Answer:
Behan will recover his amount.
Explanation:
The contract has not been formed as the contract is only enforceable if the contract is legally allowed which means that the selling of fireworks in this case scenario is not allowed and hence Behan and Fourth of July Company are both equally responsible for not committing to such type of agreements. So the company must payback the money as the contract is not enforceable in the jurisdiction.
Fortune Company's direct materials budget shows the following cost of materials to be purchased for the coming three months: January February March $ 3 Material purchases 14,870 11,690 12,760 Payments for purchases are expected to be made 50% in the month of purchase and 50% in the month following purchase. The December Accounts Payable balance is $7,200. The budgeted cash payments for materials in January are
A. $13,580.
B. $13,815
C. $9,980
D. $7,200.
E. $19,960.
Answer:
Total= $14,635
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost of materials:
January= 14,870
February= 11,690
March= 12,760
Payments for purchases are expected to be made 50% in the month of purchase and 50% in the month following purchase.
The December Accounts Payable balance is $7,200.
To calculate the cash disbursement for January, we need to use the following structure:
Cash collection:
Accounts Payable= 7,200
Cash From January= (14,870*0.5)= 7,435
Total= $14,635
Luis and Amy are programmers employed by X Corp. They work in cubicles next to each other. Both have M.Sc. degrees in computer science (Luis also has a Ph.D. in philosophy). They are about the same age, and have been with the company since its birth. Luis codes games, while Amy codes a variety of projects. Although their work is different, both jobs require the same skill level. Luis makes $100,000 a year, while Amy makes $80,000. If Amy sues X Corp. because of the pay differential, what must she show? What might the company argue in defense? Who should win?
Answer:
If Amy sues X Corp. because of the pay differential, what must she show?
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits discrimination in payment on the basis of gender (and race and origin also). In this case, Amy must prove that her work requires the same skills as Luis's and that it provides the same value to the company. They both have a master's degree in computer science, but she must also show that Luis's Ph.D. is not important to their work.
What might the company argue in defense?
The company might argue two things:
That Luis has a higher education degree, since he has a Ph.D. That Luis's work is more specialized since he codes games, while Amy codes different projects. They would have to prove that the games that Luis codes are much more profitable and valuable to the company than the work Amy does.Who should win?
If their work is similar, then Amy should win. If they are basically both doing the same job and require the same skills, therefore, the salary should be the same.
But if Luis's work is much more relevant and profitable for the company, then Amy would lose. If this is true, they might have to change Luis's compensation and reduce his salary but increase bonus compensation. This is true in all companies (or the vast majority of), e.g. the quarterback receives the highest salary since his job is more important for the team.
Tipton Processing maintains its internal inventory records using average cost under a perpetual inventory system. The following information relates to its inventory during the year: Jan. 1 Inventory on hand—80,000 units; cost $4.25 each. Feb. 14 Purchased 120,000 units for $4.50 each. Mar. 5 Sold 150,000 units for $14.00 each. Aug. 27 Purchased 50,000 units for $4.80 each. Sep. 12 Sold 60,000 units for $14.00 each. Dec. 31 Inventory on hand—40,000 units. Required: 1. Determine the amount Tipton would calculate internally for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using average cost under a perpetual inventory system. 2. Determine the amount Tipton would report externally for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using last-in, first-out (LIFO) under a periodic inventory system. 3. Determine the amount Tipton would report for its LIFO reserve at the end of the year. 4. Record the year-end adjusting entry for the LIFO reserve, assuming the balance at the beginning of the year was $8,000.
Answer:
1. Determine the amount Tipton would calculate internally for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using average cost under a perpetual inventory system.
COGS = $936,000Ending inventory = $184,0002. Determine the amount Tipton would report externally for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using last-in, first-out (LIFO) under a periodic inventory system.
COGS using LIFO = $950,000Ending inventory = $170,0003. Determine the amount Tipton would report for its LIFO reserve at the end of the year.
$22,0004. Record the year-end adjusting entry for the LIFO reserve, assuming the balance at the beginning of the year was $8,000.
