A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______

a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.

Answers

Answer:

a. $10,003.

Explanation:

The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.

Calculate total invoice value

Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550

As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed

Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187

Now the Amount paid

Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003

Required:
Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment.

Answers

Answer:

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

Explanation:

given data

Cost of auto = $21000

Cash Down payment = $5250

Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250

loan amount = $15,750

time period  = 30 monthly

Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm

solution

we get here monthly payment that is express as

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex]      ...................1

put here value and we get

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]

solve it we get

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.

Answers

Answer: $16,613

Explanation:

As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.

The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate

= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%

= $19,738

This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.

= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²

= $16,613

how to journalize this?

Answers

When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:

The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.

The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.

The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.

For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):

1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:

2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:

Answer:

All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.

Explanation:

1.  The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation.  We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT

2.  Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash.  We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

3. Purchased a new truck for $8,500 cash.   We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Truck and decreasing the asset Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

4.  Purchased $500 in supplies on account.  We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Supplies and the liability Accounts Payable.  To increase an asset, we debit and to increase a liability, use credit.

5.  Paid $300 for supplies previously purchased.  Since we previously purchased the supplies and are not buying any new ones, we analyzed this to decrease the liability accounts payable and the asset cash.  To decrease a liability, use debit and to decrease and asset, use debit.

6.  Paid February and March Rent in advance for $1,800.  When we pay for an expense in advance, it is an asset.  We want to increase the asset Prepaid Rent and decrease Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

7.  Performed work for customers and received $50,000 cash.  We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset cash and increase the revenue Service Revenue.  To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.

8.  Performed work for customers and billed them $10,000.  We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset accounts receivable (since we have not gotten paid but will receive it later) and increase revenue.  To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.

9.  Received $5,000 from customers from work previously billed.  We analyzed this transaction to increase cash since we are receiving cash and we want to decrease accounts receivable since we are receiving money from customers who we billed previously and not new work we are doing.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

10 Paid office salaries $900.  We analyzed this transaction to increase salaries expense and decrease cash since we paid cash.  To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

You have decided to invest $15,000 in a money market fund that pays you interest at the annual rate of 6% and compounds interests monthly. Your plan is to take out your money in a year and pay taxes on the interest earned. If the corresponding tax rate is 20%, how much money in total will you expect to receive in a year after paying taxes.

Answers

Answer:

$15,869.66

Explanation:

The formula for determining the future value of the amount invested is :

FV = PV x (1 + r / m)^mn

FV = Future value  

PV = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

$15,000 x (1+ 0.06/12)^12 = $15,925.17

Interest earned = future value - present value

$15,925.17 - $15,000 = $925.17

Tax paid on interest earned = 0.06 x  $925.17 = $55.51

Interest after taxes = $925.17 - $55.51 = $869.66

Total amount expected = $15,000 + $869.66 = $15,869.66

The contribution margin per unit is computed as;

= Selling price - (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commission + Variable administrative expense)

= $28.10 - ($7.50 + $3.85 + $1.55 + $1.05 + $0.60)

= $28.10 - $14.55

= $13.55

Therefore , the contribution margin per unit is $13.55

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,350 per month interest, if they can get 7 % interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The amount needed is $192,000.

(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.

Explanation:

Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

This can be calculated using the following future value formula:

FV = P / i ........................... (1)

Where;

FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?

P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200

i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000

Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)

Where,

FV = Future value = $192,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125

n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300

Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:

$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)

$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075

M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075

M = $150.98

Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

a) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $111,111 received every year. The first cash flow occurs in year 1. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate. b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate. c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

Answers

Answer:

a) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $111,111 received every year. The first cash flow occurs in year 1. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $111,111 / 11% = $1,010,100

b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $222,222 / (11% x 2) = $1,010,100

c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $333,333 / (11% x 3) = $1,010,100

Explanation:

Since the interest rate is simple, not compounded, the three perpetuities have the same present value.

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.

Answers

Answer:

C. 60%

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00      

Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00      

Units started and completed = 6,500.00

Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).

Let % Completion be x      

X% of 1500 = 900      

X = 900*100/1500      

X = 60%.

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

Answers

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

Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result, they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?

Answers

Answer:

It will decrease prior service cost and, as prior service cost is amortized, will decrease pension expense.

Explanation:

In the given if there is any change in the projected benefit obligation so the pension expense would impact in the present and future period by reducing the service cost that incurred before also the service cost that incurred before would be amortized that ultimately reduce the pension expense

Derek will deposit $9,359.00 per year for 18.00 years into an account that earns 4.00%, The first deposit is made next year. He has $18,418.00 in his account today. How much will be in the account 49.00 years from today

Answers

Answer:

FV= $904,322.05

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit= 9,359

n= 18

i= 0.04

FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04

FV= $240,015.42

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)

FV= $38,803.95

Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37

Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:

FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)

FV= $904,322.05

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest

Answers

Answer:

$2,810,467

Explanation:

we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies

first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286

then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value

PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700

PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767

total enterprise value = $2,810,467

Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.

Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.

Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.

In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.

Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

Suppose the United States is currently producing 100tons of hamburgers and 45tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 20tons of hamburgers and 25tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good​ (the good for which each has a comparative​ advantage), then a total of nothingadditional​ ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined ​(enter a numeric response using an​ integer)

Answers

Answer: 50 additional tons of hamburgers

Explanation:

United States opportunity costs:

Hamburger opportunity cost = 45/100 = 0.45 tons of tacos

Taco opportunity cost = 100/45 = 2.22 tones of hamburgers

Mexico opportunity cost:

Hamburger opportunity cost = 25/20 = 1.25 tons of tacos

Taco opportunity cost = 20/25 = 0.8 tones of hamburgers

US should specialize in Hamburger production because they have a lower opportunity cost.

If both countries combined production of hamburgers then the total would be:

= 100 + 20

= 120 tons of hamburgers

There is missing information on this question which is the US production of hamburgers when it produces 0 tacos. We shall assume that number to be 170 tons of hamburgers.

The total additional tons produced would be:

= US tons when producing only hamburgers - Combined hamburger production

= 170 - 120

= 50 additional tons of hamburgers

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

10% Bonds' maturity value = $2,000,000

Bonds sales value = $1,855,816

Total discount = $144,184

Annual Interest = $200,000 ($2,000,000 * 10%)

Maturity period = 5 years (January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025)

Annual amortization of discount = $28,836.80 ($144,184/5)

Total interest cost with amortized discount each year = $228,836.80

b) Under the straight line method, the premium or discount on the bond is amortized in equal amounts over the life of the bond, as demonstrated above.

Based on the information given, it should be noted that the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses will be  $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

Interest expense

From the information given, the following can be calculated:

Discount on issue = $2000000 - $1855816 = $144184

Discount to be amortized on each interest date = $144184 / 5 = $28836.80

Cash interest annual = $2000000 * 10% = $200000

Therefore, the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses from 2020 to 2025 will be  $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.
