Despite its drastic downsizing a decade ago under a federally funded bailout and bankruptcy​ restructuring, General Motors again finds itself with too many U.S. factories that can turn out too many​ vehicles. GM's factory-utilization rate in North America averaged​ 95.1% over the past two​ years, below​ Ford's 111.9% and Toyota​ 's 101.4%.​ (Rates can exceed​ 100% when factories work a 3rd shift or schedule overtime work on​ weekends.) The auto industry often runs its factories​ dawn-till-dusk or even around the clock to boost their efficiency. ​Factory-utilization rates typically measure how much production capacity a plant uses based on a​ 16-hour workday. GM says its utilization rate is​ 100% on average when its​ round-the-clock truck and SUV lines are figured in with the relatively sleepy factories making​ cars. GM said it is working to​ "drive further​ improvements" in its plant​ utilization, including adding crossover SUVs to more factory lines. A plant in the Kansas City area that now makes only the Malibu is scheduled to begin assembling a small Cadillac SUV soon. But such a​ switch-over typically takes car makers several years of lead​ time, to order and install new​ assembly-line equipment and tooling.

Answer:

The question is actually missing (see attached image):

the answer is:

D. Less than that of its competitors.

Explanation:

Personally, I believe that GM is an extremely spoiled child that refuses to assume responsibility for its continuous and never ending mistakes. GM has either filed for bankruptcy or threatened to do so twice in the last 30 years or so, and every time the US government has to bail them out. But GM keeps doing things wrong.

It doesn't matter if you like their cars or not, GM is terribly managed. No other company in US history has received so much financial aid from the government and continued to lose money and work inefficiently. The problem is that whenever things go wrong, stockholders lose their money but the executives keep getting tens of millions of dollars. If a company is managed in such a disastrous way, their top management shouldn't get paid that much.

A car factory costs a lot of money, and not using it efficiently is outrageous considering GM's history. If they had never received a cent from the government, then its only their problem. But the government lost $11.2 billion on GM's last bailout. During the 1980s GM lobbied fro the government to impose import quotas on Japanese cars because they were better cars and GM couldn't compete against them. So whenever they do things wrong, big brother has to help them. During the last couple of years GM had to sell most of its foreign operations in order to get cash, and you generally do not make money by selling your assets.

Answers

Answer:

The adjusted trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances after adjusting entries have been posted.The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance generally has more accounts listed than the unadjusted trial balance.

Explanation:

The Adjusted Trial balance lists the accounts that the company has at their ending balances which means that adjusting entries have been posted.

As a result of the Adjusted Trial Balance having final account balances, it is used to prepare the financial statements for the company as only final balances should be used in such.

More often than not, the Adjusted trial balance will have more accounts than the unadjusted balance because in process of adjustment, more accounts may be created for transactions that were not posted properly. For instance, there might be liability accounts for expenses if the expenses were not paid in the current period.

It is estimated that the net cash flows to be received from the copyright will be $63,000, and its fair value is $59,850. The accumulated amortization at the end of 2021 was $15,435. Compute the amount of impairment, if any, to be recorded on December 31, 2021. (If there is a loss on impairment, then enter amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Answers

Answer:

The amount of the impairment = $3,150.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net cash flows = $63,000

Fair value of copyright = $59,850

Accumulated amortization = $15,435

Impairment gain = $3,150 ($63,000 - $59,850)

b) There is an impairment gain of $3,150 since the net cash flows is higher than the fair value of the copyright.  Copyright is an intangible asset and impairment assessment must be conducted yearly.

Answers

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

Moore Company purchased an item for inventory that cost $20 per unit and was priced to sell at $34. It was determined that the cost to sell is $22 per unit. Using the lower of cost or net realizable value rule, what amount should be?

Cost per Unit = $20

Sale per unit = $34

Disposal cost = $22

Net realizable value per unit = Sale per unit - Disposal cost

Net realizable value per unit = $34 - $22

Net realizable value per unit = $12

Using the LCM method, $12 should be reported on the balance sheet for inventory.

Weight in equity = 0.31

Weight in debt = 0.69

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated market value of equity = $400,000

Debts = $275,000

Net equity after debt = $125,000

Weight in equity = $125,000/$400,000 = 0.31

Weight in debt = $275,000/$400,000 = 0.69

b) The weight in equity shows the relationship between the equity and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

c) The weight in debt shows the relationship between the debt capital and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

a. True

Explanation:

When a company prepares the master budget, it first prepares the sales budget, followed by the production budget.  The production budget calculates the costs of materials, labor, and overhead based on the number of units to be manufactured within the budget period.  The units of products are derived from the sales forecast and the planned amount of ending finished goods inventory.

The following U.S. Treasury bond is listed in the The Wall Street Journal: Rate Mo/Yr Bid Asked 9.50 Oct 38 135:30 136:04 This $1,000 par value bond has 18 years to maturity and makes semi-annual coupon interest payments. If you purchased this bond, what would be the bond's yield to maturity

Answers

Answer:

6.35%

Explanation:

If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40

the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months

the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods

yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]

YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%

If Mo pays in cash, the cost of the purchase will be $140. If Mo uses the credit card and pays off the balance at $20 a month for 7 months with no late fees, the cost of the purchase will be $139.89. If Mo uses the credit card and pays the full balance during the billing cycle, the cost of the purchase will be $135.80.

It should be noted that when she pays in cash, she'll have to pay $140.  In a situation whereby she uses the credit card, she'll be given a discount of 3%. Therefore, the amount that she'll have to pay will be:

= $140 - (3% × $140)

= $140 - (0.03 × $140)

= $140 - $4.20

= $135.80.

A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year

Answers

Answer:

$61.60

Explanation:

Equity funding need =  Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings

Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 -  $1,980 - $136.40

Equity funding need = $61.60

Workings

Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739

Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561

Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980

Projected increase in retained earnings  = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

Bond Ratings. Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why so you think they do so?

Answers

Answer:

Bond Ratings

Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds.  It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.

Explanation:

Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions.  While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.
