Answer:
1. Cost of the old X-ray machine - SC
2. The salary of the head of the Radiology Department - None
3. The salary of the head of the Pediatrics Department - None
4. Cost of the new laser printer - DC
5. Rent on the space occupied by Radiology - None
6. The cost of maintaining the old machine - DC
7. Benefits from a new DNA analyzer - OC
8. Cost of electricity to run the X-ray machines - DC
Where,
SC - Sunk cost
DC - Differential cost
OC - Opportunity cost
The decision to replace an old X-ray machine with a new one involves analyzing various costs: sunk costs for the existing equipment, differential costs for the new machine and its operation, and the opportunity cost of choosing this investment over a DNA analyzer.
When considering the decision to replace an old X-ray machine with a new digital X-ray machine at Northwest Hospital, it is important to evaluate certain costs associated with the change. Here is a breakdown of these costs:
1. SC: Cost of the old X-ray machine - This is a sunk cost because it has already been incurred and cannot be recovered.2. NA: The salary of the head of the Radiology Department - This is generally considered a fixed cost and not directly affected by the decision to replace the X-ray machine.3. NA: The salary of the head of the Pediatrics Department - This is not relevant to the decision as it does not directly affect the cost of operating or replacing the X-ray machine.4. DC: Cost of the new laser printer - This is a differential cost as it is a new cost that would be incurred only if the new X-ray machine is purchased.5. NA: Rent on the space occupied by Radiology - This is most likely a fixed cost and not a differential cost associated with the decision.6. DC: The cost of maintaining the old machine - This is a differential cost, as it would be eliminated if the new machine is purchased.7. OC: Benefits from a new DNA analyzer - This represents an opportunity cost, as the hospital would forgo the potential benefits of the DNA analyzer by choosing to invest in the new X-ray machine instead.8. DC: Cost of electricity to run the X-ray machines - This would be a differential cost because the new machine is expected to use less power.Understanding these costs is important as they impact the overall cost accounting and financial planning for the hospital. Managers need to assess differential, sunk, and opportunity costs to make informed decisions on capital investments, such as upgrading to state-of-the-art digital X-ray equipment or purchasing a new DNA analyzer.
Foreign currencies are traded:
A. only by banks in New York and London.
B. over the counter.
C. on both the NYSE and NASDAQ.
D. on the Intercontinental Exchange.
Answer: over the counter
Explanation: In simple words, over the counter markets are the platform in which the securities like foreign exchange are traded without any supervision. There is no monitoring authority in such markets as opposed to the structure of stock exchanges.
Foreign currencies are traded in over the current markets as these are highly fluctuating in values and the margins are very low in trading such securities. Therefore, to pay a mediator is not feasible while dealing in foreign currencies.
Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct answer is option B.
Fox Corp. has been asked to quote a sales price for additional units of its product. These additional products are above its typical monthly production run of 5,000 units. The relevant data to prepare the quote is as follows: Additional Requested Units: 33 Labor hours to produce 1 unit: 0.79 Labor Cost per hour: $89.98 Material Cost per unit: $203.05 Other Manufacturing Expenses: 18% of the direct labor expense SG&A Expenses remain unchanged at: $173,000 Required Net Margin: 9.3% Compute the COGS per Unit.
Answer:
The COGS per Unit is $286.92
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold per unit is shown below:
= Material Cost per unit + Labor cost per unit + Other Manufacturing Expenses
where,
Material Cost per unit is $203.05
Labor cost per unit = Labor hours to produce 1 unit × Labor Cost per hour
= 0.79 × $89.98
= $71.08
And, the other manufacturing expenses = 18% of Labor cost per unit
= 18% × $71.08
= $12.79
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $203.05 + $71.08 + $12.79
= $286.92
Fast Eddie’s Used Cars will sell you a 1989 Mazda Miata for $5,000 with no money down. You agree to make weekly payments for 2 years, beginning one week after you buy the car. The stated rate on the loan is 13%. How much is each payment? (A) $99.65 (B) $42.96 (C) $54.66 (D) $68.19 (E) $75.90
Answer:
C
Explanation:
We calculate the amount of each payment (constant payments; the same amount each period) with the formula attached: PV is present value, i is the interest rate and n is the number of periods.
