Assume you were an employee at an organization like IKEA, and Fortune surveyed you for it's 100 Best Companies to Work For list. To what extent would your attitudes be shaped not just by internal work policies, but also by how the company engages with society?
Explanation:
The internal policies of a company with a high reputation in the market and in society help to shape the skills and attitudes of employees as a whole, creating a culture based on ethical values that help to create solid relationships between employees, an environment of positive work that makes the employee feel engaged and motivated to act more and more in accordance with the company's good practices.
A company like IKEA for example, whose values are based on social and environmental positioning and commitment to society, creates in the employee strong feelings of identification and pride in working in a company that generates positive impacts on the world, which contributes to shaping their attitude towards valuing your work and your skills.
Beamish Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operations: Number of units produced 3,700 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 132 Direct labor $ 93 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 12 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $148,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $288,600 There were no beginning or ending inventories. The absorption costing unit product cost was:
Answer:
Absorption costing unit product cost = $270 per unit
Explanation:
Absorption costing values unit produced using the full cost per unit.
It categories cost as production and non-production cost
Full cost per unit =Direct labour cost + direct material cost + Variable production overhead + fixed production overhead
Fixed prod overhead per unit = Total fixed production overhead/Number of units
= $148,000/3,700 units=$40 per unit
Full cost per unit = 132+ 93+ 5 + 40 = $270 per unit
Absorption costing unit = $270 per unit

Suppose the opportunity cost of capital is 10 percent and you have just won a $1 million lottery that entitles you to $100,000 at the end of each of the next ten years. Alternatively, you can accept an immediate cash payment of $600,000. Ignoring the tax implications, which option is better and by how much?
Answer:
It is more convenient to accept the first offer. It has a higher present value than accepting $600,000 now. Exactly $14,456.712
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Discount rate= 10%
Offer:
Cash flow= $100,000
Years= 10
Or:
You can accept an immediate cash payment of $600,000.
First, we need to calculate the present value of the first offer. We will determine the final value, and then, the present value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {100,000*[(1.10^10)-1]} / 0.10
FV= 1,593,742.46
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 1,593,742.56/ (1.10^10)
PV= $614,456.712
It is more convenient to accept the first offer. It has a higher present value than accepting $600,000 now. Exactly $14,456.712

Compute ending inventory and cost of goods sold under FIFO, LIFO, and average cost inventory costing methods.
Answer:
FIFO : Ending Inventory = $6,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $36,000
LIFO : Ending Inventory = $36,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method : Ending Inventory = $10,500, Cost of Goods Sold = $31,500
Explanation:
FIFO
Assumes that the first goods received by business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Earliest Price
= 3000 units × $2
= $6,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
LIFO
Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 4000 units × $2 = $8,000
5000 units × $4 = $20,000
Total = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method
The average cost of goods held is recalculated each time a new delivery of goods is received Issues are then priced out at this weighted average cost.
First Calculate the Average Cost
Average Cost = Total Cost / Total Units
= (2000 × $5 + 6000 × $4 + 4000 × $2) / 12,000
= $42,000 / 12,000
= $3.50
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Average Price
= 3000 units × $3.50
= $10,500
Cost of goods sold
Ending Inventory = Units Sold × Average Price
= 9,000 units × $3.50
= $31,500
Doug Pederson Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on machine-hours. Data for 2017 appear below: Estimated machine-hours 73,000 Estimated total manufacturing overhead $1,057,730 Actual machine-hours 74,900 Actual total manufacturing overhead $1,147,000 The predetermined overhead rate for 2017 was closest to:
Answer:
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $14.5 per machine hour
Explanation
Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR) = Estimate overhead /Estimated machine hours
Estimated overhead = $1,057,730
Estimated machine hours =73,000 hours
Overhead absorption rate = $1,057,730/73,000 hours =$14.48 per machine hour
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $14.5 per machine hour
As part of the initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $35,017 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship. Of this amount, $1,229 is deemed completely worthless. For the remaining accounts, the partnership will establish a provision for possible future uncollectible accounts of $740. The amount debited to Accounts Receivable for the new partnership is
Answer: $33788
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that as part of the initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $35,017 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship and of this amount, $1,229 is deemed completely worthless.
