Reese, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December, she received a $22,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Reese can pay the $22,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume Reese’s marginal tax rate is 32 percent this year and will be 37 percent next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 6 percent on her investments. a. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $22,000 bill in December?

Answers

Answer:

$14,960

Explanation:

Pay $22,000 bill in December:

$22,000 tax deduction × 32%marginal tax rate = $7,040 in present value tax savings.

After-tax cost= Pretax Cost − Present Value

Tax Savings= $22,00 − $7,040

= $14,960

Therefore the after-tax cost if she pays the $22,000 bill in December will be $14,960

Answer:

$ 14,960.00  

Explanation:

By paying the $22,000 in settlement of the accrued bills payment,Reese would have a tax savings equal to the 32% of the amount paid since the payment is tax deductible,the payment would reduce taxable income by $22,000,in effect reduce tax payable by $7,040 (32%*$22,000).

All in all,the after tax cost of the payment is the actual payment of $22,000 less tax savings of $7,040.

After tax cost of bills=$22,000-$7,040=$ 14,960.00  

Escents, a body lotion manufacturer from Canada, negotiated a contract with a shea butter company in Mali, Africa, to supply 40% of the needed shea butter for its products. The negotiations ended, and the process of moving shea butter supplies across Mali to the coast for shipping began. Along the way, there were delays because trucks would be stopped by washed-out roads or faulty bridges. What challenge did Escents discover with working in a less-developed country like Mali

Answers

Answer: Infrastructure Challenge.

Explanation:

A major problem in developing countries is insufficient and often damaged infrastructure. There are lack of roads and other mean of access to quite some areas in the country and those routes that do have road networks sometimes see trade still hampered by damage to those road networks.

Sometimes there would be potholes that require careful maneuvering and sometimes the roads would be washed out. In this case Escents is experiencing Dela due to washed-out roads or faulty bridges which are examples of infrastructural damage.

First Class, Inc., expects to sell 29,000 pool cues for $13 each. Direct materials costs are $3, direct manufacturing labor is $5, and manufacturing overhead is $0.83 per pool cue. The following inventory levels apply to 2019: Beginning inventoryEnding inventory Direct materials24,000 units24,000 units Work-in-process inventory0 units0 units Finished goods inventory1,200 units2,800 units What are the 2019 budgeted costs for direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead, respectively

Answers

Answer:

Direct material= $91,800

Direct labor= $153,000

Manufacturing overhead= $25,398

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 29,000 pool cues

Direct materials costs are $3

direct manufacturing labor is $5

manufacturing overhead is $0.83 per pool cue

Beginning inventory Direct materials= 24,000 units

Ending inventory Direct materials= 24,000 units

Finished goods inventory Beginning= 1,200 units

Finished goods inventory Ending= 2,800 units

First, we need to determine the number of units to be produced:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 29,000 + 2,800 - 1,200

Production= 30,600 units

Direct material= 30,600*3= $91,800

Direct labor= 30,600*5=$153,000

Manufacturing overhead= 30,600*0.83= $25,398

Dickson Co. has asked you to help the select a backhoe. You have a choice between a wheel-mounted version which costs $50,000 and has a life of 5 yrs with a salvage value of $3,000 or a track mounted version which costs $80,000 and has a life of 8 yrs with a salvage value of $5,000. Both machines will have the same productivity and operating costs. If the MARR is 10% which machine will you recommend?

Answers

Answer:

The wheel mounted version should be purchased because it has lower equivalent annual cost

Explanation:

To determine which back hole is better, we will compare the the equivalent annual cost of the two and then select the lower of the two:

Equivalent annual cost = Present value of cost /Annuity factor

Present value of Wheel mounted

PV of salvage value = 3,000 × 1.1^(-5)= $1862.76

Total present value = 50,000 + $1862.76 =

Annuity factor = (1-1.1^(-5)/0.1) = 3.790786769

Equivalent annual cost =51862.76/ 3.7907 = $13,681.26

Present Value f Track mounted version =

PV of salvage value = 2,332.536901

Annuity factor =( 1-1.1^(-8)/0.1) = 5.334926

Total present value of cost = 80,000 + 2,332.536901 = 82332.5369

Equivalent annual cost =82,332.53 /5.33492=$15,432.741

Equivalent annual cost of wheel mounted  =$ 13,681.26

Equivalent annual cost of track mounted=$15,432.741

The wheel mounted version should be purchased because it has lower equivalent annual cost

A delivery company is considering adding another vehicle to its delivery fleet; each vehicle is rented for $300 per day. Assume that the additional vehicle would be capable of delivering 1,500 packages per day and that each package that is delivered brings in $0.30 in revenue. Also assume that adding the delivery vehicle would not affect any other costs.
Required:
a) What are the MRP and MRC?
b) Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $600 per day. What are the MRP and MRC?
Should the firm add a delivery vehicle under these circumstances? Yes/No

Answers

Answer:

a) MRP = $450

MRC = $300

b)  MRP = $450

MRC = $600

No

Explanation:

a) Marginal revenue product (MRP) is the change in revenue created due to an increase in resources.

