Branson paid $566,700 cash for all of the outstanding common stock of Wolfpack, Inc., on January 1, 2017. On that date, the subsidiary had a book value of $411,000 (common stock of $200,000 and retained earnings of $211,000), although various unrecorded royalty agreements (10-year remaining life) were assessed at a $136,000 fair value. Any remaining excess fair value was considered goodwill. In negotiating the acquisition price, Branson also promised to pay Wolfpack’s former owners an additional $59,000 if Wolfpack’s income exceeded $130,000 total over the first two years after the acquisition. At the acquisition date, Branson estimated the probability-adjusted present value of this contingent consideration at $51,800. On December 31, 2017, based on Wolfpack’s earnings to date, Branson increased the value of the contingency to $59,200.
During the subsequent two years, Wolfpack reported the following amounts for income and dividends:
Net Income Dividends Declared
2017 $78,000 $15,000
2018 88,000 25,000
In keeping with the original acquisition agreement, on December 31, 2018, Branson paid the additional $74,000 performance fee to Wolfpack’s previous owners.
Prepare each of the following:
a. Branson’s entry to record the acquisition of the shares of its Wolfpack subsidiary.
b. Branson’s entries at the end of 2017 and 2018 to adjust its contingent performance obligation for changes in fair value and the December 31, 2018, payment.
c. Prepare consolidation worksheet entries as of December 31, 2018, assuming that Branson has applied the equity method.
d. Prepare consolidation worksheet entries as of December 31, 2018, assuming that Branson has applied the initial value method.

At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 20,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $28,650, consisted of $22,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 115,000 units and transferred 120,000 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $229,600 of materials costs and $540,500 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 15,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the costs per equivalent unit of materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.
a. $2.00;$4.50
b. $1.82;$4.45
c. $2.05;$4.60
d. $2.05;$4.45
e. $2.25; $4.65
Answer:
a. $2.00; $4.50
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of material = 120,000 units + (15,000 units*40%)
Equivalent unit of material = 120,000 units + 6,000 units
Equivalent unit of material = 126,000 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = ($22,400 + $229,600) / 126,000 unit
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $252,000 / 126,000 unit
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2 per unit
Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 120,000 units + (15,000*10%)
Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 120,000 units + 1,500 units
Equivalent unit of conversion cost = 121,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = ($6,250 + $540,500) / 121,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $546,750 / 121,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = 4.50 per unit.
Hi, Sierra,
1. As your CPA, I'm happy to respond to your request for clarification of the tax status of profits from eBay.
2. Or one of the other online sellers such as Etsy, Amazon, and Bonanza.
3. As you are probably already aware, you can use eBay or one of the other sellers to clean out your closets or to run a small business.
4. Tax liabilities should definitely be clarified.
5. Although no clear line separates fun from profit or a hobby from a business.
6. One thing is certain: the IRS taxes all income.
7. A number of factors will help you determine whether your hobby is a business.
8. To use eBay safely, the following questions should be considered:
9. Do you run the operation in a businesslike manner?
10. That is, do you keep records, is your profit and loss tracked, and how about keeping a separate checking account?
11. Do you devote considerable time and effort to your selling?
12. If you spend eight or more hours a day trading on eBay.
13. The IRS would tend to think you are in a business.
14. Some people depend on the income from their eBay activities for their livelihood.
15. Do you?
16. Are you selling items for more than they cost you?
17. If you spend $5 for a garage sale vase and sell it for $50.
18. The IRS would probably consider this a business transaction.
19. All profits are taxable.
20. Even for eBay sellers who are just playing around.
21. If you wish to discuss this further, please call me at 213-456-8901. Justin Corona
Answer:
Question requires that you find five sentence fragments, one dangling modifier, one passive-voice sentence, and one parallelism fault.
Sentence Fragment
A sentence fragment is so because it is either missing a subject, or a verb, and/ or a complete thought. It is therefore an incomplete sentence.
5. Although no clear line separates fun from profit or a hobby from a business.12. If you spend eight or more hours a day trading on eBay.17. If you spend $5 for a garage sale vase and sell it for $50.18. The IRS would probably consider this a business transaction.20. Even for eBay sellers who are just playing around. (not a proper sentence)Dangling Modifier
Attempts to modify an unclear word in the sentence
19. All profits are taxable.It is unclear what profits the sentence alludes to.
Passive-voice sentence
In Passive voice, the subject of the text is the one that is being acted upon.
13. The IRS would tend to think you are in a business.Parallelism Fault
This occurs when the sentence is not grammatically parallel. In other words the sentence does not follow as it is not using the same structure.
3. As you are probably already aware, you can use eBay or one of the other sellers to clean out your closets or to run a small business.Maury and Bev have saved all their lives and they have been able to pay off their mortgage on their home. Bev is getting elderly and frail and Maury needs to put her into a nursing home where they can give her round-the-clock care. Maury intends to finance this arrangement by getting a loan where the lender makes payments to the homeowner each month, based on accumulated equity. What type of loan does Maury want to get?
Answer:
A reverse mortgage
Explanation:
A reverse mortgage is a loan type available to senior citizens above the age of 62. This loan type allows the elderly to convert part of their home equity into cash without selling the house. Once a bank value home, it offers the loan against the home value. The loan amount is dispersed as a lump sum or fixed monthly payments. The elderly do not have to pay back the loan. The bank recover its money upon death or relocation.
Maury should get a reverse mortgage loan. He won't have to repay the loan but will be getting monthly payments to support Bev's care.

