Which of the following statements about the recording of interest on notes receivable is correct?
a. Interest on notes receivable is recorded as revenue only when the cash is received
b. When a company makes on interest payment on a note, the payment-is debited to Interest Receivables.
c. Interest on notes receivable is recognized when it is earned, which is not necessarily when the interest is received in cash.
d. Interest earned but not yet received must be recorded in an adjusting entry which include the debit to interest revenue.
Answer:
c. Interest on notes receivable is recognized when it is earned, which is not necessarily when the interest is received in cash.
Explanation:
Accrual principle of accounting is applied when it comes to recording of interest on notes receivable.
Accrual principle states that revenue or expense is recognized when it incurs or occurs not when it is paid or received.
Thus, Interest on notes receivable is recognized when it is earned, which is not necessarily when the interest is received in cash.
Windsor Corporation has retained earnings of $702,500 at January 1, 2017. Net income during 2017 was $1,426,500, and cash dividends declared and paid during 2017 totaled $83,200. Prepare a retained earnings statement for the year ended December 31, 2017. Assume an error was discovered: land costing $89,590 (net of tax) was charged to maintenance and repairs expense in 2014. (List items that increase retained earnings first.)
Answer:
The end of the year balance in retained earnings after correction of prior period error is $2,135,390
Explanation:
It is important to note that the error discovered has reduced retained earnings previously and by the time it is corrected retained earnings would increase by that amount of $89,590
Beginning retained earnings $702,500
net income for 2017 $1,426,500
dividends declared and paid in 2017 ($83,200)
correction of prior period error $89,590
Ending retained earnings $2,135,390
Zero Turbulence Airline provides air transportation services between Los Angeles, California; and Kona, Hawaii. A single Los Angeles to Kona round-trip flight has the following operating statistics:
Fuel $11,506
Flight crew salaries 8,813
Airplane depreciation 4,161
Variable cost per passenger—business class 45
Variable cost per passenger—economy class 35

