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.
We can express a firm in terms of a call/put option. In this context, the equity in the firm is like the (a) with its strike price being the face value of debt. From another perspective, stockholders position is equivalent to holding a portfolio of a long
2 position of the (b), a short position of the (c), and a long position of the (d). Which of the following has the correct answers for blanks (a)-(d) in that order?
A. futures on the firm; firm; put option on the firm; risk-free zero-coupon bond
B. put option on the firm; firm; call option on the firm; risk-free zero-coupon bond
C. call option on the firm; firm; put option on the firm; risk-free zero-coupon bond
D. put option on the firm; firm; risk-free zero-coupon bond; call option on the firm
E. call option on the firm; firm; risk-free zero-coupon bond; put option on the firm
Answer:
E. call option on the firm; firm; risk-free zero-coupon bond; put option on the firm
Explanation:
As we know that
If we add the stock price and the put i.e. equivalent to the call and the risk free bond
In an equation form, it can be presented below
Put + stock price = call + PV(risk free bond)
So according to the above equation form, the option E is correct as it fits to the current situation given in the question
Hence, the correct option is E
And, the rest of the options are wrong
Your healthy 63-year-old neighbor is about to retire and comes to you for advice. From talking with her, you find out she was planning on taking all the money out of her company’s retirement plan and investing it in bond mutual funds and money market funds. What advice should you give her? Reilly, Frank K.; Brown, Keith C.. Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management (Text Only) (p. 56). Cengage Textbook. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
Both mutual funds and money market funds are similar in the sense that they pool money from several investors in a variety of instruments. The difference is that money market funds pool the money in very liquid, short-term securities, while mutual funds do the same but in less liquid, longer-term securities.
The 63-year-old neighbor should therefore split the money around 60/40, 60% of the funds for mutual funds, in order to have long-term security, and 40% in the money market funds, in order to have quick cash available when needed.
In deciding whether to drop or keep a product line, all of the following are relevant to the decision except: a. Whether dropping the product line today would eliminate future options for growth and expansion. b. Demand interdependencies across product lines of the company. c. The level of unavoidable fixed costs. d. Effect of the decision on overall company morale. e. The segment margin generated by the product line.
Answer:
c. The level of unavoidable fixed costs.
Explanation:
Product line in marketing is considered as a group of different products that are related to each other and often targets to the same thing. They are marketed and created under a single brand and sold by the same company. An example of it is product line hair care like shampoo, hair gel, hair wax, hair oil, etc.
Deciding a product lining is very essential to the organization. The growth and the expansion of the company depends upon the product lining of the future options. Therefore, dropping off a product line or keeping it should be decided properly. It also affects the overall morale of the company.
The relevant margin that is generated by the product line of the company should also be checked before deciding.
On January 1, 2020, Novak Corp. had inventory of $56,500. At December 31, 2020, Novak had the following account balances.
Freight-in $4,800
Purchases 509500
Purchase discounts 8000
Purchase returns and allowances 2700
Sales revenue 807000
Sales discounts 6000
Sales returns and allowances 10,900
At December 31, 2020, Novak determines that its ending inventory is $66,500.
Required:
Compute Novak's 2020 gross profit.
Compute Novak's 2020 operating expenses if net income is $143,000 and thre are no nonoperating activities.
Answer:
Gross Profit ⇒ $296,500Operating expenses ⇒ $153,500Explanation:
Gross Profit;
= Net sales - Cost of Goods sold
Net sales = Sales revenue - sales discounts - sales returns and allowances
= 807,000 - 6,000 - 10,900
= $790,100
Cost of Goods sold
= Opening balance + Purchases + Freight-in - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances -closing balance
= 56,500 + 509,500 + 4,800 - 8,000 - 2,700 - 66,500
= $493,600
Gross Profit = 790,100 - 493,600
= $296,500
Operating Expense
Net Income = Gross profit - operating expenses
143,000 = 296,500 - operating expenses
Operating expenses = 296,500 - 143,000
= $153,500

Your neighbor never mows his lawn. You don’t have any legal right to force him to mow, but the mess in his front yard is making your neighborhood unsightly and reducing the value of your house. The reduction in the value of your house is $5,000, and the value of his time to mow the lawn once a week is $1,000. Suppose you offer him a deal in which you pay him $3,000 to mow. How does this deal affect surplus?
Answer: The deal will have the effect of increasing both your surplus as well as your neighbor's
Explanation:
Assuming your neighbor accepts the deal, you would have paid $3,000 when in fact your house value had reduced by $5,000. This give you a surplus of $2,000 because you paid $2,000 less than the cost to you if your neighbor did not mow the lawn.
Your neighbor also makes a surplus because where normally it would cost them $1,000 to mow the lawn, they got $3,000. They also make a surplus of $2,000 over the cost to mow.

