Answer:
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
Explanation:
A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.
This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.
For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.
So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.
A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable $ 378,000 debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 530 credit Net Sales 830,000 credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 0.6% of net credit sales are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Answer:
$1,738
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Using this formula
Bad Debts Expense=[(Accounts receivable*Estimated uncollectible net credit sales)-Allowance for uncollectible accounts]
Let plug in the formula
Bad Debts Expense=[($378,000*0.6%)-$530]
Bad Debts Expense=$2,268-$530
Bad Debts Expense=$1,738
Therefore the amount that should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared is $1,738
Ace Leasing acquires equipment and leases it to customers under long-term sales-type leases. Ace earns interest under these arrangements at a 6% annual rate. Ace leased a machine it purchased for $790,000 under an arrangement that specified annual payments beginning at the commencement of the lease for five years. The lessee had the option to purchase the machine at the end of the lease term for $200,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $350,000. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Calculate the amount of the annual lease payments. (Enter amounts as positive values rounded to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
$143,750
Explanation:
We have to first calculate the present value of the bargain purchase option:
PV = $200,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵ = $149,451.63
net lease amount = $790,000 - $149,452 = $640,548
PVIF Annuity due, 6%, 5 payments = 4.546
Annual payment = $640,548 / 4.456 = $143,750
Illumination Corporation operates one central plant that has two divisions, the Flashlight Division and the Night Light Division. The following data apply to the coming budget year: Budgeted costs of operating the plant for 2000 to 3000 hours: Fixed operating costs per year $480,000 Variable operating costs $800 per hour Budgeted long-run usage per year: Flashlight Division 1500 hours Night Light Division 700 hours Practical capacity 3000 hours Assume that practical capacity is used to calculate the allocation rates. Actual usage for the year by the Flashlight Division was 1400 hours and by the Night Light Division was 600 hours. If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of operating costs will be allocated to the Night Light Division
Answer:
Allocated operating costs= $576,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined operating costs allocation rate:
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= total estimated operating costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= (480,000 / 3,000) + 800
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= $960 per hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Night Light Division:
Allocated operating costs= Predetermined operating costs allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated operating costs= 960*600
Allocated operating costs= $576,000

All materials are added at the start of production. Refer to Keyser Corporation. Assume that the cost per EUP for material and conversion are $1.75 and $4.55, respectively. What is the cost assigned to ending Work in Process
Answer:
The cost assigned to ending Work in Process explanations only.
Explanation:
Hi your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but I could not find it.
Here are some explanations and steps you need to consider to answer this question.
The cost assigned to ending Work in Process :
Ending Work in Process usually have different number of equivalent units of production with respect to materials and conversion cost depending on the percentage of work completed for materials and conversion during the production process.
Step 1
So the first step is to calculate the equivalent units of production of Ending Ending work in process for Materials and Conversion costs.
Equivalent units of production = Physical units x Percentage completion (Materials / Conversion).
Step 2
The next step would be to calculate the cost assigned to ending Work in Process.
Equivalent units in materials are multiplied against Cost per Equivalent Unit) EUP for materials ($1.75 ) so is the Equivalent units in conversion costs against Cost per Equivalent Unit) EUP for conversion ($1.75). The total of the two amounts is the cost assigned to ending Work in Process.
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.
Swifty Company's financial information is presented below. Sales Revenue $ p?Cost of Goods Sold 536000 Sales Returns and Allowances 37000 Gross Profit p?Net Sales 868000 The missing amounts above are: Sales Revenue Gross Profit a. $905000 $332,000 b. $832,000 $332,000 c. $ 905,000 $416,000 d. $832,000 $416,000
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
The gross profit is calculated by deducting from net sales the cost of goods sold:
Gross profit= net sales - COGS
Gross profit= 868,000 - 536,000
Gross profit= $332,000
Now, the sales revenues are the sales before returns and allowances. Therefore, we need to add them to the net sales:
Sales revenue= 868,000 + 37,000
Sales revenues= $905,000

Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot.com merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot.com clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, whiclh pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. In the most recent month, 160,000 items were shipped to customers using 6,500 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $20,800 in variable overhead costs.
According to the company's standards, 0.03 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.25 per direct labor-hour
Required:
1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 160,000 items to customers?
2. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH x SR) to ship 160,000 items to customers?
3. What is the variable overhead spending variance?
4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance?
(For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do no round intermediate calculations.)
1. Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed
2. Standard variable overhead cost allowed
3. Variable overhead spending variance
4. Variable overhead rate variance
Variable overhead efficiency variance
Answer:
1. Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed 4,800
2. Standard variable overhead cost allowed $15,600
3. Variable overhead spending variance 5,200 U
4. Variable overhead rate variance 325 F
5.Variable overhead efficiency variance 5,525 U
Explanation:
1. Calculation for Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed
Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed = 160,000*0.03
Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed= 4,800
Therefore Standard quantity of labor-hours allowed is 4,800
2. Calculatuon for Standard variable overhead cost allowed
Standard variable overhead cost allowed= 4,800*$3.25
Standard variable overhead cost allowed = $15,600
Therefore the Standard variable overhead cost allowed is $15,600
3. Calculation for Variable overhead spending variance
Variable overhead spending variance = $15,600 - $20,800
Variable overhead spending variance = 5,200 U
Therefore the Variable overhead spending variance is 5,200 U
4. Calculation for Variable overhead rate variance
Variable overhead rate variance= ($3.25 - $20,800/6,500)*6,500
Variable overhead rate variance=($3.25-$3.2)*6,500
Variable overhead rate variance= 325 F
Therefore The Variable overhead rate variance= 325 F
5. Calculation for Variable overhead efficiency variance
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (4,800-6,500)*3.25
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 1,700*3.25
Variable overhead efficiency variance= 5,525
Therefore the Variable overhead efficiency variance is 5,525 U

American Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $57 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $81 per gallon. American expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,100 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $162,000. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if American produces the new compound variant
Answer:
Effect on income= $32,400 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Difference in selling price= 81 - 57= $24
Number of units= 8,100
Increase in costs= $162,000
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= Increase in revenue - increase in costs
Effect on income= 24*8,100 - 162,000
Effect on income= $32,400 increase

Decide whether each of the following is frictional, structural, or cyclical unemployment:
a. The economy gets worse, so General Motors shuts down a factory for four months, laying off workers. cyclical structural frictional
b. General Motors lays off 5,000 workers and replaces them with robots. The workers start looking for jobs outside the auto industry. cyclical structural frictional
c. About 10 workers per month at a General Motors plant quit their jobs because they want to live in another town. They start searching for work in the new town.
Answer and Explanation:
The classification is as follows:
a. Cyclical unemployment
Since the economy got worse and the factory would be shut down for 4 months so this represent that the economy would go into recession
b. Structural unemployment
As General motors would lays off 5,000 workes and wants to subsitute with robots so here there is a mismatch of the skills & characteristics according to the job requirements
c. Frictional unemployment
Frictional unemployment is classify as a short-term unemployment that occurred for matching the workers with the available jobs
A stock index currently stands at 280. The risk-free interest rate is 10% per annum (with semiannual compounding) and the dividend yield on the index is 5% per annum (continuously compounded). The futures price for a six-month contract is closest to the which of following value:________
a. $235.07
b. $287.09
c. $277.11
d. $340.21
Answer:
b. $287.09
Explanation:
The computation of the future price of a six month contract is shown below;
Given that
Current stock index = 280
Risk free rate = 10% or 0.10
Dividend yield = 5% or 0.05
Periods (n) = 6 months or 0.5 year
now
Futures price = Current stock index × e^(risk free rate - dividend yield) × n
= 280 × e^(0.10 - 0.05) × 0.5
= 280 × e^(0.05) × 0.5
= 280 × e^(0.025)
= 280 × 1.025315
= $287.09

Your family business produces a secret recipe salsa and distributes it through both smaller specialty stores and chain supermarkets. The chains have been demanding sizable discounts but you do not want to drop your prices to the specialty stores. When can you legally accommodate the chains without losing profits from the specialty stores
Answer:
We can make the chain supermarkets buy goods in bulk.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the chain supermarkets have been demanding heavy discounts on goods that you are selling to them.
Also you do not want the eventual price to the speciality stores to drop.
The solution will be to sell products in bulk to the chain supermarkets. This will meet their demand for larger discounts as price per unit of product will be lower with bulk purchase.
Then the speciality stores can still buy in small quantities for higher price.
This will accommodate the requirements from both stores.

How does risk influence the rate of interest?
Answer:
Interest rate risk directly affects the values of fixed income securities. Since interest rates and bond prices are inversely related, the risk associated with a rise in interest rates causes bond prices to fall and vice versa. Interest rate risk affects the prices of bonds, and all bondholders face this type of risk.

Splish Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 650 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 310 $34 $ 10,540 April 15 purchase 420 41 17,220 April 23 purchase 270 44 11,880 1,000 $39,640 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO method as follows:
Given that
Total goods available for sale = 1000
Units sold = 650
Based on the above information
The Ending inventory is
= 1000 - 650
= 350
Now 350 units comprise of 270 units of April 23 and the remaining 80 units would be of April 15
SO,
Ending inventory value is
= 270 × 44 + 80 × 41
= $15,160
ANd,
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory
= $39,640 - $15,160
= $24,480

Calculation of Variable operating expenses
Segment contribution margin $540,000
Less Profit margin controllable by the segment manager ($310,000)
Variable operating expenses $230,000
You are the VP of Marketing at Stauffer Foods and you learn that the puddings packaged desserts line from General Foods (GF) is available for acquisition. This division produces successful products like Pudding Pops, Instant Pudding, and Pudding in a Cup. You make some of assumptions about this line. Which assumption would you not make
Answer: purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
Explanation:
The options include:
a. purchasing the line would bring established distribution for Stauffer Foods.
b. purchasing the line would add equity value to Stauffer Foods.
c. All would be reasonable assumptions to make.
d. purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
e. purchasing the line could create some difficulties in dealing with debt load.
The assumption that shouldn't be made is that purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods.
When a product is acquired, one should not expect immediate profit or cash flow instantly. Purchasing the line would not bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods because it's a gradual process even though there may eventually be cash flow and profit in the long run.
All the other options that re given are correct, therefore the correct option is D.

4. Between January 2012 and January 2019, U.S. employment
increased by 17.3 million workers, but the number of
unemployed workers declined by only 6.3 million. How are
these numbers consistent with each other? Why might one
expect a reduction in the number of people counted as
unemployed to be smaller than the increase in the number of
people employed?
Answer:
The fact that employment increased by 12.1 million workers while unemployment declined by only 7.3 million is consistent with the growth of the labor force by 4.8 million.
Explanation:
The fact that employment increased by 12.1 million workers while unemployment declined by only 7.3 million is consistent with the growth of the labor force by 4.8 million. One might expect a reduction in the number of people counted as unemployed to be smaller than the increase in the number of people employed because the labor force constantly increases as the population grows, and as the labor-force participation rate increases, the increase in employed might exceed the reduction in the number of unemployed.

Employment increased by 12.1 million workers while unemployment decreased by only 7.3 million, corresponding to a 4.8 million increase in the labor force. One might expect a decrease in the number of unemployed people to be smaller than an increase in the number of employed people because the labor force is constantly increasing as the population grows.
