Answer:
Retained Earnings decreases by $84,000
There would be a no effect in the Additional Paid-in Capital
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the retained eaning would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Cash $294,000
Retained earnings $84,000
Treasury stock $378,0000
Retained Earnings decreases by $84,000
Cash= 21,000 shares*14=$294,000
Retained earnings=21,000 shares*(18-14) =$84,000
Treasury stock=21,000 shares*18=$378,0000
There would be a no effect in the Additional Paid-in Capital
So Retained Earnings decreases by $84,000
Pollution Busters Inc. is considering a purchase of 10 additional carbon sequesters for $120,000 apiece. The sequesters last for only 1 year before becoming saturated. Then the carbon is sold to the government. a. Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is $140,400 for sure. How would you determine the opportunity cost of capital for this investment? b-1. Suppose instead that the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange. Carbon prices have been extremely volatile, but Pollution Busters’ CFO learns that average rates of return from investments on that exchange have been about 22%. She thinks this is a reasonable forecast for the future. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case? b-2. If the expected return on the investment is still 17%, but instead depends on the price of carbon (so that it is no longer risk-free), then is the purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm?
Answer:
(a) 17% (b) the purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm is worthwhile investment if no other similar project offers a higher return of over 17%, which in this case here is 17%.
Explanation:
Solution:
(a) Calculate the opportunity cost of capital
Opportunity cost of capital = pay off at one year/Current investment
= $140,400-$120,000/$120,000
=20,400/120,000 = 0.17 or 17%
What it means is that, the project offers a guarantee of 17% return. it should be accepted unless another project offers a higher return of over 17%
(b) The opportunity cost of capital, if the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange which is simply the average rate of return of investment.
Therefore the opportunity cost per capital in this case is 22%
The purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm is worthwhile investment if no other similar project offers a higher return of over 17%, which in this case here is 17%.
The 12/31/2018 balance sheet of Despot Inc. included the following: Common stock, 25 million shares at $20 par $ 500 million Paid-in capital—excess of par 3,000 million Retained earnings 980 million In January 2018, Despot recorded a transaction with this journal entry: Cash 150 million Common stock 100 million Paid-in capital—excess of par 50 million In February 2018, Despot declared cash dividends of $12 million to be paid in April of that year. What effect did the April transaction have on Despot's accounts? Decreased assets and liabilities. Increased liabilities and decreased shareholders' equity. Decreased assets and shareholders' equity. None of these answer choices are correct
Answer: Decreased assets and liabilities.
Explanation:
Both assets and Liabilities decrease as a result of the April transaction because first, Cash is used to pay the Dividend which reduces the cash account and Cash is an Asset.
Liabilities also decrease because when the dividends were declared in February, Despot Inc had to create a liability in their books to cater for the payment of the dividends. Now that the dividends have been paid, that figure will be removed therefore reducing Liabilities.
Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 18,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 3.90 Direct labor $ 8.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 9.00 Supervisor's salary $ 4.40 Depreciation of special equipment $ 2.80 Allocated general overhead $ 8.00 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $28.70 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $30,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be: g
Answer:
$22,200 disadvantage
Explanation:
The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage of buying part from the outside supplier is shown below:
= Avoidable making cost - buying cost + additional segment margin
where,
Avoidable Making cost is
= ($3.90 + $8.50 + $9 + $4.4) × 18,000
= $464,400
Buying cost is
= $28.7 × 18,000
= $516,600
And the additional segment is $30,000 per year
So, the financial advantage or disadvantage is
= $464,400 - $516,600 + $30,000
= $22,200 disadvantage
We simply applied the above formula

(Hint: cash flow stream is a set of yearly cash flows for purchasing, using, and selling this robot).
Assuming an interest rate of 10%
Note this was added by the tutor
Equivalent annual cost = $2646.41
Explanation:
The cash flow stream = Present value of cost / Annuity factor
PV of cost
PV of salvage value = 8,000× 1.1^(-4) =5464.107
PV of operating cost = 2000 × (1- 1.1^-4)/0.1 )= 6339.730
PV of overhaul costing = 10,000 × 1.1^(-3) = 7513.148
Present value (PV) of total cost:
= 6339.73 + 7513.148- 5464.10=8388.77
Annuity factor for 4 years at 10% = 3.1698
Cash flow stream = 8388.771 /3.1698
=$ 2,646.41
Equivalent annual cost = $2646.41

DR Cash $8,400
CR Treasury Stock $8,000
CR Additional Paid-in Capital $400
(To record reissuance of Treasury Stock)
Workings
Cash = 400 * 21
= $8,400
Treasury Stock = 400 * 20 (purchase price)
= $8,000
Additional Paid-in Capital = (21 - 20) * 400
= $400
A company can sell all the units it can produce of either Product A or Product B but not both. Product A has a unit contribution margin of $16 and takes two machine hours to make and Product B has a unit contribution margin of $30 and takes three machine hours to make. If there are 5,000 machine hours available to manufacture a product, income will be:
a. $10,000 more if Product A is made.
b. $10,000 less if Product B is made.
c. $10,000 less if Product A is made.
d. the same if either product is made.
Answer:
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product A:
Unitary contribution margin= $16
Machine-hours required= 2
Product B:
Unitary contribution margin= $30
Machine-hours required= 3
First, we will calculate the total income of both products.
Product A= 16*(5,000/2)= $40,000
Product B= 30*(5,000/3)= $50,000
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
Angara Corporation uses activity-based costing to determine product costs for external financial reports. The company has provided the following data concerning its activity-based costing system:
Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Total Cost
Machine related (machine-hours) $ 103,800
Batch setup (setups) $ 402,600
Order size (direct labor-hours) $ 82,600
Total Activity
Activity Cost Pools Product X Product Y Total
Machine related 800 5,200 6,000
Batch setup 3,100 2,900 6,000
Order size 6,000 1,000 7,000
The total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to: ________.
Answer:
Total amount = $292,650
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Machine related (machine-hours) = $103,800
Batch setup (setups) = $402,600
Order size (direct labor-hours) = $82,600
For product X :
Machine related = ($103,800÷6000×800)
= $13,840
Batch setup = $402,600 × 3,100 ÷6,000
= $208,010
General factory = $82,600 × 6,000 ÷ 7000 = $70,800
Total amount = ($13,840 + $208,010 + $70,800)
= $292,650
Equipment with a book value of $78,000 and an original cost of $168,000 was sold at a loss of $31,000. Paid $106,000 cash for a new truck. Sold land costing $315,000 for $420,000 cash, yielding a gain of $105,000. Long-term investments in stock were sold for $90,000 cash, yielding a gain of $15,500. Use the above information to determine this company's cash flows from investing activities. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
$451,000
Explanation:
The computation of cash flows from investing activities is shown below:-
Sale of equipment $47,000
($78,000 - $31,000)
Purchase of new truck ($106,000)
Sale of land $420,000
Sale of Long-term investments $90,000
Net cash provided by investing activities $451,000
Therefore to reach the cash flows from investing activities we simply added the sale of equipment, sale of land, sale of long term investments and deduct the purchase of new truck.

The selling price of imported olive oil is $20 per case. Your cost is 15 Euros per case, and the exchange rate is currently 1.25, so it takes 1.25 Euros to buy $1. Your largest customer has ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. How much is the pretax profit for this transaction?
Answer:
$120,000
Explanation:
According to the question, the selling price (S.P) i.e. amount to be sold, of one imported olive oil case is $20 while the cost price (C.P) i.e. amount it was purchased, is €15
Looking at the currencies of both prices, they are different. To make the currencies the same, we need to convert euros (€) to dollars ($).
Based on the exchange rate of €1.25 to $1 given in the question;
€15 will be 15/1.25 = $12.
Therefore, the C.P is $12 and the S.P is $20
A customer ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. This means that the;
1) The cost price (C.P) will be $12 × 15,000 = $180,000
2) The selling price will be $20 × 15,000 = $300,000
In order to obtain the pretax profit, we subtract the cost price (C.P) from the selling price (S.P). That is, $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000
Suppose the market supply curve is p=5Q at a price of 10 , producer surplus equals
Answer: $10
Explanation:
The market supply curve is an upward sloping curve that depict the positive relationship that exists between the price and quantity supplied. It is derived by summing the quantity that the suppliers are willing to produce when the goods can be sold for a given price.
Suppose the market supply curve is p=5Q at a price of 10 , the producer surplus will be:
Producer surplus= (base × height)/2
Producer surplus = (2 × 10)/2
= 20/2
= $10
Given a supply curve of p = 5q, the producer surplus is equal to $10
From this question we have been given the price to be = p = 10
The formula says p = 5Q
10 = 5Q
Therefore Q= 10/5
Q = 2
Using the formula of area of a triangle,
1/2 * Base * height
We have the base = 2
While the height = 10
1/2*10*2
0.5*20
= 10
Therefore given a supply curve of p = 5q, the producer surplus is equal to $10

