KW Steel Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation. Waretown Steel, KW’s major competitor, instead uses the FIFO method. The following are excerpts from each company’s 20X1 financial statements:

KW Steel Corp. Waretown Steel ($ in millions)
20X1 20X0 20X1 20X0
Balance sheet inventories $797.6 $692.7 $708.2 $688.6
LIFO reserve 378.0 334.9
Sales 4,284.8 4,029.7 3,584.2 3,355.8
Cost of goods sold 3,427.8 3,226.5 2,724.0 2,617.5

B/sheet inventories      $797.6      $692.7         $708.2      $688.6

LIFO reserve                   378.0        334.9

Sales                            4,284.8     4,029.7         3,584.2     3,355.8

Cost of goods sold     3,427.8     3,226.5         2,724.0      2,617.5

Gross margin               $857.0     $803.2          $860.0      $738.3

Gross margin %             20%                                24%

Average Inventory =  $745.15                         $698.4        

Inventory Turnover    4.6 ($3,427.8/$745.15)  3.9  ($2,724.0/$698.4)

b. Restatement of KW's cost of goods sold and inventory balances to FIFO:

                                     KW Steel Corp.           Waretown Steel

                                       ($ in millions)                ($ in millions)

                                     20X1         20X0           20X1         20X0

Gross margin             $479.0     $468.3          $860.0      $738.3

Gross margin %           11.2%                                24%

Inventory Turnover    9.8 ($3,805.8/$388.75)  3.9  ($2,724.0/$698.4)

c. The performance of KW Steel worsened with the reinstatement of the LIFO reserves.  Before the reinstatement, KW Steel was running closely behind its competitor, Waretown Steel.  But after the reinstatement, Waretown gave KW Steel more gap in performance.  This reinstatement shows that when the performances of two companies are compared based on different criteria, the financial analyst will likely arrive at a wrong conclusion.

Your client, Bob, is the CEO of a corporation that has 12 stockholders who are also the only employees of the business. The corporation operates a boat dealership in Sherman, Texas. The corporation has accumulated earnings and profits of $3,000,000, not including the current year’s taxable income, which is expected to be $800,000. No dividends have been paid to stockholders. Bob has been very pleased with the corporation’s performance and he wants to reward the stockholders.
1. Why should Bob declare a cash dividend over giving stockholders a bonus?2. Why should Bob not consider paying a larger year-end bonus to his employee/stockholders’

Answers

Answer:

1. Why should Bob declare a cash dividend over giving stockholders a bonus?

Bob should not declare a cash dividend, instead he should give the employees/stockholders a bonus. A corporation distributes dividends with their after tax income, while bonuses actually decrease net income and lowers taxes. it is always better to pay less taxes.

2. Why should Bob not consider paying a larger year-end bonus to his employee/stockholders’.

In this case, if you have to choose between declaring a dividend or paying a bonus, Bob should definitely pay a bonus. But the bonus should not be larger than the corporation's expected income. It is not a good idea to incur in an operating loss due to huge bonuses.

Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2015:

Allister Barone
Inventory $50,000 $300,000
Sales 1,000,000 8,00,000
Investment income Not given
Cost of goods sold 500,000 400,000
Operating expenses 230,000 300,000

Allister acquired 90 percent of Barone in January 2020. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $66,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a six-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2021, Barone sells inventory costing $135,000 to Allister for $190,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end.

Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2015:

a. Inventory
b. Sales
c. Cost of Goods Sold
d. Operating Expenses
e. Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest

Answers

Answer:

a. $344,500

b. $1,610,000

c. $405,500

d. $530,000

e. $9,550 loss

Explanation:

First, Eliminate the Intragroup transactions as follows :

Elimination Journal for the Intragroup Sale :

Sales (Barone) $190,000 (debit)

Cost of Sales (Allister) $190,000 (credit)

Elimination of unrealized profit in closing inventory :

Cost of Sales (Barone)  $5,500 (debit)

Inventory (Allister)  $5,500 (credit)

Unrealized Profit in Inventory ($190,000 - $135,000) × 10% = $5,500

Then, Consolidate the Financial Statements taking into account the elimination journals

Note : Consolidation is 100% of Parent + 100% of Subsidiary.

Note : A firm that is exercising control (> 50% Voting Rights) is required to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 3.

