Legal fees of $5080 were paid for title investigation and making the purchase. Architect's fees were $46500. Title insurance cost $3500, and liability insurance during construction cost $3800. Excavation cost $15660. The contractor was paid $4200000. An assessment made by the city for pavement was $9500. Interest costs during construction were $257000. The cost of the land that should be recorded by Sheffield Corp. is
Answer:
$1,470,980
Explanation:
Calculation for what The cost of the land that should be recorded by Sheffield Corp. is
Using this formula
Cost of the land=Purchased land+ Payment for buildings on the land-Salvage sold+Legal fees+Insurance cost+Assessment cost
Let plug in the formula
Cost of the land=$1,345,000 + $116,000 - $8,100 + $5,080 + $3,500 + $9,500
Cost of the land= $1,470,980
Therefore The cost of the land that should be recorded by Sheffield Corp. is $1,470,980
Project1 costs, Year 1 through Year 4: $100,000; $100,000;$100,000;$100,000 Project1 revenue, Year 1 through Year 4: $0; $5,000;$50,000;$110,000 Calculate ROI for Project1, using a 7 percent discount rate. Discount factor, Year 1 through Year 4: 0.93; 0.87; 0.82; 0.76 Fill in the following blanks - just type the numbers without labels, dollar signs, commas, etc.
Answer and Explanation:
Without discounting :
Return on investment(ROI) for year 1 = -$100000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 2 = -$95000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 3 =-$50000
Return on investment(ROI) for year 4 =$10000
With discounting(PV/(1+r)^n):
Return on investment for year 1 = 0.93×-$100000= -$93000
Return on investment for year 2= 0.87×-$95000= -$82650
Return on investment for year 3 = 0.82×-$50000=-$41000
Return on investment for year 4=

You are contemplating between four possible interest rate structures. The rates are as follows: annual effective rate of 12% annual nominal rate of 12% compounded monthly annual nominal rate of 8% compounded quarterly annual nominal rate of 10% compounded semiannually You wish to deposit $1,000 into a fund for 2 years. Calculate the difference between the largest and smallest possible accumulated values of your deposit at the end of 2 years.
Answer:
The difference between the largest and smallest possible accumulated values of the deposit at the end of 2 years is $98
Explanation:
Annual effective rate of 12%
FV = PV * (1+i)^n
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.12)^2
FV = $1,000 * 1.2544
FV = $1,254.
Annual nominal rate of 12% compounded monthly
FV = PV * (1+i)^nm
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.01)2^12
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.01)^24
FV = $1,000 * 1.2697
FV = $1,270
Annual nominal rate of 8% compounded quarterly
FV = PV * (1+i)^nm
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.02)2*4
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.02)^8
FV = $1,000 * 1.171659
FV = $1,172
Annual nominal rate of 10% compounded semiannually
FV = PV * (1+i)^n
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.05)^2*2
FV = $1,000 * (1+0.05)^4
FV = $1,000 * 1.215506
FV = $1,216
So, the difference between the largest and smallest possible accumulated values is $98 ($1,270 - $1,172)

