Answer:
a. The journal entries for the impaired goodwill as at Dec 31 would be:
Debit Impairment expense/charge $51,500
Credit Goodwill/Allowance for impairment $51,500
(To recognize impairment expense on goodwill)
b. Journal entries for the amortization of the patent as at Dec 31 would be:
Debit Amortization expense $9,600 [$115,200/12]
Credit Accumulated amortization $9,600
(To recognize amortization expense on patent)
Explanation:
A goodwill is impaired when its carrying value exceeds its fair value. The impairment test is carried out annually and the difference by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the fair value is charged to the profit or loss account as impairment expense. The impairment reduces the goodwill to its fair value.
Goodwill belongs to a class of intangible asset and it arises essentially as a result of business combination. A business combination occurs when a company acquires another company.
False Value Hardware began 2021 with a credit balance of $32,900 in the refund liability account. Sales and cash collections from customers during the year were $730,000 and $690,000, respectively. False Value estimates that 7% of all sales will be returned. During 2021, customers returned merchandise for credit of $18,000 to their accounts.
Answer:
Closing balance = $66,OOO
Explanation:
DATA
Opening balance in allowance for sales return = 32,900
Sales = 730,000
Cash Collection= 690,000
Estimated sales return = 7% of all sales = 51100
Merchandise return for credit = 18,000
We can calculate the closing balance in the allowance for sales return account by adding estimated returns and deducting merchandise return from opening balance.
Closing balance = Opening balance + Estimated sales return - Merchandise return for credit
Closing balance = $32,900 + $51,100 - $18,000
Closing balance = $66,OOO
The crowding-out effect refers to the possibility that:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
b. an increase in the supply of money will induce a decline in real spending.
c. when used simultaneously, expansionary fiscal and monetary policies are counter-productive.
d. the speculative demand for money varies inversely with the interest rate.
Answer:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
Explanation:
Crowding out effect is when government borrowing from the capital markets leads to an increase in interest rate. this makes it more expensive for private sector to borrow and this reduces investment by private sector
Darth Company sells three products. Sales and contribution margin ratios for the three products follow: Given these data, the contribution margin ratio for the company as a whole would be:
Answer: A. 25%
Explanation:
The Contribution margin for the whole company = [tex]\frac{Total Contribution Margin Amounts}{Total Sales}[/tex]
Total Contribution Margin = (0.45 * 25,000) + (0.4 * 40,000) + ( 0.15 * 100,000)
= 9,000+16,000+15,000
= $40,000
Total Sales = 20,000+40,000+100,000
= $160,000
Contribution Margin for the whole Company = [tex]\frac{40,000}{160,000}[/tex]
= 25%

Explanation:
Common Stocks are at no par value:
This means that ,
1.When Common Stocks are Issued, the value is the issue price there is no share premium reserve on it.
2. For consideration paid in Common Stocks, value of stocks would be the same as the cost at initial recognition. For example the Purchase of Land on April 1. Initial recognition is at Asking Price of $91,000. Hence common stocks are issued at $91,000.
Preference Stocks are at $100 par
This means that,
1.Any issue of Preference Stock made in excess of par value is accounted in the Preference Share Premium Reserve.
Scenario: Home Monopolist) A monopolist faces a demand curve given by P = 60 2Q and has total costs given by TC = Q2. Its marginal revenue is MR = 60 4Q and its marginal cost is MC = 2Q. Compared with the no-trade equilibrium, consumer surplus ___________ when the monopolist engages in free trade.
Answer:
2Q
Explanation:
Economy equilibrium is where MC = MR.
Marginal cost equals marginal return when the supply and demand is linear. Consumer surplus is the additional amount that a consumer is willing to pay for the goods and services. Here MC = 2Q and MR = 60 + 4Q. Here consumer is paying 2Q additional in the equation of marginal return.
Brown Industries has a debt-equity ratio of 1.5. Its WACC is 9.6 percent, and its cost of debt is 5.7 percent. There is no corporate tax. a. What is the company's cost of equity capital
Answer:
Cost of equity capital is 0.122 or 12.2%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a company's capital structure. The capital structure may contain one, two or all of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is calculated by taking the weighted average of the each components cost.
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each componentr represents the cost of each componentD, P and E represent debt, preferred stock and common equity respectivelyTo calculate the cost of equity capital, we first need to find out the weight of each component in the capital structure.
debt to equity = 1.5
So, debt = 1
equity = 1.5
Total assets = 1 + 1.5 = 2.5
wD = 1/2.5 = 0.4
wE = 1.5/2.5 =0.6
Using the WACC formula,
0.096 = 0.4 * 0.057 + 0.6 * rE
0.096 = 0.0228 + 0.6 * rE
0.096 - 0.0228 = 0.6 * rE
0.0732 / 0.6 = rE
rE = 0.122 or 12.2%

