Answer:D
Explanation:
Headland Inc. issued $4,130,000 of 11%, 10-year convertible bonds on June 1, 2020, at 98 plus accrued interest. The bonds were dated April 1, 2020, with interest payable April 1 and October 1. Bond discount is amortized semiannually on a straight-line basis. On April 1, 2021, $1,548,750 of these bonds were converted into 24,000 shares of $21 par value common stock. Accrued interest was paid in cash at the time of conversion. (a) Prepare the entry to record the interest expense at October 1, 2020. Assume that accrued interest payable was credited when the bonds were issued. (b) Prepare the entry to record the conversion on April 1, 2021. (Book value method is used.) Assume that the entry to record amortization of the bond discount and interest payment has been made.
Answer:
A. Dr Interest Payable $75,717
Dr Interest expense $154,233
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $2,800
Cr Cash $227,150
B. Dr Bonds payable $1,548,750
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $28,350
Cr Common Stock$504,000
Cr Paid-in capital in excess of par- Common Stock $1,073,100
Explanation:
(a) Preparation of the entry to record the interest expense at October 1, 2020. Assume that accrued interest payable was credited when the bonds were issued.
Dr Interest Payable $75,717
[($4,130,000*0.11)/2*(2/6)]
Dr Interest expense $154,233
[($4,130,000*.11)/2*(4/6) + $2,800]
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $2,800
($700*4)
Cr Cash $227,150
[ ( $4,130,000*.11)/2]
Calculation for the discount per month
First step is to calculate the remaining months
Months remaining= (10 years *12-2)
Months remaining=118 months
Second step is to calculate the Total discount
Total Discount=$4,130,000-($4,130,000*.98)
total discount=$4,130,000-$4,047,400
total discount=$82,600
Now let calculate the discount per month
Discount per month=($82,600/118)
Discount per month=$700
(b) Preparation of the entry to record the conversion on April 1, 2021
Dr Bonds payable $1,548,750
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $28,350
Cr Common Stock$504,000
(24,000*$21)
Cr Paid-in capital in excess of par- Common Stock $1,073,100
[$1,548,750+$28,350-($504,000)]
Calculation for Unamortized bond discount
Discount of the bonds $30,975
($82,600*(3/8))
Less Discount amortized ($2,625)
[($82,600/118)*10 years*(3/8)]
Unamortized bond discount $28,350
($30,975-$2,625)
Reading the newspaper this morning, you found an article that mentions a woman named Nada who used to live down the street from you. Nada was recently hired by the First State Bank to assist in the evaluation and forecasting of future financial and economic conditions in the communities served by the bank. In which area of finance does Nada work
Answer:
the options are missing:
Financial services
Financial markets and institutions
Managerial finance
Investments
the answer is Financial services.
Explanation:
Financial markets and institutions deals with stock and bond markets, it doesn't include evaluation of local markets.
Managerial finance deals with financial data analysis, and has nothing to do with Nada.
Investments generally deals with large clients, so neighborhood or community analysis doesn't fit very well either
Financial services includes serving smaller clients, e.g. opening checking accounts, mortgages, etc.

Concord Corporation had the following transactions during 2022: 1. Issued $190000 of par value common stock for cash. 2. Recorded and paid wages expense of $91200. 3. Acquired land by issuing common stock of par value $76000. 4. Declared and paid a cash dividend of $15200. 5. Sold a long-term investment (cost $4560) for cash of $4560. 6. Recorded cash sales of $608000. 7. Bought inventory for cash of $243200. 8. Acquired an investment in Zynga stock for cash of $31920. 9. Converted bonds payable to common stock in the amount of $760000. 10. Repaid a 6-year note payable in the amount of $334400. What is the net cash provided by financing activities
Answer:
The net cash provided by financing activities -$157,600.
Explanation:
Net cash provided by financing activities refers to the difference between the total cash inflows and total cash outflows from the financing activities section of the cash flow staement.
The net cash provided by financing activities can be calculated by preparing a partial cash flow statement as follows:
Concord Corporation
Net Cash Flow Statement (Partial)
As at December 31, 2022
Details Amount
Par value common stock issued for cash 190,000
Dividend declared and paid in cash (15,200)
6-year note payable repaid (334,400)
Net cash provided by financing activities (157,600)
Therefore, the net cash provided by financing activities -$157,600.
