11. Pay for supplies purchased in (2) above. Decrease = Decrease + No effect

Explanation:

The accounting equation states that Assets are equal to Liabilities Plus Equity.  This equation remains true for every business transaction, which affects two accounts on either side of the equation.  This keeps the equation in equilibrium or balance with each given transaction.  It is from this equation that the double entry system of accounting was developed and is based.

The impact whether the transaction increases, decreases, or has no effect on assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity is explained below:

1. Issue common stock in exchange for cash. Increase= No effect + Increase

2. Purchase business supplies on account. Increase =  Increase + No effect

3. Pay for legal services for the current month. Decrease = No effect +  Decrease

4. Provide services to customers on account. Increase = No effect +  Increase

5. Pay employee salaries for the current month. Decrease = No effect +  Decrease

6. Provide services to customers for cash. Increase = No effect +  Increase

7. Pay for advertising for the current month. Decrease = No effect +  Decrease

8. Repay loan from the bank. Decrease = Decrease +  No effect

9. Pay dividends to stockholders. Decrease = No effect +  Decrease

10. Receive cash from customers in (4) above. Increase + Decrease = No effect +  No effect

11. Pay for supplies purchased in (2) above. Decrease = Decrease + No effect

A car dealership spends $700,000 on cars to stock their lot. After a day of sales, they earn a total revenue of $1,500,000. What is the car dealership's profit? g

Answers

Answer:

$800,000

Explanation:

The computation of the car dealership profit is shown below:

Car dealership profit is

= Total revenue earned - total cost spent

where,

Total revenue earned is $1,500,000

And, the total cost spent is $700,000

So, the  car dealership profit is

= $1,500,000 - $700,000

= $800,000

We simply deduct the total cost spent from the total revenue earned so that we get to know  car dealership profit

Answers

Answer:

On July 1, 2018, Patton Company should increase its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by?

I will assume that the bonds were purchased on January 2018 and not January 2021.

The journal entry to record the purchase of the bonds was:

January 1, 2018, investment on bonds

Dr Debt Investment 1,500,000

    Cr Cash 1,410,375

    Cr Discount on Debt Investment 89,625

the journal entry to record the interests received on July 1, 2018 would be:

Dr Cash 75,000

Dr Discount on Debt Investment 2,570.63

    Cr Interest revenue 77,570.63

Discount on Debt Investment = ($1,410,375 x 5.5%) - ($1,500,000 x 5%) = $77,570.63 - $75,000 = $2,570.63

Patton company should increase its Debt investment by $2,570.63 (amortized discount).

For the year ended December 31, 2018, Patton Company should report interest revenue from the Scott Company bonds of?

The journal entry to record accrued interests:

Dr Interest receivable 75,000

Dr Discount on Debt Investment 2,712

    Cr Interest revenue 77,712

Discount on Debt Investment = ($1,412,945.63 x 5.5%) - ($1,500,000 x 5%) = $77,712 - $75,000 = $2,712

Total interest revenue for 2018 = $77,570.63 + $77,712 = $155,282.63

Required: a. Prepare a traditional format income statement for July. b. Prepare a contribution format income statement for July.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

I will assume that there is no beginning nor ending inventory.

Absorption costing income statement:

Sales= 6,100*590= 3,599,000

COGS= (6,100*413)= (2,519,300)

Gross profit= 1,079,700

Total selling expense= (6,100*50 + 125,600)= (430,600)

Total administrative expense= (6,100*28 + 207,500)= (378,300)

Net operating income= 270,800

Variable costing income statement:

Sales= 3,599,000

Total variable cost= 6,100*(413 + 50 + 28)= (2,995,100)

Total contribution margin= 603,900

Total fixed selling expense= (125,600)

Total fixed administrative expense= (207,500)

Net operating income= 270,800

Answers

Answer:

1. 17%

2. 42.5%

3. $2,748,900

4. 44%

Explanation:

1. Return on Investment for 2017

= [tex]\frac{Operating Income}{Average Invested Assets}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2,499,000}{14,700,000}[/tex]

= 17%

2. Profit Margin 2017

3. Should the sales increase by 10% in 2018 then the new sales figure will be;

= $5,880,000 + ($5,880,000 *10%)

= $6,468,000

Profit = Sales * Profit Margin

= 6,468,000 * 42.5%

= $2,748,900

Return on Investment for 2018

= [tex]\frac{Operating Income}{Average Invested Assets}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2,748,900}{14,700,000}[/tex]

= 18.7%

4. Investment turnover equal for 2018

= [tex]\frac{ Sales}{Average Invested Assets}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{6,468,000}{14,700,000}[/tex]

Answer:

Option D, Eliminates the dead-weight loss.

Explanation:

Option D is correct because there is dead-weight loss under monopoly because it produces less as compared to perfect competition. Therefore, a monopolist eliminates this dead-weight loss by producing at the level where the marginal cost curve cuts the marginal revenue curve and charging each consumer their willingness to pay the amount

A firm in a purely competitive industry is currently producing 1,200 units per day at a total cost of $700. If the firm produced 1,000 units per day, its total cost would be $450, and if it produced 700 units per day, its total cost would be $425. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What are the firm's ATC at these three levels of production

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The average total cost is calculated as the total cost divided by the number of outputs. The firm's ATC at these three levels of production will be:

1. 1,200 units per day at a total cost of $700.

ATC = Total cost/output

ATC = $700/1200

ATC = $0.58

2. If the firm produced 1,000 units per day, its total cost would be $450.

ATC = Total cost/output

ATC = $450/1000

ATC = $0.45

3. If it produced 700 units per day, its total cost would be $425.

ATC = Total cost/output

ATC = $425/700

ATC = $0.61

Which of the following represented a business unit that shows rapid growth but poor profit margins?
a. Star.
b. Cash cow.
c. Problem child.
d. Loss leader.
e. Dog.

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In simple words, A cash cow refers to one of the 4 dimensions (quadrants) throughout the growth-share vector, BCG matrix describing a business, line of products, or enterprise with significant market share inside a mature field.

A cash cow is described as a reference to a company, commodity, or asset that will generate continuous investment returns throughout its lifetime until it is purchased and paying off.

The term refers to a company that is equally low-maintenance too. Modern days cash cows need minimal capital investment to have consistently sufficient cash flow that can be distributed within a company to other departments. They 're lower - risk projects, potentially high profits.

Assume that the U.S. one-year interest rate is 3 percent and the one-year interest rate on Australian dollars is 6 percent. The U.S. expected annual inflation is 5 percent, while the Australian inflation is expected to be 7 percent. You have $100,000 to invest for one year and you believe that PPP holds. The spot exchange rate of an Australian dollar is $0.689. What will be the yield on your investment if you invest in the Australian market

Answers

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

you invest $100,000 today and purchase A$145,137.88

in one year, you will have A$152,394.78

since the PPP stands, the spot rate in one year should be:

0.703 US$ per A$ (since Australia's inflation rate is 2% higher than the US inflation rate, the Australian dollar will depreciate by 2%)

with your A$152,394.78, you can purchase $107,133.53

if you invested in the US instead, you would have $103,000

this means that your Australian investment yielded ($107,133.53 / $103,000) - 1 = 0.04 or 4%

Suppose Hoosiers, a specialty clothing store, rents space at a local mall for one year, paying $13,800 ($1,150/month) in advance on October 1.
Required:
1. Record the adjusting entries on December 31.
2. Record the payment of rent in advance of october 1.
3. Calculate the year-end adjusted balances of prepaid rent and rent expense (assuming the balance of Prepaid Rent at the beginning of the year is $0).

Answers

Answer:

1.

Dec 31    Rent expense                   $3450 Dr

                  Prepaid Rent                       $3450 Cr

2.

