= $178,000
thus,
the fair value of the equipment is $178,000
As a general construction contractor, WDF INC. contracted to renovate schools in New York City. WDF subcontracted with JLG Architectural Products, LLC to supply windows for the renovation. Under the subcontract, a company called East Coast Window Installers Inc. was designated to install the windows for the project. The subcontract provided that JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers would perform and complete the subcontract work together. The subcontract also specifically acknowledged that JLG Architectural Products proposed the work in partnership with East Coat Window Installers. After completion of the project, a dispute over payment and the quality of workmanship arose between the parties. WDT claimed that JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers should be jointly and severally liable for any liability found against either party, because the two were partners in the window installation project. Was WDF correct
Answer:
WDF Inc. is correct. From the fact that JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers Inc. were partners in the window installation subcontract, they should be jointly and severally held liable for any liability arising from the window installation project unless they have contrary agreements clearly differentiating their liabilities in the partnership.
Explanation:
WDF Inc. = main contractor
JLG Architectural Products = subcontractor and partner to East Coast
East Coast Window Installers Inc. = subcontractor and partner to JLG
JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers Inc have formed a partnership when they come together to form a business or execute a business transaction jointly. A joint venture is a kind of partnership.

Lore Co. changed from the cash basis to the accrual basis of accounting during 2005. The cumulative effect of this change should be reported in Lore's 2005 financial statements as a Group of answer choices Prior period adjustment resulting from the correction of an error. Prior period adjustment resulting from the change in accounting principle. Adjustment to retained earnings for an accounting principle change. Component of income after extraordinary item.
Answer: Prior period adjustment resulting from the correction of an error.
Explanation:
The Cash basis method is not acceptable under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP accounting principles and these are the principles followed by the majority of the world so Lore Co. was using the cash basis in violation of both conventions which means that their accounting records before the change are considered wrong and full of errors.
In changing to the acceptable principles, they are correcting that error and need to adjust prior periods for that error as well.
Clampett, Incorporated, converted to an S corporation on January 1, 2020. At that time, Clampett, Incorporated, had cash ($40,000), inventory (FMV $60,000, basis $30,000), accounts receivable (FMV $40,000, basis $40,000), and equipment (FMV $60,000, basis $80,000). In 2021, Clampett, Incorporated, sells its entire inventory for $60,000 (basis $30,000). Assume the corporate tax rate is 21 percent.

On October 1, Swifty's Painting Service borrows $101000 from National Bank on a 3-month, $101000, 4% note. The entry by Swifty's Painting Service to record payment of the note and accrued interest on January 1 is
Answer:
Dr notes payable $101,000
Dr interest payable $1010
Cr cash $102,010
Explanation:
The accrued interest to be recognized on 31 December after 3 months have passed since the borrowing took place is computed thus:
3-month accrued interest=principal borrowed*interest rate*3/12
principal borrowed=$101000
interest rate=4%
3-month accrued interest=$101,000*4%*3/12
3-month accrued interest=$1,010
Initially, when the borrowing was taken, the note payable account would have been credited with $101,000 while cash was debited since cash as an asset has increased.
On December 31, we would record interest of $1,010 as expense while interest payable is credited
Amount paid at maturity=principal+interest
Amount paid at maturity=$101,000+$1010
Amount paid at maturity=$102,010

Ending inventory assuming FIFO would be: (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
Ending inventory cost= $5,556.92
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mar. 1 Beginning inventory 900 $ 7.26
Mar. 10 Purchase 520 7.76
Mar. 16 Purchase 452 8.36
Mar. 23 Purchase 510 9.06

Complete Question
1. One year ago, an investor bought 200 shares of a mutual fund at $8.50 per share. Over the past year, the fund has paid dividends of $.90 per share and had a capital gains distribution of $.75 per share.
a. Find the investor's holding period return, given that this no-load fund now has a net asset value of $9.10.
b. Find the holding period return, assuming all the dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested into additional shares of the fund at an average price of $8.75 per share.
Answer:
a. Holding period returns = 26.47%
b. Holding period returns = 27.41%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of shares bought = 200
Price per share of the mutual fund = $8.50
Dividends per share = $0.90
Capital gains distribution per share = $0.75
Total initial investment cost = $1,700 (200 * $8.50)
Total dividends = $180 (200 * $0.90)
Total capital gains distribution = $150 (200 * $0.75)
Net asset value = $9.10 per share
Total net asset value = $1,820 (200 * $9.10)
Holding period returns:
Dividends $180
Capital gains $150
Price change $120
Total returns = $450
Holding period returns = $450/$1,700 * 100 = 26.47%
Reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distribution:
Initial investment cost = $1,700
Reinvestment cost = 330
Total investment costs = $2,030
Number of additional shares = $330/$8.75 = 38 shares
Total returns = $466 (238 * $9.10) - (200 * $8.50)
Holding period returns in percentage = $466/$1,700 * 100 = 27.41%

