Answer: d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Explanation:
In the statement of owner's equity, Retained earnings are calculated and it is done with the Net Income. This is why when the net income is calculated from the Income Statement it is transfered to the SOE and used to calculate Retained Earnings.
Retained Earnings are calculated by the formula,
Ending Retained = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income (losses) - Dividends
Net income is added to (or subtracted from if it is a Net loss) the Opening Retained earnings balance. Net dividends are also subtracted.

Perdue found that one of its chicken products may have been contaminated with bacteria, so it pulled it off the shelves and instituted a recall. This potential ethical issue was associated with which element of the marketing mix?
1. product
2. price
3. distribution
4. marketing communications promotion
Answer:
1. Product
Explanation:
Perdue finding out that one of its chicken products may have been contaminated with bacteria, pulled it off the shelves and instituted a recall.
Hence, this potential ethical issue is associated with product marketing mix because Perdue was very much concerned about the quality level, safety and reliability of his chicken products. This simply means, Perdue is much more interested in producing and selling highly uncontaminated products to it's customers.
A product marketing mix is focused mainly on the products, reason Perdue pulled the chicken products off the shelves and instituted a recall.
This would help to boost confidence among their customers to use more of their products in the future and by extension their market share.
One reason the federal government might "bail out" farmers in flood prone areas of the country? A. Such flooding is diversifiable, but the market for such insurance policies cannot clear without the assistance of the International Community. B. Such flooding is diversifiable, but insurance company CEOs are more concerned with their stockminusholder wealth than the wellminusbeing of farmers. C. Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only nonminusprofit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks. D. Such flooding is known to happen on a regular basis and therefore there is no "risk" to be insured against.
Answer: Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks
Explanation:
One reason that can make the federal ggovernment to bail out farmers in the flood prone areas of the country will be in a situation whereby the flooding is not flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks.
In this situation since the risk associated with the flooding can't be diversified, this can lead to profit making entities to run from bailing out the farmers because they'll believe there's nothing to gain for them so it might be left for the government to take charge and help out.
Two mutually exclusive investment opportunities require an initial investment of $10 million. Investment A pays $1.5 million per year in perpetuity, while investment B pays $1.2 million in the first year, with cash flows increasing by 3% per year after that. At what cost of capital would an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent?
Answer: 15%
Solving this would require finding the rate/cost of capital that gives both investments the same present value.
Investment 1
Investment 1 is a perpetuity which means that it's present value can be calculated as,
= Amount/rate
= 1,500,000/r
Investment 2
Investment 2 pays $1,200,000 in the first year and then grows at a rate of 3% every year afterwards.
The Present Value of such can be calculated with the following equation,
= Amount / ( rate/cost of capital - growth rate)
= 1,200,000 / ( r - 3%)
To find the Rate that gives both figures the same Present Value, simply equate them.
1,500,000/r = 1,200,000 / (r - 3%)
1,500,000(r - 3% ) = 1,200,000r
1,500,000r - 45,000 = 1,200,000r
300,000r = 45,000
r = 45,000/300,000
r= 0.15
r = 15%
At 15% an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent.

Kelly received a $60,000 salary during 2017. Her federal income tax withholding rate was 20%, and the Social Security base amount for 2017 was $118,500.What is the total amount that her employer should have withheld in 2017?
A. $15,390
B. $16,590
C. $15,979
D. $6,849
Answer: B. $16,590
Explanation:
The FICA tax rate which is the combined Social Security and Medicare rate for 2017 was 7.65%.
Assuming a base of $118,500 this means that you are taxed on your first $118,500 in earnings.
Kelly only made $60,000 so the tax rate will apply to her $60,000.
Adding that to the 20% that she is due to pay on Federal Income tax the total amount her employer withheld was,
= (60,000 * 20%) + (60,000 * 7.65%)
= 12,000 + 4,590
= $16,590
Option B is correct.
During January 2018, the first month of operations, a consulting firm had following transactions: Issued common stock to owners in exchange for $20,000 cash. Purchased $5,000 of equipment, paying $1,000 cash and signing a promissory note for $4,000. Received $9,000 in cash for consulting services performed in January. Purchased $1,500 of supplies on account; all of the supplies were used in January. Provided consulting services on account in the amount of $16,000. Paid $750 on account. Paid $3,000 to employees for work performed during January. Received a bill for utilities for January of $3,400; the bill remains unpaid. What is the amount of total revenue to be reported on the income statement for the month of January?
