Answer and Explanation:
The classification of the each item as a variable input or fixed input is as follows:
1. upper management salaries = variable input
2. hourly labor = variable input
3. shipping = variable input
4. two-year lease on office and retail space = variable input
5. chairs = variable input
6. computers = variable input
7. beads = variable input
As all the items are calculated as a variable so no fixed input would be considered
There are four resources and four jobs to be done. Assume there must be one-to-one matching between jobs and resources. The time required for each resource to do each job is as follows:
Job (Hours)
Resource A B C D

Which of the following taxes are regressive?
a) A sales tax that adds 5% to the sale of all items
b) The U.S. payroll tax (a constant tax on wages up to a certain amount, after which the marginal tax rate is 0%) is a tax.
c) The U.S. income tax
Answer:
A
Explanation:
A regressive tax is a tax system where the same tax rate is applied uniformly. As a result, those earning less income are taxed higher than those earning more income.
Sales tax is an example of a regressive tax.
If sales tax is 5%. Worker A earns $100 and worker B earns $1000. Both buy a good worth $50 before tax. the sales tax is worth $2.5.
The tax comprises $2,5 / 100 = 2.5% of worker A's income and $2,5 / $1000 = 0.025% of Worker B's income.
It can be seen that worker A who earns less income is taxed higher

In Year 1, in a project to develop Product X, Lincoln Company incurred research and development costs totaling $10 million. Lincoln is able to clearly distinguish the research phase from the development phase of the project. Research-phase costs are $6 million, and development-phase costs are $4 million. All of the IAS 38 criteria have been met for recognition of the development costs as an asset. Product X was brought to market in Year 2 and is expected to be marketable for 5 years. Total sales of Product X are estimated at more than $100 million.
Required:
a. Determine the impact research and development costs have on Lincoln Company's Year 1 and Year 2 income under (1) IFRS and (2) U.S. GAAP.
b. Summarize the difference in income, total assets, and total stockholders' equity related to Product X over its five-year life under the two different sets of accounting rules.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Data Given:
Research and Development Cost = $10 million
Research Phase Cost = $6 million
Development Cost = $4 million
Total Sales of Product X are estimated at more than = $100 million
Solution:
a.
1. IFRS:
Research cost of $6 million have been expensed in year 1 in case of IFRS.
Whereas, for year 2 developmental cost is reported as assets and amortization is recorded on the asset which is the 5th part of the developmental cost of $4 million.
$4,000,000/5 = $800,000
2. U.S. GAAP:
Under U.S. GAAP in year 1, total of $10 million have been expensed including both research and development cost.
Under U.S. GAAP in year 2, however, there is no asset reported and all the costs are expensed in year 1 hence, no impact on the income statement.
b.
Income: In year 1 under IFRS, income will be higher by $4 million ($10-$6)million before the implication of tax.
But for year 2 to year 5:
In case of IFRS, income will be lowered due to the amortization on the deferred development cost. It will decrease by $800,000.
The total assets and stock holder's equity under IFRS will be higher by the following amounts each of the years.
Year 1 $4,000,000
Year 2 $3,200,000
Year 3 $2,400,000
Year 4 $1,600,000
Year 5 $800,000
The above amount is decreased by $800,000 each year because of the amortization of asset.
Smith Company had the following on the dates indicated:
12/31/16 12/31/16
Total Assests $60,000 $330,000
Total Liabilities 35,000 25,000
Smith had no stock transactions in 2016; thus, the change in stockholders' equity for 2016 was due to net income and dividends. If dividends were $70,000, how much was Smith's net income for 2016? Use the accounting equation and the statement of retained earnings.
a. $220,000
b. $290,000
c. $150,000
d. $360,000
Answer: b. $290,000
Explanation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Change in Assets = Change in liabilities + Change in Equity
560,000 - 330,000 = 35,000 - 25,000 + Change in equity
230,000 = 10,000 + Change in equity
Change in Equity = 230,000 - 10,000
= $220,000
Retained earnings = Change in equity + dividends
= 220,000 + 70,000
= $290,000
5) Clark Imports sold a depreciable plant asset for cash of $35,000. The accumulated
depreciation amounted to $70,000, and a loss of $5,000 was recognized on the sale. Under
these circumstances, the original cost of the asset must have been:
Answer:
$110,000
Explanation:
For depreciation, a loss or gain is realized by subtracting the selling price from the book value. Accumulated depreciation is the total amount that has been deducted as depreciation amount.
I.e., profit or loss = selling price - book value
In this case, a loss of $5000 was realized, the selling price was $35,000. The book value must have been $40,000.
$35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000
The original cost will be the book value + depreciation amount
=$40,000 +$70,000
=$110,000

