State Owned Enterprises are those enterprises that is legally taken by the government. This entity is formed by the government to take authority over the commercial activities. It is also known as SOE and Government Owned Corporations (GOC). These enterprises are formed to function on account of government. It helps in avoiding the unfair pricing policies by private companies in some markets.

In the given situation, the government should use the policy of turning the company into a public enterprise through SOE policy. With this, the government will be able to regulate the prices and avoid unfair pricing by the private companies.

So, the correct answer is option C.

A large bakery makes cakes for freezing and subsequent sale. The bakery can produce cakes at the rate of 484 cakes per day. The bakery sets up the cake-production operation and produces until a predetermined number (Q) have been produced. When not producing cakes, the bakery uses its personnel and facilities for producing other bakery items. The setup cost for a production run of cakes is $100. The cost of holding frozen cakes in storage is $9 per cake per year. The annual demand for frozen cakes, which is constant over time, is 54600 cakes. Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. What is the "daily" demand rate

Answers

Answer:

150

Explanation:

The computation of the daily demand rate is shown below:

Daily demand rate = Annual demand for frozen cakes ÷ total number of days in a year

= 54,600 cakes ÷ 364 days

= 150

By dividing the annual demand from the total number of days in a year  we can get the daily demand rate and the same is shown above

Lakeside Components wishes to purchase parts in one month for sale in the next. On June 1, the company has 15,000 parts in stock, although sales for June are estimated to total 13,600 parts. Total sales of parts are expected to be 10,500 in July and 12,700 in August. Parts are purchased at a wholesale price of $30. The supplier has a financing arrangement by which Lakeside Components pays 60 percent of the purchase price in the month when the parts are delivered and 40 percent in the following month. Lakeside purchased 14,000 parts in May. Required: a. Estimate purchases (in units) for June and July. b. Estimate the cash required to make purchases in June and July.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory (parts)= 15,000 parts

Sales June= 13,600

Sales July= 10,500

Sales August= 12,700

Parts are purchased at a wholesale price of $30.

Purchasing arrangement:

60 percent on the month of the purchase.

40 percent in the following month.

Lakeside purchased 14,000 parts in May.

A) To calculate the purchase for June and July, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

June= 13,600 - 15,000= -1,400

July= 10,500 - 1,400= 9,100

B) Cash Required:

Purchase from the month

Purchase from the month before

June:

Purchase from the month= 0

Purchase from the month before= (14,000*30)*0.4= 168,000

July:

Purchase from the month= (9,100*30)*0.6= 163,800

Purchase from the month before= 0

A company sells goods to a customer who will pay the full amount in 30 days.How should the company record the sale

Answers

Answer:

Credit sales

Debit receivables

Explanation:

This is a sales on account transaction which affect the sales and receivables account.

When this transaction occurs , the company has definitely made a sale which will lead to an inflow of cash in 30 days time, even though the income is recognized immediately according to the accrual method of accounting

To record this , the sales account is credited with the value of the goods sold and the account receivable is debited for with the same amount.

The receivable is a record of payment being owed to the company by its customers.

Johnson Enterprises uses a computer to handle its sales invoices.

Current Machine New Machine
Original purchase cost $15,300 $25,100
Accumulated depreciation $6,200 ------
Estimated annual operating costs $24,800 $19,800
Remaining useful life 5 years 5 years

If sold now, the current machine would have a salvage value of $10,800. If operated for the remainder of its useful life, the current machine would have zero salvage value. The new machine is expected to have zero salvage value after 5 years.
Should the current machine be replaced?

Answers

Answer:

The current machine should be replaced.  It costs more plus the overhead costs to maintain the current machine than it would cost to maintain the new machine.

The analysis is as follows:

Explanation:

1. Cost Analysis of Current Machine:

Book value of equipment = $9,100 ($15,300 - $6,200)

Annual Operating Costs for 5 years = $124,000 ($24,800 x 5)

Total cost = $133,100 ($9,100 + $124,000)

2. Cost Analysis for New Machine:

Purchase cost = $25,100

Annual operating costs for 5 years = $99,000 ($19,800 x 5)

Total cost for 5 years = $124,100 ($25,100 + $99,000)

Since both machines have no salvage value at the end of 5 years, it makes sense to purchase the new machine with a cost saving of $9,000 ($133,100 - $124,100) plus the overtime cost that will be eliminated.

