Lester sold a warehouse with an original cost of $150,000 for $230,000. The warehouse had accumulated depreciation of $40,000. The recognized gain on the sale was $ . The amount of the gain that is unrecaptured Section 1250 gain is $ and will be taxed at a maximum rate of percent. The remaining $ will be taxed at a maximum rate of 20%.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Recognized Gain:

= Selling price - Net book value

= 230,000 - (150,000 - 40,000)

= $120,000

The amount of the gain that is unrecaptured Section 1250 gain:

= Selling Price - Cost of asset - Accumulated depreciation

= 230,000 - 150,000 - 40,000

= $40,000

Tax will be maximum rate of 25% as per IRS rules.

The cash to be charged at maximum of 20% is:

= Gain - Section 1250 gain

= 120,000 - 40,000

= $80,000

A newspaper report states the following: "On March 2, Bastiaan Vanacker was arrested for indecent exposure"; However, what really happened was that someone called Sebastian Van Akker was arrested on March first for indecent exposure. The journalist made a mistake when reading the police report. Both Vanacker and Van Akker sue the newspaper for libel. Given libel jurisprudence, which of the following is most likely to happen? They both are private figures.
a. Bastiaan Vanacker wins a libel suit , Sebastian Van Akker loses.
b. Sebastian Van Akker wins a libel suit, Bastiaan Vanacker loses a libel suit.
c. They both win a libel suit.
d. They both lose a libel suit

Answers

Answer:

a. Bastiaan Vanacker wins a libel suit , Sebastian Van Akker loses.

Explanation:

Libel is where a defamatory statement has been published and that statement is false, this will result in the person able to claim libel charges.

This means that if information about someone is publicised (specially a private figure) for any criminal act and which could lead to damage that person's reputation seriously without any proper evidence or even false evidence then this would become ground for a libel case.

Such as in this case where a journalist reported that Bastiaan Vanacker was arrested for indecent exposure even though this was not really the case. As confirmed through the police report which the journalist had misread. This libel suit filed by Bastiaan Vanacker would be won, as his reputation has been damaged to the falsely alleged report published in the newspaper.

However, in the case of Sebastian Van Akker, who had actually committed the crime and no information was mentioned about him in the newspaper, will lose the libel suit filed. This is due to the fact that he was not defamed for any act which he himself had not conducted.

c. Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Explanation:

Given:

                              Q1                Q2           Q3           Q4

Sales ($)               860              940         900         1,000

Therefore, we  have:

a. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming that the company places orders during each quarter equal to 30 percent of projected sales for the next quarter. Assume that the company pays immediately. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

This is done as follows:

                                                 Q1                Q2           Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

b. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 90-day payables period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

A 90-day payables period implies that the payment has be made within the next 90 days or within one quarter or the same quarter. Therefore, we have:

                                                 Q1               Q2             Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

c. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 60-day payables period.

A 60-day payables period implies the payment for the Order in each of the quarters has to be made in the same quarter.

Therefore, we have:

                                                 Q1               Q2             Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Joint products A and B emerge from common processing that costs $116,000 and yields 4,000 units of Product A and 2,800 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $280 per unit. Product B can be sold for $100 per unit. How much of the joint cost will be assigned to Product A if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales values

Answers

Answer:

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800

Explanation:

Joint costs are the costs incurred up until the split-off where two or more products result from the same production process. These  common costs need to be apportioned among the joint products using any of the following basis:

physical unitsRelative sales value basis.

The relative value basis apportions joint costs using the proportion of product individual sales value to the the total sales value.

Total sales value = (280×4,000) + (100×2,800) =1400000

Apportioned joint cost to A =(1,120,000/1,400,000)× 116,000=92800

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800

Maria works for a toy manufacturer and is responding to the claim of a disgruntled customer. The customer is upset because the Interactive toy he purchased for his child stopped working the day of the purchase. The customer tried replacing the batteries, but that would not fix the problem. Maria knows that there have been issues with this product, and she decides to write an adjustment message. Which of the following sentences would be appropriate for Maria to include in her adjustment message?
a. I wasn't personally responsible for the defect, but I'll see what I can do.
b. Perhaps your child did something to the toy to cause it to stop working.
c. You can use the enclosed voucher to purchase a new product of your choice.
d. I promise this will never happen again.

