Answer: 9/16/2020
Explanation:
Following the information given in the question, it should be noted that the partnership will terminate on 9/16/2020.
A partnership is terminated in a situation whereby there's a transfer of interest such that there's only one partner who then remains. In this casez the termination date will be the date that the interest was sold. Since the sale of interest took place on September 16, 2020, then this will be the termination date.
The following information is from Princeton Company's comparative balance sheets.
At December 31 Current year Priro year
Common stock, $10 par value $124,000 118,000
Paid—in capital in excess of par 585,000 351,000
Retained earnings 331,500 305,500
The company's net income for the current year ended December 31 was $57,000.
Required:
Write down the T-accounts to calculate the cash received from the sale of its common stock during the current year.
Answer:
cash received = $ 240,000
Explanation:
On calculating the common stock $10 par
Beg. balance - $ 118,000
$6,000 - Issuance of common stock
Thus the ending balance = $124,000
On calculating the paid in capital in excess of par
Beg. balance - $ 351,000
$ 234,000 - Issuance of common stock
Thus the end balance - $ 585,000
Therefore,
The cash received - $ 240,000
Kiwi Plc sold an antique painting which had been purchased inJanuary 1996 for £21,000. It was sold for £4,200 in January 2021. The proceeds were received net of auction fees of £650. What is Kiwi Plc's allowable loss?
Answer:
$17,450
Explanation:
The antique painting that was bought in January 1996 was sold for $21,000
It was sold for 4,200 in January 2021
It received a net auction fee of 650
Therefore the allowable loss can be calculated as follows
= 21,000-4200+650
= 17,450
Hence the allowable loss is $17,450
Forsyth Company manufactures one product, it does not maintain any beginning or ending inventories, and its uses a standard cost system. During the year, the company produced and sold 10,000 units at a price of $155 per unit. Its standard cost per unit produced is $125 and its selling and administrative expenses totaled $245,000. Forsyth does not have any variable manufacturing overhead costs and it recorded the following variances during the year:
Materials price variance $6,800 F
Materials quantity variance $10,500 U
Labor rate variance $3,800 U
Labor efficiency variance $4,700 F
Fixed overhead budget variance $2,800 F
Fixed overhead volume variance $12,300 F
Required:
a. When Forsyth closes its standard cost variances, the cost of goods sold will increase (decrease) by how much?
b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
Answer:
a. Cost of goods sold will decrease by $12,300.
b. Net income = $67,300
Explanation:
a. When Forsyth closes its standard cost variances, the cost of goods sold will increase (decrease) by how much?
This can be determined by calculating the net variance as follows:
Forsyth Company
Calculation of Net Variance
Details Amount ($)
Materials price variance (F) 6,800
Materials quantity variance (U) (10,500)
Labor rate variance (U) (3,800)
Labor efficiency variance (F) 4,700
Fixed overhead budget variance (F) 2,800
Fixed overhead volume variance (F) 12,300
Net variance 12,300
Since the net variance of $12,300 is positive which is favorable, this implies that the cost of goods sold will decrease by $12,300.
b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
The income statement for the year can be prepared as follows:
Forsyth Company

U.S. real gross domestic product changed from $14.6 trillion in 2006 to $14.4 trillion in 2009. During that same time period, the share of manufactured goods (e.g., cars, appliances) of U.S. real gross domestic product was 12.8 percent in 2006 and 12.0 percent in 2009. What was the dollar value of manufactured output Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. In 2006
Answer:
Missing word "b. In 2009"
a. Dollar value (2006) = Real GDP (2006) * Share of manufacturing goods (2006) / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 14.6 * 12.8 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 186.88 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = $1.8688 trillion
Dollar value (2006) = $1.87 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2006 is $1.9 trillion
b. Dollar value (2009) = Real GDP (2009) * Share of manufacturing goods (2009) / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 14.4 * 12.0 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 172.8 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = $1.728 trillion
Dollar value (2009) = $1.73 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2009 is $1.7 trillion
When you retire, you wish to have $3 million in your retirement account. You decided to add $2,000 every quarter to your retirement account and invest to generate annualized return of 8% from your investment, how many years do you think it will take to have $3 million in the account
Answer:
43.35 years
Explanation:
Use the following formula to determine the number of years
Future Value of Annuity = Periodic Annuity x ( 1 + Periodic Interest rate )^numbers of periods ) - 1 / Periodic Interest rate
Where
Future Value of Annuity = $3 million = $3,000,000
Periodic Annuity = $2,000 per quarter
Periodic Interest rate = Interest rate x Quarterly fraction = 8% x 3/12 = 2%
Numbers of periods = n = ?
Placing values in the formula
$3,000,000 = $2,000 x ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
$3,000,000 / $2,000 = ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 x 2% = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 + 1 = 1.02^n
31 = 1.02^n
Log 31 = n log 1.02
n = Log 31 / Log1.02
n = 173.41
Now calculat ethe nUmbers of years as follow
Numbers of years = n x 3/12
Numbers of years = 173.41 x 3/12
Numbers of years = 43.35 years
Grays Company has inventory of 25 units at a cost of $6 each on August 1. On August 3, it purchased 35 units at $11 each. 27 units are sold on August 6. Using the FIFO perpetual inventory method, what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold?
Answer:
$174
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold
Cost of goods sold=(25 units*$6) + [(25 units -27units)*$12]
Cost of goods sold =$150+$24
Cost of goods sold=$174
Therefore the amount that will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold is $174

