Answer:
FV= $162,113.25
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $35,775
Interest rate= 0.0475/4= 0.011875
Number of periods= 32*4= 128
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 35,775*(1.011875^128)
FV= $162,113.25

Answer:
The answer is "making assumptions"
Explanation:
The making assumption is determined if it can't be provided to claim which is not confirmed unless the argument is one, which you or the writer could show if they tried, users must decide. It requires as a considering as thinks about both the subject so on that basis evaluating the statement.
It is the one way the mind saves power becomes to find patterns in how the environment functions, that draw from our previous history. It adopts such trends, or beliefs, to the current world when we experience new circumstances. Its approach saves us the power to evaluate the condition entirely fresh.Farris Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 78 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 8,800 Units sold 8,700 Units in ending inventory 100 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 18 Direct labor $ 10 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $255,200 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 87,000 What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing
Answer:
$61
Explanation:
The computation of unit product cost for the month under absorption costing is shown below:-
Unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable Manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing cost
= $18 + $10 + $4 + ($255,200 ÷ 8,800)
= $61
Therefore for computing the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing we simply applied the above formula.
Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 22,000 units and wants a target profit of $16 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 18 Variable administrative cost per unit 13 Total fixed overhead 20,500 Total fixed administrative 36,700 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used
Answer:
variable markup % = 60%
Explanation:
total units sold 22,000
total costs associated with selling the 22,000 units:
variable production costs $18 x 22,000 = $396,000
variable S&A costs $13 x 22,000 = $286,000
fixed overhead = $20,500
fixed S&A = $36,700
total costs = $739,200
total cost per unit = $33.60
selling price = $33.60 + $16 = $49.60
markup percentage = [(sales price - unit cost) / unit cost] x 100
the total markup % = [49.60 - 33.60) / 33.60] x 100 = 47.62%
but since we are going to calculate the markup percentage solely based on variable costs, then:
variable cost per unit = $31
selling price = $49.60
the variable markup % = [49.60 - 31) / 31] x 100 = 60%
Mr. C made the following gifts: $12,000 to a university to pay tuition costs for his niece. An undeveloped tract of land to his sister that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $4,000 and a fair market value of $25,000. Various shares of stock to his wife that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $15,000 and a fair market value of $40,000. Mr. C did not consent to gift-splitting. What is the total amount of taxable gifts
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).
The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000
Lambda Computer Products competed for and won a contract to produce two prototype units of a new type of computer that is based on laser optics rather than on electronic binary bits. The first unit produced by Lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies. The second unit took 4,250 hours and used $237,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies. Labor is $20 per hour. Use Exhibit 6.5. a. Lambda was asked to present a bid for 10 additional units as soon as the second unit was completed. Production would start immediately. What would this bid be
Answer:
$2,731,672.50
Explanation:
first unit produced by lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies
the second unit took 4,250 hours and used $238,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies
learning rate = time needed to produce second unit / time needed to produce first unit = 4,250 hours / 5,000 hours = 85%
materials and equipment usage rate = $237,500 / $250,000 = 95%
using the attached table of cumulative values, we can determine the cumulative improvement factors needed to solve this question:
Lambda's accumulated cost for producing 10 more computers
work hours = 4,250 x 7.116 (85% and 10 units) x $20 per hour = $604,860materials and equipment = $238,500 x 8.955 (95% and 10 units) = $2,126,812.50total = $604,860 + $2,126,812.50 = $2,731,672.50Bob has been investing $4,000 in stock at the end of every year for the past 8 years. If the account is currently worth $45,000, what was his annual return on this investment?a. 10.61%b. 10.91%c. 8.81%d. 9.55%e. 9.07%
Answer:
d. 9.55%
Explanation:
we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Bob's annual return:
future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor
future value = $45,000
annual contribution = $4,000
FV annuity factor = ?
FV annuity factor = future value / annual contribution = $45,000 / $4,000 = 11.25
FV annuity factor = [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i
11.25 = [(1 + i)⁸ - 1] / i
11.25i = (1 + i)⁸ - 1
solving this problem is really complicated, but there is a much simple way to do it:
e) 11.25 x 0.0907 = (1 + 0.0907)⁸ - 1
1.020375 ≠ 1.0028
d) 11.25 x 0.0955 = (1 + 0.0955)⁸ - 1
1.0744 = 1.0744 ⇒ this option is correct
As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Coronado Company determined that it had inventory worth $321000 at December 31, 2020. This count did not take into consideration the following facts: Walker Consignment currently has goods worth $46300 on its sales floor that belong to Coronado but are being sold on consignment by Walker. The selling price of these goods is $75000. Coronado purchased $21100 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Coronado on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Coronado should report.
Answer:
The correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300
Explanation:
The goods sent on consignment still belong to the consignor until they are sold off by the consignee. So, the consignor should add the unsold consignment goods in its inventory. Thus we will add the cost of goods sent on consignment to the value of inventory.
Value of inventory = 321000 + 46300 = $367300
The goods purchased by Coronado on 27 December with FOB destination should not be added to the cost of inventory as with FOB destination terms, the goods do not belong to the buyer until they are delivered to their destination by the seller.
Thus, the correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300
The expected return on the market portfolio is 12%, and the relevant risk-free rate is 4.2%. What is the equity premium?
Answer:
7.8%
Explanation:
The expected return on the market portfolio is 12 percent
The risk free rate is 4.2 percent
Therefore the equity premium can be calculated as follow
= expected return - risk free rate
= 12% - 4.2%
= 7.8%
Hence the equity premium is 7.8%
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $425,000 to $445,500 and would decrease the current variable costs of $60 by $15 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $1,140,000 and current break-even units are 11,400. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised break-even point in dollars would be:
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $810,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $445,500
Unitary variable cost= $45
Selling price= $100
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 445,500 / [(100 - 45) / 100]
Break-even point (dollars)= $810,000
Sampson Industries has an annual plant capacity of 70,000 units; current production is 59,000 units per year. At the current production volume, the variable cost per unit is $26.00 and the fixed cost per unit is $4.80. The normal selling price of Sampson's product is $41.00 per unit. Sampson has been asked by Caldwell Company to fill a special order for 7,000 units of the product at a special sales price of $20.00 per unit. Caldwell is located in a foreign country where Sampson does not currently operate. Caldwell will market the units in its country under its own brand name, so the special order is not expected to have any effect on Sampson's regular sales. Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. How would accepting the special order impact Sampson's operating income? Should Sampson accept the special order? Complete the following incremental analysis to determine the impact on Sampson's operating income if it accepts this special order. (Enter a "0" for any zero balances. Use parentheses or a minus sign to indicate a decrease in contribution margin and/or operating income from the special order.) Incremental Analysis of Special Sales Order Decision Total Order (7,000 units) Revenue from special order $140,000 Less expenses associated with the order: Less: Variable manufacturing cost 182,000 Contribution margin $(42,000) Less: Additional fixed expenses associated with the order – Increase (decrease) in operating income from the special order
Answer:
Sampson Industries
1. How would accepting the special order impact Sampson's operating income?
The acceptance of the special order will decrease Sampson's operating income by $42,000.
2. Should Sampson accept the special order?
No. Sampson should not accept the special order. It does not make any contribution in reducing the fixed costs. Instead, it decreases the net income. Special orders should be accepted when they add to the contribution in defraying the fixed costs, even if they do not add to the net income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual plant capacity = 70,000 units
Current production = 59,000
Variable cost per unit = $26.00
Fixed cost per unit = $4.80
Normal Selling price per unit = $41
Special order = 70,000
Price of special order = $20
Incremental Analysis of Special Sales Order Decision
Total Order (7,000 units)
Revenue from special order $140,000
Less expenses associated with the order:
Less: Variable manufacturing cost 182,000
Contribution margin $(42,000)
Less: Additional fixed expenses associated with the order –
Increase (decrease) in operating income from the special order ($42,000)

