Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2018:
Allister Barone
Inventory $530,000 $330,000
Sales 1,060,000 860,000
Investment income not given
Cost of goods sold 530,000 430,000
Operating expenses 245,000 315,000
Allister acquired 70 percent of Barone in January 2017. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $70,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a 4-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2018, Barone sells inventory costing $126,000 to Allister for $172,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end. Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2018:
Amounts
Inventory
Sales
Cost of goods sold
Operating expenses
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of inventory, sales, cost of goods sold, Operating expenses and Net income attributable to non-controlling interest is shown below:-
But before that we need to determine the following calculations
Unrealized profit on inventory = ($172,000 - $126,000) × 10%
= $4,600
Customer list amortization = $70,000 ÷ 4
= $17,500
Inventory = $530,000 + $330,000 - $4,600
= $855,400
Sales = $1,060,000 + $860,000 - $172,000
= $1,748,000
Cost of goods sold = $530,000 + $430,000 + $4,600 - $172,000
= $792,600
Operating expenses = $245,000 + $315,000 + $17,500
= $577,500
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest = 10% × ($860,000 - $430,000 - $315,000 - $4,600 - $17,500)
= 10% × $92,900
= $9,290
A company developed the following per unit materials standards for its product: 3 pounds of direct materials at $5 per pound. If 10000 units of product were produced last month and 31250 pounds of direct materials were used, the direct materials quantity variance was
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $6,250 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
3 pounds of direct materials at $5 per pound.
10,000 units of product were produced last month and 31,250 pounds of direct materials were used.
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= (3*10,000 - 31,250)*5
Direct material quantity variance= $6,250 unfavorable
Baldwin has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Buzz. Labor costs will go from $2.10 to $2.60 per unit. In addition, their material costs have fallen from $6.82 to $5.82. Assume all period costs as reported on Baldwin's Income Statement remain the same. If Baldwin were to pass on half the new costs of labor and half the savings in materials to customers by adjusting the price of their product, how many units of product Buzz would need to be sold next round to break even on the product
Answer:
433 units
Explanation:
Information related to production costs are missing, so I looked for it. I found the following:
current sales price = $17
current fixed costs = $7,242
new labor costs per unit = $2.60, which results in a $0.50 increase
new direct materials cost per unit = $5.82, which results in a $1 decrease
total variable costs per unit = $8.42
Baldwin plans to pass 50% of the changes in costs to its customers:
Increase $0.25 due to higher labor costsdecrease $0.50 due to lower materials costsnet change = -$0.25new sales price = $17 - $0.25 = $16.75
contribution margin per unit = $16.75 - $8.42 = $8.33
break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit = $7,242 / $16.75 = 432.36 = 433 units
Samantha and Darren are 50% owners in Black Hat Corp., a calendar year S corporation. On June 29, Samantha sold her shares to Endora. The financial results of Black Hat using normal accounting rules are as follows: Income through June 30 = $34,000; income from July 1 - Dec 31 = $76,000 for total income for the year of $110,000. All the shareholders would like to limit the tax liability from the S corporation income. Considering these facts, would Endora prefer the daily method or the normal accounting method to allocate income? What method would Samantha prefer?
Answer:
Endora would prefer DAILY METHOD while Samantha would prefer NORMAL ACCOUNTING METHOD
Explanation:
Based on the information given above Endora would most likely prefer the DAILY METHOD reason been that she would most likely allocate her income over the whole year while Samantha would prefer NORMAL ACCOUNTING METHOD reason been that the normal accounting method will often tend to recognizes a higher share of the income mostly in the second half of the year.
Therefore Endora would prefer DAILY METHOD while Samantha would prefer NORMAL ACCOUNTING METHOD.
The Silverside Company is considering investing in two alternative projects: Project 1 Project 2 Investment $400,000 $280,000 Useful life (years) 5 5 Estimated annual net cash inflows for useful life $90,000 $65,000 Residual value $25,000 $12,000 Depreciation method Straight−line Straight−line Required rate of return 10% 6% What is the payback period for Project 1?
Answer:
The Silverside Company
Project 1's Payback Period
= Initial Investment/Annual cash flows
= $400,000 / $90,000
= 4.44 years.
Explanation:
Project 1:
Initial Investment = $400,000
Useful life = 5 years
Annual cash inflows for useful life = $90,000
The Silverside Company's payback period calculates the time or number of years that it would take the company to recover from its initial investment in Project 1. This is the simple payback period calculation. There is also the discounted payback period calculation. This method discounts the annual cash inflows to their present values before the calculation is carried out. This second method gives a present value perspective on the issue.

