Answer:
Dividends paid= $227,500
Explanation:
The dividend paid during the year 2019 would be the determined by sum of the opening balance of retained earnings and net income and less the closing balance of retained earnings.
Dividends paid = Retained earnings at the beginning + net income - retained earnings at the end.
Note that the payment of dividends would reduce the amount of retained earnings balance
Dividends paid = 537,500 + 135,000 - 445,000= 227,500
Dividends paid= $227,500
A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable$363,000debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 580debit Net Sales 808,000credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 0.6% of net credit sales are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Answer:
$4,848 will be the amount that should be debited to Bad debts expense when the adjusting entry is being prepared for the year end.
Explanation:
Since the company uses percentage of sales method for calculating bad debt, it therefore means that the bad debt expense for the year will not be charged from the opening balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts but will be charged as Net credit sales × percentage of uncollectible from credit sales.
Therefore, bad debt for the period is charged as Net credit sales × Percentage of uncollectible from credit sales
= $808,000 × 0.6%
= $4,848
Therefore, the adjusting entry for bad debt expenses at year end is;
Bad debt expense Dr $4,848
Allowance for uncollectible accounts Cr $4,848
g on january 1 playa company acquires 90 percent ownership in seaside corporation for 180,000 the fair value of noncontrolling interest what will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported
The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
On January 1, Playa Company acquires 90 percent ownership in Seaside Corporation for $180,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that time is determined to be $20,000. Seaside reports net assets with a book value of $200,000 and fair value of $200,000. Playa Company reports net assets with a book value of $480,000 and a fair value of $525,000 at that time, excluding its investment in Seaside. What will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported immediately after the combination?
Answer:
$680,000
Explanation:
Since Playa Company owns 90% of Seaside Corporation, it is considered Seaside's parent company and it must include all of Seaside's assets when it presents its consolidated balance sheet.
Total net assets reported = $480,000 (Playa's net assets at book value) + $200,000 (Seaside's net assets) = $680,000

You have been appointed to lead an existing group. Your boss, who informed you of the assignment, made these comments: "These people have some real issues. They have been a problem for years. They stick together like family but never seem to get much work done." Which of these would best describe this group?
Answer:
This is a group that can be defined by its high cohesiviness and low performance norms.
Explanation:
In this case, the new leader must focus on solving this problem that already exists where team members have high cohesion, but who have a low performance with regard to compliance with internal rules and procedures.
The ideal in this case would be for the leader to review the set of company policies and standards and seek to establish new rules and procedures for living and working together.
Having a cohesive team is not a weakness for an organization, the ideal is to know how to exploit the potential of each member of that team, so that each one delivers to the company an effective job that contributes to the achievement of the objectives and organizational goals.
The manager can also invest in training, redesigning the layout of work and tasks, setting deadlines for completing activities, delivering warnings to ward off inappropriate behavior during working hours, etc.
In 1985, a given Japanese imported automobile sold for 1,476,000 yen, or $8,200. If the car still sold for the same amount of yen today but the current exchange rate is 144 yen per dollar, what would the car be selling for today in U.S. dollars?
Answer:
The car will be selling for $10250 today
Explanation:
To calculate the selling price of the car in dollars today, we have to convert the value of 1476000 yen into dollars based on the exchange rate between dollars and yen today. It is known that the car will be sold for the same amount of yen today for which it was sold in 1985 and this amount is 1476000 yen.
We know that 1 dollar equals 144 yen.
Thus, let x be the number of dollars that equal 1476000 yen today.
x = 1476000 / 144
x = $10250
The car will be sold for $10250 today
The agent of a broker-dealer registered in State A, sells unregistered non-exempt securities to customers in State A. These customers lose a substantial sum of money on the investment. Which statement is TRUE
Answer:
The clients may initiate a civil lawsuit to recover their losses

