Explanation:
Mountain High Ice Cream Company transferred $79,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made without recourse. Prudential remits 90% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 10%. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $6,900) less a 3% fee (3% of the total factored amount).
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Mountain High assuming that the sale criteria are met.
Answer:
Debit Cash for $68,730; Debit Receivable from factor for $6,900; Debit Loss on sale of receivables for $3,370; and Credit Accounts receivable $79,000.
Explanation:
Factored amount = $79,000
Cash = Factored amount * (100% - Percentage of he factored amount retained - Rate of fee = $79,000 * (100% - 10% - 3%) = $68,730
Receivable from factor = $6,900
Loss on sale of receivables = Factored amount - Cash - Receivable from factor = $79,000 - $68,730 - $6,900 = $3,370
The journal entry will therefore look as follows:
Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
Cash 68,730
Receivable from factor 6,900
Loss on sale of receivables 3,370
Accounts receivable 79,000
(To record factoring of accounts receivable.)
Jackson Company has two service departments (S1 and S2) and two producing departments (A and B). Department S1 serves Departments S2, A, and B in the following percentages, respectively: 15%, 25%, and 60%. Department S2 serves Departments S1, A, and B in the following percentages, respectively: 0%, 70%, and 30%. Direct department costs for S1, S2, A, and B are $200,000, $16,000, $210,000, and $185,000, respectively. If Jackson uses the step method of allocating service department costs beginning with Department S1, what is the total amount of cost that will be allocated from S2 to Department A?
Answer:
The total amount of cost that will be allocated from S2 to Department A is $32,200.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost allocated from Department S1 to Department S2 = Direct department costs of Department S1 * Percentage of service to Department S2 = $200,000 * 15% = $30,000
Total Direct department costs for S2 = Direct department costs for S2 + Cost allocated from Department S1 to Department S2 = $16,000 + $30,000 = $46,000
Cost allocated from Department S2 to Department SA = Total direct department costs for S2 * Percentage of service to Department A = $46,000 * 70% = $32,200
Therefore, the total amount of cost that will be allocated from S2 to Department A is $32,200.
Elfalan Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 51,000 units per month is as follows:
Direct materials $48.10
Direct labor $9.20
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $19.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $4.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $19.00
The normal selling price of the product is $108.10 per unit.
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3,100 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.30 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.
Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1,250 units for regular customers.
The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
a. $92.10 per unit
b. $108.10 per unit
c. $69.10 per unit
d. $79.18 per unit
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Direct material = $48.10
Direct labor = $9.20
Variable manufacturing = $2.20
Fixed manufacturing = $19.50
Variable admin expenses = $4.0
Selling price = $108.10
Profit =
Contribution per unit =
New order = $3,100 units
Direct material = $48.10
Direct labor = $9.20
Variable manufacturing = $2.20
Cornerstone Exercise 9-41 Ratio Analysis Red Corporation had $1,750,000 in total liabilities and $3,000,000 in total assets as of December 31, 2020. Of Red's total liabilities, $600,000 is long-term. Required: Calculate Red's debt to assets ratio and its long-term debt to equity ratio. Round your answers to four decimal places, if required. Debt to Total Assets fill in the blank 1 Long-Term Debt to Total Equity fill in the blank 2
Answer:
A. Debt to Total Assets ratio 0.5833 times
B. Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio 0.48 times
Explanation:
A. Calculation for Red's debt to assets ratio using this formula
Debt to Total Assets ratio = Total Liabilities/
Total Assets
Let plug in the formula
Debt to Total Assets ratio=$1,750,000/$3,000,000
Debt to Total Assets ratio=0.5833 times
Therefore the Debt to Total Assets ratio will be 0.5833 times
B. Calculation to determine its long-term debt to equity ratio
First step is to calculate the Shareholders’ Equity using this formula
Shareholders’ Equity = Total Assets – Total outside liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Shareholders’ Equity = $3,000,000-$1,750,000 Shareholders’ Equity =$1,250,000
Now let calculate the Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio using this formula
Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio = Long Term Debt/ Total Shareholder’s equity
Let plug in the formula Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio=$600,000/$1,250,000
Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio= 0.48 times
Therefore Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio will be 0.48 times
Comcast (CMCSA) is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 2850 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 56. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: =-9.34%
Explanation:
Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, the return, relative to the collateral will be calculated as:
= (Short sell price - dividend - Share buy price)/Capital employed
= (5433 - 100 - 5600) / 2850
= -267 / 2850
= -0.09368
=-9.34%
Note:
Short sell price = 54.33 × 100 = 5433
Dividend = 100
Share buy price = 56 × 100 = 5600

