Wheeler Company issued 5,000 shares of its $5 par value common stock having a fair value of $25 per share and 7,500 shares of it

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Option (c) $141,818

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of common stocks issued = 5,000

Value of common stock = $25 par value

Number of preferred stocks issued = 7,500

Value of preferred stock = $20 par value

Lump sum value of total shares issued = $260,000

Now,

Fair value of the preferred stocks = 7,500 × $20

= $150,000

Fair value of the common stocks = 5,000 × $25

= $125,000

Thus,

Total value of the stocks issued = $150,000 + $125,000

= $275,000

Therefore,

Proceeds allocated to the preferred stock

= Lump sum value × [ Fair value of the preferred stocks ÷ value of the stocks ]

= $260,000 × [ $150,000 ÷ $275,000 ]

= $141,818.18 ≈ $141,818

Hence,

Option (c) $141,818

On Monday morning you sell one June T-bond futures contract at 97:27, that is, for $97,843.75. The contract's face value is $100

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Please find the detailed answer as follows

Explanation:

The case is pretty simple, and I’ll to be simple in explanation below:

Facts:

--Transfer price per unit should be atleast equal to the relevant cost per unit.

--Relevant cost per unit = Variable cost per unit + Contribution margin lost + Avoidable fixed cost.

--Since it is stated that fixed cost wont be affected and that there is idle capacity available, there wont be any ‘Contribution margin lost’ on outside sale AND ‘avoidable fixed cost.

--If Division A transfers, it would transfer at the relevant cost of $ 19 per unit, which is equal to the variable cost per unit.

--If Division A didn’t transfer, Division B will buy from outside at rate of $ 24 per unit.

Hence, Division B will purchase $ 24 per unit when it could get from Division A at $ 19.

Thereby, Division will be paying $ 5 per unit extra on 16100 units.

Division B and hence, the company as a whole will be WORSE by $ 80,500

[16100 units x $ 5 per unit]

Correct Answer = Option #3: Worse off by $ 80,500 each period.

The same is illustrated as attached image.
