In a periodic inventory system, which of the following accounts may be closed by debiting Cost of Goods Sold? a) Sales, Inventory (beginning), and Gross Profit. b) Sales, Inventory (beginning), and Cost of Goods Available for Sale. c) Inventory (beginning) and Purchases. d) Purchases and Inventory (ending)."
Answer:
c) Inventory (beginning) and Purchases.
Explanation:
When you use perpetual inventory system, you must record cost of goods sold every time you make a sale. But when you use a periodic inventory system, you close cost of goods sold with merchandise inventory account at the end of the period.
beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory = cost of goods sold
Sierra Trading purchases a machine for $240,000. The machine has an estimated residual value of $80,000. The company expects the machine to produce eight million units. The machine is used to make 580,000 units during the current period. If the units-of-production method is used, the depreciation expense for this period is: Multiple Choice $11,600. $500,000. $17,400. $580,000.
Answer:
$11,600
Explanation:
depreciable value = historical cost - salvage value = $240,000 - $80,000 = $160,000
depreciation rate per unit = depreciable value / total units produced = $160,000 / 8,000,000 = $0.02 per unit produced
if 580,000 units were produced during the present period, depreciation expense = 580,000 x $0.02 = $11,600
Rasha is a protectionist. He witnessed the bankruptcies of several small businesses because they could not compete with cheaper goods marketed by foreign companies. When mobile phone manufacturing has just started in the U.K., Rasha's company was a first-entrant into the market. Which argument would Rasha most likely have used to convince the government to restrict the inflow of foreign mobile phones?
Answer:
Protection of domestic infant industry
Explanation:
Since in this case, the main reason for the bankruptcy of the smaller companies was because they could not compete selling their own phones at a cheaper amount like those marketed by foreign companies.
Hence, Rasha would most likely argue that the UK government has a responsibility to protect the domestic infant industry. In other words, there should be policies created to protect locally made mobile phone companies in the UK.
Suppose that we observe two comparable properties that have each sold twice within the past four years. Property A sold 24 months ago for $500,000 and Property B sold 48 months ago for $575,000. If the two properties were sold today at $425,000 and $465,000, respectively, estimate the change in market conditions (percentage change in price) per month, assuming we equally weight the two properties in our analysis.
Answer:
0.475% per month
Explanation:
value of property A 24 months ago = $500,000
current value of property A = $425,000
total decrease in value = $500,000 - $425,000 = $75,000 or 15%
monthly % decrease:
1.15 = (1 + r)²⁴
²⁴√1.15 = (1 + r)
1.0058 = 1 + r
r = 0.00584 = 0.58% decrease per month
value of property B 48 months ago = $575,000
current value of property A = $465,000
total decrease in value = $575,000 - $465,000 = $110,000 or 19.13%
monthly % decrease:
1.1913= (1 + r)⁴⁸
⁴⁸√1.1913 = (1 + r)
1.0037 = 1 + r
r = 0.0037 = 0.37% decrease per month
if both properties are weighted equally, then the market decrease per month = (0.58% x 1/2) + (0.37% x 1/2) = 0.475% per month
"We know that how we present data often can affect the audience’s conclusions about the data. In a recent article from Travel Weekly on the Department of Transportation’s on-time stats for airline arrivals, the argument is made that the airline industry pads its own statistics in order reap cost benefits, which may or may not be passed on to consumers. Is the reporting difference an ethical breach of confidence between the consumer and the industry?"
Answer:
The reporting difference is not an ethical breach of confidence between the consumer and the industry.
Explanation:
The information being presented is not confidential information. As a result, there is no ethical breach of confidence. Usually, such a lawsuit for breach of confidence is an action originating in common law concerning information between the airline and the consumers, when one of these parties decides to use the available confidential information for an unfair gain or advantage. This is not the case here between the airlines and the consumers of its services. Therefore, the case for breach of confidence should deal with the restriction of the dissemination of commercially viable information.
Early in the year, Marlon was in an automobile accident during the course of his employment. As a result of the physical injuries he sustained, he received the following payments during the year: Reimbursement of medical expenses Marlon paid by a medical insurance policy he purchased $10,000 Damage settlement to replace his lost salary 15,000 What is the amount that Marlon must include in gross income for the current year
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
It is good to state that the Settlements that are associated with physical injuries are non-taxable. With an exclusion of bodily or physical injury
So Reimbursement & medical expenses for medical coverage or insurance that was bought for S10000 - and the settlement for the replacement of his salary of $15000 will not be a part of the gross income.
Therefore the gross income for the year is zero dollars.