SUV Company is considering producing a line of luxury SUVs. Currently, SUV Company sells 4,200 standard SUVs annually for $45,400 each. They expect that they would sell 5,600 luxury SUVs for $80,500. If SUV Company produces the line of luxury SUVs, then they expect to only sell 3,300 standard SUVs. What is the incremental revenue generated from the potential project
Answer:
SUV Company
The incremental revenue generated from the potential project is:
= $409,940,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of Standard SUVs = $45,400
Number of Standard SUVs sold annually = 4,200
Luxury SUVs' price per unit = $80,500
Number of Luxury SUVs expected to be sold = 5,600
Reduced number of Standard SUVs sold as a result = 3,300
Lost sales of Standard SUVs = 900 (4,200 - 3,300)
The incremental revenue generated from the potential project is:
Sale revenue from Luxury SUVs = $450,800,000 ($80,500 * 5,600)
Lost revenue from lost sale of
Standard SUVs = 40,860,000 ($45,400 * 900)
Incremental revenue generated = $409,940,000
b) The incremental revenue is the additional revenue generated from the introduction of the Luxury SUVs, excluding the lost revenue from the non-sale of Standard SUVs as a result of the introduction.

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 30,000 units and incurred the following costs:
a. Purchased 160,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
b. Direct laborers worked 55,000 hours at a rate of $15.00 per hour.
c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $280,500.
Required:
a. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's planning budget for March?
b. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget for March?
c. What is the materials price variance for March?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound $40.00
The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units.
a)
The material cost included in the planning budget is the standard cost multiplied for the budgeted production.
Direct material requiered= 25,000*5= 100,000 pounds
Standard cost per pound= $5
Direct material budget= 100,000*5= $500,000
b)
The raw material's flexible budget adapts to the actual production level.
Direct material flexible budget= standard cost*actual material used in production
Direct material flexible budget= 5*160,000
Direct material flexible budget= $800,000
c)
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 - 7.5)*160,000
Direct material price variance= $400,000 unfavorable
Bank of the Atlantic has liabilities of $4 million with an average maturity of two years paying interest rates of 4.0 percent annually. It has assets of $5 million with an average maturity of 5 years earning interest rates of 6.0 percent annually. What is the bank's net interest income for the current year
Answer:
the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000
Explanation:
The computation of the bank net interest income for the current year is shown below:
= (Interest earning assets × Interest rate earned)-(Interest bearing liabilities × Interest rate rate)
= $5,000,000 × 6% - $4,000,000 × 4%
=$300,000 - $160,000
= $140,000
Hence, the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000

Dog Bone Bakery, which bakes dog treats, makes a special biscuit for dogs. Each biscuit uses 0.75 cup of pure semolina flour. They buy 4,000 cups of flour at $0.55 per cup. They use 3,588 cups of flour to make 4,800 biscuits. The standard cost per cup of flour is $0.54. A. What are the direct materials price variance, the direct materials quantity variances, and the total direct materials cost variance
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material rate and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (0.55 - 0.54)*4,000
Direct material price variance= $40 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (0.75*4,800 - 3,588)*0.55
Direct material quantity variance= $6.6 favorable
Finally, the total variance:
Total direct material variance= 40 + 6.6= $46.6 favorable