Answer:
Cullumber Company
(a) Earnings per share = Net Income / No. of outstanding common shares
= $ 206,900/58,000
$ 3.57
(b) Return on common stockholders’ equity = Net Income/Equity
= $ 206,900/603,400 * 100
= 34.29%
(c) Return on assets = Net Income/Assets * 100
= $206,900/$1,050,800 * 100
= 19.69%
(d) Current ratio = Current Assets/ Current Liabilities
= $387,800/213,400
= 1.82
(e) Accounts receivable turnover = Sales /Average Receivable
= $1,899,240/119,000
= 15.96 times
Average receivable = (126,500 + 111,500)/2 = 119,000
(f) Average collection period = Average Receivable/Sales * 365
= 119,000/1,899,240 * 365
= 22,87 days
(g) Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/average inventory
= 1,067,240/121,950
= 8.75 times
Average Inventory = )127,200 + 116,700 )/2 = 121,950
(h) Days in inventory = 365/8.75
41.71 days
(i) Times interest earned = EBIT/Interest Expense
= $323,300/23,200
= 13.94 times
(j) Asset turnover = Sales/Average Assets
= 1.97 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio = Total Liabilities/Total Assets
= $447,400/$1,050,800 * 100
= 42.58%
(l) Free cash flow
= Operating Cash Minus CAPEX
= $246,000 - $135,000 = $111,000

West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation, with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x 5 the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year
x f(x)
10 .05

Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given the data:
x___ f(x)
10__ 0.05
20__0.10
30__0.10
40__0.20
50__0.35
60__0.20
a. Is this probability distribution valid?
Yes
Σf(x) = (0.05 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.35 + 0.20) = 1
0≤f(x)≤1
b. What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients
X = 40 + x = 50 + x = 60
0.20 + 0.35 + 0.20 = 0.75
c. What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients
x = 10
f(x) = f(10) = 0.05
d)Compute the expected value and variance of x.
Expected value (E(x)) :

= (10*0.05) + (20*0.1) + (30*0.1) + (40*0.2) + (50*0.35) + (60*0.2)
= 43
Σ(x * E(x))² * f(x)
= (10 - 43)^2 * 0.05 + (20 - 43)^2 * 0.1 + (30 - 43)^2 * 0.1 + (40 - 43)^2 * 0.2+ (50 - 43)^2 * 0.35 + (60 - 43)^2 * 0.2

1. Cash basis income statement
A cash basis income statement refers to an income statement that records revenue for which cash has been received and expenses for which cash has been paid for in a particular period. Therefore, cash basis income statement is not compliant with the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The cash basis income statement for Mostert Music Company for March can therefore be prepared as follows:

Pettit Ice Cream Company produces various ice cream products for which demand is highly seasonal. The company sells more ice cream in warmer months and less in colder ones. Last year, the high point in production activity occurred in August when Pettit produced 50,000 gallons of ice cream at a total cost of $82,000. The low point in production activity occurred in February when the company produced 20,000 gallons of ice cream at a total cost of $46,000.
Required:
a. Use the high-low method to estimate the amount of fixed cost per month incurred by Pettit Ice Cream Company
b. Determine the total estimated monthly cost when 40,000 gallons of ice cream are produced.
c. What factors could cause the estimate determined in Requirement b to be inaccurate?
d. Explain how regression analysis could be used to improve accuracy. Your explanation should in- clude a discussion of the R2 statistic as well as the potential impact of multiple regression analysis.
Answer:
a) Fixed costs = $22,000
b) $70,000
c) The high low cost method is generally inaccurate because it only considers the extremes, the highest and lowest costs and activity levels. Generally costs are not linear, but they might follow a certain tendency. The advantages of the high low cost method is that it is fairly accurate when costs are stable, plus it is much simpler to calculate.
d) Assuming that costs follow a certain tendency, regression analysis is much more exact since it analyses the relationship between different data and different variables. When you analyze only 2 variables, a linear regression analysis will serve you. but if you need to analyse more than two variables, then you must use a multiple regression analysis.
The R² statistic basically measures how one variable's variance is affected by other variables. E.g. if R² is 0.75, then 75% of the variance of A will be explained by the variance of B.
Explanation:
variable cost using high low cost method = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity level - lowest activity level) = ($82,000 - $46,000) / (50,000 - 20,000) = $36,000 / 30,000 gallons of ice cream = $1.20 per gallon of ice cream
fixed costs = $82,000 - (50,000 x $1.20) = $22,000
40,000 gallons
$22,000 + (40,000 x $1.20) = $70,000

a. $8,600
b. $6,000
c. $3,900
d. $5,000
Answer:
a. $8,600
Explanation:
The cost of goods manufactured equation is the sum of the total manufacturing costs (i.e all direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead) and the beginning work in process inventory also subtracting the ending goods in process inventory.
The total raw materials was $8600 of which $6000 was debited to work in process and $2600 was debited to manufacturing overhead. The work in process is the cost of direct materials, hence the cost of good manufactured is given as the total raw materials which is $8600
You are a newly hired operations manager for Hospital XYZ. You are required to:
Review the current hiring practices for nurses working in the emergency room department. Investigate recent patient complaints concerning bad bedside manner from nurses in labor and delivery.
Review financial requests for Environmental Services to purchase new buffers to wax floors.
Review Information Technology’s concerns regarding a possible information breach. Review request for implementation of new software in the radiology department.
Determine your approach to these tasks. How would you determine how to prioritize your tasks? Who are the stakeholders in each of these scenarios? Is there a need for project management? If so why?
Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
follows are the tasks, which is not in the priority order and at hand at Hospital XYZ:
HR domain: share the latest recruitment procedures throughout the emergency department of public health.
Operations: nurse staffing methods for function or treatment.
Funding: Review financial requests for both the purchase of new protections on wax surfaces by protection from the environment.
IT: IT reviews complaints regarding a possible breach of information.
IT: Study application in the physician's office for the implementation of new technology.
If valuing such activities, it should remember, that this patient (client) becomes impacted mainly. The clinicians or staff involved in Tasks 1 & 2, because Task 2, the very first priority must be considered, and also some standards must be developed, by each nurse, with remote care issues.
Information from its daily client is provided to control the staff, and a specific training program is intended for both the newly employed and negative feedback staff.
Respondents-Patients, Professions
Task 1, which directly affects the daily quality of service in a hospital, should be the secondary priority, with such a smaller shortage of hospitals due to customer dissatisfaction.
Members – Patients, medical personnel, permanent employees, doctors.
Task 4 When information violation is alleged, the third priority should to the loss of important patient data to certain other entities that may use for financial gains.
Participants – IT department, patients.
Task 3 will help its hospital cleaner if funds are required to purchase new buffers. Especially in comparison with all the above 3 tasks, it was taken as the fourth priority.
It was important, and that does not affect mostly the client nor would it impact the level of service as large as the three tasks above.
Advisor position-representatives of finance, environment protection, clean folk (sweepers). advisor position
Task 5 Its latest radiology software review application is now to be approved as the last. It indicates why old software is already in place since it is a new program. Consequently, nothing's ever going to stoop or the task in other projects is no slowdowns. It can be achieved as the last goal.
Investors involved-officials of the IT agency, diagnostic agents.
The process improvement throughout the solution of the problems in the hospitals by providing them the necessary importance to identify the priorities of different tasks.
Let be the damage incurred (in $) in a certain type of accident during a given year. Possible values are , , , and , with probabilities , , , and , respectively. A particular company offers a deductible policy. If the company wishes its expected profit to be , what premium amount should it charge?
Full question attached
Answer and Explanation:
Given probability of damages 0, 1000, 5000, 10000 = 0.8, 0.1, 0.08, 0.02 respectively
Also given that company offers a $500 deductible policy
To find premium amount charged
Equation could be given by
A=X+100 where A is premium charged, X is damage incurred
Substituting 0
A=0+100=100
Substituting 1000
A=1000-500+100=600
Substituting 5000
A=5000-500+100=4600
Substituting 10000
A=10000-500+100=9600
premium amount to be charged
=0.8*100+0.1*600+0.08*4600+0.02*9600 = $700

