Answer:
Accounting rate of return= 20%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.
The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:
Accounting rate of return
= Annual operating income/Average investment × 100
Average investment = (Initial cost + scrap value)/2
Average profit = Total profit over investment period / Number of years
Total revenue = 8000+12000+ 15000 + 20,000+ 20,000 = 75000
Total expenses= 8000 + 8000 + 9000 +10,000 + 10,000 = 45000
Cash profit = 75,000 - 45,000 = 30,000
Depreciation = 4000× 5 = 20,000
Accounting profit = Cash profit - Depreciation = 30,000- 20,000 = 10,000
Average profit = 10,000/5 = 2,000
Accounting rate of return = 2,000/20000× 100 = 20%
Accounting rate of return= 20%
eally Great Corporation manufactures industrial−sized landscaping trailers and uses budgeted machine−hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company's manufacturing overhead data: Budgeted output units 51,000 units Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600 Actual output units produced 35,750 units Actual machine−hours used 14,300 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $328,900 What is the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output unit?
Answer:
$7.60 per unit of output
Explanation:
Budgeted output units 51,000 units
Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours
Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600
budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of output = $387,600 / 51,000 units = $7.60 per unit of output
In this case, the applied variable overhead rate = 35,750 units x $7.60 = $271,700, which would have been under-applied since the actual variable overhead costs were much higher, $328,900.
Which of the following approaches should the Fed use if it experiences large lags and mistakes in monetary policy?
a. Discretionary policy
b. An eclectic approach
c. Fixed rules
d. Fiscal policy
Answer:
C. Fixed rules.
Explanation:
This is simply a policy that is seen to be a monetary or in some cases fiscal; they are said to be automated in most of its cases and are based on the criteria that are predetermined.
In most cases, these policies are seen to be binding and also categorically constrain officials' policy choices based on certain predetermined criteria to direct them toward serving the public interest.
Many cases by policymakers made this policy to be put in place because most of them generally cannot bind their own future choices, also fixed policy rules usually have to be enforced by some kind of higher authority in order to be binding etc.
During December, Rainey Equipment made a $658,000 credit sale. The state sales tax rate is 6% and the local sales tax rate is 1.5%. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
So starting out they purchase your equipment with a promissory note. That promissory note is Debited to your accounts receivable for the amount of sales price (658,000) + both sales & local taxes. 6%+1.5%= 7.5% so... 1+ (7.5%*658,000)= $707,350
then your sales tax payable is credited like this 7.5%*658,000= $49,350
and of course credit, the sales price for $658,000
Explanation:
Accounts Receivable $707,350 Sales Revenue $658,000 Sales taxes payable $49,350Good luck!

The question is incomplete. The complete question is,
On January 2, 2019, Konrad Corporation acquired equipment for $500,000. The estimated life of the equipment is 5 years or 18,000 hours. The estimated residual value is $14,000. If Konrad Corporation uses the units of production method of depreciation, what will be the debit to Depreciation Expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, assuming that during this period, the asset was used 6,000 hours?
A. $166,667
B. $97,200
C. $162,000
D. $171,333
Answer:
The depreciation expense for the year is $162000. Thus, option C is the correct answer
Explanation:
The depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life. The depreciation can be calculated using various methods. Under the units of production method, the depreciation expense for the period is calculated using the following formula,
Depreciation expense = [(Cost - Residual value) / Total estimated production units] * Units produced in a particular period
Depreciation expense = [(500000 - 14000) / 18000] * 6000
Depreciation expense = $162000
When the Federal Reserve buys long term MBS and Treasury securities from banks and announces its intention to keep buying these assets in large quantities for a long time the effect on commercial banks is to increase the value of fixed income securities that are not sold and at the same time to lower the interest spread between new loans originated and the cost of financing these loans. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Since, Federal reserve purchased long term MBS in order to pay the less market interest rate and this will cause a rise in the amount of income i.e fixed securities. Also, due to less market interest rate, the financing cost is less and at the same time interest spread is narrower as it provides more liquidity

Which of the following policies often contains clauses that permit a social networking operator to collect and store data on users or even share it with third parties?
1) Terms of Trade policy
2) Terms of Use policy
3) Terms of Endearment policy
4) Terms of Retention policy
Answer: 2) Terms of Use policy
Explanation:
Terms of service are a contract or agreement between the user of a website or in this case a social networking operator and the social networking operator itself. This agreement is meant to govern the terms of the relationship between the 2 parties in terms of what will be expected of both, i.e, their rights and responsibilities.
On the side of the social networking operator, one of the rights usually listed is one stating that the operator can collect and store data on users or even share it with third parties and so it is important to read the terms of use policy as best you can when you can.
You are the manager of a firm that produces goods X and Y. Your rm receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $90,000 per year from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is |-0.75| and the cross price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is -1.7.
Required:
How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent?
Answer:
price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change in price
-0.75 = % change in quantity / 2%
-1.5 = % change in quantity
lets assume that 1,000 units of X were sold at $40 each, total revenue = $40,000
new total revenue = 985 x $40.80 = $40,188
revenue generated by good X will increase by 0.47%, from $40,000 to $40,188
price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of Y / % change in price of X
-1.7 = % change quantity of Y / 2%
-3.4% = % change quantity of Y
lets assume that 1,000 units of Y were sold at $90 each, total revenue = $90,000
new total revenue = 966 x $91.80 = $88,678.80
revenue generated by good Y will decrease by -1.47%, from $90,000 to $88,678.80

