Answer:
2.61%
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the operating income
= ROE × assets
= 15/100 × $330,000,000
= 0.15 × $330,000,000
= $49,500,000
Therefore the operating profit margin can be calculated as follows
= operating income/sales
= $49,500,000/190,000,000
= 0.2605 × 100
= 2.61 %
Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.2 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.93 million per year for 6 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.67% and a cost of equity of 11.31%. The debt-equity ratio is 0.62 and the tax rate is 21%. What is the net present value of the project
Answer:
$347,941.73
Explanation:
First, find the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). WACC is the minimum return that a project must offer before it can be accepted. It is thus used to discount the future cash flows of a project to its Present Value.
WACC = Ke × E/V + Kd × D/V
where,
Ke = cost of equity
= 11.31%
E/V = Market Weight of Equity
= (1/1.62 × 100)
= 61.73%
Kd = After tax cost of debt
= 5.67% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 4.48 %
D/V = Market Weight of Debt
= 0.65/1.65 × 100
= 39.40%
Therefore,
WACC = 11.31% × 0.6773 + 4.48 % × 0.3940
= 9.43 %
Next, find the net present value of the project using a financial calculator as follows :
CFj -$8,200,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
i/yr = 9.43 %
Shift NPV = $347,941.73

"What is the allowable MACRS depreciation on Evergreen’s property in the current year if Evergreen does not elect out of bonus depreciation?"
Answer:
the list of assets is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the following:
MACRS depreciation for machinery is 10 years, and the depreciation % for the first year using the half year convention is 10% ⇒ depreciation expense = $70,000 x 10% = $7,000
MACRS depreciation for computer equipment is 5 years, and the depreciation % for the first year using the half year convention is 20% ⇒ depreciation expense = $10,000 x 20% = $2,000
MACRS depreciation for the delivery truck is 5 years, and the depreciation % for the first year using the half year convention is 20% ⇒ depreciation expense = $23,000 x 20% = $4,600
MACRS depreciation for furniture is 7 years, and you can use the mid-quarter convention since furniture represents more than 40% of total assets placed in to service. The depreciation % for the first year, second quarter using the mid-quarter convention is 17.85% (the half year convention depreciation rate is 14.29%) ⇒ depreciation expense = $150,000 x 17.85% = $26,775
total depreciation expense = $40,375
For each of the following, is the business a price-taking producer?
The contract drawings prepared by the architect are generally not specific enough to facilitate accurate fabrication of the materials involved. Therefore, to produce the necessary materials for a project, subcontractors and suppliers must provide ________________________ to amplify/clarify the contract drawings.
Answer:
construction specifications
Explanation:
Construction contracts must always include construction specifications. These specifications refer to what materials, installations and specialized labor is required to perform correctly the building process.
Architects are paid for their blueprints, i.e. their designs. Sometimes an architect can recommend certain materials that fit his/her design, but the contractor is responsible for carrying on the actual construction.
The contractor has to specify which materials will be used and how the construction process will be carried out. E.g. it is not the same to build a house with luxurious materials like expensive floors and ceilings than a normal house.

