Answer:
1. The 401k plan allows him to use pre-tax dollars to invest for his retirement.
Explanation:
A 401k plan allows an individual to save money for retirement without paying income taxes for each contribution that he/she makes to the retirement plan. The individual will pay income taxes only after he/she retires and starts withdrawing out of the 401k plan (it is a tax deferred account). Employer's matching of 401k contributions are also taxed once you start withdrawing money. The tax free contributions allow the 401k account to grow faster and earn more money.
Pharoah Corporation purchased 29000 shares of common stock of the Sherman Corporation for $44 per share on January 2, 2020. Sherman Corporation had 100000 shares of common stock outstanding during 2021, paid cash dividends of $154000 during 2021, and reported net income of $540000 for 2021. Pharoah Corporation should report revenue from investment for 2021 in the amount of _______.
Answer:
$201,260
Explanation:
Total number of shares purchased for Sherman corporation is 29,000 at the rate of $44 each
Outstanding number of shares for Sherman corporation is 100,000
Therefore, the amount of investment is calculated by dividing the total number of shares by the outstanding number of shares
= 29,000/100,000
=0.29 × 100
= 29%
Amount of dividend in Sherman corporation is $154,000
Net income of Sherman corporation is $540,000
The total revenue generated by Pharoah corporation is
= 29/100 × ($154,000+$540,000)
= 0.29 × 694000
= $201,260
Thus,Pharaoh Corporation should report revenue from investment for 2021 in the amount of $201,260
Answer:
Pharoah Corporation should report revenue from investment for 2021 in the amount of $156,600
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount Pharoah Corporation should report revenue from investment for 2021 we would have to use the following formula:
Pharoah Corporation's revenue from investment =reported net income*Pharoah Corporation's share in Sherman
Pharoah Corporation's share in Sherman = 29,000 / 100,000 = 29%
Therefore, Pharoah Corporation's revenue from investment =$540,000 * 29%
Pharoah Corporation's revenue from investment = $156,600
Pharoah Corporation should report revenue from investment for 2021 in the amount of $156,600

The entry to close the Income Summary account at the end of the year, after revenue and expense accounts have been closed is:
Debit Income Summary Account $63,300
Credit Retained Earnings $63,300
To close the income summary account.
Explanation:
a) Closing entries are made to close the temporary (Income Summary) accounts so that only the permanent (balance sheet) accounts remain. Temporary accounts are period accounts whose balances are taken to the income summary account. They are not carried over to the next accounting period, except the net financial performance result, known as the net income, which adjusts the Retained Earnings.
The Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $11,485,000 with 176,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $7,979,000 and the actual machine hours are 89,000 hours. If the Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is Round the factory overhead rate to the nearest dollar before multiplying by the number of hours. a.$3,071,600 underapplied b.$2,194,000 overapplied c.$3,071,600 overapplied d.$2,194,000 underapplied
Answer:
Under/over applied overhead= $2,171,244 underallocated
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated total overhead= $11,485,000
Estimated machine hours= 176,000
Year to date, the actual overhead is $7,979,000 and the actual machine hours are 89,000 hours.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 11,485,000/176,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $65.25568 per machine-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 65.25568*89,000= $5,807,756
Finally, we determine the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 7,979,000 - 5,807,756= $2,171,244 underallocated
Chuck, a single taxpayer, earns $69,000 in taxable income and $27,100 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin bonds. (Use the U.S tax rate schedule.) Required: How much federal tax will he owe
Answer: $10,970
Explanation:
I have attached the US Tax rate Schedule to this question.
Note that the Interest Earned from the investment are Tax Free because it is from an Municipal bond and those are tax free.
The only figure to calculate tax on is therefore the income of $69,000.
According to the Schedule. If an individual makes between $40,126 and $85,525, they are to pay $4,617.50 plus 22% of the income over $40,125.
That means then that Chuck's tax rate is,
= 4,617.50 + 22% * ( 69,000 - 40,125)
= 4,617.50 + 22% * 28,875
= $10,970
He owes $10,970 in Federal Taxes

