Journalizing issuance of stock—at par and at a premium
Colorado Corporation has two classes of stock: common, $3 par value; and preferred $30 par value.
Requirements
Journalize Colorado’s issuance of 4,500 shares of common stock for $6 per share.
Journalize Colorado’s issuance of 4,500 shares of preferred stock for a total of $135,000.
Answer:
a.
Cash 27000 Dr
Common Stock 13500 Cr
Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock 13500 Cr
b.
Cash 135000 Dr
Preferred Stock 135000 Cr
Explanation:
a.
When we issue stock at premium, we always record the amount received from such issuance of stock at full. So, the cash account will be debited for 4500 * 6 = 27000
However, we record the common stock issued at par value and the remaining is credited under the reserve account which is Paid in capital in excess of par.
Thus the common stock will be credited by its par value of 4500 * 3 = 13500 and the remaining 4500 * 3 will be credited to the Paid in Capital account.
b.
The par value of the preferred stock is 4500 * 30 = 135000
Thus the preferred stock is issued at par and we simply debit the cash received from the issue and credit the preferred stock.

Answer:
Product liability, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The liability of a manufacturer or seller for handing over a defective commodity into the hands of the consumers is known as the product liability. The responsibility for handing over the defective product that causes injuries lies with the retailers of the product who are a part of the distribution chain. The law requires that the good sold to the consumer meets the ordinary expectations of the consumer. If the consumer's ordinary expectations aren't met due to an unexpected defect or danger, the consumer may ask for monetary damages.
You invest a single amount of $14,800 for 7 years at 15 percent. At the end of 7 years you take the proceeds and invest them for 14 years at 17 percent. How much will you have after 21 years
Answer:
Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11
Explanation:
The value of an amount invested at a certain rate of return for certain number of years where interest compounded annually is known as the future value.
The future value of an investment can be determined using the future value formula. This formula is stated below:
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
FV - Future Value , PV- Present Value, r-rate of return, n- number of years
For the first round of investment 15% for 7 years, future value would be:
FV = 14,800 × (1.15)^(7) = 39,368.29
Second round of investing 17% for 14 year, future value would be
FV = 39,368.29 × (1.17)^(14)= 354,608.11
Future Value =$354,608.11
Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11
Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $10,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year). a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires? Use Exhibit 1-A. (Round FV factor to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
the future value of Ruby's IRA = $10,000 x 21.725 (FV factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $217,250
b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal?
she needs to accumulate $875,000 - $217,250 = $657,750 during the next 40 years
the annual contribution = FV / FV annuity factor = $657,750 / 259.057 (FV annuity factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $2,539.02 per year
A 25-year, $1,000 par value bond has an 8.5% annual payment coupon. The bond currently sells for $925. If the yield to maturity remains at its current rate, what will the price be 5 years from now
Answer:
$ 930.20
Explanation:
We need to first of all determine the yield to maturity using excel rate function:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of annual coupons i.e 25
pmt is the annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*8.5%=$85
pv is the current market price of $925
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(25,85,-925,1000)=9.28%
In 5 years time,the bond would have 20 years remaining to maturity, as a result, only 20 years coupon would be left to be paid.
The formula for bond price is excel pv function given below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
=-pv(9.28% ,20,85,1000)=$ 930.20