Alternatively, the net cash provided by financing activities can be calculated as follows:
Net cash provided by financing activities = Par value common stock issued for cash - Dividend declared and paid in cash - 6-year note payable repaid = $190,000 - $15,200 - $334,400 = -$157,600
On January 1, year 8, Derek Co.’s defined benefit pension plan had plan assets with a fair value of $750,000, and a projected benefit obligation of $875,000. In addition: Actual and expected return on plan assets – 7% Interest cost – 9% Service costs - $24,000 Unamortized prior service cost - $120,000 Employer contributions to the plan - $45,000 Distributions to employees from the plan - $60,000 Unamortized prior service cost is being amortized over the expected remaining service lives of covered employees, which consists of a total of 9 employees: 2 employees are each expected to have 9 years remaining 3 employees are each expected to have 6 years remaining 4 employees are each expected to have 1 year remaining How much amortization of prior service cost will be included in Derek Co.’s pension expense for year 8?
Answer: $27,000
Explanation:
Amortization of prior cost = (No. of employees / Total number of years left) * Unamortized prior service cost
Total number of years left:
2 employees are each expected to have 9 years remaining = 2 * 9
= 18 years
3 employees are each expected to have 6 years remaining = 3 * 6
= 18 years
4 employees are each expected to have 1 year remaining = 4 * 1
= 4 years
Total number of years = 18 + 18 + 4
= 40 years
Amortization of prior cost = (9 / 40) * 120,000
= $27,000
Which of the following statements is true based on what we know about the properties of utility? Group of answer choices Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda and 25 utility from eating a pizza. Therefore, Alexandra enjoys pizza more than sodas. Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda, and Ally receives 20 utility from consuming one soda. They both receive the same level of satisfaction from consuming a soda. Natalie receives 20 utility from watching a movie while Andrew receives 30 utility from playing a video game. Therefore, Andrew enjoys video games more than Natalie enjoys movies. Ally receives 15 utility from consuming one pizza while Jason receives 25 utility from eating one pizza. Therefore, Jason enjoys pizzas more than Ally.
Answer:
Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda and 25 utility from eating a pizza. Therefore, Alexandra enjoys pizza more than sodas.
Explanation:
Utility is defined as the level of satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming various products. It is subjective and is dependent on individual preferences.
So utility or level of satisfaction differs from one individual to the other.
For example 20 utility for Alexandra will be different for 20 utility from Jason as each person has a user defined measurement of utility.
The only option that conveys individual utility is - Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda and 25 utility from eating a pizza. Therefore, Alexandra enjoys pizza more than sodas.
Alexandra defines her own utility so her level of satisfaction can be compared when she consumes soda and pizza.
The other options compares utility between different individuals and this cannot be done objectively as each person defines his own utility.
Describe what will happen to total revenue in the following situations: 1. Price decreases and demand is elastic 2. Price decreases and demand is inelastic 3. Price increases and demand is elastic 4. Price increases and demand is inelastic 5. Price increases and demand is unitary elastic 6. Price decreases and demand is perfectly inelastic 7. Price increases and demand is perfectly elastic
Answer:
Total revenue increases
If prices are reduced, demand would increase more than the fall in price and total revenue would increase.
2. Total revenue falls. If price is reduced, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and as a result total revenue would fall.
3. Total revenue falls. If prices are increased, demand would fall more than the rise in price and total revenue would fall.
4, Total revenue increases. If demand is inelastic and prices are increased, the rise in price would be greater than the fall in demand. As a result, total revenue increases
5. no change in total revenue . a increase in price leads to an equal change in quantity demanded and there would be no change in total revenue
6. fall. If prices decreases, there would be no change in quantity demanded and total revenue would fall
7. total revenue falls to zero. If prices are increased, demand would fall to zero and total revenue would fall
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes. If prices are reduced, demand would increase more than the fall in price and total revenue would increase. If prices are increased, demand would fall more than the rise in price and total revenue would fall.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one. If price is increased, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and total revenue would increase. If price is reduced, total revenue would fall.
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded. If price increases, there would be an equal change in quantity demanded, total revenue would remain the same
Answer:
a. The overall income will drop.
b. The overall income will drop.
c. The overall income will drop.
d. The overall income will rise.
e. The overall income will not change.
f. The overall income will not change.
g. The overall income will not change.
