Computing Depreciation, Net Book Value, and Gain or Loss on Asset Sale
Lynch Company owns and operates a delivery van that originally cost $46,400. Lynch has recorded straight-line depreciation on the van for four years, calculated assuming a $5,000 expected salvage value at the end of its estimated six-year useful life. Depreciation was last recorded at the end of the fourth year, at which time Lynch disposes of this van.
A. Compute the net book value of the van on the disposal date.
B. Compute the gain or loss on sale of the van if the disposal proceeds are:
1. A cash amount equal to the van's net book value.
2. $22, 500 cash.
3. $18, 500 cash.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

A. The net book value is

Before that the depreciation expense is

Depreciation per year is

= (Purchase Cost - Residual value) ÷ (Useful life)

= ($46,400 - $5,000) ÷ (6)

= $6,900

Now

A. The Netbook value as on disposal date is

= $46,400 - ($6,900 × 4 years)

= $18,800

B. The gain or loss on the sale of the van is

1. The equivalent amount i.e. gain is $18,800

2. The gain is

= $22,500 - $18,800

= $3,700

3. The loss is

= $18,500 - $18,800

= -$300

Dewey Corp. is expected to have an EBIT of $2.45 million next year. Depreciation, the increase in net working capital, and capital spending are expected to be $180,000, $85,000, and $185,000, respectively. All are expected to grow at 18 percent per year for four years. The company currently has $13 million in debt and 800,000 shares outstanding. The company’s WACC is 9.1 percent and the tax rate is 21 percent. You decide to calculate the terminal value of the company with the price-sales ratio. You believe that Year 5 sales will be $27.4 million and the appropriate price-sales ratio is 1.9. What is your estimate of the current share price?

Answers

Answer:

 $41.13              

Explanation:

The current share price can be calculated by first deducting the debt from the firm value then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. To calculate the firm value first we need to calculate the free cash flows and after calculating free cashflows we will multiply them with the Compan's WACC to reach the present value of each free cash flow

DATA

EBIT = 2.45m

WACC = 9.1%

Tax rate = 21%

Debt  = 13m

Outstanding shares = 800,000

Selected transactions for the Sleezer Company are listed below.
1. Paid monthly utility bill.
2. Purchased new display case for cash.
3. Paid cash for repair work on security system.
4. Billed customers for services performed.
5. Received cash from customers billed in transaction 4.
6. Dividends paid to owners.
7. Incurred advertising expenses on account.
8. Paid monthly rent.
9. Received cash from customers when service was rendered.

Answers

Answer:

1. Paid monthly utility bill.  - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.

Cash (asset) will be used to pay the utility bill and this will reduce Net Income (stockholders equity).

2. Purchased new display case for cash.  - Increase in assets and decrease in assets.

The new display will be a fixed asset so asset will increase but it will reduce the cash balance which is also an asset.

3. Paid cash for repair work on security system.  - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.

The repair work is an expense so it will reduce Net income(equity) and it will reduce cash as well.

4. Billed customers for services performed.  - Increase in assets and increase in stockholders’ equity.

This will increase Accounts receivable (asset) and Net Income (equity).

5. Received cash from customers billed in transaction 4.  - Increase in assets and decrease in assets.

This will reduce the Accounts receivable (asset) and increase Cash (asset). There will be no net effect.

6. Dividends paid to owners.  - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.

This will reduce Cash (asset) as it was used to pay the dividend. It will also reduce Retained earnings (equity).

7. Incurred advertising expenses on account.  - Increase in liabilities and decrease in stockholders’ equity.

Accounts payable increases (liability) and Net income reduces (equity).

8. Paid monthly rent.  - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.

Cash (asset) will be used to pay the rent and this will reduce Net Income (stockholders equity).

9. Received cash from customers when service was rendered. - Increase in assets and increase in stockholders’ equity.

This will increase Cash (asset) and Net Income (equity).

Several factors affect a firm’s need for external funds. Evaluate the effect of each following factor and place a check next to each factor that is likely to increase a firm’s need for external capital—that is, its AFN (additional funds needed). Check all that apply. The firm increases its dividend payout ratio. The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast. The firm previously thought its fixed assets were being operated at full capacity, but now it learns that it actually has excess capacity. Dividends to common shareholders are paid out of after-tax earnings. Do these payouts affect a firm’s AFN? No, dividends do not affect a firm’s AFN, because they are paid out of after-tax earnings. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.

Answers

Answer:

1.

The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.

This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.

The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.

If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.

2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.

Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.

