Answer:
A. Return on equity 7.5%
B. Dividend yield 3.03%
C. Earnings per share $0.22
D. Price-earnings ratio 45
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the Return on equity
First step is to calculate the Average stockholders equity using this formula
Average stockholders equity = ( Beginning stockholders equity + Ending stockholders equity)/2
Let plug in the formula
Average stockholders equity= (2,240+2000)/2
Average stockholders equity= $2,120 millions
Now let calculate the Return on equity using this formula
Return on equity=Net Income / Average stockholders equity
Let plug in the formula
Return on equity=159 / 2,120
Return on equity= 7.5%
B. Calculation to determine the Dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend yield=Dividend per share / Stock price
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield=0.30/ 9.90
Dividend yield= 3.03%
C. Calculation to determine the Earnings per share
Using this formula
Earnings per share=Net Income / Average shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per share=159/ 720
Earnings per share= $0.22
D. Calculation to determine Price-earnings ratio
Using this is formula
Price-earnings ratio=Stock price / Earnings per share
Let plug in the formula
Price-earnings ratio=9.90 / 0.22
Price-earnings ratio= 45

Answer:
A. After-cost of debt 4.20%
B. Cost of common equity 12.15%
C. Cost of capital 7.02%
Explanation:.
A. Calculation to determine the After-cost of debt
After-cost of debt =RATE(15,5.8%*1000,-980,1000)*(1-30%)
After-cost of debt =4.20%
Therefore After-cost of debt is 4.20%
b) Calculation to determine cost of common equity
Cost of common equity=2.17/29.12+4.7%
Cost of common equity=12.15%
Therefore Cost of common equity is 12.15%
c) Calculation to determine cost of capital
Cost of capital=(4.20%*63%)+(12.15%*36%)
Cost of capital=7.02%
Therefore Cost of capital is 7.02%

Answer:
Highlands Company
The interest capitalized is:
= $294,140.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Borrowings on January 1 = $2,050,000 at 11%
Debt outstanding throughout 2021:
16% bonds = $6,000,000
11% long-term note = $4,000,000
Construction expenditures:
January 1 $ 840,000
March 31 1,440,000
June 30 1,088,000
September 30 840,000
December 31 640,000

Haste Enterprises issues 20-year, $1,000,000 bonds that pay semiannual interest of $50,000. If the effective annual rate of interest is 11%, what is the issue price of the bonds? Some relevant and irrelevant present value factors: * PV of ordinary annuity of $1: n = 20; i = 11% is 7.96333 **PV of $1: n = 20; i = 11% is 0.12403 * PV of ordinary annuity of $1: n = 40; i = 5.5% is 16.04612 **PV of $1: n = 40; i = 5.5% is 0.11746 Multiple Choice $1,000,000. $919,766. $1,802,306. $992,948.
Answer: $919,766
Explanation:
The Present Value of issuance price of a bond is:
= Present value of interest payments + Present Value of par value at maturity
Present value of interest payments:
The payments are constant so this is an annuity.
Payments are semi annual so the variables should be adjusted for this.
Interest = 11%/2 = 5.5%
Number of periods = 20 * 2 = 40 semi annual periods.
Present value = Annuity * Present value of annuity factor, 5.5%, 40 periods
= 50,000 * 16.04612
= $802,306
Present value of par at maturity:
= Par value * discount factor, 5.5%, 40 years
= 1,000,000 * 0.11746
= $117,460
Issue price of bond:
= 802,306 + 117,460
= $919,766
On November 15, 2018, X Corp., an accrual basis taxpayer, enters into a contract which will provide the corporation with the use of manufacturing equipment for the 5 year period beginning on December 1, 2018. X Corp. paid $100,000 for the 5-year period on December 1, 2018. How much, if any of the payment can X Corp. deduct in 2018
Answer: $20000
Explanation:
Since $100,000 is paid for the contract which will provide the use of manufacturing equipment for 5 years, the payment that can be deducted for each of the 5 years will be an equal payment.
Therefore, the payment that X Corp. can deduct in 2018 will be:
= $100,000 / 5
= $20000

James, Inc., has purchased a brand new machine to produce its High Flight line of shoes. The machine has an economic life of 6 years. The depreciation schedule for the machine is straight-line with no salvage value. The machine costs $594,000. The sales price per pair of shoes is $87, while the variable cost is $37. Fixed costs of $295,000 per year are attributed to the machine. The corporate tax rate is 22 percent and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent.
What is the financial break-even point?
Answer:
James, Inc.
The financial break-even point in:
Sales unit = 8,322
Sales dollars = $724,014
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of machine purchased = $594,000
Estimated economic life = 6 years
Salvage value = $0
Sales price per pair of shoes = $87
Variable cost per pair of shoes = 37
Contribution margin per pair = $50
Discounted contribution = $50 * 0.909 = $45.45
After-tax contribution = $35.45 ($45.45 * 0.78)
After-tax contribution margin ratio = $35.45/$87 * 100 = 41%
Fixed cost per year = $295,000
Corporate tax rate = 22%
Discount rate = 10%
Break-even point = Fixed cost/After-tax contribution
= $295,000/$35.45
= 8,322 units
= $724,014 ($87 * 8,322)

