(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)
2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)
Note that $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill account in part 1 above.
The $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill because when the consideration is greater than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is the Goodwill.
When Net Consideration is more than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Goodwill.

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)
Note that $4,000 is transferred to Capital Reserve in part 1 above.
The $4,000 is transferred to Capital Rserve because when the consideration is less than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is Capital Reserve.
When Net Consideration is less than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Capital reserve.

Tucker Company makes chairs. Tucker has the following production budget for January - March.
January February March
Units Produced 9666 11971 9743
Each chair produced uses 4 board feet of wood. Management wants ending inventory levels of raw materials to equal 20% gf the production needs (in wood) for the next month.
How many board feet of wood does Tucker need to purchase in February? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer: 46,101 board feet of wood
Explanation:
Purchases can be calculated using the formula;
Purchases = Total Production Needs + Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory
Total Production Needs
= Units produced * boards required per unit
= 11,971 * 4
= 47,884 units needed.
Ending Inventory.
This should be 20% of production needs for the next month
= 20% * (9,743 * 4)
= 7,794 units
Beginning Inventory
This will be the ending inventory of January. The ending inventory of January is 20% of February needs.
= 20% * 47,884
= 9,577 units.
Purchases for February = 47,884 + 7,794 - 9,577
= 46,101 board feet of wood
Which of the following is not a related party for constructive ownership purposes under § 267? a.The taxpayer's grandmother. b.A corporation owned more than 50% by the taxpayer. c.The taxpayer's brother. d.The taxpayer's aunt. e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
A). The taxpayer's aunt.
Explanation:
Constructive ownership is demonstrated as the allocation of stock ownership from one to another taxpayer by the integrity of their relationship. For example, the parents own the stocks of their children constructively. As per the section (c) of constructive ownership under § 267, the party that cannot be a related part for constructive ownership purposes would be 'the aunt' of the taxpayer as she is not related to the taxpayer with blood either half or whole. Thus, she would not have any ownership right over the stock or shares and hence, option C is the correct answer.
First Class, Inc., expects to sell 22,000 pool cues for $12.00 each. Direct materials costs are $4.00, direct manufacturing labor is $6.00, and manufacturing overhead is $0.84 per pool cue. The following inventory levels apply to 2019: Beginning inventory Ending inventory Direct materials 26,000 units 26,000 units Work−in−process inventory 0 units 0 units Finished goods inventory 1,000 units 2,900 units What are the 2019 budgeted costs for direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead, respectively?
Answer:
budgeted costs for direct materials
$88,000budgeted direct manufacturing labor
$132,000budgeted manufacturing overhead
$18,480Explanation:
Direct materials costs are $4.00 per pool cue.
Direct manufacturing labor is $6.00 per pool cue.
Manufacturing overhead is $0.84 per pool cue.
total budgeted direct materials = 22,000 x $4 = $88,000
total budgeted direct labor = 22,000 x $6 = $132,000
total budgeted manufacturing overhead = 22,000 x $0.84 = $18,480
The information about the beginning and ending inventories is not relevant to this question since it only deals with budgeted or estimated costs which may or may not differ from actual costs.
Bedford had this info at the end of 2015, its first year of operations: No other permanent or temporary differences exist. The litigation item will be paid in 2018. The depreciation will reverse evenly over the next three years. Tax rate is 30%. Future net income is probable. The 12/31/15 Income Tax Payable is:
Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
Seeing as the litigation expense will only be paid in 2018, it should be added back to income for 2015.
= 900,000 + 100,000
= $1,000,000
As the depreciation will reverse evenly over the next three years and with future income probable, it should be removed from income.;
= 1,000,000 - 300,000
= $700,000
Municipal Bonds have the advantage of being Tax-exempt so their interest income should be removed to calculate how much tax should be paid.
= 700,000 - 200,000
= $500,000
2015 Income Tax Payable = 500,000 * 30%
= $150,000

