Answer:
dealer A:
total interest charged = ($118.28 x 18 months) - $2,000 = $129.04
APR = [($129.04 / $2,000) / 1.5 periods] x 100% = 4.3%
dealer B:
total interest charged = ($70.31 x 36 months) - $2,000 = $531.16
APR = [($531.16 / $2,000) / 3 periods] x 100% = 8.85%
The APR charged by dealer A is much lower than the APR charged by dealer B. Even thought the monthly payments are much lower for dealer B, the total amount of interest charged is much higher.
It is important that marketers be able to identify which strategy a competitor is using so that they better understand how to position their own products and services. You will see a list of recent or potential strategic decisions made by large firms, and your job is to identify which type of strategy was used in each example.
While there are a variety of strategies across industries, most fall under four basic categories.
1. Market penetration strategies emphasize selling more existing products and services to existing customers.
2. Product development strategies involve creating new goods or services for existing markets.
3. Market development strategies focus on selling existing products or services to new customers. The targeted new customers could be a different gender, age group, or international market.
4. Finally, diversification strategies involve offering new products that are unrelated to the existing products produced by the organization.

Chance company had two operating divisions, one manufacturing farm equipment and other office supplies. Both divisions are considered separate components as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The farm equipment component had been unprofitable, and on Sept. 1, 2016, the company adopted a plan to sell the assets of the division.
The actual sale was completed on Dec. 15, 2016, at the price of $600,000. The book value of the division's assets was $1,000,000, resulting in a before-tax loss of $400,000 on the sale.

The City of Waterville applied for a grant from the state government to build a pedestrian bridge over the river inside the city’s park. On May 1, the city was notified that it had been awarded a grant of up to $200,000 for the project. The state will provide reimbursement for allowable expenditures. On May 5, the special revenue fund entered into a short-term loan with the General Fund for $200,000 so it could start bridge construction. During the year, the special revenue fund expended $165,000 for allowable bridge construction costs, for which it submitted documentation to the state. Reimbursement was received from the state on December 13, 2017.
Required:
For the special revenue fund, provide the appropriate journal entries, if any, that would be made for the following.
a. May 5, 2017, loan from General Fund.

Farr Corp. purchased a new delivery van on January 1, 2020 and chose to use the double declining balance depreciation method. The van cost $48,000 with an estimated life of five years and a $12,000 salvage value. After the year end adjustment, how much accumulated depreciation would be recorded on the van at December 31, 2021
Answer:
$30,720
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the depreciation for 2020.
Depreciation for 2020 = ($48,000 cost - 0) × 40%
= $19,200
Depreciation for 2021 = ($48,000 cost - $19,200 depreciation 2020) × 40%
= $11,520
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021
= $11,520 + $19,200
= $30,720
The value of $30,720 will be recorded as accumulated depreciation on the value of the van at December 31, 2021.
• Note, the asset's annual depreciation will be 20% of the depreciation cost since its useful life is 5. It will however be 40% since we are using the double declining balance method.
The following inventory valuation errors have been discovered for Knox Corporation:
The 2015 year-end inventory was overstated by $23,000
The 2016 year-end inventory was understated by $61,000
The 2017 year-end inventory was understated by $17,000
The reported income before taxes for Knox was:
Year: Income before Taxes:
2015 $138,000
2016 $254,000
2017 $168,000
Required:
Compute what income before taxes for 2015, 2016, and 2017 should have been after correcting for the errors.
Answer:
Income +/- inventory adjustment
2015: 138,000 - 23,000 = 115,000
2016: 254,000 + 61,000 = 315,000
2017: 168,000 + 17,000 = 185,000
Explanation:
Inventory Identity:
Beginning + Purchases = Ending + COGS
As the mistake is on the right side it compensates by the other component which is COGS
When the inventory is overstated this means COGS is understated.
We didn't record the cost of good sold thefore our gross profit is higher making the net income higher.
When the inventory is understated this means COGS is overstated.
We record more cost of goods sold thefore our gross profit is lower making the net income fewer as well.

