Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The variable cost per rental return is $4.04.

b. The monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars is $1,376.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Rental Returns (x), Car Wash Costs (y), xy, and x^2.

Since Σ = Total of or summation of, we can therefore obtain the following from the attached excel file:

Σx = 34,854

Σy = 157,317

Σxy = 462,541,971

Σx^2 = 102,623,516

N = Number of months = 12

a. calculation of variable cost per rental return

To calculate the variable cost per rental return, the following formula is used:

Variable cost per rental return = (NΣxy − ΣxΣy) /((NΣx²) − (Σx)²) ……………… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Variable cost per rental return = ((12 * 462,541,971) - (34,854 * 157,317)) / (((12 * 102,623,516) - 34,854^2)

Variable cost per rental return = 4.03917240317595

Rounding to 2 decimal places as required, we have:

Variable cost per rental return = $4.04

Therefore, the variable cost per rental return is $4.04.

b. Calculation of monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars

To calculate the monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars, the following formula is used:

Fixed Cost per month =  {Σy - (Variable cost per rental return * Σx) / N ....... (2)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

Fixed Cost per month = (157,317 - (4.04 * 34,854)) / 12

Fixed Cost per month = $1,375.57

Rounding to the nearest whole dollar amount as required, we have:

Fixed Cost per month = $1,376

Therefore, the monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars is $1,376.

Answer 2

The variable cost per rental return is $4.04 and the fixed cost per month is $1378.

The following can be depicted from the question

Σx = 34,854

Σy = 157,317

Σxy = 462,541,971

Σx² = 102,623,516

N = number of months = 12

Variable cost per rental return will be:

= ( N Σxy − Σx Σy)/{(N Σx²) − (Σx)²}

= {( 12 × 462,541,971) - (34,854 × 157,317) } / {(12 ×102,623,516) - (34,854)²}

= (5,550,503,652 - 5,483,126,718) / (1231482192 - 1214801316)

= 67,376,934 / 16680876

= $4.04

Fixed Cost per month will be:

=  {Σy - ( Variable cost per rental return × Σx )/N

= {157,317 - (4.04 × 34,854)} /12

= ( 157,317 - 140,810.16) /12

= $1378

On August 1, 2016, Grahame issued hree-quarters of the bonds at a premium of $25,400.
Prepare the journal entries that would be required relating to the bonds over period March 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.

Answers

Answer:

Grahame, Inc.

Journal Entries:

March 1, 2015:

No journal entry.  A memorandum record is made to recognize that $800,000 bonds payable were authorized to be issued, at an interest rate of 6% with a maturity period of 12 years.

August 1, 2016:

Debit Cash $625,400

Credit Bonds Payable $600,000

Credit Bonds Premium $25,400

To record the issue of 3/4 of the $800,000 bonds payable at a premium of $25,400.

September 30, 2016:

Debit Interest Expense $5,647

Credit Interest Payable $5,647

To accrue interest on bonds payable.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Authorized bonds payable = $800,000

Rate of interest = 6%

Bonds maturity period = 12 years

Interest payable on the bonds on February 28 and August 31st.

Issued bonds payable = $600,000 ($800,000 * 3/4)

Date of issue = August 1, 2016

Interest Expense = $600,000 * 6% * 2/12 = $6,000

Bonds Premium amortization = $25,400/12 * 2/12 = $353

The interest expense will be reduced by $353 to $5,647 ($6,000 - 353)

Kingbird, Inc. reported net sales of $267,000, cost of goods sold of $160,200, operating expenses of $48,900, net income of $42,720, beginning total assets of $532,300, and ending total assets of $618,100. Calculate profit margin and gross profit rate. (Round answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 10.2%.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Profit margin = Net income ÷ Net sales

= $42,720 ÷ $267,000

= 16%

Now the gross profit rate is  

But before that the gross profit is

Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

= $267,000 - $160,200

= $106,800

Now Gross profit rate is

= Gross profit ÷  Net sales

= $106,800 ÷ $267,000

II. State the facts of the company's financial situation.

III. Inform employees that they will receive a 15% pay cut.

IV. Close with forward looking statement.

Explanation:

The company's financial situation has led the managers to decide for a pay cut instead of lay off to improve the financial position of the company and stay in the budget. The company should appraise employees that they understand the company's situation and are willing to accept the pay cut. The director should inform employees about the current financial situation and provide details about the pay cut plan. The email should close with a forward looking statement and a statement that as soon as the situation of company gets better the employees will receive full salaries as always.

