You purchased 100 shares of Crestwood Equity Partners (CEQP) stock on the last day of April 2020 for $10.94 per share. During the month of May you received a dividend of $0.625 per share. You sold all of your Crestwood stock on the last trading day of May for $14.21 per share. Compute your percentage return for the month that you owned the stock.
Answer:
the percentage return is 35.60%
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage return is shown below;
= (Last trading day on may - last day of april + dividend received) ÷ (last day of april) ×100
= ($14.21 - $10.94 + $0.625) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= ($3.895) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= 35.60%
Hence, the percentage return is 35.60%

Indiana Co. began a construction project in 2021 with a contract price of $162 million to be received when the project is completed in 2023. During 2021, Indiana incurred $40 million of costs and estimates an additional $84 million of costs to complete the project. Indiana recognizes revenue over time and for this project recognizes revenue over time according to the percentage of the project that has been completed.
Suppose that, in 2022, Indiana incurred additional costs of $65 million and estimated an additional $52 million in costs to complete the project. Indiana (Do not round your percentage calculated):
A) Recognized $8.91 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
B) Recognized $11.91 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
C) Recognized $3.00 million loss on the project in 2022.
D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.
Answer:
D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Year 2021:
Percentage of work completed in the year 2021 is
= $40 ÷ ($40 + $84)× 100
= $40 ÷ $124 × 100
= 32.26%
Profit on the contract is
= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost
= $162 - $40 - $84
= $38
Profit to be recognized in the year 2016 is
= profit × percentage of completion
= $38 × 32.26%
= $12.256
For Year 2022:
Percentage of work completed in the year 2017 is
= ($40 + $65) ÷ ($40 + $65 + $52)
= $105 ÷ $157 × 100
= 66.88%
Profit on the contract is
= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost
= $162 - $40 - $65 - $52
= $5
Profit that should be recognized till the year 2017 is
= profit × percentage of completion
= $5 × 66.88%
= $3.344
Profit to be recognized in the year 2017 is
= $3.344 - $12.256
= 8.91 million loss
Dennis wants to determine if the discount rate really makes any difference in the net present value of a project. He feels that if a project is acceptable at one rate of return, it will be acceptable at all rates of return. To explain why his thinking is incorrect, you are creating an example to illustrate your point. The cash flows you are using are as follows: time zero is -$71,000, years 1 through 4 are $17,500 each, and years 5 and 6 are $22,500 each. What is net present value at a discount rate of 12 percent and 17 percent
Answer:
$6319,92
$-3959.52
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -$71,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 2 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 3 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 4 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 5 = $22,500
Cash flow in year 6 = $22,500
NPV when I is 12% = $6319,92
NPV when I is 17% = $-3959.52
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Belmont Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in net income after tax of $230,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $1,000,000 and have an 8 year life. If there is no salvage value of the equipment, what is the accounting rate of return? Multiple Choice 18.0% 15.5% 46.0% 23.0%.
Answer:
23.0%
Explanation:
According to the problem, computation of given data are as follows,
Initial cost of equipment = $1,000,000
Net income after tax = $230,000
So, we can calculate the accounting rate of return by using following formula,
Accounting rate of return = Net income after tax ÷ Initial cost of equipment
By putting the value, we get
Accounting rate of return = $230,000 ÷ $1,000,000
= 0.23 or 23%
Hence, accounting rate for the given data is 23%.
A company buys a machine for $69,000 that has an expected life of 7 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,300 after taxes of 38%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return
Answer:
9.57%
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return = Annual after tax net income/Average investment
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / ($69,000/2)
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / $34,500
Accounting rate of return = 0.095652174
Accounting rate of return = 9.57%
Paradise Corporation budgets on an annual basis for its fiscal year. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned for next year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Raw material* 30,000 40,000 Finished goods 70,000 60,000 * Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product. If Paradise Corporation plans to sell 510,000 units during next year, the number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:
Answer:
500,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information,
Beginning inventory = 70,000 units
Ending inventory = 60,000 units
Sales = 510,000 units
We will make use of the formula below to calculate the production required.
Production = Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory
Production = 510,000 + 60,000 - 70,000
Production = 500,000 units

Required: Compute the following financial data and ratios:
1. Working capital.
2. Current Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
3. Acid-Test Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
4. Debt-to-equity Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
5. Times interest earned Ratio (2 decimal places)
6. Average collection period (days)
7. Average sale period (days)
8. Operating cycle (Days; round intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Working capital = Current Asset - Current Liabilities
= $569,000 - $280,000
= $289,000
2.
Current ratio = Current Asset ÷ Current Liability
= $569,000 ÷ $280,000
= 2.03
3.
Acid-test (quick) ratio = {(Current Asset - Inventory - prepaid expense) ÷ Current Liabilities }
= {{$569,000- $320,000 - $8,000) ÷ ($280,000)}
= 0.86 times
4.
Debt-Equity ratio = Total Liability ÷ Shareholders' Equity
= $670,000 ÷ $759,000
= 0.88 times
5.
Times interest earned = EBIT ÷ Interest Charges
= ($1,224,000 + $35,100) ÷ ($35,100)
= 35.87 times
6.
Average collection period
= 365 ÷ ($3,010,00 ÷ $215,000)
= 26 days
The $215,000 comes from
= ($210,000 + $220,000) ÷ 2
= $215,000
7. The average sales period is
= 365 ÷ ($1,110,000 ÷ $300,000)
= 99 days
The $300,000 comes from
= ($280,000 + $320,000) ÷ 2
= $300,000
8. The operating cycle is
= 99 days - 26 days
= 73 days