Assume the spot rate on the Canadian dollar is C$1.1847. The risk-free nominal rate in the U.S. is 5 percent while it is only 4 percent in Canada. What one-year forward rate will create interest rate parity?
Answer:
C$1.1734
Explanation:
Interest rate parity refers to the relationship between interest rates and the value of currencies. In order to achieve interest rate parity, the hedged returns from investing in Canadian or US dollars should be the same in one year.
Forward rate / spot rate = (1 + risk free rate Canada) / (1 + risk free rate US)
Forward rate / C$1.1847 = 1.04 / 1.05 = 0.9905
Forward rate = 0.9905 x C$1.1847 = C$1.1734
Model, Inc., produces model automobiles made from metal. It operates two production departments, Molding and Painting, and has three service departments, Administration, Accounting, and Maintenance. The accumulated costs in the three service departments were $269,000, $402,000, and $199,000, respectively. Management is concerned that the costs of its service departments are getting too high. In particular, managers would like to keep the costs of service departments under $3.50 per unit on average. You have been asked to allocate service department costs to the two production departments and compute the unit costs.
The company decided that Administration costs should be allocated on the basis of square footage used by each production and service department. Accounting costs are allocated on the basis of number of employees. Maintenance costs are allocated on the basis of the dollar value of the equipment in each department. The use of each base by all departments during the current period follows:

First we find the activity rates for each cost using total cost driver except self usage
1) Maintenance $ 199,000
Equipment Value= 177 + 236+ 118+ 59= 590 ( in thousands) ( all but maintenance itself )
Maintenance per equipment = 199,000/590,000= 0.3373 per equipment
2) Accounting,= $402,000,
Employees=44 + 22 + 66 + 88 = 220
Accounting per Employee= $402,000,/220= 1827.27 per Employee
3) Administration= $269,000
Building area =63,000 +69,300 +441,000+ 56,700= 630,000
Administration per square footage= 269,000/ 630,000= 0.4269= 0.43 per square
Then we multiply the rates to find the service costs allocated.

Consider a firm's short-run cost curves. If average total cost is increasing as output rises, then
Select one:
a. total fixed costs must be increasing
b. average variable cost must be increasing,
c. marginal cost must be below average total cost.
d. average fixed costs must be increasing.
e, average total cost is no longer equal to the sum of average variable cost and average fixed cost.
Option (a) total fixed costs must be increasing if the average total cost is increasing as output rises.
What happens to the average fixed cost when production increases in the short term?In the short term, as a company's output increases, its average fixed cost decreases. Fixed costs remain the same regardless of the number of products produced. As performance improves, the fixed cost contribution per unit decreases.
On the short-term curve, much of the initial downslope is due to lower average fixed costs. Increasing the variable input return at low output levels also plays a role, but the slope is due to the decreasing limit variable input return.

Answer:
Find attached schedule.
Explanation:
The bond amortization schedule is hereby attached,the balance of $1 left after 4 years is due to rounding error,since the loan is meant to have been paid in its entirety,hence zero balance should be left.
The repayment of $19,625 is usually divided into two the interest which is the 8% of the loan beginning while the balance after having deducted interest is used to reduce the principal.
On January 1, Year 1, the Timble Corporation (Timble) leases a piece of typical equipment to use for eight years. The equipment has an expected life of ten years and no anticipated salvage value. Timble has an incremental borrowing rate of 5%. Annual payments for this asset are $9,000 with the first payment to be made immediately. At the end of the eight years, Timble has the right to buy the asset for $10,000 in cash. This amount is expected to be significantly below the expected fair value of the equipment on that date so it is reasonable to expect Timble to pay this amount. Timble records depreciation based on the straight-line method and interest based on the effective rate method. The present value of an annuity due of $1 at 5% for eight years is assumed to be 6.80. The present value of an ordinary annuity of $1 at 5% for eight years is assumed to be 6.50. The present value of a single amount of $1 at 5% in eight years is assumed to be 0.66. What amount of depreciation expense should Timble record for Year 1
Answer: $6780
Explanation:
Asset recorded in books of timble will be:
= (PVAF at 5%, 8 × Annual CF) + (PVAF at 5%,8 × salvage)
where CF = cash flow
PVAF = present value of annuity factor
= (6.80 × 9000 ) +(0.66 × 10000)
= 61200+ 6600
= $ 67800
Since the equipment has an expected life of ten years with no anticipated salvage value, then the depreciation will be:
Depreciation = 67800 ÷ 10
= $ 6780

