Russell Co. received a $680 utility bill for the current month's electricity. It is not due until the end of the next month which is when they intend to pay it. Which of the following general journal entries will Russell Co. make to record the receipt of the bill?
a. Utilities Expense 400
Accounts Payable 400
b. Accounts Payable 400
Utilities Expense 400
c. No journal entry is required.
d. Cash 400
Utilities Expense 400
e. Utilities Expense 400
Accounts Receivable 400
The correct options are :
a. Utilities Expense 680
Accounts Payable 680
b. Accounts Payable 680
Utilities Expense 680
c. No journal entry is required.
d. Cash 680
Utilities Expense 680
e. Utilities Expense 680
Accounts Receivable 680
Answer:
a. Debit Utilities Expense $680
Credit Accounts Payable $680
Explanation:
Russel Co has received a utility bill for the current month but they intend to pay next month.
Since the expense is for this month it must be recognised now. So there will be a debit to the Utilities Expense account for $680.
The payment is not being made now but in the next month. This is an amount the business owes so it will be recorded as a credit to Accounts Payable of $680
Accounts payable is used to record monies that the business owes its creditors. Payments are due at a future date.
Answer:
Debit Utilities Expense 680
Credit Accounts Payable 680
Explanation:
Russell Co. Journal entry to record the receipt of the bill will be:
Debit Utilities Expense 680
Credit Accounts Payable 680
Since Russell Co. received a $680 utility bill which is not yet due until the end of the next month which means we have to Debit Utilities Expense with 680 which is the amount not yet due and Credit Accounts Payable with the same amount .

Answer:
1. Huprey can resonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1,280,000, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.
Record a liability.2. It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable.
Disclose in notes.3. Huprey is being sued for damages of $2,400,000. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.
Have no disclosure.Explanation:
Contingent liabilities must be recorded only when it is probable that the liability will happen and you can estimate the associated costs.
When contingent liabilities are only reasonably possible or you cannot estimate the amount, they must be included in the footnotes of the financial statements.
When contingent liabilities are not reasonably possible, nothing needs to be disclosed.
Many times, clients will shift new people into the project who have no experience with it as they move their key people to new challenges. This issue is: An emotional one for the project team. An emotional one for the clients. One that is external and intellectual. One that is internal and intellectual.
Answer:
Many times, clients will shift new people into the project who have no experience with it as they move their key people to new challenges. This issue is: One that is external and intellectual.
Explanation:
External issues do not affect an entity obviously. The clients shifting new people into projects and moving their key people to new challenges know why they must be doing so. It may be to encourage organizational learning. It may be because the key people have been promoted and need to move to higher positions.
Most importantly, it is the clients as entities that we should be concerned and deal with. Clients like other organizational entities have systems, processes, and policies that they work with to produce results. Their internal management should remain internal and not be externalized by overtly and overzealous outsiders.

Answer:
Dunne Co.1. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the first-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:
a) Inventory, June 30 = $32,864 (26 x $1,264)
b) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory = $310,776 ($343,640 - $32,864)
2. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the last-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:
a) Inventory, June 30 = $31,240
Beginning Inventory 25 units at $1,200 = $30,000
Purchase on April 8, 1 unit at $1,240 1,240
Total Ending Inventory $31,240
b)Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory
= $311,400 ($343,640 - $32,240)
3. Determination of the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the weighted average cost method and the periodic inventory system. Note: Round the weighted average unit cost to the nearest dollar and final answers to the nearest dollar:
a) Inventory, June 30 = $32,500 (26 x $1,250)

