On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $20000 was purchased for $84000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (2nd year)= $16,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $84,000
Salvage value= $20,000
Useful life= 4 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (84,000 - 20,000) / 4
Annual depreciation= $16,000

Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.
Answer:
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.
The following calculations are made in the attached excel:
For Event 7, we have:
Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600
For Event 8, we have:
Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000
Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:
Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800
Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400
Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

A firm has sales of $3 million, and 10 percent of the sales are for cash. The year-end accounts receivable balance is $285,000. What is the average collection period
Answer:
38 days
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the average daily credit sales
= 3,000,000× 0.9/360
= 2,700,000/360
= 7500
Therefore the average collection period can be calculated as follows
= 285,000/7500
= 38
Hence the average collection period is 38 days
Analysts expect Placer Corp. to pay shareholders $2.25 per share annually for the next five years. After that, the dividend will be $3.50 annually forever. Given a discount rate of 12%, what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
$24.66
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the value of the stock today
First step is to calculate the PVP
PVP = $3.50 / .12
PVP= $29.17
Second step is to calculate the PV
PV = $29.17 / 1.125
PV= $16.55
Third step is to calculate the PVA
PVA = $2.25 {[1 - (1 / 1.125)] / .12}
PVA= $8.11
Now let calculate the value of the stock today
Using this formula
Price=PV+PVA
Let plug in the formula
Price = $16.55 + 8.11
Price= $24.66
Therefore the value of the stock today is $24.66
A rectangle has length xcm and width (x-1)cm. If the perimeter is 14cm,
Find the value of x.
Answer:
x = 4 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of a rectangle = x cm
Width = (x-1) cm
The perimeter of the rectangle = 14 cm
We need to find the value of x.
We know that,
Perimeter = sum of all sides
14 = 2(x+x-1)
7 = 2x-1
8 = 2x
x = 4
So, the value of x is equal to 4 cm.
Vaughn Manufacturing has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. 4900 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 4900 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 3700 pounds. Vaughn Manufacturing's materials quantity variance is
Answer:
$2,400 Unfavourable
Explanation:
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard cost
Given that:
Standard quantity = 3,700 pounds
Actual quantity = 4,900 pounds
Standard cost = $2
Therefore,
Direct materials quantity variance
= (3,700 - 4,900) × 2
= - $2,400
= $2,400 Unfavourable
The difference between the standard and actual quantity is negative. We used more pounds than expected, hence variance will be unfavourable.
Holt Industries received a $2,000 prepayment from the Ramirez Company for the sale of new office furniture. Holt will bill Ramirez an additional $3,000 upon delivery of the furniture to Ramirez. Upon receipt of the $2,000 prepayment, how much should Holt recognize for a contract asset, a contract liability, and accounts receivable?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the contract asset, a contract liability, and accounts receivable is shown below:
The contract asset is zero as it is not satisfied with the performance obligation
The current liability is $2,000 as it denotes the deferred revenue of $2,000 so this represent the contract liability
And, the account receivable is zero as it does not have the account receivable till the delivery of the furniture
in this way it should be recorded
A man wants to help provide a college education for his young daughter. He can afford to invest $1500/yr for the next 5 years, beginning on the girl 's 5th birthday. He wishes to give his daughter $10,000 on her 18th, 19th , 20th, and 21 st birthdays, for a total of $40,000. Assuming 6% interest, what uniform annual investment will he have to make on the girl's 9th through 17th birthdays?
Answer:
$1,919.69
Explanation:
when the daughter is 9 years old, total savings = $1,500 x 5.6371 (FVIFA, 6%, 5 periods) = $8,455.65
first 5 payments:
birthdays = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
the present value of the $40,000 that he needs for her daughter's college = $10,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $34,651
the FV until the 17th birthday = $8,455.65 x 1.06⁸ = $15,650.82
he needs to save = $34,651 - $15,650.82 = $19,000.18
value of annual deposits = $19,000.18 / 9.8975 (FVIFA, 6%, 8 peridos) = $1,919.69

