Answer:
b. $612,000
Explanation:
Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000
The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000
Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices= $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

How do you respond to this?
Answer:
The following is how I would deal with the issue of drinking and other associated issues among the Patron in the venue.
A) How do you respond to these patrons?
O. Issue the group with a warning to make sure they know the type of behaviour that the venue expects.
B) One of the patrons comes to the bar to order a few jugs of pre-mix alcoholic drinks for the group. Refuse service to the patron and explain why serving alcohol in this manner is irresponsible.
O. I would refuse to serve the group with the mix which they wanted because they are already drunk going by their behaviour. This would also help to prevent total intoxication in the group which would end up endangering the road users should they decide to go home by driving. The best option would be to ensure that, they took taxi back to their various homes rather than driving themselves.
C) The patron is not happy that you have refused him service and he pressures you to serve the group the jugs of alcohol. More of the patron’s friends ........D) How do you respond to this?
O. By subtle reminder to them that, they are becoming a public nuisance in the venue, and would end up calling the police should the continue with their acts.

The exclusive right to publish and sell a literary, artistic, or musical composition is granted by a patent. trademark. copyright. franchise.
Answer:
1. Amortization Expense; Patents.
2. Copyright.
Explanation:
Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.
Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.
Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of
I. Trademarks.
II. Patents.
III. Copyright.
Copyright law can be defined as a set of formal rules granted by a government to protect an intellectual property by giving the owner an exclusive right to use while preventing any unauthorized access, use or duplication by others.
Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;
1. The entry to record the amortization of a patent would include a debit to amortization expense and a credit to patents. Amortization in financial accounting is used to periodically lower the book value of a loan principal or an intangible asset such as intellectual property over a set period of time.
2. Copyright: the exclusive right to publish and sell a literary, artistic, or musical composition is granted by a patent.
Quartz Corporation is a relatively new firm. Quartz has experienced enough losses during its early years to provide it with at least eight years of tax loss carryforwards. Thus, Quartz’s effective tax rate is zero. Quartz plans to lease equipment from New Leasing Company. The term of the lease is four years. The purchase cost of the equipment is $970,000. New Leasing Company is in the 30 percent tax bracket. There are no transaction costs to the lease. Each firm can borrow at 10 percent.
a. What is Quartz’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Reservation price $
b. What is New Leasing Company’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Reservation price $
Answer:
a. Quartz’s reservation price = $306,006.68
b. New Leasing Company’s reservation price = $234,034.25
Explanation:
Given:
Cost = Cost of the equipment = $970,000
n = number of years of lease term = 4
r = cost of borrowing rate = 10%, or 0.10
t = tax rate = 30%, or 0.30
DF = Discounting factor or PV of $1 = ((1-(1/(1 + r))^n)/r) = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.10))^5)/0.10) = 3.16986544634929
a. What is Quartz’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
The implication of the zero effective tax rate is that depreciation tax shield foregone does not exist. In addition, there is no difference between the after-tax lease payment and the pre-tax payment, and there is also no difference between the pre-tax cost of debt and the after-tax cost.
Quartz’s reservation price can therefore be calculated by setting net advantage to leasing (NAL) equal to zero and solve as follows:
NAL = 0 = Cost – (PMT * DF) ………… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
0 = $970,000 – (PMT * 3.16986544634929)
$970,000 = PMT * 3.16986544634929
PMT = $970,000 / 3.16986544634929
PMT = $306,006.68
Quartz’s reservation price = PMT = $306,006.68
b. What is New Leasing Company’s reservation price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Depreciation tax shield = (Cost / n) * t = ($970,000 / 4) * 30% = $72,750
New r = After-tax debt cost = r * (1 - t) = 0.10 * (1 - 0.30) = 0.07
New DF = ((1-(1/(1 + New r))^n)/New r) = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.07))^5)/0.07) = 4.10019743594759
The New Leasing Company’s reservation price can therefore be calculated by setting NPV to zero as follows:
NPV = 0 = -Cost + (PMT * (1 – t) * New DF) + (Depreciation tax shield * New DF)
0 = -$970,000 + (PMT * (1-0.30) * 04.10019743594759) + ($72,750 * 4.10019743594759)
$970,000 - ($72,750 * 4.10019743594759) = PMT * (1-0.30) * 04.10019743594759
$671,710.636534813 = PMT * 2.87013820516331
PMT = $671,710.636534813 / 2.87013820516331
PMT = $234,034.25
New Leasing Company’s reservation price = PMT = $234,034.25
What is the primary characteristic that differentials a zero based budget from a conventional budget. A. A zero based budget does not take inflation into account. B. The zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year. C. A zero based budget rolls historical data forward. D. A zero based budget uses a fixed volume growth rate.
Answer:
B. The zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year.
Explanation:
A zero based budget is one that does not take into account historical data when it is considering the present year budget. Each departmental requirement is re-evaluated and a new amount is assigned as budget for the year.
However conventional budgets carryover the previous year's expenses as a base data point. This results in similar budgeting across years.
So the main difference between the two is that zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year.

