Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Investment X offers to pay you $4,700 per year for 9 years
Investment Y offers to pay you $6,400 per year for 5 years.
Requirement 1:
First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
Investment X:
FV= {4,700*[(1.08^9)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $58,691.52
Investment Y:
FV= {6,400*[(1.08^5)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $37,546.25
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Investment X:
PV= 58,691.52/(1.08^9)
PV= $29,360.37
Investment Y:
PV= 37,546.25/(1.08^5)
PV= $25,553.35
Investment X provides the higher present value, therefore, it should be the one to choose.
Requirement 2:
First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
Investment X:
FV= {4,700*[(1.20^9)-1]} / 0.20
FV= $97,754.84
Investment Y:
FV= {6,400*[(1.20^5)-1]} / 0.20
FV= $47,626.24
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Investment X:
PV= 97,754.84/(1.20^9)
PV= $18,945.54
Investment Y:
PV= 47,626.24/(1.20^5)
PV= $19,139.92
Investment Y provides the higher present value, therefore, it should be the one to choose.
Barans Realty Co. pays weekly salaries of $18,000 on Monday for a six-day workweek ending the preceding Saturday. Journalize the necessary adjusting entry at the end of the accounting period, assuming that the period ends on Friday. Round your answers to nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
Barans Realty Co. Journal entry
Dr Salary expenses 15,000
Cr Salary payable 15,000
Explanation:
Since Barans Realty Co. pays weekly salaries of $18,000 on Monday for a six-day workweek ending the preceding Saturday in which we have to as well assume that it ended on friday that means (18,000/6 ×5) will give us 15,000, we have to record it by Debiting salary expenses with 15,000 and Crediting salary payable with the same amount
The key thing to look at is that the period ends on FRIDAY.
If we count from Monday to Friday, that is 5 days apart.
We need to divide to find the daily salary.
18,000 / 6 = $3,000 per day
Multiply to find the total salary expense from Monday to Friday.
3,000 * 5 = $15,000
Now, we can assemble the journal entry.
We will have a salaries expense to debit for $15,000
We will also have a salaries payable to credit for $15,000
18,000 - 15,000 = $3,000 expense for the next accounting period.
Best of Luck!

Using the high-low method, the variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs are
$0.33 per unit and $28,707
$0.59 per unit and $14,354
$3.30 per unit and $2,871
$5.94 per unit and $2,871
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
April $121,800 282,100
May 82,500 163,400
June 99,900 235,900
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (121,800 - 82,500) / (282,100 - 163,400)
Variable cost per unit= $0.33
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 121,800 - (0.33*282,100)
Fixed costs= $28,707
QS 9-8 Percent of sales method LO P3 Warner Company’s year-end unadjusted trial balance shows accounts receivable of $105,000, allowance for doubtful accounts of $660 (credit), and sales of $340,000. Uncollectibles are estimated to be 1% of sales. Prepare the December 31 year-end adjusting entry for uncollectibles.
Answer:
Bad Debts Expense $ 2740 Debit
Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 2740 Credit
Explanation:
Warner Company
Accounts receivable $105,000,
Allowance for doubtful accounts $660 (credit),
Sales $340,000
Uncollectibles are estimated to be 1% of sales.
Uncollectibles of 1% of sales means that after adjusting entry is passed the uncollectible amount must be $3400 ( 1% of $340,000) .
We have a credit balance of $ 660
The debit balance in the Allowance for doubtful accounts must be $ 3400.
The adjustment will be = $3400- $660= $ 2740
The Adjusting Entry will be
Bad Debts Expense $ 2740 Debit
Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 2740 Credit

