In 2013, Chirac Enterprises issued, at par, 75 $1,060, 8% bonds, each convertible into 200 shares of common stock. Chirac had revenues of $19,100 and expenses other than interest and taxes of $8,860 for 2014. (Assume that the tax rate is 40%.) Throughout 2014, 2,530 shares of common stock were outstanding; none of the bonds was converted or redeemed.(a) Compute diluted earnings per share for 2014. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)(b) Assume the same facts as those assumed for part (a), except that the 75 bonds were issued on September 1, 2014 (rather than in 2013), and none have been converted or redeemed. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)(c) Assume the same facts as assumed for part (a), except that 25 of the 75 bonds were actually converted on July 1, 2014. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)
Answer:
Chirac Enterprises
a) Diluted EPS = $0. 35
b) Diluted EPS = $0. 35
c) Diluted EPS = $0. 35
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Issued at par 75 $1,060, 8% bonds = $70,000 Bonds Premium $9,500
Each of the 75 bonds are convertible into 200 shares = 15,000 (75 * 200) shares
2014 Revenue $19,100
2014 expenses 8,860
Pre-tax income $10,240
Tax (40%) 4,096
Net income $6,144
Ordinary EPS = $2.43 per share ($6,144/2,530)
Common shares = 2,530
Convertible bonds shares = 15,000
Total shares = 17,530
Diluted EPS = $0. 35 ($6,144/17,530) per share
b) The basic assumption for computing diluted earnings per share is that Chirac's earnings are expressed per share (EPS) as if all convertible securities were exercised. This implies that whether the bonds had been converted or not, the number of the shares used for calculating diluted earnings per share will remain the same in these scenarios.
Assume that a parent company owns a 100% controlling interest in its long-held subsidiary. On December 31, 2013, a parent company sold equipment to the subsidiary for $118,000. The equipment originally cost the parent $180,000, and accumulated depreciation through December 31, 2013 was $36,000. The parent depreciated the equipment for 10 years using the straight-line method and no salvage value. After the transfer, the subsidiary will depreciate the equipment for 8 years with no salvage value. Related to the transferred equipment, which of the following items is true regarding the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013?A. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 debit to "Equipment (gross)"B. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 credit to "Loss on Sale of Equipment"C. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 debit to "Gain on Sale of Equipment"D. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 credit to "Accumulated depreciation"
Answer:
Related to the transferred equipment, the items that is true regarding the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013 is:
C. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 debit to "Gain on Sale of Equipment."
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Original cost of the equipment to the parent = $180,000
Transfer of equipment to subsidiary = (118,000)
Accumulated depreciation to December 31, (36,000)
Unaccounted balance = 26,000
b) The unaccounted balance of $26,000 needs to be credited to the parent's Equipment account to remove it from the account. This will have a corresponding debit entry in another account. The only correct entry among the options is C.
Approach Company, which applies overhead to production on the basis of machine hours, reported the following data for the period just ended: Actual units produced: 14,800 Actual fixed overhead incurred: $791,000 Standard fixed overhead rate: $13 per hour Budgeted fixed overhead: $780,000 Planned level of machine-hour activity: 60,000 If Approach estimates four hours to manufacture a completed unit, the company's fixed-overhead volume variance would be:
Answer: 10400 unfavorable
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the fixed overhead volume variance is the difference between the standard fixed overhead for actual output and the budgeted fixed overhead.
Budgeted fixed overhead = 780000
The standard fixed overhead for the actual output will be:
= Actual output × Number of hour per unit × the standard fixed overhead rate
= 14800 × 4 × 13
= 769,600
Then, the fixed overhead volume variance will be:
= 769600 - 780000
= 10400 Unfavorable
Lo-crete produces quick setting concrete mix. Production of 200,000 tons was started in April, 190,000 tons were completed. Material costs were $3,152,000 for the month while conversion costs were $591,000. There was no beginning work-in-process; the ending work-in-process was 70% complete. What is the cost of the product that was completed and transferred to finished goods
Answer:
$3,564,400
Explanation:
Equivalent units of Production
Materials = 190,000 + 10,000 = 200,000
Conversion cost = 190,000 + 10,000 x 70% = 197,000
Cost per equivalent units
Materials = $3,152,000 / 200,000 =$15.76
Conversion Cost = $591,000 / 197,000 =$3.00
Total cost per unit = $18.76
Therefore,
the cost of the product that was completed and transferred to finished goods is $3,564,400 ( 190,000 x $18.76)

