Answer:
The difference between the largest and smallest possible accumulated values of the deposit at the end of 2 years is $98
Explanation:
Annual effective rate of 12%
FV = PV * (1+i)^n
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.12)^2
FV = $1,000 * 1.2544
FV = $1,254.
Annual nominal rate of 12% compounded monthly
FV = PV * (1+i)^nm
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.01)2^12
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.01)^24
FV = $1,000 * 1.2697
FV = $1,270
Annual nominal rate of 8% compounded quarterly
FV = PV * (1+i)^nm
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.02)2*4
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.02)^8
FV = $1,000 * 1.171659
FV = $1,172
Annual nominal rate of 10% compounded semiannually
FV = PV * (1+i)^n
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.05)^2*2
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.05)^4
FV = $1,000 * 1.215506
FV = $1,216
So, the difference between the largest and smallest possible accumulated values is $98 ($1,270 - $1,172)

A market is in equilibrium when A. the government sets the price high enough so that all producers can make profits. B. the government sets the price low enough so that all consumers can afford to purchase as much of the product as they want. C. there is a surplus of the product. D. the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell. g
Answer:
D. the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell.
Explanation:
A market is in equilibrium when the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell.
Generally, a market is considered to be at equilibrium when the quantity of goods and services supplied by the producer is equal to the quantity of goods and services demanded by the consumers.
A direct opposite of this phenomenon is market failure. Market failure is when the market fails to produce the efficient level of output.
This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market. Thus, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy.
Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities etc.

During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated cost of goods sold
Answer:
a. $173,000
Explanation:
Missing word "Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000."
Percentage of profits Alpha charge to other customers = ($800,000 - $600,000) / $800,000 = 25% of sales
Stock held at year end by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $100,000 * 40% =$40,000
Profit involved in stock held by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $40,000 * 25% = $10,000
So, Value of stock of Beta = $88,000 - $10,000 = $78,000
Hence, Total for consolidated inventory = $95,000 + $78,000 = $173,000

Carpenters Company, a manufacturing company, acquired equipment on January 1, 2017 for $510,000. Estimated useful life of the equipment was seven years and the estimated residual value was $18,000. On January 1, 2020, after using the equipment for three years, the total estimated useful life has been revised to nine total years. Residual value remains unchanged. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2020.
Answer:
$31,238.10
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($510,000 - $18,000) / 7 = $70,285.71
Depreciation expense from 2017 to December 2019 would be = $70,285.71 x 3 = $210,857.14
Book value at the beginning of 2020 = $510,000 - $210,857.14 = $299,142.86
Depreciation expense from 2020 = ($299,142.86 - $18,000) / 9 = $31,238.10

A review of Parson Corporation's accounting records found that at a volume of 90,000 units, the variable and fixed cost per unit amounted to $8 and $4, respectively. On the basis of this information, what amount of total cost would Parson anticipate at a volume of 85,000 units
Answer:
Total cost= $1,040,000
Explanation:
For 90,000 units:
Unitary variable cost= $8
Unitary fixed cost= $4
First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost:
Total fixed cost= 4*90,000= $360,000
Now, we can determine the total cost for 85,000 units:
Total cost= 85,000*8 + 360,000
Total cost= $1,040,000

Answer: 22,038, 22,037, or 22,036
Explanation:
Taxable liability of Ryan is $22,154
Given:
Household and taxable income = $122,500
Find:
Taxable liability
Computation:
Household and taxable income of Ryan is $122,500
So,
Ryan falls [$84,201 - $160,700] tax range
So,
Taxable liability = 12,962 + (122,500 - 84200) × 24%
Taxable liability = 12,962 + (122,500 - 84200) × 0.24
Taxable liability = 12,962 + (38,300) × 0.24
Taxable liability = 12,962 + 9,192
Taxable liability = $22,154

