You want to buy industrial ethanol and you have $125USD to spend. The domestic price is $0.7USD per liter. You can also buy ethanol with free shipping from Canada and Mexico. The price in Canada is $0.5CD and the price in Mexico is 10 pesos per liter. The spot US-CA exchange rate is $0.85 USD and the CA-MX exchange rate is 16₱. From what country should you buy your ethanol and how much can you afford to buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Canada.

Explanation:

The exchange rates is given below;

=> Mexican Peso to Canadian dollar = 16.

=> USD to Canda = 0.85.

=> The Cross rate for USD to Mexican Peso = 0.053125.

=> Cross rate for USD to Mexican Peso = 0.85/16.

In the United States of America Available funds in domestic currency =

125.00, 125.00.

In the United States of America the Domestic price per litre = 0.7.

US Litres purchased = 178.57.

For Canada and Mexico, the Available funds in domestic currency,

125/0.85; 147.06(Canada)

125/0.053125; 2,352.94 (Mexico).

For Canada and Mexico, the Domestic price per litre;

0.50(Canada) 10.00(Mexico).

Litres purchased for Canada and Mexico;

294.12(Canada) 235.29(Mexico).

Answer 2

You should buy your ethanol from Canada and you can afford to buy 294 liters."

To determine from which country you should buy the ethanol and how much you can afford, we need to calculate the cost per liter of ethanol in USD for each country and then compare the results.

 First, let's calculate the cost per liter in USD for each country:

1. Domestic price: $0.7 USD per liter.

2. Canadian price: $0.5 CD per liter.

 To convert to USD, we use the US-CA exchange rate: $0.5 CD * $0.85 USD/CD = $0.425 USD per liter.

3. Mexican price: 10 pesos per liter.

 To convert to USD, we first convert pesos to Canadian dollars using the CA-MX exchange rate, and then convert Canadian dollars to USD using the US-CA exchange rate:

 10₱ * 1/16 CD/₱ = $0.625 CD per liter.

 Then, $0.625 CD * $0.85 USD/CD = $0.53125 USD per liter.

Now that we have the cost per liter in USD for each country, we can compare them:

- Domestic: $0.7 USD/liter

- Canada: $0.425 USD/liter

- Mexico: $0.53125 USD/liter

 The Canadian price is the cheapest.

Next, let's calculate how much ethanol you can afford to buy with $125 USD from Canada:

 Amount of ethanol you can buy = Total budget / Cost per liter

 = $125 USD / $0.425 USD/liter

 = 294.11765 liters

 Since you cannot buy a fraction of a liter, you can afford to buy 294 liters of ethanol from Canada.

Therefore, the best option is to buy the ethanol from Canada, and you can afford to buy 294 liters with your budget of $125 USD.

 The answer is: You should buy your ethanol from Canada and you can afford to buy 294 liters."

On November 16, the company also enters a forward contract to sell €100,000 on March 16, 2020. On March 16, the company receives €100,000 from the customer and sells it using the forward contract. The company's accounting year ends December 31. Rates on the dates specified appear below: Spot Rate Forward Rate for March 16, 2020 Delivery November 16, 2019 $ 1.250 $ 1.248 December 31, 2019 1.260 1.255 March 16, 2020 1.265 1.265 2. At what amount will the company report sales revenue on its 2019 income statement? A. $125,000 B. $125,500 C. $124,800 D. $126,000

Answers

Answer:

$125,000

Explanation:

Given the following resorted data from the question:  

                                          Spot Rate                   Forward Rate for

                                                                          March 16, 2020 Delivery

March 16, 2020                    1.265                                  1.265

The applicable rate to use to calculate the amount the company will report sales revenue on its 2019 income statement is the spot rate ruling on the date the company made the sale to the customer in Germany, i.e. $1.250 on November 16, 2019.

Therefore, we have:

Sales revenue = €100,000 * $1.250 = $125,000.

