Answer:
Light Company
Merchandise Inventory:
Goods $2,400 sold on FOB shipping point = $0
Goods $3,400 bought on FOB shipping point = $3,400
Goods $4,400 on consignment = $4,400
Goods $5,400 with net realizable value of $1,200 = $1,200
Value of inventory owned by Light Company = $9,000
Explanation:
a) Goods $2,400 sold on FOB shipping point: FOB shipping point means Free on Board shipping point. This trade term specifies when ownership right is established, that it is at the shipping point and not the destination of the goods when the buyer takes possession. The ownership was transferred to customer at shipping point with all risks and benefits. They no longer belong to Light and are therefore not part of Light's inventory after the shipment.
b) Goods $3,400 bought on FOB shipping point: As explained above, the ownership right and obligation were transferred at shipping point. The goods belong to Light as it is the lawful owner based on the shipping term.
c) Goods $4,400 on consignment: Goods on consignment do not belong legally to consignee though they are at his physical possession. They belong to the consignor until they are sold to a third party.
d) Goods $5,400 with net realizable value of $1,200: The value of an item is not actually the cost but what it can be sold for. This is especially so for an item that had previously suffered some damage. The net realizable value is therefore to be used to account for the damaged goods so that profit is not overstated.
The Supplies Expense account was debited $1,240 by the Sanford Company for office supplies purchased during the first year of operations. At year-end, the office supplies on hand were counted and the cost of the on-hand items was $880. The appropriate adjusting entry would:
Answer:
The Decrease in expenses $360
Explanation:
Since the supplies expense is debited by $1,240 for office supplies purchased
and the office supplies on hand is $880
So, the remaining office supplies left is
= Supplies expenses debited for Office supplies purchased - office supplies on hand
= $1,240 - $880
= $360
This $360 represent that there is a decrease in expenses

Explanation:
Radovilsky Manufacturing Company, in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production facility 300 days per year. It has orders for about 11,800 flashing lights per year and has the capability of producing 95 per day. Setting up the light production costs $48. The cost of each light is $0.95. The holding cost is $0.10 per light per year.
A) What is the optimal sizeof the production run?
B) What is the average holding cost per year?
C) What is the average setup cot per year?
D) What is the total cost per year, including the cost of the lights?
Answer:
Please see answers below.
Explanation:
Annual demand rep D=11,800
Setting up cost rep S = $48
Holding cost per year rep H=$0.1
Production rate per year = Production facility × Capability of production
=300 × 95
=28,500
Therefore;
a. Optimal size of the production
Q = √2DS/H(1-D/P)
= √2×11,800×48/0.1(1-11,800/28,500)
=√11328000-0.5859649123
=√11328000.586
=$3,366
b. Average holding cost per year
=QH/2(1-D/P)
=3,366×0.1/2(1-3,366/28,500)
=168.3(0.8818947368)
=$148.42
C. Average set up cost
=D/Q × S
=11,800/3,366 × 48
=$168.27
D. Total cost per year = Average set up cost + Average holding cost per year + Cost to purchase 11,800 lights
= $148.42 + $168.27 + 11,800(0.95)
= $11,526.69

Select the most appropriate answer about bringing components from other continents.
A. It never affects innovation of the final product.
B. It potentially results in better products for the customer.
C. It always increases the cost of the final product.
D. It always lowers the quality of the final product.
E. It has no impact on the production lines in the home country.
Answer: B. It potentially results in better products for the customer.
Explanation:
Importation of components for the production of a good might lead to a potentially better product for consumers because the knowledge base of a superior country in manufacturing the said component would be utilized.
One benefit of Globalization is that better products than can be made locally can be sourced from outside countries so that products are better and stronger.
If a company imports components it could be because they are trying to save costs or it could be that they found Superior products than they did at home. Should the latter be the case then there is a chance that they will make better products because of these better components.
Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. It added 14,800 units of direct materials during the period at a cost of $103,600; 11,100 units were completed during the period; and 3,700 units were 32% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $58,700 and factory overhead was $8,800. The total cost of units completed during the period was a.$77,700 b.$138,694 c.$130,742 d.$166,433
Answer:
b.$138,694
Explanation:
units started during the period 14,800
total cost for the period $103,600
11,100 units were completed
3,700 were 32% completed with respect to overhead and labor = 1,184 equivalent units
100% of units were completed with respect to materials
direct labor $58,700
cost per equivalent unit = $58,700 / 12,284 units = $4.7786 per unit
overhead $8,800
cost per equivalent unit = $8,800 / 12,284 units = $0.7164 per unit
materials $103,600
cost per equivalent unit = $103,600 / 14,800 = $7 per unit
total cost per equivalent unit = $4.7786 + $0.7164 + $7 = $12.495
total cost of completed units = $12.495 x 11,100 = $138,694.50
On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $250,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 8% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $37,258. What amount of principal will be included in the first annual payment
Answer:
Principal payable in year 1 = $17,258
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The annual installment is computed as follows:
Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor .
The annual installment is already given as 37,258.
Principal payable = Annual installment - interest amount
Interest amount = Interest rate × loan amount
= 8%× 250,000 =20,000
Principal payable in year 1 =37,258 - 20,000 =$17,258
Principal payable in year 1 = $17,258

Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A has an IRR of 11%, while Project B's IRR is 14%. When the WACC is 8%, the projects have the same NPV. Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?a. If the WACC is 9%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. b. If the WACC is greater than 14%, Project A's IRR will exceed Project B's. c. If the WACC is 13%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's. e. If the WACC is 6%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Answer:
d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment
While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage
Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR
Therefore option d is correct

transaction in the accounting equation
Since we were told that Jack Pickle decided to start a small business in form of a corporation in which his initial investment was the sum of $4,000 cash and the cash was in exchange for common stock, therefore using accounting equation this means when we want to record Jack Pickle transactions we have to increase the cash by the sum of $4,000 and the increase common stock by the sum of $4,000.
Increase cash by $4,000 and Increase common stock by $4,000
Firm Y has issued 500 million shares of stock at $1 par value and $200 millino in additional paid in capital. Retained earnings are $5.6 billion. What is the return on equity if net income if net income is $1.1 billion?
Answer:
Return on equity = 17.46%
Explanation:
DATA:
Issued share capital = $500m
Additional Paid-in capital = $200 million
Retained Earnings = $5.6 billion
Net Income = $1.1 billion
Return on Equity = ?
Solution
Return on equity can be calculated by dividing net income in total shareholder's equity
NOTE: ALL THE WORKINGS ARE IN 1000's
Return on equity = Net Income / Shareholder's Equity
Return on equity = 1,100,000 / (500,000 + 200,000 +5,600,000)
Return on equity = $1,100,000/6,300,000
Return on equity = 17.46%
On May 1, Southern Oil Corporation purchased 2,000 shares of its $10 par value common stock at a cash price of $13/share. On July 15, 900 shares of the treasury stock were sold for cash at $17/share. Journalize the two transactions. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem.)
Answer:
1.
May 1,
DR Treasury Stock $ 26,000
CR Cash $26,000
(To record purchase of Treasury Stock)
Working - 2,000 * $13 per share
= $26,000

July 15,
DR Cash $ $15,300
CR Treasury Stock $11,700
CR Additional Paid-in Capital $3,600
(To record sale of Treasury Stock)
Working and Notes
Cash = 900 * $17 per share = $15,300
Treasury Stock = 900 * purchase price of $13 per share = $11,700
When a stock is sold for more than it was bought or issued for, record this in the Additional Paid-in Capital account.
= Cash - Treasury
= 15,300 - 11,700

Your company, Beta Corporation, is considering a new project which you must analyze. Based on the following data, what is the project's Year 1 operating cash flow?
Sales $22,000
Depreciation $8,000
Other operating costs $12,000
Tax rate 35%
Answer:
Net operating cash flow= $9,300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $22,000
Depreciation $8,000
Other operating costs $12,000
Tax rate 35%
We need to determine the net operating cash flow:
Sales= 22,000
Other operating costs= (12,000)
Depreciation= (8,000)
EBIT= 2,000
Tax= (2,000*0.35)= (700)
Depreciation= 8,000
Net operating cash flow= 9,300
Contracts are a form of private law because the terms contained within a contract bind the relevant parties, not the public as a whole.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: True.
Explanation:
To begin with, the contracts inside the law are regulated by the Anglo-America common law that defines a contract as the agreement between two or more parties in which they establish the basis and principles of the agreement and the clauses that could cause to end the contract. Moreover, a contract is also part of the civil law and therefore that it does not implicate the public as a whole in any way due to the fact that in order to be a correct contract the parties must accept the bond between only them and nobody else.
Bob owns a rental property that he bought several years ago for $260,000. He has taken depreciation on the house of $37,000 since buying it. He sells it in 2019 for $290,000. His selling expenses were $12,000 for the year. What was Bob’s realized gain on the sale?
Answer:

= $55,000
Conclusion :
Bob’s realized gain on the sale is $55,000,
Government officials have hired your consulting firm to encourage more people to use the theater . In the initial meeting, you discussed several options for increasing demand. Three suggestions are listed below. Based on your knowledge of the law of demand, what is your recommendation for each suggestion?
Suggestion 1: Reduce the price of public transportation
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 2: Increase the prices of private transportation by increasing the price of parking and gasoline
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 3: Offer monthly and yearly passes that reduce the price per ride
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Answer:
Suggestion 1: Not Recommended
Suggestion 2: Recommended
Suggestion 3: Not Recommended
Explanation:
The law of demand says that the increase in the price of the commodity will result in decrease in the utility derived from that product and as a result the consumption of the product falls.
So by keeping the law of demand in view, we can say that the:
Reduction in price of public transportation is not recommended because every transporter will start investing in public transport and we will have higher number of buses per person.The increase in the price of parking and gasoline is recommended as the increase in parking fees and gasoline cost will discourage people to buy private transportation.Offer of monthly and yearly passes to reduce the price per ride is not recommended as it encourages the cyclists to travel via bus. Hence it is not recommended.Prior to May 1, Fortune Company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 160 shares of its common stock on May 1 for $8,000.

