Answer:
After E makes this investment, the individual capital balances are:
A = $29,073
B = $87,218
C = $58,145
D = $116,291
E = $82,000
Total = $327,727
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
E's capital contribution = $82,000 for 22%
Total capital after E's admission = $372,727 ($82,000/22%)
Old profits and losses sharing ratio:
A, 10 percent; B, 30 percent; C, 20 percent; and D, 40
New profits and losses sharing ratio and new capital balances
A = 10% of 78% = 7.8% 7.8% of $372,727 = $29,073
B = 30% of 78% = 23.4% 23.4% of $372,727 = $87,218
C = 20% of 78% = 15.6% 15.6% of $372,727 = $58,145
D = 40% of 78% = 31.2% 31.2% of $372,727 = $116,291
E = 22% 22% of $372,727 = $82,000
Total = 100% $327,727
b) The capital of the partnership will total $327,727 while individual partnerships will have their capital accounts adjusted in line with the new profit sharing ratio and capital.
A share trades at a price-to-book ratio of 0.7. An analyst who forecasts an ROCE of 12 percent each year in the future, and sets the required equity return at 10 percent, recommends a hold position. Does his recommendation agree with his forecast
Answer:
It does not agree.
Explanation:
The company expects to earn ROCE higher than the required rate of return. If this is to be achieved, the company must trade at a premium value in the share market. But as the current price-to-book ratio indicated that the market value is lower than the book value, this indicate that it is a Buy position as the share is undervalued. Therefore, it does not agree with the company's recommendation.
Indiana Co. began a construction project in 2018 with a contract price of $161 million to be received when the project is completed in 2020. During 2018, Indiana incurred $33 million of costs and estimates an additional $89 million of costs to complete the project. Indiana recognizes revenue over time and for this project recognizes revenue over time according to the percentage of the project that has been completed. Suppose that, in 2019, Indiana incurred additional costs of $66 million and estimated an additional $53 million in costs to complete the project. Indiana:________
a. Recognized $3.75 million loss on the project in 2022.
b. Recognized $5.25 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
c. Recognized $7.5 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
d. Recognized $1.5 million loss on the project in 2022.
Answer:
Recognized $3.75 million loss on the project in 2017.
Explanation:
Calculation for what Indiana Co. Recognized
First step is to calculate the Percentage of contract is completed in 2019
Percentage of contract is completed in 2019=($33 million+$66 million )/($33 million+$66 million + $53 million)
Percentage of contract is completed in 2019=$96 million/$149 million
Percentage of contract is completed in 2019=0.64429*100
Percentage of contract is completed in 2019=64.43%
Second step is to calculate The estimated gross profit
Estimated gross profit=$161 million-$149 million
Estimated gross profit=$12 million
Fourth step is to calculate gross profit to date
Gross profit to date=64.43%*161=103.7
gross profit to date=33 million / (33 + 89 million) * 161 million
gross profit to date=33 million/122 million* 161 million
gross profit to date=43.54
= $44.01 million in revenue in 2021 (4)
Now let calculate the amount recognized
Lisa Hajak, CFA, specialized in research on real estate companies at Cornerstone Country Bank for the past twenty years. Hajak recently started her own investment research firm, Hajak Investment Advisory. One of her former clients at Cornerstone asks Hajak to update a research report she wrote on a real estate company when she was at Cornerstone. Hajak updates the report, which she had copied to her personal computer without the bank’s knowledge, and replaces references to the bank with her new firm, Hajak Investment Advisory. Hajak also incorporates the conclusions of a real estate study conducted by the Realtors Association that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. She references the Journal as her source in her report. She provides the revised report free of charge along with a cover letter for the bank’s client to become a client of her firm. Concerning the reissued research report, Hajak least likely violated the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct because she: solicited the bank’s client. did not obtain consent to use the bank report. did not cite the actual source of the real estate study.
Answer:
solicited the bank’s client.
Explanation:
In order for Lisa to have committed solicitation and violated Standard VI(a), she must have actively searched for the bank's former client. The text states that a former client of the bank hired her, but it gives no indication that Lisa went after him. Also, Lisa is no longer working for the bank, if any of the bank's clients looks for her, she isn't doing anything wrong.
