Answer:
Dr Bond Payable 2,100,000
Dr Loss on bond redemption 152,250
Cr Discount on bond 47,250
Cr Cash 2,205,000
(to record the redemption on bond as at Jul 1st 2022 at 105%)
Explanation:
As Bond redemption takes place, the Bond payable account ( which has the Credit side) and Discount on bonds payable ( which has the Debit side) should be fully lifted out of the Balance Sheet. Thus, we Debit Bond redemption by the recorded amount of $2,100,000 and Credit Discount on bonds at the recorded amount of $47,250.
The Cash paid out for bond redemption is 2,100,000 x 105% = $2,205,000 which is credited as cash decreases.
The difference between Debit and Credit side of the 03 entries described above ( 2,205,000 - 2,100,000 - 47,250 = 152,250) will be recorded as Debit to Loss on bond redemption account.
Final answer:
You need to make a journal entry to record the redemption of bonds payable at 105 by Sandhill Co. on July 1, 2022.
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the redemption of bonds payable at 105 by Sandhill Co. on July 1, 2022, would be:

Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable.
Answer:
Standard quantity = Actual units produced × 0.50 pound per unit
= 54,120 × 0.50
= 27,060 pounds
Standard hours = Actual units produced × 1/6 hour per unit
= 54,120 × 1/6
= 9,020 hours
Actual rate per hour = $186, 660 ÷ 9,150 hours
= $20.4
(a) (i) Direct material price variance:
= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
= (30,000 × $5.15) - (30,000 × $5.10)
= $154,500 - $153,000
= $1,500 Unfavorable
(ii) Direct material quantity variance:
= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)
= (30,000 × $5.10) - (27,060 × $5.10)
= $153,000 - $138,006
= $14,994 Unfavorable
(b) (i) Direct labor rate variances:
= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)
= (9,150 × $20.4) - (9,150 × $21.40)
= $186,660 - $195,810
= $9,150 Favorable
(ii) Direct labor efficiency variances:
= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)
= (9,150 × $21.40) - (9,020 × $21.40)
= $195,810 - $193,028
= $2,782 Unfavorable
A rich uncle wants to make you a millionaire. How much money must he deposit in a trust fund paying 12% compounded quarterly at the time of your birth to yield $1,000,000 when you retire at age 60? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
P=24.92 per quarter
Explanation:
this problem can be solved applying the concept of annuity, keep in mind that an annuity is a formula which allows you to calculate the future value of future payments affected by an interest rate.by definition the future value of an annuity is given by:
[tex]s_{n} =P*\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1 }{i}[/tex]
where [tex]s_{n}[/tex] is the future value of the annuity, [tex]i[/tex] is the interest rate for every period payment, n is the number of payments, and P is the regular amount paid. so applying to this particular problem, we have:
[tex]s_{60*4} =P*\frac{(1+(0.12/4))^{60*4}-1 }{(0.12/4)}[/tex]
we will asume that deposits are made as interest is compounded it is quarterly thats why we multiply 60 and 4 and also we divide 12% into 4, so:
[tex]1,000,000 =P*\frac{(1+(0.12/4))^{60*4}-1 }{(0.12/4)}[/tex]
solving P
P=24.92

Burgundy Manufacturing uses a process cost system and computes cost using the weighted average method. During the current period, the beginning work-in-process inventory cost was $13,525. Manufacturing cost added was $57,000. If Burgundy's ending work-in-process inventory was valued at $15,100, then cost of goods transferred must have been?
Answer:
$55,425
Explanation:
The computation of the costs of goods transferred is shown below:
= Beginning work-in-process inventory cost + manufacturing cost added - ending work-in-process inventory cost
= $13,525 + $57,000 - $15,100
= $55,425
We simply added the Beginning work-in-process inventory cost and deduct the ending work-in-process inventory cost to the manufacturing cost so that the correct amount can come.
