Explanation:
Inside Incorporated was issued a charter on January 15 authorizing the following capital stock:
Common stock, $6 par, 100,000 shares, one vote per share
Preferred stock, 7 percent, par value $10 per share, 5,000 shares, nonvoting.
The following selected transactions were completed during the first year of operations in the order given:
a. Issued 21,000 shares of the $6 par common stock at $19 cash per share.
b. Issued 3,100 shares of preferred stock at $23 cash per share.
c. At the end of the year, the accounts showed net income of $39,000
Prepare the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet at December 31
Answer:
Total stockholders' equity = $509,300
Explanation:
Before the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet is prepared, the following are calculated first:
Common stock = Number of common shares issued * Par value of common share = 21,000 * $6 = $126,000
Additional-paid-in-capital (APIC) – Common stock = Number of common shares issued * (Common stock cash per share - Par value of common share) = 21,000 * ($19 - $6) = $273,000
Preferred stock = Number of preferred stock issued * Par value of preferred stock = 3,100 * $10 = 31,000
APIC – Preferred stock = Number of preferred stock issued * (Preferred stock cash per share - Par value of preferred stock) = 3,100 * ($23 - $10) = $40,000
Therefore, the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet at December 31 can now be prepared as follows:

The company is now using only 70% of its normal capacity; it could fully use its normal capacity by processing the assembly further and selling it for $51 per unit. If the company does this, material and labor costs will each increase by $2 per unit and variable overhead will go up by $1 per unit. Fixed costs will increase from the current level of $160,000 to $225,000.
Required:
Prepare an analysis showing whether Jensen should process the assemblies further.
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the analysis shows whether the assemblies should process further or not is presented below:
Differential revenue (38,000 units × ($51 - $44)) $266,000
Differential costs:
Direct material (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)
Direct labor (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)
Variable overhead (38,000units × $1 per unit) ($38,000)
Fixed costs ($160,000 - $225,000) ($65,000)
Additional income (loss) from processing further $11,000
Since the amount comes in positive so it should be processed further
Leandro Corp. manufactures wooden desks. Production consists of three processes: cutting, assembly, and finishing. The following costs are given for April: Cutting Assembly Finishing direct materials $7,000 $10,000 $3,000 direct labor 3,000 14,000 2,000 applied overhead 4,000 5,000 6,000 There were no work in process inventories and 1,000 podiums were produced. What is the cost transferred out of the assembly department. a.$29,000 b.$43,000 c.$54,000 d.$14,000 e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
a. $29,000
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the cost transferred out of the assembly department is computed as;
We would sum up all the cost associated with the Assembly department.
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead
Direct materials = $10,000
Direct labor = $14,000
Overhead = $5,000
Therefore, cost transfered out of the assembly department is
= $10,000 + $14,000 + $5,000
= $29,000
3. The price elasticity of demand for wine is estimated to be 1 at all possible quantities. Currently, 200 million gallons of wine are sold per year, and the price averages $6 per bottle. Assuming that the price elasticity of supply of wine is 1 and the current tax rate is $1 per bottle, calculate the current excess burden of the tax on wine. Suppose the tax per bottle is increased to $2 per bottle. What will happen to the excess burden of the tax as a result of the tax increase
Answer:
The excess burden would quadruple to $33,333
Explanation:
In order to calculate the excess burden as a result of the tax increase, we first calculate the excess burden at current tax rate which is $1 per bottle. Excess burden is calculated using the following formulae:
W = 1/2(T)²(Q/P) x (Es x Ed / (Es - Ed))
where:
T = Tax per unit
Q = Total Quantity
P = Price per unit
Es = Elasticity of Supply
Ed = Elasticity of Demand
W = 1/2(1)² (200,000/6) x (1 x 1 / (1 - (-1)))
W = 1/2 (33.333) x (1/2)
W = $8,333
Now after-tax rate goes up to $2, the excess burden would as follow:
W = 1/2(2)² (200,000/6) x (1 x 1 / (1 - (-1)))
W = 2 (33.333) x (1/2)
W = $33,333 per year
Hence, the excess burden is $33,333 after the increase in tax.