Dr Cost of goods sold 14,000
Cr LIFO reserve 14,000
Explanation:
1)
Jan. 1 Inventory on hand—80,000 units; cost $4.25 each.
Feb. 14 Purchased 120,000 units for $4.50 each.
Mar. 5 Sold 150,000 units for $14.00 each.
COGS = {[(80,000 x $4.25) + (120,000 x $4.50)] / 200,000} x 150,000 = $660,000
remaining inventory 50,000 units at $4.40 = $220,000
Aug. 27 Purchased 50,000 units for $4.80 each.
Sep. 12 Sold 60,000 units for $14.00 each.
COGS = {[(50,000 x $4.40) + (50,000 x $4.80)] / 100,000} x 60,000 = $276,000
Dec. 31 Inventory on hand—40,000 units at $4.60 = $184,000
2)
Jan. 1 Inventory on hand—80,000 units; cost $4.25 each.
Feb. 14 Purchased 120,000 units for $4.50 each.
Mar. 5 Sold 150,000 units for $14.00 each.
Aug. 27 Purchased 50,000 units for $4.80 each.
Sep. 12 Sold 60,000 units for $14.00 each.
Dec. 31 Inventory on hand—40,000 units at $4.60 = $184,000
total units sold = 210,000
COGS using LIFO = (50,000 x $4.80) + (120,000 x $4.50) + (40,000 x $4.25) = $240,000 + $540,000 + $170,000 = $950,000
Ending inventory = 40,000 x $4.25 = $170,000
3) LIFO reserve = FIFO inventory - LIFO inventory
FIFO inventory = $192,000 - $170,000 = $22,000
4) $22,000 - $8,000 = $14,000
Accounts Receivable Analysis A company reports the following: Sales $1,182,600 Average accounts receivable (net) 43,800 Determine (a) the accounts receivable turnover and (b) the number of days' sales in receivables. Round interim calculations to the nearest dollar and final answers to one decimal place. Assume a 365-day year. a. Accounts receivable turnover b. Number of days' sales in receivables days
Answer:
a. The account Receivable Turnover is 27 times
b. 13.52 days approximately
Explanation:
1. Account Receivable Turnover = Net sales / Average Account Receivables
Account Receivable Turnover = $1,182,600 / $43,800
Account Receivable Turnover = 27 times
The account Receivable Turnover is 27 times
2. Number of days' sales in receivables days = (Average Account Receivables * 365 days) / Net sales
=(43,800 * 365) / 1,182,600
=13.5185
=13.52 days approximately
Jamal just inherited some money from a distant cousin overseas. He would like to put some of it in a bond and is looking at two choices. Bond A has five years to maturity, a semiannual coupon of 6% and a face value of $1,000. Bond B has ten years to maturity, an annual coupon of 4% and a face value of $1,000. Jamal knows that the rate expected in the marketplace for investments similar to these is 5%.
