The Journal entry is shown below:-
Expenses Dr, $1,875 ($7,500 × 6 ÷ 24)
To Prepaid expenses $1,875
(Being expenses is recorded)
We consider 6 months from July 1 from Dec 31 and we consider 24 months as $7,500 is for 2 years period.
Here we debited the expenses as it increases the expenses and we credited the prepaid expenses as decrease the assets
The owner of Miller Restaurant is disappointed because the restaurant has been averaging 7,500 pizza sales per month but the restaurant and wait staff can make and serve 10,000 pizzas per month. The variable cost (for example, ingredients) of each pizza is $1.55. Monthly fixed costs (for example, depreciation, property taxes, business license, manager's salary) are $12,000 per month. The owner wants cost information about different volumes so that some operating decisions can be made.REQUIREMENTS:1) Fill in the following chart to provide the owner with the cost information. Then use the completed chart to help you answer the remaining questions:Monthly pizza volume 6,000 7,500 10,000 Total fixed costs Total variable costs Total costs Fixed cost per pizza Variable cost per pizza Average cost per pizza Selling price per pizza S 6.25 S 6.25 S 6.25 Average profit per pizza2) From a cost standpoint, why do companies such as Miller Restaurant want to operate near or at full capacity?3) The owner has been considering ways to increase the sales volume. The owner thinks that 10,000 could be sold per month by cutting the selling price per pizza from $6.25 to $5.75. How much extra profit (above the current level) would be generated if the selling price were to be decreased? (HINT: Find the restaurant's current monthly profit and compare it to the restaurant's projected monthly profit at the new sales price and volume.)
Answer: The answer is provided and attached below.
Explanation:
The explanation for number 1 and 3 has been attached.
2. The break even point is level of production whereby a company makes no profit or loss. When a company operates below the break even point, the company makes a loss and when a company operates above this level, the company make a profit. The higher the level, the higher the profit.
Therefore, from a cost point of view, Miller restaurant and every other company wants to operate at the full or near full capacity in order to earn higher level of profit. At this point, the fixed costs have been recovered, and every additional unit makes up the profit of the company.
In September 2000 the Pullman Group arranged a bond issue for the estate of the late Marvin Gaye. The collateral on the bonds (and source of cash flow for interest and principal payments) consisted of future royalties from classic songs such as "What's Going On," and "I Heard It Though The Grapevine." The bond issue had a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate of 5%. If the bond matures in 26 years, pays semiannual coupons, and the yield to maturity is 6%, what will the bond sell for
Answer:
The bond will sell for the amount of $869.17
Explanation:
According to the given data coupon amount = 50/2 = 25
Therefore, in order to calculate the selling price of the bond we would have to make the following calculation:
selling price of the bond = 25 * PVIFA(3%,52) + 1,000 * PVIF(3%,52)
selling price of the bond= 25 * 26.1662 + 1,000 * 0.2150
selling price of the bond= $869.17
The bond will sell for the amount of $869.17
The bond will sell for $869.17, if the bond matures in 26 years, pays semiannual coupons, and the yield to maturity is 6%.
What is the present value of annuity factor?PVIFA is an abbreviation of the Present Value Interest Factor of Annuity. It is an idea based on the time value of money; the money you have now is worth more than the same amount of money a few years from now.
As per the given information:
[tex]\rm\,By \;the \; amount \;of \;coupon \;data \; provided \; = \dfrac{50}{2} = \$25[/tex]
Therefore, in order to calculate the selling price of a bond we will need to do the following calculations:
[tex]\rm\,Bond \; sale \;price = 25 \times PVIFA (3\%, 52) + 1,000 \times PVIF (3\%, 52)\\\\Bond sale price = 25 \times 26.1662 + 1,000 \times 0.2150\\\\ Bond sale price = \$869.17[/tex]
Hence, the bond will sell for $869.17

