Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $12 million

Explanation:

The computation of the working capital for the year 2005 is as follows:

As we know that

Working capital is

= Current assets - current liabilities

= $144 million - $132 million

= $12 million

Hence, the working capital for the year 2005 is $12 million

So the correct option is A

The same is to be considered

Estes Park, Inc., has declared a dividend of $6.20 per share. Suppose capital gains are not taxed, but dividends are taxed at 30 percent. New IRS regulations require that taxes be withheld at the time the dividend is paid. The company's stock sells for $113 per share, and the stock is about to go ex-dividend. What do you think the ex-dividend price will be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

the ex-dividend price is $108.66

Explanation:

The computation of the ex-dividend price is shown below:

The Aftertax dividend is

= Dividend × (1 - tax rate)

= $6.20 (1 - 0.30)

= $4.34

Now the exdividend price is

= Selling price of a share - after tax dividend

= $113 - $4.34

= $108.66

hence, the ex-dividend price is $108.66

April's credit card has a balance of $483.42, but the amount that she needs to pay to bring the
card to a $0 balance is $726.18 because she missed a payment. What is April's interest rate?

Answers

The interest rate for April is 50.29%.

What is Interest ?

In the fields of finance and economics, interest is the payment of a sum over and above the principal amount to a lender or depositor by a borrower or deposit-taking financial institution at a set rate.

It is not the same as a fee that the borrower might pay to the lender or another entity.

Given that April's credit card debt is $483.42 but that he needs to make a payment of $726.18, the interest rate for non-payment that he is subject to is as follows:

483.42 = 100

726.18 = X

((726.18 x 100) / 483.42) = X

= X

Consequently,

since 150.29 = 150.29 - 100 = 50.29 %

Ignoring income taxes, by how much should Sheridan's retained earnings be retroactively adjusted at January 1, 2022

Answers

Answer:

the retained earnings retroactively adjusted is $241,500

Explanation:

The computation of the retained earning retroactively adjusted is as follows:

Net income overstated -$54,000 ($254,000 - $200,000)

Net income understated  $41,500 ($121,000 - $79,500)

The Work in Process inventory account of a manufacturing Corporation shows a balance of $5,446 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of the two uncompleted jobs show charges of $880 and $380 for materials, and charges of $660 and $1,160 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the Corporation is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:

Answers

Answer:

130%

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is as follows

Manufacturing overhead is

= $5,446 - ($880 + $360 + $660 + $1,160)

= $2,366

Total direct labor is

= $660 + $1,160

= $1,820

Now as we know that

Manufacturing overhead = Predetermined overhead rate × Direct labor

It can be rewrite as

Predetermined overhead rate = Manufacturing overhead ÷ Direct labor

= $2,366 ÷ $1,820

= 130%

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question by representing the question as follows:

On July 1, 2018, Larkin Co. purchased a $440,000 tract of land that is intended to be the site of a new office complex. Larkin incurred additional costs and realized salvage proceeds during 2018 as follows:

Demolition of existing building on site = $65,000

Legal and other fees to close escrow = $13,500

Proceeds from sale of demolition scrap = $9,400

What would be the balance in the land account as of December 31, 2018?

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

The balance in the land account as of December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the following formula:

Balance in the land account as of December 31, 2018 = Purchase price + Demolition of existing building on site + Legal and other fees to close escrow - Proceeds from sale of demolition scrap ..................... (1)

Substituting the relevant values from the question into equation (1), we have:

Balance in the land account as of December 31, 2018 = $440,000 + $65,000 + $13,500 - $9,400 = $509,100

Therefore, the balance in the land account as of December 31, 2018 woulf be $509,100.

c. 12.59%.
d. 71.62%.
e. 10.65%.

Answers

Answer: e. 10.65%.

Explanation:

First find the expected return of the individual stocks;

Stock A = (0.2 * - 0.182) + (0.51 * 0.108) + (0.29 * 0.28) = 9.99%

Stock B =  (0.2 * - 0.036) + (0.51 * 0.082) + (0.29 * 0.155) = 7.96%

Stock C = (0.2 * - 0.225) + (0.51 * 0.168) + (0.29 * 0.314) = 13.17%

Expected return of portfolio = ∑(Stock expected return * weight)

= (0.4 * 0.0999) + (0.3 * 0.0796) + (0.3 * 0.1317)

= 10.65%

Question is missing detail. Stock B return in recession is negative figure.

Answers

Answer:

Rivera

a. Rivera's civil fraud penalty is:

$5,000 ($45,000 - $40,000)

b. Present value of Rivera's penalty is:

$3,249.50 ($5,000 * 0.6499)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Income tax underpayment = $45,000

Underpayment due to fraud = $40,000

Civil fraud penalty = $5,000 ($45,000 - 40,000)

Rate of return = 9%

Number of years = 5 years

Present value factor = 0.6499

b) The present value of the penalty represents the $5,000 discounted to its present value using the discount factor of 0.6499.  This results into $3,249.50 after 5 years at an interest rate of 9% per annum.