The ideal measure of short-term receivables is the discounted value of the cash to be received in the future. Failure to follow this practice usually does not make the statement misleading because Question 12 options: Most short-term receivables are not interest-bearing The amount of the discount is not material The allowance includes a discount element Most receivables can be sold to a bank or factor
Answer: The amount of the discount is not material.
Explanation:
Short-term receivables as the term implies, are short term which means that they are to be received within the period/ year. When discounted therefore, the value will more or less be the same because the discounting period will be so small.
Whatever the difference between the discounted value and the original value is, it will most probably not be material enough for ignoring the practice mentioned to be an issue.
In 2020, Bertha Jarow had a $28,000 loss from the sale of a personal residence. She also purchased from an individual inventor for $7,000 (and resold in two months for $18,000) a patent on a rubber bonding process. The patent had not yet been reduced to practice. Bertha purchased the patent as an investment. In addition, she had the following capital gains and losses from stock transactions:
Long-term capital loss ($6,000)
Long-term capital loss carryover from 2019 (12,000)
Short-term capital gain 21,000
Short-term capital loss (7,000)
A. Bertha has a net long-term capital loss of $___. Bertha has a net short-term capital gain of $ 14000. As a result, Bertha has an overall net short-term capital gain of $___.
B. Complete the letter to Bertha explaining the tax treatment of the sale of her personal residence. Assume Bertha's income from other sources puts her in the 28% bracket.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The net long term capital loss would be $7,000
And, the net short term capital gain would be $14,000 ($21,000 - $7,000)
So as a result the overall net short term capital gain is $7,000
b. Since there is a loss arise from the personal residence of $28,000 so the blank would be filled by the amount i.e. $28,000 and the rest of the things would be alright.

Answer:
$2.13
Explanation:
Computation what the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be
Using this formula
Basic earnings per share = Net income - preferred dividends / Weighted average no of shares outstanding

Basic earnings per share = $143,100 - 41,850 / 36,000+12,000 - 358
Basic earnings per share = 101,250 / 47,642
Basic earnings per share =$2.13
Therefore the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be $2.13
Which of the following will not create minimum contacts in a state sufficient to find personal jurisdiction on an out-of-state defendant? Group of answer choices A company maintains no physical office within a state and does not send sales personnel in to conduct business, but it target advertises in the forum state, providing special products and discounts for the forum state's residents. A company maintains an office in the forum state that is manned once a week by employees. A company sends sales personnel into the forum state to conduct business but does not maintain an office within the forum state. A company maintains a website that provides information about its products and that provides an address or number that a customer can contact to obtain an order form to purchase products directly from the company.
Answer: A company maintains a website that provides information about its products and that provides an address or number that a customer can contact to obtain an order form to purchase products directly from the company.
Explanation:
With different states having varying laws but yet still sharing a lot of business interests, it is important that the states know when they can have jurisdiction over a person.
Minimum contacts is the solution and is used to determine whether an entity has sufficient contacts in a state to warrant jurisdiction over them.
Simply having a website that can be accessed by people in a state does not fall under the provisions required for minimum contact to be met so the courts in this state cannot have personal jurisdiction over this company.
Ace Company purchased 10,000 bonds issued by Jack Company in 2018 for $53 per bond and classified the investment as securities available-for-sale. The value of the Jack investment was $83 per bond on December 31, 2019, and $100 per bond on December 31, 2020. During 2021, Ace sold all of its Jack investment at $148 per bond.

Falcon Co. produces a single product. Its normal selling price is $26 per unit. The variable costs are $16 per unit. Fixed costs are $18,900 for a normal production run of 5,000 units per month. Falcon received a request for a special order that would not interfere with normal sales. The order was for 1,470 units with a special price of $21 per unit. Falcon has the capacity to handle the special order, and for this order, a variable selling cost of $2 per unit would be eliminated. If the order is accepted, what would be the impact on net income
Answer:
Effect on income= $10,290 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Falcon can handle the special order, and for this order, a variable selling cost of $2 per unit would be eliminated.
Because it is a special order that would not affect current sales, we won't take into consideration the fixed costs.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= Number of units sold*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 1,470*(21 - 14)
Effect on income= $10,290 increase

