Answer and Explanation:
Without discounting :
Return on investment(ROI) for year 1 = -$100000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 2 = -$95000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 3 =-$50000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 4 =$10000
With discounting(PV/(1+r)^n):
Return on investment for year 1 = 0.93×-$100000= -$93000
Return on investment for year 2= 0.87×-$95000= -$82650
Return on investment for year 3 = 0.82×-$50000=-$41000
Return on investment for year 4=
0.76×$10000= $7600

The following data pertains to Lam Co.'s manufacturing operations: Inventories 4/1 4/30 Direct Materials $ 18,000 $ 15,000 Work in Process 9,000 6,000 Finished Goods 27,000 36,000 Additional information for the month of April: Direct materials purchased $ 32,000 Direct labor 30,000 Direct labor rate per hour 10.00 Factor overhead incurred 40,000 Overhead is applied at $12 per direct labor hour. For the month of April, conversion cost incurred was:
Answer: $65000
Explanation:
For the month of April, the conversion cost that was incurred would be calculated as:
Beginning inventory of Direct Materials = $18000
Add: Purchase = $32000
Total cost of Direct Materials available = $50000
Less: Ending inventory of Direct Material = $15000
Therefore, Direct material used:
= $50000 - $15000 = $35000
Add: Direct labor = $30000
Conversion cost incurred = $35000 + $30000 = $65000

Emily bought 200 shares of ABC Co. stock for $29.00 per share on 60% margin. Assume she holds the stock for one year and that her interest costs will be $80 over the holding period. Ignoring commissions, what is her percentage return (loss) on invested capital if the stock price went down 10%
Answer:
-19%
Explanation:
Emily 200 shares at $29. So, cost of shares = 200 * $29 = $5,800
Margin is 60%. So, cash investment = $5,800 * 60% = $3,480
Stock price went down by 10%. So selling price of stock = $29 x 90% = $26.10
Sale value of stock = 200 * $26.10
Sale value of stock = $5,220
Gross profit / (Loss) = Sale value - Cost
Gross profit / (Loss) = $5,220 - $5,800
Gross profit / (Loss) = ($580)
Net loss = Gross profit / (loss) - Interest cost
Net loss = (580) - 80
Net loss = ($660)
% of loss on cash investment = (Loss / Investment) * 100
% of loss on cash investment = (-$660/$3,480) x 100
% of loss on cash investment = -18.97%
% of loss on cash investment = -19%
McCanless Co. recently purchased an asset for $2,550,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, 14.81 percent, and 7.41 percent, respectively. What is the amount of depreciation in Year 2

In 2008, Lower Case Productions had cash flows from investing activities of $85,000 and cash flows from financing activities of $93,000. The balance in the firm's cash account was $94,000 at the beginning of 2018 and $72,000 at the end of the year. What was Lower Case's cash flow from operations for 2018
Answer:
-$200,000
Explanation:
The cash balance in the cash account at the end of the year is shown by the formula below:
Cash balance at the end of the year=cash flows from operations+cash flow investing activities+cash flows from financing activities+beginning cash balance
Cash balance at the end of the year=$72,000
cash flows from operations=X
cash flow investing activities=$85,000
cash flows from financing activities= $93,000
beginning cash balance=$94,000
cash flow investing activities+cash flows from financing activities+beginning cash balance=$85,000+$93,000+$94,000=$272,000
$72,000=X+$272,000
The above shows that cash flows from operations is a cash outflow not an inflow
X=$72,000-$272,000=-$200,000

Red October Company has 2,000 shares of 6%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2016. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2016 or 2017. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2017 total:______.
a. $1,200.
b. $12,000.
c. $0.
d. $24,000.
Answer:
d.$24,000
Explanation:
The preferred stock is cumulative, in that preferred stockholders are entitled to arrears of dividends for years in which dividends were not paid let alone declared.
The dividends owed to preferred stockholders were for 2 years , 2016 and 2017, hence, we compute the outstanding preferred stock dividends for the 2 years as follows:
annual preferred stock dividends=number of stocks*par value*dividend rate
number of stocks=2,000
par value=$100
dividend rate=6%
annual preferred stock dividends=2,000*$100*6%
annual preferred stock dividends =$12,000
2 years' dividends=$12,000*2=$24,000

