Answer:
13.4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of external equity capital using the dividend capitalization model approach
Using this formula
Cost of external equity capital = (D1/Pnet) + g
Let plug in the formula
Cost of external equity capital =[$3.50(1.05)/$44] + 0.05
Cost of external equity capital= 0.1335 *100
Cost of external equity capital= 13.4%
Therefore the cost of external equity capital using the dividend capitalization model approach is 13.4%

Cabell Products is a division of a major corporation. Last year the division had total sales of $28,540,000, net operating income of $2,597,140, and average operating assets of $5,708,000. The company's minimum required rate of return is 10%. The division's margin is closest to: Multiple Choice 20.0% 45.5% 9.1% 91.0%
Answer:
9.1%
Explanation:
With regards to the above, margin is computed as;
Margin = (Net operating income ÷ Sales) × 100
Given that:
Net operating income = $2,597,140
Sales = $28,540,000
Margin = ($2,597,140 ÷ $28,540,000) × 100
Margin = 9.1%

Evan phoned his representative when he received his most recent statement on his deferred annuity. Evan is 65 and purchased the fixed annuity seven years ago to be a conservative part of his portfolio. Evan has read and heard a lot about how the market is beginning to take off and that variable annuities have considerable growth potential. He wants to get out of the fixed annuity and purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return. The representative should:
Answer: Review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs
Explanation:
The options include:
A. Recommend that Evan consider an exchange into a variable life insurance policy because it has growth potential with a death benefit.
B. Recommend that Evan surrender the annuity and invest in bond mutual funds because they work similar and cost less.
C. Review Evan’s investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
D. Update his investor profile factors and risk tolerance, and discuss with Evan the long term focus of a variable annuity and how it will outperform the fixed annuity within the first couple of years.
Based on the information given in the question, the best thing that the representative should do will be to review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
When Evan's investor profile factors is checked, then the representative can then inform Evans about the appropriate thing to do and if it's appropriate for him to purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return.
Going ahead by getting out of the fixed annuity and purchasing a variable annuity without reviewing Evan's investor's profile isn't appropriate.

A company is considering opening a new product line. The building being considered will have a monthly lease and utility payment of $3500. Two employees will be hired at $ 15/hr/employee. Each employee will work 120 hrs per month. The average revenue per unit product sold is estimated at $ 100. The variable cost of production of each unit is estimated at $40.
Required:
a. How many units must be produced each month for the buisness to breakeven?
b. How many units must be produced monthly to achieve a monthly profit of $10,000?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs:
Total fixed costs= 3,500 + (120*2*15)
Total fixed costs= $7100
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 7,100 / (100 - 40)
Break-even point in units= 118.33 = 119 units
Finally, the number of units to earn $10,000 in profit:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (7,100 + 10,000) / 60
Break-even point in units= 285
The following appeared in the October 15, 2021, issue of the Financial Smarts Journal:
This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale or an offer to buy securities.
New Issue October 15, 2021
$750,000,000
CRAFT FOODS, INC.
7.75% Debentures Due October 1, 2031
Price 99.57% plus accrued interest if any from date of issuance Copies of the prospectus and the related prospectus supplement may be obtained from such of the undersigned as may legally offer these securities under applicable securities laws.
Keegan Morgan & Co. Inc.
Coldwell Bros. & Co.
Robert Stacks & Co.
Sherwin-William & Co.
Required:
1. Based on the information provided in the announcement, indicate whether the market rate of interest is higher or lower than 7.75% when the Craft Foods bonds were issued.
2. If debt issue costs were $75,000 and the bonds were issued on an interest payment date, what entry did Craft use to record the sale?
Answer:
1. The market rate of interest is higher than 7.75% when the Craft Foods bonds were issued.
2. Debit Cash for $746,700,000; Dbit Discount on bond payable for $3,225,000; Debit Bond issue cost for $75,000; and Credit Bond payable for $750,000,000.
Explanation:
1. Based on the information provided in the announcement, indicate whether the market rate of interest is higher or lower than 7.75% when the Craft Foods bonds were issued.
From the information provided, it can be observed that the face value of this bond is 100% but it is issued at 99.57% price. Since the issue price of 99.57% is less than the face value, this implies that the bond is issued at a discount.
When a bond is issued at a discount, it indicates the stated interest rate is lower than the market interest rate.
Therefore, the market rate of interest is higher than 7.75% when the Craft Foods bonds were issued.
2. If debt issue costs were $75,000 and the bonds were issued on an interest payment date, what entry did Craft use to record the sale?
Before the journal entry is prepared, the following are first calculated:
Proceeds from bond issue = Bond price * Total face value = $750,000,000 * 99.57% = $746,775,000
Discount on bond = Total face value - Proceeds from bond issue = 750,000,000 - $746,775,000 = $3,225,000
Cash = Proceeds from bond issue - Debt issue costs = $746,775,000 - $75,000 = $746,700,000
The journal entry will now look as follows:
Description Debit ($) Credit ($)
Cash 746,700,000
Discount on bond payable 3,225,000
Bond issue cost 75,000
Bond payable 750,000,000
(To record bond issue at a discount.)

