Answer and Explanation:
The adjusting entry is
Bad Debts expense ($22,500 ×10% - $550) $1,700
To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $1,700
(Being adjustment for Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is recorded)
Here bad debt expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the allowance as it reduced the assets
"Suppose that, initially, both Jerome and Anita spend four hours each day doing floral arrangements and two hours each day doing deliveries. Now suppose they change their tasks, so that each individual does nothing but the task in which she or he has a comparative advantage. How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day"
Answer:
hello your question has some missing parts below is the missing part
Davis Florist has two employees, Anita and Jerome, and two tasks that need to be completed, floral arrangements and floral delivery. It takes Anita 30 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and 40 minutes to make a delivery. It takes Jerome 10 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and 30 minutes to make a delivery. Each worker works six hours per day.
answer : 4 Floral arrangements and 2 Floral deliveries
Explanation:
Number of hours spent on Floral arrangements = 4
number of hours spent on Deliveries = 2
The tasks where each staff have comparative advantage is a task they do better and faster when doing both tasks ( i.e. A task with a lower opportunity cost )
For Jerome this task is ; Floral arrangements
For Anita this task is ; Deliveries
because They both have a lower opportunity cost here
Determine How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day
There will be an additional 4 Floral arrangements and 2 additional Floral deliveries
To determine additional Floral arrangement we will consider Jerome
= (( 4 * 60 ) / 10 )
= 24 / 6 = 4
Many commodities have futures markets associated with them. A futures market is a prediction market that aggregates information based on uncertain events that may impact the market, and buyers commit to a financial contract in which they obligate themselves to purchasing a fixed quantity of the asset at a specified price on a certain date. In April, 2019, the national average price of unleaded gasoline was $2.87 per gallon. At the same time, the futures price for a June contract on unleaded gasoline was $2.07 per gallon.
A. The forecasted price in the futures market suggests that unleaded gasoline prices will_____by June of 2019.
B. If the information transmitted in this market is accurate and unbiased, then the predict____the actual price we will see in June.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Unleaded fuel prices are expected to fall by June 2019 according to future demand forecasts.
Since the future price is less than the spot price, it would be better for long-term buyers who can wait for the price to increase because the market is currently in BACKWARDATION. This happens due to a short-term disparity in demand and supply.
b.
If the information in this sector is reliable and impartial, the expected June price will most likely be similar to the real price we will see in June.
It is reliable if the market is accurate and impartial, i.e. the market research on which knowledge flows.
The prices of goods are either integrated or expressed in such a flow of knowledge.
So, if it's unbiased and reliable, the forecast prices would be reasonably similar to the real future price.
Answer:
A. Decline
B. Close to
Explanation:
A. The prediction market for gasoline is much lower so prices would need to decline
B. Due to the information being accurate, it is safe to assume that the predicted price will we close to the actual price
A company issued 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $100 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 4%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price did the bonds sell
Answer:
The bond was sold at $1,136.78.
Explanation:
Annual coupon = Bond face value * Coupon rate = $1000 * 5% = $50
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) .......... (1)
Where;
r = semi-annul interest rate = 4% / 2 = 2%, or 0.02
n = number of period = 20 years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40 semi-annuals
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.02))^40)/0.02) = 27.3554792407382
Present value of coupon = (Annual coupon * Annual coupon discount factor) / 2 = ($50 * 27.3554792407382) / 2 = $683.886981018455
Present value of the face value of the bond = Face value / (1 + r)^n = $1,000 / (1 + 0.02)^40 = $452.890415185236
Therefore, we have:
Price of bond = Present value of coupon + Present value of the face value of the bond = $683.886981018455 + $452.890415185236 = $1,136.77739620369
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price of bond = $1,136.78
Therefore, the bond was sold at $1,136.78.
