Which of the following is not counted as a part of GDP?
A. the purchase of 100 shares of AT&T stock by your grandfather.
B. the purchase of a snow plough by the city of Minneapolis.
C. the unsold additions to inventory at an appliances store
D. the purchase of a loaf of bread by a consumer
Answer:
C, The unsold additions to inventory at an appliances store.
Explanation:
GDP = Gross DOMESTIC Product
Since the unsold additions are not sold, there's no money coming from it, thus it is not counted in GDP.
Bonus: If you order clothes from Thailand, that is called GNP. It counts as Thailand's GDP because the money is going into the country, and it counts as America's GNP as you are buying goods from another country.
Suppose that from a new checkable deposit, First National Bank holds 4 million dollars in vault cash, 16 million dollars on deposit with the Federal Reserve, and 18 million dollars in excess reserves. Given this information, we can say First National Bank has ________ million dollars in required reserves.
Answer:
We can say First National Bank has 2 million dollars in required reserves
Explanation:
In order to calculate the required reserves we would have to make the following calculation:
Required reserves = Total reserves - excess reserves = vault cash + deposits with Federal Reserve - excess reserves
vault cash= 4 million dollars
deposits with Federal Reserve= 16 million dollars
excess reserves=18 million dollars
Therefore, Required reserves=4 million dollars+ 16 million dollars-=18 million dollars
Required reserves= 2 million dollars
We can say First National Bank has 2 million dollars in required reserves

Assets totaled $24,750 and liabilities totaled $8,550 at the beginning of the year. During the year, assets decreased by $3,550 and liabilities increased by $2,850. What is the amount of the change in stockholders' equity during the year?
Answer:
Amount of the change in stockholders' equity during the year is $6,400 (Decrease)
Explanation:
Assets = $24,750
Liabilities = $8,550
Equity = Assets - Liability
Equity at Beginning : $24,750 -$8,550 = $16,200
Equity at End : ($24,750 - $3,550) - ($8,550+$2,850)
= $21,200 - $11,400
= $9,800
Change in Stock holder's Equity : $16,200 -$9,800
= $6,400(Decrease)
You need a particular piece of equipment for your production process. An equipment-leasing company has offered to lease the equipment to you for $ 10 comma 000 per year if you sign a guaranteed 5-year lease (the lease is paid at the end of each year). The company would also maintain the equipment for you as part of the lease. Alternatively, you could buy and maintain the equipment yourself. The cash flows from doing so are listed below (the equipment has an economic life of 5 years). If your discount rate is 7.0 %, what should you do?
Answer: Lease Equipment as it is cheaper than Buying the Equipment
Explanation:
The better option would be the one with the lower Present Value between Leasing and Buying.
Buying The Equipment
Cost is $40,000 and then there will be a negative Cashflow of $2,000 every year until the 5th year.
Since the Cashflow is constant it can be treated like an annuity. Using the table attached find the PVIFA factor for 5 years at 7%.
PV = -40,000 + (-2,000 * 4.100 ( PVIFA for 5 periods at 7%))
= 40,000 - 8,200
= -$48,200
Cost of Leasing
Leasing would cost $10,000 per year for 5 years.
PV = -10,000 * 4.100 ( PVIFA for 5 periods at 7%)
= -$41,000
You should Lease the Equipment because it is cheaper.
Blossom Company sells office equipment on July 31, 2022, for $23,730 cash. The office equipment originally cost $79,700 and as of January 1, 2022, had accumulated depreciation of $36,130. Depreciation for the first 7 months of 2022 is $4,970.
Prepare the journal entries to (a) update depreciation to July 31, 2014, and (b) record the sale of the equipment. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
a. The entries are:
Debit Depreciation expenses for $4,920;
Credit Accumulated depreciation for $4,920.
b. The entries are:
Debit Cash for $23,730
Debit Accumulated depreciation for $41,100
Debit Loss on disposal of equipment for $14,870
Credit Equipment for $79,700
Explanation:
(a) Prepare the journal entries to update depreciation to July 31, 2022.
Note: the correct date to update to is July 31, 2022 not the wrongly stated July 31, 2014 in the question.
The journal entries will look as as follows:
Date Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
July 31 Depreciation expenses 4,920
Accumulated depreciation 4,920
To record the updating of depreciation to July 31, 2022.
(a) Prepare the journal entries to record the sale of the equipment.
To prepare this, we need to first calculate the gain or loss on disposal as follows:
Accumulated depreciation till date = $36,130 + $4,970 = $41,100
Net book value = Equipment cost - Accumulated depreciation till date = $79,700 - $41,100 = $38,600
Gain or loss on disposal = Sales proceed - Net book value = $23,730 - $38,600 = $14,870 loss
The journal entries will be as follows:
Date Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
July 31 Cash 23,730
Accumulated depreciation 41,100
Loss on disposal of equipment 14,870
Equipment 79,700

