Measurements and Behavior
Five functional managers are discussed in the case
a) Marketing b) Product Design amp Development c) Finance d) Manufacturing Engineering e) Distribution
Distribution
How are they measured How does it influence their views on the universal power supply

Universal Power Supply - Costs amp Benefits
Costs Benefits
higher cost per unit = $50 lengthen Break-Even Time (BET) problems allocating supply
increase forecast accuracy fewer stockouts fewer lost sales less safety stock required fewer expedited shipments eliminates re-configuration work

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
111712 9
What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
At start-up the individual errors are 80+ If the errors tend to offset each other then the combined error will be closer to 40
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20

If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products At maturity the individual errors are ~40 If the errors tend to offset each other then the combined error will be closer to 20

Key Learnings for Management in Engineering
Engineeringdesign decisions have major impact on operations and customer service
Consider all the costs especially when things do not go according to plan
Measurements and rewards change behavior influence how your company operates
111712 12
Key Takeaways
1 Forecasts are always wrong 2 How wrong (a) a lot or (b) an awful lot 3 Challenge for international markets power localization etc 4 Global supply lines mean long lead times aggravating the problem 5 Design can have a major impact on supply chain flexibility 6 Hard costs will lead you to specialized products Inventory
benefits can be very large but are Soft costs 7 Who is measured on inventory 8 Hidden costs are often invisible or occur much later than the key
decisions which can create them 9 Do the math Think again about what could change the answer 10 Remember that this is one of many decisions over time

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to
December 31 of 2010

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
111712 9
What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
111712 9
What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

At start-up the individual errors are 80+ If the errors tend to offset each other then the combined error will be closer to 40
where σ

Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely

If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products At maturity the individual errors are ~40 If the errors tend to offset each other then the combined error will be closer to 20

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

B (5 points) ABC receives a loan in the amount of $20000 from the bank The company mistakenly records the loan as a common stock issuance
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
111712 9
What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

At start-up the individual errors are 80+ If the errors tend to offset each other then the combined error will be closer to 40
where σ

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
Company ldquoWinBigrdquois interested in raising funding for a new activity Here is the companyrsquos Balance sheet for January 1st 2011 (the day in which the company is trying to raise the money)
Cash 150000 Accounts Payable 160000 Accounts Receivable 130000 Accrued Expenses 40000
Land 300000 Long Term Loan 100000
Shareholders Equity 80000 Paid in Capital 110000 Retained Earnings 90000
The company received two funding alternatives
1 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 5 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to equity ratio equal or lower than 125
2 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 6 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to assets ratio equal or lower than 075
The loan in the companyrsquos balance sheet above is a previous loan (not one of these alternatives)
(a) Which of these alternatives WinBig should choose in order to maintain the requirements detailed above Explain your answer and show your calculations

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
111712 9
What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
Company ldquoWinBigrdquois interested in raising funding for a new activity Here is the companyrsquos Balance sheet for January 1st 2011 (the day in which the company is trying to raise the money)
Cash 150000 Accounts Payable 160000 Accounts Receivable 130000 Accrued Expenses 40000
Land 300000 Long Term Loan 100000
Shareholders Equity 80000 Paid in Capital 110000 Retained Earnings 90000
The company received two funding alternatives
1 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 5 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to equity ratio equal or lower than 125
2 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 6 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to assets ratio equal or lower than 075
The loan in the companyrsquos balance sheet above is a previous loan (not one of these alternatives)
(a) Which of these alternatives WinBig should choose in order to maintain the requirements detailed above Explain your answer and show your calculations

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
Company ldquoWinBigrdquois interested in raising funding for a new activity Here is the companyrsquos Balance sheet for January 1st 2011 (the day in which the company is trying to raise the money)
Cash 150000 Accounts Payable 160000 Accounts Receivable 130000 Accrued Expenses 40000
Land 300000 Long Term Loan 100000
Shareholders Equity 80000 Paid in Capital 110000 Retained Earnings 90000
The company received two funding alternatives
1 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 5 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to equity ratio equal or lower than 125
2 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 6 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to assets ratio equal or lower than 075
The loan in the companyrsquos balance sheet above is a previous loan (not one of these alternatives)
(a) Which of these alternatives WinBig should choose in order to maintain the requirements detailed above Explain your answer and show your calculations