Therefore, the amount the company will report sales revenue on its 2019 income statement is $125,000.

Riverboat Adventures pays $120,000 plus $20,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land appraised at $22,100, a building appraised at $66,300, and paddle boats appraised at $81,600. Compute the cost that should be allocated to the building.

Answers

Answer:

$54,600

Explanation:

The computation of the cost that should be allocated to the building is shown below

Total purchase cost is

= $120,000 + $20,000

= $140,000

Total appraisal value is

= $22,100 + $66,300 + $81,600

= $170,000

Now cost allocated to building is

= Purchase cost × building appraisal value ÷ Total appraisal value

= $140,000 × $66,300 ÷ $170,000

= $54,600

We simply applied the above formula

Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $19, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 7 Direct labor 5 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 19 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 6,600 of the parts for only $15 each. The company estimates that 80% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be:

Answers

Answer :

Advantage = $3

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

Particulars                     Manufacturing                          buying

Purchase from outside suppliers                                  $15

Direct material                    $7

Direct labor                        $5

Variable manufacturing overhead $2

Fixed manufacturing overhead $4

Total cost                          $18                                              $15

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $5 × 80% = $4

Since it give the net advantage of $3

Hence, Supler Corporation should purchase from the outside supplier.

We compare the manufacturing and buying cost and according to the cost we take the decision. As we can see that the buying cost is less than the manufacturing cost so it would give the advantage of $3

Answers

Answer:

211%

$34.9   per direct labor hour

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Pre-determined overhead rate = Total overhead ÷ Direct labor cost

= $191,950 ÷ $90,600

= 211 % of Direct labor hour

Pre-determined overhead rate = Total overhead ÷ Direct labor hours

= $191,950 ÷ $5,500

= $34.9 per direct labor hour

We simply applied the above formulas to determine the value of predetermined overhead rate.

Pack, Inc. applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine hours. The following estimates were used for the current year: Estimated Machine Hours 200,000 Estimated Manufacturing Overhead $1,000,000 Actual machine hours were 202,000 and actual manufacturing overhead was $1,005,000. What was Pack's over- or under-applied overhead for the year and what was its effect on cost of goods sold (prior to adjustment)?

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated Machine Hours 200,000

Estimated Manufacturing Overhead $1,000,000

Actual machine hours were 202,000

actual manufacturing overhead was $1,005,000.

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for the period:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,000,000/200,000= $5 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual hours:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 5*202,000= $1,010,000

Finally, we need to determine the under/over allocation:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 1,005,000 - 1,010,000= 5,000 overallocated

The effect on the cost of goods sold is that it will be overestimated in the income statement.

Valorous Corporation will pay a dividend of $ 1.90 per share at this​ year's end and a dividend of $ 2.35 per share at the end of next year. It is expected that the price of​ Valorous' stock will be $ 41 per share after two years. If Valorous has an equity cost of capital of 8​%, what is the maximum price that a prudent investor would be willing to pay for a share of Valorous stock​ today?

Answers

Answer:

The multiple choices are as follows:

a) 41.45

b) 42.40

c) 38.92

d) 40.22

The correct option is C,$38.92

Explanation:

The maximum price a prudent and rational investor would be willing to pay for a share of Valorous stock today is the present value of future cash flows promised by the stock.

The stock promised to pay dividend of $1.90 at year end ,$2.35 next year and would command a price of $41 per share at the end of next year.

Share price=$1.90/(1+8%)+$2.35/(1+8%)^2+$41/(1+8%)^2=$38.92

The above calculation makes of use of discounting factor which is given by 1/(1+r)^n

r is the  cost of capital of 8%

n is the relevant of cash flow

The Western and Pacific Railroad has two divisions, the Western Division and the Pacific Division. The company recently invested $7,100,000 to maintain its railroad track. Pertinent data for the two divisions are as follows: Total Miles Traveled: Western Division 710,000 miles Pacific Division 1,110,000 miles The amount of track improvement cost that should be allocated to the Western Division is: (Round intermediate calculation to 1 decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:

Cost allocated to Western Division=  $2,769,780.22

Explanation:

The track improvement cost should be fairly allocated to the divisions using the miles traveled as basis.

