Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = -1.08
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Quantity 1(Q1) = 22
Quantity 2(Q2) = 26
Price 1(P1) = $35
Price 2(P2) =$30
Price elasticity of demand = [(Q2-Q1) ÷ {(Q1 + Q2)} ÷ 2] ÷ [(P2-P1) ÷ {(P1 + P2)÷2}]
= [(26-22) ÷ {(22 + 26)} ÷ 2] ÷ [(30-35) ÷ {(35+ 30)÷2}]
=-(139 ÷ 128)
= -1.08
Final answer:
Using the midpoint formula, the price elasticity of demand for John Grisham mystery novels is calculated to be -1.08, indicating that demand is elastic. This means that sales of these novels are sensitive to price changes.
Explanation:
To calculate the price elasticity of demand for John Grisham mystery novels, we use the midpoint formula. The formula is (Q2 - Q1) / ((Q2 + Q1) / 2) divided by (P2 - P1) / ((P2 + P1) / 2), where Q1 and Q2 are the initial and final quantities sold, and P1 and P2 are the initial and final prices.
Initial scenario: 22 novels at $35 each. New scenario: 26 novels at $30 each. Using these values, the calculation is as follows:
Q2 - Q1 = 26 - 22 = 4P2 - P1 = $30 - $35 = -$5(Q2 + Q1) / 2 = (26 + 22) / 2 = 24(P2 + P1) / 2 = ($30 + $35) / 2 = $32.50The elasticity calculation then is (4 / 24) / (-5 / 32.5), which simplifies to -1.08.
The negative sign indicates that the demand decreases as the price increases, which is typical for most goods.
The absolute value of 1.08 indicates that the demand for John Grisham novels is elastic because it is greater than 1, meaning sales are sensitive to price changes.
Assume you have two investment opportunities that return the following cash flows: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Opportunity A $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 Opportunity B $150,000 Assume the opportunity cost rate is positive and the initial cost of the two investments is the same. True or False. You will be indifferent between Opportunity A and Opportunity B because each of the investments return the same total cash flows.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Opportunity A $50,000 $50,000 $50,000
Opportunity B $150,000
The basic premise of finances is that the value of money changes over time. In other words, one dollar today is worth more than one dollar tomorrow.
Since the discount rate is positive, we can assume 1%, then the present value of the net cash flows for the two projects would be:
Opportunity A = $50,000/1.01 + $50,000/1.01² + $50,000/1.01³ = $49,505 + $49,015 + $48,530 = $147,050
Opportunity B = $150,000/1.01³ = $145,589
So the net present value (NPV) of opportunity A will be higher than the NPV of opportunity B, therefore, the investor should choose opportunity A.
Becky had net sales (all on account) in 2020 of $8,000,000. At December 31, 2020, before adjusting entries, the balances in selected accounts were:
accounts receivable $1,000,000 debit, and allowance for doubtful accounts $2,000 debit.
Becky estimates that 3% of its accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible.
What is the net amount expected to be collected of the receivables reported on the financial statements at December 31, 2020?
Answer:
$970,000
Explanation:
Final answer:
To calculate the expected net collection of receivables, you subtract the adjusted allowance for doubtful accounts, which is estimated at 3% of accounts receivable, from the total accounts receivable. After adjusting the existing allowance balance, the net expected to be collected is $970,000.
Explanation:
The computation of the net amount expected to be collected involves estimating the uncollectible portion of accounts receivable. Becky's company uses an allowance method based on a percentage to account for doubtful accounts. First, we calculate the estimated amount that will not be collected.
To find the uncollectible amount, we take 3% of the accounts receivable balance:
0.03 × $1,000,000 = $30,000.
Next, we adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts. Since there is already a $2,000 debit, the additional amount needed to reach the estimated uncollectible amount of $30,000 will be:
$30,000 - $2,000 = $28,000. We would record this as a bad debt expense.
Finally, to determine the net amount expected to be collected, we subtract the adjusted allowance for doubtful accounts from the total accounts receivable :
$1,000,000 - $30,000 = $970,000.
Thus, Becky's company expects to collect a net amount of $970,000 from its receivables at the end of 2020.
