During 2018 and 2019, Jessica made interest-only payments on this loan of $21,000 (each year). On July 1, 2018, when her home was worth $580,000 Jessica borrowed an additional $145,000 secured by the home at an interest rate of 8 percent. During 2018, she made interest-only payments on the second loan in the amount of $5,800. During 2019, she made interest only on the second loan in the amount of $11,600. What is the maximum amount of the $32,600 interest expense Jessica paid during 2019 may she deduct as an itemized deduction if she used the proceeds of the second loan to finish the basement in her home and landscape her yard
Answer:
$32,600
Explanation:
Calculation to determine her itemized deduction if she used the proceeds of the second loan to finish the basement in her home and landscape her yard
Using this formula
Itemized deduction =(Financing amount * 6 percent)+(Additional amount borrowed*interest rate of 8 percent)
Let plug in the formula
Itemized deduction=( $350,000 * 6 percent)+($145,000 *8 percent)
Itemized deduction=($21,000+$11,600)
Itemized deduction=$32,600
Therefore her itemized deduction if she used the proceeds of the second loan to finish the basement in her home and landscape her yard wi be $32,600
f-1. Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, on January 1, 2020, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $170,000 but had a $84,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $118,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. What worksheet entries are made for a December 31, 2021, consolidation of these two companies to eliminate the impact of the intra-entity transfer
Answer:
Journal 1
Debit : Other Income $34,000
Credit : Equipment $34,000
Journal 2
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $6,800
Credit : depreciation $6,800
Explanation:
Step 1 : Eliminate the Income resulting from sale and the additional value of equipment sitting in the buyer books
Income = Selling Price - Carrying Amount
where,
Carrying Amount = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $84,000
therefore,
Income = $118,000 - $84,000 = $34,000
Journal;
Debit : Other Income $34,000
Credit : Equipment $34,000
Step 2 : Eliminate the unrealized profit as a result of additional asset value
unrealized profit = income ÷ remaining useful life
= $34,000 ÷ 5
= $6,800
Journal;
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $6,800
Credit : depreciation $6,800
Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $28 per unit and whose variable expense is $23 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $9,500. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 9,500 / (28 - 23)
Break-even point in units= 1,900 units
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 9,500 / (5 / 28)
Break-even point (dollars)= $53,200
Finally, the fixed costs increase to $10,100:
Break-even point in units= 10,100 / 5
Break-even point in units= 2,020 units
Break-even point (dollars)= 10,100 / (5/28)
Break-even point (dollars)= $56,560
Grey Corp owns 100% of Blue Company. On January 1, 2017 Grey sold Blue a machine for $66,000. Immediately prior to the sale, the machine was recorded on Grey's books at a net book value of $25,000. Prior to the sale, Grey was depreciating the machine on a straight-line basis with 9 years of remaining life and no salvage value. Blue plans to adopt the same depreciation assumptions as Grey. What elimination adjustments with respect to this sale must be made to consolidated net income in 2018 (ignoring income tax effects)
Answer:
Journal 1 - Eliminate gain on sale :
Debit : Other Income ($66,000 - $25,000) $41,000
Credit : Machinery $41,000
Journal 2 - Eliminate the unrealized profit from the sale :
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $4,556
Credit : Depreciation $4,556
Explanation:
Grey Corp and Blue Company are in a group of Companies. Grey Corp is the Parent and should prepare Consolidated Financial Statements . Blue Company is a subsidiary (Grey owns more that 50 % of voting rights in Blue Company).
When preparing Consolidated Financial Statements, intragroup transaction must be eliminated. As they happen, a Company trades within its-self that is the reason they should be eliminated.
Concerning the sale of machine by Grey (Parent) to Blue (Subsidiary), we must first eliminate the Income (gain on sale) in Parent as well as the asset that sits in the Subsidiary.
Debit : Other Income ($66,000 - $25,000) $41,000
Credit : Machinery $41,000
Also, we have to eliminate the unrealized profit on the gain of the asset sold.
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $4,556
Credit : Depreciation $4,556
Deprecation calculation :
Deprecation = $41,000 ÷ 9 = $4,556

