Inventory Turnover    4.6 ($3,427.8/$745.15)  3.9  ($2,724.0/$698.4)

b. Restatement of KW's cost of goods sold and inventory balances to FIFO:

                                     KW Steel Corp.           Waretown Steel

Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.

Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.

Answers

Answer:

I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.  

A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).  

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.

Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?

Answers

Answer:

Café Med

a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).

b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.

Explanation:

Lease annual payments = $29,000

First payment date = January 1, 2021

Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.

Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)

Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000

Lifespan of equipment = 13 years

Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113

b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease.  This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense.  The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $2,950

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A machine was purchased for $35,500, having a useful life of 10 years, and a residual value of $6,000.

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (35,500 - 6,000) / 10

Annual depreciation= $2,950

Hector was prosecuted following police seizure of 80 pounds of drugs from his airplane. The seizure was held to be unlawful, the evidence was sup- pressed, and the suit against Hector was dismissed. He sued the government officials involved in his arrest and prosecution to recover $3,500 in bail bond expenses, $23,000 in attorney's fees, and $2,000 in travel costs. The district court held he could not recover the costs incurred during the criminal prosecution. Hector appealed. Can he recover the costs? (Hector v. Watt, 235 F.3d 154, 3rd Cir. (2000)]

Answers

Answer:

Hector will lose.

Explanation:

If someone suffers an illegal search or seizure, he/she can recover any costs associated with that incident, e.g. property damage, injuries (both physical or to their reputation, lawyers, etc.). But if the illegal search actually results in some criminal evidence being discovered, then you cannot recover any costs.  Anything seized illegally will be dismissed, but the reward is not going to jail even if they committed a crime, they get no money back.

Why only ask for a refund of his lawyer's fees, he should also ask for a refund for the value of the drugs? This lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous.

A company has total equity of $2,160, net working capital of $240, long-term debt of $1,070, and current liabilities of $4,500. What is the company's net fixed assets?

Answers

Answer:

$2,990

Explanation:

A company's fixed asset consist of its plants and machineries, motor vehicles , buildings etc.

To get the company's net fixed asset, we would subtract the networking capital from total equity and add up long term debt.

Therefore,

Net fixed asset = $2,160 total equity - $240 working capital + $1,070 long term debt

= $2,990

Hence net fixed asset is $2,990

What are the limitations and risks of a marketing strategy that does not contemplate the responses of your competitors

Answers

Answer:

Throughout the clarification section following, the definition of the given query is explained.

Explanation:

Right, businesses face fierce competition through competitiveness throughout today's time, because it has become extremely necessary for organizations to develop a marketing campaign that makes companies contemplate consumer response.

After all, if any business marketing plan doesn't somehow anticipate competition reaction, then all these threats can occur:

Someone's brand sales should decline as consumers should choose the brand of their rivals. Your company's market position as well as business growth would decline as well as the brand's rivals will rise. Throughout the life cycle of the product, your company will hit the decline point. Your business's share price could decline.

Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument

Answers

Answer:

A)Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby

Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.

In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.

Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.

A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account

Answers

Answer:

$4068.77

Explanation:

We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8

FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8

FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0

FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000

FV= $29,946.46

We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46

PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r

PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10

29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008

PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008

PMT = 4068.768274257889

PMT = $4068.77

Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.

Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1, 2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.

Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.

Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders

= ($6,544 × 1.03 × ($2,618 ÷ $6,544) + 1%)  

= ($6,740  × (0.40 + 1%)

= $6,740 × 0.41

= $2,763 million

Hence, the projected cost of goods sold is $2,763 million

The same is to be considered

Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answers

Answer:

Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs  

455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs

Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%

Printing  = 455 / 3,500 = 13%

Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%

Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs  

315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.    

Maintenance = 315 / 2,100 = 15%

Printing  = 294 / 2,100 = 14%

Developing = 1,491 / 2,100 = 71%

What was the intrinsic value of SmileWhite Co. stock when the analyst was evaluating the stock (that is in year 2008)

Answers

Answer: $28.96

Explanation:

Using the Dividend discount model, the intrinsic value will be a sum of the present values of the dividends in addition to the present value when the dividends become constant.

First use CAPM to calculate the required return

= Risk free rate + Beta * (market return - risk free rate)

= 4.5% + 1.15 * (14.5% - 4.5%)

= 16%

The required return will be used to discount the dividends.

2009 dividends = 1.72 * 1.12 = $1.93

2010 = 1.93 * 1.12 = $2.16

2011 = 2.16 * 1.12 = $2.42

Dividends grow at 9% from 2011

Stock terminal value in 2011 = (2.42 * 1.09) / (16% - 9%) = $37.68

[tex]= \frac{1.93}{1.16} + \frac{2.16}{1.16^{2} } + \frac{2.42}{1.16^{3} } +\frac{37.68}{1.16^{3}}\\\\= 28.959397679[/tex]

= $28.96

what has the U.S customs created to force importing companies like wal-mart to provide more detailed information about

Answers

Answer: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT)

Explanation:

The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is a partnership program between the public and private sector created by the US Customs to improve border and cargo security.

When a firm like Wal-Mart becomes a member of the CTPAT, the likelihood of their goods being examined at a port of entry falls but this is because of the oversight requirements imposed on the firms such as ensuring the members provide detailed information about their suppliers and transportation companies.

Snoblo, a manufacturer of snowblowers, sells four models. The base model, Reguplo, has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 10,000 and a stand deviation of 1,000. The three other models have additional features, and each has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 700. Currently all four models are manufactured on the same line at a cost of $100 for Reguplo and $110 for each of the other three models. Reguplo sells for $200, whereas each of the other three models sells for $220. Any unsold blowers are sold at the end of the season for $80. Snoblo is considering the use of tailored sourcing by setting up two separate lines, one for Reguplo and one for the other three. Given that no changeovers will be required on the Reguplo line, the production cost of Reguplo is expected to decline to $90. The production cost of the other three products, however, will now increase to $120.

Required:
a. How will tailored sourcing affect the production and profits?
b. Is tailored sourcing more profitable for Snoblo? Why?

Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.

Answers

Answer:

$1,161.23

since the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds will be priced at a premium

Explanation:

In order to calculate the current market price of the bonds we can use the yield to maturity formula:

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

YTM = 11%n = 15 yearscoupon = $130face value = $1,000

0.11 = {130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]} / [1,000 + market value)/2]

0.11 x [1,000 + market value)/2] = 130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]

0.11 x (500 + 0.5M) = 130 + 66.67 - 0.067M

55 + 0.055M = 196.67 - 0.067M

0.122M = 141.67

M = 141.67 / 0.122 = $1,161.23

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?

Answers

Answer:

a. Taxable income = $80,000

b. Taxable income = $77,600

c. Taxable income = $80,600

Explanation:

Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.

The requirements are therefore answered as follows:

a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?

Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.

The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.

In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:

Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000

b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?

Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.

This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.

c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?

Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.

The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.

For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.

Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.

This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.
