Walker & Co. (Walker) signed a written contract to lease a large neon advertising sign to Herbert Harrison, who is in the dry-cleaning business, for $148.50 a month. The contract stated that Walker, as the lessor of the sign, would "at its expense maintain and service the sign [and would perform] cleaning and repainting of sign in original color scheme as often as deemed necessary by lessor to keep sign in first-class advertising condition and make all necessary repairs to sign and equipment installed by lessor." A few weeks the sign was installed, someone hit the sign with a tomato and "little spider cobwebs" appeared in the sign's corners. Harrison repeatedly asked Walker to fix the sign, but Walker did not do so. As a result, Harrison made no further payments and Walker sued Harrison for remainder of the lease payments pursuant to the contract's terms. Did Walker make a material breach of the contract?

Darryl, a cash basis taxpayer, gave 1,000 shares of Copper Company common stock to his daughter on September 29, 2019.

Darryl must recognize the $2,000 dividend as his income because he constructively received the dividend. c. Darryl must recognize $1,500 of the dividend because he owned the stock for three-fourths of the year. d. Darryl must recognize the income of $2,000 because the purpose of the gift was to avoid taxes. e. None of these choices are correct.

Pepper’s Pens uses the weighted average method of process costing for product costing. Pepper Potts, the owner, provides you the following information about the prior month’s production: August beginning WIP (40% complete with respect to conversion costs) 8,000 Units started in August 45,000 Units completed and transferred in August 52,000 Ending August WIP (70% complete with respect to conversion costs) 1,000 All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. Costs this period Beginning WIP Direct materials $463,500 $124,500 Conversion costs 247,500 24,200 Total manufacturing costs $ 711,000 $ 148,7001. How many units were started, completed and transferred out in August? How many were completed and transferred from beginning work-in-process in August? 2. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs 3. Calculate the direct materials and conversion costs assigned to units that were completed and transferred out in August, and those in ending WIP. 4.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by producing shoes in Indonesia, where you could hire women for $100 a month to assemble them. You also know that human rights advocates recently accused a competing shoe manufacturer of engaging in exploitative labor practices because the manufacturer sold shoes made by Indonesian women for similarly low wages. You personally do not believe that paying $100 a month to Indonesian women is unethical because you know that in their country, $100 a month is a better-than-average wage rate.

Write 1-2 paragraphs explaining whether you would have the shoes manufactured in Indonesia and make higher profits for the company or avoid the risk of negative publicity and its potential adverse consequences for the firm's reputation. Are there other alternatives? Consider the impact of the route you choose and short-term vs. long-term profits, as well as the ethical decision making criteria.

Assume that Firm ABC has revenues of $120,000 for both 2017 and 2018. It also has operating expenses of $40,000 for each of these years. In addition, Firm ABC accrues a loss and related liability of $10,000 for financial reporting purposes because of pending litigation. Firm ABC cannot deduct this amount for tax purposes until it pays the liability, expected in 2018. As a result, a deductible amount will occur in 2018 when Firm ABC settles the liability, causing taxable income to be lower than pretax financial information.

Bonita Marina has 300 available slips that rent for $900 per season. Payments must be made in full by the start of the boating season, April 1, 2021. The boating season ends October 31, and the marina has a December 31 year-end. Slips for future seasons may be reserved if paid for by December 31, 2021. Under a new policy, if payment for 2022 season slips is made by December 31, 2021, a 5% discount is allowed. If payment for 2023 season slips is made by December 31, 2021, renters get a 20% discount (this promotion hopefully will provide cash flow for major dock repairs).
On December 31, 2017, all 300 slips for the 2018 season were rented at full price. On December 31, 2018, 240 slips were reserved and paid for the 2019 boating season, and 56 slips were reserved and paid for the 2020 boating season.
Prepare the appropriate journal entries for December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018.

SNC is considering an opportunity to add a large customer, Midwest Miracles, a recently launched weight-loss center that is in a precarious financial situation because its entrepreneurial founder took on a significant debt burden. Acquiring Midwest Miracles would allow SNC to increase sales by 30% in 2019. Some analysts have forecasted a 20% probability that Midwest Miracles will declare bankruptcy, and they estimate a recovery rate for suppliers of 50%. Midwest Miracles would be willing to pay significantly higher prices for SNC's products, which can increase the EBIT margin of the whole company by almost 1%. However, Midwest Miracles is likely to take a longer-than-average time to pay its invoices. Therefore, SNC's DSO is likely to increase significantly. What would you like to do about this opportunity?