Consolidated Income Statement

Sales (1,000,000 + 8,00,000 - $190,000)                                 $1,610,000

Cost of Sales ( $500,000 + 400,000 - $190,000 + $5,500)     ($715,500)

Gross Profit                                                                                   $894,500

Less Operating Expenses ($230,000 + $300,000)                  ($530,000)

Net Income                                                                                    $364,500

Consolidated Financial Statement (Extract)

Inventory ($50,000 + $300,000 - $5,500)                                 $344,500

Subsidiary Profit

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = Net Subsidiary Income × % Non Controlling Interest

Net Subsidiary Income - Barone

Sales (800,000 - 190,000)                                  $610,000

Less Cost of Sales ( 400,000 + 5,500)            ($405,500)

Gross Profit                                                          $204,500

Less Operating Expenses                                 ($300,000)

Net Income/ (loss)                                                ($95,500)

Therefore,

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = ($95,500) × 10%

                                                                                      = $9,550 loss

Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $4. In year 2, the quantity produced is 4 bars and the price is $5. In year 3, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $6. Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The nominal GDP is the market value of goods within a country adjusted for price change.

Nominal GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at current price = 3 bars × $4 = $12

Nominal GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at current price = 4 bars × $5 = $20

Nominal GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at current price = 5 bars × $6 = $30

The real GDP is the market value of goods within a country at current price.

Real GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 3 bars × $4 = $12

Real GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 4 bars × $4 = $16

Real GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 5 bars × $4 = $20

GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP multiplied by 100.

GDP deflator in year 1 = (Nominal GDP in year 1 / Real GDP in year 1) × 100 = ($12/$12) × 100 = 100

GDP deflator in year 2 = (Nominal GDP in year 2 / Real GDP in year 2) × 100 = ($20/$16) × 125 = 100

GDP deflator in year 3 = (Nominal GDP in year 3 / Real GDP in year 3) × 100 = ($30/$20) × 100 = 150

The missing word is: Financial Risk

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Financial Risk" is used in the field of business and finances in order to explain that the companies, and also the government, have to find a way to determine how the firm will finance itself so that they could pay for all the assets they own. Moreover, this financial term implicates the loss of the money that can happen when the company needs to invest in assets and the operations may not go right. So that is why that it is a concept used to understand the danger that the organization has when it comes to acquire the assets and pay for them.

how globalization has changed jobs in an organization where you have worked. What are some HR responses to those changes

Answers

Explanation:

Globalization is a phenomenon that has interconnected the world in a political, economic, social and cultural way, which means that this phenomenon has had a significant impact on an organization's business world and HR sector.

An organization that is present in a globalized world, will need to develop new ways of carrying out processes, since this environment is increasingly competitive and needs creativity and innovation for a company to remain well positioned in the market. It is also necessary to highlight that people have new work demands and seek to work in companies that exercise corporate governance and improve their socio-environmental environment.

Therefore, HR was positively impacted by globalization in a positive way, establishing an integration of its processes and people, in order to seek cultural and professional diversity in the recruited professionals, which combine greater innovation and competence for the company. In addition, organizations are more flexible and open to communication, assertiveness, self-management and processes that assist in innovation, motivation and continuous improvement of processes.

a. In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.
Nell's basis for the stock is _______$ X
Kirby's basis in the house is ______$ X
b. Nell will receive $1,000 per month for 120 months. If she dies before receiving all 120 payments, the remaining payments will be made to her estate.
The payments (qualify, do not qualify) as alimony and are (included in, excluded from) Nell's gross income as they are received.
c. Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.

Answers

Answer:

a. In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.

Nell's basis for the stock is $150,000

Kirby's basis in the house is $300,000

The transfer of property due to divorce is nontaxable. The $50,000 that Nell receives is generally considered alimony (for tax purposes).

b. Nell will receive $1,000 per month for 120 months. If she dies before receiving all 120 payments, the remaining payments will be made to her estate.

The payments NOT QUALIFY as alimony and are EXCLUDED FROM Nell's gross income as they are received.

The TC&JA changed alimony rules and made them not deductible for the spouse that gives it, and not taxable for the spouse that receives it. It now works in a similar manner than child support. It doesn't make any difference now if payments are alimony or not.

c. Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.

$300 per month is alimony that is EXCLUDED FROM Nell's gross income, and the remaining $900 per month is considered​ CHILD SUPPORT and is NONTAXABLE to Nell.