Two cities are identical in all respects except City A has an assessment ratio of 100% and City B (in another state) has an assessment ratio of 25%. Both cities need to raise $1,000,000 in property tax revenues. The statutory tax rates on property are
Available Options are:
A. higher in City A than City B.
B. higher in City B than City A.
C. identical in both cities.
D. dependent on non-property tax revenues in each.
Answer:
Option B. Higher in the city B than in city A.
Explanation:
If we talk about the assessment ration, then it is calculated as under:
Assessment ratio = Value of property assessed by municipality / Fair Market value of the property
This ratio helps in calculating the property tax for each year and if the ratio is higher then the property tax rate will be set higher to collect the target property tax revenue and vice versa.
As in this case, the assessment ratio of company B is 100% which is higher than city A, which means that the city B will require higher tax rates to collect the target property tax revenue.
Hence the property tax rate in city B will be higher than City A to collect the same target property tax revenue.
Years ago, a bond was issued at par with a 7% coupon. This year, new issue bonds of similar credit quality are being issued at 10%. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: A. The new bonds will be issued at a premium to the current price of the 7% bonds
Explanation:
The New Bonds will have a coupon of 10% which will be higher than the 7% that was previous on offer for the same type of bonds.
This means that the same type of bond is giving a greater return than before. Investors will therefore want more of the bond giving out better returns and will not mind paying a higher price to get it.
For this reason, the bonds issued this year with a 10% coupon will sell at a Premium (higher than) the bonds that were issued years ago that only have a coupon rate of 7%.
A manager recorded the performance review scores for each employee and placed the results in the bar chart below. All employees received a rating on each of the Evaluation Categories. If Person 6 obtained the highest score possible, what score did Person 2 receive
Answer and Explanation:
There are six people totaling on behalf of the Score
But as a person 2 scores as much as a person 6 scores And person 1 scores as much as a person 5 scores so for all six people we only need four different ranking categories.
As an individual 6 score thus the highest
There are two people Pers 2 and Individual 6 in Excellent Category
We can say that the highest score belongs to person 3 hence Person 3 categories as Good after them from the graph.
After him, the highest score goes to person 1 and person 5, since both score equal
While person 1 and person 5 appear at Category Fair
The last person who is a minimum score of Person 4 thus falls in Poor Category.
We can also see, as with the highest scorers (2 and 6), that a total of 9 squares (these none squares are counted separately by lines in the graph) if we take each line as 4 units.
Then Individual 2 scores 36
(The only probability divisible by 9 is here 36)
Thus we may claim that individual 2 comes with 36 points in Category Excellence.
Time Remaining 1 hour 48 minutes 56 seconds01:48:56 Item 5Item 5 Time Remaining 1 hour 48 minutes 56 seconds01:48:56 Accounts payable are: Multiple Choice Amounts received in advance from customers for future services. Always payable within 30 days. Estimated liabilities. Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit.
Answer:
Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit.
Explanation:
Accounts payable are basically short term debts that a company has with its suppliers. E.g. a retailer purchases goods from a wholesaler on terms n/30. In this case, the accounts payable would be the amount of money owed to the retailer. There is no specific time frame for an accounts payable, since it varies depending on the credit that the supplier gives. E.g. sometimes a supplier will sell on a 45 day credit period, or even 60 day period.
Given the following items and costs as of the balance sheet date, determine the value of Light Company's merchandise inventory.
- $2,400 goods sold by Light to another company. The goods are in transit and shipping terms are FOB shipping point.
- $3,400 goods sold by another company to Light. The goods are in transit and shipping terms are FOB shipping point.
- $4,400 owned by Light but in the possession of another company, the consignee.
- Damaged goods owned by Light that originally cost $5,400 but now have an $1,200 net realizable value.
Answer:
Light Company
Merchandise Inventory:
Goods $2,400 sold on FOB shipping point = $0
Goods $3,400 bought on FOB shipping point = $3,400
Goods $4,400 on consignment = $4,400
Goods $5,400 with net realizable value of $1,200 = $1,200
Value of inventory owned by Light Company = $9,000
Explanation:
a) Goods $2,400 sold on FOB shipping point: FOB shipping point means Free on Board shipping point. This trade term specifies when ownership right is established, that it is at the shipping point and not the destination of the goods when the buyer takes possession. The ownership was transferred to customer at shipping point with all risks and benefits. They no longer belong to Light and are therefore not part of Light's inventory after the shipment.
b) Goods $3,400 bought on FOB shipping point: As explained above, the ownership right and obligation were transferred at shipping point. The goods belong to Light as it is the lawful owner based on the shipping term.
c) Goods $4,400 on consignment: Goods on consignment do not belong legally to consignee though they are at his physical possession. They belong to the consignor until they are sold to a third party.
d) Goods $5,400 with net realizable value of $1,200: The value of an item is not actually the cost but what it can be sold for. This is especially so for an item that had previously suffered some damage. The net realizable value is therefore to be used to account for the damaged goods so that profit is not overstated.

Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.88 million. The fixed asset falls into the three-year MACRS class. The project is estimated to generate $2,140,000 in annual sales, with costs of $823,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $360,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $240,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the projects Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3?

Year 0 -$ 3,240,000
Year 1 $ 1,192,050
Year 2 $ 1,304,106
Year 3 $ 1,595,994
If the required return is 10 percent, what is the project's NPV?
using a financial calculator, NPV = $120,549.29
Explanation:
cash flow year 0 = $2,880,000 + $360,000 = $3,240,000
MACRS depreciation
33.33% x $2,880,000 = $960,000
44.45% x $2,880,000 = $1,280,160
14.81% x $2,880,000 = $399,840 (since salvage value is $240,000)
cash flow year 1 = [($2,140,00 - $823,000 - $960,000) x 0.65] + $960,000 = $1,192,050
cash flow year 2 = [($2,140,00 - $823,000 - $1,280,160) x 0.65] + $1,280,160 = $1,304,106
cash flow year 3 = [($2,140,00 - $823,000 - $399,840) x 0.65] + $399,840 + $240,000 + $360,000 = $1,595,994

