Explanation:
Lionel is an unmarried law student at State University Law School, a qualified educational institution. This year Lionel borrowed $30,000 from County Bank and paid interest of $1,800. Lionel used the loan proceeds to pay his law school tuition. Calculate the amounts Lionel can deduct for higher education expenses and interest on higher-education loans under the following circumstances:
Answer:
Deductible interest expense of $1440 and deductible education expense of $4000.
Explanation:
There are certain tax laws which allows a tax payer to deduct his expenses from the taxable amount. The tax payer can deduct interest expense from the taxable amount since it is a tax shield. Lionel can deduct an interest expense of $1440 from the taxable amount and he can deduct $4000 for his education from the taxable amount.
Prior to May 1, Fortune Company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 140 shares of its common stock on May 1 for $7,000. On July 1, it reissued 70 of these shares at $52 per share. On August 1, it reissued the remaining treasury shares at $49 per share. What is the balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2
Answer: $70
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the purchase price per share and this will be:
= Purchase amount / Number of shares bought
= $7000 / 140
= $50 per share
Therefore, the balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2 will be:
= [70 × ($52 - $50)] + [70 × ($49 - $50)]
= (70 × $2) + ($70 × $-1)
= $140 - $70
= $70
Stage 2 ABC for a Wholesale Company Information is presented for the activity costs of Oxford Wholesale Company: Activity Cost per Unit of Activity Driver Customer relations per month $95.00 per customer Selling 0.11 per sales dollar Accounting 5.00 per order Warehousing 0.50 per unit shipped Packing 0.25 per unit shipped Shipping 0.20 perpound shipped
The following information pertains to Oxford Wholesale Company’s activities in Massachusetts for the month of March 2014:_______.
Number of orders 240
Sales revenue $124,400
Cost of goods sold $ 68,940
Number of customers 30
Units shipped 4,700
Pounds shipped 70,500
Required:
Determine the profitability of sales in Massachusetts for March 2014.
Answer: $20,101
Explanation:
Profitability of sales = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold - Activity costs
Activity costs = Customer relation cost + Selling costs + Accounting + Warehousing + Packing + Shipping
= (95 * 30) + (0.11 * 124,400) + (5 * 240) + (0.5 * 4,700) + (0.25 * 4,700) + (0.2 * 70,500)
= $35,359
Profitability of sales = 124,400 - 68,940 - 35,359
= $20,101

Balance as per Cash Book $603.65
therefore,
the adjusted ledger balance of cash as of August 31 is $603.65
Apple Inc. just paid a dividend of $3 per share. You expect that Apple's dividend will increase at the rate of 10% per year for the next 10 years. After that, you expect that Apple Inc. will increase its dividend at the rate of 3% per year forever. The required rate of return for Apple is 20%. What is the price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid?
Answer:
The price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid is $26.79.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values for year 1 to 10 dividends.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Previous year dividend in year 1 = Dividend just paid = $3
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $19.17617169980840
Year 10 dividend = $7.781227380
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $7.781227380 * (100% + 3%) = $8.0146642014
Price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $8.0146642014 / (20% - 3%) = $47.1450835376471
PV of price at year 10 = Price at year 10 / (100% + Required return)^Number of years = $47.1450835376471 / (100% + 20%)^10 = $7.61419419713817
Price of Apple = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 + PV of price at year 10 = $19.17617169980840 + $7.61419419713817 = $26.79
David is trying to decide if it makes sense to outsource the purchasing function. He has a chain of 12 restaurants and employs two buyers at an annual fixed cost of $85,000. David estimates that the variable cost of each purchase order placed is $15. An outsourced company will perform the purchasing function for a fixed annual fee of $100,000 plus $5 for each purchase order placed. Last year, David placed 1400 purchase orders.
Required:
a. What was the in-house purchasing cost last year?
b. What would the cost be if outsourced?
c. If David estimates it will place 1600 purchase orders next year, should he outsourced?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a) The In-house purchasing cost last year is
= Fixed costs + Variable costs
=$85,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $85,000 + 1400 × 15
= $106,000
b)
The outsourcing cost is
Outsourcing cost = Fixed costs +Variable costs
= $100,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $100,000 + 1400 × 5
= $107,000
c) Total number of purchase orders = 1600
In-house purchasing cost = 85,000 + 1600 × $15 = $109000
Outsourcing cost = $100,000 + 1600 × $5 = $108000
Yes, David should outsource as the outsourcing cost is less than the in-house purchasing cost.

