suppose dave's discount merchandise inventory account showed a balance of 8000 before the year end adjustments. The physical count of goods on hand totaled 7400. Dave uses a perpetual inventory system. To adjust the accounts, which entry would the company make

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold DR 600

Merchandise inventory CR 600

Explanation:

A perpetual inventory system is a method of inventory management that is used in order to records real-time transactions of received or sold stock. In this system, based on the information provided the company would make the following entry

Cost of goods sold DR 600

Merchandise inventory CR 600

This is because there is a difference on physical goods on hand of 600, meaning that they sold that amount throughout the year. Which is made as a Cost of Goods Sold entry. The company also needs to enter the amount of goods that have been acquired by a distributor, wholesaler, or retailer from suppliers which would be the same.

Taggart Technologies is considering issuing new common stock and using the proceeds to reduce its outstanding debt.

Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Net operating cash flow 772
Other income (expense), net (30)
a. Compute Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year.b. Compute Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year.c. Compute cost of goods sold for the year.d. Compute the income before income tax for Amazon.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year is $1,085 million

(b) Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year is $3,914 million

(c) Cost of goods sold for the year is $8,264 million

(d)  Income before income tax for Amazon is $366 million

Explanation:

(a) Beginning cash balance = Ending cash balance - net increase in cash for the year

= $1,104 million - $19 million

= $1,085 million

(b) Total assets = Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity

$4,417 million = Total liabilities + $503 million

Total liabilities = ($4,417 - $503) million

= $3,914 million

(c) Cost of goods sold = net sales - gross profit

= $10,722 million - $2,458  million

= $8,264 million

(d)  Income before income tax = Gross profit - operating expenses - other expenses

= $2,458 million - $2,062 million - $30 million

= $ 366 million

Answers

Answer:

$56,250.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which we will use to solve this particular problem or Question;

=>" Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) = $1,350 for Basis and Fair market value = $ 375 "

=> "Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months 12,000 for Basis and 10,875 for fair market value."

=>" Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months 15,000 for Basis and 18,000 for fair market value. "

=> "Real estate held as an investment for two years 15,000 for basis and 30,000 for fair market value."

Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year can be calculated by adding the the fair markets values of :

Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) + Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months + Real estate held as an investment for two years

Then, the result gotten will be added to the Basis value for Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months. Thus;

$ 375 + 10,875 + 30,000 = 41,250.

41,250 + 15,000 = $56,250.

Speed, size, and strength are thought to be important factors in football performance. The article "Physical and Performance Characteristics of NCAA Division I Football Players" (Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport [1990]: 395–401) reported on physical characteristics of Division I starting football players in the 1988 football season. Information for teams ranked in the top 20 was easily obtained, and it was reported that the mean weight of starters on top-20 teams was 105 kg. A random sample of 33 starting players (various positions were represented) from Division I teams that were not ranked in the top 20 resulted in a sample mean weight of 103.3 kg and a sample standard deviation of 16.3 kg. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight for non-top-20 starters is less than 105, the known value for top-20 teams?

Answers

Answer:

no

Explanation:

H0: mean of sample=105

Ha: mean of sampe≠ 105

t-statistic= (population mean-sample mean)/(standard deviation/√sample size)

t-statistic= (105-103.3)/(16.3/√33)

t-statistic= 0.5991

degress of freedom= 32

for alpha 0.05, p-value from t-distributino table is 1.697

since t-statistic is less than the p-value, null hypothesis is accepted.

There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight for non-top-20 starters is less than 105 the known value for top-20 teams

In a meeting with management, you explain that you'll only consider a unit categorized, according to the BCG matrix, as a question mark. Here are your choices:Unit A has revenue of $27 billion and a profit of $6 billion. While its product is based on a new technology that is rapidly increasing in sales, the product currently lags the market share of competitors.Unit B has revenue of $30 billion and a profit of $7 billion. Its market share is strong and growing. While its product is based on an outdated technology, the product has a loyal following for now.Which of the corporation's two profitable units meets your criterion?

Answers

Answer:

Unit A has revenue of $27 billion and a profit of $6 billion. While its product is based on a new technology that is rapidly increasing in sales, the product currently lags the market share of competitors.

Explanation:

According to the BCG Matrix, question marks are business units that operate in rapidly growing markets but currently only possess a low market share.

