Answer: $246,000
Explanation:
Merchandise costing $20,000 had been omitted from the Ending Inventory.
Ending inventory is deducted from Cost of Goods sold which means that the Cost of Goods sold was overstated by $20,000.
Cost of Goods sold are subtracted from sales to find Gross Income so if it was overstated then Income was understated by $20,000.
Accrued Revenue is to be added to Income so if it was omitted then income was understated by $50,000.
Income in total was therefore understated by = 20,000 + 50,000
= $70,000
The correcting entry is net of tax so;
= 70,000 * ( 1 - 20%)
= $56,000
Retained earnings will therefore be;
= 190,000 + 56,000
= $246,000

B. Investment B with an NPV of 6.33%.
C. Investment A with an NPV of 10.33%.
D. Investment B with an NPV of 10.33%.
E. Both projects since they have positive NPV's.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Investment A
Cash flow in year 0 = -$150
Cash flow in year 1 = $80
Cash flow in year 2 = $40
Cash flow in year 3 = $40
Cash flow in year 4 = $30
I = 10%
NPV = 6.33
Investment A
Cash flow in year 0 = -$150
Cash flow in year 1 = $40
Cash flow in year 2 = $50
Cash flow in year 3 = $60
Cash flow in year 4 = $55
I = 10%
NPV = 10.33
Project B has a higher NPV and it should be chosen
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Answer:
a. What is the expected value of unit sales for the new product? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole unit.)
Possible Market Reaction Sales Units Probability Expected sales
Low response 20 .30 6
Moderate response 35 .20 7
High response 50 .20 10
Very high response 90 .30 27
Total 50 units
b. What is the standard deviation of unit sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
mean = (6 + 7 + 10 + 27) / 4 = 12.5
variance = {[0.30 x (20 - 50)²] + [0.20 x (35 - 50)²] + [0.20 x (50 - 50)²] + [0.30 x (90 - 50)²]} / 4 = (270 + 45 + 0 + 480) / 4 = 795 / 4 = 198.75
standard deviation = √198.75 = 14.10 units
Kotrick Company has beginning inventory of units and expected sales of units. If the desired ending inventory is units, how many units should be produced?
Answer: $26,000
Explanation:
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Units to be produced - Sales
18,000 = 15,000 + Units to be produced - 23,000
Units to be produced = 18,000 + 23,000 - 15,000
Units to be produced = $26,000

April May June
Budgeted Sales $300,000 320,000 370,000
Budgeted D.M. Purchases $45,000 54,000 60,000
Moorcroft’s sales are 40% cash and 60% credit. Credit sales are collected 30% in the month of
sale, 40% in the month following sale, and 26% in the second month following sale; 4% are
uncollectible. Moorcroft’s purchases are 50% cash and 50% on account. Purchases on
account are paid 40% in the month following the purchase and 60% in the second month
following the purchase.

(b) Prepare a schedule of expected payments for direct materials for June.
(c) Moorcroft’s assistant controller suggested that Moorcroft hire a part time collector to
encourage customers to pay more promptly and to reduce the amount of uncollectible
accounts. Sales are still 40% cash and 60% credit but the assistant controller predicted
that this would cause credit sales to be collected 30% in the month of the sale, 50% in
the month following sale, and 18% in the second month following sale; 2% are
uncollectible.
Prepare a schedule of expected collections from customers for June.
How did these changes impact cash collections? Would it be worth
paying the collector $1,000 per month?
(d) The assistant controller also suggested that the company switch their purchases to 40%
cash and 60% on account to help stretch out their cash payments. There is no
additional interest charge to do this and Moorcroft is still paying their bills on time. There
is no change to the company’s payment pattern.