You are an administrator working for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, a state administrative agency. You are tasked with implementing a new and controversial pollution control rule. The media will be watching closely to ensure all required procedures are followed. Local citizens are requesting that the rule be implemented immediately and without a hearing because, they argue, the need for controls are so acute. A California environmental group is requesting that you consider the impacts of the rule on their state. A manufacturing lobbyist has asked you to decrease relevant pollution standards in the rule by 90%, even though you have significant evidence that current pollution levels are dangerously high. Assuming that Maine administrative law, including the Administrative Procedure Act, is substantially the same as federal law discussed in this chapter, evaluate your responses to these requests in light of rules you need to follow. You want to avoid having your rule held unlawful and set aside by a court.
Answer:
the answer to this question has been well explained. Thank you!
Explanation:
the environmental protection department has to apply the pollution control rule through a good examination of the effect it would have on all stakeholders if it is passed.
local citizens: for this group the best way to respond to their request is by making sure that the rule is applied in a timely manner. they have to be given the assurance that environmental implications would be reduced to the highest possible extent by this rule and that this rule would prove to be effective.
california environmental group: the request of this group is valid and they have to get the assurance that the effect of rule on the state have been studied well enough and that policies to lower environmental effects would be put in place as much as possible.
manufacturing lobbyist: theirs is a critical request. passing the rule would obviously increase necessary pollution standards. to ensure the lobbyist is made awarebof this, administrative agency has to have a meeting with the lobbyist and the person has to be made aware of the new position and current standards that are obtainable to organizations that are in manufacturing, as well the opportunities that are open to them. it is good to do this clearly in other to avoid any future confrontations of any kind.
On December 31, 2020, Reagan Inc. signed a lease with Silver Leasing Co. for some equipment having a seven-year useful life. The lease payments are made by Reagan annually, beginning at signing date. Title does not transfer to the lessee, so the equipment will be returned to the lessor on December 31, 2026. There is no purchase option, and Reagan guarantees a residual value to the lessor on termination of the lease. Reagan's lease amortization schedule appears below:

2025 $74,700 5,825 68,875 28,208
2026 $29,900 1,692 28,208 0
What is the amount of residual value guaranteed by Reagan to the lessor?
Answer: $29,900
Explanation:
Residual value guaranteed is the amount that the lessee promises to pay in the last year including the repayment and the interest payment.
= $28,208 + 1,692
= $29,900

155 million people were working in the US in 2016. If 42% of all people working were baby boomers, how many were working in 2016? If 15% of the baby boomers retire within 10 years, how many jobs will this represent from 2016 employment?
Answer:
65,100,100 baby boomers were working: 6.3 %
Explanation:
In 2016, 155,000,000 people were working.
42 percent were baby boomers,
The actual number of baby boomers were
= 42/100 x 155,000,000
=0.42 x 155,000,000
=65,100,100 baby boomers were working
If 15 percent of baby boomers were to retire in 10 years
The number ow retirees will
=15% of 65,100,100
=15/100 x 65,100,100
=0.15 x 65,100,100
=9, 765,015
As a percentage of the number of people working in 2016
= 9, 765,015/155,000,000 x 100
=0.0630000 x 100
=6.3 %

(FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1. Prepare the appropriate entries for the lessor to record the lease and related payments at its beginning, January 1, 2018.
2. Calculate the effective rate of interest revenue after adjusting the net investment by initial direct costs.
3. Record any entry(s) necessary at December 31, 2018, the fiscal year-end.
Answer:
1) January 1, 2018, asset leased
Dr Lease receivable 550,000
Cr Equipment 550,000
January 1, incremental costs associated with lease transaction
Dr Lease receivable 6,652
Cr Cash 6,652
January 1, 2018, first lease payment collected
Dr Cash 200,000
Cr Lease receivable 200,000
2) to calculate the effective rate we can use the present value of an annuity due formula
PV annuity due factor, 3 periods, ?% = present value of lease receivable / annual payment = $556,652 / $200,000 = 2.78326
Now we must use an annuity due table to determine a possible rate. In this case, the exact rate is 8%.
3) December 31, 2018, interest receivable on lease contract
Dr Interest receivable 28,532
Cr Interest revenue 28,532
interest receivable = ($556,652 / $200,000) x 8% = $28,532

Joker stock has a sustainable growth rate of 10 percent, ROE of 12 percent, and dividends per share of $1.30. If the PE ratio is 17.0, what is the value of a share of stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:value of a share of stock=$132.57
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate = Retention ratio x ROE
= ROE X (1-Payout ratio)
10% = 12% x 1-payout ratio
10%/12%= 1-payout ratio
0.8333= 1-payout ratio
payout ratio= 1- 0.833=0.1667= 16.67%
Dividend payout ratio= dividend per share/Earnings per share
16.67%=$1.30/ earning per share
Earnings per share =1.30/ 16.67%= $7.7984
Value of a share of stock using the P/E ratio
P/E ratio= value of stock / Earning per share
17= value of stock/earning per share
value of stock= 17 x 7.7984= $132.57

