Answer:
$22,500
Explanation:
Chance of getting low quality car = 50%
Chance of getting high quality car = 50%
Cost of low quality car = $15,000
Cost of high quality car = $30,000
So, Price of the car = 50% of lower quality + 50% of higher quality
= (50% × $15,000) + (50% ×30,000)
= $7,500 + $15,000
= $22,500
Hence, price of the used car will be $22,500.
The following income statements are provided for Li Company's last two years of operation: Year 1 Year 2 Number of units produced and sold 4,500 4,100 Sales revenue $ 69,750 $ 63,550 Cost of goods sold 41,700 38,000 Gross margin 28,050 25,550 General, selling, and administrative expenses 17,500 16,300 Net income $ 10,550 $ 9,250 Assuming that cost behavior did not change over the two-year period, what is Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2?
Answer:
$13,325
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit
Using this formula
Variable cost per unit = Change in costs ÷ Change in activity Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit = (41,700 − 38,000) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =3,700/400
Variable cost per unit = $9.25 per unit
Second step is to calculate the Selling and administrative expense
Variable cost per unit = (17,500- 16,300) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =1,200/400 units
Variable cost per unit = $3.00 per unit
Now let calculate the Contribution margin in Year 2
Using this formula
Contribution margin = Sales revenue − Variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin= $ 63,550 − [4,100 units × ($9.25 per unit + $3.00 per unit)]
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-(4,100 units×$12.25)
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-$50,225
Contribution margin = $13,325
Therefore Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2 is $13,325
Jayden, a calendar year taxpayer, paid $16,000 in medical expenses and sustained a $20,000 casualty loss in 2020 (the loss occurred in a Federally declared disaster area). He expects $12,000 of the medical expenses and $14,000 of the casualty loss to be reimbursed by insurance companies in 2021. Before considering any limitations on these deductions, how much can Jayden include in determining his itemized deductions for 2020
Answer:
$16,000;$6,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much can Jayden include in determining his itemized deductions for 2020
Based on the information given he can include $16,000 of the medical expenses amount paid and $6,000 calculated as ($20,000-$14,000) of the casualty loss amount when determining his itemized deductions for the year 2020.

On August 1, Sparky assigned $100,000 of the accounts receivable to B Bank and received 90% of the value of the accounts assigned less a finance fee of $1,000. B Bank charges 1% per month on the outstanding loan balance. Cash collections from assigned accounts are to be remitted monthly to B Bank to cover both principal and interest payments. During August Sparky collected $30,000 in cash of the accounts receivable assigned and also accepted sales returns of $3,000 from assigned accounts. During September, Sparky collected $50,000 in cash on accounts assigned and, in addition, wrote off $2,000 of assigned accounts receivable as uncollectible. As a result of these transactions, determine the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable is shown below:
For account receivable assigned:
Beginning account receivable $100,000
cash collected -$300,000
Sales returns - $3,000
Cash collected during September -$50,000
Uncollectible account receivable -$2,000
Ending balance of the account receivable $15,000
For note payable
Beginning balance (90% of $100,000) $90,000
Interest on the loan (1% of $90,000) $900
Cash paid during the August -$30,000
Beginning balance of September $60,900
Interest paid (1% of $60,900) $609
Cash paid during September -$50,000
Ending balance $11,509

2021 income statement Cost of Goods Sold =$2110000+$142,000
2021 income statement Cost of Goods Sold =$2,252,000
Therefore The amount that Sunland should report as Cost of Goods Sold in the 2021 income statement is $2,252,000
Chelsea, Inc. uses the job costing method and uses direct labor hours as the allocation base. In 2016, the company estimated that they would incur 250,000 direct labor hours and total overhead costs of $2,500,000. Actual overhead costs for Job 3489 were $275,000 and actual direct labor hours were 28,000. Which of the following represents the MOH allocated to Job 3489?
a. Predetermined MOH rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead costs/ total estimated amount of the allocation base
b. $250,000/ 25,000 DLH= $10
c. MOH allocated to job= predetermined MOH rate * actual amount of allocation base used by the job
d. $10 * 28,000 DLH= $280,000
Answer:
Allocated MOH= 10*28,000
Explanation:
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= 2,500,000 / 250,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 10*28,000
Allocated MOH= $280,000
Birch Corp., a calendar-year corporation, was formed three years ago by its sole shareholder, James, who has operated it as an S corporation since its inception. Last year, James made a direct loan to Birch Corp. in the amount of $6,650. Birch Corp. has paid the interest on the loan but has not yet paid any principal. (Assume the loan qualifies as debt for tax purposes.) For the year, Birch experienced a $32,000 business loss.
What amount of the loss clears the tax basis limitation, and what is James?s basis in his Birch Corp. stock and Birch Corp. debt in each of the following alternative scenarios?
a. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $46,100 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
b. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $10,300 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
c. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $0 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
Answer:
A. $32,000 clears the tax basis limitation
$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$6,600 Birch Corp. debt
B. $16,900 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$15,000 suspended loss
C. $6,600 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$25,400 suspended loss
Explanation:
A. Based on the information given All the $32,000 amount of the loss will clear up the tax basis limitation which means that James’s stock basis will be reduced to $14,100 ($46,100 – $32,000 loss) while His debt basis on the other hand remains at $6,600.
Therefore:
$32,000 clears the tax basis limitation
$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$6,600 Birch Corp. debt
B. Based on the information given of the $32,000 loss, $16,900($10,300+$6,600) will clear up the tax basis limitation, While his stock basis will be reduced from $10,300 to $0, and his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $15,100 ($32,000 - $16,900)
Therefore:
$16,900 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$15,000 suspended loss
C. Based on the information given the amount of $6,600 will clear up the tax basis limitation. His stock basis will remains at $0, while his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $25,400 ($32,000 – $6,600)
Therefore:
$6,600 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$25,400 suspended loss
A growing trend to "Buy American" may encourage law makers to increase political pressure for Washington to pass legislation for more restrictive quotas on Japanese car imports. In addition, a decline in the value of the US dollar would be instrumental in Toyota’s decision to build a manufacturing plant in the United States instead of continuing to export cars from Japan. If Toyota builds a plant, it’s decision would effect...
Answer: positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, if Toyota builds a plant, then the decision would reflect positive result from the regulatory and economic environmental forces.
The regulatory forces depend impact how an organization will operate. It is part of the external marketing environment of a company whereby the political efforts has an affect on a company's marketing effort.
In this case, since there is a growing trend to "Buy American", if Toyota builds a plant, rather than importing, it'll represent positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.

