Answer:
A. Increase; Deposits
B. Initial Value 15; New Value 16
C. The aim of Capital requirement is to protect the interests of all depositors.
Explanation:
A. This would increase the loans account and INCREASE the DEPOSITS account since the double entry principle state that every Debit entry must have a corresponding Credit entry and every Credit entry must have a corresponding Debit entry, therefore based on the information given assuming the new customer adds the amount of $100 to his account at the Mutual Bank, which we were told that the owners of the bank then use to make $100 worth of new loans, in this case both the loans and deposits will be have to increase by the amount of $100.
B. Calculation to determine the leverage ratio from its initial value to a new value
Calculation for Leverage Ratio using this formula
Leverage Ratio = Reserves+Loans+Securities/Capital
Let plug in the formula
Leverage Ratio = $150+$600+$750/$100
Leverage Ratio = $1,500/$100
Leverage Ratio =15
Calculation for New Leverage Ratio
Using this formula
New Leverage Ratio=Reserves+(Loans+increase in loans)+Securities/Capital
Let plug in the formula
New Leverage Ratio=$150+($600+$100)+$750/$100
New Leverage Ratio=$150+$700+$750/$100
New Leverage Ratio=$1,600/$100
New Leverage Ratio=16
Therefore This would also bring the leverage ratio from its INITIAL VALUE of 15 to a NEW VALUE of 16
C.The aim of CAPITAL REQUIREMENT is to protect the interests of all depositors.
Janes, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $410,000 and would last for 5 years, at the end of which, the machine would have a salvage value of $41,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $101,000 per year. Additional working capital of $3,000 would be needed immediately, all of which would be recovered at the end of 5 years. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects.
Required:
Determine the net present value of the project. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
- $33,678.21
Explanation:
Cash flow Summary of the Project will be as follows
Year 0 = $410,000 + $3,000 = - $413,000
Year 1 = $101,000
Year 2 = $101,000
Year 3 = $101,000
Year 4 = $101,000
Year 5 = $101,000 + $41,000 + 3,000 = $145,000
So the Net Present Value can now be calculated using the CFj function of a Financial calculator as follows :
- $413,000 CF 0
$101,000 CF 1
$101,000 CF 2
$101,000 CF 3
$101,000 CF 4
$145,000 CF 5
i/yr = 13%
Shift NPV = - $33,678.21
To combat a recession with discretionary fiscal policy, Congress and the president should A) decrease government spending to balance the budget. C) lower interest rates and increase investment by increasing the money supply. B) decrease taxes to increase consumer disposable income. D) raise taxes on interest and dividends, but not on personal income.
Answer:
B) decrease taxes to increase consumer disposable income.
Explanation:
Recession can be defined as a period of economic meltdown, in which there's a general decline in all economic activities such as trade.
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
Furthermore, if during a severe recession, Congress passes legislation to cut taxes, this would be an example of an expansionary fiscal policy.
According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers
Hence, to combat a recession with discretionary fiscal policy, Congress and the president should decrease taxes to increase consumer disposable income.
You are upgrading to better production equipment for your firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time. Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by over the current amount of units. If your sales price is per unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade?
Answer:
$473,760
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade
Using this formula
Incremental revenues= Units* Percentage Increase in total sales*Sales price
Let plug in the formula
Incremental revenues=94000 units* 24% * $21
Incremental revenues= $473,760
Therefore the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade will be $473,760

