You are considering a project in Honduras that would generate 1.5 million dollars in cash flows per year going forever. The cost of the project is 8 million dollars. The discount rate for the project is 12%. You believe that there is some probability of expropriation prior to the 4th year (after the 3rd cash flow). Which of the following fully describes when this is a good project?
a. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is larger than 0.33
b. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.33
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
d. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.66 7.
Answer:
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
Explanation:
initial outlay = $8,000,000
if no expropriation, NPV = -$8,000,000 + $1,500,000/0.12 = $4,500,000
if the risk of expropriation is 0.33:
NPV = $925,211
if the risk of expropriation is 0.5:
NPV = -$425,265
the breakeven risk = 44.6%
A newspaper report states the following: "On March 2, Bastiaan Vanacker was arrested for indecent exposure"; However, what really happened was that someone called Sebastian Van Akker was arrested on March first for indecent exposure. The journalist made a mistake when reading the police report. Both Vanacker and Van Akker sue the newspaper for libel. Given libel jurisprudence, which of the following is most likely to happen? They both are private figures.
a. Bastiaan Vanacker wins a libel suit , Sebastian Van Akker loses.
b. Sebastian Van Akker wins a libel suit, Bastiaan Vanacker loses a libel suit.
c. They both win a libel suit.
d. They both lose a libel suit
Answer:
a. Bastiaan Vanacker wins a libel suit , Sebastian Van Akker loses.
Explanation:
Libel is where a defamatory statement has been published and that statement is false, this will result in the person able to claim libel charges.
This means that if information about someone is publicised (specially a private figure) for any criminal act and which could lead to damage that person's reputation seriously without any proper evidence or even false evidence then this would become ground for a libel case.
Such as in this case where a journalist reported that Bastiaan Vanacker was arrested for indecent exposure even though this was not really the case. As confirmed through the police report which the journalist had misread. This libel suit filed by Bastiaan Vanacker would be won, as his reputation has been damaged to the falsely alleged report published in the newspaper.
However, in the case of Sebastian Van Akker, who had actually committed the crime and no information was mentioned about him in the newspaper, will lose the libel suit filed. This is due to the fact that he was not defamed for any act which he himself had not conducted.

Explanation:
Material prices, ordering costs, and keeping costs are the three major expense groups for the supermarket's inventory strategy. The money spent to Proctor and Gamble on the materials themselves is known as the material expense. Ordering prices, also known as procurement costs, are charged when a customer requests supplies from a retailer and are fixed so that they do not change depending on the scale of the order. Fixed examples include the following:
The costs include the time it takes to put the order, deal with the paperwork that comes with it, and the cost of shipping the order. The holding cost is the cost of keeping a single unit in inventory for a set amount of time, normally a year. This expense is subjective and covers the cost of capital as well as all of the costs of physically handling material, such as shrinkage, spoilage, or obsolescence, insurance, the cost of capital, the cost of storage space, and so on.
Phelps, Inc. had assets of $71,028, liabilities of $16,084, and 11,130 shares of outstanding common stock at December 31, 2017. Net income for 2017 was $8,236. The company had assets of $83,529, liabilities of $19,293, 10,897 shares of outstanding common stock, and its stock was trading at a price of $10 per share at December 31, 2018. Net income for 2018 was $10,114.
Required:
a. Calculate EPS for 2018.
b. Calculate ROE for 2018.
c. Calculate the Price/Earnings Ratio for 2018.
Answer:
a. Earning per share = Net income / Average no of shares outstanding
Average no of shares outstanding = (Beginning shares + Ending share)/2 = (11,130 + 10,897) / 2 = 11,013.5.
Earning per share = $10,114/11,013.5 shares = $0.9183
b. Return on equity = Net income / Average stockholders equity
Stockholders equity 2017 = $71,028-$16,084 = $54,944
Stockholders equity 2018 = $83,529-$19,293 = $64,236
Average Stockholders equity = ($54,944+$64,236)/2 = $59,590
Return on equity = $10,114/$59,590
Return on equity = 0.1697265
Return on equity = 16.97%
c. Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings per share
Price earnings ratio = $10/$0.9183
Price earnings ratio = 10.88968746596973
Price earnings ratio = 10.89

Pittman Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,110 per month plus $11 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 621 frames, but the actual level of activity was 611 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $8,250. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Spending variance for supplies = Standard cost - Actual cost
Standard cost formulae = $1,110 per month + $11 per frame
Standard cost for actual output = $1,110 + ($11 × 611)
= $1,110 + $6,721
= $7,831
But actual cost = $8,250
Therefore,
Spending variance would be
= $7,831 - $8,250
= $419 unfavourable
The spending variance for supplies cost in November is closest to $419 unfavourable

Why is the cost of goods sold account part of a trading business only?
The cost of goods sold account is part of a trading business, but not seen in the income statement of a service business. This is because in a
service business, no
goods are sold to the consumers.
Answer:
Indeed, the cost of goods sold account is part of a trading business, but not seen in the income statement of a service business, because in a service business, no material goods are sold to the consumers. In this way, contrary to what happens in the sale of goods, in the sale of services the seller does not offer a material with a previous production cost to the buyer, but rather offers the performance of a certain task, with which there is no material component in the offer, but rather an execution of an act and the knowledge of how to carry out said execution by the person providing the service.

