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.
A company produces two products, A and B. It has limited capacity but unlimited demand so it can sell as many of either product as it produces. Product A requires 2 machine hours per unit to produce, and Product B requires 1 machine hour to produce. Product A sells for $6 per unit and has variable costs of $2 per unit; Product B sells for $5 per unit and has variable costs of $2 per unit. What is the most profitable sales mix for the company?
Answer:
The company should use all of its limited machine hour to produce only product B. This will make it maximize profit
Explanation:
Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource
Product Cont/unit machine hr /unit cont/hr Ranking
A 6-2 = $4 per unit 2 hours $2 per hour 2nd
B 5-2 = $3 per unit 1 hour $3 per hour 1st
The company should use all of its limited machine hour to produce only product B. This will make it maximize profit
For financial reporting purposes, an advance payment for services is NOT recorded as a revenue, but rather recorded as a(n) . It will be recognized as a revenue when it is earned. For tax reporting purposes, an advance payment is taxed immediately because the payment meets the - test. However, there is an exception which allows the prepaid income to be recognized in the following the receipt if certain conditions are met
Answer:
The correct words to fill the gaps are: liabilities,all events,year
Explanation:
The receipt of advance payment for services is not seen as revenue because the beneficiary of such receipt is yet to perform the required services that would enable to recognized such amount as revenue,since revenue is not earned the party receiving the payment has rendered the required services.
However,for tax reporting purposes the advance receipt of cash can be charged to tax without delay if the payment meets all events test.
That means all events which allow an accrual tax payer to report income or expenses have been met.
Final answer:
In financial reporting, advance payments for services are recorded as 'deferred revenue,' a liability, until the services are performed. For tax purposes, they are taxed immediately under the all-events test, with some exceptions.
Explanation:
For financial reporting purposes, an advance payment for services is not recorded as a revenue, but rather recorded as a liability.
This liability is often called deferred revenue or unearned revenue because it represents a claim on the entity's resources for services that have yet to be provided. It is recognized as revenue when the service is performed and the revenue is earned, adhering to the accrual concept and the matching principle of GAAP.
Deferred revenue is distinct from prepaid items like property taxes in government accounting, which are considered non-exchange transactions and recorded differently.
For tax reporting purposes, an advance payment is taxed immediately because the payment meets the all-events test. However, there is an exception which allows the prepaid income to be recognized in the year following the receipt if certain conditions are met.
This reflects differences in the timing of income recognition for accounting and tax purposes.
When considering non-profit organizations, the accrual concept still applies; donations are seen as payments for service in that they enable the non-profit to pursue its mission. Thus, requirements such as donor restrictions and the fulfillment of conditions tied to government grants have to be met before recognition of revenue in financial reports.

Bia garden store makes two types of gazebo. Making a wooden gazebo requires 4 hours of labor while making a metal gazebo requires 10 hours of labor. During the most recent accounting period the company made 2,000 wooden gazebos and 500 metal gazebos. Indirect manufacturing costs amounted to $52,000 and are allocated based on labor hours. Based on this information: OA. $4 of overhead cost should be allocated to each gazebo regardless of the type. OB. $20.80 of overhead cost should be allocated to each gazebo regardless of the type. O C.$16 of overhead cost should be assigned to each wooden gazebo and $40 of overhead cost should be assigned to each metal gazebo. None of the answers are correct.
Answer:
C.$16 of overhead cost should be assigned to each wooden gazebo and
$40 of overhead cost should be assigned to each metal gazebo
Explanation:
2,000 wooden x 4 hours = 8,000 labor hours
500 metal x 10 = 5,000 labor hours
total hours 13,000
single manufacturing overhead: 52,000 / 13,000 = $4 per labor hours
wooden gazebos: 4hours x $4 = $ 16
metal gazebos: 10 hours x $4 = $40

Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and the government spending multiplier is 4. If the government decreases its purchases by $100 million, the aggregate demand curve will shift to the by $ million. If the government increases income taxes by $100 million, the aggregate demand curve will shift to the by $ million.