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:
Bonds payable, 6% (due in 15 years) $1,106,989
Preferred 8% stock, $100 par (no change during the year) $200,000
Common stock, $50 par (no change during the year) $1,000,000
Income before income tax for year $323,108
Income tax for year $96,932
Common dividends paid $60,000
Preferred dividends paid $16,000
Based on the data presented above, what is the times interest earned ratio (round to two decimal places)?
Answer:
the times interest earned ratio is 5.87 times
Explanation:
The computation of the times interest earned ratio is shown below:
Interest expense is
= Bonds payable × Interest rate
= $1,106,989 × 6%
= $66,419
Now
Times interest earned ratio is
= (Income before income tax for year + Interest expense) ÷ Interest expense
= ($323,108 + $66,419) ÷ ($66,419)
= 5.87 times
Hence, the times interest earned ratio is 5.87 times
You purchase a $1,000 asset for $800. It pays $60 a year for seven years at which time you receive the $1,000 principal. Prove that the annual return on this investment is not 9 percent.
Answer:
Please check explanations for answer
Explanation:
Here, we want to prove that the ROI is not 9 percent per annum
The amount spent buying the item is $800
Now, there is $60 payment per year for 7 years
The total amount received as the total of payment per year after the 7 years will be;
7 * 60 = $420
Now, instead of the $800 paid initially, $1000 was returned as the principal
What this mean is that there is an extra $200 gain including the $420 that was paid earlier
So the total amount of gain on the investment is $200 + $420 = $620
Now, we proceed to calculate the percentage this was, relative to the amount invested
That would be;
620/800 * 100%
= 77.5%
So there was a 77.5% ROI
so the yearly return on this will be;
77.5%/7 = 11.07 which is approximately 11%
So the ROI is 11% and not 9%
Stocks A and B have the following data. Assuming the stock market is efficient and the stocks are in equilibrium, which of the following statements is correct?
A B
Price $25 $40
Expected growth 7% 9%
Expected return 10% 12%
A) The two stocks should have the same expected dividend
B) The two stocks could not be in equilibrium with the numbers given in the question
C) A's expected dividend is $0.50
D) B's expected dividend is $0.75
E) A's expected dividend is $0.75 and B's expected dividend is $1.20
Answer: E) A's expected dividend is $0.75 and B's expected dividend is $1.20
Explanation:
Using the Gordon growth model, you can calculate the expected dividend. The formula is:
Price = Expected dividend/ (expected return - expected growth)
Stock A expected dividend
25 = D/ (10% - 7%)
D = 25 * 3%
= $0.75
Stock B expected divided
40 = D / (12% - 9%)
D = 40 * 3%
= $1.20
Option A, C and B are therefore wrong.
Option E is correct.
The Gorman Group issued $880,000 of 13% bonds on June 30, 2018, for $946,202. The bonds were dated on June 30 and mature on June 30, 2038 (20 years). The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on December 31 and June 30.
Required:
Record the company's journal entry.
Answer:
Missing word: "a. to record their issuance by The Gorman Group on June 30, 2018, b. interest on December 31, 2018 and c. interest on June 30, 2019 (at the effective rate)."
Par value of bonds = $880,000
Semi annual interest payment = 880,000 x 13% x 6/12 = $57,200
Effective interest rate = 12%, Semi annual Effective interest rate = 6%
Issue price of bonds = $946,202
Premium on bonds payable = Issue price of bonds - Par value of bonds = $946,202 - $880,000 = $66,202

You want to purchase your first house. A conventional mortgage will require a credit score of approximately 630. Your credit score is 560. You need to increase it by 70 points to get to 630. If you increase your score by 12% per year, how many years will it take to lift your score to 630?
Answer:
1.1 years
Explanation:
The currents credit score is 560
the credit score is increasing by 12% per year is
=12% of 560
=12/100 x 560

