Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1)
Total current assets of $100,800
2)
Short term investments = Total current assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts receivable - Inventory
= $100,800 - $5,600 - $26,000 - $66,000
= $3,200
3)
Retained earnings = Property plant and equipment + Total current assets - Total liabilities - Paid in capital
where,
Total liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries payable + Accrued interest + Notes payable
= $45,000 + $17,000 + $1,000 + $36,000
= $99,000
SO,
Retained earnings = $150,000 + $100,800 - $99,000 - $130,000
= $21,800

Dow issued a 4% common stock dividend on May 15 and paid cash dividends of $410,000 and $70,000 to common and preferred shareholders, respectively, on December 15, 2021. On February 28, 2021, Dow sold 63,000 common shares. In keeping with its long-term share repurchase plan, 2,000 shares were retired on July 1. Dow's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $2,150,000. The income tax rate is 25%.
Required:
Compute Dow's earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Answer:
$3.02 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
we know that
Earnings per share = (Net income - preferred dividend) ÷ Weighted average outstanding common shares
= ($2,150,000 - $70,000) ÷ 688,000 shares
= $3.02 per share
Date Particulars No. of shares
01/01-31/12 610000 × 12 ÷ 12 (610000 × 1.04) $634,400
28/02-31/12 63000 × 10 ÷ 12 (52500 × 1.04) $54,600
01/07-31/12 (2000) × 6 ÷ 12 -$1,000
Weighted average outstanding common shares 688,000

A T-bill has a discount Ask quote of 4.80 with 150 days to maturity and sells for $9800. The bill has a face value of $10,000. What is its Ask yield
Answer: 4.97%
Explanation:
Yield = (Face value / Purchase price - 1) * 365 days / Days to maturity
= (10,000 / 9,800 - 1) * 365 / 150
= 0.0204081632653 * 365/150
= 4.97%
According to Gordon Tullock monopoly:_________
a. profits or rents are subject to rent seeking the welfare cost triangle
b. is subject to rent seeking X-inefficiency
c. is something that differentiates government monopolies from private monopolies
d. the theory of monopoly is superior to the theory of perfect competition
Answer:
a. profits or rents are subject to rent seeking the welfare cost triangle
Explanation:
Monopolies are businesses that have sole control of the supply and pricing of a product. Dead weight loss used to be regarded as consumer surplus that does not affect the amount of product that a monopolist can provide.
Gordon Tullock however argued that loss also occurs when businesses are seeking to be a monopoly. There is an associated cost on obtaining and maintaining a monopoly called rent seeking.
Also an additional cost as result of dead weight loss due to payment of tarrif. This can result from net welfare benefit or loss as a result of government policy change (this is referred to as welfare triangle).

Fothergill Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:
Direct materials $23.40
Direct labor 22.30
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.40
Fixed manufacturing overhead 24.60
Unit product cost $71.70
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $59.10 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $390,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor, direct materials and variable manufacturing overhead costs of the part would be avoided. However, $21.90 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.
Required:
a. How much of the unit product cost of $71.70 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part?
b. What is the net total dollar advantage or (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it? (remember that the facility could be used to produce a different product if we purchased the parts from the outside).
c. What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part if the supplier commits to supplying all 40,000 units required each year?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a)
cost per unit
= direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overheard + fixed manufacturing over eard
= $23.40 + $22.30 + $1.40 + ($24.60 - $21.90)
= $49.80
b)
The net advantage is
= manufacturing cost savings + addition contribution margin - cost of purchase of part
= $1,992,000 (40,000 ×$49.80) + $390,000 - $2,364,000 (40,000 × $59.10)
= $18,000
c)
total benefit is
= $1,992,000 + $390,000
= $2,382,000
Now
maximum amount per unit is
= $2,382,000 ÷ 40000
= $59.55
Gross domestic product understates the total production of final goods and services because of the omission of inflation. intermediate goods. exports. the underground economy.
Answer:
the underground economy
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is defined as the monetary value of all goods and services that a country produces within a given period.
It is estimated by using income, expenditure, and production in markets.
However GDP does not consider the underground economy.
The underground economy is made up of transactions that are considered illegal or that do not meet up to the reporting requirements of the government.
In effect these are not reported in GDP so GDP is understated.