On August 1, 2021, Trico Technologies, an aeronautic electronics company, borrows $21 million cash to expand operations. The loan is made by FirstBanc Corp. under a short-term line of credit arrangement. Trico signs a six-month, 9% promissory note. Interest is payable at maturity. FirstBanc Corp.’s year-end is December 31. Required: 1.-3. Record the necessary entries in the Journal Entry Worksheet below for FirstBanc Corp. Record the acceptance of note.
Answer:
On acceptance of note:
Debit Note receivable $21,000,000
Credit Cash $21,000,000
(Recognition of note receivable)
As at Dec 31:
Debit Interest receivable $787,500
Credit Interest revenue $787,500
(Recognition of interest accrual at Dec 31)
As at Feb 1 - collection of notes receivable:
Debit Cash $21,945,000
Credit Note receivable $21,000,000
Credit Interest receivable $945,000
(Collection of note receivable and interest)
Explanation:
Note is a promissory note with a written agreement made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, specific sum at a specified date.
Interest revenue on the note is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time
The total interest revenue is $21,000,000 x 9%/12 x 6 months = $945,000.
Monthly interest revenue is therefore $945,000 / 6 months = $157,500.
Total interest as at December 31, 2021 (Aug 1 - Dec 31): $157,500 x 5 months = $787,500.
You work for a bank as a business data analyst in the credit card risk-modeling department. Your bank recently conducted a bold experiment: over a short time interval three years ago, it quietly issued 600 credit cards to everyone who applied, regardless of their credit risk.
After three years, 150, or 25%, of card recipients defaulted – they failed to pay back at least some of the money they owed. However, the bank collected very valuable proprietary data that it can now use to optimize its future card-issuing process.
The bank initially collected six pieces of data about each person.
a. Age
b. Years at current employer
c. Years at current address
d. Income over the past year
e. Current credit card debt, and
f. Current automobile debt
Jack's Construction Co. has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par value. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 8.5 percent. The company also has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock has a beta of 1.1 and sells for $40 a share. The U.S. Treasury bill is yielding 4 percent and the market risk premium is 8 percent. Jack's tax rate is 35 percent. What is Jack's weighted average cost of capital?
Answer: 10.8%
Explanation:
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital we use the following formula,
WACC = Ve/Vt * Re + Vd/Vt * Rd( 1 - tax rate)
Where,
Ve is the value of equity in the company
Vt is the total value of the company gotten by adding debt to Equity.
Re is the cost of Equity
Vd is the total value of debt in the company
Rd is the cost of debt
From the question above we have every variable except the Cost of Equity.
We can calculate that using the CAPM formula which is,
Re = rF + b(rM - rF)
Where,
rF is the risk free rate
b is beta
rM - rF is the market premium.
Plugging in the figures we have,
= 4% + 1.1 ( 8%)
= 12.8%
Now that we have the cost of debt we can go back to the original formula but first the value of Equity and debt need to be ascertained,
Value of debt = 80,000 * $1,000 ( par value)
= $80,000,000
Value of Equity = 4,000,000 * 40
= $160,000,000
Adding them up we have,
= $160 m + $80m
= $240m
WACC = Ve/Vt * Re + Vd/Vt * Rd( 1 - tax rate)
WACC = (160/240 * 12.8%) + (80/240 * 8.5%( 1 - 0.35)
WACC = 10.8%
Jack's weighted average cost of capital is 10.8%.
1. In the past, Christopher Morrison’s tire dealership in Cincinnati sold an average of 3,200 tires every year. In the past 2 years, 900 and 1000, respectively, were sold in fall, 1500 and 1400 in winter, 400 and 350 in spring and 400 and 450. With a major expansion planned, Christopher forecasts sales next year to increase to 4,000 tires. What will be the demand during each of the FOUR seasons of next year?