Schedule of expected collections
For the month of June, 202x
Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000
Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600
Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 40% = $76,800
Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 26% = $46,800
Total cash collections during June = $338,200
b) Month DM purchases
April $45,000
May $54,000
June $60,000
Schedule of expected cash payments for direct materials purchases

The oversupply of hospitals and in-patient beds in the U.S. produced by the Hill-Burton legislation is the result of: A. The advent of managed care B. Change in the focus of medical education C. Technological advances D. Clinical guidelines E. A and C
Answer:
The oversupply of hospitals and in-patient beds in the U.S. produced by the Hill-Burton legislation is the result of:
E. A and C
(A. The advent of managed care and C. Technological advances).
Explanation:
Affordable Care Act produced a managed care system that aligns financial incentives to better care at lower costs. This has eliminated the need for in-patient admissions. This is because the Affordable Care Act also created Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) which in turn are focused on boosting preventive efforts in order to attain quality goals. With preventive healthcare, there is reduced need for in-patient admissions to utilize the hospital beds.
Another factor that has reduced in-patient admissions is the prevailing technological advances, especially in the areas of telehealth and telemedicine. These have also drastically reduced the need for in-patients at hospitals, thus freeing more hospital beds as patients can now receive healthcare services from even remote locations.

Given the following data, what is cost of goods sold as determined by the FIFO method?
Sales 280 units
Beginning inventory 250 units at $6 per unit
Purchases 128 units at $11 per unit
A. $3,080
B. $1,680
C. $2,320
D, $1,830
Answer:
The answer is D. $1,830
Explanation:
FIFO means First in First out.
It is one of the inventory methods along with LIFO(Last in First out), average weighted cost and specific identification.
FIFO literally means the inventory bought first will be the first to be sold. Leaving the last inventories bought as the ending inventory.
In this question, Cost of Sales according to FIFO is:
250 units x $6 = $1,500
30 units at $11 = $330
Total =. $1,830
Therefore, the cost of sales under this method is $1,830

3. 1.17%
4. None of the above
Answer:
Jimmy Choo
a. 4. None of the above
b. 3. 1,172
c. 4. None of the above
Explanation:
1) Data and Calculations:
Leather and metals: $25/pair
Shoe boxes: $1/pair
Shoemaker wages: $10/pair
Variable costs = $36/pair
Selling price to boutique: $100.00
Contribution = $64/pair
2) Fixed Costs and Profit:
Advertising & promotion: $200,000
Executive Salaries $300,000
Total fixed costs = $500,000
Net profit = $140,000
3) Per unit gross marketing contribution:
Marketing cost per unit = $2 ($200,000/100,000 units)
Gross marketing contribution = $64/$2 = 3200%
4) Increase fixed costs by $75,000 to $575,000
Sales unit to sell = Fixed costs + profit/contribution margin per unit
= $575,000 + 140,000 /$64
= 1,172
5) Change in sales:
Change = 1,172 - 1,000 = 172
Percentage change = 172/1,000 x 100 = 17.2%

Assume a project has earnings before depreciation and taxes of $15,000, depreciation of $25,000, and that the firm has a 30% tax bracket. What are the after-tax cash flows for the project
Answer: $12,000
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Earnings before depreciation and taxes = $15,000
Less: depreciation = $25,000
The earnings before tax = -$10,000
Less: taxes at 30% = -$3,000
Earnings after tax = -$13,000
Add: depreciation = $25,000
Cash flow = $25,000 - $13,000
= $12,000

Suppose you save for a down payment on a house by investing $1200 each quarter into an account that gives 3.6% annual interest, compounded quarterly (four times a year). How much will you have after 5 years?
Answer:
FV= $26,167.17
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Quarterly deposit= $1,200
i= 0.036/4= 0.009
n= 5*4= 20
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= quarterly deposit
FV= {1,200*[(1.009^20) - 1]} / 0.009
FV= $26,167.17
The payments you make on your automobile loan are given in terms of dollars. As prices rise you notice you give up fewer goods to make your payments. _____________
Answer:
Explanation:
The scenario in this question happens because the dollar amount you pay for the loan is a nominal value, meaning the face value of when it was issued and not its market value. While the number of goods you give up is a real value. In other words, the goods you give up have a real value which is adjusted for inflation and is measured based on the value of other items. Which is why you notice giving up fewer goods because they are worth more every time.
True or False: Price equals marginal cost is a sufficient condition for profit maximization.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The profit maximizing rule is the rule in which the Marginal cost is equivalent to the Marginal revenue
i.e.
Marginal revenue = Marginal cost
MR = MC
In the case of perfect competition,
P = MC
Price = Marginal cost
For the firms that are price maker, in this the demand is downward and the marginal revenue is below to the demand curve
So
in this,
The price > MR = MC
Therefore this is not a sufficient condition
Hence, the given statement is false
Carlson Bottling Corporation is considering the purchase of a new bottling machine. The machine would cost $300,000 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years with zero salvage value. Management estimates that the new bottling machine will provide net annual cash flows of $52,500. Management also believes that the new bottling machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machines, and thus will reduce downtime. (a) What is the net present value of the project? Assume a discount rate of 9%. (b) How much would the reduction in downtime have to be worth in order for the project to be acceptable?
Answer:
a) initial outlay = -$300,000
net cash flows years 1 - 8 = $52,500
discount rate = 9%
using a financial calculator, NPV = -$9,422, this means that the project should be rejected
b) In order for the project to be accepted, its NPV ≥ 0, therefore, the reduction in downtime should be worth at least $9,422 (at present day dollars).
If we analyze it on a yearly basis, the reduction in downtime should be worth $9,422 / 5.5348 (PV annuity, 9%, 8 periods) = $1,702.32