Final answer:
The aggregate demand curve will shift to the left by $400 million if government purchases decrease by $100 million, and it will shift to the right by $300 million if income taxes increase by $100 million.
Explanation:
The government spending multiplier is a number that indicates how much change in aggregate demand would result from a given change in government spending. If the government decreases its purchases by $100 million, the aggregate demand curve will shift to the left by $400 million. This is because the initial decrease in government spending will lead to a decrease in income, which in turn decreases consumption. The opposite is true for an increase in income taxes by $100 million. The aggregate demand curve will shift to the left by $300 million.
You own a farm, you hire labor and capital to produce apples. The marginal product of the last unit of labor input is 15 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital input is 45. The market wage for labor is $8. If you are using the optimal combination of inputs, then the price of capital is _______.
a. $45
b. $3
c. $24
d. $360
Answer:
c. $24
Explanation:
At the optimal combination, the ratio between the marginal product for the last units of capital and labor must equal the ratio between the price of capital and the price of labor.
If Labor costs $8 and has a marginal product of 15, since capital has a marginal product of 45, the price of capital is:
[tex]\frac{45}{15}=\frac{C}{\$8}\\ C=\$24[/tex]
Price of capital is $24.
Answer:
C-$24
Explanation:
At optimal combination of inputs that is at the equilibrium level the ratio of marginal productivity of labor to the marginal productivity of capital is equal to the ratio of price of labor(wage) to the price of capital(rent). That is ,
MPL/MPK = W/R
WHERE , MPL = MARGINAL PRODUCTIVITY OF LABOR
MPK = MARGINAL PRODUCTIVITY OF CAPITAL
W = WAGE
R = RENT
SO , AS GIVEN , 15/45 = 8/R
SO , R = 8*3 = $24.
SO ANSWER IS OPTION C.$24
If returns of S&P 500 stocks are normally distributed, what range of returns would you expect to see 95% of the time? Base your answer on the information below. Small Stocks S&P 500 Corporate Bonds T-Bills Average Return 18.83% 11.44% 6.81% 3.84% Standard Deviation of returns 38.81% 20.07% 6.69% 3.25%
Answer: Between -28.7% and 51.58%
Explanation:
95% of the time would mean a 95% interval which would mean that it is between -2 and +2 standard deviation as it is Normally distributed.
We can therefore use the following formula to find the confidence interval,
= Average return + (2 * standard deviation) and,
= Average - return (2 * standard deviation)
= 11.44% + (2*20.07%)
= 0.5158
= 51.58%
and
= 11.44% - (2*20.07%)
= -0.287
= -28.7%
Between -28.7% and 51.58% is the range of returns expected to be seen 95% of the time.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 9.4 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 years to maturity, whereas Bond Ted has 22 years to maturity. Both bonds have a par value of 1,000.
Answer:
Bond Bill : -10.94 %Bond Ted: -22.47%Explanation:
I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.
Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 9.4 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 years to maturity, whereas Bond Ted has 22 years to maturity. Both bonds have a par value of 1,000. If interest rates suddenly rise by 3 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds?
