Answer:
A. $880
B. -$752.23
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the conversion value of the issue
First step is to calculate the Conversion ratio using this formula
Conversion ratio=Per value of security/ Conversion price
Let plug in the formula
Conversion ratio=$1,000/$25
Conversion ratio=40
Now let determine the Conversion value using this formula
Conversion value =Conversion ratio*Conversion price
Let plug in the formula
Conversion value=40*$22 per share
Conversion value=$880
Therefore the conversion value of the issue is $880
B. Calculation to determine the Straight bond value of the issue
Using financial calculator to the Present Value (PV)
PMT=8%*1,000=80
N=12 years
1/Y=12%
FV=1,000
PV=-$752.23
Therefore the Straight bond value of the issue is -$752.23
As a result of a decrease in the demand for U.S. dollars, there has been depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to Macedonian dinars. The depreciation in the U.S. dollar has benefitted some groups but harmed others. Indicate which of the groups are winners and which are losers from the standpoint of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
a. A. Todd, American, to visit Macedonia spring brew
b. An investment bank in Macedonia that is interested in purchasing U.S.
c. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires Macedonia
d. A family from Macedonia visiting relatives in the U.S
e. A firm from Macedonia selling in the US.
f. U .S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is a tech purchasing a high tech company in Macedonia
Answer:
A. Todd, American, to visit Macedonia spring brew
Explanation:
Todd is a loser due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar because now he will need more dollars to buy a comparative amount of South Korea won. His trip will now be more expensive.
An investment bank in South Korea, interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds - winner
The investment bank will exchange fewer wons for U.S. dollars than before. Buying government bonds will now be cheaper for them.
Goodyear, a firm based in the United States, sells car tires in South Korea - winner
Goodyear will likely sell more cars because for its South Korean customers, the cars are now cheaper since the value of the dollar has depreciated against the currency that they hold.
A family from South Korea visits relatives in the United States - winner
The South Korean family will exchange fewer wons for more U.S. dollars, making their trip cheaper.
A firm from South Korea sells handbags in the United States - loser
The handbags will now be more expensive for their American customers, likely causing a loss in sales revenue for the firm.
An electronics manufacturer in the United States, purchases a high tech company in South Korea - loser
The cost of the high-tech South Korean company is now higher for the American manufacturer because more dollars had to be exchanged for wons before the purchase.

Leakages and injections Suppose the economy is initially in equilibrium, when a decrease in decreases total leakages out of the economy. Which of the following will occur as a result of this change? Suppose the economy is initially in equilibrium, when a decrease in decreases total leakages out of the economy. Which of the following will occur as a result of this change? Check all that apply. GDP rises above planned spending. Firms experience an increase in unplanned inventory. There is a proportionate decrease in investment. Real GDP falls. Injections and leakages are equal to each other .
Answer:
Suppose the economy is initially in equilibrium, when a decrease in Savings decreases total leakages out of the economy.
Savings are considered leakages in the economy because the represent money that is not spent but rather saved.
Which of the following will occur as a result of this change?
GDP rises above planned spending.
Savings reduces spending but as savings have reduced, there will be more spending which is unplanned and so this increase in unplanned spending will make GDP higher than planned spending.
Injections and leakages are equal to each other when real GDP is equal to aggregate expenditure.
Injections and leakages are equal when the output (GDP) and the Aggregate expenditure are the same.

Let T1 be the time between a car accident and reporting a claim to the insurance company. Let T2 be the time between the report of the claim and payment of the claim. The joint density function of T1 and T2, f(t1, t2), is constant over the region 0 < t1 < 6, 0 < t2 < 6, t1 t2 < 10, and zero otherwise. Determine E[T1 T2], the expected time between a car accident and payment of the claim.
