Seasons Construction is constructing an office building under contract for Cannon Company and uses the percentage-of-completion method. The contract calls for progress billings and payments of $1,550,000 each quarter. The total contract price is $18,600,000 and Seasons estimates total costs of $17,750,000. Seasons estimates that the building will take 3 years to complete, and commences construction on January 2, 2018.At December 31, 2018, Seasons estimates that it is 30% complete with the construction, based on costs incurred. What is the total amount of Revenue and Profit from Long-Term Contracts recognized for 2018?
Answer:
The correct answer is "$5,580,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Total contract price,
= $18,600,000
Completion percentage,
= 30%
Seasons estimates,
= $17,750,000
Now,
In 2018,
The total amount of revenue will be:
= [tex]Total \ contract \ price\times Completion \ percentage[/tex]
On substituting the given values, we get
= [tex]18,600,000\times 30 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]5,580,000[/tex] ($)

Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. First and foremost, we have to get the total cost equations which will be:
Total cost (A) = 1200000 + 3Q
Total Cost (B) = 220000 + 13Q
Total Cost (C) = 580000 + 7Q
To get the range of forecasted volumes where process C is optimal, we have to get the cross-over point between A, B and C which goes thus:
Between A and C will be:
= (1200000 - 580000)/(7 - 3)
= 620000/4
= 155,000
Between B and C will be:
= (220000 - 580000)/(7 - 13)
= 360,000 / 6
= 60,000
Therefore, the range of the forecasted volumes where process C is optimal will be [60000, 155000]
(b) The point of indifference between A and B will be the difference in their fixed cost divided by the difference in their variable cost which will be:
= (1200000 - 220000)/(13 - 3)
= 980,000 / 10
= 98,000
(c) The price for each unit will be:
30,000 = 1200,000 / (Selling price - 3)
Selling price - 3 = 1200,000 / 30,000
Selling price - 3 = 40
Selling price = 40 + 3
Selling price = $43

On January 1, Year 1, Justo purchases 30,000 shares of the 100,000 outstanding shares of stock in Bonita Corp. for $5 per share. During the year, Bonita Corporation has $20,000 of net income and pays $4,000 in dividends. On December 31, Year 1, the value of a share of Bonita Corporation stock is $6 per share. Assuming Justo elects the fair value option to account for its investment in Bonita, what is the amount recorded as Investment in Bonita on the December 31, Year 1, balance sheet
Answer:
$180,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount recorded as investment on the Dec 31, year 1 as follows
As the investment should be recorded at the fair value i.e.
= 30,000 shares × $6
= $180,000
Plus the amount of $30,000 that represent the unrealized gain would be recorded as the earnings for the given period
There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why the statistic is preferred.
Question Completion:
a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.
b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.
c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
Answer:
The GDP Deflator and the CPI
a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.
b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here. Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.
c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation. Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP. On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.
On January 1, year 2, Connor Corporation signed a $100,000 noninterest-bearing note due in three years at a discount rate of 10%. Connor elects to use the fair value option for reporting its financial liabilities. On December 31, year 2, Connor's credit rating and risk factors indicated that the rate of interest applicable to its borrowings was 9%. The present value factors at 10% and 9% are presented below.
PV factor .751 10%, 3 periods
PV factor .826 10%, 2 periods
PV factor .909 10%, 1 periods
PV factor .772 9%, 3 periods
PV factor .842 9%, 2 periods
PV factor .917 9%, 1 periods
At what amount should Connor present the note on the December 31, year 2 balance sheet?
Answer:
the amount that should present the note in year 2 is $84,200
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should present the note in year 2 is shown below:
= Amount of non-interest bearing note × present value factor for 2 years at 9%
= $100,000 × 0.842
= $84,200
hence, the amount that should present the note in year 2 is $84,200

