Explanation:
Lazar Corporation is evaluating a proposal to invest in a machine costing $89,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of ten years, and an estimated salvage value of $14,000. The machine will increase the company's net income by approximately $9,600 per year. All revenue and expenses other than depreciation will be received and paid in cash.
Required:
1. The expected rate of return on average investment of the machine is ____________.
a. 10.0%
b. 48.0%
c. 17.0%
d. 18.6%
Answer:
Option D is correct
Expected rate of return = 18.6%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is the proportion of average investment that is earned as income . It is calculated as follows:
Rate of return on investment = average return / Average investment
Average investment = (Initial cost + salvage value)/ 2
Average investment = 89,000 +14,000/ 2= 51500
Net income = $9,600
Expected rate of return = 9,600/51,500× 100
= 18.6%
SnowParadise operates a Rocky Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift ticket pricing for the coming ski season. Investors would like to earn a 10 % return on investment on the company's $ 270,000 of assets. The company primarily incurs fixed costs to groom the runs and operate the lifts. SnowParadise projects fixed costs to be $ 31,000 for the ski season. The resort serves about 725,000 skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are about $ 7 per guest. Currently, the resort has such a favorable reputation among skiers and snowboarders that it has some control over the lift ticket prices. Would SnowParadise emphasize target pricing or cost-plus pricing? Why?
Answer and Explanation:
The cost plus pricing refers to the pricing in which the markup percentage is added to the cost of the goods and services the company so that the selling price could be determined
According to the given situation, it is mentioned that the resort have a favorable reputation among skiers which derives that the company products and pricing is different from other company dealing is same type of business. And due to the favorable reputation, the managers have some control over the ticket prices
So it shows the cost plus pricing situation.

As the book-keeper for your company you are required to create quarterly financial statements (Income Statement, Statement of Owner's Equity Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows) in order to report on the financial activities of the company for the quarter (three months).
It is now March 29th, and in preparation for creating the 1st quarter's financial statements (as of 3/31), you have called a meeting with the Dept. Managers for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable to confirm deadlines that have to be met for recording March-related transactions. As the meeting starts the owner walks in - she sits quietly as you explain the deadlines, but as soon as you have finished she says "Well, for this quarter, if we have not paid March invoices by March 31, there is no need to record them in March. We can record/expense those invoices when we pay them in April or May."
Questions:
1. Do you agree with the owner, or, do you feel that an adjusting entry is necessary in the situation described? If so - which type of adjusting entry is needed?
2. Discuss the impact (understated or overstated) on the accounts affected if the adjustment is not made and explain how the adjustment affects the appropriate financial statements
Answer:
1. I do not agree with the owner that expenses not paid for in March should not be accrued in March but recorded in April or May when actual payment is made. Such practise violates the accrual concept and matching principle of accounting. They require expenses to be matched to the period's income.
The adjusting entry needed to record the expenses is accrual adjustment, which requires the expense account to be debited and the expense payable account credited as a liability (unpaid financail obligation).
2. If the adjustment is not made, the particular expense account will be understated. This will also result in the overstatement of the net income.
The adjustment affects the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet. The income statement is affected because it is there that expenses are deducted from the gross profit to arrive at income before tax. The carryover effect is that the Retained Earnings, which adjust the net income after tax is also overstated.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are journal entries used to recognize income or expenses that occurred but are not accurately displayed in the records. Adjusting journal entries are created at the end of an accounting period to balance debits and credits and match expenses to the income for the period in accordance with the accrual concept and matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles.
Concord County owned an idle parcel of real estate consisting of land and a factory building. Concord gave title to this realty to Pharoah Company as an incentive for Pharoah to establish manufacturing operations in the County.

