Henry Co. assigned $400,000 of accounts receivable to Easy Finance Co. as security for a loan of $335,000. Easy charged a 2% commission on the amount of the loan; the interest rate on the note was 10%. During the first month, Henry collected $110,000 on assigned accounts after deducting $380 of discounts. Henry accepted returns worth $1,350 and wrote off assigned accounts totaling $2,980. Reference: Ref 7-2 The amount of cash Henry received from Easy at the time of the transfer was
Answer:
$328,300
Explanation:
Amount of cash received by Henry from Easy at the time of the transfer was = Amount of Loan - Commission
= $335,000 - ($335,000*2%)
= $335,000 - $6,700
= $328,300
Thus, the amount of cash received by Henry from Easy at the time of the transfer was $328,300
Cambridge Manufacturing Company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated its total overhead cost to be $325,000 and machine hours to be 25,000. Actual manufacturing overhead and machine hours were $372,000 and 26,000, respectively.
Required:1.Compute the predetermined overhead rate
Compute applied manufacturing overhead.
Compute over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
Under/over applied overhead= $34,000 underapplied
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
At the beginning of the year, the company estimated its total overhead cost to be $325,000 and machine hours to be 25,000. Actual manufacturing overhead and machine hours were $372,000 and 26,000, respectively.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 325,000/25,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13 per machine-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 13*26,000= $338,000
Finally, we determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 372,000 - 338,000
Under/over applied overhead= $34,000 underapplied
A package of 8 frankfurters costs $5.00 and a package of 12 hot dog buns costs $3.00. If Jeffrey makes a hot dog sandwich using only a frankfurter and a bun, what percent of the cost of his hot dog sandwich comes from the bun?
Answer:
Buns= 28.57%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A package of 8 frankfurters costs $5.00 and a package of 12 hot dog buns costs $3.00.
First, we need to calculate the unitary cost of the frankfurters and buns.
Frankfurters= 5/8= $0.625
Buns= 3/12= 0.25
Now, the percentage of buns per hotdog:
Total unitary cost= 0.625 + 0.25= 0.875
Buns= 0.25/0.875= 0.2857= 28.57%
Using a perpetual inventory system, the entry to record the return from a customer of merchandise sold on account includes a a. credit to Inventory b. credit to Customer Refunds Payable c. debit to Inventory d. debit to Cash
Answer:
c. Debit to Merchandise Inventory.
Explanation:
A perpetual inventory system is a type of inventory management that continuously records in real-time the amount of inventory sold or purchased through the use of enterprise software or technological software applications such as a point of sale (POS).
Using a perpetual inventory system, the entry to record the return from a customer of merchandise sold on account includes debit to merchandise inventory. Merchandise inventory is a record of stock (goods) that a wholesaler or retailer purchases and are willing to resell to the consumers at a higher selling price. The merchandise inventory should be classified as a current asset on the balance sheet.
Hence, a merchandise inventory is recorded as an asset by crediting accounts payable while debiting the inventory account.
Also, note that all purchases of merchandise should be debited to the account of merchandise inventory while merchandise sold should be debited to cost of merchandise sold or as credit to merchandise inventory when the perpetual inventory system is being used by an organization.
Assume that you invest $550 in a certificate of deposit that has an annual interest rate of 4.5 percent. According to the rule of 72, what will your investment be worth after 16 years
Answer:
$1,100
Explanation:
Calculation for what will the investment be worth after 16 years
Rule of 72 is the rule or methods which help in estimating an investment's doubling time.
Therefore According to the rule of 72 what we are going to do is to double the amount of money invested in the Certificate of deposit which was $550
Hence,
Since $550 was invested at an annual interest rate of 4.5%. Thus the rule of 72 tells us that the money will double every 16 years,
Approximately:
Years Balance
Now $550
16 $1,100
( The amount of $550 doubles every 16 years)
Therefore what the investment be worth after 16 years will be $1,100

