Answer:
weighted moving average
Explanation:
Of all these 4 options, the weighted moving average is the most accurate, as it is possible to place specific weights according to their significance.
The other techniques, such as an average, straight line, or exponential curve, assume things. The weighted average can change to any form.
However, the weighted average can be complicated to use if a long time frame is taken.
Additionally, the consumer will most likely want to adjust the weights as time periods pass. That will contribute to the complexity of applying the methods to a wide range of applications, such as predicting inventory item demand.
Hence, the first option is correct
At the end of 2021, Larkspur Co. has accounts receivable of $653,700 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $24,200. On January 24, 2022, it is learned that the company’s receivable from Madonna Inc. is not collectible and therefore management authorizes a write-off of $4,245.
A) Prepare the journal entry to record the write-off.
Credit
Enter an account title Enter a debit amount Enter a credit amount
What is the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable before the write-off and after the write-off?
Before Write-Off After Write-Off
Cash realizable value $ $
Answer:
January 24, 2022, Madonna Inc.'c account is written off
Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 4,245
Cr Accounts receivable 4,245
the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable account:
before the write off = $653,700 - $24,200 = $629,500after the write off = ($653,700 - $4,245) - ($24,300 - $4,245) = $629,500The net balance of the account does not change because the allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account that already decreased the accounts receivable balance.
Carlos opens a dry cleaning store during the year. He invests $30,000 of his own money and borrows $60,000 from a local bank. He uses $40,000 of the loan to buy a building and the remaining $20,000 for equipment. During the first year, the store has a loss of $24,000. How much of the loss can Carlos deduct if the loan from the bank is nonrecourse
Answer:
$30,000
$6,000
Explanation:
Carlos risk = $30,000
Carlos risk of $30,000 is the amount of funds which he had invested in the course of his business which is why Carlos is not considered at-risk for the nonrecourse loan reason been that carlos is not found liable because the loan was not used in the business which makes him to have a risk of $30,000.
$24,000 loss that occured will reduces Carlos’ amount at-risk to $6,000
($30,000 - $24,000)
=$6,000

Here is the complete question:
friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:
1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
The value of f is:
2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).
The value of s is:
3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.
The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is
1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.
The value of f is: 12
2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks
s = 1.090
The value of s is: 1.090
3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:
U = s/(s+f)
= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)
= 1.090/13.090
= 0.08327
Stockholders’ equity of ABC Company consists of 88,000 shares of $5 par value, 10% cumulative preferred stock and 320,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Both classes of stock have been outstanding since the company’s inception. ABC did not declare any dividends in the prior year, but it now declares and pays a $165,000 cash dividend at the current year-end. Determine the amount distributed to each class of stockholders for this two-year-old company.
Answer:
Explanation:
Calculation of dividend amount for the preferred shareholders
Preferred Dividend =Per value of share * Dividend rate * Number of years
=88,000*5 * 10% * 2\
=$88,000
Thus cash dividend paid to common shareholder is $88,000
Calculations of cash dividend amount for common shareholder
Common share dividend= $165,000 - $88,000
=$77,000
Thus cash dividend paid to common shareholder is $77,000

Find the value of C, which makes the following two cash flow series equivalent. Assume that the market interest rate is 6% per year. Note: There are multiple approaches to solving this problem so be sure to consider the computational efficiencies of each approach before starting! $400 $400 $400 $400 $400 $125 $125 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 o 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -$250 $250 $250
Answer:
Find attached complete question.
$ 750.10
Explanation:
In order to ascertain the value of C ,we need to equate the present value of the two streams of cash flows to each other as follows:
first stream:
$400/(1+6%)^1+$400/(1+6%)^2+$125/(1+6%)^3+$400/(1+6%)^4+$400/(1+6%)^5+$125/(1+6%)^6+$400/(1+6%)^7=$1,808.19
Second stream:
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7
-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5=-$594.74
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7=C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651
simplification
C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651=C/(0.9434+0.8900+0.7050+0.6651)= 0.31216C
All in all:
$1,808.19 =-$594.74+ 0.31216C
$1,808.19+$594.74= 0.31216C
$2402.93 = 0.31216C
C=$2402.93* 0.31216 =$ 750.10
Specialization and the gains from trade make the economy PPF outward bowed because _______. A. a good is initially produced by producers with higher opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with lower opportunity costs B. all producers have bowed-out PPFs, and the economy PPF is the horizontal sum of the individual PPFs C. as more of a good is produced, people are willing to pay less for each additional unit of the good D. a good is initially produced by producers with lower opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with higher opportunity costs
Answer:
A. a good is initially produced by producers with higher opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with lower opportunity costs
Explanation:
The production possibility frontier is a curve that shows the two combinations of goods and services produced in an economy.
Because of trade a country can specialise in the production of goods for which it has a lower opportunity cost in its production and import goods for which it has a higher opportunity cost.
This makes the ppf bowed out as the country produces more of the good for which it has a lower opportunity cost and less of the good for which it has a higher opportunity cost.

Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000. The break-even point in units is
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000.
First, we need to calculate the proportion of sales:
Product A= 7,500/10,000= 0.75
Product B= 2,500/10,000= 0.25
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the break-even point in units:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/ (0.75*33 + 0.25*56)
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/38.75
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units

Answer: Apple's need to continually innovate
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
may seem surprising that the CEO selected to replace Steve Jobs was hired from within the firm. When considering who to appoint as CEO, the board had to consider many factors. What condition existed at Apple that would have suggested a preference to hire from outside?
a. Apple's need to reverse recent poor performance
b. Appreciation of Apple's culture and core values
c. Apple's need to continually innovate
d. The need for the CEO to know the firm's core competencies as well as be able to develop new ones
Answer:
In 2011, after the resignation of Steve Jobs resigned as the Chief Executive Officer of Apples, Tim Cook became the chairman of the board, and was named as the new chief executive officer of Apple Inc.
Steve Cook was already working with Apple and he knew the culture and core values and it'll be easier to develop be ones as he knew the firm's core competencies.
The condition that existed at Apple which would have suggested a preference for them to hire from outside will be the need to continually innovate.
The company's culture focuses on
the maintenance of a high level of innovation which involves creativity coupled with a mindset which challenges standards and conventions. In line with the innovation value, hiring from outside might have been preferable.
Brian and Kim have a 12-year-old child, Stan. For 2019, Brian and Kim have taxable income of $52,000, and Stan has interest income of $4,500. Click here to access the income tax rate schedules. If Stan's parents elected to report Stan's income on his parents' return, what would the tax on Stan's income be?
Answer:
The answer is $393
Explanation:
Solution
In this case, we will find the tax on Stan's income which is stated below:
Stan's adjusted gross income = 4500
The standardized deduction = 1050
The unearned taxable income = 3450
With ordinary rate, the less statutory deduction is = 1050
The taxable income that is subject to his parent's rate = 2400
The tax with ordinary rate = (1050 * 10%) =105
The Tax with parent's rate is = (2400 * 12%) = 288
Hence,
The tax on Stan's income would be = 105 + 288 = $393
Note: Kindly find an attached copy of the Tax rate schedules as part of the question to this solution

City Auto Parts recently traded in store fixtures. The exchange had commercial substance. The old fixtures had a cost of $48,000 and accumulated depreciation of $14,000. City paid $101,000 for the new store fixtures. These new fixtures had a market value of $117,000. There is a loss of $18,000 on this exchange.True or False
Answer:
The correct option is true
Explanation:
The book value of the old fixtures at the date of exchange which is the cost less accumulated depreciation till date is computed thus:
Book value of old fixtures=$48,000-$14,000=$34000
Expected cash payable by the company for the new fixtures is the market value of the new fixtures minus the carrying value of the old fixtures.
Expected cash=$117,000-$34,000=$83,000.00
Loss on the exchange =cash paid -expected cash payable=$101,000-$83,000=$18000
e Department of Traffic Security of a city is considering the purchase of a new drone for aerial surveillance of traffic on its most congested streets. A similar purchase 4 years ago cost $950,000. At an interest rate of 7% per year, what is the equivalent value today of the previous $950,000 expenditure?
Answer:
The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21
Explanation:
The equivalent today of the 950,000 would be the future value compounded at 7% per year.
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
FV - ?, PV - value 4 years ago, n- number of years, r- rate of return
PV - 950,000, n- 4, r-7%
FV = 950,000 ×(1.07^4)= 1,245,256.21
The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21

On the basis of this information, find the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016.
Answer:
The annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%
Explanation:
In order to Calcualte the Holding Period Return for 2012 through 2016
we would have to use and calculate the following formula :
HPR = [(P1-P0) +D] / P0
P0 = Beginning value of stock = $39.26
P1 = The closing value of stock = $111.07
D = Dividends received during the year =($0.75 + $0.99 + $0.96 + $1.65 + $2.05) = $6.40
Substituting all the values in the formula , we will get Holding period return
HPR = [($111.07 - $39.26) + $6.40] / $39.26
= $78.21/ $39.26
= 1.9921
= 199.21%
Therefore, the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%

