Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
MC Qu. 93 A company has established... A company has established 5 pounds of Material J at $3 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,500 units of this product, using 7,700 pounds of Material J that cost $21,780.The direct materials price variance is:
Answer:
$255 Favorable
Explanation:
Direct material price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual quantity
Direct material price variance = ($21,780/7,700 - $3) * 7,700
Direct material price variance = ($2.83 - $3) * 1,500
Direct material price variance = $0.17 * 1,500
Direct material price variance = $255 Favorable
If the price of a haircut is $15, the number of haircuts provided is 100. If the price rises to $30 per haircut, barbers will work much longer hours, and the supply of haircuts will increase to 300.
Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places.
The price elasticity of supply for haircuts between $15 and $30 using the mid-point method is:________.
Answer:
1.5
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of supply = midpoint change in quantity supplied / midpoint change in price
Midpoint change in quantity supplied = change in quantity supplied / average of both supply
change in quantity supplied = 300 - 100 = 200
average of both supply = (300 + 100) / 2 = 200
200 / 200 = 1
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = $30 - $15 = $15
average of both price = ($30 + $15) / 2 = $22.50
15 / 22.5 = 0.67
1 / 0.67 = 1.5
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.
Suppose during 2014, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation reported net cash provided by operating activities of $89,063,000, cash used in investing of $43,133,000, and cash used in financing of $7,359,000.

Which of the following statements is false about the order in which management determines the sequencing of support department allocations under the sequential method of allocating support department costs to production departments?
a. Departments with more employees are allocated earlier.
b. Departments serving a large number of support departments are allocated earlier.
c. Departments with higher costs are allocated earlier.
d. Departments with more accurate cost drivers are allocated earlier.
Answer: A. Departments with more employees are allocated earlier.
Explanation:
In the sequential method, it should be noted that a company allocates the service costs one department at a time. Once the service department cost is allocated by the accountants, the department won't get any other costs from the other service departments.
The statement that is false about the order in which management determines the sequencing of support department allocations under the sequential method of allocating support department costs to production departments is that the departments with more employees are allocated earlier.
Under the sequential method, the department costs that are allocated earlier include having an accurate cost drivers, having a higher cost, or having a large number of support.

Antoine transfers property with a tax basis of $535 and a fair market value of $652 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $555 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $97 on the property transferred. What is Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange
Answer: $438
Explanation:
Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange will be gotten as the adjusted basis of asset exchanged which will then be decreased by the liability assumed on the property that's transfered. This will be:
= $535 - $97
= $438
Therefore, Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange is $438.
PandemicsPlus just paid a dividend of $1.00 per share and they consistently grown dividends at 4% annually. Investors require a return of 12% on the firm's equity. What is the current value of the stock?
Answer:
$13
Explanation:
The current value of the stock can be determined using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model

Your company is considering a project that will cost $100. The project will generate after-tax cash flows of $37.50 per year for five years. The WACC is 10 percent and the firm's D/A ratio is 0.70. The flotation cost for equity is 6 percent, the flotation cost for debt is 3 percent, and your firm does not plan on issuing any preferred stock within its capital structure. If your firm follows the practice of incorporating flotation costs into the project's initial investment, what is the weighted average flotation cost for the firm
Answer:
3.9%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the weighted-average flotation cost for the firm
Using this formula
Weighted-average flotation cost =D/A ratio(Flotation cost for debt)+ Flotation cost for debt(Flotation cost for equity)
Let plug in the formula
Weighted-average flotation cost=.7(3%) + .3(6%)
Weighted-average flotation cost=.0021+.0018
Weighted-average flotation cost=.0039*100
Weighted-average flotation cost= 3.9%
Therefore the weighted-average flotation cost for the firm is 3.9%

