Exercise 2-12 Analyzing and journalizing transactions involving receipt of cash LO P1 Following are transactions for Valdez Services, a company owned by Brina Valdez. Brina Valdez invested $20,000 cash in the company. The company provided services to a client and immediately received $900 cash. The company received $10,000 cash from a client in payment for services to be provided next year. The company received $3,500 cash from a client in partial payment of accounts receivable. The company borrowed $5,000 cash from the bank by signing a note payable. 1. Prepare general journal entries for the above transactions of Valdez Services
Answer:
Valdez Services Company
General Journal:
Debit Cash Account $20,000
Credit Common Stock $20,000
To record the investment of Brina Valdez.
Debit Cash Account $900
Credit Service Revenue $900
To record the cash receipt from a customer.
Debit Cash Account $10,000
Credit Deferred Service Revenue $10,000
To record the cash receipt from a customer for services to be provided next year.
Debit Cash Account $3,500
Credit Accounts Receivable $3,500
To record the cash receipt from a customer on account.
Debit Cash Account $5,000
Credit Bank Notes Payable $5,000
To record the borrowing of cash with a note payable.
Explanation:
These journal entries record the cash receipt transactions which the company has witnessed as they occur on a daily basis. The procedure is to first identify the two accounts involved in each transaction. Since the Cash account is always receiving the values, and is debited, the accounts giving the values are credited. The general journal records all kinds of business transactions. It is distinguishable from more specialized journals like the cash receipts journal, used for accumulating cash receipts for a particular period, say a day, before the total is posted to the general ledger while the individual accounts are posted to the affected accounts.
During a Value-Added Flow Analysis, the team studied a process step where they checked the customer's credit. What is the best label for this step?
Answer:
Non-Value-Adding but required.
Explanation:
A Value-Added flow analysis is a graphical visualization tool that is used for identifying non-essential activities or steps within a process. It basically, allows individuals or team to analyze, identify and separate value-adding activities from non-value-adding activities or steps in an organization. This simply means that, it avails an organization or business the ability to separate activities that add value for the user from the activities that are non-value-adding.
The value-adding activities are the steps that adds value to an organization's product or project while the non-value-adding activities are those steps which do not add any value to the organization's product.
In this scenario, during a value-added flow analysis, the team studied a process step where they checked the customer's credit. The best label for this step is Non-value-adding but required.
The process of checking a customer's credit is a necessary task or a required step but in the real sense of lean, it is considered as a non-value-adding activity. This is simply because, it is required to check the customer's credit in order to update the balance sheet and to know the amount that is granted to these customers.
However, it does not add any value to the organization.
1. Write about whether or not you believe productivity would go up, down, or stay the same in an enterprise where the workers are owners versus a traditional workplace. How would this affect GDP, inflation, and other macroeconomic variables
Answer:
Productivy would go up only as long as some of the workers can become competent managers.
Explanation:
The problem with worker ownership of the means of production (the firm), which is what socialism is about, is that workers do not necessarily have managerial skill, and as result, are likely to be unable to run the company efficiently.
In case this does not happen, and the workers manage to run the company well, GDP would increase because productivity in the firm would rise. Inflation would likely fall down because more productivity means more output of goods and services, and inflation tends to have a inverse relationship with output (although it also depends on other variables like the rate of growth of the money supply).
Finally, another macroeconomic variable that would positively affected is employment rate, because a more efficient company would likely require new workers.

A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 4.3 percent. The bond price was $945.46 at the beginning of the year and $976.26 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.2 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the bond's real return for the year we would have to calculate the following formula:
bond's real return for the year=(1+Nominal rate of return)/(1+Inflation) -1
According to the given data Inflation=2.2 percent
To calculate the Nominal rate of return we would have to calculate the following:
Nominal rate of return=(Selling price + Interest coupon - Purchase price)/Purchase price
According to the given data:
Selling price=$976.26
Interest coupon=$43
Purchase price=$945.46
Therefore, Nominal rate of return=($976.26 + $43 - $945.46)/ $945.46
Nominal rate of return=7.81%
Therefore, bond's real return for the year= (1+7.81%)/(1+2.2%) -1
bond's real return for the year=5.49%
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
If Galaxia has a GDP that is 10 times larger than Myopia, which country would likely have greater marginal returns to capital based on the law of diminishing returns to capital
Answer:
Myopia
Explanation:
The law of marginal returns states that as the total amount of any production factor increases, the output per unit of that factor will start to decrease. In other words, the marginal output or return from that factor will decrease. E.g. if you invest $100 in a small business, you will require a very high rate of return. If instead, you invest $1,000 in corporate bonds, you will only obtain moderate to low yields.
In this case, $1,000 invested in Myopia (smaller economy) should return a higher yield than $1,000 invested in Galaxia. Also, the $1,000 invested in Myopia will have a larger economic effect than the $1,000 invested in Galaxia.

