Answer:
Café Med
a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).
b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Lease annual payments = $29,000
First payment date = January 1, 2021
Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.
Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)
Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000
Lifespan of equipment = 13 years
Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113
b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease. This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense. The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.
On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
Answer:
this case tells us about some sort of pressures that accounts feel when financial statements are needed urgently
Explanation:
1) As for using low estimates, this step was wrong on her part. she should have been upfront in her estimates. for the items that she could not estimate there should have been an indication that such items were still under review, instead of doing what she did to give the financial estimate a good look. Using guesses or deliberately using low estimates was a bad idea, GAAP would never condone that.
She should have met with the president and let him know that finalization of the financial statements would not possible within the time frame that he has given. She could have also explain that such delays are normal and she would have given estimates of when the draft internal copy would be made available to him. such steps she took could have resulted in serious consequences for the company
2) I would not inflate or deflate the figures on purpose to make financial statements look better. If it is time to present the draft and final year-end financial statements I will have to tell the truth on the numbers and estimations used and also the reasons for that. i would have explained the constraints that i was facing. if i was still being pressurized by the president, i would have no choice than to call it quits instead of going against the ethics of my profession, since there are both ethical and legal implications to not giving inaccurate financial statements.
1. Calculate the sales commission per unit sold. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar. Use rounded answers in subsequent computations.
Answer: $20
Explanation:
The sales commission is 6% and the selling price per unit is $340.
The Sales commission per unit saved therefore is;
= 340 * 6%
= $20.40
= $20
Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1, 2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.
Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.
Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders
An investor buys a property for $608,000 with a 25-year mortgage and monthly payments at 8.10% APR. After 18 months the investor resells the property for $667,525. How much cash will the investor have from the sale, once the mortgage is paid off
Answer:
$71,520
Explanation:
we must first determine the monthly payment:
monthly payment = present value / annuity factor
present value = $608,000PV annuity factor, 0.675%, 300 periods = 128.46monthly payment = $608,000 / 128.46 = $4,732.99
Then I prepared an amortization schedule using an excel spreadsheet. After the 18th payment, the principal balance is $596,005.
The investor will have $667,525 - $596,005 = $71,520
A small country is collecting more money than it spends. What is MOST likely the fiscal policy stance that this government takes?
expansionary stance
contractionary stance
economic stance
neutral stance
Answer:
Contractionary stance
Explanation:
When the government collects more extra money than it is spending, it signals a robust and fast-growing economy. Contractionary fiscal policy measures are applied to slow down growth and reduce inflationary pressure.
The contractionary fiscal policy is the government's mechanism of reducing the money supply in the economy. The government may reduce its spending in the economy, increase business taxes, or both. These actions decrease the money supply in the economy, which reduces the amount that businesses can borrow to expand. The objective is to lower the aggregate demand, thereby slowing the country's rate of producing new goods and services.

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. They are also able to claim $2,900 in recovery rebate credit ($2,400 for Marc and Michelle and $500 for Matthew). Assume they did not receive the recovery rebate in advance. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules).
A. What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
B. What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?
C. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
D. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
E. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year?
Answer:
I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:
Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500
they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)
contribution to IRA = ($2,500)
alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005
Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100
Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377
Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.
The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877
Refundable tax credits:
$2,000 in child tax credit
$2,900 in recovery rebate credit
total = $4,900
taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.
Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023
Definition of economic costs
Darnell lives in Philadelphia and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $842,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $452,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $38,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Darnell does not operate this piano business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $48,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.
Identify each of Darnell's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling pianos.
Implicit Cost
Explicit Cost
The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer
The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays
The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Complete the following table by determining Darnell's accounting and economic profit of his piano business.

Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
If Darnell's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he( should, should not) stay in the piano business because the economic profit he would earn as an accountant would be $______.
Answer:
1. I grouped the costs into explicit and implicit costs below
2. accounting profit = 89000
3. economic profit = 3000
4. daniel should stay in the piano business
Explanation:
explicit costs include:
1. The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer at $452000
2. The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays at $301000
the implicit costs include:
1. The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant at $48000
2. The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom at $38000
accounting profit:
842000-452000-301000
= 89000
economic profit:
842000-452000-301000-48000-38000 = 3,000
as an accountant economic profit:
48000+38000-89000
= -3000
so he should stay in the piano business so that economic profit would be maximized.

If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount. 2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.
The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.
=2/100 x 300,000
=0.02 x 300,000
=6,000

A financial entity with permission to accept deposits and issue loans is known as a bank. Retail, commercial, and investment banks are just a few of the several sorts of banks. The national government or central bank controls banking in the majority of the world's nations.
Since Italian merchants in the Renaissance formed agreements to borrow and lend money next to a bench, the word bank is derived from the Italian word banco, which means bench. They set the cash down on the bench. Simple financial records have existed since the dawn of time.
Although banks do a variety of tasks, their main responsibility is to collect money from those who have money—known as deposits—pool it, and then lend them to people who need money. Banks act as go-betweens for depositors.

Debby’s Dance Studios is considering the purchase of new sound equipment that will enhance the popularity of its aerobics dancing. The equipment will cost $24,500. Debby is not sure how many members the new equipment will attract, but she estimates that her increased annual cash flows for each of the next five years will have the following probability distribution. Debby’s cost of capital is 13 percent. Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answers using the formula and financial calculator methods.

$5,280 0.2 $1,056
$8,110 0.3 $2,433
$10,370 0.1 $1,307
total 1 $6,332
a) the expected value of each yearly cash flow is $6,332
b) the present value of the expected cash flows = $6,332 x 3.5172 (PV annuity factor, 13%, 5 periods) = $22,270.91 ≈ $22,271
the NPV = -$24,500 + $22,271 = -$2,229
c) Debby should not buy the equipment since the project's NPV is negative.