Blue Dog Manufacturing Corp. just reported a net income of $7,000,000, and its current stock price is $23.00 per share. Blue Dog is forecasting an increase of 25% for its net income next year, but it also expects it will have to issue 1,900,000 new shares of stock (raising its shares outstanding from 5,500,000 shares to 7,400,000 shares).
Required:
If Blue Dog’s forecast turns out to be correct and its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio does not change, what does management expect its stock price to be one year from now?
Answer:
$21.41
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price one year from now is as follows:
As we know that
Earnings per share = Earnings after tax ÷ Number of shares
= $7,000,000 ÷ 5,500,000 shares
= $1.27 per share
And,
P/E ratio = Current price per share ÷ Earnings per share
= $23 ÷ $1.27
= 18.11
Next Year:
Earnings after tax is
= $7,000,000 × 1.25
= $8,750,000
Now
Earnings per share = Earnings after tax ÷ Number of shares
= $8,750,000 ÷ 7,400,000 shares
= $1.18 per share
And,
P/E ratio = Current price per share ÷ Earnings per share
18.11 = Current price per share ÷ $1.18
So, the current price per share is
= $1.18 × 18.11
= $21.41

Dawg Town produces dog tags and bowls with the name of your dog permanently etched into a stainless steel label. Indirect etching costs are allocated to tags and bowls based on the amount of time spent on the laser etching machine. The company has budgeted etching costs of $4,224 per month and expects to spend 4,800 hours on the etching labels each month. Each dog tag uses 24 minutes and each bowl uses 6 minutes of laser etching time. How much of the etching costs will be allocated to each dog tag
Answer:
the amount of etching cost that should be allocated to each dog tag is $0.35
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of etching cost that should be allocated to each dog tag is as followS:
= (Budgeted etching cost ÷ (spending hours × 60)) × number of minutes used
= ($4,224 ÷ (4,800 hours × 60)) × 24 minutes
= $0.35
Hence, the amount of etching cost that should be allocated to each dog tag is $0.35

Sorting forms of payments
Q; Sort the forms of payment into the two categories
Answer down below
Have money at time of purchase
- cash
- debit card
- check
Borrow money to make purchase
- credit card
Answer:
Have money at time of purchase.
Cash
For cash to be used to purchase something, the person must already have the required amount of cash in their possession already.
Debit Card.
Debit cards pay for purchases by using funds in the owner's bank account. This means that for a purchase to be processed, the owner must have funds in their account in the first place.
Check
This works much like the debit card above. If one wants to use a check, their bank account needs to have funds at the time of purchase so that the funds can pay for the purchase.
Borrow money to make a purchase
Credit Card
Credit card represent a debt owed to the issuing company that will need to be paid off eventually. This means therefore that whenever you use a credit card to make a purchase, you are borrowing the money used to fund the purchase.

Answer:
$17,400
Explanation:
Equation to be used is as follows: Beginning Prepaid Insurance Expense balance + Cash paid for insurance premium - Ending prepaid insurance balance = Insurance expense
$3,000 + Cash paid - $2,200 = $18,200
$800 + Cash paid = $18,200
Cash paid = $18,200 - $800
Cash paid = $17,400
So, the cash paid for insurance premiums during 2014 was $17,400

Justin Slugger is about to sign a contract with the Columbus Homers. The professional baseball team has given him two options of joining the team with a lumpsum of $20,000,000 or an annuity of $2,500,000 for 15 years. The lumpsum will be paid one year after the signing day if Paul takes the first option. The first annuity will be paid on the signing day if he instead takes the second option. Which is the better option for Paul if an annual interest rate of 10% is utilized for the annuity? Do not consider taxes.
Answer:
Option 1 Present value = $18,181,818.18
Option2 Present value = $20,916,718.64
Option 2 which is an annuity for 15 years is a better option as it has a higher present value than option 1.
Explanation:
To decide the better option, we need to calculate the present value of option 1 which is the lumpsum and the present value of option 2 which is an annuity and compare these values.
The present value of option 1 can be calculated as follows,
Option 1 Present value = Future value / (1 + r)^t
Where,
r is the rate of return of interest or discount ratet is the time in yearsOption 1 Present value = 20,000,000 / (1+0.1)^1
Option 1 Present value = $18,181,818.18
The present value of option 2 can be calculate using the formula of present value of annuity due as the payments will be made at the start of the period. The formula for present value of annuity due is attached.
Option2 Present value = 2,500,000 + 2,500,000 * [(1 - (1+0.1)^-14) / 0.1]
Option2 Present value = $20,916,718.64
Option 2 which is an annuity for 15 years is a better option as it has a higher present value than option 1.

