Answer:
(B) At least $355 but less than $380
Explanation:
i. Claim payments to be made
$1000 to be paid after one year of the policy
So, Present value of $1000 at 8% semi-annually = $1000/(1.04^2)) = $924.56
10% of this policy is paid = $924.56*10%= $92.46
ii. Claim payments to be made
$10000 after 3 years
So, present value= $10000/(1+0.08/2)^6 =$10000/1.046 = $7,903.14
3% of this policy claim are payable after 3 years= $7903.14* 3% = $237.09
iii. Administration expenses = $20
$10 on the effective date
$10 after 6 months
So, present value of $10 after 6 months= $10/(1.04)= $9.62
Total present value of expenses to be made by the company = $92.46 + $237.09 + $10 + $9.62 = $349.17
As the present value of the premium is set equal to the present value of the claim payments and expenses. Then, the present value of the premium is equals to $349.17.
The actual cost of the premium paid in 6 months = $349.17*1.04 = $363.14. So the option B is correct.
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
A company's income statement showed the following: net income, $130,000; depreciation expense, $38,000; and gain on sale of plant assets, $12,000. An examination of the company's current assets and current liabilities showed the following changes accounts receivable decreased $11,000; merchandise inventory increased $26,000; prepaid expenses increased $7,800; accounts payable increased $5,000. Calculate the net cash provided or used by operating activities.
Answer:
$138,200
Explanation:
Calculation the net cash provided or used by operating activities.
Net income $130,000
Depreciation $38,000
Gain on sale long-term asset ($12,000)
Account Receivable decreased $11,000
Inventory Increased ($26,000)
Prepaid Expenses Increased ($7,800)
Account Payable Increased $5,000
Net cash provided by operating activities $138,200
Therefore net cash provided or used by operating activities is $138,200
The export business in China is growing. Uncle George, who has just returned from a trade expo in Shanghai, has informed you that the port authority of Ningbo expects the demand to reach the same level as Shanghai. The port authority of Ningbo is now deciding how to change its system to accommodate this surge in demand. They have two options, (a) to retire their existing x-ray machine and buy an x-ray machine similar to the one used by the Shanghai port, or (b) to buy another x-ray machine similar to the one they already own and therefore operate the system with two similar machines. Both the options will cost the port authority of Ningbo the same. Purely from the perspective of reducing lead-time, is (a) or (b) better for you? Please show your detailed analysis.
Answer:
Assuming that the capacity of the new X-ray machine is the same as the capacity of two older machines, the difference results from the number of units waiting in line (queue). You would need two different groups of workers to move the containers into the correct position if you use the two older machines, while you need only one group to move them to the new machine. This decreases lead time since coordinating work also requires time, it might be a short time, but it is more time at the end of the day.
The following transactions occur for Badger Biking Company during the month of June: a. Provide services to customers on account for $34,000. b. Receive cash of $26,000 from customers in (a) above. c. Purchase bike equipment by signing a note with the bank for $19,000. d. Pay utilities of $3,400 for the current month. Analyze each transaction and indicate the amount of increases and decreases in the accounting equation. (Decreases to account classifications should be entered as a negative.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Assets =
Liabilities + Stockholder's equity
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.

