Based on your understanding of P/E ratios, in which of the following situations would the average trailing P/E ratio (current price divided by earnings per share over the previous 12 months) of the S&P 500 Index be higher? The outlook for the economy and the markets is for a downturn. The outlook for the economy and the markets is for an improvement.
Answer:
The outlook for the economy and the markets is for an improvement.
Explanation:
p/e ratio = price / earning
the higher the equity, the lower the ratio
If the p/e ratio is expected to be higher, it means that the equity would have to be lower this year than next year .
this implies that earnings would be higher next year and p/e ratio would be lower. this means there is a positive economic outlook
A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $341,900 and direct labor hours would be 48,900. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $307,800, and actual direct labor hours were 52,800. What is the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the predetermined overhead rate is computed below.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated factory overhead cost / Estimated direct labor hours
Given that;
Estimated factory overhead cost = $341,900
Estimated direct labor hours = 48,900
Therefore,
Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour
= $341,000 / 48,900
= $6.97 per direct labor hour
During 2018, Jacobsen wrote off $18,000 in receivables and recovered $6,000 that had been written off in prior years. Jacobsen's December 31, 2017, allowance for doutbful accounts was $40,000. What is the appropriate year-end adjusting entry Jacobson must use to record bad debts expense and update the allowance for doubtful accounts on December 31, 2018
Answer: Debit: Bad debt expense $21400
Credit: Allowance for doubtful debt $21400

Stallman Company took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $200,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $25,000 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB, shipping point, and $22,000 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,000, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end.
What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory?
In its first month of operations, Bethke Company made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 300 units at $6, (2) 400 units at $7, and (3) 200 units at $8. Assuming there are 360 units on hand, compute the cost of the ending inventory under the (a) FIFO method and (b) LIFO method. Bethke uses a periodic inventory system.
A) Cost of the ending inventory LIFO.
B) Cost of the ending inventory.
Answer:
1. $247,00
A. $2,720
B.$2,220
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory
Using this formula
December 31 Ending inventory = Inventory count as per physical count + Inventory in transit FOB Shipping point + Inventory in transit FOB destination
Let plug in the formula
December 31 Ending inventory= $200,000 + $25,000+ $22,000
December 31 Ending inventory= $247,000
Therefore What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory is $247,000
A) Calculation to determine the Cost of the ending inventory FIFO.
Cost of ending inventory = (200 units * $8) +(360 units- 200 units * $7)
Cost of ending inventory = (200 units * $8) + (160 units * $7)
Cost of ending inventory= $1,600 + $1,120
Cost of ending inventory= $2,720
Therefore The Cost of ending inventory is $2,720
(b) Calculation to determine The cost of ending inventory under the LIFO method
Cost of ending inventory = (300 units * $6) +(360 units -300 units* $ 7)
Cost of ending inventory = (300 units * $6) + (60 units * $ 7)
Cost of ending inventory = $1,800 + $420
Cost of ending inventory = $2,220
Therefore The cost of ending inventory under the LIFO method will be $2,220
Bridgeport Company is constructing a building. Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $1,836,000 on March 1, $1,236,000 on June 1, and $3,038,370 on December 31. Bridgeport Company borrowed $1,112,250 on March 1 on a 5-year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 9%, 5-year, $2,342,100 note payable and an 10%, 4-year, $3,467,800 note payable. Compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes.
Answer:
9.6%
Explanation:
According to the problem, calculation are as follows,
Company borrowed on March 1 = $1,112,250
First we calculate total expenditures in constructing a building.
Total Expense = ($1,836,000 × 10÷12)+ ($1,236,000 × 7÷12)+ ($3,038,370 × 0÷12)
= $1,530,000 + $721,000 + 0
= $2,251,000
So, Difference in both amount = $2,251,000 - $1,112,250 = $1,138,750
We can calculate the weighted average interest rate by using following formula,
Weighted average interest rate = Interest ÷ outstanding principal
Where, Outstanding principal = $2,342,100 + $3,467,800 = $5,809,900
Interest = $2,342,100 × 9% + $3,467,800 × 10%
= $210,789 + $346,780 = $557,569
So, by putting the value in formula, we get,
Weighted average interest rate = $557,569 ÷ $5,809,900
= 0.096 or 9.6%
LaMont works for a company in downtown Chicago. The company encourages employees to use public transportation (to save the environment) by providing them with transit passes at a cost of $290 per month. rev: 09_23_2020_QC_CS-230013a. If LaMont receives one pass (worth $290) each month, how much of this benefit must he include in his gross income each year
Answer:
The IRS sets the limit on transportation benefits provided by an employer, for 2021, this limit is $270 per month, or $3,240 per year.
The total benefit received by LaMont should = 12 x $290 = $3,480
This means that he must include $3,480 - $3,240 = $240 as part of his annual gross income.
