What is the amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized in Windsor's income statement for January
Answer:
$6,600
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is the amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized in Windsor's income statement for January
Using this formula
Uncollectible accounts expense=estimated uncollectible portion-Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Let plug in the formula
Uncollectible accounts expense=$7400-$800
Uncollectible accounts expense=$6,600
Therefore the amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized in Windsor's income statement for January is $6,600
Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 235,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 3,760,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00
Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,900. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 1,794 Direct labor cost $ 1,287 Machine-hours used 86
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (3,760,000 / 235,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per machine hour
Job P90:
Direct materials $ 1,794
Direct labor cost $ 1,287
Machine-hours used 86
We need to allocate overhead costs:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 18*86= $1,548
Total manufacturing costs= 1,548 + 1,794 + 1,287
Total manufacturing costs= $4,629
While under contract to play professional basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers, Billy Cunningham, an outstanding player, negotiated a three-year contract with the Carolina Cougars, another professional basketball team. The contract with the Cougars was to begin at the expiration of the contract with the 76ers. In addition to a signing bonus of $125,000, Cunningham was to receive under the new contract a salary of $100,000 for the first year, $110,000 for the second, and $120,000 for the third. The contract also stated that Cunningham "had special, exceptional and unique knowledge, skill and ability as a basketball player" and that Cunningham therefore agreed the Cougars could enjoin him from playing basketball for any other team for the term of the contract. In addition, the contract contained a clause prohibiting its assignment to another club without Cunningham’s consent. In 1971, the ownership of the Cougars changed, and Cunningham’s contract was assigned to Munchak Corporation, the new owners, without his consent. When Cunningham refused to play for the Cougars, Munchak Corporation sought to enjoin his playing for any other team. Cunningham asserts that his contract was not assignable. Was the contract assignable? Explain.
Answer:
Billy Cunningham and the Cougars
The contract was not assignable to another club.
But, the contract (assets and liabilities) can be inherited by a successor entity using the same club, the Cougars.
Explanation:
The contract was not assigned to another club, despite the change of ownership of the Cougars. Interestingly, the contract between Cunningham and Carolina Cougars was inheritable with the change of ownership of the Cougar Club from the formers owners, Carolina Cougars, to the new owners, Munchak Corporation. The clause prohibiting the contract's assignment to another club without Cunningham's consent was not violated.
Cullumber Corporation has announced that its net income for the year ended June 30, 2017, was $1,353,412. The company had EBITDA of $4,948,000, and its depreciation and amortization expense was equal to $1,128,000. The company's average tax rate is 34 percent. What was its interest expense
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Net income = $1,353,412
Tax rate is 34% hence the company's EBT amount is calculated as
EBT = $1,353,412 / 0.66 = $2,050,624.24
Add back Depreciation and amortization to the EBT
= $2,050,624.24 + $1,128,000
= $3,178,624.24
The difference between the above and EBITDA amount will be the interest expense for the year
= $4,948,000 - $3,178,624.24
= $1,769,375.76
Therefore, the interest expense is $1,769,375.76

i. Households and businesses will increase spendingii. Households and businesses will not react.iii. Households and businesses will reduce spending.c. By how much will nominal GDP have to fall to restore equilibrium, according to the monetarist perspective?
Answer:
V = 3.5 (1 dollar circulates 3.5 times in a year)
In short term – Reduction of aggregate demand and real output
In long term – reduction of wages and increase of real output of firms
Nominal GDP will fall by $20 bilion
Explanation:
Equation of monetisation =
Total money in circulation = Total money demanded/total output
Money Supply * Money Velocity = Price Level * GDP
V = PY/M
Substituting the given values, we get –
V = 336/96
V = 3.5
This indicates 1 dollar circulates 3.5 times in a year
In short term – Reduction of aggregate demand and real output
In long term – reduction of wages and increase of real output of firms
Nominal GDP will fall by $20 bilion

A company uses return on investment (ROI) to measure the performance of its business units. The company manufactures and distributes consumer goods. Last year, management identified a possible shortage of raw materials. To mitigate this risk, a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory. As a result of this decision, ROI will A. Have an unpredictable change. B. Decrease. C. Increase. D. Not change.
Answer: B. Decrease
Explanation:
Return on investment refers to the ratio between the net income and investment. It should be noted that a high return on investment implies that the investment's gains compare favourably to the cost.
In this scenario, since a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory, this will lead to an increase in the cost of production which therefore will reduce the return in investment.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