The amount that will be debited to the accounts receivable for the new partnership will be the difference between the balance of $35017 and the $1229 that is seen as been worthless.
= $35017 - $1229
= $33788
Sarah and First Financial Corp. enter into an oral employment contract under which First Financial Corp. agrees to hire Sarah for five years. Before Sarah begins, First Financial Corp. backs out of the contract. If Sarah sues to enforce the contract,
she will be able to successfully sue to enforce the contract or receive damages for the full five year term.
she will be able to successfully sue to enforce the contract or receive damages for one year of the contract, but the remaining four years will be unenforceable because of the Statute of Frauds.
she will not be able to enforce it, because it is voidable by First Financial since it violates the Statute of Frauds.
she will not be able to enforce it because fixed term employment contracts are illegal.
Answer:
she will not be able to enforce it, because it is voidable by First Financial since it violates the Statute of Frauds.
Explanation:
All contracts that last for more than one year fall under the Statute of Frauds and therefore, must be in writing and signed by both parties. Even if the contract was for one year and one day, it must be in writing. The non-breaching party, Sarah, cannot even sue for damages corresponding to only the first year because the contract is considered to be one and cannot be divided into parts.
Pre-determined overhead rates are calculated by dividing estimates of total factory overhead cost in the upcoming accounting period (usually a year) by an estimated usage or capacity of some unit of related activity (such as direct labor hours).
A. True
B. False
Answer:
The correct option is A, true
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead absorption rate is a forecast overhead rate usually computed by estimated total factory overhead by the planned usage or capacity of the unit of the activity.
This is more like planning ahead for the overhead to be incurred, hence the correct option is A , which truly supported that the statement made in the question
A student believes that the average grade on the statistics final examination is 87. A sample of 36 final
examinations is taken. The average grade in the sample is 83.96. The population variance is 144.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Using a critical value, test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance.
c. Using a p-value, test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance.
d. Using a confidence interval, test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance.
Answer:
(a) H₀: μ = 87 vs. Hₐ: μ ≠ 87.
(b) [tex]z=-1.52>-z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96[/tex]. The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(c) The p-value = 0.1286 > α = 0.05. The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(d) The 95% confidence interval for the average grade on the statistics final examination is (80.04, 87.88).
Explanation:
A statistical hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(a)
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87, i.e. μ = 87.
Hₐ: The average grade on the statistics final examination is not 87, i.e. μ ≠ 87.
(b)
The information provided is:
[tex]n=36\\\bar x=83.96\\\sigma^{2}=144[/tex]
As the population variance is provided, we will use a z-test for single mean.
Compute the test statistic value as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}/n}}=\frac{83.96-87}{\sqrt{144/36}}=-1.52[/tex]
The test statistic value is -1.52.
Decision rule:
Reject H₀ if:
[tex]z<-z_{\alpha/2}\ \text{or}\ z<z_{\alpha/2}\\\\\Rightarrow z<-z_{0.05/2}\ \text{or}\ z<z_{0.05/2}\\\\\Rightarrow z<-1.96\ \text{or}\ z<1.96[/tex]
The calculated value of [tex]z=-1.52>-z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96[/tex].
The null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Conclusion:
The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(c)
Decision Rule:
If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected.
Compute the p-value for the two-tailed test as follows:
[tex]p-value=2\cdot P(Z<-1.52)=2\times 0.0643=0.1286[/tex]
*Use a z-table for the probability.
The p-value of the test is 0.1286.
p-value = 0.1286 > α = 0.05
The null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Thus, it can be concluded that average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(d)
Compute the 95% confidence interval for the average grade on the statistics final examination as follows:
[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=83.96\pm 1.96\cdot \sqrt{\frac{144}{36}}\\\\=83.96\pm 3.92\\\\=(80.04, 87.88)[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the average grade on the statistics final examination is (80.04, 87.88).
