Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
Assuming it is to be perpetuity. Amount to be saved = P/I
Amount to be saved = Annual interest amount / Annual interest rate
Amount to be saved = $2,000/8%
Amount to be saved = $2,000/0.08
Amount to be saved = $25,000
So, the worker should save $25,000 before retirement if he wishes to draw interest of $2,000 per year.
Geraldine, an attorney, rendered legal services in organizing an oil and gas partnership in the current year. Instead of submitting a bill for her services. Geraldine accepted a 10% capital interest in the partnership. Geraldine's normal charge for the services performed would have been $10,000. The fair market value of the 10% interest received by Geraldine was $12,000. How much should Geraldine report on her current year's income tax return
Answer:
Geraldine
The amount that Geraldine should report on her current year's income tax return as income from the above exchange is:
= $10,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Geraldine's normal charge for the services performed = $10,000
The fair market value of the 10% interest received by Geraldine = $12,000
Geraldine's partnership interest = 10%
This is because $10,000 is also her basis in the partnership interest and not $12,000 the fair market value of the 10% interest.
New shoes are on SALE. You find a pair you like for $85 dollars. But you only have $45 with you. So, you pay $40 and
Answer:
Explanation:Answer:
The balance amount owned in six months is $ 46.8
Explanation:

Or, Simple interest = = $1.8
So, Amount = Principal + Interest
or, Amount = $45 + $1.8 = $ 46.8
Direct Materials Variances Bellingham Company produces a product that requires nine standard pounds per unit. The standard price is $8.5 per pound. If 2,100 units used 18,100 pounds, which were purchased at $8.93 per pound, what is the direct materials (a) price variance, (b) quantity variance, and (c) cost variance
Answer:
The correct answer is:
(a) -7783
(b) 6800
(c) -983
Explanation:
According to the given values in the question:
(a)
The price variance will be:
= [tex](8.5-8.93)\times 18100[/tex]
= [tex]-0.43\times 18100[/tex]
= [tex]-7783[/tex] (Favorable)
(b)
The quantity variance will be:
= [tex](2100\times 9-18100)\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex](18900-18100)\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex]800\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex]6800[/tex] (Unfavorable)
(c)
The cost variance will be:
= [tex](2100\times 9\times 8.5)-(18100\times 8.93)[/tex]
= [tex](160650)-(161633)[/tex]
= [tex]-983[/tex] (Favorable)
ellie has been working for an engineering firm and earning an annual salary of 80000 she decides to open her own engineering business her annual expenses will be
Answer:
A $185,700 revenue will yield Ellie's business $50,000 in economic profits.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question :
Ellie has been working for an engineering firm and earning an annual salary of $80,000. She decides to open her own engineering business. Her annual expenses will include $15,000 for office rent, $3,000 for equipment rental, $1,000 for supplies, $1,200 for utilities, and a $35,000 salary for a secretary/bookkeeper. Ellie will cover her start-up expenses by cashing in a $20,000 certificate of deposit on which she was earning annual interest of $500. Which of the following statements is correct?
A $185,700 revenue will yield Ellie's business $50,000 in economic profits. Ellie's annual accounting costs will equal $80,500.
A $185,700 revenue will yield Ellie's business $50,000 in accounting profits. Ellie's annual implicit costs will equal $55,200.
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Ellie's total explicit cost = office rent + rentals + supply + utilities + salary for a secretary
$15,000 + $3,000 + $1,000 + $35,000 + $1,200 = $55,200
If revenue is $185,700, accounting profit = $185,700 - $55,200 = $130,500
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Ellie's implicit cost = $80,000 + $500 = $80,500
Economic profit = $130,500 - $80,500 = $50,000
On May 7, Jernigan Company purchased on account 510 units of raw materials at $18 per unit. During May, raw materials were requisitioned for production as follows: 153 units for Job 200 at $15 per unit and 158 units for Job 305 at $18 per unit.
Required:
Journalize the entry on May 7 to record the purchase.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the purchase is shown below;
Materials (510 units × $18) $9,180
To Accounts payable $9,180
(To record the purchases)
Here the material is debited as it increased the assets and credited the account payable as it also increased the liabilities
Therefore the above journal entry should be passed
Net Income $1,200 ($500) $2,300 Net Cash Flows $500 $300 $2,800 Dividends $200 $0 $200 Issuance of Stock $2,000 $0 $0 The above amounts represent totals from the first three years of operations. Calculate the balance of Retained Earnings at the end of 2018.
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
The computation of the balance of Retained Earnings at the end of 2018 is shown below;
= net income - dividend
= $1,200 - $500 + $2,300 - $200 - $0 - $200
= $2,600
We simply deduct the dividend amount from the net income so that the balance of the retained earning could come
For financial reporting, Clinton Poultry Farms has used the declining-balance method of depreciation for conveyor equipment acquired at the beginning of 2018 for $2,560,000. Its useful life was estimated to be six years with a $160,000 residual value. At the beginning of 2021, Clinton decides to change to the straight-line method. The effect of this change on depreciation for each year is as follows:
Year Straight-Line Declining Balance Difference
2018 $400 $853 $453
2019 400 569 169
2021 400 379 (21)
$1,200 $1,801 $601
Required:
Prepare any 2018 journal entry related to the change?
Answer:
A change in the depreciation method is not a change of accounting policies. Therefore, this change will not require any retrospective journal entry for 2018. Changes in depreciation methods are prospective, meaning that they affect future values, not past values. This is considered a change in an accounting estimate.
Explanation:
Indi and Indrani are sisters who own a software development company. Demand has been increasing for their products and services and the sisters are contemplating whether to open up a satellite office in Austin. They estimate it would add $7 million in expenses and a profit of $12.5 million in total over the next 5 years (all other things equal). Indi and Indrani decide
Answer:
open an new office because the expected marginal benefit ($12.5 million over 5 years) is greater than the estimated marginal cost ($7 million)
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Given that
Total marginal benefit = 12.5 million
And, the Total marginal cost = 7 million
Based on the above information
We can see that the new office should be opened as the marginal benefit would be more than the marginal cost
Therefore the first option is correct
And, the rest of the options would be incorrect

