Answer:
a. Journalize the entries to record the following.
1. Issuance of bonds on April 1, Year 1.
Dr Cash 1,593,666
Cr Bonds payable 1,400,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 193,666
2. First interest payment on October 1, Year 1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
premium per coupon = $193,666 / 10 coupons = $19,366.60
Dr Interest expense 22,633.40
Dr Premium on bonds payable 19,366.60
Cr Cash 42,000
b. Explain why the company was able to issue the bonds for $1,593,666 (not $22,282,220) rather than for the face amount of $1,400,000 (not $21,300,000).
Since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, investors were willing to pay more for the bond (premium) than its face value. At $1,593,666, the actual returns will equal the returns of a $1,400,000 bond issued at market rate.
On April 17, 2021, the Loadstone Mining Company purchased the rights to a coal mine. The purchase price plus additional costs necessary to prepare the mine for extraction of the coal totaled $4,950,000. The company expects to extract 990,000 tons of coal during a four-year period. During 2021, 249,000 tons were extracted and sold immediately.Required:
1. Calculate depletion for 2021.
2. Is depletion considered part of the product cost and included in the cost of inventory?
Answer:
1. Depletion for 2021 will be derived if the "tons which were extracted and sold immediately" is divided by "the Depletion per ton"
Depletion for 2021 = Extracted and sold tons in 2021 / depletion per ton
Depletion for 2021 = 249,000 tons * $5 per tons
Depletion for 2021 = $1,245,000
Where as the depletion per ton is be derived when the purchase price plus additional costs necessary is divided extract of tons of coals during the 4 year period.
Depletion per ton = $4,950,000 / 990000
Depletion per ton = $5 per ton
2. Depletion is not considered as part of product cost. It is shown as expense on income statement and reduced from the value of natural resource. So it is equivalent to depreciation of assets.
Suppose you are an analyst in the oil refinery industry and are responsible for estimating the equilibrium price and quantity of home heating oil. To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil.
Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complement to heating oil) and the price of natural gas (a substitute for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil.
1. Suppose that all of the determinants of the supply and demand for heating oil are equal to their initital values. The equilibrium quantity in this market is ___ barrels of heating oil per day,
A. 60,000
B. 50,000
C. 70,000
D. 80,000
E. 40,000
2. and the equilibrium price is ____ per barrel.
A. $40
B. $70
C. $60
D. $50
E. $80
Answer:
1. 80,000
2. $40 per barrel
Explanation:
1. As we can see from the table provided The equilibrium quantity in this market is 80,000 barrels of heating oil per day, as quantity demanded match quantity supplied
2. As we can see from the table provided The equilibrium price is $40 per barrel as in this cost there is an intersection of quantity demanded and quantity supplied. In other words the equilibrium price and quantity could be find out when the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
Denominator hours for May 15,000 Actual hours worked during May 14,000 Standard hours allowed for May 12,000 Flexible budget fixed overhead cost $45,000 Actual fixed overhead costs for May $48,000 Danske Company had total underapplied overhead of $15,000. Additional information is as follows: Variable Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $42,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 38,000 Fixed Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $30,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 27,000 What is the actual total overhead for the period?
Answer:
$87,000
Explanation:
As per given data
Actual hours = 15,000 hours
Standard hours = 14,000 hours
Standard hours allowed = 12,000 hours
Flexible budget fixed overhead cost = $45,000
Actual fixed overhead costs = $48,000
Underapplied overhead = $15,000
Variable Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $42,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 38,000 hours
Fixed Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $30,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 27,000 hours
Total Overhead is the sum of all the variable and fixed overheads applied to the products and under / over applied overheads.
Applied overheads are the amount of overheads applied using actual activity and standard rate.
Actual Overheads = Applied variable overheads + Applied fixed overheads + under applied overheads
Placing values in the formula
Actual Overheads = $42,000 + $30,000 + $15,000
Actual Overheads = $87,000

10 3,120 2,260
11 2,960 1,650
12 3,240 2,250
To calculate the fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,400 - 2,960) / (2,620 - 1,650)
Variable cost per unit= $1.484536
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,400 - (1.484536*2,620)
Fixed costs= $510
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,960 - (1.484536*1,650)
Fixed costs= 510

Mark is creating Nu2U, a Web site through which he will enter into contracts over the Internet. In his standard online contract, he includes a provision which states "Any disputes under this contract will be resolved under the laws of the State of Texas." This is an example of a
Answer: Choice of Law Clause
Explanation:
The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.
This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.
It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.

