The steps in the accounting cycle are:
a) Analyzing each transaction from source documents, e.g. from Sales Invoice. This shows the accounts affected and even the effect of the transaction on the accounting equation.
b) Journal Entries: This involves using the doubt entry system of accounting to record transactions in the general journal. This is the first accounting record. It shows the accounts to be debited and the ones to be credited in the General Ledger.
c) General Ledger: Each transaction is posted to their respective accounts in the ledger, depending on journal entries. Usually, two accounts are affected by each transaction, just like in the journal.
d) The fourth step is the extraction of a Trial Balance. This is an accounting tool for checking that the first three steps have been completely and correctly followed.
W.T. Ginsburg Engine Company manufactures part ACT30107 used in several of its engine models. Monthly production costs for 1,090 units are as follows: Direct materials $46,000 Direct labor 10,500 Variable overhead costs 32,500 Fixed overhead costs 22,000 Total costs $111,000 It is estimated that 6% of the fixed overhead costs assigned to ACT30107 will no longer be incurred if the company purchases ACT30107 from the outside supplier. W.T Ginsburg Engine Company has the option of purchasing the part from an outside supplier at $94.75 per unit. If the company accepts the offer from the outside supplier, the monthly avoidable costs (costs that will no longer be incurred) total ________.
Answer:
Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
Explanation:
$
The relevant variable cost
= 46,000 + 10,500 + 32,500 $89,000
Cost of external supply
= 94.75 × 1090= $103,277.50
Increase in of purchase 14,277.50
Savings in fixed cost (6%× 22,000) ( 1320
Net increase in cost if purchased 12,957.50
Cost that will no longer be incurred = 89,000 +1320 = $90320
Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
A company uses direct labor costs as it allocation base. Management estimates the company will incur $150,000 of direct labor cost during the year and total overhead costs of $200,000. What is their predetermined overhead rate? 1.33% 133% 50% 75%
Answer:
133.33%
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead cost ÷ direct labor cost
where,
Total overhead cost is $200,000
And, the direct labor cost is $150,000
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the predetermined overhead rate is
= $200,000 ÷ $150,000
= 1.33%
We simply applied the above formula
Tom Reynold is the sole proprietor of Pretty Pets, a business specializing in the sale of high-end pet gifts and accessories. Pretty Pets' sales totaled $ 986 comma 000 during the most recent year. During the year, the company spent $ 52 comma 000 on expenses relating to website maintenance, $ 31 comma 300 on marketing, and $ 29 comma 500 on wrapping, boxing, and shipping the goods to customers. Pretty Pets also spent $ 640 comma 000 on inventory purchases and an additional $ 18 comma 000 on freight-in charges. The company started the year with $ 18 comma 250 of inventory on hand and ended the year with $ 18 comma 400 of inventory. Prepare Pretty Pets' income statement for the most recent year.
Answer and Explanation:
For preparing the income statement first we have to determine the cost of goods sold which is shown below:
Beginning inventory $18,250
Add Inventory purchase ($640,000 + $18,000) $658,000
Total goods available for sale $676,250
Less: Ending inventory ($18,400)
Cost of goods sold $657,850
Now the preparation of the income statement is presented below:
Income statement
Sales $986,000
Less: Cost of goods sold - $657,850
Gross profit $328,150
Less: Operating expenses
Expenses relating to website maintenance -$52,000
Marketing exp -$31,300
wrapping, boxing, and shipping Exp -$29,500
Net income $215,350
Closing Entries with Net Income Assume that the entry closing total revenues of $3,190,000 and total expenses of $2,350,000 has been made for the year ending December 31. At the end of the fiscal year, Teresa Schafer, Capital has a credit balance of $1,885,000 and Teresa Schafer, Drawing has a balance of $770,000. a. Journalize the entry required to close the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account. b. Determine the amount of Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period. $
Answer:
a. Debit Teresa's Capital account for $770,000; and Credit Teresa's Drawing account for $770,000.
b. Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period is $$1,955,000
Explanation:
a. Journalize the entry required to close the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account.
Since the drawing will affect capital by reducing it, the journal entry will look as follows:
Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
Teresa's Capital account 770,000
Teresa's Drawing account 770,000
(To record the closing the Teresa Schafer, Drawing account.)
b. Determine the amount of Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period.
To do this, we have to calculate the net profit first as follows:
Net profit = Total revenue - Total cost = $3,190,000 - $2,350,000 = $840,000
Since net profit will increase capita while drawing will reduce capital, we therefore have:
Capital at the end of the period = Capital + Net profit - Drawing = $1,885,000 + $840,000 - $770,000 = $1,955,000.
Therefore, Teresa Schafer, Capital at the end of the period is $$1,955,000.

