7. A generous benefactor pledges $1 million to The Smith Foundation, a NPO that promotes the arts. The gift is to be used to provide scholarships for talented musicians at a music camp operated by the Foundation. The gift was given in August 2006 to support the Summer 2007 music program. The Foundation Director argues that the gift is a conditional restricted gift and therefore cannot be recognized as revenue in 2006. The accountant argues that the gift is an unconditional restricted gift and must be recognized in the current year. What is the basis for the Director’s argument? What is the basis for the accountant’s argument? In your answer provide an explanation of the terms conditional, unconditional, restricted and unrestricted.
Answer:
What is the basis for the Director’s argument?
The director believes that this is a temporarily restricted contribution and therefore it should be classified as restricted and recognized in 2007 once it can be classified as unrestricted.What is the basis for the accountant’s argument?
Unconditional gifts or donations must be recognized when they are made, and since the money was received in 2006, it should be recognized then.Explanation:
I agree with the Director since this is a restricted donation, i.e. the donor established strict conditions for its use both in time and purpose. For it to be unconditional, the donor should have stated that the money could be used in the best way that the NPO considers and at any time. But instead it established that it must be used to provide scholarships to musicians during 2007.
Both a condition and a restriction exits:
the restriction refers to the time: 2007the condition refers to its use: scholarships for musiciansZoum Corporation had the following transactions during the year: Issued $250,000 of par value common stock for cash.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000 and the rate of return is 12 percent per year, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now to have the $5,000 in five years
Answer:
$2837.13
Explanation:
The account value is multiplied by 1 +12% = 1.12 each year, so at the end of 5 years, it will have been multiplied by 1.12^5. For some investment P, we want ...
5000 = P×1.12^5
5000/1.12^5 = P ≈ $2837.13
James must deposit about $2837.13 now to have the required amount in 5 years.

The Berkel Corporation manufactures Widgets, Gizmos, and Turnbols from a joint process. June production is 5,000 widgets; 8,750 gizmos; and 10,000 turnbols. Respective per unit selling prices at splitoff are $75, $50, and $25. Joint costs up to the splitoff point are $187,500. If joint costs are allocated based upon the sales value at splitoff, what amount of joint costs will be allocated to the widgets
Answer:
Allocated join cost = $66,176.47
Explanation:
The joint cost is allocated using sales. This is done by using the proportion of sales of the total which is attributed to the sales value of widget
Total sales value of the three products=
(75 × 5,000) + ($50× 8,750) + ( $25× 10,000)= 1,062,500
Joint cost = $187,500.
Joint costs allocated to Widget
= (75 × 5,000)/1,062,500 × $187,500. = 66,176.47
Allocated join cost =$66,176.47

