Entry is given below
Explanation:
Entry for factory labor cost
DATE ACCOUNT DEBIT CREDIT
DEC 31 Work in Progress(w) $97,780
Factory overhead $6,340
Wages payable $104,120
Working
Work in progress = 3,860+4,300+24,500+18,600+7120+7400+32,000
Work in progress = 97,780
NOTE: Work in progress is sum of all direct labor cost
Factory Overhead = all indirect labor cost which is only $6,130
Red Sun Rising Corp. has just signed a lease for its new manufacturing facility. The lease agreement calls for annual payments of $1,600,000 for 20 years with the first payment due today. If the interest rate is 3.45 percent, what is the value of this liability today
Answer:
The present value of the liability today is $23,631,155.52
Explanation:
The lease payments form an annuity due as the lease payments meet the criteria of the annuity due. The lease pays equal amount of payments, after equal intervals of time and for a definite period of times. Besides, the payments made are at the start of the period. Thus, it is an annuity due.
The formula to calculate the present value of an annuity due is attached and using this formula we can calculate the present value of the lease liability today.
PV = 1600000 + 1600000 * [ (1 - (1+0.0345)^-19) / 0.0345 ]
PV = $23,631,155.52

Answer:
Dr right-of-use asset $700,000
Cr lease liability $700,000
Explanation:
The company upon entering into the finance lease would have to show the lease as an asset(right-of-use asset) as well as the lease liability(present value of lease obligations owed to the lessor).
As a result, the company would debit right-of-use asset with $700,000 while lease liability is also credited with the same amount
The capital accounts of Hawk and Martin have balances of $160,000 and $140,000, respectively, on January 1, the beginning of the current fiscal year. On April 10, Hawk invested an additional $10,000. During the year, Hawk and Martin withdrew $86,000 and $68,000, respectively, and net income for the year was $258,000. The articles of partnership make no reference to the division of net income. Based on this information, the statement of partners' equity would show what amount in the capital account for Martin on December 31?
Answer:
$213,000
Explanation:
We will figure out first Hawk's share of profit to reach the capital account is shown below:-
Hawk's share of profit = $258,000 ÷ 2
= $129,000
Capital account of Hawk as on December 31 = Opening Balance + Capital Introduced + Profit Share - Drawings
= $160,000 + $10,000 + $129,000 - $86,000
= $213,000

An office building owned by Milo was destroyed by Hurricane Mel on September 25, Year 4. On October 2, Year 4, the President of the United States declared the area where the office building was located a federal disaster area. Milo received settlement of his insurance claim for the destruction of his building on January 2, Year 5. In order to qualify for nonrecognition of gain on this involuntary conversion, what is the last date for Milo to acquire qualified replacement property
Answer:
December 31, year 9
Explanation:
Here, we want to state that date that is possible for Milo to acquire qualified replacement property.
In order to avoid being taxed on a gain resulting from an involuntary conversion, the property subject to the conversion must be replaced within a specified time, measured from the end of the calendar year in which the proceeds are received.
Generally, the period is 2 years, but it is 3 years when the involuntary conversion results from government condemnation or eminent domain and is extended to 4 years when the loss is in connection with a declared federal disaster area.
We are told from the question that Milo received the recovery on January 2, Year 5, the property would have to be replaced within 4 years from the end of Year 5 or by December 31, Year 9