Oil Services Corp. reports the following EPS data in its 2017 annual report (in million except per share data). Net income $1,827 Earnings per share: Basic $1.56 Diluted $1.54 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 1,172 How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017
Answer:
15.2million dilutive shares
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017.
First step is to calculate the Basic EPS using this formula
Basic EPS= Net income -Basic
Let plug in the formula
Basic EPS= $1,827 /$1.56
Basic EPS=$1,171.2 million
Second step is to calculate the Diluted EPS
Diluted EPS =$1,827 million / $1.54
Diluted EPS = $1,186.4 million.
Now let calculate How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017
2017 Diluted weighted average=$1,186.4 million - $1,171.2 million.
2017 Diluted weighted average= 15.2million dilutive shares
Therefore How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017 is 15.2 million dilutive shares
A product sells for $210 per unit, and its variable costs per unit are $130. The fixed costs are $420,000. If the firm wants to earn $35,000 after tax income (assume a 30% tax rate), how many units must be sold
Answer:
5,688 units
Explanation:
Target sales = Target Profit + Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Contribution per unit = Sales - Variable Costs
= $210 - $130 = $80
therefore,
Target sales = ($35,000 + $420,000) ÷ $80 = 5,688 units

This year Randy paid $28,900 of interest on his residence. (Randy borrowed $462,000 to buy his residence, and it is currently worth $512,000.) Randy also paid $2,800 of interest on his car loan and $4,650 of margin interest to his stockbroker (investment interest expense). How much of this interest expense can Randy deduct as an itemized deduction under the following circumstances
Answer:
a. Interest Deductible = $31,100
b. Interest Deductible = $28,900
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
This year Randy paid $28,900 of interest on his residence. (Randy borrowed $462,000 to buy his residence, and it is currently worth $512,000.) Randy also paid $2,800 of interest on his car loan and $4,650 of margin interest to his stockbroker (investment interest expense). How much of this interest expense can Randy deduct as an itemized deduction under the following circumstances?
a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.
Interest Deductible $.......
b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.
Interest Deducttible $.......
The explanation of the anwer is now given as follows:
a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.
Randy may choose to deduct the interest of $28,900 on his residence as an itemized deduction.
The $2,800 of interest on his car loan is a nondeductible personal interest.
The $2,200 interest income received can be regarded as an investment income.
The $4,500 margin interest to his stockbroke is likely investment interest. But since Randy has only $2,200 interest income, his deduction is limited to the $2,200.
Therefore, we have:
Interest Deductible = Interest on his residence + $2,200 = $28,900 + $2,200 = $31,100
b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.
Since there is no investment income, Randy can only dedcut the interest of $28,900 on his residence based on the explanation in part a above.
Therefore, we have:
Interest Deductible = $28,900
Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated inventory
Answer:
$173,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total consolidated inventory is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Percentage profits that Alpha charge to other customers is
= ($800,000 - $600,000) ÷ $800,000
= 25% of sales
Stock held at year end is
= $100,000 × 40%
= $40,000
Profit involved in stock is
= $40,000 × 25%
= $10,000
Now the stock of beta is
= $88,000 - $10,000
= $78,000
And finally, the Total for consolidated inventory is
= $95,000 + $78,000
= $173,000
5 years ago, Barton Industries issued 25-year noncallable, semiannual bonds with a $1,000 face value and a 9% coupon, semiannual payment ($45 payment every 6 months). The bonds currently sell for $896.87. If the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%, what is the firm's after-tax cost of debt? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer: 7.67%
Explanation:
To solve this, the financial calculator will be needed
Present value = -896.87
Future Value = 1,000
N = [(25 - 5years) × 2 = 40
PMT = $45
Given the above information, we will press the financial calculator as we'll press CPT after which we then press I/Y and we'll get 5.11%
Then, the the firm's after-tax cost of debt will be:
= (5.11% x 2 )(1 - 0.25)
= (0.0511 × 2) (0.75)
= 0.07665
= 7.665%
= 7.67%

Core Corporation reported current earnings and profits of $250,000. Core distributed a building with an adjusted basis of $170,000 and a fair market value of $230,000 to its sole shareholder. The building had a mortgage of $90,000, which the shareholder will assume. What is the amount of the dividend received by the shareholder?
A. $80,000.
B. $140,000.
C. $230,000.
D. $250,000.
Answer:
B. $140,000
Explanation:
The total cost of acquiring an asset, including the installation, commission, transportation and other relevant fees is known as adjusted basis. The fair market value is the value an asset would yield when sold. It is an amount that would be received in return when an asset is sold.