Determine the overhead allocated to Job XZ3275 which has 150 pieces, requires 200 miles of driving, and 0.75 hours of logistics.
Answer:
Total allocation= $318.25
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Loading and unloading: Number of pieces - $85,785 - 90,300
Travel: Miles driven - $468,000 - 585,000
Logistics: Hours - $65,520 - 3,120
Determine the overhead allocated to Job XZ3275 which has 150 pieces, requires 200 miles of driving, and 0.75 hours of logistics.
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Loading and unloading= 85,785/90,300= $0.95 per piece
Travel= 468,000/585,000= $0.8 per mile
Logistics= 65,520/3,120= $21 per hour
Finally, we can allocate overhead to Job XZ3275:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Loading and unloading= 0.95*150= $142.5
Travel= 0.8*200= $160
Logistics= 21*0.75= $15.75
Total allocation= $318.25
Fremont Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $89 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 60% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $16
Direct labor 20
Factory overhead (25% of direct labor) 5
Total cost per unit $41
If Fremont Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 5% of the direct labor costs.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated September 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case.
b. Assuming there were no better alternative uses for the spare capacity, it would ______________ to manufacture the carrying cases. Fixed factory overhead is________to this decision.
Answer:
A.Total cost 41 93 (52)
B. It would be much better to manufacture the carrying cases .
While Fixed factory overhead is less important to this decision.
Explanation:
Fremont Computer Company Differential Analysis
Make Alternative 1: Buy Alternative 2:
Differential effect on net income
Alternative 1 : Alternative 2: Differential effect
Purchase Price - 89 (89)
Direct material 16 - 16
Direct labor 20 - 20
Variable 1 - 1
manufacture overhead (20×5%)
Fixed (5-1) 4 4 -
manufacture overhead
Total cost 41 93 (52)
The Company should choose Alternative 1
which is Make carrying case
B. It would be much better to manufacture the carrying cases.
While Fixed factory overhead is less important to this decision.
Therefore in make or buy decision the selling price of the product will be less important because the selling price was not provided which means it does not have effect on the decision of buy or make.

Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000. The break-even point in units is
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000.
First, we need to calculate the proportion of sales:
Product A= 7,500/10,000= 0.75
Product B= 2,500/10,000= 0.25
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the break-even point in units:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/ (0.75*33 + 0.25*56)
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/38.75
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units