Garcia's Garage desires to create some colorful charts and graphs to illustrate how reliably its mechanics "get under the hood and fix the problem." The historic average for the proportion of customers that return for the same repair within the 30-day warranty period is 0.09.Each month, Garcia tracks 100customers to see whether they return for warranty repairs. The results are plotted as a proportion to report progress toward the goal. If the control limits are to be set at twostandard deviations on either side of the goal, determine the control limits for this chart. In March, 5of the 100customers in the sample group returned for warranty repairs. Is the repair process in control?
Answer:
the given question historic average is given as 0.09 for 100 customers.
Therefore,
P = 0.09 and n = 100
The control liimits are to be set two standard deviation around the mean.
Standard deviation =
\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n)}
Therefore substitutin g the value in the above formula:
\sigma = \sqrt{0.09(1-0.09)/100)}
After soving we get result as:
\sigma = 0.0286
Upper Control Limit = 0.09 + 2 * \sigma = 0.09 + (2 * 0.0286) = 0.1472
Lower Control Liimit = = 0.09- 2 * \sigma = 0.09 - (2 * 0.286) = -0.0328
For March, 5 out of 100 customers returned for warranty repairs, therefore,
p for March = 5/100 = 0.05
The process doses not fall under control limits, so it is out of control for March.
The Essex Company found that an average of 10 days elapses between when customer payments are received and the deposited funds clear the customer's bank and become usable by the firm. Essex's annual sales are $240 million. (Assume 365 days per year when converting from annual data to daily data or vice versa.) What is the increase in Essex's average cash balance assuming that it can reduce the time required to process customer payments by 3 days through more efficient payment processing methods
Answer:
$1,972,602.74
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Increase in Essex’s Average Cash Balance = (Annual Sales ÷ Days Per Year) × Required Process Customer by Days
= (240,000,000 ÷ 365) × 3
= 657,534.25 × 3
= $1,972,602.74
According to the analysis, Increase in Essex’s average cash balance is $1,972,602.74
Grey Inc. has been purchasing a component, Z for $85 a unit. The company is currently operating at 75% of full capacity, and no significant increase in production is anticipated in the near future. The cost of manufacturing a unit of Z, determined by absorption costing method, is estimated as follows: Direct materials $30 Direct labor 15 Variable factory overhead 26 Fixed factory overhead 10 Total $81 Prepare a differential analysis report, dated March 12 of the current year, on the decision to make or buy Part Z.
Answer:
The difference between buying and making is $14 per unit. It is $14 cheaper to make the unit.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $85 a unit.
Variable cost per unit:
Direct materials $30
Direct labor 15
Variable factory overhead 26
Because there is unused capacity, the fixed costs won't increase. Fixed factory overhead should not be taken into account.
Total unitary variable cost= $71
The difference between buying and making is $14 per unit. It is $14 cheaper to make the unit.
Sarafiny Corporation is in the process of preparing its annual budget. The following beginning and ending inventory levels are planned for the year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Finished goods (units) 27,000 77,000 Raw material (grams) 57,000 47,000 Each unit of finished goods requires 3 grams of raw material. The company plans to sell 740,000 units during the year. The number of units the company would have to manufacture during the year would be:
Answer:
790,000
Explanation:
Data provided
Budgeted sales = 740,000
Desired ending inventory = 77,000
Beginning inventory = 27,000
The computation of number of units is shown below:-
Number of units to be manufactured = Budgeted sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory
= 740,000 + 77,000 - 27,000
= 817,000 - 27,000
= 790,000
Therefore for computing the number of units manufactured we simply applied the above formula.
A perfectly competitive firm is a: Group of answer choices price taker, because it must accept the market equilibrium price. price participant, because it can coordinate its pricing decisions with other firms. price maker, because it has the freedom to set the selling price. price leader; it can change its price and other firms will adjust.
Answer:
A. price taker, because it must accept the market equilibrium price.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive firm is an ideal firm in which different firms sell products that are homogeneous or similar in nature. They are price takers because the prices of goods are determined by changes in demand and supply, therefore they must accept the market equilibrium price. They do not attempt to fix the prices of commodities. The opposite of this type of firm is a monopoly where a firm has complete control of a market, having the ability to change prices as it wills.
An example can be found among businesses that sell similar kinds of products. It could be in the form of grocery stores that sell similar wares. When any of the sellers leave the market, it does not affect the other sellers as their prices are at equilibrium. Therefore, anyone can enter or exit this type of market.
Milton Friedman argues that __________.
O corporations today should adopt a broader view of their social responsibilities than they have in the past.
O corporate officials have a social responsibility that goes beyond serving the interests of their stockholders.
O strict governmental controls are necessary if society is to maximize its overall economic well-being.
O a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Answer:
Milton Friedman argues that a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Explanation:
Milton Friedman is known to hold an opposing view when compared to that of John Keynes about economic theory.
Whereas Milton Friedman believes that the utmost responsibility of any company is to the shareholders, the Keynesian are more consumer focused.
Milton Friedman believes strongly in free capitalism and as a result does not advocate for any company offering corporate social responsibility to the society or public.
If the government set a price ceiling of $40, there would be: Group of answer choices a shortage (or excess supply) of about 8 units a shortage (or excess supply) of about 12 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 12 units
Answer:
A surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units
Explanation:
The picture attached shows the diagram necessary for the question which is part of the question. Solution is given below;
At the above ceiling at price of 40$
Quantity supplied will be 16
Quantity demanded will be 24
So when demand is more than supply than there will be a shortage in quantity by (24-16) 8 units.
When there is demand more than supply than it is an excess demand.
So surplus or excess demand by 8 units.
Peggy sells pistachios and almonds at the farmer’s market. She currently prices pistachios at $7 per bag and almonds at $4 per bag. She observes that every hour, 4 people each buy one bag of pistachios and 2 people each buy one bag of almonds. Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?
Answer:
The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9
Explanation:
Solution
The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14
The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4
So,
The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18
Thus,
we solve for getting average of the two which is:
Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2
=9
Therefore p =9
Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.
Answer:
The answer is 5000 future contracts
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company
Nowm,
The Required coverage = 500,000,000
The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000
Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000
So,
= 500,000,000/100,000 = 5000
Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000
The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, __________ rises, the __________ curve shifts __________, inventory levels unexpectedly __________, and business firms __________ the quantity of goods and services they produce. Group of answer choices consumption; TE; downward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; rise; decrease investment; TE; upward; fall; increase investment; TP; leftward; fall; increase
Explanation:
The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. That is total production is equal to total production.
Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, consumption rises, the TE(total expenditure) curve shifts upwards, inventory levels unexpectedly falls, and business firms increases the quantity of goods and services they produce.