Oct 1     Prepaid Rent                        $13800 Dr

                  Cash                                       $13800 Cr

3.

Year end balances at 31 December:

Rent Expense = $3450

Prepaid Rent = $10350

Explanation:

Assumption: The year end for the business in on 31 December.

1.

The rent is paid in advance thus it is an asset. On 31 December the adjusting entry will be made under the accrual principle to match the current period's rent expense and record it in the period to which it belongs to. Thus we will credit the rent expense for 3 months i.e. October, November and December. We will credit the asset account that is Prepaid Rent.

2.

The prepayment of rent is creating an asset account in the title of prepaid rent. The entry would be to record the asset prepaid rent by the full amount of the rent prepaid and credit the other asset account through which the payment is being made.

3.

The adjusted year end balance for rent expense will be the rent expense paid for this period that is $1150 * 3 = 3450

The balance in the prepaid rent account after adjusting the rent expense will be,

Prepaid rent = 13800 - 3450 = $10350

If P represents the price of goods and services measured in money, then 1/P is the value of money measured in terms of goods and services True False

Suppose you invested $100 in the Ishares High Yield Fund (HYG) a month ago. It paid a dividend of $2 today and then you sold it for $101. What was your dividend yield and capital gains on the investment

Answers

Answer:

Dividend yield= 2%

Capital gain = 1$

Explanation:

Capital gain is the difference between the cost of the shares when it was purchased and the price now

Capital gains = Price of the share now - cost of the shares

Capital gain = 101- 100 = 1

Capital gain = 1$

Dividend yield is the dividend earned as a proportion of the price of the share

Dividend yield = Dividend/ price × 100 =

Dividend = 2, Price = 101

Dividend yield = 2/101× 100 =  1.98

Dividend yield= 2%

The CAL formed from the optimal risky portfolio will be __________ to the efficient frontier of risky assets.

Answers

Answer:

tangent

Explanation:

The Capital Allocation Line refers to a line that measures the assets profile with respect to risk plus reward and can be applied to determine the optimal portfolio.

The optimal portfolio involves both risk-free assets and an efficient portfolio of assets i.e to be riskier.

The optimal portfolio of risky assets should be at that point at which the capital allocation line is tangent to the efficient frontier.

This portfolio is desirable since CAL 's slope is the maximum, implying we get the maximum return for the additional unit added with respect to risk.

Suppose the reserve requirement ratio is 20 percent. Assuming no bank holds excess reserves and nobody withdraws cash, a $10,000 injection of new reserves by the Fed can create (in the entire mult-banking system), a maximum of:​

Answers

Answer:

The maximum money created is $50000

Explanation:

The given reserve requirement ratio is = 20 percent

The injection of cash = $10000

So,  first, we have to find the money multiplier and then multiply with the injected amount.

Since  the reserve requirement is 20 percent  so  the money multiplier =  1/ 20 = 0.5 or 5.

The Fed can create the maximum money = 10,000 x 5 = 50,000

Bob has saved $315 each month for the last 6 years to make a down payment on a house. The account earned an interest rate of .41 percent per month. How much money is in Bob's account

Answers

Answer:

The amount in Bob's account is $26320.516

Explanation:

The total amount saved each month for the down payment (A ) = $315

The interest rate per month (r ) = 0.41 %

Number of years (n ) = 6 years

Below is the calculation to find the total amount in Bob’s account. Here, we will take the number of compounding period as 72 because the interest rate is monthly compounded and there are 72 months in 6 years.

[tex]= A\left [ \frac{\left ( 1+r \right )^{n\times 12}-1}{r} \right ] \\= 315 \left [ \frac{\left ( 1+ 0.0041 \right )^{6\times 12}-1}{0.0041} \right ] \\= 315\left [ \frac{\left ( 1+ 0.0041 \right )^{72}-1}{0.0041} \right ] \\= $ 26320.516[/tex]
