Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.
The Talbot Corporation makes wheels that it uses in the production of bicycles. Talbot's costs to produce 180,000 wheels annually are:
Direct materials $36,000
Direct labor $54,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $27,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead $66,000
An outside supplier has offered to sell Talbot similar wheels for $0.80 per wheel. If the wheels are purchased from the outside supplier, $21,000 of annual fixed overhead could be avoided and the facilities now being used could be rented to another company for $51,000 per year. Direct labor is a variable cost. If Talbot chooses to buy the wheel from the outside supplier, then annual net operating income would: __________
Answer:
If the company chooses to buy the wheels, income will increase by $69,000.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total relevant cost of production:
Relevant cost of production:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + avoidable overhead
Total cost= 36,000 + 54,000 + (27,000 + 45,000)
Total cost= $162,000
Now, the total cost of buying the wheels:
Total cost= 180,000*0.8 - 51,000= $93,000
Difference= 93,000 - 162,000= -$69,000
If the company chooses to buy the wheels, income will increase by $69,000.
The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $273,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year the company will receive payment of $650,000. Assume the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case there will be a cash outlay of $595,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $650,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift.
The company should work the extra shift if the cost of capital is between ___________ % and ___________ %
Answer:
19% to 19.7%
Explanation:
Cost of capital is the firm cost of sources of financing. It includes debt, equity and all other sources of finance with keeping the track of their required rate of return. The cost of capital is the expected return which is required by the lenders of fund.
Many assets provide a series of cash inflows over time; and many obligations require a series of payments. When the payments are equal and are made at fixed intervals, the series is an annuity. There are three types of annuities: (1) __________ (2)_________, and (3) __________-. One can find an annuity's future and present values, the interest rate built into annuity contracts, and the length of time it takes to reach a financial goal using an annuity.
Answer:
Fixed annuities
Variable annuities
Indexed annuities
Explanation:
Annuities are defined as contract that pays out regular amounts over time at a particular interest rate.
Usually there is an initial investment of a lumps sum or a series of deposits.
Annuities are classified based on level of risk and payout potential into 3:
- Fixed annuity give out a fixed guaranteed payout amount. The risk is low but the payout is low. Slightly above certificate of deposits.
- Variable annuity is one that gives room for a higher payout but risk is also higher. A set of mutual funds are invested in and payout is dependent on how they perform.
- Indexed annuity gives higher return that is tied to the performance of an index like the S&P 500. The risk is lower than that of variable annuity

N. Return on equity
Answer:
Short-term solvency ratios: 2014 2015
A. Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
2014 = $63,316 / $56,755 = 1.12
2015 = $69,400 / $59,000 = 1.18
B. Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities
2014 = ($63,316 - $26,822) / $56,755 = 0.64
2015 = ($69,400 - $28,100) / $59,000 = 0.7
C. Cash ratio times times = (cash + cash equivalents) / current liabilities
2014 = $23,046 / $56,755 = 0.41
2015 = $25,100 / $59,000 = 0.43
Asset utilization ratios:
D. Total asset turnover = net sales / average total assets
= $349,760 / [($398,011 + $434,000)/2] = 0.84
E. Inventory turnover times = COGS / average inventory
= $241,500 / [($26,822 + $28,100)/2] = 8.79
F. Receivables turnover = net sales / average accounts receivables
= $349,760 / [($13,448 + $16,200)/2] = 23.59
Long-term solvency ratios: 2014 2015
G. Total debt ratio = total liabilities / total assets
2014 = $135,755 / $398,011 = 0.34
2015 = $142,424 / $434,000 = 0.33
H. Debt–equity = total liabilities / total equity
2014 = $135,755 / $262,256 = 0.52
2015 = $142,424 / $291,576 = 0.49
I. Equity multiplier = assets / equity
2014 = $398,011 / $262,256 = 1.52
2015 = $434,000 / $291,576 = 1.49
J. Times interest earned = EBIT / interest expense
= $81,060 / $15,300 = 5.3
K. Cash coverage ratio = (EBIT + non cash expenses) / interest expense
= ($81,060 + $27,200) / $15,300 = 7.08
Profitability ratios:
L. Profit margin = net income / sales
= $49,320 / $349,760 = 0.14
M. Return on assets = net income / average total assets
= $49,320 / [($398,011 + $434,000)/2] = 0.12
N. Return on equity = net income / average total equity
= $49,320 / [($262,256 + $291,576)/2] = 0.18

