Answer:
$157,300
Explanation:
The computation of the interest capitalized is as follows:
= Accumulated expenditure × rate of interest
= ($610,000 × 12 months ÷ 12 months) + ($1,800,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months) + 0 × 13%
= ($610,000 + $600,000) × 13%
= $1,210,000 × 13%
= $157,300
Carpenters Company, a manufacturing company, acquired equipment on January 1, 2017 for $510,000. Estimated useful life of the equipment was seven years and the estimated residual value was $18,000. On January 1, 2020, after using the equipment for three years, the total estimated useful life has been revised to nine total years. Residual value remains unchanged. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2020.
Answer:
$31,238.10
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($510,000 - $18,000) / 7 = $70,285.71
Depreciation expense from 2017 to December 2019 would be = $70,285.71 x 3 = $210,857.14
Book value at the beginning of 2020 = $510,000 - $210,857.14 = $299,142.86
Depreciation expense from 2020 = ($299,142.86 - $18,000) / 9 = $31,238.10
Suppose that you are selling comic books door to door. You purchased all your comic books up front so your costs are currently all sunk. You are currently selling comic books for $3.50 apiece and you sell 25 comic books per day. You know that the elasticity of demand for comic books at your current price is -.6. Is your price too high or too low
Answer: The price can be said to be too low.
Explanation:
Since the elasticity of demand for comic books at the current price is -0.6, then we can say that the price is too low as the demand is inelastic.
An elasticity of demand that is less than one shows that a product has an inelastic demand. This simply means that the change in price would bring about a very little change to the quantity of the comic books that'll be bought.
g A company is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.5 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.93 million per year for 6 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.67% and a cost of equity of 11.31%. The debt-equity ratio is 0.62 and the tax rate is 40%. What is the net present value of the project
Answer:
$345,941
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is given below:
But before that the WACC is
Weight of equity is
= 1 ÷ (1 + 0.62)
= 0.61728
And,
Weight of debt is
= 1 - 0.6173
= 0.38275
Now
WACC is
= 0.61728 × 0.1131 + 0.38275 × 0.0567 × ( 1 - 0.4)
= 0.069814 + 0.013021
= 0.082835 or 8.2835%
Now the net present value is
= All year cash flows × PVIFA factor at 8.2835% for 6 years - initial investment made
= $1,930,000 × 4.583389 - $8,500,000
= $345,941
Sorting forms of payments
Q; Sort the forms of payment into the two categories
Answer down below
Have money at time of purchase
- cash
- debit card
- check
Borrow money to make purchase
- credit card
Answer:
Have money at time of purchase.
Cash
For cash to be used to purchase something, the person must already have the required amount of cash in their possession already.
Debit Card.
Debit cards pay for purchases by using funds in the owner's bank account. This means that for a purchase to be processed, the owner must have funds in their account in the first place.
Check
This works much like the debit card above. If one wants to use a check, their bank account needs to have funds at the time of purchase so that the funds can pay for the purchase.
Borrow money to make a purchase
Credit Card
Credit card represent a debt owed to the issuing company that will need to be paid off eventually. This means therefore that whenever you use a credit card to make a purchase, you are borrowing the money used to fund the purchase.

Red October Company has 2,000 shares of 6%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2016. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2016 or 2017. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2017 total:______.
a. $1,200.
b. $12,000.
c. $0.
d. $24,000.
Answer:
d.$24,000
Explanation:
The preferred stock is cumulative, in that preferred stockholders are entitled to arrears of dividends for years in which dividends were not paid let alone declared.
The dividends owed to preferred stockholders were for 2 years , 2016 and 2017, hence, we compute the outstanding preferred stock dividends for the 2 years as follows:
annual preferred stock dividends=number of stocks*par value*dividend rate
number of stocks=2,000
par value=$100
dividend rate=6%
annual preferred stock dividends=2,000*$100*6%
annual preferred stock dividends =$12,000
2 years' dividends=$12,000*2=$24,000

Accounting principle can be defined as a general guideline to be followed by accountants or financial institutions when they record and report their financial transactions. A change in an accounting principle involves a change in an accounting method used.
GAAP is an acronym for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, it comprises of the accounting standard, procedures and principles used by public institutions in the United States of America. The U.S GAAP is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Therefore, when accountants prepare and compile financial statements for public firms, it must be in line with United States of America, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
In this scenario, an entity prepares its financial statements on its income tax basis. The accompanying notes include a summary of significant accounting policies that discusses the basis of presentation and describes how that basis differs from GAAP. The dollar amount of the effects of the difference between the income tax basis and GAAP need not be quantified and included in either the notes to the financial statements or the auditor’s report.
Reynolds Manufacturers Inc. has estimated total factory overhead costs of $134,200 and expected direct labor hours of 12,200 for the current fiscal year.