Pab Corporation decided to establish Sollon Company as a wholly owned subsidiary by transferring some of its existing assets and liabilities to the new entity. In exchange, Sollon issued Pab 30,000 shares of $6 par value common stock. The following information is provided on the assets and accounts payable transferred:
Cost Book Value Fair Value
Cash $44,000 $44,000 $44,000
Inventory 76,000 76,000 76,000
Land 79,000 79,000 109,000
Buildings 175,000 134,000 249,000
Equipment 90,000 76,000 121,000
Accounts Payable 63,000 63,000 63,000
Required:
Prepare the journal entry that Pab recorded for the transfer of assets and accounts payable to Sollon.
Answer:
Debit : Cash $44,000
Debit : Inventory $76,000
Debit : Land $109,000
Debit : Buildings $249,000
Debit : Equipment $121,000
Credit : Accounts Payable $63,000
Credit : Shares (30,000 x $6) $180,000
Credit ; Gain on Bargain Purchase $356,000
Explanation:
Assets and liabilities are acquired at their Fair Value Amounts instead of Cost or Book Value.
A transfer of some of the asset of a Company is referred as a Asset acquisition transaction instead of Business Combination (Acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses).
This is an asset Acquisition Transaction and no consolidated Financial Statements will be prepared.
The excess of Net Assets Acquired over the consideration is called Gain on Bargain Purchase and this amounts to $356,000.
Elliot, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 20,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $10.50 per hour. When activity jumped to 24,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $9.75. On the basis of this information, the company's fixed maintenance costs were:
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
At the activity level of 20,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=20,000* $10.50=$210,000
At the activity level of 24,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=24,000*$9.75=$234,000
variable maintenance cost per hour=(total maintenance costs at higher activity level-total maintenance costs at lower activity level)/(higher activity level-lower activity level)
variable maintenance cost per hour=($234,000-$210,000)/(24000-20000)
variable maintenance cost per unit=$6
Using the higher activity level data:
total cost=fixed cost+(variable maintenance cost per unit*number of hours)
$234,000=fixed cost+($6*24000)
234,000=fixed cost+$144,000
fixed cost=$234,000-$144,000
fixed cost=$90,000
Assume that you have graduated and have gotten a good job. You are conscientious and want to begin a savings account. You are paid monthly and have authorized your bank to automatically withdraw $300 from each paycheck. The bank made the first withdrawal on August 1, 2007 and you instruct them to make the last withdrawal on July 1, 2037. The withdrawals are invested at a nominal interest rate of 10% and compounded monthly. What will be the balance of the account on July 1, 2037
Answer:
The balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.
Explanation:
Since the withdrawals are made the beginning of each month, the relevant formula to use is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Due is employed as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) * (1 + r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value or the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 =?
M = Monthly withdrawal = $300
r = Monthly interest rate = nominal interest rate / 12 = 10% / 12 = 0.10 / 12 = 0.00833333333333333
n = Number of months from August 1, 2007 to July 1, 2037 = 359
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $300 * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^359 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333) * (1 + 0.00833333333333333)
FV = $300 * 2,240.81447087212 * 1.00833333333333333
FV = $677,846.38
Therefore, the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.
A firm with a net income of $30,000 and weighted average actual shares outstanding of 15,000 for the year also had the following two securities outstanding the entire year: (1) 2,000 options to purchase one share of stock for $12 per share. The average share price during the year was $20, (2) cumulative convertible preferred stock with an annual dividend commitment of $4,500. Total common shares issued on conversion are 2,900. Compute diluted EPS for this firm.
Answer:
$1.68
Explanation:
Diluted EPS = Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders ÷ Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights
where,
Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders = $30,000
and
Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights
Weighted average actual shares outstanding = 15,000
Plus Potential voting rights of 2,000 options = 1
Plus Potential voting right of preferred stock = 2,900
Total = 17,901
therefore,
Diluted EPS = $30,000 ÷ 17,901
= $1.68

1. What is consolidated net income for 2011 atributable to Royce's controlling interest?
2. What is the noncontrolling interest's share of the subsidiary's net income for the year ended December 31 2011 and what is the ending balance of the noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary at December 31, 2011?