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained

What happens to forecast error if we have a universal power supply
The variability of the forecast errors would combine as follows
21 2 2
2 1 2 σρσσσσ ++= new
At start-up the individual errors are 80+ If the errors tend to offset each other then the combined error will be closer to 40
where σ
12 are the individual product forecast error standard deviations ρ is the correlation coefficient of the two errors
Letrsquos say your individual forecast value is 10 and σ 12 both equal 04 (40) If the errors are completely
uncorrelated (ρ =0) then the standard deviation of the forecast error of the combined product stream would be 057 or 28 of the combined forecast of 20
If people tend to buy one product or the other and a drop in one always occurs with a rise in the other (perfect negative correlation ρ = -1) then the new standard deviation would be 00
If say world events always cause similar errors in both products (perfect positive correlation ρ = 1) then the new standard deviation would be 080 or 40 of the combined forecast
So you can only get better by combining products At maturity the individual errors are ~40 If the errors tend to offset each other then the combined error will be closer to 20

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to
December 31 of 2010

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

B (5 points) ABC receives a loan in the amount of $20000 from the bank The company mistakenly records the loan as a common stock issuance
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
Company ldquoWinBigrdquois interested in raising funding for a new activity Here is the companyrsquos Balance sheet for January 1st 2011 (the day in which the company is trying to raise the money)
Cash 150000 Accounts Payable 160000 Accounts Receivable 130000 Accrued Expenses 40000
Land 300000 Long Term Loan 100000
Shareholders Equity 80000 Paid in Capital 110000 Retained Earnings 90000
The company received two funding alternatives
1 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 5 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to equity ratio equal or lower than 125
2 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 6 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to assets ratio equal or lower than 075
The loan in the companyrsquos balance sheet above is a previous loan (not one of these alternatives)

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000106 406000 2 DA = = = = 060 lt 075 = OK Total Assets 150000+130000+300000+100000 680000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to
December 31 of 2010

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Long-term Debt 100000 1 DE = = = 125 = 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000
Long-term Debt 100000 1000002 DA = = = = 015 lt 075 = OK Total Assets 150000+130000+300000+100000 680000
If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate
Long-term Debt 100000 1 DE = = = 036 lt 125 = OK Shareholder Equity 280000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
2962961 Quiz 1 Name_____________________________________

ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to
December 31 of 2010

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
Company ldquoWinBigrdquois interested in raising funding for a new activity Here is the companyrsquos Balance sheet for January 1st 2011 (the day in which the company is trying to raise the money)
Cash 150000 Accounts Payable 160000 Accounts Receivable 130000 Accrued Expenses 40000
Land 300000 Long Term Loan 100000
Shareholders Equity 80000 Paid in Capital 110000 Retained Earnings 90000
The company received two funding alternatives
1 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 5 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to equity ratio equal or lower than 125
2 A loan in a sum of $100000 fully due at the end of the year carrying a 6 interest payable at the end of the year In addition the company must maintain a debt to assets ratio equal or lower than 075
The loan in the companyrsquos balance sheet above is a previous loan (not one of these alternatives)

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Long-term Debt 100000 1 DE = = = 125 = 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000106 406000 2 DA = = = = 060 lt 075 = OK Total Assets 150000+130000+300000+100000 680000
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Long-term Debt 100000 1 DE = = = 125 = 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000
Long-term Debt 100000 1000002 DA = = = = 015 lt 075 = OK Total Assets 150000+130000+300000+100000 680000
If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate
Long-term Debt 100000 1 DE = = = 036 lt 125 = OK Shareholder Equity 280000
Long-term Debt 100000 1000002 DA = = = = 015 lt 075 = OK Total Assets 150000+130000+300000+100000 680000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium
This assignment sheet was prepared by Nathan L Pratt and Henry S Marcus as an introduction to working with the referenced investment model Some information in this spreadsheet (the inputs relating to TCE and interest rates in particular) has been disguised at the request of the author of the spreadsheet

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to
December 31 of 2010

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact
What should SUL Corsquos pricing policy be From a shipownerrsquos viewpoint what are the prorsquos and conrsquos of being a self
unloader shipowner Should SUL Co build the ship described in the case studyspreadsheet How does the down market affect SUL Corsquos decision
Guidelines for the SUL Mendoza Investment Model To modify capital costs Change cell F7 from a value of $48000000 to $60000000 To change operating expenses Change cell V8 from a value of $7000 to $8900 To change the time charter equivalent (TCE) rate Think of the TCE rate as the amount that the shipowner charges for the use of his ship each day To see the impact of increasing the TCE by X change cell F17 from 0 to X Hit ldquoEnterrdquo For your homework just state the PERCENTAGE PREMIUM plus 3 reasons why you think that SUL Co willmdashor will notmdashbe able to obtain this premium