Answer:
Explanation:
Seasonality = average of a season in the past two years/average per season
Average per year = 3200 tires
Average per season = 3200/4 = 800
Sales in Fall = 900 and 1000. Average sold in fall = (900 + 1000)/2 = 950
Sales in winter = 1500 and 1400. Average sold in winter = (1500 + 1400)/2 = 1450
Sales in spring = 400 and 350. Average sold in spring = (400 + 350)/2 = 375
Sales in Summer = 400 and 450. Average sold in Summer = (400 + 450)/2 = 425
Seasonality of Fall = average sold in fall/average per season = 950/800 = 1.1875
Seasonality of winter = 1450/800 = 1.8125
Seasonality of spring = 375/800 = 0.46875
Seasonality of summer = 425/800 = 0.53125
Sales next year = 4000 tires
Average per season = 1000 tires
Seasonal forecast = average per season * seasonality
Forecast for each season:
Fall: 1000×1.1875 = 1187.5 tires
Winter: 1000×1.8125 = 1812.5
Spring: 1000×0.46875 = 468.75
Summer: 1000×0.53125 = 531.25
Rounding off the forecast to whole numbers Fall will be 1188, Winter 1813 Spring 469 and Summer 531

The following standards have been established for a raw material used to make product O84: Standard quantity of the material per unit of output 7.7 meters Standard price of the material $ 18.50 per meter The following data pertain to a recent month's operations: Actual material purchased 4,000 meters Actual cost of material purchased $ 77,600 Actual material used in production 3,700 meters Actual output 560 units of product O84 The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. Required: a. What is the materials price variance for the month
Answer:
$3,330 unfavorable
Explanation:
Material price variance is the difference between the standard price and actual price at the actual quantity. It could be due to the changes in the prices as expected.
Actual cost per unit = Total cost / Material Purchases = $77,600 / 4,000 meter =
Formula for Material price variance is
Material Price Variance = ( Standard price - Actual price ) x Actual Quantity
Material Price Variance = ( $18.5 - $19.4 ) x 3,700
Material Price Variance = --$0.9 x 3,700
Material Price Variance = --$3,330 = $3,330 unfavorable
As the actual cost is more than the estimated / budgeted cost, the higher cost incurred means higher expenditure which is unfavorable for the company.
The growth rate of Zerbia, a small developing country, has fallen close to zero percent in the current year. Harry Miller and Jonathan Taylor, who are columnists with a business daily, are discussing suitable fiscal measures to revive economic growth in the country. Jonathan feels that the income tax rates in Zerbia are too high. Lower income tax rates would increase consumer spending and so would promote economic growth. Harry, on the other hand, believes that an increase in government expenditure would have a substantial impact on the country's GDP. Additionally, he feels that investing in green technology would not only accelerate growth, it is also likely to be more sustainable in the long term. Which of the following can most reasonably be inferred from the information given above?
A. Private investment in green technology industries in Zerbia has been negligible.
B. Jonathan believes that the tax structure is not progressive enough.
C. Harry thinks that the value of the government purchases multiplier is high.
D. The economy of Zerbia is in a recession.
E. Increase in government investment in infrastructure is likely to result in a higher
budget deficit than the policy measure suggested by Jonathan.
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Clearly placed, the right response is obvious through the sentence 'Harry assumes, on the another side, that any improvement in governmental expenditures will have a huge effect on GDP.' Comparison is made with the result with utilizing the economic management instrument, that is, budget expenditures and taxation.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is C.
A company mn this sampling method, we have a listing of our entire population of interest. So we create a rule for selecting people out of this population based on this list (like choosing every 15th person or so). As a result we randomly select individuals to try and get a representative sample of our population of interest. Which sampling method is this?ay market to its employees in the service industry because they know that its employees are responsible for _______________ with customers.
Answer: 1. Systematic Sampling
2. b. keeping promises
Explanation:
1. Systematic Sampling is a method of sampling that works by creating a sample from a population by using a set interval to pick. For example, every 15th person is picked. This number 15 is usually arrived at by dividing the population by the sample size needed for the research. For example if 5 people are needed from 75, you divide 75/5 to get 15. Every 15th person is then picked. This is not unlike the scenario described in the question.
2. Keeping promises
When a company markets to their employees first, they try to sell it to them on its benefits and advantages and how it generally works. The effect of this is that the employees go out to try to sell a product that they believe works. This is important because Employees are the ones that customers expect to keep the promise and will come back to it things don't work out.
Auto Parts is considering a merger with Car Parts. Car Parts market-determined beta is 0.9, and the firm currently is financed with 20% debt, at an interest rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 25%. If Auto Parts acquires Workman, it will increase the debt to 60%, at an interest rate of 9%, and the tax rate will increase to 35%. The risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 4%. What will Car Parts required rate of return on equity be after it is acquired?
