Crane Company received proceeds of $799000 on 10-year, 9% bonds issued on January 1, 2019. The bonds had a face value of $848000, pay interest annually on December 31, and have a call price of 105. Crane uses the straight-line method of amortization. What is the amount of interest expense Crane will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
The amount of interest expense Crane will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $81,220.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual amortization = (Face value of the bonds - Proceeds from the bonds) / Tenure of the bonds = ($848000 - $799000) / 10 = $49,000 / 10 = $4,900
Interest expenses for 2020 = (Face value of the bonds * Annual interest rate) + Annual amortization = ($848000 * 9%) + $4,900 = $76,320 + $4,900 = $81,220
Therefore, the amount of interest expense Crane will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $81,220.
With gasoline prices at $3.00 per gallon, consumers are flocking to purchase hybrid vehicles (combination of gasoline and electric motors) that get 50 miles per gallon of gasoline. The monthly payment on a three-year lease of a hybrid is $499 compared to $399 per month on a conventional, equivalent traditional gasoline car that gets 25 miles per gallon. Both vehicles require a one-time $1,500 payment for taxes, license, and dealer charges. Both vehicles have identical lease terms for the residual value, maximum number of miles allowed without penalty, and so forth.
Required:
a. Calculate how many miles the consumer must drive per year to make the hybrid the economical choice over the conventional gasoline-only vehicle.
b. How does your answer to part (a) change if the price of gasoline is $4.00per gallon?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The number of miles driven per year is
Let us assume the mileage be M
Now
$499 + M ($3 ÷ 50) = $399 + M ($3 ÷ 25)
$100 = M(0.12 - 0.06)
M = $100 ÷ 0.06
= 1,666.66 miles per month
For year, it is
= 1,666.66 × 12
= 20,000 miles per year
c. Now in the case when the gasoline price is $4 per gallon
$499 + M ($4 ÷ 50) = $399 + M ($4 ÷ 25)
$100 = M(0.16 - 0.08)
M = $100 ÷ 0.08
= 1,250 miles per month
For year, it is
= 1,250 × 12
= 15,000 miles per year

Profit within Remaining Inventory $8,120
Ownership Percentage 25%
Intraentity gross Profit Deferral $2,030
b. The intra-entity impact for the year 2018 is that yhe accrual equity would be increased by $2,030
c. In the case when the inventory is sold from BuyCo to Marqueen so the direction i.e. upstream or downstream would remain unaffected the above answers
Don James purchased a new automobile for $21,000. Don made a cash down payment of $5,250 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in 30 monthly installments, beginning one month from the date of purchase. Financing is available at a 24% annual interest rate.
Required:
Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment.
Answer:
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Explanation:
given data
Cost of auto = $21000
Cash Down payment = $5250
Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250
loan amount = $15,750
time period = 30 monthly
Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm
solution
we get here monthly payment that is express as
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex] ...................1
put here value and we get
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]
solve it we get
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Caroline is an unmarried single mother of a 14 year old son in 2020. Caroline's spouse and the son's father, Frank, died during 2018. Caroline's Adjusted Gross Income for 2020 is 54,000. Caroline's itemized deductions are $10,000. What is Caroline's computed Income Tax Liability for 2020 BEFORE CONSIDERING ANY TAX CREDITS
Answer:
the income tax liability for the year 2020 is $9,680
Explanation:
The computation of the income tax liability for the year 2020 is as follows:
= (Adjusted gross income) - (itemized deductions) × tax rate
= ($54,000 - $10,000) × 0.22
= $44,000 × 0.22
= $9,680
We assume the tax rate be 22%
hence, the income tax liability for the year 2020 is $9,680
9. Two countries: US and Mexico. Two goods: Airplane and car. A US worker's MPL is 20 times higher than a Mexican worker in making an airplane. A US worker's MPL is 5 times higher than a Mexican worker in making a car. Which country has absolute advantage in making cars and why
Answer:
The US has absolute advantage in making cars. An additional worker makes 5 times higher cars than a Mexican worker.
Explanation:
The US has the absolute advantage than Mexico in making both products since its Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) (i.e. the number cars that an additional worker produces) is higher. The US also enjoys absolute advantage because it incurs less cost in making car (or even airplane) than does Mexico in making either car (or even airplane). One can then conclude that the US has the absolute advantage in the making of cars.
The primary difference between a change in supply and a change in the quantity supplied is: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a both a change in quantity supplied and a change in supply are shifts in the supply curve, only in different directions. b both a change in quantity supplied and a change in supply are movements along the supply curve, only in different directions. c a change in supply is caused by a change in the price of the good itself, and a change in quantity supplied is caused by a change in a non-price determinant of supply. d a change in quantity supplied is caused by a change in the price of the good itself, and a change in supply is caused by a change in a non-price determinant of supply.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A change in quantity supplied is as a result of a change in the price of the good. This change in the price leads to a movement along the supply curve. If price increases, there is an upward movement up along the supply curve and if there is a decrease in price, there is a movement down the demand curve.
A change in supply is caused by other factors other than price. Some of these factors include :
A change in the number of suppliersThe cost in the price of raw materials needed in the production of the good.A change in supply leads to a movement outward or inward
Novak Corp. bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $390000 and had an expected salvage value of $35000. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 5 years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The book value of the equipment at the beginning of the third year would be
Answer:
$177,000
Explanation:
In order to find the book value of the equipment we need to find the amount of depreciation per year. To do this we need to subtract the salvage value from the initial cost and then simply divide by 5 which is the life span of the equipment...
(390,000 - 35,000) / 5 = x
355,000 / 5 = x
71,000 = x
Now we see that the equipment will depreciate by $71,000 per year. In three years the depreciation would be
71,000 * 3 = 213,000
Now we simply subtract this value from the initial cost to get the book value in the third year
390,000 - 213,000 = 177,000
Analyze the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring or detracting from team success. In the analysis, considering the advantages and disadvantages of the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). For example, what would be some of the effective and ineffective individual and leadership behaviors regarding team environmental, design, process, and effectiveness practices
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). You did not a link or picture of it.
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following model.
We are going to use the Katzenbach and Smith Team Model.
This team effectiveness model has three important components at the base of the pyramid: collective work product, commitment, and personal growth.
From there, the next level indicates the specific goals of the team, the ground rules, the common approach, and the meaningful purpose of the team.
Going up the pyramid we have the Skills and Accountability.
In the Skills, the authors include interpersonal skills, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities. Regarding Accountability, the authors include mutual and personal accountability.
At the very top of the pyramid, we have the performance results.
This model helps to establish the foundation of the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring team success.
For this to happen, leaders have to set the example of the n¿behavior they like to observe on team members. On the other hand, setting that example, team members are expected to follow through with the goals and expectations, following high standards of performance to accomplish goals.

