Federal excise duty is the government rate which is set to control the money supply in an economy. When Fed rises the interest rate decline while money supply increases.
The crisis during 2008 led the world towards declining their economic growth. The shaky stock market runs fear in the investors and they withdrew their money from the stock and other risky and invested their earning and savings in safe and secure treasury bonds. This led the government to raise the prices of treasury bonds and the returns of the bonds declined.
Geraths Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Geraths also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Geraths enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,400 and chooses Geraths to do the installation. Geraths charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The customer pays Geraths $2,000 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,100) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2020, Geraths completes installation on October 15, 2020, and the customer pays the balance due.

Rodgers Company gathered the following reconciling information in preparing its May bank reconciliation. Calculate the adjusted cash balance per books on May 31. Cash balance per books, 5/31 $4,022 Deposits in transit 248 Notes receivable and interest collected by bank 746 Bank charge for check printing 28 Outstanding checks 1,754 NSF check 164 a.$4,576 b.$994 c.$3,098 d.$2,516
Answer: a.$4,576
Explanation:
Sometimes the cash balance according to the books is not the same as the cash in the bank account and this is due to some transactions not being recorded by either the bank or the firm.
Adjusted cash balance per books = Unadjusted cash balance + Note receivable and interest collected by bank - Bank charge for check printing - NSF Check
= 4,022 + 746 - 28 - 164
= $4,576
7. You are considering the possibility of replacing an existing machine that has a book value of $500,000, a remaining depreciable life of five years, and a salvage value of $300,000. The replacement machine will cost $2 million and have a ten-year life. Assuming that you use straight-line depreciation and that neither machine will have any salvage value at the end of the next ten years, how much would you need to save each year to make the change (the tax rate is 40 percent)
Answer:
$221344.48
Explanation:
Book value of existing machine = $500,000
remaining depreciable life = 5 years
salvage value = $300,000
cost of replacement machine = $2 million
depreciable life = 10 years
Tax rate = 40 %
Difference in the cost of new machine and salvage value of existing machine
= 2,000,000 - 300,000 = $1,700,000
Calculate the depreciation tax benefit of new machine = ( 500,000 / 5 ) * 0.4 = $40,000
next calculate the present value of this tax benefit
= $40000,PVAF(1.10,5years)^5 ------- ( 1 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)5 = 3.7907)
Insert value into equation 1 (to calculate the present value of the tax benefit
= 40000*3.79078676 = $1,51,631.47 ( present value of tax benefit )
Determine the Annual depreciation tax advantage of the new machine
= (2,000,000/10)*0.40 = $80,000
Determine present value of this annuity
= $80,000,PVAF(1.10,10years)^10 ------ ( 2 )
where the Annuity of 5 years at 10% = 1/(1.10)^10 ) = 6.144567
Insert value into equation2 ( to calculate the present value of this annuity )
= 80000 * 6.144567 = $491565.36
Therefore the Net cost of the new machine will be
= $491565.36 - $151631.47 - $1,700,000 = $1,360,066
Annual savings on the new machine in 10 years
= 1,360,066 / 6.144567 = $221344.48

Answer:
$155,700
Explanation:
Absorption costing
Sales $164 × 3,260 = $534,640
Less cost of goods sold
Opening inventory
Add variable cost of goods manufactured
[3,700 × ($51 + $32 + $6 = $89)] = $329,300
Fixed manufacturing cost
$88,800
Cost of goods available for sale
$418,100
Less ending inventory 440 × $89
$39,160
Cost of goods sold
$378,940

Explanation:
In late 2020, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of common stock carrying a $1 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of $5 par value, noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2, 2021, 4,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange for cash at an average price of $10 per share. Also on January 2, all 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $20 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. (Assume net income for the first quarter 2021 was $1,750,000.)
Part B
During 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation participated in three treasury stock transactions:
On June 30, 2021, the corporation reacquires 250,000 shares for the treasury at a price of $12 per share.
On July 31, 2021, 25,000 treasury shares are reissued at $15 per share.
On September 30, 2021, 25,000 treasury shares are reissued at $10 per share.
Required:

Since the new par value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1 stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of the $0.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the issuing corporation.
On November 1, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $0.18 per share cash dividend on common stock and a $0.35 per share cash dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1, 2021, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2021.
On December 2, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock dividend payable on December 28, 2021, to shareholders of record on December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was selling in the open market at $10 per share. The dividend will result in 76,000 (0.01 Ã 7,600,000) additional shares being issued to shareholders.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2021, shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation. (Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,750,000.)

