Answer:
a. Yum Co. uses cash to repurchase 10% of its common stock. (Financing activity)
b. DigiInk Printing Co. buys new machinery to ramp up its production capacity. (Investing activity)
c. D and W Co. sells its last season’s inventory to a discount store. (Operating activity)
d. A company records a loss of $70,000 on the sale of its outdated inventory. (Operating activity)
Explanation:
Cash flow statement shows how cash is used and obtained in a business. There are different activities that influence cash flow. Below are the activities:
- Operating activities are those that include normal business operations like buying and selling of inventory, interest payments, and salaries.
- Investing activities involves use of cash for investment like purchase or sale of assets, merger and acquisitions payments, and purchase of equipment.
- Financing activities includes cash used to purchase or sell equity such as shares, payment of dividends, and repayment of principal from debt
On December 31, 2021, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $102 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2051. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2022. (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.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2021, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer: $89,342,526
Explanation:
Price of the bond will be the present value of the face value plus the present value of the interest payments.
Interest Payments
= 6% * 102,000,000
= $6,120,000
2051 - 2021 = 30 years
Similar interest = 7%
Present value = 6,120,000 * Present value factor of annuity for 30 years, 7%
= 6,120,000 * 12.4090
= $75,943,080
Present value of bond
= 102,000,000/(1 + 7%)^30
= $13,399,445.95
Price of bond = 13,399,445.95 + 75,943,080
=$89,342,526
A parent transfers inventory with a cost of $25,000 to its subsidiary at a transfer price of $40,000. The subsidiary resold 50% of this transferred inventory to outsiders before year-end. For the current year consolidated financial statement, how much gross profit should be deferred by Consolidation Entry G
Answer: $7,500
Explanation:
The profit made from the transfer is;
= 40,000 - 25,000
= $15,000
The subsidiary however only managed to resell 50% of this. The Consolidated entry therefore will show that 50% of the inventory remains so profit will have to be deferred till it is sold. The amount deferred is;
= 15,000 * 50%
= $7,500
Suppose someone offered to sell you a note calling for payment of $1,225 15 months from today (456 days). They offer to sell it to you for $950. You have $950 in a bank time deposit which pays a 12% nominal rate with a daily (365 days a year) compounding, and you plan to leave the money in the bank unless you buy the note? Recommend action based on checking the decision in three ways:
(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank,
(2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account, and
(3) by comparing the EAR on the note versus that of the bank account.
Answer:
(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank,
the future value of the note = $1,225
the future value of the time deposit = $950 x (1 + 0.12/365)⁴⁵⁶ = $1,103.62
the note has the highest future value
(2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account, and
PV of note = $1,225 / (1 + 0.12/365)⁴⁵⁶ = $1,054.48 (I used the same interest rate than the time deposit)
present value of your time deposit = $950
the note has the highest present value
(3) by comparing the EAR on the note versus that of the bank account.
EAR of the note using the future value formula:
1,225 = 950 x (1 + r)¹°²⁵
(1 + r)¹°²⁵ = 1,225 / 950 = 1.2895
¹°²⁵√(1 + r)¹°²⁵ = ¹°²⁵√1.2895
1 + r = 1.2255
r = 0.2255 = 22.55%
EAR time deposit = (1 + 0.12/365)³⁶⁵ - 1 = 12.75%
the note's effective annual rate is higher
The readings suggest there are certain strategies for pricing new products, which is decidedly more difficult than adjusting prices to existing products. The new product pricing approaches are:SkimmingPenetrationEveryday low pricesThe pricing approaches discussed for existing products are:Cost plusMarkupMarkdownOdd-even pricingPrestige pricingPrice liningDemand backward pricingLeader pricingSealed bid pricingGoing-rate pricingPrice bundlingCaptive pricingProduct mix pricingTwo-part pricingPromotional pricingThere is no shortage of pricing approaches, and as customers, we are exposed to all of them at some time or another in our purchasing processes.Choose one of the pricing approaches and discuss the product, the pricing approach, and why you think it is the most appropriate approach for that particular product given your consumer characteristics. Be sure you understand the definition of your approach before tackling this topic.Many of you will be tempted to use promotional pricing since it is the easiest to demonstrate. So promotional pricing is not "for sale" (pun intended). Pick one of the other approaches for this topic.
Explanation:
Penetration Pricing:
It is the marketing approach that consists of a strategy to insert a new product in the market offering lower prices.
This strategy would help a new company, for example, to enter the market and already achieve good demand for its products and services, in addition to this strategy being a barrier of entry for new competitors.
Penetration pricing is the most appropriate marketing strategy for companies that need to reach a market place and reach a large number of people, which is achieved when offering a product with quality and benefits that can create consumer needs for customers, which makes it possible for the company to fulfill its objective and then be able to establish itself in the market and then increase prices so that the demand for the products is maintained.
This strategy is generally used by retailers and organizations that offer products offered in bulk, such as food, cosmetics, automobiles, etc.
Vaughn Manufacturing has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales for Vaughn are 60000 Standard and 40000 Supreme. Fixed expenses are $1500000. How many Standards would Vaughn sell at the break-even point?
Answer:
30,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point is shown below:
But before that we need to do the following calculations
Standard product sales mix % is
= 60,000 ÷ (60,000 + 40,000)
= 60,000 ÷ 100,000
= 60%
Total Break even in units is
= $1,500,000 ÷ $30
= 50,000
Now
Break even units for Standard product is
= 50000 x 60%
= 30,000 units

