Select one: a. $50,000 increase b. $250,000 increase c. $250,000 decrease d. $550,000 increase
Question:
The following information relates to next year's projected operating results of the Children's Division of Grunge Clothing Corporation:
Contribution margin.... 200,000
Fixed Expense.... 500,000
net operating loss..... (300,000)
If Children's Division is dropped, half of the fixed costs above can be eliminated. What will be the effect on Grunge's profit next year if Children's Division is dropped instead of being kept?
A) 50,000 increase
B) 250,000 increase
C)250,000 decrease
D) 550,000 increase
Answer:
Option A is correct
Increase in profit = $50,000
Explanation:
To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making division, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.
It is noteworthy that only the fixed cost attributed to division can only be saved should the division be shut down.
The analysis is done as follows:
$
Lost contribution (200,000 )
Savings in fixed cost (1/2× 500,000) 250,000
Net savings 50,000
Increase in profit = $50,000

The president of Nash Company is considering a proposal by the factory manager for the purchase of a machine for $72,500. The useful life would be eight years, with no residual scrap value. The use of the machine will produce a positive annual cash flow of $14,000 a year for eight years. An annuity table shows that the present value of $1 received annually for eight years and discounted at 10% is 5.335. The net present value of the proposal, discounted at 10%, is:___________A. ($3,868).B. $2,190.C. $3,868.D. Zero.
Answer:
B. $2,190
Explanation:
Calculation for the net present value of the proposal
Using this formula
Net present value=(Annual cash flow×Discounted present value)- Machine purchase amount
Let plug in the formula
Net present value=($14,000 ×5.335)-$72,500
Net present value=$74,690-$72,500
Net present value= $2,190
Therefore the Net present value will be $2,190
In January, Stripe, Inc. purchased 50 shares of its own $10 par value common stock for $20 per share. In March, Stripe sold 10 shares at $25 per share. The journal entry to record the sale of treasury stock using the cost method would include a (debit/credit) Blank 1 of 2 to Treasury Stock in the amount of $ Blank 2 of 2.
Answer: credit; $200
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the sale of treasury stock using the cost method would include a credit to Treasury Stock in the amount of $200.
Using the cost method, the journal entry should reflect the sale of the stock at the original price it was purchased at ( its cost). With the original cost of purchase being $20, the 10 shares that were sold will be recorded as;
= 10 shares * $20
= $200
This will be credited to the Treasury account and along with the additional amount made on the sale, debited to the cash account to reflect a cash increase.
g An accelerated depreciation method: Group of answer choices Results in reporting higher earnings every year. Depreciation an asset over a shorter life than does the straight-line method. Recognizes more depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's useful life and less in the later years. Is required for assets that become technologically obsolete before they physically wear out.
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: Recognizes more depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's useful life and less in the later years.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Accelerated Depreciation" is refered to a method used in the accouting fields in order to determine how much of a permanent asset has been worn out by the time that has passed and to put that amount in the accounts of the company so that there is a record of the money that has been lost for those depreciations. Moreover, in difference with the traditional method, this one uses a process in where the depreciation will be higher in the early years of the asset while in the latest will be less depreciation.

Assume that your aunt sold her house on December 31, and to help close the sale she took a second mortgage in the amount of $10,000 as part of the payment. The mortgage has a quoted (or nominal) interest rate of 12%; it calls for payments every 6 months, beginning on June 30, and is to be amortized over 10 years. Now, 1 year later, your aunt must inform the IRS and the person who bought the house about the interest that was included in the two payments made during the year. (This interest will be income to your aunt and a deduction to the buyer of the house.) To the closest cent, what is the total amount of interest that was paid during the first year
Answer:
Total interest paid during the first year: $1,183.69
Explanation:
First, we need to know the installment amount:
[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]
PV 10,000.00
time 20
rate 0.06
[tex]10000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-20} }{0.06} = C\\[/tex]
C $ 871.85
now we calcualte the interest and amortization made in the first payment:
interest: 10,000 x 6% = 600
Amortization 871,85 - 600 = 271,85
Principal at second installment:
10,000 - 271.85 = 9,728.15
Interest 9,728.15 x 0.06 = 583,69
Total interest: 583,69 + 600 = 1.183,69

