Answer:
$6.25 per yard
Explanation:
The computation of the standard price per yard of material for its safety suits is shown below:
Material quantity variance = Standard Price × (Actual quantity - Standard quantity)
-$5,000 = Standard price × (10,000 - 10,800)
Standard price = -$5,000 ÷ (-800)
= $6.25 per yard
Hence, the standard price per yard of material for its safety suits is $6.25 per yard

Economic goals for sustainable development can be formulated ________. Group of answer choices by disentangling them from social goals only if we include environmental and social goals in the planning only if there is a complete overlap with social and environmental goals on their own terms without reference to environmental goals only if we exclude environmental goals
Answer:
only if we include environmental and social goals in the planning.
Explanation:
An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.
Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.
Sustainable development can be defined as an idea or development model that is typically aimed at providing basic human needs such as food, fiber, textiles, etc., without compromising or jeopardizing the ability of future generations to create agricultural solutions to their own basic needs.
Generally, economic goals for sustainable development and growth of a country can be formulated only if environmental and social goals are included in the planning.
Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wanted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?
a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct
Answer:
Logan Horse Ranch
The most accurate is:
e. None of the above are correct
Explanation:
Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible. Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour. With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct. This leaves only option E as the most accurate.

a. Use the percentage of completion method and pro rate the loss over the entire term of the engagement
b. Restate the financial statements and recognize the loss in the earliest period of the engagement
c. Use the percentage of completion method to recognize the loss over the remaining term of the engagement.
d. Recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement
e. None of the above
Answer: D. Recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement
Explanation:
A fixed rate contract is the contract whereby the payment amount isn't dependent on the resources or the time that were used.
Since there's evidence that a fixed-rate contract is over budget and will generate a loss for the firm, the manager should recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Assuming purchase costs are rising, determine which of the statements below are correct regarding the cost of goods sold under FIFO, LIFO and weighted average cost flow methods.A. Companies using FIFO will report the highest gross profit and net income. B. Companies using FIFO will pay higher taxes than companies using LIFO, assuming all else
being equal. C. Weighted average cost of goods sold will be between FIFO and LIFO costs of goods sold. D. Companies using FIFO will report the smallest cost of goods sold.E. Companies using LIFO will report the smallest cost of goods sold.
Answer:
A
B
C
D
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
Weighted average cost method calculates the cost of goods sold as the weighted average of cost of inventory
In periods of rising prices, later purchased goods would have a higher price. As a result, LIFO would report a lower net income while companies using FIFO would report the highest gross profit and net income.
Because of the high net income reported under FIFO, tax paid would be the highest too

Answer: $251758.53
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question,
Total lease liability = $280,000
Then, the balance in the lease payable account when the first lease payment takes place on January 1, 2021 will be:
= $280,000 - $16,427
= $263573
The, the interest that is included in the lease payment that's made on April 1, 2021 Will be:
= $263573 x 7% x 1/4
= $4612.53
Then, the principal amount that's included in the lease payment made on April 1, 2021 will be:
= $16,427 - $4612.53
= $11814.47
Therefore, the balance in the lease payable account after the April 1, 2021, lease payment will be:
= $263573 - $11814.47

Record the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
Answer:
Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
Explanation:
In the attached excel file, we have:
Sales tax payable on sales for November Year 1 = $65,500 * 9% = $5,895
Sales tax payable on sales for December Year 1 = $79,500 * 9% = $7,155
Assets = $152,155
Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $7,155 + $145,000 = $152,155
Therefore, the accounting equation is proved as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
Suppose that a bank has $80 in checkable deposits, reserves of $15 , and a reserve requirement of 10%. Also assume that the the bank suffers a $6 deposit outflow. If the bank chooses to borrow from the Fed to meet its reserve requirement, then the bank would need to borrow $nothing . (Round your response to the nearest two decimal place.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount of borrowing that's required will be:
= [ rr * ( D - O)] - (R-O)
where,
rr = reserve requirement = 10% = 0.1
D = checkable deposits = $80
R = reserves = $15
O = deposits outflow = $6
= [ 0.10 × ($80 - $6)] - ($15 - $6)
= [ 0.10 × $74 ] - $9
= $7.4 - $9
= -$1.60