Answer:
Darby Company
1. Determination of the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____22,000,000
Total fixed costs $_____10,000,000
2. Determination of (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____44 ($22,000,000/500,000)
Unit contribution margin $_____50 ($94 - $44)
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year:
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs/Contribution per unit
= $10,000,000/$50 = 200,000 units
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $11,800,000/$50 = 236,000
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year
Break-even sales (units) to achieve income target = (Fixed costs + Income target)/Contribution per unit
= ($11,800,000 + 15,000,000)/$50
= 536,000
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.

Payton Inc. reports in its Year 7 annual report, sales of $6,544 million and cost of goods sold of $2,618 million. For next year, you project that sales will grow by 3% and that cost of goods sold percentage will be 1 percentage point higher. Projected cost of goods sold for Year 8 will be:
Answer:
The projected cost of goods sold is $2,763 million
Explanation:
The computation of the projected cost of goods sold for the year 8 is shown below:
The Projected cost of goods sold is
= ($6,544 × 1.03 × ($2,618 ÷ $6,544) + 1%)
= ($6,740 × (0.40 + 1%)
= $6,740 × 0.41
= $2,763 million
Hence, the projected cost of goods sold is $2,763 million
The same is to be considered

On December 15, 2013, Rigsby Sales Co. sold a tract of land that cost $3,600,000 for $4,500,000. Rigsby appropriately uses the installment sale method of accounting for this transaction. Terms called for a down payment of $500,000 with the balance in two equal annual installments payable on December 15, 2014, and December 15, 2015. Ignore interest charges. Rigsby has a December 31 year-end. In its December 31, 2013, balance sheet, Rigsby would report:
a. Realized gross profit of $100,000.
b. Deferred gross profit of $100,000.
c. Installment receivables (net) of $3,200,000.
d. Installment receivables (net) of $4,
Answer:
a. Realized gross profit of $100,000.
Explanation:
In 2013, Rigsby Sales Co would realize:
Gross profit percentage = ($4,500,000 - $3,600,000) /4,500,000
Gross profit percentage = 0.20
Gross profit percentage = 20%
Gross profit to be realized is
Gross profit = Installment received * Percentage of gross profit
Gross profit = $500,000*20%
Gross profit = $100,000

Explanation:
What are the limitations and risks of a marketing strategy that does not contemplate the responses of your competitors
Answer:
Throughout the clarification section following, the definition of the given query is explained.
Explanation:
Right, businesses face fierce competition through competitiveness throughout today's time, because it has become extremely necessary for organizations to develop a marketing campaign that makes companies contemplate consumer response.
After all, if any business marketing plan doesn't somehow anticipate competition reaction, then all these threats can occur:
Someone's brand sales should decline as consumers should choose the brand of their rivals. Your company's market position as well as business growth would decline as well as the brand's rivals will rise. Throughout the life cycle of the product, your company will hit the decline point. Your business's share price could decline.Swifty Company purchased equipment for $256,800 on October 1, 2020. It is estimated that the equipment will have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $12,000. Estimated production is 48,000 units and estimated working hours are 20,400. During 2020, Swifty uses the equipment for 600 hours and the equipment produces 1,000 units.
Required:
Compute depreciation expense under each of the following methods. Swifty is on a calendar-year basis ending December 31.
a. Straight-line method for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
b. Activity method (units of output) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
c. Activity method (working hours) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
d. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method for 2022 $enter a dollar amount (e) Double-declining-balance method for 2021
Answer:
a. Straight line method.
Depreciation per annum = ($ 256,800 - $12,000 ) / 8 = $ 30,600.
Depreciation for 2020 = $ 30,600 * ( 3 /12 ) = $ 7,650.
b. Units of output
Depreciation per unit = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 48,000 = $ 5.1
Depreciation for 2020 = 1,000 * $ 5.1 = $ 5,100.
c. Working hours.
Depreciation per hours = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 20,400 = $ 12
Depreciation for 2020 = 600 * $ 12 = $ 7,200.
D. Sum of digits method
Sum of years = 8 ( 8 +1 ) / 2 = 36.
Year - 1 used ( 3 / 12 = 0.25)
Year-2 used ( 12 / 12 = 1 )
Remaining ( 8 - 1 - 0.25 = 6.75)
Depreciation for 2022 = ($ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) * ( 6.75 / 36 )
Depreciation for 2022 = $ 45,900.
e. Double declining balance
Depreciation rate = 200 / 8 = 25 %.
Depreciation for 2020 = $256,800 * 25 % * (3 /12)
Depreciation for 2020 = $16,050.
Depreciation for 2021 = ( $256,800 - $ 16,050) * 25%
Depreciation for 2021 = $60,188.

