Consider a mutual fund with $240 million in assets at the start of the year and 10 million shares outstanding. The fund invests in a portfolio of stocks that provides dividend income at the end of the year of $2.5 million. The stocks included in the fund's portfolio increase in price by 5%, but no securities are sold and there are no capital gains distributions. The fund charges 12b-1 fees of .75%, which are deducted from portfolio assets at year-end. a. What is the fund's net asset value at the start and end of the year

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Net asset value at the start of the year = $240,000,000 / 10,000,000 shares

Net asset value at the start of the year = $24

Asset in the beginning                                            $240,000,000

Increase in value $240,000,000*5%                     $12,000,000  

Assets at the end                                                    $352,000,000

Less: 12b-1 Charges $352,000,000 * 0.75%)         $2,640,000    

Asset at the end                                                       $349,360,000

Net asset value at the end of the year = $349,360,000/10,000,000 shares

Net asset value at the end of the year = $34.936

Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability

Answers

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:

In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed

But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000

So, here the amount would be

= $6,000 × 35%

= $1,860

Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit

Answers

Answer:

FV= $5,743,491.17

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Present value (PV)= $1,000,000

Number of periods (n)= 30 years

Annual interest= 6% = 0.06

To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 1,000,000*(1.06^30)

FV= $5,743,491.17

Yoshi Co.'s 12/31/2020 inventory on a FIFO basis was $980,000. The following information is available: Estimated selling price is $1,020,000; Estimated cost of disposal is $40,000; Normal profit margin is $120,000; and Current replacement cost is $900,000. At 12/31/2020, assuming Yoshi uses the loss method, what amount of loss should Yoshi record from applying LCM

Answers

Answer:

Yoshi Co.

The amount of loss that Yoshi Co. should record from applying LCM (the lower of Cost or Market price) is:

$40,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

FIFO inventory on 12/31/2020 = $980,000

Current replacement cost = $900,000

Net realizable value = $980,000 ($1,020,000 - $40,000)

Normal profit margin = $120,000

Loss to be recognized based on current replacement cost = FIFO purchase cost minus Current replacement cost

= $80,000 ($980,000 - $900,000)

b) Under the US GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) of prudence and conservatism, the loss of $80,000 must be recognized in the current period, since the inventory will be booked at $900,000, its current replacement cost, which is lower than the FIFO purchase cost of $980,000.

4. Give two reasons why GDP is often not seen as the best measure of living standards.


Answers

Answer:

Different factors account to it.

Explanation:

Because many factors that contribute to people's happiness are not bought and sold, GDP is a limited tool for measuring standard of living. To understand it's limitations better, let's take a look at several factors that are not accounted for in GDP.

GDP does not account for leisure time. The US GDP per capita is larger than the GDP per capita of Germany, but does this prove that the standard of living in the United States is higher? Not necessarily since it is also true that the average US worker works several hundred hours more per year more than the average German worker. The calculation of GDP does not take German workers extra weeks of vacation into account.

GDP includes what is spent on environmental protection, healthcare, and education, but it does not include actual levels of environmental cleanliness, health, and learning. GDP includes the cost of buying pollution-control equipment, but it does not address whether the air and water are actually cleaner or dirtier. GDP includes spending on medical care, but it does not address whether life expectancy or infant mortality have risen or fallen. Similarly, GDP counts spending on education, but it does not address directly how much of the population can read, write, or do basic mathematics.

Mr. C made the following gifts: $12,000 to a university to pay tuition costs for his niece. An undeveloped tract of land to his sister that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $4,000 and a fair market value of $25,000. Various shares of stock to his wife that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $15,000 and a fair market value of $40,000. Mr. C did not consent to gift-splitting. What is the total amount of taxable gifts

Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a  per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).

The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000

The expected return on the market portfolio is 12%, and the relevant risk-free rate is 4.2%. What is the equity premium?

Answers

Answer:

7.8%

Explanation:

The expected return on the market portfolio is 12 percent

The risk free rate is 4.2 percent

Therefore the equity premium can be calculated as follow

= expected return - risk free rate

= 12% - 4.2%

= 7.8%

Hence the equity premium is 7.8%

Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:

As  We know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory

And, the

Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold

So,

$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold

Therefore, the cost of goods sold is

= $107,000 - $32,100

= $74,900

And, finally the ending inventory is

$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory

$74,900 = $91,400  - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory is

= $91,400 - $74,900

= $16,500

CDB stock is currently priced at $85. The company will pay a dividend of $5.69 next year and investors require a return of 11.6 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock?

Answers

Answer:

4.91%

Explanation:

CDB stock is currently priced at $85

The company will pay a dividend of $5.69

The required return is 11.6%

There for the dividend growth rate on this stock can be calculated as follows

11.6/100= (5.69/85) + growth rate

0.116= 0.0669 + growth rate

0.116 - 0.0669 = growth rate

0.0491 × 100 = growth rate

Growth rate = 4.91%

Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses are $30,000 and its contribution margin ratio is 63%. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $92,000?
a. $27,960.b. $62,000.c. $57,960.d. $4,040.

Answers

Answer:

Net income= $27,960

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $30,000

contribution margin ratio= 0.63

Sales= $92,000

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:

Total contribution margin= 92,000*0.63= 57,960

Now, the net income:

Net income= 57,960 - 30,000

Net income= $27,960

Explanation:

Since VISA payments are automatic, you can debit cash directly. There is no need to debit accounts receivable and then once the payment is confirmed, debit cash. Some credit cards do not pay automatically, and in those cases you should debit accounts receivable.

