Answer:
The machine's first year (partial) depreciation expense was $1,400
Explanation:
Harding Co. uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:
Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Salvage Value )/Useful Life = ($14,000 - $2,000)/5 = $2,400
Depreciation Expense of each month = $2,400/12 = $200
In the first year, from June 1st through December 31st, the machine had been used for 7 months.
Depreciation Expense = Depreciation expense of each month x 7 = $200 x 7 = $1,400
Answer:
$1400
Explanation:
Fixed costs are irrelevant in the decision about whether to shut down production in the short run because fixed costs:
A. do not affect, and are not affected by, the quantity the firm produces
B. only charge when production changes
C. only change in the short run
D. affect, and are affected by, the quantity the firm produces
Answer:
A. do not affect, and are not affected by, the quantity the firm produces
Explanation:
In a short run shutdown, regardless of the production of volume or if there is any production at all, fixed costs still have to be paid in full and therefore are irrelevant in the decision about whether to shut down production in the short run.
Thus, the answer is A. do not affect, and are not affected by, the quantity the firm produces.
You are a bidder in an independent private values auction, and you value the object at $4,000. Each bidder perceives that valuations are uniformly distributed between $1,000 and $7,000
Determine your optimal bidding strategy in a first-price, sealed-bid auction when the total number of bidders (including you) is:
a. 2 bidders.
b. 10 bidders.
c. 100 bidders.
Answer:

Final answer:
In a first-price, sealed-bid auction, the optimal bidding strategy with independent private values suggests bidding a fraction of your valuation, with the fraction being (n-1)/n where n is the number of bidders. For 2 bidders, bid $2,000; for 10 bidders, bid $3,600; for 100 bidders, bid $3,960.
Explanation:
In a first-price, sealed-bid auction, bidders submit one bid without knowing the others' bids, and the highest bidder wins but pays their bid amount. The optimal bidding strategy depends on the number of bidders, as it influences the probability of winning. According to auction theory, under the assumption of independent private values where bidders' valuations are uniformly distributed, the equilibrium strategy recommends bidding a fraction of your valuation, determined by the formula (n-1)/n, where n is the number of bidders.
With 2 bidders, the fraction is 1/2, so the bid should be $4,000 * (1/2) = $2,000.
With 10 bidders, the fraction is 9/10, so the bid should be $4,000 * (9/10) = $3,600.
With 100 bidders, the fraction is 99/100, the bid should be $4,000 * (99/100) = $3,960.
The strategy evolves as the number of bidders increases; with more competitors, one should bid closer to the valuation since the winning bid is likely to be higher. Additionally, due to statistical independence and revenue equivalence, the strategy to bid a fraction of valuation also ensures that on average, the revenue the seller obtains from any auction type remains the same.

1. Executive Chalk is financed solely by common stock and has outstanding 25m shares with a market price of $10 per share. It now announces that it intends to issue $160m old debt and to use the proceeds to buy back common stock (from Brealey, Myers, and Allen.) a. How is the market price of the stock affected by the announcement? b. How many shares can the company buy back with the $160m of new debt that it issues? c. What is the market value of the firm (equity plus debt) after the change in capital structure? d. What is the debt ratio (D/E) after the change in structure? e. Who (if anyone) gains or loses?
Answer:
a. $10 per share
b. 16 million shares
c. $250 million
d. 64%
e. No one gain or loss
Explanation:
a. The expected market price of the common stock is same as given in the question i.e $10 per share
b. The buy back shares would be
= New debt value ÷ market price per share
= $160 million ÷ $10
= 16 million shares
c. The market value of the firm would be
= (Outstanding shares - buy back shares) × market price per share + debt value
= (25 million shares - 16 million shares) × $10 + $160 million
= $90 million + $1260 million
= $250 million
d. The debt ratio would be
= Debt value ÷ market value of the firm
= $160 million ÷ 250 million
= 64%
e. No one gain or loss

