Accounts receivables $34,000(+)
Revenue $34,000(+)
Cash $26,000(+)
Accounts receivables $26,000(-)
Bike equipment $19,000(+) Notes payable $19,000(+)
Cash $3,400(-)
Retained earnings $3,400(-)
The first transaction increases asset(account receivable) by $34,000 while revenue(stockholder's equity) increased by the same amount
The cash receipt of $26,000 increases assets cash by $26,000 and decreases an asset , account receivable by the same amount
The purchase of an asset by note payable increases asset, bike equipment by $19,000 while liabilities note payable also increases by $19,000
The payment of utilities for $3,400 decreases asset cash by $3,400 while stockholder's equity retained earnings decreases by same amount.
Michael's Machine Shop reports the following information for the quarter.
Sales price $70
Fixed costs (for the quarter)
Selling and administrative 47,620
Production 142,860
Variable cost (per unit)
Materials 18
Labor 15
Plant supervision 8
Selling and administrative 9
Number of units (for the quarter) 23,810 units
Required:
Select the answer for each of the following costs.
a) Variable cost per unit.
b) fixed cost amount
c) breakeven point
d) expected sales
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the variable cost per unit:
Variable cost per unit= Materials + Labor + Plant supervision + Selling and administrative
Variable cost per unit= 18 + 15 + 8 + 9
Variable cost per unit= $50
Now, the fixed cost:
Fixed costs= Selling and administrative + Production
Fixed costs= 47,620 + 142,860
Fixed costs= $190,480
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 190,480 / (70 -50)
Break-even point in units= 9,524
Finally, the expected sales:
expected sales= 23,810*70
expected sales= $1,666,700
A corporation can earn 7.5% if it invests in municipal bonds. The corporation can also earn 8.5% (before-tax) by investing in preferred stock. Assume that the two investments have equal risk. What is the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments
Answer:
39.22%
Explanation:
Calculation for the break-even corporate tax rate
Using this formula
Municipal yield = After-tax preferred yield
7.50% = BT preference return ´ [1 - (1 - Dividend exclusion %)(T)]
Let plug in the formula
7.50% = 8.50% ´ [1 - 30.00% ´ (T)]
88.24% = [1 - 30.00% ´ (T)]
Tax rate (T) = 39.22%
Therefore the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments is 39.22%
In its first month of operations, Wildhorse Co. made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 370 units at $6, (2) 470 units at $8, and (3) 570 units at $9. Assuming there are 270 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory under (a) the FIFO method and (b) the LIFO method. Wildhorse Co. uses a periodic inventory system. FIFO LIFO The Ending Inventory $Enter a dollar amount $Enter a dollar amount
Answer:
The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is $1,620
Explanation:
First determine the units sold
Units Sold = Total Purchases - Units in hand
= 1,410 units - 270 units
= 1,140
Note ; Wildhorse Co. uses a periodic inventory system. This means we calculate the cost at the end of the period.
FIFO
Means First in First Out
Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $9.00 = $2,430
LIFO
Means Last in First Out
Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $6.00 = $1,620
Conclusion
The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is $1,620

Blue Corporation manufactures drones. On December 31, 2019, it leased to Althaus Company a drone that had cost $156,000 to manufacture. The lease agreement covers the 5-year useful life of the drone and requires five equal annual rentals of $52,800 payable each December 31, beginning December 31, 2019. An interest rate of 6% is implicit in the lease agreement. Collectibility of the rentals is not probable. Prepare any journal entry for Blue on December 31, 2019. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Lease receivable = $235,757.58
Explanation:
Before the journal entries are prepared, the present value of the annual rentals or lease receivable is first calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity due since the annual rentals is payable each December 31, beginning December 31, 2019 as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) * (1 + r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value annual rentals or lease receivable = ?
P = Annual rentals = $52,800
r = Interest rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years the lease agreement covered = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $52,800 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^5) / 0.06) * (1 + 0.06)
PV = $235,757.58
The journal entries will now look as follows:
Date Account Tittle Debit ($) Credit ($)
31-Dec-19 Lease Receivable 235,757.58
Cost of Goods Sold 156,000.00
Sales Revenue 235,757.58