This results in a lot of cash being consumed by the business unit, but also the possibility of high growth. It is called a question mark because it is uncertain if the business unit will be successful or not. This means that they are very risky investments.

d. future income is worth less than present income

Explanation:

Remember, since we want an exception to all the possible reasons for higher salaries of those in medical and architectural profession, we carefully examine the reasons given.

However, in no way is it because those of this profession (architect, medical doctors) would earn future income worth less than their present income a basis for their higher salaries than other jobs, since most often they earn more as they the years goes by in their profession.

g Real and nominal variables are highly intertwined, and changes in the money supply change real GDP. Most economists would agree that this statement accurately describes a. both the short run and the long run. b. the short run, but not the long run. c. the long run, but not the short run. d. neither the long run nor the short run.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

GDP usually, is fixed in the short run. Thus, in the short-term, money supply will increase aggregate demand and prices will follow.

In the long term, however, real GDP (which is economic output that has been adjusted for price fluctuations), an increase in the money supply will create an increase in the GDP due to aggregate demand.

The US economy, for example, displays a strong positive correlation between the amount of money supplied and it's GDP growth between 1994 and 2009.

What is the total overhead applied?
Total overhead applied $

Answers

Answer:

Total allocated overhead= $2,081,094

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For 2017, the company had 11,300 orders and used 51,200 machine hours, and labor hours totaled 491,000

Overhead rates for each activity:

Ordering and receiving= $7.22 per order

Food processing= $7.79 per machine hour

Packaging= $3.26 per labor hour

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Ordering and receiving= 7.22*11,300= $81,586

Food processing= 7.79*51,200= $398,848

Packaging= 3.26*491,000= $1,600,660

Total overhead= $2,081,094

3. Total Travel Expenses for May $21,000

4. Other Expense  $ 36,000

5.  Operating Income $ 65,500

Explanation:

Given

Adger Corporation

                     Fixed Element        Variable Element           Actual Total

                      per Month                per Customer            Served for May

Revenue                                            $5,000                        $160,000

Employee Salaries

& wages           $50,000                   $1,100                           $88,000

Travel expenses                                 $600                           $19,000

Other expenses $36,000                                                      $34,500

There were 35 customers.

Revenue = $5000 per customer

We can easily calculate as we have been given the number of  customers and the variable element of expense per customer.

1. Total Revenue in May = 5000 * 35= $ 175,000

Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 per customer

Total Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 *35= $ 38500

2. Total Salaries & wages For May = Variable + Fixed

                                                     = $ 38500 + $50,000= $ 88500

Travel expenses = $600per customer

3. Total Travel Expenses for May = $ 600 *35=   $21,000

4. Other Expense = Fixed Expenses = $ 36,000 ( there are no variable expenses)

5.  Operating Income= Revenue - Employee Salaries - Travel Expenses

                            = $ 175,000- $ 88500 - $ 21,000= $ 65,500

Other expenses are included in the net income statement not operating income statement.

Oriole Company has the following items: common stock, $1610000; treasury stock, $217000; deferred income taxes, $254000 and retained earnings, $782000. What total amount should Oriole Company report as stockholders’ equity?

Answers

Answer:

Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.

Explanation:

Stockholders' equity is also the corporation's total book value. In other word, it is the amount of difference between the Corporation Asset and its liability

Stockholders' equity for Oriole company can be derived using : Common stock + Retained earnings - Treasury stock

Stockholders' equity = 1,610,000 + 782,000 - 217,000

Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.

We also need to know that deferred income taxes is not a component of stockholders' equity thus it will not be considered in stockholders' equity calculation.

Correct answer is $ 21,75,000.

A university spent $1.3 million to install solar panels atop a parking garage. These panels will have a capacity of 200 kilowatts (kW) and have a life expectancy of 20 years. Suppose that the discount rate is 30%, that electricity can be purchased at $0.30 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), and that the marginal cost of electricity production using the solar panels is zero.
Hint: It may be easier to think of the present value of operating the solar panels for 1 hour per year first.
Approximately how many hours per year will the solar panels need to operate to enable this project to break even?

