Mezzanine lenders will occasionally include features like "PIK Toggle"s, which allow the borrower to "pay" its interest by rolling it into the loan balance. Thus, if the company can't make an interest payment as normally scheduled, it can defer some or all of the interest for a period of time. This is one of the reasons why borrowers like mezzanine debt. True or false?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Under PIK loan, the borrower doesn't have to make cash interest payment instead, the interest accrues to the amount of the principal loan which continues to increase over time.
A PIK "toggle" allows the company to choose whether to pay the interest in cash or have it accrue to the principal.
A firm estimates that its proposed capital budget will force it to issue new common stock, which has a greater cost than the cost of retained earnings. The firm, however, would like to avoid issuing costly new common stock. Which of the following steps would mitigate the firmâs need to raise new common stock? a. Increasing the companyâs dividend payout ratio for the upcoming year.b. Reducing the companyâs debt ratio for the upcoming year.c. Increasing the companyâs proposed capital budget.d. All of the statements above are correct. e.None of the statements above is correct.
Answer:
Option D. All of the statements above are correct.
Explanation:
The reason is that the capital budget is the budget of investment in the business and in the current situation their is shortage of fund. So to meet the demand we can not pay dividends because it reduces the available cash available for investment. So the option A is incorrect.
Option B is also incorrect because the reducing debt ration means paying off the liabilities which again decrease the amount of cash available to invest in the company. So the option B is incorrect.
Increasing the proposed capital budget will require greater amount of funds. As we are already in shortage of funds, increasing capital budget is not the right course of action. So the option C is also incorrect.
Option E is also incorrect none of the option was correct, hence the correct option is D.
Reducing the company's debt ratio for the upcoming year could be a way to mitigate the firm's need to raise new common stock. This would free up funds being used for debt repayments, reducing the need for further external financing, such as issuing new common stock.
Explanation:The firm's need to raise additional capital by issuing costly new common stock could be mitigated by following one or several strategies that include making internal adjustments and reducing the need for such external financing. However, from your options, reducing the companyâs debt ratio for the upcoming year (Option b) is the most appropriate.
Lowering the debt ratio could free up funds currently used for debt repayments, thereby reducing the need for external financing like issuing new common stock. Increasing the dividend payout or the capital budget (Options a and c) would require more financing, not less, and so these options are not viable. So Choice b is the correct answer.

New-Tech Corporation borrowed $20,000 from the bank on March 1, 2011. The note carried a 9% annual interest rate and a 1-year term to maturity. The company paid the principal and the interest in cash on the maturity date. What amount of interest expense will New-Tech Corporation show on its 2011 and 2012 income statements? 2011 2012 a $ -O- $1,800 b. $1,800 $ -O- $1,500 $ 300 d. $1,350 $ 450
Answer:
The correct answer is:
$ -O- $1,800 (a)
Explanation:
Principal = Amount borrowed = $20,000
interest rate = 9% = 0.09
Time = 1 year
Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Simple Interest = 20,000 × 0.09 × 1 = $1,800.
Next, we are asked to show how interest expense will appear in 2011 and 2012 income statements respectively. First note that the 2011 interest expense will be recorded as $0 because that was the year in which the money was borrowed, and it was not paid back until 2012. In 2012, the interest and principal was paid back, and from the calculation, the interest paid was $1,800.

E. None of the above.
F. The type of responsibility center affects financial planning models.
G. These models affect the behavior of managers who aim to achieve a high profit and increase revenues.
Answer: C. The type of responsibility center determines what the manager is accountable for and thereby affects the manager's behavior.
Explanation: The choice of a type of responsibility center( cost profit, revenue or investment ) affects the manager's behavior and what the manager will be responsible for.
Also the choice of the responsibility center type can guide the variables to be included when budgeting.
Final answer:
The type of responsibility center determines what managers are accountable for, which affects their behavior. Each center influences managerial focus—cost centers on expenses, revenue centers on sales, profit centers on both, and investment centers on asset returns and ROI. The correct answer is that responsibility centers impact manager accountability and behavior.
Explanation:
The type of responsibility center chosen within an organization greatly impacts managerial behavior because it determines what managers are accountable for. When a manager is in charge of a cost center, the focus is on controlling expenses and optimizing operational efficiency.
Conversely, if the manager oversees a revenue center, the emphasis shifts to generating sales and income. In the case of a profit center, the manager's attention is divided between both, managing costs and increasing revenues. Finally, being responsible for an investment center means that the manager must consider not only profits but also the return on investment of the assets under their control.
These different types of responsibility centers affect behavior because managers will prioritize actions that align with their performance metrics. For instance, a manager of a cost center might implement strict budget controls, while an investment center manager might analyze whether to divest from non-performing assets. Recognizing those patterns is essential to understanding how different types of responsibility centers incentivize managerial decision-making and strategic focus.
In conclusion, the correct explanation regarding how the choice of responsibility center affects behavior is: C. The type of responsibility center determines what the manager is accountable for and thereby affects the manager's behavior.

