Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales(Net sales- Cost of Sales).
Net sales = $325,000
Cost of Sales = $240,500
Therefore we have;
$325,000 - $240,500
=$84,500
Gross profit ratio is (Gross profit/net sales) x 100%
($84,500 x $325,000) x 100%
26%

Answer: Firm-Fixed-Price contract
Explanation:
A Firm-Fixed-Price contract offers a price that is not subjected to any adjustments on the basis of the contractor's cost experience in performing the contract. The contractor is placed and faced with full responsibility and a high risk for all costs and resulting profit or loss. It requires the contractor to provide a specified level-of-effort over a stated period of work that can be stated only in general terms, and the Government pays the contractor a fixed-dollar amount.

Kim's Bridal Shoppe has 11,400 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $48 per share. It also has 275 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $90 per share. There are 300 bonds outstanding that have a coupon rate of 6.7 percent paid semiannually. The bonds mature in 29 years, have a face value of $2,000, and sell at 108 percent of par. What is the capital structure weight of the common stock
Answer:
0.0203
Explanation:
Calculation for the capital structure weight of the common stock
First step is to calculate the Value of Common Stock
Value of Common Stock = 11,400(48)
Value of Common Stock= $547,200
Second step is to calculate the Value of Preferred Stock
Value of Preferred Stock = 275(90)
Value of Preferred Stock = $24,750
Third step is to calculate the Value of Debt
Value of Debt = 1.08(2,000)(300)
Value of Debt= $648,000
Last step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock
Weight of Preferred Stock = 24,750/(547,200 + 24,750 + 648,000)
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0203
Therefore the capital structure weight of the common stock will be 0.0203

Suppose the working-age population of a fictional economy falls into the following categories: 30 are retired; 45 are stay-at-home parents; 120 are employed full time; 40 are employed part time; 25 are unemployed but are actively looking for employment; 15 are unemployed and are not actively looking for employment. The official unemployment rate as calculated by the BLS would be
Answer:
The unemployment rate is 13.51%
Explanation:
The computation of the unemployment rate is as follows;
But before that following calculations need to be done
Labor Force is
= 120 + 40 + 25
= 185
And, the unemployed would be 25
Now the unemployment rate is
= unemployed ÷ Labor Force
= 25 ÷ 185
= 13.51%
hence, the unemployment rate is 13.51%
On January 1, 2010, Broker Corp. issued $3,000,000 par value 12%, 10 year bonds which pay interest each December 31. If the market rate of interest was 14%, what was the issue price of the bonds
Answer:
$2,686,898
Explanation:
The computation of the issued price of the bond is as follows;
= Maturity value present value + interest payment maturity value
= $3,000,000 × 02697 + (($300,000 × 0.12) × 5.2161)
= $2,686,898
The 0.297 represent the PVF at 14% for 10 period
5.6502 represent the Present value of an annyity for 10 period at 12%

