Answer: $129,500
Explanation:
According to the Accrual Basis in Accounting, revenue and expenses should only be recognised when goods have been delivered.
On the December 31, 2020 Sandra's Boutique had 1,850 gift certificates outstanding but these had been sold already to people during the year for $70.
This means that they have been paid for a service that they have not given (they provide the service when the GIFT certificate is renewed).
They cannot therefore recognize the revenue as Revenue yet and have to defer it.
The amount to be Deferred will therefore be,
= 1,850 * $70
= $129,500
When using capital rationing, unfunded proposals a.may be reconsidered if funds later become available. b.are discarded for purposes of decision making for all future plans. c.are always considered to be unacceptable. d.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
A) may be reconsidered if funds later become available.
Explanation:
Capital rationing is a strategy used by businesses (firms, companies, organisations, investors etc) in restricting the number of investments or projects that a company can presently undertake. The projects chosen are those that have the greatest potential to bring in the highest marginal profit to the business. In this strategy, companies prioritise and delve into projects that have a high rate of returns on investments much more readily than projects with a lesser rate of return on investment (ROI).
Unfunded proposals refers to projects or propositions that did not make the cut for the capital released or were not considered as 'great profit opportunities' to be invested into at the present time based on the current strategy (capital rationing). Unfunded proposals are good ideas (as no business deliberately wants to make a loss) but they were not considered by the management to be investments to delve into immediately for various reasons (ranging from low ROI to low funds to wrong timing etc.)
Knowing this, we will therefore see that under the right circumstances, unfunded proposals could be picked up again and invested into.
As such, Option A (unfunded proposals may be reconsidered if funds later become available) is the correct answer
ovar Inc., a U.S. multinational, began operations this year. Jovar had pretax U.S. source income and foreign source income as follows: U.S. source income $ 600,000 Foreign source income—Country O 100,000 Total $ 700,000 Jovar paid $50,000 income tax to Country O. Compute Jovar's U.S. tax liability if it takes the foreign tax credit.
Answer:
$204,000
Explanation:
Computation of Jovar's U.S. tax liability
First step isnto determine the U.S precredit tax.
34%×$700,000
=$238,000
U.S Precredit tax = $238,000
Second step is to calculate the foreign tax credit.
Therefore the Credit is limited to:
$238,000 * 100/700
= $34,000.
Hence:
$238,000-$34,000
=$204,000
Therefore Jovar's U.S. tax liability if it takes the foreign tax credit will be $204,000
Suppose a stock sells for $1,200 and pays no dividends. At the end of one year, the stock’s price decreases to $1,000. What is the dollar return on an investment in this stock? $200.00 -$0.17 -$200.00
Answer:
ROI= -$200
Explanation:
Rate of return is also called return on investment. It measires the increase or decrease relative to initial cost of investment.
For example if $500 was invested in a business and eventually it brings in a profit of $20 the return on the initial investment will be the $20 profit. If however there is a loss it will result in a negative return on investment.