The Adkins Corporation’s December 31, 20x4, balance sheet had a Common Stock balance of $975,000 and a Retained Earnings balance of $535,000. The cash budget for 20x5 shows payment of dividends of $24,375 and purchase of $100,000 of the corporation’s own stock to be used for stock options for key employees. The budgeted income statement shows net income for 20x5 of $127,000. Determine the total stockholders’ equity on the budgeted balance sheet at December 31, 20x5.
Answer:
$1,512,625
Explanation:
The computation of the total stockholders’ equity is shown below:
= Common stock balance + retained earnings balance + net income - dividend paid - purchase of common stock
= $975,000 + $535,000 + $127,000 - $24,375 - $ $100,000
= $1,512,625
We added the Common stock balance, retained earnings balance, net income and deducted the dividend paid and purchase of common stock so that the accurate amount can come.
On September 1, 2020, Concord Corporation acquired Skysong Enterprises for a cash payment of $790,000. At the time of purchase, Skysongâs balance sheet showed assets of $630,000, liabilities of $180,000, and ownersâ equity of $450,000. The fair value of Skysongâs assets is estimated to be $890,000.Compute the amount of goodwill acquired by Concord.
Answer:
$710,000
Explanation:
For computing the cost of the goodwill, first we have to calculate the fair value of the net asset which is shown below:
The fair value of net asset = The fair value of Skysongâs assets - the fair value of liabilities
= $890,000 - $180,000
= $710,000
And, the acquired value of Skysong Enterprises for cash is $790,000
So, the goodwill would be
= $790,000 - $710,000
= $80,000
What is the definition of derived demand?
a. consumer demand for a product, stimulated by lack of availability of another product
b. demand, due to advertising, for goods and services that are luxuries rather than basic necessities
c. demand for goods and services that are factors of production for other goods and services
d. consumer demand for a product, stimulated by the presence of another product in the marketplace
Answer:
Letter c is correct. Demand for goods and services that are factors of production for other goods and services.
Explanation:
Derived demand is characterized by the ability of one good or service to produce another good and related service. This is a growing demand when other types of products and services are needed to complete the production of some product or service, such as raw materials, labor and capital.
The behavior of derived demand is elastic when demand for final goods increases. An example of a derived demand product is the tires of a car, when car sales increase also increases tire sales.
Geraldine Wolfe is a supervisor at Fantastigifts. She has an annual salary of $45,000, paid biweekly, and a garnishment for consumer credit of $375. Assuming that her disposable income is 80 percent of her gross pay per period, does the garnishment follow the CCPA? If not, what is the maximum garnishment allowed for Geraldine’s consumer credit garnishment?
Answer:
Explanation: The amount of the garnishment exceeds the allowable amount. Wolfe gross pay is $1,730.77 ($45,000 / 2624(bi weekly) income will be 80% which is $1,384.62. The allowed Consumer credit for garnishment is of 25% which would be $346.16 payment.
On January 1, last year, Randy was awarded 15,000 ISOs at an exercise price of $3 per share when the fair market value of the stock was equal to $3. On April 17, of the current year, Randy exercised all of his ISOs when the fair market value of the stock was $5 per share. At the date of exercise, what are the tax consequences to Randy?
Final answer:
When Randy exercised his ISOs on April 17, of the current year, the tax consequence to him is twofold: he will have to recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise, and he may also be subject to a capital gains tax if he sells the stock in the future.
Explanation:
When Randy exercised his ISOs on April 17, of the current year, the tax consequence to him is twofold: he will have to recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the exercise price ($3) and the fair market value of the stock ($5) at the time of exercise, and he may also be subject to a capital gains tax if he sells the stock in the future.
For the ordinary income, Randy will have to recognize $15,000 as ordinary income on his tax return, calculated as (fair market value - exercise price) x number of ISOs exercised. This amount will be subject to both federal and state income tax, as well as Medicare and Social Security taxes.
If Randy decides to sell the stock in the future, he will be subject to a capital gains tax on any appreciation in the value of the stock since he exercised his ISOs. The capital gains tax rate will depend on how long Randy held the stock before selling it. If he holds the stock for at least one year, he will qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rate, which is generally lower than the ordinary income tax rate. If he sells the stock before one year, he will be subject to the short-term capital gains tax rate.

