Answer:
Yes, the budget deficit is inevitable.
Explanation:
When the economy is on the upward-sloping portion of the Laffer Curve, any increase in tax rates will produce more revenue, and any decrease in tax rates will produce less revenue. This is because tax rates are not yet at the optimal point of the Laffer curve.
In this case, the federal budget was balanced, but the goverment cut tax rates while being on the upward-sloping portion of the Laffer curve, which means that tax revenue decreased. However, at the same time the government increased government purchases, and the combination of less tax revenue and more government spending will naturally result in a budget deficit.

d. net income.
From the question, we are informed that Wilson Corp. purchased its own par value stock on January 1, 2015 for $20,000 and debited the treasury stock account for the purchase price. The stock was subsequently sold for $12,000.
Therefore, the $8,000 difference between the cost and sales price should be recorded as a deduction from the additional from the paid-in capital to the extent that previous net "gains" from sales of the same class of stock are included therein otherwise, from the retained earnings.
The revenue recognition principle says divide time into equal periods to measure net income or net loss properly. B. match revenues and expenses in order to compute net income. C. record revenue only after you have earned it. D. record revenue only when you receive cash.
Answer:
C. Record revenue only after you have earned it
Explanation:
The revenue recognition principle says record revenue only after you have earned it.
Revenue recognition principle is an accounting principle that helps to determine how and when revenue is to be recognized.
Revenue recognition principle requires that revenues can only be recognized when they are realized and earned, not when cash is received.
Revenue can be calculated by multiplying price by units of quantity demanded.
That is,
Revenue= Price × Quantity demanded

Strong Look Corporation provided the following information to its accountants. The company had current assets of $145,332, net fixed assets of $356,190, and other assets of $4,176. The firm has long-term debt of $76,445, common stock of $200,000, and retained earnings of $134,461. What amount of current liabilities does this firm have?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following :
current assets = $145,332
Net fixed assets = $356,190
Other assets = $4,176
Long-term debt = $76,445
Common stock = $200,000
Retained earnings = $134,461
Current liabilities = ( Total assets - Long-term debt - Total stockholders' equity)
Total assets = (current + net + other) assets
Total assets = $(145,332 + 356,190 + 4, 176) = $505,698
Total Stockholder's equity = ( common stocks + retained earning)
Total stockholders' equity = $200,000 + $134,461 = $334,461
Current liabilities = ( Total assets - Long-term debt - Total stockholders' equity)
Current Liabilities :
($505,698 - $76,445 - $334,461) = $94,792
At December 31, Tremble Music had account balances in Accounts Receivable of $300,000 and in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $1,000 (credit) before any adjustments. An analysis of Tremble's December 31 accounts receivable suggests that 5% of the account balances are not expected to be collected. The balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts after adjustment will be:
Answer:
$15,000.
Explanation:
So, in this particular question we are given the following parameters or data or information which is going aid us in solving the problem;
=> "At December 31, Tremble Music had account balances in Accounts Receivable of $300,000 "
=>" At December 31, Tremble Music had account balances in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $1,000 (credit) before any adjustments"
=> "An analysis of Tremble's December 31 accounts receivable suggests that 5% of the account balances are not expected to be collected"
So, looking at the third point from the question above, we see that "accounts receivable suggests that 5% of the account balances", thus, we have that;
$300,000, which is the account receivable multiply by 5%. That is;
$300,000 × 5/100 = $15,000.
Conor broke his wrist while playing basketball in the backyard. He ended up in the hospital. After an X-ray, MRI, doctor visit and a cast, he receives a hospital bill for $10,000. According to his health insurance policy, he has $2,000 deductible (which he did not pay this year at all) and a 20% co-pay. How much Conor will have to pay for the hospital?
Answer:
$6,000
Explanation:
A deductible is the amount Conor has to pay before his medical bills and prescriptions start getting coverage from his insurance.
Step 1: 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000
A co-pay is a fixed amount the insured has to pay for certain medical services.
Step 2: 20% of 8,000 or 0.20 times 8,000 = 1,600
Step 3: add $2,000 (the deductible you have to pay) and $1,600 (the co-pay)
Total amount that Conor will have to pay for the hospital: $3,600

Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that when he received the bill, their was large charges in excess of his maximum out-of-pocket limit which is a limit on the amount of money a person or an individual have to pay for covered medical care services in which we were still told that the large charges in excess of his maximum out-of-pocket limit also include a number of services and items he thought would be fully covered, therefore since he called you to ask what he could do, What you could tell him is that you will offer to help him review all the plans appeal process and to as well help him to ask the plan to review the coverage decision which is why coverage decision is of benefit because it enables a person or an individual to makes decision about their benefits including the amount they have to pay for their medical services plan.
Rapid-Built Homes specializes in low-cost prefabricated, modular homes that can be erected in a mat-ter of days anywhere in the country. Rapid-Built focuses on entire subdivisions of homes developed by real estate speculators. ModernModular Homes (ModMod) specializes in modular homes designed by architects which can be built anywhere in the country. The buyers usually build the home themselves from kits on their own lots. ModMod sells fewer than 100 house kits per year. ModMod is run by two professors of architecture as a sideline business. According to the "Framework of Competitive Analys-is," we can say that Rapid-Built and ModMod:________.
a. are direct mutually-acknowledged competitors.
b. have high resource similarity.
c. have high market commonality.
d. are probably not engaged in intense competitive rivalry.
Answer:
D, are probably not engaged in intense competitive rivalry
Explanation:
A competitive analysis framework or framework of competitive analysis can be said to be an analysis model that is used to examine a competitor market structure. This in turn helps you to properly prepare or structure your market analysis.
There are about 5 competitive analysis frameworks. They include SWOT(strength Weakness Opportunity Threats), Porter's five forces, Strategic group analysis, growth share matrix, perceptual mapping.
In the case of Rapid-Built Homes and ModMod, they are not exactly involved in intense competitive rivalry because while Rapid-Built homes is a developed by real estate speculators, ModMod is a side business for two architecture professors. This means that selling of housing units by Rapid-Builts is the source of main income for the company while for ModMod, is it not the main source of income for the professors.