Answers

Answer: You can use the enclosed voucher to purchase a new product of your choice

Explanation:

An adjustment message simply refers to the response that is written with respect to a claim letter which was made against a business or organization.

The appropriate sentence that Maria should include in her adjustment message will be that "You can use the enclosed voucher to purchase a new product of your choice".

This will help calm the customer down and the customer will be happy to know that she can make another purchase with the voucher.

Other options such as "I wasn't personally responsible for the defect, but I'll see what I can do", and "Perhaps your child did something to the toy to cause it to stop working" will make the customer angrier.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Epsilon currently pays $76 per unit to buy a part for a product it sells. Epsilon has excess capacity, and estimates that making the part would incur variable costs of $8 for direct materials and $40 for direct labor. Epsilon's normal predetermined overhead rate is 150% of direct labor cost, but management computes an incremental overhead rate of $16.00 per unit to make this part. Epsilon should choose to:___.
A. Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $82 per unit.
B. Make since the relevant cost to make it is $61.20 per unit.
C. Buy since the relevant cost to make it is more than $74.00 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

If the company males the unit, it will save $12 per unit.

You are considering a project in Honduras that would generate 1.5 million dollars in cash flows per year going forever. The cost of the project is 8 million dollars. The discount rate for the project is 12%. You believe that there is some probability of expropriation prior to the 4th year (after the 3rd cash flow). Which of the following fully describes when this is a good project?
a. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is larger than 0.33
b. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.33
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
d. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.66 7.

Answers

Answer:

c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5

Explanation:

initial outlay = $8,000,000

if no expropriation, NPV = -$8,000,000 + $1,500,000/0.12 = $4,500,000

if the risk of expropriation is 0.33:

NPV = $925,211

if the risk of expropriation is 0.5:

NPV = -$425,265

the breakeven risk = 44.6%

Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021, is:

Answers

Answer:

$1,345

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021, is

First step is to calculate the Expense amount

Expense=Credit sales $315,000* .5%

Expense=$1,575

Second step is to calculate the Allowance

Allowance 12/31/2020 $1,650

Less Write-offs(1,880)

Allowance ($ 230)debit

Now let calculate the final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts

December 31, 2021 allowance for uncollectible accounts= ($230) + $1,575

December 31, 2021 allowance for uncollectible accounts=$1,345

Therefore Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021, is $1,345

B.) Brazilian real, Mongolian tögrög

Explanation:

Currency of Brazil is Brazilian real

Currency of Mongolia is Mongolian tögrög

A.)

Samra lives in and attends a university in Brazil. Next semester, she plans to study abroad in Mongolia.

Therefore, Samra will demand Mongolian tögrög and will supply Brazilian real.

B.)

Watch Me is a manufacturer of designer watches based in Brazil. Though the watches are produced exclusively in Brazil, they are sold throughout the world. Watch Me does an especially robust business in Mongolia. Therefore, Watch Me will demand Brazilian real and will supply Mongolian tögrög

Reason -

For the first part, samra is in need of Mongolian currency in order to make her plan in action to study abroad but at present she is holding with her Brazilian currency, so hereby the demand is considered of Mongolian currency and supply accordingly will be of Brazilian currency to complete the transaction.

For the second part, Watch Me is manufacturer based in Brazil and all the operations related to manufacture occurred exclusively in Brazil , so when sale of watches done in Mongolian currency , there is need to remit the sale consideration to the Brazil . Accordingly he has to change the Mongolian currency to Brazilian currency and as a result he is in demand of Brazilian real by way of supplying Mongolian currency in exchange.

