Explanation:
Dow's basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be:
= Net Income - Preference Dividend / Basic Number of Shares
= ($2,750,000 - $82,000) / (730,000 × 1.05) + (60,000 × 10/12 × 1.05) - (2,000 × 6/12)
= $2,668,000 / 818,000
= $3.26
Therefore, Dow's basic earnings per share is $3.26.
Dow's diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be:
First we calculate the number of shares which will be:
= (20,000 × $32) / $40
= $6,40,000 $40
= 16,000 Shares
Solving further, the diluted earnings per share for the year will be:
= $2698000 / 888000
= $3.04
The diluted earnings per year is $3.04

Merchandise inventory, December 31 (FIFO) 1,887,600
Current liabilities 1,144,000
Net sales 3,832,400
Operating expenses 915,200
1. Compute the current ratio, inventory turnover ratio, and rate of return on operating assets assuming the company continues using FIFO.
2. Repeat part (a) assuming the company adjusts its accounts to the LIFO inventory method.
Answer:

The company has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6%, and sells for 97% of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5%, and sells for 108% of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $3.25 and the dividend growth rate is 5%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21%. What is the company’s WACC?
On December 1, delivery equipment was purchased for $6,144. The delivery equipment has an estimated useful life of four years (48 months) and no salvage value. Using the straight-line depreciation method, analyze the necessary adjusting entry as of December 31 (one month) using T accounts, and then formally enter this adjustment in the general journal.
Answer and Explanation:
The presentation is shown below;

The following information relates to the only product sold by Harper Company. Sales price per unit $ 45 Variable cost per unit 27 Fixed costs per year 247,000 a. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the dollar sales volume required to break even. b. Assuming that the company sells 20,000 units during the current year, compute the margin of safety (in dollars).
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a.
For Contribution Margin ratio
We know that
Contribution margin per unit = Sale price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $45 - $27
= $18
Now
Contribution margin ratio = Contibution Margin per unit ÷ Sale price per unit
= $18 ÷ $45
= 0.4
Now
Break even sales dollar
Break even sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $247,000 ÷ 0.4
= $617,500
b.
For Margin of Safety
The Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break Even Sales
where,
Actual sales(in $) = 20000 × 45
= $900,000
So, Margin of safety is
= $900,000 - $617,500
= $282,500
Malibu Corporation has monthly fixed costs of $59,000. It sells two products for which it has provided the following information. Sales Price Contribution Margin Product 1 $ 15 $ 9 Product 2 20 4 a. What total monthly sales revenue is required to break even if the relative sales mix is 30 percent for Product 1 and 70 percent for Product 2
Answer:
$184,375
Explanation:
The computation of the monthly sales revenue that needed to be break even is given below:
Here we assume the sales be x
0.18x + 0.14x = $59,000
0.32x = $59,000
x = $59,000 ÷ 0.32
= $184,375
The 0.18x come from
= ($9) ÷ ($15) × 0.30x
= 0.18x
And, the 0.14x come from
= ($2) ÷ ($20) × 0.70x
= 0.14x
From a firm's viewpoint, opportunity cost is the best alternative use customers can find for the firm's output. price a firm can charge for its output. cost the firm must pay for the factors of production it employs to attract them from their best alternative use. accounting cost of resources. cost of acquiring the opportunity to sell to its customers.
Answer:
cost the firm must pay for the factors of production it employs to attract them from their best alternative use.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.
Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.

When Argentina fixed the exchange rate of their peso to the U.S. dollar, one outcome was: Group of answer choices Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC. Argentinean central bankers regained control of their domestic interest rate. Argentinean central bankers were finally able to focus their attention on domestic monetary policy. Argentineans began using the U.S. dollar for all of their transactions.
Answer: Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.
Explanation:
The Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC) is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO). In doing so, they also influence the value of the dollar which is the currency of the U.S.
By pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC because the FOMC in deciding the interest rate for the U.S. and therefore the dollar, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does which is what the Peso is now going to do.
The outcome was that Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.
The Federal Open Market Committee is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO).
Now, by pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines will effectively gave control of their interest rate to the Federal Open Market Committee for interest rate decision, therefore, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does.Hence, the Option A is correct because the outcome was that Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.

On December 31, 2020, the Bennett Company had 100,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, 2021, the company sold 18,000 additional shares for cash. Bennett's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $650,000. During 2021, Bennett declared and paid $71,000 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share
Answer:
$5.31
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding
where,
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :
Net Income $650,000
Less Preference Stock dividend ($71,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $579,000
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :
Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding 100,000
Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2) 9,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding 109,000
therefore,
Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷ 109,000
= $5.31
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.