Juhasz Corporation makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or HoursStandard Price or Rate Direct labor 0.40hours$29.00per hour Variable overhead 0.40hours$4.90per hour In August the company produced 8,800 units using 3,700 direct labor-hours. The actual variable overhead cost was $17,020. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead efficiency variance for August is:
Answer: -882
Explanation:
A variable overhead efficiency variance is simply defined as the actual labor hours less the budgeted labor hours which is then multiplied by the hourly rate for the standard variable overhead. It should be note that the standard variable overhead consist of the indirect labor costs like the security and the shop foreman.
Bases on the explanation above, the variable overhead efficiency will be:
= [(8800 × 0.40) - 3700] × 4.90
= -882
This is an unfavorable variance which means that the number of actual hours worked is more than the budgeted hours.
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $78,000 per year. The Techron II costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $55,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 11 percent, compute the EAC for both machines.
Answer:
EAC Techron I = -$141,050
EAC Techron II = -$138,181
Explanation:
Techron I costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $78,000 per year. Salvage value $55,000, use straight line depreciation.
annuity factor = [1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ] / r = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.11)³] / 0.11 = 2.4437
depreciation expense per year = ($285,000 - $55,000) / 3 = $76,667
cash outflow years 1 and 2 = [($78,000 + $76,667) x (1 - 24%)] - $76,667 = ($154,667 x 0.76) - $76,667 = $40,880
cash outflow year 3 = [($78,000 + $76,667) x (1 - 24%)] - $76,667 - $55,000 = ($154,667 x 0.76) - $76,667 - $55,000 = -$14,120
NPV = -285,000 - 40,880/1.11 - 40,880/1.11² + 14,120/1.11³ = -285,000 - 36,829 - 33,179 + 10,324 = -344,684
EAC = NPV / annuity factor = -344,684 / 2.4437 = -$141,050
Techron II costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. Salvage value $55,000, use straight line depreciation.
annuity factor = [1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ] / r = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.11)⁵] / 0.11 = 3.6959
depreciation expense per year = ($495,000 - $55,000) / 5 = $88,000
cash outflow years 1 through 4 = [($45,000 + $88,000) x (1 - 24%)] - $88,000 = ($133,000 x 0.76) - $88,000 = $13,080
cash outflow year 5 = [($45,000 + $88,000) x (1 - 24%)] - $88,000 - $55,000 = ($133,000 x 0.76) - $88,000 - $55,000 = -$41,920
NPV = -495,000 - 13,080/1.11 - 13,080/1.11² - 13,080/1.11³ - 13,080/1.11⁴ + 41,920/1.11⁵ = -495,000 - 11,784 - 10,616 - 9,564 - 8,616 + 24,877 = -510,703
EAC = NPV / annuity factor = -510,703 / 3.6959 = -$138,181

