Interest expense 3313.33 Dr
Interest Payable 3313.33 Cr
Explanation:
The note interest is payable at an annual rate of 4%. The interest will be paid at maturity however, an adjusting entry will be made on December 31, 2018 following the accrual basis of accounting to record the interest expense that relates to the period from November to December of 2018. The interest expense will be debited and as the interest will be paid at maturity, interest payable will be credited.
Interest expense = 497000 * 0.04 * 2/12 = $3313.33
Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,600 $250 Securities $1,000 Capital (owners' equity) $150 Reserves$200 Deposits Loans $800 Debt Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
This would increase the reserves account and ______ the ______ account.
This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of __________ to a new value of_______
Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?
a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
b. A minimum leverage ratio for all banks.
c. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.
Answer:
1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.
Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.
2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.
The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).
Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;
= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150
= 13.33
After the $100 was borrowed
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150
= 14.
3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.
Assume you have a margin account with a 50% initial margin. You purchase 100 shares of stock at $80 per share. The price increases to $100 per share. What is the net value of your investment (margin) now
Answer:
Net value of the investment (margin) is $6,000
Explanation:
The initial margin = (100 shares * $80) * 50%
The initial margin = $4,000
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares* ($100-$80)
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares * $20
Increase in the Margin value =$2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $4,000 + $2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $6,000

Refer to the following scenario to answer the following questions.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income-earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next to the village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of them out on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.
Boats Fish Caught per
Boat (pounds)
1 200
2 190
3 175
4 155
5 130
How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?
Answer:
5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150
Explanation:
Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.
Price of fish = $5 per pound.
There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.
For 1 boat
Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000
Cost = $500
Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500
Profit = $500.
For 2 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500
Profit of each boat = $450.
For 3 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500
Profit of each boat = $375
For 4 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500
Profit of each boat = $275
For 5 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500
Profit of each boat = $150.
Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.

Answer:
$3,709,000
Explanation:
7/1 Time weighted amount = $3,114,000 * 6/12 = $1,557,000
9/1 Time weighted amount = $6,456,000 * 4/12 = $2,152,000
12/31 Time weighted amount = $5,950,000 * 0/12 = $0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = 7/1 Time weighted amount + 9/1 Time weighted amount + 12/31 Time weighted amount
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $1,557,000 + $2,152,000 + 0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $3,709,000
"Your customer has been declared legally incompetent and his daughter has presented the proper legal papers appointing her as the guardian. Which statement is TRUE?"
Answer: B. Trading instructions can be accepted only from the daughter
Explanation:
The customer has been declared legally incompetent which means that he should not be making decisions that have to do with something as serious as trading instructions as he will not be able to comprehend them.
The only person that should therefore take over such roles would be his daughter who is a legal guardian. As she is not his guardian, she is able to take such decisions for him and so the trading instructions should be accepted only from the daughter.
Burke's Corner currently sells blue jeans and T-shirts. Management is considering adding fleece tops to its inventory to provide a cooler weather option. The tops would sell for $53 each with expected sales of 4,300 tops annually. By adding the fleece tops, management feels the firm will sell an additional 285 pairs of jeans at $65 a pair and 420 fewer T-shirts at $26 each. The variable cost per unit is $36 on the jeans, $16 on the T-shirts, and $31 on the fleece tops. With the new item, the depreciation expense is $33,000 a year and the fixed costs are $76,000 annually. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the project's operating cash flow?
Answer: $26,282.25
Explanation:
The operating cash-flow will be the amount of cash the company got from sales less the amount they would have to pay on taxes.
Cash from tops
= (Sales price - Variable costs) * quantity
= ( 53 - 31) * 4,300
= $94,600
Cash from jeans
= ( 65 - 36) * 285
= $8,265
Cash from jeans
= (26 - 16) * -420
= -$4,200
As this deals with cash, a tax adjusted depreciation will need to be added back because it is a non cash expense and fixed costs will have to be deducted.
Pre-tax operating cash-flow = 94,600 + 8,265 - 4,200 - 76,000
= $22,665
Post-tax Project Operating cash-flow
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (depreciation * tax)
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (33,000 * 0.35)
= $14,732.25 + 11,550
= $26,282.25

Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad selling for $7. Daily fixed costs are $1,710, and variable costs are $4 per meal. With a capacity of 950 meals per day, the restaurant serves an average of 900 meals each day.Requried:a. Determine the current average cost per meal.b. A busload of 30 Girl Scouts stops on its way home from the San Bernardino National Forest. The leader offers to bring them in if the scouts can all be served a meal for a total of $150. The owner refuses, saying he would lose $0.60 per meal if he accepted this offer. How do you think the owner arrived at the $0.60 figure? Comment on the owner's reasoning.c. A local businessman on a break overhears the conversation with the leader and offers the owner a one-year contract to feed 300 of the businessman's employees one meal each day at a special price of $4.50 per meal. Should the restaurant owner accept this offer? Why or why not?
Answer:
Nature's Garden
a. Determination of the current average cost per meal:
Variable cost per meal = $3,800 ($4 x 950) based on full capacity
Fixed costs per day = $1,710
Total costs = $5,510
Average cost per meal = $5,510/950 = $5.80
b. Girl Scouts' offer of $150 for 30 girls:
Offered price per person = $5 ($150/30)
Projecting a loss of $0.60 per meal, this gives a total loss of $18 ($0.60 x 30)
Projected revenue from the offer = $150 + $18 = $168
Projected revenue per meal = $168/30 = $5.60
Actual revenue to be received per meal = $5.00
Loss of $0.60
The owner arrived at the $0.60 loss because his total costs per meal was $5.60.
c. Since the variable cost per meal is $4, the restaurant owner could accept the offer if the additional 300 meals will not increase his daily fixed costs due to lack of capacity. If the fixed costs increase with this addition, then it may not be reasonable to accept the offer. Based on this offer, the contribution to defraying fixed costs, given present capacity, is only $0.50 ($4.50 - $4) per meal.
Explanation:
Selling price of chef's salad = $7
Daily fixed costs = $1,710
Variable costs per meal = $4
Meals capacity per day = 950
Average meals = 900
Nature's Garden has a fixed cost of $1,710 based on current capacity of 950 meals per day. The fixed cost may increase with increasing capacity. This fact must be borne in mind when making decisions.
Debra and Merina sell electronic equipment and supplies through their partnership. They wish to expand their computer lines and decide to admit Wayne to the partnership. Debra's capital is $200,000, Merina's capital is $160,000, and they share income in a ratio of 3:2, respectively.Required:Record Wayne's admission for each of the following independent situations:a. Wayne directly purchases half of Merina's investment in the partnership for $97,000.b. Wayne invests the amount needed to give him a one-third interest in the partnership's capital if no goodwill or bonus is recorded.
Answer:
a. Merina's captal is $160,000. Half would be $80,000.
Entry;
DR Merina, Capital ..................................................................$80,000
CR Wayne, Capital ....................................................................................$80,000
(To record purchase of half of Merina Capital)
b.
DR Cash......................................................................$180,000
CR Wayne, Capital.........................................................................$180,000
(To record Wayne investment)
Working
The current Capital amount is;
= 200,000 +160,000
= $360,000
If Wayne joins and adds to this such that he owns 1/3 then;
2/3x = 360,000
x = 360,000/2/3
x = $540,000
Wayne's share would be;
= 1/3 * 540,000
= $180,000
The journal entries that would take place will take effect as A- A debit in Merina's capital amount and Cash account as $17000 and a credit effect in Wayne's capital account. The amount of debit and credit will be $97000.
And for B- There will be Debit in Cash account effecting a credit in The Wayne's capital account. The amount effecting the debit and credit side will be $180,000.
The journal entries are added in the images attached to the answer. The entries would take place in the journal entries on the respective date of their occurrence.( Image attached below).When Wayne is introduced as partner for one third share the calculation of the amount of his capital would be shown as considering the capital as x. The capital by existing partners is $360000. (Image below).,[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x\ = 360000[/tex]
[tex]x= \dfrac {360000}{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]
Now the value of x will be calculated as
[tex]x= \dfrac{540000}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=180000[/tex]
Therefore Wayne's capital will be calculated as $180,000, so he will be required to bring in additional $180,000 capital in the firm for getting one third share in the profits and losses of the company.Hence, the correct statements for A will be that Wayne pays $97000 which will be divided in Merina's capital and cash accounts in the proportion of $80000 and $17000 respectively.

Current liabilities = $20000
Total assets = $80000
Total liabilities = $45000
Use the below formula to find the net working capial.

Therefore, option A, $16000 is correct.
The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as: Multiple Choice 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 2 days. 2% discount if paid within 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 10 days. 10% cash discount if the amount is paid within 2 days, or the balance due in 30 days.
Answer:
The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as:
2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days.Explanation:
I will explain using an example:
On January 2, the company sells $1,000 worth of goods with credit terms 2/10, n/30.
January 2
Dr Accounts receivable 1,000
Cr Sales revenue
If the client pays within the discount period:
January 11
Dr Cash 980
Dr Sales discounts 20
Cr Accounts receivable 1,000
If the client pays after the discount period but before 30 days:
January 31
Dr Cash 1,000
Cr Accounts receivable 1,000
The credit terms 2/10, and n/30 are interpreted as a 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance is due in 30 days. Thus, option A is the correct option.
Trade credits like 2/10 net 30 are frequently provided by suppliers to purchasers. It stands for an agreement that if payment is made within 10 days, the buyer would get a 2% reduction on the net invoice amount. Otherwise, you have 30 days to pay the entire invoice amount.
It's a common way to express an early payment discount. In accounting, the discount amount and the window of availability are typically represented using a formula like 2/10, n/30. This implies that if the invoice is paid in full within ten days, a 2% reduction is applied; otherwise, the full amount is owed.

