L. Bowers and V. Lipscomb are partners in Elegant Event Consultants. Bowers and Lipscomb share income equally. M. Ortiz will be admitted to the partnership. Prior to the admission, equipment was revalued downward by $8,000. The capital balances of each partner are $96,000 and $40,000, respectively, prior to the revaluation.
a. Provide the journal entry for the asset revaluation.
b. Provide the journal entry for Ortiz’s admission under the following independent situations:
1. Ortiz purchased a 20% interest for $20,000.
2. Ortiz purchased a 30% interest for $60,000.
Answer: See attachment and explanation
Explanation:
1. Ortiz purchased a 20% interest for $20,000.
Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:
= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $20000
= $92000 + $36000 + $20000
= $148000
The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:
= Total capital × Interest of new partner
= $148000 × 20%
= $29600
There'll be a deficiency in the profit which the existing partner contributes to and this will be:
= $29600 - $20000
= $9600
Then each partner shares =$9600/2 = $4800
2. Ortiz purchased a 30% interest for $60,000.
Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:
= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $60000
= $92000 + $36000 + $60000
= $188000
The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:
= Total capital × Interest of new partner
= $188000 × 30%
= $56400
Since the share is less than the amount of $60000 bought in, the existing partner will be compensated in the amount of ($60000 - $56400) = $3600. Therefore each partner gets $3600/2 = $1800

Silky Smooth has an EPS of $2.93 per share and a profit margin of 6.3 percent. If the Price to Sales ratio of the industry is 1.56 times, what is a good estimate for Solky Smooth's stock price
Answer:
$88.16
Explanation:
The computation of the estimation of the stock price is given below:
Net profit ÷ sales = 6.3%
And,
Net profit ÷ Number of shares = $2.93
So,
6.3% of sales ÷ Number of shares = $2.93
Sales ÷ Number of shares = 46.51
Now PS ratio is = Price ÷ sales
= 1.56 × 46.51
= $88.16

The company's variable overhead costs are driven by machine-hours. What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for next month if the activity level is 2,400 machine-hours rather than 2,500 machine-hours? Assume that the activity levels of 2,500 machine-hours and 2,400 machine-hours are within the same relevant range. Group of answer choices
Answer:
$60,380
Explanation:
Missing word "Kerekes Manufacturing Corporation has prepared the following overhead budget for next month. Activity Level - 2500 Machine Hours - Variable Overhead Cost: Supplies 12,250 Indirect Labor ---22,000 Fixed Overhead: Supervisor 15,500 Utilities -- 5500 Depreciation --- 6500 Total Cost --- 61,750"
So, at activity level of 2500
Total variable overhead cost = Supplies + Indirect labor
Total variable overhead cost = $12,250 + $22,000
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250
So, at activity level of 2400
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250 * 2,400/2,500
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250 * 0.96
Total variable overhead cost = $32,880
So, at 2,400 hours
Total overhead cost = Variable overhead cost + Fixed overhead cost
Total overhead cost = $32,880 + Supervisor salary + Utilities + Depreciation
Total overhead cost = $32,880 + $15,500 + $5,500 + $6,500
Total overhead cost = $60,380
Suppose Torche Corporation has the following results related to cash flows for 2020: Net Income of $10,000,000 Increase in Accounts Payable of $800,000 Increase in Accounts Receivable of $600,000 Decrease in Inventory of $100,000 Assuming no other cash flow adjustments than those listed above, create a statement of cash flows with amounts in thousands. What is the Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities?
Answer:
9,700,000
Explanation:
Essentially... a lot. I would recommend learning about debits and credits. Short explanation is credits are negative and debits are positive. So an increase to a debit is adding to the net value, just as a decrease to a credit adds net value.
We start with 10,000,000.
We subtract 800,000 from this as we are increasing AP, a credit.
We are now at 9,200,000
We then add 600,000 from AR, a debit that is increasing.
We are at 9,800,000.
Finally, we subtract 100,000 because we are decreasing Inventory, a debit.
Our final value is 9,700,000

You wish to sell short 100 shares of XYZ corporation stock. If the last two transactions were at $34.10 followed by $34.15, you only can sell short on teh next transaction at a price of
Answer: b. 34.15 or higher
Explanation:
Short sales refer to the sale of borrowed stocks in anticipation that the stock price of the underlying stock will fall. This will then enable you to make a profit by buying the cheaper shares and giving it back to the entity you borrowed from thereby making a profit.
With short sales, the price is usually upward trending so will normally increase from the last price. As the last price here was $34.15, that would be the likely minimum for the next sale.
This means that the next sale will either be at a price of $34.15 or a price higher than that.

