Nichols Enterprises has an investment in 30,500 bonds of Elliott Electronics that Nichols accounts for as a security available-f

or-sale. Elliott bonds are publicly traded, and The Wall Street Journal quotes a price for those bonds of $14 per bond, but Nichols believes the market has not appreciated the full value of the Elliott bonds and that a more accurate price is $18 per bond. Nichols should carry the Elliott investment on its balance sheet at:a. $442,000, the midpoint of Nichols' range of reasonably likely valuations of Elliott.b. $468,000c. $416,000d. Either $416,000 or $468,000 as either are defensible valuations.

Answer:

30,500 bonds x $14 per bond = $427,000

Explanation:

Nicols Enterprises must carry the Elliot investment on its balance sheet using the fair market value of the stocks (value given by the stock market).

The reliability principle states that only transactions that can be proven have to be recorded. So how can Nichols prove that Elliott's stock is worth $18, or maybe $1,000 or even $1 million. They can´t prove any of that, that is why they have to use the fair market value.

A monopolistic competitive firm is currently charging a price of $10 and producing 12,000 units/month. It faces monthly fixed co
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases

Explanation:

The firm's income statement:

total sales revenue =            $120,000

minus total variable costs = ($72,000)

<u>minus total fixed costs =       ($15,000)  </u>

net profit =                             $33,000

The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price =  average total cost.

In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit

Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:

  1. selling price will decrease
  2. output will decrease

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of machine =     $16,000

Residual value =             1,000

Depreciable amount $15,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Annual depreciation expense/rate:

A. Straight-line method = $3,000 ($15,000/5)

B. Unit of production method = $1.50 per unit ($15,000/10,000)

Year 1 = $3,600 (2,400 * $1.50)

Year 2 = $3,450 (2,300 * $1.50)

Year 3 = $3,300 (2,200 * $1.50)

Year 4 = $3,150 (2,100 * $1.50)

Year 5 = $1,500 (1,000 * $1.50)

C. Double-declining balance method:

Straight-line method rate = 20% (100/5)

Double-declining rate = 40% (20% * 2)

Year 1 = $6,400 ($16,000 * 40%) Balance $9,600

Year 2 = $3,840 ($9,600 * 40%) Balance $5,760

Year 3 = $2,304 ($5,760 * 40%) Balance $3,456

Year 4 = $1,382 ($3,456 * 40%) Balance $2,074

Year 5 = $1,074 ($2,078 - $1,000) Balance $1,000

Romano Corporation has three operating divisions and requires a 12% return on all investments. Selected information is presented
REY [17]

Answer:

<u>DIVISION X</u>

Revenues = $1006000

Operating income = $105600

Operating assets = $419800

Margin = (Income*100/Revenue) = $105600*100/$1006000 = 10.50%

Turnover = (Turnover/Assets) = $1006000/$419800 = 2.4 times

ROI = (income*100/assets) = 105600*100/419800 = 25.15%

Residual Income = (105600-419800*12%) = $55224

<u>DIVISION Y</u>

Revenues = $298200*1 = $298200

Operating income = $298200*14% = $41748

Operating assets = $298200

Margin = 14%

Turnover = 1 times

ROI = (income*100/assets) = $41748*100/$298200 = 14%

Residual Income = (41748-298200*12%) = $5964

<u>DIVISION Z</u>

Revenues = $635083.33 * 3 = $1905250

Operating income = $104900

Operating assets = (104900-28690)*100/12 = $635083.33

Margin =  (Income*100/Revenue) = $104900*100/$1905250 = 5.51%

Turnover = 3 times

ROI = (income*100/assets = 5.51% * 3 = 16.53%

Residual Income = $28690

A delivery company is considering adding another vehicle to its delivery fleet; each vehicle is rented for $100 per day. Assume
tangare [24]

Answer:

a. What is the MRP?

marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit

MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150

marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.

b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?

MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)

MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.

c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?

MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75

MRC = $100

The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