Jackson Company has developed the following sales projections for the calendar year:
May $108,000
June 128,000
July 148,000
August 168,000
September 158,000
October 138,000
Normal cash collection experience has been that 50% of sales is collected during the month of sale and 45% in the month following the sale. The remaining 5% of sales are never collected. Jackson's budgeted cash collections for the third calendar quarter are: _______
Answer:
Total cash collection 3rd quarter= $436,800
Explanation:
We need to calculate the cash collection for each month of the third quarter:
Cash collection July:
Sales from June= 128,000*0.45= 57,600
Sales from July= 148,000*0.50= 74,000
Total cash collection July= $131,600
Cash collection August:
Sales from July= 148,000*0.45= 66,600
Sales from August= 168,000*0.5= 84,000
Total cash collection August= $150,600
Cash collection September:
Sales from August= 168,000*0.45= 75,600
Sales from September= 158,000*0.5= 79,000
Total cash collection September= $154,600
Total cash collection 3rd quarter= $436,800
Distributing Cash Dividends to Preferred and Common Shareholders Dechow Company has outstanding 20,000 shares of $50 par value, 6% cumulative preferred stock, and 80,000 shares of $10 par value common stock. The company declares and pays cash dividends amounting to $160,000. a. If no arrearage on the preferred stock exists, how much in total dividends, and in dividends per share, is paid to each class of stock
Answer:
Preferred Stock = $60,000 and $3.00
Common Stock = $100,000 and $1.25
Explanation:
Dividends
Preferred Stock has preference when it comes to dividends payments. The remaining dividends are then paid to Common Stockholders.
Preferred Stock dividend = 20,000 x $50 x 6% = $60,000
Common Stock dividend = $160,000 - $60,000 = $100,000
Dividends per share
Preferred Stock dividend = $60,000 ÷ 20,000 shares = $3.00
Common Stock dividend = $100,000 ÷ 80,000 shares = $1.25
Quan Enterprises purchased and consumed 56,000 gallons of direct material that was used in the production of 15,000 finished units of product. According to engineering specifications, each finished unit had a manufacturing standard of four gallons. If a review of Quan's accounting records at the end of the period disclosed a material price variance of $5,600U and a material quantity variance of $2,800F, what is the actual price paid for a gallon of direct material
Answer:
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance = Direct Material Price Variance + Direct Material Quantity Variance
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance = $5,600U + (-$2,800F)
Total Direct Materials cost Variance = $2,800 Unfavorable
Direct Material cost Variance = (Actual rate * Actual quantity) - (Standard Rate * Standard Quantity)
$2,800 U = (AR*56000) - (SR * (15,000*5)
$2,800 U = (AR*56000) - (SR * 75000)
We need Standard Price per Gallon to calculate the actual price paid for a gallon of direct material. But, we have no information about it.

Here I Sit Sofas has 6,600 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $89 per share. There are 950 bonds that mature in 25 years with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent paid semiannually. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 each and sell at 106 percent of par. The company also has 5,500 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $42 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt
Answer:
55.17 %
Explanation:
We use the Market Values of Sources of Capital to determine their Weight in Capital Structure.
Weight of the debt = Market Value of Debt / Total Market Value x 100
where,
Market Value of Debt = 950 x $1,000 x 106% = $1,007,000
Market Value of Common Stock = 6,600 x $89 = $587,400
Market Value of Preferred Stock = 5,500 x $42 = $231,000
therefore,
Weight of the debt = $1,007,000 / $1,825,400 x 100
= 55.17 %

Mark agreed but added that the right kind of strategy could help them overcome this challenge, and that they could even use the situation to hike fares and generate additional revenues. Which of the following statements, if true, would denote the occurrence of groupshift in Mark's opinions during the meeting?
A) Mark proposed that the prices be hiked and additional customer service measures be included so costumers have the best experience flying with EuAir.
B) Mark encouraged the top-management team to consider laying off surplus employees and rightsizing EuAir to enhance its efficiency and lower costs.
C) Mark agreed with Joe's opinion that providing the best service possible, even if it meant incurring a loss in the short run, would be the best strategy.
D) Mark felt that EuAir should suspend some of its less profitable flights in the short run in favor of the routes that have greater demand among consumers.
E) Mark proposed that this was an opportunity for EuAir to use its brand name effectively and diversify into other products and services.

What is customer service?Customer service can be defined as the one-on-one interaction between the person buying the product and the person that is the representative of the seller. Most retailers consider this interaction as the most important and critical one as it ensures the buyer satisfaction and encouraging repeat business. Even today when the customer service option is becoming automated the option to talk to a human representative is still present as business consider it service leadership.
At many companies, the customer service representatives are the ones who meet or greet the people who buy the products from the organization. They are the ones that have the direct contact with the consumers. The buyer's perception of the company and the product are shaped in part by their experience in dealing with that person. For this reason, many companies work hard to increase their customer satisfaction levels.
Customer service should be a single-step process for the consumer. If a customer calls a helpline, the representative should whenever possible follow the problem through to its resolution.
What is price hike?
Price hiking is an normal economic phenomenon that typically happens when there is a dramatic increase in demand and/or a dramatic decrease in supply for a good or service. Usually this is due to a short run situation
The best remedy is to increase the supply. The market will respond to high prices for a good or service by producing more of the product. The price hike will encourage firms to innovate and increase production. Again, this may not be possible or may be difficult in the short run.
The alternative is for government to install rationing and/or price controls. This will inevitably require some sort of legal enforcement; for example fines for “price gouging” and such. It is also a fertile ground for the creation of black markets: where consumers and sellers get together illegally, and negotiate a price that is usually somewhat higher (due to increased risks) than what would be the market price.
Hence, option A is the correct answer
