Answer:
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1920[/tex] --- FIFO
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1200[/tex] -- LIFO
Explanation:
Solving (a):
FIFO method
This means that the first items to be listed were sold out and only 240 of the last item is left
This implies that the following units were sold
340 units at $5; 440 units at $7 and (540 - 240) units at $8
So: We're left with
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = 240 * \$8[/tex]
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1920[/tex]
Solving (b):
LIFO method
This means that the last items to be listed were sold out and only 240 of the fist item is left
This implies that the following units were sold
540 units at $8; 440 units at $7 and (340 - 240) units at $5
So: We're left with
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = 240 * \$5[/tex]
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1200[/tex]
In the run up to the war in Iraq that began in 2003, one of the many concerns raised was that a war could result in a decrease in the supply of oil. At the same time, the U.S. economy was having a hard time recovering from the recession of 2001 and, as a result, incomes of many consumers had decreased (due to layoffs, wage cuts, and so forth). All else constant, it was reasonable to predict, with certainty, that the combination of these two factors would cause the equilibrium:__________
a. quantity of oil to decrease.
b. quantity of oil to increase.
c. price of oil to increase.
d. price of oil to decrease.
A rise in demand will result in an increase in a good's equilibrium price and output. Hence option C is correct .
What is equilibrium ?According to formal definitions, equilibrium is a condition of balance or rest brought on by the equal activity of opposing forces. Supply and demand are these forces in economics. We shall see that when there is an imbalance between supply and demand, economic forces will operate until the equilibrium is restored.
Depicts the hot dog market's competitive nature, with aggregate supply in yellow and aggregate demand in blue. Hot dog demand decreases as price increases, while supply increases. This diagram contains two crucial details. Equilibrium quantity comes first (QE). QE occurs when the amount supplied and the quantity required are equal.
It is crucial to understand the means through which we arrive at this value. Only one price, known as equilibrium price, can be correlated with equilibrium quantity (PE). The question of how to achieve equilibrium still stands. Let's start by thinking about what happens when the price is too high.

Total assets $1576400 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $1576400
Answer:
$279,200
Explanation:
The computation of working capital is shown below:-
As we know that
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
where,
Current assets = cash balance + account receivable + Inventory
= $129,200 + $122,600 + $209,300
= $461,100
And,
Current liabilities = Account payable + Salaries & wages payable
= $153,500 + $28,400
= $181,900
now we will put the values of the above working capital formula
= $461,100 - $181,900
= $279,200

Work in process inventory, April 30 48,000
Finished goods inventory, April 1 22,000
Finished goods inventory, April 30 17,000
Required:
a. For April, determine the cost of goods manufactured.
b. For April, determine the cost of goods sold.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $130,000
COGS= $135,000
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 38,000 + 52,000 + 67,000 + 21,000 - 48,000
cost of goods manufactured= $130,000
Now, we can determine the cost of goods manufactured:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 22,000 + 130,000 - 17,000
COGS= $135,000

Allison and Leslie, who are twins, just received $10,000 each for their 25th birthdays. They both have aspirations to become millionaires. Each plans to make a $5000 annual contribution to her "early retirement fund" on her birthday, beginning a year from today. Allison opened an account with the Safety First Bond Fund, a mutual fund that invests in high quality bonds whose investors have earned 8% per year in the past. Leslie invested in the New-Issue Bio Tech Fund, which invests in small, newly issued bio-tech stocks and whose investors have earned an average of 13% per year in the fund’s relatively short history.
a. If the two women’s funds earn the same returns in the future as in the past, how old will each be when she becomes a millionaire?
b. How large would Allison’s annual contributions have to be for her to become a millionaire at the same age as Leslie, assuming that their expected returns are realized?
Answer:
a. If the two women’s funds earn the same returns in the future as in the past, how old will each be when she becomes a millionaire?
Allison:
1,000,000 = 5,000 x [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ] / i
200 = [(1 + 8%)ⁿ - 1 ] / 8%
16 = 1.08ⁿ - 1
17 = 1.08ⁿ
n = log 17 / log 1.08 = 1.230448921 / 0.033423755 = 36.81 years
Leslie:
1,000,000 = 5,000 x [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ] / i
200 = [(1 + 13%)ⁿ - 1 ] / 13%
26 = 1.13ⁿ - 1
27 = 1.13ⁿ
n = log 27 / log 1.13 = 1.43133764 / 0.053078443 = 26.97 years
b. How large would Allison’s annual contributions have to be for her to become a millionaire at the same age as Leslie, assuming that their expected returns are realized?
1,000,000 = payment x [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ] / i
1,000,000 = payment x [(1 + 8%)²⁶°⁹⁷ - 1 ] / 8%
80,000 = payment x [1.08²⁶°⁹⁷ - 1 ]
80,000 = payment x 6.969639658
payment = 80,000 / 6.969639658 = $11,478.36

