On November 1, Year 2, Stokes Company paid Eastport Rentals $32,000 for a 12-month lease on warehouse space. Required Record the deferral and the related December 31, Year 2, adjustment for Stokes Company in the accounting equation. Record the deferral and the related December 31, Year 2, adjustment for Eastport Rentals in the accounting equation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

At receipt of payment on November 1, Year 2, entries required

Dr Cash   $32,000 (Asset)

Cr Deferred rental revenue  $32,000 (Liabilities)

On December 31, adjustment required

Dr Deferred rental revenue  $5,333.33 ( Liabilities)

Cr Rental revenue  $5,333.33 (Equity)

Hence the accounting equation becomes

$32,000 = $26,666.67 + $5,333.33

Assets (Cash) = Liabilities (Deferred rental revenue) + Equity (Rental revenue)  

Explanation:

The accounting equation is given as

Assets = ,Equity + Liabilities

Given that Stokes Company paid Eastport Rentals $32,000 for a 12-month lease on warehouse space, the monthly income to Eastport Rentals

= $32,000/12

= $2,666.67

Hence between November 1, Year 2 and December 31, Year 2, the income earned

= $2,666.67 * 2

= $5,333.33

The amount unearned (or deferred) at December 31, Year 2

= $32,000 - $5,333.33

= $26,666.67

At receipt of payment on November 1, Year 2, entries required

Dr Cash   $32,000 (Asset)

Cr Deferred rental revenue  $32,000 (Liabilities)

On December 31, adjustment required

Dr Deferred rental revenue  $5,333.33 ( Liabilities)

Cr Rental revenue  $5,333.33 (Equity)

B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage

Answers

Answer:

Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years            

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.

Data Missing:

Buying Cost of House = $320000

Interest rate = 7%

Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.

Solution:

Data Given:

Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%

So,

Formula:

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

Where,

P = Buying Cost of House = $320000

i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07

A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05

C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.

n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.

So,

$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]

Taking 25525.8 common,

320000 = 25525.8  ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

320000/25525.8  = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

Taking e common:

12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]

Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:

n = 17.89

n ≈ 18

n = 18 years

Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years

Variable costs would increase to $0.75, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. a. What is the current profit and proposed profit of the sales of AudioCables

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "$4,000 and $2,500"

Explanation:

Formula:  

[tex]\text{Profit = Sales - Total cost}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{\text{Selling price}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale} - ( \text{Fixed cost} + \frac{\text{Variable cost}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale})[/tex]

[tex]= 1.20 \times 30000 - ( 14,000 + 0.6 \times 30,000)\\\\= 36,000 -( 14,000 + 18,000)\\\\= 36,000 - 14,000 - 18,000 \\\\= 36,000 - 32,000 \\\\= \$ 4,000[/tex]

 The scenario was revised by installing new audio connection equipment:

The volume of revised sales[tex]= 50,000[/tex]

Fixed cost updated [tex]= \$ 41,000 + \$ 6,000 = \$ 20,000[/tex]

Cost of the updated component  [tex]= \frac{\$ 0.75}{unit}[/tex]

Unchanged purchase price/unit [tex]= \frac{\$ 1.2}{unit}[/tex]

[tex]= 1.2 \times 50,000 -(20,000 + 0.75 \times 50,000)\\\\= 60,000 -(20,000 + 37,500)\\\\= 60,000 -(57,500)\\\\= 60,000 -57,500 \\\\ =2,500[/tex]

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The amount needed is $192,000.

(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.

Explanation:

Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

This can be calculated using the following future value formula:

FV = P / i ........................... (1)

Where;

FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?

P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200

i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000

Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)

Where,

FV = Future value = $192,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125

n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300

Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:

$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)

$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075

M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075

M = $150.98

Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.

Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.

Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.

In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.

Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $573 million that must be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firm’s stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 6.6 percent, what is the present value of this liability?

