What amount should Creative Sound Systems report as net cash flows from financing activities?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Creative Sound Systems should report  $15,9 million as net cash flows from financing activities.

Explanation:

Consider only items relating to financing activities.

Cash flow from  financing activities

Proceeds from Sale of common stock         $41.8 million

Purchased of treasury stock                        ( $25.9 million)

Net Cash flow from Financing Activities       $15,9 million

Answer 2

Answer:

The net cash flows from financing activities is $19.9 million

Explanation:

The net cash flows from financing activities comprises of cash inflows from the issue of common stocks of $41.8 million and the cash outflow expended on purchase of treasury stock of $21.9 million,hence the net cash flows from financing activities is $19.9 million ($41,8 million minus $21.9 million)

Cash inflows and outflows from the sale of land ,equipment ,investments as well as that of patents relate to investing activities of Creative Sound Systems,hence are not included in the calculation of net cash flows from financing activities

The Westchester Chamber of Commerce periodically sponsors public service seminars and programs. Currently, promotional plans are under way for this year’s program. Advertising alternatives include television, radio, and online. Audience estimates, costs, and maximum media usage limitations are as shown: Constraint Television Radio Online Audience per advertisement 100000 18000 20000 Cost per advertisement $2000 $300 $600 Maximum media usage 10 20 10 To ensure a balanced use of advertising media, radio advertisements must not exceed 50% of the total number of advertisements authorized. In addition, television should account for at least 10% of the total number of advertisements authorized. If the promotional budget is limited to $31,100, how many commercial messages should be run on each medium to maximize total audience contact? What is the allocation of the budget among the three media? If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Answers

To maximize audience contact within a $31,100 budget, the optimal number of ads is 9 on television, 10 on radio, and 10 online, reaching an audience of about 1,620,000. The budget allocation is $18,000 for TV, $3,000 for radio, and $6,000 for online ads, totaling $27,000.

To maximize total audience contact within the budget of $31,100, given the constraints and audience per advertisement, we can set up the following linear programming model:

Objective:

Maximize audience contact: 100,000T + 18,000R + 20,000OConstraints:Budget constraint: 2000T + 300R + 600O ≤ 31,100Television constraint: 0.1(T+R+O) ≤ T (Television should account for at least 10% of the total)Radio constraint: R ≤ 0.5(T + R + O) (Radio ads must not exceed 50% of total ads)Usage constraints: 0 ≤ T ≤ 10, 0 ≤ R ≤ 20, 0 ≤ O ≤ 10

Solution:

The optimal solution typically requires solving these equations using linear programming methods like the simplex method or using software tools like Excel Solver. Here is an approximate solution:

Television ads (T): 9Radio ads (R): 10Online ads (O): 10

This allocation respects the budget constraint and maximizes audience contact, resulting in a total audience of approximately 1,620,000 people, and distributes the budget as follows:

Television: $18,000Radio: $3,000Online: $6,000Total: $27,000

On January 1, 2016, Hobart Mfg. Co. purchased a drill press at a cost of $30,500. The drill press is expected to last 10 years and has a residual value of $5,500.

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation expense in 2016 and 2017 is $2,500

Book value in 2016 = $28,000

Book value in 2017 = $25,500

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($30,500 - $5,500) / 10 = $2,500

The deprecation expense each year of its 10 year useful life would be $2,500.

Book value in 2016 = $30,500 - $2,500 = $28,000

Book value in 2017 = $28,000 - $2,500 = $25,500

In each of the following situations, identify if there is a positive or negative externality in play. Explain you answer thoroughly.

A local bridal shop shares a strip mall with eight other businesses. Recently all have agreed that the signage at the road needs a facelift. Although all eight businesses use the sign, the other seven are not willing to pay for a fresh paint job. The bridal shop decides to foot the bill and, on their own, they update the sign. Is there a positive or negative externality in play?

Answers

Answer:

Positive Externality

Explanation:

Externalities are extra side effects to third un-involved party, without any monetary transaction for the same

Positive Externality is the positive side effect to third un-involved party, without any monetary transaction for the same. Negative Externality is negative side effect to third un-involved party, without any monetary transaction for the same.

