Answer:
The accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after the write-off entry is $378,500
Explanation:
Allowance for bad debt = $34,500
Bad debt written off = $31,400
Credit balance in allowance for bad debts = Allowance for bad debt - Bad debt written off
= $34,500 - $31,400
= $3,100
The balance in receivables account = ($413,000 - $31,400) - ($34,500 - $31,400)

D. debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000 and credit Equipment for $66, 000
Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the equipment on the date of sale.
Net Book Value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Net Book value = 72000 - 66000 = $6000
The gain/(loss) on disposal = Sales Proceeds - Net Book value
The gain/(loss) on disposal = 10000 - 6000 = $4000 Gain
The entry to record this transaction will be,
Cash $10000 Dr
Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $66000 Dr
Equipment $72000 Cr
Gain on sale-Equipment $4000 Cr

Central Systems desires a weighted average cost of capital of 12.7 percent. The firm has an aftertax cost of debt of 4.8 percent and a cost of equity of 15.4 percent. What debt-equity ratio is needed for the firm to achieve its targeted weighted average cost of capital?
a. 0.37
b. 0.44
c. 0.42
d. 0.56
e. 0.34
Answer:
e. 0.34
Explanation:
Let debt be $D
Equity be $E
Total=(D+E)
WACC = Respective cost * Respective weight
12.7 = {(D*4.8)/(D+E)} + {(15.4*E)/(D+E)}
12.7*(D+E)=4.8D+15.4E
12.7D+12.7E=4.8D+15.4E
D=(15.4-12.7)E /(12.7-4.8)
D = 2.7E / 7.9
D = 0.0341772
D = 0.34 E
Hence, debt-equity ratio=debt/equity
=0.34

Answer:
Net operating income= $5,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $98 per unit
Sales= 11,000 units
Variable cost per unit= (5*3) + (2.5*18) + (2.5*11) + 2.7= $90.2
Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 80,000 per month
Contribution margin income statement:
Sales= 98*11,000= 1,078,000
Total variable cost= (90.2*11,000)= (992,200)
Contribution margin= 85,800
Fixed costs= (80,000)
Net operating income= 5,800
The estimated Net operating income for February should be considered as the $5,800.
Giving that:
Selling price per unit is $98.Sales in February is 11,000 units.Fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $80,000.Calculation of the estimated net operating income;Variable cost / unit = ( 5 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 18 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 11 ) + 2.7
= $90.2
Now, we calculate contribution margin,
Total Sales value = $98 [tex]\times[/tex] 11,000 = $1,078,000
Total variable cost = $90.2 * 11,000 = $992,200
Contribution margin = Total Sales value - Total variable cost
= $1,078,000 - $992,200
= $85,800
Now, we can calculate net operating income by using following formula,
Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed selling and administrative expense
Net operating income = $85,800 - $80,000
Net operating income= 5,800

General Electric (GE) has earnings per share of $2.98 and dividends per share of $0.35. Its return on assets (ROA) is 14.6% and its return on equity (ROE) is 18.2%. What is its sustainable rate of growth?
Answer:
g = 0.1606 or 16.06%
Explanation:
The sustainable growth rate is the growth rate in earning or dividends of a stock that will remain constant in the long run. Such a rate is calculate for an indefinite period of time. The formula to calculate the sustainable growth rate is,
g = RR * ROE
Where,
RR is the retention ratio or (1 - dividend payout ratio)ROE is the return on equityThe dividend per share as a percentage of earnings per share will give us the dividend payout ratio.
Dividend payout ratio = 0.35 / 2.98 = 0.1174 or 11.74%
g = (1 - 11.74%) * 18.2%
g = 0.1606 or 16.06%