Current Ratio B. Gross Profit Percentage C. Debt Ratio D. Debt to Equity Ratio
Answer:
A. Current Ratio = 5.87
B. Gross Profit Percentage = 49.33%
C. Debt Ratio = 0.31
D. Debt to Equity Ratio = 0.46
Explanation:
The ratios can be calculated for 2021 as follows:
A. Current Ratio
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ………………… (1)
Where:
Current assets = Current assets in 2021 = Cash in 2021 + Accounts Receivable in 2021 + Inventory in 2021 + Prepaid expenses in 2021 = $72,600 + $47,600 + 54,800 + $5,200 = $180,200
Current liabilities = Current liabilities in 2021 = Accounts Payable in 2021 + accrued Liabilities in 2021 = $25,700 + $5,000 = $30,700
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = 180,200 / 30,700 = 5.87
B. Gross Profit Percentage
Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross profit / Sales) * 100 ………………….. (2)
Where:
Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold = $480,000 - $243,200 = $236,800
Sales = $480,000
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Gross Profit Percentage = ($236,800 / $480,000) * 100 = 49.33%
C. Debt Ratio
Debt ratio = Total debts / Total assets …………………………….. (3)
Where:
Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700
Total assets = total assets in 2021 = $224,700
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Debt ratio = $70,700 / $224,700 = 0.31
D. Debt to Equity Ratio
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total debts / Total equity …………………………….. (4)
Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700
Total equity = total equity in 2021 = $154,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Debt to Equity Ratio = $70,700 / $154,000 = 0.46
A process plant making 5000 kg/day of a product selling for $1.75/kg has annual variable pro- duction costs of $2 million at 100 percent capacity and fixed costs of $700,000. What is the fixed cost per kilogram at the breakeven point? If the selling price of the product is increased by 10 percent, what is the dollar increase in net profit at full capacity if the income tax rate is 35 percent of gross earnings?
Answer:
a. Breakeven point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable costs per unit
Variable cost per unit = 2,000,000 / (5,000 * 365 days)
= $1.10
Contribution margin = 1.75 - 1.10
= $0.65
Breakeven point = 700,000 / 0.65
= 1,076,923 kg
Fixed cost per kilogram at those units is:
= 700,000 / 1,076,923
= $0.65
_________________________________________________________
b. Net profit at original prices:
= (Contribution margin * units produced) - Fixed costs
= (0.65 * 5,000 * 365) - 700,000
= $486,250
Less taxes:
= 486,250 * (1 - 35%)
= $316,062.50
Net profit after price increase:
New selling price = 1.75 * 1.1
= $1.93
Net profit = ((Selling price - Variable cost) * units sold) - fixed cost
= ( (1.93 - 1.10) * 5,000 * 365) - 700,000
= $814,750
After tax:
= 814,750 * (1 - 35%)
= $529,587.50
Dollar increase:
= 529,587.50 - 316,062.50
= $213,525
Why don't most tax expenditures help much if your federal tax bill is zero? You don't qualify for tax breaks if your federal tax bill is zero. Taxes are an automatic stabilizer. Most tax expenditures are specifically for high-income people. Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.
Answer: Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.
Explanation:
Tax breaks can be used to reduce your taxable income sometimes all the way to zero. This however simply means that you don't have to pay income tax but does not mean that there won't be other taxes to pay.
Because of these additional taxes left to pay, a person will still pay certain taxes even if their taxable income is below zero. Tax expenditures therefore do not help much with a federal tax bill of zero.
The following information relating to a company's overhead costs is available. Actual total variable overhead $ 75,000 Actual total fixed overhead $ 14,000 Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour $ 2.50 Budgeted total fixed overhead $ 15,000 Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output 32,000 Based on this information, the total variable overhead variance is:
Answer:
$5,000 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the total variable overhead variance is given below:
= Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output × Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour - Actual total variable overhead
= 32,000 hours × $2.50 - $75,000
= $80,000 - $75,000
= $5,000 favorable
Since the favorable is more than the actual so it should be favorable

Do It! Review 11-3a Skysong, Inc. has 2,600 shares of 7%, $130 par value preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, the company declared a $132,000 cash dividend. Determine the dividend paid to preferred stockholders and common stockholders under each of the following scenarios.
Answer:
1. We have:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = $108,340
2. We have:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = $108,340
3. We have:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $70,980
Dividend paid to common stockholders = $61,020
Explanation:
1. The preferred stock is noncumulative, and the company has not missed any dividends in previous years.
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Number of preferred stock outstanding * Preferred stock par value * Preferred stock = 2,600 * $130 * 7% = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Dividend declared - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $132,000 - $23,660 = $108,340
2. The preferred stock is noncumulative, and the company did not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years.
Since the preferred stock is noncumulative, the answers are the as in part 1 as follows:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Number of preferred stock outstanding * Preferred stock par value * Preferred stock = 2,600 * $130 * 7% = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Dividend declared - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $132,000 - $23,660 = $108,340
3. The preferred stock is cumulative, and the company did not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years.
Since the preferred stock is cumulative, this means that the accrued fixed dividends for the two previous years have to be paid together with the current year’s dividend making 3 fixed dividends as follows:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = (Number of preferred stock outstanding * Preferred stock par value * Preferred stock) * 3 = (2,600 * $130 * 7%) * 3 = $70,980
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Dividend declared - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $132,000 - $70,980 = $61,020

