Answer: WACC remains constant as leverage increases.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, if we assume that the effect of adding debt to firm's capital structure is exactly balanced by an increase in the cost of equity as more debt is added, what is the effect of increased debt usage on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
a. WACC first increases, then decreases as leverage increases.
b. WACC remains constant as leverage increases.
c. WACC increases continuously as leverage increases.
d. WACC decreases continually as leverage increases.
In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, the capital structure is not relevant as the way a company finances it operations does not really matter.
For the capital markets, they will be perfectly competitive and there will be no taxes, bankruptcy costs or transactions cost and investors all have the same expectations. The weighted average cost if capital will be thesame even though leverage increases.

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 5.4 pounds $ 3.00 per pound $ 16.20 Direct labor 0.4 hours $ 6.00 per hour $ 2.40 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. Ten thousand four hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
b. The company produced only 1,040 units, using 9,360 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)
c. Five hundred and sixteen hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,192.
Required: Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 5.4 pounds $ 3.00 per pound.
10,400 pounds of material was purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
The company produced only 1,040 units, using 9,360 pounds of material.
To calculate the direct material price and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.9)*10,400
Direct material price variance= $1,040 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 5.4*1,040= 5,616
Direct material quantity variance= (5,616 - 9,360)*3
Direct material quantity variance= $11,232 unfavorable
Outline the steps that you would take to ensure a successful conversion from the existing call center system to the new EHR-compatible system. Defend your response. Who should be involved in the conversion planning and implementation
Answer:
I. The steps to be taken are:
Scoping the project: Every project must have a scope. That is a scope of what needs to be achieved. Engaging a conversion expert: One must look out for someone experienced and whose prices are affordable. It's best to seek out references before engaging a conversation specialist and if possible, background checks done as he or she will be handling very sensitive data.Execution of the Project: Usually, the first version of the project will have some bugs which will necessitate upgrades and updates. These updates and upgrades are part of the process.Collaborating with the Conversion Specialist: During projects of this nature, one will need to work with other professionals outside of ones normal workforce. This human to human interaction may look simple but is critical as the specialist cannot do his or her job if they are not guided by someone internal who knows the process very well.Testing, Validating, and IteratingAfter the old records have been installed onto the new EHR system, it will be time to see if it really works. At this stage, debugging is very frequent. What works will be noted and what doesn't is fixed. Then the system is tested all over again.
6. Ensure that Import and Extraction work as planned.
Extraction and Importation are key features of an efficient EHR system. Data needs to be imported into the database, and reports/ information need to be extracted at one point or the other.
7. Tidying up Work Flow
The EHR is built to ease the administration of patients. If there are any errors or inadequacies, it will be highlighted at this stage. The conversion specialist will be available to ensure that any correction in this regard is effected.
8. Launch: This simply means going live with the new system.
II Those who will be responsible for the conversion planning and implementation are:
1. Internal Staff. Depending on the organisation, Heads of teams and key members of staff whose opinions are valued and who understand the system and the big picture (in terms of what the strategic objective of the new system) will be on the conversion, planning and implementation team.
2. Conversion Specialist will also be required. This person most likely will be a third party and is very crucial to the project.
Cheers!
Suppose that M = 300, P = 100, and Y = 6. Then the velocity of circulation equals Select one: a. 2.00. b. 3.00. c. 50 d. 0.50. e. 0.02.
Answer:
a. 2.00.
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the velocity of circulation are shown below:
According to the quantity money theory
M = Total money
V = Velocity
P = Price level
Y = Volume of goods and services
As we know that
Total amount of money in the economy × velocity = Price level × volume of goods and services
300 × velocity = 100 × 6
300 × velocity = 600
So, the velocity is
= 600 ÷ 300
= 2
Hence, the first option is correct

State Street Beverage Company issues $805,000 of 9%, 10-year bonds on March 31, 2017. The bonds pay interest on March 31 and September 30. Which of the following statements is true?
A) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a premium.
B) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a discount.
C) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at par.
D) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue above par.
Answer:
Option (B) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a discount
Explanation:
Interest rate risk is defined as the risk changing which, interest rates will affect bond prices. When current interest rates are greater than a bond's coupon rate, the bond will be sold below its face value at a discount. When interest rates are less than the coupon rate, the bond can be sold at a premium--higher than the face value.
1. Below are some of the components for Prufrock Corp. income statement for the year ending December 31t, 2016. Use the values to fill in the income statement and calculate the net income. All values are given in millions of dollars and there may be more lines provided than needed.
