Laramie Trucking's CEO is considering a change to the company's capital structure, which currently consists of 25% debt and 75% equity. The CFO believes the firm should use more debt, but the CEO is reluctant to increase the debt ratio. The risk-free rate, rRF, is 5.0%, the market risk premium, RPM, is 6.0%, and the firm's tax rate is 25%. Currently, the cost of equity, rs, is 11.5% as determined by the CAPM. What would be the estimated cost of equity if the firm used 60% debt?A) 10.95%.
B) 11.91%.C) 12.94%.D) 14.07%.E) 15.29%.
Answer:
Re = 15.29%
Explanation:
beta at current debt level:
11.5% = 5% + (beta x 6%)
6.5% = 6%beta
beta = 6.5% / 6 = 1.083
unlevered beta = 1.083 / {1 + [(1 - tax rate) x debt / equity]} = 1.083 / {1 + [(1 - 40%) x 25 / 75]} = 1.083 / 1.2 = 0.9025
cost of levered beta at 60% debt:
0.9025 = beta / {1 + [(1 - 40%) x 60 / 40]}
0.9025 x 1.9 = beta
beta = 1.7148
Re = 5% + (1.7148 x 6%) = 15.29%

D. GM has limited bargaining power in the tire market, which lowers tire prices.
E. Walmart has significant bargaining power over its suppliers, which decreases the profitability of the suppliers.
Answer: E. Walmart has significant bargaining power over its suppliers, which decreases the profitability of the suppliers.
Explanation:
Walmart as buyers have significant bargaining power over their suppliers because they are quite large in size and therefore buy in bulk.
As a result of this, they can negotiate prices with suppliers that favor them not the suppliers which will decrease the profitability of the suppliers who would be compelled to sell to Walmart because of how much of their goods Walmart can buy.

Answer:
1.87%
Explanation:
Based on the above information, the formula for Quick ratio is
= ( Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivables ) / Current liabilities
Where;
Cash = $15,673
Marketable securities = $31,804
Accounts receivables = $69,135
Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Accrued liabilities + Notes payable
= $34,234 + $6,513 + $21,712
= $62,459
Quick ratio
= ($15,673 + $31,804 + $69,135) / $62,459
= $116,612 / $62,459
= 1.87%

The Intramural Sports Club reports sales revenue of $578,000. Inventory at both the beginning and end of the year totals $110,000. The inventory turnover ratio for the year is 3.9.
What amount of gross profit does the company report in its income statement?
Answer:
$363,500
Explanation:
Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold.
In the case
Revenue = $578,000.
The Cost of Goods Sold: COGS
Inventory turn over = COGS/ Average turnover
Average turnover = Opening stock + closing stock/2
In this case Opening stock + Closing stock = $110,000
Average turnover = $110,000 /2 =$55,000
Therefore:
3.9 = COGS/$55,000
COGS = $55,000 x 3.9
COGS =$214,500
Gross profit = $578,000 - $214,500
Gross profit = $363,500
Given the same demand and cost conditions, a revenue maximizing hospital will: a. Charge a higher price and produce more medical care than a profit maximizing hospital b. Charge a higher price and produce more medical care than an output maximizing hospital c. Charge a higher price and produce less medical care than an output maximizing hospital d. Charge a higher price and produce less medical care than a profit maximizing hospital
Answer:
c. Charge a higher price and produce less medical care than an output maximizing hospital
Explanation:
A revenue maximising firm's goal is to make the highest possible profit while the goal of an output maximising firm is to produce the highest possible number of output.
So, for a a revenue maximizing hospital, price would be higher but it would produce less medical care due to the law of demand.
The law of demand says the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
While for the output maximising hospital, it would produce more output and charge a lower price than a revenue maximizing hospital
Sue invested $5,000 in the ABC Limited Partnership and received a 10 percent interest in the partnership. The partnership had $20,000 of debt she is not responsible to repay because she is a limited partner. Sue is allocated a 10 percent share of the debt resulting in a tax basis of $7,000 and an at-risk amount of $5,000. During the year, ABC LP generated a ($70,000) loss. How much of Sue's loss is disallowed due to her tax basis or at-risk amount
Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How much of the Sue's loss is disallowed due to her tax basis or at-risk amount
Based on the information given we were told that that Sue is been allocated a 10% of the debt which resulted in a tax basis of the amount of $7,000 as well as an at-risk amount of $5,000 which means that the amount that the Sue's loss will be disallowed due to her tax basis Amount or at-risk amount will be calculated as :
Using this formula
Disallowed Sue's loss=Tax basis-At-risk amount
Let plug in the formula
Disallowed Sue's loss=$7,000-$5,000

