a. The equipment is impaired at July 1, 2019 because its projected future cash flows of $195,000 are less than its current carrying value of $211,000.
b. The amount of the impairment loss is:
= $16,000.
c. Journal Entry to record the impairment:
July 1, 2019:
Debit Impairment Loss $16,000
Credit Equipment $16,000
To record the estimated impairment loss.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
July 1, 2015:
Purchase cost of equipment = $325,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Expected salvage value = $40,000
Depreciable amount = $285,000 ($325,000 - $40,000)
Annual depreciation expense = $28,500 ($285,000/10)
July 1, 2019:
Total accumulated depreciation = $114,000 ($28,500 * 4 years)
Carrying amount of the equipment = $211,000 ($325,000 - $114,000)
Projected future cash flows = $195,000
Difference (Impairment loss) $16,000

In its first year, Barsky Corporation made charitable contributions totaling $30,000. The corporation's taxable income before any charitable contribution deduction was $250,000. In its second year, Barsky made charitable contributions of $15,000 and earned taxable income before the contribution deduction of $300,000. Assume neither year is 2020. Required: Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its first year. Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its second year
Answer:
Year 1:
total income before charitable contributions = $250,000
limit on charitable contributions = $250,000 x 10% = $25,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $250,000 - $25,000 = $225,000
charitable contributions carried forward = $30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000
Year 2:
total income before charitable contributions = $300,000
limit on charitable contributions = $300,000 x 10% = $30,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $300,000 - $15,000 - $5,000 = $280,000
We have the following information for the Valverde company. The stock pays a $1 dividend and it will grow by 12% the first year, 9% the second year and 3% forever after that. The unlevered bheta is 1, D/E is 75/25 and the tax rate is .3. Additionally, we know the treasury bond rate is 0.04 and the ROR of the S&P has been 10%.
Required:
Derive the stock price of Valverde.
Answer:
P0 = $5.99394080634 rounded off to $5.99
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
We first need to calculate the levered beta of Valverde.
Levered Beta = Unlevered Beta * [1+ (1-tax rate) * (Debt/Equity)]
Levered Beta = 1 * [(1 + (1 - 0.3) * (75/25)]
Levered Beta = 3.1
We first need to calculate the cost of equity (r) using the CAPM equation. The equation is,
r = risk free rate + Levered Beta * (Expected return on Market - risk free rate)
We know that the risk free rate is 0.04 or 4%, the beta is 3.1 and the expected return on market is 0.1 or 10%.
r = 0.04 + 3.1 * (0.1 - 0.04)
r = 0.226 or 22.6%
Now, using the DDM equation, the price of stock will be,
P0 = 1 * (1+0.12) / (1+0.226) + 1 * (1+0.12) * (1+0.09) / (1+0.226)^2 +
[(1 * (1+0.12) * (1+0.09) * (1+0.03) / (0.226 - 0.03)) / (1+0.226)^2]
P0 = $5.99394080634 rounded off to $5.99
P0 = $99.2830 rounded off to $99.28
Tan Corporation of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 3,000,000 $ 9,000,000 Net operating income $ 210,000 $ 720,000 Average operating assets $ 1,000,000 $ 4,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 15%. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer:
Return on Investment (ROI)
In terms of margin :
Division Osaka (ROI) = 21.00 %
Division Yokohama (ROI) = 18.75%
In terms of turnover :
Division Osaka (ROI) = 300%
Division Yokohama (ROI) = 225%
Residual Income
Division Osaka = $60,000
Division Yokohama = $120,000
Explanation:
Return on Investment = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets Employed in the Division x 100
In terms of margin :
Division Osaka (ROI) = $ 210,000 / $ 1,000,000 x 100 = 21.00 %
Division Yokohama (ROI) = $ 720,000 / $ 4,000,000 x 100 = 18.75%
In terms of turnover :
Division Osaka (ROI) = $ 3,000,000 / $ 1,000,000 x 100 = 300%
Division Yokohama (ROI) = $ 9,000,000 / $ 4,000,000 x 100 = 225%
Residual Income = Controllable Profit - Cost of Capital Charge on Investment Controllable by Divisional Manager
Division Osaka = $ 210,000 - $ 1,000,000 x 15% = $60,000
Division Yokohama = $ 720,000 - $ 4,000,000 x 15% = $120,000