Pittman Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,110 per month plus $11 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 621 frames, but the actual level of activity was 611 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $8,250. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Spending variance for supplies = Standard cost - Actual cost

Standard cost formulae = $1,110 per month + $11 per frame

Standard cost for actual output = $1,110 + ($11 × 611)

= $1,110 + $6,721

= $7,831

But actual cost = $8,250

Therefore,

Spending variance would be

= $7,831 - $8,250

= $419 unfavourable

The spending variance for supplies cost in November is closest to $419 unfavourable

Phelps, Inc. had assets of $71,028, liabilities of $16,084, and 11,130 shares of outstanding common stock at December 31, 2017. Net income for 2017 was $8,236. The company had assets of $83,529, liabilities of $19,293, 10,897 shares of outstanding common stock, and its stock was trading at a price of $10 per share at December 31, 2018. Net income for 2018 was $10,114.

Required:
a. Calculate EPS for 2018.
b. Calculate ROE for 2018.
c. Calculate the Price/Earnings Ratio for 2018.

Answers

Answer:

a. Earning per share = Net income / Average no of shares outstanding

Average no of shares outstanding = (Beginning shares + Ending share)/2 = (11,130 + 10,897) / 2 = 11,013.5.

Earning per share = $10,114/11,013.5 shares = $0.9183

b. Return on equity = Net income / Average stockholders equity

Stockholders equity 2017 = $71,028-$16,084 = $54,944

Stockholders equity 2018 = $83,529-$19,293 = $64,236

Average Stockholders equity = ($54,944+$64,236)/2 = $59,590

Return on equity = $10,114/$59,590

Return on equity = 0.1697265

Return on equity = 16.97%

c. Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings per share

Price earnings ratio = $10/$0.9183

Price earnings ratio = 10.88968746596973

Price earnings ratio = 10.89

Explanation:

The computation of the amount allocated to the ending inventory is shown below:

But before that the average per unit is

= Total amount ÷ total units

= $6,069 ÷ (153 + 204  + 204 + 153)

= $8.5

Since the ending inventory units is 204 units

So, the ending inventory is

= $8.5 ×204 units

= $1,734

hence, the ending inventory is $1,734

Why is the cost of goods sold account part of a trading business only?
The cost of goods sold account is part of a trading business, but not seen in the income statement of a service business. This is because in a
service business, no
goods are sold to the consumers.

Answers

Answer:

Indeed, the cost of goods sold account is part of a trading business, but not seen in the income statement of a service business, because in a service business, no material goods are sold to the consumers. In this way, contrary to what happens in the sale of goods, in the sale of services the seller does not offer a material with a previous production cost to the buyer, but rather offers the performance of a certain task, with which there is no material component in the offer, but rather an execution of an act and the knowledge of how to carry out said execution by the person providing the service.

Warranty Costs Milford Company sells a motor that carries a three-month unconditional warranty against product failure. Based on a reliable statistical analysis, Milford knows that between the sale and the end of the product warranty period, four percent of the units sold will require repair at an average cost of $60 per unit. The following data reflect Milford's recent experience:
October November December Dec. 31 Total 23,000 22,000 25,000 70,000 Units sold Known product failures from sales in: October November December 120 460 180 130 160 220 350 210 210

Credit General Journal Date Description Dec.31 Product Warranty Expense Estimated Liability for Product Warranty To provide for estimated future warranty expense. $ Debit 64,800 $ 0 64,800

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the estimated liability and the journal entry is given below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

The Estimated defective units is

= 70,000 × 4%

= 2,800 units

the actual defective units is

= 460 + 350 + 210

= 1,020 units

The no of unclaimed units is

= 2,800 - 1,020

= 1,780 units

Now the warranty expense is

= 1,780 units × $60 per unit

= $106,800

vProblem 10-4 Partnership Formation (LO 10.2) Elaine's original basis in the Hornbeam Partnership was $40,000. Her share of the taxable income from the partnership since she purchased the interest has been $70,000, and Elaine has received $80,000 in cash distributions from the partnership. Elaine did not recognize any gains as a result of the distributions. In the current year, Hornbeam also allocated $1,000 of tax-exempt interest to Elaine. Calculate Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest. $fill in the blank 1

