On January 1, a company issued and sold a $408,000, 9%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $403,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The journal entry to record the first interest payment is:
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Bond interest expense Dr, $18,610
To Cash $18360
To Discount on bonds $250
(Being first interest payment is recorded)
For recording the first interest payment we simply debited the bond interest expenses as it increased the expenses and we credited cash and discount on bonds as it reduced the assets and the discount should be credited
Working Note
Total discount on bonds issued = Sold bonds - Received proceeds
= $408,000 - $403,000
= $5,000
Amortization of Semi Annual Discount = Total discount on bonds issued ÷ Number of periods
= $5,000 ÷ 20
= $250
Cash interest paid = Sold bonds × Interest rate × From Jan to June ÷ Total number of months in a year
= $408,000 × 9% × 6 ÷ 12
= $18,360
Total Interest expense = Cash interest paid + Amortization of Semi Annual Discount
= $18,360 + $250
= $18,610

Under the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts, a. the cash realizable value of accounts receivable is greater before an account is written off than after it is written off. b. Bad Debts Expense is debited when a specific account is written off as uncollectible. c. the cash realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet is the same before and after an account is written off. d. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is closed each year to Income Summary.
Answer:
c. the cash realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet is the same before and after an account is written off.
Explanation:
Under the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts, the cash realizable value of accounts receivable in the balance sheet is the same before and after an account is written off and bad debt expenses is debited.
This means that in the period in which an account previously written off is collected, the income is unaffected.
Also, under the allowance method of accounting, total assets will remain unchanged when a particular account is being written off.
After a retiring from a successful business career, you would like to make a donation to your university. This donation will go into the school’s endowment pool and the returns generated from the donation will support the salary of a new professor in the business school on a perpetual basis. The university expects to earn returns of 5.5% on its endowment pool. You may assume that any distributions to support the salary will be made annually.
Part A) You can make a donation today (t=0) in the amount of $2,500,000. The first cash flow distribution from your donation to cover the professor's salary will take place in one year (at t=1). Which of the following is closest to the annual salary payment that can be made as a result of your donation?
A. $2,500,000
B. $454,545
C. $100,000
D. $137,500
Part B) After further discussions, the university determines that the employment agreement with the new professor will call for annual salary increases of 2%. Given this new requirement, and assuming the first salary distribution will still occur one year from today, what is the starting salary (at t=1) that can be supported with your $2,500,000 donation?
A. $50,000
B. $187,500
C. $140,250
D. $87,500
Answer:
Part A) D. $137,500
Part B) C. $140,250
Explanation:
Part A) The computation of annual salary payment is shown below:-
Annual salary = Donation made × Interest rate
= $2,500,000 × 5.5%
= $137,500
So, for computing the annual salary we simply multiply the donation made with interest rate.
Part B) The computation of starting salary is shown below:-
Starting salary = Annual salary + Increased annual salary
= $137,500 + 2%
= $140,250
Therefore for computing the starting salary we simply added the annual salary with increased annual salary.

=$4,125,000
The following data pertain to last year's operations at Tredder Corporation, a company that produces a single product: Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 20,000 Units sold 19,000 Selling price per unit $100.00 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $12.00 Direct labor $25.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $3.00 Variable selling and administrative $2.00 Fixed expenses per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead $500,000 Fixed selling and administrative $600,000 What was the absorption costing net operating income last year?
Answer:
Net operating income= 27,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units produced 20,000
Units sold 19,000
Selling price per unit $100.00
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $12.00
Direct labor $25.00
Variable manufacturing overhead $3.00
Variable selling and administrative $2.00
Fixed expenses per year:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $500,000
Fixed selling and administrative $600,000
Under the absorption costing method, the fixed manufacturing overhead gets included in the unitary production cost. First, we need to calculate the unitary product cost.
Unitary product cost= (12 + 25 + 3) + (500,000/20,000)
Unitary product cost= 40 + 25= $65
Income statement:
Sales= 100*19,000= 1,900,000
COGS= 65*19,000= (1,235,000)
Gross profit= 665,000
Variable selling and administrative= (2*19,000)=(38,000)
Fixed selling and administrative= (600,000)
Net operating income= 27,000