Anthony Thomas Candies (ATC) reported the following financial data for 2021 and 2020:
2021 2020
Sales $ 314,000 $ 290,000
Sales returns and allowances 8,000 4,700
Net sales $ 306,000 $ 285,300
Cost of goods sold:
Inventory, January 1 62,000 18,000
Net purchases 139,000 142,000
Goods available for sale 201,000 160,000
Inventory, December 31 61,000 62,000
Cost of goods sold 140,000 98,000
Gross profit $ 166,000 $ 187,300
The average days inventory for ATC (rounded) for 2021 is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
A. 171 days.
B. 222 days.
C. 231 days
D. Less than 100 days.
Answer:
D. Less than 100 days
Explanation:
Average days inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover rate
But
Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Also,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
= ($62,000 + $18,000) / 2
= $40,000
Inventory turnover rate = $201,000 / $40,000 = 5.025
Average days inventory = 365 / 5.025 = 72.64 days
On January 1, Zeibart Company purchases equipment for $220,000. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 10 years and expected salvage value of $25,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Four years later, economic factors cause the fair value of the equipment to decline to $85,000. On this date, Zeibart examines the equipment for impairment and estimates undiscounted expected cash inflows from this equipment of $115,000
(1) Compute the annual depreciation expense relating to this equipment.
(2) Compute the equipment’s net book value at the end of the fourth year.
(3) If the equipment is impaired at the end of the fourth year, compute the impairment loss. (If the equipment is not impaired, enter 0.)
(4) Compute the annual depreciation expense
Answer:
(1) $19,500
(2) $142,000
(3) $27,000
(4) $15,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the p/l over the useful life of the asset. It may be computed as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
Annual depreciation = ($220,000 - $25,000)/10
= $19,500
4 years later
Carrying amount of the equipment
= $220,000 - 4 * $19,500
= $220,000 - $78,000
= $142,000
If the asset is impaired
An asset is said to be impaired when the carrying amount is higher than recoverable amount where the recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value in use of the asset which is the present value of the future expected inflow from the use of the asset.
Value in use = $115,000
Fair value = $85,000
Value in use = $115,000
Impairment loss = $142,000 - $115,000
= $27,000
Remaining number of years is 6
New carrying amount = $115,000
the annual depreciation expense = ($115,000 - $25,000)/6
= $90,000/6
= $15,000
Reynolds Manufacturers Inc. has estimated total factory overhead costs of $104,000 and expected direct labor hours of 13,000 for the current fiscal year. If job number 117 incurs 1,720 direct labor hours, Work in Process will be debited and Factory Overhead will be credited for a.$104,000 b.$52,000 c.$1,720 d.$13,760
Answer:
Work in Process 13.760
Manufacturing Overhead 13,760
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 104,000 / 13,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 117:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 8*1,720
Allocated MOH= $13,760
Work in Process 13.760
Manufacturing Overhead 13,760
Which of the following gives suggestions for new product and also help to market new product.
A. Existing product and services
B.federal government
C.Distribution channel
D.creativeness
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Actual sales revenue in dollars is 3.5% higher than budgeted, actual sales price is 10% lower than budgeted, actual sales volume in units is 15% higher than budgeted, actual input prices are 5% lower than budgeted, and actual input quantities per unit are 5% lower than budgeted. Characterize input price and input efficiency variances as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U):
Answer:
Input price and input efficiency variances are:
Favorable.
Explanation:
The input price is the cost of production. When the actual cost of production (input price) is 5% lower than budgeted, it is a favorable outcome. Similarly, when the input efficiency (that is the quantity of input) is 5% lower than budgeted, it shows a favorable outcome. Therefore, the variances of these input elements (price and efficiency) are all together favorable.
TPW, a calendar year taxpayer, sold land with a $549,000 tax basis for $820,000 in February. The purchaser paid $89,000 cash at closing and gave TPW an interest-bearing note for the $731,000 remaining price. In August, TPW received a $60,550 payment from the purchaser consisting of a $36,550 principal payment and a $24,000 interest payment. Assume that TPW uses the installment sale method of accounting.
a. Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method.
b. Is this difference favorable or unfavorable?
c. Using a 21 percent tax rate, compute PTR's deferred tax asset or liability (identify which) resulting from the book/tax difference.
Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
Required A Required B Required C
Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method. (Round gross profit percentage to 2 decimal places, and intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Book/tax difference
Answer:
a. Difference between book income and tax income = $229,505.73
b. The difference between book income and tax income is favorable.
c. Deferred tax liability = $48,196.20
Explanation:
a. Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method.
This can be computed as follows:
Amount realized on sale of land = Cash paid by purchaser + Value of interest- bearing note given by the purchaser = $89,000 + $731,000 = $820,000
Adjusted tax basis in land = $549,000
Book income = Amount realized on sale of land - adjusted tax basis in hand = $820,000 - $549,000 = $271,000
Gross profit percent = Book income / Amount realized on sale of land = $271,000 / $820,000 = 0.3305, or 33.05%
Cash received on sale of land = Cash paid by purchaser + Principal payment received in August = $89,000 + $36,550 = $125,550
Tax income =Cash received on sale of land * Gross profit percent = $125,550 * 33.05% = $41,494.28
Difference between book income and tax income = Book income - Tax income = $271,000 - $41,494.28 = $229,505.73
b. Is this difference favorable or unfavorable?
Since the book income greater than the tax income, this implies that the difference between book income and tax income is favorable.
c. Using a 21 percent tax rate, compute PTR's deferred tax asset or liability (identify which) resulting from the book/tax difference.
Deferred tax liability = Difference between book income and tax income * 21% = $229,505.73 * 21% = $48,196.20

Explanation:
LIFO method assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first. Also note that the perpetual Inventory method is used. This means the cost of sales and inventory value is calculated after every transaction.
So with LIFO , Cost of Sales will be calculated on recent prices (later prices) whilst Inventory will be valued at earlier prices (old prices).
Chess Top uses the perpetual inventory system. On May 1st, the beginning inventory consisted of 480 units that cost $65 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: May 3rd, 720 units at $68 each May 20th, 360 units at $70 each. Chess Top also sold 800 units on May 10th , Using the LIFO method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for themonth
Answer:
the amount of the cost of goods sold is $55,120
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold for the month is shown below:
Since 800 units were sold out of which 360 units would sold at $70 and the remaining units i.e. 440 units would be sold at $68
= 360 units × $70 + 440 units × $68
= $25,200 + $29,920
= $55,120
Hence, the amount of the cost of goods sold is $55,120
This morning, you purchased a seventeen-year, 6.45% annual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 at a price of $1,030.04. Just after purchasing the bond, the yield to maturity of the bond falls to 5.50 percent and stays at that level throughout your investment period. If you sell your bond after holding it for seven years, what will be your realized rate of return
Answer:
6.73%
Explanation:
the price of the bond in seven years is:
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 5.50%)¹⁰ = $585.43
PV of coupon payments = $64.50 x 7.538 (PVIFA, 5.5%, 10 years) = $486.20
market price = $1,071.63
using an excel spreadsheet of financial calculator, the annual rate of return:
year 0 = -1030.04
year 1 = 64.5
year 2 = 64.5
year 3 = 64.5
year 4 = 64.5
year 5 = 64.5
year 6 = 64.5
year 7 = 1136.13
IRR = 6.73%
Road Gripper Tire Co. manufactures automobile tires. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead incurred for the manufacture of 4,160 tires were as follows:

Direct labor 2,080 hrs. at $15.75 2,000 hrs. at $15.40
Factory overhead Rates per direct labor hr.,
based on 100% of normal capacity of 2,000 direct
labor hrs.:
Variable cost, $4.00 $8,200 variable cost
Fixed cost, $6.00 $12,000 fixed cost
Each tire requires 0.5 hour of direct labor.
