Answer: A few large flagship stores located in big cities; High-end pricing( Option A and D)
Explanation:
Because the people in this country usually shop close to their home, it would not be wise for a business to opt for few large flagship stores rather than a larger number of the smaller stores.
It would also be unwise for such business to sell mainly high-end products because the shoppers are used to good deals and haggling. Such company would be smart, to sell the products individually, because bulk purchases would make little sense for people that make frequent trips to the store.
Also, in a country with a congested transportation, an easy-to-access store locations will be important and having product experts on the floor who answers the questions of customers’ would appeal to network-oriented local culture.
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.
Laser World reports net income of $620,000. Depreciation expense is $47,000, accounts receivable increases $11,000, and accounts payable decreases $27,000. Calculate net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (List cash outflows and any decrease in cash as negative amounts.)
Answer:
$629,000
Explanation:
The net cash flow from operating activities is the net income plus depreciation, minus the increase in accounts receivable as well as the decrease in accounts payable.
Net income is $620,000
depreciaton expense $47,000
Increase in accounts receivable ($11,000)
decrease in accounts payable ($27,000)
Net cash flow from operations $629,000
The increase in accounts receivable denies the business of additional cash,hence it is deducted ,the same applies to increase in accounts payable
There are many perfumes on the market, but Demeter, a superior brand of perfume, has memorable scents that leads to emotional ties. Which element of the marketing plan is being considered when the marketing manager decided initially to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores?
Answer:
Place
Explanation:
The four P's of marketing is a number of tactics employed in a marketing plan to achieve better sales of a product. These four P's include; Price, Place, Promotion, and Product. The place factor takes note of the location where the target customers are most likely to be reached. To achieve better sales of a product, it is very important that the right location is chosen so that consumers who are interested in it can access it easily. For example, it would make no sense to sell grocery products in a boutique. That is not where the target customers are.
So, when the marketing manager of Demeter Perfumes decided to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores, it is because that place is where the target market (most likely, high income earners), can be found easily.
. 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%.
Sunset Corporation (a C corporation) had operating income of $200,000 and operating expenses of $175,000. In addition, Sunset had a $30,000 long-term capital gain, a $52,000 short-term capital loss, and $5,000 tax-exempt interest income. What is Sunset Corporation's taxable income for the year
Answer:
Sunset Corporation's taxable income is $3,000
Explanation:
Calculation of Sunset Corporation's taxable income is as worked below
Taxable Income = Operating Income - Operating Expenses + Capital Gains - Capital Losses
Taxable Income = $200,000 - $175,000 + $30,000 - $52,000
Taxable Income = $3,000. Hence, Sunset Corporation's taxable income is $3,000
Note that taxable income is the amount of income used to calculate how much tax an individual or a company owes or is going to pay the government in a particular tax year.
The Melrose Corporation produces a single product, Product C. Melrose has the capacity to produce 90,000 units of Product C each year. If Melrose produces at capacity, the per unit costs to produce and sell one unit of Product C are as follows:
Direct materials $22.80
Direct labor $18.60
Variable manufacturing overhead $14.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $16.00
Variable selling expense $12.80
Fixed selling expense $8.40
The regular selling price of one unit of Product C is $100.80. A special order has been received by Melrose from Moore Corporation to purchase 3,500 units of Product C during the upcoming year. If this special order is accepted, the variable selling expense will be reduced by 75%. Total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling expenses would be unaffected except that Melrose will need to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Moore name on each unit of product C in the special order. The machine will cost $6,300 and will have no use after the special order is filled. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Assume that Melrose expects to sell 68,000 units of Product C to regular customers next year. At what selling price for the 3,500 units would Melrose be economically indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore?
a. $59.10
b. $60.60
c. $81.10
d. $82.60
Answer:
Indifferent selling price =$67 per units
Explanation:
The selling at which Mel rose would be economically be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore is that that equates the relevant cost of making to the revenue from t
Relevant variable cost making
= 22.80 + 18.60 + 14.20 + (75%×12.80) = $65.2
$
Variable cost of special order (= $65.2 × 3,500)= 228,200
Cost of machine 6,300
Total relevant cost of special order 234,500
The price at which Melrose would be indifferent
= total relevant cost/ number of units
$234,500/3500 units
=$67 per units
The following inventory balances relate to Lequin Manufacturing Corporation at the beginning and end of the year: Beginning Ending Raw materials $14,000 $19,000 Work in process $31,000 $7,000 Finished goods $25,000 $23,000 Lequin's total manufacturing cost was $543,000. What was Lequin's cost of goods sold?
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $564,000
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold would be determined as follows:
$
Opening inventory
Raw material = 14,000
Work in progress 31,000
Manufacturing cost 543,000
588,000
Add open inventory of Finished goods 25,000
Less Closing inventory
raw material ( 19,000)
Work in progress ( 7,000)
Total cost of goods available for sale 587,000
Less closing inventory of finished goods 23,000
Cost of goods sold 564,000
Note that the opening inventory of raw material and work in progress would increase the manufacturing cost while their respective closing inventory represent cost incurred on production during the period on inventories not yet completed
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:

Explanation:
The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearset hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))
Here is the complete question.
State of the Economy Probability of Percentage Returns
the States
Economic recession 25% 5%
Moderate economic growth 55% 10%
Strong economic growth 20% 13%
The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))
Answer:
standard deviation from investing in the asset is: 2.76
Explanation:
From the information given above; the main task to do is to calculate for the standard deviation from investing in the asset ,but in order to do that; we must first determine the expected return value and the variance.
The expected return can either be the profit or loss the investor predict to get after investing on an instrument. It can be determined by multiplying the potential outcomes by the chances of them occurring and then totaling these results.
Here;
the potential outcome = Probability of the States
chances of them occurring = Percentage Returns
∴
Expected return = (0.25 × 5%) + (0.55 × 10%) + (0.20 × 13%)
Expected return = (1.25 + 5.5 + 2.6)%
Expected return = 9.35%
Variance = 0.25 × (5% - 9.35%)² + 0.55 × (10% - 9.35%)² + 0.20 × (13% - 9.35%)²
Variance = 0.25 ( -4.35%)² + 0.55 (0.3575%)² + 0.20 (3.65%)²
Variance = 0.0473 + 0.0023 + 0.0266
Variance = 0.0763
Finally; the standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{variance}[/tex]
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt {0.0763[/tex]
standard deviation = 0.276
To the nearest hundredth percent and by answering in the percent format without including the % sign ; we have
standard deviation = 2.76
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
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
Bond A pays $8,000 in 20 years. Bond B pays $8,000 in 10 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, which means the $8,000 is the only payment the bondholder receives.)
Suppose the interest rate is 7 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately_______ , and the value of Bond B is approximately_______ .
Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately_________ , and the value of Bond B is approximately________ . Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a_______ percentage than Bond B's value. The value of a bond__________ when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are _________sensitive to changes in the interest rate.
Answer:
To find the value of bond, let's use the formula:
Value of bond = price of bond / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
Here n represents number of years.
At 7% interest rate:
Value of bond A = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^2^0} = 2067.35[/tex]
Value of bond B = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^1^0} = 4066.79[/tex]
At 14% interest rate:
Value of bond A = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^20} = 582.09 [/tex]
Value of bond B = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^10} = 2157.95 [/tex]
The difference between bond A at 7% and 14%:
$582.09 - $2067.35 = -$1485.26
The difference between bond B at 7% and 14%:
$2157.95 - $4066.79 = -$1908.84
% decrease between bond A and B:
[tex] \frac{1908.84 - 1485.26}{1908.84} * 100 = 22.19 [/tex]
Therefore, from the above calculations, we have the following:
Suppose the interest rate is 7%, Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately $2067.35, and the value of Bond B is approximately $4066.79 .
Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately $528.09 , and the value of Bond B is approximately $2157.95 .
Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a 22.19 percentage than Bond B's value.
The value of a bond decreases when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate.
If he goes to college, he will spend $22,000 on tuition, $11,000 on room and board, and $1,700 on books. If he does not go to college, he will earn $12,000 working in a store and spend $6,000 on room and board. Taio's cost of going to college is
Answer:
$40,700
Explanation:
To determine Taio's cost of going to college you need to find the economic cost that involves all the costs that you need to cover to receive a benefit and the opportunity costs that refer to what you would have received if you had chosen a different alternative. According to this, Taio's cost is equal to all the acounting costs related to going to college plus the opportunity costs that are the benefits lost from the other option which was not going to college.
Accounting costs= $22,000+$11,000+$1,700= $34,700
Opportunity costs= $12,000-$6,000= $6,000
Taio's cost of going to college is equal to the acount costs plus the opportunity costs:
$34,700+$6,000= $40,700