Sralbn620 Corporation has two divisions: Domestic Division and Foreign Division. Last month, the corporation reported a contribution margin of $47,800 for Domestic Division. Foreign Division had a contribution margin ratio of 25% and its sales were $235,000. Net operating income for the Sralbn620 Corporation was $35,700 and traceable fixed expenses were $55,400.
(ID#32648)
What were Sraibn 620 Corporation's common fixed expenses?
a) $15,450
b) $106,550
c) $55,400
d) $70,850
Answer:
Common fixed expense= $15,450
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin from the two divisions:
Domestic Division= $47,800
Foreign Division= 235,000*0.25= $58,750
Total contribution margin= $106,550
Now, we can determine the common fixed expense using the following formula:
Net operating income= total contribution margin - traceable fixed expense - common fixed expense
35,700 = 106,550 - 55,400 - common fixed expense
common fixed expense= 51,150 - 35,700
common fixed expense= $15,450

Crane Construction Company had a contract starting April 2021, to construct a $22800000 building that is expected to be completed in September 2023, at an estimated cost of $20800000. At the end of 2021, the costs to date were $7072000 and the estimated total costs to complete had not changed. The progress billings during 2021 were $3600000 and the cash collected during 2021 was 3080000. Crane uses the percentage-of-completion method. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Crane would recognize gross profit on the building of:____.a. $680000. b. $0. c. $13728000. d. $620351.
Answer: a. $680,000
Explanation:
Gross profit to be recognized from entire project;
= Value of building - cost
= 22,800,000 - 20,800,000
= $2,000,000
In 2021, a cost of $7,072,000 was incurred out of the total cost of $20,800,000.
Percentage complete is therefore;
= 7,072,000/20,800,000
= 34%
The gross profit recognized is therefore;
= 34% * Total gross profit
= 34% * 2,000,000
= $680,000

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases (units)= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
January (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (140,000*0.3)= 42,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 122,000
Total cost= 122,000*4= $488,000
February (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (42,000)
Total number of units= 158,000
Total cost= 158,000*4= $632,000
March (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 200,000
Total cost= 200,000*4= $800,000
April (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (160,000*0.3)= 48,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 188,000
Total cost= 188,000*4= $752,000
May (units):
Sales= 160,000
Desired ending inventory= (220,000*0.3)= 66,000
Beginning inventory= (48,000)
Total number of units= 178,000
Total cost= 178,000*4= $712,000

Bramble Corp. purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $109000. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $3700 and a useful life of 121000 miles. It was driven 21000 miles in 2020 and 29000 miles in 2021. What is the depreciation expense for 2021
Answer:
2020 = 18275.206
2021 = 25237.190
Explanation:
Cost of truck at beginning of 2020 = $109,000
Salvage value = $3700
Useful life = 121,000 miles
Miles driven in 2020 = 21000
Miles driven in 2021 = 29000
Depreciation expense 2020:
((Cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life) * miles driven in 2020
((109,000 - 3700) / 121000) * 21000
0.8702479 * 21000 = 18275.206
Depreciation expense 2021:
((109,000 - 3700) / 121000) * 29000
= 25237.190

Transportation has a major impact on company financial performance E. Transportation involves the physical movement of goods between origin and destination points
Answer:
C. Transportation managers choose modes of transportation based only on cost
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
The fundamentals of supply chain management are best summed up as a strategic collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing, a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.
Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.
Basically, in supply chain management, transportation plays a significant part in the movement of goods or services from the point of production to the end users or consumers.
Hence, all of the following are true of Transportation;
A. Transportation systems link geographically separated partners, facilities and customers
B. Transportation facilitates the creation of time and place utility in the supply chain
C. Transportation has a major impact on company financial performance
D. Transportation involves the physical movement of goods between origin and destination points
Supply chain management is termed as the effectiveness and efficiency of the management of the goods and services and the production involved in the process of the transformation of the goods and services from the raw materials.
The correct option is C. Transportation managers choose modes of transportation based only on cost.
Option C. Transportation managers choose modes of transportation based only on cost is wrong because the transportation or the transmission of the materials of the consumption is not as per the cost of it but as per the demand and the supply of the goods and services.
It is decided by the supply chain management that looks for the management of the supply of the goods and the services to the consumers for their satisfaction and their satisfaction.