UML Foods reported $940 million in income before income taxes for 2020, its first year of operations. Tax depreciation exceeded depreciation for financial reporting purposes by $120 million. The company also had non-tax-deductible expenses of $80 million relating to permanent differences. The income tax rate for 2020 was 35%, but the enacted rate for years after 2020 is 30%. The balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet is:
Answer:
$36,000,000
Explanation:
Note: Permanent differences have no impact on deferred taxes.
Deferred tax liability = $120 million * 30%
Deferred tax liability = $120 million * 0.30
Deferred tax liability = $36,000,000
So, the balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet is $36,000,000.
After-Tax Profit Targets Olivian Company wants to earn $300,000 in net (after-tax) income next year. Its product is priced at $300 per unit. Product costs include: Direct materials $90.00 Direct labor $66.00 Variable overhead $15.00 Total fixed factory overhead $405,000 Variable selling expense is $12 per unit; fixed selling and administrative expense totals $255,000. Olivian has a tax rate of 40 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the before-tax profit needed to achieve an after-tax target of $300,000. $fill in the blank 9853e801101c04e_1 2. Calculate the number of units that will yield operating income calculated in Requirement 1 above. If required, round your answer to the nearest whole unit. fill in the blank 9853e801101c04e_2 units Feedback
Answer:
1. Before-tax profit = $500,000
2. Number of units that will yield the operating income = 9,915 units
Explanation:
1. Calculate the before-tax profit needed to achieve an after-tax target of $300,000.
This can be calculated as follows:
After-tax target = Before-tax profit * (100% - Tax rate) ……………….. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for Before-tax profit, we have:
$300,000 = Before-tax profit * (100% - 40%)
$300,000 = Before-tax profit * 60%
Before-tax profit = $300,000 / 60%
Before-tax profit = $500,000
2. Calculate the number of units that will yield operating income calculated in Requirement 1 above. If required, round your answer to the nearest whole unit.
This can be calculated as follows:
Contribution margin = Selling price per unit - Direct materials per unit - Direct labor per unit - Variable overhead per unit - Variable selling expense per unit = $300 - $90 - $66 - $15 - $12 = $117
Before-tax profit = (Contribution margin * Number of units that will yield the operating income) - Total fixed factory overhead - Fixed selling and administrative expense ………………. (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2) and solve for Number of units that will yield the operating income, we have:
$500,000 = ($117 * Number of units that will yield the operating income) - $405,000 - $255,000
$500,000 + $405,000 + $255,000 = $117 * Number of units that will yield the operating income
$1,160,000 = $117 * Number of units that will yield the operating income
Number of units that will yield the operating income = $1,160,000 / $117 = 9,914.52991452991
Rounding to the nearest whole unit, we have:
Number of units that will yield the operating income = 9,915 units
The balance sheet of ABC reports total assets of $1,500,000 and $1,700,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. Net income and sales for the year are $240,000 and $2,000,000, respectively. What is ABC's return on assets (round to nearest whole percentage, just put in the number with no %)
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
Average Assets = (Opening asset + Closing asset) / 2
Average Assets = ($1,500,000 + $1,700,000) / 2
Average Assets = $3,200,000 / 2
Average Assets = $1,600,000
Return on assets = Net Income / Average assets
Return on assets = $240,000 / $1,600,000
Return on assets = 0.15
Return on assets = 15%
Your company purchased a vacant lot 3 years ago for $1.2 million and at that time spent $100,000 to convert it into a parking lot, which now generates $120,000/year in revenue. You are considering building a distribution center on the lot with a construction cost of $5 million and an annual OCF of $750,000. Which of these cash flows should be included in a capital budgeting analysis for the distribution center?
I. The $1.2 Million purchase price for the lot
II. The $100,000 conversion cost
III. The $120,000/ year parking revenue
IV. The $5 million construction cost for the distribution center
V. The $750,000/year OCF from the distribution center
a. I and II only
b. I, III, IV only
c. IV, and V only
d. III, IV, and V only
e. ALL of them
Answer:
The cash flows that should be included in a capital budgeting analysis for the distribution center are:
d. III, IV, and V only
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Parking Lot Distribution Center
Initial investment costs $1.2 million $5 million
Conversion costs 100,000 0
Annual revenue $120,000 $750,000
b) Not all the cash flows should be included in a capital budgeting analysis for the distribution center. The initial investment and conversion costs are sunk costs. The annual revenue from the parking lot becomes an opportunity cost when the lot is converted to a distribution center.

