Answer:
Kapono Farms
Case A:
a. The loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange is:
= $6,600.
The initial value of the new tractor is:
= $38,900.
b. The gain that Kapono would recognize on the exchange is:
= $6,500.
The initial value of the new tractor, if cash payment of $29,000 was made, would be:
= $52,000.
Case B:
c. The amount of gain that Kapono would recognize on the exchange is:
= $245,000.
The initial value of the new land is:
= $790,000.
d. The amount of the loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange of land is:
= $109,000.
The initial value of the new land is $495,000, if payment of $59,000 is made.
e. If the exchange lacked commercial substance, there is no gain or loss.
The initial value of the new land would be the book value of the old farmland, which is:
= $545,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Book value of old tractor = $16,500 $16,500
Fair value of old tractor = 9,900 23,000
Loss from the exchange = $6,600 -6,500
Value of new tractor
Fair value of old tractor = $9,900 $23,000
Cash payment to complete 29,000 29,000
Value of new tractor $38,900 $52,000
Case B:
Book value of farmland = $545,000 $545,000
Fair value of farmland = 790,000 436,000
Gain from exchange = $245,000 $109,000
Value of New Farmland:
Fair value of old farmland $790,000 $436,000

Suppose you are the money manager of a $4.08 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas: Stock Investment Beta A $ 320,000 1.50 B 540,000 (0.50) C 1,420,000 1.25 D 1,800,000 0.75 If the market's required rate of return is 13% and the risk-free rate is 4%, what is the fund's required rate of return
Answer:
r fund = 0.11356617647 or 11.356617647% rounded off to 11.36
Explanation:
The required rate of return on the fund can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The equation is as follows,
r fund = rRF + beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
r fund is the required rate of return of the fundrRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketTo calculate the required rate of return of the fund, we first need to calculate the fund beta. The beta on fund can be calculated using the formula for portfolio beta which is,
Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolioPortfolio or fund beta = 320000/4080000 * 1.5 + 540000/4080000 * -0.5 + 1420000/4080000 * 1.25 + 1800000/4080000 * 0.75
Portfolio or fund beta = 0.81740196078 rounded off to 0.82
The required rate of return on fund will be,
r fund = 4% + 0.81740196078 * (13% - 4%)
r fund = 0.11356617647 or 11.356617647% rounded off to 11.36

It is now January 1, 2013, and you are considering the purchase of an outstanding bond that was issued on January 1, 2011. It has a 7 percent annual coupon and had a 30-year original maturity. (It matures on December 31, 2040.) There were 11 years of call protection (until December 31, 2021), after which time it can be called at 108.5 percent of par, or $1,085. Interest rates have fallen since the bond was issued, and it is now selling at 115.5 percent of par, or $1,155. If you bought this bond, what rate of return would you probably earn, assuming you hold the bonds until they either mature or are called
Answer:
a. Assuming you hold the bonds until they mature, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTM of 5.89%.
b. Assuming you hold the bonds until they are called, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTC of 5.65%.
Explanation:
This can be determined by calculating the YTM and YTC as follows:
a. Calculation of Yield to Maturity (YTM)
The bond's Yield to Maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = yield to maturity = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity = 30
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7% * $1,000 = $70 = 70
pv = present value = current bond price = $1,155 = 1155
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(30,70,-1155,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(30,70,-1155,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 5.89%.
Therefore, assuming you hold the bonds until they mature, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTM of 5.89%.
b. Calculation of Yield to Call (YTC)
The bond's Yield to call can be calculated using the following RATE function
in Excel:
YTC = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .....................(3)
Where;
YTM = yield to call = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years of call protection = 11
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7% * $1,000 = $70 = 70
pv = present value = current bond price = $1,155 = 1155
fv = future value of the bond or the amount at which the bond can be called = $1,085 = 1085
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
YTM = RATE(11,70,-1155,1085) ............ (4)
Inputting =RATE(11,70,-1155,1085) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 5.65%.
Therefore, assuming you hold the bonds until they are called, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTC of 5.65%.