Politicalization of Accounting Standards
Some accountants have said that politicization in the development and acceptance of generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., rule-making) is taking place. Think about the term more broadly to mean the compromise that results when the bodies responsible for developing generally accepted accounting principles (FASB) are pressured by interest groups (SEC, American Accounting Association, businesses through their various organizations, Institute of Management Accountants, financial analysts, bankers, lawyers, and so on).
Required:
a. The Committee on Accounting Procedure of the AICPA was established in the mid to late 1930s and functioned until 1959, at which time the Accounting Principles Board came into existence. In 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board was formed, and the APB went out of existence. Do the reasons these groups were formed, their methods of operation while in existence, and the reasons for the demise of the first two indicate an increasing politicalization (as the term is used in the broad sense) of accounting standard setting? Explain.
b. What arguments can be raised to support the politicalization of accounting standard setting?
c. What arguments can be raised against the politicalization of accounting standard setting?
Answer: Some accountants have said that politicization in the development and acceptance of generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., rule-making) is taking place. Some use the term “politicization” in a narrow sense to mean the influence by governmental agencies, particularly the Securities and Exchange Commission, on the development of generally accepted accounting principles. Others use it more broadly to mean the compromise that results when the bodies responsible for developing generally accepted accounting principles are pressured by interest groups (SEC, American Accounting Association, businesses through their various organizations, Institute of Management Accountants, financial analysts, bankers, lawyers, and so on).

(b) What arguments can be raised to support the “politicization” of accounting rule-making?
(c) What arguments can be raised against the “politicization” of accounting rule-making?
Solution
a) CAP. The Committee on Accounting Procedure, CAP, which was in existence from 1939 to 1959, was a natural outgrowth of AICPA committees which were in existence during the period 1933 to 1938. The committee was formed in direct response to the criticism received by the accounting profession during the financial crisis of 1929 and the years thereafter. The authorization to issue pronouncements on matters of accounting principles and procedures was based on the belief that the AICPA had the responsibility to establish practices that would become generally accepted by the profession and by corporate management.

Calculation to determine how much he will receive If Parker Company uses a Money Market Hedge,
First step is to determine the amount borrowed
Borrowed=(SF100,000/1.05)
Borrowed= SF95,238
Second step is convert SF95,238 to dollar
SF 95,238*$1.0037
=$95,590.38
Now let determine the amount to receive
Amount received=$95,590.38*1.04
Amount received=$99,414
Therefore If Parker Company uses a Money Market Hedge, it will receive $99,414 in 360 days.
1000 par value 5 year bond with 8% semiannual coupons was boughtto yield 7.5% convertible semiannually. Determine the amount of premiumamortized in the six
Answer:
$2.08
Explanation:
First calculate the price of the bond
Price of the bond = [ ( 1000 x 8% x 6/12 ) x ( ( 1 - ( 1 + (7.5%x6/12) )^-(5x2) )/(7.5%x6/12) ] + { 1000 / (7.5%x6/12) ]
Price of the bond = $1,020.53
Now calculate the premium
Premium on the bond = Price of the bond - Face value of the bond = $1,020.53 - $1,000 = $20.53
Now prepare the amortization schedule to calculate the premium amortization in 6th payment.
The amortization schedule is attached with this answer please find that.
Hence, In the sixth payment the premium amortization is $2.08
Analysts estimate that a bond has a 40 percent probability of being priced at $950 and a 60 percent probability of being priced at $1,050 one year from today. The bond is also callable at any time at $1,010. What is the expected value of this bond in one year?
A) $1,000
B) $980
C) $1,010
D) $995
E) $986
Answer:
E) $986
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value of the bond in one year is shown below;
= (Probability × Price of bond) + (Probability × Callable price bond)
= (0.4 × $950) + (0.60 × $1,010)
= $986
Hence, the expected value of the bond in one year is $986
Therefore the correct option is E.
