Answer:
COGS= $598,020
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use.
We need to deduct the inventory used for personal use.
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
COGS= 67,000 + 610,000 - 77,200 - 1,780
COGS= $598,020
Brian and Kim have a 12-year-old child, Stan. For 2019, Brian and Kim have taxable income of $52,000, and Stan has interest income of $4,500. Click here to access the income tax rate schedules. If Stan's parents elected to report Stan's income on his parents' return, what would the tax on Stan's income be?
Answer:
The answer is $393
Explanation:
Solution
In this case, we will find the tax on Stan's income which is stated below:
Stan's adjusted gross income = 4500
The standardized deduction = 1050
The unearned taxable income = 3450
With ordinary rate, the less statutory deduction is = 1050
The taxable income that is subject to his parent's rate = 2400
The tax with ordinary rate = (1050 * 10%) =105
The Tax with parent's rate is = (2400 * 12%) = 288
Hence,
The tax on Stan's income would be = 105 + 288 = $393

As an employee in the Lottery Commission, your job is to design a new prize. Your idea is to create two grand prize choices: (1) receiving $50,000 at the end of each year beginning in one year for 20 consecutive years, or (2) receiving $500,000 today followed by a one-time payment at the end of 20 years. Using an interest rate of 6%, which of the following comes closest to the amount prize (2) needs to pay at the end of year 20 in order that both prizes to have the same present value?
a. $ 326,649
b. $ 440,463
c. $ 114,932
d. $ 393,342
e. $ 235,712
Answer:
The correct option is $235,712,option E
Explanation:
The present value of prize(1) can be computed by using the excel pv formula as shown below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is interest rate of 6%
nper is the number of years payment would be made which is 20
pmt is the amount of money received per year which is $50,000
fv is the total future worth of the prize (1) which is unknown
=-pv(6%,20,50000,0)
=$573,496.06
The difference between present value of prize(1) $573,496.06 and $500,000 receivable from prize (2) today is $73,496.06
The difference is today's worth, its future worth can be computed thus:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
PV is $73,496.06
r is 6%
n is 20 years
FV=$73,496.06*(1+6%)^20 =$ 235,711.82
The amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B. $440,463.
Data and Calculations:
N (# of periods) = 20 years
I/Y (Interest per year) = 6%
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $50,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:
Present Value (PV) = $573,496.06
Sum of all periodic payments = $1,000,000.00
Total Interest = $426,503.94
Thus, the amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B.

A company’s trial balance included the following account balances: Accounts Payable $ 19,207 Accounts Receivable 81,336 Cash 73,324 Income Tax Payable 3,512 Inventory 25,816 Note Payable, due in two years 1,709 Equipment 54,128 Stockholders’ Equity 202,808 Supplies 5,512 Wages Payable 12,880 What is the amount of the current ratio? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
5.22
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the current ratio is as follows:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities .......... (1)
From the question, we have:
Current assets = Accounts Receivable + Cash + Inventory + Supplies = $81,336 + $73,324 + $25,816 + $5,512 = $185,988.
Note: Equipment is not a current asset but a fixed asset.
Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Tax Payable + Wages Payable = $19,207 + $3,512 + $12,880 = $35,599.
Note: Note Payable, due in two years is not a current liability but a long term liability since it is not payable within one year.
Substituting the values into equation (1) we have:
Current ratio = $185,988 / $35,599 = 5.22
The current ratio of 5.22 indicates that the company more than enough current assets, 5.22 times, to pay of its current liabilities.

Shulman Inc. has the following data, in thousands. Assuming a 365-day year, what is the firm's cash conversion cycle? Annual sales = $45,000 Annual cost of goods sold = $30,000 Inventory = $4,500 Accounts receivable = $1,800 Accounts payable = $2,500
Answer:
38.93
Explanation:
Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period + Average Collection Period - Payable Deferral Period
Inventory Conversion Period = 365 * Inventory / Annual cost of goods sold
365 days * 4500 / 30000 = 54.75
Average Collection Period = 365 days * Account receivable / sales
= 365 * 1800 / 45000 = 14.60
Payable Deferral Period = 365 days * Account payable / sales = 365 * 2500 / 30000 = 30.42
Hence, Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = 54.75 + 14.60 - 30.42 = 38.93
The firm Cash Conversion Cycle is 38.93