Dis-economics of scope : This refers to a situation when the average cost of production is greater from the shared production of services than the average costs from the preceding independent production of the services.
The vendor here in this case is experiencing Dis-economics of scope.
Consider two ways to protect your car from theft. The Club is a conspicuous steering wheel lock that makes it difficult for a thief to take a car. Lojack is a secret tracking system that makes it easier for police to catch a thief who steals a car on which it is installed.
If a car thief encounters a car with the Club and a car without it, the car with the Club imposes a________externality on the car without the Club. A policy implication of this result is a______those who use the Club.
If a car thief encounters two cars without the Club, but the car thief fears a Lojack system might be installed in one of the cars, the car with the Lojack system imposes a_______externality on the other car. A policy implication of this result is a_______those who use the Lojack technology.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the given situation,
The car with the club enforces on the car without the club a negative externality if a robber experiences a car with the club and a car without them. A policy implication of that result is a tax on those who use the club.
If a car thief reaches two cars even without club, however the car thief is afraid to build a lojack system in one of cars, the car with the Lojakc system forces on the other car positive externality. A resulting policy consequence is a subsidy for those who use the Lojack system.
QS 11-6 Recording employer payroll taxes LO P3 Merger Co. has 10 employees, each of whom earns $1,550 per month and has been employed since January 1. FICA Social Security taxes are 6.2% of the first $128,400 paid to each employee, and FICA Medicare taxes are 1.45% of gross pay. FUTA taxes are 0.6% and SUTA taxes are 5.4% of the first $7,000 paid to each employee. Prepare the March 31 journal entry to record the March payroll taxes expenses. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
March 31, 202x, payroll tax expenses
Dr FICA tax (OASDI) expense 961
Dr FICA tax (Medicare) expense 224.75
Dr FUTA tax expense 93
Dr SUTA tax expense 837
Cr FICA tax (OASDI) payable 961
Cr FICA tax (Medicare) payable 224.75
Cr FUTA tax payable 93
Cr SUTA tax payable 837
Explanation:
Since we are calculating only payroll taxes, the wages expense is not included in this journal entry.
total payroll for the 10 employees = 10 x $1,550 = $15,500
each employee has accumulated earnings of $1,550 x 3 = $4,650
Selected financial information for Thornton Company for 2019 follows: Sales $ 2,000,000 Cost of goods sold 1,400,000 Merchandise inventory Beginning of year 159,000 End of year 200,000 Required Assuming that the merchandise inventory buildup was relatively constant, how many times did the merchandise inventory turn over during 2019? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
7.80 times
Explanation:
First of all we have to calculate the average inventory
Opening inventory= 159,000
Closing inventory= 200,000
Average inventory= (opening inventory+closing inventory)/2
= ( 159,000+200,000)/2
= 359,000/2
= 179,500
The next step is to find the merchandise inventory turnover which is calculated as
= Cost of goods/ Average inventory
Cost of goods= $1,400,000
Average inventory= 179,500
= 1,400,000/179,500
= 7.799 times
= 7.80 times (to 2 decimal places)
Hence the merchandise inventory was turned over 7.80 times in 2019
Answer: 7.80 times
Explanation:
The Merchandise Inventory Formula can be calculated with the Inventory Turnover Ratio which aims to measure how often a company is able to change inventory over a period. The purpose being to see if the company in question is carrying enough Inventory per period.
The formula for this is,
= Cost of Goods sold / Average Inventory
Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory ) / 2
= (159,000 + 200,000) / 2
= 359,000/2
= $170,500
Therefore,
Inventory Turnover Ratio = 1,400,000/170,500
= 7.7994
= 7.80
The Merchandise was turned over 7.80 times in 2019.
Describe at least three exchange rate factors that are likely to attract foreign investors to a country's currency. Explain why these factors are attractive to foreign investors.
Answer: 1. High Interest
2. Low Government Debt
3. Political Stability
Explanation:
Foreign Investors are Investors and investors always like to invest where there are prospects of growth and profit.
High Interest Rates give them the opportunity to invest their money in a currency that will give them a great return because a country where there are high interest rates imparts this on its currency which causes it to rise in value thereby giving currency holders a capital gain.
Another factor is Government Debt. A country with high Government debt will typically be unable to raise funds through the bond market easily. This shortage of funds can lead to inflation which devalues currency causing foreign currency investors to flee.
Finally there is the Political Factor (other factors exist). A stable country politically stands a better chance of maintaining a higher value currency that one with lower political stability. This is because political Stability attracts investors and as more investments come into a country, this reflects in its currency by making it stronger which will attract foreign currency investors.

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company using the data below.
Nov 1 Purchased 600 units $80 each
Nov 4 Sold 200 units
Nov 11 Purchased 350 units $82 each
Nov 12 Sold 275 units
Nov 22 Purchased 175 units $84 each
Nov 23 Sold 155 units
Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated. Using the perpetual method, the company identifies the cost with each specific unit.
Ending inventory in units= total units - units sold= 495 units
COGS:
Nov 4= 200*80= 16,000
Nov 12= 275*82= 22,550
Nov 23= 155*84= 13,020
Ending inventory= 400*80 + 75*82 + 20*84= $39,830

Two design alternatives A and B have the following cash flows. Each alternative has 30-year life at a 5% interest rate. Alternative A Alternative B Initial Cost $700,000 $950,000 Annual Benefits $80,000 $120,000 Annual Operating Cost $20,000 $30,000 Using incremental B/C ratio to select the best alternative. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Incremental B/C ratio is 1.52 and Alternative A should be selected.
B. Incremental B/C ratio is 1.52 and Alternative B should be selected.
C. Incremental B/C ratio is 0.66 and Alternative B should be selected.
D. Incremental B/C ratio is 0.66 and Alternative A should be selected.
Answer:
Incremental B/C ratio is 1.46 and Alternative B should be selected.
Explanation:
Alternative A
Annual net benefit = Annual Benefit - Annual Operating Cost
=80,000 - 20,000
=$60,000
Present Value of all future cash flow = Annual net benefit * PV factor {PVIFA = (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r}
=60,000 * PVIFA (5%, 30years)
=60,000 * 15.372
=$922,320
Incremental B/C= Present Value of all future cash flow / Initial Cost / Initial Cost
=922,320 / 700,000
=1.3176
Alternative B
Annual net benefit = Annual Benefit - Annual Operating Cost
=120,000 - 30,000
=$90,000
Present Value of all future cash flow = Annual net benefit * PV factor {PVIFA = (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r}
=90,000 * PVIFA (5%, 30years)
=90,000 * 15.372
=$1,383,480
Incremental B/C= Present Value of all future cash flow / Initial Cost / Initial Cost
=1,383,480 / 950,000
=1.4562
Conclusion: Because Alternative B has higher ratio than the Alternative A, it should be chosen.

