Answer:
Debit a stockholder equity
Explanation:
The error in the entry here is that the either the asset asset is over debited with $80 or the liability account under credited with $80 (700-620)
While the asset account should have debit balances , The liability account and the stockholders equity should have credit balances.
A credit of $80 to the asset account means that the excess has been removed while a credit of $80 to another liability account provides for the shortage in the initial entry.
A credit of $80 to the stockholders account means that the shortage as a result of the error in the initial entries also been addressed.
Therefore the incorrect option is a debit entry of $80 to the stockholders equity account .
Important provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Multiple Choice encourage the destruction of financial documents. approve corporate loans to directors of the company. encourage outside CPA firms to deliver several services to their clients, including auditing services and consulting services. require the CEO and CFO of corporations to certify the accuracy of financial reports.
Answer: require the CEO and CFO of corporations to certify the accuracy of financial reports.
Explanation:
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed by the US Congress in the wake of the devastating crisis that engulfed the financial world as a result of the dodgy accounting practices of Enron, WorldCom and Tyco amongst others to protect the Public from acts by companies that would seek to deceive and mislead the public in terms of Accounting and Corporate disclosures.
One of the provisions was that Top Executives such as the CEO and the CFOs of companies personally certify the accuracy of the Financial reports. By doing this they can take personal responsibility and if they make a false certification willingly, they could be prosecuted and jailed.

Required:
Hemming uses a periodic inventory system. Assume that ending inventory is consists of 45 nits from the March 14 purchase, 75 units from the July 30 purchase, and all 100 units from the October 26 purchase. Using the specific identification method calculate the (a) cost of goods sold and (b) the gross profit.
Answer:
a) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale minus ending inventory = $18,750 - $4,675 = $14,075
b) Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $35,200 - 14,075 = $21,125
Explanation:
a) Sales:
Jan. 10 Sales, 150 units at $40 = $6,000
Mar. 15 Sales, 300 units at $40 = 12,000
Oct. 5 Sales, 430 units at $40 = 17,200
Total sales = $35,200
b) Determination of Ending Inventory:
March 14 purchase 45 units x $15 = $675
July 30 purchase 75 units x $20 = $1,500
October 26 purchase 100 units x $25 = $2,500
Total cost of Ending Inventory $4,675
c) Specific Identification Method:
These inventory costing methods are used to ascertain the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory values. Using periodic inventory, the valuation is done at the end of the period. They are FIFO (First-In-First-Out) method, LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) method, weighted average method, and specific identification method. These methods can be applied under perpetual inventory system or periodic inventory system. The difference is in the timing of the valuation activity.

From 2010 to 2011, nation A's real GDP increased from $100 billion to $106 billion and its population grew from 50 million to 51 million. As a result, real GDP per capita _____ because real GDP rose _____ than the population.
Answer:
As a result, real GDP per capita WILL INCREASE because real GDP rose MORE than the population.
Explanation:
increase in real GDP = $106 - $101 = $5 billion, or 4.95%
population increase = 51 - 50 = 1 million people, or 2%
real GDP per capita 2010 = $101,000 / 50 = $2,020
real GDP per capita 2011 = $106,000 / 51 = $2,078
since the real GDP increased by almost 5%, while the population increased only by 2%, the real GDP per capita will increase by 2.9%

Suppose a firm’s sales for the year = $1200 and its average receivables balance is $200. What is the firm’s Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio, expressed in days (not times per year)?
Answer:
61 days
Explanation:
Accounts receivable turn over ratio is an efficiency ratio that is used to calculate how efficiently a company is receiving its sales on account payments . This measures the number of times in a period that a company collects its average accounts receivable.
When expressed in days , it reveals the number of days it takes a sales on account customer to make payment
Workings
Annual sales = 1200
Average receivable balance = 200
Receivable turnover ratio = Annual sales /average receivable balance
1200/ 200 = 6
Account receivable turnover ratio in days = 365/receivable turnover ration
365/6 = 60.8 days = approximately 61 days
This shows that it takes a customer approximately 61 days to pay their purchase on account which
Cherokee Spring Mill produces four varieties of corn meal based on how finely the corn is ground. The mill makes long production runs of high volume. Cherokee Spring Mill uses a(n) _____ process.
Answer:
The correct answer is "continuous"
Explanation:

Big Canyon Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 17 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and a price of $969. At this price, the bonds yield 8.1 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds?
Answer:
7.8%
Explanation:
For computing the coupon rate first we have to determine the PMT by using the PMT formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $969
Future value or Face value = $1,000
RATE =8.1%
NPER = 17 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the PMT is $77.58
Now the coupon rate is
= $77.58 ÷ $1,000
= 7.8%
LeBron James (LBJ) Corporation agrees on January 1, 2020, to lease equipment from Wildhorse, Inc. for 3 years. The lease calls for annual lease payments of $21,000 at the beginning of each year. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor does it contain a bargain purchase option, and is not a specialized asset. In addition, the useful life of the equipment is 10 years, and the present value of the lease payments is less than 90% of the fair value of the equipment. This lease is properly classified as an operating lease. The credit to Lease Liability on December 31, 2020 is ________.
Answer:
interest expense 4,881.08 debit
lease liability 4,881.08 credit
Explanation:
We solve for the present value of the lease payment and with that we solve forthe interest accrued during the period which will be interest expense debit and lease liability credit.

A company had net sales of $21,500 and ending accounts receivable of $2,700 for the current period. Its days' sales uncollected equals: (Use 365 days a year.) Multiple Choice 8.0 days. 58.9 days. 45.8 days. 7.4 days. 45.2 days.
Answer:
45.8 days
Explanation:
The computation of the days sales uncollected is shown below:
But before that first we need to find out the inventory turnover ratio which is
Inventory turnover ratio = Sales ÷ Accounts receivable
= $21,500 ÷ $2,700
= 7.96 times
Now Days sales uncollected is
= 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 7.96
= 45.8 days
We simply applied the above formulas
Polk Software Inc. has a quick ratio of 2.00, $29,475 in cash, $16,375 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $65,500, and total current liabilities of $22,925. The company reported annual sales of $500,000, and cost of goods sold equal to 75% of sales in the most recent annual report. Over the past year, how often did Polk Software Inc. sell and replace its inventory?
Answer:
Inventory Turnover = 19.08 times
Inventory Days = 19.13 days
Explanation:
Polk Software Inc.
Quick ratio 2.00,
Cash $29,475
Accounts receivable $16,375
Inventory= ?= $19650
Total current assets $65,500
Total current liabilities $22,925
Annual sales $500,000,
Cost of Goods Sold 75% of sales= $375,000
Quick Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory/Current liabilities
Quick Ratio *Current liabilities= Current Assets - Inventory
2* $22,925= $65,500- Inventory
45850 = $65,500- Inventory
$65,500-45850= Inventory
Inventory = $19650
Inventory Turnover = Cost Of Good Sold/ Average Inventory
We take the current inventory as the average inventory
Inventory Turnover = $ 375,000/ 19650= 19.08 times
Inventory Turnover tells us that how often the inventory is converted to sales.
High inventory turnover means how often inventory is converted to sales .
Inventory Days = 365/inventory Turnover = 365/19.08 = 19.13 days
Inventory days means the average number of days the company holds ints inventory before it is sold.
g A particular brand of toothpaste costs 4 British pounds in London. The nominal exchange rate is .80 and the real exchange rate is about 1.16. These numbers imply that the U.S. price of the same toothpaste is about a. $5.79 b. $4.29 c. $3.70 d. $2.76
Answer:
The answer is option (d)$2.76
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The cost of a particular brand of toothpaste = 4 pounds
The exchange rate = .80
Real exchange rate = 1.16
Now
Real exchange rate is given as:
R = real exchange rate
e = nominal exchange rate
PF = foreign price
P = domestic price
Suppose we say that U.S. is a domestic country and British is a foreign country we have the following formula below:
R = e(PF/P)
R = 1.16
e = 0.80
PF = 4
Thus
R = e(PF/P)
1.16 = 0.80(4/P)
P = 3.2/1.16
= 2.7586207
= $2.76
Therefore, The U.S rice of the same toothpaste is about $2.76

Explanation:
Skolits Corp. issued 20-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 8.9 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 110 percent of par value, what is the YTM
Answer:
The YTM is 7.85%
Explanation:
Since 20 year bonds were issued 2 years ago,
Time to Maturity = 18 years
Coupon Rate = 8.9%
Lets assume that the par value of the bond is $100
The bonds make semi-annual payments,
Therefore, number of periods = 18 × 2 = 36
Semi-annual Coupon =( 8.9% × 100 ) / 2 = $4.45
Current Value of Bond = 110% of par value = 1.1 × 100 = $110
YTM is the discount rate which makes the present value of all the future cash flows equal to the current value of the bond, that is $110 , which means
110 = [tex]4.45/(1+r)^1[/tex] + [tex]4.45/(1+r)^2[/tex] + ... + [tex]4.45/(1+r)^{35[/tex] + [tex]104.45/(1+ r)^{36[/tex]
where, r is YTM/2