Retained earnings, Nov. 30, 2017 $35,100
b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:
1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)
= $32,900/$884,000 x 100
= 3.72%
2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)
= $269,700/$884,000 x 100
= 30.51%
c. If the net sales increases by 15%, the Net sales = $1,016,600 ($884,000 x 1.15)
If Gross profit increases by $40,443, the Gross profit = $310,143 ($269,700 + $40,443)
If Expenses increase by $58,600, the total operating Expenses = $282,400 ($223,800 + $58,600)
Revised Net Income:
Gross Profit $310,143
Total operating expenses (282,400)
Income from operations $27,743
Other revenues:
Gain from Disposal of Plant Assets $2,000
Other expenses:
Interest Expense ($5,000)
Income before Income Taxes $24,743
Income Tax Expense ($10,000)
Net Income After Taxes $14,743
b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:
1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)
= $14,743/$1,016,600 x 100
= 1.45%
2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)
= $310,143/$1,016,600 x 100
= 30.51%
d. With the proposed changes, the gross profit rate remains the same (without any impact) because the net sales increased by the same rate (15%) as the cost of goods sold and the gross profit.
However, the net income reduced drastically, especially with the income tax remaining the same amount.
Thus, without the income tax effect, there is no merit in this proposal as it reduced the net income margin from 3.72% to 1.45%.

Sheridan Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that cost $66 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 725 units at $69 each and 364 units at $71 each. Sheridan Company also sold 1198 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of ending inventory? (Round average cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 21.48.)
Answer:
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
Explanation:
To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.
Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month
Total cost of all units:
Beginning inventory (485 * 66) 32010
Purchase 1 (725 * 69) 50025
Purchase 2 (364 * 71) 25844
Total 107879
Total Units
Beginning Inventory 485
Purchase 1 725
Purchase 2 364
Total 1574
Average cost per unit = 107879 / 1574
Average cost per unit = $68.54
Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198 = 376 units
Value of closing inventory = 376 * 68.54
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

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.
Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $370, the unit variable cost is $300, and the total fixed costs are $1,001,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $410. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units
Answer:
a. 14,300 units
b. 9,100 units
Explanation:
a. For computation of current break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $370 - $300
= $70
Current break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $70
= 14,300 units
b. For computation of anticipated break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $410 - $300
= $110
Anticipated break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $110
= 9,100 units
So, we have applied the above formula.
lyssa and Crystal are roommates. They spend most of their time studying (of course), but they leave some time for their favorite activities: making pizza and brewing root beer. Alyssa takes 3 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 2 hours to make a pizza. Crystal takes 7 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hours to make a pizza. Alyssa's opportunity cost of brewing a gallon of root beer is__________ , and Crystal's opportunity cost of brewing a gallon of root beer is__________ , has an absolute advantage in brewing root beer, and has a comparative advantage in brewing root beer. If Alyssa and Crystal trade foods with each other, will trade away pizza in exchange for root beer. The price of pizza can be expressed in terms of gallons of root beer. The highest price at which pizza can be traded that would make both roommates better off is of root beer, and the lowest price that makes both roommates better off is of root beer per pizza.
Answer:
a. 1.5 pizza
b. 1.39 pizza
c. Alyssa has an absolute advantage in brewing beer
d. Crystal has a comparative advantage in brewing beer
e. Crystal will easily trade away pizza for root beer
f. there's no limit to the highest price
g. lowest price is 0.719 beer root/pizza
Explanation:
Alyssa takes 3 hrs to brew a gallon of root beers and 2 hrs to make a pizza
Crystal takes 7 hrs to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hrs to make a pizza
Alyssa make 1 gallon/3 hrs = 0.33 gallons/hr of beer, and the same way makes 0.5 pizza/hr
Crystal makes 0.143 gallon/hr of beer, and 0.2 pizza/hr
for Alyssa, 0.33 gallons/hr = 0.5 pizza/hr, therefore
1 gallon of beer = 0.5/0.33 = 1.51 pizza
for crystal, 1 gallon of beer = 0.2/0.143 = 1.39 pizza
price of pizza:
Alyssa = 0.662 root beer/pizza
Crystal = 0.719 root beer/pizza
An advance payment of $1,000 for services was received on December 1 and was recorded as a liability. By the end of the year, $400 has been earned. What is the correct adjusting entry that should be include?
Answer:
The answer is "$400"
Explanation:
Given:
advance payment = $ 1,000
by the end of year he earned= $ 400
So, the total eared value is $ 400 because it is the Debit unearned income.
Answer:
Debit unearned revenues for $400
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are journal entries made to record revenues and expenses accounts. These entries are made at the end of an accounting cycle.
Payment received for services on December 1 that was recorded as a liability = $1,000
Amount earned by the end of the year = $400
Therefore,
adjusting entry: Debit unearned revenues for $400 so that expenses matched to the accounting period in which the revenue paying for them is earned.
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
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

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

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

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
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.