MRP = Revenue change /  additional input

The revenue change as a result of adding one vehicle= 1500 packages/day * $0.3 = $450. The additional input is 1 vehicle

MRP = Revenue change /  additional input = $450 / 1 = $450

Marginal revenue cost (MRC) is the change in cost as a result of additional resource.

MRC = Change in resource cost / additional input

Since adding a vehicle is rented at $300/day, the Change in resource cost is $300.

MRC = $300 / 1 = $300

b) MRP = Revenue change /  additional input = $450 / 1 = $450

MRC = Change in resource cost / additional input =  $600 / 1 = $600

The firm should not add a delivery vehicle because the MRC exceeds the MRP, therefore the firm would be at a loss

Company A sold merchandise with a list price of $4,200 and costing $2,300 on account to Company B.
The sale was subject to the following terms: FOB destination, 2/10, n/30.
Company A prepays the freight costs of $85 (debit Delivery Expense for the freight costs).
Prior to payment for the goods, Company A issues a credit memo for $750 to Company B for merchandise costing $425 that is returned.
Company A received payment from Company B within the discount period.
Company A uses a perpetual inventory system.

Which of the following statements is true about the amount Company A receives from Company B for the sale?

a. None of these answers are correct.
b. The invoice amount is greater than $3,500 and less than $3,600.
c. The invoice amount is greater than $3,400 and less than $3,500.
d. The invoice amount is greater than $3,300 and less than $3,400.
e. The invoice amount is greater than $2,700 and less than $2,800.
f. The invoice amount is greater than $3,100 and less than $3,200.
g. The invoice amount is greater than $2,900 and less than $3,000.
h. The invoice amount is greater than $3,000 and less than $3,100.
i. The invoice amount is greater than $3,200 and less than $3,300.
j. The invoice amount is greater than $2,800 and less than $2,900.

Answers

Answer: d. The invoice amount is greater than $3,300 and less than $3,400.

Explanation:

The terms of the sale are FOB destination, 2/10, n/30. This means that company B will get a 2% discount if they pay in 10 days, if not, they will have to pay in 30 days.

The goods were sold at a list price of $4,200.

Company B returned $750 according to the Credit memo from Company A.

This reduces the transaction amount by that credit memo,

= 4,200 - 750

= $3,450

It is stated that Company B paid within the discount period which was 10 days so they get the discount for a total balance of,

= 3,450 * (1 - 2%)

= $3,381

The answer therefore is option D.

Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf​ course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals200minus2​q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what​ Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special​ deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at ​$40​, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the​ Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using​ two-part pricing? The​ profit-maximizing membership fee​ (F) is ​$ nothing. ​(Enter your response as a whole​ number.)

Answers

Answer:

$3200

Explanation:

MC = Marginal Cost

MR = Marginal Revenue

p = 200 – 2q

The profit-maximizing membership fee​ is equal to the total surplus

So, Number of rounds played by joe,

P = MC = 40 = 200 - 2q

40 = 200 - 2q

q = 160/2 = 80

and, T.S = 1/2*(vertical intercept of demand curve - MC)*Quantiy of rounds

T.S = 1/2*(200-40)*80

= 6400

So, the maximum membership FEE (F) = $6400 .

If Firm Charge singe price , then it will provide rounds such MR = MC

TR = P*Q = (200 - 2Q)*Q

MR = dTR/dQ = 200 - 4Q

Equating MR = MC

200 - 4Q = 40

Q = 160/4 = 40

P = 200 - 2Q = 200 - 2*40 = 120

So, Profit if charge single price = TR - TC = PQ - MC*Q = (P-MC)*Q = (120-40)*40 = $3200

So, Increase in Profit = Membership fee - Profit if charge single price

= $6400 - $32000

= $3200

Rene is the manager at an event and catering company. He has just received a request for proposal (RFP) for managing the City Arts Festival. The organization that managed the event and all event volunteers in past years has raised its rates considerably and the city can no longer afford to hire them. Rene would like to submit a proposal to manage the City Arts Festival. The proposal will be quite lengthy because the event draws over 200,000 people, spans three days, and has a large budget. Which type of proposal should Rene submit in this situation

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Formal proposal".

