Allen Corporation has provided the following information: Cash sales totaled $120,000. Credit sales totaled $209,000. Cash collections from customers for services yet to be provided totaled $38,000. Interest income totaled $7,700. Interest expense totaled $14,000 Required: How much of these items should be included in calculating operating income
Answer and Explanation:
The Interest Income and Interest Expense would not be considered while determining the operating income
The cash collections from customers would be treated to be an unearned revenue so the same would be deduted from the sales
The Cash Sales would be
= $120,000 - $38,000
= $82,000.
And, the Credit Sales would be $209,000.
SO, the Total Sales is
= $82,000 + $209,000
= $291,000.
The Unearned Revenue of $38,000 would be shown in the Current Liabilities section of the Balance Sheet.

A newly formed company purchases investments classified as available-for-sale securities at a cost of $13,000. At the end of the year, the market value of the securities was $11,000. The financial statements at the end of the year would show which of the following?
A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet
B. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
C. Income Statement loss of $2,000 Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
D. Loss of $2,000 on the income statement Temporary investments of $11,000 on the balance sheet
Answer: A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.
Explanation:
Available-For-Sale (AFS) securities are not to have their gains or losses reflected in the income statement. They are to be reflected in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) section of the Stockholders Equity.
If there is a loss, the AFS security is written down by the loss amount which is then transferred to the OCI section of equity as an unrealized loss. It will reduce the OCI which would reduce the stockholders equity.
In this case therefore, AFS would go to $11,000 and OCI would record an unrealized loss of $2,000.
Collins Co. produces 10,000 units of sewing machines annually. Per unit data are given below: Selling price $150 Direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead 60 Fixed manufacturing overhead 30 Variable selling and administrative expenses 40 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 10 The company has received a special, one-time-only order for 400 units of the product with a selling price of $100. There would be a 60% reduction in variable selling and administrative expenses on this special order. In addition, total fixed manufacturing overhead and total fixed selling and administrative expenses of the company would not be affected by the order. If Collins Co. accepts the order, it will have no effect on other customers. What is the financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the special order
Answer:
$9,600 Financial advantage
Explanation:
Variable Cost per unit for special order = $60 + $40*40%
Variable Cost per unit for special order = $60 + $16
Variable Cost per unit for special order = $76
The financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the special order = Sales Revenue from special offer - Variable Cost Cost for special offers
= $100*400 units - $76*400 units
= $40,000 - $30,400
= $9,600 Financial advantage (Disadvantage).

The management of Lanzilotta Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $191,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $108,000, which includes depreciation of $21,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $26,200. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to :___________
Answer:
1 year 5 month
Explanation:
The Project Cash flow Summary is as follows :
Year 0 = -$191,000
Year 1 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 2 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 3 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 4 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 5 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000
Year 6 = $108,000 + $21,000 + $26,200 = $155,200
Payback Period is the term used to determine how long the future cash flows would equal the amount invested.
$191,000 = $129,000 + 62,000/ $129,000 x 12
The future cash flows will equal $191,000 in 1 year 5 months.
A dwelling with a replacement cost of $150,000 was insured under a Homeowners 3 policy for $105,000 at the time the roof was destroyed by a windstorm. The actual cash value of the loss was $10,000, but it will cost $15,000 to replace the roof. Ignoring any deductible, what will the insurer pay to settle this loss
Answer: $13125
Explanation:
The amount that the insurer will pay to settle this loss will be calculated thus:
= Insured claim × Insurance value / 80% of replacement value
= 15000 × 105,000 /80% × 150000.
= 15000 × 105,000 / 120000
= 13125
Therefore, the insurer will pay $13125

Cal Poly Corporation would like to start a new project: building a high-tech rose float for the next regional contest. This rose float project will require $35,000 in the initial cost. The company is planning to raise this amount of money by selling new corporate bonds and new stocks. It has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, and 40 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock is 7%, and for new debt it is 4%.
(a) The true required initial investment that Cal Poly Corporation should use in its valuation of the rose is:_____.
1. $36,920.
2. $36,820.
3. $35,000.
4. $33,180.
(b) The lower the flotation costs, the lower the initial investment that needs to be used in project valuation, and so the lower the project's Net Present Value. This statement is____.
1. True
2. False
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a.
Given that
Weight of Equity = 0.4
Weight of Debt = 0.6
The Flotation cost of Capital = Weight of Equity × Flotation cost of Equity + Weight of Debt × Flotation cost of Debt
= 7 × 0.4 + 4 × 0.6
= 5.2
Now
True cost is
= initial investment ÷ (1 - flotation cost %)
= $35,000 ÷ (1 - 0.052)
= $36,920
b
In the case when there is a less flotation cost so it would decreased the initial investment due to this there would be an increase in net present value
hence, the given statement is false
Rock Adventures has 15 employees each working 40 hours per week and earning $30 an hour. Federal income taxes are withheld at 15% and state income taxes at 6%. FICA taxes are 7.65% and unemployment taxes are 3.8% of the first $7,000 earned per employee. What is the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January
Answer:
the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843
Explanation:
The computation of the actual direct deposit payroll is shown below;
= Total salary - withholdings
= (15 × 40 × $30) - Federal income tax - state income tax - FICA tax
= $18,000 - ($18,000 × 0.15) - ($18,000 × 0.06) - ($18,000 × 7.65%)
= $12,843
Hence, the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843
Basically we applied the above formula
the wacc approach to valuation is not as useful as the apv approach in leveraged buyouts because: the capital structure is changing. there is no tax shield with the wacc. the value of the levered and unlevered firms are equal. the unlevered and levered cash flows are separated which cannot be used with the wacc approach. there is greater risk with a lbo.
Answer:
the capital structure is changing
Explanation:
As we know that wacc approach used to determined the cost of capital by taking the cost and weightage of the capital structure i.e. debt, equity and the preferred stock The same would not be useful for the valuation purpose as the apv approach in the leveraged buyouts because the capital structure i.e. debt, equity and the preferred stock keeps changing
It does not remian constant
Therefore the same would be considered
On October 1, 2020, Adams Company paid $4,800 for a one-year insurance policy with the insurance coverage beginning on that date.

