The Brisbane Manufacturing Company produces a single model of a CD player. Each player is sold for $182 with a resulting contribution margin of $71. Brisbane's management is considering a change in its quality control system. Currently, Brisbane spends $42,000 a year to inspect the CD players. An average of 1,900 units turn out to be defective: 1,520 of them are detected in the inspection process and are repaired for $75. If a defective CD player is not identified in the inspection process, the customer who receives it is given a full refund of the purchase price. The proposed quality control system involves the purchase of an x-ray machine for $210,000. The machine would last for five years and would have salvage value at that time of $18,000. Brisbane would also spend $470,000 immediately to train workers to better detect and repair defective units. Annual inspection costs would increase by $25,000. Brisbane expects this new control system to reduce the number of defective units to 400 per year. 350 of these defective units would be detected and repaired at a cost of only $41 per unit. Customers who still receive defective players will be given a refund equal to 120% of the purchase price.

Required:
a. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane keeps using its current system?
b. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane replaces its current system?
c. Assuming a discount rate of 8%, what is the net present value if Brisbane keeps using its current system?

For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31, beginning June 30, 2021. What is the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021

Answers

Answer:

The outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 is $480,542.41.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the amortization schedule used in calculating the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 (in bold red color).

From the attached amortization schedule, we have:

December 31, 2021 Closing book balance = December 31, 2021 Beginning book balance - December 31, 2021 Discount Amortized = $480,542.41

Therefore, the outstanding balance (book value) of the bonds as of December 31, 2021 is $480,542.41.

g You are looking for a dividend security to provide yourself with additional steady income. You have found a company with an expected dividend next year of $1.20. You have done an analysis on the company's past dividends and the dividend amount has increased at a constant rate of 3.4 percent for the last eight years and you have no expectation of a change in growth rate. If you require a 9 percent rate of return on your investments, what should you be willing to pay today for the stock

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Expected dividend, D1 = $1.20

Required rate of return, r = 9%

Growth rate = 3.4%

Then, the formula to get the price will be:

= D1/(r-g)

= 1.2/(9%-3.4%)

= 1.2/5.6%

= $21.4

The amount to pay due the stock is less than $24.00

An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at a) $60,000 and b) $80,000. Assume the applicable tax rate is 40 percent.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The cash flows is $59,040.

(b) The cash flows is $71,040.

Explanation:

From the  Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:

Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%

Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate =  $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400

Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600

We can now proceed as follows:

(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.

(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.

The cash flows is $59,040 and $71,040 when asset are sold at $60,000 and $80,000.

What is MACRS depreciation?

MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system is the depreciation system in the U.S. where the cost of the asset is recovered in a specific period through deduction.

Given:

Asset=$200,000

The depreciation rate for 5 year asset are:20%, 32%, 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52% and 5.76%

Accumulated  depreciation  for 3 years=20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%

=asset cost X  depreciation rate for 3 years

=$200,000 X 71.20% = $142,400

Net Book value=Asset Cost  - Accumulated depreciation

=$200,000 - $142,400

= $57,600

(a)Cash flows if assets sold at $60,000

Capital gains = Sales - Net book value

=$60,000 - $57,600

= $2,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate

= $2,400 * 40% = $960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax

= $60,000 - $960 = $59,040

(b)Cash flows if assets sold at $80,000

Capital gains = Sales - Net book value

= $80,000 - $57,600

= $22,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate

= $22,400 * 40% = $8,960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax

= $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040

Therefore the above calculation aptly gives the solution.

What would you expect to happen to the mix between internal financing (where companies use their own funds such as retained earnings) and external financing (where companies obtain funds through financial markets) for new investment projects in a country that experiences a large increase in financial market uncertainty

Answers

Answer:

With the large increase in financial market uncertainty, the mix between internal financing and external financing for new investment projects will tether towards internal sources of funding.

Explanation:

This means that the larger proportion of finance for new investment projects must come from internal sources rather than external sources.  The companies will, therefore, experience much more pressure to generate and retain sufficient profits than it would have experienced otherwise.  While this looks like the best way to go, the possibility of success depends on the chunk of the internally-generated funds that the companies already have.

ABC's beginning inventory is $2,000 and its ending inventory is $1,000. The inventory turnover is 6 times. Cost of goods sold for the year must equal:

Answers

Answer:

$9000

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is an example of an activity ratio

Activity ratios calculate the efficiency of performing daily task of a firm

Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory

Average inventory = (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2

($2000 + $1000) / 2 = $1500

6 = cost of goods sold / 1500

To determine cost of goods sold, multiply both sides of the equation by 1500

1500 x 6 = $9000 = cost of goods sold

Per the above information,

Ending account receivable balance = Beginning account receivable + Credit sales - Collections - Written off amount

$93,000 = Beginning account receivable + $108,000 - $142,000 - $130

$93,000 = Beginning accounts receivable - $34,130

Beginning accounts receivable = $93,000 + $34,130 = $127,130

So, the beginning account receivable would be;

The ending accounts receivable is computed as;

= $930 ÷ 1%

After paying her taxes, Jane uses $160 to buy a set of used golf clubs from her neighbor, who then deposits the money into his checking account. Jane deposits the remaining cash from the $500 withdrawal into her savings account. By what dollar amount will the country's money supply change as a result of Jane's actions?

