Suppose you have two friends who have the same underlying ability, took the same courses in college, and have the same GPA. One of them decides to go to a business school for an MBA, while the other one chooses to pursue a PhD in English literature. Given that the expected earnings of an MBA are much higher than the expected earnings of an English PhD, is one of your friends being irrational?
Answer:
Rational is based on the logical preference. Being irrational does not means that the choice is made based on monetary preference. It is more logical than monetary.
Explanation:
The two friends took same courses in college but after the completion of college degree one decides to go for MBA and other pursues PhD in English. The expected earnings of MBA are higher than PhD but one of friend who chooses the PhD has not considered the logical decision making based on money. He might have chose the PhD because he is more interested in becoming a professor rather than a business professional.

Marge owns land and a building (held for investment) with an adjusted basis of $75,000 and a fair market value of $250,000. The property is subject to a mortgage of $400,000. Because Marge is in arrears on the mortgage payments, the creditor is willing to accept the property in return for canceling the amount of the mortgage.
a. How can the adjusted basis of the property be less than the amount of the mortgage?
b. If the creditor's offer is accepted, what are the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for Marge?
c. Does it matter in (b) if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse?

Decrease in the value of the property after they granted the mortgage
Bi $400,000
ii. $75,000
iii. $325,000
C.No
Explanation:
a. The adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage due to the fact that in the beginning of an asset life the amount that was deducted for Depreciation may be more higher than the amortized amount of the mortgage principal .
Secondly the adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage when their is Decrease in the value of the property after they granted the mortgage .
Lastly the adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage when the fair market value of Property are been given instead of the Adjusted basis of the property.
b. Calculation for the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for
i. Based on the information given the amount that was realized will be the amount of $400,000
ii. Based on the information given the Adjusted basis will be the amount of $75,000
iii. Realized gain=$400,000 − $75,000
Realized gain= $325,000
c.No it don't not matter if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse since the amount that was realized was the amount of $400,000 and
to justify the nonrecourse mortgage is that the taxpayer has already enjoy some benefit when the mortgage was acquired due to the increase in Adjusted basis of the property.
postretirement health care benefit plan. On January 1 of the current calendar year, the following plan-related data were available. Net loss-postretirement benefit plan $ 222,000 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ 2,100,000 Fair value of plan assets $ 440,000 Average remaining service period to retirement 12 years Average remaining service period to full eligibility 10 years The rate of return on plan assets during the year was 12%. The expected return was 10%. The actuary revised assumptions regarding the APBO at the end of the year, resulting in a $32,000 increase in the estimate of the obligation. Required: 1. Calculate any amortization of net loss that should be included as a component of postretirement benefit expense for the current year. 2. Determine the net loss or gain as of December 31 of the current year.
Answer:
1. Amortization of net loss = $1000
2. Ending Net Loss: $244,200
Explanation:
Data Given:
Net Loss Post Retirement Benefit Plan = $222,000
Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000
Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000
Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years
Average Remaining Service period to full eligibility = 10 years
Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%
Expected Return = 10%
Estimate in the obligation = $32,000
Required:
1. Amortization of net loss
Solution:
For Amortization of net loss, we need to have the value of excess at the beginning of the year and average remaining service years.
So,
Net loss = $222,000
And
Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000
Expected Return = 10%
So,
Find 10% of the Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation
$2,100,000 x 10% = $210,000
Now, for excess at the beginning of the year:
$222,000 - $210,000
excess at the beginning of the year = $12,000
And we know that,
Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years
Amortization of net loss = $12,000/12 years
Amortization of net loss = $1000
2. Net loss or gain at the end of the year.
Solution:
We know the beginning net loss = $222,000
Estimate in the obligation = $32,000
Now, we need to find the excess actual return over expected return:
Amortization of net loss = $1000
Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000
Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%
Expected Return = 10%
excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (12% - 10%)
excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (2%)
excess actual return over expected return: $8,800
Now,
For the Ending Net Loss:
(beginning net loss + Estimate in the obligation - excess actual return over expected return - Amortization of net loss)
$222,000 + $32,000 -$8,800 - $1000 = $244,200
Ending Net Loss: $244,200

D. $256,000
E. $2,520,000
F. $120,000
Explanation:
a. Calculation for What is the sales activity variance for the basic model
Sales activity variance=(7,000 - 8,000) *($8,000 - $6,400)
Sales activity variance=$1,000*$600
Sales activity variance= $1,600,000
Therefore Sales activity variance for the basic model will be $1,600,000
b. The sales activity variance for the basic model is UNFAVORABLE reason been that the sales amount is lesser than the budgeted amount
Calculation for What is the sales activity variance for the deluxe model
Sales activity variance=(2,800 - 2,000) *($12,000 - $9,000)
Sales activity variance=800*3,000
Sales activity variance= $2,400,000
Therefore the sales activity variance for the deluxe model will be $2,400,000
c. Calculation for What is the sales mix variance for the basic model
Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 8,000/10,000 *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($8,000 - $6,400)
Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 80% *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($8,000 - $6,400)
Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 80% *(9,800)] *($1,600)
Sales mix variance=[7,000 -7,840 ] *($1,600)
Sales mix variance=840*$1,600
Sales mix variance= $1,344,000
Therefore the sales mix variance for the basic model will be $1,344,000
d. Calculation for What is the sales quantity variance for the basic model
Sales quantity variance=(9,800 - 10,000) x (8,000/10,000) x ($8,000 - $6,400)
Sales quantity variance= $256,000
Therefore the sales quantity variance for the basic model will be $256,000
e. Calculation for What is the sales mix variance for the deluxe model based
Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 2,000/10,000 *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($12,000 - $9,000)
Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 20% *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($12,000 - $9,000)
Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 20% *(9,800)] *($3,000)
Sales mix variance=[2,800 -1,960 ] *($3,000)
Sales mix variance=840*$3,000
Sales mix variance= $2,520,000
Therefore the sales mix variance for the deluxe model based will be $2,520,000
f. Calculation for What is the sales quantity variance for the deluxe model
Sales quantity variance=(9,800 - 10,000) x (2,000/10,000) x ($12,000 - $9,000)
Sales quantity variance= $120,000
Therefore the sales quantity variance for the deluxe model will be $120,000

A. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts.
B. Determine the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense.
C. Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
Answer:
a. Amount of bad debts = Sales * (Bad debts %) = $51,850,000 * 0.25% = $129,625. Thus, the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts is $129,625.
b. The adjusted balances are as follow
Accounts Receivable $2,150,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $119,125 (129,625 - 10,500)
Bad Debt Expense $129,625
c. Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Balance of accounts receivables - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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

Number of Units 6,000 7,000 3,000 4,000
Expected Cost
Overhead ? ? ? ?
Direct Cost ? ? ? ?
Total Cost
Cost per unit ? ? ? ?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for the period:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (80,000*4) / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $16 per unit
Now, we can allocate overhead to each month:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
January= 6,000*16= $96,000
February= 7,000*16= $112,000
March= 3,000*16= $48,000
April= 4,000*16= $64,000
The total unitary manufacturing costs are constant:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= 12 + 16
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $28
If you deposit $5,000 4 years from today, how much can you withdraw 10 years from today if interest is 6 percent per year compounded annually?
Answer:
the future value is $7,093
Explanation:
The computation of the future value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $5,000 × (1 + 0.06)^6
= $5,000 × 1.06^6
= $7,093
Hence, the future value is $7,093

Assume that price level in the ABC Islands, a U.S. trading partner, increases signaling inflation in the ABC Island economy.
Using aggregate demand aggregate supply analysis, explain the impact of the increased price level on the United States economy. If the Federal Reserve wants to repair the effects on the U.S. economy noted above, identify a policy action it might undertake.Explain the impact of the Fed action on each of the following:
a. Output
b. Price level
c. The international value of the U.S. dollar
Answer is given below :
Explanation:
Inflation on ABC Island makes goods produced by ABC Island more expensive and makes goods made in the US cheaper. Thus the demand for goods made in the US will increase, the US export demand will increase, thereby the US net exports will increase and the US total demand will increase. The AD curve increases the real, shift price level and real GDP in the US economy. The unemployment rate will fall and demand for the US dollar will rise, causing the dollar to appreciate.In the following graph, the initial equilibrium is at point A, where AD0 (total demand) and SRAS0 (low-run total supply) intersection curves, equilibrium price levels P0 and true GDP Y0. As total demand increases, AD0 shifts to the right of AD1, blocking SRAS0 at point B with high P1 and high true GDP Y1. high total demand leads to inflation, the Fed wants to reduce inflation by reducing total demand. This can be done by using a contract monetary policy, by raising the required monetary ratio, by raising the discount rate, or by selling federal securities on the open market. Any of these tools will reduce the money supply, thereby increasing interest rates, reducing investment and reducing total demand. As a result,Output will decrease.Price will decrease.Low production reduces US import demand, thereby reducing foreign exchange demand. Foreign currency depreciation and the US dollar are appreciated.On February 12, Goal Publishing, Inc., purchased the copyright to a book for $15,000 and agreed to pay royalties equal to 10% of book sales, with a guaranteed minimum royalty of $60,000. Goal had book sales of $750,000 during the year. In its income statement, what amount should Goal report as royalty expense for the year

$75,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount reported as a royalty expense is given below:
There is a guaranteed minimum royalty of $60,000
And the 10% of book sales is $75,000
So the amount that should be reported as a royalty expense would be higher of the two amount i.e. $75,000
Therefore the same is relevant

g Mystery Inc has a beta of 1.1. The firm just paid a dividend of 60 cents and the dividends are expected to grow at 5.5% per year. The expected return on the market is 10% and treasury bills have a yield of 5%. The company's current stock price is $45. Calculate the cost of equity using the dividend growth model.
Answer:
6.91%
Explanation:
The formula for share price using the dividend growth model stated below can be used to determine the cost of equity as well whereby the formula is rearranged in order to make the cost of equity the subject as shown thus:
share price=expected dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)
share price=$45
expected dividend=last dividend*(1+dividend growth rate)
expected dividend=$0.60*(1+5.5%)=0.633
cost of equity=the unknown
dividend growth rate=5.5%
45=0.633/(cost of equity-5.5%)
45*(cost of equity-5.5%)=0.633
cost of equity-5.5%=0.633/45
cost of equity=(0.633/45)+5.5%
cost of equity=6.91%

Assume the smart watch industry is a perfectly competitive industry that uses a specialized input. If this industry experiences an increase in demand, we might expect that in the long run: Multiple Choice neither input nor output prices will increase. both input and output prices will increase. only input prices will increase. only output prices will increase.
Answer:
Option B, both input and output prices will increase
Explanation:
Since the demand far smart watches is increasing, the price of watches will escalate to cater the opportunity cost. With the rising demand for smart watch, the demand for specialized input will also increase. Considering the growth in demand for specialized input, its cost shall also escalate to take the benefit of opportunity. Along with raw material, variable costs such as transportation, manpower, electricity etc. will also increase both in input (bringing raw material and producing final product) and output (export of the final product)
In nut shell, both the input and output price will increase.
