Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entry for the given data are as follows:
Cash A/c Dr. $1,000
Supplies A/c Dr. $3,000
Land A/c Dr. $8,000
Equipment A/c Dr. $5,000
To A/c Payable A/c $4,500
To Notes payable A/c $3,100
To M. Derr capital A/c $9,400 ($1000+$3000+$8000+$5000-$4500-$3100)
(Being Derr's investment is recorded)
Final answer:
To record Mike Derr's investment in the partnership with Mark Finger, adjust the equipment and land to their market values, remove accumulated depreciation, and prepare a journal entry with debits for assets added and credits for liabilities assumed and capital attributed.
Explanation:
When forming a partnership, the assets contributed by the partners must be recorded at their agreed-upon market value. In the case of Mike Derr's investment in the partnership with Mark Finger, we need to adjust the equipment and land values based on the market values provided and eliminate the accumulated depreciation on the equipment. Here is the journal entry for Derr's investment:
Cash $1,000Supplies $3,000Equipment $5,000 (market value, since the historical cost and accumulated depreciation are not relevant)Land $8,000 (market value)
These are debits to the new partnership's asset accounts. The credits to balance the entry will be:
Accounts Payable $4,500 (liability assumed by the partnership)Notes Payable $3,100 (liability assumed by the partnership)M. Derr, Capital $9,400 (calculated as total debits minus total credits already listed)
The entry records the assets Mike Derr is contributing to the partnership at their market value and the liabilities that the partnership is assuming.
Whole milk is one of the joint products in a joint manufacturing process. Management is considering whether to sell the whole milk at the split-off point or to process it further into cheese. The following data have been gathered:
I. Selling price of the whole milk
II. Variable cost of processing the whole milk into cheese
III. The avoidable fixed costs of processing the whole milk into cheese
IV. The selling price of cheese
V. The joint cost of the process from which the whole milk is produced
Which of the above items are relevant in a decision of whether to sell the whole milk as is or process it further into cheese?
a. I, II, and IV
b. I, II, III, and IV
c. I, II, III, and V
d. I, III, and V
Answer:
Option (b) : I, II, III, and IV
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
In order to evaluate weather a product is sold at a split-off point or can be further processed, the joint processing costs that have already been obtained will have no effect on the decision because the costs and revenues that will be acquired and obtained after consideration will have to be decided whether to continue processing or not. The sunken cost is the cost of processing jointly. Therefore it will not affect the decision to process further or not.
Hence, Option (b) : I, II, III, and IV is correct answer
Seaside Developments Inc. has $200,000 of no par value 4% cumulative preferred shares, and 12,000 shares of no par value common shares outstanding. In its first three years of operation, the company paid cash dividends as follows: Year 1: $8,000; Year 2: $18,000; and Year 3: $24,000.
The amount of dividends received by the preferred shareholders in year 2 was ____.
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of dividend received by the preferred shareholders in year 2 is shown below:
Annual preferred dividend = Par value of preferred stock × Dividend rate on preferred stock
= 200,000 × 4%
= $8,000
By multiplying the par value with the dividend rate we can get the amount of dividend received and the same is shown above

A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts: Karaoke Machines CDs Quantity Price Quantity Price (Dollars) (Dollars) 2017 20 50 60 5 2018 21 70 80 6 Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is . (Note: Use 2017 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machine and 6 CDs.)
Answer:35.38%
Explanation: Using basket at 2 karaoke machine and 6 CDS
Value of market basket o in 2017 = ($50 * 2) + ($5 * 6) = $130
Value of market basket in 2018 = ($70 * 2) + ($6 * 6) = $176
-Using 2017 as base year
Customer Price Index in 2017 = ($130 / $130) * 100 = 100
CPI in 2018 = ($176 / $130) * 100 = 135.38
% change in overall price = 135.38- 100= 35.38%
or
Percentage change in overall price=base index- new index / base index X 100
= $176 - $130/ 130= 46/130= 0.3538 x 100 = 35.38%.
As applied to mortgage loans, which of the following statements is FALSE? By increasing the number of payments per year you increase your effective borrowing rate. Advertised rates are annual percentage rates. A spreadsheet uses the periodic interest rate, not the annual percentage rate. You can find a monthly payment by dividing the annual payment by 12.
