Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below;
a. Interest receivable Dr ($12,000 × 7% × 30 days ÷ 360 days) $70
To Interest revenue $70
(Being the interest revenue is recorded)
For recording this we debited the interest receivable as it increased the asset and credited the interest revenue as it also increased the revenue
b. Cash Dr $12,105
To interest receivable $70
To interest revenue ($12,000 × 7% × 15 days ÷ 360 days) $35
To Note receivable $12,000
(being cash received is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the interest receivable, interest revenue and note receivable as it decreased the asset and increased the revenue
Increased Efficiency, Inc. is looking for ways to shorten its cash conversion cycle. It has annual sales of $36,500,000, or $100,000 a day on a 365-day basis. The firm's cost of goods sold is 65% of sales. On average, the company has $9,000,000 in inventory and $8,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its CFO has proposed new policies that would result in a 20% reduction in both average inventories and accounts receivable. She also anticipates that these policies would reduce sales by 10%, while the payables deferral period would remain unchanged at 40 days. What effect would these policies have on the company's cash conversion cycle
Answer and Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle refers to the cycle which includes the days inventory outstanding and days sales outstanding and deduct the days payable outstanding
The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding
The computation is shown in the attachment below:
As we can see in the attachment the new proposed policy i.e 234.19 days would decrease the cash conversion cycle by 24.27 days as compared with the current proposal policy i.e 258.46 days
Dolan Company's accounting records reflect the following inventories:
Dec.31, 2013 Dec.31, 2012
Raw materials inventory $310,000 $260,000
Work in process inventory 300,000 160,000
Finished goods inventory 190,000 150,000
During 2013, $600,000 of raw materials were purchased, direct labor costs amounted to $500,000, and manufacturing overhead incurred was $480,000.
Dolan Company's total manufacturing costs incurred in 2013 amounted to________.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $1,770,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Dec.31, 2013 Dec.31, 2012
Raw materials inventory $310,000 $260,000
Work in process inventory 300,000 160,000
During 2013, $600,000 of raw materials were purchased, direct labor costs amounted to $500,000, and manufacturing overhead incurred was $480,000.
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 300,000 + (310,000 + 600,000 - 260,000) + 500,000 + 480,000 - 160,000
cost of goods manufactured= $1,770,000

Demand for dishwasher water pumps is 8 per day. The standard deviation of demand is 3 per day, and the order lead time is four days. The service level is 95%. What should the reorder point be?
Answer:
41.9 units
Explanation:
Reorder point can be defined as the level of inventory which help to triggers an action to replace that particular inventory stock in such a way that when the stock level reduced the item must be reordered because it is the minimum unit quantity that a business owner or an organisation should always have in available inventory before they need to reorder more product.
Using this formula
Reorder point= Demand during the lead time + Z for customer service level * standard deviation * Square root of lead time multiplier.
Where,
Demand during the lead time =(8*4)
Z for customer service level =1.65
Standard deviation =3
Square root of lead time multiplier=4
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point=(8*4) + 1.65*3* square root of(4)
= 41.9 units.
Therefore the Reorder point is 41.9 units

