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?

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.

A recent start-up company, which we will call Dronegistics, has developed an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle, or drone. The company plans to sell its drones to companies who would use them to make commercial deliveries within congested urban areas. Dronegistics has identified several markets in Asia as having high commercial potential. Japan and Singapore are perceived to have the strongest market potential currently, but mainland China, Thailand, and Malaysia are perceived to have strong and growing potential over time, even if their potential may not be as strong currently. Despite expectations that several other firms will introduce competitive products in the near future, which will have an impact on the attractiveness for later entrants, Dronegistics lacks the experience and resources to enter more than one Asian market at a time. The decision-making challenge facing Dronegistics incorporates all of the following location clocks associated with timing decisions EXCEPT the:
__a. firm clock.
__b. location clock.
__c. incentives clock.

Explanation:
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]

Beginning Ending
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
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.
William has an A.A. in general studies, but he does not know what career he wants to pursue. He decides to get a job for a year before going back to school. He wants a job near home in an office. He enjoys collaborating with other employees. William places a lot of value on freedom of thought and action at work. He needs about $50,000 per year.
William interviews at a company as an entry level sales person. He learns that it takes about 15 minutes to drive to the office. His job would be to work in a cubicle on a phone talking to potential clients from a script. The job pays about $50,000 per year with the possibility for performance-based bonuses.
Which factor makes this job a poor fit for William?
a. The company is in a bad location.
b. He wants more freedom in how he makes sales.
c. He is opposed to sales work.
d. The job does not pay enough money.
Answer:
b. He wants more freedom in how he makes sales.
Explanation:
The factor that makes this job an inappropriate fit for William corresponds to the lack of freedom in the way he makes sales, as all the other requirements that Willian wants for the job are met, such as the possibility that his office is only 15 minutes away from his office. home and also the $ 50,000 annual income he wants to raise.
However, in the announcement of the issue, a little bit is said about Willian's personality, who likes to collaborate with other employees and who values freedom of thought and action at work.
So the working conditions offered by the company can be an impediment for Willian to accept the job offer, since his job would be to work in a cubicle on a phone talking to potential clients from a script, and this could conflict with his professional profile, which needs more freedom to be able to express itself and reach its maximum efficiency.
It is concluded that this question shows the importance of an individual looking for a job in a company that identifies with the culture and organizational values, as well as the importance of companies selecting candidates with the most appropriate profile for the company, for that the work develops the capacities and skills of the employee, in order to make the work more motivating and productive.

2. The Dividend payout ratio is 0.193 or 19.3%
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

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

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%

Opponents of tax reforms intended to raise saving argue that such reforms a. favor those with high income, and that saving may not rise because of the substitution effect. b. favor those with high income, and that saving may not rise because of the income effect. c. favor those with low income, and that saving may not rise because of the substitution effect. d. favor those with low income, and that saving may not rise because of the income effect.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, under such tax reforms the government is intending to raise indirect taxes which will lead to higher prices of certain goods and is also declining taxes on savings. Both of these steps will work as an incentive for individuals to save more.
However a big majority of community is stating that this will only lead to more burden on the weaker section due to higher prices of commodities and will eventually result in lower standard of living for certain individuals.
The Milwaukee Bucks are considering whether they should add an additional vending area, at a cost of $500,000, to the new arena in downtown Milwaukee. They will only make the investment if it will result in an ROR of 15% or higher. The revenue is expected to be between $138,000 and $165,000 per year for five years. Use a present worth analysis to determine if the decision to invest is sensitive to the projected range of revenue.
Answer:
The required cash flow to earn 15% per year is $ 149,157.8
Now, If the expected cash flow is more than $ 149,157.8 per year, they can invest the amount, else it is not suggestible/advisable.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Milwaukee Bucks are considering whether they should add an additional vending area, at a cost of = $500,000
The investment to be made will result in a ROR = 15%
Expected revenue = between $138,000 and $165,000
Now,
The Computation of Required Cash flow per year is stated as follows:
= Initial Investment / PVAF (r%, n )
= $ 500,000 / PVAF (15%, 5)
= $ 500,000 / 3.3522
= $ 149,157.8
Thus,
The required flow of cash to earn 15% per year is $ 149,157.8
If the expected cash flow is more than $ 149,157.8 per year, they can invest the amount, else it is not suggestible.

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.

You have a $5,000 medical bill and health insurance with a $500 deductible. You also have a 80/20 co-insurance, meaning the insurance pays 80% and the insured pays 20%. What is your total out-of-pocket expense for the original $5,000 bill?
Answer:
$1,400
Explanation:
Out-of-pocket expense refers to the payment you have to make for medical attention costs that are not reimbursed by your insurance like deductibles and coinsurance. In this case, you have to pay a $500 deductible and you are also responsible for the 20% of $4,500 that is the remaining amount as the insurance will cover the 80%. The total out of the pocket expense would be equal to the sum of the deductible plus the 20% of the reamining amount:
Out-of-pocket expense= 500+(4,500*20%)
Out-of-pocket expense= 500+900
Out-of-pocket expense= 1,400
According to this, your total out-of-pocket expense for the original $5,000 bill is $1,400.