The producer of a downloadable antivirus software program spends exactly $2 comma 650 comma 000 producing the first copy and incurring various costs required to make the software"user-friendly." The firm can produce and distribute additional copies at a per-unit cost of $1.00. If the company sold as many copies as consumers wished to purchase at a price of $1.00 percopy, it would sell 425 comma 000 copies. If the company maximizes its economic profits in the short-run, it sells 225 comma 000 copies at a price of $40. Finally, the company earns zero economic profits when it sells 275 comma 000 copies.What are the firm's economic profits (or losses) if it sells 425 comma 000 copies of the antivirus software program at a $1.00 price per copy? $ -2,650,000 .What are the maximum economic profits that the firm can earn in the short run? $ 6,125,000 . What is marginal revenue when the firm maximizes its short-run economic profits? $ 1.00 .In the long run, after entry of competing firms, to the nearest dollar, and including the correct sign, what amount of economic profits will this firm earn? $ 0 0.
Answer:
What are the firm's economic profits (or losses) if it sells 425 comma 000 copies of the antivirus software program at a $1.00 price per copy?
economic profit = revenue - total costs = $425,000 - $3,075,000 = ($2,650,000)What are the maximum economic profits that the firm can earn in the short run?
maximum economic profit = (225,000 x $40) - $2,875,000 = $6,125,000What is marginal revenue when the firm maximizes its short-run economic profits?
$40Marginal revenue refers to the revenue generated by selling 1 more unit.
In the long run, after entry of competing firms, to the nearest dollar, and including the correct sign, what amount of economic profits will this firm earn?
$0On the long run, economic profit will always = 0
Explanation:
price per copy units sold total revenue
$1 425,000 $425,000
$40 225,000 $9,000,000
total cost to produce and sell 425,000 copies = (425,000 x $1) + $2,650,000 = $3,075,000
total cost to produce and sell 275,000 copies = (275,000 x $1) + $2,650,000 = $2,925,000
total cost to produce and sell 225,000 copies = (225,000 x $1) + $2,650,000 = $2,875,000
An eight-year bond has a yield of 10% and a duration of 7.208 years. If the bond's yield increases by 50 basis points, what is the percentage change in the bond's price as predicted by the duration formula
Answer:
3.28%
Explanation:
For the computation of percentage change in the bond's price first, we need to find out the modified duration which is shown below:-
Modified duration = duration ÷ (1+yield)
= 7.208 ÷ (1 + 10%)
= 6.553
Percentage change in price = modified duration × change in yield
= 6.553 × 0.5%
= 3.28%
Therefore for computing the percentage change in the bond's price we simply applied the above formula.
Carlsbad Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2016 to $6 million in 2017, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $4 million at the end of 2016. Carlsbad is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 6%, and the forecasted retention ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast the additional funds Carlsbad will need for the coming year. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
$538,000
Explanation:
EFN = [(assets/sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [(liabilities/sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [profit margin x forecasted sales x (1 - dividend payout)]
current sales = $5,000,000
change in sales = $1,000,000
assets $4,000,000
profit margin = 6%
1 - dividend payout = 45%
current liabilities that change in proportion to sales = $500,000
forecasted sales = $6,000,000
EFN = [($4,000,000/$5,000,000) x ($1,000,000)] - [($500,000/$5,000,000) x ($1,000,000)] - (6% x $6,000,000 x 0.45)
EFN = $800,000 - $100,000 - $162,000 = $538,000

Suppose that Larimer Company sells a product for $24. Unit costs are as follows:
Direct materials $4.98
Direct labor 2.10
Variable factory overhead 1.00
Variable selling and administrative expense 2.00
Total fixed factory overhead is $26,500 per year, and total fixed selling and administrative expense is $15,260.
Requried:
a. Calculate the variable cost per unit and the contribution margin per unit.
b. Calculate the contribution margin ratio and the variable cost ratio.
c. Calculate the break-even units.
Answer:
a)
Variable cost per unit=$10.08
Contribution per unit=$13.92
b)
Contribution margin ratio=58%
Variable cost ratio= 42%
c) Break-even units=3,000 units
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit
= 4.98 + 2.10 + 1.00 + 2.00 = $10.08
Variable cost per unit=$10.08
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= 24 - 10.08 =13.92
Contribution per unit=$13.92
b)
Contribution margin ratio= contribution/selling price= 13.92/24 × 100=58%
Contribution margin ratio=58%
Variable cost ratio = variable cost/selling price= 10.08 /24× 100 = 42%
Variable cost ratio=42%
c)
Break-even units = Total general fixed cost/contribution per unit
= (26,500 + 15,260)/ 13.92 = 3000 units
Break-even units=3,000 units
2014 ending inventory was overstated by $25,000, but it was too late to correct the financial statements. Which of the following describes the effect of the inventory error on the 2014 financial statements?A. Net income and stockholders' equity are both understated.
B. Net income is understated and stockholders' equity is correct.
C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.
D. Net income and stockholders' equity are both unaffected.
Answer:
C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.
Explanation:
In the income statement , ending inventory is deducted from the addition of the beginning inventory and net purchases to arrive at the cost of goods sold. Therefore, the cost of goods can be stated as an equation stated as follows:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory
From the above equation, it can be observed that if the ending inventory is overstated, cost of goods sold will be understated by that amount.
Since gross income is determined by deducting cost of goods sold from the net sales, an understated cost of goods sold will result in an overstated gross income and subsequently overstated net income.
Since net income is one of the components of the stockholders' equity, an overstated net income will leads to an overstated stockholders' equity.
Therefore, the correct option is C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.
Some studies done by economists have found that the original inventor receives _________________________________________________ from innovations, while other businesses and new product users receive the rest of the benefit.
Answer:
one-third to one-half of the total economic benefits
Explanation:
It has been found that although most inventors put in a lot of time, money, energy, and intellect into discovering new products, they most times do not make much gains from their discoveries. The rate at which other competing firms copy the new innovations, make it such that the innovative company might lose the sole right to market the product and make any gains from the sale.
Economists from their own research have also found that the original inventor just makes one-third to one-half of the total economic benefits from the new product, while other businesses receive the remaining benefits because of their ability to copy the original. Sometimes the innovators go through legal battles to secure patent rights, and even after this, they may not make enough money to cover all the expenses.
What is the market value of a stock that paid a dividend of $3.80 last year if the dividend is increasing at 10% annually and the required rate of return on the stock is 20%
Answer:
The market value of the stock is $41.8
Explanation:
Div 1 = Div 0 (1+r)
=3.80 (1+0.10)
=3.80(1.10)
=4.18
Market value of the stock= Dividend 1 / (r-g)
= 4.18 / 0.2 - 0.1
= 4.18 / 0.1
= $41.8
The market value of the stock is $41.8
This year, Nancy, a single taxpayer, paid $12,300 of real estate taxes on her personal residence and $7,500 of state income taxes. Assuming Nancy itemizes her deductions, what amout can she deduct for taxes this year
Answer:
$12,500
Explanation:
Nancy can deduct both her real estate taxes and state income taxes from her gross income. This way, she will end up paying less federal income taxes. The exact amount that she saves depends on her tax bracket, which is not given.
Assuming Nancy doesn't take the standard deduction, she can deduct 100% of her state income taxes ($7,500) and up to $5,000 in real estate taxes since she is a single taxpayer. Her total deduction on these two items will be $12,500.
Company X got a loan of e4,000,000. The company agreed repay this loan as follows: a first payment of e2,400,000 one year from now and a second payment of 2,200,000 within two years. The tax rate is 25%. Determine the cost of this loan
Answer:
The cost of loan is $600000.
Explanation:
The loan amount = 4000000
The cost of loan refers to the interest rates and other charges that borrower pays. So in the given question first installment is 2400000 in the first year and second installment is 2200000. Here, lets assume any amount other then actual amount of loan amount is the amount spent on loan.
So, the cost of loan = (2400000 + 2200000) – 4000000 = $600000
Chutes & Co. has interest expense of $ 1.25 million and an operating margin of 10.8 % on total sales of $ 30.7 million. What is Chutes' interest coverage ratio?
Answer:
2.7 times
Explanation:
Chutes and co. has an interest expense of 1.25 million
Operating margin of 10.8%
Total sales of 30.7 million
The first step is to calculate the operating income
Operating income= Sales×operating margin
= $30,700,000×10.8/100
= $30,700,000×0.108
= $3,315,600
Therefore, the interest coverage ratio can be calculated as follows
Interest coverage ratio= Operating income/Interest expense
= $3,315,600/$1,250,000
= 2.65
= 2.7 times
Hence Chutes' interest coverage ratio is 2.7 times
Which is the correct sequence for recording transactions and preparing financial statements?

b. Journal, ledger, trial balance, financial statements
c. Financial statements, trial balance, ledger, journal
d. Ledger, journal, trial balance, financial statements
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
The first is the journal. A journal entry may be a summary of the debits and credits of the transaction entry to the journal.
Followed by a ledger which may be a book containing accounts during which the classified and summarized information from the journals is posted as debits and credits.
Trial balance which is that the listing of all accounts (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense) with the ending account balance or or its a report that lists the balances of all book accounts of a corporation at a specific point in time.
And lastly the financial statements. they're written records of a business's financial situation
A process capability index of 2 means that the upper and lower specification limits of the process are six standard deviations above and below the mean respectively. True or False? Eliminating variations is always possible. True or False?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The formula to compute the process capability index is shown below:
Cpk = minimum [(Mean - LSL) ÷ 3σ , (USL – Mean) ÷ 3σ]
Now
If Cpk = 2,
so
(Mean - LSL) ÷ 3σ = 2 or (USL – Mean) ÷ 3σ = 2
Mean – LSL = 6σ or USL – Mean = 6σ
Therefore, if Cpk = 2, the process's USL or LSL is six standard deviations (6σ) up or down mean
Hence, the given statement is true
The number of support staff needed to handle the volume of incidents in a help desk operation is a similar problem to the number of cashiers a grocery store needs to keep checkout lines from getting too long.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The number of support staff needed to handle the volume of incidents in a help desk operation depends on the amount of calls that are received at different times and according to that a number of staff is defined to handle the calls without having customers waiting for a long time on the phone which is the same that happens with the number cashiers at a grocery store which is determined based on the amount of people in the store to avoid long lines and we can see that the stores have more cash registers open when they are full of people.

