Florida Seaside Oil Exploration Company is deciding whether to drill for oil off the northeast coast of Florida. The company estimates that the project would cost $4.24 million today. The firm estimates that once drilled, the oil will generate positive cash flows of $2.12 million a year at the end of each of the next four years. While the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, it recognizes that if it waits two years, it would have more information about the local geology as well as the price of oil. Florida Seaside estimates that if it waits two years, the project would cost $4.59 million. Moreover, if it waits two years, there is a 85% chance that the cash flows would be $2.306 million a year for four years, and there is a 15% chance that the cash flows will be $0.705 million a year for four years. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at a 8% WACC. Will the company delay the project and wait until they have more information
Answer:
The company will invest now and not delay
Explanation:
In order to determine the better option, we have to determine the Net present value of each of the option.
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
The option with the higher NPV would be chosen
First option
Cash flow in year 0 = $-4.24 million
Cash flow in year 1 = $2.12 million
Cash flow in year 2 = $2.12 million
Cash flow in year 3 = $2.12 million
Cash flow in year 4 = $2.12 million
I = 8%
NPV = 2.78 million
Second option
NPV of the cash flow with $2.306 million a year for four years
Cash flow in year 0 = 0
Cash flow in year 1 = 0
Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.
Cash flow in year 3 = $2.306
Cash flow in year 4 = $2.306 million
Cash flow in year 5 = $2.306 million
Cash flow in year 6 = $2.306 million
I = 8
NPV = $2.61 million
NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 0 = 0
Cash flow in year 1 = 0
Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.
Cash flow in year 3 = $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 4 = $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 5 = $0.705 million
Cash flow in year 6 = $0.705 million
I = 8 %
NPV = -1.93 million
NPV of the second option = (0.85 x $2.61 million) + (0.15 x 0) = $2.22 million
The NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million is zero because the NPV is negative and thus would not be undertaken.
The company will invest now and not delay because the NPV of not waiting is greater than the NPV of delaying
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Marigold Corp. issued at a premium of $10500 a $192000 bond issue convertible into 4700 shares of common stock (par value $20). At the time of the conversion, the unamortized premium is $4000, the market value of the bonds is $212000, and the stock is quoted on the market at $60 per share. If the bonds are converted into common, what is the amount of paid-in capital in excess of par to be recorded on the conversion of the bonds
Answer: $102000
Explanation:
The following can be deduced fkem the question:
Face value of bonds = $192000
Unamortized Premium = $4000
Conversion of Equity Shares = 4700 x $20 = $94000
Paid in Capital in Excess of Par = $192000 + $4000 - $94000
= $102000
Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________
a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.
Answer:
a. 20250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]
Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750
Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.
Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250
Budget philosophies There are several important philosophies regarding budget balances. One way in which they differ is in terms of the time span over which the budget should be balanced. Another difference among budget philosophies involves whether the budget balance is as important as other economic goals. Which of the following budget philosophies advocates keeping the budget in balance every year, except during wartime?
Functional finance
Annually balanced budget
Cyclically balanced budget
A major problem with the implementation of this philosophy is that it:________
Magnifies business cycle fluctuations
Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits
Relies upon government officials to budget for surpluses during boom times in order to cover deficits during recessions
Answer:
functional finance
Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits
Explanation:
Functional finance is a theory developed by Abba P. Lerne during the World War II. It encourages the government's intervention in the economy to achieve its goals and reduce economic insecurity. It is the current budget philosophy in the US
Advantage
It allows the government to stabilise the economy using fiscal policy
Disadvantage
it encourages deficit spending and this can increase the debt of a country
Annually balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure. this type of budget can magnify the business cycle.
A Cyclically balanced budget is when in a recession, the government makes use of expansionary fiscal policy and in a boom, the government makes use of a contractionary fiscal policy to stabilise the economy

Identify the type of bond based on each description given below:
a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral.
c. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates.
Answer:
a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy. SENIOR MORTGAGE BONDS.
A senior mortgage bond is one whose collateral is one or more properties. Mortgage bonds generally have priority over other types of bonds and a senior mortgage bond has priority over other mortgage bonds.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company. DEBENTURES
Debentures have no physical collateral backing them and are only back by the reputation of the company. This therefore makes them a bit high risk and so their rates are higher.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES.
Debentures have higher than normal rates so subordinated debentures will be quite risky. They command the highest rates as a result because in the event of a default, their claim on assets is last.