Answer:
d. 2.83
Explanation:
Note: The financial statement in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the full question with the sorted financial statement.
The explanation to the answer is now as follows:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that is used in measuring whether a company has adequate resources to meet its short-term obligations or pay its liabilities from its current assets.
The current ratio provides a comparison current assets to current liabilities of a company and it can be calculated using the following formula:
Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities ................. (1)
From the 2017 balance sheet of Burnaby Mountain Trading Company, we have:
Total current assets = $1,700,000
Total current liabilities = $600,000
Substituting the values for Total current assets and Total current liabilities into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = $1,700,000 / $600,000 = 2.83
Therefore, The firm's current ratio for 2017 is 2.83. That is, the correct option is option d. 2.83.
This indicates that the firm has more than enough current assets to pay off 2.83 or 283% of its current liabilities.
A growing population encourages economic growth as it creates a larger workforce. Suppose a surge in immigration increases a country's total population and its overall economic output increases. As a result, the country's real GDP increases from $304,000 to $316,500. What is the percent change in real GDP
Answer:
4.11%
Explanation:
the percentage change in real GDP = [(new real GDP - old real GDP) / old real GDP] x 100 = [($316,500 - $304,000) / $304,000] x 100 = 4.11%
Generally a surge in immigration will result in both higher nominal and real GDP, but what should be more important is how real GDP per capita changes. If real GDP per capita increases, then the inflow was positive and made the economy grow for better. If real GDP per capita decreases, even if total real GDP increases, then the economy is not doing better.
Bobby is a self-employed taxpayer reporting his business income on Schedule C (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). Identity thieves gained access to his business checking account and stole $10,000. After completing Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts, where does Bobby report this on his tax return?

Consider the following $1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds: Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 6.00 % B 2 7.00 % C 3 7.99 % D 4 9.41 % E 5 10.70 % The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years from now should be _________.
Answer:
16.01%
Explanation:
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years from now is determined using the below formula:
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=(1+YTM5)^5/(1+YTM4)^4-1
YTM5 is the yield to maturity in year 5 i.e 10.70%
YTM4 is the yield to maturity in year 4 i.e 9.41%
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=(1+10.70%)^5/(1+9.41%)^4-1
The expected 1-year interest rate 4 years=16.01%
What is the approximate yield to maturity and the exact yield to maturity (use a calculator) for the $1,000 semi-annual bond? Assume this is issued in the United States: 10 years to maturity, 6 percent coupon rate, current price is $950.
Answer:
6.67% and 6.694%
Explanation:
The computation of the approximate yield to maturity and the exact yield to maturity is shown below:
For Approximate yield to maturity it is
= 2 × ((Face value - current price) ÷ (2 × time period) + face value × coupon rate ÷ 2) ÷ (Face value + current price) ÷ 2)
=2 × (($1,000 - $950) ÷ (2 × 10) + $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2) ÷ (($1,000 + $950) ÷ 2)
= 6.67%
Now
the Exact yield to maturity is
= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)
= RATE (10 × 2, 6% × $1000 ÷ 2,-$950,$1,000) × 2
= 6.694%
Exercise 16-18 Indigo Inc. presented the following data. Net income$2,410,000 Preferred stock: 52,000 shares outstanding, $100 par, 8% cumulative, not convertible5,200,000 Common stock: Shares outstanding 1/1729,600 Issued for cash, 5/1296,400 Acquired treasury stock for cash, 8/1152,400 2-for-1 stock split, 10/1 Compute earnings per share.
Answer:
EPS = $11.74 per share
Explanation:
earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average shares outstanding
net income = $2,410,000
preferred dividends = 52,000 x $100 x 8% = $416,000
weighted average shares outstanding:

CR Cash $1,760
(To record repair of van)
April 29,
DR Delivery Van $52
CR Cash $52
(To record installation of GPS system in Van)
Explanation:
The transmission being faulty in the Van is part of the depreciation of the van and so when it is fixed, it reduces the depreciation of the van. The amount needs to be debited to the Accumulated Depreciation Account to signal that it is a reduction.
Installing a new GPS in a Van is an additional benefit to the van that will last for a period of more than a year hence it should be capitalised and added to the cost of the Delivery Van.

Western Electric has 26,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $67 and a rate of return of 13.60 percent. The firm has 6,700 shares of 6.60 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $89.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $368,000 and currently sells for 105 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 7.72 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 35 percent?
Answer:
Weighted average cost of capital= 11.03%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Calculate cost of individual source of finance:
Cost of Equity= 13.6%
After-tax cost of debt:
= (1- T) × before-tax cost of debt
= 7.72%× (1-0.35)= 5.018 %
Cost of preferred stock costs
= Div/Price × 100 = (6.60%× 100)/89× 100 =7.42%
Step 2 : Market value of all the sources of funds
Equity = $67×26,000 =1,742,000
Preferred stock = 89.00 × 6,700 = $596,300
Debt- 105/100 × 368,000 = $386,400
Step 3; Work out weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Source Cost Market value Cost × Market value a b c b× c
Equity 13.6% $1,742,000 236,912
Preferred stock 7.42% $596,300 = 44,245.46
Debt 5.018 % 386400 = 19,389.55
Total 2,724,700 300,547.01
WACC = (300,547.01/ 2,724,700) × 100 = 11.03%
Weighted average cost of capital= 11.03%
The value of a listed call option on a stock is lower when: I. The exercise price is higher. II. The contract approaches maturity. III. The stock decreases in value. IV. A stock split occurs.
Answer: a. I, II, and III only
Explanation:
The exercise price refers to the amount that the person who buys the call option will get to buy the underlying stock at. If this price is high, the profit from buying the stock at maturity will be less so the value of the listed call option reduces.
As the contract approaches maturity, the value will decrease because it will be less volatile as it approaches maturity.
The purpose of buying a call option is so that a profit can be made if the underlying stock increases in value. If the stock decreases in value, the allure of the call option decreases so therefore will the value.
A call bond option is termed as the option that implies the bondholder the right to purchase the bonds at the prevailing price in the market. A buyer of a bond call option in the secondary market forecasts a drop in investment substantial rise in bond prices.
The correct option is a. I, II, and III only
Option a. I, II, and III only is correct because The contract value will decline as it reaches maturation because it will become less unpredictable.
