Before month-end adjustments are made, the February 28 trial balance of Neutral Milk Hotel contains revenue of $7,000 and expenses of $4,400. Adjustments are necessary for the following items: Depreciation for February is $1,800. Revenue recognized but not yet billed is $2,700. Accrued interest expense is $700. Revenue collected in advance that is now recognized is $2,500. Portion of prepaid insurance expired during February is $400.InstructionsCalculate the correct net income for Neutral Milk Hotel’s Income Statement for February.
Answer: $4,900
Explanation:
Net income will be:
= (Revenue + Revenue recognized but not yet billed + Revenue collected in advance that is now recognized) - Expenses - Depreciation - Accrued interest expense - Portion of prepaid insurance for the month
= (7,000 + 2,700 + 2,500) - 4,400 - 1,800 - 700 - 400
= $4,900
A company enters a futures contract to sell 50,000 units of a commodity for 70 cents per unit. The initial margin is $4,000 and the maintenance margin is $3,000. What change in the futures price (per unit) would lead to a margin call?
Answer:
72 cents
Explanation:
There is going to be a margin call when greater than 1000 dollars has been lost from the margin. Then the balance in the account is going to be smaller than that of the maintenance margin. so 1 cent increase in the price would bring about a lossof
0.01 * 50000
= $500
if the increase in the future price is about 2 cents then there would be a margin call.
70+2 = 72cents, this is when there would be a margin call
Bella, Inc. manufactures two kinds of bagstotes and satchels. The company allocates manufacturing overhead using a single plantwide rate with direct labor cost as the allocation base. Estimated overhead costs for the year are$25,750. Additional estimated information is given below. Totes Satchels Direct materials cost per unit $33 $44Direct labor cost per unit $52 $60Number of units 520 370Calculate the pre-determined overhead allocation rate.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given that estimated overhead costs for the year = $25,750
Bagstotes:
Direct materials cost per unit = $33
Direct labor cost per unit = $52
Number of units = 520
Satchels
Direct materials cost per unit = $44
Direct labor cost per unit = $60
Number of units = 370
Estimated direct labor =
(Direct labor cost per unit × No of units) of totes + (Direct labor cost per unit × No of units) of Satchels
= ($52 × 520) + ($60 × 370)
= $27,040 + $22,200
= $29,240
Predetermine overhead allocation rate:
= Estimated overhead / Estimated direct labor × 100
= $25,750 / $29,240 × 100
= 88.06%
Mickley Company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate is $20.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $15.00 per hour. The following information pertains to Job A-500: Direct materials $ 280 Direct labor $ 150 Required: 1. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job A-500? 2. If Job A-500 consists of 70 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Total hours for job A - 500
= Direct labor ÷direct labor wage rate
= $150 ÷ $15
= 10
Total over head cost = overhead cost per labor hours × no. of labor hours
= $20 × 10
= $200
total manufacturing cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Total over head cost
= $280 + $150 + $200
= $630
2.
Cost assigned to each unit
= total manufacturing cost ÷ number of units
= $630 ÷ 70
= $9
Cox Engineering performs cement core tests in its laboratory. The following standards have been set for each core test performed: Std. Hours or Quantity Std. Price or Rate Direct materials 3 pounds $0.75 per pound Direct labor 0.4 hours $12 per hour During March the laboratory performed 2,000 core tests. The following events occurred during March: 8,600 pounds of sand were purchased at a cost of $7,310. 7,200 pounds of sand were used for core tests. 840 actual direct labor hours were worked at a cost of $8,610. The direct material usage variance for March is:
Answer:
1200 U
Explanation:
Standard of material usage:
Material required 3 pounds per test
2000 core tests performed
Standard usage : 2,000 test * 3 pound per test = 6000 pounds
Actual usage of material = 7,200
Variance = 1,200 unfavorable.
Leona, whose marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 37 percent, owns 100 percent of the stock of Henley Corporation. This year, Henley generates $1 million of taxable income.
If Henley wants to pay all of its after-tax earnings to Leona as a dividend, calculate the amount of the dividend payment.
Calculate Leona’s tax due on the dividend computed in part a, and her after-tax cash flow from the dividend receipt.
Compute the combined corporate and individual tax burden on Henley’s $1 million of current year income, and the effective combined tax rate on this income.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First and foremost, it should be noted that there's a flat tax rate of 21% on the taxable income, therefore the after tax income will be:
= (1 - 21%) × $1 million
= 79% × $1 million
= $790,000
Therefore, the amount of the dividend payment is $790,000 which is given to Leona.
The after tax cash flow from the dividend receipt will be:
= $790,000 - (20% × $790,000)
= $790,000 - (0.2 × $790,000)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
Therefore, the total tax by Henly and Leona will then be:
= $210,000 + $158,000
= $368,000.
This is 36.8% (368000/1 million) of the tax rate.
Total assets were $78,000 and total liabilities were $42,000 at the beginning of the year. Net income for the year was $15,500, and dividends of $5,000 were declared and paid during the year.
Required:
Calculate total stockholders' equity at the end of the year.
Answer:
$46,500
Explanation:
Accounting equation is stated as :
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
therefore,
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Equity at Beginning of the Period :
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
= $78,000 - $42,000
= $36,000
Equity at end of the Period
Closing Equity Balance = Opening Balance + Net Income - Dividends
= $36,000 + $15,500 - $5,000
= $46,500
The information below applies to a competitive firm that sells its output for $40 per unit.
• When the firm produces and sells 150 units of output, its average total cost is $24.50.
• When the firm produces and sells 151 units of output, its average total cost is $24.55.
How does the firm's marginal revenue (MR) compare to its marginal cost (MC) when it increases its output from 150 units to 151 units?
a. MR exceeds MC by $7.95.
b. MR exceeds MC by $11.05.
c. MC exceeds MR by $11.05.
d. MC exceeds MR by $13.50.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the change in total cost when output is increased by 1 unit
total cost = average cost x quantity
Marginal cost = (151 x 24.55) - (150 x 24.50) = 32.05