a. Credit to Contribution Revenue for $280000
b. Memo entry only
c. Credit to Donated Capital for $280000.
d. Credit to Comprehensive Income for $280000.
Answer:
a. Credit to Contribution Revenue for $230000
Explanation:
Nonmonetary transaction can be said to occur in a situation where a business activity is said to be concluded without the transfer of money between accounts for parties which is been tied to the transaction .
Example is change of address or in a situation where a more complex transactions occured.
Therefore Pharoah should record this nonmonetary transaction as a Credit to Contribution Revenue for $230000 because
Pharoah paid nothing for this realty, which had a fair value of $230000 at the date of the grant.
Answer:
Credit to Donated capital for $230000 ( C )
Explanation:
pharaoh receiving a parcel of real estate from Concord County with a fair value of $230000 and not paying for it i.e as a grant. Pharaoh will record such non monetary transaction as credit to donated capital. this is because the cost/capital he would have spent in acquiring that property for his business have been saved and the asset was Donated to him by Concord County which means he still got the property which is very essential for his business.this is why he should record this transaction under Donated capital.

Raw materials inventory $563,000 $626,000
The raw materials used in manufacturing during the year totaled $1,098,000. Raw materials purchased during the year amount to:
a. $955,000.
b. $892,000.
c. $1,565,000.
d. $408,000.
e. $1,081,000.
Answer:
Raw material purchased = $1,161,000
Explanation:
Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials.
Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - Opening inventory
Purchase budget = 1,098,000 + 626,000 - 563,000= $1,161,000
Note the closing inventory represents the stock of materials needed to be kept, hence it will increase the purchase budget. So we added.
On the other hand hands, the opening inventory represented what already existed , hence we subtracted it as it will reduce what will be required.
Raw material purchased = $1,161,000

Currently, Bruner Inc.'s bonds sell for $1,110. They pay a $120 annual coupon, have a 15-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC
Answer:
0.59%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be computed using the rate formula in excel as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the coupon payments payable by the bond till maturity which is 15
pmt is the coupon paymet of $120
pv is the current market price of $1,110
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(15,120,-1110,1000)=10.51%
The yield to call can be computed in a similar,while the only difference the future value would now be call price in 5 years which is $1050 and nper is also 5
=rate(5,120,-1110,1050)=9.92%
Difference between YTM to YTC=10.65%-9.92%
=0.59%
A deficit in a nation’s current account means:
A. it must limit the flow of foreign capital investment
B. it must have a deficit in its financial account as well
C. it must increase interest rates to attract foreign investment
D. there must be a surplus in its financial account
E. there must be more exports than imports for the nation.
Answer:
B. it must have a deficit in its financial account as well
Explanation:
Current account deficit is the measure of the a country trade, a country imports and exports the goods. Net effect of both will be deficit or surplus.

If the Payment against the imports are Lower than the receipts against the exports then there is a Surplus.
Two firms, A and B, each currently dump 20 tons of chemicals into the local river. The government has decided to reduce the pollution and from now on will require a pollution permit for each ton of pollution dumped into the river. The government gives each firm 10 pollution permits, which it can either use or sell to the other firm. It costs Firm A $100 for each ton of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river, and it costs Firm B $50 for each ton of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river. After the two firms buy or sell pollution permits from each other, we would expect that:_________.
Answer:
Firm B will no longer pollute and firm A will no longer reduce its pollution at all.
Explanation:
It is noticed here that this is used as a form to calculate the pollution production rate of both firms in the case above.
Therefore, firm B will have to sell out its allotted 20 permits, and clean up all of its 50 units of pollution. The price per permit will be above $50 each. Firm A will BUY ALL 20 of B's permits. It will then dump 40 tons into the water, and will clean up its remaining 10. The price it pays for a permit will be under $100.
Based on the information given, it will be expected that Firm A will no longer pollute; and Firm B will not reduce its pollution at all.
Pollution simply means the introduction of harmful materials into the environment. The harmful materials are known as pollutants.
It should be noted that buying 10 permits from firm B, firm A can reduce all its pollution to zero. Also, Since B has sold the permits to A, firm B will not be in a position to reduce any of its pollution levels. The firm makes a profit by selling 10 permits purchased for $500 to $1000 to firm A since it is beneficial both for A and B.

