Question Completion:
Journalize the adjusting entry.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31:
Debit Advertising Expense $50,000
Credit Prepaid Advertising $50,000
To record the advertising expense for the year (1 month's).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 1: Prepaid Advertising for 4 months = $200,000
Advertising expense for the year (1 month) = $50,000 ($200,000/4 months)
Balance of Prepaid Advertising for 3 months = $150,000 ($200,000 *3/4)
b) The Adjusting Journal entry recognizes the advertising expense that relates to the year and carry forward the prepaid balance to the next accounting year. Expenses and revenue are recorded when the services are consumed or rendered and not when cash is exchanged. In this case, the $200,000 is not recognized as advertising expense for the current year. Instead, only $50,000 is recorded as expense. The balance of $150,000 is carried forward to the next year when the service will be consumed.
A refrigerator costs $800 on an installment plan that requires a down payment of $140 and monthly payments for 12 months. What are the monthly payments of the plan?
Magazine sells subscriptions for $60 for 30 issues. The company collects cash in advance and then mails out the magazines to subscribers each month. Apply the revenue recognition principle to determine a. when Seacoast Magazine should record revenue for this situation. b. the amount of revenue Seacoast Magazine should record for five issues.
Answer:
a. Revenue is earned when when service or product are delivered to client. Thus Seacoast Magazine should recognize the revenue when it mails the magazines to its subscribers.
b. Total amount received is $60 for 30 issues.
Amount for 1 issues = Total cost / Number of issues of magazines = $60/30 = $2 per issue
Amount of 5 issues = $2 * 5 = $10
Therefore, Seacoast Magazine should record revenue $10 for 5 issues.
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond
Solution :
Assuming that the bond amount is $100,000.
After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:
= 100,000 x 4.5%
= $ 4500
After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :
= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)
= $ 4451
Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.
When developing baseline standards, it is vital to use industry best practices. Industry best practices standards enable one to justify choices being made to regulators. Furthermore, there is increased efficiency to be gained by modifying an existing standard as opposed to creating one from the ground up.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
A baseline may be defined as the minimum amount of security that a network, a device or a system must adhere to. They are generally mapped to the industry standards. It is applied to the several layers of the IT infrastructure of an organization.
When developing them, it is very important to make use of the industry best practices. It enables to justify the choices that are being made to the regulators.
Hence the answer is true.
The bonds in our model have a maturity close to zero; they just pay the current interest rate, i, as a flow over time. We could consider, instead, a discount bond, such as a U.S. Treasury Bill. This type of asset has no explicit interest payments (called coupons) but pays a principal of, say, $1000 at a fixed date in the future. A Bill with one- year maturity pays off one year from the issue date, and similarly for 3-month or 6-month Bills. Let PB be the price of a discount bond with one-year maturity and principal of $1000. a. Is PB greater than or less than $1000.
a. Is P^B greater than or less than $1000?
b. What is the one-year interest rate on these discount bonds?
c. If prises, what happens to the interest rate on these bonds?
d. Suppose that, instead of paying $1000 in one year, the bond pays $1000 in two years. What is the interest rate per year on this two-year discount bond?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Part a.
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] will be less than $1000.
Reason: [tex]P^{B}[/tex] + interest = $1000, since interest >0 (Cannot be negative)
Hence,
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] < $1000
Part b.
Assuming the amount of interest to be i, [tex]P^{B}[/tex] would be $1000 - I
Rate of interest would be:
($1000 - ($1000-i)) / ($1000 - i) = i / ($1000 - i)
Rate of interest = i / ($1000 - i)
Part c.
If [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, the interest rate on these bonds would come down. Going back to a. [tex]P^{B}[/tex] = $1000 - i, and if [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, it implies that i reduces, which means that rate of interest will be reduced.
Part d.
If $1000 is a payment two years later, it implies that i (refer to b.) is the interest for two years. Assuming annual compounding, let's calculate rate of interest as follows:
Interest for two year (i) = $1000 - [tex]P^{B}[/tex] at the rate of i per year
= [tex]P^{B}[/tex] X i / 100 + ([tex]P^{B}[/tex] X (1+i/100))X i/100
We can solve for i to get annual rate of interest.

On January 1, Year 1, a contractor began work on a $3.2 million construction contract that is expected to be completed in 3 years. The contractor concludes that it is appropriate to recognize revenue over time using the input method based on costs incurred (cost-to-cost method). At the inception date, the estimated cost of construction was $2.4 million. The following data relate to the actual and expected construction costs:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Costs incurred $720,000 $1,170,000 $1,110,000
Expected future costs $1,680,000 $810,000 $0
For this long-term construction contract, the contractor needs to calculate the estimated dollar values of the revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized each year. Complete the contractor's long-term construction contract using the information above. Write the appropriate amounts in the associated cells. Indicate losses by using a leading minus (-) sign. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. If no entry is necessary, enter a zero (0).

