Answer: D. $40,175
Explanation:
The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.
The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.
Revenue
$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.
Revenue is therefore,
= 5,700 + 2,750
= $8,450
Expenses
Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.
= 1,500 + 275
= $1,775
Net Income = Revenue - Expenses
Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775
Net Income = $6,675
The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.
The Capital therefore is,
- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.
The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,
= 13,500 + 20,000
= $33,500
The balance on the capital account will therefore be,
= Capital + Net Income
= 33,500 + 6,675
= $40,175

The concept and principle require that expenses and revenue are matched in the period they were incurred and not when they were actually paid for or received.
Consider the following scenario:
Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted due to the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization successfully lobbies state regulators to stop the farm's pollution.
1. Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case?
Integration of different types of businesses
Contracts
Moral codes and social sanctions
Charities
2. It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that -------.
Answer: 1. Charities
2. Government action the only viable solution
Explanation:
Externalities are the resultant additional effects that are experienced by others as a result of actions by an economic agent who does not bear the extra aformentioned cost or benefit that their actions bring about.
1. Private Solutions to Externalities include any solution independent of the government.
The above Private Solution is Charities because it was a Non-profit Environmental Organization that dealt with the lobbying for the reduction to be acted upon by state agents. These types of organisations are usually Charities.
2. If it is shown that the potential gains are viewed to be quite high as in this case then negotiating with the polluters might not work. In this case Government Intervention is needed to force the polluters to adhere to rules and regulations.

Explanation:
Which of the following statements is FALSE about opportunity cost? A. Opportunity cost exists only for goods with monetary values. B. Cost is always foregone opportunity. C. When a person buys two items, the concept of opportunity cost applies even though she can afford to buy both items. D. Opportunity cost is the next best alternative.
Answer:
A. Opportunity cost exists only for goods with monetary values.
Explanation:
Fundamentally, these are costs in economics used in analysis of a project, and it can also be used for calculation of cost benefits. It is generally known to measure or do all calculation that deals with the current and also forgone alternatives in any condition but this is mainly in economics where it is mostly used.
It is said that when a person buys two or more items, the concept of opportunity cost applies even though she can afford to buy both items and also known to be the best alternative. Here also, cost is notified as foregone opportunity.
Wingate Company, a wholesale distributor of electronic equipment, has been experiencing losses for some time, as shown by its most recent monthly contribution format income statement: Sales $ 1,535,000 Variable expenses 553,150 Contribution margin 981,850 Fixed expenses 1,080,000 Net operating income (loss) $ (98,150) In an effort to resolve the problem, the company would like to prepare an income statement segmented by division. Accordingly, the Accounting Department has developed the following information: Division East Central West Sales $ 355,000 $ 660,000 $ 520,000 Variable expenses as a percentage of sales 53 % 23 % 41 % Traceable fixed expenses $ 296,000 $ 331,000 $ 202,000 Required: 1. Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by divisions. 2-a. The Marketing Department has proposed increasing the West Division's monthly advertising by $28,000 based on the belief that it would increase that division's sales by 16%. Assuming these estimates are accurate, how much would the company's net operating income increase (decrease) if the proposal is implemented
Answer:
Wingate Company
1. Contribution Format Income Statement (segmented by divisions):
East Central West Total
Sales $ 355,000 $ 660,000 $ 520,000 $ 1,535,000
Variable Expenses 188,150 151,800 213,200 553,150
Contribution 166,850 508,200 306,800 981,850

Non-Traceable Fixed Expenses 251,000
Net operating income/
(Loss) (129,150) 177,200 104,800 (98,150)
2a) Increasing the West Division's monthly advertising by $28,000 based on the belief that it would increase that division's sales by 16%:
East Central West Total
Sales $ 355,000 $ 660,000 $ 603,200 $ 1,618,200
Variable Expenses 188,150 151,800 213,200 553,150
Contribution 166,850 508,200 390,000 1,065,050

Non-Traceable Fixed Expenses 251,000
Net operating income/
(Loss) (129,150) 177,200 160,000 (42,950)
2b) The net operating income will increase by $55,200, thus reducing the loss from $98,150 to $42,950.
Explanation:
Segmenting the income statement into divisions helps management to trace the loss making division as Division East. The division has a traceable fixed cost that is far above its contribution to profit. The fixed expense must be studied, otherwise the division may be up for closure.
You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $100, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $120 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $80. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%.Based upon your assumptions, calculate your estimate of the the call option's value using the two-state stock price model.
Answer:
$13.64
Explanation:
Given:
Exercise price,X = $100
Current price = $100
Value when price is up, uS = $120
Value when price is down, dS= $80
Risk free interest rate = 10%
First calculate hedge ratio, H:
[tex] H = \frac{C_u - C_d}{uS - dS} [/tex]
Where,
Cu = uS - X
= 120 - 100
= $20
[tex] H = \frac{20 - 0}{120 - 80} = \ftac{1}{2}[/tex]
A risk free portfolio involves one share and two call options.
Find cost of portfolio:
Cost of portfolio = Cost of stock - Cost of the two cells.
= $100 - 2C
This portfolio is risk free. The table below shows that
_______________
Portforlio 1:
Buy 1 share $80; Write 2 calls: $0; Total: ($80 + 0) $80
____________________
Portforlio 2:
Buy 1 share: $120; Write 2 calls: -$40; Total: ($120 - $40) $80
Check for oresent value of the portfolio:
Present value [tex] = \frac{80}{1 + 0.10} = 72.73 [/tex]
Value = exercise price - value of option
$72.73 = $100 - 2C
Find call option, C
[tex] C = \frac{100 - 72.73}{2} = 13.64 [/tex]
Call option's value = $13.64

