Piper's Pizza sold baking equipment for $25,000. The equipment was originally purchased for $72,000, and depreciation through the date of sale totaled $51,000. What was the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment?
Sale amount
Less:
Cost of the baking equipment
Book value
Answer:
$4,000 gain
Explanation:
The calculation of gain or loss on the sale of the equipment is shown below:-
Gain or loss on the sale of the equipment = Sales - Cost of the baking equipment - Accumulated Depreciation
= $25,000 - ($72,000 - $51,000)
= $25,000 - $21,000
= $4,000
Therefore for computing the gain or sale we simply applied the above formula.

Sally Eason put $4,000 in her deductible IRA this year. If Sally is in the 25 percent marginal tax bracket, the government actually contributed ____ of that amount for her. Group of answer choices
Answer: $1000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sally Eason put $4,000 in her deductible IRA this year and that Sally is in the 25 percent marginal tax bracket.
Based on the above information, the government contributed:
= 25% × $4,000
= 25/100 × $4,000
= 0.25 × $4,000
= $1000

Busch Company has these obligations at December 31. For each obligation, indicate whether it should be classified as a current liability, long-term liability, or both. (a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years. select a balance sheet section (b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments. select a balance sheet section (c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage. select a balance sheet section (d) Accounts payable of $60,000. select a balance sheet section
Answer:
Busch Company
Indication of whether the obligation be classified as a current liability, long-term liability, or both:
(a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years. Long-term Liability
(b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments. Both.
Every year, $20,000 would be classified as Current Liability while the remaining balance is long-term liabilities.
(c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage. Both
If the interest payable is to be settled at the end of the mortgage, then it is classified as only long-term.
(d) Accounts payable of $60,000. Current Liability
Explanation:
Busch's current liabilities are financial obligations that are due for settlement within the next accounting period of 12 months or less.
The long-term liabilities of Busch Company are those financial obligations that are not due for settlement within the next accounting period.
For some long-term liabilities, Busch may settle some part within 12 months. That part that can be settled within the accounting period are classified as current while the other parts are non-current.
The Retained earnings account for Nathan Corporation had a credit balance of $800,000 at the end of 2016. Selected transactions during 2017 follow:
a. Net income was $130,000.
b. Cash dividends declared were $60,000
c. Repurchased 100 shares of Nathan Corporation common stock, paying S20 per share. Each share has a $5 par value and was originally issued for $35.
d. Sold 20 shares of Nathan Corporation common stock for $22 each.
Required:
Calculate Nathan's retained earnings balance as of the end of 2011. How large of a dividend could Nathan have declared in 2011?
Answer:
1 & 2. $870,000
Explanation:
1. Retained Earnings is an equity account from which dividends are paid. The Net Income is added to this and the dividends are deducted from this.
Retained Earnings for the year = Beginning balance + Net Income - Dividends
= 800,000 + 130,000 - 60,000
= $870,000
2. Nathan Corporation could have declared the entire retained earnings of $870,000. This is however, not a recommended action because the Retained Earnings maintain a cushion for the company and as such contribute to financial health and structure of the company.
Fresh Veggies, Inc. (FVI), purchases land and a warehouse for $410,000. In addition to the purchase price, FVI makes the following expenditures related to the acquisition: broker's commission, $21,000; title insurance, $1,100; and miscellaneous closing costs, $4,200. The warehouse is immediately demolished at a cost of $21,000 in anticipation of building a new warehouse. Determine the amount FVI should record as the cost of the land.
Answer:
$457,300
Explanation:
FVI purchased a land and warehouse at the cost of $410,000
The following expenditures were incurred
Broker's commission = $21,000
Title insurance= $1,100
Miscellaneous closing costs= $4,200
Demolition of the warehouse= $21,000
Therefore, the amount in which FVI should record as cost of the land can be calculated as follows
=$410,000+$21,000+$1,100+$4,200+$21,000
= $457,300
Hence the amount that FVI should record as the cost of the land is $457,300
A three-year annuity-immediate will be issued a year from now with annual payments of 5,000. Using the forward rates, calculate the present value of this annuity a year from now.