1. What is the present value of the coupon stream on each bond?
2. What is the present value of the face value on each bond?
3. What is the total value of each bond?
4. If Jamal sees the two bonds in the Wall Street Journal and they are both priced at 99, which bond should he buy?
Answer:
i. = $262.56 , = $308.87
ii. = $781.198 , = $613.91
iii. Bond A = $1,043.76 , Bond B = $922.78
Explanation:
(i) Present Value of Coupon Payment
Bond A :- Semiannual Coupon Amount = $1,000 * 6% * 6 / 12 = $30
Total Semiannual Period = 5 * 2 = 10
Semiannual Interest = 5% / 2 = 2.5%
Present Value of Coupon Payment = $30 * PVAF (2.5% , 10)
= $30 * 8.752
= $262.56
Bond B :- Annual Coupon Amount = $1,000 * 4% = $40
Annual Periods = 10
Annual Interest = 5%
Present Value of Coupon Payment = $40 * PVAF ( 5% , 10)
= $40 * 7.72
= $308.87
(ii) Present Value of Face Value of Bond
Bond A = $1,000 * PVF (2.5% , 10 periods)
= $1,000 * 0.7812
= $781.198
Bond B = $1,000 * PVF (5% , 10)
= $1,000 * 0.6139
= $613.91
(iii) Total Value of Each Bond
Bond A = $262.56 + $781.198 = $1,043.76
Bond B = $308.87 + $613.91 = $922.78
(iv)If Jamal sees the two bonds in the Wall Street Journal and they are both priced at 99, he should consider:
If the Bond Current Price is lower than Bond Fair Price then he should Buy the Bond
If the Bond Current Price is higher than Bond Fair Price then he should not buy the bond
Market Price of Bond = $99
He should buy Bond A But not Bond B
Bloom Corporation purchased $1,000,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds at par with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2025, so Bloom classifies their investment as HTM. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $600,000 during 2018.
Required:
For each of the following scenarios, prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2018, and indicate how the scenario will affect the 2018 income statement (ignoring income taxes).
1. Bloom now believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses.
2. Bloom does not plan to sell the Taylor bonds prior to maturity, and does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses.
Answer:
1)
Since Bloom plans to sell the bonds, it must record the entire loss as credit loss (loss on sale of bonds)
Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 400,000
Cr Discount on bond investment - Taylor bonds 400,000
Credits losses must be recognized as a loss in earnings in the income statement.
2)
Journal entry to record credit loss:
Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 250,000
Cr Discount on bond investment - Taylor bonds 250,000
Journal entry to record non-credit loss:
Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 150,000
Cr Fair value adjustment - Taylor bonds 150,000
Non-credit losses must be recognized as part of other comprehensive income/loss and must be disclosed separately than credit losses. They must be reported in the balance sheet (they lower retained earnings directly), not the income statement.
If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient quantity of resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. The efficient allocation of resources would result in the production of kegs of beer.
Answer:
1. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer.
2. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer.
Explanation:
1. If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, the marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost which means that: the society values this quantity of kegs of beer and would be more beneficial and efficient if the society devote more resources to beer production.
2. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, where marginal cost equal marginal benefit, it means that this is a good point in which shows an efficient allocation of resources to beer production because the marginal cost of the resources is equal to the marginal benefit of each keg of beer.
If 4 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost, which means that :
It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beers.
Reason :
the advantage of an additional unit of producing a good is more than the cost of producing it.hence it is good to produce more where marginal benefit equals marginal cost.If 12 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal cost exceeds the marginal benefit, which means that :
It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beers.
Reason :
the advantage of an additional unit of producing a good is less than the cost of producing it.hence it is good to produce less where marginal benefit equals marginal cost.Learn More :

On November 4, 2016, Blue Company acquired an asset (27.5-year residential real property) for $200,000 for use in its business. In 2016 and 2017, respectively, Blue took $642 and $5,128 of cost recovery. These amounts were incorrect; Blue applied the wrong percentages (i.e., those for 39-year rather than 27.5-year assets). Blue should have taken $910 and $7,272 cost recovery in 2016 and 2017, respectively. On January 1, 2018, the asset was sold for $180,000. Enter the values for each item below. If required, round all computations to the nearest dollar.a. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $.b. The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $.c. The__________ on the sale of the asset in 2018 is $
Answer:
a. $191,818
b. $303
c. The loss on the ale of the asset in 2018 is $11,515.
Explanation:
a. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $
Asset cost = $200,000
Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 = $910
Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2017 = $7,272
Basis at the end of 2017 = Asset cost - Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 - Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 = $200,000 - $910 - $7,272 = $191,818
b. The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $.
Cost recovery for 2018 = $200,000 * (0.5/12) * 3.636% = $303
c. The__________ on the sale of the asset in 2018 is $
Basis on date of sale = Basis at the end of 2017 - Cost recovery for 2018 = $191,515
Profit (Loss) on sale of asset = Sales proceed - Basis on date of sale = $180,000 − $191,515 = ($11,515) .