Moreover, that promise is consider to be legitim in court if it was stated in a written way in where both parties agree to the terms of use.
Money's power to buy goods and services changes ________.
Answer:
...with rates of inflation.
Explanation:
The more that a particular currency appears in the market without any work (value) being associated with that currency, the smaller the value of that particular form of currency (For example, the U.S. dollar). When inflation is high, banks will increase interest rates on loans in order to get rid of some of the of the surplus currency in the market, bringing down inflation and increasing the total value of a particular form of currency.
Movers Company manufactures sneakers. Production of its new sneakers for the coming three months is budgeted as follows: August 28,000 September 50,000 October 33,000 Each sneaker requires 2.5 hours of direct labor time. Direct labor wages average $16 per hour. Monthly variable overhead averages $10 per direct labor hour plus fixed overhead of $4,500. What is the total overhead budgeted for the month of September
Answer:
Budgeted overhead cost =$1,250,000
Explanation:
Budgeted overhead for the month of September = Total labour hours × overhead rate per hour
Total labor hours = standard hours × budgeted production units
=2.5 hours × 40,000= 125,000
Budgeted overhead cost Total = $10× 125,000 =$1250000
Budgeted overhead cost =$1,250,000
Answer:
$1,254,500
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Production of sneakers for three months budgets were :
August= 28000
September = 50,000
October = 33,000
Each sneakers requires labor time = 2.5 hours
Labor wages average = $16.
Now,
The total overhead budgeted for the month of September is calculated as follows:
The total overhead budgeted for the month of September = Variable overhead + Fixed overhead
= (50,000 units * 2.5 direct labor hours per unit * $10 per direct labor hour) + $4,500
= $1,254,500
Therefore, the total overhead budgeted for the month of September is $1,254,500

At the beginning of last year, Tarind Corporation budgeted $900,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead and chose a denominator level of activity of 600,000 machine-hours. At the end of the year, Tari's fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance was $12,000 favorable. Its fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance was $19,200 favorable. Actual direct labor-hours for the year were 625,000. What was Tari's total standard machine-hours allowed for last year's output?
Answer:
The answer is 612800 hours
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
At the start of last year, Tari Corporation budgeted $900,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead and chose a denominator level of activity of 600,000 machine-hours.
At the end of the year, Tari's fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance was $12000 favorable. Its fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance was $19200 favorable. The direct actual labor-hours for the year were 625,000. What was Tari's standard total machine-hours allowed for last year's output?
Now,
The Budgeted at beginning of the year = $900,000
fixed manufacturing overhead for = 600,000 machine hours
Thus,
The Standard = $900,000 / 600,000 hours = $1.5 fixed overhead / machine/machining hour
So,
At end of year, manufacturing overhead volume was $19,200 favorable which means that,
$19200 / $1.5 = 12800 additional hours.
Total Standard Machine Allowance Allowed for output = 600,000 +12800 = 612800 hours
Therefore, Tari's total standard machine-hours allowed for last year's output is 612800 hours
If Tarind Corporation budgeted $900,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead and chose a denominator level of activity of 600,000 machine-hours. At the end of the year, Its fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance was $19,200 favorable. What Tari's total standard machine-hours allowed for last year's output will be is: 612,800 machine hours
Using this formula
Total standard machine-hours=Machine -hours level of activity+ [Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance÷(Fixed manufacturing overhead÷ Machine -hours level of activity)]
Where:
Machine -hours level of activity=600,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance=$19,200
Fixed manufacturing overhead=$900,000
Let plug in the formula
Total standard machine-hours=600,000+[$19,200÷($900,000÷600,000)]
Total standard machine-hours=600,000+($19,200÷1.5)
Total standard machine-hours=600,000+12,800
Total standard machine-hours=612,800 machine hours
Inconclusion if Tarind Corporation budgeted $900,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead and chose a denominator level of activity of 600,000 machine-hours. At the end of the year, Its fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance was $19,200 favorable. What Tari's total standard machine-hours allowed for last year's output will be is: 612,800 machine hours