Congratulations! You won a prize in a contest! There are two choices: take the $500 prize today or wait one year and take the $500 prize a year from now. If the interest rate is 3%, compounded annually, how much interest would you be giving up if you took the prize a year from now?
Answer:
$15
Explanation:
The formula for calumniating compound interest is as below
A= P x ( 1 + r) ^1
For this case
A= Amount after one year
P = principal: $500
r= Interest rate 3% or 0.03
n = time in years: 1
A= $500 x ( 1 + 0.03) ^ 1
A = $500 x(1.03)
A= $500 x 1.03
A =$515
The interest missed is the future value - amount collected after one year.
=$515- $500
=$15

You are the general manager of a high end, full service restaurant. You just placed a $10,000 wine order for two upcoming events. As a thank you, the supplier just stopped by to give you a voucher for a two-night stay at an inn which included dinner and a tasting at the winery. Using the guidelines listed below, analyze the situation. What are your conclusions?
Ethical Guidelines from Textbook (Dopson)
Is it legal?
Any course of action that violates written law or company policies and procedures is wrong.
Does it hurt anyone?
Are benefits accruing to the manager that rightfully belong to the owner of the business? Discounts, rebates, and free products are the property of the business, not the manager.
Am I being honest?
Is the activity one that you can comfortably say reflects well on your integrity as a professional, or will the activity actually diminish your reputation?
Would I care if it happened to me?
If you owned the business, would you be in favor of your manager behaving in the manner you are considering? If you owned multiple units, would it be good for the business if all of your managers followed the considered course of action?
Would I publicize my action?
If you have trouble remembering the other questions, try to remember this one. A quick way to review the ethical merit of a situation is to consider whom you would tell about it. If you are comfortable telling your boss about the considered course of action, it is likely ethical. If you would prefer that your actions go undetected, you are probably on shaky ethical ground. If you wouldn’t want your action to be read aloud in a court of law (even if your action is legal), you probably shouldn’t do it.
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
When they look at the issue in which they start taking the voucher for just a two-night stop at such an accommodation which involves dinner or alcohol degustation, it could be seen as a move to give gratitude to both the supplier but also in breach of the policy and ethics standards established out from the issue. Any other kind of coupon, bribe, and another way of responding to just the supplier's request can be regarded as unethical as it may hinder or affect only judgment, and it also generates a conflict of interest in potential.
If we look at the second law, though, it states that every voucher and voucher earned in support of the role held by the individual belongs to a company, so that the vouchers earned by the manager become owned by the company. Concurrently, the approval of vouchers also questions the honesty or professional integrity of a director.
On consideration of all of the above reasons, the coupon must be rejected by the director or sent to the client because any voucher or coupon was its owner of the employer.

If workers demand and receive higher real wages as a result of successful wage push, the cost of production __and the aggregate supply curve shifts
Select one:
a. falls; left
b. rises; left
c. falls, right
d. rises; right
= rises; left
Answer:
b. rises; left
Explanation:
Wage is the amount incurred in compensating workers for their services. It is a major expense for producers. Wage is one of the inputs in the manufacturing process; producers need labor services to continue operating. An increase in wages raises the production cost of the finished goods.
An increase in the cost of production may limit the quantity of output from the producers. As production cost increase, producers will require additional funds to finance the high production costs. Since resources are scarce in every industry, producers may opt to lower their output to avoid incurring high costs. A decrease in the production volume shifts the aggregate supply curve to the left.

Entries for Issuing Bonds and Amortizing Premium by Straight-Line Method Smiley Corporation wholesales repair products to equipment manufacturers. On April 1, Year 1, Smiley Corporation issued $20,000,000 of five-year, 9% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $20,811,010. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1.
a. Journalize the entry to record the issuance of bonds on April 1, Year 1. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
b. Journalize the entry to record the first interest payment on October 1, Year 1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.) For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
c. Why was the company able to issue the bonds for $20,811,010 rather than for the face amount of $20,000,000?
The market rate of interest is the contract rate of interest.
Answer:
a. Journal Entry Debit Credit
Cash $20,811,010
Bonds Payable $20,000,000
Premium on Bonds Payable $811,010
(To record the issuance of bonds on April 1)
b. Journal Entry Debit Credit
Interest expense $818,899
