Answer:
Debit Cash account $71,250
Debit Factoring charge $3,750
Credit Accounts receivable $75,000
Explanation:
Factoring accounts receivable involves the sale of the account receivable to another party such that the debt is now payable to that party. This is usually done to ease liquidity and at a charge.
When receivables are factored,
Debit Cash account
Debit Factoring charge
Credit Accounts receivable
Charge on factoring = 5/100 × $75,000
= $3,750
Amount to be received = $75,000 - $3,750
= $71,250

Winkle Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. Beginning inventory in the mixing processing center consisted of 5,000 unites, 90% complete with respect to conversion costs. Ending work in process inventory consisted of 2,000 units, 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. If 10,000 units were transferred to the next processing center during the period, how many would the equivalent units for conversion costs be?
a. 10,000 units
b. 12,200 units
c. 12,000 units
d. 6,700 units
Answer:
d. 6,700 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for conversion cost by using the FIFO method is shown below:
= Beginning inventory units × remaining percentage + units started and completed + ending inventory units × completion percentage
= 5,000 × 10% + (10,000 - 5,000) + 2,000 × 60%
= 500 + 5,000 + 1,200
= 6,700 units
We simply applied the above formula

Assume that there is an autonomous increase in investment spending of $20 billion and the MPC is given as 0.4, and assuming taxes, imports, and savings are all equal and no leakages:
Answer:
a. 1.67
b. $33.4 billion
c. A larger MPC
Explanation:
a. The Spending Multiplier is used to calculate how much an Economy increases as a result of an extra dollar being put into it and can be calculated by using the following formula;
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.4
= 1.67
b. Total Change in GDP = Amount invested * Spending Multiplier
= 20 * 1.67
= $33.4 billion.
c. An Economy is helped when it's GDP increases. A higher Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) will help it more in that case because from the formula, a larger MPC would reduce the divisor of 1 resulting in a larger Spending Multiplier which will increase the GDP more per dollar.
To explain further, the MPC measures how much of an extra dollar that people in the Economy spend, if the MPC is higher it means they spend more which will contribute to a rise in Consumption which is part of GDP.

For financial accounting purposes, what is the total amount of product costs incurred to make 24,500 units
Answer:
The product cost for 24,500 units is $497,350.
Explanation:
The reason is that the the product cost always includes all the variable production cost and specific fixed production cost. In this scenario, direct material cost, direct labor cost, variable manufacturing overhead cost are variable production cost whereas the fixed manufacturing cost is specific fixed production cost which will form part of product cost. The remainder of the cost left is period cost.
Direct materials (24,500 * $7.7 per unit) $188,650
Direct labor (24,500 * $4.7 per unit) $115,150
Variable manufacturing overhead (24,500 * $2.2 per unit) $53,900
Fixed manufacturing overhead (24,500 * $5.7 per unit) $139,650
Total product costs $497,350
Fasheh Corporation's relevant range of activity is 7,000 units to 11,000 units. When it produces and sells 9,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 5.50 Direct labor $ 3.90 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.30 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 13.50 Fixed selling expense $ 2.25 Fixed administrative expense $ 1.80 Sales commissions $ 0.50 Variable administrative expense $ 0.45 If 10,000 units are produced, the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost is closest to:
Answer:
$134,500
Explanation:
Total manufacturing overhead = Variable overhead + Fixed overhead
Variable overhead= $1.3 * 10,000 units= $13000
Fixed overhead = $13.50 * 9000 units = $121,500
Total manufacturing overhead= $13,000+$121,500
= $134,500