As the 95% confidence interval consists of the null value, i.e. 87, the null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Hence, concluding that the average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
"Winston tells Lenita that he prefers to form an S corporation because he does not want to attach "LLC" to the name of the company. Lenita responds that the option of an S corporation is not available for their situation. Is she correct
Answer:
D. Yes, because all the owners are not U.S. citizens.
Explanation:
This question is not incomplete.
Please find the incomplete information below.
Winston and Noe patented a mechanism that will change open heart surgery forever. They are setting up a business to produce and sell their invention to hospitals and will take advantage of Noe's non-U.S. citizenship to help with sales in international markets. They hire Lenita, a corporate lawyer, to assist in setting up their business. Winston's largest concern is taxes. Noe, on the other hand, doesn't want to bother keeping corporate minutes and having board meetings as he is too busy. Both are concerned about being sued personally for products liability
As it is mentioned in the question that Winston and Noe wanted to set up a business for producing and selling an invention so that it would result in taking the advantage of non-U.S. citizenship so t it would help in an international market sales. For that, they hired Lenita, who is a corporate lawyer. At the same time, both the point of view is different. But they being sued for liability of products personally.
In the given scenario, Lanita is correct for the non-availability of the S corporation option as all the owners do not belong from U.S citizens.
There are many diet aids on the market. They promise immediate weight loss without exercise or a change in diet. Each is accompanied by a testimonial from a satisfied user. If you pay close attention, you will notice that each ad also contains the statement, "Results may vary." Most likely this statement is included to prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from requiring the dietary aid distributor from having to:_______.
Answer:
run corrective advertising
Explanation:
This was likely included to prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from requiring the dietary aid distributor from having to run corrective advertising. This is a sort of punishment placed on an ad company that has made an ad with false or misleading information, in order to correct this they must add a message that is placed on their ads in order to right this wrong. This message can badly hurt the company as it advises the viewers that the company has spread false information.
The management of L Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $260,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $110,000, which includes depreciation of $17,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
2.04 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
To derive cash flows from net income, add depreciation to net income.
$110,000 + $17,000 = $127,000
Payback period = $260,000 / $127,000 = 2.04 years

In December of 2021, XL Computer's internal auditors discovered that office equipment costing $800,000 was charged to expense in 2019. The asset had an expected life of 10 years with no residual value. XL would have recorded a half year of depreciation in 2019.
Required:
Prepare the necessary correcting entry that would be made in 2016 (ignore income taxes), and the entry to record depreciation for 2021.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entries are shown below:-
1. Office equipment Dr, $800,000
To Accumulated depreciation-equipment $120,000
To Retained earnings $680,000
(Being office equipment is recorded)
Here we debited the office equipment as assets is increasing and we credited the accumulated depreciation-equipment as assets is decreasing and retained earning as stockholder is increasing.
2. Depreciation expenses Dr, $80,000
To Accumulated depreciation-equipment $80,000
(Being depreciation expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the depreciation expenses as it increasing the expenses and we credited the accumulated depreciation-equipment as decreases the assets.
Working note
Depreciation
For 2019
= $800,000 ÷ 10 years
= $80,000 × 6 ÷ 12
= $40,000
For 2020
= $800,000 ÷ 10 years
= $80,000
Total = $40,000 + $80,000
= $120,000
Suppose you borrowed $15,000 at a rate of 8.5% and must repay it in 5 equal installments at the end of each of the next 5 years. How much would you still owe at the end of the first year, after you have made the first payment
Answer:
After first payment the amount remains[tex]= $3807.1066 * 4 = $15228.4264[/tex]
Explanation:
The borrowed amount = $15000
The interest rate on borrowed amount = 8.5%
Repayment years = 5 years
Installment amount should be in five equal apart.