In this scenario the stock does not pay any dividends and initial cost was $1,200
To get the return on investment
ROI= Final investment amount - Initial investment amount
ROI= 1,000 - 1,200
ROI= -$200
2-B. A farmer estimates that if he harvests his soybean crop now, he will obtain 1,000 bushels, which he can sell at $3.00 per bushel. However, he estimates that this crop will increase by an additional 1,200 bushels of soybeans for each week he delays harvesting, but the price will drop at a rate of 50 cents per bushel per week; in addition, it is likely that he will experience spoilage of approximately 200 bushels per week for each week he delays harvesting. When should he harvest his crop to obtain the largest net cash return, and how much will be received for his crop at that time
Answer:
the farmer should wait for two weeks in order to be able to obtain 3,000 bushels and sell then at $2 per bushel, total revenue $6,000
Explanation:
time to harvest bushels price revenue
today 1,000 $3 $3,000
1 week 2,000 $2.50 $5,000
2 weeks 3,000 $2 $6,000
3 weeks 4,000 $1.50 $6,000
4 weeks 5,000 $1 $5,000
5 weeks 6,000 $0.50 $3,000
net increase per week = +1,200 bushels - 200 bushels = 1,000 bushels
Great Harvest Bakery purchased bread ovens from New Morning Bakery. New Morning Bakery was closing its bakery business and sold its two-year-old ovens at a discount for $697,000. Great Harvest incurred and paid freight costs of $33,500, and its employees ran special electrical connections to the ovens at a cost of $4,700. Labor costs were $36,300. Unfortunately, one of the ovens was damaged during installation, and repairs cost $4,700. Great Harvest then consumed $870 of bread dough in testing the ovens. It installed safety guards on the ovens at a cost of $1,470 and placed the machines in operation.Prepare a schedule to show the amount at which the ovens should be recorded irn Great Harvest's Equipment account.
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
The schedule showing the amount recorded goes thus:
Particulars Amount($)
Purchase price 697000
Freight costs 33500
Electrical connection 4700
labor costs 36300
Bread dough used in testing oven
870
Safety Guards 1470
Total cost of equipment = 773840
The repairs cost 4700 is excluded because it is not a normal cost of the installation, therefore, it should be recorded as an expense in the income statement.

(c) One recent cost analysis report indicates that electricity from hydroelectric power can be produced for about $0.05 per kWh , while electricity from conventional coal-fired power plants can be produced for an average of about $0.11 per kWh . Calculate the percent change in the cost of electricity for a typical house resulting from a switch between conventional coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power. Show your work.
Answer: 54.5%
Explanation:
Hydroelectric power is said to cost $0.05 per kWh to produce. A typical house uses 10,900 kWh in a year so in a year it would cost,
= 0.05 * 10,900
= $545
Coal-fired Electricity can be produced at a cost of $0.11 per kWh so a typical house would cost,
= $0.11 * 10,900
= $1,199
Percentage change in the cost using Coal-fired as a base is,
= (1,199 - 545)/1,199
= 0.5455
= 54.5%
54.5% is the percent change in the cost of electricity for a typical house resulting from a switch between conventional coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power.
Answer:
The percent change in the cost of electricity from coal-fired to hydroelectric power = 54.5% reduction.
Explanation:
a) The cost of coal-fired power = $0.11 per KWh
b) The cost of hydroelectric power = $0.05 per KWh
c) The reduction or savings = $0.06 ($0.11 - $0.05) per KWh
d) The % change is therefore = $0.06/$0.11 x 100 = 54.5%
e) The implication is that it will cost a typical house 54.5% less when it switches from coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power. The house will be paying $0.06 less per KWh.
Gustavson Corporation uses the direct method to allocate service department costs to operating departments. The company has two service departments, Administrative and Facilities, and two operating departments, Assembly and Wholesaling. Administrative costs are allocated on the basis of employee hours and Facilities costs are allocated on the basis of space occupied. The total Wholesaling Department cost after the allocations of service department costs is closest to which value:
a. $337,530b. $331,090c. $340,240d. $340,426
Answer:
C) $340,240
Explanation:
Service Department Operating Department
Administrative Facilities Assembly Wholesaling
Departmental costs $26,840 $59,400 $183,430 $321,190
Employee time (hours) 4,000 2,000 29,000 15,000
Space occupied - sq ft 2,000 2,000 30,000 6,000
total administrative costs = $26,840
total employee hours = 29,000 + 15,000 = 44,000
administrative cost per employee hour = $26,840 / 44,000 = $0.61
total facilities costs = $59,400
total square feet = 30,000 + 6,000 = 36,000
administrative cost per employee hour = $59,400 / 36,000 = $1.65
total Wholesaling Department cost = $321,190 + ($0.61 x 15,000) + ($1.65 x 6,000) = $321,190 + $9,150 + $9,900 = $340,240

Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $240,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 ¼. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense. 1. Using the implied selling price of 117 ¼, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds? 2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
1. Cash proceed is $281,400.
2. Total bond interest expenses over the bond llife is $318,600.
3. Bond interest expense on first interest payment date is $11,256.
Explanation:
1. Using the implied selling price of 117 ¼, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds?
Selling price = 117 ¼ / 100 = 1.1725
Cash proceed = Bond face value * Bond selling price = $240,000 * 1.1725 = $281,400.
