Answer: $441,000
Explanation:
The following can be deuced from the question:
Cash provided by operating activities = $329000
Cash used by investing activities = $119000
Cash provided by financing activities = $139000
Beginning cash balance = $92000
Sheridan’s ending cash balance will be:
= Beginning cash balance + cash provided by operating activities + cash provided by financing activities - cash used by operating activities

Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales. 2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region. 3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.
Answer:
1. Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000
2. Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000
3. Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000
Explanation:
1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales
First step is to find the Contribution margin ratio
Using this formula
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
Contribution margin ratio:
Total company: ($240,000/$600,000)=0.4
North : ($120,000/$400,000)=0.4
South : ($120,000/$200,000)=0.6
Now let compute the Company wide break-even point in dollar sales using this formula
Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= ($120,000 + $50,000) / 0.4
Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000
2. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region using this formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for North region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $60,000 / 0.3
Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000
3. . Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.
Using this formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $60,000 / 0.6
Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000
A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent, what maximum initial investment would make the project acceptable? Multiple Choice $638,392.96 $595,833.43 $1,534,047.75 $655,213.49 $684,772.10
Answer:
PV= $684,772.1
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent.
First, we need to calculate the future value of the cash flows:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {103,900*[(1.084^10) - 1]} / 0.084
FV= $1,534,047.75
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 1,534,047.75 / (1.084^10)
PV= $684,772.1
Park competes with World by providing a variety of rides. sells tickets at $110 per person as a one-day entrance fee. Variable costs are $44 per person, and fixed costs $412,500 are per month. Under these conditions, the breakeven point in tickets is 6,250 and the breakeven point in sales dollars is $687,500.
Requirement

Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs are $44 per person
Fixed costs $412,500
Let's suppose that the new selling price is $100.
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 412,500 / (100 - 44)
Break-even point in units= 7,366 units
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 412,500 / (56/100)
Break-even point (dollars)= $736,607

All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?
Answer:
Explanation:
This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.
Owners of a local restaurant are concerned about their ability to provide quality service as they continue to grow and attract more customers. They have collected data from Friday and Saturday nights, their busiest times of the week. During these time periods about 75 customers arrive per hour for service. Given number of tables and chairs, and the typical time it takes to serve a customer, the owners estimate they can serve on average about 100 customers per hour. Use Exhibit 5.6. During these nights, are they in the zone of service, the critical zone, or the zone of nonservice?
Answer:
the critical zone
Explanation:
So, we have the following information or data from the question/problem, they are:
=> In order to improve on the restaurant service and give more quality, customers data were collected in from Friday and Saturday nights which happens to be the local restaurant's busiest times of the week.
=> From the data collected it was shown that 75 customers arrive per hour for service.
=> After getting the data above the owners of the local restaurant estimated that they can serve on average about 100 customers per hour.
In order to improve on the restaurant service and give more quality, the utilization rate must be calculated. Therefore the utilization rate is arrival rate divided by service rate that is to say;
The utilization rate = arrival rate/ service rate.
The utilization rate = 75/100 = 0.75 = 75%.
The next step is to draw the diagram showing the relationship between rate of service utilization and service rate.
So, from the graph we have that with the 75%, the zone that it falls to is the CRITICAL ZONE.

Explanation:
• Break even point in sales dollars $22,000,000
• Required sales in dollars $48,150,000
• Break even point in sales dollars $34,010,600
See as attached, detailed solution to the questions above.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $44,000,000
Variable expenses $ 28,600,000
Fixed expenses 7,700,000
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 28,600,000)/44,000,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= $22,000,000
Now, we incorporate the desired profit of $9,152,500
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (7,700,000 + 9,152,500) /0.35
Break-even point (dollars)= $48,150,000
Finally, the new break-even point in dollars:
Total variable cost= 28,600,000*1.09= 31,174,000
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 31,174,000) / 44,000,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / 0.2915
Break-even point (dollars)= $26,415,094.34
Southern Imports is an all-equity firm with a beta of 1.32. The firm is considering a new project that entails less risk than its current operations and thus management feels that the firm's beta should be lowered by .18 when assigning a discount rate to this project. The market rate of return is 9.4 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.8 percent. What discount rate should be assigned to this project
Answer:
The answer is "10.32%".
Explanation:
The actual beta firm =1.32
if new beta reduced by 1.8
beta firm= 1.14(1.32-1.8)
market return= 9.4%
risk-free return=2.8%
formula:
[tex]\to \text{Discount rate= risk} +beta \times (return-risk)}[/tex]
[tex]=2.8+1.14(9.4-2.8)\\\\=10.32%[/tex]
At a sales volume of 44,000 units, Thoma Corporation's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $585,200. To the nearest whole cent, what should be the total sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 46,300 units
Answer: $13.30 per unit
Explanation:
Thoma Corporation Sales Commission per unit;
= Total Sales commission/ Sales volume
= 585,200/44,000
= $13.30
For a sales volume of 46,300 units, the commission per unit will be the same $13.30 per unit as this cost is variable with respect to sales volume.