The Local bride shop has only paid for the road signage facelift. Despite, all the seven other shops sharing strip mall with it also use the sign. This act of local bride shop will have more visibility & other benefits for all the other 7 businesses linked to it, who have not although paid for it. So, the other 7 businesses have a positive extra effect due to local bride shops' act. Hence it is a positive externality for all of them.

Products A and B are joint products. Product A can be sold for $1,200 at the split-off point, or processed further at a cost of $600 and then sold for $1,700. Product B can be sold for $3,000 at the split-off point, or processed further at a cost of $800 and then sold for $4,000. The company should process further:

Answers

Answer:

Product B should be process further

Explanation:

A company should process further a product if the addtional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.

Product A                                                                     $

Additional revenue ( 1,700 - 1,200)                         500

Further processing cost                                         (600)

Loss from further processing                                 (100)

Product B                                                                       $

Additional revenue ( 4,000 - 3,000)                        1000

Further processing cost                                          (800)

Loss from further processing                                  200

The company should process further Product B as doing do will increase net income by $200.

Product A should be sold at the split off point because processing further will reduce the net income of the company by $100

You are going to value Lauryn’s Doll Co. using the FCF model. After consulting various sources, you find that Lauryn's has a reported equity beta of 1.7, a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4, and a tax rate of 30 percent. Assume a risk-free rate of 6 percent and a market risk premium of 11 percent. Lauryn’s Doll Co. had EBIT last year of $56 million, which is net of a depreciation expense of $5.6 million. In addition, Lauryn's made $5.3 million in capital expenditures and increased net working capital by $2.7 million. Assume the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 3 percent into perpetuity. What is the value of the firm

Answers

Final answer:

The FCF model is used to calculate the value of Lauryn’s Doll Co., factoring in equity beta, tax rates, EBIT, and growth expectations. The model relies on determining the WACC and applying it to the perpetual growth formula to find the enterprise value.

Explanation:

To calculate the value of Lauryn’s Doll Co. using the Free Cash Flow (FCF) model, we first need to determine the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The equity beta is 1.7, the debt-to-equity ratio is 0.4, and the tax rate is 30 percent. With a risk-free rate of 6 percent and a market risk premium of 11 percent, we can calculate the cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM): Cost of Equity = Risk-Free Rate + (Beta × Market Risk Premium). Next, we determine the free cash flow for the company which is EBIT (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation - Capital Expenditures - Increase in Net Working Capital. Finally, to find the enterprise value, we use the perpetual growth model: Enterprise Value = FCF / (WACC - Perpetual Growth Rate).

Here is a step-by-step breakdown with the given figures:

Calculate Cost of Equity: Equity = 6% + (1.7 × 11%) = 24.7%

EBIT after tax = $56 million × (1 - 0.3) = $39.2 million

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $39.2 million + $5.6 million - $5.3 million - $2.7 million = $36.8 million

Calculate WACC (assuming the cost of debt is approximately equal to the risk-free rate adjusted for tax): WACC = Cost of Equity × (Equity / (Equity + Debt)) + Cost of Debt × (Debt / (Equity + Debt)) × (1 - Tax Rate)

Determine Enterprise Value using Perpetual Growth Model:

To calculate the precise value of the firm, there is a need to determine the cost of debt and apply the WACC formula fully, but since we lack the cost of debt, a full calculation isn’t provided here.

The budgeted production of Taurus, Inc. is 13,000 units per month. Each unit requires 30 minutes of direct labor to complete. The direct labor rate is $80 per hour. Calculate the budgeted cost of direct labor for the month. (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor cost= $520,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The budgeted production of Taurus, Inc. is 13,000 units per month. Each unit requires 30 minutes of direct labor to complete. The direct labor rate is $80 per hour.

