Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Dexter Industries

Depreciation Expenses for the three years ending December 31:

     a) Straight line method b) Units-of-activity method c) Double-Declining

Year 1        $96,900                      $135,600                          $211,200

Year 2       $96,900                        $81,396                         $105,600

Year 3       $96,900                      $108,528                          $52,800

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of equipment purchased on January 8 = $422,400

Expected useful life = 4 years or 7,600 operating hours

Residual value = $34,800

Depreciable amount = $387,600 ($422,400 - $34,800)

Straight-line Depreciation Expense per year = $96,900 ($387,600/4)

Units-of-activity method Depreciation Expenses:

Depreciation rate per hour = $51 ($387,600/7,600)

Period   Hours   Depreciation Expense

Year 1   2,660     $135,600 (2,660 * $51)

Year 2   1,596       $81,396 (1,596 * $51)

Year 3   2,128     $108,528 (2,128 * $51)

Year 4    1,216       $62,016 (1,216 * $51)

Double-declining-balance method:

Depreciation rate per year = 50% (100%/4 * 2)

Year 1 = $211,200 ($422,400 * 50%)

Year 2 = $105,600 ($211,200 * 50%)

Year 3 = $52,800 ($105,600 * 50%)

Year 4 = $18,000 ($52,800 - $34,800)

f. Cash sales for the month, $8,750.
g. Billed credit customers $14,200 for monthly services.

Answers

Answer:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $67,800

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the Effect of Each Transaction on the Three Basic Accounting Elements.

From attached excel file, the resulting accounting equation can be computed as follows

Assets = Total Cash + Total Insurance Prepaid + Total Van + Total  Supplies + Total Accounts Receivable = $17,380 + $750 + $35,000 + $470 + $14,200 = $67,800

Liabilities = Total Accounts Payable = $30,000

Owner’s Equity  = Total Capital + Total Retained earnings = $16,500 + $21,300 = $37,800

Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $30,000 + $37,800 = $67,800

Therefore, we have:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $67,800

a. Symbolic orientation.
b. Human Resource orientation.
c. Structural orientation
d. Political orientation.

Answers

Explanation:

Suppose that a bank has ​$80 in checkable​ deposits, reserves of ​$15 ​, and a reserve requirement of​ 10%. Also assume that the the bank suffers a ​$6 deposit outflow. If the bank chooses to borrow from the Fed to meet its reserve​ requirement, then the bank would need to borrow ​$nothing . ​(Round your response to the nearest two decimal​ place.)

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the amount of borrowing that's required will be:

= [ rr * ( D - O)] - (R-O)

where,

rr = reserve requirement = 10% = 0.1

D = checkable deposits = $80

R = reserves = $15

O = deposits outflow = $6

= [ 0.10 × ($80 - $6)] - ($15 - $6)

= [ 0.10 × $74 ] - $9

= $7.4 - $9

= -$1.60

1000 par value 5 year bond with 8% semiannual coupons was boughtto yield 7.5% convertible semiannually. Determine the amount of premiumamortized in the six

Answers

Answer:

$2.08

Explanation:

First calculate the price of the bond

Price of the bond = [ ( 1000 x 8% x 6/12 ) x ( ( 1 - ( 1 + (7.5%x6/12) )^-(5x2) )/(7.5%x6/12) ] + { 1000 / (7.5%x6/12) ]

Politicalization of Accounting Standards
Some accountants have said that politicization in the development and acceptance of generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., rule-making) is taking place. Think about the term more broadly to mean the compromise that results when the bodies responsible for developing generally accepted accounting principles (FASB) are pressured by interest groups (SEC, American Accounting Association, businesses through their various organizations, Institute of Management Accountants, financial analysts, bankers, lawyers, and so on).
Required:
a. The Committee on Accounting Procedure of the AICPA was established in the mid to late 1930s and functioned until 1959, at which time the Accounting Principles Board came into existence. In 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board was formed, and the APB went out of existence. Do the reasons these groups were formed, their methods of operation while in existence, and the reasons for the demise of the first two indicate an increasing politicalization (as the term is used in the broad sense) of accounting standard setting?

Answers

Answer: Some accountants have said that politicization in the development and acceptance of generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., rule-making) is taking place. Some use the term “politicization” in a narrow sense to mean the influence by governmental agencies, particularly the Securities and Exchange Commission, on the development of generally accepted accounting principles. Others use it more broadly to mean the compromise that results when the bodies responsible for developing generally accepted accounting principles are pressured by interest groups (SEC, American Accounting Association, businesses through their various organizations, Institute of Management Accountants, financial analysts, bankers, lawyers, and so on).

Instructions

(a) The Committee on Accounting Procedure of the AICPA was established in the mid- to late 1930s

and functioned until 1959, at which time the Accounting Principles Board came into existence. In

1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board was formed and the APB went out of existence.

(b) What arguments can be raised to support the “politicization” of accounting rule-making?

(c) What arguments can be raised against the “politicization” of accounting rule-making?

