Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $56,000 that has an estimated residual value of $8,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. It is estimated that the machine has an estimated 1,000,000 copies. This year 240,000 copies were made. Determine the (a) depreciable cost, (b) depreciation rate, and (c) the units-of-production depreciation for the year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The depreciable cost is the result of deducting from the purchase price the salvage value:
Depreciable cost= 56,000 - 8,000
Depreciable cost= $48,000
The depreciable rate is the depreciation that the asset suffers in one year express as a percentage:
Depreciation rate= 1/5 = 0.2 or 20% per year
Finally, the units of production depreciation for the first year:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in copies]*number of copies
Annual depreciation= (48,000/1,000,000)*240,000
Annual depreciation= 0.048*240,000
Annual depreciation= $11,520
Canton Company sells a motor that carries a 60-day unconditional warranty against product failure. From prior years' experience, Canton estimates that 3% of units sold each period will require repair at an average cost of $160 per unit. During the current period, Canton sold 100,000 units and repaired 2,400 of those units. (a) How much warranty expense must Canton report in its cur
Answer:
$480,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine much warranty expense must Canton report
Using this formula
Warranty expense=Average cost per unit*Unit sold*Estimated percentage of units sold
Let plug in the formula
Warranty expense= $160*100,000*3%
Warranty expense=$480,000
Therefore warranty expense that Canton must report is $480,000
On January 1, 2014, P Company purchased an 80% interest in S Company for $616,800, at which time S Company had retained earnings of $295,600 and common stock of $340,300. Any difference between book value and the value implied by the purchase price was entirely attributable to a patent with a remaining useful life of 10 years. Assume that P and S Companies reported net incomes from their independent operations of $199,900 and $95,700, respectively. Calculate the controlling interest and noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Answer:
For the year ended December 31, 2014, we have:
Controlling interest in consolidated net income = $76,560
Noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income = $19,140
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Net income of S Company = $95,700
Controlling interest percentage = P Company percentage interest in S Company = 80%
Noncontrolling interest percentage = 100% - Controlling interest percentage = 100% - 80% = 20%
Therefore, we have:
Controlling interest in consolidated net income of S Company = Controlling interest percentage * Net income of S Company = 80% * $95,700 = $76,560
Noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income of S Company = Noncontrolling interest percentage * Net income of S Company = 20% * $95,700 = $19,140
Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2014, we have:
Controlling interest in consolidated net income = $76,560
Noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income = $19,140
What would be the return on total assets of a firm if net income is $50,000, total sales are $100,000, and total assets are $175,000

=Net income / Total assets
=50,000/175,000
=28.6%
Therefore, return on total asset is 28.6%

g For a closed economy, when net capital outflow is measured along the horizontal axis and the real interest rate is measured along the vertical axis, net capital outflow is drawn as a: Group of answer choices line that slopes up and to the right. horizontal line at the world real interest rate. line that slopes down and to the right. vertical line at 0.
Answer: vertical line at 0.
Explanation:
In a closed economy, investments from other countries do not come in and the country does not invest in other countries. This means that capital is neither flowing in nor out.
Net capita outflow is the difference between capital flowing in and capital that is flowing out. If there is no capital flowing in nor out then net capital outflow will be 0. On the graph described, net capital outflow will therefore be zero for all real interest rates which will create a vertical line at 0.

