Answer:
$121,200
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement
First step is to determine the Net sales
Sales $ 250,000
Less Sales Discounts ($1,500)
Less Sales Returns and Allowances ($2,300 )
Net sales $246,200
Now let determine the Gross profit using this formula
Gross profit=Net sales-Cost of Goods Sold
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit=$246,200-$125,000
Gross profit=$121,200
Therefore the gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement is $121,200

g Privett Company Accounts payable $33,411 Accounts receivable 66,433 Accrued liabilities 6,512 Cash 22,494 Intangible assets 37,191 Inventory 89,982 Long-term investments 110,819 Long-term liabilities 75,872 Marketable securities 34,976 Notes payable (short-term) 29,393 Property, plant, and equipment 671,232 Prepaid expenses 1,809 Based on the data for Privett Company, what is the quick ratio, rounded to one decimal point
Answer:
1.79
Explanation:
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory - Prepaid expenses) / Current liabilities
Quick ratio = (Account Receivable + Cash + Marketable securities) / (Account Payable + Accrued liabilities + Notes payable)
Quick ratio = (66,433 + 22,494 + 34,976) / (33,411 + 6,512 + 29,393)
Quick ratio = $123,903 / $69,316
Quick ratio = 1.78751
Quick ratio = 1.79

Galaxy Corp. is considering opening a new division to make iToys that it expects to sell at a price of $15,250 each in the first year of the project. The company expects the cost of producing each iToy to be $6,700 in the first year; however, it expects the selling price and cost per iToy to increase by 3.00% each year.
Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be_______ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be _______.
Which of the following statements about inflation’s effect on net present value (NPV) is correct?
A. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, forgetting to take inflation into account in a capital budgeting analysis will typically cause the estimated NPV to be lower than the true NPV.
B. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, you do not need to take inflation into account when performing a capital budgeting analysis
Answer:
Galaxy Corp.
1. Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be__$17,172___ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be ___$7,544___.
2. The CORRECT statement about inflation's effect on net present value (NPV) is:
B. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, you do not need to take inflation into account when performing a capital budgeting analysis.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected selling price of iToy = $15,250 per unit
Expected cost of producing iToy = $6,700 per unit
Expected annual increase in selling price and cost per iToy = 3.00%
The expected selling price in the fourth year of the project = $15,250 * (1 + 0.03)^4
= $17,172 ($15,250 * 1.126)
The expected cost per unit in the fourth year of the project = $7,544 (6,700 * 1.126)