Answer:
The statement that is false about mortgage loans is Advertised rates are annual percentage rates.
Explanation:
Mortgage loan refers to a loan that uses real estate as collateral to receive cash upfront to be redeemed after the loan repayment is completed. if the loan is not remitted as at when due , the lender lays claim to the real estate property.
By increasing the number of payments per year you increase your effective borrowing rate.
When you use a spreadsheet to calculate your interest rates, it uses the periodic interest rate, not the annual percentage rate.
You can find a monthly payment by dividing the annual payment by 12.
However, advertised interest rate are not the same as your loan's annual percentage rate (APR) because other charges like mortgage insurance, closing costs, discount points and loan origination fees apply.
The project will require an initial investment of $20,000, but the project will also be using a company-owned truck that is not currently being used. This truck could be sold for $14,000, after taxes, if the project is rejected. What should Black Sheep Broadcasting do to take this information into account
Answer and Explanation:
Given that
Initial investment = $20,000
Sale value of the truck = $14,000
Based on the information given, the amount of initial investment should be increased by sale value of the truck i.e $14,000 as it denotes the opportunity cost i.e to be lost not the sunk cost
Therefore, in this case the amount of the initial investment should be increased by $14,000

You buy a seven-year bond that has a 5.75% current yield and a 5.75% coupon (paid annually). In one year, promised yields to maturity have risen to 6.75%. What is your holding-period return? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer :
Holding period return = 0.95%
Explanation :
As per the data given in the question,
Years of maturity = 7
Coupon rate = 5.75%
Current yield = 5.75%
Per value of bond = $1000.00
Coupon payment = Par value × Coupon rate
=1,000 ×5.75%
= $57.50
Current yield = Coupon payment ÷ price of bond
0.575 = $57.50 ÷ Price per bond
Price per bond = $1,000
In 1 year the yield to maturity increases to = 6.75%
Price of bond after 1 year = $951.96
The formula is shown below:
=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT:FV:0)
where
Rate = 6.75%
FV = $1,000
PMT = $57.5
NPER = 7 - 1 = 6 years
Please find the attachment below:
Holding period return = (Price of bond after one year - Current bond price + Coupon payment) ÷ Current bond price
= 0.95%

The Heather Honey Company purchases honeycombs from beekeepers for $2.00 a pound. The company produces two main products from the honeycombs%u2014honey and beeswax. Honey is drained from the honeycombs, and then the honeycombs are melted down to form cubes of beeswax. The beeswax is sold for $1.50 a pound.
The honey can be sold in raw form for $3.00 a pound. However, some of the raw honey is used by the company to make honey drop candies. The candies are packed in a decorative container and are sold in gift and specialty shops. A container of honey drop candies sells for $4.40.
Each container of honey drop candies contains three quarters of a pound of honey. The other variable costs associated with making the candies are as follows:
Decorative container $0.40
Other ingredients 0.25
Direct labor 0.20
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.10
Total variable manufacturing cost $0.95
The monthly fixed manufacturing overhead costs associated with making the candies follow:
Master candy maker%u2019s salary $3,880
Depreciation of candy making equipment 400
Total fixed manufacturing cost $4,280
The master candy maker has no duties other than to oversee production of the honey drop candies. The candy making equipment is special-purpose equipment that was constructed specifically to make this particular candy. The equipment has no resale value and does not wear out through use.
A salesperson is paid $2,000 per month plus a commission of 5% of sales to market the honey drop candies.
The company had enjoyed robust sales of the candies for several years, but the recent entrance of a competing product into the marketplace has depressed sales of the candies. The management of the company is now wondering whether it would be more profitable to sell all of the honey rather than converting some of it into candies.
Required:
1.What is the incremental contribution margin per container from further processing the honey into candies?
2.What is the minimum number of containers of candy that must be sold each month to justify the continued processing of honey into candies?
The incremental contribution margin per container from further processing the honey into candies is $0.98.
