On November 10 of the current year, Flores Mills sold carpet to a customer for $7,300 with credit terms 4/10, n/30. Flores uses the gross method of accounting for cash discounts. What is the correct entry for Flores on November 10?
Answer:
Dr Cash 7,008
Dr Sales discounts 292
Cr Accounts Receivable 7,300
Explanation:
Preparation of the correct entry for Flores on November 17
Based on the information given we were told that Flores Mills sold the amount of $7,300 worth of carpet to a customer which include a credit terms of 4/10, n/30.
Therefore using the gross method of accounting for cash discounts this means that the transaction will be recorded as;
Dr Cash 7,008
(7,300-292)
Dr Sales discounts 292
(4%×$7,300)
Cr Accounts Receivable 7,300
Answer:
Accounts receivable - $7300 Dr.
Sales - $7300 Cr.
Explanation:
Given the following :
Amount carpet was sold = $7,300
Credit terms = 4/10 n/30
Date of sale = November 10
According to the credit terms of the sale, the customers receives a discount of 4% of payment is made within 10 days otherwise customer makes full payment. In other to make record of the purchase using the gross method of accounting on the same day, record is taken without deduction of the discount attached to the sale until payment is made.
Account receivable is debited with the sales price as payment has not yet been made and sales is credited with the equivalent amount.
A project has an initial cost of $17,700 and produces cash inflows of $7,200, $8,900, and $7,500 over three years, respectively. What is the discounted payback period if the required rate of return is 16 percent
Answer: Never
Explanation:
Discounted payback period aims to find out how long it will take for a project to repay its investment given its discounted cashflows.
Year 1 = 7,200 / ( 1 + 0.16)
= $6,206.8965
= $6,206.90
Year 2 = 8,900 / ( 1 + 0.16) ²
= $6,614.149
= 6,614.15
Year 3 = 7,500 / ( 1 + 0.16)³
= $4,804.93
Year 1 + Year 2 + Year 3
= 6,206.90 + 6,614.15 + 4,804.93
= $17,625.98
It failed to pay back the $17,700
Wangerin Corporation applies overhead to products based on machine-hours. The denominator level of activity is 7,000 machine-hours. The budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs are $245,000. In April, the actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs were $249,900 and the standard machine-hours allowed for the actual output were 7,300 machine-hours. Required: a. Compute the budget variance for April. b. Compute the volume variance for April.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the budget variance of the month of April is shown below:
= Actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs - budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
= $249,900 - $245,000
= $4,900 unfavorable
b. The volume variance is
= (Denominator machine-hours - Standard machine-hours allowed) × Budgeted fixed overhead rate
= (7,000 machine hours - 7,300 machine hours) × $245,000 ÷ 7,000 machine hours
= $10,500 favorable

Desired inventory levels at the end of the month are % of the next month's cost of goods sold. What are the total purchases budgeted for May?
The question is incomplete as the figures are missing. The complete question is,
Fosnight Enterprises prepared the following sales budget:
Month Budgeted Sales
March $6,000
April $13,000
May $11,000
June $20,000
The expected gross profit rate is 20% and the inventory at the end of February was $7,000. Desired inventory levels at the end of the month are 30% of the next month's cost of goods sold. What are the total purchases budgeted for May?
Answer:
Purchases - May = $10960
Explanation:
To calculate the total value of purchases that are budgeted for May, we first need to calculate the cost of goods sold and the opening and closing inventory for May.
As the gross profit margin is 20%, the cost of goods sold will be 80% of sales.
Cost of goods sold for May = 0.8 * 11000 = $8800
Cost of goods sold for June = 0.8 * 20000 = $16000
Opening inventory - May = 8800 * 0.3 = $2640
Closing Inventory - May = 16000 * 0.3 = $4800
Purchases = Closing Inventory + Cost of Goods Sold for the month - Opening Inventory
Purchases - May = 4800 + 8800 - 2640
Purchases - May = $10960

