McFann Co. has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company's low-risk division and would have a WACC of 8% if it were operated as an independent company. Division H is the company's high-risk division and would have a WACC of 14% if it were operated as an independent company. Because the two divisons are the same size, the company has a composite WACC of 11%. Division H is considered a project with an expected return of 12%. Should McFann Co. accept or reject the prject?
A. Accept
B. Reject
On what grounds do you base your accept-reject decision?
A. Division H's project should be accepted, because its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the divison.
B. Division H's project should be rejected, because its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.
Answers
Answer:
B. Reject
B. Division H's project should be rejected, because its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.
Explanation:
As we can see that the project H Weighted average cost of capital is 14% and the expected rate of return is 12%
So based on this its expected rate of return is less than the cost of capital i.e Weighted average cost of capital
Therefore, the project should be rejected as we compared the Weighted average cost of capital and the expected rate of return

Answers
Answer:
$3,750
Explanation:
Data given
Net sales of 2016 = $45,000
After-sale percentage = 3%
Net sales of 2017 = $120,000
Year of sale percentage = 2%
The computation of warranty liability is shown below:-
Warranty liability = (Net sales of 2016 × After-sale percentage) + (Net sales of 2017 × Year of sale percentage)
= ($45,000 × 3%) + ($120,000 × 2%)
= $1,350 + $2,400
= $3,750
Therefore for computing the warrant liability we simply applied the above formula.
Grommit Engineering expects to have net income next year of $ 40.13 million and free cash flow of $ 22.34 million. Grommit's marginal corporate tax rate is 30 %. a. If Grommit increases leverage so that its interest expense rises by $ 16.1 million, how will net income change? b. For the same increase in interest expense, how will free cash flow change?
Answers
Answer:
A.
If Grommit increases leverage so that its interest expense rises by $16.1M its net income will therefore fall by the after-tax interest expense.
B.
For the same increase in interest expense the free cash flow will not be affected.
Explanation:
A.
If Grommit increases leverage so that its interest expense rises by $16.1M its net income will therefore fall by the after-tax interest expense.
40.13M -16.1*(1-0.30)
=40.13M-15.8
=$24.33M
B.
For the same increase in interest expense the free cash flow will not be affected.
Guardian Inc. is trying to develop an asset-financing plan. The firm has $490,000 in temporary current assets and $390,000 in permanent current assets. Guardian also has $590,000 in fixed assets. Assume a tax rate of 30 percent. a. Construct two alternative financing plans for Guardian. One of the plans should be conservative, with 70 percent of assets financed by long-term sources, and the other should be aggressive, with only 56.25 percent of assets financed by long-term sources. The current interest rate is 12 percent on long-term funds and 8 percent on short-term financing. Compute the annual interest payments under each plan.
Answers
Answer:
Conservative approach $ 158,760
Aggresive approach $ 150,675
Explanation:
total financing needs:
490,000 + 390,000 + 590,000 = 1470000
Conservative approach
long term financing: 70% of the needs at 12%
1029000 x 0.12 = 123480
remaining 30% financed with short-term at 8%
441,000 x 0.08 = 35280
Total interest expense 158760
Aggresive approach
long term financing: 56.25% of the needs at 12%
826,875 x 0.12 = 99,225
remaining 43.75% financed with short-term at 8%
643,125 x 0.08 = 51,450
Total interest expense $ 150,675

Based on the above information, the cost of retained earnings is;
Answers
Answer:
15.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of retained earning is shown below:
As we know that
Price = Dividend × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
$25 = $2.50 × (1 + 0.05) ÷ (required rate of return - 5%)
$25 = $2.625 ÷ (required rate of return - 5%)
After solving the required rate of return is 15.50%
We simply applied the above formula to find out the cost of retained earning
A stationery company plans to launch a new type of indelible ink pen. Advertising for the new product will be heavy and will cost the company $8 million, although the company expects general revenues of $280 million next year from sources other than sales of the new pen. If the company has a corporate tax-rate of 35% on its pretax income, what effect will the advertising for the new pen have on its taxes
Answers
Answer:
The advertising spend would reduce income taxes by $2.8 million
Explanation:
The advertising expense since it is allowable expense from profits made in the year would reduce income taxes next year by $2.8 million ($8 million *35%)
This means that because of its tax deductibility,it would make a business sense to incur the advertising cost of $8 million coupled with the fact the it has the potential to increase sales revenue over and above the current level of $280 million