Less: Treasury stock (8,000 common shares) 52,800
Total stockholders’ equity $5,089,200
From a review of the stockholders’ equity section, answer the following questions.
a. How many shares of common stock are outstanding?
b. Assuming there is a stated value, what is the stated value of the common stock?
c. What is the par value of the preferred stock?
d. If the annual dividend on preferred stock is $36,000, what is the dividend rate on preferred stock?
e. If dividends of $72,000 were in arrears on preferred stock, what would be the balance reported for retained earnings?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a.
No of Common Stock Outstanding = No. of stocks issued - Treasury stock
= 580,000 shares - 8,000 shares
= 572,000 shares
b. Stated Value of Common Stock = $2,900,000 ÷ 580,000 shares
= $5 per share
c. Par Value of the Preferred Stock = $384,000 ÷ 4,800 shares
= $80 per share
d. Dividend Rate = $36,000 ÷ $384,000
= 9.375%
e. The retained earning after arrears on preferred stock would remain the same i.e. $1,858,000 as they are declared

Total current period costs $581,700
Required:
Using the weighted-average method of process costing, complete each of the following steps:
a. Reconcile the number of physical units worked on during the period.
b. Calculate the number of equivalent units.
c. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit.
d. Reconcile the Total cost of work in process.
Answer:
Part a
Reconciliation of the number of Physical units worked
INPUTS :
Beginning Inventory units 118,300
Add Started during the period 244,000
Total 362,300
OUTPUTS :
Completed and Transferred 334,900
Ending Work In Process 24,400
Total 362,300
Part b
Materials = 359,300 units
Conversion Costs = 350,760 units
Part c
Materials = $1.23
Conversion Costs = $1.93
Part d
Reconcile the Total cost of work in process.
Cost in Beginning Inventory $538,000
Add Costs During the Period $581,700
Total $1,119,700
Cost of Units Still in Process $60,622
Units Completed and Transferred $1,058,284
Total $1,118,506
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent units
These are physical units outputs (completed and transferred and units in process) expressed in terms of percentage of work completed in terms of materials and conversion costs
Materials = 334,900 + 24,400 x 100% = 359,300
Conversion Costs = 334,900 + 24,400 x 65% = 350,760
Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent unit
Cost per Equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
therefore,
Materials = ($193,000 + $249,700) ÷ 359,300 = $1.23
Conversion Costs = ($345,000 + $332 000) ÷ 350,760 = $1.93
Total Unit Cost = $1.23 + $1.93 = $3.16
Step 3 : Cost of Units Still in Process and Units Completed and Transferred
Cost of Units Still in Process = 24,400 x $1.23 + 15,860 x $1.93 = $60,622
Units Completed and Transferred = 334,900 x $3.16 = $1,058,284

On January 1, 2020, Commonwealth Inc. leases equipment to Tap Inc. The equipment has a fair value of $156,000, a carrying value of $80,000, an economic life of four years, and a lease term of three years. Commonwealth's incremental borrowing rate is 10% and there is a purchase option at the end of the lease of $10,000 that is reasonably expected to be executed by Tap at that time. The annual lease payment is $33,809.39, with the first payment due immediately on January 1, 2020. What is the amount of interest revenue recognized in 2020 by Commonwealth Inc.
Answer: $12,219
Explanation:
Interest revenue for 2020:
= Carrying value * Borrowing rate
Carrying value at end of 2020:
= Fair value - Lease payment
= 156,000 - 33,809.39
= $122,190.61
Interest = 10% * 122,190.61
= $12,219