b) $4,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
FIFO Weighted-average Difference
January 1, 20x1 $71,000 $77,000 $6,000
December 31, 20x1 $79,000 $83,000 $4,000
Orca's income tax rate is 30%.
Note that the difference in the cost of the beginning inventory does not have any effect in the current period's financials. It was an estimate that was done previously and Orca does not need to restate its financials for the previous year because of the change. The accounting change only affects the current period.
A car dealer carries out the following calculations. List price $ 5,368.00 Options $ 1,625.00 Destination charges $ 200.00 Subtotal $ 7,193.00 Tax $ 431.58 Less trade-in $ 2,932.00 Amount to be financed $ 4,692.58 15% interest for 48 months $ 2,815.55 Total $ 7,508.13 MONTHLY PAYMENT $ 156.42 What is the annual percentage rate
Answer and Explanation:
Given interest rate =10%
Repayment months= 48 months,
Interest rate =10% for 48 monthsv
To calculate annual percentage rate,
The annual percentage rate = 2 * repayment months* interest rate divided by repayment months + 1
Annual percentage rate= 2*48*10%/48+1
=2*48*0.10/49
= 96*0.10/49
= 9.6/49= 0.1959= 19.59%
Therefore annual percentage rate = 19.59%

Answer:
1.
Present value = $65500.60053 rounded off to $65500.60
2.
Present value = $76009.84174 rounded off to $76009.84
3.
Present value = $76654.22671 rounded off to $76654.23
4.
PV of perpetuity = $76666.66667 rounded off to $76666.67
Explanation:
The payments from the investment can be classified as being an ordinary annuity as the payments made by the investment offer are of constant amount and occur at the end of the period, occur after equal intervals of time and are for a defined and finite time period except for the payments made in case of requirement 4. The formula to calculate the present value of annuity that will be used in requirement 1, 2 and 3 is attached.
1.
Present value = 9200 * [(1 - (1 + 0.12)^-17) / 0.12]
Present value = $65500.60053 rounded off to $65500.60
2.
Present value = 9200 * [(1 - (1 + 0.12)^-42) / 0.12]
Present value = $76009.84174 rounded off to $76009.84
3.
Present value = 9200 * [(1 - (1 + 0.12)^-77) / 0.12]
Present value = $76654.22671 rounded off to $76654.23
4.
If the payments occur for an infinite period of time, they can be classified as a perpetuity.
The formula to calculate the present value of perpetuity is as follows,
PV of perpetuity = Cash Flow / r
Where,
r is the required rate of return or discount rate
PV of perpetuity = 9200 / 0.12
PV of perpetuity = $76666.66667 rounded off to $76666.67
If there was a 24% chance of having a contract signed to purchase a home in any one month and there were 55 homes on the market, what would be the probability that exactly 15 of them would have a contract signed during this month?
a. 10.3%
b. 24.0%
c. 66.7%
d. 23.0%
Answer:
a. 10.3%
Explanation:
P∝F of Binomial distribution is given as Pr.(x=x) = nCxP^x(1-p)^(n-x)
P = 0.24, n= 55, x =15 Note: C = Combination
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)(55-15)
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)^40
Pr.(x = 15) = 0.1026
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.26%
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.3%

