Retained earnings are the part of net income that are not distributed as to shareholders as dividends but are instead retained for investment that could improve future earnings of the firm.
Rate of return is the return that shareholders or management are expecting to generate from a business venture.
Rate of return must always be equal to or greater than a target rate or pre-planned rate if not, it decreases the wealth of the shareholders or decreases the value of the company.
You want to have $18,000 in 9 years for a dream vacation. If you can earn an interest rate of .5 percent per month, how much will you have to deposit today
Answer:
$10,503.59
Explanation:
This question requires us to find how much you have to deposit today if:
Fv = 18,000
Time = 9 years
PV= fv/(1 + i)^n
N = 9 X 12 = 108
I/y = 0.5%
PV = $18,000 / 1.005^108
= $10,503.59
Therefore what you have to deposit today is $10,503.59

Tunneling Inc. fixed costs are at $100,000. The company has sales of 10,000 units with a price of $84 and variable cost per unit of $40. The depreciation is $50,000 and taxes are 21 percent. What is the degree of operating leverage
Answer:
Tunneling Inc.
Degree of operating leverage
= Contribution Margin divided by Operating Income
= $440,000/$290,000 = 1.52
Explanation:
(a) Data and Calculations:
Sales Revenue = $840,000 (10,000 x $84)
Variable cost = $400,000 (10,000 x $40)
Contribution = $440,000
Fixed costs = $100,000
Depreciation = $50,000
Operating Income = $290,000
Tax (21%) ($60,900)
Net Income = $229,100
(b) The degree of operating leverage for Tunneling Inc. is 1.52. It shows the financial impact of a change in sales revenue on Tunneling Inc.'s earnings. Analysts usually work this ratio out to determine this important effect.
Duluth Ranch, Inc. purchased a machine on January 1, 2018. The cost of the machine was $35,000. Its estimated residual value was $11,000 at the end of an estimated 5-year life. The company expects to produce a total of 20,000 units. The company produced 1,300 units in 2018 and 1,750 units in 2019.
Required:
a. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 using the straight-line method.
b. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 using the units-of-production method.
c. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 through 2022 using the double-declining balance method.
Answer:
Duluth Ranch, Inc.
a. Depreciation Expense for 2018 and 2019, using the straight-line method:
2018: $24,000/5 = $4,800
2019: $24,000/5 = $4,800
b. Depreciation Expense for 2018 and 2019, using the units-of-production method:
2018 = 1,300 x $1.20 = $1,560
2019 = 1,750 x $1.20 = $2,100
c. Depreciation Expense for 2018 through 2022, using the double-declining balance method:
Depreciation Rate = 100%/5 x 2 = 40%
Beginning Bal. Depreciation Declining balance
2018: $35,000 $14,000 ($35,000 x 40%) $21,000 ($35,000 - 14,000)
2019: $21,000 $8,400 ($21,000 x 40%) $12,600 ($21,000 - $8,400)
2020: $12,600 $1,600 ($12,600 x 40%)* $11,000 ($12,600 - $1,600)
2021: $11,000 $0
2022: $11,000 $0
*NB: The calculated depreciation expense for 2020 is $5,040. But, the balance after depreciation must not be below the residual value. So, only the difference is expensed.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of machine = $35,000
Residual value = 11,000
Depreciable amount $24,000
Useful life = 5 years
Straight-line depreciation per year = $24,000/5 = $4,800
Expected production unit = 20,000
Depreciation rate per unit = $24,000/20,000 = $1.20
b) The straight-line method of depreciation simply divides the depreciable amount ($24,000) by the useful life of 5 years to determine a straight-line depreciation expense of $4,800 per year.
c) The unit-of-production method calculates the depreciation rate per unit (Depreciable amount divided by total expected production units) and applies this rate, $1.20, to the total units produced in each period to determine the depreciation expense.
d) The double-declining balance method divides 100% by the useful life of the asset and then multiplies this 2, to obtain the depreciation rate. This rate is then applied to the cost and declining balance each year. The double-declining balance method, initially does not take into cognizance the residual value of the asset. It only considers this salvage value towards the end when it adjusts the depreciation charge for the last year so that the declined balance will equal to the residual value.

