his year, State A raised revenues by increasing its general sales tax rate from 5 percent to 6 percent. Because of the increase, the volume of taxable sales declined from $800 million to $710 million. In contrast, State Z raised revenues from its 5 percent sales tax by expanding the tax base to include certain retail services. The volume of services subject to tax was $50 million. Required: Compute the additional revenue raised by State A. Compute the additional revenue raised by State Z.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

a.

For Additional revenue raised by State A:

Following calculations need to be done

Initial revenue = 5% × 800 million

= $40 million

Revenue from increased tax rate is

= 6% × $710 million

= $42.6 million

Now Additional Revenue raised by State A is

= $42.6 million - $40million

= $2,600,000

Answers

Answer:

Miyazaki Company

a. Analysis of transactions:

Sales in 2017 = $787,500

Credit Sales = $630,000 (80% of $787,500)

Total collections on account = $502,500

Uncollectibles written off =   $3,000

Unpaid balance for the year = $229,500 ($105,000 + $124,500)

b. a) Bad Debt Expense = $18,900

Net Realizable Value =                $210,600        $214,680

d. The recognition of bad debts expense does not have any direct effect on the net realizable value.  It is the Allowance for doubtful accounts that has a negative effect on the net realizable value.

The write-off of accounts reduces the net realizable value by $3,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning balances:

Accounts receivable = $105,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $1,950

Sales in 2017 = $787,500

Credit Sales = $630,000 (80% of $787,500)

Total collections on account = $502,500

Uncollectibles written off =   $3,000

Unpaid balance for the year = $229,500 ($105,000 + $124,500)

Bad Debts Expense = $18,900 ($630,000 * 3%)

Allowance for Uncollectibles = $13,770 ($229,500 * 6%)

a) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

As a project engineer, you received the AW analysis below from the finance department. It is for a new piece of equipment you ordered some months ago. You were told the interest rate used was 10% per year, but no first cost or projected salvage value was provided and you want to know them. Determine the values of P and S using the AW values for the year 3. Note: The AW values are equivalent values through the given year, not costs for the single year.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the value of P and the value of S is shown below:

For P

The Annual worth of the first cost for the year 3 is $18,899

Now

Annual worth = First Cost(A/P, 10%, 3)

$18,899 = P[0.1(1 + 0.1)^3 ÷ ((1 + 0.1)^3 - 1)]

$18,899 = 0.4021P

P = $46,999

For S

The Annual worth of the salvage value for the year 3 is $6,648

Now

Annual worth = Salvage value(A/F, 10%, 3)

$6,648 = S[0.1 ÷ ((1 + 0.1)^3 – 1)]

$6,648 = 0.30211S

S = $22,005

Mary Alice just won the lottery and is trying to decide between the options of receiving the annual cash flow payment option of $420,000 per year for 25 years beginning today, or receiving one lump-sum amount today. Mary Alice can earn 6% investing this money. At what lump-sum payment amount would she be indifferent between the two alternatives

Answers

Answer:

The lum-sum must equal $5,369,009.59

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

First option:

Annual payment= $420,000

Number of periods= 25 years

Interest rate= 6%

First, we need to calculate the future value of the first option using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {420,000*[(1.06^25) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $23,043,095.04

Now, to determine the lump-sum to receive today, we need to determine the present worth of the annuity:

PV= FV / (1 + i)^n

PV= 23,043,095.04 / (1.06^25)

PV= $5,369,009.59

Explanation:

Variable Costing calculations

Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Cost

                              = $296 + $57 + $34

                              = $387

Cost of Goods Manufactured (28,000 x $387)  =  $10,836,000

Ending Inventory (4,000 x $387) =  $1,548,000

Absorption Costing calculations

Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Cost + Fixed Manufacturing Costs

                              = $296 + $57 + $34 + ($448,000 ÷ $28,000)

                              = $296 + $57 + $34 + $16

                              = $403

Cost of Goods Manufactured (28,000 x $403)  =  $11,284,000

Ending Inventory (4,000 x $403) =  $1,612,000

Ending Inventory units

Ending Inventory units = Opening units + Production - Sales

                                      = 0 + 28,000 - 24,000

                                      = 4,000 units

The difference in absorption costing and variable costing net operating income is due to fixed manufacturing costs deferred in ending inventory

The welding department supplies parts to the final assembly line. Management decides to implement a kanban system and has collected the following data: The daily demand is 2500 units. The production lead time is 3 days (this includes processing time, transport time, and waiting time). Management has decided to have 1.5 days of safety stock. One container fits 250 units.How many kanban containers will be needed to support this system?

