Answer:
The answer is $20,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Jackson Manufacturing Beginning inventory = 30,000
Inventory purchases recorded = $90,000
Cost of goods sold = $100,000
Then
We find the ending inventory which is given below:
Now
The inventory (ending) is = beginning inventory + purchases - cost of goods sold
= $30,000 + $90,000 - $100,000
=$20,000
Hence, the ending inventory must equal the amount of $20,000

Your neighbors have offered to pay you to look after their dog while they are on vacation. It will take you one hour per day to feed, walk, and care for the dog, which you can do either before or after you go to work. Your regular job pays $10 per hour, and you can work up to eight hours per day. The smallest amount of money you would accept to look after your neighbor’s dog each day is equal to:
Answer:
C the value you place on one hour of leisure
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question:
OA $15, because overtime wages are generally 1.5 times your regular wage when you work more than eight hours a day OB. $10, because that is your opportunity cost of one hour of work OC the value you place on one hour of leisure OD. zero, because your regular job is not available for more than eight hours per day
Caring for the dog won't interfere with my job as I can care for the dog either before or after work.
What I would be sacrificing to care for the dog would be the time I would have spent resting or doing leisure activities. So the least amount I should charge is the value i place on one hour of leisure.
I hope my answer helps you

What is the days' sales in receivables for 2017?
a. 62.62 days
b. 31.81 days
c. 31.37 days
d. 45.01 day's
e. 33.85 days
Answer:
35.85 days
Explanation:
I suppose the question reads "What is the days' sales in receivables for 2010?"
To find the days' sales in receivables for 2010, use the following:
Days Sales in Receivales for 2010 = (Accounts Receivable in 2010 / Annual Sales) * 365
Where accounts receivable in 2010 from the information given is 940.
Annual sales = $9,570
Therefore,
Days Sales in Receivales for 2010 = [tex] (\frac{940}{9570}) * 365 [/tex]
= 35.85 days
The days' sales in receivables for 2010 is 35.85 days
Reiss has invested $5,000 at the end of every year for the past 22 years and earns 8 percent annually. If he continues doing this, how much will his investment account be worth 12 years from now
Answer:
Total amount will be = $856584.02
Explanation:
Annual invested amount by Reiss = $5000
Interest rate earned on the invested amount = 8 percent annually or 0.08.
Total number of years the amount invested, 22 + 12 = 34 years
Now we have to find the total amount if the total investment years are 34 years. Below is the calculation.
[tex]\text{Total amount} =Annuity [ \frac{(1+r)^{n} - 1}{r}] \\= 5000 [ \frac{(1 + 0.08 )^{34} - 1}{0.08}] \\= 856584.02 \ dollars[/tex]
oe Smith, age 75, from Vienna, IL has the winning Powerball lottery numbers which will pay out $13 million at the beginning of each of the next 30 years (reported prize of $390 million). Before claiming his prize, Trusty Insurance Company offers Joe $200 million today in exchange for his winning lottery ticket and prize payout. What rate of return would Trusty Insurance earn if Joe accepts their offer?
Answer:
The IRR is 5%. Rate of return would be 12.5% assuming a discount rate of 4%
Explanation:
The answer depends entirely on the discount rate. The question covers a 30 period timeframe and in each period, the pay off is $13 million. This is a simple time value of money concept in which to calculate the present value, you will simply calculate the present value of each of the cash flows. The formula is 13Mn/[(1+r)^n] where n is the year from 1 to 30, r is the discount rate.
The question requires us to calculate the return that is the variable 'r'. For this you need to have the present value today so that you can then use the equation to solve for 'r'. However, the only information we have is the time period and the cash flow. We are given $200mn as the initial outlay. So, we can at least use this to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) which is simply the rate of return (or the value of 'r') at which the present value of each of the 13 Mn to be received over the next 30 years is equal to the initial outlay (i.e 200mn). In short, IRR is the rate of return at which the net present value (NPV) is equal to zero. In our example, and using the formula for each of the cash flow from years 1 to 30, the IRR is computated at 5%. So if the discount rate that the company uses is less than 5%, the company would be better of with Joe accepting the offer because any discount rate below 5% would result in the present value of the cash flows to be in excess of $200Mn.
Lets take an example and assume that the discount rate is 4%, using the formula from year 1 to 30 and summing the values would give us a present value of $225 Mn. So the rate lf return in this case would be (225-200)/200 x 100 = 12.5%.
Robin Company wants to earn a 6% return on sales after taxes. The company’s effective income tax rate is 40%, and its contribution margin is 30%. If Robin has fixed costs of $240,000, the amount of sales required to earn the desired return is
Answer:
Answer is 1,200,000
Explanation:
return on sales after taxes = 6%
effective income tax rate = 40%, contribution margin = 30%.
Robin has fixed costs = $240,000,
We are to find the amount of sales required to earn the desired return using the information above.
Profit = Contribution - Fixed Cost
Assuming sales = K
6/(100-40)K = (30/100)K -240,000
0.1K =0.3K -240,000
0.2K =240,000
K = 240,000/0.2
so K =1,200,000.
Return to questionItem 12Item 12 Part 2 of 2 0.62 points Required information Use the following information for the Exercises below. [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Daley Company prepared the following aging of receivables analysis at December 31. Days Past Due Total 0 1 to 30 31 to 60 61 to 90 Over 90 Accounts receivable $ 585,000 $ 399,000 $ 93,000 $ 39,000 $ 21,000 $ 33,000 Percent uncollectible 1 % 2 % 5 % 7 % 10 % Exercise 9-9 Percent of receivables method LO P3 a. Estimate the balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts assuming the company uses 6% of total accounts receivable to estimate uncollectibles, instead of the aging of receivables method. b. Prepare the adjusting entry to record Bad Debts Expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $12,300 credit. c. Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $1,300 debit.
Answer:
total accounts receivable = $585,000 + $399,000 + $93,000 + $39,000 + $21,000 + $33,000 = $1,170,000
a. Estimate the balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts assuming the company uses 6% of total accounts receivable to estimate uncollectibles, instead of the aging of receivables method.
bad debt = $1,170,000 x 6% = $70,200
b. Prepare the adjusting entry to record Bad Debts Expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $12,300 credit.
= $70,200 - $12,300 = $57,900
Dr Bad debt expense 57,900
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 57,900
c. Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense using the estimate from part a. Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $1,300 debit.
= $70,200 + $1,300 = $71,500
Dr Bad debt expense (= $70,200 + $1,300) 71,500
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 71,500
Since the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance, any previous debit balance must be cancelled by crediting the amount.
Why are adjustments made to the accounting records at the end of the period? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)
Answer: a. To ensure assets and liabilities are reported at appropriate amounts.
b. To ensure the related revenues and expenses are reported in the proper period.
Explanation:
Adjustments must be made at the end of the period to make sure that the figures in the books are the proper and true reflection of the transactions that took place. That way records are neither overstated or understated thereby giving the users of the Accounting records a proper and accurate opportunity to assess the company's financial standing.
Records must also be adjusted to abide by the Accrual basis in accounting which posits that revenues and expenses should be recorded only in the periods when they occured regardless of if money has been received or paid for them. This way it is easier to match Expenses as well as Revenue to their respective periods.
Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right
The complete part of the question.
The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations
Answer:
Kate, Manuel and Poornima
Explanation:
Given that, the price of coffee fell but the quantity sold remained the same.
1. Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic.
If an elastic demand shifts the demand curve will move to the left. This would cause both prices as well as quantity to decline. So HUBERT's statement is not correct.
2. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic.
This can be true, because of the inelastic supply curve. If the supply curve is an inelastic vertical line then a fall in demand will not affect quantity while the price will fall. So, KATE's statement can be right.
3. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time.
If there is a decrease in the demand curve, it will shift to the left. Now, if there is an increase in the supply by the same amount the price will fall but quantity will remain the same. So, MANUEL's statement is right.
4. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic.
Here, the rightward shift in the supply curve will cause the price to fall but quantity will remain the same. So, POORNIMA's statement is right.
5. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic.
if the demand curve is unitary elastic, an increase in supply will cause the price to fall and quantity to increase. So, SHEN's statement is not correct.

