Answer:
the numbers are missing, so i looked for a similar question to fill in the blanks:
Trade Mart has recently had lackluster sales. The rate of inventory turnover has? dropped, and the merchandise is gathering dust. At the same time, competition has forced Trade Mart's suppliers to lower the prices that Trade Mart will pay when it replaces its inventory. It is now December 31, 2016, and the current replacement cost Trade Mart's ending inventory is $75,000 below what Trade Mart actually paid for the goods, which was $200,000.
Before any adjustments at the end of the? period, the Cost of Goods Sold account has a balance of $$820,000.
a. What accounting action should take in this situation?
lower-of-cost-or-market rule to account for inventories.the adjustment entry should be:
Dr Cost of goods sold 75,000
Cr Inventory 75,000
b. The net realizable value of ending inventory is?
equal to actual cost, so must write down inventory to match net realizable valueEnding inventory = $200,000 - $75,000 = $125,000
On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
Answer:
the question says she used low estimates to make the statement look good.
Explanation:
here are the answers:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took
Tamira was wrong for providing low estimates. She should have been truthful in her estimation. If some items were not estimated she should have made it known that those items were still under review. Using low estimates on purpose is not ethical and unacceptable by GAAP standards.
She would have been straight with the president and let him know the time frame was not enough for the finalization of the statements. She would have instead given a time frame when the internal draft would be ready.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
If I were tamira, I will not raise or reduce figures on purpose just to make the statements look presentable. I will be truthful on figures and estimates I used and why I did. If the president would pressurize me to do the wrong thing, I will have no option than to leave the organization to avoid going against ethical standards since such actions have legal implications.

University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs
455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs
Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Printing = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%
Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs
315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.

Refer to the accompanying figures. If Mallory and Rick are the only two consumers in this market and the price of soda is $0.75 per can, then what will be the market demand for soda each month?
Answer:
the market demand is 50
Explanation:
The computation of the market demand for soda is shown below:
As we know that the market demand is the sum of the individual demand total
So in the given case, the market demand would be
= Mallory demand at $0.75 per can + Rick demand at $0.75 per can
= 30 + 20
= 50
Hence, the market demand is 50
Tom purchased a bond today with a 20-year maturity and a yield to maturity (YTM) of 6%. The coupon rate is 8% and coupons are paid annually. The par value is $1,000. Tom is going to hold this bond for 3 years and sell the bond at the end of year 3. The bond's yield to maturity will change to 8% at the time when Tom sells the bond. Assume coupons can be reinvested in short term securities over the next three years at an annual rate of 10%. Which of the following regarding Tom’s annual holding period return (HPR) of this bond investment is correct?
I. Tom’s annual HPR will be higher than 6% due to a capital gain from selling the bond at year 3
II. Tom’s annual HPR will be lower than 6% due to a capital loss from selling the bond at year 3
III. Tom’s annual HPR will be higher than 6% due to the higher reinvestment rate of 10%
IV. Tom’s annual HPR will be lower than 6% because gains from the 10% reinvestment rate will be largely offset by the capital loss from selling the bond at year 3
a. I only
b. II only
c. III only
d. I and III only
e. II and IV only
Answer:
The answer happens to be:
e. II and IV only
II. Tom’s annual HPR will be lower than 6% due to a capital loss from selling the bond at year 3

