Answer:
$18.095417
Explanation:
To obtain the current stock price, bring all paid dividends and the stock selling price to present value at a 10% rate per year:
[tex]P=\frac{(1.00)}{(1+0.10)}+\frac{(1.25)}{(1+0.10)^2}+\frac{(20+1.50)}{(1+0.10)^3}\\P= \$18.095417[/tex]
*Note that for the dividends paid after the first year, only one period was considered, and for the dividends paid after the second year, only two periods were considered.
The stock price is $18.095417
Lake House. Harry has two houses, a house on the lake and a house in town. Rebecca wants to buy the house on the lake. Harry and Rebecca orally agree that Rebecca will buy the house on the lake for $300,000. Harry hurriedly writes out a contract providing that he would sell "his house" to Rebecca for $300,000. Harry signs the top of the document. Rebecca does not sign at all. No merger clause is included in the contract. Harry backs out of the contract, and Rebecca sues him. He tells the judge that the statute of frauds is not satisfied because he did not sign the document at the end and because Rebecca did not sign at all. He also tells the judge that, at any rate, the agreement referred to the house in town, not the house on the lake; and that under the parol evidence rule, he had the right to identify the correct house. Which of the following is true regarding Harry's assertion that the statute of frauds is not satisfied because Rebecca did not sign the document?
1)Is there an enforceable agreement? Which elements of an enforceable agreement exist?
2)Why or why not is there an enforceable agreement? Can Rebecca sue him?
3)Can Harry testify about the $20,000 gift? Why or why not?
Answer:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No
Explanation:
1 . Yes, there is an enforceable agreement between the seller (harry) and the buyer (Rebecca).
Elements of an enforceable agreement that exist between the contracting parties are:
Offer: Harry makes an offer to sell the house on the lake to Rebecca.
Acceptance: Rebecca accepts to buy the house on the lake from Harry for a consideration.
Consideration: Both the parties agree for a consideration i.e. $300,000.
Competency: Both the parties are competent and have capacity to enter into a contract.
Lawful purpose: Agreement between the parties was to transfer the ownership of the property from seller to the buyer. Hence, it is a lawful purpose.
2.Yes, it is an enforceable agreement because even though few essential terms were missing in the written agreement, the seller Rebecca would be allowed to prove her intention under due to the fact that the contract did not include merger clause. The court will look into the evidences or oral negotiations between the parties before entering into the contract.
The following essential elements were missing in the agreement at the time of entering into a contract:
The agreement should contain essential terms of the contract: name of the parties, subject matter, consideration.
Signature of both the parties.
Harry has only mentioned to sell “his house” and did not specify which house. This ‘issue’ can be resolved by parol evidence rule – because the agreement did not contain ‘no merger clause’ the court may allow to look outside the agreement in order to identify the intention of the parties. Therefore, Rebecca, under parol evidence rule, will be allowed by the court to identify the subject matter in case of the ambiguity.
Moreover, only the seller i.e. Harry signed the contract and not both the parties. This issue can be resolved by parol evidence rule. The court will look into the intention of the parties at the time of entering into the contract and hence, can make out that Rebecca wanted to buy the house on the lake.
Rebecca, therefore, can sue Harry.
3 . No, Harry cannot testify about the $25,000 gift because of the operation of the parol evidence rule. According to the parol evidence rule, any oral or written agreement (oral in this case) between the parties will not be taken into consideration that contradicts or varies the written contract.
Hence, Harry cannot testify about the $25,000 housewarming gift.