Answer:
5.7255
Explanation:
From the given information:
[tex]T_1 \to \text{time between car accident \& reporting claim} \\ \\ T_2 \to \text{time between reporting claim and payment of claim}[/tex]
The joint density function of [tex]T_1[/tex] and [tex]T_2[/tex] is:
[tex]f(t_1,t_2) = \left \{ {{c \ \ \ 0<t_1<6, \ \ \ 0<t_2<6, \ \ \ t_1+t_2<10} \atop {0} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ otherwise} \right.[/tex]
Area(A): [tex]= 6\times 6 - \dfrac{1}{2}*2*2[/tex]
= 34
The limits are:
[tex]\text{limits of } \ t_1 \ from \ 0 \ is \ 10 \to t_2 \\ \\ \text{limits of } \ t_2 \ from \ 0 \ is \ 4 \to 6[/tex]
Also;
[tex]\text{limits of } \ t_1 \ is \ 0 \to 6 \\ \\ \text{limits of } \ t_2 \ is \ 0 \to 4[/tex]
∴
[tex]\iint f(t_1,t_2) dt_1dt_2 =1 \\ \\ c \iint 1dt_1dt_2 = 1 \\ \\ cA = 1 \\ \\ \implies c = \dfrac{1}{34}[/tex]
To find;
[tex]E(T_1+T_2) = \iint (t_1+t_2)c \ \ dt_1dt_2 \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{34} \Big[\int \limits^4_0 \int \limits^6_0(t_1+t_2) dt_1 \ dt_2 + \int \limits^6_4 \int \limits^{10-t_2}_0(t_1+t_2) dt_1 dt_2 \Big] \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{34} (120 + \dfrac{224}{3}) \\ \\ = \mathbf{5.7255}[/tex]

Answer:
All of the following are organization-directed benefits associated with offering unconditional guarantees except:
a. the guarantee provides a means to avoid bankruptcy.
Explanation:
Providing or offering customers unconditional guarantees does not help the company to avoid bankruptcy. Bankruptcy arises from inadequate financing resulting from overtrading. Importantly, offering guarantees to customers communicates a clear performance goal to employees to improve service delivery to customers.
TB MC Qu. 8-199 The Puyer Corporation makes and sells ... The Puyer Corporation makes and sells only one product called a Deb. The company is in the process of preparing its Selling and Administrative Expense Budget for next year. The following budget data are available: Monthly Fixed Cost Variable Cost Per Deb Sold Sales commissions $ 0.90 Shipping $ 1.40 Advertising $ 50,000 $ 0.20 Executive salaries $ 60,000 Depreciation on office equipment $ 20,000 Other $ 40,000 All of these expenses (except depreciation) are paid in cash in the month they are incurred. If the company has budgeted to sell 17,000 Debs in March, then the average budgeted selling and administrative expenses per unit sold for March is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $10
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total budgeted selling and administrative expenses for March which will be:
Advertising = $50,000
Add: Executive salaries = $60,000
Add: Depreciation on office equipment = $20,000
Add: Other = $40,000
Total = $170,000
Since the company has budgeted to sell 17,000 Debs in March, then the average budgeted selling and administrative expenses per unit sold for March is:
= $170000 / 17000
= $10
Pewabic plans to sell 900 boxes of art tile in April, and estimates they'll craft 870 boxes during the month. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay and a quarter hour of direct labor. Clay costs $0.40 per pound and pottery artisans are paid $12.00 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Pewabic has 3,900 pounds of clay in beginning inventory on April 1 and wants to have 4,500 pounds in ending inventory on April 30. What total amount should Pewabic budget for direct labor for the of April
Answer:
Direct labour cost budget= $2,610
Explanation:
The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.
Direct labour budget = Production budget × standard hours × standard labour rate per hour
Standard hour = a quarter direct labour = 1/4 hour
Direct labour budget = 870 × 0.1× $12= $2610
Direct labour cost budget= $2,610
Morris Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Morris Company estimated total overhead costs to be $452,000, and direct labor costs to be $2,260,000. Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $419,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $1,930,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a: Multiple Choice $452,000 Credit balance. $386,000 Debit balance. $33,000 Debit balance. $33,000 Credit balance. $419,000 Debit balance.
Answer:
As overhead was underapplied, the balance in overhead will be $33,000 credit.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 452,000 / 2,260,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
Now, we can allocate costs:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 0.2*1,930,000
Allocated MOH= $386,000
Finally, we determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 419,000 - 386,000
Underapplied overhead= $33,000
As overhead was underapplied, the balance in overhead will be $33,000 credit.
