calculation of remaining income after distribution of salary and interest on capital.
Total Net Income $ 45,000
Less : Salary allowance $ 60,000
($20,000 + $25,000 + $15,00)
Less : Interest on capital $ 15,000
($ 6,000 + $ 5,000 + $ 4,000)
Remaining income / (loss) to be allocated $ 30,000
Since the remaining income is negative, i.e. it loss to the SR partnership, so such Loss will also be allocated to the partners. Since in a partnership, Partners are required to share profits as well as losses. Hence, such loss will be deducted from the other shares.
Scheduled of amount allocated to each partner

A company reported the following asset and liability balances at the end of 2015 and 2016:
2015 2016
Assets $150,000 $180,000
Liabilities $70,000 $80,000
If the company paid dividends totaling $5,000, what is the amount of net income for 2016?
A. $20,000.B. $105,000.C. $80,000.D. $25,000.
Answer:
D. $25,000
Explanation:
The equity is the difference between assets and liabilities
Opening equity=$150,000-$70,000
opening equity=$80,000
Ending equity=$180,000-$80,000
ending equity=$100,000
The ending equity formula below can be used to derive the net income for 2016:
ending equity=beginning equity+ net income-dividends
The net income increases the amount of ending equity while dividends decrease it.
net income=unknown
dividends=$5000
$100,000=$80,000+net income-$5000
net income=$100,000-$80,000+$5,000
net income=$25,000

The market rate of interest at the time that the bonds were issued was 13%, so that the bonds were sold for $892 each.1. Interest expense for the January 1–June 30 period was $_____.
2. Interest expense for the July1–December 31 period was $_____.
3. Book value of Bonds on June 30 was $_____.
4. Book value of Bonds on December 31 was $_____.
5. Interest payment on June 30 was $_____.
Answer:
ARC Inc.
1. Interest expense for the January 1–June 30 period was $__5,798___.
2. Interest expense for the July 1–December 31 period was $__5,850___.
3. Book value of Bonds on June 30 was $__89,998___.
4. Book value of Bonds on December 31 was $__90,848___.
5. Interest payment on June 30 was $__5,000___.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2017:
Face value of issued bonds = $100,000 ($1,000 * 100)
Coupon rate of interest = 10%
Effective rate of interest = 13%
Price of issued bonds = $89,200 ($892 * 100)
Discount on bonds = $10,800 ($100,000 - $89,200)
Interest payment = June 30 and December 31 (semiannually)
June 30:
Interest expense = $5,798 ($89,200 * 6.5%)
Cash payment = $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)
Amortization of discount = $798
Value of bonds = $89,998 ($89,200 + $798)
December 31, 2017:
Interest expense = $5,850 ($89,998 * 6.5%)
Cash payment = $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)
Amortization of discount = $850
Value of bonds = $90,848 ($89,998 + $850)
The Gear Division makes a part with the following characteristics:
Production capacity 25,000 units
Selling price to outside customers $ 18
Variable cost per unit $ 11
Fixed cost, total $ 100,000
Motor Division of the same company would like to purchase 10,000 units each period from the Gear Division. The Motor Division now purchases the part from an outside supplier at a price of $17 each. Suppose that the Gear Division is operating at capacity and can sell all of its output to outside customers. If the Gear Division sells the parts to Motor Division at $17 per unit, the company as a whole will be:
a. better off by $10,000 each period.
b. worse off by $20,000 each period.
c. worse off by $10,000 each period.
d. There will be no change in the status of the company as a whole.
Answer:
Effect on income= -10,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production capacity 25,000 units
Selling price to outside customers $ 18
Variable cost per unit $ 11
Fixed cost, total $ 100,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary total production cost:
Total unitary cost= (100,000/25,000) + 11
Total unitary cost= $15
The company can sell all of its production to outside customers and gain $3 from the sale. But, by selling to the Motor Division, it gains $2.
Now, the effect on income:
Effect on income= increase in income by not buying the part - decrease in sales revenue for not selling to outside customers
Effect on income= 10,000*2 - 10,000*3
Effect on income= 20,000 - 30,000
Effect on income= -10,000

On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $115,000
Salvage value= $15,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $20,000

