Grape Inc. uses the percentage of credit sales method of estimating doubtful accounts. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has an unadjusted credit balance of $3,500 and the company had $180,000 of net credit sales during the period. Grape has experienced bad debt losses of 4% of credit sales in prior periods. After making the adjusting entry for estimated bad debts, what is the ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts accou
Answer:
$9,700
Explanation:
The calculation of ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account is shown below:-
Ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account = Net credit sales × Credit sales percentage + Credit balance
= $180,000 × 4% + $2,500
= $7,200 + $2,500
= $9,700
So, for computing the ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account we simply applied the above formula.
A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000
Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000
But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.
Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of
= $18,000 - $12000
= $6000.
With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.
On January 1, 2021, the Blackstone Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 11) with a building for $600,000. Additionally, Blackstone paid a real estate brokerâs commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:
For the period March 1 to December 31, 2021 ...........$ 900,000
For the period January 1 to September 30, 2022 .......2,300,000
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022.
2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022.
Answer:
Blackstone Corporation
1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:
Cost of Land = $600,000
Broker's Commission = $36,000
Legal Fees = $6,000
Title Insurance = $18,000
Razing of old building = $75,000
Total = $735,000
2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:
Payment to contractor for building = $3,000,000
Plans, specifications, and blueprints = $12,000
Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000
Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000
Total = $3,191,000
Explanation:
a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed. All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized. The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.
b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date. The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.
Frederick Company has two service departments (Cafeteria Services & Maintenance). Frederick has two production departments (Assembly Department & Packaging Department.) Frederick uses a step allocation method where Cafeteria Services is allocated to all departments and Maintenance Services is allocated to the production departments. All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10
Answer:
The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.
Total employees of in Production Department is= 10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20
Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20
Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750
Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department
Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500
Fultz Company has accumulated the following budget data for the year 2020.
1. Sales: 31,410 units, unit selling price $85.
2. Cost of one unit of finished goods: direct materials 1 pound at $6 per pound, direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour, and manufacturing overhead $7 per direct labor hour.
3. Inventories (raw materials only): beginning, 10,120 pounds; ending, 15,480 pounds.
4. Selling and administrative expenses: $170,000; interest expense: $30,000.
5. Income taxes: 30% of income before income taxes.
Prepare a schedule showing the computation of cost of goods sold for 2020.
Answer:
COST OF Goods SOLD $ 1,1539,110
Explanation:
Fultz Company
Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold for 2020
As there are no beginning and ending finished goods inventories the total units produced are sold. (Finished Goods required 31410 Units)
Inventories raw materials : beginning, 10,120 pounds
Add Direct Materials Purchases 36770 pounds
Less Inventories ending raw materials , 15,480 pounds
Direct Materials Used 31410 pounds
Materials 1 pound at $6 per pound= $ 6* 31410 Units= $ 188460
Direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour= $ 36* 31410 Units= $ 1130780
Manufacturing Overhead $7 per direct labor hour= $ 7* 31410 Units=
$ 219870
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 1,1539,110
