Item7 1.25 points Return to questionItem 7Item 7 1.25 points In 1898, the first Green Jacket Golf Championship was held. The winner’s prize money was $230. In 2018, the winner’s check was $2,640,000. a. What was the annual percentage increase in the winner’s check over this period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. If the winner’s prize increases at the same rate, what will it be in 2056? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)

Answer:

a. 8.10%

b.  $50,930,776.45

Explanation:

a. The 2018 prize money can be expressed as a compounded amount of the 1898 amount in the manner;

2,640,000 = 230 * ( 1 + rate) ^ 120 years

Year 2018 - 1898 = 120 years

Solving for rate;

2,640,000/230 =  ( 1 + rate) ^ 120 years

( 1 + rate) = (2,640,000/230) ^ 1/120

1 + rate = 1.081016

rate = 0.0810

= 8.10%

b. Number of periods = 2056 - 2018

= 38 years

= 2,640,000 * ( 1 + 8.10%) ^ 38

= $50,930,776.45

In 2013, Space Technology Company modified its model Z2 satellite to incorporate a new communication device. The company made the following expenditures:
Basic research to develop the technology $ 2,000,000
Engineering design work 680,000
Development of a prototype device 300,000
Acquisition of equipment 60,000
Testing and modification of the prototype 200,000
Legal and other fees for patent application on the new
communication system 40,000
Legal fees for successful defense of the new patent 20,000
Total $ 3,300,000
The equipment will be used on this and other research projects. Depreciation on the equipment for 2013 is $10,000.
During your year-end review of the accounts related to intangibles, you discover that the company has capitalized all of the above as costs of the patent. Management contends that the device simply represents an improvement of the existing communication system of the satellite and, therefore, should be capitalized.
Required:
Prepare correcting entries that reflect the appropriate treatment of the expenditures.
1. Record the correcting entry to expense R&D costs incorrectly capitalized
2. Record the correcting entry to capitalize the cost of equipment incorrectly capitalized as a patent.
3. Record the correcting entry to record depreciation on equipment used in R&D projects.

He has noticed that one employee is much better at welding than the others, another is better at diagnosing the problems with vehicles, and another is better at taking vehicles apart, removing the damaged parts, and then reinstalling the repaired or new parts.

Suppose a firm’s managers receive bonuses that increase with the size of the firm’s ROE, which was 30% last year and is forecasted to remain at this level during the coming year provided the firm takes on no new expansion projects. Its cost of capital is 10%. Now the firm has the opportunity to make a new investment that promises 20% return on invest capital. Which of the following statements is not correct?a. The example in this question demonstrates the serious weakness in using ROE as the primary criterion in setting executive compensation.b. The new project should be rejected because, if it is accepted, the firm's ROE will decline from 30% because the new ROE will be a weighted average of the old 30% and the 20% returns on the new investment.c. The new project should be accepted because it expected return exceeds the cost of the capital that will be used to finance it.

The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the September 2, 2018, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.

The Company generally recognizes sales, net of returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from members prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales, included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns and reduces sales and merchandise costs accordingly. The Company accounts for membership fee revenue, net of refunds, on a deferred basis, ratably over the one-year membership.

The Company’s Executive members qualify for a 2% reward on qualified purchases (up to a maximum reward of approximately $1,000 per year), which can be redeemed only at Costco warehouses. The Company accounts for this reward as a reduction in sales. The sales reduction and corresponding liability (classified as accrued member rewards in the consolidated balance sheets) are computed after giving effect to the estimated impact of non-redemptions, based on historical data. The net reduction in sales was $1,394, $1,281, and $1,172 in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?

a. Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
b. When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
c. The company records revenue when the cash is received.
d. Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.