Now we have to find the annual payment amount (that is annuity ).
[tex]15000 = \frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} \\15000 = \frac{ A(1-(1+ 0.085)^{-5}}{0.085}\\1275 = A(1-(1+ 0.085)^{-5}} \\1275 = 0.3349A \\A = $3807.1066[/tex]
Since it is given that amount is repaid in 5 equal installment. Thus installment amount is $3807.1066 and after 1st installment four installment have to be paid.
So after first payment the amount remains[tex]= $3807.1066 * 4 = $15228.4264[/tex]
The following lots of a particular commodity were available for sale during the year Beginning inventory 9 units at $47.00 First purchase 19 units at $55.00 Second purchase 51 units at $59.00 Third purchase 19 units at $59.00 The firm uses the periodic system, and there are 26 units of the commodity on hand at the end of the year. What is the amount of inventory at the end of the year according to the LIFO method? Select the correct answer. $1,534.00 $5,598.00 $1,358.00 $1,222.00
Answer:
Ending inventory= $1,358
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory 9 units at $47.00
First purchase 19 units at $55.00
Second purchase 51 units at $59.00
Third purchase 19 units at $59.00
Ending inventory in units= 26
Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into the inventory.
Ending inventory= 9*47 + 17*55= $1,358
It costs Blakeley Company $22.10 of variable and $2.20 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that normally sells for $31.30. A buyer offers to purchase 2,200 units at $21.00 each. Blakeley has excess capacity and can handle the additional production. What effect will acceptance of the offer have on net income?
Answer:
Effect on income= $2,420 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
It costs Blakeley Company $22.10 of variable
A buyer offers to purchase 2,200 units at $21.00 each
Because there is an unused capacity and it is a special offer, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= 2,200*(21 - 22.1)
Effect on income= $2,420 decrease
In this case, the company should reject the offer, because the unitary contribution margin is negative.
Given the following information, calculate the debt ratio percentage: Liabilities = $25,000Liquid assets = $5,000Monthly credit payments = $800Monthly savings = $760Net worth = $75,000Take-home pay = $2,300Gross income = $3,500Monthly expenses = $2,050
Answer:
33.33%
Explanation:
The debt ratio percentage is calculated as:
Liabilities / Net worth = Debt Ratio Percentage
$25,000 / $75,000 = 0.3333
0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
The debt ratio is easy to calculate and is calculated by dividing the total liabilities of a person with the total net worth of the person. Dividing both gives a figure in decimal which is then multiplied by 100 to derive a percentage.
A company issued 1,000 shares of $10 par value common stock due to a previously declared stock dividend; the market value at both the date of declaration and distribution was $12 per share. Which of the following correctly describes the reporting of this stock issue within the financing activities section of the cash flow statement?
a) A cash outflow of $10,000
b) A cash outflow of $2,000
c) A cash outflow of $12,000
d) There is no cash flow
Answer:
d) There is no cash flow
Explanation:
There is no cash flow because a stock dividend refers to a dividend that is paid by issuing additional shares to shareholders of a company instead of paying them a cash dividend.
Therefore, there is no cash flow since no cash is received nor paid.
