Answer:
$800
Explanation:
The first task here is to determine the amount of net income recognized in the year which is the earned revenue minus incurred expenses as shown thus:
net income=earned revenue-incurred expenses
earned revenue= $1,100
incurred expenses=$400
net income=$1,100-$400=$700
retained earnings for the period=net income-dividends paid
dividends paid=$200
retained earnings for the period=$700-$200=$500
ending balance of retained earnings=beginning retained earnings+retained earnings for the period
beginning retained earnings=$300
ending balance of retained earnings=$300+$500=$800
Binder Corporation agreed to build a warehouse for a client at an agreed contract price of $4,000,000. Expected (and actual) costs for the warehouse follow: 2017, $640,000; 2018, $1,600,000; and 2019, $800,000. The company completed the warehouse in 2019. Compute net income for each year 2017 through 2019 using the cost-to-cost method. a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000 b. 2017: $640,000 2018: $1,600,000 2019: $800,000 c. 2017: $0 2018: $0 2019: $960,000 d. 2017: $320,000 2018: $320,000 2019: $320,000
Answer:
The correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.
Explanation:
The formula for cost to cost method is expected or actual cost incurred to date divided by the total cost of the project or contract.
Therefore, we have:
Total cost = Cost in 2017 + Cost in 2018 + Cost in 2019 = $640,000 + $1,600,000 + $800,000 = $3,040,000
Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2017 / Total cost = $640,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.21
Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2018 / Total cost = $1,600,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.53
Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2019 / Total cost = $800,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.26
Revenue in 2017 = Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.21 * $4,000,000 = $840,000
Revenue in 2018 = Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.53 * $4,000,000 = $2,120,000
Revenue in 2019 = Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.26 * $4,000,000 = $1,040,000
Therefore, net income for each year 2017 through 2019 using the cost-to-cost method can be computed as follows:
Net income for year 2017 = Revenue in 2017 - Cost in 2017 = $840,000 - $640,000 = $200,000
Net income for year 2018 = Revenue in 2018 - Cost in 2018 = $2,120,000 - $1,600,000 = $520,000
Net income for year 2019 = Revenue in 2019 - Cost in 2019 = $1,040,000 - $800,000 = $240,000
Therefore, the correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.

General Manufacturing expects to have 40,000 pounds of raw materials inventory on hand on June 30, the end of the current year. The company has budgeted the following production for the first four months of the coming year:
Production (units)
July 100,000
August 120,000
September 150,000
October 110,000
General Manufacturing desires each month's ending raw materials inventory to be 20% of the following month's production needs. A finished unit requires two pounds of raw materials. General Manufacturing's budgeted purchases of materials for September is:
a. 60,000 lbs.
b. 248,000 lbs.
c. 228,000 lbs.
d. 284,000 lbs.
e. 300,000 lbs.
Answer:
d. 284,000 lbs.
Explanation:
The computation of the budgeted purchase of material for the september month is as follows
= Raw material needed for production + closing stock - opening stock
= (150,000 × 2) + (110,000 × 2 × 20%) - 60,000
= 300,000 + 44,000 - 60,000
= 284,000 lbs
Hence, the budgeted purchase of material for the september month is 284,000 lbs
The following transactions took place for Tanaka company in June: Purchased equipment on account for $9,800. Billed customers $5,600 for services performed. Made payment of $2,400 on account for equipment purchased earlier in month. Collected $3,900 on customer accounts. What are the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable balances at June 30, 2016
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The Accounts Payable balance would be calculated as:
Beginning balance = $9800
Less: Amount Paid = $2400
Account payable = $7400
The Accounts Receivable balances at June 30, 2016 would be:
Beginning balance = $5600
Less: Amount received = $3900
Account receivable balance = $1700
Dell is undergoing a major expansion. The expansion will be financed by issuing new 15-year, $1,000 par, 9% annual coupon bonds. The market price of the bonds is $1,070 each. Dell's flotation expense on the new bonds will be $50 per bond. Dell's marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the pre-tax cost of debt for the newly-issued bonds
Answer:
8.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the pre-tax cost of debt is as follows:
Market price of the bond is
= $1,070 - $50
= $1,020
Coupon payment = Face value × Annual coupon rate
= $1,000 × 9%
= $90
Now YTM would be
Given that
NPER = 15
PMT = $90
PV = $1,020
FV = $1,000
The formula is given below:
=RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 8.76%
Joe wants to open a restaurant and feels his best chance of being successful would be to purchase the rights to a well-known restaurant concept. This form of restaurant ownership is known as which of the following?
Food service corporation
Food service franchise
Independent food service operation
Food service chain
Answer:
Food-service franchise
Explanation:
A food-service franchise is a business arrangement where an established and successful restaurant allows the opening of an independent branch under its brand name. The new branch will be similar to the other existing branches in terms of appearance, products and services, operations, and pricing.
For an entrepreneur to open a food service franchise, they need to purchase a license from the franchisor. The franchise license increases the chances of success as customers are already familiar with the brand.
Reamer Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The company has provided the following estimated costs for the next year: Direct materials - $1000, Direct labor - $3000, Sales commissions - $4000, Salary of production supervisor - $2000, Indirect materials - $400, Advertising expense - $800, Rent on factory equipment - $1000. Reamer estimates that 500 direct labor hours and 1000 machine hours will be worked during the year. The predetermined overhead rate per hour will be:__________
A. $6.80
B. $6.00
C. $3.00
D. $3.40
Answer:
D. $3.40
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate is
= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated machine hours
= ($2,000 + $400 + $1,000) ÷ (1,000 machine hours)
= $3,400 ÷ $1,000 machine hours
= $3.40 per hour
Assume the smart watch industry is a perfectly competitive industry that uses a specialized input. If this industry experiences an increase in demand, we might expect that in the long run: Multiple Choice neither input nor output prices will increase. both input and output prices will increase. only input prices will increase. only output prices will increase.
Answer:
Option B, both input and output prices will increase
Explanation:
Since the demand far smart watches is increasing, the price of watches will escalate to cater the opportunity cost. With the rising demand for smart watch, the demand for specialized input will also increase. Considering the growth in demand for specialized input, its cost shall also escalate to take the benefit of opportunity. Along with raw material, variable costs such as transportation, manpower, electricity etc. will also increase both in input (bringing raw material and producing final product) and output (export of the final product)
In nut shell, both the input and output price will increase.
Melissa is an unmarried person who earns a salary of $54,000 per year and has $500 of interest income. Her itemized deductions total $2,500. She is able to use a non-refundable credit of $400. She has $5,000 of federal income taxes withheld from her wages. What is the amount of Melissa's REFUND OR TAX DUE FOR 2020
Answer:
$6150
Explanation:
These are the details of Melissa's income
Salary = $54000
Interest income = 500
Itemized deductions = $ 2500
Non refundable credit = $400
Withheld federal income tax = $5000
We have to calculate the amount of her tax return for year 2020
Taxable income = 54000+500-2500
= $52500
Tax rate 22%
Tax on taxable income = 52500x0.22
= 11550
Minus non refundable credit = 11550-400
Minus federal tax withheld = 11550-400-5000
= $6150