Answer:
The total or gross revenue for this company on the income statement would be the sum of:
$9,000 received in cash for consulting services performed in January$16,000 worth of consulting services that will be paid on account.So the total revenue will be $25,000.
This is because revenue is different from cash: as long as the sales are made, they are counted as revenue even if they are on account, and no cash payment has been made.

Suppose all individuals are identical, and their monthly demand for Internet access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q where p is price in $ per hour and q is hours per month. The firm faces a constant marginal cost of $1. If the firm will charge a monthly access fee plus a per hour rate, the monthly access fee will equal A. $5. B. $16. C. $1. D. $8.
Answer: B) $16
Explanation:
First lets take down the data given to us;
access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q i.e 5 - 0.5q
Using the concept of two-part terrific which is a monopolistic market system, it is type of price discrimination where the price of goods and services are of two section namely; a lump-sum fee (expensive) as well as a per-unit charge .
Entry fees are set to be equal to the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium.
So we calculate our price and quantity in the competitive equilibrium first, marginal cost is equal to price
5 - 0.5q = 1
4 / 0.5 = q
q = 8
Now the intercept of the demand curve at the vertical axis is 5,
so the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium is:
M = (5 - 1) * 8 / 2
M = 4 * 4
M = 16
the monthly access fee will be equal to $16.
An asset is acquired using a noninterest-bearing note payable for $100,000 due in two years. Management records the purchase with a debit to the asset for $100,000 and a credit to notes payable for $100,000. Which of the following statements is correct?A. Management has properly recorded the transaction.B. Management has not considered the present value of the note in recording the asset.C. Management should not record the asset until the note has been paid.D. Management should record the note for more than $100,000 to account for the underlying interest.
Answer:
The answer is A. Management has properly recorded the transaction.
Explanation:
According to the given data Since the note is non interest bearing, no interest will be paid on the bond.
Therefore, asset will be debited and note payable will be credited by the full amount.
Therefore, the Management has properly recorded the transaction.
The joural entry would be as follows:
Debit Credit
asset $100,000
note payable $100,000

According to WSJ article, companies like Apple, Deere, and Walt Disney recently issued new bonds on the market, totaling $27 billion offering on a single day on Sep. 3. What explains such an increased activity in a corporate bond market
Answer: Fall in Benchmark Interest Rates.
Explanation:
This activity was caused by a Refinancing Drive. Refinancing is when entities get a new loan with a lower interest rate and pay off the older loan with a higher interest rate so that they can pay at the lower rate.
Bond interest rates are usually fixed so when interest rates in a country fall, bond holders don't benefit from that. One option they have to take advantage of that is to go on a Refinancing Drive and issue new bonds at those lower rates and then pay off the older ones.
That is what Apple, Deere, and Walt Disney have done.
A perfectly elastic demand function A. shows that a consumer is willing to pay any amount for the product. B. has a marginal revenue that is always decreasing. C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market. D. shows that the individual firm can increase sales by lowering the price of output.
Answer:
C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market.
Explanation:
Demand is perfectly elastic if the coefficient of elasticity is infinite. It means thay consumers would only buy at one price. Once that price changes, demand falls to zero.
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
If a seller decides to increase the price of his good in a perfect competition, demand falls to zero and reducing price woild lead to losses.

A water utility is planning to construct a grease treatment facility so that local haulers will not have to transport grease to a city 550 km away. The facility will cost $400,000 to build and $160,000 per year to operate. Benefits to the haulers and restaurant owners (through reduced costs) are expected to be $250,000 per year. If the facility will have a 10-year life, the B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to:
Answer:
The B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to 1.17
Explanation:
In order to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% per year we would have to make first the following calculations:
Present Worth(PW) of annual operating cost (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,160000,0) = $1,177,613.93
PW of annual benefit (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,250000,0) = $1,840,021.76
Present cost (at beginning of project) = $400,000
Therefore, to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% we would use the following formula:
B/C ratio at 6%=PW of benefits-PW of disbenefits/Initial cost+PW of operating and maintenance-PW of salvage value
B/C ratio = ($1,840,021.76 - 0)/($400,000 - $1,177,613.93) = 1.17
Elegant Limited sells restored classic cars. Most of its customers are private buyers who buy cars for themselves. However, some of them are investors who buy multiple cars and hold them for resale. All sales of Elegant Limited are for cash.