Answer:
44 days
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate accounts receivable turnover Blue Spruce Inc.
= $384,000 / [($56,400 + $36,000) / 2 ]
= $384,000 / $46,200
= 8.31 times
Then, to calculate the average collection period for accounts receivable, it will be :
= 365 days / 8.31
= 43.92
= 44 days aprox.

Rodrigo was eager to make a presentation on the benefits of improvisation in the workplace. When he arrived in the conference room, he realized that seven bankers would attend the presentation via computer conferencing from offices in other states. This presentation provides an example of __________. synchronous communication in-person communication co-located communication asynchronous communication
Answer:
synchronous communication
Explanation:
The above question refers to an example of synchronous communication, which occurs when there is communication between two or more people in real time, not requiring physical presence, but which can occur virtually, such as through videoconferences and phone calls.
In the above situation, Rodrigo would make a presentation at work that would be attended in real time by seven bankers, through a computer conference of offices in other states, in real time, so it is correct to say that this example refers to synchronous communication.
In the work environment, synchronous communication in a virtual way is very beneficial because it allows the integration between work teams, customers and branches of the company, without the need for physical presence, which increases the speed of organizational processes and decisions, reduces the costs and enables greater organizational coordination.

Larkspur, Inc. reports net income of $89,770 in 2017. However, ending inventory was understated by $7,100. Collapse question part (a) What is the correct net income for 2017
Answer:
$96,870
Explanation:
The understatement of ending inventory causes the cost of goods sold to be overstated and the gross and net income to be understated by the same amount.
If the 2017 ending inventory was understated by $7,100 then the correct net income figure for 2017 will be $7,1000 more that what was reported.
Therefore, 2017 corrected net income
= $89,770 + $7,100
= $96,870

Currently Digby is paying a dividend of $16.13 (per share). If this dividend stayed the same, but the stock price rose by 10% what would be the dividend yield
Answer: 14.66%
Explanation:
Dividend yield = Dividend / Share price
The dividend being paid is $16.13 per share. As there is no share price given, I shall assume that the share price is $100. The new share price will be:
= 100 * (1 + 10%)
= $110
The Dividend yield would then become:
= 16.13 / 110
= 14.66%
(Use the above method and the share price in the question to find the specific answer to your question).
Given the following cash flows for a capital project for the Witter Corp., calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8 percent. Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000; Year 1 = 15,000; Year 2 = 15,000; Year 3 = 20,000; Year 4 = 10,000; and Year 5 = 5,000. The discounted payback period is
Answer:
4.01 years
Explanation:
The computation of the discounted payback period is shown below;
Given that
Required rate of return is 8%
Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000;
Year 1 = 15,000;
Year 2 = 15,000;
Year 3 = 20,000;
Year 4 = 10,000;
and Year 5 = 5,000
As we can see from the attached table that approx in 4 years it could cover $49,975
So
the discounted payback period is
= 4 years + ($50,000 - $49,975.91) ÷ $3,402.92
= 4.01 years