Tommy's parents died in a plane crash and he went to live with his guardian, Aunt Rose. Rose had a very small house and did not have a separate bedroom and bath for 12-year-old Tommy. She and Tommy decided to use some of his inheritance to pay for an addition to the house. He had some shares of stock transferred into Rose's name so that she could sell them when the money was due to be paid. The stock transfers are:
Answer:
presumed voidable unless Rose can show no unfair advantage was taken.
Explanation:
In the given scenario Tommy had some shares of stock transferred into Rose's name so that she could sell them when the money was due to be paid for the addition to the house.
However Tommy is a minor living with his guardian Aunt Rose.
She may have an unfair influence over him that will force him to make the share transfers.
Considering this the transfer of shares can be viewed as voidable until she proves she did not use the unfair advantage of being a guardian to push the transaction through
Given the following historical demand and forecast, calculate the Mean Absolute Percentage Error: Week 1 Demand: 50 Forecast: 49 Week 2 Demand: 54 Forecast: 50 Week 3 Demand: 58 Forecast: 63
FE = D-F n FE RSFE RSFE = 27=1 FE; MFE = n n (FE;) 21-1|FEil MSE = MAD = n n FE; 2i=1 =FE TS = RSFE MAPE n MAD MAD about 6.0%
A. about 2.0%
B. about 18.0%
C. about 4.3%
D. about 1.00%
Answer:
A. about 2.0%
Explanation:
The forecasted error for week 1 is 1%. The demand for week 1 is 50 while estimated demand or forecast was 49. The difference between the two values is 1. The forecasted demand for week 2 is 50 while actual demand for week 2 is 54. The difference between the forecast and actual value is 4. The difference in week 3 is 5. Mean absolute deviation is 6% which means there can be 6% standard deviation from the forecasted values.
The error in Mean Absolute Percentage would be as follows:
A). about 2.0%
What is the Mean Absolute Percentage?
Given that,
Week 1
The error in the forecast = 1%
Demand = 50
Forecasted demand = 49
The difference in the estimated demand and actual demand = 50 -49 = 1
Week 3
The error in the forecast = 1%
Demand = 58
Forecasted demand = 63
The difference in the estimated demand and actual demand = 63 - 58 = 5
Also,
Mean deviation [tex]= 6%[/tex]%
This implies that the standard deviation in the three values is of [tex]6[/tex]%.
∵ 2% is the error
Thus, option A is the correct answer.

A pump has failed in a facility that will be completely replaced in 3 years. A brass pump costing $6000 installed will last 3 years. However, a used stainless steel pump that should last 3 more years has been sitting in the maintenance shop for a year. The pump cost $13,000 new. The accountants say the pump is worth $7000 now. The maintenance supervisor says that it will cost an extra $500 to reconfigure the pump for the new use and that he could sell it used (as is) for $4000.
(a) What is the book cost of the stainless steel pump?
(b) What is the opportunity cost of the stainless steel pump?
(c) How much cheaper or more expensive would it be to use the stainless steel pump rather than a new brass pump?
a. $1500 cheaper
b. $1500 more expensive
c. $7500 cheaper
d. $7500 more expensive
Answer:
A. $7,000
B. $4,000
Explanation:
(a) Based on the information given the book cost of the stainless steel pump will be $7,000 reason been that we were told that the pump is worth the amount of $7,000 now.
(B) Based on the information given the opportunity cost of the stainless steel pump will be $4,000 reason been that we were told that the pump future Salvage worth in which the pump could likely be sold is $4,000
(c) Calculation for How much cheaper or more expensive would it be to use the stainless steel pump rather than a new brass pump
Based on the information given to make use of a new brass pump will cost the amount of $6,000 and in a situation where the stainless steel pump is been use the total value will be the pump present value of the amount of $7,000 in addition with the value to reconfigure the pump of the amount of $500 which indicate that the stainless steel pump is more expensive Calculated as:
More expensive=($7,000+$500)-$6,000
More expensive=$7,500-$6,000
More expensive=$1,500
Therefore the stainless steel pump is MORE EXPENSIVE with the amount of $ 1500 more expensive than the new brass pump.
Data related to the expected sales of laptops and tablets for Tech Products Inc. for the current year, which is typical of recent years, are as follows: Products Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Cost Sales Mix Laptops $1,000 $500 40% Tablets 600 300 60% The estimated fixed costs for the current year are $3,192,000. 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)
Weighted average contribution margin= $380
Break-even point (units)= 3,192,000 / 380
Break-even point (units)= 8,400
Vic, who was experiencing financial difficulties, was able to adjust his debts as follows:
a. Vic is an attorney. Vic owed his uncle $25,000. The uncle told Vic that if he serves as the executor of the uncle's estate, Vic's debt will be canceled in the uncle's will.
The $25,000 debt cancellation is Vic's gross income when the uncle dies.
b. Vic borrowed $80,000 from First Bank. The debt was secured by land that Vic purchased for $100,000. Vic was unable to pay, and the bank foreclosed when the liability was $80,000, which was also the fair market value of the property.
Vic has a $ gain as a result of the foreclosure.
c. The Land Company, which had sold land to Vic for $80,000, reduced the mortgage on the land by $12,000.
The $12,000 reduction in the debt is Vic's gross income because the debt reduction was made by the seller of the property.

