Explanation:
The Clark Sports Camp operates three sports programs: basketball, lacrosse and field hockey. The camp provides a unique opportunity for boys and girls to engage in intensive summer sports activities. Parents often bring their all of children for the six week session. Due to diminishing profits in the basketball program, they are considering eliminating the basketball program. Camp owner Mikey Matheny has asked you to review the income statement, determine the impact on profit from dropping the basketball program and make a recommendation.
Clark Sports Camp Project Income Statement
Total Basketball Lacrosse Field Hockey
Camp Tuition $190,000 $75,000 $65,000 $50,000
Variable Costs $26,000 $12,000 $8,000 $6,000
for Food and Staff
Contribution Margin $ 164,000 $63,000 $57,000 $44,000
Fixed Expenses
Rent - Traceable $25,000 $10,000 $7,500 $7,500
Salaries of Sports $21,000 $10,000 $10,000 $1,000
Program Directors*
Allocated Common $90,000 $41,538 $27,692 $20,769
Fixed Expenses**
Total Fixed Expenses $136,000 $61,538 $45,192 $29,269
Net Operating Income $28,000 $1,462 $11,808 $14,731
(Loss)
*There is NO alternative work for the sports directors, if the sport program is eliminated, the sport program director will be eliminated.
**Common Fixed Costs are allocated based upon the number of campers but will remain constant.
Use the information above to answer questions 1-3.
1. What is the impact on profit if the basketball program is dropped?
2. For partial credit on the problem above, you can upload a spreadsheet here. (You will not receive full credit for the problem shown above if you do not upload a spreadsheet.)
3. Assume now that we are able to eliminate $50,000 of the allocated fixed costs if we drop the basketball program. What do you recommend? Write a memo to Mr. Matheny outlining your recommendation and your reasoning. Be sure to consider all of the stakeholders and use an appropriate decision model.
Answer:
1. Impact on profits:
Contribution Margin = $63,000
Less: Traceable Rent = $10,000
Less: Salary of Director = $10,000
Total avoidable fixed expenses = $20,000
Decrease in Profits = $43,000
Hence, the profits will reduce by $43,000 if the basketball program is eliminated.
3. If the allocated fixed costs can be reduced by $50,000. The program should be dropped since there will be an increase in profits by $7,000 (50,000 - 43,000). The avoidable costs and revenues should be taken into account for the purpose of this decision. If the avoidable costs are more than the revenues, the line should be dropped else not.
Hence, since after considering the reduction in allocated fixed costs, the avoidable costs are greater than revenues, the program should be dropped
. Suppose this year you buy 5% coupon rate, $100 face value bond for $90 that has 3 years left till maturity. Suppose next year market interest rates decrease to 2% and you decide to sell it your bond that year.a) Calculate the selling price of your bond next year. In another words, what price would make your bond competitive when market yields are at 2.0%?
Answer:
$105.83
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price of the bond is as follows
Number of coupons remaining = n = 2
Coupon amount = C = 100 × 5% = $5
Maturity amount = FV = $100
Purchase price = P = $90
Selling price = PV of future payments at 2%
Now
Selling price = S is
= 5 × (P/A,0.02,2) + 100 × (P/F,0.02,2)
= 5 × 1.9416 + 100 × 0.9612
= $105.83
Discuss whether the human capital and signaling models have different implications for each of the following education policies:
A. Providing financial aid to students for college.
B. Introducing a test that high school students could take to provide reliable measures of task commitment and capacity to work effectively in teams.
C. Increasing the age at which students can drop out of high school from 16 to 17.
Answer:
A. Providing financial aid to the students will have signaling effect for students and they will study with more concentration. The financial aid helps students to focus on their studies rather than financial problems.
Explanation:
B. Test will enable to analyze the capability of students and identify whether the students has interest in certain field of education. The students who score high in the test are selected to study in the college.
C. Increase in age will increase the human capital. More students will be able to join the college. Some students might have lapsed a year due to an injury or illness and they are now been able to join the college despite of their age.
For each separate case below, follow the 3-step process for adjusting the accrued expense account: Step 1: Determine what the current account balance equals. Step 2: Determine what the current account balance should equal. Step 3: Record an adjusting entry to get from step 1 to step 2. Assume no other adjusting entries are made during the year.
a. Salaries Payable. At year-end, salaries expense of $18,500 has been incurred by the company, but is not yet paid to employees. Interest Payable. At its December 31 year-end, the company owes $400 of interest on a line-of-credit loan. That interest will not be paid until sometime in January of the next year.
b. Interest Payable. At its December 31 year-end, the company holds a mortgage payable that has incurred $1,025 in annual interest that is neither recorded nor paid. The company intends to pay the interest on January 7 of the next year.
c. Interest Payable. At its December 31 year-end, the company holds a mortgage payable that has incurred $875 in annual interest that is neither recorded nor paid. The company intends to pay the interest on January 7 of the next year.
Answer:
a. Salaries Expense (Dr.) $18,500
Salaries Payable (Cr.) $18,500
b. Interest Expense (Dr.) $85
Interest Payable (Cr.) $85
c. Interest Expense (Dr.) $75
Interest Payable (Cr.) $75
Explanation:
The adjusting entries are made at the month or year end to adjust the transactions that were recorded. The adjustment is usually made for the transaction whose impact is changed at the month end. For the given case the interest amount recorded was for the annual but for monthly recording the interest expense will be divided by 12.