From 1990 to 2000, calculate the percentage change in Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. Real GDP. % b. Real consumption. % c. Real government spending
Answer:
Note The full question is attached as picture below
1. Real consumption % change = ((Consumption in 2009 / Consumption in 2007) - 1) * 100
Real consumption % change = ((9847 / 10042) - 1) * 100
Real consumption change % = (0.981 - 1) * 100
Real consumption change% = -1.9%
2. Real investment % = ((Investment in 2009 / 2007) - 1) * 100
Real investment % = ((1898 / 2644) - 1) * 100
Real investment % = (0.718 - 1) * 100
Real investment % = -28.2%
3. Government spending % = ((Government spending 2009 / 2007) - 1)*100
Government spending % = ((3089 / 2914) - 1)*100
Government spending % = (1.06 - 1) * 100
Government spending % = 6%
You are selling an asset. you can earn an interest rate of 7% per yer on your savings. You receive the following two (risk less) offers:
Offer 1: receive $400,000 today
Offer 2: Receive $500,000 in 4 years
a. Which offer should you choose?
b. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between the two offers?
Answer:
Option 1
5.737126344%
Explanation:
to determine which option i would prefer today, i would need to determine the present value of offer 2
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
[tex]\frac{500,000}{1.07^{4} }[/tex] = $381,447.61
I would prefer the first option because its present value is greater than that of option 2
The interest rate that would make me indifferent between either options would be the interest at which the present value of $500,000 in 4 years is $400,000
$400,000 = [tex]\frac{500,000}{(1 + x)^{4} }[/tex]
$400,000[tex](1 + x)^{4}[/tex] = $500,000
500,000 / 400,000= (1 + x)^{4}
1.25 = (1 + x)^{4}
[tex]1.25^{0.25}[/tex] = 1 + x
x = 5.737126344%
The Aqua Liquid Assets Money Market Mutual Fund has a NAV of $1 per share. During the year, the assets held by this fund appreciated by 1.4 percent. If you had invested $50,000 in this fund at the start of the year, how many shares would you own at the end of the year
Answer:
Missing word "Final shares=? Net asset value=?"
Final shares is computed as follows:
= (Amount invested / NAV per share) * (1 + Fund appreciation)
= ($50,000 / $ 1) * (1 + 0.014)
= $50,000 * 1.014
= $50,700
As know that this is a Money Market Mutual Fund, hence the Net asset value of this fund at the end of the year will be also $1.
9. Suppose Betty saves $200 each month in her 401(k) account. How much less will her monthly take-home pay be than if she saved nothing? (Assume a combined 20% state and federal income tax rate.)
Answer:
$160
Explanation:
The way 401(k) savings work is that employees can save from their earnings before tax is deducted, which means that on the $200 saved no tax is deducted, hence, the take of the employee reduces by $200
When there are savings, a tax of 20% would have been deducted from the $200, as a result, the employee would be left with $160($200-($200*20%)), which means that take-home would reduce by $40, the amount tax deducted.
The reduction in take-home=$200-$40
The reduction in take-home=$160

Viviano Corporation issued a new bond, and hired your bank as its underwriter. In an upcoming talk with its CFO, you are expected to explain the effect of market interest rate. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?
a. increase the coupon rate
b. decrease the coupon rate
c. increase the market price
d. decrease the market price
e. increase the time period
Answer: d. decrease the market price
Explanation:
Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.
The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.
The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.
Suppose that the inflation rate is 2% and the real terminal value of an investment is expected to be $82,500 in 4 years. Calculate the nominal terminal value of the investment at the end of year 4.
Answer: $89300.65
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the nominal terminal value of the investment at the end of year 4 will be calculated thus:
Inflation rate = 2%
Real terminal value of investment = $82,500
Normal terminal value of investment will be:
= $82500 × (1+2%)⁴
= $82500 × (1 +0.02)⁴
= $82500 × 1.02⁴
= $89300.65

Swifty Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $109600. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4100 and a useful life of 123000 miles. It was driven 18000 miles in 2020 and 26000 miles in 2021. What is the depreciation expense for 2020?
a. $37752
b. $22308
c. $16639
d. $15444
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $15,444
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $109,600
Salvage value= $4,100
Useful life= 123,000
Miles driven 2020= 18,000
To calculate the depreciation expense, we will use the units-of-production method:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles drive
Annual depreciation= [(109,600 - 4,100)/123,000]*18,000
Annual depreciation= 0.858*18,000
Annual depreciation= $15,444

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $34.00, and the item purchased second cost $35.00. Blake sold one of the items for $64.00. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The dollar amount assigned to ending inventory will be the same no matter which cost flow method is used.
B. Gross margin will be higher if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.
C. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used.
D. Cost of goods sold will be higher if Blake uses FIFO than if weighted average were used.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
Weighted average is the average cost of the inventories bought over a period
If FIFO is used, ending inventory would be $35.
If weighted average is used , ending inventory = (34 +35) / 2 = $34.50
Thus, ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Gross margin = gross profit / revenue
If FIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 34) / 64 = 0.469
If LIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 35) / 64 = 0.453
Gross margin will be lower if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.
