Answer:
Total number of unemployed (March)= 12,256,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total labor force= 120 million
Unemployed people (January)= 10 million
Each month, 2% of the workers who are employed at the beginning of the month lose their job, and 10% of the workers who are unemployed at the beginning of the month find a job.
First, we will calculate the unemployed and employed people for February:
New Unemployed= 110,000,000*0.02= 2,200,000
New employed= 10,000,000*0.1= 1,000,000
Total number of unemployed= 10,000,000 + 2,200,000 - 1,000,000= 11,200,000
Total number of employed= 110,000,000 + 1,000,000 - 2,200,000= 108,800,000
Now, for March:
New Unemployed= 108,800,000*0.02= 2,176,000
New employed= 11,200,000*0.1= 1,120,000
Total number of unemployed= 11,200,000 + 2,176,000 - 1,120,000= 12,256,000
Total number of employed= 108,800,000 + 1,120,000 - 2,176,000= 107,744,000
Striker Company estimates its expected cash receipts for the period to be $80,000 and its expected cash disbursements to be $70,000. The beginning cash balance for the period was $5,000. The management wants to maintain a minimum cash balance of $40,000. Knowledge Check 01 How much cash will the company need to borrow
Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How much cash will the company need to borrow
Cash needed to borrow=$40,000 - (($80,000 - $70,000) + $5,000).
Cash needed to borrow=$40,000+$10,000-$5,000
Cash needed to borrow=$25,000
Therefore How much cash will the company need to borrow is $25,000
Deviations from informational efficiency would result in a large cost that will be borne by all participants, namely inefficient resource allocation. Corporations with overpriced securities, for example, would be able to obtain capital too expensively while undervalued companies might forgo investment opportunities because the cost of raising capital would be too low.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Deviations from informational efficiency does in fact result in a large cost for all participants however the effects given in the question are false.
If there is a deviation from informational efficiency, overpriced companies would be viewed as performing well enough to get capital at a cheaper rate because they would be viewed as less of a risk.
Undervalued companies would get capital at a higher cost because they would be viewed as less likely to pay back the capital when in fact they are not valued at their proper value which would have shown that they would be able to pay off the capital acquired.

Answer:
uses historical financial statements to measure a company's performance and in making financial projections of future performance.
Explanation:
Financial accounting is an accounting technique used for analyzing, summarizing and reporting of financial transactions like sales costs, purchase costs, payables and receivables of an organization using standard financial guidelines such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and financial accounting standards board (FASB).
Financial analysis uses historical financial statements to measure a company's performance and in making financial projections of future performance.
In Financial accounting, the horizontal financial analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

The 2017 balance sheet of Kerber's Tennis Shop, Inc., showed long-term debt of $6.4 million, and the 2018 balance sheet showed long-term debt of $6.6 million. The 2018 income statement showed an interest expense of $225,000. During 2018, the company had a cash flow to creditors of $25,000 and the cash flow to stockholders for the year was $80,000. Suppose you also know that the firm’s net capital spending for 2018 was $1,490,000, and that the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $93,000. What was the firm’s 2018 operating cash flow, or OCF? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
$1,452,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the firm’s 2018 operating cash flow
First step is to calculate the Cash flow from assets using this formula
Cash flow from assets= Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to stockholders
Let plug in the morning
Cash flow from assets=-$25,000 + $80,000= $55,000
Now let calculate Cash flow from assets using this formula
Cash flow from assets = OCF capital - Net capital spending-Change in Net Capital spending
Let plug in the formula
$55,000=OCF-$1,490,000-($93,000)
OCF=$1,490,000+$55,000-$93,000
OCF=$1,452,000
Therefore the firm’s 2018 operating cash flow is $1,452,000

Gross profit 8,100
Operating expenses 3,510
Net income 5,330
1. Prepare a condensed cost of goods manufactured schedule for case 1.
2. Prepare an income statement for case 1.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Case 1.
Total manufacturing costs
= Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $9,780 + $5,950 + $8,870 = $24,000
Ending work in process inventory
= Opening work in process + total manufacturing cost - cost of goods manufacturing
= $1,510 + $24,600 - $17,970 = $8,140
Beginning finished goods inventory
= Cost of goods sold - cost of goods manufactured + closing finished goods inventory
= $19,140 - $17,970 + $3,720 = $4,890
Cost of goods sold
= Opening finished good inventory + cost of goods manufactured - closing finished goods inventory
= $4,890 + $17,970 - $3,720 = $19,140
Gross profit
= Sales - cost of goods sold
= $25,780 - $2,810 - $19,140 = $3,830
Net income
= Gross profit - Operating expense
= $3,830 - $3,510 = $320
*Condensed cost of goods manufactured schedule

