Answer and Explanation:
The computations and the journal entries are as follows
A. Uncollectible account expense is
= Given percentage × total sales
= 1% × $1,152,000
= $11,520
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $11,520
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $11,520
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
B. Uncollectible account expense is
= Given percentage × credit sales
= 1.5% × $1,152,000 × 75%
= $12,960
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $12,960
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $12,960
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
C. Uncollectible account expense is
= Appropriate Allowance - credit balance of allowance for doubtful debts
= $12,000 - $2,184
= $9,816
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $9,816
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $9,816
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
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.
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.
Financial contracts involving investments, mortgages, loans, and so on are based on either a fixed or a variable interest rate. Assume that fixed interest rates are used throughout this question. 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
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
=$3865.8
The correct option is is the second option

Fidelity Systems reports net income of $81 million. Included in that number is depreciation expense of $9 million, and a gain on the sale of equipment of $2 million. Records reveal increases in Accounts Receivable, Inventory, and Accounts Payable of $3 million, $3 million, and $3 million, respectively. Calculate Fidelity's net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (Negative value should be indicated by minus sign. Enter your answer in millions.)
Answer:
$85 million
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method is provided below:-
Net cash flow from operating activities = Net income + Depreciation - Gain on sale of equipment - Increase in accounts receivable - Increase in inventory + Increase in accounts payable
= $81 million + $9 million - $2 million - $3 million - $3 million + $3 million
= $93 million - $8 million
= $85 million
So, we have calculated the net cash flow from operating activities by using the above formula.
The information are as follows:
Cash collections from customers $ 800
Purchase of used equipment 200
Depreciation expense 200
Sale of investments 450
Dividends received 100
Interest received 200
Based on the above information, compute cash flows from investing activities under GAAP.
Answer:
$250
Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow.
Hence the cash flows from investing activities
= -$200 + $450
= $250
Other activities are reported under operating activities section.
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?
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
Sean Thornton has invested in a convertible bond issued by Cohan Enterprises. The conversion ratio is 20. The market price of Cohan common stock is $60 per share. The face value is $1,000. The coupon rate is 8 percent and the annual interest is paid until the maturity date 10 years from now. Similar nonconvertible bonds are yielding 12 percent (YTM) in the marketplace. Calculate the straight bond value of this bond.
Answer:
$774
Explanation:
Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows. This Includes the present value of coupon payment and cash flow on maturity of the bond.
As per Given Data
As the payment are made semiannually, so all value are calculated on semiannual basis.
Coupon payment = 1000 x 8% = $80 annually
Number of Payments = n = 10 years x 1 = 10 periods
Yield to maturity = 12% annually
To calculate Price of the bond use following formula of Present value of annuity.
Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Price of the Bond =$80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 12% )^-10 ) / 12% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 12% )^10 ]
Price of the Bond =452.02 + $321.97 = 773.99
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.

owner's equity increased by $4,550 during AugustBusinesses, 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.
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.