Scott Bestor is an accountant for Westfield Company. Early this year, Scott made a highly favorable projection of sales and profits over the next 3 years for Westfield's hot-selling computer PLEX. As a result of the projections Scott presented to senior management, the company decided to expand production in this area. This decision led to dislocations of some plant personnel who were reassigned to one of the company's newer plants in another state. However, no one was fired, and in fact the company expanded its workforce slightly. Unfortunately, Scott rechecked his projection computations a few months later and found that he had made an error that would have reduced his projections substantially. Luckily, sales of PLEX have exceeded projections so far, and management is satisfied with its decision. Scott, however, is not sure what to do. Should he confess his honest mistake and jeopardize his possible promotion
Answer:
Scott Bestor should confess his honest mistake.
Explanation:
Two of most important attributes that are required from an accountant are integrity and trustworthiness.
Refusing to tell the management his honest mistake in order not jeopardize his possible promotion is a short-run gain to him. But confessing his honest mistake has a long run gain as this will preserve his integrity and trustworthiness forever. In addition, it is unethical and a sign of disloyalty for an accountant not to disclose all the information relevant to the company based on his position as an account.
Therefore, Scott Bestor should confess his honest mistake rather than sacrificing his integrity and trustworthiness as well as the ethic of his profession for a short-term gain (i.e. promotion).
Connolly Company produces two types of lamps, classic and fancy, with unit contribution margins of $13 and $21, respectively. Each lamp must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns four machines that together provide 18,000 hours of machine time per year. The classic lamp requires 0.20 hours of machine time, the fancy lamp requires 0.50 hours of machine time.
How many of each type of lamp must be sold to optimize total contribution margin?
a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
b. 0 classic lamps; 9,000 fancy lamps
c. 18,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
d. 0 classic lamps; 30,000 fancy lamps
e. 10,000 classic lamps; 10,000 fancy lamps
Answer:
a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
Explanation:
To determine the optimise total contribution, we need to calculate the contribution margin per hour of machine time for both the lamps. Then the result of whichever is higher would be produced.
Moreover, as there is no limitation on how many lamps can be produced, therefore, we would assume that we can make as many as we want up to the limit of machine-hours available. The calculation is done as follows:
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one classic lamp
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 13 / 0.2
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 65
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one fancy lamp
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 21 / 0.5
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 42
Since classic lamp has the higher contribution margin per hour. Therefore, all the machine hours would be used to make classic lamps.
= 18,000 / 0.2
= 90,000
Hence, 90,000 classic lamps would be sold while no fancy lamps will be sold to optimise total contribution (which would be 65 x 18,000 = $1,170,000).

Additionally, the FOMC is likely the discount rate.
Answer:
A. decreasing
B. decrease
Using the floor framework, the FOMC is likely to influence interest rates by the interest rate it pays on excess reserves and decreasing its overnight borrowing from financial institutions. Additionally, the FOMC is likely decreasing the discount rate.
What is FOMC?The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is in control of the discount rate and reserve requirements, while the Federal Open Market Committee is in charge of carrying out open market activities.
The FOMC is in charge of setting interest rate targets and controlling the money supply. The Fed has historically been motivated by two objectives: first, to maintain stable prices; and second, to achieve full employment.
When the Federal Open Market Committee raises interest rates, the economy and stock markets are impacted because borrowing costs for households and businesses might go up or down.