These 3 damages are only applicable to insider trading.
Consumerism is described as activities undertaken by independent individuals, groups, and organizations to protect their rights as consumers.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This alternative is true, as consumerism can be defined as a phenomenon that is positive for economic growth to occur, because through the increase in the consumption of goods and services, companies benefit from increased sales, revenues and profits while consumers benefit from the utilities and benefits of the consumer goods they purchase.
Therefore, consumerism is seen as a phenomenon that strengthens the capitalist economy, as consumer spending accounts for most of the GDP and aggregate demand, factors essential to economic growth.
Home equity line interest. Sean and Amy Anderson have a home with an appraised value of $180,000 and a mortgage balance of only $90,000. Given that an S&L is willing to lend money at a loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, how big a home equity credit line can Sean and Amy obtain? How much, if any, of this line would qualify as tax-deductible interest if their house originally cost $100,000?
Answer:
$135,000
$75,000
Explanation:
Home value = $180,000
Loan to Value ratio = 75%
Formula: Maximum loan amount = Home value x loan to value ratio
Maximum loan amount = $180,000 x 75%
Maximum loan amount = $135,000
If the value of house is $100,000 then,
$100,000 x 75% = $75,000
$75,000 would qualify as Tax deductible interest

tock is trading at $100 and you buy a put option on it with one year to expiration and a strike price of $110. The put premium is $15. What is the maximum profit you can make on this put option if you wait until expiration
Answer:
The answer is -$5
Explanation:
A put option gives its owner/holder the right but not the obligation to sell. The holder of a put option is expecting the price of the underlying asset(stock) to drop.
The formula is:
Profit = max(0, X - St) - P
where X is the strike or exercise price
St is the market value or the spot price of the underlying asset
P is the premium
max(0, $110 - $100) - $15
10 - $15
-$5

On December 31, 2021, Coolwear Inc. had balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $44,000 and $1,300, respectively. During 2022, Coolwear wrote off $775 in accounts receivable and determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $4,100 at December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense for 2022 would be:
Answer: $3,575
Explanation:
Opening balance for Allowance for Noncollectable Accounts for 2022 is closing balance for 2021 = $1,300.
Cool wear wrote off $775 during the year which would come out of the allowance;
= 1,300 - 775
= $525
An allowance of $4,100 was determined for the year which means that the Bad debt expense is the difference between the determined allowance and the current balance because this is the amount that the account had to be increased by to cater for the bad debt expense.
= 4,100 - 525
= $3,575
Which of the following statements best describes how a change in a firm’s stock price would affect a stock’s capital gains yield? The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has a direct relationship with the firm’s expected future stock price. The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has an inverse relationship with the firm’s expected future stock price.
Answer: The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has a direct relationship with the firm’s expected future stock price.
Explanation:
The Capital Gains on a security refers to the increase in the price of the security from the cost that it was bought at. The Yield can therefore be calculated by dividing the difference between the Security Price now and the Security Price at cost by the Security Price at Cost.
If the price is higher than the cost, that is a Capital Gain. The reverse is a loss.
Therefore, a Company's future stock price is directly related to the Capital Gains Yield of an investor who is already holding the stock. If the future price increases, the Capital Gains Yield on that stock will go up. The reverse is true.
You can determine a company’s cash situation by analyzing the cash flow statement. The cash flow statement also helps determine whether the company (1) is generating enough cash from its operations to make new investments and pay dividends or (2) will need to generate cash by issuing new debt or selling its assets.
Which of the following is true for the statement of cash flows?
a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period.
b. It reflects revenues when earned.
Answer: a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period
Explanation:
The Cash flow statement is very important and is useful to various stakeholders in a company with the most important being the Company Management itself and Creditors.
Management are able to use the Cash flow statement to see how much actual cash was spent in the year as well as how much was used. This is important because the Income statement contains entries that might show revenue that have not being received or expenses such as depreciation that did not impact the actual cash the company has. The Cash flow statement fixes this by showing those actual figures thus enabling the company to plan better.
It is also useful to Creditors so that they see if a company is able to pay them for the period.

Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $58,500 and if direct materials are $29,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
$71,500
Explanation:
The computation of manufacturing overhead is shown below:-
We assume conversion cost = x
Conversion cost = Labor cost + manufacturing overhead
x = $58,500 + 0.55x
x = $58,500 ÷ 0.45
= $130,000
Now the manufacturing overhead is
= Conversion cost × maufacturing overhead percentage
= $130,000 × 55%
= $71,500
We simply applied the above formula
the pure expectations theory holds, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The maturity risk premium would be zero. b. The yield curve for Treasury securities would be flat, but the yield curve for corporate securities might be downward sloping. c. If 2-year bonds yield more than 1-year bonds, an investor with a 2-year time horizon would almost certainly end up with more money if he or she bought 2-year bonds. d. The yield curve for both Treasury and corporate bonds should be flat. e. The yield curve for Treasury securities cannot be downward sloping.
Answer: The Maturity Risk Premium would be zero.
Explanation:
The Pure Expectations Theory believes that forward rates are just a representation of what people expect Future rates to be.
For this reason therefore, it believed that the Maturity Premium is Zero amongst Long Term Treasury Securities and that the difference in interest rates attached to Treasury bonds of different maturities is simply a result of what people perceive future interest rates to look like but as for Maturity Premiums, it doesn't exist in long term Treasury Securities.
Microsoft and a smaller rival often have to select from one of two competing technologies, A and B. The rival always prefers to select the same technology as Microsoft (because compatibility is important), while Microsoft always wants to select a different technology from its rival. If the two companies select different technologies, Microsoft's payoff is 4 units of utility, while the small rival suffers a loss of utility of 2. If the two companies select the same technology, Microsoft suffers a loss of utility of 2 while the rival gains 2 units of utility.