Background information: In 2012, President Obama and Congress debated the issue of taxes and tax cuts.
In this speech, President Obama is discussing the effects of a potential tax increase.
A typical middle-class family of four would see its income taxes go up by $2,200. That's $2,200 out of people's pockets. That means less money for buying groceries, less money for filling prescriptions, less money for buying diapers. . . .
. . . Businesses can't afford it either. . . . Economists predict that if taxes go up on the middle class next year, consumers will spend nearly $200 billion less on things like cars and clothes and furniture - and that obviously means fewer customers. That cuts into business profits.That makes businesses less likely to invest and hire, which means fewer jobs.And that can drag our entire economy down.
—President Barack Obama,

g A company is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.5 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 40%. What is the net present value of the project
Answer:
$345,941
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is given below:
But before that the WACC is
Weight of equity is
= 1 ÷ (1 + 0.62)
= 0.61728
And,
Weight of debt is
= 1 - 0.6173
= 0.38275
Now
WACC is
= 0.61728 × 0.1131 + 0.38275 × 0.0567 × ( 1 - 0.4)
= 0.069814 + 0.013021
= 0.082835 or 8.2835%
Now the net present value is
= All year cash flows × PVIFA factor at 8.2835% for 6 years - initial investment made
= $1,930,000 × 4.583389 - $8,500,000
= $345,941

You have graduated from college but unfortunately have $39,000 in outstanding loans. The loans require payments of $3,435 per year, which covers interest and principal repayment (that is, the loan has the same basic features as a mortgage). If the interest rate is 4 percent, how long will it take you to repay the debt
Answer:
15.44 years
Explanation:
Using both excel rate function and financial calculator, the time taken to repay the debt can be computed thus:
Excel rate function:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
rate= interest rate=4%
pmt=yearly payment=c
pv=loan oustanding=-39000
fv=the balance after all payments should be zero=0
=nper(4%,3435,-39000,0)= 15.44 years
Financial calculate
PMT= 3435
RATE=4
PV=-39000
FV=0
CPT N=15.44 years
This means a payment of $3,435 per year for 15 years and $ 1,511.40 ($3,435*0.44) in the sixteenth year
Industries is calculating its Cost of Goods Manufactured at year-end. The company's accounting records show the following: The Raw Materials Inventory account had a beginning balance of $ 14 comma 000 and an ending balance of $ 16 comma 000 . During the year, the company purchased $ 68 comma 000 of direct materials. Direct labor for the year totaled $ 119 comma 000 , while manufacturing overhead amounted to $ 155 comma 000 . The Work in Process Inventory account had a beginning balance of $ 21 comma 000 and an ending balance of $ 19 comma 000 . Assume that Raw Materials Inventory contains only direct materials. Compute the Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year. (Hint: The first step is to calculate the direct materials used during the year.) "Goodrow"
Answer: $342,000
Explanation:
Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process inventory + Direct materials used + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead - Ending work in process inventory
Direct materials used = Beginning raw materials inventory + purchases of raw materials - ending raw material inventory
= 14,000 + 68,000 - 16,000
= $66,000
Cost of Goods manufactured:
= 21,000 + 66,000 + 119,000 + 155,000 - 19,000
= $342,000
Suppose that you are selling comic books door to door. You purchased all your comic books up front so your costs are currently all sunk. You are currently selling comic books for $3.50 apiece and you sell 25 comic books per day. You know that the elasticity of demand for comic books at your current price is -.6. Is your price too high or too low
Answer: The price can be said to be too low.
Explanation:
Since the elasticity of demand for comic books at the current price is -0.6, then we can say that the price is too low as the demand is inelastic.
An elasticity of demand that is less than one shows that a product has an inelastic demand. This simply means that the change in price would bring about a very little change to the quantity of the comic books that'll be bought.