Henry Ford famously mass-produced cars at the beginning of the twentieth century, starting Ford Motor Company. He made millions because mass production made cars cheap to make, and he passed some of the savings to the consumer in the form of a low price. Cars became a common sight in the United States thereafter. Keeping total revenue and its relationship with price in mind, do you expect the demand for cars to be elastic or inelastic given the story of Henry Ford?
Answer:
Elastic
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of a good
Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
demand is elastic if a small change in price leads to a greater change in quantity demanded
Because there are a lot of cars available, if the price of cars are increased, consumers can easily shift to the consumption of cheaper cars
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price leads to little or no change in quantity demanded

Carmen and Marc form Apple Corporation. Carmen transfers land that is Sec. 1231 property, with an adjusted basis of $18,000 and an FMV of $20,000 in exchange for onehalf of the Apple Corporation stock. Marc transfers equipment that originally costs $28,000 on which he has taken $5,000 in depreciation deductions. The equipment has an FMV of $25,000 and he receives onehalf of the stock and a $5,000 shortterm note. The transaction meets the requirements of Sec. 351. Which statement below is correct?
a. Carmen recognizes a $2,000 Sec. 1231 gain and Marc recognizes $5,000 as ordinary income.
b. Carmen recognizes no gain and Marc recognizes $2,000 as ordinary income.
c. There is no recognized gain or loss.
d. Carmen recognizes a $2,000 Sec. 1231 gain and Marc recognizes a $5,000 Sec. 1231 gain.
Answer:
A. Carmen recognizes a $2,000 Sec. 1231 gain and Marc recognizes $5,000 as ordinary income.
Explanation:
Carmen transferred land (Sec. 1231 property) that has adjusted basis $18,000 with a FMV of $20,000. This means there is a gain to be recognized on the transfer of $2,000.
In case of Marc, there is no gain or loss on the transfer of equipment. However, the value of $5,000 short term note received will be recognized as ordinary income.
A. Keeping in view the above provided information, this statement is correct.
B. The transfer does result in a gain for Carmen, therefore, this statement is incorrect.
C. As there is gain for one individual and odinary income to be recoginzed for the other, therefore, this statement is also incorrect.
D. Marc has not transferred property Sec. 1231 instead the transfer was of machinery. Hence, this statement is also incorrect.

A customer, age 45, invests $100,000 in a variable annuity contract. It imposes an 8% charge if the contract is surrendered within the 1st 8 years; and a 4% charge if the contract is surrendered in years 9 and 10. Thereafter, there is no surrender charge. The contract has a Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) that promises to annuitize the account at a value of $180,000 starting at age 60. After holding the contract for 5 years, the separate account has a net asset value of $120,000. The insurance company makes an offer to the client to buy back the contract at $121,000 with no surrender charges imposed. Assuming that the client's investment objectives have not changed, the best advice to the client is to:_______.
Answer:
the client should wait 10 more years until the contract is worth $180,000 since he will earn a slightly higher interest rate
Explanation:
we must determine the effective interest earned by the client if he accepts the company's proposal:
future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ
121,000 = 100,000 x (1 + r)⁵
(1 + r)⁵ = 121,000 / 100,000 = 1.21
⁵√(1 + r)⁵ = ⁵√1.21
1 + r = 1.0389
r = 0.0389 = 3.89%
if the client waits 10 more years until he is able to annuitize the account, he should earn:
180,000 = 100,000 x (1 + r)¹⁵
(1 + r)¹⁵ = 180,000 / 100,000 = 1.80
¹⁵√(1 + r)¹⁵ = ¹⁵√1.80
1 + r = 1.03996
r = 0.03996 = 4%
SNC is considering evaluating the payment profile of its customer base, especially focusing on customers who are chronically delinquent in paying invoices. Super Sports Centers-a national, mall-based, upscale fitness network and a key SNC customer (accounting for 20% of SNC's overall sales)-routinely takes almost 200 days to pay its invoices. That far exceeds the 90-day average collection period for SNC's other customers. If SNC drops Super Sports Centers from its customer base, sales will decrease by $2 million. However, the cash-flow measure of days sales outstanding (DSO) will quickly improve. What would you like to do about this opportunity?