This is when the fair value of the asset is considered. The purpose is to recognize assets at the values they be sold or bought in the market.
In July 2012, a small chocolate factory receives a large order for chocolate bars to be delivered in November. The spot price for Cocoa is $2,400 per metric ton. It will need 10 metric tons of Cocoa in September to fill this order. Because of limited storage capacity and volatility in the world cocoa prices, the company decides the best strategy is to buy 10 call options for $53 each with strike price of $2,400 (equal to the current price) with a maturity date of September 2012. When the options expire in September, how much will the company pay (including the cost of the options) for cocoa if the spot price in September proves to be $2,600
Answer:
$24,530, $23,530
Explanation:
Incomplete word "and if the spot price in September proves to be $2,300."
Note that Call options will be exercised only if the price on expiry is greater than strike price
Strike price = $2400
Premium paid = $53 for each contract, so the total premium paid = $530 for 10 contracts
CASE 1
Price = $2600
As price on expiry=2600 > Strike price=2400
Call option will be exercised.
Company will pay = $2400 * 10+530 = $24,530
CASE 2
Price = $2300
As price on expiry=2300 < Strike price=2400
Call option will not be exercised and will purchase from open market
Company will pay = $2300 * 10+530 = $23,530
Describe what will happen to total revenue in the following situations: 1. Price decreases and demand is elastic 2. Price decreases and demand is inelastic 3. Price increases and demand is elastic 4. Price increases and demand is inelastic 5. Price increases and demand is unitary elastic 6. Price decreases and demand is perfectly inelastic 7. Price increases and demand is perfectly elastic
Answer:
Total revenue increases
If prices are reduced, demand would increase more than the fall in price and total revenue would increase.
2. Total revenue falls. If price is reduced, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and as a result total revenue would fall.
3. Total revenue falls. If prices are increased, demand would fall more than the rise in price and total revenue would fall.
4, Total revenue increases. If demand is inelastic and prices are increased, the rise in price would be greater than the fall in demand. As a result, total revenue increases
5. no change in total revenue . a increase in price leads to an equal change in quantity demanded and there would be no change in total revenue
6. fall. If prices decreases, there would be no change in quantity demanded and total revenue would fall
7. total revenue falls to zero. If prices are increased, demand would fall to zero and total revenue would fall
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes. If prices are reduced, demand would increase more than the fall in price and total revenue would increase. If prices are increased, demand would fall more than the rise in price and total revenue would fall.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one. If price is increased, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and total revenue would increase. If price is reduced, total revenue would fall.
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded. If price increases, there would be an equal change in quantity demanded, total revenue would remain the same
Answer:
a. The overall income will drop.
b. The overall income will drop.
c. The overall income will drop.
d. The overall income will rise.
e. The overall income will not change.
f. The overall income will not change.
g. The overall income will not change.
Explanation:
a. If there is an elastic demand for the product and the price goes down, the overall revenue will go down. This is due to the fact that when there is a decrease in price, there is a rise in the amount that is desired. This is due to the fact that customers are sensitive to changes in price and will begin purchasing a greater quantity of the item or service after the price has dropped. Yet, because of the drop in price, there will be a reduction in the overall income that is generated from the sale of the product or service. This is due to the fact that the increase in quantity will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in cost that will result from the sale.
b. If there is no change in the level of demand, but the price is decreased, total revenue will likewise go down. This is due to the fact that if there is a fall in price, there will be an increase in the amount that is desired. Unfortunately, the increase in quantity will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in price, which will result in a lower overall income. This is due to the fact that the increase in supply will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in cost.
c. If there is no significant change in demand, then higher prices will not significantly affect overall income. This is due to the fact that as the price goes up, the amount of the good that is desired will go down. This is due to the fact that customers are sensitive to changes in price and will begin purchasing less of the item or service as the price rises. Even if the rise in price is more than the reduction in quantity desired, the overall income will still fall because of the lower amount of the good or service that is being purchased.
d. If there is no change in the level of demand, a rise in price will lead to an increase in total income. This is due to the fact that if the price goes higher, the quantity needed will go down, but not by an amount that is sufficient to compensate for the price going up. As a consequence, there will be an increase in total income as a direct consequence of the price rise.
e. if the demand is unitary elastic and the price goes up, the overall revenue won't change but it will stay the same. This is due to the fact that whenever there is a rise in price, there is a corresponding fall in the number of goods that are desired. As a consequence, there will be no change in overall income as a result of the rise in price since it will be balanced out by the drop in quantity.
f. If there is no change in the level of demand, regardless of whether the price goes up or down, overall revenue will stay the same. This is due to the fact that even if prices go down, consumers will still want the same amount of the good or service. Thus, there will be no change in overall income as a consequence of the fall in price since this will be balanced out by the demand for the same amount.
g. If there is no change in demand despite a rise in price, businesses will get the same amount of revenue overall. This is due to the fact that once the price is raised, customers will no longer purchase any of the product or service. Because of this, there will be no change in overall income as a consequence of the rise in price since there will be no change in the amount that is required.
A purely domestic firm that sources its products, sells its products, and raises its funds domestically. . Which of the following is not correct?
a. can face stiff competition from a multinational corporation that can source its products in one country, sell them in several countries, and raise its funds in a third country.
b. cannot be more competitive than a MNC on its home turf even if it has superior knowledge of the local market.
c. can still face exchange rate risk, just like a MNC.
d. can still face country risk, just like a MNC.
Answer:
b. cannot be more competitive than a MNC on its home turf even if it has superior knowledge of the local market.
Explanation:
In the given scenario a company that sources its products, sells its products, and raises its funds domestically will most likely have more competitive advantage than a multinational corporation.
This is due to the fact that it has superior knowledge of the local market.
MNCs will have a hard time adapting to the local market to compete effectively with the local companies.
However local businesses and MNCs will face common challenges like country risk and exchange rate risk.
Because MNCs have ability to source its products in one country, sell them in several countries, and raise its funds in a third country they will provide a stiff competition