b) Goods Available 275 $343,640
Cost of goods sold 249 See calculations
Sales 249 $525,250
Ending Inventory 26 See Calculations
c) Average cost of goods = Cost of goods available for sale/Quantity of goods available for sale = $343,640/275 = $1,249.60
d) Under the periodic inventory system:
1) FIFO assumes that the goods bought first are sold first.
2) LIFO assumes that the goods bought last are sold first
3) Weighted Average takes for granted that the cost of goods available for sale and inventory can be determined with the weighted average.
Using the period inventory system, it is when physical count is taken of inventory that one can estimate its value. Unlike the perpetual inventory system, the periodic inventory system waits till a financial period ends to value stock. The results for ending inventory under the weighted average method, using the perpetual inventory system differs from the results under the same method, using the periodic inventory system.
Rafael has decided to retire once he has $1,000,000 in his retirement account. At the end of each year, he will contribute $7,000 to the account, which is expected to provide an annual return of 6.2%. How many years will it take until he can retire
Answer:
38 years
Explanation:
in order to determine the amount of years that it will take Rafael to retire, we can use the future value annuity formula:
future value = payment x annuity factor
we know:
future value = $1,000,000payment = $7,000annuity factor = $1,000,000 / $7,000 = 142.8571
the formula to calculate an annuity factor = [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r
142.8571 = [(1 + 0.062)ⁿ - 1] / 0.062
8.8571 = (1.062)ⁿ - 1
9.8571 = (1.062)ⁿ
using a scientific calculator, we can determine the value of n = 38.0389491 years ≈ 38 years
Vargas Company uses the perpetual inventory method. Vargas purchased 800 units of inventory that cost $9.00 each. At a later date the company purchased an additional 1,200 units of inventory that cost $10.00 each. Vargas sold 900 units of inventory for $13.00. If Vargas uses a FIFO cost flow method, the amount of cost of goods sold appearing on the income statement will be:
Answer:
$8200
Explanation:
FIFO means first in first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
The cost of the 900 units sold, would be:
800 x 9 = $7200
100 × $10 = $1000
Total = $8200

Determine the total equivalent units for direct materials, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. Assume that all direct materials are placed in the process at the beginning of production.
Answer:
37,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the total equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Transferred to finished goods during the month of July + Ending work in process during the month of July - Inventory in process, July 1
= 37,500 units + 3,500 units - 4,000 units
= 41,000 units - 4,000 units
= 37,000 units
We simply applied the above formula so that the total equivalent units for direct materials could come
Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $195 and $150, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 123,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $40 $15
Direct labor 34 28
Variable manufacturing overhead 22 20
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 30 33
Variable selling expenses 27 23
Common fixed expenses 30 25
Total cost per unit $183 $144
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?
2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?
3) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?
4) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials?

total cost per unit $183 $144
1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?
Alpha Beta
contribution margin $72 $64
contribution margin per pound $9 $21.33
2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?
Alpha Beta
contribution margin $72 $64
contribution margin per pound $9 $21.33
production (in units) 2,500 75,000
profits $30,000 $450,000
total profits $480,000
3) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta.

If it wants to increase the production of Alpha, it could pay as much as ($195 - $183) / 8 = $1.50 extra per pound if it wants to maximize profits. Maximum price = $6.50 per pound. At this point, marginal revenue = price.
Your uncle is about to retire, and he wants to buy an annuity that will provide him with $75,000 of income a year for 20 years, with the first payment coming immediately. The going rate on such annuities is 5.25%. How much would it cost him to buy the annuity today
Answer:
The annuity will cost him $963,212.95.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $75,000
Interest rate= 0.0525
n= 20
First, we need to calculate the final value. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}
A= annual cash flow
FV= {75,000*[(1.0525^20) - 1]/0.0525} + {[75,000*(1.0525^20)] - 75,000}
FV= 2,546,491.88 + 133,690.82= $2,680,182.70
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 2,680,182.70/(1.0525^20)
PV= $963,212.95
Sunland Company applies overhead on the basis of 200% of direct labor cost. Job No. 501 is charged with $320000 of direct materials costs and $410000 of manufacturing overhead. The total manufacturing costs for Job No. 501 is $1140000. $1050000. $935000. $730000.
Answer:
$935,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Sunland company total manufacturing costs for Job No. 501
Using this formula
Total Manufacturing cost =(Manufacturing Overhead/Percentage of Overhead basis)+Direct material +Manufacturing overhead

