Wintergreen uses the straight-line bond amortization method. The entry to record each interest payment includes a debit to Bond Interest Expense for $5,756, a credit to Discount on Bonds Payable for $506, and a credit to Cash for $5,250. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the bonds will equal _____.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Carrying value of bond = $140,887 .50

Explanation:

Balance in discount on bonds account as on Dec 31, 2019 = Total discount on bonds - amortized discount on 30 June, 2019 - discount amortized on Dec 31, 2019

= $10,125 - $506.25 -$506.25

= $9,112.50

Carrying value of the bond = Face value of bond - Balance in discount on bonds account.

= $150,000 - $9,112.50

= $140,887 .50

Note:

Amortization of discount on bonds = Total discount on bond / total number of interest payments

= $10125/(10×2)

= $10125/20

= $506.25

assume that autonomous consumption is $1610 billion and disposable income is $11,200 billion. Using the consumption function, calculate consumption expenditure

Answers

Answer:  $9,226

Explanation;

The consumption function is;

Consumption = Autonomous consumption + (Marginal Propensity to consume * Disposable income)

Marginal Propensity to Consume;

=Increase in consumption expenditure/  Increase in Disposable income

= 680/1,000

= 0.68

Consumption = Autonomous consumption + (Marginal Propensity to consume * Disposable income)

Sanders bought the house 15 years ago and has occupied it until it sold. On the date of sale, the house had a cost basis of $200,000. Within six months, Sanders purchased a new house for $600,000. What amount of gain should Sanders recognize from the sale of the residence g

Answers

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Recognized gain can be calculated by deducting the exclusion available from the realized gain. To qualify for exclusion from the realized gain Sanders has met all the requirements of exclusion.

NOTE: Requirments for exclusion are given at the end of solution

DATA

Sale proceeds = $500,000

Cost basis = $200,000

exclusion available for single person = $250,000

Gain =?

Calculation

Realized gain on sale of home = Sale proceeds –  Cost basis

Realized gain on sale of home = $500,000 - $200,000

Realized gain on sale of home =  $300,000

Recognized gain = Realized gain - exclusion available

Recognized gain = $300,000 - $250,000

Recognized gain = $50,000

Requirements for exclusion

Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad selling for $7. Daily fixed costs are $1,710, and variable costs are $4 per meal. With a capacity of 950 meals per day, the restaurant serves an average of 900 meals each day.Requried:a. Determine the current average cost per meal.b. A busload of 30 Girl Scouts stops on its way home from the San Bernardino National Forest. The leader offers to bring them in if the scouts can all be served a meal for a total of $150. The owner refuses, saying he would lose $0.60 per meal if he accepted this offer. How do you think the owner arrived at the $0.60 figure? Comment on the owner's reasoning.c. A local businessman on a break overhears the conversation with the leader and offers the owner a one-year contract to feed 300 of the businessman's employees one meal each day at a special price of $4.50 per meal. Should the restaurant owner accept this offer? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Nature's Garden

a. Determination of the current average cost per meal:

Variable cost per meal = $3,800 ($4 x 950) based on full capacity

Fixed costs per day =        $1,710

Total costs =                     $5,510

Average cost per meal = $5,510/950 = $5.80

b. Girl Scouts' offer of $150 for 30 girls:

Offered price per person = $5 ($150/30)

Projecting a loss of $0.60 per meal, this gives a total loss of $18 ($0.60 x 30)

Projected revenue from the offer = $150 + $18 = $168

Projected revenue per meal = $168/30 = $5.60

Actual revenue to be received per meal = $5.00

Loss of $0.60

The owner arrived at the $0.60 loss because his total costs per meal was $5.60.

c. Since the variable cost per meal is $4, the restaurant owner could accept the offer if the additional 300 meals will not increase his daily fixed costs due to lack of capacity.  If the fixed costs increase with this addition, then it may not be reasonable to accept the offer.  Based on this offer, the contribution to defraying fixed costs, given present capacity, is only $0.50 ($4.50 - $4) per meal.

Explanation:

Selling price of chef's salad = $7

Daily fixed costs = $1,710

Variable costs per meal = $4

Meals capacity per day = 950

Average meals = 900

Nature's Garden has a fixed cost of $1,710 based on current capacity of 950 meals per day.  The fixed cost may increase with increasing capacity.  This fact must be borne in mind when making decisions.

Trevor Company discloses supplementary operating segment information for its three reportable segments. Data for 20X8 are available as follows:

Segment A Segment B Segment C

Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000
Traceable operating expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000

Allocable costs for the year was $180,000. Allocable costs are assigned based on the ratio of a segment's income before allocable costs to total income before allocable costs. The 20X8 operating profit for Segment B was:

a. $180,000
b. $120,000
c. $126,000
d. $110,000

Answers

Answer:

Operating profit of segment B = $180,000

Explanation:

The allowable cost to any of the segment would be equal to the proportion that the segment income bears to the overall total income multiplied by the allocable cost.

Mathematically, we can use the realationship below:

Allocable cost to Segment B = Sales of segment B/Total sales × Alllocable cost

Allowable cost = 180,000

Total sales = 250,000+ 120,000 + 90,000 = 460,000

Allocable cost to B = (120,000/460,000) × 180,000 =  46,956.52  

Allocable cost to segment B =$46,956.52  

However,the question required us to determine operation profit.

