A TV manufacturer offers warranties on its new TV sales. During December 2004, TV sales totaled $205,000. Past experience shows that warranty expense averages about 3% of the annual sales. What adjusting journal entry should be recorded on December 31, 2004 to account for the warranty expense
Answer:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
Dec 31, 2004 Warranty expense $6,150
Warranty Liability $6,150
Explanation:
First calculate the warranty expense:
= TV sales total * Warranty expense averages
= 205,000 * 3%
= $6,150
This will be credited to the Warranty liability account to reflect that the company potentially owes $6,150 in warranty expenses to people who purchased TVs.
Calculating the Direct Materials Price Variance and the Direct Materials Usage Variance Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company is a service company that offers oil changes and lubrication for automobiles and light trucks. On average, Guillermo has found that a typical oil change takes 24 minutes and 6.2 quarts of oil are used. In June, Guillermo's Oil and Lube had 980 oil changes. Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company provided the following information for the production of oil changes during the month of June:
Actual number of oil changes performed: 980
Actual number of quarts of oil used: 6,020 quarts
Actual price paid per quart of oil: $5.10
Standard price per quart of oil: $5.05
Required:
a. Calculate the direct materials price variance (MPV) and the direct materials usage variance (MUV) for June using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the total direct materials variance for oil for June.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5.05 - 5.1)*6,020
Direct material price variance= $301 unfavorable
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6,076 - 6,020)*5.05
Direct material quantity variance= $282.8 favorable
Standard quantity= 980*6.2= 6,076
Finally, the total direct material variance:
Total direct material variance= Direct material quantity variance - Direct material price variance
Total direct material variance= 282.8 - 301
Total direct material variance= $18.2 unfavorable

The Fisher Effect equation can be used to determine the real interest rate. Use this equation to determine the answer to the question. If the nominal interest rate is 0.1100.110 , and the inflation rate is 0.0250.025 , what is the real interest rate
Answer:
0.075%
Explanation:
Interest rate is the rate earned on deposits or the rate charged on loans.
Interest rate could be real or nominal
Nominal interest rate is real interest rate plus inflation rate
Real interest rate is interest rate that has been adjusted for inflation
Fisher effect equation : ( 1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + inflation rate)
(1 + 0.001) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.00025)
1.001 = (1 + real interest rate) x (1.00025)
1.001 / (1.00025) = (1 + real interest rate)
1.00075 = (1 + real interest rate)
real interest rate = 1.00075 - 1
= 0.00075 = 0.075%
In a responsive culture, _____. management does not expect the employees to challenge or change the status quo. employees feel free to make recommendations to management to change existing practices. management tends to be inward-looking and politically motivated. good ideas do not get communicated upward because management is not very approachable.
In a responsive culture, 'management does not expect the employees to challenge or change the status quo.'
Responsive culture in an organization conveys that it aims to give importance to the needs, and preferences of its customers and adapting to them accordingly. The employees, therefore, are not expected to show defiance against the current circumstances or requirements. They are rather expected to adapt to the present circumstances and serve their customers with the best of their abilities and cater to their demands effectively and efficiently.Learn more about 'Business culture' here:

Suppose that Bob's company uses exponential smoothing to make forecasts. Further suppose that last period's demand forecast was for 20,000 units (Ft) and last period's actual demand was 21,000 units (At). Bob's company uses a smoothing constant (alpha) of 0.4. What should be the forecast for this period
Answer:
20,400 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What should be the forecast for this period
Using this formula
F t+1=α*D t+(1-α)
Where,
F t+1=Forecast for this period
α=Smoothing constant (alpha)
D t=Last period's actual demand
(1-α)=(1-Last period's demand forecast)
Let plug in the formula
F t+1=(0.4*21,000 units)+(1-0.4*20,000 units)
F t+1=(0.4*21,000 units)+ (0.60*20,000 units)
F t+1=8,400 units+12,000 units
F t+1=20,400 units
Therefore What should be the forecast for this period is 20,400 units
XYZ expects to sell 28,000 pools in 2019. It budgets the beginning inventory of Direct Materials, Work-in-process, and Finished goods to be 26,000; 0; 1,300 units; AND ending inventory to be 26,000; 0; 2,800 units. How many pools need to be produced
Answer:
the no of pools need to be produced is 29,500 units
Explanation:
The computation of the no of pools need to be produced is given below:
= Ending finished goods inventory units + number of units sold - beginning finished goods inventory units
= 2800 + 28000 - 1300
= 29500 units.
Hence, the no of pools need to be produced is 29,500 units

