The Garden Company began the accounting period with a $46,000 credit balance in its Accounts Payable account. During the accounting period, Garden Company incurred expenses on account of $125,000. The ending Accounts Payable balance was $65,000. Required Based on this information, determine the amount of cash outflow for expenses during the accounting period. (Hint: Use a T-account for Accounts Payable. Enter the debits and credits for the given events, and solve for the missing amount.)

Answers

Answer:

the  cash outflow for expenses is $106,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cash outflow for expenses is shown below:

Beginning balance $46,000

add; expenses $125,000

less; ending balance -$65,000

Cash outflow for expenses $106,000

Hence, the  cash outflow for expenses is $106,000

You own factory A and factory B. The next cash flow for each factory is expected in 1 year. Factory A has a cost of capital of 3.5 percent and is expected to produce annual cash flows of $19,300 forever. Factory B is worth $545,000 and is expected to produce annual cash flows of $19,900 forever. Which assertion is true

Answers

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the worth of factory A which will be:

= Cash flow / Cost of capital

= $19300 / 3.5%

= $19300 / 0.035

= $551428.57

= $551429

Cost of capital of Factory B = Cash flow / Worth

= $19,900 / $545,000

= 0.0365

= 3.65%

Cost of capital of Factory A = 3.5%

Cost of capital of Factory B = 3.65%

Worth of factory A = $551429

Worth of Factory B = $545,000

Therefore, factory A is more valuable than Factory B and Factory B is more risky than Factory A.

Answers

Answer:

Curry Consulting Inc.

Showing the effects of transactions on the accounting equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

May 1:

Assets (Cash + $15,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Common Stock + $15,000)

May 2:

Assets (Cash - $600) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $600)

May 3:

Assets (Supplies +$500) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable +$500) + Equity

May 5:

Assets (Cash - $150) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $150)

May 9:

Assets (Cash + $1,400) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $1,400)

May 12:

Assets (Cash - $200) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $200)

May 15:

Assets (Accounts Receivable +$4,200) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings +$4,200)

May 17:

Assets (Cash - $2,500) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $2,500)

May 20:

Assets (Cash -$500) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable -$500) + Equity

May 23:

Assets (Cash +$1,200 Accounts Receivable -$1,200) = Liabilities + Equity

May 26:

Assets (Cash +$5,000) = Liabilities (Notes Payable +$5,000) + Equity

May 29:

Assets (Cash -$200 Equipment +$2,000) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable +$1,800) + Equity

May 30:

Assets (Cash - $180) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $180)

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows that Assets = Liabilities + Equity.  This equation is the basis of the double-system of accounting. It is always in balance when each transaction is correctly posted.  The implication is that every business transaction affects, in two ways, either the assets side or the liabilities and equity side or both.

Indiana Company produces couches. The fixed monthly cost of production is $8,000, and the variable cost per unit is $65. The couches sell for $180 apiece. Answer these questions: 3 points each 1) For a monthly volume of 300 tables, determine the total cost, total revenue, and profit. 2) Determine the monthly break-even volume for Indiana Company.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1) For a monthly volume of 300 tables, determine the total cost, total revenue, and profit.

Fixed monthly cost = $8000

Variable cost per unit = $65

Selling price = $180 each

Monthly volume = 300

Therefore, the total cost will be

= $8000 + ($65 × 300)

= $8000 + $19500

= $27500

The total revenue will then be:

= Price × Quantity

= $180 * 300 units

= $54000

Total profit will be:

= Sales revenue - Cost

= $54000 - $27500

= $26500

b) Break even volume simply means the volume whereby no profit or loss is incurred. This will be:

= $8000 / ($180 - $65)

= $8000 / $115

= 69.56 units

= 70 units

Answers

Answer:

USAco

As a result of these activities, USACo will be allowed a Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") deduction of _______________

$236,250.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations

Net income = $10 million

Export sales income = $3 million

Normal tax on $3 million at 21% = $630,000

FDII 13.125% tax on $3 million = $393,750

Difference = $236,250

b) A foreign derived intangible income (FDII) arises from the ownership, sale, or exchange of intangible property, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, or other products tied to intangible assets by USACo, which entitles it to make a tax deduction of the calculated amount or to be taxed at a reduced tax rate of 13.125% instead of the normal 21% corporate tax rate.  The FDII is aimed at encouraging US-based corporations to export more goods and services while locating more intangible assets in the US.

