Answer:
To assess the risk associated with a company's use of liabilities
Explanation:
The formula for debt =total liabilities/equity
It is evident from the formula above that debt ratio does not measure the ratio of equity to expenses, neither does it determine the amount of debt that could be borrowed.
In actual fact, it measures the risk inherent in making use of debt as a source of finance instead of equity.
Sumner sold equipment that it uses in its business for $31,800. Sumner bought the equipment a few years ago for $79,100 and has claimed $39,550 of depreciation expense. Assuming that this is Sumner's only disposition during the year, what is the amount and character of Sumner's gain or loss
Answer:
Sumner's has a loss of $-7750 from the sale of the equipment
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
We compute the amount of profit and loss, few steps will be taken which is given below:
Step 1: we compute the book value of the equipment which is shown below:
Book value = purchase price - depreciation claimed
= $79,100 -$39,550
= $39550
Therefore then book value is $39,550
Step 2: we calculate the amount of Sumner's gain or loss which is shown below:
The gain (loss) is = the value (sale) - book value
= $31,800 - 39550
= -7750
Therefore the loss from the sale of the equipment is -$7750
Which implies that Sumner's has a loss of $-7750
If $1200 is borrowed at 9% interest, find the amounts due at the end of 4 years if the interest is compounded as follows. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) (i) annually $ 1693.9 Correct: Your answer is correct. (ii) quarterly $ 1204.3 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (iii) monthly $ (iv) weekly $ (v) daily $ (vi) hourly $ (vii) continuously $
Answer and Explanation:
(i) The computation of compound interest for annual is shown below:-
Compound interest = A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^t
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 1)^1 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^4
= $1,693.897932
or
= $1,693.90
(ii) The computation of compound interest for quarterly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 4)^4 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^16
= $1,713.145749
or
= $1,713.15
Since it is quarterly so we divide the interest rate by 4 and multiply the time period by 4
(iii) The computation of compound interest for monthly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 12)^4 × 12
= $1,200 × (1.0075)^48
= $1,717.6864
or
= $1,717.69
Since it is monthly so we divide the interest rate by 12 and multiply the time period by 12
(iv) The computation of compound interest for weekly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 52)^4 × 52
= $1,200 × (1.432883461 )^208
= $1719.460154
or
= $1,719.46
Since it is weekly so we divide the interest rate by 52 and multiply the time period by 52
(v) The computation of compound interest for daily is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 365)^4 × 365
= $1,200 × (1.43326581 )^1460
= $1719.918972
or
= $1719.92
Since it is daily so we divide the interest rate by 365 and multiply the time period by 365
(vi) The computation of compound interest for hourly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 8760)^4 × 8760
= $1,200 × (1.433326764 )^35,040
= $1,719.992117
or
= $1719.99
(vii) The computation of compound interest for continuously is shown below:-
A = Pe^rt
= 1,200e^0.09 × 4
= 1,200e^0.36
= $1,720.00
A large international company has two business units. Invested assets and condensed income statement data for each business unit for the past year are as follows: Compute the following for Business Unit 1: a) Operating Income Using the Dupont Formula: b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal) c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals) d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal) Compute the following for Business Unit 2: 2A) Operating Income Using the Dupont Formula: 2B) Profit Margin (round % to 1 decimal) 2C) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals) 2D) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Answer:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income = $117,500
b) Profit Margin = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover = 0.86
d) Return on Investment = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income = $69,750
b) Profit Margin = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover = 1.18
d) Return on Investment = 0.1
Explanation:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $280,000 – $162,500 = $117,500
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $117,500 - $59,500 = $58,000
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($58,000 / $280,000) * 100 = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $280,000 / $325,000 = 0.86
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $58,000 / $325,000 = 0.1785 = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $222,500 – $152,750 = $69,750
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $69,750 - $42,625 = $27,125
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($27,125 / $222,500) * 100 = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $222,500 / $189,000 = 1.18
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $27,125 / $189,000 = 0.1435 = 0.1
Doug Pederson Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on machine-hours. Data for 2017 appear below: Estimated machine-hours 73,000 Estimated total manufacturing overhead $1,057,730 Actual machine-hours 74,900 Actual total manufacturing overhead $1,147,000 The predetermined overhead rate for 2017 was closest to:
Answer:
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $14.5 per machine hour
Explanation
Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR) = Estimate overhead /Estimated machine hours
Estimated overhead = $1,057,730
Estimated machine hours =73,000 hours
Overhead absorption rate = $1,057,730/73,000 hours =$14.48 per machine hour
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $14.5 per machine hour
On January 1, 20X8, Package Company acquired 80 percent of Stamp Company's common stock for $280,000 cash. At that date, Stamp reported common stock outstanding of $200,000 and retained earnings of $100,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $70,000. The book values and fair values of Stamp's assets and liabilities were equal, except for other intangible assets which had a fair value $50,000 greater than book value and an 8-year remaining life. Stamp reported the following data for 20X8 and 20X9: Stamp Corporation Year Net Income Comprehensive Income Dividends Paid 20X8 $ 25,000 $ 30,000 $ 5,000 20X9 35,000 45,000 10,000 Package reported net income of $100,000 and paid dividends of $30,000 for both the years. Based on the preceding information, what is the amount of comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8?