Explanation:
According to the given scenario, the calculation of the country A GDP in the year 2019 is as follows:
The Country's GDP is
= Net Consumption + Net investment + government purchase + net export (export-import)
= ($1,293 + $1,717 + $301) + ($704 + $310 + $374 + $611) + ($1,422 + $553) +($88 - $120)
= $3,311 + $1,999 + $1,975 - 32
= $7,253
Therefore , Country A's GDP is $7,253
Calvin and Carolyn Coleman purchased a home in San Francisco, California, for $375,000 on October 1, 2014. Calvin obtained a job in Portland, Oregon, and on December 1, 2015, the Colemans sold their home in San Francisco for $800,000. How much of the gain must the Colemans recognize?
Answer:
$133,333
Explanation:
General exclusion available = 500,000
Pro-rated exclusion available for 14 months out of 24 months = 500,000 * 14/24 = $291,667
Realized gain = $800,000 - $375,000 = $425,000
Recognized gain = 425,000 - 291,667 = $133,333
According to the Coase theorem, private parties can solve the problem of externalities if a. the number of parties involved is sufficiently large. b. the cost of bargaining is small. c. property rights aren't clearly defined. d. the initial distribution of legal rights favors the person being adversely affected by the externality.
Answer:
b. the cost of bargaining is small.
Explanation:
The basic concepts behind the Coase Theorem is that conflicts can be solved regardless of the original rights and a solution that benefits all parties can be found as long as transaction costs (bargaining costs) are low or nonexistent, and the output of the negotiation process efficiently allocates resources. This theorem is useful when you are trying to find solutions to negative externalities.
Chris paid $100,000 for a single-family home on July 1, 2019, and immediately placed it in service as residential rental property. At the time, the land was valued at $10,000. The property generated $6,000 in rental income for the year. His only expenses consisted of depreciation and $500 in real estate taxes. Chris is not a real estate professional, but he does actively participate in his rental real estate activity. He has no other passive income or losses. What amount does Chris report for his total rental real estate and royalty income
Answer:
Total Rental real estate and royalty income $4,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total rental real estate and the royalty income is as follows;
For rental income and royalty
Cost of single family home $100,000
Less: Valuation of the land -$10,000
Value allocated to property 90,000
Multiplied by Depreciation rate 1.667%
Depreciation Expense for 2019 $1,500
Rental Income 6,000
Less: Depreciation expense for 2019 -$1,500
Less: Real Estates taxes -$500
Total Rental real estate and royalty income $4,000
Based on his investment advisor's guidance, Christopher sold two stocks during 2020. The capital gain on the sale of Magnificent Inc. was $35,000 and the capital loss on the sale of Rotten Tomatoes Inc. was $7,000. Christopher needs the money for a downpayment on a condo. If Christopher is in the highest marginal tax bracket of 53.31%, what is the net amount that he will receive after taxes are paid on the sale of these shares to use towards the purchase of a condo
Answer:
The question is incomplete since we are not told if the capital gain is a short or long term gain. So I will answer the question in both possible scenarios.
Short term capital gains:
They are taxed as ordinary income, so the net gain = $35,000 - $7,000 = $28,000
Net gain after taxes = $28,000 x (1 - 53.31%) = $13,073.20
Long term capital gains:
They are taxed at a much lower rate that ranges from 0 to 20%. In this case, Christopher is probably taxed at 20%.
Net gain after taxes = $28,000 x (1 - 20%) = $22,400

Concord has the following inventory information. July 1 Beginning Inventory 30 units at $15 $450 7 Purchases 90 units at $23 2070 22 Purchases 10 units at $20 200 $2720 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 31 reveals that there are 30 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is
Answer:
COGS= $2,060
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
July 1: Beginning Inventory 30 units at $15 $450
July 7: Purchases 90 units at $23 2070
July 22: Purchases 10 units at $20 200
Ending inventory in units0 30 units
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Units sold= total units - ending inventory in units
Units sold= 130 - 30
Units sold= 100
Now, to calculate the cost of goods sold under the FIFO (first-in, first-out), we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 30*15 + 70*23
COGS= $2,060
A coupon bond paying semiannual interest is reported as having an ask price of 122% of its $1,000 par value. If the last interest payment was made one month ago and the coupon rate is 5%, what is the invoice price of the bond
Answer:
The correct answer is $1,224.12
Explanation:
According to the given scenario, the calculation of the invoice price of the bond is as follows:
Invoice price = Clean price + accrued interest
here
Clean price
= 122% of $1,000
= $1,220
And, the accrued interest is
= ($1,000 × 0.05 ÷ 2) × (30 days ÷ 182 days)
= 4.12088
Now the invoice price is
= $1,220 + $4.12088
= $1,224.12
hence, the invoice price of the bond is $1,224.12
If a borrower can afford to make monthly principal and interest payments of 1000 and the lender will make a 30 year loan at 5 1/2%, or a 20 year loan at 4 1/2% what is the largest loan this buyer can afford
Answer:
The the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
Step 1: Calculations of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2%
PV30 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% =?
P = monthly payment = 1000
r = interest rate = 5 1/2% = 5.50% = 0.055
n = number of years = 30
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV30 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.055))^30) / 0.055)
PV30 = 1000 * 14.5337451711221
PV30 = 14,533.75
Step 2: Calculation of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%
PV20 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)
Where;
PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2% =?
P = monthly payment = 1000
r = interest rate = 4 1/2% = 4.50% = 0.045
n = number of years = 20
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV20 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.045))^20) / 0.045)
PV20 = 1000 * 13.0079364514537
PV20 = 13,007.94
Conclusion
Since 14,533.75 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% is greater than the 13,007.94 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%, it therefore implies that the the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.

