Answer:
mutual mistake
Explanation:
A mutual mistake happens when all the parties involved in a contract (two or more) are mistaken or do not know the correct information about some specific material fact that is relevant to the contract. In this case, the contract can be rescinded because Harry believes that Ryan wants to buy his Cadillac, while Ryan believes Harry is selling his Porsche.
Since both of them are mistaken and do not know relevant material facts regarding the contract, the contract can be terminated.
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
Traceable Fixed Exp. 296,000 331,000 202,000 829,000
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
Traceable Fixed Exp. 296,000 331,000 230,000 857,000
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.
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.
10. Define transfer pricing. Describe at least two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities. How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures
Answer:
Explanation:
(A) What is Transfer Pricing?
This is an accounting practice that sets prices for goods and services bought and sold between related entities.
(B) Two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities:
1. Treating the related or commonly controlled entities as if they are 2 independent entities.
2. Claiming that services rendered between the 2 related entities could not be priced.
(C) How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures?
- Transfer Prices help reduce import and export duties. They are used to manage multinational tax exposures by exporting or shipping the goods at a low transfer price, to subsidiaries or related entities in countries with high tariff rates.
- It reduces income taxes and corporate taxes in high tax countries, by overpricing goods that are sold/transferred to subsidiaries in countries with low tax rate.

Business Calculators Inc. will pay an annual dividend of $2.25 per share next year. The company just announced that future dividends will be increasing by 0.75 percent annually. How much are you willing to pay for one share of this stock if you require a rate of return of 12.25 percent?
Answer: $19.57
Explanation:
You should be willing to pay for the what the stock is valued at the moment and you can use the Gordon Growth Model to value this stock.
Formula is,
Vs = D1/ Re - g
Vs = Value of stock
D1 = the next dividend
Re = Required Return
g = growth rate
Value of stock is,
= 2.25 / ( 12.25% - 0.75%)
= $19.565
= $19.57
You just made the last monthly payment on a 30 year mortgage -- the house is yours! In your joyous moment, you calculate how much you made in payments over those 30 years, and it is $647,514! If your interest rate was an APR of 6%, and you made equal monthly payments, how much did you originally borrow for this house
Answer:
$112,807
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of money you borrowed, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV= pressent value
FV= future value= 647,514
r= rate= 6%
n= number of periods of time= 30
PV=647,514/(1+0.06)^30
PV=647,514/(1.06)^30
PV=647,514/5.74
PV=112,807
According to this, you originally borrowed $112,807 for this house.
You are considering an investment in a clothes distributer. The company needs $ 110 comma 000 today and expects to repay you $ 121 comma 000 in a year from now. What is the IRR of this investment opportunity? Given the riskiness of the investment opportunity, your cost of capital is 17 %. What does the IRR rule say about whether you should invest?
Answer:
The IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
The IRR rule says that you should not invest
Explanation:
To calculate the IRR of this investment opportunity we shall calculate the following:
Let the IRR be x.
Now , Present Value of Cash Outflows=Present Value of Cash Inflows
110,000 =121,000/(1.0x)
x= 10%
Hence, the IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
Cost of Capital = 17%
The IRR rule says that one must not accept. This is because the IRR is lower than the cost of capital.
Hence you should not invest
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.

a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget?
b. What is the total required the production for the year under this revised budget?
c. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?
d. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?
e. After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 80,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem?
Answer:
a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget?
65 + 236.25 + 78.75 + 367.5 + 122.5 + 551.25 + 183.75 + 367.5 = 1,972.5 x $1,000 = $1,972,500
b. What is the total required production for the year under this revised budget?
52.5 + 80.5 + 94.5 + 76 = 303.5 x 1,000 = 303,500 units
c. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?
237 + 367.5 + 507.5 + 360 = 1,472 x 1,000 = 1,472,000 pounds x $0.80 = $1,177,600
d. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?
195.26 + 252.24 + 361.2 + 330.4 = 1,139.1 x $1,000 = $1,139,100
e. After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 80,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem?
No, since total budgeted sales for the year are 303,500 units, which divided by 4 quarters = 75,875 units per quarter. All you need to do is increase quarter 1 production by 15,000 units, and that would satisfy quarters 2 and 3 needs.