When setting optimal prices, which of the following is a concern when utilizing a regression of observed sales on observed prices to set them?
a. All of these answers apply.
b. Future prices might be outside the range of past prices.
c. There is not enough variation in observed prices.
Answer:
The Future prices might be outside the range of past prices when setting optimal price
Explanation:
Future prices might be outside the range of past prices is a concern when utilizing a regression of observed sales on observed prices to set them because setting An optimal price enables the price at which the seller can make the highest profit possible in order to increase revenue with maximum profitability in which this can only be done when using the optimal pricing strategy for example in a situation where a company is competing in several locations and different market segments, this means clearly understanding and planning a special approach for the environments before the company makes any changes in their pricing strategy is important because Future prices might be outside the range of past prices.
Current operating income for Bay Area Cycles Co. is $44,000. Selling price per unit is $100, the contribution margin ratio is 20%, and fixed expense is $176,000. Required: 1. Calculate Bay Area Cycle’s per unit variable expense and contribution margin. How many units are currently being sold?
Answer:
• Unit variable expense $80
• Contribution margin $20
• Units currently being sold 8,800 units
Explanation:
1.a Bay area's per unit variable expense
Contribution margin =Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit
Therefore;
Variable cost/expense per unit = Selling price per unit - Contribution margin
= $100 - $20
= $80
b. Contribution margin
= Selling price per unit × Contribution margin ratio
= 100 × 20%
= $20
2. How many units are currently being sold.
• Break even points in units
= Fixed expenses ÷ contribution margin per unit
Where;
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit × Contribution margin ratio
= $176,000 ÷ $20
= 8,800 units
is (R$), has been trading at R$3.40/US$. Exports to Brazil are currently 50,000 printers per year at the reais-equivalent of $200 each. A rumor exists that the reais will be devalued to R$4.00/$ within two weeks by the Brazilian government. Should the deva
Answer:
Some information was missing, so I looked it up:
Should the devaluation take place, the reais is expected to remain unchanged for another decade.
Accepting this forecast as given, DP faces a pricing decision which must be made before any actual devaluation: DP may either 1) maintain the same reais price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Brazilian volume will not change or 2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the reais price in Brazil to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume. Direct costs in the U.S. are 60% of the U.S. sales price.
What would be the short-run (one-year) implication of each pricing strategy? Which do you recommend?
In the short run:
if you decide to keep the current price in reais, then your contribution margin per unit will decrease from $80 to $50. Total contribution from sales to Brazil will reduce from $4,000,000 to $2,500,000.
If you decide to increase the price in reais, then your contribution margin per unit will remain at $80, but your total sales will fall to 40,000. Total contribution margin from sales to Brazil will reduce from $4,000,000 to $3,200,000
Personally, I would recommend increasing the price since operating profits will reduce in a smaller proportion.
Verizox Company uses a job order cost system with manufacturing overhead applied to products based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company estimated its manufacturing overhead cost at $181,090. Estimated direct labor cost was $481,580 for 19,900 hours.Actual costs for the most recent month are summarized here:Item Description Total CostDirect labor (1,800 hours) $46,361Indirect costs Indirect labor 2,540Indirect materials 3,420Factory rent 3,300Factory supervision 4,730Factory depreciation 5,760Factory janitorial work 1,270Factory insurance 1,890General and administrative salaries 4,240Selling expenses 5,350Required1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Predetermined Overhead Rate _____ Per DL Hour2. Calculate the amount of applied manufacturing overhead.Applied Overhead Rate _____3. Calculate actual manufacturing overhead costs.Actual Manufacturing Overhead Costs _____4. Compute over- or underapplied overhead.Overhead _____
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $181,090
Estimated direct labor houra= 19,900
Actual costs:
Indirect labor= $2,540
Factory rent= $3,300
Factory supervision= $4,730
Factory depreciation= $5,760
Factory janitorial work= $1,270
Factory insurance= $1,890
Actual overhead= $19,490
Actual direct labor hours= 1,800
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 181,090/19,900= $9.1 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 9.1*1,800= $16,380
Actual manufacturing overhead costs= $19,490
Finally, we can determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 19,490 - 16,380
Under/over applied overhead= $3,110 underapplied
Who would benefit if the exchange rate with yen (in U.S. dollars) increased (i.e. one dollar can buy more yens)?
Answer:
The answer is US consumers
Explanation:
Exchange rate is the rate at which a country can exchange its currency with another country’s currency.
An increase in the exchange rate of dollar with Yen discourages the Japanese from buying american goods.
Since US dollar is appreciating in relative to Japanese Yen, US consumers will benefit since they are buying the goods at a now cheaper rate.