At the beginning of 2021, Brad's Heating & Air (BHA) has a balance of $25,900 in accounts receivable. Because BHA is a privately owned company, the company has used only the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts. However, at the end of 2021, BHA wishes to obtain a loan at the local bank, which requires the preparation of proper financial statements. This means that BHA now will need to use the allowance method. The following transactions occur during 2021 and 2022.
1. During 2021, install air conditioning systems on account, $189,000.
2. During 2021, collect $184,000 from customers on account.
3. At the end of 2021, estimate that uncollectible accounts total 20% of ending accounts receivable.
4. In 2022, customers' accounts totaling $7,900 are written off as uncollectible.

Here we debited the cash as it increased the assets and we credited accounts receivable as it decreased the assets
c. Bad debt expenses Dr, $6,180
To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,180
(Being estimated uncollectible accounts is recorded)
Here we debited the bad debt expenses as it increased the expense and we credited the allowance for uncollectible accounts as it decreased the asset
Working note
Uncollectible accounts = (Total account - Cash collected) × 20%
= ($25,900 + $189,000) - $184,000 × 20%
= $30,900 × 20%
= $6,180
d. Allowance for uncollectible accounts Dr, $7,900

Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, Inc., the Vermont-based manufacturer of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet, was known for having a rule that the compensation for the highest paid employee (i.e., the CEO) could not be more than seven times the pay of the lowest paid employee. Applying Hofstede’s model of cultural influence, which of the five cultural dimensions is most closely related to this rule?
Answer:
Five Cultural Dimension are discussed as under:
Explanation:
Geert Hofstede's five cultural dimensions standard is used for understanding cultural differences and highly valued because it provides the understanding of the culture of a particular market and these are as under:
Number 1. Power Distance
The Power Distance talks about how much inequality is accepted in the culture by the dominant players of the society. The way the society handles the issues tells about how they handle inequalities.
Number 2. Individualism versus collectivism
The individualism dimension is talks about how much an individual interest are important as opposed to the group interests. The higher value of individual as opposed to the group interest is Individualism and lower value of individual as opposed to the group interest is Collectivism. It basically represents how much the individual values the interest of a group when these interest are in conflict with their interest. Similarly it also tells how much the group values the interest of an individual when these interest are in conflict with their interest.
Number 3. Masculinity
The masculinity dimension is all about the things and values in a culture that are considered very important and has greater influence of masculine side. The dimension basically considers the preference of values in the society which includes social work, heroism, Patriotism, etc.
Number 4. Uncertainty Avoidance
The uncertain avoidance dimension tells about the risks and uncertainty that the dominant players of the society considers in policy reforms and are concerned with the issues mitigation.
Number 5. Indulgence
The indulgence dimension means how much an individual or the society as a whole are are capable to control their desires and impulses. This also means how much their desires are valuable than others and how they are going to achieve it in practical life.