The management of Maltwo Co. asks your help in determining the comparative effects of the FIFO and LIFO inventory cost flow methods. For 2015, the accounting records show the following data. Inventory, January 1 (10,000 units) $ 37,000 Cost of 110,000 units purchased 479,000 Selling price of 90,000 units sold 720,000 Operating expenses 150,000 Units purchased consisted of 40,000 units at $4.20 on May 10; 50,000 units at $4.40 on August 15; and 20,000 units at $4.55 on November 20. Income taxes are 30%. Instructions: Prepare comparative condensed income statements for 2015 under FIFO and LIFO. (Show computations of ending inventory.) Answer the following questions for management. Which inventory cost flow method produces the most meaningful inventory amount for the balance sheet? Why? Which inventory cost flow method produces the most meaningful net income? Why? How muc
Answer:
Net income for Maltwo Co. is $132,300
Explanation:
FIFO
Sold 90,000 units
Cost of sold units =
opening 10,000 units for $3.7 = $37,000
purchased 40,000 units for $4.20 = $168,000
purchased 40,000 units for $4.4 = $176,000
Total cost of goods sold = $381,000
Sales = $720,000
less: cost of goods sold = $381,000
less: operating expenses = $150,000
Operating income = $189,000
less: Income tax 30% = $56,700
Net Income = $132,300
LIFO
Sold 90,000 units
Cost of sold units =
purchased 20,000 units for $4.55 = $91,000
purchased 50,000 units for $4.40 = $220,000
purchased 20,000 units for $4.20 = $84,000
Total cost of goods sold = $395,000
Sales = $720,000
less: cost of goods sold = $395,000
less: operating expenses = $150,000
Operating income = $175,000
less: Income tax 30% = $52,500
Net Income = $122,500
Most meaningful net income is calculated by FIFO because in most of the businesses goods purchased first are sold first and if not then the goods purchased the earliest cross its expiry date and eventually results in a loss for the company.
So the net income for Maltwo Co. is $132,300
Chamberlain Co. wants to issue new 17-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 12.2 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,434.96, make semiannual payments, and mature in 17 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par
Answer:
The company should set the coupon rate on its new bonds at current yield to maturity of 4.81% if it wants them to sell at par.
Explanation:
There is a need to first calculate the yield to maturity (YTM) using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * Number of semiannuals in a year = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)*2 .............(1)
Where;
YTM = yield to maturity = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannuals in a year = 17 * 2 = 14
pmt = semiannual coupon payment = face value * (annual coupon rate / number of semiannuals in a year) = 1000 * (12.2% / 2) = 61
pv = present value = current bond price = 1434.96
fv = face value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(14,61,-1434.96,1000)*2
Inputting =RATE(14,61,-1434.96,1000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 4.81%.
Therefore, the company should set the coupon rate on its new bonds at current yield to maturity of 4.81% if it wants them to sell at par.

Required: 1. Determine the estimated units of sales of the overall (total) product, E, necessary to reach the break-even point for the current year.
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 8,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Laptops $1,000 $500 40%
Tablets 600 300 60%
Fixed costs= $3,192,000
To calculate the break-even point for the whole company, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin= (0.4*1.000 + 0.6*600) - (0.4*500 + 0.6*300)

The typical firm in a perfectly competitive market earns zero economic profit in the long run because: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a firms in competitive markets tend to focus on revenue rather than profit. b U.S. law is designed so that taxes on earnings will eliminate profits. c there are no barriers preventing new firms from entering the market in the long run. d it is illegal for firms in a market that is comprised of many firms to continue to earn positive economic profit.
Answer:
c. there are no barriers preventing new firms from entering the market in the long run.
Explanation:
In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.
This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.
In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.
However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.
In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P=MR=MC and P=AC.
Therefore, a typical firm in a perfectly competitive market earns zero economic in the long run because there are no barriers preventing new firms from entering the market in the long run.