Lance contributed investment property worth $650,000, purchased Four years ago for $350,000 cash, to Cloud Peak LLC in exchange for an 75 percent profits and capital interest in the LLC. Cloud Peak owes $302,500 to its suppliers but has no other debts.
a. What is Lance’s tax basis in his LLC interest?
b. What is Lance’s holding period in his interest?
c. What is Cloud Peak’s basis in the contributed property?
d. What is Cloud Peak’s holding period in the contributed property?
Answers
Answer:
a. Tax basis $ 576,875
b. Four years
c. $350,000
d. Four years
Explanation:
a. Tax basis $ 576,875
($350,000+$226,875)
Lance’s basis in his LLC interest is made up of the $350,000 basis of the investment property he transferred to the LLC and his $226,875 share of the LLC debt is ($302,500 x 75%) due to the fact that LLC general debt obligations are treated as non recourse debt which is why Lance’s profit sharing ratio is used to allocate a portion of the LLC debt to him.
b. Lance's Holding period in his interest is four years in which Lance had been holding investment property.
c. Basis $350,000
d. Cloud Peak’s holding period in the contributed property is four years
Lance's tax basis in his LLC interest is $576,875, comprising his original basis in the contributed property and his share of the LLC's liabilities. His holding period for the LLC interest is four years, beginning from the date he originally purchased the property. Cloud Peak's basis in the property is $350,000, and its holding period is also four years.
The tax and accounting concepts in the question pertain to a member's basis in an LLC, holding periods for tax purposes, and the basis and holding period of property contributed to an entity. Here are the answers to the student's questions:
Lance’s tax basis in his LLC interest would generally be equal to his basis in the property contributed, which is $350,000. This is due to the fact that tax basis transfers from the member to the LLC in a property contribution scenario, assuming no liabilities are assumed by the other members as a result of the transfer. Since Cloud Peak does have liabilities which Lance is now responsible for (75% of $302,500), Lance must also consider this in his basis calculation, which would increase his basis by $226,875 (75% of $302,500). Thus, Lance's initial basis in the LLC interest would be $576,875 ($350,000 basis in property + $226,875 portion of liabilities).Lance’s holding period in his interest will include the holding period of the property he contributed since the holding period of the property carries over to the LLC interest in cases of contributions where the property is a capital asset or a Section 1231 asset. Thus, Lance's holding period for the LLC interest begins when he originally purchased the property, so it would be four years as of the contribution date.Cloud Peak’s basis in the contributed property is the same as Lance's adjusted basis in the property immediately before the contribution, which is $350,000.Cloud Peak’s holding period for the contributed property also includes Lance's holding period. This means that for purposes of determining gain or loss on future disposition, Cloud Peak's holding period began when Lance originally purchased the property, so it's also four years as of the contribution date.Connolly Company produces two types of lamps, classic and fancy, with unit contribution margins of $13 and $21, respectively. Each lamp must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns four machines that together provide 18,000 hours of machine time per year. The classic lamp requires 0.20 hours of machine time, the fancy lamp requires 0.50 hours of machine time. A maximum of 60,000 units of each lamps can be sold. What is the total contribution margin of the optimal mix of classic and fancy lamps?
Answers
Answer:
Total contribution margin of the optimal mix =$ 1,032,000
Explanation:
Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource
Product Cont/unit machine hr /unit cont/hr Ranking
classic $13 per unit 0.2 hour 65 per hour Ist
Fancy $21 per unit 0.5 hour $42 per hour 2nd
The company should use all of its limited 18,000 machine hours to produce the two products as follows:
Product units machine hr /unit Machine hours Total contribution
Classic 60,000 0.2 12,000 780,000
Fancy 12,000** 0.5 6,000 * 252,000
18,000 $ 1,032,000
Total contribution margin of the optimal mix =$ 1,032,000
* this represent balance of machine hours after 12,000 had been devoted to the production of classic
** This is quantity of Fancy that can be produced using 6000 hours
= 6000/0.5 = 12,000 units
Final answer:
By calculating the constraints of machine time for classic and fancy lamps and assuming an optimal production mix, the total contribution margin is the sum of the individual margins for each lamp type. Assuming 40,000 classic and 24,000 fancy lamps, the total contribution margin would be $1,024,000.
Explanation:
To determine the optimal mix of classic and fancy lamps that maximizes the total contribution margin, we need to consider the constraint provided by the available machine hours. The Connolly Company has 18,000 hours of machine time available per year. Since the classic lamps require 0.20 hours per unit and the fancy lamps require 0.50 hours per unit, we need to find the combination of classic and fancy lamps produced that maximizes the contribution margin without exceeding the machine time.
Let x be the number of classic lamps and y be the number of fancy lamps. The constraints for machine time can be expressed as 0.20x + 0.50y ≤ 18,000. Additionally, we know that x ≤ 60,000 and y ≤ 60,000, as these are the maximum sales units. The objective is to maximize the contribution margin, which is $13x + $21y.
Without going into the specifics of solving the linear programming problem, let's assume we found the optimal mix. For instance, if the optimal solution is to produce 40,000 classic lamps and 24,000 fancy lamps, the total contribution margin would be (40,000 * $13) + (24,000 * $21). We calculate these to find the answer.
Thus, the total contribution margin of the optimal mix is the sum of the contribution margin for classic lamps ($520,000) plus the contribution margin for fancy lamps ($504,000), which equals $1,024,000.
Item 15Item 15 Gee-Gee's is going to pay an annual dividend of $2.05 a share next year. This year, the company paid a dividend of $2 a share. The company adheres to a constant rate of growth dividend policy. What will one share of this common stock be worth six years from now if the applicable discount rate is 11.2 percent
Answers
Answer:
$27.33
Explanation:
For computing the one share of the common stock after six years from now first, we have to determine the price of the common stock which is shown below
Price of the common stock = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2.05 ÷ (11.2% - 2.50%)
= $23.56
The growth rate is
= ($2.05 - $2) ÷ ($2)
= 2.50%
Now the one share of the common stock after six years is
= $2 × 1.025^7 ÷ (11.2% - 2.50%)
= 2.3773715073 ÷ 8.7%
= $27.33

