Rode Company estimates bad debt expense at 1% of credit sales. The company reported accounts receivable of $100,000 and a pre-adjustment credit balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts account of $2,000 at the end of the current year. During the current year, Rode’s credit sales were $2,000,000. What is the amount of the company’s bad debt expense for the current year?
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of the company’s bad debt expense for the current year
Using this formula
Bad debt expense = Credit Sales Amount × Estimated percentage uncollectible
Let plug in the formula
Bad debt expense = $2,000,000 × 1%
Bad debt expense =$20,000
Therefore the amount of the company’s bad debt expense for the current year will be $20,000
You and a partner are considering the purchase of a convenience store.? The store has annual sales of $500,000 and is paying annual payroll of $100,000. The cost of goods sold every year is $150,000. The firm has miscellaneous expenses (taxes, insurance, garbage, electricity, natural gas, security, maintenance, property taxes, training, advertising, accounting fees, bank charges, etc.) of roughly $68,000 per year. If depreciation is equal to $15,000 per year and the tax rate is equal to 38% then what is the net income?
Answer:
the net income is $103,540
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
= (Annual sales - annual payroll - cost of goods sold - miscellaneous expenses - depreciation expense) × (1 - tax rate)
= ($500,000 - $100,000 - $150,000 - $68,000 - $15,000) × (1 - 38%)
= $103,540
Hence, the net income is $103,540
We simply applied the above formula
The Jackson-Timberlake Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $1.55 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6 percent per year indefinitely. Investors require a return of 14 percent on the company's stock. a. What is the current stock price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What will the stock price be in 3 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What will the stock price be in 7 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
(A) 20.54
(B) 24.46
(C) 30.88
Explanation:
(A) The current stock price can be calculated as follows
Po= 1.55(1+6/100)/(14/100-6/100)
= 1.55(1+0.06)/(0.14-0.06)
= 1.55(1.06)/0.08
=1.643/0.08
= 20.54
(B) The stock price after 3 years can be calculated as follows
Po = 1.55(1+6/100)^4/(14/100-6/100)
= 1.55(1+0.06)^4/(0.14-0.06)
= 1.55(1.06)^4/0.08
= 1.55(1.2624)/0.08
= 1.9567/0.08
= 24.46
(C) The stock price after 7 years can be calculated as follows
Po= 1.55(1+6/100)^8/(14/100-6/100)
= 1.55(1+0.06)^8/(0.14-0.06)
= 1.55(1.06)^8/(0.08)
= 1.55(1.5938)/0.08
= 2.470/0.08
= 30.88
Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:
Answer:
$16,500
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:
As We know that
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory
And, the
Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold
So,
$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold
Therefore, the cost of goods sold is
= $107,000 - $32,100
= $74,900
And, finally the ending inventory is
$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory
$74,900 = $91,400 - ending inventory
So, the ending inventory is
= $91,400 - $74,900
= $16,500
On December 31, 2019, The Bates Company's revenue is $440,000 and expenses total $340,000 before consideration of the following: Accrued wages total $21,000; Accrued revenues total $56,000; Depreciation expense is $27,000; Rental revenue of $7,000 was earned; the rent from a tenant was initially recorded by Bates as unearned rent revenue; The income tax rate is 40% of income before income taxes. What is Bates' net income after consideration of the above information
Answer:
Explanation:
Revenue = $440,000
Expenses = $340000
Accrued wages = $21000
Accrued revenues = $56000
Depreciation exp = $27000
Rental value earned but not recorded = $7000
Income tax rate = 40%
Total revenue = 440000 +56000 + 7000 = $503000
Total expenses = 340000 + 21000 + 27000 = $388000
Income before tax = 503000 - 388000 = $115000
income tax = 115000 x .4 = $46000
Net income = 115000 - 46000 = $69000 .
At the end of the current year, Leer Company reported total liabilities of $319,000 and total equity of $119,000. The company's debt ratio on the last year-end was:___________.
a. 72.8%.
b. 268%.
c. 3-68%.
d. 37.3%.
e. $438,000
Answer:
72.8%
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the total assets
Total assets= Total liabilities + total equity
= $319,000 + $119,000
= $438,000
Therefore the debt ratio can be calculated as follows
= Total liabilities/total assets
= $319,000/$438,000
= 0.728×100
= 72.8%
For a country A, the GDP growth rate is 8 percent and inflation is 4 percent. If the velocity of money remains constant, what is the change in real money balances
Answer:
The change in the real money balance is 12%
Explanation:
As per gievn data
GDP growth rate = 8%
Inflation = 4%
The real money change is as follow
Equation
Delta M + Delta V = Delta P + Delta Y
Where
Delta M = Real money change = ?
Delta V = Change in velocity = 0
Delta P = Inflation rate = 4%
Delta Y = GDP growth rate = 8%
Placing values in the above equation
Delta M + 0 = 4% + 8%
Delta M = 12%
Hence the money balance will increase by 12%.