g Oriole Company had actual sales of $1100000 when break-even sales were $660000. What is the margin of safety ratio? 67% 40% 33% 60%
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Oriole company has an actual sales of $1,100,000
The break even sales is $660,000
Therefore, the margin of safety can be calculated as follows
= Actual sales-break-even sales/actual sales
= $1,100,000-$660,000/$1,100,000
= $440,000/$1,100,000
= 0.4×100
= 40%
Hence the margin of safety is 40%
For a particular flight from Dulles to SF, USAir uses wide-body jets with a capacity of 430 passengers. It costs the airline $4,000 plus $60 per passenger to operate each flight. Through experience, USAir has discovered that if a ticket price is T, then they can expect (430 - 0.58T) passengers to book the flight. Determine the ticket price, T, that will maximize the airline's profit.
Answer:
$370.69
Explanation:
Given the following :
Capacity (n) = 430
Cost incurred by airline per flight = $4000 + $60 per passengers
If ticket price = T ; (430 - 0.58T) are expected to book.
Determine the ticket price, T, that will maximize the airline's profit.
Profit = Revenue earned - cost incurred
Revenue earned = capacity * price = nT
Cost incurred = $4000 + $60n
Profit = nT - (4000 + 60n)
If ticket price = T ; (430 - 0.58T) are expected to book. Then n = (430 - 0.58T)
Profit = (430 - 0.58T)T - ($4000 + 60(430 - 0.58T))
Profit = 430T - 0.58T^2 - ($4000 + 25800 - 34.8)
Profit = 430T - 0.58T^2 - 4000 - 25800 + 34.8
Profit (P) = - 0.58T^2 + 430T −29834.8
Taking the first derivative of P
P' = 2(-0.58T) + 430
P' = - 1.16T + 430
Hence solve for price (T) when P' = 0
0 = - 1.16T + 430
1.16T = 430
T = 430 / 1.16
T = 370.68965
Price = $370.69

If management decides to eliminate this product line, the company’s net income will
Answer:
If management decides to eliminate this product line, the company’s net income will reduce by $22,000
Explanation:
A product should be shut down if doing so would make the savings in fixed costs associated with the product to exceed the lost contribution. Other wise , the product should remain.
In a shut down decision , the following relevant cash flows should be considered:
Lost contribution from the product to be shut downSavings in fixed directly attributable to the product under consideration.$
Lost contribution from shut down (100,000)
Savings in fixed cost (60% × 130,000) 78,000
Net loss from shut down (22,000)
Net loss from shut down = $(22,000)
If management decides to eliminate this product line, the company’s net income will reduce by $22,000
You are trying to decide which of two automobiles to buy. The first is American-made, costs $28,500, and has a rated gasoline mileage of 28 miles/gal. The second car is of European manufacture, costs $35,700, and has a rated mileage of 19 km/L. If the cost of gasoline is $3.25/gal and if the cars actually deliver their rated mileage, estimate how many miles you would have to drive for the lower fuel consumption of the second car to compensate for the higher cost of this car.
Answer:
So, the European made car must be driven at least 266666.67 kilo metres in order for both the cars to have same total cost and the European car should be driven more than 266666.67 kilo metres in order for it to have a lower total cost and provide an advantage over the american made.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of miles needed for the lower fuel consumption car to have the same cost as of the higher fuel consumption cost, we need to equate the cost equation of both the cars.
We need to convert the gallons into litres and miles into kilo metres. 1 gallon contains 3.785 litres and 1 mile contains 1.609 kilo metre. So, mileage of first car in kilo metre per Litre is,
Mileage American made = (28 * 1.609) / 3.785
Mileage American made = 11.90 kilo metre per litres
Gas cost per Litres = 3.25 / 3.785
Gas cost per Litres = $0.8586 rounded off to $0.86 per Litres
Gas cost per kilo metre - American Made = 0.86 / 11.90 = $0.072 per km
Gas cost per kilo metre - European Made = 0.86 / 19 = $0.045 per km
The total cost equation (purchase price + fuel cost) of first car which is American made is,
Let x be the number of kilo metres where both cars total costs are equal.
Total cost = 28500 + 0.072x
The total cost equation (purchase price + fuel cost) of first car which is European made is,
Let x be the number of kilo metres where both cars total costs are equal.
Total cost = 35700 + 0.045x
28500 + 0.072x = 35700 + 0.045x
0.072x - 0.045x = 35700 - 28500
0.027x = 7200
x = 7200 / 0.027
x = 266666.67 kilo metres
So, the European made car must be driven at least 266666.67 kilo metres in order for both the cars to have same total cost and the European car should be driven more than 266666.67 kilo metres in order for it to have a lower total cost and provide an advantage over the american made.

Some franchisors claim that contracts are unfairly tilted toward the franchisees.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
A franchisee is a term used to describe an organisation that operates a franchise which he or she has obtained or paid for from a franchisor(the owner of a franchise).
A franchisor usually sets up the contract terms and conditions and presents them to the franchisee who if interested will take on the franchise. So in many cases it is not unfairly titled toward the franchisee.

