Answer:
$207,500
$155,625
$116,719
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/8 = 1/4
1 = $830,000 / 4 = 207,500
book value $830,000 - 207,500 = 622,500
2 = 622,500 / 4 = 155,625
book value = 622,500 - 155,625 = 466875
3 466875 / 4 = 116,718.75 = 116,719
Equipment was purchased for $151000. Freight charges amounted to $6000 and there was a cost of $14000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $36000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Depreciation Expense each year using the straight-line method will be
Answer: $27000
Explanation:
The formula for straight line depreciation will be:
= (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / Useful life of asset
Cost of asset = $151000 + $6000 + $14000 = $171000
Straight line Depreciation = ($171000 - $36000) / 5
= $135000/5
= $27000
Andy contracts with Susan to feed his dog while he is Europe during the month of July. Andy calls and revokes on July 1st after Susan has gone out and purchased the necessary products to perform but has not yet feed the dog once. A court will likely:
Answer: D. Enforce the contract.
Explanation:
This falls under the doctrine of Promissory estoppel. This posits that when a party to a contract has invested their money into procuring the necessary tools to fulfil their part of the contract, the other party may not cancel the contract unless they pay the former party what they would have made from the contract.
This is because the party that used their money to procure tools (Susan in this case) would not have done so if the other party (Andy) had not made a promise to them in the contract that they would fulfil their part of the bargain.
The Courts would therefore enforce the contract.

Explanation:
The computation of the minimum transfer price that the Lumber Division could accept is shown below:
= Variable production cost per bd. ft. + Variable selling cost per bd. ft.
= $1.25 + $0.50
= $1.40
Hence, the minimum transfer price that the Lumber Division could accept is $1.40
Therefore the option b is correct
The minimum transfer price that the Lumber Division could accept is $1.40.
What is transfer price?Transfer pricing is the method in which the product is sold out bey one subsidiary to another but within the company.
This method is used when the subsidiaries of a parent company are measured as separate earnings essences.
The computation of the minimum transfer price:
The minimum transfer price is found out by apply the formula:
[tex]\text{Minimum Transfer Price}= \text{Variable Production Cost per bd. ft.}-\text{Variable Selling Cost per bd. }[/tex]
According to the given case,
Variable production cost per bd. ft. = $1.25,
Variable selling cost per bd. ft. = $0.50.
Now apply the values in the above formula, we get:
[tex]\text{Minimum Transfer Price}= \text{Variable Production Cost per bd. ft.}-\text{Variable Selling Cost per bd. }\\\\\text{Minimum Transfer Price}= \$1.25 + \$0.50\\\\\text{Minimum Transfer Price}=\$1.40[/tex]
Therefore, the minimum transfer price that the Lumber Division to accept is $1.40. So, option D is correct.

Question Completion with Options:
i. Line Organisation
ii. Staff Organisation
iii. Functional Organisation
iv. Committee Organisation Code
Answer:
The option that is not a standard organizational structure is:
iv. Committee Organisation Code
Explanation:
The organizational structure adopted by an entity reflects how some of its rules, roles, and responsibilities are directed between organizational levels in order to achieve its goals. The organizational structure also shows the information flows between different levels within the entity. Traditionally, organizations maintained hierarchical, functional, divisional, matrix, and flat organizational structures. Given current digitalization with its internet of things (IoT), more decentralized, network, and team-based organizational structures have emerged.
A farmer needs to borrow $1,000. The local PCA will make a 2-year loan fully amortized at 10% (annual rate) with quarterly payments. A $10 loan fee and stock purchase is required. The borrower stock requirement is the lesser of $1,000 or 2% of loan principal. Assume that sufficient money is borrowed to cover the $1,000, the fee and the stock requirement. Also assume that the stock requirement is returned to borrower when the loan is paid off and the last debt payment can be reduced by the stock amount. How much money needs to be borrowed
Answer:
the amount required to be borrowed is $1,030.60
Explanation:
The computation of the amount required to be borrowed is given below:
= (Sufficient money + loan fee) ÷ (1 - given percentage)
= ($1,000 + $10) ÷(1 - 0.02)
= $1,030.60
Hence, the amount required to be borrowed is $1,030.60
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could comes and the same should be relevant

Assume a firm generates $2,500 in sales, has a $800 increase in accounts receivable and has a $500 increase in accounts payable during an accounting period. Based solely on this information, cash flow from operations will increase by:
Answer:
Cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.
Explanation:
The amount of increase in cash flow from operations can be calculated as follows:
Increase in cash flow from operations = Sales - Increase in accounts receivable + Increase in accounts payable …………… (1)
Sales = $2,500
Increase in accounts receivable = $800
Increase in accounts payable = $500
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Increase in cash flow from operations = $2,500 - $800 + $500 = $2,200
Therefore, cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.