Last month, Beverly incurred 1,600 actual direct labor hours in the production of 3,300 units. The company has also determined that its actual variable overhead rate is $2.40 per direct labor hour. Calculate the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances as well as the total amount of over- or underapplied variable overhead.
Answer:
$8,700
Explanation:
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual Hours *(Actual Rate - Standard Rate) =
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * ($2.40 - $3.80)
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * $1.40 F
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $2240 F
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard Rate*(Actual Hours - Standard Hours) =
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80*(1,600 - 0.50*3,300)
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80* 50 F
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $190 F
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = Actual Overhead Incurred - Overhead Applied
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = 1600*$2.40 - 3,300*$3.80
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = $3840 - $12540
Overapplied Variable Overhead = $8,700

Which of the following two ARMs is likely to be priced higher, that is, offered with a higher initial interest rate?
a. ARM A has a margin of 3 percent and is tied to a three-year index with payments adjustable every two years; payments cannot increase by more than 10 percent from the preceding period; the term is 30 years.
b. ARM B has a margin of 3 percent and is tied to a one-year index with payments to be adjusted each year; payments cannot increase by more than 10 percent from the preceding period; the term is 30 years.
Answer: ARM A
Explanation:
The issuers of Adjustable-Rate Mortgage adjust its rate based on a certain index in the market, the purpose of which is to reflect the current cost being incurred by the issuer for loaning out money.
Both these mortgages are similar in everything except the index period. ARM A has a longer index period which means that it is expose to more forward rates and as the yield curve is generally upward trending(interest rates are higher in future), ARM A will be offered at a higher interest rate.

At a price of $35, there would be Select one: a. excess demand, and the price would tend to fall from $35 to a lower price. b. a shortage, and the price would tend to rise from $35 to a higher price. c. excess supply, and the price would tend to fall from $35 to a lower price. d. a surplus, and the price would tend to rise from $35 to a higher price.
Answer: c. excess supply, and the price would tend to fall from $35 to a lower price.
Explanation:
At $35 there is excess supply because this is a price that most consumers are not willing to pay but most suppliers are willing to sell.
Supply at $35 = 600
Quantity demanded at $35 = 200
This would lead to prices falling as suppliers try to sell the excess supply. The prices would ideally keep falling till the equilibrium price is reached which is $25. At this point, the quantity demanded and supplied will be equal to each other.

What is meant by Cash Flow?A cash flow is a physical or fictitious flow of funds:
The phrase "cash flow" is typically used to represent payments that are anticipated to occur in the future, are thus unknown, and so need to be projected using cash flows;
A cash flow in its restricted sense is a payment (in a currency), especially from one central bank account to another;
A cash flow is determined by its time t, nominal amount N, currency CCY, and account A; symbolically, CF = CF (t,N,CCY,A).
Nonetheless, it is common to use the term "cash flow" in a less precise sense to describe (symbolic) payments into or out of a business, project, or financial product.

A. Top line and bottom line holding steady without much variation.
B. Top line growing faster than bottom line.
C. Bottom line growing faster than top line.
D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Answer: D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the most likely thing will be for the top and bottom line growing at the same rate. This implies that both the revenue and the net profit grow at same rate.
It's vital for them to grow at a steady rate in order to ensure stability. The top line growing faster than bottom line or the bottom line growing faster than top line isn't good for the stock options.