Jose opened a Premier account at City National Bank of Iowa with a minimum required deposit of
$1000. This bank advertised a rate of 1/2% on their Premier account with interest compounded quarterly.
After 5 years, what is the amount in the account?
Answer:
$1,025.299
Explanation:
The formula for compound interest is
FV = PV × (1+r)^ n
Where Fv is the future value
Pv is the present value = $1000
r is interest rate = 1/2 % or 0.5% per year
n is five years
interest is compounded quarterly,
Interest per quarter = 0.5% /4 = 0.125% which is 0.00125
n will be 5 years x 4 quarters = 20 periods
Fv= $1000 x (1 +0.00125)^20
Fv =$1000 x(1.00125)^20
Fv= $1000 x 1.025299
Fv = $1,025.299

Cox, North, and Lee form a partnership. Cox contributes $183,000, North contributes $152,500, and Lee contributes $274,500. Their partnership agreement calls for the income or loss division to be based on the ratio of capital invested. If the partnership reports income of $172,000 for its first year, what amount of income is credited to Lee's capital account
Answer:
$77,400
Explanation:
Lee's ratio = $274,500 / ($183,000 + $152,500+ $274,500)
Lee's ratio = $274,500 / $610,000
Lee's ratio = 0.45
Lee's ratio = 45%
Lee's ratio = Lee's profit ratio
If the partnership reports income of $172,000.
Lee's income will be = 45%*$172,000 = $77,400
Thus, the amount of income to be credited to Lee's capital account is $77,400

Marti received 11 NQOs (each option gives Marti the right to purchase 14 shares of stock for $10 per share) at the time Marti started working when the stock price was $7 per share. When the share price was $16 per share, Marti exercised all of her options. Eighteen months later she sold all of the shares for $21 per share. What is the amount of Marti's bargain element
Answer:
$924
Explanation:
Bargain element per share = Market price at exercise - Exercise price
Bargain element per share = $16 per share - $10 per share
Bargain element per share = $6 per share
Amount of bargain element = Bargain element per share * (Number of options * Number of shares per option)
Amount of bargain element = $6 per share * (11 options * 14 shares per option)
Amount of bargain element = $6 per share * 154 shares
Amount of bargain element = $924
So therefore, the amount of Marti's bargain element is $924

= 900 + 1,400 + 98,000 + 12,000 + 3,600 + 13,000 + 6,000 + 43,000
= $177,900
A company used straight-line depreciation for an item of equipment that cost $16,950, had a salvage value of $4,200, and had a five-year useful life. After depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,860 and its total useful life was increased from 5 years to 6 years. Determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the machine during each of the remaining years of its useful life:
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $2,480
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Purchase price= $16,950
Useful life= 5 years
Residual value= $4,200
First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3.
Annual depreciation= (Total Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (16,950 - 4,200) / 5
Annual depreciation= $2,550
Accumulated depreciation= 2,550*3= $7,650
Now, we can calculate the new depreciation expense:
Depreciable value= 16,950 - 7,650= $9,300
Useful life= 3 years
Salvage value= $1,860
Annual depreciation= (9,300 - 1,860) / 3
Annual depreciation= $2,480
Swifty Corporation uses a periodic inventory system. Details for the inventory account for the month of January 2022 are as follows: Units Per unit price Total Balance, 1/1/2022 230$4.00$920 Purchase, 1/15/2022 110..4.00440 Purchase, 1/28/2022 110..4.20462 An end of the month (1/31/2022) inventory showed that 180 units were on hand. If the company uses LIFO, what is the value of the ending inventory
Answer:
The value of the ending inventory is $720.
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:
Units Per unit price Total
Balance, 1/1/2022 230 $4.00 $920
Purchase, 1/15/2022 110 4.00 440
Purchase, 1/28/2022 110 4.20 462
The explanation of the question is now given as follows:
Last In, First Out (LIFO) refers to an inventory method in which the last item of inventory to arrive the store are sold first before the inventory that arrived earlier.
Periodic LIFO implies that the latest costs inventory are removed from inventory at the end of each period.
The value of the ending inventory can be calculated as follows:
Total units available for sales = 230 + 110 + 110 = 450
Total units sold = 450 - 180 = 270
Since total units sold is 270 and the company uses periodic LIFO, this implies that all the 110 units purchased on 1/28/2022 are sold first followed by all the 110 units purchased on 1/15/2022. The addition gives 220 units. The remaining 50 units are sold from the balance on 1/1/2022.
The implication of the above is that 180 units ending inventory is part of the balance on 1/1/2022. Therefore, the 180 units ending inventory will be valued at $4.00 price per unit of the balance on 1/1/2022 as follows:
Value of the ending inventory = 180 * $4.00 = $720
Therefore, the value of the ending inventory is $720.