Explanation:

Usually, formal proposals become prepared for bigger projects, here as in the case the expenditure demand is high, there is a huge amount of participants as well as the plan will be extensive, so formal proposals have become an easy option because informal proposals are made for projects too.Grant applications should never be posted here since they are usually sent to a grant seeking agency or entity. That is just not Rene 's goal in this.

With milk sales sagging of late, The Milk Processor Education Program (MPEP) decided to move on from the famous "Got Milk" ad slogan in favor of a new one, "Milk Life." The new tagline emphasizes milk's nutritional benefits, including its protein content.
MPEP began collecting data on the number of gallons of milk households consumed weekly (in millions), weekly price per gallon, and weekly expenditures on milk advertising (in hundreds of dollars) for the period following the launch of the new campaign. These data, in forms to estimate both a linear model and log-linear model, are available via the link below. Use these data to perform two regressions; a linear regression and a log-linear regression.
Suppose that the weekly price of milk is $3.40 per gallon and MPEP decides to ramp up weekly advertising by 35 percent to $150 (in hundreds). Use the best-fitting regression model to estimate the weekly quantity of milk consumed after this advertising increase.

Heather deposited $1,700 at her local credit union in a savings account at the rate of 9.8% paid as simple interest. She will earn interest once a year for the next 13 years. If she were to make no additional deposits or withdrawals, how much money would the credit union owe Heather in 13 years? $1,882.93 $3,865.80 $266.60 $5,731.65

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer in this case is $3865.8

Explanation:

The first thing to do is to calculate the on the principal in thirteen years' time using the below formula:

I=PRT

I is the interest which is unknown

P is the principal of $1700

R is the rate of interest of 9.8%

T is the length of the deposit which is 13 years

I=1700*9.8%*13=$2165.8

The total amount owed by the credit union in 13 years=principal+interest

                                                                                          =$1,700+$2,165.8

On December 31, 2021, Wildhorse, Inc. leased machinery with a fair value of $1,425,000 from Cey Rentals Co. The agreement is a 6-year noncancelable lease requiring annual payments of $270,000 beginning December 31, 2021. The lease is appropriately accounted for by Wildhorse as a finance lease. Wildhorse’s incremental borrowing rate is 11%. Wildhorse knows the interest rate implicit in the lease payments is 10%. The present value of an annuity due of 1 for 6 years at 10% is 4.7908. The present value of an annuity due of 1 for 6 years at 11% is 4.69590.In its December 31, 2021 balance sheet, Wildhorse should report a lease liability of:_______

Answers

Answer:

$1,023,516

Explanation:

The computation of the lease liability reported is shown below:

= Present value of annual payment - Annual payments

where,

Present value of annual payment = 270000 × 4.7908

= $1,293,516

And, the annual payment is $270,000

So, the lease liability reported is

= $1,293,516 - $270,000

= $1,023,516

We simply applied the above formula to determine the lease liability

Sadler Corporation purchased equipment to be used in manufacturing. The purchase was made at the beginning of 2015 by paying cash of $150,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $10,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. At the beginning of 2017, Sadler concluded that the total useful life of the equipment will be 8 years rather than 10, and that the residual value will be zero. Sadler uses the straight-line method for depreciation.
Required:
a) Prepare the journal entry to record depreciation on the equipment for 2016.
b) Prepare the journal entry to record depreciation on the equipment for 2017 including the effect of the changes in estimates.

Answers

Answer:

a) Debit Depreciation expense  $14,000

   Credit Accumulated depreciation  $14,000

Being entries to record depreciation expense for 2016

b) Debit Depreciation expense  $26,666.67

   Credit Accumulated depreciation  $26,666.67

Being entries to record depreciation expense for 2017

The effect of a change in estimate is a reduction of the annual depreciation from $14,000 to $26,666.67 (increase of $12,666.67) annually

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

Annual depreciation

= (150,000 - 10,000)/10

= $14,000

At the beginning of 2017,

Net book value of asset

= $150,000 - 2($14,000)

= $124,000

If  Sadler concluded that the total useful life of the equipment will be 8 years rather than 10, and that the residual value will be zero.