Answer:
$17,400
Explanation:
Equation to be used is as follows: Beginning Prepaid Insurance Expense balance + Cash paid for insurance premium - Ending prepaid insurance balance = Insurance expense
$3,000 + Cash paid - $2,200 = $18,200
$800 + Cash paid = $18,200
Cash paid = $18,200 - $800
Cash paid = $17,400
So, the cash paid for insurance premiums during 2014 was $17,400
Blue Dog Manufacturing Corp. just reported a net income of $7,000,000, and its current stock price is $23.00 per share. Blue Dog is forecasting an increase of 25% for its net income next year, but it also expects it will have to issue 1,900,000 new shares of stock (raising its shares outstanding from 5,500,000 shares to 7,400,000 shares).
Required:
If Blue Dog’s forecast turns out to be correct and its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio does not change, what does management expect its stock price to be one year from now?
Answer:
$21.41
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price one year from now is as follows:
As we know that
Earnings per share = Earnings after tax ÷ Number of shares
= $7,000,000 ÷ 5,500,000 shares
= $1.27 per share
And,
P/E ratio = Current price per share ÷ Earnings per share
= $23 ÷ $1.27
= 18.11
Next Year:
Earnings after tax is
= $7,000,000 × 1.25
= $8,750,000
Now
Earnings per share = Earnings after tax ÷ Number of shares
= $8,750,000 ÷ 7,400,000 shares
= $1.18 per share
And,
P/E ratio = Current price per share ÷ Earnings per share
18.11 = Current price per share ÷ $1.18
So, the current price per share is
= $1.18 × 18.11
= $21.41

If a perfectly competitive firm achieves productive efficiency then Group of answer choices the price of the good it sells is equal to the benefit consumers receive from consuming the last unit of the good sold. it will raise its price in order to earn an economic profit. it is producing at minimum efficient scale. it is producing the good it sells at the lowest possible cost.
Answer:
it is producing at minimum efficient scale
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Due to the ease of entry and exit in a perfectly competitive market, in the long run, price is equal to the minimum point of the long run average cost curve.

Dawg Town produces dog tags and bowls with the name of your dog permanently etched into a stainless steel label. Indirect etching costs are allocated to tags and bowls based on the amount of time spent on the laser etching machine. The company has budgeted etching costs of $4,224 per month and expects to spend 4,800 hours on the etching labels each month. Each dog tag uses 24 minutes and each bowl uses 6 minutes of laser etching time. How much of the etching costs will be allocated to each dog tag
Answer:
the amount of etching cost that should be allocated to each dog tag is $0.35
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of etching cost that should be allocated to each dog tag is as followS:
= (Budgeted etching cost ÷ (spending hours × 60)) × number of minutes used
= ($4,224 ÷ (4,800 hours × 60)) × 24 minutes
= $0.35
Hence, the amount of etching cost that should be allocated to each dog tag is $0.35
Industries is calculating its Cost of Goods Manufactured at year-end.

During the year, the company purchased $ 68 comma 000 of direct materials. Direct labor for the year totaled $ 119 comma 000 , while manufacturing overhead amounted to $ 155 comma 000 . The Work in Process Inventory account had a beginning balance of $ 21 comma 000 and an ending balance of $ 19 comma 000 . Assume that Raw Materials Inventory contains only direct materials. Compute the Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year. (Hint: The first step is to calculate the direct materials used during the year.) "Goodrow"
Answer: $342,000
Explanation:
Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process inventory + Direct materials used + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead - Ending work in process inventory
Direct materials used = Beginning raw materials inventory + purchases of raw materials - ending raw material inventory
= 14,000 + 68,000 - 16,000
= $66,000
Cost of Goods manufactured:
= 21,000 + 66,000 + 119,000 + 155,000 - 19,000
= $342,000

Background information: In 2012, President Obama and Congress debated the issue of taxes and tax cuts.
In this speech, President Obama is discussing the effects of a potential tax increase.
A typical middle-class family of four would see its income taxes go up by $2,200. That's $2,200 out of people's pockets. That means less money for buying groceries, less money for filling prescriptions, less money for buying diapers. . . .
. . . Businesses can't afford it either. . . . Economists predict that if taxes go up on the middle class next year, consumers will spend nearly $200 billion less on things like cars and clothes and furniture - and that obviously means fewer customers. That cuts into business profits.That makes businesses less likely to invest and hire, which means fewer jobs.And that can drag our entire economy down.
—President Barack Obama,

Justin Slugger is about to sign a contract with the Columbus Homers. The professional baseball team has given him two options of joining the team with a lumpsum of $20,000,000 or an annuity of $2,500,000 for 15 years. The lumpsum will be paid one year after the signing day if Paul takes the first option. The first annuity will be paid on the signing day if he instead takes the second option. Which is the better option for Paul if an annual interest rate of 10% is utilized for the annuity? Do not consider taxes.
Answer:
Option 1 Present value = $18,181,818.18
Option2 Present value = $20,916,718.64
Option 2 which is an annuity for 15 years is a better option as it has a higher present value than option 1.
Explanation:
To decide the better option, we need to calculate the present value of option 1 which is the lumpsum and the present value of option 2 which is an annuity and compare these values.
The present value of option 1 can be calculated as follows,
Option 1 Present value = Future value / (1 + r)^t
Where,
r is the rate of return of interest or discount ratet is the time in yearsOption 1 Present value = 20,000,000 / (1+0.1)^1
Option 1 Present value = $18,181,818.18
The present value of option 2 can be calculate using the formula of present value of annuity due as the payments will be made at the start of the period. The formula for present value of annuity due is attached.
Option2 Present value = 2,500,000 + 2,500,000 * [(1 - (1+0.1)^-14) / 0.1]
Option2 Present value = $20,916,718.64
Option 2 which is an annuity for 15 years is a better option as it has a higher present value than option 1.
