The following note transactions occurred during the year for Towell Company: Nov. 10 Towell issued a 90-day, 9% note payable for $8,000 to Hyatt Company for merchandise. Dec. 1 Towell signed a 120-day, 10% note at the bank for $12,000. Dec. 20 Towell gave Barr, Inc., a 60-day, 10%, $12,000 note for payment of account. Prepare the general journal entries necessary to adjust the interest accounts at December 31. Use 360 days for calculations and round to the nearest dollar.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The general journal entries necessary to adjust the interest accounts at December 31 will be:
1. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $8,000 × 9% × 51/ 360 = $102
Credit: Interest payable = $102
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on November 10).
2. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% ×30/360 = $120
Credit: Interest payable = $120
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on December 1)
3. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% × 11/360 = $36.67
Credit: Interest payable = $36.67
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on December 20).
This morning, you purchased a seventeen-year, 6.45% annual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 at a price of $1,030.04. Just after purchasing the bond, the yield to maturity of the bond falls to 5.50 percent and stays at that level throughout your investment period. If you sell your bond after holding it for seven years, what will be your realized rate of return
Answer:
6.73%
Explanation:
the price of the bond in seven years is:
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 5.50%)¹⁰ = $585.43
PV of coupon payments = $64.50 x 7.538 (PVIFA, 5.5%, 10 years) = $486.20
market price = $1,071.63
using an excel spreadsheet of financial calculator, the annual rate of return:
year 0 = -1030.04
year 1 = 64.5
year 2 = 64.5
year 3 = 64.5
year 4 = 64.5
year 5 = 64.5
year 6 = 64.5
year 7 = 1136.13
IRR = 6.73%
Testbank Multiple Choice Question 81 At the beginning of 2020, Sunland Company issued 8% bonds with a face value of $5700000. These bonds mature in the five years, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $5259870 to yield 10%. Sunland uses a calendar-year reporting period. Using the effective-interest method of amortization, what amount of interest expense should be reported for 2020
Answer:
$527,737
Explanation:
The Bond Payment or Coupon always includes the Interest Portion and the the Capital Potion. The question only requires the Interest Portion of the Bond.
The Bond Parameters can be set as :
PV = - $5,259,870
FV = $5,700,000
PMT = ($5,700,000 x 8%) ÷ 2 = $228,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
YTM = 10 %
P/YR = 2
Constructing an amortization schedule for 2020 gives :
Date Capital Portion Interest Balance
June 30 $34,994 $262,994 $5,294,864
Dec 30 $36,743 $264,743 $5,331,607
Total $71,737 $527,737 $5,331,607
therefore,
The amount of interest expense to be reported for 2020 is $527,737
Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
25,317 unit
Explanation:
Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)
Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)
Current price of bond = $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = $48,500,000 / $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430
Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit
Dream, Inc., has debt outstanding with a face value of $6 million. The value of the firm if it were entirely financed by equity would be $18.25 million. The company also has 440,000 shares of stock outstanding that sell at a price of $32 per share. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. What is the decrease in the value of the company due to expected bankruptcy costs? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
$955,000
Explanation:
According to the Modigliani and Miller theory, we can calculate the value of the levered firm which is denoted by;
VI = Vu + tB
VI = 18.25million + 0.35(6million)
VI = 20.35 million
We can also calculate the total market value of the firm Vt by adding the debt (B) with the total equity (SV)
Vt = B + SV
Vt = 5 million + 440,000(32)
Vt = 5 million + 14.80 million
Vt = 19.80 million
Then the decrease in the value of the company due to bankruptcy is
Vb = VI - Vt
Vb = 20.35 million - 19.80 million
VB = $955,000

