Suppose Alex owns a business making quilts that generates $7,000 a month in revenue. Each month, Alex spends $1,500 on fabric and other sewing materials, and he pays his two employees a combined total of $4,000 per month (they each earn $2,000). Alex makes his quilts in a workshop he has set up in his basement. If Alex did not own the quilt business, he would work as a yoga instructor earning $2,300 per month, and he would use the basement as a TV room, an option he would value at $40 per month. a. What is Alex's accounting profit

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Alex's accounting profit is calculated as follows:

Revenue from quilts = $7,000

Materials costs              (1,500)

Labor costs                   (4,000)

Accounting profit        $1,500

Explanation:

Alex's accounting profit is different from the profit when calculated from the economist's point of view.  The economist would include the opportunity costs of lost earnings as a yoga instructor of $2,300 per month and the monthly rental value of $40 for the TV room in the monthly cost.  These are not considered in arriving at the accounting profit.  Accounting profit does not include opportunity costs.  It only includes the actual costs of goods sold or produced.  And it is not the costs that were paid for in cash that accounting profit considers.  All related costs whether paid for in cash or not, provided they are incurred in generating the revenue are included in accordance with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles.

Consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases. This macro-environmental force strongly impacts this industry.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The macro-enviromental forces that impact an industry are: demographic, economic, political, ecological, socio-cultural, and technological.

In this case, we can see the socio-cultural macro-enviromental force at play, and perhaps also the demographic macro-enviromental force.

If consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases, it is most likely because they have change their culture or social status. Such a change in consumer behaviour can have great impact on an industry: it can boost some goods, while make other decline or disappear.

Such a change can also respond to demographic shift: for example, as consumers age, they tend to become more selective, so a good that used to be favored by a young population, might not be so anymore when that young population grows older.

Crane, Inc., paid a dividend of $3.52 last year. The company's management does not expect to increase its dividend in the foreseeable future. If the required rate of return is 16.0 percent, what is the current value of the stock

Answers

Answer:

$ 22.00  

Explanation:

The current value of the stock is the price at which the stock is selling for currently. It is usually the present value of cash inflows expected by investors in the stock.

In this stance, we have a stock that pays a constant dividend in perpetuity, in other words, its present value is the present value of the amount receivable forever.

The present value of stock=dividend per share/required rate of return

dividend per share is $3.52

required rate of return is 16.0%

present value of stock=$3.52/16.0%=$ 22.00  

Hodgkiss Mfg., Inc., is currently operating at only 80 percent of fixed asset capacity. Fixed assets are $462,000. Current sales are $550,000 and projected to grow to $790,625. How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales

Answers

Answer:

New Fixed assets required = $69300

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of new fixed assets required to support project sales, we first need to determine the amount of fixed assets required to support $1 of sale.

The sales value at full capacity is,

Full capacity sales = 550000 / 0.8  

Full capacity sales = $687500

To calculate the $ amount of fixed asset required to support $1 in sales, we need to calculate the ratio of fixed assets to sales. The ratio is,

Fixed assets to sales = 462000 / 687500

Fixed assets to sales = 0.672

Thus, to support a sales level of $790625, the total amount of fixed assets needed will be,

Total fixed assets needed = 790625 * 0.672   =  $531300

New Fixed assets required = 531300 - 462000  = $69300

No Edges Left Behind Enterprises has book income of $1,200,000 which consist of income tax expense of $380,000, municipal bond interest income of $10,000 and business meals expense of $150,000. Using only these items, what is the cmpany's taxable income

Answers

Answer:

$1,645,000

Explanation:

The computation of the taxable income is shown below:

Taxable income is

= Book income + income tax expenses - muncipal bond interest + (50% ×  meal expenses)

= $1,200,000 + $380,000 - $10,000 + ($150,000 × 50%)

= $1,645,000

We simply recognized only 50% of meal expenses and with the help of above items we calculated the taxable income

Prepare journal entries for each of the following. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. a. Issued a check to establish a petty cash fund of $500. b. The amount of cash in the petty cash fund is $160. Issued a check to replenish the fund, based on the following summary of petty cash receipts: store supplies, $199 and miscellaneous selling expense, $126. Record any missing funds in the cash short and over account. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