Interest cost = $150 million - $120 million + $10 million
Interest cost = $40 million
Which of the following statements is TRUE? Group of answer choices Dependent demand is directly related to the demand of other stock-keeping units (SKUs) and can be calculated without needing to be forecasted. When using ABC analysis, C items require close control by operations managers as they account for a large dollar value but a relatively small percentage of total items. Stockouts occur in a fixed-quantity system (FQS) whenever the lead-time demand exceeds the replenishment level (M). Inventory is any physical asset held for future use or sale.
Answer:
A). Dependent demand is directly related to the demand of other stock-keeping units (SKUs) and can be calculated without needing to be forecasted.
Explanation:
The first statement asserts a true claim as it correctly states that 'dependent demand is promptly associated to the demand of further SKUs and therefore, it can be measured without requiring any prediction.' Dependent demand is characterized as a demand that is reliant on the other products' demand. This is why such demands are directly influenced by a rise or fall in the other products' demand and this is the reason due to which dependent demand can be calculated easily without any prediction because it will observe a similar impact as its associated product would face. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
An injection-molding machine has a first cost of $1,050,000 and a salvage value of $225,000 in any year. The maintenance and operating cost is $235,000 with an annual gradient of $75,000. The MARR is 10%. What is the most economic life
Dechow Company has outstanding 20,000 shares of $50 par value, 6% cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $10 par value common stock. The company declares and pays cash dividends amounting to $160,000.
a. If there are no preferred dividends in arrears, how much in total dividends, and in dividends per share, does Dechow pay to each class of stock?
b. If there are one year’s dividends in arrears on preferred stock, how much in total dividends, and in dividends per share, does to each class of stock?
Answer:
a. Dividends to Preferred shareholders:
Total dividends:
= 20,000 * 50 * 6%
= $60,000
Dividends per preferred share:
= 60,000 / 20,000 shares
= $3.00 per share
Common shareholder dividends
Common shareholders get the remaining dividends that did not go to Preferred shareholders:
= 160,000 - 60,000
= $100,000
Common dividends per share:
= 100,000 / 50,000 shares
= $2.00 per share
b. These are cumulative preferred shares which means that accrued dividends must be paid off:
Preferred shares in total would be:
= 60,000 * 2
= $120,000
Preferred dividends per share:
= 120,000 / 20,000
= $6.00 per share
Common dividends in total:
= 160,000 - 120,000
= $40,000
Common dividends per share:
= 40,000 / 50,000 shares
= $0.80 per share

An ______ in the interest rate (r), ceteris paribus, will cause planned investment to ______.
Answer:
An increase in the interest rate (r), ceteris paribus, will cause planned investment to decrease.
Explanation:
An increase in the interest rates determined by the Federal Reserve would imply that the American financial system would pay larger sums of money for direct investments in banks or bonds, which would stop capital investment outside the public financial system, that is, in stocks. private, real estate investments, etc., since money would be invested at a higher profit in safer sectors of the market.

A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;
1. Core benefit.
2. Generic product.
3. Expected product.
4. Augmented product.
5. Potential product.
The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.
Hence, for the products launched by companies to succeed, it is important that all the functional areas of the business are coordinated with marketing decisions.
Marketing mix can be defined as the choices about product attributes, pricing, distribution, and communication strategy that a company blends and offer its targeted markets (customers) so as to build and maintain a desired response.

Answer:
is the practice of posting a discrete schedule of declining prices for different ranges of quantities
Explanation:
In the case of the second degree price discrimination, the firm should chares the different kinds of the prices as per the quantity demanded i.e. if the large quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the less price and if the small quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the high prices. The motive behind this is to motivate the bulk sales that means when the buyer purchased the products in bulk so he will get the high discounts
Therefore the third option is correct

Some of the characteristics of money includes the following statements;
1. The basic determinant of the transactions demand for money is the level of nominal GDP.
2. The basic determinant of the asset demand for money is the interest rate.
3. Total money demand is the horizontal sum of the transactions demand for money and the asset demand for money.