Answer:
13,152.5
Explanation:
Given the the above parameters as mentioned in the question
To calculate the PV (Present Value)
We have PV = 5000 * 1.05 * [ 1/(1.0575)² + 1/(0.625)³ + 1/(1.065)⁴]
PV = 5000 * 1.05 * (0.8942094350 + 0.8337064929 + 0.7773230908) =
=> PV = 5000 * 1.05 * 2.5052390187
= 13,152.50
Therefore, in this case, using the forward rates, the present value of this annuity a year from now is 13,152.50
A firm has current assets of $36,000, cash of $5,000, current liabilities of $20,000, total assets of $80,000 and total liabilities of $45,000. What is its net working capital?
a. $16,000
b. $28,000
c. $35,000
d. $44,000
Answer:
Option A, $16000, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The current assets = $36000
Cash = $5000
Current liabilities = $20000
Total assets = $80000
Total liabilities = $45000
Use the below formula to find the net working capial.
Net working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities
Net working capital = 36000 – 20000
Net working capital = 16000
Therefore, option A, $16000 is correct.
Anna hired Juan to act as her sales agent in her auto dealership. However, Anna has instructed Juan not to enter into any sales contracts before she has had a chance to review the transaction. One day, Juan entered into a sales contract with William without informing Anna first. Has Juan created a contract with William that is binding on Anna in this situation?
Answer:
Yes, Juan did have apparent authority to act.
Explanation:
In the situation that is being described it can be said that Yes, Juan did have apparent authority to act. Even though Anna has asked Juan to let her review the transaction before entering into a contract, she gave Juan the authority to act on her behalf and represent her as an authority in the auto dealership when she made him a sales agent. Therefore any and all contracts entered by Juan in the dealership are binding on Anna as well.
f the nominal interest rate is 7 percent and the real interest rate "is -2.5" percent, then the inflation rate is
Answer:
9.7%
Explanation:
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real rate) x (1 + inflation rate)
1.07 = 0.975 x (1 + inflation rate)
(1 + inflation rate) = 1.07 / 0.975
(1 + inflation rate) = 1.097
Inflation rate = 1.097 - 1 = 0.097 = 9.7%
Buster Evans is considering investing $20,000 in a project with the following annual cash revenues and expenses: Cash Cash Revenues Expenses Year 1 $ 8,000 $ 8,000 Year 2 $12,000 $ 8,000 Year 3 $15,000 $ 9,000 Year 4 $20,000 $10,000 Year 5 $20,000 $10,000 Depreciation will be $4,000 per year. What is the accounting rate of return on the investment
Answer:
Accounting rate of return= 20%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.
The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:
Accounting rate of return
= Annual operating income/Average investment × 100
Average investment = (Initial cost + scrap value)/2
Average profit = Total profit over investment period / Number of years
Total revenue = 8000+12000+ 15000 + 20,000+ 20,000 = 75000
Total expenses= 8000 + 8000 + 9000 +10,000 + 10,000 = 45000
Cash profit = 75,000 - 45,000 = 30,000
Depreciation = 4000× 5 = 20,000
Accounting profit = Cash profit - Depreciation = 30,000- 20,000 = 10,000
Average profit = 10,000/5 = 2,000
Accounting rate of return = 2,000/20000× 100 = 20%
Accounting rate of return= 20%
Your grandfather has great faith in bonds and has heard about some "high yield bonds" that are available. He has asked you for your opinion. What advice will you give him?
Answer: That they are risky
Explanation:
Bonds tend to give a low return compared to other investments such as stocks which is because they offer a constant payout. However even with bonds there will still be those that promise a higher return than the others and this is because they are riskier.
Bonds are debt instruments which means that the rate they pay is directly related to the risk attached. This is because the interest payment is meant to compensate you for the risk you are taking by getting that bond.
If the yield/return is high it would therefore follow that the risk Is high as well. Your Grandfather should therefore be aware of this risk before investing because riskier bonds might not pay back.
Use information from the Washington Post article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans" to determine whether each statement is true or false.
a. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), worldwide catches peaked in 2001 at 86 million tons.
b. Using catch reconstruction, researchers estimate that the actual peak catch was 50% larger than the reported peak catch.
c, Catch reconstruction shows that, since the peak, catches have been increasing, not decreasing as previously reported.
d. The Sea Around Us Project found several problems with the FAO data, such as the fact that data that were not available were reported as catches of zero fish.