The incremental contribution margin per container will be calculated thus:
= $4.40 - $0.95 - $4.4 × 5% - 3 × 3 / 4
= $0.98
On the other hand, the minimum number of containers of candy sold each month will be:
=($2,000 + $3,880) / $0.98
= 6,000 containers
Therefore, the minimum number of containers of candy that must be sold each month is 6000.

Final answer:
To continue producing honey drop candies profitably, the Heather Honey Company needs an incremental contribution margin of $1.20 per container and must sell at least 8,467 containers monthly to cover fixed and variable costs.
Explanation:
The financial viability of continuing to produce honey drop candies in the face of competition, considering the incremental contribution margin per container and the minimum number of containers that must be sold to justify production. First, to calculate the incremental contribution margin per container of candy, we consider the selling price of the candies ($4.40) minus the cost of honey ($3.00 × 0.75 = $2.25) and the total variable manufacturing costs ($0.95) linked to the production of candies. This results in an incremental contribution margin of $1.20 per container. To determine the break-even point for candy production, considering both fixed and variable costs, we include the fixed manufacturing overhead ($4,280), the salary of the master candy maker ($3,880), and the salesperson's fixed compensation ($2,000). Knowing the fixed costs ($10,160) and the incremental contribution margin per container ($1.20), the Heather Honey Company must sell a minimum of 8,467 containers per month (rounded up from 8466.6667) to cover these costs and justify the continued processing of honey into candies.
Kramer Enterprises reports year-end information from 2015 as follows: Sales (160,000 units) $960,000 Cost of goods sold 640,000 Gross margin 320,000 Operating expenses 260,000 Operating income $60,000 Kramer is developing the 2016 budget. In 2016 the company would like to increase selling prices by 12.5%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 9%. All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant. Assume that cost of goods sold is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost. What is budgeted sales for 2016
Answer:
Budgeted sales for 2016 is $982,800 (145,600 units)
Cost of goods sold: $582,400
Gross margin: $400,400
Operating expenses: $260,000 (fixed cost and remained constant)
Operating income: $140,400
Explanation:
In 2015:
Selling prices = $960,000/160,000 = $6
Cost of goods sold per unit = $640,000/160,000 = $4
In 2016, the company would like to increase selling prices by 12.5%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 9%.
Selling prices = $6 x (1 + 12.5%) = $6.75
Sales volume = 160,000 x (1-9%) = 145,600 units
Total sales = 145,600 x $6.75 = $982,800
Cost of goods sold = 145,600 x $4 = $582,400
Gross margin = $982,800 - $582,400 = $400,400
Operating expenses $260,000 (fixed cost and remained constant)
Operating income = Total sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses = $982,800 - $582,400 - $260,000 = $140,400
The following are budgeted data:January February March Sales in units 16,600 23,200 19,600Production in units 19,600 20,600 19,300One pound of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be:
Answer:
The purchases of raw material for February are budgeted to be 20275 pounds.
Explanation:
The opening inventory of raw material in February should be equal to 25% of the production requirement for the month of February. Thus, the opening balance of raw material is,
Opening balance- Raw material = 0.25 * 20600 = 5150 pounds
Similarly, the closing inventory for raw material for the month of February should be equal to the 25% of production requirement for the month of March. Thus, the closing inventory of raw material in the month of February is,
Closing balance = 0.25 * 19300 = 4825 pounds
Purchases of raw material should be enough to produce enough units to meet February's production requirement after using the opening inventory of raw material along with having enough desired closing inventory of raw material. So, the purchases of raw material are,
Purchases = Closing inventory + Production - Opening Inventory
Purchases = 4825 + 20600 - 5150
Purchases = 20275 pounds
8. A company increased the selling price of its product from $1.00 to $1.10 a unit when total fixed costs increased from $400,000 to $480,000 and variable cost per unit remained unchanged. How will these changes affect the breakeven point? A. These changes will increase the breakeven point B. These changes will decrease the breakeven point C. These changes will not affect the breakeven point D. The effect cannot be determined
Answer:
C. These changes will not affect the breakeven point
Explanation:
The BEP which is the break even point is the point where the company's sales or revenue generated is equal to the cost incurred. As such, the BEP is the number of units that must be sold for the company to make neither a profit nor a loss.
Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.
The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.
