Answer:
$1350
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
depreciation expense under the initial assumptions
($11,000 - $2,200) / 4 = $2200
Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 = $2200 x 2 = $4400
Book value at the beginning of year 3 = $11,000 - $4400 = $6600
Depreciation expense using the new assumptions
($6600 - $1200) / 4 = $1350
John is evaluating which investment would be best for his company. He wants to determine the future value of a certain investment that has the following information:
PV = $200
INT = 0.1 or 10%
N = 1 (years)
According to this information, what would be the future value of this investment?
a) $110.67
b) $200.50
c) $220
d) None of the above
Answer: $220
Explanation:
The following information can be derived from the question:
PV = $200
INT = 0.1 or 10%
N = 1 (years)
To calculate the future value of this investment, we will use the formula:
FV = PV( 1 + i)^n
FV = $200(1 + 0.1)
FV = $200(1.1)
FV = $220
The future value of this investment would be $220.
A merger where one company purchases another as a way to reduce competition, is an example of a type of market activity that governments pass laws against. These types of regulations are described as ______________.
Answer:
B) antitrust laws
Explanation:
Antitrust laws refer to the laws with respect to the competition and it is established by the U.S government. The motive of this to secure the consumers from that business practices who are dealing in predatory and if this law does not exist then the consumers would not gain i.e from the competition arise in the market place
Therefore according to the given situation, when the government passes the law against so this reflect the antitrust laws
rojects A and B are mutually exclusive and have an initial cost of $78,000 each. Project A provides cash inflows of $32,000 a year for three years while Project B produces a cash inflow of $44,400 a year for two years. Which project(s) should be accepted if the discount rate is 10 percent
Answer:
Project A should be accepted.
Explanation:
The initial investment of project A = $78000
The initial investment of project B = $78000
The cash inflows of project A = $32000
The time period for project A = 3 years
The cash inflow of project B = $44400
The time period for project B = 2 years.
Interest rate (r ) = 10%
Now find the net present value of both project and then decide which one has to accept.
The net present value of project A:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{32000(1-(1+0.1)^{-3})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= 79579.26 – 78000 \\= $1579.26[/tex]
The net present value of project B:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{44400(1-(1+0.1)^{-2})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= - 942.14[/tex]
Project A should be accepted because project B has a negative net present value.
Nidal Company reported inventory in the 2020 year-end balance sheet, using the FIFO method, as $185,000. In 2021, the company decided to change its inventory method to average cost. If the company had used the average cost method in 2020, ending inventory would have been $171,000. What adjustment would Nidal make for this change in inventory method
Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $14,000
Cr Inventory $14,000
Explanation:
There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,
Adjusted inventory
= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000
= $14,000 decrease
It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.
Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.
Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.
Answer:
Dr Retained earnings for $14,000
Cr Inventory for $14,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the adjustment that Nidal would make for this change in inventory method
Based of the information given the adjustment will records the decrease in inventory of $14,000 which is calculated as ( Inventory of $185,000 − Ending inventory of $171,000) as well as the decrease in retained earnings, just as if average cost had been used in 2020.]
Therefore the adjustment that Nidal would make for this change in inventory method will be:
Dr Retained earnings for $14,000
Cr Inventory for $14,000.
There are 300 purely competitive farms in the local dairy market. Of the 300 dairy farms, 298 have a cost structure that generates profits of $24 for every $300 invested. Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers. a. What is the percentage rate of return for these 298 dairies

