Care means meeting the needs of ourselves and others. Ethics of care involves practising virtues as it maintain relationship and promote the well-being of those who give and receive care in social relations. It is hinged on the theory of what makes an action right or wrong.
Ideally, ethics of care is inspired to take care of the less privilege, the dependants and vulnerable. It place relevance on relationships, responsibility, concern over traditional rule. Ethics of care recognize that human relationships are not similar or do not perfectly match up hence incorporate this fact into the view and claiming that moral duty is partially determined by how vulnerable a person is in a relationship.
While ethics of care seems to place emphasis on social well being of vulnerable, yet it has being a foremost part of ethical issues among professionals such as medical practitioners.
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
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.

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

Explanation:
A company issued 1,000 shares of $10 par value common stock due to a previously declared stock dividend; the market value at both the date of declaration and distribution was $12 per share. Which of the following correctly describes the reporting of this stock issue within the financing activities section of the cash flow statement?
a) A cash outflow of $10,000
b) A cash outflow of $2,000
c) A cash outflow of $12,000
d) There is no cash flow
Answer:
d) There is no cash flow
Explanation:
There is no cash flow because a stock dividend refers to a dividend that is paid by issuing additional shares to shareholders of a company instead of paying them a cash dividend.
Therefore, there is no cash flow since no cash is received nor paid.
Note: To record stock dividends, the amounts is moved from retained earnings to paid-in capital; and the evidence that no cash is received nor paid is that the journal entries for the issue of stock dividend will be as follows:
Debit Retained for $12,000 (i.e. 1,000 * $12 = $12,000)
Credit Common Stock for $10,000 (i.e. 1,000 - $10 = $10,000)
Credit Additional Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par - Common Stock for $2,000 ($12,000 - $10,000)

Shannon's physician gives her some pain medication and tells her not to drive after she takes it, as the medication induces drowsiness. In spite of the doctor's warning, Shannon decides to drive to the store while on the medication. Owing to her lack of alertness, she fails to stop at a traffic light and crashes into another vehicle, causing a passenger in that vehicle to be injured.
Answer:
C). Shannon's physician gives her some pain medication and tells her not to drive after she takes it, as the medication induces drowsiness. In spite of the doctor's warning, Shannon decides to drive to the store while on the medication. Owing to her lack of alertness, she fails to stop at a traffic light and crashes into another vehicle, causing a passenger in that vehicle to be injured.
Explanation:
Negligence is defined as the 'tort whereby a duty of reasonable or standard care as defined by law is breached, causing damage or any conduct short of .'
In the above situation, Shanon was aware of the after-effects of the medication she took as her physician instructs her to not drive because she may feel drowsy. Despite this warning, her decision to drive to the store reflects her negligence i.e. 'intentional action that falls below the legal standard for preventing unreasonable damage or harm.' Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Suppose an American worker can make 100 chairs or catch 1,000 fish per day. A Chilean worker, on the other hand, can produce 40 chairs or catch 400 fish per day. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Chile has the comparative advantage in chair production.
b. Both the United States and Chile have a comparative advantage in chair production.
c. Neither the United States nor Chile has a comparative advantage in chair production.
d. The United States has the comparative advantage in chair production.
Answer:
Neither the United States nor Chile has a comparative advantage in chair production.
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
A countrry has absolute advantage if it produces more quantities of a good when compared to another country.
America:
Opportunity cost in producing chairs = 1,000 / 100 = 10
Opportunity cost in fishing = 100 / 1000 = 0.1
For Chile:
Opportunity cost in producing chairs = 400 / 40 = 10
Opportunity cost in fishing = 40/ 400 = 0.1
Neither the United States nor Chile has a comparative advantage in chair production because they produce at the same opportunity cost.

Sarah and First Financial Corp. enter into an oral employment contract under which First Financial Corp. agrees to hire Sarah for five years. Before Sarah begins, First Financial Corp. backs out of the contract. If Sarah sues to enforce the contract,
she will be able to successfully sue to enforce the contract or receive damages for the full five year term.
she will be able to successfully sue to enforce the contract or receive damages for one year of the contract, but the remaining four years will be unenforceable because of the Statute of Frauds.
she will not be able to enforce it, because it is voidable by First Financial since it violates the Statute of Frauds.
she will not be able to enforce it because fixed term employment contracts are illegal.
Answer:
she will not be able to enforce it, because it is voidable by First Financial since it violates the Statute of Frauds.
Explanation:
All contracts that last for more than one year fall under the Statute of Frauds and therefore, must be in writing and signed by both parties. Even if the contract was for one year and one day, it must be in writing. The non-breaching party, Sarah, cannot even sue for damages corresponding to only the first year because the contract is considered to be one and cannot be divided into parts.
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.