Purchase price $ 64,000
Sales tax 4,100
Freight charges for shipment of equipment 890
Insurance on the equipment for the first year 1,090
Installation of equipment 2,900
The equipment, including sales tax, was purchased on open account, with payment due in 30 days. The other expenditures listed above were paid in cash.
Required:
Prepare the necessary journal entries to record the above expenditures. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
1) Record the purchase of equipment
2) Record any expenditures not capitalized in the purchase of equipment
Answer:
The Journal entries are as follows:
(1)
Equipment A/c Dr. $71,890
To cash $3,790
To accounts payable $68,100
(To record the purchase of equipment)
Workings:
Equipment value:
= Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges for shipment of equipment + Installation of equipment
= 64,000 +4,100 + 890 + 2,900
= $71,890
Cash Paid:
= Freight charges for shipment of equipment + Installation of equipment
= 890 + 2,900
= $3,790
Accounts payable = Purchase price + Sales tax
= 64,000 +4,100
= $68,100
(2)
Prepaid Insurance A/c Dr. $1,090
To cash A/c $1,090
(To record any expenditures not capitalized in the purchase of equipment)
The company first records the purchase of the equipment by debiting Equipment Account $68,090 and crediting Accounts Payable same amount. Other expenditures such as freight, insurance, and installation costs are separately recorded by debiting their respective expense accounts and crediting Cash account.
Explanation:The necessary journal entries for Oaktree Company to record the expenditures for the purchase and associated costs of equipment are as follows:
Equipment Purchase: Debit Equipment Account $68,090 (which includes both the $64,000 purchase price and $4,100 sales tax). Credit Accounts Payable $68,090. Other expenditures: Debit Freight Charges $890, Debit Equipment Insurance $1,090, Debit Installation Costs $2,900. Credit Cash Account $4,880. These are not capitalized as part of the equipment as they are separate cost incurred due to the equipment purchase but are not part of the machinery's intrinsic value.

Kincaid Company's Retained Earnings balance on January 1 was $9,000. During the current year, Kincaid earned $3,100 in revenues and incurred $4,300 in expenses. Kincaid declared and paid $3,000 in dividends, all in cash. After the closing entries are made, Kincaid's Retained Earnings balance on December 31 will be:
A) $7,800.
B) $9,100.
C) $9,000.
D) $4,800.
Answer:
D) $4,800
Explanation:
Previous Retained Earnings + Revenue - Expenses - Dividends = Current Retained Earnings
Old Retained Earnings - $9,000
Revenue - $3,100
Expenses - ($4,300)
Dividends - ($3,000)
Current Retained Earnings = $4,800
Final answer:
Kincaid's Retained Earnings balance on December 31 will be $4,800 after accounting for the year's net loss and dividends paid.
Explanation:
After the closing entries are made, Kincaid's Retained Earnings balance on December 31 will be calculated based on the beginning balance, plus net income, and minus dividends paid. We start with the beginning balance of retained earnings on January 1, which was $9,000. During the year, Kincaid earned revenues of $3,100 and incurred expenses of $4,300, leaving us with a net loss of $1,200 ($3,100 - $4,300). This net loss will decrease retained earnings. Moreover, Kincaid declared and paid $3,000 in dividends, which will further decrease retained earnings.
To find the ending Retained Earnings balance, we subtract both the net loss and dividends from the beginning balance:
Beginning Retained Earnings: $9,000
Net Loss: -$1,200
Dividends Paid: -$3,000
Ending Retained Earnings: $9,000 - $1,200 - $3,000 = $4,800
Therefore, the answer is D) $4,800.
Total budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year $ 250,000 Actual fixed overhead cost for the year $ 254,000 Budgeted direct labor-hours (denominator level of activity) 25,000 Actual direct labor-hours 27,000 Standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output 26,000 Required: 1. Compute the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year. (Round Fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate to 2 decimal places.) 2. Compute the fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance.). Input all amounts as positive values.)
Answer:
1. $10
2. The fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance is $4,000 unfavorable and $10,000 favorable respectively
Explanation:
1. The computation of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated budgeting fixed manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)
= $250,000 ÷ 25,000 hours
= $10
2. The computation of the fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance is shown below:
Fixed overhead budget variance = Actual fixed overhead cost for the year - Total budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year
= $254,000 - $250,000
= $4,000 unfavorable
Volume variance = (Budgeted direct labor hours - standard direct labor hours) × predetermined overhead rate
= (25,000 hours - 26,000 hours) × $10
= $10,000 favorable

After researching Valero Energy common stock, Sandra Pearson is convinced the stock is overpriced. She contacts her account executive and arranges to sell short 500 shares of Valero Energy. At the time of the sale, a share of common stock had a value of $73. Three months later, Valero Energy is selling for $20 a share, and Sandra instructs her broker to cover her short transaction. Total commissions to buy and sell the stock were $65. What is her profit for this short transaction?
Answer:
$26,435
Explanation:
Given that,
Short shares sold = 500
Share of common stock had a value = $73
Three months later, Valero Energy is selling = $20 a share
Profit for this short transaction:
= Sales - Purchase - Brokerage
= (500 shares × $73) - (500 shares × $20) - $65
= $36,500 - $10,000 - $65
= $26,435
Therefore, her profit for this short transaction is $26,435.

