Answer:
Unit Production Cost for Materials = $1.5 per unit
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = $2 per unit
Explanation:
Materials Conversion
Beginning WIP 0 0
Started and Completed 39,000 39,000
Ending WIP (19,000*30%) 19,000 5,700
Equivalent Units 58,000 44,700
Cost Incurred $87,000 $89,400
Unit Production Cost for Materials = Cost / Equivalent units
Unit Production Cost for Materials = $87,000 / 58,000
Unit Production Cost for Materials = $1.5 per unit
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = Cost / Equivalent units
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = $89,400 / 44,700
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = $2 per unit
The City of Waterville applied for a grant from the state government to build a pedestrian bridge over the river inside the city’s park. On May 1, the city was notified that it had been awarded a grant of up to $200,000 for the project. The state will provide reimbursement for allowable expenditures. On May 5, the special revenue fund entered into a short-term loan with the General Fund for $200,000 so it could start bridge construction. During the year, the special revenue fund expended $165,000 for allowable bridge construction costs, for which it submitted documentation to the state. Reimbursement was received from the state on December 13, 2017.

Regency Inn leased a rental office in the lobby of its hotel to Americar, a car rental agency. Wagner rented a car from Americar, and while walking through the hotel parking lot to reach her rental car, she was robbed and raped. Wagner sued Regency Inn for damages, alleging that they maintained a public nuisance. A clause in the lease held that Americar was responsible to indemnify Regency Inn for any damages suffered due to the operation of the car rental agency. At the time of the assault on Wagner, Americar was a holdover tenant.
Can Regency Inn claim indemnification under these conditions? Wagner v. Regency Inn Corp., 463 N.W.2d 450 (1990).
Answer:
The court ruled against both Americar and Regency Inn, and then Regency Inn won its case against Americar. The nuisance case itself is pretty unpleasant, so it's not worth referring to it.
The fundamentals for the ruling against Americar were that they themselves had drafted the lease agreement and that the clause included in the lease agreement by which they agreed to indemnify Regency Inn was valid. The original lease term had already expired, but Americar continued to lease the offices on a monthly basis. Since they never left the place, the clauses in the original agreement were still valid even though the lease changed to a monthly basis. I.e. if you sign a lease contract and after the original contract is over, you continue to lease the same place, then the clauses from the original contract still apply.
The clause stated that Americar was liable for damages that took place on the leased premises or in their proximity, i.e. the area near their offices. The parking lot was considered to be in the proximity of Americar's offices.

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process.
1. The company has amortized the $19.80 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis, since it was acquired at the beginning of 2012.
2. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost.
3. The decision was made at the end of 2016 (before adjusting and closing entries).

Debit Amortization Expense - Patent $4,400,000
Credit Accumulated Amortization-Patent $4,400,000
To record the revised amortization expense for the year.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Patent's value on January 1, 2012 = $19,800,000
Patent's assessed lifespan = 9 years
Amortization expense for each year on straight-line = $2,200,000 ($19,800,000/9)
Accumulated Amortization for Patent = $6,600,000 (for 3 years)
Net book value of patent = $13,200,000 ($19,800,000 - $6,600,000)
Revised lifespan = 6 years
Revised amortization expense per year = $4,400,000 ($13,200,000/3)
Dom has $90,000 that he wishes to invest now in order to use the accumulation for purchasing a retirement annuity in five years. After consulting with his financial advisor, he has been offered four types of fixed-income investments, labeled as investments A, B, C, and D.
Investments A and B are available at the beginning of each of the next five years (call them years 1–5). Each dollar invested in A at the beginning of a year returns $1.20 (a profit of $0.20) two years later, in time for immediate reinvestment. Each dollar invested in B at the beginning of a year returns $1.36 three years later.
Investments C and D will each be available just once in the future. Each dollar invested in C at the beginning of year 2 returns $1.66 at the end of year 5. Each dollar invested in D at the beginning of year 5 returns $1.12 at the end of year 5.
Your uncle is obligated to make a balloon payment on an existing loan in the amount of $24,000 at the end of year 3. He wants to make that payment out of the investment account.
1) Devise an investment plan for your uncle that maximizes the value of the investment account at the end of five years. How much money will be available for the annuity in five years?
2) Show the network diagram corresponding to the solution in (1). That is, label each of the arcs in the solution and verify that the flows are consistent with the given information.
Answer:
First of all, you must invest enough money in B in order to pay your debt.
present value = future value / expected return
present value = $24,000 / $1.36 = $17,647.06
you have $90,000 - $17,647.06 = $72,352.94 to invest in A.
at the end of year 2, you will have:
future value = present value x expected return = $72,352.94 x $1.20 = $86,823.53
then you should invest that money ($86,823.53) in invested D and at the end of year 4 you will have:
future value = $86,823.53 x $1.66 = $144,127.06
finally, you should invest $144,127.06 in investment E and at the end of ear 5 you will have:
future value = $144,127.06 x $1.12 = $161,422.31
2) it is really hard to draw a diagram without drawing tools, but i will try
⇒ invest $17,647.06 in B ⇒ year 3, collect $24,000
from B and pay off debt