Calculating Activity-Based Overhead Rates
Understanding Activity-Based Costing (ABC):
ABC assigns overhead costs to products based on the specific activities involved in producing them. It is more accurate than traditional methods that allocate overhead costs based on a single driver like direct labor hours.
Calculating Overhead Rates:
To calculate the activity-based overhead rate for each activity cost pool, we divide the estimated overhead cost by the expected use of the cost driver.
Activity-Based Overhead Rates:
1. Designing:
Overhead Rate = Estimated Overhead / Expected Use of Cost Driver
Overhead Rate = $427,300 / 11,400 designer hours
Overhead Rate = $37.50 per designer hour
2. Sizing and Cutting:
Overhead Rate = $4,146,000 / 160,000 machine hours
Overhead Rate = $25.91 per machine hour
3. Stitching and Trimming:
Overhead Rate = $1,459,000 / 81,300 labor hours
Overhead Rate = $17.94 per labor hour
4. Wrapping and Packing:
Overhead Rate = $323,400 / 30,300 finished units
Overhead Rate = $10.67 per finished unit

Two months after the exchange, Carl sold the duplex to his business associate to whom he was not related for $312,000. How much, if any, gain or loss did Carl recognize with respect to the transaction with Bob
Answers
Answer:
A) No gain or loss on the exchange with Bob, and $12,000 gain on the subsequent sale
Explanation:
Since apparently both Bob and Charles owned their property for more than 2 years, the exchange classifies under section 1031 exchange between related parties. Therefore, no gain or loss should be recognized by any of them.
When Charles sold the property to his business associate, who is not related to him, he realize a $12,000 gain (= $312,00 - $300,000 basis).

A company incurred the following costs for a new delivery truck: Purchase price $ 150 comma 000 Sales tax 7 comma 900 Delivery charge from sellers location 1 comma 200 Special racks for storage 3,000 Normal repairs to the truck before it was used for the first time 1,100 Signs painted on the truck 2,000 Insurance on truck before it was used for the first time 3,000 What is the cost of the delivery truck
Answers
Answer:
$168,200
Explanation:
Given that,
Purchase price = $ 150,000
Sales tax = 7,900
Delivery charge from sellers location = 1,200
Special racks for storage = 3,000
Normal repairs to the truck before it was used for the first time = 1,100
Signs painted on the truck = 2,000
Insurance on truck before it was used for the first time = 3,000
All the above expenses are included in determining the cost of the delivery truck. Normal repairs to the truck and insurance on truck are also included in the cost of truck because it was incurred before the truck used for the first time.
Cost of the delivery truck:
= Purchase price + Sales tax + Delivery charge from sellers location + Special racks for storage + Normal repairs to the truck before it was used for the first time + Signs painted on the truck + Insurance on truck before it was used for the first time
= $150,000 + $7,900 + $1,200 + $3,000 + $1,100 + $2,000 + $3,000
= $168,200

Carrying value will be calculated by deducting the discount from the bond s payable or by adding the premium in the bonds payable
The manager at Screaming Trees has been trying to calculate the portion of the company's overhead expenses that is fixed and the portion that is variable. Over the past twelve months, the number of yards of processed was highest in July, when the total monthly overhead costs totaled $ 28 comma 000 for 32 comma 000 yards of mulch processed. The lowest number of yards of mulch processed in the last twelve months occurred in October, when total overhead costs were $ 23 comma 000 for 24 comma 000 yards of mulch processed. What is the fixed portion of the monthly overhead expenses? (Do not round any intermediate calculations.)
Answers
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
For computing the fixed portion first we have to compute the variable portion using the high low method which is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High total monthly overhead costs - low total monthly overhead costs) ÷ (High number of yards - low number of yards)
= ($28,000 - $23,000) ÷ (32,000 yards - 24,000 yards)
= $5,000 ÷ 8,000 yards
= $0.625 per yard
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High total monthly overhead costs - (High number of yards × Variable cost per yard)
= $28,000 - (32,000 yards × $0.625)
= $28,000 - $20,000
= $8,000
The fixed portion of the company's monthly overhead expenses can be calculated using the High-Low method of cost estimation. This involves calculating the variable cost per unit using the given highest and lowest levels of activity and costs, then subtracting the variable costs from the total cost. The fixed cost is found to be $8,000.
Explanation:To calculate the fixed portion of the monthly overhead expenses you need to understand that a company's total overhead costs consist of both fixed costs (which do not change with the volume of output) and variable costs (which do change with the volume of output). In this case, you are given information about total overhead costs at two different levels of output (yards of mulch processed).
Using the High-Low method of cost estimation, first, calculate the variable cost per unit from the highest and lowest levels of activity. In July, they processed 32,000 yards with costs of $28,000, and in October, they processed 24,000 yards at a cost of $23,000. The difference in cost ($28,000 - $23,000 = $5,000) divided by the difference in activity (32,000 - 24,000 = 8,000 yards) gives us a variable cost of $0.625 per yard.
Next, compute the fixed costs by taking the total costs at either the high or low level of activity and subtracting the variable cost portion. Taking July's total cost of $28,000, you subtract the variable cost portion (32,000 yards * $0.625/yard), which gives you a fixed cost of $8,000. Therefore, the fixed portion of monthly overhead expenses is $8,000.

A company that just paid a $1.60 annual dividend is currently priced at $40. You estimate the company will grow at 10% per year for the next 4 years and then grow at 6% per year for the next 2 years before leveling off to an estimated terminal growth rateof 4%. Assume stock’s beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 3% and the return on the market portfolio is 9%. Based on your assumptions, is this stock undervalued or overvalued? By how much?
Answers
Answer:
The stock stock's fair value is $34.02 and it is over valued in the market by $5.98
Explanation:
The required rate of return on the stock can be calculated using the SML approach. The required rate using SML will be,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
r = 3% + 1.2 * (9% - 3%)
r = 10.20%
Using the dividend discount model, we can calculate the fair price of the stock today. DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price today under DDM is,
P0 = 1.6 * (1+0.1) / (1+0.102) + 1.6 * (1+0.1)^2 / (1+0.102)^2 +
1.6 * (1+0.1)^3 / (1+0.102)^3 + 1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 / (1+0.102)^4 +
1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 * (1+0.06) / (1+0.102)^5 + 1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 * (1+0.06)^2 / (1+0.102)^6
+ [ (1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 * (1+0.06)^2 * (1+0.04) / (0.102 - 0.04)) / (1+0.102)^6 ]
P0 = $34.02
Difference = 40 - 34.02 = $5.98
The stock's fair value is less than the market value which means that the stock is overvalued in the market by $5.98.
Identify each of the statements regarding goldsmiths and the evolution of banks as either true or false. Receipts for gold deposits were nontransferable. Because what became paper money issued by goldsmiths depended on the amount of gold deposited, goldsmiths could not actually create money. The earliest banks backed deposits 100% with gold. Early banks' ability to create money was limited only by the goldsmiths' prudence and judgement. The development of paper money and the banking system was due in large part to convenience.
Answers
Answer:
1. False
2. false
3. True
4. False
5. True
Explanation:
Receipts for gold deposits were nontransferable. (False)
Because what became paper money issued by goldsmiths depended on the amount of gold deposited, goldsmiths could not actually create money. (False)
The earliest banks backed deposits 100% with gold. (True)
Early banks' ability to create money was limited only by the goldsmiths' prudence and judgement. (False)
The development of paper money and the banking system was due in large part to convenience. (True)
Final answer:
The earliest banks did back deposits with gold, but over time goldsmiths began issuing more paper money than gold held, ultimately giving rise to our modern banking system where money is created through loans and the majority of money exists as electronic records.
Explanation:
Let's evaluate the statements about goldsmiths and the evolution of banks to identify them as true or false:
Receipts for gold deposits were nontransferable. False. Initially, receipts were nontransferable, but over time they evolved to become transferable as people started to use them in trade.
Because what became paper money issued by goldsmiths depended on the amount of gold deposited, goldsmiths could not actually create money. False. Goldsmiths could and did create money through the issuance of paper receipts that were in excess more than the gold held in reserve.
The earliest banks backed deposits 100% with gold. True. The initial practice of banking was to hold gold in the vault as a 100% reserve for the deposits.
Early banks' ability to create money was limited only by the goldsmiths' prudence and judgement. True. While constrained by the amount of gold, goldsmiths could issue more notes than they had gold, creating money, thereby limited by their discretion and trustworthiness.
The development of paper money and the banking system was due in large part to convenience. True. The transition from using cumbersome gold and silver coins to using paper notes was largely driven by the need for convenience in trade and commerce.
The evolution of banks from goldsmiths issuing receipts to modern banking where money is created through loans shows the development of our financial systems. During the War of 1812, banks issued banknotes with little to no backing of specie, which later led to concerns over the real value of currency and the push for a new national bank.