Answer: 9.7%
Explanation:
Given Data
Rf = Risk free return = 6%,
Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,
Beta = 0.9
Wd = Debt = 20%
rd = cost of debt = 8%
We = equity = 80%
Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)
= 0.06 +0.9 (0.04)
= 0.096 * 100
= 9.6%
Unlevered Equity Cost ;
ReU= Wd × rd + We × re
= 0.20 × 8% + 0.80 × 9.6%
= 9.28%
Levered Equity Cost:
New Debt = 60%,
New Equity = 40%,
New rd = 9%
ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)
= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)
= 0.097 * 100

A company paid $517,000 to purchase equipment and $16,700 to have the equipment delivered to and installed in the company's production facilities. The equipment is expected to be used a total of 29,700 hours throughout its estimated useful life of seven years. The estimated residual value of the equipment is $6,700. The company began using the equipment on May 1, 2018. The company has an October 31, 2018 year-end. It used the equipment for a total of 12,900 hours between May 1 and October 31, 2018. Using the units-of-production method, what amount of depreciation expense would the company report in the income statement prepared for the year-ended October 31, 2018?
Answer:
Using the units-of-production method, the amount of depreciation expense would the company report in the income statement prepared for the year-ended October 31, 2018 = $ 228899
Explanation:
Given
Acquisition Cost of Equipment = $ 517,000+ $ 16700= $ 533,700
Total units of production= 29,700 hours
Residual Value = $ 6700
Units of Production= 12,900 hours
Formula:
Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production* Units of Production
Depreciation per unit= ($ 533,700 - 6700/ 29700)*12900
Depreciation per unit=($ 52,7000 / 29700)*12900
Depreciation per unit=( 17.744)*12900
Depreciation per unit= 228898.98= $ 228899
As units of production are given we do not need to calculate it for half year. The depreciation is calculated for units of production.
One of the largest losses in history from unauthorized securities trading involved a securities trader for the French bank, Societe Generale (SCGLY). The trader was able to circumvent internal controls and create more than $7 billion in trading losses in six months. The trader apparently escaped detection by using knowledge of the bank's internal control systems learned from a previous back-office monitoring job. Much of this monitoring involved the use of software to monitor trades. In addition, traders were usually kept to tight trading limits. Apparently, these controls failed in this case. Answer the following True or False questions about Societe Generale's internal controls. These will assist you in determining the weaknesses. 1. The loss could have been avoided with a number of internal controls. 2. Required vacation time may have alerted managers to the hidden losses. 3. If traders have access to the monitoring software, then the separation of duties control is violated. 4. The trader was not under managerial oversight.
Answer: 1.true, 2.true , 3.true, 4.true
Explanation:
The Societe Generale trading losses is an eye opener that shows how poor management of the internal control can lead to huge consequences and loses.
The accumulated losses could have been avoided with proper segregation of duties in the internal controls with supervisors relating with the traders regarding their trades which would not have allowed the trader,Kerviel to manipulate the monitoring software due to his extensive knowledge from his previous job. If traders have free access to the monitoring software, then the separation of duties control is violated.
---Also, If the trader had an required vacation time, he would have been vacant in his duties and maybe enabling detection of fraud by management although we cannot conclude he had note gone for his vacation and returned before perpetuating the act
---In addition if the trader was able to fraud the company over a span of 7 months then there , then he was not under managerial oversight else he would have been caught and his acts rectified on time.
1. The loss could have been avoided with a number of internal controls.---TrUe
2.. Required vacation time may have alerted managers to the hidden losses
3. If traders have access to the monitoring software, then the separation of duties control is violated---TrUe
4. The trader was not under managerial oversight-- true

Orton Corporation, which has a calendar year accounting period, purchased a new machine for $40,000 on April 1, 2006. At that time Orton expected to use the machine for nine years and then sell it for $4,000. The machine was sold for $22,000 on Sept. 30, 2011. Assuming straight-line depreciation, no depreciation in the year of acquisition, and a full year of depreciation in the year of retirement, the gain to be recognized at the time of sale would be
To calculate the gain or loss to be recognized at the time of sale, subtract the accumulated depreciation from the selling price. In this case, there is a loss of $6,888.89 to be recognized.
