Moss County Bank agrees to lend the Sunland Company $605000 on January 1. Sunland Company signs a $605000, 6%, 9-month note. What is the adjusting entry required if Sunland Company prepares financial statements on June 30
Answer:
DR Interest Expense $18,150
CR Interest Payable $18,150
Explanation:
June 30 would mean that 6 months have elapsed since the note was issued. The interest rate is an annual one so will have to be adjusted for 6 months.
The interest expense so far will be;
= 605,000 * 6% * [tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex]
= $18,150
This figure is to be debited to the Interest Expense account to show that it is an expense and credited to the Interest Payable account.

Raggs, Ltd. a clothing firm, determines that in order to sell x suits, the price per suit must be pequals180 minus 0.5 x. It also determines that the total cost of producing x suits is given by Upper C (x )equals5000 plus 0.75 x squared. a) Find the total revenue, Upper R (x ). b) Find the total profit, Upper P (x ). c) How many suits must the company produce and sell in order to maximize profit? d) What is the maximum profit? e) What price per suit must be charged in order to maximize profit?
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) R(x) = x(150 - 0.75x) => 150x - 0.75x²
(b) P(x) = R(x) - C(x) => 150x - 0.75x² - (2000 + 0.75x²)
so, P(x) = 150x - 2000 - 1.5x²
(c) Now, P '(x) = 150 - 3x = 0....at maximum
i.e. when x = 50 suits
(d) P(50) = 150(50) - 2000 - 1.5(50)²
=> 7500 - 2000 - 3750
i.e. £1750
(e) price --> 150 - 0.75(50) => 150 - 37.5
Hence, price per suit is £112.50 in order to maximise profits.

B. 29.2%, 12.5%, 10.0%, respectively. C. 27.0%, 11.0%, 10.5%, respectively. D. 21.5%, 17.5%, 12.0%, respectively.
Answer:
B. 29.2%, 12.5%, 10.0%
Explanation:
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold / Sales
Gross Profit = $1,200 - $850 / $1,200
Gross Profit = $350 / $1,200
Gross Profit = 0.2917
Gross Profit = 29.17%
Operating profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating Expenses / Sales
Operating profit = $1,200 - $850 - $200 / $1,200
Operating profit = $150 / $1,200
Operating profit = 0.125
Operating profit = 12.5%
Net profit margin = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Income Taxes / Sales
Net profit margin= $1,200 - $850 - $200 - $30 / $1,200
Net profit margin $120 / $1,200
Net profit margin= 0.1
Net profit margin= 10%

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Hudson Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2017. HUDSON CO. Contribution Margin Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2017 Sales (11,500 units at $225 each) $ 2,587,500 Variable costs (11,500 units at $180 each) 2,070,000 Contribution margin $ 517,500 Fixed costs 360,000 Pretax income $ 157,500 1. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units and. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
1) Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs.
Break even point in units is calculated using this formula:
Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)
Break-even point in units = 360,000/(225- 180) = 8000 units
Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) is computed as follows:
Break-even point (sales) = Total general fixed cost/C/S ratio.
C/s ratio = (Selling price - variable cost)/Selling price × 100
= (225 - 180)/225 × 100 = 20%
Break-even point (sales) = 360,000/20% = $1,800,000
Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
1) Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
Greenbrier Industrial Products' bonds have a 7.60 percent coupon and pay interest annually. The face value is $1,000 and the current market price is $1,062.50 per bond. The bonds mature in 16 years. What is the yield to maturity
Answer:
6.9%
Explanation:
To find the answer, you have to use the formula to calculate the yield to maturity:
Yield to maturity= (C+(F-P/n))/(F+P/2), where:
C= Coupon payment= $1,000*7.60%= $76
F= Face value= $1,000
P= Price= $1,062.50
n= Years to maturity= 16
Yield to maturity=(76+(1,000-1,062.50/16))/(1,000+1,062.50/2)
Yield to maturity=72,09/1,031.25
Yield to maturity=0.069 → 6.9%
Accoriding to this, the yield to maturity is 6.9%.

Requirement 1. Compute the contribution margin per package and the contribution margin ratio. Begin by identifying the formula to compute the contribution margin per package. Then compute the contribution margin per package. (Enter the amount to the nearest cent.) – = Contribution margin per unit
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $1.5
Unitary variable cost= $0.75
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 1.5 - 0.75
Contribution margin= $0.75
Now, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
contribution margin ratio= 0.75/1.5
contribution margin ratio= 0.5
Sally goes to Honest Harry's used car lot to purchase a car. After test driving the car, she sits down to negotiate the contract. She asks about a warranty and Harry says that all cars that he sells come with a 30 day unconditional warranty on all parts and labor. She signs the contract and the next day the engine blows a rod. When she calls Harry she's told that there is no warranty according to the contract. She reads her contract and it says "as is"
Answer:
Sally can do very little in this case due to the parol evidence rule. In common law, the parol evidence rule limits what type of evidence one party can use in a court in order to support their arguments. In this case, Sally cannot present the evidence of an oral contract because it was previous to the signing of the written contract. This rule doesn't allow certain older evidence to be presented in order to support a change of an existing contract.
I.e. an individual cannot try to change the terms of a contact once they have been signed just because in older contracts certain parts were different.
Health and Wealth Company is financed entirely by common stock that is priced to offer a 12 percent expected return. If the company repurchases 20 percent of the common stock and substitutes an equal value of debt yielding 8 percent, what is the expected return on the common stock after refinancing
Answer: 13%
Explanation:
By substituting 20% of debt for debt yielding 8%, the company now has 20% financing from debt and 80% from equity.
The expected return on common stock after refinancing can be calculated by;
Return after refinancing = Return before refinancing + [tex]\frac{Debt}{Equity}[/tex](return before refinancing - Debt yield)
= 12% + [tex]\frac{0.2}{0.8} (0.12 - 0.08)[/tex]
= 13%