The problem gives the following information:
PV= $5,000 (The amount you would pay if you had all the money today)
i= 13% (This rate is normally an annual rate, then we must convert it into a periodic (weekly) rate in order to calculate each weekly payment)
n= 1 year have approximately 52 weeks, 2 year have 104 weeks.
To transform the interest rate we use this formula:
Weekly rate= ((1+annual rate)^(1/# periods))-1
Weekly rate= ((1+0,13)^(1/52))-1
Weekly rate= 0,00235= 0.23%
Then we replace the values in the formula attached:
PV= $5,000
i=0,235%
n=104
A= $54,30 (It is almost equal to option C, maybe you must use more decimal places to obtain exactly $54,66)
Each payment will be approximately $54,66 each week for 2 years.
To calculate the weekly payment, we use the present value of an annuity formula. Plugging in the values, we find that each weekly payment is approximately $68.19.
Explanation:To calculate the weekly payment, we need to use the formula for the present value of an annuity:
PV = C * ((1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r)
Where:
PV = Present value (the loan amount)C = Weekly paymentr = Interest rate per period (in this case, weekly)n = Total number of periodsIn this case, the loan amount is $5,000, the interest rate is 13% per year (which converts to approximately 0.25% per week), and the total number of periods is 104 (2 years x 52 weeks/year). Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
$5,000 = C * ((1 - (1 + 0.0025)^-104) / 0.0025)
Solving for C, we find that each weekly payment is approximately $68.19. Therefore, the answer is (D) $68.19.
Cheng builds replica miniature cabinets. His costs for each cabinet are $32 each. A consultant tells Cheng that the average margin in his industry is 54%. Cheng currently sells the cabinets for $43, but thinks he should consider using the industry average margin as his target goal.
(a) What is Cheng's current dollar margin per unit?
(b) What should Cheng's Selling Price be to achieve his target margin?
(c) If Cheng decides to sell to a retailer who earns a retail margin of 10%, what would be the final price to consumers if Cheng changes his price to the retailer to reflect his target margin?
(d) If the retailer decides she would rather have a $10 margin what will be the final retail price to the consumer presuming Cheng changes his price to reflect his new target margin?
Answer:
A) Contribution margin= $9
B) P=$69.56
C) P= $35.56
D) P= $42
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable cost= $32 each.
The average margin industry is 54%.
Selling proice= $43
A) Contribution margin= Price - unitary variable cost= 43-32= $9
B) %Margin= (P-CVu)/P
0.54= (P-32)/P
0.54P=P-32
0.46P=32
P=32/0.46= $69.56
C) 0.10=(P-32)/P
P= $35.56
D) P=32+10= $42
Final answer:
Cheng's current dollar margin per unit is $11. To achieve a 54% margin, his selling price should be $69.57. If selling to a retailer who adds a 10% margin, the consumer price would be $77.30, and if the retailer wants a $10 margin, the consumer price would be $79.57.
Explanation:
To calculate Cheng's current dollar margin per unit, we subtract the cost per unit from the selling price: $43 (selling price) - $32 (cost) = $11 margin per unit.
To achieve the target margin of 54%, we calculate the selling price as follows: Cost divided by 1 minus the desired margin percentage. Hence, $32 / (1 - 0.54) = $69.57, which should be Cheng's selling price to achieve his target margin.
If Cheng sells to a retailer with a target margin of 54%, and the retailer wants a 10% retail margin, the final consumer price is calculated by taking Cheng's new selling price and dividing by 1 minus the retailer's margin percentage: $69.57 / (1 - 0.10) = $77.30.
If the retailer desires a $10 margin instead, we add the $10 to Cheng's selling price to find the final consumer price: $69.57 + $10 = $79.57.