Answer:
"Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans"
Determining whether each statement is true or false:
a. False
b. True
c. False
d. True
Explanation:
The article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans," was published by the Washington Post on January 19, 2016. It was written by Chelsea Harvey. It tried to show how the world fish stock had been declining due to overfishing. This is why it provided a report contrary to the FAO report.
While the FAO report noted that the peak of worldwide catches was at 86 million tons in 1996, the contrary and independent report, using "catch reconstruction" showed that the peak was at 130 million tons in 1996. The reconstructed research also showed that worldwide fish catches had suffered declines ever since the 1996 peak, thereby threatening "world food security and marine ecosystems". The contrary report also suggested that all stakeholders must collaborate so that fish stocks can rebuild naturally.
the annual discount rate is 10% beginning in 2016, you will receive $10000 on the first day of every year. what is the resent value of this inginite sequence of cash flow
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
Data provided
Perpetual cash flow = $10,000
Discount rate = 10%
According to the given situation, the computation of Present value of this inginite sequence of cash flow is shown below:-
Present value = Perpetual cash flow ÷ discount rate
= $10,000 ÷ 10%
= $10,000 ÷ 0.1
= $100,000
Therefore for computing the present value we simply applied the above formula.

Explain how you would value a stock. Provide an example of a valuation of a stock based on retrieved real data. Include evidence of the retrieved data in your answer. Compare your valuation with the actual price of the stock at the designated time for your valuation.
Answer with Explanation:
There are numerous stock valuing models but here, I will use Dividend Valuation Model which is based on finding the intrinsic value of Stock which is the present value of the stock at a required rate of return. The formula to calculate Intrinsic value of stock is given as under:
P0= D0 * (1 + g) / (ke - g)
Here
P0 is the intrinsic value of the stock
D0 is the dividend just paid
g is the growth rate
ke is the investor's required rate of return
The model doesn't holds if the company doesn't pays Dividend.
Now suppose that the Dividend just paid by Apple is $20 per stock. The anticipated growth rate of dividend is 10% and the required rate of return is at 15%.
By putting values in the above equation, we have:
P0= $20 * (1 + 10%) / (15% - 10%)
= $20 / (15% - 10%)
= $400 per share
The value of stock of Apple is $400 per share which must be its fair market value as per the Dividend Valuation Model.
As per the model, if the value of stock is higher as per dividend valuation model then we must purchase the stock as it will generate higher value and vice versa. The inherent limitation of the model is that it assumes that the dividend is growing at constant rate and is consistently paid. The main disadvantage of Dividend valuation model is that it doesn't account for political factors, economical factors, evolving business risks, technological factors, etc.
Airborne Airlines Inc. has a $1,000 par value bond outstanding with 10 years to maturity. The bond carries an annual interest payment of $90 and is currently selling for $960. Airborne is in a 20 percent tax bracket. The firm wishes to know what the aftertax cost of a new bond issue is likely to be. The yield to maturity on the new issue will be the same as the yield to maturity on the old issue because the risk and maturity date will be similar.
Required:
a. Compute the yield to maturity on the old issue and use this as the yield for the new issue.
b. Make the appropriate tax adjustment to determine the aftertax cost of debt.
Answer:Yield to maturity is 9.59%; After tax cost of debt =7.672%
Explanation:
A) Yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}
Where C – Interest payment = $90
FV – Face value of the security
= $1000
PV – Present value/curent market value = $960
t – years it takes the security to reach maturity= 10 years
imputing the values and calculating,
yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}
= $90 + (1000-960)/10} / 1000 + 960 /2
$90 + 4= $94 /980= 0.0959
therefore Yield to maturity is 9.59%
B) After tax cost of debt = Yield To Maturity x (1 - tax rate)
=9.59% x (1-20%)= 9.59% x (1-0.2 )= 9.59% x 0.8 =
9.59 % x 80%=7.672%
15. Karla Salons leased equipment from Smith Co. on July 1, 2021, in a finance lease. The present value of the lease payments discounted at 10% was $81,100. Ten annual lease payments of $12,000 are due each year beginning July 1, 2021. Smith Co. had constructed the equipment recently for $66,000, and its retail fair value was $81,100. What amount of interest revenue from the lease should Smith Co. report in its December 31, 2021, income statement
Answer: $3,455
Explanation:
The interest received by Smith can be calculated as;
Interest Value = Present value of lease payment * interest rate
Present Value of interest rate
Ten annual lease payments of $12,000 are due each year beginning July 1, 2021.