Answers

Answer: $31000

Explanation:

Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest will be calculated as:

= Value of original basis + (interest purchased - Cash received) + tax exempt interest

= $40000 + ($70000 - $80000) + $1000

= $40000 - $10000 + $1000

= $31000

Blu-Rays can be produced at a constant marginal cost of $5 per disk, and Superhero Studios is releasing the Blu-Rays for its last two major films. The Blu-Ray for Obscure-Man is priced at $20 per disk, and the Blu-Ray for Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1 is priced at $30 per disk. What are the price elasticities of demand for these two movies

Answers

Answer:

Obscure-Man = -1.33Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1 = -1.2

Explanation:

Price elasticity based on the variables given here, can be calculated using the formula:

= Price / (Marginal cost  - Price)

Obscure-Man:

= 20/ (5 - 20)

= -1.33

Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1:

= 30 / (5 - 30)

= -1.2

c. If she has 1,000 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Answers

Answer:

a-1. We have:

MC = 3y^2 / 800 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function

AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800)  <=== Average cost (AC) function

a-2. The amount of output is 43.09 bouquets.

a-3. Average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.

b-1. We have:

MC = 3y^2 / 2,000  <=== Marginal cost (MC) function

AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function

b-2. The amount of output is 79.37 bouquets.

b-3. Average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.

c-1. We have:

MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function

AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function

c-2. The amount of output is 125.99 bouquets.

c-3. Average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.

Explanation:

Given:

cv(y) = y^3/ 4F  ………………… (1)

cf = fixed cost = F

Therefore, total cost (C) per month is as follows:

C(y) = cf + cv(y) = y^ 3/ 4F

C(y) = F + y^3 / 4F ……………………… (2)

a-1. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.

This implies that:

F = 200

Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 200 as follows:

MC = cv’(y)

MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 200)

MC = 3y^2 / 800 ………………. (3) <= Marginal cost (MC) function

Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 200 and solve as follows:

AC = C’(y) = (200 / y) + (y^3 / 4F) / y

AC = (200 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 200)) / y

AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800) …………………. (4) <= Average cost (AC) function

a-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?

Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (3) and (4) and solve for y as follows:

3y^2 / 800 = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800)

0.00375y^2 = (200 / y) + 0.00125y^2

0.00375y^2 - 0.00125y^2 = 200 / y

0.0025y^2 = 200 / y

(0.0025y^2)y = 200

0.0025y^3 = 200

y^3 = 200 / 0.0025

y^3 = 80,000

y = 80,000^(1/3)

y = 43.09

Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 43.09 bouquets.

a-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Substituting y = 43.09 into equation (4), we have:

AC = (200 / 43.09) + (43.09^2 / 800)

AC = 6.96

Therefore, average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.

b-1. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.

This implies that:

F = 500

Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 500 as follows:

MC = cv’(y)

MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 500)

MC = 3y^2 / 2,000 ………………. (5) <= Marginal cost (MC) function

Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 500 and solve as follows:

AC = C’(y) = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y

AC = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y

AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) …………………. (6) <= Average cost (AC) function

b-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?

Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (5) and (6) and solve for y as follows:

3y^2 / 2,000 = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000)

0.0015y^2 = (500 / y) + 0.0005y^2

0.0015y^2 - 0.0005y^2 = 500 / y

0.001y^2 = 500y

0.001y^2 * y = 500

0.001y^3 = 500

y^3 = 500 / 0.001

y^3 = 500,000

y = 500,000^(1/3)

y = 79.37

Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 79.37 bouquets.

b-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Substituting y = 79.37 into equation (6), we have:

AC = (500 / 79.37) + (79.37^2 / 2,000)

AC = 9.45

Therefore, average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.

c-1. If she has 1,000 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.