Lower Control Limit is :
Sample mean - Standard Deviation
20.6 - 2 = 18.6
Assume the following information for Windsor Corp.
Accounts receivable (beginning balance) $139,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts (beginning balance) 11,450
Net credit sales 940,000
Collections 917,000
Write-offs of accounts receivable 5,600
Collections of accounts previously written off 1,600
Uncollectible accounts are expected to be 9% of the ending balance in accounts receivable.
Required:
Prepare the entries to record sales and collections during the period.
Answer:
To record the Sales
Dr. Account Receivables 940,000
Cr. Sales 940,000
To record the Collection
Dr. Cash 917,000
Cr. Account Receivables 917,000
Explanation:
To record the sales we need to debit the account receivables as the sales are made on credit and credit the sale to record the sale.
To record the Collection from the customers we need to debit the cash account to record the receipt of cash ab credit the account receivables to decrease the value of account receivables by the amount of collection.
Identify the type of bond based on each description given below:
a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral.
c. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates.
Answer:
a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy. SENIOR MORTGAGE BONDS.
A senior mortgage bond is one whose collateral is one or more properties. Mortgage bonds generally have priority over other types of bonds and a senior mortgage bond has priority over other mortgage bonds.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company. DEBENTURES
Debentures have no physical collateral backing them and are only back by the reputation of the company. This therefore makes them a bit high risk and so their rates are higher.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES.
Debentures have higher than normal rates so subordinated debentures will be quite risky. They command the highest rates as a result because in the event of a default, their claim on assets is last.
Suppose that Expresso and Beantown are the only two firms that sell coffee. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises:
Beantown
Advertise Doesn't Advertise
Expresso Advertise 8, 8 15, 2
Doesn't Advertise 2, 15 9, 9
For example, the upper right cell shows that if Expresso advertises and Beantown doesn't advertise, Expresso will make a profit of $15 million, and Beantown will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Expresso and Beantown are both profit-maximizing firms.
If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ ____________ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $ _________ million if Beantown does not advertise. If Expresso decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ ____________ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $_________ million if Beantown does not advertise.
Answer:
$15 Million
$8 Million
Explanation:
Payoff Matrix is as follows: Beantown
Expresso Advertise = Advertise Doesn't Advertise
(8,8) (15,2)
Doesn't Advertise (2,15) (9,9)
If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $2 million if Beantown
advertises, it follows the strategy (Advertise, Advertise)
He earns a profit of $15 million if Beantown does not Advertise, here it follows the strategy (Advertise, Doesn't Advertise).
"Bad news," thought Sloan Simpkins. "At our mid-year financial review meeting, I will be the only division president with year-to-date results that are disappointing. That means that the CEO and CFO will be concentrating their attention on me." If Sloan is correct in his thinking, the CEO and CFO will use _____________ to enhance control by concentrating on significant deviations from the expected results.
Answer:
The principle of exception
Explanation:
The principle of exception is a style of management or supervision that focuses on results that deviates from normal expectations.
One major advantage of this style is that it ensures efficiency in the workplace.
These deviations can either be positive or negative, and as they come to the attention of the supervisor he can give reward or sanctions as the case applies.
In the given instance where the CEO and CFO will be concentrating on Sloan because he is the only division president with year-to-date results that are disappointing.
Blue Point Company is formulating its marketing expense budget for the month of September. Sales in units for August amounted to 4,000; sales volume in September is expected to increase by 10%. So far for the current year, fixed marketing expense per month amounted to $5,000 of salaries and $1,500 of depreciation. Variable marketing expense amount to $.15 paid in cash in the month of sale. What is the estimated cash payment for marketing expense in the month of September
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Computation of estimated cash payment expense is seen below
Variable expenses
Sales in unit for August 4,000
Sales in unit September 4,000 × 110% = 4,400
Total variable expense 4,400 × $0.15 = $660
Fixed expense per quarter
Salaries $5,000 × 3 = $15,000
Depreciation $1,500 × 3 = $4,500
Total = $19,500
Budget total = $20,160
Estimated cash payment = $20,160 - $4,500 = $15,660
The Baldwin Company has just purchased $40,900,000 of plant and equipment that has an estimated useful life of 15 years. Suppose at the end of 15 years this plant and equipment can be salvaged for $4,090,000 (1/10th of its original cost). What will be the book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use
Answer:
$38,446,000
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period the asset is in used in the business
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
therefore,
Depreciation expense = $2,454,000
Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
therefore for first year,
Book Value = $40,900,000 - $2,454,000 = $38,446,000
Conclusion
The book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use is $38,446,000

Evan phoned his representative when he received his most recent statement on his deferred annuity. Evan is 65 and purchased the fixed annuity seven years ago to be a conservative part of his portfolio. Evan has read and heard a lot about how the market is beginning to take off and that variable annuities have considerable growth potential. He wants to get out of the fixed annuity and purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return. The representative should:
Answer: Review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs
Explanation:
The options include:
A. Recommend that Evan consider an exchange into a variable life insurance policy because it has growth potential with a death benefit.
B. Recommend that Evan surrender the annuity and invest in bond mutual funds because they work similar and cost less.
C. Review Evan’s investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
D. Update his investor profile factors and risk tolerance, and discuss with Evan the long term focus of a variable annuity and how it will outperform the fixed annuity within the first couple of years.
Based on the information given in the question, the best thing that the representative should do will be to review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
When Evan's investor profile factors is checked, then the representative can then inform Evans about the appropriate thing to do and if it's appropriate for him to purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return.
Going ahead by getting out of the fixed annuity and purchasing a variable annuity without reviewing Evan's investor's profile isn't appropriate.

