Answers

Answer 1

Retention of earnings and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the common stock of Smashing of $245,000. Removal of the annual $12,250 excess of fair value over book value allotment.

How is the fair value of NCI determined?

To calculate the NCI of the income statement, multiply the subsidiary's net income by the NCI percentage. Consider, for instance, that the company owns 70% of the subsidiary. Imagine a minority partner owning 30% of the company's subsidiaries and a $1 million net profit. $300k would be the NCI, which is determined as $1M x 30%.

Initial investment cost = 80% x $700,000 = $560,000

Fair value over book value in excess = $245,000

Allocation per year = Excess of fair value over book value / Remaining covenant life

Allocation per year = $245,000 / 20 years = $12,250 per year

Beginning balance = $560,000

Add: Share of Smashing's net income = 80% x $150,000 = $120,000

Add: Inventory markup on purchases = 80% x 40% x $100,000 x 60% = $19,200

Less: Share of Smashing's dividends declared = 80% x $35,000 = $28,000

Less: Allocation of excess of fair value over book value = $12,250

Dollar-value LIFO is an accounting method used for inventory that follows the last-in-first-out model. Dollar-value LIFO uses this approach with all figures in dollar amounts, rather than in inventory units.

It provides a different view of the balance sheet than other accounting methods such as first-in-first-out (FIFO). In an inflationary environment, it can more closely track the dollar value effect of the cost of goods sold (COGS) and the resulting effect on net income than counting the inventory items in terms of units.

Which of the following correctly summarizes how Bill's mortgage is different from Hillary's (all other things being equal)?
- Bill's 30 year mortgage has a higher interest rate, lower
monthly payments and higher overall interest payments.
It builds equity more slowly than Hillary's mortgage.
- Hillary's 15 year mortgage has a higher interest rate, higher

equity more quickly than Hillary's mortgage.
- None of the answers are correct

Answers

The difference between Bill's mortgage and Hillary's mortgage (assuming all other things being equal) is that Bill's 30-year mortgage has a lower interest rate, lower payments, and lower overall interest payments. It builds equity more slowly than Hillary's mortgage.

A fixed-rate mortgage is a type of mortgage in which the interest rate stays the same for the life of the loan. It is one of the most traditional types of mortgage loans. They are usually the most common types of loans given to homebuyers. Fixed-rate mortgages usually come in 15-year or 30-year terms. In addition, they are available in other lengths as well. A conventional mortgage is a type of mortgage loan that is not backed by a government agency such as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

A conventional loan is a home loan that is not backed by the government, which means that the lender takes on the risk of the borrower defaulting on the loan. Equity is the value of your house minus the amount you still owe on the loan. It is essentially the amount of the house that you "own" outright. Over time, as you pay off your mortgage, your equity in the property will grow. Equity can be built in several ways, including making regular mortgage payments, making extra payments on the principal, and taking advantage of home price appreciation.

Answers

Annuity B has the higher payment of them all. This can be calculated through the present value. The correct option is B.  

What is the payment of Annuity?


Annuity A has the higher payment. An annuity is an agreement in which an individual pays a specific amount of money to an insurance company or a financial institution in exchange for future payments at regular intervals.

For a given present value, an annuity with a higher number of payments will always have a smaller payment than one with a smaller number of payments.

All other things being equal, an annuity with a smaller number of payments would have a greater payment than one with a greater number of payments.

In this scenario, both annuities have a present value of $100,000, and the only difference is the number of payments. Since annuity A has 20 payments and annuity B has 18 payments, annuity A has a lower payment than annuity B.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answers

The correct example is:  Any process where it takes a week or longer to vary all inputs. Typically this would apply to a small business, such as a neighborhood restaurant or small retail store. (option D)

In a production process where it takes a week or longer to vary all inputs, the short run would involve a day or a week, while the long run would involve any period longer than a week.

This typically applies to small businesses such as neighborhood restaurants or small retail stores, where it may take a week or more to adjust all inputs such as labor, equipment, and supplies.

In such cases, the short run is limited by the fixed inputs that cannot be varied within a week, while the long run allows for greater flexibility in adjusting all inputs to optimize production.

In the short run, the business may be able to adjust the number of workers or inventory levels, but in the long run, they may be able to change the size of the physical space or invest in new equipment, which takes more time and planning.

Answers

A unit requires 3 kilograms of materials, which costs $5 per kilogram. Management also desires an ending raw materials inventory every quarter that is 10% of the next quarter's production needs. Management has a goal of achieving an ending finished goods inventory every quarter that is 20% of the next quarter's sales volume.

In Q2, what is the budgeted production in units?