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Milling Department
Cost of production:
Materials Conversion Total Cost
Beginning work in process inventory $ 10,000 $ 15,000 $ 25,000
Costs added during the period 291,600 385,000 676,600
Total cost $ 301,600 $ 400,000 $ 701,600
Equivalent units of production 5,200 5,000
Cost per equivalent unit $58 $80
Cost Assignment:
Units completed and transferred out:
Materials = $270,280 (4,660 * $58)
Conversion 372,800 *4,660 * $80)
Total costs $643,080
Therefore, the costs assigned to ending work in process = $ 58,520 ($701,600 - 643,080)
A foundry is developing a long-range strategic plan for buying scrap metal for its operations. The foundrycan buy scrap metal in unlimited quantity from two sources: Atlanta and Birmingham, and it receives thescrap daily by railroad cars.The scrap is melted down, and lead and copper are extracted. Each railroad car from Atlanta yields 1 ton ofcopper and 1 ton of lead, and costs $10,000. Each railroad car from Birmingham yields 1 ton of copper and2 tons of lead, and costs $15,000. The foundry needs at least 4 tons of lead and at least 2.5 tons of copperper day for the foreseeable future.1. In order to minimize the long-range scrap metal cost, how many raiload cars of scrap should bepurchased per day from each source
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of railroad cars of scrap purchased per day from Atlanta and let y represent the number of railroad cars of scrap purchased per day from Birmingham.
Since Atlanta yields 1 ton of copper and 1 ton of lead while Birmingham yields 1 ton of copper and 2 tons of lead.
The foundry needs at least 2.5 tons of copper per day. Hence:
x + y ≥ 2.5 (1)
The foundry needs at least 4 tons of lead per day. Hence:
x + 2y ≥ 4 (2)
Plotting equations 1 and 2 using geogebra online graphing tool, we get the points that is the solution to the problem as:
(0, 2.5), (4, 0), (1, 1.5)
Car from Atlanta cost $10000 while car from Birmingham costs $15000. Therefore the cost equation is:
Cost = 10000x + 15000y
We are to find the minimum cost:
At (0, 2.5): Cost = 10000(0) + 15000(2.5) = $37500
At (4, 0): Cost = 10000(4) + 15000(0) = $40000
At (1, 1.5): Cost = 10000(1) + 15000(1.5) = $32500
The minimum cost is at (1, 1.5).

A.
paying interest
B.
giving loans
C.
employee salaries
D.
maintaining reserves
the answer is D
Answer:
B. giving loans

On the same day that the sales department at Duffin House received an order for 500 packages from the OHaganBooks Texas headquarters, it received an additional order for 150 packages from FantasyBooks, based in California. Duffin House has warehouses in New York and Illinois. The New York warehouse has 500 packages in stock, but the Illinois warehouse is closing down and has only 250 packages in stock. Shipping costs per package of books are as follows: New York to Texas: $20; New York to California: $50; Illinois to Texas: $30; Illinois to California: $40. What is the lowest total shipping cost for which Duffin House can fill the orders
Answer:
Duffin House
The lowest total shipping cost for which Duffin House can fill the orders is:
= $16,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Orders received from OHaganBooks, Texas = 500 packages
Orders received from FantasyBooks, California = 150 packages
No. of packages in stock at New York Warehouse = 500
No. of packages in stock at Illinois Warehouse = 250
Shipping cost:
New York to Texas: $20;
New York to California: $50;
Illinois to Texas: $30;
Illinois to California: $40
Lowest shipping cost arrangement:
500 packages from New York to Texas at $20 = $10,000
150 packages from Illinois to California at $40 = $6,000
Total shipping cost = $16,000
Other shipping cost arrangement:
150 packages from New York to California at $50 = $7,500
350 packages from New York to Texas at $20 = $7,000
150 packages from Illinois to Texas at $30 = $4,500
Total shipping cost under this arrangement = $19,000
b) The key in making this shipping arrangement is to identify the lowest shipping cost per package. The order that attracts this shipping cost is taken first. Then identify the next lowest shipping cost that is feasible and have the order fulfilled accordingly.