Speedy Auto Repairs uses a job-order costing system. The company’s direct materials consist of replacement parts installed in customer vehicles, and its direct labor consists of the mechanics’ hourly wages. Speedy’s overhead costs include various items, such as the shop manager’s salary, depreciation of equipment, utilities, insurance, and magazine subscriptions and refreshments for the waiting room.
The company applies all of its overhead costs to jobs based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it made the following estimates:
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 20,000
Fixed overhead cost $ 350,000
Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 1.00
Required:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Mr. Wilkes brought in his vehicle to replace his brakes, spark plugs, and tires. The following information was available with respect to his job:
Direct materials $ 590
Direct labor cost $ 109
Direct labor-hours used 6
Compute Mr. Wilkes’ total job cost.
3. If Speedy establishes its selling prices using a markup percentage of 40% of its total job cost, then how much would it have charged Mr. Wilkes?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 20,000
Fixed overhead cost $ 350,000
Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 1.00
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (350,000/20,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18.5 per direct labor hour
Job:
Direct materials $ 590
Direct labor cost $ 109
Direct labor-hours used 6
Total cost= 590 + 109 + 6*18.5
Total cost= $810
Finally, the selling price:
Selling price= 810*1.4= $1,134
Suppose that the government immediately pursues an _____________ policy by increasing government purchases in response to the short-run economic impact of the higher oil prices.
Answer:
The answer to the blank space is: expansionary fiscal policy
Explanation:
Expansionary fiscal policy consists in either the increase of government purchases (fiscal spending), or the reduction of taxes, or both.
Expansionary fiscal policy is recommended when the economy is experiencing a downturn, and can be helpful in reducing the damage that the economic slump generates.
In the case of the question, higher oil prices for an importing country will result in less economic activity because this important fuel becomes more expensive, both for manufacturing, agriculture and services. For this reason, the government responds by increasing spending with the goal of reactivating the economy as soon as possible, and reducing the damange that was already done.
What is the present worth of an equal quarterly payment series of $2,000 for six years, if the interest rate is 8% per year, compounded quarterly?
Answer:
PV= $37,827.85
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cf= $2,000 quarterly
Number of periods= 4*6= 24
i= 0.08/4= 0.02
To calculate the present worth, first, we need to determine the future value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {2,000*[(1.02^24) - 1]} / 0.02
FV= $60,843.72
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 60,843.72/(1.02^24)
PV= $37,827.85

1. Do you think that punishments deter crime? Why or why not? Do you think there is a better way to reduce crime than punishment?
Explanation:
In my honest opinion i don not think punishment deter crime, but it does to a great extent reduce the rate of crime, if actually punishment deter crime, then there will not be offenders anymore.
Another possible way to reduce crime than punishment is to place a fine for offender to pay and also place offenders on community service, in this way offenders get to move freely in the society while they get to pay a huge sum for the offence they have committed
Answer:
I really believe that punishments reduce crime, if someone has done something wrong they have to be punished because, if not, how are they going to know that what they have done is wrong? So, in this way, some criminals stop committing crimes because they see that what they have done is not good and has consequences.
Punishment is known to be a bad stimulus to reduce crime; instead, education has been much more effective, because in this way criminals learn what they can do to improve their lives.
Explanation:
The bond has a coupon rate of 6.23 percent, it makes semiannual payments, and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment. A clean price of $989 and the par value is $1,000. What is the invoice price?
Answer:
Invoice price = $999.38
Explanation:
DATA
coupon rate = 6.23%
clean price = $989
par value = $1,000
invoice price = ?
Solution
As mentioned above the interest is paid semi-annually and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment it means that the last coupon payment was made 2 months ago therefore the accrued interest will be paid for 2 months.
Working
6 months coupon payment = $1000 x 6.23% x 6/12
6 months coupon payment = $31.15
Accrued interest for 2 months = $31.15 x 2/6
Accrued interest for 2 months = $10.38
Invoice price = Clean price + Accrued interest
Invoice price = $989 + $10.38
Invoice price = $999.38
Janice and Thom form Level Corporation. Janice transfers equipment (worth $60,000, basis of $40,000) for 50% of the stock in Level. Thom transfers inventory (worth $20,000, adjusted basis of $15,000) and provides services worth $40,000 for 50% of the stock.
Because this transaction_______(meet or not) the control of the corporation requirement, Janice has income of $_______and Thom has income of $______.
Answer:
Because this transaction MEET the control of the corporation requirement, Janice has income of $0 and Thom has income of $
Explanation:
Based on the information we were told that Thom provide service that is worth $40,000 which means that the amount of $40,000 is Thom income but we were not told that Janice has an income, which means that Janice will have an income of $0.
Hence, Because this transaction MEET the control of the corporation requirement, Janice has income of $0 and Thom has income of $
40,000.
A company has net working capital of $2,204, current assets of $6,475, equity of $22,215, and long-term debt of $10,535. What is the company's net fixed assets?
Answer:
Net fixed assets is $30546.
Explanation:
Given the net working capital = $2204
The current assets of the company = $6475
The equity of the company = $22215
Long term debt of the company = $10535
Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
2204 = 6475 – current liabilities
Current liabilities = 6475 – 2204 = 4271
Total assets = Current Liabilities + Long term Debt + Total Equity
= 4271 + 10535 + 22215
= $37021
Total Liabilities and Stockholders Equity = Total Assets
Total assets = $37021
Total Assets = Current Assets + Net Fixed Assets
37021 = 6475 + net fixed assets
Net fixed assets = 37021 – 6475 = $30546