Present value annuity factor 6.463 6.463
Present value factor for salvage 0.677
Present value of annuity $32,315 $29,782 ($22,621 + $7,500 - 339)
$22,782 = ($3,500 * 6.463 + $7,500 - ($500 * 0.677))
Benefit-cost ratio = $32,315/$29,782 = 1.1
Oakwood Inc. manufactures end tables, armchairs, and other wood furniture products from high-quality materials. The company uses a standard costing system and isolates variances as soon as possible. The purchasing manager is responsible for controlling direct material price variances, and production managers are responsible for controlling usage variances. During November, the following results were reported for the production of American Oak armchairs:
Units produced 1,670 armchairs
Direct materials purchased 18,500 board feet
Direct materials issued into production 17,250 board feet
Standard cost per unit
(22 board feet × $7.2) $158.4 per unit produced
Purchase price variance $2,620 unfavorable
Required:
a. Calculate the actual price paid per board foot purchased.
b. Calculate the standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced.
c. Calculate the direct materials usage variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
Oakwood Inc.
a) The actual price paid per board foot purchased is:
= $7.34
b) The standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced is:
= 36,740 board feet
c) The direct materials usage variance is:
= $140,328 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
i) Reported production of American Oak Armchairs:
Units produced = 1,670 armchairs
Direct materials purchased = 18,500 board feet
Direct materials issued into production = 17,250 board feet
ii) Standard cost per unit
(22 board feet × $7.2) $158.4 per unit produced
Purchase price variance $2,620
a) The actual price paid per board foot purchased
= Standard cost per board feet + (Purchase price variance/Quantity purchased)
= $7.20 + ($2,620/18,500)
= $7.20 + $0.14
= $7.34
b) The standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced
= 22 * 1,670
= 36,740 board feet
c) The direct materials usage variance = (Standard Qty - Actual Qty) * Standard price per board feet
= (36,740 - 17,250) * $7.20
= $140,328 F
When a sales representative wishes to sell an exempt security to an out of state customer, which statement is TRUE?
Answer: A. Both the broker-dealer and the registered representative must be registered in the state where the sale of the exempt security is going to be made
Explanation:
When a sales representative wishes to sell an exempt security to an out of state customer, it should be noted that both the broker-dealer and the registered representative must be registered in the state where the sale of the exempt security is going to be made.
It should be noted that when though the exempt securities aren't typically registered under the Federal law and the State law, the broker-dealers along with the sales employees must be registered unde the state law where the security is being offered.
A company wants to generate a forecast for unit demand for year 2018 using exponential smoothing. The actual demand in year 2017 was 120. The forecast demand in year 2017 was 110. Using this data and a smoothing constant alpha of 0.1. What is the resulting year 2018 forecast value?
Answer:
111
Explanation:
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = (Alpha*Actual demand in 2017) + ((1 - Alpha)*Forecast demand for 2017: Where Alpha = 0.1, Actual demand in 2017 = 120 and Forecast for 2017 = 110
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = (0.1 * 120) + ( (1 - 0.1) * 110)
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = (0.1 * 120) + (0.9 * 110)
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = 12 + 99
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = 111
If variances are recorded in the accounts at the time the manufacturing costs are incurred, what does a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represent?
Answer:
unfavorable variance
Explanation:
In such situation, a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represents
unfavorable variance. This is an accounting term that explains situations when the actual cost of the project is higher than the standard or projected cost.
It means that the actual price at which the materials are bought is higher than the standard price / budgeted price / estimated price and therefore, more amount has to be paid than expected.
The downward slope of the demand curve again illustrates the pattern that as _____________ rises, ______________ decreases.
Answer:
price; quantity demanded.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal.
According to the law of demand, there exist a negative relationship between the quantity of goods demanded and the price of a good i.e when the prices of goods and services in the market increases or rises: there would be a significant decline or fall in the demand for this goods and services.
This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
In conclusion, the downward slope of the demand curve again illustrates the pattern that as price of goods and services rises, quantity of goods and services demanded decreases.
Shin Corporation had a projected benefit obligation of $3,100,000 and plan assets of $3,300,000 at January 1, 2020. Shin also had a net actuarial loss of $465,000 in accumulated OCI at January 1, 2020. The average remaining service period of Shin's employees is 7.5 years. Compute Shin's minimum amortization of the actuarial loss.
Answer:
$18,000
Explanation:
Projected benefit obligation = $3,100,000
Plan assets = $3,300,000
Corridor amount = Plan assets * Corridor percentage
Corridor amount = $3,300,000 * 10%
Corridor amount = $330,000
Accumulated loss = $465,000
Excess loss subject to amortization = $465,000 - $330,000
Excess loss subject to amortization = $135,000
Amortized to pension expense = Excess loss subject to amortization / Average remaining service
Amortized to pension expense = $135,000 / 7.5 years
Amortized to pension expense = $18,000
BR Company has a contribution margin of 18%. Sales are $423,000, net operating income is $76,140, and average operating assets are $131,000. What is the company's return on investment (ROI)
Answer:
58.12%
Explanation:
Return on investment = Net operating income / Average operating assets
Return on investment = $76,140 / $131,000
Return on investment = 0.5812214
Return on investment = 58.12%
So, the company's return on investment (ROI) is 58.12%.

According to the numbers in the article Group of answer choices smoking among adults is elastic because the percent change in price is greater than the percentage change in quantity demanded. smoking among adults is inelastic because the percent change in price is greater than the percentage change in quantity demanded. none of the answers are correct. smoking among adults is elastic because the percent change in price is less than the percentage change in quantity demanded. smoking among adults is inelastic because the percent change in price is less than the percentage change in quantity demanded.
Answer:
According to the numbers in the article
smoking among adults is inelastic because the percent change in price is less than the percentage change in quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Inelasticity means that price changes do not affect the demand for smoking among adults. When the habits of consumers to smoke are not determined by the change in the price of the item, the demand is described as inelastic. In other words, a change in the price of the good or service does not generate a corresponding change in the quantity demanded. Inelasticity, as an economic term, states that the quantity demanded of a good or service remains static when there is a change in its price.

Suppose you had inside information that your employer was thinking about declaring bankruptcy, and you find out that a family member was about to purchase $20,000 in the stock of your employer. To what extent would it be unethical for you to dissuade the family member from making the investment
Answer: To the extent that Inside Information is not disclosed.
Explanation:
U.S. law prohibits people from being able to disclose inside information so if you pass on the information about the impending bankruptcy to a family member, you would be in violation of this law and if found out, will be punished accordingly.
If however, you advice your family member not to invest based on analysis of the company (of which you must keep detailed records of) using mosaic information which is public information, then you would not have used inside information so it would not be illegal.

