Effective semiannual interest rate = Effective interest / Previous outstanding balance ……………………. (1)
Using Payment 1 information, we have:
Effective semiannual interest rate = 409 / 9,080 = 0.0450, or 4.50%
Effective annual interest rate = Effective semiannual interest rate * Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.50% * 2 = 9.0%
Therefore, the correct option a. 9.0%.
An example of a good that is excludable is: _________
a) an outdoor sculpture visible from the street.

An example of a good that is excludable is television set
XYZ Tile Installation Corporation measures its activity in terms of square feet of tile installed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 1,180 square feet and the actual level of activity was 1,270 square feet. The company's owner budgets for supply costs, a variable cost, at $3.50 per square foot. The actual supply cost last month was $4,980. What would have been the spending variance for supply costs
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$535 U". A further explanation is described below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Actual level of activity,
= 1270
Budgeted variable cost,
= $3.50
Actual supply cost,
= $4980
Now,
The spending variance for supply costs will be:
= [tex](Actual \ level \ of \ activity\times Budgeted \ variable \ cost)\times Actual \ supply \ cost[/tex]
= [tex](1270\times 3.50)-4980[/tex]
= [tex]4445-4980[/tex]
= [tex]535[/tex] (unfavorable)

Please EXPLAIN answer for a thumps-up. I'm tried of wrong answers, please don't answer it unless you are 100% sure.
Answer:
A. The correct option is b. $46,067.
B. The correct option is d. $46,620.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
A. Assuming that Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part A of the attached excel file for the calculation of the of units and cost of goods available for sale.
Since Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, this implies that this is a periodic inventory system. And update to inventory in a periodic inventory system are made on a regular basis, such as monthly, quarterly, etc.
From the part A attached excel file, we have:
Units of goods available for sale = 23,100
Cost of goods available for sales = $236,481
Weighted-average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sales / Units of goods available for sale = $236,481 / 23,100 = $10.2372727272727
Inventory at January 31 = Units of inventory balance at January 31 * Weighted-average cost per unit = 4,500 * $10.2372727272727 = $46,068
From the options the closest one is b. $46,067. Therefore, the inventory at January 31 is $46,067 and the correct option is b. $46,067.
B. Assuming that Rich maintains perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the moving-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part B of the attached excel file for the calculation of the inventory at January 31 (in bold red color).
Under Perpetual Inventory system, the inventory is updated whenever a purchase or sale is made. It's a procedure that happens in real time.
In the Part B of the attached excel file, the following rates in light red color are made as follows:
Rate on January 6 = ($87,930 + $61,800) / 15,000 = $9.98 per unit
Rate on January 26 = ($74,865 + 86,751) / 15,600 = $10.36 per unit
From the part B attached excel file, we have:
Inventory at January 31 = $46,620.
Therefore, the correct option is d. $46,620.

What is the present value of a 10-year annuity of $3,000 per period in which payments come at the beginning of each period
Answer: $18984.9
Explanation:
Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the interest rate. Let's assume that the interest rate is 12%.
Therefore, the present value will be:
= 3000 + 3000[1 - (1 + 0.12)^-10+1] / 0.12
= 3000 + (3000 × 5.3283)
= 3000 + 15984.9
= 18984.9
Therefore, the present value is $18984.9

Zebra Company sells a segment of its operations at a loss. Zebra has not previously experienced such an event and does not expect to again. The loss from the disposal of the segment should be reported in the income statement as: Select one: A. A separate amount in comprehensive income B. A separate amount in net income from continuing operations C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section D. As part of cost of goods sold
Answer:
C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section
Explanation:
Since in the given situation it is mentioned that zebra co sells the segment at a loss so this loss from the sale of the segment that should be reported in the income statement as the distinct amount in the discontinued operating section as the same below the income from continuing operations
Hence, the correct option is c.
Answer:
The answer is "Option C".
Explanation:
The discontinued operations are parts of a company's core business or product line that have been sold or shut down and thus are reported separately on the financial statements from ongoing operations. As a result, any loss from the sale of the segment should indeed be reported as a separate amount inside the income statement's discontinued operations column.
If a court determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing, a. the manager is automatically personally liable to the corporation. b. the transaction being challenged will be automatically voided. c. the manager will automatically be fired. d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Answer:
d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.
Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.
In Business management, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing i.e putting his or her own interests first, the business judgment rule will not apply.
Generally, in order for the business judgement rule to apply, it is expected or required that a manager should act in the best interest of a corporation.

Which of the following non-GAAP disclosures is LEAST LIKELY to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income:
a. Goodwill impairment
b. Inventory write down
c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary
d. Gain on sale of an asset
Answer: c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.
Explanation:
GAAP refers to the industry standard and it gives a clear view of the operations of a business from a financial point of view. On the other hand, the non-GAAP disclosure deviates from the industry standard and in such case, adjustments are made to show company's operations.
The non-GAAP disclosures which is least likely to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income is the currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.

