Answers

Answer:

$92,200

Explanation:

Calculation for Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015

Using this formula

Projected benefit obligation=Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation + Service costs +(Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation × Discount rate)- Pension benefit

Let plug in the formula

Projected benefit obligation= $72,000 + $28,000 + ($72,000 × .10) -$15,000

Projected benefit obligation=$72,000 + $28,000 + $7,200-$15,000

Projected benefit obligation= $107,200-$15,000

Projected benefit obligation=$92,200

Therefore Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015 will be $92,200

​Norwood, Inc. signs a ​, ​%, sixmonth note dated November​ 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be​ ________. (Do not round any intermediate​ calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Norwood Company

Norwood Company signs a​ $11,000, 8.5%,​ six-month note dated November​ 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be​ ___$156_____. (Do not round any intermediate​ calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Note Payable = $11,000

Interest rate = 8.5%

Interest expense for a year = 8.5% of $11,000 = $935

Interest expense for 2 months (from November to December) = $935/12 * 2 = $156

b) Interest expense represents the annual expense that must be incurred for the use of resources which the Norwood, Inc. obtained through the signing of the six month note.  Interest on notes are computed based on an annual basis unless otherwise stated.  The 8.5% is per annum.  So, when the interest and principal are being repaid in six month's time, Norwood, Inc. should have accrued interest for six months, which will amount to $467.

Jerry, a partner with 30 percent capital and profits interest, received his Schedule K-1 from Plush Pillows, LP. At the beginning of the year, Jerry's tax basis in his partnership interest was $44,000. His current-year Schedule K-1 reported an ordinary loss of $9,000, long-term capital gain of $4,600, qualified dividends of $3,600, $2,100 of non-deductible expenses, a $26,000 cash contribution, and a reduction of $5,600 in his share of partnership debt. What is Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest (outside basis) at the end of the year

Answers

Answer: $61,500

Explanation:

Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is determined by adding his cash contributions, long-term capital gain, and qualified dividends to the original tax basis.

There will also be deductions of the non-deductible expenses, ordinary loss and his share of the reduction in partnership debt.

Jerry's adjusted basis at the end of the year = ( 44,000 + 26,000 + 3,600 4,600) - ( 2,100 + 9,000 + 5,600)

= 78,200 - 16,700

A publishing company sells 1,250,000 copies of certain books each year. It costs the company $1 to store each book for a year. Each time it must print additional​ copies, it costs the company $250 to set up the presses. How many books should the company produce during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup​ costs

Answers

Answer:

The Company should produce 25,000 books

Explanation:

The production size that minimizes total storage and setup costs is known as the optimum batch size.

Optimum batch size = √(2 × Annual Production Demand × Set up Cost) / Storage Cost per unit

                                  = √ (2 × 1,250,000 × $250) / $1

                                  = 25,000 books

Conclusion :

The Company should produce 25,000 books during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup​ costs.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00% The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years. Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below: Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price Year 1 40,000 $80.00 Year 2 50,000 $75.00 Year 3 35,000 $50.00 Year 4 25,000 $45.00 What is the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model

Answers

Answer:

Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4

Explanation:

Given that:

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%

The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:

Year                  Sales volume (units)                   Unit selling price

Year 1                       40,000                                 $80.00

Year 2                      50,000                                 $75.00

Year 3                     35,000                                   $50.00

Year 4                      25,000                                  $45.00

The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.

The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:

= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)

For Year 1

=  $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)

= $80.00 - $16.00

= $64.00

For Year 2

= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)

= $75.00 - ( $15.00)

= $60.00

Year 3

= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)

= $50.00 - $10.00

= $40.00

Year 4

= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)

=$45.00 - $9.00

= $36.00

Year       Sales volume    Unit                Cost          Cost per Unit

                (units)             selling price  

Year 1       40,000          $80.00          $64.00       $2560000

Year 2      50,000          $75.00          $60.00       $3000000

Year 3      35,000          $50.00          $40.00        $1400000

Year 4       25,000          $45.00         $36.00        $900000

Total:        150000                                                    $7860000

Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000

Allowable unit cost = 52.4

d. Net foreign investment for the United States is positive.
e. Net exports for Europe arc zero.
f. Exports from the United States equal imports into the United States.

