Toys "R" Us has decreased its receivable turnover over the last three years: which of the following may be a possible cause of this decrease? A) the company has been more selective in choosing reliable customers. B) salesmen have granted customers an extension of credit terms. C) the accounting department has increased the allowance for doubtful accounts. D) all of the above are correct
Answer:
B) salesmen have granted customers an extension of credit terms.
Explanation:
receivables turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable
A low receivables turnover ratio is usually a bad thing, since most companies sell on credit, i.e. their accounts receivable should be important. A high receivables turnover ratio means that the company is collecting its accounts receivable efficiently and its customers are good payers.
The key point here is average accounts receivable. What can result in a company having very high accounts receivable (compared to its total sales)? The answer is simple, their customers are not paying on time or the company had to extend their credit terms in order to attract more customers.

You would like your child, who was born today, to attend a private university for 4 years beginning at age 18. Tuition is currently $20,000 per year and has increased 5% annually. Your after-tax rate of return is 8%. How much must you save at the end of each year if you would like to make your last payment at the beginning of your child's first year of college?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $5,539.52
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total worth of the 4 years tuition 18 years from now:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Year 1= 20,000*1.05^18= 48,132.39
Year 2= 48,132.39*1.05= 50,539
Year 3= 50,539*1.05= 53,065.95
Year 4= 53,065.95*1.05= 55,719.25
Total FV= $207,456.59
Now, using the following formula we can determine the annual deposit:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (207,456.59*0.08) / [(1.08^18) - 1]
A= $5,539.52

An assumption of CAPM is that investors do not face transaction costs. In particular, CAPM assumes that markets are liquid in the sense that you can always trade any number of shares you would like to any time. In reality, the overall market may become more illiquid in certain times and less illiquid in other times. When the market is illiquid, investors are more hindered from trading by frictions in the market. Suppose that the price of a certain security tends to go up when the overall market becomes more illiquid. Would you expect this security to have a higher or lower expected return than what the CAPM predicts?
Answer: Higher return than CAPM
Explanation:
CAPM assumes that markets are liquid and that there are no transaction costs. This means that when it gives the expected return of a security, it does so without accounting for illiquidity.
If the security is therefore affected by illiquidity such that the price goes up in such a situation, CAPM would not have accounted for this which means that the expected return of the security should be higher than what CAPM predicts to cater for this price increase.

A firm has 72 units of product A on hand. Forecasts of demand are for 10 units per week. A Master Production Schedule (MPS) quantity of 150 units is planned to arrive in period 4. Customer orders are 17 for period 1, 12 for period 2, 8 for period 3, and 4 for period 4.
Required:
What quantity is available for commitment (available to promise) to new customers in weeks 1, 2, and 3?
Answer:
35 units
Explanation:
72 units are on hand:
customer orders for periods 1, 2 and 3 = 17 + 12 + 8 = 37 units
units available for commitment to new customers = 72 - 37 = 35 units
these units can be committed either at week 1, 2, or 3.
Customer orders for period 4 will be covered with the 150 units that should arrive during period 4.

JebCo has a $600,000 mortgage payable. The mortgage has a 4% interest rate. JebCo's monthly payments are $4,546. (Round all answers to the nearest dollar). a. Prepare the journal entry to record the first monthly payment on June 30, 2020? 6/30/2020 b. What is the Principal Balance of the Mortgage after the second monthly payment?
Answer:
a.
6/30/2020
Dr. Interest Expense ______ $2,000
Dr. Mortgage Loan Payable _ $2,546
Cr. Cash ________________ $4,546
b.
The Principal Balance of the mortgage is $594,899.51
Explanation:
As the monthly payment of $4,546 includes the principal and interest payment as well. First we need to determine the interest payment and then the residual value of the payment will be assigned to the principal payment.
a.
First Monthly payment
Interest payment = $600,000 x 4% x 1/12 = $2,000
Pricipal Payment = Monthly payment - Interest payment = $4,546 - $2,000 = $2,546
Balance of mortgage after payment = $600,000 - $2,546 = $597,454
Second Monthly payment
Interest payment = $597,454 x 4% x 1/12 = $1,991.51
Pricipal Payment = Monthly payment - Interest payment = $4,546 - $1,991.51 = $2,554.49
Balance of mortgage after payment = $597,454 - $2,554.49 = $594,899.51
The next dividend payment by Skippy, Inc., will be $2.95 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.8 percent, forever. If the stock currently sells for $53.10 per share, what is the required return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:

R= 2.95 /53.10 + 4.8/100
= 0.0555 + 0.048
= 0.1035 × 100
= 10.35%
Answer:
Explanation:

Explanation:
Seal Polymer Industries sold two freight containers of latex gloves to Med-Express, Inc., a com- pany based in North Carolina. When Med-Express failed to pay the $104,000 owed for the gloves, Seal Polymer sued in an Illinois court and obtained a judgment against Med-Express. Med-Express argued that it did not have minimum contacts with Illinois and therefore the Illinois judgment based on per- sonal jurisdiction was invalid. Med-Express stated that it was incorporated under North Carolina law, had its principal place of business in North Carolina, and therefore had no minimum contacts with Illinois.
Required:
Was this statement alone sufficient to prevent the Illinois judgment from being collected against Med-Express in North Carolina?
Answer:
Seal Polymer Industries (SPI) can sue Med-Express in an Illinois court due to the minimum contacts doctrine. This is an actual court case that the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in favor of SPI. The minimum contacts rule states that in order for a business to be sued in another jurisdiction it must have maintained minimum contacts with residents of that state. Minimum contacts may include making business with individuals or companies that reside in the other state, visiting the other state or incorporating in the other state. In this case, Med-Express made business with SPI, and SPI is a resident of Illinois.