Strategic buyers are the buyers which aim to buy the company through acquisition, or M&A in order to gain more power in the industry, basically expanding their horizons, they are competitors, or the suppliers in the supply chain, or the customers of the product, they tend to buy such companies in order to decrease their share of cost.
Financial buyers are the one which basically provides finance to the company.
In simple terms these buyers just invest in the companies and have short term or long term goals from this investment, as long as these goals in the form of expected return are fulfilled they keep the investment, as soon when they discover its profitable to sell it further and have a capital gain they do so.
"The customer deposits the required margin. Subsequently, ABC stock rises to $40; DEF rises to $50; and PDQ rises to $60. The new equity in the account is:
Answer:
$18,500
Explanation:
for computing the new equity in the account first we have to determine the starting equity which is shown below:
Initial one is
Long Market Value - Debit = Equity %
= $25,000 - $12,500 (50%)
= $12,500
Now the new equity is
The 4,000 in the ABC stock, the $15,000 in DEF stock and $12,000 in PDQ stock after increased in the market values
So, the new equity is
= $31,000 - $12,500
= $18,500
For Sheridan Company, sales is $1200000, fixed expenses are $340000, and the contribution margin ratio is 36%. What is net income?
Answer:
the net income is $92,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
Net income = Contribution margin - fixed expenses
where,
Contribution margin is
= Sales × contribution margin ratio
= $1,200,000 × 36%
= $432,000
And, the fixed expenses is $340,000
So, the net income is
= $432,000 - $340,000
= $92,000
hence, the net income is $92,000
A coupon bond paying semiannual interest is reported as having an ask price of 117% of its $1,000 par value. If the last interest payment was made one month ago and the coupon rate is 6%, what is the invoice price of the bond? Assume that the month has 30 days
Answer:
$1,195
Explanation:
Calculation the invoice price of the bond
Using this formula
Invoice price of the bond =Clean price + Accrued interest
First step is to find the clean price using this formula
Clean price=Bond amount par value×Ask price percentage
Let plug in the formula
Clean price =$1,000×117/100
Clean price=$1,170
Second step is to calculate for the accrued interest.
Since Semiannually means 6 month, and we were told that the last interest payment was made a month ago which mean we have 5 months left. Now let find the accrued interest using this formula
Accrued interest = Number of days in month ×(5months/6months)
Let plug in the formula
Accrued interest=30× (5months/6months)
Accrued interest =30×0.83333
Accrued interest =30×0.83333
Accrued interest =$25
The last step is to calculate for invoice price of the bond using this formula
Invoice price of the bond =Clean price + Accrued interest
Let plug in the formula
Invoice price of the bond=$1,170+$25
Invoice price of the bond=$1,195
Therefore the Invoice price of the bond will be $1,195
If the demand for a newly released novel is less price-elastic than the demand for an older novel, which of the following pricing strategies would a price-discriminating publishing firm follow?
A) Sell newly released novels and older novels for the same price.
B) Set price according to the marginal cost of printing the novels.
C) Charge a higher price for newly released novels.
D) Charge a higher price for older novels.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the demand for a newly released novel is less price-elastic than the demand for an older novel, it means that the demand for the new novel is less price sensitive when compared to the older novel.
A price discriminating firm would sell the new novel at a higher price than the older novel because demand is less sensitive to price. As a result, total revenue would increase.