Therefore, the loss on the ale of the asset in 2018 is $11,515.

A 7.5% percent annual coupon bond with 20 years to maturity, selling for 104 percent of par. The bonds make semiannual payments. What is the before tax cost of debt? If the tax rate is 40%, what is the after-tax cost of debt?
The firm’s beta is 1.2. The risk-free rate is 4.0% and the expected market return is 9%. What is the cost of equity using CAPM?
Answer:
Before tax cost of debt is 7.12%
After tax cost of debt is 4.27%
Cost of equity is 10%
Explanation:
The before-tax cost of debt can be determined using excel rate formula as found below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of semiannual payments the bond has i.e 20*2=40
pmt is the amount of semiannual payment=$1000*7.5%*6/12=$ 37.50
pv is the current price =$1000*104%=$1,040.00
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(40,37.50,-1040,1000)=3.56%
The 3.56% is semiannual yield, hence 7.12% per year (3.56%*2)
After-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-t) where is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
after-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-0.40)=4.27%
Cost of equity is determined using the below CAPM formula:
Ke=Rf+Beta*(Mr-Rf)
Rf is the risk free rate of 4%
Beta is 1.2
Mr is the market return of 9%
Ke=4%+1.2(9%-4%)=10.00%
Nenn Co.'s allowance for uncollectible accounts was $190,000 at the end of 2024 and $200,000 at the end of 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Nenn reported bad debt expense of $26,000 in its income statement. What amount did Nenn debit to the appropriate account in 2024 to write off actual bad debts?
Answer:
The amount Nenn debited to write off of actual bad debt is $36,000
Explanation:
Allowance for Uncollectible beginning = $200,000
Allowance for Uncollectible at the end = $190,000
Bad debt expense reported = $26,000
Amount Nenn debited to write off of actual bad debt = $200,000 + $26,000 - $190,000 = $36,000
Byer, a plastics processor, is considering the purchase of a high-speed extruder as one option. The new extruder would cost $50,000 and would have a residual value of $3000 at the end of its 6-year life. The annual operating expenses of the new extruder would be $5000. The other option that Byer has is to rebuild its existing extruder. The rebuilding would require an investment of $30,000 and would extend the life of the existing extruder by 6 years. The existing extruder has annual operating costs of $13,000 per year and does not have a residual value. Byer's discount rate is 12%. Using net present value analysis, which option is the better option and by how much? Present Value of $1 Periods 12% 14% 16% 6 0.507 0.456 0.410 8 0.404 0.351 0.305 10 0.322 0.270 0.227 12 0.257 0.208 0.168Present Value of Annuity of $1 Periods 12% 14% 16% 6 4.111 3.889 3.685 8 4.968 4.639 4.344 10 5.650 5.216 4.833 12 6.194 5.660 5.197
Answer:
Option of the new extruder is better by $14,411.16
Explanation:
The present value of each option needs to be determined in order that the cheaper option in present value terms can be recommended.
Present value of new extruder=$50,000/(1+12%)^0+$5000/(1+12%)^1+$5000/(1+12%)^2+$5000/(1+12%)^3+$5000/(1+12%)^4+$5000/(1+12%)^5+$5000/(1+12%)^6-$3000/(1+12%)^6=$ 69,037.14
The discount factor each year=1/(1+r)^n where is 12% discount rate and n is the year
resent value of old extruder=$30,000/(1+12%)^0+$13,000/(1+12%)^1+$13000/(1+12%)^2+$13000/(1+12%)^3+$13000/(1+12%)^4+$13000/(1+12%)^5+$13000/(1+12%)^6=$ 83,448.30
The first option is better since it has a lower preset value of costs of $ 69,037.14
Difference in PVs= 83,448.30-69,037.14=$14,411.16

Explanation:
Journal entries are made to debit and credit the accounts involved in each business transaction. They are the first accounting records made to capture transactions after they have been analyzed to know the accounts affected and which accounts in the ledger will be debited or credited. They are usually accompanied with short explanations, e.g. the trade terms.