Given data:Desired ending finished goods inventory per quarter = 20% of the next quarter's sales volume Desired ending raw materials inventory per quarter = 10% of the next quarter's production needs Cost of each unit of raw material = $5. Quantity of raw materials required per unit = 3 kilograms. Solution:Let the budgeted production in units be x. Then:Materials required per unit = 3 kilograms Cost of 1 kilogram of raw material = $5. So, the cost of raw materials required per unit = $5 × 3 = $15. Total cost of raw materials required for x units = $15x. Desired ending raw materials inventory per quarter = 10% of the next quarter's production needs Desired ending raw materials inventory in Q2 will be 10% of the production needs of Q3.In other words, desired ending raw materials inventory in Q2 = 10% of (production needs in Q3) = 0.1Q3. Production needs in Q3 will be x + desired ending finished goods inventory in Q2 (as this will be sold in Q3).Therefore, desired ending raw materials inventory in Q2 = 0.1 (x + 0.2Q3)But, Q3 is unknown.Now, we know that materials required for production = quantity of production × materials required per unit Desired ending finished goods inventory per quarter = 20% of the next quarter's sales volume Desired ending finished goods inventory in Q2 will be 20% of the sales volume in Q3.So, desired ending finished goods inventory in Q2 = 0.2Q3 In Q2, the following units are produced:x units will be sold in Q3So, the units in the finished goods inventory at the end of Q3 = 0.2Q3. The total units will be:x + 0.2Q3 = 0.2Q3 + xThe production needs for Q3 will be:x + 0.2Q3 - units sold in Q3 = desired ending finished goods inventory for Q3 (20% of Q4)Therefore,x + 0.2Q3 - x = 0.2Q30.2Q3 = x. Production needs in Q3 = 0.2Q3 + x.Therefore,desired ending raw materials inventory in Q2 = 0.1 (x + 0.2Q3) = 0.1 (0.2Q3 + x + 0.2Q3) = 0.04Q3 + 0.04x. Total cost of raw materials required for x units = $15x. Therefore, the total cost of raw materials required for Q2 will be $15x. Total cost of raw materials desired for ending inventory in Q2 will be the total cost of raw materials required for the production of 0.04Q3 units and 0.2Q3 units (which will be sold in Q3) = $15(0.04Q3 + 0.2Q3) = $3Q3. So, the total cost of raw materials required in Q2 will be:$15x + $3Q3. But, we know that production needs in Q3 = 0.2Q3 + x. Therefore, $15x + $3Q3 = $15x + $3(0.2Q3 + x) = $15x + $0.6Q3 + $3x = $18x + $0.6Q3. Now, budgeted production in units in Q2 = x = 0.6Q3/15 = Q3/25. Therefore, the budgeted production in Q2 is Q3/25 units.

Answers

The most likely statement to be true is that "the most anterior expression of Hoxc6 is the eighth vertebra in mammals".

Hoxc6 is a part of the Hox gene family which is involved in specifying the positional identity of vertebrae in the developing spinal cord. The Hox genes play an essential role in determining the identity of vertebrate embryonic segments by specifying the developmental fates of the cells within these segments. They are expressed in a characteristic pattern along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo.

In mammals, the most anterior expression of Hoxc6 is the eighth vertebra. This means that Hoxc6 is expressed in the eighth vertebra and all vertebrae posterior to it. It is also expressed in the spinal cord segments that innervate these vertebrae.

On the other hand, birds have a different number of vertebrae than mammals, and Hoxc6 is not expressed in the same vertebra at the anterior end of all bird embryos.

(do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Nikita Enterprises has bonds on the market with annual payments, seven years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and are selling for $950. If the bonds are yielding 6%, the coupon rate must be 6.95%.

The coupon rate on a bond refers to the annual interest paid to the bondholder in percentage form. It is calculated by dividing the annual interest payment by the par value of the bond.

To determine the coupon rate for the Nikita Enterprise bond, the formula for calculating bond yields must be used: $950 = $1000 / (1 + r)7.

Using algebra to solve for r, we can rewrite this equation as $950 * (1 + r)7 = $1000. Expanding the left side of this equation, we get $950 + $950 * r * 7 = $1000. Simplifying this, we have $950 * r * 7 = $50, so r = 0.0695 or 6.95%.Therefore, the coupon rate on the bonds is 6.95%.

A price floor is a government-imposed price control that sets a legal minimum on the price of a good or service. When a price floor is set above the equilibrium price, it causes a surplus in the market.

A) quantity supplied will exceed quantity demanded, resulting in a gap between the market price and the price floor. This surplus can cause inefficiencies in the market as suppliers will be unable to sell their entire inventory of goods or services.

A price floor above the equilibrium price can also lead to an increase in the cost of production for producers, as they may need to increase their prices to make a profit. In the long-term, this could lead to an increase in prices and a decrease in economic growth.

Is the inflation rate measured as the percentage change in a price index?

Answers

Yes, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Producer Price Index are two common price indices that are used to calculate the inflation rate (PPI).