Operating profit is the excess of sales revenue over operating expenses

Operating profit of segment B-= 200,000 - 90,000 = 180,000

Operating profit of segment B = $180,000

According to the World Banks's world development indicators, real gross domestic product (GDP) in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015 was about $1.65 trillion . What percentage of sub-Saharan Africa's real GDP is the E.U. emergency trust fund

Answers

Answer:

0.12%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is shown below:-

E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is

= (Amount of Plans ÷ Real gross domestic product) × 100

= (2 billion ÷ 1.65 trillion) × 100

= 0.12%

Therefore for computing the E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP we simply applied the above formula.

If the budget deficit increases then a. saving and the interest rate rise. b. saving rises and the interest rate falls. c. saving falls and the interest rate rises. d. saving and the interest rate fall.

Answers

Answer:

c. saving falls and the interest rate rises.

Explanation:

If Country A runs a budget deficit, it forces the government to issue bonds at reduced prices in order to raise funds to shore up the decreased government revenue.  When bonds are issued, the government is mopping up the savings, thus reducing the available savings.  With this increased budget deficit, interest rates will rise as the cost of funding increases to match the inflationary effect of the deficit.  And the vicious circle starts.

In October, Novak Company reports 20,100 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $198,000 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 22,000 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $9.10 per direct labor hour. In addition, the flexible manufacturing overhead budget shows that budgeted costs are $7.40 variable per direct labor hour and $42,400 fixed. Compute the overhead controllable variance.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $7,200U

Explanation:

The formula for computing the overhead controllable variance is:

Actual overhead - budgeted overhead

We need to first calculate the budgeted overhead from the question.

Budgeted overhead = (budgeted cost x standard hours) + fixed labor cost

($7.40 x 22,000 hours) + $42,400

= $205,200

Actual overhead incurred is $198,000

Therefore we have:

$198,000 - $205,200

= $7,200U

The U means unfavorable, meaning actual overhead incurred is less than budgeted overhead

You are considering buying a perpetuity contract from your insurance company that will pay you $500 annually where the payment will grow by 3% each year. Using a discount rate of 9%, the most you should be willing to pay for this contract is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

Maximum Amount Payable = $8333.33

Explanation:

Perpetual Annuity Payment = $500

Growth Rate = 3%

Discount Rate = 9%

Maximum Amount Payable = Present Value of Perpetual Annuity

Present Value of Perpetual Annuity =  Perpetual Annuity Payment / (Discount rate - Growth rate)

Maximum Amount Payable = $500 / (0.09 - 0.03)

Maximum Amount Payable = $500 / 0.06

Maximum Amount Payable = $8333.33

The profit-maximizing monopolist produces _____________ units and charges a price of _____________.

Answers

Answer: Q0; P3

Explanation:

The profit-maximizing monopolist produces Q0 units and charges a price of P3.

According to the exhibit graph, the monopolist will produce Q0 units. This is because a monopoly maximises profit at the point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost. Looking at the chart, the quantity of output where this happens is Q0.

The Monopolist will then charge a price of P3. After the profit-maximising output is realized, the way to find out the price the monopolist will sell at is the point where the output produced intersects with the Demand curve. At this point, the price listed is what people are willing to buy that amount of quantity for and so the Monopoly will sell at that price.

Answer:

a. might increase profits if it attracts a better pool of workers to apply for jobs.

Explanation:

Emeril is the owner of a restaurant. He decides to raise the wages of his workers even though he faces an excess supply of labor. His decision might increase profits if it attracts a better pool of workers to apply for jobs.

An excess supply of labor refers to the situation where there are too many number of people working in an organization at a particular period of time.

A corporation declared a stock dividend on November 1 and issued 9,000 shares of stock to its stockholders. Prior to the dividend, the balance in Retained Earnings was $850,000, the number of shares of $5 par value stock issued and outstanding was 60,000, and the market value of the stock was $12. This stock dividend will cause total stockholders' equity to:


a. decrease by $63,000.

b. remain unchanged.

c. increase by $45,000.

d. decrease by $108,000.

Answers

Answer:

b. remain unchanged.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The Decrease in retained earnings would be

= 9,000 shares × $12

= $108,000

Increase in common stock is

= 9,000 shares × $5

= $45,000      

Therefore the Paid up capital in excess of par is

= $108,000 - $45,000

= $63,000

Now

Effect on stockholder’s equity is

= -$108,000 + $45,000 + $63,000

= $0

hence, the correct option is b.

Consider a situation where a firm owned by you is competing against an identical rival firm. You are able to choose how much of your good (quantity) to supply to the market. You are given the option to set your quantity first, wait and let your rival set their quantity, or have both you and your rival set their quantities at the same time. What should you do

Answers

Available Options Are:

A. Set your quantity first.

B. Set your quantity second.

C. Set your quantity at the same time.

D. It doesn't matter.

Answer:

Option A. Set your quantity first.

Explanation:

The Cournot Equilibrium says that the decisions are made simultaneously and this simultaneous decision is that each firm will choose its own quantity, given what quantity of output its rival has set. Every firm will be producing a quantity that maximizes its profits and this approach will lower the profits because of Cournot Equilibrium.

The firm that sets its quantity first is at better position because the other firms might think about the worse market condition taking Cournot effect into account.

The optimal choice would be to set our quantity first, hence the option A is the right option.