a. Wheat used to make flour at General Mills.
b. Sales commissions paid to sales personnel at Gap retail stores.
c. Costs incurred by General Motors to ship automobile seats purchased from the Lear Corporation to GM assembly plants.
d. Insurance paid on the Target retail stores in Michigan.
Answer:
Product costs refer to the costs incurred to produce a good while period costs are more like general expenses incurred during a period.
a. Wheat used to make flour at General Mills. ⇒ PRODUCT COST. DIRECT MATERIAL.
Wheat is a main ingredient in producing flour so it is a product cost. It is also a direct material cost because it is directly involved in the making of flour which is the main product of General Mills.
b. Sales commissions paid to sales personnel at Gap retail stores. ⇒ PERIOD COST.
Sales commissions have nothing to do with the production of the goods so is a period cost that relates to general expenses incurred in a period.
c. Costs incurred by General Motors to ship automobile seats purchased from the Lear Corporation to GM assembly plants. ⇒ PRODUCT COST. DIRECT MATERIAL COST.
The automobile seats are necessary for the production of cars which makes them a product cost. Cars are the main product of GM and chairs are necessary for that so this is a direct material.
d. Insurance paid on the Target retail stores in Michigan. ⇒ PERIOD COST.
General period expense.
Key Co. plans to present comparative financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20X1 and 20X2, respectively. Smith, CPA, audited Key's financial statements for both years and plans to report on the comparative financial statements on May 1, 20X3. Key's current management team was not present until January 1, 20X2. What period of time should be covered by Key's management representation letter
Answer: B. January 1, 20X1, through May 1, 20X3
Explanation:
The management representation letter should cover all the periods that will be in the auditor's report not just the periods that the current management team was in effect in.
Even though the financial statements are for the years ended December 31, 20X1 and 20X2, the auditor has a responsibility to include the events that happened all the way up to the date the reports will be released on May 20X3.
This is why the management representation letter needs to include the entire period of January 1, 20X1, through May 1, 20X3 because those will be in the audit report.

Determine the missing items, identifying each by the letters (a) through (l). Round profit margin to one decimal place and investment turnover to two decimal places.
aAnswer:
Note: See the lower part of the attached excel for the table for the answer.
Explanation:
In the attached excel file, the following calculations are done:
(a) Operating income = Sales * Profit margin = $6,000,000 * 20% = $1,200,000
(b) Invested assets = Operating income / Return on investment = $1,200,000 / 16% = $7,500,000
(c) Investment turnover = Return on investment / Profit margin = 16% / 20% = 0.80 times
(d) Sales = Operating income / Profit margin = 1,512,000.00 / 12% = $12,600,000
(e) Investment assets = Sales / Investment turnover = $12,600,000 / 1.40 = $9,000,000.00
(f) Return on investment = Investment turnover * Profit margin = 1.40 * 12% = 16.80%
(g) Operating income = Invested assets * Return on investment = $11,000,000 / 17.50% = $1,925,000
(h) Profit margin = (Operating income / Sales) * 100 = ($1,925,000 / $13,750,000) * 100 = 14.0%
(i) Investment turnover = Return on investment / Profit margin = 17.50% / 14.0% = 1.25 times
(j) Return on investment = (Operating income / Invested assets) * 100 = ($840,000 / $3,500,000) * 100 = 24.0%
(k) Profit margin = (Operating income / Sales) * 100 = ($840,000 / $5,250,000) * 100 = 16.0%
(l) Investment turnover = Return on investment / Profit margin = 24.0% / 16.0% = 1.50

