Answer:
1. Compute Brooke's net pay for October
Brooke's gross monthly salary = $11,900
- federal income taxes withholdings = ($1,190)
- contribution to United Way = ($595)
- health insurance = ($125)
- social security = 6.2% x $11,900 = ($737.80)
- medicare = 1.45% x $11,900 = ($172.55)
net pay = $9,079.65
2. Journalize the accrual of salaries expense and the payments related to the employment of Brooke Hubert.
We must include here FUTA taxes paid by the employer. In this case, since we are not given the state unemployment (SUTA) tax rate, we can only calculate the federal unemployment tax 6% x $11,900 = $714. Both the employee and employer pays FICA taxes in an equal amount. The amount that is withheld from the employee's paycheck is identified as FICA tax withholding.

Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $24,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $23,600 (inside basis of $11,800) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $39,725. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer:
3425 LOSS
Explanation:
Randolph gain or loss can be calculated as
Gain/loss = Cash distribution + Inventory distribution - Basis in RD
Gain/loss = $24,500 + $11,800 - $39,725
Gain/loss = (3425) LOSS
As You can see RD distributing cash and inventory and they are less than his basis in RD
Production estimates for July are as follows:
Estimated inventory (units), July 1 725
Desired inventory (units), July 31 1, 200
Expected sales volume (units), July 7,500
For each unit produced four hours of direct labor is required. The labor rate per hour is $15. The number of direct labor hours required for July production is:_________
Answer:
31,900
Explanation:
For the computation of the number of direct labor hours required for July production first we need to find out the production in units which is shown below:-
Production in units = Expected sales in Units + Ending Inventory - Beginning inventory
= 7,500 + 1,200 - 725
= 7,975
Total direct labor hours required = Production in units × Hours per unit
= 7,975 × 4
= 31,900
We simply applied the above formulas
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
8. Problems and Applications Q8 The city government is considering two tax proposals: • A lump-sum tax of $300 on each producer of hamburgers. • A tax of $1 per burger, paid by producers of hamburgers. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will increase. Average variable cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Marginal cost will increase. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Average variable cost will increase. Marginal cost will remain unchanged.
Answer:
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax?
Average fixed cost will increase.
Average total cost will increase.
The lump-sum tax of $300 is a one time payment that does not depend on the amount of output, for this reason, it is a fixed cost that is spread over the total quantity of burgers that are produced, and that also affect average total cost.
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax?
Average fixed cost will remain unchanged.
Average total cost will increase.
Average variable cost will increase.
The per-burger tax depends on the quanityt of burgers produced, therefore, it is another variable cost. It affects average total cost, and average variable cost, while average fixed cost remains unchaged precisely because it is not a fixed cost.
The average cost of production is computed by dividing the number cost (TC) by the output produced (TO) (Q). When we say "per unit cost of production," we mean that all fixed and variable costs are taken into account when calculating the average cost.
As a result, it's also known as Per Unit Total Cost.
The answers to the above questions are:
1) The $300 lump-sum tax is a one-time contribution that is not based on the amount of output; as a result, it is a fixed cost that is distributed across the total quantity of burgers produced, affecting the average total cost.
So, Option A and C are correct.
2) The per-burger tax is a variable expense that is determined by the number of burgers consumed. It has an effect on average total cost and average variable cost, but it has no effect on average fixed cost because it is not a fixed cost.
So, Option A, B, and C are correct.
Thus these Options are correct for the following question.

Kahn of Portland Oregon sent a letter to Lischner of Los Angeles inquiring whether Kushner’s property in Humboldt County was for sale. Lischner replied that he was interested in selling and asked Kahn about the fair market value. Kahn wrote that it was difficult to make an offer without a legal description of the property and asked for it and the annual taxes. These were provided by Lischner. Subsequently, Kahn wrote, "I hesitate to place a value on someone else’s property, but I can tell you that I have been offered a similar track of property for $2,000. Since your property is closer to mine, I would prefer to buy yours, and offer a four-year term contract at a total price of $2,500." The two parties ultimately agreed on a cash price of $2,500. Shortly after contracting with Kahn, Lischner went to Humboldt county and readily learned, upon the most superficial inquiry that the property was worth more than $2,500. He sold the property to Pacoima Lumber Sales, Inc. for $7,500. Thereupon, Kahn sued Lischner for $5,000. Lischner responded that he had been induced to contract by a fraudulent misrepresentation as to the value of the property by Kahn and therefore could rescind their contract of sale.What are the elements that must be present for fraudulent misrepresentation? Did Kahn commit fraud? Why, or why not.
Answer:
Misrepresentation & Fraud:
a) Elements for Fraudulent Misrepresentation:
1) A representation was in fact made: This means that it was not just a mere opinion expressed by the party misrepresenting.
2) That particular representation was false: The statement made was untrue.
3) The defendant had knowledge that the representation was false: The misrepresentation was intentional on the party of the defendant.
4) The statement was made with the intention that the other party rely on it and enter into a contract or agreement: The defendant was out to induce the other party to enter the contract.
b) Kahn committed a fraud since he intentionally induced Lischner to contract on the basis of fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedy available for Lischner is to rescind the contract.
Explanation:
a) Fraudulent misrepresentation is the presentation of false facts by someone who attempts to persuade another into action with the intent to deceive. The remedy available to the deceived party is to rescind the contract or to plea for damages.
b) According to the britannica.com, "Fraud, in law, is the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession."

