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.

Tom and Betsy, who are married filing jointly, reported a standard deduction of $24,000 on their 2018 tax return. They paid $500 to the state for income taxes in 2018. In 2019, they received a $125 refund of state taxes paid in 2018. What is the amount that Tom and Betsy need to report on their 2019 tax return?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since Tom and Betsy didn't itemize their deductions in 2018 (they chose the standard deduction), they didn't include the state taxes in their tax filing. Since the state taxes were not used by Tom and Betsy to reduce their federal income taxes, then any refund will not be included in their current income. Only if state taxes are used to lower federal taxes, do taxpayers need to include any refund.
Champion manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale in the United States. Demand for jackets during the season is normally distributed, with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 10,000. Each jacket sells for $60 and costs $30 to produce. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25 at the year-end clearance sale. Holding jackets until the year-end sale adds another $5 to their cost. A recent recruit has suggested shipping leftover jackets to South America for sale in the winter there rather than running a clearance. Each jacket will fetch a price of $35 in South America, and all jackets sent there are likely to sell. Shipping costs add additional $5 to the cost of any jacket sold in South America, along with the $5 for holding jackets till the end of the season.
Required:
a. Would you recommend the South American option? Support your decision with calculations.
b. How will the South American option affect production and profitability at Champion?
c. On average, how many jackets will Champion ship to South America each season? (Note: you have already calculated this value in order to get the expected profit for the South American option.
Answer:
The question puts

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.

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

Which of the following is LEAST likely to be a cause of long-term secular slowness in increases in U.S. labor productivity? (a) transition of the economy increasingly toward services and away from manufacturing; (b) falling levels of the capital to labor ratio; (c) deglobalization and the shift of production from places outside the U.S. to places within the U.S.; (d) tighter labor markets and the infusion of more and more workers with below-average skills.
Answer:
(c) deglobalization and the shift of production from places outside the U.S. to places within the U.S.
Explanation:
The secular aspect of a trend is the main driver of that trend, and the secular aspect of the slowness in increases in U.S. labor productivity is not deglobalization and the shift of production from outside the U.S. to inside the U.S., since what has been happening in the latest decades is exactly the opposite.
Globalization has led many U.S. jobs, specially in manufacturing, to be shipped away from the country to other places where labor costs are cheaper, like China, Vietnam and Malasya.
We run a delivery service, and we believe our firm has market risk equally between that of UPS and FedEx. We know the following about these 2 firms:______.
Stock Price per share # shares outstanding Market Value of Debt
UPS $65 0.7 billion $ 5 billion
FedEx $55 250 million $ 3 billion
We also have the following data on the securities of these firms:_______.
Beta E Beta D
UPS 0.8 0
FedEx 1.1 0.1
Assume that our firm has risk-free debt with market value $20 million and equity with market value $450 million. Assume that taxes are not relevant. Please estimate our firm’s equity beta
Answer:
The firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The equity beta refers to a beta that considers different levels of debt of a firm. The equity beta is also known as the levered beta or the project beta. The equity beta is therefore different from the asset beta.
Asset beta refers to a beta does not consider debt and assume that the firm uses only equity financing. Asset beta is known as unlevered beta.
The Firm’s equity can be calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of average unlevered beta of the firm
Unlevered beta = Levered beta / (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) ……… (1)
Where for UPS;
Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 0.80
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of debt = $5 billion
Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $65 * 0.7 billion = $45.50 billion
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
UPS unlevered beta = 0.80 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (5 / 45.50))) = 0.720792079207921 = 0.72
Where for FedEx;
Levered beta = Beta E = Beta of Equity = 1.10
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of debt = $3 billion
Equity = Market value of equity = Stock Price per share * Number of shares outstanding = $55 * 250 million = $13.75 billion
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FedEx unlevered beta = 1.10 / (1 + ((1 - 0) * (3 / 13.75))) = 0.902985074626866 = 0.90
Therefore, firm’s averaged unlevered beta can be calculated as follows:
Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = (UPS unlevered beta + FedEx unlevered beta) / 2 = (0.72 + 0.90) / 2 = 0.81
Step 2: Calculation of firm’s levered beta
Firms’ levered beta = Firm’s averaged unlevered beta * (1 + ((1 - Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity ratio))) …….. (2)
Where;
Firm’s averaged unlevered beta = 0.81
Tax rate = 0
Debt = Market value of risk-free debt = $20 million
Equity = Market value of equity = $450 million
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Firms’ levered beta = 0.81 * (1 + ((1 - 0) * (20 / 450))) = 0.846 = 0.85
Since from the definitions above, the equity beta is also known as the levered beta, the firm’s equity beta is therefore equal to 0.85.
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).
What is the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016 to reflect the revised estimate.
(If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).) Record the adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016.
Answer:
Dr Amortization expense 5.50
Cr Accumulated Amortization - Patent 5.50
Explanation:
Preparation of Journal entries to Record the adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016
Van Frank Telecommunications
Dr Amortization expense 5.50
Cr Accumulated Amortization - Patent 5.50
(To record amortization of patent)
Calculation for the Amortized expense
Cost of the asset $19.80
Annual amortization $2.20
($19.80 / 9 years)
Amortization till date (2012-2015) $8.80
($2.20*4)
Unamortized value ($19.80-$8.80) $11.00
Remaining life 2 years
Amortized expense ($11.00/2) $5.50
Debiting $1.65 million from Patent Amortization Expense and crediting $1.65 million from Accumulated Patent Amortization would be the adjusting entry.
After the estimate revision, the yearly amortization will be $3.30 million ($19.80 million cost of the patent x 6 years).
Debiting Patent Amortization Expense by $1.65 million and crediting Accumulated Patent Amortization by $1.65 million would be the adjustment item for 2016. The projected useful life of the patent has changed, necessitating an adjustment entry to the annual amortization expense, which is reflected in this item.