A project has an initial cost of $60,000, expected net cash inflows of $14,000 per year for 7 years, and a cost of capital of 13%. What is the project's discounted payback period
Answer:
Discounted payback period = 6.68 years
Explanation:
Year Cash inflow$ Discounted cash Cumulative discounted
inflow$ cash inflow$
1 14,000 12,389 12,389
2 14,000 10,964 23,353
3 14,000 9,703 33,056
4 14,000 8,586 41,643
5 14,000 7,599 49,241
6 14,000 6,724 55,966
7 14,000 5,951 61,917
Discounted cash inflow is calculated by discounting cash inflow at 13%. For example, discounted cash-flow in year 1 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^1 = 12,389.
Similarly, discounted cash-flow in year 2 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^2 = 10,964. And so on.
Cumulative cash-flows are sum of all cashflows till that year. For example, year 2 cumulative cashflow = 12,389 + 10,964 = 23,353.
Similarly, year 3 cumulative cash-flow = 23,353 + 9,703 = 33,056.
This cumulative cash-flow crosses 60,000 in year 7, so discounted payback period = 6 + (60,000-55,966) / 5,951
Discounted payback period = 6.68 years

A company purchased 400 units at $75 per unit. The company sold 385 units. what is the cost of goods sold and ending inventory
Answer:
Cost of goods sold $28,875
Ending inventory $1,125
Explanation:
Calculation for cost of goods sold and ending inventory
Cost of goods sold is calculated using this formula
Cost of goods sold=Sales units *Purchased per units
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold=385 units *$75 per unit
Cost of goods sold=$28,875
Calculation for the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory=(Purchased units * purchased per unit) -Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory=(400 units× 75 per unit) -$28,875
Ending inventory=$30,000-$28,875
Ending inventory=$1,125
Therefore the Cost of goods sold will be $28,875 while the Ending inventory will be $1,125

Thomas's fastest-moving inventory item has a demand of 5,900 units per year. The cost of each unit is $102, and the inventory carrying cost is $9 per unit per year. The average ordering cost is $29 per order. It takes about 5 days for an order to arrive, and the demand for 1 week is 118 units. (This is a corporate operation, and there are 250 working days per year).
Required:
a. What is the EOQ?
b. What is the average inventory if the EOQ is used?
c. What is the optimal number of orders per year?
d. What is the optimal number of days in between any two orders?
e. What is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory?
f. What is the total annual inventory cost, including cost of the 6,000 units?
Answer: Please find answers below
Explanation:
(a) Economic order quantity EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{2 X Annual Demand X Ordering Cost) / Carrying Cost)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 5,900 X 29 / 9 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{38,022.222}[/tex]
= 194.99 units
(b) Average number of units = Economic order quantity / 2
= 194.99 / 2
= 97.496 units
(c) Optimal number of orders = Annual Demand / Economic order quantity
= 5,900units / 194.99 units =30.26
(d) Optimal number of days between two orders = Number of working days / Optimal number of orders
= 250 days / 30.26
= 8.26
Total ordering cost = Cost per order X Number of orders
= $29 X 30.26
= $ 877.54
Total holding cost = Average inventory X carrying cost per unit
= 194.99 /2 X $9
= $877.455
(e) Annual cost of ordering and holding inventorY =Total ordering cost + Total carrying cost
= $ 877.54 + $877.455
= $ 1,754.995 ≈ $1,755
(f) Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 5900 units at $102 per unit
= $ 877.54 + $877.455 + (5,900 x 102) = $1754.995 +601,800= $603,554.995≈$603,555
Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 6000 units at $102 per unit
= $ 877.54 + $877.455 + (6000 x 102) = $1754.995 +612,000= $613,754.995≈$613,755
Tom Company reports the following data.
Sales $385,187
Variable costs 200,887
Fixed costs 87,300
Required:
Determine Tom Company's operating leverage. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Answer: 1.9
Explanation:
The Operating Leverage is calculated by;
Operating leverage = Contribution margin / Operating income
Contribution Margin

Operating Income
= Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs
= 184,300 - 87,300
= $97,000
Operating Leverage = 184,300/ 97,000
= 1.9
