Prince Electronics, a manufacturer of consumer electronic goods, has five distribution centers in different regions of the country. For one of its products, a highspeed modem priced at $330 per unit, the average weekly demand at each distribution center is 70 units. Average shipment size to each distribution center is 350 units, and average lead time for delivery is 2 weeks. Each distribution center carries 2 weeks' supply as safety stock but holds no anticipatory inventory.a. On average, how many dollars of pipeline inventory will be in transit to each distribution center?b. How much total inventory (cycle, safety, and pipeline) does Prince hold for all five distribution centers?
Answer:
a. $231,000
b. 2,450 units
Explanation:
a. On average, how many dollars of pipeline inventory will be in transit to each distribution center?
This is the inventory level that has to be in transit every 2 weeks in order to meet average demand. This can be calculated as follows:
Pipeline inventory = Number of distribution centers * Price per unit * Average weekly demand * Average delivery lead time = 5 * $330 * 70 * 2 = $231,000.
Therefore, the dollars of pipeline inventory that will be in transit to each distribution center is $231,000.
b. How much total inventory (cycle, safety, and pipeline) does Prince hold for all five distribution centers?
Inventory in hand = Average shipment size * Number of distribution centers = 350 * 5 = 1,750
Safety inventory = Number of distribution centers * Average weekly demand * Average delivery lead time = 5 * 70 * 2 = 700
Note: Safety inventory is the inventory held in the store for the purpose of meeting rise in demand or for overcoming delay in supply.
Inventory cycle = Inventory in hand - safety inventory = 1,750 - 700 = 1,050
Pipeline inventory = Number of distribution centers * Average weekly demand * Average delivery lead time = 5 * 70 * 2 = 700
Total inventory held = Inventory cycle + Safety inventory + Pipeline inventory = 1,050 + 700 + 700 = 2,450 units.
Therefore, the total inventory (cycle, safety, and pipeline) Prince holds for all five distribution centers is 2,450 units.
Groups of 18th century skilled artisans formed secret societies for two basic reasons. Which of the following is one of those reasons?
1. to equalize their relationship with their employers
2. to distinguish themselves from carpenters and shoemakers
3. to gain control of the German government
4. to avoid having to set minimal standards for their crafts
Answer:
1. To equalize their relationship with their employers.
Explanation:
This took place in the 18th century, stated to have happened about the late 70's as it was known that artisans slowly started becoming the new kings.
Their trades which ranges from cabinetmaking, baking, butchering, goldsmithing, silversmithing, carpentry, tailoring and also shoemaking.
These workforce were either wage earners, they start as craftsmen and grow to become great entrepreneurs and this got eyes on them causing them to form cults for themselves only to equalize their relationship with their employers.
Austin Fisher contributed land, inventory, and $32,000 cash to a partnership. The land had a book value of $59,000 and a market value of $103,000. The inventory had a book value of $70,900 and a market value of $65,900. The partnership also assumed a $42,000 note payable owed by Fisher that was used originally to purchase the land. Required: Provide the journal entry for Fisher's contribution to the partnership. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Answer:

NB: Capital= ($32,000 + $103,000 + $65,900 - $42,000) = $158,900
The Riteway Ad Agency provides cars for its sales staff. In the past, the company has always purchased its cars from a dealer and then sold the cars after three years of use. The company’s present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives:
Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $27,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole:
Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing $ 4,300
Repairs, first year $ 2,200
Repairs, second year $ 4,700
Repairs, third year $ 6,700
At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.
Lease alternative: The company can lease the cars under a three-year lease contract. The lease cost would be $70,000 per year (the first payment due at the end of Year 1). As part of this lease cost, the owner would provide all servicing and repairs, license the cars, and pay all the taxes. Riteway would be required to make a $15,000 security deposit at the beginning of the lease period, which would be refunded when the cars were returned to the owner at the end of the lease contract.
Riteway Ad Agency’s required rate of return is 20%.
Required:
1. Use the total-cost approach to determine the present value of the cash flows associated with each alternative. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
The present value of purchase is $ 209,907.41
The present value of lease is $ 153,773.15
Find attached spreadsheet.
Explanation:
The present of value of both options need to be calculated in order to determine the viable option:
Present value of purchase=($27,000*10)+($4,300+$2,200)/(1+20%)^1+($4,300+$4,700)/(1+20%)^2+($4,300+$6,700)/(1+20%)^3-($27000*10*0.5)/(1+20%)^3=$209,907.41
Present value of lease option=$15,000+$70,000/(1+20%)^1+$70,000/(1+20%)^2+$70,000/(1+20%)^3-$15,000/(1+20%)^3=$ 153,773.15
Pincus Associates uses the allowance method to account for bad debts. During 2021, its first year of operations, Pincus provided a total of $156,000 of services on account. In 2021, the company wrote off uncollectible accounts of $6,300. By the end of 2021, cash collections on accounts receivable totaled $132,300. Pincus estimates that 10% of the accounts receivable balance at 12/31/2021 will prove uncollectible.
Required:
1. & 2. What journal entry did Pincus record to write off uncollectible accounts during 2021 and to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Answer: the answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that the account receivable ending balance was calculated as:
Credit sales = 156,000
Less: collection of account= 132,300
Less: written off = 6,300
= 17,400
The bad debt expense was calculated as:
= (17,400 × 10%) + 6300
= (17400 × 0.1) + 6300
= 1740 + 6300
= 8040