Depict the association and cardinality for the sales of cars at Elegant Limited based on REA model. (10 marks, maximum 300 words)
Answer:
Elegant Limited
Depiction of the Association and Cardinality for the sales of cars:
1. Association: At Elegant Limited, for a car to be sold, a relationship must be established between Elegant Limited and some of its customers (private buyers and investors). A sale of car involve the exchange of economic resources. While Elegant Limited exchanges the cars for cash receipts, the customers exchange their cash for cars. Two economic resources are involved in the sale of cars, which are exchanged between two economic agents (Elegant Limited and customers) in a business event.
2. Cardinality: In each of the economic events involving the sale of cars to customers and the receipt of cash from customers, two elements are involved, which are the exchanges of resources. Cars and Cash are the elements that show their cardinality in the economic event. These elements are known as economic resources.
Explanation:
a) The REA Model is a tool for modelling business processes. In the sales process, one event would be the “sales of cars,” occasioning the giving of cars for “cash receipt,” the other event. These two events are linked as a cash receipt occurs in exchange for a sale, and vice versa. The REA Model was originally proposed in 1982 by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model, and contained the concepts of resources, events and agents, according to wikipedia.com.
b) Association refers to the relationship existing when an event takes place. At least, two persons are impacted by any event, the giver and the receiver. For an economic event involving the exchange of resources to happen, two economic agents are involved. Otherwise, no transaction can take place. The seller of cars (Elegant Limited) and the buyers (Customers both private and investors).
c) Cardinality refers to the elements that make up an economic event, for example. The sale of cars and receipt of cash are economic events happening in a business relationship between Elegant Limited and Customers. The elements that make up the events are the resources (cars and cash), which are exchanged.
The budgeted income statement presented below is for Burkett Corporation for the coming fiscal year. If Burkett Corporation achieves the budgeted level of sales, what will be its margin of safety in dollars?
Answer:
Margin Of Safety= $275,862
Explanation:
We can calculate the margin of safety easily by the formula given below
Formula: Margin of safety = Budgeted sales - Breakeven sales
As breakeven sales are not given in the data Firstly we need to find out break even sales in order to calculate margin of safety
Breakeven sales= [tex]\frac{Total fixed cost}{Contribution margin ratio}[/tex]
As you can see in the data fixed cost s given but contribution margin ratio is not
Contribution margin(Sales revenue - All variable cost)= $1,000,000 - ($270,000 + $240,000 + $150,000 + $50,000) = $1,000,000 - $710,000 = $290,000
Sales price per unit = Total sales/Number of units sold
Sales price per unit= $1,000,000/50,000 = $20
Budgeted contribution margin= $290,000/50,000 = $5.80
Contribution margin ratio = Budgeted contribution margin per unit/Sales price per unit
Contribution margin ratio = $5.80/$20 = 29%
Lets put values in breakeven formula to find breakeven sales
Breakeven sales= [tex]\frac{Total fixed cost}{Contribution margin ratio}[/tex]
Breakeven sales=[tex]\frac{210000}{0.29}[/tex]
Breakeven sales= $724,138
Now we have both budgeted sales and breakeven sales, we can easily calculate e of safety
Margin of safety = $1,000,000- $724,138
Margin of safety = $275,862

Reliable Gearing currently is all-equity-financed. It has 17,000 shares of equity outstanding, selling at $100 a share. The firm is considering a capital restructuring. The low-debt plan calls for a debt issue of $270,000 with the proceeds used to buy back stock. The high-debt plan would exchange $470,000 of debt for equity. The debt will pay an interest rate of 11%. The firm pays no taxes.
Required:
a. What will be the debt-to-equity ratio if it borrows $220,000?
b. If earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) are $130,000, what will be earnings per share (EPS) if Reliable borrows $220,000?
c. What will EPS be if it borrows $420,000?
Answer:
a. 0.15
b. $7.15 per share
c. $6.55
Explanation:
a. What will be the debt-to-equity ratio if it borrows $220,000?