That means first payment has been made already. Present value is;
= 81,100 - 12,000
= $69,100
Only half a year has gone by so this will need to be reflected;
Interest Value = Present value of lease payment * interest rate
= 69,100 * 10% * 6/12
= $3,455
Kathy fields wants to buy a condominium selling for $95,000. The bank is requiring 20% down and is charging 9.5% interest for a 25 year loan. determine the amount required down payment and the amount of the monthly payment for the principal and interest.
Answer:
The down payment is 19000 and monthly payment is 664.009
Explanation:
The purchase price of condominium = $95000
Down payment = 20%
Interest charged = 9.5 %
Time period = 25 years
Down payment amount = 95000 × 20% = 19000
Remaining loan amount = $76000
Below is the calculation of monthly payment:
[tex]\text{Present vlaue of annuity} =\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} \\A = monthy \ installment \\76000 = \frac{A(1-(1+ 0.095/12)^{-25\times 12})}{ 0.095/12} \\A(0.906112) = 601.667 \\A = 664.009[/tex]
If D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00 per unit per month, a) What is the economic order quantity? The EOQ is 601601 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) How does your answer change if the holding cost doubles? The EOQ is 425425 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). c) What if the holding cost drops in half? The EOQ is nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number).
Answer: A) The Economic Order Quantity is 601 units.
B)The Economic Order Quantity is 425 units.
C )The Economic Order Quantity is 849 units
Explanation:
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{ 2 x Dx S/ H}[/tex]
where D= demand
S = Order cost
H= holding cost.
a)when D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2x D x S /H}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 x 8,200 x 44 /2 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{360,800}[/tex] = 600.666= 601 units
b) if the holding cost doubles, holding cost = HX 2 = 2 X 2 = 4
EOQ, economic order quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8,200 X 44 / 2 X $2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{180,400}[/tex] = 424.73 = 425units
C) if the holding cost drops in half, holding cost = H/2 = 2 X 1/2 = 1
EOQ, economic order quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8200 x 44/1}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{721,600}[/tex] = 849.47 = 849units

Answer: The company was able to issue the bonds for $7,479,078 rather than $6,200,000 because the market rate of interest is less than the contract rate of interest.
Kenneth Arrow discussed two important situations in which profit maximization can be socially inefficient. One of these occurs when
Answer:
Explanation:
One of these occurs when costs are not paid for, as in pollution, the other is when there is an imbalance of knowledge between buyer and seller. Pollution can be a consequence that cannot be solved with money and can also be socially irresponsible for a company. On the other hand, an imbalance of knowledge can prevent a company from profit maximization if the seller does not understand the product or services that the buyer is selling.
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $70,300 and a current ratio of 1.90. Assume that the following transactions were completed:_________.
(1) purchased merchandise for $6,700 on account and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $2,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Compute the updated current ratio (round answers to 2 decimal places)Transaction (1) ________________Transaction (2) ________________I am not sure how to do this problem, I understand how to general compute the current ration:________.Current raion= currenct assets/current liabilitiesbut how do you do compute an update?If someone could show me how to do this correctly, I will award them lifesaver.
Answer:
Appalachian Beverages
With reported current assets of $70,300 and a current ratio of 1.90, one can work out the current liabilities from these two. The current liabilities are equal to $70,300/1.90 - $37,000. To work back, one can state that current ratio equals $70,300/$37,000 = 1.90.
Having ascertained the value of the former current liabilities, one can use the information to update the two parameters for calculating the current ratio as follows:
Current liabilities increased by $6,700 from purchase of merchandise on account and of a delivery truck by $8,000. So, the updated current liabilities equal to $37,000 + 6,700 + 8,000 = $51,700. Similarly, the current assets decreased by $2,000 for the part-payment for the delivery truck. Thus, current assets are now equal to $68,300 ($70,300 - 2,000).
