b/ The number of years required before the capital stock exceeds $200 000.
If the straight-line method of depreciation were used in the given case, the amount of depreciation expense for the year ending December 31, 2016, would be $17,000.
What is the depreciation?Depreciation is the measurement for the decline in any assets because over time, wear, use, and tear, or devolution cause an asset's monetary value to drop.
Depreciation, or a decline in asset value, can be brought forward on by a variety of other variables, such as bad market conditions, etc.
Computation of depreciation:
According to the given case,
Equipment Cost = $90,000
Salvage Value = $5,000
Useful Life = 5 years
Depreciation per Year = (Cost of asset – Salvage Value)/5 years
Depreciation per Year = ($90,000-$5,000/5)
Depreciation per Year = $17,000
Therefore, the depreciation as per straight line method would be $17,000.

The real risk-free rate of interest, k*, is 4 percent, and it is expected to remain constant over time. Inflation is expected to be 2 percent per year for the next four years, after which time inflation is expected to remain at a constant rate of 5 percent per year. The maturity risk premium is 0% for securities with maturities of 1 year or less, 0.1% in year 2, and increases by 0.1% per year thereafter. What is the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond
Answer:
8.3%
Explanation:
Real risk - free rate of interest ( k* ) = 4%
Inflation for next four ( 4 ) years = 2% per year
Inflation rate after four years = 5%
maturity risk premium = 0.1 ( t - 1 )%
Determine Yield on a 10-year Treasury bond
t = bond's maturity
Yield = Real risk - free rate + maturity risk premium + inflation rate
Inflation rate for 10 years = ( 4 + 30 ) / 10 ) % = 3.4%
Yield = 4% + 0.1(10- 1)% + 3.4
= 4% + 0.9% + 3.4%
= 8.3%

What is the external financing needed? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
EFN = needed new long-term debt and/or external equity
Answer:
External finance needed = $2,088
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the Calculation of ratios with respect to sales, Proforma Income Statement, Calculation of Retained Earnings and Equity, and Proforma Balance Sheet.
From the Proforma Balance Sheet in the attached excel file, we have:
Total Assets = $12,610

The information below applies to a competitive firm that sells its output for $40 per unit.
• When the firm produces and sells 150 units of output, its average total cost is $24.50.
• When the firm produces and sells 151 units of output, its average total cost is $24.55.
How does the firm's marginal revenue (MR) compare to its marginal cost (MC) when it increases its output from 150 units to 151 units?
a. MR exceeds MC by $7.95.
b. MR exceeds MC by $11.05.
c. MC exceeds MR by $11.05.
d. MC exceeds MR by $13.50.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the change in total cost when output is increased by 1 unit
total cost = average cost x quantity
Marginal cost = (151 x 24.55) - (150 x 24.50) = 32.05

Oltman Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The Corporation has provided the following estimated costs for next year:
Direct materials $25,000
Direct labor $22,000
Advertising expense $15,000
Rent on factory building $13,500
Sales salaries $28,000
Depreciation on factory equipment $6,500
Indirect materials $10,000
Insurance on factory equipment $12,000
Oltman estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours and 20,000 machine-hours would be worked during the year. The predetermined overhead rate per machine-hour will be:___________
a) $1.05 per machine hour
b) $1.00 per machine hour
c) $2.10 per machine hour
d) $1.60 per machine hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.1 per machine hour
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the estimated total overhead:
Total estimated overhead= Rent on factory building + Depreciation on factory equipment + Indirect materials + Insurance on factory equipment
Total estimated overhead= 13,500 + 6,500 + 10,000 + 12,000
Total estimated overhead= $42,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 42,000 / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.1 per machine hour
The equity section of Cyril Corporation’s balance sheet shows the following. Preferred stock—6% cumulative, $25 par value, 10,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 250,000 Common stock—$8 par value, 100,000 shares issued and outstanding 800,000 Retained earnings 535,000 Total stockholders’ equity $ 1,585,000 Determine the book value per share of common stock under two separate situations. 1. No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date. 2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.
Answer:
1. No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.
Book value per share of common stock = Common Shareholder equity / Number of common stock shares
= (Total shareholders equity - Preferred stock) / Number of common stock shares
= (1,585,000 - 250,000) / 100,000
= $13.35 per share
2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.
Preferred stock = (Preferred stock + Accumulated dividends)
= 250,000 + (6% * 250,000 * 3 years)
= 295,000 shares
Book value per share of common stock = (1,585,000 - 295,000) / 100,000
= $12.90 per share

Explanation:
The total portoflio value at the time of purchase will be:
= (100 × $30) + (100 × $58)
= $3000 + $5800
= $8800
Total Portoflio Value after 1 Year will be:
= (100 × $39) + (100 × $66)
= $3900 + $6600
= $10500
Total Portoflio Value after Year 2 will be:
= (100 × $42) + (100 × $71)
= $4200 + $7100
= $11300
Portfolio Return (Year 1) will now be:
= (10500 - 8800)/8800 × 100
= 1700/8800 × 100
= 19.32%
Portfolio Return (Year 2) will be:
= (11300 - 10500)/10500 × 100
= 800/10500 × 100
= 7.62%
