aksik [14]

Inventory Costs plays a major role in ascertaining working capital requirements as well structuring cash flow statement.

Explanation:

In the given example,

inventory cost 40 percent

Inventory Value $400 million

Ratio of inventory cos ts to inventory value = Inventory Cost / Inventory Value .

so in the current case it will be 40% x/$400 million

Hence, Inventory Cost 160 Million

Since the cost is fairly on a higher side at 40$ it should try to reduce it which will help in improving its bottom-line.

Company should focus on offering on discounts and promotions and reduce Obsolete Stock.

It should work on restructuring and organizing warehouse costs by prioritizing inventory based on their movements.

The procurement team should order in minimum quantities and benchmark reorder point.

Zenon Inc. has the following taxable income: U.S. source income $ 1,900,000 Foreign source income 240,000 Taxable income $ 2,140

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The income tax is $81,600

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to compute the foreign tax income for Zenon Inc assuming the foreign source income does not qualify as FDII

To compute this, we employ a mathematical approach.

Mathematically,

The income paid by Zenon Inc = Foreign credit Tax limitation * Foreign source income/taxable income

We identify the parameters in the equation as follows;

Foreign tax limitation = Taxable income * tax rate

Where the tax rate for the US is 34% or simply 0.34

Foreign tax limitation = 0.34 * 2,140,000 = $727,600

Foreign source income = $240,000

Taxable income = $2,140,000

Income paid = 727,600 * 240,000/2,140,000 = $81,600

Ware Co. produces and sells motorcycle parts. On the first day of its fiscal year, Ware issued $35,000,000 of five-year, 12% bon

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Cash proceeds is $37,702,607.23

First premium amortization $214,869.64

Second premium amortization is $225,613.12

First year interest expense is $ 3,759,517.24

Explanation:

The amount of cash proceeds from the bond issue is the pv of the bond using the pv formula,=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is 10% yield to maturity divided 2 since interest is semi-annual i.e 5%

nper is 5 years multiplied by 2=10

pmt is the semi-annual interest payable by the bond i.e $35,000,000*12%*6/12=$2,100,000

fv is the face value of the bond at $35,000,000

=-pv(5%,10,2100000,35000000)

pv=$37,702,607.23

The amount of premium to be amortized in first semi-annual interest payment:

Interest expense=$$37,702,607.23*10%/2=$1,885,130.36

coupon interest=$35,000,000*12%/2=$2,100,000

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36

premium amortized=$214,869.64

The amount of premium to be amortized in second semi-annual interest payment:

interest expense=($37,702,607.23+$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36)*10%/2

=$1,874,386.88

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,874,386.88

premium amortized=$225613.12

Bond expense for the first payment= 37,702,607.23*10%/2

=$1,885,130.362

Bond expense for the first payment= 37,487,737.59 *10%/2

=$ 1,874,386.88

First year bond interest expense= 1,874,386.88+1,885,130.362

=$ 3,759,517.24