Answer:
Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 is $119,000
Explanation:
Stamp Corporation
Year Net Income Comprehensive Income Dividends Paid 20X8 $ 25,000 $ 30,000 $ 5,000
20X9 $35,000 $45,000 $ 10,000
The amount of comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest for 20X8 ;
Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation = $30,000
Less: Annual amortization of intangible assets acquired on acquisition (50000/8) = $6,250
Comprehensive income of Stamp Corporation after adjustment = $23,750
Income attributable to controlling interest = 80% × $23,750 = $19,000
Net income of Package Company = $100,000
Comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest = Income attributable to controlling interest + Net income of Package Company
= $19,000 + $100,000
= $119,000
A corporation has $7,000,000 in income after paying preferred dividends of $500,000. The company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The market price of the stock is $56. What is the price-earnings ratio
Answer:
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Explanation:
Price earning ratio = Price per share /Earnings per share
Price per share = 56, EPS =?
Price per share =56, EPS = Total earnings available to ordinary shareholders/Number of shares
7,000,000/1,000,000= $7 per share
Price earning ratio = 56/7= 8 times
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Finch Company began its operations on March 31 of the current year. Finch has the following projected costs: May June April $159,700 890 Manufacturing costs (1) Insurance expense (2) Depreciation expense Property tax expense (3) $192,500 890 1,920 $214,400 890 1,920 1,920 440 440 440
(1) Of the manufacturing costs, three-fourths are paid for in the month they are incurred; one fourth is paid in the following month
(2) Insurance expense is $890 a month; however, the insurance is paid four times yearly in the first month of the quarter, (i.e., January, April, July, and October).
(3) Property tax is paid once a year in November The cash payments expected for Finch Company in the month of May are
a. $224 225
b. $144,375
c. $184,300
d. $39,925
Answer:
$184,300
Explanation:
1 There will be no cash payment for insurance expense because it has been already paid.
2 Depreciation is not a cash expense
3 Property tax will be paid in November
4 Only the manufacturing cost is to be paid in May
Manufacturing cost = May(75%) + April(25%)
Manufacturing cost = ($192,500 x 75%) + ($159,700 x 25%)
Manufacturing cost = $184,300

The following lots of a particular commodity were available for sale during the year Beginning inventory 9 units at $47.00 First purchase 19 units at $55.00 Second purchase 51 units at $59.00 Third purchase 19 units at $59.00 The firm uses the periodic system, and there are 26 units of the commodity on hand at the end of the year. What is the amount of inventory at the end of the year according to the LIFO method? Select the correct answer. $1,534.00 $5,598.00 $1,358.00 $1,222.00
Answer:
Ending inventory= $1,358
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory 9 units at $47.00
First purchase 19 units at $55.00
Second purchase 51 units at $59.00
Third purchase 19 units at $59.00
Ending inventory in units= 26
Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into the inventory.
Ending inventory= 9*47 + 17*55= $1,358
One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what should be the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities? Write your answer as a percentage, i.e. for example write 8% as 8.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
Currently, the price of Mattco stock is $30 a share. You have $30,000 of your own funds to invest. Using the maximum margin allowed of 50%, what is your percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share
Answer:
The percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share is 20%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share we would have to make the following calculation:
percentage profit or loss=Total Gain/Amount invested
Amount invested=$30,000
According to the given data we have the following:
Share price=$30
Amount invested=$30000
Therefore, Number of shares purchased= ($30,000/50% *1/30)=$2,000
Gain per share ($33-$30)=$3
Therefore, Total Gain=$2,000*$3=$6,000
Therefore, percentage profit or loss= $6,000/$30,000
percentage profit or loss=20%
The percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share is 20%

Unit Unit Cost
Inventory, December 31, 2014 2000 $5
For the year 2015:
Purchase, March 21 6000 4
Purchase, August 1 4000 2
Inventory, December 31, 2015 3000
Required:
Compute ending inventory and cost of goods sold under FIFO, LIFO, and average cost inventory costing methods.