Answers

Answer:

total cost of goods sold = $78,520

Explanation:

Inventory Purchases Sales

May 1 1,300 units at $36

May 10 650 units at $38

May 12 910 units

Cost of goods sold = (650 x $38) + (260 x $36) = $34,060

May 20 585 units at $40

May 14 780 units

Cost of goods sold = (585 x $40) + (195 x $36) = $30,420

May 31 390 units

Cost of goods sold = 390 x $36 = $14,040

total cost of goods sold = $34,060 + $30,420 + $14,040 = $78,520

The following information was available from the inventory records of Sheffield Corp. for January: Units Unit Cost Total Cost Balance at January 1 9200 $9.73 $89516 Purchases: January 6 6400 10.31 65984 January 26 7900 10.71 84609 Sales January 7 (7700 ) January 31 (11300 ) Balance at January 31 4500 Assuming that Sheffield does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar

Answers

Answer:

$45,990

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Cost Method, calculates a new Unit Cost with every purchase that is made. This is applicable to perpetual Inventory method. In this case we are required to use the periodic Inventory method (Sheffield does not maintain perpetual inventory records). Thus our Unit Cost is calculated from Inventory available for Sale.

Step 1

Units Available For Sales Calculation :

Opening Balance                           9,200

Add Purchases (6,400 + 7,900)   14,300

Units Available for Sale               23,500

Less Units Sold (7700 + 11300)  (19,000)

Ending Inventory Units                  4,500

Step 2

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Units Available for Sale

                = ($89,516  + $65,984 + $84,609) ÷ 23,500

                = $10.22

Step 3

Ending Inventory = Units in Stock × Unit Cost

                             = 4,500 × $10.22

                             = $45,990

The cost of sending a child to college has increased by 7 percent per year, and you believe this will be true for the next twelve years. How much will the annual tuition be when your child is eighteen

Answers

Answer:

$270,263

Explanation:

Costs = $30,000 per year

Cost  for 4 years  = $30000*4 = $120,000

A = P(1+r/100)^n

A = 120000*(1+0.07/100)^12

A = 120000*2.252191

A = 270262.92

A = $270,263

Therefore, the annual tuition when the child is eighteen will be $270,263.

Analysts expect the price of Westsyde Tool Company shares to be $29 a year from now. The beta of Westsyde Tool Company's stock is 1.2. Using a one-period valuation model, the intrinsic value of Westsyde Tool Company stock today is ________.

Answers

Answer:

The required return = 6% + 7.2%

The required return = 13.2%

Intrinsic value = Future dividend *Present value of discounting factor  + Value*Present value of discounting factor

Intrinsic value = $2/1.132 + $29/1.132

Intrinsic value = $1.76678 + $25.6184

Intrinsic value =  $27.38518

Intrinsic value = $27.39

Thus, the intrinsic value of Westsyde Tool Company stock today is $27.39

Answer:

How network externalities help a monopoly retain its market power:

By exploiting network externalities, a firm can become a natural monopoly.

Explanation:

In economics, Network externality describes a situation whereby the demand for a product depends on the demand of other consumers buying that product.  This implies that the value of the product to the consumer is increased because others are joining as buyers.  The present owners of a network product will actually gain more benefits as new buyers purchase the good because the fixed costs of rendering the service or providing the good are not increased with increasing buyers, but remain the same over a relevant range.

This might not seem 1unusual. My mother hates cats. Perhaps hate is 2 to strong a word. She definitely fears them. She cant help it. I guess 3 one could say this fear is inherited. Her mother, her three aunts, and her grandmother all share this phobia. Nonetheless, the kitten is a beloved member of our family now. 4 Heres the story:5 One summer morning in August, Mom and Aunt Fran went to the school track to walk. Off in the distance they heard a noise that sounded like a baby screaming. It was coming from a dumpster near the cafeteria. Alarmed, they moved closer to investigate. The wailing grew louder. Aunt Fran gasped when she saw the tiny head of a kitten trapped in a small opening in the bottom of the dumpster. 6 Its body could not make it through the hole. Hopelessly trapped, 7 we saw that the creature continued to shriek. The women looked around for a mother 8 cat. None in sight.They realized that the summer heat would be unbearable by midday. Quelling their fears, they rattled off options: call for someone to come help; push the kittens head back into the dumpster; 9pulling the rest of its body out of the opening; leave and hope someone who is not afraid finds the kitten in time; ignore the screeching and get walking.10 Mom picked up a discarded jacket and covered the kittens head. She pulled gently, then firmly, but that kittens body was not coming out. So now it was Aunt Frans turn. After several attempts she pushed the kittens head back into the dumpster. Maternal instincts kicked in and my mother climbed into the dumpster. 11 Cautiously, she picked up the kitten.Aunt Fran 13 said we oughtta name her D.D. for dumpster diver, but we were set on Lily. After our trip with the kitty to the vet, we learned that Lily is a boy! Of course we plan to change his name. We havent convinced Mom that we need a friend for the kitty, but I am optimistic. I like the name Frank, but my sister is pushing for Harold. Whatever name we choose, I am glad that mom and Aunt Fran were able to face their fears.What traditional theme is conveyed through this story?Question 19 options:The importance of family petsThe importance of sistersThe importance of overcoming fearsThe importance of family Last year's cost, c, of a water park season pass increased 35%.