A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900. The South Division's divisional segment margin is $42,800 and the West Division's divisional segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions
Answer:
$45,800
Explanation:
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = South division's divisional segment margin + west division's divisional segment - corporation's net operating income
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $45,800

Dom has $90,000 that he wishes to invest now in order to use the accumulation for purchasing a retirement annuity in five years. After consulting with his financial advisor, he has been offered four types of fixed-income investments, labeled as investments A, B, C, and D.
Investments A and B are available at the beginning of each of the next five years (call them years 1–5). Each dollar invested in A at the beginning of a year returns $1.20 (a profit of $0.20) two years later, in time for immediate reinvestment. Each dollar invested in B at the beginning of a year returns $1.36 three years later.
Investments C and D will each be available just once in the future. Each dollar invested in C at the beginning of year 2 returns $1.66 at the end of year 5. Each dollar invested in D at the beginning of year 5 returns $1.12 at the end of year 5.
Your uncle is obligated to make a balloon payment on an existing loan in the amount of $24,000 at the end of year 3. He wants to make that payment out of the investment account.
1) Devise an investment plan for your uncle that maximizes the value of the investment account at the end of five years. How much money will be available for the annuity in five years?
2) Show the network diagram corresponding to the solution in (1). That is, label each of the arcs in the solution and verify that the flows are consistent with the given information.
Answer:
First of all, you must invest enough money in B in order to pay your debt.
present value = future value / expected return
present value = $24,000 / $1.36 = $17,647.06
you have $90,000 - $17,647.06 = $72,352.94 to invest in A.
at the end of year 2, you will have:
future value = present value x expected return = $72,352.94 x $1.20 = $86,823.53
then you should invest that money ($86,823.53) in invested D and at the end of year 4 you will have:
future value = $86,823.53 x $1.66 = $144,127.06
finally, you should invest $144,127.06 in investment E and at the end of ear 5 you will have:
future value = $144,127.06 x $1.12 = $161,422.31

Broca Corporation has a current ratio of 2.5. Which of the following transactions will increase Broca's current ratio? Select one: a. the purchase of inventory for cash. b. the collection of an account receivable. c. the payment of an account payable. d. none of the above.
Answer:
b. the collection of an account receivable
Explanation:
The formula to compute the current ratio is shown below:
As we know that
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
If the current ratio is 2.5 that means the current assets is higher than the current ratio
As per the given options, the option b is correct and hence the same is to be considered
The transaction that will increase Broca's current ratio is d. none of the above.
The current ratio is not increased by the purchase of inventory for cash because this transaction has no effect on the current assets. The collection of an account receivable is not going to increase the current ratio for the same reason above (no effect on the current assets).
The payment of an account payable reduces the current assets and current liabilities by the same amount and will not affect the current ratio.
Thus, the transaction that will increase the current ratio is d.