3. The Dividend yield ratio is 0.041 or 4.1%
4. The Price-earnings ratio is 4.7
5. The Book value per share is $ 87 per share
Explanation:
1. To calculate Earning per share we use the following formula:
Earning per share = Net income /Number of common shares
Number of common shares= 110,000 /10 = 11,000 shares
Earning per share= $168,210 /11,000
Earning per share = $ 15.29 per share
2. To calculate Dividend payout ratio we use the following formula:
Dividend paid = 2.95*11n000= $32,450
Payout ratio = $32,450 / $168,210
Payout ratio =0.193 or 19.3%
3. To calculate Dividend yield ratio we use the following formula:
Dividend yield ratio =dividend /current price
Dividend yield ratio = 2.95 / 72
Dividend yield ratio =0.041 or 4.1%
4. To calculate Price-earnings ratio we use the following formula:
PE ratio =Market price per share /EPS
PE ratio= 72 /15.29
PE ratio = 4.7
5. To calculate Book value per share we use the following formula:
Book value per share =Total sharehoders equity /number of share
Book value per share= $957,000/11,000
Book value per share= $ 87 per share
1. The Earning per share is $15.29 per share
2. The Dividend payout ratio is 19.3%
3. The Dividend yield ratio is 4.1%
4. The Price-earnings ratio is 4.7
Calculation of Net income1. To Compute Earning per share we use the following formula:
The formula of Earning per share is = Net income /Number of common shares
Number of common shares is = 110,000 /10 = 11,000 shares
Earning per share is = $168,210 /11,000
Earning per share is = $15.29 per share
2. To compute Dividend payout ratio we use the following formula:
Dividend paid is = 2.95*11n000= $32,450
Payout ratio is = $32,450 / $168,210
Therefore, Payout ratio =0.193 or 19.3%
3. To Compute Dividend yield ratio we use the following formula:
Then Dividend yield ratio =dividend /current price
Dividend yield ratio = 2.95 / 72
Therefore, Dividend yield ratio is = 0.041 or 4.1%
4. To Compute Price-earnings ratio we use the following formula:
PE ratio is =Market price per share /EPS
PE ratio is = 72 /15.29
Thus, PE ratio = 4.7
5. To Compute the Book value per share we use the following formula:
Book value per share is =Total shareholders equity /number of share
Then, Book value per share= $957,000/11,000
Hence, Book value per share= $ 87 per share

a) How would you answer her question?
b) What would you say if you were told, "I’m sorry, but Mr. Firestone is too busy to talk with you"?
Answer: Please refer to Explanation.
Explanation:
1. Honesty.
State the purpose of your call to the secretary and sell your product. For instance, " Hello, my name is Mr. Petal and I represent a fast rising Paper and Metal Container company. After researching about your company, I felt it most expedient to get in touch with Mr. Firestone as I believe this is business he will be interested in. We offer perks that are unmatched in the industry".
2. Persistence.
You can be persistent on the phone if you detect deceit in the secretary's tone.
For instance,
" Having been in the chemical industry myself, I know such an opportunity does not come often and I really do guarantee that we give the best benefits in the industry. If you can, just let me talk to Mr. Firestone, I promise that neither of you will regret it".
If it still doesn't work, ask for a convenient time you can call back.
You live in a town with 300 adults and 200 children, and you are thinking about putting on a play to entertain your neighbors and make some money. A play has a fixed cost of $2,000, but selling an extra ticket has zero marginal cost. Here are the demand schedules for your two types of customers:
Price (Dollars) Adults (Tickets) Children (Tickets)
20 0 0
18 25 0
16 50 0
14 100 0
12 150 0
10 200 0
8 300 25
6 300 50
4 300 100
2 300 150
0 300 200
To maximize profit, you would charge _____ (number) for an adult's ticket and _____ (number) for a child?s ticket. Total profit in this case would be _____ (number).
The city council passes a law prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers.
Now you set a price of _____(number) for all tickets, resulting in _____(number) in profit.
Indicate whether each of the following groups of people is better off, worse off, or the same because of the law prohibiting price discrimination.
Groups of People Better Off Worse Off Unchanged
Adults
Children
You, the Producer
Suppose the fixed cost of the play were $2,600 rather than $2,000.
Complete the following sentences indicating how this would change your answers to the previous parts.
In the presence of price discrimination, the adult price of a ticket would _____ (increase, decrease, remain the same), and the child price would _____ (increase, decrease, remain the same). Total profit would _____ (rise, fall) to (number).
If price discrimination were banned and the monopolist continued to produce the play no matter what the profit, the price of a ticket would _____ (increase, decrease, remain the same), and total profit would _____ (rise, fall) to _____ (number).
Answer:
Explanation:
To maximize profit, you would charge $8 for an adult's ticket and $4 for a child?s ticket. Total profit in this case would be $800.
The city council passes a law prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers.
Now you set a price of $8 for all tickets, resulting in $600 in profit.
Indicate whether each of the following groups of people is better off, worse off, or the same because of the law prohibiting price discrimination.