A. $59.78 per MH
B. $87.09 per MH
C. $44.16 per MH
D. $37.05 per MH
Answer:
A. $59.78 per MH
Explanation:
The computation of activity rate for the Order Size activity cost pool under activity-based costing is shown below:-
Activity rate for the Order Size activity cost pool = Activity pool cost ÷ Total expected activity
= $579,866 ÷ 9,700
= $59.78 per MH

Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
For computation of the government's total support payments to producers first we need to find out the surplus units which is shown below:
Floor price = $40
[tex]Q_d = 180[/tex]
[tex]Q_s = 280[/tex]
[tex]Surplus\ units[/tex] = [tex]Q_s - Q_d[/tex]
= 280 - 180
= 100
Therefore,
The Total support payments to producer = Price floor × Surplus units
= $40 × 100
= $4,000
So, for determining the total support payment to producer we simply multiply the price floor with surplus units.

Suppose Ms. Smith sells her 2018 Honda Fit next year. The original cost of the
vehicle was $10,000. During the time she has owned the car she has taken $3,000 dollars
of deprecation on it. Ms. Williams sells the car for $9,000. What is result of the transaction?
A. An ordinary loss of $1,000
B. Long-term capital gain of $2,000
C. An ordinary gain of $2,000
D. An ordinary gain of $6,000
Answer:
An ordinary gain of $2,000
Explanation:
Ms. Smith wants to sell her 2018 Honda fit car next year
The original cost of the car is $10,000
She has incurred $3,000 worth of depreciation on it during the period that she has used the car
She sells the car for $9,000
Her transaction rate can be calculated as follows:
Net value of the car= $10,000-$3,000
= $7,000
Amount of gain realized while selling the car= $9,000-$7,000
= $2,000
Hence Ms. Smith has an ordinary gain of $2,000 after selling her car
Two features of internal control are presented in the following sections. Each is followed by a list of four irregularities that occurred in processing data. Identify the one irregularity from each list that would be discovered or prevented by the feature of internal control described.
a. The sum of the balances of the accounts in the customer's ledger is compared at the end of each month with the balance of the accounts receivable account in the general ledger by a person who has no responsibility for maintaining either the general ledger or the customers ledger.
Five hours of services were rendered but the customer was only billed for four hours.
A cash receipt of $750 was recorded correctly in the accounts receivable controlling account but was posted to the customer's ledger as $75.
A bill for services rendered to Cole Co. was erroneously posted to the account of Coleman Co. in the customer's ledger.
No entry was made in the accounting records for services rendered to a customer.
The irregularity that would be discovered or prevented by the feature of internal control described is: ________
b. Both cash and credit charges for services rendered are recorded on prenumbered invoices. At the end of the day, all invoices are accounted for before the duplicate copies of the invoices are routed to the Accounting Department for entry into the accounts and the cash is sent to the Cashier's Department for deposit.
Some charge customers complained that the monthly statements of account did not add all amounts correctly.
Some clerks used incorrect hourly rates in preparing invoices.
Some clerks destroyed duplicate copies of cash invoices and misappropriated the cash.
Some charge customers complained that the monthly statement of account did not indicate credits for payments made.
The irregularity that would be discovered or prevented by the feature of internal control described is: _____________.
Answer: a. A cash receipt of $750 was recorded correctly in the accounts receivable controlling account but was posted to the customer's ledger as $75.
b. Some clerks destroyed duplicate copies of cash invoices and misappropriated the cash.
Explanation:
a. When the person (who not handled this account before) is crosschecking the balance on accounts in the Customers Ledger against the accounts receivable account in the general ledger, they will discover that $750 was recorded correctly in the Accounts Receivables Control Accounts in the General ledger but was recorded at only $75 in the Customers Ledger.
b. The sales clerks would have destroyed only duplicates whilst the originals were still there. Worse still for them is that these duplicates have been accounted for with the Originals. This way when they destroy the duplicates, the company can still confirm with the originals that that cash was indeed paid.
Mo Meek, Lu Ling, and Barb Beck formed the MLB Partnership by making capital contributions of $75,600, $294,000, and $470,400, respectively. They predict annual partnership net income of $498,000 and are considering the following alternative plans of sharing income and loss: (a) equally; (b) in the ratio of their initial capital investments; or (c) salary allowances of $83,600 to Mo, $62,700 to Lu, and $94,500 to Barb; interest allowances of 10% on their initial capital investments; and the balance shared as follows: 20% to Mo, 40% to Lu, and 40% to Barb.

