a) Annual depreciation expense = $360,000
b) Net book value of the cargo ship as of December 31, 2019 = $9,280,000
c) Net book value of the cargo ship as of December 31, 2041 = $1,360,000
d) Depreciation expense for 2042 = $360,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase price of a cargo ship = $10,000,000
Expected useful life of the ship = 25 years
Salvage value = $1,000,000
Depreciable amount = $9,000,000 ($10,000,000 - $1,000,000)
Annual depreciation expense = $360,000 ($9,000,000/25)
Net book value as of December 31, 2019 = $9,280,000 ($10,000,000 - $720,000)
Accumulated depreciation = $720,000 ($360,000 * 2)
Net book value as of December 31, 2041 = $1,360,000 ($10,000,000 - 8,640,000)
Accumulated depreciation = $8,640,000 ($360,000 * 24)

Through the partnership, the importance of the penis is increased
[tex]w = 0.01 a^x[/tex]
In which an element is gradual and x the year is no.
For [tex]2015 x = 2015 - 1909 = 106[/tex], and at that time [tex]w = 3200[/tex]
thus
[tex]3200 = 0.01 a^{106}\\\\320000 = a^{106}\\\\\ln(320000) = 106 \ln(a)\\\\12.67 = 106 \ln(a)[/tex]
[tex]\ln (a) = 0.1196\\\\\to a = e^{0.1196} = 1.127[/tex]
[tex]15,000 = 0.01\times 1.127^x\\\\15,00,000 = 1.127^x[/tex]
[tex]\ln(15,00,000) = x \ln(1.127)\\\\[/tex]
[tex]6.17 = x\times 0.1196\\\\\to x = 51.58\\\\\to Year = 1909 + 51.58 = 1960.58[/tex]

List down three characteristic of project
Answer:
A single definable purpose, end-item or result. This is usually specified in terms of cost, schedule and performance requirements.
Every project is unique. It requires the doing of something different, something that was not done previously. Even in what are often called “routine” projects such as home construction, the variables such as terrain, access, zoning laws, labour market, public services and local utilities make each project different. A project is a one-time, once-off activity, never to be repeated exactly the same way again.
Projects are temporary activities. A project is an ad hoc organization of staff, material, equipment and facilities that is put together to accomplish a goal. This goal is within a specific time-frame. Once the goal is achieved, the organization created for it is disbanded or sometimes it is reconstituted to begin work on a new goal (project).
29. Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $22,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $56,000 (inside basis of $28,000) 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 $53,625. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer: $3125 capital loss
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we should note that RD Partnership distributes $22500 cash and inventory with inside basis of $28000.
Since Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625, the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution will be:
= ($22500 + $28000) - $53625
= $50500 - $53625
= -$3125
Therefore, there's a capital loss of $3125

Explanation:
Job specialization can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the ability of employees working in an organization to develop specific skills, knowledge, great expertise or professionalism and experience to perform their duties, tasks or job functions effectively and efficiently.
In order to gain the requisite skills, expertise and knowledge for job specialization, it is very important for the employees to have undergone an extensive training and a good number of years in work experience.
The primary purpose of job specialization is to increase efficiency and productivity because the employees are able to specialize in the use of specific tools (equipments) to accomplish their tasks, as well as limit the level of error or mistakes in the production process.
In Business management, method analysis can be defined as the study of the detailed process for the performance of a job i.e how a job is done. Thus, method analysis gives a detailed report on the tasks involved in the performance of a job and how they are to be done.
Basically, methods analysis is particularly valuable when it is used on jobs that:
1. Are high in labor content.
2. Are done frequently.
3. Are unsafe, tiring, unpleasant, and/or noisy.
Aliya and Samuel, managers from different departments at Finger Lakes Financial, are discussing the troubling behavior of an employee. Aliya says that it is the responsibility of high-level managers to take steps to prevent legal wrongdoing by punishing offenders. However, Samuel believes that every individual should take personal responsibility for his or her own behavior and that everyone needs to understand how to do the right thing. Samuel prefers a(n) ________ ethics program.
Answer:
Ethics Program
Samuel prefers a(n) ________ ethics program.
personal (individual) ethics program.
Explanation:
But such a personal ethics program cannot work in an organization. An organization is made up of persons from different backgrounds and orientations with differing work and personal ethics. An organizational ethics program cannot succeed by being dependent on personal scruples, as being suggested by Samuel. Every organization requires a company-wide ethics program that is equally applicable to all persons in the organization. The tone of such ethics program should be set at the top of the organization's hierarchy.
Cynthia, a sole proprietor, was engaged in a service business and reported her income on the cash basis. On February 1, 2013, she incorporates her business as Dove Corporation and transfers the assets of the business to the corporation in return for all of the stock in addition to the corporation’s assumption of her proprietorship’s liabilities. All of the receivables and the unpaid trade payables are transferred to the newly formed corporation. The balance sheet of the corporation immediately after its formation is as follows:

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

A note payable was executed by Sterling Inc. to Miami Finance Company. Sterling Inc. used $768,000 of its accounts receivable as collateral for the loan. The contract provided that Miami would advance 85% of the gross amount of the receivables. Sterling Inc. continues to collect payments for the receivables and the cash from customers is then remitted to the finance company. The cash remitted is first applied to the finance charges, with the remainder applied to principal.
During the first month, customers owing $524,800 paid cash, less sales returns and allowances of $20,480, originally recorded as a refund liability. The finance charge at the end of the first month was $4,480. During the second month, the remaining receivables were collected in full, except for $5,120 off as uncollectible. Final settlement was effected with the finance company, including payment of an additional finance charge of $1,920.
Required:
a. Record the entry for Sterling to record the secured borrowing.
b. Record the entries for Sterling to record (1) the collections and (2) the payment to Miami for the first month.
c. Record the entries for Sterling to record (1) the collections for the second month and (2) the final payment to Miami.

Your family business produces a secret recipe salsa and distributes it through both smaller specialty stores and chain supermarkets. The chains have been demanding sizable discounts but you do not want to drop your prices to the specialty stores. When can you legally accommodate the chains without losing profits from the specialty stores
Answer:
We can make the chain supermarkets buy goods in bulk.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the chain supermarkets have been demanding heavy discounts on goods that you are selling to them.
Also you do not want the eventual price to the speciality stores to drop.
The solution will be to sell products in bulk to the chain supermarkets. This will meet their demand for larger discounts as price per unit of product will be lower with bulk purchase.
Then the speciality stores can still buy in small quantities for higher price.
This will accommodate the requirements from both stores.
Leo Manufacturing Company uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. The first processing department, the Soldering Department, started the month with 32,000 units in its beginning work-in-process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. The conversion cost in this beginning work-in-process inventory was $116,150. An additional 84,500 units were started into production during the month. There were 38,000 units in the ending work-in-process inventory of the Soldering Department that were 80% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of $580,125 in conversion costs were incurred in the department during the month. What would be the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs?
Answer:
$6.71 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs is shown below:
As we know that
Cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs is
= Total conversion cost in the month ÷ Equivalent Units of Production
where,
Equivalent units of Production is
= (Beginning Inventory × Percentage completed in the month) + [(Units started in the month - Ending Inventory) × 100%] + (Ending Inventory × percentage completed in the month)
= (32,000 × 30%) + [(84,500 - 38,000) × 100%] + (38,000 × 80%)
= 86,500 units
Now the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost is
= $580,125 ÷ 86,500 units
= $6.71 per unit

A callable bond:
A. Is generally call protected during the entire term of the bond issue,
B. generally will have a call protection period during the final three years prior to maturity.
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
D. is prohibited from having a sinking fund also.
E. Is frequently called at a price that is less than par value
Answer:
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
Explanation:
A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.
This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.
For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.
So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.