Answers

Answer:

It will take 6,534.31 hours per year for the solar panels to operate to enable this project to break even

Explanation:

Discount rate = 30% = 0.3

Looking at one hour of operation in each year = 200 kW x $0.30 Kw/hr

= $60 value of electricity per year

Compound interest factor for a discount rate of 30% = 3.3158

(taken from compound interest factor table or computed using formula ∑1/(1+r)^t , where r = 30%, and t = 1 to 30)

Present value of operating the solar panels for 1 hour per year = 60 × 3.3158 = $ 198.95

For break even it would need to run = 1.3 million ÷ 198.95

= 6,534.31 hours per year

Artville is deciding whether to purchase a new statue for the center of town. The statue will cost the city $17,000 and will only be purchased if the costs are covered. The city is asking for households to help cover the cost of the statue, but households are not forced to contribute.

Required:
a. If households are asked to contribute $5 each to help cover the cost of the statue, how many households will need to contribute?
b. If the population of Artville is 4,000 households, of which 3,000 households are expected to free ride, will the city be able to afford the statue if it charges each household $14?

Answers

Answer: a. $3,400 households

b. No.

Explanation:

a. The cost of the statue is $17,000 and each household is asked to contribute $5 to help cover the cost. To find out how many families one can divide the amount needed by the amount asked of the households,

= 17,000/5

= 3,400 households

If 3,400 households each pay $5 then the town of Artville will be able to afford the statue.

b. This question speaks to a social problem referred to a the Free-rider problem. This is when people in society benefit from something without contributing fairly towards the benefit they are accruing from the thing. 3,000 households out of 4,000 are expected to be free-riders. This means that only 1,000 will cover the cost of the statue.

If those 1,000 households pay the $14 required, the town would only raise,

= 1,000 * 14

=$14,000

$14,000 is less than the cost of the statue which is $17,000 and so the town of Artville will have to do without a statue as they simply cannot afford one.

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $92 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $75.50. a. Compute the percentage total return. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What was the dividend yield

Answers

Answer:

(a) Percentage return = -$14.20 ÷ $92 = -15.43%

(b) Dividend Yield = $2.30 ÷ $92 = 2.50%

Explanation:

Initial price per share= $92.00

Ending share price = $75.50

Capital loss = $75.50 - $92.00  = -$16.50

Dividend = $2.30

Net return = -$16.50 + $2.30 = -$14.20

(a) Percentage return = (-$14.20 ÷ $92) × 100% = -15.43%

(b) Dividend Yield = ($2.30 ÷ $92) × 100% = 2.50%

Discount-Mart issues $19 million in bonds on January 1, 2021. The bonds have a seven-year term and pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. Below is a partial bond amortization schedule for the bonds: Date Cash Paid Interest Expense Increase in Carrying Value Carrying Value 01/01/2021 $ 17,233,953 06/30/2021 $ 950,000 $ 1,034,037 $ 84,037 17,317,990 12/31/2021 950,000 1,039,079 89,079 17,407,069 06/30/2022 950,000 1,044,424 94,424 17,501,493 12/31/2022 950,000 1,050,090 100,090 17,601,583 What is the market annual rate of interest on the bonds

Answers

Answer: 12%

Explanation:

The semi annual market rate of interest on the bonds will be the interest expense divided by the carrying value i.e issue price of bond which is then multiplied by 100%. This will be mathematically expressed as:

= 1,034,037/17,233,953 × 100

= 0.06 × 100

= 6%

This implies that the semi annual market interest rate is 6%.

Since we are told to calculate the market annual rate of interest on the bonds, we multiply the value of 6% by 2 since 12 months make a year and we used 6 months for the calculation above which is semi annual. This will be:

= 6% × 2

= 12%

Therefore, the market annual rate of interest on the bonds is 12%

The net income reported on the income statement for the current year was $261000. Depreciation was $39900. Account receivable and inventories decreased by $11800 and $34900, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable increased, respectively, by $1100 and $8300. How much cash was provided by operating activities?

Answers

Answer:

$ 354,800.00  

Explanation:

The net cash amount provided by operating activities in the year is  determined by adding depreciation to net income as well as the decrease in both accounts receivable and inventories.

There is also the need to to deduct increase in prepaid expenses and add the increase in accounts payable as done below:

net cash provided by operating activities=$261,000+$39,900+$11,800+$34,900-$1,100+$8,300=$354,800.00  

A 5-year corporate bond yields 10.70%. A 5-year municipal bond of equal risk yields 6.50%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds? (Round your final answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The multiple choices are as follows:

a.