E3-18 Comparing cash and accrual basis accounting and applying the revenue recognition principle Momentous Occasions is a photography business that shoots videos at college parties. The freshman class pays $1,000 in advance on March 3 to guarantee services for its party to be held on April 2. The sophomore class promises a minimum of $2,800 for filming its formal dance and actually pays cash of $4,100 on February 28 at the dance. Answer the following questions about the correct way to account for revenue under the accrual basis:
a. Considering the $1,000 paid by the freshman class, on what date was revenue recognized? Diod the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?
b. Considering the $4,100 paid by the sophomore class, on what date was revenue recognized'? Did the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?

Answers

Answer:

Momentous Occasions

a. Revenue of $1,000 is recognized on April 2, though the cash receipt is recorded on March 3 as deferred revenue.  This means that the recognition occurred on a separate date from when the cash was received.

b. Revenue of $4,100 will be recognized on the date the party is held and not on the February 28 date when the cash was received.  This means that the recognition occurred on a separate date from when the cash was received.

Explanation:

Momentous Occasions is required to recognize revenue on the date the service is performed and not when the cash is received in accordance with the accrual concept, unless it chooses to use the cash basis as a small business.

A restaurant prepares 200.00 pizza slices and sells them at a rate of $12.00/slice. Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for pizza at $5.00 per slice, $103.00 for monthly rental and monthly insurance of $30.00. Lost sale are taken as $6.00 per unhappy customer. Leftover pizza can be sold for $2.00. The restaurant is open only for 25 days in a month. Today there was a party at nearby office so the demand for pizza went up to 223.00 slices. How much profit could the restaurant earn today?

Answers

Answer:

$1428

Explanation:

Profit = Total Revenue - total cost

total revenue = price x quantity sold

total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

total revenue = 223 x $12 = $2676

Variable cost = $5 x 223 = $1115

total fixed cost = $103.00 + $30.00 = $133.00.

Total cost = $1115 + $133 = $1248

profit =  $2676 - $1248 = $1428

Decision Point: How Can You Help the Sales Team Better Understand the Commission Plan? You remember from your discussion with Sean that, "Many members of the sales team don’t seem to understand the commission system, and many see it as unfair." You study the existing commission plan and don’t see anything as inherently unfair, but you have your suspicions as to who might think it unfair. You speak to a number of sales personnel and discover that it is the newer salespeople who see the commission plan as unfair. Commission rates for sales personnel who have been employed by Swazzi for less than two years are lower than for employees who have been at Swazzi for longer than two years. Newer employees believe they put as much effort into each sale as longer-tenured employees and should be rewarded the same. Using expectancy theory, what would you do to address this problem? Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.

Answers

Question Completion with Options:

*Re-evaluate the existing commission plan to determine whether you can eliminate the perception of unfairness. Re-evaluate the base salaries by comparing them to other upscale clothing stores.

*Put all salespeople on the same commission plan regardless of tenure. This will clearly establish a strong relationship between performance and reward for all sales personnel. Increase the base salaries of longer-tenured salespeople who have worked for Swazzi more than two years to reinforce the relationship between their experience/loyalty and their rewards.

*Travel to the stores and explain the system in detail to the sales teams. Tell them you will try to clear up any perceived unfairness once you see whether they are serious about selling

Answer:

*Put all salespeople on the same commission plan regardless of tenure. This will clearly establish a strong relationship between performance and reward for all sales personnel.  Increase the base salaries of longer-tenured salespeople who have worked for Swazzi more than two years to reinforce the relationship between their experience/loyalty and their rewards.

Explanation:

Longer-term sales personnel should be rewarded differently from newer personnel.  But, this differential reward should not be based on the sales commission.  The base salary will be more ideal for this tenure reward.  This will be in line with the Expectancy Theory which states that employees base their individual levels of effort on what is necessary to perform well and earn rewards within the workplace.   The theory also requires that the reward structure is clear with well-defined goals and routine evaluations.  The Expectancy Theory helps workers to put in their best because they are looking forward to some well-defined and clear rewards.

Kyle is a seventeen-years-old minor who has just graduated from high school. He is attending a university two hundred miles from home and has contracted to rent an apartment near the university for one year at $500 per month. He is working at a convenience store to earn enough income to be self-supporting. After living in the apartment and paying monthly rent for four months, he becomes involved in a dispute with is landlord. Kyle, still a minor, moves out and returns the key to the landlord. The landlord wants to hold Kyle liable for the balance of the payments due under the lease. Discuss fully Kyle’s liability in this situation.

Answers

Answer:

kyle does not owe the landlord any liability since the contract is void.

Explanation:

To answer this question i would first explain what disaffirmance means. the term means that to express oneself in a way which shows that they are no longer liable to certain bindings to a contract. A minor is someone who is considered to be younger than 18 years of age. Minors do not have certain rights and obligations and these includes certain civil and political obligations. As a minor kylie has no legal rights to enter a contract with the landlord. The law is protective of people of his age from certain ntypes of responsibilities due to their young age which makes them incapable of handling such. Apart from sports a minor cannot enter into a contract. also we have in this scenario that kyle returned the keys to the landlord and by this action he has shown that he is not bound by any contract with the landlord. since he paid his rent for the period of 4 months, the contract was disaffirmed when he took the keys back to the landlord.

Explanation:

The Wod Chemical Company produces a chemical compound that is used as a lawn fertilizer. The compound can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per day. Annual demand for the compound is 0.6 million pounds per year. The fixed cost of setting up for a production run of the chemical is $1,500, and the variable cost of production is $3.50 per pound. The company uses an interest rate of 22 percent to account for the cost of capital, and the costs of storage and handling of the chemical amount to 12 percent of the value. Assume that there are 250 working days in a year.
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?

first we have to determine the holding cost per unit = h = (22% + 012%) x ($3.5) = $1.19 per unit, per year

then we have to calculate the modified holding cost per year = h' = h x [1 / (D/P)] = $1.19 x [1 / (600,000/2,500,000)] = $0.9044 per unit, per year

now we have to substitute h for h' in the EOQ formula:

Q' = √ [(2 x S x D) / h'] = √ [(2 x $1,500 x 600,000) / $0.9044] = 44,612.44 ≈ 44,612 units

B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?

Time between production runs = Q' / D = 44,612 / 600,000 = 0.07435333

Uptime = Q' / P = 44,612 / 2,500,000 = 0.0178448

Downtime = total time - uptime = 0.07435333 - 0.0178448 = 0.05650853

uptime = 0.0178448 / 0.07435333 = 24% of total time

downtime = 0.05650853 / 0.07435333 = 76% of total time

C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

average annual holding cost and setup costs = (AD/Q') + (h'Q'/2) = [($1,500 x 600,000) / 44,612] + [($0.9044 x 44,612) / 2] = $40,144

profit per unit = $3.90 - $3.50 = $0.40 per pound

total annual profit = ($0.40 x 600,000) - $40,144 = $199,856

Outdoor Expo provides guided fishing tours. The company charges $300 per person but offers a 20% discount to parties of four or more. Consider the following transactions during the month of May.

May 2 Charlene books a fishing tour with Outdoor Expo for herself and four friends at the group discount price ($1,200 = $240 × 5). The tour is scheduled for May 7.
May 7 The fishing tour occurs. Outdoor Expo asks that payment be made within 30 days of the tour and offers a 6% discount for payment within 15 days.
May 9 Charlene is upset that no one caught a single fish and asks management for a discount. Outdoor Expo has a strict policy of no discounts related to number of fish caught.
May 15 Upon deeper investigation, management of Outdoor Expo discovers that Charlene’s tour was led by a new guide who did not take the group to some of the better fishing spots. In concession, management offers a sales allowance of 30% of the amount due.
May 20 Charlene pays for the tour after deducting the sales allowance.

g Time period is important in accounting. Companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period. Assume the company had invested $100,000 in an interest-bearing investment on September 1st of this year. The investment earns 6% interest, but the interest doesn't get paid out until the end of the first six months. What, if any, interest revenue should the company record on their December 31st year ending income statement of this year

Answers

Answer: $2,000

Explanation:

As the question says, companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period. This is the Accrual principle in accounting.

The company gets a return of 6% after a year but this return has to be reflected monthly as it earned.

In a year the return is;

= 6% * 100,000

= $6,000

The investment was made on September 1st so from then to December 31st is 4 months.

The interest earned in this first year is therefore;

= 6,000 * 4/12 months

= $2,000

This is the interest revenue that should be recorded on the December 31st year ending income statement of the year.

why is the GDP become the important factors in decision making in the economic policy?​

Answers

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

GDP is the value of all commodities and services produced within a country's border, in a particular period. Only finished consumer products and services are considered in calculating GDP.

The  GDP value is important because

1. GDP reports the state of a country's economy

An increase in GDP indicates growth in the economy. Growth in real GDP value signifies a health economy that creates adequate job opportunities, increasing incomes, and a wealthier nation. A decline in GDP communicates a recession that requires government

intervention.

2. For investment decisions

Investors use GDP as a reference point when making investment decisions. Declining GDP value indicates bad economic conditions, which will result in lower earnings and reduced stock prices.  Increasing GDP value is associated with good returns and higher stock prices.

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 22% and a standard deviation of 34%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 31 % Stock B 36 % Stock C 33 % Suppose that your client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 18%. a. What is the proportion y? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) b. What are your client’s investment proportions in your three stocks and the T-bill fund? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client’s portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

A.

E(r) = y x R(rp) + (1-y)*rf

0.18 = y * 0.22+(1-y)*0.06

0.18 = 0.22y +0.06 -0.06y

Collect like terms

0.18-0.06 = 0.22y - 0.06y

0.12 = 0.16y

y = 0.12/0.16

= 0.75

= 75%

B.