Miramar Industries manufactures two products, A and B. The manufacturing operation involves three overhead activities - production setup, material handling, and general factory activities. Miramar uses activity-based costing to allocate overhead to products. An activity analysis of the overhead revealed the following estimated costs and activity bases for these activities:
Activity Cost Activity Base
Production Setup $250,000 Number of setups
Material Handling $150,000 Number of parts
General Overhead $80,000 Number of direct labor hours
Each productâs total activity in each of the three areas are as follows:
Product A Product B
Number of setups 100 300
Number of parts 40,000 20,000
Number of direct labor hours 9,000 12,000
What is the activity rate for General Overhead?
A. $4.00 per direct labor hour
B. $3.81 per direct labor hour
C. $6.71 per direct labor hour
D. $4.20 per direct labor hour
Answer:
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Given the following information:
General Overhead $80,000 Number of direct labor hours
Number of direct labor hours 9,000 12,000= 21,000
To calculate the activity rate, we need to use the following formula:
Activity rate= estimated costs / total amount of allocation rate
General Overhead= 80,000 / 21,000
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour

Answer:
the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus.
Explanation:
A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected value.
In Financial accounting, deficit is usually as a result of revenue falling below expenses or expense exceeding revenue at a specific period of time.
For instance, if in a country liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account of the country.
This is simply as a result of a country having to import more goods and services than it is exporting to other countries in trade.
Generally, a deficit on the current account is because the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.
If the United States imports more than it exports, then the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus (all things being equal) because it is not selling its goods and services to other countries.

Explanation:
Hyper Color Company manufactures widgets. The following data is related to sales and production of the widgets for last year. Selling price per unit Variable manufacturing costs per unit Variable selling and administrative expenses per unit Fixed manufacturing overhead (in total) Fixed selling and administrative expenses (in total) Units produced during the year Units sold during year Using absorption costing, what is operating income for last year? (Round any intermediary calculations to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer: $24,000
Explanation:
Operating income under absorption costing:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and admin expenses
Cost of goods sold = Variable production cost + Fixed production cost
= (61 * 1,000 units sold) + (32,000 / 1,500 units produced * 1,000 units sold)
= $82,333
Selling and admin expenses:
= Variable + Fixed
= (6 * 1,000) + 8,000
= $14,000
Operating income = (120 * 1,000) - 82,333 - 14,000
= $23,667
= $24,000

The Mega-Bank is considering either a bankwide overhead rate or department overhead rates to allocate $135,000 of indirect costs. The bankwide rate could be based on either direct labor hours (DLH) or the number of loans processed. The departmental rates would be based on direct labor hours for Consumer Loans and a dual rate based on direct labor hours and the number of loans processed for Commercial Loans. The following information was gathered for the upcoming period:
Department DLH Loans Processed Direct Costs
Consumer 16,000 650 $350,000
Commercial 7,000 400 $250,000
Banc Corp. Trust estimates that it costs $500 to analyze and close a commercial loan. This amount has been included in the $410,000 of indirect costs. How much of the $410,000 indirect costs should be allocated to the Commercial Department?
Answer:
The Mega-Bank
The amount allocated to the Commercial Department is:
= $324,810.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Indirect costs = $410,000
Department DLH Loans Processed Direct Costs
Consumer 16,000 650 $350,000
Commercial 7,000 400 $250,000
Total 23,000 1,050 $600,000
Allocation Bases:
Bankwide rates:
DLH = $410,000/23,000 = $17.83
Loans processed = $410,000/1,050 = $390.48
Commercial Department Allocated Costs:
Cost to process loans = $500 * 400 = $200,000
Cost based on DLH = $17.83 * 7,000 = 124,810
Total costs = $324,810