Answer:
FIFO : Ending Inventory = $6,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $36,000
LIFO : Ending Inventory = $36,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method : Ending Inventory = $10,500, Cost of Goods Sold = $31,500
Explanation:
FIFO
Assumes that the first goods received by business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Earliest Price
= 3000 units × $2
= $6,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
LIFO
Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 4000 units × $2 = $8,000
5000 units × $4 = $20,000
Total = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method
The average cost of goods held is recalculated each time a new delivery of goods is received Issues are then priced out at this weighted average cost.
First Calculate the Average Cost
Average Cost = Total Cost / Total Units
= (2000 × $5 + 6000 × $4 + 4000 × $2) / 12,000
= $42,000 / 12,000
= $3.50
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Average Price
= 3000 units × $3.50
= $10,500
Cost of goods sold
Ending Inventory = Units Sold × Average Price
= 9,000 units × $3.50
= $31,500

On March 1, Bartholomew Company purchased a new stamping machine with a list price of $70,000. The company paid cash for the machine; therefore, it was allowed a 5% discount. Other costs associated with the machine were: transportation costs, $1,300; sales tax paid, $3,120; installation costs, $1,000; routine maintenance during the first month of operation, $1,200. What is the cost of the machine
Answer:
$73,120
Explanation:
Bartholomew company purchased a new stamping machine with a list price of $70,000
They were given a discount of 5%
Other costs that are associated with the machine include
Transportation costs= $1,300
Sales tax= $3,120
Installation costs= $1,000
Routine maintenance during the first month= $1,200
Then, the cost of the machine can be calculated as follows
(70,000-5/100×70,000) + $1,300+$3,120+$1,000+$1,200
$66,500+$1,300+$3,120+$1,000+$1,200
= $73,120
Hence the cost of the machine is $73,120
Flyer Company has provided the following information prior to any year-end bad debt adjustment:Cash sales, $167,000Credit sales, $467,000Selling and administrative expenses, $127,000Sales returns and allowances, $47,000Gross profit, $507,000Accounts receivable, $275,000Sales discounts, $31,000Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance, $2,900Flyer estimates bad debt expense assuming that 2% of credit sales have historically been uncollectible. What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded?a) $12,240.b) $9,340.c) $9,780.d) $6,440.
Answer:
The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded is $12,240. Option A
Explanation:
Cash sales = $167,000
Credit sales = $467,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $127,000
Sales returns and allowances = $47,000
Gross profit = $507,000
Accounts receivable = $275,000
Sales discounts = $31,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance = $2,900
Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' = $467,000 × 2%
= $9,240
Credit balance in the allowance account = $2,900
Bad debts expense = Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' + Credit balance in the allowance account
= $9,340 + $2,900
= $12,240

george forgot to pay his monthly life insurance premium that was due march 1. the policy had a face value of $100,000. on march 21, george died. how much will the insurer pay george's beneficiary for this death claim
Answer: An amount equal to the face value of the policy, MINUS the overdue premiums and any interest or late penalties George owed them
Explanation:
Grace Periods are usually included in Life Insurance policies to safeguard the client in question in case they are late with their payment. This means that should they pay within the grace period they will not lose their coverage.
Normally in Life Insurance, a grace period of 30 days is standard. George died 20 days after his due date which meant that he was still under a grace period and so the Insurance company will still pay out to his beneficiaries but they will deduct all monies owed by George.
The management of L Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $260,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $110,000, which includes depreciation of $17,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
2.04 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
To derive cash flows from net income, add depreciation to net income.
$110,000 + $17,000 = $127,000
Payback period = $260,000 / $127,000 = 2.04 years

Given the following information, calculate the debt ratio percentage: Liabilities = $25,000Liquid assets = $5,000Monthly credit payments = $800Monthly savings = $760Net worth = $75,000Take-home pay = $2,300Gross income = $3,500Monthly expenses = $2,050
Answer:
33.33%
Explanation:
The debt ratio percentage is calculated as:
Liabilities / Net worth = Debt Ratio Percentage
$25,000 / $75,000 = 0.3333
0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
The debt ratio is easy to calculate and is calculated by dividing the total liabilities of a person with the total net worth of the person. Dividing both gives a figure in decimal which is then multiplied by 100 to derive a percentage.
Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (2,300 pounds) has the following standards: Standard Quantity Standard Price Whole tomatoes 3,800 lbs. $0.46 per lb. Vinegar 210 gal. 2.80 per gal. Corn syrup 18 gal. 10.20 per gal. Salt 84 lbs. 2.60 per lb. The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch 08-99 were as follows: 4,000 lbs. of tomatoes 202 gal. of vinegar 19 gal. of corn syrup 83 lbs. of salt a. Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Standard unit materials cost per pound=$1.11 per pound
Explanation:
The standard material cost for a standard batch = Total material cost / standard qty (in pounds)
Total material cost = (3,800× $0.46) + (210× 2.80) (84×2.60)=$2554.4
Total standard quantity = 2,300 pounds
Standard unit materials cost per pound =$2554.4/ 2,300 pounds=$1.11 per pounds
standard unit materials cost per pound=$1.11 per pound
Denver Co. recently used 14,000 labor hours to produce 7,500 units. According to manufacturing specifications, each unit is anticipated to take two hours to complete. The company's actual payroll costs were $158,200. If the standard labor cost per hour is $11, Denver's labor efficiency variance is: Question 18 options: $11,300 (U). $11,000 (U). $11,000 (F). $11,300 (F).
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $11,000 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Denver Co. recently used 14,000 labor hours to produce 7,500 units. According to manufacturing specifications, each unit is anticipated to take two hours to complete. The standard labor cost per hour is $11.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (2*7,500 - 14,000)*11

"Winston tells Lenita that he prefers to form an S corporation because he does not want to attach "LLC" to the name of the company. Lenita responds that the option of an S corporation is not available for their situation. Is she correct
Answer:
D. Yes, because all the owners are not U.S. citizens.
Explanation:
This question is not incomplete.
Please find the incomplete information below.
Winston and Noe patented a mechanism that will change open heart surgery forever. They are setting up a business to produce and sell their invention to hospitals and will take advantage of Noe's non-U.S. citizenship to help with sales in international markets. They hire Lenita, a corporate lawyer, to assist in setting up their business. Winston's largest concern is taxes. Noe, on the other hand, doesn't want to bother keeping corporate minutes and having board meetings as he is too busy. Both are concerned about being sued personally for products liability
As it is mentioned in the question that Winston and Noe wanted to set up a business for producing and selling an invention so that it would result in taking the advantage of non-U.S. citizenship so t it would help in an international market sales. For that, they hired Lenita, who is a corporate lawyer. At the same time, both the point of view is different. But they being sued for liability of products personally.
In the given scenario, Lanita is correct for the non-availability of the S corporation option as all the owners do not belong from U.S citizens.
Beamish Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operations: Number of units produced 3,700 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 132 Direct labor $ 93 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 12 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $148,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $288,600 There were no beginning or ending inventories. The absorption costing unit product cost was:
Answer:
Absorption costing unit product cost = $270 per unit
Explanation:
Absorption costing values unit produced using the full cost per unit.
It categories cost as production and non-production cost
Full cost per unit =Direct labour cost + direct material cost + Variable production overhead + fixed production overhead
Fixed prod overhead per unit = Total fixed production overhead/Number of units
= $148,000/3,700 units=$40 per unit
Full cost per unit = 132+ 93+ 5 + 40 = $270 per unit
Absorption costing unit = $270 per unit
If an organization tracks its strategy implementation, looks for problem areas, evaluates whether the problem areas indicate any weakness in the strategy, and makes any necessary changes, then it is using:
Question:
If an organization tracks its strategy implementation, looks for problem areas, evaluates whether the problem areas indicate any weakness in the strategy, and makes any necessary changes, then it is using:
A) Organizational controls
B) Tactical controls
C) Behavioral controls
D) Strategic controls
Answer:
The correct option is D) Strategic controls
Explanation:
Strategic controls refer to the process which helps one to easily and immediately change direction where if proposed strategies do not create anticipated results.
For example, if a company X, decides to reduce prices to drive sales and increase market share albeit, at a cost to its bottom line, where there is no increase in sales, an effective strategic control process would be to quickly reverse the situation to the status quo before implementation and thereafter go back to the drawing table to check why demand is low.
