The end-of-period spreadsheet (work sheet) for the current year for Jamal Company shows Balance Sheet columns with a debit total of $570,210 and a credit total of $506,590. This is before the amount for net income or net loss has been included. In preparing the income statement from the end-of-period spreadsheet, what is the amount of net income or net loss?
Answer:
$63,620
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of net income or net loss
Using this formula
Net income = Total debit - Total credit
Let plug in the formula
Net income=$570,210 -$506,590
Net income=$63,620
Therefore the amount of net income is $63,620
Suppose that the reason the jewelry was brand new and at such a bargain price online was because the seller actually stole the jewelry. If the jewelry were stolen, what type of title would Hugo hold when he purchased the jewelry
Answer: d. Void.
Explanation:
The seller stole the jewelry and so does not hold any legal title to the jewelry in the first place. The seller cannot therefore pass something that they do not possess which means that Hugo did not get a title.
Hugo's supposed title is therefore void which means that should the real owner of the jewelry ever find out that he has it, they can simply come back and claim it without needing to pay Hugo for it.
In 2020, Susan retired from her active participation in a 50% owned restaurant business, which she owned for 20 years. Susan is also a material participant in a clothing store which she has a 50% ownership. Susan continues to actively participate in the clothing store in 2020. The restaurant generated an $80,000 loss, and the clothing store produced $150,000 in income in 2020. These amounts are Susan's share of each activity. Susan does not participate nor own any other business.
Question Completion with Options:
a. Susan cannot deduct the $80,000 loss from the restaurant because she is not a material participant.
b. Susan can offset the $80,000 loss against the $150,000 of income from the retail store.
c. Susan will not be able to deduct any losses from the restaurant until she has been retired for at least three years.
d. Assuming Susan continues to hold the interest in the restaurant, she will always treat the losses as active.
Answer:
Susan
b. Susan can offset the $80,000 loss against the $150,000 of income from the retail store.
Explanation:
Susan can offset the $80,000 loss from the restaurant business against the income from the retail store because she has been an active and material participant in both businesses. For the past 20 years, she had participated materially in the restaurant, only just retiring this year. At least, she has passed the material participant test, number 5.
On January 1, James Industries leased equipment to a customer for a four-year period, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to James. The equipment cost James $700,000 and has an expected useful life of six years. Its normal sales price is $700,000. The residual value after four years is $100,000. Lease payments are due on December 31 of each year, beginning with the first payment at the end of the first year. The interest rate is 5%. Calculate the amount of the annual lease payments.
Answer:
$174,207.19
Explanation:
Amount to be recovered (Fair value) = $700,000.....A
PV of residual value = $100,000 * PVIF of $1(5%, 4) = $100,000 * 0.82270 = $82,270.........B
Amount to be recovered through periodic lease payments = A - B = $700,000 - $82,270 = $617,730
Annual lease payment = Amount to be recovered through periodic lease payments / PV of ordinary annuity of $1(5%, 4)
Annual lease payment = $617,730 / 3.54595
Annual lease payment = $174207.194123
Annual lease payment = $174,207.19
So, the amount of the annual lease payments is $174,207.19.

Suppose that Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, and he had to spend $500 to find another job. His job search expenditures would be considered _____ damages.
Answer:
Incidental damages
Explanation:
In a situation where an employer doesn't fulfill a contract agreement with an employee, just like in the question above, where Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, he has the right to collect "damages" which is legal compensation for financial losses caused by the termination of his employment contract before it expired. Incidental damage is the answer because Jeremiah incurred expenses where he had to spend $500 to find another job as a result of the employer's breach of the contract.

Fowler, Inc., just paid a dividend of $2.60 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.75 percent per year, indefinitely. Assume investors require a return of 12 percent on this stock.
a. What is the current price?
b. What will the price be in four years and in sixteen years?
Answer:
a. Current price = $43.99
b. We have:
Price in four years = $52.03
Price in sixteen years = $101.76
Explanation:
a. What is the current price?
Using the Gordon Growth Model formula, we have:
Current price = (Dividend just paid * (100% + Dividend growth rate)) / (Rate of return – Dividend growth rate) = ($2.60 * (100% + 5.75%)) / (12% - 5.75%) = $43.99
b. What will the price be in four years and in sixteen years?
Using the Gordon Growth Model formula with an adjustment for number of years, we have:
Price in four years = (Dividend just paid * (100% + Dividend growth rate)^Number of years) / (Rate of return – Dividend growth rate) = ($2.60 * (100% + 5.75%)^4) / (12% - 5.75%) = $52.03
Price in sixteen years = (Dividend just paid * (100% + Dividend growth rate)^Number of years) / (Rate of return – Dividend growth rate) = ($2.60 * (100% + 5.75%)^16) / (12% - 5.75%) = $101.76