First, we need to calculate the total direct labor hours:

Direct labor hours= 13,000*0.5= 6,500 hours

Now, we can calculate the direct labor cost:

Direct labor cost= 6,500*80= $520,000

Answers

Answer:

machine's cost = $200,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 = $240,000

useful life of 4 years

salvage value of $25,000, depreciable value = $215,000

MACRS 3-year asset:

0.333 x $215,000 = $71,5950.445 x $215,000 = $95,6750.148 x $215,000 = $31,8200.074 x $215,000 = $15,910

incremental sales of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

1,250 x $200 = $250,0001,250 x $206 = $257,5001,250 x $212.18 = $265,2251,250 x $218.55 = $273,188

incremental COGS of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

1,250 x $100 = $125,0001,250 x $103 = $128,7501,250 x $106.09 = $132,6131,250 x $109.27 = $136,588

net working capital increases by 12% of sales revenue = $250,000 x 12% = $30,000

WACC = 10%

tax rate = 40%

initial investment = $240,000 (machine cost) + $30,000 (working capital) = $270,000

net cash year 1 = [($250,000 - $125,000 - $71,595) x (1 - 40%)] + $71,595 = $103,638net cash year 2 = [($257,500 - $128,750 - $95,675) x (1 - 40%)] + $95,675 = $115,520net cash year 3 = [($265,225 - $136,588 - $31,820) x (1 - 40%)] + $31,820 = $92,295net cash year 4 = [($273,188 - $136,588 - $15,910) x (1 - 40%)] + $15,910 = $88,324 + $25,000 (salvage value) + $30,000 (net working capital) = $143,324

to calculate the present value:

PV = $103,638/1.1 + $115,520/1.1² + $92,295/1.1³ + $143,324/1.1⁴ = $94,216 + $95,471 + $69,343 + $97,892 = $356,922

NPV = $356,922 - $270,000 = $86,922

Final answer:

To analyze the viability of Adams, Incorporated's new business venture, construct annual incremental operating cash flow statements factoring in the initial equipment investment, sales, costs, and inflation. Calculate depreciation using MACRS and adjust net working capital to reflect the 12% of sales revenues. This process is critical to projecting the potential profitability of the investment.

Explanation:

The analysis of the viability of a new line of business for Adams, Incorporated involves constructing annual incremental operating cash flow statements. The initial investment consists of $200,000 for machinery, $10,000 for shipping, and $30,000 for installation. The machinery, which falls under MACRS 3-year property, has a projected useful life of 4 years and an estimated salvage value of $25,000. Sales are expected to be 1,250 units annually at $200 per unit initially, with both cost and sales price inflating by 3% per year. The net working capital will increase proportionately to 12% of sales revenues. The tax rate is 40%, and the weighted average cost of capital is 10%.



Example Operating Cash Flow Calculation (Year 1)

Initial Sales Revenue: 1,250 units × $200 = $250,000

Incremental Cost (excluding depreciation): 1,250 units × $100 = $125,000

Depreciation: Based on MACRS 3-year schedule for Year 1

Taxable Income: Sales Revenue - Incremental Costs - Depreciation

Taxes: Taxable Income × 40%

Net Operating Cash Flow: Taxable Income - Taxes + Depreciation

Net Working Capital Increase: 12% of Sales Revenue

For subsequent years, index the sales and costs by the inflation rate to calculate the new values. This example illustrates how to start the cash flow analysis by estimating the first year's operating cash flow. The exercise would be repeated for years 2 to 4, factoring in inflation-adjusted revenues, costs, and the annual depreciation, in accordance with MACRS.

Activity 3                           $116,840               $3,200              $6,000

Answer:

Overhead per unit of Product A = $11.796

Explanation:

Activity 1 allocated to Product A = $120,600 * $3700  / ($3700  + $3500)

                                                      = $ 61975

Activity 2 allocated to Product A =  $84,480 *$5,900 / ($5,900+ $6,900 )

                                                       = $ 38940

Activity 3 allocated to Product A = $116,840 * $3,200 / ($3,200 + $6,000)

                                                      = $ 40640

Total allocated to Product A = $ 61975+ $ 38940 + $ 40640

                                               =  $141,555

Overhead per unit of Product A = Total allocated to Product A/Number of

                                                            units produced by product A

Overhead per unit of Product A = $141,555 / 12,000

Overhead per unit of Product A = $11.796

Randy Rouser completes landscaping work on Nina Tothill’s yard, and Nina writes a $1,750 check from her account at Small Bank. The check is written as payable to Randy Rouser. Randy needs to pay house repair bills, so he indorses the check and delivers it to Christina Caliss, a professional plumber, for value received. Christina in turn deposits the check in her account at Large Bank. Large Bank quickly returns the check to Christina with a mark stating that the check has insufficient funds. Christina wants to know whether Randy or Nina can be held liable for the check. Advise Christina on what she needs to know in order to answer that question.

