Answer:
I would recommend the project because the return is greater than 10%
Explanation:
We are to determine the internal rate of return of the project
rate of return the boss requires = (1.1 /1) - 1 = 10%
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -99200
cash flow in year 1 and 2 = 75900
IRR = 33.7%

What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021?
Answer:
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Explanation:
Total stockholders' equity
10,400 x $5.80 = $60,320
19,600 x $9.30 = $182,280
Net income (retained earnigns) = $106,000
Paid cash dividends = -$53,000
Purhcase of treasury stocks = -2,600 x $11.30 = -$29,380
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Concord Corporation manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $181. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $125 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
a. Income would increase by $23000.
b. Income would increase by $125000.
c. Income would decrease by $23000.
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Answer:
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Explanation:
Concord Corporation received a special order to sell 1,000 units at $125 each.
Incremental Sales Revenue = 1,000 * $125
Incremental Sales Revenue = $125,000
Variable Cost per unit = $100
Fixed manufacturing cost = $480,000
To produce required additional units, there will be no change in fixed manufacturing costs. So, cost to produce additional units will change on account of variable manufacturing cost only.
Incremental Cost = $100 * 1,000
Incremental Cost = $100,000
Incremental Net Income = Incremental Sales Revenue - Incremental Cost
Incremental Net Income = $125,000 - $100,000
Incremental Net Income = $25,000
Roxy Inc. issues a $1,500,000, 10%, 10-year mortgage note on December 31, 2018, to obtain financing for a new building. The terms provide for annual installment payments of $244,118. Prepare the entry to record the mortgage loan on December 31, 2018, and the first installment payment on December 31, 2019.
Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Explanation:
The journal entries will look as follows:
Date Particulars Debit ($) Credit ($)
31 Dec 2018 Cash 1,500,000
Mortgage payable 1,500,000
(To record $1,500,000, 10%, 10-year mortgage note issued.)
31 Dec 2018 Mortgage payable (w.2) 94,118
Interest exp. on Mortgage (w.1) 150,000
Cash 244,118
(To record first installment payment on mortgage note.)
Workings:
w.1. Interest expense on Mortgage = Mortgage payable * Interest rate = $1,500,000 * 10% = $150,000
w.2. Mortgage note principal repaid = Annual installment payment - w.1 = $244,118 - $150,000 = $94,118

Schnusenberg Corporation just paid a dividend of D0 = $0.75 per share, and that dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50% per year in the future. The company's beta is 0.75, the required return on the market is 10.50%, and the risk-free rate is 4.50%. What is the company's current stock price? Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $27.80 b. $33.23 c. $31.63 d. $28.76 e. $31.95
Answer:
Option E is correct
Price of share = $31.95
Explanation:
The price of the share is the future dividend discounted at the required rate of return .
The required rate of return is the cost of equity . The cost of equity is computed as follows:
Cost of equity = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf= 4.50, Rm= 10.50, β= 0,75
Ke= 4.50% + 0.75×(10.50-4.50)
Ke= 9%
Price of share = Do×(1+g)/(Ke-g)
Price of the share = 0.75 × (1.065)/(0.09-0.065)
= 31.95
Price of share = $31.95
Lily Company expects the following total sales: Month Sales March $30,000 April $20,000 May $30,000 June $25,000 The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 30% in the month of sale, 70% in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is: A. $12,240 B. $12,600 C. $20,400 D. $21,000
Answer:
B. $12,600
Explanation:
"The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash"
Credit sale for May = $30,000 * 60%
Credit sale for May = $18,000
"70% of the credit sale is collected in following month of sale"
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% of credit sale for May
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% * $18,000
Accounts receivables on 31 May = $12,600