Note: To record stock dividends, the amounts is moved from retained earnings to paid-in capital; and the evidence that no cash is received nor paid is that the journal entries for the issue of stock dividend will be as follows:
Debit Retained for $12,000 (i.e. 1,000 * $12 = $12,000)
Credit Common Stock for $10,000 (i.e. 1,000 - $10 = $10,000)
Credit Additional Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par - Common Stock for $2,000 ($12,000 - $10,000)
If $1200 is borrowed at 9% interest, find the amounts due at the end of 4 years if the interest is compounded as follows. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) (i) annually $ 1693.9 Correct: Your answer is correct. (ii) quarterly $ 1204.3 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (iii) monthly $ (iv) weekly $ (v) daily $ (vi) hourly $ (vii) continuously $
Answer and Explanation:
(i) The computation of compound interest for annual is shown below:-
Compound interest = A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^t
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 1)^1 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^4
= $1,693.897932
or
= $1,693.90
(ii) The computation of compound interest for quarterly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 4)^4 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^16
= $1,713.145749
or
= $1,713.15
Since it is quarterly so we divide the interest rate by 4 and multiply the time period by 4
(iii) The computation of compound interest for monthly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 12)^4 × 12
= $1,200 × (1.0075)^48
= $1,717.6864
or
= $1,717.69
Since it is monthly so we divide the interest rate by 12 and multiply the time period by 12
(iv) The computation of compound interest for weekly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 52)^4 × 52
= $1,200 × (1.432883461 )^208
= $1719.460154
or
= $1,719.46
Since it is weekly so we divide the interest rate by 52 and multiply the time period by 52
(v) The computation of compound interest for daily is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 365)^4 × 365
= $1,200 × (1.43326581 )^1460
= $1719.918972
or
= $1719.92
Since it is daily so we divide the interest rate by 365 and multiply the time period by 365
(vi) The computation of compound interest for hourly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 8760)^4 × 8760
= $1,200 × (1.433326764 )^35,040
= $1,719.992117
or
= $1719.99
(vii) The computation of compound interest for continuously is shown below:-
A = Pe^rt
= 1,200e^0.09 × 4
= 1,200e^0.36
= $1,720.00
Currently, the price of Mattco stock is $30 a share. You have $30,000 of your own funds to invest. Using the maximum margin allowed of 50%, what is your percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share
Answer:
The percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share is 20%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share we would have to make the following calculation:
percentage profit or loss=Total Gain/Amount invested
Amount invested=$30,000
According to the given data we have the following:
Share price=$30
Amount invested=$30000
Therefore, Number of shares purchased= ($30,000/50% *1/30)=$2,000
Gain per share ($33-$30)=$3
Therefore, Total Gain=$2,000*$3=$6,000
Therefore, percentage profit or loss= $6,000/$30,000
percentage profit or loss=20%
The percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share is 20%

Assuming Logan's marginal tax rate is 24 percent, how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation
Answer:
$10,680
Explanation:
Computation of the amount of how much more tax that Logan will pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation
Logan would pay the amount of $19,320 in taxes if Military Gear Inc. is a C corporation ($80,500 ×24%).
In a situation were it is an S corporation, that means he would pay the amount of $8,640 in taxes (($80,500 - $44,500) × 24%).
Therefore he has to pay the amount of $10,680 more in his taxes which is ($19,320 - $8,640) currently if Military Gear, Inc.
Logan's tax basis $155,500 -$111,000 tax loss for the year =$44,500
Therefore the amount of money that Logan will tend to pay MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation would be $10,680.

Question:
If an organization tracks its strategy implementation, looks for problem areas, evaluates whether the problem areas indicate any weakness in the strategy, and makes any necessary changes, then it is using:
A) Organizational controls
B) Tactical controls
C) Behavioral controls
D) Strategic controls
Answer:
The correct option is D) Strategic controls
Explanation:
Strategic controls refer to the process which helps one to easily and immediately change direction where if proposed strategies do not create anticipated results.
For example, if a company X, decides to reduce prices to drive sales and increase market share albeit, at a cost to its bottom line, where there is no increase in sales, an effective strategic control process would be to quickly reverse the situation to the status quo before implementation and thereafter go back to the drawing table to check why demand is low.
Demand could be weak because, quality of products, or services, do not meet consumer expectations, it could be that there is a violation of one of the 'P' of marketing such as Positioning.
The head of strategy thus reviews and plans the next move to ensure that changes are effected.
Cheers!
Flyer Company has provided the following information prior to any year-end bad debt adjustment:Cash sales, $167,000Credit sales, $467,000Selling and administrative expenses, $127,000Sales returns and allowances, $47,000Gross profit, $507,000Accounts receivable, $275,000Sales discounts, $31,000Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance, $2,900Flyer estimates bad debt expense assuming that 2% of credit sales have historically been uncollectible. What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded?a) $12,240.b) $9,340.c) $9,780.d) $6,440.