Answer:
I would decline the proposal to drop Super Sports Centers.
Explanation:
In order to be able to accept or decline dropping SSC as a customer we must first calculate the cost of being paid after 200 days.
If you analyze it from an accounting point of view, dropping SSC will decrease your operating profits by $130,000 and that might result in your firm not being able to make a profit anymore.
In my opinion, the cost analysis is not complete because in order to calculate EBIT your are simply subtracting COGS from revenue (which is correct but incomplete). When you make important business decisions, you must determine which is the least of evils. Is reducing your DSO so important that you will risk going bankrupt? How much does financing SSC costs? Since SCC takes so long to pay, you should probably record the present value of the sale (similar to a non-interest bearing note).
You must also remember that if your total sales decrease by 20%, your COGS will increase since fixed costs per unit will increase. Probably the best way to understand this is to analyze the situation like a special order sale. SNC should probably calculate their manufacturing (or retailing) costs without SSC and that way they will be able to determine the real advantage or disadvantage of having SSC as a client.

A+T Williamson Company is making adjusting entries for the year ended December 31 of the current year. In developing information for the adjusting entries, the accountant learned the following:______. A. A two-year insurance premium of $6,000 was paid on October 1 of the current year for coverage beginning on that date. The bookkeeper debited the full amount to Prepaid Insurance on October 1. B. At December 31 of the current year, the following data relating to Shipping Supplies were obtained from the records and supporting documents.Shipping supplies on hand, January 1 of the current year $17,500
Purchases of shipping supplies during the current year 62,500
Shipping supplies on hand, counted on December 31 of the current year 13,000
1. What amount should be reported on the current year's income statement for Insurance Expense? For Shipping Supplies Expense?
2. What amount should be reported on the current year's balance sheet for Prepaid Insurance? For Shipping Supplies?
Answer:
The following amounts shall be reported on 31 December of the current year.
1.
Insurance expense = $750
Shipping Supplies expense = $67000
2.
Prepaid Insurance = $5250
Shipping Supplies = $13000
Explanation:
1.
The insurance paid on October 1 of $6000 was for two years or 24 months. This means that the premium paid per month was of = 6000 / 24 = $250
On 31 December of the current year, the insurance for 3 months have been used and the insurance expense should be recorded for 3 months ending 31 December of $750.
Insurance expense till 31 December = $250 * 3 = $750
The shipping supplies expense can be calculated based on the consumption of shipping supplies in the current year. The consumption can be calculated as follows,
Consumption = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
Consumption = 17500 + 62500 - 13000
Consumption = $67000
So, shipping supplies expense for the current year is $67000
2.
Out of the prepaid insurance of $6000, 3 months of insurance worth $750 has been expensed out till 31 December. Thus the remaining balance in the prepaid insurance account will be = 6000 - 750 = $5250
The closing balance of shipping supplies has been provided on 31 December and this balance of $13000 will be reported on balance sheet as shipping supplies.
Suppose that France and Sweden both produce jeans and olives. France’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 4 pairs of jeans, while Sweden’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 10 pairs of jeans. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of olives, and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. Suppose that France and Sweden consider trading olives and jeans with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of jeans for each crate of olives it exports to Sweden. Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of olives for each pair of jeans it exports to France. Based on your answers to the previous question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of jeans) would allow both Sweden and France to gain from trade? a. 1 pair of jeans per crate of olives b. 2 pairs of jeans per crate of olives c. 16 pairs of jeans per crate of olives d. 7 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
Answer:
France - Comparative Advantage in Olives, Sweden - Comparative Advantage in Jeans. France gains in trade by > 4 jeans/ olive, Sweden gains in trade by > 1/10 olive/jeans. d) 7 pair jeans per crate olives.
Explanation:
France opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 4 pairs of jeans, while Sweden’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 10 pairs of jeans.
As France opportunity cost of olive (in terms of jeans' pair sacrifised) is lesser than Sweden, it has comparative advantage in olives. Similarly, Sweden opportunity cost of jeans (in terms of olives sacrifised) is lesser ie 1/10, than France opportunity cost ie 1/4. So, Sweden has opportunity cost in Jeans.
France can gain in trade if it gets more than 4 pair jeans per olive crate. Sweden can gain in trade if it gets more than 1/10 olive crate per jeans pair.
'7 pairs of jeans per crate of olives' satisfies gainful trade conditions for both France & Sweden as : 7 (ie > 4) Jeans per olive, 1/7 (ie > 1/10) olive per jeans.