Market value of equity = 17,000 * $100 = $1,700,000
Since the proceeds of a debt issue of $270,000 is used to buy back stock, we have:
Remaining market value of equity = $1,700,000 - $220,000 = $1,480,000
Therefore,
Debt-to-equity ratio = Debt / Remaining market value of equity = $220,000 / $1,480,000 = 0.15.
b. If earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) are $130,000, what will be earnings per share (EPS) if Reliable borrows $220,000?
Remaining number of shares = Remaining market value of equity / Market price per share = $1,480,000 / $100 = 14,800 shares
Interest on debt = $220,000 * 11% = $24,200
Tax = $0
Earning after interest and tax = EBIT - Interest on debt - Tax = $130,000 - $24,200 - $0 = $105,800
EPS = Earning after interest and tax / Remaining number of shares = $105,800 / 14,800 = $7.15 per share
c. What will EPS be if it borrows $420,000?
Remaining number of shares = ($1,700,000 - $420,000) / $100 = 12,800 shares
Interest on debt = $420,00 * 11% = $46,200
Tax = $0
Earning after interest and tax = EBIT - Interest on debt - Tax = $130,000 - $46,200 - $0 = $83,800
EPS = Earning after interest and tax / Remaining number of shares = $83,800 / 12,800 = $6.55 per share
A company has a fiscal year-end of December 31:_______.
(1) on October 1, $18,000 was paid for a one-year fire insurance policy; (2) on June 30 the company advanced its chief financial officer $16,000; principal and interest at 6% on the note are due in one year; and (3) equipment costing $66,000 was purchased at the beginning of the year for cash. Depreciation on the equipment is $13,200 per year. If the adjusting entries were not recorded, would net income be higher or lower and by how much?
Answer:
Net income would be higher by $17,220 if the adjusting entries were left unrecorded
Explanation:
The adjusting entries for insurance prepaid would be to recognize three months of insurance cost as insurance expense i.e $18,000*3/12=$4,500
The adjusting entries for the advance of $16,000 is to recognize interest revenue for six months (from July to December) in the books i.e$16,000*6%*6/12=$480
The depreciation charge would increase expenses by $13,200
The impact of profit is shown below:
insurance expense ($4,500)
interest revenue $480
depreciation ( $13,200)
total impact (17220)
You plan to borrow money from your grandmother to start a new chocolate candy business. You agree to make one payment of $100,000 at the end of 6 years and negotiate an interest rate of 7%. Your grandmother has offered to reduce either the interest rate or the number of years before the $100,000. Assuming your grandmother will lend you the present value of the final payment and that you want to borrow as much as possible today, which option would you prefer?
Answer:
future payment $100,000 in 6 years
agreed interest rate 7%
the present value of the $100,000:
PV = $100,000 / (1 + 7%)⁶ = $66,634
if your grandmother really likes you and offers to either reduce the interest rate or the number of years, you should choose a reduction in the interest rate:
PV at 6% = $100,000 / (1 + 6%)⁶ = $66,634
PV at 5% = $100,000 / (1 + 5%)⁶ = $74,622
PV at 4% = $100,000 / (1 + 4%)⁶ = $79,031
PV at 3% = $100,000 / (1 + 3%)⁶ = $83,748
PV at 2% = $100,000 / (1 + 2%)⁶ = $88,797
PV at 1% = $100,000 / (1 + 1%)⁶ = $94,205
the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of the $100,000

Sam was injured in an accident, and the insurance company has offered him the choice of $25,000 per year for 15 years, with the first payment being made today, or a lump sum. If a fair return is 7.5%, how large must the lump sum be to leave him as well off financially as with the annuity
Answer:
The lump sum be of $237,228.84
Explanation:
In order to calculate how large must the lump sum be we would have to use and calculate the formula of Present value of annuity due as follows:
Present value of annuity due=(1+interest rate)*Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
Present value of annuity due=(1+0.075)*$25,000[1-(1.075)^-15]/0.075
Present value of annuity due=$25,000*9.489153726
Present value of annuity due=$237,228.84(Approx)
The lump sum be of $237,228.84
Why Do Organizations not change in response to environmental pressures?
