Discount factor, Year 1 through Year 4: 0.93; 0.87; 0.82; 0.76 Fill in the following blanks - just type the numbers without labels, dollar signs, commas, etc.
Answer and Explanation:
Without discounting :
Return on investment(ROI) for year 1 = -$100000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 2 = -$95000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 3 =-$50000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 4 =$10000
With discounting(PV/(1+r)^n):
Return on investment for year 1 = 0.93×-$100000= -$93000
Return on investment for year 2= 0.87×-$95000= -$82650

At the beginning of the year, Cann Co. started construction on a new $2 million addition to its plant. Total construction expenditures made during the year were $200,000 on January 2, $600,000 on May 1, and $300,000 on December 1. On January 2, the company borrowed $500,000 for the construction at 12%. The only other outstanding debt the company had was a 10% interest rate, long-term mortgage of $800,000, which had been outstanding the entire year. What amount of interest should Cann capitalize as part of the cost of the plant addition
Answer:
$72,500
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of interest capitalized is as follows:
= ($500,000 × 12%) + ($625,000 - $500,000) × 10%
= $60,000 + $12,500
= $72,500
The Average expenditure for the year is
= ($200,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + ($600,000 × 8 ÷ 12) + ($300,000 × 1 ÷ 12)
= $200,000 + $400,000 + $25,000
= $625,000

in 2001 an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease in europe led to the burning of millions of cattle carcasses. discuss the demand and supply implication caused by the outbreak, for an in-depth analysis of the discussion topic you may use all of the resources available to you. what impact would you expect on the supply of cattle hides, hide prices, the supply of leather goods, and the price of leather goods
Answer:
High demand
Low supply
High prices
Explanation:
The demand and supply of products, goods and services is heavily dependent on several factors ranging from economic, health and social factors. Disease and viral outbreaks have devastating effects on the market forces of demand and supply which in most cases will impact the market negatively with characteristically high prices and scarcity of products. The mouth and hoof outbreak in Europe was one which impacted the economy including farmers, leather and hides workers and all whose businesses and sustainability depends on cattles and its products. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the ease at which it could spread if curtailment isn't effected on time, millions of cattles were slaughtered on sighting the symptoms and it's products including skins are burnt leading to losses in billions on the path of cattle rearers, shortage of lather, hides and skins, restriction in international product trade in other to avoid its spread to other parts of the world. These resulted in low supply and high demand of cattles and its products including leather goods meaning High prices for little available.
The Tinsley Company exchanged land that it had been holding for future plant expansion for a more suitable parcel located farther from residential areas. Tinsley carried the land at its original cost of $62,500. According to an independent appraisal, the land currently is worth $150,000. Tinsley paid $25,000 in cash to complete the transaction. Required: 1. What is the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance
Answer:
$175,000
Explanation:
When an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the accounting standard IAS 16 requires that the cost price of the item acquired be at fair Value of the asset given up.
Fair Value of Asset given up is $150,000.
However Tinsley has also paid a trade -in allowance for the new parcel of land of $25,000.
Therefore, the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance is $175,000 ($150,000 + $25,000)
XYZ Corporation had 158 million shares outstanding on January 1, 2012. On February 2,2012, it issued an additional 30 million shares to the market at the market priceof $55 per share. What was the effect of this share issue on the price per share
Answer:
There was no effect of this share issue on the price per share
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the pre-issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = Numbers of outstanding shares x Market value per share = 158,000,000 shares x $55 per share = $8,690,000,000
Now calculate the issuance values
Numbers of shares issued = 30,000,000 shares
Vaue of issued equity = NUmbers of shares issued x Mrket value per share = 30,000,000 x $55 per share = $1,650,000,000
Now determien the post issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares + 30,000,000 shares = 188,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = $8,690,000,000 + $1,650,000,000 = $10,340,000,000
Now calcuate the Value per share
Value per share = Post Issuance Total value of equity / Post issuance total numbers of shares = $10,340,000,000 / 188,000,000 shares = $55 per share
There is no effect of share issue on the price of the share.

how to journalize this?
When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:
The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.
The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.
The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.
For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:
plz follow me
one thanks give me motivation for answering
plz mark me brainliest
Answer:
All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.
Explanation:
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
3. Purchased a new truck for $8,500 cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Truck and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
4. Purchased $500 in supplies on account. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Supplies and the liability Accounts Payable. To increase an asset, we debit and to increase a liability, use credit.
5. Paid $300 for supplies previously purchased. Since we previously purchased the supplies and are not buying any new ones, we analyzed this to decrease the liability accounts payable and the asset cash. To decrease a liability, use debit and to decrease and asset, use debit.
6. Paid February and March Rent in advance for $1,800. When we pay for an expense in advance, it is an asset. We want to increase the asset Prepaid Rent and decrease Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
7. Performed work for customers and received $50,000 cash. We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset cash and increase the revenue Service Revenue. To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.
8. Performed work for customers and billed them $10,000. We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset accounts receivable (since we have not gotten paid but will receive it later) and increase revenue. To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.
9. Received $5,000 from customers from work previously billed. We analyzed this transaction to increase cash since we are receiving cash and we want to decrease accounts receivable since we are receiving money from customers who we billed previously and not new work we are doing. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
10 Paid office salaries $900. We analyzed this transaction to increase salaries expense and decrease cash since we paid cash. To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
11. Paid utility bill $1,200. We analyzed this transaction to increase utilities expense and decrease cash since we paid cash. To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
Most of the time it is quite difficult to separate the three functions of money. Money performs its three functions at all times, but sometimes we can stress one in particular. For each of the following situations, identify which function of money is emphasized: _________
a) Brooke accepts money in exchange for performing her daily tasks at her office, since she knowsshe can use that money to buy goods and services: medium of exchange
b) Tim wants to calculate the relative value of oranges and apples, and therefore checks the price per pound of each of these goods quoted in currency units: unit of account
c) Maria is currently pregnant. She expects her expenditures to increase in the future and decides to increase the balance in her savings account: store of value
Answer:
a medium of exchange
a unit of account
a store of value,
Explanation:
Functions of money
1. Medium of exchange : money can be used to exchange for goods and services. For example, money serves as a medium of exchange when you pay $20 for your favourite jeans
2. Unit of account : money can be used to value goods and services, For example, $20 is the value of your favourite jeans
3. Store of value : money can retain its value over the long term, this it can be used as a store of value
On January 1, 2012, Sunland Company purchased for $690000, equipment having a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $40200. Sunland has recorded monthly depreciation of the equipment on the straight-line method. On December 31, 2020, the equipment was sold for $160000. As a result of this sale, Sunland should recognize a gain of
Answer:
$54,820
Explanation:
The computation of the gain is shown below;
But before that following calculations must be done
Annual depreciation as per the straight-line method
= ($690,000 - $40,200) ÷ (10 years)
= $64,980
Now accumulated depreciation for 9 years is
= $64,980 × 9 years
= $584,820
Now the book value is
= $690,000 - $584,820
= $105,180
Now the gain is
= Sale value - book value
= $160,000 - $105,180
= $54,820

Benjamin, Amelia, Harper, and Evelyn lived together in the U.S. all year 7. Evelyn is a qualifying child for the child tax credit.
1. Which credit(s) can the Hopkins claim on their 2020 tax return?
a. Child tax credit for Harper
b. Credit for other dependents for Evelyn
c. Both a and b
d. Neither a norb
2. Are the Hopkins eligible to claim the earned income credit?
a. Yes, because Benjamin has a Social Security number.
b. Yes, because everyone has a taxpayer identification number.
c. No, because their income is too high.
d. No, because Amelia has an ITIN.
Answer:
1. c. Both a and b
2. a. Yes, because Benjamin has a Social Security number.
Explanation:
According to tax laws, you can claim a child tax credit for an American dependant below the age of 17 which qualifies Harper for it. Evelyn however qualifies for a Credit for other dependents as she is a resident alien and has an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
Because Benjamin has a Social Security Number, the Hopkins are indeed eligible to claim an earned income credit. Married couples filling jointly can claim the credit if either of them are U.S. citizens with a valid Social Security number.

5 $200,000 $228,836.80 $28,837.00 $2,000,000
Explanation:
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.

Answer:
Macroeconomics.
Explanation:
Economics can be classified into two (2) main categories, namely;
1. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets. Simply stated, it focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
2. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Therefore, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
In this scenario, concerned by recent negative trends in economic indicators such as the consumer price index, gross domestic product, and inflation, the marketing manager of Kevin's Kayaks recommends that the company reduce its advertising spending. Thus, his recommendation is based on macroeconomics data.
This ultimately implies that, macroeconomic is a form of externality that typically affects the levels of inflation, unemployment, consumer price index, or growth in the economy as a whole (GDP).
A motel had the following business on a particular week. Number Occupied Type of room Sun Mon Tues Wed Thu Fri Sat Rate per night Nightly 60 60 60 60 60 $80 5-day Week 90 90 90 90 90 $64 7-day Week 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 $48 Weekend only 130 130 $56 If there are 200 rooms and the operating costs are $20,000 plus a cleaning fee of $5 per room per day, compute the profit during the one-week period. Group of answer choices $57,360 $57,059 $64,160 $64,160
Answer:
Total profit for week = $57360
Explanation:
To calculate the profit for one-week period, we first need to calculate the revenue for one week period based on the given occupancy.
We will first calculate the revenue for every day and add it to calculate the revenue for the week.
Sunday = 60 * 80 + 90 * 64 + 50 * 48 => $12960
Monday = 60 * 80 + 90 * 64 + 50 * 48 => $12960
Tuesday = 60 * 80 + 90 * 64 + 50 * 48 => $12960
Wednesday = 60 * 80 + 90 * 64 + 50 * 48 => $12960
Thursday = 60 * 80 + 90 * 64 + 50 * 48 => $12960
Friday = 50 * 48 + 130 * 56 => $9680
Saturday = 50 * 48 + 130 * 56 => $9680
Total revenue for one week = 12960 * 5 + 9680 * 2 => $84160
To calculate the profit, we will first calculate the total cost.
Total cost = 20000 + (5 * 200 * 5 + 5 * 180 * 2)
Total cost = $26800
Total profit for week = 84160 - 26800
Total profit for week = $57360
Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.
Answer:
The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.
Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.