Suppose that instead of paying per hour, a moving company offers a flat rate of $1,200 for movers plus a truck for an eight hour day. If you hired this moving company and used them for the entire eight hours, how much consumer surplus would you gain?
Answer:
the first part of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar one (see attached image):
the cost of hiring a moving crew for 8 hours = $250 per hour x 8 hours = $2,000
the competing company offered you a deal worth $1,200
since you expect to use the moving crew during the whole 8 hours, you will gain = $2,000 - $1,200 = $800 in consumer surplus
Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer (in this case you) are willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service. Consumer should be willing to consumer a good or service as long as the consumer surplus is ≥ 0.
800 dollars of consumer surplus would be earned.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
You must calculate the cost of hiring the team. This will be done with the following calculation:[tex]250*8=2,000[/tex]
In this case, we can consider that the cost of hiring the team for eight hours of work will be [tex]2,000[/tex] dollars.
Then, we can calculate the difference between the team's hiring price and the $1,200 that the competitor offered. This will be done with the following calculation:
[tex]2,000-1,200=800[/tex]
With that, we can say that the consumer surplus is equal to 800 dollars.

According to a survey of American households, the probability that the residents own 2 cars if annual household income is over $50,000 is 80%. Of the households surveyed, 60% had incomes over $50,000 and 70% had 2 cars. The probability that the residents of a household own 2 cars and have an income over $50,000 a year is:________
Answer: 0.48
Explanation:
The probability that the residents of a household own 2 cars and have an income over $50,000 a year can be calculated by;
= Probability that residents own 2 cars if annual household income is over $50,000 * probability of households earning more than $50,000
= P(Two cars I 50,000+) * P(50,000 +)
= 80% * 60%
= 0.48
If the risk-free rate is 6 percent, the return on an average stock is 10 percent, and the beta of a capital budgeting project is 1.50, the project's required rate of return from the project is _____. a. 19% b. 21% c. 24% d. 12% e. 4%
Answer:
r = 0.12 or 12%
Option d is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the market return
We assume that the return on an average stock in the market is the return on market or rM.
r = 0.06 + 1.5 * (0.1 - 0.06)
r = 0.12 or 12%
At the beginning of the year, a company predicts total overhead costs of $916,400. The company applies overhead using machine hours and estimates it will use 1,580 machine hours during the year. What amount of overhead should be applied to Job 65A if that job uses 31 machine hours during January?
Answer: $17980
Explanation:
The amount of overhead that should be applied to Job 65A would be calculated as:
= Overhead cost × (Machine hours in January/Total machine hours)
= 916400 × (31/1580)
= $17980

Why use applied overheads instead of actual overheads
We assign applied overheads to Work-in-Process Inventory. This is because the actuals are usually not readily available to costs the products and determine selling prices. The actuals are available later during the end of the period and using these, we would delay the product costing and pricing seasons.
Explanation:
Required 1
Theses are journal entries. Accumulate the production costs in the Work In Process Inventory Account. When units are completed, the cost from the Work In Process to the Finished Goods Account.
Required 2
This is the overheads Account. On the debit side of this account we record the overheads actually incurred during the production period. On the credit side we record the overheads applied. The balance of this account is either overapplied (debit) or under-applied (credit). In our case, we had an overapplied situation (debit).
Required 3
This is the Work-in-Process Account. Make sure to include the applied overheads instead of actual overheads.

Portfolio variance can be defined as the measurement of risk or dispersion of returns of a set of securities that makes up a portfolio fluctuate over a period of time.
Simply stated, portfolio variance is typically the total returns of the portfolio over a specific period of time.
In order to calculate the portfolio variance, the standard deviations of each security in the portfolio with their respective correlations security pair in the portfolio would be used. Portfolio variance is the square of standard deviation.
A two-asset portfolio with a standard deviation of zero can be formed when the assets have a correlation coefficient equal to negative one (-1) because this defines the efficiency frontier. In Economical portfolio theory, the efficient frontier is a group of optimal portfolios that offers an investor the highest expected return for a specific risk level or offers the lowest risk for a defined level of expected return.
The amount of risk that will remain in a portfolio depends on the degree to which the stocks are exposed to common risks.
A common risk can be defined as a type of risk that affects the entirety of a business firm or company and as such can't be diversified.
Hence, in order to eliminate some of the risk associated with a portfolio, business owners combine stocks in a portfolio and the amount of risk that will remain or eliminated in a portfolio depends on the degree to which the stocks are exposed to common risks.