Hoover Inc. has current assets of $350,000 and fixed plant assets of $650,000. Current liabilities are $100,000 and long-term liabilities are $250,000. There is $120,000 in preferred stock outstanding and the firm has issued 10,000 shares of common stock. Compute book value (net worth) per share $53.00. $75.00. $65.00. $84.00.
Answer:
$53.00
Explanation:
The computation of book value is shown below:-
But before that we need to determine the net asset which is
Net asset = Total asset - Total liabiliites
= ($350,000 + $650,000) - ($100,000 - $250,000)
= $1,000,000 - $350,000
= $650,000
Now
Value per share= (Net asset - preference share) ÷ number of common stocks
= ($650,000 - $120,000 ) ÷ 10,000 shares
= $530,000 ÷ 10,000
= $53 per share
Peta Corporation and its subsidiary reported consolidated net income of $320,000 for the year ended December 31, 20X8. Peta owns 80 percent of the common shares of its subsidiary, acquired at book value. Noncontrolling interest was assigned income of $30,000 in the consolidated income statement for 20X8. What is the amount of separate operating income reported by Peta for the year
Answer: $170,000
Explanation:
Based on the information provided in the question, the amount of separate operating income that will be reported by Peta for the year goes thus:
The total income of subsidiary is calculated as:
= [30000/(100 - 80)] × 100
= (30000/20) × 100
= 1500 × 100
= 150000
Therefore, the operating income of Peta will be:
= Consolidated income - the total Subsidiary income
= $320000 - $150000
= $170000

Convex Mechanical Supplies produces a product with the following costs as of July 1, 20X1: Material $5 Labor 3 Overhead 2 $10 Beginning inventory at these costs on July 1 was 11,500 units. From July 1 to December 1, Convex produced 26,000 units. These units had a material cost of $7 per unit. The costs for labor and overhead were the same. Convex uses FIFO inventory accounting. a. Assuming that Convex sold 28,000 units during the last six months of the year at $14 each, what would gross profit be?
Answer:
Gross profit= $79,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
July 1, 20X1:
Material $5
Labor 3
Overhead 2
Total= $10
Beginning inventory at these costs on July 1 was 11,500 units.
From July 1 to December 1, Convex produced 26,000 units.
These units had a material cost of $7 per unit.
First, we need to determine the cost of goods sold. Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the COGS is calculated using the cost of the first units produces.
COGS= 11,500*10 + 16,500*12= $313,000
Now, we can calculate the gross profit:
Gross profit= sales - cogs
Gross profit= 28,000*14 - 313,000
Gross profit= $79,000

Debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 30 percent dividend payout ratio. No external equity financing is possible. What is the sustainable growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Sustainable growth rate %
Answer:
0.1046 or 10.46%
Explanation:
The computation of the sustainable growth rate is shown below:
The Sustainable growth rate of the firm is
= Return on Equity × ( 1 - Dividend Payout Ratio )
where,
Dividend Payout Ratio = 30%
And,
Return on equity is
= Net Income ÷ Shareholder 's equity
= $3660 ÷ $ 24,500
= 0.14938
So,
Sustainable growth rate is
= 0.14938 × (1 - 30%)
= 0.1046 or 10.46%