8.00%
Explanation:
The return of the 298 diaries can be computed as the profit generated divided by the amount invested initially.
percentage rate of return=profit generated/amount invested
profit generated is $24
amount invested is $300
percentage rate of return=$24/$300
percentage rate of return=8.00%
"Alou Company has 20,000 beginning finished goods units. Budgeted sales units are 160,000. If management desires 15,000 ending finished goods units, what are the required units of production
Answer:
155,000
Explanation:
The computation of the required units of production is shown below:-
Required units of production = Sales units + Ending finished goods - Beginning finished goods
= 160,000 units + 15,000 units - 20,000 units
= 155,000
Therefore for computing the required units of production we simply applied the above formula.
Clark purchased a life insurance policy on himself and made his son, Russ, the beneficiary. Unfortunately, while Clark was taking a vacation with his wife, he was involved in a car accident and passed away. Russ did not find Clark's insurance policy until six months after Clark's death. Russ immediately contacted the insurance company to claim the money. The insurance company refused to pay him, claiming that he failed to notify it of Clark's death within three months of his death as required by the policy. Russ claimed that he was not bound to the time limitations because even though he knew his dad had insurance, he did not agree to that limitation and was not a party to the contract. Russ is a(n):_________.
1. intended creditor beneficiary
2. incidental beneficiary
3. delegatee
4. assignor
5. promisee
6. delegator
7. intended donee beneficiary
8. promisor
Answer: 7. intended donee beneficiary
Explanation:
Intended donee beneficiaries are people who are gifted the benefit of a contract they are not involved in by one of the contracting parties. The person who was involved in the contract that gave the gift does not owe the person that the gift was promised to any debts which makes it like a donation. Russ is an intended donee beneficiary who was meant to receive a benefit from a contract between Clark and the Insurance company even though he was not party to it.

Its basic earnings per share is $2.75
Explanation:
Basic Earnings Per Share (BEPS) = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stocks ÷ Weighted Average of Common Stocks Outstanding
= $687,500 ÷ 250,000 shares
= $2.75
michael's Inc. just paid $2.75 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 5.9 percent. If you require a rate of return of 10.1 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock?
Answer:
$69.33
Explanation:
Calculation for how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock
Using this formula
P(0)=[Annual dividend *(Increase in future dividend)]/ (Rate of return- Increase in future dividend)
Let plug in the formula
P(0)=[$2.75*(1+0.059)]/(0.101-0.059)
P(0)=$2.75*1.059/0.042
P(0)=$2.91225/0.042
P(0)=$69.33
Therefore the amount you are willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock will be $69.33

Regarding the present value of an annuity, the present value of an annuity due will always be worth less compared to the present value of an ordinary annuity.
a) true
b) false
Answer: false
Explanation:
Annuity due is an annuity whereby the payment is normally due at the beginning of every period which can be annually, semi annually, monthly, or quarterly. Examples of payments with annuity due include rents and, leases.
In ordinary annuity, the main difference is that the payments have to be made at the end of every period.
It should be noted that the present value of an annuity due is typically worth more when it is compared to the present value of ordinary annuity.

