Answer:
Premium is $2,677.95
The premium amortization on the 7th payment is $119
Explanation:
In order to arrive at the premium on the bond,it is necessary to compute the issuing price of the bond,which can be done using the pv formula in excel as shown below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the semi-annual yield to maturity on the bond which is 6%/2=3%
nper is the number of coupon interest payable by the bond,which is 10 years multiplied by 2=20
pmt is the semi-annual coupon payable by the bond i.e 12%/2*$6000=$360
fv is the face value of the bond which is $6,000
=-pv(3%,20,360,6000)
pv=$8,677.95
premium=issue price -face value
premium=$$8,677.95-$6,000
premium=$2,677.95
The premium amortization is the excess of coupon payment over the interest expense.
In the attached, I calculated the premium amortization on the 7th payment.
I started by taking the issue price of $8677.95 ,added interest expense at 3% semi-annually ,deducted the coupon payment of $360,thereby leaving the outstanding balance at end of the year.
Note that the premium amortization is the excess of coupon payment over interest expense as colored coded.
Bond priced at a premium. Requires further calculation to find exact premium and amortization in 7th coupon.
This scenario involves a bond priced at a premium due to a lower nominal yield (interest rate) compared to the coupon rate. We can calculate the premium and amortization of premium for the 7th coupon period.
Key Information:
Face Value (F) = $6,000Coupon Rate (C) = 12% annually (6% semiannually)Maturity = 10 years (20 semiannual periods)Nominal Yield (Y) = 6% annually (3% semiannually)Calculations:
Coupon Payment per Period (Cpt):
Cpt = F * (C / 2) = $6,000 * (6% / 2) = $180
Present Value of all Coupon Payments (PVcp):
We can use the formula for the present value of an annuity to calculate the PV of all coupon payments. However, a shortcut exists for constant coupon bonds:
PVcp = F * [ 1 - (1 + Y / 2)^(-N) ] / (Y / 2)
N = Number of periods (20)
Present Value of Face Value at Maturity (PVF):
PVF = F / (1 + Y / 2)^N
Bond Price (Pb):
Pb = PVcp + PVF
Premium:
Premium = Pb - F
Amortization Schedule:
The bond is priced at a premium because the nominal yield is lower than the coupon rate. This difference is amortized over the life of the bond, reducing the carrying value (book value) towards the face value at maturity.
Amortization of Premium in the 7th Coupon Period (Ap7):
Carrying Value at the Beginning of Period 7 (CVb7):
This depends on the amortization method used (straight-line or effective interest). We'll assume a straight-line method for simplicity.
CVb7 = Pb - (Number of Periods Completed * Coupon Payment)
Since we don't have the calculated value of Pb yet, we'll come back to this after calculating the bond price.
Scheduled Interest Payment (Sp7):
Sp7 = F * (Y / 2) = $6,000 * (3% / 2) = $90
Amortization of Premium (Ap7):
Ap7 = CVb7 - Sp7 - F / (1 + Y / 2)^n
n = Period number (7)
Solving for Bond Price and Amortization:
We need to solve for the bond price (Pb) first to determine the carrying value at the beginning of period 7 (CVb7). Then, we can calculate the amortization for the 7th coupon period (Ap7).
This typically involves iterative calculations using a financial calculator or spreadsheet. However, we can understand the concepts and the approach to solving this problem.
By calculating the present value of coupon payments and the face value at maturity, we can determine the bond's price and whether it's priced at a premium or discount. The amortization schedule tracks the reduction in premium over time.
The master budget at Western Company last period called for sales of 235,000 units at $9.40 each. The costs were estimated to be $3.00 variable per unit and $270,000 fixed. During the period, actual production and actual sales were 240,000 units. The selling price was $9.50 per unit. Variable costs were $3.75 per unit. Actual fixed costs were $270,000. Required: Prepare a flexible budget for Western.
Answer:
Profit under flexible budget = $1,266,000 (please budget below)
Explanation:
Flexible budget is that which is that which recognizes the cost behavior and is used for control purpose. It is prepared based on the actual level of activity achieved using the assumptions of the static budget.
So we will prepare a flexible budget for Western Company for 240,000 units using the assumption of the static budget.
Flexible Budget
$
Sales Revenue (240,000× $9.40) = 2,256,000
Variable cost (240,000× $3.00) = ( 720,000 )
Contribution 1,536,000
Fixed cost (270,000)
Profit 1,266,000
A flexible budget adjusts with the volume of activity. For Western Company, based on 240,000 units sold at $9.50 each, factoring in costs, the operating income is $1,110,000.
Explanation:To prepare a flexible budget for Western, we need to remember that a flexible budget adjusts with the volume of activity (sales units in this case). Our budget will be based on the actual level of activity, which is 240,000 units.
Here's the step-by-step process:
First, multiply the actual units (240,000) by the actual selling price per unit ($9.50). This gives us actual revenue of $2,280,000.Second, multiply the actual units by the actual variable cost per unit ($3.75). This results in total variable costs of $900,000.The actual fixed costs need no adjusting; they remain at $270,000.Now, subtract both total variable costs and fixed costs from actual revenue to compute the flexible budget operating income. $2,280,000 - $900,000 - $270,000 equals $1,110,000.So based on these calculations, the flexible budget for Western Company is as follows: Total revenue of $2,280,000, total costs of $1,170,000 (including variable and fixed), and a resulting operating income of $1,110,000.