Therefore, the shareholders would receive dividend at the fair market value adjusted for the mortgage balance
= $230,000 - $90,000
= $140,000
Amber Company had $153,200 of net income in 2016 when the selling price per unit was $153, the variable costs per unit were $93, and the fixed costs were $574,100. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2017. The president of Naylor Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $62,200 in 2017.
a) Compute the number of units sold in 2016.
b) Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2017 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
c) Assume that naylor company sells the same number of units in 2017 as it did in 2016. What would the selling price have to be in order to reacch the stockholders' desired profit level?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1) Number of unit sold in 2016 is
As we know that
Total contribution margin is
= Fixed cost + Net income
= $153,200 + $574,100
= $727,300
And, the Contribution margin per unit is
= $153 - $93
= 60 per unit
So, the Number of unit sold in 2016 is
= $727,300 ÷ 60
= 12,122 Units
2) Number of unit sold is
= ($574,100 + $153,200 + $62,200) ÷ 60
= 13,158 Units
3) The selling price is
Break even = (Fixed cost + Desired profit) ÷ Contribution margin
12,122 = ($574,100 + $153,200 + $622,00) ÷ (X - $93)
12,122X - $1,127,346 = $789,500
12,122X = $1,916,846
X(Selling price) = $1,916,846 ÷ 12122
= $158 per unit
A portfolio manager plans to use a Treasury bond futures contract to hedge a bond portfolio over the next three months. The portfolio is worth $100 million and will have a duration of 5.6 years in three months. The futures price is 112, and each futures contract is on $100,000 of bonds. The bond that is expected to be cheapest to deliver will have a duration of 9.0 years at the maturity of the futures contract. What position in futures contracts is required
Answer: 556
Explanation:
The position in futures contracts that is required will be calculated thus:
= (100,000,000 × 5.6) / (112,000 × 9)
= 560,000,000 / 1,008,000
= 555.5
= 556 approximately
Therefore, based on the calculation, the answer is 556.
Parking lot staff budget Adventure Park is a large theme park. Staffing for the theme park involves many different labor classifications, one of which is the parking lot staff. The parking lot staff collects parking fees, provides directions, and operates trams. The staff size is a function of the number of daily vehicles. Adventure Park has determined from historical experience that a staff member is needed for every 200 vehicles. Adventure Park estimates staff for both school days and nonschool days. Nonschool days are higher attendance days than school days. The number of expected vehicles for each day is as follows:
School Days Nonschool Days
Number of vehicles per day 3,000 8,000
Number of days per year 165 200
Parking fees are $10 per vehicle. Each parking lot employee is paid $110 per day.
Required:
a. Determine the annual parking lot staff budget for school days, nonschool days, and total.
b. Determine the parking revenue for school days, nonschool days, and total.
c. If depreciation expense and other expenses for running the parking lot were estimated to be $2 million per year, determine the parking lot's budgeted profit.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Determine the annual parking lot staff budget for school days, nonschool days, and total.
For school days:
Number of staff required per day = 3000/20 = 15
Number of staff days per year = 15 × 165 = 2475
Annual parking lot staff budget = 2475 × $110 = $272250
For non school days:
Number of staff required per day = 8000/20 = 40
Number of staff days per year = 40 × 200 = 8000
Annual parking lot staff budget = 800 × $110 = $880,000
Total annual parking lot staff budget = $272250 + $880000 = $1152250
b. Determine the parking revenue for school days, nonschool days, and total.
For school days:
Total number of vehicles per year = 3000 × 165 = 495000
Parking revenue = 495000 × $10 = $4950000
For non school days:
Total number of vehicles per year = 8000 × 200 = 1600000
Parking revenue = 1600000 × $10 = $16000000
Total parking revenue = $4950000 + $16000000 = $20950000
c. If depreciation expense and other expenses for running the parking lot were estimated to be $2 million per year, determine the parking lot's budgeted profit.
Parking revenue = $20,950,000
Less: Parking lot staff payroll = $1152250
Less: Depreciation and other expenses = $2000000
Budgeted profit = $177977500
Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc. projected sales of 51,100 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,460 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 7,130 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for the year
Answer:
51,770 units
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the budgeted production (in unit) for the year is computed as;
= Sales - Beginning inventory + Ending inventory
Given that ;
Sales = 51,100
Beginning inventory = 6,460
Ending inventory = 7,130
Budgeted production in units for the year = 51,100 - 6,460 + 7,130 = 51,770 units

Answer:
Total allocated costs= $53,070
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Quality control= 77,000 / 1,100 = $70 per inspection
Machine operation= 153,000 / 1,500 = $102 per machine hour
Materials handling= 1,200 / 30 = $40 per batch
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 57,000 / 5,700= $10 per labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Quality control= 70*295= 20,650
Machine operation= 102*240= 24,480
Materials handling= 40*6= 240
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 10*770= 7,700
Total allocated costs= $53,070