1. Using ABC, overhead cost assigned to Job #971 for machine setup is:____.
a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020 .
2. Using ABC, overhead cost assigned to Job #971 for machine repair is:____.
a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 21,600/540= $40 per setup
Machine repair= 1,260/31,500= $0.04 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to Job 971:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 40*30= $1,200
Machine repair= 0.04*15,000= $600

You have your choice of two investment accounts. Investment A is a 6-year annuity that features end-of-month $1,980 payments and has an interest rate of 7 percent compounded monthly. Investment B is an annually compounded lump-sum investment with an interest rate of 9 percent, also good for 6 years.
How much money would you need to invest in B today for it to be worth as much as Investment A 6 years from now? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$112,166
Explanation:
the future value of Investment A:
payment = $1,980
n = 6 x 12 = 72
i = 9% / 12 = 0.75%
FVIFA = [(1 + i)ⁿ- 1 ] / i = [(1 + 0.0075)⁷² - 1 ] / 0.0075 = 95.007
future value = $1,980 x 95.007 = $188,114
now we need to determine the PV of investment B:
PV = $188,114 / (1 + 9%)⁶ = $112,166
Answer: $105,264.24
Explanation:
Step 1) Calculate Future Value of Investment A
Rate: .07/12 = .58%
Payment: $1,980
Term: 72 (6 years * 12 months)
Future Value: ?
In excel -> FV(.58,72,-1980,0)
Future Value = $176,538.67
Step 2) Calculate Present Value of Investment B using Investment A Future Value
Rate: .09
Payment: $0
Term: 6
Future Value: $176,538.67 (from step 1)
PV(.09,6,0,-176538.67)
Present Value = $105,264.24
Thats your answer!! ^^^^^

The underlying principle of the temporal method is Group of answer choices all balance sheet accounts are translated at the current exchange rate, except stockholder equity. monetary balance sheet accounts should be translated at the spot rate; nonmonetary accounts are translated at the historical rate in effect when the account was first recorded. monetary accounts are translated at the current exchange rate; other accounts are translated at the current exchange rate if they are carried on the books at current value; items carried at historical cost are translated at historic exchange rates. assets and liabilities should be translated based on their maturity.
Answer:
monetary accounts are translated at the current exchange rate; other accounts are translated at the current exchange rate if they are carried on the books at current value; items carried at historical cost are translated at historic exchange rates.
Explanation:
The principle of the temporal method means that the accounts that are monetary in nature would be transform at the current or present exchange rate, also the other account would be transform but they should be at the current value. In addition to this, if the items are at historical cost so they should be transform at historic exchange rates

The price of Microsoft is $37 per share and that of Apple is $43 per share. The price of Microsoft increases to $42 per share after one year and to $47 after two years. Also, shares of Apple increase to $49 after one year and to $59 after two years. If your portfolio comprises 100 shares of each security, what is your portfolio return in year 1 and year 2
Answer: 13.75% ; 16.48%
Explanation:
Year 0:
Microsoft: Current value = 100 at $37 = $3700
Apple: Current value = 100 at $43 = $4300
Portfolio value = $3700 + $4300 = $8000
Year 1:
Microsoft: value at year 1 = 100 at $42 = $4200
Apple: value at year 1= 100 at $49 = $4900
Portfolio value = $4200 + $4900 = $9100
Year 2:
Microsoft: value at year 2 = 100 at $47 = $4700
Apple: value at year 2 = 100 at $59 = $5900
Portfolio value = $4700 + $5900 = $10600
Therefore, Portfolio returns for year 1 will be:
= (value at the end of year 1 / current value) - 1
= (9100 / 8000) - 1
= 1.1375 - 1
= 0.1375
= 13.75%
Portfolio returns for year 2 will be:
= (value at the end of year 2 / value at the end of year 1) - 1
= (10600 / 9100) - 1
= 16.48%
Nthanda Corporation has just completed a physical inventory count at year end, December 31, 2020. Only the items on the shelves, in storage, and in the receiving area were counted and costed on the FIFO basis. The inventory amounted to K80,000.