Required:
a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.
b. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.
c. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:
1. Direct Materials Price Variance
2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance
3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance
Direct Materials Price Variance:
It can be calculated by using the following formula:
DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)
Where,
DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance
AQ = Actual Quantity
AP = Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.
AQ = 101,000
AP = 6.50 USD
SP = 6.40 USD
So,
DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)
DMPV = 10,100 USD
Direct Materials Quantity Variance:
DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )
Where,
DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?
SP = Standard Price = 6.40 USD
AQ = Actual Quantity = 101,000
SQ = Standard Quantity = 100,000
Plugging in the values:
DMQV = 6.40 ( 101,000 - 100,000)
DMQV = 6400 USD
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:
DMCV = SMC - AMC
Where,
DMCV = Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?
SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000
AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000
DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)
DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500
DMCV = 16,500 USD
b.
For part b, we need following particulars:
1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)
2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)
3. Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
Where,
ADLR = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD
SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD
ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000
So,
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
DLRV = (15.40 USD - 15.75 USD ) x 2000
DLRV = 700 USD
Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):
DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR
SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080
DLTV = ( 2000 - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD
DLTV = 1260 USD
Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
DLCV = SDLC - ADLC
SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost
ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost
DLCV = (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)
DLCV = 1960 USD
c.
For Part c, we need following:
1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)
2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)
3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)
variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):
VFOCV = AFO - B
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 8200
B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4
B = 8320 USD
VFOCV = 8200 - 8320
VFOCV = 120 USD
fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :
FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR
Where,
S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5
BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080
SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD
FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5 - 2080) x 6
FFOVV = 0 USD
Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):
TFOCV = AFO - SO
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200
SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10
TFOCV = 20,200 - ( 2080 x 10 )
TFOCV = 600 USD
On January 1, Year 1, Friedman Company purchased a truck that cost $35,000. The truck had an expected useful life of 200,000 miles over 8 years and a $7,000 salvage value. During Year 2, Friedman drove the truck 33,000 miles. The company uses the units-of-production method. The amount of depreciation expense recognized in Year 2 is: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
$4620
Explanation:
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
33,000 / 2000,000) x ($35,000 - $7000) = $4620
In 1961, NASA began admitting women into its astronaut training program. They performed well in the training but none of them ever served as astronauts because NASA changed its rules to require jet fighter experience for astronauts. Since women were not eligible to fly jet fighters, they could not qualify for space duty.
Required:
Would these women have had a claim under Title VII?
Answer:
Yes, they could make a claim due to disparate impact.
Explanation:
NASA wasn't barring females candidates directly since they were allowed into the selection process, but by requesting something that no woman could do, they were indirectly prohibiting them from becoming astronauts.
explain the difference between production control and production planning
Answer:
Planning of the manufacturing process is deciding in advance what to do, how to do, when to do it and who is to do it. Controlling of the manufacturing process measures the digression of actual performance from the standard performance and takes corrective actions.
Explanation:
Otto and Monica are married taxpayers who file a joint tax return. For the current tax year, they have AGI of $99,600. They have excess depreciation on real estate of $59,760, which must be added back to AGI to arrive at AMTI. The amount of their mortgage interest expense for the year was $19,920, and they made charitable contributions of $9,960. They have no other itemized deductions. If Otto and Monica's taxable income for the current year is $69,720, determine the amount of their AMTI.
Answer: $129480
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the amount of their AMTI will be calculated as:
AGI = $99600
Add: Excess Depreciation on Real Estate = $59760
Less: Mortgage Interest Expenses = $19920
Less : Charitable Contribution = $9960
AMTI = $129480

The decisions of a mediator are?
Identify the possible reason or reasons for this stark difference between income inequality and consumption inequality. Intergenerational mobility allows children to consume more than their parents. The poverty line does not reflect relative poverty. The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income. Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.
Answer:
The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income. Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.Explanation:
First part of this question reads:
In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.
The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.
When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
