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
An insurance company accepts an obligation to pay 10,000 at the end of each year for 2 years. The insurance company purchases a combination of the following two bonds at a total cost of X in order to exactly match its obligation: 1-year 4% annual coupon bond with a yield rate of 5% 2-year 6% annual coupon bond with a yield rate of 5% Calculate X.
Answer:
$18,594.10
Explanation:
Insurance company has to pay $10,000 for two year with rate of 5% since market rate remain same in both the bond.
X = PV (PMT, N, I/Y)
X = PV(10000, 2, 5)
X = 18594.1043
X = $18,594.10
a. On April 1, the company retained an attorney for a flat monthly fee of $3,500. Payment for April legal services was made by the company on May 12.
b. A $324,000 note payable requires 9.0% annual interest, or $2,430, to be paid at the 20th day of each month. The interest was last paid on April 20 and the next payment is due on May 20. As of April 30, $810 of interest expense has accrued.
c. Total weekly salaries expense for all employees is $14,000. This amount is paid at the end of the day on Friday of each five-day workweek. April 30 falls on a Tuesday, which means that the employees had worked two days since the last payday. The next payday is May 3.
Required:
The above three separate situations require adjusting journal entries to prepare financial statements as of April 30. For each situation, present both the April 30 adjusting entry and the subsequent entry during May to record the payment of the accrued expenses.
Answer:
Journal Entries for April and May
a. April 30:
Debit Legal Fee Expense $3,500
Credit Legal Fee Payable $3,500
To record the legal fee expense for April.
May 12:
Debit Legal Fee Payable $3,500
Credit Cash $3,500
To record the payment of April legal fee.
b. April 30:
Debit Interest Expense $2,430
Credit Cash $1,620
Credit Interest Expense Payable $810
To record accrued interest expense
May 20:
Debit Interest Expense Payable $810
Credit Cash $810
To record the payment of accrued interest.
c. April 30:
Debit Salary Expense $5,600
Credit Salary Expense Payable $5,600
To record the salary expense for 2 days accrued.
May 3:
Debit Salary Expense Payable $5,600
Debit Salary Expense $8,400
Credit Cash $14,000
To record the payment of salary for the week.
Explanation:
We have used the journal entries to adjust accrued expenses and also to record the actual payment when they occur. Journal entries help to record transactions as they occur and to make adjustments at the end of the accounting period so that accruals, prepayments, deferred revenue, and depreciation expense are properly recorded when they occur and not when payment is made.
Failure to prepare an adjusting entry at the end of a period to record an accrued revenue would cause Group of answer choices net income to be overstated. an understatement of assets and an understatement of revenues. an understatement of revenues and an understatement of liabilities. an understatement of revenues and an overstatement of liabilities.
Answer:
an understatement of assets and an understatement of revenues.
Explanation:
Financial accounting is an accounting technique used for analyzing, summarizing and reporting of financial transactions like sales costs, purchase costs, payables and receivables of an organization using standard financial guidelines such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Examples of financial statements includes Balance sheet, cash-flow and income statement.
Financial reporting can be defined as the formal communication or disclosure of financial information and statements to present and potential users such as investors and creditors.
Hence, failure to prepare an adjusting entry at the end of a period to record an accrued revenue would cause an understatement of assets and an understatement of revenues.

g Your financial advisor offers you two different investment options. Plan A offers a $17,000 annual payment, in perpetuity. Plan B offers $30,000 annual payments for 18 years. Both plans will make their first payment one year from today. What discount rate would make you indifferent to these two plans
Answer:
4.76%
Explanation:
The requirement in this question is determining the discount rate which gives the same present value in both cases since discount rates discount future cash flows to present value terms.
PV of a pertuity=annual cash flow/discount rate
PV of a pertuity=$17,000/r
PV of ordinary annuity=annual cash flow*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV of ordinary annuity=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
$17,000/r=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
multiply boths side by r
17000=30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18
divide both sides by 30000
17000/30000=1-(1+r)^-18
0.566666667=1-(1+r)^-18
by rearraging the equation we have the below
(1+r)^-18=1-0.566666667
(1+r)^-18=0.433333333
divide indices on both sides by -18
1+r=(0.433333333)^(1/-18)
1+r=1.047554315
r=1.047554315-1
r=4.76%
On May 1, Cobb and Mott formed a partnership and agreed to share profits and losses in the ratio of 3:7, respectively. Cobb contributed a parcel of land that cost him $10,000. Mott contributed $40,000 cash. The land was sold for $18,000 on that same date, immediately after formation of the partnership. What amount should be recorded in Cobb's capital account on formation of the partnership
Answer: $18000
Explanation:
We should note that the value of the contributed assets would be based on the fair values.
With regards to the question, we are already informed that the land was sold for $18,000 which in this case is the fair value of the asset.
Therefore, the amount that should be recorded in Cobb's capital account on formation of the partnership would be $18000.