Enviro Company issues 8%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $300,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 10%, which implies a selling price of 87 1/2. The straight-line method is used to allocate interest expense. 1. Using the implied selling price of 87 ½, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds? 2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What is the amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
1. Issuer's cash is $262,500
2. Total amount of bond interest is $277,500
3. The amount of bond interest expense is $13,875.
Explanation:
1. Issuer's cash = Face Value × Selling Price
Issuer's cash = $300,000 × 87.50%
Issuer's cash = $262,500
2. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period of bonds= 10 years
Total amount of bond interest = Discount on Bond + (Interest on Bond × period)
Total amount of bond interest = $37,500 + ($24,000 × 10)
Total amount of bond interest = $277,500
3. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period = 0.5 years
The amount of bond interest expense = (Discount of Bond ÷ 20) + Interest
The amount of bond interest expense = ($37,500 ÷ 20) + ($24,000 × 0.5)
The amount of bond interest expense = $1,875 + $12,000
The amount of bond interest expense = $13,875.
Nicholas Health Systems recently reported an EBITDA of $25.0 million and net income of $15.8 million. It had $2.0 million of interest expense, and its federal tax rate was 21% (ignore any possible state corporate taxes). What was its charge for depreciation and amortization
Answer:
Depreciation and Amortization= $3,000,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Nicholas Health Systems recently reported an EBITDA of $25.0 million and a net income of $15.8 million. It had $2.0 million of interest expense, and its federal tax rate was 21%
We need to reverse engineer the net income calculation to determine the depreciation and amortization:
EBT= net income/(1-t)
EBT= 15,800,000/(1 - 0.21)
EBT= 20,000,000
EBIT= EBT + Interest
EBIT= 20,000,000 + 2,000,000
EBIT= 22,000,000
Now, we can determine D and A:
D and A= EBITDA - EBIT
DA= 25,000,000 - 22,000,000
DA= 3,000,000

Explanation:
Given that:
Jeremy operates a business as a sole proprietorship which uses a cash method of accounting. Now he is planning transfer them into a new corporation in exchange for its stock.
The assets are :
$10,000 of accounts receivable with a zero basis
have a basis of $20,000 and an FMV of $40,000
Liabilities

The note payable on medical equipment is $7,000.
Therefore , Jeremy's basis for his stock is : $20,000 -$7,000 = $13,000
since that will reduce the basis by amount of the note payable.
The liabilities payable will be deducted and taken care of by the corporation.

Current assets $ 48,800
Net fixed assets $ 248,800
Total Assets $ 297,600
Total Liabilities - Caraway Seed Company
current liabilities $ 28,500
long-term debt $ 98,200
Total $126,700
Equity = $ 297,600 - $126,700 = $170,900
B. Net working capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities
= $ 48,800 - $ 28,500
= $20,300
C. Net working capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities
= $ 48,800 - ( $18,500 + 10,500)
= $ 19,800
2. Identify the type of scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio) appropriate for each of the following types of data.
a. Star ratings of hotels
b. Sales revenues of companies
c. Grades of officers in armed forces
d. House numbers in a street
e. Prices of cars
f. Classes of accommodation on passenger flights
g. Passport numbers
h. Numbers in a rating scale on a questionnaire
i. Index numbers
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
A Nominal Scale is a scale where variables are grouped and categorized according to certain characteristics. You cannot perform normal mathematical functions on them such as addition, subtraction and the like.
Ordinal Scales are like nominal scale but in this case the variables can be ranked. You can have a first position and a last position.
An Interval scale is numeric and as such can be ordered. You can also perform mathematical functions on them. Interval scales have no true zero and an example is Temperature. That's why temperature can drop to the negatives.
A Ratio Scale is in many ways like an Interval Scale. The main distinguishing factor is that a Ratio Scale has a true 0. This means that at there is no number before 0 and at 0 level, the variable is considered finished.
Classifying the above therefore,
a. Star ratings of hotels.
ORDINAL because they can be ranked.
b. Sales revenues of companies.
RATIO because there is a true 0. At $0, there is no revenue.
c. Grades of officers in armed forces.
ORDINAL as it can be ranked.
d. House numbers in a street.
NOMINAL as the street numbers don't mean a house is higher ranked than another.
e. Prices of cars.
RATIO as there is a true zero. A car at $0 is free. Price cannot be below $0.
f. Classes of accommodation on passenger flights.
ORDINAL as it can be ranked according to treatment in the various classes.
g. Passport numbers.
NOMINAL as the different passport numbers are simply used for identification and cannot rank people.
h. Numbers in a rating scale on a questionnaire.
ORDINAL because the variables can be ranked from top to bottom.
i. Index numbers.
ORDINAL if the index can be ranked.
30. Oriole, Inc. leased equipment from Tower Company under a 4-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $254,152, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4 year useful life and no salvage value. Oriole, Inc.’s incremental borrowing rate is 11% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Oriole, Inc.) is 9%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a finance lease, what is the amount of Lease Liability reduction recorded in first year after the lease inception?
Answer:
$897,484.
Explanation:
Given:
Annual Payment = $254,152
The following company's average loan rate seems to be 11 per cent as well as the implied cost of the contract recognized by the company is 9 per cent.
Thus, the price implied in the contract that is recognized to the company would be 9 per cent although the contract doesn't often shift possession unless there is a negotiating opportunity to buy.
Let the lease year to Y = 4, and I = 9%
So, current value of the annuity is Y=4, I = 9% i.e., 3.53129
So, the cost documented for the contracted asset at the beginning of the contract [tex]=254,152\times3.53129=897,484[/tex]
Amount documented at the beginning of the contract for such contracted asset = $897,484

