Answer:
a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy. SENIOR MORTGAGE BONDS.
A senior mortgage bond is one whose collateral is one or more properties. Mortgage bonds generally have priority over other types of bonds and a senior mortgage bond has priority over other mortgage bonds.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company. DEBENTURES
Debentures have no physical collateral backing them and are only back by the reputation of the company. This therefore makes them a bit high risk and so their rates are higher.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES.
Debentures have higher than normal rates so subordinated debentures will be quite risky. They command the highest rates as a result because in the event of a default, their claim on assets is last.
Fickle Company purchased a machine at a total cost of $220,000 (no residual value) at the beginning of 2018. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method. At the beginning of 2021, it was decided to change to straight-line. An accompanying disclosure note would include each of the following except: Multiple Choice The cumulative effect of the change. Justification that the change is preferable. The effect of a change on per share amounts affected for all periods reported. The effect of a change on any financial statement line items affected for all periods reported.
Answer:
Fickle Company
An accompanying disclosure note would include each of the following except:
The effect of a change on per share amounts affected for all periods reported.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Total cost of machine = $220,000
Useful life of machine = 10 years
Method of depreciation = the sum-of-the-years'-digits method
b) The sum-of-the-years'-digits method of depreciation adds up the years (e.g. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to obtain 55 as the sum-of-the-years'-digits denominator. Each year's depreciation is then based on the number of years remaining. For example, the depreciation expense for year 1 will be $40,000 (10/55 * $220,000).
In disclosing this change in accounting method, that is, from the sum-of-the-years'-digits method to the straight-line method of depreciation, Fickle does not need to disclose the effect of the change on per share basis.

(Identify Temporary Differences and Classification Criteria) The asset-liability approach for recording deferred income taxes is an integral part of generally accepted accounting principles.
Instructions
(a) Indicate whether each of the following independent situations should be treated as a temporary difference or as a permanent difference, and explain why.
(1) Estimated warranty costs (covering a 3-year warranty) are expensed for financial reporting purposes at the time of sale but deducted for income tax purposes when paid.
(2) Depreciation for book and income tax purposes differs because of different bases of carrying the related property, which was acquired in a trade-in. The different bases are a result of different rules used for book and tax purposes to compute the basis of property acquired in a trade-in.
(3) A company properly uses the equity method to account for its 30% investment in another company. The investee pays dividends that are about 10% of its annual earnings.
(4) A company reports a gain on an involuntary conversion of a nonmonetary asset to a monetary asset. The company elects to replace the property within the statutory period using the total proceeds so the gain is not reported on the current year’s tax return.
(b) Discuss the nature of the deferred income tax accounts and the manner in which these accounts are to be reported on the balance sheet.

Barton Industries expects next year's annual dividend, D1, to be $2.00 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.2%. The firm's current common stock price, P0, is $20.00. If it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 4.5% flotation cost, F. What is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings will be calculated thus:
= Expected dividend / [Current price × (1 - Floatation cost)] + Expected growth rate
= 2.00/[20.00 × (1 - 4.5%)] + 4.2%
= 2.00 /[20.00 × (1 - 0.045)] + 0.042
= 2.00 / (20.00 × 0.955) + 0.042
= (2.00/19.10) + 0.042
= 0.104712 + 0.042
= 0.146712
New cost of equity = 14.67%
You didn't give the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment. Let's assume that this is maybe 11%, the floatation on adjustment factor = 14.67% - 11% = 3.67%
During the year, Walt who is self-employed travels from Seattle to Tokyo, Japan, on business. His time was spent as follows: two days travel (one day each way), two days business, and two days personal. His expenses for the trip were as follows (meals and lodging reflect only the business portion): Airfare $3,000 Lodging 2,000 Meals 1,000 Presuming no reimbursement, Walt's deductible expenses are: a.$3,500. b.$6,000. c.$4,500. d.$5,500.
Answer:
d.$5,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the deductible expense is shown below:
= Airfare + lodging + 50% of meals
= $3,000 + $2,000 + 50% of $1,000
= $3,000 + $2,000 + $500
= $5,500
hence, the deductible expense is $5,500
Here we take 100% of airfare & lodging but we took 50% for the meals
hence, the option d is correct
C Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $808,200 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $141,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,800. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,800. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice 11.28% 5.28% 6.52% 16.88%
Answer:
6.52%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
New machine cost = $808,200
Scrap sold = $22,800
Cost of investment = $808,200 - $22,800 = $785,400
Saving from new machine = $141,000
Annual depreciation of machine = $89,800
Net operating income = $141,000 - $89,800 = $51,200
Now we can calculate the rate of return by using following formula,
Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ Cost of Investment
= $51,200 ÷ $785,400
= 6.52%