Why do they say Accounting Equation is the basis for the preparation of statement of financial position in accordance to IFRS financial statement presentation ?
Answer:
The Statement of Financial Position (SFP) or Balance Sheet, shows the assets of the company on one side and then the way the funding that enabled these assets to be acquired on the other.
This is the basis of the Accounting equation which is:
Assets = Equity + Liability
One one side of the (SFP), you have the assets shown. These assets are added up to find the Net Total Assets.
The other side of the (SFP) will have the Equity and the liabilities listed. These are then added up too and they are to be equivalent to the amount of Assets.
This would therefore prove the equation that when you add up Equity and Liabilities, you get Assets.
Two methods can be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $65,000 initially and will have a $18,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $28,000 in year 1, increasing by $3600 each year. Method B will have a first cost of $108,000, an operating cost of $8000 in year 1, increasing by $8000 each year, and a $38,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 8% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis
Answer:
Method B should be used
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth of Method A and Method B.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Present worth of Method A = –$210,889.85
Present worth of Method B = –$118,011.18
Since the present worth of Method A and B above imply Method A costs more than Method B, Method B should be used.

Andy derives utility from two goods, potato chips (Qp) and Cola (Qc). Andy receives zero utility unless he consumes some of at least one good. The marginal utility that he receives from the two goods is given as follows:
Qp MUp Qc MUc
1 12 1 24
2 10 2 22
3 8 3 20
4 6 4 18
5 4 5 16
6 2 6 14
7 -2 7 12
8 4 8 10
Refer to Scenario, what is the total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc)?
Answer:
TU = 40
Explanation:
Total utility is the sum of marginal utility obtained by consuming different units of the good. So at 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and 0 units of Cola drink (Qc) , we can find total utility by adding marginal utility till 5th unit of Qp.
[tex]Total utility = 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 \\ = 40[/tex]
Thus, total utility from 5 units of potato chips and no cola is 40 utils.
The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.
The calculation is as follows:= 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4
= 40 utils
Therefore we can conclude that The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.

n 1982 the inflation rate hit 16%. Suppose that the average cost of a textbook in 1982 was $25. What was the expected cost in the year 2017 if we project this rate of inflation on the cost? (Assume continuous compounding. Round your answer to the nearest cent.) If the average cost of a textbook in 2012 was $150, what is the actual inflation rate (rounded to the nearest tenth percent)?
Answer:
Total number of years = 35
a. Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * e^(35*0.16)
Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * e^5.6
Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * 270.42
Expected cost in 2017 = $6,760.50
b. If the average cost of a textbook in 2012 was $150, then the actual inflation rate:
150 = 25 * e^(r*t)
150 = 25 * e^(r*30)
6 = e^(r*30)
Taking log base e on both side
30r = Ln6
30r = 1.7918
r = 1.7918/30
r = 0.05972667
r = 5.97%
So, actual inflation rate is 5.97%

