Decorative Concrete produces a concrete overlay for residential and commercial concrete flooring. Customers have complained that one of the products results in excessive cracking. The likelihood the company will incur a loss on this product is probable and the amount of the loss is estimated to be somewhere between $1.1 and $4 million.
1. Should this contingent liability be reported, disclosed in a note only, or both? To be reported To be disclosed Both2. What loss, if any, should Decorative Concrete report in its income statement?3. What liability, if any should Decorative Concrete report in its balance sheet?4. What entry, if any should be recorded in the journal?
Answer:
Decorative Concrete
1. This contingent liability should be disclosed in a note only.
2. Decorative Concrete should not report any loss in its income statement, yet.
3. Decorative Concrete should not report any liability in its balance sheet, yet.
4. No entry should be recorded in the journal.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated loss = $1.1 and $4 million
Loss is probable but the loss cannot be reasonably estimated
b) Decorative Concrete cannot reasonably estimate the loss that may arise from the contingent liability. Therefore, it should only disclose the future event in a note to the financial statements. Accounting rules specify that Decorative Concrete should record this event as a contingent liability in its accounts when it is probable that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. At that time, a specific amount of loss will be recorded (debit) and a specific liability established (credit) in advance of the settlement. In this Decorative's case, only one condition is met.
Bi-Lo Traders is considering a project that will produce sales of $44,800 and have costs of $25,700. Taxes will be $4,500 and the depreciation expense will be $2,650. An initial cash outlay of $2,100 is required for net working capital. What is the project's operating cash flow?
Answer:
$10,700
Explanation:
Operating cash flow is computed as;
= Net income + non cash expenses - outlay in working capital
First, we'll determine the net income
Net income = Sales $44,800 - cost $27,500 depreciation expense $2,650 - Taxes $4,500
Net income = $10,150
Operating cash flow = $10,150 + $2,650 - $2,100 = $10,700
Jackson, Inc., manufactures two products that it sells to the same market. Excerpted below are its budgeted and actual operating results for the year just completed: Unit sales Budged Actual Product X 22,500 42,000 Product Y 90,000 80,000 Unit contribution margin Product X $4.80 $3.90 Product Y $13.00 $14.00 Unit selling price Product X $13.00 $14.00 Product Y $30.00 $29.00 Industry volume was estimated to be 1,875,000 units at the time the budget was prepared. Actual industry volume for the period was 2,440,000 units. Jackson measures variances using contribution margin. Total sales quantity variance is: $97,280 favorable. $95,190 favorable. $107,920 favorable. $84,500 favorable. $36,400 favorable.
Answer:
$46,500 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the total sales quantity variance is as follows:
Total sales quantity variance
Sales quantity variance is
= (Actual quantity sold - Budgeted quantity) × Budgeted price
For product X, it would be
= (42,000 - 22,500) × $13
= $253,500 favorable
And, For product Y, it is
= (80,000 - 90,000) × $30
= $300,000 unfavorable
So, the total would be
= $300,000 - $253,500
= $46,500 unfavorable
This is the answer but the same would not be provided in the given options

You are the manager of two plants (factories) in Mexico that manufacture shoes. The combined monthly output of both plants is to be 10,000 pairs of shoes. Explain, based on your understanding , how you would best divide this output of 10,000 pairs of shoes between the two plants.
Answer:
Given that both factories together produce 10,000 pairs of shoes, and both carry out the entire production process of the same in an identical way, if I were the manager of the same, I would distribute the benefits of what is produced by both factories in the following way: 50% of them equally, 25% for each one; and the other 50% in proportion to what each one has actually produced. Thus, it would guarantee that both receive income and, at the same time, it would encourage production by the one that generated the most income.

a. $150,000
b. $169,000
c. $210,000
d. $530,000
Answer:
a. $150,000
Explanation:
Calculation for What amount of gross profit should Black Bear recognize in 2017 using the percentage-of-completion method
First step is to calculate the Total estimated contract costs at 2016
Total estimated contract costs at 2016=$3,780,000+$1,620,000
Total estimated contract costs at 2016=$5,400,000
Second step is to calculate the Percentage of completion
Percentage of completion = $3,780,000 / ($3,780,000+$1,620,000)
Percentage of completion =$3,780,000 / $5,400,000
Percentage of completion =0.7*100
Percentage of completion =70%
Now let calculate the gross profit
Using this formula
Gross profit=Percentage of completion *(Contract Price-Total estimated contract costs at 2016)
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit=70%*($6,000,000-$5,400,000)
Gross profit=70%*$600,000
Gross profit=$150,000
Therefore amount of gross profit should Black Bear recognize in 2017 using the percentage-of-completion method will be $150,000

MacGuffins have a demand function of QD = 70 – P and a supply function of QS = 2P + 10. Determine the price at equilibrium
Answer: 20
Explanation:
For us to calculate the equilibrium price, we must equate the quantity demanded with the quantity supplied. In this case, Qd = Qs where,
QD = 70 – P
QS = 2P + 10.
QD = QS
70 - P = 2P + 10
70 - 10 = 2P + P
60 = 3P
P = 60/3
P = 20
The equilibrium price is 20

Answer:
1. a. Earnings per share:
= Total earnings / No. of shares
= (Addition to retained earnings + Dividends) / No. of shares
= (641,000 + 50,000) / 730,000
= $0.95
b. Dividends per share:
= Dividends / No. of shares
= 50,000 / 730,000
= $0.07
c. Book Value per share:
= Ending total equity / No. of shares
= 7,360,000 / 730,000
= $10.08
2. a. Market to book ratio
= Market price / Book value
= 30.60 / 10.08
= 3.06 times
b. Price - earnings ratio:
= Market price / Earnings per share
= 30.60 / 0.95
= 32.21 times
3. Price - sales ratio
= Market value of equity / Sales
= (30.60 * 730,000 shares) / 10,660,000
= 2.1 times

