Dr Notes receivable 33,900
Cr Sales revenue 33,900
Explanation:
Non interest bearing notes must be recorded at present value, so we need to determine the present value of the payment:
Payment due December 21, 2021, PV = $39,700 / (1 + 8%) = $36,759.26
Payment due December 21, 2022, PV = $39,700 / (1 + 8%)² = $34,036.35
We use the discount on notes receivable account (contra asset account) to decrease the net value of notes receivable.
Kate has put a lot of time and effort into streamlining the process to design and produce a greet-ing card. She has documented the entire process in a QuickTime video she produced on her iMac. The video takes the viewer through the step-by-step process of selecting hardware and software, and shows how to design and produce the card. Kate has met many people who would like to get into the production of greeting cards, but are overwhelmed by the process. Kate has decided to sell the entire package (hardware, software, and video tutorial) to aspiring card producers. The cost of the entire package to Kate is $4,500 and she plans to mark it up by $500 and sell it for $5,000. John Stevens, an individual Kate met recently at a greeting card conference, would like to buy the pack-age from Kate. Unfortunately, John does not have this much cash and would like for Kate to extend credit.Kate believes that many of her customers will not be able to pay cash and, therefore, she will need to find some way to provide financing. One option she is exploring is to accept credit cards. She learned that the credit card provider charges a 2.5 percent fee and provides immediate cash upon receiving the sales receipts.Kate would like you to answer the following questions: 1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of offering credit
Answer:
The disadvantage of offering credit would be that Kate loses $125 on the sale of each $5,000 package.
$125 is 2.5% of $5,000
Her expected gain is shortened by $125 and now becomes (500 - 125 = $375).
Explanation:
The advantage of offering credit would be that immediate cash is provided, upon presentation of the sales receipts.
Ownership in a corporation:_______.
a. is difficult to transfer.
b. is more easily transferable than ownership in other forms of organization.
c. is transferred in much the same way as stock in a partnership.
d. noticeably affects the operation of the business.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Ownership in a corporation is more easily transferable than ownership in other forms of organization.
A corporation is owned and managed by all the members of the corporation. Each of the members are regarded as shareholders and the amount of shares they own in the corporation is what determines the ownership, control, and profits of the corporation. The corporation is distinct from the owners.
Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $15.00 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $22.00, including fixed costs, and $12.00, excluding fixed costs. If 38,423 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it?
Answer:
$115,269 decrease
Explanation:
Below are the following information given in the question.
Purchase price = $15
Variable cost per unit = $12
Fixed cost per unit = $10. i.e $22-$10
Production in units = 38,423
N.B. As in the above scenario, we will need to factor in the variable cost per unit only in order to determine whether it is convenient to make the part in house or purchase it. Also, we will have to ignore fixed costs because of the fact that it is constant in the option of whether to buy or make part in house.
Therefore,
Option at purchasing/Buying
= $38,423 × $15
= $576,345
Option at making the part in house
= $38,423 × $12
= $461,076
Cost difference is therefore = $115,269 decrease

You will require $700 in 5 years. If you earn 5% interest on your funds, how much will you need to invest today in order to reach your savings goal
Answer:
PV= $548.47
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You will require $700 in 5 years. You earn 5% interest on your funds.
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= present value
FV= future value
n= number of years
i= interest rate
PV= 700/(1.05^5)
PV= $548.47

Arianna converts the personal residence to rental property. What is Arianna's gain basis? What is her loss basis? Arianna's basis for gain is $ and her basis for loss is $
Answer:
Arianna's basis for loss $277,335
Arianna's basis for gain $308,,150
Explanation:
Calculation for Arianna's gain basis and loss basis
Since the original basis for loss on personal use assets that is been converted to either the business or the income producing use is the lower or lesser of the property's adjusted basis or fair market value on the date of conversion which means that the gain basis for the converted property will tend to be the property's adjusted basis on the date of conversion.
Arianna's basis for loss will be $277,335 (lower of $308,150 adjusted basis and fair market value of $277,335).
The amount of $30,815 that was been decline in value is a personal loss whichncan never be recognized for tax purposes this means that Arianna's basis for gain is $308,,150 (adjusted basis).
Patty Corporation holds 75 percent of Slider Corporation's voting common stock, acquired at book value. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the date of acquisition was equal to 25 percent of the book value of Slider Corporation. On December 31, 20X8, Slider Corporation acquired 25 percent of Janet Corporation's stock. Slider records dividends received from Janet as nonoperating income. In 20X9, Janet reported operating income of $100,000 and paid dividends of $40,000. During the same year, Slider reported operating income of $75,000 and paid $20,000 in dividends.
1) Based on the information provided, what amount will be reported as consolidated net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method?
a. $150,000
b. $100,000
c. $75,000
d. $175,000
2) Based on the information provided, what amount will be reported as income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 under the treasury stock method?
a. $18,750
b. $156,250
c. $175,000
d. $100,000
Answer:
1) d. $175,000
2) b. $156,250
Explanation:
1. The computation of net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method is shown below:-
Net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method = Janet Operating income + Slider operating income
= $100,000 + $75,000
= $175,000
2. The computation of income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 is shown below:-
income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 = Janet Operating income + (Slider operating income × Remaining percentage)
= $100,000 + ($75,000 × 75%)
= $100,000 + $56,250
= $156,250
Therefore we have applied the above formulas.