Terry's father loaned her $15,000 for college expenses. Terry agreed to repay the $15,000 in a lump sum 5 years after graduation. No interest was to be charged. Terry, who is now a senior, has the prospects of marrying a rather wealthy man and wishes to repay the loan on graduation day. Assuming that father can invest the money at 12% interest, how much should he be willing to accept on graduation day rather than waiting 5 years for his money
Answer:
PV= $8,511.40
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Final value= 15,000
Number of years= 5 years
Interest rate= 12%
We need to calculate the present value of the $15,000. We will use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Isolating PV:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 15,000/1.12^5
PV= $8,511.40
On day 51 a project has an earned value of $600, an actual cost of $650, and a planned cost of $560. Compute the SV, CV, and CPI for the project. What is your assessment of the project on day 51
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Schedule variance (SV)
= Earned value - planned cost
= $600 - $560
= $40
b. Cost variance (CV)
= Earned value - actual cost
= $600 - $650
= -$50
c. Consumer price index (CPI)
= Earned value ÷ actual cost
= $600 ÷ 650
= 0.92
As we can see from the above calculation, the project showed negative CV i.e overbudgeted but at the same time, it also showed Positive SV i.e the project is on schedule.
And, the CPI determines that the completing cost is more than the planned cost that reflects the bad condition
Jace is an executive at a large but decentralized corporation that uses the balanced scorecard. It would be reasonable for her to suggest using scorecard cascading to help her large company more effectively ensure that individuals throughout the company support its overriding strategy.A) TrueB) False
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "True".
Explanation:
A structured scoring system is used to convert the organizational score sheet (alluded to this as Tier 1) through the first sector divisions, support groups, or agencies (Tier 2) and afterward groups or entities (Tier 3). The outcome ought to be compatible throughout all organizational levels.
Organizational cohesion will be easily evident across policy, policy diagram, success indicators as well as goals, or programs. Record books could have been used to highly organized through accurate as well as a performance measurement of property, and the required behavior of employees should be encouraged.The cascading strategy should be based on the entire department mostly on tactic and the creation of even a line-of-view here between work that individuals do and the top rate of outcomes they want. When the control system is cascaded through the enterprise, goals are more organizational and pragmatic, as do success metrics. Accountability is consistent with the objectives as well as indicators as possession is described through each stage.Focus on the outcomes and methods used to achieve outcomes is shared via most of the company. This adjustment process is critical towards becoming a strategy-focused organization.According to the above particular instance, therefore, the business owner becoming a decentralized corporation, Jace seems to be correct to embrace that scorecard methodology.
Suppose that Congress passes a law requiring employers to provide employees some benefit (such as healthcare) that raises the cost of an employee by $4 per hour. Assume that firms were not providing such benefits prior to the legislation. On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the demand for labor.On the previous graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the supply of labor. Suppose the wage is free to balance supply and demand. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium wage and level of employment before this law, and use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the equilibrium wage and level of employment after this law is implemented.
True or False: Employers and employees are made worse off by this law.
True False Suppose that, before the mandate, the wage in this market was $3 above the minimum wage. In this case, the employer mandate will decrease the equilibrium wage rate from $10 per hour to $6 per hour, causing employment to increase V and unemployment to decrease 'V' . Now suppose that workers do not value the mandated benefit at all. Which of the following statements are true under this circumstance?
1. The wage rate will decline by less than $4.
2. Employers are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
3. The equilibrium quantity of labor will decline.
4. The supply curve of labor doesn't shift at all.
5. Employees are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
Answer:
a. False
b. 1. The wage rate will decline by less than $4.
2.Employers are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
3. The equilibrium quantity of labor will decline.
4. The supply curve of labor doesn't shift at all
5. Employees are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
Explanation:
The Equilibrium wage and employment level are at the point where demand and supply curves intersect. The new law will cause the demand and supply curve to shift down. Employers and employees are not made worse off rather they are well off as before.