Robin is granted 1,500 shares of restricted stock from her employer when the stock is trading at a fair market value of $25 per share. She is anticipating significant appreciation and wishes to minimize her future tax burden. As a result, she makes a Section 83(b) election. Assuming she is in the 35% marginal income tax bracket, how much income tax that will be due on this transaction in the year of election
Answer: $13125
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that in section 83(B), tax is being paid based on the stock's fair market value. Therefore, the income tax that will be due on this transaction in the year of election will be:
= Number of shares × Price × Tax rate
= 1500 × $25 × 35%
= 1500 × $25 × 0.35
= $13125
The following events took place when Managers A, B, and C were preparing budgets for the upcoming period:
I. Manager A increased property tax expenditures by 2% when she was informed of a recent rate hike by local authorities.
II. Manager B reduced sales revenues by 4% when informed of recent aggressive actions by a new competitor.
III. Manager C, who supervises employees with widely varying skill levels, used the highest wage rate in the department when preparing the labor budget.
Assuming that the percentage amounts given are reasonable, which of the preceding cases is (are) an example of building slack in budgets?
a. Il only.
b. I only.
c. II and III.
d. Ill only
e. I and II.
Answer:
Assuming that the percentage amounts given are reasonable, an example of building slack in budgets is:
d. Ill only
Explanation:
By using the highest wage rate in the department, Manager C deliberately overestimated her departmental expenses. However, her action is dictated by the need to ensure that there are no budget shortages for wages. By this slack, the actual performance of the department will be better than the budgeted performance because the department will likely spend less than its allotted costs.
The cases that represent an example of the building slacks in budgets should be option III.
Usage of highest wage rate:
Here we use the high wage rate with respect to the department. Also, the manager c should be overestimated the department expenses. The action should be dictated via the need for assurance that there should no shortages with respect to the wages. Also, the actual performance should be more than the budgeted performance since the department should lower than it

Suppose three engineers come to you with a plan for a disruptive, yet-to-be developed software program that seems compelling. They are asking for $10 million, the amount they think they will need over the next three years to reach cash flow positive. They have a pitch deck that includes a proposed deal. They are offering you 25% of the company. The founders own the remaining 75%. You will buy common stock, and are entitled to one of four seats on the board of directors; they hold the other three seats. One slide in the deck contains a detailed prediction of the value of the company. If you invest $10 million, you will own shares that are worth at least $50 million at the end of the third year.
Required:
a. What do you think of this proposed deal?
b. What counteroffer would you make?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Proposed bargain or deal is supportive of the business visionaries instead of the financial backer(investor) since all the capital is coming from the financial backer and the investor will be receiving just only 25% for the bargain or deal while he faces all the challenges posed or loss of capital. The business visionaries are not placing in any of their own personal capital but only their idea. They likewise have a bigger say in the administration of the business and the financial backer has no power over the choice since he conveys just 25% votes. Consequently, it's not a good bargain or deal for the financial backer considering the risk-reward ratio.
The counter-offer will include raising a proposed equity percent rate to half (i.e 50%). In addition to that, the financial backer needs to demand another seat on the board with the goal that they have equivalent authority over the administration and its choices. The most reduced the financial backer can go down is equity of 40% stake.
Identify the possible reason or reasons for this stark difference between income inequality and consumption inequality. Intergenerational mobility allows children to consume more than their parents. The poverty line does not reflect relative poverty. The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income. Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.
Answer:
The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income. Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.Explanation:
First part of this question reads:
In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.
The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.
When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
Leading up to the signing of a contract with an integration clause, a buyer sent an e-mail to the seller of a beautiful, new $45,000 boat asking, "You provide financing, right?" The seller responded, "Yes, of course." The contract, which the parties signed yesterday, said nothing about financing. Right after signing, the seller said, "OK, let's get you set up with financing!" He then ran the buyer's credit, which was not good. The buyer was not approved for financing through the seller's only source. The buyer believes that he, therefore, is not liable for the cost of the boat. Is the buyer correct?
Answer: No, because of the integration clause
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the buyer isn't correct as a result of the integration clause.
The integration clause, is a clause in a written contract that stipulates that a particular contract is complete and that the parties involved agreed to the contract and it's final.
This contract supersedes every other informal understandings and all other oral agreements relating as well. Therefore, the buyer is liable for the cost of the boat.