Trainees are put through a two-month school. The fixed cost of running one session of this school is $150,000. Any number of sessions can be run during the year but must be scheduled so that the airline always has enough flight attendants. The cost of having excess attendants is simply the salary that they receive, which is $15,000 per month. How many sessions of the school
Answer:
The airline training school can run maximum of 10 sessions.
Explanation:
There can be 10 sessions which can be held at the training school. The airline school needs to have enough attendants so that they do not run a session in spare capacity. If a session is run with few attendants then it will cost $15,000 per session which is an additional cost burden for the airline training school.

On January 1, 2018, ABC purchased a commercial truck for $48,000 and uses the straight-line depreciation method. The truck has a useful life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $8,000. Assume the truck was totaled in an accident on December 31, 2019. What amount of gain or loss should ABC record on December 31, 2019 (If a loss, put a minus number in front)
Answer:
$38,000 Loss
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount of gain or loss should ABC record on December 31, 2019
First step is to calculate the depreciation per year
Depreciation per year =($48,000 − $8,000)/8 years
Depreciation per year= $5,000
Now let determine calculation the book value After two years,
Book value= [$48,000 − ($5,000 × 2 years)]
Book value=$48,000-$10,000
Book value= $38,000 Loss
Therefore the amount of loss that ABC should record on December 31, 2019 is $38,000
The carrying value of bonds at maturity always equals: Multiple Choice the amount of discount or premium. the amount of cash originally received in exchange for the bonds plus any unamortized discount or less any premium. the par value of the bond. the amount of cash originally received in exchange for the bonds. the amount in excess of par value.
Answer: the par value of the bond
Explanation:
The carrying value of bonds at maturity will always be equal to the par value of the bond. The carrying value of a bond is simply refered to as the bond's face value or par value plus the premiums taht are unamortized.
We should note that during the time of maturity of the bond, there'll have been an ammortization of the discounts or premiums, while the bond's par value will be left.
The carrying value of bonds at maturity always equals to the amount of cash originally received in exchange for the bonds plus any unamortized discount or less any premium. Thus, option (b) is correct.
At maturity, bonds' carrying values will always be the same as their par values. The face value or par value of a bond plus any unamortized premiums are simply referred to as the bond's carrying value.
To put it another way, it is the total of a bond's face value, any unamortized premiums, and any unamortized discounts, if any. The par value, interest rate, and remaining maturity period of the bond must all be known before calculating the carrying value using the effective interest rate technique.
Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Calculate the output gap for 2017. % b. Calculate the output gap for 2018. % c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more .
Answer:
a. Output gap for 2017 = –0.66%
b. Output gap for 2018 = 0.27%
c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more positive.
Explanation:
The following are given in the question:
Year Potential GDP Real GDP
2017 $18.17 trillion $18.05 trillion
2018 $18.51 trillion $18.56 trillion
To calculate output gap in percentage form, the following formula is used:
Output gap = ((Real GDP - Potential GDP) / Potential GDP) * 100 ......... (1)
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the output gap for 2017. %
Using equation (1), we have:
Output gap for 2017 = ((18.05 - 18.17) / 18.17) * 100 = –0.66%
b. Calculate the output gap for 2018. %
Using equation (1), we have:
Output gap for 2018 = ((18.56 - 18.51) / 18.51) * 100 = 0.27%
c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more .
Since the output gap in 2017 is negative while the output gap in 2018 is positive; this implies that from 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more positive.

