If one starts a sole proprietorship, it remains a good way to learn about the operations of a small business, but it is not the only sure way. Before embarking on the entrepreneurship journey, the prospective business person can gain invaluable experience by reading about other sole proprietorships, both the successful and unsuccessful ones. Doing so equips the person with the best information required to start the race. It remains a comfortable journey with all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Menning Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. The company has provided the following data for June:
Direct materials $78,750
Direct labor cost $94,000
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $61,275
Manufacturing overhead cost applied $65,800
Inventories: Beginning Ending
Work in process $17,500 $19,850
Finished goods $61,500 $38,250
The cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for August and that has been adjusted for any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closest to: __________
a. $254,925
b. $263,975
c. $236,200
d. $259,450
Answer:
Adjusted COGS= $254,925
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 17,500 + 78,750 + 94,000 + 65,800 - 19,850
cost of goods manufactured= $236,200
Now, the COGS:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 61,500 + 236,200 - 38,250
COGS= $259,450
Finally, the over/under applied overhead and the adjustment:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 61,275 - 65,800
Overapplied overhead= $4,525
As overhead was overapplied, COGS must be reduced:
Adjusted COGS= 259,450 - 4,525
Adjusted COGS= $254,925
If MM's proposition II without taxes is true, what is the return to investors who invest $20 in a stock, borrow another $20 to buy a share of stock and pay 6% on the borrowed money if the EPS is $1.50?
a. 6.0%.
b. 9.0%.
c. 12.0%.
d. 15.0%.
Answer:
b. 9.0%.
Explanation:
The computation of the return on the investment is shown below:
Net earning is
= Earning per share × number of shares - interest paid
= (1.50 × 2) - ($20 × 6%)
= $1.80
Now the return on the investment is
= Net earning ÷ own investment
= $1.80 ÷ $20 × 100
= 9%
Hence, the return on the investment is 9%
Musterl Manufacturing Corporation (MMC) has an issue of 10-year, 6% annual coupon bonds outstanding. The bonds, which were originally issued 20 years ago, have a face value (FV) of $1,000, a yield to maturity (YTM) of 6%, and are noncallable. What is the current market price of MMC’s bonds? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
When the coupon rate and the yield to maturity are the same, a bond always trades at par.
In this scenario, the bond coupon is 6% and so is the Yield to maturity. the bond price must therefore be $1,000.
If the yield to maturity was lower than the coupon rate, the bond would have been priced above $1,000 as it would be a premium bond and if the YTM had been higher than the coupon rate, the price would be lower than $1,000 as it would be a discount bond.

b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The communication process can be regarded as process of passing information from sender to receiver,
It consist of four key components which are;
✓ encoding
✓medium of transmission
✓decoding
✓ feedback.
Decoding can be regarded as reverse process of listening to words as well as thinking about those words, follow by transformation of those words into mental images
Encoding can be regarded as
process involving taking an idea or mental image, then associate that idea or image with words, follow by speaking those words so that message
can be conveyed. communication can not be complete until the receiver confirms the sent message by the sender , by receiving and understood it.It should be noted that Before communicating, the sender must encode the idea that he or she wants to communicate, or put it into some form or code that he or she hopes the other person can understand.
On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm's present market value capital structure, shown below, is considered to be optimal. Assume that there is no short-term debt.
Debt $30,000,000
Common equity 30,000,000
Total capital $60,000,000
New bonds will have an 10% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders' required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so $1.20/$30 = 4%). The marginal corporate tax rate is 30%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity?
Assuming there is sufficient cash flow such that Tysseland can maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC?
Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC?
I. rs and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
II. rs and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.
III. rs will increase and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.
IV. rs will decrease and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
V. rs and the WACC will not be affected by flotation costs of new equity.
Answer:
Tysseland Company
1. In order to maintain the present capital structure, the new investment must be financed by common equity to the tune of $15 million (50% of $30 million).