A team has prepared and estimate for what it can get accomplished in a Sprint. The Product Owner has wanted more to get accomplished in the upcoming Sprint and wants the Team to take on an additional user story. What should the ScrumMaster do in response to this conflict?
Answer: ScrumMaster should ask the Product Owner which other User Story they would like to give up in exchange for the one they want to add for this upcoming Sprint.
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. ScrumMaster should replan the Product Backlog and propose better user stories to address in the Sprint.
b. ScrumMaster should ask the Product Owner which other User Story they would like to give up in exchange for the one they want to add for this upcoming Sprint.
c. Stay out of the way as this is not the ScrumMaster's job to resolve.
d. ScrumMaster should ask the team to take the story on and work overtime.
From the question, we are informed that a team has prepared an estimate for what it can get accomplished in a Sprint and that the Product Owner has wanted more to get accomplished in the upcoming Sprint and therefore wants the team to take on an additional user story.
The best way to tackle this conflict is for the ScrumMaster should ask the Product Owner which other User Story they would like to give up in exchange for the one they want to add for this upcoming Sprint. Since an estimate has already been prepared, taking an additional user story will bring about an overestimation. Therefore, to being the right track, the thing to do is to actually give up a user story for the new one to be added.

Estimated Payable Days = 39
Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost. Last year, the company sold 30,000 of these balls, with the following results:
Sales (30,000 balls) $750,000
Variable expenses 450,000
Contribution margin 300,000
Fixed expenses 210,000
Net operating income 90,000
Required:
1A. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.
1B. Compute the the degree of operating leverage at last year.
2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable expenses will increase by $3 per ball next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains con- stant at $25, what will be the new CM ratio and break-even point in balls?
3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as 5. last year? The president feels that the company must raise the sell- ing price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?
4. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company's new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?
Refer to the data in (5) above.
A. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?
B. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Income Statement
Total revenue $750,000
Variable expenses $270,000
Contribution margin $480,000
Fixed expenses $420,000
Net operating income $60,000
Degree of operating leverage = 60.87%
C. If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant?
If you cannot avoid paying the salary raise, then the company needs to carry on the new plant project.
Explanation:
sales price per ball = $25
variable expenses: $15 per unit
direct labor $9other variable costs $6CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $300,000 = 2.5
break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $10 = 21,000 balls
degree of operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $210,000 / $660,000 = 31.82%
new CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $210,000 = 3.57
break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $7 = 30,000 balls
sales level for $90,000 profit = ($210,000 + $90,000) / $7 = 42,857.14 ≈ 42,858 balls
CM ratio (new plant) = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $570,000 = 1.32
break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $420,000 / $16 = 26,250 balls
sales level for $90,000 profit = ($420,000 + $90,000) / $16 = 31,875 balls

Crane Company purchased equipment on January 1 at a list price of $120000, with credit terms 4/10, n/30. Payment was made within the discount period. Crane paid $4750 sales tax on the equipment and paid installation charges of $2100. Prior to installation, Crane paid $5600 to pour a concrete slab on which to place the equipment. What is the total cost of the new equipment
Answer:
The cost of equipment = $127,650
Explanation:
According to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 16, property plants and equipment, the cost of land includes all of the cost necessary to bring and make it ready for the intended use.
These costs include purchase cost, fees and commission associated with the purchase transaction.
Here in this question the installation charges, sales taxes and the cost of concrete slab all fall within the definition of IAS 16
The quotation 4/10, n/30 implies that if payment is made within =10 days, Crane would get 4% off the initial purchase price.
Since the payment was made within the discounted period, the net purchase price would be
Purchase price = 120,000 - (4%× 120,000)= 115,200
The cost of equipment = 115,200 +4,750 + 2,100 + 5600= 127650
The cost of equipment = $127,650