An analysis and aging of the accounts receivable of Raja Company at December 31 reveal these data: Accounts receivable: $800,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts per books before adjustment (credit): $50,000 Amounts expected to become uncollectible : $65,000 What is the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable at December 31, after adjustment? Select one: a. $685,000. b. $750,000. c. $800,000. d. $735,000.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is D,$735,000

Explanation:

The cash realizable value of accounts receivable for the year is the accounts receivable of $800,000 less the amount expected to become uncollectible in the current year which $65,000.

The realizable value of accounts receivable =$800,000-$65,000=$735,000

The allowance for doubtful accounts before adjustment was already dealt with in previous year,I mean the difference between last  year allowance and this year was accounted for by posting $15,000 into allowance account thereby leading a closing balance of $65,000.

Smart Stream Inc. uses the total cost method of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. The costs of producing and selling 10,000 units of cell phones are as follows: Variable costs per unit: Fixed costs: Direct materials $150 Factory overhead $350,000 Direct labor 25 Selling and administrative expenses 140,000 Factory overhead 40 Selling and administrative expenses 25 Total variable cost per unit $240 Smart Stream desires a profit equal to a 30% return on invested assets of $1,200,000. a. Determine the total costs and the total cost amount per unit for the production and sale of 10,000 cellular phones.

Answers

Answer:

Smart Stream Inc.

a) Total costs:

Variable costs:

Direct materials = $1,500,000 ($150 x 10,000)

Direct labor = $250,000 ($25 x 10,000)

Factory overhead = $400,000 ($40 x 10,000)

Selling and Administrative = $250,000( $25 x 10,000)

Total variable costs = $2,400,000 ($240 x 10,000)

Fixed Costs:

Factory overhead = $350,000

Selling and admin = $140,000

Total fixed costs = $490,000

I) Total costs = variable plus fixed costs = $2,890,000 ($2,400,000 + 490,000)

II) Total cost per unit = $289 ($2,890,000/10,000)

Explanation:

The total cost method includes all the costs in arriving at the unit cost before adding the desired profit to arrive at the selling price of a product.

Total costs include the cost of goods sold and the expenses incurred in running the business for the period.

It is unlike the product cost-plus and variable cost-plus approaches to product pricing.  For the product cost-plus approach, only the costs of production is taken into consideration for arriving at the selling price.  In that case, the costs of direct materials and labor, and factory overheads would be considered, while variable and fixed selling and administrative costs are excluded.   The unit cost would have been $250.

The variable cost-plus approach considers only the variable elements of costs to arrive at the selling price.  These include the direct materials and labor costs, and variable element of the factory overhead and selling and administrative expenses.  The unit cost would have been $240 as stated in the question.

These different cost-plus pricing approaches are more suitable for some industries than others.  No matter the choice made, it must be noted that they result in different selling prices and can affect the competitiveness of a company.

During the month of June, Whispering Boutique recorded cash sales of $302,810 and credit sales of $130,219, both of which include the 7% sales tax that must be remitted to the state by July 15. Prepare the adjusting entry that should be recorded to fairly present the June 30 financial statements.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

1. Sales revenue Dr, $28,656      ($121,700 + $287,673) × 7%

                To Sales tax payable $28,656

(Being sales tax payable is recorded)

Here we debited the sales revenue as it decreased the revenue while we credited the sales tax payable as  it increased the liabilities so that the proper posting could be done

Working note

Credit sales = $130,219 × 100 ÷ 107

= $121,700

Cash sales = $302,810 × 100 ÷ 107

= $287,673

What is the residual income each year if the cost of capital is 8 percent?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of ROI for each year of the asset's life and residual income each year is shown below:-

Year            Investment base              ROI                   Residual income

1                   $2,950,000                       8%                  -$233,500

2                  $2,212,500                          11%                 -$233,500

3                   $1,475,000                          17%                  -$115,500

4                   $737,500                             34%                 -$56,500

ROI = Net income ÷ Total investment × 100

Net Income = Cash flow - Depreciation

Residual income = Net income - (Investment × Cost of capital)

Depreciation = Investment base ÷ 4 years

The return on investment and the residual income can be find out by using the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it in the attachment

This transaction does NOT require an accounting adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019 - If you believe that statement is correct - answer "No."

Explanation:

The check disbursement does not require an adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019, because the check is dated 1/6/2020.

