On October 1, 2020 Sheffield Corp. issued 5%, 10-year bonds with a face value of $6140000 at 104. Interest is paid on October 1 and April 1, with any premiums or discounts amortized on a straight-line basis. Bond interest expense reported on the December 31, 2020 income statement of Sheffield Corp. would be:_________
Answer: $70610
Explanation:
Following the information given, the issue price of the bond will be:
= $6,140,000 × 1.04
= $6,385,600
The premium on bonds payables will be:
= $6,385,600 - $6,140,000
= $245,600
Cash interest Payables will be:
= 6,140,000 × 5% × 3/12
= $76,750
Bond Premium amortization for Each Year will be:
= 245,600 / 10
= $24,560
Then, the premium amortized will be:
= $24,560 × 3/12
= $6,140
Therefore, the interest expenses on Dec 31 will be:
= Cash interset Payables - Premium amortized
= $76,750 - $6,140
= $70,610

asino Inc. expects to pay a dividend of $3 per share at the end of year 1 (Div1) and these dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6 percent per year forever. If the required rate of return on the stock is 18 percent, what is the current value of the stock today?
Answer:
the current stock of the value today is $25
Explanation:
The computation of the current stock of the value today is shown below:
Next year dividend D1 = $3
growth rate g =6% forever
rate of return = 18%
So,
Current Stock Price P = D1 ÷ (r - g)
=3 ÷ (18% - 6%)
= 3 ÷ 12%
= 3 ÷ 0.12
= $25
Hence, the current stock of the value today is $25

The records of the Dodge Corporation show the following results for the most recent year:
Sales (16,000 units) $256,000
Variable expenses $160,000
Net operating income $32,000
Given the provided data, identify the contribution margin.
Answer:
unitary contribution margin= $6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (16,000 units) $256,000
Variable expenses $160,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:
Selling price= 256,000 / 16,000= $16
Unitary variable cost= 160,000 / 16,000= $10
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
unitary contribution margin= 16 - 10
unitary contribution margin= $6

Harrison Ford Company has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ5 at a price of $4.00 each. The new customer is geographically separated from the company's other customers, and existing sales would not be affected. Harrison normally produces 75,000 units of IJ5 per year but only plans to produce and sell 60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $12 per unit. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows:
Direct Materials $1.75
Direct Labor 2.50
Variable Overhead 1.50
Fixed Overhead 3.25
Total $9.00
Required:
a. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
b. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Answer:
a. The relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives are as follows:
Relevant costs = $57,500
Relevant benefits = $40,000
b. Operating income will decrease if the order is accepted by $17,500.
Explanation:
a. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
Note that accepting the special order will increase the planned production from 60,000 to 70,00. Since this still lower than normal 75,000 units of production, this implies that Fixed Overhead will not be incurred when the order is accepted. Therefore, the Fixed Overhead is not relevant in this situation.
Therefore, the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives are as follows:
Relevant costs = Units of special order * (Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overhead) = 10,000 * ($1.75 + $2.50 + $1.50) = $57,500
Relevant benefits = Revenue from the special order = Units of special order * Unit price of special order = $10,000 * $4 = $40,000
b. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Amount of decrease in operating income = Relevant costs - Relevant benefits = $57,500 - $40,000 = $17,500
Since the relevant costs will greater than the relevant benefits, it can be observed from the calculation above that operating income will decrease if the order is accepted by $17,500.

Unlike a stock dividend, a stock split _____. multiple choice is always recorded at market value does not change total stockholders' equity reduces the par value of the stock increases the total number of shares outstanding
Answer:
reduces the par value of the stock.
Explanation:
A stock is also referred to as equity and it can be defined as a security that represents a stockholder's ownership of a fraction of a corporation.
The par value of a stock is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a stock gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid.
A stock is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a stock would be issued at par (face) value when the stock's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
Stockholders' equity can be defined as the amount of assets remaining or the residual interest of assets in a business after all liabilities are settled or deducted. A stockholders' equity is calculated by deducting or subtracting the value of liabilities from the value of assets on the balance sheet of a company.
Additionally, statement of changes in stockholders' equity is a financial statement that illustrate a summary of the changes in shareholders' equity (gains and losses that increase or decrease stockholders' equity respectively) over the reporting period.
In Trading and securities, a stock split reduces the par value of the stock whereas a stock dividend increases the par value of a stock.
The unit quantity standard of a product is 3 pounds per package, and the unit quantity standard for machine hours is 0.40 hours per package. During August, 210,000 packages were produced. 440,000 pounds and 85,000 hours were used in production. How many pounds and how many machine hours should have been used for the actual output
Answer:
The pounds of materials should have been
= 630,000 pounds.
The machine hours should have been
= 84,000 hours.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Standard materials per package = 3 pounds
Standard machine hours per package = 0.40 hours
Actual production units during August = 210,000 units
Actual materials used = 440,000 pounds
Actual machine hours used = 85,000 hours
Standard materials = 630,000 pounds (210,000 * 3)
Standard machine hours = 84,000 hours (210,000 * 0.40)