Group of answer choices
A. recommendations
B. limitations section
C. appendixes
D. research methods
E. section data
F. analysis and findings section
Answer:
A. recommendations
Explanation:
One of the most important parts of research reports, business case studies or business plans is the recommendation part.
Research reports are usually made by financial analysts, usually in order to provide an idea for lucrative investment or just to assess a particular financial instrument, stock or currency.
After presenting the summary and conducting proper analyses comes the recommendation section. In this section, strategic solutions and action plans are presented, given that they are the rational output of the needed analyses and prerequisites related to research.
Every recommendation represents an actionable solution that should be implemented or pursued in order to gain some benefits. Here are some recommendations:
- Investment recommendations - Analysts may discover it is extremely lucrative to invest in a particular industry.
- Purchase of particular shares - After proper research, it may be implied that shares of a particular company are stable in the long run, making them appealing for a steady income through dividends.
Kong Inc. reported net income of $298,000 during 2018 and paid dividends of $26,000 on common stock. It also has 10,000 shares of 6%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock outstanding. Common stockholders' equity was $1,200,000 on January 1, 2018, and $1,600,000 on December 31, 2018. The company's return on common stockholders' equity for 2018 is: A. 17.4% B. 17.0% C. 15.1% D. 21.3%
Answer:
B. 17.0%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on common stockholders' equity is shown below:
= (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (Average Common stockholders' equity)
where,
Net income is $298,000
Preference dividend = 10,000 shares × $100 × 6% = $60,000
And, the Average Common stockholders' equity would be
= (Opening Common stockholders' equity + Ending Common stockholders' equity) ÷ 2
= ($1,200,000 + $1,600,000) ÷ 2
= $1,400,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= ($298,000 - $60,000) ÷ ($1,400,000)
= 17%

Accounting Fundamentals of Healthcare ManagementWorking capital techniques focus specifically on what aspects of an organization’s finances?What specific task does a manager undertake when handling working capital issues?What are the three primary reasons an organization holds cash or cash equivalents?What is the accounts receivable cycle? Why is this task especially important for health care organizations?What is the goal of the EOQ? How does it differ from JIT inventory?What are the steps in managing the revenue cycle?Should an organization take a discount of 1.5/10 N/ 30 on a $9,000 invoice or simply pay the bill when due?
Answer:
Check the following calculations
Explanation:
1. Working capital techniques focuses on short term borrowings of an organisation. An organisations meet its working capital needs by borrowing the funds for short term and meet the funds it requires to manage the operational requirements. This is the reason why short term borrowing limits of any organisation is linked directly to the value of its working capital ie., Inventories, receivables etc.,
2. A manager typically focusses on reducing the receivables by improving the collections from overdue debtors and on evaluating whether the inventories are procured optimally or purchased in bulk more than the requirement and negotiates with vendors for increased credit terms. He also works on ensuring that the short term borrowings are represented by the drawing power available from its current assets. If there is any gap, he would work on borrowing long term funds and utilise it to meet the shortfall in working capital with necessary approvals.
3.Accounts receivable cycle represents the no of days between the date of invoicing to a customer to the date of realisation of billed amount from the customer. In health care industry, most of the revenues are settled through insurance claim process. Insurance companies typically delay the settlement stating deficiencies in the documents submitted. This would result in increased ageing of receivables. Unless closely monitored and followed up, the realisation of dues would be a concern in this industry.
4. Goal of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is to minimise the inventory holding costs and the costs of ordering a product by optimally assessing the quantity to order .Here , the key assumption is the demand quantity would be certain and constant throughout the period. Just in Time (JIT) inventory is a manufacturing system which focuses to produce or procure products only when the demand arise. Hence, the focus is mainly on time reduction between the time of order and time of sourcing the material. JIT doesnt assume any static demand.
5. Revenue cycle in a Health care industry represents the difference between the date of admission of a patient and the date of receipt of fees . Steps involved in managing revenue cycle in a health care industry are provided below:
- Developing a robust system to track and monitor the revenue cycle for each patient
- Agreeing on a clear SOP (Standard operating procedure) with Insurance companies in submission and settlement of claims
- Review of revenue cycle by Top management team and raising relevant queries and actionable points to improve the status