Having updated the two parameters, one can then compute the updated current ratio as follows:
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities = $68,300/$51,700 = 1.32.
Explanation:
Appalachian Beverages' current ratio shows the relationship between current assets and current liabilities and the ability of the entity to settle current liabilities with current assets.
g The company plans a 4-for-1 stock split. How many shares will you own and what will the share price be after the stock split?
Answer: 14,400; $17
Explanation:
Stock splits are a strategy by firms to increase the liquidity of their shares especially when they are trading at a high price. The firm divides the stock by a certain number thus increasing the number of shares by the multiple of the number. This action will divide the price of the stock and thus allow for more trade as they are cheaper.
A 4-for- stock split means that each share will become 4.
Your total number of share will become;
= 4 * 3,600
= 14,400 shares
The new price will be;
= 68/4
= $17 per share

Currently Baldwin is paying a dividend of $1.10 (per share). If this dividend stayed the same, but the stock price rose by 10% what would be the dividend yield
Answer:
Dividend yield = 227.06%
Explanation:
Assuming the Closing stock market summary for Baldwin company is $44.05
Dividend yield = Dividend * 100 / (Price* (1 + growth rate) )
Dividend yield = 1.10 * 100 / (44.05 * (1+0.10) )
Dividend yield = 1.10 * 100 / (44.05 * 1.10)
Dividend yield = 110 / 48.455
Dividend yield = 2.2706
Dividend yield = 227.06%

Common stock—$10 par value, 100,000 shares authorized, 40,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 400,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 60,000 Retained earnings 460,000 Total stockholders' equity $ 920,000 During 2019, the following transactions affected its stockholders’ equity accounts. Jan. 2 Purchased 4,500 shares of its own stock at $25 cash per share. Jan. 5 Directors declared a $2 per share cash dividend payable on February 28 to the February 5 stockholders of record. Feb. 28 Paid the dividend declared on January 5. July 6 Sold 1,688 of its treasury shares at $29 cash per share. Required: 1. Prepare journal entries to record each of these transactions.
Answer:
Kohler Corporation
Journal Entries:
Jan. 2:
Debit Treasury Stock $45,000
Debit Paid-in Capital In Excess of Par $67,500
Credit Cash Account $112,500
To record the purchase of 4,500 shares of its own stock at $25 per share.
Jan. 5:
Debit Dividends $71,000
Credit Dividends Payable $71,000
To record the declaration of $2 per share cash dividend.
Feb. 28:
Debit Dividends Payable $71,000
Credit Cash Account $71,000
To record the payment of cash dividend on 35,500 shares at $2 per share.
July 6:
Debit Cash Account $48,952
Credit Treasury Stock $16,880
Credit Paid-in Capital In Excess of Par $32,072
To record the sale of treasury stock shares at $29 per share.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Common stock—$10 par value, 100,000 shares authorized,
40,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 400,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par value,
common stock 60,000
Retained earnings 460,000
Total stockholders' equity $ 920,000
b) The purchase on Jan. 2 of its own stock of 4,500 shares, the cash receipt is credited to the Cash Account while the Treasury Stock is debited, but only with the par value of the repurchased shares if the par value method is adopted. If the costing method is adopted, the value to be debited to the Treasury Stock account would have $112,500 without any debit to the Paid-in Capital In Excess of Par. This is also followed when the sale of 1,688 treasury shares at $29 per share takes place on July 6, but with opposite entries.
c) To compute the dividend payable, the treasury stock shares of 4,500 are deducted from the outstanding shares of 40,000. This means that the shareholders of record have shares outstanding totalling 35,500 (40,000 - 4,500).
d) The general journal is used in these cases to record the transactions initially in the books of Kohler Corporation. They show the accounts to be debited and the others to be credited, since two accounts or more are usually involved in any business transaction.

2. Poor Image of the Union:

5. Global competition and deregulation in Unionized industries:
Since most of the companies or industries that have union has been deregulated, this has increased its competition, there by, making the need for union not really necessary, because with or without Union, one may still faces sack.