Sales $70,000
Tax Rate = 34%
Depreciation = $16,000
Interest Paid = $450
Cost of Goods Sold $35,000
Income Statement
Earnings Before Interest and taxes (EBIT)
Taxable Income (EBT)
Net Income
2. Prufrock Corp. has 4,000 million shares outstanding. If they do not reinvest any of their earnings what will be the dividend per share paid out this year?
3. Assume that the dividend from Part B will be paid out one year from today. After the initial dividend from part B is paid, the dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year. Investors require a 10% return on their investment, what is the current share price?
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of Earnings Before Interest and taxes, Taxable income and Net income is shown below:-
Earnings Before Interest = Revenue from sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation
= $70,000 - $35,000 - $16,000
= $19,000
Taxable Income = Earnings Before Interest - Interest paid
= $19,000 - $450
= $18,550
Net Income = Taxable Income - Taxes
= $18,550 - ($18,550 × 34%)
= $18,550 - $6,307
= $12,243
2. The computation of dividend per share is shown below:-
Dividend per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding
= $12,243 ÷ 4,000 million
= $3.06
3. The computation of current share price is shown below:-
Current share price = Current dividend ÷ (Expected return - Growth rate)
= $3.06 ÷ (10% - 4%)
= $3.06 ÷ 6%
= $51
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
Is it reasonable to expect that managers can measure their social and environmental performance on the same level as they measure their financial performance with a triple bottom line?
Answer:
The correct answer is: No, it is not reasonable to expect that managers can measure their social and environmental performance on the same level as they measure their financial performance.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept known as triple bottom line refers exactly to the measuring of the the financial, social and environemental performances from part of an organization. However, it is not posible to measure them in the same way, due to the fact that they are very different terms with different factors. Therefore that in order to measure one of them there will be an unique way of doing it that can not be copy in order to measure the other. That is why if the organization want to measure the financial performance it will look into the numbers but with the social or environmental performance it can not do that.
Oriole Corporation reported the following for 2020: net sales $1,235,200, cost of goods sold $721,800, selling and administrative expenses $338,600, and an unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale debt securities $15,700.
Required:
Prepare a statement of comprehensive income, using (a) the one statement format, and (b) the two statement format. (Ignore income taxes and EPS).
Answer:
In both formats, net income is equal to $190,500
Explanation:
(a) the one statement format
The single step statement format is an income statement format that shows only one category of income and only one category of expenses. From the question, this can be prepared as follow:
Income = Net sales + unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale debt securities = $1,235,200 + $15,700 = $1,250,900
Expenses = Cost of goods sold + Selling and administrative expenses = $721,800 + $338,600 = $1,060,400
Oriole Corporation
Statement of comprehensive income
Details Amount ($)
Income 1,250,900
Expenses 1,060,400
Net income 190,500
(b) the two statement format.
The two step statement format is an income statement format that uses two category to separate income accounts based on their function by showing gross profit and other income separately to arrive operating income, and also show selling and administrative expenses on its own. This can be prepared as follows:
Oriole Corporation
Statement of comprehensive income
Details Amount ($)
Net sales 1,235,200
Cost of goods sold (721,800)
Gross profit 513,400
Other income:

Chobani's equipment runs for 10 hours and must be idle for 4 hours while being cleaned. Its plants operate day and night all week long. What are the implications for the company's purchasing, inventory control, scheduling and quality control functions. Your answer should be detailed and well thought out.
Answer:
For the company's purchasing ;leasing the machine for the active period i.e 10 hours a day would be cheaper because the cost of cleaning and maintenance would be eliminated
For the company's inventory control; if the company leases the equipment that would reduce it's setup cost keeping its inventory low
For the company's scheduling; scheduling deals with completing a job within a given time and it is very essential to utilize the productive time
For the company's quality control functions; the company has to ensure that in as much as it has to meet its production schedule the quality of the products should be paramount
Explanation:
Running time = 10 hours. Idle time = 4 hours
The implications of the machine:
For the company's purchasing ; since the equipment has to be used everyday and after the 10 hours it will run, it has to be ideal for 4 hours for it to be cleaned and maintained every day. therefore the purchasing department of the company will have to sort for an alternative equipment which would be less expensive and would have less idle time during cleaning and maintenance. but if this alternative is more expensive, then leasing the machine for the active period i.e 10 hours a day would be cheaper because the cost of cleaning and maintenance would be eliminated
For the company's inventory control : inventory for every company is the stock of the company that remains unsold and every company should aim to keep this as low as possible and one way is by reducing setup costs and safety cost. if the company leases the equipment that would reduce it's setup cost keeping its inventory low
For the company's scheduling : scheduling deals with completing a job within a given time and it is very essential to utilize the productive time i.e 10 hours of the equipment in order to avoid unwanted direct and indirect cost.
