Ben’s recognized loss is $10,000 and Trish’s recognized gain is $1,000.d. Ray’s recognized gain is $11,000 and Trish’s basis is $26,000.e. None of the above
Answer:
Ray’s recognized gain = $11,000
Trish’s basis = $26,000.
Option "D" is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Given:
Adjusted value of stock = $25,000
Market vale = $15,000
Sales price = $26,000
Find:
Ray’s recognized gain
Trish’s basis
Computation:
Ray’s recognized gain = Sales price - Market vale
Ray’s recognized gain = $26,000 - $15,000
Ray’s recognized gain = $11,000
Trish’s basis = $26,000.
During August, Boxer Company sells $360,000 in merchandise that has a one-year warranty. Experience shows that warranty expenses average about 4% of the selling price. The warranty liability account has a credit balance of $12,400 before adjustment. Customers returned merchandise for warranty repairs during the month that used $9,000 in parts for repairs. The entry to record the estimated warranty expense for the month is:
Answer:
Debit Estimated Warranty Liability $12,400
Credit Warranty Expense $12,400
Explanation:
Warranty Expense = 0.04 * Total Sales
Warranty Expense = 0.04 * $360,000
Warranty Expense = $14,400
Warranty Liability Account = Warranty Expense + Opening balance of the Warranty liability Account
Warranty Liability Account = $14,400 + $12,400
Warranty Liability Account = $26,800
The business would incur actual warranty expense of $12,400.
Debit Estimated Warranty Liability $12,400
Credit Warranty Expense $12,400

Kingbird Industries had one patent recorded on its books as of January 1, 2020. This patent had a book value of $249,600 and a remaining useful life of 8 years. During 2020, Kingbird incurred research and development costs of $90,000 and brought a patent infringement suit against a competitor. On December 1, 2020, Kingbird received the good news that its patent was valid and that its competitor could not use the process Kingbird had patented. The company incurred $93,500 to defend this patent.
Required: At what amount should patent(s) be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents?
Answer:
The amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Patent book value = $249,600
Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 = 8
Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 = Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 * 12 8 * 12 = 96
Monthly Patent book value = Patent book value / Remaining useful months = $249,600 = $2,600
Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = Monthly Patent book value * 12 = $2,600 * 12 = $31,200
Legal fee incurred = $93,500
Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 11
Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 - Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 96 - 11 = 85
Monthly legal fee = Legal fee incurred / Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = $93,500 / 85 = $1,100
Amount to report = Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 + Monthly legal fee for December 1, 2020 only = $31,200 + $1,100 = $32,300
Therefore, the amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.

Explanation:
Westsyde Tool Company is expected to pay a dividend of $2 in the upcoming year. The risk-free rate of return is 6%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. Analysts expect the price of Westsyde Tool Company shares to be $29 a year from now. The beta of Westsyde Tool Company's stock is 1.2. Using a one-period valuation model, the intrinsic value of Westsyde Tool Company stock today is ________.
Answer:
$27.39
Explanation:
The required return = Risk-free rate + Beta*(market rate- risk-free rate)
The required return = 6% + 1.2*(12%-6%)
The required return = 6% + 7.2%
The required return = 13.2%
Intrinsic value = Future dividend *Present value of discounting factor + Value*Present value of discounting factor
Intrinsic value = $2/1.132 + $29/1.132
Intrinsic value = $1.76678 + $25.6184
Intrinsic value = $27.38518
Intrinsic value = $27.39
Thus, the intrinsic value of Westsyde Tool Company stock today is $27.39

Barbara's employer offers health coverage to its employees. However, Barbara feels it is unaffordable and wants to apply for a health insurance premium tax credit. In order for the coverage to be deemed unaffordable in 2020, Barbara's self-only premium must exceed __ of her household income.
Answer:
9.83%
Explanation:
If the health insurance premium represents 9.83% of Barbara's income or less, it is considered affordable coverage. Only if it exceeds the 9.83% threshold, will Barbara be able to request a health insurance premium tax credit. Theoretically, if Barbara's health insurance was purchased in the Health Insurance Marketplace, the tax credit should be automatic and her premium should be lowered so that it can become affordable.