2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
Total interest payment = $240,000 * 10% * 15 = $360,000
Total repayment = Total interest payment + Bond par value = $360,000 + $240,000 = $600,000
Total bond interest expenses over the bond llife = Total repayment - Cash proceed/Amount borrowed = $600,000 - $281,400 = $318,600
3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?
Bond interest expense on first interest payment date = Cash proceed * Annual market rate on issue date * (6/12) = $281,400 * 8% * 0.5 = $11,256

Suppose that banks are less able to raise funds and so lend less. Consequently, because people and households are less able to borrow, they spend less at any given price level than they would otherwise. The crisis is persistent so lending should remain depressed for some time.
Refer to Financial Crisis. In the long run, if the Fed does not respond, the change in price expectations created by the crisis shifts:
a) short-run aggregate supply right.
b) aggregate demand right.
c) aggregate demand left.
d) short-run aggregate supply left.
Answer:
The correct answe is: d) short-run aggregate supply left.
Explanation:
In this regard, one can observe an existing problem of banks that are less able to raise funds and therefore lend less. This cycle leads to less capital inflow, due to the reduced amount of assets in the budget.
Therefore the expected scenario is the behavior of the cumulative curve of the source in the short term moving to the left, due to the decrease in the growth of the investment pattern.
Ralph Young was a commercial tour boat operator on the northern coast of Kauai, Hawaii. He was licensed by the state of Hawaii to operate his boat in Hanalei Bay. The U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Coast Guard had also specifically granted Young an unrestricted license to operate his boats in Hanalei Bay. Hawaii subsequently passed a law that banned all commercial use of Hanalei Bay. The state refused to renew Young's state license and he was not allowed to operate his vessel under his federal licenses. Young filed a lawsuit against the state alleging that the state law that prohibited him from operating his boat conflicted with the federal law that authorized him to do so. What would be the court's most likely response to Ralph's lawsuit?
a. The court probably found that the state law was unconstitutional under the supremacy cause.
b. The court probably found that the state law was unconstitutional under the equal protection clause.
c. The court probably found that the state law was constitutional under the supremacy cause.
d. The court probably found that the state law was constitutional under the due process cause.

The stock price today can be computed by first determining the future value of the dividend in perpetuity ,then discounting that to present value.
Value in perpetuity=dividend/required return
dividend is $20
required return is 5.10%
value in perpetuity=$20/5.10%=$392.16
The price of the stock today is the present value of the value in perpetuity
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
FV is $392.16
r is the required return of 5.10%
n is the number of years involved,which is 19,it is 19 because counting from today till the next next years would be first day of the next twenty years
price=$392*(1+5.10%)^-19=$ 152.35
Assume that the. Top level management team has accepted your recommendation how can their effectiveness be evaluated three months after implementation
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question provides no context or references, we can say that if the top-level management team has accepted your recommendation their effectiveness can be evaluated three months after implementation in the following way.
The recommendation needs to establish some goals that have to be accomplished in the short, medium, and long-range. After the first three months, you establish your exéctations and you should have included your KPIs or Key Performance Indicators in order to do the proper evaluation and knowing if the recommendations were valid or attainable. Lack of goals or KPIs to evaluate the recommendation would end up complicating the evaluation process.