In addition, Solar paid dividends of $16,000 in both years. Inventory is assumed to be sold in 2019. Assume straight line amortization/ depreciation for assets and bonds payable. What is the amount of goodwill at date of acquisition?
Answer:
Amount of goodwill $270,000
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Excess of acquisition price $570,000
which is come from
= Total consideration paid - common stock - additional paid in capital - retained earnings
= $2,400,000 - $700,000 - $250,000 - $880,000
= $570,000
Now
Adjustment for difference (fair value minus book value) :
Particulars Book value Fair value Amount
Inventory $350,000 $400,000 $50,000
Building-net $1,000,000 $900,000 ($100,000 )
Equipment-net $300,000 $400,000 $100,000
Land $600,000 $900,000 $300,000
Bonds payable $2,000,000 $2,050,000 ($50,000 )
Total amount $300,000
Now
Amount of goodwill is
= $570,000 - $300,000
= $270,000
Suppose Cook Plus manufactures cast iron skillets. One model is a 10-inch skillet that sells for $ 22. Cook Plus projects sales of 650 10-inch skillets per month. The production costs are $ 11 per skillet for direct materials, $ 4 per skillet for direct labor, and $ 6 per skillet for manufacturing overhead. Cook Plus has 75 10-inch skillets in inventory at the beginning of July but wants to have an ending inventory equal to 40% of the next month's sales. Selling and administrative expenses for this product line are $ 1,200 per month. Cook Plus has budgeted cost of goods sold of $ 13,650 for July.
Required:
1. How many 10-inch skillets should Chef Plus produce in July?
Answer:
Production budget = 835
Explanation:
The production budgeted for a particular period is the expected units to be produced after adjusting the sales budget figures for opening and closing inventories.
Production = Sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory
Inventory at the end of July = 40%×650= 260
Opening inventory = 75
Sales budget = 650
Production budget = 650+ 260 - 75= 835
Production budget = 835