g reported pretax accounting income of $860 million for the current year. Depreciation reported in the tax return in excess of depreciation in the income statement was $1,140 million. The excess tax will reverse itself evenly over the next three years. The current year's tax rate of 25% will be reduced under the current law to 30% next year and 35% for all subsequent years. At the end of the current year, the deferred tax liability related to the excess depreciation will be:
Answer: $380 million
Explanation:
To solve the question, first we have to calculate the depreciation that'll be reported for each year and this will be:
= $1140 million/3 years
= $380 million
Then, the deferred tax liability related to the excess depreciation will be:
= ($380 million × 30%) + ($380 million ×
35%) + ($380 million × 35%)
= $114m + $133m + $133m
= $380 million
Assume that the reserve requirement is 10 percent. Also assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and there is no cash held by the public. The Federal Reserve decides that it wants to expand the money supply by $50 million using open-market operations. In order to accomplish its goal, the Fed needs to $____________ million worth of bonds.
Answer:
$5 million
Explanation:
Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement
0.1 x 50 million = 5 million
$85,000 and Rocko can also receive $38,000 for trading in the old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $14,000 per year over its five-year life. Should the machine be replaced
Answer: Yes, because income will increase by $23,000.
Explanation:
Since the new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $14,000 per year over its five-year life, the savings for the five years will be:
= $14000 × 5
= $70000
The extra cost needed will be:
= $85000 - $38000
= $47000
Based on the above calculation, the net gain will be:
= $70000 - $47000
= $23000.
Therefore, the machine should be replaced because income will increase by $23,000.
Innovation is the creation of something new that makes money. In order to be profitable, innovations must be both novel and useful.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;
1. Core benefit.
2. Generic product.
3. Expected product.
4. Augmented product.
5. Potential product.
The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.
Hence, the term that refers to the first level of a product, which depends on the customer value it generates is generally referred to as a core benefit. For example, a hotel provides a comfortable and convenient bed to spend the night (sleep) when you travel for a vacation.
Innovation typically involves the creation of a new product of any category such as automobile, building, phones, electronics, etc., that generates money for the innovators or manufacturers through purchase made by the end users (consumers).
In order for the innovator to make profits, it is expected or required that his or her innovation is both novel and useful.
An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.80 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $25,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer:
-$79000
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) is shown below;
Particulars Per unit Total 13000 units
Make Buy Make Buy
Direct materials 2.90 37700
Direct labor 7.50 97500
Variable manufacturing
overhead 8.00 104000
Supervisor's salary 3.40 44200
Contribution margin 25000
Purchase cost 29.80 387400
Total 308400 387400
Now the finacial disadvantage is
= 308400 - 387400
= -$79000
Find the area of the shaded region. The graph to the right depicts IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
Shaded region is 95
Answer:
Area of the Shaded Region = 0.6293
Explanation:
Given - The graph to the right depicts IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
Shaded region is 95.
To find - Find the area of the shaded region.
Proof -
As given that, Shaded region is 95
So,
Area of shaded region is
P(X > 95)
= [tex]P(z > \frac{95 - 100}{15})[/tex]
= [tex]P(z > \frac{-5}{15})[/tex]
= P(z > -0.33)
= 1 - P(z ≤ -0.33)
= 1 - 0.3707
= 0.6293
∴ we get
Area of the Shaded Region = 0.6293
Suppose you win the Publishers Clearinghouse $10 million sweepstakes. The money is paid in equal annual end-of-year installments of $333,333.33 over 30 years. If the appropriate discount rate is 5%, how much is the sweepstakes actually worth today
Answer:
the actual worth today is $5,124,150.29
Explanation:
The computation of the actual worth today is as follows:
= (Year end annual payments) ÷ (rate of interest) × (1 - (1 + rate of interest)^-time period
= ($333,333.33) ÷0.05 × (1 - (1 + 0.05)^-30
= $5,124,150.29
hence, the actual worth today is $5,124,150.29
The above formula should be applied
Net credit sales $120,000 Average accounts receivable 20,000 Cash collections on credit sales 100,000 What is the receivables turnover ratio

Over the past several years, the beverage industry has been rapidly changing. New drinks are constantly being invented, and more and more companies are looking to market healthy drinks, with less sugar and fewer artificial sweeteners. This type of environment demands that a company have a structure that is more:
Answer:
Flexible
Explanation:
Flexible organisational structure is one that is informal and lacks management layers (flat structure).
This helps an organisation make decisions faster without waiting for approval at various levels of heirachy or departments within the organisation.
In the given scenario new drinks are constantly being invented, and more and more companies are looking to market healthy drinks, with less sugar and fewer artificial sweeteners.
Quick decisions on product change are needed and this is provided for by the flexible organisation structure.
