Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Administration Cost Allocated To Domestic is $197,183.

Administration Cost Allocated To International is $152,817.

Accounting Cost Allocated To Domestic is $29,400.

Accounting Cost Allocated To International is $117,600.

Explanation:

The Direct Method used for allocating Services Departments Cost to Operating Departments ignores the services used by service departments and allocate costs just to operating departments based on each department's consumption of allocation base. So, the costs of Administration and Accounting departments will be allocated to Domestic and International Departments.

Allocation of Administration Department Cost:

Domestic

Direct Cost of Administration * (No. of Employees in Domestic / Total No. of Employee in Operating Departments)

⇒ 350,000 * (40 / 71) = $197,183.

International

Administration Cost Allocated = 350,000 * (31 / 71) = $152,817.

Allocation of Accounting Department Cost:

Domestic

Direct Cost of Accounting * (No. of Transactions in Domestic / Total No. of Transactions in Operating Departments)

⇒ 147,000 * (19,000 / 95,000) = $29,400.

International

Accounting Cost Allocated = 147,000 * (76,000 / 95,000) = $117,600.

Stanley Roper has $2,300 that he is looking to invest. His brother approached him with an investment opportunity that could give Patrick $4,800 in 4 years. What interest rate would the investment have to yield in order for Stanley’s brother to deliver on his promise? (Answer needs to be stated as a decimal. For example: .1192) Round to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

20.19%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate)^number of years

where,

Present value = $2,300

Future value = $4,800

Time period = 4 years

So, the interest rate is

$4,800 = $2,300 × (1 + rate)^4

2.086957 = (1 + rate)^4

So after solving this, the interest rate is 20.19%

Castles in the Sand generates a rate of return of 20% on its investments and maintains a plowback ratio of .30. Its earnings this year will be $5 per share. Investors expect a 12% rate of return on the stock.a. Find the price and P/E ratio of the firm.

b. Find the price and P/E ratio of the firm if the plowback ratio is reduced to 0.20.

Answers

Answer:

a. Earnings per share = $5

Expected dividend per share(D1) = 70% x $5 = $3.50

Current market price(Po) =  D1/Ke - g

Current market price(Po) = $3.50/0.12-0.06

                                   Po = $3.50/0.06

                                   Po = $58.33

Growth rate(g) = b x r

                        = 0.3 x 0.2

                        = 0.06

Price-earnings(P/E) ratio = market price per share/Earnings per share

                                        = 58.33/5

                                        = 11.67

b. Earnings per share = $5

D1 = 80% x $5 = $4

Po =  D1/Ke - g

Po = $4/0.12-0.04

Po = $50

g = b x r

g = 0.2 x 0.2

g = 0.04                            

P/E ratio = $50/$5

P/E ratio = 10

Explanation:

In this question, there is need to determine the growth rate, which is a function of return on investment and plowback ratio. Then, we will calculate the current market price as shown above. Finally, the current market price is divided by earnings per share in order to obtain the P/E ratio.

Rebel Technology maintains its records using cash-basis accounting. During the year, the company received cash from customers, $43,000, and paid cash for salaries, $23,500. At the beginning of the year, customers owe Rebel $1,000. By the end of the year, customers owe $6,600. At the beginning of the year, Rebel owes salaries of $5,600. At the end of the year, Rebel owes salaries of $3,300. Determine cash-basis net income and accrual-basis net income for the year.

Answers

Answer:

The cash-basis net income and accrual-basis net income for the year is $19,500 and $22,800 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Net income under cash basis:

= Received cash from customers - paid cash for salaries

= $43,000 - $23,500

= $19,500

2. Net income under accrual basis:

= Cash received - salary paid

where,

Cash received = Cash owed at the end of the year + cash received - cash owed at the beginning of the year

= $6,600 + $43,000 - $1,000

= $48,600

And, the salary paid = salary owed at the end of the year + salary paid - salary owed at the beginning of the year

= $5,600 + $23,500 - $3,300

= $25,800

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $48,600 - $25,800

= $22,800

1. Cash basis in as accounting method that recognizes revenues and expenses only when the cash is received or paid out.

Net income under cash basis = Received cash from customers - Cash paid for salaries

Net income under cash basis = $43,000 - $23,500

Net income under cash basis = $19,500

2. Accrual basis is as accounting method where accounting transactions are recorded for revenue when earned and expenses when incurred.

Net income under  accrual basis = Cash received - Salary paid

Net income under  accrual basis = (Cash owed at the end of the year + Cash received - Cash owed at the beginning of the year) - (Salary owed at the end of the year + Salary paid - Salary owed at the beginning of the year)

Net income under  accrual basis = ($6,600 + $43,000 - $1,000) - ($5,600 + $23,500 - $3,300)

Net income under accrual basis = $48,600 - $25,80

Net income under accrual basis = $22,800

Consider a firm with a contract to sell an asset for $138,000 five years from now. the asset costs $74,000 to produce today. given a relevant discount rate on this asset of 12 percent per year, calculate the profit the firm will make on this asset.

Answers

The cost to produce today = 74000

At a discount of 12%, the future value of costs in 5 years = PV*(1+r)^n where PV = 74000, r= 12% = 0.12 and n = 5 years = 5

The value of costs in 5 years = 74000*(1+0.12)^5

The value of costs in 5 years = 74000*1.12^5

The value of costs in 5 years 130,413.28

Price in 5 years = 138,000

Profit = 138,000-130,413.28 =  7,586.72

The profit the firm will make on this asset (considering time value of money) = $7,586.72

Earnings available to common shareholders are defined as net profitsSelect one:a. after taxes.b. after taxes minus preferred dividends.c. after taxes minus common dividends.d. before taxes.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is b. after taxes minus preferred dividends.

Explanation:

Net profit:Add all the revenues of the firm and deduct all the expenses of the firm. If the amount come in positive, the firm earns profit else suffered loss.

In mathematically,

Net profit = Sales revenue - all expenses

The earning which is available to shareholders is net profit after paying preference dividend to preference shareholders.

As first we have to pay the dividend to preference shareholders then we distribute the income to equity shareholders.

In mathematically,

EBIT - taxes - Preferred dividend

Hence, the correct option is b. After taxes minus preferred dividends.