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

Self-Unloader Dry Bulk Ships Case Study amp Questions
Read the SUL Company case study For your written assignment I want you to calculate the premium (expressed as a percentage) that the self-unloader shipowner must charge compared to the owner of a standard bulker This premium should be evaluated for a ship that costs $60 million to build (includes an additional $12 million in vessel cost for the self-unloader) and has a daily operating cost (opex) of $8900 The premium must provide an equivalent return on capital (ROC) and return on equity (ROE) when compared to the original values for the standard bulker (See guidelines below as to how to do this) In class we will discuss
The above calculation assumes that the self-unloader spends the same time in port as a standard bulker What impact does it have that the self-unloader has a faster unloading rate and therefore a shorter time in port How do you quantify this impact

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Long-term Debt 100000 1 DE = = = 125 = 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 145 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 280000 280000

If equity is $280000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 1 since both are possible but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate
Long-term Debt 100000 1 DE = = = 036 lt 125 = OK Shareholder Equity 280000

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory

2962961 Midterm Exam Answer Key Question 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers These are just examples Also note the order of performing these calculations is not simply ai Up to -2 marks per error
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)
f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100) f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-100 g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash - Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from Investing i = 50-220-(20) i = (150)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility
Total Liabilities 160000+40000+100000+100000105 4050001 DE = = = = 506 gt 125 = FAIL Shareholder Equity 80000 80000

If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300) a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) + (Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0 + (300) - c c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity 110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e = (300)+f-0 e=(100)

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses 2 Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year) 3 Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to

Question 3 Cash Flow Statement
In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question The maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column In addition for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions
If equity is $80000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities WinBig should choose alternative 2 since it is the only possibility

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory

Question 2 Recording Transactions (40 points) We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio) Accordingly there were multiple right answers to some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part) The correct answers are marked in Bold and Underlined
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio)
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the transactions Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes

Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes
1 Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property) which did not have an effect on cash - you were required to add an adjustment in the Non Cash adjustments part
2 Although it seems the PPampE did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and Ending Balance are the same) since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen (reduced the PPampE by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional PPampE in the same amount

Question 4 IShareholders Equity was meant to read IShare Capital such that you were supposed to add all three lines to get $280000 in Shareholder Equity However if you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80000 and made the correct conclusion given that choice you were not penalized Also if you elected to use long-term debt in these ratios instead of the more common total liabilities you should have realized that a one-year loan is not long-term debt In real life you would clarify these conditions with your debtors Also note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a liability with interest Up to 5 marks per calculation 5 marks for conclusion There were 4 possible correct solutions

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation

Question 4 Ratios (15 points)
For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation
Accounts Payable
Retained Earnings
(10000) (10000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same

Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings 20000 20000
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same
ROE higher than lower than the same
Leverage higher than lower than the same
C (5 points) During a physical inventory count at yearend ABC realizes that 200 units of inventory costing $20000 are missing however ABC fails to update its accounting records
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation Loan Retained
Earnings (20000) (20000)
The effect of the error on the ratio is
ROA higher than lower than the same

For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
The transaction ABC should have recorded is
ASSETS LIABILITIES EQUITY
Cash Accounts Receivable Inventory
Accumulated Depreciation

For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000

For each of the following transactions first indicate the transaction ABC should have recorded and whether each account represents an asset (A) liability (L) or shareholderrsquos equity (SE) Then indicate how each of these accounting errors would affect ABC Incrsquos return on assets return on shareholderrsquos equity and debt to equity ratio That is after each error would the firmrsquos ROA ROE and Leverage ratio be too high too low or the same Consider each of the errors independently
Assume that ROA and ROE before each error are below one and above 0 (that is 0 lt ROA lt1 and 0 lt ROE lt1) and that the Leverage ratio before each error is equal to 050 Ignore taxes
For instance if ABC should have recorded the receipt of $10000 cash and a related decrease in accounts receivable the entry should appear as
Cash (A) $10000
Accounts Receivable (A) $10000
A (5 points) ABC incurs research and development (RampD) expense of $10000 in the current year Rather than record an expense ABC capitalizes $10000 of RampD as an asset There are no other entries related to this transaction during the current year Note that ABC normally pays RampD expenses in cash