Suppose that a competitive firm's marginal cost of producing output q (MC) is given by MC (q )equals6plus2 q. Assume that the market price (P) of the firm's product is $18 . What level of output (q) will the firm produce? The firm will produce nothing units of output. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The firm will produce 6.00 units of output.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
MC(q) = 6 + 2q ……………… (1)
P = $18 ………………………. (2)
For any firm, profit is maximized when MC = P. To determine the level of output (q) the firm will produce, we therefore equate equations (1) and (2) and solve for q as follows:
6 + 2q = 18
2q = 18 - 6
2q = 12
q = 12 / 2
q = 6.00
Therefore, the firm will produce 6.00 units of output.

During its fiscal year, a Pension Trust Fund buys 1,000 shares of stock, for which it pays $33,000. At year end, the stock has a fair value of $28,000. How should this fact be reported in the Trust Fund's financial statements?a. the investment should be reported at a value of $33,000.
b. the investment should be reported at a value of $33,000, and the loss in market value should be reported in a footnote.
c. the investment should be reported at a value of $30,500.
d. the investment should be reported at a value of $28,000.
Answer: d. the investment should be reported at a value of $28,000.
Explanation:
Investments should be recorded at their fair value in the financial statements. If a loss is made but the company is still holding on to the investment then the loss is unrealized which is the case here.
When there is an unrealized loss, it is to be debited to the Unrealized loss account and credited to the investment account to show that it is reducing. This will then leave the balance of the investment account at the fair value which in this case is $28,000.

Department R had 4,700 units in work in process that were 78% completed as to labor and overhead at the beginning of the period. During the period, 26,200 units of direct materials were added, 28,500 units were completed, and 2,400 units were 32% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period was a.25,602 b.35,600 c.28,500 d.30,302
Answer: 25602
Explanation:
The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period will be calculated as follows:
Beginning work in process = 4700 × (100% - 78%) = 4700 × 22% = 1034
Add: Unit started and completed = 28,500 - 4700 = 23800
Add: Ending work in process = 2400 × 32% = 768
The equivalent units of production for conversion costs will be:
= 1034 + 23800 + 768
= 25602
Margin of Safety a. If Canace Company, with a break-even point at $960,000 of sales, has actual sales of $1,200,000, what is the margin of safety expressed (1) in dollars and (2) as a percentage of sales? Round the percentage to the nearest whole number. 1. $fill in the blank 1 2. fill in the blank 2 % b. If the margin of safety for Canace Company was 20%, fixed costs were $1,875,000, and variable costs were 80% of sales, what was the amount of actual sales (dollars)? (Hint: Determine the break-even in sales dollars first.) $fill in the blank 3
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is given below:
a
Margin of safety in dollars is
= $1,200,000 - $960,000
= $240,000
As a percentage of sales is
= $240,000 ÷ $1,200,000
= 20%
b
Break-even in sales dollars is
= $1,875,000 ÷ (1 - 0.8)
= $9,375,000
Actual sales (dollars) is
= $9,375,000 ÷ (1 - 0.2)
= $11,718,750
In this way it should be determined
Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $157,500, $421,600, and $60,000, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the estimated annual usage are number of setups 2,100, machine hours 24,800, and number of inspections 1,200.
Required:
Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the overhead rate for each activity is shown below:
Machine setup is
= $157,500 ÷ 2,100
= $75 per machine setup
Machining is
= $421,600 ÷ 24,800
= $17 per machine hour
And, for Inspections, it is
= $60,000 ÷ 1,200
= $50 per inspection
In this way it should be calculated
During a period, an RV company purchased three vehicles for $33,000, $46,000, and $24,000, and sold two of them for $125,000. Using the specific identification method of costing inventory, they identified the $46,000 vehicle as still in stock. Calculate the gross profit for the period.
Answer: $68,000
Explanation:
If the inventory that remains is the $46,000 then that means that the cars costing $33,000 and $24,000 have been sold.
With specific identification, the actual prices of the stock are used so the cost of goods sold is:
= 24,000 + 33,000
= $57,000
The gross profit is therefore:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold
= 125,000 - 57,000
= $68,000
Say that Fed policy requires all banks to hold 8% of deposits in reserves. If Ventura Bank does not hold any excess reserves and the Fed increases the reserve requirement to 10%, what will be the result
Answer:
the money supply decreases
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that is required of commercial banks to keep as reserves. The higher the ratio, the lower the money supply
For example, assume reserve ratio is initially 8% of deposits. It is later reduced to 10%. 1000 is deposited
Increase in money supply = deposit / reserve ratio
1000 / 0.08 = 12,500
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
It can be seen the money supply decreased when reserve ratio was increased from 8% to 10%

