Answer: Yes
Explanation:
It is important, when telling them about their adoption, to help them understand that they were born first—and that all children, adopted or not, are conceived and born in the same way. The birth came first, then the adoption. Waiting until adolescence to reveal a child's adoption to him or her is not recommended. “Halloween is the beginning of the holiday shopping season. That’s for women. The beginning of the holiday shopping season for men is Christmas Eve.”

Sophia just graduated from college. She just sold the furniture from her college apartment for $450 in cash. She just deposited $2,700 in graduation money into her checking account and has $7,500 saved in her savings account from working part-time. She charged gas and groceries to her credit card that she hasn't paid off yet. The total balance on her credit card is $179. Sophia has driven the same car since high school that is valued at $3,254. She doesn't have an auto loan. Her total student loan amount after graduating is $54,178. What is Sophia's net worth? (Do not include the $ sign or commas in your answer).
Answer:
Sophia's Net Worth
Sophia's net worth is:
= ($40,453).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets:
Proceeds from sale of furniture = $450
Checking account deposit = 2,700
Savings account 7,500
Car 3,254
Total assets $13,904
Liabilities:
Credit card $179
Student loan after graduating 54,178
Total liabilities $54,357
Sophia's net worth = ($40,453)
b) Sophia's net worth is in the negative because of the student loan. This implies that she is in debt. A negative net worth simply means that Sophia owes more than she owns. In other words, Sophia's liabilities exceed her assets' value.
First and Ten Corporation’s stock returns have a covariance with the market portfolio of .0415. The standard deviation of the returns on the market portfolio is 20% and the expected market risk premium is 6.7%. The company has bonds outstanding with a total market value of $55 million and a yield to maturity of 6.5%. The company also has 4.2 million shares of common stock outstanding, each selling for $35. The company’s CEO considers the firm’s current debt-equity ratio optimal. The corporate tax rate is 21% and Treasury bills currently yield 3.4%. The company is considering the purchase of additional equipment that would cost $49 million. The expected unlevered cash flows from the equipment are $16.4 million per year for five years. Purchasing the equipment will not change the risk level of the firm. Calculate the NPV of the project.
Answer:
NPV of the project = $14,906,309.99
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for calculation of the NPV of the project (in bold red color).
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used in calculating the discounting factor used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:
Cost of equity = Treasury bills current yield + (Stock returns covariance with the market portfolio / Standard deviation of the returns on the market portfolio^2) * Expected market risk premium = 3.4% + (0.0415 / 20%^2) * 6.7% = 10.35%
After tax cost of debt = Bond yield to maturity * (100% - Tax rate) = 6.5% * (100% - 21%) = 5.14%
Market value of debt = $55,000,000
Market value of equity = Shares of common stock outstanding * Market price per share = 4,200,000 * $35 = $147,000,000
Total market value = Market value of equity + Market value of debt = $147,000,000 + $55,000,000 = $202,000,000
Equity share in the market value = $147,000,000 / $202,000,000 = 72.77%
Debt share in the market value = $55,000,000 / $202,000,000 = 27.23%
WACC = (Cost of equity * Equity share in the market value) + (After tax cost of debt * Debt share in the market value) = (10.35% * 72.77%) + (5.14% * 27.23%) = 8.93%
From attached excel file, we have:
NPV of the project = $14,906,309.99

Answer:
A. Return on equity 7.5%
B. Dividend yield 3.03%
C. Earnings per share $0.22
D. Price-earnings ratio 45
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the Return on equity
First step is to calculate the Average stockholders equity using this formula
Average stockholders equity = ( Beginning stockholders equity + Ending stockholders equity)/2
Let plug in the formula
Average stockholders equity= (2,240+2000)/2
Average stockholders equity= $2,120 millions
Now let calculate the Return on equity using this formula
Return on equity=Net Income / Average stockholders equity
Let plug in the formula
Return on equity=159 / 2,120
Return on equity= 7.5%
B. Calculation to determine the Dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend yield=Dividend per share / Stock price
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield=0.30/ 9.90
Dividend yield= 3.03%
C. Calculation to determine the Earnings per share
Using this formula
Earnings per share=Net Income / Average shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per share=159/ 720
Earnings per share= $0.22
D. Calculation to determine Price-earnings ratio
Using this is formula
Price-earnings ratio=Stock price / Earnings per share
Let plug in the formula
Price-earnings ratio=9.90 / 0.22
Price-earnings ratio= 45

During Year 2, SCS recognized $2,000,000 in revenue, included in the $10,000,000 total revenue estimate.Calculate the required amortization for Year 2 (Hint: calculate using both methods, choose the greater number)
Answer:
$180,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required amortization for Year 2
(1)Using Percentage-of-revenue method
Percentage-of-revenue method=($2,000,000/$10,000,000)*$900,000
Percentage-of-revenue method= 20% *$900,000
Percentage-of-revenue method= $180,000
(2) Using Straight-line method
Straight-line method=$900,000 × 1/5 × 9/12
Straight-line method= $135,000
Therefore based on the above calculation the required amortization for Year 2 will be $180,000 using The percentage-of-revenue method reason been that the method help to produces higher amortization of the amount of $180,000.

