In the liquidation of a partnership, any gain or loss on the realization of non-cash assets should be allocated:_____.
a. first to creditors and the remainder to partners.
b. to the partners on the basis of their capital balances.
c. only after all creditors have been paid.
d. to the partners on the basis of their income-sharing ratio.
Answer:
D. To the partners on the basis of their income-sharing ratio.
Explanation:
Partnership liquidation can be easily seen to come into existence indefinitely through periodic changes within the ownership, they are seen to occur by circumstances which are totally uncommon occurrence.
The form of the dissolution is irrelevant, whether by absenting by personal decision of individual member or wholesale departure and formal liquidation. The end result will be the same. The primary dream of these harmonious and synchronical growth of the firm will be seen to come to an end.
This is why it is best shared to the partners on the basis of their income sharing ratio.

Allied Merchandisers was organized on May 1. Macy Co. is a major customer (buyer) of Allied (seller) products.
May 3 Allied made its first and only purchase of inventory for the period on May 3 for 2,000 units at a price of $10 cash per unit (for a total cost of $20,000).
5 Allied sold 1,500 of the units in inventory for $14 per unit (invoice total: $21,000) to Macy Co. under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost Allied $15,000.
7 Macy returns 125 units because they did not fit the customer’s needs (invoice amount: $1,750). Allied restores the units, which cost $1,250, to its inventory.
8 Macy discovers that 200 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied sends Macy a credit memorandum for $300 toward the original invoice amount to compensate for the damage.

After then, the general ledger is utilized to produce the company's financial statements. The idea behind a journal entry is to use double-entry accounting, which requires that every company transaction be recorded at least twice.
For instance, when you make a cash sale, the revenue account and the cash account are both increased. Alternatively, if you purchase items on credit, this raises both the accounts payable and inventory accounts.

You want to make a one-time deposit today that will increase in value to $100 at the end of this year. Which rate of interest will allow you to deposit the least amount today to reach this goal
Answer:
The rate of interest is 11.111%
The Deposit should be $90 today.
The future value at the end of this year will be $100.
Explanation:
Future value of $100
Present value of $100 at 11.111% = $100/11.111 = $90
The future value of a deposit today is the value after a period of one year or so periods. The rate of interest produces the discount factor that can calculate the present value of $100. To make a one-time deposit of $90 today will increase in value to $100 using an interest rate of 11.111%.
Sager Industries is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $1,200,000 with a $300,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace three employees who has an average total wages of $180,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $7,500 per year.
Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Answer:
Average rate of return = 11%
Explanation:
Depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Residual value) / Useful years
Depreciation = (1,200,000-300,000) / 10
Depreciation = 90,000
Increase in net annual income = 180,000 - 90,000 - 7,500
Increase in net annual income = 82,500
Average investment = (1,200,000 + 300,000) / 2 = 750,000
Average rate of return = Increase in net annual income / Average investment
Average rate of return = 82,500/750,000
Average rate of return = 0.11
Average rate of return = 11%

(net) 650,000 765,000 Liabilities 255,000 255,000 Lake would record goodwill of
Answer:
Lake would record goodwill of $365,000
Explanation:
Fair value of net assets = Fair value of current asset + Fair value of property, plant and equipment
Fair value of net assets = $125,000 + $765,000
Fair value of net assets = $890,000
Fair market value = Fair value of net assets - Liabilities assumed
Fair market value = $890,000 - 255,000
Fair market value = $635,000
Goodwill = Consideration - Fair market value
= $1,000,000 - $635,000
= $365,000
Hence, the amount of goodwill is $365,000.
Suppose that on August 14, 2019, an antique woven rug handmade in Canada is priced at CAD 1,100. The approximate U.S. dollar price of the rug would be
Answer:
USD 825.95Explanation:
Step one:
To tackle this problem we need data from historical chart.
From historical chart, on August 14, 2019, 1 USD is equivalent to CAD 1.3318
Step two:
From the historical data we need to perform conversion on the data to get the USD equivalent of the CAD given in the problem
Hence
if 1 USD = CAD 1.3318 then
x USD = CAD 1,100
by cross multiplying we have
x USD= 1,100/ 1.3318
x USD= 825.95
Hence as at August 14, 2019 CAD 1,100 is USD 825.95

changed its estimates to a total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $81000. What is 2021 depreciation expense?
Answer: $162,000
Explanation:
The depreciation expense for the first 3 years up till 2021 is;
= (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= ( 579,000 - 57,000) / 9
= $58,000
In 2021, the Net book value was;
= 579,000 - ( 58,000 * 3)
= 579,000 - 174,000
= $405,000
Useful life has been changed to 5 years. 3 years have already elapsed left with 2.
New salvage value is $81,000.
= (NBV - Salvage Value) / Useful life
= (405,000 - 81,000) / 2
= $162,000