2. Assuming there is sufficient cash flow such that Tysseland can maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, its WACC = 9.5%
3. IV. rs will decrease and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total market capitalization = $60 million
Debt Common Equity Total
Market value $30,000,000 $30,000,000 $60,000,000
Weight 50% 50% 100%
New financing 15,000,000 15,000,000 30,000,000
New market cap. $45,000,000 $45,000,000 $90,000,000
Coupon rate of new bonds issued at par = 10%
Selling price of common stock = $30 per share
Stock's required rate of return = 12%
Estimated Dividend yield = 4%
Expected constant growth rate = 8%
Expected dividend per share = $1.20 ($30 * 4%)
Corporate tax rate = 30%
Cost of Equity = the stockholders' required rate of return = 12% or
= (Dividend/Price) + g (growth rate)
= ($1.20/$30) + 0.08
= 12%
After-Tax Cost of Debt = Before Tax Cost of Debt × (1-Tax Rate)
10 × (1 - 0.3)= 7%
WACC = (Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity) + (Weight of Debt × After Tax Cost of Debt)
(0.5 × 12%) + (0.5 × 7%) = 9.5%

g Determine the amount to be added to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in each of the following cases and indicate the ending balance in each case. a. Credit balance of $370 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as
Answer:
Missing word "is estimated as $8,820. Amount added Ending balance b. Credit balance of $450 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Bad debt expense is estimated at 2% of credit sales, which totaled $1,111,000 for the year. Amount added Ending balance"
a. Amount added = Balance as per aging method - Credit balance
Amount added = $8,820 - $370
Amount added = $8,450
So, Amount added = $8,450, Ending balance = $8,820
b. Amount added = 2% * Credit sale
Amount added = 2% * $1,111,000
Amount added = $22,220
Ending balance = $22,220 + $370
Ending balance = $21,850

Reasons why South African post office taking private courier companies to court
Answer:
Explanation:
As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.
PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.
The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.
Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.
“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.
“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.

Tan Corporation of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 9,600,000 $ 26,000,000 Net operating income $ 672,000 $ 2,340,000 Average operating assets $ 3,200,000 $ 13,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 16%. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The return on investment is
= Margin turnover
= Net operating income ÷ sales × sales ÷ average operating assets
For Osaka
= $672,000 ÷ $9,600,000 × $9,600,000 ÷ $3,200,000
= 21%
For Yokohama
= $2,340,000 ÷ $2,600,000 × $2,600,000 ÷ $13,000,000
= 18%
2. The residual income is
= Net operating income - (average operating assets × rate of return)
For Osaka
= $672,000 - ($3,200,000 × 16%)
= $160,000
For yokohama
= $2,340,000 - ($13,000,000 × 16%)
= $260,000
For tax reasons, your client wishes to purchase an annuity that pays $60,000 each year for 11 years, with the first payment in one year. At an interest rate of 12% and focusing on time value of money without consideration of any fees, how much would the client need to invest now?
Equivalent problem structure (in neutral time-value-of-money terms): What is the present value of an annuity that pays $60,000 each year for 11 years, assuming a discount rate of 12% and the first payment occurs one year from now? Equivalent problem structure (as a borrower): How much could you borrow today in exchange for paying back $60,000 each year for 11 years, assuming an interest rate of 12% and the first payment occurs one year from now?
Answer:
$356,261.95
Explanation:
Interest rate per annum = 12%
No of years = 11
No of corresponding per annum = 1
Interest rate per period = 12% (12%/1)
No of period = 11
Payment per period = $60,000
1.12^11
Investment today = P * [1 - (1/(1+r)^n)]/r
Investment today = 60,000 * {1 - (1/(1+0.12)^11)] / 12%
Investment today = 60,000 * {1 - (1/3.47855) / 0.12
Investment today = 60,000 * {1 - 0.2874761) / 0.12
Investment today = 60,000 * 0.7125239/0.12
Investment today = 60,000 * 5.937699167
Investment today = 356261.95002
Investment today = $356,261.95

From June 2008 oil was at a high of $144.78 per barrel. During the period from April 2011 until July of 2014, the price of oil hovered between about $115.32 per barrel and about $105.22 a barrel. Then, starting in August 2014 oil began a precipitous fall in price from the $105.22 to $33.62 a barrel in January 2016. Although the U.S. has great amounts of oil that can be brought out of the ground by “fracking,” by the beginning of 2016 many of the workers in the U.S. oil exploration and drilling industry were out of work and tremendous amounts of oil exploration equipment was sitting in the equivalent of “used car lots” to be sold.