Answers

Answer:

$159.59  million

Explanation:

The present value of the liability is the future value of the obligation which in this case is $573 million discounted at the 6.6% appropriate discount chosen by the analyst as shown below:

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=the present value of the obligation=the unknown

FV=$573 million

r=discount rate=6.6%

n=number of years before the liability becomes due=20

PV=$573 million/(1+6.6%)^20

PV=$573 million/1.066^20

PV=$573 million/3.590410405

PV=$159.59  million

The present value of cash flow streams at a particular interest rate is the sum of the present values of Cash Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:

Present value of Cash flow stream A at 10% interest rate = (100 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (300 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,181.50

Present value of Cash flow streams B at 10% interest rate = (300 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (100 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,239.13

b. Calculations of the present values of Cash Flow Stream A and B at 0% interest rate

The present value of cash flow streams at a 0% is simply the sum of Cash Flow Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:

Present value of Cash flow stream A at 0% interest rate = $100 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $300 = $1,600

Present value of Cash flow streams B at 0% interest rate = $300 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $100 = $1,600

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2018. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $70,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2017 was reported as $880,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 34%.
Required:
1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2013) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2013 to record the change in accounting principle. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

As CEO of ​, knows it is important to control costs and to respond quickly to changes in the highly competitive​ boat-building industry. When Consulting proposes that invest in an ERP​ system, she forms a team to evaluate the​ proposal: the plant​ engineer, the plant​ foreman, the systems​ specialist, the human resources​ director, the marketing​ director, and the management accountant. A month​ later, management accountant reports that the team and estimate that if implements the ERP​ system, it will incur the following​ costs:

a. $435,000 in software costs
b. $95,000 to customize the ERP software and load Aqua Marine's data into the new ERP system
c. $105,000 for employee training

The team estimates that the ERP system should provide several benefits:
a. More efficient order processing should lead to savings of $105,000.
b. Streamlining the manufacturing process so that it maps into the ERP system will create savings of $125,000.
c. Integrating purchasing, production, marketing, and distribution into a single system will allow Aqua Marine to reduce inventories, saving $225,000.

For Evaluating the effects of integrating purchasing, production, marketing, and distribution into a single system  - Plant foreman

For Estimating increase in sales from higher customer satisfaction  - Marketing director

For Estimate benefits and costs  - All team members

Explanation:

a.)

If the ERP installation succeeds , the dollar amount of the benefit is as follows :

From more efficient order processing savings = $105,000

From streamlining the manufacturing process savings = $125,000

From reduce inventories savings = $225,000

From increased sales profit = $155,000

⇒Total benefit = $ 105,000 + 125,000 + 225,000 + 155,000

                          = $610,000

⇒Total benefit if the ERP installation succeeds = $610,000

b.)

Firstly check the Costs for installation of ERP:

Software cost =  $435,000

Customizing ERP and loading data cost = $95,000

Employee training cost = $105,000

⇒Total cost = $ 435,000 + 95,000 + 105,000

                     = $635,000

⇒Total cost  = $635,000

Now,

As we have

Total Benefit in installation of ERP = $610,000

Total cost in installation of ERP = $635,000

⇒Net benefit = $610,000 - $635,000  = -$ (25,000)

∴ we get

If Aqua Marine install the ERP system , them they face loss.

So, They should not install the ERP system.

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.

Answers

Answer:

C. 60%

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00      

Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00      

Units started and completed = 6,500.00

Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).

Let % Completion be x      

X% of 1500 = 900      

X = 900*100/1500      

X = 60%.

Adriana and Belen are partners who share income in the ratio of 3:2 and have capital balances of $50,000 and $90,000 at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $90,000. How much cash should be distributed to Adriana

Answers

Answer:

$54,000

Explanation:

First, we add the ratios together to determine the total parts:

3+2= 5

Next, we divide the cash balance of $90,000 by the total parts:

$90,000/5 = $18,000

To find the amount of cash distributed to Adriana we multiply by her ratio:

5*18,000 = $54,000.