Answers

Answer: Christina can hold Randy liable for the check

Explanation:

In this scenario it is important to note 2 things.

1. Nina PAID Randy.

2. Randy PAID Christina.

The point is that Randy is the one who had a contract with Nina. Even though Nina is the one who's check was not honored, Christina has NO CONTRACT with Nina. This means she cannot hold her liable.

As far as Christina is concerned, the check came from Randy and so she should hold him liable.

Randy on his part can then go back to Nina and hold her liable because he is the one who had a contract with her.

2. John likes coffee and cookies. The price for one cup of coffee is $1; the price for one cookie is $1. His marginal utility for coffee is 10 – x, where x is the amount of coffee. His marginal utility for cookies is 21 – 2 y, where y is the number of cookies. How many cups of coffee and units of cookies will John buy if he has only $10

Answers

Answer:

3 cups of Coffee and 7 units of cookies

Explanation:

In order to maximize his utility John will satisfy the following relationship

The Rational Spending Rule for two goods, X and Y:

MUX/PX = MUY/PY

 10 - x = 21 - 2y

  10 - 21 + 2y = x

  x = 2y - 11. ..........equation (1)

A budget line shows combinations of two goods a consumer is able to consume, given a budget constraint. Here John's constraint is $10,

we have, cups of coffee (x) + units of cookies (y) = $10

x + y = 10

We substitute X with the value of x in equation (1)

(2y - 11) + y = 10

2y +y = 10 + 11

3y = 21

y = 7.

y is the number of cookies, therefore y = 7 units

x = 2y - 11 = 2 × 7 - 11 = 14 - 11 = 3

x is the amount of coffee, therefore x = 3 cups.

If John has $10 he will 3 cups of Coffee and 7 units of cookies

In the given scenario, Purple Turtle Group has purchase goods and received an invoice of $2,100.98 with credit terms of 3.5/15, net 60. This means that the payment is due to be paid in next 60 days with a 3.5% discount if the payment is made within next 15 days. The actual invoice price will be then,

$2,100.98 * (100% - 3.5%) = $2,027.45

General Importers announced that it will pay a dividend of $4.30 per share one year from today. After that, the company expects a slowdown in its business and will not pay a dividend for the next 6 years. Then, 8 years from today, the company will begin paying an annual dividend of $2.40 forever. The required return is 12.7 percent. What is the price of the stock today?

Answers

Answer:

The price of the stock today is $11.59

Explanation:

As Gordon Growth Model, price of stock = expected dividend paid/ (discounting rate - growth rate)

Growth rate of dividend from year 1 to year 8 (after 7 years)

= ($2.4/$4.3)^(1/7) - 1 = -8%

Price of stock = $2.4/(12.7% - (-8%) = $11.59

calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price of a barrel of gosum berries rises from $10 to $20. What kind of elasticity is this value that you computed for the price elasticity of demand and what does it mean for how demand will change based on a change in price within this price range

Answers

Answer:

PED = -0.176 or 0.176 in absolute terms. It is price inelastic, since PED < 1.

Explanation:

the quantity demanded for a price of $10 is 900 barrels.

the quantity demanded for a price of $20 is 800 barrels.

Using the midpoint method for calculating PED:

PED = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

PED = {(800 - 900) / [(800 + 900) / 2]} / {($20 - $10) / [($20 + $10) / 2]}

PED = (-100 / 850) / ($10 / $15) = -0.1176 / 0.6667 = -0.176

Price elasticity of demand measures how much does the quantity demanded of a good or service vary as a result form a 1% change in its price.