If the risk-free rate of return is 6%, and if a risky asset is available with a return of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%, what is the maximum rate of return you can achieve if you are willing to accept a standard deviation of 2%
Answer:
8.01%
Explanation:
If risk-free rate of return is 6%
if a risky asset is available with a return of 9%
If standard deviation of the portfolio is 2%.
Portfolio Return if S.D. is 2% = 0.33*6% + 0.67*9%
Portfolio Return = 0.33*0.06 + 0.67*0.09
Portfolio Return = 0.0198 + 0.0603
Portfolio Return = 0.0801
Portfolio Return = 8.01%
Hence, the he maximum rate of return we can achieve if we are willing to accept a standard deviation of 2% is 8.01%
In the long run, a decrease in the money supply will
decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
decrease the price level.
increase real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
increase the price level.
Answer:
decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Explanation:
GDP represents the total value of a country output. The calculation of GDP using the expensive method is identical to that of the aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is the total of government spending, consumer spending, investment, and net exports. Therefore, GDP and aggregate demand are the same.
A decrease in the money supply leads to firms and households having less money to spend. Reduction in disposable income results in reduced consumer spending, which has adverse effects on aggregate demand. Therefore, reduced money supply results in a decline in consumer spending and reduced aggregate demand, leading to a reduction in a country's output.

A project has annual depreciation of $25,500, costs of $101,900, and sales of $150,500. The applicable tax rate is 34 percent. What is the operating cash flow
Answer:
$48,600
Explanation:
Operating Cash flow is the cash generated from operating/trading activities of a firm. It is very important to include only the cash transactions and ignore any non -cash items.

Determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and in process. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places.)Transferred Out $Ending work in process $
Answer:
1. Materials = 46,180 and Conversion Costs = 39,700
2.Materials = $5.11 and Conversion Costs = $10.66
3.Transferred Out = $614,715 and Ending work in process = $44,467
Explanation:
First, calculate the number of units completed and transferred to finished goods
Number of units completed and transferred to finished goods = Beginning Inventory Units + Units Started during the Period - Ending Inventory Units
Therefore,
Units completed and transferred = 1,880 + 44,300 - 7,200
= 38,980
Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Materials
Ending Work In Process (7,200 × 100%) = 7,200
Completed and Transferred (38,980 × 100%) = 38,980
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 46,180
2. Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (7,200 × 10%) = 720
Completed and Transferred (38,980 × 100%) = 38,980
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 39,700
Calculation of the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
1. Materials
Unit Cost = ($21,900 + $214,080) ÷ 46,180
= $5.11 (2 decimal places)
2. Conversion Costs
Unit Cost = ($37,162 + $127,600 + $258,440 ) ÷ 39,700
= $10.66 (2 decimal places)
3. Total Unit Cost
Total Unit Cost = Materials + Conversion Costs
= $5.11 + $10.66
= $15.77
Calculation of costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and in process.
Transferred Out = Units Completed and Transferred × Total Unit Cost
= 38,980 × $15.77
= $614,715
Ending work in process = Materials Cost + Conversion Costs
= ($5.11 × 7,200) + ($10.66 × 720)
= $44,467
You want your longtime employees to make sure their retirement plans are best suited for their career stages. You think that most employees make wise investment choices when they join the company. However, you find that few employees make adjustments to their retirement plans as they advance in their careers. You are particularly concerned about employees who have worked at the company for more than ten years and haven't updated their retirement packages. Which of the following statements is most likely to persuade longtime employees to attend the presentation about retirement planning?
a. Choose a retirement package that best matches your career stage. At this presentation,we'll tell you how we can help you manage your longevity risk on your retirement package.
b. Choose a retirement package that best matches your career stage. At this presentation,you'll learn how you can make sure you have enough money for as long as you live.
c. Don't miss this opportunity to maximize your retirement income. At this presentation, we'lltell you how we can help you manage your longevity risk on your retirement package.
Answer:
b. Choose a retirement package that best matches your career stage. At this presentation,you'll learn how you can make sure you have enough money for as long as you live.
Explanation:
In the given scenario we are trying to persuade employees to update their retirement plans to meet the changing situation of their careers.
We want to invite them to a meeting where they can learn the benefits of getting a better retirement plan.
The best approach is to send a message that focuses on them and their role in this process. Not the company's role.
Option B exemplifies this by stating they are learning to how to choose a retirement plan that will provide for them for the rest of their lives.
The other two options uses the statement - we'll tell you how to manage your longevity.
This creates an impression that the company wants to impose their point of view on the employees, and this may not get the expected response from employees.
How has the introduction of these markets, technologies and resources affected the lifestyle of the people of Cuba
Answer:
he economy of Cuba is a largely planned economy dominated by state-run enterprises. The government of Cuba owns and operates most industries and most of the labor force is employed by the state. Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the ruling Communist Party of Cuba encouraged the formation of worker co-operatives and self-employment. However, greater private property and free market rights were granted by the 2019 Constitution.[10][11] It has also been acknowledged that foreign market investment in various Cuban economic sectors increased before 2019 as well.[12][13]
As of 2000, public-sector employment was 76% and private-sector employment (mainly composed of self-employment) was 23% - compared to the 1981 ratio of 91% to 8%.[14] Investment is restricted and requires approval by the government. The government sets most prices and rations goods to citizens. In 2016 Cuba ranked 68th out of 182 countries, with a Human Development Index of 0.775, much higher than its GDP per capita rank (95th).[15]As of 2012, the country's public debt comprised 35.3% of GDP, inflation (CDP) was 5.5%, and GDP growth was 3%.[16]
Housing and transportation costs are low. Cubans receive government-subsidized education, healthcare and food subsidies.[17]
The country achieved a more even distribution of income after the Cuban Revolution of 1953–1959,[citation needed] which was followed by an economic embargo by the United States (1960- ). During the Cold War period, the Cuban economy was heavily dependent on subsidies from the Soviet Union, valued at $65 billion in total from 1960 to 1990 (over three times as the entirety of U.S. economic aid to Latin America), an average of $2.17 billion a year.[18] This accounted for anywhere between 10% and 40% of Cuban GDP, depending on the year.[19] While the massive Soviet subsidies did enable Cuba's enormous state budget, they did not lead to a more advanced or sustainable Cuban economy; although described by economists as "a relatively highly developed Latin American export economy" in 1959 and the early 1960s, Cuba's basic economic structure changed very little between then and 1990. Tobacco products such as cigars and cigarettes were the only manufactured products among Cuba's leading exports, and even these were produced by a preindustrial process. The Cuban economy remained inefficient and over-specialized in a few highly subsidized commodities provided by the Soviet bloc countries.[20] Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba's GDP declined by 33% between 1990 and 1993, partially due to the loss of Soviet subsidies[21] and a crash in sugar prices in the early 1990s. It rebounded in the early 2000s due to a combination of marginal liberalization of the economy and heavy subsidies from the friendly government of Venezuela, which provided Cuba with low-cost oil and other subsidies worth up to 12% of Cuban GDP annually.[22] Cuba retains high levels of healthcare and education.[23]