The foreign exchange gain or loss on Levi's records at year-end for this transaction will be
Answer: $1500 loss
Explanation:
From the question, On December 2, 20X1, Levi sold confectionary items to a foreign company by selling at a price of 50,000 yen when direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.15.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.15
= $57500
The account has not been settled as of the year ended December 31, 20X1, when exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.12.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.12
= $56000
Foreign exchange loss:
= $57500 - $56000
= $1500 loss

Marx and Springsteen provides hair-cutting services in the local community. In February, the business cut the hair of 200 clients, earned $ 5,100 in revenues, and incurred the following operating costs:
Hair saloon expense: $500
Building rent expense: 1458
Utilities expense: 200
Depreciation expense--- Equipment: 50
Required:
What was the cost of service to provide one haircut?
Answer:
Cost of service to provide one haircut is $ 11.04
Explanation:
Hair saloon expense: $500
Building rent expense: $1,458
Utilities expense: $200
Depreciation expense --- Equipment: $50
Total operating cost = Hair saloon expense + Building rent expense + Utilities expense + Depreciation expense
= $500 + $1,458 + $200 + $50
= $ 2,208
Total hair cuts = 200
Therefore, cost per hair cut = Total operating cost ÷ Total hair cuts
= $2,208 ÷ $200
= $ 11.04
Suppose Binder corporatio's common stock has a return of 17.61 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.68 percent, the market return is 12.4 percent and there is no unsystematic risk affecting Binder's return. Given the one-factor arbitrage pricing model, what is the factor beta
Answer:
1.597
Explanation:
The computation of the factor beta using the one-factor arbitrage pricing model is shown below:
As we know that
= (Expected rate of return - risk-free rate of return) ÷ (market rate of return-risk-free rate of return)
= (17.61% - 3.68%) ÷ (12.4% - 3.68%)
= 1.597
We simply applied the above formula to determine the factor beta and the same is to be considered
Disposal of Fixed Asset Equipment acquired on January 6 at a cost of $483,000, has an estimated useful life of 10 years and an estimated residual value of $63,000. a. What was the annual amount of depreciation for the Years 1-3 using the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer: $42,000
Explanation:
Using a straight line Depreciation method means that the Equipment will be depreciated uniformly throughout it's life. i.e by the same amount.
Depreciation = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life
= (483,000 - 63,000) / 10
= 420,000/10
= $42,000
The annual Depreciation amount for Year 1 - 3 is $42,000 and will be the same as long as the Equipment is in service.
Adams operates his $57500 firm using his own equity. Bob operates his firm with $28750 of his own money plus $28750 of debt at a cost of 5 percent interest. Calculate Adams's and Bob's return on equity if their respective businesses produce earnings before interest and tax of $7000. Assume perfect markets.
Answer:
Adam return on equity is 12.1%. while Bob return on equity is 19.3%
Explanation:
Given that:
Now,
For Adam:
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) = Net income + Interest + Taxes
EBIT = $7000
The equity of shareholders = $57500
The number of debt by which Adams shows no interest expense and no tax expense as perfect market presumed is stated s follows:
ROE = Net income /Average Shareholder Equity
=$7000/$57500
=0.121739
Therefore, Adam return on equity is 12.1%
For Bob
The equity of shareholders = $28750
The expense (interest) = Debt * Interest rate
=$28750 * 0.05
= 1437.5
Thus
Net income = EBIT - Interest
= 7000 -1437.5
=5562.5
Now,
ROE = Net income /Average Shareholder Equity
=5562.5 /$28750
= 0.19347
=19.3%
Therefore, Bob return on equity is 19.3%
In 2021, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral mine for $1,150,000. Additional costs of $448,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 310,000 tons of ore would be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $110,000.
To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of $102,300. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $51,500 was purchased and installed at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for $5,000 after the mining project is completed.
In 2021, 41,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2022, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from 310,000 to 397,500. During 2019, 71,000 tons were extracted, of which 51,000 tons were sold.
Required:
a. Compute depletion and depreciation of the mine and the mining facilities and equipment for 2018 and 2019. Marion uses the units-of-production method to determine depreciation on mining facilities and equipment.
b. Compute the book value of the mineral mine, structures, and equipment as of December 31, 2019.