1. Below are some of the components for Prufrock Corp. income statement for the year ending December 31t, 2016. Use the values to fill in the income statement and calculate the net income. All values are given in millions of dollars and there may be more lines provided than needed.
Sales $70,000
Tax Rate = 34%
Depreciation = $16,000
Interest Paid = $450
Cost of Goods Sold $35,000
Income Statement
Earnings Before Interest and taxes (EBIT)
Taxable Income (EBT)
Net Income
2. Prufrock Corp. has 4,000 million shares outstanding. If they do not reinvest any of their earnings what will be the dividend per share paid out this year?
3. Assume that the dividend from Part B will be paid out one year from today. After the initial dividend from part B is paid, the dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year. Investors require a 10% return on their investment, what is the current share price?
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of Earnings Before Interest and taxes, Taxable income and Net income is shown below:-
Earnings Before Interest = Revenue from sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation
= $70,000 - $35,000 - $16,000
= $19,000
Taxable Income = Earnings Before Interest - Interest paid
= $19,000 - $450
= $18,550
Net Income = Taxable Income - Taxes
= $18,550 - ($18,550 × 34%)
= $18,550 - $6,307
= $12,243
2. The computation of dividend per share is shown below:-
Dividend per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding
= $12,243 ÷ 4,000 million
= $3.06
3. The computation of current share price is shown below:-
Current share price = Current dividend ÷ (Expected return - Growth rate)
= $3.06 ÷ (10% - 4%)
= $3.06 ÷ 6%
= $51
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
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:

One reason the federal government might "bail out" farmers in flood prone areas of the country? A. Such flooding is diversifiable, but the market for such insurance policies cannot clear without the assistance of the International Community. B. Such flooding is diversifiable, but insurance company CEOs are more concerned with their stockminusholder wealth than the wellminusbeing of farmers. C. Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only nonminusprofit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks. D. Such flooding is known to happen on a regular basis and therefore there is no "risk" to be insured against.
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.
In this situation since the risk associated with the flooding can't be diversified, this can lead to profit making entities to run from bailing out the farmers because they'll believe there's nothing to gain for them so it might be left for the government to take charge and help out.

MGM Resorts Incorporated is expected to grow at an exceptionally high rate over the next 2 years due to the success of Macau casino. Growth in dividends is expected to be 20% for the next 2 years before reverted back to a constant rate of 4% that is expected to continue indefinitely. If MGM Resorts’ paid a $1.20 dividend yesterday (D0=$1.20) and the stock is valued according to a required rate of return of 14%, what is the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today?
Answer:
The value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today we would have to calculate the following steps:
Step-1, Dividend for the next 2 years
Dividend per share in Year 0 (D0) = $1.20 per share
Dividend per share in Year 1 (D1) = $1.4400 per share [$1.20 x 120%]
Dividend per share in Year 2 (D2) = $1.7280 per share [$1.4400 x 120%]
Step-2, Share Price in Year 2
Dividend Growth Rate after Year 2 (g) = 4.00% per year
Required Rate of Return (Ke) = 14.00%
Share Price in Year 2 (P2) = D2(1 + g) / (Ke – g)
= $1.7280(1 + 0.04) / (0.14 – 0.04)
= $1.7971 / 0.10
= $17.97 per share
Step-3, The Current Stock Price

Sam is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: In order to swim for an hour, Sam must take time away from work, where he earns $10 per hour. This is in addition to paying a $5 entrance fee for the pool. Which basic principle of individual choice do these statements best illustrate? The cost of something is what you give up to get it. Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off. Trade can make everyone better off.
Answer:
The cost of something is what you give up to get it.
Explanation:
To partake in triathlon, Sam is forgoing the amount he would have earned if he went to work instead. This is known as the opportunity cost or implicit cost
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Sam has to pay $5 to partake in the triathlon. This amount is known as explicit cost. Explicit cost is the cost incurred in carrying out an activity.
Sam's accounting cost is $5
Sam's economic cost is $5 + $10 = $15