The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet. The argument above is flawed because it confuses:_________
Answer:
The argument is confusing an average for the individuals who make up that average.
Explanation:
The argument assumes that the height of all members of the team is above 6 ft. this is flawed because it assumes that the average height is equal to the height of the members of the team
for example, there are two members in the team
assume that the height of each member is 6 ft 3 inches. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches
Assume that the height of one member is 10.6 in and jerry's height is 2.0. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches. Here Jerry's height is less than 6ft
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.3 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. Whatare the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
$2,421,220
Explanation:
Calculation to determine incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine
First step is to calculate The cost of depreciation
Cost of depreciation= $10,4000,00 + $46,000/ 5
Cost of depreciation= $2,089,200
Now let calculate the Incremental free cash flows
Incremental free cash flows = ( $3.9 million - $1,300,000) * (1 - 0.35) + $2,089,200* 0.35
Incremental free cash flows = $1,690,000 + $731,220
Incremental free cash flows=$2,421,220
Therefore the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine is $2,421,220.

Normally you will see US Labor Productivity Increasing at an annual rate of around 6%. In reading the book you should see that it must continue to increase for our country to continue to have the standard of living that we do. What seemed odd to me was that in the 3rd Quarter of 2009, while our country is in the midst of a very deep recession, this number went to 14.8%. In the 4th Quarter it dropped to 6.4% and in the 1st Quarter of this year it was at 2.5%. Why the Big Spike in the 3rd Quarter of 2009
Answer: c) Employees are fearful of losing their jobs, so they are working harder and complaining less.
Explanation:
Research has shown that during periods of recession, people tend to work harder than they do before the recession which has the effect of boosting productivity levels during that period.
The simply reason for this is, fear. In a recession, businesses come under a lot of pressure to reduce their workforce in order to save costs which leads to a rise in unemployment. Workers that are laid off are usually the unproductive ones so workers begin to put in more work during this time so that they do not get laid off.

Your child is planning attend summer camp for 3 months, starting 12 months from now. The cost for camp is $2,676 per month, each month, for the 3 months she will attend. If your investments earn 2.3% APR (compounded monthly), how much must you invest each month, starting next month, for 3 months such that your investment will grow to just cover the cost of the camp
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $2,625.16
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total cost= 2,676*3= $8,028
Monthly interest rate0 0.023/12= 0.00192
First, we need to calculate the nominal value required at the end of the third month:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
FV= 8,028
i= 0.00192
n= 9 months
PV= 8,028 / (1.00192^9)
PV= $7,890.6
Now, the monthly investment to reach $7,890.6:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (7,890.6*0.00192) / [(1.00192^3) - 1]
A= $2,625.16

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6.4*6,000 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= (38,400 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= $10,000 favorable

At the beginning of June, 6,000 diamonds were in process. During June, an additional 9,000 diamonds were started. 7,000 diamonds were completed and transferred to finished goods. As of the beginning of the month, work in process was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. As of the end of the month, work in process was 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of direct labor for June.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units are physical units expressed as a percentage of work done on then. In this case we express the physical outputs as percentage of direct labor.
Step 1: Ending Work in Process units calculation :
Ending Work in Process units = 6,000 + 9,000 - 7,000
= 8,000
Step 2 : Equivalent units of direct labor for June calculation:
Completed and transferred (7,000 x 100%) 7,000
Ending Work in Process (8,000 x 30%) 2,400
Equivalent units of production 9,400
You purchased 100 shares of Crestwood Equity Partners (CEQP) stock on the last day of April 2020 for $10.94 per share. During the month of May you received a dividend of $0.625 per share. You sold all of your Crestwood stock on the last trading day of May for $14.21 per share. Compute your percentage return for the month that you owned the stock.

I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Intermediate targets can be defined as financial and economic variables which aren't directly under the control of the Federal Reserve (central bank) but they try to use them to influence policy actions or goals within a specific period of time.
Hence, intermediate targets are financial or economic variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.

Why would a producer decide to produce in a competitive market in which she will earn zero profit in the long run? Choose one: A. Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost). B. Because the zero profit in the long run is, in fact, zero accounting profit, and it matters only in the books. C. Because in the short run, her profit is always positive. D. Because the producer has a high cost of exiting this market, and it is better for her to continue operating at zero profit.
Answer:
Option A : Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost).
Explanation:
Perfectly Competitive Market
This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.