Berry Bloom Co is getting ready for Mother's Day and needs to purchase bouquets of flowers which will be sold prior to the holiday. Due to the high demand leading up to Mother's Day, the bouquets of flowers are sold at $20/bouquet. However, after the holiday, the bouquets can only be sold at $10/bouquet. The bouquets of flowers are purchased at $15/bouquet. Berry Bloom Co wants to perform an analysis to determine how many bouquets should be procured in preparation for Mother's Day. This type of problem is called the Group of answer choices Economic Order Quantity Problem Nonlinear Optimization Problem Newsvendor Problem Discriminant Analysis Problem
Answer:
Berry Bloom Co.
This type of problem that requires Berry to perform an analysis to determine how many bouquets of flowers to procure in preparation for Mother's Day is a:
Newsvendor Problem.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of bouquets of flowers = $20/bouquet
Cost price of bouquets of flowers = $15/bouquet
Profit per bouquet during Mother's Day = $5 ($20 - $15)
After-holiday selling price of the bouquets of flowers = $10/bouquet
Loss per bouquet of flower after the holiday = $5 ($15 - $10)
b) The Newsvendor model describes the challenges facing Berry Bloom as it gets ready for the Mother's Day holiday. The company must decide the volume of bouquets of flowers to procure prior to the holiday. The purchase decision becomes a problem because the demand for flowers is not certain, and the company is aware that unsold bouquets will be sold at a loss of $5 per bouquet after the holiday.
Kirkland Company combines its operating expenses for budget purposes in a selling and administrative expense budget. For the first 6 months of 2020, the following data are available. 1. Sales: 20,800 units quarter 1; 22,100 units quarter 2. 2. Variable costs per dollar of sales: sales commissions 5%, delivery expense 2%, and advertising 3%. 3. Fixed costs per quarter: sales salaries $10,900, office salaries $6,160, depreciation $4,490, insurance $2,080, utilities $880, and repairs expense $670. 4. Unit selling price: $24. Prepare a selling and administrative expense budget by quarters for the first 6 months of 2020
Answer:
Selling and administrative expense budget for 6 months = $144,300
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel for the selling and administrative expense budget.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Quarter 1 total cost = $70,720
Quarter 2 total cost = $73,580
Selling and administrative expense budget for 6 months = Six months total cost = Quarter 1 total cost + Quarter 2 total cost = $70,720 + $73,580 = $144,300

Consider the following statements regarding the economic pricing model:
I. The economic model is limited in use because a firm's demand curve is difficult to determine.
II. The marginal revenue and marginal cost model is valid for all forms of market organization (perfect competition, oligopoly, and so forth).
III. Cost accounting systems are not designed to measure the marginal changes in cost incurred as production and sales increase.
Which of the above statements is (are) true?
A. I only.
B. III only.
C. I and III.
D. II and III.
E. I, II, and III.
Answer:
C. I and III.
Explanation:
The demand curve is affected by many variables that can change in a relatively short period of time, for example, consumers' income. Even if a company is able to measure the demand curve, it cannot be sure for how long that result holds true. Managerial accounting is designed to measure historical costs generally associated to a certain production range.
The next dividend payment by Hoffman, Inc., will be $3.10 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6.25 percent forever. Assume the stock currently sells for $49.80 per share. a. What is the dividend yield
Answer:
6.2249%
Explanation:
Dividend yield = next dividend paid / price of the stock
Dividend yield is one of the components used in calculating the total return of a stock.
Total return = price return + dividend yield
price return is the return on a stock as a result of price appreciation
Dividend yield = $3.10 / $49.80 = 0.062249 = 6.2249%

In July, one of the processing departments at Okamura Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $24,000 and ending work in process inventory of $29,000. During the month, the cost of units transferred out from the department was $159,000. In the department's cost reconciliation report for July, the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be:
Answer: $188000
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be calculated thus:
Cost of ending work in process inventory = $29,000
Add: Cost of units transferred out = $159,000
Therefore, the total cost to be accounted for will be;
= $29000 + $159000
= $188000
Holtzman Clothiers's stock currently sells for $40.00 a share. It just paid a dividend of $1.75 a share (i.e., D0 = $1.75). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 7% a year. What stock price is expected 1 year from now? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What is the required rate of return? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. %
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now?