= 30,000 × $125 + 160,000 × $10
= $3,750,000 + $1,600,000
= $5,350,000
Hence, the overhead applied to supreme is $5,350,000

Answer:
$8,000 gain
Explanation:
the carrying value of the bonds at the time of the redemption:
10 coupon payments were made, so amortization of bond premium = ($40,000 / 20) x 11 = $22,000
carrying value = $1,040,000 - $22,000 = $1,018,000
redemption price = $1,000,000 x 1.01 = $1,010,000
Fox's gain = carrying value - redemption price = $1,018,000 - $1,010,000 = $8,000
Since the carrying value was higher than the redemption value, Fox must report a gain.

A monopolist can sell 200 units of output for $36 per unit. Alternatively, it can sell 201 units of output for $35.80 per unit. The marginal revenue of the 201st unit of output is
Answer:
There is a negative marginal revenue from the sale of 201st units of - $4.2
Explanation:
The marginal revenue is the revenue of the additional unit of output sold. Thus, the marginal revenue is the revenue earned from the 201st unit of the output sold. To calculate the marginal revenue of the 201st unit, we will calculate the total revenue for 200 units and deduct it from the total revenue for 201 units.
Total revenue - 200 Units = 200 * 36 = $7200
Total revenue - 201 Units = 201 * 35.8 = $7195.8
Marginal revenue - 201st unit = 7195.8 - 7200 = - $4.2
There is a negative marginal revenue from the sale of 201st units of - $4.2
On January 1, 1997, Brian’s stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 1997, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, and immediately after this withdrawal the portfolio has a value of $105,000. Twelve months later, the value of the portfolio is $108,000, and Brian adds $3,000 worth of stock to his portfolio. On December 31, 1998, the portfolio is worth $100,000. What is the two-year time-weighted rate of return for Brian’s stock portfolio?
Answer:
1.93%
Explanation:
Time weighed rate can be calculated by using the formula below
TWR = [(1+HPR1)+(1+HPR2)+(1+HPR3) ...(1+HPRn)
TWR = [(1+HPR1)+(1+HPR2)+(1+HPR3) ...(1+HPRn)HPR = (End value - initial value)/end value
For HPR1:
End value = 110000
Initial value = 100000
(110000-100000)/100000
= 10000/100000
= 0.1
1 + 0.1 = 1.1
For HPR2
End value = 108000
Initial value = 105000
3000/105000
= 0.0286
1 + 0.0286
= 1.0286
For HPR3
End value = 100000
Initial value = 108000 + 3000 that was added to make it 111000
(100000-111000)/111000
= -0.0991
1-0.0991
= 0.9009
TWR = (1.1*1.0286*0.9009)-1
= 0.01933
0.0193 x 100
= 1.93%
Broker James has had his license suspended for two years. The licenses of all the broker-associates and salespersons who work for James are
Available Options Are:
A. Revoked, subject to reinstatement after 30 days.
B. Not affected by the suspension
C. Automatically suspended
D. Placed on inactive status
Answer:
D. Placed on inactive status
Explanation:
The reason is that James was jointly responsible for the actions of his broker-associates and salesperson because they were working under his supervision and that's why now as the license of James has been suspended for 2 years, James is no more jointly accountable for the actions of his associates and salesperson. Hence the licenses of associates and salesperson will be placed on inactive status. To reactive they will have to affiliate themselves to a broker who possesses an active license.