The following transactions occurred during July: Received $970 cash for services provided to a customer during July. Received $3,400 cash investment from Bob Johnson, the owner of the business. Received $820 from a customer in partial payment of his account receivable which arose from sales in June. Provided services to a customer on credit, $445. Borrowed $6,700 from the bank by signing a promissory note. Received $1,320 cash from a customer for services to be performed next year. What was the amount of revenue for July
Answer: $1,415
Explanation:
Going by the Accrual principle in Accounting, the revenue to be recognized has to be for services rendered in the period of interest regardless of it is in cash or on account.
The revenue transactions for the month of July therefore will be for only services rendered in July.
Those include;
Received $970 cash for services provided to a customer during July.Provided services to a customer on credit, $445The rest were either equity, liability or revenue for a period other than July.
Revenue for July is therefore;
= 970 + 445
= $1,415
Straker Industries estimated its short-run costs using a U-shaped average variable cost function of the form and obtained the following resultsDEPENDENT VARIABLE: AVC R-SQUARE F-RATIO P-VALUE ON FOBSERVATIONS: 35 0.8713 108.3 0.0001VARIABLE PARAMETER ESTIMATE STANDARD ERROR T-RATIO P-VALUE INTERCEPT 43.40 13.80 3.14 0.0036Q -2.80 0.90 -3.11 0.0039Q2 0.20 0.05 4.00 0.0004What is the estimated equation for average variable cost (AVC)?What is the estimated equation for short-run marginal cost (SMC)?What is the estimated equation for total variable cost (TVC)?At what level of output is AVC at its minimum point for Straker Industries?If Straker Industries produces 20 units of output, what is its estimated TVC, AVC and SMC?
Answer:
Note: The organized table is attached as picture below
i. What is the estimated equation for average variable cost (AVC)?
Intercept value = 43.40, Parameter estimates of Q and Q2 = -2.80 & 0.20 respectively.
Hence, the estimated equation for AVC is:
AVC = 43.40 - 2.80Q + 0.20Q2
ii. What is the estimated equation for total variable cost (TVC)?
Similarly, the estimated equation for TVC is
= AVC * Q
= 43.40Q - 2.80Q2 + 0.20Q3
iii. At what level of output is AVC at its minimum point for Straker Industries?
AVC will attain its minimum value when its derivative is set = 0. This occurs when:
-2.80 = -0.40Q
Q = 7.
iv. What is the estimated equation for short-run marginal cost (SMC)?
SMC is the derivative of TVC, its estimated equation is given by:
= 43.40 - 5.60Q + 0.60Q2
iv. If Straker Industries produces 20 units of output, what is its estimated TVC, AVC and SMC?
TVC = 43.40Q - 2.80Q^2 + 0.20Q^3
TVC = 43.40(20) - 2.80(20)^2 + 0.20(20)^3
TVC = 868 - 1120 + 1600
TVC = 1348
At 20 unit of output, its estimated TVC is 1348
AVC = 43.40 - 2.80Q + 0.20Q^2
AVC = 43.40 - 2.80(20) + 0.20(20)^2
AVC = 43.40 - 56 + 80
AVC = 67.4
At 20 unit of output, its estimated AVC is 67.4
SMC = 43.40 - 5.60Q + 0.60Q^2
SMC = 43.40 - 5.60(20) + 0.60(20)^2
SMC = 43.40 - 112 + 240
SMC = 171.4
At 20 unit of output, its estimated SMC is 171.4.

Let plug in the formula
Angel's hypothetical tax expense=$1,006,000×21%
Angel's hypothetical tax expense=$211,260
Therefore Angel's hypothetical tax expense in its reconciliation of its income tax expense will be $211,260
The Balance Sheets at the end of each of the first two years of operations indicate the following: 2006 2005 Total current assets $600,000 $560,000 Total investments 60,000 40,000 Total property, plant, and equipment 900,000 700,000 Total current liabilities 150,000 80,000 Total long-term liabilities 350,000 250,000 Preferred 9% stock, $100 par 100,000 100,000 Common stock, $10 par 600,000 600,000 Paid-in-Capital in excess of par-common stock 60,000 60,000 Retained earnings 325,000 210,000 If Net Income is $115,000 and interest expense is $30,000 for 2006, what is the return on total assets for 2006 (round percent to one decimal place)
Answer:
Return on Assets (2006) = 7.60 %
Explanation:
Return on Assets = Earnings Before Interest and Tax ÷ Total Assets
Therefore,
Return on Assets (2006) = ($115,000 + $30,000) / ( $600,000 + $60,000 + $900,000) × 100
= $118,000 / $1,560,000 × 100
= 7.60 % (one decimal place)

Assume that the Accumulated Depreciation account has an unadjusted normal balance of $120,000. The company's list of adjusting entries includes one that debits Depreciation Expense and credits the Accumulated Depreciation account for $20,000. The adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account is a:
Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account is shown below:-
adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account = unadjusted normal balance + Credit Accumulated Depreciation account
= $120,000 + $20,000
= $140,000
Hence the adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account is $140,000.
