Answer:
Part a
Variable Cost = $1.50 per visitor
Fixed Cost = $187,500
Part b
$4,087,500
Explanation:
Step 1 : Identify the High and Low Point
High : 2,375,000 visitors at $3,750,000
Low : 1,825,000 visitors at $2,925,000
Step 2 : Determine Variable Cost
Variable Cost = Diff in Overheads ÷ Diff in Visitors
= ($3,750,000 - $2,925,000) ÷ ( 2,375,000 - 1,825,000)
= $825,000 ÷ 550,000
= $1.50
Step 2 : Determine the Fixed Cost
Fixed Cost = Total Overheads - Variable Costs
Choosing the High point
= $3,750,000 - $1.50 x 2,375,000
= $187,500
Step 3 : Determine Maintenance Cost on 2,600,000 visitors
Cost formula : Maintenance Cost = $187,500 + $1.50 per visitor
therefore,
for 2,600,000 visitors,
Maintenance Cost = $187,500 + $1.50 x 2,600,000
= $4,087,500

c. How much warranty expense is reported for January 2013?
d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?
Answer:
a. See the attached excel file for the journal entries for 2012 and 2013.
b. We have the following:
Warranty Expense reported for November 2012 = $630
Warranty Expense reported for December 2012 = $1,320
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = $1,950
c. Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = $900
d. Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = $1,050
Explanation:
a. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions and adjustments for 2012 and 2013.
Note: See the attached excel file for the journal entries for 2012 and 2013.
In the attached excel, the following workings are used:
w.1: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 105 * $20 = $2,100
w.2: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630
w.3: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300
w.4: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 220 * $20 = $4,400
w.5: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600
w.6: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320
w.7: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 150 * $20 = $3,000
w.8: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 50 * $20 = $1,000
w.9: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900
b. How much warranty expense is reported for November 2012 and for December 2012?
Warranty Expense reported for November 2012 = Sales for November 2012 * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630
Warranty Expense reported for December 2012 = Sales for December 2012 * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = Reported Warranty Expense for November 2012 + Reported Warranty Expense for December 2012 = $630 + $1,320 = $1,950
c. How much warranty expense is reported for January 2013?
Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = Sales for January 2013 * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900
d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = $1,950
Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300
Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600
Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 + Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = $300 + $600 = $900
Therefore, we have:
Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 - Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = $1,950 - $900 = $1,050

You just won a lottery that promises to pay you $1 million exactly 10 years from today. Because the $1 million payment is guaranteed by the state in which you live, opportunities exist to sell the claim today for an immediate lump-sum cash payment. What is the least you will sell your claim for if you could earn 8.73 % on similar-risk investments during the 10-year period
Answer:
The minimum price is $434,214.74.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $1,000,000
Number of periods= 10 years
Discount rate= 8.73%
The minimum price of the prize is the present value of the payment. To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV /(1 + i)^n
PV= 1,000,000 / (1.087^10)
PV= $434,214.74
The minimum price is $434,214.74.
Trade credit and discounts are important strategies used by firms in the daily operations of their business. Calculate the cost of a firm's trade credit in each of the following situations (answers should be carried out to 2 decimal points, e.g. 35.78%, not 35% or 36% !) a) 2/12, Net 32 b) 3/15, Net 36 c) 2.5/18, Net 35 d) 2.25/20, Net 38
Answer:
When a discount is given as 2/12, Net 32, it means that the customer is allowed a 2% discount if they pay off their purchase in 12 days. If they don't, they would have to pay off the full amount in 32 days.
The Cost of a firm's credit is calculated by the formula:
= Discount %/ ( 100% - Discount %) * (360/Allowed payment days - Discount days)
a. 2 / 12, Net 32
= (2%/ (100 - 2% )) * (360 / (32 - 12))
= 36.73%
b) 3/15, Net 36
= (3%/ (100 - 3% )) * (360 / (36 - 15))
= 53.02%
c) 2.5/18, Net 35
= (2.5%/ (100 - 2.5% )) * (360 / (35 - 18))
= 54.30%
d) 2.25/20, Net 38
= (2.25%/ (100 - 2.25% )) * (360 / (38 - 20))
= 46.04%
Using the appropriate present value table and assuming a 12% annual interest rate, determine the present value on December 31, 2018, of a five-period annual annuity of $5,000 under each of the following situations: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.
2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.
3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.
Answer:
1. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $18,023.88
2. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $20,186.75
3. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $17,780.59
Explanation:
1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.
This is an example of ordinary annuity. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 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 = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?
P = Annual annuity = $5,000
r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $5,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^5) / 0.12)
PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501
PV = $18,023.88
2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.
This is an example of annuity due. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an annuity due as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - [1 / (1+r))^n) / r) * (1+r) .................................. (2)
Where;
Where;
PV = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?
P = Annual annuity = $5,000
r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $5,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1+0.12))^5) / 0.12) * (1+0.12)
PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501 * 1.12
PV = $5,000 * 4.03734934662641
PV = $20,186.75
3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.
Note: See the calculation of the present value on December 31, 2018 in the attached excel file.
This is also an example of ordinary annuity.
In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:
Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n .............. (1)
Where;
r = Quarterly interest rate = Annual interest rate / Number of quarters in a year = 12% / 4 = 0.12 / 4 = 0.03
n = number of quarters = number of years * Number of quarters in a year
From the attached excel file, we have:
Present value on December 31, 2018 = Total present value = $17,780.59