Lauer Corporation uses the periodic inventory system and has provided the following information about one of its laptop computers: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 100 $ 800 5/5 Purchase 200 $ 900 8/10 Purchase 300 $ 1,000 10/15 Purchase 200 $ 1,100 During the year, Lauer sold 750 laptop computers. What was cost of goods sold using the LIFO cost flow assumption
Answer:
$740,000
Explanation:
LIFO assumes that the recent goods bought will be sold first. The Cost of Goods Sold is then calculated on the cost of the recent goods bought.
Cost of Goods Sold = 200 x $1,100 + 300 x $1,000 + 200 x $900 + 50 x $800
= $740,000
Therefore,
Cost of goods sold using the LIFO is $740,000.

On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased a warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $559,946 over a four-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $3.8 million. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
2. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?
3. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021?
(For all requirements, enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
1. Present value
2. Pretax amount for liability Pretax amount for right-of-use asset
3. Pretax amount for interest expense Pretax amount for amortization expense
Answer:
1. $3,800,001
2. Pretax amount of liability $2,842,112
Pre tax amount of right to use asset $3,325,000
3. Pre tax amount of interest expense $162,003
Pre tax amount of amortization expenses $475,000
Explanation:
1. Calculation for the Present value
Using this formula
PV of minimum lease payments used to record right to use assets = Semi Annual lease payments * Cumulative PV Factor of annuity due for 8 periods at 5%
Where,
Semiannual lease payment = $559,946
Total semiannual payments = 4*2 = 8
Incremental borrowing rate = 10%, 5% semiannual
Let plug in the formula
PV of minimum lease payments used to record right to use assets= $559,946 * 6.78637
PV of minimum lease payments used to record right to use assets= $3,800,001
Therefore the Present value will be $3,800,001
2. Calculation for the Pretax amount for liability and Pretax amount for right-of-use asset
Calculation for Pretax amount of liability
First step is to calculate the Pretax amount of liability on 30.06.2021
Pretax amount of liability on 30.06.2021 = ($3,800,001 - $559,946)
Pretax amount of liability on 30.06.2021= $3,240,055
Second step is to calculate the Interest expense for 31.12.2021
Interest expense for 31.12.2021 = $3,240,055 * 5%
Interest expense for 31.12.2021= $162,003
Now let calculate the Pre tax amount for liability December 31, 2021
Pre tax amount for liability December 31, 2021 = $3,240,055 + $162,003 - $559,946
Pre tax amount for liability December 31, 2021= $2,842,112
Therefore The Pre tax amount for liability December 31, 2021 will be $2,842,112
Calculation for Pre tax amount of right to use asset
First step is to calculate the Depreciation on right to use assets for 2021
Depreciation on right to use assets for 2021 = $3,800,000 / 4 * 6/12
Depreciation on right to use assets for 2021 = $475,000
Now let calculate the Pre tax amount of right to use asset to be reported for 2021
Pre tax amount of right to use asset to be reported for 2021 = $3,800,000 - $475,000
Pre tax amount of right to use asset to be reported for 2021 = $3,325,000
Therefore Pre tax amount of right to use asset to be reported for 2021 will be $3,325,000
3. Calculation for Pretax amount for interest expense Pretax amount for amortization expense
Calculation for Pretax amount for interest expense
Pre tax amount of interest expense = $3,240,054 * 5%
Pre tax amount of interest expense= $162,003
Therefore the Pre tax amount of interest expense will be $162,003
Calculation for Pre tax amount of amortization expenses
Pre tax amount of amortization expenses = $3,800,000 / 4 * 6/12
Pre tax amount of amortization expenses = $475,000
Therefore The Pre tax amount of amortization expenses will be $475,000