Required:
What is the amount of the incremental income (loss) from accepting the order?
Answer:
The amount of the incremental income from accepting the order is $21,750 .
Explanation:
Incremental analysis of Accepting Special Order
Hint : Consider Incremental Amounts Only
Sales (2,000 units × $36) $72,000
Less Expenses
Direct Materials ($5 × 2,000) ($10,000)
Direct Labor ($10 × 2,000) ($20,000)
Variable Overhead ($7 × 2,000) ($14,000)
Special stamping machine ($6250)
Incremental income/ (loss) $21,750
Note : There is excess capacity of 3,000 units (10,000 units - 7,000 units) to meet the Special Order. Hence
Fixed Overheads will be the same whether or not the special order is accepted, hence they are not included in the analysis.
Conclusion :
The amount of the incremental income from accepting the order is $21,750 .
A company had the following cash flows for the year: (a) Purchased inventory, $60,000 (b) Sold goods to customers, $90,000 (c) Received loan from a local bank, $150,000 (d) Purchased land, $180,000 (e) Purchased treasury stock, $40,000 (f) Paid dividends, $10,000 (g) Sold delivery truck, $30,000 What amount would be reported for net investing cash flows on the Statement of Cash Flows
Answer:
($150000)
Explanation:
The computation of the net investing cash flows is shown below;
Purchase of land ($180,000)
Sale of delivery truck $30,000
Net Cash used in Investing activities ($150000)
The purchase of land is an outflow of cash and the sale of delivery truck is a inflow of cash so it would be shown in a negative and positive amount
Thus all other values would be ignored
These statements relate to exchange rates. Label each statement as either True or False. The value of one currency in terms of another currency is called a currency rate. A real exchange rate takes into account differences in countries' price levels. A fried chicken dinner in Tennessee costs $10. Suppose Jared can convert $10 into 7.5 euros. He can purchase the same chicken dinner in Portugal for 7.5 euros. This relationship is called purchasing power parity. After her plane touches down in Moscow, Maggie notices that $1 is worth 25 rubles (Russia's currency). A week later, Maggie returns to the airport to go home and notices that $1 is worth 28 rubles. The ruble has appreciated in value against the dollar. The yen is Japan's currency. In the dollar/yen foreign exchange market, if more yen are being demanded than are being offered, the yen will depreciate in value relative to the dollar.
Answer:
Exchange Rates
Labelling each statement as either True or False:
1. The value of one currency in terms of another currency is called a currency rate.
True
2. A real exchange rate takes into account differences in countries' price levels.
True
3. A fried chicken dinner in Tennessee costs $10. Suppose Jared can convert $10 into 7.5 euros. He can purchase the same chicken dinner in Portugal for 7.5 euros. This relationship is called purchasing power parity.
True
4. After her plane touches down in Moscow, Maggie notices that $1 is worth 25 rubles (Russia's currency). A week later, Maggie returns to the airport to go home and notices that $1 is worth 28 rubles. The ruble has appreciated in value against the dollar.
False
5. The yen is Japan's currency. In the dollar/yen foreign exchange market, if more yen are being demanded than are being offered, the yen will depreciate in value relative to the dollar.
True
Explanation:
1. The meaning of currency rate can be illustrated with the US dollar exchange rate or currency rate with the Swiss francs. The rate tells the value of the dollar in relation to the Swiss francs.
2. Price levels in Country A and Country B determine the exchange rates between Country A's currency and Country B's. The price levels of these two countries are influenced by their economies' inflation and interest rates.
3. Purchasing Power Parity measures the prices of goods and services in different countries based on their dollar prices. It is a way of equalizing prices of goods and services in other countries with the dollar.
4. When US dollar increases in its rate relative to another Japanese yen, the US dollar has depreciated in value. But, the US dollar appreciates when the rate reduces relative to the Japanese yen.
5. Higher demand for the dollar by Japanese businesses than its supply depreciates a Japan's yen since according to the law of supply and demand, "the price (rate) goes up with increasing demand." The reverse is the case with higher supply than demand.
Show your work. Suppose rRF = 6%; rM = 10%; and rA = 14% Calculate Stocks A’s beta. If Stock A’s beta were 2.0, then what would be A’s new required rate of return?
Answer:
Stock A's beta= 2
The new required rate of return = 14%
Explanation:
The risk free return is 6%
The return of market portfolio is 10%
The return of security A is 14%
(A) The beta of stock A can be calculated as follows
Return of security A= Risk free return+ beta(return of market portfolio-risk free return)
14%= 6% + beta(10%-6%)
14%=6% + 4%beta
14%-6%= 4%beta
8%= 4%beta
beta= 8%/4%
beta= 2
(B) Stock A's required rate of return can be calculated as follows
Required rate of return= 6% + 2(10%-6%)
= 6% + 2(4%)
= 6% + 8%
= 14%
Hence the Stock A's beta is 2 and the required rate of return for A is 14%

