Assets $380,000 $252,500
Sales $403,000 $403,000
Net income $28,250 $28,250
Debt ratio 39.00% 39.00%
Debt = Assets × debt % = $148,200 $98,475
Equity = Assets − Debt = $231,800 $154,025
ROE = NI/Equity = 12.187% 18.341%
Increase in ROE = 18.341%-12.187%
= 6.154%
Therefore, the reduction in assets improve the ROE (percentage point change) is 6.154%

Answer:
No, in my opinion I would choose:
A) the properties of free-market system that determine what the outcomes will be.
Explanation:
That would be my answer because the definition of market forces is "the economic factors affecting the price of, demand for, and availability of a commodity."(off the internet) and the answer which fits that definition the most in my opinion is A.
That would be my answer at least.
Hope this helps!
The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that Group of answer choices a. the focused differentiators have a broader competitive scope b. the value-creating activities of focused differentiators are more constrained. c. focused differentiators target a narrower customer market d. there are fewer risks with the focused differentiation strategy.
Answer:
The answer is option C) The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that focused differentiators target a narrower customer market.
Explanation:
Product differentiation is a marketing strategy that creates competitive advantage with designing a product superior to that of rivals, priced higher and sometimes created for exclusive users.
However, the focused differentiation strategy takes it a step further by targeting a small group of customers with ostensible goods.
The bourgeoisie are the main target for focused differentiators. They have the economic power to foot the bill and they enjoy the exclusivity of being the few to consume such products. A good example of such products is the Bugatti and Ferrari.

Flyaway Travel Company reported net income for 2021 in the amount of $105,000. During 2021, Flyaway declared and paid $3,625 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. Flyaway also paid $25,000 cash dividends on its common stock. Flyaway had 55,000 common shares outstanding from January 1 until 25,000 new shares were sold for cash on April 1, 2021. What is 2021 basic earnings per share?
Answer:
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $1.68
Explanation:
In order to calculate the 2021 basic earnings per share we would have to use the following formula:
Basic EPS = (Net income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average common shares outstanding
According to given data:
Net income=$105,000
Preferred Dividend=$3,625
The calculation of the Weighted average common shares outstanding would be as follows:
Period Months Number of shares outstanding Weighted Number
A B A*B /12
Jan 1 to Mar 31 3 55,000 13,750
April 1 to Dec. 31 9 80,000 (55,000 +25,000) 60,000
(40000+10000)
The Weighted average common shares is 60,000
Therefore, Basic EPS = (Net income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average common shares outstanding
Basic EPS= ($105,000 - $3,625) / 60,000
Basic EPS=$1.68
Harry and Meghan have considered starting their own business but are concerned about the possibility of losing even their personal assets if the business fails. One way for BOTH Harry and Meghan to avoid this liability risk would be to :
A.
divorce as soon as possible and establish two sole proprietorships
B.
Organize a limited partnership with Harry as the general partner
C.
set up offshore accounts
D.
form a corporation
Answer:
The correct option is D,form a corporation
Explanation:
The rationale for my choice of answer is that limited liability applies to a corporation which is found in other types of businesses.
Limited liability is a concept which implies that the liability of shareholders in a limited liability company is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
When a company runs into debt,the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,hence Harry and Meghan personal effects are secure.
The way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Typically, a limited liability applies to a corporation which means that the owner liability is limited to the amount he owns in the business.
Limited liability implies that liability of shareholders is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
So, when company runs into debt, the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,therefore, the investment of Harry and Meghan are secure.
Hence, the only way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Therefore, the Option D is correct.

The manufacturing overhead budget at Cutchin Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 2,800 direct labor-hours will be required in September. The variable overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor-hour. The company’s budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $43,120 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,640. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The September cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
$59,080
Explanation:
The calculation of September cash disbursements is shown below:-
September cash disbursement = Company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - Depreciation + Variable manufacturing overhead
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $7.00 × 2,800
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $19,600
= $62,720 - $3,640
= $59,080
Therefore for computing the September cash disbursement we simply applied the above formula.
The I-75 Carpet Discount Store has an annual demand of 10,000 yards of super shag carpet. The annual carrying cost for a yard of carpet is $0.75 and the ordering cost is $150. The carpet manufacturer normally charges the store $8 per yard for the carpet.; however, the manufacturer has offered a discount price of $6.50 per yard if the store will order 5,000 yards. How much should the store order, and what will be the total inventory cost for that order quantity?
Answer:
5 units and $2,175
Explanation:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{10,000}\times \text{\$150}}{\text{\$0.75}}[/tex]
= 2,000 units
The total cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $8 + 10,000 ÷ 2,000 × $150 + 2,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= 80,000 + $750 + $750
= $81,500
Now in case of ordering 5,000 yields at discount price of $6.50 the total cost is
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $6.50 + 10,000 ÷ 5,000 × $150 + 5,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= $65,000 + 300 + $1,875
= $67,175
Therefore there will be 5 units should store at a time and cost of inventory is 300 + $1,875 = $2,175
In 2017, Cullumber Corporation incurred research and development costs as follows: Materials and equipment $111000 Personnel 131000 Indirect costs 171000 $413000 These costs relate to a product that will be marketed in 2018. It is estimated that these costs will be recouped by December 31, 2020. The equipment has no alternative future use. What is the amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017
Answer:
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 is $413,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 we would have to use the following formula:
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017= Materials and equipment costs+ Personnel costs+Indirect costs
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017= $111,000+ $131,000+$171,000
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017=$413,000
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 is $413,000
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2020
$ 99000 + $ 119000 + $ 159000