5)
December 31, 2018, second coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 36,446
Dr Premium on bonds payable 8,554
Cr Cash 45,000
Explanation:
bonds price = PV of face value + PV of coupons
PV of face value = $1,000,000 / 1.03²⁰ = $553,675.75
PV of coupon payments = $45,000 x 14.8775 (annuity factor 3%, 20 payments) = $669,487.50
issue price = $553,675.75 + $669,487.50 = $1,223,163.25 ≈ $1,223,163
Dr Cash 1,223,163
Cr Bonds payable 1,000,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 223,163
amortization coupon 1 = $45,000 - ($1,223,163 x 3%) = $45,000 - $36,695 = $8,305
amortization coupon 2 = $45,000 - ($1,214,858 x 3%) = $45,000 - $36,446 = $8,554
Consider a country where all money is currently held as cash and the money supply has a value of $2,200. A banking system is developed, and the residents of the country deposlt the $2,200 of cash into the banking system and decide they no longer want to hold any cash. If the reserve ratio is equal to 4%, then the banking system has the ability to create $_________ money supply in the economy will be equal to $__________
Answer: the banking system has the ability to create $52,800 of new money and the money supply in the economy will be equal to $55,000
Explanation:
To find out how much new money was created or rather how much can be created you can use the Money Multiplier. The money multiplier enables one to see how much money can be created in an economy given a certain reserve ratio.
The Money Multiplier is calculated by,
= 1/reserve requirement
Multiplying the Money Multiplier with the initial deposit in the bank gives the amount that that deposit can create.
With a Reserve Requirement of 4%, the Money Multiplier is,
= 1/4%
= 25
The Amount of money created in the economy is therefore,
= 25 * 2,200
= $55,000
The amount of New Money created will be the amount created less the initial deposit,
= 55,000 - 2,200
= $52,800
Suppose the income elasticity of demand is -0.5 for good X. This implies that a 5% decrease in income will cause the quantity demanded of good X to a. increase by 2.5%, and X is an inferior good. b. decrease by 2.5% and X is a normal good. c. increase by 10% and X is an inferior good. d. decrease by 10% and X is a normal good.
Answer:
a. increase by 2.5%, and X is an inferior good.
Explanation:
The income elasticity of demand is the ratio between the percentage change in demand and the percentage change in income.
The change in demand caused by a 5% decrease in income is:
[tex]-0.5=\frac{\%\ change\ demand}{\%\ change\ income} \\-0.5=\frac{D}{-5\%} \\D=+2.5\%[/tex]
Demand will increase by 2.5%. A good whose demand increases when consumer income decreases is called an inferior good.
Therefore, the answer is a. increase by 2.5%, and X is an inferior good.

Under IAS 38 , Internally generated goodwill are not recognized as no related cost is incurred towards achieving a future benefit
Laworld Inc. manufactures small camping tents. Last year, 200,000 tents were made and sold for $60 each. Each tent includes the following costs: Direct materials $18 Direct labor 12 Manufacturing overhead 16 The only selling expenses were a commission of $2 per unit sold and advertising totaling $100,000. Administrative expenses, all fixed, equaled $300,000. There were no beginning or ending finished goods inventories. There were no beginning or ending work-in-process inventories. Required: 1. Calculate (a) the product cost for one tent and (b) the total product cost for last year. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: (a) Prepare an income statement for external users. (b) Did you need to prepare a supporting statement of cost of goods manufactured? Explain. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). (a) What effect does this have on the income statement? (b) Prepare a cost of goods sold statement.