why do you think that the npv method choosen by you is the most suitable method in ecaluating the proposed investment?
Answer:
Hind Petrochemicals Company
The reason that the NPV method is the most suitable method in evaluating the proposed investment is that
the NPV reduces all the cash outflows and inflows to their present value to assess their relative values vis-a-vis the time value of money.
Explanation:
NPV, therefore, creates a common denominator for project evaluation. If the cash outflows in their present values are more than the cash inflows in their present values, then Hind may need to reconsider its decision to buy the refineries from the government. Using NPV enables Hind Petrochemicals to compute the revenues and costs in their present values and cash flow forms.

Question 3 4 Marks Mi Tierra Driving School charges $680 per student to prepare and administer written and driving tests. Variable costs of $408 per student include trainers’ wages, study materials, and gasoline. Annual fixed costs of $63,920 include the training facility and fleet of cars. Requirements 1. For each of the following independent situations, calculate the contribution margin per unit and the breakeven point in units by first referring to the original data provided: a. Breakeven point with no change in information. b. Decrease sales price to $544 per student. c. Decrease variable costs to $340 per student. d. Decrease fixed costs to $53,040.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $680
Unitary variable cost= $408
Fixed cost= $63,920
To calculate the contribution margin and break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
a:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 272
Break-even point in units= 235
b:
Unitary contribution margin= 544 - 408= $136
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 136
Break-even point in units= 470
c:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 340= $340
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 340
Break-even point in units= 188
d:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 53,040 / 272
Break-even point in units= 195
Suppose a basket of goods and services has been selected to calculate the consumer price index (CPI) and 2002 has been selected as the base year. In 2002, the basket's cost was $600; in 2004, the basket's cost was $650; and in 2006, the basket's cost was $700. The value of the CPI in 2004 was:___________
a. 92.3.
b. 106.3.
c. 108.3.
d. 152.0.
e. more than 155.0.
Answer:
c. 108.3
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The value of the CPI in 2004 was:
Using this formula
Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2004 = (2004 Basket cost / Base year basket cost) x 100
Let plug in the formula
Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2004 = (650 / 600) x 100
Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2004 = 108.3
Therefore The value of the CPI in 2004 was:108.3

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data:
Total machine-hours
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour 31,400 $219,800 4
Recently. Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics:
Number of units in the job 10
Total machine-hours
Direct materials
Direct labor cost $ 580 $1,160
The total job cost for Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places)
Answer:
$1960
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost is shown below:
Total variable overhead estimated is
= (4 × 31400)
= $125600
Now
total overhead estimated is
= Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated
= $125600 + 219800
= $345400
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= $345400 ÷ 31400
= $11 per machine hour
Now total overhead applied is
= (11 × 20)
= $220
So, total job cost is
= Direct material + Direct labor + Total overhead
= (580+1160+220)
= $1960
Assume the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, when using the weighted-average method, are 5,200 units and 5,000 units, respectively. If the equivalent units in ending work in process inventory for materials and conversion are 400 units and 200 units, respectively, then what is the total cost of ending work in process for the Milling Department
Answer:
$39520
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of ending work in process for the Milling Department is given below:
But before that the equivalent cost per unit is
Material = $301600 ÷ 5200
= $58 per unit
And,
Conversion = $408000 ÷ 5000
= $81.60 per unit
So,
Ending Work in Process = 400 × $58 + 200 × $81.60
= $39520
MC Qu. 152 Adams Manufacturing allocates... Adams Manufacturing allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. At the beginning of the year, Adams estimated total overhead of $364,800; materials of $418,000 and direct labor of $228,000. During the year Adams incurred $426,000 in materials costs, $415,400 in overhead costs and $232,000 in direct labor costs. Compute the overhead application rate.
Answer:
$1.60 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Overhead application rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
hence,
Overhead application rate = $364,800 ÷ $228,000
= $1.60 per direct labor hour
The CVP income statement Group of answer choices discloses contribution margin in the body of the statement. is distributed internally and externally. classifies costs by functions. will reflect a different net income than the traditional income statement.
Answer: discloses contribution margin in the body of the statement.
Explanation:
The Cost Volume Profit (CVP) income statement is made to better show the influence of variable costs and fixed costs on income. It as well shows the effects that changing costs and production volume can have on the income.
Although it shows the same income as a traditional income statement, the format is different in that the contribution margin is included in the statement and the costs and revenue per unit are shown as well.

