Answer: B)150; 0; 100; 50
Explanation:
Based on the information that has been provided in the question, for France to produce a barrel of wine, it'll have an opportunity cost of:
= 100/150 = 0.67 bolts of clothes
For England to produce a barrel of wine, the opportunity cost will be:
= 150/50 = 3 bolts of clothes
Based on the explanation, France has a comparative advantage in wine making as its opportunity cost is lower than that of England.
For France to produce a bolt of cloth, the opportunity cost will be:
= 150/100 = 1.5 barrel of wine
For England to produce a bolt of cloth, the opportunity cost will be:
= 50/150 = 0.33 barrel of wine
Here, England has a comparative advantage in cloth production as its opportunity cost is lower than that of France.
Therefore, we can conclude that France produces 150 units of wine and
0 units of cloth and that France consumes 100 units of wine and 50 units of cloth.
Crador Corp. uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,100 units. 14,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 800 units. Equivalent units for conversion costs were 14,800. What percentage complete was the ending inventory with respect to conversion costs on January 31 using the weighted-average method
Answer: 62.5%
Explanation:
Equivalent units = Units completed and transferred out + percentage completed of ending inventory
14,800 = (1,100 + 14,000 - 800) + Percentage
14,800 = 14,300 + Percentage amount completed
Percentage amount completed = 14,800 - 14,300
Percentage amount completed = 500 units
Percentage = Ending equivalent units / ending inventory
= (500/800) * 100
= 62.5%

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $460,000,0000
Number of periods= 29 years
Interest rate= 4.2%
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1+i)^n
PV= 460,000,000 / (1.042^29)
PV= $139,506,351.8

The accounts receivable balance of $12,900 consists of $10,000 not yet due, $1,600 up to 30 days past due, and $1,300 greater than 30 days past due. What is the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Answer:
$1,164
Explanation:
Calculation for the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Bad Debt Expense= (10,000 * 0.07) + (1,600 * 0.15) + (1,300 * 0.48) =
Bad Debt Expense=700+240+624
Bad Debt Expense=1,564 -400
Bad Debt Expense=$1,164
Therefore the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense will be $1,164
Jefferson Corp. decided to change its inventory valuation method from first in, first out (FIFO) to last in, first out (LIFO) in a period of rising prices. What was the result of the change for the ending inventory and net income?
a. Increases
b. Decreases
Answer:
decreases
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
In a period of rising prices, changing from FIFO to LIFO means that the latest purchased goods would be of higher prices than the older goods. This would increase cost of goods sold and reduce net income.
Also, ending inventory would consist of older goods purchased at lower prices
Both net income and ending inventory would decrease
The following assets in Jack’s business were sold in 2020: Asset Holding Period Gain/(Loss) Office equipment 6 years $1,100 Automobile 8 months ($ 800) ABC stock (capital asset) 2 years $1,400 Office equipment, purchased for $8,000, had a zero adjusted basis. The automobile was purchased for $2,000 and sold for $1,200. The ABC stock was purchased for $1,800 and sold for $3,200. In 2020 (the year of sale), Jack should report what amount of net capital gain and net ordinary income?
Answer:
Net capital gain = $1,400
Net ordinary income = $300
Explanation:
Long term Capital gain = $1,400 from sale of stock since it was hold for 2 years (more than 1 year)
Ordinary gain = $1,100 - $800 = $300 since automobile was 6 months old and equipment had zero basis
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?
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%
What is the present value of the following cash-flow stream if the interest rate is 5%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Year Cash Flow
1 $250
2 450
3 350
Answer:
Total PV= $948.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Year Cash Flow
1 $250
2 450
3 350
Interest rate= 5%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV = Cf/(1+i)^n
PV1= 250/1.05= 238.1
PV2= 450/1.05^2= 408.16
PV3= 350/1.05^3= 302.34
Total PV= $948.6
Doreen has preferences represented by the utility function U(x, y) = 10x + 5y. She consumes 10 units of good x and 9 units of good y. If her consumption of good x is lowered to 1, how many units of y must she have in order to be exactly as well off as before?
Answer:
she must consume 11 units of good Y
Explanation:
Doreen's current utility = (10 x 10) + (5 x 9) = 145 utils
if she consumes only 9 goods of X, her utility will be:
90 + 5Y
the amount of good Y that makes both equations equal is:
90 + 5Y = 145
5Y = 55
Y = 55 / 5 = 11 units
Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume
Answer:
$1,600,000
Explanation:
Sales
$2,200,000
Contribution margin ratio
30%
$660,000
Sales $2,200,000
Contribution margin $660,000
Operating profit $180,000
Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit
= $660,000 - $180,000
= $480,000
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $480,000 / 30%
= $1,600,000
Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000
The Plastics Division of Weston Company manufactures plastic molds and then sells them for $70 per unit. Its variable cost is $30 per unit, and its fixed cost per unit is $10. Management would like the Plastics Division to transfer 10,000 of these molds to another division within the company at a price of $40. The Plastics Division is operating at full capacity. What is the minimum transfer price that the Plastics Division should accept?
Answer:
The right solution is "$30".
Explanation:
Unless the Plastic Division requires additional production, the Plastic Division would at minimum try to offset its operating expenses even though they have excess extra units which offer. The variable price seems to be $30 per item, so $30 seems to be the minimum determine the prevalence or transferable price.The firm has just declared a dividend of $1.09 per share for the current fiscal year. The firm has earnings per share of $2.11, and 225,000 shares outstanding with a market price of $31.17 per share prior to the ex-dividend day. Ignore taxes. As a result of this dividend, the: A) the current dividend yield is 51.66% B) retained earnings will increase by $245,250. C) the current dividend payout ratio is 3.497% D) earnings per share will increase to $3.20. E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Explanation:
Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.
This means that this stock will reduce to:
= 31.17 - 1.09
= $30.08
Price to Earnings ratio = Stock price/ Earnings per share
= 30.08/2.11
= $14.26