Budgeting, ethics, pharmaceutical company. Chris Jackson was recently promoted to Controller of Research and Development for BrisC or, a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company that manufactures prescription drugs and nutritional supplements. The company’s total R& ; D cost for 2017 was expected (budgeted) to be $5 billion. During the company’s midyear budget review, Chris realized that current R& ; D expenditures were already at $3.5 billion, nearly 40% above the midyear target. At this current rate of expenditure, the R& ; D division was on track to exceed its total year-end budget by $2 billion!
In a meeting with CFO Ronald Meece later that day, Jackson delivered the bad news. Meece was both shocked and outraged that the R&D spending had gotten out of control. Meece wasn’t any more understanding when Jackson revealed that the excess cost was entirely related to research and development of a new drug, Vyacon, which was expected to go to market next year. The new drug would result in large profits for BrisCor, if the product could be approved by year-end. Meece had already announced his expectations of third-quarter earnings to Wall Street analysts. If the R&D expenditures weren’t reduced by the end of the third quarter, Meece was certain that the targets he had announced publicly would be missed and the company’s stock price would tumble. Meece instructed Jackson to make up the budget shortfall by the end of the third quarter using "whatever means necessary." Jackson was new to the controller’s position and wanted to make sure that Meece’s orders were followed. Jackson came up with the following ideas for making the third-quarter budgeted targets:
1. Stop all research and development efforts on the drug Vyacon until after year-end. This change would delay the drug going to market by at least 6 months. It is possible that in the meantime a BrisCor competitor could make it to market with a similar drug.
2. Sell off rights to the drug Martek. The company had not planned on doing this because, under current market conditions, it would get less than fair value. It would, however, result in a one-time gain that could offset the budget shortfall. Of course, all future profits from Martek would be lost. Capitalize some of the company’s R&D expenditures, reducing R&D expense on the income statement. This transaction would not be in accordance with GAAP, but Jackson thought it was justifiable because the Vyacon drug was going to market early next year. Jackson would argue that capitalizing R&D costs this year and expensing them next year would better match revenues and expenses.
3. Referring to the "Standards of Ethical Behavior for Practitioners of Management Accounting and Financial Management,"
4. Which of the preceding items are acceptable to use? Which are unacceptable? What would you recommend Jackson do?
Answer:
BrisCor
Budgeting, ethics, pharmaceutical company
a. Referring to the "Standards of Ethical Behavior for Practitioners of Management Accounting and Financial Management,"
none of the preceding items are acceptable to use.
b. I would recommend Jackson to go ahead with the R&D throughout the year to ensure that the drug Vyacon was successfully brought to the market next year before the competitor. He can try to keep to the budget going forward. A budget remains a budget and not the actual. Budget overrun can result. What is important is its effectiveness in achieving business goals.
Explanation:
The announced expectations of third-quarter earnings to Wall Street analysts should not prevent the R&D on the drug Vyacon from continuing, provided Jackson is certain that the envisaged success would be attained. They remain expectations. They are not the actual results of operations for the year. Even if the company's stock price would tumble, it would still recover after the drug had received approval and gone to market, raking in large profits. After all, the projected increase in R&D cost might not result, and the drug Vyacon could be fully developed and ready for the market before year-end, thereby not exceeding its budget.
A Corporation produces shiny discs. A special order has been placed by the customer to Rick for 2,200 units of the shiny disc for $38 a unit. While the disc would be modified slightly for the special order, the normal unit product cost for each disc is $16.90:
Direct materials $ 4.60
Direct labor 4.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.60
Unit product cost $ 16.90
Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs.
The customer would like modifications made to each disc that would increase the variable costs by $1.90 per unit and that would require an investment of $16,000 in special equipment that would have no salvage value.
This special order would have no effect on Rick Corp.'s other sales. The company has enough spare capacity for producing the special order.
What would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for Rick as a result of accepting this special order?
a) $40,760
b) $15,700
c) $2,000
d) $16,200
Answer:
Rick Corporation
The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for Rick as a result of accepting this special order is:

