Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $7000

Explanation:

Since there is a pro rata reinsurance agreement with a 35% retention, primary insurance contract with limits of $2,500,000, premiums of $20,000 and deductible $10,000, then the amount of premium that the primary insurance company will retain will be:

= Retention rate × Premium

= 35% × $20000

= 0.35 × $20000

= $7000

The retained earnings balance was $22,900 on January 1. Net income for the year was $18,100. If retained earnings had a credit balance of $23,800 after closing entries were made for the year, and if additional stock of $5,200 was issued during the year, what was the amount of dividends declared during the year

Answers

Answer:

$17,200

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what was the amount of dividends declared during the year

Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends = Ending retained earnings.

$22,900 + $18,100 - Dividends = $23,800

Dividends=$41,000-$23,800

Dividends = $17,200

Therefore the amount of dividends declared during the year is $17,200

During its most recent fiscal year, Dover, Inc. had total sales of $3,260,000. Contribution margin amounted to $1,530,000 and pretax income was $445,000. What amount should have been reported as variable costs in the company's contribution margin income statement for the year

Answers

Answer:

$1,730,000

Explanation:

Given that;

Total sales = $3,260,000

Contribution margin = $1,530,000

Pretax income = $445,000

We know that

Contribution margin = Total sales - variable cost

Fixing in the above values, we'll have

$1,530,000 = $3,260,000 - Variable cost

Variable cost = $3,260,000 - $1,530,000

Variable cost = $1,730,000

Answers

Answer:

Dotterel Corporation

The markup percentage for the sale of the company's product is:

= 45.71%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production and sales units = 35,000

Desired rate of return = 11.2%

Invested assets = $350,000

Desired profit = $39,200 ($350,000 * 11.2%)

Fixed factory overhead cost = $105,000

Fixed selling and administrative costs = $35,000

Total fixed costs = $140,000 ($105,000 + $35,000)

Variable direct materials cost per unit                  $4.34

Variable direct labor cost per unit                           5.18

Variable factory overhead cost per unit                0.98

Variable selling and administrative cost per unit  0.70

Total variable costs per unit                                $11.20

Total variable costs = $392,000 ($11.20 * 35,000)

Contribution margin:

Fixed costs =  $140,000

Desired profits  39,200

Total =            $179,200

Markup = 45.71% ($179,200/$392,000 * 100)

Sales revenue = $571,000

Selling price per unit = $16.31

Jennifer is saving up for the closing costs ($4250) and down payment on a home. For a better interest rate and savings on mortgage insurance, she must have a down payment of 10%. She can afford a monthly payment of $900 based on her current earnings and expenses. The amount available for the mortgage is reduced by an estimated $175 per month to cover home insurance and real estate taxes. The current nominal annual interest rate is 3% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage loan. How much of a loan can she afford

Answers

Answer:

The amount of Loan Jennifer can afford is $171,962.30.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or the amount of Loan Jennifer can afford =?

P = Monthly payment for the mortgage = Monthly amount she can afford - Estimated monthly home insurance and real estate taxes = $900 - $175 = $725

r = Monthly nominal interest rate = Annual nominal interest / 12 = 3% / 12 = 0.03 / 12 = 0.0025

n = number of months = Number of years * 12 = 30 * 12 = 360

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $725 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0025))^360) / 0.0025)

PV = $725 * 237.189381504283

PV = $171,962.30

Therefore, the amount of Loan Jennifer can afford is $171,962.30.

Assume that the risk-free rate is 3% and the required return on the market is 9%. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.9? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Required return = 14.4%

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for the required rate of return:

Risk free rate = 3%

The required return on the market = 9%

Beta value = 0.9

Use the below formula:

Required return = Risk free rate + (Market risk premimum)(Beta value)

Required return = 3% + (9% - 3%)(1.9)

Required return = 3% + 6%

Required return = 14.4%

True or false: a firm with a capital structure containing 70% retained earnings has a marginal cost of capital of $50,000. This indicates that after the first $50,000 of capital raised, retained earnings can no longer provide the 70% equity position of the firms capital structure.

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Marginal cost of capital is the total cost of debt and equity which is used to fund business operations. This denotes any additional capital raised to fund the business. If the capital structure has retained earnings of 70% and marginal cost of capital is $50,000. This means the additional cost to raise the fund will be $50,000.

Married taxpayers Otto and Ruth are both self-employed and file a joint return. Otto earns $435,200 of self-employment income and Ruth has a self-employment loss of $23,100. How much 0.9 percent Medicare tax for high-income taxpayers will Otto and Ruth have to pay with their 2020 income tax return?

Answers

Answer: $1,458.90

Explanation:

As they are filing together, the first step would be to find out the taxable income after accounting for Ruth's loss.

Total taxable income = Otto's earnings - Ruth's loss

= 435,200 - 23,100

= $412,100

There is an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on the amount that people file that is above $250,000 when they file jointly and are married..

The additional Medicare will be:

= (412,100 - 250,000) * 0.9%

= $1,458.90

A Consumer Expenditure Survey in the city of Firestorm shows that people buy only firecrackers and bandages. A Consumer Expenditure Survey in 2019 shows that the average household spent ​$44 on firecrackers and ​$12 on bandages. In​ 2019, the reference base​ year, the price of a firecracker was ​$1​, and the price of bandages was ​$3 a pack. In the current​ year, 2020, firecrackers are ​$6 each and bandages are ​$3 a pack.
Calculate the CPI in 2012 and the inflation rate in 2012.

Answers

Solution :

Base year : 2019

Expenditure on crackers : $44

Expenditure on bandages : $12

Price of a firecracker : $1

Price of bandages : ​$3 per pack

Number of crackers bought = [tex]$\frac{44}{1}$[/tex]

                                              = 44

Number of bandages bought = [tex]$\frac{12}{3}$[/tex]

                                                 = 4

Total expenditure in 2019 = $44 + $12

                                           = $56

Year 2020

Price of a firecracker = $6

Price of a bandage = $3

Expenditure on the crackers = $ 6 x 44

                                                = $ 264

Expenditure on the bandages = $ 3 x 4

                                                = $ 12

Total expenditure in 2020 = $ 264 + $ 12

                                            = $ 276

CPI in the year 2020 (base year 2019) = [tex]$\frac{276}{56}\times 100$[/tex]

                                                                 = 492.8

Inflation in 2020 (2019 base year = 100) = [tex]$\frac{492.8-100}{100 \times 100}$[/tex]

                                                                   = 0.039

                                                                   = 3.9%

So, CPI = 492.8

      Inflation rate = 3.9%