$42,500 - $53,700 - $65,700 - Sales
$21,250 - $26,850 - $32,850 - Cost of Goods
$4,675 - $5,907 - $7,227 - Initial Inventory
$22,482 - $28,170 - ------------- Merchandises Purchases
Total Merchandise purchases for the first two quarters :
$50,562 = $22,482 + $28,170
$22,482 = $21,250 - $4,675 + $5,907
$28,170 = $26,850 - $5,907 + $7,227

You purchased 1,000 shares of the New Fund at a price of $23 per share at the beginning of the year. You paid a front-end load of 2.5%. The securities in which the fund invests increase in value by 9% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.3%.
What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year?
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
Front-end load = 2.5%
The cost of 1,000 shares:
= (1,000 × $23) ÷ (1 - 0.025)
= $23,590
NAV at the end of the year = NAV in the beginning × (1 + r - expense ratio)
= $23 × (1 + 0.09 - 0.013)
= $23 × 1.077
= $24.771
Value of 1,000 shares at the end of the year:
= NAV at the end of the year × 1,000 shares
= $24.771 × 1,000
= $24,771
Rate of return:
= (Value of shares at the end ÷ Value of shares in the beginning) - 1
= ($24,771 ÷ $23,590) - 1
= 0.05006 or 5%

The capital structure of the company includes 4040% debt, 1010% preferred stock, and 5050% common stock. It is taxed at a rate of 2121%. a. If the market price of the common stock is $40 and divendends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% per year for the forseeable future, what is the company's cost of retained earnings financing?
b. If underpricing and floatation costs on new shares of common stock amount to $7.00 per share, what is the company's cost of new common stock financing?
c. The company can issue $2.00 dividend preferred stock for a market price of $25.00 per share. Flotation costs would amount to $3.00 per share. What is the cost of perferred stock financing?
d. The company can issue $1,000-par-value, 10% coupon, 5-year bonds that can be sold for $1,200 each. Floatation costs would amount to $25.00 per bond. Use the estimation formula to figure the approximate cost of debt financing.
e. What is the WACC?
Answer:
Check the following calculations
Explanation:
a. Cost of Retained Earnings(Ke) = [Dividend (1+growth)/Market price] + growth Cost of Retained Earnings
=[1.26 (1+0.06)/40] + 0.06
=0.09339
=9.339%
=9.34%
b. Company Cost of New Common Stock
(Ks)=[Dividend (1+growth)/(Market price - floatation costs ] + growth Rate
=[1.26 (1+0.06)/(40-7)]+0.06
=0.10047
=10.047%
=10%
c. Cost of Preferred Stock
Kp=Prefered Dividend/(market price - Flotation cost)
=2/(25-3)
=0.090909
=9.09%
d. cost of debt financing
Kd= [{Coupon +(FV-RV)/T}/(FV+RV)/2] x [1 - 0.40]
=[{100+(1000-1175)/5}/(1000+1175)/2] x [1-0.40]
=[65/1087.5] x 0.60
=0.035862
=3.586%
=3.59%
e. WACC
The maximum investment that Edna Recording Studios can make in new projects before it must issue new common stock
And maintaining the same capital structure
total capital fund before raised
that is out [4,200,000 - 1000,000 x 1.26] / 0.5 =$5,880,000
I WACC for the project that are finance from old fund
WACC= Ke x E/V +Kp x P/V + Kd x D/V
= 9.339 x 0.50 + 9.09 x 0.10 + 3.586 x 0.4
=7.0129% [this wacc is for procets finance from 0 to $5,880,000 FUND]
II WACC for the project that is financed from revised raised fund above $5,880,000. Assuming fund is raised from all the three sources like that maintain same ratio of capital structure means percentage of fund in the capital structure
WACC= Ke x E/V +Kp x P/V + Kd x D/V
= 10.047 x 0.50 + 9.09 x 0.10 + 3.586 x 0.4
=7.3669% [this wacc is for the projects from above $5,880,000]
Kp=Cost of preferred stock
Ke = cost of equity
Kd = cost of debt
D = market value of the firm’s debt
V = E + D+P
E/V = percentage of financing that is equity = 50%
D/V = percentage of financing that is debt=40%
P/V=Percentage of financing that is preferred stock=10%
A call option with an exercise price of $30 and four months to expiration has a price of $4.10. The stock is currently priced at $29.80, and the risk-free rate is 4 percent per year, compounded continuously. What is the price of a put option with the same exercise price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
price is $3.90
Explanation:
given data
exercise price = $30
four months to expiration price = $4.10
stock currently priced = $29.80
risk free rate = 4 % per year
to find out
What is the price of a put option with the same exercise price
solution
we know that put call parity that is express as
S + P = C + E × [tex]e^{-rt}[/tex] ........................1
here S is stock price and P is put price and R is risk free rate and C is call price and t is time to maturity and E is exercise price
so put here all these value in equation 1 we get
P = C + E × [tex]e^{-rt}[/tex] - S
P = 4.10 + 30 × [tex]e^{-0.04*\frac{4}{12}}[/tex] - 29.80
P = 3.90
so price is $3.90
The price of a put option with the same exercise price as the call option is $4.30.
Explanation:To find the price of a put option with the same exercise price as the call option, we can use the put-call parity formula. The put-call parity formula states that the price of a call option plus the present value of the exercise price equals the price of a put option plus the current stock price. We can rearrange this formula to solve for the price of the put option:
Put Price = Call Price + Exercise Price - Stock Price
Substituting the given values, we have:
Put Price = $4.10 + $30 - $29.80 = $4.30
Therefore, the price of a put option with the same exercise price is $4.30.