Suppose that you just purchased 150 shares of XYZ stock for $60 per share. a. If the initial margin requirement is 71.00%, how much money must you borrow?
Answer:
$2,610
Explanation:
Calculation for how much money you must borrow.
Using this formula
Amount to be borrowed =( Purchased shares* Per share price*(Initial margin requirement percentage)
Let plug in the formula
Amount to be borrowed= 150 shares*$60 per shares *(1-0.71)
Amount to be borrowed=$9,000*(0.29)
Amount to be borrowed=$2,610
Therefore how much money you must borrow will be $2,610
Epsilon Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs:
Direct material $8.40
Direct labor 24.40
Overhead 42.00
Total costs per unit $74.80
An outside supplier offers to provide Epsilon with all the units it needs at $66.20 per unit. If Epsilon buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 30% of its overhead. Epsilon should choose to:
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $74.80.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $62.20.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $45.40.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $45.40.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $62.20.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct material $8.40
Direct labor 24.40
Overhead 42.00
Total costs per unit $74.80
Purchasing price= $66.20 per unit.
First, we need to determine the real production cost per unit. If 30% of overhead is not avoidable, we will take into account only 70% of overhead.
Total production cost per unit= 8.4 + 24.4 + (42*0.7)= $62.2
It is cheaper to make the unit. If the unit is produced, the company will save $4 per unit.

Answer:
a. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018
we must first determine the market price of the bonds:
PV of face value = $2,000,000 / (1 + 5%)²⁰ = $753,778.97 ≈ $753,779
PV of coupon payments = $110,000 x 12.462 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 20 periods) = $1,370,820
market value of the bonds = $753,779 + $1,370,820 = $2,124,599

A corporation that uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in a 40%-owned investee (that earned $20,000 and paid $5,000 in dividends) made the following entries: Investment in investee $8,000 Investment Income $8,000 Investment in investee $2,000 Cash $2,000 What effect will these entries have on the investor’s statement of financial position?
Answer:
Investment in the investee will be overstated, retained earnings will be overstated.
Explanation:
The effect on the investor’s statement of financial position is shown below:-
Because the investor owns more than 30 percent of the equity approach has to be used. This will result in overestimated investments of $8,000 which comes from $20,000 × 40 percent in investee, which will also result in overestimated retained earnings of $8,000 which comes from $20,000 × 40 percent

Under absorption costing, a company had the following unit costs when 18,000 units were produced.
Direct labor $2
Direct material 3
Variable overhead 4
Total variable cost 9
Fixed overhead ($50,000/10,000 units) 5
Total production cost per unit $14
Required:
Compute the company's total production cost per unit if 12,500 units had been produced. Total production cost per unit.
Answer:
Total unitary cost= $13
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor $2
Direct material 3
Variable overhead 4
Total variable cost= 9
Fixed overhead= $50,000
Units produed= 12,500
To calculate the total cost per unit, first, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead.
Unitary fixed overhead= 50,000/12,500= $4
Total unitary cost= 9 + 4= $13
True or False: Computing interest using the sum-of-the-digits method allocates more interest at the beginning of a loan than at the end of the loan.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
To illustrate how the sum-of-the-digits method allocates interest we can use a lease example:
You are the lessor and you will lease a machine during 4 years. The lease requires 4 equal payments of $100,000 at the beginning of the year. After the lease, the asset's salvage value = $0.
The asset's current value = $300,000, so total interests received = $100,000
Using the sum-of-the-digits method, you will allocate interest as follows:
year 1 = 3/6 x $100,000 = $50,000year 2 = 2/6 x $100,000 = $33,333year 3 = 1/6 x $100,000 = $17,000The largest portion of interests is allocated during the beginning of the loan.
During the first year of Wilkinson Co.'s operations, all purchases were recorded as assets. Supplies in the amount of $28,800 were purchased. Actual year-end supplies amounted to $6,600. The adjusting entry for store supplies will
Answer:
The expense account will be increased by $22,200
Explanation:
During the first year, all purchases were recorded as assets instead of expenses(supplies). This means asset account have been overstated while expenses account have been understated.
The adjusting entry will be
Supplies purchased - Actual year-end supplies
$28,800 - $6,600
$22,200.
The expense account will be increased by $22,200
Can you explain answer below:
#28 The Canadian subsidiary of a U.S. company reported cost of goods sold of 50,000 C$, for the current year ended December 31. The beginning inventory was 15,000 C$, and the ending inventory was 10,000 C$. Spot rates for various dates are as follows:
Date beginning inventory was acquired $1.08 = 1C$
Rate at beginning of the year $1.10 = 1C$
Weighted average rate for the year $1.12 = 1C$
Date ending inventory was acquired $1.13 = 1C$
Assuming the Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian subsidiary, the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement is
Answer is C. $56,000
Answer:
$56,000
Explanation:
Data:
Cost of good sold (single) = $50,000
Weighted average rate of the year = $1.12
Cost of good sold consolidated = ???????
Solution:
In order to find the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement, we will multiply the cost of goods sold given for Canadian subsidiary with the weighted average rate of the year.
Calculation:
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $50,000 x $1.12
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $56,000
Chamberlain Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 6 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,083, make semiannual payments, and mature in 20 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par?
Answer:
5.36%
Explanation:
We would need to calculate the yield to maturity of the current bonds:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
coupon = $1,000 x 6% x 1/2 = $30face value = $1,000market value = $1,083n = 20 x 2 = 40YTM = {$30 + [($1,000 - $1,083)/40]} / [($1,000 + $1,083)/2] = $27.925 / $1,041.50 = 0.026812 x 2 = 0.05362 = 5.36%
Since the bond's coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds are sold at a premium. In order to sell bonds at the par value, you must lower the coupon rate.