The net income reported on the income statement for the current year was $245,000. Depreciation was $40,000. Account receivable and inventories decreased by $12,000 and $35,000, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable increased, respectively, by $1,000 and $8,000. How much cash was provided by operating activities
Answer:
$339,000
Explanation:
Computation of operating activity as is as seen below;
= Net income + Depreciation + Accounts receivable + Inventories decrease - Prepaid expenses + Accounts payable increase
= $245,000 + $40,000 + $12,000 + $35,000 - $1,000 + $8,000
= $339,000
Therefore, the sum of $339,000 was provided as cash for operating activities.
Consider a stock with current year dividend equal to $2.00 per share. You believe the dividend will grow 15% per year for 10 years and 4% per year thereafter.The required equity rate of return (and your hurdle rate) is 10%. What is the fair price of the stock? Assuming the market price of the stock is $70, what is the expected return?
Answer:
a. Fair price of the stock = $79.82
b. The expected return is 7.29%
Explanation:
a. What is the fair price of the stock?
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values (PV) of dividends for year 1 to 10.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Previous year dividend in year 1 = Current year dividend = $2
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $25.74793130208810
Year 10 dividend = $8.09111547141582
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Dividend growth rate in year 11) = $8.09111547141582 * (100% + 4%) = $8.41476009027245
Share price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Required equity rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $8.41476009027245 / (10% - 4%) = $140.246001504541
PV of share price at year 10 = Price at year 10 / (100% + required equity rate of return)^Number of years = $140.246001504541 / (100% + 10%)^10 = $54.0709047493998
Therefore, we have:
Fair price of the stock = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 + PV of share price at year 10 = $25.74793130208810 + $54.0709047493998 = $79.82
b. Assuming the market price of the stock is $70, what is the expected return?
This can be calculated using the dividend discount model formula as follows:
P = D1 / (r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Market price of the stock = $70
D1 = Next dividend = Current dividend * (100% + Dividend growth rate in perpetuity) = $2 * (100% + 4%) = $2.30
r = Expected return = ?
g = Dividend growth rate in perpetuity = 4%, or 0.04
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for r, we have:
70 = 2.30 / (r - 0.04)
70(r - 0.04) = 2.30
70r - 2.80 = 2.30
70r = 2.30 + 2.80
70r = 5.10
r = 5.10 / 70
r = 0.0729, or 7.29%
Therefore, the expected return is 7.29%.
Question Help At the Wild Cat Group Company, the cost of the library and information center has always been charged to the various departments based upon number of employees. Recently, opinions gathered from the department managers indicate that the number of engineers within a department might be a better predictor of library and information center costs. Total library and information center costs are $213,000. Department A B C Number of employees 145 540 140 Number of engineers 0 85 40 If the number of employees is considered the cost driver, what amount of library and information center costs will be allocated to
Answer:
$37,436.36
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of library and information center costs will be allocated to department A is shown below;
= Total library and information center costs × department A employees ÷ total number of employees
= $213,000 × 145 ÷ (145 + 540 + 140)
= $213,000 × 145 ÷ 825
= $37,436.36
hence, the amount would be $37,436.36

oetz Corporation has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project (Ignore income taxes.): Investment required in equipment $ 30,000 Annual cash inflows $ 6,000 Salvage value of equipment $ 0 Life of the investment 15 years Required rate of return 10 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. Refer to Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. The internal rate of return of the investment is closest to:
Answer:
10.25%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow = cash inflow - cash outflow
cash outflow = depreciation expense
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$30,000 / 15 = $2000
Cash flow = $6000 - 2000 = $4000
Cash flow in year 0 = $-30,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 15 = 4,000
IRR = 10.24%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Top Line Electronics has a piece of machinery that costs $600,000 and is expected to have a useful life of 4 years. Residual value is expected to be $100,000. Using the double-declining-balance method, what is depreciation expense for the first year
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $250,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $600,000
Salvage value= $100,000
Useful life= 4 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(600,000 - 100,000) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $250,000