Refer to the balance sheet above. If in 2006 Luther has 10.2 million shares outstanding and these shares are trading at $16 per share, then what is Luther's enterprise value?
A. -$540.0 million.
B. $771.4 million.
C. $385.7 million.
D. $521.4 million.
Answer:
C. $385.7m
Explanation:
Enterprise value = Market value of equity + Market value of all types of debt - Cash in the balance sheet
Market value of equity = Current share price × number of shares outstanding
= $16 × 10.2 million shares
= $163,200,000
Market value of all types of shares = Market value of long term debt + Market value of current portion of long term debt + notes payable / short term debt
We assume that market value of debts = Book value of debts
Therefore,
Market value of debt = $227m + $40.7m + $10.9m
= $278.6 m
Cash in the balance sheet = $56.10 m
Therefore;
Enterprise value = $163.20m + $278.60 - $56.1
=$385.7 m

Answer:
Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.
Explanation:
The average collection period can be described as how long it takes a company to get paid by the amount of money its clients are owing it in terms of accounts receivable (AR).
Average collection period can be calculated using the following formula:
ACP = (Accounts receivable / Net sales) * 365 days .............. (1)
Where, for this question;
ACP = Average collection period = ?
Accounts receivable = $70
Net sales = $2,870
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
ACP = ($70 / $2,870) * 365 days
ACP = 0.024390243902439 * 365 days
ACP = 8.90 days, or approximately 9 days
Therefore, Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.

Answer:
$.00102
Explanation:
The forward peso's spot value in 3 years can be computed using the below formula:
forward exchange rate=current spot rate*(1+US inflation)^3/(1+Mexican inflation)^3
current spot rate=$.005,
US inflation rate is 6%
Mexican inflation rate is 80%
forward exchange rate=$.005,*(1+6%)^3/(1+80%)^3
forward exchange rate(in 3 years)=$0.00102

(Round ROI to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15.) North Division % West Division % South Division % Compute the residual income for each division. (Round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,255.) North Division $ West Division $ South Division $ Assume that each division has an investment opportunity that would provide a rate of return of 16%. (1) If ROI is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment? (2) If residual income is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?
Answer:
North West South
Contribution margin $300,300 $499,000 $399,200
Controllable margin $139,700 $360,600 $209,900
Average operating assets $997,857 $1,567,826 $1,499,286
Minimum rate of return 13% 14% 9%
return on investment (ROI) = controllable margin / average operating assets
North's ROI = $139,700 / $997,857 = 14%
West's ROI = $360,600 / $1,567,826 = 23%
South's ROI = $209,900 / $1,499,286 = 14%
residual income = controllable margin - (average operating assets x minimum rate of return)
North's RI = $139,700 - ($997,857 x 13%) = $9,978.59
West's RI = $360,600 - ($1,567,826 x 14%) = $141,104.36
South's RI = $209,900 - ($1,499,286 x 9%) = $74,964.26
(1) If ROI is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?
North and South divisions should probably make the additional investments since their current ROI is less than 16%
(2) If residual income is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Question options :
A. increases; falls
B. decreases; falls
C. does not change; does not change
D. increases; rises
Answer:
B. decreases; falls
Explanation:
let us understand this by looking at the logic behind it. First when the economy is at full employment, there is high demand since there will be increase in money supply through increased circulation from salaries and wages. If government increases taxes, this will reduce purchasing power as money supply will be reduced and therefore demand will be reduced. Also price will fall since according to the Law of demand and supply, if demand is more than supply, price will increase
Conner Manufacturing has two major divisions. Management wants to compare their relative performance. Information related to the two divisions is as follows:
Division 1:
Sales: $200,000
Expenses: $150,000
Asset investment: $950,000
Division 2:
Sales: $45,000
Expenses: $35,000
Asset investment: $200,000
Based on ROI, which division is more profitable?
a. Division 1
b. Both divisions have the same ROI ratio
c. Division 2
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Division 1 (a.)
Explanation:
Return on investment (ROI) is a financial ratio used to calculate the benefit earned on an investment cost.
Mathematically, it is represented as:
[tex]ROI = \frac{Net\ Income}{original\ cost\ of\ investment} \times 100[/tex]
where:
Net income = Sales - expenses
Original cost of investment = asset invested
Now let us calculate the ROI for each division:
Division 1 :
Net income = Sales - Expenses = 200,000 - 150,000 = $50,000
Asset investment = $950,000
[tex]ROI = \frac{50,000}{950,000} \times 100\ \\\\ROI = 5.26\%[/tex]
Division 2:
Net income = 45,000 - 35,000 = $10,000
Asset investment = $200,000
[tex]ROI = \frac{10,000}{200,000} \times 100\\\\= ROI = 0.05\ \times\ 100\ = 5\%[/tex]
Therefore, based on the ROI for both divisions, Division 1 has a greater ROI (5.26%) than Division 2 (5%) hence, Division 1 is more profitable.