Suppose that SoS sells both versions and wants to charge different prices for different versions. What is the highest price of the bluetooth version for the high-valuation buyers? (Hint: Since low-valuation buyers will not have an incentive to buy the more expensive version, the highest price of the stripped-down version for the low-valuation buyers is equal to their willingness to pay, i.e., pL = $250)
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
Since the high valuation customers are willing to pay $500 for the Bluetooth headphones, that price should be set for the Bluetooth versions. The problem will arise if the high valuation customers shift to the stripped down version as well. However, since they care for the Bluetooth versions and stripped down versions separately, it is highly likely that they will prefer the Bluetooth headphones.
So the highest price that can be set for the Bluetooth headphones for the high value buyer will be $500.
5) If the price is set at $500 for high value customers and $250 for low value customers, total profit can be given as
Profit = 1,000,000 * (250 - 100) + 800,000 * (500 - 100)
Profit = 150,000,000 + 320,000,000 = $470 million

Are monopolies economically efficient? Consider the market to the right. Compared to the perfectly competitive outcome, what would be the change in surplus if instead the market had one supplier that was a monopoly?
Answer:
Deadweight loss (Triangle between all three lines, hits all three points).
Explanation:
This is explained to be triangle between all three lines as it hits all three points involved.
It can also be explained to be Harberger's triangle in the sense that the loss occurring in the trade of a good or service due to market power of buyers or sellers or a government intervention, or other bodies concerned is lost due when it is not produced maximumly to reach everyone who meeds it.
Deadweight loss, also can be a measure of lost economic efficiency when the socially optimal quantity of a good or a service is not produced. Non-optimal production can be caused by monopoly pricing in the case of artificial scarcity, a positive or negative externality, a tax or subsidy, or a binding price ceiling or price floor such as a minimum wage.
[10 points] Suppose Wilwaukee Telecom offers its users the option of paying either (a) $2.00 per minute for telephone service or (b) a $125 flat charge for a year of unlimited toll-free calls. Consider a customer with an annual demand for telephone service of P = 11 – 0.1Q, where P is the price per minute and Q is the number of minutes of calls made per year. Calculate the consumer surplus for each of the plans (a) and (b).
Answer:
For plan A, P = 2.
Then from demand curve, 2 = 11-.1Q
So .1Q = 9
Q* = 90
B) under plan b, P = zero
So make 11 = .1Q
Q* = 110
Now Consumer surplus from a)
CS = .5*(11-2)*90 = ∆ABC
= .5*9*90 = 405
From b)
CS = .5*11*110 - 125 = ∆ ADE - fixed fee
= 605-125 = 480

A work center uses kanban containers that hold 200 parts. To produce enough parts to fill a container, 60 minutes of setup plus run time are needed. Moving the container to the next workstation, waiting time, processing time at the next work station, and return of the empty container take 120 minutes. There is an overall demand rate of 10 units per minute. Calculate the number of containers needed for this process.
Answer:
9 containers
Explanation:
Data given
Container holds (capacity) = 200 units
Demand rate per minute = 10 units
The computation of number of containers needed is shown below:-
Time to fill container = Setup time + Processing time
= 60 + 120
= 180 minutes
Number of containers (n) = (Demand × Time to fill container) ÷ Capacity of the container
= (10 × 180) ÷ 200
= 1,800 ÷ 200
= 9 containers
Therefore for computing the number of containers we simply applied the above formula.
On June 30, 2021, Moran Corporation issued $13.5 million of its 8% bonds for $12.2 million. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. The bonds are dated June 30, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 2021?
Answer:
$70,000
Explanation:
Moran Corporation
Semiannual interest paid on 31 Dec 2021
= $13,500,000*8%*6/12
= $540,000
Therefore If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 2021 will be $70,000
Effective interest expense on 31 Dec.2021
= $12,200,000 * 10% * 6/12
= $610,000