The firm has just declared a dividend of $1.09 per share for the current fiscal year. The firm has earnings per share of $2.11, and 225,000 shares outstanding with a market price of $31.17 per share prior to the ex-dividend day. Ignore taxes. As a result of this dividend, the: A) the current dividend yield is 51.66% B) retained earnings will increase by $245,250. C) the current dividend payout ratio is 3.497% D) earnings per share will increase to $3.20. E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Explanation:
Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.
This means that this stock will reduce to:
= 31.17 - 1.09
= $30.08
Price to Earnings ratio = Stock price/ Earnings per share
= 30.08/2.11
= $14.26

CDB stock is currently priced at $85. The company will pay a dividend of $5.69 next year and investors require a return of 11.6 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock?
Answer:
4.91%
Explanation:
CDB stock is currently priced at $85
The company will pay a dividend of $5.69
The required return is 11.6%
There for the dividend growth rate on this stock can be calculated as follows
11.6/100= (5.69/85) + growth rate
0.116= 0.0669 + growth rate
0.116 - 0.0669 = growth rate
0.0491 × 100 = growth rate
Growth rate = 4.91%

Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume
Answer:
$1,600,000
Explanation:
Sales
$2,200,000
Contribution margin ratio
30%
$660,000
Sales $2,200,000
Contribution margin $660,000
Operating profit $180,000
Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit
= $660,000 - $180,000
= $480,000
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $480,000 / 30%
= $1,600,000
Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000
Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:
In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed
But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000
So, here the amount would be
= $6,000 × 35%
= $1,860
Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit
Doug and Sue Click file a joint tax return and decide to itemize their deductions. The Clicks' income for the year consists of $89,000 in salary, $1,500 interest income, and $700 long-term capital loss. The Clicks' expenses for the year consist of $1,450 investment interest expense. Assuming that the Clicks' marginal tax rate is 35 percent, what is the amount of their investment interest expense deduction for the year
Answer:
$1,450
Explanation:
Interest Income = $1,500
Investment Interest expenses = $1,450
Allowed deduction limit investment interest is subject to investment income. So $1,450 is allowed as deduction
4. Give two reasons why GDP is often not seen as the best measure of living standards.
Answer:
Different factors account to it.
Explanation:
Because many factors that contribute to people's happiness are not bought and sold, GDP is a limited tool for measuring standard of living. To understand it's limitations better, let's take a look at several factors that are not accounted for in GDP.
GDP does not account for leisure time. The US GDP per capita is larger than the GDP per capita of Germany, but does this prove that the standard of living in the United States is higher? Not necessarily since it is also true that the average US worker works several hundred hours more per year more than the average German worker. The calculation of GDP does not take German workers extra weeks of vacation into account.
GDP includes what is spent on environmental protection, healthcare, and education, but it does not include actual levels of environmental cleanliness, health, and learning. GDP includes the cost of buying pollution-control equipment, but it does not address whether the air and water are actually cleaner or dirtier. GDP includes spending on medical care, but it does not address whether life expectancy or infant mortality have risen or fallen. Similarly, GDP counts spending on education, but it does not address directly how much of the population can read, write, or do basic mathematics.
Given a 4 percent interest rate, compute the year 6 future value of deposits made in years 1, 2, 3, and 4 of $1,600, $1,800, $1,800, and $2,100. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$8,348.51
Explanation:
Computation of the year 6 future value of deposits
6 years Future value = $1,600 × (1 + 0.04)^5+ $1,800 × (1 + 0.04)^4+ $1,800 × (1 + 0.04)^3+ $2,100 × (1 + 0.04)^2
6 years Future value= $1,946.64 + $2,105.75 + $2,024.76 + $2,271.36
6 years Future value= $8,348.51
Therefore the year 6 future value of deposits will be $8,348.51
Under the allowance method for uncollectible accounts, the journal entry to record the estimate of uncollectible accounts would include a credit to
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the estimation of the uncollectible accounts is shown below:
Bad debt expense XXXX
To Allowance of doubtful debts XXXX
(Being the estimation of the uncollectible account is recorded)
Here the bad debt expense is debited as it increases the expenses account and credited the allowance as it decreased the assets
Hence, the same is to be considered