Leaper Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools:
Total Activity Activity Cost Pool machine- Fabrication 35,000 hours Order processing 300 orders Other Not applicable The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and salaries Depreciation $420,000 170,000 190,000 Occupancy $780,000 Total The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below:
Activity Cost Pools Order Processing Fabrication other Total Wages and salaries Depreciation 30% 25% 45% 100% 20% 50% 30% 100% 40% 35% 100% 25% Occupancy
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:
a) $633 per order
b) $1,745 per order
c) $855 per order
d) $572 per order
Answer:
Order processing= $846.67 per order
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity costs:
Wages and salaries= 420,000
Depreciation= $170,000
Occupancy= $190,000
Activity Cost Pools:
Order Processing:
Wages and salaries= 0.3
Depreciation= 0.25
Occupancy= 0.45
Order processing 300 orders
First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost for order processing:
Wages and salaries= 0.3*420,000= 126,000
Depreciation= 0.25*170,000= 42,500
Occupancy= 0.45*190,000= 85,500
Total= $254,000
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Order processing= 254,000/300= $846.67 per order
On February 1, a customer's account balance of $2,700 was deemed to be uncollectible. What entry should be recorded on February 1 to record the write-off assuming the company uses the allowance method? Multiple Choice Debit Bad Debts Expense $2,700; credit Accounts Receivable $2,700. Debit Bad Debts Expense $2,700; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700. Debit Accounts Receivable $2,700; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700. Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700; credit Accounts Receivable $2,700. Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700; credit Bad Debts Expense $2,700.
Answer:
On February 1, a customer's account balance of $2,700 was deemed to be uncollectible.
The entry to be recorded on February 1 to record the write-off assuming the company uses the allowance method is:
Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700; credit Accounts Receivable $2,700.
Explanation:
Using the allowance method, every bad debt entry is first reflected in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts before it is taken to the bad debt expense account.
The entries above reduce the Accounts Receivable account by the amount of the write-off and reduces the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by the same amount. Any recovery of written off debt is also treated in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and the Accounts Receivable account in revised order. This method is unlike the direct write-off method. With the direct write-off method, the Accounts Receivable is credited with the amount of the write-off and the write-off is expensed in the Bad Debts Expense account directly.
Oral Roberts Dental Supplies has annual sales of $5,625,000. 80% are on credit. The firm has $475,000 in accounts receivable. Compute the value of the average collection period.
Answer:
The answer is 38 days
Explanation:
The average collection period is the number of days it takes a company to convert its credit sales to cash
Average collection period = (account receivables/average credit sales) x 360 days
Credit sales = 80% of $5,625,000
=0.8 x $5,625,000
=$4,500,000.
Average collection period is therefore,
($475,000/$4,500,000) x 360 days
=0.10555556 x 360days
=38 days
You need to borrow money and you are considering two loans. The terms of the two loans are equivalent with the exception of the interest rates. Loan A offers a stated rate of 3.125% compounded monthly. Loan B offers a stated rate of 3.15% compounded semi-annually. What are the effective annual rates for the loans? Which one do you prefer
Answer:
For Loan A = 3.170%
For Loan B = 3.174%
Loan B has a higher effective annual rate.
Explanation:
The computation of effective annual rates for the loans is shown below:-
For Loan A
We will assume effective annual rate is a
Stated rate(r) = 3.125% compounded monthly
= Number of periods in an year n = 12
So,
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1+0.03125 ÷ 12) × 12 - 1
= 0.03170
or
= 3.170%
For Loan B
We will assume the effective annual rate is b
Stated rate (r) = 3.15% compounded semi annually
= Number of periods in an year n = 2
So
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1 + 0.0315 ÷ 2) × 2 - 1
= 0.03174
or
= 3.174%
From the above calculation we can see that Loan B, is greater than Loan A and has a higher effective annual rate.

Nabors Company reported the following current assets and liabilities for December 31 for two recent years: Dec. 31, Current Year Dec. 31, Previous Year Cash $1,430 $1,710 Temporary investments 3,120 3,840 Accounts receivable 7,150 2,610 Inventory 2,340 2,300 Accounts payable 6,500 5,100 Required: a. Compute the quick ratio on December 31 of both years. If required, round your answers to one decimal place. Quick Ratio December 31, current year December 31, previous year b. Is the quick ratio improving or declining?
Answer:
a. Quick ratio for current year =2.16
Quick ratio for current year =2.05
b. Improving
Explanation:
A.
To find quick ratios we need to divide current assets by current liabilities
Quick Ratio = [tex]\frac{currentasssets}{currentliabilities}[/tex]
Current assets Dec 31 current year Dec 31 previous year
Cash $1,430 $1,710
Temporary investment $3,120 $3,840
Accounts receivable $7,150 $2,610
Inventory $2,340 $2,300
Total current assets $14,040 $10,460
Current liability
Account payable $6,500 $5,100
Quick Ratio [tex]\frac{14040}{6500 }[/tex] [tex]\frac{10460}{5100}[/tex]
Quick Ratio 2.16 2.05
B.
As you can see above that in the previous year Nabors company had a quick ratio of 2.05 but it has slightly increased by 0.11 in the current year.
Answer:
Quick Ratio for the current year = 3.78
Quick Ratio for the previous year = 1.6
Explanation:
Nabors Company
Dec. 31, Current Year Dec. 31, Previous Year
Cash $1,430 $1,710
Temporary investments 3,120 3,840
Accounts receivable 7,150 2,610
Inventory 2,340 2,300
Accounts payable 6,500 5,100
Quick Ratio = Cash + Cash Equivalents + Accounts Receivables/ Accounts Payables
Quick Ratio for the current year = $ 1430+ 3120 + 7150/ 6500
= 24570/6500= 3.78
Quick Ratio for the previous year = $ 1710+ 3840 + 2610/ 5100
= 8160/5100= 1.6
A quick ratio less than 1.0 means that the current liabilities exceed the quick assets. a rule of thumb the quick ratio must have a value greater than 1.0 to conclude that the company is unlikely to face near term liquidity problems. . A value less than 1.0 raises the liquidity concerns unless the a company can generate enough cash from inventory sales or if much of its liabilities are not due until late in the next period.
Similarly a value greater than 1.0 can hide a liquidity problem if payable are due shortly and receivables are not collected late until next period.
It is improving.
An aging of a company's accounts receivable indicates that $3140 are estimated to be uncollectible. If Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $820 debit balance, the adjustment to record bad debts for the period will require a:__________
a. debit to Bad Debt Expense for $3140.
b. credit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for $820.
c. debit to Bad Debt Expense for $3960.
d. debit to Bad Debt Expense for $2320.
Answer:
c. debit to Bad Debt Expense for $3960.
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the bad debt expense is shown below;
Bad debt expense Dr ($3,140 + $820) $3,960
To Allowance for doubtful debts $3,960
(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
Therefore option c is correct
A large company is accused of gender discrimination in wages. The following model has been estimated from the company's human resource information.
In (WAGE) = 1.439 + .0834 EDU + .0512 EXPER + .1932 MALE
Where WAGE is hourly wage, EDU is years of education. EXPER is years of relevant experience, and MALE indicates the employee is male How much more do men at the firm earn, on average?
a) $1.21 per hour more than females
b) 19.32% more than females
c) $19.32 per hour
d) $19, 320 more per year than females^2
Answer: b) 19.32% more than females
Explanation:
According to the model for calculating how wages are paid to employees, there is a .1932 coefficient attached to being a male employee. This means that 0.1932 (19.32% ) is added to an employees salary if they are males. This simply means that males are getting paid 19.32% more than other employees in the company which is this case are females.
When unemployment is high, government policymakers might decide to do which of the following?
a. Decrease the amount of funds in the economy available for loans
b. Decrease government spending on goods and services
c. Increase government spending on goods and services
d. Raise taxes
Answer:
Option C is correct.
Explanation:
The option is C, “Increase government spending on goods and services” is correct because the spending by the government will create new employment opportunities. Therefore, this will decrease unemployment. However, if the government decreases the loan funds in the economy, decreases the spending on goods and services, and rises the taxes then it will raise unemployment in the economy.
In the case when the unemoloyment is high, the government policymakers should increase the government spending on the goods and services.
The following information should be considered:
The spending by the government developed the new employment opportunities.Due to this, the unemployment should decreased.In the case when the government reduced the loan funds so it reduced the spending on goods & services.Learn more: brainly.com/question/17429689