What is the balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2
Answer: $80
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that prior to May 1, Fortune Company has never had any treasury stock transactions and that a company repurchased 160 shares of its common stock on May 1 for $8,000. The price per share will be:
= $8,000/160
= $50 per share
The balance in paid capital as at May 1 will be 0.
On July 1, it reissued 80 of these shares at $52 per share. This means that there is an increase of ($52 - $50) = $2 per share.
The balance paid on capital as at July 1 will be:
= $2 × 80
= $160
On August 1, it reissued the remaining treasury shares at $49 per share. This mean that there is a reduction of $1 per share.
The balance paid on capital as at August 1 will be:
= -1 × $80
= -$80
The balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2 will now be:
= $160 - $80
= $80
As a Cost and Management Consultant in the banking industry in Ghana, one of your highly esteemed clients, a top tier banking institution in Ghana has required of you to advise them as to whether target costing can be applied to the banking industry in Ghana. They further require you to advise them on what products or services can target costing be applied
Answer with its Explanation:
The target costing is a costing technique that helps to reduce the cost of the company operations by setting cost targets for the operations. The first step under target costing is to set a selling price for the product and the second step is to set the target profit margin. Now at this position we are able to derive the target cost by taking the difference of profit margin and the selling price of the product. At this stage the actions and reforms required to achieve this target cost are determined and implemented in the current operating activities. The best part of the target costing is that it says that the pricing though matters but the main aspect of a product success is its cost controls. If the company is able to control the cost of the product then it can control the movement of prices in the market. So target costing specially focuses and stresses upon cost control procedures.
As Target costing is all about cost controlling and can be applied to any sector. In Ghana, target costing will help to control the cost of the services that the banking sector renders to its customers. This reduction in services cost can be achieved by automation, installation of new softwares, Investing in automated teller machines, etc. By gaining efficiencies, the banking sector will substantially reduce its cost thus achieving its target cost.
By achieving the target cost the bank will have to sell at the same rate as the bank had invested its time and money in efficiency gaining activities. There are a lot of activities and products that can be automated and that can help to achieve the target cost. For example, promoting internet banking will reduce the cost of ATM management, paper cost, management time, additional branch opening or extension of building, etc. We can see how easily internet banking will assist the banking sector to achieve its target costs.

A random sample of 10 parking meters in a beach community showed the following incomes for a day. Assume the incomes are normally distributed. $3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00 Find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean. (Be sure to indicate your calculations for mean and standard deviation)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01
Explanation:
In order to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the true mean we would have to calculate first the mean and standard deviation as follows:
mean=∑Xi/n
mean=$3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00/10
mean=4.7
standard deviation=√∑(Xi-mean)∧2/n-1
standard deviation=1.83
t critical=2.262
The confidence interval=mean +/- t critical*standard deviation/√10
The confidence interval=4.7 +/- 2.262*1.8338/√10
The confidence interval=(3.39, 6.01)
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01
Costs that are incurred in generating revenues during the period, but are not involved in the manufacturing process are referred to as
Answer:
Period costs
Explanation:
Period costs are Costs that are incurred in generating revenues during the period, but are not involved in the manufacturing process. These cost are not related directly to the production process. These costs cannot be capitalized on the company's balance sheet.

Two solutions are investigated for a safety program Soution 1 First cost ---25,000 annual maintenance cost 4,000 Life -- 2years Solution 2 First cost ---88,000 annual maint 1400 Life 6 years Neither project has a salvage value Compare the two solutions using present value using 15% interest- what is present cost of solution 2
Answer:
Present value for solution 2 = $93,298.28
Solution 1 has a lower cost compared to solution 2. Solution 1 would be more desirable based on the lower cost
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cashflows
Solution 1
Cash flow in year 0 = 25,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = 4,000
I = 15%
Present value = $31,502.84
Solution 2
Cash flow in year 0 = 88,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 6 = 1,400
I = 15%
Present value = $93,298.28
Solution 1 has a lower cost compared to solution 2. Solution 1 would be more desirable based on the lower cost

identify the cultural differences that are likely to arise between costco us employees and local employees are working in australia spain and china
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question seems to be incomplete because it does not provide any references, we can say that the cultural differences that are likely to arise between Costco US employees and local employees that are working in Australia Spain, and China are the result of totally different cultures, idiosyncrasies, customs, and traditions.
American customers are so different from Australian, Chinese, or Spanish consumers. What works in one country would not work in another. What is success in the US could be a failure in Spain. We are talking about different preferences, tastes, likes, and traditions.
That is why it is so important that Costco branches in other countries survey and understand local people's minds and tastes, so employees in each country can be trained in customer services, local preferences, assertiveness, human and business orientation, and many others.