ABC Incorporated has operating income before interest and taxes in 2020 of $199.2 million. The firm is expected to generate this level of operating income indefinitely. The firm had depreciation expense of 10 million that same year. Capital spending totaled 20 million during 2020. At the end of 2019 and 2020, working capital totaled 70 and 80 million, respectively. The firm's combined marginal state, local, and federal tax rate was 30% and its debt outstanding had a market value of 1.2 billion. The 10 year Treasury bond rate is 2% and the borrowing rate for companies exhibiting levels of creditworthiness similar to ABC is 5%. The historical risk premium for stocks over the risk free rate of return is 5.5%. ABC's beta was estimated to be 1.0. The firm has 2,500,000 common shares outstanding at the end of 2020. ABC's target debt to total capital ratio is 30%.
1. The free cash flow to the firm in 2020 (in million).
2. The WACC is (in percentage).
3. The firm value is million.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Free cash flow
= EBIT × (1 - tax rate) + depreciation expense - capital expenditure - change in net working capital
= $199.2 × (1 - 0.30) + $10 - $20 - ($80 - $70)
= $119.44
2. The WACC is
But before that following calculations need to be done
Cost of equity = (2 + 1 × 5.5)
= 7.50%
The cost of debt is 5%
The debt to total capital ratio is 30%
The equity to total capital ratio is (100 - 0.30) = 0.70
Tax rate is 30%
Now
WACC is
= (7.5 × 0.7 + 5 × 0.3 × (1 - 0.3))
= 6.30%
3. The firm value is
= $119.44 ÷ 0.063
= $1,895.87 million
The City of Lora issued $5,000,000 of general government, general obligation, 8%, 20-year bonds at 103 on April 1, 2017 20X7, to finance a major general government capital project. Interest is payable semiannually on each October 1 and April 1 during the term of the bonds. In addition, $250,000 of principal matures each April 1. If Lora's fiscal year-end is December 31, what amount of debt service expenditures should be reported for this DSF for the 20X7 fiscal year
Answer:
$200,000
Explanation:
The value of the government obligation = $5,00,000, 8%, 20 years bonds payable at 103
Interest expenses = $5,000,000 * 8/100 * 6/12 = $200,000.
Thus, $200,000 will be reported as debt service expenses in the fiscal year 20X7.
Bauer Manufacturing uses departmental cost driver rates to allocate manufacturing overhead costs to proudcts. Mnaufacturing overhead costs are allocated on the the bases of Macine hours in the Machining Department on the bases of direct labor hours. In the Assembly Department. At the beginning of 2018, the following estimates were provided for the coming year:
Machining Assembly
Direct labor - hours 40,000 40,000
Machine - hours 50,000 20,000
Direct labor costs $500,000 $900,000
Manufacturing overhead costs $280,000 $360,000
The accounting records of the company show the following data for Job #316
Machine Assembly
Direct labor - hours 120 65
Machine - hours 50 5
Direct material cost $425 $175
Direct labor cost $275 $300
WHat are the total manufacturing costs for Job #316
Which of the following are correct? (Please show ALL calculations)
A. $2,040
B. $1,960
C. $1,175
D. $1,440
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost = direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost
Where
Direct material cost = Machining direct material cost + assembly direct material cost
= $425 + $175
= $600
The direct labor cost = Machining direct labor cost + Assembly direct labor cost
= $275 + $300
= $575
The machining overhead cost = Manufacturing overhead costs / Machine hours
= $280,000 / 50,000
= $5.6
So, cost = $5.6 × 50 = $280
Assembly overhead cost = Manufacturing overhead costs / direct labor hours
= $360,000 / 20,000
= $18
So, the cost = $18 × 65 = $1,170
= $600 + $575 + $280 + $1,170
= $2,625