You are 25 years old and are considering full-time study for an MBA degree. Tuition and other direct costs will be $60,000 per year for two years. In addition, you will have to give up your current job that has a salary of $50,000 per year. Assume tuition is paid and salary received at the end of each year. By how much does your salary have to increase (in real terms) as a result of getting your MBA degree to justify the investment? Assume a real interest rate of 2% per year, ignore taxes, assume that the salaries for both jobs increase at the rate of inflation (i.e. they stay constant in real terms), and that you retire at 65. Note: the $1 for T periods annuity formula is (1/r)*[1-1/(1+r)^T]. g
Answer:
$8,403.73
Explanation:
The job will be started at the age of 27 ( 25 years + 2 years ) and retirement will be at the age of 65.
Hence the employment years are 38 years ( 65- 27 ).
Cost of MBA program = Direct cost + Opportunity cost = $60,000 + $50,000 = $110,000
At the age of 27, the total cost of the program will be
Total Cost of MBA program = Cost of program in first year + Cost of program in last year = $110,000 + ( $110,000 x ( 1 + 2% ) ) = $110,000 + $112,200 = $222,200
Use the following formula to calculate teh required salary
Calculate the annuity factor
Annuity factor = (1/r)*[1-1/(1+r)^T] = (1/2%)*[1-1/(1+2%)^38] = 26.440640602064
Now use the following formula to calculate the required salary
Required salary = Total cost of MBA program / Annuity factor for 38 years at 2% = $222,200 / 26.440640602064 = $8,403.73

Jeremy Ortiz is an employee of Insulor Flooring, where his job responsibilities include selling service contracts to customers. Jeremy is single with two withholding allowances. He receives an annual salary of $36,000 and receives a 3 percent commission on all sales. During the semimonthly pay period ending September 29, 20XX, Jeremy sold $20,000 of service contracts.
Required:
Complete the payroll register for the September 29 pay period.
Answer:
Pay recorded for September 29 is $2,100
Explanation:
Jeremy Ortiz is paid based on two sources of income. The first being the annual salary of $36,000 and the second is the commission on all the service contracts sold, which is 3%.
Since the pay period is of semimonthly (15 days), the annual salary would be divided by 24 instead of the regular 12 months. This would mean that salary of $1,500 ($36,000 / 24) would be recorded in the payroll register.
For the commission, the sales done during this semimonthly period was $20,000 of service contracts. The commission at 3% of all sales would be $600 ($20,000 x 3%).
Total pay recorded in the payroll register for the September 29 period would be $2,100 ($1,500 + $600).

Total inventories at FIFO 14,275 16,362
Less LIFO allowance (1,233) (1,423)
Total automotive and other inventories, less allowances $13,042 $14,939
The company reports its inventory using the LIFO costing method during 2007 and 2008.
Required:
a. At what dollar amount are inventories reported on its 2008 balance sheet?
b. At what dollar amount would inventories have been reported in 2008 if FIFO inventory costing had been used?
Answer:
General Motors Corporation
a) Inventories are reported on its 2008 balance sheet at $13,042.
b) Inventories would have been reported on its 2008 balance sheet at $14,275 if FIFO inventory costing had been used.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Inventories at December 31 ($ millions) 2008 2007
Productive material, work in process, and supplies $4,849 $6,267
Finished product, service parts, etc. 9,426 10,095
Total inventories at FIFO 14,275 16,362
Less LIFO allowance (1,233) (1,423)
Total automotive and other inventories, less allowances $13,042 $14,939
b) LIFO = Last-in, First-out. This inventory method assumes that items that were brought into the store last were the first to be sold. This presupposes that the cost of goods sold will be determined by the most recent items, while the ending inventory will be determined by the latter items.
c) FIFO = First-in, First-out: This is the opposite of LIFO. The inventory method assumes that items that were bought first would be the first to be sold. This method presupposes that the cost of goods sold will be determined by the first items in store, while the ending inventory will be determined by the cost of the most items.

Andrew is deciding whether to remain in the home he has lived in for the past ten years, which is located very near his work, or to move into a newer home that is located in the suburbs farther from his job. The old house was purchased for $160,000 and has a market value of $220,000. The new home can be purchased for $285,000. Which of the following is not relevant to Andrew's decision?
a. Driving distance to work
b. Cost of the old house
c. Market value of the old house
d. Cost of the new house
Answer:
The decision that is not relevant to Andrew is:
b. Cost of the old house.
Explanation:
a) The cost of the old house ($160,000) is not relevant to Andrew decision challenges. It is a sunk or past cost. Past costs are not relevant because they do not make a difference in the decision or the alternative to choose. Since Andrew will be impacted by the driving distance to work from his new house, the market value of the old house, and the cost of the new house, these are relevant in Andrew's decision.
