Crane Company has 900 shares of 4%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2018. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2017 or 2018. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 totala) $400.b) $3600.c) $7200.d) $0.
Answer:
c) $7200
Explanation:
Preference dividends have preference when it comes to payment of dividends.
This means that we pay the Preference Stock holders their dividend (which is fixed) and there after the remainder is paid up to the Common Stockholders
Preference dividend = 900 shares x $100 x 4 % = $3600
When Preference Stock is Cumulative, it means that all previous dividends in arrears have to be paid up before any current year distributions are made.
2018
Cumulative Preference dividend = $3600 (2017) + $3600 (2018) = $7200
therefore,
Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 total $7200

Why might it be argued that corporations do not have a comparative advantage when investing in real estate as a means of diversification from the core business?
Solution :
Real estate is defined as something that is related to the buildings or lands. All the properties that are physically present forms real estate in terms of land and buildings. It includes, vacant land or buildings, commercial real estate, industrial as well as residential real estate.
The corporations does not have a comparative advantage when they invest in the real estate by a means of the diversification from its core business. This is because the organizations do not hold the real estate in the large number of the geographical area. They also do not hold a number of different types of the properties. Therefore, they do not tend to diversify from their real estate holdings as the large institutional investor who hold a more diversified and a larger portfolio.

Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.
Answer:
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.
The following calculations are made in the attached excel:
For Event 7, we have:
Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600
For Event 8, we have:
Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000
Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:
Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800
Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400
Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

A rectangle has length xcm and width (x-1)cm. If the perimeter is 14cm,
Find the value of x.
Answer:
x = 4 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of a rectangle = x cm
Width = (x-1) cm
The perimeter of the rectangle = 14 cm
We need to find the value of x.
We know that,
Perimeter = sum of all sides
14 = 2(x+x-1)
7 = 2x-1
8 = 2x
x = 4
So, the value of x is equal to 4 cm.
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
b. b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments.
Required:
Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
a. Net present value = $539,013.67
b. Net present value = $273,361.47
Explanation:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
Annual depreciation = (Expected machine cost – Predicted salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($616,000 - $40,000) / 6 = $96,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $180,000 + $96,000 = $276,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $276,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^6) / 0.12) = $276,000 * 4.11140732352233 = $1,134,748.42
Present value of predicted salvage value = Predicted salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $40,000 / (1 + 0.12)^6 = $20,265.24
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of predicted salvage value - Expected machine cost) = $1,134,748.42 + $20,265.24 - $616,000 = $539,013.67
b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Annual depreciation = (Machine cost – Salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($440,000 - $32,000) / 8 = $51,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $90,000 + $51,000 = $141,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $141,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^8) / 0.12) = $141,000 * 4.96763976683859 = $700,437.21
Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $32,000 / (1 + 0.12)^8 = $12,924.26
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of salvage value - Machine cost) = $700,437.21 + $12,924.26 - $440,000 = $273,361.47
During year 8, Clark Company manufactured equipment for its own use at a total cost of $2,400,000. The project required the entire year to complete and all costs were incurred uniformly throughout the year. At the beginning of the period, Clark was able to borrow $1,500,000 at 6% specifically for the purchase of materials and the manufacture of the equipment. The entire debt, with interest was repaid on December 31, year 8, replaced with a long-term loan. Throughout year 8, Clark Company had additional debt of $1,000,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 7%. If Clark Company capitalizes the maximum amount of interest allowable under GAAP, how much will Clark report as interest expense in year 8
Answer:
$88,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much will Clark report as interest expense in year 8
First step is to calculate the total interest expense for the year
Total interest expense = ($1,500,000 x 6%) + ($1,000,000 x 7%)
Total interest expense = $90,000 + $70,000
Total interest expense=$160,000
Second step is to calculate the weighted average costs
Weighted average costs = $2,400,000 / 2
Weighted average costs= $1,200,000
Third step is to calculate the capitalize interests
Capitalize interests =$1,200,000 x 6%
Capitalize interests= $72,000
Now let calculate the interest expense in year 8 using this formula
Year 8 Interest expense=Total interests - Capitalized interests
Let plug in the formula
Year 8 Interest expense= $160,000 - $72,000
Year 8 Interest expense= $88,000
Therefore The amount that Clark will report as interest expense in year 8 is $88,000
Bank charged interest on overdraft Rs. 500 journal entry
Answer:
interest is overdraft a/c.

Charleston Inc. acquired 75% of Savannah Manufacturing on January 4, 2020. During 2020, Charleston sold Savannah $460,000 of goods, which had cost $380,000. Savannah still owned 20% of the goods at the end of the year. In 2021, Charleston sold goods with a cost of $520,000 to Savannah for $700,000, and Savannah still owned 15% of the goods at year-end. What amount of intra-entity gross profit should be deferred in 2021
Answer:
Amount of profit to be deferred = $27,000Explanation:
The intra-entity gross profit that needs to be deferred can be calculated as follows:
In 2021:
The amount of price on goods sold = $700,000
The actual cost price = $520,000
Less: $180,000
Amount of profit to be deferred = Profit × percentage of goods at the year-end (2021)
Amount of profit to be deferred = $180,000 × 15%
Amount of profit to be deferred = $27,000Vaughn Manufacturing has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. 4900 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 4900 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 3700 pounds. Vaughn Manufacturing's materials quantity variance is
Answer:
$2,400 Unfavourable
Explanation:
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard cost
Given that:
Standard quantity = 3,700 pounds
Actual quantity = 4,900 pounds
Standard cost = $2
Therefore,
Direct materials quantity variance
= (3,700 - 4,900) × 2
= - $2,400
= $2,400 Unfavourable
The difference between the standard and actual quantity is negative. We used more pounds than expected, hence variance will be unfavourable.