Her share of the taxable income from the partnership since she purchased the interest has been $70,000, and Elaine has received $80,000 in cash distributions from the partnership. Elaine did not recognize any gains as a result of the distributions. In the current year, Hornbeam also allocated $1,000 of tax-exempt interest to Elaine. Calculate Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest. $fill in the blank 1
Answer: $31000
Explanation:
Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest will be calculated as:
= Value of original basis + (interest purchased - Cash received) + tax exempt interest
= $40000 + ($70000 - $80000) + $1000
= $40000 - $10000 + $1000

Lester sold a warehouse with an original cost of $150,000 for $230,000. The warehouse had accumulated depreciation of $40,000. The recognized gain on the sale was $ . The amount of the gain that is unrecaptured Section 1250 gain is $ and will be taxed at a maximum rate of percent. The remaining $ will be taxed at a maximum rate of 20%.
Answer:
Recognized Gain:
= Selling price - Net book value
= 230,000 - (150,000 - 40,000)
= $120,000
The amount of the gain that is unrecaptured Section 1250 gain:
= Selling Price - Cost of asset - Accumulated depreciation
= 230,000 - 150,000 - 40,000
= $40,000
Tax will be maximum rate of 25% as per IRS rules.
The cash to be charged at maximum of 20% is:
= Gain - Section 1250 gain
= 120,000 - 40,000
= $80,000
Mount Snow Inc. operates a Rocky Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift ticket pricing for the coming ski season. Investors would like to earn a 15% return on the company's $115 million of assets. The company incurs primarily fixed costs to groom the runs and operate the lifts. Mount Snow projects fixed costs to be $43,500,000 for the ski season. The resort serves 900,000 skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are $10 per guest. The resort had such a favorable reputation among skiers and snowboarders that it had some control over the lift ticket prices. Assume that Mount Snow's reputation has diminished and other resorts in the vicinity are charging only $66 per lift ticket. Mount Snow has become a price-taker and won't be able to charge more than its competitors. At the market price, Mount Snow's managers believe they will still serve 900,000 skiers and snowboarders each season.
Requried:
a. Would Mount Snow emphasize target costing or cost-plus pricing. Why?
b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?
Answer:
Mount Snow Inc.
a. Mount Snow would emphasize cost-plus pricing and not target costing. The target costing considered the investors expected returns on investment. Based on the target returns, customers were then charged any fee to meet the target profit, including all other costs. Now that Mount Snow is a price-taker, it cannot meet the target returns. It can only work with the cost-plus pricing strategy in order to rein in its costs.
b. As a price-taker, Mount Snow cannot charge more than $66. It should charge $66.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investors expected return on investment = 15%
Cost of investment = $115,000,000
Ski Season's Fixed costs = $43,500,000
No of skiers and snowboarders served = 900,000
Variable costs per guest = $10
Charges by other resorts in the vicinity = $66 per lift ticket
Total expected revenue $59,400,000 ($66 * 900,000)
Total variable costs = $9,000,000
Fixed costs = 43,500,000
Total costs = $52,500,000
Profit = $6,900,000
Target profit = $17,250,000 ($115,000,000 * 15%)
Sunland Company just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 153 units $1071 June 10 204 units 1632 June 15 204 units 1836 June 28 153 units 1530 $6069 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 204 units on hand. Using the average cost method, the amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 is
Answer:
the ending inventory is $1,734
Explanation:
The computation of the amount allocated to the ending inventory is shown below:
But before that the average per unit is
= Total amount ÷ total units
= $6,069 ÷ (153 + 204 + 204 + 153)
= $8.5
Since the ending inventory units is 204 units
So, the ending inventory is
= $8.5 ×204 units
= $1,734
hence, the ending inventory is $1,734

Answer:
the profit that producers make above the cost of production.
Explanation:
Producer surplus is best defined as the profit that producers make above the cost of production.
Basically, it is the total amount of money that a particular producer of goods and services benefits (gains) from selling at the market price.
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Answer:
$149,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of net sales is shown below:
= Sales revenue - sales return & allowance - sales discount
= $156,000 - $2,000 - $5,000
= $149,000
We simply deduct the two items from the sales revenue so that the net sales revenue could be come and the same would be reported on the income statement
Warranty Costs Milford Company sells a motor that carries a three-month unconditional warranty against product failure. Based on a reliable statistical analysis, Milford knows that between the sale and the end of the product warranty period, four percent of the units sold will require repair at an average cost of $60 per unit. The following data reflect Milford's recent experience:
October November December Dec. 31 Total 23,000 22,000 25,000 70,000 Units sold Known product failures from sales in: October November December 120 460 180 130 160 220 350 210 210
Calculate, and prepare a journal entry to record, the estimated liability for product warranties at December 31. Assume that warranty costs of known failures have already been reflected in the records. Credit General Journal Date Description Dec.31 Product Warranty Expense Estimated Liability for Product Warranty To provide for estimated future warranty expense. $ Debit 64,800 $ 0 64,800
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the estimated liability and the journal entry is given below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The Estimated defective units is
= 70,000 × 4%
= 2,800 units
the actual defective units is
= 460 + 350 + 210
= 1,020 units
The no of unclaimed units is
= 2,800 - 1,020
= 1,780 units
Now the warranty expense is
= 1,780 units × $60 per unit
= $106,800
Now the journal entry is given below:
Product warranty expense Dr $106,800
To Estimated liability $106,800
(Being estimated liability is recorded)

Explanation:
Joint products A and B emerge from common processing that costs $116,000 and yields 4,000 units of Product A and 2,800 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $280 per unit. Product B can be sold for $100 per unit. How much of the joint cost will be assigned to Product A if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales values
Answer:
Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800
Explanation:
Joint costs are the costs incurred up until the split-off where two or more products result from the same production process. These common costs need to be apportioned among the joint products using any of the following basis:
physical unitsRelative sales value basis.The relative value basis apportions joint costs using the proportion of product individual sales value to the the total sales value.
Total sales value = (280×4,000) + (100×2,800) =1400000
Apportioned joint cost to A =(1,120,000/1,400,000)× 116,000=92800
Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800