Geralt of Rivia is an independent contractor who specializes in monster-killing. His unique skills have earned him the bargaining power to sell his services at a high price to those willing to pay for the removal of infestations of fire elementals, rock trolls, royal wyverns, or the like. Geralt specializes only in hard-to-kill monsters, however, leaving the likes of basiliks and harpies, monsters lower on the totem pole, to less sophisticated monster slayers.
Given these facts, based on the Generic Business Strategies framework, we might say that Geralt occupies the_______ (1) quadrant of the framework.
When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a/n _______(2)
Geralt often buys potions and elixirs from various alchemists to help his fighting ability. However, he can make these potions and elixirs himself if he has the time. If he were to do this instead of buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of________ (3)
When Geralt takes a contract, it usually requires about a week of planning and preparation, which includes trips to the armorer, time spent making alchemical concoctions that protect him during the confrontation with the monster(s), and the staking out of ideal fighting ground when the battle occurs. As such, Geralt ofter has to choose between contracts, sometimes accepting one contract while forgoing the opportunity to pursue another contract. As we have discussed, this decision constitutes a_________ (4).
Now, let's say that Geralt is governed by a neutral "Council of Witchers" that ensure that those who purchase Geralt's services (e.g., rich villages or principalities plagued by monster infestations) are well-served, and that Geralt spends their gold in ways that work toward the removal of the targeted monsters which these clients have paid to have removed.
We might say that this "Council" serves as Geralt's role in this arrangement. Geralt, in turn, serves as the ______(5) and that the purchasers of Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the________ (6) in this arrangement. х (1) differentiation (2) buyer х (3) forward integration (4) tradeoff (5) management х (6) party __________(7) agent
Answer: 1. Differentiation focus
2. Buyer
3. Backward Integration
4. Trade off
5. Board of directors
6. Principal
7. Agent
Explanation:
1. Geralt is using Differentiation focus strategy as it gives the customers a product which they believe is superior than other similar products although the price if the product is higher than others. The product is unique from other products.
2. When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a buyer.
3. If Geralt makes the potions and elixirs himself if he has the time rather than buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of backward integration. This is because he's expanding his role by taking up a task that's being completed previously in the supply chain.
4. Since Geralt has to choose between contracts, this is a trade off. Trade occurs when we've to choose between alternatives. In this case, we forgo some at the expense of others.
5. Based in the information given, Geralt serves as the board of director.
6. Those who buy Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the Principal.
7. Geralt serves as the agent. He's the one negotiating contracts and supplying what's needed.
Fore Farms reported a pretax operating loss of $210 million for financial reporting purposes in 2021. Contributing to the loss were (a) a penalty of $10 million assessed by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law and paid in 2021 and (b) an estimated loss of $20 million from accruing a loss contingency. The loss will be tax deductible when paid in 2022. The enacted tax rate is 25%. There were no temporary differences at the beginning of the year and none originating in 2021 other than those described above. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to recognize the income tax benefit of the net operating loss in 2021. 2. What is the net operating loss reported in 2021 income statement
Answer:
Fore Farms
1. Journal Entry
Debit Net operating loss $180 million
Credit Loss Carryforward Relief $180 million
To record the income tax benefit of the net operating loss.
2. The net operating loss reported in 2021 income statement is $180 million.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Enacted tax rate = 25%
2021 Reported pretax operating loss = $210 million
Less:
Penalty for EPA violation = 10 million
Loss contingency accrued
(temporary difference) = 20 million
Net pretax operating loss = $180 million
b) The net operating loss (NOL) suffered by Fore Farms, after adjusting non-allowable penalty for EPA violation and temporary differences, will be used to offset the company's tax payments in subsequent tax periods. This is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax provision called a "loss carryforward." It allows some tax relief to Fore Farms for losing money in 2021.

Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2021 exceeded that reported for tax purposes by $7 million. The installment receivable account at year-end 2021 had a balance of $8 million (representing portions of 2020 and 2021 installment sales), expected to be collected equally in 2022 and 2023. Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $2 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2021. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2021 and 2022. Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2020 at a cost of $112 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method, assuming a four-year useful life. On the tax return, deductions for depreciation will be more than straight-line depreciation the first two years but less than straight-line depreciation the next two years ($ in millions):
Answer:
1. Taxable income = $76 million
2. Net income = $65.25 million
3-a. Net current Deferred Tax Asset = $1.95 million
3-b. Net current Deferred Tax Liability = $6.25 million
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answers I now provided as follows:
1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021, and prepare the appropriate journal entry.
1-a. Note: See the attached excel file for the determination of the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021 and the taxable income.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Taxable income = $76 million
1-b. The journal entries will look as follows:
Details Debit ($'m) Credit ($'m)
Tax expense (6.75 + 19 - 3) 22.75
Deferred tax asset (25% * (1 + 13 - 2)) 3.00
Deferred tax liability (25% * (7 + 20)) 6.75
Tax payable (25% * 76) 19.00
(To record tax expense.)
2. What is the 2021 net income?
This can be determined as follows:
Net income = Pretax accounting income - Tax expense = $88 million - $ 22.75 million = $65.25 million
3. Show how any deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2021 balance sheet.
3-a. The deferred tax amounts should be classified as follows.
From installment receivable in point (a) in the question:
Current deferred tax liability in 2022 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1
Noncurrent deferred tax liability in 2023 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1
From the depreciation in point (c.) in the question:
Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25%* ((24 + 24) - (14 + 7))) = $6.75
From the Warranty Expense/Payable in point (d.) of the question:
Current deferred tax asset (40%* 3) = $1.20
From the Acrrued Expense/Payable in point (e.) of the question:
Current deferred tax asset (25%* 7) = $1.75
Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25% * $6) = $1.50
3-b. These will be reported reported in the 2021 balance sheet as follows:

if you are going to create or own a business, what would it be? List at least 3 and cite your reasons why you have listed them.
Answer:
If I were to create a business, and had to choose three alternatives of commercial sectors in which to get involved, I would choose the following:
-Renewable energies, given that given the eventual disappearance of fossil fuels and the rise of electric cars, renewable energies will become the main source of power in the medium-term future.
-Mining of cryptocurrencies, inasmuch as these currencies have been classified as the money of the future, and the exponential growth they have had since their inception has been remarkable.
-Retail of essential consumer goods, such as food, as it is a necessary industry and whose consumption, despite the ups and downs of the economy, never declines.

Marshall Welding Company has two service departments (Cafeteria and Human Resources) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The number of employees in each department follows. Cafeteria 20 Human Resources 30 Machining 100 Assembly 150 Marshall Welding uses the step-down method of cost allocation and allocates cost on the basis of employees. Human Resources cost amounts to $1,200,000, and the department provides more service to the firm than Cafeteria. How much Human Resources cost would be allocated to Machining
Answer:
the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is given below:
= Cost of the human resource × machining department ÷ (machining department + assembly department)
= $1,200,000 × 100 ÷ (100 + 150)
= $480,000
hence, the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000

Home Inspirations. Hailey works for her father in a family-owned business called Home Inspirations, a bedding company that has been in operation since the 1800s. When her father retires, Hailey plans on taking over the business. Hailey is aware of many things about the company that she likes, and a few things that she does not. She has particularly noted that when the economy has low unemployment and high total income, sales are great. However, at any other time, sales are not so good.
Currently, all of the bedding items are created in one place and everyone works on various tasks every day. Hailey is thinking about streamlining the production process so that individuals would be responsible for only one task. She believes that if production would increases, she could sell her products at a lower price and increase revenue. She knows that most bedding products available in the market are very similar in nature and satisfy the same need. However, if she were able to lower prices, this might give her company the competitive advantage that it needs. She would then be able to invest money in differentiating her products by providing unique features, building the brand name, and offering services such as free delivery. She is also considering selling her products on the Internet. Hailey knows that her father does not like change very much, but she feels these changes are important for the future of the company.
Hailey feels that for productivity to improve, the company must practice: _________.
a. Free enterprise,
b. Work ethics,
c. Specialization,
d. Cultural diversity,
e. Pure competition.
Answer:
c. Specialization,
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that she selling her product on the internet and she knows her father does not like the changes but she knows that it would be important for the company .
So here if she wants to improve the productivity of the product so she must practice in specialization as if the product is different from the competitor in terms of quality, price, quantity, attractiveness, etc so the chances of increasing the sales would be high
Hence, the option c is correct
The economy is in long-run equilibrium. Technological change shifts the long-run aggregate supply curve $120 billion to the right. At the same time, government purchases increase by $30 billion. If the MPC equals 0.8 and the crowding-out effects are $30 billion, we would expect that in the long run. (C)
a. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be lower
b. both real GDP and the price level would be lower
c. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
d. both real GDP and the price level would be higher
Answer:
C. Real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
Explanation:
Real gdp would get to be higher as long run aggregate supply goes up. Prices would go down because as long run aggregate supply goes up, aggregate demand does not experience the same proportional increase. As long run aggregate supply goes up, short run aggregate supply falls backwards.