When the workers will not value the benefit as mandated in the law the supply curve will not shift down, the equilibrium quantity of labor will decline and wage rate will decline by less than $4. Employers are worse off than before because a greater total wage will be paid by employers plus benefit for few workers. This will result in greater total cost to employer.

Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT? a. Accruals are "free" in the sense that no explicit interest is paid on these funds. b. A conservative approach to working capital management will result in most, if not all, permanent current operating assets being financed with long-term capital. c. Bank loans generally carry a higher interest rate than commercial paper. d. Commercial paper can be issued by virtually any firm so long as it is willing to pay the going interest rate. e. The risk to a firm that borrows with short-term credit is usually greater than if it borrowed using long-term debt. This added risk stems from the greater variability of interest costs on short-term debt and possible difficulties with rolling over short-term debt.
Answer: d. Commercial paper can be issued by virtually any firm so long as it is willing to pay the going interest rate.
Explanation:
Commercial Paper refers to a short term debt instrument that large Corporations and banks can issue to enable them pay off short term obligations.
While Commercial Paper does not need to be registered with the SEC if it falls under a period of 9 months for it to mature, it is not for every institution.
Only large Institutions and Banks can afford to issue commercial Paper due to risk concerns and so not all firms can issue Commercial Paper.
If a perpetual inventory system is in use _____. a physical inventory count is not required because the Inventory account is updated for each purchase and sale. a physical inventory count is not required because the Inventory account is updated every time a transaction or event occurs. a physical inventory count should be taken at least annually. a physical inventory count is required because the Inventory account is not updated when inventory is purchased or sold.
Answer: a physical inventory count should be taken at least annually
Explanation: That an inventory is perpetual does not discount the need for taking physical inventory at least once a year. This is important because it helps in the identification of shrinkage or shortages and to also test the accuracy of the perpetual records under use. Now, a perpetual inventory is a kind of inventory that tracks and records continuously, items as they are added to or subtracted from the inventory thus keeping it updated and aids in keeping the track of the cost of goods bought and sold.
8. Kidder Corporation hired Louis as a stockbroker. The employment contract provided that all disputes between the parties would be decided by arbitration. The employment agreement was a standardized form prepared by the corporation. Does Louis have a valid challenge to the legality of the contract
Answer:
idk
Explanation:
A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (5,000 units): Direct materials $70,000 Direct labor 20,000 Variable factory overhead 10,000 Fixed factory overhead 2,000 $102,000 Operating expenses: Variable operating expenses $17,000 Fixed operating expenses 1,000 18,000 If 1,000 units remain unsold at the end of the month and sales total $150,000 for the month, the amount of operating income reported on the absorption costing income statement would be
Answer:
Net operating income= $50,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs (5,000 units):
Direct materials $70,000
Direct labor 20,000
Variable factory overhead 10,000
Fixed factory overhead 2,000
Total= 102,000
Operating expenses:
Variable operating expenses $17,000
Fixed operating expenses 1,000
Sales= 4,000 units
Sales revenue= $150,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary product cost= 102,000/5,000= $20.4
Income statement:
Sales= 150,000
COGS= 20.4*4,000= (81,600)
Gross profit= 68,400
Variable operating expenses= (17,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (1,000)
Net operating income= 50,400
The Blaine Development Corporation (BDC) is reconsidering the Lummi Resort Hotel project. It would be located on the picturesque banks of Birch Bay and have its own championship-level golf course. The cost to purchase the land would be $1 million, payable immediately. Construction costs would be approximately $2 million, due at the end of year 1. However, the construction costs are uncertain. These costs could be up to 20 percent higher or lower than the estimate of $2 million with an equal chance (uniform distribution). BDC’s best estimate for the annual operating profit to be generated in years 2, 3, 4, and 5 is $700,000. Due to the great uncertainty, the estimate of the standard deviation of the annual operating profit in each year also is $700,000. Assume that the yearly profits are statistically independent and follow the normal distribution. After year 5, BDC plans to sell the hotel. The selling price is likely to be somewhere between $4 and $8 million (assume a uniform distribution), and revenue will be received in year 5. Interest has been r = 5% (and you can ignore inflation), so you can simplify your net present value (NPV) calculation to be
NPV = summation of [ (pi(t)-c(t)) / ( (1-r)^t )] where t varies from 0 to 5
where pi(t) is operating profit and ct is cost of land and construction, both in period t. Simulate the NPV 1000 times. What is the mean and standard deviation of the NPV of the project?

