Halifax Manufacturing allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 90 days after delivery and receive a credit to their accounts. All of Halifax's sales are for credit (no cash is collected at the time of sale). The company began 2018 with an allowance for sales returns of $400,000. During 2018, Halifax sold merchandise on account for $12,500,000. This merchandise cost Halifax $8,750,000 (70% of selling prices). Also during the year, customers returned $613,000 in sales for credit. Sales returns, estimated to be 5% of sales, are recorded as an adjusting entry at the end of the year. Required: 1. Prepare an entry to record actual merchandise returns as they occur (not adjusting the allowance for sales returns), and then record a year-end entry to adjust the allowance for sales returns to its appropriate balance. 2. What is the amount of the year-end allowance for sales returns after the adjusting entry is recorded?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Please refer to the below explanations.

Explanation:

A.

Sales return and allowance a/c Dr $613,000

To accounts receivable A/c Cr $613,000

(Being retuned goods that is recorded)

Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $429,100

($613,000 × 70%)

To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $429,100

(Being cost of goods sold that was recorded)

Estimated return is therefore;

= Sale value of merchandise × return percentage - actual return

= $12,500,000 × 5% - $613,000

= $625,000 - $613,000

= $12,000

B.

Sales return and allowance A/c Dr $12,000

To accounts receivable A/c Cr $12,000

(Being returned goods that were recorded)

Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $8,400

($12,000 × 70%)

To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $8,400

(Being cost of goods sold that were recorded)

Therefore, the computation for the year end allowance for sales return is same as $8,400.

If Konrad Corporation uses the units of production method of depreciation, what will be the debit to Depreciation Expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, assuming that during this period, the asset was used 6,000 hours?

A. $166,667

B. $97,200

C. $162,000

D. $171,333

Answer:

The depreciation expense for the year is $162000. Thus, option C is the correct answer

Explanation:

The depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life. The depreciation can be calculated using various methods. Under the units of production method, the depreciation expense for the period is calculated using the following formula,

Depreciation expense = [(Cost - Residual value) / Total estimated production units] * Units produced in a particular period

Depreciation expense = [(500000 - 14000) / 18000] * 6000

Depreciation expense = $162000

Your first baby was born yesterday and is healthy and strong. To guard against your premature death, you want to purchase a life insurance policy that will replace $58,000 of your annual income until your child is 20 years old. How much life insurance should you purchase, if you assume a 3% inflation rate

Answers

Answer:

assuming the  interest rate is = 15% the  life insurance should you should purchase = $497854.0773

Explanation:

Given that :

Annual income receipt = $58000

Assumption:

If we assume that the inflation rate π = 3% = 0.03

Also , let assume that the interest rate is = 15%  = 0.15 since it is not given too

Then the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (i-\pi)}{(1+\pi)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.15-0.03)}{(1+0.03)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.12)}{(1.03)}[/tex]

the effective interest rate = 0.1165

the effective interest rate = 11.65%

Since n = [tex]\infty[/tex]

The Principal amount of how much life insurance should you purchase is;

= Annual income receipt/the effective interest rate

= $58000/ 0.1165

= $497854.0773

Rather than crediting the Unearned rent account for $400 of prepaid rent received from a customer, which explains an alternate recording procedure to journalize this receipt?

Answers

Answer:

Record receipt with a credit to the rent revenue account

Any unused portion of the prepayment still existing at the end of the period will be transferred to the Unearned rent account

Explanation:

Prepaid rent is an income that is to be earned at a future date. Since income is normally recorded as a revenue when it is earned, we usually credit Unearned Rent account.

However financial statements are made at end of a defined period (for example monthly, quarterly, biannually, or yearly).

The journal entry can be credited to the Rent Revenue account directly. At the end of the period the amount earned is retained in the account, and the unearned portion of the prepaid rent is transferred to the Unearned Rent account.

So financial statements will only recognise earned income when prepared.

A. a prepayment penalty will be charged

B. he or she will receive par value of the principal plus accrued interest

C. the CD may not be redeemed prior to maturity

D. the customer will receive the market value plus accrued interest

Answer:

D. the customer will receive the market value plus accrued interest.

Explanation:

In this scenario, a customer owns a long-term negotiable certificate of deposit (CD). If the customer wishes to tender the CD prior to maturity, the registered representative should inform the customer that the customer will receive the market value plus accrued interest.

