If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Multiple Choice Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. One asset increases $4,500 and another asset decreases $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Equity increases $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Explanation:
An asset are the properties which a business or an organization owns. An asset possess an economic value.
Since the equipment purchased is an asset, this will lead to an increase of assets by $4500 and since it was bought on credit and hasn't been paid for, liabilities will also increase by $4500.
Kent Manufacturing produces a product that sells for $64.00 and has variable costs of $35.00 per unit. Fixed costs are $348,000. Kent can buy a new production machine that will increase fixed costs by $20,500 per year, but will decrease variable costs by $4.50 per unit.
Required:
Compute the contribution margin per unit if the machine is purchased.
Answer:
The contribution margin per unit is $33.50
Explanation:
The contribution margin per unit in the case when the machine is purchased is shown below:
= Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit
= $64 - ($35 - $4.50)
= $64 - $30.50
= $33.50
hence, the contribution margin per unit is $33.50 and the same is to be considered
We simply applied the above formula

Your grandpa doesn't trust "young 'uns" so you are set to inherit a $1,000,000 trust fund on your 50th birthday. Your Grandpa also doesn't like banks so he has buried the cash somewhere on his 40-acre farm in a location that will be revealed to you by his lawyer since Grandpa will not be around when you turn 50. If you could possibly get your hands on it now (when you are 20), you could put it in a bank at 6% annual interest. If you were able to dig up the money now, how much would you have when you turn 50?
Answer:
FV= $5,743,491.17
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Present value (PV)= $1,000,000
Number of periods (n)= 30 years
Annual interest= 6% = 0.06
To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 1,000,000*(1.06^30)
FV= $5,743,491.17
A bank offers 8.00% on savings accounts. What is the effective annual rate if interest is compounded semi-annually?Percentage Round to: 4 decimal places (Example: 9.2434%, % sign required. Will accept decimal format rounded to 6 decimal places (ex: 0.092434))
Answer:
Effective Annual Rate = 8.1600%
Explanation:
The effective annual rate the interest rate that is adjusted for compounding over a given period of time. It is given by the formula:
[tex]r = (1+\frac{i}{n})^n -1\\where:\\r = effective\ annual\ rate\\i = nominal\ interest\ rate\ = 8.00\% = 0.08 \\n = number\ of\ compounding\ periods\ per\ year\ = 2\ (semi-annually)[/tex]
[tex]r = (1+\frac{0.08}{2})^2 -1\\r = (1\ +\ 0.04)^2 - 1\\r = (1.04)^2 - 1\\r = 1.0816 - 1\\r = 0.0816\\r = 8.1600 \%[/tex]
We sell to a customer paying with Visa and the fee is 2%. Part of the transaction would include a debit to:
Answer:
there are no available options, but the complete journal entry to record a credit card sale is:
Dr Cash account 98% of sale
Dr Credit card fees 2% of sale
Cr Sales revenue 100% of sale
Explanation:
Since VISA payments are automatic, you can debit cash directly. There is no need to debit accounts receivable and then once the payment is confirmed, debit cash. Some credit cards do not pay automatically, and in those cases you should debit accounts receivable.
Instead of credit card fees, some people use credit card discount, or credit card expense, but all these accounts are basically the same. They are all expense accounts.
On April 1, 2020, the City of Southern Ponds issued $5,000,000 in 4% general obligation, tax supported bonds at 101 for the purpose of constructing a new police station. The premium was transferred to a debt service fund. A total of $4,990,000 was used to construct the police station, which was completed before December 31, 2020, the end of the fiscal year. The remaining funds were transferred to the debt service fund. The bonds were dated April 1, 2020, and paid interest on October 1 and April 1. The first of 20 equal annual principal payments of $250,000 is due April 1, 2021. In addition to reporting Bonds Payable and (unamortized) Bond Premium in the government-wide Statement of Net Position, how would the bond sale be reported
Answer:
$100,000
$350,000
Explanation:
The bond sale be reported as debt service expenditures for 2020 and 2021 can be calculated as follows
The Amount would be reported as debt service expenditures for 2020
= $5,000,000 x 4% x 1/2 year
= $100,000
The amount would be reported as debt service expenditures for 2021
= $5,000,000 x 4% + $250,000
= $350,000
The average price for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps fell almost 4 cents in March to $2.50 a gallon. The price of crude oil dropped to $43.46 per barrel on March 17, the lowest since March 2009.
Answer: C. lower the cost of producing gasoline and increase the supply of gasoline
Explanation:
Gasoline is derived from the distillation of crude oil which means that Crude oil is the main raw material in the production of gasoline. This means that if crude oil sees a reduction in price, input costs for gasoline will decrease as well.