Q 8.17: The financial statements of the Larson Company report net sales of $1,000,000 and accounts receivable of $80,000 and $60,000 at the beginning of the year and end of year, respectively. What is the average collection period for accounts receivable in days
Answer:
25.55 days
Explanation:
first we must calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable
net sales = $1,000,000
average accounts receivable ($80,000 + $60,000) / 2 = $70,000
accounts receivable turnover ratio = $1,000,000 / $70,000 = 14.286
average collection period = 365 days / accounts receivable turnover ratio = 365 / 14.286 = 25.55 days

At December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley, Inc.: ending inventory $155,377; beginning inventory $119,035; cost of goods sold $349,114; and sales revenue $761,865
Calculate the inventory turnover ratio for Oakley, Inc. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.12.)
Inventory turnover ratio times
Answer:
143.444 days
Explanation:
For the computation of inventory turnover ratio first we need to find out the average inventory and inventory turnover which is shown below:-
Average inventory
= (Ending inventory + Beginning inventory) ÷ 2
= ($155,377 + $119,035) ÷ 2
= $137,206
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $349,114 ÷ $137,206
= 2.5444 times
Days in Inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory Turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.5444
= 143.444 days

Regardless of whether a business uses FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average cost for its inventory costing system, cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between these two categories. Multiple Choice beginning inventory and cost of goods sold. net purchases during the period and ending inventory. ending inventory and beginning inventory. ending inventory and cost of goods sold.
Answer:
Cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
Cost of goods available for sale can be described as the maximum amount of inventory, stock, or goods that is possible for a firm to sell during an accounting period. It is the maximum amount because it is not possible for a firm to sell more than the cost of goods available for sale.
The cost of goods available for sale is obtained by adding beginning inventory and net purchases during an accounting period. This can be stated as follows:
COGAFS = BI + NP ............................... (1)
Where;
COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale
BI = Beginning inventory
NP = Net purchases
At the end of an accounting period, ending inventory is deducted from the cost of goods available for sale to obtain cost of goods sold as follows:
COGS = COGAFS - EI ............................ (2)
Where;
COGS = Cost of goods sold
COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale
EI = Ending inventory
Rearranging equation (2) and solve for COGAFS, we have:
COGFAS = COGS + EI ........................... (3)
Equation (3) therefore implies that the correct option is "cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold".
Jenkins Inc., prepared its financial statement for 2008 based on the information given here. The company had cash worth $1,234, inventory worth $13,480, and accounts receivables of $7,789. The company's net fixed assets are $42,331, and other assets are $1,822. It had accounts payables of $9,558, notes payables of $2,756, common stock of $22,000, and retained earnings of $14,008. How much long-term debt does the firm have?
Answer:
$18,334
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cash worth = $1,234
Inventory worth = $13,480
Accounts receivable worth = $7,789
Net fixed asset = $42,331
Other assets = $1,822
Accounts payables = $9,558
Notes payables = $2,756
common stock = $22,000
Retained earnings = $14,008
Long term debt :
Total asset - current liability - stockholders equity
Total asset =current asset + net fixed asset + other asset
Current asset = cash worth + inventory worth + accounts receivables
Current asset = $(1234 + 13480 + 7789) = $22503
Total asset = $(22503 + 42331 + 1822) = $66656
Current liabilities = Accounts payables + notes payables
Current liabilities = $(9558 + 2756) = $12314
Stockholders equity = $(22,000 + 14,008) = $36,008
Long term debt :
Total asset - current liability - stockholders equity
$(66656 - 12314 - 36008) = $18,334

Your accountant tells you that if you can continue to earn the current interest rate on your balance of $750 for the next three years, you will have $944.78 in your account. If your accountant is correct, then what is the current interest rate
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
current balance = $750
Period = 3years
Final amount at the end of the third year = $944.78
Rate =?
Using the compound interest formula :
A = P( 1 + r/n)^nt
Where : A= final amount plus interest
P = principal amount
r = interest rate
t = period
n = number of compounding periods per year = 1
A = P( 1 + r)^t
944.78 = 750(1 + r)^3
Divide both side by 750
944.78/750 = (1+r)^3
1.2597 = (1+r)^3
Take the cube root of both sides
1.07999 = 1+r
r = 1.07999 - 1
r = 0.07999
r = (0.07999) * 100%
r = 7.999% = 8%