Depreciation expense for 2017

= $124,000/6

= $26,666.67

Machinery purchased for $66,000 by Metlock Co. in 2016 was originally estimated to have a life of 8 years with a salvage value of $4,400 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been entered for 5 years on this basis. In 2021, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 10 years with a salvage value of $4,950 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.

Required:
a. Prepare the entry to correct the prior year's depreciation, if necessary.
b. Prepare the entry to record depreciation for 2021.

Answers

Answer:

a. Prepare the entry to correct the prior year's depreciation, if necessary.

When an asset's useful life is extended, the extension is done prospectively, not retrospectively. This means that past depreciation does not need to be adjusted.

b. Prepare the entry to record depreciation for 2021.

Dr Depreciation expense 4,510     Cr Accumulated depreciation - machinery 4,510

Explanation:

purchase cost of machinery $66,000

estimated useful life 8 years

estimated salvage value $4,400

depreciation has been recorded using the previous basis during the first 5 years, but now the estimated useful life was extended to 10 years and the salvage value = $4,950

depreciation expense per year (during first 5 years) = ($66,000 - $4,400) / 8 = $7,700 per year

accumulated depreciation up to year 5 = $7,700 x 5 = $38,500

the carrying value of the asset on January 1, 2021 = $66,000 - $38,500 = $27,500

the new depreciation expense per year = ($27,500 - $4,950) / 5 = $4,510

In recent years, banks have encouraged their customers to save by giving incentives to join programs that automatically transfer money from checking accounts to savings accounts. For example, a bank might offer to round debit transactions to the nearest dollar, transferring the change to one's savings account, and then boost this amount with a match of a certain amount. Although these programs were intended to encourage customers to save, some economists are not very enthusiastic about these programs. Which of these describe why the economists would be concerned? a. Economists fear that saving money would trigger consumers to spend more in the near future. b. The program was offered during an expansionary time period; consumers were not worried about saving their money. c. Some economists believe the automatic transfers could lead to overdrafts. d. Economists believe consumers would not be willing to transfer the money from their checking account to their savings account.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the economists believe consumers would not be willing to transfer the money from their checking account to their savings account.

Explanation:

From the given question, the statements that best describe why the economists would be concerned is  that, the economists believe consumers would not be willing to transfer the money from their checking account to their savings account.

In recent times, bank have encouraged it's customers to join programs that would be of benefit to them such as transferring money automatically from their checking accounts to savings. these programs was designed to benefit he customers into saving money, but economists had this believe that customers might not be willingly to transfer money into their savings account from the checking account which might have resulted to doubt and trust for the bank.

Businesses, individuals, and governments often need to raise capital, while others have surplus funds. In a well-functioning economy, capital flows efficiently from those with surplus capital to those who need it. Transfers can take place in 3 ways (indirect, direct) transfers without going through any type of financial institution, (indirect, direct) transfers through investment banks that underwrite the securities, and indirect transfers through financial (agencies, intermediaries, funds) that create new forms of capital.

Answers

Answer:

1). Direct.

2). Indirect.

3). Intermediaries.

Explanation:

1). Direct Channel: This is explained to be the shortest and simplest channel of direct distribution of goods from manufacturer to customers.

It is called as zero level channel of distribution as it does not involve any intermediary.

2. Indirect Channel: When a manufacturer employs one or more intermediaries to sell and distribute their product to the customers it is called as indirect selling. In this, goods move from the point of production to the point of consumption through a distribution network.

3). Intermediaries: This is a firm or person(such as a broker or consultant) who acts as a mediator on a link between parties to a business deal, investment decision, negotiation etc.

The Machining Department supervisor has been very pleased with this performance because actual expenditures for January–March have been less than the monthly static budget of $335,000. However, the plant manager believes that the budget should not remain fixed for every month but should "flex" or adjust to the volume of work that is produced in the Machining Department. Additional budget information for the Machining Department is as follows:
Wages per hour $15.00
Utility cost per direct labor hour $1.20
Direct labor hours per unit 0.75
Planned monthly unit production 100,000
Prepare a flexible budget for the actual units produced for January, February, and March in the Machining Department. Assume depreciation is a fixed cost. If required, use per unit amounts carried out to two decimal places. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Answers

Answer:

The total units produced are as follows:

January: 90000 units

February: 100000 units

March: 110000 units

Explanation:

The total units produced are as follows:

January: 90000 units

February: 100000 units

March: 110000 units

Wages for each month are calculated as:

January: Wages = (Units * Direct labor hours per unit) + (hours * wages per hour) = (90000*$0.75) + (22500*$15) = $405000