Producers of gasoline will take advantage of this to buy more crude oil and therefore process and make more gasoline which will increase the supply of gasoline in the market and reduce its price.
Division A makes a part that it sells to customers outside of the company. Data concerning this part appear below: Selling price to outside customers $ 40 Variable cost per unit $ 30 Total fixed costs $ 10,000 Capacity in units 20,000 Division B of the same company would like to use the part manufactured by Division A in one of its products. Division B currently purchases a similar part made by an outside company for $38 per unit and would substitute the part made by Division A. Division B requires 5,000 units of the part each period. Division A has ample capacity to produce the units for Division B without any increase in fixed costs and without cutting into sales to outside customers. If Division A sells to Division B rather than to outside customers, the variable cost be unit would be $1 lower. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price Division A should accept
Answer:
Lower selling price= $29
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price to outside customers $40
Variable cost per unit $ 30
Total fixed costs $10,000
Capacity in units 20,000
The variable cost per unit would be $1 lower.
Because there is unused capacity, and it won't affect other sales. We will not take into account the fixed costs.
The lower selling price is the one that equals the unitary variable cost.
Unitary variable cost= 30 - 1= $29
Lower selling price= $29
Wyle Co. has $3.9 million of debt, $1 million of preferred stock, and $2.1 million of common equity. What would be its weight on preferred stock
Answer:
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%
Explanation:
The capital structure of a business is made up of at least one or at most all of the following components namely Debt, Preferred Stock and Common Equity. The ratio in which each of these components form the capital structure might differ from business to business. The weightage of each component in the capital structure can be calculated by dividing the market value of each component by the sum of the market value of all the components.
Weight of a component = Market Value of component / Sum of market value of all components
Weight of Preferred stock = 1,000,000 / (3,900,000 + 1,000,000 + 2,100,000)
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%

Delphi Company uses job-order costing. It applies overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, Delphi estimated that it would work 37,000 machine-hours and incur $222,000 in manufacturing overhead cost. The following transactions were recorded for the year: a. Raw materials were issued for use in production, $367,000 ($345,000 direct and $22,000 indirect). b. Employee costs were incurred: direct labor, $309,000; indirect labor, $44,000; and administrative salaries, $155,000. c. Factory depreciation, $175,000. d. Selling costs, $140,000. e. Manufacture overhead was applied to jobs. The actual machine hours for the year were 35,000 hours. a. Compute the total manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs during the year.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $210,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 222,000/37,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6 per machine hour
Now, we cal allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6*35,000
Allocated MOH= $210,000
Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses are $30,000 and its contribution margin ratio is 63%. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $92,000?
a. $27,960.b. $62,000.c. $57,960.d. $4,040.
Answer:
Net income= $27,960
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $30,000
contribution margin ratio= 0.63
Sales= $92,000
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 92,000*0.63= 57,960
Now, the net income:
Net income= 57,960 - 30,000
Net income= $27,960
Q 20.27: Liberty Bicycles currently sells unassembled bikes for $240 each. The variable production costs for each bike are $35 and the fixed production costs are $72. Liberty is thinking about selling the bikes fully assembled for $300 each. The variable costs for assembling one bike will be $18 and the fixed costs will be $31. Given these figures, Liberty will increase its net income per unit by ________ if it opts to assemble the bikes.
Answer:
$11
Explanation:
Find the incremental effect on net income of assembling the bikes as follows :
Incremental analysis for assembling the bikes per unit
Sales ( $300 - $240) $60
Less incremental costs :
Variable costs ($18)
Fixed production costs ($31)
Incremental Income/(loss) $11
Conclusion
Thus Liberty will increase its net income per unit by $11 if it opts to assemble the bikes.

you can acquire an existing business for $2 million. You are uncertain about future demand. There is a 40% chance of high demand, in which case the present value of the business will be $3 million. There is a 25% chance of moderate demand, and the associated present value is $1.5 million. Finally, there is a 35% chance of low demand, in which case the present value is $1 million. Draw a decision tree for this problem. What is the expected net present value of the business
Answer:
Expected net present value of the project = $1,925,000
Explanation:
The cost of acquiring business = $2,000,000
Expected net present value of the project = High demand NPV*High demand percent + Moderate demand NPV*Moderate demand percent + Low demand NPV*Low demand percent
Expected net present value of the project = $3,000,000 *40% + $1,500,000*25% + $1,000,000*35%
Expected net present value of the project = $1,200,000 + $375,000 + $350,000
Expected net present value of the project = $1,925,000
Conclusion: The cost of acquiring business is more than expected net present value, it is advisable not to invest in the project.

You will invest $25,000 in an ice cream shop your sister is starting. You expect to triple your investment in six years. What is the rate of return that you have in mind? (Rounded to the nearest percent.)
