Ivanhoe, Inc. estimates the cost of its physical inventory at March 31 for use in an interim financial statement. The rate of markup on cost is 20%. The following account balances are available: Inventory, March 1 $540000 Purchases 420000 Purchase returns 10000 Sales during March 720000 The estimate of the cost of inventory at March 31 would be
Answer:
$350,000
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold = $720,000 / 1.20
Cost of goods sold = $600,000
Estimated cost of inventory = Inventory, March 1 + (Purchases - Purchases Return) - Cost of goods sold
Estimated cost of inventory = $540,000 + ($420,000 - $10,000) - $600,000
Estimated cost of inventory = $540,000 + $410,000 - $600,000
Estimated cost of inventory = $350,000
For the first week of the month, the Flour Shop Bakery budgeted to sell 100 cakes at $35 each. They actually sold 105 cakes at $40 each. The selling-price variance is:_________.a) $525 favorable.b) $525 unfavorable.c) $700 favorable.d) $700 unfavorable.
Answer:
a) $525 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price variance is shown below:
The Selling price variance is
= Actual quantity sold × (actual selling price - expected selling price)
= 105 cakes × ($40 - $35)
= 105 cakes × $5
= $525 favorable
Hence, the selling price variance is $525 favorable

One of your team members is struggling with preparation of balance sheet and he needs your assistance in completing it. He has come up with following missing information. You are required to complete this Balance sheet.
Assets Liabilities & Equity
Cash $ 100,000 Current Liabilities
Receivables Long Term Debt
Inventory Total Debt
Plant Common Equity $ 600,000
Total Assets Total Claims
Additional Information:
Current Ratio is 2.5 ; Average Collection Period is 54 days ; Total Debt to Total Assets 40 percent ; Total Asset Turnover is 2 ; Inventory Turnover 5.
Answer:
Balance sheet
Cash $100,000 Current Liabilities $320,000
Receivables $300,000 Long Term Debt $80,000
Inventory $400,000 Total Debt $400,000
Plant $200,000 Common Equity $600,000
Total Assets $1,000,000 Total Claims $1,000,000
Explanation:
a) Total Debt to Total Assets 40 percent:
This means that Equity = 60% (100 - 40%)
If Equity is 60% = $600,000, total claims or assets will be equal to $600,000/60% = $1,000,000
Therefore, total debt = $400,000 (40% of $1,000,000)
b) Total Asset Turnover is 2:
If total assets = $1,000,000 and the total asset turnover is 2 or Turnover/Assets = 2, where total assets = $1,000,000,
Therefore, Turnover = $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 * 2)
c) Inventory Turnover is 5:
Inventory Turnover = Turnover/Inventory = 5
= $2,000,000/Inventory = 5
Inventory = $2,000,000/5 = $400,000
d) Average Collection Period is 54 days:
= Accounts Receivable/Sales x 365 = 54
Accounts Receivable = $2,000,000/365 * 54 = $296,000 or approximately $300,000
Current assets:
Cash = $100,000
Receivables $300,000
Inventory = $400,000
Total = $800,000
e) Current liabilities = Current assets/2.5
= $800,000/2.5
= $320,000
f) Plant = Total assets - current assets
= $1,000,000 - $800,000
= $200,000
g) Long term debt = Total debt - Current liabilities
= $400,000 - $320,000
= $80,000
The EU regulates taxes on Internet sales and the amount of pollution differently than the U.S. government. U.S. companies doing business in the EU:A. Are required to comply with EU regulations only if their main headquarters are located within the European Union B. Must pay taxes to the EU when conducting all business globally if they wish to do any business in the EU. C. Must comply with EU regulations when doing business in the European Union only D. Are never required to comply with EU regulations as long as they are headquartered in the United States E. Have the option to conduct business under either EU or U.S. regulations
Answer: C. Must comply with EU regulations when doing business in the European Union only.
Explanation:
European Union tax and pollution laws are meant to bind only the area in the EU and not other areas. For instance, a Nebraska state law that is not law in other parts of the country only covers Nebraska and so can only be enforced there.
The same logic goes for the EU. Their laws are only applicable if you are in their area of control. This means that U.S. companies doing business in the EU must comply with EU regulations when doing business in the EU only.