At the end of January, the first month of the business year, the usual adjusting entry transferring rent earned from the unearned rent account to a revenue account was omitted. Indicate which items will be incorrectly stated, because of the error, on (a) the income statement for January and (b) the balance sheet as of January 31. Also indicate whether the items in error will be overstated or understated.
Answer and Explanation:
a. In the case of the income statement
Revenues would be understated as the revenue is not credited
Expenses would remain unchanged
Net income would be understated due to the revenues
b. In the case of the balance sheet
Asset would remain unchanged
Liabilities would be overstated as the rent would not be transferred
Owner equity would be understated as there is a lower net income that low the retained earnings so automatically the owner equity would be understated
Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $345,675 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,700 hours. For the year, $372,125 of overhead costs are incurred and 131,500 hours are used. (a) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.) Manufacturing overhead rate $enter a dollar amount rounded to 2 decimal places per machine hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.75 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead costs are estimated to total $345,675 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,700 hours.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 345,675/125,700
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.75 per machine hour
On January 1, year 8, Derek Co.’s defined benefit pension plan had plan assets with a fair value of $750,000, and a projected benefit obligation of $875,000. In addition: Actual and expected return on plan assets – 7% Interest cost – 9% Service costs - $24,000 Unamortized prior service cost - $120,000 Employer contributions to the plan - $45,000 Distributions to employees from the plan - $60,000 Unamortized prior service cost is being amortized over the expected remaining service lives of covered employees, which consists of a total of 9 employees: 2 employees are each expected to have 9 years remaining 3 employees are each expected to have 6 years remaining 4 employees are each expected to have 1 year remaining How much amortization of prior service cost will be included in Derek Co.’s pension expense for year 8?
Answer: $27,000
Explanation:
Amortization of prior cost = (No. of employees / Total number of years left) * Unamortized prior service cost
Total number of years left:
2 employees are each expected to have 9 years remaining = 2 * 9
= 18 years
3 employees are each expected to have 6 years remaining = 3 * 6
= 18 years
4 employees are each expected to have 1 year remaining = 4 * 1
= 4 years
Total number of years = 18 + 18 + 4
= 40 years
Amortization of prior cost = (9 / 40) * 120,000
= $27,000

A Saudi Arabian government-run hospital hired American Scott Nelson to be an engineer. The parties signed the employment agreement in the United States. On the job, Nelson reported that the hospital had significant safety defects. For this, he was arrested, jailed, and tortured for 39 days. Upon his release to the United States, Nelson sued the Saudi government for personal injury. Can Nelson sue Saudi Arabia
Answer:
No, Nelson cannot sue. The US Supreme Court ruled that regardless of the monstrous activities carried out by the Saudi government and the fact that they tend to solve commercial disputes by putting people in jail and torturing them, the events happened in Saudi Arabia. And they were not related to the contract signed by Nelson, the police and the hospital are considered sperate entities by the US laws.
The court recognized that Saudi behavior was really bad, but they had jurisdiction over it. This is a strictly police matter. Saudi Arabia and most Arab states are known for these type of activities, but people continue to go to work there because they offer high salaries. They forget that a golden cage is still a prison.