For 2018, Tree Top Farms had sales of $438,000, cost of goods sold of $286,000, ending inventory of $154,000, ending accounts receivable of $46,000, and ending accounts payable of $38,000. For 2019, sales were $413,000, cost of goods sold was $281,000, ending inventory was $149,000, ending accounts receivables were $48,000, and ending accounts payable were $36,000. What was the cash cycle for 2019 based on a 365-day year
Answer:
190.27 days
Explanation:
Average accounts receivable = (Ending accounts receivable 2018 + Ending accounts receivable 2019) / 2
Average accounts receivable = ($46,000 + $48,000)/2
Average accounts receivable = $47,000
Average accounts payable = (Ending accounts payable 2018 + Ending accounts payable 2019) / 2
Average accounts payable = ($38,000 + $36,000)/2
Average accounts payable = $37,000
Average inventory = (Ending inventory 2018 + Ending inventory 2019) / 2
Average inventory = ($154,000 + $149,000)/2
Average inventory = $151,500
Days sales outstanding = (Average accounts receivable*365 days)/Sales
Days sales outstanding = ($47,000*365 days)/$413,000
Days sales outstanding = $17,155,000/$413,000
Days sales outstanding = 41.54 days
Days payable outstanding = (Average accounts payable*365 days)/Cost of goods sold
Days payable outstanding = ($37,000*365 days)/$281,000
Days payable outstanding = $13,505,000/$281,000
Days payable outstanding = 48.06 days
Days inventory outstanding = (Average inventory*365 days)/Cost of goods sold
Days inventory outstanding = ($151,500*365 days)/$281,000
Days inventory outstanding = $55,297,500/$281,000
Days inventory outstanding = 196.79 days
Cash cycle = Days sales outstanding + Days inventory outstanding - Days payable outstanding
Cash cycle = 41.54 days + 196.79 days - 48.06 days
Cash cycle = 190.27 days
Hence, the cash cycle for 2019 based on a 365-day year is 190.27 days

b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = 88.80%
b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.
c. The manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of Mean of X and Y and other values.
a. Develop a regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced.
The regression can be written as follows:
Y = bo + b1X ………………… (1)
b1 = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2) = –34,273.08 / 121,585.14 = –0.2819
b0 = Mean of Y – (b1 * Mean of X) = 1,018.20 - (365.44 * 0.2819) = 915.18
Substituting b) and b1 values into equation (1), regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced can be written as follows:
Y = 915.18 – 0.2819X ……………………….. (2)
Equation (2) is the regression equation required.
b. What are the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination? Comment on your regression equation in light of these measures.
b-1. Correlation coefficient (r) can be calculated using the following formula:
r = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / ((Sum of (Y - Mean of Y)^2) * (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2))^0.5 = –34,273.08 / (10,879.60 * 121,585.14)^0.5 = –0.9423
b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = –0.94^2 = 0.8880, or 88.80%
b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.
c. Suppose that the market survey indicates a demand of 325,000 gallons in the Bucyrus Ohio, area. Estimate the manufacturing cost per gallon for a plant producing 325,000 gallons per year.
Since X and Y are in thousands, 325,000 gallons implies we have:
X = 325
Substitute X = 325 into equation (2), we have:
Y = 915.18 - (0.2819 * 325)
Expressing in full form, we have:
Y = $823
Therefore, the manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.
Analysis of Receivables Method At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $770,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $7,000; and sales for the year total $3,470,000. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $32,200. a. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts. $fill in the blank 1 b.

Answer:
A. $25,200
B. Accounts Receivable $770,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $32,200
Bad Debt Expense $25,200
C. $744,800
Explanation:
a. Calculation to Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts using this formula
Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Credit balance on Allowance for doubtful accounts
Let plug in the formula
Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry=$32,200 - $7,000
Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= $25,200
Therefore the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts is $25,200
B. Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable will be $770,000
Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be $32,200
Bad Debt Expense = $32,200 - $7,000
Bad Debt Expense= $25,200
c. Calculation to Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable
Using this formula
Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Accounts receivables - Bad debt
Let plug in the formula
Net realizable value of accounts receivable= $770,000 - $25,200
Net realizable value of accounts receivable=$744,800
Therefore Net realizable value of accounts receivable is $744,800