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases (units)= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
January (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (140,000*0.3)= 42,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 122,000
Total cost= 122,000*4= $488,000
February (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (42,000)
Total number of units= 158,000
Total cost= 158,000*4= $632,000
March (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 200,000
Total cost= 200,000*4= $800,000
April (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (160,000*0.3)= 48,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 188,000
Total cost= 188,000*4= $752,000
May (units):
Sales= 160,000
Desired ending inventory= (220,000*0.3)= 66,000
Beginning inventory= (48,000)
Total number of units= 178,000
Total cost= 178,000*4= $712,000
Shale Remodeling uses time and materials pricing. It is setting prices for next year using the following information: Labor rate, including fringe benefits $ 86 per hour Annual labor hours 3,100 hours Annual materials purchase $ 1,316,250 Materials purchasing, handling, and storage $ 315,900 Overhead for depreciation, taxes, insurance, etc. $ 780,000 Target profit margin for both labor and materials 25 % What should Shale set as the materials markup per dollar of materials used
Answer:
49%
Explanation:
Material mark up per dollar of material used = Target profit + Percentage of material purchasing , handling and storage
Material mark up per dollar of material used = 25% + (315,900/1,316,250 *100)
Material mark up per dollar of material used = 25% + 24%
Material mark up per dollar of material used = 49%
Pine Street Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $59. Production costs are $38 variable and $10 fixed. Because it has unused capacity, Pine Street is considering finishing the bookcases and selling them for $75. Variable finishing costs are expected to be $8 per unit with no increase in fixed costs. Prepare an analysis on a per unit basis showing whether Pine Street should sell unfinished or finished bookcases.
Answer:
It is more profitable to continue processing the bookcases.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total unitary production cost of each option:
Unfinished:
Total cost= 38 + 10= $48
Finished:
Total cost= 48 + 8= $56
Now, based on the unitary contribution margin, we decide which option is more profitable.
Unfinished:
Unitary contribution margin= 59 - 48= $11
Finished:
Unitary contribution margin= 75 - 56= $19
It is more profitable to continue processing the bookcases.

Answer:
Qualify for an A.P.R. based on their creditworthiness
Explanation:
After the introductory period is over you will be set a new APR
Financial services Consumers, who have Platinum Card after some introductory period, qualify for APR (Annual Percentage Rates).
The qualification for APR depends on the customer's creditworthiness. This is the assessed financial ability of a customer to pay on her credit terms. If the credit performance of the customer is adjudged worthy, the cardholder may be given a Titanium card with a higher credit limit.When a credit card account is opened for a customer, the customer is charged with the introductory rate. Then, after the introductory period, the customers are charged with the APR, which is usually less than the introductory rate.Credit card account holders may also attract penalty APR when the penalty terms are triggered. Some credit card accounts attract variable APR, which means that the rate changes depending on stated circumstances.Thus, the rate charged at the introductory period of a Platinum Card is higher than the APR.

Fernando, a trader, wants to buy 1,000 shares of XYZ stock, while a second trader, Ally, is willing to sell 1,500 shares of the same stock. Unfortunately, Fernando and Ally don’t know one another and must complete their transactions using the stock exchange’s market-making dealer. XYZ’s market maker is willing to sell her shares for $26.80 per share and purchase additional shares for $26.25 per share. Select the most appropriate values in the following table:
Bid price 26.25, 25.80, 31.50
Ask price 40.20,26.80,26.25
Bid-ask spread 26.25,87.67,0.55
If the market maker is willing to purchase the entire block of 1,500 shares from Ally and, from that block, resell 1,000 shares to Fernando, then the market maker’s net profit from Fernando’s transaction—excluding any inventory effects—will be:_________
a) 275,00
b) 825.00,
c) 503.00,
d) 550.00
Answer:
1. The characteristic that accurately describes the stock market is:
An active market that determines the price of a firm’s shares.
2. The statement that best describes the bid-ask spread is:
The difference between the price at which a dealer is willing to buy a security and the price at which a dealer is willing to sell it.
3. Bid price = $26.25; Ask price = $26.80
4. Fernando’s transaction—excluding any inventory effects—will be:_________
d) 550.00
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
XYZ's market maker:
Sell shares at $26.80 * 1,000 = $26,800
Buy shares at $26.25 * 1,000 = 26,250 ($39,375 - 13,125)
Net profit $550
Thus, the inventory of shares = $13,125 ($26.25 * 500)
b) The bid price is the amount per share that the XYZ market maker is willing to buy the 1,500 Ally shares. The ask price is the amount per share that the market maker is willing to sell the 1,000 shares to Fernando. The bid-ask spread represents the difference between the bid price and the ask price. It is the profit margin for the market maker.

On January 1, Year 1, Lowing Company acquired a patent from Generics Research Corporation for $3 million. The legal life of the patent is 20 years, but Lowing expects to use it for 5 years. Pawson Company has committed to purchase the patent from Lowing for $500,000 at the end of that 5-year period. Lowing uses the straight-line method to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives. What is the amount of amortization expense each year
Answer:
patent amortization expense per year = $500,000 per year
Explanation:
patent amortization expense per year = depreciable value / useful life of the intangible asset
depreciable value = purchase cost - salvage value = $3,000,000 - $500,000 = $2,500,000useful life of the patent = 5 years (the legal life is different than the useful life)patent amortization expense per year = $2,500,000 / 5 years = $500,000 per year
Frankenstein Enterprises received two notes from customers for sales that Frankenstein made in 2021. The notes included: Note A: Dated 5/31/2021, principal of $135,000 and interest due 3/31/2022. Note B: Dated 7/1/2021, principal of $227,000 and interest at 8% annually, due on 4/1/2022. Frankenstein had accrued a total of $16,300 interest receivable from these notes in its 12/31/2021 balance sheet. The annual interest rate on Note A is closest to:
Answer:
9.17%
Explanation:
Interest on Note B = $227,000 * 8% * 6/12
Interest on Note B = $9,080
Remaining Interest = $16,300 - $9,080 = $7,220
Annual Interest Rate = $7,220 / $135,000 * 12/7
Annual Interest Rate = 0.0916825397
Annual Interest Rate = 9.16825397
Annual Interest Rate = 9.17%

Total= $1,632,000
Predetermined overhead rate of $ 85.00 per DLH is calculated as:
Total manufacturing overhead $ 1,632,000(a)
Total direct labor-hours 19,200 DLHs(b)
(a) ÷ (b) =Predetermined overhead rate $ 85.00 per DLH
Therefore the total amount of overhead cost that would be applied to each product is :
Product H $1,360,000
Product L $272,000
Total $1,632,000
C. Calculation for how much overhead cost per unit would be assigned to each product
Product H Product L Total
Total manufacturing overhead assigned (a)
$816,000 $816,000 =$1,632,000
Number of units produced (b) 40,000 8,000
(a) ÷ (b) =Manufacturing overhead per unit $20.40 $102.00
Therefore the amount of overhead cost per unit would be assigned to each product is :
Product H $20.40
Product L -$102.00
In the market for pickled herring there are two competing producers: Abbas and Taste of Base. Both herring manufacturers have fixed cost worth $880,000 a year and a constant marginal and average variable cost of $3.22 per jar. In the current year, Abbas produced and sold 400,000 jars of herring while Taste of Base produced and sold 222,000 jars. Based on this information, we can expect Abbas' quantity sold to _____________ and its ________ in the future.
Answer: increase; average fixed cost to decrease
Explanation:
Abbas produced 400,000 jars which is more than those produced by Taste of Base. With a higher quantity of jars produced, we can expect that they will sell more jars which means that Abbas' quantity sold will increase.
Average fixed cost is calculated by dividing Fixed costs by quantity produced. If Abbas produces more jars as they did, the quantity dividing fixed costs will be more which means that the Average Fixed cost will be less. Simply put, there is less fixed cost per jar, the higher the number of jars produced.
Assume that Clark Electronics has a monopoly in the production and sale of a new device for detecting and destroying a computer virus. Clark Electronics currently incurs short-run losses, but it continues to operate.
a. What must be true for Clark to continue to operate in the short run?
b. Draw a correctly labeled graph, and show each of the following for Clark.
i. The profit-maximizing price and output
ii. Area of loss
C. Assume Clark is maximizing profit. What will happen to its total revenue if Clark raises its price? Explain.
d. If demand for the new device increases, explain what will happen to each of the following in the short run.
i. Profit-maximizing output
ii. Total cost
Solution :
c. MC=MR is the profit maximizing equilibrium point. The price rise beyond that is likely to raise the total revenue. But the total cost might increase equally or more then that to nullify or decrease the profit.
d. (i). The demand increase implies that the AR (demand) curve shifts rightwards. This will increase the equilibrium price.
(ii). Change in demand does not affect the total cost.
a. Monopoly might continue to produce in short earn even if its AR < AC. It continues to do so until shut down point. It refers that production continued until average revenue (AR) is greater than equal to the average variable cost (AVC). The monopoly is a market with a single seller.
This market's average revenue (AR) demand curve is above its marginal curve . The curves are downward sloping, illustrating price demand inverse relationship.
Equilibrium quantity : when the marginal revenue = marginal cost
Equilibrium price : equilibrium quantity corresponding price at AR (demand ) curve.
How does a subsidy provided for a good affect consumers?
A
It protects consumers from an unsafe good.
B
It lowers prices for the good but may reduce choice.
C
It decreases supply of the good, so consumers pay more for it.
D
It increases consumers’ incomes and encourages consumers to buy the good.
Answer: D. It increases consumers’ incomes and encourages consumers to buy the good
Explanation:
A subsidy is an amount of money that is given by the government to producers or farmers so as to increase the production of a particular good and also to reduce the price of the good.
Subsidies affect consumers as it increases consumers’ incomes and encourages consumers to buy the good. This is because the subsidized goods will be sold at a cheaper price which means that the income of the consumer is increased and also encourages more purchases of the good.

For the past year, the margin used in ROI calculations was: _________
Answer:
the margin in the calculation of the return on investment is 6.84%
Explanation:
The computation of the margin in the calculation of the return on investment is as follows;
Margin = Net Operating income ÷ Sales
= $65,000 ÷ $950,000
= 6.84%
Hence, the margin in the calculation of the return on investment is 6.84%
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