Assume that you are a common stockholder of Inside Incorporated. If the company needed additional capital, and maintaining your current level of voting control was important, would you prefer to have it issue additional common stock or additional preferred stock
Answer:
Additional Preferred Stock
Explanation:
Preferred Stock always provides a preferential right in terms of distribution of earnings. But in no manner it increases the common equity, or the number of participants in common equity.
Also, there is no voting right attached with the preference shares of a company.
As when new equity will be issued the number of shareholders will increase and also the share percentage held currently will fall.
Accordingly the voting right and voting control will fall.
As investor do not desire the above, the preference share capital shall be issued so that there is no decline in voting share or control of the investor.
As a common stockholder maintaining voting control, you would prefer additional preferred stock issuance as it generally doesn't offer voting rights, hence, your voting control isn't diluted. On the contrary, issuing additional common stock reduces a shareholder's voting control.
Explanation:As a common stockholder, if you want to maintain your current level of voting control in Inside Incorporated, you would prefer the company to issue additional preferred stock and not common stock.
When additional common stock is issued, your percentage share of the voting rights in the company would decrease. Issuing common stock dilutes the existing shares, thereby reducing a shareholder's voting control. However, when Inside Incorporated issues additional preferred stock, it does not dilute your voting control since preferred stockholders usually have no voting rights.
Preferred stockholders have a higher claim on dividends and assets in case of liquidation than common stockholders, but do not participate in the voting process of the company. This means as a common stockholder, your voting rights and control over the company would remain intact even with the issuance of additional preferred stock.

he following information relates to a company’s defined benefit pension plan at December 31:
Accumulated benefit obligation: $1,035,000
Projected benefit obligation: 1,250,000
Prior service cost: 113,000
Net gain on plan assets: 167,000
Plan assets (fair value): 737,000
What amount should the company report as its pension liability at December 31?
Final answer:
The company should report a pension liability of $513,000 at December 31, calculated by subtracting the fair value of the plan assets ($737,000) from the Projected Benefit Obligation ($1,250,000).
Explanation:
To calculate the company's pension liability at December 31, we need to look at the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) and the fair value of the plan assets. The company's PBO is $1,250,000 and the plan assets are valued at $737,000. The pension liability is simply the PBO minus the fair value of plan assets. Therefore, the pension liability equals $1,250,000 - $737,000 = $513,000.
This means the company should report a pension liability of $513,000 at December 31. This is the amount by which the obligations exceed the plan's assets. Note that neither the accumulated benefit obligation, prior service cost, nor the net gain on plan assets affect the calculation of the pension liability.