Harry has a Personal Auto Policy (PAP) with liability limits of 100/$300/$50 and medical payments limits of $5,000 insuring his SUV. Harry also has other than collision and collision coverages with deductibles of $250 and $500, respectively. The local taxicab drivers are on strike and Harry decides to capitalize on the situation by transporting persons in his SUV for a fee. While transporting a businessman, Harry loses control of his SUV and hits a parked car. The damages are as follows:
Harry's medical costs - $2,000The businessman's medical costs - $1,000Damage to the parked car - $14,000Damage to Harry's car - $12,000How much, if any, will Harry's PAP insurer pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage?A. $0B. $14,000C. $17,000D. $29,000
Answer:
A) $0
Explanation:
The personal automobile policy (PAP) is an automobile insurance contract which most people purchase in order to protect their automobile from costs that may arise due to auto accidents.
Under the Part A—Liability Coverage, there are exclusions whereby the insurer won't pay for any damage, and one of the exclusions states that "for that “insured’s” liability arising out of the ownership or operation of a vehicle while it is being used as a public or livery conveyance, no liability coverage would be provided."
In this case, since Harry used his SUV to transport people for a fee, Harry's PAP insurer won't pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage because he used his SUV for livery conveyance.
Some quotes were stated from "Types of Automobile Policies and the Personal Automobile Policy"