Assume the following for the town of Boone: it has a total population of 40,000 people, of which 1,000 are under 16 years of age or are institutionalized; 5,000 are full-time students who are not employed and are not seeking work; and 30,000 are employed. The rest of the people are out of work but have been actively seeking work within the past four weeks. What is Boone's unemployment rate?
Final answer:
To calculate the unemployment rate in Boone, subtract the number of employed individuals from the labor force and divide that number by the labor force. Multiply the result by 100 to get the unemployment rate.
Explanation:
To calculate the unemployment rate in Boone, we need to know the number of unemployed people and the total labor force. The labor force consists of employed individuals and those who are unemployed but actively seeking work.
Given that the total population is 40,000 and the number of people under 16 or institutionalized is 1,000, we subtract this from the total population to get the labor force: 40,000 - 1,000 = 39,000.
The number of employed individuals in Boone is 30,000, so we can calculate the number of unemployed individuals by subtracting the employed individuals from the labor force: 39,000 - 30,000 = 9,000.
The unemployment rate is then calculated by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by the labor force and multiplying by 100: (9,000 / 39,000) * 100 = 23.1%.

Upstream from Umami Snacks is the set of firms that supply the raw materials, information, and expertise to make the seaweed crisps. The recipe for seaweed crisps is quite simple: nori (red seaweed), olive oil, and spices. From its production of wasabi peas and arare, Umami already has a supplier of olive oil and spices, but it needs to find a supplier for the nori. Nori can be purchased from international suppliers in Korea and China and from local suppliers. A number of factors must be considered when choosing a supplier, and often concessions must be made. In the selection of the nori supplier, which two factors should be prioritized? a. Price b. Management style c. Quality d. Payment terms
Answer: A. Price C Quality
Explanation:
The price of available stock for purchase is of paramount importance to the buying company. The price determines the level of profitability and which in essence determines continuity in business.
Qualities of raw material input will equally determines the quality of the output and this affects the firm reputation.
The management style of the supplier and his payment terms can be influenced by the buying company through it's purchasing power, so they are not of much piority compared to price and quality.
Park & Company was recently formed with a $6,200 investment in the company by stockholders in exchange for common stock. The company then borrowed $3,200 from a local bank, purchased $1,120 of supplies on account, and also purchased $6,200 of equipment by paying $2,120 in cash and signing a promissory note for the balance. Based on these transactions, the company's total assets are:
a) $14,600.
b) $12,400.
c) $11,520.
d) $9,400.
Final answer:
Park & Company's total assets, after accounting for all transactions, total $14,600. This is calculated by summing up the investment, loan, supplies on account, and the full value of equipment before subtracting the cash paid for the equipment.
Explanation:
The student asked about calculating the total assets for Park & Company based on several transactions. To find the total assets, we need to add up the value of everything the company owns. The initial investment by stockholders was $6,200 in exchange for common stock. The company borrowed $3,200 from a local bank. It purchased $1,120 of supplies on account (on credit), so this is an addition to assets without an immediate cash outflow. Lastly, the company bought $6,200 of equipment, paying $2,120 in cash with the rest on a promissory note, which means only $2,120 is subtracted from the company's cash, with the rest becoming a liability. Thus, to find the assets: $6,200 (from investors) + $3,200 (bank loan) + $1,120 (supplies on account) + $6,200 (equipment, without subtracting the note) = $16,720 in total assets. Now we subtract the cash payment for equipment: $16,720 - $2,120 = $14,600 in total assets, which corresponds to answer (a).
Maren received 10 NQOs (each option gives her the right to purchase 10 shares of stock for $8 per share) at the time she started working when the stock price was $6 per share. When the share price was $15 per share, she exercised all of her options. Eighteen months later she sold all of the shares for $20 per share. How much gain will Maren recognize on the sale of the shares and how much tax will she pay assuming her marginal tax rate is 37 percent?a. $0 gain and $0 tax. b. $560 gain and $84 tax. c. $560 gain and $196 tax. d. 1120 gain and $168 tax.
