Assume that on January 1, 2012, a parent company acquired a 70% interest in a subsidiary's voting common stock. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the subsidiary's net assets equaled their reported book values except for machinery and equipment, which had a fair value of $480,000 and a reported book value of $250,000. The machinery and equipment had a 5 year remaining useful life and no salvage value. The following are the highly summarized pre-consolidation income statements of the parent and subsidiary for the year ended December 31 , 2013:
Income Statement Parent Subsidiary
Revenues $2,160,000 $288,000
Equity income 60,200
Expenses 1440000 144,000
Net income $780,200 144,000
For the year ended December 31, 2013, what amounts will be reported for (1) consolidated net income and (2) net income attributable to the non-controlling interest, respectively, in the parent's consolidated financial statements?
Answer: 1. $818,000
2. Check attachment
Explanation:
1. The amounts that will be reported for consolidated net income will be $818,000.
(2) Note that for the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest, respectively, in the parent's consolidated financial statements was calculated as:
= ($144,000 - $46,000) × 30%
= $98,000 × 0.3
= $29400

On December 1, year 1, Lester Company issued at 103, four hundred of its 9%, $1,000 bonds. Attached to each bond was one detachable stock warrant entitling the holder to purchase 10 shares of Lester's common stock. On December 1, year 1, the market value of the bonds, without the stock warrants, was 95, and the market value of each stock purchase warrant was $50. The amount of the proceeds from the issuance that should be accounted for as the initial carrying value of the bonds payable would be:______
a. $387,280.
b. $391,400.
c. $400,000.
d. $412,000.
Answer:
Lester Company
The amount of the proceeds from the issuance that should be accounted for as the initial carrying value of the bonds payable would be:______
c. $400,000.
Explanation:
Bonds issued at 103, 9% $1,000
Number of bonds issued = 400
Face value of bonds = $1,000 * 400 = $400,000
Proceeds from Bonds = $1,030 * 400 = $412,000
Premium from bonds issue = $12,000 ($412,000 - 400,000)
Carrying amount = $400,000
$400,000 is the bonds payable at maturity. The $12,000 bonds premium will be amortized with the interest expense. This implies that for the life of the bonds, part of the $12,000 will be deducted from the annual interest expense.
Determining the true cash balance, starting with the unadjusted book balance
Nickleson Company had an unadjusted cash balance of $7,176 as of May 31. The company’s bank statement, also dated May 31, included a $67 NSF check written by one of Nickleson’s customers. There were $1,239 in outstanding checks and $255 in deposits in transit as of May 31. According to the bank statement, service charges were $35, and the bank collected an $600 note receivable for Nickleson. The bank statement also showed $14 of interest revenue earned by Nickleson.
Required:
Determine the true cash balance as of May 31. (Hint: It is not necessary to use all of the preceding items to determine the true balance.)
True cash balance
Answer:
True Cash Balance $7,688
Explanation:
The computation of the true cash balance is shown below:
Unadjusted Cash Balance as of May 31 $7,176
Add: Interest Earned $14
Note Collected by Bank $600
Less: NSF check ($67)
Less Bank charges ($35)
True Cash Balance $7,688
Hence, the true cash balance is $7,688 and the same is to be considered

If there is a technological advance that lowers the cost of producing x-ray machines, then we can say that the
Answer:
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
Explanation:
the options are missing:
A ) quantity demanded for those machines will increase.
B) demand for those machines will shift right.
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
D) quantity supplied of those machines will decrease.
If production costs decrease, the supply curve will shift to the right, increasing the total quantity supplied while decreasing the sales price. Advances in technology increase productivity, which allows companies to supply a higher amount of goods at lower prices, which in turn increases the total quantity demanded for these goods.

Tom and Betsy, who are married filing jointly, reported a standard deduction of $24,000 on their 2018 tax return. They paid $500 to the state for income taxes in 2018. In 2019, they received a $125 refund of state taxes paid in 2018. What is the amount that Tom and Betsy need to report on their 2019 tax return?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since Tom and Betsy didn't itemize their deductions in 2018 (they chose the standard deduction), they didn't include the state taxes in their tax filing. Since the state taxes were not used by Tom and Betsy to reduce their federal income taxes, then any refund will not be included in their current income. Only if state taxes are used to lower federal taxes, do taxpayers need to include any refund.

Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for clear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence.
Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow.
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xcite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.
Paragraph C: The leadership at the Xcite San Francisco site has been phenomenal during the last ten years. Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments. In the next two months, a new leadership team will be formed for the Los Angeles site. This team will consist of transferred employees from the San Francisco site. We will be offering many of you a chance to be part of this move. Additional training will be required for all who are transferring, and moving costs will not be covered. Xcite looks forward to opening another location with excellent products, high profits, and 100 percent employee and customer satisfaction.

Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
the company should choose method 1
Explanation:
Method 1 Method 2
Initial outlay $550,000 $830,000
operating costs (years 1,2,3) $160,000 $120,000
salvage value $125,000 $324,000
we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:
method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 = $853,982
method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996

What are the five steps to understanding how foreign born labor impacts native born workers?
Answer:
HOW MUCH DO FOREIGN - BORN WORKERS EARN?
Foreign-born individuals typically earn less than native-born individuals — on average, 83 cents for every dollar earned by their native-born counterparts. That disparity generally holds true across age groups and education levels, with one significant exception. Foreign-born individuals with a bachelor’s degree or more had median weekly earnings of $1,362 per week in 2018, about $53 per week higher than the median for the native-born population with that level of education.
A company sold land, investments, and issued their own common stock for $11 million, $15 million, and $21 million, respectively. They also purchased treasury stock, equipment, and a patent for $2 million, $2 million, and $4 million, respectively. a. What amount should the company report as net cash flows from investing activities
Answer:
Net cash flow from investing activities: $20 million
Net cash flow from financing activities: $19 million
Explanation:
a. Calculation for flow from investing activities
Sale of land $11
Sale of investments 15
Purchase of equipment (2)
Purchase of patent (4)
Net cash flow from investing activities: $20
b. Calculation for Cash flow from financing activities
Issuance of common stock $21
Purchase treasury stock (2)
Net cash flow from financing activities: $19
Therefore Net cash flow from investing activities is $20 million while Net cash flow from financing activities is $19 million
The following data pertain to the Oneida Restaurant Supply Company for the year just ended.
Budgeted sales revenue $205,000
Actual manufacturing overhead 336,000
Budgeted machine hours (based on practical capacity) 8,000
Budgeted direct-labor hours (based on practical capacity) 20,000
Budgeted direct-labor rate $14
Budgeted manufacturing overhead $364,000
Actual machine hours 11,000
Actual direct-labor hours 18,000
Actual direct-labor rate $15
Required:
a. Compute the firm's predetermined overhead rate for the year using each of the following common cost drivers: (a) machine hours, (b) direct-labor hours, and (c) direct-labor dollars.
b. Calculate the over-applied or under-applied overhead for the year using each of the cost drivers listed above.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate/Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 / 8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 / 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 * $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 / $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5 * 11,000 = $500,500
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2 * 18,000 = $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Actual direct-labor rate * Predetermined overhead rate
Manufacturing overhead applied = 18,000 * $15 * $1.3 = 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000
we know that
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate ÷ Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 ÷8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 ÷ 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 × $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 ÷ $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $45.5 × 11,000
= $500,500
So,
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $18.2 × 18,000
= $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Actual direct-labor rate × Predetermined overhead rate
= 18,000 × $15 × $1.3
= 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000

You have just been hired as a financial analyst for Barrington Industries. Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 5% interest rate. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:

A real estate agent is considering changing her land line phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.41 a minute for daytime calls and $.16 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.51 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $80 with 300 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening.
a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Cost for Plan A $
Cost for Plan B $
Cost for Plan C $
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (Round each answer to the nearest whole number.Include the indifference point itself in each answer.)
c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Answer:
a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.
Cost for Plan A = ($0.41 x 120) + ($0.16 x 40) + $20 = $ 75.60Cost for Plan B = ($0.51 x 120) + ($0.15 x 40) + $20 = $ 87.20Cost for Plan C = $80 + $20 = $100b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
If the agent will use the service only for daytime calls, Plan A is better if the agent uses 195 minutes maximum. If the agent expects to use 196 or more minutes, then Plan C is better.c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B?
Plan A charges 10¢ less per daytime minute, while plan B charges 1¢ less for evening minutes, that means that the proportion of daytime calls should be 1/11, while the proportion of evening calls should be 10/11.A company has net working capital of $1,996. If all its current assets were liquidated, the company would receive $5,923. What are the company's current liabilities?