Answer:
1. Parent Income = Revenue - Expenses
Parent Income = $1260000 - $700000
Parent Income = $560000
Sub-Income = Revenue - Expenses
Sub-Income = 560000 - 420000
Sub-Income = 140000 * 60% ownership
Sub-Income = $84000
Excess Amortization = (140000 / 10) * (60%)
Excess Amortization = $8400
Consolidated Net Income = $560,000 + $84,000 - $8,400
Consolidated Net Income = $635,600
2. Sub-Income = Revenue - Expenses
Sub-Income = 560000 - 420000
Sub-Income = 140000 * 40% ownership
Sub-Income = $56000
Excess Amortization = (140000 / 10) * (40%)
Excess Amortization = $5600
Non Controlling Interest share = 56000 - 5600
Non Controlling Interest share = $50400
Non Controlling Interest at acquisition date = 700000 * 40%
Non Controlling Interest at acquisition date = $280000
Non Controlling Interest during 2015 = $56000
Excess Amortization = $5600
Balance of Interest = $280,000 + $56,000 - $5,600
Balance of Interest = $330,400

As a company manager for Claimstat corporation, there is a 0.40 probability that you will be promoted this year. There is a 0.72 probability that you will get a promotion, a raise, or both. The probability of getting a promotion and a raise is 0.25.
(1) If you get a promotion, what is the probability that you will also get a raise?
(2) Are getting a raise and being promoted independent events? Explain using probabilities.
(3) Are these two events mutually exclusive? Explain using probabilities.
Answer:
(1) If you get a promotion, what is the probability that you will also get a raise?
25% or 0.25
(2) Are getting a raise and being promoted independent events? Explain using probabilities.
yes, they are independent events because you a given one probability for getting a raise (40%) and another one for getting both a raise and a promotion (25%). If they were dependent events, the probability would be the same but they are not.
(3) Are these two events mutually exclusive? Explain using probabilities.
No they are not, again the probability of getting both a raise and a promotion is 25%.
An Argentinian economist pointed out that the inflation rate based on the PCE(personal consumption expenditures) deflator was higher than the inflation rate you calculated in part (b) based on the GDP deflator. Provide two possible explanations for this difference between the inflation rates calculated from the PCE deflatorversus the GDP deflator.
Answer:
Note: The complete question is attached as picture below
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP
2019 100 100
2020 105 99
a) %change in nominal GDP = [(105 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 5%
%change in real GDP = [(99 - 100) / 100] * 100 = -1%
b) GDP deflator is = [Nominal GDP / Real GDP]. %change in GDP deflator = [(106.06 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 6.06%
c) Inflation calculated from GDP deflator and PCE is different because
- GDP deflator does not includes price increase of imported goods while PCE does.
- PCE measures change in price of goods which are generally consumed by consumers while GDP deflator includes all goods produced in an economy.
Derek will deposit $9,359.00 per year for 18.00 years into an account that earns 4.00%, The first deposit is made next year. He has $18,418.00 in his account today. How much will be in the account 49.00 years from today
Answer:
FV= $904,322.05
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit= 9,359
n= 18
i= 0.04
FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04
FV= $240,015.42
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)
FV= $38,803.95
Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37
Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:
FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)
FV= $904,322.05

($40,000/5 years)
a2. Computation of the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.
First step is to calculate the First year Book value
First year Book value=$40,000/5 years
First year Book value=$8,000
Second step is to calculate the Second year Book value
Second year Book value=($40,000+$40,000)/5 years
Second year Book value=$80,000/5 years
Second year Book value=$16,000
Now let compute the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.
