Answer:
The correct option is A,$49,000
Explanation:
The share of declared dividends for the common stock shareholders is the total dividends declared in the current minus the preferred stock dividends for current year and prior year because preferred stock is entitled to arrears of dividends(it has cumulative conditional clause attached).
Total dividends declared $53,000
preferred stock dividend(2016) ($2,000)
preferred stock dividend(2017) ($2,000)
common stock share of dividends $49,000
Preferred stock dividend=8000*5%*$5=$2000
The correct option,based on the above analysis,is option A

No More Pencils, Inc., disburses checks every two weeks that average $87,000 and take six days to clear. How much interest can the company earn annually if it delays transfer of funds from an interest-bearing account that pays 0.011 percent per day for these six days? Ignore the effects of compounding interest
Answer:
Interest $1,492.92
Explanation:
The company interest will be the amount of the checks multiplied by the number of days it will delay payment then multiply by the number of weeks that checks will be disbursed times the daily interest rate.
Interest = $87,000(6)(52 / 2)(.00011)
Interest =$522,000×26×0.00011
Interest = $1,492.92
Therefore $1,492.92 is the amount of interest that the company earn annually if it delays transfer of funds from an interest-bearing account that pays 0.011 percent per day for these six days.
. Homer Simpson wins a lottery prize. As a result, the Simpson family increases its consumption by $1,000 at each level of after-tax income. ("Income" does not include the prize money.) How does this change affect their consumption function?
Answer:
Their consumption function would shift upwards
Explanation:
Their consumption function shifts upward because the lottery prize has given them an autonomous consumption of $1000. This prize is independent of income. At each level of income, consumption rises by $1000. Causing consumption spending to be shifted upward by $1000. The marginal propensity to consume is unaffected because increase in consumption is the same at each level of disposable income.
Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a $17 per share dividend 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 3.9 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 12.5 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
$68.48
Explanation:
We have a stock that pays no dividends for 9years. Once the stock begins paying dividends, it will have a constant growth rate of dividends. We can use the constant growth model at that point. It is important to remember that general constant dividend growth formula is:Pt= [Dt× (1 + g)] / (R− g)This means that since we will use the dividend in Year 9, we will be finding the stock price in Year 10. The dividend growth model is similar to the PVA and the PV of a perpetuity: The equation gives you the PV one period before the first payment. So, the price of the stock in Year 10 will be:P9= D10/ (R− g) = $17 / (12.5/100 − 3.9/100) = $197.67
The price of the stock today is simply the PV of the stock price in the future. We simply discount the future stock price at the required return. The price of the stock today will be:P0= $197.67/ 1.125^9= $68.48
List three conditions for perfect competition.Instructions: You may select more than one answer.1. There is only one firm that makes up the entire market.2. There are high barriers to entry.3. Firms’ products are differentiated.4. There are no barriers to entry.5. Both buyers and sellers are price takers.6. Firms engage in strategic decision making.7. Firms’ products are identical.
Answer:
There are no barriers to entry.
5. Both buyers and sellers are price takers
.7. Firms’ products are identical.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised 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 monopoly is when there's only one firm operating in an industry.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
4. There are no barriers to entry.
5. Both buyers and sellers are price takers.
7. Firms’ products are identical.
Explanation:
Perfect.competitionnis one in which the lead of demand and supply apply effectively. In this type of competition no one company has monopoly of supply. Instead there are many firms that sell identical products.
These firms need to compete to gain market share. They do this through advertising and trying to differentiate their products from others.
Buyers and sellers are price takers, meaning both of them cannot influence the price of products in the market by their transactions.
Because of the lack of monopoly in this market there are no barriers to entry.
Consider a $1,000 par value bond with a 9% annual coupon. The bond pays interest annually. There are 20 years remaining until maturity. You have expectations that in 5 years the YTM on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 7.5%. You plan to purchase the bond now and hold it for 5 years. Your required return on this bond is 10%. How much would you be willing to pay for this bond today
Final answer:
To determine the price you are willing to pay for the bond today, you must calculate the present value of the annual coupon payments for the next 5 years and the present value of the expected sale price in 5 years, all discounted at your required return of 10%.
Explanation:
To price the bond you are considering purchasing today, we'll need to discount the cash flows from the bond (the annual coupon payments and the expected sale price in 5 years) back to the present using your required return of 10%. First, we calculate the present value of the annual coupon payments you would receive for the next 5 years. The bond has a 9% annual coupon on a $1,000 par value, which equals $90 per year. Next, we have to estimate the sale price of the bond in 5 years, assuming that the YTM will then be 7.5%. This is equivalent to finding the present value of the remaining cash flows (15 years of $90 coupons plus the $1,000 par value at maturity) discounted at the new YTM of 7.5%. Finally, we sum the present value of the 5 years' worth of coupon payments and the present value of the price we expect to sell the bond for after 5 years, both discounted at your required return of 10%.
To calculate this precisely requires use of the present value formula for an annuity and a complex calculation for the sale price in 5 years, which is beyond the scope of this explanation but is usually done using financial calculators or spreadsheet software.
onghorn Fabricators Inc. plans to expand its metals-forming facility over the next 5 years. The company will add 20,000 square feet to its 100,000-square-foot plant as it adds robotic welding units, additional laser technology, and automated loading facilities. Construction at the plant is expected to start by the end of next year. The company expects to pay 5 equal payments of $250,000 every 12 months over the 5 year period. What is the future value of the total improvement cost, if the interest rate is 18% per year, compounded every 12 months?
Answer:
Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Regular deposit amount = $250,000
No. of period = 5 years
Interest rate = 18%
Future value = Regular deposit amount × [((1+interest rate per period)^no. of period - 1) ÷ interest rate per period]
Face value = $250,000×[((1+0.18)^5-1) ÷ 0.18]
= $250,000×7.154
= $1,788,552.44
Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44
Continental Railroad decided to use the high-low method and operating data from the past six months to estimate the fixed and variable components of transportation costs. The activity base used by Continental Railroad is a measure of railroad operating activity, termed "gross-ton miles," which is the total number of tons multiplied by the miles moved.
Transportation Costs Gross-Ton Miles
January $24,500,000 3,000,000
February 22,375,000 2,500,000
March 29,000,000 6,300,000
April 34,800,000 9,500,000
May 40,312,500 12,750,000
June 35,500,000 10,000,000
Determine the variable cost per gross-ton mile and the total fixed cost.
Using the high-low method, the variable cost per gross-ton mile for Continental Railroad is $1.775, and the total fixed cost is $17,937,500. This was calculated by identifying the highest and lowest activity levels and their associated costs.
Explanation:To determine the variable cost per gross-ton mile and the total fixed cost using the high-low method from the operating data provided by Continental Railroad, we identify the months with the highest and lowest activity levels, which are April (highest) and February (lowest). The difference in gross-ton miles between these months is 9,500,000 - 2,500,000 = 7,000,000 gross-ton miles. Similarly, the difference in transportation costs is $34,800,000 - $22,375,000 = $12,425,000.
To calculate variable cost per gross-ton mile, divide the difference in costs by the difference in gross-ton miles: $12,425,000 ÷ 7,000,000 = $1.775. Hence, the variable cost is $1.775 per gross-ton mile. Next, to find the fixed costs, we calculate the total variable cost at the low activity level (February) by multiplying the variable cost per gross-ton mile by February's gross-ton miles: $1.775 * 2,500,000 = $4,437,500. Subtract this amount from the total cost of February to get the total fixed cost: $22,375,000 - $4,437,500 = $17,937,500. Therefore, the total fixed cost is $17,937,500.
The variable cost per gross-ton mile is $1.75, and the total fixed cost is $18,000,000.
To estimate the fixed and variable components of transportation costs using the high-low method, we need to identify the months with the highest and lowest activity levels (gross-ton miles). We then use these data points to calculate the variable cost per gross-ton mile and the total fixed cost.
Step 1: Identify the High and Low Activity Levels
From the given data:
Highest activity: May (12,750,000 gross-ton miles, $40,312,500 cost)
Lowest activity: February (2,500,000 gross-ton miles, $22,375,000 cost)
Step 2: Calculate the Variable Cost per Gross-Ton Mile
The high-low method formula for the variable cost per unit is:
[tex]\[ \text{Variable Cost per Gross-Ton Mile} = \frac{\text{Cost at High Activity} - \text{Cost at Low Activity}}{\text{High Activity Level} - \text{Low Activity Level}} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Variable Cost per Gross-Ton Mile} = \frac{40,312,500 - 22,375,000}{12,750,000 - 2,500,000} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Variable Cost per Gross-Ton Mile} = \frac{17,937,500}{10,250,000} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Variable Cost per Gross-Ton Mile} = 1.75 \][/tex]
Step 3: Calculate the Total Fixed Cost
To find the fixed cost, we use the total cost equation at either the high or low activity level:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Cost} = (\text{Variable Cost per Gross-Ton Mile} \times \text{Gross-Ton Miles}) + \text{Fixed Cost} \][/tex]
Using the high activity level data:
[tex]\[ 40,312,500 = (1.75 \times 12,750,000) + \text{Fixed Cost} \]\[ 40,312,500 = 22,312,500 + \text{Fixed Cost} \]\[ \text{Fixed Cost} = 40,312,500 - 22,312,500 \]\[ \text{Fixed Cost} = 18,000,000 \][/tex]

The company uses a standard cost of $ 2.15 per pound of clay. Lily produced 3,000 planters in May. In that month, 75,000 pounds of clay were purchased and used at the total cost of $ 153,000. Requirement 1. Calculate the direct material price variance. Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for the direct materials. 2. Calculate the direct material quantity variance. Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for the direct materials.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard quantity of clay used for each planter is 24 pounds. The company uses a standard cost of $ 2.15 per pound of clay. Lily produced 3,000 planters in May. In that month, 75,000 pounds of clay were purchased and used at the total cost of $ 153,000.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 153,000/75,000= $2.04
Direct material price variance= (2.15 - 2.04)*75,000
Direct material price variance= $8,250 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 3,000*24= 72,000 pounds
Direct material quantity variance= (72,000 - 75,000)*2.15
Direct material quantity variance= $6,450 unfavorable
Craigmont uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. Its year-end unadjusted trial balance shows Accounts Receivable of $154,500, allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,165 (credit) and sales of $1,175,000. If uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 0.5% of sales, what is the amount of the bad debts expense adjusting entry?
Answer:
$4,710
Explanation:
The computation of bad debts expense adjusting entry is shown below:-
Bad debts expense adjusting entry = Sales + Uncollectible allowances - Balance in allowance for doubtful accounts
= ($1,175,000 × 0.5%) - $1,165
= $5,875 - $1,165
= $4,710
Therefore for computing the bad debts expense adjusting entry we simply applied the above formula.
The adjusting entry is shown below:-
Bad Debt A/c Dr, $4,710
To Allowance for Doubtful Debts $4,710
(Being bad debt account is recorded)
The corporate charter of Llama Co. authorized the issuance of 12 million, $1 par common shares. During 2021, its first year of operations, Llama had the following transactions: January 1 sold 10 million shares at $17 per share June 3 purchased 4 million shares of treasury stock at $20 per share December 28 sold the 4 million shares of treasury stock at $22 per share What amount should Llama report as additional paid-in capital in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet
Answer:
$168 million
Explanation:
Additional Paid-in-Capital is the amount of capital received on the issuance of stock over its par value. Additional paid-in-capital is normally received against the issuance of common shares, preferred share and treasury share.
In this question Company made the following transaction.
January 1, 2021
As we Know Par value of the share is $1 any amount excess of this value will be added in additional paid-in-capital account.
Additional Paid-in-Capital = 10 million x ( $17 - $1 ) = $160 million
December 28, 2021
Additional Paid-in-Capital = 4 million x ($22-$20) = $8 million
Total Additional Paid-in-Capital = $160 million + $8 million = $168 million
Final answer:
Llama Co. should report $160 million as additional paid-in capital on its December 31, 2021, balance sheet.
Explanation:
In this case, we are asked to determine the amount of additional paid-in capital that Llama Co. should report in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet.
Additional paid-in capital is the excess amount that a company receives when issuing shares of stock above the par value of the stock.
To calculate the additional paid-in capital, we need to determine the total amount received from the sale of the common shares and subtract the par value of the shares. In this case, Llama Co. sold 10 million shares at $17 per share. The par value of each share is $1.
Therefore, the total amount received from the sale is 10 million shares x $17 per share = $170 million.
The par value of the shares is 10 million shares x $1 per share = $10 million.
Therefore, the additional paid-in capital is $170 million - $10 million = $160 million.
3) Nerdware Corp. began a new software development project in 2017. The project reached technological feasibility on June 30, 2018, and was available for release to customers at the beginning of 2019. Development costs incurred prior to June 30, 2018, were $5,000,000 and costs incurred from June 30 to the product release date were $1,700,000. The 2019 revenues from the sale of the new software were $5,000,000, and the company anticipates additional revenues of $6,500,000. The economic life of the software is estimated at four years. Amortization of the software development costs for the year 2019 would be:
Answer:
$739,160.00
Explanation:
The amount of amortization recorded in 2019 would reflect the sales revenue made in 2019.
The appropriate way to calculate the amortization charge each year is to divide the year's revenue by total revenue expected from the software over the four-year period,then multiply by the cost incurred on the software from the day the project reached technological feasibility till the date of product release as shown below
% of cost amortized in 2019=$5,000,000/($5,000,000+$6,500,000)=43.48%
Amortization in 2019=43.48%*$1,700,000=$739,160.00
The cost incurred to the date of technological feasibility should be expensed to profit or loss account

Which of the following statements about value is FALSE? a. Value is critical to maintaining long-term customer relationships. b. Value, unlike quality, means the same thing to all customers. c. Value includes the concept of quality, but it is broader in scope. d. Value takes into account every marketing program element. e. Value allows for the necessary balance among the five types of utility.
Answer:
Value, unlike quality, means the same thing to all customers.
Explanation:
Value refers to the benefits a customer receive from a product or service compared to its costs. As the value refers to the perception the customers have and every person has different needs, different people will assign a distinct value to the same product. According to that, the answer is that the statement about value that is false is that value, unlike quality, means the same thing to all customers.
The other options are true because if the customer feels that the product offers value, he/she will maintain a long-term relationship. Also, value refers to the quality of a product relative to the price and the marketing program elements describe what the company has to do to create value to customers. Moreover, the five types of utility are used together to develop a solution that generates value.
The FALSE statement about value is "Value, unlike quality, means the same thing to all customers". Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Value and quality are related concepts, but have different meanings and interpretations for different customers. While quality refers to the inherent characteristics and excellence of a product or service, value is subjective and varies from customer to customer.
Value encompasses not only quality but also factors such as price, features, benefits, and customer satisfaction.
Option b states that value means the same thing to all customers, which is not true. Different customers may prioritize different aspects when evaluating value, such as price sensitivity, specific features, or personal preferences.

Caroline is working for a marketing firm making $60,000 per year but considers starting her own marketing company. Caroline has determined that to launch the business, she needs to invest $100,000 of her own funds. The annual cost of running the business will include $75,000 for the rent of the office space, $190,000 for employee wages, and $6,000 for materials and utilities. Caroline plans to manage the business, which means that she will have to quit her current job. Suppose that the interest rate (or rate of return) on investments in the economy is 6%.
Caroline's total implicit cost per year is .
Answer:
$66,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total implicit cost per year is shown below:
= Given up salary + investment amount × interest rate on investment in the economy
= $60,000 + $100,000 × 6%
= $60,000 + $6,000
= $66,000
We simply added the given up salary and investment amount after considering the interest rate on investment so that the accurate amount could come
Final answer:
Caroline's total implicit costs per year amount to $66,000, which includes her foregone salary of $60,000 and the investment income of $6,000 she would have earned from her $100,000 at a 6% interest rate.
Explanation:
To calculate Caroline's total implicit costs per year, we need to consider the opportunity costs of her decision to start her own marketing firm. Implicit costs are those costs that represent foregone opportunities, such as the income she would have earned if she did not start the business. In Caroline's case, the foregone salary from her current job ($60,000) and the foregone investment income on her own funds ($100,000 invested at a 6% return rate, which equals $6,000) are her implicit costs.
Therefore, Caroline's total implicit cost per year is her foregone salary plus her foregone investment income:
$60,000 (foregone salary) + $6,000 (foregone investment income) = $66,000 (total implicit cost per year)
Wildhorse Company uses the LCNRV method, on an individual-item basis, in pricing its inventory items. The inventory at December 31, 2020, included product X. Relevant per-unit data for product X are as follows. Estimated selling price $49 Cost 39 Estimated selling costs 15 Normal profit 9 There were 990 units of product X on hand at December 31, 2020. Product X was incorrectly valued at $38 per unit for reporting purposes. All 990 units were sold in 2021. Compute the effect of this error on net income for 2020 and the effect on net income for 2021, and indicate the direction of the misstatement for each year.
Answer:
Net income for 2020 = $6,360 Overstated
Net income for 2021 = $6,360 Understated
Explanation:
The computation of net income for 2020 and the effect on net income for 2021 is shown below:-
Net realizable value per unit = Estimated selling price - Estimated selling expenses
= $49 - $15
= $34
Total value of ending inventory = 990 × $34
= $33,660
Incorrect value = 990 × $38
= $37,620
So, ending inventory of 2020 is overstated by
= $37,620 - $33,660
= $3,960
Overstatement of ending the inventory reduces the expense of the products sold and thereby raises the 2020 net profit by $3,960
The ending 2020 inventory is the beginning inventory for 2018. Overstatement of ending 2020 inventory leads to over establishment of beginning 2021 inventory. Increased beginning inventory results in higher cost of produced products and lower net profits.
Net income of 2021 is understated by $3,960
Net income for 2020 $6,360 Overstated
Net income for 2021 $6,360 Understated
The following selected amounts are reported on the year-end unadjusted trial balance report for a company that uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. Accounts receivable$434,000Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 1,360Debit Net Sales 2,210,000Credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates 3.0% of credit sales to be uncollectible. What adjusting entry should the company make at the end of the current year to record its estimated bad debts expense
Answer:
The adjusting entry to be made at the end of the current year to record its estimated bad debts expense will be:
Debit Bad debt expense $67,660
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $67,660
(To record bad debt expense)
Explanation:
The company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense.
3.0% of credit sales ($2,210,000) = $66,300
Balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $1,360 Debit
Required bad debt expense = $66,300 + $1,360 = $67,660
The addition of the opening debit balance is necessary in order to reinstate the allowance account to $66,300.

The income tax expense for Cullumber Company is calculated by applying the 40 percent tax rate to its taxable income, which is deduced by subtracting all allowable expenses from its sales revenue.
Explanation:
The question asks about calculating the income tax expense for Cullumber Company that will be reported on its income statement. The company has a fixed 40 percent tax rate. To calculate the income tax expense, we need to determine the company's taxable income. The taxable income is obtained by subtracting all allowable deductions, including the cost of goods sold (COGS), salaries and wages, depreciation, utilities, and interest expenses, from the sales revenue. Dividend revenue is generally considered an addition to income and the discontinued operations loss can be deducted.
Income tax expense is then calculated by applying the 40 percent tax rate to the taxable income. In this particular situation, specific calculations are not provided, as the student is supposed to use the given pre-tax amounts to find the correct taxable income and then apply the tax rate to find the income tax expense.
The effective tax rate and understanding of how income taxes work for corporations is crucial in business education, especially for students in finance or accounting. The mentioned tax policies and effective tax rates provide a general context for how corporate incomes are taxed in practice.

The borrower in a $238,000 loan makes interest payments at the end of each six months for eight years. These are computed using an annual effective discount rate of 6.5%. Each time he makes an interest payment, the borrower also makes a deposit into a sinking fund earning a nominal interest rate of 4.2% convertible monthly. The amount of each sinking fund deposit is D in the first three years and 2D in the remaining five years, and the sinking fund balance at the end of the eight years is equal to the loan amount. Find D.
Answer:
D = 7980.55
Explanation:
Since the borrower pays in 6 months wich is half a year, we calculate the semi-annual rate = [tex]\frac{Annual rate of intrest}{Number of months}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.042}{12}[/tex]
= 0.0035 = 0.35%
The effective semi-annual rate is, [(0.0035)⁶- 1] = 0.02118461
[tex]\frac{D[(1.02118461)^{16} - 1]}{1.02118461) - 1}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{D[(1.02118461)^{10} - 1]}{1.02118461) - 1}[/tex] = 238000
[tex]\frac{D(1.398518 - 1)}{0.02118461}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{D(1.233226 - 1)}{0.02118461}[/tex] = 238000
0.631744D = 238000 * 0.02118461
0.631744D = 5041.937
Therefore D = 7980.55
SInking funds are the funds or the money that is kept aside by the company for paying off future debts or bonds. This amount cannot be sed for any other payments. This helps in balancing the financial economy of the entity.
The value of D is $7,980.55
Computation:
Given:
Loan amount =$238,000Interest payment period =semi annual rateannual effective discount rate =6.5%nominal interst rate convertible monthly =4.2%Computation of effective semi-annual interest rate:
[tex]\text{Effective semi-annual interest rate}=(\dfrac{\text{Nominal Interest rate}}{\text{Number of month}})^\text{Payment period}-1\\\\=(\dfrac{0.042}{12})^6-1\\\\=(0.035)^6-1\\\\=0.02118\;\text{or}\;2.12\%[/tex]
The value of D will be computed based upon the total loan payment formula:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{Loan}&=\dfrac{\text{D(1+i)}^\text{n}-1}{(1+\text{i}-1)}\\&+\dfrac{\text{2D(1+i)}^\text{n}-1}{(1+\text{i}-1)}\\\$238,000&=\dfrac{\text{D}(1+0.02118)^{16}-1}{(1+0.02118)-1}+\dfrac{\text{2D}(1+0.02118)^{16}-1}{(1+0.02118)-1}\\\$238,000\times0.02118&=0.63174\text{D}\\\text{D}&=\$7,980.55\end{aligned}[/tex]

On September 1, Advantage Maintenance Company contracted to provide monthly maintenance services for the next five months at a rate of $3,000 per month. The client paid Advantage $15,000 on September 1. The maintenance services began on that date. Assuming Advantage records deferred revenues using the alternative treatment, what would be the adjusting entry recorded on December 31?
Answer:
Adjusting Entry
December 31,
Dr. Service Revenue $3,000
Cr. Unearned Revenue $3,000
Explanation:
Using alternate treatment the cash received in advance is recorded as the revenue initially.
On September following entry was performed
Dr. Cash $15,000
Cr. Revenue $15,000
At the end of the year services of 4 months have been performed and the amount of one month's service is received in advance until this date. It needs to be adjusted according to the accrual concept.
Final answer:
The adjusting entry on December 31 for Advantage Maintenance Company, which uses the accrual basis of accounting, would involve debiting Deferred Revenue and crediting Service Revenue by $12,000 to recognize four months of services provided from a $15,000 prepayment.
Explanation:
The student's question pertains to recording an adjusting entry for deferred revenues in accordance with accrual accounting principles. Advantage Maintenance Company received payment in advance for services to be provided over a five-month period. They must recognize revenue each month as the service is performed. By December 31, four months of services will have been provided. Therefore, they would need to record the revenue earned for these four months.
The adjusting entry on December 31 would be:
Debit Deferred Revenue for $12,000 (which is $3,000 per month imes 4 months)
Credit Service Revenue for $12,000
This reflects that $12,000 of the services have now been performed, and should be recognized as revenue, reducing the remaining deferred revenue to $3,000, which will be recognized the following month when the last portion of the service is performed.
Summit Products, Inc. is interested in producing and selling an improved widget. Market research indicates that customers would be willing to pay $90 for such a widget and that 50,000 units could be sold each year at this price. The current cost to produce the widget is estimated to be $65. If Summit Products requires a 25% return on sales to undertake production, what is the target cost for the new widget?
Answer:
$60
Explanation:
The computation of the target cost for the new widget is shown below:
Target selling price = $80
return on sales = 25%
Based on this
Profit per unit = 80 × 25%
= $20
Now
Target cost = Target selling price - Profit per unit
= $80 - $20
= $60
By deducting the profit per unit from the target selling price we can get the target cost and the same is applied and shown above i.e in the computation part
Final answer:
The target cost for the new widget, considering Summit Products' requirement for a 25% return on sales, is $67.50. However, since the current production cost is $65, which is below the target cost, the widget production is already meeting the company's profit criteria.
Explanation:
To calculate the target cost for the new widget, we first need to understand Summit Products' desired return on sales. They require a 25% return on the sales price of $90. To find the target cost, we subtract this desired return from the sales price.
The calculation is as follows:
Sales price per widget: $90Desired return on sales (25% of $90): $90 * 0.25 = $22.50Target cost: $90 - $22.50 = $67.50However, given that the question states the current cost to produce the widget is $65, which is below the calculated target cost, it implies that the production is already within Summit's required return on sales. Therefore, production of the widget at the current cost is feasible and profitable as per the company's financial criterion.
Frick Road Paving Corporation is considering an investment in a curb-forming machine. The machine will cost $180,000, will last 10 years, and will have a $30,000 salvage value at the end of 10 years. The machine is expected to generate net cash inflows of $40,000 per year in each of the 10 years. Frick's discount rate is 10%. The net present value of the proposed investment is closest to:
Answer:
$77,348.98
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-180,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $40,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $40,000 + $30,000 = $70,000
I =10%
NPV = $77,348.98
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

To find the Net Present Value (NPV) of the curb-forming machine investment, we calculate the present value of the annual net cash inflows and the salvage value using the given discount rate, and then subtract the initial investment cost. This financial calculation helps assess the investment's profitability over the machine's life.
The question revolves around calculating the Net Present Value (NPV) of investing in a curb-forming machine by Frick Road Paving Corporation. To find the NPV, we must consider the initial investment cost, annual net cash inflows, the salvage value at the end of the machine's life, and the discount rate. The formula for NPV is:
NPV = (Sum of Present Value of Cash Inflows over n years) - Initial Investment
Using the given details:
Cost of the machine: $180,000Annual net cash inflow: $40,000 for each of 10 yearsSalvage value at the end of 10 years: $30,000Discount rate: 10%First, calculate the present value of annual cash inflows and the salvage value. Then, subtract the initial cost of the machine to get the NPV.The steps are as follows:
Calculate the present value (PV) of $40,000 annual inflows for each of the 10 years.Calculate the PV of the $30,000 salvage value.Sum these present values.Subtract the initial investment of $180,000 from this sum to find the NPV.This approach, using the given discount rate and cash flows, allows us to evaluate the investment's profitability accurately. It is important for businesses to use such financial metrics to make informed decisions regarding their capital investments.Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $ 10.4 million machine. It will cost $ 48 comma 000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $ 4.2 million per year along with incremental costs of $ 1.1 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35 %. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
The free cash flow for year 0 will be $ -10,448,000
The free cash flow for years 1–5 will be $2,746,360
Explanation:
Free Cash Flow for the Year 0
Free Cash Flow for the Year 0 = Cost of the Machine + Transportation + Installation Charges
= -$10,400,000 - $48,000
= -$10,448,000
Free cash flows for the Years 1 – 5
Incremental free cash flows =
[(Annual Sales - Costs) x (1 – Tax Rate)] + [Depreciation x Tax Rate]
= [($4,200,000 - $1,100,000) x (1 – 0.35)] + [($10,448,000 / 5 Years) x 0.35]
= [$3,100,000 x 0.65] + [$2,089,600 x 0.35]
= $2,015,000 + $731,360
= $2,746,360
Therefore the The free cash flow for year 0 will be $ -10,448,000 and the free cash flow for years 1–5 will be $2,746,360

Martha Gentry won a $16,800,000 lottery and elected to receive her winnings in 30 equal annual installments. After receiving the first 10 installments, Martha and her husband divorced, and the remaining 20 payments became part of the property settlement. The judge who presided over the divorce proceedings awarded one-half interest in the future lottery payments to Martha and the other half to her ex-husband. Following the divorce, Martha decided to sell her interest in the 20 remaining lottery payments to raise the cash needed to open a flower store. An investor has offered Martha $2,555,980.What discount rate did the investor use in calculating the purchase price?
Answer:
Discount Rate = 9%
Explanation:
Martha won: $16,800,000
Number of installments = 30
The annual payment = amount won/ number of installments
= 16,800,000 / 30 = $560,000
___________________________
Individual share of 50% each = $560,000 * 50% = $280,000
Since the investor offered Martha $2,555,980 which is the future value for the remaining period of 20 years, we have:
Future Value = Present Value x PVAF (I, 20 Years)
$2,555,980 = $280,000 × PVIFA (I, 20 years)
PVIFA (I, 20 years) = 2555980/280000
PVIFA (I, 20 years) = 9.1285
From Present value annuity Tables, the factor value for 20 years 9.1285 is for 9%
Therefore, the discount rate the investor used in calculating the purchase price is 9%