A well-known industrial firm has issued $1,000 bonds that carry a 4% coupon interest rate paid semiannually. The bonds mature 20 years from now, at which time the industrial firm will redeem them from $1,000 plus the terminal semiannual interest payment. From the financial pages of your newspaper you learn that the bonds may be purchased for $715 each ($710 for the bond plus a $5 sales commission). What nominal annual rate of return would you receive if you purchased the bond now and held it to maturity 20 years from now
Answer:
5.59%
Explanation:
$1,000 bonds carrying a 4% coupon rate, semiannual coupon $20, matures in 20 years
if you purchase the bonds at $715, the nominal annual rate of return = coupon payments / bond price = ($20 + $20) / $715 = $40 / $715 = 5.59%
The nominal annual rate of return is calculated by dividing the revenue generated by an investment by the cost of the investment.
Gould Corporation uses the following activity rates from its activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products: Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate Setting up batches $ 59.71 per batch Processing customer orders $ 73.05 per customer order Assembling products $ 4.40 per assembly hour Data concerning two products appear below: Product K91B Product F65O Number of batches 92 63 Number of customer orders 42 56 Number of assembly hours 496 903 How much overhead cost would be assigned to Product K91B using the activity-based costing system
Answer:
Product K91B= $10,743.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate
Setting up batches $ 59.71 per batch
Processing customer orders $ 73.05 per customer order
Assembling products $ 4.40 per assembly hour
Product K91B
Number of batches 92
Number of customer orders 42
Number of assembly hours 496
We were given the allocation rates, all we need to do is allocate based on actual allocation base:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Product K91B= 59.71*92 + 73.05*42 + 4.4*496
Product K91B= $10,743.82
Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction
Answer:
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Explanation:
Note:
The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 10 and Y = 24 units
U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]
U(10 ,24) = 98.4
U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 12 Find Y
99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
Y = 21.97
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Eight months ago, you purchased 400 shares of Winston stock at a price of $46.40 a share. The company pays quarterly difidents of $1.05 a share. Today, you sold all of your shares for $48.30 a share. What is your total percentage return on this investment
Answer:
Percentage return on investment= 8.62 %
Explanation:
Return on investment is the amount that an investor gains after investing in a particular business venture. Percentage return on investment is calculated as gain from a business venture divided by the initial investment.
Percentage return on investment= (Gain ÷ Initial investment) * 100
Gain on share price= 48.30 - 46.40 = $1.90
Gain from dividend= 2 * 1.05= $2.10
Total gain = 1.90 + 2.10 = $4
Therefore
Percentage return on investment= (4 ÷ 46.40) * 100
Percentage return on investment= 8.62 %
So the gain on initial investment of the 400 shares is 8.62%
Answer:
The total percentage return on this investment is 8.62%
Explanation:
Given the initial investment is 400 shares * 46.40 = $18,560 and the purchase of those shares were "eight month ago"
The company pays quarterly dividends of $1/05 per share. So, that in between 8 month, these are 2 Quarters
Thus Dividend amount= 400 * 1.05 * 2 Quarters= $840
Capital gains= Sales value - Purchase price
= 400 * 48.30 - 18,560
= 19,320 - 18,560
= $760
Therefore total percentage return on this investment will be derived by (Dividend + Capital) / Initial Investment * 100
= (840 + 760)/18560 * 100
= 8.62%
Consider the simple leisure model in which the individual chooses between leisure (L) and money income (M). The marginal utility of leisure (MUL) is 15 and the marginal utility of money (MUM) is 3. At the optimum, the wage rate:_______
a. $45
b. $0.20
c. $5
d. $15
Answer:
Wage rate is $5
Explanation:
The marginal utility of money=marginal utility of leisure/wage rate
When the formula is rearranged,wage rate is given thus:
wage rate=marginal utility of leisure/marginal utility of money
wage rate=15/3
wage rate =$5
In other words, the correct option is C,wage rate is $5
Option D would have been correct if the requirement was to calculate marinal utility of leisure
Imagine Fry knew in advance that he would be frozen for 1000 years and wanted to have $9,999,999,999 when he thaws out. How much would Fry need to deposit in his account paying 2% APR compounded quarterly before falling into the cryogenic freezer
Answer:
$21.66
Explanation:
We are to find the present value of $9,999,999,999.
The formula to be used is :
P = FV (1 + r/m) ^-mn
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
M = number of compounding
= $9,999,999,999 ( 1 + 0.02 / 4 ) ^-4000 = $21.66

Explanation:
a) A 10-column worksheet is a tool used by accountants to close the temporary accounts, after necessary adjustments, and then extract a balance sheet. It comprises two columns (debit and credit) for each of the following: Unadjusted Trial Balance, Adjusting Entries, Adjusted Trial Balance, Income Statement, and Balance Sheet.
b) A closing entry is a journal entry that is made at the end of an accounting period to transfer balances from a temporary account to a permanent account. The four basic steps in the closing process are: Closing the revenue accounts—transferring the credit balances in the revenue accounts to a clearing account called Income Summary. Closing the expense accounts—transferring the debit balances in the expense accounts to a clearing account called Income Summary. Extracting a balance between the revenue accounts and the expense accounts, called the net income or loss. Closing the net income or loss to the Retained Earnings.
The pre-tax cost of debt is 11%, preferred stock costs 14%, and equity costs 15%. What is the weighted average cost of capital assuming a tax rate of 40% and a target capital structure of 40% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 40% equity
Answer:
WACC is 11.4%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Calculate cost of individual source of finance(this is already given)
Cost of Equity= 15%
After-tax cost of debt:
= (1- T) × before-tax cost of debt
= 11%× (1-0.4)= 6.6%
Cost of preferred stock costs= 14%
Step 2 : calculate the proportion or weight of the individual source of finance . (This already given)
Equity = 40%
Debt= 40%
Preferred stock : 20%
Step 3; Work out weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC = ( 15%× 40%) + ( 6.6%× 40%) + (14%× 20%)= 11.4%
WACC is 11.4%