Assuming a maximum annual debt service of $68,000, calculate the organization's debt service coverage ratio.
a. 1.46
b. 1.78
c. 0.79
d. 0.13
Answer:
0.47
Explanation:
Debt service coverage ratio = Net Operating Income ÷ Total Debt Service
where,
Net Operating Income = Revenue - Certain Operating Expenses
Total Debt Service = Current Debt Obligations
therefore,
debt service coverage ratio = $32,000 ÷ $68,000 = 0.47

How to control quality?
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Set your quality standards.
In some industries, you may have to meet quality standards set by an outside body, such as an industry association, the local health and safety inspector, or a government regulatory agency. In others, there aren't any official quality standards, so you'll need to set your own.
Each department of your business will have different quality control standards. However, they must all be objectively measurable. For example, if you're developing quality control standards for your customer service team, “sounding friendly on the phone" is not a measurable standard. Measurable standards might include:
Answering all customer calls by the second ring
Responding to all customer service emails within four hours
Resolving customer service problems in five minutes or less
2. Decide which quality standards to focus on.
Of course, you want to ensure quality in all aspects of your operation. However, begin by focusing on the most important measures — those that have the biggest effect on your profits and your customer experience. This will enable you to get results quickly and also keeps you and your team from becoming overwhelmed.
For instance, if you own a restaurant, keeping the restrooms clean is definitely something to monitor in your quality control program—but not the most important thing. Getting orders out to customers quickly and accurately is a more important standard because it has a more direct effect on the quality of experience and customer satisfaction.
3. Create operational processes to deliver quality.
W. Edwards Deming, the founder of modern quality control, believed that well-designed processes lead to high-quality products and services. If you create good processes, continually measure the results of the processes, and work to consistently improve the process, your product or service will get better and better.
Starting with your critical operations, create step-by-step processes that include benchmarks. For instance, in a B2B company's accounting department, operational processes might require preparing and delivering invoices within 24 hours after a job is completed or a product is delivered. In a restaurant, operational processes might require servers to pick up food for delivery to the customer’s table within two minutes of it being prepared.
4. Review your results.
Most business software, from financial and accounting apps to customer relationship management or customer service tools, lets you customize the information you collect and use dashboards to view it at a glance. Review your data regularly to see how well your company is meeting its quality standards.
5. Get feedback.
Use measurable feedback from external sources, such as customer surveys, online ratings and reviews and net promoter scores (NPS), to get a fuller picture of product and service quality. Also, get regular feedback from employees. How well are the operational processes working to deliver quality? How could they be improved?
6. Make improvements.
Once you’re meeting your quality control standards, don't stop there. For example, if you own a residential cleaning service business and you can cut the time it takes your maids to clean a home by 25 percent, you’ll be able to handle 25 percent more business without hiring any additional employees. That will really boost your bottom line.
No matter how well your processes are running, quality control shows there's always room for improvement, and making small changes can pay off in big ways.

Diving Fiasco. Mike, who owns a dive shop in the United States, decides to take a group of his customers diving in U.S. waters. Mike is aware that sharks occasionally visit the area where the divers will be visiting. He is also aware that while stingrays are usually tame, they can become aggressive when fed. Mike does not reveal that information to the group of divers going with him. The divers go down into the water, and some have squid with which to feed the stingrays. During the dive, one of the stingrays becomes agitated and latches onto diver Susie's arm. Susie is so disconcerted that she drops her regulator (her breathing device) from her mouth and is in considerable difficulty. Another diver, Billy, encounters a shark, which snaps at him. While the shark does not actually bite Billy, the attack results in damage to his diving equipment. Mike, who is in charge of the dive, does nothing to help and leaves the other divers to return to the boat because the dive turned out to be more trouble than expected. Wendy, another diver on the trip, also returns to the boat without doing anything to help the divers in distress. Sam, on the other hand, goes to rescue the divers who are in distress. He manages to do so but in the process he pulls his back and requires medical care. All divers are very unhappy with Mike. Billy and Susie are annoyed that Mike did not come to their assistance. Which is true regarding Mike's duty to provide assistance to them during the dive?
A) Mike had no duty to provide any assistance to them.
B) Mike had a duty to come to their aid because he arranged the dive and was charging them.
C) Mike had a duty to come to their assistance only if he had specifically agreed to do so prior to the dive.
D) Mike had a duty to come to their assistance only if they were minors.
E) Mike had a duty to come to their assistance only if no one else did so.
Answer:
B) Mike had a duty to come to their aid because he arranged the dive and was charging them.
Explanation:
Mike organized the diving trip as part of his business activities. he is making money out of it, he is not doing it for free. He should haver warned the other divers about the risks involved and should also help them in case they are in trouble. When you provide a service, you are responsible for your customers' safety.