Ayala Inc. has conducted the following analysis related to its product lines, using a traditional costing system (volume-based) and an activity-based costing system. Both the traditional and the activity-based costing systems include direct materials and direct labor costs.
Products Sales Revenue Traditional ABC
Product 540X $195,000 $56,000 $46,600
Product 137Y 158,000 55,000 37,000
Product 249S 84,000 10,000 37,400
Instructions
a) For each product line, compute operating income using the traditional costing system.
b) For each product line, compute operating income using the activity-based costing system
c) Using the following formula, compute the percentage difference in operating income for each of the product lines of Ayala:{Operating Income (ABC)-Operating Income traditional cost)]divided operating Income (traditional cost)(round the percentage to two decimals).
Answer:
a. Operating income of Product 540X under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $195,000 - $56,000 = $139,000
Operating income of Product 137Y under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $158,000 - $55,000 = $103,000
Operating income of Product 249S under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $84,000 - $10,000 = $74,000
b. Operating income of Product 540X under activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $195,000 - $46,600 = $148,400
Operating income of Product 137Y under activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $158,000 - $37,000 = $121,000
Operating income of Product 249S under activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $84,000 - $37,400 = $46,600
c. % of the difference between the operating income of Product 540X under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100
= $148,400 - $139,000/$139,000 * 100
= $9,400/$139,000 * 100
= 0.0676258992805755 * 100
= 6.76%
% of the difference between the operating income of Product 137Y under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100
= $121,000 - $103,000/$103,000 * 100
= $18,000/$103,000*100
= 0.1747572815533981 * 100
= 17.48%
% of the difference between the operating income of Product 249S under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100
= $46,600 - $74,000/$74,000 * 100
= -$27,400/$74,000 * 100
= -0.3702702702702703 * 100
= -37.03%
Marge owns land and a building (held for investment) with an adjusted basis of $75,000 and a fair market value of $250,000. The property is subject to a mortgage of $400,000. Because Marge is in arrears on the mortgage payments, the creditor is willing to accept the property in return for canceling the amount of the mortgage.
a. How can the adjusted basis of the property be less than the amount of the mortgage?
b. If the creditor's offer is accepted, what are the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for Marge?
c. Does it matter in (b) if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse?
Answer:
A. The amount deducted for Depreciation may be higher than the amortized amount of the mortgage principal.
Decrease in the value of the property after they granted the mortgage
Bi $400,000
ii. $75,000
iii. $325,000
C.No
Explanation:
a. The adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage due to the fact that in the beginning of an asset life the amount that was deducted for Depreciation may be more higher than the amortized amount of the mortgage principal .
Secondly the adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage when their is Decrease in the value of the property after they granted the mortgage .
Lastly the adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage when the fair market value of Property are been given instead of the Adjusted basis of the property.
b. Calculation for the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for
i. Based on the information given the amount that was realized will be the amount of $400,000
ii. Based on the information given the Adjusted basis will be the amount of $75,000
iii. Realized gain=$400,000 − $75,000
Realized gain= $325,000
c.No it don't not matter if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse since the amount that was realized was the amount of $400,000 and
to justify the nonrecourse mortgage is that the taxpayer has already enjoy some benefit when the mortgage was acquired due to the increase in Adjusted basis of the property.