For the Month Ended on August 31, 202X
Retained earnings at the beginning of the period: $0
Net Income: $10,410
Dividends: ($6,020)
Retained earnings at the end of the period $4,390
Explanation:
First we must organize the numbers and prepare an income statement:
Consulting fees earned $27,010
Rent expense ($9,570)
Salaries expense ($5,620)
Telephone expense ($880)
Miscellaneous expenses ($530)
Net income: $10,410
then a balance sheet:
Balance Sheet
Assets:
Cash $25,370
Accounts receivable $22,370
Office supplies $5,260
Land $44,010
Office equipment $20,020
Total assets: $117,030
Liabilities and Equity:
Accounts payable $10,540
Common stock $102,100
Total liabilities and equity: $112,640
+ Retained earnings $4,390
Total: $117,030
Dividends 6,020
two ways to determine retained earnings:
Retained earnings ⇒ assets - (liabilities + equity) = $117,030 - $112,640 = $4,390Another way to calculate retained earnings = net income - dividends = $10,410 - $6,020 = $4,390A company is considering purchasing a new production machine and have identified two potential options. Option A has a first cost of $1450 but will produce annual revenues of $650 while incurring $245 worth of maintenance. Option B has a purchase price of $1130 with annual revenues of $445 and maintenance costs of $147. One of your colleagues has done an internal rate of return analysis on Option A and determined it had an IRR=12.28%
a. Your boss has asked you to determine the IRR for option B, assuming that both options have same service life
b. Assuming the two production machines are independent and the company has a MARR of 11%, what should the company do?
Answer:
a. The IRR for the option B will be 9.988%.
b. The company would accept option A and reject the option B
Explanation:
a. To calculate the IRR for option B we first need to determine the service life of the option A.
If R = 12.28%
Net annual benefits = 650-245=$405
Then, 1450= 405*(1-1/1.1228^n)/.1228
1/1.1228^n =1 - 1450*.1228/405 = .5603
1.1228^n = 1.7846
n = log(1.7846)/log(1.1228) = 5 years
Therefore, For option B
Let, IRR = R
Net annual benefit = 445-147 = $298
1130 = 298*(1-1/(1+R)^5)/R
At R = 9%
PV of cash inflows = $1159.12
At R = 10%
PV of cash inflows = $1129.65
As per the method of interpolation,
R = 9% + ((1159.12 - 1130)/( 1159.12-1129.65))*(10%-9%)
R = 9.988%
Thus, IRR for the option B will be 9.988%.
b. According to the given data to selection the any option, the value of IRR must be greater than or equal to the MARR. in this case, option A has the IRR of 12.28% that is greater than the MARR of 11%. But, it is not the case with option B whose IRR is only 9.988% and it is less than the MARR of 11%.
Thus, option A will be accepted and option B will be rejected.
All of the following are part of comprehensive income except:
a. realized gains on sale of available-for-sale-securities.
b. unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale-securities.
c. a re-classification adjustment for gains included in net income.
d. all of these answer choices are correct.
Answer: d. all of these answer choices are correct
Explanation:
Available for sale securities are held by a firm with the intention of selling it before it reaches its maturity date.
So as not to report on the income statement wrongly, the Unrealized gains(losses) which are any fluctuations from the original price, throughout the Security's lifetime is posted to the Other Comprehensive Income account in the Equity section of the balance sheet. That along with the Realized gains when the security is sold.
Reclassification adjustments are also included to account for the reclassification of a security to either a profit or a loss.
All of the above are correct.