Which of the following statement is incorrect concerning standard costing and/or variance calculations? A. Price (rate) standards represent the expected cost per unit of input. B. Standards are used at the beginning of the period during to budget and at the end of the period to evaluate performance. C. Variances falling outside of an acceptable range of outcomes do not require investigation. D. A price (rate) variance calculates the difference between what a company paid and what it expected to pay for its production input. E. A favorable quantity (efficiency) variance indicates that a company used less input than allowed for the actual level of output.
Answer:
C. Variances falling outside of an acceptable range of outcomes do not require investigation.
Explanation:
The purpose of any business is to generate profit which is the difference between the revenues and all cost related to business.
In order to define suitable selling price and acceptable cost, all figures are to be set in standard range; any variance outside the standard, even lower or higher, must be investigated then the company can make proper adjustments.
In the end, the right standard is not only achievable but also maximize for the profit set.
So while other statements are true about standard and variance, the statement (C) is totally wrong because it said “Variances falling outside of an acceptable range of outcomes do not require investigation”

Ivorycoast, Inc. purchased a van on January 1, 2017, for $890,000. Estimated life of the van was five years, and its estimated residual value was $98,000. Ivorycoast uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Calculate the book value of the van at the end of 2017.
Answer:
$731,600
Explanation:
For computing the book value, first we have to determine the depreciation expense which is shown below:
So, under the straight-line method, the depreciation expense would be
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($890,000- $98,000) ÷ (5 years)
= ($792,000) ÷ (5 years)
= $158,400
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
Now the book value would be
= Acquired value of an asset - depreciation expense
= $890,000 - $158,400
= $731,600

Another bank is also offering favorable terms, so Rahul decides to take a loan of $18,000 from this bank. He signs the loan contract at 10% compounded daily for three months. Based on a 365-day year, what is the total amount that Rahul owes the bank at the end of the loan's term? (Hint: To calculate the number of days, divide the number of months by 12 and multiply by 365.)
Answer:
The total amount that Rahul owes the bank at the end of the loan's term is $18,455.61
Explanation:
Hi, in order to find the total amount that Rahul will owe the bank in 3 months, we need to use the following formula (this is for a compounded daily rate).
[tex]FutureValue=PresentValue(1+\frac{r}{365} )^{\frac{n*365}{12} }[/tex]
Where:
r = compounded rate (in our case, 10% compounded daily)
n = time in months of the loan
PresentValue = $18,000
Everything should look like this.
[tex]FutureValue=18,000(1+\frac{0.10}{365} )^{\frac{3*365}{12} }[/tex]
[tex]FutureValue=18,000(1+0.000273973 )^{91.25 }=18,455.61[/tex]
So, the total amount that Rahul owes the bank at the end of the loan's term is $18,455.61