Answers

Answer:

A.Dr Petty cash $500

Cr To Cash Account $500

B. Dr Store supplies $199

Dr Miscellaneous expenses $126

Dr Cash over and short $15

Cr To Cash Account $340

Explanation:

Petty cash can be defined to a small or little amount of currency and coins which a company tend to use to pay small amounts without writing a cheque.

a)The Journal entry to create a petty cash fund with $500 will be recorded as:

Dr Petty cash $500

Cr To Cash Account$500

b) Preparation of the Journal entry to record any missing funds in the cash short and over account.

The total expenses as per receipts will be:

199+126=325

The balance of petty cash will have:

500-325=$175

The balance available in the petty cash fund is given as $160, which is short by $15 (175-160).

Therefore we need to replenish the fund with $ 340 which is Available fund of $160 -Original fund $500

Hence, the difference in the fund due to error will be treated just like an expense in which debit will be given to an account called ''cash over and short"

Thus, the debit is given to the expenses and credit to cash account.

The entry to record replenishing the fund would not credit the Petty Cash account.

The entry will be

Dr Store supplies $199

Dr Miscellaneous expenses $126

Dr Cash over and short $15

Cr To Cash Account $340

The Edward James Toy Company uses a kanban system to make a plastic wheels that are a component of several toys. The waiting time for a container of the wheels during production is 0.25 day; average processing time is 0.15 day per container. Each container holds 200 wheels. The company uses 2000 wheels a day in the production of its products. Use the information in Case 8.1. Using a policy variable of 5%, calculate the number of kanban containers needed for the wheels.

Answers

Answer:

The number of kanban containers needed for the wheels is 4.2 containers

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of kanban containers needed for the wheels we would have to calculate the following formula:

number of kanban containers needed for the wheels=Demand rate*(Average processing time+Average waiting time)*(1+Alpha)/Container size

According to the given data we have the following:

Demand rate = 2000 per day

Average processing time= 0.15 day

Average waiting time = 0.25 day

Container size= 200

Alpha= 5%

Therefore, number of kanban containers needed for the wheels=2,000*(0.15+0.25)*(1+0.05)/200

number of kanban containers needed for the wheels=4.2 containers

The number of kanban containers needed for the wheels is 4.2 containers

The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,160 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 30% complete. During the period, 24,400 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,280 units in process at the end of the period, which were 60% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the number of equivalent units for direct material and conversion cost is shown below:

For materials

= units started and completed  × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage

=  (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 100%

=  23,240 units + 1,280 units

= 24,520 units

For conversion

= Opening work in process inventory × remaining percentage + units started and completed  × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage

= 1,160 units × 70% + (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 60%

= 812 units + 23,240 units + 768 units

= 24,820 units

The seller is allowed to keep the good faith deposit as liquidated damages after a buyer breaches the purchase agreement. Generally, how will the deposit be distributed after costs incurred on the seller's behalf have been paid

Answers

Answer:

the payment is divided equally between the seller and the listing broker.

Explanation:

A good faith deposit is the amount of money that a buyer pays upfront when making an offer in order to show the seller that he/she is making a serious offer. This money is placed in an escrow and added to the final payment unless the buyer breaches the offer contract. In which case the payment is divided equally between the seller and the listing broker.

On September 1, Emil Rovey purchased a vehicle for $38,000 with a residual value of $4,000. The estimated useful life is 8 years and the company uses the straight-line method. What is the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation expense= $1,416.67

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $38,000

Residual value= $4,000

Useful life is 8 years.

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation. We will use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (38,000 - 4,000) / 8= $4,250

Now, the depreciation for 4 months.