Your uncle lends you $2,000 less $100 (interest at 5 percent), and you receive $1,900. Use the APR formula to find the true annual percentage rate. Assume you repay the entire loan in one year
Answer:
APR =5.263%
Explanation:
Computation of the true annual percentage rate
Using the APR formula to find the true annual percentage rate
APR=(2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]
Hence;
APR= (2 × 1 × $100) / [$1,900 × (1 + 1)]
APR=$200/($1,900×2)
APR=$200/$3,800
APR= 0.05263 ×100
APR =5.263%
Therefore the true annual percentage rate using the APR formula will be 5.263%
1. A company sells a plant asset that originally cost $375,000 for $125,000 on December 31, 2017. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $150,000 after the current year's depreciation of $37,500 had been recorded. The company should recognize a
Answer:
The company should recognize a loss on sale of plant asset of $100,00.
Explanation:
The cost = $375,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $150,000
Therefore, book value = $225,000
This book value is compared with the sales value of $125,000.
There is a difference of $100,000 ($225,000 - $125,000).
Since the book value is greater than the sales value, it means that the plant asset was sold at a loss.
The cost is the amount at which the plant asset was purchased. The accumulated depreciation represents the cost that has been expensed so far. The sales value is the amount at which the plant asset was sold.
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.

Using both the supply and demand for bonds and liquidity preference framework, show how interest rate are affected when the riskiness of bonds rises. Are the results the same in the two frame works
Answer:
Yes, the results are the same in both frameworks. Please see below for explanation.
Explanation:
With regards to the bond supply and demand framework, people will look to buy more bonds since they are more wealthy now. Hence, the supply of bonds will increase. The supply curve and the demand curve will both move to the right, with the former shifting more than the latter. The equilibrium interest rate will increase.
With regards to the liquidity preference framework, once the economy experiences a positive shift, there will also be an increase in the demand for money. People will make an increased number of transactions as well and hence, the demand curve will move towards the right. The equilibrium interest rate will rise too.

Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 618 frames, but the actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
Direct material spending variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame.
Actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850.
To calculate the spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= (13,850 - 1,200)/610= $20.74
Direct material price variance= (20 - 20.74)*610
Direct material price variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals 160minus2 q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20 , which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing . (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
Club membership fee of $60 would maximize profit.
If the club charges tow part pricing the maximum revenue can be $3500.
Explanation:
Joe has entered into a monopoly because he is owner of single golf course in the Northlands.
Demand function for Joe's golf course is:
P = 160 - 2q
P = $20 , q = 50
160 - 2 (50) = 60
Consumer surplus = 0.5 * equilibrium quantity
Consumer Surplus for Joe is ; 0.5 * 50 (160 - 20) = $3500
If MR = MC then demand function will become :
160 - 4q
If q = 25 then
160 - 4 * 25 = 60
Six years ago, James Corporation sold a $100 million bond issue to expand its facilities. Each debenture has a $1,000 par value, an original maturity of 20 years (there are now 14 years left to maturity), and an annual coupon rate of 11.5% with semiannual payments. If you require a 14% return, what price would you pay today for a James bond?
Answer:
Price of Bonds=$848.286
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for James Corporation can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- semiannual interest payment, n-number of periods, r- semi annul yield
A-semi- annul interest payment:
=11.5%× 1,000× 1/2 = 75
r-semi-Annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n-Maturity period =1 4 × 2= 28
PV of interest payment:
=57.5 × (1- (1+0.07)^(-28)/0.07)
= 697.88
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.07)^(-28) = 150.40
Step 3
Price of bond
=697.88 + 150.40
=$848.286

Use the 2012 segment information provided by BMW and Volkswagen to an- swer the following questions: a. Which company is more multinational? b. Which company is more internationally diversified? c. In which region(s) of the world did each company experience the greatest growth from 2011–2012? the greatest decline?
Answer with its Explanation:
a). The total revenue of Volkswagen and BMW in the 2012 segment given shows that the revenue is $192,676 and BMW which is $76,848. As the revenue of Volkswagen is more than the BMW hence Volkswagen is more multinational.
b). The regional sales section shows that the Volkswagen is more internationally recognized as per the regional sales which is substantially higher than the regional sales of BMW. So its crystal clear that Volkswagen is the one which more internationally diversified.
c). The 2012 segment information shows that the BMW greatest growth was in China then in USA and then greatest growth was in Rest of the Europe and the greatest decline was in Rest of the America.
For Volkswagen, the greatest growth was in North America then in Asia and then in South America. The greatest decline wasn't seen in the segment information but lowest increase was seen in Germany and then in the European countries.
Agent Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event. Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she gives a brief presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums. Is this a prohibited activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?
Answer:
Yes it is
Explanation:
Yes. When an event has been advertised as educational, going ahead to discuss plan-specific premiums is impermissible
The event for which Mary made the presentation is clearly an educational event so she should have concentrated fully on only educational contents that pertains to the event. Giving a presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums no matter how brief is a deviation from the main focus of the event. Therefore it is impermissible for her to do so.
Question 16 (3 points) The 2011 and 2012 Balance Sheets for Jacob, Inc. contained the following entries: 12/31/201112/31/2012 Accounts receivable$206$116 Inventories$590$603 Net fixed assets$102$307 Accounts payable$329$333 Jacob had materials purchases in 2011 of $1,689 and materials purchases in 2012 of $2,770 . What did Jacob record as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement
Answer:
$2,857
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the relevant cost incurred to acquire or produce the products being sold a company during a particular period.
The formula for calculating the COGS is as follows:
COGS = Beginning inventories + Purchases - Ending inventories
From the question, we have the following for 2012:
Beginning stock = $590
Purchases = $2,770
Ending inventory = 503
Therefore, we have:
COGS for 2012 = $590 + $2,770 - $503 = $2,857
Therefore, Jacob should record $2,857 as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement.
According to the Phillips curve, policymakers could reduce both the inflation rate and the unemployment rate by Group of answer choices increasing the money supply. raising taxes. increasing government expenditures None of the other answers is correct
Answer:
None of the other answers is correct.
Explanation:
Williams A. Phillips was a notable economist born in New Zealand. Phillips wrote a famous article titled "The Relation between Unemployment and the Rate of Change of Money Wage Rates in the United Kingdom, 1861-1957" published in 1958 by Economica. In the article, he used data for the United Kingdom (U.K) to illustrate on a graph, a negative or inverse relationship between the rate of change of employee wages in the U.K and the unemployment rate in the United Kingdom (U.K).
Consequently, using the Phillips curve it is practically impossible for policymakers to reduce both the inflation rate and the unemployment rate because as the inflation rate decreases; the unemployment rate increases and vice-versa.
However, according to the Phillips curve, policymakers can reduce inflation and increase unemployment if aggregate demand is contracted.

There is often litter along highways but rarely in people's yards. Which of the following statements help explain this observation?
a. Littering on the highway generates a positive externality.
b. The private cost of littering on the highway is low.
c. The private cost of littering on your own yard exceeds the social cost.
Answer:
The answer is A and C
Explanation:
Solution
Social costs refers to the total cost of an activity incurred by society.
Private costs are direct costs incurred by an individual
Frequently there is liter along the high ways but rarely in people's yards because the social cost of littering is more than private cost. since the society must bear the negative externality, the social cost is more and the private cost is less.
The private cost is higher when one liters on his own yard as the cost is only borne or carried by the owner and not the society.

Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year note required annual payments of $325,545 and carried an annual interest rate of 9.5%. What is the amount of expense Collins must recognize on its 2017 income statement
Answer:
Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.
If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823
Explanation:
According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.
Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.
When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:
Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.
= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is
= $593, 750/5
= $118,750
2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.
That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%
For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:
= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%
= $924, 455 * 9.5%
= $87,823 (approximately)

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
Rachelle transfers property with a tax basis of $800 and a fair market value of $960 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $765 and $42 in cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $153 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange
Answer:
$842
Explanation:
The computation of corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange is shown below:-
corporation's tax basis = Fair market value + Transaction
= $800 + $42
= $842
Therefore, The corporation's tax basis should be equivalent to the shareholder's tax basis as the property is transferred for $800 (a substituted basis) and add gain recognized of $42. And If the corporation sells the property for $960, the recognized gain would be $52.
One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what should be the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities? Write your answer as a percentage, i.e. for example write 8% as 8.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
Increased Efficiency, Inc. is looking for ways to shorten its cash conversion cycle. It has annual sales of $36,500,000, or $100,000 a day on a 365-day basis. The firm's cost of goods sold is 65% of sales. On average, the company has $9,000,000 in inventory and $8,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its CFO has proposed new policies that would result in a 20% reduction in both average inventories and accounts receivable. She also anticipates that these policies would reduce sales by 10%, while the payables deferral period would remain unchanged at 40 days. What effect would these policies have on the company's cash conversion cycle
Answer and Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle refers to the cycle which includes the days inventory outstanding and days sales outstanding and deduct the days payable outstanding
The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding
The computation is shown in the attachment below:
As we can see in the attachment the new proposed policy i.e 234.19 days would decrease the cash conversion cycle by 24.27 days as compared with the current proposal policy i.e 258.46 days