Mazeppa Corporation sells relays at a selling price of $28 per unit. The company's cost per unit, based on full capacity of 160,000 units, is as follows:
Direct materials $6
Direct labor 4
Overhead (2/3 of which is variable) 9
Mazeppa has been approached by a distributor in Montana offering to buy a special order consisting of 30,000 relays. Mazeppa has the capacity to fill the order. However, it will incur an additional shipping cost of $2 for each relay it sells to the distributor.
Required:
a. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at a level of 100,000 units. Show the calculation for the unit price to charge the distributor which will generate an increase in operating income of $2 per unit.
b. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at full capacity. To fill the special order, regular customers will have to be turned away. Now what unit price should it charge the distributor if it wishes to increase total operating income by $60,000 more than it would be without accepting the special order?
Answer:
a. $20.00
b. $28,75
Explanation:
Find the total incremental costs to satisfy the special order and add $2.00 profit (because we are aiming for a profit not to just break-even).
Calculation of Total Incremental Unit Costs
Direct materials $6 .00
Direct labor $4.00
Variable Overheads (2/3 × $9) $6.00
Shipping Cost $2.00
Total Incremental Unit Cost $18.00
Add Profit Element $2.00
Unit Selling Price for the Special Order $20.00
In this case no changes will occur on fixed overheads, hence it is irrelevant.
Calculation of Desired Net Operating Income
Sales ($28 × 160,000 units) $4,480,000
Less Product Costs :
Direct materials ($6 .00 × 160,000 units) ($960,000)
Direct labor ($4.00 × 160,000 units) ($640,000)
Variable Overheads ($6.00 × 160,000 units) ($960,000)
Fixed Overheads ($3.00 × 160,000 units) ($480,000)
Current Operating Income $1,440,000
Add Desired Increase in Operating Income $60,000
Desired Operating Income $1,500,000
Unit Profit = $1,500,000 ÷ 160,000 units
= $9.375
Unit Profit = Unit Selling Price - Total Unit Costs - Unit Incremental Profit
therefore,
Unit Selling Price = Unit Profit + Total Unit Costs + Unit Incremental Profit
= $9.375 + $19.00 + $0.375
= $28,75
Blossom Corp is issuing a 10-year bond with a coupon rate of 11 percent. The interest rate for similar bonds is currently 7 percent. Assuming annual payments, what is the value of the bond
Answer:
$1,280.94
Explanation:
FV= $1000
PMT = 11% * $1000 = $110
N = 10 Years
I/Y = 7%
Using Excel, Present value of bond ($1,000, $110, 10, 7%) = $1280.9433
Hence, the present value of bond = $1,280.94
Intangible Assets and Goodwill: Amortization and Impairment In early 2011, Bowen Company acquired a new business unit in a merger. Allocation of the acquisition cost resulted in fair values assigned as follows:
Intangible Asset Fair Value Estimated Value
Customer lists $400,000 5 years
Developed technology 640,000 10 years
Internet domain name 1,040,000 Indefinite
Goodwill 4,960,000 Indefinite
The goodwill is assigned entirely to the acquired business unit. Impairment reviews at the end of 2011 and 2012 did not identify any impairment losses. After the business suffered a downturn during 2013, the year-end impairment review yielded the following information: Customer lists are estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of $200,000 and discounted future cash flows of $144,000.
The internet domain name is estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of $800,000 and discounted future cash flows of $600,000. The acquired business unit has a fair value of $13,600,000, a carrying amount of $14,800,000, and the fair value of its identifiable net assets is $11,360,000.
Required:
Determine Bowen's amortization expense and impairment write-offs for 2013.
Bradford Services Inc. (BSI) is considering a project that has a cost of $10 million and an expected life of 3 years. There is a 30 percent probability of good conditions, in which case the project will provide a cash flow of $9 million at the end of each year for 3 years. There is a 40 percent probability of medium conditions, in which case the annual cash flows will be $4 million, and there is a 30 percent probability of bad conditions and a cash flow of -$1 million per year. BSI uses a 12 percent cost of capital to evaluate projects like this.
Required:
a. Find the project's expected cash flows and NPV.
b. Now suppose the BSI can abandon the project at the end of the first year by selling it for $6 million. BSI will still receive the Year 1 cash flows, but will receive no cash flows in subsequent years. Assume the salvage value is risky and should be discounted at the WACC.
Answer:
a) expected cash flow per year (same for all 3 years) = (30% x $9 million) + (40% x $4 million) + (30% x -$1 million) = $4 million
initial outlay = $10 million
discount rate = 12%
NPV = -$10 + $4/1.12 + $4/1.12² + $4/1.12³ = -$0.39 million
b) assuming that the project is abandoned at the end of year 1:
NPV = -$10 + $4/1.12 + $6/1.12 = -$1.07 million
Actually things get worse if you decide to sell the project after year 1. The present value of the expected cash flows is higher than the present value of the salvage value.