asyFind manufactures and sells golf balls. The company is conducting a price test to find a better price point. Presently their golf balls sell for $21 per dozen. Their current volume is 4,250 dozen per month. They are considering reducing their sales price by 24% per dozen. What % increase in unit sales is necessary to achieve the same level of total contribution?
Answer:
%variation= 31.58% increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per dozen= $21
Sales in units= 4,250
They are considering reducing their sales price by 24% per dozen.
First, we need to determine the actual total contribution:
Total contribution= 21*4,250= $89,250
Now, with the new selling price, the percentage variation in sales units:
Selling price= 21*0.76= $15.96
89,250= 15.96*units
5,592= units
Percentage:
%variation= [(5,592/4,250) - 1]*100= 31.58%

What forces have caused cost and management accounting systems designed decades ago to
become less relevant and less valuable for organizational employees in today’s globally
competitive environment?
Answer and Explanation:
The explanation is shown below:-
1. Goal costing is a form of administration with the main emphasis on reducing costs to a set value. Upon targeting the administration front pick the desired value of trading and benefit perimeter, then evaluate the price to achieve this desired cost of trading and benefit perimeter. This then handles all the tasks needed to meet these planned costs. The key aim of goal costing is the company match, the selling price is the consumer price always, and the profit is reduced by the way out.
Target costing for all units can be applied. And to the banking sector in Ghana as a whole, it can be applied. Target costing may be used in the banking division to reduce the expense of service delivery. The full use of bank sources such as deposits, ATMs, money tellers, etc. can be made here.
To most important services such as credit cards, savings, ATM facilities, Internet banking, etc, goal costing can be enforced. The bank must be able to sell the aforementioned services at the same price in the sector and should discover methods to reduce the value to a target price using normal costs. Internet banking gateways, for example, can be outsourced on a central level to minimize costs, ATMs can be further established via ties between previously operated banks.
2. 1 Established decades earlier, the cost and management accounting systems are known as conventional cost control.
Modern cost control has many drawbacks as a result of which companies have to switch to the new cost and accounting control system known as strategic cost management
Some of the factors that make the management of conventional costs less important and less efficient in today's globally competitive environment are as follows:
a. Concentrate on short term targets.
b. Cost management & quality containment is the primary goal.
c. A reactive approach to commodity cost analysis.
d. Although reducing costs, the results could eventually result in fewer goods being delivered.
e. The nature of today's market is too easy to manage.
f. This will not adequately distribute indirect costs which are the main costs in the scene today.
Potter & Lopez Inc. just sold a bond with 50 warrants attached. The bonds have a 20-year maturity and an annual coupon of 12%, and they were issued at their $1,000 par value. The current yield on similar straight bonds is 15%. What is the implied value of each warrant?
Answer:
$3.76
Explanation:
Calculation of the implied value of each warrant
First step is to find the straight-debt value
Straight-debt value:
N = 20
I/YR = 15
PMT = −120
FV = −1000
PV = $812.22
Using this formula
Total value = Straight-debt value + Warrant value
Where,
Total value =$1,000
Straight-debt value=$812.22
Warrant=50
Let plug in the formula
$1,000 = $812.22 + 50
Second step is to find the warrant value
Warrant value= ($1,000 −$812.22)/50
=$187.78/50
=$3.7556
Approximately $3.76
Therefore the implied value of each warrant will be $3.76

Operating activities are the activities that organization carry out to ensure the smoothness of such company day to day activities. Examples of operating activities are cash receipts from sales of goods, cash payments to suppliers, employees, and expenses.
Stillwater Company Operating cost is decrease by 1,500 as the cash paid to the supplier in addition is an outflow
Also,
Balance of supplies 250
Supplies at hand 1400
1,650
Cash paid for supply (1,400)
in addition
Net Income 250
Conclusion: The option A cannot is incorrect as supplies account is recognized under the Current Asset as an asset not a liability.
How much would you be willing to pay today for an investment that pays $1,300 per year at the end of the next 10 years
Answer:
The investment is worth $8,732.11 today.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,300
Number of years= 10
To calculate the present value, we need a discount rate. If not, the value of money through time is irrelevant.
Imagine a discount rate of 8% compounded annually.
First, we will calculate the future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {1,300*[(1.08^10) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $18,832.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 18,832.53/1.08^10
PV= $8,732.11