Unearned Revenue: The company collected $24,000 rent in advance on September 1,
debiting Cash and crediting Unearned Rent Revenue. The tenant was paying 12
months' rent in advance and occupancy began September 1. Answer the four questions
below as of 12/31. Whenever you see the word "unearned," it always indicates a liability
account. Most liability accounts include the word "payable," as those liabilities will be
paid back. An unearned account is a liability that will be worked off, rather than paid
off.
1. The beginning balance of Unearned Revenue: (5 pts)
Answer:
Time period from September 1 - December 31 is 4 months and this means that the tenant has occupied the place for 4 months. Hence, 4 months rent would be accrued.
12 Month rent amount = $24,000
Per month rent amount = $240,00/12 month = $2,000

Which of the following is an example of a mixed cost?
a. electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour
b. salary of a factory supervisor
c. rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use
d. straight-line depreciation on factory equipment
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Mixed cost is a cost that consists of both fixed cost and variable cost
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e.g., rent, mortgage payments, depreciation
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
An example of variable cost is electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour. If the factory is locked down, no electricity cost would be incurred.
The rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use consists of both a fixed cost and a variable cost
the fixed cost is 10,000
the variable cost is $0.30 per machine hour

Model of media richness
Answer:
Media richness theory states that all communication media vary in their ability to enable users to communicate and to change understanding. ... A primary driver in selecting a communication medium for a particular message is to reduce the equivocality, or possible misinterpretations, of a message.
Answer:
The term "media wealth" was described in 1986 by Richard Daft and Robert Lengel for the first time in the context of the media wealth theory. Media wealth describes the learning density that can be transmitted by a specific communication medium.
Explanation:
Before the growth of electronic communication media, MRT was developed to help managers decide which medium was best suited to communicate a message in business situations.
Rich media, such as conversations and phone calls, were best considered to be not-routine messages, while lean media were considered acceptable to routine messages like unaddressed memoranda.
The media wealth has been extended in the past two decades to cover the strengths and weaknesses of new media – from email to websites, video lectures, voice men, and immediate messages.
In media-rich contexts, humans evolved. Facial communication was the only way to communicate for hundreds of thousands of years living in stable, close-knit social groups. The concept of media choice did not exist until about 5,000 years ago, because it was not one-to-one or nothing apart from smoke signals.
The Cullumber Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $65 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,000 per month
Utilities $1,000 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $1,508 per month
Maid service $13 per room
Other costs $26 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
a. Breakeven point in number of rented rooms:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Fixed cost = Salaries per month + Utilities + Depreciation + Maintenance
= 7,000 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 1,508
= $10,608
Contribution margin:
= Rent price - Maid service - Other costs
= 65 - 13 - 26
= $26
Breakeven point in rented rooms:
= 10,608 / 26
= 408 rooms
b. Breakeven point in dollars:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
= 10,608 / (26 / 65)
= 10,608 / 40%
= $26,520
Calculating the Direct Materials Price Variance and the Direct Materials Usage Variance Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company is a service company that offers oil changes and lubrication for automobiles and light trucks. On average, Guillermo has found that a typical oil change takes 24 minutes and 6.2 quarts of oil are used. In June, Guillermo's Oil and Lube had 980 oil changes. Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company provided the following information for the production of oil changes during the month of June:
Actual number of oil changes performed: 980
Actual number of quarts of oil used: 6,020 quarts
Actual price paid per quart of oil: $5.10
Standard price per quart of oil: $5.05
Required:
a. Calculate the direct materials price variance (MPV) and the direct materials usage variance (MUV) for June using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the total direct materials variance for oil for June.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5.05 - 5.1)*6,020
Direct material price variance= $301 unfavorable
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6,076 - 6,020)*5.05
Direct material quantity variance= $282.8 favorable
Standard quantity= 980*6.2= 6,076
Finally, the total direct material variance:
Total direct material variance= Direct material quantity variance - Direct material price variance
Total direct material variance= 282.8 - 301
Total direct material variance= $18.2 unfavorable

Seacoast Magazine should record revenue whe
Answer:
a. It should record revenue on a monthly basis
The Revenue Recognition principle in accounting posits that revenue should only be recognized after the goods and services that the revenue was paid for, have been delivered.
Seacoast Magazine has not delivered the magazine and will do so monthly for 18 months. It should therefore apportion profits to those months and only recognize the profit after the magazines are delivered.
b. Amount of revenue for 8 issues:
= 36/ 18 issues * 8 issues
= 2 * 8
= $16

A corporation issues for cash $1,000,000 of 8%, 20-year bonds, interest payable annually, at a time when the market rate of interest is 10%. The straight-line method is adopted for the amortization of bond discount or premium. Which of the following statements is true?
a. The amount of the annual interest expense is computed at 8% of the bond carrying amount at the beginning of the year.
b. The amount of the annual interest expense gradually decreases over the life of the bonds.
c. The amount of unamortized discount decreases from its balance at issuance date to a zero balance at maturity.
d. The amount of unamortized premium decreases from its balance at issuance date to a zero balance at maturity.
Answer:
d.The unamortized discount decreases from its balance at issuance date to a zero balance at maturity
Explanation:
The amount of annual interest is the carrying amount at the beginning of each year multiplied by the market rate of interest of 10%(not the discount rate of 8%)
Also, a bond whose market interest rate is higher than the coupon rate would be issued at a discount(not at a premium, let alone having an unamortized premium)