You must decide between $25,000 in cash today or $30,000 in cash to be received two years from now. If you can earn 8 percent interest on your investments, which is the better deal?
Answer:
The deal to receive $30000 is better.
Explanation:
To find the better deal we need to calculate the present value of $30000 and then compare it with the amount $25000. If the amount is greater than the $25000, then the amount should be received after the 2 years.
The given time period (n )= 2
Interest rate (r ) = 8%
The amount received after 2 years = $30000
[tex]\text{Present value of money} = \frac{Future \ value}{(1 + r)^n } \\= \frac{30000}{(1+0.08)^2} \\= $25720.16[/tex]
Since the amount is more than $25000 so the deal to receive the money after 2 years will be better.
An assembly line with 17 tasks is to be balanced. The longest task is 2.4 minutes, and the total time for all tasks is 18 minutes. The line will operate for 450 minutes per day.Required:a. What are the minimum and maximum cycle times? b. What range of daily output is theoretically possible for the line? c. What is the minimum number of workstations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought?d. What cycle time will provide an output rate of 125 units per day?
Answer
a)Minumum cycle time = 2.4 Minutes And Maximum cycle time = 18 Minutes
b)=187.5 units per day and 25 units per day
c) 8 workstation
d)2.6min/cycle
Explanation:
Given:
output rate = 125 units per day
Operating time= 450 minutes per day
What are the minimum and maximum cycle times?
Minimum Cycle time = duration of the longest task
Therefore,Minimum cycle time = 2.4 minutes
Maximum cycle time = addition of the task
Maximum Cycle Time = 18 minutes
Therefore, Minumum cycle time = 2.4 Minutes And Maximum cycle time = 18 Minutes
B)B)What range of daily output is theoretically possible for the line?
Range of daily output = Operating time / minimum Cycle time
At 2.4 minutes Cycletime
= 450/2.4
=187.5 units per day
At Cycle time 18 Minutes
= 450/18
Cycle time 18 minutes = 25 units per day
C)What is the minimum number of workstations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought?
number of workstation=(D× summation of all task)/Operating time
number of workstation=(187.5*18)/450
= 7.5= 8 workstation
D)What cycle time will provide an output rate of 125 units per day?
cycle time= Operating time/output rate
=450/125
= 2.6min/cycle
Yellowstone Corporation has just announced the repurchase of $125,000 of its stock. The company has 39,000 shares outstanding and earnings per share of $3.29. The company stock is currently selling for $76.09 per share. What is the price–earnings ratio after the repurchase?
Answer:
The price–earnings ratio after the repurchase is 22.18
Explanation:
First calculate Numbers of new shares
New Shares = Old Shares - ( Repurchased Shares / Price per share )
New Shares = 39,000 - ( $125,000 / $76.09 )
New Shares = 39,000 - 1,642.79
New Shares = 37,357.21 shares
New compute the old earning
Old Earning = EPS x Numbers of old shares = $3.29 x 39,000 = $128,310
New compute revised Earning per share
Revised EPS = Earning / New shares = $128,310 / 37,357.21 shares = $3.43
Now we need to calculate the Price earning ratio
P/E Ratio = Price per share / Revised earning per share = $76.09 / $3.43 = 22.18 times

Food Shoppe Galore had the following information: Total market value of a company’s stock: $650 million Total market value of the company’s debt: $150 million What is the weighted average of the company’s debt?
Answer:
18.75%
Explanation:
Food Shoppe galore has a total market value stock of $650 million
The total market value of the company's debt is $150 million
The first step is to calculate the total market value of the company's capital
= $150,000,000 + $650,000,000
= $800,000,000
Therefore, the weighted average of the company's debt can be calculated as follows
= $150,000,000/$800,000,000
= 0.1875×100
= 18.75%