The Holtzman Corporation has assets of $388,000, current liabilities of $74,000, and long-term liabilities of $95,000. There is $38,800 in preferred stock outstanding; 20,000 shares of common stock have been issued. a. Compute book value (net worth) per share. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If there is $31,900 in earnings available to common stockholders, and Holtzman’s stock has a P/E of 23 times earnings per share, what is the current price of the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the ratio of market value per share to book value per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. $9.01 per share
b. $36.69
c. 4.07 : 1
Explanation:
a. For computing the book value per share, we have to apply the formula which is shown below:
= Common stock balance ÷ issued shares
In the given question, the common stock is not given so, first, we have to compute the common stock value which is shown below:
= Assets - current liabilities - long term liabilities - outstanding preference shares
= $388,000 - $74,000 - $95,000 - $38,800
= $180,200
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be equal to
= $180,200 ÷ 20,000 shares
= $9.01 per share
b. For computing the current price of the stock, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:
= Earning per share × P/E ratio
where,
Earning per share = Earnings available to common stockholders ÷ issued shares
= $31,900 ÷ 20,000 shares
=$1.595 per share
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be equal to
= $1.595 × 23
= $36.69
c. The ratio of market value per share to book value per share is shown below:
= Market value per share ÷ book value per share
= $36.69 ÷ $9.01
= 4.07 : 1

Given the following cash flows for a capital project, calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8%. The discounted payback period is: Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flow –50,000 15,000 15,000 20,000 10,000 5,000 A. 0.16 years longer than the payback period. B. 0.51 years longer than the payback period. C. 1.01 years longer than the payback period.
Answer:
Ans. c) Discounted period is 1.01 years longer than payback period.
Explanation:
Hi, the payback period is the time that takes for the initial invesment to return to the investor (regardless of the time value of money), so we add the cash flow for every period until the result is zero.
The discounted payback period is almost the same, here we do take into account the time value of money. let´s check out the math to this.
Payback period
Period Cash Flow Adding cash flows Coefficient Payback
0 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00 3
1 $15,000.00 -$35,000.00 1
2 $15,000.00 -$20,000.00 1
3 $20,000.00 $- 1
4 $10,000.00
5 $5,000.00
Payback period = 3
Discount rate 8%
Period Cash Flow Present Value Adding Cash Coefficient
0 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00 -$50,000.00
1 $15,000.00 $13,888.88 -$36,111.11 1
2 $15,000.00 $12,860.08 -$23,251.03 1
3 $20,000.00 $15,876.64 -$7,374.38 1
4 $10,000.00 $7,350.29 -$24.09 1
5 $5,000.00 $3,402.91 0.01
Discounted payback period = 4.01
The only thing here that needs some further explanation is the 0.01, this is by doing the following calculation.
[tex]Coefficient=\frac{24.09}{3402.91} =0.01[/tex]
This is the fraction of the year that will turn those $24.09 in zero (taking into account the cash flow of period 5 which is 3402.91)
So, discounted payback period - Payback period= 4.01 - 3 = 1.01
Best of luck.

All else equal, if there are diminishing returns, then what happens to productivity if both capital and labor increase?
a. Productivity will definitely fall.
b. Productivity will definitely be unchanged.
c. Productivity will definitely rise.
d. None of the above are necessarily correct.
Answer:
a. Productivity will definitely fall.
Explanation:
The productivity of a firm is directly associated with the type of return on inputs. If marginal returns on inputs are increasing, the increase in an input quantity will increase output more than proportionally. If the marginal returns of the inputs are constant, for each increase in the amount of inputs, there will be an increase of one unit produced. If the marginal return on inputs is decreasing, the increase in input quantity will lead to a less than proportional increase in output. Thus, the increase of one unit of capital and labor will generate less than one unit produced. Thus, it will be necessary to increase more than one unit of each input to produce one unit of good, that is, productivity will be decreasing.
Financial information is presented below:
Operating expenses $ 26000
Sales revenue 250000
Cost of goods sold 171000
The gross profit rate would be
Answer:
Gross Profit rate = 31.6%
Explanation:
Gross Profit rate = [tex]\frac{Gross\ Profit}{Total\ Sales} \times 100[/tex]
Gross Profit = Total Sales - Cost of Goods Sold.
Operating expenses are not considered while calculating gross profit.