Polly Smith, a supervisor at Kroger's, was recently evaluated by her subordinates. Their responses indicated that Polly uses Theory X assumptions when dealing with employees. For example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they:_______.
a. naturally like work.
b. will work toward goals they are committed to.
c. have little ambition.
d. have the potential to accomplish the organization's goals.
e. seek out and accept responsibility.
Answer:
c. have little ambition.
Explanation:
Theory X is a theory that refers to people's behavior at work and suggests that managers tend to think that people are not motivated and don't like to work, avoid responsibility, don't have ambition and because of that, they have to be rewarded or punished to complete their job. According to that, the answer is that for example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they have little ambition because theory X says that managers have a negative opinion of people.
The other options are not right because they all refer to theory Y in which managers tend to have a positive view of their workers and think that they like their work, are motivated and are willing to take responsibility.
A June sales forecast projects that 5,000 units are going to be sold at a price of $11.00 per unit. The desired ending inventory of units is 15% higher than the beginning inventory of 600 units. Merchandise purchases for June are projected to include how many units
Answer:
Purchases= 5,090 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A June sales forecast projects that 5,000 units are going to be sold.
The desired ending inventory of units is 15% higher than the beginning inventory of 600 units.
To calculate the merchandise purchase, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

In May direct labor was 35% of conversion cost. If the manufacturing overhead for the month was $116,350 and the direct materials cost was $20,200, the direct labor cost was:
Answer:
Direct labor= $62,650
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In May direct labor was 35% of conversion cost.
The manufacturing overhead for the month was $116,350.
The conversion costs are the sum of the direct labor and the manufacturing overhead:
Overhead= 65%= 116,350
Direct labor= 35%= ?
First, we need to determine the total amount of conversion costs:
Conversion costs= 116,350/0.65= 179,000
Now, the direct labor cost:
Direct labor= 179,000*0.35
Direct labor= $62,650

You have just made your first $5,000 contribution to your individual retirement account. Assume you earn an annual return of 10.65 percent and make no additional contributions.
Required:
a. What will your account be worth when you retire in 42 years?
b. What if you wait 10 years before contributing?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $5,000
i= 10.65%
To determine future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV(1+i)^n
For 42 years:
FV= 5,000*(1.1065^42)
FV= $350,695
Now, for 32 years:
FV= 5,000*(1.1065^32)
FV= $127,472.17
A real estate broker agrees to manage a property for its owner, but only on the condition that when the owner decides to sell, he must list the property with the broker. This would be a violation of the:

Explanation:
In this specific scenario, the real estate broker would be in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. This is a federal statute that prohibits activities that restrict interstate commerce and competition in the marketplace. Therefore, by telling the owner that he must list the property with his broker, the agent is preventing the other competitors from having a fair shot at obtaining the listing, making this a violation.

c. The company's contribution margin ratio is 40%.
d. Responses A, B, and C are all correct.
Answer:
c. The company's contribution margin ratio is 40%.
Explanation:
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin / revenue
contribution margin = total revenue - total variable cost
$100 - $60 = $40
$40 / $100 = 0.4
Breakeven pont = fixed cost / price - variable cost
$12,000 / $100 - $60 = 300
fixed cost per unit decreases as sales increases and decreases as sales decreases

Earned Income Tax credit (EITC) is a refundable tax that is returned to small to medium income earners. It can either reduce your tax of you will get a refund.
Sole proprietors often use their personal vehicles for business purposes. The expense for this is tax deductible. Deduction can be based on true cost of expenses like gasoline bought, or by standard mileage rate.
Vehicle use for personal purposes is not tax deductible.
In this scenario Jack has no records of his vehicle use for business and personal running. There is a need to seperate his use of the vehicle for business purposes.
Every effort should be made to reconstruct Jack's vehicle expenses. If the records cannot be reconstructed then Casey should not claim the EITC this year.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on debt securities classified as available-for-sale would have the following effects on accumulated other comprehensive income: Gains Losses a. Increase Increase b. Decrease Decrease c. Decrease Increase d. Increase Decrease
Answer: d. Increase Decrease
Explanation:
Available - For - Sale securities are accounted for in the Equity section of the balance sheet under Other Comprehensive income (OCI). As the gains cannot be realised until the security is sold, it is accounted for here to show an increase or a decrease in value. When the security gains in value over what it cost, this will increase OCI and when it losses value below what it cost, this will reduce the OCI.