Consulting life (10 points) Mt. Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes: associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90s, but also not suffering from a need to downsize in the recession at the beginning of the 21st century. Specifically, there have been -- and are expected to be -- 200 associates, 60 managers, and 20 partners. The work environment at Mt. Kinley is rather competitive. After four years of working as an associate, a consultant goes ``either up or out''; that is, becomes a manager or is dismissed from the company. Similarly, after six years a manager either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBAs as associate consultants; no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (a total of 20 years with the company).a. How many new MBA graduates does Mt. Kinley have to hire every year? b. What are the odds that a new hire at Mt. Kinley will become partner (as opposed to being dismissed after 4 years or 10 years).
Answer:
A. 50
B. 4%
Explanation:
We can easily find out how many new MBA graduates do Mt. Kinley has to hire every year by calculating the flow rate of associates by dividing the average inventory of associates by flow time of associates.
Requirement A:
The flow rate of associates = Average inventory of associates / Flow time of associates
The flow rate of associates = 200/4
The flow rate of associates = 50
Therefore the firm should assign 50 new MBAs every year.
Requirement B
Probability of associate becoming a partner = 20% x 20%
Probability of associate becoming a partner = 4%
The chances that a new hire at Mt. Kinley will become partner are 4%
Working
The flow rate of manager = Average inventory of manager/ Flow time of manager
The flow rate of manager = 60/6
The flow rate of manager = 10 managers/year
The flow rate of partner = Average inventory of partner/ Flow time of partner
The flow rate of manager = 20/10
The flow rate of manager = 2 partners/year
probability of becoming a manager = 10/50
probability of becoming a manager = 20%
Probability of becoming a partner = 2/10
Probability of becoming a partner = 20%

so far we have cost for 2,300,000 + 3,600,000 = 5,900,000
for a total cost of 7,900,000
5,900,000 / 7,900,000 = 74.68% percentage of completion
we multiply this but, subtract previous revenue recognized:
10,000,000 x (74.68% - 30,263%) = 4,441,700 revenue
less 3,600,000 cost: 841,700 gross profit
2015:
we complete the project so we recognize the rest of the revenue.
10,000,000 x (100% - 74.68%) = 2,532,000
cost of the year 2,100,000
gross profit: 432,000
completed contract:
10,000,000 contract value less cost:
2013 2,300,000

Add Opening Work in Progress 27,350
Less: Closing Work in Progress (9,350)
Cost of goods manufactured 938,339
Calculation for Factory Overhead Recovery Rate using this formula
Factory Overhead Recovery Rate = Budgeted Factory Overhead/Machine Hours
Let plug in the formula
Factory Overhead Recovery Rate=256,795/33,350
Factory Overhead Recovery Rate= $ 7.70
2. Calculation for the overhead underapplied or overapplied
First step is to compute for Total Manufacturing Overhead
Computation of Manufacturing Overhead Incurred
Indirect Material 26,700
Indirect Labour 96,350
Factory Utilities Cost 10,350
Depreciation 131,000
Total Manufacturing Overhead 264,400
Second step is to Compute for Manufacturing Overhead Under or Over applied using this formula
Let plug in the formula
Manufacturing Overhead Under or Over applied = Actual Manufacturing Overhead Incurred - Manufacturing Overhead applied
Manufacturing Overhead Under or Over applied= 264,400 - 262,339
Manufacturing Overhead Under or Over applied= $2,061 Underapplied
3. Preparation of an income statement for the year.

