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.

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%
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%
Which of the following adjustments to convert net income to net cash provided by operating activities is incorrect? Add to Net Income Deduct from Net Income A. Accounts Receivable decrease increase B. Prepaid Expenses increase decrease C. Inventory decrease increase D. Accounts Payable increase decrease
Answer:
B. Prepaid Expenses increase decrease
Explanation:
When the net income would be converted to net cash provided by operating activities so the above answer would be held incorrect
As the correct adjustment would be when there is decrease in the prepaid expense so the same would be added to the net income and when it increased so the same would be deducted from the net income
Therefore, the option b is correct
Hence, the other options would be incorrect
The daily operations of a corporation involved in producing and selling its product, generating revenues, as well as fundamental management and software maintenance, are referred to as operating activities. Fabrication, marketing, promotion, and branding are all important aspects of a company's operations.
The correct answer that is not in the context of the operating activities is B. Prepaid Expenses increase decrease
When net income is converted to net cash generated by operational operations, the answer given above is erroneous.
As the appropriate correction, when the prepaid expense lowers, it is credited to the net revenue, and when it grows, it is removed from the net earnings.
Therefore, option b is the correct answer.

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

Explanation:
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.
Sunland Company had the following department data: Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0 Completed and transferred out 90900 Work in process, ending 7800 Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number of equivalent units for materials during the period?
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0
Completed and transferred out 90,900
Work in process, ending 7,800
Materials are added at the beginning of the process.
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 0 + 90,900 + 7,800*1
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Because the materials are added at the beginning of the process, the percentage of completion is 100%.
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%

Determine the number of units that must be sold each month to break even. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) c. Determine the number of units that must be sold to earn an operating income of $234,000 per month. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
Ames Brothers
a. Unit contribution margin = $25
b. Break-even units
= 17,200 units
c. Break-even units to earn a target profit
= 26,560 units
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales price per unit $ 68
Variable cost per unit 43
Contribution per unit $25
Total fixed manufacturing and operating costs (per month) 430,000
Target operating income = $234,000 per month
a. Unit contribution margin = $25
b. Break-even units = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $430,000/$25
= 17,200 units
c. Break-even units to earn an operating income = (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Contribution margin per unit
= ($430,000 + $234,000)/$25
= $664,000/$25
= 26,560 units
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.

A factory worker makes $17.50 per hour. Next month, she will receive a 1.5% increase in her hourly rate. What will her new hourly rate be?
Answer:
$19.00
Explanation:
The U.S. has expected inflation of 2%, while Country A, Country B, and Country C have expected inflation of 7%. Country A engages in much international trade with the U.S. The products that are traded between Country A and the U.S. can easily be produced by either country. Country B engages in much international trade with the U.S. The products that are traded between Country B and the U.S. are important health products, and there are not substitutes for these products that are exported from the U.S. to Country B or from Country B to the U.S. Country C engages in much international financial flows with the U.S. but very little trade. If you were to use purchasing power parity (PPP) to predict the future exchange rate over the next year for the local currency of each country against the dollar, PPP would provide the most accurate forecast for the currency of: _________
Answer:
If you were to use purchasing power parity (PPP) to predict the future exchange rate over the next year for the local currency of each country against the dollar, PPP would provide the most accurate forecast for the currency of: _________
Country A.
Explanation:
The U.S. and Country A have Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) if an exchange rate can be determined between these two countries' currencies when their purchasing power is in equilibrium. This parity can only be established by comparing a basket of goods in the two countries. This basket of goods is not possible to compare with Country B or Country C that has no similar goods with the U.S.
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.

Riverboat Adventures pays $170,000 plus $14,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land appraised at $22,000, a building appraised at $79,200, and paddleboats appraised at $118,800. Compute the cost that should be allocated to the building. 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
Find:
Total cost allocated to building
Computation:
Total appraisal price = Land appraised amount + Building appraised amount + Paddleboats appraised price
Total appraisal price = $22,000 + $79,200 + 118,800
Total appraisal price = $220,000
Total cost allocated to building = [Total amount pay / Total appraisal price]Building appraised amount
Total cost allocated to building = [184,000/220,000]79,200
Total cost allocated to building = $66,240