A company that utilizes carbon fiber 3-D printing wants to have money available two years from now to add new equipment. The company currently has $650,000 in a capital account and it plans to deposit $200,000 now and another $200,000 one year from now. The total amount available in two years, provided it returns a compounded rate of 15% per year, is closest to
Answer:
Total amount available in two years is $1,354,125.
Explanation:
The total amount available in two years can be calculated as follows:
Total amount in the deposit now = Current deposit + Amount planned to be deposited = $650,000 + $200,000 = $850,000
Future value of the total amount the deposit now = Total amount in the deposit now * (1 + Annual interest rate)^Number of years the deposit used = $850,000 + (1 + 15%)^2 = $1,124,125
Future value of next year's deposit = Next year's deposit * (1 + Annual interest rate)^Number of years the deposit used = $200,000 * (1 + 15%)^1 = $230,000
Total amount available in two years = Future value of the total amount the deposit now + Future value of next year's deposit = $1,124,125 + $230,000 = $1,354,125

The next dividend payment by Hoffman, Inc., will be $2.65 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.5 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $43.15 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.6%
Explanation:
The next dividend payment for Hoffman is $2.65
The growth rate is 4.5%
The stock currently sells at $43.15
The required return can be calculated as follows
= 2.65/43.15 + 4.5/100
= 0.0614 + 0.045
= 0.1064× 100
= 10.6%
Hence the required return is 10.6%
Brody Corp. uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,030 units that were 75% completed. 10,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 400 units that were 40% completed. What would be the equivalent units for conversion cost using the weighted average method
Answer:
Equivalent units for conversion cost is 10,790 units
Explanation:
Completed and Transferred (1,030 + 10,000 - 400) x 100 % = 10,630
Ending Work In Process 400 x 40% = 160
Total equivalent units for conversion cost = 10,790

Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
The Conversion costs applied on the direct materials into finished products is transformation price.The Period costs include costs for research and innovation, marketing, allocation, and also customer service.The direct material, extra production overhead, is equivalent to Prime costs.In the installation of a car metal, tires, motors, poling, floorboards, and dashboards have been used. Even though manufacturing companies can trace the cost to multiple ones or batches of automobiles for components (such as cargo and importation duties), such expense to cars are considered Direct costs.The costs are the costs, that can be tracked instantly to a(n) Cost objects are Direct costs.Initially, Product costs are known to income statement Assets.A much less accurate cost figure for both the Cost Object is allocated to the Assigned.Indirect costs could not be traced directly to Cost objects.The prices of the entire supply (Total costs) chain comprise the prices of all resources.In the fall of 2014, China and the United States agreed to expand the Information Technology Agreement to drop tariffs on a number of technology products. This is an example of_________ reducing protectionist measures.
Answer:
Free trade policy.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
In the fall of 2014, China and the United States agreed to expand the Information Technology Agreement to drop tariffs on a number of technology products. Therefore, this is an example of free trade policy reducing protectionist measures.
Free trade policy includes the adoption and implementation of tariffs and quotas between countries.
Trade policies tariffs and quotas will most likely benefit domestic producers of the protected good and harm domestic consumers of the protected good as they're made to pay for the consumption of imported products. Hence, under free trade there are more societal benefits due to the specialization of domestic goods.
Tariffs can reduce both the volume of exports and imports in a country.
In order to generate revenues, domestic government make use of tariffs while quotas do not generate any revenue for them.
The name for a variety of methods used to examine how an amount will change if factors involved in predicting that amount change is: Cost analysis. Cost-volume-profit analysis. Sensitivity analysis. Contribution margin analysis. Factor analysis.
Answer:
Sensitivity analysis.
Explanation:
Sensitivity analysis studies how an economic variable would change due to changes in one of the input variables.
Due to the fact that the future is uncertain, it would be wise to accommodate a varying range of scenarios to be able to be well prepared for the future.
Sensitivity analysis involves changing one input at a time to determine how they would affect results.
For example, in determining NPV, there can be different ranges of discount rate