The fact that generally accepted accounting principles allow companies flexibility in choosing between certain allocation methods can make it difficult for a financial analyst to compare periodic performance from firm to firm. Suppose you were a financial analyst trying to compare the performance of two companies. Company A uses the double-declining-balance depreciation method. Company B uses the straight-line method. You have the following information taken from the 12/31/2021 year-end financial statements for Company B:
Income Statement
Depreciation expense $12,500
Balance Sheet
Assets:
Plant and equipment, at cost $125,000
Less: Accumulated depreciation (50,000)
Net $75,000
You also determine that all of the assets constituting the plant and equipment of Company B were acquired at the same time, and that all of the $125,000 represents depreciable assets. Also, all of the depreciable assets have the same useful life and residual values are zero.
Required:
a. In order to compare performance with Company A, estimate what B's depreciation expense would have been for 2021?
b. If Company B decided to switch depreciation methods in 2021 from the straight line to the double-declining-balance method, prepare the 2021 journal entry to record depreciation for the year
Answer:
a. Company B's depreciation expense for 2021 is $12,800
b. Accumulated Depreciation (Dr.) $23,800
Plant and equipment (Cr.) $23,800
Explanation:
The depreciation expense of 2021 will be $12,800. The cost of plant and equipment is $125,000.
Depreciation 2018 : $125,000 * 10% = 12,500 * 2 = $25,000
2019 : $125,000 - $25000 = $100,000 * 10% * 2 = $20,000
2020: $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000 * 10% * 2 = $16,000
2021 : $80,000 - $16,000 = 64,000 * 10% * 2 = $12,800
Due to use, wear and tear, or obsolescence, the monetary worth of an object decreases with time. Depreciation is the term used to describe this reduction.
A.Company B's depreciation expense for 2021 is $12,800
B. Accumulated Depreciation (Dr.) $23,800
Plant and equipment (Cr.) $23,800
Solution:-
The depreciation expense of 2021 will be $12,800. The cost of plant and equipment is $125,000.
Depreciation 2018 : $125,000 * 10% = 12,500 * 2 = $25,000
2019 : $125,000 - $25000 = $100,000 * 10% * 2 = $20,000
2020: $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000 * 10% * 2 = $16,000
2021 : $80,000 - $16,000 = 64,000 * 10% * 2 = $12,800

If annualized interest in the U.S. and France are 9% and 13%, respectively, and the spot value of the French franc is $0.1109, then at what 180-day forward rate will interest rate parity hold
Answer:
0.1130 FF/$
Explanation:
Spot value = 0.1109 FF/$
Interest rate in US for 180 days = 9%*180/365 = 0.044384
Interest rate in France for 180 days = 13%*180/365 = 0.06411
Forward rate = Spot value*(1+Interest rate in US)/(1+Interest rate in France)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1+0.06411)/(1+0.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1.06411/1.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109* 1.018888
Forward rate = 0.1130 FF/$

What are the nominal and effective costs of trade credit under the credit terms of 3/10, net 30? Assume a 365-day year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
Nominal cost of trade credit = [Discount percentage / (100- Discount Percentage) ] * [ 365 Days / (Credit's Outstanding - Discount Period) ]
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/30 - 10
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/20
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.030928 * 18.25
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.564436
Nominal cost of trade credit = 56.44%
Effective cost of trade = (1 + Periodic rate)^n - 1
Periodic rate = 0.03 / 0.97 = 0.3093
Periods/year = 365 / (30-10) = 18.25
Effective cost of trade = (1 + 0.3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = (1 .3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 1.74354232297 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 0.74354232297
Effective cost of trade = 74.35%
Answer:
nominal cost of credit = 56.44% ;EAR = 74.35%
Explanation:
1.nominal cost of credit =
"(discount rate /1 - discount rate )" or part 1
multiply by "365/(days the credit is outstanding -discount days )" or part 2 .Thus ,nominal cost of credit= (0.03/1-0.03 )*(365 /30 -10)= part 1* part 2 = 0.030928*18.25=56.44%
2.EAR =[ (1 - "part 1 ") ^("part 2") ] - 1= [ (1+0.030928)^18.25 ] -1 =1.74348 -1 = 0.74348 or 74.348% or 74.35%