Explanation:
a. If there is an elastic demand for the product and the price goes down, the overall revenue will go down. This is due to the fact that when there is a decrease in price, there is a rise in the amount that is desired. This is due to the fact that customers are sensitive to changes in price and will begin purchasing a greater quantity of the item or service after the price has dropped. Yet, because of the drop in price, there will be a reduction in the overall income that is generated from the sale of the product or service. This is due to the fact that the increase in quantity will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in cost that will result from the sale.
b. If there is no change in the level of demand, but the price is decreased, total revenue will likewise go down. This is due to the fact that if there is a fall in price, there will be an increase in the amount that is desired. Unfortunately, the increase in quantity will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in price, which will result in a lower overall income. This is due to the fact that the increase in supply will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in cost.
c. If there is no significant change in demand, then higher prices will not significantly affect overall income. This is due to the fact that as the price goes up, the amount of the good that is desired will go down. This is due to the fact that customers are sensitive to changes in price and will begin purchasing less of the item or service as the price rises. Even if the rise in price is more than the reduction in quantity desired, the overall income will still fall because of the lower amount of the good or service that is being purchased.
d. If there is no change in the level of demand, a rise in price will lead to an increase in total income. This is due to the fact that if the price goes higher, the quantity needed will go down, but not by an amount that is sufficient to compensate for the price going up. As a consequence, there will be an increase in total income as a direct consequence of the price rise.
e. if the demand is unitary elastic and the price goes up, the overall revenue won't change but it will stay the same. This is due to the fact that whenever there is a rise in price, there is a corresponding fall in the number of goods that are desired. As a consequence, there will be no change in overall income as a result of the rise in price since it will be balanced out by the drop in quantity.
f. If there is no change in the level of demand, regardless of whether the price goes up or down, overall revenue will stay the same. This is due to the fact that even if prices go down, consumers will still want the same amount of the good or service. Thus, there will be no change in overall income as a consequence of the fall in price since this will be balanced out by the demand for the same amount.
g. If there is no change in demand despite a rise in price, businesses will get the same amount of revenue overall. This is due to the fact that once the price is raised, customers will no longer purchase any of the product or service. Because of this, there will be no change in overall income as a consequence of the rise in price since there will be no change in the amount that is required.
Orientation responsibilities are normally shared between:
of 2
Select one:
a. the HR department and top management.
b. mid- and upper-level executives.
C. coworkers and line managers.
d. the HR department and the new employee's immediate manager.
Clear my choice
Answer:
d. the HR department and the new employee's immediate manager.
Explanation:
An "employee orientation" is part of a new employee's onboarding process, before he's trained. It often happens on the first day of employment. It allows the new employee to feel welcomed in the company, which will make him more successful in achieving his goal.
It is the role of the HR department and direct manager or immediate manager to conduct the orientation. It is the role of the HR to give the employee the company handbook and sign contracts. On the other hand, the immediate manager introduces the new employee to his colleagues and gives him a tour of the company's premise. Some immediate managers provide a welcome party.
Project1 costs, Year 1 through Year 4: $100,000; $100,000;$100,000;$100,000 Project1 revenue, Year 1 through Year 4: $0; $5,000;$50,000;$110,000 Calculate ROI for Project1, using a 7 percent discount rate. Discount factor, Year 1 through Year 4: 0.93; 0.87; 0.82; 0.76 Fill in the following blanks - just type the numbers without labels, dollar signs, commas, etc.
Answer and Explanation:
Without discounting :
Return on investment(ROI) for year 1 = -$100000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 2 = -$95000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 3 =-$50000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 4 =$10000
With discounting(PV/(1+r)^n):
Return on investment for year 1 = 0.93×-$100000= -$93000
Return on investment for year 2= 0.87×-$95000= -$82650
Return on investment for year 3 = 0.82×-$50000=-$41000
Return on investment for year 4=
0.76×$10000= $7600
Paying higher wages encourages workers to be more productive. Higher wages cause workers to shirk more of their responsibilities. Paying higher wages enhances workers to adopt healthier lifestyles, enhancing their productivity. Paying higher wages tends to reduce the average experience level of a firm's workers.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice First and third"
Explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
The higher wages will improve the productivity of workers in various ways, that are salary with the number of workers exceeds the cost of labor, in the fewer countries. It can be associated with both the poor diet and over-market wages in these environments can enable the workers of the company to remain fit and efficient. The fewer employees may decide to seek other employment opportunities when a business pays salaries just above the current market price. This elimination of employee sales will minimize company training costs because new employees need to be trained.
In 2016, Gruman uses the machine for 1,700 hours and produces 40,000 units. In 2017, Gruman uses the machine for 1,200 hours and produces 34,000 units. If required, round your final answers to the nearest dollar. Required: Compute the depreciation for 2016 and 2017 under each of the following methods:
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete and lacks necessary data and requirements to solve. However, I have found a similar question on the internet and will be using its data to solve for this question. Furthermore, it has not given the name of methods, so I will be solving for two methods, which are:
1. Straight Line Method
2. Sum of the years depreciation Method.
Solution:
Data Missing:
Machine Price = $198,000
Service Life = 5 years or 10,000 hours
Production = 180,000 units
Residual Value = $18000
Now, the data is complete and can be solved for the above mentioned methods of depreciation.