Kilt Company used a predetermined overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour for the year and estimated that direct labor hours would total 6,100 hours. Assume the only inventory balance is an ending Work in Process balance of $17,700. How much overhead was applied during the year
Answer:
$205,000
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question as we were not given actual direct labor hours. From a similar question, I picked 5,000 as the direct labor hours .
With regards to the above information, applied overhead is computed as;
Applied overhead = Overhead rate × Actual direct labor hour
Given that;
Overhead rate = $41
Actual direct labor hour = 5,000
Therefore,
Applied overhead = $41 × 5,000 = $205,000
The town clerk receives the mail for the Town of Charity, every day. Included in the mail are utility payments, both in cash and check form. The amount of money taken in by the Utility Department is lower than it should be. The Utility Department also takes in checks and cash on a daily basis. No customer has complained that they are not credited for payment of their bill. Different people make the ledger entries in the Utility Department Office. Different people make the bank deposits. How did she commit the fraud
Unclear question. However, I answered based on the case above.
Answer:
by stealing from the utility cash payments
Explanation:
Recall we are told that the utility payments are received in both cash and check form.
Hence, it is possible for the clerk to steal from the cash utility payment rather than the checks because it can easily go unnoticed by customers, or differences may be overlooked by some, and so she was able to commit this fraud.
1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)
Explanation:
Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.
You purchased a 5-year, 6% annual-coupon bond with $1,000 par value. The yield to maturity at the time of purchase was 4%. You sold the bond after one year, right after receiving the first coupon payment. The bond's yield to maturity was 3.4% when you sold it. What is your holding period return on the bond
Answer:
6.12%
Explanation:
the market value of the bond when you purchased it was:
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.04⁵ = $821.93
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 4.4518 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 5 periods) = $267.11
initial investment = $1,089.04
after 1 year, you receive $60 +
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.034⁴ = $874.82
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 3.6818 (PV annuity factor, 3.4%, 4 periods) = $220.91
market price = $1,095.73
total holding return = ($1,095.73 + $60 - $1,089.04) / $1,089.04 = 6.12%

On August 1, paid $70,000 cash to purchase Houtte's 11%, six-month debt securities ($70,000 principal), dated August 1. b. On October 30, received a check from Houtte for 90 days' interest on the debt securities in transaction a
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
On Aug 1
Short-term investments $70,000
To Cash $70,000
(Being the short term investment is recorded)
Here short term investment is debited as it increased the asset and credited the cash as it decreased the asset
On Oct 30
Cash ($70,000 × 11% × 90 days ÷ 360 days) 1,925
To Interest revenue $1,925
(Being the interest revenue is recorded)
here cash is debited as it increased the asset and credited the interest revenue as it also increased the revenue
Here we assume 360 days in a year

Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result
,Answer:
-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.
Explanation:
Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.
In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.
So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.
However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.
He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred
Suppose that a consumer has an initial endowment of 48.00 eggs. He is able to sell these eggs freely on the market for $1.00 per egg, but has no other income. However, he still demands some eggs himself. His demand is given by the following equation:
x1 = 16.00+ m/4p1
The price for eggs increases to $2.00 per egg. Calculate this consumer's endowment income effect.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the consumer's endowment income effect is as follows:
But before that following calculations must be done
Beginning value of the endowment,
m = 48 × 1
= 48
Now New value of endowment,
m' = 48 × new price
= 48 × 2
= 96
so,
Consumer's endowment income effect is
= x1(p1', m') - x1(p1', m)
= 28 - 22
= 6 eggs.
Working notes:
(x1(p1', m') is
= 16 + (96 ÷ 4 × 2)
= 16 + (96 ÷ 8)
= 16 + 12
= 28
And, x1(p1', m) is
= 16 + (48 ÷ 4 × 2)
= 16 + (48 ÷ 8)
= 16 + 6
= 22
Emilio’s accountant told him that if he continues to pay $50 a month on his credit card, it will take him 42 years to pay off his current balance (assuming the interest rate doesn’t change and assuming he doesn’t charge anything else on that card). His credit card interest rate is 18.99%. What is his balance?
Answer:
$3,158.40
Explanation:
The current balance on his credit card is the present value of $50 payable per month over 42-year period as shown below:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV=the unknown
montly paymet=$50
r=monthly interest rate= 18.99%/12=0.015825
n=number of monthly payments=42*12=504
PV=$50*(1-(1+0.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-(1.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-0.000365827)/0.015825
PV=$50*0.999634173/0.015825
PV=$3,158.40