Answers

Answer:

United States and Europe

Determination of United States having a trade deficit, balanced trade, or a trade surplus:

a. Trade surplus (investment surplus)

b. No effect on trade surplus or deficit

c. Trade surplus

d. Investment surplus

e. Balanced trade

f. Balanced trade

Explanation:

The United States experiences a trade surplus when its exports to Europe is higher than the imports from Europe, whether it is for goods, services, or investments.

On the other hand, the United States will experience a trade deficit when its imports from Europe are more than its export to Europe.

The US and Europe will have some advantages and disadvantages to having a trade deficit or surplus.  When the US experiences a surplus, the exchange rate between the two continents increases in favor of the US.  However, there will a reduction of the competitiveness of the US exports as higher prices will be incurred by Europe for US exports.

interest received on municipal bonds $9,300

unearned rent revenue = $42,800

deferred tax asset = $42,800 x 0.4 = $17,120

total pretax financial income = $742,500 + $9,300 + $124,000 - $42,800 = $833,000

A coworker of Connor​'s recommends that she maximize the shelf space devoted to those drinks with the highest contribution margin per case. Do you agree with this​ recommendation? Explain briefly.

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.

During the most recent week, the company prepared 4,800 of these meals using 2,350 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $23,500 for this work, or $10.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.50 direct labor-hours at a cost of $9.40 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,800 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 4,800 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?

Answers

Answer:Please find answers in the explanation column

Explanation:

a)standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,800 meals

standard labor-hours =Actual output X standard direct labor hours

      4,800 X  0.50 = 2,400hours

B) standard labor cost allowed

direct labor-hours per houR =  $9.40

standard labor-hours = 2,400

standard labor cost =direct labor-hours per houR xstandard labor hours

= $9.40 x 2,400=  $22,560

c) labor spending variance= Actual cost incurred - Standard Labor cost

                                         = 23,500 - 22,560= 940 -- Which is unfavorable because the actual is cost is greater than the standard labor cost

D)the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?

labor rate variance= (Actual rate - standard rate ) X Actual hours

                                     ($10.00 -$9.40) X 2,350= $1,410

Labor efficiency variance=(Actual hrs - standard hrs allowed) x standard rate

      2,350- 2,400) X  $9.40= $470   --- Favourable as the actual hours used is less than the standard hours .

Justin and Lauren are equal partners in the PJenn Partnership. The partners formed the partnership seven years ago by contributing cash. Prior to any distributions, the partners have the following bases in their partnership interests:

Partner Outside Basis
Justin $22,000
Lauren 22,000

On December 31 of the current year, the partnership makes a pro rata operating distribution of:

Partner Distribution
Justin Cash $25,000
Lauren Cash $18000
Property 9,000 (FMV)
($2,000 to partnership)

Requried:
a. What is the amount and character of Justin's recognized gain or loss?
b. What is Justin's remaining basis in his partnership interest?
c. What is the amount and character of Lauren's recognized gain or loss?
d. What is Lauren's basis in the distributed assets?
e. What is Lauren's remaining basis in her partnership interest?

Answers

Answer:

PJenn Partnership

a. The amount and character of Justin's recognized gain or loss:

Justin has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000).  The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.

b. Justin's remaining basis in his partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.

c. The amount and character of Lauren's recognized gain or loss:

Lauren has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000).  The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.

d. Lauren's basis in the distributed assets is $22,000, which is her outside basis.

e.Lauren's remaining basis in her partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Partner Outside Basis    Partner Distribution

Justin $22,000              $25,000 cash

Lauren 22,000             $18,000 cash + $7,000 in property

Property $2,000 to Partnership

Justin and Lauren's recognized gain or loss is determined by the amount of the sale minus the partner's interest, which is often referred to as the partner's outside basis.

Justin's and Lauren's remaining basis in the partnership is the amount of the fair market value of property remaining after Lauren's share in the property.

Discuss the negative consequences that arise when auditors fail to identify and report going-concern problems.

Answers

Answer:

Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:

1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.

2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.

3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.

4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.

5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.

6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.

Explanation:

For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company.  Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future.   That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.

The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages  and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit. The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $107 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit.

The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (102 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 17,248 units

Now, the selling price is $107:

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (107 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 15,488 units

A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated can void the contract if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
a. true
b. false

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated cannot void the contract even if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.

By law, an individual can void a contract entered into while under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated, only if he or she doesn't understand or comprehend the legal consequences binding on the parties involved in the contract.

Hence, a contract is legally binding and enforceable even if one of the parties was intoxicated at the time of its formation.

