What is the annual effective interest rate on the bonds?
Answer:
7%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the annual effective interest rate on the bonds
Using this formula
Annual Stated interest = Annual cash interest / Face vale of bonds*100
Let plug in the formula
Annual Stated interest =($7000+$7000) / 200000*100
Annual Stated interest=$14,000/20,000
Annual Stated interest=7%

g A company has beginning inventory of 16 units at a cost of $24 each on February 1. On February 3, it purchases 34 units at $26 each. 22 units are sold on February 5. Using the FIFO periodic inventory method, what is the cost of the 22 units that are sold
Answer:
$188
Explanation:
FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first will be sold first. Hence the cost of sales will be valued using the prices of earlier or older units.
Cost of Sales = 16 units x $24 + 6 units x $26
= $188
Thus, the cost of the 22 units that are sold is $188.
A loan officer states, "Thousands of dollars can be saved by switching to a 15-year mortgage from a 30-year mortgage." Calculate the difference in payments on a 30-year mortgage at an interest rate of .75% a month versus a 15-year mortgage with an interest rate of .7% a month. Both mortgages are for $100,000 and have monthly payments. What is the difference in total dollars that will be paid to the lender under each loan?
Answer:
$113,465
Explanation:
Calculation to determine difference in total dollars that will be paid to the lender under each loan
First step is to Calculate the difference in payments on a 30-year mortgage at an interest rate of .75% a month
$100,000 = PMT([1 / (0.0075)] − 1 / {(0.0075)[(1.0075)]^30 × 12})
PMT = $804.62
Second step is to Calculate the difference in payments on a 15-year mortgage at an interest rate of .7% a month
$100,000 = PMT([1 / (0.007)] − 1 / {(0.007 )[ 1.007)]^15 × 12})
PMT = $ 978.87
Now let determine the Total difference
Total difference = ($804.62 × 12 × 30) − ($978.87 × 12 × 15)
Total difference= $113,465
Therefore difference in total dollars that will be paid to the lender under each loan is $113,465
The records of Pippins, Inc., included the following information: Net sales $ 1,000,000 Gross margin 475,000 Interest expense 50,000 Income tax expense 80,000 Net income 240,000 Compute the times interest earned ratio, rounded to the nearest decimal.
Answer:
the times interest earned ratio is 7.4 times
Explanation:
The computation of the times interest earned ratio is given below/;
Times interest earned ratio is
= EBIT ÷ interest expense
where
EBIT = Net Income + Interest Expense + Income tax Expense
= 240,000 + 50,000 + 80,000
= 370,000
Now the times interest earned ratio is
= $370,000 ÷ $50,000
= 7.4 times
Hence, the times interest earned ratio is 7.4 times

On June 1, 2021, Dirty Harry Co. borrowed cash by issuing a 6-month noninterest-bearing note with a maturity value of $510,000 and a discount rate of 8%. Assuming straight-line amortization of the discount, what is the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2021
Answer: $503,200
Explanation:
Carrying value of note = Face value of note - Interest remaining
Interest remaining = Face value * Periodic interest rate * Number of months remaining / Total number of months for note
= 510,000 * 8%/2 * 2 / 6 months
= $6,800
Carrying value of note = 510,000 - 6,800
= $503,200
Note: Note is for 6 months so periodic interest was divided by 2 to make it a semi-annual rate.
A downside to absorption costing is: ____________
a. not including fixed manufacturing overhead in the cost of the product
b. that it is not really useful for managerial decisions
c. that it is not allowable under GAAP
d. that it is not well designed for cost-volume-profit analysis
Answer: that it is not well designed for cost-volume-profit analysis
Explanation:
Absorption costing refers to the managerial accounting method that is used for capturing all the costs that are associated with the manufacturing of a product. In this case, the direct costs and the indirect costs are all accounted for through the use of this method.
Some of the downside to absorption costing include the fact that it isn't
helpful in a scenario whereby improvement in the financial and operational efficiency is to be analysed. Also, the true reflection of the profit of a business may not be given and it is not well designed for cost-volume-profit analysis.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

Dr Deferred revenue
Cr Revenue
Hence when $1,000 for services was received on December 1 and was recorded as a liability
Dr Cash $1,000
Cr Deferred revenue $1,000
when $400 had been earned
Dr Deferred revenue $400
Cr Revenue $400
Option b is right
b. Debit Unearned revenues for $400.
K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $2,967,000 for indirect labor and $860,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. If 86,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, how much overhead would be assigned to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours
Answer:
$267.00
Explanation:
First and foremost, it should be borne in mind that the overhead per direct labor hour is the total forecast overhead costs for next year divided by the planned direct labor hours, in essence, we simply determine plantwide overhead allocation rate, which is the basis for determining the amount of direct to be assigned to 6 direct labor hours
plantwide overhead allocation rate=(indirect labor overhead+factory utilities)/planned direct labor
indirect labor overhead cost=$2,967,000
factory utilities=$860,000
planned direct labor hours=86,000
plantwide overhead allocation rate=($2,967,000+$860,000)/86000
plantwide overhead allocation rate=$44.50
overhead allocation to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours=6*$44.50
overhead allocation to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours=$267.00

Required:
Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.
Answer:
$9,240
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change
Using this formula
Net operating income = (CM ratio × Sales) - Fixed expenses
Let plug in the formula
Net operating income= (0.58× $178,000) - $94,000

Net operating income= $9,240
Therefore the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change is $9,240
Tin Roof's net cash flows for the next three years are projected at $72,000, $78,000, and $84,000, respectively. After that, the cash flows are expected to increase by 3.2 percent annually. What is the value of the firm if the WACC is 9.32%
Answer:
$1,279,622.65
Explanation:
The value of the company is the present value of its future cash flows for the three-year planning horizon plus the present value of its continuing value beyond year 3, all discounted using the WACC as the appropriate discount rate.
continuing value=year 3 cash flow*(1+terminal growth rate)/(WACC-terminal growth rate)
continuing value= $84,000*(1+3.2%)/(9.32%-3.2%)=$1,416,470.59
present value of continuing value=$1,416,470.59/(1+9.32%)^3=$1,084,198.23
present value of 3-year cash flows=$72000/(1+9.32%)^1+$78,000/(1+9.32%)^2+$84,000/(1+9.32%)^3
present value of 3-year cash flows=$195,424.42
value of the company=$1,084,198.23+$195,424.42
value of the company=$1,279,622.65