Explanation:
Decorative Concrete produces a concrete overlay for residential and commercial concrete flooring. Customers have complained that one of the products results in excessive cracking. The likelihood the company will incur a loss on this product is probable and the amount of the loss is estimated to be somewhere between $1.1 and $4 million.
1. Should this contingent liability be reported, disclosed in a note only, or both? To be reported To be disclosed Both2. What loss, if any, should Decorative Concrete report in its income statement?3. What liability, if any should Decorative Concrete report in its balance sheet?4. What entry, if any should be recorded in the journal?
Answer:
Decorative Concrete
1. This contingent liability should be disclosed in a note only.
2. Decorative Concrete should not report any loss in its income statement, yet.
3. Decorative Concrete should not report any liability in its balance sheet, yet.
4. No entry should be recorded in the journal.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated loss = $1.1 and $4 million
Loss is probable but the loss cannot be reasonably estimated
b) Decorative Concrete cannot reasonably estimate the loss that may arise from the contingent liability. Therefore, it should only disclose the future event in a note to the financial statements. Accounting rules specify that Decorative Concrete should record this event as a contingent liability in its accounts when it is probable that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. At that time, a specific amount of loss will be recorded (debit) and a specific liability established (credit) in advance of the settlement. In this Decorative's case, only one condition is met.
Assume an investor acquired 100% of the voting common stock of an investee on January 1, 2012 in a transaction that qualifies as a business combination. As a result of the acquisition, the investor recognized no goodwill and no bargain purchase gain in the post-acquisition consolidated financial statements (i.e., all of the resulting Acquisition Accounting Premium relates to identifiable net assets). The investor uses the equity method to account for its pre-consolidation investment in the investee. In addition, there are no intercompany transactions between the investor and investee. The following summarized pre-consolidation financial statement information is for the year ending December 31, 2019
Income Statement Investor Investee
Revenues $2,232,000 $307,200

What amount of "expenses" will appear in the consolidated income statement for the year ending December 31, 2019?
a. $1,800,000
b. $1,956,000
c. $1,975,200
d. $1,965,600
Answer:
d. $1,965,600
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of expense appear in the consolidated income statement is as follows:
= Investor + investee + expenses related to purchase
= $1,800,000 + $156,000 + ($151,200 - $141,600)
= $1,800,000 + $156,000 + $9,600
= $1,965,600
hence, the d option is correct
Piekos Corporation incurred $90,000 of actual Manufacturing Overhead costs during June. During the same period, the Manufacturing Overhead applied to Work in Process was $92,000. The journal entry to record the application of Manufacturing Overhead to Work in Process would include a:
Answer:
C. credit to Manufacturing Overhead of $92,000
Explanation:
The journal entry for the application of Manufacturing to Work in Process amounting to $92,000 would be as follows:
Dr. ($) Cr. ($)
Work in Process 92,000
Manufacturing Overhead 92,000
The other options are incorrect either due to wrong particular used or due to incorrect amount such as in option (b) where the Debit to Work in Process is correct but the amount $90,000 is wrong. Hence, the option (c) Credit to Manufacturing Overhead of $92,000 is the correct answer.
A small company wishes to set up a fund that can be used for technology purchases over the next 6 years. Their forecast is for $16,000 to be needed at the end of year 1, decreasing by $2,000 each year thereafter. The fund earns 6% per year. How much money must be deposited to the fund at the end of year 0 to just deplete the fund after the last withdrawal
Answer:
$55,758.47
Explanation:
Money which must be deposited to the fund at the end of year 0:
= 16000/1.06 + 14000/1.06^2 + 12000/1.06^3 + 10000/1.06^4 + 8000/1.06^5 + 6000/1.06^6
= 16000/1.06 + 14000/1.1236 + 12000/1.191016 + 10000/1.26247696 + 8000/1.33823 + 6000/1.41852
= 55758.4640346
= $55,758.47
For each of the following transactions, indicate whether it represents an increase in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), and, if so, state whether it represents U.S. consumption, investment, government purchases of goods or services, or net exports. If the transaction does not change U.S. GDP explain why not?
a. Ms. Scott buys a used Honda Accordfrom her friend Danielle for $7,500.
b. You spent $12,500 on college tuition this year.
c. Pizza Hut buys 100 pounds of cheese from Wisconsin to make pizzas.
d. Mr. Luong is a Chinese citizen who works as a Chemistry teaching assistant at UC Mercedandearns $16,000 a year in salary.
e. A candy store buys $500 worth of chocolates made in Belgium.
f. Boeing produces 5 airplanes but are unable to sell them.
Answer:
a. No change in GDP.
There will be no change in GDP resulting from this transaction. Resales are considered double counting because the good had already been paid for before and so will inflate GDP.
b. GDP increase by $12,500. U.S. Consumption.
This is a consumption transaction as money is being spent to satisfy the need for education. It will therefore increase GDP by $12,500.
c. No change in GDP.
Intermediate goods to be used in production are not included in GDP to avoid double counting. Only the final value of goods and services are included. This is an intermediate good and so will not be included.
d. Increase in GDP $16,000. Government purchase of goods or services.
Mr. Luong works in a Public University which means that his salary is paid for by the government. This will increase GDP by $16,000 as it represents money spent by Government.
e. Decrease in GDP $500. Net Exports.
As this good was bought from outside the country, it is an import. Imports reduce a country's GDP because they reduce the Net exports. GDP will therefore reduce by $500.
f. Increase in GDP by plane value. Investment.
So long as the goods have already been produced in their final form, they will be part of GDP. They will increase GDP by their value and are a part of Investment.

