Answer:
. $11.98
Explanation:
D1 = D0(1+g)
D0 = Last dividend
r = Required rate of retrun
g = Growth rate
Stock price formula = D1/(r-g)
Stock price = D0(1+g)/(r-g)
Stock price = 1*(1+0.054) / (0.142-0.054)
Stock price = 1.054 / 0.088
Stock price = 11.97727273
Stock price = $11.98
Think of a business concept that would be appropriate for each of the following:
1) a sole proprietorship
2) a corporation
3) a limited liability company
In your answer address the pros and cons of the business type (sole proprietorship, Corporation, LLC) and why you the believe the business concept you choose best suits that business type. You must list at least 3 pros and 3 cons for each business type.
Answer:
Sole Proprietorship: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of business would be a roadside Fruit Juice Processing business. This involves different blends of organic fruits being blended into one smooth syrup sometimes called a smoothie.This type of business is better registered under a Sole Proprietorship because, it is almost always carried out by those who are self-employed.
Pros:
It is easy to set up and has low operational and corporate costIt enjoys zero corporate business taxesthey are not required to submit annual filingsCons:
The liability is unlimited and unrestricted. This means if there is litigation against the business, the business owner if found culpable will have to defray all amounts due even with his or her personal assets if the business is unable to meet that obligationThis type of business structure will find it difficult to raise money due to the potential liability exposure Also the sole proprietor may be unable to take on business debt
2. A Limited Liability Corporation: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of entity is a Fast Food Franchise like Tastee Fried Chicken. This sort of business will involve processing chicken and other kinds of foods into wholesome dishes.

A company is planning to purchase a machine that will cost $31,200 with a six-year life and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company expects to sell the machine's output of 3,000 units evenly throughout each year. A projected income statement for each year of the asset's life appears below. What is the accounting rate of return for this machine
Answer:
44.87%
Explanation:
Note: Missing word have been attached as picture below
Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Scrap Value) / 2
Average Investment = [$31,200 + $0] / 2
Average Investment = $31,200/2
Average Investment = $15,600
Accounting Rate of Return = Net Income/Average Investment*100
Accounting Rate of Return = $7,000/$15,600 * 100
Accounting Rate of Return = 0.44871795 * 100
Accounting Rate of Return = 44.87%

b. Calculate the net present value of the new hotel using the present value of an annuity of $1 table above.
c. Does your analysis support the purchase of the new hotel?
Answer:
a. Net cash flows
Depreciation has to be added back to income because it is a non-cash expense.
Depreciation = (Cost - Residual value)/ Useful life
= 22,400,000 / 8
= $2,800,000
Net cash flows = Revenue - Expenses + Depreciation
= 16,688,000 - 14,000,000 + 2,800,000
= $5,488,000
b. Net Present Value
= Present value of cash inflows - Construction cost
= (Net cash flows * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, 12%) - 22,400,000
= (5,488,000 * 4.96764) - 22,400,000
= $4,862,408.32
c. Analysis SUPPORTS PURCHASE of hotel because it results in a positive Net Present Value.