Explanation:
You just got a job and plan to save for the college expenses for your kids. You have a son and a daughter. Your son is 4 years old, and your daughter is only 1 year old. Both of them plan to go to a four-year college at the age of 18. The estimated college expense is about $40,000 per year. Assume you plan to invest into a portfolio that offers you return about 6% per year until your daughter is graduated from college. How much money do you need to save every year if your first saving is in one year
Answer:
$11,508.25
Explanation:
your son will start college in 14 years, and the present value of his college tuition = $40,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $138,604
your daughter will start college in 17 years, so you need in today's dollars $138,604
you will need to save enough money to cover both tuitions;
money required to cover your son's tuition = $138,604 / 21.015 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $6,595.48
money required to cover your daughter's tuition = $138,604 / 28.213 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $4,912.77
total annual savings = $11,508.25
Compute cost of goods sold for the period using the following information. Finished goods inventory, beginning $ 354,000 Work in process inventory, beginning 83,000 Work in process inventory, ending 77,100 Cost of goods manufactured 944,200 Finished goods inventory, ending 292,000
Answer:
the cost of goods sold is $1,006,200
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of goods sold = Opening finished goods + cost of goods manufactured - closing finished goods
= $354,000 + $944,200 - $292,000
= $1,006,200
Hence, the cost of goods sold is $1,006,200

Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
386,800 units
Explanation:
Note that, Richards Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing.
This method focuses on units completed and units in ending work in process.
therefore,
Equivalent units calculation
Materials = 372,000 x 100 % + 37,000 x 40 % = 386,800 units
Therefore, the cost per equivalent unit of materials is 386,800 units.

The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $5,330,000 in a fixed asset, using straight-line depreciation, with a useful life of 20 years, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $15,990,000 over the 20 years is (round to two decimal points). a.1.50% b.15.00% c.60.00% d.30.00%
Answer:
The Expected Average Rate of Return for the proposed investment is 30%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Average Investment = (Initial Cost + Residual Value) / 2 = ($5,330,000 + $0) / 2 = $2,665,000
Expected average annual income = Expected total net income / Useful life = $15,990,000 / 20 = $799,500
Expected Average Rate of Return = Estimated Average Annual Income / Average Investment = $799,500 / $2,665,000 = 0.30, or 30%

You want to save at least $10,000 for a down payment on a new car. In cell B6, enter a formula to calculate how much you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate. Use the appropriate cell references. Remember to use a negative value for the Pmt argument. There is no money in the account yet and payments are applied at the end of every month, so omit both the Pv and Type arguments. (Hint: Use the FV function.)
Answer:
$14,316.76
Explanation:
How much you will have saved?
Using MS Excel to calculate the FV function
= FV(Rate, Nper, Pmt)
= FV(1,5%, 24, 500)
= 14316.7604
= $14,316.76
So, the total amount you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate is $14,316.76