Answer:
$500 gain and $185 tax
Explanation:
Sale of share = No. of NQOs × No. of shares × Selling price per share
= 10 × 10 × $20
= $2,000
Basis = No. of NQOs × No. of shares × share price @$15
= 10 × 10 × $15
= $1,500
Gain realised = Sale of share - Basis
= $2,000 - $1,500
= $500
The tax is calculated as follows:
= Gain realised × marginal tax rate
= $500 × 37%
= $185
Answer:
$500 gain and $100 tax
Explanation:
The gain realized is $500 (100 shares × $20) less basis (100 shares × $15 exercise price). The tax is calculated as follows: $500 × 20% (preferential rate).

1. Prepare the journal entry to record Tamas Company’s issuance of 6,300 shares of $100 par value, 7% cumulative preferred stock for $103 cash per share. 2. Assuming the facts in part 1, if Tamas declares a year-end cash dividend, what is the amount of dividend paid to preferred shareholders? (Assume no dividends in arrears.)
Answer:
2. $44,100
Explanation:
1. The Journal entry is as follows:
Cash (6,300 × $103) A/c Dr. $648,900
To Preferred Stock (6,300 × $100) $630,000
To APIC - Preferred Stock (6,300 × $3) $18,900
(Record issuance of Preferred Stock)
2. Preferred dividend:
= Dividend per preferred share × Number of preferred shares
= ($100 × 7%) × 6,300
= $7 × 6,300
= $44,100
To record Tamas Company's issuance of preferred stock, use a journal entry. To calculate the dividend paid to preferred shareholders, use the formula: Dividend Paid = Number of Preferred Shares x Dividend Rate x Par Value.
Explanation:To record Tamas Company's issuance of 6,300 shares of $100 par value, 7% cumulative preferred stock for $103 cash per share, the journal entry would be:
Debit: Cash for $649,900 ($103 x 6,300)Credit: Preferred Stock for $630,000 ($100 x 6,300)Credit: Additional Paid-in Capital on Preferred Stock for $19,900 ($649,900 - $630,000)If Tamas declares a year-end cash dividend, the amount of dividend paid to preferred shareholders can be calculated using the formula:
Dividend Paid = Number of Preferred Shares x Dividend Rate x Par Value
In this case, assuming no dividends in arrears, the dividend rate is 7% (given in the question) and the par value is $100. Therefore, the dividend paid to preferred shareholders would be $44,100 ($100 x 6,300 x 7%).

Lindsay Electronics, a small manufacturer of electronic research equipment, has approximately 6 comma 800 items in its inventory and has hired Joan Blasco-Paul to manage its inventory. Joan has determined that 10% of the items in inventory are A items, 31% are B items, and 59% are C items. She would like to set up a system in which all A items are counted monthly (every 22 working days), all B items are counted quarterly (every 61 working days), and all C items are counted semiannually (every 124 working days). How many items need to be counted each day?
Answer:
97.8 or 98 items
Explanation:
A items:
= Percent of items in inventory × No. of items
= 0.1 × 6,800
= 680
B items:
= Percent of items in inventory × No. of items
= 0.31 × 6,800
= 2,108
C Items:
= Percent of items in inventory × No. of items
= 0.59 × 6,800
= 4,012
Units to be counted everyday:
[tex]=\frac{A\ items}{workings\ days} + \frac{B\ items}{workings\ days} + \frac{C\ items}{workings\ days}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{680}{22} + \frac{2,108}{61} + \frac{4,012}{124}[/tex]
= 30.90 + 34.55 + 32.35
= 97.8 or 98 items
A portfolio of stocks can achieve diversification benefits if the stocks that comprise the portfolio are ________.
A) not perfectly positively correlated
B) perfectly correlated
C) susceptible to common risks only
D) both B and C
Answer:
Option A is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A portfolio can only achieve diversification benefits if the securities that make up the portfolio are negatively correlated. This is because non-performance of a stock does not affect other stocks negatively. Negatively corrected stocks are the best when it comes to portfolio selection. This will enable the investor to reduce unsystematic risk to the barest minimum.