Explanation:To calculate the gain to be recognized at the time of sale, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation for the machine and compare it to the selling price. The machine was purchased for $40,000 and had an expected useful life of 9 years, so the annual depreciation expense would be $40,000 / 9 = $4,444.44.
Since the machine was sold on September 30, 2011, after 6.5 years (April 1, 2006, to September 30, 2011), the accumulated depreciation would be $4,444.44 * 6.5 = $28,888.89.
The gain to be recognized at the time of sale can be calculated by subtracting the accumulated depreciation from the selling price: $22,000 - $28,888.89 = -$6,888.89. Since the result is negative, it means that there is a loss of $6,888.89 to be recognized at the time of sale.
9. Problems and Applications Q9 Purchasing-power parity holds between the nations of Ectenia and Wiknam, where the only commodity is Spam. In 2015, a can of Spam cost 4 dollars in Ectenia and 24 pesos in Wiknam. The exchange rate between Ectenian dollars and Wiknamian pesos was pesos per dollar. Over the next 14 years, inflation is expected to be 5 percent per year in Ectenia and 10 percent per year in Wiknam. If this inflation comes to pass, what will happen over this period to the price of Spam and the exchange rate? Over this period, the price of Spam in Ectenia will , and the price of Spam in Wiknam will . (Hint: Recall the rule of 70 from Chapter 27.) The exchange rate between the two countries will .
Answer:
In this case, one dollar is worth three pesos.9
Explanation:
Base on the scenario been described in the question, the exchange rate between the two countries will be gotten as follows
Since the purchasing-power parity (PPP) normally holds, the exchange rate will be (2/6) = 1/3dollars/peso. That is, one peso will buy you one third of a dollar. Alternatively,we can write this as (6/2) = 3 pesos/dollar. In this case, one dollar is worth three pesos.9
According to the principle of purchasing power parity, the price of Spam will increase in both Ectenia and Wiknam due to inflation. The exchange rate is expected to shift in favor of Ectenian dollars.
Explanation:According to the principle of purchasing power parity (PPP), the price of goods should be equalized between countries. Given the inflation rates in Ectenia and Wiknam, the price of Spam in Ectenia will increase over the 14-year period. The inflation rate in Wiknam is higher, so the price of Spam in Wiknam will increase even more.
The exchange rate between the two countries will depend on the relative inflation rates. As inflation erodes the purchasing power of a currency, the exchange rate will change. In this case, the exchange rate is expected to shift in favor of Ectenian dollars as the inflation rate is lower compared to Wiknamian pesos.

There are 119000 shares of no-par 6% preferred stock with a stated value of $5.
That means preferred shares are liable to the following amount of dividends,
= 119,000 * 5 * 6%
= $35,700
Preferred Shares have not being paid for the past 2 years and need to be paid in the current year as well. That means 3 payments,
= 35,700 * 3
= $107,100
Preferred Shares are to be paid $107,100 out of the $215,000 with the rest going to common shares.
Amount going to Common Shares is,
= 215,000 - 107,100
= $107,900
Common Stockholders are to receive $107,900

Sanchez Company has 48,000 shares of 7% preferred stock of $100 par and 92,000 shares of $50 par common stock issued and outstanding. The following amounts were distributed as dividends: Year 1 $497,000 Year 2 $490,000 Year 3 $524,000 Determine the dividends per share for preferred and common stock for each year. Round the dividends per share to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
The following parameters are given for dividends of three years;
Year 1 = $497,000, Year 2 = $490,000 Year 3 = $524,000.
The number of shares= 48,000 of 7%, preferred stock = $100 par and 92,000 shares of $50 par common stock issued and outstanding.
Therefore,
Year one:
=> Amount Distributed = $497,000.
=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.
=> Common dividend = 497,000 - 336,000 = 161,000.
=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $ 7.
=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 161,000/ 92,000 shares =$ 1.75.
Year Two:
=> Amount Distributed = $490,000.
=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.
=> Common dividend = 490,000 - 336,000 = 113,000.
=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $ 7.
=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 113,000/ 92,000 shares =$1.23.
Year Three:
=> Amount Distributed = $524,000.
=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.
=> Common dividend = $524,000 - 336,000 = 188,000.