A customer wishes to purchase $100,000 face amount of municipal bonds that the broker-dealer does not have in inventory. Under MSRB rules, the firm should:
Answer:
contact enough dealers so that a reasonable market quote is obtained . when a municipal dealer acts in an agency capacity, the price charged must be representative of the market for that type of security. There is no requirement to obtain a pre-set number of quotes (as a contrast, FINRA requires that a minimum of 3 quotes be obtained for non-NASDAQ OTC issues, meaning OTCBB or Pink Sheet issues), nor is there a requirement to direct the customer to a dealer that physically has those bonds. The dealer would not sell short the bonds to the customer, since short covering is very difficult in the thinly traded municipal market.

Answer:
b. $2,000,000 of tax for individuals
Explanation:
Long-term capital gains tax is a tax on profits from the sale of an asset which an investor has held for more than a year. The approved long-term capital gains tax rates are 0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income bracket and whether you are filing as a single or jointly as married. But, an important point to note is that long-term capital gains tax rates are generally lower than short-term capital gains tax rates, thus encouraging investors to hold assets for a longer time. Short-term capital gains tax rates are the rates applicable to the normal individual income tax brackets.

building that has a market value of $366,000; the partnership assumes responsibility for a $133,000 note secured by a mortgage on the property. Monroe invests $108,000 in cash and equipment that has a market value of $83,000. For the partnership, the amounts recorded for Fontaine's Capital account and for Monroe's Capital account are:\
Answer:
Fontaine - $233,000Monroe - $191,000Explanation:
Fontaine invested a building that had a value of $366,000 but the partnership assumes a $133,000 note secured by a mortgage on the property. This therefore reduces Fontaine's contribution;
= 366,000 - 133,000
= $233,000
Monroe contributed both cash and equipment so that would go to Monroe's capital account as their capital contribution;
= 108,000 + 83,000
= $191,000

If the current interest rate is 5% and your semi-annual coupon paying bond has a duration of 5.33 years, how much will the price of the bond change if the interest rate increases by 1 basis point?
Answer:
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
Explanation:
Percentage change in price = - modified duration * (Change in yield in BP/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * ((0.01/2)/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * (0.005/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
Expected return and standard deviation. Use the following information to answer the questions: LOADING.... a. What is the expected return of each asset? b. What is the variance of each asset? c. What is the standard deviation of each asset? Hint: Make sure to round all intermediate calculations to at least seven (7) decimal places. The input instructions, phrases in parenthesis after each answer box, only apply for the answers you will type. a. What is the expected return of asset A?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of expected return of each assets is shown below:-
Expected Return on Asset A in state is
= 0.39 × 0.02 + 0.45 × 0.02 + 0.16 × 0.02
= 0.02
Expected Return on Asset B in state is
= 0.39 × 0.25 + 0.45 × 0.06 + 0.16 × -0.04
= 0.1181
Expected Return on Asset C in state is
= 0.39 × 0.35 + 0.45 × 0.19 + 0.16 × -0.22
= 0.1868
b. The computation of variance of each asset is shown below:-
Variance of Assets A is
= 0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2
= 0
Variance of Assets B is
= 0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2
= 0.0123
Variance of Assets C is
= 0.39 × (0.35 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.45 × (0.19 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.22 - 0.1868)^2
= 0.0369
c. The computation of standard deviation of each asset is shown below:-
Standard Deviation of A is
= (0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2)^0.5
= 0
Standard Deviation of B is
= (0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2)^0.5
= 0.1109
Standard Deviation of C is
= (0.39 × (0.35 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.45 × (0.19 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.22 - 0.1868)^2)^0.5
= 0.1920
"In the long-run, monopolistically competitive firms: have excess capacity. produce at the minimum of average total cost. charge prices equal to marginal cost. both B and C are true."
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: Both B and C are true.
Explanation:
To begin with, a monopolistically competitive firms is the one that produces in a market in where the other companies sell a pretty similar but different product and there are a lot of buyers so the most important way to difference themself is by the publicity or the identification of the brand in the mind of the consumers. Moreover, in this type of market in the long-run equilibrium the price if equal to the marginal cost and also to the minimun of the average total cost so therefore that it is said that there are zero economic profit