If there isn't any then there is no need.
I applied to a university in mid October but it is June now an I haven't gotten a respond yet. is it a bad sign?
A man wants to help provide a college education for his young daughter. He can afford to invest $1500/yr for the next 5 years, beginning on the girl 's 5th birthday. He wishes to give his daughter $10,000 on her 18th, 19th , 20th, and 21 st birthdays, for a total of $40,000. Assuming 6% interest, what uniform annual investment will he have to make on the girl's 9th through 17th birthdays?
Answer:
$1,919.69
Explanation:
when the daughter is 9 years old, total savings = $1,500 x 5.6371 (FVIFA, 6%, 5 periods) = $8,455.65
first 5 payments:
birthdays = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
the present value of the $40,000 that he needs for her daughter's college = $10,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $34,651
the FV until the 17th birthday = $8,455.65 x 1.06⁸ = $15,650.82
he needs to save = $34,651 - $15,650.82 = $19,000.18
value of annual deposits = $19,000.18 / 9.8975 (FVIFA, 6%, 8 peridos) = $1,919.69
The market for the fast car with so much horsepower that handling becomes an issue is decreasing. People are more interested in buying SUVs and pickups. As a result, General Motors is stopping production of its Camaro, a car that has had limited sales recently. Since the Camaro can no longer generate enough cash to sustain its manufacture, the BCG portfolio would classify it as a:
Answer:
Dog.
Explanation:
In 1970, Bruce D. Henderson developed and created a growth-share matrix for the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) growth-share matrix is a tool used for analyzing and planning product lines in a business unit. It makes use of a graphical representation of a company's product line and services to analyze and make long-term strategic plans on which to invest more on or sell off.
Generally, products are divided into four (4) main categories in the BCG growth-share matrix;
1. Dogs.
2. Stars.
3. Question marks.
4. Cash cows.
A dog refers to a product or business unit that has a very low growth rate or market share and as such generates insufficient amount of revenues.
In this scenario, Camaro isn't able to generate sufficient (enough) cash to sustain its manufacturing or production process, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) portfolio would classify it as a dog.

And, the account receivable is zero as it does not have the account receivable till the delivery of the furniture
in this way it should be recorded
Analysts expect Placer Corp. to pay shareholders $2.25 per share annually for the next five years. After that, the dividend will be $3.50 annually forever. Given a discount rate of 12%, what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
$24.66
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the value of the stock today
First step is to calculate the PVP
PVP = $3.50 / .12
PVP= $29.17
Second step is to calculate the PV
PV = $29.17 / 1.125
PV= $16.55
Third step is to calculate the PVA
PVA = $2.25 {[1 - (1 / 1.125)] / .12}
PVA= $8.11
Now let calculate the value of the stock today
Using this formula
Price=PV+PVA
Let plug in the formula
Price = $16.55 + 8.11
Price= $24.66
Therefore the value of the stock today is $24.66

g On January 1, 2019 FirstEnergy Corp issued 19,000 shares of $100 par, 8%, cumulative, preferred stock for $110 per share. No dividends have been paid to preferred or common shareholders. What amount of dividends will a preferred shareholder owning 100 shares receive in 2021 if FirstEnergy pays $1,000,000 in dividends
Answer: $2640
Explanation:
Based in the information given,
Par value of preferred stock = $110
Rate of dividend = 8%
Therefore, the preferred dividend per share will be:
= $110 × 8%
= $110 × 0.08
= $8.80
It should be noted that the cumulative dividend from 2019 to 2021 will be for 3 years. Therefore, the dividend to 100 preferred shareholder in 2021 will be:
= 100 × $8.80 × 3
= $2640
Assume that the reserve requirement is 5 percent. All other things being equal, will the money supply expand more if the Fed buys $2,000 worth of bonds or if someone deposits in a bank $2,000 that she had been hiding in her cookie jar? If one creates more, how much more does it create? Support your thinking.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the reserve ratio is given as 5%, then the money multiplier will be:
= 1 / reserve requirement
= 1/5%
= 1 / 0.05
= 20.
Therefore, the money multiplier will increase by 20.
Then, the Money supply will be calculated as:
= amount x money multiplier
= 2000 x 20
= 40000
Therefore, the increase in the money supply will be $40000.
In this case, if the FED purchases $2000 worth of bonds, it'll expand the money supply more.
On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $20000 was purchased for $84000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (2nd year)= $16,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $84,000
Salvage value= $20,000
Useful life= 4 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (84,000 - 20,000) / 4
Annual depreciation= $16,000