Data on the level of support for corporate sustainability (measured on a quantitative scale ranging from 0 to 160 points) for each of 992 senior managers at CPA firms are saved in CORSUS.txt
a) Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
b) Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
c) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption
Answer:
A) attached below
B) mean value = 67.755, std = 26.871
C) IQR( interquartile range ) = 37
Explanation:
A) Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of normality assumption
Using Minitab to construct the Histogram from the shape of the Histogram we can see that the Normality assumption is valid because the shape is fairly symmetric
screenshot of Histogram is attached below
B) Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
still using Minitab to determine the std and mean values
mean value = 67.755, std = 26.871
Next : find the percentage of the observation that lie within 1,2 and 3 std from the mean
For one(1) std from the mean the interval = ( 40.884, 94.626 )
percentage of observation = 665 / 992 = 67.04
For two(2) std from the mean; The interval = ( 14.013 , 121.497 )
percentage of observation = 946 / 992 = 95.36%
For three(3) std from the mean ; The interval = ( -12.858, 148.368 )
percentage of observations = 991 / 992 = 99.90%
The percentages from the above calculations indicates the validity of the normality assumption
C) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption
using MINITAB
since the data are assumed Normal; Ratio = [tex]\frac{IQR}{S} = 1.3[/tex]
std (s) = 26.871, IQR( interquartile range ) = 37
Next check if IQR / S will be = 1.3
= 37 / 26.871 = 1.377 ( This validates the normality assumption )
Jamarcus was his collegiate chapter's delegate at a national conference of a professional business fraternity, Phi Chi Theta, in which he is a member.

8. Zelda owns a 50% general interest in YZ Partnership. At the beginning of the current year, the adjusted basis in her partnership interest was $95,000. In the current year, YZ generated a $110,000 business loss, earned $15,000 dividend and interest income on its investments and recognized a $7,000 capital gain. YZ also made a $5,000 distribution to Zelda. Compute Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Answer:
$52,500
Explanation:
Computation for Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-(50%*$110,000)+(50%*$15,000)+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-$55,000+$7,500+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis= $52,500
Based on the information given we assumed 50% because Zelda is a 50% partner.
Therefore Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year will be $52,500

Zeus, Inc. produces a product that has a variable cost of $9.50 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $40,000. The product sells for $12.00 a unit and the company desires to earn a $20,000 profit. What is the volume of sales in units required to achieve the target profit? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 26,087
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $12
Unitary variable cost= 9.7
Fixed costs= $40,000
Desired profit= $20,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (40,000 + 20,000) / (12 - 9.7)
Break-even point in units= 26,087
If The Wall Street Journal lists a stock's dividend as $1, then it is most likely the case that the stock: Multiple Choice pays $1 per share per quarter. paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year. paid $1 during the past quarter, with no future dividends forecast. is expected to pay a dividend of $1 per share at the end of next year.
Answer:
paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Explanation:
A stock is ownership rights purchased by investors in a public company. Holders of stock are called stockholders and they are regarded as owners of the company.
Stockholders are paid dividends. Dividends are a proportion of a company's profits paid to shareholders.
If the stock's dividend is $1, it means it either paid $1 the past year or paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
The expected return on a portfolio: Group of answer choices can be greater than the expected return on the best performing security in the portfolio. can be less than the expected return on the worst performing security in the portfolio. is independent of the performance of the overall economy. is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio. is an arithmetic average of the returns of the individual securities when the weights of those securities are unequal.
Answer:
is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio is simply defined as a list of securities showing how much is (or will be) invested in each of them.
The expected return on a portfolio is calculated as the weighted average of the expected returns on the securities that the portfolio involves. The weight of each security is the a Portion or a fraction of wealth invested in that security. Expected return on a portfolio of N securities is: rp= sum (Xr).
Expected Return is usually based on anticipated income and anticipated capital appreciation.
On January 1, 2019, Metco Inc. reported 268,000 shares of $5 par value common stock as being issued and outstanding. On March 24, 2019, Metco Inc. purchased for its treasury 3,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $38.00 per share. On August 19, 2019, 610 of these treasury shares were sold for $46.50 per share. Metco's directors declared cash dividends of $0.40 per share during the second quarter and again during the fourth quarter, payable on June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2019, respectively. A 2% stock dividend was issued at the end of the year. There were no other transactions affecting common stock during the year. Calculate the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend.
Answer:
The number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.
Explanation:
This can be determined as follows:
Number of shares before stock dividend = Number of shares reported on January 1, 2019 - Number of shares purchased for its treasury on March 24, 2019 + Number of treasury shares were sold on August 19, 2019 = 268,000 - 3,000 + 610 = 265,610
Number of dividend shares = Number of shares before stock dividend * Rate of stock dividend issued = 265,610 * 2% = 5,312.20
Therefore, the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.