If producing 200 buttons and 200 safety pins
daily is a 50% split of resources, where do we
see the opportunity cost if you decide to
produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins?
A. The opportunity cost is still at 50%.
B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
C. The opportunity cost is in the inefficiency of producing to
products.
D. The opportunity cost is in the market share for buttons.
Answer:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Explanation:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Reason -
Initially we produce 200 buttons and 200 safety pins and there are 50% split of resources.
Now, If we produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins and there is no change in the split of resources, then
The opportunity cost of extra 100 buttons is sale amount we would have been getting if we make that 100 safety pins.
An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $17. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $10,000. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be:
Answer:
C. a $10,000 decrease.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the effect on income would be
First step is to calculate Make
Make=$100,000 + $160,000 + $60,000
Make = $320,000
Second step is to calculate Buy
Buy= $20,000 × $17 = $340,000 – $10,000
Buy = $330,000
Now let calculate the effect on income
Effect on income = $320,000 – $330,00
Effect on income = –$10,000 decrease
Therefore the effect on income would be –$10,000 decrease

The following information is available for the adjusting entries. Accrued interest on the notes payable at year-end amounted to $4,000 and will be paid January 1, 2022. Accrued salaries at year-end amounted to $3,000 and will be paid on January 5, 2022. Supplies remaining on hand at the end of the year equal $3,800. Problem 3-9B Part 9 9. Record closing entries.
Question Completion:
Assume that Supplies were purchased during the year worth $13,000.
Record the adjusting entries.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entries on December 31, 2021:
Debit Interest Expense $4,000
Credit Interest payable $4,000
To record the accrued interest on the notes payable.
Debit Salaries Expense $3,000
Credit Salaries payable $3,000
To record the accrued salaries at year end.
Debit Supplies Expense $9,200
Credit Supplies $9,200
To record supplies expense for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Supplies purchased = $13,000
Supplies at year-end = 3,800
Supplies consumed = $9,200 ($13,000 - $3,800)
b) Adjusting entries are journal entries done at the end of a financial period to ensure that expenses and revenues are matched to the period they occur instead of when cash is exchanged. This accords with the accrual concept and the matching principle of accounting.
An economic profit includes implicit costs and accounting profit does not. A distinction between them is important because an accounting profit is a relative amount of money. Some amount of accounting profit may or may not be a sufficient amount of profit to keep an entrepreneur in:________
Answer:
his/ her present line of business
Explanation:
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost
Accounting cost is total revenue less explicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Explicit cost is the actual cost incurred in carrying out an activity.
In determining profit, it is essential to consider implicit cost to determine if the business is earning economic profit
Kara files her income tax return 64 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS. Along with the return, she remits a check for $15,400, which is the balance of the tax she owes. Note: Assume 30 days in a month.
Required:
Disregarding the interest element, enter Kara's penalty amount for each, failure to file and failure to pay.
Failure to pay________$
Failure to file________$
Answer:
failure to file :$2079
failure to pay:$231
Explanation:
given data
remits a check = $15,400
days in a month = 30
return = 64 days
solution
computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to pay
failure to pay will be
failure to pay = 0.5% of tax owed × number of months .......................1
failure to pay = 0.5% × $15400 × 3
failure to pay = $231
and
Computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to file
failure to file will be
failure to file = (5% of tax owed × number of months or part thereof) - failure to pay penalty .......................2
failure to file = (5% × $15400 × 3) - $231
failure to file = $2310 - $231
failure to file = $2079
As part of its commitment to quality, the J. J. Borden manufacturing company is proposing to introduce just-in-time (JIT) production methods. Managers of the company have an intuitive feel regarding the financial benefits associated with a change to JIT, but they would like to have some data to inform their decision making in this regard. You are provided with the following data:
Item ExistingSituation AfterAdopting JIT
Manufacturing costs as percentage of sales:
Product-level support 15 % 4 %
Variable manufacturing overhead 28 10
Direct materials 30 20
Direct manufacturing labor 20 13
Other financial data:
Sales revenue $ 1,430,000 $ 1,810,000
Inventory of WIP 260,000 46,000
Other data:
Manufacturing cycle time 60 days 30 days
Inventory financing costs (per annum) 10 % 10 %
Required:
As the management accountant for the company, prepare an estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT. Specifically, what is the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation?
Answer:
A. $74,100 $954,700
B. $880,600
Explanation:
A. Preparation to estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT
Current situation After JIT
Sales 1,430,000 1,810,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500 72,400
(15%*1,430,000=214,500)
(4%*1,810,000=72,400)
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 181,000
(28%*1,430,000=400,400)
(10%*1,810,000=181,000)
Direct material 429,000 362,000
(30%*1,430,000=429,000)
(20%*1,810,000=362,000)
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000 235,300
(20%*1,430,000=286,000)
(13%*1,810,000=235,300)
Inventory financing costs 26,000 4,600
(10%*260,000=26,000)
(10%*46,000=4,600)
Total costs 1,355,900 855,300
Operating profits $74,100 $954,700
(1,430,000-1,355,900)
(1,810,000-855,300)
Therefore the the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT will be $74,100 $954,700
B. Preparation for the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation
Current situation After JIT Change
Sales 1,430,000-1,810,000=-380,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500-72,400 =142,100
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 -181,000=219,400
Direct material 429,000-362,000=67,000
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000- 235,300= 50,700
Inventory financing costs 26,000-4,600 =21,400
Total costs 1,355,900-855,300=500,600
Operating profits 74,100-954,700=880,600
Therefore the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation will be 880,600
Avery Corporation's target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equity. The interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost of common from reinvested earnings is 11.25%, and the tax rate is 25%. The firm will not be issuing any new common stock. What is Avery's WACC
Answer:
8.15%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital as follows;
= After Cost of debt × weightage of debt + cost of preferred stock × weight of preferred stock + cost of common equity × weight of equity
= 6.50% × (1 - 0.40) × 35 ÷ 100 + 6% × 10 ÷ 100 + 11.25% × 55 ÷ 100
= 1.37% + 0.60% + 6.19%
= 8.15%
Starbucks opened its first store in Seoul, Korea in October 2002. The price of a tall vanilla latte is 3,000 Korean Won. In New York City, the price of a tall vanilla latte is $3.00. The exchange rate between Korean Won and U.S. dollars is Won 1,150/$. According to purchasing power parity, is the Korean Won overvalued or undervalued
Answer:
The Korean Won is undervalued
Explanation:
The Korean Won is undervalued if we determine this measure by comparing the prices of the vanilla latte at a Korean Starbucks and at an American Starbucks.
If purchasing power parity was perfectly equal, the latte at the Seoul Starbucks would be priced at $3,450, because the exchange rate is 1,150/$ and $3 x 1,1150 = 3,450, $3 being the price of the latte in New York City.
We can see that the latte in Seoul only costs 3,000 Won, so, under this comparison, the Won is undervalued by 450 Won.