Total miles traveled = 710,000 + 1,110,000= 1,820,000

Cost allocated to Western division = (710,000/1820,000)× 7,100,000

                                       =  $2,769,780.22  

Using the present value tables in Exhibits 26-3 and 26-4, Assume that the required rate of return for investment projects at Rippenstock Corporation is 12 percent. One department has proposed investment in new equipment with a 10-year life span and a present value of expected future annual cash flows of $120,000. The equipment’s initial outlay cost is $125,000 and it has a salvage value of $10,000. Will this investment project meet the required rate of return for the company? (Round your "PV factors" to 3 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

the required rate of return = 12%

if the present value of the project's cash flows after being discounted at the required rate of return = $120,000, then the net present value (NPV) of the project is negative. Future cash flows are discounted at the company's required rate of return, if they were discounted at a lower rate, their present value would be higher.

Any project with a negative NPV should be rejected because it doesn't provide enough cash flows.

Dividends shown on the company’s financial statements would be higher if LIFO rather than FIFO is used.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a)

1.  FIFO inventory        >     LIFO inventory

(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first or sold first so the remaining inventory are old inventory which is less costlier.)

2. FIFO cost of goods sold     <    LIFO cost of goods sold

(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first which are expensive so the cost of production is greater than FIFO.)

3. FIFO net income        >    LIFO net income

(Because cost of production is less under FIFO and the value of closing inventory is high, therefore the net income is also high.)

4.  FIFO income taxes   >   LIFO income taxes

(Since, income is high in FIFO, therefore the tax under FIFO will be higher.)

b) Management would like prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices because Income shown in the company's Tax return will be higher if we use FIFO rather than using LIFO.

Answers

Answer:

Under the allowance method of accounting for bad debts, uncollectible accounts receivable are estimated at the end of the accounting period to match bad debt expense to the period in which the revenues were earned.

Explanation:

Allowance method as a term in financial accounting means uncollectible accounts receivable process that records an estimate of bad debt expense in the same accounting period as the sale.

The purpose of allowance method is to adjust accounts receivable appearing on the balance sheet.

therefore, under the allowance method of accounting for bad debts, uncollectible accounts receivable are estimated at the end of the accounting period to provides better matching of expenses and revenues on the income statement matching bad debt expense to the period in which the revenues were earned.

Under the allowance method, uncollectible accounts receivable are estimated to match bad debt expense to the revenue period and provide a more accurate picture of financial health.

The allowance method of accounting for bad debts requires the estimation of uncollectible accounts receivable at the end of the accounting period primarily to match bad debt expense to the period in which the revenues were earned. This process conforms to the matching principle in accounting, which states that expenses should be reported in the same period as the revenues they helped to generate. When a company prepares its financial statements, it must account for the potential bad debts to give a more accurate picture of its financial health. Thus, estimating the uncollectible accounts is necessary to determine the gross realizable value of accounts receivable.

SIROM Scientific Solutions has $10 million of outstanding equity and $5 million of bank debt. The bank debt costs 5% per year. The estimated equity beta is 2. If the market risk premium is 9% and the risk-free rate is 3%, compute the weighted average cost of capital if the firm’s tax rate is 30%.