A. $178,200.
B. $173,500.
C. $165,300.
D. $6,800.
E. $29,500.
Answer: B. $173,500.
Explanation:
First calculate the Net income:
= Repair services + Services on account - Rent - Salaries - Utilities
= 32,000 + 4,600 - 3,600 - 7,800 - 2,100
= $23,100
Equity is:
= Cash investment + Equipment investment + Net income - Dividends
= 41,000 + 116,000 + 23,100 - 6,600
= $173,500
(Select all that apply) Maria is researching social media usage in her company for a marketing meeting later in the month. What should she consider as she chooses sources to read and/or include
Answer:
Hello,
this question above appears to be missing options from which one is to select from. In the absence of those, an alternative approach would suffice.
When considering sources for research, Maria should take she must consider sources that meet the following requirements:
DepthObjectivityCurrency of SourceAuthorityPurposeExplanation:
Depth: A source with just a simple cursory overview may not suffice. It is pertinent to elect a source that treats the subject matter in sufficient depth and which uses data to support its position on the topic she is researching Objectivity: If any source takes a biased position on the topic Maria is researching, then it is not a good source. Maria wants to ensure that the author of the source has not taken a position that does not have a balanced view. If any source is not properly cited it should not count.The currency of source: Simple logic requires that a source that is more up-to-date should be preferred above one that is dated. The rule of thumb requires that where possible, sources cited should not be older than 3 years.Authoritative: The more qualified an Author is in the field under consideration, the more reputable the company it works for, the more authoritative that source is considered to bePurpose: Sometimes a text may contain several sub-topics which build up to buttress its primary purpose. Sometimes, these sub-topics may deviate slightly from the main topic. To cite from the sub-topics because it aligns with her work would be a mistake on Maria's part. For example, if she cites from a research proposal whose main topic is Photo Journalism in the Wild West, but which references or the importance of social media in one of its paragraphs, that citation would not be considered adequate because the purpose of the main body is not specific to her work.Cheers
Hanna, Marnie, and Jessa have operated a partnership as filmmakers for a number of years. At the end of the year, before any allocation of profits, the partners have the following capital account balances:
Hanna $25.000
Marnie 15.000
Jessa 10.000
The partnership agreement states that profits should be allocated in proportion to the capital account balances. If the partnership earns $600,000 in the current year, how much of the profit will be allocated to Marnie?
a. $600,000.
b. $180,000.
c. $200,000.
d. $150,000.
Answer: b. $180,000
Explanation:
Profit should be allocated according to capital account balances. Marnie's capital account proportion is:
= 15,000 / (25,000 + 15,000 + 10,000)
= 15,000 / 50,000
= 30%
If the profit is $600,000, Marnie's share is:
= 30% * 600,000
= $180,000
Blart Corp. recently paid a dividend of $5.00 per share. Analysts forecast future dividends will increase by 2% forever. The required rate of return that investors demand to hold Blart Corp.'s stock is 8% What is its estimated price per share today
Answer: $85.0
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the estimated price per share today will be:
Po = Do (1 + g) / (r - g)
Where,
Po = Current price
Do = Current dividend = 5.00
g = Dividend growth = 2% = 0.02
r = Required rate of return = 8% = 0.08
Therefore, the estimated price per share today will be:
= 5.00(1 + 0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)
= 5.00(1.02) / 0.06
= 5.10 / 0.06
= 85.00
Therefore, the answer is $85

Suppose that Michelle buys a cappuccino from Paul's Cafe and Bakery for $4.75. Michelle was willing to pay up to $6.75 for the cappuccino and Paul's Cafe and Bakery was willing to accept S1.25 for the cappuccino. Based on this information, answer the questions below.
Michelle's consumer surplus is equal to: _______
Paul's Bakery's producer surplus is equal to:__________
Answer:
$2
$3.50
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
$6.75 - $4.75 = $2
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
$4.75 - $1.25 = $3.5

The CVP income statement Group of answer choices discloses contribution margin in the body of the statement. is distributed internally and externally. classifies costs by functions. will reflect a different net income than the traditional income statement.
Answer: discloses contribution margin in the body of the statement.
Explanation:
The Cost Volume Profit (CVP) income statement is made to better show the influence of variable costs and fixed costs on income. It as well shows the effects that changing costs and production volume can have on the income.
Although it shows the same income as a traditional income statement, the format is different in that the contribution margin is included in the statement and the costs and revenue per unit are shown as well.