The company can choose to buy a back-up machine for Step C for an additional $20,000. The back up would also have a reliability of 0.915, just like the one that is presently used. If they decide to get this back-up machine, what will the new reliability of the system be? Assume that once a machine malfunctions, the process continues to produce product, acceptable and defective. Use THREE decimal places in you calculations.
The complete question is:
A certain company produces 10,000 tables per year in a three-step process. The three steps in the process employ machines with the reliabilities listed here:
Step A - 0.987 Step B – 0.979 Step C – 0.915
Answer:
New reliability= 0.9593 ~ 0.959
Explanation:
Reliability is used in manufacturing process to ensure that a process produces the same level of output consistently. A process is reliable if it achieves the same results everytime.
Reliability can be applied to individuals, data, processes, and products.
In this instance we are to calculate the new reliability of the backup system.
Reliability of step C is 0.915
New reliability= 1 - (1- 0.915)^2
New reliability= 0.992775
Multiply this value by the reliability in step A and B to get system reliability
System reliability= 0.992775 * 0.987 * 0.979
System reliability= 0.9593
A project analysis using the net present value method indicates that the present value of cash inflows is $120,000, and the total amount of investment required at the start of the project is $100,000. Which of the following statements best describes the results of the project analysis?
a. The project should be rejected because the actual rate of return expected from the project is less than the minimum desired rate of return.
b. The project should be accepted because the actual rate of return expected from the project is more than the minimum desired rate of return.
c. The project should be rejected because the actual rate of return expected from the project is more than the minimum desired rate of return.
d. The project should be accepted because the actual rate of return expected from the project is less than the minimum desired rate of return.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Cost of investment was $100,000
Present value of all the cash inflows = $120,000
Profit = $20,000 ($120,000 - $100,000)
Since the present value of all the cash inflows is greater than the initial cost of investment, the capital project should be accepted because the firm will be better off and shareholders' wealth will be increased.
The expected rate of return for the project is $20,000/$100,000

Explanation:
At a sales volume of 38,000 units, Choice Corporation's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $752,400. To the nearest whole cent, what should be the average sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 39,000 units
Answer:
The average sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 39,000 units would be $19.8
Explanation:
In order to calculate the average sales commission per unit we would have to calculate the following formula:
average sales commission per unit= Total sales commission/sales volume
According to given data:
Total sales commission=$752,400
sales volume=38,000 units
Therefore, average sales commission per unit=$752,400/38,000 units
average sales commission per unit=$19.8
The average sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 39,000 units would be $19.8
A portfolio consists of $13,600 in Stock M and $19,400 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.10 percent and 11.70 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio return is 10.22%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the expected return of the portfolio is as follows,
Portfolio Return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w is the weightage of each asset/stock in the portfolior is the return of each stockThe weightage of each stock can be calculated by dividing the investment in the stock by the total investment in the portfolio.
Total investment - portfolio = 13600 + 19400 = $33000
Portfolio Return = 13600/33000 * 0.0810 + 19400/33000 * 0.1170
Portfolio Return = 0.10216 or 10.216% rounded off to 10.22%
A company rents a small building with 10,000 square feet of space for $100,000 per year. The rent is allocated to the company's three departments on the basis of the value of the space occupied by each. Department 1 occupies 1,500 square feet of ground-floor space, Department 2 occupies 3,500 square feet of ground-floor space, and Department 3 occupies 5,000 square feet of second-floor space. If rent for comparable floor space in the neighborhood averages $15.00 per sq. ft. for ground-floor space and $10 per sq. ft. for second-floor space, what annual rent expense should be charged to each department
Answer:
department 1: $18,000
department 2: $42,000
department 3: $40,000
Explanation:
total annual rent expense $100,000
total rented space 10,000 sq ft
first we must calculate the rental cost based on comparable floor space:
(1,500 x $15) + (3,500 x $15) + (5,000 x $10) = $22,500 + $52,500 + $50,000 = $125,000
now we allocate costs on the following proportion: $100,000 / $125,000 = 0.8
department comparable rent proportional cost total
1 $22,500 0.8 $18,000
2 $52,500 0.8 $42,000
3 $50,000 0.8 $40,000
total $125,000 $100,000

Determine the total equivalent units for direct materials, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. Assume that all direct materials are placed in the process at the beginning of production.
Answer:
37,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the total equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Transferred to finished goods during the month of July + Ending work in process during the month of July - Inventory in process, July 1
= 37,500 units + 3,500 units - 4,000 units
= 41,000 units - 4,000 units

There are four factors contributing to successful VENTURE: Opportunity, Resource, Entrepreneur and Organizations (OREO). Which one do you think is more important than other (1
Answer:
Four Factors for Successful Venture
The most important among them is Entrepreneur.
Explanation:
An Entrepreneur is the person or entity which galvanizes the other factors. He or she captures the opportunity with the resources he can mobilize within an organizational setting that he arranges. So, success depends on him or her and not the others.
Opportunity cannot seize itself, though it is important for success. Without opportunity to deploy resources, the best entrepreneur will be engaging in an exercise in futility. One cannot capture opportunities without deploying some resources, human, financial, and knowledge. To make a success of the whole venture, there must be a kind of organization. It is organization that organizes resources to seize opportunities. But, organization cannot operate on itself. It must be led by somebody, who is called the Entrepreneur. He or she is the mover and shaker of these factors and therefore, the most important.