Lemon Corporation generated $324,600 of income from ordinary business operations. It also sold several assets during the year. Compute Lemon’s taxable income under each of the following alternative assumptions about the tax consequences of the asset sales.
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
d.Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
Answer:
a. Lemon’s taxable income = $322,700
b. Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,200
d. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,400
Explanation:
Before the questions are answered, the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules are quoted as follows:
- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.
- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.
Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Also, we describe the following:
Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.
Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
We therefore proceed as follows:
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
From the question, we have the following:
Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600
Capital gain recognised = $5,500
Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400
Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.
As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800
Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.
Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400
Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:
Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200
d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
We have the following:
Section 1231 loss = $4,200
Section 1231 gain = $2,000
Therefore, we have:
Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200
This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400
Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 1,500 units of Product A and 1,500 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $87,630. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $ 41,400 1,000 500 1,500
Activity 2 15,720 800 400 1,200
General Factory 30,510 600 300 900
Total $ 87,630
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:_________
a. $42.90
b. $9.10
c. $21.30
d. $63.92
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 41,400/1,500= $27.6 per unit of activity
Activity 2= 15,720/1,200= $13.1 per unit of activity
General Factory= 30,510/900= $33.9 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to product B:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 27.6*500= $13,800
Activity 2= 13.1*400= $5,240
General Factory= 33.9*300= $10,170
Total allocated overhead= $29,210
Unitary allocated overhead= 29,210/1,500= $19.47
A University is offering a charitable gift program. A former student who is now 50 years old is consider the following offer: The student can invest $8,900.00 today and then will be paid a 9.00% APR return starting on his 65th birthday (i.e For a $10,000 investment, a 9% rate would mean $900 per year). The program will pay the cash flow for this investment while you are still alive. You anticipate living 21.00 more years after your 65th birthday. The former student wants a return of 6.00% on his investments, but would like to consider this opportunity.
Required:
Using the student's desired return, what is the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday?
Answer:
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
Explanation:
Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.
We therefore proceed with the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday
The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?
P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)
PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288
PV at 65 = $6,282.02
Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.
Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:
PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)
Where;
PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15
Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969
PV at 50 = $2,621.27
Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
So you want to finance a car for $4,840. Let’s say we offer you a 4.5% interest rate on a 2-year loan and 6% on a 5-year loan. Enter this info into the calculator to see your monthly and total cost by loan term.
Financing Amount
$4840
Correct
Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan
Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan
Answer:
Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan...$435.6
Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan...$1,452
Explanation:
The formula for calculating simple interest is as follows.
I = P x R x T,
where I = interest
P= Principal
R= interest rate
T= time
For the loan at 4.5 percent for 2 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 4.5/100 x 2
= $4,840 x 0.045 x 2
= $435.6
Total cost of the loan will principal plus interest
=$435.6 + $4,840
=$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost
= $5,275.6/24
=$219.81
Total loan cost..$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost ...$219.81
For the Loan at 6 percent for 5 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 6/100 x 5
= $4,840 x 0.06 x 5
=$1,452
Total cost of the loan will be principal plus interest
=$ 4,840 + $1,452
=$6,292
Monthly costs will be
=$6,292/60
=$104.87
Total loan cost... $6,292
Monthly loan costs... $104.87

definition of observant in entrepreneur characteristics
Answer:
In Entrepreneur characteristics, observant refers to the ability to quickly notice a certain pattern or unusual situation.
This skill is important because of these two following reasons:
- It helped the entrepreneur notice an existing trend. This trend could represent the things that are currently favored by the consumers in a certain market. Understanding trend will help you creating a product that can fit into that trend.
- It also help the entrepreneur notice the problems that occur internally. For example, being observant will help the entrepreneur notice the negative emotion that the employees experience when facing a certain problem. After noticing this, the entrepreneur could develop some sort of strategy to lift their spirit.
Crow earned $585.15 during the week ended March 1, 20--. Prior to payday, Crow had cumulative gross earnings of $4,733.20. Round your answers to the nearest cent. a. The amount of OASDI taxes to withhold from Crow's pay is $ . b. The amount of HI taxes to withhold from Crow's pay is
Answer:
A. $36.28
B. $8.48
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the amount of OASDI taxes to withhold from Crow's pay
OASDI taxes is 6.2%
Hence,
OASDI taxes to withhold = 585.15*0.62
OASDI taxes to withhold = $36.28
Therefore the OASDI taxes to withhold from Crow's pay is $36.28
b. Calculation for the amount of HI taxes to withhold from Crow's pay
HI taxes is 1.45%
Hence,
HI taxes to withhold =585.15*0.0145
HI taxes to withhold=$8.48
Therefore HI taxes to withhold from Crow's pay is $8.48
Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The forward contract will mature in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for the contract is $42. The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value Bob's position?
Answer:
$ - 1.96
Explanation:
After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.
DATA
Delivery price = $40
The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.
The current forward price = $42
Solution
So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96
The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96
