Answer:
the depreciation expense for the second year is $4,875
Explanation:
The calculation of the depreciation expense for the second year is given below:
First the depreciation rate should be
= 1 ÷ 8 × 2
= 25%
Now the first year depreciation is
= $26,000 × 25%
= $6,500
Now the second year depreciation should be
= ($26,000 - $6,500) × 2
= $4,875
Hence, the depreciation expense for the second year is $4,875
A company buys equipment for $48,000, expects to use it for ten years, and then sell it for $6,000. Using the straight-line method, the company should report annual depreciation for the equipment of: A. $4,200. B. $8,400. C. $4,800. D. $9,600.
Answer:
A $4,200
Explanation:
Given the following information, a company buys equipment for $48,000 expects to use it for ten years, and then sell it for $6,000
We need to use the formula below
Annual depreciation = (Original cost - Salvage value) / Estimated life(years)
Annual depreciation = ($48,000 - $6,000) / 10
Annual depreciation = $4,200
As of December 31, Drake Inc. reported the following (in millions): Current AssetsLong-term AssetsCurrent LiabilitiesTotal Liabilities $31,967$42,737$26,132$61,491 What amount did Drake Inc. report as equity on December 31

Hart Corporation owns machinery with a book value of $600,000. It is estimated that the machinery will generate future cash flows of $570,000. The machinery has a fair value of $420,000. Hart should recognize a loss on impairment of
Answer: $180,000
Explanation:
An asset is said to be impaired when the future cashflows that it will bring in are less than the book value and when the fair value of the asset is also less than the book value.
Impairment loss = Book value of asset - Fair value
= 600,000 - 420,000
= $180,000
Mississippi River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $27,000 to $54,000 per year. The new machine will cost $82,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period; so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value.

Actual VOH AH ×SVOR SH × SVOR
222816 57200 × 3.75 = 214500 60000 × 3.75 = 225000
8316 10500
Hence, 8316 is unfavorable
And, 10,500 should be favorable
The straight-line depreciation method: A. reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year. B. can be used only by small companies. C. reports a higher amount of depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's use. D. reports more depreciation expense in a year when an asset is heavily used and less in a year when the asset is hardly used at all.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
The straight line depreciation method reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year.
An example of the straight line depreciation method
cost of asset = 10,000
salvage value = 0
useful life = 5
straight line depreciation = (10,000 - 0) / 5 = 2000
depreciation expense each year would be 2000

Suppose a mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk if the standard deviation of its monthly rate of return is less than 5%. A mutual-fund rating agency randomly selects 24 months and determines the rate of return for a certain fund. The standard deviation of the rate of return is computed to be 4.54%. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the fund has moderate risk at the α=0.05 level of significance? A normal probability plot indicates that the monthly rates of return are normally distributed. What are the correct hypotheses for this test? The null hypothesis is H0
Answer:
H0 : σ = 5
H1 : σ < 5
there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that fund has moderate risk.
Explanation:
The hypothesis :
H0 : σ = 5
H1 : σ < 5
The test statistic using the Chisquare variance test :
χ² = (n-1)*s²/σ²
The sample size, s = 4.54
The sample size, n = 24
α = 0.05
Test statistic ;
χ² = [(24 - 1) * 4.54²] / 5²
χ² = (23 * 20.6116) / 25
χ² = 18.962
The Pvalue :
df = n - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23
Pvalue(0.05, 23) = 0.7034
Since Pvalue > α ; we fail to reject the Null ;
Hence, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that fund has moderate risk.

After-tax annual cash flow = $2 million
Discount rate for the incremental cash flows = 10%
Present value of the perpetuity = $20 million ($2 m/10%)
Current market value of Teller = $54 million
Current market value of Penn = $84 million
Possible settlement options:
45% of stock = $37.8 million ($84 million * 45%)
Cash $72 million
Jeffrey Dean, a Master's Degree candidate at North State Central University, was awarded a $15,000 scholarship from North State Central in the current year. During the current year, he paid the following expenses: Tuition $12,000 Books 1,000 Fees 500 Room and Board 1,500 In addition, he received $6,000 for teaching two undergraduate accounting courses. What amount must be included in Dean's gross income
Answer: $7500

(2) Quantity—actual production time 1.60 hours, rest periods and cleanup 0.30 hours, and setup and downtime 0.20 hours. Compute the following. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)
(a) Standard direct labor rate per hour. $ ______
(b) Standard direct labor hours per gallon. hours
(c) Standard labor cost per gallon. $______
Answer:
a. Standard direct labor rate per hour = Hourly wage rate + Payroll taxes + Fringe benefits
Standard direct labor rate per hour = $16.70 + $0.60 + $1.40
Standard direct labor rate per hour = $18.70
b. Standard direct labor hours per gallon = Actual production time + Rest periods and cleanup + Setup and downtime
Standard direct labor hours per gallon = 1.60 hours + 0.30 hours + 0.20 hours
Standard direct labor hours per gallon = 2.1 hours
c. Standard labor cost per gallon = Standard direct hours per gallon * Standard direct labor rate per hour
Standard labor cost per gallon = 2.1 hours * $18.70
Standard labor cost per gallon = $39.27
Blazing Woman, a large music festival wants to secure a venue for its show coming up in two years. 19 months before the festival it enters into an agreement with Stonestock Farms.

