Mary invested $20,000 to open a bakery business. The cost of making one muffin is $1. Assuming that the sales reach 1000 pieces, she wishes to earn 10% as a return on investment. What is the target return price of product?
The target return price will be $
Answer:
The target return price will be $2
Explanation:
From the information given,
For the muffin product:
The sales made = 1000
Cost for 1 muffin = $1
Therefore, total money made
No of sales X cost price =
1000 X $1 = $1000
The amount invested on the business = $20,000
She want to earn 10% on the investment =
10% of $20,000 = $2000
The target return price would be,
Return on investment / no of sales made
= $2000/ 1000 = $2

How many units of products must MusicWizard sell to make an operating profit of $120,000 for the year
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 6,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit $125.00
Total unitary variable cost= $75
Total fixed costs= $180,000
Desired profit= $120,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (180,000 + 120,000) / (125 - 75)
Break-even point in units= 6,000

Feb. Year 2 _$80,000_ $17,000 ______$27,200_________$69,800
Use following formula to calculate the Purchases
Cost of Goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory
Purchases = Cost of Goods sold - Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory
Placing value of Jan Year 2
Purchases = $60,000 - $20,400 + $27,200 = $66,800
Placing value of Feb Year 2
Purchases = $80,000 - $27,200 + $17,000 = $69,800

Explanation:
Calculation for What amount of gain or goodwill is recognized by ABC
Using this formula
Gain/Goodwill =[Tangible assets -( Cash - Net assets)+Fair value ]
Let plug in the formula
Gain/Goodwill =[$600,000-( $4,200,000- $3,600,000)+$320,000]

..........................
Westsyde Tool Company is expected to pay a dividend of $2 in the upcoming year. The risk-free rate of return is 6%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. 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 ________.
Answer:
$27.39
Explanation:
The required return = Risk-free rate + Beta*(market rate- risk-free rate)
The required return = 6% + 1.2*(12%-6%)
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

What is LAL's net cash flows from financing activities for 2020
Answer: $21,000
Explanation:
Financing activities refer to those that a company engages in, in relation to capital needed to run the affairs of the business which means it included Equity and Debt.
Financing Activities: Interest paid, dividends paid, money borrowed from bank, stock repurchase
Net cash flows from financing = Money borrowed from bank - Interest paid - dividends paid - Stock repurchase
= 50,000 - 6,000 - 8,000 - 15,000
= $21,000
Perpetual Inventory Using Weighted AverageBeginning inventory, purchases, and sales for J101 are as follows:Oct. 1 Inventory480 units at $1413 Sale280 units22 Purchase600 units at $1629 Sale450 unitsa. Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the weighted average method, determine the weighted average unit cost after the October 22 purchase. Round your answer to two decimal places.$fill in the blank 1160.44 per unit
Answer:
The weighted average unit cost after the October 22 purchase is $15.50
Explanation:
Under the weighted average method of inventory valuation, the closing inventory is valued at weighted average cost.
It can be calculated as follow
Weighted average unit cost = Inventory Balance / Numbers on units in Inventory
_________________________________ Balance
Date __ Details ___Units_ Rate__Value _ ( Units_Value __ WA cost )
Oct. 1 _ Inventory__480__ $14 __$6,720_( 480__$6,720__ $14 )

Oct.22 _Sale_____ 600__ $16 __$9,600_( 800__$12,400__$15.5 )
Placing outstanding values in the above formula
Weighted average unit cost = $12,400 / 800 units = $15.50 per unit
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.)
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
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Assume there was no beginning work in process inventory and the ending work in process inventory is 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. Under the weighted-average method, the number of equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs would be: Multiple Choice the same as the units started during the period. the same as the units completed. less than the units started during the period. less than the units completed.
Answer:
less than the units started during the period
Explanation:
The computation of the number of equivalent units of conversion cost would be
units completed during the year 100%
ending work in process 70%
As it can be seen that it is lower than the units that started during the period
Therefore the correct option is c
Hence, all the other options are incorrect
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
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

g Machinery was purchased for $400000 on January 1, 2022. Freight charges amounted to $14000 and there was a cost of $36000 for building a foundation and installing the machinery. It is estimated that the machinery will have a $50000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year useful life. What is the amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2023 if the straight-line method of depreciation is used
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation at December 2023 = $200000
Explanation:
The cost of a fixed asset should be reported as the cost of buying the asset plus any cost incurred in bringing the asset in the location and condition necessary for its use as deemed by the management. Thus, the cost of machinery as reported will be,
Machinery Cost = 400000 + 14000 + 36000 = $450000
The straight line method charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset. The formula for depreciation under this method is,
Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life
Depreciation expense - 2022 = (450000 - 50000) / 4
Depreciation expense - 2022 = $100000
Depreciation expense - 2023 = (450000 - 50000) / 4
Depreciation expense - 2023 = $100000
Accumulated depreciation at December 2023 = 100000 + 100000 = $200000

Rivera underpaid her income tax by $45,000. The IRS can prove that $40,000 of the underpayment was due to fraud. a. Determine Rivera's civil fraud penalty. $fill in the blank 1 b. Rivera pays the penalty five years after committing the fraudulent act. Compute the present value of Rivera's penalty. Assume her after-tax rate of return on available cash is 9%. The present value factor for 5 years and 9% is 0.6499. $fill in the blank 2
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.
MacKenzie Corporation currently has 10 million shares of stock outstanding at a price of $40 per share. The company would like to raise money and has announced a rights issue. Every existing shareholder will be sent one right per share of stock that he or she owns. The company plans to require ten rights to purchase one share at a price of $40 per share. How much money will it raise if all rights are exercised
Answer: $40,000,000
Explanation:
There are 10 million shares and the company plans to require ten rights to purchase one share.
Number of shares to be purchased will be;

HP20 Corporation is considering permanently shutting down a department that has an annual contribution margin of $30,000 and $70,000 in annual fixed costs.
Of the fixed costs, $12,000 cannot be avoided.
What would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for HP20 Corporation. if the company shuts down the department?
Answer: Financial advantage of $28,000
Explanation:
The segment margin is;
= Contribution margin - fixed costs + unavoidable fixed cost
= 30,000 - 70,000 + 12,000
= -$28,000
Eliminating the department would eliminate the negative segment margin of $28,000 which means that net income will increase by that much making it a financial advantage.