Answer:
r = 20.09%
Explanation:
we can use the future value formula to calculate the expected rate of return:
future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ
future value = $25,000 x 3 = $75,000present value = $25,000n = 6$75,000 = $25,000 x (1 + r)⁶
(1 + r)⁶ = $75,000 / $25,000 = 3
⁶√(1 + r)⁶ = ⁶√3
1 + r = 1.2009
r = 0.2009 = 20.09%
At the beginning of the year, Bryers Incorporated reports inventory of $6,100. During the year, the company purchases additional inventory for $21,100. At the end of the year, the cost of inventory remaining is $8,100. Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
$19,100
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold refers to the actual cost, expended in the manufacturing of goods or products that is produced and then sold in a given period. It comprises all direct costs expended in the manufacturing of goods.
With regards to the above, the cost of goods sold for the year is computed as;
= $6,100 beginning inventory + $21,100 purchases for the period - $8,100 closing inventory
= $19,100
Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the year is $19,100
4. Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of steel falls substantially. The demand for labor among steel-producing firms in Pennsylvania will . The demand for labor among automobile-producing firms in Michigan, for which steel is an input, will . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as unemployment. Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program
Answer:
decrease
increase
structural unemployment
Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively
Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
Explanation:
If the world price of steel falls, the profits that can be earned from producing steel would fall. This would make steel-producing firms cutback on production. If they do this, they would lead less labour, so the demand for labour would fall.
The decrease in the price of steel would make purchasing steel by automobile companies cheaper. This would lead to a rise in production and as a result an increase in the demand for labour.
Structural unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of labour and the jobs available. Measures taken to increase information on available jobs would reduce this type of unemployment
Were you surprised to learn how much companies focus on the teen market? Explain.
Answer:
Yes, a large percentage of consumers are influenced by people who are present on the internet, who are mostly younger people. In order to generate income, advertisements for young people are becoming less and less advertising look like.
For this reason, advertising pieces should always aim to entertain and inform, only to later sell. The experience with advertising content should be positive.
The teen audience may have many different tastes, but there is a high probability that everyone will use a cell phone. The device is part of the daily lives of young people and it is through it that teenagers communicate, consume content, and even shop.
[Same investments as the prior question] Suppose two local start-ups are raising funding by issuing shares of equity at $10,000 per share. One start-up is a whiskey distillery; the other is a beer brewery. You estimate the expected returns on your investment to be 50% over five years in both cases. You also believe that the likelihood of being paid out $20,000 per share is greater with the distillery than with the brewery. Suppose now that you hold a portfolio of many other risky assets, and that this would be your N 1 investment. Which investment do you prefer to make, the distillery or the brewery
Answer:
you should purchase the brewery's stock
Explanation:
First of all, as investors we should always try to maximize our returns while avoiding risks. It is really hard to balance both, but we must compare stocks to see which may represent a higher gain while posing the lesser or same risk.
Initial investment in each = $10,000 (equal for both)expected returns over 5 years = $5,000 (equal for both)but there is a higher possibility of the distillery's stock being more valuable, and that makes a difference.Both stocks seem equally risky, but they are not. When you calculate expected returns, you multiply the possible returns by their probability. I'm not sure how they calculated the expected returns of the above stocks, but the following can help you understand my point:
stock B return probability expected return
great 100% 25% 25%
normal 50% 50% 25%
bad 0% 25% 0%
total 100% 50%
stock D return probability expected return
great 100% 30% 30%
normal 50% 40% 20%
bad 0% 30% 0%
total 100% 50%
Both stocks have the same expected return, but stock B is less risky because the chance of being a bad investment is lower.
Yoshi Co.'s 12/31/2020 inventory on a FIFO basis was $980,000. The following information is available: Estimated selling price is $1,020,000; Estimated cost of disposal is $40,000; Normal profit margin is $120,000; and Current replacement cost is $900,000. At 12/31/2020, assuming Yoshi uses the loss method, what amount of loss should Yoshi record from applying LCM
Answer:
Yoshi Co.
The amount of loss that Yoshi Co. should record from applying LCM (the lower of Cost or Market price) is:
$40,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
FIFO inventory on 12/31/2020 = $980,000
Current replacement cost = $900,000
Net realizable value = $980,000 ($1,020,000 - $40,000)
Normal profit margin = $120,000
Loss to be recognized based on current replacement cost = FIFO purchase cost minus Current replacement cost
= $80,000 ($980,000 - $900,000)
b) Under the US GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) of prudence and conservatism, the loss of $80,000 must be recognized in the current period, since the inventory will be booked at $900,000, its current replacement cost, which is lower than the FIFO purchase cost of $980,000.