Explanation:
a worker produced four components during an 8-hour shift in which he earned $96. What is his labor cost per unit?
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Labor cost per unit is the ratio of total labor expense for a period of time divided by the total number of units produced during that period of time. It is given by the formula:
Labor cost per unit = Total money earned during a specified period / number of components produced.
Hence using the formula above, the labor cost per unit of the worker is gotten to be:
Labor cost per unit = $96 / 4 components = $24

Refund liability (beginning balance) = $360,000
Sales = $12,100,000
Cost of merchandise = $8,470,000 (70% * $12,100,000)
Actual returns during the year = $594,000
Returns for prior years = 328,000
Returns for current year = 266,000
Estimated sales returns allowance = 5% for year-end adjusting entry.
Refund liability (beginning balance) = $360,000
Actual return for prior years = (328,000)
Allowance for current year = 591,700
Refund liability (ending balance) = $623,700

Answer:
Total present value= $4,369.14
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Year Cash Flow
1 $1,130
2 $1,000
3 $1,510
4 $1,870
Discount rate= 9%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= Cf/(1+i)^n
PV1= 1,130/1.09= 1,036.70
PV2= 1,000/1.09^2= 841.68
PV3= 1,510/1.09^3= 1,166
PV4= 1,870/1.09^4= 1,324.76
Total present value= $4,369.14

Your firm has taken out a 521,000 loan with 8.6% APR (compounded monthly) for some commercial property. As is common in commercial real estate, the loan is a 5-year loan based on a 15-year amortization. This means that your loan payments will be calculated as if you will take 15 years to pay off the loan, but you actually must do so in 5 years. To do this, you will make 59 equal payments based on the 15-year amortization schedule and then make a final 60th payment to pay the remaining balance.
A. What will your monthly payments be?
B. What will your final payment be?
Answer:
A. What will your monthly payments be?
$5,161.08B. What will your final payment be?
$419,650Explanation:
loan = $521,000
interest rate = 8.6% compounded monthly
loan schedule = 15 years
monthly payment = loan amount / PV annuity factor, 0.7167%, 180 periods* = $521,000 / 100.94786 = $5,161.08
No annuity table will give you the annuity factor for 0.7167%, so you must search for an annuity calculator on the web.
Then I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the balance after the 59th payment (attached file). The balance after the 59th payment is $416,649 + $3,001 in interests = $419,650.

To Bonds payable $5,000,000
To Premium on Bonds payable $100,000
(Being cash is recorded)
Here we debited the cash as it increases the assets and we credited the bonds payable and premium on bonds payable as it also increases the liabilities.
1. Accrual accounting is used by the vast majority of companies. *
O
True
O False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The accrual accounting system is one of the two methods of reporting or recording income and expenses. The other way is the cash system.
In the accrual method, income and expenses are accounted for when they were earned or incurred regardless of whether money changed hands. Sales are reported when goods are delivered, and the invoice is issued even if the customer has not paid.
The accrual system is the standard method of operating for many businesses, big and small. The accrual method matches revenue and income with the time of their respective economic events. The general accounting principles recommend the accrual accounting system for both the private and public sectors.

Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06