As such, the net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs
Let the number of units to break even be u, the variable cost per units be v
then before the increase,
u(1 - v) = 400,000
u = 400,000/(1 - v)
After the increase
u(1.1 - v) = 480,000
u = 480,000/(1.1 - v)
Assuming a random figure of $0.50 for the variable cost per unit, the units required to breakeven before the changes made
= 400000/(1-0.5)
= 800,000 units
After the changes made the units required to breakeven
= 480,000/(1.1 - 0.5)
= 480,000/0.6
= 800,000 units
Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year's greeting card. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.10 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.42 per card. The company receives $2.40 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Based on past data, the number of customers from Los Angeles is normally distributed with a mean of 2,500 and a standard deviation 600. What is the optimal production quantity for the card for Los Angeles, if Wholemark only makes a one-time production for this area?
Answer:
Optimal production quantity = 2970
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Cost of card (c) = $0.10 + $0.42 = $0.52
Selling price (p) = $2.40
Salvage value (v) = 0
So,Critical ratio (Z)
= (p - c) ÷ (p - v)
= ($2.40 - $0.52) ÷ ($2.40 - 0)
=0.7833
Z(0.7833) = NORMSINV (0.7833)
Z(0.7833) = 0.783387
n = no. of city = 1
μ = n × mean demand = 1 × 2,500 = 2,500
Optimal production quantity = μ + Z (0.7833) × standard deviation
= 2,500 + 0.783387 × 600
= 2970.03
= 2970
We simply applied the above formula

Cr. Cash $30,000
December 31, 2021
Dr. Mortgage Payable $13,200
Dr. Interest Expense $16,800
Cr. Cash $30,000
Explanation:
Mortgage Loan
Installment of Mortgage loan includes the interest expense and principal value. As Cash of $180,000 received, so we need to debit the cash with this value. On the other hand there is a liability arise from this event. A mortgage payable account will be credited because it has credit nature.
First Loan Payment
Installment Payment = $30,000
Interest portion of Installment = $180,000 x 10% = $18,000
Interest portion of Installment = $30,000 - $18,000 = $12,000
First Loan Payment
Installment Payment = $30,000
Interest portion of Installment = ($180,000-12,000) x 10% = $16,800
Interest portion of Installment = $30,000 - $16,800 = $13,200
First Loan Payment
Installment Payment = $30,000
Interest portion of Installment = $180,000 x 10%
Interest portion of Installment = $18,000
Interest portion of Installment = $30,000 - $18,000
Interest portion of Installment = $12,000
Second Loan Payment
Installment Payment = $30,000
Interest portion of Installment = ($180,000-12,000) x 10%
Interest portion of Installment = $16,800
Interest portion of Installment = $30,000 - $16,800
Interest portion of Installment = $13,200

Cullumber, Inc. produces three types of balloons—small, medium, and large—with the following characteristics: Small Medium Large Selling price per unit $6 $8 $10 Variable cost per unit 3 5 6 Contribution margin per unit $3 $3 $4 Machine hours per unit 1 2.4 3 Demand in units 600 1,190 880 The company has only 2,000 machine hours available each month. How many units of each type of balloon should the company make to maximize its total contribution margin? (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
Answer: Small Balloons - 600 units
Medium Balloons - 0 units
Large Balloons - 467 units
Explanation:
To solve this question, the Contribution margin per hour must be ascertained to find out which product is manufactured more efficiently in relation to machine hours.
Small Balloon.
= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit
= 3/1
= 3
Medium Balloon.
= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit
= 3/2.4
= 1.25
Large Balloon
= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit
= 4/3
= 1.33
From the above we can rank the most efficient.
Efficiency Ranking
Small Balloon - 1
Large Balloon - 2
Medium - Balloon 3
As a rule, it is better that a company produces goods it is more efficient at first,
Small Balloons will be produced first and have a demand of 600 units.
With a cost of 1 unit therefore, producing 600 would be,
= 600 * 1
= 600 machine hours.
With Small Balloons taking 600 hours and with a limit of 2,000 hours we are left with,
= 2,000 - 600
= 1,400 hours.
