Widget Makers LLC started business January, 01, 2010. They paid a $6,000 premium for insurance coverage on their inventory. The coverage expires June 01, 2010. At this time they renew for the remainder of the year by paying an additional premium of $7,700. What is the quarterly insurance expense that Widget Makers should report for the period ending June 30,2010.
Answer:
$3,500
Explanation:
The quarterly insurance expense to report for the period ending June 30 2010 comprises of two months payment from the first payment and one month portion of the second payment as computed thus:
Insurance for April to May=$6,000*2/5=$2400
Insurance for June=$7,700*1/7=$1100
insurance expense for June=$2,400+$1,100=$3,500
Note that the first payment covers first 5 months while the second one covers the last 7 months
A semi-annual coupon bond has a coupon of 6% and its duration is 5.78 years. It trades at a yield of 7%, or a price of $94.54 per $100 face. The comparable Treasury rate is 5%. If the yield curve shifts up across the board by 50 bp and the spread increases to 280 bp, what is the new price of the bond
Answer:
$ 101.39
Explanation:
The new coupon rate would be the treasury rate plus 280bp which is 5%+2.8%=7.8%
The new yield to maturity would be 7%+0.5%=7.5%
Note that 100 basis point is 1%
The new price can be computed using excel pv formula
new price=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the semiannual yield i.e 7.5%*6/12=3.75%
nper is the number of semiannual coupons of the bond i.e 5.78*2=11.56
pmt is the semiannual coupon =$100*7.8%*6/12=$3.9
face value is $100
=-pv(3.75%,11.56,3.9,100)=$101.39
On July 1, ABC Company borrowed $440,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 10% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $71,608. What is the journal entry to record the first annual payment? Multiple Choice Debit Interest Expense $44,000; credit Cash $44,000. Debit Interest Expense $71,608; credit Cash $71,608. Debit Cash $440,000; debit Interest Expense $71,608; credit Notes Payable $511,608. Debit Interest Expense $44,000; debit Interest Payable $27,608; credit Cash $71,608. Debit Interest Expense $44,000; debit Notes Payable $27,608; credit Cash $71,608.
Answer:
Debit Interest Expense $44,000;
Debit Notes Payable $27,608;
Credit Cash $71,608
Explanation:
When loan is acquired it increases cash and becomes a liability for the company. So cash is increased by debiting cash with $ 440,000 and liability is also increased by crediting notes payable. As the cash payment for the first year is $71,608 then it is credited .
The journal entry to record the first annual payment is as follows.
Debit Interest Expense $44,000;
Debit Notes Payable $27,608;
Credit Cash $71,608
Interest Expense = 10 % of $ 440,000= $ 44,000
As part of the Notes Payable is paid the notes payable is debited with an amount of $27,608. And cash is credited with an equal amount paid i.e. $ 71,608
Five consumers have the following marginal utility of apples and pears:
Consumer Marginal Utility of Apples Marginal Utility of Pears
Alex 5 9
Becky 5 10
Clancy 4 8
Eileen 4 10
Hubert 3 4
The price of an apple is $1, and the price of a pear is $2.
Which, if any, of these consumers are optimizing over their choice of fruit?
A) Alex
B) Becky
C) Clancy
D) Eileen
E) Hubert
Answer:
Becky and Clancy are optimizing over their choice of fruit
Explanation:
In order to find which these consumers are optimizing over their choice of fruit we would have to use the following formula:
Marginal utility of apples/Marginal utility of pears=price of apple/price of pear
For Alex =5/9>1/2
For Becky =5/10=1/2
For Clancy =4/8=1/2
For Eileen =4/10<1/2
For Hubert=3/4>1/2
Therefore, only Becky and Clancy are optimizing
Coffee Corporation has 2,000 shares of common stock outstanding. John owns 700 of the shares, John’s grandfather owns 100 shares, John’s father owns 100 shares, John’s ex-wife owns 700 shares, and Redbird Partnership owns 400 shares. John is a 50% partner in Redbird Partnership. How many shares is John deemed to own in Coffee Corporation under the § 318 attribution rules?
a. 700
b. 1,000
c. 1,100
d. 1,700
e. None of the above
Answer:
1,000 shares
Explanation:
The 318 attribution rule states that stock owned directly or indirectly by a partnership is considered to be owned by any partner that owns 5% or more in the business.
This is relevant to family owned businesses and is a way to mark out principal owners of a business in order to avoid tax evasion and fraud.
In this scenario John directly owns 700 of the outstanding shares. But according to the 318 attribution rule, since he he is a 50% partner he owns half of the outstanding 2,000 shares. That is 1,000 shares.
Alpha Company uses its sales invoices for posting perpetual inventory records. Inadequate control activities over the invoicing function allow goods to be invoiced that are not shipped. The inadequate control activities could cause an Group of answer choices Understatement of revenues, receivables, and inventory. Overstatement of revenues and receivables and an understatement of inventory. Understatement of revenues and receivables and an overstatement of inventory. Overstatement of revenues, receivables, and inventory.
Answer:
Overstatement of revenues and receivables and an understatement of inventory.
Explanation:
Invoicing in different occasions could be done for the case of inventory and reference purposes in the hands of both the salesman and buyer. Therefore on the case above, inadequate control could possibly cause overstatement of revenues and receivables and an understatement of inventory. It is also been observed that the sales invoice provides the seller with a record of what has been sold, whether the said transaction has been carried out or not and how much money is involved. This information is useful for internal company records and also to follow up with buyers for billing purposes.
34. Teller Co. is planning to sell 900 boxes of ceramic tile, with production estimated at 870 boxes during May. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix and a quarter hour of direct labor. Clay mix costs $0.40 per pound and employees of the company are paid $12.00 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Teller has 3,900 pounds of clay mix in beginning inventory and wants to have 4,500 pounds in ending inventory. What is the total amount to be budgeted for manufacturing overhead for the month?
Answer:
budgeted manufacturing overhead=$2871
Explanation:
Direct labour hours= budgeted production × standard hours per unit
= 870× 1/4 hour=217.5 hours
Direct labour cost = 217.5 × $12 =$2610
Manufacturing overhead = Overhead absorption rate × direct labour cost
= 110%×2610 =2,871
Budgeted manufacturing overhead=$2871
Problems and Applications
The many identical residents of Whoville love drinking Zlurp. Each resident has the following willingness to pay for the tasty refreshment:
Quantity Willingness to Pay (Dollars)
First bottle 5
Second bottle 4
Third bottle 3
Fourth bottle 2
Fifth bottle 1
Further bottles 0
The cost of producing a bottle of Zlurp is $1.50, and the competitive suppliers sell it at this price. (The supply curve is horizontal.)
Each Whovillian will consume ______ bottles and receive a consumer surplus of _______$ . Producing Zlurp creates pollution. Each bottle has an external cost of $1.
Taking this additional cost into account, total surplus per person in the allocation you previously determined decreases to _______$ .
Cindy Lou Who, one of the residents of Whoville, decides on her own to reduce her consumption of Zlurp by 1 bottle.
Cindy's consumer surplus (ignoring the cost of pollution she experiences) is now ______$ . Her decision_____ total surplus in Whoville by _______$ .
Mayor Grinch imposes a $1 tax on each bottle of Zlurp.
Consumption per person is now _______bottles. This yields a per-person consumer surplus of ______$ not including the cost of pollution, a per-person external cost of _____$ , and government revenue of_______ $ per person. Total surplus per person is now ______$ as a result of this policy. (Hint: Total surplus is equal to consumer surplus minus the external cost of pollution plus government revenue.)
Based on your calculations, you_____ support the mayor's policy because it ______welfare compared to before the tax.
Answer and Explanation:
The calculations are shown below:
1) 4 is choosen because the marginal utility should be less than the marginial cost and if he choose beyong this point, the cost of the drink is more than the willingness to pay
2) The consumer surplus is
= (5 - 1.5) + (4 - 1.5) + (3 - 1.5) + (2 - 1.5)
= 8
3) Total surplus decreases to
= Consumer surplus - external cost
= 8 - 4
= 4
4) Cindy's Consumer surplus is
= (5 - 1.5) + (4 - 1.5) + (3 - 1.5)
= 7.5
5) Increases
6) 8 - 7.5 = 0.5
7) Consumption = 3 bottles
8) Consumer surplus is
= (5 - 2.5) + (4 - 2.5) + (3 - 2.5)
= 4.5
9) External cost = 3 × 1 = 3 bottle
10) Government revenue = 3 × 1 = 3 bottle
11) Total surplus is
= Consumer surplus - external cost + government revenue
= 4.5 - 3 + 3
= 4.5
12) would
13) increases
Baden Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $176. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480,000 when 10,000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1,000 units at $140 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows.
a. Income would decrease by $8,000.
b. Income would increase by $8,000.
c. Income would increase by $140,000.
d. Income would increase by $40,000.
Answer:
Option d is correct
Increase in income $40,000
Explanation:
$
Sales revenue from Order = (140× 1,000)= 140,000
Variable cost of order ( 100× 1,000) = (100,000)
Increase in income 40,000
Note that the fixed costs of $480,000 was not include in the analysis. This is is so because it would be still incurred whether the order is accepted or not. Hence, it is irrelevant for this decision.

Between April 2011 and April 2016, the price of a U.S. postage stamp increased from $0.41 to $0.46. The price of a U.S. postage stamp has increased approximately ________ in terms of Indian rupees and ________ in terms of Chinese yuan.
Answer:
The price of a U.S. postage stamp has increased approximately 63% in terms of Indian rupees and 10% in terms of Chinese yuan.
Explanation:
the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Indian rupee:
April 2011 = 45.54 Indian rupees per dollar x $0.41 = 18.67 Indian rupees
April 2016 = 66.16 Indian rupees per dollar x $0.46 = 30.43 Indian rupees
change in Indian rupees = (30.43 - 18.67) / 18.67 = 63%
the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan:
April 2011 = 6.61 Chinese yuan per dollar x $0.41 = 2.71 Chinese yuan
April 2016 = 6.48 Chinese yuan per dollar x $0.46 = 2.98 Chinese yuan
change in Chinese yuan = (2.98 - 2.71) / 2.71 = 10%

Computer equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $57,000 that has an estimated residual value of $9,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. Determine the second-year depreciation using the straight-line method.
Answer:
$9,600
Explanation:
Annual Depreciation = Cost – Residual Value/Useful Life
Using the formula
Cost=$57,000
Residual value =$9,000
Useful life =5years
Hence:
$57,000 – $9,000/5
=$48,000/5
= $9,600
The second-year depreciation will therefore be $9,600

A schedule of cost of goods manufactured is also known as a: Multiple Choice Raw materials processed schedule. Factory supplies used schedule. Manufacturing statement. Total finished goods statement. Cost of goods sold schedule.
Answer:
Manufacturing statement
Explanation:
As the schedule for the raw material i.e used during the year is the same for the factory supplies i.e used. The finished goods statement is the statement which only records the actual goods that are finished during the year. And, the cost of goods schedule shows the sold-out schedule of the goods
And,
As we know that
Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + Raw materials used + direct labor cost + overhead cost - closing work in process
Therefore the cost of goods manufactured schedule is also known as Manufacturing statement
You just deposited $4,000 in cash into a checking account at the local bank. Assume that banks lend out all excess reserves and there are no leaks in the banking system. That is, all money lent by banks gets deposited in the banking system. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. If the reserve requirement is 20 %, how much will your deposit increase the total value of checkable bank deposits
Answer: $20,000
Explanation:
The reserve requirement is a central bank regulation which sets minimum amount of reserves which must be held by a commercial bank.
When reserve requirement = 20%
= 20/100
= 0.20
Total increase in the checkable deposit will be = $4,000 / 0.20= $20,000

A company deposits $2,378 in a bank at the end of every year for 10 years. The company makes no deposits during the subsequent 5 years. If the bank pays 10% interest, how much would be in the account at the end of 15 years?
Answer:
Final Value= $61,037.04
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Investment= $2,378 in a bank at the end of every year for 10 years.
The company makes no deposits during the subsequent 5 years.
Interest rate= 10%
First, we need to calculate the first 10 years.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {2,378*[(1.1^10)-1]} / 0.1
FV= $37,899.20
Now, the 5 years:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 37,899.2*(1.1^5)
FV= $61,037.04
The Soft Company has provided the following information after year-end adjustments:
• Allowance for doubtful accounts was $11,000 at the beginning of the year and $30,000 at the end of the year.
• Accounts receivable were $80,000 at the beginning of the year and $420,000 at the end of the year.
• Accounts written off as uncollectible totaled $21,000.
• Net sales totaled $2,720,000.
• Sales discounts were $102,000.
How much was Soft's bad debt expense for the year?
a. $1,200
b. $19,800.
c. $21,000.
d. $40,800
Answer:
The allowance for doubtful accounts at end of the year is $30,800, not $30,000
The correct option is D,$40,800
Explanation:
The bad debt expense for the current year is the sum of the ending allowance for doubtful debt plus the amount written off in the year as uncolletible minus the opening balance of allowance for doubtful debt.
Ending balance of allowance for doubtful debts is $30,800
The amount written off as uncollectible is $21,000
opening balance of allowance for uncollectible is $11,000
bad debt expense=$30,800+$21,000-$11,000=$40800

Wolken has never paid a dividend on its common stock, and it issued $2,400,000 of 10-year non-callable, long-term debt in 2014. As of the end of 2015, none of the principal on this debt had been repaid. Assume that the company's sales in 2014 and 2015 were the same. Which of the following statements must be CORRECT?
a. Wolken had negative net income in 2015.
b. Wolken repurchased some common stock in 2015.
c. Wolken issued new common stock in 2015.
d. Wolken issued long-term debt in 2015.
e. Wolken increased its short-term bank debt in 2015.
Answer: Wolken issued new common stock in 2015.
Explanation:
From the information that have been provided in the question, we can see that in 2015, the common stock was 3,000,000 while in 2014, the common stock was 2,000,000. This shows that there was an increase of: (3,000,000 - 2,000,000) = 1,000,000 new common stock.
Wolkem did not have a negative me income in 2015 and also didn't issue long term debt in 2015 as he had the same amount of long term debt for 2014 and 2015 which was 2,400,000.
Therefore option C is the correct answer as Wolken issued new common stock in 2015.
A consumer values a house at $525,000 and a producer values the same house at $485,000. If the transaction is completed at $510,000, what amount of tax will result in unconsummated transaction
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Amount of tax that will result in unconsummated transaction will be :
Consumer values of house $525,000
Less completed transaction $510,000
Tax $15,000
Therefore $15,000 is the amount of tax which will result in Unconsummated transaction because the actual value of the house was $525,000 in which the transaction process was later completed at $510,000.
Crystal Lighting Inc. produces and sells lighting fixtures. An entry light has a total cost of $80 per unit, of which $54 is product cost and $26 is selling and administrative expenses. In addition, the total cost of $80 is made up of $40 variable cost and $40 fixed cost. The desired profit is $55 per unit. Determine the markup percentage on product cost.
Answer:
Mark-up = 101.9%
Explanation:
Mark up is the percentage of the product cost that is made as profit. It is profit expressed as a percentage of the product cost.
Mark-up = profit/product cost × 100
Mark-up = $55/54 × 100 =101.85%
Mark-up = 101.9%
Answer:
Explanation:
Mark up percentage = [ (desired profit ) + (Total selling and administrative expenses) ] / total product cost
Desired profit = $55
Total selling and administrative expenses = $26
Total cost = $80
($55 + $26)/80 = 1.0125

Sunland Chemicals Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $30,400 on January 1, 2022. The truck is expected to have a salvage value of $3,200 at the end of its 4-year useful life. Compute annual depreciation for the first and second years using the straight-line method.
Answer:
$6,800 and $6,800
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the first year and the second year using the straight line method is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($30,400 - $3,200) ÷ (4 years)
= ($27,200) ÷ (4 years)
= $6,800
In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life
Therefore for the first and second year, the same depreciation expense i.e $6,800 should be charged separately in each year

Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units. 4. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
We weren't provided with enough information to answer the requirements. But, I will provide the formulas.
1) Contribution margin:
CM= selling price - unitary variable cost
2) contribution margin ratio:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price
3) break-even point in units
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
4) break-even point in sales dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:________. 1. Price elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = -2.5 2. Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros = 1.5 3. Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline = -0.80 4. Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = 3.00
Answer:
1. if the price of Chevrolet Camaro increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs increases. Conversely, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs falls.
2.If the price of gasoline increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs would fall and if the price of gasoline falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs would increase.
3. if income increases, demand for Ford Mustangs increases and if demand falls, demand for Ford Mustangs falls
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.
The income elasticity is given as 3 , it means that demand is elastic. So if income increases, demand for Ford Mustangs increases and if demand falls, demand for Ford Mustangs falls.
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitutes goods.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If the cross price elasticitiy is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
Because the cross price elasticity between Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustangs is positive, it means they are subsituite goods. So, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs increases. Conversely, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs falls.
Because the cross price elasticity of demand between gasoline and Ford Mustangs are negative, they are complementary goods.
If the price of gasoline increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs would fall and if the price of gasoline falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs would increase.
The ____ of a limited liability company establishes the company's method of management, allocation of profits and losses among members, restrictions on the transfer of membership interests, and the process to be followed in dissolving the company.
Answer:
Operating agreement.