Some services they render could be sales analytics, payment management, upgrade, and downgrade of plans. Also, search engine optimization makes the brand visible to customers who use social media. The tone of conversations can also be measured as positive, negative, or neutral with the aid of these monitoring tools.
The next two questions refer to the following fictional financial statement from Sharpie Markers, who sells their markers directly to consumers for $2/marker.
Revenue: $500,000
Plastic: $200,000
Ink: $1,000
Advertising: $5,000
Overhead: $1,000
Depreciation: $25
How many additional pens would Sharpie have to sell to maintain their current contribution to the organization if they invest $25,000 in advertising?
A. None of the above, but I could calculate this with the information I am given.
B. 20,904
C. 836
D. 21,259
Answer:
B. 20,904
Explanation:
For computing the additional pens first we have to determine the contribution per unit which is shown below:
Revenue $500,000
Less: Plastic cost -$200,000
Less: ink cost -$1,000
Contribution margin $299,000
Divided by Number of units sold ($500,000 ÷ $2) $250,000
Contribution per unit $1.196
Now the additional pens required is
= $25,000 ÷ $1.196
= $20,904
"A customer who is long 1 ABC Jan 40 Call wishes to create a "bear call spread." The second option position that the customer must take is:"
Answer:
Short 1 ABC Jan 30 Call
Explanation:
Investors create a "bear call spread" by first purchasing a call option at a certain price (in this case 40), and then selling an equal amount of calls with a lower price (in this case 30). Both call options expire must expire at the same date. The investors will do this because they believe that the price of an asset will decrease, that is why it is called a bear spread.
The standard cost card for a product indicates that one unit of the product requires 5 kilograms of a raw material at $0.80 per kilogram. The production of the product in April was 660 units, but production had been budgeted for 640 units. During April, 7,000 kilograms of the raw material were purchased for $6,040 and 3,535 kilograms of the raw material were used in production. The material variances for April were:
Answer:
Price Variance $440 Unfavorable
Usage variance $188 unfavorable
Explanation:
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.
Price variance $
7000 kg should have cost (7000× $0.80) 5600
but did cost 6,040
Price Variance 440 Unfavorable
Price Variance $440 Unfavorable
Usage variance
A material usage variance occurs when the standard quantity required to active a particular level of production is higher or lower than than the actual actual quantity used. A favorable variance would mean than less quantity of materials were used than the standard to achieve a given output level. And an adverse variance would mean the opposite
Kg
640 units should have used (660× 5kg) 3,300
but did use 3,535
Usage variance in Kg 235 unfavorable
Standard price × $0.80
Usage variance in $ $188 unfavorable
Usage variance in $188 unfavorable
Describe the general processes that should be followed in managing risks throughout a project. Be sure to include the general sequence in which these processes are carried out.
Answer:
The risk management process can be summarised into simple but effective steps.
1. Identification / Recognition of Risk: You can't manage risk if you haven't identified it. Project risks can be very overwhelming. But here are some steps that can help you do so:
Consider every aspect of the projectLook at worst-case scenarios with respect to each milestone/aspect of the project. Ask the question "what is the worst occurent that can take place?"Consulting an expert can also be a quick way to properly identify risks. This is so because they have many years of experience doing so. The downside to this is that it can be expensive.Carrying out internal and external research Getting regular feedback from employees. Employees are the ones who operate the process. Their experiences are invaluable.Documenting and examining complaints from customers. This is one of the best ways of protecting one's brand for loss of equity. Customers are a strong gauge of whether or not the company is doing it right.Once risks have been identified, they can be inserted into a Project Risk Register.
A project risk register is can be a hard document or an electronic document which itemizes all the risks relating to a project as well as their nature. It helps the project manager to keep an eye on all regulatory and compliance risks.
2. Risk Analysis
Risk analysis refers to the process of grouping risks according to their probability of occurence as well as their potential impact on the Project.
3. Risk Evaluation
This refers to the categorization of the risks according to the size of potential damage to the project if they occurred. Some of them will require urgent and or serious attention, others, on the balance of probability will require little or no treatment as their likelihood of occurrence and consequences are very low.
4. Transfer, Mitigate, or Eliminate the Risk
There are several ways to remove or reduce risks. Some of them are:
Use of policies: Policies modify and guide human behaviour within an organisation. When people do the right thing, there is less risk to worry about.Use of contracts: Many of the risks which can affect a project can arise from the contract. Having a legal professional go through a contract can help to reduce risks associated with entering into the same.Insurance: This is a risk transfer mechanism which allows an insurance company to take on the risks of a project or a business in exchange for a premium.5. Continously review and monitor the Risks
The Project Risk Register is a good tool for reviewing and monitoring risks.
When there is a new development with the project, it is important to ask the question "how does this modify our risk exposure".
If for instance, the geographical location for a construction project has changed, this may significantly alter the risks universe of the project and needs to be reviewed/managed using steps 1-4 above.
Cheers!
intext:"On December 31, there were 26 units remaining in ending inventory. Using the periodic LIFO inventory costing method, what is the value of cost of goods sold"
Answer:
Hi, the question you have provided is missing data on the Purchases and Available Inventory for Sale on the Company :
Here are the important principles to consider when calculating the value of Cost of Goods Sold using LIFO periodic Inventory Costing System.
LIFO stands for Last - In - First - Out. This method assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer or requisition department.
This means the valuation of inventory will be at the value of the earliest goods purchased and that the cost of goods sold will be at the latest prices.
Units Sold Calculation
In this question we are provided with Ending Inventory Balance of 26 units. Since its Periodic system, calculation of sales units will simply be Total Balance Available for Sale (Opening Balance plus Purchases) less Ending Balance of Inventory units.
Cost of Sales Calculation
Now with the units sold having been calculated, we have to use the principles of LIFO to make sure that of those units sold, last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.

If the market interest rate is greater than the stated interest rate on bonds, the bonds will sell: ___________
a. at a premium.
b. at a discount.
c. at face value.
d. only after the stated interest rate is increased
Answer:
Option B, at a discount, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Bond is a kind of security or it is a liability for a company that occurs by issuing the bonds to the public. We find that if the stated interest rate on bonds is lower than the market interest rate then the general public will not buy bonds. Therefore, it becomes essential for a company to issue bonds at a discount rate so that it can attract the general public. It is the same case in the given question, therefore, the company will issue bonds at a discount rate.