When it produces and sells 12,500 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 7.20 Direct labor $ 4.20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.20 Fixed selling expense $ 3.70 Fixed administrative expense $ 2.70 Sales commissions $ 1.20 Variable administrative expense $ 0.70 Required: 1. Assume the cost object is units of production: a. What is the total direct manufacturing cost incurred to make 12,500 units? b. What is the total indirect ma
Answer:
a. $142,500
b. $86,250
Explanation:
a. The computation of the total direct manufacturing cost is shown below:
= (Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit) × number of units manufactured
= ($7.20 + $4.20) × 12,500 units
= $142,500
b. The computation of the total indirect manufacturing cost is shown below:
= (Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit) × number of units manufactured
= ($1.70 + $5.20) × 12,500 units
= $86,250
Suppose that you are the international treasurer of Apple with an extra U.S. $10 million to invest for 9 months. You are considering the purchase of U.S. T-bills that yield 1.50% annual rate. The spot exchange rate is $1.00 = ¥100, and the 9 month forward rate is $1.00 = ¥110. What must the interest rate in Japan be before you are willing to consider investing there for 9 months? A. 14.5515 B. <8.8975 C. >13.4983 D. 12.5050
Answer:
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Explanation:
As per Interest Rate Parity Theory
Spot Rate : 1$ = 100
Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110
r = 9/12
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)
Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)
110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12) / 1.01125
1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375
Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Pharoah Company has had 4 years of record earnings. Due to this success, the market price of its 500,000 shares of $4 par value common stock has increased from $15 per share to $55. During this period, paid-in capital remained the same at $6,000,000. Retained earnings increased from $4,500,000 to $30,000,000. CEO Don Ames is considering either (1) a 15% stock dividend or (2) a 2-for-1 stock split. He asks you to show the before-and-after effects of each option on (a) retained earnings, (b) total stockholders’ equity, and (c) par value per share.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
1) 15% Stock Dividend-
Retained Earnings = Increase Value of Retained Earnings - (Total Shares × 15% Stock Dividend × Increase Value of Per Share)
= $30,000,000 - (500,000 × 15% × $55)
= $30,000,000 - $4,125,000
= $25,875,000
2) 2-for-1 stock split-
Retained earnings = $30,000,000
The 2-for-1 stock split will not impact retained earnings.
a and b) The before, after effects of each option are shown in the attachment below
c) Par value per share
Par value per share of stock dividend = $4
Par value per share of 2-for-1 stock split = $4 ÷ 2 = $2
According to the analysis, stock dividend will not make any impact.

Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000

On January 1, 2020, Pina Corporation sold a building that cost $263,240 and that had accumulated depreciation of $101,140 on the date of sale. Pina received as consideration a $253,240 non-interest-bearing note due on January 1, 2023. There was no established exchange price for the building, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type on January 1, 2020, was 11%. At what amount should the gain from the sale of the building be reported?
Answer:
Gain from sale = $23,067
Explanation:
the none interest bearing note must be recorded at present value:
present value of the note = face value / (1 + r)ⁿ
face value = $253,240r = 11%n = 3PV = $253,240 / (1 + 11%)³ = $185,167
the note receivable must be recorded at $253,240, but $68,073 will be recorded as interest revenue.
the journal entry for the transaction should be:

Assume that at the end of 2019, Clampett, Inc. (an S corporation) distributes property (fair market value of $40,000, basis of $5,000) to each of its four equal shareholders (aggregate distribution of $160,000). At the time of the distribution, Clampett, Inc., has no corporate earnings and profits and J.D. has a basis of $50,000 in his Clampett, Inc., stock. What is J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution
Answer:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution is $85,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution we would have to use the following formula:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=original basis +increase/decrease in basis from gain from property distribution
original basis=$50,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$40,000-$5,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$35,000
Therefore, J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$50,000+$35,000
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$85,000
The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540

Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195
We simply applied the above formula
Option A has an expected value of $2,000, a minimum payoff of -$4,000, and a maximum payoff of $18,000. Option B has an expected value of $2,200, a minimum payoff of -$1,000, and a maximum payoff of $6,000. Option C has an expected value of $1,900, a minimum payoff of $100, and a maximum payoff of $2,000. In this situation, a risk-averse decision maker would pay __________ for his risk aversion, and a risk-seeking decision maker would pay __________ for his risk seeking.
Answer:
Option A is the answer
Explanation:
A risk-averse decision maker will go for the option with the least chance of loss incurred (the highest minimum payoff of $100) and settle for an expected value of 1900. He'll pay for his risk avoidance in this way (2200-1900 = 300) while a risk-seeking decision maker will go for the option with the highest payoff chances ($18,000), regardless of the possibility of failure.

Colil Computer Systems, Inc., manufactures printer circuit cards. All direct materials are added at the inception of the production process. During January, the accounting department noted that there was no beginning inventory. Direct materials of $ 300 comma 000 were used in production during the month. Workminusinminusprocess records revealed that 12 comma 500 card units were started in January, 6 comma 250 card units were complete, and 4 comma 000 card units were spoiled as expected. Ending workminusinminusprocess card units are complete in respect to direct materials costs. Spoilage is not detected until the process is complete. What is the direct material cost assigned to good units completed? A. $ 258 comma 621 B. $ 150 comma 000 C. $ 96 comma 000 D. $ 246 comma 000
Answer:
D. $246,000
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of direct material cost assigned to good units completed is provided below:-
To reach Cost transferred out we need to follow some steps which is following below:-
Step 1. Cost per unit = cost of material used ÷ Units started
= $300,000 ÷ 12,500
= $24
Now,
Step 2. Goods units completed = Started units × Cost per unit
= 6,250 × $24
= $150,000
Step 3. Normal spoilage = Cards units × Cost per unit
= 4,000 × $24
= $96,000
and finally
Cost transferred out = Goods units completed + Normal spoilage
= $150,000 + $96,000
= $246,000
To reach allocation of Cost transferred out we simply put the values into formula.
Granite State Airlines serves the route between New York and Portsmouth, NH, with a single-flight-daily 100-seat aircraft. The one-way fare for discount tickets is $100, and the one-way fare for full-fare tickets is $150. Discount tickets can be booked up until one week in advance, and all discount passengers book before all full-fare passengers. Over a long history of observation, the airline estimates that full-fare demand is normally distributed, with a mean of 56 passengers and a standard deviation of 23, while discount-fare demand is normally distributed, with a mean of 88 passengers and a standard deviation of 44.
a) A consultant tells the airline they can maximize expected revenue by optimizing the booking limit. What is the optimal booking limit? (Hint: Use the standard normal cumulative distribution table)
b) The airline has been setting a booking limit of 44 on discount demand, to preserve 56 seats for full-fare demand. What is their expected revenue per flight under this policy? (Hint: First find the expected revenue when b= 0. Here you can assume Probability{df = k} = Ff(k+0.5) – Ff(k-0.5) and use a spreadsheet. Then using the recursive formula, find the expected revenue if b is increased by 1 until it reaches b=44 using a spreadsheet)
c) What is the expected gain from the optimal booking limit over the original booking limit?
d) A low-fare competitor enters the market and Granite State Airlines sees its discount demand drop to 44 passengers per flight, with a standard-deviation of 30. Full-fare demand is unchanged. What is the new optimal booking limit?
Answer:
Given data: One flight with total seats = 100
Full fare passengers, cost per ticket=$150, mean=56 passengers, SD=23
Discount fare passengers, cost per ticket=$100, mean=88 passengers, SD=44
(a) Here, though there is a hint to use the CDF, since the confidence interval is not given we will make some simplying assumptions that will reduce the complexity of the question, of course keeping the question statistically correct.
this question wants us to maximize total revenue per flight (one way), we can do that by taking only full fare passengers or total revenue will be 150*100=$15,000, but since historical probability shows a mean of 56 with a standard deviation of 23, we can assume in best case scenario total full fare ticket passengers will be 56+23=79, leaving 21 tickets for discount passenger, in this case the total revenues will be 79*150+21*100=$13,950
(b) Now, the new constrained policy is giving a clear cut number of seats to each category of pasengers, 44 for discount (total revenues 44*100) and 56 for full fare (total revenues 56*150) both of which are within the probabilities given earlier (full fare mean=56, discount mean=88). Total revenues in case will be 44*100+56*150=$12,800.
(c) Gain is the difference of the excess revenues in both cases of optimal total revenues and limited seats policy or answer (a) - answer (b) = $13,950- $12,800=$1,150
(d) Realistically speaking, there is no answer for this question without a clear cut confidence interval. Another simplifying assumption we can make here is taking the mean passengers as expected bookings (can be tweaked once confidence interval or degree of significance is given). so total revenues in this case will be 44*100 from discount and 56*150 from full fare passengers. That is still similar to answer (c) due to our assumption/lack of constraints, so our optimal booking will be 54 full fare tickets and 44 discount passenger tickets. You can also take worst case scenario by subtracting SD of each passenger type from the mean or go the best case scenario in which SD of full fare will be added to the mean while the pending seats (left over from 100) will be the total to discount fare for optimal revenue collection.
Given knowledge: One flight with a total capacity of 100 passengers.
Passengers paying full fare, the average ticket price of $150, mean of 56 passengers, SD of 23
Participants on a discount price, with a ticket cost of $100, a mean of 88 passengers, and a standard deviation of 44.
(a) Spite of the fact there is a hint to utilize the CDF because statistical power is not supplied, we will make some presumptions to minimize the complexity of the question whilst retaining statistical accuracy.
We can do so by hardly taking full-fare passengers, in which particular instance total revenue will be 150*100=$15,000, but since historical probability shows a mean of 56 with a standard deviation of 23.
we can assume that total full fare ticket passengers will be 56+23=79, leaving 21 tickets for discount passengers, in which case total revenues will be[tex]79\times150+21\times100=\$13,950.[/tex]
(b) This new limited program now assigns a specific number of seats to each passenger category: 44 for discount (total revenues [tex]44\times100[/tex]) and 56 for full-fare (total revenues [tex]56\times150[/tex]), both of which are within the probability (full fare mean=56, discount mean=88).
In this instance, total revenues will be [tex]44\times100+56\times150=\$12,800.[/tex]
(c) Gain is the differential between the excess earnings in both the ideal overall revenue and restricted seat policies or $13,950- $12,800=$1,150.
(d) Without a well-defined standard error, there is no real answer to this question. Another assumption we might make to make things easier is to treat the average passengers as projected bookings. In this instance, total revenues will be 44*100 from discount passengers and 56*150 from full rate passengers.
Due to our assumption/lack of limitations, our ideal booking will be 54 full-price tickets and 44 discount passenger tickets, which is comparable to the solution (c).
You may alternatively go for the worst-case scenario by subtracting the SD of each passenger type from the mean, or the best-case scenario by adding the SD of the full fare to the mean and using the pending seats (leftover from 100) to discount the fare for optimal revenue collection.