On June 30, 2020, Lynch Co. declared and issued a 15 percent stock dividend. Prior to this dividend, Lynch had 50,000 shares of $10 par value common stock issued and outstanding. The market value of Lynch Co.'s common stock on June 30, 2020, was $24 per share. As a result of this stock dividend, by what amount would Lynch's total stockholders' equity increase (decrease)? Group of answer choices
Answer:
$75,000 decrease
Explanation:
The total stockholders' equity decreases by the same amount of dividend distributed. This is so because distributions are made out of the Retained earnings which is a reserve set aside for stockholders and constitutes stockholders' equity.
So we have to calculate the value of dividend distributed. Dividends are calculated using book values instead of market value of stocks as follows :
Dividend = 50,000 x $10 x 15 % = $75,000

Given the following information: Percent of capital structure: Preferred stock 10 % Common equity (retained earnings) 40 Debt 50 Additional information: Corporate tax rate 34 % Dividend, preferred $ 7.00 Dividend, expected common $ 2.50 Price, preferred $ 104.00 Growth rate 8 % Bond yield 9 % Flotation cost, preferred $ 9.40 Price, common $ 76.00 Calculate the weighted average cost of capital for Digital Processing Inc.
Answer: 8.23%
Explanation:
Firstly, we will calculate the cost of debt which will be:
= Yield (1-Tax rate)
= 9% × (1-0.34)
= 9% × 0.66
= 5.94%
Then, the Cmcost of preferred stock will be:
= 7/(104-9.40)
= 7/(94.6)
= 7.39%
We will also get the value of the cost of equity which will be:
= (Dividend expected common/Price common) + growth rate
= (2.50/76) + 8%
= 3.29% + 8%
= 11.29%
For Debt:
Cost after tax: 5.94
Weight = 50%
Weighted cost = 5.94 × 50% = 2.97
For Preferred stock:
Cost after tax: 7.39
Weight = 1%
Weighted cost = 7.39 × 10% = 0.74
For Common equity
Cost after tax: 11.29
Weight = 40%
Weighted cost = 11.29 × 40% = 4.52
Weighted average cost of capital = 2.97 + 0.74 + 4.52 = 8.23%
Suppose Dina gets a sales bonus at her place of work that gives her an extra $800 of disposable income. She chooses to spend $600 and save the remaining $200. From this, you can tell that Dina's marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is , and her marginal propensity to save (MPS) is . Mathematically, it must always be true that: Disposable Income = Therefore, it must also be true that: 1 =
Answer:
MPC = 0.75
MPS = 0.25
Disposable income = amount spent on consumption + amount saved
Marginal Propensity to Consume + Marginal Propensity to Save = 1
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of disposable income that is spent on consumption
Marginal propensity to consume = amount consumed / disposable income
Marginal propensity to save is the proportion of disposable income that is saved
Marginal propensity to save = amount saved / disposable income
MPC + MPS = 1
Disposable income = amount spent on consumption + amount saved
MPC = 600 / 800 = 0.75
MPS = 200 / 800 = 0.25

Roy Wilton is a CPA who recently made a poor investment. When researching the investment, Roy examined the financial statements of the firm, but did not read the accompanying footnotes, and therefore didn’t comprehend the broader context underlying those financial statements. Which of the following is true with respect to the enhancing qualitative characteristic of understandability in this case?
a. This demonstrates a violation of understandability, given that Roy did not comprehend all relevant information.
b. This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, as Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so.
c. This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, but rather completeness, as Roy’s understanding was incomplete.
d. This demonstrates a violation of understandability, as CPAs should be able to rely on the financial statements alone.
Answer: This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, as Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so
Explanation:
Even though Roy examined the financial statements of the firm, as stated above, he didn't read the accompanying footnotes, and hence, he did not comprehend the underlying context of the financial statements.
Therefore, in this case this doesn't demonstrate a violation of understandability, due to the fact that Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so.
According to concept of understandability in accounting, the information that are given in financial statements must be understandable by the financial statements and users.
The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.65. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $2.8 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 14%, and T-bills currently offer a 6% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
Answer:
a.
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68 times
Explanation:
a.
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of returnWe first need to calculate the values for D0, g and r.
D0 can be calculate by multiplying the earnings per share by (1 - Plowback Ratio)
D0 = 2.8 * (1 - 2/3)
D0 = $0.93333333333 rounded off to $0.93
To calculate the value of g, we need to multiply the ROE by the Plowback ratio.
g = 0.09 * 2/3
g = 0.06 or 6%
To calculate the value of r, we will use the CAPM equation.
r = risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
r = 0.06 + 1.65 * (0.14 - 0.06)
r = 0.192 or 19.2%
P0 = 0.93333333333 * (1+0.06) / (0.192 - 0.06)
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
The P/E ratio can be calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share.
P/E = 7.49494949492 / 2.8
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68
"Situation where you have a personal budget for the year 2021 with Revenues of $20,000 and Expenses of $18,000. On July 1, 2021 two friends come to live with you and pay you $1,000/month in rent. They add $800 a month in expenses. What are your flexible budget expenses for 2021"

