Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.46%

Explanation:

Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job

Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job

Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)

Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F

Where F =  (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%

Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.

Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?

Answers

Answer:

Benzion Barlev of New York University

NEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:

= 81%

b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:

= 19%

c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:

= $1,246,100.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mean total cost (x) = $850,000

Standard deviation = $170,000

Revenue = $1,000,000

Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation

= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000

= $150,000/$170,000

= 0.882

From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%

Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)

To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:

(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33

(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000

= $396,100

(R - $850,000) = $396,100

R = $396,100 + $850,000

R = $1,246,100

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:

1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.

Is the change in the earnings per share from 20Y5 to 20Y6 favorable or unfavorable

Answers

Answer:

a) EPS

2005 Earnings per share=$18.3

2005 Earnings per share=$21.6

b) EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable

Explanation:

Earnings per share(EPS) is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock

Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend

Earnings per share = (Net income after tax - preference dividend)/Number of shares

2005 Earnings per share = $1,687,000- $40,000/90,000 shares=$18.3

2006 Earnings per share=($2,632,000- $40,000)/120,000 shares=$21.6

2005 Earnings per share=$18.3

2006 Earnings per share=$21.6

EPS Variance

Comparing the EPS the Earning per share in 2006 is higher than that of 2005. Hence, the variance = 21.6-18.3= $3.3 favorable

EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable

An analysis of stockholders' equity of Hahn Corporation as of January 1, 2020, is as follows: Common stock, par value $20; authorized 100,000 shares; issued and outstanding 90,000 shares $1,800,000 Additional Paid-in capital 900,000 Retained earnings 760,000 Total $3,460,000 During 2020, the company entered into the following transactions: Acquired 2,500 shares of its stock for $75,000. Sold 2,000 treasury shares at $35 per share. Sold the remaining treasury shares at $20 per share. Assuming no other equity transactions occurred during 2020, what should Hahn report at December 31, 2020, as total additional paid-in capital?

Answers

Answer:

$905,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what should Hahn report at December 31, 2020, as total additional paid-in capital

Total Additional Paid-in capital=$900,000 + (2,000 × $5) –[(2,500-2,000)× $10]

Total Additional Paid-in capital=$900,000 + (2,000 × $5) – (500 × $10)

Total Additional Paid-in capital=$900,000 + $10,000-$5,000

Total Additional Paid-in capital = $905,000

Therefore The amount that Hahn should report at December 31, 2020, as total additional paid-in capital is $905,000

On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.

2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 8, 2012:

Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000

Cost of painting the truck =         4,000

Cost of replacing the tires =        2,500

Cost of overhauling the engine  8,000

Total costs =                            $79,500

Residual value =                          6,000

Depreciable amount =           $73,500

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Straight-line depreciation Method:

Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)

Units-of-production Method:

Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)

For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)

For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)

Double-declining-balance method:

Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%

First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)

Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)

Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)

Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)

Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)

Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)

Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)

Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)

Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)

The annual interest rate is 8​% that you earn on your deposits. Your brother starts saving​ $10,000 a year on his 36th birthday but stops making deposits after 10 years. He then withdraws the compounded sum when he reaches age 65. How much more money will your brother have than you at age​ 65?

Answers

Answer:

$217,600

Explanation:

The computation of the more money is shown below:

As we know that

The Future value of the annuity is

= P × { (1+r)^n - 1} ÷ r

= $10,000 × (1+.08)^20 - 1) ÷ 0.08

= $457,619.64

For 36 years to 46 years,

FV = $10,000 × (1+.08)^10 - 1) ÷ 0.08

= $144,865.62

Now

FV = PV(1+r)^n

 = $144,865.62×  (1+.08)^20

= $675,212.47

Now the more amount would be

= $675,212.47 - $457,619.64

= $217592.83

= $217,600

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense is $3,345.20.

Explanation:

The appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense can be calculated as follows:

Bad debt expense = (Percentage of accounts receivable not yet due it will not collect * Accounts receivable not yet due) + (Percentage of receivables up to 30 days past due it will not collect * Amount of receivables up to 30 days past due) + (Parentage of receivables of receivables greater than 30 days past due it will not collect * Amount of receivables greater than 30 days past due) - Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (credit) ……………………… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Bad debt expense = (7% * $7,500) + (20% + $2,300) + (46% * $2,000) - $400 = $3,345.20

Therefore, the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense is $3,345.20.

What is the current cost of equity if Roxy operates in a world of no​ taxes?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Current  

Total assets = Debt + Equity

= 2 + 7 9

Now

Debt ratio = Debt ÷ Total assets = 2 ÷ 9  

Equity ratio = Equity ÷ Total assets = 7 ÷ 9  

Return on assets = Cost of debt × Debt ratio + Cost of equity × Equity ratio

11% = 9% × 2 ÷ 9 + Cost of equity × 7 ÷ 9  

Cost of equity × 7 ÷ 9 = 11% - (9% × 2 ÷ 9)  

Cost of equity = ( 11% - (9% × 2 ÷ 9) ) × 9 ÷ 7

= 12%

For New  

Total assets = Debt + Equity = 7 + 2 = 9

Debt ratio = Debt ÷ Total assets = 7 ÷ 9  

Equity ratio = Equity ÷ Total assets = 2 ÷9  

Return on assets = Cost of debt × Debt ratio + Cost of equity × Equity ratio

11% = 9% × 7 ÷ 9 + Cost of equity × 2 ÷ 9  

Cost of equity × 2 ÷ 9 = 11% - (9% × 7 ÷ 9)  

Cost of equity = ( 11% - (9% × 7 ÷ 9) ) × 9 ÷ 2

= 18%

Determine the net present values. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign.