Generally, in the stock markets when a customer wishes to withdraw his or her funds on any brokered CD, there are no penalties for such actions or choice. The registered representative should pro-rate the amount of interest earned by the customer over the period of time for the deposit.

You observe a portfolio for five years and determine that its average return is 11.3​% and the standard deviation of its returns in 19.7​%. Would a​ 30% loss next year be outside the​ 95% confidence interval for this​ portfolio?

Answers

Answer:

-28.1%

Explanation:

Calculation for what would a​ 30% loss next year be outside the​ 95% confidence interval for the​ portfolio

The standard deviation of 95% confident will be 2

The first step is to find the Upper tail using this formula

Upper tail= Average return percentage +(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)

Let plug in the formula

Upper tail=0.113+(2*0.197)

Upper tail =0.113+0.394

Upper tail=0.507*100

Upper tail =50.7%

Second step is to find the Lower tail using this formula

Lower tail=Average return percentage -(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)

Let plug in the formula

Upper tail=0.113-(2*0.197)

Upper tail =0.113-0.394

Upper tail=-0.281*100

Upper tail =28.1%

Based on the above calculation the lower tail was -28.1% which means that it wouldn't in any way loss more than the 30% of it value next year outside the​ 95% confidence interval for the portfolio

If the economy is normal, Charleston Freight stock is expected to return 16.5 percent. If the economy falls into a recession, the stock's return is projected at a negative 11.6 percent. The probability of a normal economy is 70 percent while the probability of a recession is 30 percent. What is the variance of the returns on this stock

Answers

Answer:

Variance of the returns of this stock is  0.01658177

Explanation:

Mean return = 0.7 * 16.5% + 0.3*-11.6%

Mean return =  0.1155 - 0.0348

Mean return = 0.0807

Mean return = 8.07%

Variance of the return = 0.7 * (16.5%-8.07%)^2 + 0.3 * (-11.6%-8.07%)^2

Variance of the return = 0.7 * (8.43%)^2 + 0.3 * (-19.67%)^2

Variance of the return = 0.7 * (0.0843)^2 + 0.3 * (-0.1967)^2

Variance of the return = 0.0049745 + 0.011607267

Variance of the return = 0.01658177

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 =  $-450,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $95,000

Cash flow in year 5 = $95,000 + $60,000 = $155,000

IRR = 5.62%

Idaho would reject the project because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

October sales are expected to be 73,000 units. Budgeted sales for September would be (in units):

Answers

Answer:

56,500 units

Explanation:

The computation of Budgeted sales for September is shown below:-

we assume the no. of units sold in September be ‘x’

Budgeted Production production for September = Budgeted sale for September + desired ending inventory for September – Beginning Inventory for September

58,150 = x units + (73,000 × 10%) - (x units of Sept. × 10%)

58,150 = x + 7,300 - 0.10x

58,150 - 7300 = 0.9x

50,850 = 0.9x

x = 50850 ÷ 0.9

x = 56,500 units

- fixed expenses = $75,000

net income = $27,600

e) 20.38%

f.1) 30%

f.2) $22,800

Explanation:

                                                       Total          Per unit

Sales                                            $314,000        $20

Variable expenses                     $219,800         $14

Contribution margin                    $94,200          $6

Fixed expenses                           $75,000

Net operating income                 $19,200

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $75,000 / $6 = 12,500 units

units needed to yield expected profits = (fixed costs + expected profits) / contribution margin = ($75,000 + $27,600) / $6 = 17,100 units

margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($314,000 - $250,000) / $314,000 = 20.38%

contribution margin ratio = (total revenue - variable costs) / total revenue = ($314,000 - $219,800) / $314,000 = 30%

$76,000 x 30% = $22,800

The monthly break-even point in unit sales is 12,500 units. The total contribution margin at the break-even point is $75,000.

c) 17,100 units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of S27,600.

d) total sales revenue of $342,000

- variable costs = -$239,400

contribution margin = $102,600

- fixed expenses = $75,000

net income = $27,600

Annual demand for a product is 13,000 units; weekly demand is 250 units with a standard deviation of 40 units. The cost of placing an order is $100, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.65 per unit.a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?