Boston reported assets with a book value of $60,000 and fair value of $98,000 and liabilities with a book value and fair value of $23,000 on the date of combination. Lowell also paid $3,000 to a search firm for finder's fees related to the acquisition. What amount will be recorded as goodwill by Lowell Corporation while recording its investment in Boston
Answer:
Lowell Corporation
The amount that will be recorded as goodwill by Lowell Corporation to record its investment in Boston is:
= $5,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investment in Boston Company = $83,000
Fair value of assets = $98,000
Fair value of liabilities 23,000
Net value of assets = $75,000
Goodwill = $5,000 ($80,000 - $75,000)
b) Acquired Goodwill is the difference between the cost of purchasing Boston Company ($80,000) and the net identifiable assets of Boston Company ($75,000). The net identifiable assets are calculated by subtracting the fair value of the liabilities from the fair value of the assets.

A small town is considering paving paradise hotel to put up a parking lot. The land will cost $25,000 and the construction of the lot is estimated to be $150,000. Each year, costs associated with the parking lot are estimated to be $17,500. The income from the lot is expected to be $18,000 the first year and increase by $3,500 each year for the 12 year life of the lot. Determine the B/C ratio if interest rate is 12%. [4 points]
Answer:
0.71
Explanation:
The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost
Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs
if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable
If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Present value of the benefits
Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $18,000 + 3500 = $21500
Cash flow in year 3 = $18,000 + (3500 x 2) = $25,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $18,000 + (3500 x 3) = $28500
Cash flow in year 5 = $18,000 + (3500 x 4) = $32,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $18,000 + (3500 x 5) = $35,500
Cash flow in year 7 = $18,000 + (3500 x 6) = $39,000
Cash flow in year 8 = $18,000 + (3500 x 7) = $42,500
Cash flow in year 9 = $18,000 + (3500 x 8) = $46,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $18,000 + (3500 x 9) = $49500
Cash flow in year 11 = $18,000 + (3500 x 10) = $53,000
Cash flow in year 12 = $18,000 + (3500 x 11) = $56,500
I = 12 %
PV = $202,331.70
Present value of the cost
Cash flow in year 0 = $25,000 + $150,000 = $175,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 12 = $17,500.
I = 12 %
PV = $283,401.55
B/C ratio = $202,331.70 / $283,401.55 = 0.71

