Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $55,060 - $1,860) / 4 = $13,300 each year
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
( $55,060 - $1,860) / 7600 = 7
year 1 = 7 x 1400 = 9800
year 2 = 7 x 2700 = $18900
year 3 = 7 x 2300 = $16100
year 4 = 7 x 1200 = $8400
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 0.5
Year 1 = $55,060 x 0.5 = 27530
book value = $55,060 - 27530 = 27530
year 2 = 27530 x 0.5 = 13765
book value = 27530 - 13765 = 13765
year 3 = 13765 x 0.5 = 6882.50
Married taxpayers Otto and Ruth are both self-employed and file a joint return. Otto earns $435,200 of self-employment income and Ruth has a self-employment loss of $23,100. How much 0.9 percent Medicare tax for high-income taxpayers will Otto and Ruth have to pay with their 2020 income tax return?
Answer: $1,458.90
Explanation:
As they are filing together, the first step would be to find out the taxable income after accounting for Ruth's loss.
Total taxable income = Otto's earnings - Ruth's loss
= 435,200 - 23,100
= $412,100
There is an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on the amount that people file that is above $250,000 when they file jointly and are married..
The additional Medicare will be:
= (412,100 - 250,000) * 0.9%
= $1,458.90

Angle Company started business on January 1. During the year, the company purchased merchandise with an invoice price of $500,000. Angle also paid $20,000 freight on the merchandise. During the year, Angle also returned $80,000 of the merchandise to its suppliers. All purchases were paid for in a timely manner, and a $10,000 cash discount was taken. $418,000 of the merchandise was sold for $627,000. What is the December 31 balance in the Inventory account
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, the ending balance in inventory account is computed as seen below
= Merchandise purchased - merchandise withdrawn - Merchandise returned to suppliers + Cash discount taken
= $500,000 - $418,000 - $80,000 + $10,000
= $12,000
Therefore, the balance on the inventory account as at December 31 is $12,000

The following discussion focuses on the change in production and selling strategies of Timken Co., the Canton, Ohio, firm that is a major producer of bearings:
To counter the low prices of imports, Timken Co. in 2003 began bundling its bearings with other parts to provide industrial business customers with products specifically designed for their needs. Timken had begun bundling prelubricated, preassembled bearing packages for automobile manufacturers in the early 1990s. Evidence indicated that companies that sold integrated systems rather than discrete parts to the automobile manufacturers increased their sales. Other industrial customers put the same pressure on Timken in the late 1990s to lower prices, customize, or lose their business to lower-priced foreign suppliers. Manufacturers are increasingly combining a standard part with casings, pins, lubrication, and electronic sensors. Installation, maintenance, and engineering services may also be included. Suppliers, such as Timken, saw this as a means of increasing profits and making themselves more indispensable to the manufacturers. The strategy also required suppliers to remain in proximity with their customers, another advantage over foreign imports. This type of bundling does require significant research and development and flexible factories to devise new methods of transforming core parts into smart assemblies. The repackaging is more difficult for industrial than automobile customers because the volumes of production are smaller for the former. Timken also had to educate its customers on the variety of new products available.
Timken has an 11 percent share of the world market for bearings. However, imports into the United States doubled to $1.4 billion in 2002 compared with $660 million in 1997. Timken believes that the uniqueness of its product helps protect it from foreign competition. However, the company still lobbied the Bush administration to stop what it calls the dumping of bearings at low prices by foreign producers in Japan, Romania, and Hungary.
Required:
a. What factors in the economic environment, in addition to foreign imports, contributed to Timken’s new strategy in 2002 and 2003?
b. How does this strategy relate to the discussion of bundling presented in the chapter? What additional factors are presented in this case?
Answer:
Timken Co.
a. Factors in the Economic Environment that contributed to Timken;s new strategy in 2002 and 2003 in addition to foreign imports at cheaper prices:
1. The needs of industrial business customers for integrated systems
2. Lowering of prices resulting from bundling
3. Addition of installation, maintenance, and engineering services, leading to increasing profits
b. The relationship of this strategy to bundling
1. Remaining in proximity with customers
2. Significant research and development
3. Flexible factories
4. Education of customers on product variety
c. Additional factors presented in this case are:
1. Customization
2. Means of making entity more indispensable to manufacturers
3. Uniqueness of products
4. Lobbying to stop dumping
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Share of the world market for bearings = 11%
Value of bearing imports in 2002 = $1.4 billion
Value of bearing imports in 1997 = $660 million
b) Companies engage in bundling by offering their main products together with several others together with services as a single combined unit. This strategy always lowers the bundled price when compared with the prices of the separate products and services. Thus, companies that sell bundled products and services often achieve more sales at the expense of profits.
Suppose you purchase the winning lottery ticket after watching your favorite movie. From this experience, you believe that watching your favorite movie will help you win the lottery again. Which of the following concepts is most relevant?
a. exclusion of a relevant variable
b. scarcity the fallacy of composition
c. opportunity cost
d. post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy

Mcdormand inc reported a 3400 unfavorable price variance for variable overhead and a $34,000 nfavorable price variance for fixed overhead. The flexible budget had variable overhead based on 36,100 direct labor-hours; only 34,100 hours were worked. Total actual overhead was $1,810,400. The number of estimated hours for computing the fixed overhead application rate totaled 37,500 hours.
Required:
a. Prepare a variable overhead analysis.
b. Prepare a fixed overhead analysis.
Answer:
A. Variable overhead price variance 3400 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F
Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F
B. Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U
Production volume variance 28000 U
Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U
Explanation:
a. Preparation of a variable overhead analysis.
Variable overhead price variance = 3400 U
Calculation for Variable overhead efficiency variance
First step is to calculate the Actual input at standard rate
Actual input at standard rate = (34100*30)
Actual input at standard rate= 1023000
Second step is to calculate the Standard rate
Standard rate = 1083000/36100
Standard rate=30
Now let calculate Variable overhead efficiency variance
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (1083000-1023000)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 60000 F
Calculation for Variable overhead cost variance
Variable overhead cost variance = (60000-3400)
Variable overhead cost variance= 56600 F
Therefore the variable overhead analysis will be:
Variable overhead price variance 3400 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F
Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F
b. Preparation of a fixed overhead analysis.
Fixed overhead price variance = 34000 U
Calculation for Production volume variances
First step is to calculate Actual input at standard rate
Actual input at standard rate= 34100*30
Actual input at standard rate= 1023000
Second step is to calculate Fixed overhead actual
Fixed overhead actual= 1810400-(1023000+3400)
Fixed overhead actual= 784000
Third step is to calculate Budgeted fixed overhead
Budgeted fixed overhead = (784000-34000)
Budgeted fixed overhead = 750000
Fourth step is to calculate Fixed overhead applied
Fixed overhead applied= (750000/37500)*36100
Fixed overhead applied= 722000
Now let calculate Production volume variance
Production volume variance = (750000-722000) Production volume variance= 28000 U
Calculation to determine Fixed overhead cost variance
Fixed overhead cost variance = (28000+34000) Fixed overhead cost variance= 62000 U
Therefore fixed overhead analysis will be:
Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U
Production volume variance 28000 U
Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U

Contribution Margin Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2019 Sales (9,600 units at $225 each) $ 2,160,000 Variable costs (9,600 units at $180 each) 1,728,000 Contribution margin 432,000 Fixed costs 324,000 Pretax income $ 108,000 1. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $324,000
Unitary variable cost= $180
Selling price= $225
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 324,000 / (225 - 180)
Break-even point in units= 7,200
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 324,000 / (45/225)
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,620,000

Assuming an income tax rate of 40% for all years, the affect of this accounting change on prior periods should be reported by a credit of:____________
Answer:
$450,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine , the affect of this accounting change on prior periods that should be reported by a credit of:
Using this formula
Accounting change on prior periods=(2013 Percentage-of-Completion+2014 Percentage-of-Completion)-(2013 Completed-Contract+2014 Completed-Contract)*(1-Tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Accounting change on prior periods=[($900,000+$950,000)-($475,000+$625,000)]*(1-40%)
Accounting change on prior periods=($1,850,000-$1,100,000)*0.60
Accounting change on prior periods=$750,000*.60
Accounting change on prior periods=$450,000
Therefore Assuming an income tax rate of 40% for all years, the affect of this accounting change on prior periods should be reported by a credit of:$450,000

Service levels are reported accurately is an example of which control
Answer:
Service level measures the performance of a system. Certain goals are defined and the service level gives the percentage to which those goals should be achieved. Fill rate is different from service level.
Examples of service level:
Percentage of calls answered in a call center.
Percentage of customers waiting less than a given fixed time.
Percentage of customers that do not experience a stockout.
Percentage of all parts of an order being fulfilled completely
(Explanation) if one component part of an order is not filled the Service Level for that order is Zero, If all the component parts of an order are delivered except one is filled at 51%, the service level for that order is 51% (This system is often used in supply chain delivery to manufacturing), This is a very different from a simple order fill measurement which does not consider line items on the order.