There are no beginning and ending work in process inventories so the total manufacturing cost gives us the COST OF Goods SOLD.
Which statement is false? Marginal cost and marginal productivity are inversely related. Marginal cost is the change in a firm's total cost due to a one unit change in output. Costs that are small and unimportant with little impact on profits are called marginal costs. A marginal cost curve will always intersect the average total cost curve at the minimum average total cost. Consider the table. Output 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Total cost 100 110 115 125 140 160 190 230 280 340 420 What is the marginal cost of the fifth unit based on the table? $0 −$20 $20 $160
Answer:
Option (c) Marginal cost of fifth unit = $20
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
1)
Option (b) : Marginal cost is the change in the total cost of firm due to one unit change in output.
We can calculate the marginal cost by using following formula :
Marginal cost = Total cost ÷ Quantity
2)
Marginal cost of fifth unit = Total cost at unit 5 - total cost at unit 4
= $160 - $140
= $20
ImpressMe Products embosses notebooks with school and corporate logos. Last year, the company’s direct labor payroll totaled $352,100 for 50,300 direct labor hours. The standard wage rate is $6.75 per direct labor hour. Calculate ImpressMe’s direct labor rate variance. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $12,575 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Last year, the company’s direct labor payroll totaled $352,100 for 50,300 direct labor hours. The standard wage rate is $6.75 per direct labor hour.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 352,100/50,300= $7 per hour
Direct labor rate variance= (6.75 - 7)*50,300
Direct labor rate variance= $12,575 unfavorable
If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Jiminy’s Cricket Farm issued a bond with 25 years to maturity and a semiannual coupon rate of 4 percent 3 years ago. The bond currently sells for 108 percent of its face value. The company’s tax rate is 22 percent. The book value of the debt issue is $30 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 10 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $15 million, and the bonds sell for 73 percent of par. a.What is the company’s total book value of debt? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g. 1,234,567.)b.What is the company’s total market value of debt? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g. 1,234,567.)c.What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Explanation:
a.What is the pre-tax cost of debt?This question is basically asking for the bond’s current yield to maturity, which is the pre-tax cost of long term debt in the capital markets for this company today.Price = 1.08 * 1000 = 1080+/- PV23 * 2 = 46 N.10 * 1000 = 100 / 2 = 50 PMT1000 FVSolve for i/y = 4.5801 is the semi-annual yield to maturity * 2 = 9.1601% annual YTM
b.What is the after-tax cost of debt?9.1601 * (1 - .35) = 5.9541 after tax cost of debt.This is the true cost of debt to the company because the company gets a tax deduction (a tax shield!) for paying interest on its debt.
Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $ 1 comma 476 comma 000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 300 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places
Answer:
42,51%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment
Calculation of Average Profits
Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years
= (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10
= $2,510,000 / 8
= $313,750
Calculation of Average Investment
Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2
= $1,476,000/2
= $738,000
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100
= 42,51%
Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $68,000 and $3,450, respectively. During Year 2, Allegheny wrote off $6,300 of Uncollectible Accounts. Using the percent of receivables method, Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $5,400. What amount will Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement
Answer:
$8,250
Explanation:
Relevant data provided for compute the Uncollectible Accounts Expense is here below:-
Amount written off = $6,300
Closing balance = $5,400
Opening balance = $3,450
The computation of Uncollectible Accounts Expense is shown below:-
Uncollectible Accounts Expense = Amount written off + Closing balance - Opening balance
= $6,300 + $5,400 - $3,450
= $11,700 - $3,450
= $8,250
Therefore for computing the Uncollectible Accounts Expense we simply applied the above formula.