You are considering two mutually exclusive projects. Project A costs $3.6 million, has a required return of 14.5 percent, and an IRR of 14.3 percent. Project B costs $4.1 million, has a required return of 16 percent, and an IRR of 15.6 percent. Which project(s) should be accepted
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is a capital budgeting method that is used to determine the profitability of a project.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
The decision rule when using the internal rate of return is to undertake the project if the internal rate of return is greater than the required return of the project. If this is not met, the project should be rejected.
If choosing between multiple projects, the decision rule is to choose the projects with the highest internal rate of return. This is because that project would be the most profitable.
Neither of the project should be selected because the IRR of both projects is less than their required returns
A monopolist desiring to increase its profit has just discovered that lowering its price and selling more output yielded the desired result. Profit increased. Based on this, one can conclude that the marginal cost of production is _____ the marginal revenue from production.
Answer:
Less than
Explanation:
The marginal cost of production is that change in the total production cost when an extra unit is produced. While the Marginal revenue from production is the additional profit realized from production due to the sale of an extra unit.
Generally, When, the marginal cost is less than the marginal revenue, the company's production is low and should increase its output to maximize profit.
A monopolist has to its price in order to sell due to marginal revenue not equalling to price, the monopolist maximizes profits by ensuring its marginal revenue and its marginal cost are the same. Producing when Price is greater than marginal cost makes a monopolist realize profits.
In the short run, fixed costs: Group of answer choices are an important feature in a firm's decision to produce or not produce. have no impact on a firm's profit level. remain constant. do not exist.
Answer:
remain constant.
Explanation:
The short run is a period where all factors of production are fixed. In the short run, a firm would continue to produce if price is above average variable cost. If this is not the case, it would shut down
The long run is a period where all factors of production are varied. It is known as the planning time for a company
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.

Kamal made a scale drawing of a house. The scale of the drawing was 7 inches : 3 feet. A rug in the hallway is 6 feet long in real life. How long is the rug in the drawing?
Answer:
14 inches
Explanation:
Given that :
Scale drawing ; 7 inches = 3 feets ;
This means that 7 inches on the drawing equals 3 feets in real life
With this, we can calculate the length of scale drawing for 1 feet long object.
7 inches = 3 feets
x = 1 feet
Cross multiply :
3x = 7
x = 7/3 inches
Therefore, for a 6 feet long rug in real life, the length of drawing will be :
1 Feet = 7/3 inches
6 feets = (7/3 * 6) inches
(7/3 * 6) = 42 / 3 = 14 inches

Carnelian Company sells bicycles at $200 each. Variable cost per unit is $160, and total fixed cost is $120,600. Calculate the sales that Carnelian must make to earn an operating income of $21,500. a. $238,833.
b. $716,500.
c. $243,800.
d. $626,000.
Answer:
Carnelian Company
The sales that Carnelian must make to earn an operating income of $21,500 is:
= $710,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per bicycle = $200
Variable cost per unit = $160
Contribution margin per unit = $40 ($200 - $160)
Contribution margin percentage = $40/$200 * 100 = 20%
Fixed cost = $120,600
Target operating income = $21,500
Sales in dollars to earn target operating income = (Fixed cost + Target Income)/Contribution margin ratio
= $120,600 + $21,500/20%
= $142,100/0.2
= $710,500
roject A costs $6,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $2,150 for five years. What is the payback period for this investment under the assumption that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year
Answer:
It will take 2.79 years to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Project A costs $6,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $2,150 for five years.
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 2,150 - 6,000= -3,850
Year 2= 2,150 - 3,850= -1,700
Year 3= 2,150 - 1,700= 450
To be more accurate:
(1700/2150)= 0.79
It will take 2.79 years to cover the initial investment.
Assume banks are required to hold reserves equal to 20 percent of deposits. Instructions: Enter your responses as a whole number. a. How much excess reserves does the bank hold
Answer: $100
Explanation:
If the reserve requirement is 20% then the required reserves being held by the company is:
= Total deposits * reserve requirement
= 8,000 * 20%
= $1,600
The reserves held by the company of $1,700 comprise of both the required reserves and the excess reserves. The excess reserves will therefore be calculated as:
Excess reserves = Reserves - Required reserves
= 1,700 - 1,600
= $100
Tomlinson Packaging Corporation began business in 2018 by issuing 30,000 shares of $5 par common stock for $8 per share and 5,000 shares of 6%, $10 par preferred stock for par. At year end, the common stock had a market value of $10. On its December 31, 2019 balance sheet, Tomlinson Packaging would report:___________
a. Common Stock of $100,000
b. Paid-In Capital of $150,000
c. Common Stock of $200,000
d. Common Stock of $160,000
Answer:
d. common stock of $150,000.
Explanation:
First and foremost, upon issuance of stocks, the common stock account would be credited with the total par value of the shares issued as shown below:
total par value=par value per share*shares issued
total par value=$5*30,000
total par value=$150,000
The paid-in capital would be credited with the total amount the cash proceeds from the share issue exceeds the total par value
total cash proceeds=$8*30,000
total cash proceeds=$240,000
paid-in capital=$240,000-$150,000
paid-in capital=$90,000
The correct option is the common stock of $150,00, except that the number of shares issued is 20,000,hence, the common stock of $100,000 would be correct

a. Good Available For Sale $21,900
b. Cost of goods sold $15,900
c. Gross profit $3,600
B. Net income for merchandise company $1650
Net income for service company $15600
Explanation:
A.Compution for gross profit, the goods available for sale, and the cost of goods sold for the merchandiser.
a. Good Available For Sale
Using this formula
Good available fro sale = Beginning inventory + Net purchase
Let plug in the formula
Good available fro sale = $10,000 + $11,900
Good available fro sale = $21,900
b. COST OF GOODS SOLD
Using this formula
Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale - Ending inventory
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold= $21,900 - $6000 =
Cost of goods sold= $15,900
c. GROSS PROFIT
Using this formula
Gross profit= Sales - COGS
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit = $19,500 - $15,900
Gross profit= $3,600
b.Computation for net income
Net income for merchandise company = Gross profit - Expenses = $3,600 - $1,950 = $1,650
Net income for service company = Revenue - Expenses = $24,000 - $8,400 = $15,600