Presented below is information related to Shamrock Corp., which sells merchandise with terms 2/10, net 60. Shamrock Corp. records its sales and receivables net. July 1 Shamrock Corp. sold to Warren Harding Co. merchandise having a sales price of $15,000. 5 Accounts receivable of $14,300 (gross) are factored with Andrew Jackson Credit Corp. without recourse at a financing charge of 9%. Cash is received for the proceeds; collections are handled by the finance company. (These accounts were all past the discount period.) 9 Specific accounts receivable of $14,300 (gross) are pledged to Alf Landon Credit Corp. as security for a loan of $6,500 at a finance charge of 6% of the amount of the loan. The finance company will make the collections. (All the accounts receivable are past the discount period.) Dec. 29 Warren Harding Co. notifies Shamrock that it is bankrupt and will pay only 10% of its account. Give the entry to write off the uncollectible balance using the allowance method. (Note: First record the increase in the receivable on July 11 when the discount period passed.)
Answer:
Shamrock Corp.
Entry to write off the uncollectible balance of Warren Harding Co.:
Debit Allowance for Uncollectible accounts $13,500
Credit Accounts Receivable $13,500
To write off the uncollectible account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Credit terms = 2/10, net 60. This means that 2% discount is allowed to each customer for making payment within 10 days and the longest credit is 60 days.
Sales to Warren Harding Co = $15,000
Amount debited to Accounts Receivable = 14,700 ($15,000 * 98%)
Amount paid by Warren (10%) = $1,500
Amount to be written off as uncollectible = $13,500
Discount of $300 will be reversed with a debit to the Accounts Receivable and a credit to Discount Allowed (since the Shamrock Corp. records its sales and receivables net.)
Cash of $1,500 will be debited and Accounts Receivable credited to record the 10% of $15,000 cash receipt from Warren Harding Co. The remaining amount, which is $13,500 will be written off with a debit to Allowance for Uncollectible accounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable.
Savers make deposits and investments in order to earn what?
Why don't savers invest their money directly with the businesses?
Answer:
Savers make deposits and investment in order to earn interest on their money. This often works very well because they do not earn only interest as a percentage of their money, but also interest as a percentage of previously accrued interest, something known as compound interest.
Savers do not invest their money directly with the businesses because real economic activity tends to be riskier (although it could also be more profitable for this same reason). This is why they often prefer to invest the money on financial instruments.

Answer:
A. FIFO
Cost of the ending inventory $12,150
Cost of goods sold $52,200
B. LIFO
Cost of the ending inventory $10,800
Cost of goods sold $53,550
C. AVERAGE COST
Cost of the ending inventory $11,700
Cost of goods sold $52,650
Explanation:
A. Computation for the cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under FIFO
Cost of the ending inventory = 90 units*($44,550/330 units)
Cost of the ending inventory=90 units**135
Cost of the ending inventory=$12,150
Cost of goods sold =($44,550+$19,800)-$12,150
Cost of goods sold =$64,350-$12,150
Cost of goods sold =$52,200
2.Computation for the cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under LIFO
Cost of the ending inventory = 90 units*($19,800/165)
Cost of the ending inventory =90 units*$120
Cost of the ending inventory = $10,800
Cost of goods sold =($44,550+$19,800)-$10,800
Cost of goods sold =$64,350-$10,800
Cost of goods sold =$53,550
3.Computation for the cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under Average-cost
Cost of the ending inventory = 90 units*($44,550+$19,800)/(330 units+165 units)
Cost of the ending inventory = 90 units*($64,350/495 units)
Cost of the ending inventory = 90 units*$130
Cost of the ending inventory = $11,700
Cost of goods sold =($44,550+$19,800)-$11,700
Cost of goods sold =$64,350-$11,700
Cost of goods sold =$52,650

A company with various segments (referred to as "divisions") is considering whether to drop its Orange County division. For each the costs described below, indicate whether the cost is avoidable or unavoidable by choosing the related drop-down menu item.
1. Wages paid to the Orange County division employees who work directly for this division and will be discharged if the division is dropped.
2. General administrative expenses allocated to the Orange County division on the basis of sales dollars.
3. Depreciation expense on previously purchased machinery that is used in the Orange County division; the machinery will have no other use or resale value if the division is dropped.
4. Rent paid for the building that houses only the Orange County division.
5. The amount of rent paid to lease a private jet for use by the company's management that is allocated to the Orange County division.
Answer:
1. Avoidable.
These wages are avoidable because they will stop being paid if the division is dropped.
2. Unavoidable.
These are general administrative expenses which means that they will still be incurred regardless of if the division is dropped. They are therefore unavoidable.
3. Unavoidable.
As the machine has no other use or resale value if the division is dropped, the depreciation expense will still be incurred even if the division is dropped so this cost is unavoidable.
4. Avoidable.
Company will no longer have to pay rent if the division is dropped so this expense is an avoidable cost.
5. Unavoidable.
This cost will still be incurred by the company regardless of if the division is dropped because it is an administrative cost at company level. It is therefore unavoidable.
Joe Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $19,950 and variable expenses of $5,985. Product Y45E had sales of $26,190 and variable expenses of $10,476. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $17,000. If the sales mix were to shift toward Product C90B with total dollar sales remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company:
Answer:
Decrease
Explanation:
Calculation to determine overall break-even point for the entire company
Contribution margin for C90B = ($19,950-
$5,985)/$19,950
Contribution margin for C90B = 70%
Contribution margin for Y45E =( $26,190- $10,476)/$26,190
Contribution margin for Y45E= 60%