b. Compute the deferred taxes at December 31, 2021, that relate to the temporary differences described above.
c. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a. Taxable income for 2021.
Sage Company:
Computation of Taxable income and income tax for 2021
Pretax financial Income = $87000
Permanent differences:
Fine for Pollution = $3200
Interest revenue on municipal bonds = -$1500
Temporary differences:
Less: Excess of depreciation as per tax over books = -$26400
Add: Warranty expense in books higher than as per tax = $4700
Less: Gross profit as per books higher than as per tax on construction contracts = -$18200
Taxable Income = $48800
Income Tax (20%) = $9760
b. Deferred Taxes:
Deferred tax assets = $4700*20% = $940
Deferred tax liability = ($26,400 + $18,200) * 20% = $8920
c. Note: Journal Entries are attached in the attachment below.
Economic costs of unemployment
Consider a hypothetical economy in which potential output is $200 billion and the natural rate of unemployment is 4%. The current unemployment rate is 5.6%. Since the unemployment rate is greater than the natural rate of unemployment, the economy's actual GDP will be______ potential GDP.
According to Okun's law, the economy's GDP gap is billion. The burden of an increase in the economy-wide unemployment rate can differ widely across regions and across different groups of people. For example, in the United States, the jobless rate among workers with only a high school diploma has tended to be________ than the jobless rate among college graduates.
Answer: less than; higher
Explanation:
Since the unemployment rate is greater than the natural rate of unemployment, the economy's actual GDP will be less than potential GDP.
...the jobless rate among workers with only a high school diploma has tended to be higher than the jobless rate among college graduates.
When the economy is at its natural rate of unemployment, it means that the economy is producing at potential GDP. If however, the unemployment rate is more than this natural rate, it means that the economy is facing a downturn which is causing companies to not employ as much labor. Actual GDP is therefore lower than Potential GDP.
Workers with more specialized skills will usually feel the impact of an increase in unemployment less those with more general skills will. For this reason, college graduates will see less unemployment than those with only a high school diploma.
Revi Corp. provides the following information for the upcoming year: It expects to sell 29,000 pool cues for $13 each. Direct materials costs are $3, direct manufacturing labor is $5, and manufacturing overhead is $0.83 per pool cue. The following inventory levels apply to the upcoming year: Beginning inventory Ending inventory Direct materials 24,000 units 24,000 units Work-in-process inventory 0 units 0 units Finished goods inventory 1,200 units 2,800 units What are the budgeted costs for direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead, respectively
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the production budget and this will be:
Sales = $29000
Add: Closing inventory of finished goods = $2800
Less: Opening inventory of finished goods = $1200
Production budget = $30600
Direct material purchased:
Production = 30600
Add: Closing inventory of direct material = 24000
Less: Opening inventory of direct material = 24000
Direct material purchased = 36000
a. Budgeted costs for direct materials
= Direct material purchased × price per unit
= 30600 × $3
= $91800
b. Direct manufacturing labor
= Production unit × Cost per unit
= 30600 × $5
= $153000
c. Manufacturing overhead
= Production units × Cost per unit
= 30600 × $0.83
= $25398

A publishing house is using 400 printers and 200 printing presses to produce books. The printers' wage rate is $20 and the price of a printing press is $100. The last printer added 20 books to total output, while the last press added 50 books to total output. In order to maximize the number of books published with a budget of $28,000, the publishing house
Answer:
The publishing house is not using cost minimizing combination of printers and printing press.
Explanation:
The publishing house go towards more of printers and less of printing press because the cost of printing price is almost three times higher than the cots of printers. Also the output of printing press is lower and the output of printers is almost double. The publishing house should use such a combination of both the available resources which maximizes its revenue.
Roberta transfers property with a tax basis of $495 and a fair market value of $546 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $356 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $190 on the property transferred. What is the amount realized by Roberta in the exchange
Answer: $546
Explanation:
The amount realized by Roberta in the exchange will be gotten through the addition of the fair value of the stock that was acquired to the liability that's assumed by the corporation. This will be:
Fair value of stock acquired = $356
Add: Liability assumed by corporation = $190
Amount realised = $356 + $190 = $546

