Answer:
a. Current Ratio for the current year = 1.18
b. Current Ratio for the preceding year = 0.97
c. Quick Ratio for the current year = 0.98
d. Quick Ratio for the preceding year = 0.76
e. Working Capital for the current year = $3,231
f. Working Capital for the preceding year = –$513
Explanation:
Based on the information provided in the question, we first state the following formula to be used before answering the question:
Current asset = Cash and cash equivalents + Short-term investments, at cost + Accounts and notes receivable, net + Inventories + Prepaid expenses and other current assets ................... (1)
Current liabilities = Short-term obligations + Accounts payable ................. (2)
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ............................ (3)
Quick Ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) / Current liabilities ............... (4)
Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities ........................... (5)
We now calculate the answers as follows:
a. What is the Current Ratio for the current year?
Using equation (1), we have:
Current asset for the current year (in millions) = $8,297 + $422 + $7,041 + $3,581 + $1,479 = $20,820
Using equation (2), we have:
Current liabilities for the current year (in millions) = $4,815 + $12,774 = $17,589
Using equation (3), we have:
Current ratio for the current year = $20,820 / $17,589 = 1.18
b. What is the Current Ratio for the preceding year?
Using equation (1), we have:
Current asset for the preceding year (in millions) = $4,067 + $458 + $6,912 + $3,827 + $2,377 = $17,641
Using equation (2), we have:
Current liabilities for the preceding year (in millions) = $6,205 + $11,949 = $18,154
Using equation (3), we have:
Current ratio for the preceding year = $17,641 / 18,154 = 0.97
c. What is the Quick Ratio for the current year?
Using equation (4) and calculations from part a, we have:
Quick Ratio for the current year = ($20,820 - 3,581) / $17,589 = 0.98
d. What is the Quick Ratio for the preceding year?
Using equation (4) and calculations from part b, we have:
Quick Ratio for the preceding year = ($17,641 - 3,827) / $18,154 = 0.76
e. What is the Working Capital for the current year?
Using equation (5) and calculations from part a, we have:
Working Capital for the current year = $20,820 - $17,589 =$3,231
f. What is the Working Capital for the preceding year?
Using equation (5) and calculations from part b, we have:
Working Capital for the preceding year = $17,641 - $18,154 = –$513

c. What is the amount and character of Lauren's recognized gain or loss?
d. What is Lauren's basis in the distributed assets?
e. What is Lauren's remaining basis in her partnership interest?
Answer:
PJenn Partnership
a. The amount and character of Justin's recognized gain or loss:
Justin has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000). The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.
b. Justin's remaining basis in his partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.
c. The amount and character of Lauren's recognized gain or loss:
Lauren has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000). The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.
d. Lauren's basis in the distributed assets is $22,000, which is her outside basis.
e.Lauren's remaining basis in her partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Partner Outside Basis Partner Distribution
Justin $22,000 $25,000 cash
Lauren 22,000 $18,000 cash + $7,000 in property
Property $2,000 to Partnership
Justin and Lauren's recognized gain or loss is determined by the amount of the sale minus the partner's interest, which is often referred to as the partner's outside basis.
Justin's and Lauren's remaining basis in the partnership is the amount of the fair market value of property remaining after Lauren's share in the property.
Your customer, age 60, is retired and living at home with a fully paid-off mortgage. Her portfolio contains growth stocks and high-quality bonds, and she is a long-time investor and comfortable with moderate risk. Her objective is a moderate level of current income to supplement her corporate pension plan distributions and the earnings from her traditional IRA. How are the distributions taxed from her IRA
Answer:
Since this person is 60 years old, she will only pay normal income taxes fro any distributions that she receives from her IRA account.
Explanation:
Contributions to a traditional IRA account are tax exempt up to a certain limit. In other words, the money that this client contributed to her IRA account reduced her taxable income. Now that she is retired and starting to receive distributions from her IRA account, she will need to pay income taxes for the money that she receives.
A Roth IRA account works differently, since the contributions are not tax exempt, but the distributions are.

SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon with new potatoes and mixed vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 4,800 of these meals using 2,350 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $23,500 for this work, or $10.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.50 direct labor-hours at a cost of $9.40 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,800 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 4,800 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?
Answer:Please find answers in the explanation column
Explanation:
a)standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,800 meals
standard labor-hours =Actual output X standard direct labor hours
4,800 X 0.50 = 2,400hours
B) standard labor cost allowed
direct labor-hours per houR = $9.40
standard labor-hours = 2,400
standard labor cost =direct labor-hours per houR xstandard labor hours
= $9.40 x 2,400= $22,560
c) labor spending variance= Actual cost incurred - Standard Labor cost
= 23,500 - 22,560= 940 -- Which is unfavorable because the actual is cost is greater than the standard labor cost
D)the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?
labor rate variance= (Actual rate - standard rate ) X Actual hours
($10.00 -$9.40) X 2,350= $1,410
Labor efficiency variance=(Actual hrs - standard hrs allowed) x standard rate
2,350- 2,400) X $9.40= $470 --- Favourable as the actual hours used is less than the standard hours .

A publishing company sells 1,250,000 copies of certain books each year. It costs the company $1 to store each book for a year. Each time it must print additional copies, it costs the company $250 to set up the presses. How many books should the company produce during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs
Answer:
The Company should produce 25,000 books
Explanation:
The production size that minimizes total storage and setup costs is known as the optimum batch size.
Optimum batch size = √(2 × Annual Production Demand × Set up Cost) / Storage Cost per unit
= √ (2 × 1,250,000 × $250) / $1
= 25,000 books
Conclusion :
The Company should produce 25,000 books during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs.
Assume the global economy consists of just two trading partners, the United States and Europe. Determine whether each scenario below corresponds to the United States having a trade deficit, balanced trade, or a trade surplus. U.S. Trade deficit.
a. The value of European assets purchased by Americans exceeds that of American assets purchased by Europeans.
b. In the United States, the sum of private savings and government savings is less than private investment.
c. Europeans purchase more goods and services from the United States than Americans purchase from Europe.
d. Net foreign investment for the United States is positive.
e. Net exports for Europe arc zero.
f. Exports from the United States equal imports into the United States.
Answer:
United States and Europe
Determination of United States having a trade deficit, balanced trade, or a trade surplus:
a. Trade surplus (investment surplus)
b. No effect on trade surplus or deficit
c. Trade surplus
d. Investment surplus
e. Balanced trade
f. Balanced trade
Explanation:
The United States experiences a trade surplus when its exports to Europe is higher than the imports from Europe, whether it is for goods, services, or investments.
On the other hand, the United States will experience a trade deficit when its imports from Europe are more than its export to Europe.
The US and Europe will have some advantages and disadvantages to having a trade deficit or surplus. When the US experiences a surplus, the exchange rate between the two continents increases in favor of the US. However, there will a reduction of the competitiveness of the US exports as higher prices will be incurred by Europe for US exports.
Suppose that the federal government places a binding price floor on chocolate. To help support the price floor, the government purchases all of the leftover chocolate that consumers do not buy. If the price floor remains in place for a number of years, what do you expect to happen to each of the following?a) Quantity of chocolate demanded by consumers.b) Quantity of chocolate supplied by producers.c) Quantity of chocolate purchased by the government.
Answer And Explanation:
a) Quantity of chocolate demanded by consumers will decrease
This is because there is a minimum price which makes product more expensive. The higher the price, the less the quantity demanded
b) Quantity of chocolate supplied by producers will increase
This is because price has increased with the government's price floor. The higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied.
c) Quantity of chocolate purchased by the government will increase
This is because there is surplus supply and therefore government would need to buy more to support the price floor and buy leftover chocolates in the market
Jerry, a partner with 30 percent capital and profits interest, received his Schedule K-1 from Plush Pillows, LP. At the beginning of the year, Jerry's tax basis in his partnership interest was $44,000. His current-year Schedule K-1 reported an ordinary loss of $9,000, long-term capital gain of $4,600, qualified dividends of $3,600, $2,100 of non-deductible expenses, a $26,000 cash contribution, and a reduction of $5,600 in his share of partnership debt. What is Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest (outside basis) at the end of the year
Answer: $61,500
Explanation:
Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is determined by adding his cash contributions, long-term capital gain, and qualified dividends to the original tax basis.
There will also be deductions of the non-deductible expenses, ordinary loss and his share of the reduction in partnership debt.
Jerry's adjusted basis at the end of the year = ( 44,000 + 26,000 + 3,600 4,600) - ( 2,100 + 9,000 + 5,600)
= 78,200 - 16,700