he principle that suggests that the distribution of income should be based on the contribution made by individuals to society's total output is known as A. the functional distribution of income. B. the relative poverty standard. C. the productivity standard. D. the egalitarian principle. The productivity standard fails to yield an equal distribution of income because A. individuals have different abilities and skills. B. it is difficult to measure productivity accurately. C. richer countries have higher productivity than poorer countries. D. diminishing marginal productivity holds.
Answer:
The principle that suggests that the distribution of income should be based on the contribution made by individuals to society's total output is known as:
C. the productivity standard.The productivity standard fails to yield an equal distribution of income because:
A. individuals have different abilities and skills.Explanation:
Generally speaking, productivity refers to how many units of output we can produce by using X amount of units of inputs. The higher the output, the more productive we are.
The same principle is used by the productivity standard to allocate resources in a society. This is a basic doctrine of capitalism that believes that more work and more productivity should equal more income. That is why capitalistic countries tend to have unequal income distribution.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29
The following costs are included in a recent summary of data for a company: advertising expense, $85,000; depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000; direct labor, $250,000; direct material used, $300,000; factory utilities, $105,000; and sales salaries expense, $150,000. Determine the dollar amount of conversion costs.
Answer:
Conversion costs= $488,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000
direct labor, $250,000
factory utilities, $105,000
The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Manufacturing overhead= 133,000 + 105,000= 238,000
Direct labor= 250,000
Conversion costs= $488,000
In performing accounting services for small businesses, you encounter the following situations per taining to cash sales. 1. Poole Company enters sales and sales taxes separately in its cash register. On April 10, the register totals are sales $30,000 and sales taxes $1,500. 2. Waterman Company does not segregate sales and sales taxes. Its register total for April 15 is $25,680, which includes a 7% sales tax. Prepare the entry to record the sales transactions and related taxes for each client.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entries of the given data are as follow:-
1.Journal Entry of Poole Company
April 10
Cash A/c Dr. $31,500
To Sales A/c $30,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,500
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
2. Since Register total for April $25,680 includes 7% sales tax.
So Sales of Waterman Company
= Registered Total Amount ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
= $25,680 ÷ (1 + 7%)
= $25,680 ÷ 1.07
= $24,000
Now
Sales tax = $24,000 × 7% = $1,680
Journal Entry of Waterman Company
On 15 April
Cash A/c Dr. $25,680
To Sales A/c $24,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,680
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
