Answer:
The inflation rate is different using the two methods as the rate of inflation calculated by the CPI holds basket of goods and services constant while the GDP deflator allows it to change.
Explanation:
i. Value of market basket of the good in 2020 = ($50*2) + ($5*6) = $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2021 = ($70*2) + ($6*6) = $176
CPI in 2020 = ($130 / $130) * 100 = 100
CPI in 2021 = ($176 / $130) * 100 = 135.38
Thus, The percentage change in overall price level is = [(135.38 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 35.38%
ii. Nominal GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Nominal GDP in 2021 = ($70 * 21) + ($6 * 80) = $1950
Real GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Real GDP in 2021 = ($50 * 21) + ($5 * 80) = $1450
GDP deflator in 2020 = (Nominal GDP in 2107 / Nominal GDP in 2107) * 100 = ($1300 / $1300) * 100 = 100
GDP deflator in 2021 = (Nominal GDP in 2108 / Nominal GDP in 2108) * 100 = ($1950 / $1450) * 100 = 134.48
Thus, the percentage change in overall price level is = [(134.48 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 34.48%
Determining the true cash balance, starting with the unadjusted book balance
Nickleson Company had an unadjusted cash balance of $7,176 as of May 31. The company’s bank statement, also dated May 31, included a $67 NSF check written by one of Nickleson’s customers. There were $1,239 in outstanding checks and $255 in deposits in transit as of May 31. According to the bank statement, service charges were $35, and the bank collected an $600 note receivable for Nickleson. The bank statement also showed $14 of interest revenue earned by Nickleson.
Required:
Determine the true cash balance as of May 31. (Hint: It is not necessary to use all of the preceding items to determine the true balance.)
True cash balance
Answer:
True Cash Balance $7,688
Explanation:
The computation of the true cash balance is shown below:
Unadjusted Cash Balance as of May 31 $7,176
Add: Interest Earned $14
Note Collected by Bank $600
Less: NSF check ($67)
Less Bank charges ($35)
True Cash Balance $7,688
Hence, the true cash balance is $7,688 and the same is to be considered
Financial Assertions and Audit Objectives. You are engaged to examine the financial statements of Spillane Company for the year ended December 31. Assume that on November 1, Spillane borrowed $500,000 from Second National Bank to finance plant expansion. The long-term note agreement provided for the annual payment of principal and interest over five years. The existing plant was pledged as security for the loan. Due to the unexpected difficulties in acquiring the building site, the plant expansion did not begin on time. To use the borrowed funds, management decided to invest in stocks and bonds and on November 16, invested the $500,000 in publicly traded securities
Required:
Develop specific assertions (audit objectives) related to securities (assets) based on management’s five (PCAOB) general assertions.
Answer:
Assertion 1) Existence or occurrence: the company must provide the loan documents along with proof that they actually purchased the stocks and bonds using the loan money. It would also help to have a document explaining why the building site couldn't be acquired as planned.
Assertion 2) Rights and obligations: all the legal paperwork regarding the loan, the mortgage on the existing plant and the stocks and bond paperwork must be presented.
Assertion 3) Completeness: all the relevant information must be readily available including building titles, inventories, equipment, cash receipts, etc. The auditor should be allowed to physically visit the plant and confirm the documents.
Assertion 4) Valuation and allocation: information regarding the current market values of the building, inventories and equipment should be given. The auditor should be able to confirm if the depreciation values and market values are consistent. Also, the auditor must have access to accounts receivables and should be able to analyze them to check for any inconsistencies.
Assertion 5) Presentation and disclosure: the auditor should be able to check expense accounts and capitalization accounts, and analyze them. E.g. equipment or machinery repairs must be treated as expenses and not capitalized.

What are the five steps to understanding how foreign born labor impacts native born workers?
Answer:
HOW MUCH DO FOREIGN - BORN WORKERS EARN?
Foreign-born individuals typically earn less than native-born individuals — on average, 83 cents for every dollar earned by their native-born counterparts. That disparity generally holds true across age groups and education levels, with one significant exception. Foreign-born individuals with a bachelor’s degree or more had median weekly earnings of $1,362 per week in 2018, about $53 per week higher than the median for the native-born population with that level of education.
Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06

Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answer: false
Explanation:
The alternative to the term of agreement is the declaration of bankruptcy, in which the cities can extract their pensions, it gives a much better alternative. It also increases the bargaining powers of the members of the city. It will help in extracting concessions from the government. It also increases the disagreement value of the city.
The partnership of Angel Investor Associates began operations on January 1, 20Y5, with contributions from two partners as follows:
Dennis Overton $180,000
Ben Testerman 120,000
The following additional partner transactions took place during the year:
1. In early January, Randy Campbell is admitted to the partnership by contributing $75,000 cash for a 20% interest.
2. Net income of $150,000 was earned in 20Y5. In addition, Dennis Overton received a salary allowance of $40,000 for the year. The three partners agree to an income-sharing ratio equal to their capital balances after admitting Campbell.
3. The partners' withdrawals are equal to half of the increase in their capital balances from salary allowance and income.
Required:
Prepare a statement of partnership equity for the year ended December 31, 20Y5.
Answer:
450000
Explanation:
The statement of partners' capital shows the changes in each partner's capital account for the year or period being reported on. It has the same format as the statement of owner's equity except that it includes a column for each partner and a total column for the company rather than just one column. The statement starts with the beginning capital balance, followed by the amounts of investments made, the share of net income or loss, and withdrawals made during the reporting period to determine the capital balance at the end of the period.

Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow. In addition to trade accounts payable, many companies have other types of current liabilities. These include amounts withheld from employees' pay, sales and other taxes payable, deposits, and other accrued liabilities.
CONCEPT REVIEW:
Companies have many different types of current liabilities. These can include various taxes payable (income tax, sales tax, payroll tax), accrued amounts for salary, vacation or other benefits, and estimates such as accrued utilities and warranty. To adhere to the concept of the matching principle, companies must estimate the amount of their other liabilities.
1. Federal anid state governments do not specily the exact______to be maint, but do specify the amounts to be withheld.
2. Income taxes withheld from employees but not yet submitted to the govenment are considered to be a(n)______.
3. When testing customer deposits, auditors typically review a(n)______of the individual deposits.
4. When testing other accrued liabilities. auditors may independently calculate the amount and______ it to management's estimate.
5. Property tax payments are typically______in number.
Answer:
1. Federal and state governments do not specify the exact__number of accounts____to be maintained, but do specify the amounts to be withheld.
2. Income taxes withheld from employees but not yet submitted to the government are considered to be a(n)_liability_____.
3. When testing customer deposits, auditors typically review a(n)_sample_____of the individual deposits.
4. When testing other accrued liabilities. auditors may independently calculate the amount and__compare____ it to management's estimate.
5. Property tax payments are typically_numerous_____in number.
Explanation:
Even Federal and State governments and business organizations apply the matching principle of the generally accepted accounting principles. The principle requires that revenues are matched to the expenses that are incurred in generating them and vice versa. The purpose is to present a balance view of financial performance and position of the reporting entity. For this reason, who expenses may not be actually paid for and they are recognized while some that have been paid for are not. The same rule applies to the revenue side.
King Costume uses a periodic inventory system. The company started the month with 6 masks in its beginning inventory that cost $8 each. During the month, King Costume purchased 41 additional masks for $10 each. At the end of the month, King counted its inventory and found that 3 masks remained unsold. Using the LIFO method, its cost of goods sold for the month is:
Answer:
$464
Explanation:
Periodic Inventory method is being used. That means valuation of inventory is done at the end of a specific period.
LIFO method is also used for determining the cost of inventory sold. FIFO stands for Last In First Out.
Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold :
41 unit × $10 = $440
3 units × $8 = $24
Total = $464
The cost of goods sold for the month is: $464
Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?
Answer:
1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary
Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600
Amount required to fund the plan = $4800
2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees
Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200
Amount contributed by each employee = $24
3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary
Percentage of salary = 24/600
Percentage of salary = 0.04
Percentage of salary = 4%
If there is a technological advance that lowers the cost of producing x-ray machines, then we can say that the
Answer:
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
Explanation:
the options are missing:
A ) quantity demanded for those machines will increase.
B) demand for those machines will shift right.
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
D) quantity supplied of those machines will decrease.
If production costs decrease, the supply curve will shift to the right, increasing the total quantity supplied while decreasing the sales price. Advances in technology increase productivity, which allows companies to supply a higher amount of goods at lower prices, which in turn increases the total quantity demanded for these goods.

Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for clear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence.
Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow.
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xcite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.
Paragraph C: The leadership at the Xcite San Francisco site has been phenomenal during the last ten years. Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments. In the next two months, a new leadership team will be formed for the Los Angeles site. This team will consist of transferred employees from the San Francisco site. We will be offering many of you a chance to be part of this move. Additional training will be required for all who are transferring, and moving costs will not be covered. Xcite looks forward to opening another location with excellent products, high profits, and 100 percent employee and customer satisfaction.