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit. The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $107 per unit.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit.
The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (102 - 58)
Break-even point in units= 17,248 units
Now, the selling price is $107:
Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (107 - 58)
Break-even point in units= 15,488 units
Cheyenne Corp. had the following transactions that took place during the year:I.Recorded credit sales of $2250II.Collected $1350 from customersIII.Recorded sales returns of $450 and credited the customer's account.What is the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow?a) No Effectb) Cannot be determinedc) Increased) Decrease
Answer:
The correct option is d) Decrease.
Explanation:
Free cash flow (FCF) can be described as the cash that is generated by a company after cash outflows required to support operations and maintain the capital assets of the company have been accounted for.
Therefore, FCF can be calculated by adjusting for non-cash expenses, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures to reconcile net income.
The total effect of these transactions on free cash flow can be determined by first calculating the account receivable for the year as follows:
Calculation of account receivable for the year:
Particular Amount ($)
Credit sales 2,250
Cash collected from the customer (1,350)
Sales returns (450)
Account receivable 450
A partial free cash flow statement can therefore be prepared as follows:
Cheyenne Corp.
Free cash flow statement (Partial)
Particular Amount ($)
Net income xx
(Increase) decrease in non-cash current assets:
Increase in account receivable (450)
Free cash flow (450)
Since the free cash flow is negative or minus $450, it therefore implies that the total effect of these transactions on free cash flow is a decrease.
Therefore, the correct option is d) Decrease.
Discuss the negative consequences that arise when auditors fail to identify and report going-concern problems.
Answer:
Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:
1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.
2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.
3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.
4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.
5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.
6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.
Explanation:
For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company. Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future. That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.
The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.

The following data has been collected about Keller Company's stockholders' equity accounts: Common stock $10 par value 21,000 shares authorized and 10,500 shares issued, 1,100 shares outstanding $105,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 51,000 Retained earnings 26,000 Treasury stock 12,760 Assuming the treasury shares were all purchased at the same price, the number of shares of treasury stock is:
Answer:
9,400 shares
Explanation:
Treasury stock is the difference between issued shares and outstanding shares.
Number of treasure shares = Number of issued shares - Number of outstanding shares
Number of treasure shares = 10,500 - 1,100
Number of treasure shares = 9,400 shares
Therefore, number of treasury shares is 9,400
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated can void the contract if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated cannot void the contract even if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
By law, an individual can void a contract entered into while under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated, only if he or she doesn't understand or comprehend the legal consequences binding on the parties involved in the contract.
Hence, a contract is legally binding and enforceable even if one of the parties was intoxicated at the time of its formation.

The tax rates are 40% for 2020 and 35% for 2021 and subsequent years.5. Income taxes of $297,000 are due per the tax return for 2020.6. No deferred taxes existed at the beginning of 2020.Requried:Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020.
Answer:
first we must determine taxable income = due income taxes / tax rate = $297,000 / 0.4 = $742,500
interest received on municipal bonds $9,300
unearned rent revenue = $42,800
deferred tax asset = $42,800 x 0.4 = $17,120
total pretax financial income = $742,500 + $9,300 + $124,000 - $42,800 = $833,000
deferred tax liability = $124,000 x .4 = $49,600