the cost of quality has two components: the cost of good quality. the costs for good quality are the cost of monitoring and preventing defects. the cost of poor quality are often hidden, hitting customers and departments not immediately related to production. some experts argue that:
Answer: Quality is never costless because monitoring and prevention have costs
Explanation:
The cost of quality has two parts which are the cost of prevention and the cost of failure. The cost of quality simply refers to the sum of the prevention cost and the cost of failure.
It should be noted that spending more on prevention helps in reducing the cost of failure. According to experts, quality is is never costless because monitoring and prevention have costs.
Marlow Company purchased a point of sale system on January 1 for $6,500. This system has a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $950. What would be the depreciation expense for the second year of its useful life using the double-declining-balance method
Answer:
$1,560
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year of its useful life is shown below:
First depreciation rate is
= 1 ÷ 5 ×2
= 40%
Now the depreciation expense for one year is
= 40% of $6,500
= $2,600
Now the depreciation expense for the second year is
= ($6,500 - $2,600) ×40%
= $1,560
The Cullumber Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $65 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,500 per month
Utilities $1,000 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,940 per month
Maid service $24 per room
Other costs $46 per room
Required:
Determine the innâs break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost and the total unitary variable cost:
Total fixed cost= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance
Total fixed cost= 7,500 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 2,940
Total fixed cost= $12,540
Total unitary variable cost= 24 + 46
Total unitary variable cost= $70
As the unitary contribution margin is negative (65 - 70), the company will never break even. I will assume that the selling price is incorrect, and the room costs $85:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 12,450 / (85 - 70)
Break-even point in units= 830
On January 1, 2020, Fiscus Company purchased equipment costing $90,000. Fiscus records depreciation expense for the equipment at the rate of $1,000/month. What is the credit balance in FIscus Company's accumulated depreciation account for this equipment at December 31, 2020
Answer:
the credit balance in FIscus Company's accumulated depreciation account for this equipment at December 31, 2020 is $120,000
Explanation:
The computation of the credit balance is shown below:
= Depreciation expense per month × number of months
= $1,000 × 12 months
= $120,000
Hence, the credit balance in FIscus Company's accumulated depreciation account for this equipment at December 31, 2020 is $120,000

The Trailer division of Baxter Bicycles makes bike trailers that attach to bicycles and can carry children or cargo. The trailers have a retail price of $107 each. Each trailer incurs $44 of variable manufacturing costs. The Trailer division has capacity for 24,000 trailers per year and incurs fixed costs of $560,000 per year. Required: 1. Assume the Assembly division of Baxter Bicycles wants to buy 5,600 trailers per year from the Trailer division. If the Trailer division can sell all of the trailers it manufactures to outside customers, what price should be used on transfers between Baxter Bicycles's divisions
Answer: $107
Explanation:
When a division is able to sell all of its products to consumers outside the company, the transfer price within the company should be at the same price that the good would be sold to outside consumers.
This is to ensure that the division does not suffer an economic loss by selling to another division instead of selling to an outside customer. In this case therefore, the Trailer division should transfer the trailers at the retail price of $107 that it would have made from selling to outside customers.
An automatic stabilizer:________
a) increases inflationary pressure during expansions.
b) increases the drop in disposable income during recessions and increases the jump in disposable income during expansions.
c) increases tax revenue relative to government spending throughout the business cycle.
d) decreases tax revenue relative to government spending throughout the business cycle.
e) reduces the drop in disposable income during recessions and reduces the jump in disposable income during expansions.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . examples include progressive tax and transfer payments
In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income
In a contraction, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income
Automatic stabilizers contrasts with discretionary fiscal policies.
Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes
Suppose a third firm enters the market. If they all don't cheat, then they split the profits three ways so that each firm gets 2 million. If one firm cheats, he steals profits from the other two firms and earns 5.5 million while the other firms incur losses of 1 million. Will it be harder or easier to sustain cooperation?
Answer: Harder to sustain cooperation
Explanation:
When the number of firms in an oligopolistic market increases as is the case here, cooperation becomes harder because profits become smaller so companies start to become more selfish.
Also in this scenario, the cheating firm has the incentive to do so because the profit is so much higher than sharing so companies will always be looking to cheat in order to make this profit. The other firms would reply by reducing prices and all of them would suffer.
A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular sold, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,612,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. The contribution margin per composite unit is: Product Unit Sales Price Variable Cost Per Unit Regular $ 20 $ 8 Ultra 24 4 Multiple Choice
Answer:
$12
$20
Explanation:
contribution margin = price - variable cost
20 - 8= 12
24 - 4 = 20
Roosevelt Corporation has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales for Roosevelt are 40,000 Standard and 60,000 Supreme. Fixed expenses are $1,800,000. How many Standards would Roosevelt sell at the break-even point?
A. 36,000
B. 40,000
C. 60,000
D. 24,000
Answer:
D. 24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many Standards would Roosevelt sell at the break-even point
First step
Total sales = 40000 + 60000
Total sales= 100000 units
Second step
Standard = 40000 / 100000
Standard= 0.4
Third step
Supreme = 60000 / 100000
Supreme= 0.6
Fourth step
Overall break even in units = 1800000 / 30
Overall break even in units= 60000 units
Now let calculate the Standards sales at break even point
Standards sales at break even point = 60000 *
0.4
Standards sales at break even point =24000 units
Therefore the Standards sales at break even point is 24000 units