=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $7.
=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 188,000/ 92,000 shares =$2.04
Yem expects to produce 1 comma 750 units in January and 2 comma 120 units in February. The company budgets 5 pounds per unit of direct materials at a cost of $ 45 per pound. Indirect materials are insignificant and not considered for budgeting purposes. The balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account (all direct materials) on January 1 is 5 comma 300 pounds. Yem desires the ending balance in Raw Materials Inventory to be 40% of the next month's direct materials needed for production. Desired ending balance for February is 4 comma 000 pounds. Prepare Yem's direct materials budget for January and February.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
January= 1,750 units
February= 2,120 units
The company budgets 5 pounds per unit of direct materials at a cost of $ 45 per pound.
Beginning inventory= 5,300 pounds.
Desired ending inventory= 40% of the next month's direct materials needed for production.
The desired ending balance for February is 4,000 pounds.
The purchases of direct material are calculated using the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
January (in pounds):
Production= 1,750*5= 8,750
Desired ending inventory= (2,120*5)*0.4= 4,240
Beginning inventory= (5,300)
Total purchase= 7,690 pounds
Total cost= 7,690*45= $346,050
February (in pounds):
Production= 2,120*5= 10,600
Desired ending inventory= 4,000
Beginning inventory= (4,240)
Total purchase= 10,360 pounds
Total cost= 10,360*45= $466,200

Rishi, a protectionist, has seen several small businesses go bankrupt because they were unable to compete with the cheaper prices of goods provided by foreign companies. The cell-phone manufacturing industry has just started in the United Kingdom, and Rishi's company is one of the first to try its hand at cell-phone manufacturing. What argument is most likely to be used by Rishi to persuade his government to restrict the import of foreign cell phones from foreign companies?
Answer:
Key infant industries must be protected, specially those that operate with new technologies.
Explanation:
It takes time for infant industries to develop certain comparative advantages that allows them to compete against foreign firms. While they are developing their own comparative advantages, infant industries can easily go out of business due to foreign competitors that have been around for much longer.
In order to achieve competitive prices, infant industries must first achieve economies of scale. While foreign firms are already able to offer low prices because they are able to produce with lower costs.
Final answer:
Rishi would likely argue for the use of the infant industry argument as a way to temporarily protect the U.K.'s emerging cell-phone manufacturing industry, enabling it to develop the necessary qualities to compete globally.
Explanation:
Rishi, as a protectionist concerned about the survival and growth of a new domestic industry, is most likely to use the infant industry argument to persuade his government to restrict the import of foreign cell phones. This argument suggests that by temporarily blocking foreign competition, the U.K.'s nascent cell-phone manufacturing industry can have the necessary time to develop and reach a level of skill, management, technology, and economies of scale to be competitive globally. Therefore, Rishi would advocate for a policy of protectionism to serve as a short-term indirect subsidy, allowing the industry time to grow and eventually compete on equal terms without ongoing dependence on government support.

Explanation:
Sheridan Company Journal entry
Dr Cash 285,600
Cr Bonds payable 280,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 5,600
Par value of bonds ×Issue price of bonds
= $280,000 x 102%
=$280,000×1.02
= $285,600
Final answer:
The question relates to recording the journal entry for bonds sold over face value. Sheridan Company's journal entry for issuing $280,000, 20-year, 10% bonds at 102 would involve debiting Cash for $285,600, crediting Bonds Payable for $280,000, and crediting Premium on Bonds Payable for $5,600.
Explanation:
The subject of the student's question relates to corporate finance, specifically the issuance of bonds and the recording of such a transaction in the accounting records, which is a fundamental aspect of business finance. When Sheridan Company issues $280,000, 20-year, 10% bonds at 102, they are selling the bonds for more than their face value (par value). The journal entry to record this sale would involve debiting Cash for the proceeds received, crediting Bonds Payable for the face value of the bonds, and crediting Premium on Bonds Payable for the excess over the face value.