A production process has six subsequent stages, each with their own specific resources and performing crucial tasks. Four of these stages have a capacity of 20 units per hour, while the other two stages have a capacity of 10 units per hour. What is the best conclusion?
Answer: Both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered bottlenecks.
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the best conclusion is that both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered the bottlenecks.
It should be noted that the bottleneck in the chain of processes, is the one that has the limited capacity and this then reduces the capacity of the whole chain and slows down production.
Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 46,000 units per month is as follows:
Per Unit Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $3.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $14.00
The normal selling price of the product is $98.10 per unit.
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,600 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.80 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.
Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1,000 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to: __________
Answer:
Ash Corporation
The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:
= $94.93.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Normal production capacity per month = 46,000 units
Per Unit
Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $3.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $14.00
The normal selling price of the product = $98.10 per unit.
Special order = 2,600 units
Relevant costs:
Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Variable selling & administrative expense $1.20
Total relevant costs per unit $57.20
Total variable cost for the special order = $148,720 ($57.20 * 2,600)
Loss sales revenue (1,000 * $98.10) 98,100
Total cost for the special order = $246,820
Minimum acceptable price per unit = $94.93 ($246,820/2,600)
Sheridan Industries reported actual sales of $2,125,000 and fixed costs of $562,275. The contribution margin ratio is 30%. Compute the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio. (Round margin of safety ratio to 1 decimal place, e.g. 52.7.)
Answer:
Margin of safety $250,750
Margin of safety ratio 11.8%
Explanation:
Computation for the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio
First step is calculate the Break even point in dollars
Break even point in dollars = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
Break even point in dollars=$562,275/0.30
Break even point in dollars = $1,874,250
Now let determine the the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio
Margin of safety = Actual Sales - Break even sales
Margin of safety= $2,125,000 -$1,874,250
Margin of safety=$250,750
Margin of safety ratio= Margin of safety/Actual Sales
Margin of safety ratio = $250,750/$2,125,000
Margin of safety ratio = 0.118*100
Margin of safety ratio = 11.8%
Thereforethe margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio will be:
Margin of safety $250,750
Margin of safety ratio 11.8%
On its December 31, 2017, balance sheet, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000. Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600. The balances for equipment and accumulated depreciation, respectively, on the December 31, 2018 budgeted balance sheet are:
Answer:
The cost balance on 31 December 2018 is $518,000 while that of accumulated depreciation is $126,400
Explanation:
The balance of fixed assets is computed as
Opening balance - accumulated depreciation - depreciation + Addition - Disposal
Hence given that on December 31, 2017, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000, Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600 the balance then
= $470,000 + $100,000 - $52,000
= $518,000
The accumulated depreciation
= $94,000 + $40,000 - $7,600
= $126,400
A producer of fixed proportion goods X and Y (Q = Qx = Qy) has marginal costs and revenues of MC = 10 Q, MRX = 150 - 6 QX, MRy = 30 - 4 Qy. The producer should produce how many units?
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
b. Qx = 9, Qy = 7.5
c. Qx = 10, Qy = 10
d. Qx = 9, Qy=0
Answer:
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
Explanation:
As per the given data
Q = QX = QY
MRX = 150 - 6QX = 150 - 6Q
MRY = 30 - 4QY = 30 - 4Q
MC = 10Q
Now calculate the Marginal revenue as follow
MR = MRX + MRY
MR = 150 - 6Q + 30 - 4Q
MR = 150 + 30 - 6Q - 4Q
MR = 180 - 10Q
The Equilibrium of the producer will be
MR = MC
180 - 10Q = 10Q
180 = 10Q + 10Q
180 = 20Q
Q = 180 / 20
Q = 9
As we know
Q = Qx = QY
Hence, the value of Qx and QY is 9

What is the loan amount if the interest rate is 7.5% per year and the monthly interest payment is $1,250?
Answer:
The amount of the loan was $ 13,953.48.
Explanation:
To determine what is the loan amount if the interest rate is 7.5% per year and the monthly interest payment is $ 1,250, the following calculation must be performed:
1250 x 12 = 15,000
1,075X = 15,000
X = 15,000 / 1,075
X = 13,953.48
Therefore, the amount of the loan was $ 13,953.48.
Describe the events that occur in an efficient market in response to new information that causes the expected return to exceed the required return. What happens to the market value
Answer:
The efficient market hypothesis tells, in an equilibrium, the price of stocks or security is an unbiased estimate of the true values.
Explanation:
Thus, in the equilibrium, of security prices are neither an overvalued nor are undervalued. Suppose the investors learn new information about the company that suggests there stock is worth more than the current price. The security gets undervalued expected return exceeds the required return. Increased in demand for security from the investors with this new information will thus bid up the market value plus reduce its expected return until they are equal.Suppose that the tax on interest income is levied on the nominal interest rate, the tax rate is 20 percent, and the real interest rate is 4 percent a year. There is no inflation.
Calculate the after-tax real interest rate and the true tax rate on interest income.
Answer:
After-tax interest rate ⇒ 3.2%True tax on interest income ⇒ 20%Explanation:
After-tax real interest rate:
= Real interest rate * (1 - tax rate)
= 4% * (1 - 20%)
= 4% * 80%
= 3.2%
True tax on interest income:
= 20%
True tax on interest income is the tax rate levied on the nominal interest rate which is 20%.

Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.
Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.
In contract law, damages can be defined as an amount of money that is paid to a claimant (innocent party) as a compensation for a breach of contractual agreement and it's based on the amount of interest he or she has vested in the contract. Thus, it covers the incurred by the nonbreaching party (claimant or innocent party) due to a breach of contract by the other party.
Hence, the ultimate goal of contract damages is to give the nonbreaching party the benefit of its bargain.
