At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $2,150,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $10,500; and sales for the year total $51,850,000. Bad Debt Expense is estimated at 1/4 of 1% of sales.
A. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts.
B. Determine the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense.
C. Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable.

Answers

Answer:

a. Amount of bad  debts = Sales * (Bad debts %) = $51,850,000 * 0.25% = $129,625. Thus, the amount of the adjusting entry  for uncollectible accounts is $129,625.

b. The adjusted balances are as follow

Accounts Receivable                        $2,150,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts    $119,125  (129,625 - 10,500)

Bad Debt Expense                            $129,625

c. Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Balance of accounts receivables  - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Net realizable value of accounts receivable = $2,150,000 - $119,125

Net realizable value of accounts receivable = $2,030,875

Suppose you have two friends who have the same underlying ability, took the same courses in college, and have the same GPA. One of them decides to go to a business school for an MBA, while the other one chooses to pursue a PhD in English literature. Given that the expected earnings of an MBA are much higher than the expected earnings of an English PhD, is one of your friends being irrational?

Answers

Answer:

Rational is based on the logical preference. Being irrational does not means that the choice is made based on monetary preference. It is more logical than monetary.

Explanation:

The two friends took same courses in college but after the completion of college degree one decides to go for MBA and other pursues PhD in English. The expected earnings of MBA are higher than PhD but one of friend who chooses the PhD has not considered the logical decision making based on money. He might have chose the PhD because he is more interested in becoming a professor rather than a business professional.

Required:
a. What is the sales activity variance for the basic model?
b. Is the sales activity variance for the basic model favorable or unfavorable? What is the sales activity variance for the deluxe model?
c. What is the sales mix variance for the basic model?
d. What is the sales quantity variance for the basic model?
e. What is the sales mix variance for the deluxe model based?
f. What is the sales quantity variance for the deluxe model?

Answers

Answer:

A. $1,600,000

B. Unfavorable

$2,400,000

C. $1,344,000

D. $256,000

E. $2,520,000

F. $120,000

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the sales activity variance for the basic model

Sales activity variance=(7,000 - 8,000) *($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales activity variance=$1,000*$600

Sales activity variance= $1,600,000

Therefore Sales activity variance for the basic model will be $1,600,000

b. The sales activity variance for the basic model is UNFAVORABLE reason been that the sales amount is lesser than the budgeted amount

Calculation for What is the sales activity variance for the deluxe model

Sales activity variance=(2,800 - 2,000) *($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales activity variance=800*3,000

Sales activity variance= $2,400,000

Therefore the sales activity variance for the deluxe model will be $2,400,000

c. Calculation for What is the sales mix variance for the basic model

Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 8,000/10,000 *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 80% *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales mix variance=[7,000 - 80% *(9,800)] *($1,600)

Sales mix variance=[7,000 -7,840 ] *($1,600)

Sales mix variance=840*$1,600

Sales mix variance= $1,344,000

Therefore the sales mix variance for the basic model will be $1,344,000

d. Calculation for What is the sales quantity variance for the basic model

Sales quantity variance=(9,800 - 10,000) x (8,000/10,000) x ($8,000 - $6,400)

Sales quantity variance= $256,000

Therefore the sales quantity variance for the basic model will be $256,000

e. Calculation for What is the sales mix variance for the deluxe model based

Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 2,000/10,000 *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 20% *(7,000 + 2,800)] *($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales mix variance=[2,800 - 20% *(9,800)] *($3,000)

Sales mix variance=[2,800 -1,960 ] *($3,000)

Sales mix variance=840*$3,000

Sales mix variance= $2,520,000

Therefore the sales mix variance for the deluxe model based will be $2,520,000

f. Calculation for What is the sales quantity variance for the deluxe model

Sales quantity variance=(9,800 - 10,000) x (2,000/10,000) x ($12,000 - $9,000)

Sales quantity variance= $120,000

Therefore the sales quantity variance for the deluxe model will be $120,000

A review of Parson Corporation's accounting records found that at a volume of 90,000 units, the variable and fixed cost per unit amounted to $8 and $4, respectively. On the basis of this information, what amount of total cost would Parson anticipate at a volume of 85,000 units

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $1,040,000

Explanation:

For 90,000 units:

Unitary variable cost= $8

Unitary fixed cost= $4

First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost:

Total fixed cost= 4*90,000= $360,000

Now, we can determine the total cost for 85,000 units:

Total cost= 85,000*8 + 360,000

Total cost= $1,040,000

(f) $251,100

(g) $19,100

(h) $81,800

(i) $412,060

Explanation:

$59,750 + $50,000 - $198,600 = $88,850

$198,600 - $224,960 = $26,360

$224,960 - $189,300 = $35,660

$73,230 + $90,370 + $84,670 = $248,270

$248,270 + $19,770 = $268,040

$268,040 - $16,940 = $251,100

$133,500 + $104,900 - $257,500 = $19,100

$257,500 - $339,300 = $81,800

$339,300 + $72,760 = $412,060

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for the period:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (80,000*4) / 20,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $16 per unit