Identify deficiencies in Wagner's participative budgetary policy for planning and performance evaluation purposes
Question Completion:
Behavioral Considerations and Budgeting Anthony Wagner, the controller in the Division of Transportation for the state, recognizes the im ance of the budgetary process for planning, control, and motivation purposes. He believes that properly implemented participative budgeting process for planning purposes and a management by exception reporting procedure based on that budget will motivate his subordinates to improve productivity within their particular departments. Based on this philosophy, Wagner has implemented the following budget procedures:
An appropriation target figure is given to each department manager. This amount is the maximum funding that each department can expect to receive in the next fiscal year Department managers develop their individual budgets within the following spending constraint as directed by the controller's staff:
1. Expenditure requests cannot exceed the appropriation target
2. All fixed expenditures should be included in the budget: these should include items such . . as contracts and salaries at current levels
3. All government projects directed by higher authority should be included in the budget in their entirety. The controller consolidates the departmental budget requests from the various departments into one budget that is to be submitted for the entire division. Upon final budget approval by the legislature, the controller's staff allocates the appropriation to the various departments on instructions from the division manager. However, a specified percentage of each department's appropriation is held back in anticipation of potential budget cuts and special funding needs. The amount and use of this contingency fund are left to the discretion of the division manager Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to appropriation level. However, as stated in the original directive, specific projects authorized b higher authority must remain intact. The final budget is used as the basis of control for a management by exception form of reporting. Excessive expenditures by account for each department are highlighted on a monthly basis. Department managers are expected to account for all expenditures over budget. Fiscal responsibility is an important factor in the overall performance evaluation of department managers .Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to operate within the reduced · Wagner believes that his policy of allowing the department managers to participate in the budget process and then holding them accountable for their performance is essential, e these times of limited resources.
Answer:
Deficiencies in Wagner's Participative Budgeting Policy
1. Fixed costs are not controllable by managers. This defeats, to a large extent, the idea of participative budgeting policy by Wagner as his departmental managers' performances are evaluated based on goals they have not set for themselves.
2. Wagner's participative budgetary policy allows him to revise some approved budgets arbitrarily without seeking the participation of divisional managers in the revision. This negatives the principle of participation.
Explanation:
An effective participating budgeting process ensures the utilization of specialist knowledge of the participants who are close to the daily operations of their departments. An effective process ensures the setting of more realistic and acceptable goals. A good participative budgetary policy wins managers' commitment, improves communication and accountability, and ensures group cohesiveness.

Belle Company buys land for $50,000 on 12/31/20. As of 3/31/21, the land has appreciated in value to $50,700. On 12/31/21, the land has an appraised value of $51,800. By what amount should the Land account be increased in 2021
Answer:
Belle Company
The amount that the Land account should be increased by is:
= $1,800.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of land bought on 12/31/20 = $50,000
Value of land on 3/31/21 = $50,700
Appraised value of land on 21/31/21 = $51,800
The amount that the Land account should be increased by is $1,800 ($51,800 - $50,000)
b) Land is always appraised by a professional appraiser who uses the value of similar property in the same location to determine the value. Appraisal helps to determine the value of the property, especially if it is being sold to another party or being used as collateral to obtain finance.
Perdue Company purchased equipment on October 1 for $55,060. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 7,600 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,860.

Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
$13,300 for each of the four years
Unit of output
$9800
$18900
$16100
$8400
double declining
27530
13765
6882.5
3441.25
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $55,060 - $1,860) / 4 = $13,300 each year
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
( $55,060 - $1,860) / 7600 = 7
year 1 = 7 x 1400 = 9800
year 2 = 7 x 2700 = $18900
year 3 = 7 x 2300 = $16100
year 4 = 7 x 1200 = $8400
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 0.5
Year 1 = $55,060 x 0.5 = 27530
book value = $55,060 - 27530 = 27530
year 2 = 27530 x 0.5 = 13765
book value = 27530 - 13765 = 13765
year 3 = 13765 x 0.5 = 6882.50
For which of the following random variables would the use of a Normal distribution as a model be a clear error?
a) The number of houses that an individual owns
b) The number of minutes that a battery lasts in a cell phone
c) Student test scores on an exam
d) The daily percentage change on a stock
Answer:
A. The number of houses that an individual owns
Explanation:
The use of normal distribution in option A would produce an error. That is the number of houses individuals own.
We know that people can own 1 house or more than 1 house or no house at all. But a person can never be said to have less than 0 houses.
Option a is going to be skewed positively. Using Normal distribution would give us an error.
In 2018, Caterpillar Inc. had about 595 million shares outstanding. Their book value was $23.00 per share, and the market price was $154.80 per share. The company's balance sheet shows that the company had $24.8 billion of long-term debt, which was currently selling near par value.
a. What was Caterpillar's book debt-to-value ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. What was its market debt-to-value ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 2 decimal places.)
c. Which measure should you use to calculate the company's cost of capital?
a. Book debt-to-value ratio
b. Markeet debt-to-value ratio
c. Measure
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
(a)-Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio
Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio is
= Debt ÷ [Debt + Book Value of Equity]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $23.00 per share)]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + $13.69 Billion]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ $38.49 Billion
= 0.64
(b)- Caterpillar’s market debt-to-value ratio
Caterpillar’s book Market debt-to-value ratio is
= Debt ÷ [Debt + Market Value of Equity]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $154.80 per share)]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + $92.11 Billion]
= $24.80 Billion ÷ $116.91 Billion
= 0.21
(c)-Best measure to determine the company’s cost of capital is the market value
A restaurant chain sponsors a charity that provides support to the parents of children being treated for cancer. How would the use of company funds for this purpose be justified by a business whose goal is to maximize profit
Answer: The money spent is worth the boost it gives to the corporate image
Explanation:

Since the restaurant chain sponsors a charity that provides support to the parents of children being treated for cancer, the use of the funds of the company will be justified when the money that's spent is worth the boost it gives to the corporate image.