Budgeting, ethics, pharmaceutical company. Chris Jackson was recently promoted to Controller of Research and Development for BrisC or, a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company that manufactures prescription drugs and nutritional supplements. The company’s total R& ; D cost for 2017 was expected (budgeted) to be $5 billion. During the company’s midyear budget review, Chris realized that current R& ; D expenditures were already at $3.5 billion, nearly 40% above the midyear target. At this current rate of expenditure, the R& ; D division was on track to exceed its total year-end budget by $2 billion!
In a meeting with CFO Ronald Meece later that day, Jackson delivered the bad news. Meece was both shocked and outraged that the R&D spending had gotten out of control. Meece wasn’t any more understanding when Jackson revealed that the excess cost was entirely related to research and development of a new drug, Vyacon, which was expected to go to market next year. The new drug would result in large profits for BrisCor, if the product could be approved by year-end. Meece had already announced his expectations of third-quarter earnings to Wall Street analysts. If the R&D expenditures weren’t reduced by the end of the third quarter, Meece was certain that the targets he had announced publicly would be missed and the company’s stock price would tumble. Meece instructed Jackson to make up the budget shortfall by the end of the third quarter using "whatever means necessary." Jackson was new to the controller’s position and wanted to make sure that Meece’s orders were followed. Jackson came up with the following ideas for making the third-quarter budgeted targets:
1. Stop all research and development efforts on the drug Vyacon until after year-end. This change would delay the drug going to market by at least 6 months. It is possible that in the meantime a BrisCor competitor could make it to market with a similar drug.
2. Sell off rights to the drug Martek. The company had not planned on doing this because, under current market conditions, it would get less than fair value. It would, however, result in a one-time gain that could offset the budget shortfall. Of course, all future profits from Martek would be lost. Capitalize some of the company’s R&D expenditures, reducing R&D expense on the income statement. This transaction would not be in accordance with GAAP, but Jackson thought it was justifiable because the Vyacon drug was going to market early next year. Jackson would argue that capitalizing R&D costs this year and expensing them next year would better match revenues and expenses.
3. Referring to the "Standards of Ethical Behavior for Practitioners of Management Accounting and Financial Management,"
4. Which of the preceding items are acceptable to use? Which are unacceptable? What would you recommend Jackson do?
Answer:
BrisCor
Budgeting, ethics, pharmaceutical company
a. Referring to the "Standards of Ethical Behavior for Practitioners of Management Accounting and Financial Management,"
none of the preceding items are acceptable to use.
b. I would recommend Jackson to go ahead with the R&D throughout the year to ensure that the drug Vyacon was successfully brought to the market next year before the competitor. He can try to keep to the budget going forward. A budget remains a budget and not the actual. Budget overrun can result. What is important is its effectiveness in achieving business goals.
Explanation:
The announced expectations of third-quarter earnings to Wall Street analysts should not prevent the R&D on the drug Vyacon from continuing, provided Jackson is certain that the envisaged success would be attained. They remain expectations. They are not the actual results of operations for the year. Even if the company's stock price would tumble, it would still recover after the drug had received approval and gone to market, raking in large profits. After all, the projected increase in R&D cost might not result, and the drug Vyacon could be fully developed and ready for the market before year-end, thereby not exceeding its budget.
In 2017, Kerry Corp's financial statement showed accrued losses on disposal of unused plant facilities of $3,600,000. The facilities were sold in December 2018 and a $3,600,000 loss was recognized for tax purposes then. Also in 2018, Kerry Corp's paid $150,000 for a two-year life insurance policy for their CEO Kerry, and the company was the beneficiary. Assuming that the enacted tax rate is 35% in both 2017 and 2018.
Question: the amount reported as net deferred income taxes on Kerry's balance sheet at December 31, 2017 should be an asset or liability?