For the company's quality control functions: As the equipment runs for 10 hours day and night in other to meet up with the production and scheduling the quality of the products might be adversely affected hence the company has to ensure that in as much as it has to meet its production schedule the quality of the products should be paramount
In 2014, Elbert Corporation had net cash provided by operating activities of 531,000; net cash used by investing activities of 963,000; and net cash provided by financing activities of 585,000. At January 1, 2014, the cash balance was 333,000. Compute the December 31 2014, cash.
Answer:
December 31 2014, cash = $486,000

To solve this, we will classify the particulars as either income or expenditure,and find the difference. This is shown below:
Particulars income($) expenditure($)
operating activities 531,000 -
investing activities - 963,000
financing activities 585,000 -
January 1 cash balance 333,000 -
Total 1,449,000 963,000
∴ net cash available on December 31 2014 = Total income - expenditure
= 1,449,000 - 963,000 = $486,000
g You currently hold an inflation-indexed bond, which pays out real coupons of 10% per year, starting one year from now. The bond has a real face value of $600, and will mature three years from today. If inflation over the next year will be 2% per year for the next three years, what will be the total nominal payment you will receive at the date of maturity
Answer:
$618 dollars
Explanation:
The beginning face value will be our starting position: $600
Then, we have a 2 percent increase over the next three years
this makes for a principal at maturity of:
600 x (1 + 2% x 3 years ) = $618
This makes each coupon return in coins to also increase over time as, they are calcualted based on the adjusted face vale. This method iguarantee the 10% return on the bond regardless of inflation during the period.

Business Calculators Inc. will pay an annual dividend of $2.25 per share next year. The company just announced that future dividends will be increasing by 0.75 percent annually. How much are you willing to pay for one share of this stock if you require a rate of return of 12.25 percent?
Answer: $19.57
Explanation:
You should be willing to pay for the what the stock is valued at the moment and you can use the Gordon Growth Model to value this stock.
Formula is,
Vs = D1/ Re - g
Vs = Value of stock
D1 = the next dividend
Re = Required Return
g = growth rate
Value of stock is,
= 2.25 / ( 12.25% - 0.75%)
= $19.565
= $19.57
Exhibit 9-1 Refer to Exhibit 9-1. If the economy is self-regulating, the price level is:_________.
a) lower in short-run equilibrium than in long-run equilibrium.
b) lower in long-run equilibrium than in short-run equilibrium.
c) higher in long-run equilibrium than in short-run equilibrium.
d) lower when the economy is in a recessionary gap than when it is in long-run equilibrium.
e) a and c
Answer: b) lower in long-run equilibrium than in short-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
A self regulating economy will try to move to the long run Equilibrium.
From the graph attached you will notice that the Price Level at the point where the Long Run Curve intersects with the Aggregate Demand curve is lower than the point where the Short Run Supply curve intersects with the same Aggregate Supply.
This means that Prices in the long term at equilibrium will be less than prices in the short term at Equilibrium should the Economy be a self regulating type that will move towards a long term Equilibrium.
When Sandra and Charles Givens were divorced, the court ordered a division of property and awarded Sandra $65,000. The award was a judgment against Charles, who failed to pay it. Sandra asked the court to find Charles in contempt. Their lawyers had a conference with the judge, and they agreed that Charles would pay $2500 immediately and $300 per month until the judgment was paid in full. Charles alleged that the new payment schedule was a binding contract, because Sandra had accepted his offer of payments. Was it a contract
Answer:
Yes, it is a binding contract.
Explanation:
A contract is a legal binding agreement between two or more parties at the court of law. The agreement could be in terms of money, services, right or duties between the parties involved.
Since a consent has been reached between the two parties before the judge, Charles would pay the sum in the stipulated manner. The acceptance of the offer of payment by Sandra made it a binding contract for Charles, so he is bound by this service until he pays the full amount to Sandra.
The acid-test ratio Group of answer choices is a quick calculation of an approximation of the current ratio. does not include all current liabilities in the calculation. does not include inventory as part of the numerator. does include prepaid expenses as part of the numerator.
