Larkspur, Inc. reports net income of $89,770 in 2017. However, ending inventory was understated by $7,100. Collapse question part (a) What is the correct net income for 2017
Answer:
$96,870
Explanation:
The understatement of ending inventory causes the cost of goods sold to be overstated and the gross and net income to be understated by the same amount.
If the 2017 ending inventory was understated by $7,100 then the correct net income figure for 2017 will be $7,1000 more that what was reported.
Therefore, 2017 corrected net income
= $89,770 + $7,100
= $96,870

Given the following cash flows for a capital project for the Witter Corp., calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8 percent. Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000; Year 1 = 15,000; Year 2 = 15,000; Year 3 = 20,000; Year 4 = 10,000; and Year 5 = 5,000. The discounted payback period is
Answer:
4.01 years
Explanation:
The computation of the discounted payback period is shown below;
Given that
Required rate of return is 8%
Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000;
Year 1 = 15,000;
Year 2 = 15,000;
Year 3 = 20,000;
Year 4 = 10,000;
and Year 5 = 5,000
As we can see from the attached table that approx in 4 years it could cover $49,975
So
the discounted payback period is
= 4 years + ($50,000 - $49,975.91) ÷ $3,402.92
= 4.01 years

ellie has been working for an engineering firm and earning an annual salary of 80000 she decides to open her own engineering business her annual expenses will be
Answer:
A $185,700 revenue will yield Ellie's business $50,000 in economic profits.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question :
Ellie has been working for an engineering firm and earning an annual salary of $80,000. She decides to open her own engineering business. Her annual expenses will include $15,000 for office rent, $3,000 for equipment rental, $1,000 for supplies, $1,200 for utilities, and a $35,000 salary for a secretary/bookkeeper. Ellie will cover her start-up expenses by cashing in a $20,000 certificate of deposit on which she was earning annual interest of $500. Which of the following statements is correct?
A $185,700 revenue will yield Ellie's business $50,000 in economic profits. Ellie's annual accounting costs will equal $80,500.
A $185,700 revenue will yield Ellie's business $50,000 in accounting profits. Ellie's annual implicit costs will equal $55,200.
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Ellie's total explicit cost = office rent + rentals + supply + utilities + salary for a secretary
$15,000 + $3,000 + $1,000 + $35,000 + $1,200 = $55,200
If revenue is $185,700, accounting profit = $185,700 - $55,200 = $130,500
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Ellie's implicit cost = $80,000 + $500 = $80,500
Economic profit = $130,500 - $80,500 = $50,000

$85,000 and Rocko can also receive $38,000 for trading in the old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $14,000 per year over its five-year life. Should the machine be replaced
Answer: Yes, because income will increase by $23,000.
Explanation:
Since the new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $14,000 per year over its five-year life, the savings for the five years will be:
= $14000 × 5
= $70000
The extra cost needed will be:
= $85000 - $38000
= $47000
Based on the above calculation, the net gain will be:
= $70000 - $47000
= $23000.
Therefore, the machine should be replaced because income will increase by $23,000.
Direct Materials Variances Bellingham Company produces a product that requires nine standard pounds per unit. The standard price is $8.5 per pound. If 2,100 units used 18,100 pounds, which were purchased at $8.93 per pound, what is the direct materials (a) price variance, (b) quantity variance, and (c) cost variance
Answer:
The correct answer is:
(a) -7783
(b) 6800
(c) -983
Explanation:
According to the given values in the question:
(a)
The price variance will be:
= [tex](8.5-8.93)\times 18100[/tex]
= [tex]-0.43\times 18100[/tex]
= [tex]-7783[/tex] (Favorable)
(b)
The quantity variance will be:
= [tex](2100\times 9-18100)\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex](18900-18100)\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex]800\times 8.5[/tex]
= [tex]6800[/tex] (Unfavorable)
(c)
The cost variance will be:
= [tex](2100\times 9\times 8.5)-(18100\times 8.93)[/tex]
= [tex](160650)-(161633)[/tex]
= [tex]-983[/tex] (Favorable)
Geraldine, an attorney, rendered legal services in organizing an oil and gas partnership in the current year. Instead of submitting a bill for her services. Geraldine accepted a 10% capital interest in the partnership. Geraldine's normal charge for the services performed would have been $10,000. The fair market value of the 10% interest received by Geraldine was $12,000. How much should Geraldine report on her current year's income tax return
Answer:
Geraldine
The amount that Geraldine should report on her current year's income tax return as income from the above exchange is:
= $10,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Geraldine's normal charge for the services performed = $10,000
The fair market value of the 10% interest received by Geraldine = $12,000
Geraldine's partnership interest = 10%
This is because $10,000 is also her basis in the partnership interest and not $12,000 the fair market value of the 10% interest.
Net Income $1,200 ($500) $2,300 Net Cash Flows $500 $300 $2,800 Dividends $200 $0 $200 Issuance of Stock $2,000 $0 $0 The above amounts represent totals from the first three years of operations. Calculate the balance of Retained Earnings at the end of 2018.
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
The computation of the balance of Retained Earnings at the end of 2018 is shown below;
= net income - dividend
= $1,200 - $500 + $2,300 - $200 - $0 - $200
= $2,600
We simply deduct the dividend amount from the net income so that the balance of the retained earning could come

Rodrigo was eager to make a presentation on the benefits of improvisation in the workplace. When he arrived in the conference room, he realized that seven bankers would attend the presentation via computer conferencing from offices in other states. This presentation provides an example of __________. synchronous communication in-person communication co-located communication asynchronous communication
Answer:
synchronous communication
Explanation:
The above question refers to an example of synchronous communication, which occurs when there is communication between two or more people in real time, not requiring physical presence, but which can occur virtually, such as through videoconferences and phone calls.
In the above situation, Rodrigo would make a presentation at work that would be attended in real time by seven bankers, through a computer conference of offices in other states, in real time, so it is correct to say that this example refers to synchronous communication.
In the work environment, synchronous communication in a virtual way is very beneficial because it allows the integration between work teams, customers and branches of the company, without the need for physical presence, which increases the speed of organizational processes and decisions, reduces the costs and enables greater organizational coordination.