Adjusting Journal Entry for the inventory shrinkage for the year ended December 31:

Debit 510 Cost of Merchandise Sold $3,180

Credit 130 Merchandise Inventory $3,180

To record inventory shrinkage.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Merchandise inventory on December 31 = $397,250

Physical inventory on December 31 = $394,070

Shrinkage = $3,180

b) Inventory Shrinkage is a cost to the business.  It occurs when the physical inventory count yields an amount that is less than the amount in the accounting records.  It may happen for some reasons, including theft, errors, damage, or loss.  The best way to record inventory shrinkage is to debit the Cost of Goods Sold and to credit the Inventory account.

Treasury Stock Facts Target Inc. arranged to purchase a large block of its common stock from a major shareholder. The total number of shares purchased is 10,000 and these shares are to be held as treasury shares. Target Inc. uses the cost method to account for treasury shares. This shareholder had a controlling interest before the transaction. After the transaction this shareholder no longer has a controlling interest. Given these facts, to induce the shareholder to sell the block of stock Target Inc. was forced to pay an amount in excess of the current market price of the stock. Target Inc. paid the shareholder $40 per share when the market price was $30 per share.Question How should Target Inc. account for the purchase of this treasury stock?a. Provide a brief written description of the proper accounting treatment, including how the extra $10 paid per share is recorded.b. Prepare a formal journal entry to record the treasury stock transaction.c. Identify the specific paragraph of the FASB Codification which addresses this issue.

Answers

Answer:

Target Inc.

a. Under the cost method, as adopted by Target Inc., the cost of acquiring the treasury stock is debited to the Treasury Stock account and credited to the Cash account.  This means that there is no differentiation of the extra $10 just as there is no differentiation between the par-value and the cost of acquiring each share.

b. Journal Entry:

Debit Treasury Stock $40,000

Credit Cash $40,000

To record the repurchase of 10,000 shares at $40 each.

c. The FASB Codification which addresses Treasury Stock accounting is called Codification Topic 505-30.  The cost of treasury stock is reported separately from the gain or loss.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total number of shares purchased = 10,000

Price paid for the purchase = $40

Market price of the share = $30

Extra cost paid = $10

b) Two methods are adopted for recording treasury stock.  There is the par-value method.  This method records the treasury stock at the par value multiplied by the number of treasury stock.  The difference in the purchase cost and the par-value is then recorded in the Additional Paid-in Capital account.  The other method is the cost method.  Here, the cost of acquiring the treasury stock (not the par-value) is recorded in the Treasury Stock account, with a credit entry to the Cash account. Treasury Stock account is a contrary account to the stockholders' equity, and as a result, is a deduction from the amounts in the Stockholders' Equity in the balance sheet, in both cases.

A firm must choose between two investment alternatives, each costing $105,000. The first alternative generates $35,000 a year for four years. The second pays one large lump sum of $152,500 at the end of the fourth year. If the firm can raise the required funds to make the investment at an annual cost of 9 percent, what are the present values of two investment alternatives

Answers

Answer:

Present Value of first option:

= -105,000 + 35,000/ (1 + 9%) + 35,000/(1 + 9%)² + 35,000/(1 + 9%)³ + 35,000/(1 + 9%)⁴

= -105,000 + 113,390.19

= $8,390.20

Present Value of second option:

= -105,000 + 152,500/ (1 + 9%)⁴

= -105,000 + 108,034.84

= $3,034.84

Consider a firm with an EBIT of $11,400,000. The firm finances its assets with $51,800,000 debt (costing 7.4 percent) and 10,900,000 shares of stock selling at $8.00 per share. The firm is considering increasing its debt by $25,000,000, using the proceeds to buy back shares of stock. The firm is in the 30 percent tax bracket. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain at $11,400,000. Calculate the EPS before and after the change in capital structure and indicate changes in EPS. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares

EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares

Difference = $ 0.029

Explanation:

Calculation of EPS before the change in capital structure :

Particulars                                                                         Amount

EBIT                                                                           $ 11,400,000  

Interest Cost                                                                    $ 3,833,200 (51,800,000×7.4%)

Earning After Interest                                                    $ 7,566,800

Tax ( 30% )                                                                        $ 2,270,040

Net Profit after tax                                                            $ 5,296,760

Number of Shares outstanding                                     $ 10,900,000

Earning Per Shares                                                      $0.486

Calculation of EPS after the change in capital structure :

Particulars                                                                         Amount

EBIT                                                                             $ 11,400,000

Interest Cost                                                                     $ 5,683,200  