Answer:
The explanation of the subject is described in the following part of the discussion.
Explanation:
The idea which should generally be used in this instance seems to be that individuals are generally motivated by motivations and take advantage of chances to improve. Because when a group continues operating, several tasks have been needed to do operate effectively. This should lead to labor revenue.Whenever companies identify an expense as well as a speedier way to accomplish operations, they will most surely go to it. The above leaves the job to be done as well as no machinery to operate and even if the device does not operate, these same commodities are not being usedGray, Stone, and Lawson open an accounting practice on January 1, 2016, in San Diego, California, to be operated as a partnership. Gray and Stone will serve as the senior partners because of their years of experience. To establish the business, Gray, Stone, and Lawson contribute cash and other properties valued at $410,000, $340,000, and $170,000, respectively. An articles of partnership agreement is drawn up. It has the following stipulations:
Personal drawings are allowed annually up to an amount equal to 10 percent of the beginning capital balance for the year.
Profits and losses are allocated according to the following plan:
1. A salary allowance is credited to each partner in an amount equal to $8 per billable hour worked by that individual during the year.
2. Interest is credited to the partners’ capital accounts at the rate of 12 percent of the average monthly balance for the year (computed without regard for current income or drawings).
3. An annual bonus is to be credited to Gray and Stone. Each bonus is to be 10 percent of net income after subtracting the bonus, the salary allowance, and the interest. Also included in the agreement is the provision that there will be no bonus if there is a net loss or if salary and interest result in a negative remainder of net income to be distributed.
4. Any remaining partnership profit or loss is to be divided evenly among all partners.
Because of financial shortfalls encountered in getting the business started, Gray invests an additional $9,200 on May 1, 2016. On January 1, 2017, the partners allow Monet to buy into the partnership. Monet contributes cash directly to the business in an amount equal to a 20 percent interest in the book value of the partnership property subsequent to this contribution. The partnership agreement as to splitting profits and losses is not altered upon Monet’s entrance into the firm; the general provisions continue to be applicable. The billable hours for the partners during the first three years of operation follow:
2016 2017 2018
Gray 2,020 4,200 2,130
Stone 1,680 2,300 1,860
Lawson 3,700 1,620 1,550
Monet 0 1,430 1,820
The partnership reports net income for 2016 through 2018 as follows:
2016 $98,000
2017 (44,400)
2018 236,000
Each partner withdraws the maximum allowable amount each year.
A. Determine the allocation of income for each of these three years.
B. Prepare in appropriate form a statement of partners’ capital for the year ending December 31, 2018.

The journal entry a company uses to record fully funded pension rights for its salaried employees at the end of the year is
a. debit Pension Expense; credit Unfunded Pension Liability and Cash.
b. debit Pension Expense; credit Unfunded Pension Liability.
c. debit Pension Expense; credit Cash.
d. debit Salary Expense; credit Cash.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
The correct option to the question is C.
Debit pension expense and credit cash.
Because the pension expense account is increasing, we debit. Increase in expense goes to the debit side.
And because cash is reducing by paying out pension expense from there, we credit the cash account. Decrease in asset(like cash) goes to the credit side.