Subsidiaries are companies that belong to a larger parent company. They are usually established overseas as an extension of the parent company's operations.
Parent companies of the subsidiaries hold controlling interest in stock, therefore they tailor the subsidiaries to their exact needs.
When there is a 100% ownership by the parent company it is called a wholly owned subsidiary
On January 1, 2016, Brian's stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 2016, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, and immediately after this withdrawal the portfolio has a value of $105,000. Twelve months later, the value of the portfolio is $108,000, and Brian adds $3,000 worth of stock to his portfolio. On December 31, 2017, the portfolio is worth $100,000. What is the time-weighted rate of return for Brian's stock portfolio over the two year period
Answer:
1.93%
Explanation:
The time weighted rate of return will be computed by combining the return at every time period demarcated by a withdrawal/addition.
Time 1: Jan 1, 2016 to Sep 30, 2016
start value = 100,000; end value = (105,000+5,000) = 110,000
Return = [tex]\frac{110,000}{100,000}=1.1[/tex]
Time 2: Sep 30, 2016 to Sep 30, 2017
start value = 105,000; end value = 108,000
Return = [tex]\frac{108,000}{105,000}=1.028571[/tex]
Time 3: Sep 30, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017
start value = (108,000 + 3,000) = 111,000; end value = 100,000
Return = [tex]\frac{100,000}{111,000}=0.900901[/tex].
Therefore, time weighted return
= (1.1 * 1.028571 * 0.900901) - 1
= 0.019305
= 1.93%.

In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures to a market value basis. KJM Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt
Answer:
$5,412,000
Explanation:
The semi annual interest = $20
Periods (n) till maturity are 10*2 = 20
Discounting rate is 12%/2 = 6%
Principal amount is $1,000
Market Value = 20 * PVIFA (20,6%) + 1,000 * PVIF (20,6%)
Market Value = 20 * 11.4699 + 1,000 * 0.3118
Market Value = 229.398 + 311.8
Market Value = 541.198
Market value = $541.20
Number of bonds = 10,000,000/1,000
Number of bonds = 10,000
Current market value = Number of bonds * Market value
Current market value = 10,000 * 541.20
Current market value = $5,412,000

Your parents will retire in 27 years. They currently have $280,000 saved, and they think they will need $1,900,000 at retirement. What annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal, assuming they don't save any additional funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
Annual Rate=7.35%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal
Number of years =27
PV =280,000
FV =1,900,000
Using this formula
Annual Rate=(FV/PV)^(1/n)-1
Let plug in the formula
Annual Rate=(1,900,000/280,000)^(1/27)-1
Annual Rate=6.7857^(1/27)-1
Annual Rate=1.07349-1
Annual Rate=0.0735
Annual Rate=7.35%
Therefore the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal will be 7.35%