In the Stackelberg model, the leader has a firstminusmover advantage because it A. has lower costs than the follower. B. reacts to the follower's decision. C. differentiates its output. D. chooses its output to manipulate the follower to produce the output that most benefits the leader.
Answer:
D. chooses its output to manipulate the follower to produce the output that most benefits the leader.
Explanation:
Strackelberg model is one where a market leader makes the first move and then the other followers firms follow sequentially.
For this model to be successful, the followers need to observe the leader and follow their lead in a production process or venture.
The market leader usually has an advantage that enables it make the first move.
For example a firm that has a monopoly in a market leads while new entrants follow.
In this model the market leader chooses an output and manipulates the followers to produce the same output, and this benefits the leader
RT Renovations is organized with two service departments (S1 and S2) and two production departments (P1 and P2). The company uses the step method to allocate service department costs, allocating from S1 to S2, P1, and P2 first. The cost accountant tells you that in November, $104,000 was allocated from S2 to P1 (including any cost allocated from S1 to S2). She also tells you that $54,000 was allocated from S1 to S2 in November.P1 used 25 percent of S2 services and P2 used 75 percent of S2 services in November. Finally, S2 used 40 percent of S1 services in November.Required:a. What are the total costs incurred by S1 in November? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)b. What are the total costs incurred by S2 (before any allocations) in November? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
a. $135,000
b. $362,000
Explanation:
a. The computation of the total costs incurred by S1 in November is shown below:
= costs assigned by S1 to S2 ÷ percentage of S1 services used by S2
= $54,000 ÷ 40%
= $135,000
b. The total cost incurred by S2 before any allocations is
= (costs assigned by S2 to P1 ÷ percentage of S2 services used by P1) - costs assigned from S1 to S2
= ($104,000 ÷ 25% - $54,000)
= $416,000 - $54,000
= $362,000
The River Falls Company has two divisions. The Cutting Division prepares timber at its sawmills. The Coating Division prepares the cut lumber into finished wood for the furniture industry. No inventories exist in either division at the beginning of 20X5. During the year, the Cutting Division prepared 60,000 cords of wood at a cost of $720,000. All the lumber was transferred to the Coating Division, where additional operating costs of $5 per cord were incurred. The 600,000 boardfeet of finished wood were sold for $2,500,000.
Required:
a. Determine the operating income for each division if the transfer price from Cutting to Assembly is at cost - $11 a cord.
b. Determine the operating income for each division if the transfer price is $9 per cord.
c. Since the Cutting Division sells all of its wood internally to the Assembly Division, does the manager care what price is selected? Why? Should the Cutting Division be a cost center or a profit center under the circumstances?
Answer:
a) Operating income at the cost of $11 is $660,000
b) Operating income at the cost of $9 is $540,000
c) Yes, the manager care what price is selected. The Cutting Division be a cost center.

Operating income at the cost of $9 = 60,000 cords × $9 = $540,000
A company reported net income of $6 million. During the year the average number of common shares outstanding was 3 million. The price of a share of common stock at the end of the year was $5. There were 400,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding on average and no dividends were declared and the preferred stock is noncumulative. The Price/Earnings Ratio is approximately:
a. $0.40.b. $1.76.c. $1.86.d. $2.00.
Answer:
The correct answer is $2.5, but it is not included in the option.
Explanation:
Earning per share (EPS) = Net income / Average number of common shares outstanding = $6,000,000 / 3,000,000 = $2 per share
Common stock market price per share (MPS) = $5
Price/Earnings Ratio = MPS / EPS = $5 / $2 = $2.5
The correct answer is $2.5.

Answer: The answers are given below
Explanation:
December 31 has interest rate = 12 % Interest expense will be:
= 5 000 000 × (12/100) × (6 /12)
= 5 000 000 × 0.12 × 0.5
= $ 300,000
September 30 has interest rate = 10 % Interest expense will be:
= 5 000 000 × (10/100) × (3/12)
= 5 000 000 × 0.10 × 0.25
= $ 125,000
October 30 has interest rate = 9% Interest expense will be:
= 5 000 000 × (9/100) × (4/12)
= 5 000 000 × 0.09 × 0.33
= $ 150,000
January 31 has interest rate = 6% Interest expense will be:
= 5 000 000 × (6/100) × (7/12)
= 5 000 000 × 0.06 × 0.583
= $ 175,000