Which of the following statements are true? (Check all that apply.) A. Accounting systems generally consist of several subsystems, each designed to process a particular type of transaction. B. Most mobile devices do not need to be tracked and monitored as their loss represents minimal exposure. C. Supervision is especially important in organizations without responsibility reporting or an adequate segregation of duties. D. All system transactions and activities should be recorded in a log that indicates who accessed what data and when. E. Customer relationship management (CRM) software includes budgets, schedules, and standard costs; reports comparing actual and planned performance; and procedures for investigating and correcting significant variances.
Answer:
A. Accounting systems generally consist of several subsystems, each designed to process a particular type of transaction.
C. Supervision is especially important in organizations without responsibility reporting or adequate segregation of duties
Explanation:
A. Indeed, because the accounting system consists of several subsystems, such as data systems, the workforce, the procedures and instructions, and software with each designed to process a particular type of transaction.
B. When an organization doesn't assign its staff their specific responsibilities it then becomes especially important to supervise the employees, because failing to do so may result in low worker productivity.
When the stock price follows a random walk the price today is said to be equal to the prior period price plus the expected return for the period with any remaining difference to the actual return due to:_________
a. A predictable amount based on the past prices.
b. A component based on new information unrelated to past prices.
c. The security's risk.
d. The risk free rate.
e. None of the above.
Answer:
e. None of the above.
Explanation:
When the stock price follows a random walk the price today is said to be equal to the prior period price plus the expected return for the period with any remaining difference to the actual return due due to new information related to the stock". This is because any new information on stock which is unrelated to stock prices will lead to an increase/decrease in the stock price over a period of time.
On January 1, 2020, Echo Company issued $550,000, 16 year, 9%, annual, callable bonds for $475,000. On December 31, 2025, Echo Company redeemed (called) the bonds at 102. REQUIRED: 1. Prepare the Journal Entry to record the Issuance of the Bond 2. Determine the amount of the Discount/Premium that is still not amortized (using the Straight-Line Method) 3. Prepare the Journal Entry to record the Retirement (Redemption) of the Bond.
Answer:
1. Prepare the Journal Entry to record the Issuance of the Bond
January 1, 2020, bonds issued at a discount
Dr Cash 475,000
Dr Discount on bonds payable 75,000
Cr Bonds payable 550,000
2. Determine the amount of the Discount/Premium that is still not amortized (using the Straight-Line Method)
total bond life = 16 years, 5 years have passed
amortization of bond discount per coupon payment = $75,000 / 16 = $4,687.50
so $51,562.50 have not been amortized yet
3. Prepare the Journal Entry to record the Retirement (Redemption) of the Bond.
Before being able to redeem the bonds, the remaining discount must be amortized:
December 31, 2025, amortization of bond discount
Dr Interest expense 51,562.50
Cr Discount on bonds payable 51,562.50

Relay Corporation manufactures batons. Relay can manufacture 300,000 batons a year at a variable cost of$750,000 and a fixed cost of $450,000. Based on Relay's predictions, 240,000 batons will be sold at the regular price of $5.00 each. In addition, a special order was placed for 60,000 batons to be sold at a 40% discount off the regular price. Required: By what amount would income before income taxes be increased or decreased as a result of the special order
Answer:
The total rise in income is $30,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Sale price 3 {5 × (1 - 0.40)
Less: Incremental cost 2.5 ($750,000 ÷ 300,000)
Increase in income per unit 0.50
Divide by Total units 60,000
Total increase in income $30,000
Hence, the total rise in income is $30,000 and the same is to be considered
The total rise in income before tax is $30,000 as a result of a special offer when the Relay Corporation manufactures batons.
What is income?Income is defined as the consumption and saving opportunity achieved by a commodity within a nominal time structure, which is commonly represented in monetary words. Income is challenging to describe conceptually, and the explanation may be further across areas.
Computation of change in income:
According to the given information,
Regular price = $5.
Discount Rate=40%
Then sales price would be:
[tex]\text{Sale Price}= \text{Regular Price}(1- \text{Discount Rate})\\\\\text{Sale Price}=\$5 \text (1 - 0.40)\\\\\text{Sale Price}= \$3[/tex]
Then the incremental cost is:
[tex]\text{Incremental Cost}=\dfrac{ \text{Variable Cost}}{\text{Units Produced}}\\\\ \text{Incremental Cost}=\dfrac{\$750,000}{\$300,000}\\\\ \text{Incremental Cost}=2.5[/tex]
Increase in income per unit:
[tex]\text{Increase In Income}=\text{Sales Price}- \text{Incremental Cost}\\\\\text{Increase In Income}=\$3-\$2.5\\\\\text{Increase In Income}=0.50[/tex]
Therefore, the increase in income is :
[tex]=\text{Per unit Increase In Income}\times\text{Total Units}\\\\=0.50\times60,000\\\\=\$30,000[/tex]