They form a corporation named New Brew Inc., issuing stock only to the 21 of them and not selling any stock outside the group. The beer is a huge success, and they soon need to expand. They decide to sell stock to members of the public to raise capital. What type of corporation is New Brew before the sale of stock to the public
Answer: Private Limited Company
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Burt has come across an excellent recipe for a new beer, and he and 20 college friends decide to go into business and they form a corporation named New Brew Inc., issuing stock only to the 21 of them and not selling any stock outside the group.
We are further told that the beer is a huge success, and they soon need to expand and decide to sell stock to members of the public to raise capital.
Before the sale of stock to the public, the corporation is a private limited company. The limited number of shareholders in this type of business is 50 and it does not trade its shares publicly.

4-a. Compute the variable cost per hour and the fixed cost per hour at 600 hours of activity.
Variable cost per hour $
Fixed cost per hour $
Answer:
Instructions are below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 520 $ 4,470
February 490 4,260
March 300 2,820
April 500 4,350
May 310 2,960
June 480 4,200
July 320 3,000
August 400 3,600
September 470 4,050
October 350 3,300
November 340 3,160
December 320 3,030
A) To calculate the fixed and variable costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,470 - 2,820) / (520 - 300)
Variable cost per unit= $7.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,470 - (7.5*520)
Fixed costs= $570
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,820 - (7.5*300)
Fixed costs= $570
B)
Total cost= 570 + 7.5x
x= hours of mantainance
C) x= 590
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*590
TC= $4,995
D) x= 600
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*600
TC= $5,070
Swifty snowboards converts regulat snowboards by adding outriggers and seats so that people who use wheel chairs can snowboard. the income statement for lasst yeaar in which 500 snowboards were produced and sold, appears here.
Revenue $150,000
Expenses:
Variable production costs $60,000
Fixed production costs 25,000
Variable selling and administration 10,000
Fixed selling and administration 35,000 130,000
$20.000
Income
Required:
A. What vołume of snowboards must be sold to ean pretax profits of $30,000?
B. Snowbird's supplier of snowboards is unable to ship more than 500 boards for the upcoming season. Snowbird has been paying the supplier $85 for each snowboard. (The cost of the snowboards is incłuded in variable production costs). More expensive snowboards are available from other manufacturers for conversion. If Snowbird's managers expect to sell more than 500 converted snowboards in the upcoming season, what is the most they would be willing to pay outside suppliers for each additional snowboard?
C. Suppose Snowbird pays the price you calculated in part (B) and sells an additional 200 snowboards. What is the commany's incremental profit on the 200 snowboards?
Answer:
A. 563 snowboards
B. $120
C. Incremental Profit:$32,000
Explanation:
Volume to meet target profit = (Target Profit + Fixed Cost) / Contribution per unit
Calculation of Contribution per unit
Revenue $150,000
Less Variable Costs ;
Variable production costs ($60,000)
Variable selling and administration ($10,000)
Contribution $80,000
Contribution per unit = $80,000 / 500 snowboards
= $160
Volume to meet target profit = ($30,000 + $25,000 + $35,000) / $160
= 562.50 or 563 snowboards
For the Additional Snowboats,Snowbird's managers are willing to pay a price close to cost of making the regular snowboards internally.
Cost of Making :
Variable production costs ($60,000 / 500) = $120
Total Cost = $120
Therefore, Snowbird's managers are willing to pay $120
For Incremental Profit or Loss, prepare a differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards.
Differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards
Sales (200 snowboards × $300) $60,000
Less Incremental Production Costs ( 200 × $120) ($24,000)
Less Incremental selling and administration (200 × $20) ($4,000)
Incremental Profit $32,000
An estimate of the money and paperwork spent complying with environmental regulations could be compared to the advantages of cleaning up pollution. This method of determining the value of the environment is known as __________.
Answer:
Contingent valuation.
Explanation:
An estimate of the money and paperwork spent complying with environmental regulations could be compared to the advantages of cleaning up pollution. This method of determining the value of the environment is known as contingent valuation.
Contingent valuation can be defined as a survey based method which is typically used to determine the economic value of a non-market resource such as the impact of pollution and preservation of the environment.
This ultimately implies that, contingent valuation is used for the valuation of resources and goods that are not being traded in marketplaces. Therefore, it is mostly related to the environmental and natural resources found around us on planet Earth.
Generally, this environmental and natural resources usually do not have a market price but various individuals derive utility or satisfaction from them.
Hence, the contingent valuation method is aimed at seeking people's opinions by asking questions on how much money they're willing to pay or receive for the preservation of an environmental resource.
For instance, many people derive pleasure from visiting tourist attractions sites such as zoo, recreational facilities, parks etc and would be willing to pay for this natural resources.
The credit purchase of a new oven for $5,100 was posted to Kitchen Equipment as a $5,100 debit and to Accounts Payable as a $5,100 debit. What effect would this error have on the trial balance
Answer:
The answer is:
The effect on the trial balance is that the total Debit side will be higher the total of the Credit side of the trial balance by $10,200
Explanation:
The effect on the trial balance is that the total Debit side will be higher the total of the Credit side of the trial balance by $10,200.
Two entries of $5,100 each have been entered on the debit column of the trial balance instead of one $5,100 in debit column and the other $5,100 in the credit column. This means the debit side would have $10,200 higher than the credit side since nothing was recorded there.
Dazzle, Inc. produces beads for jewelry making use. The following information summarizes production operations for June. The journal entry to record June production activities for direct labor usage is:Direct materials used $87,000Direct labor used 160,000Predetermined overhead rate (based on direct labor)155%Goods transferred to finished goods 432,000Cost of goods sold 444,000Credit sales 810,000a.