Shows up in the.
GDP Scenario
A decrease in the price of a Treewood Equipment feller buncher, which is a commercial forestry machine made in the U.S. but not bought by U.S. consumers
An increase in the price of a German-made phone that is popular among U.S. consumers Deflator CPI.
Answer:
1st scenario shows the GDP deflator and second shows the CPI.
Explanation:
The consumer price index (CPI) is determined by dividing the market price of commodities (basket) with the base year prices of that basket or commodity and then multiply with a hundred. The CPI reflects only the price of goods and services brought by the consumer.
Therefore, the first scenario price of a treewood is the GDP deflator and the second scenario is CPI.
Price Manufacturing assigns overhead based on machine hours. The Milling Department logs 1,800 machine hours and Cutting Department shows 3,000 machine hours for the period. If the overhead rate is $5 per machine hour, the entry to assign overhead will show a:
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Work in progress Dr, $24,000
To Manufacturing Overhead $24,000
(Being the overhead assigned is recorded)
For recording this we debited the work in process as it increased the assets and credited the manufacturing overhead for assigning the overhead
Working note
Overhead amount = (Milling Department + Cutting department) × Overhead rate
= (1,800 + 3,000) × $5
= $4,800 × $5
= $24,000
The specifications for a plastic liner for a concrete highway project calls for thickness of 5.0 mmplus or minus±0.10 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm.  
The upper specification limit for this product​ = ? mm ​(round your response to three decimal​places).
The lower specification limit for this product = ? mm (round to three decimal palces)
The process capability index (CPk) = ? (round to three decimal places)
The upper specification lies about ? standard deviations from the centerline (mean thickness)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Upper specification limit is
= 5 + 0.1
= 5.1 mm
Lower specification limit is
= 5- 0.1
= 4.9 mm
The process cabability index is
= min(USL - mean ÷ 3 × standard deviation , mean - LSL ÷ 3 × standard deviation)
= min((0.1 ÷ 3 ×0.02) , (0.1 ÷ 3 × 0.02))
= min(1.67,1.67)
= 1.67
Since Upper specification is 5.1 mm
And, the Mean line is 5 mm
So, the upper specification lies at a distance for
= 5.1 - 5
= 0.1 mm
Standard deviation is 0.02 mm
Hence, upper specification lies at
= 0.1 ÷ 0.02
= 5
This standard deviation from the means

Square Hammer Corp. shows the following information on its 2018 income statement: Sales = $264,000; Costs = $170,000; Other expenses = $7,900; Depreciation expense = $14,500; Interest expense = $13,300; Taxes = $20,405; Dividends = $10,000. In addition, you’re told that the firm issued $4,800 in new equity during 2018 and redeemed $3,300 in outstanding long-term debt. a. What is the 2018 operating cash flow
Answer:
The 2018 operating cash flow is $86,100.
Explanation:
Operating Cash flow is different from Income as it only involves movement in cash.
Thus our first step is to find the Operating Income then adjust it with non-cash items to reach an Operating Cash flow amount.
Sales = $264,000
Less Costs = ($170,000)
Less Other expenses = ($7,900)
Depreciation expense = ($14,500)
Operating Income = $71,600
Adjust for non-cash item - depreciation
Operating Income = $71,600
Add back depreciation = $14,500
Operating Cash flow = $86,100
Interest expenses and taxes are not part of operating income as they arise out of secondary activities of the company.
Conclusion :
The 2018 operating cash flow is $86,100.

The fair value of net identifiable assets of a reporting unit of Y Company is $270,000. The carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets on Y Company's books is $320,000, including $50,000 of goodwill before any impairment. If the reported goodwill impairment for the unit is $10,000, what would be the fair value of the entire reporting unit?
Answer: $310,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the fair value of net identifiable assets of a reporting unit of Y Company is $270,000 and that the carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets on Y Company's books is $320,000, including $50,000 of goodwill before any impairment. We are further told that the reported goodwill impairment for the unit is $10,000.
To calculate the fair value of the entire reporting unit, we deduct the goodwill impairment for the unit which is $10,000 from the carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets on Y Company's books which is $320,000. This will be:
= $320,000 - $10,000
= $310,000

12. A company has an EPS of $2.00, a book value per share of $20, and a market/book ratio of 1.2x. what is its P/E ratio
Answer:
P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times
Explanation:
We know that the P/E ratio is calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share or EPS.
P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share
We already have EPS. We need to calculate the price per share.
It is given that book value per share is $20 and the market to book ratio is 1.2x or 1.2 times. Using the formula for market to book ratio, we calculate the market price per share to be,
M/B = Market price per share / Book value per share
1.2 = Market price per share / 20
20 * 1.2 = Market price per share
Market price per share = $24
So, P/E ratio = 24 / 2
P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times

= $57,880
In practice, the gross income (wages or salaries) of an employee is entitled to some compulsory deductions such as States Taxes, Federal Taxes, Federal Payroll tax, Benefit, Insurance Etc.
Here, various information of Tax rate have been given, therefore, the computations of the requirement goes as followsTotal Salary Expense = Number Of Employees * Hourly rate * Hours worked
Total Salary Expense = 100 * $20 * 40
Total Salary Expense = $80,000
Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = Federal Income Taxes + FICA Taxes + States Income Taxes
Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = ($80,000 * 15%) + ($80,000 * 7.65%) + ($80,000 * 5%)
Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = $12,000 + $6,120 + $4,000
Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = $22,120
Actual Direct Deposit of Payroll = Total Salary Expense - Taxes
Actual Direct Deposit of Payroll = $80,000 - $22,120

A push strategy is favorable when a company Multiple Choice wants to advertise consumer goods. has long distribution channels. needs to explain complex new products. faces high inflation rates. has sufficient print or electronic media available.
Answer:
wants to advertise consumer goods.
The push strategy of marketing helps if the company is new, or if the company wants to advertise a new consumer good.
The new company or the new consumer good is probably not well-known among consumers, and for this reason, pushing the product to them is likely to be more helpful in obtaining sales than a pull strategy.
Needs to explain complex new products.
Complex products like some consumer electronics often need to be sold under a push strategy in which the salesperson explains the product in detail to the potential customer.
This is done because otherwise, consumers may feel intimidated by the complexity of the product, and desist from acquiring it.

