Answer:
The price of the bonds $483,841.97
Journal entry:
Dr cash $483,841.97
Dr discount on bonds payable $16,158.03
Cr bonds payable $500,000.00
Explanation:
Using a financial calculator, we determine the bond price by using the following inputs:
N=8(number of semiannual coupons in 4 years=4*2=8)
PMT=22500 (semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12= $500,000*9%*6/12=$22,500)
I/Y=5(semiannual yield=10%%*6/12=5%)
FV=500000( the face value is $600,000)
CPT PV=$483,841.97
Bond discount=face value-bond price
Bond discount=$500,000-$483,841.97
Bond discount=$16,158.03
The double entries are to debit cash and discount on bonds payable with $483,841.97 and $16,158.03 respectively while bonds payable is credited with the face value of $500,000

Find the present values of the following cash flow streams. The appropriate interest rate is 10%. (Hint: It is fairly easy to work this problem dealing with the individual cash flows. However, if you have a financial calculator, read the section of the manual that describes how to enter cash flows such as the ones in this problem. This will take a little time, but the investment will pay huge dividends throughout the course.
Year    Cash Stream A Cash Stream B
1 $100 $300
2 400 400
3 400 400
4 400 400
5 300 100
   Â
Required:
What is the value of each cash flow stream at a 0 percent interest rate?
Answer:
a. The present value of Cash flow stream A at 10% interest rate is $1,181.50; while the present value of Cash flow streams B at 10% interest rate is $1,239.13.
b. Present value of Cash flow streams A and B at 0% interest rate are both equal to $1,600.
Explanation:
a. Calculations of the present values of Cash Flow Stream A and B at 10% interest rate
The present value (PV) for a particular year can be calculated using the following formula:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n
Where:
PV = present value of a particular year
FV = Future value or cash stream of a particular year
r = interest rate = 10%
n = The particular year in focus
The present value of cash flow streams at a particular interest rate is the sum of the present values of Cash Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:
Present value of Cash flow stream A at 10% interest rate = (100 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (300 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,181.50
Present value of Cash flow streams B at 10% interest rate = (300 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (100 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,239.13
b. Calculations of the present values of Cash Flow Stream A and B at 0% interest rate
The present value of cash flow streams at a 0% is simply the sum of Cash Flow Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:
Present value of Cash flow stream A at 0% interest rate = $100 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $300 = $1,600
Present value of Cash flow streams B at 0% interest rate = $300 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $100 = $1,600
Mocha Company manufactures a single product by a continuous process, involving three production departments. The records indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 1 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $55,000, $65,000, and $80,000, respectively. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 1 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $60,000.

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.
Answer:
C. 60%
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00
Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00
Units started and completed = 6,500.00
Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).
Let % Completion be x
X% of 1500 = 900
X = 900*100/1500
X = 60%.

For Evaluating the effects of integrating purchasing, production, marketing, and distribution into a single system - Plant foreman
For Estimating increase in sales from higher customer satisfaction - Marketing director
For Estimate benefits and costs - All team members
Explanation:
a.)
If the ERP installation succeeds , the dollar amount of the benefit is as follows :
From more efficient order processing savings = $105,000
From streamlining the manufacturing process savings = $125,000
From reduce inventories savings = $225,000
From increased sales profit = $155,000
⇒Total benefit = $ 105,000 + 125,000 + 225,000 + 155,000
= $610,000
⇒Total benefit if the ERP installation succeeds = $610,000
b.)
Firstly check the Costs for installation of ERP:
Software cost = $435,000
Customizing ERP and loading data cost = $95,000
Employee training cost = $105,000
⇒Total cost = $ 435,000 + 95,000 + 105,000
= $635,000
⇒Total cost = $635,000
Now,
As we have
Total Benefit in installation of ERP = $610,000
Total cost in installation of ERP = $635,000
⇒Net benefit = $610,000 - $635,000 = -$ (25,000)
∴ we get
If Aqua Marine install the ERP system , them they face loss.
So, They should not install the ERP system.

Adriana and Belen are partners who share income in the ratio of 3:2 and have capital balances of $50,000 and $90,000 at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $90,000. How much cash should be distributed to Adriana
Answer:
$54,000
Explanation:
First, we add the ratios together to determine the total parts:
3+2= 5
Next, we divide the cash balance of $90,000 by the total parts:
$90,000/5 = $18,000
To find the amount of cash distributed to Adriana we multiply by her ratio:
5*18,000 = $54,000.

Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $573 million that must be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firm’s stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 6.6 percent, what is the present value of this liability?
Answer:
$159.59 million
Explanation:
The present value of the liability is the future value of the obligation which in this case is $573 million discounted at the 6.6% appropriate discount chosen by the analyst as shown below:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=the present value of the obligation=the unknown
FV=$573 million
r=discount rate=6.6%
n=number of years before the liability becomes due=20
PV=$573 million/(1+6.6%)^20
PV=$573 million/1.066^20
PV=$573 million/3.590410405
PV=$159.59 million
B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage
Answer:
Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.
Data Missing:
Buying Cost of House = $320000
Interest rate = 7%
Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.
Solution:
Data Given:
Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%
So,
Formula:
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
Where,
P = Buying Cost of House = $320000
i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07
A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05
C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.
n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.
So,
$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]
Taking 25525.8 common,

Explanation:
Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.
Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.
Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.
In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.
Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

AudioCables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $0.60 per unit and a selling price of $1.20 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current sales volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable costs would increase to $0.75, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. a. What is the current profit and proposed profit of the sales of AudioCables
Answer:
The answer is "$4,000 and $2,500"
Explanation:
Formula:
[tex]\text{Profit = Sales - Total cost}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\text{Selling price}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale} - ( \text{Fixed cost} + \frac{\text{Variable cost}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale})[/tex]
[tex]= 1.20 \times 30000 - ( 14,000 + 0.6 \times 30,000)\\\\= 36,000 -( 14,000 + 18,000)\\\\= 36,000 - 14,000 - 18,000 \\\\= 36,000 - 32,000 \\\\= \$ 4,000[/tex]
The scenario was revised by installing new audio connection equipment:
The volume of revised sales[tex]= 50,000[/tex]
Fixed cost updated [tex]= \$ 41,000 + \$ 6,000 = \$ 20,000[/tex]
Cost of the updated component [tex]= \frac{\$ 0.75}{unit}[/tex]
Unchanged purchase price/unit [tex]= \frac{\$ 1.2}{unit}[/tex]
[tex]= 1.2 \times 50,000 -(20,000 + 0.75 \times 50,000)\\\\= 60,000 -(20,000 + 37,500)\\\\= 60,000 -(57,500)\\\\= 60,000 -57,500 \\\\ =2,500[/tex]
Audio cable sales are actually profiting = 4,000
Proposal for audio cable sales profit = 2,500
Suppose the demand function for good X is given by: where is the quantity demanded of good X, is the price of good X, and is the price of good Y, which is related to good X. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is constant at $10 and the price of good Y decreases from $10 to $8, the cross price elasticity of demand is about:_________
Answer:
Quantity demanded is -0.4
Explanation:
Quantity demanded is -0.4 if the prices decline from $8 to $10. The cross price elasticity is the change in quantity demanded for the goods when the price of other goods changes. The price change can be minor and the quantity demanded change can be high.
Conrad, Inc. recently lost a portion of its records in an office fire. The following information was salvaged from the accounting records.
Cost of Goods Sold $ 65,000
Work-in-Process Inventory, Beginning 10,500
Work-in-Process Inventory, Ending 9,000
Selling and Administrative Expense 15,000
Finished Goods Inventory, Ending 15,000
Finished Goods Inventory, Beginning?
Direct Materials Used ?
Factory Overhead Applied 12,000
Operating Income 14,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 11,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured 60,000
Direct labor cost incurred during the period amounted to 1.5 times the factory overhead. The CFO of Fisher, Inc. has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and to report to him by the end of the day. What is the amount of direct materials used?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Direct materials used = Cost of goods manufactured - work in process inventory, beginning - factory overhead applied - direct labor + work in process inventory, ending
= $60,000 - $10,500 - $12,000 - (1.5 × $12,000) + $9,000

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,350 per month interest, if they can get 7 % interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.
Answer:
(a) The amount needed is $192,000.
(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.
Explanation:
Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
This can be calculated using the following future value formula:
FV = P / i ........................... (1)
Where;
FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?
P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200
i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000
Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value = $192,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125
n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:
$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)
$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075
M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075
M = $150.98
Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

Claudius invests $100,000 in cash in the partnership for a 20 percent ownership. The bonus method will be used. What are the capital balances for Messalina, Romulus, and Claudius after this investment is recorded
Answer: $216,000 , $144,000 , $90,000
Explanation:
The capital balances for Messalina, Romulus, and Claudius after this investment is recorded will be calculated thus:
Messalina:
Capital balance: $210,000
Bonus share: 60% × $10000 = $6,000
New capital balance: $216,000
Romulus:
Capital balance: $140,000
Bonus share: 40% × $10000 = $4,000
New capital balance: $144,000
Claudius:
Capital balance: $100,000
Bonus share: 10% × $10000 = ($10,000)
New capital balance: $90,000
The answer is $216,000 , $144,000 , $90,000