On January 1, 2021, Farmer Fabrication issued stock options for 420,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimated fair value of $9 each. To provide additional incentive for managerial achievement, the options are not exercisable unless divisional revenue increases by 5% in five years. Suppose that after one year, Farmer estimates that it is not probable that divisional revenue will increase by 5% in five years.
Required:
1. What is the revised estimate of the total compensation?
2. What action will be taken to account for the options in 2022?
3. What journal entry will be needed to account for the options in 2022?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation and the journal entry is
1 The revised estimated total compensation = 0
2 The Farmer will able to reverse the 2021 recorded compensation
3 The journal entry is
Paid in capital-stock options $756,000 ($420,000 × 9)/5
Compensation expense $756,000
(Being the journal entry for the option is recorded)
Here the paid in capital would be debited as it decreased the equity and the compensation expense is credited as it decreased the liability
Qwest Communications International, Inc. borrowed $499,000 on November 1, 2021, and signed a 12-month note bearing interest at 8%. Interest is payable in full at maturity on October 31, 2022. Related to this note, Qwest should report interest payable at December 31, 2021, in the amount of: (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Multiple Choice $39,920. $33,267. None of these answer choices are correct. $6,653. $26,613.
Answer:
Interest Payable - 2021 = $6653.33 rounded off to 6653
Explanation:
The accrual principle in accounting requires the revenue and expenses for a period to be matched and recorded in their corresponding or respective periods. Thus, even though the interest on note will be paid at maturity in 2022, the interest expense related to the month of November 2021 and December 2021 will be recorded in the current year at 31 December as interest payable.
Interest Payable - 2021 = 499000 * 8% * 2/12
Interest Payable - 2021 = $6653.33 rounded off to 6653

Answer: to protect the economic freedom of all of its citizens
Explanation:
The above quote by Adam Smith was him criticizing the common practice in those days of nations trying to control the spending habits of their citizens by passing restrictive laws and limiting the importation and production of certain goods and services.
It would therefore support the U.S. policy of protecting the economic freedom of her citizens such that they may trade whatever it is that they want - so long as it is legal - without restrictions by the government.
Skyler Manufacturing recorded operating data for its shoe division for the year. Sales $4,500,000 Contribution margin 500,000 Controllable fixed costs 200,000 Average total operating assets 900,000 How much is controllable margin for the year
Answer:
Controllable margin= $300,000
Controllable margin in %= 33.3%
Explanation:
Controllable margin is sales revenue less controllable variable costs and fixed cost.
Controllable margin= Sales revenue - controllable variable cost - controllable fixed costs
Controllable margin= contribution margin - fixed costs
= 500,000 - 200,000= 300,000
Controllable margin in %= 300,000/900,000 × 100 =33.3%
Controllable margin in %= 33.3

B. Machine A
Explanation:
Calculation for the net present value and profitability index of each machine
MACHINE A
NET PRESENT VALUE
Cash Flows×9% Discount Factor=Present value
Present value of net annual cash flows($19,800-$5,130)×5.53482 =$81,196
Present value of salvage value$0 ×0.50187 =$0 $81,196
Capital investment $78,200
Net present value $2,996
($81,196-$78,200)
MACHINE APROFITABILITY INDEX
Profitability index = $81,196 / $78,200
Profitability index = 1.04
MACHINE A
NET PRESENT VALUE
Cash Flows×9% Discount Factor=Present value
Present value of net annual cash flows ($39,600-$10,180) ×5.53482 =$162,834
Present value of salvage value$0 ×0.50187 =$0 $162,834
Capital investment $182,000
Net present value($19,166)
Profitability index = $162,834 / $182,000
Profitability index = 0.89
Therefore the net present value and profitability index of each machine are :
Machine A
Net present value $2,996
Profitability index 1.04
Machine B
Net present value($19,166)
Profitability index = 0.89
2. Based on the above calculation for both Machine And Machine B we can see that Machine B net present value is negative while, profitability index is also low which means that Machine B should not be Purchased and MACHINE A SHOULD BE PURCHASED.

XYZ is considering two proposed machinery investments. Proposals A and B each cost $600,000, have 6-year lives, and have expected total cash flows of $750,000. Proposal A is expected to provide equal annual net cash flows of $125,000 while the net cash flows for Proposal B are as follows: Year 1 $250,000 Year 2 $200,000 Year 3 $150,000 Year 4 $ 75,000 Year 5 $ 50,000 Year 6 $ 25,000 Determine the cash payback period for Proposal A and B. Show all calculations. Rounds answers to 1 decimal place.
Answer:
Payback period for Proposal A = 4.8 years
Payback period for Proposal B = 3 years
Explanation:
Calculation of Payback period for Proposal A:
Year Investment Net Annual Cash Flow
0 $600,000 $125,000
1 $125,000
2 $125,000
3 $125,000
4 $125,000
5 $125,000
6 $125,000
Cash Payback period = Cost of Capital investment/Net Annual cash flow
Cash Payback period = $600,000/$125,000
Cash Payback period = 4.8 years
Calculation of Payback period for Proposal B:
Year Investment Net Annual Cash Flow Cumulative Net Cash Flows
0 $600,000 $250,000 $250,000
1 $200,000 $450,000
2 $150,000 $600,000
3 $75,000 $675,000
4 $50,000 $725,000
5 $25,000 $750,000
6
The Cumulative net cash flow of $600,000 is equal to investment cost of $600,000 for 3 years. So, payback period for proposal B is 3 years.
