Answer:
Allocated operating costs= $576,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined operating costs allocation rate:
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= total estimated operating costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= (480,000 / 3,000) + 800
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= $960 per hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Night Light Division:
Allocated operating costs= Predetermined operating costs allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated operating costs= 960*600
Allocated operating costs= $576,000

b. Compute the deferred taxes at December 31, 2021, that relate to the temporary differences described above.
c. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a. Taxable income for 2021.
Sage Company:
Computation of Taxable income and income tax for 2021
Pretax financial Income = $87000
Permanent differences:
Fine for Pollution = $3200
Interest revenue on municipal bonds = -$1500
Temporary differences:
Less: Excess of depreciation as per tax over books = -$26400
Add: Warranty expense in books higher than as per tax = $4700
Less: Gross profit as per books higher than as per tax on construction contracts = -$18200
Taxable Income = $48800
Income Tax (20%) = $9760
b. Deferred Taxes:
Deferred tax assets = $4700*20% = $940
Deferred tax liability = ($26,400 + $18,200) * 20% = $8920
c. Note: Journal Entries are attached in the attachment below.

The general journal entries necessary to adjust the interest accounts at December 31 will be:
1. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $8,000 × 9% × 51/ 360 = $102
Credit: Interest payable = $102
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on November 10).
2. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% ×30/360 = $120
Credit: Interest payable = $120
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on December 1)
3. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% × 11/360 = $36.67
Credit: Interest payable = $36.67
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on December 20).
Cynthia, a sole proprietor, was engaged in a service business and reported her income on the cash basis. On February 1, 2013, she incorporates her business as Dove Corporation and transfers the assets of the business to the corporation in return for all of the stock in addition to the corporation’s assumption of her proprietorship’s liabilities. All of the receivables and the unpaid trade payables are transferred to the newly formed corporation. The balance sheet of the corporation immediately after its formation is as follows:

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

Which of the following statements about annuities are true? Check all that apply. An ordinary annuity of equal time earns less interest than an annuity due. Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as ordinary annuities. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Answer:
The true statements are:
Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time.
When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Explanation:
Annuities provide fixed payments for a lifetime or a specified period of time. With equal payments at the beginning of each period for a fixed period of time, the annuity is regarded as an annuity due. But with equal payments at the end of the period, it is an ordinary annuity. A common example of annuity due is payment for Rent at the beginning of the month or year. If the Rent is paid at the end of the month or year, it is an ordinary annuity.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years. b. We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows. c. The crossover rate, i.e., the rate at which Projects A and B have the same NPV, is greater than either project's IRR. d. The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem. e. More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.
Answer: a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years.
Explanation:
When a project has its cashflows occurring in later years, the NPV will be less because the discount rate would have a greater period to discount it in as opposed to cashflows that occur more recently which would receive less discounting from the discount rate.
As a result of Project A having more distant cashflows, the discount rate discounted its cash flows more which is why higher rates led to its NPV being zero because those higher rates got to discount it over a longer period.

You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is 10 percent and the inflation rate is 4.8 percent. What real amount must you deposit each year to achieve your goal
Answer:
Annual deposit= $23,647.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= 3,000,000
Numer of periods (n)= 40 years
Nominal rate= 10%
Inflation rate= 4.8%
To simplify calculations, we will calculate the real interest rate by deducting from the nominal interest rate the inflation rate:
Real interest rate= 0.1 - 0.048
Real interest rate= 0.052
Now, to calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (3,000,000*0.052) / [(1.052^40) - 1]
A= $23,647.9
Imagine a hypothetical economy with a population of 100 people, 80 of which over sixteen. Forty eight of these people who are working and twelve people who are willing, able and looking for work cannot find jobs. The unemployment rate in this economy is____________ % (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign). S
Suppose that 10 of those unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work. Now, the unemployment rate is __________% (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign).
Answer:
a) unemployment rate = 15
b) unemployment rate = 2.5
Explanation:
unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:
[tex]unemployment\ rate = \frac{number\ of\ unemployed}{labour\ force} \times 100\\[/tex]
Where:
a) Number of unemployed = 12
Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15\\[/tex]
b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{2}{80} \times 100 = \frac{200}{80} = 2.5[/tex]