A) $2,750
B) $250
C) $1,450
D) $3,700
Answer:
The book value of shareholders equity at the end of 2011 is:_______.
D) $3,700.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning shareholders equity book value = $1,500
Net income during 2011 = 1,900
Dividends paid to shareholders (200)
Issuance of new stock 500
Ending shareholders equity book value = $3,700
b) The book value of equity at the end of 2011 is equal to the book value at the beginning of 2011 plus net income generated during 2011, issuance of new stock, minus dividends paid to shareholders.
Sandhill Diesel owns the Fredonia Barber Shop. He employs 7 barbers and pays each a base rate of $1,650 per month. One of the barbers serves as the manager and receives an extra $500 per month. In addition to the base rate, each barber also receives a commission of $5.50 per haircut. Other costs are as follows.
Advertising $260 per month
Rent $800 per month
Barber supplies $0.30 per haircut
Utilities $185 per month plus $0.20 per haircut
Magazines $20 per month
Determine the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs. (Round variable costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)
Total variable cost per haircut $
Total fixed $
Answer:
the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs is $6 per haircut and $13,315 respectively
Explanation:
The computation is given below:
The variable cost per haircut should be
= $5.50 + $0.20 + $0.30
= $6 per haircut
And, the fixed cost should be
= 7 × $1,650 + $500 + $260 + $800 + $185 + $20
= $13,315
So, the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs is $6 per haircut and $13,315 respectively
Musashi and Rina run a catering business in which they have two major tasks: getting new clients and preparing food for events and parties. It takes Musashi 10 hours to prepare the food for an event and 5 hours of effort to get each new client. For Rina, it takes 12 hours to prepare food for an event and 3 hours to get a new client. In this scenario,____has an absolute advantage in food preparation,and____has a comparative advantage in food preparation.
Answer:
Musashi
Musashi
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
opportunity cost of preparing food
Musashi = 5 / 10 = 0.20
Rina = 3 / 12 = 0.25
Musashi has a lower opportunity cost in food preparation. She has a comparative advantage in food preparation
A person has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other people
Musashi prepares food in 10 hours while Rina does in 12 hours
Musashi prepares food faster, thus, she has an absolute advantage in good preparation
A consumer's weekly income is $250, and the consumer buys 12 bars of chocolate per week. When weekly income increases to $280, the consumer buys 13 bars per week. The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about
Answer:
0.69
Explanation:
Given that we have the formula for calculating income elasticity of demand as the percent change in quantity demanded divided by the percent change in income, hence, we have the percent change in quantity demanded => 13 - 12 = 1 ÷ 12 = 0.083
the percent change in income => 280 - 250 = 30 ÷ 250 = 0.12
Therefore we have => 0.083 ÷ 0.12 = 0.69
Hence, the final answer is 0.69