Answer:
The value for Other Assets on March 31, 2020 $29,000,000
Explanation:
Hopewell Corporation Balance Sheet As of December 31, 2019
Cash = $21,000,000
Other Assets = $26,000,000
Total Assets = $47,000,000
Liabilities = $20,000,000
Equity = $27,000,000
Total Liabilities & Equity = $47,000,000
Hopewell Corporation Income Statement January 1 to March 31, 2020
Revenue = $5,500,000
Expenses = $2,600,000
Net Income = $2,900,000
Between January 1 and March 31, 2020:
1. Cash decreases by $100,000
2. Liabilities decrease by $300,000
3. Paid-In Capital does not change
4. Dividends paid of $300,000
Assets
Cash = $21,000,000 - $100,000 = $20,000,000
Liabilities = $20,000,000 - $300,000 = $19,700,000
Equity = $27,000,000 + $2,600,000 - $300,000 = $29,300,000
Total Liabilities & Equity = $19,700,000 + $29,300,000 = $ 49,000,000
Other assets = $49,000,000 - $20,000,000 = $29,000,000
Assume there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area in which sea levels are rising. An additional 1000 homes are above the flood zone and at less risk. A levee could be built to prevent the rise in sea level from affecting the homes. It is worth $20,000 per home in the flood zone to have the levee built. It is worth $5,000 per home not in the flood zone to have the levee built. The levee costs $22,000,000 to build. Which of these makes the most economic sense?
A. The government should leave this to the free market.
B. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.
C. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. However the benefits do not exceed the costs anyway so there is no need for the government to intervene.
D. The free market will have some difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival. However it is excludable. So there is only a partial argument for government intervention here.
Answer: The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that if there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area whereby the sea levels are rising and there's an additional 1000 homes that are above the flood zone and are at less risk. Since the levee costs $22,000,000 to build, the best thing to do economic sense will be that the free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable.
It should be noted that in a free market, decisions are made by individuals through price signals and forces of demand and supply. Therefore since this is a public good as it is non rival and non excludeable, there will be need for the intervention of the government in order to collect taxes from the homeowners.

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.

Prepare the adjusting journal entries for the following transactions. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.) Supplies for office use were purchased during the year for $700, of which $200 remained on hand (unused) at year-end. Interest of $350 on a note receivable was earned at year-end, although collection of the interest is not due until the following year. At year-end, salaries and wages payable of $4,600 had not been recorded or paid. At year-end, one-half of a $3,000 advertising project had been completed for a client, but nothing had been billed or collected. Redeemed a gift card for $700 of services.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entries:
Debit Supplies Expense $500
Credit Supplies $500
To record supplies used during the year.
Debit Interests on Note Receivable $350
Credit Interest on Note $350
To record interest earned, but not received.
Debit Salaries & Wages Expense $4,600
Credit Salaries & Wages Payable $4,600
To record accrued salaries and wages.
Debit Account Receivable (Advertising Project) $1,500
Credit Service Revenue (Advertising Project) $1,500
To record one-half of advertising project completed.
Debit Cash Account $700
Credit Gift Card $700
To record redemption of a gift card of services.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are made at the end of an accounting period to record accrued expenses and revenue, depreciation charge, deferred expenses and revenue. These adjustments bring the accounts to agree with the accrual concept which insists that transactions which do not impact cash flows must be recognized in the period they occur.
Ronald, Inc. had the following balances and transactions during 2017: What is the amount of the company's Merchandise Inventory, as disclosed in the December 31, 2017 balance sheet, using the periodic weighted-average inventory costing method
Answer: $707
Explanation:
Using the Periodic System means that inventory is updated per period. This means that using the Weighted Average method, Ending Inventory prices will be calculated on the basis of all inventory in the period.
Weighted Average Method aims to ascribe a single price to all the inventory units sold by a company and so divides the entire cost by the number of units.
Number of Units bought in 2017,
Opening Balance = 12 units
June 10 = 24 units.
= 12 + 24
= 36 units.
Cost of the the 36 units
= (12 * 91) + (24 * 87)
= $3,180
Weighted Average Cost,
= 3,180/36
= $88.33
During the year they sold 28 units (10 + 18) meaning that 8 units (36 - 28) were left.
The closing Inventory on the 12/31/2020 therefore is,
= 8 * 88.33
= $706.66
= $707
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+0.05)^{10}*(1+0.09)^{-10} }{0.09-0.05}[/tex]
[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]
[tex]PV=$7,560,000[/tex]
PV = $7,560,000
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.
For the next 2 questions, use the financials of Acme Corporation. After adjusting revenue for accounts receivable and deferred revenue, how much cash did Acme generate from revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2017
Answer: B. $892.1 million
Explanation:
The Revenue was $939,393 million
When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.
Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.
Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504
= $87,692 million
Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358
= $40,372 million
The Cash generated is therefore;
= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372
= $892,073
= $892.1 million