Monty loaned his friend Ned $24,000 three years ago. Ned signed a note and made payments on the loan. Last year, when the remaining balance was $18,000, Ned filed for bankruptcy and notified Monty that he would be unable to pay the balance on the loan. Monty treated the $18,000 as a nonbusiness bad debt. Last year, before considering the tax implications of the nonbusiness bad debt, Monty had capital gains of $7,200 and taxable income of $42,000. During the current year, Ned paid Monty $16,200 in satisfaction of the debt.
Determine Monty's tax treatment for the $16,200 received in the current year.
The nonbusiness bad debt of $18,000 would have been reported as a ________ , and $________ would be included in Monty's gross income.
Answer:
Short term capital loss and $10,800
Explanation:
Remaining balance - Capital gains
$18,000 - $7,200 = $10,800
Monty can report the bad debt of $18,000 as short term capital loss since it is expense for the business and receivables are not recoverable. This amount can be reported as loss of the business.
Community hospital of the west is experiencing changes occurring throughout the facility, many of the employees are concerned about how the change will affect their current position and workflow. Although the employees are aware that change is occurring in the facility, there has been little communication regarding the changes and the employees are feeling unsettled. Describe the steps the hospital needs to do in order to better support employees during the transitional phase of change. What are some consequences for the hospital if this type of support is not provided
Answer:
in order to support the employees during the transitional phase of change, the hospital could try helping the employees get used to the new changes by maybe adding facilities that they are used to or maybe arrange some colleagues that the employees are familiar with to work with them, so they can get used to the new things with some support by their side.
consequences the hospital May face if they don't support their employees to make them feel more comfortable in their workplace, many of their workers May quit and it would be hard to find new employees and it would be time-consuming to teach the new employees all over again.
another consequence is that if their employees are the ones that make a lot of people want to go to their Hospital community, then losing them may make the people that go to the hospital community to not want to return again and maybe leave a bad review, since the help support care and treatment probably isn't the same.
Assume that the risk-free rate is 5.5% and the required return on the market is 12%. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.8
Answer: 17.2%
Explanation:
You can use the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate the required return here given the variables in the question:
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 5.5% + 1.8 * ( 12% - 5.5%)
= 5.5% + 11.7%
= 17.2%
In 2020, Ensley drove her automobile 28,500 miles. She incurred the following expenses during the year related to the automobile: Gas and oil, lubrication: $1,800 Insurance: $980 Repairs: $360 Licenses and registration fees: $50 Business parking and tolls: $170 She uses the automobile 80% for business. Based on the data, Ensley's automobile deduction under the actual cost method is $fill in the blank 1.
Answer: $2722
Explanation:
Ensley's automobile deduction under the actual cost method is calculated below:
Gas and oil = $1800
Add: Insurance = $980
Add: Repairs = $360
Add: Licenses and registration fees = $50
Total Expenses = $3190
We then calculate the business usage which will be:
= 80% of $3190
= 0.8 × $3190
= $2552
We then add the cost of business parking and tolls, then the total deduction will be:
= $2552 + $170
= $2722

Supreme Fitness Club uses straight-line depreciation for a machine costing $28,150, with an estimated four-year life and a $2,750 salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Supreme determines that the machine has three more years of remaining useful life, after which it will have an estimated $2,300 salvage value. (1) Compute the machine’s book value at the end of its second year.
Answer:
1. $15,450
2. $4,383
Explanation:
1. Computation to determine the machine’s book value at the end of its second year
First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation
Annual depreciation= ($28,150 - $2,750) / 4
Annual depreciation=$25,400/4
Annual depreciation= $6,350
Now let calculate the machine’s book value at the end of its second year
Machine’s book value=$28,150 - ($6,350 *2)
Machine’s book value=$28,150 -$12,700
Machine’s book value=$15,450
Therefore the machine’s book value at the end of its second year will be $15,450
2. Calculation to determine the amount of depreciation for each of the final three years given the revised estimated.
Depreciation for each of the final three years=
($15,450 - $2,300) / 3
Depreciation for each of the final three years=$13,150/3
Depreciation for each of the final three years=
= $4,383
Therefore the amount of depreciation for each of the final three years given the revised estimated will be $4,383
Emil borrowed money so he would be able to afford to add a screened-in porch to the back of his house. When he applied for the loan, the rate on the loan was very low based given the current market trends. Over the following months, however, the market fluctuated a great deal, and suddenly he was faced with higher rates for the same loan. Which type of financial risk did Emil face?
a. income risk
b. interest rate risk
c. personal risk
d. inflation risk
Answer:
since i chose inflation risk and that was incorrect the only other logical option for me would be option B. Interest rate risk
Explanation:
The financial risk that Emil faced when he borrowed money at a low rate but due to market fluctuations, he faced higher rates later was b. interest rate risk.
What is interest rate risk?Interest rate risk is a financial risk that results from changes in the interest rate of an investment or loan.
Increasing credit risk gives rise to increased debt exposure. This can force a lending institution to increase the interest rate if the contract recognized a fluctuating rate (not fixed) at the initiation stage.
Thus, the type of financial risk that Emil faced when he borrowed money at a low rate but due to market fluctuations, he faced higher rates later was b. interest rate risk.