Explanation:
A company is about to begin production of a new product. The manager of the department that will produce one of the components for the new product wants to know how often the machine used to produce the item will be available for other work. The machine will produce the item at a rate of 200 units a day. Eighty units will be used daily in assembling the final product. Assembly will take place five days a week, 50 weeks a year. The manager estimates that it will take a full day to get the machine ready for a production run, at a cost of $250. Inventory holding costs will be $10 a year.
Required:
a. What run quantity should be used to minimize total annual costs?
b. What is the length of a production run in days?
c. During production, at what rate will inventory build-up?
d. lf the manager wants to run another job between runs of this item, and needs a minimum of 10 days per cycle for the other work, will there be enough time?
e. Given your answer to part d, the manager wants to explore options that will allow this other job to be performed using this equipment. Name three options the manager can consider.
f. Suppose the manager decides to increase the run size of the new product. How many additional units would be needed to just accommodate the other job? How much will that increase the total annual cost?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given that :
Production rate (p) = 200 units / day
daily usage (d) = 80 units / day
Assembly, a = 5 days a week ; 50 weeks a year
Setup cost (S) = $250
Holding cost (H )= $10
A) Run quantity to minimize total annual cost:
√(2DS/H) * √p / (p - d)
D = annual demand = (80 * 5 * 50) = 20,000
√(2(20000)(250)/10) * √200 / (200 - 80)
1000 * 1.2909944
= 1290.99
= 1291 units
B) Run length :
1291 / 200 = 6.455 days
C) Inventory build up:
Daily production - daily usage:
(200 - 80) = 120 units / day
The data required to answer the question are
production rate = 200/dayusage = 80 per dayAssembly = 5 per week and 50 weeks per yearCost of set up = 250 dollarsHolding cost = 10 dollarsA. To minimize the total annual cost[tex]\sqrt{2ds/h} *\sqrt{p/(p-d)}[/tex]
annual demand = 80 x 5 x 50 = 20,000
sqrt(2x20000)x(250)/10) * sqrt200/(200-80)
1000 x 1.2909944
= 1290.99
The total units when approximated = 1291 units
B) The length of a production in days =
1291 / 200 = 6.455 days
C) What is the Inventory build up?
200 - 80 = 120 units per day
d. If the manager wants to run a cycle that needs 10 days per cycle there is going to be enough time for him to do so.
e. Other options that he has to explore are labor, capital and time factor.
d. Increasing the run size is going to increase the total annual cost by the amount

Explanation:
The formula for calculating simple interest is as follows.
I = P x R x T,
where I = interest
P= Principal
R= interest rate
T= time
For the loan at 4.5 percent for 2 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 4.5/100 x 2
= $4,840 x 0.045 x 2
= $435.6
Total cost of the loan will principal plus interest
=$435.6 + $4,840
=$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost
= $5,275.6/24
=$219.81
Total loan cost..$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost ...$219.81
For the Loan at 6 percent for 5 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 6/100 x 5
= $4,840 x 0.06 x 5
=$1,452
Total cost of the loan will be principal plus interest
=$ 4,840 + $1,452
=$6,292
Monthly costs will be
=$6,292/60
=$104.87
Total loan cost... $6,292
Monthly loan costs... $104.87

Federated Fabrications leased a tooling machine on January 1, 2021, for a three-year period ending December 31, 2023. The lease agreement specified annual payments of $48,000 beginning with the first payment at the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 through 2022. The company had the option to purchase the machine on December 30, 2023, for $57,000 when its fair value was expected to be $72,000, a sufficient difference that exercise seems reasonably certain. The machine's estimated useful life was six years with no salvage value. Federated was aware that the lessor’s implicit rate of return was 10%.
Required:
a. Calculate the amount Federated should record as a right-of-use asset and lease liability for this finance lease.
b. Prepare an amortization schedule that describes the pattern of interest expense for Federated over the lease term.
c. Prepare the appropriate entries for Federated from the beginning of the lease through the end of the lease term.
Answer:
All requirements solved
Explanation:
we can calculate the right of use asset and lease liability by determining the present value of all future cash flows and after calculating present values sum them up
Requirement 1: Right of use asset and lease liability
Present value (year 0) = 48,000 / (1+10%)^0 = 48,000
Present value (year 1) = 48,000 x 1/(1+10%)^1
Present value (year 1) = 48,000 x 0.909 = 43,636
Present value (year 2) = 48,000 x 1/(1+10%)^2
Present value (year 2) = 48,000 x 0.826 = 39,670
Present value (year 3) = 57,000 x 1/(1+10%)^3
Present value (year 3) = 57,000 x 0.751 = 42,825
Total present value = 48,000 + 43,636 + 39,670 + 42,825
Total present value = 174,131
Right of use asset and lease liability = 174,131