Indicate whether each of the following transactions represents an increase in net exports, a decrease in net exports, an increase in net capital outflow, or a decrease in net capital outflow for the United States.
a. An American buys a Sony TV.
b. An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm.
c. The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury.
d. A South Korean tourist buys some Sunkist oranges from an American farmer.
Answer: a. Decrease in Net Exports
b. Increase in Net Capital
c. Decrease in Net Capital.
d. Increase in Net Exports
Explanation:
a. A Decrease in Net Exports
Net Exports is Exports - Imports. In buying a Television from a foreign company, the American has imported the good. This will reduce Net Exports by the aforementioned formula.
b. An INCREASE in NET CAPITAL OUTFLOW
This is essentially Capital being invested in other countries. It increases when more is invested in other countries as opposed to less.
c. A DECREASE in NET CAPITAL OUTFLOW.
As previously stated, Net Capital Outflow increases when a country invests more in another country. Since we are looking at it from the perspective of the USA, Sony, which is not an American company, buying into such capital is considered a Decrease in Net Capital Outflow as money is coming into the US.
d. An INCREASE in NET EXPORTS
Here, a foreigner is buying goods in the USA. That translates to Export. And by the Net Export Equation, Net Exports will rise.
If you need any clarification do react or comment.
Net exports decrease when an American buys a Sony TV, while it increases when a South Korean tourist buys Sunkist oranges. Net capital outflow increases with purchase of a share in a South Korean company by an American and decreases when Sony pension fund buys a U.S. Treasury bond.
Explanation:Here are the transactions and their impact:
An American buys a Sony TV. This is an import and would decrease net exports for the United States.An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm. This would increase net capital outflow as money is leaving the U.S and going to South Korea.The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury.

Wall-E has annual fixed costs of $290,000 units. Assume that frames and hangers are sold in a 3:1 mix (3 frames are sold for each hanger). How many units of each must be sold to break-even
Answer:
Break-even point (units)=40,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Frames have a contribution margin per unit of $6.00 and hanger has a contribution margin per unit of $11.00. Wall-E has annual fixed costs of $290,000 units.
We need to calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company.
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (6*0.75) + (11*0.25)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 7.25
Break-even point (units)= 290,000/7.25
Break-even point (units)=40,000 units