Job-Order Costing and Decision Making [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3]
Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 225,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 4,275,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00
Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,700. The following information was available with respect to this job:
Direct materials 1,702
Direct labor cost $ 1,221
Machine-hours used 84
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answer:
a. $21 per machine hours
b. $4,855
Explanation:
a. The computation of the plantwide predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead cost rate per machine hour + Fixed overhead cost rate per machine hour
= $2 + (fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours)
= $2 + ($4,275,000 ÷ 225,000 machine hours)
= $2 + $19
= $21 per machine hour
b. Now the total manufacturing cost assigned is
Particulars Amount
Direct material $1,702
Direct labor $1,221
Variable manufacturing overhead $168
(84 × $2)
Total variable cost $3,091
Add:
Fixed manufacturing overhead
(84 × $21) $1,764
Total manufacturing cost assigned
to Job P90 $4,855
A customer purchases $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account. The customer must deposit:
Answer:
$16,000
Explanation:
Computation of what the customer must deposit for purchasing $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account
Since the minimum maintenance is the standard that is set by FINRA is the greater of 7% of the face amount or 20% of the market value.
Hence,
The bonds are purchased at 80% of $100,000 par, thus the first step is to find the 80% of $100,000. Calculated as :
80%×$100,000= $80,000
Second step is to find the 20% of $80,000 which is calculated as:
20% ×$80,000 = $16,000.
Third step is to find the 7% of $100,000, calculated as:
7% of $100,000 face = $7,000.
Based on the above calculation the greater amount is $16,000 which means that the customer must deposit the amount of $16,000 which is the greater amount.

YellowCard Company manufactures accessories for iPods. It had the following selected transactions during 2017. (Note: For any part of this problem requiring an interest or discount rate, use 10%.)
1. YellowCard provides a 2-year warranty on its docking stations, which it began selling in 2017. During 2017, YellowCard spent $6,000 servicing warranty claims. At year-end, YellowCard estimates that an additional $45,000 will be spent in the future to service warranties related to 2017 sales.
2. YellowCard has a $200,000 loan outstanding from First Trust Corp. The loan is set to mature on February 28, 2018. For several years, First Trust has agreed to extend the loan, as long as YellowCard makes all its quarterly interest payments (interest is due on the last days of each February, May, August, and November) and maintains an acid-test ratio (also called "quick ratio") of at least 1.25. First Trust has provided YellowCard a "commitment letter" indicating that First Trust will extend the loan another 12 months, providing YellowCard makes the interest payment due on March 31.
3. During 2016, YellowCard constructed a small manufacturing facility specifically to manufacture one particular accessory. YellowCard paid the construction contractor $5,000,000 cash (which was the total contract price) and placed the facility into service on January 1, 2017. Because of technological change, YellowCard anticipates that the manufacturing facility will be useful for no more than 10 years. The local government where the facility is located required that, at the end of the 10-year period, YellowCard remediate the facility so that it can be used as a community center. YellowCard estimates the cost of remediation to be $500,000.

Answer:
warrant expense 51,000 debit
cash 6,000 credit
warranty liability 45,000 credit
--to record warrant-related accounts--
interest payable 16,667 debit
interest expense 3,333 debit
cash 20,000 credit
--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--
Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772 debit
Cash 5,000,000 credit
Restoration Liability 192,772 credit
-- to record the payment to contractor--
Explanation:
Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility
Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th
That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable
At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest
200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense
in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay
Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:
As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:
present value of the 500,000 in ten years:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity $500,000.00
time 10.00
rate 0.10000
[tex]\frac{500000}{(1 + 0.1)^{10} } = PV[/tex]
PV 192,771.6447
Total cost:
5,000,000 cashg + 192,772 liability = 5,192,772