Whitewater Wine Foundation expects 125,000 attendees at their May festival. Wine-tasters pay a $10 entrance fee which includes a tasting glass and wine-tasting wristband. Designated drivers pay a $5 entrance fee and receive a ticket for one non-alcoholic drink. Of the attendees, 10% are expected to be designated drivers. Costs to the festival are $.25 for wristbands, $.90 for tasting glasses and $.15 for non-alcoholic drinks. All drink tickets are expected to be used. What is the total purchases budget for the May festival
Answer:
Total purchase budget= $134,375
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the number of wristbands, tasting glasses, and non-alcoholic drinks glasses.
Wristbands= one per attendant= 125,000
Tasting glasses= 125,000*0.90= 112,500
Non-alcoholic drinks glasses= 125,000*0.10= 12,500
Now, the total purchase budget:
Purchases:
Wristbands= 125,000*0.25= 31,250
Tasting glasses= 112,500*0.9= 101,250
Non-alcoholic drinks glasses= 12,500*0.15= 1,875
Total purchase budget= $134,375
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.

Explanation:
Pina Corp. enters into a contract with a customer to build an apartment building for $921,300. The customer hopes to rent apartments at the beginning of the school year and provides a performance bonus of $156,000 to be paid if the building is ready for rental beginning August 1, 2021. The bonus is reduced by $52,000 each week that completion is delayed. Pina commonly includes these completion bonuses in its contracts and, based on prior experience, estimates the following completion outcomes: Determine the transaction price for the contract, assuming Pina has limited information with which to develop a reliable estimate of completion by the August 1, 2021, deadline.
Question Completion:
Completed by August 1, 2021 August 8, 2021 August 15, 2021 After August 15, 2021 Probability 70 % 20 6 4.
Answer:
Pina Corp.
The transaction price for the contract, assuming Pina has limited information with which to develop a reliable estimate of completion by the August 1, 2021, deadline is:
= $921,300.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Completed by Probability
August 1, 2021 70%
August 8, 2021 20%
August 15, 2021 6%
After August 15, 2021 4%
Total = 100%
Contract price = $921,300
Performance bonus = $156,000
Expected completion date = August 1, 2021
Reduction of bonus per week if completion is delayed = $52,000
After August 15 (three weeks of non-completion), there is no performance bonus because it would have been reduced to $0 ($156,000/$52,000 = 3 weeks).

Mrs. Williams finds that she has two options for investing $32,000.02 for fifteen years. The first option is to deposit the $32,000.02 into a fund earning a nominal rate of discount d(4) payable quarterly. The second option is to purchase an annuity-immediate with 15 level annual payments, the annuity payments computed using an annual effective rate of 7%, and then when she gets an annuity payment, to immediately invest it into a fund earning an annual effective rate of 5%. Mrs. Williams calculates that the second option produces an accumulated value that is $1,500 more than the accumulated value yielded by the first option. Calculate d(4).

Explanation:
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

(To record the lease.)
31-Dec-19 Cash 52,800.00
Lease Receivable 52,800.00
(To record the receipt of lease payment.)
World trade benefits from free and fair trade among nations. Nevertheless, governments of many countries continue to practice protectionism. While protectionism earns profits for domestic producers and tariff revenues for governments, consumers pay higher prices because of protective restrictions. Imposing tariffs increases the price of goods to consumers. Removing tariffs decreases the price of goods to consumers. Imposing quotas limits supply and therefore increases the price of goods to consumers. Removing quotas makes products more available and therefore decreases the price of goods to consumers.
Answer:
Economic effects of imposing a tariff is that it will increase the prices for the goods and consumers will have to pay more for certain good.
Explanation:
Many countries promote trade without tariff so that they can benefit the consumers of their country, but this is only possible if both countries have good relations. Many countries are governed by World trade organizations in order to govern the trade policies. The countries can flourish their trade if they have minimum tariffs and trade policies. Imposition of higher tariff will create burden on consumers of a country.