A) For tax purposes the portion of Justin's trip that is regarded as being for business is 100% and this is because we can consider weekends and Holidays as business days if they are preceded by a business day and also succeeded by a business day(s) also considering that Justin's flight was delayed from Wednesday to Thursday
B) Yes it will affect my answer because it would mean that Saturday, Sunday and Monday will become Non-business days
C) The total cost of the Airfare qualifies as deductible business expense in both A and B
ABM, Kaizen Costing Baker, Inc., supplies wheels for a large bicycle manufacturing company. The bicycle company has recently requested that Baker decrease its delivery time. Baker made a commitment to reduce the lead time for delivery from seven days to one day. To help achieve this goal, engineering and production workers had made the commitment to reduce time for the setup activity (other activities such as moving materials and rework were also being examined simultaneously). Current setup times were 12 hours. Setup cost was $600 per setup hour. For the first quarter, engineering developed a new process design that it believed would reduce the setup time from 12 hours to nine hours. After implementing the design, the actual setup time dropped from 12 hours to seven hours. Engineering believed the actual reduction was sustainable. In the second quarter, production workers suggested a new setup procedure. Engineering gave the suggestion a positive evaluation, and they projected that the new approach would save an additional six hours of setup time. Setup labor was trained to perform the new setup procedures. The actual reduction in setup time based on the suggested changes was four hours.
Required:
1. What kaizen setup standard would be used at the beginning of each quarter?
2. How much non-value-added cost was eliminated by the end of two quarters?
Answer and Explanation:
the computation is shown below:
1. Setup Time standard
Here the first quarter standard would be considered i.e. 9 hours so we dont take the actual setup time
The Second quarter is 1 hour that denotes the Expected setup time
2. The Total non-value cost which got eliminated is
Since, The setup time was Decrease from 12 hours to 3 hours.
So, the Total non value added cost eliminated is
= $600 × (12 - 3)
= $600 × 9
= $5,400
The Walking Dead Co. provides services on-account and in exchange for cash. All general ledger accounts are adjusted monthly. For September, the following information is available: Accounts Receivable on September 1st is $22,400 (debit) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on September 1st is $4,400 (credit) Services provided during September for cash $20,000 Services provided during September on-account $45,000 During the month collections on account were $34,400 and accounts written off as uncollectible were $2,000. The Walking Dead estimates bad debts at 8% of accounts receivable. After adjusting journal entries are recorded, what is the September 30th balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given that,
Accounts receivables :
Beginning balance 1 September = $22,400
Services on account = $45,000
Cash collected = $34,400
Written off accounts = $2,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Beginning balance 1 September = $4,400
Adjusted balance for Allowance for doubtful accounts on 30th September
= Beginning balance 1 September - Written off accounts + Bad debt expense
= $4,400 + $2,000 + ($45,000 × 8%)
= $4,400 + $2,000 + $3,600
= $6,000

Multiple Choice $66,240. $61,200. $79,200.
Answer:
Total cost allocated to building = $66,240
Explanation:
Given:
Total amount pay = $170,000 + $14,000 = $184,000
Land appraised amount = $22,000
Building appraised amount = $79,200
Paddleboats appraised price = $118,800

Consider the following $1000 par value zero-coupon Treasury bonds: Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 4.00% B 2 4.50% C 3 5.11% D 4 5.86% E 5 6.25% The expected 2-year interest rate three years from now should be __________. Enter your answer in percent to the nearest hundredth, for example if your answer is .25432, enter 25.43.
Answer: 7.98%
Explanation:
This deals with spot rates and forward rates. The 2 year interest rate three years from now is the 2 year forward rate, 3 years from now.
It can be calculated through the relationship below:
(1 + 5 year spot rate)⁵ = (1 + third year spot rate)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
(1 + 6.25%)⁵ = (1 + 5.11%)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
1.35408 = 1.161267 * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
(1 + 2 year forward rate)² = 1.35408 / 1.161267
1 + 2 year forward rate = √1.16603675
2 year forward rate = √1.16603675 - 1
= 7.98%
Precision Tool is trying to decide whether to lease or buy some new equipment for its tool and die operations. The equipment costs $52,000, has a 3-year life and will be worthless after the 3 years. The pre-tax cost of borrowed funds is 10 percent and the tax rate is 33 percent. The equipment can be leased for $18,500 a year. What is the net advantage to leasing? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
$4,200
Explanation:
Cost of equipment = $52,000
Life of equipment = 3 years
Depreciation through straight line method = 52,000/3 = $17,333
Tax rate = 33%
Pretax cost of debt = 10%
Lease amount of equipment = $18,500
After tax cost of debt = 10%*(1-0.33)
After tax cost of debt = 10%*(0.67)
After tax cost of debt = 0.067
After tax cost of debt = 6.7%
After tax lease payment amount = 18,500*(1-0.33)
After tax lease payment amount = 18,500*0.67
After tax lease payment amount = 12,395
Present Value of 3 lease payment = 12,395/(1+0.067) + 12,395/(1+0.067)^2 + 12,395/(1+0.067)^3
Present Value of 3 lease payment = 12395/1.067 + 12395/1.1385 + 12395/1.2148
Present Value of 3 lease payment = 11616.68 + 10887.13 + 10203.33
Present Value of 3 lease payment = $32,707.14
Present Value of cost involved in purchasing the equipment is $52,000, however there will be a tax shield from depreciation therefore, this amount would reduce the company's cost.
Annual depreciation tax shield = 17,333*0.33 = $5719.89. There will be tax shield on depreciation for 3 years. Therefore, present value of $5719.89 is calculated for three years:
= $5719.89/(1+0.067) + $5719.89/(1+0.067)^2 + $5719.89/(1+0.067)^3
= $5719.89/1.067 + $5719.89/1.1385 + $5719.89/1.2148
= $5360.72 + $5024.06 + $4708.50
= $15,093.28
Present Value of the cost of buying the equipment = $52,000 - $15,093.28 = $36,906.72
Net Advantage Leasing = Present Value of the cost of buying the equipment - Present Value of 3 lease payment
Net Advantage Leasing = $36,906.72 - $32,707.14
Net Advantage Leasing = $4,199.58
Net Advantage Leasing = $4,200.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment cost of production facility = $15 million
Estimated useful life of equipment = 10 years
Residual value = $500,000
Annual depreciation expense = $1,450,000 ($15m - $500,000)/10
Net Annual Cash inflows = Net operating income + Depreciation
= $2,690,000 + $1,450,000 = $4,140,000
Robert Nozick's direct criticism of the importance of income equality is that: a. trade performed on a cumulative basis would result in equal outcomes and opportunities for people. b. All of the answers are correct. c. peaceful trade should not be condemned even when it leads to large differences in wealth. d. equality results only from freely chosen market transactions, devoid of coercive force or fraud.
Answer: c. peaceful trade should not be condemned even when it leads to large differences in wealth.
Explanation:
Income inequality simply refers to the unevenly distribution of income in a population. It should be noted that the less equal the distribution, the higher the income inequality will be.
According to Robert Nozick, the direct criticism of the importance of income equality is that peaceful trade should not be condemned even when it leads to large differences in wealth.

