Company A bought Company B in 2015 and appropriately recorded $750,000 of goodwill related to the purchase. On December 31, 2019, the fair value of Company B is $5,200,000 and it is carried on Company A’s books at a total book value of $5,800,000, including the goodwill. An analysis of Company B’s assets indicates that the fair value of the net assets of the division total $5,100,000 on December 31, 2019. What goodwill impairment should be recognized by Company A in 2019?
Answer:
Company A and B
Impairment of Goodwill = $700,000
Explanation:
Goodwill on acquisition in 2015 = $750,000
Fair value of Company B in 2019 = $5,200,000
Book value of Company B in Company A = $5,800,000
Assessed fair value of Company B = $5,100,000
Goodwill impairment = $5,100,000 - $5,800,000 = $700,000
Company A's Goodwill impairment arises when the carrying amount of Goodwill in Company A exceeds the fair value of Company B. It is important to check for impairment of goodwill annually. The purpose of assessing goodwill for impairment is to ensure that the carrying amount of goodwill does not exceed the fair value.

Assume the following: (1) the interest rate on 6-month treasury bills is 8 percent per annum in the United Kingdom and 4 percent per annum in the United States; (2) today's spot price of the pound is $1.50 while the 6-month forward price of the pound is $1.485.If the price of the 6-month forward pound were to ____, U.S. investors would no longer earn an extra return by shifting funds to the United Kingdom.a. Rise to $1.52b. Rise to $1.53c. Fall to $1.48d. Fall to $1.47
Answer:
d. Fall to $1.47
Explanation:
currently you will need $1,500 to purchase £1,000 and invest in British bonds. After 65 months you will have £1,040, which you should be able to convert into $1,544.40. If you invested in US bonds, you would have $1,530, so this arbitrage will yield $14.40.
But if instead the British pound fell to $1.47, then your profit would only be $28.80, less than if you invested in US bonds. You again would have £1,040 in 6 months, but that would only be equal to $1,528.80.

Sarah Meeham blends coffee for Tasti-Delight. She needs to prepare 170 pounds of blended coffee beans selling for $3.76 per pound. She plans to do this by blending together a high-quality bean costing $5.00 per pound and a cheaper bean at $2.00 per pound. To the nearest pound, find how much high-quality coffee bean and how much cheaper coffee bean she should blend
Answer:
The quantity of high-quality coffee been is 100 and cheaper coffee bean is 70.
Explanation:
Let the quantity of high-quality coffee bean = x
The price of high-quality bean = $5 per pound.
Let the cheaper coffee bean = y
The price of cheaper coffee bean = $2 per pound.
So, from the equation there are two equation can be formed.
x + y = 170
5x + 2y = 170×3.76
Now, solve both the equation for the value of x and y.
x + y = 170
x = 170-y
now insert, x = 170 – y in the below equation.
5x + 2y = 170×3.76
5 (170 – y) + 2y = 639.2
850 – 5y + 2y = 639.2
-3y = 639.2 – 850
- 3y = -210.8
y = 70.26 or the 70
now insert 70 in x = 170-y.
x = 170 – 70
x = 100
Thus, the quantity of high-quality coffee been is 100 and cheaper coffee bean is 70.
Production possibilities frontiers are usually bowed outward. This is because a. resources are specialized; that is, some are better at producing particular goods rather than other goods. b. of the effects of technological change. c. the opportunity cost of producing a good decreases as more and more of that good is produced. d. the more resources a society uses to produce one good, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good.
Answer:
d. the more resources a society uses to produce one good, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good.
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all of its resources are fully utilised.
As more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increases as more and more of that good is produced.
Please check the attached image for a diagram of the Production possibilities frontiers

An agent of a broker dealer has hired a sales assistant who is not registered. The sales assistant will answer the telephone, handle customer queries, and perform other clerical duties. All of the following arrangements for compensating the unregistered sales assistant are permitted except:_________.A. Hourly wageB. Performance bonusC. Annual salarD. production bonus