. A building owner charges net rent of $20 in the first year, $21 in the second year, and $22 in the third year, but is providing six months of free rent in the first year as a concession. Using a 10 percent discount rate, what is the effective rent over the three years
Answer: $17.28
Explanation:
6 month free concession in first year drops rent to:
= 20 / 2
= $10
Effective rent = [Present value of Year 1 rent + Present value of Year 2 rent + Present value of Year 3 rent ] / [ 1 - (1 / (1 + rate)^ number of years) / rate]
= [(10 / (1 + 10%) ) + (21 / (1 + 10%)²) + (22 / (1 + 10%)³)] * [1 - (1 / (1 + 10%)³/ 10%)]
= (9.09 + 17.355 + 16.5289) / 2.48685
= $17.28
The owner of a bookstore in a college town notices that demand for certain textbooks peak during certain times of the year.She assumes that these peaks coincide with the beginning of semesters when professors recommend these books to the students.She decides to estimate future sales of these textbooks by measuring the interconnection between sales and announcement of courses that recommend them.Which of the following methods of sales forecasting is she using?
A) Jury of executive opinion method
B) Dependence method
C) Time-series analysis
D) Correlation analysis
Answer: D. Correlation analysis
Explanation:
Since she estimated the future sales of these textbooks by measuring the interconnection between sales and announcement of courses that recommend them, she's using correlation analysis of sales forecast.
Correlation analysis is used to show the relationship that exist between two quantitative variables. We should note that in this case, the dependent variable is sales while the independent variables will be the factors that bring about the fluctuation in sales.
A high correlation simply implies that there's a strong relationship between the variables while a weak correlation implies that the variables are not related.

Answer:
Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars is $75,000.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Ruben's 2001 salary = $60,000
Consumer price index in 2001 = 177
Consumer price index in 2006 = 221.25
Therefore, wee have:
Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars = Ruben's 2001 salary * (Consumer price index in 2006 / Consumer price index in 2001) ............... (1)
Substituting the relevant valued into equation (1), we have:
Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars = $60,000 * (221.25 / 177) = $75,000
Therefore, Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars is $75,000. This indicates that Reuben's purchasing power increased between 2001 and 2006.
Your uncle just won the weekly lottery, receiving $375,000, which he invested at a 7.5% annual rate. He now has decided to retire, and he wants to withdraw $35,000 at the end of each year, starting at the end of this year. What is the maximum number of whole payments that can be withdrawn before the account is exhausted, i.e., before the account balance would become negative? (Hint: Round down to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
22
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum number of whole payments that can be withdrawn
Based on the information given we would be using financial calculator to determine the maximum number of whole payments that can be withdrawn which represent N
PV -$375,000
PMT $35,000
I 7.50% Annual rate
FV $0
N ?
Hence;
N=22
Therefore the maximum number of whole payment that can be withdrawn will be 22
Assume you are using the dividend growth model to value stocks. If you expect the inflation rate to increase, you should also expect: A. market value of all stocks to decrease, all else equal. B. market value of all stocks to remain constant as the dividend growth will offset the increase in inflation. C. stocks that do not pay dividends to decrease in price while dividend paying stocks maintain a constant price.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = interest rate
g = growth rate
Interest rate used is usually nominal, thus, it increases with inflation rate
We can see that the interest rate is an inverse function of the value, thus when inflation increases, interest rate increases and price declines
Example
d1 = 5
r = 10%
g = 5%
5/ (0.1 - 0,05) = 100
when interest rate increases to 20% as a result of inflation, value becomes
5 / 0.2 - 0.05 = 33.33
value decreased with increase in inflation
Uptown Bank provides lockbox services. They estimate that you can reduce your average mail time by 2.2 days and your combined clearing and processing time by .75 days by implementing their system. Your firm receives 65 checks a day with an average value of $298 each. The current T-Bill rate is .01 percent per day. Assume a 365-day year. The bank will charge your firm $.15 per check. What is the annual net savings from installing this system?
Answer: $1473.067
Explanation:
First, we calculate the total time that's saved by the firm when it installs the lockbox services. This will be:
= 2.2 days + 0.75 days
= 2.95 days
Then, the gross amount that the firm will save will be:
= 65 × 2.95 × 298 × 0.01%
= $5.7142 per day
Since the bank charges the firm $0.15 per check and the firm receives 65 checks per day, the total cost to the firm will then be:
= 65 × $0.15
= $9.75 per day
The net loss will then be calculated as:
= $9.75 - $5.7142
= $4.0358 per day
Then, to get that for annual, we multiply the above value by 365. This will be:
= $4.0358 × 365
= $1473.067 per annum.

2. Total payroll tax expense $10,526
Explanation:
1.Computation for the total salary expense, the total withholdings from employee salaries, and the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January.
Computation for the total salary expense
Total salary expense= 100 employees x 40 Hours x $ 19 per Hour
Total salary expense=$76,000
Computation for the total withholdings from employee salaries
Federal income tax $11,400
($ 76,000 x 15% )
State income tax $3,800
($ 76,000 x 5% )
FICA taxes
($ 76,000 x 7.65% ) $5,814
Total withholdings $21,014
($11,400+$3,800+$5,814)
Computation for the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January
Actual direct deposit= $ 76,000 -$21,014 ) Actual direct deposit=$54,986
Therefore Total salary expense will be $76,000,
Total withholdings will be $21,014 and Actual direct deposit will be $54,986
