Answer: $14,000
Explanation:
Estimated Uncollectibles = (4% * 175,000) + ( 10% * 40,000) + ( 30% * 10,000) + (60% * 5,000)
= 7,000 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 3,000
= $17,000
Balance before adjustment is a credit of $3,000 so the adjustment for the year is;
= 17,000 - 3,000
= $14,000

Jim wants to start his own business and needs $10,000 for working capital. He applies for a business loan at FirstBank. The banker tells Jim that the Bank will make the loan if Jim's father will personally guarantee repayment of the loan. Jim assures the banker that his father will do this. The banker calls Jim's father to confirm that he will guarantee Jim's $10,000 loan. Jim's father says: "Sure thing, I'd do anything for that boy." The bank makes the loan to Jim. Jim's new business is not successful and Jim is unable to repay the loan. Jim has no money. Jim's father has buckets of money. The bank sues Jim's father to recover the unpaid amount of the loan plus interest plus attorneys' fees and costs of collecting the debt.
Which of the following is true?
A. Jim's father can make a strong argument that he is not liable to pay his son's debt because the Bank did not have him sign a written guaranty agreement.
B.The oral agreement to guaranty the loan is not enforceable because it is contrary to public policy.
C.Jim’s father is liable to pay his son’s debt because the Bank partially performed under the loan agreement.
D.If it can be proven in a court of law that Jim's father orally agreed to guarantee the loan, Jim's father will be held liable for the repayment of the loanbecause 'a deal is a deal'.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
From the different options provided, in this scenario the one that is true is that Jim's father can make a strong argument that he is not liable to pay his son's debt because the Bank did not have him sign a written guaranty agreement. In order for the bank to properly hold Jim and his father to the agreement they needed to create a contract and have Jim's father sign and agree to the contract in person. Since the bank failed to do so, then Jim's father can fight the lawsuit. Agreement over the phone is not proper procedure and would not hold up in court due to the bank not being able to properly verify who the individual on the other side of the phone call truly was or if he was really Jim's Father.

Razor Inc. manufactures industrial components. One of its products used as a subcomponent in auto manufacturing is Fluoro2211. The selling price and cost per unit data for 9,130 units of Fluoro2211 are as follows.
Per Unit Data
Selling Price $410
Direct Materials 150
Direct Labor 28
Variable Manufacturing Overhead 25
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead 43
Variable Selling 16
Fixed Selling and Administrative 23
Total Costs 285
Operating Margin $125
During the next year, sales of Fluoro2211 are expected to be 10,130 units. All costs will remain the same except for fixed manufacturing overhead, which will increase by 20%, and direct materials, which will increase by 10%. The selling price per unit for next year will be $420. Based on these data, Razor Inc.'s total contribution margin for next year will be: __________
Answer:
Total contribution margin= $1,884,180
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct Materials 150
Direct Labor 28
Variable Manufacturing Overhead 25
Variable Selling 16
Sales in units= 10,130
Selling price= $420
Direct material cost= 150*1.1= $165
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= selling price - total unitary variable cost
Unitary contribution margin= 420 - (28 + 25 + 16 + 165)
Unitary contribution margin= $186
Now, the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 10,130*186
Total contribution margin= $1,884,180

You have a tax basis of ​$ and a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Provide a depreciation schedule ​(dk for k1​5) for ​% declining balance with switchover to straight line. Specify the year to switchover. Determine the depreciation amounts using the ​% declining balance and​ straight-line methods and BV amounts for each year
Answer:
the numbers are missing, so I will use another question as an example:
the asset's cost is $100,000useful life is 5 yearsno salvage value150% declining balancestraight line depreciation = $100,000 / 5 = $20,000
150% declining balance depreciation year 1 = 1.5 x $100,000 x 1/5 = $30,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance
book value at end of year 1 = $100,000 - $30,000 = $70,000
straight line deprecation = $70,000 / 4 = $17,500
150% declining balance depreciation year 2 = 1.5 x $70,000 x 1/5 = $28,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance
book value at end of year 2 = $70,000 - $28,000 = $42,000
straight line depreciation = $42,000 / 3 = $14,000, since it is higher than declining balance we will use straight line ⇒ switchover year
150% declining balance depreciation year 3 = 1.5 x $42,000 x 1/5 = $12,600
book value at end of year 3 = $42,000 - $14,000 = $28,000
depreciation year 4 = $14,000 (straight line)
book value at end of year 4 = $28,000 - $14,000 = $14,000
depreciation year 5 = $14,000 (straight line)
book value at end of year 5 = $14,000 - $14,000 = $0