If a company provides an online service that delivers physical products and services but does not exist as a brick-and-mortar store, it is considered which type of brand
Answer: a. an e-brand brand
Explanation:
An e-brand is one that provides just an online service for merchandise sales. These companies do not have physical locations but rather show you all that they sell on their websites and then when you purchase something, they deliver it as a physical good. The most popular example of such is Amazon.
The advantage of such brands is that they get to save on the rental and other property costs related to establishing brick-and-mortar stores because they are online.
The following information relating to a company's overhead costs is available. Actual total variable overhead $ 73,000 Actual total fixed overhead $ 17,000 Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour $ 2.50 Budgeted total fixed overhead $ 15,000 Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output 30,000 Based on this information, the total variable overhead variance is:
Answer: $2,000 favorable
Explanation:
Total variable overhead variance = Budgeted variable overhead - Actual total variable overhead
Budgeted variable overhead = Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output * Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour
= 30,000 * 2.50
= $75,000
Total variable overhead variance = 75,000 - 73,000
= $2,000 favorable
Favorable because the actual amount was less than the budgeted one.
The assumptions of the production order quantity model are met in a situation where annual demand is 3650 units, setup cost is $100, holding cost is $24 per unit per year, the daily demand rate is 20 and the daily production rate is 100. What is the production order quantity for this problem
Answer:
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the production order quantity for this problem
Sqrt [ (2*3650*100)/ (24*(1-20/100)) ] = 500
Sqrt [ (2*50000*20)/ (10*(1-20/100)) ] = 500
=√200,000/(10*0.8)
=200,000/8
=250000
International Data Systems' information on revenue and costs is relevant only up to a sales volume of 121,000 units. After 121,000 units, the market becomes saturated and the price per unit falls from $10.00 to $6.80. Also, there are cost overruns at a production volume of over 121,000 units, and variable cost per unit goes up from $5.00 to $5.25. Fixed costs remain the same at $71,000.
Required:
a. Compute operating income at 121,000 units.
b. Compute operating income at 221,000 units.
Answer:
a. $534,000
b. $271,550
Explanation:
a. Compute operating income at 121,000 units
Using this formula
Operating Income = (Price per unit - Variable cost per unit)*Units - Fixed costs
Let plug in the formula
Operating Income = ($10.00 - $5.00)*121,000 - $71,000
Operating Income = ($5.00)*121,000 - $71,000
Operating Income =$605,000-$71,000
Operating Income = $534,000
Therefore operating income at 121,000 units is $534,000
b. Compute operating income at 221,000 units
Using this formula
Operating Income = (Price per unit - Variable cost per unit)*Units - Fixed costs
Let plug in the formula
Operating Income = ($6.80 - $5.25)*221,000 - $71,000
Operating Income = $1.55*221,000-$71,000
Operating Income = $342,550-$71,000
Operating Income = $271,550
Therefore operating income at 121,000 units at 221,000 units is $271,550
Using the retail inventory method, if the cost to retail ratio is 70% and ending inventory at retail is $145,000, then estimated ending inventory at cost is $207,143.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
The calculation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:
When the cost to retail ratio is 70%,
and
The ending inventory at retail is $145,000,
So, the ending inventory at cost is
= 70% of $145,000
= $101,500
Therefore the given statement is false
Unlike a stock dividend, a stock split _____. multiple choice is always recorded at market value does not change total stockholders' equity reduces the par value of the stock increases the total number of shares outstanding
Answer:
reduces the par value of the stock.
Explanation:
A stock is also referred to as equity and it can be defined as a security that represents a stockholder's ownership of a fraction of a corporation.
The par value of a stock is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a stock gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid.
A stock is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a stock would be issued at par (face) value when the stock's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
Stockholders' equity can be defined as the amount of assets remaining or the residual interest of assets in a business after all liabilities are settled or deducted. A stockholders' equity is calculated by deducting or subtracting the value of liabilities from the value of assets on the balance sheet of a company.
Additionally, statement of changes in stockholders' equity is a financial statement that illustrate a summary of the changes in shareholders' equity (gains and losses that increase or decrease stockholders' equity respectively) over the reporting period.
In Trading and securities, a stock split reduces the par value of the stock whereas a stock dividend increases the par value of a stock.

A bank buys bonds with a par value of $25 million for $24,040,000. The coupon rate is 10 percent, and the bonds pay annual payments. The bonds mature in four years. The bank wants to sell them in two years, and estimates the required rate of return in two years will be 8 percent. What will the market value of the bonds be in two years?
Answer:
$25,891,632.37
Explanation:
The computation of the market value of the bond in two years is given below:
We know that
Market value of the bonds be in two years is
= pv(rate, nper,pmt,fv)
Here
Nper = 2
PV = ?
PMT = 25000000 × 10% = 2500000
FV = 25000000
Rate = 8%
Now
Market value of the bonds be in two years is
= pv( 8%,2,2500000,25000000)
= $25,891,632.37
Green Industries purchased a machine from Cyan Corporation on October 1, 2021. In payment for the $145,000 purchase, Green issued a one-year installment note to be paid in equal monthly payments at the end of each month. The payments include interest at the rate of 18%. Monthly installment payments are closest to\
Answer: $13293.59
Explanation:
The following information can be deduced from the question:
Number of periods (n) = 12
Interest rate(i) = 18%/12 = 1.5%
Purchase price = $145000
PVA = [1 -(1.015)^-12] / 0.015 = 10.90751
Monthly installments payment = Purchase price / PVA
= $145000 / 10.90751
= $13293.59

Rhiannon Corporation has bonds on the market with 17.5 years to maturity, a YTM of 6.4 percent, a par value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,037. The bonds make semiannual payments. What must the coupon rate be on these bonds
Answer:
6.75%
Explanation:
The calculation of the coupon rate is given below:
Given that
PV = $1,037
FV = $1,000
YTM = 6.4% ÷ 2 = 3.2%
NPER = 17.5 × 2 = 35
The formula should be
=PMT(RATE,NPER,-PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the pmt should be $33.77
Annual pmt is
= $33.77 × 2
= $67.55
Now the coupon rate is
= 67.55 ÷$1,000
= 6.75%