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -$120,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $64,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $67,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $56,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $45,000
IRR = 35.27%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
among the major drawbacks of highly centralized organizational structure is that it allows for tight control from the top that makes it easy to fix accountability when things do not go well. allows top executives to retain authority for most strategic and operating decisions. can lengthen response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions. relies on the assumption that most company personnel have neither the time nor the inclination to direct and properly control the work they are performing and, further, that they lack the knowledge and judgment to make wise decisions about how best to do their work. is based on strict enforcement of detailed procedures backed by rigorous managerial oversight as the most reliable way to keep the daily execution of strategy on track.
Answer: can lengthen response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions
Explanation:
Centralization simply refers to a form of organizational scenario where there is one person at the top that usually makes the major decisions for the company. The powers are usually held by those at the top and messages are passed to the lower level to be implemented.
One major drawback is that it can lengthen the response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions.
A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour
Explanation:
A. Computation of labor productivity under each system
Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers
Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers
Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

A.P. Hill Corporation uses a process-costing system. Products are manufactured in a series of three departments. The following data relate to Department Two for the month of February: Beginning work-in-process (70% complete) 10,000 units Goods started in production 80,000 units Ending work-in-process (60% complete) 5,000 units The beginning work-in-process was valued at $66,000, consisting of $20,000 of transferred-in costs, $30,000 of materials costs, and $16,000 of conversion costs. Materials are added at the beginning of the process; conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. Costs added to production during February were Transferred-in $16,000 Materials used 88,000 Conversion costs 50,000 Question Assume that the company uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation. Under FIFO, how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February
Answer:
$64,360
Explanation:
Calculation for how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February
First step is to calculate FIFO EUP for conversion
under the FIFO method
Beginning WIP 3,000
(10,000 units × 30%)
Started and completed 75,000
(80,000units-5,000 units=75,000 units)
(75,000 units × 100% )
Ending WIP 3,000
(5,000 units × 60% )
FIFO EUP for conversion 81,000
(3,000+75,000+3,000)
Now let calculate the conversion cost
Conversion cost =$16,000 + [3,000 Beginning WIP +75,000 Started and completed*($50,000/81,000)]
Conversion cost =[$16,000 + (78,000 × $.62)]
Conversion cost=[$16,000 + $48,360
conversion cost=$64,360
Therefore how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February will be $64,360

Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following:
Machine A could be purchased for $60,500. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,100 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,050.
Machine B could be purchased for $55,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,400 in year three, $10,500 in year six, and $12,600 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year.
Answer:
Esquire should purchase Machine A.
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations.
Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the present value of Machine A & Machine B.
In the attached excel file, the following is used:
Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n ……………………………. (1)
Where:
r = interest rate = 8%, or 0.08
n = the year in focus
From part 1 of the attached excel file, we have:
Net present value of Machine A = -$71,788.85
From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:
Net present value of Machine B = -$75,092.36
Since the Net present value of Machine A of -$71,788.85 is less than the Net present value of Machine B of -$75,092.36, Esquire should purchase Machine A.

Its price–earnings ratio for 2017 is 24. What is the market price per share of stock?
Answer:
$74,16
Explanation:
Note : I have attached the full question as images below !
Price Earning ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share
= $24
Where,
Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to Common Stock holders ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding
therefore,
Earnings per share = $1,640 ÷ 530 = $3.09
so,
Market Price per share = Price Earning ratio x Earnings per share
Market Price per share = $24 x $3.09
= $74,16

(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.
Explanation:
Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
This can be calculated using the following future value formula:
FV = P / i ........................... (1)
Where;
FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?
P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200
i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000
Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value = $192,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125
n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:
$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)
$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075
M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075
M = $150.98
Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

