Answer:
Wright Company
Bank Reconciliation Statement
$ $
Balance per bank 28,000
Add:
Debit memorandum for bank services 210
Cash receipts placed in the bank’s night depository 7,300
Check written by Smith Company mistakenly drawn 510
A debit memorandum that refers to NSF check 380
Subtract;
Outstanding checks (6,700)
Balance per cash book 29,700
Explanation:
Debit memorandum for bank services is a charge that has been recognized as a deduction from the bank balance but is yet to be recognized in the cash book hence it is added back.
Outstanding checks are checks that have been deducted from the cashbook but are yet to be deducted from the bank balance hence the deduction.
Cash receipts of $7,300 were placed in the bank’s night depository after banking hours and were not recorded on the May 31 bank statement, hence the addition to he bank balance.
Check written by Smith Company was mistakenly drawn against Wright’s account. This will be added back to the bank balance as the deduction would not have been captured in the cash book.
A debit memorandum for $380 refers to a $380 NSF check from a customer; the company has not yet recorded this NSF check. This will be added back to the bank balance.

b). Bad Debts Expense $48089.1
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $48089.1
Bad debts:
Bad debts are described as debts that are unable to be recovered from their respective debtors.The key reasons for this could be:
The debtor is bankrupt and cannot pay the amount.The debtor flees away and thus, can't be compelled to pay.The given amounts are obtained as follows:
a). Given that,
Bad debts is 1.5% of credit sales.
Credit Sales = $3,376,000
Bad debts = 1.5% of $3,376,000
∵ Bad debts = 1.5/100 * $3,376,000
= $50 640
b). Given that,
Bad debts = 1 % of total sales.
Total Sales = Credit sale + Cash sale
= $3,376,000 + $1,432,910
= $4808910
Bad debts = 1% of 4808910
∵ Bad debts = 1/100 * $4808910
= $48089.1

How is a monopolistically competitive market similar to a perfectly competitive market? A. Producers with market power set their own prices. B. Both have differentiated products with close substitutes. C. There are no restrictions on the entry of new firms. D. Both have homogeneous products with no close substitutes. Which of the following common features do monopolistically competitive markets and monopolies share? A. Barriers restrict new firms from entering. B. Consumers with market power set prices. C. Firms face downward-sloping demand curves. D. Producers with no market power set their own prices.
Answer:
c
c
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
Could I Industries just paid a dividend of $1.15 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 18 percent for the next six years and then level off to a growth rate of 7 percent indefinitely. If the required return is 15 percent, what is the value of the stock today
Answer: $26.56
Explanation:
Present value of stock = Dividend in year 1 / (1 + required rate of return) + Dividend in year 2 / (1 + required rate of return)² + Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + Dividend in year 6 / (1 + required rate of return)⁶ + Terminal value / (1 + required rate of return)⁶
Terminal value = ( Dividend in year 6 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate)
= (1.15 * (1 + 18%)⁶ * (1 + 7%) ) / (15% - 7%)
= $41.5225
Present value of stock:
= (1.15 * 1.18) / (1 + 15%) + (1.15 * 1.18²) / (1 + 15%)² + (1.15 * 1.18³) / (1 + 15%)³ + (1.15 * 1.18⁴) / (1 + 15%)⁴ + (1.15 * 1.18⁵) / (1 + 15%)⁵ + (1.15 * 1.18⁶) / (1 + 15%)⁶ + (41.5225) / (1 + 15%)⁶
= $26.55585976
= $26.56

B. Transportation costs have declined due to technological improvements for transporting goods.
C. International transportation costs are increasing everywhere in the world except in the United States.
D. Since the 1960s, transportation costs, as a percentage of the value of all U.S. imports, increased twofold.
E. The decline in the U.S. relative cost of international transportation has contributed to a higher volume of trade.
Answer:
A. When transportation costs rise, markets tend to substitute goods that are from closer locations. B. Transportation costs have declined due to technological improvements for transporting goods. E. The decline in the U.S. relative cost of international transportation has contributed to a higher volume of trade.Explanation:
When transportation costs increase, people will try to save on these costs by buying goods from nearby locations instead as these would require less transport.
In general, transportation costs have declined as technological improvements in transport have improved with better rail lines and air shipping routes. In the U.S. this has led to an increase in trade volume because people are able to buy from markets far away from them knowing that they will not have to pay exorbitant prices.