While ________ seems to be a reasonable measure of risk when evaluating a large portfolio, the
________ of an individual security does not explain the size of its average return.
A) volatility, volatility
B) the mean return, standard deviation
C) mode, volatility
D) mode, mean return
Answer:
A) volatility, volatility
Explanation:
Volatility refers to the change in returns as measured with the standard deviation with change in trading price series.
When we evaluate a large portfolio with various kinds of securities and investment, the volatility helps the best to access the risk factor present in it.
Whereas the risk can not be measured through the volatility of an individual security, as there will not be major effect of change in prices, on other securities.
As the volatility factor is in correspondence of other factors, as well.
The Dell Corporation borrowed $ 10,000,000 at 5% interest per year, which must be repaid in equal EOY amounts (including both interest and principal) over the next seven years. How much must Dell repay at the end of each year? How much of the total amount repaid is interest?
Answer:
- Dell must repay $1,728,198.18 at the end of each year.
- $2,097,387.29 out of the total repaid amount is interest expense.
Explanation:
- EOY equal repayment calculation:
We apply the present value formula for annuity to calculate the equal repayment amount Dell needs to make in the next 7 years.
Denote C is equal repayment, PV is present value of the loan which is $10 million, i is interest rate which is 5%, n is the number of repayments which is 7.
We have: C = (PV x i) / [ 1 - (1+i)^-n] => C = (10,000,000 x 5%) / ( 1 -1.05^(-7)) = $1,728,198.18.
- Interest expense calculation:
Total repayment made: 1,728,198.18 x 7 = $12,097,387.29.
Total interest expense = Total repayment made - principal amount = 12,097,387.29 - 10,000,000 = $2,097,387.29
In general, it is possible to eliminate ________ risk by holding a large portfolio of assets.
A) unsystematic
B) systematic
C) unsystematic and systematic
D) market specific
Answer:
Letter A is correct. Unsystematic.
Explanation:
Unsystematic risk is that inherent in a specific sector of the market or company. The inherent risks of investing in only one company or industry may include the entry of new competitors, which may cause market loss, regulatory changes, managerial changes, withdrawal from the market and other uncertainties that are not always foreseeable by investors. .
Ideally to avoid this kind of risk is to invest in a diversified equity portfolio.
Sheridan Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 450 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 280 $17 $ 4,760 April 15 purchase 420 20 8,400 April 23 purchase 300 22 6,600 1,000 $19,760 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
Closing inventory - $10,160
Costs of goods sold - $9,600
Explanation:
Under the LIFO Method, the cost of good sold equals to
= April 23 units × cost per unit + Remaining units × cost per unit
= 300 units × $22 + 150 units × $20
= $6,600 + $3,000
= $9,600
Since the firm has sold 450 units, so out of which 300 units sold at a price of $22 and the remaining 150 units sold at a price of $20
The ending inventory equals to
= Remaining units × cost per unit + April 1 × cost per unit
= 270 units × $20 + 280 units × $17
= $5,400 + $4,760
= $10,160
Since on April 23, the 420 units were purchase, out of which 150 units are transferred to the cost of good sold and the remaining units 270 units at $20 is transferred to the ending inventory
Final answer:
Using LIFO, the April cost of goods sold for the Sheridan Company is $9,600, and the ending inventory at April 30 is valued at $10,160.
Explanation:
When using the Last In, First Out (LIFO) inventory valuation method, Sheridan Company will calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS) and ending inventory based on the assumption that the most recently purchased items are sold first. The April cost of goods sold is calculated by adding the cost of the units sold, starting with the most recent purchase, until reaching the total number of units sold (450 units). The April 30 inventory is then determined by subtracting the sold units' cost from the total cost of available inventory.
Let's calculate:
COGS for the 300 units from April 23 purchase: 300 units x $22 = $6,600The remaining 150 units sold come from the April 15 purchase: 150 units x $20 = $3,000Total COGS for April (sum of #1 and #2): $6,600 + $3,000 = $9,600April 30 inventory calculation starts with the total cost of inventory: $19,760Subtract the total COGS from the total cost of inventory for the end of the month inventory: $19,760 - $9,600 = $10,160Thus, the April 30 inventory is $10,160, and the April cost of goods sold is $9,600.
Barbara made a contract to sell a house to Bolton. The agreement stated that it was contingent upon the buyer being able to secure a loan at nine percent interest. The buyer obtained the loan and sought to enforce the contract. Barbara then claimed that the contract was not binding because the contract did not impose an obligation on both parties because of the loan provision. Was the contract binding? Explain your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
A due on sale clause is simply a stipulation in the mortagage agreement that the
"borrower if he wants to sell the property to some other person, first of all he (borrower) shall repay the entire outstanding mortagage amount and then only it is possible to sell the property which is secured under Mortagage agreement.
Hence in essence, the borrower must repay before selling it to some other person which will result in paying the sale proceeds of house to the lender first and the Borrower again has to take loan sometimes from the same lender.
Hence it is imperative that the mortagage obligation cannot be transferred to any other person. That is any subsequent buyer cannot ASSUME the mortagage. Therefore due on sale
Clause prevents assuming of mortagages.