Stock a = 31% x 0.75

= 0.2325

= 23.25%

Stock b = 36% * 0.75

= 0.27%

Stock c = 33% * 0.75

= 0.2475

= 24.75%

A total of all these stocks gives 100 percent

C.

We have standard deviation = 34%

Y * standard deviation

= 0.75 * 0.34

= 0.255

= 25.5%

A company makes bicycles. It produces 850 bicycles a month. It buys the tires for bicycles from a supplier at a cost of Rs.60 per tire. The company’s inventory carrying cost is estimated to be 15% of cost and the ordering is Rs.90 per order. Compute EOQ.
A: 639 tires

B: 522 tires

C: 580 tires

D: 621 tires

From the information given in the question above , Calculate number of orders to be made per year.

A: 35 orders

B: 39 orders

C: 37 orders

D: 32 orders

Answers

Answer:

B: 522 tires

B: 39 orders

Explanation:

a. Calculation for EOQ

First step is to Calculate the Annual Demand which is D

D = Annual demand = (2 tires per bicycle) x (850 bicycles per month) x (12 months in a year)

D=20,400 tires

Second step the ordering cost is given in the question which is :

S = Ordering cost = 90 per order

Third step is to Calculate the carrying cost which is H

H = carrying cost = (15%) x ($60 per unit)

H= $ 13.50 per unit per year

Last step is to Calculate the EOQ

EOQ = √{ (2 x 20,400 x $90) / $13.50

EOQ= 522 tires

Therefore the EOQ is 522 tires which means that the company should order 522 tires each time they places an order.

b. Calculation for the number of orders per year

Using this formula

Number of orders per year = D / Q

Let plug in the formula

Number of orders per year = 20,400 / 522

Number of orders per year = 39 orders per year

Therefore the Number of orders per year will be

39 orders per year.

Answers

Answer:

quantity of apples in the market to decrease and the equilibrium price of apples to be indeterminate.

Explanation:

The decrease in income would reduce the demand for apples because there would be less disposable income available to buy apples. The decrease in demand would lead to a fall in price and quantity

If 10 orchards go out of business. The supply of apples would reduce. This would reduce quantity and increase price.

Taking these two occurrence together, equilibrium quantity would fall and there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium price

Answers

Answer:

a) 67% of filers surveyed plans to file their taxes electronically.

b) 613 people will use the professionals to prepare their taxes.

Explanation:

Given that;

survey shows 684 of 1021 people would most likely file electronically.

a)

to estimate the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically, we say;

(684 / 1021) * 100% = 0.6699 = 0.67

therefore 67% of filers surveyed plans to file their taxes electronically.

b)

Given that 60% ( 0.6 ) said they would us professionals, now to find how many people did it this way, we say;

( 60 / 100) * 1021 = 612.6 = 613 (we are talking about number of person)

so 613 people will use the professionals to prepare their taxes.

HELPPPPPText (for the second one)The captains needed to keep the slaves in acceptable physical condition if they were to be sold at high prices, so each morning after breakfast the slaves were danced on deck, in order to give them exercise. Still shackled together, the men were forced to jump up and down until often the flesh of their ankles was raw and bleeding from the iron chains from which bound them together. The women and children, who were free of such bonds were better able to dance to the rhythm that was pounded out on an African drum or iron kettle, sometimes with the accompaniment of a fiddle or African banjo played by a crew member. The slaves, otherwise kept miserable in the tween decks, enjoyed this dancing, as it was their only form of physical recreation during the entire day. Each day at sunset the slaves would be placed back below deck to rest in the misery and filth that was the tween decks. QUESTION:2.

The tween decks were often full not only with slaves, both living and dead, but also with blood, vomit, urine, and human waste. Also during periods of inclement weather the slaves were not fed as usual.

At this time the men would be shackled together with iron chains, while the women and children would be allowed to roam about on deck. At about nine o clock in the morning they were given their first meal of the day. Interestingly, slaves from different sections along the West African coast would often be fed different meals. Those from the Northern part of the Guinea coast would be fed boiled rice, millet, or cornmeal. Slaves from the Bight of Biafra had stewed yams, and those from still farther south in the Congo River region would be fed starchy manioc, cassava flour, or banana-like fruits. Sometimes a few lumps of raw meat would be thrown in with their food to keep them healthy. It was also at this time in the morning that the slaves were given their daily ration of a half-pint of water in a small pan, called a pannikin.In the late afternoon came the slaves second and only other meal of the day. Sometimes it was the same as their first, but most captains were not that humane. The afternoon meal usually consisted of horse beans, very large beans which are used to feed horses.