This implies that:

F = 1,000

Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 1,000 as follows:

MC = cv’(y)

MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 1,000)

MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 ………………. (7) <= Marginal cost (MC) function

Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 1,000 and solve as follows:

AC = C’(y) = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 1,000)) / y

AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4,000)) / y

AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) …………………. (8) <= Average cost (AC) function

c-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?

Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (7) and (8) and solve for y as follows:

3y^2 / 4,000 = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000)

0.00075y^2 = (1,000 / y) + 0.00025y^2

0.00075y^2 - 0.00025y^2 = 1,000 / y

0.0005y^2 = 1,000 / y

0.0005y^2 * y = 1,000

y^3 = 1,000 / 0.0005

y^3 = 2,000,000

y = 2,000,000^(1/3)

y = 125.99

Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 125.99 bouquets.

c-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Substituting y = 125.99 into equation (8), we have:

AC = (1,000 / 125.99) + (125.99^2 / 4,000)

AC = 11.91

Therefore, average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.

Mount Snow Inc. operates a Rocky Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift ticket pricing for the coming ski season. Investors would like to earn a 15% return on the company's $115 million of assets. The company incurs primarily fixed costs to groom the runs and operate the lifts. Mount Snow projects fixed costs to be $43,500,000 for the ski season. The resort serves 900,000 skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are $10 per guest. The resort had such a favorable reputation among skiers and snowboarders that it had some control over the lift ticket prices. Assume that Mount Snow's reputation has diminished and other resorts in the vicinity are charging only $66 per lift ticket. Mount Snow has become a price-taker and won't be able to charge more than its competitors. At the market price, Mount Snow's managers believe they will still serve 900,000 skiers and snowboarders each season.

Requried:
a. Would Mount Snow emphasize target costing or cost-plus pricing. Why?
b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?

Answers

Answer:

Mount Snow Inc.

a. Mount Snow would emphasize cost-plus pricing and not target costing.  The target costing considered the investors expected returns on investment.  Based on the target returns, customers were then charged any fee to meet the target profit, including all other costs.  Now that Mount Snow is a price-taker, it cannot meet the target returns.  It can only work with the cost-plus pricing strategy in order to rein in its costs.

b. As a price-taker, Mount Snow cannot charge more than $66.  It should charge $66.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Investors expected return on investment = 15%

Cost of investment = $115,000,000

Ski Season's Fixed costs = $43,500,000

No of skiers and snowboarders served = 900,000

Variable costs per guest = $10

Charges by other resorts in the vicinity = $66 per lift ticket

Total expected revenue              $59,400,000 ($66 * 900,000)

Total variable costs =  $9,000,000

Fixed costs =               43,500,000

Total costs =                                 $52,500,000

Profit =                                            $6,900,000

Target profit =                               $17,250,000 ($115,000,000 * 15%)

XYZ Manufacturing Corporation manufactures two vacuum cleaners, the Standard and the Super. The following information was gathered about the two products: Standard Super Budgeted sales in units 2,160 540 Budgeted selling price $500 $1,500 Budgeted contribution margin per unit $80 $250 Actual sales in units 1,820 980 Actual selling price $550 $1,400 The total sales-mix variance in terms of the contribution margin is ________.

Answers

Answer:

Sales mix variance= $71,400F

Explanation:

A sales mix variance occurs when products are sold in a mix different from the standard mix. It can be calculated as follows:

Step 1: Actual total quantity sold = 1,820 + 980 =2,800

Step 2: Divide the actual total quantity sold into standard mix

Standard- 2160/2160+54)×2,800=2,240

Super -(540/2160+540)×2,800=560

Step 3: calculate mix variance as tabulated  below

Product       Std mix    Actual mix      Mix var    Cont. Magin  Mix Vari

Standard     2,240     1,820                420U          80               33,600 U

Super          560         980                 420 F          250           105,000 F

Variance                                                                                      71,400F

Sales mix variance= $71,400F