An expansionary fiscal policy will Question 4 options: always result in a budget deficit. always result in a budget surplus. sometimes result in a budget deficit. never result in a budget surplus. More information is necessary to answer this question.
Answer:
always result in a budget deficit.
Explanation:
Expansionary fiscal policy are policies undertaken by the government to increase the supply of money in the economy.
Tools of Expansionary fiscal policy are :
tax cuts
increased government spending
transfer payments.
A budget deficit occurs when government spending exceeds income.
If taxes are cut, revenue of the government would fall and this can lead to a budget deficit.
Also if the government increases its spending, spending can exceed income and this would lead to a deficit.

Juggernaut Satellite Corporation earned $19.6 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 30 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 30 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 70 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2.8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $84. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent is expected to continue in the future.
What is the required rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
The required rate of return on the stock is 12.55%
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Company is distributing 30% of its earnings as dividends
Therefore, company is retaining = 100-30 = 70% of its earnings
Growth = Retention ratio * ROE = 0.7*0.14 = 9.8%
Earning = 19.6 million
hence, Paid as dividends = 19.6*0.3 = $5.88 million
The Number of shares outstanding = 2.8 million
hence, Dividend per share = Total dividends / number of shares outstanding = 5.88/2.8 = $2.1
Current stock price = $84
Therefore, to calculate the required rate of return on the stock we would have to use the following formula:
Price of stock = Current dividend*(1+growth)/(r-growth), where r is required rate of return
84 = 2.1*(1.098)/(r-0.098)
40 = 1.098/(r-0.098)
r - 0.098 = 0.02745
r = 0.02745+0.098 = 0.12545
The required rate of return on the stock is 12.55%

Job C- 62 was completed for a total cost of $143,000 and was sold for $158,000.
Job C - 63 was completed for a total cost of $183,000 and was sold for $214,000.
Job C - 64 was completed for a total cost $84,000 but was not sold as of year - end.
The Manufacturing Overhead account had an unadjusted credit balance of $24,000 and was adjusted to zero at year - end. What was the final balance in the Cost of Goods Sold account?
a. $302,000 credit balance
b. $302,000 debit balance
c. $350,000 debit balance
d. $350,000 credit balance
Answer:
$317,000 debit balance
Explanation :
Frederic Manufacturing final balance in the Cost of Goods Sold account:
Cost of Job C 62 158,000
Cost of Job C 63 183,000
Less manufacturing overhead over allocated to production (24,000)
Cost of goods sold 317,000
158,000+183,000
=341,000-24,000
=$317,000
A corporation has 41,770 shares of $35 par stock outstanding that has a current market value of $292 per share. If the corporation issues a 4-for-1 stock split, the market value of the stock will fall to approximately a.$1,168.00 b.$8.75 c.$73.00 d.$257.00
Answer:
c. $73.00 per share
Explanation:
The computation of market value of the stock will fall to approximately is shown below:-
The market value of the stock will fall to approximately = Market value per share ÷ 4-for-1 stock split
= $292 ÷ 4-for-1 stock split
= $73.00 per share
Therefore for computing the market value of the stock will fall to approximately we simply applied the above formula.
Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following: Bonds payable, 11% (due in 15 years) $1,023,237 Preferred 8% stock, $100 par (no change during the year) $200,000 Common stock, $50 par (no change during the year) $1,000,000 Income before income tax for year $383,882 Income tax for year $115,165 Common dividends paid $60,000 Preferred dividends paid $16,000 Based on the data presented above, what is the times interest earned ratio (round to two decimal places)
Answer:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio = 4.41 times
Explanation:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio is an accounting ratio that shows the extent to which the income income of an organization can be used to cover its future interest expenses. This can be calculated as follows:
TIE Ratio = Earning before interest and tax (EBIT) / Interest expenses
Since,
Bonds payable, 11% (due in 15 years) = $1,023,237
Interest expenses = 11% * $1,023,237 = $112,556.07
Income before income tax for year = $383,882
EBIT = Interest expenses + Income before income tax for year = $112,556.07 + $383,882 = $496,438.07
Therefore, we have:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio = $496,438.07 / $112,556.07 = 4.41 times
This shows that the income is 4.41 times greater than its annual interest expense. That is, the income can cover the annual interest 4.41 times.

Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{Max \ Z = 2.033 BR + 2.583 BD + 1.868 CR + 2.418 CD}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the given information:
The total revenue can be illustrated as :
Total revenue = 3.6 BR + 4.4 BD + 3.6 CR + 4.4 CD
On the other hand; the total cost of the beans is:
= 1.1 (0.47 BR + 0.47 BD + 0.62 CR + 0.62 CD)
= 0.517 BR + 0.517 BD + 0.682 CR + 0.682 CD
Also; The total production cost is :
= 0.8 BR + 1.05 BD + 0.8 CR + 1.05 CD
The total profit = Total revenue - Total Cost of Beans - Total Production Cost
The total profit = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{}3.6 BR + 4.4 BD + 3.6 CR + 4.4 CD\\- (0.517 BR + 0.517 BD + 0.682 CR + 0.682 CD)\\-(0.8 BR + 1.05 BD + 0.8 CR + 1.05 CD)\end{array}\right][/tex]
The total profit = 2.033 BR + 2.583 BD + 1.868 CR + 2.418 CD
Therefore the linear programming model represents the Objective function of the total profit as:

It is estimated that 60% of the coupons will eventually be presented for redemption. Prepare all the entries that would be made relative to sales of soap powder and to the premium plan in 2020. (If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.) Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit (To record the premium inventory) (To record the sales) (To record the expense associated with the sale) (To record the premium liability)
Answer: Please see below
Explanation:
1) Journal to record the purchase of 9000 premiums at 85 cents
Year Account Title and explanations Debit Credit
2020 n Inventory of premium $7,650
Cash $7,650
working
Purchase price= Number of units purchased x price per unit
9000 x 0.85= $7,650
2) Journal to record the sale of 109,000 boxes at $3.10
Year Account Title and explanations Debit Credit
2020 Cash $337,900
Sales Revenue $337,900
working
Sale price= Number of units sold x price sold per unit
109,000 boxes x $3.10= $337,900
3) Journal to record the premium expenses
Year Account Title and explanations Debit Credit
2020 Premium Expenses $4,080
Inventory on premium $4080
working
Premium expenses= coupons presented for redemption / number of coupons to redeem premium x price per premium
= 48,000/10 x 0.85 = $4,080
4) Journal to record the premium liability
year Account Title and explanations Debit Credit
2020 Premium Expenses $1,479
Premium liability $1,479
working
Estimated redemption on number of boxes sold = number of boxes sold x probability of redemption= 109,000 x 60 %= $65,400
premium liability of coupons = estimated redemption of premiums - number of coupons already redeemed
= 65,400- 48,000 = 17,400
Cost of premium liabilty = premium liability of coupons /number of coupons per premium x rate per premium
17,400/10 x 0.85 ==$1,479
Xu owns two investments, A and B, that have a combined total value of $40,000. Investment A is expected to pay $28,000 in 3 years from today and has an expected return of 7.1 percent per year. Investment B is expected to pay $36,000 in T years from today and has an expected return of 5.5 percent per year. What is T, the number of years from today that investment B is expected to pay $36,000?
Answer:
The number of years is [tex]T =13 \ years[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The total value of the investment A and B is [tex]k =[/tex]$40, 000
The future value of A is [tex]F_A =[/tex]$28,000
The time period is t = 3
The expected return of A is [tex]e_A =[/tex] 7.1 % = 0.071
The future value of B is [tex]F_B =[/tex]$36,000
The time period for B is T
The expected return of B is [tex]e_B =[/tex]5.5 % = 0.055
The present value of investment A is mathematically represented as
[tex]A = \frac{F_A }{(1 + e_A) ^t}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]A = \frac{ 28000 }{(1 + 0.071) ^3}[/tex]
[tex]A =[/tex]$ 22792.38
The present value of B is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]B = k - A[/tex]
substituting values
B = 40, 000 - 22792.38
B = $17,208
The future value of B is
[tex]F_B = B * (1 + e_B)^T[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]36,000 =17,208 * (1 + 0.055)^T[/tex]
[tex]2.0921 = (1.055)^T[/tex]
take log of both sides
[tex]log(2.0921) =log (1.055)^T[/tex]
[tex]0.32057 = T log (1.055)[/tex]
=> [tex]T = \frac{0.3206}{0.0232}[/tex]
[tex]T =13 \ years[/tex]
A process produces 5000 units of output that yield $6 per unit. Resources contributed to this output are 200 hours of labor at $15 per hour, materials at $700 and overhead at $300. What is the labor productivity? (assuming that the output is measured by its unit)
Answer:
Labor productivity = 25 units per hour
Explanation:
The labor productivity per hour is the number of output units , per unit of labor input.
Number of units produced = 5,000 units
Number of hours of labor input = 200 hours
∴ Labor productivity = units produced ÷ labor input in hours
Labor productivity = 5,000 ÷ 200 = 25
∴ Labor productivity = 25 units per hour

Janus Coat Company purchased a delivery truck on June 1 for $30,000, paying $10,000 cash and signing a 6%, 2-month note for the remaining balance. The truck is expected to depreciate $6,000 each year. Janus Coat Company prepares monthly financial statements. Prepare the general journal entry to record the acquisition of the delivery truck on June 1st. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
Dr delivery truck $30,000
Cr cash $10,000
Cr notes payable $20,000
Explanation:
The acquisition of the truck was consummated partly in cash of $10,000 and notes payable was signed for the remainder of $20,000,hence the appropriate would be to debit delivery truck account with the total cost of $30,000 while the cash account and notes payable are credited with $10,000 and $20,000 respectively.
The interest would be due and recognized later on,not when the truck is freshly acquired.