A couple of generations ago, a relative of Sophia wanted to share his wealth with family members and decided to open a special bank account. The purpose of such financial instrument was to pay out an annuity forever, which would be shared among all family members. Given that the initial deposit was 478,694 dollars and the prevailing interest rate at that time was 5 %, compounded annually, find the value of the annuity this family collects every year.
Answer:
$23,934.70
Explanation:
Perpetuity (P) Present Value = Deposit = $478,694
Perpetuity annuity value = Deposit * Interest rate
Perpetuity annuity value = $478,694 * 5%
Perpetuity annuity value = $23,934.70
The Exclusive Gift Company has a monopoly over the sale of gold hula hoops. This company is currently pricing and producing where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. It is selling 50 gold hula hoops at a price of $5,000 each. Total costs for the company are $300,000 of which fixed costs are $100,000. You are hired as an economic consultant to this company. You should advise this monopolist to
Answer:
Produce throughout the shorter term but depart the industries run if the circumstances don't start changing because the losses are incurred.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Gold sells,
Q = 50
Price,
= $5000
Total cost,
= $300,000
Fixed cost,
= $100,000
So,
⇒ [tex]TR=5000\times 50[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=250000[/tex] ($)
Now,
⇒ [tex]TVC=300000-100000[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=2000 00[/tex]
So that,
⇒ [tex]AVC=\frac{VC}{Q}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]=\frac{200000}{50}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=4000[/tex]
So the above is the correct answer.
A medium sized consulting engineering firm is trying to decide whether it should remodel its office now or wait and do it one year from now. If the firm does it now, the cost will be $38,000. The interest rate is 10% per year. a) What would the cost have to be one year from now to render the decision indifferent
Answer:
next year total cost = $41,800 is the cost to render the decision indifferent.
Explanation:
given data
cost = $38,000
interest rate = 10% per year
time period = 1 year
solution
we get here total cost of remodelling next year that is here
total cost = P + (PNR) ÷ 100 ............1
here P is present cost and N term and R interest rate.
and we take here interest for 1 year first that is
interest = PNR ÷ 100 = 38,000 x 1 x 10 ÷ 100 = $3,800
so as that next year cost will be
next year total cost = 38,000 + 3,800
next year total cost = $41,800 is the cost to render the decision indifferent.
Take a moment to practice identifying a single, researchable question for the following issues:
a. A company ships its widgets to a customer on December 31 but has not yet collected payment from the customer. The customer has promised to pay within 30 days but has never purchased good with this company before. Researchable question?
b. A customer is suing the local grocery store for a slip-and-fall incident. The grocery store believes the lawsuit will likely be considered frivolous and rejected by the court. The grocery store must decide whether to record or disclose this matter. Researchable question?
Answer:
Identifying a single, researchable question for the stated issues:
a. How probable will it be that this customer pays within 30 days?
b. How probable is it for a liability to arise from this lawsuit?
Explanation:
A good research question should be specifically focused on a single issue or some closely related ideas. This will ensure the generation of a good thesis statement. A research question that is too general or is not focused on one topic makes it difficult to carry out the research. The only solution will be to narrow down the topic to a single researchable issue. A good research question provides a clear direction. It should provide the basis for meaningful understanding of an issue through investigation.
A firm's current profits are $1,400,000. These profits are expected to grow indefinitely at a constant annual rate of 4 percent. If the firm's opportunity cost of funds is 7 percent, determine the value of the firm:
Answer:
$ 48,533,333.33
Explanation:
The value of the firm now is the present value of its profits using the constant growth rate model formula as provided below:
PV of profits(value of the firm)=expected profits/(opportunity cost of funds-constant growth rate)
expected profits=current profits*(1+constant growth rate)
current profits =$1,400,000
constant growth rate=4%
expected profits=$1,400,000*(1+4%)
expected profits=$1,456,000
the opportunity cost of funds=7%
PV of profits(value of the firm)=$1,456,000/(7%-4%)
PV of profits(value of the firm)=$1,456,000/3%
PV of profits(value of the firm)=$ 48,533,333.33
Sandhill uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at cost (retail) were $386000 ($590000), purchases during the current year at cost (retail) were $1975000 ($3220000), freight-in on these purchases totaled $125000, sales during the current year totaled $2920000, and net markups (markdowns) were $68000 ($104000). What is the ending inventory value at cost
Answer:
$567,056
Explanation:
Cost :
Merchanidize available for sale
= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Freight in
= $386,000 + $1,975,000 + $125,000
= $2,486,000
Retails:
Merchandize available for sale:
= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Markups
= $590,000 + $3,220,000 + $68,000
= $3,878,000
Ending inventory at retail = Retail total -markdowns - Net sales
= $3,878,000 - $104,000 - $2,920,000
= $854,000
Cost to retail ratio = $2,486,000 ÷ ($2,920,000 + $854,000)
= $2,486,000 ÷ $3,744,000
= 66.40%
Ending inventory at retail = $854,000
And
Cost to retail ratio = 66.40%
Therefore,
Ending inventory at cost = $854,000 × 66.40% = $567,056

