Residual Income The operating income and the amount of invested assets in each division of Otte Industries are as follows: Operating Income Invested Assets Retail Division $ 8,000,000 $40,000,000 Commercial Division 12,750,000 75,000,000 Internet Division 270,000 1,800,000 Assume that management has established a 10% minimum acceptable rate of return for invested assets. a. Determine the residual income for each division. Retail Division Commercial Division Internet Division Operating income $8,000,000 $12,750,000 $270,000 Minimum acceptable operating income as a percent of invested assets fill in the blank 1 fill in the blank 2 fill in the blank 3 Residual income $fill in the blank 4 $fill in the blank 5 $fill in the blank 6
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The residual income for each division will be calculated as follows:
Retail division:
Operating income = $8,000,000
Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $40,000,000 = $4,000,000
Residual income = $4,000,000
Commercial division:
Operating income = $12,750,000
Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $75,000,000 = $7,500,000
Residual income = $5,250,000
Internet division:
Operating income = $270,000
Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $1,800,000 = $180,000
Residual income = $90,000
From the information above, we can also see that the commercial division has the highest residual value.

The accountant at Blackjack Company is figuring out the difference in income taxes the company will pay depending on the choice of either FIFO or LIFO as an inventory costing method. The tax rate is 30% and the FIFO method will result in income before taxes of $3,640. The LIFO method will result in income before taxes of $3,290. What is the difference in tax that would be paid between the two methods
Answer: $105
Explanation:
Taxes under LIFO:
= LIFO income * Tax rate
= 3,290 * 30%
= $987
Taxes under FIFO:
= FIFO income * Tax rate
= 3,640 * 30%
= $1,092
Difference:
= FIFO tax - LIFO tax
= $105

Answer:
I commend the governments of Peachtree City and Fayette County for their recent intervention, which will be beneficial to our economy. Earlier, the city reduced the water level in the lake so that people who live on the lake could maintain the shoreline. When the council started to refill the lake, city staff noted problems with the dam and spillway and brought it to the attention of Fayette County. There were financial constraints to completing this project, but the Peachtree City government decided to spend additional money to finish the project. That was the right course of action. The residents’ properties (and property values) have been restored, and the lake will once again draw visitors to the town to enjoy the lake and spend money in our town’s businesses.

Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:
= Change in consumption / Change in income
where,
Change in consumption = $18 billion
Change in income = $20 billion
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
= $18 billion / $20 billion
= 0.9
Therefore, MPC is 0.9.

Use the following information to answer Questions 12 - 15. Below is selected data for Gertup Corporation as of 12/31/05: Gertup has maintained the same inventory levels throughout 2005. If end of year inventory turnover was increased to 12 through more efficient relationships with suppliers, how much cash would be freed up (pick closest number)
Answer:
the cash that should be freed up is $267
Explanation:
The computation of the cash that would be freed up is shown below:
As we know that
The inventory turnover is
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
12 = $14,800 ÷ average inventory
So, the average inventory is 1,233
Now the cash that should be freed up is
= 1,500 - 1,233
= $267
hence, the cash that should be freed up is $267

Lauer Corporation uses the periodic inventory system and has provided the following information about one of its laptop computers: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 220 $ 920 5/5 Purchase 320 $ 1,020 8/10 Purchase 420 $ 1,120 10/15 Purchase 260 $ 1,170 During the year, Lauer sold 1,050 laptop computers. What was ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption
Answer:
$198,900
Explanation:
Ending inventory units = Available units for sale - Units sold
Ending inventory units = 220 + 320 + 420 + 260
Ending inventory units = 1,220.
Units sold = 1,050.
Ending inventory units = 1,220 - 1,050
Ending inventory units = 170
As per the FIFO cost flow assumption, sales comprise of units from beginning inventory and earlier purchases. Hence, ending inventory comprises units from latest purchases.
So, ending inventory of 170 units would be valued at the price from 10/15 purchases.
10/15 purchase price per unit = $1,170
Ending inventory value = 170 units x $1,170
Ending inventory value = $198,900

As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased
On January 1, 2017, Alexis Company purchased a delivery truck for $60,000. They estimated the useful life of the truck to be 6 years, and the salvage value to be $12,000. On July 1, 2022, they sold the truck for a loss of $1,200. Assuming the company uses straight line depreciation, what was the selling price of the truck
Answer:
$14,800
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price of the truck is shown below:
The depreciation expense is
= ($60,000 - $12,000) ÷ 6 years
= $8,000
Now the depreciation for 5.5 years is
= $8,000 × 5.5 years
= $44,000
Now book value is
= $60,000 - $44,000
= $16,000
ANd, finally the selling price of the truck is
= $16,000 - $1,200
= $14,800

