To record the declaration of a $0.10 per share cash dividend on 29,800 common stock shares outstanding
b. Retained Earnings Statement for the year ended December 31, 2016:
Retained Earnings b/f $161,000
Dividends (stock) (15,000)
Dividends (cash) (2,980)
Ending balance
c. Stockholders' Equity Section of the Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016:
Paid-in Capital:
Common Stock—$10 Par Value; 350,000 shares
authorized, 31,500 shares issued and outstanding : $315,000
Treasury Stock, 1,700 shares (17,000)
Paid-ln Capital in Excess of Par—Common 281,100
Total Paid-in Capital 579,100
Retained Earnings 143,020
Total Stockholders' Equity $722,120
Explanation:
a) Stock Dividend: 5% of stock outstanding was 1,500 (30,000 x 5%). The effect of the stock dividend is to increase the Common Stock shares from 30,000 to 31,500 shares. This is also reflected in the Common Stock account at the par value of $10, totalling $15,000 (1,500 x $10). This is because the market value of $27 per share does not involve any cash flows for the entity, but an inflow for the stockholders who decide to sell their shares at that point. The Retained Earnings is also reduced by $15,000, just as it is in the case of cash dividend.
b) Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par:
beginning balance $310,000
Treasury stock (28,900)
ending balance $281,100
This account reflects the changes in Treasury stock above and below the par values. It is also used to record the above and below the par values when shares are issued.
c) Treasury Stock: This is a contra account to the Common Stock. It records the repurchase of entity's own stock. Two methods are allowed for accounting for treasury stock. One is the par value method, where the differences in par value are recorded in the Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par. The other method is the costing method, where the differences in par value are recorded in the Treasury stock account.
Under Variable costing, fixed expenses: Select one: a. Are subtracted from sales to arrive at the contribution margin b. Are subtracted from sales to arrive at the gross profit c. Are expensed in the current period d. A and C
Answer:
The answer is C. Are expensed in the current period
Explanation:
Under variable costing, fixed expenses is treated as a period cost and is expensed in the current period's income statement.
Option A is incorrect because variable cost and not fixed cost cost are subtracted from sales to arrive at contribution margin
Option B is also incorrect because cost of sales and not fixed cost/expenses are subtracted from sales to arrive at gross profit.
Which of the following accounts will only be found in the chart of accounts of a merchandising company? a. Accounts Payable b. Accounts Receivable c. Inventory d. Sales
Answer:
c. Inventory
Explanation:
A merchandising company is one that specialises in buying and reselling goods. Profit is made by selling goods at higher prices than they were bought.
Merchandising companies can be wholesale or retail businesses.
Because of the nature of their business merchandising companies usually make use of storage facilities to stock goods. This nesecitates the use of an inventory account to monitor inflow and outflow of goods.
Therefore inventory account is used only by merchandising companies
Answer:
The answer is C. Inventory
Explanation:
Meerchandising company is a company that buys goods(inventories) and resells them later at a price higher than the purchase price.
We have two types of merchandising companies:
1. Retail
2. Wholesale.
Since they buy and sells inventories (goods), only inventory accounts can be found in the chart of accounts among those options.

Working
Cost of goods sold=Beginning inventory + Purchases − Ending inventory
=$14,000 + $140,000 − $7,000
=$161,000
Variable administrative = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Variable expense - Contribution margin
= $210,000 - $161,000 - $15,000 - $60,000
= -$26,000
Fixed selling expenses = Contribution margin - Administrative margin - Net Income
= $60,000 - (-$26,000) - $18,000
= $68,000

Fixed selling expenses $68,000
Variable administrative expenses $12,000
Fixed administrative expenses $12,000 $107,000
Net Operating Income (Loss) $58,000
3. Selling price per unit = Sales / No of units
= $210,000 / 1000 unit
= $210
4. Variable cost per unit = Variable expenses / No of units
= $188,000 / 1000 unit
= $188
5. Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / No of units
= $22,000 / 1000 unit
= $22
6. In the contribution income statement, the income is calculated in a detailed manner. The expense is evaluated at each step. It will be useful for the managers to estimate the changes in net operating income.
On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method. g
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $14,355
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $65,800
Number of units= 200
Salvage value= $2,000
During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts.
To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated
Annual depreciation= [(65,800 - 2,000)/200]*45
Annual depreciation= $14,355
A manufacturer that sells _ is most likely to employ personal selling.
A. Scissors with a safety attachment.
B. Generic tea at a low cost.
C. Private jets to people.
D. Packaged chips all over the world.
Answer:
C. Private jets to people.
Explanation:
Personal selling refers to a strategy in which the sales people meet with the customer to convince him/her to buy the product. This strategy is used when the goods of services are costly or technical. According to this, the answer is that a manufacturer that sells private jets to people is most likely to employ personal selling because it is an specialized and costly product that requires to meet the customer to be able to explain everything and encourage him/her to make the purchase.
The other options are not right because they are cheaper products and don't require the sales people to meet with the customer to be able to sell them.
Angus Company agreed to sell goods for Longhorn Company on consignment, but wasn't willing to take ownership of the goods in case they were difficult to sell. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Angus owns the inventory and should report It on its balance snoot.
B. Long hum owns the inventory but should not report it on its balance sheet because Angus actually holds the inventory
C. Angus owns the inventory since possession is nineteenths of the law. but should not report it on its balance sheet.
D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.
Answer: D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.
Explanation:
Goods to be sold on consignment for a company means a company is selling goods for another company and will be paid for their services.
In that case, the company being sold for will retain the ownership of the goods because the company that is selling it for them is simply providing a service.
Angus in this scenario are simply holding the goods to sell it and so do not own the goods. Longhorn should therefore record it in their own books as inventory.
A company operates in a perfectly competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $360 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) at each quantity of workers.
Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Marginal Revenue Product of Labor
(Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars)
0 0 - -
1 20 20
2 39 19
3 57 18
4 72 15
5 84 12
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
The marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL) is an additional amount of revenue that a firm will make when it hires one additional employee. The formula and r calculating
MRPL = marginal product of labour x marginal revenue.
It should be noted that P = MC = MR. Therefore marginal revenue will be $20.
Therefore when:
MPPL = 0
MRPL = 0 × 20 = 0
MPPL = 20
MRPL = 20 ×20 = 400
MPPL = 19
MRPL = 19 × 20 = 380
MPPL = 18
MRPL = 18 × 20 = 360
MPPL = 15
MRPL = 15 × 20 = 300
MPPL = 12
MRPL = 12 × 20 = 240
Check the attached file for the table.
The completion of the column for the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) is as follows:
Labor (Number of Output Marginal Product of Value of the
workers) (Units of output) Labor (Units of output) Marginal Product
of Labor (Dollars)
1 20 20 $400 (20 x $20)
2 39 19 $380 (19 x $20)
3 57 18 $360 (18 x $20)
4 72 15 $300 (15 x $20)
5 84 12 $240 (12 x $20)
The marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL) shows the additional amount of revenue the firm generates when it adds one additional employee to its labor force. It is the product from the multiplication of the marginal product of labor by the selling price of output.
Thus, according to the law of Marginal Revenue Product of Labor, the company will demand more labor until its MRPL equals the wage rate, that is at $360.

"Given the fact that both the Navy and the Air Force regularly fly pilotless aircraft for surveillance and combat missions, the idea of a driverless fork truck seems somewhat of a no-brainer. Why not pilotless cargo aircraft such as FedEx and UPS? Why not semi-trucks moving intercity without drivers? How would your answer differ if we had high-ways that were dedicated to truck-only traffic, either on an exclusive or time-allocated basis? Where do you think the concept of probotics will eventually end up? "
Answer:
If we had highways available to truck-only traffic then the question will need to contemplate on is if the truck-only highways will enable only driver less trucks or the conventional trucks as well.
Also humans are susceptible to error. while machines usually follow strict rules.
These two different methods to driving and could cause problems and also accidents. the only method accomplish driver less trucks is to ensure truck-only highways exclusive to driver less trucks.
The idea of robotics and automations will keep growing. we may have, automated vehicles on the road in the next 20 years.
Similarly automation is set to change our home, roads, cars and how we do business today.
Explanation:
Solution
There are different reasons why we do not see driver less fork truck or pilot less cargo aircraft. but the key reasons behind them can be is stated below:
(1)Technology: The technology behind driver less truck or pilot less aircraft are still very fresh. This implies that the use of this technology is extremely high. at some point it may even include national security concern. this is the reason why the technology is not available openly to public and business organization cannot use them for their customers.
(2)Safety: Pilot less aircraft for surveillance carries a particular risk. we need to know that the workmanship of Navy and Air Force is part of these risk. Thus, the normal everyday jobs like businesses and operations do not take such high risk.
A pilot less aircraft’s crash could result in damage to lives and property and brings other issues. with the new technology the risks we go higher and best not used for mass/public consumption.
(3)Regulations: Any new design of operation often needs the government approval. Driver less cars as of now are only at its initial stage of creation. But, before this becomes a common mode of transportation, the government consent may be required.
The infrastructure needs to be present for such vehicles. These requires a lot of effort and preparation, which is not available at the moment.
Now
If we had highways assigned to truck-only traffic then the question will still be if the truck-only highways will permit only driver less trucks or the conventional trucks as well.
The problem is if we mix them. humans are liable to error and also capable of improvisation. while machines do follow strict rules. these two different methods to driving and could cause confusion and also accidents. the only way to accomplish driver less trucks is to ensure truck-only highways exclusive to driver less trucks.
The idea of robotics and automations will keep growing. we may have, automated vehicles on the road in the next 20 years (in some countries). Similarly automation is set to change our home, roads, cars and how we run business today.
For Instance, in future we could be living in a completely automated house, being taken to work by automated public/private transport and even travelling to other countries in a pilot less airplanes.

A borrowers expresses concern that once he signs all the documents he will be stuck with a second mortgage
The question is incomplete:
A borrowers expresses concern that once he signs all the documents he will be stuck with a second mortgage. A good response by a Notary Signing Agent could be to:
a. Recommend that the borrower contact his lender’s representative and provide the phone number
b. Suggest the borrower stop, take a few days to reconsider, and then reconvene once the borrower feels more comfortable
c. Recommend that the borrower sign documents now and then cancel the loan within three days if the borrower is still concerned
d. Assure the borrower that the borrower’s loan term are excellent and should continue
Answer:
a. Recommend that the borrower contact his lender’s representative and provide the phone number
Explanation:
As the borrower is concern that he will be stuck wit a second mortgage, a good response is to contact his lender's representative as that would be the appropiate person to help him understand all the conditions on his mortgage and be sure that they are good and that he will be able to pay back the loan.
The other options are not right because the borrower should reconsider but he needs to talk to the lender's representative to get all the information to be able to make a decision, he shouldn't sign the documents if he is not sure and a Notary Signing Agent is not the appropiate person to talk about the loan terms.
Galvatron Metals has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $1,919 and matures in 17 years. The par value is $2,000 and the company's tax rate is 39 percent. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
4.09%
Explanation:
For computing the after cost of debt we have to applied the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,919
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = 2,000 × 6.3% ÷ 2 = $63
NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.35% × 2 = 6.70%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.70% × ( 1 - 0.39)
= 4.09%
The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in _________.
Average lifetime lengths have increased by ______,
the number of hours worked per week has decreased by _________ ,
and homes have _________ doubled in size.
almost
1940
21%
8%
12%
1935
1960
more than
17%
Answer:
The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in 1960. Average lifetime lengths have increased by 12%, the number of hours worked per week has decreased by 17% , and homes have more than doubled in size.
Explanation;
Economic data shows that Americans make on average, about 4 times what they were making in real income in 1960 due to exponential economic growth.
At the same time, Americans are also living a longer life by 12% on average than in 1960 when the life expectancy was around 70 years. Today it is around 78 years.
Americans are also working fewer hours than their 1960 counterparts because where in 1960 they worked for an average of 50 hours a week, recently that number hovers around 40 hours a week.
Houses built are also larger than they were in the '60s as income has increased and preferences have changed.
New Gadgets, Inc., currently pays no dividend but is expected to pay its first annual dividend of $4.90 per share exactly 7 years from today. After that, the dividends are expected to grow at 3.5 percent forever. If the required return is 11.3 percent, what is the price of the stock today
Answer:
Price of stock today =$33.045
Explanation:
The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
This model would be applied as follows
PV of the first dividend =
Dividend in year 7 × (1+r)^(-n)
r- 11.3%, n- 7
PV = 4.90× 1.113^(-7) = 2.315
Dividend in year 8 and beyond
PV (in year 7 terms) =4.90× 1.035/(0.113- 0.035)= 65.019
PV of dividend in year 0
=PV in year 7 × 1.113^(-7)
=65.019 × 1.113^(-7) = 30.73
Price of stock today = 2.315+ 30.73 = 33.045
Price of stock today =$33.045
EVA/MVA The financial statements reflect historical data, but managers' performance must be evaluated on the basis of values. To provide this information, financial analysts have developed two measures: Market Value Added (MVA) and Economic Value Added (EVA). Market Value Added represents the difference between the money stockholders have invested in the firm versus the cash they could receive if the firm were sold. The equation for MVA is:
Answer:
MVA = (Shares outstanding * Stock price) - Total common equity
Explanation:
Market value added is the excess of equity over its book value. It is the difference between money invested by stockholders and the cash they will receive if the company is sold. The higher MVA of a company means performance of the company management is good and is in the favor of stockholders.

Juggernaut Satellite Corporation earned $18.5 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 40 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 40 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 60 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $80. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent is expected to continue in the future.
What is the required rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
13.41%
Explanation:
Last Year: Earnings = $18,500,000
Shares Outstanding = 2,000,000
Earnings per share = Earnings / Shares Outstanding
= $18,500,000 / 2,000,000
= $9.25
Dividend per share, D0 = Earnings per share * Payout Ratio
Dividend per share, D0 = $9.25 * 40%
Dividend per share, D0 = $3.70
Retention Ratio = 60%
Return on Equity = 14%
Growth Rate, g = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth Rate, g = 14% * 0.60
Growth Rate, g = 8.40%
Current Price, P0 = $80.00
Next Year: Dividend per share, D1 = D0 * (1 + g)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * (1 + 8.40%)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * 1.084
Dividend per share, D1 = $4.0108
Required Rate of Return = D1 / P0 + g
= $4.0108 / $80.00 + 0.0840
= 0.0501 + 0.0840
= 0.1341
= 13.41%

Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $ 38/share, Moosehead stock drops to $ 60/share, and Venture Associates stock rises to $ 13 per share.
a. What is the new value of the portfolio?b. What return did the portfolio earn?
Answer:
The new value of the portfolio = $698266.4
The return that the portfolio earn = 74.57%
Explanation:
GIven that;
Retirement amount = $400,000
Number of shares in GoldFinger = 51% of the 400,000/20
Number of shares in GoldFinger = 0.51 × 400000/20
Number of shares in GoldFinger = 10,200
Number of shares in Moosehead = 19% of 400,000/90
Number of shares in Moosehead = 0.19 × 400000/90
Number of shares in Moosehead = 844.44
Number of shares in Venture Associates = (1- (51%+19%) of 400000/6
Number of shares in Venture Associates = (1- (0.70) × 400000/6
Number of shares in Venture Associates = 0.30 × 400000/6
Number of shares in Venture Associates = 20000
∴
(a)
The new value of the portfolio = (10200 × 38 )+( 844.44 × 60) + (20000 × 13)
The new value of the portfolio = $698266.4
(b) the return that the portfolio earn = (new value of the portfolio - retirement savings)/retirement savings
the return that the portfolio earn = (698266.4 - 400000)/400000
the return that the portfolio earn = 0.7457
the return that the portfolio earn = 74.57%
Company X uses the accounts receivable ageing approach to estimate bad debt expense. Please calculate the December 31, 2018 allowance for doubtful accounts using the following information: The estimated loss rate for uncollectibility for each category is as follows: Up to 30 days due 3%, Up to 31 to 60 days due 6% and Over 60 days due 10%.
Before the December 31, 2018 calculations were made the allowance for doubtful accounts had a $500 Debit balance in it. The balances in the December 31, 2018 accounts receivable ageing schedule are as follows:
Up to 30 days due $100,000
Up to 31 to 60 days due $40,000
Over 60 days due $20,000
Answer:
Company X
Calculation of the December 31, 2018 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
Accounts Receivable balances Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Up to 30 days due $100,000 $3,000 (100,000 x 3%)
Up to 31 to 60 days due $40,000 $2,400 (40,000 x 6%)
Over 60 days due $20,000 $2,000 (20,000 x 10%)
Total Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $7,400
Explanation:
The 2018 Uncollectible Expenses will be $7,900 ($7,400 + 500).
Using the ageing method, each class of account receivable balance is applied the estimated rate of uncollectible. Then, these are summed to give the amount estimated as the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the year. The resulting figure is compared with the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to determine the amount of the Uncollectible Expenses which is taken to the income summary for the period.
Which of the following would a defender of globalization most likely use as an example to argue that concerns of Americanization are overblown and that globalization is indeed a two-way street?
A) the view of McDonald's being a domestic brand in China
B) the growing popularity of coffee in China since the introduction of Starbucks
C) the growing number of IKEA furniture stores in the United States
D) the initial failure of Disneyland Paris
E) the anti-globalization protests aimed at KFC
Answer: C) the growing number of IKEA furniture stores in the United States
Explanation:
IKEA is a very popular furniture chain in the United States that keeps rising in popularity as well as adding new locations. However, it is not an American company but rather a Swedish company with it's headquarters in The Netherlands. This shows that as American companies such McDonald's, Disney and Starbucks are spreading around the world, so also are foreign companies spreading in the USA.
The defender of Globalization can point to this and show that the Americans are not only spreading around the world, but have foreign companies spreading amongst them as well making it a 2 way street.