The personnel director for Electronics Associates developed the following estimated regression equation relating an employee's score on a job satisfaction test to his or her length of service and wage rate.
= 14.4 - 8.69x1 + 13.5x2
where
x1 = length of service (years)
x2 = wage rate (dollars)
y = job satisfaction test score (higher scores indicate greater job satisfaction)
a. Interpret the coefficients in this estimated regression equation.
b. Predict the job satisfaction test score for an employee who has four years of service and makes $13.00 per hour.
Answer:
a-1. An increase in the length of service (years) by one year will lead to a reduction in the job satisfaction test score by 8.69.
a-2. An increase in the wage rate (dollars) by $1 will lead to an increase in the job satisfaction test score by 13.5.
b. The predicted score of the job satisfaction test for the employee is 155.14.
Explanation:
a. Interpret the coefficients in this estimated regression equation.
a-1. Interpretation of the coefficient of x1
From the estimated regression equation, the coefficient of x1 is -8.69. Since the coefficient of x1 is negative, it implies that an increase in the length of service (years) by one year will lead to a reduction in the job satisfaction test score by 8.69.
a-2. Interpretation of the coefficient of x2
From the estimated regression equation, the coefficient of x2 is 13.5. Since the coefficient of x2 is positive, it implies that an increase in the wage rate (dollars) by $1 will lead to an increase in the job satisfaction test score by 13.5.
b. Predict the job satisfaction test score for an employee who has four years of service and makes $13.00 per hour.
Given:
y = 14.4 - 8.69x1 + 13.5x2 ………………… (1)
where
x1 = length of service (years) = 4
x2 = wage rate (dollars) = $13
y = job satisfaction test score = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
y = 14.4 - (8.69 * 4) + (13.5 * 13)
y = 155.14
Therefore, the predicted score of the job satisfaction test for the employee is 155.14.
Coordination refers to ________. a. identifying the span of control within an organization b. portioning the performance of specific tasks c. assigning tasks to qualified managers d. linking various value activities within an organization
Answer:
d. linking various value activities within an organization.
Explanation:
A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.
These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.
The employees in companies engaged in a single line of business are generally referred to as silos because they work independently, collaborate and communicate with their colleagues in a vertical style i.e exclusively with each other.
A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.
Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.
Coordination refers to linking various value activities within an organization.
Answer:
d. linking various value activities within an organization.
Explanation:
Coordination refers to linking various value activities within an organization.
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%

Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to ending inventory for July is $3960. $3492. $3600. $3708.
Answer:
Endign inventory cost= $3,708
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchases 378 units at $20
Purchases 54 units at $22
Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:
Ending inventory in units= 180
Endign inventory cost= 54*22 + 126*20
Endign inventory cost= $3,708