You have just deposited $5,000 into an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 5.3 percent each year for the next 4 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 10 years from today, you need to have $7,990 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 6 years to accomplish this goal?
Answer:
An interest rate of 4.5% needs to be earned over the last 6 years to accomplish this goal
Explanation:
Firstly, we calculate the interest value on the $5000 deposited at interest of 5.3% for 4 years
We can use the compound interest formula to know the value of the amount
A =I(1 + r)^nt
Where A is the amount which we want to calculate
I is the amount deposited = 5.3% = 5.3/100 = 0.053
n is the number of times per year in which interest is compounded = 1 (annually)
t is the number of years = 4
Plugging the values, we have ;
A = 5000(1 + 0.053)^(4)(1)
A = 5000(1.053)^4
A = $6147.29 which is approximately $6147
Now we want to know the amount of annual interest to be earned over the next 6 years
In this case our A = $7,990
I = $6147
n = 1
t = 6
r = ?
Substituting the values, we have ;
7990= 6147(1 + r)^6
divide both side by 6147
1.3 = (1+r)^6
1+ r = 1.045
r = 1.045-1
r = 0.045 which is same as 4.5%
Craigmont uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. Its year-end unadjusted trial balance shows Accounts Receivable of $138,500, allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,005 (credit) and sales of $1,095,000. If uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 6% of accounts receivable, what is the amount of the bad debts expense adjusting entry
Answer:
The amount of uncollectible accounts is calculated as follows:
Amount of uncollectible accounts to be adjusted = 6% * Account receivables
= 6% * $138,500
=$8,310
Therefore, amount of uncollectible accounts is $8,310.
Bad debt Expenses = Opening balance of allowance for doubtful account (Credit balance) - Uncollectible account
Bad debt Expenses = $8,310 - $1,005
Bad debt Expenses = $7,305
The journal entry to record allowance for bad debts is as follows:
Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Bad debt Expenses $7,305
Allowance for doubtful account $7,305
(To record adjusting entry for bad debt)

Compute the margin for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. Compute the turnover for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 3. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. 28.09 %
2.0.50 times
3.13.97 %
Explanation:
Margin = Profit / Sales × 100
= $ 5,000,000 / $ 17,800,000 × 100
= 28.09 % (2 decimal places.)
Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
= $ 17,800,000 / $ 35,800,000
= 0.50 times (2 decimal places.)
Return on investment = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets employed in the division × 100
= $ 5,000,000 / $ 35,800,000 × 100
= 13.97 % (2 decimal places.)

Dan would like to save $1,500,000 by the time he retires in 30 years and believes he can earn an annual return of 8%. How much does he need to invest in each of the following years to achieve his goal?
a. $13,241
b. $133,239
c. $10,727
d. $52,450
Answer:
$13,241
Explanation:
From the data we were given in the question:
future value = fv = $1,500,000
time = t = 30 year
rate = r = 8%
We are required to find out How much does he need to invest to achieve his goal
solution
future value = principal ( 1+ rate)^(t-1) / rate
1500000 = principal (1 + .08)^(30-1)/ 0.08
we make principal, p, subject of the formula.
principal = 1500000 / ( (1 + .08)^(30-1)/ 0.08 )
Principal = 1,500,000 / 113.2832
principal = 13241.15
so Dan needs to invest $13241

b. What are the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1616.)
c. Which are more relevant, the book or market value weights?
Answer:
(a). Book value of equity is (6,000,000 * $5) = $30,000,000
Book value of debts ($145,000,000 + $130,000,000) = $275,000,000

