The premium on a three-year insurance policy expiring on December 31, 20x11, was paid in total on January 1, 20x9. The original payment was initially debited to a prepaid asset account. The appropriate journal entry has been recorded on December 31, 20x9. The balance in the prepaid asset account on December 31, 20x9 should be Select one: a. The same as the original payment b. The same as it would have been if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account c. Higher than if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account d. Zero Check
Answer:
b. The same as it would have been if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account
Explanation:
We can use an example to explain this:
original journal entry to record a 3 year insurance policy on January 1 is:
Dr Prepaid insurance 3,600
Cr Cash 3,600
Adjusting entry on December 31
Dr Insurance expense 1,200
Cr Prepaid insurance 1,200
balance of prepaid insurance = $3,600 - $1,200 = $2,400
If instead of recording prepaid insurance on January 1, you recorded insurance expense:
Dr Insurance expense 3,600
Cr Cash 3,600
Adjusting entry on December 31
Dr Prepaid insurance 2,400
Cr Insurance expense 2,400
balance of prepaid insurance = $2,400
The Weber Company purchased a mining site for $1,750,000 on July 1. The company expects to mine ore for the next 10 years and anticipates that a total of 400,000 tons will be recovered. The estimated residual value of the property is $150,000. During the first year, the company extracted 6,500 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
The correct solution is "$26,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Cost
= $1,750,000
Salvage value
= $150,000
First Year Extraction
= 6,500
Total Extraction
= 400,000
Now,
⇒ [tex]Depletion \ Expense = (Cost - Salvage \ value)\times (\frac{First \ Year \ Extraction}{Total \ extraction} )[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ = [tex](1,750,000 - 150,000)\times (\frac{6,500}{400,000} )[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]1,600,000\times 0.01625[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]26,000[/tex] ($)

With regards to the questions above, check the attachments for the solution.
A company has the following ratios:
Current ratio: 2.1 to 1.0
Accounts receivable turnover ratio. 350 to 1 Debt/ equity ratio. 20.0 to 1 Interest coverage ratio 7.0 to 1 Inventory turnover ratio 9.0 to 1 The industry averages are: A company has the following ratios: Current ratio: 4.1 to 1.0 Accounts receivable turnover ratio. 8 to 1 Debt/ equity ratio. 4.0 to 1 Interest coverage ratio 9.0 to 1 Inventory turnover ratio 8.0 to 1. Based on the above items, please compare and contrast the ratios between the company and the industry.
Required:
Analyze reasons why there could be differences and the overall financial position of the company. Also, what of the ways the company could finance the company without significant negative changes to the above financial metrics (ratios)?
Answer:
The company has current ratio almost half than the industry average. This is an indication that the company has lesser current assets than industry average. The ability of the company to meet its short term obligations is not suitable as the other companies in the industry are maintaining double current ratio. The ratio should never go below 1 as if it does the company may face its operational financing and working capital management issues.
The debt to equity ratio is significantly higher than the other companies of the same industry. The industry average is 4 whereas the company has ratio 20. This is significantly higher which indicates that there is heavy burden of debt on the company. High debt/ equity ratio indicates high risks. Investors avoid investing in such companies which have high debt/ equity ratio.
Explanation:
The company can go for equity financing as it will also help reduce its debt / equity ratio. The company will become less riskier and financing will be divided in debt and equity. The debt burden on assets will be reduced. There can be reduction in certain debt covenants. The company can use equity financing to fund its operations as well as purchase of non current assets to increase production and ultimately profitability of the company could rise.

The Aleutian Company uses departmental overhead rates. The Fabrication Department uses machine hours for an allocation base, and the Assembly Department uses labor hours. What is the Assembly Department overhead rate per labor hour
Answer:
$4.425 per labor hour
Explanation:
Note: The full question has been attached as picture
Product Rings Labor Hours = 1030 units x 4 labor hours per unit
Product Rings Labor Hours = 4,120 hours
Product Dings Labor Hours = 1810 units x 7 Labor hour per unit
Product Dings Labor Hours = 12,670 hours
Hence, the total Labor Hours = 4,120 hours + 12,670 hours = 16,790 hours
The total Assembly Department Overhead is estimated to be $74,300. Hence, the Assembly Department Overhead rate per labor hour = Total Overhead / Total Labor Hours
Assembly Department Overhead rate = $74,300 / 16,790
Assembly Department Overhead rate = $4.425
Mountain Cycle specializes in making custom mountain bikes. The company founder, PJ Steffan, is having a hard time making the business profitable. Knowing that you have good business knowledge and solid financial sense, PJ has come to you for advice.
Project Focus PJ would like you to determine how many bikes Mountain Cycle needs to sell per year to break even (Profit =0). Solve using the followings.
Fixed cost equals $65,000
Variable cost equals $1,575
Unit Bike price equals $2,500
Answer and Explanation:
Break even point in units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit)
Given fixed cost =$ 65000
Variable cost per unit =$1575
Selling price per unit =$2500
Break even point in units= $65000/$2500-1575
=$65000/925
=70.2703
= 70 units
Therefore it would take 70units of sale of products for the company to break-even that is not make loss or profit
Profit/loss =0
What are the five steps to understanding how foreign born labor impacts native born workers?
Answer:
HOW MUCH DO FOREIGN - BORN WORKERS EARN?
Foreign-born individuals typically earn less than native-born individuals — on average, 83 cents for every dollar earned by their native-born counterparts. That disparity generally holds true across age groups and education levels, with one significant exception. Foreign-born individuals with a bachelor’s degree or more had median weekly earnings of $1,362 per week in 2018, about $53 per week higher than the median for the native-born population with that level of education.

Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.
Answer: escalation of commitment
Explanation:
Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.
From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.

You are analyzing two companies that manufacture electronic toys--Like Games Inc. and Our Play Inc. Like Games was launched eight years ago, whereas Our Play is a relatively new company that has been in operation for only the past two years. However, both companies have an equal market share with sales of $200,000 each. You've gathered up company data to compare Like Games and Our Play. Last year, the average sales for industry competitors was $510,000. As an analyst, you want to make comments on the expected performance of these two companies in the coming year. You've collected data from the companies' financial statements. This information is listed as follows:
Like Games
Accounts receivable: 5,400
Net fixed assets: 110,000
Total assets: 190,000
Our Play
Accounts receivable: 7,800
Net fixed assets: 160,000
Total assets: 250,000
Industry Average
Accounts receivable: 7,700
Net fixed assets: 433,500
Total assets: 469,200
Using this information, complete the following statements in your analysis.
1. A _____ days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, _____ is collecting cash from its customers faster than _____, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is _____ than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is _____ that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is _____, which is _____, than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Answer:
1. A LOWER days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, LIKE GAMES is collecting cash from its customers faster than OUR PLAY, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is LOWER than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is HIGHER that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is 1.05, which is LOWER than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Explanation:
DSO = (accounts receivable / credit sales) x 365
DSO industry = (7,700 / 510,000) x 365 = 5.5 days
DSO Like Games = (5,400 / 200,000) x 365 = 9.9 days
DSO Our Play = (7,800 / 200,000) x 365 = 14.2 days
Fixed asset turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets
Fixed asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 433,500 = 1.18
Fixed asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 110,000 = 1.82
Fixed asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 160,000 = 1.25
Total asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets
Total asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 469,200 = 1.09
Total asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 190,000 = 1.05
Total asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 250,000 = 0.8

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,750 units at $40 per unit. Variable expenses are 30% of the selling price. If total fixed expenses are $39,000, the degree of operating leverage is:
Answer:
1,750=$40=1,750×40=70-30÷100×39,000=58,3
Explanation:
is total cost of production can be fixed cost +variable cost
Answer:
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
Explanation:
To calculate the degree of operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:
degree of operating leverage= Total contribution margin / operating income
Total Contribution margin= 1,750*(40*0.7)= $49,000
Operating income= 49,000 - 39,000= $10,000
degree of operating leverage= 49,000/10,000
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
One of the disadvantages of the sole proprietorship is related to the fact that the amount of equity capital that can be raised to finance the business is limited to the owner's personal wealth. ____________ is about determining how the firm should finance or pay for assets. The risk manager monitors and manages the firm's risk exposure in financial and commodity markets and the firm's relationships with insurance providers. Privately held, or closely held, corporations are typically owned by a small number of investors, and their shares are not traded publicly.
Answer:
The missing word is: Financial Risk
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Financial Risk" is used in the field of business and finances in order to explain that the companies, and also the government, have to find a way to determine how the firm will finance itself so that they could pay for all the assets they own. Moreover, this financial term implicates the loss of the money that can happen when the company needs to invest in assets and the operations may not go right. So that is why that it is a concept used to understand the danger that the organization has when it comes to acquire the assets and pay for them.

Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.
Answer:
$1,161.23
since the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds will be priced at a premium
Explanation:
In order to calculate the current market price of the bonds we can use the yield to maturity formula:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

t a sales volume of 36,500 units, Peres Corporation's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $576,700. To the nearest whole dollar, what should be the total sales commissions at a sales volume of 35,000 units? (Assume that this sales volume is within the relevant range.
Answer:
$553,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the total sales commissions
First step is to compute the Sales commission per unit using this formula
Sales commission per unit = Total sales commissions ÷ Unit sales
Let plug in the formula
Sales commission per unit= $576,700 ÷ 36,500
Sales commission per unit= $15.80
Last step is to find the Total sales commission using this formula
Total sales commission = Sales commission per unit × Unit sales
Let plug in the formula
Total sales commission= $15.80 × 35,000
Total sales commission=$553,000
Therefore the Total sales commission will be $553,000
Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)
What is the optimal production quantity for the card?
Answer:
9644
Explanation:
cost of paper on which a card is printed = $0.40 per card
cost of printing = $0.10 per card
profit made per card sold = $3.75
number of areas where customers are located (n)= 4
mean of customers from each region = 2300
standard deviation for each region = 200
note : each region is independent
The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated going through these steps
first we determine
the cost of card = $0.10 + $0.40 = $0.50
selling value = $3.75
salvage value = 0
next we calculate for the z value
= ( selling value - cost of card) / ( selling price - salvage value )
= ( 3.75 - 0.50 ) / 3.75 = 0.8667
Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV ( 0.8667 )
next we calculate
u = n * mean demand
= 4 * 2300 = 9200
б = [tex]200\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 200 * 2
= 400
Hence optimal production quantity for the card
= u + Z (0.8667 ) * б
= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400
= 9644.3704
≈ 9644

A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900. The South Division's divisional segment margin is $42,800 and the West Division's divisional segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions
Answer:
$45,800
Explanation:
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = South division's divisional segment margin + west division's divisional segment - corporation's net operating income
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $45,800
Despite its status as one of the richest countries in the world, Japan a. has a very low level of productivity. b. has few natural resources. c. has very little human capital. d. engages in a relatively small amount of international trade.
Answer:
b. has few natural resources.
Explanation:
Japan is one of the largest economies in the world, and even though it is a country with few natural resources, it managed to reach this level because it is a country whose main economic activities are focused on exports, according to production based on the Toyotist system, which is a on-demand manufacturing system, which reduces waste throughout the production process, which guarantees significant advantages. There is also a culture based on quality, innovation, education and technological development.
Japan's high population density constitutes a high human capital for work, which justifies the greater commercialization of goods and services. All of these factors justify how Japan became the world's third largest economy.
The price of a stock is $55 at the beginning of the year and $50 at the end of the year. If the stock paid a $3 dividend and inflation was 3%, what is the real holding-period return for the year? -3.64% -6.36% -6.44% -11.74%
Answer:
Real holding period return = - 6.44% (Approx)
Explanation:
Holding period return = [Dividend + (Price of share ending - Price of share start)] / Price of share start
Holding period return = [3 + (50-55)] / 55
Holding period return = -2 / 55
Holding period return = -0.0363636
Real holding period return = [(1 + Holding period return)/(1 + Inflation)] - 1
Real holding period return = [(1 - 0.0363636)/(1+0.03)]-1
Real holding period return = - 0.06443
Real holding period return = - 6.44% (Approx)
At the local banking institution the branch manager doubles as the IT "go-to" by handling printer setups, resettingLAN passwords, and periodically monitoring the branch’s server health. Last week she noted that a handful of herbranch’s customers complained about suspicious activity in their checking accounts. She knew that the main branchwould handle it and repair any fraudulent charges. She also knew better than to bother the main branch with these customer complaints because the main branch is always ahead of things like this and quickly reminds her that they seewhat she does. Her only response, therefore, was to assure her customers that their accounts would be repaired withinten business days.The most likely law or regulation that becomes an issue upon her discovery i:__________.
a. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act’s Safeguards Rule
b. The Good Samaritan Law
c. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Answer: d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Explanation:
The Federal Trade Commission has a Red Flags Rules that requires that financial institutions like Banks should implement a program that is capable of flagging instances of suspicious activity that could point to identity theft in the covered accounts that it holds.
This bank's customers are seeing some suspicious activity in their checking accounts which could point to a case of identity theft. The Red Flags rule could therefore be the most relevant rule to the manager's discovery.
Assume that Ray is 38 years old and has 27 years for saving until he retires. He expects an APR of 7.5% on his investments. How much does he need to save if he puts money away annually in equal end-of-the-year amounts to achieve a future value of $1,200,000 dollars in 27 years' time
Answer:
Annual deposit= $14,882.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $1,200,000
Number of periods= 27 years
Interest rate= 7.5%
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,200,000*0.075) / [(1.075^27) - 1]
A= $14,882.44
University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs
455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs
Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Printing = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%
Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs
315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.
Maintenance = 315 / 2,100 = 15%
Printing = 294 / 2,100 = 14%
Developing = 1,491 / 2,100 = 71%

CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?
Answer:
$3.08 per square foot
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot
First step is to find the common area
Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000
Second step is to find Common area operating costs
Common area operating costs = 700,000×8
Common area operating costs= $5.6 million
Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000
Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula
In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet
Let plug in the formula
In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000
In-line CAM charges= $3.08
Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.