. Gwen is leading a meeting and wants to make sure that they stick to the agenda and end on time. What should she do to move the meeting along? a. Say as much as possible during the meeting. b. Move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. c. Not worry so much about time; the most important thing is to make sure that all agenda items are discussed fully. d. Ask anyone who monopolizes the conversation to leave.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
When leading a meeting with many different topics, the best way to move the meeting along faster so that it ends in time is to move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. This would remove the unimportant topics from that specific meeting and allow the very specific important topics to be discussed thoroughly in that meeting, thus moving it along but still being as efficient as possible. The divergent topics can be scheduled to be discussed at a later date when they are of a higher priority.
Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below:
Claimjumper Makeover Total
Sales $106,000 $53,000 $159,000
Variable expenses 32,800 6,950 39,750
Contribution margin $73,200 $46,050 119,250
Fixed expenses 82,575
Net operating income $36,675
Requirement:
1: Compute the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company.
2: Compute the overall break-even point for the company in sales dollars.
3: Verify the overall break-even point for the company by constructing a contribution format income statement showing the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of overall contribution margin ratio is shown below:-
Overall contribution margin ratio = Total contribution ÷ Total sales
= $119,250 ÷ $159,000
= 75%
2. The computation of overall break-even point for the company in sales is shown below:-
Overall Break even = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin
= $82,575 ÷ 75%
= $110,100
3. The overall break-even point for the company by constructing a contribution format income statement showing the appropriate levels of sales for the two products is shown below:-
here, Sales at Break even in the ratio will be 2:1
Particulars Claimjumper Makeover Total
Sales $106,000 $53000 $159,000
($106,000 ÷ $159,000 × $110,100) ($53,000 ÷ $159,000 × $110,100)
Break even
sales $73,400 $36,700 $110,100
Particulars Claimjumper Makeover Total
Sales $73,400 $36,700 $110,100
Variable expense $22,712 $4,813 $27,525
Contribution margin $50,688 $31,887 $82,575
Fixed expense $82,575
Net operating income 0
Working Note
Variable expense for Claimjumper = Variable expenses ÷ Sales × Break even sales
= $32,800 ÷ $106,000 × $73,400
= $22,712
Variable expense for Makeover = Variable expenses ÷ Sales × Break even sales
= $6,950 ÷ $53,000 × $36,700
= $4,813

Explanation:
a) Straight-line method of depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation charge over the life of the asset. It is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset and dividing the resulting figure by the number of useful life in years. It is very simple, but does not take into consideration maintenance costs incurred as assets age. Therefore, it does not spread the costs of the asset evenly over the periods the asset is in use, or according to the productivity value of the asset in each period.
b) Declining balance method of depreciation accelerates depreciation charge initially but the annual expense declines with age of the fixed asset. Under this method, depreciation expense is calculated by applying the depreciation rate to the book value of the asset at the start of the period.
Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $130,000 per year forever with the first payment one year from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 2.5 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today
Answer:
My grandparents deposit $5200000 today.
Explanation:
The annual return earned by trust fund = $2.5 percent
It is given that the trust will pay annually a certain amount for infinite period so annual pay = $130000 per year.
Now we have to calculate the invested or deposited amount by grandparents today.
The present value of future constant annual payment over infinite period = (P/A, i%, n = infinity) or 1 / i%
The amount that should be deposited today :
[tex]= 130000 \times \frac{1}{2.5 \ percent} \\= 5200000[/tex]
Grosheim Incorporated has fixed expenses of $211,500 per year. Right now, Grosheim Incorporated is selling its products for $100 per unit. Management is contemplating a 20% increase in the selling price for the next year. Variable costs are currently 40% of sales revenue and are not expected to change in dollar amount on a per unit basis next year (the company will pay the same amount for variable costs next year). If fixed costs increase 10% next year, and the new selling price per unit goes into effect, how many units will need to be sold to breakeven?
Answer:
Breakeven in units is 3231
Explanation:
Breakeven units=fixed costs/contribution margin per unit.
new selling price=$100*(1+20%)=$120
variable cost per unit=$120*40%=$48
contribution margin=selling price per unit-variable cost per unit
contribution margin per unit=$120-$48=$72
fixed costs next year=$211,500*(1+10%)=$232,650.00
breakeven units=$232,650.00/$72=3231
