Answer: a credit of $243,900 to Premium on Bonds Payable.
Explanation:
The bonds were issued at a premium of 103 so the bond issue price is:
= 8,130,000 * 103/100
= $8,373,900
The premium is therefore:
= Issue price - Face value
= 8,373,900 - 8,130,000
= $243,900
This premium will be credited to the Premium on Bonds Payable account to show that the Bonds were issued for higher than their face value.

Government can address this problem of under-investment in research by (i) increasing restrictions on trade; (ii) establishing a patent system to provide inventors with exclusive control over their inventions for a period of time; (iii) subsidising the purchase of technology from other countries.
a. only (i) is used.
b. only (ii) is used.
c. only (iii) is used.
d. (i), (ii) and (iii) are all used.

nondisclosed information is material as regards the decision-making process, nullification of the insurance contract can be carried out by the insurer.
A firm has net working capital of $560, net fixed assets of $2,306, sales of $6,700, and current liabilities of $870. How many dollars worth of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets?
a. $1.70.
b. $2.52.
c. $1.63.
d. $1.87.
e. $2.09.
Answer:
1.79
Explanation:
Net working capital is $560
Net fixed assets is $2,306
Sales is $6,700
Liabilities is $870
Therefore the amount of dollar wort sales generated in every $1 can be calculated as follows
= 560+870
= 1,430
6700/1430+2,306
= 6700/3736
= 1.79×1
= 1.79

Capstone Inc. collects 85% of its sales on account in the month of the sale and 15% in the month following the sale. If sales on account are budgeted to be $265,000 for September and $225,000 for October, what are the budgeted cash receipts from sales on account for October? $fill in the blank 1
Answer: $231,000
Explanation:
The budgeted cash receipts in October is:
= (85% * October sales) + (15% * September sales)
= (85% * 225,000) + (15% * 265,000)
= 191,250 + 39,750
= $231,000
On June 30, 2021, Moran Corporation issued $9.0 million of its 8% bonds for $8.1 million. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. The bonds are dated June 30, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
First step
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021 = $9,000,000*8%*6/12
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021= $360,000
Second step
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021 = $8,100,000 * 10% * 6/12
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021= $405,000
Last step
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021 = $405,000 - $360,000
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021=$45,000
Therefore by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202 will be $45,000

[tex]\beta=0.3[/tex]
[tex]A_t=1780[/tex]
By using the formula, we get

A group of workers normally consists of 60 men, 30 women and 20 boys. They are paid at standard hourly rates as under:
Men Rs. 280.00
Women Rs. 160.00
Boys Rs. 140.00
In a normal working week of 40 hours, the group is expected to produce 5,000 units of output.
During the week ending on March 21, 2021 the group consisted of 70 men, 25 women, and 25 boys. The actual wages paid were Rs. 270, Rs. 165 and Rs. 130 respectively. 4,500 units were produced.
The Company is using Flexible Budgeting.
Calculate:
2(a) Labour cost variance
2(b)Labour rate variance
2(c) Labour efficiency variance
Given:
Standard Number of men = 60
Standard Number of women = 30
Standard Number of boys = 20
Standard hour rate for men = R.s 280
Standard hour rate for women = R.s 160
Standard hour rate for boys = R.s 140
Weekly working hour = 40 hours
Expected unit = 5,000 units
Number of men in march week = 70
Number of women in march week = 25
Number of boy in march week = 25
Actual wage for men = R.s 270
Actual wage for women = R.s 165
Actual wage for boys = R.s 130
Actual units = 4,500 units
Find:
Labour cost varianceLabour rate varianceLabour efficiency varianceComputation:
Labour cost variance = [SC for AO] - AC
Labour cost variance = [( 70 × 280) + (25 × 160) + (25 × 140)] - [(70 × 270) + (25 × 165) + (25 × 130)] × 40
Labour cost variance = (27,100 - 26,275 ) × 40
Labour cost variance = R.s 33,000 (F)
Labour rate variance = (SR - AR) × AH worked
Labour rate variance = [(280 - 270)70 + (160 - 165)25 + (140 - 130)25]40
Labour rate variance = [700 - 125 + 250]40
Labour rate variance = [825]40
Labour rate variance = R.s 33000 (F)
Labour efficiency variance = (SH allowed - AH worked)SR
Labour efficiency variance = (0 - 0)SR

A job was budgeted to require 5 hours of labor per unit at $12.00 per hour. The job consisted of 8,100 units and was completed in 37,500 hours at a total labor cost of $489,800. What is the direct labor rate variance
Answer:
3,800 unfavorable
Explanation:
A job was budgeted at 5 hours of labour unit at $12 for an hour
The job consists of 8,100 units
It was completed in 37,500 hours
The total labor cost is $489,800
The direct labor rate variance can be calculated as follows
= 5×12×8100
= 486,000
486,000-489,800
= -3,800(since It has a negative sign it is unfavorable)

Question is incomplete : Find complete version in the comment section:
Answer:
$42,000
Explanation:
Product __ pound ___ price/pound ____ value
Feed ___ 100000 ____ 0.70 ________ 70000
Flour ___ 50000 _____ 2.20 ________ 110000
Starch __ 20000 _____ 1.00 ________ 20000

(Feed value / total value) * 100%
(70000 / 200000) * 100%
0.35 * 100% = 35%
Feed percentage * joint cost
35% * 120,000 = 42,000
________ refers to a method of matching a single project of a company to another company with a single business focus in an effort to assign an appropriate level of risk to the project. A. Outside assignment B. Ghosting C. Subjective assignment D. Pure play
The method that should be matched the individual project of a company to the other company having an individual business focus for allocating a risk level is pure-play.

Business Finance 344 Homework You plan to retire in 39 years. You are debating whether to deposit $69,931 into an account earning 9 percent annually today or waiting 14 years before making the deposit. How much more will be in the account when you retire in 39 years if you make the deposit today as opposed to waiting 14 years to make the first deposit
Answer:
If you made the deposits now, you would have $1,412,109.77 more than waiting 14 years.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $69,931
Interest rate (i)= 9%
Number of periods= 39 or 25
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
Wait 14 years:
FV= 69,931*(1.09^25)
FV= $603,020.65
Deposit now:
FV= 69,931*(1.09^39)
FV= $2,015,130.42
If you made the deposits now, you would have $1,412,109.77 more than waiting 14 years.