June 30 Work in Process Inventory $11,100
Explanation:
Calculation for the balance in Work in Process Inventory at the end of each month
April 30 Work in Process Inventory=$6,200+$5,000
April 30 Work in Process Inventory=$11,200
May 31 Work in Process Inventory =$5,000+$ 4,700+$5,600+$7,000
May 31 Work in Process Inventory =$22,300
June 30 Work in Process Inventory= $7,000 + $4,100
June 30 Work in Process Inventory= $11,100
Therefore the balance in Work in Process Inventory at the end of each month will be :
April 30 Work in Process Inventory $11,200
May 31 Work in Process Inventory $22,300
June 30 Work in Process Inventory $11,100

Koch traded Machine 1 for Machine 2 when the fair market value of both machines was $49,750. Koch originally purchased Machine 1 for $75,500, and Machine 1's adjusted basis was $40,250 at the time of the exchange. Machine 2's seller purchased it for $64,750 and Machine 2's adjusted basis was $55,250 at the time of the exchange. What is Koch's adjusted basis in machine 2 after the exchange
Answer:
machine 2 45,000
acc depreciation mchine 1 35,000
machine 1 75,000
The seller valuation are not relevant the important is the fair value. Which is 50,000.
If there was commercial substance we will recognize a gain for 5,000
(50,000 fair value - 45,000 book value)
However, we are not given with information of commercial substance, so we should not recognize any gain or loss in trade.
The machine 2 will enter the accounting for the same value as the previous machine net book.
Explanation:
Consider a firm with an EBIT of $11,400,000. The firm finances its assets with $51,800,000 debt (costing 7.4 percent) and 10,900,000 shares of stock selling at $8.00 per share. The firm is considering increasing its debt by $25,000,000, using the proceeds to buy back shares of stock. The firm is in the 30 percent tax bracket. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain at $11,400,000. Calculate the EPS before and after the change in capital structure and indicate changes in EPS. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares
EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares
Difference = $ 0.029
Explanation:
Calculation of EPS before the change in capital structure :
Particulars Amount
EBIT $ 11,400,000
Interest Cost $ 3,833,200 (51,800,000×7.4%)
Earning After Interest $ 7,566,800
Tax ( 30% ) $ 2,270,040
Net Profit after tax $ 5,296,760
Number of Shares outstanding $ 10,900,000
Earning Per Shares $0.486
Calculation of EPS after the change in capital structure :
Particulars Amount
EBIT $ 11,400,000
Interest Cost $ 5,683,200
( $ 76,800,000×7.4%)
Earning After Interest $ 5,716,800
Tax ( 30%) $ 1,715,040
Net Profit after tax $40,01,760
Number of Shares outstanding 77,75,000
Earning Per Shares $0.515
∴ we get
EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares
EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares
Difference = $ 0.486 - 0.515 = $ 0.029

Explanation:
The effects of transactions on the accounting equation of assets = liabilities + equity demonstrates that each transaction affects two accounts and makes the equation to remain in balance.
Treasury Stock Facts Target Inc. arranged to purchase a large block of its common stock from a major shareholder. The total number of shares purchased is 10,000 and these shares are to be held as treasury shares. Target Inc. uses the cost method to account for treasury shares. This shareholder had a controlling interest before the transaction. After the transaction this shareholder no longer has a controlling interest. Given these facts, to induce the shareholder to sell the block of stock Target Inc. was forced to pay an amount in excess of the current market price of the stock. Target Inc. paid the shareholder $40 per share when the market price was $30 per share.Question How should Target Inc. account for the purchase of this treasury stock?a. Provide a brief written description of the proper accounting treatment, including how the extra $10 paid per share is recorded.b. Prepare a formal journal entry to record the treasury stock transaction.c. Identify the specific paragraph of the FASB Codification which addresses this issue.
Answer:
Target Inc.
a. Under the cost method, as adopted by Target Inc., the cost of acquiring the treasury stock is debited to the Treasury Stock account and credited to the Cash account. This means that there is no differentiation of the extra $10 just as there is no differentiation between the par-value and the cost of acquiring each share.
b. Journal Entry:
Debit Treasury Stock $40,000
Credit Cash $40,000
To record the repurchase of 10,000 shares at $40 each.
c. The FASB Codification which addresses Treasury Stock accounting is called Codification Topic 505-30. The cost of treasury stock is reported separately from the gain or loss.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total number of shares purchased = 10,000
Price paid for the purchase = $40
Market price of the share = $30
Extra cost paid = $10
b) Two methods are adopted for recording treasury stock. There is the par-value method. This method records the treasury stock at the par value multiplied by the number of treasury stock. The difference in the purchase cost and the par-value is then recorded in the Additional Paid-in Capital account. The other method is the cost method. Here, the cost of acquiring the treasury stock (not the par-value) is recorded in the Treasury Stock account, with a credit entry to the Cash account. Treasury Stock account is a contrary account to the stockholders' equity, and as a result, is a deduction from the amounts in the Stockholders' Equity in the balance sheet, in both cases.
I. Prepare a journal entry.
(a) Stockholder invests $15,000 into the business.
(b) Company borrows $15,000 signing a note payable to the bank that is due in three months.
(c) Receives and pays for a $10,000 truck and $5,000 of equipment.