Categorize each scenario as describing a movement along a demand curve or a shift of the demand curve.
a. College students rush and buy discount furniture to take advantage of a one-day sale
b. Students eat out more often as the federal government increase how much grant money it provides
c. College students reduce how detergent they for each of laundry response to higher detergent prices.
d. College students purchase many more energy drinks during finals week than during the rest of the semester.
Answer:
a, a movement along a demand curve
b. shift of the demand curve.
c. a movement along a demand curve
d. shift of the demand curve.
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.
Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :
1. a change in consumers' expectation
2. a change in the taste of consumers
3. a change in income
a. A discount would reduce the price of furniture, as a result the quantity demanded would increase. There would be a movement down along the demand curve.
b. As a result of the increase in grant, the income of students increase. this would lead to an increase in demand. the demand curve would shift outward
c. As a result of higher prices, the quantity demanded of detergents would reduce. This would lead to a movement up along the demand curve for detergents
d. An increase in demand for energy drinks is as a result of a change in taste. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve
Suppose a commercial banking system has $40,000 of outstanding checkable deposits and actual reserves of $4,500. If the reserve ratio is 10 percent, the banking system can expand the supply of money by the maximum amount of
Answer: $50000
Explanation:
Based on the information that's been given in the question, firstly we need to calculate the excess reserves which will be:
= $4500 - (10% × $40000)
= $4500 - $4000
= $500
Then, the money supply that's expanded will be:
= Excess reserve / Reserve ratio
= $5000 / 10%
= $5000 / 0.1
= $50000
Therefore, the answer is $50,000.

b. $46,067.
c. $46,170.
d. $46,620.
Please EXPLAIN answer for a thumps-up. I'm tried of wrong answers, please don't answer it unless you are 100% sure.
Answer:
A. The correct option is b. $46,067.
B. The correct option is d. $46,620.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
A. Assuming that Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part A of the attached excel file for the calculation of the of units and cost of goods available for sale.
Since Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, this implies that this is a periodic inventory system. And update to inventory in a periodic inventory system are made on a regular basis, such as monthly, quarterly, etc.
From the part A attached excel file, we have:
Units of goods available for sale = 23,100
Cost of goods available for sales = $236,481
Weighted-average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sales / Units of goods available for sale = $236,481 / 23,100 = $10.2372727272727
Inventory at January 31 = Units of inventory balance at January 31 * Weighted-average cost per unit = 4,500 * $10.2372727272727 = $46,068
From the options the closest one is b. $46,067. Therefore, the inventory at January 31 is $46,067 and the correct option is b. $46,067.
B. Assuming that Rich maintains perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the moving-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part B of the attached excel file for the calculation of the inventory at January 31 (in bold red color).
Under Perpetual Inventory system, the inventory is updated whenever a purchase or sale is made. It's a procedure that happens in real time.
In the Part B of the attached excel file, the following rates in light red color are made as follows:
Rate on January 6 = ($87,930 + $61,800) / 15,000 = $9.98 per unit
Rate on January 26 = ($74,865 + 86,751) / 15,600 = $10.36 per unit
From the part B attached excel file, we have:
Inventory at January 31 = $46,620.
Therefore, the correct option is d. $46,620.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Why do you think demand analysis is essential for businesses?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Demand analysis is the process of understanding the customer demand for a product or service in a target market. Companies use demand analysis techniques to determine if they can successfully enter a market and generate expected profits to expand their business operations. It also gives a better understanding of the high-demand markets for the company’s offerings, using which businesses can determine the viability of investing in each of these markets. The importance of demand analysis in the business decision is that it helps firms design their pricing policy. The Firm can choose either to lower or raise a product’s price by observing the trend of consumer demand for that product. Producers can’t fix the price for their products without first understanding the market demand for them. These are reasons why I think demand analysis is essential for businesses