Answers

Answer: 45 containers

Explanation:

The number of containers needed is calculated by:

= (Expected demand during Lead time + Safety Stock) / Container Capacity

Expected demand during Lead time = Daily demand * Lead time

= 2,500 * 3

= 7,500 units

Safety stock = 1.5 days * 2,500

= 3,750 units

Number of containers needed:

= (7,500 + 3,750) / 250

= 45 containers

Mars Corporation merges into Jupiter Corporation by exchanging all of its assets for 300,000 shares of Jupiter stock valued at $2 per share and $100,000 cash. Wanda, the sole shareholder of Mars, surrenders her Mars stock (basis $900,000) and receives all of the Jupiter stock transferred to Mars plus the $100,000. How does Wanda treat this transaction on her tax return

Answers

Answer: capital loss of $200000

Explanation:

To solve the question goes thus:

Value of shares that was received from Jupiter = 300000 × $2 = $600,000

Cash received = $100,000

Total gotten = $700,000

We then deduct the value of stock that was foregone by Mars. This will be:

= $700,000 - $900,000

= - $200,000

Therefore, a capital loss of $200,000 would be disclosed in the Income tax return.

Suppose you are a euro-based investor who just sold shares of a U.S. company that you had bought six months ago. You had invested 10,000 euros to buy theshares for $120 per share; the exchange rate was $1.03 per euro. You sold the stock for $171 per share and converted the dollar proceeds into euro at the exchange rate of $0.94 per euro.

Required:
Compute the rate of return on your investment in euro terms.

Answers

Answer:

The rate of return on your investment in euro terms is 56.14%.

Explanation:

Amount invested in euros = 10,000 euros

Amount invested in dollars = Amount invested in euros * Exchange rate at the time of purchase = 10,000 euros * $1.03 = $10,300

Number of shares bought = Amount invested in dollars / Cost price per share in dollars = $10,300 / $120 = 85.8333333333333

Proceeds from sales in dollars = Number of shares bought * Selling price per share in dollars = 85.8333333333333 * $171 = $14,677.50

Proceeds from sales in euros = Proceeds from sales in dollars / Exchange rate at the time of sales = $14,677.50 / $0.94 = 15,614.36 euros

Rate of return in euro terms = (Proceeds from sales in euros - Amount invested in euros) / Amount invested in euros = (15,614.36 - 10,000) / 10,000 = 0.5614, or 56.14%

Therefore, the rate of return on your investment in euro terms is 56.14%.

Once international trade occurs, a country with a comparative advantage in the production of a good will ________ production of the good and ________. Question 3 options: not change; import the good decrease; export the good increase; export the good increase; import the good decrease; import the good

Answers

Answer:

increase; export the good.

Explanation:

Globalization can be defined as the strategic process which involves the integration of various markets across the world to form a large global marketplace. Basically, globalization makes it possible for various organizations to produce goods and services that is used by consumers across the world.

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.

Once international trade occurs, a country with a comparative advantage in the production of a good will increase production of the good and export the good.

Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.

The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.

Answers

Answer: $230,000

Explanation:

Gross profit to be earned from project:

= Construction price - cost of construction

= 6,000,000 - 5,500,000

= $500,000

Percentage of costs incurred in 2017:

= 2,530,000 / 5,500,000 * 100%

= 46%

The Gross profit for 2017 is therefore:

= Percentage of cost incurred * total gross profit

= 46% * 500,000

= $230,000

A machine that cost $121,000 has an estimated residual value of $11,000 and an estimated useful life of 11,000 machine hours. The company uses units-of-production depreciation and ran the machine 3,000 hours in year 1, 2,000 hours in year 2, and 3,000 hours in year 3. Calculate its book value at the end of year 3. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answers

Answer:

Book value= $41,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $121,000

Salvage value= $11,000

Useful life= 11,000 machine hours

First, we need to calculate the depreciation expense for each year using the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated

Year 1:

Annual depreciation= [(121,000 - 11,000) / 11,000]*2,000

Annual depreciation= 10*3,000

Annual depreciation= $30,000

Year 2:

Annual depreciation= 10*2,000

Annual depreciation= $20,000

Year 3:

Annual depreciation= 10*3,000

Annual depreciation= $30,000

Now, the accumulated depreciation:

Accumulated depreciation= 30,000 + 20,000 + 30,000

Explanation:

Rahul needs a loan and is speaking to several lending agencies about the interest rates they would charge and the terms they offer. He particularly likes his local bank because he is being offered a nominal rate of 6%. But the bank is compounding monthly. What is the effective interest rate that Rahul would pay for the loan

Answers

Answer: 6.17%

Explanation:

When calculating the effective rate of an interest rate being compounded over a number of periods in a year, use the following:

= [ (1 + Nominal rate / Number of periods in a year) ^ Number of periods in a year- 1] * 100%

Number of periods = Compounding is monthly = 12

Effective rate = [ (1 + 6% / 12)¹² - 1 ] * 100%

= 6.17%

Answers

Answer:

1. Accounting rate of return ⇒ Considers operating income but not the time value of money in its analyses.

Accounting rate of return is only concerned with the rate of return made over the life of the asset.