The D. Dorner Farms Corporation is considering purchasing one of two fertilizer-herbicides for the upcoming year. The more expensive of the two is better and will produce a higher yield. Assume these projects are mutually exclusive and that the required rate of return is 10 percent. Given the following free cash flows:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$5000 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Required:
a. Calculate the NPV of each project.
b. Calculate the PI of each project.
c. Calculate the IRR of each project.
d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, which project should be selected? If there is a capital-rationing constraint, how should the decision be made?
Question Correction:
The question stated that there is a more expensive fertilizer-herbicide. Therefore, their initial outlays cannot be equal as stated. Instead, the correct cash flows, including initial outlays are:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Answer:
The D. Dorner Farms Corporation
Product A Product B
a. NPV = $136 $454
b. PI = 1.272 1.091
c. IRR = 27.2% 9.08%
d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, Project B should be chosen despite its poor PI and IRR performances, but for returning a larger NPV.
e. If there is a capital-rationing constraint, Project A should be chosen because of its more impressive PI and IRR performances.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Required rate of return for the projects = 10%
Present factor of 10% for 1 year = 0.909
Free cash flows:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Present values:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 636 5,454
NPV = $136 $454
b) PI (Profitability Index) is a useful tool in capital budgeting which measures the profit potential of a project in order to ease decisions. It is computed by dividing the present value of cash inflows by the initial investment cost. Another formula is: 1 + (NPV/Initial outlay).
Therefore, the PI for each project is calculated as follows:
PI = 1+ (NPV/Initial outlay)
Product A Product B
PI = 1 + ($136/$500) 1 + ($454/$5,000)
= 1.272 1.091
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) = NPV/Initial Outlay
Product A Product B
IRR = $136/$500 * 100 $454/$5,000 * 100
= 27.2% 9.08%

What is the present value of this annuity if the discount rate is 12%
Answer:
Present value of annuity = $102,785.2
Explanation:
An annuity is a series of cashflow expected to be received or paid yearly for a certain number of years
The present value of annuity = A×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n) )/r
Where A is the annual cash flow= 25,000
n- number of years = 6
r- rate per period = 12%
25,000 × 1- (1.12)^(-6)/0.12
25,000× 4.111=$102,785.2
Present value of annuity = $102,785.2
Mr. Manning is looking to invest in a one-year stock option and has four possible options. The four options have various rates of return based on whether or not the market rises or fall within the coming year. After consulting with his financial planner, he has the following estimates based on the various market outcomes:
Stock Market Rising Market Stable Market Falling
SUA $68,082 $47,373 $36,362
YSP $64,850 $49,320 $44,865
HTC $57,198 $52,949 $50,605
YHA $59,766 $59,766 $59,766
Mr. Manning’s planner has estimated that the probability the market rises is 60%, stays stable is 30%, and falls is 10%. To assist Mr. Manning in his decision, build a decision tree to model the decision and answer the following question. You do not need to upload your decision tree for this question.
Required:
a. Which stock is the best expected value decision and what is the expected value of that decision?
b. Which stock is the worst expected value decision?
Answer:
Mr. Manning
a. YHA is the best expected value decision with an expected value of $59,766.
b. HTC is the worst expected value decision.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Stock Market Rising Market Stable Market Falling
SUA $68,082 $47,373 $36,362
YSP $64,850 $49,320 $44,865
HTC $57,198 $52,949 $50,605
YHA $59,766 $59,766 $59,766
Expected Value:
Stock Market Rising Market Stable Market Falling Expected Value
Probability 60% 30% 10%
SUA $68,082*60% $47,373*30% $36,362*10% = $58,697
YSP $64,850*60% $49,320*30% $44,865*10% = 58,163
HTC $57,198*60% $52,949*30% $50,605*10% = 55,264
YHA $59,766*60% $59,766*30% $59,766*10% = 59,766
SUA = $40,849.20 + $14,211.90 + $3,636.20 = $58,697.30
YSP = $38,880 + $14,796 + $4,486.50 = $58,162.50
HTC = $34,318.80 + $15,884.70 + $5,060.50 = $55,264
YHA = $35,859.60 + $17,929.80 + $5,976.60 = $59,766
