On December 31, 2017, Extreme Fitness has adjusted balances of $980,000 in Accounts Receivable and $91,000 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. On January 2, 2018, the company learns that certain customer accounts are not collectible, so management authorizes a write-off of these accounts totaling $28,000. What amount would the company report as its net accounts receivable on December 31, 2017
Answer:
Account receivable = $889,000
Explanation:
The company would record as net receivables, the total amount on accounts receivable less total amount on the allowance for uncollectible account.
The above means that the balance would represent the amount of credit that has gone bad hence the value represent balance on net receivable account.
Therefore,
Accounts receivable
= Adjusted balance in accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful account
= $980,000 - $91,000
= $889,000
Winston Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $478,800. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 26,600 hours. The total machine hours for the year were 54,000 hours. The actual factory overhead for the year was $986,000. Enter the amount as a positive number.
Answer:
Results are below.
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= 478,800 / 26,600
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 18*54,000
Allocated MOH= $972,000
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 986,000 - 972,000
Underallocated overhead= $14,000

XYZ Corporation is contemplating the replacement of an existing asset used in the operation of its business. The original cost of this asset was $28,000; since date of acquisition, the company has taken a total of $20,000 of depreciation expense on this asset. The current disposal (market) value of this asset is estimated as $18,000. XYZ is subject to a combined income tax rate, t, of 34%. What is the projected after-tax cash flow associated with the sale of the existing asset, rounded to nearest hundred dollars
Answer:
The projected after-tax cash flow associated with the sale of the existing asset is $14,600.
Explanation:
The projected after-tax cash flow can be calculated as follows:
Net book value of the asset = Original cost - Accumulated depreciation expense = $28,000 - $20,000 = $8,000
Capital gains = Estimated current disposal (market) value of the asset - Net book value of the asset = $18,000 - $8,000 = $10,000
Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $10,000 * 34% = $3,400
Projected after-tax cash flow = Estimated current disposal (market) value of the asset - Capital gains tax = $18,000 - $3,400 = $14,600
Therefore, the projected after-tax cash flow associated with the sale of the existing asset is $14,600.

Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $972,000 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $132,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $21,000. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $108,000. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): (Hint: Give answer in decimal format. For example, if an answer is 10%, use the format 0.10 not 10%.)
Answer:
2.5%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to
First step is to calculate the Annual incremental net operating income
Annual incremental net operating income=$132,000-$108,000
Annual incremental net operating income=$24,000
Second step is to calculate the Initial investment
Initial investment =$972,000-$21,000
Initial investment=$951,000
Now let calculate the Simple rate of return using this formula
Simple rate of return = Annual incremental net operating income ÷ Initial investment
Let plug in the formula
Simple rate of return= $24,000 ÷ $951,000
Simple rate of return=0.025*100
Simple rate of return= 2.5%
Therefore The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 2.5%

Use the following information to answer the next question. Total Asset = $40 million Depreciation = $1.0 million. Basic earning power (BEP) ratio is 20% Lease payments = 0.6 million Times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio is 6.55 Principal payments = 4 million What is the company's EBIT? The company's interest expense? Select one: a. $8.0 million; $1.22 million b. $7.5 million; $0.75 million c. $8.0 million; $0.62 million d. $1.35 million; $0.37 million e. $3.33 million; $0.83 million
Answer:
a. $8.0 million; $1.22 million
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Basic earnings power = EBIT ÷ total assets
So,
EBIT = Basic earnings power × total assets
= 0.20 × 40 million
= $8 million
Now
Times interest earned = EBIT ÷ interest expense
So,
Interest expense = EBIT ÷ Times interest earned
= $8 million ÷ 6.55
= $1.22 million
How are wages for a particular job determined?
by the federal Wage and Hour Department
by the amount of inflation in the economy
by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers
by advertisements in the newspaper or online
Answer:
by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers
Explanation:
Wages are the amount to pay workers for a particular job when employed. Therefore, determining the wages for a particular job is mostly dependent "on the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers, " and sometimes location.
This is because the higher the number of workers available, the lesser the employers would be willing to increase the wage level of employees given the fact that they can easily find another employee. However, where there is a lesser number of employees for a particular job, the employers would be willing to increase the employees' wages to entice them.
According to the labor market equilibrium, The wages for a particular job are determined by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers. Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
The term "labor market," sometimes referred to as the "job market," describes the supply and demand for labor, with employers meeting the demand and employees meeting the supply.
The supply and demand of labor, which are met by employees and employers respectively, are referred to as the labor market.Both macroeconomic and microeconomic perspectives on the labor market are important because they provide useful information on employment and the state of the economy as a whole.Two crucial macroeconomic indicators are labor productivity rates and unemployment rates.Therefore, The wages for a particular job are determined by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers. Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