1. The computation of standard quantity of kilograms of plastic is shown below:-
Standard quantity of kilograms allowed = Helmets manufactured × Required kilograms of plastic
= 3,100 × 0.62
= 1,922
2. The computation of standard materials cost allowed is shown below:-
Standard cost allowed for actual output = Standard quantity of kilograms allowed × Cost per kilogram
= 1,922 × $7
= $13,454
3. The computation of materials spending variance is shown below:-
Materials spending variance = Plastic cost - Standard cost allowed for actual output
= $13,708 - $13,454
= $254 Unfavorable
4. The computation of materials price variance and the materials quantity variance is shown below:-
Materials price variance = Plastic cost - (Plastic in kilograms × Cost per kilograms)
= $13,708 - (2,077 × $7)
= 831 Favorable
Materials quantity variance = Cost per kilograms × (Plastic in kilograms - Standard quantity of kilograms allowed)
= $7 × (2,077 - 1,922)
= $1,085 Unfavorable
So, we have applied the above formulas.
When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.
Use the starting balance sheet, income statement, and the list of changes to answer the question. Gulf Shipping Company Balance Sheet As of December 31, 2019 (amounts in thousands) Cash 38,000 Liabilities 22,000 Other Assets 27,000 Equity 43,000 Total Assets 65,000 Total Liabilities & Equity 65,000 Gulf Shipping Company Income Statement January 1 to March 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands) Revenue 5,100 Expenses 2,800 Net Income 2,300 Between January 1 and March 31, 2020: 1. Cash decreases by $100,000 2. Other Assets do not change 3. Paid-In Capital does not change 4. Dividends paid of $400,000 What is the value for Liabilities on March 31, 2020?
Answer:
the value for Liabilities on March 31, 2020 is $22,000
Explanation:
Liabilities are current obligations of the entity that arose as a result of past events, the settlement of which will results in the outflow of cash from the entity.
To calculate the value for Liabilities on March 31, 2020, make adjustments to the liability balance that exists at the start of the year with movement that qualify as liabilities as defined above.
Opening balance as at 1 January 2020 = $22,000
Movements in liabilities = $0
Balance as at March 31, 2020 = $22,000
Conclusion :
The liabilities value on March 31, 2020 remains at $22,000
Variable costs as a percentage of sales for Lemon Inc. are 62%, current sales are $563,000, and fixed costs are $189,000. How much will operating income change if sales increase by $39,200
Answer:
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs= 62% of sales
Current sales are $563,000
Fixed costs are $189,000.
Sales increase by $39,200.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= sales increase*contribution margin ratio
Effect on income= 39,200*(1 - 0.62)
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Prove:
Actual income= 563,200*0.38 - 189,000= 25,016
New income= 602,400*0.38 - 189,000= 39,912
Difference= $14,896 increase
A series of five constant-dollar (or real-dollar) uniform payment of $897.63 is made begining at the end of first year. Assume that the general inflation rate is 18.3% and the market interest rate is 18.3% during this inflationary period.
The equivalent present worth of the series is:_________.
Answer:
The equivalent present worth of the series is $4,182.21
Explanation:
Fix periodic payments for a specific period of time are annuity payment and the payments made at the start of each period is known as advance annuity.
As per given data
Inflation per year = 18.3% / 5 = 3.66%
numbers of period = 5 years
Payment per period = $897.63
Use following formula to calculate the present value of annuity payments
PV of annuity = P x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r
Where
P = Payment per period = $897.63
r = rate in of interest = 3.66%
n = numbers of periods = 5 years
Placing values in the formula
Equivalent present worth of the series = $897.63 + $897.63 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.66% )^-(5-1) / 3.66% )
Equivalent present worth of the series = $4,182.21
The Crime Prevention Service for Business at Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice defines shrinkage as the difference between the inventory a business should have and what the:
Answer: ...business actually does have.
Explanation:
According to a study done in 2010, Retail Stores around $38 billion in Shrinkage making it quite a huge problem. Shrinkage according to the Crime Prevention Service for Business at Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice is the difference between the inventory a business should have and what it actually does have meaning that Shrinkage refers to the unexplained losses in inventory during the year.
Shrinkage can happen due to a couple of reasons such as employee theft, book keeping errors and shoplifting.
A company has a net income of $190,000, a profit margin of 9.40 percent, and an accounts receivable balance of $106,351. Assuming 72 percent of sales are on credit, what is the company's days' sales in receivables?
Answer:
The company's days' sales in receivables is 22 days
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's days' sales in receivables we would have to calculate first the total sales with the following formula:
Total Sales = Net Income / Profit Margin
= $190,000/9.4%=$2,021,276
Hence, Credit Sales = $2,021,276*0.85= $1,718,085
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Credit sales / Accounts Receivable
= $1,718,085 /$106,351
= 16.15485
Therefore, Days sales in receivables = 365/16.15485= 22.59 days
The company's days' sales in receivables is 22 days

Describe other options teachers and their union have in resolving the impasse before opting for a strike? For each point illustrate your discussion with examples from Pacific island countries (PICs)
Answer: The other options include; dialogue; notification; peaceful protest and ultimatum.
Explanation: 1) Dialogue: Dialogue refers to a discussion between the two opposing parties. The teachers or their union may opt for a round table discussion to negotiate on the issue and its possible resolution.
2) Peaceful protest: A protest is an expression of strong opposition or disapproval of something. This is an option that can be exercised in a peaceful way by demonstration the grievance.
3) Notification or Ultimatum: Notification involves an information on when an option either expires or is to be exercised while an ultimatum is a demand that can be followed up with penalty or threat. This is also an option used by Pacific Island Countries in resolving the impasse before resulting to strike.
Todd can afford to pay $375 per month for the next 7 years in order to purchase a new car. The interest rate is 6.5 percent compounded monthly. What is the most he can afford to pay for a new car today
Answer:
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
Explanation:
The most he can afford to pay is the present value of the $375 per month discounted at the interest rate of return of 6.5% p.a
PV = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
PV = ?, A- 375, r- 6.5/12= 0.541% n= 12×7 = 84
PV = 375× (1- (1.00541)^(-84) )/0.00541= 25260.071
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
Note: the monthly interest rate needed to be computed by dividing 6.5% by 12 and the number of months in 7 years is 7 × 12 = 84