2. The market price of Teal Mountain stock was $15 in 2017.
3. Cash dividends of $24,700 were paid, $ 6,500 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2017.
(a) Earnings per share $_____
(b) Price-earnings ratio _____ times
(c) Payout ratio _____ %
(d) Times interest earned _____ times
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. The earnings per share would be calculated as;
Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred stock dividend) / Average number of common shares outstanding
But
Weighted average number of common shares = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding at then end) / 2
= (30,000 + 39,000) / 2
= 34,500
Preferred stock dividend = 6,500
Therefore,
Earnings per share = ($57,000 - $6,500) / 34,500
= $50,500 / 34,500
= $1.46
b. Price earnings ratio
= Market price per share / Earning per share
= $15 / $1.46
= 10.27 times
c. The payout ratio
= (Total cash dividends - Preferred stock dividends) / Net income
= ($24,700 - $6,500) / $57,000
= $18,200 / $57,00)
= 31.93%
d. Times interest
= ( Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense.
= $57,000 + $10,200 + $29,600) / $10,200
= $96,800 / $10,200
= 9.49 times
AP* Price discrimination occurs when differences in a product's price reflect differences in marginal costs differences in a product's price reflect differences in marginal costs a products's average cost is greater than its average revenue a products's average cost is greater than its average revenue differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production a product's average cost is less than its average revenue a product's average cost is less than its average revenue the supply of the product is elastic
Answer:
differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
One of the importance associated with the pricing of products is that, it improves the image of a business firm.
Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.
This ultimately implies that, price discrimination occurs when differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.

Dumphy and Funke are rival tattoo artists in the small town of Feline. There are no other tattoo artists in town. It costs $30 to produce a Tweety Bird tattoo. Assume for simplicity that fixed costs are zero and that Dumphy and Funke perform identical work. For a while, there was too much demand for Funke and Dumphy to handle and they both charged $200 for a tattoo. But recently, demand has dropped significantly and there is not enough work for both to fill their days at any price. However, there is some demand at all prices. What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand
Answer: price competition
Explanation:
The type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand is price competition.
Price competition simply means when the companies in a particular industry lower their prices afsubst the prices of identical products in order to boost demand and sales.
Since there's a reduction in demand, Dumphy and Funke will engage in price competition to boost sales.

labor hrs.:
Variable cost, $4.00 $8,200 variable cost
Fixed cost, $6.00 $12,000 fixed cost
Each tire requires 0.5 hour of direct labor.
Required:
a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.
b. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.
c. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:
1. Direct Materials Price Variance
2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance
3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance
Direct Materials Price Variance:
It can be calculated by using the following formula:
DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)
Where,
DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance
AQ = Actual Quantity
AP = Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.
AQ = 101,000
AP = 6.50 USD
SP = 6.40 USD
So,
DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)
DMPV = 10,100 USD
Direct Materials Quantity Variance:
DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )
Where,
DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?
SP = Standard Price = 6.40 USD
AQ = Actual Quantity = 101,000
SQ = Standard Quantity = 100,000
Plugging in the values:
DMQV = 6.40 ( 101,000 - 100,000)
DMQV = 6400 USD
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:
DMCV = SMC - AMC
Where,
DMCV = Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?
SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000
AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000
DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)
DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500
DMCV = 16,500 USD
b.
For part b, we need following particulars:
1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)
2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)
3. Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
Where,
ADLR = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD
SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD
ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000
So,
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
DLRV = (15.40 USD - 15.75 USD ) x 2000
DLRV = 700 USD
Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):
DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR
SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080
DLTV = ( 2000 - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD
DLTV = 1260 USD
Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
DLCV = SDLC - ADLC
SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost
ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost
DLCV = (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)
DLCV = 1960 USD
c.
For Part c, we need following:
1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)
2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)
3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)
variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):
VFOCV = AFO - B
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 8200
B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4
B = 8320 USD
VFOCV = 8200 - 8320
VFOCV = 120 USD
fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :
FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR
Where,
S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5
BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080
SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD
FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5 - 2080) x 6
FFOVV = 0 USD
Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):
TFOCV = AFO - SO
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200
SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10
TFOCV = 20,200 - ( 2080 x 10 )
TFOCV = 600 USD
Apple Inc. just paid a dividend of $3 per share. You expect that Apple's dividend will increase at the rate of 10% per year for the next 10 years. After that, you expect that Apple Inc. will increase its dividend at the rate of 3% per year forever. The required rate of return for Apple is 20%. What is the price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid?
Answer:
The price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid is $26.79.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values for year 1 to 10 dividends.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Previous year dividend in year 1 = Dividend just paid = $3
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $19.17617169980840
Year 10 dividend = $7.781227380
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $7.781227380 * (100% + 3%) = $8.0146642014
Price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $8.0146642014 / (20% - 3%) = $47.1450835376471
PV of price at year 10 = Price at year 10 / (100% + Required return)^Number of years = $47.1450835376471 / (100% + 20%)^10 = $7.61419419713817
Price of Apple = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 + PV of price at year 10 = $19.17617169980840 + $7.61419419713817 = $26.79