Cash dividends of $50,000 were declared during the year. Cash dividends payable were $10,000 and $20,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. The amount of cash for the payment of dividends during the year is Group of answer choices $40,000 $50,000 $70,000 $60,000
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of cash for the payment of dividends during the year is shown below:
= Beginning dividends payable + Cash dividends Declared - Ending dividends payable
= $10,000 + $50,000 - $20,000
= $40,000
Hence, the amount of cash for the payment of dividends during the year is $40,000
A company took a physical inventory at the end of the year and determined that $833,000 of goods were on hand. In addition, the following items were not included in the physical count:
Management determined that $96,000 of goods purchased were in transit that were shipped f.o.b. destination (goods were actually received by the company three days after the inventory count)
The company sold $40,000 worth of inventory f.o.b. destination.
What amount should Bell report as inventory at the end of the year?
Answer:
$873,000
Explanation:
Calculation of amount of inventory reported by Bell at the end of year :
Inventory amount = $833,000 + $40,000
Inventory amount = $873,000
Therefore, the amount that Bell should report as inventory at the end of the year is $873,000.

You own a portfolio that has $2,600 invested in Stock A and $3,600 invested in Stock B. If the expected returns on these stocks are 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively, what is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
the expected return on the portfolio is $7,052
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:
Stock A return = $2,600 + 12% of 2600 = $2,912
And,
Stock B return = $3,600 + 15% of 3600 = $4,140
So,
Expected return on portfolio is
= $2,912 + $4,140
= $7,052
hence, the expected return on the portfolio is $7,052
After Jim has gotten two different quotes for repairing his brakes, one from the dealership and one from a small, private mechanic, he choses to go with the small mechanic who has agreed to do his brakes for $200.00 less than the dealership. Jim takes his car to the mechanic who begins working on his brakes. After a week passes, the mechanic calls him and tells him he is in over his head and cannot fix his brakes. Jim goes over to pick up his car and finds his car in the mechanic's garage with the brakes disassembled around the mechanic's garage. What legal recourse does Jim have?
Answer:
Primary estoppel
Explanation:
Primary estoppel is defined as the principle that a promise made by a promisor is enforceable most especially when a promisee believes the promise and this leads to a subsequent detriment.
In the given scenario Jim used a small mechanic to repair his brakes and was assured he could do the job.
However the mechanic calls him and tells him he is in over his head and cannot fix his brakes, and finds his car in the mechanic's garage with the brakes disassembled around the mechanic's garage.
He can resort to primary estoppel as a legal recourse.

While digital marketing has generated exciting opportunities for companies to interact with their customers, digital media are also more consumer-driven than traditional media. Internet users are creating and reading consumer-generated content as never before and having a profound effect on marketing in the process. Two factors have sparked the rise of consumer-generated information. The first is the increased tendency of consumers to publish their own thoughts, opinions, and reviews. The second is product discussions through blogs or digital media and consumers' tendencies to trust other consumers over corporations. Consumers often rely on the recommendations of family, friends, and fellow consumers when making purchasing decisions. Marketers who know where online users are likely to express their thoughts and opinions can use these forums to interact with consumers, address problems, and promote their companies. Types of digital media in which Internet users are likely to participate include blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, podcasts, social networking sites, virtual reality sites, and mobile applications.
Match the correct website to the correct type of digital media.
a. Blogs
b. Video Sharing
c. Virtual Worlds