Receivables are valued based on their ________.
a. fair value
b. estimated amount collectible
c. lower-of-cost-or-market value
d. historical cost
Answer:
b. estimated amount collectible
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, Receivables are also known as Account Receivable. Receivables are considered to be a current asset because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Also, accounts receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.
Generally, current assets are considered to be liquid because they are listed on the balance sheet in the order (descending) in which they are expected to turn or be converted to cash within a relatively short term period.
Hence, receivables are valued based on their estimated amount collectible from customers for the goods and services taken.
Rust Pipe Co. was established in 1994. Four years later the company went public. At that time, Robert Rust, the original owner, decided to establish two classes of stock. The first represents Class A founders' stock and is entitled to twelve votes per share. The normally traded common stock, designated as Class B, is entitled to one vote per share. In late 2010, Mr. Stone, an investor, was considering purchasing shares in Rust Pipe Co. While he knew the existence of founders’ shares were not often present in other companies, he decided to buy the shares anyway because of a new technology Rust Pipe had developed to improve the flow of liquids through pipes. Of the 1,900,000 total shares currently outstanding, the original founder's family owns 52,725 shares. What is the percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
34.25%
Explanation:
Votes per share = 12
Shares owned = 52725
Now we are to calculate the total value of the total number of of votes
Total votes = votes per share * shares owned
= 12*52725
Total = 632700
Value of votes of class B
Total shares outstanding - founders family shares
= 1900000 - 52725
= 1847275
The question requires us to calculate percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes
632700/1847275
= 0.3425
= 34.25%

a. Why do some price controls help create black markets?
b. What is a black market you have personally seen?
Answer:
Price ceiling creates black markets
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price of a good or service. Price ceiling is binding if it is set below equilibrium price.
When a binding price floor is established, producers would earn less profits and as a result they would stop selling their products in the free markets. This would lead to scarcity and a result a black market can emerge. Goods would be sold at a higher price in the black markets than it would in the free markets.
So, black markets can arise as a result of price ceiling and the need of producers to earn higher profits
b. During the war, when there was a rationing of meat. Farmers declared less animal births to authorities and sold the undeclared livestock in the black market.
Also, in less developed countries e.g. Nigeria, when there is scarcity of fuel. Black markets arise where fuel are sold for higher prices

A perpetuity pays $170 per year and interest rates are 8.2 percent. How much would its value change if interest rates increased to 9.7 percent
Answer:
$320.59 decrease
Explanation:
The computation of the change in the value is shown below:

Suppose that real GDP grew more in Country A than in Country B last year.
a. Country A must have a higher standard of living than country B.
b. Country A's worker productivity must have grown faster than country B's.
c. Both of the above are correct.
d. None of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
The standard of living is calculated as real GDP / population. Even though the real GDP of country A grew faster than country B, country A's population might be higher than country B's making its standard of living lower.
To make a conclusion that the growth of country A's worker productivity grew faster, it must be assumed that population grew at the same rate in both countries
A share of Lash Inc.'s common stock just paid a dividend of $2.10. If the expected long-run growth rate for this stock is 5%, and if investors' required rate of return is 18.5%, what is the stock price
Answer:
P0 = $16.333333333 rounded off to $16.33
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return
P0 = 2.1 * (1+0.05) / (0.185 - 0.05)
P0 = $16.333333333 rounded off to $16.33

Explanation:
The options do not match the question. Correct answer is posted.
When closing the Withdrawal account at the end of the period, the withdrawals need to be accounted for from the capital invested by the investor because the withdrawals would reduce the capital balance.
To do this the Capital account should be debited to signify that it is reducing. The opposing entry therefore will be to credit the Withdrawals account.

g Question 3 (ASC Required - 20 points): After graduation, you work for a few years at a major accounting firm and advance to Senior. However, as part of this role, you start working on a client that is different from your other background: specifically, a major bank located in San Francisco. This bank primarily takes deposits from retail and business customers and lends money out to others. The accounting seems to be completely different from what you are used to and so you go to the Codification to find out what the accounting standards for this industry consist of. Describe the major classes of transactions undertaken by this sort of entity and how they should be accounted for.
Answer with Explanation:
The major transactions that a bank will be involved in are listed below:
Deposits of accounts holders: These deposits are basically the liability of the bank which it will pay them back in near future. Hence it must be recorded as a Current or Non-current liability depending upon the type of account and agreement between the parties to contract. Money lendings to borrowers: This money must be accounted for as a current or non-current asset depending upon the type of account and agreement made.Interest on the money lendings: It is interest income and must be accounted for as revenue.ATM and other Transaction processing charges: These fee charges are also part of income and thus must be accounted for as income.Ramon had AGI of $165,000 in 2020. He is considering making a charitable contribution this year to the American Heart Association, a qualified charitable organization. Determine the current allowable charitable contribution deduction in each of the following independent situations, and indicate the treatment for any amount that is not deductible currently. Identify any planning ideas to minimize Ramon's tax liability.
Answer:
the situations are missing, so I looked for similar questions:
a. A cash gift of $68,500.
In the current year, Ramon may deduct $68,500 since his charitable contribution is limited to $165,000.
b. A gift of OakCo stock worth $68,500 on the contribution date. Ramon had acquired the stock as an investment two years ago at a cost of $61,650.
The stock's value for determining the contribution is $68,500 (fair market value). The deduction for 2020 is $49,500 (30% of AGI). The remaining $19,000 for years.
c. A gift of a painting worth $68,500 that Ramon purchased three years ago for $61,650. The charity has indicated that it would sell the painting to generate cash to fund medical research.
The contribution is valued at $61,650 (the charity will sell the painting immediately). The amount deductible in the current year is $61,650.
Explanation:
The charitable contribution limit was increased to 100% of AGI for 2020 by the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act).
Which of the following statements would be most likely to minimize expected fixing costs? a. A machine should always be calibrated at the midpoint between the upper and lower spec limits. b. A machine should be calibrated closer to the upper spec limit than the lower spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low. c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Answer: c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Explanation:
If the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low then it make sense to calibrate the machine closer to the lower spec limit.
This way if the machine produces less output than is required, it can be fixed at a lower cost than if the machine had been set to the upper spec and produces output that is too high.