Answer:
b. Debit Work in Process Inventory $160,000; credit Factory Payroll Payable $160,000.
Explanation:
In order to record the cost of goods manufactured, once the goods are finished, you add up all the work in process debits. The following journal entry would be:
Dr Finished goods inventory
Cr Work in process inventory (all added up)
In this case, since you are recording labor usage, you must also credit wages or payroll payable (that correspond to the amount of labor used to manufacture the goods).
Cullumber, Inc., has outstanding bonds that will mature in six years and pay an 8 percent coupon semiannually. If you paid $1,033.85 today and your required rate of return was 6.6 percent.
A. How much should you have paid for the bond?B. Worth of the bond is?
Answer:
The worth of the bond is $1068.44
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Supposed that the face of the bond is $1000
Thus
The semiannual coupon payment = 1000*8%*6/12
= 40 (semiannual period in a year comprising of 6 months each)
Then
Semiannual periods = 6 years *2
=12
The semiannual yield = 6.6*6/12
= 3.3%
So,
The present value of bond = (PVA3.3%,12*semiannual coupon payment) + (PVF3.3%,12*Face value)
=(9.77808*40) + (.67732*1000)
=391.12+ 677.32
=$1068.44
The worth of the bond is $1068.44
nnote: Find present value factor using the formula 1/(1+i)^n
(Where i = 3.3%, n= 12 ) or using financial calculator by putting i = 3.3%,n=12 and FV= 1
Also, Find present value annuity factor using the formula [1/(1+i)^1 +1/(1+i)^2 +......+(1+i)^11+1/(1+i)^12 ] or using financial calculator where i = 3.3%,n= 12 and PMT =1
"An order for a New York Stock Exchange listed issue is routed by the member firm to a Third Market Maker rather than to the exchange floor. This practice is:"
Answer: Permitted if the price offered by the Third Market Maker is better.
Explanation:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that when executing trades, the trader should seek for execution at the best market. This means that the trader should trade in the market that is most price efficient.
Should the stock in question be available for trade in various markets, best practice would indicate that the dealer find the market that is offering the best prices and route the order to it.
During the month, merchandise is sold for $80,500 cash and for $119,000 on account. The cost of merchandise sold is $101,500. What is the amount of revenue? a.$199,500 b.$80,500 c.$119,000 d.$101,500
Answer:
Value of revenue = $98,000
Explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the revenue.
Firstly, we add the sales on cash with the sales on account.
Mathematically that would be;
80,500 + 119,000 = $199,500
The value of the revenue = Amount in sales - cost of merchandise = 199,500-101,500 = $98,000
Explain how the Federal Reserve Board can increase or decrease the money supply using each of the following tools: reserve requirements, open-market activities, and discount rates
Answer:
Reserve requirements – Reserve requirement increases to decrease the money supply or vice versa.
Open-market activities – the Fed sell the securities to reduce money supply or purchase it to increase the money supply.
Discount rates – Decrease the discount rate to increase the money supply or vice versa.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve increases or decreases the money supply by using various tools. So in the case of the reserve requirement, the bank increases the percentage of reserve requirement if the Fed wants to decrease the money supply and to increase the money supply it reduces the reserve requirements. In the case of open market operations, the Fed sells securities and bonds in the market in order to reduce the supply of money or to decrease the supply of money it buys the securities from the market.
In the case of a discount rate, the Fed reduces the discount rate to increase the money supply because reducing the discount rate will induce the banks to give more loans. But to decrease the money supply, the Fed increases the discount rate because an increase in the discount rate reduces the ability of banks to give loans.