A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by upper c equals 0.2 x squared plus 10 comma 000.how fast is the cost per month changing when production is changing at the rate of 13units per month and the production level is 70units
Answer:
The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.
Explanation:
Differentiation Formula
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= nx^{n-1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{d}{dx}(a)=0[/tex] [ where a is a constant][tex]\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n)=a \frac{d}{dx}(x^n)= anx^{n-1}[/tex]Given that,
A manufacturer of handcrafted wine racks has determined that the cost to produce x units per month is given by
[tex]c=0.2x^2+10,000[/tex].
Again given that,
the rate of changing production is 13 unit per month
i.e [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=13[/tex]
To find the cost per month, we need to find out the value [tex]\frac{dc}{dt}[/tex] when production is changing at the rate 13 units per month and the production is 70 units.
[tex]c=0.2x^2+10,000[/tex]
Differentiating with respect to t
[tex]\frac{d}{dt}(c)=\frac{d}{dt}(0.2x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\frac{d}{dt}(x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(10,000)[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.2\times 2x^{2-1}\frac{dx}{dt}+0[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]
Plugging [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}=13[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=0.4x\times 13[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=5.2x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dc}{dt}|_{x=70}=5.2\times 70[/tex] [ plugging x=70]
=364
[ The unit of c is not given. Assume that the unit of c is dollar.]
The cost per month is increasing at a rate $365.
To find the rate at which the cost per month is changing, differentiate the cost function and substitute the production level.
Explanation:To find how fast the cost per month is changing, we need to find the derivative of the cost function with respect to x. Given that the cost function is given by C = 0.2x^2 + 10,000, where x represents the number of units produced per month, we can differentiate the function to find the rate of change of the cost per month.
Using the power rule, the derivative of 0.2x^2 is 0.4x. Since x is changing at the rate of 13 units per month, we substitute this value into the derivative: 0.4(13). Evaluating this expression gives us the rate at which the cost per month is changing.
Finally, substituting the production level of 70 units per month into the derivative expression: 0.4(70), we can determine the rate at which the cost per month is changing when production is at 70 units per month.

If the price level increases, __________.
a. the money demand curve shifts to the right
b. there is movement along with a stationary money demand curve
c. the money demand curve shifts to the left
d. I DON'T KNOW YET
If the price level increases, a. the money demand curve shifts to the right.
Explanation:The money demand curve illustrates the relationship between the interest rate and the quantity of money that individuals and businesses want to hold in an economy. It typically slopes downward, indicating that as interest rates rise, the quantity of money demanded falls, and vice versa. Factors affecting money demand include income, price levels, and interest rates.
If the price level increases, the money demand curve shifts to the right. This is because when the price level rises, people need more money to purchase the same amount of goods and services, so they will demand more money. This leads to a rightward shift of the money demand curve.

#SPJ12
"The correct option is a. If the price level increases the money demand curve shifts to the right.
When the price level increases, the value of money decreases because with higher prices, each unit of currency can buy fewer goods and services. As a result, people will need more money to conduct the same amount of transactions.
This increased demand for money to maintain the same level of transactions leads to a rightward shift in the money demand curve. This is because, at each price level, a greater quantity of money is now demanded.
To understand this concept, consider the equation of exchange:
[tex]\[ MV = PQ \][/tex]
where M is the money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level, and Q is the quantity of goods and services produced. If P increases and Q and V remain constant, M must increase to keep the equation balanced, indicating an increased demand for money.
Therefore, the statement the money demand curve shifts to the right correctly describes the impact of an increase in the price level on the money demand curve."

