Answer: 1.3%
Explanation:
Inflation refers to general increase in prices in a given economy in a given period. Given the variables available, the best formula to use would be the Economic growth formula;
Economic Growth = %Δ Nominal GDP – %ΔPrices – %ΔPopulation
0.3 = 2.0 - %ΔPrices - 0.4
%ΔPrices = 2.0 - 0.4 - 0.3
%ΔPrices = 1.3
Inflation rose by 1.3%

Tucker Company makes chairs. Tucker has the following production budget for January - March.
January February March
Units Produced 9666 11971 9743
Each chair produced uses 4 board feet of wood. Management wants ending inventory levels of raw materials to equal 20% gf the production needs (in wood) for the next month.
How many board feet of wood does Tucker need to purchase in February? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer: 46,101 board feet of wood
Explanation:
Purchases can be calculated using the formula;
Purchases = Total Production Needs + Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory
Total Production Needs
= Units produced * boards required per unit
= 11,971 * 4
= 47,884 units needed.
Ending Inventory.
This should be 20% of production needs for the next month
= 20% * (9,743 * 4)
= 7,794 units
Beginning Inventory
This will be the ending inventory of January. The ending inventory of January is 20% of February needs.
= 20% * 47,884
= 9,577 units.
Purchases for February = 47,884 + 7,794 - 9,577
= 46,101 board feet of wood
Demron is in serious negotiations to purchase a welding machine that will enable them to perform their own welding. They currently have their welding outsourced at a cost of $1.50 per weld and a fixed cost of $45,000. Their marketing team feels that they can sustain an annual sales volume sufficient to require 35,000 welds. If a fancy new welding rig costs $13,500 what is the maximum variable cost per weld that Demron should be willing to pay in order to bring this process in-house
Answer:
Demron
Outsourcing welding or Purchasing a welding machine for in-house welding:
Cost of outsourcing:
Variable cost = $1.50 x 35,000 = $52,500
Fixed cost 45,000
Total outsourcing costs $97,500
Cost of purchasing a welding machine:
Fixed cost = $13,500
Maximum Variable costs = $84,000
Total in-house cost = $97,500
Maximum variable cost per weld
= $84,000/35,000
= $2.40
Explanation:
This problem of outsourcing welding activities of Demron Company or buying the welding machine to enable in-house welding is like a make or buy decision challenge. The appropriate approach to tackling this challenge is to determine the total costs under each option. The option that yields the greater outcome is chosen. However, for Demron's case, a determination of the maximum variable costs that are acceptable for in-house option to be selected is made. The level required for this determination is the level of costs that makes no difference between outsourcing and in-housing welding.

Carla Vista Company has the following information available for September 2020.
Unit selling price of video game consoles $410
Unit variable costs $328
Total fixed costs $36,900
Units sold 600
1. Compute the unit contribution margin.
2. Prepare a CVP income statement that shows both total and per unit amounts.
3. Compute Carla Vista’ break-even point in units.
4. Prepare a CVP income statement for the break-even point that shows both total and per unit amounts.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unit selling price of video game consoles $410
Unit variable costs $328
Total fixed costs $36,900
Units sold 600
First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 410 - 328= $82
Contribution margin income statement:
Sales= 600*410= 246,000
Total variable cost= 600*328= (196,800)
Total contribution margin= 49,200
Fixed costs= (36,900)
Net operating income= $12,300
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 39,200/82
Break-even point in units= 478 units
Finally, the income statement for the break-even point:
Sales= 478*410= 195,980
Total variable cost= 478*328= (156,784)
Total contribution margin= 39,196
Total fixed costs= (39,200)
Net operating income= (4)
A stock has a variance of 0.02468, a current price of $28 a share, and an average rate of return of 14.4 percent. How is the coefficient of variation (CoV) computed
Answer: 1.09
Explanation:
Coefficient of Variation (CoV) is calculated by the formula;
= [tex]\frac{Standard Deviation}{Expected Return}[/tex]
The Variance is given. Standard Deviation is;
= √Variance
= √0.02468
= 0.15709869509
Coefficient of Variation is therefore;
= [tex]\frac{0.15709869509}{0.144}[/tex]
= 1.09096316037
= 1.09