Answer:
It often proves difficult to actually realize the change that you have come up with. Especially when it comes to cultural or behavioral change. We want to show that change is not so much something that you have to get others to join. You have to make your change part of it

Metro Services, Inc. reported the following information for the year 2019. Based on the following information, calculate the rate of return on total assets for Metro Services, Inc. (Round the percentage to two decimal places.)Total Assets, December 31, 2019$599,000Total Assets, December 31, 2018$505,000For Year Ended December 31, 2019: Interest Expense$27,900 Net Income$67,100A. 7.78%B. 7.10%C. 11.20%D. 17.21%
Answer:
Option D,17.21% is correct
Explanation:
The total assets deployed in generating profit for the year is the average of the beginning assets of $599,000 and the closing assets of $505,000 which translated into $552,000 i.e ($599,000+$502,000)/2
The total return on assets is the profit before interest, hence the interest of $27,900 is added to net income of $67,100 to give total return on assets in dollar terms i.e $95,000($27,900+$67,100)
The return on total assets=total return/average assets=$95,000/$552,000=17.21%
g In 2010, the MoreForLess Company had revenues of $2,000,000 while costs were $1,500,000. In 2011, MoreForLess will be introducing a new product line that will generate $200,000 in sales revenues and $160,000 in costs. Assuming no changes are expected for the other products, the differential operating profit for 2011 is
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Differential operating profit refers to how much will the company's operating profit change if another project or projects is/are carried out.
In this case, the normal operating profit = $2,000,000 - $1,500,000 = $500,000. When the new product line is introduced, additional revenues and costs will result in $40,000 more in profits (= $200,000 - $160,000). The differential operating profits are the $40,000 generated by the new product line.
Betty contributed land with a $6,000 basis and a $10,000 FMV to the ABC Partnership in Year 1. In Year 2, the land was distributed to Sally, another partner in the partnership. At the time of the distribution, the land had a $12,000 fair market value, and Sally had a $30,000 basis for her partnership interest. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution? What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
Answer:
a. Gain recognized by Betty on the distribution is $4,000.
b. Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.
Explanation:
a. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution?
When an asset contributed by a partner to a partnership is distributed, the gain or loss to be recognized by the partner that contributed the asset is the difference between the fair market value (FMV) and the basis of the asset. Therefore, we have:
Gain recognized by Betty = FMV of the land - Basis of the land = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000
b. What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
When an asset of partnership is distributed to another partner in a partnership, the partner's basis for the distributed asset is the FMV of the distributed asset.
Since the FMV of the land contributed by Bettt but now distributed to Sally is $10,000, Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.
Acitelli Corporation, which applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours, has provided the following data for its most recent year of operations.
Estimated manufacturing overhead $ 351,960
Estimated machine-hours 8,400
Actual manufacturing overhead $ 352,960
Actual machine-hours 8,460
The estimates of the manufacturing overhead and of machine-hours were made at the beginning of the year for the purpose of computing the company's predetermined overhead rate for the year.
The applied manufacturing overhead for the year is closest to:_________.
A. $357,012
B. $354,474
C. $355,489
D. $352,951
Answer:
B. $354,474
Explanation:
The Overheads that are initially included in Work In Process before determination of Actual Overheads are called Applied Overheads.
Applied Overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual level of Activity.
Thus said we need to first determine the Predetermined overhead rate :
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $ 351,960 / 8,400 machine hours
= $41.90 per machine hour
Therefore,
Applied Overheads = $41.90 × 8,460 machine hours
= $354,474
Conclusion :
The applied manufacturing overhead for the year is closest to: $354,474
Blythe Company has provided the following information: Sales price per unit $40 Variable cost per unit 18 Fixed costs per month 12,800 What is the amount of sales in dollars required for Blythe to break even? (Round any percentages to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273
Explanation:
The break-even point is the selling price at which the selling price, equals the cost of production. no profit is made, but no loss is incurred too.
we will use the formula for calculating required selling price, to calculate the break-even price as follows:
Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue
Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost
contribution margin = 40 - 18 = $22
Net sales revenue = $40
∴ contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue) × 100
= 22 ÷ 40 = 55.00% = 0.55
∴ Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Required selling price = (12,800 + 0) ÷ 55.00%
= 12,800 ÷ 0.55 = 23,272.7 = 23,273 (to the nearest dollars)
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273