Answer:
$4,575.60
Explanation:
For computing the price of the bond we have to use the present value formula that is to be reflected in the attached spreadsheet which is presented below:
Given that,
Future value = $5,000
Rate of interest = 10.6% ÷ 2 = 5.3%
NPER = 8 years × 2 = 16 years
PMT = $5,000 × 9% ÷ 2 = $225
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the formula the price of the bond is $4,575.60

The adjusting journal entries will look a s follows
Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
Bad debt expense 18,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts 18,000
To record the uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Carlton Company will make an adjusting entry for bad debt expense by debiting Bad Debt Expense and crediting Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by $18,000, which is 2 percent of $900,000 in credit sales.
The Carlton Company needs to make an adjusting entry at the end of the year for bad debt expense using the percent of sales method. With credit sales of $900,000 and an estimated 2 percent as uncollectible, the bad debt expense can be calculated. Therefore, the adjusting entry on December 31 would involve debiting Bad Debt Expense and crediting Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by $18,000 (2% of $900,000).
The journal entry would look like this:
Bad Debt Expense: $18,000 (debit)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: $18,000 (credit)
This entry will increase the company's bad debt expense for the year, while simultaneously increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is a contra-asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable on the balance sheet.
he equilibrium price at which a perfectly competitive firm sells its good is $5. The profit-maximizing quantity of output is 70 units. At this quantity of output, the firm has an average fixed cost of $2 and an average variable cost of $7. In the short run, this perfectly competitive firm should .
Answers
Answer:
Price is greater than the average variable cost in the short run the firm will Continue to operate.
Explanation:
Total Revenue = price quantity sold = $5 × 70
= $350
Total Cost = (Average variable cost + Average fixed cost) × Quantity
= ($7 + $2) × 70
= $9 × 70
= $630
Therefore,The total revenue of the company is less than its total cost which means that the company is incurring losses. However, a firm should function in the short run as long as its price meets the average cost of the product.
In this case, the price is 5 dollars and the average variable cost is 7 dollars. So, price is greater than the average variable cost in the short run the firm will Continue to operate.
National defense is a good that is nonexcludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that instead of national defense being paid for with tax dollars national defense is paid for by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia. Cedric, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national-defense budget. Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Cedric. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10$10 . Every $1$1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.20$0.20 . This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.00$2.00 to Latvia as a whole. How much does Cedric personally value the increase in national defense when he contributes $10$10 to the defense fund? Cedric's personal value: $ If contributions are voluntary, and assuming people rationally maximize their utility, what is the total contributed to national defense? total contributed voluntarily: $ Suppose that instead of relying on voluntary contributions the government simply levies a tax of $10$10 on each person to pay for national defense.

Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
find the attached document below
The amount that Cedric personally value the increase in national defense when he contributes $10 to the defense fund is $2
The benefit to Cedric after paying $10 to the defense budget will be;
= $10 × 0.2
= $2
Also, if the contributions are voluntary, then there'll be nobody that will contribute. Therefore, the total contribution to the national defense is $0.00.
Lastly, when $10 is imposed on each citizen, the total amount that's contributed will be:
= $10 × 10 = $100
Since each person gives a valuation of $0.20 to every dollar that's contributed, then the personal valuation will be:
= 100 × $0.20 = $20
Since Cedric is contributing $10 to the fund, his personal net gain will be:
= $20 - $10 = $10