Value of Eleanor's new salary after one year The $58 payment as a percentage of Eleanor's new salary Value of Darnell's new salary after one year The $58 payment as a percentage of Darnell's new salary An unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation benefits______ and harms_____ .
Answer:
Scenario 1: Suppose all prices and salaries rise by 5% (as expected) over the course of the year. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 5% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries.
Eleanor's new salary = $200 x 1.05 = $210
Darnell's new salary = $100 x 1.05 = $105
the $58 payment represents:
$58 / $210 = 27.62% of Eleanor's new salary
$58 / $105 = 55.24% of Darnell's new salary
Scenario 2: Consider an unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation. The rise in prices and salaries turns out to be 14% over the course of the year rather than 5%. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 14% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries.
Eleanor's new salary = $200 x 1.14 = $228
Darnell's new salary = $100 x 1.14 = $114
the $58 payment represents:
$58 / $228 = 25.44% of Eleanor's new salary
$58 / $114 = 50.88% of Darnell's new salary
An unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation benefits Darnell and harms Eleanor.
If ZipCar engaged in all the activities discussed in the video, but then sold customer data to a third party in a contradiction of its privacy policy, the company would be considered Multiple Choice socially responsible but not ethical. neither socially responsible nor ethical. socially irresponsible but ethical. both socially responsible and ethical. acting within its rights as a business.
Answer:
The correct option is: both socially responsible and ethical.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that the company sold customer data to a third party, even thought that it engaged in all the other activities as promised, it will make it to be both socially responsible and ethical and that is because in a court the judge will be in favour of the more weak party, that is the customer whose date was sold without his approval to a third party, and therefore that in social terms the company will be guilty. Also, that action will affect the company in terms of ethical because once that it is all known by the customers whose date was sold then they will start a campaign in order to destroy the company's ethical image by the public and that will cause a huge decrease in the sales.
T-mobile would like to increase spending to acquire customers. Jessica, the head of marketing department, knows that 20% of customers leave company every year based on data and simulation. She does not want to overspend so she decide to acquire customers whose CLV equals or exceeds $5000. If Karly is expected to bring $2000 annual margin, the company should not spend more than ___________________ to acquire her as a new customer. Assume that the company's discount rate is 20% per year. Group of answer choices A. $500 B. $800 C. $1000 D. $1200 E. $1500
Answer:
C. $1000
Explanation:
Given that;
20% of customers leave company every year
Jessica decide to acquire customers whose CLV equals or exceeds $5000
If Karly is expected to bring $2000 annual margin
assuming that the company's discount rate is 20% /year =0.2/ year
The objective is to determine the amount the company will spend to acquire her (i,e Karly) as a new customer.
The amount the company will spend to acquire her as a new customer is :
= amount of CLV × discount rate
= $5000 × 0.2
= $1000
Thus, the company should not spend more than $1000 to acquire her as a new customer

Answer:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15?
financial advantage of further processing X15 = $10,2062. Should product X15 be processed further or sold at the split-off point?
X15 should be processed furtherExplanation:
processing costs for every batch of X15 (6,300 units) = $54,000 x 1/4 = $13,500
production cost per unit $13,500 / 6,300 = $2.14286 = $2.14 per X15
contribution margin per unit without further processing = $17 - $2.14 = $14.86
costs of further processing $8,700, per unit = $8,700 / 6,300 = $1.38
total costs per unit $2.14 + $1.38 = $3.52
contribution margin with further processing = $20 - $3.52 = $16.48
total financial advantage of further processing X15 = ($16.48 - $14.86) x 6,300 = $10,206

Sheboygan Co. purchased a new vehicle at a cost of $42,000 on July 1. The vehicle is estimated to have a useful life of 6 years and a salvage value of $3,000. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. How much depreciation expense will be recorded for the vehicle during the first year ended December 31?
Answer:
The depreciation at the end of first year = $3250
Explanation:
The cost of a new vehicle on July 1st = $42000
The estimated useful life of vehicle = 6 years
The salvage value of vehicle = $3000
It is given that the company uses the straight-line method for depreciation so we have to calculate the depreciation by subtracting the salvage value from its cost and dividing by years.
Depreciation = ($42000 – $3000) / 6 = $6500
So annual depreciation is $6500.
Therefore depreciation at the end of the first yThe depreciation at the end of first year = $3250ear that is for 6 months = $3250