= $160,000 × 130 ÷ 3200
=$6,500
Hence, the material cost assigned to Job 971 is $6,500
Therefore the correct option is c.
Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honorary fraternity, held a homecoming party. The fraternity expected attendance of 80 persons and prepared the following budget: Room rental .. $ 170 Food ....... 660 Entertainment .. 570 Decorations ... 210 Total ...... $1,610 After Beta Alpha Psi paid all the bills for the party, the total cost came to $1,885 or $275 over budget. Details are $170 for room rental; $875 for food; $570 for entertainment; and $270 for decorations. Ninety-six persons attended the party. 1. Prepare a performance report for the party that shows how actual costs differed from the budget. That is, include in your report the budgeted amounts, actual amounts, and variances. 2. Suppose the fraternity uses a management-by-exception rule. Which costs deserve further examination
Answer:
Beta Alpha Psi
1. Performance Report for the party:
Budget Actual Variance
Expected attendance (persons) 80 96 16
Room rental .. $ 170 $170 $0
Food ....... 660 875 $215 U
Entertainment .. 570 570 $0
Decorations ... 210 270 $60 U
Total ...... $1,610 $1,885 $275 U
2. The costs that deserve further examination are Food and Decorations. The party overspent on these items.
Explanation:
Since 96 persons attended the party, the food cost should have been = $792 ($660/80 * 96), which is the flexible budget cost. The cost of decorations should have remained $210 unless there were improper estimates of the items required for the decorations and the size of the party venue.
In 2019, Martin had two employers during the year. Both employers withheld Social Security tax from his wages in the amounts of $4,314.05 and $4,274.75. What amount can Martin claim as a credit against his income tax when he files his income tax return
Answer:
$1241.80
Explanation:
From the given information:
the social security taxes withheld by both employers are $4314.05 and $4274.75 respectively.
Let's recall that the maximum amount the IRS can also withhold from wages is $7347.00.
Therefore;
the required amount that can be claimed as a credit is:
= $4,314.05 + $4,274.75 - $7347.00
= $1241.80
Answer:
$349
Explanation:
1) 4,314.05 + 4,274.75 = 8,588.80
2) Social security withheld max: 132,900 * 6.2% = 8,239.80
3) 8,588.80 - 8,239.80 = 349
9. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 87,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 87,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $108 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 87,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units?
Answer: Financial disadvantage of -$863,000
Explanation:
If they made the 87 thousand units themselves, they would incur a cost of:
= 87,000 * (Direct labor + Direct materials + Variable manufacturing overhead) + Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead
= 87,000 * (23 + 24 + 22) + (23 * 110,000)
= 87,000 * 69 + 2,530,000
= $8,533,000
Traceable fixed costs are based on the total capacity of 110,000 units being produced and so will not change.
If they buy from the supplier, the cost would be:
= 108 * 87,000
= $9,396,000
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = 8,533,000 - 9,396,000
= -$863,000
Universal Manufacturing uses a weighted-average process-costing system. All materials are introduced at the start of manufacturing, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. The company's beginning and ending work-in-process inventories totaled 10,000 units and 15,000 units, respectively, with the latter units being 2/3 complete at the end of the period. Universal started 30,000 units into production and completed 25,000 units. Manufacturing costs follow.
Beginning work in process: Materials, $60,000; conversion cost, $150,000
Current costs: Materials, $180,000; conversion cost, $480,000
Universal's equivalent-unit cost for conversion cost is:____.
a. $4.50.
b. $6.00.
c. $8.00.
d. $9.60.
e. some other amount.
Answer: b. $6.00
Explanation:
Equivalent Cost Per Unit = Total Material Cost/Materials Equivalent Units
Materials Equivalent Units
= Opening inventory + Units completed + Ending inventory
= 10,000 + 25,000 + 5,000
= 40,000 units
Equivalent cost per unit = (Beginning WIP Materials + Current costs) / Materials EUP
= (60,000 + 180,000) / 40,000
= $6.00
Note: Ending materials inventory = Units started - Units completed
It is know that employees are the weakest link in the information security chain. How can companies deal with problems associated with the weakest link?
Answer:
the answer is below
Explanation:
The weakest links are those through whom hackers can gain access to the company's system security. The employees are considered the weakest links.
The company can deal with this problem by:
1. Training these employees on cyber security. The employees have to know what cyber security looks like and how not to fall victims.
2. The company can go further to create a new authentication system such as the multifactor authentication.
3. Employees should be made to know how harmful it could be to the company if they shared the company's security details with outsiders.
4. Employees should be refrained from downloading apps that are risky or leaving devices in the open. There should also be a judicial system where penalties would be awarded to defaulters
Consider the following yields to maturity on various one-year zero-coupon securities: Security: Treasury AAA Corporate BBB Corporate B Corporate Yield (%): 4.6 4.8 5.6 6.2 The price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of a one-year, zero-coupon, corporate bond with a BBB rating is closest to:
Answer:
94.70%
Explanation:
The computation of the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is given below:
= Price ÷ Face value × 100
= (Face value ÷ (1 + YTM)) ÷ Face value × 100
= ($1,000 ÷ (1 + 5.6%)) ÷ ($1,000) × 100
= $946.97 ÷ $1,000 × 100
= 94.70%
Hence, the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is 94.70%
Here we assume the face value be $1,000
On March 2nd, a fire destroyed the entire inventory stored in a warehouse for the Madison, Inc. The following information is available from the records of the company's periodic inventory system: Beginning inventory 1/01/2020 $989,000 Purchases through 3/02/2020 $784,329 Sales through 3/02/2020 $1,345,789 Gross Profit Ratio 33% Estimate the cost of the inventory destroyed by the fire using the Gross Profit Method.
Answer:
Madison, Inc.
The cost of the inventory destroyed by the fire using the Gross Profit Method is:
$871,650
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory 1/01/2020 = $989,000
Purchases through 3/02/2020 = $784,329
Sales through 3/02/2020 = $1,345,789
Gross Profit Ratio 33%
Gross profit = $444,110 ($1,345,789 * 33%)
Cost of goods sold = $901,679 ($1,345,789 - $444,110)
Cost of goods available for sale = $1,773,329 ($989,000 + $784,329)
Estimate of the cost of the inventory destroyed by the fire = cost of goods available for sale minus the cost of goods sold
= $871,650 ($1,773,329 - $901,679)
b) The estimate of the cost of the inventory destroyed by the fire is equal to the cost of the ending inventory. It is obtained by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the cost of goods available for sale for the period. The gross profit margin is the difference between the Sales Revenue and the Cost of goods sold. When expressed as a percentage of Sales Revenue, the resulting figure is called the gross profit margin ratio.
On January 1, 2020, Marigold Corp. purchased a machine costing $355000. The machine is in the MACRS 5-year recovery class for tax purposes and has an estimated $74000 salvage value at the end of its economic life. It's based on half year convention. Assuming the company uses the general MACRS approach, the amount of MACRS deduction for tax purposes for the year 2020 is
Answer:
$71,000
Explanation:
Note: The MARCS Table is attached below
Depreciation for 2020 = Cost*Rate%
Depreciation for 2020 = $355000*20%
Depreciation for 2020 = $71,000.
Note: MACRS depreciation disregards the salvage value and depreciates the asset to zero over the life of the asset.