What is a credit card?

A credit card is said to be a type of plastic money that allows an individual to purchase goods on credit and pay back the amount later on some specified rate of interest being charged on it.

In order to avoid excessive spending, one should keep in mind that if a credit card debt is left unpaid at the end of the credit limit, interest will be imposed on the remaining balance.

Paying late fees results in unneeded costs, thus it's wiser to Check your credit card account online to see if there are any online solutions that will allow you to send the payment by April 20th without incurring any additional payment fees.

Therefore, option B is appropriate.

Hakara Company has been using direct labor costs as the basis for assigning overhead to its many products. Under this allocation system, product A has been assigned overhead of $10.80 per unit, while product B has been assigned $3.60 per unit. Management feels that an ABC system will provide a more accurate allocation of the overhead costs and has collected the following cost pool and cost driver information:

Cost Pools Activity Costs Cost Drivers Driver Consumption
Machine setup $360,000 Setup hours 4,000
Materials handling 100,000 Pounds of materials 20,000
Electric power 40,000 Kilowatt-hours 40,000

The following cost information pertains to the production of A and B, just two of Hakara's many products:

A B
Number of units produced 4,000 20,000
Direct materials cost $42,000 $54,000
Direct labor cost $24,000 $40,000
Number of setup hours 400 200
Pounds of materials used 1,000 3,000
Kilowatt-hours 2,000 4,000

Required:
Use activity-based costing to determine a unit cost for each product.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rates of allocation:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine setup= 360,000/4,000= $90 per set up hour

Materials handling= 100,000/20,000= $5 per pound of material

Electric power= 40,000/40,000= $1 per kilowwat hour

Now, we can allocate costs to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

A:

Allocated MOH= 90*400 + 5*1,000 + 1*2,000

Allocated MOH= $43,000

B:

Allocated MOH= 90*200 + 5*3,000 + 1*4,000

Allocated MOH= $37,000

Finally, the total and unitary cost:

A:

Total cost= 42,000 + 24,000 + 43,000

Total cost= $109,000

Unitary cost= 109,000/4,000

Unitary cost= $2.73

B:

Total cost= 54,000 + 40,000 + 37,000

Total cost= $131,000

Unitary cost= 131,000/20,000

Unitary cost= $6.55

The Activity-based costing (ABC) costing system is based on activities, overseen by any event, task unit, or targeted activity

What do you mean by Acitivity based costing?

Activity-based costing (ABC) is a way of providing assigning overhead and indirect costs such as salaries and services — to products and services.

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is equal to total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

[tex]\rm\,Machine \;setup= \dfrac{360,000}{4,000}= \$90 \; per \;set \;up \;hour\\\\Materials \;handling= \dfrac{100,000}{20,000}= \$5 \;per \;pound \;of \;material\\\\Electric \; power= \dfrac{40,000}{40,000}= \$1 \;per \; kilowatt \;hour[/tex]

We can allocate costs to each product:

Allocated manufacturing overhead is equal to Estimated manufacturing overhead rate multiplied by Actual amount of allocation base.

[tex]\rm\,A: Allocated MOH= 90 \times 400 + 5\times 1,000 + 1\times2,000\\\\Allocated MOH= \$43,000\\\\B: Allocated MOH= 90 \times200 + 5\times3,000 + 1\times4,000\\\\Allocated MOH= \$37,000[/tex]

The total and unitary cost:

[tex]\rm\, A. Total\; cost = 42,000 + 24,000 + 43,000\\\\Total \;cost= \$109,000\\\\Unitary \;cost= \dfrac{109,000}{4,000}\\\\Unitary \;cost= \$2.73\\\\B: Total \;cost= 54,000 + 40,000 + 37,000\\\\Total\; cost= \$131,000\\\\Unitary\; cost= \dfrac{131,000}{20,000}\\\\Unitary\; cost= \$6.55\\\\[/tex]

Thus, Activity based costing (ABC) is used to determine a unit cost for each product A and B.