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.
The president of the Micro Brewing Corporation asks you, as the company economist, to forecast changes in consumer beer purchases associated with a proposed price change. You conduct a survey and find that if the price of a six-pack increases from $5.50 to $7.50, the quantity demanded will decrease from 2200 units to 1800 units a month. Should the Micro Brewing Corporation raise its price? Explain the economic basis for this recommendation to the president
Answer:
It is more profitable to raise the selling price by $2.
Explanation:
To determine whether the company should raise the selling price, we need to determine the effect on income. The best option is the one with the higher sales revenue.
Sales revenue= selling price * number of units
Current:
Sales revenue= 5.5*2,200= $12,100
Proposal:
Sales revenue= 7.5*1,800= $13,500
It is more profitable to raise the selling price by $2.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $3,600. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 170 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $18.
Answer:
the questions seems to be incomplete, so I looked for similar ones:
the total benefit of the project is estimated at $18 x 170 = $3,060
the result is probably lower than expected because:
this is an nonexcludable good, and it is nonrival in consumptionthe free rider problem occurs herecollege administrators should not carry out the project id they only base their decision on expected benefitExplanation:

Naranjo Company designs industrial prototypes for outside companies. Budgeted overhead for the year was $345,000, and budgeted direct labor hours were 23,000. The average wage rate for direct labor is expected to be $30 per hour. During June, Naranjo Company worked on four jobs. Data relating to these four jobs follow:
Job 39 Job 40 Job 41 Job 42
Beginning balance $26,200 $32,800 $16,700 $0
Materials requisitioned 18,000 21,000 8,400 13,300
Direct labor cost 9,100 18,100 3,050 4,200
Overhead is assigned as a percentage of direct labor cost. During June, Jobs 39 and 40 were completed; Job 39 was sold at 110 percent of cost. (Naranjo had originally developed Job 40 to order for a customer; however, that customer was near bankruptcy and the chance of Naranjo being paid was growing dimmer. Naranjo decided to hold Job 40 in inventory while the customer worked out its financial difficulties. Job 40 is the only job in Finished Goods Inventory.) Jobs 41 and 42 remain unfinished at the end of the month.
Required:
1. Calculate the overhead rate based on direct labor cost.
% of direct labor cost
2. Set up a simple job-order cost sheet for all jobs in process during June. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

3. What if the expected direct labor rate at the beginning of the year was $20 instead of $25? What would the overhead rate be?
New budgeted direct labor cost = $
New overhead rate = % of direct labor cost
How would the cost of the jobs be affected?
Answer:
1. Budgeted direct labor cost = Average wage rate for direct labor * Budgeted direct labor hours
Budgeted direct labor cost = $30 * 23,000
Budgeted direct labor cost = $690,000
Overhead rate = Budgeted overhead costs/Budgeted direct labor cost
Overhead rate = $345,000 / $690,000
Overhead rate = 0.5
Overhead rate = 50%
2. Applied Overhead = Direct labor cost * Overhead rate
Job 39 Job 40 Job 41 Job 42
Beginning balance $26,200 $32,800 $16,700 $0
Material requisitioned $18,000 $21,000 $8,400 $13,300
Direct labor cost $9,100 $18,100 $3,050 $4,200
Applied Overhead $4,550 $9,050 $1,525 $2,100
Total Cost $57,850 $80,950 $29,675 $19,600
3. Budgeted direct labor cost = Average wage rate for direct labor * Budgeted direct labor hours
Budgeted direct labor cost = $20 * 23,000
Budgeted direct labor cost = $460,000
Overhead rate = Budgeted overhead costs/Budgeted direct labor cost
Overhead rate = $345,000 / $460,000
Overhead rate = 0.75
Overhead rate = 75%