Equity / Value = 0.0984
Debt / Value = 0.9016
(b). Market value of equity is (6,000,000 * $84) = $504,000,000
Market value of debts ($145,000,000 * 0.95) + ($130,000,000 * 1.07)
= ($137,750,000 + $139,100,000)
= $276,850,000
Total market value of the corporation ($504,000,000 + $276,850,000) = $780,850,000
Weight equity ($504,000,000 / $780,850,000) = 0.6455
Weight debts ($276850000 / $780850000) = 0.3545
Equity / Value = 0.6455
Debt / Value = 0.3545
(C). Answer is Market value . As we know that market value weights are more relevant because such weights are on the basis of the prevailing market prices, hence such weights will show more accurate picture of the capital structure.
Record the following transactions on the books of Cohen Co. (Omit cost of goods sold entries.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
(a) On July 1, Cohen Co. sold merchandise on account to Tracy Inc. for $23,000, terms 2/10, n/30.
(b) On July 8, Tracy Inc. returned merchandise worth $2,400 to Cohen Co.
(c) On July 11, Tracy Inc. paid for the merchandise.
Answer:
a.
July 1
Accounts Receivable 23000 Dr
Sales Revenue 23000 Cr
b.
July 8
Sales Return 2400 Dr
Accounts Receivable 2400 Cr
c.
July 11
Cash 20600 Dr
Accounts Receivable 20600 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The sales made on credit are recorded as a debit to the accounts receivable and a credit to sales revenue by the amount of sales assuming we use the gross method to record sale.
b.
The return of sales is recorded as a debit to the sales return account and a credit to the accounts receivable to reduce the amount due from accounts receivable.
c.
The remaining accounts receivable amount after sales return amounted to 23000 - 2400 = 20600
The sales terms were 2/10 which means a 2% discount was allowed if the accounts receivable pay within 10 days of sale. The payment is received after the discount period. Thus, we will not deduct the discount allowed and accounts receivable will pay fill $20600.
Identify each of the following items as either a capital expenditure (C), an immediate expense (E), or neither (N):
1. Paid property taxes of $75,000 for the first year the new building is occupied.
2. Paid interest on construction note for new plant building, $550,000
3. Repaired plumbing in main plant, paying $270,000 cash.
4. Purchased equipment for new manufacturing plant, $6,000,000; financed with long-term nc
5. Paid dividends of $40,000.
6. Purchased a computer and peripheral equipment for $29,000 cash.
7. Paved a parking lot on leased property for $300,000.
8. Paid $90,000 in cash for installation of equipment in (4).
9. Paid $148,000 to tear down old building on new plant site.
10. Paid $31 ,000 maintenance on equipment in (4) during its first year of use.
Answer:
Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure.
Options 1, 3, and 10 are the immediate expenses.
Option 5 is Neither.
Explanation:
Capital expenditure is those expenditures that are incurred to maintain the fixed assets. Thus Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure. While the expenses that are compulsory and immediate in nature are called the immediate expenses. This means if the equipment requires repairing then it will fall in the category of immediate expense because without repairing it won't work. Therefore, a property tax of $75000, repair of the main plant, and maintenance for equipment are immediate expenses.
Suppose that, during a recession, the government borrows money to provide free movies as a distraction from the poor economy. Which of the following statements are correct?

D. The government is engaging in contractionary fiscal policy.
E. Crowding-out will occur as individuals choose to rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own.
Answer: A. . The free movies as a distraction from the poor economy will likely raise interest rates as the government borrows more money to finance the purchase.
B. This policy will likely be accompanied by an impact lag as the policy takes time to make its way to the people.
E. Crowding-out will occur as individuals choose to rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own
Explanation:
We are informed that during a recession, the government borrows money to provide free movies as a distraction from the poor economy.
The effect of this is that there will be a likely increase in the interest rates because the government borrows more money to finance the purchase of tickets.
Also, due to the free movies, there'll be an impact lag as the policy will take time before it make its way to the people and there will also be crowding-out because the individuals will rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own.
The Library is a new bar in town. Unlike the other bars in town, it charges no cover charge. The new bar has also priced its beer at $3 less per pitcher than its competition. Given what you know about pricing strategies, which pricing strategy is the owner of the new bar using
Answer: B. Penetration pricing
Explanation:
Penetration pricing is a strategy that is used by new companies in a market to capture market share from more established competitors. The process is for the new company to charge a lesser price than the amount that the other companies are charging which will bring people to the new firm for patronage.
It will thus capture market share and due to the high demand, be able to make profits due to Economies of Scale.
By charging less than its competitors, the new bar's owner is most likely pursuing a Penetration Strategy.
Osawa, Inc., planned and actually manufactured 200,000 units of its single product in 2017, its first year of operation. Variable manufacturing cost was $20 per unit produced. Variable operating (nonmanufacturing) cost was $10 per unit sold. Planned and actual fixed manufacturing costs were $600,000. Planned and actual fixed operating (nonmanufacturing) costs totaled $400,000. Osawa sold 120,000 units of product at $40 per unit.
Required:
Osawa's 2017 operating income using variable costing is:________
(a) $ 620,000,
(b) $ 340,000,
(c) $ 200,000,
(d) $ 560,000, or
(e) none of these.
Show supporting calculations. Begin by selecting the labels used in the variable costing calculation of operating income and enter the supporting amounts. Perform the calculations in this step, but select the correct operating income in the next step.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
We need to calculate the net operating income:
Sales= 120,000*40= 4,800,000
Total variable cost= (20 + 10)*120,000= (3,600,000)
Total contribution margin= 1,200,000
Fixed manufacturing costs= (600,000)
Fixed operating (nonmanufacturing) costs= (400,000)
Net operating income= 200,000