Adjusting entries are changes to the journal entries which tries to match transactions to their correct accounting periods.  A check dated January 6, 2020 does not belong to the fiscal year ending December, 2019.

Adjusting entries are usually for Accrued Revenue, Accrued Expenses, Deferred Revenue, Prepaid Expenses, and Depreciation Expenses.

Oklahoma enacts a law requiring all businesses in the state to donate 10 percent of their profits to Protestant churches that provide services to indigent persons. Price-Lo Mart files a law suit to block the enforcement of the law. The court will probably decide that this law violates: a. the Free Exercise clause. b. the Supremacy clause. c. the Equal Protection clause. d. the Establishment clause.

Answers

Answer: d. the Establishment clause.

Explanation:

The Establishment Clause was put in place as a limitation by the United States Congress to prevent excesses or stop it from passing legislation forcing an establishment, religion, which broadly made it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. As this is the case with the state asking business to donate 10% of their profit to Protestant.

Answer:

The establishment clause.

Explanation:

Establishment clause, also called establishment-of-religion clause, clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbidding Congress from establishing a state religion. It prevents the passage of any law that gives preference to or forces belief in any one religion. It is paired with a clause that prohibits limiting the free expression of religion.

As the citizenry became more diverse, however, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning of the establishment clause.

Though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.

Joe Jenkins, the owner of Jenkins Manufacturing, is considering whether to produce a new product. Joe will be selling the product for a price of $70 per unit. If he uses the current equipment, Joe estimates the fixed costs per year to be $40,000 and variable costs for each unit produced to be $50. However, Joe is considering the purchase of new equipment that would produce the product more efficiently. Joe’s fixed cost would be raised to $60,000 per year, but the variable cost would be reduced to $25 per unit. If Joe's demand forecast is 900 units, should Joe produce the product using the existing or the new equipment? Produce using the existing equipment. Produce using the new equipment. Does not matter, which equipment is used. The product should not be produced at all.

Answers

Answer:

Jenkins Manufacturing

Joe should produce using the new equipment.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred using the old equipment:

Variable costs = $45,000 ($50 x 900)

Fixed costs = $40,000

Total costs = $85,000

Operating Loss = $22,000 ($63,000 - 85,000)

b) Costs incurred using the new equipment:

Variable costs = $22,500 ($25 x 900)

Fixed costs = $60,000

Total costs = $82,500

Operating Loss = $19,500 ($63,000 - 82,500)

Production using the new equipment would reduce the operating loss by $2,500.

The company should produce by using the new equipment.

Based on thw information given, the cost that's incurred using the old equipment will be

Variable costs = ($50 x 900) = $45,000

Fixed costs = $40,000

Total costs = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $40000 + $45,000

= $85,000

Operating Loss will be:

= ($63,000 - 85,000) = -$22000

The costs incurred using the new equipment will be:

Variable costs = ($25 x 900) = $22,500

Fixed costs = $60,000

Total costs = $60000 + $22500 = $82,500

Operating Loss = ($63,000 - 82,500) = -$19,500

Based on the calculation, the company should produce by using the new equipment.

Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,800 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:

Answers

Answer:

Total cash= $101,130

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hours=  7,800

The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour.

The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790.

We need to deduct the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.

Cash disbursement:

Variable overhead= 7,800*1.2= $9,360

Fixed overhead= (100,560 - 8,790)= $91,770

Total cash= $101,130

As of December 31, 2019, Sheridan Company had $3500 of raw materials inventory. At the beginning of 2019, there was $3000 of materials on hand. During the year, the company purchased $315000 of materials; however, it paid for only $252500. How much inventory was requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019

Answers

Answer: $314,500

Explanation:

When calculating how much of a material of any sort was used, the following formula should be used,

= Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

This is the same formula largely used to calculate Cost of Goods sold.

Here, the figure to be concerned about is the actual materials used not the ones paid for.

Plugging in figures into the formula then,

= 3,000 + 315,000 - 3,500

= $314,500

Thus $314,500 was the inventory requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019.

The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money

The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction.

Maria spends all of her money on paperback novels and beignets. In 2011 she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a beignet was $3.00.

Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?

1-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.

2-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.

3-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.

Which of the following give the real value of a variable?

1-The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011.

2-Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.

3-The price of a paperback novel is $9.00 in 2011.