Book value at the end of the second year=$8,000+$16,000
Book value at the end of the second year=$24,000
Therefore the Book value at the end of the second year will be $24,000

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest
Answer:
$2,810,467
Explanation:
we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies
first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286
then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value
PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700
PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767
total enterprise value = $2,810,467

Scott wants to accumulate $3,800 over a period of 11 years so that a cash payment can be made for roof maintenance on his summer cottage. To have this amount when it is needed, he will make annual deposits at the end of each year into a savings account that earns 7.0% annual interest per year. How much must each annual deposit be
Answer:
$240.76
Explanation:
The formula to determine the annual deposit is :
p = FV / annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
Annuity factor = (1.07^11 - 1) / 0.07 = 15.783599
p = $3800 / 15.783599 = $240.76
Searls Corporation, a merchandising company, reported the following results for July: Number of units sold 2,700 units Selling price per unit $664 per unit Unit cost of goods sold $405 per unit Variable selling expense per unit $48 per unit Total fixed selling expense $56,500 Variable administrative expense per unit $13 per unit Total fixed administrative expense $118,200 Cost of goods sold is a variable cost in this company. The contribution margin for July is: Group of answer choices $534,600 $699,300 $359,900 $1,453,400
Answer:
$534,600
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Costs
where :
Sales = 2,700 units x $664 = $1,792,800
Variable Costs = Costs of Goods Sold + Variable Selling Costs + Variable Administrative Cots
= 2,700 units x $405 + 2,700 units x $48 + 2,700 units x $13
= $1,258,200
therefore,
Contribution margin = $1,792,800 - $1,258,200 = $534,600

The amount of denim used daily by the Southwest Apparel Company in its manufacturing process to make jeans is normally distributed with an average of 4000 yards of denim and a standard deviation of 600 yards. The lead time required to receive an order of denim from the textile mill is a constant 7 days. Determine the: a. safety stock b. reorder point if the company wants to limit the probability of a stockout and work stoppage to 5% and c. what level of service would a safety stock of 2000 yards provide?
Answer:
a) safety stock is 2611 yards
b) Reorder point is 30611 yards
c) Z = 0.8962 or 89.62%
Explanation:
Given that;
jeans is normally distributed with an average of 4000 yards.
standard deviation is 600 yards
the company wants to limit the probability of a stock out and work stoppage to 5%
so ∝ = 1 - 5% = ( 1 - 5/100) = 0.95
from table; z value = 1.645
lead time = 7 days
now;
a) safety stock
safety stock is determined using the following;
⇒ Z-score × standard × √lead time
so we substitute
safety stock = 1.645 × 600 × √7
= 2611.3565 ≈ 2611 yards
b) reorder point
reorder point is determined using the following;
⇒ demand × lead time + safety stock
we substitute
reorder point = (4000 × 7) + 2611
reorder point = 30611 yards
c) level of service would a safety stock of 2000 yards provide
safety stock = Z√lead time × standard deviation
we substitute
2000 = Z × √7 × 600
Z = 2000 / ( 600 × √7 )
Z = 1.25988 ≈ 1.26
FROM table; Z = 0.8962 or 89.62%
One year ago, you purchased 200 shares of Southern Foods common stock for $7900. Today, you sold your shares for $35.40 a share. During this past year, the stock paid $1.25 in dividends per share. What is your percent return on this investment
Answer:
Return on investment = -0.07215 or -7.215%
Explanation:
The rate of return or percent return on the investment can be calculated by deducting the initial cost of the investment from the current value of the investment and dividing it by the initial cost.
The return provided by the investment can be calculated by adding the returns provided in form of dividend and capital gains both. Thus, the return can be calculated as follows,
Total dividend = 1.25 * 200 = $250
Total selling value = 35.4 * 200 = $7080
Total value = 250 + 7080 = $7330
Return on investment = (7330 - 7900) / 7900 = -0.07215 or -7.215%
Explain how, if at all, each of the following transactions generates two entries (a credit and a debit) in the American balance of payments accounts, and describe how each entry would be classified in any of current, financial or capital account: (a) A U.S. resident buys shares of a Portuguese company paying via wire transfer from her Wells Fargo account to a Portuguese bank. (b) An Australian tourist rents a car in the U.S. and pays with her Australian credit card. (c) A U.S.-owned factory in Britain uses local earnings (i.e., in Britain) to buy additional equipment from a Britain firm.