(i) Times interest earned = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio = 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow = $24,952
Explanation:
(a) Earnings per share
Net income = $248,808
Beginning number of shares = Beginning Common stock / Par value = $354,000 / $5 = 70,800
Ending number of shares = Ending Common stock / Par value = $342,200 / $5 = = 68,440
Average Number of Shares Outstanding = (Beginning number of shares + Ending number of shares) / 2 = (68,440 + 70,800) / 2 = 69,620
Earning Per Shares = Net Income/ Average Number of Shares Outstanding = $248,808 / 69,620 = $3.57
(b) Return on common stockholders’ equity
Average Stockholders Equity = (Beginning Stockholders Equity + Ending Stockholders Equity) / 2 = ($549,172 + $712,012) / 2 = $630,592
Return on Stockholders Equity = Net Income / Average Stockholders Equity = $248,808 / $630,592 = 0.3946, or 39.46%
(c) Return on assets
Average total assets = (Ending total assets + Beginning total assets) / 2 = ($1,211,742 + 1,006,304) / 2 = $1,109,023
Return On Assets = Net Income / Average total assets = $248,808 / $1,109,023 = 0.2243, or 22.43%
(d) Current ratio
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = $445,922 / $240,130 = 1.86 times
(e) Accounts receivable turnover
Average Account Receivables = (Beginning Account Receivables + Ending Account Receivables) / 2 = ($139,004 + $121,304) / 2 = $130,154
Account Receivables Turnover Ratio = Sales / Average Account Receivables = $2,178,400 / $130,154 = 16.74 times
(f) Average collection period
Average collection period = 365 / Account Receivables turnover ratio = 365 days /16.74 = 21.8 days
(g) Inventory turnover
Average Inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2 = ($148,680 + $136,290) / 2 = $142,485
Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / average inventory = $1,207,000 / $142,485 = 8.47 times
(h) Days in inventory
Days in inventory = 365/ inventory turnover ratio = 365 days / 8.47 = 43.09 days
(i) Times interest earned
Times Interest Earned = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization / Interest expenses = Income from operations / Interest expenses = $381,400 / $25,960 = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover
Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets = 2,178,400 / $1,109,023 = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio
Debt to Asset Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets = $499,730 / $1,211,742 = 0.4124, or 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow
Free cash flow = Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditures - Cash dividends = $259,600- $160,480 - $74,168 = $24,952

For the Year Ended December 31, 2017
Sales revenue $402,900
Cost of goods sold 256,700
Gross profit 146,200
Expenses (including $ 10,200 interest and $29,600 income taxes) 89,200
Net income $57,000
Additional information:
1. Common stock outstanding January 1, 2017, was 30,000 shares, and 39,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2017.
2. The market price of Teal Mountain stock was $15 in 2017.
3. Cash dividends of $24,700 were paid, $ 6,500 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2017.
(a) Earnings per share $_____
(b) Price-earnings ratio _____ times
(c) Payout ratio _____ %
(d) Times interest earned _____ times
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. The earnings per share would be calculated as;
Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred stock dividend) / Average number of common shares outstanding
But
Weighted average number of common shares = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding at then end) / 2
= (30,000 + 39,000) / 2
= 34,500
Preferred stock dividend = 6,500
Therefore,
Earnings per share = ($57,000 - $6,500) / 34,500
= $50,500 / 34,500
= $1.46
b. Price earnings ratio
= Market price per share / Earning per share
= $15 / $1.46
= 10.27 times
c. The payout ratio
= (Total cash dividends - Preferred stock dividends) / Net income
= ($24,700 - $6,500) / $57,000
= $18,200 / $57,00)
= 31.93%
d. Times interest
= ( Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense.
= $57,000 + $10,200 + $29,600) / $10,200
= $96,800 / $10,200
= 9.49 times

Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)
Minimum transfer price = $10.81
2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)
Minimum transfer price = $34.55
N.B
Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74
The owners of Whitewater rafting are currently contemplating a manufacturing process (Old Process) that will require an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft vs. a larger (New Process) initial investment of $20,000 with more automated equipment that would reduce their variable cost of manufacture to $2 per raft. Compare the two manufacturing processes proposed here. For what volume demand should each process be chosen?
A. From 0 to 1000 choose Old Process, From 1000 to infinity choose New Process
B. From 0 to 4000 choose New Process, From 4000 to infinity choose Old Process
C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process
D. Always use the Old Process and never use the New Process
E Always use the New Process and never use the Old Process
Answer:
C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process
Explanation:
Let the number of raft be denoted by Y
We are told that old process requires an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft
Thus, old process cost is;
C_old = 4000 + 6Y
We are told that the new process has an investment of $20,000 and that the variable cost is $2 per raft..
Thus, new process cost is;
C_new = 20000 + 2Y
To find the volume demand by which each process will be chosen, we will equate both old and new costs to get;
4000 + 6Y = 20000 + 2Y
Rearranging, we have;
6Y - 2Y = 20000 - 4000
4Y = 16000
Y = 16000/4
Y = 4000
Thus, old process should be applied from 0 to 4000 and new process should be applied from 4000 to infinity.
Thus, option C is correct.
Apple Inc. just paid a dividend of $3 per share. You expect that Apple's dividend will increase at the rate of 10% per year for the next 10 years. After that, you expect that Apple Inc. will increase its dividend at the rate of 3% per year forever. The required rate of return for Apple is 20%. What is the price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid?
Answer:
The price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid is $26.79.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values for year 1 to 10 dividends.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Previous year dividend in year 1 = Dividend just paid = $3
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $19.17617169980840
Year 10 dividend = $7.781227380
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $7.781227380 * (100% + 3%) = $8.0146642014
Price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $8.0146642014 / (20% - 3%) = $47.1450835376471
PV of price at year 10 = Price at year 10 / (100% + Required return)^Number of years = $47.1450835376471 / (100% + 20%)^10 = $7.61419419713817
Price of Apple = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 + PV of price at year 10 = $19.17617169980840 + $7.61419419713817 = $26.79
Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
25,317 unit
Explanation:
Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)
Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)
Current price of bond = $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = $48,500,000 / $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430
Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit
8. Zelda owns a 50% general interest in YZ Partnership. At the beginning of the current year, the adjusted basis in her partnership interest was $95,000. In the current year, YZ generated a $110,000 business loss, earned $15,000 dividend and interest income on its investments and recognized a $7,000 capital gain. YZ also made a $5,000 distribution to Zelda. Compute Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Answer:
$52,500
Explanation:
Computation for Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-(50%*$110,000)+(50%*$15,000)+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-$55,000+$7,500+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis= $52,500
Based on the information given we assumed 50% because Zelda is a 50% partner.
Therefore Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year will be $52,500
When Valley Co. acquired 80% of the common stock of Coleman Corp., Coleman owned land with a book value of $75,000 and a fair value of $125,000. What is the amount of excess land allocation attributed to the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
The amount of excess land allocation attributed to the non controlling interest at the acquisition date is computed below;
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= (Book value of land - Fair value of land) × 20%
Given that;
Book value of land = $125,000
Fair value of land = $75,000
Then,
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= ($125,000 - $75,000) × 20%
= $50,000 × 20%
= $10,000
g Sunk costs are: Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices extra costs associated with one more unit of something. financial costs any costs associated with making the decision to do something instead of doing the next best alternative. costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed
Answer:
costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
Explanation:
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.
Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
Hence, sunk costs are costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?
Answer:
The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)
Where
FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?
M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740
r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11
g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 40 years
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))
FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951
FV = $1,904,087.20
Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Paradise Corporation budgets on an annual basis for its fiscal year. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned for next year.Beginning Inventory Ending InventoryRaw material* 41,000 51,000Finished goods 81,000 51,000* Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product.If Paradise Corporation plans to sell 485,000 units during next year, the number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:
Answer:
Production= 455,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Inventory= 81,000
Ending Inventory= 51,000
Sales= 485,000
To calculate the production required for the period, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 485,000 + 51,000 - 81,000
Production= 455,000 units
A publishing house is using 400 printers and 200 printing presses to produce books. The printers' wage rate is $20 and the price of a printing press is $100. The last printer added 20 books to total output, while the last press added 50 books to total output. In order to maximize the number of books published with a budget of $28,000, the publishing house
Answer:
The publishing house is not using cost minimizing combination of printers and printing press.
Explanation:
The publishing house go towards more of printers and less of printing press because the cost of printing price is almost three times higher than the cots of printers. Also the output of printing press is lower and the output of printers is almost double. The publishing house should use such a combination of both the available resources which maximizes its revenue.
The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?
Answer:
Certainly, they cannot prevail. The contract terms stated clearly that "time is of the essence of this contract." The Bassos and Miceli and Slonim Development Corp did not actually respect this contract term.
The contract was expected to have closed at 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, and not after. By the time that Dierberg left the venue, the contract should have been finalized. Alternatively, if there were unseen delays, Dierberg should have been informed at least 30 minutes before 10:00 am.
Explanation:
The argument by Miceli and Slonim does not hold water. The contract did require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, and not some time on May 16. In my considered opinion, suing Dierberg is a waste of court time and process.
