During the past year, Julia McGill planted a new vineyard on 150 acres of land that she leases for $30,920 a year. She has asked you, as her accountant, to assist her in determining the value of her vineyard operation. The vineyard will bear no grapes for the first 5 years (1–5). In the next 5 years (6–10), Julia estimates that the vines will bear grapes that can be sold for $64,360 each year. For the next 20 years (11–30), she expects the harvest will provide annual revenues of $110,130. But during the last 10 years (31–40) of the vineyard’s life, she estimates that revenues will decline to $75,170 per year. During the first 5 years, the annual cost of pruning, fertilizing, and caring for the vineyard is estimated at $8,830; during the years of production, 6–40, these costs will rise to $12,050 per year. The relevant market rate of interest for the entire period is 4%. Assume that all receipts and payments are made at the end of each year. Button has offered to buy Julia’s vineyard business by assuming the 40-year lease. On the basis of the current value of the business, what is the minimum price Julia should accept? (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 458,581.)

Minimum price at which Julia should accept the business?

4. Graph the budget constraints described in each of these situations and explain whether you think there will be a unique utility maximizing bundle if preferences are rational, strictly convex, and strongly monotone. Be sure to show your calculations!

(a) Suppose you are at a small chocolate shop. There are milk chocolate truffles (x) and dark chocolate truffles (y). You have $20 to spend
and both truffles are $2 each. Graph the budget constraint on the graph below.

B)A stressed out student trying to decide where to take yoga classes.
They have $36 to spend on yoga classes this month. At SuperStrength yoga studio (x), the first 4 yoga classes are free. After that, SuperStrength yoga classes are $12 each. At the university gym (y), yoga classes come out to be about $3 per yoga class. Graph the budget constraint on the graph below.

(c) Let the price of a new magic lotion (x) be $4 per ounce for the first 8 1/3 ounces, and then $0.16 per ounce after that. The corresponding face wash (y) has a flat price of $1 per ounce. The consumer has $40 to spend on their new skincare regimen. Graph their budget constraint below.

(d) If the people in parts a-c all had the utility function

u(x, y) = √xy

do you expect there to be a unique utility maximizing bundle for parts
a-c, respectively? Explain.

CPI sells computer peripherals. At December 31, year 1, CPI’s inventory amounted to $550,000. During the first week in January, year 2, the company made only one purchase and one sale. These transactions were as follows.

CPI has a full-time accountant and a computer-based accounting system. It records sales at the gross sales price and purchases at net cost and maintains subsidiary ledgers for accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable.

Required:

b. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions, assuming that CPI uses a perpetual inventory system.

c. Compute the balance in the Inventory account at the close of business on January 6.

d. Prepare journal entries to record the two transactions, assuming that CPI uses a periodic inventory system.

e. Compute the cost of goods sold for the first week of January assuming use of the periodic system. (Use your answer to part c as the ending inventory.)

g. Compute the gross profit margin on the January 6 sales transaction.

The Ocean City water park is considering the purchase of a new log flume ride. The cost to

purchase the equipment is $5,000,000, and it will cost an additional $380,000 to have it installed. The equipment has an expected life of six years, and it will be depreciated using a MACRS 7-year class life. Management expects to run about 150 rides per day, with each ride averaging 25 riders. The season will last for 120 days per year. In the first year the ticket price per rider is expected to be $5.25, and it will be increased by 4% per year. The variable cost per rider will be $1.4, and total fixed costs will be $425,000 per year. After six years, the ride will be dismatled at a cost of $215,000 and the parts will be sold for $450,000. The cost of capital is 8.5%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%.

a. Calculate the initial outlay, annual after-tax cash flow for each year, and the terminal cash flow.

b. Calculate the NPV, IRR, and MIRR of the new equipment. Is the project acceptable?

c. Create a Data Table that shows the NPV, IRR, and MIRR for MACRS classes of 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 years. What do you conclude about the speed of depreciation and the profitability of an investment?

d. Using Goal Seek, calculate the minimum ticket price that must be charged in the first year in order to make the project acceptable.

Problem 2-23B Analysis of operating leverage

June Wade has invested in two start-up companies. At the end of the first year, she asks you to evaluate their operating performance. The following operating data apply to the first year:

Required

Use the contribution margin approach to compute the operating leverage for each firm.

If the economy expands in the coming year, Cook and Penn will both enjoy a 10 percent per year increase in sales volume, assuming that the selling price remains unchanged. (Note: Since the number of units increases, both revenue and variable cost will increase.) Compute the change in net income for each firm in dollar amount and in percentage.

