Answer:
The investment is worth $8,732.11 today.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,300
Number of years= 10
To calculate the present value, we need a discount rate. If not, the value of money through time is irrelevant.
Imagine a discount rate of 8% compounded annually.
First, we will calculate the future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {1,300*[(1.08^10) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $18,832.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 18,832.53/1.08^10
PV= $8,732.11

Dr land $278,000
Dr building $347,500
Dr equipment $556,000
Dr inventories $208,500
Cr cash $1,390,000
Explanation:
The total amount spent in acquiring the assets is $1,390,000 which needs to be shared between the assets acquired on the basis of individual values of the assets
Total of individual assets' values=$304000+$380000+ $608000+$228000=$ 1,520,000.00
Cost attributable to land:$304000/$1520000*$1,390,000=$ 278,000.00
Cost attributable to Building:$380000/$1520000*$1390000=$ 347,500.00
cost attributable to equipment=$608000/$1520000*$1390000=$556,000.00

Accounts Receivable has a balance of $ 5 comma 000, and the Allowance for Bad Debts has a credit balance of $ 420. The allowance method is used. What is the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable after a $ 140 account receivable is written off?
Answer:
$4,580
Explanation:
since we are using the allowance method, the journal entry to record the write off is:
Dr Allowance for bad debts 140
Cr Accounts receivable 140
So the accounts receivable balance = $5,000 - $140 = $4,860
the allowance for bad debts balance = $280
accounts receivable net balance = $4,860 - $280 = $4,580
Allowance for bad debts accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable.
An important element of just-in-time processing is Group of answer choices dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice. all of the above. a specialized workforce. less emphasis on a quality control system.
Answer:
dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice
Explanation:
I will first try to explain what the concept means. just in time processing is an inventory strategy that has to do with the ordering of materials at short notice and receiving these items just in time for the production process. It decreases inventory costs and waste and also raises efficiency since goods are only going to be received as they are needed for production.
Therefore the correct answer is: dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice.
On December 2, Coley Corp. acquired 1,000 shares of its $2 par value common stock for $27 each On December 20, Coley Corp. resold 400 shares for $30 each. Which of the following is correct regarding the effect of the reselling of shares on the accounting equation?
A. Assets decrease
B. Liabilities decrease
C. Expenses increase
D. Stockholders' Equity increases
Answer:
D. Stockholders' Equity increases
Explanation:
Cost of the share being resale = 400 shares x $27 = $10,800
Proceeds on the resale of shares = 400 shares x $30 = $12,000
Profit / Gain on resale = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200
As there is a profit of $1,200 the stockholders equity will be increased on the reselling of share.
As the assets section is increased because more cash is received against the cost of those shares.
The bid-ask spread exists because of _______________. A. market inefficiencies B. discontinuities in the markets C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit D. lack of trading in thin markets
Answer:
C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit
Explanation:
In the market for securities there are two pricing of securities.
The ask price is the price at which the buyer is willing to purchase a security.
The ask price or the offer price is price at which the seller of a security is willing to sell it. Ask price can be firm or negotiable.
Bid ask spread is the difference between the highest amount a buyer is willing to buy a security and the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell it.
This spread exists because dealers need to cover expenses and make a profit

The debit side is on the left hand side while the credit side is on the right hand side. At the end of the period, the accounts are balanced by making the two sides to agree in total with the difference being called the balancing figure.
Identify the phase (Phillips, stagflation, or recovery) the economy is in, and suggest what change in aggregate demand or aggregate supply might have caused it.
a. "President Nixon expressed satisfaction with last yearâs economic performance. He said that with inflation and unemployment heading down, the nation âis on the right course."
b. "The nationâs inflation rate rose to a record high last month, the government reported yesterday. The consumer price index jumped 0.3% in January. Coupled with the announcement earlier this month that unemployment had risen by 0.5 percentage points, the reports suggested that the first month of President Nixonâs second term had gotten off to a rocky start."
c. "President Carter expressed concern about reports of rising inflation but insisted the economy is on the right course. He pointed to recent reductions in unemployment as evidence that his economic policies are working."
Answer:
a. "President Nixon expressed satisfaction with last year's economic performance. He said that with inflation and unemployment heading down, the nation is on the right course."
⇒ RECOVERY. Economic recovery refers to the economy starting to grow again after a period of recession. A rightward shift in the aggregate supply curve should decrease unemployment and reduce inflation.
b. "The nation's inflation rate rose to a record high last month, the government reported yesterday. The consumer price index jumped 0.3% in January. Coupled with the announcement earlier this month that unemployment had risen by 0.5 percentage points, the reports suggested that the first month of President Nixon's second term had gotten off to a rocky start."
⇒ STAGFLATION. Stagflation refers to a combination of high inflation and high unemployment. A leftward shift in the aggregate supply curve can result in stagflation.
c. "President Carter expressed concern about reports of rising inflation but insisted the economy is on the right course. He pointed to recent reductions in unemployment as evidence that his economic policies are working."
⇒ PHILLIPS. According to the Phillips curve, inflation and unemployment are inversely correlated. if inflation goes up, unemployment should go down. Phillips theory was discredited due to stagflation occurring during Nixon's presidency. Nixon created stagflation for the first time in the US since it isn't normal that inflation rises as unemployment increases. That shows you how good a president he was, he even invented new things for Americans to enjoy.

Feldpausch Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity Assembly $ 1,398,250 65,800 machine-hours Processing orders $ 69,451 2,520 orders Inspection $ 184,800 2,400 inspection-hours The company makes 920 units of product W26B a year, requiring a total of 1,290 machine-hours, 61 orders, and 40 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $57.55 per unit and its direct labor cost is $13.56 per unit. The product sells for $123.50 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product W26B is:
Answer:
$16,125.15
Explanation:
DATA:
Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity
Assembly $1,398,250 65,800 machine hours
Processing orders $ 69,451 2,520 orders
Inspection $ 184,800 2,400 inspection-hours
Units produced = 920
Machine hours required = 1290
Processing orders required= 61
Inspection hours required = 40
Direct material cost = 57.55
Direct labor cost = 13.56 per unit
Selling price = 123.50
Solution
Sales Revenue (920 ×$123.5) $113,620
LESS: Costs
Direct Materials (920 × $57.55) $52,946
Direct labor (920 ×$13.56) $12,375.2
Assembly (1,398,250/65,800) = 21.25 × 1290= $27412.5
Processing (69,451/2,520) = 27.55 × 61 = $1681.15
Inspection (184,800/2,400) = 77 x 40 = $3080
Total Cost ($97494.65)
Product margin $16,125.15
On December 31, 2014, Flint Corporation sold for $100,000 an old machine having an original cost of $180,000 and a book value of $80,000. The terms of the sale were as follows:
$20,000 down payment
$40,000 payable on December 31 each of the next two years
The agreement of sale made no mention of interest; however, 9% would be a fair rate for this type of transaction. What should be the amount of the notes receivable net of the unamortized discount on December 31, 2012 rounded to the nearest dollar? (The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 9% for 2 years is 1.75911.)
a. $70,364
b. $90,364.
c. $80,000.
d. $140,728.
Answer:
a. $70,364
Explanation:
We must determine the present value of the notes receivable using the 9% discount rate.
PV of accounts receivable = $40,000 / 1.09 + $40,000 / 1.09² = $36,697.25 + $33,667.20 = $70,364.45
When a notes receivable is issued and carries no interests, you have to record the present value of the notes receivable in order to determine the amount that should be recorded as interest income in the future. In this case, interest income = $80,000 - $70,364 = $9,636
You are offered the right to receive $1000 per year forever, starting in one year. If your discount rate is 5%, what is this offer worth to you
Answer:
Worth of the offer =$20,000
Explanation:
The worth of this offer is the present value of the annual cash inflow receivable forever discounted at the given interest rate. The cash inflow receivable forever is known as a perpetuity
The present of a cash inflow receivable forever is given below:
PV = A× 1/r
A- annual cash inflow, r- discount rate, PV - Present value of a perpetuity
A- 1,000, r- 5%
PV = 1,000 × 1/0.05
PV = $20,000
Worth of the offer =$20,000

In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high _____ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high _____ scores.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.
Explanation:
1. MBTI personality model is the Myers-Briggs Theory. It was developed by the mother-daughter partnership of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. At the heart of Myers Briggs theory are four preferences, depicting personality preferences as follows:
1. People and things (Extraversion or "E"), or ideas and information (Introversion or "I").
2. Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and potential (Intuition or "N").
3. Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and relationships (Feeling or "F").
4. A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P").
These four major classifications mean that one tends to have more of each than the other. This means that there are 16 traits or combinations of traits for a given personality.
2. INTJ personality type: Disney "imagineers" are likely to direct their energies to deal with (Introversion) ideas, information, explanations, and beliefs, as people in research and development at Disney. The information they deal with will be based on ideas, new possibilities, and not obvious things (Intuition) instead of facts and what they know and see. Their decision making will be based on objective logic, using analytic and detailed approaches. Their work will be planned and well-structured to reflect their lifestyle as opposed to flowing with the trend and maintaining flexibility.
3. ISTJ personality class: Disney accountants will bear similar traits like the "imagineers" except that instead of dealing with unknown and not obvious ideas and possibilities like the imagineers, they would prefer their information for processing to be based on clear facts and what they see and know.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.
Explanation:
Item 11Item 11 You are going to deposit $24,500 today. You will earn an annual rate of 5.5 percent for 8 years, and then earn an annual rate of 4.9 percent for 11 years. How much will you have in your account in 19 years
Answer:
$63,637.94
Explanation:
$24,500 is deposited in the bank
5.5% annual rate will be earned in 8 years
= 5.5/100
= 0.055
4.9% annual rate will be earned in 11 years
= 4.9/100
= 0.049
The first step is to calculate the future value of the amount after 8 years
= amount deposited×(1+r)^n
r is the annual rate, n is the number of years
= $24,500×(1+0.055)^8
= $24,500×1.055^8
= $24,500×1.534686515
= $37,599.8196
Therefore, the amount that would be present in the account in 19 years can be calculated as follows
= amount at the end of year 8×(1+r)^n
where r = 0.049, n= 11
= $37,599.8196×(1+0.049)^11
= $37,599.8196×1.049^11
= $37,599.8196×1.692506597
= $63,637.94
Hence the amount present in the account in 19 years is $63,637.94

Answer:
The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150. The right answer is d.
Explanation:
In order to prepare The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 we would have to calculate the Salaries Payable as follows:
Salaries Payable=Salaries-FICA taxes withheld+Income taxes withheld+Medical insurance deductions
Salaries Payable=$12,000-$900+$2,500+$450
Salaries Payable=$8,150
Therefore, journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Salaries $12,000
FICA withheld $900
Income taxes withheld $2,500
Medical insurance deductions $450
salaries payable $8,150
So, The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150

If merchandise inventory is being valued at cost and the purchase price is steadily falling, which method of costing will yield the largest net income?
Answer:
The answer is LIFO
Explanation:
LIFO is Last in First out. It means the Inventory that was purchased last goes out first.
In periods LIFO, cost of sales reflects the cost of goods purchased recently and the ending Inventory reflects the older goods.
In periods of falling prices, the costs of ending inventory are high, cost of sales are low and the gross profit are high.
TwitterMe, Inc., is a new company and currently has negative earnings. The company’s sales are $2.1 million and there are 130,000 shares outstanding. a. If the benchmark price-sales ratio is 4.3, what is your estimate of an appropriate stock price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What if the price-sales ratio were 3.6? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. $69.46
b. 58.15
Explanation:
a. Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share
Sales per Share
= Sales / Shares outstanding
= 2,100,000/130,000
= $16.15
Price = 4.3 * 16.15
Price = $69.46
b. PS Ratio is 3.6
Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share
Price = 3.6 * 16.15
Price = $58.15