Answers

Answer:

A

M1 change = $500M2 change = $0

B

M1 change = -$340M2 change = -$180

Explanation:

A. M1 includes actual liquid cash in hand as well as cash in checking deposits.

M2 includes M1 as well as savings deposits and time deposits amongst others.

M1 change = +$500

$500 went from the Savings account which was not part of M1 to M1.

M2 change = $0

The money went from Savings to Checking which are both part of M2.

B.

M1 change = -$-180 - ( 500 - 180 -160 ) = -$340

Tax of $180 went out of the supply as tax. Jane deposits the remaining cash after paying $160 for goods into the savings account which is not part of M1. That remaining cash is = 500 - 180 - 160 = $160.

M2 change = -500 + 160 + 160 = -$180

For M2, only taxes will reduce money from it because the rest goes to checking deposits and savings accounts both of which are part of M2

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Flutes= 2,000*2 = 4,000 hours

Clarinets= 1,500*3 = 4,500 hours

Oboes= 1,750*1.5 = 2,625 hours

Total direct labor hours = 11,125

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,948,125 / 11,125

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $265 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Flutes= 4,000* 265= 1,060,000

Clarinets= 4,500*265= 1,192,500

Oboes= 2,625*265= 695,625

Unitary:

Flutes= 265*2= 530

Clarinets= 265*3= 795

Each generator requires 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of testing and can be sold for a $250 profit. Each alternator requires 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of testing and can be sold for a $150 profit. There are 260 hours of wiring time and 140 hours of testing time available in the next production period and Electrotech wants to maximize profit. Formulate an LP model for this problem. Sketch the feasible region for this problem. Determine the optimal solution to this problem using level curves.

Answers

Answer:

Given that generators generate greater profit with less consumption of hours, the maximum profit would be building 130 generators, obtaining $ 32,500 of profit, and there would be 10 hours of testing left over.

Explanation:

Since the Electrotech Corporation manufactures two industrial-sized electrical devices: generators and alternators, and both of these products require wiring and testing during the assembly process, and each generator requires 2 hours of wiring and 1 hour of testing and can be sold for a $ 250 profit, while each alternator requires 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of testing and can be sold for a $ 150 profit, and there are 260 hours of wiring time and 140 hours of testing time available in the next production period and Electrotech wants to maximize profit, to determine this situation the following mathematical logical reasoning must be carried out:

260/2 = 130

140 - 130 = 10

130 generators = 32,500

Thus, given that generators generate greater profit with less consumption of hours, the maximum profit would be building 130 generators, obtaining $ 32,500 of profit, and there would be 10 hours of testing left over.

Explanation:

Using the appraisal method to apportion the cost of an asset to the components of the asset involves the consideration of the appraised cost of each individual item as a portion of the total cost of the asset.

Thus, given that  Rodriguez Company pays $389,610 for real estate with land, land improvements, and a building

Appraised cost of

Land = $247,500

Land improvements = $55,000

Building = $247,500

Total appraised cost of the asset = $247,500 +$55,000 + $247,500

= $550,000

Allocated cost of;

Land = $247,500/$550,000 * $389,610

= $175,324.50

Land improvements = $55,000/$550,000 * $389,610

= $38,961.00

Building = $247,500/$550,000 * $389,610

= $175,324.50

Suppose a firm has 35 million shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $15 per share. The firm also has 200,000 bonds outstanding with a current price of $905.4. The outstanding bonds have yield to maturity 9.4%. The firm's common stock beta is 1.5 and the corporate tax rate is 39%. The expected market return is 14% and the T-bill rate is 3%. What is the WACC for this firm

Answers

Answer:

16%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is given below:

But before that following calculation should be done

Cost of equity

= Risk free rate of return + beta × (market return - risk free rate)

= 3% + 1.5 × (14% - 3%)

= 19.5%

Market value of equity = 35 million shares ×$15 = $525 million

And, the market value of debt = 200,000 × $905.4 = $181.08 million

Now the WACC is

= cost of equity × weight of equity + cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt

= 19.5% × ($525 ÷ 525 + 181.08) + 9.4% × (1 - 0.39) × ($181.08 ÷  525 + 181.08)

= 19.5% ×0.744 + 5.734% × 0.256

= 15.975%

= 16%

Despite this, the Notary Public is still personally responsible for any damages they may have caused, and they risk criminal prosecution as well as the revocation or suspension of their notary public commission.

A few examples of notary fraud include:

ignoring your documents' acknowledgmentcounterfeit stampsletting a signer sign a document without the presence of a notary public

What form do some schools, especially private schools, use in addition to the FAFSA to determine how to award aid? A) FAFSA II B) Core Residency Form C) CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE D) College Access Loan (CAL) Form

Answers

Answer:

C.) CSS/ Financial aid profile

Explanation:

I took the USA Test Prep quiz.

Early deadlines are imposed by many schools and universities that use the FAFSA to calculate financial aid. To decide how to distribute their own funds, certain institutions—mostly private colleges—use an additional form called the College Scholarship Service Profile, or CSS Profile. Therefore, choice (C) is the best one.

What is CSS Profile?

College students can apply for non-federal financial aid through the CSS Profile, also known as the College Scholarship Service Profile, an online application developed and administered by the College Board, a company based in the United States.

Its main purpose is to provide College Board member institutions with a thorough assessment of students and their families financially and family circumstances for use in determining their eligibility for organizational financial aid. Compared to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, it is more comprehensive.

Hence, option (C) is the most accurate.