Answers

Answer:

Project X = $6,980.82

Project Y = - $2,478.42

Explanation:

The Present value is the price today of future cash flows and is calculated as follows :

Project X

($21,000) CF 0

$8,000    CF 1

$8,000    CF 2

$8,000    CF 3

$8,000    CF 4

$8,000    CF 5

$8,000    CF 6

I/YR = 18%

Therefore, NPV is $6,980.82

Project Y

($21,000) CF 0

$0    CF 1

Mackenzie Company has a price of $38 and will issue a dividend of $ 2.00 next year. It has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 4.9%. a. Estimate the equity cost of capital for Mackenzie. b. Under the CGDM, at what rate do you need to expect Mackenzie's dividends to grow to get the same equity cost of capital as in part (a)?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the equity cost of capital is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta

= 5.20% + 4.90% × 1.30

= 11.57%

b. Now the rate at which the dividend should be grow is

Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)

$38 = $2 ÷ (11.57% -  growth rate)

so, the growth rate is 6.31%

Computing Straight-Line and Double-Declining-Balance Depreciation
On January 2, 2016, Dechow Company purchases a machine to help manufacture a part for one of its key products. The machine cost $306,180 and is estimated to have a useful life of six years, with an expected salvage value of $32,760.
Compute each year's depreciation expense for 2016 and 2017 for each of the following depreciation methods.
a. Straight-line.
b. Double-declining balance.

Answers

Answer:

a.

2016 =  $45,570

2017 =  $45,570

b.

2016 =  $102,080

2017 =  $68,014

Explanation:

Straight line method

Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation

Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated useful life

2016

Depreciation Charge = $45,570

2017

Depreciation Charge = $45,570

Double declining method

Double declining method charges a higher amount of depreciation at the early years and less in the later years

Depreciation Charge = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP

2016

Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x $306,180 = $102,080

2017

Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x ($306,180 - $102,080)  = $68,014

One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Beta's manager has decided that the best time to call is 7:00 p.m. because it is exactly halfway between 5:00 p.m. and bedtime. Which of the following is true?
a. Alpha and Charlie will also make calls at 7:00 p.m.
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
c. Alpha and Charlie will divide up the rest of the market, with one choosing to call at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.
d. Beta is certain to generate the most donations.

Answers

Answer:

b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.

Explanation:

If you know that you are competing with identical charities, calling later will only result in fewer donations. The calls should start at 5 PM, and probably the three fundraisers will start calling at the same time. The only advantage that they can have depends on reaching the adults first, so the time of the calls is important.

oneycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 39,000 shares of stock and $108,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 33,000 shares of stock and $324,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $160,000. The all-equity plan would result in 42,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans

Answers

Answer:

All equity plan:

EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81

Plan I:

EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91

Plan II:

EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16

Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives.

Orange Corporation has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project: Investment in depreciable equipment $ 520,000 Annual net cash flows $ 78,000 Life of the equipment 10 years Salvage value $ 0 Discount rate 6 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The payback period for the investment would be: Multiple Choice 1.0 years 0.2 years 4.7 years 6.7 years

Answers

Answer:

6.7 years

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Investment = $520,000

Net cash flow = $78,000

Life of equipment = 10 years

So, we can calculate the payback period for investment by using following formula,

Payback period for investment = Initial Investment ÷ Net cash flow

= $520,000 ÷ $78,000

= 6.67 years or 6.7 years

The Smith family wants to relocate to a neighborhood with better schools before their three-year-old goes to kindergarten. They talked with Byron about properties he has for sale in neighborhoods they would like to live in. They also mentioned to Byron that they both work and may need someone to help with in-home care for their child. Byron gave them Taylor’s name to call about childcare. The Smiths also said they were having a hard time getting loan approval, so Byron suggested that they call Travis. Which best describes the jobs performed by Byron, Taylor, and Travis?

a) Byron is a Customer Service Representative, Taylor is a Child Care Worker, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.

b) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.

c) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Preschool Teacher, and Travis is a Customer Service Representative.

d) Byron is a Home Counselor, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Property Manager.

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer is B)

Explanation:

Given that they spoke to Byron about properties that he wants to sell, that means he is a Real Estate Manager. Taylor came up because they needed in-home care. That makes Taylor a Nanny because Nannies are professionals who take care of babies in their own homes.

Loan counselors have no other major business besides advising people on issues relating to taking up a loan. Therefore that makes Travis a loan Counselor.

Answers

Answer:

$109

$118.81

18.26%

Explanation:

Intrinsic value can be determined using the constant growth dividend model

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

dividend, growth rate and cost of equity are not given and they have to be calculated

growth rate = retention rate x ROE  

Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

0.5 x 18% = 9%

According to the capital asset price model: cost of equity = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

9% + 2x (14% - 9%) = 19%

dividend = payout ratio x earnings per share

0.5 x $20 = $10

Intrinsic value = [tex]\frac{10( 1 + 0.09)}{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = $109

Stock price in a year

[tex]\frac{10(1 + 0.9)^{2} }{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = 118.81

(dividend return + price return)  

price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price  

Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned  

price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year