company's retained earnings have a financing cost associated with them because retained earnings belong to which of the following? a. The common stockholders b. The company's long-term debt holders c. The preferred stockholders d. The company
Answer:
a. The common stockholders.
Explanation:
A company's retained earnings have a financing cost associated with them because retained earnings belong to the common stockholders.
Retained earnings can be defined as the accumulated profits or net income generated by an organization but are not distributed or given as dividends to the stockholders, rather are reinvested in to the business.
Generally, retained earnings are used to pay off debts, used for capital expenditures and working capitals.
Retained earnings represents the total stockholders' equity reinvested back into the company.
Wang Co. manufactures and sells a single product that sells for $450 per unit; variable costs are $270 per unit. Annual fixed costs are $800,000. Current sales volume is $4,200,000. Compute the contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit= $450
Unitary variable costs=$270
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
contribution margin ratio= (450 - 270) / 450
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
Builtrite bonds have the following: 5 ½% coupon, 11 years until maturity, $1000 par and are currently selling at $1054. If you want to make an 5% return, what would you be willing to pay for the bond?
Answer:
$1,041.53
Explanation:
The price that a rational investor would pay for the bond yearning for 5% rate of return can be determined using excel pv function below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the yield expected by the investor
nper is the number of annual coupons remaining i.e 11
pmt is the amount of annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5.5%=$55
fv is the face value of $1000
=-pv(5%,11,55,1000)=$1,041.53
How have or will external factors result in the overhaul of a traditional industry of your choice (such as retail or any other) as we know it? Please explain and cite examples.
Explanation:
External factors can directly impact the revision of a traditional sector.
Considering the retail sector as an example, we can see how it was impacted by new technologies such as the insertion of commercial activities in an online environment.
New technologies such as the internet are tools for interaction and information exchange where companies can prospect customers and create relationship marketing that promotes greater value and positioning for a company.
For a retailer who wants to remain competitive, it is important to adapt to new ways of making sales, reinventing and updating their payment, delivery, sales and marketing processes and systems.
Prepare journal entries to record the following four separate issuances of stock. A corporation issued 8,000 shares of $20 par value common stock for $192,000 cash. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has a $1 per share stated value. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has no stated value. A corporation issued 2,000 shares of $100 par value preferred stock for $247,000 cash.
Answer:
Journal Entries
1. A corporation issued 8,000 shares of $20 par value common stock for $192,000 cash:
Debit Cash Account $192,000
Credit Common Stock $160,000
Credit Paid-in In Excess of Par $32,000
To record the issue of 8,000 shares of $20 par value.
2. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has a $1 per share stated value:
Debit Retained Earnings $4,000
Credit Common Stock $4,000
To record the issue of 4,000 shares of $1 stated value.
3. A corporation issued 4,000 shares of no-par common stock to its promoters in exchange for their efforts, estimated to be worth $47,000. The stock has no stated value:
Debit Retained Earnings $47,000
Credit Common Stock $47,000
To record the issue of 4,000 shares of no stated value.
4. A corporation issued 2,000 shares of $100 par value preferred stock for $247,000 cash:
Debit Cash $247,000
Credit Preferred Stock $200,000
Credit Paid-in In Excess of Par $47,000
To record the issue of 2,000 shares of $100 par value.
Explanation:
Shares can be issued at par value, above, or below par value. When they are issued at par value, the Cash Account or Retained Accounts or Asset Account is debited, while the Stock account is credited. If they are above par value, the difference in at par and above is credited to the Paid-in In Excess of Par account or Additional Paid-in Capital account. When they are issued below the par value, the difference between cash received and the stock account is debited to Paid-in In Excess of Par account.
The stated value of a share is like the par value. Some shares have no stated value and are recorded at whichever value is prevailing at the time of the issue.