company's retained earnings have a financing cost associated with them because retained earnings belong to which of the following? a. The common stockholders b. The company's long-term debt holders c. The preferred stockholders d. The company
Answer:
a. The common stockholders.
Explanation:
A company's retained earnings have a financing cost associated with them because retained earnings belong to the common stockholders.
Retained earnings can be defined as the accumulated profits or net income generated by an organization but are not distributed or given as dividends to the stockholders, rather are reinvested in to the business.
Generally, retained earnings are used to pay off debts, used for capital expenditures and working capitals.
Retained earnings represents the total stockholders' equity reinvested back into the company.
Suppose a seven-year, $ 1 comma 000$1,000 bond with aa 7.7 %7.7% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.45 %6.45%. a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. b. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.36 %7.36% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for?
Answer:
a. Premium
b. $1,018.34
Explanation:
a. For computing the present value we need to apply the formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 6.45% ÷ 2 = 3.225%
NPER = 7 years × 2 = 14 years
PMT = $1,000 × 7.7% ÷2 = $38.50
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $1,069.53
Since the present value is more than the face value so the bond is currently sold at a premium
b. For computing the present value we need to apply the formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 7.36% ÷ 2 = 3.68%
NPER = 7 years × 2 = 14 years
PMT = $1,000 × 7.7% ÷2 = $38.50
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $1,018.34
Prepare journal entries to record the following four separate issuances of stock. A corporation issued 8,000 shares of $20 par value common stock for $192,000 cash. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has a $1 per share stated value. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has no stated value. A corporation issued 2,000 shares of $100 par value preferred stock for $247,000 cash.
Answer:
Journal Entries
1. A corporation issued 8,000 shares of $20 par value common stock for $192,000 cash:
Debit Cash Account $192,000
Credit Common Stock $160,000
Credit Paid-in In Excess of Par $32,000
To record the issue of 8,000 shares of $20 par value.
2. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has a $1 per share stated value:
Debit Retained Earnings $4,000
Credit Common Stock $4,000
To record the issue of 4,000 shares of $1 stated value.
3. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has no stated value:
Debit Retained Earnings $47,000
Credit Common Stock $47,000
To record the issue of 4,000 shares of no stated value.
4. A corporation issued 2,000 shares of $100 par value preferred stock for $247,000 cash:
Debit Cash $247,000
Credit Preferred Stock $200,000
Credit Paid-in In Excess of Par $47,000
To record the issue of 2,000 shares of $100 par value.
Explanation:
Shares can be issued at par value, above, or below par value. When they are issued at par value, the Cash Account or Retained Accounts or Asset Account is debited, while the Stock account is credited. If they are above par value, the difference in at par and above is credited to the Paid-in In Excess of Par account or Additional Paid-in Capital account. When they are issued below the par value, the difference between cash received and the stock account is debited to Paid-in In Excess of Par account.
The stated value of a share is like the par value. Some shares have no stated value and are recorded at whichever value is prevailing at the time of the issue.
On November 1, Bahama Cruise Lines borrows $3.5 million and issues a six-month, 9% note payable. Interest is payable at maturity. Record the issuance of the note and the appropriate adjustment for interest expense at December 31, the end of the reporting period.
Answer:
Bahama Cruise Lines
Journal Entries:
November 1:
Debit Cash Account $3,500,000
Credit 9% Notes Payable $3,500,000
To record the issue of a six-month note payable.
December 31:
Debit Interest Expense $52,500
Credit Interest Payable $52,500
To record the interest expense for the period.
Explanation:
a) With Bahama Cruise Lines borrowing $3.5 million on November 1 and issuing a six month, 9% note payable, the accounting entries are a debit to the Cash account for the cash received and a credit to the Note Payable account to establish the liability in the accounts.
b) Bahama Cruise Lines will accrue interest on the Note Payable for 2 months for the ending in order to comply with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principle. The accrual basis for accounting for transactions requires that expenses are recognized when incurred and not when cash is paid. The amount of the interest for the year is calculated as $52,500 ($3.5 million * 9%)/12 * 2. This also accords with the matching principle which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues of the same period.

First, spend a couple of sentences summarizing the Concepts in Action video you watched this week. Then, answer the following. In the Concepts in Action video you watched this week, the speaker mention that for a small business, having payment terms is like using "free money" for a while. What do you think this means
Answer with its Explanation:
Free Money means the money that has to be paid back to the money lender within a reasonable time. The money lender usually is a trader who sells his product at credit allowing his customer a reasonable period to payback. Furthermore, the free money is termed free because they are interest free lendings.
In real life, free money is can be availed by purchasing products from the suppliers if you are acting as a middle man in the distribution channel or you are a small customer and your borrowings doesn't impact the supplier. Almost all of the businesses lend free money in the form of products because allowing credit increases the sales of the organizations.