The Dominican Republic and Nicaragua both produce coffee and rum. The Dominican Republic can produce 25 thousand tons of coffee per year or 5 thousand barrels of rum. Nicaragua can produce 18 thousand tons of coffee per year or 3 thousand barrels of rum. Suppose the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua sign a trade agreement in which each country would specialize in the production of either coffee or rum.
RequireDd
a. Which country should specialize in coffee?
b. Which country should specialize in rum?
Answer:
a. Nicaragua
b, Dominican Republic
Explanation:
A country should specialise in the production of goods for which it has a comparative advantage in its production
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
The Dominican Republic
opportunity cost of producing rum = 25,000 / 5000 = 5
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 5000 / 25000 = 0.2
Nicaragua
opportunity cost of producing rum = 6
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 0.17
The Dominican Republic has a lower opportunity cost in the production of rum. It should specialise in the production of rum
Nicaragua has a lower opportunity cost in the production of coffee. It should specialise in the production of coffee
An individual in the 36 percent tax bracket has $20,000 invested in a tax-exempt account. If the individual earns 10 percent annually before taxes and inflation is 3.0 percent per year, what is the real value of the investment in 10 years?
Answer:
the real value of the investment in 10 years is $38,614
Explanation:
The computation of the real value of the investment is given below:
but before that the rate of return is
= (1.10) ÷ (1.03) - 1
= 6.8%.
Now the
Future value
= $20,000 × (1 + 0.068)^10
= $38,613.80
Hence, the real value of the investment in 10 years is $38,614

Tri-County G&T sells 145,000 MWh per year of electrical power to Boulder at $ per MWh, has fixed costs of $ million per year, and has variable costs of $ per MWh. If Tri-County has MWh of demand from its customers (other than Boulder), what will Tri-County have to charge to break even?
Answer:
$105.85
Explanation:
Given that :
Fixed cost = $83.1 million
Variable cost = $30 / MWh
Number of demand, $1,000,000 MWh
Variable cost to other customers =[(1,000,000 + 145000) * $30) = $34350000
To break even :
Total Cost = Total revenue
(fixed Cost + variable cost) = total revenue
Let amount per MWh required to break even = x (amount sold to other customers)
(83100000 + 34350000) = (145000*80 + 1000000x)
117450000 = 11600000 + 1000000x
117450000 - 11600000 = 1000000x
105850000 = 1000000x
x = 105850000 / 1000000
x = $105.85
1. Center of the World. The Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999. Its value moved from S5,000/$ to S25,000/$. What was the percentage change in its value?2. Reais Reality. The Brazilian reais (R$) value was R$1.80/$ on Thursday, January 24, 2008. Its value fell to R$2.39/$ on Monday, January 26, 2009. What was the percentage change in its value?
Answer:
1- The percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- The change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.
Explanation:
1- Given that the Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999, and its value moved from S5,000 / $ to S25,000 / $, to determine what was the percentage change in its value, the following calculation:
5000 = 100
25000 = X
25000 x 100/5000 = X
2500000/5000 = X
500 = X
500 - 100 = 400
Therefore, the percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- Given that the Brazilian reais (R $) value was R $ 1.80 / $ on Thursday, January 24, 2008, and its value fell to R $ 2.39 / $ on Monday, January 26, 2009, to determine what was the percentage change in its value the following calculation must be performed:
1.80 = 100
2.39 = X
2.39 x 100 / 1.8 = X
239 / 1.8 = X
132.77 = X
132.77 - 100 = 32.77
Therefore, the change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.
LO, Inc., is considering an investment of $444,000 in an asset with an economic life of five years. The firm estimates that the nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first year will be $283,100 and $88,800, respectively. Both revenues and expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 2 percent. The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate its asset to zero over five years. The salvage value of the asset is estimated to be $64,000 in nominal terms at that time. The one-time net working capital investment of $19,500 is required immediately and will be recovered at the end of the project. The corporate tax rate is 24 percent.

Evaluate whether all of the following are considered to be investment (I) in calculating GDP.
a. The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use
b. The purchase of a new house
c. The purchase of corporate bonds
Answer:
only the purchase of a new house would be considered investment spending of the three options
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use is an example of consumption spending on durables
The purchase of a new house is an example of investment spending
The purchase of corporate bonds is not included in the calculation of GDP