Find the accumulated depreciation for 2014 first.
The accumulated depreciation for 2014 is:_$45,900____(Round to the nearest dollar.)
Explanation:
A company's income statement is one of the three financial statements prepared by the entity at the end of its fiscal period. The statement compares the company's revenue with the expenses. After deducting the total expenses from the total revenue, the net income or loss is obtained. But before arriving at the net income or loss, there are other profit points that are usually calculated. The first is the gross profit, which is the difference between the sales revenue and the cost of goods sold. It shows the ability of the management to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of goods sold and make a profit from its trading or primary activities.
The next profit point is the Earnings before Interests and Taxes (EBIT). This is an important index for checking the financial performance of a company. The next is the Taxable Income on which the tax rate is determined and paid to government as Company Income Tax. After deducting the tax expense from the pre-tax income, the final profit point is the After-Tax Income or the Net Income. This determines the dividends policy and the share of retained earnings of the entity.

g Sheffield Corp. purchased a truck at the beginning of 2017 for $109200. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $3800 and a useful life of 131750 miles. It was driven 23000 miles in 2017 and 31000 miles in 2018. What is the depreciation expense for 2018
Answer:
$24,800
Explanation:
Calculation for the depreciation expense for 2018 for Sheffield Corp.
Using this formula
Depreciation expense = (Purchased at the beginning-Salvage value/Useful life)* Driven miles
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation expense=($109,200-$3,800/131,750)*31,000
Depreciation expense=($105,400/131,750)*31,000
Depreciation expense=0.80*31,000
Depreciation expense=$24,800
Therefore the depreciation expense for 2018 will be $24,800
Mogul Company ships merchandise to Ski Outfit in a consignment arrangement. The arrangement specifies that Ski Outfit will attempt to sell the merchandise, and in return, Mogul will pay to Ski Outfit a commission of 25% of the selling price on any merchandise sold. During the year, Mogul ships inventory with a cost of $81,000 to Ski Outfit and pays shipping costs of $8,700. By the end of the year, $61,000 of the merchandise has been sold to customers for a total of $86,000. Mogul allocates $6,500 of the shipping costs to inventory sold and the other $2,200 to inventory not sold. Mogul also paid advertising costs during the year of $10,500. What amount of inventory will Mogul report at year end
Answer:
$22,200
Explanation:
With regards to the above information Mogul company,
Cost of goods
= $81,000 + $8,700
= $89,700
= $61,000 + $6,500
= $67,500
Inventory = Cost of goods - Cost of goods sold
= $89,700 - $67,500
= $22,200
It therefore means that the amount of inventory Magu company will report at the year end is $22,200

Tax Services prepares tax returns for senior citizens. The standard in terms of (direct labor) time spent on each return is hours. The direct labor standard wage rate at the firm is per hour. Last month, direct labor hours were used to prepare tax returns. Total wages were .
Answer:
Tax Services
Total wages were:
= hourly wage rate * total hours spent on returns for the month
For example, if the hourly wage rate is $50 and the total hours spent on the returns equal 560 hours, the total wages will be equal to $28,000 ($50 x 560).
Explanation:
The Tax Services' total wages will be equal to the hourly wage rate multiplied by the total hours spent on returns during the month. The total hours spent on the returns for the month is obtained by adding up the hours spent on all the returns. The total wages depend on the hours worked and the standard wage rate that has been established in the firm.

n the cash flow information for the Ping Kings project, Ping spent $300,000 for research and development of the golf clubs. Ping's tax rate is 40%. How much of this cost should be included in the initial (t = 0) cash flow for this project
Answer: C. $0
Explanation:
When including initial costs in a project's cash-flow, the relevant costs are those that henceforth will be spent on the project. Sunk costs are not to be included because they have already been incurred and cannot be recovered.
Research and Development costs have already been incurred and so are sunk costs. Hence they are not to be included in the initial cash-flow for the project.
The amount of the cost that should be included in the initial (t = 0) cash flow for Ping Kings' Project is D. $300,000.
This is a cash outlay (outflow). It bears a negative value. The initial cash flow cannot be $120,000, $180,000, or $0 because of Ping's tax rate of 40%. Under the FASB, Research and Development costs are capitalized.