Solution

a) CAP. The Committee on Accounting Procedure, CAP, which was in existence from 1939 to 1959, was a natural outgrowth of AICPA committees which were in existence during the period 1933 to 1938. The committee was formed in direct response to the criticism received by the accounting profession during the financial crisis of 1929 and the years thereafter. The authorization to issue pronouncements on matters of accounting principles and procedures was based on the belief that the AICPA had the responsibility to establish practices that would become generally accepted by the profession and by corporate management.

Case :
"Dear Mr. President—Please Cancel our Project!": The Honolulu Elevated Rail Project

This case is a great current example of a very expensive project that was kicked off because of an assumed need—to relieve congestion in downtown Honolulu through an elevated urban rail system. Critics argue that in addition to having a ballooning cost, the actual planning was poorly conceived, leaving Honolulu with an intrusive and ugly rail system through the downtown area, ruining panoramic views, and impeding traffic. Additionally, advocates underestimated the power needs for the rail system, requiring the transport authority to renegotiate electricity fees for the system. Finally, the original costs that were assumed for the project were calculated during an economic downturn and with the economy booming again, the costs of the project have gone up dramatically. All of these elements points to a state Governor who is anxious to be rid of the project and hoping that President Trump will deny additional federal funding, in which case the project will likely be cancelled.

Required:
a. Why are public works projects like the Honolulu Rail project nearly impossible to stop once they have been approved, even if later cost estimates skyrocket?
b. Project Management researchers have charged that many large infrastructure projects, like this one, suffer from "delusion" and "deception" on the parts of their advocates. Explain how "delusion" might be a cause of ballooning budgets in this project. How does "deception" affect the final project budget overruns?

Answers

Answer:

a.The project has been approved and it has been proved necessary.

b. They often choose the cheapest budget and do not forecast any problems  in to make the project more viable.

Explanation:

a.There's an extensive process to approve a project like this, since it has so many filters before being approved, canceling it would be saying these filters failed. These filters exist to prove that these projects are necessary and if they're necessary they need to be done, no matter the cost.

b. THe people in charge of setting these projects going often choose the cheapest options to make the projects viable, when doing so the cost will eventually rise and, when the government has already approved it they will continue to spend money on the project.

= $3,262,000

Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5 percent per year thereafter.
If the required return on this stock is 15 percent, what is the current share price?

Answers

Answer:

$51.25

Explanation:

P9 = Next dividend / Required rate r - Growth rate g

P9 = $15 / 14% - 5%

P9 = $15 / 9%

P9 = $166.67

Po = P9 / (1 - Required rate of return)^9

Po = $166.67 / (1 + 0.14)^9

Po = $166.67 / 3.2519

Po = $51.25

So, the current stock price is $51.25.

Analysts estimate that a bond has a 40 percent probability of being priced at $950 and a 60 percent probability of being priced at $1,050 one year from today. The bond is also callable at any time at $1,010. What is the expected value of this bond in one year?
A) $1,000
B) $980
C) $1,010
D) $995
E) $986

Answers

Answer:

E) $986

Explanation:

The computation of the expected value of the bond in one year is shown below;

= (Probability × Price of bond) + (Probability × Callable price bond)

= (0.4 × $950) + (0.60 × $1,010)

= $986

Hence, the expected value of the bond in one year is $986

Therefore the correct option is E.

b. Restate the financial statements and recognize the loss in the earliest period of the engagement
c. Use the percentage of completion method to recognize the loss over the remaining term of the engagement.
d. Recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement
e. None of the above

Answers

Answer: D. Recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement

Explanation:

A fixed rate contract is the contract whereby the payment amount isn't dependent on the resources or the time that were used.

Since there's evidence that a fixed-rate contract is over budget and will generate a loss for the firm, the manager should recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

BBB Leasing purchased a machine for $280,000 and leased it to Jack Tupp Auto Repair on January 1, 2021. Lease description: Quarterly rental payments $16,427 at beginning of each period Lease term 5 years (20 quarters) No residual value; no BPO Economic life of machine 5 years Implicit interest rate 7% Fair value of asset $280,000 What is the balance in the lease payable account after the April 1, 2021, lease payment

Answers

Answer: $251758.53

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question,

Total lease liability = $280,000

Then, the balance in the lease payable account when the first lease payment takes place on January 1, 2021 will be:

= $280,000 - $16,427

= $263573

The, the interest that is included in the lease payment that's made on April 1, 2021 Will be:

= $263573 x 7% x 1/4

= $4612.53

Then, the principal amount that's included in the lease payment made on April 1, 2021 will be:

= $16,427 - $4612.53

= $11814.47

Therefore, the balance in the lease payable account after the April 1, 2021, lease payment will be:

= $263573 - $11814.47

= $251758.53

Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wanted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?

a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct

Answers

Answer:

Logan Horse Ranch

The most accurate is:

e. None of the above are correct

Explanation:

Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible.  Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour.  With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct.  This leaves only option E as the most accurate.

Required:
Record the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.

Answers

Answer:

Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.

In the attached excel file, we have:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155

Explanation:

In the attached excel file, we have:

Sales tax payable on sales for November Year 1 = $65,500 * 9% = $5,895

Sales tax payable on sales for December Year 1 = $79,500 * 9% = $7,155

Assets = $152,155

Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $7,155 + $145,000 = $152,155

Therefore, the accounting equation is proved as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
