Answer: a. $120,000
b. $6,000
c. Yes
Explanation:
a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.
If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.
That amount would be,
= $60,000 * 2
= $120,000
b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.
The amount saved therefore is,
= 120,000 * 5%
= $6,000
By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.
c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.
As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.
Answer:
1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized.
2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized.
3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This should be expensed.
5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized.
4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed.
Explanation:
1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized. This is because repainting is a repair that will restore the physical structure of the office building and significantly improve it. Since it is a capital improvement cost, it should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets.
2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets since it is a capital expenditure that significantly added to the structure of the office building.
3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This falls under repair and should be expensed.
4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed. Cost of locks and keys are ordinary expenses that do not improve the physical structure of the production building.
5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized. It is a tangible improvement to the fleets of cars and this kind of costs fall under capital expenditures.
Answer:
cost of goods sold = $580
Explanation:
The cost of the goods sold means the cost price of the total sales volume. As the company uses FIFO (First-in, First-out) method and also uses the perpetual inventory system, the cost of goods sold =
Cost of goods sold =
20 units × $19 = $380 (The price is from November 1)
10 units × $20 = $200 (The price is from November 10)
The total cost of goods sold (30 units) = $580
Answer:
A Firm
The firm's WACC is:
= 12.16%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Common Bonds
Stock
Outstanding shares/bonds 2,000,000 2,000
Market price per unit $2 $1,200
Total market value $4,000,000 $2,400,000
Total value of debt and equity = $6,400,000
Weight 62.5% 37.5% ($2,400/$6,400*100)
Cost of bonds (coupon rate) = 10%
Tax rate = 34%
Firm's beta = 1.5
Risk-free rate = 5%
Market risk premium = 7%
After-tax cost of bonds = 6.6% (1 - 0.34) * 10%
Cost of common stock =
Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
= 5% + 1.5 x (7%)
= 5% + 10.5%
= 15.5%
WACC = 15.5% * 62.5% + 6.6% * 37.5%
= 0.096875 + 0.02475
= 0.1216
= 12.16%
Answer: $400,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, Lisa's recognized gain or loss will be calculated as the difference between the amount that's realized and the adjusted basis. This will be:
Recognized gain will be:
= Amount realized - Adjusted basis
= $900,000 - $500,000
= $400,000
There's a recognized gain of $400,000