What amount should be included in the financing section of the 2010 statement of cash flows for dividends paid?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question, however, from a similar question values of beginning retained earnings, ending retained earnings were given to compute the dividend paid.
Given that;
Beginning retained earnings = $700 million
Ending retained earnings = $450 million
Net income = $1,516 million
Closing retained earning = Beginning retained earning + Net income - Dividends paid
$450 = $700 + $1,516 - Dividends paid
$450 = $2,216 - Dividends paid
Dividends paid = $1,766

An employee, Glen Riley, comes to her on November 6 and requests a pay advance of $1,650, which he will pay back in equal parts on the November 15 and December 15 paychecks. Glen is married with eight withholding allowances and is paid $58,640 per year. He contributes 3 percent of his pay to a 401(k) and has $25 per paycheck deducted for a Section 125 plan.
Required:
Compute his net pay on his November 15 paycheck.
Answer:
Net pay is $1,201.80
Explanation:
The salary is $58,640 annually
The semi monthly gross salary will be ($58,640 / 24) = $2,443.33
The deductions will be:
Social security 6.2% = $151.49
Medicare 1.45% = $35.42
3% contribution to 401k = $73.30
Section 125 Plan = $25
Advance repayment ($1,650 / 2) = $825
Taxable Income is $2,443.33 - $73.30 - $25 = $2,345.03
Federal Income Tax 1.6% = $37.52
State Income Tax 4% = $93.80
Net pay is ($2,345.03 - $37.52 - $93.80 - $151.49 - $35.42 - $825) = $1,201.80

Decisions about pricing strategies should be set in conjunction with other marketing decisions about product design, packaging, branding, distribution, and promotion. All these marketing decisions are interrelated. Prices must be related to the cost of producing the product and prices are usually set somewhere above cost. But price and cost aren't always related. There are three major approaches to pricing strategy: cost-based, demand-based (target costing), and competition-based. Other pricing strategies include skimming price strategy, penetration strategy, everyday low pricing (EDLP), high-low pricing strategy, bundling, psychological pricing, and demand-oriented pricing. Match each scenario to the strategy it best illustrates.
1. When the Mays family went to Europe, they used a travel agent who worked out a trip that included airfare, hotels, and some tours all for one price.
2. Marquis Suites shows movies in a "living room" atmosphere with comfortable chairs and food and beverage service. It deliberately charges more than other theaters for this experience.
3. Chad is a do-it-yourself guy. He shops at Home Depot because, although they don’t usually run sales, he knows the store will offer the lowest price around on the tools he needs.
4. A major national retailer charges "full retail" for most of the lines it carries but runs "special sales" during which the company lowers its price.
5. When Walmart enters a new geographic area, the company undersells its more well-established competitors and eventually raises its prices once it has a loyal customer base.
6. When Aaron was looking for mortgage lenders, he noticed that one major lender lowered their rates, and several others did the same within a few days.
7. Larry Dietzel, a real estate agent, advised his clients to price their home at $199,900 when they listed with his agency.
8. Overture Audio home theater systems can run as high as $100,000 but there are only a few companies offering the systems.