Here, with the given information, gross profit shall be:
Sales Revenue = $250,000
Cost of goods sold = $171,000
Gross profit = $250,000 - $171,000 = $79,000
Gross profit rate = [tex]\frac{79,000}{250,000} \times 100 = 31.6[/tex]
Gross Profit rate = 31.6%
The gross profit rate is calculated by dividing the gross profit ($79,000) by the sales revenue ($250,000) and multiplying by 100, resulting in a gross profit rate of 31.6%.
Explanation:Calculating Gross Profit RateTo calculate the gross profit rate, you subtract the cost of goods sold from the sales revenue and then divide that number by the sales revenue. Using the student's provided financial information:
Sales Revenue = $250,000
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = $171,000
Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - COGS
Gross Profit = $250,000 - $171,000
Gross Profit = $79,000
Now, to find the gross profit rate:
Gross Profit Rate = (Gross Profit / Sales Revenue) x 100
Gross Profit Rate = ($79,000 / $250,000) x 100
Gross Profit Rate = 31.6%
Therefore, the gross profit rate is 31.6%.

Megan Newell is the owner and operator of Ultima LLC, a motivational consulting business.
At the end of its accounting period, December 31, 2013, Ultima has assets of $942,000 and
liabilities of $584,000. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts:
a. Owner's equity as of December 31, 2013.
b. Owner's equity as of December 31, 2014, assuming that assets increased by $113,000
and liabilities increased by $44,000 during 2014.
Final answer:
The owner's equity for Ultima LLC as of December 31, 2013, was $358,000. By the end of 2014, after accounting for increases in assets and liabilities, the owner's equity amounted to $427,000.
Explanation:
Calculation of Owner's Equity
In accounting, owner's equity is calculated as the difference between a company's total assets and its total liabilities. Using the accounting equation Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity, we can determine the owner's equity for Ultima LLC:
a. Owner's Equity as of December 31, 2013
Owner's Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Owner's Equity = $942,000 - $584,000
Owner's Equity = $358,000
b. Owner's Equity as of December 31, 2014
After the increase in assets and liabilities during 2014:
Assets (end of 2014) = Initial Assets + Increase in Assets
Assets (end of 2014) = $942,000 + $113,000
Assets (end of 2014) = $1,055,000
Liabilities (end of 2014) = Initial Liabilities + Increase in Liabilities
Liabilities (end of 2014) = $584,000 + $44,000
Liabilities (end of 2014) = $628,000
Owner's Equity (end of 2014) = Assets (end of 2014) - Liabilities (end of 2014)
Owner's Equity (end of 2014) = $1,055,000 - $628,000
Owner's Equity (end of 2014) = $427,000
At the end of January, Mineral Labs had an inventory of 925 units, which cost $9 per unit to produce. During February the company produced 1,650 units at a cost of $13 per unit. a. If the firm sold 2,350 units in February, what was the cost of goods sold? (Assume LIFO inventory accounting.) b. If the firm sold 2,350 units in February, what was the cost of goods sold? (Assume FIFO inventory accounting.)
Answer:
A) Cost of goods sold= $27750
B) Cost of goods sold= $26850
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory: 925 units; $9 each
Production: 1650 units; $13 each
A) The firm sold 2,350 units in February, what was the cost of goods sold? (LIFO)
1650 units at $13= $21450
700 unit at $9= $6300
Cost of goods sold= $27750
B) The firm sold 2,350 units in February, what was the cost of goods sold? (FIFO)
925 units at $9= $8325
1425 units at $13= $18525
COGS= $26850
The cost of goods sold using LIFO inventory accounting is $14,175, while the cost of goods sold using FIFO inventory accounting is $11,325.
Explanation:a. To determine the cost of goods sold using LIFO inventory accounting, we need to start with the ending inventory and subtract the units sold. In this case, the ending inventory is 925 units, and the firm sold 2,350 units. The cost per unit for the ending inventory is $9. Using LIFO, we assume that the most recently produced units are sold first. So, we will subtract 925 units at a cost of $9 per unit from the total units sold. The cost of goods sold using LIFO is $(2,350 - 925) * $9 = $14,175.
b. To determine the cost of goods sold using FIFO inventory accounting, we assume that the oldest units are sold first. So, we will subtract 925 units at a cost of $9 per unit from the total units sold. The cost of goods sold using FIFO is $(2,350 - 925) * $13 = $11,325.

Prior to the 1870s, both gold and silver were used as international means of payment and the exchange rates among currencies were determined by either their gold or silver contents. Suppose that the dollar was pegged to gold at $30 per ounce, the French franc is pegged to gold at 90 francs per ounce and to silver at 9 francs per ounce of silver, and the German mark pegged to silver at 1 mark per ounce of silver. What would the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and German mark be under this system?
Answer:
the exchange rate between U.S. dollar and German mark be under this system will be of 3 U$D = 1 german mark
Explanation:
We will use gold and silver as a mean to equalize both currencies:
First equivalence between silver and gold:
90 francs = 1 ounce of gold
9 franc = 1 ounce of silver
90/9 = 10 ounce of silver equals 1 ounce of gold.
Now, we convert the german mark to gold:
1 german mark = ounce of silver
10 german mark = ounce of gold.
Finally, we equalize with the US dollars:
30 dollar = ounce of gold = 10 german mark
30 dollars = 10 german mark
3 dollars = 1 german mark
The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and German mark can be calculated based on the gold and silver pegs of each currency, resulting in an exchange rate of $10 per mark.
Explanation:The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and German mark can be calculated based on the gold and silver pegs of each currency.
Given that the dollar is pegged to gold at $30 per ounce, the French franc is pegged to gold at 90 francs per ounce, and the German mark is pegged to silver at 1 mark per ounce, we can find that 1 ounce of gold is equivalent to 3 German marks. Therefore, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and German mark would be $10 per mark.

Transportation is the most important economic factor for economic development. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why or Why not? Start a New Thread
Answer:
Totally agree
Explanation:
At the microeconomic level (the importance of transportation for specific parts of the economy) transportation is linked to the producer, consumer, and production costs. The importance of specific transport activities and infrastructure can thus be assessed for each sector of the economy. Usually, higher income levels are associated with a greater share of transportation in consumption expenses. Transportation accounts on average between 10% and 15% of household expenditures, while it accounts for around 4% of the costs of each unit of output in manufacturing, but this figure varies greatly according to sub-sectors.
Luther Inc., has 1,000 shares of 8%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017. The board of directors declared and paid a $3,000 dividend in 2016. In 2017, $12,000 of dividends are declared and paid. What are the dividends received by the preferred shareholders in 2017?
Answer:
The dividends received by the preferred shareholders in 2017 is $7,000
Explanation:
The computation of the preference shareholder dividend is shown below:
= Dividend declared - total preference dividend
= $12,000 - $5,000
= $7,000
where,
dividend declared = $12,000
Each year dividend = Number of shares × $ per share price × rate
= 1,000 shares × $50 × 8%
= $4,000
Since the dividend was paid on 2016 is $3,000
So, the balance would be = $4,000 - $3,000
= $1,000
So the total preferred dividend in 2017 = $4000 + $1,000 = $5,000
Final answer:
In 2017, preferred shareholders of Luther Inc. received a total of $5,000 in dividends, which includes $1,000 carried over from unpaid dividends in 2016 and their annual dividend of $4,000.
Explanation:
The question at hand requires us to calculate the dividends received by preferred shareholders of Luther Inc. in 2017.
Luther Inc. has 1,000 shares of 8%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock. The first step is to calculate the annual dividend for these preferred shares: 8% of $50 par value equals $4 per preferred share annually. Given that it's cumulative preferred stock, any unpaid dividend from previous years must first be paid out before common shareholders can receive dividends.
In 2016, the company declared and paid a $3,000 dividend. The total annual dividend for preferred shareholders is the number of shares (1,000) multiplied by the per-share dividend ($4), which equals $4,000. Therefore, in 2016, the preferred shareholders were owed $4,000 but only received $3,000, leaving $1,000 in unpaid dividends that carry over to the next year (2017) due to the cumulative feature.
In 2017, $12,000 of dividends are declared and paid. First, we pay the carried-over dividend of $1,000 from 2016. The remaining $11,000 would then be distributed to the preferred shares before any dividends are paid to common shareholders. With each preferred share entitled to $4 yearly, this equates to 2,750 shares (if all goes to preferred, which would not happen in reality because once preferred dividends are covered, the rest goes to common). However, since there are only 1,000 preferred shares, it means preferred shareholders would receive their entire annual dividend of $4 per share, totaling $4,000 for 2017.
Dividends received by preferred shareholders in 2017
The preferred shareholders receive the unpaid $1,000 from the previous year plus the annual dividend of $4,000, totaling $5,000 in 2017.

Answer: This is an example of the local company having a: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
Explanation: A competitive advantage is any characteristic of a company, which differentiates it from others by placing it in a superior relative position to compete. That is, any attribute that makes it more competitive than the others. It is said that a company has a competitive advantage in product differentiation when it offers a product or service that, being comparable to that of another company, has certain attributes or characteristics that make it perceived as unique by customers. Therefore, customers are willing to pay more to get a product from one company than from another.
The local company's advantage in this scenario is a 'Competitive Advantage'. The advantage is built by emphasizing native aspects like local roots which are appealing to consumers who support local businesses. Consumers perceive the local candy's higher price as an investment towards supporting their local economy.
Explanation:The term for the local chocolate company's advantage in this scenario is 'Competitive Advantage'. This advantage often stems from featuring aspects that differentiate a company and its products from the competition, making it the preferred choice among certain consumers. As a small local company, despite not having the sizeable advertising budgets of larger, national brands, it can build competitive advantage by emphasizing aspects like local roots, which can be appealing to consumers who want to support local businesses.
In marketing and strategic management, a competitive advantage is anything that allows an organization to outperform its competitors. It can be a result of various factors such as superior product offering, better customer service, higher quality, among others. In this case, the local candy bar company’s competitive advantage is built upon its local brand image which resonates with the consumers who value supporting local businesses.
As for the reason why consumers are willing to pay more for a product from a company with a competitive advantage, it's because they perceive the product to be worth more. In essence, some consumers may see any additional costs as an investment towards supporting their local economy, this is known as preference for locality strategy in business.

In the AD partnership, Allen's capital is $140,000 and Daniel's is $40,000 and they share income in a 3:1 ratio, respectively. They decide to admit David to the partnership. Each of the following questions is independent of the others.
Refer to the information provided above. Assume that David invests $50,000 for a one-fourth interest. Goodwill is to be recorded. The journal to record David's admission into the partnership will include:
A. a credit to cash for $50,000.
B. a debit to goodwill for $7,500.
C. a credit to David, Capital for $60,000.
D. a credit to David, Capital for $50,000.
Answer:
C. a credit to David, Capital for $60,000.
Explanation:
140,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 = 230,000
After the capital Allen and Daniel own 75% of the partnership:
180,000 = 75%
We can calculate for the 100% of the partnership
100% = 240,000 partnership after
David receive 25% = 60,000
but his contribution is for 50,000
goodwill of 10,000
journal entry
Cash 50,000
goodwill 10,000
David Capital 60,000
To record David's admission into the partnership, the cash account will be credited by $50,000, goodwill will be debited by $5,000, and David's capital account will be credited by $50,000.
Explanation:The subject of this question revolves around partnership accounting principles, specifically, the accounting for admission of a new partner in a business partnership. Assuming that David invests $50,000 for a one-fourth interest in an AD partnership where the total capital is $180,000 (Allen's capital $140,000 + Daniel's capital $40,000), he would need to have his share valued at $180,000/4 = $45,000. However, David is contributing $50,000, which is $5,000 more than his share value. This shows the existence of goodwill of $5,000 in the business. The accounting for these transactions will involve a credit to cash for $50,000 (reflecting David's contribution to the partnership's cash), a debit to Goodwill for $5,000 (recording the excess value of David's contribution) and a credit to David, Capital for $50,000 (reflecting David's capital account balance after his admission).