desired ending inventory= 5,400 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 40,000 units
Beginning finished goods= 3,800 units
Production= 41,600 units
To calculate the desired ending inventory, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
41,600= 40,000 + desired ending inventory - 3,800
41,600 + 3,800 - 40,000= desired ending inventory
desired ending inventory= 5,400 units

Q3) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.
Answer:
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895
Explanation:
materials machine hours profit
standard size 0.125 kg 1/6 $10
oversize 0.4 kg 1/5 $15
constraints 80 kilograms of materials
40 hours of manufacturing
profit per machine hour:
standard size $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)
oversize $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
profit per kilogram of alloy:
standard size $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)
oversize $15 / .4 = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total manufacturing time = 40 hours
if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).
A__________produces finished-goods inventory in advance of customer demand using a forecast of sales.
Answer:
Push system.
Explanation:
A push system produces finished-goods inventory in advance of customer demand using a forecast of sales and as such it is categorized as a make to stock because the production of goods are not based on actual demand by the consumers.
Under a push system, manufacturing is strictly based on a projected production plan and the flow of information between the manufacturer and the market is in the same direction with those of raw materials used.
You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 14 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 5.1 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the price of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85
Explanation:
The price of a zero coupon bond is simply calculated by calculating the present value of the face value of the bond that the bond pays at maturity. The formula for the price of a zero coupon bond is,
Bond Price = Face Value / ( 1 + r )^n
Where,
r is the rate or YTM n is the number of periods left to maturityAssuming that the r or YTM is always stated in annual terms, the semi annual YTM will be 5.1% / 2 = 2.55%
Assuming semi annual compounding periods, the total number of periods or n will be,
n = 14 * 2 = 28
Bond Price = 10000 / (1 + 0.0255)^28
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85

In a concentrated network configuration:
a. firms perform a supply chain activity in one location and serve foreign locations from it
b. firms allow each site on the network to operate with full autonomy
c. firms tightly link operations and supply chain activities to one another
d. firms perform a supply chain activity in various countries
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Here, in this question, we are to select which of the options is best.
The correct answer to this question is that in a concentrated network configuration, firms allow each site on the network to operate with full autonomy.
What this means is that each site in the network operate independently of the other sites.
A site is thus an autonomous entity but still part of the concentrated network

Jamie has worked for ABC Printing for 5 years. During this period ABC Printing has contributed $25,000 to her non-contributory retirement plan. Assuming ABC uses graded schedule vesting, how much will Jamie be able to roll into an IRA if she left ABC Printing after 5 years?
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Generally a graded vesting schedule lasts 6 years. After the first 2 years, the employee is entitled to 20% of accrued benefits (in this case contributions to her retirement plan). Then, the employee will be vested an additional 20% of the contribution benefits per year until the sixth year when 100% of the benefits are vested.
In this case, Jamie would be able to roll out $25,000 x 80% = $20,000
End of year % vested
2 20%
3 40%
4 60%
5 80%
6 100%
Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be
Answer:
$152,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory
First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount
Using this formula
Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail
Let plug in the formula
Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000
Beginning Inventory =$120,000
Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount
Using this formula
Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer
Let plug in the formula
Current period purchases=64%*50,000
Current period purchases=$32,000
The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000
Ending inventory cost=$152,000
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000
Suppose you invested in the Ishares High Yield Fund (HYG) a month ago. It paid a dividend of today and then you sold it for . What was your dividend yield and capital gains yield on the investment?
Complete Question:
Suppose you invested $100 in the Ishares High Yield Fund HYG your dividend yield and capital gains yield on the investment?
It paid a dividend of $2 today and then you sold it for $95. What was Dividend Yield and Capital Gains Yield on the investment?
Answer:
Dividend Yield is 2%
Capital Gains Yield is -5%
Explanation:
Dividend Yield:
We can calculate the Dividend Yield using the following formula:
Dividend Yield = D0 / Initial Stock Price
Here
D1 was Dividend paid just now and is $2 per share
Initial Stock Price before the dividend payment was $100 per share
By putting values, we have:
Dividend Yield = $2 per share / $100 per share = 2%
Capital Gains Yield:
We can find capital gains yield by using following formula:
Capital Gains Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Here
P1 is $95
P0 is $100
By putting values we have:
Capital Gains Yield = ($95 - $100) / $100 = -5%