Beagle Corporation has 26,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding and 16,000 shares of $100 par, 5.50% cumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock outstanding. Dividends have not been paid for the past two years. This year, a $420,000 dividend will be paid. What are the dividends per share payable to preferred and common, respectively
Answer:
$16.5 per share; $6 per share
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the dividends per share payable to preferred and common, respectively
DIVIDENDS PER SHARE PAYABLE TO PREFERRED
First step
Total dividend paid to Preferred Stockholders
= Outstanding preferred stock × Par value of preferred stock × 5.50% × Number of years
Total dividend paid to Preferred Stockholders= 16000 × 100 × 5.50% × 3
Total dividend paid to Preferred Stockholders= $264,000
Second step
Total dividend per share paid to Preferred Stockholders= Total dividend paid to preferred ÷ No. of outstanding shares
Total dividend per share paid to Preferred Stockholders= $264,000 ÷ 16,000 shares
Total dividend per share paid to Preferred Stockholders= $16.5 per share
DIVIDENDS PER SHARE PAYABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
First step
Total dividend paid to Preferred Stockholders
= Outstanding preferred stock × Par value of preferred stock × 5.50% × Number of years
Total dividend paid to Preferred Stockholders= 16000 × 100 × 5.50% × 3
Total dividend paid to Preferred Stockholders= $264,000
Second step
Total dividend per share paid to common Stockholders= (Dividend paid in the current year - Total dividend paid to preferred) ÷ Common stock outstanding shares
Total dividend per share paid to common Stockholders= ($420,000 - $264,000) ÷ 26,000
Total dividend per share paid to common Stockholders= $156,000 ÷ 26,000 shares
Total dividend per share paid to common Stockholders= 6 per share
Therefore the dividends per share payable to preferred and common, respectively is:
$16.5 per share; $6 per share

=> $72,044 * 8%
=> $5,763.52
So, the second payment includes interest of $5,763.52.

4. Problems and Applications Q4 Many observers believe that the levels of pollution in our society are too high. True or False: If society wishes to reduce overall pollution by a certain amount, it is efficient to have firms with lower costs reduce greater amounts of pollution than those with higher costs.
Answer: True
Explanation:
Firms with lower costs would also incur a lower cost when they try to reduce pollution so they should reduce more pollution because of this reduced cost that they will incur.
Firms with higher costs would then reduce less pollution because this would ensure that they do not spend too much on pollution reduction and incur even more costs.
If an investor has a choice of investing money at 6% compounded daily or 6.025% compounded quarterly which one is best
General Rule: Daily compounding gives a higher yield
Compounding works like this:
6.025% per quarter
Quarter 1: $100 x 6.025% = $6.025
Quarter 2: $106.025 x 6.025% = $6.388
Quarter 3: $112.413 x 6.025% = $6.7729
Quarter 4: $119.186 x 6.025% = $7.4491
Etc…
6% per day
Day 1: $100 x 6% = $6
Day 2: $106 x 6% = $6.36
...
Day 365: $193.47 x 6% = $11.96

The following monthly data are available for Waterway Industries. which produces only one product: Selling price per unit, $54; Unit variable expenses, $14; Total fixed expenses, $42000; Actual sales for the month of June, 2000 units. How much is the margin of safety for the company for June
Answer:
Margin of safety= 950 units
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 42,000 / (54 - 14)
Break-even point in units= 1,050
Now, the margin of safety in units:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 2,000 - 1,050
Margin of safety= 950 units

Complete the following statements with one of the terms listed here. You may use a term more than once. Some terms may not be used at all. Capital turnover Direct fixed expenses Flexible budget variance Key performance indictors (KPIs) Profit center Sales margin Common fixed expenses Favorable variance Goal congruence Management by exception Return on investment (ROI) Unfavorable variance Cost center Flexible budget Investment center Master budget variance Revenue center Volume variance
Solution :
a). Flexible budget
A flexible budget is a budget that is prepared for the different volume level which was originally anticipated.
b). Flexible budget variance
It is the different between the flexible budget and the actual results.
c). Return on Investment
It is used to evaluate the performance of the investment centers. It is calculated by dividing operating income by the investment.
d). Favorable variance
The company has the favorable variance when the actual values are more than the budgeted values.
The difference between actual overhead costs incurred and the budgeted overhead costs based on a flexible budget is the: Multiple Choice Production variance. Controllable variance. Volume variance. Price variance. Quantity variance.
The difference between actual overhead costs incurred and the budgeted overhead costs based on a flexible budget is the controllable variance.
In accounting, there are two elements of a variance- rate variance and volume variance. While the rate variance refers to the difference in the actual price paid vs. the budgeted price, the volume variance refers to the portion of the variance in sales, unit usage.
The controllable variance is in the "rate" element of the variance.Controllable variance refers to the process by which the efficiency of using variable overhead resources is measured.This means that the controllable variance is the difference between the actual cost and the budgeted overhead cost.The calculation for this variance is: Actual overhear expense - (budgeted overhead cost x standard number of units)= overhead controllable variance.In short, we can say that the controllable variance is the amount that is not part of the volume variance. Rather, it is the difference in the overhead cost incurred and the budgeted overhead cost.