( $ 76,800,000×7.4%)

Earning After Interest                                                     $ 5,716,800

Tax ( 30%)                                                                     $ 1,715,040

Net Profit after tax                                                             $40,01,760

Number of Shares outstanding                                     77,75,000

Earning Per Shares                                                       $0.515

∴ we get

EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares

EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares

Difference = $ 0.486 - 0.515 = $ 0.029

Fox Corporation has provided its contribution format income statement for June. The company produces and sells a single product: sales (2,700 units), $261,900; variable costs, $102,600; contribution margin, $159,300; fixed costs, $136,300; and operating profit, $23,000.If the company sells 3,000 units, its total contribution margin should be closest to _____.A. $25,556

Answers

Answer:

Total contribution margin= $177,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin / number of units

Unitary contribution margin= 159,300 / 2,700

Unitary contribution margin= $59

Now, the total contribution margin for 3,000 units:

Total contribution margin= 3,000*59

Total contribution margin= $177,000

Answers

Answer:

Bricks and Clicks - Retail Stores

Retail stores such as Walmart use a bricks and clicks model to ensure they sell as much as possible. Bricks and clicks refers to having both an online and an offline (physical location) presence where customers can come and buy in person if they want.

Grocery Stores - Shopkeeper

Grocery Stores are usually bricks and mortar which means that they are a physical location. This physical location is usually small and in need of being managed by a shopkeeper.

Insurance company A and B both are life insurance companies that pay claims to a designated beneficiary upon death of an insured life. Company A insures 10,000 lives and expects to receive 525 claims this year. Company B insures 8,700 lives and expects to receive 410 claims this year. The actual number of claims for company A will range 500 < 550. The actual number of claims for company B will range from 369 < 451. Who faces the most objective risk

Answers

Answer:

Company B will faces the most objective risk

Explanation:

Company A: As Company A, insures 10,000 lives and expects to receive 525 claims this year.

They will end up saving 947,500,000 and paying 52,500,000 (525 claims*100,000), considering each claim value to be 100,000. Here goes the calculation:

10,000 x 100,000 = 1,000,000,000

1,000,000,000 - 52,500,000 = 947,500,000.

Company B: As Company B, insures 8,700 lives and expects 410 claims this year.

They will end up saving 829,000,000 and paying 41,000,000 (410 claims x 100,000), considering each claim value to be 100,000. Here goes the calculation:

8700 x 100,000 = 870,000,000

870,000,000 - 41,000,000 = 829,000,000.

Hence, the margin of profit is good for company A. Company B will have the face the risk more.

Patterson Corporation expects to incur $70,000 of factory overhead and $60,000 of general and administrative costs next year. Direct labor costs at $5 per hour are expected to total $50,000. If factory overhead is to be applied per direct labor hour, how much overhead will be applied to a job incurring 20 hours of direct labor

Answers

Answer:

$140

Explanation:

With regards to the above, since the factory overhead is to be applied per direct labor hour

= [$70,000 ÷ ($50,000 ÷ $5) 20 hours]

= $70,000 ÷ 10,000 × 20 hours

= $7 × 20 hours

= $140

Therefore, $120 will be applied to job incurring 20 hours of direct labor

Finally, we can see that the loyalty index of the customer in question is 2,625

Bi-Lo Traders is considering a project that will produce sales of $44,800 and have costs of $25,700. Taxes will be $4,500 and the depreciation expense will be $2,650. An initial cash outlay of $2,100 is required for net working capital. What is the project's operating cash flow?

Answers

Answer:

$10,700

Explanation:

Operating cash flow is computed as;

= Net income + non cash expenses - outlay in working capital

First, we'll determine the net income

Net income = Sales $44,800 - cost $27,500 depreciation expense $2,650 - Taxes $4,500

Net income = $10,150

Operating cash flow = $10,150 + $2,650 - $2,100 = $10,700

Machine 2's seller purchased it for $64,750 and Machine 2's adjusted basis was $55,250 at the time of the exchange. What is Koch's adjusted basis in machine 2 after the exchange

Answers

Answer:

acc depreciation mchine 1         35,000

machine 1                                    75,000

The seller valuation are not relevant the important is the fair value. Which is 50,000.

If there was commercial substance we will recognize a gain for 5,000

(50,000 fair value - 45,000 book value)

However, we are not given with information of commercial substance, so we should not recognize any gain or loss in trade.

The machine 2 will enter the accounting for the same value as the previous machine net book.