Consider a market of risk averse decision makers, each with a utility function U=√I Each decision maker has an income of $90,000, but faces the possibility of a catastrophic loss of $50,000 in income. Each decision maker can purchase an insurance policy that fully compensates her for her loss. This insurance policy has a cost of $5,900. Suppose each decision maker potentially has a different probability p of experiencing the loss.a. What is the smallest value of p so that a decision maker purchases insurance? Show your work.b. What would happen to this smallest value of p if the insurance company were to raise the insurance premium from $5,900 to $27,500?
Answer:
Please see attachment .
Explanation:
Please see attachment .
Final answer:
The smallest value of probability p for which a decision maker purchases insurance is found by comparing the expected utility of having insurance versus not having it, based on their utility function and the costs involved. The value of p at which insurance becomes beneficial increases as the cost of the premium increases, suggesting that higher premiums make insurance appealing only to those expecting a higher risk of loss.
Explanation:
Considering a market of risk-averse decision makers, where each has a utility function U=√I and faces a risk of catastrophic loss, we aim to find the smallest value of probability p that makes purchasing insurance worthwhile, and how this value changes with an increase in insurance premium.
Let I represent income and p the probability of experiencing the loss. The expected utility without insurance is E[U_without] = pU($40,000) + (1-p)U($90,000). With insurance costing $5,900, the expected utility becomes E[U_with] = U($84,100). A decision maker will purchase insurance if E[U_with] ≥ E[U_without]. This inequality allows us to solve for the minimum p at which buying insurance becomes beneficial.
If the insurance premium increases to $27,500, resulting in a new insured income of $62,500, the decision makers’ willingness to purchase insurance would be affected due to the significantly higher cost. Generally, as the premium increases, the minimum p at which insurance makes sense increases as well, meaning only those with a higher perceived risk of loss would find the insurance worth its cost.
The standard number of hours that should have been worked for the output attained is 8000 direct labor hours and the actual number of direct labor hours worked was 8300. If the direct labor price variance was $4150 unfavorable, and the standard rate of pay was $9 per direct labor hour, what was the actual rate of pay for direct labor?
A. $9.00 per direct labor hourB. $9.50 per direct labor hourC. $8.50 per direct labor hourD. $7.50 per direct labor hour
Answer:
B. $9.50 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Expected labor hours (EL) = 8000
Actual labor hours (AL) = 8300
Labor price variance (LV) = $4150 unfavorable
Standard rate (r) = $9 per hour
The expected labor price (LP) is given by
[tex]ELP = AL*r = 8300*9\\ELP = \$74700[/tex]
Since thre is an unfavorable labor price variance, the actual labor price (ALP) is:
[tex]ALP = ELP + LV\\ALP = 74700+4150\\ALP=78850[/tex]
The actual rate of pay is:
[tex]AR = \frac{ALP}{AL} =\frac{78,850}{8300}\\AR=\$9.50[/tex]
The actual rate of pay for direct labor is $9.50 per direct labor hour.

At the end of its accounting period, December 31, 2017, Personality Shine has assets of $836,000 and liabilities of $201,000. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts:a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2017?b. b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2018, assuming that assets decreased by $159,000 and liabilities decreased by $48,000 during 2018
Answer:
a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2017: $635,000
b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2018: $524,000
Explanation:
Please find the below for detailed explanation and calculations:
We have the Accounting Equation as: Total Asset = Total Liabilities + Total Equity <=> Total Equity = Total Asset - Total Liabilities
Applying the Accounting Equation to find the Stockholder's Equity at the two point of time require, we have the calculation as below:
* December 31, 2017:
Total Asset = $836,000; Total Liabilities = $201,000
=> Total Stockholder's Equity = $836,000 - $201,000 =$635,000
*December 2018:
Total Asset = $836,000 - $159,000 = $677,000; Total Liabilities = $201,000 - $48,000 = $153,000
=> Total Stockholder's equity = $677,000 - $153,000 = $524,000