As the income of bus riders increased, the wages of bus drivers increased simultaneously. How does this affect the market for bus rides (inferior good)?
Answer:
The demand curve and supply curve will shift leftwards.
Explanation:
The increase in the income of riders will decrease the number of bus rides because there is an inverse relationship between income and inferior goods. Therefore, the demand curve for bus rides will shift leftwards. Moreover, the increase in wages is an input cost, therefore, the rise in input cost will shift the supply curve leftwards.

The cost of an asset is $ 1 comma 050 comma 000, and its residual value is $ 130 comma 000. Estimated useful life of the asset is ten years. Calculate depreciation for the second year using the doubleminusdecliningminusbalance method of depreciation. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$168,000
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/10) = 0.2
depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.2 x $1,050,000 =$210,000
book value at the beginning of year 2 = $1,050,000 - $210,000 = $840,000
depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.2 x $840,000 = $168,000

Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome Suppose there are only two firms that sell Blu-ray players: Movietonia and Videotech. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its players.
Videotech Pricing
High Low
Movietonia Pricing High 11, 11 2, 15
Low 15, 2 8, 8
For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Movietonia prices low and Videotech prices high, Movietonia will earn a profit of $15 million and Videotech will earn a profit of $3 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Movietonia and Videotech are both profit-maximizing firms.
1. If the firms do not collude, what strategies will they end up choosing?
2. The game between Movietonia and Videotech is an example of the prisoners' dilemma.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
pricing low
yes
Explanation:
Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
if either firm charges high, they either earn 11 million or 2 million.
if either firm charges low, it would earn either 15 million or 8 million.
because the payoffs of charging low is higher than the payoffs of charging high, the best strategy is for the firms to charge low if there is no cooperation.
the game is a prisoners dilemma because the choice the firms make isn't the choice that will yield the highest payoffs. the choice that would yield the highest payoffs is to both charge high prices.
Sufra Corporation is planning to sell 150,000 units for $2.90 per unit and will break even at this level of sales. Fixed expenses will be $93,000. What are the company's variable expenses per unit
Answer:
$2.28
Explanation:
Breakeven point is the number of units produced and sold at which net income is equal to zero.
Breakeven = F / P - V
F = fixed
P = price
V = variable cost
150,000 = $93,000 / $2.90 - V
Multiply both sides of the equation by $2.90 - V
= ($2.90 - V)150,000 = $93,000
$435,000 - 150,000V = $93,000
V = $2.28

Boxwood Company sells blankets for $30 each. The following was taken from the inventory records during May. The company had no beginning inventory on May 1. Date Blankets Units Cost May 03 Purchase 6 $14 10 Sale 4 17 Purchase 12 $16 20 Sale 4 23 Sale 3 30 Purchase 12 $18 Assuming that the company uses the perpetual inventory system, determine the ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method.
Answer:
The ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method is $324.
Explanation:
LIFO
LIFO method assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.
This means valuation of inventory will use the value of the earliest goods purchased.
Ending Inventory : 2 units × $14 = $28
5 units × $16 = $80
12 units × $18 = $216
Total = $324
Conclusion :
The ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method is $324.