Consider two bonds, F and G. Both bonds presently are selling at their par value of $1,000. Each pays interest of $90 annually. Bond F will mature in 15 years while bond G will mature in 26 years. If the yields to maturity on the two bonds change from 9% to 10%, Group of answer choices both bonds will increase in value, but bond F will increase more than bond G. both bonds will increase in value, but bond G will increase more than bond F. both bonds will decrease in value, but bond F will decrease more than bond G. both bonds will decrease in value, but bond G will decrease more than bond F.
Answer:
Option D or the Last statement is the correct one.
Explanation:
As we can see, this is a multiple choice question with four options A, B , C , D.
And we are given two Bonds F and G.
Par Value of Both Bonds = $1000
Bond F Maturity = 15 Years
Bond G Maturity = 26 Years
Both Pays Interest = $90 Annually
Yield to Maturity Change from = 9% to 10%
So,
The correction option to this question is option D. The Last Statement.
Option D = Both bonds will decrease in value, but bond G will decrease more than bond F.
Reasoning:
The reason behind this answer is related to number of years of maturity of the bond. There is a simple rule that, Longer the maturity, the greater the price change when interest rates changes. Similarly, Shorter the maturity, the shorter the price change when interest rates change. So, here in this case, Bond G has greater number of years of maturity which is 26 Years as compared to Bond F.

There are 3 servers in the checkout area. The interarrival time of customers is 2 minutes. The processing time is 5 minutes. The coefficients of variation for the arrival process and the service process are 1 and 0.85 respectively. What will be the impact on the average number of customers in service if one more server is added
Answer:
As the one more server is added the Average number of customers in service reduces from ( 5.585 to 3.019 ) which is a reduction of 2.566
Explanation:
interval time of customers ( a ) = 2 minutes
processing time ( p ) = 5 minutes
coefficient of variation for arrival process ( Cva ) = 1
coefficient of variation for service process ( Cvp ) = 0.85
Determine the impact on the average number of customers in service if one more server is added
For three (3) servers ( m ) we will have
flow rate = 1 / a = 1/2 = 0.5
x = ( 2 (m+1) -1 ) ^0.5
where m = 3 ( number of servers )
hence X = 2.645
now lets determine
i) utilization = p / (m*a). where p = 5 , m = 3 , a = 2
hence utilization ( u ) = 0.833 , 1 - u = 1 - 0.833 = 0.167
ii) Time spent in queue
time spent in queue = 6.17 minutes
number of customers been served = mu = 3 * 0.833 = 2.500
number of customers waiting to be served = waiting time / arrival time
= 6.17 / 2 = 3.085
iii) Average customer in queue = number of customers been serviced + number of customers waiting to be served = 2.5 + 3.085 = 5.585
For 4 servers ( m = 4 )
x = ( 2 (m+1) -1 ) ^0.5
= ( 2 ( 5 ) - 1 ) ^ 0.5 = 3
utilization = p / (m*a). where p = 5 , m = 4 , a = 2
hence utilization = 0.625 ,
Time spent in queue = 1.039 minutes ( using equation 2 )
number of customers been serviced = m* u = 2.5
number of customers waiting to be served = waiting time / arrival time
= 1.039 / 2 = 0.520
Average customer in queue = number of customers been serviced + number of customers waiting to be served = 2.5 + 0.520 = 3.019
hence as the one more server is added the Average number of customers in service reduces from ( 5.585 to 3.019 ) which is a reduction of 2.566
Luebke Inc. has provided the following data for the month of November. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $53,000 and at the end of the month was $30,100. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $212,500. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $55,300 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $58,400. The company closes out any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead to cost of goods sold. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:
Answer:
$232,300
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, and given that;
Actual overhead = $55,300
Applied overhead = $58,400
Over applied overhead = $58,400 - $55,300 = $3,100
Unadjusted cost of goods sold
= $53,000 + $212,500 - $30,100
= $235,400
Therefore, the adjusted cost of goods sold
= $235,400 - $3,100
= $232,300