A portfolio achieves diversification benefits when the stocks it comprises are not perfectly positively correlated, allowing for risk reduction as they react differently to market conditions. Perfect correlation does not allow for diversification benefits.
A portfolio of stocks can achieve diversification benefits if the stocks that comprise the portfolio are not perfectly positively correlated. Diversification strategies emphasize the importance of mixing a variety of investments as part of risk management. By holding various stocks that respond differently to market conditions, investors can reduce their total risk. Stocks that are not perfectly positively correlated do not move in unison, which means when one stock's value falls, another's may not, thereby preserving the portfolio's value to some extent.
On the other hand, if the components of a portfolio are perfectly correlated, they would move identically, and diversification would not offer any risk reduction. Also, if the stocks are susceptible only to common risks, then the risks are not truly diversified. Thus, an effective diversified portfolio contains assets that behave independently from each other, providing a smoothing effect on overall returns.

Storm Corporation purchased a new machine on October 31, 2020. A $4,800 down payment was made and three monthly installments of $14,400 each are to be made beginning on November 30, 2020. The cash price would have been $46,400. Storm paid no installation charges under the monthly payment plan but an $800 installation charge would have been incurred with a cash purchase. The amount to be capitalized as the cost of the machine on October 31, 2020 would be _____________?
Answer:
$47,200
Explanation:
The computation of the capitalized amount as a cost of machine is shown below:
= Cash price of new machine + monthly installment charges
= $46,400 + $800
= $47,200
Since we have to find out the capitalized amount so we consider the cash price and the monthly installment charges only
All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
At the end of the first year of operations, Gaur Manufacturing had gross accounts receivable of $348,000. Gaur's management estimates that 7% of the accounts will prove uncollectible. What journal entry should Gaur record to establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts?
Final answer:
To account for uncollectible receivables, Gaur Manufacturing creates a journal entry debiting Bad Debt Expense and crediting Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the estimated amount of $24,360.
Explanation:
When Gaur Manufacturing estimates that 7% of its gross accounts receivable of $348,000 will prove uncollectible, they need to record an allowance for doubtful accounts. The amount to be recorded is calculated as 7% of $348,000, which is $24,360. The journal entry to establish an allowance for uncollectible accounts would be:
Debit Bad Debt Expense for $24,360Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for $24,360This entry reflects both the estimated uncollectible amount in the allowance account and the expense associated with uncollectible accounts in the income statement for the year.
An investor is forming a portfolio by investing $50,000 in stock A which has a beta of 1.50, and $25,000 in stock B which has a beta of 0.90. The return on the market is equal to 6 percent and Treasury bonds have a yield of 4 percent. What is the required rate of return on the investor’s portfolio?
Answer:
6.6%
Explanation:
For computing the required rate of return, first we have to determine the weights of stock A and stock B and portfolio beta which is shown below:
Stock A weighatge = Invested amount ÷ total amount
= $50,000 ÷ $75,000
= 0.66667
Stock B weighatge = Invested amount ÷ total amount
= $25,000 ÷ $75,000
= 0.333333
Total amount = $50,000 + $25,000 = $75,000
Now multiply the weighatge into its beta
= Stock A weighatge × stock A beta + Stock B weighatge × stock B beta
= 0.66667 × 1.50 + 0.333333 × 0.90
= 1 + 0.30
= 1.30
Now the required rate of return would be
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4% + 1.30 × (6% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.30 × 2%
= 4% + 2.6%
= 6.6%
The required rate of return on the investor's portfolio can be calculated using weighted average of the individual stock returns, based on their betas and the return on the market.
Explanation:The required rate of return on an investor's portfolio can be calculated using the weighted average of the individual stock returns, based on their betas and the return on the market.
To calculate the portfolio return, we need to multiply the beta of each stock by the difference between the return on the market and the risk-free rate. Then, we multiply this by the amount invested in each stock, and sum up the results.
In this case, the required rate of return on the portfolio can be calculated as follows:
For stock A: Beta_A x (Return_Market - Risk-Free Rate) x Amount_Invested_A = 1.50 x (0.06 - 0.04) x $50,000 = $3,000For stock B: Beta_B x (Return_Market - Risk-Free Rate) x Amount_Invested_B = 0.90 x (0.06 - 0.04) x $25,000 = $900Finally, we add up the individual returns on each stock to get the required rate of return on the portfolio:
Required Rate of Return = $3,000 + $900 = $3,900
Bailey, Inc., is considering buying a new gang punch that would allow them to produce circuit boards more efficiently. The punch has a first cost of $105,000 and a useful life of 15 years. At the end of its useful life, the punch has no salvage value. Labor costs would increase $3,200 per year using the gang punch, but raw material costs would decrease $12,250 per year. MARR is 5%/year. a)What is the present worth of this investment?
b)What is the decision rule for judging the attractiveness of investments based on present worth?
c)Should Bailey buy the gang punch?
Answer:
a) Present value of the investment: $198,936
b) if the present worth of the investment which are discounted at MARR rate is positive, the investment is worth investing, while if the present value of the investment is negative, Investor should not invest.
c) As calculated in (a), present value of the investment is $198,936, Bailey should buy the gang punch
Explanation:
Please find detailed of calculation in (a) which is shown as below:
Present value = Present value of saving in raw material - Present value of increase in labor cost - Initial investment = [ (12,250/ 5%) x (1-1.05^-15)] - [ (3,200/ 5%) x (1-1.05^-15)] - 105,000 = $198,936.
Suppose that there are 50 firms in a monopolistically competitive industry in country A and 50 firms in the same monopolistically competitive industry in country B. If country A and country B engage in international trade, we expect that the total number of firms in this industry: A. will first decrease, then increase. B. will increase. C. will remain unchanged. D. will decrease.
Answer:
B. will increase
Explanation:
Assuming that 50 firms in a monopolistically competitive industry in country A and 50 firms in the same monopolistically competitive industry in country B. If country A and country B engage in international trade, we expect that the total number of firms in this industry will increase .Because after trade, assuming firms in both countries make economic (excess) profits, this will attract entry of other firms into the industry in both markets. So, number of firms will increase. The correct answer is Option (B).
KHD has 1,500 bonds outstanding that are selling for $1,000 each. The common stock is priced at $26 a share and there are 36,000 shares outstanding. What is the weight of the common stock as it relates to the firm's weighted average cost of capital?
Answer:
38.42%
Explanation:
First, find the market value of debt( bonds in this case);
market value of debt = price of bond * number of bonds
= $1,000 * 1,500 = $1,500,000
First, find the market value of common stock;
market value of common stock = price per share * number of stock outstanding
= $26 * 36,000 = $936,000
Since debt and equity make up KHD company's capital ,
total capital = market value of debt + market value of common stock
= $1,500,000 + $936,000
= $2,436,000
Weight of the common stock = market value of common stock / total capital value;
= $936,000/ $2,436,000
= 0.3842 or 38.42% as a percentage
Therefore, What is the weight of the common stock is 38.42%
The weight of the common stock as it relates to the firm's weighted average cost of capital is approximately 38.46%.
Explanation:The weight of the common stock can be calculated by dividing the market value of the common stock by the total market value of the firm's capital structure. In this case, the market value of the common stock is calculated by multiplying the price per share by the number of shares outstanding. The market value of the common stock is $26 per share multiplied by 36,000 shares, which equals $936,000.
The total market value of the firm's capital structure is the market value of the common stock plus the market value of the bonds. The market value of the bonds is calculated by multiplying the price per bond by the number of bonds outstanding. The market value of the bonds is $1,000 per bond multiplied by 1,500 bonds, which equals $1,500,000. Therefore, the total market value of the firm's capital structure is $936,000 (common stock) + $1,500,000 (bonds) = $2,436,000. The weight of the common stock as it relates to the firm's weighted average cost of capital is calculated by dividing the market value of the common stock by the total market value of the firm's capital structure.
The weight of the common stock = $936,000 (common stock) / $2,436,000 (total market value of capital structure) = 0.3846, or approximately 38.46%.