On January 1, 2017, Alexis Company purchased a delivery truck for $60,000. They estimated the useful life of the truck to be 6 years, and the salvage value to be $12,000. On July 1, 2022, they sold the truck for a loss of $1,200. Assuming the company uses straight line depreciation, what was the selling price of the truck
Answer:
$14,800
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price of the truck is shown below:
The depreciation expense is
= ($60,000 - $12,000) ÷ 6 years
= $8,000
Now the depreciation for 5.5 years is
= $8,000 × 5.5 years
= $44,000
Now book value is
= $60,000 - $44,000
= $16,000
ANd, finally the selling price of the truck is
= $16,000 - $1,200
= $14,800

a. Purchased 180,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $8.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
b. Direct laborers worked 69,000 hours at a rate of $15 per hour.
c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $565,200.
Required:
a. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's planning budget for March?
b. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget for March?
c. What is the materials price variance for March?
Answer:
Preble Companya. The raw materials cost for the planning budget for March is:
= $1,260,000
b. The raw materials cost included in the company's flexible budget for March
= $1,530,000
c. The materials price variance for March is:
= $90,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Standard Cost Card Per Unit:
Direct materials: 5 pounds at $9 per pound $45
Direct labor: 3 hours at $14 per hour 42
Variable overhead: 3 hours at $8 per hour 24
Total standard cost per unit $111
Planning budget production and sales for March = 28,000 units
Actual production and sales for March = 34,000 units
Purchase of 180,000 pounds of raw materials / 5 = 36,000 units
Purchase cost = $8.50 per pound
Price variance = $0.50 per pound favorable ($9.00 - $8.50)
Total purchase cost = $1,530,000
Direct labor worked = 69,000
Standard labor hours = 34,000 * 3 = 102,000 hours
Direct labor volume variance = 33,000 hours (102,000 - 69,000)
Standard variable manufacturing overhead = $816,000 (34,000 * $24)
a. The raw materials cost for the planning budget for March is:
= $1,260,000 ($9 * 5 * 28,000)
b. The raw materials cost included in the company's flexible budget for March
= $1,530,000 ($9 * 5 * 34,000)
c. The materials price variance for March is:
= $90,000 ($9 - $8.50)180,000
If a company's current ratio increases from 1.2 to 1.4 from one year to the next, and its quick ratio decreases from 0.2 to 0.15 over the same time period, this indicates: a. the current liabilities have decreased. b. the inventory management should be further examined. c. the liquidity must have increased. d. the accounts receivable have decreased.
Answer: b. the inventory management should be further examined.
Explanation:
The Quick ratio is calculated by deducting inventory from the current assets and then dividing that amount by current liabilities while the Current ratio is simply dividing the current assets by the current liabilities.
If the Current ratio increased, it means that the company has more current assets per current liabilities from last year. The fact that the quick ratio dropped however, points to most of the current asset increase being the inventory which means that the company is carrying a lot of inventory.
Their management of inventory such that they are carrying such amounts therefore needs to be further examined before a decision is made on their liquidity.

A hospital needs 2,900 units of a medicine throughout the year. The purchasing cost varies with the size of the order. If the number of units of the medicine that the hospital orders is below 100, the supplier charges $30 per unit; if it is between 100 and 499, the price is $27 each; and if they order 500 units and above, it is $26 per unit. The holding cost per unit per year is $30, as the medicine must be kept in a special device to prevent spoilage. The ordering cost is $10.
Required:
a. How many units of medicine should the hospital order to minimize their total annual cost?
b. What is the minimum annual total cost?
Answer:
a. 100 units are ordered
b. Minimum Total annual cost = 80090
Explanation:
Given that,
D=2900.
C = $30 IF q<100
= $27 IF 100<Q<499.
= $26 IF Q>500.
C(H) = $30
C(O) = $10.
EOQ = √(2*D*C(O)/C(H))
= √( 2*2900*10/30)
= √( 1933.3333)
= 43.97
TAC if 44 units are ordered = (2*D*C(O)*C(H))+D*C
= 2*2900*10*30+ 2900*30
= 1319.09+ 87000 = 88319.09
TAC if 100 units are ordered = 2900/100*10+ 100/2*30+ 2900*27
= 29*10+ 50*30+2900*27
= 290+1500+78300
= 1790 + 78300 = 80090
if 500 units are ordered = 2900/500*10+ 500/2*30+2900*26
= 58+ 7500+75400= 82958.
∴ we get
100 units are ordered
Minimum Total annual cost = 80090.