Answers

Answer:

15.167%

Explanation:

For computing the WACC we need to do the following calculations which are shown below:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Market risk premium  

= 3% + 2 × 9%

= 21%  

After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt ×  (1-Tax Rate)

= 5% × (1 - 0.30)

= 3.50%

Now

WACC = Weight of debt ×  Cost of debt + Weight of equity × Cost of equity

= 5 ÷ 15 × 3.50 + 10 ÷ 15 × 21

= 1.167% + 14%

= 15.167%

10-20 Royal Cigar Company is preparing a budget for cash collections. Its sales for November and December are estimated as $90,000 and $100,000, respectively. Past practice indicates that sales in any given month are collected as follows: month of sale, 75%; month following the month of sale, 20%; uncollectible accounts, 5%. The company allows a 2% discount for cash collections in the month of sale. What is the net cash estimated to be collected in December

Answers

Answer:

$91,500

Explanation:

Given that cash collection pattern is as follows; month of sale, 75%; month following the month of sale, 20%; and a 2% discount for cash collections in the month of sale, it means that cash estimated for collection in December will include;

75% sales in December (net of the 2% discount to be given)20% sales in November

Discount for December cash collection

= 2% * 75% * $100,000

= $1500

Hence, net cash estimated to be collected in December

= 75% * $100,000 + 20% * 90,000 - $1500

= $75,000 + $18,000 - $1500

= $91,500

Final answer:

The estimated net cash collection for the Royal Cigar Company in December, is calculated considering both the sales of December and the collections from November sales. Applying their discount and collections ratio, it results in a 73% collection from December's $100,000 sales, and 20% from November's $90,000 sales. Adding these together ($73,000 + $18,000), the net cash collection for December is estimated to be $91,000.

Explanation:

To find the net cash collected by the Royal Cigar Company in December, you need to take into account both the sales made in December and the sales made in November that will be collected in December, while considering the percentages of payment month, discounts, and uncollected accounts.

First, let's calculate the cash collected from the sales made in December. We know that 75% of the sales are collected in the month of the sale, but there's a 2% discount, which means 73% of the $100,000 sales, which equals to $73,000.

Then, we add the cash collected from November sales in December, which, according to the company practice is 20% of the total November sales, so this is 20% of $90,000, which is $18,000.

We then sum the two amounts: $73,000 from December sales and $18,000 from November sales. So, the total estimated net cash collection in December is $91,000.

Which of the following describes the budget balance as a percent of GDP in 2019?

a. The Federal government's budget balance as a percent of GDP was higher than predicted by the trendline (that is, the deficit is smaller), so fiscal policy was more expansionary than usual.
b. The Federal government's budget balance as a percent of GDP was lower than predicted by the trendline (that is, the deficit is bigger) ), so fiscal policy was more expansionary than usual.
c. The Federal government's budget balance as a percent of GDP was higher than predicted by the trendline (that is, the deficit is smaller), so fiscal policy was less expansionary than usual.
d. The Federal government's budget balance as a percent of GDP was lower than predicted by the trendline (that is, the deficit is bigger) ), so fiscal policy was less expansionary than usual.
e. The Federal government's budget balance as a percent of GDP was close to the prediction by the trendline (within 0.5%), so fiscal policy was just as expansionary as usual.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option B) The Federal government's budget balance as a percent of GDP was lower than predicted by the trendline (that is, the deficit is bigger) ), so fiscal policy was more expansionary than usual.

Explanation:

The annual budget deficit increased from $585 billion (3.2% GDP) in 2016 to $984 billion (4.7% GDP) in 2019.

Contrary to fiscal predictions, The U.S. fiscal deficit increased by $1 trillion in 2019, the first time it has passed that level in a calendar year since 2012.

A situation like this necessitates an expansionary fiscal policy.

Expansionary Fiscal Policy is a tool used by government to increase disposable income by reducing tax and increasing government expenditure.