Answers

Answer:

a. Reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.

b. the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.

Explanation:

a. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be?

This can be calculated as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of optimal order quantity

The optimal order quantity also known as economic order quantity (EOQ) using the following formula:

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 *D*O}{C} }[/tex] ........................................... (1)

Where,

EOQ = Optimal order quantity = ?

D = Annual demands = 13,000

O = Ordering cost = $100

C = Carrying cost of annual inventory = $0.65 per unit

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2*13,000*100}{0.65} }[/tex]

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2,600,000}{0.65} }[/tex]

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{4,000,000}[/tex]

EOQ = 2,000 units

Step 2: Calculation of standard deviation during the lead time

This can be calculated using the following formula:

[tex]SL = \sqrt{L*(S)^{2} }[/tex] ................................................. (2)

Where;

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = ?

L = Lead time = 4

S = Standard deviation = 40

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

[tex]SL = \sqrt{4 *(40)^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]SL = \sqrt{4*1,600}[/tex]

[tex]SL =\sqrt{6.400}[/tex]

SL = 80

Also, z = 2.05 from the standard normal distribution

Step 3: Calculation of reorder point

Total calculate reorder point, we use the following formula:

R = (d * L) + (z * SL) ............................................ (3)

Where;

R = Reorder point = ?

d = Weekly demand = 250

L = Lead time = 4

z = 2.05

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

R = (250 * 4) + (2.05 * 80)

R = 1,000 + 164

R = 1,164 units

Therefore, reorder point is 1,164 units to provide a 98 percent service probability.

b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 100 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?

ISS = Initial safety stock = z * SL = 2.05 * 80 = 164

If the safety stock is reduced by 100 units, we have:

NSS = New safety stock = ISS - 100 = 164 - 100 = 64

The new z (nz) can be obtained as follows:

NSS = nz * SL ................................................. (4)

Where;

NSS = 64

nz = new z = ?

SL = Standard deviation during the lead time = 80

Substituting the values into equation (4) and solve for nz, we have:

64 = nz * 80

nz = 64 / 80

nz = 0.80

For the new z, nz = 0.80, from Standard Normal distribution, the new service probability is 79%.

Therefore, the new service probability will be 79% if production manager reduces the safety stock by 100 units.

Team cohesiveness is mostly seen in teams that perform highly. People in such teams are usually more likely to cooperate and they have an effective way of achieving their set objectives.

Team cohesiveness would have members of a team acting together rather than individually. It is an interpersonal relationship that is alive within members of the group and this pushes and motivates them to participate more and do what is necessary to achieve all of their objectives.

Answers

Answer: 30,000; $110

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that someone own 5% of Coastal Corporation's 400,000 outstanding common shares and that the stock was trading for $165 per share before Coastal executives announced a 3-for-2 stock split.

The share owned after the split will be:

= 5% × 400,000 × (3/2)

The FREC is investigating a claim by a buyer that the broker had not given the proper disclosure to the buyer before the buyer purchased a home. The broker has paperwork dating back three years from the date of the signing of the document in question, and one year after the legal action of the case. Is the broker protected?

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The Florida Real Estate Commission was constituted in 1926. Members are appointed by the Governor.

The aim of FREC is to protect ye public from bad practices by brokers. They have the authority to impose disciplinary action on lisensees.

According to requirement of the FREC the broker is required to keep records of transactions 5 years after the transaction occurred and 2 years after any legal action.

In this case the broker kept his records 3 years after the transaction and 1 year after legal action.