Now, we can allocate overhead to each month:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

January= 6,000*16= $96,000

February= 7,000*16= $112,000

March= 3,000*16= $48,000

April= 4,000*16= $64,000

The total unitary manufacturing costs are constant:

Total unitary manufacturing cost= 12 + 16

Total unitary manufacturing cost= $28

Marge owns land and a building (held for investment) with an adjusted basis of $75,000 and a fair market value of $250,000. The property is subject to a mortgage of $400,000. Because Marge is in arrears on the mortgage payments, the creditor is willing to accept the property in return for canceling the amount of the mortgage.
a. How can the adjusted basis of the property be less than the amount of the mortgage?
b. If the creditor's offer is accepted, what are the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for Marge?
c. Does it matter in (b) if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse?

A $600,000 state lottery prize is spread evenly over twelve years ($50,000 a year) (Alternative 1), or you may take a lump distribution of $452,000 (Alternative 2). If you can earn 8 percent, calculate the present values of both alternatives. Use Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the present values of both alternatives is shown below:

For alternative one, the lump sum amount is

= Yearly payment × PVIFA factor at 8% for 12 years

= $50,000 × 7.5361

= $376,805

And, in the alternative 2, the lumpsum amount i.e. present value is $452,000

So as we can see that the alternative 2 is better as the lumspsum amount is high as compared with the alternative 1

g Mystery Inc has a beta of 1.1. The firm just paid a dividend of 60 cents and the dividends are expected to grow at 5.5% per year. The expected return on the market is 10% and treasury bills have a yield of 5%. The company's current stock price is $45. Calculate the cost of equity using the dividend growth model.

Answers

Answer:

6.91%

Explanation:

The formula for share price using the dividend growth model stated below can be used to determine the cost of equity as well whereby the formula is rearranged in order to make the cost of equity the subject as shown thus:

share price=expected dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)

share price=$45

expected dividend=last dividend*(1+dividend growth rate)

expected dividend=$0.60*(1+5.5%)=0.633

cost of equity=the unknown

dividend growth rate=5.5%

45=0.633/(cost of equity-5.5%)

45*(cost of equity-5.5%)=0.633

cost of equity-5.5%=0.633/45

cost of equity=(0.633/45)+5.5%

cost of equity=6.91%

Marketing and common sense

Answers

1. Elevator pitch. You should be marketing all the time — wherever you are. Therefore, you need a compelling elevator pitch. Research shows the average attention span of an adult is about 6 to 8 seconds. That’s all the time you have to grab someone’s attention. If you successfully engage them, then you only have a little over a minute to really sell them on your product or service. So you need to invest the time to craft a killer elevator pitch. The return on your investment will pay huge dividends in terms of creating business opportunities.

2. Leverage Community. You don’t have to think big when it comes to your marketing efforts. Think locally. What’s going on in your community? Sponsor a Little League team or a 5k charity walk/run. Print bookmarks and leave them at the local library. If you understand who your ideal customer is, think about how and where they spend their time. Then search for opportunities to be there with your marketing message.

3. Collaborative Marketing. Put together a group of synergistic, non-competitive businesses in your area and agree to cross-promote. You can use coupons, fliers, reciprocal website links or even offer bundled promotions. By collaborating with each other you can expand your customer base because you’ll be reaching new people.

4. Networking. I’m a huge fan of networking. I don’t think there is any better way to build a business than to get out there, shake some hands, and get known. Networking requires a time commitment and it doesn’t provide instant gratification, but a strong network is one of the greatest assets any business person can have.

5. Give a Speech. A lot of people hate public speaking. However, there are lots of groups you are looking for qualified, subject-matter experts who can present to their groups. So take a deep breath and volunteer. You don’t have to be a pro as long as the information you share is helpful to the audience. And the upside — the more you do it the easier it gets. Plus it positions you as a credible authority in your field

Assume the smart watch industry is a perfectly competitive industry that uses a specialized input. If this industry experiences an increase in demand, we might expect that in the long run: Multiple Choice neither input nor output prices will increase. both input and output prices will increase. only input prices will increase. only output prices will increase.

Answers

Answer:

Option B, both input and output prices will increase

Explanation:

Since the demand far smart watches is increasing, the price of watches will escalate to cater the opportunity cost. With the rising demand for smart watch, the demand for specialized input will also increase. Considering the growth in demand for specialized input, its cost shall also escalate to take the benefit of opportunity. Along with raw material, variable costs such as transportation, manpower, electricity etc.  will also increase both in input (bringing raw material and producing final product) and output (export of the final product)

In nut shell, both the input and output price will increase.

If you deposit $5,000 4 years from today, how much can you withdraw 10 years from today if interest is 6 percent per year compounded annually?