From: Okwukwe Faith, Financial Accounting Student
Subject: The Six-Step Measurement Process
Date: October 11, 2020
Find below the description you requested on the above subject.
1st Step: Identifying the accounts involved using the source documents:
For the provision of decorating services of $500 to a client, the invoice for the service will be reviewed for the accounts involved in the transaction. It will show that Accounts receivable and Service Revenue are involved. A review of the payroll check will also show the payment of salary to an employee, in which Cash Account and Salaries Expense account are involved. Similarly, a review of the purchasing invoice will show that Office Equipment and Cash Account are involved for the purchase of equipment.
2nd Step: Analysis of the impact on the accounting equation: For a) Accounts Receivable and Service Revenue will increase by $500 respectively. Cash Account will decrease while Salaries Expense account will increase by $1,200 for b). For c) Office Equipment will increase and Cash will decrease by $2,700.
3rd Step: Assessing the accounts to be debited or credited: For a) Accounts Receivable will be debited and Service Revenue credited. For b) Salaries Expense will be debited and Cash credited. For c) Office Equipment will be debited and Cash credited.
4th Step: With the above identification, the journal will be recorded for transactions a - c as detailed above.
5th Step: The above transactions will then be posted to the general ledger in their respective accounts.

a. 6,500,000
b. 3,000,000
c. 5,600,000
d. 2,500,000
Answer:
$7,440,000$5,500,000Explanation:
1. Checkbook balance of $8,000,000 in December 2020.
Check payable to Aruba of $2,000,000 has not yet being deposited so it should be removed from cash balance
Check payable that was returned by the bank of $500,000 should not be included either because it did not clear.
Check drawn on Aruba account of $1,500,000 was recorded but not yet mailed so it should be added back.
Cash on hand - undeposited collections and Change fund are actual cash that should be added as well.
= 8,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 500,000 + 1,500,000 + 400,000 + 40,000
= $7,440,000
2. Cash equivalents are those instruments that can be easily converted to cash. They typically mature within 3 months.
The Cash equivalents here are Treasury bills and Money Market placements
= 2,500,000 + 3,000,000
= $5,500,000
The total amount to be reported as cash on December 31, 2020 is $7,440,000 and the total amount to be reported as cash equivalents on December 31, 2020 is $5,600,000.
1. CASH = Checkbook balance of $8,000,000 + Check payable to Aruba of $2,000,000 + Check payable $500,000 + Check drawn $1,500,000 + Cash on hand - Undeposited collections
CASH = 8,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 500,000 + 1,500,000 + 400,000 + 40,000
CASH = $7,440,000
Cash equivalents = Treasury bills + Money Market placements
Cash equivalents = 2,500,000 + 3,000,000
Cash equivalents = $5,500,000
In conclusion, the total amount to be reported as cash on December 31, 2020 is $7,440,000 and the total amount to be reported as cash equivalents on December 31, 2020 is $5,600,000.