g Corporation's cost formula for its bungalow operating cost is $2,960 per month plus $326 per day. For the month of December, the company planned for activity of 20 days, but the actual level of activity was 18 days. (ID#17794) The actual bungalow operating cost for the month was $9,770. Q) What would be the spending variance for Blonok985's bungalow operating cost in December (closest to)?
Answer: $942 U
Explanation:
Budgeted cost was $2,960 per month plus $326 per day and there were 18 days of actual activity.
Budgeted cost = 2,960 + 326 * 18
= $8,828
Variance = Budgeted cost - Actual cost
= 8,828 - 9,770
= -$942
Budgeted cost is less than Actual cost which means the Variance is UNFAVORABLE.
Mr Rolf Weasley has recently purchased $12,000 worth of shares in Perloins Ltd. Given
the relative risk exposure of Perloins Ltd., Rolf expects an annual rate of return on the
investment of 9% p.a. compounded at regular intervals of 4 months. Approximately how
much would Rolf expect to realise from the sale of his investment in 5 years from now?
Answer:
$18,695.61
Explanation:
The future value is calculated using the formula
Fv= PV(1 + i)^n
where Fv = Future value
Pv= present value: $12,000
i= interest rate : 9% or 0.09 per year: 4 months interests =0.09/12 x4 =0.03
n= 5 years: number of periods = 5 x 3 (12/4) periods = 15
Fv= $12,000 ( 1 + 0.03)^15
Fv= $12,000 x 1.5579674
Fv =$18,695.6089
Fv=$18,695.61
Torino Company has 2,600 shares of $20 par value, 5.5% cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock and 26,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The company paid total cash dividends of $2,500 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:
Answer:
$3,220
Explanation:
total preferred dividends per year = 2,600 x $20 x 5.5% = $2,860
if $2,500 were paid during year 1, $2,860 - $2,500 = $360 remain to be paid during year 2.
Before common dividends can be paid, the company must first pay $2,860 + $360 = $3,220 in cumulative preferred dividends
If the preferred dividends were not cumulative, then if they are not paid during one year, they will be lost. Only cumulative preferred dividends accumulate from one year to another (or for several years).

A stock is expected to pay dividends of $1.20 per share in Year 1 and $1.35 per share in Year 2. After that, the dividend is expected to increase by 2.5% annually. What is the current value of the stock at a discount rate of 14.5%
Answer:
$10.8734
Explanation:
The computation of the current value of the stock is shown below:
D1 = $1.20
D2 = $1.35
D3 = 1.35 × 1.025 = 1.38375
g = 2.5% = 0.025
Now as we know that
P2 = D3 ÷ (r - g)
where,
Price in year 2 = P2 = $1.38375 ÷ (0.145 - 0.025)
= $11.53125
So Current Price is
= $1.20 ÷ 1.145 + $1.35 ÷ 1.145^2 + $11.53125 ÷ 1.145^2
= $10.8734
g 2018: US Bond A is issued at par with annual coupon of 2% and maturity of 5 years with face value of $1,000. 2019: Interest rates increase in the market 2020: US Bond B is issued at par today with annual coupon of 5% and a maturity of 3 years with face value of $1,000.What should the price of Bond A be today, 2020, with 3 years left to maturity, so that its yield to maturity is equal to the yield to maturity on Bond B
Answer:
$918.48
Explanation:
price of bond A after the interest rate increased to 5% and the time to maturity is 3 years:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 5%)³ = $863.84
PV of coupon payments = $20 x 2.7232 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 3 periods) = $54.46
Market value of bond A = $863.84 + $54.46 = $918.48
Since the market rate is higher than the coupon rate, the bond will sell at a discount.
The following are Silver Corporation's unit costs of making and selling an item at a volume of 9,400 units per month (which represents the company's capacity): Manufacturing: Direct materials $ 3.00 Direct labor $ 4.00 Variable overhead $ 2.50 Fixed overhead $ 0.85 Selling and administrative: Variable $ 4.00 Fixed $ 1.25 Present sales amount to 6,400 units per month. An order has been received from a customer in a foreign market for 3,000 units. The order would not affect regular sales.

Abigail purchases a 5-year, 10,000 bond that pays 3.5% annual coupons and matures at par. She pays 6,000 for the bond and also deposits the coupons into an account which earns 7.5% interest. What is her total yield rate on the 6000 investment once the bond matures
Answer:
the total yield rate on 6,000 investment is 14.9328%
Explanation:
The computation of the total yield rate is as follows:
= ((Annual coupon rate × bond ÷ interest earned percentgae × (1 + interest earned percentage - 1) + bond) ÷ (bond))^(1 ÷ time period) -1
= ((3.5% × 10,000 ÷ 7.5% × (1.075^5 - 1) + 10,000) ÷ (6,000))^(1 ÷ 5) - 1
= 14.9328%
Hence, the total yield rate on 6,000 investment is 14.9328%

Answer:
$81.11
Explanation:
the formula used to calculate stock price is the dividend discount model:

Div₅ = $9.36
Div₆ = $9.73
P₅ = $9.73 / (16% - 4%) = $81.11

Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $50,000 or $150,000, with equal probabilities of 0.5. The alternative riskless investment in T-bills pays 5%. a. If you require a risk premium of 10%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio
Answer:
A. $86,956.52
B. 15%
C.$83,333.33
Explanation:
a) Calculation for how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio
First step is to calculate the required rate of return on the portfolio using this formula
The required rate of return on the portfolio= Risk Free Return+Risk Premium
Let plug in the formula
The required rate of return on the portfolio=5%+10%
The required rate of return on the portfolio=15%
Second step is to calculate the Expected value of the portfolio
Expected value of the portfolio= 0.5*50,000+0.5*150,000
Expected value of the portfolio =$100,000
Assuming x is the amount you will be willing to pay for the portfolio which means that:
x*(1+15%)=100,000 OR x= $86,956.52
Therefore You would be willing to pay $86,956.52 for the portfolio.
b) Calculation for What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be
Expected return on the portfolio= (100,000-86,956.52)/86,956.52
Expected return on the portfolio=15%
Therefore the Expected return on the portfolio will be 15%
c) Calculation for What is the price you will be willing to pay now
In a situation where the risk premium is 15%, which means that the required rate of return will be
Required rate of return=5%+15%
Required rate of return=20%
Therefore the price you will be willing to pay= 100,000/(1+20%)