National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $55 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $78 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,300 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $157,700. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant?
Answer:
National Chemical Company
New Variant of a Chemical Compound:
The effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant is that total profit increases by $33,200
Explanation:
a) Data:
Selling price of old chemical = $55
Selling price of fined chemical = $78
Initial demand for the new compound = 8,300 gallons
Refining costs for the new compound = $157,700
b) Calculations:
Profit from new fined chemical = $23 ($78 - 55)
Differential Sales revenue = $190,900 ($23 x 8,300)
Differential processing costs $157,700
Effect on total profit = $33,200
c) Refining a chemical always add some value to the chemical. The additional value added is the differential sales revenue that National generates minus the additional processing costs involved to get the chemical refined.
On January 1, 2020, Piper Corp. purchased 40% of the voting common stock for of Betz, Inc. for $2,000,000 and appropriately accounts for its investment by the equity method. During 2020, Betz reported earnings of $720,000 and paid dividends of $240,000. Ignore the dividend-received deduction. Piper's current enacted income tax rate is 21%. The increase in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is
Answer:
$57,600
Explanation:
The computation of the increase in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is shown below:-
Purchase of voting Common stock of Betz inc. by Piper Corp.= ( Betz's reported earnings - Betz Paid Dividends ) × (Percentage of the voting Common stock of Betz inc.)
= ($720,000 - $240,000) × 40%
= $480,000 × 40%
= $192,000
Now, the rise in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is
Purchase of voting Common stock of Betz inc. by Piper Corp. × enacted tax rate
= $192,000 × 30%
= $57,600
Your coworker just finished a formal report for her manager. You notice the report has the title page on top with a staple in the upper left-hand corner. What advice can you give her
Answer:
Enclose the report in a binder made of vinyl or hard paper
Explanation:
Remember, this report isn't some casual document to anyone, but a formal report to a respectable personality–the manager.
Professionally such reports are binded so as to enclose them properly with vinyl or hard paper, instead of simply using a staple. Also, I'll recommend that she places the the title page after the cover before the main contents of the report.
A firm expects to sell 25,200 units of its product at $11.20 per unit and to incur variable costs per unit of $6.20. Total fixed costs are $72,000. The total contribution margin is:
Answer:
The answer is $126,000
Explanation:
Contribution Margin is calculated as selling price minus the variable cost. It measures the ability of the sales price to cover the variable cost incurred on the goods produced.
Selling price per unit - $11.20
Variable cost per unit - $6.20
Contribution margin = $11.20 - $6.20
= $5
Total contribution margin is
$5 x 25,200 units
= $126,000
Carla Vista Company has the following information available for September 2020.
Unit selling price of video game consoles $410
Unit variable costs $328
Total fixed costs $36,900
Units sold 600
1. Compute the unit contribution margin.
2. Prepare a CVP income statement that shows both total and per unit amounts.
3. Compute Carla Vista’ break-even point in units.
4. Prepare a CVP income statement for the break-even point that shows both total and per unit amounts.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unit selling price of video game consoles $410
Unit variable costs $328
Total fixed costs $36,900
Units sold 600
First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 410 - 328= $82
Contribution margin income statement:
Sales= 600*410= 246,000
Total variable cost= 600*328= (196,800)
Total contribution margin= 49,200
Fixed costs= (36,900)
Net operating income= $12,300
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 39,200/82
Break-even point in units= 478 units
Finally, the income statement for the break-even point:
Sales= 478*410= 195,980
Total variable cost= 478*328= (156,784)
Total contribution margin= 39,196

A stock has a variance of 0.02468, a current price of $28 a share, and an average rate of return of 14.4 percent. How is the coefficient of variation (CoV) computed
Answer: 1.09
Explanation:
Coefficient of Variation (CoV) is calculated by the formula;
= [tex]\frac{Standard Deviation}{Expected Return}[/tex]
The Variance is given. Standard Deviation is;
= √Variance
= √0.02468
= 0.15709869509
Coefficient of Variation is therefore;
= [tex]\frac{0.15709869509}{0.144}[/tex]
= 1.09096316037
= 1.09
BBQ Corporation has a target capital structure that is 70 percent equity, 30 percent debt. The flotation costs for equity issues are 15 percent of the amount raised; the flotation costs for debt are 8 percent. If BBQ needs $150 million for a new manufacturing facility, what is the cost when flotation costs are considered
Answer:
$172,215,844 is the cost when flotation costs are considered
Explanation:
flotation
Weighted average flotation cost = {(Flotation cost debt * Weight debt) + (Flotation cost equity * Weight equity)
= (8% * 0.30) + (15% * 0.70)
=0.024 + 0.105
= 0.129
= 12.9%
Calculation of the cost of funds
Cost of funds = Amount raised / (1 - Weighted average floatation cost)
= $150,000,000 / (1-0.129)
= $150,000,000 / (0.871)
=$172,215,844
Therefore, the cost of raising fund is $172,215,844
Suppose a seven-year, $ 1 comma 000$1,000 bond with aa 7.7 %7.7% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.45 %6.45%. a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. b. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.36 %7.36% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for?
Answer:
a. Premium
b. $1,018.34
Explanation:
a. For computing the present value we need to apply the formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 6.45% ÷ 2 = 3.225%
NPER = 7 years × 2 = 14 years
PMT = $1,000 × 7.7% ÷2 = $38.50
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $1,069.53
Since the present value is more than the face value so the bond is currently sold at a premium
b. For computing the present value we need to apply the formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 7.36% ÷ 2 = 3.68%
NPER = 7 years × 2 = 14 years
PMT = $1,000 × 7.7% ÷2 = $38.50
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $1,018.34