Webber Technologies is an emerging manufacturer of 3.5 inch diagonal touch screens for mobile communication devices/media players. 2011 industry sales were reported at 17.50 million units. This number represents an 17.7 % increase over 2010 industry sales. Webber Technologies had a 2010 market share of 5.9 %, compared with a 2011 market share of 4.2%. What was the change in unit sales for Webber Technologies, from 2010 to 2011, attributable to the change in industry sales
Answer:
Industry Sales (2011) = 17,500,000
Industry Sales (2010) = Sales of 2011/1+growth = 17,500,000/1+17.7% = 17,500,000/1.177 = $14868309.26083263 = $14,868,309.26
Company Sales (2011) = 17,500,000 * 4.2% = $735,000
Company Sales (2010) = 14,868,309.26 * 5.9% = $877,230.25
Change in units = Company sales in 2011 - Company Sales in 2010 = $735,000 - $877,230.25 = $142,230.25
Change due to change in Industry growth = Company Sales in 2010 * 17.7% = $877,230.25 * 17.7% = 155,269.75
So, there is net increase of 155,269.75 units of sales due to industry growth.
Consider the following yields to maturity on various one-year zero-coupon securities: Security: Treasury AAA Corporate BBB Corporate B Corporate Yield (%): 4.6 4.8 5.6 6.2 The price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of a one-year, zero-coupon, corporate bond with a BBB rating is closest to:
Answer:
94.70%
Explanation:
The computation of the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is given below:
= Price ÷ Face value × 100
= (Face value ÷ (1 + YTM)) ÷ Face value × 100
= ($1,000 ÷ (1 + 5.6%)) ÷ ($1,000) × 100
= $946.97 ÷ $1,000 × 100
= 94.70%
Hence, the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is 94.70%
Here we assume the face value be $1,000
6. Classify each of the following statements as positive or normative. Explain. a. Society faces a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. b. A reduction in the rate of money growth will reduce the rate of inflation. c. The Federal Reserve should reduce the rate of money growth. d. Society ought to require welfare recipients to look for jobs. e. Lower tax rates encourage more work and more saving.
Answer:
Positive
b. Positive
c. Normative
d. Normative
e. Positive
Explanation:
Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.
For example, there is a theory known as Phillips curve. It is when society faces a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. Also it is known that lower tax increases disposable income which increases savings or consumption.
Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - The Federal Reserve should reduce the rate of money growth is an opinion
Rocket Products manufactures three types of remote-control devices: Economy, Standard, and Deluxe. The company, which uses activity-based costing, has identified five activities (and related cost drivers). Each activity, its budgeted cost, and related cost driver is identified below.

The overhead cost that would be assigned to the Standard product line is closest to:
Answer:
See calculation below
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, overhead cost assigned to the Standard product line
= Total overhead × Units produced for standard product line / Total units produced
= 3,880,000 × 5,000 / $1,000 + $5,000 + 7,000
= $1,492,307
Listed below are three items. Required: Classify each of the items as Revenue, Expense, Other Changes to Stockholders' Equity (other than revenue or expense), or None of These: Revenue Expense Other Changes to Stockholders' Equity None of These Deferred Revenue Supplies Expense Issuance of Stock
Answer:
Classification of items as Revenue, Expense, Other Changes to Stockholders' Equity (other than revenue or expense), or None of These:
1. Deferred Revenue = Revenue
2. Supplies Expense = Expense
3. Issuance of Stock = Changes to Stockholders' Equity
Explanation:
Revenue represents the gross income that an entity receives from the sale of goods and services to customers. Revenue is therefore classified as either Sales Revenue or Service Revenue. It is an important item in the computation of the net income of the entity at the end of a financial period.
Expense represents the gross costs incurred by an entity for the sale of goods and services to its customers. It is usually deducted from the Revenue to obtain the net income.
Changes to Stockholders' Equity occur from revenues and expenses. They also occur from other business transactions like the issuance of stock to stockholders.
The Cinci Company issues $100,000, 10% bonds at 103 on April 1, 2020. The bonds are dated January 1, 2020 and mature eight years from that date. Straight-line amortization is used. Interest is paid annually each December 31. Compute the bond carrying value as of December 31, 2023.
Answer:
$101,593.75
Explanation:
Total amortization period = 8 Years = 8 x 12 = 96 months
Number of months of Amortization = 9 months in 2020 + (3*12 months) till 2023 = 9 months + 36 months = 45 months
Premium on bonds payable = Issue Price - Face Value
Premium on bonds payable = ($100,000*103%) - $100,000
Premium on bonds payable = $103,000 - $100,000
Premium on bonds payable = $3,000
Unamortized premium = Premium on bonds payable - Amortized premium
Unamortized premium = $3,000 - $3,000*45/96
Unamortized premium = $3,000 - $1,406.25
Unamortized premium = $1,593.75
Carrying value on December 31,2023 = $100,000 + $1,593.75
Carrying value on December 31,2023 = $101,593.75
Margot starts a new business and contributes $20,000 in cash; she also borrows $25,000 from her local bank. She utilizes the cash to purchase supplies for $5,000 and a computer system for $10,000. After these transactions, the total claims to the company's total resources are:
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, total resources is computed as;
Total resources = Cash + Purchase supplies + Equipment computer system
But
Cash = $20,000 + $25,000 - $5,000 - $10,000 = $30,000
Total resources = $30,000 + $5,000 + $10,000 = $45,000