If the economy contracts in the following year, Cook and Penn will both suffer a 10 percent decrease in sales volume, assuming that the selling price remains unchanged. (Note: Since the number of units decreases, both revenue and variable cost decrease.) Compute the change in net income for each firm in both dollar amount and percentage.

Write a memo to June Wade with your evaluation and recommendations.

We assume that the company you selected is considering a new project. The project has 8 years’ life. This project requires initial investment of $380 million to purchase equipment, and $30 million for shipping & installation fee. The fixed assets fall in the 7-year MACRS class. The salvage value of the fixed assets is 10.5% of the purchase price (including the shipping & installation fee). The number of units of the new product expected to be sold in the first year is 1,500,000 and the expected annual growth rate is 5.5%. The sales price is $255 per unit and the variable cost is $190 per unit in the first year, but they should be adjusted accordingly based on the estimated annualized inflation rate of 2.2%. The required net operating working capital (NOWC) is 9.5% of sales. Use the corporate tax rate obtained in Step (4) for the project. The project is assumed to have the same risk as the corporation, so you should use the WACC you obtained from prior steps as the discount rate. Note: you may revise the partial model in the file Ch11 P18 Build a Model.xls on the website of the textbook (also posted in this final project learning module in Blackboard) for capital budgeting analysis, but you are NOT required to strictly follow the partial model. Actually, you are encouraged to build a better model by yourself. Draw a time line of the cash flows. WACC = 7.20% Corporate Tax Rate = 18.30%

EMAIL FROM CUSTOMER

From: Freida C. Butler To: Jane Doe, Accountant Cc: Daniel B. Butler Date: January 20, 2016 My name is Freida C. Butler, and my husband and I were referred to you by our good friend Jackie Lynn. We would like for you to prepare our tax return this year. My husband works for WJJJ, Inc. and I work at a real estate company, Corbin Realty. I am not considered a subcontractor for them. Many of my friends are contractors for them and receive a 1099, but I do not. I believe I receive a W2—does that sound like the right form? We have three children who live with us. They were each in school at some point this past year. So you need to know which of them were enrolled in school last year or for how long? Will I get any tax breaks for them being in school? We also had income from some investments. We received interest and dividends from a few places. Can you tell me if those are reported on a 1099 form? If so, I may have to request this from my bank. We own our home and paid the typical homeowner’s expenses. What expenses will you need from us relating to our home? Are there any other questions you have for us, such as other deductions we can take? Just curious: this tax "stuff" is so much information to remember. How do you ever stay on top of all of these tax rules? I have always wondered that! Are you the best in the business? I look forward to hearing from you. Please let us know what other information

Case Study in Endocrine in preparation for Discussion A 51-year old unemployed salesman is brought to the emergency department by EMS at 0800, accompanied by his wife. His wife tells the emergency department nurse that her husband has not been feeling well for the last week, but that when he got up this morning, he was so weak he couldn’t dress himself and didn’t know where he was. She also tells the nurse her husband has been taking a cortisone drug for treatment of his rheumatoid arthritis for the past 2 years, but notes, “We didn’t have the money to buy it this month.” Assessment data includes: The patient is dehydrated with dry oral mucous membranes and tongue, poor skin turgor, and sunken eyeballs. His blood pressure is 94/44, and his pulse is rapid and thread. He is weak, dizzy, and disoriented about time and place. Diagnostic tests done at 0830 reveal the following abnormal findings: o EKG: widening QRS complex and increased PR interval (had peaked T-waves in the ambulance) o Sodium: 129 mEg/L (normal range: 135-145 mEq/L) o Glucose: 54 mg/ dL (normal range: 70-110 mg/dL) o Potassium: 6.2 mEq/L (normal range: 3.5-5 mEq/L) o Cortisol: 2 mg/dL (normal for morning draw: 5-23 mg/dL) The physician determines that the patient is probably suffering from adrenal insufficiency. The physician orders 5% Dextrose in 0.9 % sodium chloride in water (D5NS) to run at 250 mL/hr intravenously and Hydrocortisone 200 mg IV. After initiation of the IV fluids and medication, the patient is admitted to an inpatient bed with continuous heart monitoring.

5. Identify at least 2 methods that could be used to lower the potassium level if the patient has symptomatic hyperkalemia. (2 points)

6. Name 1 priority nursing diagnosis and 1 educational nursing diagnosis. This condition is potentially deadly for the patient, so the priority diagnosis must reflect a serious response to adrenal insufficiency that the nurse can address (4 points)

7. Name a goal statement for each nursing diagnosis. (2 points)

8. List 3 nursing interventions for each nursing diagnosis and please be specific about what is essential to teach this patient and his wife (6 points)