Compuvac Company has just completed its first pass forecast using the projected balance sheet method. need a total of 13,050,00 The firm has determined that it needs $4 million in new debt which can be sold at par with a 10% annual coupon. Additionally, the firm will sell 500,000 shares of new common equity at $18.10 per share. Next year's expected dividend is $0.24 per share. 40% tax rate. Given this information, what is the incremental change in AFN for Compuvac going from the first pass to the second pass?
Answer:
Incremental change in AFB would be $ 480,000
Explanation:
(a) Debt = $ 4,000,000
Interest on debt = 10%
Therefore, Interest outgo on debt = 10% of Debt
=10% of $4,000,000
=$ 400,000
(b) Dividend payable = $0.48 per share(given)
No of shares = 500,000 (given)
Therefore, Outgo on account of dividend = $ 0.48 /share * no of shares
=$0.48 * 500,000
=$240,000
(c) Given, that tax in second would be $160,000 lesser. i.e., outgo would actually be lesser to that extent
Therefore, incremental AFN = (a)+(b)-(c) = $ 400,000 + $ 240,000 - $160,000 = $480,000
Incremental change in AFB would be $480,000
Module 2 Assignment By using 2-dimension graphs (in MS WORD) for PRICE and QUANTITY, demonstrate the effect that each of the following will have on the demand for gasoline in a competitive market? State what happens to demand. Explain your reasoning in each case and relate it to a demand determinant. If you are not able to use MS-WORD, just draw on a piece of paper, take a picture, and submit it as a PDF file. If you cannot use MS Word tools, just use your pen and paper and upload images or screenshots. (a) an increase in the number of cars (25 points) (b) the economy moves into a recession (25 points) (c) an increase in the price of car insurance, taxes, maintenance (25 points) (d) consumer expectations of substantial price increases in gasoline (25 points) Total == 100 points.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
a. An increase in the number of cars will lead to an increase in demand as more people will demand for gasoline. This will lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve from D1 to D2. The increase in demand will also lead to the rise in price of gasoline from P1 to P2.
b. When the economy moves into a recession, people will purchase less cars because of the recession, as the income level of the consumers will have fallen. Due to the decrease in the number of cars, the demand for gasoline also reduces. This is denoted by the leftward shift in the demand curve in the attached diagram from D1 to D2.
c. The increase in the price of car insurance, taxes, maintenance will also lead to a reduction in the demand for cars which will in turn, reduce the demand for gasoline. Thereby the demand curve shifts from from D1 to D2 leftward.
d. The expectations of substantial increase in the price of gasoline, will lead to a higher demand for gasoline in the present period because due to the expectation of a higher price, the consumers will go and buy more gasoline and keep for future use. As the demand for gasoline rises, this will lead to the demand curve for gasoline to shift rightward and also the price will increase from P1 to P2.
The diagram has also been attached.

Bramble's Bakery makes a variety of home-style cookies for upscale restaurants in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The company's best-selling cookie is the double chocolate almond supreme. Bramble's recipe requires 10 ounces of a commercial cookie mix, 5 ounces of milk chocolate, and 1 ounce of almonds per pound of cookies. The standard direct materials costs are $0.80 per pound of cookie mix, $6 per pound of milk chocolate, and $18 per pound of almonds. Each pound of cookies requires 1 minute of direct labor in the mixing department and 7 minutes of direct labor in the baking department. The standard labor rates in those departments are $12.70 per direct labor hour (DLH) and $19 per DLH, respectively. Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $35.80 per DLH; fixed overhead is applied at a rate of $60 per DLH.

Explanation:
Calculate the standard cost for a pound of Mama Fran's double chocolate almond supreme cookies.
1. Standard Material Cost (Ratio Denominator = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16)
Std. Mat Cost = 10 Ounces /16 * $0.80 + 5 Ounces /16* $6 + 1/16* $18
Standard Material Cost = $3.5 per Double chocolate almond supreme
2. Standard Direct Labor Cost
Std. Labor Cost = 1 /60 Hours * $12.7 per Hour + 7/60 Hour * $19 per Hour
Std. Labor Cost = $2.4283 per Double chocolate almond supreme
3. Standard Variable Overhead Cost
Std. Variable OH. Cost = 6/60 Hours * $35.8
Standard Variable overhead cost = $3.58 per Double chocolate almond supreme
4. Standard Fixed Overhead Cost
Std. Fixed Overhead per cake = 6/60 Hours * $60 per Hour
Standard Fixed overhead cost = $6 per Double chocolate almond supreme
Now Standard cost for a pound is calculated as under:
Standard cost for a pound = 2.9375 + 2.4617 + 3.70 + 6
Standard cost for a pound = $15.51 per Double chocolate almond supreme