A corporation can earn 7.5% if it invests in municipal bonds. The corporation can also earn 8.5% (before-tax) by investing in preferred stock. Assume that the two investments have equal risk. What is the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments
Answer:
39.22%
Explanation:
Calculation for the break-even corporate tax rate
Using this formula
Municipal yield = After-tax preferred yield
7.50% = BT preference return ´ [1 - (1 - Dividend exclusion %)(T)]
Let plug in the formula
7.50% = 8.50% ´ [1 - 30.00% ´ (T)]
88.24% = [1 - 30.00% ´ (T)]
Tax rate (T) = 39.22%
Therefore the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments is 39.22%

C. it has many buyers and a few sellers, all of whom are selling identical products, with barriers to new firms entering the market. D. it has many buyers and many sellers, all of whom are selling identical products, with no barriers to new firms entering the market. E. it has many buyers and many sellers, all of whom are selling differentiated products, with no barriers to new firms entering the market.
Answer:
E. It has many buyers and many sellers , all of whom are selling differentiated products , with no barriers to new firms entering the market.
Explanation:
A perfect market is a market where there are large number of buyers such that all participants are price takers hence cannot influence the price of commodities sold in such market.
In a perfect market, there are no barriers to entry and exit. This also means that new firms can enter the market. Here, the buyers are free to buy from any person and the sellers are free to sell to anyone. Differentiated products are also sold there.
The optimal risky portfolio can be identified by finding ____________. I. the minimum variance point on the efficient frontier II. the maximum return point on the efficient frontier the minimum variance point on the efficient frontier III. the tangency point of the capital market line and the efficient frontier IV. the line with the steepest slope that connects the risk free rate to the efficient frontier A. I and II only B. II and III only C. I and IV only D. III and IV only
Answer:
D. III and IV only.
Explanation:
Portfolio variance can be defined as the measurement of risk or dispersion of returns of a set of securities that makes up a portfolio fluctuate over a period of time.
Simply stated, portfolio variance is typically the total returns of the portfolio over a specific period of time.
In order to calculate the portfolio variance, the standard deviations of each security in the portfolio with their respective correlations security pair in the portfolio would be used. Portfolio variance is the square of standard deviation.
A two-asset portfolio with a standard deviation of zero can be formed when the assets have a correlation coefficient equal to negative one (-1) because this defines the efficiency frontier. In Economical portfolio theory, the efficient frontier is a group of optimal portfolios that offers an investor the highest expected return for a specific risk level or offers the lowest risk for a defined level of expected return.
A common risk can be defined as a type of risk that affects the entirety of a business firm or company and as such can't be diversified.
Generally, the optimal risky portfolio can be identified by finding the tangency point of the capital market line and the efficient frontier and the line with the steepest slope that connects the risk free rate to the efficient frontier.

Allowance of interest at the rate of 5% on original investments, salary allowances of $36,000 and $45,000, respectively, and the remainder divided equally.
Hawes Albright
(a) $ $
(b) $ $
(c) $ $
(d) $ $
(e) $ $
Answer:
No agreement concerning division of net income.
Hawes = $52,000
Albright = $52,000
Divided in the ratio of original capital investment.
Hawes = (210/280) x $104,000 = $78,000
Albright = (70/280) x $104,000 = $26,000
Interest at the rate of 5% allowed on original investments and the remainder divided in the ratio of 2:3.
Hawes = ($210,000 x 5%) + $36,000 = $46,500
Albright = ($70,000 x 5%) + $54,000 = $57,500
Salary allowances of $36,000 and $45,000, respectively, and the balance divided equally.
Hawes = $36,000 + $11,500 = $47,500
Albright = $45,000 + $11,500 = $56,500
Allowance of interest at the rate of 5% on original investments, salary allowances of $36,000 and $45,000, respectively, and the remainder divided equally.
Hawes = ($210,000 x 5%) + $36,000 + $4,500 = $51,000
Albright = ($70,000 x 5%) + $45,000 + $4,500 = $53,000
Organizers of an outdoor summer concert in Toronto are concerned about the weather conditions on the day of the concert. They will make a profit of $42,000 on a clear day and $12,000 on a cloudy day.