The inflation rate gauges the total percentage growth in an economy's level of prices for goods and services over time. Two widely used methods of measuring inflation are the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producer Price Index (PPI). Whereas the PPI measures the average change over time in the prices received by producers for their goods and services, the CPI tracks the prices of a basket of goods and services that consumers purchase. Economists and decision-makers may watch changes in these indices to calculate an economy's inflation rate, which has a big impact on monetary policy, interest rates, and economic growth.

assume that registers $s0 and $s1 hold the values 0x8000000000000000 and 0xd000000000000000, respectively. what is the value of $t0 for the following assembly code? add $t0, $s0, $s1

Answers

The value of $t0 for the given assembly code is 0x5000000000000000.

This is because the instruction "add $t0, $s0, $s1" adds the values held in the registers $s0 and $s1 and stores the result in $t0. Therefore, $t0 will have a value of 0x8000000000000000 + 0xd000000000000000 = 0x5000000000000000.

In more detail, the instruction "add $t0, $s0, $s1" adds the values held in the registers $s0 and $s1 and stores the result in $t0. In this case, $s0 holds the value 0x8000000000000000 and $s1 holds the value 0xd000000000000000.

When added together, these values are equal to 0x5000000000000000. Therefore, $t0 will have a value of 0x5000000000000000. This is because the instruction "add" adds the two values together and stores the result in the target register ($t0).

If you expect interest rates to increase significantly within the next two years, which one of these bonds would you prefer to own?a. Short-term, high coupon
b. PV= -(Current bond price)
c. - Credit quality of the bond
- Tax status of the bond.
d. - Credit quality of the bond
- Tax status of the bond

Answers

The bond that should be preferred if interest rates are expected to rise significantly within the next two years is a Short-term, high coupon. Option A is the correct answer.

Short-term, high-coupon bonds are ideal for investors who expect interest rates to rise shortly. When interest rates increase, bond prices fall, and bondholders suffer losses. As a result, bonds with a shorter maturity are more immune to fluctuations in interest rates than longer-term bonds.

Short-term, high-coupon bonds are typically issued by firms and municipalities that require a quick infusion of funds but do not want to borrow for an extended period. As a result, short-term bonds have lower interest rates than long-term bonds, which makes them a better choice when interest rates are expected to rise soon.

PV = - (Current bond price) indicates that the bond price is a function of its expected future cash flows discounted at the current yield. This formula is used to calculate the current value of a bond. The bond's credit quality and tax status are important considerations when deciding which bond to invest in.

Option A is the correct answer.

why do most auditors use a substantive strategy instead of a reliance strategy for intangible assets

Answers

Most auditors use a substantive strategy instead of a reliance strategy for intangible assets because intangible assets lack physical existence and are not easily verifiable.

What are intangible assets?

Assets with an intangible component lack a physical component. They can be classified as either identifiable or unidentifiable.

Identifiable intangible assets have identifiable and easily separable values, such as copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Unidentifiable intangible assets, on the other hand, have no specific monetary value, such as company reputation and goodwill.

Auditors and intangible assets auditors must keep a record of the intangible assets because they represent an essential component of an organization's value.

Most auditors use a substantive approach rather than a reliance strategy for intangible assets because of their unique nature.

A substantive approach involves performing various tests on an organization's financial statements to assess the completeness and accuracy of the recorded data.

Auditors may choose to use statistical sampling or other data analysis methods in a substantive approach. They may also use data extraction and interrogation tools to test the data for irregularities, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies.

at a price of $11, quantity demanded is 90; and at a price of $9, quantity demanded is 110. since total revenue by the price decrease, demand must be .

Answers

At a price of $11, quantity demanded is 90; and at a price of $9, quantity demanded is 110. Since total revenue remains the same by the price decrease, demand must be unit elastic.

The total revenue (TR) for a product is calculated by multiplying the price (P) by the quantity demanded (Q): TR = P x Q.

At a price of $11, quantity demanded is 90, so TR = $11 x 90 = $990.

At a price of $9, quantity demanded is 110, so TR = $9 x 110 = $990.

Since the total revenue remains the same after the price decrease, the demand must be unit elastic. This means that the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price. In other words, a 10% decrease in price led to a 10% increase in quantity demanded, resulting in no change in total revenue.

= ($27,100 + $164,605) / 2,300 = $74.43
Labor:
Cost per equivalent unit = (Work in process, May 1 + Cost added during May) / Equivalent units of production
= ($44,154 + $29,436) / 2,200 = $41.98
Overhead:
Cost per equivalent unit = (Work in process, May 1 + Cost added during May) / Equivalent units of production
= ($215,019 + $143,346) / 2,100 = $107.20
2. Compute the total cost per equivalent whole unit. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Total Cost per equivalent unit = Cost per equivalent unit for Materials + Cost per equivalent unit for Labor + Cost per equivalent unit for Overhead
= $74.43 + $41.98 + $107.20 = $223.61