Ignacio, Inc., had after-tax operating income last year of $1,196,500. Three sources of financing were used by the company: $2 million of mortgage bonds paying 4 percent interest, $4 million of unsecured bonds paying 6 percent interest, and $9 million in common stock, which was considered to be relatively risky (with a risk premium of 8 percent). The rate on long-term treasuries is 4 percent. Ignacio, Inc., pays a marginal tax rate of 30 percent.
Required:
Calculate the after-tax cost of each method of financing. Enter your answers as decimal values rounded to three places. For example, 4.36% would be entered as ".044".
Mortgage bonds __________
Unsecured bonds __________
Common stock __________
Answer:
Mortgage bonds after-tax cost:
= Interest rate * (1 - tax rate)
= 4% * ( 1 - 30%)
= 4% * 70%
= 2.8%
Unsecured bonds after-tax cost:
= 6% * (1 - 30%)
= 6% * 70%
= 4.2%
Common stock:
= Long term treasury rate + risk premium
= 4% + 8%
= 12%
Gilchrist Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the machine-hours for the upcoming year at 44,800 machine-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $4.65 per machine-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,239,616. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer: $32.32
Explanation:
From the information given, the predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year will be calculated thus:
= Total manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine hours
= $1,447,936 / 44,800
= $32.32 per machine hour
Total manufacturing overhead was calculated as:
Estimated fixed overhead = $1,239,616
Estimated variable overhead = 44,800 × $4.65 = $208320
Total manufacturing overhead = $1,447,936
On its December 31, 2017, balance sheet, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000. Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600. The balances for equipment and accumulated depreciation, respectively, on the December 31, 2018 budgeted balance sheet are:
Answer:
The cost balance on 31 December 2018 is $518,000 while that of accumulated depreciation is $126,400
Explanation:
The balance of fixed assets is computed as
Opening balance - accumulated depreciation - depreciation + Addition - Disposal
Hence given that on December 31, 2017, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000, Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600 the balance then
= $470,000 + $100,000 - $52,000
= $518,000
The accumulated depreciation
= $94,000 + $40,000 - $7,600
= $126,400

If a firm has a cash cycle of 30 days and an operating cycle of 64 days, what is its average payment period
Answer: 34 days
Explanation:
The average payment period is a measure that is used to show the time the firm takes on average to pay its creditors.
The formula is:
Cash cycle = Operating cycle - Average payment period
30 = 64 - APP
APP + 30 = 64
APP = 64 - 30

On January 1, 2021, Princess Corporation leased equipment to King Company. The lease term is 11 years. The first payment of $700,000 was made on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost Princess Corporation $4,641,167. The present value of the lease payments is $5,001,197. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease
Answer: $403,221.67
Explanation:
Interest revenue in 2022 = Value of Lease payments in 2022 * Interest rate
Value of lease payments after first payment :
= 5,001,197 - 700,000
= $4,301,197
Value of lease payments after second payment in 2022:
= Value of lease payment after first payment + Interest revenue - lease payment
= 4,310,197 + (4,310,197 * 10%) - 700,000
= $4,032,216.70
Interest revenue in 2022 = 4,032,216.70 * 10%
= $403,221.67