Suppose that you are working as a financial analyst in Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Your boss have just asked to analyze three different money market instrument yields and to suggest investment advice to its rich clients. Which of following instruments is the most desirable to invest in ? A six month T-bill rate of 1.9 % A six moth Eurodollar deposit of 1.9% A six month CD rate of 1.9 %
Answer: A six month T-bill rate of 1.9 %
Explanation:
As all the instruments are similar in terms of maturity period and return rate, the most desirable will be in terms of the one with the lowest risk.
The United States T-bill is one of the safest instruments in the world as it is backed by the full faith of the United States Government which has technically never defaulted on debt. This is therefore the lowest instrument listed and is therefore the most desirable.
Liquidity risk would be greatest for an investor whose portfolio was primarily composed of A) ADRs listed on the NYSE B) municipal bond UITs C) Nasdaq stocks D) municipal bonds
Answer: D) municipal bonds
Explanation:
Liquidity risk is the risk that an instrument or security can not be easily sold such that actual hard currency can be recuperated.
ADRs on the NYSE can be easily sold and so can NASDAQ stocks. Municipal bond Unit Investment Trust (UITs) can be redeemed in a non-complicated manner so are liquid as well.
Municipal bonds will prove to be the least liquid as the market for municipal bonds is not a heavily traded one.
Based on what we have learned about shortages and surpluses in a market, which one do you think is more harmful to the overall economy: a shortage or a surplus of a good? Provide a detailed explanation to demonstrate your thinking.
Answer:
A surplus of a good
Explanation:
Although we think that having a lot of something sounds like a good idea that is not always the case. Sometimes its better to have less of an item but therefore sell it for. For example when there was a shortage of hand sanitzer, masks and toilet paper people bought more of it for a higher price because they were afraid not to have enough. A surplus can take up a lot of storage and use up a lot of money. For example if a car manafacturer has a surplus of cars they are just sittinng there taking up space in a lot that needs to be payed for and mantained. I find it is especially bad if there are lot of that item and people are not interested in purchasing it. The company would be losing money because they would be most likely selling it at a lower price. Therefore the economy would be losing money while during a shortage they would be gaining money.
Consider the following independent situations at December 31:
a. On October 1, a business collected $3,000 rent in advance, debiting Cash and crediting Unearned Revenue. The tenant was paying one year's rent in advance. On December 31, the business must account for the amount of rent it has earned.
b. Salaries expense is $1,800 per day-Monday through Friday-and the business pays employees each Friday. This year, December 31 falls on a Thursday.
c. The unadjusted balance of the Office Supplies account is $3,000. Office supplies on hand total $1,900.
d. Equipment depreciation was $500.
e. On April 1, when the business prepaid $4,320 for a two-year insurance policy, the business debited Prepaid Insurance and credited Cash.
Journalize the adjusting entry needed on December 31 for each situation. Use the letters to label the journal entries.
Answer:
All the entries are made on December 31.
a.
Unearned Rent Revenue 750 Dr
Rent Revenue 750 Cr
b.
Salaries expense 7200 Dr
Salaries Payable 7200 Cr
c.
Supplies expense 1100 Dr
Supplies 1100 Cr
d.
Depreciation expense-Equipment 500 Dr
Accumulated depreciation-Equipment 500 Cr
e.
Insurance expense 1620 Dr
Prepaid Insurance 1620 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The rent received in advance is for one year. On December 31 the 3 months of rent becomes earned. So, we debit the unearned rent revenue account and credit the rent revenue.
b.
The salaries expense per day is $1800 and as the 31 December is a thursday, the salary for 4 days becomes an expense which is still not paid as salaries are paid on friday. So we debit the salaries expense by 1800 * 4 = 7200 and credit the salaries payable by the same amount.
c.
The supplies of 1100 (3000 - 1900) have been consumed and the supplies expense will be recorded for 1100 and the supplies account will be reduced by 1100.
d.
The depreciation on equipment is recorded.
e.
The insurance paid in advance in April of the current year is for 2 years or 24 months. The per month insurance expense is 4320 / 24 = 180
Till 31 December, the 9 months of insurance policy has been consumed and should be recorded as an expense and a reduction in the prepaid asset.
The amount is = 180 * 9 = 1620