Answer:
0.1609 and 0.8391
Explanation:
The computation of the weight required to compute the firm's weighted average cost of capital is shown below:
For Weight of debt
= (Short-term debt + Long-term debt) ÷ (Total Capital )
= ($2,600 + $4,246) ÷ ($42,557)
= 0.1609
For weight of equity
= Common Equity ÷ Total Capital
= $35,711 ÷ $42,557
= 0.8391
We simply divide the debt with its total capital so that the weight of capital structure could arrive

The following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard quantity per unit of output Standard price 9.2 grams $14.70 per gram The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased.. Actual cost of materials purchased. Actual materials used in production... Actual output 5,500 grams $76,450 5,100 grams 540 units The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. Required: a. What is the materials price variance for the month? b. What is the materials quantity variance for the month?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity per unit= 9.2 grams
Standard price= $14.70 per gram
Actual materials purchased= 5,500 grams
The actual cost of materials= $76,450
Actual materials used in production= 5,100 grams
Actual output= 540 units
To calculate the direct material variances, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 76,450/5,500= $13.9
Direct material price variance= (14.7 - 13.9)*5,500= $4,400 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 540*9.2= 4,968 grams
Direct material quantity variance= (4,968 - 5,100)*14.7= $1,940.4 unfavorable

The following information relates to Kew Company's Vale Division for last year: sales .................................. $500,000 variable costs ......................... 300,000 fixed costs ............................ 50,000 return on investment ................... 25% minimum required rate of return ........ 6% Calculate the residual income reported by Vale Division last year.
Answer:
$114,000
Explanation:
The computation of the residual income is shown below:
As we know that
Residual Income = Net operating Income - Average Operating assets × Required rate of return
where,
Net Operating Income is
= Sales Revenue - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs
= $500,000 - $300,000 - $50,000
= $150,000
And,
Average operating Assets is
= Net Operating Income ÷ Return on Investment
= $150,000 ÷ 0.25
= $600,000
So, the residual income is
= $150,000 - $600,000 × 6%
= $150,000 - $36,000
= $114,000