Answer:
hello your question has some missing information attached below is the missing information
answer :
a) $7
b) $4265
c) attached below
d) $4192
Explanation:
a) determine the predetermined overhead rate
= Total estimated overhead / estimated direct labor hour
Total estimated overhead = $315,000
estimated direct labor hour = 45,000
hence predetermined overhead rate = 315,000 / 45,000 = $7
b) calculate the cost of the Pierce stained glass window
Direct material cost = $890
number of labor hours = 125
direct labor cost = $20 per hour
predetermined overhead rate = $7
∴cost of glass window = [ ( 890 + ( 125 * 20 ) + ( 125 * 7 ) ] = $4265
c) Journal entry used to record sell of scrap
Account name
cash $93
manufacture overhead $93
d) assuming only some jobs generate scrap
first we will calculate the overhead rate per hour
= ( $297000 + $25200) / 45,000 = $7.16
∴ Total cost of pierce stained glass window
= [ (direct material cost + number of labor hours ) + number of labor hours ( predetermined overhead rate ) ] - $93
= $4285 - $93 = $4192

You own 300 shares of Somner Resources' preferred stock, which currently sells for $39 per share and pays annual dividends of $5.50 per share. If the market's required yield on similar shares 12% is percent, should you sell your shares or buy more?
Solution as mentioned below:
First of all we need to calculate value of the preferred stock by dividing the annual dividend per share from the market required rate.
Value of preferred stock = 5.50 / 12%
Value of preferred stock = $45.83
Now given the fact that the current price at which the stocks are sold is $39 which is less than the price at which they are actually valued which is $45.83. You should buy more of the shares as they are currently undervalued.

a perfectly competitive firm
Both the perfectly competitive firm and monopolistically competitive firm
a monopolistically competitive firm
Neither firms
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Firms are productive and allocative efficient and do not operate with excess capacity
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services. As a result, price is always higher than marginal cost
Profit is maximised when marginal revenue equal marginal cost
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants

Explanation:
160,000−3,000−96,000=61000
expenses are not taken into account because their not required to find the gross profit.
Financial information is presented below: Operating expenses $ 45000 Sales returns and allowances 3000 Sales discounts 7000 Sales revenue 160000 Cost of goods sold 96000 Gross Profit would be "$64000". The correct option is A.
To calculate the Gross Profit, we use the formula:
Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold
Given the financial information,
Sales Revenue = $160,000
Cost of Goods Sold = $96,000
Gross Profit = $160,000 - $96,000
Gross Profit = $64,000

Compute the following:
(a) Income from operations -
(b) Net income -
(c) Comprehensive income
(d) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2020 -
Answer:
a. $131,880
b. $167,310
c. $156,050
d. $151,390
Explanation:
(a) Income from operations
Income from Operations is Income resulting from Primary Trading Activities of the Company.
Income from Operations = Gross Profit + Operating Income - Operating Expenses
where,
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
= $334,910 - $149,030
= $185,880
thus,
Income from Operations = $185,880 - $54,000 = $131,880
(b) Net income
Income resulting from Primary and Secondary Trading Activities of the the Company.
Net income = Income from Operations + Non Operating Income - Non Operating Expenses
= $131,880 + $32,710 + $9,080 - $6,360
= $167,310
(c) Comprehensive income
Income from both Continuing and Non - Continuing Activities.
Comprehensive income = Net income + Non - Continuing Activities
= $167,310 - $11,260
= $156,050
(d) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2020
The Income remaining after distributions to shareholders have been made.
Retained earnings = Comprehensive income - Dividends
= $156,050 - $4,660
= $151,390

The company budgeted for production of 2,400 units in June, but actual production was 2,500 units. The company used 19,850 pounds of direct material and 980 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 21,700 pounds of the direct material at $6.70 per pound. The actual direct labor rate was $19.20 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.80 per hour.
The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is: _________
a. $36 U
b. $36 F
c. $40 U
d. $40 F
Answer:
d. $40 F
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is
First step is to calculate the SH
SH = 2,500 units × 0.4 hour per unit
SH= 1,000 hours
Now let calculate the Variable overhead efficiency variance
Using this formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (980 hours - 1,000 hours) × $2 per hour= (-20 hours) × $2 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $40 F
Therefore Variable overhead efficiency variance is $40 F