Special equipment 16,000
Financial Advantage $40,760
Wildhorse Co. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $198,500 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $25,000 of goods purchased from Waterway Industries, FOB, shipping point, and $26,000 of goods sold to Oriole Company for $30,000, FOB destination. Both the Waterway purchase and the Oriole sale were in transit at year-end.What amount should Wildhorse report as its December 31 inventory
Answer:
$249,500
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Sheridan should report as its December 31 inventory
Using this formula
December 31 inventory=Goods costing+Goods purchased +Goods sold
December 31 inventory=$198,500+$25,000+$26,000
December 31 inventory=$249,500
Therefore the amount that Sheridan should report as its December 31 inventory will be $249,500
In the challenging world of retail sales, Macy's, Inc.'s (M's) revenues are declining while expenses are generally flat. Based on recent conversations with management at Macy's, analysts believe that dividends will decline at a rate of 7% perpetually. The firm just paid a dividend of $5.10 per share and the required return on the stock is 3%
a) At what price should a share of M stock sell today? (2 pts.)
b) Calculate what the stock should sell for 8 years from now. 12 pts.)
c) Briefly explain, perhaps with the aid of a single calculation, why an investor would still be interested in buying the stock today even though the stock price is predicted to fall acrosats time. (2 pts.)
Answer
a) Gordon's Constant Growth model : P0 = D1 / (r-g)
r = 3% =0.03 , g= -7% = -0.07 , D0 = $5.1
D1 = D0*(1+g)
D1 = 5.1*(1-0.07)
D1 = $4.743
P0 = 4.743/(0.03- (-0.07))
P0 = 4.743/0.10
P0 = $47.43
So, Stock M should sell at a price of $47.43 today
b) Price 8 years from now
==> P8 = D9/(r-g)
P8 = D0*(1+g)^9/(r-g)
P8 = 5.1* (1-0.07)^9 / (0.03- (-0.07))
P8 = 5.1*0.52041108298 / (0.03- (-0.07))
P8 = 2.65410
P8 = $26.54
c) Investor may want to buy the stock today for the Dividends. If the dividends paid are high enough, the present value of the dividends is also high and may more than compensate the fall in stock price. This type of stocks work and give cash flows like a project where the initial cashflows are higher and later cashflows are less because of market factors.
OKRs can be executed in stages. The first stage would be keyed to a deadline and then then once the project is completed and running objectives can be keyed to cash flow metrics.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
b) false
Explanation:
OKR is a goal-setting method used by companies. It is impleemented using following steps
Communicate the OKRChoose a tool used for OKROrganize the Company's OKRSet the company's OKRSet every single OKR for teams, departments and IndividualsMake the changes in OKR if requiredApprove the OKR Evaluate the OKR at each period end.So, the OKR cannot be implemented in a single step and it requires multiple steps.
Hence the given statement is false.
Differential analysis can aid management in making decisions on a variety of alternatives, including whether to discontinue an un-profitable segment and whether to replace usable plant assets.
A. True
B. False
Problems and Applications Q4 Suppose that the government imposes a tax on heating oil. True or False: The deadweight loss from this tax would likely be larger in the fifth year after it is imposed than in the first year as demand for heating oil becomes more elastic. True False The tax revenue collected from a tax on heating oil is likely to be in the first year after it is imposed than in the fifth year.
Answer:
TrueTrueExplanation:
The deadweight loss in the fifth year will indeed be higher in the fifth year than in the first because deadweight loss has been shown to increase with elasticity.
As demand becomes more elastic as a result of the oil becoming more expensive, tax revenue will decrease in future which means that tax revenue will be less in five years than in the first.
Blossom Inc. uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at cost (retail) were $403500 ($604000), purchases during the current year at cost (retail) were $3608000 ($5393600), freight-in on these purchases totaled $169500, sales during the current year totaled $4866000, and net markups were $424000. What is the ending inventory value at cost
Answer:
$1,012,696
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
At Cost method:
Merchandise available for sale is :
= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Fright-in
= $403,500 + $3,608,000 + $169,500
= $4,181,000
At Retail method:
Merchandise available for sale:
= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Markups
= $604,000 + $5,393,600 + $424,000
= $6,421,600
Now
Ending inventory at retail is
= Retail - Markdowns - Net sales
= $6,421,600 - $0 - $4,866,000
= $1,555,600
Now
Cost to retail ratio is
= $4,181,000÷ ($4,866,000 + $1,555,600)
= 65.10%
And finally the ending inventory at cost is
= $1,555,600 × 65.10%
= $1,012,696