Accounts receivable $33,000
Depreciation expense 12,000
Land 27,000
Cost of goods sold 90,000
Retained earnings 59,000
Cash 9,000
Equipment 71,000
Supplies 6,000
Accounts payable 23,000
Service revenue 20,000
Interest expense 4,000
Common stock 10,000
Income tax expense 12,000
Accumulated depreciation 45,000
Long-term debt 40,000
Supplies expense 14,000
Merchandise inventory 31,000
Sales revenue 140,000
Required:
a. Calculate the total current assets at December 31, 2019.
b. Calculate the total liabilities and owners’ equity at December 31, 2019.
c. Calculate the earnings from operations (operating income) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
d. Calculate the net income (or loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
e. What was the average income tax rate for Pope’s Garage for 2019?
f. If $16,000 of dividends had been declared and paid during the year, what was the January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below
= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory
= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000
= $79,000
b The total liabilities and owners equity is
= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings
= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000
= $132,000
c. The earnings from operations is
Sales revenue $140,000
Less cost of goods sold $90,000
Gross profit $50,000
add: service revenue $20,000
Less depreciation expense $12,000
Less supplies expense $14,000
Operating income $44,000
d. The net income is
= operating income - interest expense - income tax expense
= $44,000 - $4,000 - $12,000
= $28,000
e. The average income tax rate is
= $12,000 ÷ $40,000 × 100
= 30%
f. The beginning retained earnings is
= $59,000 + $16,000 - $28,000
= $47,000
Equipment acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $30,800 has an estimated residual value of $2,800 and an estimated useful life of four years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3
Answer:
$28000
25%
$7000
Explanation:
Depreciable cost = cost of the asset - residual value
$30,800 - $2800 = $28,000
The straight-line rate = annual depreciation expense / Depreciable cost
7000 / 28,000 x 100 = 25%
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$28,000 / 4 = $7000
Rosalia White will invest $3,000 in an IRA for the next 30 years starting at the end of this year. The investment will earn 13 percent annually. How much will she have at the end of 30 years
Answer:
$879,597.65
Explanation:
The future value of an ordinary annuity formula is applicable in this case, since an ordinary annuity is such that payments into the accounts are expected to occur at the end of the periods rather than at the beginning of each year:
FV=yearly payment*(1+r)^n-1/r
yearly payment=$3,000
r=13%
n=number of annual payments =30
FV=$3000*(1+13%)^30-1/13%
FV=$3000*(1.13)^30-1/0.13
FV=$3000*(39.11589796-1)/0.13
FV=$3000*38.11589796/0.13
FV=$879,597.65

Year Nominal GDP Real GDP GDP Deflator (Dollars) (Base year 2016, dollars) 2016 2017 2018 From 2017 to 2018, nominal GDP , and real GDP. The inflation rate in 2018 was.
Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Real GDP is defined as the Nominal GDP minus the inflation effect.
Real GDP provides a more accurate picture of economic growth than nominal GDP because it uses constant prices, making comparisons between years more meaningful by allowing for comparisons of the actual volume of goods and services without considering inflation.
Let's say you bought apples at 5dollars per pound in 2015. Imagining a country of 1000 people and considering everyone bought a pound apples and only apples in that year, the GDP comes out to be 1000*5 = 5000 dollars.
Now let's say inflation rate is 10 percent in 2016 which will increase the price to 5.5 dollars per pound. Also, in one year, 10 more people were added to the country (No of births - No of deaths = New people in that year), this brings out total population to around 1010.
Also, let's say that the sale of apples remained the same, so the GDP of 2016 comes out to be 1000*5.5 = 5500 dollars.
That's a whooping 10% increase in GDP, right?
But here the catch.
The GDP increased not because the demand increased, but because the price of the good increased.
If we see at previous year's price (Not considering the inflation, also called Real GDP), the GDP is same which is 5000 dollars.
So, in reality, there isn't any increase in GDP.
The following information was taken from Charu Company's balance sheet: Fixed assets (net) $860,000 Long-term liabilities 200,000 Total liabilities 600,000 Total stockholders’ equity 250,000 Determine the company's (a) ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities and (b) ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity. If required, round your answers to one decimal place. a. Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities fill in the blank 1 b. Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity
Answer:
A. 4.3
B. 2.4
Explanation:
(a) Calculation to determine ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities
Using this formula
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities =Fixed assets (net)/Long-term liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities= $860,000 /$200,000
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities=4.3
Therefore Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities is 4.3
(b) Calculation to determine ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity
Using this formula
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity=Liabilities/Total stockholders’ equity
Let plug in the formula
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity=$600,000 /$250,000
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity=2.4
Therefore ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity is 2.4