Holding other things constant, a decrease in the inflation rate in the US compared to the Canadian economy will cause the demand for the Canadian dollar to
Answer: To decrease, and the supply for Canadian dollar to increase.
Explanation: Inflation is an increase in the general price levels within an economy over a given period of time, when their is inflation in a given economy it causes the depreciation of the value of the currency of that economy and hence reduced demands for that currency and an increase in the supply for that currency which in this case is the Canadian dollar.
The risk-free rate of return is 3.2 percent and the market risk premium is 6.1 percent. What is the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.19? (round answer to whole number with two decimal points: i.e., use 1.23 percent instead of 0.0123)
Answer:
10.46%
Explanation:
The risk-free rate of return is 3.2%
The market risk premium is 6.1%
The stock beta is 1.19
Therefore, the expected rate of return on the stock can be calculated as follows
Rate of return= Risk-free rate+beta(market Risk premium)
= 3.2% + 1.19×6.1%
= 3.2% + 7.259
= 10.46%
Hence the expected rate of return on the stock is 10.46%
A jewelry firm buys semiprecious stones to make bracelets and rings. The supplier quotes a price of $8.10 per stone for quantities of 600 stones or more, $8.50 per stone for orders of 400 to 599 stones, and $9.00 per stone for lesser quantities. The jewelry firm operates 110 days per year. Usage rate is 28 stones per day, and ordering costs are $48.
a. If carrying costs are $2 per year for each stone, find the order quantity that will minimize total
annual cost.
b. If annual carrying costs are 30 percent of unit cost, what is the optimal order size?
c. If lead time is six working days, at what point should the company reorder?
Answer:
a.385 stones
b.349 stones
c.168 stones
Explanation:
Order quantity that minimizes total annual cost is known as the Economic Order Quantity.
Economic Order Quantity = √(2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
= √(2×28×110×$48) / $2
= 384.5 or 385 stones
Economic Order Quantity = √(2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
= √(2×28×110×$48) / ($8.10 × 30%)
= 348.8 or 349 stones
Re-oder point is the point at which the order should be placed to obtain additional inventories
Reorder Point = Lead Time × Usage
= 6 days × 28 stones
= 168 stones
The rate of return on the common stock of Lancaster Woolens is expected to be 18 percent in a boom economy, 8 percent in a normal economy, and only 2 percent in a recessionary economy. The probabilities of these economic states are 12 percent for a boom and 10 percent for a recession. What is the variance of the returns on this common stock
Answer:
Variance of the return on this common stock is 0.15%
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the variance of the returns on this common stock.
Note that the probability of a normal economy can be obtained as follows:
Probability of normal economy = 100% - Probability of a boom - Probability of a recession = 100% - 12% - 10% = 78%
These probabilities are used in the attached excel file.
Andy views beer and pizza as complements to one another. If the price of pizza decreases, economists would expect Andy's demand for ____________.
Answer:
Andy's demand for beer will increase.
Explanation:
Andy’s demand for beer will increase because it is given that pizza and beer are complements. Therefore, there is an inverse relationship between the price of one complement goods and the number of other complement goods. Here, we can see that price of one good ( say pizza) decreases so the demand for other goods (say beer) will increase because there is an inverse relationship between these commodities.

Process A has fixed costs of $1000 and variable costs of $5 per unit. Process B has fixed costs of $500 and variable costs of $7.50 per unit. What is the crossover point between process A and process B? 50 units 250 units $9,500 $5,000 200 units
Answer:
200 units
Explanation:
The computation of the crossover point between process A and process B is shown below:
Let us assume the cross over point be x
We made a question i.e given below:
Total Cost of A = Total Cost of B
$1,000 + 5x = $500 +7.50x
$1,000 - $500 = 7.50x - 5x
$500 = 2.5x
So, the x is 200 units
Hence, the cross over point is 200 units by applying the above formula so that the correct units could arrive
200 units are the correct option
When we computation of the crossover point between process A and process B is shown below:
ComputationLet us assume the cross over point be x
Total Cost of A = Total Cost of B
Then $1,000 + 5x = $500 +7.50x
Then $1,000 - $500 = 7.50x - 5x
Now $500 = 2.5x
So, the x is 200 units
Hence, the cross over point is 200 units by applying the above formula so that the correct units could arrive.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Credit) $37,000
Uncollectible-Account Expense $63,000
What is the net realizable value of the accounts receivable?
A. $1,137,000
B. $1,063,000
C. $1,100,000
D. $1,163,000
Answer: $1,063,000

As a result of hikers now having trackers, they will be found easily in cases of distress. This will encourage hikers to go deeper into the forest or engage in activity they would not have before because they know that the Forest Service will be able to help them. The new trackers will also encourage more people to start forest hiking as they will view it as safer.
When all these happen, the Forest service will have to increase it's size as well as conduct more operations which will cost money thereby increasing their cost.