Glenville Company has the following information for April:
Cost of direct materials used in production $48,000
Direct labor 59,000
Factory overhead 37,000
Work in process inventory, April 1 40,000
Work in process inventory, April 30 40,000
Finished goods inventory, April 1 29,000
Finished goods inventory, April 30 18,000
Required:
For April, determine the cost of goods manufactured.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $144,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost of direct materials used in production $48,000
Direct labor 59,000
Factory overhead 37,000
Work in process inventory, April 1 40,000
Work in process inventory, April 30 40,000
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 48,000 + 59,000 + 37,000 - 40,000
cost of goods manufactured= $144,000
Suppose that you are considering the development of a residential subdivision. The development will require you to spend $300,000 today to acquire the land. You will also have to spend $750,000 in both years 1 and 2 in order to build the houses. You expect to make $1.5 million in year 3 and $2 million in year 4 from sales of the completed homes.

During August, Boxer Company sells $354,000 in merchandise that has a one year warranty. Experience shows that warranty expenses average about 5% of the selling price. The warranty liability account has a credit balance of $11,600 before adjustment. Customers returned merchandise for warranty repairs during the month that used $8200 in parts for repairs. The entry to record the estimated warranty expense for the month is: Question 8 options: Debit Estimated Warranty Liability $8200; credit Warranty Expense $8200. Debit Estimated Warranty Liability $17,700; credit Warranty Expense $17,700. Debit Warranty Expense $6100; credit Estimated Warranty Liability $6100. Debit Warranty Expense $14,300; credit Estimated Warranty Liability $14,300. Debit Warranty Expense $17,700; credit Estimated Warranty Liability $17,700.
Answer:
Debit Warranty Expense $14,300
Credit Estimated Warranty Liability $14,300
Explanation:
With regards to the above, we are matching the warrant cost , which can be anytime in the future.
Expected warranty liability
= 5% of sales
= 5% × $354,000
= $17,700
Less;
Current balance
= $11,600 - $8,200
= $3,400
Adjustment
= $14,300
Here, the returned goods had a cost of $8,200 which is warranted against warrant liability, hence the balance reduces to $3,400
Refer to Table 28-2. The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 was
O a. 88.9%.
O b. 53.3%
O c. 50%.
O d. 56.25%.
Answer: 56.25%
Explanation:
The labor force participation rate refers to the active workforce of a country. The following information can be derived from the question:
Adult population = 3200
Number of employed = 1600
Number of unemployed = 200
The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 will be:
= {(Number of employed + Number of unemployed) / Adult population} × 100
= (1600 + 200) / 3200 × 100
= 1800/3200 × 100
= 0.5625 × 100
= 56.25%
Consider the effects of inflation in an economy composed of only two people: Larry, a bean farmer, and Megan, a rice farmer. Larry and Megan both always consume equal amounts of rice and beans. In 2016 the price of beans was $1, and the price of rice was $4.
Suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $8.
Inflation was.
Indicate whether Larry and Megan were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.
Better Off
Worse Off
Unaffected
Larry
Megan
Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.
In this case, inflation was.
Indicate whether Larry and Megan were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.
Better Off
Worse Off
Unaffected
Larry
Megan
Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.
In this case, inflation was.
Indicate whether Larry and Megan were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.
Better Off
Worse Off
Unaffected
Larry
Megan
What matters more to Larry and Megan?
The relative price of rice and beans
The overall inflation rate
Answer:
a.
Inflation = (2017 price of basket - 2016 price of basket) / 2016 price of basket
2016 price of basket = 1 + 4 = $5
2017 price of basket = 2 + 8 = 10
Inflation
= (10 - 5) / 5
= 100%
Both Megan and Larry would be unaffected by the changes in prices because the prices doubled for both of them.
__________________________________________________________
b. Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.
Market basket in 2017 = 2 + 4.8 = $6.80
Inflation
= (6.8 - 5) / 5
= 36%
Larry will be better off because the price of beans increased by 100% which is more than the inflation rate of 36%.
Megan's price increase = (4.8 - 4)/4 = 20%.
Inflation is 36%.
Megan will be worse off as inflation is higher than the increase in price of rice.
__________________________________________________________
c. Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.
Market Basket in 2017 = 2 + 1.6 = $3.60
Inflation = (3.6 - 5)/5 = -28%
Larry will be better off because his prices have risen while general inflation has fallen.
Megan's price decrease = ( 1.6 - 4)/4 = -60%. Inflation was -28%.
Megan will be worse off because inflation decreased less than her prices did.
__________________________________________________________
d. What matters more to Larry and Megan?
The relative price of rice and beans
This matters more to them because a change in prices of the commodities they sell could either benefit them or give them a loss regardless of the inflation rate.