The correct option is Hong Kong; Zurich.
Explanation:
Giveen:
Currency dealer in London New York Zurich Hong Kong
Bid/Ask Quotes for CHF $0.7464-71 $0.7469-76 $0.7471-74 $0.7460-70
Locational arbitrage can be described as the act of a currency speculator attempting to profit from tiny exchange rate discrepancies across several banks in different locations for a specific currency pair.
Since it is possible for the currency speculator to buy at Ask price from a bank in one location and sell it to another bank at bid price in another location, he will try to identify where he can buy at the lowest price to go and sell in another location with the highest price.
From the table above, Hong Kong has the lowest Bid/Ask Quotes for CHF of $0.7460-70 while Zurich has the highest Zurich of $0.7471-74. Therefore a currency speculator should buy CHF from the Hong Kong dealer and sell CHF to the Zurich dealer.
Therefore, the correct option is Hong Kong; Zurich.
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 7,500 units at $6.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $4.50 per unit, which includes $3.00 variable cost and $1.50 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,000 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order?
A. No, because additional production would exceed capacity.
B. No, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenue.
C. No because incrementa conse o Yes, because incremental revenue exceeds incremental costs.
D. Yes, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenues.
E. No, because the incremental revenue is too low.

Doug Datner had an eclectic background. He completed his law degree from the University of Virginia, then went to work for a technology start-up in Dubai. After the start-up was purchased by a larger corporation, affording Doug a hefty sum of money, Doug and his spouse returned to the United States. While working with an architect and a designer to build their dream home, they realized that there was not a provider of high-quality custom-made door and window hardware at a reasonable price point in the United States. Even though Doug had no experience in the field, he decided to start a business manufacturing high-quality custom-made door and window hardware. He named the company Hardware House Doug and his wife cleared space in their newly constructed garage, designed several basic prototypes, and hired a metalwork expert to replicate their prototypes. They decided to have a few designs in catalog as one component of their business, but have the capability to alter those designs to provide designers with custom hardware. The first few years were tough. Business was steady enough to hire a second metalwork expert, but cash flow challenges often made Doug worry whether he would be able to pay his metalwork experts on time. Still, the Hardware House had gained a number of consistent clients, and was able to move into an old warehouse space and expand operations. Ten years later, Hardware House has nearly 100 employees. While the majority of the employees work in manufacturing, there are also employees in marketing, design, accounting, and human resources. Doug structured the business to limit his liability in case of lawsuit, but still managed to maintain the business without sharing ownership.
Which of the following is an advantage Doug should expect by sharing ownership with others?
a. Gaining access to all of the distribution of profits.
b. Access to additional knowledge and expertise.
c. Additional freedom from government regulation.
d. Enhanced control to make decisions immediately
e. Greater degree of secrecy
Answer: b. Access to additional knowledge and expertise.
Explanation:
One of the advantages of opening a limited company be it private or public, is the additional knowledge that the other shareholders would bring on board.
In the case of a private company, the new shareholders would be from various backgrounds and would have knowledge on how to grow the business and in the case of a public company, the Board of Directors are usually drawn from various industries and so will put their experience from those industries into the company thereby giving it an edge.
XYZ pays for 40% of its raw materials purchases in the month of purchase and 60% in the following month. Budgeted cost of materials purchases in July is $256,550 and $278,050 in Aug. Total budgeted cash disbursements for materials purchases in August is:______.
A) S265,150
B) $153,930
C) $166,830
D) S111,220
Answer:
$265,150
Explanation:
Cost of material purchases in July
= 256,550 × 60/100
= 256,550×0.6
= 153,930
Cost of purchases in August
= 278,050×40/100
= 278,050×0.4
= 111,220
Total cash disbursement
= 111,220+153,930