8. Executive Jet = Fixed, Period
9. Lumber = Variable, Product (Direct Cost)
10. Depreciation on Factory Tools (Straight-Line) = Fixed, Product (Indirect Cost)
Explanation:
Product versus Period Cost.
A product cost is attached to the cost object and is included in the valuation of the cost object.All manufacturing costs are product costs.
Period costs are not attached to the products. Non-manufacturing costs are Period costs.
Fixed versus Variable.
Behavior of costs in relationship with Activity will tell us whether a cost is a Fixed cost or Variable Cost.
Fixed Costs remain the same for any level of activity, whilst variable costs vary in direct proportion to with the level of activity.
Direct versus Indirect.
By observation of the cost object, we are able to identify is a cost is a direct cost or indirect cost.
Direct costs can be easily traced on the cost object. Indirect costs are difficult to trace on the cost object.
Suppose that Paolo, an economist from a university in Arizona, and Sharon, an economist from a university in Massachusetts, are arguing over government bailouts. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Sharon: Thanks to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days.
Paolo: Indeed, it's gotten crazy! A government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets.
Sharon: I don't know about that. Without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _____________________. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials
b. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
c. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Answer: 1. Differences in scientific judgements.
2. c. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Explanation:
1. Economists tend to have very varying opinions and this is a well known fact. So much so that even former President Ronald Reagan made jokes about their difference in opinions.
The two Economists in the scenario above, Paolo and Sharon both seem to disagree with each other because they believe that bailouts affect the Economy in different ways. This is most likely due to the scientific judgement that they reached after researching or thinking about the problem from different angles.
2. Despite the differences that Economists have with each other, it is a general belief that Tariffs and Quotas and indeed any hindrance to free trade between countries reduces economic welfare. In the case of Tariffs and Quotas, that reduction in welfare is called a Deadweight loss. You would be hard pressed to find an Economist that supports Quotas and Tariffs.
On January 1, 2013, US Manufacturing purchased a machine for $ 830,000. The company expected the machine to remain useful for ten years and to have a residual value of $ 60,000. US Manufacturing uses the straight-line method to depreciate its machinery. US Manufacturing used the machine for six years and sold it on January 1, 2018, for $ 300,000.1. Compute accumulated depreciation on machine on January 1, 2018.2. Record the sale of the machinery on January 1,2018.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation and the journal entry is shown below:
1. For accumulated depreciation, first we have to find out the depreciation expense using the straight line method
= (Original cost - salvage value) ÷ (Useful life)
= ($830,000 - $60,000) ÷ (10 years)
= $77,000
Now the accumulated depreciation for 5 years is
= $77,000 × 5 years
= $385,000
2. Now the journal entry is
Cash $300,000
Loss on sale or disposal $145,000
Accumulated Depreciation - Machine equipment $385,000
To Machine equipment $830,000
(Being the sale of the machinery is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash, loss and accumulated depreciation as it increased the assets, losses, and the accumulated depreciation balance and credited the machine equipment as it decreased the assets

Fredrick works for Vision, a billboard advertising agency, which hires billboards from owners on behalf of clients.

Which statement is Fredrick most probably utilizing to rationalize his actions?
a. "It's not really illegal."
b. "It's in everyone's best interests."
c. "No one will ever know about it."
d. "The organization will stand behind me."
e. "I cannot be held responsible."
Answer:
B. It is in everyone's best interests
Explanation:
Fredrick works for Vision, a billboard advertising agency. This agency specializes in hiring billboards from owners on behalf of clients. Simply put, Vision, an advertising agency, matches the need of its clients with the provision of billboards obtained from owners of such.
Fredrick works for the firm, and the implication is that, he's an agent of the agency firm, and the advertising firm is the Principal. The action of Fredrick routinely accepting pay-offs from the billboards owners contravenes this arrangement. Fredrick is thus acting parallel in line with his Principal.
It is thus worthy of note that Fredrick could only rationalize this action because he believes he is servicing the needs of the advertising agency and also the billboards owners. In his wisdom, everyone's objective is being made, bar the moral implications and obligations.
So, among the options enlisted, option B is the plausible answer.