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
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $11,000 favorable
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
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%
Orion Flour Mills purchased a new machine and made the following expenditures:
Purchase price
$65,000
Sales tax
5,500
Shipment of machine
900
Insurance on the machine for the first year
600
Installation of machine
1,800
The machine, including sales tax, was purchased on account, with payment due in 30 days. The other expenditures listed above were paid in cash.
Required:
Record the above expenditures for the new machine.
Answer:
When buying PPE, the way to record it is to capitalize every expense that enabled the PPE to be brought to the location required and then set up for use. This includes the actual cost of the machine, the sales taxes (part of purchases price so must be included), the shipment of the machine as well as installation costs.
The Insurance paid (prepaid) is an expense for the period and so will not be capitalized.
Total cost of the machine therefore is;
= 65,000 + 5,500 + 900 + 1,800
= $73,200
Only the machine and the sales tax were purchased on account.
= 65,000 + 5,500
= $70,500
The rest in cash.
Journal Entry is
DR Machinery $73,200
DR Prepaid Insurance $600
CR Cash $3,300
CR Accounts $70,500
(To record purchase of equipment)
As part of the initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $35,017 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship. Of this amount, $1,229 is deemed completely worthless. For the remaining accounts, the partnership will establish a provision for possible future uncollectible accounts of $740. The amount debited to Accounts Receivable for the new partnership is
Answer: $33788
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that as part of the initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $35,017 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship and of this amount, $1,229 is deemed completely worthless.
The amount that will be debited to the accounts receivable for the new partnership will be the difference between the balance of $35017 and the $1229 that is seen as been worthless.
= $35017 - $1229
= $33788
There are many diet aids on the market. They promise immediate weight loss without exercise or a change in diet. Each is accompanied by a testimonial from a satisfied user. If you pay close attention, you will notice that each ad also contains the statement, "Results may vary." Most likely this statement is included to prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from requiring the dietary aid distributor from having to:_______.
Answer:
run corrective advertising
Explanation:
This was likely included to prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from requiring the dietary aid distributor from having to run corrective advertising. This is a sort of punishment placed on an ad company that has made an ad with false or misleading information, in order to correct this they must add a message that is placed on their ads in order to right this wrong. This message can badly hurt the company as it advises the viewers that the company has spread false information.
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
National Java offers to buy 5,000 pounds of coffee beans from Fair Enough Coffee, Inc. without stating a price. Fair Enough accepts the offer. With respect to this arrangement
A. there is a contract, and National Java may set the price at whatever it wishes.
B. there is no contract, because National Java failed to state a price in its offer.
C. there is a contract, and the price will be a reasonable price at the time of delivery.
D. there is a contract, and Fair Enough may set the price at whatever it wishes.
Answer: B. there is no contract, because National Java failed to state a price in its offer.
Explanation:
For a Contract to be legally binding, the most rudimentary of contract rules is required which is that of Offer and Acceptance.
In Offer and Acceptance, one party makes an offer and if the other party has no qualms with the offer they will agree with the offer with the condition being that services will be provided to them by the former and they being the latter will accept those services and then settle their side of the bargain. Their side of the bargain will be whatever it is that the former wants for providing the services that they will.
Should the former party not state what it is they want for their services then the latter cannot know what it is they should do to fulfil their side of the contract so the contract cannot stand.
National Java did not state what it wanted for providing 5,000 lbs of coffee beans so Fair Enough Coffee cannot know what to pay them for it. There is no contract.

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
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
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
A one-year and two-year bonds currently pays 1.2% and 1.6%, respectively. What is the expected interest rate on a one-year bond next year according to the liquidity premium theory if the two-year term premium is 0.1%
Answer: 1.8%
Explanation:
Liquidity Premium theory posits that investors prefer more liquid securities to less liquid ones.
It can also be used to calculate expected interest by relating to other bond returns.
The formula is;
Interest Rate expected in nth year = (Sum of individual interest rates in n years)/n + Liquidity Premium in nth year
The premium provided is for the two - year bond and the return on the 2 year bond is also given.
Plugging the figures in gives;
1.6% = (1.2% + One year bond expected interest) / 2 + 0.1%
1.6% - 0.1% = (1.2% + interest) / 2
1.5% * 2 = 1.2% + interest
3% = 1.2% + interest
Interest = 3% - 1.2%
Interest = 1.8%
Bobbi and Stuart are partners. The partnership capital of Bobbi is $35,300 and that of Stuart is $77,700. Bobbi sells his interest in the partnership to John for $55,900. The journal entry to record the admission of John as a new partner would include a credit to a.Stuart's capital account for $56,500 b.John's capital account for $35,300 c.John's capital account for $55,900 d.John's capital account for $35,300 and a credit to Stuart's capital account for $77,700
Answer:
The correct answer is:
John's capital account for $35,300 (c.)
Explanation:
In the admission of a new partner, the purchase of ownership from an existing partner to a new partner is entirely a personal transaction between the existing partner and the new partner, and the extent of partner bonus (the interest sold on the original partnership amount) is acquired by the exiting partner, but this bonus is not reflected in the partnership agreement, hence the amount credited into the new partner's account is the same as that owned previously by the exiting partner, irrespective of how much the partnership ownership was sold for.
Hence, since Bobbi's partnership capital was $35,300, John's account would be credited with the same amount even if the ownership was sold for $55,900, as the bonus goes to Bobbi.
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.
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.
A project with an initial investment of $451,700 will generate equal annual cash flows over its 8-year life. The project has a required return of 8.9 percent. What is the minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project
Answer:
$81,307.55
Explanation:
The minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project is the equal annual cash flow that makes net present value of the project to be at least equal to zero. In other words, it is the equal annual cash flow that equates the initial investment and the summation of the present values (PV) of all the 8-year equal annual cash flow.
This can be estimated as using the formula for calculating the ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present values of equal annual cash flow that is equal to Initial investment = $451,700
P = annual cash flow = ?
r = required return = 8.9% = 0.089
n = number of years = 8
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
$451,700 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.089)]^8} ÷ 0.089]
$451,700 = P × 5.55544994023063
P = $451,700 / 5.55544994023063
P = $81,307.5457181148
P = $81,307.55 when approximated to two decimal places.
Therefore, the minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project is $81,307.55.
"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:

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.
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
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