This will lead to an increase in aggregate demand and contributing to drawing down of budget surpluses.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is B,$2,631,204

Explanation:

The amount Wine corporation would realize from the sale of the bonds is the present value of all cash flows payable by the bond which includes the annual interest payments as well as the principal repayment in 10 years.

amount of interest payment=$3,000,000*8%=$240,000

The $240,000 would be received by investors for 10 years

The principal is the face value of $3000,000 payable in year ten

Present of face value=$3,000,000*0.3855=$1156500

present value of all interest payments=$240,000*6.1446=$1474704

Total present values=$1474704 +1156500 =$2631204

Real per capita GDP in China in 1961 was about $350, but it doubled to about $700.00 by 1979. a. What was the average annual economic growth rate in China over the 18.00 years from 1961 to 1979? (NOTE: Round this to two places past the decimal point.) % b. Per capita real GDP doubled in China again in only seven years, reaching $1400.00 by 1986.00. What was the average annual economic growth rate between 1979 and 1986.00? (NOTE: Round this to two places past the decimal point.)

Answers

Final answer:

The average annual economic growth rate in China from 1961 to 1979 was 5.01%. The average annual economic growth rate between 1979 and 1986 was 9.5%.

Explanation:

a. To find the average annual economic growth rate from 1961 to 1979, we need to calculate the growth rate based on the initial and final values. The initial value is $350 and the final value is $700. The formula to calculate the average annual growth rate is:

Growth Rate = ((Final Value / Initial Value) ^ (1 / Number of Years)) - 1

Using this formula, we get ((700 / 350) ^ (1 / 18)) - 1 = 0.0501 or 5.01%

b. For the average annual economic growth rate between 1979 and 1986, we use the same formula. The initial value is $700 and the final value is $1400. Plugging these values into the formula, we get ((1400 / 700) ^ (1 / 7)) - 1 = 0.095 or 9.5%

Saskatchewan Forestry Company purchased a timber tract for $225,000 and estimates that it will be depleted evenly over its 10-year useful life with no residual value. Prepare the journal entry that would be recorded if 10 percent of the total timber is cut and placed into inventory during the current year

Answers

Answer:

generally you need to determine the cost per unit, but in this case you are given a percentage of depletion = 10% x $225,000 = $22,500  which determines the inventory value (or depletion expense if the timber is sold) during the year.

the journal entry should be:

December 31, 20xx

Dr Timber inventory 22,500

    Cr Accumulated depletion - timber tract 22,500

Final answer:

A journal entry to record the depletion of timber at Saskatchewan Forestry Company involves debiting Depletion Expense and crediting Inventory—Timber by 10% of the initial cost of the timber tract, which amounts to $22,500 each.

Explanation:

The student's question is related to the journal entry for depletion expense in the accounting of natural resources by a company. When 10 percent of the timber is harvested from the tract purchased by Saskatchewan Forestry Company, an entry needs to be made to reflect the cost associated with the depletion of that portion of the timber tract.

Journal Entry Example:

Depletion Expense: $22,500
Inventory—Timber: $22,500

To record this journal entry: Debit Depletion Expense for the cost of the depleted timber, which is 10% of $225,000 (the cost of the timber tract), resulting in a value of $22,500. At the same time, we credit the Inventory—Timber account to reflect the addition of this timber to inventory, with the same value of $22,500.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is A,$ 22,687,200

Explanation:

The year end balance of the equity investment of Champaign Corporation at year end is the initial price paid for the investment plus share of net income in the year less Champaign Corporation's share of cash dividends paid in the year as shown below:

Initial cost of investment                           $21,600,000

share of net income($2,960,000*45%)   $ 1,332,000

Less:share of dividends($544,000*45%) ($244,800)

Year end balance of equity investment $ 22,687,200

The correct option is A.

It is important to note that dividends were deducted because it is more ike a cash out from the investment

Final answer:

The year-end balance of the equity investment in Rockville is $22,687,200, after adjusting the initial investment with Champaign's proportional share of Rockville's net income and dividends received. The correct option is a.

Explanation:

To calculate the year-end balance of the equity investment in Rockville, we need to adjust the initial investment amount for the share of net income and the dividends received. Champaign Corporation initially invested $21.6 million.

Champaign's share of Rockville's net income is 45% of $2,960,000, which equals $1,332,000. The share of cash dividends received is 45% of $544,000, which is $244,800.