According to this, the answer is that Motorzone most likely practices basing-point pricing because they establish the shipping charges based on a pre-determined location even though some products are not in this place.
Using both the supply and demand for bonds and liquidity preference framework, show how interest rate are affected when the riskiness of bonds rises. Are the results the same in the two frame works
Answer:
Yes, the results are the same in both frameworks. Please see below for explanation.
Explanation:
With regards to the bond supply and demand framework, people will look to buy more bonds since they are more wealthy now. Hence, the supply of bonds will increase. The supply curve and the demand curve will both move to the right, with the former shifting more than the latter. The equilibrium interest rate will increase.
With regards to the liquidity preference framework, once the economy experiences a positive shift, there will also be an increase in the demand for money. People will make an increased number of transactions as well and hence, the demand curve will move towards the right. The equilibrium interest rate will rise too.
Six years ago, James Corporation sold a $100 million bond issue to expand its facilities. Each debenture has a $1,000 par value, an original maturity of 20 years (there are now 14 years left to maturity), and an annual coupon rate of 11.5% with semiannual payments. If you require a 14% return, what price would you pay today for a James bond?
Answer:
Price of Bonds=$848.286
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for James Corporation can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- semiannual interest payment, n-number of periods, r- semi annul yield
A-semi- annul interest payment:
=11.5%× 1,000× 1/2 = 75
r-semi-Annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n-Maturity period =1 4 × 2= 28
PV of interest payment:
=57.5 × (1- (1+0.07)^(-28)/0.07)
= 697.88
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.07)^(-28) = 150.40
Step 3
Price of bond
=697.88 + 150.40
=$848.286
The due diligence process of analyzing and evaluating an existing business ________. Group of answer choices may be just as time consuming as the development of a comprehensive business plan for a start-up helps to determine if the company will generate sufficient cash to pay for itself and leave you with a suitable rate of return on your investment helps to determine what the company's potential for success is All of these
Answer:
All of these.
Explanation:
The due diligence process of analyzing and evaluating an existing business, is the process responsible for revealing the positive and negative aspects of a business.
This process aims to satisfy the buyer and seller by examining the main details of a transaction and ensuring its legality and evaluating most of the facts of the deal.
The agreement must then satisfy the due diligence aspects, so that the two parties involved can price and finalize the transaction effectively.
Therefore, all answer options are correct.
ABC Appliance offers a warranty requiring an annual fee. The warranty may be purchased at the time of sale or at any time within the first year after the appliance was purchased. The warranty fee after the date of purchase is twice the time-of-purchase fee. When asked why the fee was higher after the date of purchase, ABC's president said, "Buying a warranty is voluntary. We've noted that those who buy the warranty after the purchase date have a greater need for service." Charging the same rate or a lower rate after the date of purchase would expose ABC to what problem that also impacts private insurers?
Answer: adverse selection
Explanation:
Adverse selection is a situation whereby the sellers possesses information that the buyers do not have. It may also be the other way round whereby the buyers have information which the sellers don't have regarding the quality of a product.
There is information failure between both parties; typically, it's usually the sellers who has more information. Therefore, base on the scenario above, charging same rate or lower rate after the date of the purchase would expose ABC to adverse selection problems.
According to the Phillips curve, policymakers could reduce both the inflation rate and the unemployment rate by Group of answer choices increasing the money supply. raising taxes. increasing government expenditures None of the other answers is correct
Answer:
None of the other answers is correct.
Explanation:
Williams A. Phillips was a notable economist born in New Zealand. Phillips wrote a famous article titled "The Relation between Unemployment and the Rate of Change of Money Wage Rates in the United Kingdom, 1861-1957" published in 1958 by Economica. In the article, he used data for the United Kingdom (U.K) to illustrate on a graph, a negative or inverse relationship between the rate of change of employee wages in the U.K and the unemployment rate in the United Kingdom (U.K).
Consequently, using the Phillips curve it is practically impossible for policymakers to reduce both the inflation rate and the unemployment rate because as the inflation rate decreases; the unemployment rate increases and vice-versa.
However, according to the Phillips curve, policymakers can reduce inflation and increase unemployment if aggregate demand is contracted.
Production estimates for July are as follows:
Estimated inventory (units), July 1 725
Desired inventory (units), July 31 1, 200
Expected sales volume (units), July 7,500
For each unit produced four hours of direct labor is required. The labor rate per hour is $15. The number of direct labor hours required for July production is:_________
Answer:
31,900
Explanation:
For the computation of the number of direct labor hours required for July production first we need to find out the production in units which is shown below:-
Production in units = Expected sales in Units + Ending Inventory - Beginning inventory
= 7,500 + 1,200 - 725
= 7,975
Total direct labor hours required = Production in units × Hours per unit
= 7,975 × 4
= 31,900
We simply applied the above formulas
Question 16 (3 points) The 2011 and 2012 Balance Sheets for Jacob, Inc. contained the following entries: 12/31/201112/31/2012 Accounts receivable$206$116 Inventories$590$603 Net fixed assets$102$307 Accounts payable$329$333 Jacob had materials purchases in 2011 of $1,689 and materials purchases in 2012 of $2,770 . What did Jacob record as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement
Answer:
$2,857
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the relevant cost incurred to acquire or produce the products being sold a company during a particular period.
The formula for calculating the COGS is as follows:
COGS = Beginning inventories + Purchases - Ending inventories
From the question, we have the following for 2012:
Beginning stock = $590
Purchases = $2,770
Ending inventory = 503
Therefore, we have:
COGS for 2012 = $590 + $2,770 - $503 = $2,857
Therefore, Jacob should record $2,857 as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement.
Daniel acquires a 30 percent interest in the PPZ Partnership from Paolo, an existing partner, for $48,000 of cash. The PPZ Partnership has borrowed $19,000 of recourse liabilities as of the date Daniel bought the interest. What is Daniel's basis in his partnership interest
Which of the following statements is most correct? a. All else equal, if a bond’s yield to maturity increases, its price will fall. b. All else equal, if a bond is down graded by the rating agencies its yield to maturity will increase. c. If a firm has two bond issues that are identical except one is subordinate to the other, the subordinate issue will have a higher yield to maturity than the other issue. d. A B and C are correct. e. None of the above are correct
Answer: d. A B and C are correct.
Explanation:
A bond's price and it's Yield to Maturity (YTM) are inversely related such that when Yield to Maturity rises, the price of the bond falls. This is a because a higher YTM signifies that the bond is riskier so it will compensate by being cheaper.
If a bond is downgraded by Ratings agencies then it means that the bond is now riskier. As it is riskier investors will charge more interest for taking on the risk. The interest is the YTM and so it rises.
A Subordinate bond means that if the company were to go into bankruptcy for instance, the Subordinate bond would only be paid for after the bond that is not Subordinated. This means that there is a chance that Subordinate bond holders will not get anything from the liquidation of the company. Investors will therefore charge a higher YTM to cater for the risk that this happens.

Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals 160minus2 q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20 , which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing . (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
Club membership fee of $60 would maximize profit.
If the club charges tow part pricing the maximum revenue can be $3500.
Explanation:
Joe has entered into a monopoly because he is owner of single golf course in the Northlands.
Demand function for Joe's golf course is:
P = 160 - 2q
P = $20 , q = 50
160 - 2 (50) = 60
Consumer surplus = 0.5 * equilibrium quantity
Consumer Surplus for Joe is ; 0.5 * 50 (160 - 20) = $3500
If MR = MC then demand function will become :
160 - 4q
If q = 25 then
160 - 4 * 25 = 60
Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year note required annual payments of $325,545 and carried an annual interest rate of 9.5%. What is the amount of expense Collins must recognize on its 2017 income statement
Answer:
Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.
If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823
Explanation:
According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.
Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.
When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:
Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.
= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is
= $593, 750/5
= $118,750
2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.
That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%
For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:
= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%
= $924, 455 * 9.5%
= $87,823 (approximately)

1. A company sells a plant asset that originally cost $375,000 for $125,000 on December 31, 2017. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $150,000 after the current year's depreciation of $37,500 had been recorded. The company should recognize a
Answer:
The company should recognize a loss on sale of plant asset of $100,00.
Explanation:
The cost = $375,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $150,000
Therefore, book value = $225,000
This book value is compared with the sales value of $125,000.
There is a difference of $100,000 ($225,000 - $125,000).
Since the book value is greater than the sales value, it means that the plant asset was sold at a loss.
The cost is the amount at which the plant asset was purchased. The accumulated depreciation represents the cost that has been expensed so far. The sales value is the amount at which the plant asset was sold.
Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $24,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $23,600 (inside basis of $11,800) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $39,725. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer:
3425 LOSS
Explanation:
Randolph gain or loss can be calculated as
Gain/loss = Cash distribution + Inventory distribution - Basis in RD
Gain/loss = $24,500 + $11,800 - $39,725
Gain/loss = (3425) LOSS
As You can see RD distributing cash and inventory and they are less than his basis in RD

Platen purchased inventory on August 17 and received an invoice with a list price amount of $5,900 and payment terms of 4/10, n/30. Platen uses the net method to record purchases. For what amount should Platen record the purchase
Answer:
$5,664
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Platen should record the purchase.
Using this formula
List price -(Percentage of payment term × list price)
Let plug in the formula
$5,900 -(4%×5,900 )
=$5,900-$236
=$5,664
Therefore Platen should record the purchase on August 17 as a:
Debit to Purchases (periodic system) and a Credit to Accounts Payable for $5,664
Therefore the amount that Platen should record the purchase will be $5,664
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 618 frames, but the actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
Direct material spending variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame.
Actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850.
To calculate the spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= (13,850 - 1,200)/610= $20.74
Direct material price variance= (20 - 20.74)*610
Direct material price variance= $451.4 unfavorable

Your uncle lends you $2,000 less $100 (interest at 5 percent), and you receive $1,900. Use the APR formula to find the true annual percentage rate. Assume you repay the entire loan in one year
Answer:
APR =5.263%
Explanation:
Computation of the true annual percentage rate
Using the APR formula to find the true annual percentage rate
APR=(2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]
Hence;
APR= (2 × 1 × $100) / [$1,900 × (1 + 1)]
APR=$200/($1,900×2)
APR=$200/$3,800
APR= 0.05263 ×100
APR =5.263%
Therefore the true annual percentage rate using the APR formula will be 5.263%
There is often litter along highways but rarely in people's yards. Which of the following statements help explain this observation?
a. Littering on the highway generates a positive externality.
b. The private cost of littering on the highway is low.
c. The private cost of littering on your own yard exceeds the social cost.
Answer:
The answer is A and C
Explanation:
Solution
Social costs refers to the total cost of an activity incurred by society.
Private costs are direct costs incurred by an individual
Frequently there is liter along the high ways but rarely in people's yards because the social cost of littering is more than private cost. since the society must bear the negative externality, the social cost is more and the private cost is less.
The private cost is higher when one liters on his own yard as the cost is only borne or carried by the owner and not the society.