a. The quantity demanded at a price of $10 is: _______________.
b. The quantity demanded at a price of $25 is: ___________
Answer:
8
3
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
A consumer would demand for a product as long as he can earn a positive consumer surplus
When price is 10, there is a consumer surplus for buyers A to H. buyer I, would earn a negative consumer surplus if he purchases the product. Thus, the quantity demand at that price would be 8
When price is $25, there is a consumer surplus for buyers A to C. From buyer D, buyers would have a negative consumer surplus so they would not purchase the product
Your grandparents put $11,100 into an account so that you would have spending money in college. You put the money into an account that will earn an APR of 4.37 percent compounded monthly. If you expect that you will be in college for 5 years, how much can you withdraw each month
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $206.28
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $11,100
Interest rate (i)= 0.0437/12= 0.003642
Number of periods (n)= 5*12= 60 months
To calculate the monthly withdrawal, we need to use the following formula:
Monthly withdraw= (PV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (11,100*0.003642) / [1 - (1.003642^-60)]
Monthly withdraw= $206.28
On January 1, Jorge Inc. issued $3,000,000, 8% bonds for $2,817,000. The market rate of interest for these bonds is 9%. Interest is payable annually on December 31. Jorge uses the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount. At the end of the first year, Jorge should report unamortized bond discount of:
Answer: $169470
Explanation: Firstly, we'll calculate the discount on bond which will be:
= Issue Price - Par Value
= $3,000,000 - $2,817,000
= $183,000
Then, the interest payable will be:
= Coupon Rate × Bond ParValue
= $3,000,000 × 8%
= $3,000,000 × 0.08
= $240,000
We will calculate the interest expense as:
= Issue Value × Market Rate
= $2,817,000 × 9%
= $253,530
Then, the amortized amount for Year 1 will be:
= Interest Expense - Interest Payable
= $253,530 - $240,000
= $13,530
Therefore, the unamoritzed amount of bond discount will be:
= $183,000 - $13,530
= $169,470
A call option on Barry Enterprises stock has a market price of $12. The stock sells for $23 a share, and the option has an exercise price of $17.50. What is the exercise value of the option
Answer:
the exercise value of the option is $5.50
Explanation:
The computation of the exercise value of the option is given below:
= Sale value of the stock - exercise price of the option
= $23 - $17.50
= $5.50
Hence, the exercise value of the option is $5.50
Simply we deduct the exercise price of the option from the sale value of the option

a. $2,000.
b. $4,000.
c. $6,000.
d. $10,000.
Answer:
Spartan Corporation
The amount of manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a job that required 200 direct labor-hours is:
b. $4,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated manufacturing overhead = $200,000
Estimated activity level = 10,000 direct labor-hours
Predetermined overhead rate = $20 ($200,000/10,000) per direct labor-hour
Applied overhead to a job that required 200 direct labor-hours = $4,000 (200 * $20)

Rosina purchased one 15-year bond at par value when it was initially issued. This bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent and matures 13 years from now. If the current market rate for this type and quality of bond is 7.5 percent, then Rosina should expect: the bond issuer to increase the amount of all future interest payments. the yield to maturity to remain constant due to the fixed coupon rate. to realize a capital loss if she sold the bond at today's market price. today's market price to exceed the face value of the bond. the current yield today to be less than 7 percent.
Answer:
to realize a capital loss if she sold the bond at today's market price.
Explanation:
Given that
NPER is 13
RATE is 7.5%
PMT is 7% of $1,000
Future value be $1,000
We need to find out the present value
So,
The current price of the bond is:
=PV(7.5%,13,7%*1000,1000)
=$959.37
Now if she wants to sell the bond now, so the value should be less than the face value due to which there should be the capital loss

Third National Bank has reserves of $20,000 and checkable deposits of $100,000. The reserve ratio is 20 percent. Households deposit $5,000 in currency into the bank, and the bank adds that currency to its reserves. What amount of excess reserves does the bank now have
Answer:
$4000
Explanation:
Fractional banking is a banking system where a portion of customer's deposits is kept as reserves while remaining portion is lent out. The amount kept as reserves is determined by the required reserve ratio set by the Central bank.
Reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that is required of commercial banks to keep as reserves
Total deposits = $100,000 + $5,000 = $105,000
Required reserves = 0.2 x 105000 = 21,000
total reserves = $20,000 + 5000 = 25,000
excess reserves = 25,000 - 21,000 = 4000