Answer:
Currency, in industrialized nations, portion of the national money supply, consisting of bank notes and government-issued paper money and coins, that does not require endorsement in serving as a medium of exchange; among less developed societies, currency encompasses a wide diversity of items (e.g., livestock, stone carvings, tobacco) used as exchange media as well as signs of value or wealth. In the developed nations, where checks drawn on demand deposits are an important means of transaction, currency may actually account for only a small portion of the total money supply
Explanation:
Since the abandonment of the gold standard in the 1930s, governments have not been obligated to repay the holders of currency in any form of precious metal. Consequently the volume of currency is determined by the actions of the government or central bank and not by the supply of precious metals.

What is the value of a building that is expected to generate fixed annual cash flows of $13,800 every year for a certain amount of time if the first annual cash flow is expected in 3 years from today and the last annual cash flow is expected in 8 years from today and the appropriate discount rate is 6.8 percent
Answer:
the present value is $58,026
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the building is shown below
Present value = Cash flows × Present value of discounting factor( interest rate%,time period)
= $13,800 ÷ 1.068^3 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^4 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^5 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^6 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^7 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^8
= $58,026
Hence, the present value is $58,026
A company purchased a new delivery van at a cost of $46,000 on July 1. The delivery van is estimated to have a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $3,400. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. How much depreciation expense will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31?
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense that will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31 is $5,325.
Explanation:
Since the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation, the annual depreciation expenses can first be calculated using the following formula:
Annual depreciation expense = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) / Useful life ............ (1)
Where;
Cost of the asset = $46,000
Salvage value = $3,400
Useful life = 4
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Annual depreciation expense = ($46,000 - $3,400) / 4
Annual depreciation expense = $10,650
Since July 1 to December 31 is just half of the year, the amount of depreciation expense that will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31 is the halve of the annual depreciation expense that can be calculated as follows:
Depreciation expense to be recorded = Annual depreciation expense / 2 = $10,650 / 2 = $5,325
Compute the charitable contribution deduction (ignoring the percentage limitation) for each of the following C corporations. a. Amber Corporation donated inventory of clothing (basis of $24,000, fair market value of $30,000) to a qualified charitable organization that operates homeless shelters. $fill in the blank 9a9067069fa000e_1
Answer:
$27,000
Explanation:
Computation for the charitable contribution deduction
Using this formula
Charitable contribution deduction = (Adjusted basis )+[ 50% (Fair Value – Adjusted Basis)]
Let plug in the formula
Charitable contribution deduction= 24,000 + [50% (30,000 – 24,000)]
Charitable contribution deduction= 24,000+ (50%*6,000)
Charitable contribution deduction= 24,000+3,0000
Charitable contribution deduction = 27,000
Therefore the charitable contribution deduction will be $27,000
Caleb Co. owns a machine that had cost $44,400 with accumulated depreciation of $19,400. Caleb exchanges the machine for a newer model that has a market value of $55,000. 1. Record the exchange assuming Caleb paid $31,000 cash and the exchange has commercial substance. 2. Record the exchange assuming Caleb paid $23,000 cash and the exchange has commercial substance.
Answer:
Part 1
Debit :New Machine $55,000
Debit : Profit and Loss $39,400
Credit: Accumulated Depreciation: Old Machine $19,400
Credit :Cost: Old Machine $44,400
Credit : Cash $31,000
Part 2
Debit :New Machine $55,000
Debit : Profit and Loss $31,400
Credit: Accumulated Depreciation: Old Machine $19,400
Credit :Cost: Old Machine $44,400
Credit : Cash $23,000
Explanation:
The Standard on Property, Plant and Equipment States that :
"When exchange has commercial substance, Cost Price of item Acquired is measured at Fair Value.
When Fair Values of both assets acquired and given up can be determined reliably, the Fair Value of Asset given up will be used.
Unless the Fair Value of the Asset acquired is more evident, that Value may be used"
From this, we have on Fair Value of Asset Acquired, so we use that as the Cost of the New Asset. Cost of New Asset in Both Cases will be $55,000.
Recognize the New Cost of Asset, Derecognize the Cash Paid, Derecognize Cost of Old Asset and Accumulated Depreciation in a journal to find the Profit or loss resulting from the exchange as above.