Answer:
As the country gets richer, there will be a shift in the society from "traditional" to "secular rational" values
Explanation:
In this scenario Weinsland decided to liberalize the country's economy. This will reduce government regulation on the economy and increase participation of private entities.
Liberalisation encourages economic growth.
Traditional conservative values are passed from generation to generation, and change only a little over time.
Secular rational values on the other hand embrace an ever changing economic environment where innovation constantly changes acceptable ways of doing things

American Express trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AXP. In 2016, AXP was paying a dividend of $.80 and analysts forecasted five-year growth rates of 10.54% for AXP and 13.21% for the financial services industry. Assume the growth rate for the financial services industry will remain constant. Then, assuming AXP's growth rate will revert to the industry average after five years, what value would we place on AXP, if we use a discount rate of 15%
Answer:
The current value placed on AXP is $ 45.08
Explanation:
Dividend currently paying = $ 0.80
Growth rate up to 5 years = 10.54%
Expected dividend for 1st year = $0.80 × 1.1054 = $0.88
Year Dividend amount Present Value at 15%
0 0.8
1 0.88 0.77
2 0.98 0.74
3 1.08 0.71
4 1.19 0.68
5 1.32 0.66
Growth rate = 13.21% from 6th year and onward
Expected dividend for 6th year = $1.32 × 1.1321 = $1.49
Value of the AXP at 5th year with constant growth at 13.21%
= $1.49 ÷ (0.15 - 0.1321)
= $83.51
Value of the AXP currently = P.V. of dividend payable in first 5 years + Present Value at 5th year at 15%
= $0.77 + $ 0.74 + $ 0.71 + $ 0.68 + $0.66 + ($83.51 × 0.4971 )
= $ 45.08

a. In order to calculate the capital account balance of each partner after the liquidation of assets and the payment of creditors we would have to make the following calculations:
Field Brown Snow Total
Initial Investment $131,700 $167,700 $155,400 454,800
Allocation of all losses: 135,900 135,900 135,900 407,700
(454,800-47,100)/3
Capital Balance -4,200 31,800 19,500 47,100
b. a. The record of the cash receipt from the deficient partner(s) would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Cash 4,200
Field capital 4,200
b. The record the final disbursement of cash to the partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 31,800
Snow capital 19,500
Cash 51,300
c. a Record to transfer the deficit of any deficient partners to the other partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 2100
Snow capital 2100
Field Capital 4,200
Brown capital= 4,200/2=2100
Snow capital=4,200/2=2100
b. Record the final disbursement of cash to the partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 29,700
Snow capital 17,400
Cash 47,100
Brown capital=31,800-2,100 =29,700
Snow capital=19,500-2,100=17,400
Read the following situation, and then answer the questions.
You have been working in an entry-level position in the Environmental Health and Safety division of a company for the last six months. You spend your time reviewing safety reports, entering them into the database, and compiling statistical analyses of the results for your superior, Ray Blaine. Lately, Mr. Blaine has been asking you when each report will be finished. Following this query, Mr. Blaine often compliments you on the results of your past analyses.
1) What is the most important message your superior is trying to deliver?
A. He is worried about the results of your analysis.
B. He wants to know when the report will be ready.
C. You are ready for a promotion.
2) What can you do to listen more effectively to your superior?
A. Lean forward and make eye contact.
B. Paraphrase his questions in return.
C. Ask questions in return.
Answer:
1)B
2)C
Explanation:
1) Mr. Blaine wants to know when will the results be ready. He is complimenting to let you know that he has good expectations from you.
2) Asking questions in return lets the other person know that you are interested in the conversation.
Answer:
Question 1 answer is B
Question 2 answer is C
Explanation:
1. From the data in the question, we can tell what your superior has in mind.
- The fact that Mr Blaine has been asking when each report will be finished shows that he is concerned ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME it takes you to complete work on a safety report.
- He often compliments you on the results of your past analyses. This means that he is recertifying that your results come out fine and accurate BUT need to start coming out FASTER. He uses the compliments to lift your spirit so you don't feel downcast by the complaints. So you can be sure that as far as the work is concerned, YOU ARE GETTING IT RIGHT but as far as delivery window is concerned, you are delivering SLOWLY.
So the answer is B - he is most concerned about the timeframe you use to go through each report. He wants you to understand that good timing adds to the quality of a result!
2. The three options here are things you can do, to listen more effectively to your superior. The most important though is C.
You need to ask questions in return!
- Ask questions on the clarification of what exactly you are expected to do, in order to produce results that are both accurate and timely.
- Ask Mr. Blaine how he thinks you should go about it.
- Ask questions where you don't understand
- Ask when exactly you are to submit each result
After he replies, put his advice and corrections into practice.