The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50%
= 6.50/100
= 0.065
The company beta is 1.85
The required return on the market is 10.50%
The risk free rate is 4.50%
The first step is to calculate the rate of return using the CAMP model
R = Risk free rate+beta(market return-risk free rate)
= 4.50%+1.85(10.50%-4.50%)
= 4.50%+1.85×6%
= 4.50%+11.1
= 15.6
Required rate of return= 15.6
Therefore the current stock price can be calculated as follows
Po= Do(1+g)/(r-g)
Where Do= 0.75, g= 0.065, r= 15.6
Po= 0.75(1+0.065)/(0.156-0.065)
Po= 0.75(1.065)/0.091
Po= 0.7987/0.091
Po= $8.78
Hence the company current stock price is $8.78

At the beginning of the year, Ann and Becky own equally all of the stock of Whitman, Inc., an S corporation. Whitman generates a $120,000 loss for the year. On the 189th day of the year, Ann sells her half of the Whitman stock to her son, Scott. Becky's stock basis is $41,300 How much of the Whitman loss belongs to Ann and Becky? In your computations, round any divisions to four decimal places. Round the final answer to the nearest dollar. Assume a 365 day year. Ann's share of Whitman's loss is $_______ and Becky's share of the loss is $______ However,______ loss is limited to $__________.
Answer:
1. Share of Ann's Loss: $31,048
2. Share of Becky's Loss: $60,000
3. Maximum Loss Allowed: $41,300
Explanation:
The total loss for the year is $120,000 and both Ann and Becky own 50% each.
1. Share of Ann's Loss:
Ann had ownership of Whitman Inc. for 189 days which means the 50% of the total loss would be further lessened by 189/365 factor.
Mathematically:
Ann's Loss = $1,20,000 * 50% * (189/365) = $31,048 Loss
2. Share of Becky's Loss:
This means that the share of loss for Becky would be = $120,000 * 50%
= $60,000
3. Maximum Loss Allowed:
As the stock basis is $41,300, hence the maximum loss for Becky would be $41,300.
In a simple economy (assume there are no taxes, thus Y is disposable income), the consumption function is Upper C equals 1000 plus 0.9 Upper YC = 1000 + 0.9Y.
Thus, autonomous consumption is _________ nothing and the marginal propensity to consume is ______________.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by $ ____________.
Answer:
Autonomous consumption is $1,000 and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by $90.
Explanation:
Given C = 1000 + 0.9Y
Autonomous consumption refers to consumption expenditure of consumers that does not depend on income. Therefore, autonomous consumption is therefore the consumption expenditure made by the consumers when they do not have income or when income is zero (i.e. when Y = 0).
Substituting for Y = 0 into the consumption function, we can obtain autonomous consumption is follows:
Autonomous consumption = 1000 + (0.9 * 0) = 1,000
The marginal propensity to consume refers to the proportion of the increase in disposable income that is spent on the consumption of goods and services by a consumer. From the consumption function, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
Since marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, a consumer whose income increases by $100 will therefore increase consumption by $90 (i.e. $100 * 0.9 = $90).