Total cost per unit .................. (C) (I) (O)
Required:
Complete the cost schedule. When computing the cost per unit, round to two decimal places.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Relevant range= 25,000 to 100,000
In this range, fixed and variable (unitary) costs remain constant.
To calculate the unitary values, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= Total variable cost / Total number of units
Fixed cost per unit= Total fixed cost / total number of units
Memory chips produced= 45,000
Total variable cost= $1,350,000
Total fixed cost= 810,000
Variable cost per unit= 1,350,000 / 45,000= $30
Fixed cost per unit= 810,000 / 45,000= $18
Total cost per unit= 30 + 18= $48
Memory chips produced= 60,000
Total variable cost= 30*60,000= $1,800,000
Total fixed cost= 810,000
Total cost= $2,610,000
Variable cost per unit= $30
Fixed cost per unit= 810,000 / 60,000= $13.5
Total cost per unit= 30 + 13.5= $43.5
Memory chips produced= 75,000
Total variable cost= 30*75,000= $2,250,000
Total fixed cost= 810,000
Total cost= $3,060,000
Variable cost per unit= $30
Fixed cost per unit= 810,000 / 75,000= $10.8
Total cost per unit= 30 + 10.8= $40.8

Prepare a statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, using the indirect method.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 using the indirect method.
Cash flow from operating activities:
Net loss = $12,000
Adjustment to reconcile net loss with cash flows from operating activities:
Depreciation = ($20,000 + $10,000 - $13,000) = $7,000
Loss on sale of land = $2,000
Increase in accounts receivable = ($20,000)
Increase in prepaid expense = ($5,000)
Increase in accounts payable = $6,000
Net cash used in operating activities = ($12,000)
Cash flow from investing activities
Sale of land = ($40,000 - $18,000 - $2,000) = $20,000
Sale of equipment = $5,000
Net cash generated by investing activities = $25,000
Cash flow from financing activities
Retirement of bond = ($12,000)
Proceeds from issuance of bonds = $20,000
Net cash used by financing activities = $8,000
Net increase in cash = $6,000
Add: beginning cash balance = $31,000
Ending cash balance = $37,000

• Calculation of depreciation
The accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($20,000)
Hence;
Accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($13,000)
Increase in accumulated depreciation during 2020 = $20,000 - $13,000 = $7,000
Add: accumulated depreciation on equipment sold during 2017 = $10,000
Total depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,000 + $10,000 = $17,000
• Calculation of proceeds from sale of land:
Cost of land = $40,000 - $18,000 = $22,000
Loss on sale of land = $2,000
Therefore,
Proceeds from sale of land = cost of land sold - loss on sale of land
= $22,000 - $2,000
= $20,000
• Calculation of issuance of bonds payable during 2020
The bonds payable at the end of year 2019 = $19,000
Hence,
Bonds payable at the end of year 2020 = $27,000
Retirement of bonds during year 2020 = $12,000
Therefore,
Bonds issued during 2020 = $27,000 + $12,000 - $19,000 = $20,000

Explanation:
Princeton Avionics makes aircraft instrumentation. Its basic navigation radio requires $60 in variable costs and $4,000 per month in fixed costs. Princeton sells 20 radios per month. If the company further processes the radio, to enhance its functionality, it will require an additional $40 per unit of variable costs, plus an increase in fixed costs of $500 per month. The current sales price of the radio is $280. The CEO wishes to improve operating income by $1,200 per month by selling the enhanced version of the radio. In order to meet this target, the sales price to be charged for the enhanced product is
Answer:
Sales price =$405
Explanation:
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Sales revenue after the split-off point y
Sales revenue at the split-off point (280×20) (5,600)
Further processing cost (40× 20)+ 500 (1,300)
Net advantage from further processing 1,200
y-5600-1300=1200
y= 8,100
Sales price= Sales revenue after the split-off point/Number of units
Sales price = 8,100/20 =$405
Sales price =$405