Demand could be weak because, quality of products, or services, do not meet consumer expectations, it could be that there is a violation of one of the 'P' of marketing such as Positioning.
The head of strategy thus reviews and plans the next move to ensure that changes are effected.
Cheers!
If annual demand is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is $6 per order, and the holding cost is $2.50 per unit per year, which of the following is the optimal order quantity using the fixed-order quantity model?
A. 421
B. 234
C. 78
D. 26
E. 312
Answer:
240 units
Explanation:
We can find Optimal order quantity easily by Optimal order quantity formula using the fixed order quantity formula
Formula:: Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = Ordering cost per order
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost per unit
Calculations
Lets put in the values
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2*6*12000}{2.5} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = 240 units
Note: There must have been a mistake in question options the answer is 240 and closest to 240 is option B
Suppose you are trying to decide whether to invest in a company that generates a high expected ROE, and you want to conduct further analysis on the company’s performance. If you wanted to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, you would: Compare the firm’s financial ratios for the current year with its ratios in previous years Compare the firm’s financial ratios with other firms in the industry for the current year
Answer:
Compare the firm’s financial ratios with other firms in the industry for the current year
Explanation:
return on equity (ROE) = net income / stockholders' equity
it measures how profitable the company is according the amount of money that stockholders' invested in it.
Since you are trying to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, it doesn't make sense to compare the current financial ratios with the financial ratios of previous years. If you want to compare the current year, you must compare the current financial ratios to the ratios of other companies in the same industry or the industry as a whole.

An investment will pay $200 at the end the year, $250 at the end of the next year, $400 at the end of the third year, and $500 at the end of the 4th year. Other investments of equal risk earn 6%. How much is this investment worth today
Answer:
PV= $1,143.03
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
An investment will pay $200 at the end of the year, $250 at the end of the next year, $400 at the end of the third year, and $500 at the end of the 4th year. Other investments of equal risk earn 6%.
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Cf1= 200/1.06= 188.68
Cf2= 250/1.06^2= 222.50
Cf3= 400/1.06^3= 335.85
Cf4= 500/1.06^4= 396
PV= $1,143.03
On January 1, 2021, Pharoah, Inc. signed a 10-year noncancelable lease for a heavy duty drill press. the lease stipulated annual payments of $340,000 starting at the beginning of the first year, with title passing to Pharoah at the expiration of the lease. Pharoah treated this transaction as a finance lease. The drill press has an estimated useful life of 15 years, with no salvage value. Pharoah uses straight-line depreciation for all of its plant assets. Aggregate lease payments were determined to have a present value of $2,002,339, based on implicit interest of 11%.In its 2021 income statement, what amount of interest expense should Pharoah report from this lease transaction
Answer:
$182,857.29
Explanation:
Here, Pharoah, Inc. average lease payments have a present value of $2,002,339
First lease payment = $340,000
Interest rate = 11%
To find the interest rate, first deduct the first lease payment.
$2,002,339 - $340,000
= $1,662,339
This is deducted so as to reduce total lease liability.
Find the amount of interest expense:
$1,662,339 × interest rate
= $1,662,339 × 11%
= $182,857.29
In its 2021 income statement, the amount of interest expense Pharoah should report from this lease transaction is $182,857.29
In December of 2021, XL Computer's internal auditors discovered that office equipment costing $800,000 was charged to expense in 2019. The asset had an expected life of 10 years with no residual value. XL would have recorded a half year of depreciation in 2019.
Required:
Prepare the necessary correcting entry that would be made in 2016 (ignore income taxes), and the entry to record depreciation for 2021.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entries are shown below:-
1. Office equipment Dr, $800,000
To Accumulated depreciation-equipment $120,000
To Retained earnings $680,000
(Being office equipment is recorded)
Here we debited the office equipment as assets is increasing and we credited the accumulated depreciation-equipment as assets is decreasing and retained earning as stockholder is increasing.
2. Depreciation expenses Dr, $80,000
To Accumulated depreciation-equipment $80,000
(Being depreciation expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the depreciation expenses as it increasing the expenses and we credited the accumulated depreciation-equipment as decreases the assets.
Working note
Depreciation
For 2019
= $800,000 ÷ 10 years
= $80,000 × 6 ÷ 12
= $40,000
For 2020
= $800,000 ÷ 10 years
= $80,000
Total = $40,000 + $80,000
= $120,000