Amy and Mitchell share equally in the profits, losses, and capital of the accrual basis AM Products LLC. The LLC does not need to report financial information to any third parties, so capital accounts are determined using tax rules (rather than GAAP). Amy is a managing member of the LLC (treated as a general partner) and is a U.S. person. At the beginning of the current tax year, Amy's capital account has a balance of $960,000, and the LLC has debts of $624,000 payable to unrelated parties. The debts are recourse to the LLC, but neither of the LLC members has personally guaranteed them. Assume that all LLC debt is shared equally between the partners. The following information about AM's operations for the current year is obtained from the LLC's records.
Ordinary income $900,000
W-2 wages to employees 200,000
Depreciation expense 300,000
Interest income from bond 4,000
Long-term capital loss 6,000
Short-term capital gain 12,000
Charitable contribution 4,000
Cash distribution to Amy 20,000
Unadjusted basis of partnership depreciable property 1,600,000
Year-end LLC debt payable to unrelated parties is $140,000.
Required:
What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Share of ordinary income:
= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2
= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2
= 400,000/2
= 200,000
Share of net short term capital gain
= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%
= 6,000 × 0.5
= 3,000
Share of interest income
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Share of charitable contribution deduction
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
You have just been hired as a financial analyst for Barrington Industries. Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 5% interest rate. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:

Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.
Answer: escalation of commitment
Explanation:
Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.
From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.
You are considering starting a company that manufactures racing bicycles. You are planning on financing your firm 40% equity and 60% debt. You estimate that your upfront costs will be $5M, and that you will earn an EBIT of $1M per year for the next 12 years. Lightning Bolt Bikes makes racing bicycles similar to the ones that you wish to manufacture. They have a CAPM equity beta of 1.9 and a debt to equity ratio of 0.7. The tax rate for both firms is 35%, the riskless rate is 3%, and the expected return on the S&P500 is 15%. Cost of Debt is 6%
Part A (5 points). What is the asset beta of Lightning Bolt Bikes?
Part B (5 points). What is your unlevered cost of equity?
Part C (5 points). What is your firm’s equity beta?
Part D (10 points). What is your firm’s weighted average cost of capital?
Part E (5 points). What is the NPV of your proposed bicycle company using the WACC method?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Asset beta measures company's risk or volatility of return in assets without the effect of leverage financing or debt.
Asset beta= Equity beta / 1+(1-tax rate) *debt / equity
2. Unlevered cost of equity measures the returns on assets without the effect of debt
Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free return + Asset Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free return)
3. Equity beta measures security prices' volatility to change in the market
4. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average cost or average cost of all capital sources employed by the company in financing it's assets
Weighted Average cost of capital = Cost of Equity * proportion of equity + Cost of debt after tax rate * proportion of debt
Expected return in CAPM= Risk free return +asset beta *market return -risk free return

Tom and Betsy, who are married filing jointly, reported a standard deduction of $24,000 on their 2018 tax return. They paid $500 to the state for income taxes in 2018. In 2019, they received a $125 refund of state taxes paid in 2018. What is the amount that Tom and Betsy need to report on their 2019 tax return?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since Tom and Betsy didn't itemize their deductions in 2018 (they chose the standard deduction), they didn't include the state taxes in their tax filing. Since the state taxes were not used by Tom and Betsy to reduce their federal income taxes, then any refund will not be included in their current income. Only if state taxes are used to lower federal taxes, do taxpayers need to include any refund.
If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount. 2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.
The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.

=6,000
University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs
455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs
Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Printing = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%
Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs
315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.
Maintenance = 315 / 2,100 = 15%
Printing = 294 / 2,100 = 14%
Developing = 1,491 / 2,100 = 71%

The following data pertain to the Oneida Restaurant Supply Company for the year just ended.
Budgeted sales revenue $205,000
Actual manufacturing overhead 336,000
Budgeted machine hours (based on practical capacity) 8,000
Budgeted direct-labor hours (based on practical capacity) 20,000
Budgeted direct-labor rate $14
Budgeted manufacturing overhead $364,000
Actual machine hours 11,000
Actual direct-labor hours 18,000
Actual direct-labor rate $15
Required:
a. Compute the firm's predetermined overhead rate for the year using each of the following common cost drivers: (a) machine hours, (b) direct-labor hours, and (c) direct-labor dollars.
b. Calculate the over-applied or under-applied overhead for the year using each of the cost drivers listed above.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate/Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 / 8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 / 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 * $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 / $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5 * 11,000 = $500,500
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2 * 18,000 = $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Actual direct-labor rate * Predetermined overhead rate
Manufacturing overhead applied = 18,000 * $15 * $1.3 = 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000
we know that
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate ÷ Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 ÷8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 ÷ 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 × $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 ÷ $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $45.5 × 11,000
= $500,500
So,
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $18.2 × 18,000
= $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Actual direct-labor rate × Predetermined overhead rate
= 18,000 × $15 × $1.3
= 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000
