Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Pretax financial income = $850,000
add:
1. Life Insurance for officers 13,000
2. Interest on Iowa bonds (4,000)
Excess Depreciation (30,700) ($92,100 - $61,405)
Non-tax allowed warranties 45,000 ($55,000 - $10,000)
Adjusted pre-tax income $873,300
Income tax expense (30%) $261,990
Depreciation Excess/Differences:
Equipment cost = $307,000
Depreciation with straight line (5 years)
Annual accounting depreciation expense = $61,400 ($307,000/5)
Annual taxation depreciation expense = $92,100 ($307,000 * 30%)

Coronado Industries had 309000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2020. No common stock was issued during 2021. On January 1, 2021, Coronado issued 195000 shares of nonconvertible preferred stock. During 2021, Coronado declared and paid $92000 cash dividends on the common stock and $80000 on the preferred stock. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $621000. What should be Coronado's 2021 earnings per common share
Answer: $1.75
Explanation:
Number of shares issued = 309000
Net income = $621,000
Cash dividend paid on preferred stock = $80000
Coronado's 2021 earnings per common share will then be:
= (Net income - Cash dividend) / Shares issued
= (621000 - 80000) / 309000
= 541000/309000
= $1.75
Company A Company B Market Value of Equity $400,000 $600,000 Market Value of Debt $100,000 $800,000 Cost of Equity 9% 9% Cost of Debt 3% 4% Tax Rate 35% 35% Based solely on their current weighted average cost of capital, which company should pursue an investment opportunity with an expected return of 6.5%
Answer:
Company B should pursue the investment
Explanation:
To determine a profitable investment opportunity to pursue, we would compare the weighted average cost of capital WACC to the expected return on the investment opportunity. An investment return greater than the cost of capital implies a profitable investment and vice versa
The weighted average cost of capital (WAAC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
Lets first work the after tax cost of debt for the companies:
After tax- cost of debt = cost of debt × (1-tax rate)
Company A= 3%× (1-35%) = 1.95%
Company B = 4%× (1-35%)= 2.6%
WACC coy A= 9%× (4/4+1) + 1.95% × 1/(4+1) = 7.6%
WACC coy B= 9%× (6/6+8) + 2.6% × 8/(6+8) = 5.3%
Company B has a cost of capital of 5.3% which represents the minimum
return required by by the providers of capital. An investment an expected return of 6.% appears profitable as it is greater than the company's cost of fund of 5.3%
Company B should pursue the investment

Refer to Table 28-2. The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 was
O a. 88.9%.
O b. 53.3%
O c. 50%.
O d. 56.25%.
Answer: 56.25%
Explanation:
The labor force participation rate refers to the active workforce of a country. The following information can be derived from the question:
Adult population = 3200
Number of employed = 1600
Number of unemployed = 200
The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 will be:
= {(Number of employed + Number of unemployed) / Adult population} × 100
= (1600 + 200) / 3200 × 100
= 1800/3200 × 100
= 0.5625 × 100
= 56.25%
Assume that apples cost $0.60 in 2002 and $1 in 2009, whereas oranges cost $1 in 2002 and $0.70 in 2009.

None of the above
Answer: 91.67
Explanation:
Consumer Price Index₂₀₀₂ = ( Basket Price in Year of interest₂₀₀₂ / Basket Price in Base year₂₀₀₉) * 100
Basket Price in 2002 = (10 * 0.6) + (5 * 1)
= $11
Basket Price in 2009 = (5 * 1) + (10 * 0.7)
= $12
Consumer Price index = 11/12 * 100
= 91.67
Reid Company is budgeting production of 100,000 units of product R for the month of September this year. Production of one unit of product R requires three units of material B. For material B, the actual inventory units at September 1 were 22,000 units and budgeted inventory units at September 30 are 24,000. How many units of material B is Reid planning to purchase during September?
Answer:
Purchases= 302,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 100,000 units
Production of one unit of product R requires three units of material B.
For material B:
Beginning inventory= 22,000
Desired inventory= 24,000
To calculate the purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 100,000*3 + 24,000 - 22,000
Purchases= 302,000 units

= $1,330,000 - $560,000
= $770,000
Hence, the total common fixed expense is $770,000

If a company has goodwill on its books, the goodwill:
Goodwill is an intangible asset (an asset that's non-physical but offers long-term value) that arises when another company acquires a new business. Goodwill refers to the purchase cost, minus the fair market value of the tangible assets, the liabilities, and the intangible assets that you're able to identify.
How does goodwill affect a company?Goodwill has a major impact on value because it reduces the risk that a business' profitability will falter after it changes hands. That goodwill value is simply calculated as the difference between the purchase price of the business and the fair market value of the tangible assets included in the sale.