Answer:
The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded is $12,240. Option A
Explanation:
Cash sales = $167,000
Credit sales = $467,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $127,000
Sales returns and allowances = $47,000
Gross profit = $507,000
Accounts receivable = $275,000
Sales discounts = $31,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance = $2,900
Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' = $467,000 × 2%
= $9,240
Credit balance in the allowance account = $2,900
Bad debts expense = Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' + Credit balance in the allowance account
= $9,340 + $2,900
= $12,240
Suppose you are trying to decide whether to invest in a company that generates a high expected ROE, and you want to conduct further analysis on the company’s performance. If you wanted to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, you would: Compare the firm’s financial ratios for the current year with its ratios in previous years Compare the firm’s financial ratios with other firms in the industry for the current year
Answer:
Compare the firm’s financial ratios with other firms in the industry for the current year
Explanation:
return on equity (ROE) = net income / stockholders' equity
it measures how profitable the company is according the amount of money that stockholders' invested in it.
Since you are trying to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, it doesn't make sense to compare the current financial ratios with the financial ratios of previous years. If you want to compare the current year, you must compare the current financial ratios to the ratios of other companies in the same industry or the industry as a whole.

On January 1, 20X8, Package Company acquired 80 percent of Stamp Company's common stock for $280,000 cash. At that date, Stamp reported common stock outstanding of $200,000 and retained earnings of $100,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $70,000. The book values and fair values of Stamp's assets and liabilities were equal, except for other intangible assets which had a fair value $50,000 greater than book value and an 8-year remaining life. Stamp reported the following data for 20X8 and 20X9: Stamp Corporation Year Net Income Comprehensive Income Dividends Paid 20X8 $ 25,000 $ 30,000 $ 5,000 20X9 35,000 45,000 10,000 Package reported net income of $100,000 and paid dividends of $30,000 for both the years. Based on the preceding information, what is the amount of comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8?
Answer:
Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 is $119,000
Explanation:
Stamp Corporation
Year Net Income Comprehensive Income Dividends Paid 20X8 $ 25,000 $ 30,000 $ 5,000
20X9 $35,000 $45,000 $ 10,000
The amount of comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 ;
Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation = $30,000
Less: Annual amortization of intangible assets acquired on acquisition (50000/8) = $6,250
Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation after adjustment = $23,750
Income attributable to controlling interest = 80% × $23,750 = $19,000
Net income of Package Company = $100,000
Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest = Income attributable to controlling interest + Net income of Package Company
= $19,000 + $100,000
= $119,000
george forgot to pay his monthly life insurance premium that was due march 1. the policy had a face value of $100,000. on march 21, george died. how much will the insurer pay george's beneficiary for this death claim
Answer: An amount equal to the face value of the policy, MINUS the overdue premiums and any interest or late penalties George owed them
Explanation:
Grace Periods are usually included in Life Insurance policies to safeguard the client in question in case they are late with their payment. This means that should they pay within the grace period they will not lose their coverage.
Normally in Life Insurance, a grace period of 30 days is standard. George died 20 days after his due date which meant that he was still under a grace period and so the Insurance company will still pay out to his beneficiaries but they will deduct all monies owed by George.
Denver Co. recently used 14,000 labor hours to produce 7,500 units. According to manufacturing specifications, each unit is anticipated to take two hours to complete. The company's actual payroll costs were $158,200. If the standard labor cost per hour is $11, Denver's labor efficiency variance is: Question 18 options: $11,300 (U). $11,000 (U). $11,000 (F). $11,300 (F).
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $11,000 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Denver Co. recently used 14,000 labor hours to produce 7,500 units. According to manufacturing specifications, each unit is anticipated to take two hours to complete. The standard labor cost per hour is $11.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (2*7,500 - 14,000)*11
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $11,000 favorable