So he is not protected from disciplinary action by the FREC

Kate is in the 15% tax bracket and has $29,000 available for investment during her current tax year. Assume that she remains in the same tax bracket over the next 11 years, and determine the accumulated amount of her investment after taxes if she puts the$29,000 into the following. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)(a) a tax-deferred annuity that pays 4%/year, tax deferred for 11 years$ (b) a taxable instrument that pays 4%/year for 11 years

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The Accumulated amount of her investment atter taxes is

Before that first we have to determine the future value which is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $29,000 × (1 + 0.04)^11

= $44,644.17

And, the tax rate is 15%

So, the after tax value is

= $44,644.17 × (1 - 0.15)

= $37,947.54

b. Now for the second part it is

= Annual cash flows × Annuity factor at 3.4% for 11 years

= $29,000 × 10.638

= $308,502

"When The Bank of Bank County borrows funds from the Federal Reserve; the rate the Fed charges the commercial bank is called the _____ rate."

Answers

Answer: Bank Rate/ Discount Rate

Explanation:

The Bank Rate is the interest rate that the Fed as the country's Central Bank charges commercial banks when they borrow money from it. The loans given are usually short term in nature.

The Bank Rate is a very useful tool in Monetary Policy by the Central Bank. If the Fed for instance would like to increase Economic activity by injecting cash into the economy, they can lower the bank rate and thus encourage more banks to loan money from them which will then be loaned to the public. If the Fed wanted to decrease Economic activity, the reverse would hold true.

Compute net cash provided by operating activities using the indirect approach.

Answers

Answer:

Net Cash flow from operating = $ 1,722,000  

Explanation:

To determine the net cash flow from operating activities. We will adjust the net income as follows; all decrease in assets and increase in liabilities are added and all increase in assets and decrease in liabilities are subtracted.

All non- cash expenses would be added back and all non-cash income would be deducted from the net income. Notable here is depreciation a non-cash expense which must be added back to the net income

This principle is applied below:

                                                                $

Net Income                                        1,400,000

Adjustments:

Add depreciation expense                 224,000

Add decrease in current asset           490,000      

less decrease in current liabilities     (392,000)      

Net Cash flow from operating            1,722,000  

Net Cash flow from operating = $ 1,722,000

Answers

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Caribou Gold Mining Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $6 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 3% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

Caribou Gold mining corporation is expected to make a dividend payment of $6 next year

Dividend are expected to decline at a rate of 3%

= 3/100

= 0.03

The risk free rate of return is 5%

= 5/100

= 0.05

The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%

= 13/100

= 0.13

The beta is 0.5

The first step is to calculate the expected rate of return

= 0.05+0.5(0.13-0.05)

= 0.05+0.5(0.08)

= 0.05+0.04

= 0.09

Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock using the constant growth DDM model can be calculated as follows

Vo= 6/(0.09+0.03)

Vo= 6/0.12

Vo= $50

Hence the intrinsic value of the stock is $50

An asset has had an arithmetic return of 11.9 percent and a geometric return of 9.9 percent over the last 86 years. What return would you estimate for this asset over the next 8 years? 23 years? 39 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

11.74% ; 11.38%; 11.01%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Arithmetic return (Ar) = 11.9%

Geometric return (Gr) = 9.9%

N = 86 years = Past period

A) Return in the next 8 years

T = future period = 8 years

Return = (T - 1) / (N - 1) * Geometric average + (N - T) / (N - 1) * Arithmetic average.

Return = (8 - 1) / (86 - 1) * 0.099 + (86 - 8) / (86 - 1) * 0.119

(0.0823529 * 0.099) + (0.9176470 * 0.119)

= 0.1173529301

= 0.1173529301 * 100 = 11.74%

B) over the next 23 years

T = 23 years

Return = (T - 1) / (N - 1) * Geometric average + (N - T) / (N - 1) * Arithmetic average.

Return = (23 - 1) / (86 - 1) * 0.099 + (86 - 23) / (86 - 1) * 0.119

(0.2588235 * 0.099) + (0.7411764 * 0.119)

= 0.1138235181

= 0.1138235181 * 100 = 11.38%

C.) over 39 years

F = 39 years

Return = (T - 1) / (N - 1) * Geometric average + (N - T) / (N - 1) * Arithmetic average.

Return = (39 - 1) / (86 - 1) * 0.099 + (86 - 39) / (86 - 1) * 0.119

(0.4470588 * 0.099) + (0.5529411 * 0.119)

= 0.1100588121

= 0.1100588121 * 100 = 11.01%