Use the following information to answer questions 4a.1-4a.5 Gerrell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 18,000 shares of stock and $95,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 14,000 shares of stock and $190,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent. Compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $90,000. The all-equity plan would result in 22,000 shares of stock outstanding. Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, what is the EPS for each of these plans
Answer:
Gerrel Corp.
EPS (Earnings per share) = Earnings after Tax/Number of outstanding shares
Plan I:
EBIT = $90,000
Interest = $4,750 ($95,000 x 5%)
Pre-Tax Income = $85,250
Income Tax Exp. 34,100 ($85,250 x 40%)
After Tax Income $51,150
EPS = $51,150/18,000 = $2.84 per share
Plan II:
EBIT = $90,000
Interest = $9,500 ($190,000 x 5%)
Pre-Tax Income = $80,500
Income Tax Exp. 32,200 ($80,500 x 40%)
After Tax Income $48,300
EPS = $48,300/14,000 = $3.45 per share
Plan III:
EBIT = $90,000
Pre-Tax Income = $90,000
Income Tax Exp. 36,000 ($90,000 x 40%)
After Tax Income $54,000
EPS = $54,000/22,000 = $2.45 per share
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Plan I = 18,000 shares + $95,000 debt
Plan II = 14,000 shares + $190,000 debt
Difference = 4,000 shares + $95,000 debt
Share price = $95,000/4,000 = $23.75
EBIT = $90,000
Interest Rate = 5%
Corporate Tax Rate = 40%
b) Capital Structure:
Plan I: (Equity and Debt)
Shares of 18,000 x $23.75 + $95,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital
Plan II: (Equity and Debt)
Shares of 14,000 x $23.75 + $190,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital
Plan III: (All-equity plan):
Shares of 22,000 x $23.75 = $522,500 in total capital
c) The Earnings per share is the measurement of the Net Income to stockholders divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives an idea about the profitability of the entity, especially with regard to the profit made for common stockholders. The EPS is also one of the metrics used in the calculation of the P/E ratio to indicate whether a company's shares are undervalued or overvalued.
During 2018, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $142,000. By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $101,000. Pave estimates that 25% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts.
Required:
Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2018.
Answer:
Dr Bad Debt Expense 10,250
Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 10,250
Explanation:
Preparation of the Journal entry to Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on for Pave Construction
Since we were told that the company provides services on account of the amount of $142,000 in which by the end of the year 2018, the cash collections total the amount of $101,000 which means we have to less $101,000 from $142,000 which gave us $41,000.
We were as told that Pave estimates that 25% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts this means we have to find the 25% of $41,000 which gave us $10,250.
Therefore the transaction will be recorded as:
Dr Bad Debt Expense 10,250
Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 10,250
($41,000 x 25%)
Service provided $142,000- Cash collection $101,000=$41,000

Total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan = Amount required * Interest rate per year * Number of years = $890,000 * 11% * 2 = $195,800
For Short term variable-rate
First year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * First year interest rate = $890,000 * 7.25% = $64,525
Second year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * Second year interest rate = $890,000 * 12.55% = $111,695
Total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate = First year interest cost + Second year interest cost = $64,525 + $111,695 = $176,220
Therefore, we have:
Interest Cost
Long term fixed-rate plan $195,800
Short term variable-rate $176,220
B. Which plan is less costly?
Since the total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate of $176,220 is less than $195,8000 total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan, the Short-term variable-rate plan is therefore less costly.

Answer:
The Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017 is $10,430
Explanation:
In order to calculate the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017 we would have to make the following calculation:
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=Estimated Allowance 1-30 days+Estimated Allowance 31-60 days+Estimated Allowance 61-90 days+Estimated Allowance over 90 days
Estimated Allowance 1-30 days=Balance*% Uncollectible
Estimated Allowance 1-30 days=$152,000*1%=$1,520
Estimated Allowance 31-60 days=$87,000*2%=$1,740
Estimated Allowance 61-90 days=$50,000*3%=$1,500
Estimated Allowance over 90 days=$27,000*21%=$5,670
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=$1,520+$1,740+$1,500+$5,670
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=$10,430

Rasheed works for Company A, earning $299,000 in salary during 2019. Assuming he is single and has no other sources of income, what amount of FICA tax will Rasheed pay for the year
Answer:
$13,466
Explanation:
For 2019, the wage limit for Social Security tax is $132900
Thus;
Social Security tax $132,900x 6.2% = $8,239.80
Medicare tax = $299,000 x 1.45% = $4335.50
Additional Medicare Tax ($299,000 - $200000) x 0.9% = $891
therefore,
Amount of FICA Tax = $8239.80 + $4335.50 + $891 = $13,466.30 which is approximately $13,466

An organizational structure is a system that specifies how business operations, such as standard norms, task distribution or personnel roles, coordination, responsibilities, and supervision, are directed in order to help the organization achieve its goals, aims, and objectives.