The following information is available for the year ended December 31: Beginning raw materials inventory$12,000 Raw materials purchases 88,000 Ending raw materials inventory 11,400 Manufacturing supplies expense 800 The amount of raw materials used in production for the year is: Multiple Choice $88,600. $76,600. $89,400. $87,400.
Answer:
Direct material used= $88,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning raw materials inventory$12,000
Raw materials purchase 88,000
Ending raw materials inventory 11,400
To calculate the direct material used in production, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 12,000 + 88,000 - 11,400
Direct material used= $88,600

To be included in property, plant, and equipment, an asset must have all of the following except Group of answer choices a. the asset must be held for use. b. the asset must have an expected life of a normal operating cycle. c. the asset must be tangible in nature. d. the asset must have an expected life of more than one year. g
Answer:
b. the asset must have an expected life of a normal operating cycle.
Explanation:
A current asset can be defined as all of the assets that are being owned by a company or business entity and are expected to be converted into their cash equivalent through sales or use within a period of one year of its date on the organization's balance sheet.
Hence, to be included in property, plant, and equipment, an asset must have all of the following;
I. The asset is expected or required to be held for use
II. It must be tangible in nature.
III. It is required to have an expected life of that is typically above a year.
Joan filed her individual income tax return 4½ months after it was due. She did not request an extension of time for filing. Along with her return, Joan remitted a check for $750, which was the balance of the taxes she owed with her return. Disregarding interest, calculate the total penalties that Joan will be required to pay, assuming the failure to file was not fraudulent
Answer:
$187.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total penalties that she will be required to pay
Based on the information if she remitted a check for the amount of $750 the total penalties that she will be required to pay, if it was assumed that the failure to file was not fraudulent will be calculated as:
Total penalties=[$750*(5%*5)]
Total penalties=$750*0.25
Total penalties= $187.50
Therefore the total penalties that she will be required to pay is $187.50
In June 2015, the unemployment rate declined to 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent in May. The labor force participation rate also declined from May to June, from 62.9 percent to 62.6 percent. If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged from May to June, the unemployment rate for June 2015 would be
Answer: A. greater than 5.3 percent because the value in the numerator of the formula for the unemployment rate would increase more than the value in the denominator.
Explanation:
The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of those who are unemployed but actively seeking employment by the labor force.
= Unemployed / Labor force
If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged then that would mean that the denominator for the unemployment rate did not change while unemployment did.
The unemployment rate will therefore be greater than 5.3% because the numerator which is the unemployment figure, would have increase more than the denominator.
Blumen Textiles Corporation began April with a budget for 22,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 29,000 hours under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of April was as follows: Variable overhead $50,600 Fixed overhead 34,800 Total $85,400 The actual factory overhead was $86,400 for April. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During April, the Weaving Department had standard hours at actual production volume of 23,000 hours. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance and the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.
Answer:
A. 1300 Favorable
B. $7,200 UnFavorable
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance
First step is to calculate the Budgeted rate of variable overhead
Budgeted rate of variable overhead = $50,600/22,000
Budgeted rate of variable overhead= $2.3per hour
Second step is to calculate the Standard variable overhead for actual production
Standard variable overhead for actual production = 23,000 x $2.3
Standard variable overhead for actual production = $52,900
Now let calculate the Variable factory overhead controllable variance using this formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = Standard variable overhead - Actual variable overhead
Let plug in the formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= $52,900 - ($86,400 - 34,800)
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= 1300 Favorable
Therefore Variable factory overhead controllable variance is 1300 Favorable
B. Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance.
First step is to calculate the Predetermined fixed overhead rate using this formula
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = 34,800/29,000
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $1.20 per hour
Second step is to calculate the Fixed overhead applied
Using this formula
Fixed overhead applied = Standard hours x Standard rate
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead applied= 23,000 x $1.20
Fixed overhead applied= $27,600
Now let calculate the Fixed overhead volume variance using this formula
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead volume variance= $27,600 - 34,800
Fixed overhead volume variance= $7,200 UnFavorable
Therefore The Fixed overhead volume variance is $7,200 UnFavorable
It is argued that LIFO should not be allowed to compute net income because a. it does not match costs to revenues, especially when there is inflation in the economy. b. it overstates balance sheet inventory. c. it understates cost of goods sold when prices are rising and therefore makes US companies' results look better than foreign companies' results which can only use FIFO. d. it causes profits to be understated when prices are rising and allows a company to dodge taxes.
Answer:
d. it causes profits to be understated when prices are rising and allows a company to dodge taxes.
Explanation:
The LIFO method should not be permitted to determine the net income as in this case the profits would be understated at the time when price is increased due to this it permits the company to dodge taxes as the inventory consumed in the production process also the high inventory value would be involved in the cost of sales that represent the high cost, this result in lower profits and taxes
Hence, the option d is correct

Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $2,088,000 on March 1, $1,236,000 on June 1, and $3,090,260 on December 31. Vaughn Company borrowed $1,083,960 on March 1 on a 5-year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 9%, 5-year, $2,493,000 note payable and an 10%, 4-year, $3,319,800 note payable. Compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes.
Answer:
9.57 %
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes is shown below:
Particulars Loan Amount Interest
9 % 5 year note payable $2,493,000 ($2,493,000 × 9 %) = $224,370
10 % 4 year note payable $3,319,800 ($3,319,800 × 10 %) = $331,980
Total $5,812,800 $556,350

For each of the following characteristics, indicate whether it describes a perfectly competitive firm, a monopolistically competitive firm, both, or neither.
Characteristic Perfectly Monopolistically
Competitive Competitive
Charges a price that is the same as marginal cost.
Sells a product differentiated from those of its competitors.
Produces at the efficient scale of the firm.
Equates marginal revenue and marginal cost.
Operates with excess capacity.
Earns economic profit in the long run.
Answer:
a perfectly competitive firm
a monopolistically competitive firm
a perfectly competitive firm
Both the perfectly competitive firm and monopolistically competitive firm
a monopolistically competitive firm
Neither firms
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Firms are productive and allocative efficient and do not operate with excess capacity
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services. As a result, price is always higher than marginal cost
Profit is maximised when marginal revenue equal marginal cost
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
Grassley Corporation allocates administrative costs on the basis of staff hours. Short-run monthly usage and anticipated long-run monthly usage of staff hours for Operating Departments 1 and 2 follow. Department 1 Department 2 Total Short-run usage (hours) 40,000 60,000 100,000 Long-run usage (hours) 45,000 55,000 100,000 If Grassley uses dual-cost accounting procedures and variable administrative costs total $200,000, the amount of variable administrative cost to allocate to Department 1 would be
Answer:
$80,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the amount of variable administrative cost to allocate to Department 1 would be
Variable administrative cost to allocate to Department 1=(40,000 ÷100,000) x $200,000
Variable administrative cost to allocate to Department 1=0.4×$200,000
Variable administrative cost to allocate to Department 1= $80,000
Therefore The Variable administrative cost to allocate to Department 1 would be $80,000
Marshall Welding Company has two service departments (Cafeteria and Human Resources) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The number of employees in each department follows. Cafeteria 20 Human Resources 30 Machining 100 Assembly 150 Marshall Welding uses the step-down method of cost allocation and allocates cost on the basis of employees. Human Resources cost amounts to $1,200,000, and the department provides more service to the firm than Cafeteria. How much Human Resources cost would be allocated to Cafeteria
Answer: $88,889
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the cost of Human Resources that would be allocated to Cafeteria will be calculated thus:
Number of employees (Human Resources to departments)
= 20 + 100 + 150
= 270 employees
The Human Resources cost would be allocated to Cafeteria will be:
= $1,200,000 / 270 x 20
= $88,889
Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $205,900, $265,100, and $78,400, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the estimated annual usage are number of setups 2,900, machine hours 24,100, and number of inspections 1,600. Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Answer:
Overhead cost per set-up =$71
Overhead cost per machine hour =$11
Overhead cost per inspection=$49
Explanation:
Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.
Activity rate is calculated as:
Activity cost for the period / Total cost drivers for the period
So, we can apply this formula as follows:
Overhead cost per set-up = $205,900/2,900 set-ups=$71
Overhead cost per machine hour = $265,100/24,100 hours=$11
Overhead cost per inspection = $78,400/1,600 inspection=$49
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing.
For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is_________and __________ . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $7,200. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 300 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $18.
Answer:
Non rival and non excludable
Explanation:
if the visual appearance is classified as a public good, then it is non-rival and non excludable.
In economics, a public good is described with these two characteristics. such goods are non rivalrous and also without excludability.
if mr A is using such a good, it does not prevent mr B from using it also. Also Mr A cannot exclude Mr B from using it
the benefit of the beautification initiative = $18*300
= 5400

Tim, a single taxpayer, operates a business as a single-member LLC. In 2020, his LLC reports business income of $382,000 and business deductions of $668,500, resulting in a loss of $286,500. What are the implications of this business loss
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First, it should be noted that a threshold limit of $250,000 applies to the question according to IRS since Tim is a single taxpayer.
Therefore, the excess business loss will be:
= $286,500 - $250,000
= $36500
Therefore, Tim can use $250000 out of the loss of $286,500 to offset the non business income. Then, the excess business loss of $36500 will be treated as part of the NOL carryforward for Tim.