2. Internal rate of return ⇒ The true rate of return an investment earns.

Internal rate of return shows the true rate of investment and it does so by equating the NPV to zero.

3. Net present value ⇒ Compares the present value of cash outflows to the present value of cash inflows to determine investment worthiness.

Net Present value allows us to subtract the present value of outflows from inflows and is a very useful capital budgeting techniques.

4. Payback ⇒ Is only concerned with the time it takes to get cash outflows returned.

Payback period is concerned with the time it would take to pay off the investment. It does not try to convince other titans.

Before you even start researching the feasibility of your idea and the market you plan on entering, evaluate your own talents, desires and goals. Consider your willingness to take risks as well as the amount of time and energy you’ll need to make the business a success. Review your financial, personnel and marketing skills as well to ensure you have the necessary background to make a success of your new venture.

Branford has one share of stock and one bond. The total value of the two securities is $1,200. The bond has a YTM of 10.2%, a coupon rate of 9.2%, and a face value of $1,000; pays semi-annual coupons with the next one expected in 6 months; and matures in 8 years. The stock pays annual dividends and the next dividend is expected to be $24.87 and paid in one year. The expected return for the stock is 15.2%. What is the price of the stock expected to be in 1 year?

Answers

Answer:

The price of the stock is expected to be $188.16 in 1 year.

Explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

Current price of the stock = Expected next dividend / Expected return = $24.87 / 15.2% = $163.62

Expected stock price in 1 year = Current price of the stock * (100% + Expected return)^Number of year = $163.62 * (100% + 15.2%)^1 = $188.16

Therefore, the price of the stock is expected to be $188.16 in 1 year.

Nemo Gill was hired by the Spectacular Tropical Aquarium and agreed to submit any disputes arising out of his employment to binding arbitration. Nemo was fired when he became a Rastafarian and urged his coworkers to become vegetarians and smoke ganja. Without waiting for the results of the arbitration, Nemo filed a complaint alleging religious discrimination with the EEOC. The EEOC quickly filed a lawsuit on his behalf. Spectacular moved to have the EEOC's lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that Nemo signed a valid arbitration agreement.

a. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo signed the mandatory arbitration agreement.
b. The EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration.
c. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo did not wait for the results of the arbitration.
d. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo's urging his co-workers to smoke ganja and become vegetarians had nothing to do with his job.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer to the question above is OPTION B (The EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration).

Explanation:

Companies (mostly private) usually desire their employees to sign an arbitration agreement giving the fact that it removes the power of an employee to take the employer to court on certain claims instead the claims go through an arbitration proceeding that happens outside of court.

EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) enforces the laws of the state that prohibits discrimination against employees by their employers because of where they come from, their religion, their marital status, sex, their citizenship, and a whole lot more.

So, the EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration because the EEOC itself was not a party to the arbitration agreement between Spectacular and Nemo, and the U. S. Supreme Court gave EEOC the power to exercise its enforcement powers.

On September 1, 2012, an investor purchases a $10,000 par T-bond that matures in 8 years. The coupon rate is 8 percent and the investor buys the bond 45 days after the last coupon payment (135 days before the next). The ask yield is 7 percent. The dirty price of the bond is

Answers

Answer:

Dirty price of the bond = $10,098.63

Explanation:

Clean price = $10,000

Accrued interest = F * (C / M) * (D / T) ............... (1)

F = Face value = $10,000

C = Total annual coupon rate = 8%, or 0.08

M = Number of coupon payment per year = 1

D = Days since last payment date = 45

T = Accrual period (Number of days between payments) = 365

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Accrued interest = $10000 * (0.08 / 1) * (45 / 365) = $98.63

Dirty price of the bond = Clean price + Accrued interest = $10,000 + $98.63 = $10,098.63

The dirty price of the bond is $10,098.63.

Calculation of the dirty price of the bond:

Since Clean price = $10,000

Now

Accrued interest = Face value * (Coupon rate / coupon payment) * (Days / period)

So,

Accrued interest = $10000 * (0.08 / 1) * (45 / 365)

= $98.63

Now we know that

Dirty price of the bond = Clean price + Accrued interest

= $10,000 + $98.63

= $10,098.63

Hence, we can conclude that The dirty price of the bond is $10,098.63.