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

The forecasts are based on sales of the current year and the next year.
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
Assume General Electric Company agreed in May 2016 to construct a nuclear generator for NSTAR, a utility company serving the Boston area. General Electric Company estimated that its construction costs would be $960 million. The contract price of $1,200 million is to be paid as follows: $400 million at the time of signing; $400 million on December 31, 2016; and $400 million at completion in May 2017. General Electric incurred the following costs in constructing the generator: $384 million in 2016 and $576 million in 2017.
Required:
Compute the amount of General Electric's revenue, expense, and income for both 2016 and 2017, and for both years combined, under the cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. Enter dollar amounts in millions.
Answer:
date revenue costs
May 2016 $400
Dec. 2016 $400 $384 / $960 = 40%
May 2017 $400 $576 / $960 = 60%
Revenue recognized during 2016 = $1,200 x 40% = $480 million
Expenses recognized during 2016 = $384 million
Income recognized during 2016 = $480 - $384 = $96 million
Revenue recognized during 2017 = $1,200 x 60% = $720 million
Expenses recognized during 2017 = $576 million
Income recognized during 2017 = $720 - $576 = $144 million
Combined years:
Revenue recognized = $1,200 million
Expenses recognized = $960 million
Income recognized = $240 million

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 $1,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $5,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year. (use the 2016 tax rate schedules).
1. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
2. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
3. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
Answer:
KINDLY CHECK EXPLANATION
Explanation:
Given that :
Marc's salary = 64000
Michelle's salary = 12000
Interest received from municipal bond = $350
Interest received from corporate bond = $500
TOTAL AMOUNT OF DEDUCTION FROM AGI:
ACCORDING TO 2016 TAX RATE : MARRIED FILING JOINTLY STANDARD DEDUCTION = $12,600 (higher than itemized deduction ($6000)
Dependency exemption = $4050 (2016 tax schedule)
Hence, total deduction from AGI = $(12600 + (3 * 4050)) = $24,750
Their Gross Income :
(Salary + interest from municipal and corporate bonds)
$(64000 + 12000 + 500) = $76,500
TAXABLE INCOME = Gross income - total debt deduction on AGI - (contribution to individual retirement + alimony paid to spouse)
TAXABLE INCOME = $(76,500 - 24750 - (2500 +1500))
$(76500 - 24750 - 4000) = $47750
Mattola Company is giving each of its employees a holiday bonus of $200 on December 13, 20-- (a nonpayday). The company wants each employee's check to be $200. The supplemental tax percent is used.
Nobody has capped for OASDI prior to the bonus check.
a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.
b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.
Answer:
a. Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84
b. Net amount of each bonus = $129.10
Explanation:
Since the supplemental tax percent is used, the following are the relevant tax rates to be applied in the calculations:
STP = Supplemental tax percent = 25%
FICASO = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) social security tax = 6.2%
FICAM = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Medicare tax = 1.45%.
SIT = State income tax = 2.8%
We therefore proceed as follows:
a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.
Given the tax rates above, the following formula is used to calculate the gross amount of each bonus:
Gross amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount / (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Gross amount of each bonus = $200/ (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)
Gross amount of each bonus = $200 / 64.55%
Gross amount of each bonus = $309.837335398916
To the nearest cent which implies to two decimal places, we have:
Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84
b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.
The net amount of each bonus can be calculated using the following formula:
Net amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount * (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:
Net amount of each bonus = $200 * (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)
Net amount of each bonus = $200 * 64.55%
Net amount of each bonus = $129.10
when the business cycle or economic activity is declining the economy is said to be what
Answer:
Contraction
Explanation:
Contraction is when the level of economic activities in a country goes down. There is decreased productivity in the country, as indicated by a decline in the GDP value. At contraction, the economy will experience a drop in real incomes, retail sales, and industrial production. The unemployment rate begins to rise steadily as companies stop hiring while other lay-off workers due to reduced demand.
On January 1, 2020, Meeks Corporation issued $5,000,000, 10-year, 4% bonds at 102. Interest is payable annually on January 1. The journal entry to record this transaction on January 1, 2020 is
a. Cash........................................................................................ 5,000,000
Bonds Payable............................................................... 5,000,000
b. Cash........................................................................................ 5,100,000
Bonds Payable............................................................... 5,100,000
c. Premium on Bonds Payable ................................................... 100,000
Cash........................................................................................ 5,000,000
Bonds Payable............................................................... 5,100,000
d. Cash........................................................................................ 5,100,000
Bonds Payable............................................................... 5,000,000
Premium on Bonds Payable .......................................... 100,000
Answer:
d. Cash........................................................................................ 5,100,000
Bonds Payable............................................................... 5,000,000
Premium on Bonds Payable .......................................... 100,000
Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Cash Dr, $5,100,000 ($5,000,000 × 1.02)
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.
