What is the quick ratio for 2017?
Answer:
0.82
Explanation:
Quick ratio is computed as
= Quick assets / Current liabilities
Quick assets = cash and cash equivalents + marketable securities + Account receivables
Current liabilities = Bills payable + Accounts payable + Other short term payable
With regards to the above,
Quick assets given = Cash and accounts receivables ; account payables only for current liabilities
Quick ratio = $240 + $860 / $1,335
Quick ratio = $1,100 / $1,335
Quick ratio = 0.82
So, quick ratio for 2017 is 0.82

Comfort chair company manufacturers a standard recliner. During February, the firm's Assembly Department started production of 73,000 chairs. During the month, the firm completed 78,600 chairs, and transferred them to the Finishing Department. The firm ended the month with 10,100 chairs in ending inventory. There were 15,700 chairs in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is used by Comfort. Beginning work in process was 35% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 85% complete as to conversion costs.
Direct materials $24,000
Conversion costs $35,000
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period:
Direct materials $168,000
Conversion costs $278,000
1. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs during February?
a. 81,500
b. 83,000
c. 73,000
d. 77,500
2. What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of February?
a. $19,000
b. $23,000
c. $25,000
d. $27,000
3. What is the cost of the goods transferred out during February?
a. $417,750.5
b. $454,694.8
c. $476,750.6
d. $505,000.2
Answer:
1. a. 81,500
2. $38,481
3. $461,382
Explanation:
The equivalent units for conversion costs during February.
Conversion Costs = 15,700 x 65% + 62,900 x 100% + 10,100 x 85 %
= 81,690 units
Material Costs = 15,700 x 0% + 62,900 x 100% + 10,100 x 100 %
= 73,000 units
The amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of February.
Step 1 : Determine Cost per Equivalent unit
Conversion Costs = $168,000 ÷ 81,690 units = $2.06
Material Costs = $278,000 ÷ 73,000 units = $3.81
Total Cost = $2.06 + $3.81 = $5.87
Step 2 : Direct Material Cost assigned to ending work-in-process
Ending work-in-process (Material Cost) = 10,100 x $3.81
= $38,481
The cost of the goods transferred out during February.
Cost of the goods transferred out = $5.87 x 78,600
= $461,382

Explanation:
Led Foot drives his car carelessly into another car. The second car contains dynamite, a fact that Led had no way of knowing. The collision causes an explosion, which shatters a window of a building half a block away on another street. The flying glass inflicts serious cuts on Sally, who is working at a desk near the window. The explosion also harms Vic, who is walking on the sidewalk near the point of the collision. Toward whom is Led Foot negligent?
Answer:
Led Foot is negligent Towards Vic
Explanation:
The injury inflicted on both Sally and Vic resulted from the explosion caused when Led Foot hit another car containing explosives. Vic in this case is a pedestrian while Sally isn't. Led Foot is negligent towards Vic because careless driving of any sort will definitely pose a certain level of threat or harm to pedestrians nearby. However, in Sally's case who isn't a pedestrian could be classed among the group of people residing outside the risk zone. Hence, even though Sally was hurt as a result of shattered glass triggered by the explosion ; Led Foot isn't negligent towards Sally.
To raise operating funds, Signal Aviation sold an airplane on January 1, 2018, to a finance company for $770,000. Signal immediately leased the plane back for a 13-year period, at which time ownership of the airplane will transfer to Signal. The airplane has a fair value of $800,000. Its cost and its book value were $600,000. Its useful life is estimated to be 15 years. The lease requires Signal to make payments of $102,771 to the finance company each January 1. Signal depreciates assets on a straight-line basis. The lease has an implicit rate of 11%.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate entries for Signal on:
1. January 1, 2018, to record the transaction
2. December 31, 2018, to record necessary adjustments
Answer:

On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. Matthews Band uses straight-line depreciation but realizes at the start of the second year that this equipment will last only a total of three years. The salvage value is not changed.
Answer:
$15,950
$15,950
Explanation:
Here is the full question :
On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. Matthews Band uses straight-line depreciation but realizes at the start of the second year that this equipment will last only a total of three years. The salvage value is not changed. Compute the revised depreciation for both the second and third years.
The step to answering this question :
1. calculate the depreciation expense using the initial useful life
2. calculate the book value for year 2
3. calculate the depreciation expense for year 2 and 3 using the revised useful life and year 2 book value
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
1. ($65,800 - $2000) / 4 = $15,950
Book value = $65,800 - $15,950 = $49,850
($49,850 - $2000) / 3 = $15,950
The depreciation expense in year 2 and 3 would be $15,950

project requires an initial fixed asset investment of $148,000, has annual fixed costs of $39,800, a contribution margin of $14.62, a tax rate of 21 percent, a discount rate of 15 percent, and straight-line depreciation over the project's 3-year life. The assets will be worthless at the end of the project. What is the present value break-even point in units per year?
Answer:
18,119 units
Explanation:
Break even Point is the level of activity at which the the project makes neither a profit nor loss.
Break even Point = (Annual fixed costs of a project + Annual equivalent cost of the project) ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Annual fixed costs of a project = $39,800
Step 1 : Calculate PMT
This is to account for additional fixed costs on initial investment that needs to be covered.
N = 3
I = 15 %
PV = $148,000
FV = $0
PMT = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the PMT is $225,090
Step 2: Calculate Break Even Point
Break even Point = ($39,800 + $225,090) ÷ $14.62
= 18,119 units
Conclusion
The present value break-even point in units per year is 18,119 units

Ivanhoe Corp. has a deferred tax asset account with a balance of $72,800 at the end of 2019 due to a single cumulative temporary difference of $364,000. At the end of 2020, this same temporary difference has increased to a cumulative amount of $416,000. Taxable income for 2020 is $762,000. The tax rate is 20% for all years. No valuation account related to the deferred tax asset is in existence at the end of 2019.
Required:
a. Record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020, assuming that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.
b. Record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2017, assuming that it is more likely than not that none of the deferred tax asset will be realized.
Answer:
attached below
Explanation:
Given data :
Deferred tax asset account = $72800 at the end of 2019
single cumulative temporary difference = $364,000
At the end of 2020
single cumulative temporary difference = $416,000
Taxable income for 2020 = $762000
tax rate = 20% for all years
A) attached below
deferred income tax asset = $( 416,000 - 364,000 ) * 20%
= $10400
Income tax payable = $(762,000 ) * 20% = $152,400
Income tax expense = ( income tax payable - deffered income tax )
= $152400 - $10400 = $142,000