Again, the TC&JA changed the rules, so alimony received is not taxable.

d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.

Explanation:

Looking at the scenario in the question above, it is possible to say that James Dodgsen was dishonest in copying Jane's responses.

This question leads us to the conclusion that Dodgen's schedule lacked organization. As much as he was prepared for the other classes and having just coincided with a surprise test when he couldn't find time to study the content of that class specifically, there is a problem looking at his classmate's answers when the test given by the teacher was individual guidance.

The organization of the agenda is essential for a student of business administration, since the corporate environment consists of the functions of organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling, therefore there must be established times for each task of daily fulfillment, whether in a personal or professional environment. , so that there is a greater possibility of fulfilling the essential tasks and the established objectives are properly achieved

Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument

Answers

Answer:

A)Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby

Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.

In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.

Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.

You are CEO of Rivet Networks, maker of ultra-high performance network cards for gaming computers, and you are considering whether to launch a new product. The product, the Killer X3000, will cost $900,000 to develop up front (year 0), and you expect revenues the first year of $800,000, growing to $1.5 million the second year, and then declining by 40% per year for the next 3 years before the product is fully obsolete. In years 1 through 5, you will have fixed costs associated with the product of $100,000 per year, and variable costs equal to 50% of revenues.
A. What are the cash flows for the project in years 0 through 51
B. Plot the NPV profile for this nvestment using discount rates from 0% to 50% in 5% increments.
C. What is the project's NPV if the project's cost of capital is 10%?
D. Use the NPV profile to estimate the cost of capital at which the project would become unprofitable; that is, estimate the project's IRR or calculate it using the data.

Revenues vear 2 $1,500,000
Revenues decline years 4000
Fixed costs vears 1-5 $100,000
Variable costs 50%

Answers

Answer:

F= (900,000)

F1= 300,000

F2 = 650,000

F3 = 350,000

F4 = 170,000

F5 = 62,000

NPV at 10% $327487

IRR 20.587%

Explanation:

F0 -900,000

        revenues     variable cost   fixed cost   net flow

F1  800,000 -400000  -100,000 = 300,000

F2  1,500,000 -750000  -100,000 =  650,000

F3  900000 -450000  -100,000 =  350,000

F4  540000 -270000  -100,000 =    170,000

F5  324000 -162000  -100,000 =     62,000

NPV at 10%:

For each cashflow, we apply the discount of a lump sum formula

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]

And add them together for the net present value

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Year&$cashflow&PV\\0&-900,000&-900,000\\1&300,000&272,727\\2&650,000&537,190\\3&350,000&262,960\\4&170,000&116,112\\5&62,000&38,497\\Total&&327487\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

We solve for the IRR using the excel IRR formula

we list the cashflow and use IRR to select them.

A group of 10 pineapple pickers can pick 240 pineapples in an hour. When one more pineapple picker is added to the group, they can pick 270 pineapples in an hour. Calculate the marginal product of the 11th pineapple picker.

Answer:

They both receive capital to use for growth.

Explanation:

The government received the capital in the form of tax that being paid by the citizens. After collecting the tax income, the government allocated it to make a couple of investments such as building the country's infrastructure, providing aid for people to pursue education, and investing in scientific research/development.

Business on the other hand could receive their capital from either reallocating their profit or receiving capital injection from the investors. They use the capital for growth by reinvesting it to increase the scope of their business operation or putting it under investment accounts.

1. Accrual accounting is used by the vast majority of companies. *
O
True
O False​

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The accrual accounting system is one of the two methods of reporting or recording income and expenses. The other way is the cash system.

In the accrual method, income and expenses are accounted for when they were earned or incurred regardless of whether money changed hands. Sales are reported when goods are delivered, and the invoice is issued even if the customer has not paid.

The accrual system is the standard method of operating for many businesses, big and small. The accrual method matches revenue and income with the time of their respective economic events. The general accounting principles recommend the accrual accounting system for both the private and public sectors.

What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? (Answer: $324.61) c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays 8% interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?

a) PV = $100/1.08 + $100/1.08² + $100/1.08³ = $257.71

b) FV = $257.71 x (1 + 8%)³ = $324.64

c) FV = ($100 x 1.08²) + ($100 x 1.08) + $100 = $324.64

it is exactly the same as the answer for (b)