Leigh Delight Candy, Inc. is choosing between two bonds in which to invest their cash. One is being offered from Hershey's and will mature in 10 years and pay $30 each quarter. The other alternative is a Mars' bond that will mature in 20 years and pay $30 each quarter. What would be the present value of each bond if the discount rate is 10% compounded quarterly, and each bond pays $1,000 at maturity?
Answer:
Hersey's bond = $1125.513
Mars bond = $1172.259
Explanation:
Hersey bond;
Period(t) = 10years = 40(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
Using the both present value (PV) and compound interest formula ;
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-40)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^40]
PV =( 753.083251562) + (372.4306236)
PV = $1125.513
Mars bond;
Period(t) = 20years = 80(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-80)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^80]
PV =(1033.55451663) + (138.704569467)
PV = $1172.259
The present value of Hersey's bond = $1125.513.
And, the present value of the Mars bond = $1172.259.
Calculation of the present value:For Hersey bond;
Period(t) = 10years = 40(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
Now the following formula should be used
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-40)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^40]
PV =( 753.083251562) + (372.4306236)
PV = $1125.513
For Mars bond;
Period(t) = 20years = 80(quartely)
Coupon (C) = $30
Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)
Pay at maturity(p) = $1000
Now
PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]
PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-80)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^80]
PV =(1033.55451663) + (138.704569467)
PV = $1172.259

Answer:
D) $2,622
Explanation:
Daily costs
= ($8/meal x 3 meals/day x 2 people) + $45 + $190 + $25) = $308 daily costs
Total costs
= ($400 x 2) + 90 + 500 + (308 x 4 days)
Hence:
Total costs = 800 + 90 + 500 + 1,232
= $2,622

We have the following costs:
Flights = $400 per person
Food = $8 per meal per person
Car rental = $45 per day
Hotel costs = $190 per night
Airport parking = $25 per day
Gas = $90
Tours and souvenirs = $500
We calculate as follows:
Daily costs = (($8/meal x 3 meals/day x 2 people) + $45 + $190 + $25) = $308 daily costs
Total costs = ($400 x 2) + 90 + 500 + (308 x 4 days)
Total costs = 800 + 90 + 500 + 1,232 = $2,622.

On June 1, the board of directors of Big, Inc. declare a 20% stock dividend. On this date, there were 10,000 shares of $1 par value stock issued and outstanding and the market value was $5 per share. The entry to record this transaction would include a (debit/credit) to Retained Earnings in the amount of $ .
Answer:
The answer is Debit to Retained Earnings of $10,000.
Explanation:
Retained earnings simply put, is an accumulation of net income or loss over years minus dividend payouts (cash or stock).
The value of the stock in the company prior to the stock dividend payment was $1 x 10,000 units = $10,000
Meanwhile the market value increased to $5/share, the value now becomes $5 x 10,000 units = $50,000
20% stock dividend translates to 0.2 x $50,000 = $10,000
So, appropriate entries would be:
Debit Retained earnings $10,000
Credit Common stock $10,000
(To record stock dividend payment)

Sales promotion refers to a short-term inducement of value offered to arouse interest in buying a product or service. Unlike long-term marketing strategies focused on building brand loyalty, sales promotions are designed to temporarily boost sales by creating a sense of urgency. Examples include discounts, coupons, contests, and free samples, which can effectively attract new customers and encourage repeat purchases.It's important to distinguish between sales promotions and advertising. While advertising is a paid form of communication aimed at influencing a target audience's attitudes or behaviors over a longer period, sales promotions are immediate and short-lived.