For financial reporting, Clinton Poultry Farms has used the declining-balance method of depreciation for conveyor equipment acquired at the beginning of 2018 for $2,560,000. Its useful life was estimated to be six years with a $160,000 residual value. At the beginning of 2021, Clinton decides to change to the straight-line method. The effect of this change on depreciation for each year is as follows:
Year Straight-Line Declining Balance Difference
2018 $400 $853 $453
2019 400 569 169
2021 400 379 (21)
$1,200 $1,801 $601
Required:
Prepare any 2018 journal entry related to the change?
Answer:
A change in the depreciation method is not a change of accounting policies. Therefore, this change will not require any retrospective journal entry for 2018. Changes in depreciation methods are prospective, meaning that they affect future values, not past values. This is considered a change in an accounting estimate.

At Susko Systems Inc., employees with exceptional performance ratings are three to four more times as likely to be promoted in comparison to employees who receive average or below average ratings. Susko Systems most likely uses the promotion criterion of _____ to promote its employees.
Answer:
Merit.
Explanation:
Human resources management (HRM) can be defined as an art of managing, controlling and improving the number of people (employees or workers), functions, activities which are being used effectively and efficiently by an organization.
Hence, human resources managers are saddled with the responsibility of recruiting, managing and improving the welfare and working conditions of the employees working in an organization.
An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.
Basically, an employee is saddled with the responsibility of providing specific services to the organization or company where he is currently employed while being paid a certain amount of money hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the contractual agreement between the two parties (employer and employee).
Hence, while an employer may be the owner of a business firm or company, an employee is a subordinate employed to provide unwavering services to the employer while also, being professional and diligent at all times.
In this scenario, Susko Systems most likely uses the promotion criterion of merit to promote its employees. A merit is function of the performance of an employee.
Assume that the reserve requirement is 10 percent. Also assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and there is no cash held by the public. The Federal Reserve decides that it wants to expand the money supply by $50 million using open-market operations. In order to accomplish its goal, the Fed needs to $____________ million worth of bonds.
Answer:
$5 million
Explanation:
Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement
0.1 x 50 million = 5 million
Pare, Inc. purchased 10% of Tot Co.'s 100,000 outstanding shares of common stock on January 2, Year 1, for $50,000. On December 31, Year 1, Pare purchased an additional 20,000 shares of Tot for $150,000. There was no goodwill as a result of either acquisition, and Tot had not issued any additional stock during Year 1. Tot reported earnings of $300,000 for Year 1. What amount should Pare report in its December 31, Year 1, Balance Sheet as investment in Tot
Answer:
$230,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount should Pare report in its December 31, Year 1, Balance Sheet as investment in Tot
Based on the information given the 10% ownership percentage will be used in Year 1 reason been that the additional 20% purchased in 12/31/Year 1, hence In Year 2, 30% earnings would be recorded in the investment account
Investment account at 12/31/Year 1 =[(Actual ownership percentage*Outstanding shares of common stock 1/2/Year 1)+ 1/2/Year 1 Common stock value ] +(Additional ownership percentage*Outstanding shares of common stock 12/31/Year 1 )+ 12/31/Year 1 Additional shares value]
Let plug in the formula
Investment account at 12/31/Year 1 =
[(100,000*10%)+$50,000]+[(100,000*20%)+$150,000
Investment account at 12/31/Year 1 =($10,000+$50,000)+($20,000+$150,000)
Investment account at 12/31/Year 1 =$60,000+$170,000
Investment account at 12/31/Year 1 =$230,000
Therefore The amount that Pare should report in its December 31, Year 1, Balance Sheet as investment in Tot is $230,000

And, the Total marginal cost = 7 million
Based on the above information
We can see that the new office should be opened as the marginal benefit would be more than the marginal cost
Therefore the first option is correct
And, the rest of the options would be incorrect
Whitman has a direct labor standard of 2 hours per unit of output. Each employee has a standard wage rate of $26.50 per hour. During July, Whitman paid $120,790 to employees for 4,700 hours worked. 2,600 units were produced during July. What is the flexible budget amount for direct labor
Answer:
$137,800

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.80 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $25,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer:
-$79000
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) is shown below;
Particulars Per unit Total 13000 units
Make Buy Make Buy
Direct materials 2.90 37700
Direct labor 7.50 97500
Variable manufacturing
overhead 8.00 104000
Supervisor's salary 3.40 44200
Contribution margin 25000
Purchase cost 29.80 387400
Total 308400 387400
Now the finacial disadvantage is
= 308400 - 387400
= -$79000

Explanation:
Innovation is the creation of something new that makes money. In order to be profitable, innovations must be both novel and useful.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;
1. Core benefit.
2. Generic product.
3. Expected product.
4. Augmented product.
5. Potential product.
The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.
Hence, the term that refers to the first level of a product, which depends on the customer value it generates is generally referred to as a core benefit. For example, a hotel provides a comfortable and convenient bed to spend the night (sleep) when you travel for a vacation.
Innovation typically involves the creation of a new product of any category such as automobile, building, phones, electronics, etc., that generates money for the innovators or manufacturers through purchase made by the end users (consumers).
In order for the innovator to make profits, it is expected or required that his or her innovation is both novel and useful.