This will be calculated as:
= P0 × (1 + g)
where,
P0 = $40
g = growth rate = 7%
= P0 × (1 + g)
= 40 × (1 + 7%)
= 40 × (1 + 0.07)
= 40 × 1.07
= $42.80
b. What is the required rate of return?
This will be:
= (D1 / P0) + g
where D1 = D0 × (1+g) = 1.75 × (1+0.07) = 1.75 × 1.07 = 1.8725
= (D1 / P0) + g
= (1.8725 / 40) + 0.07
= 0.1168
= 11.68%

Related Information: Lease term 2 years (8 quarterly periods) Quarterly rental payments $18,200 at the beginning of each period Economic life of asset 2 years Fair value of asset $138,287 Implicit interest rate 6% Required: 1. Show how International Machines determined the $18,200 quarterly lease payments. 2. Prepare appropriate entries for International Machines to record the lease at its beginning, January 1, 2021, and the second lease payment on April 1, 2021.
Answer:
1. $18,200 per quarter
2. 1-Jan-21
Dr Lease Receivable $138,287
Dr Cost of Goods Sold $94, 000
Cr Inventory of Equipment $94,000
Cr Sales Revenue $138,287
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Receivable $18,200
1-Apr-21
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Revenue $1,801
Cr Lease Receivable $16,399
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Show how International Machines determined the $18,200 quarterly lease payments
First step is to find the Present value of annuity at period start
Lease term=n = 2 x 4 quarters
Lease term=n= 8 periods
Fair value of asset = $138,287
Implicit interest rate, i = 6%, quarterly rate = 6%/4 Implicit interest rate= 1.5%
Present value of annuity at period start at 1.5%, 8 periods
Present value of annuity at period start = 7.5982
Now let determine the quarterly payments
Quarterly payments= $138,287/7.5982
Quarterly payments = $18,200 per quarter
Therefore the quarterly lease payments is $18,200
2) Preparation of the appropriate entries for International Machines to record the lease at its beginning, January 1, 2021, and the second lease payment on April 1, 2021.
1-Jan-21
Dr Lease Receivable $138,287
Dr Cost of Goods Sold $94, 000
Cr Inventory of Equipment $94,000
Cr Sales Revenue $138,287
(To record lease at its beginning)
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Receivable $18,200
(To record lease at its beginning)
1-Apr-21
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Revenue $1,801
Cr Lease Receivable $16,399
(To record second lease payment)
Calculation of lease revenue as on April 1, 2021
Lease revenue = ($138,287 – $18,200) x 1.5%
Lease revenue= $120,087×1.5%
Lease revenue= $1,801
Lease receivable = $18,200 – $1,801
Lease receivable = $16,399
f-1. Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, on January 1, 2020, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $170,000 but had a $84,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $118,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. What worksheet entries are made for a December 31, 2021, consolidation of these two companies to eliminate the impact of the intra-entity transfer
Answer:
Journal 1
Debit : Other Income $34,000
Credit : Equipment $34,000
Journal 2
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $6,800
Credit : depreciation $6,800
Explanation:
Step 1 : Eliminate the Income resulting from sale and the additional value of equipment sitting in the buyer books
Income = Selling Price - Carrying Amount
where,
Carrying Amount = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $84,000
therefore,
Income = $118,000 - $84,000 = $34,000
Journal;
Debit : Other Income $34,000
Credit : Equipment $34,000
Step 2 : Eliminate the unrealized profit as a result of additional asset value
unrealized profit = income ÷ remaining useful life
= $34,000 ÷ 5
= $6,800
Journal;
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $6,800
Credit : depreciation $6,800
J.Crew is planning a new line of jackets for fall. It plans to sell the jackets for $100. It is having the jackets produced in the Dominican Republic. Although J. Crew does not own the factory, its product development and design costs are $400,000. The total cost of the jacket, including transportation to the stores, is $45.