Break-even point in dollars = $54,600
Break-even point in in units = 420 units
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as its part b is missing. The part b of the question is therefore provided to complete it before answering it as follows:
b) Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even point in dollars and in units.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a) Determine the total contribution margin in dollars, the per unit contribution margin, and the contribution margin ratio
Average price = $130
Variable costs = Average price * 70% = $130 * 70% = $91
Total sales = Number of clients * Average price = 620 * $130 = $80,600
Total variable cost = Total sales * 70% = $80,600 * 70% = $56,420
Therefore, we have:
Total contribution margin in dollars = Total sales - Total variable cost = $80,600 - $56,420 = $24,180
Per unit contribution margin = Average price - Variable costs = $130 - $91 = $39
Contribution margin ratio = (Total contribution margin in dollars / Total sales) * 100 = ($24,180 / $80,600) * 100 = 30%
b) Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even point in dollars and in units.
Break-even point in dollars = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $16,380 / 30% = $54,600
Break-even point in in units = Fixed cost / Per unit contribution margin = $16,380 / $39 = 420 units
Hamell Company has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project: Discount rate 8% Life of the project 8 years Initial investment $330,000 Annual cash inflows 54,450 Salvage value 0 Assume that excess of incremental revenues over the incremental expenses (including depreciation) equal the annual cash inflows. The simple rate of return on the proposed investment is closest to: (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer: 16.5%
Explanation:
Following the information given in the question, the simple rate of return on the proposed investment will be calculated thus:
= Annual cash flow / Initial investment
= $54,450 / $330,000
= 0.165
= 16.5%
Therefore, the simple rate of return on the proposed investment is 16.5%.
Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $34.00, and the item purchased second cost $35.00. Blake sold one of the items for $64.00. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The dollar amount assigned to ending inventory will be the same no matter which cost flow method is used.
B. Gross margin will be higher if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.
C. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used.
D. Cost of goods sold will be higher if Blake uses FIFO than if weighted average were used.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
Weighted average is the average cost of the inventories bought over a period
If FIFO is used, ending inventory would be $35.
If weighted average is used , ending inventory = (34 +35) / 2 = $34.50
Thus, ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Gross margin = gross profit / revenue
If FIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 34) / 64 = 0.469
If LIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 35) / 64 = 0.453
Gross margin will be lower if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.

Identify the inventory costing method best described by each of the following separate statements. Assume a period of increasing costs. results in
a. Results in the highest cost of goods sold.
b. Yields the highest net income.
c. Has the lowest tax expense because of reporting the lowest net income.
d. Better matches current costs with revenues,
e. Precisely matches the costs of items with the revenues they generate.
Answer:
LIFO is a form of inventory costing that assumes that more recent stock is sold first and early stock sold last. FIFO is the opposite of this and believes earlier stock is sold first and later stock is sold last.
Weighted average uses a weighted price for all available stock and specific identification uses the exact cost of the inventory.
a. Results in the highest cost of goods sold. ⇒ LIFO
This is LIFO because the closing stock that is subtracted from the cost of goods sold will be earlier stock and as costs are rising, it will be lower than the purchases.
b. Yields the highest net income. ⇒ FIFO
Because FIFO gives a lower Cost of goods sold as opposed to LIFO, it gives a higher income.
c. Has the lowest tax expense because of reporting the lowest net income.⇒ LIFO
Reports lowest income due to high cost of goods sold.
d. Better matches current costs with revenues. ⇒ LIFO
LIFO uses the current inventory which would reflect the current cost of inventory so it matches current costs with revenue.
e. Precisely matches the costs of items with the revenues they generate. ⇒ Specific Identification.
Uses the exact cost of the inventory so precisely matches costs.
