Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

a. Current ratio

= Total current asset / Total current liabilities

2017

Current asset. 890,400

Current liabilities 424,000

Current ratio = 890,400/424,000

= 2.1

2016 Current ratio

Current asset. 999,600

Current liabilities 357,000

Current ratio = 999,600/357,000

= 2.8

b. Earnings per share

= (Net income - Preference dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding

2017

Net income. 166,830

Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 201,000

Earnings per share = $166,830/201,000

= $0.83

2016 Earnings per share

Net income $337,600

Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 211,000

Earnings per share = $337,600/211,000

= $1.6

c. Debt to asset ratio

= Total liabilities / Total assets

2017

Total liabilities 573,300

Total assets 1,950,000

= 573,300/1,950,000

= 0.29

2016 Debt to asset ratio

Total liabilities 552,132

Total assets 1,878,000

Debt to asset ratio = 552,132/1,878,000

= 0.29

d. Free cash flow

2017

Cash flow from operating activities 300,000

Less: capital expenditure (271,000)

Free cash flow 29,000

2016 free Cash flow from operating activities

Free cash flow 452,600

Less: capital expenditure (246,500)

Free cash flow. 206,100

Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000.
Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer: $‭412,600‬

Explanation:

AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings

Increase in Assets

= 5,000,000 *  15%

= $750,000

Increase in Liabilities

Only use Accruals and Accounts Payable

= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%

= $135,000

Additional to Retained Earnings

= After tax Profit

= 9,200,000 * 4%

= $368,000

Addition to retained earnings = 368,000 * ( 1 - payout ratio)

= 368,000 * ( 1 - 45%)

= $202,400‬

Additional Funds Needed (AFN) = 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400

= $‭412,600

Alpha Inc. has receivables from unrelated parties with a face value of $5,000. It transfers these receivables to bank for $4,500, without recourse. It will continue to collect the receivables, depositing them in a non-interest-bearing bank account with the cash flows remitted to the bank at the end of each month. It is not allowed to sell or pledge the receivables to anyone else and is under no obligation to repurchase the receivables from bank. Which of the following is the appropriate treatment for these Accounts receivables?
A) It should show these receivables in its Balance Sheet.
B) It should amortize these receivables.
C) It should derecognize these receivables.
D) It should derecognize these receivables if it retains the interest earned on these.

Answers

Answer:

C). It should derecognize these receivables.

Explanation:

SY Manufacturers (SYM) is producing T-shirts in three colors: red, blue, and white. The monthly demand for each color is 3,487 units. Each shirt requires 0.75 pound of raw cotton that is imported from the Luft-Geshfet-Textile (LGT) Company in Brazil. The purchasing price per pound is $1.55 (paid only when the cotton arrives at SYM's facilities) and transportation cost by sea is $0.70 per pound. The traveling time from LGT’s facility in Brazil to the SYM facility in the United States is two weeks. The cost of placing a cotton order, by SYM, is $186 and the annual interest rate that SYM is facing is 32 percent of total cost per pound.
a. What is the optimal order quantity of cotton? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Optimal order quantity pounds
b. How frequently should the company order cotton? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Company orders once every months
c. Assuming that the first order is needed on 1-Jul, when should SYM place the order?
17-Jun
1-Jul
15-Jul
d. How many orders will SYM place during the next year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Number of orders times
e. What is the resulting annual holding cost? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Annual holding cost $ per year
f. What is the resulting annual ordering cost?
Annual ordering cost $
g. If the annual interest cost is only 5 percent, how will it affect the annual number of orders, the optimal batch size, and the average inventory?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The optimal order quantity can be calculated as:

= √2DS/H

where

D = 3 × 12 × 3487 × 0. 75

= 94149

Total cost incurred during purchase

= $1.55 + $0.70

= $2.25

Setup cost (S) = $186

Holding cost

= 32% × $2.25

= 0.32 × $2.25

= $0.72

Optimal order quantity

= √(2 × 94149 × 186)/0.72

= 6974.50

b. This will be calculated as:

Annual demand / EOQ

= 94149/6974.50

= 13.50

The company should order cotton 13.5 times per year.

c. Since the first order is needed on 1-July and lead time is 2 weeks, SYM should place the order before 17th June.

d. This will be:

= Annual demand / EOQ

= 94149/6974.50

= 13.5 orders

e. The resulting annual holding cost will be:

= 0.72 × (6974.50/2)

= 0.72 × 3487.25

= $2510.82

f. The resulting annual ordering will be:

= 94149/6974.50 × $186

= 13.5 × $186

= $2511

Answers

Answer:

22%

Explanation:

Margin of Safety is the amount by which sales can fall before making a loss.

Margin of Safety = Expected Sales - Break-even Sales ÷ Expected Sales

                           = (13,600 - 10,608) ÷ 13,600

A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

Answers

Answer:

$150.34

Explanation:

The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2

Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34

You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?

Answers

Answer:

42% and 12%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Alpha Fund

Positive return = 60%

Lose money is

= 1 - 0.60

= 40%

For Omega Fund

 Positive return = 70%

Lose money is

= 1 - 0.70

= 0.30

Also the returns are non-dependent

Now the positive return is

= 60% × 70

= 42%

And, the probability of lose money is

= 40% × 30%

= 12%

Last month Empire Company had a $35,280 profit on sales of $287,000. Fixed costs are $68,040 a month. By how much would sales be able to decrease for Empire to still break even

Answers

Answer:

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

Explanation:

gross profit = net income + fixed costs = $35,280 + $68,040 = $103,320

COGS = total sales - gross profit = $287,000 - $103,320 = $183,680

contribution margin ratio = $103,320 / $287,000 = 36%

break even point in $ = $68,040 / 36% = $189,000

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900. The South Division's divisional segment margin is $42,800 and the West Division's divisional segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions

Answers

Answer:

$45,800

Explanation:

Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = South division's divisional segment margin + west division's divisional segment - corporation's net operating income

Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900

Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $45,800

Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The forward contract will mature in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for the contract is $42. The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value Bob's position?

Answers

Answer:

$ - 1.96

Explanation:

After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.

DATA

Delivery price = $40

The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.

The current forward price = $42

Solution

So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96

The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96

Answers

Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.

Explanation:

The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.

This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.

In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.

The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the____________________ using by_____________________________ the using___________ and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services .

Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.

a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.

Answers

Answer:

1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using  this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.

However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.

2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.

This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.

b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.

This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.

Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?

Answers

Answer:

Café Med

a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).

b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.

Explanation:

Lease annual payments = $29,000

First payment date = January 1, 2021

Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.

Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)

Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000

Lifespan of equipment = 13 years

Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113

b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease.  This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense.  The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.

Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.

Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.

Answers

Answer:

I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.  

A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).  

A company has total equity of $2,160, net working capital of $240, long-term debt of $1,070, and current liabilities of $4,500. What is the company's net fixed assets?

Answers

Answer:

$2,990

Explanation:

A company's fixed asset consist of its plants and machineries, motor vehicles , buildings etc.

To get the company's net fixed asset, we would subtract the networking capital from total equity and add up long term debt.

Therefore,

Net fixed asset = $2,160 total equity - $240 working capital + $1,070 long term debt

= $2,990

Hence net fixed asset is $2,990