Answer and Explanation:
We refer to balance sheet figures for each company stated above to retrieve figures for our calculations and use the following formulas for calculations:
For return on assets= net imcome/total assets
For rate of return on shareholders equity =net income/equity
For equity multiplier= total assets/ total equity
For acid-test ratio=liquid assets/current liabilities
For current ratio =current assets/current liabilities
For receivables = credit sales /acct receivables and inventory turnover ratios=cost of goods/inventory
For times interest earned ratio=ebit/interest expenses
leased the asset on a 2-year lease, the payment would be $110 at the begin- ning of each year. If RC borrowed and bought, the bank would charge 10% interest on the loan. In either case, the equipment is worth nothing after 2 years and will be discarded. Should RC lease or buy the equipment?
Answer:
you should purchase the asset using a bank loan
Explanation:
in order to compare both options, we need to determine the present value of each alternative:
present value of lease costs:
cash flow year 0 = $110
cash flow year 1 = $110
PV = $110 + $110/1.1 = $110 + $100 = $210
present value of purchasing the equipment:
cash flow year 0 = $0
cash flow year 1 = $115.24
cash flow year 2 = $115.24
PV = $200
if you consider the tax shield of leasing = ($220 - $200) x tax rate = $20 x 40% = $8
the tax shield of interest expense = ($230.48 - $200) x tax rate = $30.48 x 40% = $12.19
It doesn't matter how you analyze this, buying is a better and cheaper option. The problem with leasing is that you need to make an immediate payment, while if you borrow money, then the first payment is made in the future. The time value of money is different.

g you are eligible for a 30 year fixed rate home mortgage with 3.6% interest rate what is the maximum loan you can get
Answer:
the maximum loan is $379,417
Explanation:
The computation of the maximum loan is shown below:

= $1,725 × 219.9517
= $379,417
hence, the maximum loan is $379,417

You are considering four hotels that differ from each other with respect to their price and customer reviews:
Answer: H4
Explanation:
Looking at the reviews given per price, a conclusion can be made that the higher the price of staying in the hotel, the higher the ratings given which would imply that the hotels charging higher, have better amenities.
This does not hold for H4 however as they are charging more than H1 but still getting the same reviews as them.
This could either mean that H1 is efficient enough to be getting the same rating for the same price as H4 or that H4 is inefficient such that they are not utilizing their amenities enough to get a higher rating than H1 who they should be better than.
Either scenario point to inefficiency on H4's part.

Number of actual apps completed 2604 1600
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate and efficiency variances for (a) 14 PT staff and (b) the SD staff hired in June.
b. Comment on the efficiency of the PT and SD staff hired by Empire Mortgage.
Answer:
a. Labor variances for 14 PT staff:
Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)
= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604
= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate
= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50
= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50
= $26,040 (Unfavorable)
Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance
= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)
= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)
Labor variances for 10 SD staff:
Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)
= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600
= $3840 (Unfavorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate
= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45
= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45
= $14,400 (Favorable)
Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance
= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)
= $10,560 (Favorable)
Question 6 of 10
Which economic tool would most likely be used as part of a contractionary
monetary policy?
A. Lowering interest on reserves
B. Reducing the discount rate
C. Raising the reserve requirement
D. Buying treasury securities
Answer:
C. Raising the reserve requirement
Explanation:
Contractionary monetary policy refers to the Fed's action of reducing money supply in the economy. Reducing the money supply slows down the economy, thereby countering expansion and inflationary pressures. Raising the reserve requirement is one tool that the Fed uses as a contractionary monetary policy.
Reserve requirements refer to the percentage of customer deposits that the Fed requires commercial banks to maintain at all times. An increase in reserve requirement decreases the money available for banks to lend out. Reduced lending means a decrease in the money supply, which results in a decline in the inflation rate.

If the price level increases by 2 percent each year, the inflation rate is increasing. a. True b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Inflation refers to the general rise in prices of goods and services in an economy. It erodes the value of currency because with inflation, one is able to buy less goods.
If the inflation rate increases by 2% each year then the inflation rate is not increasing. The inflation rate is remaining constant at 2%. The inflation rate would be increasing if the prices increased by 2% then by 4% then by 6%. That way the inflation rate would be increasing by 2% every year.
If the rate at which prices are increasing is constant then, the inflation rate is the same.