Laworld Inc.
Income Statement
Total revenue $12,000,000
Cost of goods sold:
Direct materials $3,600,000Direct labor $2,400,000Manufacturing overhead $3,200,000Total COGS ($9,200,000)
Gross profit $2,800,000
Operating expenses:
Sales commissions $400,000Advertising expenses $100,000Administrative expenses $300,000Total operating expenses ($800,000)
Net profit from operations $2,000,000
(b) Did you need to prepare a supporting statement of cost of goods manufactured? Explain.
No, since the COGS were fairly simple (no beginning or ending inventory) you can just squeeze the information.3. Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). (a) What effect does this have on the income statement?
Both gross profit and net profit would increase since COGS would be lower: COGS = (10,000 x $40) + (190,000 x $46) = $9,140,000, which is $60,000 less.(b) Prepare a cost of goods sold statement.
Incurred costs:
Direct materials $3,600,000
Direct labor $2,400,000
Manufacturing overhead $3,200,000
Cost of goods manufactured $9,200,000
Beginning inventory of finished units $400,000
Ending inventory of finished units ($460,000)
Cost of goods sold $9,140,000
Explanation:
revenue = 200,000 x $60 = $12,000,000
manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $18 x 200,000 = $3,600,000Direct labor $12 x 200,000 = $2,400,000Manufacturing overhead $16 x 200,000 = $3,200,000total = $9,200,000product cost per unit = $18 + $12 + $16 = $46
S&A expenses:
sales commission of $2 x 200,000 = $400,000advertising totaling $100,000administrative expenses $300,000total $800,000You have $13,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 11.45 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y
Answer:
You should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Explanation:
These can be estimated as follows:
PER = (ERX * wX) + (ERY * wY) ....................... (1)
Where,
PER = Portfolio expected return = 11.45%, or 0.1145
ERX = Expected return of X = 13%, or 0.13
ERY = Expected retun of Y = 8%, or 0.08
wX = Weight of X = ?
wY = Weight of Y = 1 - wX = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
0.1145 = [0.13 * wX] + [0.08 * (1 - wX)]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + [0.08 - 0.08wX]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + 0.08 - 0.08wX
0.1145 - 0.08 = 0.13wX - 0.08wX
0.0345 = 0.05wX
wX = 0.0345 / 0.05
wX = 0.69
Since wY = 1 - wX
Therefore,
wY = 1 - 0.69
wY = 0.31
Total amount to invest = $13,000
Investment in stock X = Amount to invest * 0.69 = $13,000 * 0.69 = $8,970
Investment in stock Y = Amount to invest * 0.31 = $13,000 * 0.31 = $4.030
Therefore, you should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.

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.
Answer:
Elegant Limited
Depiction of the Association and Cardinality for the Sales of Cars based on the REA Model:
1. Association: This is about the relationships that exist among the economic elements involved in the REA model. They are Economic Resources, Economic Events, and Economic Agents. These elements interact during each business transaction in such interconnected processes that business transactions cannot be complete without any element.
For example, the economic resources during the sale of a car at Elegant Limited are 1) a car and 2) money. These are exchanged between Elegant Limited and the customer and vice versa. In the same light, an economic event takes place during the exchange of either a car or money. While a car is a physical resource (asset), money is a financial resource (asset). For each of these two events, the economic agents who must interact are the workers at Elegant Limited and the customer whether private buyers or investors.
2. Cardinality: This refers to the elements that are involved in the REA model. They are three as already described. They are Economic Resources, Economic Events, and Economic Agents. No business transaction is complete where any element is not present. So, these elements are cardinal in the relationship.
Explanation:
The REA model is an accounting system re-engineering model originally proposed by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model. It contains the concepts of resources, events and agents (McCarthy 1982).
The model views accounting data collection as a system to collect data about the resources, events, and agents within business processes, thereby suggesting that the basic data collected should be about the resources, events, and agents involved in an exchange.
Jeanie acquires an apartment building in 2008 for $280,000 and sells it for $480,000 in 2019. At the time of sale there is $60,000 of accumulated straight-line depreciation on the apartment building. Assuming Jeanie is in the highest tax bracket for ordinary income and the Medicare tax on net investment income applies, how much of her gain is taxed at 28.8 percent?
Answer:
$60,000
Explanation:
According to section 1250 of the Internal Revenue Service, the depreciation previously allowed as a deduction would now be taxed in the case of ordinary income at the highest tax level.
And, For this, the asset should be depreciated real property.
In the question, there is depreciation charged for apartment building so the same is eligible
The eligibility is allowed up to $60,000 and the same is to be considered

D-List Calendar Company specializes in manufacturing calendars that depict obscure comedians. The company uses a standard cost system to control its costs. During one month of operations, the direct materials costs and the quantities of paper used showed the following:
Actual purchase price
$0175 per page
Standard quantity allowed for production
170,000 pages
Actual quantity purchased during month
200,000 pages
Actual quantity used during month
185,000 pages
Standard price per page
$0.17 per page
1. Total cost of purchases for the month
2. Materials price variance
3. Materials quantity variance
4. Net materials variance
Answer:
1. Total cost of purchases for the month
= actual purchases x actual price = 200,000 pages x $0.175 per page = $35,0002. Materials price variance
= (actual unit cost - standard unit cost) x actual quantity used = ($0.175 - $0.17) x 185,000 = $925 unfavorable3. Materials quantity variance
= (actual quantity used - standard quantity allowed) x standard price = (185,000 - 170,000) x $0.17 = $2,550 unfavorable
4. Net materials variance
= materials price variance + materials quantity variance = $925 + $2,550 = $3,475 unfavorableExplanation:
Actual purchase price $0.175 per page
Standard quantity allowed for production 170,000 pages
Actual quantity purchased during month 200,000 pages
Actual quantity used during month 185,000 pages
Standard price per page $0.17 per page