1. Straight Line Method:
As we know,
Asset Cost = $198,000
Residual Value = $18000
Life in Years = 5
Depreciation:
Formula for Straight Line Depreciation is:
(Asset Cost - Residual Value)/life in years
Plugging in the values:
Depreciation = ($198,000 - $18000)/5
Depreciation = $180,000/5
Depreciation = 36000
It will be same for both the years 2016 and 2017 as well.
2. Sum of the years Depreciation Method:
For this, we need to have the depreciable asset value:
Depreciable Asset Value = (Asset Value - Residual Value)
Depreciable Asset Value = ($198,000 - $18000)
Depreciable Asset Value = $180,000
Sum of the years for 2016
Number of years for 2016 = 5
Sum = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Number of years for 2017 = 4
So, the formula for depreciation is:
(Number of years for 2016/Sum of Years) x depreciable Asset Value
(5/15) x 180,000 = 60,000
Similarly, for 2017
(Number of years for 2017/Sum of Years) x depreciable Asset Value
(4/15) x 180,000 = 48,000
Hence,
1. Straight Line Method:
Depreciation for 2016 = 36000
Depreciation for 2017 = 36000
2. Sum of the years Depreciation Method:
Depreciation for 2016 = 60,000
Depreciation for 2017 = 48,000
ABC Services reported the following transactions for September, 2013. A) The owner opened the business with a capital contribution of $23,500 cash. It was credited to Capital. B) The business purchased office equipment for $11,500. The business paid $2,500 cash down and put the balance on a note payable. C) The business paid insurance expense of $1,350 cash. D) The business paid a utility bill for $980 cash. E. The business paid $2,000 cash for September rent. F. The business had sales of $12,000 in September. Of these sales, 60% were cash sales, and the balance was credit sales. G. The business paid $9,700 cash for office furniture. What are the total liabilities at the end of September, 2013
Answer:
ABC Services
The total liabilities at the end of September, 2013
= $9,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Capital contribution = $23,500
Equipment = $11,500
Cash payment for equipment = $2,500
Note payable on equipment = $9,000
Insurance expense paid = $1,350
Utility expense paid = $980
Rent paid = $2,000
Sales = $12,000
Cash Sales = $7,200 (60% of $12,000)
Credit Sales = $4,800 (40% of $12,000)
Office furniture paid = $9,700
Therefore, total liabilities at the end of September, 2013 = $9,000. This represents the note payable for the office equipment purchased in B.
Number of Employees 20 Average Salary per employee $ 30,000 Weeks per year 52 Minutes available per week 2,400 Practical capacity percentage 80 % If a company uses time-driven activity-based costing, what is the practical capacity of resources supplied in minutes
Answer:
1,996,800 minutes
Explanation:
Calculation for what is the practical capacity of resources supplied in minutes
Practical capacity of resources supplied =52 weeks × 2,400 minutes per week× 80% × 20 employees
Practical capacity of resources supplied= 1,996,800 minutes
Therefore the practical capacity of resources supplied in minutes is 1,996,800 minutes

Michael won the Powerball jackpot of 57 million dollars. He has two options to collect the cash: (a) 30-year annuities (first payment one year from today) which future value equates the jackpot amount given that the prevailing interest rate is 8% per year; (b) a single payment now, corresponding to the present value of those 30-year annuities. Michael has big plans, hence he prefers option (b). Assuming that there are no taxes, how much money will he be able to collect now
Answer:
$5,664,627.53
Explanation:
future value of the annuity = $57 million
interest rate = 8%
number of periods = 30
FV annuity factor, 8%, 30 periods = 113.283
annual payment = future value / FV annuity factor= $57,000,000 / 113.283 = $503,164.64
the present value of an annuity = annual payments x PV annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 30 periods, 8% = 11.258
present value of the annuity = $503,164.64 x 11.258 = $5,664,627.53

Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.
Answer:
The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.
Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.
Martha is a regional supervisor who earns a base salary of $34,400 per year plus a 1% commission on all service contracts that she sells to existing customers. The company pays salaries on a semi monthly basis and contract commissions on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, Martha had made $38,200 in contract sales for the third quarter. What will be her gross pay on her next pay date
Answer:
Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Number of semi months in a year = 24
Semi monthly salary = Salary per year / Number of semi months in a year = $34,400 / 24 = $1,433.33
Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = Contract sales for the third quarter * Commission percentage = $38,200 * 1% = $382
Martha gross pay on her next pay date = Semi monthly salary + Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = $1,433.33 + $382 = $1,815.33
Therefore, Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.