Suppose that in the market for loanable funds, the governement is currently running a deficit, and net exports are negative. Then, there is a sharp recession, causing consumer spending on both domestic and imported goods to fall (just as is currently happening), so that the size of the trade deficit shrinks. What effect will this have on the market for loanable funds

Answers

Answer:  4. Demand will shift inwards, lower rates and decreasing lending.

Explanation:

People demand loanable funds for spending on consumption and investment. If there is a recession, people will buy less goods and companies will invest less as well.

This will reduce the demand that people and companies have for loanable funds. The demand will therefore shift inwards to the left and lead to lower rates and decreased lending.

Answers

Answer:

E. the demand​ curve, and the inverse demand curve can be calculated from it.

Explanation:

A demand function helps to show the relation between quantity demanded and price, the price here is the quantity is a function of price. So, writing the function in other way round, the price which is a function of quantity demanded is called as an inverse demand function.

As per the details given in the question above, it is clear that the quantity is a function of price. The prices on the menu varies and the quantity demanded is determined through various prices. Using this a demand function can easily be computed since quantity is a function of price.

An engineering student has just finished the freshman year and has received an offer of $20,000 per year in a full-time job. with prospects of salary increasing 3 % per year until retirement after 33 years. If employment is taken, the student will likely not finish his engineering degree. Tuition and other costs are $10,000 next year, increasing at 7% per year. A starting salary of $45.000 could be expected upon graduation from the fouryear program. Salary increases in the engineering job are estimated at 4% per year until retirement after 30 years.

Required:
On the basis of economics alone, should the student take the job now or finish college? Analyze as two mutually exclusive alternatives and solve with present worth analysis. Interest rate is 7%.

Answers

Answer:

Since the $860,886.33 which is the present worth of net salary if he finishes his engineering degree is greater than the $357,788.81 which is the present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree, the student should finish college.

Explanation:

This can be dermined based on the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present worth (PW) of a growing annuity as follows:

PWN = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (1)

Where;

PWN = present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree = ?

P = Annual salary = $20,000

r = interest rate per year = 7%, or 0.07

g = growth rate of salary = 3% or 0.03

n = number of years = 33

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PWN = ($20,000 / (0.07 - 0.03)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.03) / (1 + 0.07))^33)

PWN = $357,788.81

Step 2: Calculation of present worth net salary if he finishes his engineering degree

Calculation of the present worth of tuition and other costs

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present worth (PW) of a growing annuity as follows:

PWT = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (2)

Where;

PWT = present worth tuition and other costs = ?

P = Tuition and other costs next year = $10,000

r = interest rate per year = 7%, or 0.07

g = growth rate of tuition and other costs = 7% or 0.07

n = number of years = Number of years for engineering degree - One year already spent = 4 - 1 = 3

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

PWT = (10,000 / (0.07 - 0.07)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.07) / (1 + 0.07))^3)

PWT = undefined or 0

Note: The PWT is undefined because r = g here. Therefore, it should not be considered in the further analysis.

Calculation of the present worth of salary after graduation

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present worth (PW) of a growing annuity as follows:

PWG = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (3)

Where;

PWG = present worth of salary after graduation = ?

P = Starting salary = $45,000

r = interest rate per year = 7%, or 0.07

g = growth rate of salary = 4% or 0.04

n = number of years = 30

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

PWG = ($45,000 / (0.07 - 0.04)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.04) / (1 + 0.07))^30)

PWG = $860,886.33

Step 3: Decision

Present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree = $357,788.81

Present worth of net salary if he finishes his engineering degree = present worth of salary after graduation = $860,886.33

Since the $860,886.33 which is the present worth of net salary if he finishes his engineering degree is greater than the $357,788.81 which is the present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree, the student should finish college.