For a market to be competitive:______.
a. each buyer and seller is small, relative to the whole market; no single decision maker has any influence over the market price.
b. the price must be a fair price.
c. sellers should have substantial pricing power.
d. all you need are many buyers and many sellers
Answer:
Option A:
Each buyer and seller is small, relative to the whole market; no single decision maker has any influence over the market price.
Explanation:
A competitive market is a market that is characterized by free entry and exit. This means that any party has a right to enter the industry, do business, and leave it freely. In other words, no party or business holds enough stake to become a gatekeeper in that industry.
Furthermore, prices are determined by the forces of demand and supply, and cannot be arbitrarily set by any business.
No single decision maker has any influence over the market price.
This makes option A correct.

Suppose that Canada can produce 15units of timber or 3 units of grain. Suppose that Mexico can produce 6 units of timber or 2 units of grain. Which of the following is CORRECT?
a. Canada has a comparative advantage in grain production.
b. Mexico has a comparative advantage in grain production.
c. The countries would find trade mutually beneficial at a trading ratio of 1 grain for 2 timber.
d. Mexico has an absolute advantage in timber production.
Answer: B. Mexico has a comparative advantage in grain production.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage simply means when an economy can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another economy.
From the information given, since Canada can produce 15units of timber or 3 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 15/3 = 5 timber
On the other hand, Mexico can produce 6 units of timber or 2 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 6/2 = 3 timber.
Therefore, Mexico haa a comparative advantage in grain based on the above.

Since one of the characteristics of managerial accounting is planning and control, this is made possible by comparing actual to planned.
During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00
Answer:
d. $240.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)
2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)
2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units
2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;
2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125
2005 selling price per unit= $240
Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240
Auto Industries Company reported the following on its income statement:
Income before income taxes $420,000
Income tax expense (120,000)
Net income $300,000
If the income statement also shows interest expense equal to $80,000, what is the company's times interest earned ratio?
a. 5 times.
b. 6.25 times.
c. 5.25 times.
d. 8 times.
Answer:
Option c. 5.25 times is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
Income before income tax = $420000
Income tax expenses = 120000 dollars
Net income = $300000
Interest expense = $80000
Interest earned ratio = Earning Before Interest and Taxes / Interest Expenses
Interest earned ratio = 420000 / 80000
Interest earned ratio = 5.25 times
Option c. 5.25 times is the correct answer.
Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk.
Expected Return Volatility
Fund A 10% 10%
Fund B 15% 22%
Fund C 6% 2%
Required:
a. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
b. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
c. Which fund would your recommend without knowing your clients risk preference?
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given point.
Explanation:
Calculate each fund's Sharpe ratio. It Fund is the best danger reward with the highest Sharpe ratio.
[tex]\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{(Fund return - \text{risk free return)}}}{Volatility}\\\\\to Fund A= \frac{(10\%-4\%)}{10\%} = 0.6\\\\\to Fund B= \frac{(15\%-4\%)}{22\%} = 0.5\\\\\to Fund C = \frac{(6\%-4\%)}{2\%}=1.0\\\\[/tex]
Fund C consequently offers the best risk-benefit. and without understanding client risk preference, we will advise Fund C for any clients. If a client wants to have a 22 percent minimum volatility, we'll nevertheless propose that Fund C instead of Fund B is available, because an investor can take risk-free rates to the degree that the total portfolio volatility stands at 22 percent and deposit it in Fund C.
Natasha and Link have been married for 2 years. They live in North Carolina and are about to make an offer on their first home. Their goal is to own the property so that if either Natasha or Link were to die, the surviving spouse would own the property outright. They also want to keep things private and avoid probate. How should they title their new home?
A. Link should own the house fee simple and name Natasha as his beneficiary.
B. Tenancy in common is the best way to title the property because it meets all their objectives.
C. They should title the home as JTWROS as a way to accomplish their goals.
D. Because they live in North Carolina, they should title the home as community property.
Answer:
Natasha and LInk
Based on the spouses goal to own the property so that if either Natasha or LInk were to die, the surviving spouse would own the property outright, keeping things private and avoid probate, they should title their new home as:
C. They should title the home as JTWROS as a way to accomplish their goals.
Explanation:
The arrangement that meets their goals is Joint tenancy with rights of survivorship (JTWROS) which affords survivorship rights to either Natasha or Link in the event of the death of either spouse. In other words, JTWROS allows either Natasha or Link to automatically own the property without publicity or probate. This arrangement will meet all their arrangements, unlike tenancy in common. Moreover, there is no community property provision in North Carolina where they live. Lastly, naming Natasha presupposes that Link would die first. This does not meet their expectations.