Madson Company is analyzing several proposed investment projects The firm has resources only for one project Project P Project Q Project R Project S Project T Cost of investment $32,000 $38,200 $57,100 $47,400 $53,000 Net cash flow Year 1 $5,200 $3,200 $4,300 $26,000 $15,900 Year 2 $9,600 $15,300 $16,900 $8,400 $15,800 Year 3 $12,700 $14,700 $21,000 $6,400 $16,100 Year 4 $15,300 $19,300 $31,000 $4,300 $11,000 Year 5 $52,000 $2,100 $10,000 The company uses the payback period method for making capital investment decisions. On the basis of this decision model, which project should be selected? (Ignore taxes.) a. Project T b. Project Q c. Project P d. Project R e. None
Answer:
Madison Company
On the basis of the payback period decision model, the project that should be selected is:
c. Project P
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Project P Project Q Project R Project S Project T
Cost of investment $32,000 $38,200 $57,100 $47,400 $53,000
Net cash flow
Year 1 $5,200 $3,200 $4,300 $26,000 $15,900
Year 2 $9,600 $15,300 $16,900 $8,400 $15,800
Year 3 $12,700 $14,700 $21,000 $6,400 $16,100
Year 4 $15,300 $19,300 $31,000 $4,300 $11,000
Year 5 $52,000 $2,100 $10,000
Total net cash flow $94,800 $54,600 $83,200 $45,100 $58,800
Year 4 Year 4 Year 4 Unable Year 4
b) While four of the five projects pay back within Year 4, Project P has the added advantage of more total cash inflows. It is followed closely by Project R. The payback period as a capital appraisal method relies on counting the years or periods when the project's investment will be recovered. The payback period method does not evaluate projects based on the time value of money unless the modernized discounted payback period method is used.
The payback period method is a method that considers the number of months or years it takes to return the initial investment.
When more than one investment is being considered under payback period, the investment with the shortest payback period will be selected.
Since the net cash inflows of each year for each project is different, the following formula is used in the attached photo to calculate the payback period:
Payback period = A + (X / Y) ………………….. (1)
Where:
A = Year immediately preceding to year of recovery
X = Amount left to be recovered
Z = Cash inflow in the year of final recovery
Before equation (1) is used, cumulative net cash inflows is first calculated as done in the attached photo.
From the attached photo, we have:
Project P’s payback period = 3.29 years
Project Q’s payback period = 3.26 years
Project R’s payback period = 3.48 years
Project S’s payback period = after 5 years
Project T’s payback period = 3.47 years
Based on above the above, b. Project Q should be selected because it has the shortest payback period which is 3.26 years.

Different compounding periods, are used for different types of investments. In order to properly compare investments or loans with different compounding periods, we need to put them on a common basis. In order to do this, you need to understand the difference between the nominal interest rate (INOM) and the effective annual rate (EAR). The ____________ interest rate is quoted by borrowers and lenders, and it is also called the annual percentage rate (APR). If the compounding periods for different securities is the same, then you -Select- use the APR for comparison. If the securities have different compounding periods, then the __________ must be used for comparison.Here, M is the number of compounding periods per year and INOM/M is equal to the periodic rate (IPER). If a loan or investment uses ____________ compounding, then the nominal interest rate is also its effective annual rate. However, if compounding occurs more than once a year, EAR is _____________ INOM.
Answer:

Explanation:
The Nominal interest rate is quoted by borrowers and lenders, and it is also called the annual percentage rate (APR).
If the securities have different compounding periods, then the EAR must be used for comparison.
If a loan or investment uses annual compounding, then the nominal interest rate is also its effective annual rate.
However, if compounding occurs more than once a year, EAR is higher than INOM.