Ashley Corporation uses a process-cost accounting system. The company adds direct materials and direct labor at the start of its production process; overhead cost is incurred evenly throughout manufacturing. The firm has no beginning work-in-process inventory; its ending work in process is 40% complete. Which of the following sets of percentages would be used to calculate the correct number of equivalent units in the ending work-in-process inventory?
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%.
b. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 100%.
c. Materials, 100%; labor 40%; overhead cost, 40%.
d. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 60%.
e. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 100%.
Answer:
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%
Explanation:
Since Materials and Labor are added at the start of its production process, they will always be 100 % complete at the the end of the period as this mark is already passed. Overheads will be complete up to the extent of the work done in work in process that is 40%.
Direct Materials Used in Production
Slapshot Company makes ice hockey sticks. On June 1, Slapshot had $48,000 of materials in inventory. During the month of June, the company purchased $132,000 of materials. On June 30, materials inventory equaled $45,000.
Required:
Calculate the direct materials used in production for the month of June.
Answer:
$135,000
Explanation:
The direct materials used in production for the month of June is computed as;
= Materials inventory at June 1 + Materials purchased during the month of June - Materials inventory at June 30
= $48,000 + $132,000 - $45,000
= $135,000
Therefore, the direct materials used in production for the month of June is $135,000
On discovering an improperly adjusted drill press, Jack Joyner, Director of Quality Control, ordered an inspection of every fifth casting drilled during the evening shift. Less than 1% of the sampled castings were defective; so, Jack released the evening shift's production to assembly. This is an example of _______________.
Answer:
Inferential statistics
Explanation:
Here, every fifth casting drill during evening shift is selected to identify the defectiveness of the casting. That is, every drill is considered as the sample. It is clear that the inference about the population is made. That is, less than 1% of the casting was defective, hence, it is concluded that is an example of inferential statistics
Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for the month, thus owing you $5100. Today, when the repayment is due, he asked you to extend the loan for another month and he would pay you the $5100 next month. In the meantime, you have had the offer to invest as much as you wish in an oil-well venture that is expected to pay 40% per year and a hot new IT stock that is estimated to return 39% the first year. If you let your colleague have another month, what is the opportunity cost of your decision
Answer:
The opportunity cost of lending the money to the friend is the largest expected return that could be earned with the money loaned to the friend. From the available opportunity, the investor could earn maximum of 40% by investing in oil well venture. Thus, the opportunity cost to the investor is 40%
The opportunity cost in dollar = Investment * Opportunity cost in %
= $5,000 * 40%
= $2,000
Thus, the opportunity cost in dollar is $2,000

Lois tells Stew he can buy her pool house for $100,000. Stew is so excited to own a home of his own that he leaves a $10,000 check in her mailbox as a starting payment on the pool house. Then, he begins remodeling the pool house, spending $3,000 in repairs and improvements. Lois decides she made a big mistake and attempts to cancel this agreement. The most likely outcome will be:
Answer:
The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house
Explanation:
The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house. This is mainly because Lois accepted Stew's offer of $100,000 and Stew already fulfilled part of the agreement. By simply paying the $10,000 that he left Stew he has already fulfilled part of his side of the agreement which solidifies the agreement and makes it legally binding. Therefore, he would most likely win a court case if Lois decides to back out of the agreement.