A company is planning for its financing needs and uses the basic fixed-order quantity inventory model. Which of the following is the total cost (TC) of the inventory given an annual demand of 10,000, setup cost of $32, a holding cost per unit per year of $4, an EOQ of 400 units, and a cost per unit of inventory of $150?
(Show your Work)
A) $1,501,600
B) $1,501,600
C) $500,687
D) $500,687
E) None of the above
Answer:
$1,501,600
Explanation:
We have Q = 400
Average inventory = Q/ 2
= 400/2
= 200
Holding cost/year = $4
Annual holding cost = $800
Annual set up cost = 10,000/400
= 25
25 x 32 = 800
Demand x cost per unit
= 10000 x $150
= 1,500,000
Total cost TC = 1500000 + 800 + 800
= $1,501,600

If the supply decreases in the market for sweet rolls, what do you expect to happen to equilibrium quantity (Qe) and equilibrium price (Pe)?
a. Qe decreases; Pe increases.
b. Qe decreases: Pe decreases
c. Qe increases; Pe decreases
d. Qe increases; Pe increases
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Qe decreases; Pe increases.
Explanation:
To begin with, the situation in where the supply of a certain product decreases due to the decrease in its production will implicate that the equilibrium in the market will be changed, so what will happen is that the the supply curve will shift to the left and the price will increase because now there is less of the good in the market and its value is higher because of that and with that the quantity will decrease as well because the price has risen.

Waterway Company
Journal entry:
Debit Cost of goods sold $9,800
Credit Manufacturing overhead expense $9,800
To assign the underapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
a) Data and calculations:
Estimated overhead costs = $346,775
Estimated machine usage = 126,100 hours
Overhead rate applied = $346,775/126,100 = $2.75 per hour
Actual overhead costs = $369,500
Actual machine usage = 130,800 hours
Actual overhead rate = $369,500/130,800 = $2.82
Overhead was underapplied by the difference between actual overhead costs applied and actual overhead.
Actual overhead applied = $2.75 x 130,800 = $359,700
Actual overhead costs = $369,500
Difference (underapplied) is $9,800
When the overhead is underapplied or overapplied because of the rate used based on actual usage, the underapplied overhead is a debit or credit to the cost of goods sold respectively. While underapplied overhead increases the cost of goods sold, overapplied reduces the cost of goods sold by the amount of under- or over-application.
The following is an example of the reasoning of a rule utilitarian:
"If the practice of stealing is bad, then one ought not to steal now, even if in this case to steal would actually bring about better consequences."
a. True
b. False
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of "Rule Utilitarism" refers to a type of utilitarism in where the main characteristic is in the belief that an action is right when it conforms to a rule that leads to the greatest good. Therefore that under this type of ideology, the utilitarians believe that an action would be right when the amount of good that it brings is greater than the action itself. And that is why that for an utilitarian to steal would not be wrong in the case that a greater good would come afterwards for the majority, so that means, better consequences.
A publishing company sells 450 comma 000 copies of certain books each year. It costs the company $ 1 to store each book for a year. Each time it must print additional copies, it costs the company $ 1 comma 000 to set up the presses. How many books should the company produce during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs?
Answer:
The company produce 30,000 books during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs.
Explanation:
The quantity that minimizes total storage and setup costs is known as Economic Order Quantity, in this case it is called the Optimum Batch Quantity.
Optimum Batch Quantity = √((2 × Annual demand × Setup cost per process) / Holding Cost per book.)
= √( (2 × 450,000 × $1,000) / $1)
= 30,000
Conclusion :
The company produce 30,000 books during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs.