That is how he found Revinate, a company that helps managers to track reviews so they can make the best business decisions once they have learned what their customers desire. And that is exactly what I would do to choose the kind of company to know about the preferences of my customers.
Revenues and gains included in arriving at net income that do not provide cash.
Answer:
Non-cash revenues.
Explanation:
Non-cash revenues can be defined as revenues and gains included in arriving at net income that do not provide cash.
Basically, on the statement of cash-flow, non-cash revenues are considered not to be a real cash-flow because they don't add to the total inflow of cash.
Some examples of noncash revenues are amortization of premium relating to bonds payable, cash flow from investments that are carried under the equity method, accrued revenues, and gains from disposals of non-current assets.
Cost of goods sold budget Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 785,000 candles for the year. Each candle requires molding. Assume that six minutes are required to mold each candle. If molding labor costs $18 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for the year. Wax is required to produce a candle. Assume 487,125 pounds of material will be purchased during the year. If candle wax costs $1.24 per pound, determine the direct materials purchases for the year. Prepare a cost of goods sold budget for Pasadena Candle Inc. using the information above. Assume the estimated inventories on January 1 for finished goods and work in process were $200,000 and $41,250, respectively and direct materials wax inventory of 16,000 pounds. Also assume the desired inventories on December 31 for finished goods and work in process were $120,000 and $28,500, respectively and direct materials wax inventory of 12,500 pounds. Factory overhead was budgeted at $300,000. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.
Answer:
$2,114,125
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate direct materials purchased.
Direct materials purchased for the year = Candle wax [ 487,125 pounds × $1.24 per pound]
= $604,035
Also,
Direct labor cost budget for the year
= [ 785,000 candles × 6 minutes / 60 mins per hour × $18 per hour]
= $1,413,000
Therefore,
Costs of goods sold budget
Direct materials
Opening inventory on 1 January [16,000 pounds × $1.24 per pound] = $19,840
Add: purchases
$604,035
Less: closing inventory on 31 January [12,500 pounds × $1.24 per pound] = ($15,500)
Cost of direct materials in production = $608,375
Direct labor cost
$1,413,000
Fixed overheads cost
$300,000
Opening work in progress inventory on 1 January
$41,250
Less: closing work in progress inventory on 31, January
($28,500)
Total work in progress during the period
$12,750
Opening finished goods on 1 January
$200,000
Less closing finished goods
($120,000)
$80,000
Cost of goods sold = $608,375 + $1,413,000 + $300,000 - $80,000 - $12,750
= $2,114,125

"The fund is earning a low, but safe, 3% per year. The withdrawals will take place annually starting today. How soon will the fund be exhausted if Debbie withdraws $40,000 each year?"
Answer:
The question is missing the amount that Debbie's fund has, so I looked for similar questions and the number I found was $368,882.
we can use the present value of an annuity due formula to determine how long it will take Debbie to empty her account.
present value of annuity due = (payment / i) x {1 - [1 / (1 + i)ⁿ]} x (1 + i)
368,882 = (40,000 / 0.03) x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]} x (1 + 0.03)
368,882 = 1,333,333.33 x 1.03 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}
368,882 = 1,373,333.33 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}
1 - [1 / (1.03)ⁿ] = 368,882 / 1,373,333.33 = 0.268603398
1 - 0.268603398 = [1 / (1.03)ⁿ]
0.731396601 = 1 / (1.03)ⁿ
1.03ⁿ = 1 / 0.731396601 = 1.367247261
n = log 1.367247261 / log 1.03 = 0.135847062 / 0.012837224 = 10.58 years
Debbie will exhaust the fund in 10.58 years. That means that Debbie will be able to withdraw $40,000 for 10 years, and then the last withdrawal will be lower.

Explain the risks associated with leveling resources, compressing or crashing projects, and imposed durations or "catch-up" as the project is being implemented. Why is it critical to develop a time-phased baseline? Subscribe to unlock
Answer:
Explain the risks associated with leveling resources, compressing or crashing projects, and imposed durations or "catch-up" as the project is being implemented.
a project manager will try to level resources in order to even out the use of resources throughout the whole project, but that can result in a deficit of resources during critical times. E.g. trying to use 25% of resources during each year for a project that lasts 4 years. But some activities require a lot o resources but last a short time, while other activities might last longer and consume fewer resources. a project manager will try to compress a project's schedule because he/she wants to finish early, ideally without affecting the project's scope. The problem with compressing a project is that you might have to skip or eliminate certain activities in order to so so. E.g. a lot of pharmaceutical companies are trying to develop a vaccine that ends the current health crisis, and their rush are not following the appropriate steps. crashing activities refers to trying to finish some critical activity early by assigning more resources to it. The risks of crashing critical activities is that they might not be well done, or it might be too expensive.Why is it critical to develop a time-phased baseline?
Without a well done time-phased baseline, it is very difficult to prepare a project schedule, or at least one that actually works. It is also important because it is very useful for cost control, and projects can easily go out of control and cost more than their budget.

If the interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%, what is the future value of $1 after 2 years? What is the present value of a payment of $1 to be received in 2 years?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%.
a) To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV1= 1*1.088= 1.088
FV2= 1.088*1.108=$1.206
b) To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV=FV/(1+i)^n
PV2= 1/1.108= 0.903
PV1= 0.903/1.088= $0.83
What is the beta for a 2 stock portfolio with a 0.54 weight in Walmart stock and the remainder in Amazon
Answer: 0.73
Explanation:
Walmart Beta = 0.3616
Amazon's beta = 1.1634
The beta of the portfolio will be a weighted average of the portfolio beta;
= (Walmart beta * Walmart weight) + ( Amazon beta * Amazon weight)
= (0.3616 * 0.54) + ( 1.1634 * (1 - 0.54))
= 0.730428
= 0.73

PV= 1,000 / (1.00014^1,825)
PV= $774.54
Diego Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value as required by IFRS. Diego has the following information regarding its inventory. Historical cost $100,000 Estimated selling price 98,000 Estimated costs to complete and sell 3,000 Replacement cost 90,000 What is the amount for inventory that Diego should report on the balance sheet under the lower of cost or net realizable value method
Answer:
$95,000
Explanation:
When a company reports its ending inventory at lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV), it must value its inventory at whichever is lower:
historical cost = $100,000net realizable value = selling price - estimated costs to complete and sell = $98,000 - $3,000 = $95,000since $95,000 is lower, then the company will report its inventory at net realizable value.

Direct material price variance= (10 - 16)*2,300
Direct material price variance= $13,800 unfavorable
Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,500 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,300. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $113,000 and receive $21,300 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,300 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:
Answer:
($18,500)
Explanation:
Book value of manufacturing equipment = $36,500
Current market value of equipment = $21,300
Cost of new machine = $113,000
Cash received from trading old machine = $21,300
Variable manufacturing costs of new machine reduced by $18,300 per year, over the four year
Total increase/decrease in net income = Cost of new machine + Cash received from trading old machine + Reduction in variable manufacturing costs
= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $18,300 × 4
= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $73,200
= ($18,500)
It therefore means that the total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine is $18,500

Dorchester Company had the following balances at the end of 2018 and 2019 respectively: Net Credit Sales - $875,000 for 2018 and $1,032,000 for 2019. Accounts Receivable - $84,000 for 2018 and $107,000 for 2019. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - $4,000 for 2018 and 7,500 for 2019 Calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio to one decimal place.
Answer:Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = 11.50 times
Explanation:
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio is calculated using
Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
Net Credit Sales for 2019 = $1,032,000
Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 = Accounts Receivable in 2018 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2018
= $84,000 - $4,000
= $80,000
Net Accounts Receivable in 2019 = Accounts Receivable in 2019 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2019
= $107,000 - $7,500
= $99,500
Average Accounts Receivable = (Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 + Net Accounts Receivable in 2019) / 2
= ($80,000 + $99,500) / 2
= $179,500 / 2
= $89,750
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales in 2019 / Average Accounts Receivable
= $1,032,000/ $89,750
= 11.498
= 11.50 times

The amount associated with the free parking that Tim must include in his gross income per month is?
Answer:
$80 (in 2020)
Explanation:
I will assume that this question takes place during the current year (2020). An employee is required to include as income all transportation benefits that exceed $270 per month. In this case, free parking is considered a transportation benefit and Tim must report $350 - $270 = $80 as taxable benefits. The exclusion amount varies depending on the year, e.g. it was $265 in 2019.
The amount that should be included in the gross income per month should be $80.
Calculation of the amount:The employee should needed to involved the income in terms of transportation benefits that should be more than $270 per month. Since the free parking should be considered as the transportation benefit
So here the amount associated should be
= $350 - $270
= $80
hence, The amount that should be included in the gross income per month should be $80.

For most consumers, maximizing utility through consumption generally means finding good deals in order to maximize the utility received for each dollar spent. However, some makers of luxury goods believe that their customers actually achieve utility by paying high prices. As a result, lowering prices may lead to reduced sales for the makers of luxury goods. How is this counterintuitive concept rationalized by analysis of consumer behavior and the utility maximization rule
Answer:
The explanation of that situation is below.
Explanation:
To begin with, the most important factor to have in mind in the situation explained above is the fact that we are talking about a "luxury good" and therefore that when it comes to this type of goods is better when the majority of the people do not possess or at least they must represent the fact that they are exclusive for only some part of the population. That is why that those goods use the strategy of increase always the price because that will means that they are not affordable for the majority of the society but only for a few and that will give to the owner of the good a sense of uniqueness and with that it also comes the sense of superiority. That is why that when it comes to this type of good the analysis change and it collides with the other theory of utility maximation.