Explanation:
Given that:
Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.
Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%
The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years
Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:
Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00
Year 2 50,000 $75.00
Year 3 35,000 $50.00
Year 4 25,000 $45.00
The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.
The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:
= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)
For Year 1
= $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)
= $80.00 - $16.00
= $64.00
For Year 2
= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)
= $75.00 - ( $15.00)
= $60.00
Year 3
= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)
= $50.00 - $10.00
= $40.00
Year 4
= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)
=$45.00 - $9.00
= $36.00
Year Sales volume Unit Cost Cost per Unit
(units) selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00 $64.00 $2560000
Year 2 50,000 $75.00 $60.00 $3000000
Year 3 35,000 $50.00 $40.00 $1400000
Year 4 25,000 $45.00 $36.00 $900000
Total: 150000 $7860000
Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost
Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000
Allowable unit cost = 52.4
A coworker of Connor's recommends that she maximize the shelf space devoted to those drinks with the highest contribution margin per case. Do you agree with this recommendation? Explain briefly.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.

Amount %age of sales
Sales $ 143,000 1001
Variable expenses 57,200 408
Contribution margin 85,800 603
Fixed expenses 19,000
Net operating income $ 66,800
Required:
1. What is the company's degree of operating leverage?
2. Using the degree of operating leverage, estimate the impact on net operating Income of a 16% Increase in sales.
3. Construct a new contribution format income statement for the company assuming a 16% Increase in sales.
Answer:
1. 1.28
2. increase in operating Income of 20,48 %
3.New Contribution Format Income Statement
Sales ($ 143,000 × 1.16) $165,880
Variable expenses ($57,200 × 1.16) ($66,352)
Contribution margin $99,528
Fixed expenses ($19,000 )
Net operating income $80,528
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage shows the times Earnings Before Interest and Tax will change as a result of a change in sales contribution.
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings before Interest and Tax
= $85,800 ÷ $ 66,800
= 1.28
An increase in sales of 16% will lead to an increase in operating Income of 20,48 % (16% × 1.28).
Answer:
Please see answers below.
Explanation:
1. The company's degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ Net operating income
Contribution = $85,800
Net operating income = $66,800
= $85,800 / $66,800
= 1.28
2. Impact on ney operating income of a 16% increase in sales
Revised contribution = $85,800 + 16%
= $85,800 + $13,728
= $99,528
Revised net operating income = $99,528 - $19,000(Fixed cost)
= $80,528
Degree of operating leverage = $99,528 / $80,528
= 1.24
3. Contribution format income statement ;
Sales $143,000 + 16% = $165,880
Less variable cost $57,200 + 16% = $66,352
Contribution margin = $99,528
Less fixed cost = $19,000
Net operating income = $80,528
Suppose that a worker in Boatland can produce either 5 units of wheat or 25 units of fish per year, and a worker in Farmland can produce either 25 units of wheat or 5 units of fish per year. There are 30 workers in each country. No trade occurs between the two countries. Boatland produces and consumes 75 units of wheat and 375 units of fish per year while Farmland produces and consumes 375 units of wheat and 75 units of fish per year. If trade were to occur, Boatland would trade 90 units of fish to Farmland in exchange for 80 units of wheat. If Boatland now completely specializes in fish production, how many units of fish could it now consume along with the 80 units of imported wheat?
Answer:
660 units of fish
Explanation:
Boatland's production = 150 units of wheat or 750 units of fish
opportunity cost of producing fish = 150/750 = 0.2 units of wheat
opportunity cost of producing wheat = 750/150 = 5 units of fish
Farmland's production = 750 units of wheat or 150 units of fish
opportunity cost of producing fish = 750/150 = 5 units of wheat
opportunity cost of producing wheat = 150/750 = 0.2 units of fish
If Boatland trades 90 units of fish in exchange for 80 units of wheat, its remaining production will be = 750 (maximum possible production of fish) - 90 (units traded) = 660 units of fish
Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 20,000 Variable expenses 12,000 Contribution margin 8,000 Fixed expenses 6,000 Net operating income $ 2,000 Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per unit
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $8
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $ 20,000
Variable expenses 12,000
Contribution margin 8,000
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