The market price of ear buds is $6.00 per pair. Buddies Production CostsQuantity of Ear Buds MC ATC ($) ($)5 - 80 2 515 2.45 4.1520 3.55 425 4 430 5.5 4.2535 6 4.540 8.5 5A. If Buddies wants to maximize its profits, how many pairs of ear buds should it produce?B. At the profit-maximizing quantity, what is the total cost of producing ear buds?C. If the market price for ear buds is $6 per pair, and Buddies produces the profit-maximizing quantity of ear buds, what is Buddies weekly profit?D. If the market price is $5.50 per pair, and Buddies produces the profit-maximizing quantity of ear buds, what is Buddies weekly profit?E. Buddies earns a normal profit whena. marginal cost equals average cost at the minimum of average cost.b. marginal cost equals average cost.c. marginal cost equals marginal revenue at the minimum of marginal cost.d. average cost equals average revenue at the minimum of average cost.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The number of pairs of ear buds that should be produced for maximizing the profits is
As we know that
MR = MC
Q = 35
And also the price is equal to the MC
Hence, the quantity that should be produced would be 35
b). The total cost of producing ear buds for maximizing the profit is
As we know that
TC = ATC × Q
= 4.5 × 35
= $157.5
c. The weekly profit is
As we know that
Profit = TR - TC
= (P - ATC) × Q
= (6 - 4.5) × 35
= $52.5
d) The weekly profit is
Profit= (5.5 - 4.25) × 30
= $37.5
e. The normal profit could be earned at the time when the marginal cost is equivalent to the average cost that contains the minimum
Hence, the option a is correct
A company's income before interest expense and income taxes is $350,000 and its interest expense is $100,000.Its times interest earned ratio is:_________.A) 0.29B) 3.50C) 2.50D) 1.75E) 0.50
Answer:
B) 3.50
Explanation:
The computation of the times interest earned ratio is shown below:
As we know that
Times interest earned ratio is
= Income before interest expense and income taxes ÷ interest expenses
= $350,000 ÷ $100,000
= 3.50
Hence, the times interest earned ratio is 3.50
Therefore the correct option is b.
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Burnett Corp. pays a constant $8.90 dividend on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 12 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 11 percent, what is the current share price?
Answer:
Price today = $57.78196973 rounded off to $57.78
Explanation:
The dividends paid by the stock can be said to be in the form of an annuity as the dividend payment is constant, it occurs after equal interval of time and it is expected for a finite or limited period of time. These satisfy the conditions of being an annuity. We assume that the dividend are paid at the end of the year and this is in form of an ordinary annuity.
To calculate the present value of the stock today, we will use the formula for present value of ordinary annuity. The formula for present value of annuity is attached.
Price today = 8.9 * [ (1 - (1+0.11)^-12) / 0.11 ]
Price today = $57.78196973 rounded off to $57.78

The following is a list of prices for zero-coupon bonds of various maturities. a. Calculate the yield to maturity for a bond with a maturity of (i) one year; (ii) two years; (iii) three years; (iv) four years. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.) YTM Maturity (Years) Price of Bond 920.90 $ 912.97 $ 826.62 $ 785.62 b. Calculate the forward rate for (i) the second year; (ii) the third year; (iii) the fourth year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.) Maturity (years) Price of Bond $ 920.90 912.97 826.62 785.62 Forward Rate Maturity (Years) Price of Bond $ 912.97 $ 826.62 $ 785.62
Answer:
a. Calculation of the yield to maturity for a bond with a maturity years
Yield to Maturity = [(Face value/Bond price)^(1/Time period)] - 1
i. One year = (1000/920.90) - 1 = 0.0858942339 = 8.59%
ii. Two year = (1000/912.97)^(1/2) - 1 = 0.04657835011 = 4.66%
iii. Three year = (1000/826.62)^(1/3) - 1 = 0.06552758403 = 6.55%
iv. Four year = (1000/785.62)^(1/4) - 1 = 0.06217693669 = 6.22%
b. Calculation of the forward rate
Forward rate = [(1 + Next year YTM)^Period / (1+Previous year YTM)^Period} - 1
i. Second year = (1+4.66%)^2/(1+8.59%) - 1 = 0.00872231328 = 0.87%
ii. Third year = (1+6.55%)^2/(1+4.66%) - 1 = 0.08474130517 = 8.47%
iii. Fourth year = (1+6.22%)^2/(1+6.55%) - 1 = 0.05891022055 = 5.89%
Escalation bias refers to the situation in which:_______. a. investors put more money into a failure rather than into a success. b. investors tend to follow the herd. c. investors have a propensity to sell winners too soon and hang on to losers too long. d. investors ignore bad news and overemphasize good news. e. investors are all noise traders.
Answer:
a. investors put more money into a failure rather than into a success.
Explanation:
The escalation bias is a part of behavioral finance. In this the investor is not accepting their mistake if they had done any kind of mistake. Rather accepting it they put more money in the asset that performed poorly also at the same time the bad news is ignored by them, they only focused to invest more and more in the stocks
hence, the correct option is a
Jefferson Company has sales of $300,000 and cost of goods available for sale of $270,000. If the gross profit ratio is typically 30%, the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method would be:________.A. $60,000B. $180,000C. $30,000D. $90,000E. $120,000
Answer:
A. $60,000
Explanation
Calculation for what the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method would be
First step is to calculate the Gross profit
Gross profit= $300,000 *30%
Gross profit= $90,000
Second Step is to calculate the cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold=$300,000-$90,000
Cost of goods sold= $210,000
Last step is to calculate the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method
Using this formula
Estimated cost of the ending inventory=
Cost of goods available for sale- Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Estimated cost of the ending inventory=$270,000-$210,000
Estimated cost of the ending inventory=$60,000
Therefore the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method would be $60,000
On June 8, Williams Company issued an $87,600, 9%, 120-day note payable to Brown Industries. Assuming a 360-day year, what is the maturity value of the note?