Kingston Co. uses the percentage-of-receivables basis to record bad debt expense. It estimates that 1% of accounts receivable will become uncollectible. Accounts receivable are $420,000 at the end of the year, and the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $1,500. (a) Prepare the adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense for the year. (b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $800 instead of a credit balance of $1,500, determine the amount to be reported for bad debt expense
Answer:
a. Dr Bad Debts Expense $2,700
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts $2,700
b. $5000
Explanation:
(a) Prepare the adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense for the year.
Debit Bad Debts Expense [($420,000 x 1%) – $1,500] $2,700
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $2,700
(b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $800 instead of a credit balance of $1,500, determine the amount to be reported for bad debt expense
Bad debt expense = $4200 + $800 = $5000
Assume that you are a loan officer of a bank. A local church is seeking a $4 million, 20-year loan to construct a new classroom building. Church officers submit a comprehensive financial report that was audited by a reputable CPA firm. In summary form (the actual statement showed details), the church’s statement of revenues and expenditures indicated the following (in millions):
Revenues from dues and contributions .... $1.8
Revenues from other sources ....... 0.2
Total revenues ............. $2.0
Less: total expenditures .......... 2.0
Excess of revenues over expenditures .... $0.0
The church's balance sheet reported assets, mainly cash and investments (at market value), of $0.2 million. In addition, a note to the financial statements indicated that equipment is approximately $3 million. The church has no outstanding debt.
a. Is there any information in the financial statements that would make you reluctant to approve the loan? If so, indicate and explain.
b. Is there any other financial information of the type likely to be reported in a conventional annual report that you would like to review prior to making a loan decision? If so, indicate and explain.
c. Is there any other information, of any type, that you would like to review prior to making a loan decision? If so, indicate and explain.
d. Comment on the inherent limitations of the financial statements of this church, or any comparable not-for-profit organization, as a basis for making loan decisions.
Answer:
Explanation:
a.
There is little information on how funds are used or how much money is spent to manage the church. The financial statements have been prepared incorrectly.
Interpretation:
While drafting the financial accounts, the church committed many errors. The church's revenue is equivalent to its daily operations operating expenditures. They have approximately $3 million in funding assets that they do not owe any money on.
It may be deduced that the church is attempting to preserve asymmetric information, and therefore it will be better to justify its sources of income and use of money in order to determine whether they can or they cannot pay the debt.
b.
The revenue from various channels must be detailed in the yearly report so that the loan officer may make an informed judgment.
Interpretation:
Since payments and contributions account for 90% of revenue and revenue from other sources accounts for 10%, it's surprising how the church earns money in other ways as stated on the income statement. As a result, it's important to understand what other potential revenue streams the church has before approving the loan.
c.
The officer in charge of the loan should check the church's book records to make sure and guarantee that there are no outstanding loans. This situation necessitates a thorough examination and assessment.
Interpretation:
The church has $3 million worth of equipment. The church's expenses, on the other hand, are equivalent to the church's income. As a result, it's unclear how the church acquired the equipment without taking out a loan. As a result, the church must be urged to produce a full breakdown of its expenses, which may be thoroughly and fully studied to see whether there are any financing charges that the church is attempting to hide in its yearly reports.
d.
There is no direct or primary source of income for the church. It solely makes money from charity donations.
Interpretation:
The church's only sources of income are fundraisers and charitable donations. It also doesn't possess any significant revenue streams. Because the church is attempting to conceal numerous possible pieces of information, this may be a case of micro-management by the proprietors, and so these issues should be considered by the officer in charge of the loan before accepting the loan.
In order to update a production process, a company can spend money now or four years from now. If the amount now would be $20,000, what equivalent amount could the company spend four years from now at a compound interest rate of 15% per year?(All the alternatives presented below were calculated using compound interest factor tables including all decimal places
Answer: $34,980.13
Explanation:
The amount that the company will spend 4 years from now is simply the future value of the amount that it can spend today.
The amount to be spent today is $20,000 so the amount to be spent 4 years from now is the future value of $20,000:
= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years
= 20,000 * ( 1 + 15%)⁴
= $34,980.13