Bombay Energy recently reported (in million USD) $12,500 of Sales, $9,500 of Operating Costs other than Depreciation, and $925 of Depreciation. The company had $3,900 of outstanding bonds that carry a 6% Interest Rate, and its Federal-plus-State Income Tax Rate was 37%. In order to sustain its operations and thus generate future sales and cash flows, the firm was required to make $1,500 of Capital Expenditures on new fixed assets and to invest $450 in Net Operating Working Capital. Calculate Bombay's Net Income and Free Cash Flow.
2. Tangent Corporation, recently reported the following information:
• Net Income - $756,000
• Tax Rate -37% Interest Expense - $300,000
• Total Investor Supplied Capital - $10.5 million
• Weighted Average Cost of Capital -10%
What is the company's EVA?
Answer:
Bombay Energy and Tangent Corporation
1. Bombay Energy
a) Net Income:
Sales $12,500
Operating Costs $9,500
Gross profit $3,000
Depreciation $925
EBIT $2,075
Interest Expense $234
EBT $1,841
Taxes (37%) (681)
Net Income $1,160
b) Free Cash Flow:
= $283
2. Tangent Corporation
a) EVA:
= -$762,720
Explanation:
a) Bombay Data:
Sales $12,500
Operating Costs $9,500
Depreciation $925
Outstanding bonds = $3,900
Interest Rate on bonds = 6%
Interest expense = $234 ($3,900 * 6%)
Federal and State Income Tax Rate = 37%
Capital expenditures = $1,500
Net Operating Working Capital investment = $450
b) Bombay' Free Cash Flow equals its earnings before interest and taxes multiplied by (1 − tax rate), add depreciation and amortization, and then subtract changes in working capital and capital expenditure.
EBIT $2,075 (1 - 37%)
Depreciation 925
Capital expenditure (1,500)
Net working capital (450)
Free Cash Flow $283
= $1,307 + 925 - ($1,500 + 450)
= $283
c) Tangent Data:
Net Income - $756,000
Interest Expense - $300,000
Income before tax $456,000
Tax Rate -37% (168,720)
NOPAT $287,280
Total Investor Supplied Capital - $10.5 million
Weighted Average Cost of Capital -10%
The formula for calculating EVA is:
EVA = NOPAT - (Invested Capital * WACC)
Where:
NOPAT = Net operating profit after taxes
Invested capital = Debt + capital leases + shareholders' equity
WACC = Weighted average cost of capital
= $287,280 - ($10,500,000 * 10%)
= $287,280 - 1,050,000
= -$762,720

During April, the production department of a process manufacturing system completed a number of units of a product and transferred them to finished goods. Of these transferred units, 60,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 240,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 82,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 80% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion.Compute the number of units transferred to finished goods.
Answer: $320,000
Explanation:
Number of Units transferred to Finished Goods = Beginning Work in Process in April + Units started and Completed in April
= 60,000 + 240,000
= $320,000
You would like to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years, and how much you must invest today to reach that goal clearly depends on what rate of return you can earn. First, suppose you can earn 10.4% per year, and calculate how much you would have to invest today. Second, suppose you can only earn half that percentage rate, and calculate how much you would have to invest today. Divide the second by the first, to see how many times more you must invest today at half that annual rate grow it to $1 million over 40 years.
Answer:
1.
PV = $19108.96057 rounded off to $19108.96
So, $19108.96057 have to be invested today at 10.4% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
2.
PV = $131634.7058 rounded off to $131634.71
So, $131634.7058 have to be invested today at 5.2% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
3.
Times more investment = 6.888637682 times rounded off to 6.89 times
Explanation:
1.
To calculate how much we need to invest today for it to turn into $1 million in 40 years at 10.4% per annum rate, we will use the Present value of a sum formula as we need to determine the present value of $1 million earned after 40 years from today. The formula for present value of a sum is,
PV = FV / (1+r)^t
Where,
PV is present valueFV is future valuer is the rate of interest or returnt is the time period in yearsPV = 1,000,000 / (1+0.104)^40
PV = $19108.96057 rounded off to $19108.96
So, $19108.96057 have to be invested today at 10.4% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
2.
Half the percentage rate of 10.4% p.a. = 10.4% / 2 = 5.2%
PV = 1,000,000 / (1+0.052)^40
PV = $131634.7058 rounded off to $131634.71
So, $131634.7058 have to be invested today at 5.2% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
3.
Times more investment = 131634.7058 / 19108.96057
Times more investment = 6.888637682 times rounded off to 6.89 times