Brown Cow Dairy uses the aging approach to estimate bad debt expense. The ending balance of each account receivable is aged on the basis of three time periods as follows:
(1) not yet due, $13,000;
(2) up to 120 days past due, $6,000; and
(3) more than 120 days past due, $5,500. Experience has shown that for each age group, the average loss rate on the amount of the receivables at year-end due to uncollectibility is
(1) 2 percent,
(2) 12 percent, and
(3) 30 percent, respectively.
At December 31 (end of the current year), the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is $710 (credit) before the end-of-period adjusting entry is made. Data during the current year follow:
a. During December, an Account Receivable (Patty's Bake Shop) of $660 from a prior sale was determined to be uncollectible; therefore, it was written off immediately as a bad debt.
b. On December 31, the appropriate adjusting entry for the year was recorded.
Required:
1. Give the required journal entries for the two items listed above.
2. Show how the amounts related to Accounts Receivable and Bad Debt Expense would be reported on the income statement and balance sheet for the current year. Disregard income tax considerations.
Answer:
1. Journal Entries :
a. Bad Debt Expense (Dr.) $660
Accounts Receivable (Cr.) $660
2. Accounts receivable Ending Balance :
Not yet due $13,000 * 98% = 12,740
Up to 120 days $6000 * 88% = 5280
More than 120 days $5500 * 70% = 3850
Totals = 21,870
Bad debt expense Ending balance :
Not yet due $13,000 * 2% = $260
Up to 120 days $6000 * 12% = $720
More than 120 days $5500 * 30% = $1,650
Totals = 2630
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is the expected uncollectible amount from accounts receivable. Usually company maintains an allowance for doubtful debt. Brown cow dairy uses aging approach for estimating bad debts of the company. The uncollectible amount is expensed out in Income Statement and asset is decreased in Balance Sheet.
The manager at the Overton Hotel in Lubbock believes that the success of the Texas Tech Red Raider Basketball team has an impact on the occupancy rate at the hotel during the first quarter of every year. Below are the number of victories for the Red Raiders in during the last three seasons and the hotel occupancy rate. This year, (year 4) the Red Raiders Basketball Team is expected to have another phenomenal season and win 31 games and the manager at the Overton has asked you to determine their first quarter occupancy rate for the upcoming year (year 4) using associative forecasting, given that the SLOPE = 0.0474 and the INTERCEPT =0.4743
Year Wins First Quarter Occupancy Rate
1 15 60%
2 28 90%
3 31 93%
a. 93.4%
b. 88.1%
c. 91.7%
d. 36.9%
e. 90.0%
Answer: 99.51%
Explanation:
This is a linear regression problem.
The relationship between the success of the team and the occupancy rate is in the form:
y = mx + c
y = occupancy rate
m = slope
x = number of games
c = slope
Intercept is supposed to be negative in question:
= 0.0474 * 31 + (-0.4743)
= 99.51%

Sheridan Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,322,900 and retained earnings of $4,854,000 at December 31, 2020. Sheridan later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $106,470 and $36,820, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings. Corrected cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount Corrected 12/31/20 retained earnings $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regard to the above information,
1. Corrected cost of goods sold is computed as
= Cost of goods sold + Overstated ending inventories 2019 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $1,322,900 + $106,470 - $36,820
= $1,253,250
2. Corrected 12/31/2020 retained earnings is computed as
= Retained earnings DEC 2020 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $4,854,000 - $36,820
= $4,817,180

Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records:
Total equivalent units of materials: 5,000
Total equivalent units of conversion: 4,400
Units started and completed during the period: 3,500
On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
a. 80%.b. 70%.c. 60%.d. 40%.
Answer:
c. 60%.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
First step is to calculate the Ending WIP
Ending WIP = 5,000 - 3,500
Ending WIP = 1,500 units
Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion using this formula
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completio
4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)
4,400 = 3,500 + 15x
15x = 4,400 - 3,500
15x = 900
x = 900/15
x = 60%
Therefore the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%
A semiprofessional baseball team near your town plays two home games each month at the local baseball park. The team splits the concessions 50/50 with the city but keeps all the revenue from ticket sales. The city charges the team $500 each month for the three-month season. The team pays the players and manager a total of $2500 each month. The team charges $10 for each ticket, and the average customer spends $6 at the concession stand. Attendance averages 100 people at each home game.
The team earns an average of $_________ in revenue for each game and $_____________ of revenue each season. With total costs of $___________ each season, the team finishes the season with $____________ of profit.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Amount charges for each ticket = $10
The average customer spends $6 at the concession stand but the team splits the concessions 50/50 with the city. Therefore, the team gets $6/2 = $3 from concession.
Revenue gotten per customer = $10 + $3 = $13
Average attendance = 100
Total revenue per game = $13 × 100 = $1300
Since there are 2 matches every months and it's a three months season, the number of home matches player will be: = 2 × 3 = 6. Therefore, total revenue will be:
= $1300 × 6
= $7800
The city charges the team $500 each month for the three-month season. The team pays the players and manager a total of $2500 each month. Therefore, Total cost = (500 × 3) + (2500 × 3)
= 1500 + 7500
= 9000
Profit/Loss = Revenue - Cost
= 7800 - 900
= 1200
Loss of $1200
The team earns an average of ($1300) in revenue for each game and ($7800) of revenue each season. With total costs of ($9000) each season, the team finishes the season with ($1200) as loss.