Explanation:
The amount that Kerry Corp should report is as follows:
Amount to be reported = $3,600,000 * 35% = $1,260,000 asset.
Deferred tax arises because of temporary differences which results in future deductible amount. Future deductible amount leads to reduce taxable income and will provide future economic benefits of the company.
Alma, a sales associate, receives a 20% employee discount. Because she was the top sales associate of the month, Alma was given an additional 10% discount for the month of March. During March, Alma purchased a pair of running shoes for $89.50, a running suit for $129.99, two pairs of socks at $4.00 each and a t-shirt for $21.50. What was the dollar amount of Alma's purchases, including a 7.5% sales tax
Answer:
$187.365
Explanation:
Alma Purchases
Shoes $89.5
Running Suit $129.99
Socks 2 Paris $8
T-Shirts $21.5
Total purchase $248.99
Less: Discount $74.697 [30% * $248.99{
Less: Sales Tax $13.07198 {7.5% * $248.99}
Total Amount $187.365
Thus, the dollar amount of Alma's purchases, including a 7.5% sales tax is $187.365.
The dollar amount of Alma's purchases is $187.365.
What are purchases?In accounting, Purchases refer to the cost of buying goods or inventory during a period for the purpose of further production or resale. The amount of net purchases is calculated by adjusting the returns and discounts.
The total purchases of Alma will be:
[tex]\rm Total \:purchases = Running\: shoes + Running \:suit + Socks +T-shirt \\\\\rm Total \:purchases= \$89.50 + 129.99 + (\$4.00 \times 2) + \$21.50\\\\\rm Total \:purchases = \$248.99[/tex]
The amount of discount will be 30% of total purchases:
[tex]\rm Discount = Total\:purchases \times Rate\\\\\rm Discount = \$248.99 \times 30\%\\\\\rm Discount = \$74.697[/tex]
The sales tax amount will be:
[tex]\rm Sales \:tax = Total purchases \times Rate\\\\\rm Sales\: tax = 248.99 \times 7.5\%\\\\\rm Sales\: tax =\$18.67425[/tex]
Therefore the net purchase after sales tax will be:
[tex]\rm Net\:purchases = Total\:purchases - Discount - Sales\:tax \\\\\rm Net\:purchases = \$248.99 - \$74.697- \$18.67425\\\\\rm Net\:purchases = \$$187.365[/tex]

Mary invested $20,000 to open a bakery business. The cost of making one muffin is $1. Assuming that the sales reach 1000 pieces, she wishes to earn 10% as a return on investment. What is the target return price of product?
The target return price will be $
Answer:
The target return price will be $2
Explanation:
From the information given,
For the muffin product:

Note payable, 10%, 3-year = $6,380,000 Interest = $638,000
Note payable, 11%, 4-year = $12,650,000 Interest = $1,391,500
Total interest for Swifty Corporation = $2,418,300
b) Computation of interests:
12% note = $3,240,000 * 12% = $388,800
10% note = $6,380,000 * 10% = $638,000
11% note = $12,650,000 * 11% = $1,391,500
An important first step in adapting a product to a foreign market is to determine the Group of answer choices personal ethics of individuals in the target market. language problem of the intended market. product's compliancy to irrational beliefs of its potential foreign consumers. regional political parties present in the domestic market. degree of newness of the product as perceived by the intended market.
Answer:
degree of newness of the product as perceived by the intended market.
Explanation:
As the new product is in the market so the willing of the consumers are to evaluate the production that depends upon the product newness in the market
The other options are incorrect as if the evaluation of the consumers depend upon the irrational beliefs so it would not be intended to purchased
Therefore the last option is correct
hence, the same is to be considered
Read the two statements and decide if they are true or false (I) Classical economists believe that prices are inflexible and that demand creates supply, so we should focus on increasing spending and stimulating aggregate demand to boost the economy out of a recession. (II) Keynesian economists believe that prices are flexible and that supply creates demand, and so we should focus on production rather than just increased spending.
Answer:
Both I and II are false
Explanation:
In the given situation, the condition should be reversed that means The Keynesian economists said that demand created the supply while on the other hand as per the classical economist it said that the supply created the demand
Therefore as per the given situation, both the statements are false as the reversion of the conditions are given in the question
The same is to be considered
The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year: Beginning inventory 8 units at $49 First purchase 15 units at $51 Second purchase 27 units at $53 Third purchase 14 units at $55 The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 26 units of the item were sold. The value of ending inventory rounded to the nearest dollar using average cost is (Round average cost per unit to three decimal place.)
Answer:
$1,994
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:
But before that the average cost is
= Total amount of purchased ÷ total units available
= (8 units × $49 + 15 units × $51 + 27 units × $53 + 14 units × $55) ÷ (8 units + 15 units + 27 units + 14 units)
= ($392 + $765 + $1,431 + $770) ÷ (64 units)
= $52.469
Now the ending inventory units is
= 64 units - 26 units
= 38 units
So, the ending inventory is
= 38 units × $52.469
= $1,994
Smart Industries leases equipment on January 1, 2016. The finance lease has an 11-year term, and an implicit rate of 5%. The equipment has a list price of $300,000 and the lease agreement requires a $20,000 down payment when the lease is signed plus 10 annual payments of $36,261.28 on December 31 of each year of the lease. After Smart Industries makes its payment on December 31, 2018, what is its remaining lease obligation (carrying value) for the equipment
Answer:
$234,364.37
Explanation:
Lease obligation = Present value of remaining Lease payment
Present Value Of An Annuity = C*[1-(1+i)^-n]/i]
Present Value of Annuity = $36261.28 * [1-(1+0.05)^-8 /0.05]
Present Value of Annuity = $36261.28 * [1-(1.05)^-8 /0.05]
Present Value of Annuity = $36261.28 * [(0.3232)] /0.05
Present Value of Annuity = $234,364.37
Hence, its remaining lease obligation (carrying value) for the equipment is $234,364.37
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: Twenty thousand pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.35 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 4,000 units of Zoom. 750 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $14,925. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following can be derived from the question:
Actual quantity = 20,000 pounds
Actual price = $2.35
Standard price = $2.50 per unit
Actual hours = 750 hours.
The standard quantity will be calculated as:
= 4,000 units × 4.6
= 18,400 pounds
The Actual rate will be calculated as:
= Total labor cost / Actual hours
= $14,925 / 750
= $19.90
Standard hours will be:
= 0.2 hours × 4,000 units
= 800 hours.
Standard rate = $18 per hour
1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month.
Material price variance:
= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
= (20,000 × $2.35) - (20,000 × $2.50)
= 47000 - 50000
= -3000
Material quantity variance:
= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)
= (20,000 × $2.50) - (18,400 × $2.50)
= 50,000 - 46000
= 4000
2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Labor rate variance:
= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)
= ($750 × $19.90) - (750 × $18)
= 14925 - 13500
= 1425
Labor efficiency variance:
= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)
= (750 × $18) - (800 × $18)
= 13500 - 14400
= 900