25.40%

b.

29.03%

c.

39.25%

d.

33.98%

e.

27.38%

The correct option is C,39.25% federal tax rate

Explanation:

In determining the federal tax that one would be indifferent in choosing between the two bonds, we equate the yield of the two bonds as follows with tax element being deducted from corporate bond yield:

6.50%=10.70%*(1-t)

The t is the tax rate which is the unknown

divide both sides by 10.70%

6.50%/10.70%=1-t

0.607476636 =1-t

t=1-0.607476636

t=0.392523364 =39.25%

Linguini Inc. adopted dollar-value LIFO (DVL) as of January 1, 2018, when it had an inventory of $841,000. Its inventory as of December 31, 2018, was $874,000 at year-end costs and the cost index was 1.15. What was DVL inventory on December 31, 2018

Answers

Answer:

760,000

Explanation:

First find ending inventory at base pricing:

$874,000/1.15 = 760,000

Calculate real dollar increase/decrease in quantity

760,000-841,000 = -81,000

Since it is a decrease in quantity, you use prior period cost index. Prior period is the base year so you just use 1.0 which means that -81,000 stays the same

so now it is 841,000-81,000=760,000

The dollar-value LIFO (DVL)  inventory on December 31, 2018 will be 760,000.

What is dollar-value LIFO (DVL)  inventory?

The latest in, first out cost layering principle is a version on which the dollar-value LIFO method is based. In essence, the technology aggregates cost data for huge quantities of inventory, eliminating the need to create unique cost layers for each inventory item. Instead, pools of inventory goods are organized into layers.

Find ending stock at base prices first:

$874,000/1.15 = 760,000

Determine the actual dollar gain or decrease in the amount.

760,000-841,000 = -81,000

Using the preceding period cost index is appropriate because the quantity has decreased. Since the prior period is the base year, you only need to utilize 1.0, so that -81,000 remains the same.

Consequently, it is now 841,000-81,000=760,000.

Lane Company manufactures a single product that requires a great deal of hand labor. Overhead cost is applied on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead should be $5.80 per standard direct labor-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead should be $3,087,000 per year.
The company’s product requires 4 pounds of material that has a standard cost of $12.50 per pound and 1.5 hours of direct labor time that has a standard rate of $13.90 per hour.The company planned to operate at a denominator activity level of 315,000 direct labor-hours and to produce 210,000 units of product during the most recent year. Actual activity and costs for the year were as follows:
Number of units produced 252,000
Actual direct labor-hours worked 409,500
Actual variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 1,351,350
Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 3,276,000

Answers

Answer:

1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year. Break the rate down into variable and fixed elements.

total standard overhead rate = $15.60standard variable overhead rate = $5.80standard fixed overhead rate = $9.80

3a. Compute the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the year’s production.

1.5 direct labor hours x 252,000 units = 378,000 hours

0                                                              0

4. Determine the reason for the underapplied or overapplied overhead from (3)

two different factors affected the overhead costs:

Actual labor hours were higher than budgeted, since 378,000 should have been used to produce the 252,000 units, but 409,500 were used instead. That results in an unfavorable variance of 31,500 labor hours (8.3% variance). Even though labor hour variance was unfavorable, the actual overhead costs incurred were much lower than expected. The favorable variance regarding overhead costs was much larger than the unfavorable variance in labor hours. The actual total overhead per labor hour = $11.30 vs. $15.60 (standard), which represents a 27.6% favorable variance.

Explanation:

variable overhead $5.80 per direct labor hour

fixed overhead $3,087,000

each unit requires:

4 pounds of materials at standard cost of $12.50 per pound

1.5 direct labor hours at standard rate of $13.90 per hour

fixed overhead per direct labor hour = $9.80

total budgeted production 210,000 units

total budgeted direct labor hours 315,000

actual units produced 252,000

actual direct labor hours 409,500

actual variable manufacturing $1,351,350

actual fixed manufacturing $3,276,000

applied variable cost = $5.80 x 378,000 labor hours = $2,192,400

applied fixed costs = $9.80 x 378,000 labor hours = $3,704,400