Answer:
$3,411,922.19
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement
First step is calculate interest for the first six months
Interest for the first six months=[$23,000,000-lease payment of 3,287,947) × 9%]
Interest for the first six months=$19,712,053×9%
Interest for the first six months=$1,774,084.77
Interest for the first six months=$1,774,085 (Approximately)
Second step is to calculate the interest for the second six months
Interest for the second six months=[$23,000,000 - lease payment of 3,287,947 - ($3,287,947 - $1,774,085)] × 9%
Interest for the second six months=($19,712,053-$1,513,862)×9%
Interest for the second six months=$18,198,191×9%
Interest for the second six months=$1,637,837.19
Now let determie the interest revenue using this formula
Interest revenue=Interest for the first six months+Interest for the second six months
Let plug in the formula
Interest revenue=$1,774,085+$1,637,837.19
Interest revenue=$3,411,922.19
Therefore the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement is $3,411,922.19.
A new employee, John Chapman, earns $10 per hour and gets time-and-a-half over 40 hours per week. His first week he worked 45 hours. Deductions from his check were $30 for OASDI, $7 for Medicare, $ 61 for federal income tax withholding, and $15 for a United Way contribution. What was his gross pay for the period
Answer: $475
Explanation:
Gross pay is:
= Regular pay + Overtime
= (Regular hours * Regular pay) + ( Overtime hours * regular pay * time and a half)
= (10 * 40 hours) + ( (45 - 40 hours) * 10 * 1.5)
= 400 + 75
= $475

Berkeley Corporation has a policy of furnishing new automobiles to the athletic department of the local university. The automobiles are used for short periods of time by the extremely popular head basketball coach. When the automobiles are returned to Berkeley Corporation, they are sole to regular customers. The owner of Berkeley Corporation maintains that any such cars held for more than one year should qualify as Sec. 1231 property. Do you agree?
Answer:
Berkeley Corporation
No. I do not agree with the owner of Berkeley Corporation.
Vehicles or automobiles are section 1245 property and not section 1231.
Explanation:
The IRS regards Section 1231 properties to include buildings, machinery, land, timber, and other natural resources, unharvested crops, cattle, livestock, and leaseholds that are held in a business or trade for at least one year. They are used in trade and not for sale. On the other hand, Section 1245 properties include all depreciable or amortizable tangible personal property, such as furniture, automobiles, and equipment, or other intangible personal property, such as a patent or license.
Based on the information given, it's not section 1231. Therefore, I do not agree with the owner of Berkeley Corporation.
Section 1231 simply means a term that is used to describe a property relating to the United States Internal Revenue Code. Vehicles or automobiles are section 1245 property and not section 1231.
The Internal Revenue Service regards Section 1231 properties like buildings, machinery, land, timber, and other natural resources, unharvested crops, cattle, livestock, etc. Section 1245 represents properties that are depreciable like furniture, automobiles, equipment, etc.

Consider a coupon bond with a 5% coupon rate. It will mature in one year and its yield to maturity is 10%. If the 1-year interest rate increases to 12% over the course of the year, what is the return on the bond?
Answer:
$95.45
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the price of the bond using both yields to maturity
Current Price
Use the following formula to calculate the price of the bond
P = ( C x PVAF ) + ( F x PVF )
Where
F =Face value = $1,000
C =Coupon Payment = $1,000 x 5% = $50
PVAF = ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-1 ) / 10% = 0.90909091
PVF = 1 / ( 1 + 10% )^1 = 0.90909091
Placing values in the formula
P = ( $50 x 0.90909091 ) + ( $1,000 x 0.90909091 )
P = $954.55
After 1 Year
The Bond will be matured on this time
At the of Maturity the price of the bond will be equal to the face value
Price of the bond = $1,000
Now calculate the return on the bond
Return on the bond = Coupon Interest + Price appreciation
Where
Coupon Interest = $50
Price appreciation = $1,000 - $954.55 = $45.45
Placing values in the formula
Return on the bond = $50 + $45.45 = $95.45

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Machine hours Utility cost
January 950 $5,500
February 1,850 $7,000
March 2,500 $8,100
April 650 $3,420
To calculate the unitary cost per machine hour, we need to use the high-low method:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (8,100 - 3,420) / (2,500 - 650)
Variable cost per unit= $2.53
Allied Co has cumulative preferred stock with a $100 par value and a 12 percent annual dividend. No dividend has been paid for the past two years. What must the preferred stockholders be paid prior to paying the common stockholders
Answer:
Allied Co.
The amount that must be paid to the preferred stockholders prior to paying the common stockholders is:
= $36.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cumulative preferred stock = $100 par value
Annual dividend on the preferred stock = 12%
Annual dividend on the preferred stock = $12
Cumulative preferred stock dividend = $24 ($12 * 2)
The amount of dividend to pay preferred stock = $36 ($24 + $12)
b) $24 was in arrears for the past 2 years. In the current year, $12 is due to the preferred stockholders as dividends. This adds up to $36 in total to be paid this year before any dividends can be paid to the common stockholders.