The manager of a savings and loan branch wants to estimate the average amount held in passbook savings accounts by the branch bank depositors. A random sample of 25 depositors is selected, and the results indicate a sample average of $4,750 and a sample standard deviation of $1,200. Given the 95% confidence interval estimates calculated above, if an individual had $4,000 ina passbook savings account, is this considered unusual?
a. Yes
b. Maybe
c. Do not know
d. No

Answers

Answer:

Correct answer:

d. No

Explanation:

This is because, from the random sample that was done, it shows that the average money held by customers falls within $3550 - $5950 which averages $4750 (Factoring in the standard deviation of $1200). Therefore, it is not considered unusual if an individual had $4000 since it falls within the range of amount held by most depositors and customers of the said bank.

Suppose that a worker in Boatland can produce either 5 units of wheat or 25 units of fish per year, and a worker in Farmland can produce either 25 units of wheat or 5 units of fish per year. There are 30 workers in each country. No trade occurs between the two countries. Boatland produces and consumes 75 units of wheat and 375 units of fish per year while Farmland produces and consumes 375 units of wheat and 75 units of fish per year. If trade were to occur, Boatland would trade 90 units of fish to Farmland in exchange for 80 units of wheat. If Boatland now completely specializes in fish production, how many units of fish could it now consume along with the 80 units of imported wheat?

Answers

Answer:

660 units of fish

Explanation:

Boatland's production = 150 units of wheat or 750 units of fish

opportunity cost of producing fish = 150/750 = 0.2 units of wheat

opportunity cost of producing wheat = 750/150 = 5 units of fish

Farmland's production = 750 units of wheat or 150 units of fish

opportunity cost of producing fish = 750/150 = 5 units of wheat

opportunity cost of producing wheat = 150/750 = 0.2 units of fish

If Boatland trades 90 units of fish in exchange for 80 units of wheat, its remaining production will be = 750 (maximum possible production of fish) - 90 (units traded) = 660 units of fish

What is the expected return if a firm has a payout ratio of 0.4, a return on equity of 25%, and a dividend yield of 15%

Answers

Answer:

The expected return on stock is 30%

Explanation:

Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio

Growth rate = Return on Equity * (1- Payout ratio)

Growth rate = 25% * (1 - 0.40)

Growth rate = 0.25 * 0.60

Growth rate =  0.15

Growth rate =  15%

Hence, Expected return = Dividend return + Growth rate

Expected return = 15% + 15%

Expected return = 30%

Therefore, the expected return on stock is 30%

Express answer in Joules Read the following letter carefully before you choose your answer. The following is a letter written by an already established Voltaire to a young and newly published author, M. Helvetius, in 1739. (1) My dear friendthe friend of Truth and the Musesyour Epistle is full of bold reasoning in advance of your age, and still more in advance of those craven writers who rhyme for the book-sellers and restrict themselves within the compass of a royal censor, who is either jealous of them, or more cowardly than they are themselves. (2) What are they but miserable birds, with their wings close clipped, who, longing to soar, are for ever falling back to earth, breaking their legs! You have a fearless genius, and your work sparkles with imagination. I much prefer your generous faults to the mediocre prettinesses with which we are cloyed. If you will allow me to tell you where I think you can improve yourself in your art, I should say: Beware, lest in attempting the grand, you overshoot the mark and fall into the grandiose: only employ true similes: and be sure always to use exactly the right word. (3) Shall I give you an infallible little rule for verse? Here it is. When a thought is just and noble, something still remains to be done with it: see if the way you have expressed it in verse would be effective in prose: and if your verse, without the swing of the rhyme, seems to you to have a word too manyif there is the least defect in the constructionif a conjunction is forgottenif, in brief, the right word is not used, or not used in the right place, you must then conclude that the jewel of your thought is not well set. Be quite sure that lines which have any one of these faults will never be learnt by heart, and never re-read: and the only good verses are those which one rereads and remembers, in spite of oneself. There are many of this kind in your "Epistle"lines which no one else in this generation can write at your age such as were written fifty years ago. (4) Do not be afraid, then, to bring your talents to a Parnassus1; they will undoubtedly redound to your credit because you never neglect your duties; for them: they are themselves very pleasant duties. Surely, those your position demand of you must be very uncongenial to such a nature as yours. They are as much routine as looking after a house, or the housebook of one's steward.
