Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction debris from building sites. The entire rig is estimated to have an initial cost of $125,000, a life of 8 years, a $5000 salvage value, an operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $2000. Alternatively, Alfred can obtain the same services from the city as needed at each construction site for an initial delivery cost of $125 per dumpster per site and a daily charge of $20 per day per dumpster. An estimated 45 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 12% per year, how many days per year must the equipment be required to justify its purchase?
Answer:
If the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.
Explanation:
alternative 1:
initial outlay = $125,000
useful life 8 years
depreciation per year = ($125,000 - $5,000) / 8 = $15,000
costs:
$40 per day
maintenance $2,000 per year
total annual costs = $40x + $2,000
alternative 2:
$125 x 45 sites = $5,625
$20x
total annual costs = $5,625 + $20x
how large does x need to be in order for alternative 1 to be better using a 12% discount rate
cash flows
year 0 = ($125,000)
year 1 = $40x + $2,000 - $5,625 - $20x = $20x - $3,625
year 2 = $20x - $3,625
year 3 = $20x - $3,625
year 4 = $20x - $3,625
year 5 = $20x - $3,625
year 6 = $20x - $3,625
year 7 = $20x - $3,625
year 8 = $20x - $3,625 + $5,000 = $20x + $1,375
I used the present value of an annuity formula, to determine the value of cash flow:
the PV annuity factor for 12% and 7 periods is 4.5638, so:
24,756.20 x 4.5638 = $112,982
$29,756.20 / (1.12⁸) = $12,018
total = $125,000
$20x - $3,625 = 24,756.20
$20x = $28,381.20
x = $28,381.20 / $20 = 1,419.06 days (including all 45 sites)
That means that if the total number of days per year is 1,419 or less, then the company should obtain the services from the city. But if the total number of days per year is 1,420 or more, then the company should purchase the equipment.

The stockholders' equity of a corporation that has assets of $435,000 and liabilities of $326,000.b. The assets of a corporation that has liabilities of $250,000, common stock of $100,000, and retained earnings of $85,000.
Answer:
a. $109,000
b. $435,000
Explanation:
a. The calculation of Stockholder equity is shown below:-
Stockholder equity = Assets - Liabilities
= $435,000 - $326,000
= $109,000
b. The calculation of assets is shown below:-
Assets = Liabilities + Common stock + Retained earnings
= $250,000 + $100,000 + $85,000
= $435,000
Therefore for computing thr stockholder equity and assets we simply applied the above formula.
The company could issue preferred stock. The stock sells for RM105, however if new stock is issued, the company would receive only RM88. The par value of the stock is RM100 and the dividend is RM10. What is the cost of capital for the preferred stock to the company?
Answer: 11.36%
Explanation:
The Cost of capital is calculated as;
= (Dividend rate / Net Stock price) * 100
= (10 / 88) * 100
= 11.36%
Net Stock price is used as it shows a more accurate depiction of the cost of capital since it uses the actual amount that the company received.

Fair Value Method Equity Method
a. No Effect Decrease
b. Increase Decrease
c. No Effect No Effect
d. Increase No Effect
Answer:
d. Increase - No Effect
Explanation:
Under the fair value method, cash dividends are considered revenue. E.g. a $10,000 dividend will increase net income by $10,000 - taxes.

Mitchell Inc. issued 40, 6%, $1,000 bonds on January 1, 2020. The bonds pay cash interest semiannually each July 1, and December 31, and were issued to yield 7%. Debt issuance costs were $800. The bonds mature December 31, 2022, and the company uses the effective interest method to amortize bond discounts and debt issuance costs.Required a. Determine the selling price of the bonds. Round amount to the nearest whole dollar. b. Prepare an amortization schedule for the full bond term. c. Prepare journal entries on the following dates. 1. January 1, 2020, bond issuance. 2. June 30, 2020, interest payment. 3. December 31, 2020, interest payment.
Answer:
a. Determine the selling price of the bonds.
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to determine the price of the bonds:
0.035 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]} / [(1,000 + MV) / 2]
0.035 x [(1,000 + MV) / 2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]
0.035 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 200 - 0.2MV
17.5 + 0.0175MV = 230 - 0.2MV
0.2175MV = 212.5
MV = 212.5 / 0.2175 = $977
b. Prepare an amortization schedule for the full bond term.
I used an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough room here
c. Prepare journal entries on the following dates.
1. January 1, 2020, bond issuance.
Dr Cash 38,280

2. June 30, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,368
Dr Debt issue expense 146
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 168
Cr Credit issuance cost 146
[($40,000 - $920) x 3.5%] - $1,200 = $168
($168 / $920) x $800 = $146
3. December 31, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,374
Dr Debt issue expense 151
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 174
Cr Credit issuance cost 151