1. What is the breakeven quantity for this item? That is, the number that J. Crew will need to sell in order to not lose money?(Treat product development and design costs [$400,000] as fixed, cost of each jacket including transportation [$45] as unit variable cost)
a. 6.846 jackets
b. 7,273 jackets
c. 9,118 jackets
d. 8,435 jackets
2. What is the breakeven point, in sales revenue dollars?
a. $727,300
b. $684,600
c. $843,500
d. $911,800
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 400,000 / (100 - 45)
Break-even point in units= 7,273
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 400,000 / 0.55
Break-even point (dollars)= $727,300
Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price per unit
Contribution margin ratio= 55 / 100= 0.55

MillerCoors Brewing Company is the world’s fifth largest brewer. In the United States, its tie to the magical appeal of the Rocky Mountains is one of its most powerful trademarks. Some of the items included in its recent annual consolidated statement of cash flows presented using the indirect method are listed here. Indicate whether each item is disclosed in the Operating Activities (O), Investing Activities (I), or Financing Activities (F) section of the statement or use (NA) if the item does not appear on the statement. (Note: This is the exact wording used on the actual statement.)
Answer:
1. Purchase of stock. FINANCING ACTIVITIES.
Financing activities relate to transactions that involve the capital of the company. They include long term debt and equity. In this case, the company is buying back its own shares so this falls under Financing activities as it has to do with the company's own capital.
2. Principal payment on long-term debt. FINANCING ACTIVITIES.
Principal repayment retires long term debt and as mentioned above, financing activities relate to activities that involve long term debt.
3. Proceeds from sale of properties. INVESTING ACTVITIES.
Properties are fixed assets and transactions involving these are considered investing activities so the proceeds from a sale of properties would rightfully be an investing activity.
4. Inventories (decrease). OPERATING ACTIVITIES.
Transactions that have to do with the day to day operations of the business fall under operating activities and this includes inventories decreasing.
5. Accounts payable (decrease). OPERATING ACTIVITIES.
Operations of the business includes accounts payables decreasing as well.
6. Depreciation and amortization. OPERATING ACTIVITIES.
Depreciation and amortization arise from using the fixed assets for day to day operations so this will fall under Operating activities.

Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $464,000. Of this sum, $58,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will permit the company to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $58,000 straight-line over 5 years. The tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%.
a. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense?
b. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment?
Answer:
Ideal China
a) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense is:
= $318,304.
b) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment is:
= $363,776.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Present value factor for 5 years at 5% = 0.784
Cost of new kiln = $464,000
Installation cost = $58,000
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense = $406,000 * 0.784 = $318,304
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment = $464,000 * 0.784 = $363,776
The cost function for Acme Laundry is
C(q) = 20 + 30q + q2
where q is tons of laundry cleaned. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p?
The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized as a function of p is____.
If p = 100, then Acme Laundry should____produce units.
Answer:
Explanation:
The profit function will be:
π = Total revenue - Total cost
where,
Total revenue = price × quantity= pq
Total cost = 20 + 30q + q²
π = pq - (20 + 30q + q²)
π = pq - 20 - 30q - q²
Then we maximize profit with respect to q which will be:
dπ/dq = p - 30 - 2q
We then equate the profit function to 0.
p - 30 - 2q = 0
p - 2q = 30
2q = p - 30
q = (p - 30)/2
When p = 100, the number of units that should be produced will be:
= (p - 30)/2
= (100 - 30)/2
= 70/2
= 35 units
Which of the following is necessary in order for a firm to successfully practice price discrimination? A. The firm's transactions costs must be zero. B. The demand for the firm's product is inelastic. C. The firm must practice product differentiation. D. The firm must be able to segment the market for the product.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
Types of Price Discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
Requirements to practice successful price discrimination
The firm must have market power. If the firm does not have market power and attempts to price discriminate they would lose customersThe firm must have different elasticities of demand for their product in different marketsThe firm must be able to segment the market for their products