The BRIE model for entrepreneurship refers to:
Boundary: creating a physical place for your business and creating a mental place for your business inside your customers' mindsResources: all the physical resources that your business possesses Intention: how determined you are in making your business succeed Exchange: actually make your business generate revenue and business transactionsO.K. Company uses a job order cost accounting system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. What is O.K. Company's overhead application rate
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours for $10.00 per hour.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,000,000/ (50,000*10)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar
Zaid's Tent Company has total fixed costs of $300,000 per year. The firm's average variable cost is $65 for 10,000 tents. At that level of output, the firm's average total costs equal Group of answer choices $65 $75 $85 $95
Answer:
$95
Explanation:
average variable cost per unit = $65
average fixed cost per unit = $300,000 / 10,000 = $30
average total cost per unit = $95
Fixed costs do not vary if the production output changes, while variable costs move in the same direction as the production output, e.g. if output increases, variable costs increase as well.
Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Sales $668,600
Cost 431,300
Depreciation 103,700
EBIT
Taxes (24%)
Net Income
a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Answer:
a. $205,236
b. $24,888
Explanation:
a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-
EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation
= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700
= $133,600
Net income = EBIT - Taxes
= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)
= $133,600 - $32,064
= $101,536
Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700
= $205,236
b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-
Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax
= $103,700 × 24%
= $24,888

When an amount is incurred but is deferred to another period for payment, a liability is recognized.
A liability is a present legal obligation arising from a past event, the settlement of which will result in outflow of economic benefits (Cash) from the entity.
Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors. Determine the cost per case for each of the four flavors. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer and Explanation:
The cost per case for each of the four flavors are shown below:
Particulars Orange Cola Lemon Lime Root Beer
Total Cost Transferred
to finished goods (a) $19,125 $391,800 $324,000 $36,000
No. of Cases (b) 2,500 60,000 50,000 4,000
Cost Per Case
(a ÷ b) $7.65 $6.53 $6.48 $9
By dividing the total cost from the number of cases we can get the cost per case for each of the four flavors
Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction
Answer:
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Explanation:
Note:
The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 10 and Y = 24 units
U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]
U(10 ,24) = 98.4
U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 12 Find Y
99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
Y = 21.97
Y = 22 units (Approx)

Reflexivity simply means when individuals examine their own judgements, beliefs, and practices during a project or a research process and how their judgements, practices or beliefs may have influenced or impacted the research.
From the question, we are told that a year ago, the IT team earned corporate-wide recognition for its performance but recently, it has begun to experience some declines in its performance which has led to them missing the last three project deadlines and having experienced budget overruns.
To turn around the team's performance, the team lead is encouraging the team to show reflexivity. He wants them to look at what they've been doing earlier and what they're doing presently and make necessary adjustments regarding their judgements for the goals of the organization to be achieved.