During 2022, Sheridan Company entered into the following transactions.
1. Purchased equipment for $318,770 cash.
2. Issued common stock to investors for $139,050 cash.
3. Purchased inventory of $70,940 on account.
Using the following tabular analysis, show the effect of each transaction on the accounting equation. (If a transaction causes a decrease in Assets, Liabilities or Stockholders' Equity, place a negative sign (or parentheses) in front of the amount entered for the particular Asset, Liability or Equity item that was reduced. See Illustration 3-4 for example.)
Answer with its Explanation:
Transaction 1: The purchase of equipment is increase in the fixed assets and as the amount paid is in cash, the decrease in cash asset will also be with the same amount. This means the net effect on assets will be zero.
Accounting Equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Equipment 318,770 - Cash $318,770 = Zero Net Effect
Transaction 2: The increase in the equity will increase the current asset as well here, which means:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Current Assets + $139,050 = Issued common stock + $139,050
Transaction 3: The purchase of inventory on account means that the current asset would be increased and the payables will increase with the same amount. The effect on the accounting equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Current Asset + $70,94 = Current liabilities + $70,940
In response to the economic crisis in 2008, President Merkel "highlighted in her speech what the German government has already done: a financial sector rescue package worth up to €500 billion, and a proposed stimulus package of tax breaks [on income] and spending measures aimed at triggering investments of up to €50 billion over the next two years." Which parts of the stimulus plan will increase labor supply?
Answer:
Chancellor Merkel's proposed stimulus consisted of two parts:
a financial rescue package worth €500 billion (which I personally believe only helped bankers but didn't increase labor supply)tax breaks and investment measures worth €50 billionThe only part of the stimulus package that would actually help to increase labor supply is the last part, which also is the smallest part, since it should have increased investments. When investment increases, the interest rates decrease and aggregate demand increases. As aggregator demand increases, the demand for labor also increases. An increase in the demand for labor results in higher wages, which in turn increases labor supply until an equilibrium is reached.
Governments generally rescue financial institutions arguing that they are really important to the economy, but what is really amazing and repeats itself all over the world is that the same governments favor free markets. When small businesses fail, governments do not care, and small businesses represent 99% of America's companies. Governments only start caring when rich people lose money, since free market rules only apply to them when they favor them. If free market rules do not favor the rich, they are bad and governments intervene.

Carter divorced his wife in the current year. In accordance with the divorce decree, he paid her $15,000 as a property settlement in the division of their net assets. In addition, he paid her $10,000 in partial fulfillment of the annual requirement to pay her $12,000 a year in child support. What amount may Carter deduct on his tax return for the current year

rawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2022. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on July 9. If the end of their fiscal year is December 31, how will the calculation of book value differ for these two vehicles?
Answer: C : They will need to subtract a partial year of depreciation from the book value of the second truck but not the first truck.
Explanation:
When disposing of fixed assets such as vehicles, depreciation has to be charged on them to see their Net Book Value.
Companies usually depreciate their vehicles on a yearly basis in accordance with the end of their fiscal year. This company therefore most likely depreciates on December 31.
The first truck is sold 2 days after this Depreciation so there is no need to add more depreciation to it.
However the second truck on the other hand was sold 6 months later. Depreciation needs to charged on this substantial period but since it was not for the full year, a partial one needs to be charged.

Expenditures on a nation's domestic production Group of answer choices are less than its domestic production. are equal to its domestic production. are greater than its domestic production. could be less than, equal to, or greater than its domestic production.
Answer:
are equal to it's domestic production
Explanation:
A country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is defined as value of all goods and services produced in a country during a given time. Domestic production refers to those goods and services produced at home for local consumption.
Expenditure refers to the monies expended by all entities namely; household, firms and government on goods and services with a country.
When all the entities involved in generating a country's GDP spend their money towards purchasing goods and services produced in a country, then local producers would have more money to buy materials that will be used for further production. The higher the money spent, the higher the production and vice versa.
The above is a cycle that is repeated each time household, firms and government buys locally produced goods hence expenditure on a nation's domestic production equal to it's domestic production.