Explanation:
A limited liability company (LLC) is a type of legal hybrid-business structure that can combine both partnership and corporation form of business, and the owners are only responsible for its debts with respect to the amount of capital they have invested. The first formal LLC statute was enacted by Wyoming in 1977 based on the Panamanian LLC and the 1982 German Code.
The operating agreement of a limited liability company establishes the company's method of management, allocation of profits and losses among members, member's rights and responsibilities, restrictions on the transfer of membership interests, voting power, and the process to be followed in dissolving the company.
Examples of some limited liability companies are Blockbuster LLC, Chrysler Group LLC, Dougherty & Company LLC, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC etc.
The advantages of a LLC is that it provides it's owners with limited liability, such as business debts. Also, LLC isn't taxed directly by the internal revenue service (IRS) because it isn't regarded as a separate tax business entity.
On March 5, Oak Corp. provided services on account to Pine. Oak initially recorded this as an account receivable but it later became apparent Pine could not pay quickly so Oak required Pine to sign a $100,000, 12%, 2-month interest-bearing note. The journal entry required by Oak when Pine signs the note includes
Debit Notes Receivable $100,000; credit Accounts Receivable $100,000.
Debit Notes Receivable $100,000; credit Service Revenue $100,000.
Debit Notes Receivable $102,000; credit Service Revenue $102,000.
Debit Notes Receivable $102,000; credit Accounts Receivable $102,000.
Answer:
The correct option is Debit Notes Receivable $100,000; credit Accounts Receivable $100,000
Explanation:
The journal entry to record when the notes receivable was signed to credit accounts receivable with the original value of the debt and debit same amount to notes receivable as is the case with the first option.
The interest due on the notes of $2,000 ($100,000*12%*2/12) would be recognized when the notes receivable become due for payment not immediately
Rolf Steps is the production manager for a local manufacturing firm. This company produces staplers and other items. The annual demand for a particular stapler is 1,600 units. The holding cost is $2 per unit per year. The cost of setting up the production line is $25. There are 200 working days per year. The production rate for this product is 80 per day. If Rolf decided to produce 200 units each time he started production of the stapler, what would his maximum inventory level be
Answer:
His maximum inventory level would be 180 units
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
daily demand rate , d=1,600/200=8 units;
daily production rate p=80 units;
C0=25 dollar
Cc=2 dollar
Therefore, Qopt=√2*25*1,600/(2(1-8/80))
Qopt=210.82
But here Rolf decide to produce 200 units each time he started production, hence fix Q=200
Therefore, Maximum inventory level=200*(1-8/80)=200*0.9
Maximum inventory level=180 units
His maximum inventory level would be 180 units
Rolf Steps' maximum inventory level would be 126 units.
Data and Calculations:
Annual demand = 1,600 units
Holding costs = $2 per unit
Setup cost = $200 ($25 x 8)
Working days per year = 200 days
Production rate per day = 80 units
Number of setup = 8 setups (1,600/200)
Re-order quantity = square root of (2 x 1,600 x $200)/$2
= 566 units
Maximum Level = Re-order level + Re-order quantity – (Minimum usage × Minimum lead time)
= 200 + 566 - (80 x 8)
= 766 - 640
= 126 units

Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. If the market interest rate is 5 % when TCU issues its bonds, will the bonds be priced at face value, at a premium, or at a discount? Explain. The 7 % bonds issued when the market interest rate is 5 % will be priced at ▼ a discount a premium face value . They are ▼ attractive unattractive in this market, so investors will pay ▼ face value less than face value more than face value to acquire them.
Answer:
1. If the market interest rate is 5 % when TCU issues its bonds, will the bonds be priced at face value, at a premium, or at a discount? Explain.
Since the market rate is lower than the coupon rate, the bonds will be sold at a premium. The issue price should be $875,719, which means that the bonds were sold at 125.1 and the following journal entry must be recorded:
Dr Cash 875,719
Cr Bonds payable 700,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 175,719
The 7 % bonds issued when the market interest rate is 5 % will be priced at A PREMIUM. They are ATTRACTIVE in this market, so investors will pay MORE THAN FACE VALUE to acquire them.
Explanation:
issued $700,000 of 7%, 20 year bonds, pay semiannual coupons ($24,500 each)
issue price = present value of face value + present value of interest payments
present value of face value = $700,000 / (1 + 2.5%)⁴⁰ = $260,701present value of annuity = $24,500 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 2.5%)⁴⁰]} / 3.5% = $615,018issue price = $875,719