Explanation:
The dividends paid are not considered an expense.
We consider revenues and expense using the accrual basis rather than cash basis so we also recognize accrued expense (utilities ) and accrued revenues (sales which weren't paid right away)
For the Balance sheet the equipment is considered long.temr asset as their usefil life exceed a year.
The note payable while it is different from account payable is also a current liaiblity as it is due within the one-uyear window.
Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 2.10 ounces $15.00 per ounce $31.50
Direct labor 0.80 hours $15.00 per hour 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.80 hours $3.50 per hour 2.80
Total standard cost per unit $46.30
During November, the following activity was recorded, relative to production of Fludex:
a. Materials purchased, 9,420 ounces at a cost of $49,926.
b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 1,600 ounces of material remained in ending inventory.
c. The company employs 40 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they worked an average of 61.50 hours at an average rate of $12.30 per hour.
d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $5,658.
e. During November, 4,600 good units of Fludex were produced.
The company's management is anxious to determine the efficiency of the Fludex production activities.
Required:
1. For direct materials used in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
2. For direct labor employed in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
Answer:
1)
direct materials price variance = actual quantity x (actual price - standard price)
direct materials price variance = 7,820 x ($5.30 - $15) = 7,820 x (-$9.70) = -$75,854 favorable
direct materials usage variance = standard price x (actual usage - standard usage)
direct materials usage variance = $15 x (7,820 - 9,660) = -$27,600 favorable
2)
direct labor price variance = actual hours x (actual rate - standard rate)
direct labor price variance = 2,460 x ($12.30 - $15) = 2,460 x (-$2.70) = -$6,642 favorable
direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = standard rate x (actual hours - standard hours)
direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = $15 x (2,460 - 3,680) = $15 x (-1,220) = -$18,300 favorable
The required return on the stock of Moe's Pizza is 10.8 percent and aftertax required return on the company's debt is 3.40 percent. The company's market value capital structure consists of 69 percent equity. The company is considering a new project that is less risky than current operations and it feels the risk adjustment factor is minus 1.9 percent. The tax rate is 39 percent. What is the required return for the new project? rev: 12_20_2018_QC_CS-152115 Multiple Choice 10.41% 6.19% 8.51% 9.99% 6.61%
Answer:
The required return for the new project is 6.87%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the required return for the new project we would have to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted by risk adjustment factor .
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]
After -tax Cost of Debt = 3.40%
Cost of Equity = 10.80%
Weight of Debt = 0.39
Weight of Equity = 0.69
Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]
= [3.40% x 0.39] + [10.80% x 0.69]
= 1.32% + 7.45%
= 8.77%
The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor
= 8.77% - 1.90%
= 6.87%
The required return for the new project is 6.87%
A team is working on a cutting-edge technology, and does not have a lot of familiarity with the technical environment. As a result, it is struggling to estimate a complex story because the approach itself is not clear. How should the team proceed
Answer:
The answer is "Writing a SPIKE (a non-technical nonstory) as well as the period box until you accept your system planning article".
Explanation:
The working of the team is on state-of-the-art technology and its understanding of the relevant setting, and its main purpose of removing technological complexity is to conduct experiments-this is what a SPIKE tale is about. Whenever a story could not be predicted as the manager wants an experiment, it's indeed best to read a piece before continuing to work on the storyline.
Decision Making Mystic Bottling Company bottles popular beverages in the Bottling Department. The beverages are produced by blending concentrate with water and sugar. The concentrate is purchased from a concentrate producer. The concentrate producer sets higher prices for the more popular concentrate flavors. A simplified Bottling Department cost of production report separating the cost of bottling the four flavors follows:
A B C D E
1 Orange Cola Lemon-Lime Root Beer
2 Concentrate $ 4,625 $129,000 $ 105,000 $ 7,600
3 Water 1,250 30,000 25,000 2,000
4 Sugar 3,000 72,000 60,000 4,800
5 Bottles 5,500 132,000 110,000 8,800
6 Flavor changeover 3,000 4,800 4,000 10,000
7 Conversion cost 1,750 24,000 20,000 2,800
8 Total cost transferred to finished goods $19,125 $391,800 $324,000 $36,000
9 Number of cases 2,500 60,000 50,000 4,000
10 Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors.
Determine the cost per case for each of the four flavors. Round your answers to two decimal places

You are the financial manager for a recreation center that has signed an option to purchase new elliptical machines for $22,000 in two years. If you have an investment opportunity that guarantees 7% interest, how much must you invest to have the necessary funds to purchase the elliptical machines
Answer:
$19,215.65
Explanation:
To the determine the amount to be invested, we have to find the present value of $22,000 at 7%
P= FV ( 1 + r) ^-n
FV = Future value = $22,000
P = Present value
R = interest rate = 7%
N = number of years = 2
$22,000(1.07)^-2 = $19,215.65