Mark can produce 50 baseballs in a month and Katie can produce 60 baseballs in a month. Also, Mark can produce 40 bats in a month and Katie can produce 30 bats in a month. ______________has the absolute advantage in the production of bats, and _____________ has the comparative advantage in the production of bats. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Mark has the absolute advantage in the production of bats.
Mark has the comparative advantage in the production of bats
Explanation:
The absolute advantage is a principle in which a party is able to produce a good more efficiently than the others. In this situation, Mark can produce 40 bats while Katie can produce 30 bats which indicates that Mark can produce them more efficiently having an absolute advantage in the production of bats.
The comparative advantage is a principle in which a party has the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than others. In this situation:
Baseballs Bats
Mark 50 40
Katie 60 30
The opportunity cost for Mark of producing 1 bat is producing 1.25 baseballs and the opportunity cost for Katie of producing 1 bat is producing 2 baseballs. This means that Mark has a lower opportunity cost and the comparative advantage in the production of bats.

b. If the company produces at the level found in requirement (a), how much will monthly profit increase over the current production schedule?
Answer:
a. How many Alphas and Deltas should the company produce each month to maximize monthly profit?
150 Alphas80 Deltasb. If the company produces at the level found in requirement (a), how much will monthly profit increase over the current production schedule?
$480 increase (or 75% increase)Explanation:
Alpha Delta
Price $120 $150
Variable costs per unit :
Material $20 $35 Labor $26 $37 Overhead $14 $14Contribution margin per unit $60 $64
Fixed costs :
Manufacturing $8,000 Marketing and administrative $5,000 total $13,000Machine hours per unit 2.0 2.5

this means you should produce as many Alphas as possible = 150. Production of 150 Alphas will consume 300 machine hours and the remaining 200 hours can be used to produce 80 Deltas.
Monthly profit:
[(150 x $60) + (80 x $64)] - 13,000 = $9,000 + $5,120 - $13,000 = $1,120, which represents a $480 increase (or 75% increase)
Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $250,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $18,900 of its sales and still owes $27,000 on $96,000 of merchandise it purchased. The company had no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The company paid $12,700 in salaries. Owners invested $14,000 in the business and $14,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The company paid $3,800 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $7,800 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40%. (Assume taxes are paid in the same year). Compute the cash balance at the end of the first year for Alpaca Corporation.
Answer:
$84,360.00
Explanation:
The cash balance at the end of the year is simply total cash receipts minus total cash payments which is further analyzed below:
Cash receipt from sales=total sales-accounts receivable=$250,000-$18,900=$ 231,100.00
Cash paid for merchandise purchase=purchases-accounts payable=$96,000-$27,000=$69,000
Salaries paid $12,700
Cash from owners is $14,000
cash from borrowing is $14,000
interest paid is $3800
insurance paid is $7,800
Tax paid=(sales-purchases-salaries paid-insurance cost(one year)-interest paid)*tax rate
insurance for one year=$7800*1/2=$3,900
tax paid=($250,000-$96,000-$12,700-$3,800-$3,900)*40%=$53440
Cash balance=$231,100-$69,000-$12,700+$14,000-$14,000-$3800-$7800-$53440=$84,360.00
Larkspur, Inc. purchased a delivery truck with a $44000 list price. The company was given a $4200 cash discount by the dealer and paid $2200 sales tax. Annual insurance on the truck is $1000. As a result of the purchase, by how much will Larkspur, Inc. increase its truck account
Answer:
Larkspur Inc. will increase its truck account by: $43,000.
Explanation:
Step I
To arrive at the above, we need to make the necessary additions and deductions:
Purchase Price = $44,000
Less cash discount of $4,200. Therefore, the final offer is
$44,000-$4,200 = $39,800.
Step II - Calculate the final value truck by applying Sales Tax
Final sales value amount plus sales tax
$39,800 + $2,200 = $ 42 000
Step III - Calculate Total cost to company by adding cost of insurance of the vehicle.
$ 42 000 + $1,000 = $ 43,000
Therefore the total cost of the truck the company is $43,000.