You have just bought a 10-year security that pays $500 every six months. Another equally risky security also has a maturity of 10 years, and pays 10%, compounded monthly (that is, the nominal rate is 10%). What price should you have paid for the security that you just purchased
Answer:
PV= $6,178.61
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of years= 10
Cash flow= 500 semiannually
Discount rate= 10% compounded monthly
First, we need to calculate the semiannual interest rate:
i= 0.10/12= 0.00833
i= (1.00833^6) - 1= 0.051
Now, we need to calculate the final value of security:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= cash flow
FV= {500*[(1.051^20) - 1] / 0.051
FV= $16,708.79
Finally, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 16,708.79/1.051^20
PV= $6,178.61
Dave Ryan is the CEO of Ryan's Arcade. At the end of its accounting period, December 31, Ryan's Arcade has assets of $643,800 and liabilities of $244,230. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts: a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31 of the current year. $ b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31 at the end of the next year, assuming that assets increased by $83,730 and liabilities increased by $18,540 during the year.
Answer and Explanation:
As we know that
Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity
a. Stockholder equity s of December 31 of the current year is
$643,800 = $244,230 + total stockholder equity
So, the total stockholder equity is
= $643,800 - $244,230
= $399,570
b. Now in the case of increased, the total stockholder equity at the end of the year is
($643,800 + $83,730) = ($244,230 + $18,540) + total stockholder equity
$727,530 = $262,770 + total stockholder equity
So, the total stockholder equity is
= $727,530 - $262,770
= $464,760

A package delivery service uses vans and employees to deliver the maximum number of packages given a fixed budget. The last van added 600 packages to total output, while the last employee added 500 packages. If vans cost exist400 per week and employees earn exist300 per firm:________.
a. could deliver more packages with the same budget by using more employees and fewer Vans
b. could deliver more packages the same budget by using more vans and fewer with employees
c. use more vans and fewer employees because the last dollars spent on vans added more to total output than the last dollar spent on employees
d. is delivering the maximum number of packages given the fixed budget
e. both b and c
Answer: e. both b and c
Explanation:
Van delivered 600 per week and cost $400.
The cost per package for the Van is;
= 600/400
= $1.5 per package
Employees delivered 500 and cost $300 which means the cost per package is;
= 500/300
= $1.67 per package.
The results show that it costs more to deliver with Employees ($1.67) than with the Vans ($1.5). Using more Vans will therefore allow for more packages to be delivered using a fixed budget as the last dollar spent on Vans gave more output than the last dollar spent on Employees.
In Ricci v. DeStefano, Ricci, a white firefighter, took and passed the City of New Haven firefighter's test, required of all applicants for promotion in the city's fire department. The test was thrown out when it was discovered that minorities scored poorly and the city feared a disparate impact-based lawsuit. How did the court rule?
A) An employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
B) Even though the test was prepared by a professional testing organization, the city has the right to reject the test results if minorities do not score adequately
C) Deliberately oversampling minorities to seek to create a fair test is irrelevant if the test results show that minorities still scored poorly
D) Ricci, as a member of the white majority, had no grounds to sue when the city was seeking the legitimate aim of nondiscrimination
Answer:
The correct answer is A. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court ruled that an employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
Explanation:
Ricci v. DeStefano is a Supreme Court ruling of 2009, after a lawsuit by nineteen firefighters who claimed to have been discriminated against in terms of career development. They denounced that they had been discriminated after having passed the admission tests and still had not been promoted, since no African-American candidate had passed the tests. They also denounced that they had not been promoted because the Fire Department did not want to promote a group of new recruits without including within it any member of racial minorities.
Finally, the Supreme Court established that said procedure violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, since in the case equal access to employment was not guaranteed (in this case, favoring minorities over white firefighters), for set different demands for purely racial reasons.
Nielson Motors is considering an opportunity that requires an investment of $1,000,000 today and will provide $250,000 one year from now, $450,000 two years from now, and $650,000 three years from now. If the appropriate interest rate is 15%, then Nielson Motors should
Answer:
The NPV is - $14958.49 . The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative . Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.
Explanation:
To determine whether the project should be accepted or not, we need to calculate the NPV or Net Present Value of the project. If the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
The formula to calculate the NPV is attached.
NPV = - 1000000 + 250000 / (1 + 0.15) + 450000 / (1 + 0.15)² +
650000 / (1 + 0.15)³
NPV = - $14958.49429
The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative. Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.