he following data has been collected about Keller Company's stockholders' equity accounts: Common stock $10 par value 30,000 shares authorized and 15,000 shares issued, 2,000 shares outstanding $150,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 60,000 Retained earnings 35,000 Treasury stock 25,000 Assuming the treasury shares were all purchased at the same price, the number of shares of treasury stock is:
Answer:
13,000 shares
Explanation:
data provided for computing the number of shares of treasury stock is here below:-
Issued Share = 15,000
Outstanding Shares = 2,000
The computation of the number of shares of treasury stock is shown below:-
Number of shares of treasury stock = Issued Share - Outstanding Shares
= 15,000 - 2,000
= 13,000 shares
Therefore for computing the number of shares of treasury stock we simply deduct the outstanding share from issued shares.
The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 26 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $367.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $457 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $7. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $8.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Answer:
this special order will result in a $2,637 profit, so the company should accept it

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, KB Home and other builders found demand for new houses increasing in 2017 as a result of an increase in the formation of new households. In the long run, formation of new households depends on population growth. Source: Laura Kusisto and Sarah Chaney, "U.S. Housing Starts Fell in April for Third Time in Four Months," Wall Street Journal, May 16, 2017. Are firms like homebuilders that sell products whose demand depends partly on demographic factors likely to be more or less affected by the business cycle than are other firms whose products are less dependent on these factors (holding constant other factors that affect the demand for new houses)? Briefly explain.
Answer:
Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.
This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.
Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.

Actual price paid for material per pound $1.80 $2.10
Direct materials price variance $1,120 U $1,920 U
Direct materials quantity variance $100 F ?
Total direct material variance ? $480 U
Number of units produced 100 400
Calculate missing direct material variables
Answer:
Explanation:
For Medium speed bump
AQ AP AQ SP SQ SP
1,400 $ 1.80 1,400 $ 1.00 1,500 $ 1.00
$ 2,520.00 $ 1,400.00 $ 1,500.00
A B C
DMPV A-B $ 1,120.00 U
DMQV C-B $ 100.00 F
DMV A-C $ 1,020.00 U
We know that Direct material price variance = AQ(AP-SP) = 1120
AQ = 1120/(AP-SP)
AQ = 1120/(1.80-1.00)
AQ = 1,400
SQ = 100 x 15 = 1500
For Large speed bump
AQ AP AQ SP SQ SP
6,400 $ 2.10 6,400 $ 1.80 7,200 $ 1.80
$ 13,440.00 $ 11,520.00 $ 12,960.00
A B C
DMPV A-B $ 1,920.00 U
DMQV C-B $ 1,440.00 F
DMV A-C $ 480.00 U
Using this equation , DMV = DMPV + DMQV
DMQV = DMV-DMPV
DMQV = 480-1920
DMQV = 1440 F
Direct material quantity variance = SP(SQ-AQ) = 1440
SQ-AQ = 1440/SP
1440/SP + AQ = SQ
1440/1.8 + 6400 = SQ
SQ = 7200

1.Calculate the following profitability ratios for 2021: (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
The four main profitability ratios are:
gross profit margin = (revenue - COGS) / revenue = ($8,400,000 - $5,535,600) / $8,400,000 = 0.341 or 34.1%net profit margin = net profit / revenue = $332,500 / $8,400,000 = 0.03958 or 3.96%return on assets = net income / average total assets = $332,500 / [($3,700,000 + $3,300,000)/2] = $332,500 / $3,500,000 = 0.095 or 9.5%return on equity = net income / shareholders equity = $332,500 / $1,000,000 = 0.3325 or 33.25%2.Determine the amount of dividends paid to shareholders in 2021.
retained earnings 2021 - retained earnings 2020 = net income - dividends
$250,000 - $150,000 = $332,500 - dividends
$100,000 + dividends = $332,500
dividends = $332,500 - $100,000 = $232,500