Year Nominal GDP Real GDP GDP Deflator (Dollars) (Base year 2016, dollars) 2016 2017 2018 From 2017 to 2018, nominal GDP , and real GDP. The inflation rate in 2018 was.
Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Real GDP is defined as the Nominal GDP minus the inflation effect.
Real GDP provides a more accurate picture of economic growth than nominal GDP because it uses constant prices, making comparisons between years more meaningful by allowing for comparisons of the actual volume of goods and services without considering inflation.
Let's say you bought apples at 5dollars per pound in 2015. Imagining a country of 1000 people and considering everyone bought a pound apples and only apples in that year, the GDP comes out to be 1000*5 = 5000 dollars.
Now let's say inflation rate is 10 percent in 2016 which will increase the price to 5.5 dollars per pound. Also, in one year, 10 more people were added to the country (No of births - No of deaths = New people in that year), this brings out total population to around 1010.
Also, let's say that the sale of apples remained the same, so the GDP of 2016 comes out to be 1000*5.5 = 5500 dollars.
That's a whooping 10% increase in GDP, right?
But here the catch.
The GDP increased not because the demand increased, but because the price of the good increased.
If we see at previous year's price (Not considering the inflation, also called Real GDP), the GDP is same which is 5000 dollars.
So, in reality, there isn't any increase in GDP.

Scampini Technologies is expected to generate $175 million in free cash flow next year, and FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% per year indefinitely. Scampini has no debt or preferred stock, and its WACC is 10%. If Scampini has 55 million shares of stock outstanding, what is the stock's value per share
Answer:
the stock value per share is $53
Explanation:
The computation of the stock value per share is shown below:
Value of operations = Free cash flows ÷ ( Capitalization Rate - growth rate )
= $175 Million ÷ ( (10% - 4%)
= $2,917
Now stock value per share is
= $2,917 ÷ 55 million shares
= $53 per share
Hence, the stock value per share is $53
Which of the following non-GAAP disclosures is LEAST LIKELY to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income:
a. Goodwill impairment
b. Inventory write down
c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary
d. Gain on sale of an asset
Answer: c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.
Explanation:
GAAP refers to the industry standard and it gives a clear view of the operations of a business from a financial point of view. On the other hand, the non-GAAP disclosure deviates from the industry standard and in such case, adjustments are made to show company's operations.
The non-GAAP disclosures which is least likely to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income is the currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.
Assume that Division Blue has achieved a yearly income from operations of $166,000 using $976,000 of invested assets. If management has set a minimum acceptable return of 8%, the residual income is a.$166,000 b.$105,504 c.$70,336 d.$87,920
Answer:
d.$87,920
Explanation:
Residual Income = Net Income - Cost of Investment
therefore
Residual Income = $166,000 - ($976,000 x 8%)
= $87,920

A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 7.3%, and sells for $1,170. Interest is paid annually.a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your anser to nearest whole number.)b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answerSlightly less than your part b answerd. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
a. Price 1 year later = $810
b. Annual rate of return on the bond = -24.53%
c. Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.
d. Annual real rate of return on the bond = -26.73%
Explanation:
a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Price 1 year later = Coupon rate * Par value / Yield to maturity * (1 - 1 / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity) + Par value / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity = 7.3% * 1000 / 10.7% * (1 - 1 / (100% + 10.7%)^9) + 1000 / (100% + 10.7%)^9 = $810
b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (810 + 7.3% * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.53%
c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answer Slightly less than your part b answer
This can be determined as follows:
Price 1 year later = (Coupon rate / 2) * Par value / (Yield to maturity / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2)) + Par value / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2) = (7.3% / 2) * 1000 / (10.7% / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2)) + 1000 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2) = $807
Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (807 + (7.3% / 2) * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.79%
Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.
d. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual real rate of return on the bond = (1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation)-1 = (1 - 24.53%) / (1 +3 %) - 1 = -26.73%
Tan Corporation of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 9,600,000 $ 26,000,000 Net operating income $ 672,000 $ 2,340,000 Average operating assets $ 3,200,000 $ 13,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 16%. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The return on investment is
= Margin turnover
= Net operating income ÷ sales × sales ÷ average operating assets
For Osaka
= $672,000 ÷ $9,600,000 × $9,600,000 ÷ $3,200,000
= 21%
For Yokohama
= $2,340,000 ÷ $2,600,000 × $2,600,000 ÷ $13,000,000
= 18%
2. The residual income is
= Net operating income - (average operating assets × rate of return)
For Osaka
= $672,000 - ($3,200,000 × 16%)
= $160,000
For yokohama
= $2,340,000 - ($13,000,000 × 16%)
= $260,000