Data on the level of support for corporate sustainability (measured on a quantitative scale ranging from 0 to 160 points) for each of 992 senior managers at CPA firms are saved in CORSUS.txt
a) Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
b) Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
c) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption
Answer:
A) attached below
B) mean value = 67.755, std = 26.871
C) IQR( interquartile range ) = 37
Explanation:
A) Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of normality assumption
Using Minitab to construct the Histogram from the shape of the Histogram we can see that the Normality assumption is valid because the shape is fairly symmetric
screenshot of Histogram is attached below
B) Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
still using Minitab to determine the std and mean values
mean value = 67.755, std = 26.871
Next : find the percentage of the observation that lie within 1,2 and 3 std from the mean
For one(1) std from the mean the interval = ( 40.884, 94.626 )
percentage of observation = 665 / 992 = 67.04
For two(2) std from the mean; The interval = ( 14.013 , 121.497 )
percentage of observation = 946 / 992 = 95.36%
For three(3) std from the mean ; The interval = ( -12.858, 148.368 )
percentage of observations = 991 / 992 = 99.90%
The percentages from the above calculations indicates the validity of the normality assumption
C) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption
using MINITAB
since the data are assumed Normal; Ratio = [tex]\frac{IQR}{S} = 1.3[/tex]
std (s) = 26.871, IQR( interquartile range ) = 37
Next check if IQR / S will be = 1.3
= 37 / 26.871 = 1.377 ( This validates the normality assumption )
During 2017, Waterway Industries expected Job No. 26 to cost $300000 of overhead, $500000 of materials, and $200000 in labor. Waterway applied overhead based on direct labor cost. Actual production required an overhead cost of $290000, $470000 in materials used, and $190000 in labor. All of the goods were completed. What amount was transferred to Finished Goods
Answer:
$945,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount transferred to the finished goods is shown below:
= Material + labor + overhead
= $470,000 + $190,000 + $190,000 × $300,000 ÷ $200,000
= $470,000 + $190,000 + $285,000
= $945,000
hence, the amount transferred is $945,000

Assume a small nation has the following statistics: its consumption expenditure is $15 million, investment is $2 million, government expenditure on goods and services is $1 million, exports of goods and services to foreigners is $1 million, and imports of goods and services from foreigners is $1.5 million. Calculate this nation's GDP
Answer:
GDP= $17,500,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
(C) Consumption expenditure is $15 million
(I) Investment is $2 million
(G) Government expenditure on goods and services is $1 million
(X) Exports of goods and services to foreigners is $1 million
(N) Imports of goods and services from foreigners is $1.5 million
To calculate the GDP, we need to use the following formula:
GDP= C + I + G + (X - N)
GDP= 15 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1.5
GDP= $17,500,000

What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year? b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
Answer:
1-a. Total Contribution margin is $210,000 and Net operating income is $28,000.
1-b. Degree of Operating Leverage = 7.50
2-a. The expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.
2-b. Expected amount of Net Operating Income is $70,000.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 15,000 games last year at a selling price of $20 per game. Fixed costs associated with the game total $182,000 per year, and variable costs are $6 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable costs consist mostly of payments to this contractor.
Required:
1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.
1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.
2. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption:
a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?
b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.
The contribution format income statement for the game last year can be prepared as follows:
Magic Realm, Inc.
Contribution Income Statement
For Last Year
Details Total ($) Per Unit ($)
Sales 300,000 20
Variable cost (90,000) (6)
Contribution margin 210,000 14
Fixed expense (182,000)
Net operating income 28,000
1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.
Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income = $210,000 / $28,000 = 7.50
2-a. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?
Since:
Degree of Operating Leverage = Percentage change in Operating Income / Percentage change in Sales
Substituting the relevant values, we have:
7.50 = Percentage change in Operating Income / 20%
Percentage change in Operating Income = 7.5 * 20% = 150%
Therefore, the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.
2-b. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Change in Net Operating Income = 150% * $28,000 = $42,000
Expected amount of Net Operating Income = Current Net Operating Income + Change in Net Operating Income = $28,000 + $42,000 = $70,000
Which of these statements is true?
Answer:
The answer is C.

On January 1, 2021, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $40,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated 7 year service life is expected to be $12,000. The company expects the equipment to operate for 12,500 hours. Required: a. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using sum-of-the-years’-digits assuming the equipment was purchased on January 1, 2021. b. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using sum-of-the-years’-digits assuming the equipment was purchased on March 31, 2021.
Answer:
Part a
2021 = $7,000
2022 = $6,000
Part b
2021 = $5,250
Explanation:
Sum of the year`s digit method provide for higher depreciation in early life of the asset with lower depreciation in later years.
Step 1
Some of digits calculation :
Year Digits
2021 7
2022 6
2023 5
2024 4
2025 3
2026 2
2027 1
Total 28
Step 2
Determine the depreciable amount
Depreciable amount = Cost - Residual value
= $40,000 - $12,000
= $28,000
Step 3
Depreciation expense calculations
2021 = 7 / 28 x $28,000 = $7,000
2022 = 6/ 28 x $28,000 = $6,000
assuming the equipment was purchased on March 31, 2021
2021 = $7,000 x 9/12 = $5,250
Miltmar Corporation will pay a year-end dividend of $4, and dividends thereafter are expected to grow at the constant rate of 4% per year. The risk-free rate is 4%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. The stock has a beta of 0.75. What is the intrinsic value of the stock
Answer:
$66.67
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
required return = 4% + 0.75 ( 12% - 4%) 10%
4/ 0.1 - 0.04 = $66.67