Finch Modems has excess production capacity and is considering the possibility of making and selling paging equipment. The following estimates are based on a production and sales volume of 1,600 pagers. Unit-level manufacturing costs are expected to be $26. Sales commissions will be established at $1.60 per unit. The current facility-level costs, including depreciation on manufacturing equipment ($66,000), rent on the manufacturing facility ($56,000), depreciation on the administrative equipment ($13,800), and other fixed administrative expenses ($74,950), will not be affected by the production of the pagers. The chief accountant has decided to allocate the facility-level costs to the existing product (modems) and to the new product (pagers) on the basis of the number of units of product made (i.e., 5,600 modems and 1,600 pagers). Required a. Determine the per-unit cost of making and selling 1,600 pagers. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. Assuming the pagers could be sold at a price of $40 each, should Finch make the pagers
Answer:
a). Per unit cost = $ 159.31
b). Yes, Finch Modems should make the pagers.
Explanation:
a). Facility level cost proposed to be allocated to the pager line
[tex]$=\frac{1600}{5600+1600} \times (66,000+56,000+13,800+74,950)$[/tex]
= 0.22 + 210750
= $ 210750.22
Facility cost per unit of pager = [tex]$\frac{210750.22}{1600}$[/tex] = $ 131.71
Cost per unit of pager = $ 26 + $ 1.60 + $ 131.71
= $ 159.31
b). At the selling price of $ 40 per unit, the pager line will result in an operational loss, the profit for the company as a whole will increase if it decides to manufacture the pagers.
Contribution margin per unit of pager = $ 40 - ( $ 26 + $ 1.60)
= $ 15.6
Total contribution margin per unit of pager = 1600 x $ 15.6
= $ 24,960
The net operating income for the company would increase by $ 24.960 if the pagers are added to its product portfolio.
Hence Finch Modems should make the pagers.

Debit : Depreciation $1,800
Credit : Accumulated Depreciation $1,800
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation based on the formula :
Depreciation Expense = Cost - Salvage Value ÷ Estimated Useful Life
Depreciation Expense = ($10,000 - $1,000) ÷ 5 = $1,800
n January 1, 2022, Smeder Company, an 80% owned subsidiary of Collins, Inc. transferred equipment with a 10-year life (six of which remain with no salvage value) to Collins in exchange for $104,000 cash. At the date of transfer, Smeder's records carried the equipment at a historical cost of $140,000 less accumulated depreciation of $58,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. Smeder reported net income of $28,000 for 2022 and 2023, respectively. Prepare the consolidation entries related to the equipment for year 2022 and year 2023
Answer:
2022
Dr. Equipment _________ $22,000
Cr.Reserve Account _____$19,800
Cr. Depreciation expenses $2,200
2022
Dr. Depreciation Expense ___ $14,000
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $14,000
2023
Dr. Depreciation Expense ___ $14,000
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $14,000
Explanation:
2022
Calculate the net book value
Net book value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciatin = $140,000 - $58,000 = $82,000
Unrealised profit on the sale of the asset = Cash receipt - Nreet book value = $104,000 - $82,000 = $22,000
Annual Depricaiton = Historical cost / remaining life = $140,000 / 10 = $14,000
Excess depreciation charged = Unrealised profit / Remaining life = $22,000 / 10 = $2,200
You are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. The insurance company informs you that you have two options for receiving the insurance proceeds. You can receive a one-time cash of $200,000 today or receive payments of $1,400 a month starting at the end of this month for 20 years. Assuming the APR is 6 percent with monthly compounding, which option should you take and why
Answer:
Option 1 PV lumpsum = $200000
Option2 PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08
Based on the present value of both the options, Option 1 should be chosen as it has a higher present value than option 2.
Explanation:
To decide on the best option to choose among the given two, we need to find the present value of both the options.
As the first option is to receive a lumpsum payment of $200000 today, the present value of this option is also equal to $200000 as it will be received today.
Option two, on the other hand, is an annuity as fixed payments will be received after equal intervals of time and for a limited time period and at the end of the period which satisfies the criteria of annuity ordinary. We will use the formula for the present value of annuity which is,
PV of Annuity = C * [( 1 - (1+r)^-n) / r]
Where,
C is the periodic paymentr is the rate of return of discount raten is the number of periodsThe periodic payment is provided as $1400. We are also provided with and APR of 6% which is the Annual rate. We will have to convert it into monthly rate by dividing it by 12. We are also provided with the number of years which we will need to convert into number of months by multiplying it by 12.
Monthly r = 6%/12 = 0.5%
Number of periods = 20 * 12 = 240
PV of Annuity = 1400 * [( 1 - (1+0.5%)^-240) / 0.5%]
PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08
