Cash balance $30,000
Inventory:
Cost = $26,000
Units produced = 10,000 units
Cost per unit = $2.60 ($26,000/10,000)
Cost of goods sold = 8,000 * $2.60 = $20,800
Ending inventory = 2,000 * $2.60 = $5,200
Sales Revenue = 8,000 * $9 = $72,000
Assets:
Cash $30,000
Ending inventory 5,200

Derek will deposit $9,359.00 per year for 18.00 years into an account that earns 4.00%, The first deposit is made next year. He has $18,418.00 in his account today. How much will be in the account 49.00 years from today
Answer:
FV= $904,322.05
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit= 9,359
n= 18
i= 0.04
FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04
FV= $240,015.42
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)
FV= $38,803.95
Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37
Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:
FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)
FV= $904,322.05
In 2019, Martin had two employers during the year. Both employers withheld Social Security tax from his wages in the amounts of $4,314.05 and $4,274.75. What amount can Martin claim as a credit against his income tax when he files his income tax return
Answer:
$1241.80
Explanation:
From the given information:
the social security taxes withheld by both employers are $4314.05 and $4274.75 respectively.
Let's recall that the maximum amount the IRS can also withhold from wages is $7347.00.
Therefore;
the required amount that can be claimed as a credit is:
= $4,314.05 + $4,274.75 - $7347.00
= $1241.80
Answer:
$349
Explanation:
1) 4,314.05 + 4,274.75 = 8,588.80
2) Social security withheld max: 132,900 * 6.2% = 8,239.80
3) 8,588.80 - 8,239.80 = 349

Data pertaining to the postretirement health care benefit plan of Danielson Delivery Service include the following for the current calendar year: Service cost $ 150,000 APBO, January 1 $ 800,000 Plan assets (fair value), January 1 $ 80,000 Prior service cost (current year amortization, $2,000) $ 90,000 Retiree benefits paid (end of year) $ 90,000 Net gain (current year amortization, $1,000) $ 92,000 Contribution to health care fund (end of year) $ 85,000 Return on plan assets (actual and expected) 10 % Discount rate 8 % Required: 1. Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.
Answer: $207,00
Explanation:
Postretirement benefit for the year is:
= Service cost + Interest cost + Amortization of prior service cost - Return on plant assets - Amortization of net gain
Interest cost = Discount rate * Actual Projected benefit obligation (APBO)
= 8% * 800,000
= $64,000
Return on plant assets = Return on plan assets (actual and expected)* Plan assets
= 10% * 80,000
= $8,000
Postretirement benefit = 150,000 + 64,000 + 2,000 - 8,000 - 1,000
= $207,000

The CFO of Stephenson Company has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and report to him by week's end.
What should be the amount of direct materials used?
a. $208,400
b. $405,500
c. $440,800
d. $201,500
Answer:
Direct material used= $183,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct Materials Purchased 171,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000
Direct material used= $183,000
Prove:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000
cost of goods manufactured= $340,000
A review of Parson Corporation's accounting records found that at a volume of 90,000 units, the variable and fixed cost per unit amounted to $8 and $4, respectively. On the basis of this information, what amount of total cost would Parson anticipate at a volume of 85,000 units
Answer:
Total cost= $1,040,000
Explanation:
For 90,000 units:
Unitary variable cost= $8
Unitary fixed cost= $4
First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost:
Total fixed cost= 4*90,000= $360,000
Now, we can determine the total cost for 85,000 units:
Total cost= 85,000*8 + 360,000
Total cost= $1,040,000
The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2001 as the base year.
Year 2000 2001
Price Quantity Price Quantity
Ice Cream $7.00 600 $3.00 400
Blue Jeans $70.00 20 $20.00 90
Laptops $300.00 5 $300.00 5
2000 nominal GDP = $_________
2001 nominal GDP = $_________
2000 real GDP = $_________
2001 real GDP = $_________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
And,
Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
Now
(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is
= $[(7 × 600) + (70 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500
= $7,100
(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)
= $4,500
(c) Real GDP, 2000 is
= $[(3 × 600) + (20 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500
= $3,700
(d) Real GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500
= $4,500

Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result, they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?
Answer:
It will decrease prior service cost and, as prior service cost is amortized, will decrease pension expense.
Explanation:
In the given if there is any change in the projected benefit obligation so the pension expense would impact in the present and future period by reducing the service cost that incurred before also the service cost that incurred before would be amortized that ultimately reduce the pension expense
Therefore the first option is correct
Suppose a city block was going to be used for a parking lot in both New York City and a small town. The opportunity cost would be multiple choice 2 lower in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. lower in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable. greater in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable.
Answer:
c. The opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.
Explanation:
Value of piece of land would be much higher in New York City in comparison to a small town.
This means that if a piece of land is used for parking lot in the New York City then the alternative use of such land would be more valuable in comparison to the utilization of similar piece of land in a small town.
Higher the value of alternative uses, higher would be the opportunity cost. So, the opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.
In 2008, Betserai was a 10-year-old quintrillionaire living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He was literally rolling in money. In fact, Betserai has so much money that he decided to make kites out of billion dollar bills instead of putting the money into the bank to earn interest. None of Betserai's friends bothered to save their money, either. Rupert was Betserai's American pen pal and heard of Betserai's story and was extremely confused. He was taught that Zimbabwe was one of the poorer countries in the world, or at the least substantially poorer than the United States. Which statement best explains this phenomenon?
A. A country's wealth is based on the amount of money in circulation.
B. Zimbabwe was in the midst of an incredible economic boom, substantially increasing the wealth of all its citizens.
C. Rapid rises in price levels made the Zimbabwean dollar near worthless in terms of purchasing power.
D. All of these statements could explain what happened in Zimbabwe in 2008.
Answer:
C. Rapid rises in price levels made the Zimbabwean dollar near worthless in terms of purchasing power.
Explanation:
As in the given situation it is mentioned that 10 year old boy has the bill of billion dollar this represented that the country really printed the bill of billion dollar. It means that the attempt is to be done in order to print a currenct note of higher denomination that also represent that the country would increased such level also at the same time a big amount is required to purchased the goods and services.
Also the high denomination values would not consist of actual value as they have purchasing power i.e. negligible

a) Data and Calculations:
10% Bonds' maturity value = $2,000,000
Bonds sales value = $1,855,816
Total discount = $144,184
Annual Interest = $200,000 ($2,000,000 * 10%)
Maturity period = 5 years (January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025)
Annual amortization of discount = $28,836.80 ($144,184/5)
Total interest cost with amortized discount each year = $228,836.80
b) Under the straight line method, the premium or discount on the bond is amortized in equal amounts over the life of the bond, as demonstrated above.
Based on the information given, it should be noted that the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.
Interest expenseFrom the information given, the following can be calculated:
Discount on issue = $2000000 - $1855816 = $144184
Discount to be amortized on each interest date = $144184 / 5 = $28836.80
Cash interest annual = $2000000 * 10% = $200000
Therefore, the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses from 2020 to 2025 will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

For the month of April, conversion cost incurred was:
Answer: $65000
Explanation:
For the month of April, the conversion cost that was incurred would be calculated as:
Beginning inventory of Direct Materials = $18000
Add: Purchase = $32000
Total cost of Direct Materials available = $50000
Less: Ending inventory of Direct Material = $15000
Therefore, Direct material used:

Tirri Corporation has provided the following information: Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 7.50 Direct labor $ 3.85 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.55 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 24,400 Sales commissions $ 1.05 Variable administrative expense $ 0.60 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 8,800 If the selling price is $28.10 per unit, the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:
Answer:
$13.55
Explanation:
The contribution margin per unit is computed as;
= Selling price - (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commission + Variable administrative expense)
= $28.10 - ($7.50 + $3.85 + $1.55 + $1.05 + $0.60)
= $28.10 - $14.55
= $13.55
Therefore , the contribution margin per unit is $13.55
Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following:
Machine A could be purchased for $60,500. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,100 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,050.
Machine B could be purchased for $55,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,400 in year three, $10,500 in year six, and $12,600 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year.
Answer:
Esquire should purchase Machine A.
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations.
Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the present value of Machine A & Machine B.
In the attached excel file, the following is used:
Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n ……………………………. (1)
Where:
r = interest rate = 8%, or 0.08
n = the year in focus
From part 1 of the attached excel file, we have:
Net present value of Machine A = -$71,788.85
From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:
Net present value of Machine B = -$75,092.36
Since the Net present value of Machine A of -$71,788.85 is less than the Net present value of Machine B of -$75,092.36, Esquire should purchase Machine A.