Data pertaining to the postretirement health care benefit plan of Danielson Delivery Service include the following for the current calendar year: Service cost $ 150,000 APBO, January 1 $ 800,000 Plan assets (fair value), January 1 $ 80,000 Prior service cost (current year amortization, $2,000) $ 90,000 Retiree benefits paid (end of year) $ 90,000 Net gain (current year amortization, $1,000) $ 92,000 Contribution to health care fund (end of year) $ 85,000 Return on plan assets (actual and expected) 10 % Discount rate 8 % Required: 1. Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.
Answer: $207,00
Explanation:
Postretirement benefit for the year is:
= Service cost + Interest cost + Amortization of prior service cost - Return on plant assets - Amortization of net gain
Interest cost = Discount rate * Actual Projected benefit obligation (APBO)
= 8% * 800,000
= $64,000
Return on plant assets = Return on plan assets (actual and expected)* Plan assets
= 10% * 80,000
= $8,000
Postretirement benefit = 150,000 + 64,000 + 2,000 - 8,000 - 1,000
= $207,000

A firm produces truffles by using labor and capital. The price of labor is $10 per unit, and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At current output level, the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the marginal product of capital is 60 truffles. To reduce the total cost of producing the current quantity of truffles, how should the firm change its spending on labor and capital
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.
This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.

Ryan is self-employed. This year Ryan used his personal auto for several long business trips. Ryan paid $1,920 for gasoline on these trips. His depreciation on the car if he was using it fully for business purposes would be $3,900. During the year, he drove his car a total of 20,200 miles (a combination of business and personal travel). (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Required:
a. Ryan can provide written documentation of the business purpose for trips totaling 3,700 miles. What business expense amount can Ryan deduct (if any) for these trips?
b. Ryan estimates that he drove approximately 2,220 miles on business trips, but he can only provide written documentation of the business purpose for trips totaling 1,400 miles. What business expense amount can Ryan deduct (if any) for these trips?
Answer:
a. $2,634.36
$1,481.11
Explanation:
a. Ryan can claim the direct costs of the trip being gasoline and oil. He can therefore claim the $1,920 he paid for gasoline.
In addition, some of the indirect costs can be claimed as well such as depreciation. The claim is calculated as:
= Depreciation amount * Business miles / Total miles driven
= 3,900 * 3,700 / 20,200
= $714.36
Total deduction = 1,920 + 714.36
= $2,634.36
b. Ryan needs to be able to prove that the cost he is claiming are indeed business expenses. Total deductibles are:
= (3,900 * 1,400/ 20,200) + (1,400/2,220 * 1,920)
= $1,481.11
