that no single firm prevents competition unreasonably. So, Karen's action of cutting down prices to eliminate the competitor will come under government scrutiny.
A proposed new project has projected sales of $219,000, costs of $96,000, and depreciation of $26,000. The tax rate is 23 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Top-down
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow using the four different approaches is shown below:
1. EBIT + depreciation - taxes approach
But before that the net income would be
Sales $219,000
Less cost -$96,000
Less depreciation -$26,000
EBT $97,000
Less tax at 23% -$22,310
Net income $74,690
Now the operating cash flow is
= EBIT + depreciation - taxes
= $97,000 $26,000 - $22,310
= $100,690
2. top down approach
= Sales - cost - taxes
= $219,000 - $96,000 - $22,310
= $100,690
3. Tax shield approach
= (Sales - cost) × (1 - tax rate) + tax rate × depreciation expense
= ($219,000 - $96,000) × 0.23 + 0.23 × $26,000
= $94,710 + $5,980
= $100,690
4. Bottom up approach
= Net income + depreciation
= $74,690 + $26,000
= $100,690
Earley Corporation issued perpetual preferred stock with an 8% annual dividend. The stock currently yields 6%, and its par value is $100. Round your answers to the nearest cent. What is the stock's value
Answer:
Value of stock = $133.33
Explanation:
The value of a preferred stock is the present value of the constant dividend payable for the foreseeable future discounted at the required rate of return
Price = Constant dividend/ required return
The constant dividend = Dividend rate × par value= 8%*100= 8
Requited return - 6%
So the price of the stock would be
Price = 8/0.06=133.33
Value of stock = $133.33

On June 1, 2020, Forde Auto Manufacturer sells a 4-door sedan to a dealer for $6,000, which includes three years of maintenance. The standalone selling price of the vehicle is $6,000 and the standalone selling price of the maintenance contract is $400. In addition, Forde offered a $100 cash incentive (per vehicle purchased) to the dealer if the vehicle was purchased in the first week of June 2020. a. How should the transaction price be allocated among the performance obligation(s) for sales made in the first week of June? b. Prepare Forde’s journal entry to record the sale of vehicles for cash, assuming that dealers purchased 20 vehicles during the first week of June 2020. Ignore the cost of sales entries
Answer:
Part a
Allocation based on Stand Alone Selling Prices :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract = $6,400Cash incentive = $100Part b
Journal entry :
Debit : Cash $130,000
Credit : Revenue - 4 - door Sedan $128,000
Credit : Revenue - Cash incentive $2,000
Explanation:
It is important to identify the step in IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is affected by the question.
Here, Step 2 - Identify the performance obligation in the contract, Step 3 - Determine the Transaction Price, Step 4 - Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance obligation and Step 5 - Recognize the Revenue as or when the Performance Obligation is Satisfied. These are explained and applied as follows :
Step 2 - Identify the performance obligation in the contract.
Here, identify the individual promises (Performance Obligations) that the entity has committed to transfer to the customer.
Also the entity identifies each performance obligation that is distinct, or a series of distinct Goods or Services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
So, the performance obligations are as follows :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract(these can not be consumed independently from one another)Cash incentive (can be consumed independently from the rest of the performance obligations)Step 3 - Determine the Transaction Price
Transaction price is the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange of goods or services transferred to the customer.
Transaction Price is $6,500 ($6,000 + $400 + $100)
Step 4 - Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance obligation
Allocation of Transaction Price is done based on Stand Alone Selling Prices.
Stand alone selling prices have already been identified :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract = $6,400Cash incentive = $100Step 5 - Recognize the Revenue as or when the Performance Obligation is Satisfied
Stand alone for 20 vehicles :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract = $6,400 x 20 = $128,000Cash incentive = $100 x 20 = $2,000Journal entry :
Debit : Cash $130,000
Credit : Revenue - 4 - door Sedan $128,000
Credit : Revenue - Cash incentive $2,000

On September 6, 2009, an invoice dated September 4, 2009, with terms of 3/10, net 30 for $3,250 which included a $250 prepaid freight cost, was received. 4. On September 10, 2009, $800 of the merchandise was returned to the seller. Based on the above information, what would be recorded as net purchases amount after all of the transactions have been recorded
Answer:
the amount of the net purchase is $2,384
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the net purchase is shown below:
Net purchases is
= purchases - purchase Discount - purchase returns
= $3,250 - ($3,250 - $250 - $800) × 3% - $800
= $3,250 - $66 - $800
= $2,384
hence, the amount of the net purchase is $2,384
Basically the above formula would be used

Answer:
Bad Wolf Enterprises
The net benefit of the call and reissue for Bad Wolf Enterprises is:
= $261,071.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Bond maturity period = 10 years
Coupon rate = 5%
Present value factor at 5% for 10 years = 0.614
Present value of the coupons savings of the new offering = $588,365
Future value of the extra principal payment of the new offering = $350,000
Present value of the extra principal payment = $214,900 ($350,000 * 614)
Administrative fees associated with the recall and reissue = $112,394
Total cost = $327,294 ($214,900 + $112,394)
The net benefit of the call and reissue = Total benefits minus total costs
= $261,071 ($588,365 - $327,294)
Explain how art sellers use the 4 P's of marketing to promote expensive art to the desired patrons. Then, consider: Do you think it makes sense to view art as a product and promote it using the marketing mix? How is it similar to other products? On the other hand, what makes art different or "special" in comparison to the products we usually buy in a store?
Explanation:
Yes, the art market can benefit from the use of the marketing mix, since the 4p's of marketing, which are the product, price, place and promotion, will directly influence the positioning of a product in the market and consequently increase sales.
In the case of works of art, the marketing mix helps to align marketing strategies to reach the potential audience that consumes art. It can then be considered that the arts make up a specific type of market niche, which has consumers willing to pay certain prices according to the artist, the rarity of the artwork, the time, etc. Therefore, the marketing mix works as a strategic set that will help art sellers to position their product with their consumers and thus achieve the final goal of making sales.