You have just deposited $9,000 into an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.1 percent each year for the next 7 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 15 years from today, you need to have $25,650 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 8 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
Annual interest rate = 8.23%
Explanation:
The annual interest rate i must have earn over the last 8 years to accomplish this goal is:
= ((25650/(9000*(1+6.1%)^7))^(1/8))-1
= ((25650/(9000*1.513588))^(1/8)) - 1
= ((25650/13622.29)^(1/8) - 1
= 1.882943323038931^(1/8) - 1
= 1.08231743862 - 1
= 0.08231743862
= 8.231743862%
= 8.23%
A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,500,000 and can be sold for $715,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Hint: 1. Find the remaining book value at the end. 2. Subtract this from the expected sale price to find the gain on sale. 3. Apply the tax rate to this gain to find the taxes owed. 4. The after-tax salvage value is the sale price minus the taxes.
a) $715,000.
b) $752,468.
c) $540,444.
d) $677,532.
e) $471,900.
Answer:
d) $677,532.
Explanation:
1.
Written down value of the equipment after 4 years = Cost x ( 100% - 1st year MACRS - Second-year MACRS - Third-year MACRS - Fourth-year MACRS ) = $3,500,000 x ( 100% - 20% - 32% - 19.20% - 11.52% ) = $604,800
2.
Now calculate the gain on the sale of equipment
Gain on the sale of equipment = Sale Price - Written down Value after 4 years = $715,000 - $604,800 = $110,200
3.
Tax owed = Gain on the sale x Tax rate = $110,200 x 34% = $37,468
After-tax salvage value = Sales price - Tax = $715,000 - $37,468 = $677,532

Since the middle of the 20th century, the international global business system has been shaped by global institutions. Countries have established these institutions to address the global issues that span their borders.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This statement is correct, as global institutions were created with the objective of regulating global business from international treaties, which implemented a set of rules and regulations that must be followed by all organizations in a global market, as a form of protection to organizations, society and the environment, such as legislative and economic changes, crises and possible negative impacts inherent to organizations in a global business system.
Crane Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,290,700 and retained earnings of $4,708,100 at December 31, 2020. Crane later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $116,750 and $32,910, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.
Answer:
Adjusted Cost of Goods sold = $1,206,860Adjusted Retained Earnings = $4,675,190Explanation:
An overstated opening inventory would overstate Cost of Goods sold. The overstatement should therefore be removed from the Cost of goods sold.
An overstated closing inventory would understate Cost of Goods sold. The overstatement should therefore be added to the Cost of Goods sold.
Adjusted Cost of Goods sold 2020 = Cost of Goods sold + 2020 ending inventory - 2019 opening inventory
= 1,290,700 + 32,910 - 116,750
= $1,206,860
Adjusted Retained earnings
The retained earnings would have to be adjusted for the overstatement of the current inventory by $32,910 because this understated Cost of Goods sold.
= Retained earnings - Overstatement of inventory
= 4,708,100 - 32,910
= $4,675,190
Assume that Nortel manufactures specialty electronic circuitry through a unique photoelectronic process. One of the primary products, Model ZX40, has a standard labor time of 0.5 hour and a standard labor rate of $12.50 per hour. During February, the following activities pertaining to direct labor for ZX40 were recorded:
Direct labor hours used 2,230
Direct labor cost $34,000
Units of ZX40 manufactured 4,800
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate variance.
b. Determine the labor efficiency variance.
c. Determine the total flexible budget labor cost variance.
Answer:
A = $6,125
B = $2,125
C = $6,125
Explanation:
Standard Labor Time = 0.5 hours, Standard Labor rate = $12.50 per hour, Standard Time = 4800 * 0.5hour P U = 2400 hours
Actual labor time used = 2,230, Direct labor Cost = $34,000 per hour =$15.25 , Units manufactured = 4,800
(a) Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - standard cost of Actual Hours = $34,000 - ($12.50 * 2230) = $34,000 - $27,875 = $6,125 Favorable
(b) Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Cost of Actual Hours - Standard Cost = (2,230 * 12.50) - (12.50 * 2400) = $27,875 - $30,000 = $2,125 Unfavorable
(c) Flexible budget labor cost variance = Flexible Budget cost - Actual Cost = (Actual qty * Std Rate) - (Actual qty - Actual Rate) = (2,230 * $12.50) - $34,000 = $27,875 - $34,000 = $6,125 Unfavorable
Standard and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 1,000 units of product were as follows:
Actual costs 1,550 lbs. at $9.10
Standard costs 1,600 lbs. at $9.00
Determine the (a) quantity variance, (b) price variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance. Enter favorable variances as negative numbers.
a. Quantity variance $______
b. Price variance $______
c. Total direct materials cost variance
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a.
Materials quantity variance is
= (Actual quantity used × Standard price) - (Standard quantity allowed × Standard Price)]
= (1550 × 9.00) - (1600 × 9.00)
= $(450.00)
= $450 favorable
b.
Direct materials price variance is
Materials Price Variance = (Actual quantity purchased × Actual price) - (Actual quantity purchased × Standard price)
= (1550 × 9.10) - (1550 ×$9.00)
= $155
= $155 unfavorable
c.
Total direct materials cost variance is
= Materials quantity variance + Direct materials price variance
= -$450 + $155
= -$295
= $295 Favorable