Elgin Battery Manufacturers had sales of $1,000,000 in 2009 and their cost of goods sold represented 70 percent of sales. Selling and administrative expenses were 10 percent of sales. Depreciation expense was $100,000 and interest expense for the year was $10,000. The firm's tax rate is 30 percent. What is the dollar amount of taxes paid

Answers

Answer:

$27,000

Explanation:

The dollar amount of taxes paid is the earnings before tax multiplied by the tax rate.

The earnings before tax=sales-costs of sale-selling and administrative expenses-depreciation expense-interest expense

sales is $1,000,000

costs of sales=$1000,000*70%=$700,000

selling and administrative expenses=10%*$1,000,000=$100,000

depreciation expense=$100,000

interest expense=$10,000

earnings before tax=$1,000,000-$700,000-$100,000-$100,000-$10,000=$90,000

taxes paid=$90000 *30%=$27,000

A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated.

Answers

Answer:

A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.

Explanation:

Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change  is insignificant (materiality principle).

Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.

On January 1, 20X6, Nichols Corporation issued 10-year bonds at par to unrelated parties. The bonds have a 10% stated rate, face value of $300,000, and pay interest every June 30 and December 31. On December 31, 20X9, Harn Corporation purchased all of Nichols' bonds in the open market at a $6,000 discount. Harn is Nichols' 80 percent owned subsidiary. Harn uses the effective interest method of amortization. The consolidated income statement for the year 20X9 should report with respect to the bonds:
I. interest expense of $30,000.
II. a gain of $6,000
a. I and II
b. II but not I
c. Either I or II
d. Neither I nor II

Answers

Answer:

a. I and II

Explanation:

As there is an interest expense of $30,000 i.e come from

= $30,000

This would be reflected on the consolidated income statement for the year 20X6. And the extraordinary gain which generally disclosed to the financial statement notes

Therefore in the given situation it is being considered as only a gain, not as an extraordinary gain

Hence, both the amounts i.e interest expense and the gain will be reported in consolidated income statement for the year 20X6

Explanation:

Check all true statements regarding CMBS:

a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS

b.Loans in a CMBS deal are recourse loans The multifamily/apartment CRE sector never uses CMBS for financing as it relies on RMBS

c.CMBS are the main source of financing for commercial real estate loans

d.The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal

Answers

Answer: A and D only

Explanation:

CMBS Loan are also referred to as a Conduit Loan, this is a type of real estate loan usually commercial, which is secured by a first-position mortgage on a commercial property. These loans are usually packaged, and sold by a Conduit Lender, commercial banks, investment banks, and syndicates of banks.

Loans in a CMBS are always bigger so they are less in a CMBS deal. Sometimes it’s onlyone loan in a Single Asset (SA) CMBS deal

Prepayments are discouraged in CMBS through defeasance,prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees.

Answer:

a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS

d. The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal

Explanation:

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) as the name implies are mortgage backed securities that are secured with commercial mortgages while Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) are mortgage backed securities secured by residential property.

a) CMBS are based on mortgages which usually have a fixed term contract in place meaning that prepayment is less of a thing with CMBS than with RMBS so the former does indeed have a less exposure to prepayment risk than the latter.

d) This is indeed true because both packages have to look appealing to investors but can only use different amounts to reach the minimum threshold. This is because Commercial Mortgages pay more than Residential Mortgages so more RMBS have to be pulled together to form an attractive investment as opposed to CMBS. This is why the number in CMBS are usually less than that of RMBS.

$9,838.56

Explanation:

The bond interest expense is the actual finance cost of using the funds made available by bondholders while the coupon payment is the portion of the finance cost paid to them periodically.

Interest expense=bonds cash proceeds*yield to maturity*6/12

bonds cash proceeds is $163,976

yield to maturity is 12%

interest expense=$163,976*12%*6/12=$9,838.56  

Answer:

$9,838.56  

Explanation:

Interest Expense using effective interest rate method can determined by multiplying the carrying value of the bond and yield rate of the bond because the bonds issued on the discount has different interest expense than the interest payment made to bond holder.

As the interest is paid semiannually the interest expense will be calculated for only 6 months.

Interest expense=Cash proceeds on issuance of bond x YTM x 6/12

As per given data

Cash proceeds are $163,976

YTM is 12%

Interest expense=$163,976 x 12% x 6/12=$9,838.56