If inflation increases in a economy what happens
Answer:
The purchasing power of their currency decreases
Aka everything, on average, gets more expensive and each unit of currency is worth less
Explanation:
If the dollar contribution margin per unit is increased by 10%, total fixed expenses is decreased by 20%, and all other factors remain the same, net operating income will:
Answer:
Operating profit increases by $11,000
Explanation:
Missing word "A company has provided the following data: Sales 3,000 units Sales Price $70 per unit Variable Cost $50 per unit Fixed Cost $25,000"
Particulars Status quo
Sales $210,000 (3000*70)
Less: Variable cost $150,000 (3000*50)
Contribution margin $60,000
Less: Fixed costs $25,000
Operating profit $35,000
Alternate profit = Alternate contribution margin - Alternate fixed cost
Alternate profit = [(Status quo contribution margin + %change) − (Alternate fixed cost-%change)]
Alternate profit = ($60,000+10%)−($25,000−20%)
Alternate profit = $46,000
Change in profit = Alternate profit - Status quo profit
Change in profit = $46,000 - $35,000
Change in profit = $11,000
So, the operating profit increases by $11,000
Analyze and compare Amazon to Netflix Amazon, Inc. (AMZN) is one of the largest Internet retailers in the world. Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) provides digital streaming and DVD rentals in the United States. Amazon and Netflix compete in streaming and digital services; however, Amazon also sells many other products online. The cash, temporary investments, operating expenses, and depreciation expense from recent financial statements were reported as follows for both companies (in millions):
Amazon Netflix
Balance sheet year:
Cash $19,334 1,468
Short term investment 6647 266
Income Statement:
Operating expense 131,801 8,451
Depreciation expense 8,116 4,925
Required:
a. Determine the days' cash on hand for Amazon and Netflix.
b. Interpret the results
Answer:
a. We have:
Days' cash on hand for Amazon = 77 days
Days' cash on hand for Netflix = 180 days
b. The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales, while Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.
Explanation:
a. Determine the days' cash on hand for Amazon and Netflix.
Days' cash on hand = (Cash + Short term investment) / ((Operating expense - Depreciation expense) / 365) …………… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Days' cash on hand for Amazon = ($19,334 + $6,647) / (($131,801 - $8,116) / 365) = 77 days
Days' cash on hand for Netflix = ($1,468 + $266) / (($8,451 - $4,925) / 365) = 180 days
b. Interpret the results
The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.
However, the results show that Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.
On July 1, 2020, Sarasota Company purchased for $5,760,000 snow-making equipment having an estimated useful life of 5 years with an estimated salvage value of $240,000. Depreciation is taken for the portion of the year the asset is used. Complete the form below by determining the depreciation expense and year-end book values for 2014 and 2015 using the
1. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.
2. Double-declining balance method.
a.
Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method 2014 2015
Equipment $2,880,000 $2,880,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation
Year-End Book Value
Depreciation Expense for the Year
b.
Double-Declining Balance Method 2014 2015
Equipment $2,880,000 $2,880,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation
Year-End Book Value
Depreciation Expense for the Year
Assume the company had used straight-line depreciation during 2014 and 2015. During 2016, the company determined that the equipment would be useful to the company for only one more year beyond 2016. Salvage value is estimated at $160,000.
Compute the amount of depreciation expense for the 2016 income statement.
Answer:
1. We have:
Depreciation expense for 2014 = $920,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = $1,472,000
2. We have:
Depreciation expense for 2014 = $1,152,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = $1,843,200
3. Depreciation expense for 2016 = $1,972,000
Explanation:
1. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method.
Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000
Sum of the year digits = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Depreciation expense for a year = Depreciable amount * (Remaining years / Sum of the year digits) ………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Depreciation expense for 2014 = $5,520,000 * (5 / 15) * (6 / 12) = $920,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = $5,520,000 * (4 / 15) = $1,472,000
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $920,000 + $1,472,000 = $2,392,000
Therefore, we have:
Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method 2014 2015
Equipment $5,760,000 $5,760,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation (920,000) (2,392,000)
Year-End Book Value 4,600,000 3,128,000
Depreciation Expense for the Year 920,000 1,472,000
2. Double-declining balance method.
Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = (1 / Number of estimated useful life) * 2 = (1 / 5) * 2 = 0.40, or 40%
Depreciation expense for 2014 = Equipment cost * Double-declining depreciation rate = $5,760,000 * 40% * (6 / 12) = $1,152,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = (Equipment cost - 2014 Depreciation expense) * Double-declining depreciation rate = ($5,760,000 - $1,152,000) * 40% = $1,843,200
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $1,152,000 + $1,843,200= $2,995,200
Note that under Double-declining balance method, the salvage value is not considered until the last year of the asset.