Cat's product manager continues to perform well in the market. However, a competing product is coming on strong and is looking to take over as the market share leader in the segment. Without sacrificing contribution margin, what can the Cat product manager do in order to improve upon the buying criteria, and thus potentially increase demand
Answer:
Increase promotion spending
Explanation:
Note that the challenge for the product is to get a demand that supersedes that of their competitor. Thus, by spending more on promotion they could still maintain the contribution margin while at the same time increase consumers demand the product.
For example, by adding extra gift items to their products consumers would likely feel motivated to buy the product over the other.

The donors stipulated that their contributions be used to purchase equipment for the hospital. As of June 30, 20X9, the end of the hospital's fiscal year, $12,000 of the contributions had been spent on equipment acquisitions. In the hospital's general fund, what account would be credited to recognize the release of the restrictions on the temporarily restricted contributions used to acquire equipment
Answer: Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction.
Explanation:
When the stipulations by a donor have been satisfied, the assets involved can be removed from being restricted to now being unrestricted. The account credited to recognize this is known as the Net assets released from *asset name* acquisition restriction.
In the above case, the company purchased some equipment with the money they were donated which means that the equipment had satisfied the stipulation for which they were donated funds for. The Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction thus needs to be credited.
New Age Makeup produces face cream. Each bottle of face cream costs $10 to produce and can be sold for $13. The bottles can be sold as is, or processed further into sunscreen at a cost of $14 each. New Age Makeup could sell the sunscreen bottles for $23 each.
A) Face cream must be processed further because its profit is $9 each.
B) Face cream must not be processed further because costs increase more than revenue.
C) Face cream must not be processed further because it decreases profit by $1 each.
D) Face cream must be processed further because it increases profit by $3 each.
Answer:
Face cream must not be processed further because costs increase more than revenue.
Explanation:
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost
If sold as face cream, total profit = $13 - $10 = $3
If processed into sunscreen , total cost = $10 + $14 = $24
Profit = $24 - $23 = $1
The profit from selling the product as a face cream is greater than the profit of developing it to a face cream. So the product shouldn't be developed further.

Brief Exercise 233 Kinney Company purchased a truck for $66,000. The company expected the truck to last four years or 100,000 miles, with an estimated residual value of $8,000 at the end of that time. During the second year the truck was driven 27,000 miles. Compute the depreciation for the second year under each of the methods below and place your answers in the blanks provided.Units-of-activity $_________
Double-declining-balance $_________
Answer:
$15,660
$16,500
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1 / useful life)
2 x (1 / 4 ) = 0.5
The depreciation expense in the first year = 0.5 x $66,000 = $33,000
Book value = $66,000 - $33,000 = $33,000
The depreciation expense in the second year = 0.5 x $33,000 = $16,500
The Units of production method = (miles driven in the second year / estimated total miles that can be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(27,000 / 100,000) × ($66,000 - $8,000)
= 0.27 x $58,000 = $15,660

Exercise 4-7 (Algo) Income statement presentation; discontinued operations; restructuring costs [LO4-1, 4-3, 4-4] Esquire Comic Book Company had income before tax of $1,650,000 in 2021 before considering the following material items: Esquire sold one of its operating divisions, which qualified as a separate component according to generally accepted accounting principles. The before-tax loss on disposal was $405,000. The division generated before-tax income from operations from the beginning of the year through disposal of $630,000. The company incurred restructuring costs of $70,000 during the year. Required: Prepare a 2021 income statement for Esquire beginning with income from continuing operations. Assume an income tax rate of 25%. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
Net income = $1,353,750
Note: See the income statement below.
Explanation:
Before preparing the income statement, the following calculations are done first:
Income from operations of discontinued component = Income before-tax generated by the division - Before-tax loss on disposal = $630,000 - $405,000 = $225,000
Income from continuing operations = Income before tax - Restructuring costs = $1,650,000 - $70,000 = $1,580,000
The income statement can now be prepared as follows:

The residents of Alaska and people throughout the world were outraged when the Exxon Valdez crashed into a shoal and dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. People were upset with Exxon's response to the disaster. The company was slow to admit its mistake and even slower to implement cleanup activities. Exxon was criticized for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society. In short, Exxon did not demonstrate:___________.
1. Social responsibility
2. Value conciousness
3. Gray marketing
4. Profit responsibility
5. Transactional marketing
Answer:
1. Social responsibility.
Explanation:
Social responsibility is an ethical principle or business practice that supports, that individuals or business entities are required to fulfil civic duties, such as welfare, charity, etc. for the benefit of the society at large.
Simply stated, it incorporates sustainable societal development into business models. A company's social responsibility involves the process of creating a balance between economic growth, societal welfare and largely it's environment.
In this scenario, Exxon was slow to own up to it's error and even slower in implementing cleanup activities of the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Sequel to this, it was criticized by the residents of Alaska and others around the world for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society.
Hence, Exxon did not demonstrate social responsibility.
A rich donor gives a hospital $ 960 comma 000 one year from today. Each year after that, the hospital will receive a payment 5 % larger than the previous payment, with the last payment occurring in ten years' time. What is the present value (PV) of this donation, given that the interest rate is 9 %?
Answer:
$7,560,000
Explanation:
To solve this problem, the Present Value (PV) of a growing annuity formula is used.
The Present Value of a growing annuity is the current value of a series of payments which grows or diminishes at a constant rate each period.
The formula below represents the PV of a growing annuity:
[tex]PV=PMT *\frac{(1-(1+g)^{n}*(1+i)^{-n}) }{i-g}[/tex], ............................................. (i)
where,
PV = Present Value = ?
PMT = Periodic Payment = $960,000
i = Interest Rate = 9% = 0.09
g = Growth Rate = 5% = 0.05
n = Number of periods = 10 years
Substituting these values in equation (i), we have

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.05^{10})*(1.09)^{-10}) }{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.63*0.42))}{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-0.685)}{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*\frac{0.315}{0.04}[/tex]
[tex]PV=960000*7.875[/tex]

Answer: Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks
Explanation:
One reason that can make the federal ggovernment to bail out farmers in the flood prone areas of the country will be in a situation whereby the flooding is not flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks.

Frank Barlowe is retiring soon, so he is concerned about his investments providing him with a steady income every year. He is aware that if interest rates , the potential earnings power of the cash flow from his investments will increase. In particular, he is concerned that a decline in interest rates might lead to annual income from his investments. What kind of risk is Frank most concerned about protecting against? Reinvestment rate risk Interest rate risk
Answer:
Increase
less
A) Reinvestment rate risk.
Explanation:
Reinvestment rate risk is demonstrated as the type of financial risk in which the investor is concerned about his investment getting canceled or stopped in the future and the other party/place might not be able to provide a similar rate of return.
In the given situation, Frank Barlowe is concerned about reinvestment risk. He is aware that he will earn a steady income from his investments as he knows that when the interest rates increase, his potential returns would increase and vice versa. But since he is retiring, he has a potential concern that if the investment gets abandoned somehow, he might not be able to reinvest his amount at the same rate and will not be able to continue with steady returns. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
On January 1 of the current year, Jimmy's Sandwich Company, Inc. reported stockholders' equity totaling $122,500. During the current year, total revenues were $96,000 while total expenses were $85,500. Also, during the current year the business paid $20,000 to the stockholders. No other changes in equity occurred during the year. If, on December 31 of the current year, total assets are $196,000, the change in stockholders' equity during the year was:
Answer:
The multiple choices are:
A decrease of $9,500.
An increase of $9,500.
An increase of $30,500.
A decrease of $30,500.
An increase of 73,500.
The correct option is a decrease of $9,500
Explanation:
The changes in stockholders' equity is in the form of the difference between inflow to stockholders and outflow to stockholders.
Inflow to stockholders is the earnings attributable to them in form of net income while outflow is the dividends paid to them.
net income=revenues-expenses=$96,000-$85,500=$10,500
Dividends were paid to the tune of $20,000
change in stockholders' equity=$10,500-$20,000=-$9,500
In essence ,the opening balance of stockholders' equity went down by $9,500 since the net income generated of $10,500 was not enough to fund dividend payment

You find the following Treasury bond quotes. To calculate the number of years until maturity, assume that it is currently May 2019 and the bond has a par value of $1,000. Rate Maturity Mo/Yr Bid Asked Chg Ask Yld ?? May 24 103.4690 103.5418 +.3093 6.119 5.524 May 29 104.5030 104.6487 +.4365 ?? 6.193 May 39 ?? ?? +.5483 4.151 In the above table, find the Treasury bond that matures in May 2029. What is your yield to maturity if you buy this bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
4.93%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to maturity we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $1,046.487
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 5.524% ÷ 2 = $27.62
NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years
The 10 years is come from
= May 2029 - May 2019
= 10 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
The yield to maturity is
= 2.46% × 2
= 4.93%