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 67,000 units and transferred 72,500 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 11,500 units in inventory, 85% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
A) 82,275 materials; 79,400 conversion
B) 65,275 materials; 62,400 conversion
C) 64,450 materials; 69,550 conversion
D) 77,175 materials; 79,400 conversion
E) 77,175 materials; 76,850 conversion
Answer:
A) 82,275 materials; 79,400 conversion
Explanation:
Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Raw Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Raw Materials
Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 85%) = 9,775
Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%) = 72,500
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 82,275
2. Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 60%) = 6,900
Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%) = 72,500
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 79,400
Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000.
Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer: $412,600
Explanation:
AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings
Increase in Assets
= 5,000,000 * 15%
= $750,000
Increase in Liabilities
For liabilities use only the Accounts payable and Accruals.
= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%
= $135,000
Additional to Retained Earnings
= After tax Profit * ( 1 - Payout ratio)
= (9,200,000 * 4%) * ( 1 - 45%)
= $202,400
= 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400
= $412,600
Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms. A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.
Required:
a. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the product approach.
b. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the expenditure approach.
c. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the income approach.
d. Now, suppose that the coconut producer cannot sell 1 million coconuts during the course of the year. These are collected coconuts that are not sold to the public (assume that sales to the other firm, the restaurant, remain the same).
e. How does this new piece of information affect your calculations in the expenditure approach? Explain.
A) Product Approach
GDP = Value added of all industries
Value added = revenue - intermediate costs
Value added coconut producer = $20,000,000 (it does not have intermediate costs)
Value added restaurant = $30,000,000 - $12,000,000 (cost of coconuts)
= $18,000,000
Value added government = $5,500,000 (collected in taxes, $3 million from the restaurant, $1.5 million from the coconut producer, and $1 million from consumers).
GDP = $20,000,000 + $18,000,000 + $5,500,000
= $43,000,000
B) Expenditure Approach
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports
Consumption = $8,000,000 in coconuts + $30,000,000 in meals
= $38,000,000
Investment = $0
Government Spending = $5,500,000 in government wages
Net Exports = $0 (it is a closed-economy)
GDP = $38,000,000 + $0 + $5,500,000 + $0
= $43,500,000
C) Income Approach
Wages = $14,500,000
Corporate Profits = $24,000,000
Interest income = $500,000
Taxes = $4,500,000
GDP = $43,500,000
e. How does this new piece of information affect your calculations in the expenditure approach? Explain.
GDP under the expenditure approach, would rise by the value of the unsold coconuts ($1 million) as long as the coconuts were harvested in the given year. This is because inventory produced in the given year, is part of that year's GDP.

Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.
Answer: escalation of commitment
Explanation:
Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.
From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.
The Wod Chemical Company produces a chemical compound that is used as a lawn fertilizer. The compound can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per day. Annual demand for the compound is 0.6 million pounds per year. The fixed cost of setting up for a production run of the chemical is $1,500, and the variable cost of production is $3.50 per pound. The company uses an interest rate of 22 percent to account for the cost of capital, and the costs of storage and handling of the chemical amount to 12 percent of the value. Assume that there are 250 working days in a year.
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?
Answer:
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
first we have to determine the holding cost per unit = h = (22% + 012%) x ($3.5) = $1.19 per unit, per year
then we have to calculate the modified holding cost per year = h' = h x [1 / (D/P)] = $1.19 x [1 / (600,000/2,500,000)] = $0.9044 per unit, per year
now we have to substitute h for h' in the EOQ formula:
Q' = √ [(2 x S x D) / h'] = √ [(2 x $1,500 x 600,000) / $0.9044] = 44,612.44 ≈ 44,612 units
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
Time between production runs = Q' / D = 44,612 / 600,000 = 0.07435333
Uptime = Q' / P = 44,612 / 2,500,000 = 0.0178448
Downtime = total time - uptime = 0.07435333 - 0.0178448 = 0.05650853
uptime = 0.0178448 / 0.07435333 = 24% of total time
downtime = 0.05650853 / 0.07435333 = 76% of total time
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?
average annual holding cost and setup costs = (AD/Q') + (h'Q'/2) = [($1,500 x 600,000) / 44,612] + [($0.9044 x 44,612) / 2] = $40,144
profit per unit = $3.90 - $3.50 = $0.40 per pound
total annual profit = ($0.40 x 600,000) - $40,144 = $199,856