Requirement: Evaluate the internal controls in each situation as strong or weak.Cash receipts: Samson Auto Parts has_____internal controls. There is:____.A. Different people receive cash, record the cash, and deposit the cash.B. The accountant should maintain detailed records of the accounts receivable that are collected C. The cash collected is properly summarized and recorded by the accountant. D. The same person receives cash, records the cash, and deposits the cash.A) At Samson Carpet Mill, cash received by mail goes straight to the bookkeeper, who debits Cash and credits Accounts Receivable to record the collections from customers. The bookkeeper then deposits the cash in the bank. B) Cash received by mail at Liberty Dermatology Clinic goes to the mailroom, where a mail clerk opens envelopes and totals the cash receipts for the day. The mail clerk forwards customer checks to the cashier for deposit in the bank and forwards the remittance advices to the accounting department for posting credits to customer accounts. Cash payments: A) Scott Construction policy calls for construction supervisors to request the equipment needed for their jobs. The home office then purchases the equipment and has it shipped to the construction site. B) Remington Home Construction's policy calls for project supervisors to purchilse the equipment needed for jobs. The supervisors then submit the paid receipts to the home office for reimbursement. This policy enables supervisors to get the equipment quickly and keep
Answer:
1. Samson Auto Parts has weak internal controls. - c. not a good separation of duties.
Samson Auto has weak internal controls because the same person being the bookkeeper, receives cash, records it and deposits it. This gives the bookkeeper the opportunity to commit fraud.
2. Liberty Dermatology Clinic has strong internal controls. - There is a good separation of duties.
There are various people handling the cash so Liberty has stronger controls. The mail clerk receives the money, the cashier deposits it and the accounting department records it. There is therefore less chance of fraud.
3. Scott Construction has strong internal controls. - Good separation of duties.
Construction supervisors first request equipment they need, and the home office does the purchasing and shipping. This separation of duties will help reduce fraud as the supervisors will not make fraudulent claims that will be untraceable.
4. Remington Home Construction has weak internal controls. Poor separation of duties.
At Remington, the supervisors may be able to commit fraud due to the lack of separation of their duties. They can purchase equipment needed and then get reimbursed when they do. This opens the door for fraudulent claims on the part of the supervisors so Remington does indeed have weak controls.

1. What is the breakeven point for The Mugger?
2. Would you recommend promoting the change in product mix to 4 to 2 to 1 of flower mugs, dog mugs, and sports mugs? Why?
3. An executive summary is required.
Answer:
Flowers Dogs Sports Total
sales volume 25,000 100,000 50,000
selling price $20 $25 $10
variable cost $10 $20 $6
total fixed costs $500,000
contribution margin $10 $5 $4
weighted contribution margin = [(25,000 x $10) + (100,000 x $5) + (50,000 x $4)] / 175,000 = ($250,000 + $500,000 + $200,000) / 175,000 = $5.428571
break even point in units = $500,000 / $5.428571 = 92,105.26 ≈ 92,106 units
flowers: (25/175) x 92,106 = 13,158 units
dogs: (100/175) x 92,106 = 52,632 units
sports: (50/175) x 92,106 = 26,316 units
total = 92,106 units
break even point in $
flowers: 13,158 units x $20 = $263,160
dogs: 52,632 units x $25 = $1,315,800
sports: 26,316 units x $10 = $263,160
total = $1,842,120
currently total contribution margin is:
flowers: 25,000 units x $10 = $250,000
dogs: 100,000 units x $5 = $500,000
sports: 50,000 units x $4 = $200,000
total = $950,000
operating profit = $950,000 - $500,000 = $450,000
if the change is successful, then total contribution margin would be:
flowers: 100,000 units x $10 = $1,000,000
dogs: 50,000 units x $5 = $250,000
sports: 25,000 units x $4 = $100,000
total = $1,350,000
new operating profit = $1,350,000 - $500,000 = $850,000
So yes, I would recommend promoting the change in product mix to increase the sales of flower mugs in order to increase operating profit.

Acme Storage has a market capitalization of $100 million and debt outstanding of $40 million. Acme plans to maintain this same debt-equity ratio in the future. The firm pays an interest rate of 7.5% on its debt and has a corporate tax rate of 35%. show calculations
a. If Acme's free cash flow is expected to be $7 million next year and is expected to grow at a rate of 3% per year, what is Acme's WACC?
b. What is the value of Acme's interest tax shield?
Answer:
1. The Value of a levered firm can be calculated using WACC which means that if you have the Value, you can compute WACC.
The formula is;
Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)
Value of leveraged firm = Value of Equity + Value of Debt
= 100 + 40
= $140 million
Value of leveraged firm = Free cash-flow/ (WACC - Growth rate)
140 = 7 ( WACC - 3%)
140 * WACC - 4.2 = 7
WACC = 0.08
= 8%
2. Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm
Value of unleveraged Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate
WACC before tax = WACC + (Debt/(Debt + Equity))*Cost of Debt*(Tax Rate)
= 8% + (40/ 140) * 7.5%(35%)
= 8.75%
Value of unleveraged Firm = Free Cash Flow/ WACC before tax - Growth rate
= 7 /( 8.75% - 3%)
= $121.74 million
= $122 million
Interest tax shield = Value of leveraged firm - Value of unleveraged firm
= 140 - 122
= $18 million

Accel's statement of retained earnings shows the difference between the net income generated over the years for a business that has been in operation for years and the payouts from the net income in form of dividends to stockholders. For Maria Gomez's consulting business, the retained earnings statement shows what is remaining after paying dividend for the month of December to Gomez.
Accel's balance sheet is the final financial statement that is needed to be prepared to show the financial position of the firm. It shows what the firm owns as assets and the value that the firm owes other creditors for services not paid for or not yet rendered and the equity value for the stockholder, Maria.