Journal Entry:
Cash (280,000 * 1.02) = $285,600 [Debit]Bonds Payable = $280,000 [Credit]Premium on Bonds Payable (285,600 - 280,000) = $5,600 [Credit]Thus, the journal entry on June 1, 2022, to record the sale of these bonds would be:
Debit Cash $285,600
Credit Bonds Payable $280,000
Credit Premium on Bonds Payable $5,600
A firm undertakes a five-year project that requires an initial capital investment of $100,000. The project is then expected to provide cash flow of $12,000 per year for the first two years, $50,000 in the third and fourth years, and $10,000 in the fifth year. The project has an end-of-life salvage value of $5,000. If the discount rate applied to these cash flows is 9.50 percent, to the nearest dollar, the net present value of this project is _____
Answer:
$3.356.86
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = -$100,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $12,000
Cash flow in year 3 and 4 = $50,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $10,000 + $5,000 = $15,000
I = 9.50%
NPV = $3.356.86
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

g At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead for the year was estimated to be $1,033,125. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 36,390 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $972,000, and manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $65,115. If the predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours, then the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been:
Answer:
36,250 direct labor-hours
Explanation:
a. Underapplied (overapplied) manufacturing overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead - Manufacturing overhead applied
- $65,115 = $972,000 - Manufacturing overhead applied
Manufacturing overhead applied = $972,000 + $65,115 = $1,037,115
b. Manufacturing overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual direct labor-hours
Therefore, we have:
Predetermined overhead rate = Manufacturing overhead applied ÷ Actual direct labor-hours = $1,037,115 ÷ 36,390 = $28.50 per direct labor-hour
c. Estimated direct labor-hours = Estimated total manufacturing overhead ÷ Predetermined overhead rate = $1,033,125 ÷ $28.50 = 36,250 direct labor-hours
Therefore, the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been 36,250 direct labor-hours.
George Manufacturing had net income of $ 300 comma 000 and declared preferred dividends of $ 20 comma 000 during the current year. George began the year with 14 comma 000 common shares outstanding. It issued 40 comma 000 shares on June 30 and repurchased 6 comma 000 of the newly issued shares on November 1. Compute George's weightedminusaverage common shares outstanding for the year.
Answer:
33,000 shares
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted - average common shares outstanding is shown below:
= Outstanding common shares + Issued shares × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year - repurchased shares × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year
= 14,000 shares + 40,000 shares × 6 months ÷ 12 months - 6,000 shares × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= 14,000 shares + 20,000 shares - 1,000 shares
= 33,000 shares
Cypress Corporation, a calendar year end corporation, has an AMT credit carryforward from 2018 (the credit arose in 2017) in the amount of $43,000. In 2019, Cypress has $170,000 of taxable income. What is the amount of refund Cypress can expect to receive from its 2019 tax return filing?
Answer: $3,650
Explanation:
Alternative Minimum Tax ( AMT) can be used to lower the amount of taxes payable.
It is created when the tax payable is lower than AMT, it is carried forward and can reduce taxes Payable in future by the amount of the AMT credit.
The current AMT cycle of 2017 - 2022 allows for AMT credit to be refunded up to 50% of the excess of AMT credit over the normal tax liability with 100% being allowed in 2021.
The US corporate tax rate for 2019 is 21%.
Taxable Income = $170,000
Tax liability for 2019 = $170,000*21%
=$35,700
With a current tax liability of $35,700 being less than the AMT of $43,000, AMT will offset it.
Solving for yhe excess AMT Credit we have,
Excess AMT credit = AMT credit carryforward - Tax liability in 2019
= 43,000 - 35,700
= $7,300
The AMT Credit refunded can be calculated as,
AMT credit refunded = 50%*Excess AMT credit
= 50%*7,300
= $3,650
$3,650 is the amount of refund Cypress can expect to receive from its 2019 tax return filing.
Giada Foods reported $1,010 million in income before income taxes for 2021, its first year of operations. Tax depreciation exceeds depreciation for financial reporting purposes by $170 million. The company also had non-tax-deductible expenses of $108 million relating to permanent differences. The income tax rate for 2021 was 25%, but the enacted rate for years after 2021 is 30%. The balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet is:
Answer:
$32.4 million
Explanation:
The computation of the balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet is shown below:
Deferred tax liability is
= Tax depreciation exceeded depreciation for financial reporting purposes × enacted tax rate
= $108 million × 30%
= $32.4 million
Simply we multiplied the exceeded amount with the enacted rate so that the deferred tax liability could come
