A company purchased land for $82,000 cash. Commissions of $8,000, property taxes of $8,500, and title insurance of $2,200 were also incurred. The $8,500 in property taxes includes $5,400 in back taxes paid by the company on behalf of the seller and $3,100 due for the current year after the purchase date. For what amount should the company record the land
Answer:
the amount that company should record the land is $97,600
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that company should record the land is shown below:
The Amount should be recorded for land is
= Purchase price + Commission + Property tax paid on behalf of seller + Title insurance
= $82,000 + $8,000 + $5,400 + $2,200
= $97,600
hence, the amount that company should record the land is $97,600
A government had the following transfers reported in its governmental funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances: (1) a transfer from the General Fund to a debt service fund in the amount of $1,100,000; and (2) a transfer from the General Fund to a special revenue fund in the amount of $500,000. The amount that would be shown as a transfer out in the governmental activities column in the Statement of Activities would be: $0. $500,000. $1,100,000. $1,600,000.
Answer:
The amount that would be shown as a transfer out in the governmental activities column in the Statement of Activities would be:
= $0.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Transfer from the General Fund to a debt service fund = $1,100,000
Transfer from the General Fund to a special revenue fund = $500,000
Transfer out = $0
b) The transfers of $1,100,000 to the Debt Service Fund and $500,000 to the Special Revenue Fund are Internal Service funds involving governmental activities. They are unlike enterprise funds that reach the control of the government's internal services. In this case, therefore, there is no transfer out, as the transfers were within or internal.
Pierre, a cash basis, unmarried taxpayer, had $1,700 of state income tax withheld during 2020. Also in 2020, Pierre paid $425 that was due when he filed his 2019 state income tax return and made estimated payments of $1,190 towards his 2020 state income tax liability. When Pierre files his 2020 Federal income tax return in April 2021, he elects to itemize deductions, which amount to $17,450, including the state income tax payments and withholdings, all of which reduce his taxable income. a. What is Pierre's 2020 state income tax deduction
Answer:
$3,315
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Pierre's 2020 state income tax deduction
Using this formula.
2020 state income tax deduction=State income tax withheld+State income tax return amount due+State income tax liability
Let plug in the formula
2020 state income tax deduction=$1700+$425+$1190
2020 state income tax deduction=$3,315
Therefore Pierre's 2020 state income tax deduction is $3,315
The average variable costs of a company are equal to $20 per unit produced at its current level of output in the short run. Its average fixed costs are equal to $30 per unit produced. The total costs at this output level are equal to $2,500.
Required:
a. What is the company’s current output level?
b. What are the total variable costs at this output level?
c. What are the total fixed costs?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the number of units produced:
Number of units= total cost/ average unitary cost
Number of units= 2,500 / (20 + 30)
Number of units= 50 units
Now, the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= 50*20
Total variable cost= $1,000
Finally, the fixed costs:
Fixed cost= 50*30
Fixed cost= $1,500
Robert Company, which allocates overhead to production on the basis of machine hours, reported the following data for the period just ended:
Actual units produced: 12,000
Actual variable overhead incurred: $77,770
Actual machine hours worked: 18,800
Standard variable overhead cost per machine hour: $4.50
Robert estimates that it takes 1.5 hours to manufacture a completed unit.
Required:
Compute all standards & variances. Prepare all journal entries using standard costing.
Answer:
Variable overhead rate variance = Actual Variable overhead incurred - Actual Hours of Input, at Standard Rate
Variable overhead rate variance = ($4.5*18800 - $77,700)
Variable overhead rate variance = $6,900 Favorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance = Actual Hours of Input, at Standard Rate - Standard Hours allowed for Actual Output at Standard Rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (12000*1.5 - $18,800)*$4.5 =
Variable overhead efficiency variance = $3,600 Unfavorable
Variable overhead cost variance = Actual Variable overhead incurred - Standard Hours allowed for Actual Output at Standard Rate
Variable overhead cost variance = (12000*1.5*$4.5) - $77,700
Variable overhead cost variance = $3,300 Favorable
Bacchus Enterprises has $12B in book value of common stock selling at a book to market rate of 1.35 and a beta of 1.5. The combined preferred stock is valued at $8.5B with a beta of 1.23. The restructured debt has a book value of $4.8B in book value and has a coupon of 6%, maturing in 9 years, and selling at 102.5%. The market is doing quite well and is returning 14% with a risk free asset returning 4%. What is the Cost of Preferred Stock
Answer: 16.3%
Explanation:
Given the details in the question, the cost of preferred capital can be calculated using the CAPM method.
Cost of preferred stock using the Capital Asset Pricing Model is:
= Risk free rate + Beta * ( Market return - Risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.23 * (14% - 4%)
= 16.3%
When the sales department needs to hire more staff, the corporate skills inventory system was used to determine if any current employees had the skills needed for the new position. This is an example of :________. .
Answer: Internal recruiting
Explanation:
Internal recruiting is when an organization fills its vacancies from its existing workforce.
In this case, rather than looking for applicants to the position outside the company, the company fills the available position with some of its staff. On the other hand, external recruitment is when the position is filled by outsiders.
A company had credit sales of $46,000 and cash sales of $18,000 during the month of May. Also during May, the company paid wages of $16,000 and utilities of $5800. It also received payments from customers on account totaling $15,800. At the beginning of May, the company had a cash balance of $25,000. What is the company's cash balance at the end of May
Answer:
the cash balance at the end of May is $37,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cash balance at the end of May is shown below:
= Opening cash balance + cash sales + received payment - paid wages - utilities
= $25,000 + $18,000 + $15,800 - $16,000 - $5,800
= $37,000
Hence, the cash balance at the end of May is $37,000
We simply applied the above formula to determine the cash balance at the end of May

A quality analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are in control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results.
Machine 1 Measirement 17 15 15 17
Machine 2 Measurement 16 25 18 25
Machine 3 Measurement 23 24 23 22
What are the Mean chart three-sigma upper and lower control limits?
a. 22 and 18
b. 23.16 and 16.84
c. 22.29 and 16.71
d. 23.5 and 16.5
e. 24 and 16
Answer:
b. 23.16 and 16.84
Explanation:
Mean (X-bar) = Sum of observations / No of observations
Range (R) = Highest observation - Lowest observation
Machine 1
Mean (X-bar) = (17 + 15 + 15 + 17) / 4
Mean (X-bar) = 16
Range (R) = (17 - 15)
Range (R) = 2
Machine 2
Mean (X-bar) = (16 + 25 + 18 + 25) / 4
Mean (X-bar) = 21
Range (R) = (25 - 16)
Range (R) = 9
Machine 3
Mean (X-bar) = (23 + 24 + 23 + 22) / 4
Mean (X-bar) = 23
Range (R) = (24 - 22)
Range (R) = 2
Mean of means (X-double bar) = Sum of X-bar / Number of samples = (16 + 21 + 23) / 3 = 20
Mean of ranges (R-bar) = Sum of R / Number of samples = (2 + 9 + 2) / 3 = 4.33
From table of constants for calculating the 3-sigma upper and lower control limits, For n = 4, A2 = 0.729
UCL = X-double bar + (A2 x R-bar)
UCL = 20 + (0.729 x 4.33)
UCL = 23.1566
UCL = 23.16
LCL = X-double bar - (A2 x R-bar)
LCL = 20 - (0.729 x 4.33)
LCL = 16.8434
LCL = 16.84
Jonathan has a debt of $3,000 that needs to be repaid with 3 annual equal principal repayments with interest on the outstanding balance. The debt has an annual effective interest rate of 8%. In order to match his payment obligations exactly, Jonathan decides to purchase the following zero coupon bonds. Time to Maturity Par Value 1 year $1,000 2 years $ 800 3 years $ 900 Calculate the number of units of the 3-year bond Jonathan should buy, assuming fractional purchase is possible
Answer:
Jonathan
The number of units of the 3-year bond that Jonathan should buy is:
3.88 or 3 and 22/25 bonds.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Present value of debt = $3,000
Annual effective interest rate = 8%
Total future value of the debt with interest = $3,492.30
Equal annual repayment of the debt = $1,164.10 ($3,492.30/3)
Number of 3-year bond that Jonathan should buy = $3,492.30/$900 = 3.88 or 3 and 22/25 bonds
Time to Maturity Par Value
1 year $1,000
2 years $ 800
3 years $ 900
From an online calculator, the total amount to be paid with interest is $3,492.30:
N (# of periods) 3
I/Y (Interest per year) 8
PV (Present Value) 3000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PMT = $1,164.10
Sum of all periodic payments $3,492.30
Total Interest $492.30
Answer:
1.2
Explanation:
Given that we are making 3 Equal Principle Payments on a loan of $3000, the principle that we will repay each year will be [tex]\frac{3000}{3} = $1000[/tex].
First Year:
The interest that we will need to repay during the first year will be 3000*.08 which will be $240 dollars of interest, so we will be paying a total of 1000 + 240, or $1240 for the first year reducing the amount due to $2000.
Second Year:
The interest that we will need to repay during the second year will be 2000*.08 which will be $160 of interest, so we will be paying a total of 1000 + 160, or $1160 which will reduce the amount due $1000.
Third Year:
This is the year that we care for. We have a total interest amount of $80, so we will be paying a total of $1080 for the third year.
Given that the par value of the Zero Coupon bond for the third year is $900, we will need [tex]\frac{1080}{900} = 1.2[/tex] coupons for the final year, giving us our answer of 1.2 3-year bonds that Jonathan should buy.

A store has the following sales for the next three month: May $ 240,000 June $ 200,000 July $ 190,000 Cash sales are 25% and all the remaining credit sales (75%) are collected in the month following the sale. The total amount of cash expected to be collected from customers in July is
Answer:
$197,500
Explanation:
Calculation for July cash collections
Cash collection = $ 190,000 x 25 % + $ 200,000 x 75 %
= $197,500
The total amount of cash expected to be collected from customers in July is $197,500.
Coronado Industries reported the following year-end information: Beginning work in process inventory $ 25000 Beginning raw materials inventory 9000 Ending work in process inventory 28000 Ending raw materials inventory 6000 Raw materials purchased 560000 Direct labor 210000 Manufacturing overhead 120000 How much is Coronado’s total cost of work in process for the year?
Answer:
$890,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of work in process is shown below
But before that following calculations are needed
Cost of Raw material consumed = Beginning inventory + Raw material purchased - Closing inventory
= $9,000 + $560,000 - $6,000
= $563,000
And,
Cost of manufacturing = Cost of raw material consumed + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $563,000 + $210,000 + $120,000
= $893,000
Now
Cost of work in progress = Beginning WIP inventory - Ending WIP inventory + Cost of manufacturing
= $25,000 - $28,000 + $893,000
= $890,000

Tamarisk, Inc. purchased a delivery truck for $29,200 on January 1, 2020. The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,200, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 8 years. Actual miles driven were 16,100 in 2020 and 12,800 in 2021.
1. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.
2. Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double- declining-balance method.
3. Prepare the journal entry to record 2020 depreciation.
4. Assume that Marigold uses the straight-line method. Show how the truck would be reported in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet.
Answer:
1. Depreciation expense per mile = $0.27 per mile
2-1. The straight-line method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $3,375
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,375
2-2. Units-of-activity method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $4,347
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,456
2-3. The double-declining-balance method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,300
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $5,475
3. See the journal entries below.
4. Net book value = $25,825
Explanation:
1. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.
Depreciation expense per mile = (Purchase price delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Expected driven miles = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 100,000 = $0.27 per mile
2. Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double- declining-balance method.
2-1. The straight-line method
Annual depreciation expense = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 8 = $3,375
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375
Depreciation expense for 2021 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375
2-2. Units-of-activity method
Depreciable amount = Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value = $29,200 - $2,200 = $27,000
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2020 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (16,100 / 100,000) = $4,347
Depreciation expense for 2021 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2021 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (12,800 / 100,000) = $3,456
2-3. The double-declining-balance method
Straight-line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.1250, or 12.50%
Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = Straight-line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Purchase price of the delivery truck * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = $29,200 * 25% = $7,300
Depreciation expense for 2021 = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Depreciation expense for 2020) * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = ($29,200 - $7,300) * 25% = $5,475
3. Prepare the journal entry to record 2020 depreciation.

Using the average-cost method, the amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 is
Answer:
Ending inventory cost= $599
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
June 1 150 units $ 390 (2.6)
June 10 200 units 585 (2.93)
June 15 200 units 630 (3.15)
June 28 150 units 495 (3.3)
Ending inventory in units= 200

Answer: c. vertical, which implies that monetary and fiscal policies cannot influence the level of unemployment in the long run.
Explanation:
The Phillip Curve is used to show that unemployment and inflation have an inverse relationship such that when inflation is increasing, unemployment is decreasing. Fiscal and monetary policies can be used to increase or decrease inflation and unemployment.
In the long run however, the Philips Curve is vertical which means that unemployment will no longer be affected by fiscal and monetary policies that aim to impart inflation because the economy will be at the natural rate of unemployment.