A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable $ 345,000 debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 700 debit Net Sales 790,000 credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 0.6% of net credit sales are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared?
Answer: $5,440
Explanation:
When using the percent of sales method to determine bad debts, the company estimates a percentage that it believes will results in uncollectible debt and then applies it to the sales/revenue figure. The figure that is calculated is then debited along with the debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful accounts to the Bad debts account for the year and credited to the Allowance for doubtful accounts.
This company estimates that they will have 0.6% of credit sales uncollectible.
There are also $790,000 in sales of which all are on credit.
The Uncollectible estimate is therefore,
= 790,000 * 0.6%
= $4,740
This figure is then added to the debit amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.
= 4,470 + 700
= $5,440
Note; A debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful debt account signifies that the bad debts were higher than anticipated the last time. This is why the figure is added to the current bad debts expense.
A decrease in operating expenses would have which of the following effects on a company's profit margin? Multiple Choice There is not enough information given to determine the effect. Net profit margin would increase. Net profit margin would decrease. Net profit margin would remain unchanged.
Answer: Net profit margin would increase.
Explanation:
A company's net profit margin is the Net Profit divided by Revenue. Net Profit is derived by subtracting some expenses and liabilities from the Revenue such as Cost of Goods as well as operating expenses.
If operating expenses were to reduce therefore, there would be less subtractions from the revenue. The would translate to a higher Net Profit and when that is then divided by the Revenue, it will give a higher Net Profit Margin.
. Eric has another get-rich-quick idea, but needs funding to support it. He chooses an all-debt funding scenario. He will borrow $1 comma 823 from Wendy, who will charge him 4% on the loan. He will also borrow $1 comma 533 from Bebe, who will charge him 6% on the loan, and $644 from Shelly, who will charge him 12% on the loan. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Eric? What is the weighted average cost of capital for Eric?
Answer:
6.04%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be described as the average rate that is expected that a business will pay to finance its assets to all holders of its security.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be estimated as the summation of the products of the weight of each loan in the total loan and their interest rate for this question as follows:
Total loan amount = $1,823 + $1,533 + $644 = 4,000
Weight of loan from Wendy = $1,823 / $4,000 = 0.46, or 46%
Weight of loan from Bebe = $1,533 / $4,000 = 0.38, or 38%
Weight of loan from Shelly = $644 / $4,000 = 0.16, or 16%
Weighted average cost of capital = (46% * 4%) + (38% * 6%) + (16% * 12%) = 6.04%.
Therefore, the weighted average cost of capital for Eric is 6.04%.
Exercise 4-7 (Algo) Income statement presentation; discontinued operations; restructuring costs [LO4-1, 4-3, 4-4] Esquire Comic Book Company had income before tax of $1,650,000 in 2021 before considering the following material items: Esquire sold one of its operating divisions, which qualified as a separate component according to generally accepted accounting principles. The before-tax loss on disposal was $405,000. The division generated before-tax income from operations from the beginning of the year through disposal of $630,000. The company incurred restructuring costs of $70,000 during the year. Required: Prepare a 2021 income statement for Esquire beginning with income from continuing operations. Assume an income tax rate of 25%. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
Net income = $1,353,750
Note: See the income statement below.
Explanation:
Before preparing the income statement, the following calculations are done first:
Income from operations of discontinued component = Income before-tax generated by the division - Before-tax loss on disposal = $630,000 - $405,000 = $225,000
Income from continuing operations = Income before tax - Restructuring costs = $1,650,000 - $70,000 = $1,580,000
The income statement can now be prepared as follows:
