On January 1, 2012, Sunland Company purchased for $690000, equipment having a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $40200. Sunland has recorded monthly depreciation of the equipment on the straight-line method. On December 31, 2020, the equipment was sold for $160000. As a result of this sale, Sunland should recognize a gain of
Answer:
$54,820
Explanation:
The computation of the gain is shown below;
But before that following calculations must be done
Annual depreciation as per the straight-line method
= ($690,000 - $40,200) ÷ (10 years)
= $64,980
Now accumulated depreciation for 9 years is
= $64,980 × 9 years
= $584,820
Now the book value is
= $690,000 - $584,820
= $105,180
Now the gain is
= Sale value - book value
= $160,000 - $105,180
= $54,820

Which of the following statements is true based on what we know about the properties of utility? Group of answer choices Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda and 25 utility from eating a pizza. Therefore, Alexandra enjoys pizza more than sodas. Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda, and Ally receives 20 utility from consuming one soda. They both receive the same level of satisfaction from consuming a soda. Natalie receives 20 utility from watching a movie while Andrew receives 30 utility from playing a video game. Therefore, Andrew enjoys video games more than Natalie enjoys movies. Ally receives 15 utility from consuming one pizza while Jason receives 25 utility from eating one pizza. Therefore, Jason enjoys pizzas more than Ally.
Answer:
Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda and 25 utility from eating a pizza. Therefore, Alexandra enjoys pizza more than sodas.
Explanation:
Utility is defined as the level of satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming various products. It is subjective and is dependent on individual preferences.
So utility or level of satisfaction differs from one individual to the other.
For example 20 utility for Alexandra will be different for 20 utility from Jason as each person has a user defined measurement of utility.
The only option that conveys individual utility is - Alexandra receives 20 utility from drinking one soda and 25 utility from eating a pizza. Therefore, Alexandra enjoys pizza more than sodas.
Alexandra defines her own utility so her level of satisfaction can be compared when she consumes soda and pizza.
The other options compares utility between different individuals and this cannot be done objectively as each person defines his own utility.
Martha is a regional supervisor who earns a base salary of $34,400 per year plus a 1% commission on all service contracts that she sells to existing customers. The company pays salaries on a semi monthly basis and contract commissions on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, Martha had made $38,200 in contract sales for the third quarter. What will be her gross pay on her next pay date
Answer:
Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Number of semi months in a year = 24
Semi monthly salary = Salary per year / Number of semi months in a year = $34,400 / 24 = $1,433.33
Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = Contract sales for the third quarter * Commission percentage = $38,200 * 1% = $382
Martha gross pay on her next pay date = Semi monthly salary + Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = $1,433.33 + $382 = $1,815.33
Therefore, Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.

A.P. Hill Corporation uses a process-costing system. Products are manufactured in a series of three departments. The following data relate to Department Two for the month of February: Beginning work-in-process (70% complete) 10,000 units Goods started in production 80,000 units Ending work-in-process (60% complete) 5,000 units The beginning work-in-process was valued at $66,000, consisting of $20,000 of transferred-in costs, $30,000 of materials costs, and $16,000 of conversion costs. Materials are added at the beginning of the process; conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. Costs added to production during February were Transferred-in $16,000 Materials used 88,000 Conversion costs 50,000 Question Assume that the company uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation. Under FIFO, how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February
Answer:
$64,360
Explanation:
Calculation for how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February
First step is to calculate FIFO EUP for conversion
under the FIFO method
Beginning WIP 3,000
(10,000 units × 30%)
Started and completed 75,000
(80,000units-5,000 units=75,000 units)
(75,000 units × 100% )
Ending WIP 3,000
(5,000 units × 60% )
FIFO EUP for conversion 81,000
(3,000+75,000+3,000)
Now let calculate the conversion cost
Conversion cost =$16,000 + [3,000 Beginning WIP +75,000 Started and completed*($50,000/81,000)]
Conversion cost =[$16,000 + (78,000 × $.62)]
Conversion cost=[$16,000 + $48,360
conversion cost=$64,360
Therefore how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February will be $64,360

Reading the newspaper this morning, you found an article that mentions a woman named Nada who used to live down the street from you. Nada was recently hired by the First State Bank to assist in the evaluation and forecasting of future financial and economic conditions in the communities served by the bank. In which area of finance does Nada work
Answer:
the options are missing:
Financial services
Financial markets and institutions
Managerial finance
Investments
the answer is Financial services.
Explanation:
Financial markets and institutions deals with stock and bond markets, it doesn't include evaluation of local markets.
Managerial finance deals with financial data analysis, and has nothing to do with Nada.
Investments generally deals with large clients, so neighborhood or community analysis doesn't fit very well either
Financial services includes serving smaller clients, e.g. opening checking accounts, mortgages, etc.
On January 2, 2021, Farr Co. issued 10-year convertible bonds at 105. During 2021, these bonds were converted into common stock having an aggregate par value equal to the total face amount of the bonds. At conversion, the market price of Farr's common stock was 50 percent above its par value. On January 2, 2021, cash proceeds from the issuance of the convertible bonds should be reported as:_______.
a. paid-in capital for the entire proceeds.
b. paid-in capital for the portion of the proceeds attributable to the conversion feature and as a liability for the balance.
c. a liability for the face amount of the bonds and paid-in capital for the premium over the face amount.
d. a liability for the entire proceeds.
Answer:
d. a liability for the entire proceeds.
Explanation:
In the case when the bonds would be converted into common stock and the market price of the common stock is 50% over its par value so the cash proceeds that arise from the issuance of the convertible bonds would be reported as the liability as the same would be credited to the liability account
Therefore the right option is d.

Answer:
The net cash provided by financing activities -$157,600.
Explanation:
Net cash provided by financing activities refers to the difference between the total cash inflows and total cash outflows from the financing activities section of the cash flow staement.
The net cash provided by financing activities can be calculated by preparing a partial cash flow statement as follows:
Concord Corporation
Net Cash Flow Statement (Partial)
As at December 31, 2022
Details Amount
Par value common stock issued for cash 190,000
Dividend declared and paid in cash (15,200)
6-year note payable repaid (334,400)
Net cash provided by financing activities (157,600)
Therefore, the net cash provided by financing activities -$157,600.
Alternatively, the net cash provided by financing activities can be calculated as follows:
Net cash provided by financing activities = Par value common stock issued for cash - Dividend declared and paid in cash - 6-year note payable repaid = $190,000 - $15,200 - $334,400 = -$157,600
Suppose the statutory incidence were instead on the consumers. Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity in the market. In that case, the dollar portion of the $0.75/drink tax that is borne by consumers is $ . The dollar portion of the $0.75/drink that that is borne by producers is $ .
Answer:
The new equilibrium price is $6.43 and the quantity is 374.28
The tax borne by consumers is 0.72
The tax borne by producers is 0.03
Explanation:
The old equilibrium price of the bubble tea was $5.71 while the new price of the bubble tea is $6.43. The new price includes the tax effect which is paid by the consumers. The difference in the two equilibrium prices is the tax which is borne by consumers.
A company has derivatives transactions with Banks A, B, and C which are worth +$20 million, −$15 million, and −$25 million, respectively to the company. How much margin or collateral does the company have to provide? The transactions are cleared bilaterally and are subject to one-way collateral agreements where the company posts variation margin, but no initial margin. The transactions are cleared centrally through the same CCP and the CCP requires a total initial margin of $10 million.
Answer:
1. With Bilateral Clearing, where the company posts variation margin, but no initial margin:
The company has to provide collateral to Banks A, B, and C of $0 million, $15 million, and $25 million respectively.
Therefore, the total collateral required is $40 million.
2. With Central Clearing through the CCP, where the CCP usually requires an initial margin of $10 million:
The derivatives are netted against each other, and the company’s total variation margin is $20 million (–$20 + $15 + $25) in total.
The total margin required (including the initial margin) is, therefore, $30 million ($20 + $10 million).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Worth of derivative with Bank A = +$20 million
Worth of derivative with Bank B = -$15 million
Worth of derivative with Bank C = -$25 million
b) In a bilateral clearing, the company and each bank (called market participants) enter into an agreement with each other to cover all outstanding derivative transactions between the two parties. On the other hand, in central clearing, a central clearing party (CCP) stands between the two sides of an OTC derivative transaction in much the same way that the exchange clearing house does for exchange-traded contracts.
6. Despite multimillion-dollar investments, many IT organizations cannot respond quickly to evolving business needs.

Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.
Answer:
The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.
Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.
Number of Employees 20 Average Salary per employee $ 30,000 Weeks per year 52 Minutes available per week 2,400 Practical capacity percentage 80 % If a company uses time-driven activity-based costing, what is the practical capacity of resources supplied in minutes
Answer:
1,996,800 minutes
Explanation:
Calculation for what is the practical capacity of resources supplied in minutes
Practical capacity of resources supplied =52 weeks × 2,400 minutes per week× 80% × 20 employees
Practical capacity of resources supplied= 1,996,800 minutes
Therefore the practical capacity of resources supplied in minutes is 1,996,800 minutes

in 2001 an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease in europe led to the burning of millions of cattle carcasses. discuss the demand and supply implication caused by the outbreak, for an in-depth analysis of the discussion topic you may use all of the resources available to you. what impact would you expect on the supply of cattle hides, hide prices, the supply of leather goods, and the price of leather goods
Answer:
High demand
Low supply
High prices
Explanation:
The demand and supply of products, goods and services is heavily dependent on several factors ranging from economic, health and social factors. Disease and viral outbreaks have devastating effects on the market forces of demand and supply which in most cases will impact the market negatively with characteristically high prices and scarcity of products. The mouth and hoof outbreak in Europe was one which impacted the economy including farmers, leather and hides workers and all whose businesses and sustainability depends on cattles and its products. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the ease at which it could spread if curtailment isn't effected on time, millions of cattles were slaughtered on sighting the symptoms and it's products including skins are burnt leading to losses in billions on the path of cattle rearers, shortage of lather, hides and skins, restriction in international product trade in other to avoid its spread to other parts of the world. These resulted in low supply and high demand of cattles and its products including leather goods meaning High prices for little available.
Mackenzie wants to purchase a new sofa for $900. Her brother tells her that if she can come up with 75% of the purchase price, he will lend her the rest of the amount. If Mackenzie produces the required amount, what will be the amount of the loan she receives from her brother?
Answer:
$225
Explanation:
The cost of the new sofa is $900.
Mackenzie need to raise 75% of the cost price.
Her brother will lend her the balance, which is equivalent to 75% of the cost price.
Mackenzie needs to raise
= 75% of 900
=75/100 x 900
=$675
Her brother will lend her
= $900 - $675
=$225
Counselors of Mableton purchased equipment on January 1, 2017, for $37,000. Counselors of Mableton expected the equipment to last for five years and have a residual value of $4,500. Suppose counselors of Mableton sold the equipment for $25,200 on December 31, 2018, after using the equipment for two full years. Assume depreciation 2018 has been recorded. Journalize the sale of equipment, assuming straight-line depreciation was used
Answer:
Dr cash $25,200
Dr accumulated depreciation $13,000
Cr equipment $37,000
Cr profit on disposal $1,2000
Explanation:
The yearly depreciation expense on the equipment is computed thus:
depreciation=(cost-residual value)/useful life
cost=$37000
residual value=$4,500
useful life= 5 years
depreciation=($37000-$4500)/5
depreciation=$6,500
accumulated depreciation for 2 years=$6,500*2=$13,000
Cash proceeds from disposal=$25,200
Upon disposal, we would debit cash with $25,200 as well as accumulated depreciation with $13,000 while the equipment account is credited with the original cost of $37,000
Total debits=$25,200+$13,000=$38,200
total credit=$37,000
profit on disposal=$38,200-$37000=$1,200

of 2
Select one:
a. the HR department and top management.
b. mid- and upper-level executives.
C. coworkers and line managers.
d. the HR department and the new employee's immediate manager.
Clear my choice
Answer:
d. the HR department and the new employee's immediate manager.
Explanation:
An "employee orientation" is part of a new employee's onboarding process, before he's trained. It often happens on the first day of employment. It allows the new employee to feel welcomed in the company, which will make him more successful in achieving his goal.
It is the role of the HR department and direct manager or immediate manager to conduct the orientation. It is the role of the HR to give the employee the company handbook and sign contracts. On the other hand, the immediate manager introduces the new employee to his colleagues and gives him a tour of the company's premise. Some immediate managers provide a welcome party.