PED < 1, price inelastic. A 1% change in price will result in a proportionally smaller change in quantity demanded. PED > 1, price elastic. A 1% change in price will result in a proportionally larger change in quantity demanded. PED = 1, price unitary. A 1% change in price will result in a proportionally equal  change in quantity demanded.

Final answer:

The price elasticity of demand measures how demand changes with changes in price. In this scenario, if the price of gosum berries increases by 100% and demand decreases by 50%, the price elasticity of demand would be -0.5, which means demand is price inelastic. This means consumers will still purchase gosum berries even when prices rise.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand quantifies how sensitive the demand of a product is to changes in its price. To calculate this, we would need to know by how much the quantity demanded changed as a result of the price change. Unfortunately, without this information, we cannot compute the exact price elasticity of demand in this example. However, let me explain how it would work if we had the necessary data.

Price elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. For example, if the price increased from $10 to $20, that would be a 100% increase in price. If, as a result of this price increase, the quantity demanded goes down by, say, 50%, then the price elasticity of demand would be -50%/100% = -0.5.

This negative value represents the inverse relationship between price and demand - as the price increases, the demand decreases. As for the kind of elasticity, if the price elasticity of demand is absolute value less than 1 (as in this example), we refer to it as price inelastic.

This means that demand is not very sensitive to price changes - a 1% increase in price leads to less than a 1% decrease in quantity demanded. In other words, consumers will continue to buy the product even if the price increases, suggesting that gosum berries are likely necessary goods for the consumers.

Roosevelt Corporation has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales for Roosevelt are 40,000 Standard and 60,000 Supreme. Fixed expenses are $1,800,000. How many Standards would Roosevelt sell at the break-even point?

Answers

Answer:

Standards sales at break even point are 24000 units

Explanation:

The weightage of each product in sales mix is for each product is,

Total sales = 40000 + 60000 = 100000 units

Standard = 40000 / 100000 = 0.4

Supreme = 60000 / 100000 = 0.6

We first need to calculate the overall break even point in units and divide it in the sales mix.

The overall break even point in units = Fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin per unit

Overall break even in units = 1800000 / 30   =  60000 units

Standards sales at break even point = 60000 * 0.4 = 24000 units

Roosevelt Corporation would sell 16,000 Standard units at the break-even point, covering its fixed expenses.

To find the number of Standard units Roosevelt Corporation would sell at the break-even point, we can use the contribution margin ratio.

1. Calculate the total contribution margin:

  Contribution margin per unit = Weighted-average unit contribution margin = $30

  Total contribution margin = Contribution margin per unit × Expected sales

                            = $30 × 40,000

                            = $1,200,000

2. Use the contribution margin ratio to find the break-even point:

  Contribution margin ratio = Total contribution margin / Total sales

                            = $1,200,000 / ($30 × 40,000 + $30 × 60,000)

                            = $1,200,000 / ($1,200,000 + $1,800,000)

                            ≈ 0.4

3. Determine the break-even sales for Standard units:

  Break-even sales for Standard = Break-even sales × Proportion of Standard sales

                                = 0.4 × 40,000

                                = 16,000 units

Therefore, Roosevelt Corporation would sell 16,000 Standard units at the break-even point.

The break-even point occurs when total contribution margin equals fixed expenses, meaning the company has covered all its costs and has neither profit nor loss.

One hundred of the voters in a town are willing to pay $100 each to support a public green space, which will cost $10,000 to build and maintain. One hundred and fifty voters in the same town do not value the public green space. What is the social marginal benefit of the public green space

Answers

Answer:

Social Marginal Benefit = 10000

Net Social Marginal Benefit = 0

Explanation:

For Public Goods, Marginal benefit to each consumer is reflected within their willingness to pay for the public good.

Marginal Benefit (Willingness to pay) = 100 for 100 people, 0 for 150 people

So, Marginal Benefit = (100) (100) + (150) (0)

= 10,000

Marginal Cost of the public good space = 10000 [Given]

Net Social Marginal Benefit = Marginal Benefit - Marginal Cost

= 10,000 - 10,000

= 0

Final answer:

The social marginal benefit of the public green space is $10,000, which is the total amount the 100 supportive voters are willing to pay. The 150 voters who do not value the space contribute $0 to the social marginal benefit.