Each $1,000 Convertible Bond is convertible into 80 shares of Common Stock. The Net Income for 2021 was $1,600,000 and the income tax rate was 30%.
Calculate basic earning per year of common stock for the year ended January1 31, 2104.
If company's preferred stock were convertiable into common stock what additional calculation would be required?
Answer:
a. Net income for 2021 $1,600,000
Less: Preferred dividends $120,000 (40000*$3)
Net income for Common Stockholders $1,480,000
Divide by Common Shares outstanding 600,000
Basic Earnings per share for 2021 $2.47
b. If company's preferred stock were convertible into common stock, diluted earnings per shares will also have to be calculated.
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes
The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States is defined as the market value of allfinal goods and services produced within the United States in a given period of time. Based on this definition, indicate which of the following transactions will be included in (that is, directly increase) the GDP of the United States in 2018.
a. An accountant starts a client's 2018 tax return on April 14, 2019, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2019. Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.
b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24. Rotato, a U.S. tire company, produces a set of tires at a plant in Michigan on September 13, 2018. It sells the set of tires to Speedmaster for use in the production of a two-door coupe that will be made in the United States in 2018. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether production of the set of tires increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of production of the two-door coupe on GDP.)
c. Zippycar, a U.S. automobile company, produces a convertible at a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis on January 9, 2018. It sells the car at a dealership in San Diego on February 24, 2018.
d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.

Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP
The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure
Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP
The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export
what is a down payment of 20 percent on a purchase price of $215,000
Answer:
$43,000
Explanation:
The next dividend payment by Zone, Inc., will be $2.08 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.95%
Explanation:
According to the gordon growth model,
the value of stock (price) = dividend / required return - growth rate
42 = 2.08/ r - 0.06
42(r-0.06) = 2.08
2.08/42 = r - 0.06
r = 10.95%