At the beginning of 20D, Braga Company had office supplies inventory of $800. During 20D, the company purchased office supplies amounting to $2,500 (paid for in cash and debited to office supplies inventory). At December 31, 20D, the end of the accounting year, a count of office supplies still on hand reflected $500. The adjusting entry Braga Company will record on December 31, 20D to adjust the office supplies inventory account would include a A) debit to office supplies expense for $2,800. B) debit to office supplies inventory for $2,800. C) debit to supplies expense for $2,500. D) credit to office supplies inventory for $500.
Answer:
A) debit to office supplies expense for $2,800
Explanation:
When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.
The movement in the balance of supplies at the start and end of a period is as a result of usage and purchases. While usage reduces the balance in supplies, purchases increases the balance. This may be expressed mathematically as
Opening balance + purchases - units used = closing balance
Hence,
$800 + $2500 - amount used = $500
amount used up = $800 + $2500 - $500
= $2800
Assume there is a decrease in the market demand for a good sold by price-taking firms that are initially producing the profit-maximizing level of output. How will the market adjust over time? Firms will exit the market, causing price to fall until positive profits are eliminated. Firms will exit the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated. Firms will enter the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated. Firms will enter the market, causing price to fall until positive profits are eliminated.
Answer: Firms will exit the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated
Explanation:
When there is a decrease in demand in a Perfectly Competitive Market, firms will have to start producing at a lower Quantity to manage their Marginal cost. This leads to Economic losses on their part in the short run.
In the long run however, should the situation remain the same, the new price would be less than their Average Cost which would deepen Economic losses. Firms would respond by exiting the market in the long run.
As the firms exit, the supply curve shifts left as supply drops. This drop in supply leads to a price rise. The exits will continue until enough firms leave that the market's remaining firms will stop suffering economic losses.

Required:
a. Compute Berclair's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Answer:
Basic Earnings Per Share = $1,44
Diluted Earnings Per Share = $1,38
Explanation:
Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
Calculation of Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018, $1,050,000,000
Less cumulative preferred stock dividend ($45,000,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $1,005,000,000
Calculation of Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
1 January Outstanding Common Shares 560,000,000
March 1 - Purchases (10/12×168,000,000) 140,000,000
October 1 - Sold (3/12×4,000,0000) (1,000,000)
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares 699,000,000
Basic Earnings Per Share = $1,005,000,000/699,000,000
= $1,44
Diluted Earnings Per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
Calculation of Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares (Basic) 699,000,000
Incentive Stock Options 30,000,000
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares 729,000,000
Diluted Earnings Per Share = $1,005,000,000/ 729,000,000
= $1,38
In its first month of operations, Literacy for the Illiterate opened a new bookstore and bought merchandise in the following order: (1) 150 units at $7 on January 1, (2) 590 units at $8 on January 8, and (3) 890 units at $10 on January 29. M7-12 Calculating Cost of Goods Available for Sale, Cost of Goods Sold, and Ending Inventory under Periodic LIFO [LO 7-3] Assume 1,110 units are on hand at the end of the month, calculate the cost of goods available for sale, ending inventory, and cost of goods sold under the LIFO. Assume a periodic inventory system is used. (Round "Cost per Unit" to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
Goods available for sale = $14,670
Ending inventory = $9,470
Cost of goods sold = $5,200
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Total units purchased = 150 + 590 + 890 = 1,630
Ending inventory = 1,110
Sales units = 1,630 units - 1,110 units = 520 units
Goods available for sale = 150 × $7 + 590 × $8 + 890 × $10
= $14,670
Ending inventory = 150 × $7 + 590 × $8 + 370 × $10
= $9,470
Cost of goods sold = $14,670 - $9,470
= $5,200

Ahmed, a lawyer, sold his car to Carlos. Has an implied warranty of merchantability been created by this transaction? No, because Ahmed is not a merchant. Yes, because if the car is defective Carlos will have a right to return in to Ahmed. No, Ahmed has not implied so either orally or in written. Yes, because a car is "goods" and the Uniform Commercial Code applies to contracts for the sale of goods.
Answer:
A. No, because Ahmed is not a merchant.
Explanation:
Implied warranty of merchantability is a law in contract which states that when there is a transaction between a seller (the merchant), and a buyer, there is an unwritten guarantee from the seller, that the product meets up to the ordinary standards of care. This means that the goods must be fit to do what the merchant says it will do. Therefore, if the seller finds it defective, he could return it to the seller. and if the seller refuses to make a change, a legal case could be established. The merchant by law is a wholesaler or retailer, who sells goods in which he has expertise or special skills.
Ahmed in the question could be argued in court to not be a merchant of cars and as such, has no expertise with which he can make a guarantee for the car being sold to Carlos.