Brazil has a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate. The typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident. Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and capital, if Brazil opens its borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.
D. Since technologically advanced physical capital is necessary for economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its economic growth rate will be lower because there are not enough skilled workers to operate sophisticated machinery.
Answer:
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
Explanation:
According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.
A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.
Robin, who is a head of household and age 42, provides you with the following information from his financial records for 2019. Robin itemizes deductions. Regular income tax liability $142,125 PositiveAMT adjustments 30,000 AMT preferences 100,000 Taxable income 481,000 Calculate Robin's AMT for 2019. a.$12,636. b.$3,757. c.$12,032. d.$15,126.
Answer:
$15,158.
Explanation:
We can calculate the Robin's AMT for 2019 by first deducting the AMT exemption for 2019 and then multiplying it by the rate of 26% FOR 2019.
DATA
AMT preferences 100,000
PositiveAMT adjustments 30,000
Total AMT = $100,000 + $30,000 = $130,000
Solution
Exemption for 2019 = $71,700.
Robin's AMT for 2019 = ($130,000 - $71,700) × 26%
Robin's AMT for 2019 = $15,158.
Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $4. In year 2, the quantity produced is 4 bars and the price is $5. In year 3, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $6. Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The nominal GDP is the market value of goods within a country adjusted for price change.
Nominal GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at current price = 3 bars × $4 = $12
Nominal GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at current price = 4 bars × $5 = $20
Nominal GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at current price = 5 bars × $6 = $30
The real GDP is the market value of goods within a country at current price.
Real GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 3 bars × $4 = $12
Real GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 4 bars × $4 = $16
Real GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 5 bars × $4 = $20
GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP multiplied by 100.
GDP deflator in year 1 = (Nominal GDP in year 1 / Real GDP in year 1) × 100 = ($12/$12) × 100 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = (Nominal GDP in year 2 / Real GDP in year 2) × 100 = ($20/$16) × 125 = 100
GDP deflator in year 3 = (Nominal GDP in year 3 / Real GDP in year 3) × 100 = ($30/$20) × 100 = 150
Producers of snack foods (such as candy bars or potato chips) are most likely to use a(n) _____________ distribution strategy for their products.
Answer:

Bird Corp.'s trademark was licensed to Brian Co. for royalties of 15% of the sales of the trademarked items. Royalties are payable semiannually on March 15 for sales in July through December of the prior year, and on September 15 for sales in January through June of the same year. Bird received the following royalties from Brian:
March 15 September 15
20X4 $5,000 $7,500
20X5 6,000 8,500
Brian estimated that the sales of the trademarked items would total $30,000 for July through December 20X5. In Bird's 20X5 Income Statement, the royalty revenue should be:______.
a. $13,000.
b. $14,500.
c. $19,000.
d. $20,500.
Answer:
a. $13,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what royalty revenue should be
First step is to find the estimated amount for the second half of the year
Royalties for the second half =
15%*$30,000
Royalties for the second half= $4,500
Now let Compute for the total royalty revenue
Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$8,500+$4,500
Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$13,000
Therefore the royalty revenue should be $13,000
Assume that your father is now 50 years old, plans to retire in 10 years, and expects to live for 25 years after he retires - that is, until age 85. He wants his first retirement payment to have the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $55,000 has today. He wants all his subsequent retirement payments to be equal to his first retirement payment. (Do not let the retirement payments grow with inflation: Your father realizes that if inflation occurs the real value of his retirement income will decline year by year after he retires). His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and he will then receive 24 additional annual payments. Inflation is expected to be 3% per year from today forward. He currently has $100,000 saved and expects to earn a return on his savings of 4% per year with annual compounding.
Required:
To the nearest dollar, how much must he save during each of the next 10 years (with equal deposits being made at the end of each year, beginning a year from today) to meet his retirement goal? (Note: Neither the amount he saves nor the amount he withdraws upon retirement is a growing annuity.) Do not round intermediate steps.
Answer:
$87,696
Explanation:
your father wants to get the same distribution during the whole 25 years that he is retired, but we must first determine the initial adjusted to inflation. The $55,000 that he currently earns will be equivalent to $55,000 x (1 + 3%)¹⁰ = $73,915.40 in 10 years.
Since your father wants to start collecting the distributions immediately after he retires, this is an annuity due. Using the present value of an annuity due formula, we can determine the money that he will need to have in 10 years.
PV = annual distribution x annuity factor
annual distribution = $73,915.40PV annuity due factor, 25 periods, 4% = 16.24696PV = $73,915.40 x 16.24696 = $1,200,900.55
That PV now becomes our future value that must be saved.
Since your father already has $100,000 in his account, that will turn into $100,000 x (1 + 4%)¹⁰ = $148,024.43
This means that he is $1,200,900.55 - $148,024.43 = $1,052,876.12 short.
Using the future value of an ordinary annuity formula, we can determine his annual contribution:
annual contribution = FV / annuity factor
FV = $1,052,876.12
FV annuity factor, 4%, 10 periods = 12.006
annual contribution = $1,052,876.12 / 12.006 = $87,695.83 ≈ $87,696