Big Canyon Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 16 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and a price of $957. At this price, the bonds yield 9 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds
Answer:
8.48%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What must the coupon rate be on the bonds
First step is to find the coupon rate of the bond.
Coupon payment = $957 = C(PVIFA9.0%,16) + $1,000(PVIF9.0%,16)
Solving for the coupon payment will give us C= $84.83
Now let calculate the coupon rate using this formula
Coupon rate= Coupon payment/ Par value
Let plug in the formula
Coupon rate = $84.83 / $1,000
Coupon rate = .0848*100
Coupon rate =8.48%
Therefore the coupon rate on the bonds is 8.48%
After a careful analysis, managers at Haremon's have concluded that 20 customers per hour need to check out. If the sole cashier can check out 25 customers per hour, what is the cashier's (implied) utilization?
Answer:
Haremon Corporation
The cashier's (implied) utilization is:
= 125%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Billable customers per hour = 25
Estimated number of customers that the cashier is expected to check out per hour = 20
Therefore, the cashier's (implied) utilization is the number of billable customers per hour divided by the total number of customers that the cashier is expected to check out per hour (x 100)
= 25/20 * 100 = 125%

Answer:
John and Lisa form a partnership to operate a restaurant. Lisa signs a two-year lease on a space for the restaurant without consulting John. Under the legal concept of ________, John and the partnership are responsible for this lease, although it was only signed by Lisa.
unlimited liability
Explanation:
The concept of unlimited liability means that business owners are held personally liable for any debt their business might incur. This concept suggests that all involved business partners and the partnership itself are accountable for the full settlement of the debt, including the use of their personal assets when the assets of the partnership are not sufficient.
Julie is purchasing a home for $169,000.00. Her loan has been approved for a 30-year fixed-
rate loan at 5 percent annual interest. She will pay 20 percent of the purchase price as a down
payment. What is the total interest she will pay on her loan?
O $122,877.92
O $126,168.64
$135,200.87
O$142,613.78
The total interest she will pay on her loan is $ 126080.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Julie is purchasing a home for $169,000.
She will pay 20 percent of the purchase price as a down payment.
So, 20% of $169,000 is given as ,
169000\cdot\frac{20}{100}=33800
Thus, amount left to pay = 169,000 - 33800 = $ 135200
Now, Her loan has been approved for a 30-year fixed-rate loan at 5 percent annual interest.
So, Finding monthly payment using formula,
P=\frac{PV\cdot r}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}
Where, PV = present amount
P = monthly payment
r is interest rate per period
n is time per period
Here, PV = 135200
time period = 30 × 12 = 360 months
Monthly interest rate = 5 % = \frac{5}{1200}
Substitute, we have,
P=\frac{135200\cdot\frac{5}{1200}}{1-\left(1+\frac{5}{1200}\right)^{-\left(30\cdot12\right)}}
Simplify, we have,
P = 725.78
Thus, Monthly payment is $ 725.78
Thus, the value of loan after 30 years becomes,
725.78\cdot30\cdot12=261280.8
Total interest paid = Total loan amount after 30 years - present amount
Total interest paid = 261280.8 - 135200 = 126080.8
Thus, The total interest she will pay on her loan is $ 126080.80
Kelso Electric is debating between a leveraged and an unleveraged capital structure. The all equity capital structure would consist of 40,000 shares of stock. The levered capital structure would consist of 25,000 shares of stock plus $280,000 of debt with an interest rate of 7 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
Answer:
$52,267
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
EBIT/40,000 = [EBIT- ($280,000 ×0.07)]/25,000
EBIT/40,000 = [EBIT - ($19,600)]/25,000
Cross multiply
25,000EBIT=40,000(EBIT-19,600)
25,000EBIT=40,000EBIT-784,000,000
EBIT = $52,267
Therefore the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options is $52,267