Equipment costing $17,500 with an estimated salvage value of $1,180 and an estimated life of 4 years was purchased on October 31, 2019. Using the straight-line depreciation method, what is the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded at December 31, 2019?
Answer:
the depreciation expense recorded is $680
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:
= (Purchase cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated life)
= ($17,500 - $1,180) ÷ ( 4 years)
= $4,080
Now the 2 months depreciation is i.e. from November to December
= $4,080 × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= $680
Hence, the depreciation expense recorded is $680
The demand curve for a monopolist differs from the demand curve faced by a competitive firm because the demand curve for: A. a monopolist lies below its marginal revenue curve. B. a monopolist is the market demand curve. C. a competitive firm is inelastic. D. a competitive firm lies above its marginal revenue curve.
Answer:
B. a monopolist is the market demand curve
Explanation:
As we know that the under monopoly market the firm and the industry are similar to each other also the monopolist determined the price due to this he is a price taker and price maker and the curve of the demand would be downward that shifted from left to right
Therefore in the given situation, the option B is correct

A company’s marketing executives should assess the __________ in terms of a general analysis of a business problem or opportunity the company is facing.a. business situationb. 5Cs
c. STP
d. ARA
Answer:
a is your answer
Explanation:
Assume you have a 1-year investment horizon and are trying to choose among three bonds. All have the same degree of default risk and mature in 10 years. The first is a zero-coupon bond that pays $1,000 at maturity. The second has an 6.2% coupon rate and pays the $62 coupon once per year. The third has a 7.2% coupon rate and pays the $72 coupon once per year.
a. If all three bonds are now priced to yield 7% to maturity, what are their prices?
b. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 7% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
c. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 6% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
Answer:
a. If all three bonds are now priced to yield 7% to maturity, what are their prices?
zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)¹⁰ = $508.35
6.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)¹⁰ = $508.35
PV of coupon payments = $62 x 7.0236 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $435.46
market price = $943.81
7.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)¹⁰ = $508.35
PV of coupon payments = $72 x 7.0236 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $505.70
market price = $1,014.05
b. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 7% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93
before tax holding period return = ($543.93 - $508.35) / $508.35 = 7%
after tax HPR = 7% x 0.8 = 5.6%
6.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93
PV of coupon payments = $62 x 6.5152 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $403.94
market price = $947.87
before tax holding period return = ($947.87 - $943.81 + $62) / $943.81 = 7%
after tax HPR:
($4.06 x 0.8) / $943.81 = 0.34%
($62 x 0.7) / $943.81 = 4.60%
total = 4.94%
7.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93
PV of coupon payments = $72 x 6.5152 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $469.09
market price = $1,013.02
before tax holding period return = ($1,013.02 - $1,014.05 + $72) / $1,014.05 = 7%
after tax HPR:
(-$1.03 x 0.8) / $1,014.05 = -0.08%
($72 x 0.7) / $1,014.05 = 4.97%
total = 4.89%
c. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 6% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90
before tax holding period return = ($591.90 - $508.35) / $508.35 = 16.44%
after tax HPR = 16.44% x 0.8 = 13.15%
6.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90
PV of coupon payments = $62 x 6.8017 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $421.71
market price = $1,013.61
before tax holding period return = ($1,013.61 - $943.81 + $62) / $943.81 = 13.96%
after tax HPR:
($69.80 x 0.8) / $943.81 = 5.92%
($62 x 0.7) / $943.81 = 4.60%
total = 10.52%
7.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90
PV of coupon payments = $72 x 6.8017 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $489.72
market price = $1,081.62
before tax holding period return = ($1,081.62 - $1,014.05 + $72) / $1,014.05 = 13.76%
after tax HPR:
($67.57 x 0.8) / $1,014.05 = 5.33%
($72 x 0.7) / $1,014.05 = 4.97%
total = 10.30%
Why should the people on the RA team be different from the people responsible for correcting deficiencies?a. to avoid potential losses.
b. to increase profitability.
c. to avoid conflicts of interest.
d. to increase survivability.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: To avoid conflicts of interest.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of risk assesstment refers to the process of identifying and analyzing possible future threats that may cause harm to the individuals or the assets of the company and from there on to evalute possible solutions to those situation that the company does not want to. Moreover, the risk manager is the one who should take care of those aspects and therefore that an RA team is the one that is being under his commands and should focus on the fact of identifying and analyzing the problems as well as evaluating instead of correcting some of those deficiencies and therefore that they need to have a different mind in the theme because they need to avoid conflicts of interest with the other team that is responsible from correcting.