Variable production costs 960,000
Sales commissions: 15% of sales 240,000
Salaries of line supervisors 195,000
Traceable fixed advertising expense 180,000
Fixed general factory overhead (allocated to
products on the basis of square feet occupied170,000
Total costs 1,745,000
Net loss ($145,000)
Bingham Company anticipates no change in the operating results for Product J in the foreseeable future if the product is produced. Bingham is re-examining all of its products and is trying to decide whether to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Product J. The company's total fixed factory overhead cost would not be affected by this decision.
Assume that discontinuing Product J would result in a $100,000 increase in the contribution margin of other product lines. How many units of Product J would have to be sold next year for the company to be as well off as if it just dropped Product J and enjoyed the increase in contribution margin from other products?
a. 15,500 units.
b. 11,875 units.
c. 16,125 units.
d. 2,500 units.
Answer:
Bingham Company
c. 16,125 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales: 10,000 units at $160 each $1,600,000
Less costs:
Variable production costs 960,000
Sales commissions: 15% of sales 240,000
Salaries of line supervisors 195,000
Traceable fixed advertising expense 180,000
Fixed general factory overhead, allocated to
products on the basis of square feet occupied 170,000
Total costs 1,745,000
Net loss ($145,000)
Variable costs:
Variable production costs $960,000
Sales commissions: 15% of sales 240,000
Total variable costs = $1,200,000
Unit variable cost = $120 ($1,200,000/10,000)
Contribution per unit = $40 ($160 - $120)
Total fixed costs:
Salaries of line supervisors 195,000
Traceable fixed advertising expense 180,000
Fixed general factory overhead, allocated to
products on the basis of square feet occupied 170,000
Total fixed costs = $545,000
Target contribution 100,000
(Traceable fixed cost + Target contribution)/Contribution margin
= $645,000/$40
= 16,125

Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be 20,300 pounds
A US company makes furniture and uses large amounts of exotic woods. How will quotas on imported wood affect he price of the product and the
marketing plans?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
A quota is simply referred to as a limited quantity of a product that can either be produced in a country or imported or exported under official controls. A quota is usually done to limit importation of goods and encourage local production.
Since the US company makes use of large amount of exotic goods which are usually imported, this will bring about a reduction in the supply of furniture as there'll be decrease in wood.
This will hence lead to an increase in price of the available furniture. This will certainly have a negative effect on the marketing plan of the company.

The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 3.30 million of its outstanding shares at $17.50 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13.50 million, the fiber technology division for $9.25 million, and the synthetic products division for $23 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.40 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3.30 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 12 times earnings per share.
Required:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
This will be calculated as:
= Price per share × Number of shares
= $17.50 × 3.3 million
= $57.75 million
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
This will be calculated as:
= $13.5 Million + $9.25 Million + $23 Million + [(12 X $ 1.40) × 3.3 Million]
= $45.75 Million + $55.44 Million
= $101.19 Million
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
This will be calculated as:
= {$101.19 Million - $57.75 Million} /$57.75 Million
= $43.44/$57.75 × 100
= 0.7522 × 100
= 75.22%

The variable costing unit product cost was:
Answer:
Unitary variable production cost= $66
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 38
Direct labor $ 20
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8
Variable selling and administrative expense $ 4
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary variable production cost= 38 + 20 + 8
Unitary variable production cost= $66
Ecology Co. sells a biodegradable product called Dissol and has predicted the following sales for the first four months of the current year: Jan. Feb. March April Sales in units 1,700 1,900 2,100 1,600 Ending inventory for each month should be 20% of the next month's sales, and the December 31 inventory is consistent with that policy. How many units should be purchased in February
Answer:
Purchases - February = 1940 units
Explanation:
To calculate the units to be purchased in February, we first need to calculate the opening and closing inventory for the month of February. We know that the closing inventory each month is equal to 20% of next month's sale, so we can calculate the closing inventory for January (which will be opening inventory for February) as,
Opening Inventory - February = 20% * 1900 => 380 units
We can also calculate the ending inventory for February by using the expected sales of March.
Closing Inventory - February = 20% * 2100 => 420 units
The purchases for February can be calculated as follows,
Units Sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
1900 = 380 + Purchases - 420
1900 + 420 - 380 = Purchases
Purchases = 1940 units