The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual total direct labor cost was $82,960. The direct labor efficiency variance for January is:
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,800 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard direct labor-hours 1.4 hours per unit
Standard direct labor rate $ 12.00 per hour
Actual production was 5,500 units.
The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 5,500*1.4= 7,700
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (7,700 - 6,800)*12

Answer:
($26,280)
This represents net cash used up by investing activities
Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow and vice versa.
Hence net cash provided by investing activities
= $4380 - $30660
= ($26,280)
Other activities are operating and financing activities.

Less: Expected return on plant assets $80,300 ($803,000 × 10%)
Pension expense $1,337,700
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount of pension expense could come
Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Why do more than half of enterprise application projects exceed budgets, deliver less than expected benefits, or experience overruns?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
1. Underfinancing: One main reason that cause budget overrun and less than expected benefits is underfinancing. Allocation of an adequate amount of budget to project at the beginning will lead to a budget overrun or failure.
2. Unfeasible Cost Estimates: Estimation of cost is a vital process in a project and another common reason for budget overrun. When the cost is calculated by inexperienced or unqualified personnel, the project is going to face budget overruns.
3. Underestimating the Project Complexity: Big projects are usually at the risk of overrunning its budget as a result of bigger complications that may arise during its execution.
4. Lack of Resource Planning: When one fails to plan the resources that are available effectively, then this would lead to a budget overrun and less benefits. A common mistakes that cause overrun is failure to estimate the resources which would be utilized during the project.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, Norstar Industries reported net income of $655,000. At January 1, 2016, the company had 900,000 common shares outstanding. The following changes in the number of shares occurred during 2016: Apr. 30 Sold 60,000 shares in a public offering. May 24 Declared and distributed a 5% stock dividend. June 1 Issued 72,000 shares as part of the consideration for the purchase of assets from a subsidiary. Required: Compute Norstar's earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Answer:
1.272 per share
Explanation:
The computation of earnings per share is shown below:-
Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding = outstanding common shares ÷ Net income
= 900,000 ÷ $707,810
= 1.272 per share
Where,
Net Income = Preferred Dividends ÷ Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding
= $655,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05) + ( 60,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months) × 1.05 + (72,000 × 7 months ÷ 12 months)
= $623,810 + 40,000 × 1.05 + 42,000
= $623,810 + 42,000 + 42,000
= 707,810

Answer:
The correct option is C) If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.
Explanation:
Natural monopoly occurs when there is a hig cost of entry into a particular market niche. The high cost is usually caused by expensive equipment and infrastructural set up for manufacturing as well as maintenance costs.
Therefore, If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.
Distribution of water falls into the category of natural monopoly. Due to the prevailing circumstances, Fixed cost is larger comparable to variable cost such that it is cheaper for a single firm to serve the market.

LaserLife Printer Company is a decentralized organization with several autonomous divisions. The division managers are evaluated, in part, on the basis of the change in their return on invested assets. Operating results for the Packer Division for 2019 are budgeted as follows:
Sale $5,000,000
Less variable costs 2,500,000
Contribution margin 2,500,000
Less fixed expenses 1,800,000
Net operating income $ 700,000
Invested capital for the division are currently $3,600,000. For 2019, the division can add a new product line for an investment of $600,000. The new product line will generate sales of $1,600,000 and will incur fixed expenses of $600,000 annually. Variable costs of the new product will average 60% of the selling price.
REQUIRED:
1. What is current ROI? Profit margin (or Return on sales)? Investment (or Capital) turnover?
2. What is the effect on ROI of accepting the new product line?
If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers, would this encourage the division to accept the new product line? Explain and show computations.
Answer:
1. The current ROI is 19.44%. The Profit margin (or Return on sales) is 14%. TheInvestment (or Capital) turnover is 1.39 times.
2. The effect on ROI of accepting the new product line is 17.62%. ROI will be decreased by 1.82%
If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers the residual income amount would be of $4,000 and so Managers should accept the new product line
Explanation:
1. To calculate the profit margin we have to use the following formula:
Profit margin= Net operating income/Sale
Hence, Profit margin = $700,000/$5,000,000 = 14%
ROI= Net operating income/Invested capital
Hence, ROI = $700,000/$3,600,000 = 19.44%
Investment (or Capital) turnover=Sale/Invested capital
Hence, Investment (or Capital) turnover = $5,000,000/$3,600,000 = 1.39 times
2. The Net operating income= ($5,000,000+$1,600,000)-($2,500,000+1,600,000*60%)-$(1,800,000+$600,000) = $740,000
Hence, ROI = $740,000/$4,200,000 = 17.62%
ROI will be decreased by (19.44-17.62) 1.82%.
In order to know if the division would accept the new product line If the company's required rate of return is 6% and residual income (RI) is used to evaluate managers, we would have to calculate the residual income as follows:
Residual income = operating income - invesed capital*required rate of return
= ($740,000-$700,000)-$600,000*6%
= $4,000
Therefore, Managers should accept the new product line.

Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000
Explanation:
Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.
Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.
In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.
Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000
Actual overheads incurred = $84,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads = $102,000 - $84,000 = $18,000