Explanation:

The social marginal benefit of the public green space is the total value that all the town's inhabitants obtain from it. In this scenario, 100 voters are willing to pay $100 each, so their total valuation is $10,000. The other 150 voters do not value the space, so their contribution is $0. Therefore, the social marginal benefit, in this case, is $10,000.

It should be noted that what is considered as 'benefit' in economics might not necessarily mean profit or monetary gain. Instead, it encompasses everything that people value, whether in monetary terms or not, like the joy of having a public green space to visit.

For each form of private spending, indicate whether it represents consumption or investment.
Private Spending Consumption Investment
1. Laundromats buying washing machines
2. People buying newspapers
3. Firms buying automobiles for delivery services
4. Firms buying soft drinks for a holiday party

Answers

Answer: 1. Investment; 2. Consumption; 3. Investment; 4. Consumption

Explanation: Consumption is defined as trading money for good or services as an individual as well as to absorb information, especially through a media form. It refers to expenditure on consumer goods that are not used in the production of other goods and services.

Investment on the other hand refers to expenditure on capital goods or assets that can be used to produce other goods and services thus investment spending stimulates greater production in an economy than consumption spending does.

Private consumption spending in this case would include people buying newspapers and firms buying soft drinks for a holiday party. Private investment spending includes laundromats buying washing machines and firms buying automobile for delivery services.

2. Advertising space taken out on a social media network

3. Supplies like sugar, butter, and baking trays

4. The money they pay their neighbor's six year old son to deliver cupcakes to their customers

5. The salary Alex earned in his previous job designing light fixtures

Answers

Answer:

1. The garage space used for baking that can no longer be rented to a college student - implicit costs

Implicit costs are the opportunity costs, or in other words, what they give up to run the cupcake bakery. In this case, they are giving up on the rent they would get.

2. Advertising space taken out on a social media network - explicit costs

Explicit costs are monetary cost. To advertise on social media, they probably have to pay. In case they can advertise for free, then, this is not a cost.

3. Supplies like sugar, butter, and baking trays - explicit costs

Supplies have to be paid for with money, for these reason, they represent an explicit cost.

4. The money they pay their neighbor's six year old son to deliver cupcakes to their customers - explicit costs

Wages are also explicit costs because they have to be paid for with money. In this case, the kid is like their employee, and the money he earns is his wage.

5. The salary Alex earned in his previous job designing light fixtures - implicit costs

Alex quit his job to run the cupcake bakery instead. The salary he used to earn is something that he has given up, or an opportunity cost. Therefore, this salary represents an implicit cost.

On 1/1/X1, P acquired 80% of S for $800,000 when S's equity included $500,000 capital stock and $500,000 of Retained Earnings. During years X1 and X2 S earned $100,000 and $120,000, respectively. In both years, S paid $20,000 of dividends. Assume that P uses the cost method and that you are consolidating the pre-closing trial balances of P and S on 12/31/X2. What worksheet entries are required to establish reciprocity between P's Investment and S's equity accounts so that they can be liminated

Answers

Answer:

The worksheet entries are;

Debit Investment in S for $80,000 and credit P's Retained Earnings for $80,000

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate and state the worksheet entries that are required to establish reciprocity between P’s investments and S’s equity accounts so they can be liminated

We proceed as follows;

Firstly, we identify the beginning retained earning balance of s as at 1/1/x1; This is $500,000 as obtained from the question.