New Line Cinema is considering producing a new movie. To evaluate the proposal, the company needs to calculate its cost of capital. The firm has collected the following information:
a. The company wants to maintain is current capital structure, which is 20% equity, 20% preferred stock and 60% debt.
b. The firm has marginal tax rate of 34%.
c. The firm's preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $4.3 forever, and each share is currently worth $135.26.
d. The firm has one bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6%, paid semiannually, 10 years to maturity, a face value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,163.51.
e. The company's beta is 0.8, the yield on Treasury bonds is is 0.6% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 6%.
f. The current stock price is $39.17. The firm has just paid an annual dividend of $1.13, which is expected to grow by 4% per year.
g. The firm uses a risk premium of 3% for the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach.
h. New preferred stock and bonds would be issued by private placement, largely eliminating flotation costs. New equity would come from retained earnings, thus eliminating flotation costs.
Required:
a. What is the cost of equity using the bond yield plus risk premium?
b. What is the midpoint of the range for the cost of equity?
c. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital?
Answer:
a.
7.00%
b.
5.96%
c.
1.20%
Explanation:
a.
First and foremost, we need to determine the yield to maturity on the bond, using a financial calculator as shown thus:
The financial calculator should be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=20(number of semiannual coupons in 10 years=10*2=20)
PMT=30(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*/2=$1000*6%/2=$30)
PV=-1163.51(current price=$1,163.51)
FV=1000(face value of the bond=$1000)
CPT
I/Y=2.00%(semiannual yield=2%, annnual yield=2.00%*2=4.00%)
bond yield plus risk premium=bond yield(4.00%)+ risk premium(3%)
bond yield plus risk premium=7.00%
b.
In determining the midpoint range is the maximum plus minimum cost of equity divided by 2
Let us determine cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Constant Dividend Growth Model
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected return on the market portfolio-risk-free rate)
risk-free rate=yield on Treasury bonds= 0.6%
beta=0.8
expected return on the market portfolio= 6%
cost of equity=0.6%+0.8*(6%-0.6%)
cost of equity=4.92%
cost of equity=expected dividend/share price+growth rate
expected dividend=last dividend*(1+growth rate)
expected dividend=$1.13*(1+4%)=$1.1752
share price= $39.17
growth rate=4%
cost of equity=($1.1752/$39.17)+4%
cost of equity=7.00%
midpoint range=(maximum cost of equity+minimum cost of equity)/2
midpoint rate=(7.00%+4.92%)/2
midpoint range=5.96%
c.
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of preferred stock*cost of preferred stock)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
weight of equity= 20%
cost of equity=5.96%
weight of preferred stock=20%
cost of preferred stock=annual dividend/price
cost of preferred stock=$4.3/$135.26=3.18%
weight of debt=60%
aftertax cost of debt=4.00%*(1-34%)=2.64%
WACC=(20%*5.96%)+(20%*3.18%)*(60%*2.64%)
WACC=1.20%
Seidman Company manufactures and sells 20,000 units of product X per month. Each unit of product X sells for $17 and has a contribution margin of $8. If product X is discontinued, $45,000 in fixed monthly overhead costs would be eliminated and there would be no effect on the sales volume of Seidman Company's other products. If product X is discontinued, Seidman Company's monthly income before taxes should:
Answer:
Effect on income= $115,000 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $45,000
Number of units= 20,000
Unitary contribution margin= $8
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= decrease in fixed costs - decrease in contribution margin
Effect on income= 45,000 - 20,000*8
Effect on income= $115,000 decrease
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 204,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 156,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $100 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 24,000 tires for $86.5 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.
b. Determine whether the company should reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors
c. What is the minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone?
Answer:
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company
a. Differential Analysis dated January 21
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reject Accept
Revenue from special order ($2,076,000) $2,076,000
Avoidable costs 2,493,120 2,831,520
Cost Differential ($417,120) ($755,520)
b. The company should reject the special order from Euro Motors as it will incur more costs when it accepts than when it rejects the special order.
c. The minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone is $117.98.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production capacity in tires = 204,000
Current production and sales units = 156,000
Selling price per tire for the North American market = $100
Special order of 24,000 tires from Euro Motors = $86.50 per tire
Total cost per tire: Total Variable
Direct materials $54 $54
Direct labor 24 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24 14.88
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25 11
Total $127.00 $103.88
Special Order:
Offer price = $86.50
Reject Accept
Variable cost per unit $103.88 $2,493,120
Less selling commission (0.44)
Additional shipping cost 7.65
Cost of certification 6.89
Total per unit costs = $117.98 $2,813,520
Operating income (loss) ($31.48)
explain errors are not detected by a trial balance
Answer:
Errors not detected by a trial balance are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book
3. Compensating Errors
4. Errors of Principle
5. Errors of Omission
Explanation:
The Trial Balance does not provide absolute assurance of ledger account accuracy. It is just an evidence of the postings' arithmetical accuracy. Even though the amount of debits equals the amount of credits, there may be inaccuracies.
A trial balance will not reveal such errors, and they are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account: IF accidentally posted something to the wrong account, but it was on the right side, the Trial Balance agreement will not be affected. For example, if a $200 purchase from John was credited to Joshua instead of John. As a result, Trial Balance will miss such an error.
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book: The Trial Balance will come out appropriately if an invoice for $632 is filed in Sales Book as $623, because the debit and credit have been recorded as $623. The arithmetical precision is there, yet there is a flaw.
3. Compensating Errors: This occurs one mistake is offset by a similar mistake on the other side. These errors are cancelled if one account in the ledger is debited $500 less and another account in the ledger is credited $500 less.
4. Errors of Principle: An errors of Principle is one that breaches the foundations of bookkeeping. Purchases of furniture, for example, are debited to the Purchase Account rather than the Furniture Account; wages paid for the erection of plant are debited to the Wages Account rather than the Plant Account; and the amount spent on a building extension is debited to the Repairs Account rather than the Building Account, and so on. These kind of errors do not alter the total debits and credits, but they do impair the bookkeeping principle.
5. Errors of Omission: There will be no effect on the Trial Balance if a transaction is completely omitted. An error of omission occurs when a transaction is fully unreported in both aspects, or when a transaction is documented in the books of primary entry but never entered in the ledger. For example, if a credit purchase is not recorded in the Purchase Day Book, it will not be posted to both the Purchase Account and the Supplier's Account. This error, on the other hand, will not cause Trial Balance to disagree.
A company buys a machine for $69,000 that has an expected life of 7 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,300 after taxes of 38%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return
Answer:
9.57%
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return = Annual after tax net income/Average investment
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / ($69,000/2)
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / $34,500
Accounting rate of return = 0.095652174
Accounting rate of return = 9.57%