Depreciation expense= (4,250/12)*4= $1,416.67

Fields Cutlery, a manufacturer of gourmet knife sets, produced 20,000 sets and sold 23,000 units during the current year. Beginning inventory under absorption costing consisted of 3,000 units valued at $66,000 (Direct materials $12 per unit; Direct labor, $3 per unit; Variable Overhead, $2 per unit, and Fixed overhead, $5 per unit.) All manufacturing costs have remained constant over the 2-year period. At year-end, the company reported the following income statement using absorption costing: Sales (23,000 × $45) $ 1,035,000 Cost of goods sold (23,000 × $22) 506,000 Gross margin $ 529,000 Selling and administrative expenses 115,000 Net income $ 414,000 60% of total selling and administrative expenses are variable.

d. $429,000

Explanation:

This can be obtained by preparing an income statement under variable costing. The income statement under variable costing deduct variable costs from the sales revenue to obtain contribution margin firs before deducting fixed costs in order to obtain net income. The income statement under variable costing can therefore be prepared as follows:

Net income                                                              429,000

Note:

1. The variable cost is computed using the 23,000 units sold because the variable cost of the opening 3,000 units from the previous year has to be added to the variable cost of the 20,000 units produced this year. This is to obtain the total variable costs for the 23,000 units sold since variable cost varies with units.

2. The Fixed overhead is computed using the 20,000 units produced this year. This is because the total fixed cost does not change as units of production changes. The Fixed overhead of $5 per unit was actually arrived at by dividing $100,000 by 20,000 units. This Fixed overhead was also $100,000 previous year as it remains constant every year.

What, by consensus among economists, are the broad factors for economic growth? Correct Answer(s) language technology resources institutions topography

Answers

Answer:

1. Technology.

2. Resources.

3. Institutions.

Explanation:

An economic growth can be defined as an increase in the market value of the finished goods and services produced by an economy in a particular country at a specific period of time. It is measured typically by the Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

Generally, economists are of the opinion that the economic growth and development of a particular country is determined by some critical factors.

By consensus among economists, the broad factors for economic growth are;

1. Technology: if well harnessed, technological advancement plays a vital role in the growth and development of a country's economy. An improvement in the application of technology implies that the same level of labor will increase productivity and thus, lowering the cost of economic growth and development.

2. Resources: this would help to boost the level of output or production being made available by a country through the discovery of more resources such as crude oil, land, gold, water, minerals etc.

3. Institutions: creation of institutions that would regulate, support and finance businesses would go a long way in advancing the economic growth and development of a particular country.

d. 20%

Answers

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

The total reserves of banks is $4 billion

Since the banks have no excess reserves then, the total amount of required reserves is $4 billion

The checkabke deposits is $20 billion

Therefore, the required reserve ratio can be calculated as follows

Required reserve ratio= $4 billion/$20 billion

= 0.20×100

= 20%

Hence the required reserve ratio is 20%

The officers of an oil refiner, trader, and hedger based in New York were arrested by the FBI for committing massive financial statement fraud. The executives used many schemes to perpetuate the fraud, one of which was to hide a $30 million accounts payable from the auditors and show it as a payable arising in the following year. To conceal the fraud, they altered purchasing records, using correction fluid, and provided only photocopies of the records to the auditors. The Big 4 firm that audited this company was later sued for audit negligence in not finding this fraud.

Required:
In your opinion, were the auditors negligent for accepting photocopies of purchasing records and not detecting this accounts payable understatement?

Answers

Answer:

Yes. The auditors were negligent for accepting photocopies of purchasing records as these are not sufficient audit evidence to base a opinion on.

Explanation:

As part of their professional skepticism, auditors must obtain sufficient audit evidence.

Audit Evidence must be reliable and relevant to be considered sufficient for the auditor to base their opinion.

Photocopies were not reliable as they do not contain the original signatures responsible personnel and may be altered.

An investment, which is worth 26,800 dollars and has an expected return of 4.28 percent, is expected to pay fixed annual cash flows forever with the next annual cash flow expected in 1 year. What is the present value of the annual cash flow that is expected in 4 years from today

Answers

Answer:

Present Value =  $22,663.69

Explanation:

The present value of a sum expected in the future is the worth today given an opportunity cost interest rate. In another words ,it is amount receivable today that would make the investor to be indifferent between the amount receivable today and the future sum.

