Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
a. Unearned compensation $260,000
To Common stock $10,000 (10,000 shares × $1)
To Paid in capital in excess of par - common stock $250,000
(Being the unearned compensation is recorded)
It increased the common stock and the remaining balance is transferred to the paid in capital so these account are credited while on the other hand the contra equity is decreased so unearned compensation is debited
Compensation expenses $52,000 ($260,000 ÷ 5 years)
To Unearned compensation $52,000
(being the compensation expense is recorded)
Since there is a compensation expense so the expense account is debited as it increased the expenses while on the other hand we credited the unearned compensation
b. Common stock 10,000
Paid in capital in excess of par - common stock $250,000
To Compensation expenses $104,000 ($52,000 × 2 years)
To Unearned compensation $156,000
(Being the forfeiture is recorded)
This entry reflects the reversing of the entry with related to the common stock, paid in capital, and compensation expense
hich of the following statements is correct? Group of answer choices Advertising expense is a product cost Service firms do not incur depreciation costs Human capital is an important resource for service firms, but not for other firms Cardboard packaging for the product is a product cost Sales commissions for the current month is a product cost
Answer:
Cardboard packaging for the product is a product cost
Explanation:
As we know that
There are two types of cost i.e product cost and the period cost.
The product cost is the cost which is directly related to the product i.e direct material cost, direct labor cost, etc
And, the period cost is the cost which includes the major part of the selling and admin expenses like - sales commission, advertising expense, etc
Plus, the human capital is necessary for all the firms and the depreciation is also charged in all type of business
So the cardboard packaging is the product cost
Kings Department Store has 625 rubies, 800 diamonds, and 700 emeralds from which they will make bracelets and necklaces that they have advertised in their Christmas brochure. Each of the rubies is approximately the same size and shape as the diamonds and the emeralds. Kings will net a profit of $250 on each bracelet, which is made with 2 rubies, 3 diamonds, and 4 emeralds, and $500 on each necklace, which includes 5 rubies, 7 diamonds, and 3 emeralds. How many of each should Kings make to maximize its profit?
Answer:
129 bracelets and 59 necklaces will make profit of $61,750
Explanation:
Kings departments store wants to maximize profit by making a combination of its two products necklaces and bracelets. The King store should use a strategy so that it can generate maximum profit with its available rubies, diamonds and emeralds.
$250a + $500b = Maximum Profit
For rubies : 2a + 5b = 625
For Diamonds :3a + 7b = 800
For Emeralds: 4a + 3b = 700
Solving the equation we get maximum profit value of $61,750.

Since it can cost five times as much to acquire a new customer than to service an existing one, it is important for salespersons to: exclusively focus on maximizing profits. generate as many leads as possible through cold calling. implement the endless chain approach. build and maintain long-term relationships
Answer:
Build and maintain long term relationship
Explanation:
A good way to manage the cost of acquiring a new customer is by building and maintaining a long term relationship with customers as this helps in winning their loyalty .
With this, a particular customer can keep patronizing you for a long period of time . This means that after the initial cost of acquiring the customer , the major expenses in respect of the customer is just the service cost , which is much smaller compared to the cost of acquiring a new customer.
Your question is not properly arranged, please let me assume this to be your question:
Since it can cost five times as much to acquire a new customer than to service an existing one, it is important for salespersons to:
A) Exclusively focus on maximizing profits.
B) Generate as many leads as possible through cold calling.
C) Implement the endless chain approach.
D) Build and maintain long-term relationships
ANSWER: The most correct option is D. Build and maintain long-term relationship.
Explanation: a salesperson is one that markets the companies product to persons that are assumed to be a prospective customer.
Convincing a prospect to buy the companies product is always a difficult task, when compared to the cost of servicing an existing customer. Due to this, a sales person has to hold its customer very tight, so as not to loss the customer to another company. The sales person can only achieve this if he/she has established a cordial relationship with the customer.
Long term relationship with customers is very important in achieving sales target, and increasing sales. Because the customers of today that are followed up are more likely to be the customers of tommorow.

Fiero Corporation adds all materials at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The company completed 70,000 units during the year and had 12,000 units in process at year end, 20% complete with respect to conversion cost. Equivalent units for the year total:
a) materials, 70,000; conversion, 70,000.
b) materials, 70,000; conversion, 2,400.
c) materials, 72,400; conversion, 72,400.
d) materials, 82,000; conversion, 72,400.
e) materials, 82,000; conversion, 82,000.
Answer:
d) materials, 82,000; conversion, 72,400.
Explanation:
The computation of conversion cost is shown below:-
Material of Equivalent Units = Completed units during the year × 100% + Units in process at year end × 100%
= 70,000 × 100% + 12,000 × 100%
= 82,000 units
Conversion of Equivalent Units = Completed units during the year × 100% + Units in process at year end × Conversion cost percentage
= 70,000 × 100% + 12,000 × 20%
= 72,400 units
The Taylor rule is a monetary policy guideline A. for determining a target for the inflation rate. B. developed by economist John Taylor for determining the target for the federal funds rate. C. developed by economist John Taylor for determining the target for the reserve rate. D. developed by Alan Greenspan, but summarized by economist John Taylor, for determining the target for the federal funds rate.
Answer:
B. developed by economist John Taylor for determining the target for the federal funds rate.
Explanation:
The Taylor rule is one kind of targeting monetary policy rule of a central bank. The Taylor rule was proposed by the American economist John B. Taylor in 1992.
The Taylor rule method for monetary policy, which is a rule that sets the federal funds rate according to the level of the inflation rate and either the output gap or the unemployment rate, does a good job of tracking the US.
As of March 12, 2020 the yield to maturity on 30 year US Treasury Bonds was 1.44%. On the same date, the yield to maturity on 30 year TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) was 0.31%. The latter can be viewed as a real interest rate. What forecast inflation rate is implied by these interest rates
Answer:
The forecast inflation rate is implied by these interest rates is 1.13%
Explanation:
when dealing with inflation, we have that:
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) * (1 + inflation rate)
1.0144 = 1.0031 * ( 1 + inflation rate)
inflation rate = 1.0144/1.0031 - 1
= 1.13%
Therefore, The forecast inflation rate is implied by these interest rates is 1.13%

The market for tomatoes is A. monopolistically competitive because tomato farming has barriers to entry. B. an oligopoly because each tomato farmer produces a large share of the output. C. perfectly competitive because tomato farmers produce identical products. D. perfectly competitive because tomato farmers have market power. E. a monopoly because tomatoes have no close substitutes.
Answer: C. perfectly competitive because tomato farmers produce identical products.
Explanation: The market for tomatoes is perfectly competitive because tomato farmers produce identical products. A perfectly competitive market is a market structure where there are many buyers and sellers, with prices reflecting supply and demand. It is characterized by identical or undifferentiated products, no transaction costs, no barriers to entry and exit which ensures that capital and other resources are highly mobile, and perfect information about the market among others.
The market for tomatoes aligns with the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market, where many producers offer interchangeable products without individual market power.
The market for tomatoes is most accurately described as perfectly competitive. In a perfectly competitive market, numerous firms produce a largely homogeneous product, and entry and exit from the market are fairly easy. Additionally, there is good information about prices, allowing firms to act as price takers. In this scenario, tomato farmers produce a crop that other farmers also grow, making their product largely interchangeable. Consequently, perfect competition typically characterizes agricultural markets where produce, such as tomatoes, does not have substantial differentiation and where no single farmer has market power. Therefore, the correct answer is C. perfectly competitive because tomato farmers produce identical products.
Suppose a firm has an annual budget of $200,000 in wages and salaries, $75,000 in materials, $30,000 in new equipment, $20,000 in rented property, and $35,000 in interest costs on capital. The owner/manager does not choose to pay himself, but he could receive income of $90,000 by working elsewhere. The firm earns revenues of $360,000 per year.
Required:
a) what are the annual explicit costs for the firm described above?
b) what are the annual implicit costs for the firm described above?
c) what are the annual economic costs for the firm described above?
d) what is the accounting profit for the firm described above?
e) what is the economic profit for the firm described above?
Answer and Explanation:
The computations are shown below
a. For Annual explicit cost
= Wages and salaries + material cost + new equipment cost + rental property + interest cost in capital
= $200,000 + $75,000 + $30,000 + $20,000 + $35,000
= $360,000
We considered all the cost which are incurred with respect to material, wages and salaries, equipment, etc
b. For Annual implicit cost
= Income received
= $90,000
= $90,000
It includes the opportunity cost which could be earned by the individual or company
c. For annual economic cost
= Explicit cost + Implicit cost
= $360,000 + $90,000
= $450,000
It is a mix of both explicit cost and the implicit cost
d. For accounting profit
As we know that
Accounting profit = Total revenues - explicit costs + depreciation.
= $360,000 - $360,000
= $0
e. For economic Profit it is
= Total Revenues – Explicit Costs – Implicit Costs
= $360,000 - $360,000 - $90,000
= -$90,000
Final answer:
The annual explicit costs amount to $360,000, while the implicit costs are $90,000. The firm's accounting profit is $0, and its economic profit is -$90,000, indicating the firm is not economically successful.
Explanation:
Calculating Costs and Profits for a Firm
To determine the financial health of a firm, it's essential to calculate both the explicit costs and implicit costs, which in combination give the economic costs. Then, by subtracting these costs from the total revenues, we can determine the accounting profit and the economic profit of the business.
a) Annual Explicit Costs:
The explicit costs are the direct, out-of-pocket payments for factors of production made by the firm. For the firm described:
Wages and Salaries: $200,000Materials: $75,000New Equipment: $30,000Rented Property: $20,000Interest Costs: $35,000Total explicit costs = $200,000 (Wages and Salaries) + $75,000 (Materials) + $30,000 (New Equipment) + $20,000 (Rented Property) + $35,000 (Interest Costs) = $360,000
b) Annual Implicit Costs:
Implicit costs are the opportunity costs of factors of production the firm owns. They represent the income the owner/manager could have earned elsewhere:
Owner/Manager's Opportunity Cost: $90,000
Total implicit costs = $90,000
c) Annual Economic Costs:
Economic costs are the sum of explicit and implicit costs:
Total economic costs = $360,000 (Explicit) + $90,000 (Implicit) = $450,000
d) Accounting Profit:
Accounting profit is calculated by subtracting the total explicit costs from the total revenues:
Accounting profit = Total Revenues - Explicit Costs = $360,000 (Revenues) - $360,000 (Explicit Costs) = $0
e) Economic Profit:
Economic profit is total revenues minus all costs, both explicit and implicit:
Economic Profit = Total Revenues - Economic Costs = $360,000 (Revenues) - $450,000 (Economic Costs) = -$90,000

To prepare the cash budget, calculate the cash inflows and outflows for each quarter and determine the ending cash balance.
Explanation:To prepare the cash budget for the first two quarters of 2017, we need to calculate the cash inflows and outflows for each quarter. Cash inflows include collections from clients, sale of equipment, and interest from investments. Cash outflows include professional salaries, overhead costs, selling and administrative costs, payment of income taxes, purchase of equipment, and interest payments. By subtracting the cash outflows from the beginning cash balance and adding the cash inflows, we can determine the ending cash balance for each quarter.

Alpha Electronics can purchase a needed service for $130 per unit. The same service can be provided by equipment that costs $100,000 and that will have a salvage value of 0 at the end of 10 years. Annual operating costs for the equipment will be $7,000 per year plus $25 per unit produced. MARR is 12%/year.
a) Whats the annual worth if the expected production is 90units/year? 510units/year?
b)Determine the breakeven value for annual production that will return MARR on the investment in the new equipment.
Answer:
a) Annual worth for 90 units/year = -7,550
Annual worth for 510 units/year = 36,550
b) The breakeven value for annual production that will return MARR on the investment in the new equipment is Q=235 units/year.
Explanation:
a) We can calculate the annual worth for any expected production substracting from the "purchased service" cost, the "equipment" costs. In the equipment cost, we considered a ten-year amortization of the equipment, that is 100,000/10=$10,000/year.
[tex]AW=C_1-C_2=(130Q)-(10,000+7,000+25Q)=105Q-17,000[/tex]
For Q=90, the annual worth is:
[tex]AW(90)=105*90-17,000=9,450-17,000=-7,550[/tex]
For Q=510, the annual worth is:
[tex]AW(510)=105*510-17,000=53,550-17,000=36,550[/tex]
b) We have to compare the two options (purchased service vs. equipment) in the same time span, so the two are evaluated over a 10 year period.
The purchased service option implies paying $130 per unit, so the cash flow each year is related linearly to the volume of production Q (units/year).
As the cash flow is constant for a certain level of production, we can use the annuity factor to calculate the present value PV.
The present value of this option is:
[tex]PV_1=\sum_{k=1}^{10}\dfrac{130Q}{(1+0.12)^k}=130Q*(\dfrac{1-(1+0.12)^{-10}}{0.12})\\\\PV_1=130Q*5.65=734.5Q[/tex]
The equipment option is more complex. We will consider the purchased in year 0 and the fixed and variable cost from year 1 to 10.
The present value is then:
[tex]PV_2=100,000+\sum_{k=1}^{10}\dfrac{7,000+25Q}{(1+0.12)^k}\\\\\\PV_2=100,000+(7,000+25Q)*(\dfrac{1-(1+0.12)^{-10}}{0.12})\\\\\\PV_2=100,000+(7,000+25Q)*5.65\\\\\\PV_2=100,000+7,000*5.65+5.65*25Q\\\\\\PV_2=100,000+39,550+141.25Q\\\\\\PV_2=139,550+141.25Q[/tex]
The breakeven value for annual production is the quantity for which both present values are equivalent:
[tex]PV_1=PV_2\\\\\\734.5Q=139,550+141.25Q\\\\(734.5-141.25)Q=139,550\\\\593.25Q=139,550\\\\Q=139,550/593.25=235.23\approx235[/tex]

1. In the 1990s, the technology revolution caused the wide-spread use of information technology in all areas of production, thus improving productivity and lowering costs; illustrate the effect of this by shifting the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the appropriate direction.
2. Suppose that a new labor law increases the minimum required number of paid vacation days for all full-time employees; illustrate the effect of this by shifting the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the appropriate direction.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. In the 1990s, the technology revolution caused the wide-spread use of information technology in all areas of production, thus improving productivity and lowering costs.
As a result of higher productivity and lower costs, companies were able to produces more.
This led to an increase in supply which then shifted the Supply Curve TO THE RIGHT. See the first graph. This also led to a drop in price.
2. Suppose that a new labor law increases the minimum required number of paid vacation days for all full-time employees.
An increase in the minimum required number of paid vacation days would have the effect of increasing labor costs. Labor is an input in Production so that would mean that production is now more expensive. This would shift the Supply Curve TO THE LEFT as suppliers will react by producing less to maintain profitability. See the second graph.

If the selling price per unit is $42, the unit contribution margin is $15, and total fixed expenses are $570,000, what will the breakeven sales in units be? Group of answer choices 13,571 38,000 8,550,000 21,111
Answer:
The break even in units is 38000 units
Explanation:
The break even in sales in units is the number of units that need to be sold to earn enough total revenue where it equals the total cost and there is no profit and no loss. The break even in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Break even in units = 570000 / 15
Break even in units = 38000 units

Interest-on-Interest Consider a $1,500 deposit earning 4 percent interest per year for 7 years. How much total interest is earned on the original deposit (excluding interest earned on interest)?
Answer:
Interest earned = $420
Explanation:
The total worth of the investment after the the investment period compounded at certain rate is called the Future Value.
Future Value= Principal + compounded interest i.e
FV = P × (1+r)^n
r- rate, FV- future value , n- period
FV = ? , P -1,500, r- 4%, n-7 years
FV = 1,500 ×1.04^(7)
FV = 1973.897669
Interest earned (compound intrest) = FV - Principal amount
= 1973.897669 - 1,500
= $473.89
Without interest earning interest.
The amount of interest earned will be computed on the principal only
Interest earned = $1,500× 4%× 7
= $420
Final answer:
Mary's stock basis ends at $0 after her AAA is reduced to $0. The $6,000 cash distribution exceeds her remaining stock basis after adjustments, and the excess $4,000 reduces her share of CarrollCo's AEP to $2,000.
Explanation:
The student is asking about the effects of various S corporation events on a shareholder's Adjusted Accumulated Earnings (AAA), her stock basis, and the corporation's Accumulated Earnings and Profits (AEP).
Mary's initial stock basis is $10,000, her share of the AAA is $2,000, and her share of corporate AEP is $6,000. During the year, she receives a $6,000 cash distribution and her share of S corporation items includes a $2,000 long-term capital gain and a $10,000 ordinary loss.
Mary's stock basis first increases by the long-term capital gain ($2,000), bringing it to $12,000. It then decreases by the ordinary loss ($10,000), but not below zero, so it becomes $2,000. The $6,000 distribution then reduces the stock basis to $0, as it cannot go negative.
The excess $4,000 of the distribution reduces her AEP. Her final AEP ($6,000 beginning - $4,000 excess distribution) is $2,000. The AAA is affected by the gain and the loss; the $2,000 capital gain increases the AAA to $4,000, but then the $10,000 loss decreases it. Since AAA cannot be negative, it stops at $0.
The Pecking Order Theory of capital structure implies that (a) high-risk firms will end up borrowing more. (b) firms prefer internal finance. (c) firms prefer internal finance and firms prefer debt to equity when external financing is required. (d) firms prefer debt to equity when external financing is required. (e) firms pursue a targeted debt-equity ratio.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": firms prefer debt to equity when external financing is required.
Explanation:
According to the Pecking Order Theory, managers rely on three sources from where to obtain resources at the moment of investing. The order they select to choose between one or another is retained earnings, debt, and equity financing at last. This approach was spread by American Economy Professor Stewart Myers (born in 1940) and Chilean consultant Nicolas Majluf (born in 1945).
Therefore, debt is preferred to equity at the moment of financing the company's projects.

Suppose that, in year 1, an economy produces 100 golf balls that sell for $3 each and 75 pizzas that sell for $8 each. The next year, the economy produces 110 golf balls that sell for $3.25 each and 80 pizzas that sell for $9 each. The growth rate of nominal GDP from year 1 to year 2 is _____%.
Answer:
The growth rate in nominal GDP is 19.72%
Explanation:
Nominal GDP is the value of goods and services produced in an economy in a particular year and it is not adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP Year 1 = 100 * 3 + 75 * 8 = $900
Nominal GDP Year 2 = 110 * 3.25 + 80 * 9 = $1077.5
The growth rate in nominal GDP can be calculated by using the following formula,
Growth rate = (Nominal GDP Year 2 - Nominal GDP Year 1) / Nominal GDP Year 1
Growth rate in GDP = (1077.5 - 900) / 900 = 0.1972 or 19.72%
On January 1, 2010, Sunshine company issues bonds maturing in 10 years. The par value of the bonds is $500,000, the annual coupon rate is 4%, and the compounding period is annually. The market initially prices these bonds using market interest rate 6%. The market interest rate on December 31, 2010 was 7%.Were the bonds issued at par, at discount or at premium? Why? (3 points)
Calculate the issue price. (4 points)
Record journal entry on the date of issuance. (3 points)
Calculate the interest expense on Dec 31, 2010. (2 points)
Record journal entry on the interest expense on Dec 31, 2010. (3 points)
Will the interest expense increase or decrease over the years? Why? (3 point)
Record journal entry on Dec 31, 2019 for the final redemption (2 point)
Answer and Explanation:
a. The bonds is issued at a discount, since the coupon rate is lower than the interest rate on the market.
b. Par value = $500,000.
Annual coupon = Par value of bonds × Coupon rate
= $500,000 × 4 %
= $20,000
Interest rate = 6%
n = 10
Present value of an annuity 6%, n = 10 = ((1 - ( 1 ÷ 1.06 ) × 10) ÷ 0.06)
= 7.3601
Present value 6%, n = 10 = (1 ÷ 1.06) × 10
= 0.5584
Issue price of the bonds = Annual coupon × Present value of an annuity + Par value of bonds × Present value
= $20,000 × 7.3601 + $500,000 × 0.5584
= $147,202 + $279,200
= $426,402
3.The Journal entry is shown below:-
Cash Dr, 426,402
To Discount on Bonds Payable $73,598
To Bonds Payable $500,000
Being cash is recorded)
4. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 = Issue price of the bonds × Interest rate
= $426,402 × 7%
= $29,848.14
5. The Journal entry is shown below:-
Interest Expense Dr, 29,848
Discount on Bonds Payable Dr, 9,848
To Cash $20,000
(Being interest expenses is recorded)
6. Over the years the interest rate would rise as the bonds were issued at a discount.
Problem 16-20 Using the payback period and unadjusted rate of return to evaluate alternative investment opportunities LO 16-4 Seth Fitch owns a small retail ice cream parlor. He is considering expanding the business and has identified an attractive investment opportunity. The investment involves purchasing a machine that would enable Mr. Fitch to offer frozen yogurt to customers. The machine would cost $8,040 and has an expected useful life of three years with no salvage value. Additional annual cash revenues and cash operating expenses associated with selling yogurt are expected to be $6,110 and $860, respectively. Required Determine the payback period for the investment. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Determine the investment's annual incremental net income assuming straightline depreciation for the machine. Determine the unadjusted rate of return for the investment. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
FITCH
PAYBACK PERIOD = Iniatial outlay / Annual cash flow
Annual cash flow = Cash revenue - Cash expenses
= $6,110 - $860 = $5,250
Payback period = $8,040/ $5,250 = 1.53years
Incremental Net Income = Cash revenue - Cash expenses - Depreciation
= $6,110 - $860- ($8,040/3)
= $6,110 - $860 - $2,680
= $2,570
Unadjusted Rate of Return = Average Profit/initial invesment
= $2,570/$8,040
= 31.97%

The product life cycle defines the stages that new products move through as they enter, are established in, and ultimately leave the marketplace. In their life cycles, products pass through four stages: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. The product life cycle offers a useful tool for managers to analyze the types of strategies that may be required over the life of their products. Even the strategic emphasis of a firm and its marketing mix (4Ps) strategies can be adapted from insights about the characteristics of each stage of the cycle.