Dynamic collaboration between companies provides for ongoing development of procedures and goods, client-supplier partnerships and consumer loyalty. External collaboration within an company may strengthen partnerships within an organisation between the staff and divisions.
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
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
In February 2021, Culverson Company began developing a new software package to be sold to customers. The software allows people to enter health information and daily eating and exercise habits to track their health status. The project was completed in November 2021 at a cost of $1,500,000. Of this amount, $540,000 was spent before technological feasibility was established. Culverson expects a useful life of two years for the new product and total revenues of $1,740,000. Determine the amount that Culverson should capitalize as software development costs in 2021.
Answer:
$960,000
Explanation:
The computation of the software development capitalized is shown below:
= Project completion cost - Amount spent before the technological feasibility established
= $1,500,000 - $540,000
= $960,000
By deducting the amount spent before the technological feasibility established from the project completion cost we can get the capitalized amount with respect to the software development
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:_______
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
Suppose Mattel, the producer of Barbie dolls and accessories (sold separately), has two types of consumers who purchase its dolls: low-value consumers and high-value consumers. Each of the low-value consumers tends to purchase one doll and one accessory, with a total willingness to pay of $64. Each of the high-value consumers buys one doll and two accessories and is willing to pay $125 in total.
Mattel is currently considering two pricing strategies:
• Strategy 1: Sell each doll for $32 and each accessory for $32
• Strategy 2: Sell each doll for $3 and each accessory for $61
In the following table, indicate the revenue for a low-value and a high-value customer under strategy 1 and strategy 2. Then, assuming each strategy is applied to one low-value and one high-value customer, indicate the total revenue for each strategy.
Revenue from Low-Value Customers
Revenue from High-Value Customers
Total Revenue from Strategy
$64 Value, 1 Accessory
$125 Value, 2 Accessories
($)
($)
($)
Strategy 1
$32 doll + $32 accessory
Strategy 2
$3 doll + $61 accessory
The strategy that generates the most revenue is strategy ?
Answer:
strategy 2
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Particular Revenue from Low-value customers Add Revenue from high-value customers Total revenue from strategy
Accessories 1 Accessories 2
Strategy 1
($32 doll+$32 accessory) $32 ×1 + $32 × 1 + $32 × 1 + $32 × 2
$32 + $32 $32 + $64
= $64 = $96
Total = $64 + $96 = $160
Strategy 2
($3 doll + $61 accessory) $3 × 1 + $61 × 1 + $3 × 1 + $61 × 2
$3 + $61 $3 + $122
= $64 = $125
Total = $64 + $125 = $189
According to the analysis, strategy 2 gives more revenue than strategy 1.
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.
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.
Bob is a recognized french horn player. Bob has played for several major symphonies. Last year Bob went through bankruptcy and in order to pay his rent for a couple of months took out loans from a small bank - Avarice Bank - and pledged his french horn as collateral. He was unable to make the first payment on the loan so the bank was getting ready to take the french horn for non-payment. Bob approached the director of the Gilroy Philarmonic International Symphony - Joe - for help - asking him to guarantee payment so he does not lose his french horn. Joe agreed to guarantee the payment - partially because Bob is scheduled as the featured performer at the Classic Polka Festival in Gilroy which Joe manages. Joe called Avarice Bank and said if Bob could not pay, he would, and Avarice accepted his guaranty by phone. Bob played for the Polka Festival (it was very successful), but immediately after, left town and his whereabouts are unknown. Avarice has contacted Joe and indicated they have not collected from Bob and they expect Joe to pay the debt. Joe told Avarice they did not have anything in writing from him (though there are witnesses who heard Joe guarantee payment) and he believes he will not be liable for Bob's debt. Avarice has indicated it will file suit for payment against Joe. I
nstructions: Answer the following questions about this case:
Issue: What is the legal issue/dispute? (Be specific. Don’t just say Contract Law)
Decision: Who should prevail?
Support: Provide support for your decision. Describe what the law says about situations like this, and how it applies to this case.
Answer:
In this case, we analysed three problems, which are The issue, The decision and The support.
The issue of the dispute was does guarantee on phone for payment debt) valid and enforceable in the court of law.
The decision was centered on whether a contract is needed to be in writing and if it should bear the signatures of both parties in order for it to be enforceable.
The support centered on the assurance of the repayment of debt contract in which authorities the creditor to get back the money from the guarantor, if the debtor fails on payment.
Explanation:
Solution
The Issue : Does guarantee on phone for a debt payment is valid and enforceable in a court of law.
Decision : The guarantee is a contract and needs to be in writing and should bear the signatures of the parties in order to be enforceable. In this case, the guarantee for the debt repayment by Bob was given by Joe on phone, which does not fulfill the requirement of the contract to be enforceable.Hence the bank would not succeed in claiming payments from Joe.
Support : Guarantee for repayment of debt is a contract that authorities the creditor to recover the money from the guarantor if the debtor defaults on payment. However, the guarantee contract should be in writing ( in legal systems of most of the countries) and should be signed by the guarantor. In absence of a written contract and signature of the guarantor, the contract can't be enforced in a court of law, which is in this case. The bank should have insisted only on the written and signed consent of guarantee from Joe. As it did not, it can't hold him liable for the breach of guarantee contract.
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
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%)
An operations manager is performing a factor-rating analysis to help her choose an outsourcing provider. She is focusing on three factors: A, B, and C, with weights of .50, .20, and .30, respectively. She has scored one potential outsourcer, Ling Services, on each of the factors using a scale of 10-50. Ling Services received a score of 30 for factor A, 46 for factor B, and 22 for factor C. What is the factor-rating score for Ling Services
Answer:
30.8
Explanation:
The solution of factor-rating score for Ling Services is provided below:-
Factor-rating score = (Weight for Factor A × Rating for Factor A) + (Weight for Factor B × Rating for Factor B) + (Weight for Factor C × Rating for Factor C)
= (0.50 × 30) + (0.20 × 46) + (0.30 × 22)
= 15 + 9.2 + 6.6
= 30.8
So, we have calculated the factor-rating score for Ling Services by using the above formula.
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?
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 3-year interest rate swap has a level notional amount of $300,000. Each settlement period is one year and the variable rate is the one-year spot interest rate at the beginning of the settlement period. The current spot rate is determined by the following prices for zero-coupon bonds with $1 face amount:
Time of Maturity 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year
Price 0.97 0.93 0.88 0.82 0.75
Required:
a. Calculate the swap rate.
b. Caleulate the net swap payment at the end of the first year.
c. One year has elapsed and the one-year spot interest rate at the start of year 2 is 4.45%. Calculate the net swap payment at the end of the second year for the payer.
d. Two years have elapsed and the one-year spot interest rate at the start of year three is 5.25 Calculate the market value of the swap.
Answer:
(a)0.04317 (b) 3672 which will be paid by the payer to the receiver (c) -399. so, the 399 which will be paid by the receiver to the payer (d) 2659.38
Explanation:
Solution
(a) Swap Rate (R) = (1 - P₃)/(P₁+P₂+P₃)
= (1 – 0.88)/(0.97 + 0.93 + 0.88)
= 0.04317
(b) The payer pays the fixed interest rate and gets the variable interest rate.
Then, the fixed interest rate is known as the swap rate which is 4.317%.
Now,
The variable rate is the one year spot rate for the first year of the loan. which is r₁ = 1/P₁ -1 = 1/0.97 - 1 = 0.03093
Thus,
The net swap payment becomes (300,000)(0.04317) - (300,000)(0.03093) = 3672 which will be paid by the payer to the receiver.
(c) The payer pays the fixed interest rate and receives the variable interest rate. The fixed interest rate is the swap rate which is 4.317%.
Thus,
The variable rate is the one year spot rate for the second year of the loan is 4.45%.
So,
The net swap payment becomes (300,000)(0.04317) - (300,000)(0.04450) = -399.
Therefore, the 399 which will be paid by the receiver to the payer.
(d) The market value is the present value of expected future cash flows. under this swap, the variable rate has been swapped for the constant swap rate. There is one year left under the swap.
Then,
The expectation is that the swap owner will pay (300,000)(0.04317) and receive (300,000)(0.0525). these payments would be made at the end of one year. Therefore, the market value will be:
{(300,000)(0.0525) - (300,000)(0.04317)}/1.0525 = 2799/1.0525 = 2659.38

Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals200minus2q, 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.)
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

Highpoint, Inc., is considering investing in automated equipment with a ten-year useful life. Managers at Highpoint have estimated the cash flows associated with the tangible costs and benefits of automation, but have been unable to estimate the cash flows associated with the intangible benefits. Using the company's 14% required rate of return, the net present value of the cash flows associated with just the tangible costs and benefits is a negative $182,560.
Required:
1. How large would the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be to make this a financially acceptable investment?
Answer:
The annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be $35,000 to make this a financially acceptable investment
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
required rate of return=14%
Negative net present value=$182,560
Therefore, in order to calculate How large would the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be to make this a financially acceptable investment we would have to use the following formula:
Minimum annual cash flows required=Negative net present value/Present value factor at 14% for 10 years
Present value factor at 14% for 10 years=5.216
Therefore, Minimum annual cash flows required=$182,560/5.216
Minimum annual cash flows required=$35,000
The annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be $35,000 to make this a financially acceptable investment

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. If the kitchen division is dropped, 45% of the fixed costs allocated it could be eliminated. The impact on Carns’s operating income from eliminating the small tools division would be:
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
The Woods Co. and the Speith Co. have both announced IPOs at $63 per share. One of these is undervalued by $11, and the other is overvalued by $4, but you have no way of knowing which is which. You plan to buy 1,000 shares of each issue. If an issue is underpriced, it will be rationed, and only half your order will be filled. a. If you could get 1,000 shares in Woods and 1,000 shares in Speith, what would your profit be? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. What profit do you actually expect? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Profit is equal to $7000
Expected profit is equal to $1500
Explanation:
Number of shares = 1000
Undervalued amount = $11
Overvalued amount = $4
Profit received by both the stocks is equal to
Profit = shares ×undervalued amount - shares × overvalued amount
[tex]=1000\times 11-1000\times 4[/tex]
=$7000
Expected profit is equal to