Compute the amount of depreciation expense for the 2016 income statement.
Answer:
1. We have:
Depreciation expense for 2014 = $920,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = $1,472,000
2. We have:
Depreciation expense for 2014 = $1,152,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = $1,843,200
3. Depreciation expense for 2016 = $1,972,000
Explanation:
1. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.
Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000
Sum of the year digits = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Depreciation expense for a year = Depreciable amount * (Remaining years / Sum of the year digits) ………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Depreciation expense for 2014 = $5,520,000 * (5 / 15) * (6 / 12) = $920,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = $5,520,000 * (4 / 15) = $1,472,000
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $920,000 + $1,472,000 = $2,392,000
Therefore, we have:
Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method 2014 2015
Equipment $5,760,000 $5,760,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation (920,000) (2,392,000)
Year-End Book Value 4,600,000 3,128,000
Depreciation Expense for the Year 920,000 1,472,000
2. Double-declining balance method.
Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = (1 / Number of estimated useful life) * 2 = (1 / 5) * 2 = 0.40, or 40%
Depreciation expense for 2014 = Equipment cost * Double-declining depreciation rate = $5,760,000 * 40% * (6 / 12) = $1,152,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = (Equipment cost - 2014 Depreciation expense) * Double-declining depreciation rate = ($5,760,000 - $1,152,000) * 40% = $1,843,200
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $1,152,000 + $1,843,200= $2,995,200
Note that under Double-declining balance method, the salvage value is not considered until the last year of the asset.
Therefore, we have:
Double-Declining Balance Method 2014 2015
Equipment $5,760,000 $5,760,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation (1,152,000) (2,995,200)
Year-End Book Value 3,456,000 2,073,600
Depreciation Expense for the Year 1,152,000 1,843,200
3. Compute the amount of depreciation expense for the 2016 income statement.
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of estimated useful life = 1 / 5 = 0.20, or 20%
Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000
Depreciation expense for 2014 = Depreciable amount * Straight line depreciation rate * (6 / 12) = $5,520,000 * 20% * (6 / 12) = $552,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = Depreciable amount * Straight line depreciation rate = $5,520,000 * 20% = $1,104,000
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $552,000 + $1,104,000 = $1,656,000
Net book value at end of 2015 = Equipment cost - Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $5,760,000 - $1,656,000 = $4,104,000
Depreciation expense for 2016 = (Net book value at end of 2015 - New Salvage value) / Remaining useful years = ($4,104,000 - $160,000) / 2 = $1,972,000

Consider each question below independently. Carry out all computations to two decimal places.
1. Compute the company’s return on investment (ROI).
2. The entrepreneur who founded the company is convinced that sales will increase next year by 50% and that net operating income will increase by 200%, with no increase in average operating assets. What would be the company's ROI?
3. The chief financial officer of the company believes a more realistic scenario would be a $1,000,000 increase in sales, requiring a $250.000 increase in average operating assets, with a resulting $200,000 increase in net operating income. What would be the company’s ROI in this scenario?
Answer:
1. ROI = Margin * Turnover
Margin = Net operating income / Sales
= 150,000 / 3,000,000
= 5%
Turnover = Sales / Average operating assets
= 3,000,000 / 750,000
= 4 times
ROI = 5% * 4
= 20%
2. Sales will increase by 50% and NOI will increase by 200%.
Margin = (150,000 * (1 + 200%)) / (3,000,000 * ( 1 + 50%))
= 10%
Turnover = (3,000,000 * ( 1 + 50%)) / 750,000
= 6
ROI = 10% * 6
= 60%
3. Sales will increase by $1,000,000. Average operating assets by $250,000 and NOI will increase by $200,000
Margin = (150,000 + 200,000) / (3,000,000 + 1,000,000)
= 8.75%
Turnover = (3,000,000 + 1,000,000) / (750,000 + 250,000)
= 4
ROI = 8.75% * 4
= 35%

Answer:
GT Stock
The correct statement concerning the dividend paid on August 1st is:
E. Both Marti and Leslie are entitled to the dividend.
Explanation:
a) Data:
June 7th, Leslie purchased 100 shares of GT stock
July 9th, Marti purchased 100 shares of GT stock
July 20th Dividend is declared (dividend declaration date)
July 11th = date of record for dividend payment
August 1st = date of dividend payment
b) Analysis: Both Leslie and Marti purchased shares of GT stock prior to the date of record. The date of record is when note is taken of the stockholders who are entitled to dividend. It is one of the three important dates concerning dividend. The other dates are the declaration date and the payment date.