Demand for consumer goods is necessarily variable. Forecasting the demand for consumer goods is an important business activity, as all businesses have to plan ahead. Manufacturer of consumer goods has been studying the demand for one of their products and the level of demand is given in the following stem and leaf plot, where stem unit is 100 and leaf unit is 10. Stem Leaf 1 1, 2, 3, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 9.5 2 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 3 0, 0, 0, 2, 8 4 5 0 6 7 8 0 9 10 11 12 0 The outer fences are ___________.
Answer:
7.5 to 467.5.
Explanation:
Please note that In order to be fast, I make use of excel during the Calculation.
So, the first thing to do is to make sure that the observation is arranged in an increasing order.
Step one: Calculate the value for J1 and J3.
Know that J1 = J3. Where J3 = 3rd quartile.
Hence, J1 = 1st QUARTILE = QUARTILE. EXC (data, 1) = 18.
Also, J3 = QUARTILE. EXC(data, 3). = 29.5.
Therefore, the difference between the first quartile and the third QUARTILE = 29.5 - 18 = 11.5.
Step two: calculate the value for the higher fence and the lower fence respectively.
Thus, for the higher fence we have;
J3 + 1.5( 11.5).
= 29.5 + 1.5(11.5).
= 46.75.= (46.75 × 10) = 467.5).
Then, for the lower fence;
J1 - 1.5( 11.5).
= 18 - 1.5(11.5).
= 0.75 = (.75 × 10) = 7.5.