Bakery A sells bread for $2 per loaf that costs $0.50 per loaf to make. Bakery A gives an 80% discount for its bread at the end of the day. Demand for the bread is normally distributed with a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 30. What order quantity maximizes expected profit for Bakery A
Answer:
324
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What order quantity maximizes expected profit for Bakery A
First step is for the Salvage value
Salvage value = $2 × (1 - 80%)
Salvage value= $0.40
Second step is to calculate the Overage cost
Overage cost = $0.50 - $0.40
Overage cost = $0.10
Second step is to calculate the Underage cost
Underage cost = $2 - $0.50
Underage cost = $1.50
Third step is to calculate the The critical ratio
The critical ratio = 1.5/(1.5 + 0.4) = 0.79. z = 0.8
Now let calculate the Order quantity
Order quantity = 300 + (0.8× 30)
Order quantity= 324
Therefore the order quantity maximizes expected profit for Bakery A is 324

Explanation:
The Skulls, a student social organization, has two different locations under consideration for constructing a new chapter house. The Skulls' president, a POM student, estimates that due to differing land costs, utility rates, etc., both fixed and variable costs would be different for each of the proposed sites, as follows LocationAnnual FixedVariableAlpha Ave.$5,000 $200per personBeta Blvd.$8,000 $150per person If it is estimated that 30 persons will be living in this new chapter house, which location should the Skulls select
Answer:
The Skulls
The location that Skulls should select is:
Alpha Avenue.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated number of persons living in this new chapter house = 30
Fixed Variable Total Cost
Alpha Ave. $5,000 $200 per person $11,000
Beta Blvd. $8,000 $150 per person $12,500
b) The location that Skulls should select must minimize the total cost. The location which meets this criterion is Alpha Avenue, with a total cost of $11,000. This is purely because of the number of persons living in the chapter house. Assuming that this number would increase, then it may be considered economically better to choose the Beta Boulevard instead of the Alpha Avenue.

The following transactions were completed by the company. The company completed consulting work for a client and immediately collected $6,700 cash earned. The company completed commission work for a client and sent a bill for $5,200 to be received within 30 days. The company paid an assistant $2,000 cash as wages for the period. The company collected $2,600 cash as a partial payment for the amount owed by the client in transaction b. The company paid $940 cash for this period's cleaning services. Required: Enter the impact of each transaction on individual items of the accounting equation. (Enter decreases to account balances with a minus sign.)
Answer:
The impact of each transaction on individual items of the accounting equation is as follows:
1. Cash $6,700 Consulting Revenue $6,700:
Assets (Cash +$6,700) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings $6,700)
2. Accounts Receivable $5,200 Commission Revenue $5,200:
Assets (Accounts Receivable +$5,200) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings $5,200)
3. Wages Expense $2,000 Cash $2,000:
Assets (Cash -$2,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$2,000)
4. Cash $2,600 Accounts Receivable $2,600:
Assets (Cash +$2,600 Accounts Receivable -$2,600) = Liabilities + Equity
5. Cleaning Expense $940 Cash $940:
Assets (Cash -$940) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$940)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Accounts affected by each transaction:
1. Cash $6,700 Consulting Revenue $6,700
2. Accounts Receivable $5,200 Commission Revenue $5,200
3. Wages Expense $2,000 Cash $2,000
4. Cash $2,600 Accounts Receivable $2,600
5. Cleaning Expense $940 Cash $940
b) The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. It is the basis of accounting, debit and credit sides of accounts or the double-entry system of accounting. It is always in balance with each business transaction when they are properly recorded in the journals and correctly posted to the general ledger.

ou are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To do this, you will invest $890 per month in a stock account and $490 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 10.9 percent, and the bond account will pay 6.9 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 7.9 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 25-year withdrawal period
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $23,294.99
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Stock:
Monthly deposit= $890
Number of periods= 30*12= 360
Interest rate= 0.109 / 12= 0.0091
Bond:
Monthly deposit= $490
Number of periods= 30*12= 360
Interest rate= 0.069 / 12= 0.00575
First, we need to calculate the amount of money collected at the moment of retirement. We need to use the following formula on each investment:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Stock:
FV= {890*[(1.0091^360) - 1]} / 0.0091
FV= $2,452,918.1
Bond:
FV= {490*[(1.00575^360) - 1]} / 0.00575
FV= $586,123.47
Total FV= 2,452,918.1 + 586,123.47
Total FV= $3,039,041.57
Now, the monthly withdrawal for 25 years:
Number of periods= 25*12= 300
Interest rate= 0.079 / 12= 0.0066
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (3,039,041.57*0.0066) / [1 - (1.0066^-300)]
Monthly withdraw= $23,294.99