Maria Lorenzi owns an ice cream stand that she operates during the summer months in West Yellowstone, Montana. She is unsure how to price her ice cream cones and has experimented with two prices in successive weeks during the busy August season. The number of people who entered the store was roughly the same each week. During the first week, she priced the cones at $4.80 and 2,185 cones were sold. During the second week, she priced the cones at $5.30 and 1,750 cones were sold. The variable cost of a cone is $1.00 and consists solely of the costs of the ice cream and the cone itself. The fixed expenses of the ice cream stand are $2,030 per week. Required: 1. What profit did Maria earn during the first week when her price was $4.80
Answer:
The correct answer is $6,283 .
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Sales = 2,185 × $4.8
= $10,488
Variable cost = 2,185 × $1.00
= $2,185
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost
= $10,488 - $2,185
= $8,303
Fixed cost = $2,030 per week
We can calculate the profit by using following formula:
Profit = Contribution - Fixed cost
By putting the value in the formula, we get
= $8,303 - $2,020
= $6,283
Suppose the price index was 110 in 2004, 120 in 2005, and 125 in 2006. Which of the following statements is correct? a. The economy experienced inflation between 2004 and 2005 and between 2005 and 2006. b. The inflation rate was positive between 2004 and 2005, and it was negative between 2005 and 2006. c. The inflation rate was higher between 2005 and 2006 than it was between 2004 and 2005. d. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Price index in the year 2004 = 110
Price index in the year 2005 = 120
Price index in the year 2006 = 125
Inflation rate refers to the rate at which the prices of goods increases from one year to the other.
Consumer price index indicates the inflation in a particular year.
Inflation between 2004 and 2005:
= (Price index in the year 2005 - Price index in the year 2004) ÷ Price index in the year 2004
= (120 - 110) ÷ 110
= 10 ÷ 110
= 0.0909 or 9.09%
Inflation between 2005 and 2006:
= (Price index in the year 2006 - Price index in the year 2005) ÷ Price index in the year 2005
= (125 - 120) ÷ 120
= 5 ÷ 120
= 0.0417 or 4.17%
Therefore, the inflation between 2004 and 2005 is higher than the inflation between 2005 and 2006.
Final answer:
The economy indeed experienced inflation between 2004 and 2005 and between 2005 and 2006, making the correct answer option a.
Explanation:
Suppose the price index was 110 in 2004, 120 in 2005, and 125 in 2006. The correct statement regarding this situation is: The economy experienced inflation between 2004 and 2005 and between 2005 and 2006.
Inflation denotes the increase in the price level over a period. Comparing the price indexes provided: from 110 in 2004 to 120 in 2005 indicates an increase in the price level, thus inflation. Similarly, the increase from 120 in 2005 to 125 in 2006 also signifies inflation. Therefore, option a is correct.
It is incorrect to assert that inflation was negative between any of the years mentioned, as the price index continuously rose, indicating positive inflation rates throughout the period. Moreover, the statement about the inflation rate being higher in one period compared to the other is not supported without calculating the specific yearly rates of inflation.
The "law of demand" refers to the fact that, other things remaining the same, when the price of a good rises, A. the demand curve shifts leftward. B. there is a movement up along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded. C. there is a movement down along the demand curve to a larger quantity demanded. D. the demand curve shifts rightward.
Answer:
B. there is a movement up along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Based on the laws of demand, if the price of the good rises the quantity demanded of that good would be reduced keeping other things constant and if the price of the good declines the quantity demanded of that good would be raised keeping other things constant.
It represents the inverse relation between the price and the quantity demanded of the good
Therefore the quantity demanded get decreased with the price
The law of demand states that when the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded decreases. Option B is the correct answer as it describes the movement along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded.
Explanation:The law of demand states that when the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded decreases. This means that as the price increases, people are less willing and able to purchase the good.
Option B is the correct answer. When the price of a good rises, there is a movement up along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded. This is because the higher price reduces the quantity that consumers are willing to buy.
For example, if the price of a pizza increases, people might choose to buy less pizza or substitute it with a different food item.

+ Actual overhead = Variable overhead + fixed overhead = 15,800 + 9,100 = $24,900
=> Total overhead variance = Overhead applied - Actual overhead = 24,000 - 24,900 = 900 Unfavorable as the actual overhead is bigger than the overhead applied ( planned cost is lower than actual cost incurred).
So, the answer is A.
At the end of the current year, the accounts receivable account has a debit balance of $1,095,000 and sales for the year total $12,420,000. The allowance account before adjustment has a debit balance of $14,800. Bad debt expense is estimated at 3/4 of 1% of sales. The allowance account before adjustment has a debit balance of $14,800. An aging of the accounts in the customer ledger indicates estimated doubtful accounts of $47,400. The allowance account before adjustment has a credit balance of $5,300. Bad debt expense is estimated at 1/2 of 1% of sales. The allowance account before adjustment has a credit balance of $5,300. An aging of the accounts in the customer ledger indicates estimated doubtful accounts of $44,000. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry to provide for doubtful accounts under each of the assumptions (a through d) listed above.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Bad debt expense is
= $12,420,000 × 3 ÷ 4 of 1%
= $93,150
b) Bad debt expense is
= Estimated doubtful accounts + debit balance of allowance account
= $47,400 + $14,800
= $62,200
c) Bad debt expense is
= $12,420,000 × 1 ÷ 2 of 1%
= $62,100
d) Bad debt expense is
= Estimated doubtful accounts - credit balance of allowance account
= $44,000 - $5,300
= $38,700
We simply applied the above formulas
Sabor Inc. is a medical testing laboratory that performs several tests and analyses for hospitals in the area. Four of the tests that it performs require the use of a specialized machine that can supply 14,000 hours per year. Information on the four lab tests is as follows: Test A Test B Test C Test D Charging rate $65 $51 $48 $32 Variable cost $25 $18 $13 $8 Machine hours 3 2 1 0.5 What is the contribution margin per hour of machine time for Test A
Answer:
$13.33
Explanation:
Test A
Charging rate $65
Variable cost ($25)
Contribution margin $40
Contribution margin per machine hour $40/3=$13.33
The contribution margin per hour of machine time for Test A is $13.33.
The contribution margin per hour of machine time for Test A is calculated by subtracting the variable cost per unit from the charging rate per unit and then dividing by the machine hours required for Test A.
First, calculate the contribution margin for Test A:
Contribution Margin for Test A = Charging Rate for Test A - Variable Cost for Test A
Contribution Margin for Test A = $65 - $25
Contribution Margin for Test A = $40
Now, calculate the contribution margin per machine hour for Test A:
Contribution Margin per Machine Hour for Test A = Contribution Margin for Test A / Machine Hours for Test A
Contribution Margin per Machine Hour for Test A = $40 / 3 hours
Contribution Margin per Machine Hour for Test A = $13.33 per hour