Bugle's Bagel Bakery is investigating the purchase of a new bagel making machine. This machine would provide an annual operating cost savings of $3,650 for each of the next 4 years. In addition, this new machine would allow the production of one new type of bagel which would result in selling 1,500 dozen more bagels each year. The company earns a contribution margin of $0.90 on each dozen bagels sold. The purchase price of this machine is $13,450 and it will have a 4 year useful life. Bugle's discount rate is 14%. (Ignore income taxes.)
The total annual cash inflow from this machine for capital budgeting purposes is:
a. $4,750
b. $5,150
c. $5,000
d. $3,650
Answer:
Total annual cash inflow= $5,000
Explanation:
The total annual cash inflow will be the sum of the savings in operating costs and the incremental contribution from the sale of the bagels.
Annual contribution from Bagel = 1,500×$0.90=1350
Operating cost savings = 3,650
Total annual cash inflow = 1,350 + 3,650 =5,000
Total annual cash inflow= $5,000

Question 4
Write a short essay about Controlling Inventory".
Explanation:
The necessity of inventory control is to maintain a reserve (store) of goods that will ensure manufacturing according to the production plan based on sales requirements and the lowest possible ultimate cost.
Losses from improper inventory control include purchases in excess than what needed, the cost of slowed up production resulting from material not being available when wanted. Each time a machine is shut down for lack of materials or each time sale is postponed or cancelled for lack of finished goods. Thus a factory loses money.
To promote smooth factory operation and to prevent piling up of stock or idle machine time proper quantity of material must be on hand when it is wanted. Proper inventory control can reduce such losses to a great extent.
Pastner Brands is a calendar-year firm with operations in several countries. As part of its executive compensation plan, at January 1, 2021, the company issued 320,000 executive stock options permitting executives to buy 320,000 shares of Pastner stock for $28 per share. One-fourth of the options vest in each of the next four years beginning at December 31, 2021 (graded vesting). Pastner elects to separate the total award into four groups (or tranches) according to the year in which they vest and measures the compensation cost for each vesting date as a separate award. The fair value of each tranche is estimated at January 1, 2021, as follows:
Vesting Date Amount Vesting Fair Value per Option
Dec. 31, 2018 25% $4.00
Dec. 31, 2019 25% $4.40
Dec. 31, 2020 25% $4.80
Dec. 31, 2021 25% $5.60
Required:
a. Determine the compensation expense related to the options to be recorded each year 2018-2021, assuming Pastner allocates the compensation cost for each of the four groups (tranches) separately.
b. Determine the compensation expense related to the options to be recorded each year 2018-2021, assuming Pastner uses the straight-line method to allocate the total compensation cost.
Answer:
Pastner Brands
a. Compensation expense related to the options to be recorded each year, allocated with separate tranches:
Vesting Date Amount Vesting Fair Value Compensation
per Option Expense
Dec. 31, 2018 25% = 80,000 $4.00 $320,000
Dec. 31, 2019 25% = 80,000 $4.40 352,000
Dec. 31, 2020 25% = 80,000 $4.80 384,000
Dec. 31, 2021 25% = 80,000 $5.60 448,000
Total 100% 320,000 $1,504,000
b. Compensation expense related to the options, allocated using the straight-line method:
= $376,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Executive stock options issued = 320,000
Options exercise price = $28 per share
Number of tranches for the options = 4
Number of options exercisable in each tranche = 80,000
Vesting Date Amount Vesting Fair Value Compensation
per Option Expense
Dec. 31, 2018 25% = 80,000 $4.00 $320,000 (80,000 * $4.00)
Dec. 31, 2019 25% = 80,000 $4.40 352,000 (80,000 * $4.40)
Dec. 31, 2020 25% = 80,000 $4.80 384,000 (80,000 * $4.80)
Dec. 31, 2021 25% = 80,000 $5.60 448,000 (80,000 * $5.60)
Total 100% 320,000 $1,504,000
Compensation expense, using the straight-line method = $376,000 ($1,504,000/4)