Samuel is the managing general partner of STU, in which he owns a 25% interest. For the year, STU reported ordinary income of $400,000 (after deducting all guaranteed payments). In addition, the LLC reported interest income of $12,000. Samuel received a guaranteed payment of $120,000 for services he performed for STU. How much income from self-employment did Samuel earn from STU
Answer:
$220,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much income from self-employment did Samuel earn from STU
Using this formula
Income from self-employment =Guaranteed payment received+(Interest rate*Ordinary income)

Savannah still owned 20% of the goods at the end of the year. In 2021, Charleston sold goods with a cost of $520,000 to Savannah for $700,000, and Savannah still owned 15% of the goods at year-end. What amount of intra-entity gross profit should be deferred in 2021
Answer:
Amount of profit to be deferred = $27,000Explanation:
The intra-entity gross profit that needs to be deferred can be calculated as follows:
In 2021:
The amount of price on goods sold = $700,000
The actual cost price = $520,000
Less: $180,000
Amount of profit to be deferred = Profit × percentage of goods at the year-end (2021)
Amount of profit to be deferred = $180,000 × 15%

Assume that the reserve requirement is 5 percent. All other things being equal, will the money supply expand more if the Fed buys $2,000 worth of bonds or if someone deposits in a bank $2,000 that she had been hiding in her cookie jar? If one creates more, how much more does it create? Support your thinking.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the reserve ratio is given as 5%, then the money multiplier will be:
= 1 / reserve requirement
= 1/5%
= 1 / 0.05
= 20.
Therefore, the money multiplier will increase by 20.
Then, the Money supply will be calculated as:
= amount x money multiplier
= 2000 x 20
= 40000
Therefore, the increase in the money supply will be $40000.
In this case, if the FED purchases $2000 worth of bonds, it'll expand the money supply more.

During year 8, Clark Company manufactured equipment for its own use at a total cost of $2,400,000. The project required the entire year to complete and all costs were incurred uniformly throughout the year. At the beginning of the period, Clark was able to borrow $1,500,000 at 6% specifically for the purchase of materials and the manufacture of the equipment. The entire debt, with interest was repaid on December 31, year 8, replaced with a long-term loan. Throughout year 8, Clark Company had additional debt of $1,000,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 7%. If Clark Company capitalizes the maximum amount of interest allowable under GAAP, how much will Clark report as interest expense in year 8
Answer:
$88,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much will Clark report as interest expense in year 8
First step is to calculate the total interest expense for the year
Total interest expense = ($1,500,000 x 6%) + ($1,000,000 x 7%)
Total interest expense = $90,000 + $70,000
Total interest expense=$160,000
Second step is to calculate the weighted average costs
Weighted average costs = $2,400,000 / 2
Weighted average costs= $1,200,000
Third step is to calculate the capitalize interests
Capitalize interests =$1,200,000 x 6%
Capitalize interests= $72,000
Now let calculate the interest expense in year 8 using this formula
Year 8 Interest expense=Total interests - Capitalized interests
Let plug in the formula
Year 8 Interest expense= $160,000 - $72,000
Year 8 Interest expense= $88,000
Therefore The amount that Clark will report as interest expense in year 8 is $88,000

The market for the fast car with so much horsepower that handling becomes an issue is decreasing. People are more interested in buying SUVs and pickups. As a result, General Motors is stopping production of its Camaro, a car that has had limited sales recently. Since the Camaro can no longer generate enough cash to sustain its manufacture, the BCG portfolio would classify it as a:
Answer:
Dog.
Explanation:
In 1970, Bruce D. Henderson developed and created a growth-share matrix for the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) growth-share matrix is a tool used for analyzing and planning product lines in a business unit. It makes use of a graphical representation of a company's product line and services to analyze and make long-term strategic plans on which to invest more on or sell off.
Generally, products are divided into four (4) main categories in the BCG growth-share matrix;
1. Dogs.
2. Stars.
3. Question marks.
4. Cash cows.
A dog refers to a product or business unit that has a very low growth rate or market share and as such generates insufficient amount of revenues.
In this scenario, Camaro isn't able to generate sufficient (enough) cash to sustain its manufacturing or production process, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) portfolio would classify it as a dog.