Answer:
(a) A U.S. resident buys shares of a Portuguese company paying via wire transfer from her Wells Fargo account to a Portuguese bank.
The US financial account is debited since the stocks were paid by a transfer from Wells Fargo bank.
The credit happens when the Portuguese bank lends the to a Portuguese company that imports goods from America.
(b) An Australian tourist rents a car in the U.S. and pays with her Australian credit card.
The payment received from the Australian tourist represents a credit in the US financial account.
The debit occurs when an American bank receiving the money from the Australian bank will then lend the money to an American company that imports goods.
(c) A U.S.-owned factory in Britain uses local earnings (i.e., in Britain) to buy additional equipment from a Britain firm.
This transaction doesn't affect the US financial account since the money was originated and spent in Britain.
Eager, a tipped employee, reported to his employer that he had received $320 in tips during March. On the next payday, April 4, he was paid his regular salary of $250.
a) The amount of OASDI taxes to withhold from Eager's pay is __________.
b) The amount of HI taxes to withhold from Eager's pay is __________.
Answer:
A. $35.34
B. $8.27
Explanation:
A. Calculation for The amount of OASDI taxes to withhold from Eager's pay
OASDI taxes to withhold =(320 + 250)*6.2%
OASDI taxes to withhold = $570 × 6.2%
OASDI taxes to withhold = $35.34
The amount of OASDI taxes to withhold from Eager's pay is $35.34
B. Calculation for amount of HI taxes to withhold from Eager's pay
HI taxes to withhold=(320 + 250)*1.45%
HI taxes to withhold =$570*1.45%
HI taxes to withhold= $8.27
Therefore The amount of HI taxes to withhold from Eager's pay is $8.27
Assume that an economy produces only two goods, pizza and wings, and that it is producing on its production possibilities frontier (PPF). If the economy can only produce two goods, which of the following ways would allow the economy to produce even more pizza?
a. growth in labor force.
b. improved wing making technology.
c. improved pizza-making technology.
d. some workers move to a country that produces only pizza.
e. more efficient use of existing production assets.
Answer:
Growth in labor force
Improved pizza-making technology
Explanation:
Production possibilities frontier (PPF) is the various ways or possible ways (combination) whereby two goods that can be produced in a certain period of time under the conditions of a given state of technology and well equipped resources. Productive efficiency of a goods is the condition where the maximum output is produced with the already laid down resources and technology available. It is said to be a curve that depicts the maximum quantity of one good that can be produced for each maximum number or quantity of another good produced.

Company A is a manufacturer with sales of $6,000,000 and a 60% contribution margin. Its fixed costs equal $2,600,000. Company B is a consulting firm with service revenues of $4,500,000 and a 25% contribution margin. Its fixed costs equal $375,000. Compute the degree of operating leverage (DOL) for each company. Which company benefits more from a 20% increase in sales
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Company A
Degree of operating leverage is computed as
= Contribution margin / Net income
Net income = Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= 60% × $6,000,000 - $2,600,000
= $3,600,000 - $2,600,000
= $1,000,000
Degree of operating leverage = $3,600,000 /$1,000,000
= 3.6
Company B
Degree of operating leverage is computed as
= Contribution margin / Net income
Net income = Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= 25% × $4,500,000 - $375,000
= $1,125,000 - $375,000
= $750,000
Degree of operating leverage = $4,500,000 / $750,000
= 6
• 20% increase in sales company A
Sales = 20% × $6,000,000 + $6,000,000 = $7,200,000
Net income = 60% × $7,200,000 - $2,600,000 = $1,720,000
Degree of operating leverage = $4,320,000 / $1,720,000 = 2.5
• 20% increase in sales company B
Sales = 20% × $4,500,000 + $4,500,000 = $5,400,000
Net income = 25% × $5,400,000 - $375,000 = $975,000
Degree of operating leverage = $1,350,000 /$975,000 = 1.38
With regards to the above, company A tends to gain more from the sales increase because its operating leverage of 2.5 is more than that of company B, whose operating leverage is 1.38