Lina Martinez wants to buy a new high-end audio system for her car. The system is being sold by two dealers in town, both of whom sell the equipment for the same price of $2,000. Lina can buy the equipment from Dealer A, with no money down, by making payments of $118.28 a month for 18 months; she can buy the same equipment from Dealer B by making 36 monthly payments of $70.31 (again, with no money down). Lina is considering purchasing the system from Dealer B because of the lower payment.
Find the APR for Dealer A.
Use the financial calculator and Find the APR for Dealer B
Answer:
dealer A:
total interest charged = ($118.28 x 18 months) - $2,000 = $129.04
APR = [($129.04 / $2,000) / 1.5 periods] x 100% = 4.3%
dealer B:
total interest charged = ($70.31 x 36 months) - $2,000 = $531.16
APR = [($531.16 / $2,000) / 3 periods] x 100% = 8.85%
The APR charged by dealer A is much lower than the APR charged by dealer B. Even thought the monthly payments are much lower for dealer B, the total amount of interest charged is much higher.
"Ayres Services acquired an asset for $80 million in 2021." The asset is depreciated for financial reporting purposes over four years on a straight-line basis (no residual value). Ayers deducted 100% of the asset's cost for income tax reporting in 2021. The enacted tax rate is 25%. Amounts for pretax accounting income, depreciation, and taxable income in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 are as follows: ($ in millions)
2021 2022 2023 2024
Pretax accounting income $330 $350 $365 $400
Depreciation on the income statement 20 20 20 20
Depreciation on the tax return (80 ) (0 ) (0 ) (0 )
Taxable income $270 $370 $385 $420
For December 31 of each year, determine:
a. The cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset.
b. The balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account.
Answer:
a. The cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset are as follows:
December 31, 2021 = $60 million
December 31, 2022 = $40 million
December 31, 2023 = $20 million
December 31, 2024 = $0
b. The balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account are as follows.
December 31, 2021 = $15 million
December 31, 2022 = $10 million
December 31, 2023 = $5 million
December 31, 2024 = $0
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset and the balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account for December 31 of years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 in bold red color.
In the attached excel file, the following formula are used:
Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the previous year + (Depreciation on the tax return at December 31 of the current year - Depreciation on the income statement at December 31 of the current year)
Balance to be reported in deferred tax liability account at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year * Tax rate

Lina Martinez wants to buy a new high-end audio system for her car. The system is being sold by two dealers in town, both of whom sell the equipment for the same price of $2,000. Lina can buy the equipment from Dealer A, with no money down, by making payments of $118.28 a month for 18 months; she can buy the same equipment from Dealer B by making 36 monthly payments of $70.31 (again, with no money down). Lina is considering purchasing the system from Dealer B because of the lower payment.
Find the APR for Dealer A.
Use the financial calculator and Find the APR for Dealer B
Answer:
dealer A:
total interest charged = ($118.28 x 18 months) - $2,000 = $129.04
APR = [($129.04 / $2,000) / 1.5 periods] x 100% = 4.3%
dealer B:
total interest charged = ($70.31 x 36 months) - $2,000 = $531.16
APR = [($531.16 / $2,000) / 3 periods] x 100% = 8.85%
The APR charged by dealer A is much lower than the APR charged by dealer B. Even thought the monthly payments are much lower for dealer B, the total amount of interest charged is much higher.
Norton Associates is an advertising agency in Austin, Texas. The company's controller estimated that it would incur $264,000 in overhead costs for the current year. Because the overhead costs of each project change in direct proportion to the amount of direct professional hours incurred, the controller decided that overhead should be applied on the basis of professional hours. The controller estimated 22,000 professional hours for the year. During October, Norton incurred the following costs to make a 20-second TV commercial for Central Texas Bank:Direct materials $ 32,000Direct professional hours ($65/hour) 1,200The industry customarily bills customers at 150% of total cost.1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.2. What is the total amount of the bill that Norton will send Central Texas Bank?
Answer:
$186,600
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
= Estimated manufacturing overhead / expected tptal labor hours
= $264,000 / 22,000 hours
= $12
Now for determining the total amount of bill first determine the total cost which is shown below:
Total cost is
= Direct material + direct cost + overhead cost
= $32,000 + 1,200 * $65 + 1,200 * $12
= $32,000 + $78,000 + $14,400
= $124,400
Now the total amount of the bill is
= 150% of $124,400
= $186,600

Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?
Answer:
You should use the discount coupon to pay for the Chicago-Miami trip. Not considering the personal motivations for the trip, the coupon is worth $500. The cost of flying is $600, so you will only pay $100 yourself. You will be spending $900 + $1000 = $1,000 in total.
The opportunity cost of using the coupon is $350 (the cost of the round trip to Atlanta). Even if you add the $350 to the $1,000 expense, the total is $1,350, less than your $1,400 maximum budget.
An individual has $2000 in physical assets, and $600 in cash initially. This person faces the following loss distribution to the wealth. Full insurance is available at $600
Probability Loss
0.5 0
0.1 200
0.2 400
0.1 1000
0.1 2000
The Individual can also buy partial insurance with i. a $200 deductible, or ii. 75% coinsurance, or iii. Upper limit on coverage, with the limit being $1000. The premium on each partial coverage policy is $450.
Required:
Provide a ranking of the four types of policies for the individual, in terms of preference if the preference function is given by U(FW) = LN(1+FW), where FW is final wealth of the individual.
Answer with Explanation:
Probability Expected Loss Loss Forecast
0.5 0 0
0.1 200 20
0.2 400 80
0.1 1000 100
0.1 2000 200
1.00 Total 400
Now,
A. Final Wealth with no Insurance = Physical Assets of the person + Cash Assets - Total Loss Forecast
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with no Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $400 = $2,200
B. For Full insurance, we will not consider expected loss because we will receive Insurance Premium instead:
Final Wealth with Full Insurance = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with Full Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $600 = $2,000
C. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium For Partial Coverage - Deductible
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles = $2,000 + $600 - $450 - $200 = $1,950
D. Final Wealth with 75% Co-insurance = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium - Co-payment
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with 75% Co-Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $450 - (75% * $400)
= $1,850
E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium - Maximum Loss Expected
By putting values, we have:
= $2,000 + $600 - $450 - (Probability 0.1 * $2,000) = $1950
From the above, we can say that the best option here in descending order is as under:
1. A. Final Wealth with no Insurance
2. B. With Full insurance
3. C. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles & E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit
4. E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit

The members of the Federal Reserve System must hold some of their deposits in cash in their vaults. This represents?
A - discount rates
B - reserved requirements
C - selective credit controls
D - open market operations.
Answer:
B-reserved requirements
Explanation:
A retrofitted space-heating system is being considered for a small office building. The system can be purchased and installed for $125,000, and it will save an estimated 250,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electric power each year over a five-year period. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $0.09, and the company uses a MARR of 15% per year in its economic evaluations of refurbished systems. The market value of the system will be $7,000 at the end of five years, and additional annual operating and maintenance expenses are negligible.
Required:
Use the benefit-cost method to make a recommendation.
Answer:
Retrofitted Space-Heating System
Benefit-Cost Ratio = $75,420/$121,521
= 0.6206
= 0.62
Benefit is less than 1. Therefore, project will not deliver positive NPV.
Recommendation:
It is better and cheaper to incur electricity costs than to purchase the retrofitted space-heating system. The retrofitting benefit does not justify the cost of the project.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase cost of system = $125,000
Salvage value (PV of $7,000 in five years) = $3,479
Total cost of project = $121,521 ($125,000 - 3,479)
Benefit of Project = Savings in 250,000 kWh annually
Cost of a kilowatt-hour = $0.09
Total annual cost of electricity = $22,500 (250,000 * $0.09)
Annuity Factor for 5 years = 3.352
Present value of annuity of $22,500 = $75,420 ($22,500 * 3.352)
Benefit-Cost = $75,420/$121,521
= 0.6206
= 0.62

Contribution margin 330,000 165,000 165,000
Traceable fixed expenses 156,000 78,000 78,000
Segment margin 174,000 $87,000 $87,000
Common fixed expenses 69,000
Net operating income $105,000
Required:
a. Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales.
b. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.
c. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.
Answer:
A. 562,500
B. 260,000
C. 130,000
Explanation:
First step is to find the Contribution margin ratio using this formula
Contribution margin ratio=Contribution margin÷Sales
Contribution margin 330,000 165,000 165,000
÷Divide by Sales 825,000 550,000 275,000
=Contribution margin ratio 40.00% 30.00% 60.00%
Second step is to find the Break even
Break even = Fixed expenses/Contribution margin ratio
1. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales.
Dollar sales for company to break-even=
(156,000+69,000)/40%
Dollar sales for company to break=225,000/40%
Dollar sales for company to break=562,500
2. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region
Dollar sales for North segment to break-even= Dollar sales for North segment to break-even=78,000/30%
Dollar sales for North segment to break-even=260,000
3. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region
Dollar sales for South segment to break-even Dollar sales for South segment to break-even=78,000/60%
Dollar sales for South segment to break-even=130,000