Answer:
Depletion expenses Dr $1,500,000
To Accumlated depletion $1,500,000
(Being the depletion expense is recorded)
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Depletion expenses Dr $1,500,000
To Accumlated depletion $1,500,000
(Being the depletion expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the depletion expense as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depletion as it reduced the assets
The computation is shown below:
The purchase price is
= Aquired value ÷ estimated production
= $18,550,000 ÷ 74,200,000
= $0.25 per gallons
Now depletion allowance is
= current year production × purchase price
= 6,000,000 × $0.25
= $1,500,000
The appropriate journal entry to record the transaction is:
Debit Depletion expense $1,500,000
Credit Accumulated depletion $1,500,000
First step is to calculate the depletion rate
Depletion rate = Cost/Estimated size
Depletion rate = $18,550,000/74,200,000
Depletion rate = $0.25 per gallon
Second step is to calculate the depletion expense
Depletion expense = Depletion rate × Quantity extracted
Depletion expense = $0.25 × 6,000,000 gallons
Depletion expense = $1,500,000
Third step is to prepare the journal entry for Carter Co.

A company's income before interest expense and income taxes is $350,000 and its interest expense is $100,000. Its times interest earned ratio is:
Answer:
Times interest earned ratio is 3.5 times.
Explanation:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio refers to a measure of the ability of company to honor its debt obligation form the current income of the company. TIE is also refereed to as interest coverage ratio and it can be calculated using the following formula:
TIE = EBIT / Interest expense .......................... (1)
Where;
EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes = $350,000
Interest expense = $100,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
TIE = $350,000 / $100,000 = 3.5 times
This indicates that the income of the company is 3.5 times greater than its interest expense.

Which of the following is not a related party for constructive ownership purposes under § 267? a.The taxpayer's grandmother. b.A corporation owned more than 50% by the taxpayer. c.The taxpayer's brother. d.The taxpayer's aunt. e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
A). The taxpayer's aunt.
Explanation:
Constructive ownership is demonstrated as the allocation of stock ownership from one to another taxpayer by the integrity of their relationship. For example, the parents own the stocks of their children constructively. As per the section (c) of constructive ownership under § 267, the party that cannot be a related part for constructive ownership purposes would be 'the aunt' of the taxpayer as she is not related to the taxpayer with blood either half or whole. Thus, she would not have any ownership right over the stock or shares and hence, option C is the correct answer.

$18,480Explanation:
Direct materials costs are $4.00 per pool cue.
Direct manufacturing labor is $6.00 per pool cue.
Manufacturing overhead is $0.84 per pool cue.
total budgeted direct materials = 22,000 x $4 = $88,000
total budgeted direct labor = 22,000 x $6 = $132,000
total budgeted manufacturing overhead = 22,000 x $0.84 = $18,480
The information about the beginning and ending inventories is not relevant to this question since it only deals with budgeted or estimated costs which may or may not differ from actual costs.
National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $55 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $78 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,300 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $157,700. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant?
Answer:
National Chemical Company
New Variant of a Chemical Compound:
The effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant is that total profit increases by $33,200
Explanation:
a) Data:
Selling price of old chemical = $55
Selling price of fined chemical = $78
Initial demand for the new compound = 8,300 gallons
Refining costs for the new compound = $157,700
b) Calculations:
Profit from new fined chemical = $23 ($78 - 55)
Differential Sales revenue = $190,900 ($23 x 8,300)
Differential processing costs $157,700
Effect on total profit = $33,200
c) Refining a chemical always add some value to the chemical. The additional value added is the differential sales revenue that National generates minus the additional processing costs involved to get the chemical refined.

A country in South America is experiencing high inflation, around 15% annually, and high unemployment, around 25%. According to the AD/AS model, which of the following is most likely to explain this outcome?
a. A positive real shock
b. A positive aggregate demand shock
c. A negative aggregate demand shock
d. A negative real shock

Bedford had this info at the end of 2015, its first year of operations: No other permanent or temporary differences exist. The litigation item will be paid in 2018. The depreciation will reverse evenly over the next three years. Tax rate is 30%. Future net income is probable. The 12/31/15 Income Tax Payable is:
Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
Seeing as the litigation expense will only be paid in 2018, it should be added back to income for 2015.
= 900,000 + 100,000
= $1,000,000
As the depreciation will reverse evenly over the next three years and with future income probable, it should be removed from income.;
= 1,000,000 - 300,000
= $700,000
Municipal Bonds have the advantage of being Tax-exempt so their interest income should be removed to calculate how much tax should be paid.
= 700,000 - 200,000
= $500,000
2015 Income Tax Payable = 500,000 * 30%
= $150,000