Suppose a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) research firm is approached by the state legislature and asked to provide data about vehicle movement within the state for all cars that can be tracked with direct GPS or through the owner's smartphone. Based on the movement of the cars (and phones) over a certain time, the police can decide when a car was speeding. They intend on using this data to send speeding tickets to those who moved too far, too fast. Also, if an underage driver spends too long parked by an adult only establishment, police will be notified to investigate. If you are the research firm, would you supply the data?
Answer:
No. I would not supply the data.
Explanation:
Was the GIS research firm commissioned by the state legislature? The state lacks the authority to demand the GIS information. Moreover, the data subjects did not give their consent for the information to be used for this purpose. It will be a violation of data privacy rules to provide the data when the consents of the data subjects were not obtained.

Vanguard is evaluating new potential investments to add to their international investment fund. Their current fund composition boasts returns that, on average, exceed the S&P 500 at 8.5%. They take a conservative approach by allowing capital investments to be recovered within a decade following each purchase. Vanguard is considering adding the Hungarian firm, Kimco & Company, a new technology firm developing automation software for the automotive industry, to their fund.
Estimated details regarding the Kimco & Co. investment are as follows:
Potential investment Payback period Return on investment (ROI) Net present value (NPV) Internal rate of Return (IRR)
Kimco & co. 7 years 0.079 0 0.085
Required:
As an analyst at Vanguard, would you recommend adding Kimco & co. to their international fund?
Answer:
No, I would NOT recommend adding Kimco & co. to their international fund.
Explanation:
The following analyses have to be considered first before making a recommendation:
1. The decision rule for Payback period is to accept a project if its estimated payback period is less than the benchmark payback period. In this question, the estimated Potential investment Payback period of 7 years is less than the 10 years provided by conservative approach. Therefore, the project should be accepted based on Payback period.
2. The decision rule for Return on investment (ROI) is to reject a project if its estimated ROI is less than the average returns. In this question, the estimated ROI of 7.90% is less than the average returns of 8.50%. Therefore, the project should be rejected based on ROI.
3. The decision rule for Net present value (NPV) is to reject a project if its NPV is positive and reject if negative. In this question, the NPV is not neither positive nor negative but zero. Therefore, decision cannot be taken based on NPV.
4. The decision rule for Internal rate of Return (IRR) is to reject a project if its IRR is less than its associated average returns. In this question, the estimated IRR is not less than the average returns because they are both equal to 8.5%. Therefore, decision cannot be taken based on IRR.
Recommendation
No, I would NOT recommend adding Kimco & co. to their international fund based on the ROI.
Although the project should be accepted based on Payback period, but the ROI will still be less than the average return despite that estimated Potential investment Payback period of 7 years is less than the 10 years provided by conservative approach.
Therefore, Kimco & co. should NOT be added to their international fund.

What is a disadvantage of merging cells? Merging cells combines formatting styles. Once cells are merged the process cannot be reversed. Multiple cells can be combined into one reference. Data functions in multiple cells may not be recognized.
Answer: Data functions in multiple cells may not be recognized.
Explanation:
When cells are merged on Excel, the data functions that were on the different cells that were merged may not be recognized in the merged cell so they will need to be inputted again.
This presents its own problem if the merged cells contained functions that had been used to calculate different things. The question then shifts to which function should stay in the merged cell out of the various functions that the composite cells had.
Each of the situations below represents a negative outcome of one of Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Stages. Determine which psychosocial stage resulted in each set of behaviors described below; speculate as to what circumstances may have resulted in the negative outcome; and describe what behaviors would be indicative of a positive outcome of that same stage.
1) Jason is a 14-year-old seventh grader who moved to Saint Cloud this summer from another state. He has recently been referred to the school psychologist because of concerns about both his academic performance and school behavior. A review of his school records shows that Jason repeated kindergarten and third grade. His elementary school grades were primarily S's ("Satisfactory") and N's ("Needs Improvement"). His current teachers state that they are unsure of Jason's academic skills because he typically does not turn in assignments and appears to "clown around" and not take exams and assignments seriously.
2) Brenda is a 5th-year undergraduate student. She began her post-secondary education as a nursing major at a private college, but decided she wanted to pursue a career in special education, so she transferred to a state university with a large education program. After a year, she discovered that special education was not for her, so she transferred back to the college where she had first enrolled and registered for courses in the psychology major sequence. She is now a liberal studies major and will graduate in May. Brenda has thought about applying to law schools, but recently decided she really didn't want a career in law. At this point she has no firm career plans. Rather, she had decided to work as a waitress for at least a year, and after that, who knows?
3) Carrie is a 36-year-old woman who is currently being seen for counseling at the community mental health center. Her second marriage recently ended in divorce, and she has sought counseling so that she might "find" herself and get her life "back on track." Carrie married for the first time at age 18, but she and her husband grew increasingly apart and found they had little in common, other than their two children! She remarried shortly after her first divorce as she felt "empty" being alone and thought both she and her children needed a man in the house, but that marriage also proved unsuccessful. She is now thinking of attending college, and is trying to figure out what to do "with the rest of her life."