Next in production is Large Balloons at a demand of 880 units with each unit costing $3,
= 880 * 3
= 2,640 machine hours
Seeing as we only have 1,400 machine hours left all these hours will be converted to used for Large Balloons which means the following number of units will be produced,
= 1,400/3
= 466.67
= 467 units.
The Company should produce in the following order to maximise its total contribution margin.
Small Balloons - 600 units
Medium Balloons - 0 units
Large Balloons - 467 units
On January 1, 2021, Harrington, Inc. signed a 10-year noncancelable lease for a heavy duty drill press from Jones Equipment Inc. The lease stipulated annual payments of $260,000 starting at the beginning of the first year, with title passing to Harrington at the expiration of the lease. Harrington treated this transaction as a finance lease. The drill press has an estimated useful life of 15 years, with no salvage value. Harrington uses straight-line amortization for all of its plant assets. Aggregate lease payments were determined to have a present value of $1,668,591, based on implicit interest of 9%. In its 2021 income statement, what amount of amortization expense should Harrington report from this lease transaction
Answer: $126,773.19
Explanation:
First the $260,000 must be subtracted from the present value.
= 1,668,591 - 260,000
= $1,408,591
This was done because the $260,000 was paid in the beginning of the year and has thus reduced the liability.
The amortization expense will therefore be,
= 1,408,591 * 0.09
= $126,773.19
In its 2021 income statement, Harrington should report $126,773.19 as amortization expenses.

True Nutri Inc. sells performance enhancing foods and beverages for athletes and health-conscious people. In a recent product development meeting, Mike suggested that True Nutri Inc. should acquire a new technology developed by One Health Corp. for infusing vitamin and mineral blends into food. He believed it would be easier to acquire the technology directly from One Health Corp. Justin felt that the method of infusing blends into food should be developed within True Nutri Inc. itself. He knows it may take longer but feels that the competitive advantage it would provide was worth the wait. Lara suggested that True Nutri Inc. should use its resources and work jointly with One Health Corp. to develop an entirely new product.
Based on the scenario, which method of acquiring technology does Justin favor?Question 1 options:
1-internal development
2-licensing
3-contracted development
4-franchising
5-research partnership
Answer:
1. Internal development.
Explanation:
From the write up, Justin felt that the method of infusing blends into food should be developed within True Nutri Inc. itself. He knows it may take longer but feels that the competitive advantage it would provide was worth the wait.
Based on the scenario, Justin favors internal development as a method of acquiring technology.
Internal development describes a growth strategy that focuses on developing an organization by making use of its own resources and capabilities.
Basically, internal development helps to expand businesses, boost productivity and sales, increase efficiency etc.
hich one of the following statements is correct? Question 13 options: A longer payback period is preferred over a shorter payback period. The payback rule states that you should accept a project if the payback period is less than one year. The payback period ignores the time value of money. The payback rule is biased in favor of long-term projects. The payback period considers the timing and amount of all of a project's cash flows.
Answer:
The payback period ignores the time value of money.
Explanation:
The Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
The shorter the payback period, the more desirable a project is.
The company determines the maximum pay back period, it can be a year or more than a year of even less.
The Payback period doesn't account for the time value of money. The discounted playback period corrects for this limitation.
The Payback period method ignores cash flows after the payback period has been reached.

On January 4, 2019, Kiley Co. leased a building to Dodd Corp. for a ten-year term at an annual rental of $200,000. At the beginning of the lease, Kiley received $800,000 covering the first two years' rent of $400,000 and a security deposit of $400,000. This deposit will not be returned to Dodd upon expiration of the lease but will be applied to payment of rent for the last two years of the lease.What portion of the $800,000 should be shown as a current and long-term liability in Kiley's December 31, 2019 balance sheet? Current Liability Long-term Liabilitya. $0 $800,000b. $200,000 $400,000c. $400,000 $400,000d. $400,000 $200,000
Answer:
b. $200,000 $400,000
Explanation:
As it given that $800,000 received by Kiley, out of which $400,000 is the security deposit amount and remaining $400,000 represents the current year and the next year rent
So we assume $200,000 is the current year rent revenue and the other $200,000 represents the unearned rent revenue which is reflected as a current liability
And, the security amount is shown as a long term liability