A company has a process that results in 1,300 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $13.00 per pound. An alternative would be to process Product A further at a cost of $13,600 and then sell it for $23.00 per pound. What is the additional profit (loss) that would result from processing the product further?
Answer:
If the company process further the units, income will decrease by $600.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company has a process that results in 1,300 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $13.00 per pound.
An alternative would be to process Product A further for $13,600 and then sell it for $23.00 per pound.
We need to determine the result of further processing the product.
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 1,300*13= $16,900 increase
Continue processing:
Effect on income= 1,300*23 - 13,600= $16,300
It is more profitable to sell the units before further processing.

Using High-Low to Calculate Predicted Total Variable Cost and Total Cost for a Time Period that Differs from the Data Period Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected:Month Labor Cost Employee HoursJanuary $7,300 410February 10,199 600March 8,440 720April 10,087 660May 8,790 530June 7,831 400July 9,790 620August 7,750 360Assume that this information was used to construct the following formula for monthly labor costs.Total Labor Cost = - $7,059 + ($1.92 X Employee Hours)Required:Assume that 3,900 employee hours are budgeted for the coming year. Use the total labor cost formula to make the following calculations:1. Calculate the total variable labor costs for the coming year.2. Calculate the total fixed labor costs for the coming year.3. Calculate total labor costs for the coming year.
Answer:
Total fixed costs= $7,059
Total variable cost= $7,488
Total cost= $14,547
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Labor Cost = -7,059 + ($1.92*Employee Hours)
Required:Assume that 3,900 employee hours are budgeted for the coming year.
The total fixed costs remain constant with production:
Total fixed costs= 7,059
Total variable cost= 1.92*3,900= 7,488
Total cost= $14,547
The Mini-Case "Pay-for-Delay Agreements" states that some incumbent producers of drugs with expiring patents paid potential generic producers to delay entry into the market. Why were incumbents willing to offer enough to potential entrants to make them delay entry? How will the 2013 Supreme Court decision allowing potential legal action against the companies affect this calculation? Incumbents were willing to offer enough to potential entrants to make them delay their entry to A. increase market competition. B. eventually deter entry completely. C. charge a monopoly price. D. produce generic drugs. E. lower fixed costs.
Answer: charge a monopoly price
Explanation:
Patents provide an exclusive right to the firm in the production and sale of a drug. This provides the firm exclusive market power to decide the price and the quantity and therefore the firm is able to charge a monopoly price and also earn monopoly profits.
When an existing patent expires and the generic producers enter the market, the price reduces due to an increase in the supply of the erstwhile patented drug. This will reduce the monopoly profit of incumbent producers. Therefore, they will seek to deter the entry of generic drug makers in order to safeguard their monopoly profits and price.
Therefore, incumbents were willing to give enough to potential entrants so as to make them delay entry to charge a monopoly price.
The effect of the 2013 Supreme Court decision allowing legal action against these companies is increase in the cost of pay-for-delay agreements and also reduce incumbent profits from these agreements.
Suppose that Karen deposits $500 into her checking account at the bank. The reserve requirement for Karen's bank is 12%. Assume the bank does not want to hold any excess reserves of new deposits.A. Use this information to complete the table below to show how the bank's assets and liabilities change when Karen deposits the $500.Assets LiabilitiesChange in reserves: Change in deposits:Change in loans: B. Why are deposits considered liabilities for a bank?a) Deposits must be kept as reserves at the Federal Reserve.b) Deposits can be withdrawn at any time.c) Deposits can be loaned out by the bank.d) Deposits pay interest to the owner.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
a.)
Assets Amount($) Liabilities Amount($)
Change in reserves ($500 ×12%) 60 Change in deposits 500
Change in loans ($500 - $60) 440
B) Customers can withdraw the amount of the money at any time from the bank whenever they have a need for money and at that time this is the liability of the bank to pay that amount to the customer which he wants from their savings. This is the reason that deposits are considered as liabilities for the bank. So option (b) is correct.