Explanation:
(1) Reporting of Capital Assets. Are capital assets reported as a line-item in the government-wide statement of net position? Are nondepreciable capital assets reported on a separate line from depreciable capital assets, or are they separately reported in the notes to the financial statements? Do the notes include capital asset disclosures, such as those for the City and County of Denver shown in Illustration 5–2? Does the disclosure show beginning balances, increases and decreases, and ending balances for each major class of capital assets, as well as the same information for accumulated depreciation for each major class? Are these disclosures presented separately for the capital assets of governmental activities, business-type activities, and discretely presented component units? Do the notes specify capitalization thresholds for all capital assets, including infrastructure? Do the notes show the amounts of depreciation expense assigned to each major function or program for governmental activities at the government-wide level? Are the depreciation policies and estimated lives of major classes of depreciable assets disclosed? Do the notes include the entity’s policies regarding capitalization of collections of works of art and historical treasures? If collections are capitalized, are they depreciated?
Answer:
Principal resources are reported as a line-item within the management wide declaration of net situation. Non-depreciable principal resources are individually reported within the proceedings to the money declarations. The revealing expressions starting equilibriums, will increase and reduces, and finish stabilities for every main category of principal assets, yet because the same info for accrued devaluation for every key category. These revelations are given individually for the wealth assets of administrative actions, occupational sort actions, and unnoticeably given part units. The summaries stipulate capitalization inceptions for all principal assets, together with arrangement. The summaries display the quantities of devaluation expenditure assigned to every major operate or package for administrative actions at the government-wide flat. The decline strategies and calculable lives of main categories of depreciable resources are released. Summaries do reveal the strategies relating to capitalization of assortment of skills and historic materials if some. These collectibles aren't criticized however market price of those art effort is measured to reason gain/ injury at the year finish. Accounting strategies for possessions no inheritable underneath capita tenancy are obviously mere
The competitive force of substitute products tends to be stronger when Group of answer choices buyers view the prices of substitutes as too high. the costs that buyers face in switching over to substitutes are low. the quality and performance of substitutes are relatively low. substitutes do not embody many characteristics that are similar to those of products already serving the market. none of the above.
Answer:
B. . the costs that buyers face in switching over to substitutes are low.
Explanation:
Porter's threat of substitutes assumes that there are alternative products which customers can easily switch to, to replace a particular product which might be dominant in the market. Some businesses tend to have a lot of competitors, unlike some that have monopoly of the market. Fast moving consumer goods like toiletries or beverages, fall into the class of businesses with many competitors.
There are several high risk factors that could prompt customers to chose a substitute. One of them is, if the prices of the substitutes are perceived by the customers as low. This would make them view the product as a better substitute. And if the product has similar or even higher quality, it makes the substitute more appealing.
You are given the following information about 2 accounts: Account 1 Time Account Value before transactions Deposit Withdrawal 0 100 0.25 110 X 0.75 120 3X 1 82 Account 2 Time Account Value before transactions Deposit Withdrawal 0 100 0.5 120 2X 1 140 You are also told that the dollar weighted return over the year on account 1 is i. If the time weighted return over the year on account 2 is also i, what are X and i
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
For account 1:
Dollar weighted investment = 100 for entire year + X for three fourth of the year - 3X for one fourth of the year = 100 + 3X/4 - 3X/4 = 100
Dollar return = Closing balance - opening balance - (Total deposit - total withdrawal) = 82 - 100 - (X - 3X) = 2X - 18
Hence, dollar weighted return = i = Dollar return / Dollar weighted investment = (2X - 18) / 100
Or, 100i = 2X - 18 Or, 50i = X - 9
For account 2:
Time weighted return: It has two components:
100 growing to 120 in 0.5 year
Immediately after deposit of 2X, the capital becomes 120 + 2X that grows to become 140 in the next 0.5 year
Hence time weighted return = 1 + i = 120 / 100 x 140 / (120 + 2X) = 168 / (120 + 2X) = 84 / (60 + X)
From the first equation, i = (X - 9) / 50
Hence, from second equation, 1 + i = 1 + (X - 9) / 50 = (41 + X) / 50 = 84 / (60 + X)
Hence, (60 + X).(41 + X) = 50 x 84
Hence, X2 + 101X + 2,460 = 4,200
Or, X2 + 101X - 1,740 = 0
It's a quadratic equation that can be factorized as:
(X - 15).(X + 116) = 0
Hence, X = 15
Hence, i = (X - 9) / 50 = (15 - 9) / 50 = 0.12 = 12%
The common stock of Leaning Tower of Pita Inc., a restaurant chain, will generate payoffs to investors next year, which depend on the state of the economy, as follows: Dividend Stock Price Boom $ 10 $ 200 Normal economy 6 90 Recession 0 0 The company goes out of business if a recession hits. Assume for simplicity that the three possible states of the economy are equally likely. The stock is selling today for $80.
a. Calculate the rate of return to Leaning Tower of Pita shareholders for each economic state. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Rate of return Boom Normal economy Recession a-2.
b. Calculate the expected rate of return and standard deviation of return to Leaning Tower of Pita shareholders. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Expected return Standard deviation
Answer:
a) Boom = 162.50%
Normal =20.00%
Recession = - 100.00%
b) Expected return = 27.50%
Standard deviation = 107.30%
Explanation:
a) To find the rate of return for each economy state, let's use:
Rate of return = (Dividend +Stock price next year-stock price today)/stock price today
i) For Boom:
[tex] \frac{10 + 200 - 80}{80} = 1.625 [/tex] = 162.50%
ii) Normal:
[tex]\frac{6 + 90- 80}{80} = 0.2 [/tex] = 20.00%
iii) Recession :
[tex]\frac{0 + 0 - 80}{80} = - 1 [/tex] = -100%
b) To calculate the expected rate of return, let's use:
Expected return = Sum of expected return in different scenario / number of economy states
[tex] = \frac{162.5 + 20 - 100}{3} = 27.50[/tex]
Standard deviation:
To find the standard deviation, let's use:
Standard deviation = √[(sum of square of expected return in each scenario -average return)/n]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{(162.50-27.50)^2+(20-27.50)^2+(-100-27.50)^2}{3}} [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{(135)^2 + (-7.50)^2 + (-127.50)^2}{3}} [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{18225+56.25+16256.25}{3} [/tex]
= 107.30%
Standard deviation = 107.30%