If they do not fit into either box (e.g. not likely to occur in an expansion), leave them unsorted.
Likely to occur in an expansion and increase the trade deficit
Likely to occur in an expansion and decrease the trade deficit
private savings decrease domestic private investment increases private savings increase government borrowing decreases imports increase government borrowing increases domestic private investment decreases imports decrease
Answer:
Likely to occur in an expansion and increase the trade deficit.
Domestic private investment increasesImports increaseAs a result of expansion, there is more income in the economy which means that people will be able to invest more. The investment will however lead to more imports as capital goods are acquired. This will therefore increase the trade deficit which is defined as the difference between net exports and net imports.
Likely to occur in an expansion and decrease the trade deficit.
Private savings increaseGovernment borrowing decreasesIn an expansion, people will have more income and so will save more. As a result of them not spending these savings on imports, the trade deficit will go down.
Also with the economy in an expansion, the government would not need to borrow as much money to prop up the economy. This will reduce the trade deficit which includes loans from outside.
Adkins Bakery uses the modified half-month convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or sold. Adkins has a calendar year accounting period and uses the straight-line method to compute depreciation expense. On March 17, 2018, Adkins acquired equipment at a cost of $220,000. The equipment has a residual value of $43,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. What amount of depreciation expense will be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2018
Answer:
Depreciation expense= $36,875
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 220,000
Residual value = 43,000
Estimated useful life = 4 years
Annual depreciation = (220,000- 43,000)/4 =44,250
Annual depreciation = 44,250.
Under the half-month convention, a full month depreciation is charged where an asset is first put to at the middle month of the month.
Thus March 17, 2018 to December 2018 is taken to be 10 full months
Depreciation expense = 44,250.× 10/12 = 36,875
Depreciation expense= $36,875
Storm Tools has formed a new business unit to produce battery-powered drills. The business unit was formed by the transfer of selected assets and obligations from the parent company. The unit's initial balance sheet on January 1 contained cash ($500,000), plant and equipment ($2,500,000), notes payable to the parent ($1,000,000), and residual equity ($2,000,000).
The business unit is expected to repay the note at $50,000 per month, plus all accrued interest at 1/2% per month. Payments are made on the last day of each month.
The unit is scheduled to produce 25,000 drills during January, with an increase of 2,500 units per month for the next three months. Each drill requires $40 of raw materials. Raw materials are purchased on account, and paid in the month following the month of purchase. The plant manager has established a goal to end each month with raw materials on hand, sufficient to meet 25% of the following month's planned production.
The unit expects to sell 20,000 drills in January; 25,000 in February, 25,000 in March, and 30,000 per month thereafter. The selling price is $100 per drill. Half of the drills will be sold for cash through a website. The others will be sold to retailers on account, who pay 40% in the month of purchase, and 60% in the following month. Uncollectible accounts are not material. Each drill requires 20 minutes of direct labor to assemble. Labor rates are $24 per hour. Variable factory overhead is applied at $9 per direct labor hour. The fixed factory overhead is $25,000 per month; 60% of this amount is related to depreciation of plant and equipment. With the exception of depreciation, all overhead is funded as incurred.
Selling, general, and administrative costs are funded in cash as incurred, and consist of fixed components (salaries, $100,000; office, $40,000; and advertising, $75,000) and variable components (15% of sales). Prepare a monthly comprehensive budget plan for Storm's new business unit for January through March. The plan should include the (a) sales and cash collections budget, (b) production budget, (c) direct materials purchases and payments budget, (d) direct labor budget, (e) factory overhead budget, (f) ending finished goods budget (assume total factory overhead is applied to production at the rate of $11.73 per direct labor hour), (g) SG&A budget, and (h) cash budget.

13) Storico Co. just paid a dividend of $3.15 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 20 percent next year and then reduce its dividend growth rate by 5 percentage points per year until it reaches the industry average of 5 percent dividend growth, after which the company will keep a constant growth rate forever. If the required return on the company’s stock is 12 percent, what will a share of stock sell for today? (4 pts)
Answer:
$61.29
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what will a share of stock sell for today
First step is to calculate the price in Year 3
P3= $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)(1.05) / (.12 – .05)
P3= $5.020785/0.07
P3=$71.72
Now Let Calculate the price of stock today using the Present Value (PV) of the first three dividends in addition with the Present Value (PV) of the stock price in Year 3:
P0= $3.15(1.20)/(1.12) + $3.15(1.20)(1.15)/1.12^²+ $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)/1.12^³+ $71.72/1.12^³
P0=$3.78/1.12+$4.347/1.2544+$4.7817/1.404928+$71.72/1.404928
P0=$3.375+3.465+3.4035+$51.048
P0= $61.29
Therefore what will a share of stock sell for today is $61.29
