Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
As both, the actual rate and actual hours exceed the standards rate and standard hours, both rate and efficiency variance will be unfavorable.
And considering that if the actual labor rate exceeds the standard labor rate and if the actual labor-hours exceed the number of hours allowed, the total labor flexible budget variance will be unfavorable. As the variance is the difference between the Standard Cost and Actual Cost. So if both Standard rate & Standard hrs. are more than actual rate & actual hrs., Actual cost will be more than standard cost i.e. the variance will be unfavorable
Option d is correct
Answer:
<u>Company's total inventory</u> 30,850
Camaras: 10,960
Camcorders: 8,850
DVDs: 11,040
Explanation:
<u>Camaras: </u>
cost: 10,960
net realizable value: 12,060
<u>Camcorders: </u>
cost: 8,850
net realizable value: 9,170
<u>DVDs: </u>
cost: 12,100
net realizable value: 11,040
<u>Company's total inventory</u>
10,960 + 8,850 + 11,040 = 30,850
We must pick between the historic cost or the net realizable value the lower. The reasoning behind this is the conservatism accounting principle to keep the assets valued at minimum.
Answer:
1.Quinlan distribution has realized a loss of
$214,480 of which $0 is recognized.
2. The shareholder received property with a basis of $321,720
Explanation:
1.
When property is been said to be distributed to shareholders the amount of dividend equal to the fair value of the said property which is $321,720 on the date of the distribution. Therefore the amount of taxable dividend is $321,720 which is before the dividends received deduction.
Therefore;
Net loss which shall not be allowed ($536,200-$321,720)
=$214,480
Quinlan distribution has realized a loss of
$214,480 which is not allowed to be recognized
2. Adjusted basis of the property distributed is $321,720
Answer:
a. ROE (r) = 13% = 0.13
EPS = $3.60
Expected dividend (D1) = 50% x $3.60 = $1.80
Plowback ratio (b) = 50% = 0.50
Cost of equity (ke) = 12% = 0.12
Growth rate = r x b
Growth rate = 0.13 x 0.50 = 0.065
Po= D1/Ke-g
Po = $1.80/0.12-0.065
Po = $1.80/0.055
Po = $32.73
P/E ratio = <u>Current market price per share</u>
Earnings per share
P/E ratio = <u>$32.73</u>
$3.60
P/E ratio = 9.09
b. ER(S) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
ER(S) = 5 + 1.2(13 - 5)
ER(S) = 5 + 9.6
ER(S) = 14.6%
Explanation:
In the first part of the question, there is need to calculate the expected dividend, which is dividend pay-our ratio of 50% multiplied by earnings per share. We also need to calculate the growth rate, which is plowback ratio multiplied by ROE. Then, we will calculate the current market price, which equals expected dividend divided by the difference between return on stock (Ke) and growth rate. Finally, the price-earnings ratio is calculated as current market price per share divided by earnings per share.
In the second part of the question, Cost of equity (return on stock) is a function of risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by market risk-premium. Market risk premium is market return minus risk-free rate.
Answer: D. U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks.
Explanation: When examining the Fed's balance sheet, in most periods, the two most important assets are U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks. The Fed's balance sheet balance sheet includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities containing a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. Of these assets the U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks are paramount.
U.S Treasury securities are such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. government viewed as having virtually no credit risk. As such, they are debt obligations of the U.S. government.
Discount loans to banks are direct short term loans provided to banks by the Fed to meet temporary shortages of liquidity caused by internal or external disruptions.