Sheffield's Bakery makes a variety of home-style cookies for upscale restaurants in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The company's best-selling cookie is the double chocolate almond supreme. Sheffield's recipe requires 10 ounces of a commercial cookie mix, 5 ounces of milk chocolate, and 1 ounce of almonds per pound of cookies. The standard direct materials costs are $0.80 per pound of cookie mix, $4 per pound of milk chocolate, and $19 per pound of almonds. Each pound of cookies requires 1 minute of direct labor in the mixing department and 5 minutes of direct labor in the baking department. The standard labor rates in those departments are $12.70 per direct labor hour (DLH) and $27 per DLH, respectively. Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $37.00 per DLH; fixed overhead is applied at a rate of $60 per DLH.
Required:
1. Calculate the standard cost for a pound of Sheffield's double chocolate almond supreme cookies. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.51.)
Answer:
The Standard cost for a pound of Sheffield's double chocolate almond supreme cookies is $15.10
Explanation:
The standard direct materials costs are $0.80 per pound of cookie mix, $4 per pound of milk chocolate, and $19 per pound of almonds.
Total ounces = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16
Standard Material Cost = ([tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] × 0.80) + ([tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] × 4) + ([tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] × 19)
Standard Material Cost = $ 2.9375
Each pound of cookies requires 1 minute of direct labor in the mixing department and 5 minutes of direct labor in the baking department.
Standard Direct Labor Cost = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] × 12.70 + [tex]\frac{5}{60}[/tex] × 27
Standard Direct Labor Cost = $2.4617
Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $37.00 per direct labor hour
Standard Variable overhead cost = 6/60 × 37
Standard Variable overhead cost = $ 3.70
Standard Fixed overhead cost = 6/60 × 60
Standard Fixed overhead cost = $ 6
Standard cost for a pound = $2.9375 + $2.4617 + $3.70 + $6
Standard cost for a pound = $15.10
The Standard cost for a pound of Sheffield's double chocolate almond supreme cookies in the above case is $15.10.
What is the standard cost?A standard cost is defined as an anticipated cost that a company commonly launches at the starting of a fiscal year for amounts used and prices paid.
It is an anticipated amount of money to pay off for materials costs or labor rates. The standard quantity is the anticipated exercise amount of materials or labor.
Computation of standard cost:
According to the given information,
Standard direct materials costs = $0.80 per pound of cookie mix.
Per pound of milk chocolate = $4, and
Per pound of almonds = $19.
Total ounces:
[tex]\text{Total Ounce} = \text{Commercial cookies Mix+ Milk Chocolate+Almonds}\\\\\text{Total Ounce} = 10 + 5 + 1\\\\\text{Total Ounce} = 16[/tex]
Then, Standard Material Cost:
[tex]=(\dfrac{10}{16}\times 0.80)+(\dfrac{5}{16}\times4) +(\dfrac{1}{16} \times 19)\\\\=2.9375[/tex]
Now, 1 minute of direct labor is required in the mixing department and 5 minutes of direct labor in the baking department. Then the standard direct labor cost is:
[tex]\text{Standard Direct Labor Cost} = (\dfrac{1}{60}\times 12.70) +(\dfrac{5}{60} \times 27)\\\\\text{Standard Direct Labor Cost} = \$2.4617[/tex]
Variable overhead is applied at a rate = $37.00 per direct labor hour
Now, find the value of Standard Variable overhead cost:
[tex]\text{Standard Variable Overhead Cost} = \dfrac{6}{60}\times 37\\\\\text{Standard Variable Overhead Cost} =\$3.70[/tex]
Now, Standard Fixed overhead cost:
[tex]\text{Standard Fixed Overhead Cost} = \dfrac{6}{60}\times 60\\\\\text{Standard Fixed Overhead Cost} =\$6[/tex]
Therefore, Standard cost for a pound:
[tex]=\text{ Standard Direct Labor Cost}+\text{Standard Variable Overhead Cost}+\text{ Fixed Overhead Cost}\\\\=\$2.9375 + \$2.4617 + \$3.70 + \$6\\\\=\$15.10[/tex]
Therefore, Standard cost for a pound is $15.10.

d. $1,800 $4,500
Answer:
The correct option is A:
Supplies Supplies Expense
$1,300 $4,500
Explanation:
The amount of supplies used in the month is the opening balance of supplies at the beginning of the month plus purchases of supplies minus closing balance of supplies at month end.
supplies used=supplies expense=$1,800+$4,000-$1,300=$ 4,500.00
As a result of the above computation,supplies expense would be debited with $4,500 reflecting the cost of supplies made use of in the month while supplies inventory is debited with closing balance of $1,300.
Answer:
A. $1,300 $4,500
Explanation:
The balance of the Supply is $1,300 "which is the actual supplies on hand amount to $1300"
The supplies expenses amount is
= ($1800 + $4000) - $1300
=$7100