Wood Company makes two types of chairs. One of the chairs is a rocking chair. The other is a straight-back chair. Both chairs are made by hand. Wood Company uses a companywide overhead rate that is based on direct labor hours to assign overhead costs to the two products. If Wood Company automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a companywide allocation basis:
a. rocking chairs will be undercosted
b. there should be no impact on unit cost
c. straight back chairs will be overcosted
d. rocking chairs will be overcosted.
Answer:
d. rocking chairs will be overcosted.
Explanation:
Since in the given situation, if the company automates the production of straight-back chairs so the direct hours of straight back chairs will be decreased and the rocking chairs would remain constant and we assume that overall overhead remain the same
In addition, Overall Direct working hours would minimize the proportion of Direct rocking chair working hours in total direct working hours. As a result, the overhead allocation to the Rocking chair would also increase on the basis of Direct Labor hours than before. And it would overcoat the rocking chairs.
Hence, the correct option is d.
Automating the production of straight-back chairs at Wood Company and continuing to use direct labor hours as a companywide allocation basis will result in the overcosting of rocking chairs. The correct option is d.
Explanation:If the Wood Company automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a companywide allocation basis, the most likely impact would be to overcost the rocking chairs.
This is so because by automating the production of straight-back chairs, the direct labor hours for these chairs will decrease drastically, whereas the direct labor hours for the handmade rocking chairs remain the same.
As a result, a larger portion of the overheads based on direct labor hours will be assigned to the rocking chairs, making them appear more costly than they actually are. Hence, option 'd. rocking chairs will be overcosted' is the correct one. The correct option is d.

Thomson Co. produces and distributes semiconductors for use by computer manufacturers. Thomson Co. issued $1,200,000 of 10-year, 12% bonds on May 1 of the current year at face value, with interest payable on May 1 and November 1. The fiscal year of the company is the calendar year. Journalize the entries to record the following selected transactions for the current year. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles. May 1 Issued the bonds for cash at their face amount. Nov. 1 Paid the interest on the bonds. Dec. 31 Recorded accrued interest for two months.
When Thomson Co. issued $1,200,000 of bonds, they made a journal entry debiting Cash and crediting Bonds Payable. Interest payments are recorded by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Cash, and accrued interest is recorded by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Interest Payable.
A company like Thomson Co. can raise funds for operations or expansion by issuing bonds, which are debt securities. On May 1, Thomson Co. issued $1,200,000 of 10-year, 12% bonds at face value, meaning the bonds were sold for exactly what they are worth, and not at a premium or discount. To Journalize the issuance of the bonds, the entry on May 1 would be to debit Cash for $1,200,000 and credit Bonds Payable for $1,200,000, reflecting the receipt of cash in exchange for the obligation to pay back the bondholders in the future.
On November 1, when the first interest payment is due, Thomson Co. will make a payment of 12% annual interest on $1,200,000 for six months (from May to November), which equals $72,000 in interest (1,200,000 x 0.12 x 6/12). The entry to record this interest payment would be to debit Interest Expense for $72,000 and credit Cash for $72,000.
Finally, on December 31, Thomson Co. needs to record the accrued interest for two months (November and December), which amounts to $24,000 (1,200,000 x 0.12 x 2/12). The journal entry for the accrued interest would be to debit Interest Expense for $24,000 and credit Interest Payable for $24,000. This ensures that the financial statements reflect the expense incurred during the current year, even though the payment will be made the next year.