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.
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.
The value of Mike Jackson’s shares in the New Frontiers Technology Fund is $51,400. The management fee for this particular fund is 0.80 percent of the total asset value. Calculate the management fee Mike must pay this year. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$411.2
Explanation:
The value of Mike Jackson's shares in the New frontiers technology fund is $51,400
The management fee is 0.80%
= 0.80/100
= 0.008
Therefore, the amount of management fee that Mike must pay this year can be calculated as follows
Management fee= Total amount of investment × management fee percent
= $51,400×0.008
= $411.2
Hence the management percent fee that Mike must pay this year is $411.2

Max Company uses 20,000 units of Part A in producing its products. A supplier offers to make Part A for $7. Max Company has relevant costs of $8 a unit to manufacture Part A. If there is excess capacity, the opportunity cost of not buying Part A from the supplier is:________
a) $20,000.
b) $0.
c) $160,000.
d) $140,000.
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Max company makes use of 20,000 units of part A to manufacture its product
A supplier offers to produce part A for $7
Max company has relevant costs to $8 per unit to produce part A
Therefore, the opportunity cost of not buying part A from the supplier can be calculated as follows
Opportunity cost= 20,000 units of part A($8-$7)
= 20,000 units×$1
= 20,000×$1
= $20,000
Hence the opportunity cost of not buying part A from the supplier when there is excess capacity is $20,000
The Atlantic Company sells a product for $150 per unit. The variable cost is $60 per unit, and fixed costs are $270,000. What is the break-even point in sales units?_____________________________________ What is the break-even points in sales units if the company desires a target profit of $36,000?
Answer:
The break even units are 3000 units and when it desires the profit of $36000 then sales unit is 3400 units.
Explanation:
The selling price of a product (SP) = $150 per unit.
Variable cost (VC) = $60 per unit.
Fixed cost of the company = $270000
Break-even units can be calculated by dividing the fixed cost from the difference in selling price and variable cost.
Break even Units = (fixed cost) / ( SP – VC)
= 270000 / (150-60)
= 3000 units.
Break-even units when a company desires a profit of $36000.
Desired units for sales = (Fixed Cost + Profit)/ Contribution per unit
= (270,000 + 36,000) / (150 - 60)
= 3,400 units
Assume ExxonMobil's price dropped to $35 overnight. Given the dividend growth rate of ExxonMobil of 8.00% and the last annual dividend of $1.70, what is the implied required rate of return necessary to justify the new lower market price of $ 35? What is the implied required rate of return necessary to justify the new lower market price of $ 35?
Answer:
Re = 13.26%
Explanation:
we can use the dividend growth model:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
P₀ = $35Div₁ = $1.70 x 1.08 = $1.836g = 8%Re = cost of equity or required rate of return = ?$35 = $1.836 / (Re - 0.08)
Re - 0.08 = $1.836 / $35 = 0.0526
Re = 0.0526 + 0.08 = 0.1326 = 13.26%

Determining the profitability depends on market power. At a higher market power, the level of profitability will be high.
Conversely, a company operating in a system where its market power is low which results into inability to compete with other companies will cause a low probability.
Tri Fecta, a partnership, had revenues of $373,000 in its first year of operations. The partnership has not collected on $45,200 of its sales and still owes $38,700 on $170,000 of merchandise it purchased. There was no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The partnership paid $27,100 in salaries. The partners invested $41,000 in the business and $25,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The partnership paid $2,250 in interest that was the amount owed for the year and paid $8,000 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Ignore income taxes. Compute the cash balance at the end of the first year for Tri Fecta.
Answer:
Cash balance = $225,150
Explanation:
Cash balance can be calculated by calculating the difference of cash inflows and cash outflows
Cash inflow
Investment $41,000
Borrowed $25,000
Cash collection(w) $327,800
Total Collection $393,800
Less:
Cash outflow
Merchandise(w) $131,300
Salaries paid $27,100
Interest paid $2,250
Insurance paid $8,000
Total cash paid $168,650
Cash Balance = Total Collection - Total Cash paid
Cash balance = $393,800 - $168,650
Cash balance = $225,150
Working
Cash collection = The partnership has not collected on $45,200 of its sales
Cash collection = Sales - 45,200
Cash collection = $373,000 - $45,200
Cash collection = $327,800
Merchandise = Tri Fecta still owes $38,700 on $170,000 of merchandise it purchased
Merchandise = $170,000 - $38,700
Merchandise = $131,300
Adams Bautista needs $26,700 in 8 years. Click here to view factor tables
Required:
a. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
b. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
Answer:
a. $10,783.68
b. $10,510.36 semi annual compounding
Explanation:
a. This question requires the present value of $26,700 given 8 years and compounded annually at 12%.
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.12^{8} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,783.68
He would need to invest $10,783.68 today.
b. This is a duplicate of question 1 but I will solve it assuming semi-annual compounding just in case.
12% per annum would become = 12/2 = 6% per semi annum
Number of periods would become = 8 * 2 = 16 periods
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.06^{16} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,510.36
He would need to invest $10,510.36 today.

Consider the economies of Hermes and Gobbledigook, both of which produce gobs of goo using only tools and workers. Suppose that, during the course of 20 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 4 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same. Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2016 and 2036.
Year Hermes
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000
2036 15 30 3,600
Year Gobbledigook
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400
2036 12 30 3,600
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a_______ amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect_______which makes it______for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.
Answer:
Hermes
Productivity (Gobs per worker)
2016 100
2036 120
Gobbledigook
Productivity
(Gobs per worker)
2016 80
2036 120
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect OF CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.
Explanation:
Hermes
Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000 3,000/30=100
2036 15 30 3,600 3,600/30=120
Gobbledigook
Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400 2,400/30=80
2036 12 30 3,600 3,600/30=120
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect of CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.