Instead of credit card fees, some people use credit card discount, or credit card expense, but all these accounts are basically the same. They are all expense accounts.

Answers

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $210,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 222,000/37,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6 per machine hour

Now, we cal allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 6*35,000

Allocated MOH= $210,000

How do you think Alden, from Situation 2, found out about Revinate? Given all the online companies that might help your business connect you with customers, how would you choose one?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the proper context of the question or further references, we can comment on the following.

Alden found out about Revinate by searching on the web trying to find the best software options that could help the company to identify the customer's reviews so Gregory E. Alden could make the best decisions for his company.

Gregory E. Alden is the manager of the company Woodside Hotels, located in Northern California. He was trying to monitor the comments of his high-class clients because Woodside Hotels is in the luxurious hotel business. So knowing that constantly monitoring client's comments on social media pages such as TripAdvisor or Yelp can be an arduous and difficult task, Gregory searched for the best software company to monitor client's comments on social media. That is how he found Revinate, a company that helps managers to track reviews so they can make the best business decisions once they have learned what their customers desire. And that is exactly what I would do to choose the kind of company to know about the preferences of my customers.

Answers

Answer:

decrease

increase

structural unemployment

Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies

Explanation:

If the world price of steel falls, the profits that can be earned from producing steel would fall. This would make steel-producing firms cutback on production. If they do this, they would lead less labour, so the demand for labour would fall.

The decrease in the price of steel would make purchasing steel by automobile companies cheaper. This would lead to a rise in production and as a result an increase in the demand for labour.

Structural unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of labour and the jobs available.  Measures taken to increase information on available jobs would reduce this type of unemployment

to beter take into account the differential impact of fixed and variable costs, marketing managers canuse ____ pricing

Answers

Answer:

target return pricing

Explanation:

Target return pricing is a pricing method that uses a very simple formula:

target price = [unit cost + (desired return x capital)] /unit sales

The price is based on the ROI that the company expects from a certain product (or project).

Even though this is a fairly simple method for pricing a good or service, it can also have serious negative consequences:

it doesn't take in account consumers' tastes or preferenceswhat happens if the expected ROI is too high, that could kill a project that could have been successful otherwisethe time frames are not always exact, e.g. you believed that a project would last 5 years, but due to a technological breakthrough it only lasts 4

In order to successfully apply this type of pricing strategy, a company must be able to achieve or exceed their sales goals.

For most consumers, maximizing utility through consumption generally means finding good deals in order to maximize the utility received for each dollar spent.

As a result, lowering prices may lead to reduced sales for the makers of luxury goods. How is this counterintuitive concept rationalized by analysis of consumer behavior and the utility maximization rule

Answers

Answer:

The explanation of that situation is below.

Explanation:

To begin with, the most important factor to have in mind in the situation explained above is the fact that we are talking about a "luxury good" and therefore that when it comes to this type of goods is better when the majority of the people do not possess or at least they must represent the fact that they are exclusive for only some part of the population. That is why that those goods use the strategy of increase always the price because that will means that they are not affordable for the majority of the society but only for a few and that will give to the owner of the good a sense of uniqueness and with that it also comes the sense of superiority. That is why that when it comes to this type of good the analysis change and it collides with the other theory of utility maximation.

If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Multiple Choice Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. One asset increases $4,500 and another asset decreases $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Equity increases $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.

Answers

Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.

Explanation:

An asset are the properties which a business or an organization owns. An asset possess an economic value.

Since the equipment purchased is an asset, this will lead to an increase of assets by $4500 and since it was bought on credit and hasn't been paid for, liabilities will also increase by $4500.

Farris Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 78 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 8,800 Units sold 8,700 Units in ending inventory 100 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 18 Direct labor $ 10 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $255,200 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 87,000 What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing

Answers

Answer:

$61

Explanation:

The computation of unit product cost for the month under absorption costing is shown below:-

Unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable Manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing cost

= $18 + $10 + $4 + ($255,200 ÷ 8,800)

= $61

Therefore for computing the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing we simply applied the above formula.

[Same investments as the prior question] Suppose two local start-ups are raising funding by issuing shares of equity at $10,000 per share. One start-up is a whiskey distillery; the other is a beer brewery. You estimate the expected returns on your investment to be 50% over five years in both cases. You also believe that the likelihood of being paid out $20,000 per share is greater with the distillery than with the brewery. Suppose now that you hold a portfolio of many other risky assets, and that this would be your N 1 investment. Which investment do you prefer to make, the distillery or the brewery

Answers

Answer:

you should purchase the brewery's stock

Explanation:

First of all, as investors we should always try to maximize our returns while avoiding risks. It is really hard to balance both, but we must compare stocks to see which may represent a higher gain while posing the lesser or same risk.

Initial investment in each = $10,000 (equal for both)expected returns over 5 years = $5,000 (equal for both)but there is a higher possibility of the distillery's stock being more valuable, and that makes a difference.

Both stocks seem equally risky, but they are not. When you calculate expected returns, you multiply the possible returns by their probability. I'm not sure how they calculated the expected returns of the above stocks, but the following can help you understand my point:

stock B                        return         probability        expected return

great                             100%             25%                    25%

normal                            50%             50%                    25%

bad                                  0%              25%                     0%

total                                                   100%                    50%

stock D                        return         probability        expected return

great                             100%             30%                    30%

normal                            50%             40%                    20%

bad                                  0%              30%                     0%

total                                                   100%                    50%

Both stocks have the same expected return, but stock B is less risky because the chance of being a bad investment is lower.