When friends of Brian Richardson went to the carnival, they always wanted to take him with them because Richardson had an uncanny ability to win almost every arcade game he played. Usually by the end of the evening his friends were also winning because Richardson did not mind sharing his secrets. His friends urged him to write a book. After several attempts, Richardson created The Secrets of Amusement Park Games-Revealed. In the 85-page book, Richardson reduces the art of playing arcade games to a science. According to him, the trick is to realize each game is not a game of chance. Richardson's mini-book is available at Amazon for $5.95.
Refer to the scenario Since, with the use of Richardson's book, most people dan win arcade games and carry home as many stuffed animals as their arms can hold, what would carnival operators hope for?
a. a slow diffusion of the book
b. the book's purchase and promotion
c. a rapid diffusion of the book
d. intensive distribution and promotion
Answer:
Option A, slow diffusion of the book.
Explanation:
The book contains the secret or tricks to win the game so as many as people will get the book the population of people who can win the game will increase. However, the winning of people in the game is the loss of a carnival operator because he has to give more winning amount. Therefore, the book will increase the winning probability of people so carnival operators will hope its slow diffusion so that people do not get to know the winning techniques.
Which of the following is an example of cannibalization?
A. A toothpaste manufacturer adds a new line of toothpaste (that contains baking soda) to its product line.
B. A basketball manufacturer adds basketball hoops to its product line.
C. A convenience store begins selling preminuspaid cell phones.
D. A grocery store begins selling Tminusshirts featuring the local university's mascot.
Answer:
A. A toothpaste manufacturer adds a new line of toothpaste (that contains baking soda) to its product line.
Explanation:
Market cannibalization is explained to be a loss in sales caused by a company's introduction of a new product that displaces one of its own older products.
Introduction of a new toothpaste containing baking soda is a perfect example, because it will reduce or alter sales in the other brand units.
The cannibalization of existing products leads to no increase in the company's market share despite sales growth for the new product. Market cannibalization can occur when a new product is similar to an existing product, and both share the same customer base. Cannibalization can also occur when a chain store or fast food outlet lose customers due to another store of the same brand opening nearby.
Suppose that JVC is trying to decide how to price a new stereo system composed of a receiver, CD player, and speakers. The company's economists have estimated that two different groups will purchase these products: students and club owners. The economists analysis suggests that the total market for its brand of stereos consists of 10,000 students and 50,000 club owners. In addition, it is estimated that the maximum amount each group will pay for each stereo component is as follows:
Group Receiver CD Player Speakers
Students $250 $150 $100
Club owners $200 $75 $250
Required:
a) Suppose that JVC markets the receiver, CD player, and speakers are sold separately and together. What prices should JVC charge to maximize revenues?
The revenues table is:
[tex]\text{Receivers} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 200\\\\\text{CD player}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 75\\\\\text{Speaker} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 250\\\\\text{Combined ( bundling )} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 500[/tex]
Calculating the pricing JVC will charge in order to increase revenues:Calculating the separate price for the receiver:
when
[tex]P = 250[/tex] only for the students to buy
[tex]\to TR = 250 \times 10,000 = 2,500,000[/tex]
[tex]P = 200[/tex], both types will buy
[tex]\to TR = 200 \times (60,000) = 12,000,000[/tex]
Therefore, the higher [tex]TR[/tex], with [tex]P = 200[/tex], and the charge [tex]P = 200[/tex], for Receiver:
Calculating the value of CD player:
[tex]If \ P = 150,\ \ TR = 150\times 10,000 = 1,500,000 \\\\If \ P = 75, \ \ TR = 75 \times (60,000) = 4,500,000[/tex]
Therefore, the higher [tex]TR[/tex], with [tex]P = 75[/tex],
Speakers,
if[tex]P = 100[/tex] , both types buy
[tex]\to TR = 100 \times (60,000) = 6,000,000[/tex]
If [tex]P = 250[/tex], only club owners buy
[tex]\to TR = 250 \times 50,000 = 12,500,000[/tex]
So higher [tex]TR[/tex] with [tex]P = 250[/tex]
Now combined Willingness to pay
For students, [tex]250+150+100 = 500[/tex]
For club owners, [tex]200+75+250 = 525[/tex]
So if [tex]P = 500[/tex], both types buy
[tex]\to TR = 500 \times 60,000 = 30,000,000[/tex]
if [tex]P = 525[/tex], only club owners buy, then
[tex]\to TR = 525 \times 50,000 = 26,250,000[/tex]
so higher [tex]TR[/tex] with [tex]P = 500[/tex]
Therefore, the calculated table values are:
[tex]\text{Receivers} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 200\\\\\text{CD player}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 75\\\\\text{Speaker} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 250\\\\\text{Combined ( bundling )} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 500[/tex]

Cr cash 28,125.00
Dr bonds discount 2,802.20
Bonds payable at 31st Dec: $ 730,500.98
Explanation:
The price on the bonds issue is computed using pv formula in excel as shown below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the semiannual market interest of 4.25% i.e 8.5%*6/12
nper is the number of semiannual coupon payments of the bond which is 4 years multiplied by 2=8
pmt is the semiannual coupon payment=$750,000*7.5%*6/12=$ 28,125.00
fv is the face value of $750,000
=-pv(4.25%,8,28125,750000)=$725,010.82
find attached amortization schedule
discount on bonds payable=$750,000-$725,010.82=$24,989.18