The year-end balance is therefore calculated as follows:

Initial investment: $21,600,000

Share of net income: +$1,332,000

Less: Share of dividends received: -$244,800

Adding the net income share and subtracting the dividends from the initial investment, we get:

$21,600,000 + $1,332,000 - $244,800 = $22,687,200

So, the correct answer is A. $22,687,200.

Which one of the following is an advantage of having an independent central bank? Central banks may be swayed by short term considerations and avoid inflationary policies. Central bank's actions can be frequently monitored by the legislative branch. The central bank independence does not appear to come at the cost of higher output or higher employment. The countries whose central banks are more independent have lower rates of inflation. All of the following are institutional features that make a central bank independent, except when: they are swayed by short run political considerations. they are not obligated to buy newly issued government bonds. their actions are not subject to frequent interference or review. the central bankers are appointed for a longer period of time.

Answers

Answer: 1. The countries whose central banks are more independent have lower rates of inflation.

2. They are swayed by short run political considerations

Explanation:

1. Central Banks that are less independent run the risk of the government putting too much pressure on them to embark on policies that would increase inflation such as making them print excessive amounts of currency. This has been corroborated by studies that show that indeed, countries with more independent central Banks have less inflation than countries with less independent Central Banks.

In the graph attached, notice how much lower inflation is in German and the USA due to a higher degree of Central Bank independence.

2. A Central bank that is Independent does not concern itself with Politics but rather with exercising it's mandate. Many a time leading politicians in Countries with less Independent Central Banks will pressure the central bank to roll out certain policies that enable their approval to rise and increase their chances of re-election regardless of how harmful these policies will be in the long run.

Which section MOST CLEARLY supports the generalization that everyone uses the amazing substance known as glass?A)section threeB)section fourC)section fiveD)section sevenAt one time or another, we have all pressed our hands against a window and looked through a pane of glass to view the world outside (or the world inside the glass). Most of us dont give much thought to the amazing substance known as glass.The type of glass used for windowpanes is translucent. Translucent means that the glass is transparent, or clear. This allows people to see through the glass without any trouble. Technical advances let people produce glass in many colors, shapes, and sizes for a variety of uses. However, Mother Nature creates glass without any outside help.Natural glass forms in several different ways. Whether formed naturally or through manufacturing, the most common way of making glass is to superheat silica or quartzite sand to its melting point. The sand along shorelines and beaches contains these two materials. After the crushed quartzite or silica is superheated into a liquid form, it cools to form a clear, hard substance. This is glass.4Scientists consider glass an amorphous substance. This means it is not truly a solid or a liquid. It exists in a state somewhere in between. Though the molecules that make up glass have a messy arrangement, they still manage to bond together and become stiff. Glass reaches this state once it has cooled after introduction to intense heat. In fact, the opposite is also true. Introducing a piece of glass to extreme heat can return it to a liquid form.5Though this explains how glass forms, you might still be wondering how this takes place in nature. Lightning is one way that glass can form in a natural setting. When a bolt of lightning hits a sandy patch of soil, it can create natural pieces of glass called fulgurites. This occurs in much the same way as we create glass synthetically. In this case, though, the bolt of lightning creates the extreme heat needed to form glass.6Glass also forms naturally when lava bursts from a volcano and then cools. The melting lava creates tremendous amounts of heat. It would then make sense that a natural byproduct of the fiery volcanic explosions is a glass formation called obsidian. Obsidian is a beautiful, natural spectacle. Known for its shiny black, orange, gray, or green color, it was surely the earliest type of glass used by prehistoric societies. It often forms when lava spews into the sea and the water cools the lava into hard volcanic glass. Unlike translucent glass, obsidian is usually opaque. This means you cannot see through this type of glass.It was through these natural events that people discovered the amazing substance known as glass. After its discovery, people began manufacturing glass and using it for many practical and artistic purposes. Today, glass is an important part of our everyday lives. Just look through any window!