The standard quantity allowed for the units produced was 4000 pounds, the standard price was $2.50 per pound, and the materials quantity variance was $350 favorable. Each unit uses 1 pound of materials. How many units were actually produced
Answer:
Unites actually produced = 4,000 units
Explanation:
Material quantity variance occurs when the actual quantity used to achieved a given level of output is more or less than the standard quantity.
It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price
Material quantity variance in unit = Materials quantity variance in value /standard price
Material quantity variance in unit = 350/2.50 =140 pounds
Actual quantity used (in pounds) = standard quantity allowed - Material quantity variance
= 4000 - 140 = 3,860 pounds
Actual units produced = Standard quantity allowed/ standard quantity per unit
= 4,000/1 = 4000 units
Unites actually produced = 4,000 units

The treasurer of Riley Coal Co. is asked to compute the cost of fixed income securities for her corporation. Even before making the calculations, she assumes the aftertax cost of debt is at least 3 percent less than that for preferred stock.
Debt can be issued at a yield of 11.0 percent, and the corporate tax rate is 20 percent. Preferred stock will be priced at $60 and pay a dividend of $6.40. The flotation cost on the preferred stock is $6.
a. Compute the aftertax cost of debt. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. Compute the aftertax cost of preferred stock. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
c. Based on the facts given above, is the treasurer correct?
Answer:
a. Compute the after tax cost of debt.
after tax cost of debt = 11% x (1 - tax rate) = 11% x 0.8 = 8.8%
b. Compute the after tax cost of preferred stock.
after tax cost of preferred stock = cost of preferred stock (no taxes are deducted for paying preferred dividends since they are paid in capital)
cost of preferred stocks = $6.40 / ($60 - $6) = $6.40 / $54 = 11.85%
c. Based on the facts given above, is the treasurer correct?
the difference = 11.85% - 8.8% = 3.05%, so the treasurer was right
Cantor Corporation acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $9,000,000. The building included used but functional equipment. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $4,500,000, $3,000,000, and $2,500,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be:
Answer:
Initial value of building = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $2,250,000
Explanation:
The fair value of an asset refers to a unbiased estimate of the likely market price of the asset.
The initial value of a fixed asset refers to the amount of money that spent to acquire or create the asset.
The initial value of each asset from a group of asset can be calculated using the following formula:
Initial value of an asset = Lump-sum price * (FVA / TFV) ............ (1)
Where, from the questio;
Lump-sum price = $9,000,000
FVA = Fair value of a particular asset. From the question, we have:
Building fair value = $4,500,000
Land fair value = $3,000,000
Land fair value = $2,500,000
TFV =Total fair value = Building fair value + Land fair value + Land fair value = $4,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $10,000,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we can determine the initial value of each asset as follows:
Initial value of building = $9,000,000 * ($4,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.45 = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $9,000,000 * ($3,000,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.30 = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $9,000,000 * ($2,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.25 = $2,250,000
Midwest Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $85,000 with a $7,000 residual value and a ten-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of $20,210 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $4,130 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment. If required, round to the nearest whole percent. %
Answer:
17.89%
Explanation:
Calculation Determine the average rate of return on the equipment
Using this formula
Average rate of return =Avarage annual income /Average investment
Where,
Avarage annual income=Annual saving - Annual depreciation- Annual operating costs
Average investment= (Beginning costs + Residual value)÷2
Let plug in the formula
Average rate of return=$20,210 - ($85,000- $7,000)÷10 years-$4,130/($85,000+$7,000)÷2
Average rate of return=$20,210-($78,000÷10)-$4,180/($92,000)÷2
Average rate of return=$20,210-$7,800-$4,180/$46,000
Average rate of return=$8,230/$46,000
Average rate of return=0.1789*100
Average rate of return=17.89%
Therefore the average rate of return on the equipment will be 17.89%
Answer:
18%
Explanation:
This can be calculated as using the formula for calculating the average rate of return as follows:
Average rate of return = Average annual income / Average investment in equipment .................. (1)
To use equation (1), we first calculate the following:
Annual cost saving = $20,210
Annual depreciation = (Equipment cost - Residual value) / Useful number of years = ($85,000 - $7,000) / 10 = $7,800
Annual operating and energy costs = $4,130
Average annual income = Annual cost saving - Annual depreciation - Annual operating and energy costs = $20,210 - $7,800 - $4,130 = $8,280
Average investment in equipment = (Equipment cost + Residual value) / 2 = $46,000
Substituting the values for Average annual income and Average investment in equipment into equation (1), we have:
Average rate of return = $8,280 / $46,000 = 0.18, or 18%