We then add the net income for two years which is 100,000

Mathematically this will give ; 500,000 + 100,000 = $600,000

This mean that the retained earning is $600,000

Now the unrecognized income is the retained earning - Beginning retained earning balance of s = 600,000-500,000 = $100,000

P’s share is 80% of this which is 80% of 100,000 = $80,000

Thus the worksheet entries is as follows;

Debit Investment in S for $80,000 and credit P's Retained Earnings for $80,000

In a recent study for the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), four researchers looked at the effect of generous unemployment benefits on the local unemployment rate. They compared the unemployment situation in adjoining counties, which happened to lie in two different states that had different laws regarding the amount and duration of unemployment benefits. (Re-read the section on "A Natural Experiment of History" in Chapter 8 of the test to understand how the NBER research is based on a "natural experiment") The authors of the NBER study found that the unemployment rate "rises dramatically in the border counties belonging to the states that expanded unemployment benefit duration" during the Great Recession. Why might this be so? With the longer duration of unemployment benefits, firms needed to keep wages high to attract people to work. This caused downward wage rigidity, leading to persistent higher unemployment. The longer duration of unemployment benefits encouraged those workers who were unemployed to seek work sooner to avoid having their skills diminish, which increased the time for job search, leading to higher unemployment The longer the duration of benefits, the lower the wages become that firms will offer new workers. This caused upward wage rigidly, causing unemployment to rise dramatically. All of the above.

Antiques R Us is a mature manufacturing firm. The company just paid a dividend of $12.15, but management expects to reduce the payout by 6 percent per year, indefinitely. If you require a return of 10 percent on this stock, what will you pay for a share today?

Answers

Answer:

$70.86

Explanation:

The calculation of present value a share is shown below:-

Present value of share = Dividend (1 + Growth rate) ÷ (Rate of return + Growth rate)

= ($12.15 × (1 - 0.061)) ÷ (0.10 + 0.061)

= ($12.15 × 0.939) ÷ 0.161

= $11.40885 ÷ 0.161

= $70.86

Therefore for computing the present value we simply applied the above formula.

In 2017, Eraser Corp had Revenue of $200 million, Cost of Goods Sold of $100 million (this includes Depreciation of $50 million), Sales General and Admin Expenses of $50 million, and faced a tax rate of 21%. Assume that no money was spent on Capital Expenditures or on additional Net Working Capital. According to our recipe, what should be the after-tax cash flow generated by Eraser Corp in 2017 (in millions)

Answers

Answer:

The after-tax cash flow generated by Eraser Corp in 2017 should be $89.5 million

Explanation:

Net income before tax = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Sales General and Admin Expenses = $200 million - $100 million - $50 million  = $50 million

Eraser Corp faced a tax rate of 21%,

Tax paid  = 21% x $50 million = $10.5 million

No money was spent on Capital Expenditures or on additional Net Working Capital.

The after-tax cash flow generated by Eraser Corp in 2017 = Net income before tax + Depreciation expense - Tax = $50 million + $50 million - $10.5 million = $89.5 million

Note: Depreciation expense is Non-Cash Expenses, so it does not include in Cash Flow.

Waterway Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,385,600 and retained earnings of $5,415,900 at December 31, 2020. Waterway later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $103,320 and $38,040, respectively.

Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings

a. Corrected cost of goods sold $___
b. Corrected 12/31/20 retained earnings $ ____.

Answers

Answer:

(a) $1,320,320

(b) $5,377,860

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of goods sold for 2020 = $1,385,600

Retained earnings at December 31, 2020 = $5,415,900

Ending inventories at December 31, 2019 overstated by $103,320

Ending inventories at December 31, 2020 overstated by $38,040

Cost of goods sold is calculated as follows:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases during the period - Ending inventory

The closing inventory is overstated by $38,040, indicates that the large amount of ending inventories is deducted while calculating the cost of goods sold. Therefore, it is added to the cost of goods sold.

The beginning inventory is overstated by $103,320, indicates that the large amount of opening inventory is added while calculating the cost of goods sold. Therefore, it is deducted to the cost of goods sold.

(a) Corrected cost of goods sold:

= Incorrect cost of goods sold for 2020 + Overstated ending inventory - Overstated opening inventory

= $1,385,600 + $38,040 - $103,320

= $1,320,320

(b) The retained

Corrected 12/31/20 retained earnings:

= Incorrect retained earnings - Overstated ending inventory at December 31, 2020

= $5,415,900 - $38,040

= $5,377,860

The retained earnings is calculated on the basis of higher ending inventories, so it must be deducted from the retained earnings.