On January 1, 2012, Fei Corp. issued a 3-year, 5% coupon, $100,000 face value bond. The bond was priced at an effective interest rate of 8%, yielding proceeds of $92,137. This is the first and only bond that Fei has ever issued.
Fei’s Statement of Cash Flows for fiscal year 2012 had the following line items:
2012 2011
Net Income $11,500 $10,350
Depreciation $25,478 $23,675
Amortization of Bond Discount $2,418 $0
What was Fei’s Interest Expense on the bond during fiscal year 2012?
a. $2,418
b. $7,371
c. $7,418
d. $8,000
e. $5,000
Answer:
c. $7,418
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What was Fei’s Interest Expense on the bond during fiscal year 2012
Using this formula
Interest Expense =Interest payable+Amortization of bonds discount interest expense
Let plug in the morning
Interest Expense=(5%*100,000)+$2,418
Interest Expense=$5,000+$2,418
Interest Expense=$7,418
Therefore Fei’s Interest Expense on the bond during fiscal year 2012 is $7,418
Suppose the annual inflation rate in the US is expected to be 2.5 %, while it is expected to be 18.00 % in Mexico. The current spot rate (on 1/1/X0) for the Mexican Peso (MXN) is $0.1000. If the spot rate of MXN turns out to be $0.085 on 1/1/X1, the net cash flow of a US importer from Mexico will: Group of answer choices Increase Decrease
Answer:
Increase
Explanation:
In putting the question into a better perspective let us assume that the US importer buys goods from Mexico every year to the Tune of 1,000,000 Mexican Pesos.
The expected exchange rate on 1/1/X1=$0.1000*(1+2.5%)/(1+18%)
The expected exchange rate on 1/1/X1=$0.086864407
Amount paid based on expected exchange rate=1,000,000*$0.086864407
Amount paid based on expected exchange rate=$86,864.41
Amount paid based on actual exchange=1,000,000*$0.085
Amount paid based on actual exchange=$85,000
The above means that the US importer paid a lesser amount($85000) than it should have paid, hence, its net cash flow would increase due to a reduction in payment
Porter Corporation has fixed costs of $660,000, variable costs of $24 per unit, and a contribution
margin ratio of 40 percent.
Compute the following:
a. Unit sales price and unit contribution margin for the above product.
b. The sales volume in units required for Porter Corporation to earn an operating income of
$300,000.
c. The dollar sales volume required for Porter Corporation to earn an operating income of
$300,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The unit sale price is
But before that the variable cost ratio is
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Now the unit sale price i
= $24 × 100% ÷ 60%
= $40
Now the contribution margin per unit is
= $40 - $24
= $16
b. the sales volume in units is
= Fixed cost + operating income ÷ contribution margin per unit
= ($660,000 + $300,000) ÷ $16
= 60,000 units
c. Sales volume in dollars is
= Fixed cost + operating income ÷ contribution margin ratio
= ($660,000 + $300,000) ÷ 40%
= $2,400,000
A restaurant is considering buying a new coffee making machine, which will be replaced over and over with a new one when an old one dies. Each coffee making machine costs $143,000, and is expected to die after exactly 6-years. Each machine will costs $10,200 per year to operate. The discount rate that the restaurant assigns to this coffee making machine project is 11 percent per year. The straight-line depreciation method would be used when calculating the machine's loss of value for tax purposes. Each coffee making machine will be fully depreciated all the way to zero at the end of its life. Also, each coffee making machine will have a before-tax salvage value of $10,500 at the end of its life. The restaurant's tax rate is 25 percent. As always, assume that all cash flows occur at year end. If the restaurant buys a coffee making machine over and over in perpetuity, as soon as one dies, what would be the average, or the equivalent, annual cost (EAC) of the machine?
Answer:
Coffee Making Restaurant
If the restaurant buys a coffee making machine in perpetuity, the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of the machine will be:
Equivalent annual cost of the machine = $44,994
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment cost of machine = $143,000
Expected useful life = 6 years
Discount rate = 11%
Annual operating cost = $10,200
Before-tax salvage value = $10,500
Applicable tax rate = 25%
After-tax salvage value = $7,875
Annuity factor for 6 years at 11% = 4.231
Present value of costs:
Initial investment = $143,000 ($143,000 * 1)
Annual operating cost = 43,156 ($10,200 * 4.231)
Salvage value = (4,213) ($7,875 * 0.535)
Total costs = $190,369
Equivalent annual cost of the machine = $44,994 ($190,369/4.231)
Suppose that 45% of all babies born in a particular hospital are girls. If 7 babies born in the hospital are randomly selected, what is the probability that at most of them are girls?
Answer:
0.10
Explanation:
Using the binomial probability formula: P(X = x) = (nCx) * p^x * (1 - p)^(n-x)
P(X≤1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)
P(X≤1) = (7C0) * 0.45^0 * (0.55)^7 + (7C1) * 0.45^1 * (0.55)^6
P(X≤1) = 0.1024
P(X≤1) = 0.10
So, the Probability that at most one of them are girls 0.10.
Wallace Publishers Inc. collects 50% of its sales on account in the month of the sale and 50% in the month following the sale. If sales on account are budgeted to be $380,000 for April and $334,000 for May, what are the budgeted cash receipts from sales on account for May
Answer:
Total cash collection may= $362,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Wallace Publishers Inc. collects 50% of its sales on account in the month of the sale and 50% in the month following the sale.
Sales on account:
April= $380,000
May= $334,000
Cash collection May:
Sales on account from May= 344,000*0.5= 172,000

Total cash collection may= $362,000
If a firm is privately owned, and its stock is not traded in public markets, then we cannot measure its beta for use in the CAPM model, we cannot observe its stock price for use in the dividend growth model, and we don't know what the risk premium is for use in the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method. All this makes it especially difficult to estimate the cost of equity for a private company. True False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Beta enables us to be able to calculate the risk of a stock in relation to how the market is moving. This is known as the systematic risk. Beta, needs to be calculated on based on the trading data of the stock.
If the stock is not publicly traded, it would not have the trading data required to find the beta. As we cannot get the beta, we would be unable it to calculate the return on stock and therefore the dividend growth model.