Sexton Corp. has current liabilities of $510,000, a quick ratio of .93, inventory turnover of 6.9, and a current ratio of 1.5. What is the cost of goods sold for the company?
Answer:
The cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.
Explanation:
This can be calculated from the available information using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of Current Assets
To do this, we use the current ratio formula as follows:
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Current Assets, we have:
1.5 = Current Assets / $510,000
Current Assets = $510,000 * 1.5 = $765,000
Step 2: Calculation of Inventory
To do this, we use the Quick Ratio formula as follows:
Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 1 into the equation above and solve for Inventory, we have:
0.93 = ($765,000 - Inventory) / $510,000
0.93 * $510,000 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 + Inventory = $765,000
Inventory = $765,000 - 474,300 = $290,700
Note that this inventory of $290,700 is the ending inventory.
Step 3: Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold
To do this, we use the Inventory Turnover formula as follows:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory
Note that average Average Inventory is the addition of the beginning and closing inventory divided by 2. But since the beginning inventory is not available, the practice is to use the ending inventory in place of the average inventory. This is what we do here below.
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 2 into the equation above and solve for Cost of goods sold, we have:
6.9 = Cost of goods sold / $290,700
Cost of goods sold = 6.9 * $290,7000 = $2,005,830
Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.

The current replacement cost is $17 per unit. The selling price charged by Robyn's Retail for each finished product is $27. In order to record the adjusting entry needed under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule, the Merchandise Inventory will be ________. Group of answer choices debited by $8,500 credited by $8,500 debited by $1,000 credited by $1,000
Answer:
Credit inventory 1000 and debit COGS 1000
Explanation:
19*500=9500 <price it is recorded at currently
The rule requires lower cost - market vs. price. Since market cost is lower, you have to find out how much the ending inventory balance should be
17*500=8500
9500-8500=1000
The inventory booked should be lowered, thus requiring credit entry of 1000. Since it is a merchandise loss, it is counted towards cost of goods sold expense, thus debit
The following inventory balances have been provided for the most recent year: The cost of goods manufactured was $714,000. What was the cost of goods sold? Select one: a. $738,000 b. $693,000 c. $714,000 d. $733,000
Answer:
a. $738,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of goods sold
Beginning Finished goods inventory $57,000
Add: Cost of goods manufactured $714,000
Goods available for sale $771,000
($714,000+$57,000)
Less Ending Finished goods inventory $33,000
Cost of goods sold $738,000
($771,000-$33,000)
Therefore the cost of goods sold will be $738,000
Quality Timber Pty Ltd is a well-established logging company. With below-average performance, their packaging department is consistently behind schedule. Employees often take long lunch breaks and frequently stop to chat with co-workers. However, the employees get along very well and frequently spend time together, even outside work. In this scenario, the performance norms are _____ and cohesiveness is _____, so productivity is ____.
Answer:
Quality Timber Pty Ltd
In this scenario, the performance norms are _below-average____ and cohesiveness is _ high____, so productivity is _low___.
Explanation:
It has been established that group norms influence individual behavior and group performance. Performance Norms refer to how a person should work in a given group and what his or her output should be.
Cohesion, according to wikipedia.com, "can be more specifically defined as the tendency for a group to be in unity while working towards a goal or to satisfy the emotional needs of its members." Employees of the packaging department tend to be enjoying so much group cohesiveness. But, they need to break some habits to focus on achieving corporate goals by increasing their productivity.
According to Paul Krugman of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, "Productivity is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labour and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output." A rough assessment of the packaging department employees' performance shows low productivity, as they are "consistently behind schedule and take long lunch breaks, and frequently chat with co-workers," instead of concentrating on their jobs.
Gizmos, Inc. produces gizmos at an average total cost of $15 and an average variable cost of $12. The only fixed input used in the production of gizmos costs $240. How many gizmos does Gizmos, Inc. produce?
Answer:
80
Explanation:
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
Average total cost = average fixed cost + average variable cost.
Average total cost = Total cost / quantity
Average fixed cost = fixed cost / quantity
Average variable cost = variable cost/ quantity
$15 = average fixed cost + $12
Average fixed cost = $3
Total fixed cost = $240
$3 = $240 / q
Q = 80

Clay Earth Company sells ceramic pottery at a wholesale price of $ 5.00 per unit. The variable cost of manufacture is $ 1.25 per unit. The fixed costs are $ 6 comma 700 per month. It sold 4 comma 200 units during this month. Calculate Clay Earth's operating income (loss) for this month. A. $ 9 comma 050 B. $ 14 comma 300 C. ($ 6 comma 700) D. ($ 9 comma 050)
Answer:
A. $ 9 comma 050
Explanation:
The operating income(loss) of a business is the result of the sales less operating costs. The operating cost is made up of the fixed cost and the variable cost.
If the Sales is more than the operating cost, the business makes an income otherwise, a loss.
Sales = $5 * 4200
= $21,000
Operating cost = $1.25 * 4200 + $6,700
= $11,950
Operating income(loss) = $21,000 - $11,950
= $9,050