Torrid Romance Publishers has total receivables of $3,160, which represents 20 days’ sales. Total assets are $73,000. The firm’s operating profit margin is 6.0%. Find the firm's ROA and asset turnover ratio. (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the asset turnover ratio to 2 decimal places. Enter the ROA as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
4.74%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total receivables = $3,160
Day's sales in receivables = 20
Total assets = $73,000
Operating profit margin = 6.0%
Now,
Total sales = Total receivables × [365 ÷ Day's sales in receivables ]
= 3,160 × [ 365 ÷ 20 ]
= $57,670
Assets turnover ratio = Total sales ÷ Total assets
= $57,670 ÷ $73,000
= 0.79
Therefore,
ROA = Assets Turnover ratio × Profit margin
= 0.79 × 6.0%
= 4.74%
The demand for subassembly S is 100 units in week 7. Each unit of S requires 1 unit of T and 2 units of U. Each unit of T requires 1 unit of V, 2 units of W, and 1 unit of X. Finally, each unit of U requires 2 units of Y and 3 units of Z. One firm manufactures all items. It takes 2 weeks to make S, 1 week to make T, 2 weeks to make U, 2 weeks to make V, 3 weeks to make W, 1 week to make X, 2 weeks to make Y, and 1 week to make Z. a) Construct a product structure. Identify all levels, parents, and components. b) Prepare a time-phased product structure. 14.4 Using the information in Problem 14.3, construct a gross material requirements plan. 14.5 Using the information in Problem 14.3, construct a net material requirements plan using the following on-hand inventory. ITEM ON-HAND INVENTORY ITEM ON-HAND INVENTORY S 20 W 30 T 20 X 25 U 40 Y 240 V 30 Z 40
Answer
The answer and procedures of the exercise are attached in the following image.
Explanation
Please consider the data provided by the exercise. If you have any question please write me back. All the exercises are solved in a single sheet with the formulas indications.
The product structure is as follows: Level 0: S, Level 1: T and U, Level 2: V, W, X and Y, Z. The time-phased product structure and materials requirements are established from Week 5 backward. Subtracting the on-hand inventory from the gross requirements yields the net material requirements plan.
Explanation:This question deals with material requirements planning in a manufacturing setting, which uses deep product structures. Let's break down each part of it:
a) Product Structure:
Level 0: S Level 1: T and U (parent is S) Level 2: V, W, X (parent is T) and Y, Z (parent is U)
b) Time-phased Product Structure:
Week 5: Begin production of 100 units of T (for S) and 200 units of U (for S) Week 4: Begin production of 100 units each of V, W, X (for T) and 400 units of Y and 600 units of Z (for U)
14.4) Gross Material Requirements Plan: The S component needs 100 units, the T needs 100 units, U needs 200 units, V needs 100 units, W needs 200 units, X needs 100 units, Y needs 400 units and Z needs 600 units.
14.5) Net Material Requirements Plan: Considering the on-hand inventory, we subtract the on-hand inventory from the gross requirements to get the net requirements. Therefore, S needs 80 units, T needs 80 units, U needs 160 units, V needs 70 units, W needs 170 units, X needs 75 units, Y needs 160 units and Z needs 560 units.

A group of manufacturers of LCD screens for computers and cell phones met together monthly in private conference rooms in hotels to discuss their markets and kept notes with phrases such as "Must act together with the Korean makers in order to reap success," and "Extremely confidential. Must not distribute." The result was that the LCD screen producers were able to command high prices for their products, prices that were non-negotiable. Which of the following statements is correct about their conduct?
a. The manufacturers had engaged in a per se violation of antitrust laws.
b. The manufacturers violated the Sherman Act.
c. The manufacturers violated the Clayton Act.
d. both a and b
e. all of the above
Answer: a. The manufacturers had engaged in a per se violation of antitrust laws.
Explanation: The Sherman and Clayton Acts would apply to US companies. The group of manufacturers of LCD screens were not specified as US companies. But by virtue of the fact of colluding with Korean makers they would have per se been violating the the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act (MRFTA) of Korea.
Horton Industries’ shareholders’ equity included 180 million shares of $1 par common stock and a balance in paid-in capital—excess of par of $1,440 million. Assuming that Horton retires shares it reacquires (restores their status to that of authorized but unissued shares), by what amount will Horton’s total paid-in capital decline if it reacquires 5 million shares at $7.00 per share?
Answer:
$35 million
Explanation:
The computation of the total paid-in capital declined is shown below:
= Number of reacquired shares × per share price
= 5 million shares × $7
= $35 million
We simply multiplied the number of acquired shares with the price of each share so that the correct amount can come.
