An employee of JHT Holdings, Inc., a private trucking company, was responsible for resolving roadway accident claims under $25,0

00. The employee created fake accident claims and wrote settlement checks of between $5,000 and $25,000 to friends or acquaintances acting as phony "victims." One friend recruited subordinates at his place of work to cash some of the checks. Beyond this, the JHT employee also recruited lawyers, whom he paid to represent both the trucking company and the fake victims in the bogus accident settlements. When the lawyers cashed the checks, they allegedly split the money with the corrupt JHT employee. This fraud went undetected for two years.
Answer the following True or False questions concerning the fraud.

a. Frauds that are perpetrated with multiple parties in different positions of control make detecting fraud more difficult.
b. Claims should be authorized and verified before payment is made.
c. The employee made sure each claim had a phony "victim."
d. Corrupt lawyers were brought into the fraud to act as attorneys for the claimants.

The beginning inventory was 300 units at a cost of $10 per unit. Goods available for sale during the year were 1,300 units at a
Ugo [173]

Answer:

a. The number of units purchased in October = 400

The cost per unit = $12

b-1. Cost of goods sold = $7,950

Ending inventory = $6,450

b-2. Cost of goods sold = $8,650

Ending inventory = $5,750

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory    300 units  at $10 per unit = $3,000

May purchases            600 units at $11 per unit =     6,600

October purchases     400 units at $12 per unit =    4,800

Goods available        1,300 units                             $14,400

Ending inventory        550 units

Goods sold                 750 units

a. The number of units purchased in October = 400 (1,300 - 300 - 600)

The cost per unit = $12 ($4,800/400)

b-1. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO method:

Cost of goods sold:

300 units  at $10 per unit = $3,000

450 units at $11 per unit =     4,950  $7,950

Ending inventory = $6,450 ($14,400 - $7,950)

b-2. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using LIFO method:

Cost of goods sold:

350 units at $11 per unit =     3,850

400 units at $12 per unit =    4,800

Total Cost of goods sold = $8,650

Ending inventory = $5,750 ($14,400 - $8,650)

An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). C
Nitella [24]

Answer:

(a) The cash flows is $59,040.

(b) The cash flows is $71,040.

Explanation:

From the  Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:

Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%

Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate =  $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400

Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600

We can now proceed as follows:

(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.

(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.

National Home Rentals has a beta of 1.06, a stock price of $17, and recently paid an annual dividend of $.92 a share. The divide
ANEK [815]

Answer:

9.6845%

Explanation:

Market risk premium = Market return - Risk free rate

                             7.3 = 11.2 - Risk free rate

Risk free rate = 3.9%

(1) Use CAPM:

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

                        = 3.9% + 1.06(7.3)

                        = 11.638%

(2) Use DDM :

Stock price = [Latest dividend × (1 + dividend growth rate)] ÷ (Cost of equity-dividend growth rate)

$17 = [0.92 (1 + 0.022)] ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.022)

Cost of equity = 7.731%

Cost of equity = average value from using DDM and CAPM

Cost of equity = 0.5 (7.731 + 11.638)

                        = 9.6845%

Assume that demand for bottled water is relatively price elastic. An increase in supply of bottled water will result in which of
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

3 then 1

Explanation:

Supply is said to be increased when the quantity supplied expands but the price and quantity demanded remains unchanged. As quantity supplied has increased whereas the quantity demanded is what it was before this change, there is first a surplus of bottled water in the market. This surplus will have a downward pressure on price, reducing the quantity supplied a bit and, as the law of demand suggests ,the quantity demanded will increase. Given that the demand is relatively price elastic, the change in quantity demanded will be greater than the change in price. Therefore the revenue will increase.