c. Calculate Steelcase's accounts receivable turnover for 2014. (Use Accounts receivable, net for the calculation.) Round answer to one decimal place times
d. How much cash did Steelcase receive from customers in 2014? 3,005 million
Answer:
b. Gross Receivable = Net receivable +Allowance
2014 = $306.8 + $13 = $319.80
2013 = $287.3 + $14.5 = $301.8
Allowance as a % of Gross receivable = Allowance / Gross receivable
2014 = $13/319.80 = 0.041 = 4.1%
2013 = $14.5/301.8 = 0.015 = 1.5%
c. Average Net Accounts receivable = (Accounts receivable, net 2014 + Accounts receivable, net 2013) / 2 = ($306.8 + $287.3] / 2 = $297.05
Receivable Turnover = Net credit sales / Average Net Accounts receivable
Receivable Turnover = $2,989 / $297.05
Receivable Turnover = 10.06 Times
d) Cash received in 2014 = Beginning Gross receivables + Net sales - Ending Gross receivables-Adjustment in allowance (Write-off 2014)
Cash received in 2014 = $301.8 + $2,989 - $319.8 - $4.3
Cash received in 2014 = $2,966.7
Increase in customer deposits = $16 - 13.5 = $2.5
Total Cash received from customers in 2014 = Cash received in 2014 + Increase in customer deposits
Total Cash received from customers in 2014 = $2,966.7 + $2.5
Total Cash received from customers in 2014 = $2969.20

Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)Machine A could be purchased for $48,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,000 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,000.Machine B could be purchased for $40,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $4,000 in year three, $5,000 in year six, and $6,000 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.Required:Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?
Answer: Machine B because it has the lower Present Value
Explanation:
Machine A= Present Value of income - Present Value of Costs
Present value of Income;
Sold for $5,000 after 10 years.
= 5,000/ (1 + 8%)^10
= $2,315.97
Present Value of Costs;
Purchased for $48,000.
Maintenance of $1,000 per year for years.
Present value of maintenance= 1,000 * Present value factor of annuity, 10 years, 8%
= 1,000 * 6.7101
= $6,710.10
Machine A Present Value
= 2,315.97 - 6,710.10 - 48,000
= -$52,394
Machine BNo salvage value.
Present Value of costs
Purchased for $40,000.
Present value of maintenance = (4,000 / (1 + 8%)^3) + (5,000 / ( 1 + 8)^6) + (6,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^8)
= -$9,567.79
Present Value = -40,000 - 9,567.79
= -$49,568

Find an approximate annual dollar-weighted yield received by Abiyote for the three-year period from January 1, 1994 until January 1, 1997 using
Answer:
The information about Abiyote's investment is missing, so I looked for similar questions:
Abiyote's time weighted rate of return = [(1 + HP₁ ) x (1 + HP₂) x (1 + HP₃)]¹/³ - 1
HP₁ = ($28,212 - $24,500) / $24,500 = 0.1515
HP₂ = ($15,892 - $18,212) / $18,212 = -0.1274
HP₃ = ($30,309 - $23,892) / $23,892 = 0.2686
TWRR = [(1.1515 x 0.8726 x 1.2686)¹/³ - 1 = 0.08426 = 8.43%
You calculate TWRR in the same way as you calculate geometric mean.

Alto Corporation sold two capital assets this year. The first sale resulted in a $13,000 capital gain, and the second sale resulted in a $41,000 capital loss. Alto was incorporated five years ago. Four years ago, Alto recognized $5,000 of net capital gain. Three years ago, Alto recognized $10,000 of net capital gain. Two years ago and last year, Alto recognized no net capital gains.
Required:
Using a 21 percent tax rate, compute Alto's tax refund from the carryback of its current year capital loss. Compute Alto's capital loss carryforward into next year.
Answer:
A. Tax refund $2,100
B. $18,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation for Alto's tax refund from the carryback of its current year capital loss
Based on the information given we were told that Alto has the amount of $28,000 ( 13,000-41,000) as a net capital loss that is non deductible this year which means Alto can
carry the loss back 3 years in order for Alto to deduct against net capital gain in those 3years.
Secondly Alto can as well remove the amount of $10,000 capital loss that was carryback against capital gain 3 years ago in order to have the amount of $2,100 as tax refund which is calculated as ($10,000 × 21%)
B. Computation of Alto's capital loss carryforward into next year.
Alto’s capital loss carryforward = ($28,000 − $10,000).
Alto’s capital loss carryforward =$18,000
Therefore Alto’s capital loss carryforward will be $18,000