= Cash payment + Semi-annual
Amortization of bonds discount
= ($396,000 + $22,738)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds issued = $7,200,0
Cash received = $6,836,187
Total bonds discount = $363,813 ($7,200,000 - $6,836,187)
Period of bonds = 8 years
Interest rate of bonds = 11%
Effective interest rate = 12%
Semi-annual cash payment = $396,000 ($7,200,000 * 11% * 6/12)
First interest expense on December 31 Year 1 = $410,171 ($6,836,187 * 12% * 6/12)
Amortization of bond discount for the first six months = $14,171 ($410,171 - $396,000)
Bond balance after the first six months = $6,850,358 ($6,836,187 + $14,171)
Second interest expense on June 30, Year 2 = $411,021 ($6,850,358 * 6%)
Amortization of bond discount for the second six months (June 30, Year 2) = $15,021 ($411,021 - $396,000)
Bond balance on June 30, Year 2 = $6,865,379 ($6,850,358 + $15,021)
Straight-line method amortization:
Semi-annual amortization of bond discount = $22,738 ($363,813/16)
Interest expense = $396,000

The local police department gives a detective test. Everyone who takes the test must have been a police officer for at least five years. The people taking the exam are rated from highest to lowest based on their test scores. If a detective position becomes available, it is filled on the basis of who has the highest score. What best describes this practice?
Answer:
Internal Recruitment/Selection, based on merit.
Explanation:
The local police department gives a Detective test and these are the features of that test;
1. The test is for persons who are already police officers.
This is called internal sourcing / internal recruitment. Instead of having fresh candidates, the police department picked up on employed police officers.
2. Everyone sitting for the test has been a police officer for at least 5 years.
This quality shows that everyone sitting for the test has experience on the job of policing. This also means that the test candidates will be familiar with terms on the test script.
3. The criterion for selection of best candidate is score.
This is a merit selection, hence if an officer of 15 years scores 65% and an officer of 5 years scores 80%, the officer of 5 years takes the vacant detective position.

Ration of Direct labor to Indirect Labor "3:1"
Total = 3 + 1 = 4
So, Indirect Labor = $180,000*1/4 = $45,000
The amount to be debited to Factory Overhead for indirect labor for this month $45,000
An object was thrown from rest upward with an initial velocity of 10m/s with time frame of 6s find the distance of the object from it's resting point
Answer:
5.10 m
Explanation:
Given that :
Initial Velocity, u = 10m/s
Time taken, t = 6s
Distance traveled by the object , s
The final velocity, v at this point = 0
Upward throw, g = - (negative)
Using the relation :
u² =. V²-2gs
g = 9.8 m/s
10² = 0² - 2(9.8)*S
100 = 19.6S
S = 100 / 19.6
Distance traveled = 5.10 m

The computation of the amount recorded in the warranty expense is shown below:
= Sale value of merchandise inventory × estimated percentage
= $800,000 × 1%
= $8,000
hence, the amount recorded in the warranty expense is $8,000
So the above formula should be applied

Which statement concerning the kinked demand curve model of oligopoly is false? The portion of the demand curve above the "kink" is more elastic than the portion below. The firm's marginal costs can sometimes shift without changing the profit-maximizing price and output. It assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow. It addresses the question of price "stickiness."
Answer: It assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow
Explanation:
An oligopoly is a form of market where there are dominated by few group of large sellers.
A kinked demand curve simply happens when the elasticity is not thesame for the lower and higher prices and the demand curve isn't a straight line.
It simply suggests that there are rigid prices and assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow.
Signal mistakenly produced 1,075 defective cell phones. The phones cost $70 each to produce. A salvage company will buy the defective phones as they are for $39 each. It would cost Signal $82 per phone to rework the phones. If the phones are reworked, Signal could sell them for $146 each. Signal has excess capacity. Should Signal scrap or rework the phones
Answer: Rework the phones
Explanation:
The phones have already been produced so the cost price of $70 does not matter as it is a sunk cost.
The decision the company makes between scrap and reworking will depend on which option bring in more money.
Scrap = $39
Reworking:
= Price after reworking - Cost to rework
= 146 - 82
= $64
Incremental income of reworking over scrap:
= 1,075 * (64 - 39)
= $26,875
Signal makes an incremental income of $26,875 if they rework the phones so they should do that.
g Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.8 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter your answers as positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion
Answer: $5 billion
Explanation:
First find the spending multiplier which is a multiplier that shows how Aggregate demand increases as a result of additional spending.
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - Marginal propensity to consume)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.8)
= 5
If the government wants to raise Aggregate demand by $25 billion, they should spend:
Increase in AD = Amount * Multiplier
25 billion = Amount * 5
Amount = 25 / 5
= $5 billion