The equipment is expected to be used in operations in the future. What amount (if any) should Waterway report as an impairment to its equipment
Answer:
No impairment
Explanation:
Since the future net cash flows are still recoverable and they are higher than carrying amount, none needs to be reported
On December 31, 2018, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $107 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2048. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2019. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2018, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
$93,725,580.00
Explanation:
The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.
Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00
Face amount=$107,000,000
The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is 12.4090
The discount factor for the face value is 0.1314
Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00
The following table shows a simplified consolidated balance sheet for the entire
banking system (all figures are in billions). The reserve ratio is 25 percent.
Assets Liabilities &Equity
Reserves 96 Checkable Deposits 400
Securities 104
Loans 200
a. 1. What is the amount of excess reserves in this banking system?
2. What is the maximum amount the banking system might lend?
3. Show how the balance sheet would look after this amount has been lent
(construct new balance sheet or add columns).
4. What is the size of the monetary multiplier?
b. 1. Answer the questions in part a assuming the reserve ratio is 15 percent.
2. What is the resulting difference in the amount that the banking system can
lend? How do you explain the difference?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Excess reserve = (Actual reserve - required reserve)
Required reserve = reserve ratio × Checkable deposit
Required reserve = 0.25 × $400 billion
Required reserve = $100 billion
Excess reserve = $96 - $100 = - $4billion
B) money multiplier = 1/ required reserve ratio
1/0.25 = 4
Maxumum amount that can be Lent = 4 × 4 = $16 million
If reserve ratio = 15%
Required reserve = 0.15 × $400 billion = $60 billion
Excess reserve = $96 - $60 = $36 billion
Monetary multiplier = 1/ 0.15 = 6.667
Maximum amount of loan = 6.667 × 36 = $240 billion
Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported: Inspection time 0.3 days Wait time (from order to start of production) 14.0 days Process time 2.7 days Move time 1.0 days Queue time 5.0 days
1.Compute the throughput time.
2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Enter your answer as a percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
4.Compute the delivery cycle time.
5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.123 should be entered as 12.3).)
Answer:
1. The throughput time is 9 days
2. The MCE is 0.30
3. 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.
4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days
5. The New MCE is 67.5%
Explanation:
1. To calculate the throughput time we would have to use to make the following calculation:
throughput time=process time+inspection time+movie time+queue time
throughput time=2.7+0.3+1+5
throughput time=9 days
2. To calculate the MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:
MCE=value added time/throughput time
MCE=2.7/9=0.30
3. MCE is 30% which means that out of the total throughput time, time spent on value added activities was 30%. Thus it means that 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.
4. To calculate the delivery cycle time we would have to use to make the following calculation:
delivery cycle time=wait time+throughput time
delivery cycle time=14+9=23 days
5. To calculate the new MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:
New MCE=value added time/throughput time
New MCE=2.7/4
New MCE=67.5%
1. Based on the information given the throughput time is 9 days.
2. The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter is 30%.
3. The percentage of the throughput time is 70%.
4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days.
5. The New MCE is 68%.
1. Throughput time
Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
Throughput time= 2.7 +0.3+ 1.0 + 5.0
Throughput time=9 days
2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = Value-added time / Throughput time
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = 2.7 /9
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)=30%
3. Non-value-added activities
Non-value-added activities = 100% - 30%
Non-value-added activities = 70%
4. Delivery cycle time
Delivery cycle time = Wait time + throughput time
Delivery cycle time = 14.0 + 9.0
Delivery cycle time = 23 days
5. New MCE
New MCE = Value-added time / Throughput time
New MCE=2.7/(0.3+2.7+1.0)
New MCE 2.7 / 4
New MCE =67.5%
New MCE =68% (Approximately)

Assume one of the SWOT findings was an internal weakness of low motivation in the sales force regarding product sales. HP has designed a new compensation system to address this motivation. In which stage of the strategy implementation framework does this action reside?
Answer:
Stage 3
Explanation:
Strategic management is defined as formulation of strategies (decisions, actions, and measures) which are implemented to meet organisational goals and objectives.
Strategy formulation is a very important first step in strategy management. Lack of good strategy formulation can lead to organisational failure.
In the given scenario where motivation among employees is identified as a weakness, the action of modifying the reward system falls under the stage 3 of strategic implementation framework
Strategic implementation is concerned with how formulated strategy is implemented.
What are some examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals? Why do these intangible benefits complicate the capital budgeting evaluation process? What might happen if intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
An intangible benefit is a subjective benefit that one can't actually touch, and is also difficult to measure in terms of dollar.
Examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals will be the improved safety, increased product quality, and an enhanced employee loyalty.
Intangible benefits complicate capital budgeting evaluation process due to the fact that they can't be easily measured, hence, their value can be hard to quantify.
When intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision, it
may result in rejecting of projects that may have financial benefits to the company.