February: Wages = (Units * Direct labor hours per unit) + (hours * wages per hour) = (100000*$0.75) + (25000*$15) = $450000

March: Wages = (Units * Direct labor hours per unit) + (hours * wages per hour) = (110000*$0.75) + (27500*$15) = $495000

Utilities for each month is:

January: Utility: = (hours * Utility cost per direct labor hour) = 22500 * 1.20 = $27000

February: Utility: = (hours * Utility cost per direct labor hour) = 25000 * 1.20 = $30000

March: Utility: = (hours * Utility cost per direct labor hour) = 27500 * 1.20 = $33000

Since depreciation is fixed and do not flex it is the same for all the months at $60000

The total for each month is:

January: Total = Wages + Utilities + depreciation = $405000 + $27000 + $60000 = $492000

Answers

Answer:

$42,800

Explanation:

The computation of the net income for the year is shown below:

= Service revenue - advertising expense - depreciation expense - insurance expense - rent expense - salaries & wages expense - supplies expense

= $133,000 - $20,600 - $11,900 - $3,100 - $17,300 - $31,400 - $5,900

= $42,800

We simply deduct all the expenses from the service revenue so that the net income for the year could come

considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations. The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent. The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 21 percent. They are evaluating a project that will cost $60,000 and will cash inflows of $20,000, $30,000 and $40,000 respectively for the three years of the project. What is the net present value for this project?

Answers

Answer:

$9230.70

Explanation:

Debt ratio = Debt equity ratio / (Debt equity ratio+1) = 0.46/(0.46+1) = 0.46/1.46

Equity ratio = 1/(Debt equity ratio+1) = 1/(0.46+1) = 1/1.46

WACC = 15.4%×1/1.46+8.9%×(1-21%)×0.46/1.46 = 12.76%

Net present value = 20000/(1+12.76%) + 30000/(1+12.76%)^2 + 40000/(1+12.76%)^3 - 60000 = $9230.70

The following information pertains to Xavier Corp. and its divisions for the year ended 12/31/20: Sales to unaffiliated customers $4,000,000 Intersegment sales of products similar to those sold to unaffiliated customers 900,000 Interest earned on loans to other operating segments 60,000 Xavier and all of its divisions are engaged solely in manufacturing operations. Xavier has a reportable segment if that segment's revenue exceeds a. $490,000 b. $406,000 c. $400,000 d. $496,000

Answers

Answer:

a. $490,000

Explanation:

Segment revenue will be recorded it if exceeds the limit of 10% of total sales .In this question sales made to unaffiliated customers and intersegment saels is the total sales value.

Sales to unaffiliated customers = $4,000,000

Intersegment Sales similar to Sold to unaffiliated customers = $900,000

Total Sales = $4,000,000 + $900,000 = $4,900,000

Segment revenue will be recorded if total sales increases $490.000 ($4,900,000 X 10%)

Carns Company is considering eliminating its small tools division, which reported an operating loss for the recent year of $85,000. Division sales for the year were $1,310,000 and its variable costs were $1,175,000. The fixed costs of the division were $220,000.

Answers

Answer:

$36,000

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Current Loss = $85,000

If we don't consider division, then 45% of fixed cost cab be eliminated and remaining 55% of fixed cost is considered.

Fixed cost to be applied

= $220,000 × 55%

= $121,000

Enhancing in operating loss when division is eliminated

= $121,000 - $85,000

= $36,000

Suppose Chef City manufactures cast iron skillets. One model is a​ 10-inch skillet that sells for $ 32. Chef City projects sales of 650 ​10-inch skillets per month. The production costs are $ 10 per skillet for direct​ materials, $ 3 per skillet for direct​ labor, and $ 4 per skillet for manufacturing overhead. Chef City has 40 ​10-inch skillets in inventory at the beginning of July but wants to have an ending inventory equal to 30​% of the next​ month's sales. Selling and administrative expenses for this product line are $ 1 comma 600 per month. Chef City is budgeted to produce 805 skillets in July. Compute the total amount budgeted for product costs for July.

Answers

Answer:

$13,600

Explanation:

The solution of the total amount budgeted for product costs for July is provided below:-

Budgeted for product costs for July = Number of skillets × (Direct material + Direct labor + Cost of manufacturing overhead)

= 805 × ($10 + $3 + $4)

= 805 × $17

= $13,600

So, we have calculated the  total amount budgeted for product costs for July by using the above formula.