The present value of a lump sum can be worked out as follows:

PV = FV × (1+r)^(-n)

PV - Present value - ?

FV - Future value - 26,800

r- Interest rate per period - 4.28%

n- number of periods- 4

PV = 26,800 × (1.0428)^(-4)=22,663.69

PV =  $22,663.69

you need to have $32000 in 7 years. you can earn an annual interest rate of 3 percent for the first 4 years, and 3.6 percent for the next 3 years. How much do you have to deposit today?

Answers

Answer:

$22,569.48 is amount i must have to deposit today

Explanation:

FV = Future Value , PV = Present Value , r = rate of interest , n= no of period

PV = FV / (1 + r )n

PV = 32000 / (1 + 3%)^4*(1+3.6%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1 + 0.03)^4*(1+0.036%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1.03)^4*(1.036%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1.03)^4*(1.036)^3

PV= $32,000/ 1.12550881 * 1.111934656

PV= $32,000/ 1.251492251

PV = $22,569.47514

Equipment costing $20000 is purchased by paying $5000 cash and signing a note payable for the remainder. The journal entry should include a credit to Equipment. debit to Cash. credit to Notes Receivable. credit to Notes Payable.

Answers

Answer:

The journal entry should include d. credit to notes payable

Explanation:

As the equipment is purchased and it is an asset, the increase in asset is recorded as a debit to the respective account. Thus, Equipment will be debited. So, the option a. credit to Equipment is incorrect.

The equipment is purchased and it is partially paid for using cash which is an asset and it decreased due to this payment, the decrease in asset is recorded as a credit to the respective account. Thus, Cash will be credited. So, the option b. debit to Cash is incorrect.

There is no involvement of Notes receivable in this transaction. Notes receivable is an asset and here we are using notes payable to cover for the remaining payment of the Equipment. Thus, the option c. credit to Notes Receivable is incorrect.

For the remaining payment of the equipment, a notes payable is signed which is a liability. As the increase in liability is credited, option d. credit to notes payable is the correct answer.

"Hindi Co. started 3,000 units during the period. Its beginning inventory is 500 units one-fourth complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. Its ending inventory is 300 units one-fifth complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. How many units were transferred out this period

Answers

Answer: 3,200 units

Explanation:

The Units transferred out during the year will be those that were inherited from the previous period as well as those started during the year less the closing inventory still in progress.

The formula to calculate the units is therefore;

= Opening inventory + Started during the year - Closing Inventory

= 500 + 3,000 - 300

The article "Domestic Fuels, Indoor Air Pollution, and Children's Health" (Annals of the N.Y. Academy of Sciences, 2008: 209-217) pm-tented information on various pulmonary characteristics in samples of children whose households in India used either biomass fuel or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). For the 755 children in biomass households, the sample mean peak expiratory flow (a person's maximum speed of expiration) was 3.30 Us, and the sample standard deviation was 1.20.

The argument continues about which novel has the honor of being the first American novel. Some award the honor to Gilbert Imlay's The Emigrants, denying the novelistic writing that preceded it (Gray 453). Several novels have lost their claim to that title for one reason or another. In 1751, Charlotte Lennox used American scenes and characters in The Life of Harriot Stuart, but her literary training and home were in England (Shepherd 5). A book called The Female American: or, The Adventures of Unca Eliza Winkfield was thought to have been written by an American and published in London in 1767. In 1775, Adventures of Alonso, probably by Thomas Atwood Digges, was claimed to be by a native of Maryland. The book, however, was not published in America and deals with nothing American. An Indian story, The History of Maria Kittle, was written in 1781, but did not appear as a book until 1793 (Burke 76). Miss McRae by Hilliard d'Auberteuil in 1784 lost its claim because it was written in French by a Frenchman (Sloan 8). Is the author's tone toward the subject appropriate? Why or why not No, it is too harsh in its treatment of the subject. No, it is not opinionated enough for a research paper. Yes, its neutral tone is appropriate for a research paper. Yes, its mocking tone helps the reader to better understand American novels. What is the solution to the equation 4(x 3) - 8 = 16? How are plant and animal cells different?