The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 3.30 million of its outstanding shares at $17.50 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13.50 million, the fiber technology division for $9.25 million, and the synthetic products division for $23 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.40 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3.30 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 12 times earnings per share.
Required:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
This will be calculated as:
= Price per share × Number of shares
= $17.50 × 3.3 million
= $57.75 million
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
This will be calculated as:
= $13.5 Million + $9.25 Million + $23 Million + [(12 X $ 1.40) × 3.3 Million]
= $45.75 Million + $55.44 Million
= $101.19 Million
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
This will be calculated as:
= {$101.19 Million - $57.75 Million} /$57.75 Million
= $43.44/$57.75 × 100
= 0.7522 × 100
= 75.22%
Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 8% with semiannual payments of $40, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,196.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,080. What is the bond's current yield
Answer:
6.69%
Explanation:
Price of Ace products bond issue = $1,196
Annual coupon payment = $80
Current yield = Annual coupon payment / Bond price
Current yield = $80/$1,196
Current yield = 0.0668896
Current yield = 6.69%
A company paid its annual dividends of $5.39 per share last week. The company expects to grow its dividends at the rate of 5.0 percent per year for four years, after which the dividends are expected to remain constant at the level of $7.13 per share per year in perpetuity. If investors require a rate of return of 11.5 percent on this company's stock, what should be the price of one share of this stock today
Answer: $58.7
Explanation:
The price of one share of this stock today will be calculated thus:
Dividend of year 1= $5.39(1 + 0.05) = $5.66
Dividend of Year 2 = $5.39(1 + 0.05)² = $5.94
Dividend of Year 3 = $5.39(1 + 0.05)³ = $6.24
Dividend of Year 4 = $5.39(1 + 0.05)^4 = $6.55
We then calculate the value at year 4 which will be:
= $7.13 / 0.115 = $62
The price will then be:
Price = $5.66 / (1 + 0.115) + $5.94 / (1 + 0.115)² + $6.24/ (1 + 0.115)³ + $6.56 / (1 + 0.115)^4 + $62 / (1 + 0.115)^4
= $58.7
Calgary Manufacturing company makes chairs and desks. The following costs were incurred in making its products during its first year of operation. Chairs Desks Total Direct Materials $ 8,500 $ 10,500 $ 19,000 Direct Labor 16,500 12,500 29,000 Also the company incurred $22,910 of employee benefits cost. Since these overhead costs are driven by the use of labor they are allocated to the products based on the direct labor dollars. Based on this information alone the total cost of making chairs is. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer: $38035
Explanation:
Firstly, the allocation rate per labor will be: = Allocated cost / Allocation base
= $22910 / $29000
= $0.79 per labor
Overhead cost allocated to chairs will be:
= $16500 x 0.79 = $13035
Overhead cost allocated to Desks will be:
= $12500 × 0.79 = $9875
The total cost of making chairs will then be:
= Material cost + Labor cost + Overhead cost
= $8500 + $16500 + $13035
= $38035
etaline Corp. uses the weighted average method for inventory costs and had the following information available for the year. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the year: Beginning Work in Process (40% complete, $1,100) 200 units Ending inventory of Work in Process (80% complete) 400 units Total units started during the year 3,200 units
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 3,520
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Ending inventory of Work in Process (80% complete) 400 units
Total units started during the year 3,200 units
To calculate the equivalent units using the weighted-average method, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 3,200 + (400*0.8)
Equivalent units of production= 3,520

US Apparel (USA) manufactures plain white and solid-colored T-shirts. Budgeted inputs include the following
Price Quantity Cost per unit of output
fabric $8 per yard 0.75 yards per unit $6 per unit
labor $16 per DMLH 0.25 DMLH per unit $4 per unit
dye $0.50 per ounce 4 ounces per unit $2 per unit
For colored T-shirts only
Budgeted sales and selling price per unit is as follow:s:
Budgeted Sales Selling Price per Unit
White T-shirts 10,000 units $12 per T-shirt
Colored T-shirts 50,000 units $15 per T-shirt
The USA has the opportunity to switch from using the dye it currently uses to using an environmentally friendly dye that costs $1.25 per ounce. The company would still need 4 ounces of dye per shirt. The USA is reluctant to change because of the increase in costs (and decrease in profit), but the Environmental Protection Agency has threatened to fine the company $130,000 if it continues to use the harmful but less expensive dye
a. Given the preceding information, would the USA be better off financially by switching to the environmentally friendly dye? (Assume all other costs would remain the same.)
b. Assume the USA chooses to be environmentally responsible regardless of cost, and it switches to the new dye. The production manager suggests trying Kaizen costing. If the USA can reduce fabric and labor costs each by 1% per month on all the shirts it manufactures, by how much will overall costs decrease at the end of 12 months? (Round to the nearest dollar for calculating cost reductions.)
c. Refer to requirement 2. How could the reduction in material and labor costs be accomplished? Are there any problems with this plan?.
Answer:
A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine
B) $118076
C) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials
while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset
Explanation:
A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye
Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000
Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3
Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000
Fine = $130,000
hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine
B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing
condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%
Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months
= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12
= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12 = $600,000
Applying kaizen costing
Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4
Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000
Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]
Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61
difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924
with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076 i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = $118076
C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials
while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset
