A construction company entered into a fixed-price contract to build an office building for $28 million. Construction costs incurred during the first year were $8 million and estimated costs to complete at the end of the year were $12 million.
How much revenue will appear in the company's income statement in the first year using the percentage-of-completion method? (Enter your answer in whole dollars.)
How much gross profit or loss will the company recognize in the first year using the percentage-of-completion method? (Enter your answer in whole dollars.)
Answer:
Total costs = Incurred costs + Estimated costs to complete
Total costs = $8 million + $12 million
Total costs = $20 million
a. How much revenue will appear in the company's income statement in the first year using the percentage-of-completion method?
Revenue to recognize = Incurred costs/Total costs * Contract price
Revenue to recognize = $8 million / $20 million * $28 million
Revenue to recognize = $11.2 million
b. How much gross profit or loss will the company recognize in the first year using the percentage-of-completion method?
Gross Profit to Recognized = Revenue recognized - Costs incurred
Gross Profit to Recognized = $11.2 million - $8 million
Gross Profit to Recognized = $3.2 million
Barney Company makes and sells stuffed animals. One product, Michael Bears, sells for $28 per bear. Michael Bears have fixed costs of $100,000 per month and a variable cost of $12 per bear. How many Michael Bears must be produced and sold each month to break even
Answer:
6,250 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units that should be sold and produced in order to break even is shown below:
as we know that
Break even point = Fixed cost ÷Contribution margin per unit
Here
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable costs
= $28 - $12
= $16
So, the breakeven is
= $100,000 ÷ $16
= 6,250 units

Chun-Li believes that she should earn an annual rate of 7.5 percent on this investment. How much should Chun-Li pay for this investment
Answer:
39,338.27
Explanation:
The amount he would be willing to pay can be determined by calculating the present value of the cash flows
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = 12,500
Cash flow in year 2 = 10,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 7500
Cash flow in year 4 = 5000
Cash flow in year 5 = 2500
Cash flow in year 6 = 0
Cash flow in year 7 = 12500
I = 7.5
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

The treasurer of a large corporation wants to invest $43 million in excess short-term cash in a particular money market investment. The prospectus quotes the instrument at a true yield of 3.47 percent; that is, the EAR for this investment is 3.47 percent. However, the treasurer wants to know the money market yield on this instrument to make it comparable to the T-bills and CDs she has already bought. If the term of the instrument is 77 days, what are the bond equivalent and discount yields on this investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Bond equivalent yield %
Discount yield %
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that,
EAR = 3.47%
1.0347 = (1+R ×77 ÷ 365)^365 ÷ 77
Now Take 365/77th root both sides
So,
1+R × 77 ÷ 365 = 1.00722
1+R × 0.2109 = 1.00722
R × 0.2109 =0.00722
R = 0.03423
Thus, Bond Equivalent Yield = 3.423%
Now
Discount Yield = (360 × 0.03423) ÷ (365+77 × 0.03423)
= 12.3244 ÷ 367.6361
= 0.03352
Thus, Discount Yield = 3.352%
A company had inventory on November 1, of 5 units at a cost of $24 each. On November 2, they purchased 14 units at $26 each. On November 6 they purchased 10 units at $29 each. On November 8, 11 units were sold for $59 each. Using the LIFO perpetual inventory method, what was the value of the inventory on November 8 after the sale?
a) $460
b) $471
c) $482
d) $472
e) $458
Answer:
e
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
If 11 inventories were sold, the inventory left would consist of 13 units purchased on the 2nd and 5 units the company had on the 1st
Inventory value = (13x 26) + (5 x 24) = 458
Assuming no crowding-out, investment-accelerator, or multiplier effects, a $100 billion increase in government expenditures shifts aggregate demand a. left by $100 billion. b. right by $100 billion. c. left by more than $100 billion. d. right by more than $100 billion.
Answer:
d. right by more than $100 billion.
Explanation:
In the case when the component of an aggregate demand changed because of the presence that means there is a multiplier so there is an increase in the output that should be more than the starting changes in the aggregate demand
So this is because when the aggregate demand curve shift righwards by having more than $100 billion
Therefore the option d is correct

Thomas is concerned about his company's ability to pay off its short-term debts. If he wants to know more about his company's liquidity, what should he do?
Calculate his debt to equity ratio
Calculate his net working capital
Calculate his total assets
Calculate his total liabilities
Answer: Calculate his net working capital
Explanation:
The net working capital shows a company's ability to pay off its short term obligations using its current assets.
It is calculated by subtracting the current liabilities of a company from its current assets. When net working capital is high, a company has enough to ensure that it can grow in the short run but when the net working capital is little or negative, the company will have a hard time paying off short term obligations which will affect its financial health.

"How would you need to shift the supply and demand curves in a market to result in a situation where equilibrium quantity increases while the equilibrium price change is indeterminate?"
Answer:
the demand and supply curve shift outward / to the right
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.
Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :
1. a change in consumers' expectation
2. a change in the taste of consumers
3. a change in income
A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.
Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :
1. A change in the price of input
2. A change in the number of suppliers
3. Government regulations
If the demand curve for a good shifts outward as a result of an increase in demand. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase.
If the supply curve for a good shifts outward as a result of an increase in supply, equilibrium price decreases and quantity increases.
Taking these two effects together, there would be an increase in equilibrium quantity while the equilibrium price change is indeterminate