Answer:
does not include inventory as part of the numerator
Explanation:
The acid test ratio is somewhat similar to the current ratio. Both ratios are called liquidity ratio in which the short term assets are converted into cash to pay its short term liabilities. But the only difference in these two is
Current ratio includes current assets and current liabilities
While on the other hand, the acid test ratio or quick ratio include quick asset and current liabilities
Quick asset = Total Current assets - inventory - all other current assets
As inventory takes more time to convert into cash
A business will construct its financial statements in a particular order because they are interrelated. This means that items formulated in an earlier statement feed into the subsequent statements, and changes to items on one financial statement can have compounding effects on the overall financial position of a company. Which of the following is one reason the statement of owner's equity is prepared after the income statement?
a. Retained earnings are computed on the income statement.
b. Net income is the beginning retained earnings amount.
c. Retained earnings is really an asset.
d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Answer: d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Explanation:
In the statement of owner's equity, Retained earnings are calculated and it is done with the Net Income. This is why when the net income is calculated from the Income Statement it is transfered to the SOE and used to calculate Retained Earnings.
Retained Earnings are calculated by the formula,
Ending Retained = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income (losses) - Dividends
Net income is added to (or subtracted from if it is a Net loss) the Opening Retained earnings balance. Net dividends are also subtracted.
Among the 1,000 policyholders of the auto insurance company, 400 are classified as low-risk drivers and 600 are classified as high-risk drivers. In each month, the probability of zero accidents for high-risk drivers is 0.80 and the probability of zero accidents for low-risk drivers is 0.90. Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policy
Answer:
50,400
Explanation:
We are required to
Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policyholders in one year:
X = case of 0 accident
E[X] = 400 x P(X | low risk) + 600 x P (X | high risk)
= (400 x 0.9) + (600 x 0.8)
= 840
Expected bonus = 840 x 5 dollars x 12 months
= 50400
The residents of Alaska and people throughout the world were outraged when the Exxon Valdez crashed into a shoal and dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. People were upset with Exxon's response to the disaster. The company was slow to admit its mistake and even slower to implement cleanup activities. Exxon was criticized for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society. In short, Exxon did not demonstrate:___________.
1. Social responsibility
2. Value conciousness
3. Gray marketing
4. Profit responsibility
5. Transactional marketing
Answer:
1. Social responsibility.
Explanation:
Social responsibility is an ethical principle or business practice that supports, that individuals or business entities are required to fulfil civic duties, such as welfare, charity, etc. for the benefit of the society at large.
Simply stated, it incorporates sustainable societal development into business models. A company's social responsibility involves the process of creating a balance between economic growth, societal welfare and largely it's environment.
In this scenario, Exxon was slow to own up to it's error and even slower in implementing cleanup activities of the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Sequel to this, it was criticized by the residents of Alaska and others around the world for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society.
Hence, Exxon did not demonstrate social responsibility.

On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $37,000
Installation= $4,000
Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.
First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.
Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000
Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000
Annual depreciation= $4,620
The demand curve for the new computer game, Rock and Roll Trivia, is given as follows: Q = 200 - 5P - .1Pc - .5Pd + .2A - I Where P is the price of the game, Pc is the price of a computer, Pd is the price of a diskette, A is the level of advertising, and Q is the level of income. Suppose P = 10, Pc = 100, Pd = 2, A = 5, and I = 50. What is the price elasticity of demand?
Answer:
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Explanation:
Given,
P=10, Pc=100, Pd=2, A=5, and I=50.
So,
Q=200-5(10)-.1(100)-.5(2)+.2(5)-(50).
Q=90 (level of income)
Computation:
Given , I = 50, Q = 90.
ΔQ / ΔI = -1
Income elasticity of demand = (ΔQ / ΔI) x (I / Q)
Income elasticity of demand = - 1 x (50 / 90)
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Fast-food restaurants like McDonald's are replacing cashiers with touch-screen ordering kiosks. Currently the MPL for an additional cashier is 48 customers served per hour and the MPK for an additional kiosk is 32 customers served per hour. A cashier can be hired for wage of $15; a kiosk rents for $12.
(a) Is Whataburger using the optimal cost-minimizing mix of cashiers and kiosks? Explain.
(b) What can Whataburger do to improve its mix of inputs – hire more cashiers or fewer? Rent more kiosks or fewer?
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
The Atlanta Company has assembled the following data pertaining to certain costs that cannot be easily identified as either fixed or variable. Atlanta Company has heard about a method of measuring cost functions called the high-low method and has decided to use it in this situation. Cost Hours $24,000 5,000 $26,100 6,300 $34,700 7,900 $48,000 11,000 $38,300 9,250 What is the cost function
Answer:
Total cost= 4,000 + 4x
x= hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost Hours
$24,000 5,000
$26,100 6,300
$34,700 7,900
$48,000 11,000
$38,300 9,250
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed cost. We will use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (48,000 - 24,000) / (11,000 - 5,000)
Variable cost per unit= $4 per unit
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 48,000 - (4*11,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 24,000 - (4*5,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000
Now, we can express the cost formula:
Total cost= 4,000 + 4x
x= hours