A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $320,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced. Product Pounds Price per pound Feed 100,000 $ 1.60 Flour 72,000 2.50 Starch 40,000 1.50 How much of the $320,000 cost should be allocated to flour if the value basis is used
Answer:
the cost that should be allocated to flour is $144,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Particulars Total value
Feed (100,000 × $1.60) = $160,000
Flour (72,000 × $2.50) = $180,000
Starch (40,000 × $1.50) = $60,000
Total $400,000
Now the allocation made to flour is
= $180,000 ÷ $400,000 × $320,000
= $144,000
Hence, the cost that should be allocated to flour is $144,000
An accountant of a business needs to prepare an income statement, statement of equity (retained earnings), cash flow statement, and .
Answer:
Balance Sheet
Explanation:
At the end of a financial year, the accountant needs to prepare the income statement, cash flow statement, equity (retained earnings), and balance sheet statement. Each of these statements relates to a company's financial performance and status.
The income statement reports the total profit or losses that the business has made in the financial period.The cash flow statement records and tracts the movement of cash in and out of business. It shows cash balances at the end of the period.The equity statement indicates the changes, if any, on retained earnings in that period.The balance sheet reports the values of assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of a period. Its preparation is guided by the accounting equation that assets equal liabilities plus equity.Mohamed income elasticity for good A is equal to -1.5. His current income is Br.40, 000 per year and he buys 200 units of good A annually. If his income falls to Br.36, 000 how many units of good A will he purchase?

If an economist is a proponent of free trade amongst nations, what would be concerning about the proliferation of regional trade agreements?
A. The nations involved with regional trade agreements make the economies more independent from each other.
B. Regional trade agreements may restrict trade from outside of the regions in the agreement.
C. Terms of regional trade agreements often conflict with agreements of the Anti- Tariff Act.
Answer: B. Regional trade agreements may restrict trade from outside of the regions in the agreement.
Explanation:
Regional trade agreement is a form of trade agreement usually between two or more countries in a particular region which will allow for easy movement of goods between the borders of that particular region. Examples are North American Free Trade Agreement, European Union etc.
If an economist is a proponent of free trade amongst nations, the economist will be worried that the proliferation of regional trade agreements may restrict trade from outside of the regions in the agreement. This is because there'll only be free trade for the countries that are in that particular region.