Therefore, we have:
Double-Declining Balance Method 2014 2015
Equipment $5,760,000 $5,760,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation (1,152,000) (2,995,200)
Year-End Book Value 3,456,000 2,073,600
Depreciation Expense for the Year 1,152,000 1,843,200
3. Compute the amount of depreciation expense for the 2016 income statement.
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of estimated useful life = 1 / 5 = 0.20, or 20%
Depreciable amount = Equipment cost – Salvage value = $5,760,000 - $240,000 = $5,520,000
Depreciation expense for 2014 = Depreciable amount * Straight line depreciation rate * (6 / 12) = $5,520,000 * 20% * (6 / 12) = $552,000
Depreciation expense for 2015 = Depreciable amount * Straight line depreciation rate = $5,520,000 * 20% = $1,104,000
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $552,000 + $1,104,000 = $1,656,000
Net book value at end of 2015 = Equipment cost - Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2015 = $5,760,000 - $1,656,000 = $4,104,000
Depreciation expense for 2016 = (Net book value at end of 2015 - New Salvage value) / Remaining useful years = ($4,104,000 - $160,000) / 2 = $1,972,000
Derk owns 960 shares of stock in Rose Corporation. The remaining 2,240 shares of Rose are owned as follows: 320 by Derk's daughter Rosalie, 640 by Derk's aunt Penelope, and 1,280 by a partnership in which Derk holds an interest of 90%. Determine the number of shares that Derk owns (directly and indirectly) in Rose Corporation. Derk is deemed to own (directly and indirectly) __________ shares in Rose Corporation.
Answer:
2,432 shares
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the number of shares that Derk owns (directly and indirectly) in Rose Corporation
First step is to determine the Shares in partnerships holding
Using this formula
Shares in partnerships holding = Interest rate * Partnership
Let plug in the formula
Shares in partnerships holding = 90% * 1,280
Shares in partnerships holding = $1152
Now let determine the Total shares deemed to be own
Total shares deemed to be own = Own shares + Daughter shares + Shares in partnerships holding
Let plug in the formula
Total shares deemed to be own = 960 + 320 + 1152
Total shares deemed to be own = 2432
Therefore Derk is deemed to own (directly and indirectly) 2432 shares in Rose Corporation.
A one-year insurance policy was purchased on June 1 for $2,400. The adjusting entry on December 31 would be:____________. (If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.) Dec. 31 i. Accounts Payable ii. Cash iii. Insurance Expense iv. Insurance Payable v. Prepaid Insurance
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
Debit Insurance Expense $1,400
Credit Prepaid Insurance $1,400
To record the insurance expense for the year (7 months).
Explanation:
This adjustment will cause the Prepaid Insurance account to remain $1,000. This balance represents the insurance cost for 5 months having deducted the insurance cost for 7 months from June 1 to December 31. So, in line with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, only $1,400 Insurance was incurred for the current year. The balance will be charged to the account when the service is consumed.
How are supply and demand influenced by the labor market? What role does the Labor union or Government play in this? Please connect with the case in your country.
Answer:
How do supply and demand influence pricing?
According to the supply and demand model, a good price is when the quantity desired equals the quantity supplied.
The economic model of supply and demand is used to determine market prices. In a competitive market, the quantity required by the customer (at the current price) will be equal to the amount supplied by the manufacturer (at the current price), resulting in price and quantity financial balance.
Explanation:
Role of government in the labour market
1. The government should place a strong emphasis on modernising manufacturing methods and risk-free labour procedures.
2. Formulation and implementation of labour legislation to increase work opportunities for UAE citizens and others.
3. Close the wage, productivity, work ethic, and work hours disparity between the private and public sectors.
4. Wage minimums and maximums are in effect.
5. The government should concentrate on improving the labour market in terms of skill development, English language acquisition in order to compete in the global marketplace, the ability to learn from a young age, job stability, and the assurance of future wage increases.
All of the government interference resulted in a rational labour market. Which are both, directly and indirectly, related to the UAE's economic development. This created healthy competition in the economy, resulting in an increase in the UAE government's GDP. This intervention in the labour market gives workers assurance about a brighter future for their families, which encourages them to work more directly for corporations and companies, and indirectly for the UAE.