Horn Company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $108,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $41,830 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $25,720 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use can be sold for $9,500 if the new machine is purchased. The new machine would have a useful life of ten years with a $6,000 salvage value. Calculate the accounting rate of return on the machine that Horn Company is considering buying. Enter your answer as a number without the % symbol. For example, if your answer is 10%, simply enter 10 as your answer.
Answer:
Accounting rate of return is 6%
Explanation:
The new machine would cost $108,000 minus the trade-in value of the old machine i.e $108,000-$9500=$98,500.00
The annual profit =Savings of operational costs on the old machine-costs of operating the new machine-depreciation
Costs of operating the old machine is $41,830
Costs of operating the new machine is $25,720
annual depreciation on the new machine=($108,000-$6,000)/10=$10,200
annual profit=$41,830-$25,720-$10,200=$5,910
Accounting rate of return=annual profit/average operating assets
accounting rate of return=$5,910/$98,500=6%

Matthias Corp. had the following foreign currency transactions during 2017:
Purchased merchandise from a foreign supplier on January 20 for the U.S. dollar equivalent of $62,900 and paid the invoice on April 20 at the U.S. dollar equivalent of $53,200.
On September 1, borrowed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $305,000 evidenced by a note that is payable in the lender's local currency in one year. On December 31, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the principal amount was $322,000.
Required:
In Matthias's 2017 income statement, what amount should be included as a net foreign exchange gain or loss?
Answer:
$7,300 loss
Explanation:
The computation of the net foreign exchange gain or loss included in the income statement is shown below:
Since the merchandise purchased value is $62,900
And, the paid amount is $53,200
So, the gain on transaction is
= $62,900 - $53,200
= $9,700
The borrowed amount is $305,000
And, the principal amount is $322,000
So, the loss is
= $305,000 - $322,000
= $17,000 loss
So in this case $7,300 loss is included which is a difference of $9,700 and $17,000

Gerry bought 100 shares of stock for $30.00 per share on 70% margin. Assume Gerry holds the stock for one year and that his interest costs will be $45 over the holding period. Gerry also received dividends amounting to $0.30 per share. Ignoring commissions, what is his percentage return on invested capital if he sells the stock for $34 a share?
THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR GERRY WILL BE
Explanation:
TO CALCULATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT :
PURCHASE VALUE WILL BE TAKEN AS $30×100= 3000
DIVIDEND =$0.30×100
= $30
INTEREST PAID = $ 45
SALE PRICE = $34*100
= $3400
TOTALRETURN WILL BE CALCULATED AS SALES MINUS PURCHASE AND ADDING DIVIDEND AND SUBTRACTING INTEREST PAID WHICH IS = $3400-$3000+$30-$45= $385
NOW WE WILL CALCULATE CAPITAL INVESTMENT WHICH IS =[tex]\frac{TOTAL RETURN}{CAPITAL INVESTMENT}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{385}{2100}[/tex] × 100=18.33%
OUR ACTUAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT IS 70%×3000 = $2100.
The percentage return is 18.33%.
The calculation is as follows:Amount invested is
= 30 × 100 × 70%
= $2,100
Now
Total return is
= (100 × 0.3) + 100 × (34 - 30) - 45
= 385
Now finally
Return on invested capital is
= 385 ÷ 2100
= 18.33%
Therefore we can conclude that the percentage return is 18.33%.