the total surface area of hemisphere is 4158sq then what is the circumference of the base
Answer:
C = 132 units
Explanation:
Given the following data;
TSA of hemisphere = 4158 sq units
To find the circumference of the base;
Mathematically, the total surface area of a hemisphere is given by the formula;
TSA of hemisphere = 3πr²
First of all, we would determine the radius of the hemisphere.
4158 = 3 * 22/7 * r²
Cross-multiplying, we have;
4158 * 7 = 3 * 22 * r²
29106 = 66r²
r² = 29106/66
r² = 441
Taking the square root of both sides, we have;
r = √441
r = 21 units
Next, we determine the circumference of the base using the same radius;
Circumference of circle, C = 2πr
C = 2 * 22/7 * 21
C = 924/7
C = 132 units
Being Human, Inc., recently issued new securities to finance a new TV show. The project cost $14.6 million, and the company paid $785,000 in flotation costs. In addition, the equity issued had a flotation cost of 7.6 percent of the amount raised, whereas the debt issued had a flotation cost of 3.6 percent of the amount raised. If the company issued new securities in the same proportion as its target capital structure, what is the company’s target debt-equity ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer: 1.6631
Explanation:
The company’s target debt-equity ratio will be calculated thus:
Let's assume x = equity
Let's assume (1-x) = debt
Total funds needed = $14,600,000 + $785,000 = $15,385,000
Then, we calculate the flotation which will be:
15,385,000 × (1 - f) = 14,600,000
15,385,000 - 15,385,000f = 14,600,000
-15,385,000f = 14,600,000 - 15385000
- 15,385,000f = -785,000
f = -785000 / -15385000
f = 0.05102
Then,
(7.6% × x) + (3.6% × 1-x) = 0.05102
(0.076 × x) + (0.036 × 1-x) = 0.05102
0.076x + 0.036 - 0.036x = 0.05102
0.076x - 0.036x = 0.05102 - 0.036
0.04x = 0.01502
x = 0.01502/0.04
x = 0.3755
Equity = 0.3755 = 3.755%
Debt = 1-x = 1 - 0.3755 = 0.6245
Debt equity ratio = Debt / Equity
= 0.6245/0.3755
= 1.6631
The debt-equity ratio is 1.6631.
Turrubiates Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following standards: Standard quantity 7.5 liters per unit Standard price $ 2.00 per liter Standard cost $ 15.00 per unit The company budgeted for production of 3,300 units in April, but actual production was 3,400 units. The company used 26,200 liters of direct material to produce this output. The company purchased 19,600 liters of the direct material at $2.1 per liter. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for April is:
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity 7.5 liters per unit Standard price $ 2.00 per liter
Actual production was 3,400 units.
The company used 26,200 liters of direct material.
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (7.5*3,400 - 26,200)*2
Direct material quantity variance= (25,500 - 26,200)*2
Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable

C) move the economy up along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. A) shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the left.
Answer: A) shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the left.
Explanation:
The oil and natural gas refining capacity in the Gulf of Mexico was destroyed which means that facilities in the Gulf will be unable to supply natural gas, gasoline and heating oil.
These are all very important commodities in the market and drive a lot of production. With the supply of these commodities decreasing and the subsequent slow down of production in multiple industries as a result, the aggregate supply curve will shift to the left in the short run to reflect the reduction in supply of goods in the economy.

A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 36%, while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 16%. The correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is 0.30. Stock A comprises 30% of the portfolio, while stock B comprises the rest of the portfolio. What is the standard deviation of the return on this portfolio?
Answer: 17.7%
Explanation:
Standard deviation of portfolio = √(Weight of A² * Standard deviation of A² + Weight of B² * Standard deviation of B² + 2 * Weight of A * Weight of B * Correlation coefficient of A and B * Standard deviation of A * Standard deviation of B)
= √(30%² * 36%² + 70%² * 16%² + 2 * 30% * 70% * 0.30 * 36% * 16%)
= √0.0314656
= 17.7%
The company has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6%, and sells for 97% of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5%, and sells for 108% of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $3.25 and the dividend growth rate is 5%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21%. What is the company’s WACC?
A firm has three different investment options. Option A will give the firm $10 million at the end of one year, $10 million at the end of two years, and $10 million at the end of three years. Option B will give the firm $15 million at the end of one year, $10 million at the end of two years, and $5 million at the end of three years. Option C will give the firm $30 million at the end of one year, and nothing thereafter. Which of these options has the highest present value?
a. Option A
b. Option B
c. Option C
c. The depends on the rate of interest, which is not specified here
Net Present Value depends on the rate of interest, which is not specified here so we can not take any decision regarding the other options. The correct option is d.
The interest rate applied, which takes into account both the investment's risk and the time value of money, determines the present value of future cash flows. We cannot appropriately calculate the present value or compare the options without knowing the discount rate.
The future cash flows must be discounted to their present value using the proper discount rate in order to determine which option has the highest present value.
Thus, the ideal selection is option d.