Aldo Industries, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage occupied by each department follows.
Human Resources 6,000
Building Maintenance 13,000
Machining 1 8,000
Assembly 26,000
Assuming use of the step-down method, over how many square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated (i.e., spread)?
Answer:
50,000 Square feet
Explanation:
Building maintenance provides more service than human resource and this means the cost of Building maintenance departments would be allocated to all remaining three department including human resource department.
Square feet over which Building Maintenance cost would be allocated = Square Footage of Human Resources + Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly
= 6,000 + 18,000 + 26,000
= 50,000
Alpha Communications, Inc., which produces telecommunications equipment in the United States, has a very strong local market for its circuit board. The variable production cost is $130, and the company can sell its entire supply domestically for $170. The U.S. tax rate is 40 percent. Alternatively, Alpha can ship the circuit board to its division in Germany, to be used in a product that the German division will distribute throughout Europe. Information about the German product and the division’s operating environment follows.
Selling price of final product: $360
Shipping fees to import circuit board: $20
Labor, overhead, and additional material costs of final product: $115
Import duties levied on circuit board (to be paid by the German division): 10% of transfer price
German tax rate: 60%
Assume that U.S. and German tax authorities allow a transfer price for the circuit board set at either U.S. variable manufacturing cost or the U.S. market price. Alpha’s management is in the process of exploring which transfer price is better for the firm as a whole.
Required:
1. Compute overall company profitability per unit if all units are transferred and U.S. variable manufacturing cost is used as the transfer price. Show separate calculations for the U.S. operation and the German division.
2. Repeat requirement (1). assuming the use of the U.S. market price as the transfer price. Which of the two transfer prices is better for the firm?
3. Assume that the German division can obtain the circuit board in Germany for $155.
a. If you were the head of the German division, would you rather do business with your U.S. division or buy the circuit board locally? Why?
b. Rather than proceed with the transfer, is it in the best interest of Alpha to sell its goods domestically and allow the German division to acquire the circuit board in Germany? Why? Show computations to support your answer.
Answer:
1-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. variable manufacturing cost, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $32.80 per circuit board with US Share as $0 and German Share as $32.80.
2-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. market price, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $39.20 per circuit board with US Share as $24 and German Share as $15.20. The transfer price as US market price is more effective for the Alpha Communications.
3:a- If the German division can obtain the boards in Germany for 155, it is better for the German division because due to lack of additional shipping fee and import duty, this price is more feasible for the German division.

Answer: d. supply at different prices after the entry and exit of firms is completed.
Explanation:
The industry supply curve simply shows the relationship that exist between the price at which a good is sold and the industry's total output.
The long-run industry supply curve simply refers to the graphic representation of the quantity of output that the industry is prepared to supply at different prices after the entry and exit of firms has been completed.
At the long-run industry supply curve, it depicts the locus of price and the output produced in that industry as each firm aims to maximize profit.
A firm has the following account balances for this year. Sales for the year are $500,000. Projected sales for next year are $545,000. The percentage of sales approach is used for pro forma purposes. All balance sheet accounts, except long-term debt and common stock, change according to that approach. The firm plans to decrease the long-term debt balance by $5,000 next year. Retained earnings is expected to increase by $3,500 next year. What is the projected external financing need?
a) $10,520
b) $14,720
c) $18,520
d) $20,720
e) $25,620
Answer:
b) $14,720
Explanation:
Note: The missing words are attached below for understanding
Determining the increase in the sales:
Percentage increase in sales = (New sales - Old sales) / Old sales
= ($545,000 - $500,000) / $500,000
= 9%
Determining the new balances of assets and liabilities:
Current assets = $48,000*109% = $52,320
Fixed assets = 158000*109% = $172,220
Total assets = $52,320 + $172,220 = $224,540
Financed by:
The current liabilities = $48000*109% = $52,320
Long-term debt = $83,000 - $5,000 = $78,000
Common stock = $36,000
Retained earnings = $40,000 + $3,500 = $43,500
Total liabilities & the equity = $52,320 + $78,000 + $36,000 + $43,500 = $209,820
External financing needed = Total assets - Total liabilities and equity
External financing needed = $224,540 - $209,820
External financing needed = $14,720