Machinery purchased for $73,800 by Blossom Co. in 2016 was originally estimated to have a life of 8 years with a salvage value of $4,920 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been entered for 5 years on this basis. In 2021, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 10 years with a salvage value of $5,535 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Required:
Prepare the entry to correct the prior years' depreciation, if necessary.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Prior year depreciation lies in the Profit Reserve called Retained Earnings and in the Asset therefor correct Profit Balance and Asset Balances to effect this adjustment.
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value ) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
Utilize the following financial information to answer the question. Current value of land $2,000,000 Cost to rebuild the physical structure $7,500,000 Furniture, fixtures and equipment $ 500,000 Economic deductions $ 800,000 Functional obsolescence $ 200,000 Physical deterioration $1,000,000 Based on the cost replacement approach, how much would be estimated value of the property
Answer: $8,000,000
Explanation:
Based on the cost replacement approach:
Estimated value = Land Value + Replacement Value - Deductions from value
Replacement value = Cost to rebuild physical structures + Furniture
= 7,500,000 + 500,000
= $8,000,000
Economic deductions:
= 800,000 + 200,000 + 1,000,000
= $2,000,000
Estimated value = 2,000,000 + 8,000,000 - 2,000,000
= $8,000,000
Meiji Isetan Corp. of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 3,000,000 $ 9,000,000 Net operating income $ 210,000 $ 720,000 Average operating assets $ 1,000,000 $ 4,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 15%. Compute the residual income for each division. 3. Is Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income an indication that it is better managed?
Answer:
1. Return on Investment = Sales Margin / Capital turnover
= (Net income / Sales) ÷ (Assets / Sales)
Osaka:
= (210,000 / 3,000,000) ÷ (1,000,000 / 3,000,000)
= 0.07 / 0.33
= 21%
Yokohama
= (720,000 / 9,000,000) ÷ (4,000,000 / 9,000,000)
= 0.08 / 0.44
= 18%
2. Residual income = Operating income * (Required return * Average operating assets)
Osaka = 210,000 - (15% * 1,000,000)
= $60,000
Yokohama = 720,000 - (15% * 4,000,000)
= $120,000
c. No is isn't because Residual income is not a good matric to use to compare companies or departments as it does not show the amount of assets used by the companies being compared.

Folklore Music manufactures harmonicas. Folklore uses standard costs to judge performance. Recently, a clerk mistakenly threw away some of the records, and only partial data for July exist. Folklore knows that the total direct labor variance for the month was $350 F and that the standard labor rate was $11 per hour. A recent pay cut caused a favorable labor rate variance of $0.40 per hour. The standard direct labor hours for actual July outputs were 5,910.
Required:
a. Find the actual number of direct labor hours worked during July. First, find the actual direct labor rate per hour. Then, determine the actual number of direct labor hours worked by setting up the computation of the total direct labor variance as given.
b. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Do these variances suggest that the manager may have made trade-offs? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The actual direct labor rate per hour will be:
= Standard direct labor rate per hour - favorable labor rate variance
= $11 - $0.40
= $10.60
Then, the actual direct labor hours worked during July will be calculated as:
= (5910 × $11) - $350 / $10.6
= ($65010 - $350) / $10.6
= $64660 / $10.6
= 6100
b. The direct labor rate variance will be:
= (Actual rate per hour - standard rate per hour) × Actual labor hours
= (10.60 - 11.00) × 6100
= 2440F
Direct labor efficiency variance will be:
= (6900 - 5910) × $11
= 2090U
The direct labor rate variance that was favorable shows that the manager paid a lower rate to its staffs while the direct labor efficiency variance that was unfavorable implies that the manager used less efficient workers. This indicates that a trade-off took place.
= (6900