Ahnberg Corporation had 580,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at January 1. No common shares were issued during the year, but on January 1, Ahnberg issued 200,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. The preferred shares are convertible into 400,000 shares of common stock. During the year Ahnberg paid $120,000 cash dividends on the preferred stock. Net income was $1,222,000.
Required:
What were Ahnberg's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year?
Answer:
basic earnings per share = $1.90
diluted earnings per share = $1.25
Explanation:
Basic Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding.
where,
Earnings attributable to holders of Common Stock = $1,222,000 - $120,000 = $1,102,000
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding = 580,000 shares
therefore,
Basic Earnings per share = $1.90
Diluted Earnings per share = Adjusted Earnings attributable to holders of Common Stock ÷ Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding.
where,
Adjusted Earnings attributable to holders of Common Stock = $1,222,000
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding = 580,000 + 400,000 = 980,000 shares
therefore,
Diluted Earnings per share = $1.25
The Baldwin Company has just purchased $40,900,000 of plant and equipment that has an estimated useful life of 15 years. Suppose at the end of 15 years this plant and equipment can be salvaged for $4,090,000 (1/10th of its original cost). What will be the book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use
Answer:
$38,446,000
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period the asset is in used in the business
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
therefore,
Depreciation expense = $2,454,000
Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
therefore for first year,
Book Value = $40,900,000 - $2,454,000 = $38,446,000
Conclusion
The book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use is $38,446,000
Miller, Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $400 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100,000 shares of $4 par value common stock outstanding. There were no dividends declared in 2015. The board of directors declared and paid dividends of $200,000 each in 2016 and 2017. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
First step is to calculate the preferred stock
Preferred stock=(5,000 shares*$400)*6%
Preferred stock=$2,000,000*6%
Preferred stock=$120,000
Now let calculate the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
Dividend Received=($200,000-$120,000)/2
Dividend Received=$80,000/2
Dividend Received=$40,000
Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017 will be$40,000

Answer:
Inflation causes menu costs.
In some countries with hyperinflation, prices are posted in terms of U.S. dollars rather than the local currency, even though the local currency is still used to purchase the good.
Explanation:
The inflation that cause menu cost and the hyperinflation would be treated as a unit of account because for menu cost, the seller have to change the cost because of changing in the price
On the other hand, because of the difference in the currencies, inflation would create a problem for measuring the currency units
And, the left one would be represent the store of value as the value of the money would be decrease when the inflation rate is increased

Sunrise, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $245,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $19,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 25 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 40 percent lower. The company is considering a $58,800 debt issue with an interest rate of 8 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. Assume the stock price is constant under all scenarios.
Required:
a. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.
b. Repeat part (a) assuming that the company goes through with recapitalization. What do you observe?
Answer:
Sunrise, Inc.
a. Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios before debt is issued:
Scenarios EBIT EPS Percentage Changes
Normal $19,000 $3.80 ($19,000/5,000)
Expansion $23,750 $4.75 ($23,750/5,000) 25% ($0.95/$3.80 * 100)
Recession $11,400 $2.28 ($11,400/5,000) 40% ($1.52/$3.80 * 100)
b. After capitalization, Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios:
Repurchase of stock = $58,800/$49 = 1,200 shares
Outstanding shares = 3,800 (5,000 - 1,200)
Interest expense = $4,700 approx.
Net Income (taxes ignored) = $14,300
Scenarios Net income
Normal $14,300 ($19,000 - $4,700 Interest)
Strong Expansion $17,875 ($14,300 * 1.25)
Recession $8,580 ($14,300 * 0.60)
Scenarios Net income EPS Percentage Changes
Normal $14,300 $3.76 ($14,300/3,800)
Expansion $17,875 $4.70 ($17,875/3,800) 25% ($0.94/$3.76 * 100)
Recession $8,580 $2.25 ($8,580/3,800) 40% ($1.51/$3.76 * 100)
Observation:
The EPS changed under each scenario when the debt was issued, but the percentage changes remained similar to the changes before the debt issue. This can be attributed to the change in the outstanding shares from 5,000 to 3,800. With the debt issue, the EBIT is not used in the calculations but the income after taxes.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total market value = $245,000
Outstanding shares = 5,000
Market price per share = $49 ($245,000/5,000)
EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes) = $19,000 (normal economic condition)
Scenarios EBIT
Normal $19,000
Strong Expansion $23,750 ($19,000 * 1.25)
Recession $11,400 ($19,000 * 0.60)
Debit issue = $58,800
Interest rate of debt = 8%

The exception is a negative output gap and low inflation. high inflation and a large positive output gap. a large positive output gap. high inflation.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. As a result of the increase in real interest rates, consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports will all (decrease).
When there is a rise in the interest rate, the coat if borrowing will increase as well, therefore, this will lead to the reduction in investment and consumption and there's also a reduction in the net exports.
b. With the increase in real interest rates, output will (decrease), inflation will (decrease) and unemployment will .(increase).
When the real interest rate increase, the output will reduce as well as inflation since there'll be reduction in demand for goods and services and hence unemployment rises.
c. The situation that can lead the FOMC to consider increasing rates include
• high inflation and a large positive output gap.
• a large positive output gap.
• high inflation
Therefore, the exception will be a negative output gap and low inflation.
Knight forward, a division of King Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Knight forward division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $14,000 per year
Required:
What is the division’s ROI?
Answer:
20% and no
Explanation:
The computation of the return on the investment is shown below:
= Net operating income ÷ average operating assets
= $60,000 ÷ $300,000
= 20%
Now based on the investment and extra net operating income
The return on the investment is
= Net operating income ÷ average operating assets
= ($60,000 + $14,000) ÷ ($300,000 - $100,000)
= $74,000÷ $400,000
= 18.5%
Since this ROI would be less than the above ROI so the investment should not be made

Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stockFirst we need to calculate the investment of each stock,
Abbott = 200 * 50 = $10000
Lowes = 200 * 30 = $6000
Ball = 100 * 40 = $4000
Portfolio return = (10000 / 20000) * -0.10 + (6000/20000) * 0.20 +
(4000/20000) * 0.125
Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%
Leaders at ElectroExpo Inc. want to develop a results-oriented organizational culture. To do this, they devise a new system to maintain project logs in order to record any lags in project execution. They also encourage their employees to work on every alternate Saturday of a month in order to increase productivity in exchange for additional compensation. However, the leaders face stiff resistance from the employees because they are not comfortable with this change. In this case, which of the following steps should the leaders take?
a. The leaders should take legal actions against the employees who oppose the change or who instigate other employees to resist the change.
b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
c. The leaders should promise to fulfill all the demands of the employees and empower them to make important business decisions.
d. The leaders should lay off the employees who are resisting the changes in the organization.
Answer: b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed
Explanation:
With regards to the information given in the question, the best option will be for the leaders to find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
In every organization, communication is key between the management and the employees. In this case, the leaders should inform the employees about the reason that they are taking the decision and how the decision will have an impact on the organization.
Taking legal steps against the employees or laying them off isn't the right thing to do. The employees should be made to see the value in the changes to be made.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Misterio Company uses a standard costing system. During the past quarter, the following variances were computed:
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 24,000 U
Direct labor efficiency variance 120,000 U
Direct labor rate variance 10,400 U
Misterio applies variable overhead using a standard rate of $2 per direct labor hour allowed. Two direct labor hours are allowed per unit produced. (Only one type of product is manufactured.) During the quarter, Misterio used 30 percent more direct labor hours than should have been used.
Required:
1. What were the actual direct labor hours worked? The total hours allowed?
2. What is the standard hourly rate for direct labor? The actual hourly rate?
3. How many actual units were produced?
Answer:
1. Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.
2. Standard hourly rate = $10
Actual rate = $10.2
3. Actual output= 20,000 units
Explanation:
The variable overhead efficiency variance in hours= variable overhead efficiency variance in Dollar/Variable overhead standard rate
= $24,000/$2= 12,000 hours unfavorable
Let the actual hours be V
Let the standard hours for the actual output achieved be = V
The actual hours worked = 130% of the standard hours allowed
Actual hours =130% × V = 1.3V
1.3V - V= 12,000
V=12000/0.3=40,000
Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual labour hours= 130%× 40,000=52,000
Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.
Standard labour rate =
Labour effciency variance in Dollar /Labour efficiency variance in hours
= 120,000/12,000=$10
Standard hourly rate = $10
Rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate)× Actual hours
Let the actual rate be = Y
10,400 = ( Y - 10) × 52,000
10,400= 52000Y- 520,000
Y= (520,000 + 10,400)/52,000=10.2
Actual rate = $10.2
Standard labour hours for actual output = Actual output × standard hours
Let the actual output be = m
40,000 = m × 2
m= 40,000/2= 20,000 units
Actual output= 20,000 units
During a time of inflation, what happens to the value of the dollar?
Answer:
The impact inflation has on the time value of money is that it decreases the value of a dollar over time. ... Inflation increases the price of goods and services over time, effectively decreasing the number of goods and services you can buy with a dollar in the future as opposed to a dollar today.

In 2020 Ryce contributes non depreciable property with an adjusted basis of $101,600 and a fair market value of $152,400 to the Montgomery Partnership in exchange for a one-half interest in profits and capital. In the next tax year, when the property's fair market value is $162,560, the partnership distributes the property to Jarvis, the other one-half partner. Jarvis's basis in the partnership interest was $162,560 immediately before the distribution. Which partner must recognize the built-in gain, what is the amount recognized, and what is the effect on that partner's basis in the partnership interest
Answer:
A. Ryce
B.$50,800
C. Increase
Explanation:
Based on the information given the partner that must recognize the builtin gain is RYCE
B. Calculation to determine the amount recognized
Using this formula
Amount recognized=Fair market value-Adjusted basis
Let plug in the formula
Amount recognized=$152,400-$101,600
Amount recognized=$50,800
Therefore the amount recognized is $50,800
C. Based on the information given the effect on that partner's basis in the partnership interest is that the basis amount in the partnership interest would be INCREASED by the amount of gain that was recognized or Realized.