SummerSnowman Industries' last dividend was $1.25. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 15.0% for 3 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% forever. If the firm's required return (rs) is 11%, what is its current stock price? Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
$33.50
Explanation:
we can use the perpetual growth model to determine the price of the stock
the firm's stock price = ($1.25 x 1.15)/1.11 + ($1.25 x 1.15²)/1.11² + ($1.25 x 1.15³)/1.11³ + [($1.25 x 1.15³ x 1.06)/(11% - 6%)]/1.11³
the stock price in 3 years = ($1.25 x 1.15³ x 1.06)/(11% - 6%) = $40.30
the firm's stock price = ($1.25 x 1.15)/1.11 + ($1.25 x 1.15²)/1.11² + ($1.25 x 1.15³)/1.11³ + $40.30/1.11³ = $1.30 + $1.34 + $1.39 + $29.47 = $33.50

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": bridge.
Explanation:
Leadership has different functions within companies and teams. It is a bridge to the extent that leaders act as mediators between parties that do not come to a settlement or that have trouble dealing with each other because of a wide range of reasons such as cultural features. Leaders try to understand each party's position and offer a solution that benefits both individuals so they can work towards a common goal.
Thus, thanks to his experience with diverse cultures abroad, Glenn is likely to act as a bridge after he comes back to the U.S.
Answer:
bridge
Explanation:
The notion of building bridges represents binding different cultures or social classes and bringing them together. In a company, bridge leadership refers to promoting collaborative actions between different divisions or departments. In this case, Glenn is returning from Europe and Tokyo after four years and his future subordinates expect that he will be able to transfer his knowledge and work experience to them. They also expect a change in the way they work with the company's foreign branches.
Terps Company received a promissory note from a customer on October 1, 2019. The principal amount of the note is $25,000; the terms are 8 months and a 6% annual interest. Assuming the accounting period ends on December 31, determine the interest revenue recorded by the company for the year ending on December 31, 2020
Answer:
The answer is $3,000

=$1,000.
October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 is 3 months
The interest revenue that will be recorded for the year 2019 is $1,000 x 3 months
=$3,000
The drought of 2011 devastated hay crops in the plains states and horse owners ranged far and wide to purchase hay for their horses when winter arrived. Hay can be purchased "up north" for $4 a bale and a few entrepreneurs with large trailers were more than willing to pick up a few hundred bales and haul them south where demand was high. The transportation cost was $6 per bale and a packing and loading cost of $1 was typical. The landed cost of a bale of hay this winter was:
Answer:
The options are given below:
A. $10.
B. $4.
C. $6.
D. $11.
The correct options is D.
Explanation:
Landed cost refers to the total price of a product or shipment once it has arrived at a buyer's doorstep. It includes the original price of the product, the transportation fees (both inland and ocean), customs, duties, taxes, tariffs, insurance, currency conversion, crating, handling and payment fees.
Therefore, in calculating the landed cost of the question above, we sum all the costs incurred thus:
Purchase price = $4
Transportation cost = $6
Packing and loading cost = $1
Landing cost = $4 + $6 + $1 = $11.
Swifty Corporation required production for June is 42000 units. To make one unit of finished product, three pounds of direct material Z are required. Actual beginning and desired ending inventories of direct material Z are 210000 and 240000 pounds, respectively. How many pounds of direct material Z must be purchased?
Answer:
Purchases= 156,000 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Swifty Corporation required production for June is 42000 units.
Standard quantity= 3 pounds per unit.
Beginning inventory= 210,000 pounds
Desired ending inventory= 240,000 pounds.
To calculate the purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 42,000*3 + 240,000 - 210,000
Purchases= 156,000 pounds
Donatello Co. has identified an activity cost pool to which it has allocated estimated overhead of $9,600,000. It has determined the expected use of cost drivers for that activity to be 800,000 inspections. Widgets require 200,000 inspections, Gadgets 150,000 inspections, and Targets 450,000 inspections. How much is the overhead assigned to each product
Answer:
$9,600,000
Explanation:
The computation of overhead assigned to each product is shown below:-
Overhead rate activity = Total overhead cost ÷ Total number of activity
= $9,600,000 ÷ $800,000
= $12
So, the Total overhead assigned to each product = (Widgets × Overhead rate activity) + (Gadgets × Overhead rate activity) + (Targets × Overhead rate activity)
= ($200,000 × 12) + ($150,000 × 12) + ($450,000 × 12)
= 2,400,000 + 1,800,000 + 5,400,000
= $9,600,000
Therefore for computing the overhead assigned to each product we simply applied the above formula.