My answer:
Bond BillNew yield will be = 9.4℅ + 3℅ = 12.4℅
Semi annual yield = 12.4/2 = 6.2℅
Nper: 5*2 =10
Coupon rate: 9.4%/2 = 4.7% semiannual
=> Coupon payment: 4.7%*1,000 = $47
Using present value formula in excel
pv=(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
pv= (6.2%, 10, 47, 1000)
pv= 890.64
=> Therefore, ℅ change =
(890.64 - 1000) / 1000 = -10.94%
Bond TedNew yield will be = 9.4℅ + 3℅ = 12.4℅
Semi annual yield = 12.4/2 = 6.2℅
Nper: 22*2 =44
Coupon rate: 9.4%/2 = 4.7% semiannual
=> Coupon payment: 4.7%*1,000 = $47
Using present value formula in excel
pv=(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
pv= (6.2%, 44, 47, 1000)
pv = $775.21
=> Therefore, ℅ change :
(775.21 - 1000) / 1000 = -22.47%
Dulce Corporation had 220,000 shares of common stock outstanding during the current year. There were also fully vested options for 10,500 shares of common stock were granted with an exercise price of $20. The market price of the common stock averaged $25 for the year. Net income was $4.5 million. What is diluted EPS? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$20.26
Explanation:
The computation of diluted Earning per share is shown below:-
Shares for vested options = (Vested options × Exercise price) ÷ Common stock average
= (10,500 × $20) ÷ $25
= 8,400
Now,
Diluted Earning per share = Net income ÷ (Common stock shares + (Vested options - Shares for vested options))
= $4,500,000 ÷ (220,000 + (10,500 - 8,400)
= $4,500,000 ÷ (220,000 + 2,100)
= $4,500,000 ÷ 222,100
= $20.26
So, for computing the diluted Earning per share we simply applied the above formula.
Finch Painting Company is considering whether to purchase a new spray paint machine that costs $2,000. The machine is expected to save labor, increasing net income by $300 per year. The effective life of the machine is 15 years according to the manufacturer’s estimate. Required Determine the unadjusted rate of return based on the average cost of the investment
Answer:
13.9%
Explanation:
Given that:
Cost of the machine: $2,000
Net income increasing: $300
Number of years: 15 => depreciation per year: $2,000 /15 =$133
=> Average Return: $300 - $133 = $167
As we know:
Average investment (Assuming no salvage value:)
= (beginning investment + ending investing)/2
(2000 + 0 )/ 2 = 1,200
So, the unadjusted rate of return based on the average cost of the investment:
= [tex]\frac{average \: return}{average \: investment}[/tex]
= $167 / $1,200
= 0.139
= 13.9%
To calculate the unadjusted rate of return based on the average cost of the investment for the spray paint machine, divide the annual increase in net income by the average cost of the investment. The average cost is obtained assuming straight-line depreciation over the effective life of 15 years. In this case, the unadjusted rate of return is 30%.
The student is asking about how to determine the unadjusted rate of return on a new potential investment in a spray paint machine, based on the average cost of the investment. The unadjusted rate of return is calculated by taking the expected annual increase in net income and dividing it by the average cost of the investment. If the spray paint machine costs $2,000 and increases net income by $300 per year with an effective life of 15 years, the unadjusted rate of return calculation would be as follows:
Annual Increase in Net Income: $300
Initial Cost of the Machine: $2,000
Effective Life of the Machine: 15 years
Average Cost of Investment: ($2,000 / 2) = $1,000 (assuming straight-line depreciation)
Unadjusted Rate of Return = ($300 / $1,000) * 100 = 30%
Therefore, the unadjusted rate of return on the spray paint machine is 30%.
Calculate the value of a bond that matures in 12 years and has a $ 1 comma 000 par value. The annual coupon interest rate is 13 percent and the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 11 percent.
Answer:
Price of bond=$ 1,129.847
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
Step 1
PV of interest payments
annul interest payment
= 13% × 1000 = 130
PV = A × ( (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
Annual yield - r= 11% per annum
Total period to maturity- n = 12 years
PV of interest
=130× (1- 1.11^(-12) )/0.11
= 844.00
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.11)^(-12)
= 285.84
Step 3
Total PV = 844.00 + 285.84 = 1129.847123
Price of bond=$ 1,129.8471
Earned $16,200 of cash revenue. Borrowed $12,000 cash from the bank. Adjusted the accounting records to recognize accrued interest expense on the bank note. The note, issued on September 1, 2018, had a one-year term and an 8 percent annual interest rate.
Required
A.What is the amount of interest expense to record for 2018?
B.What amount of cash was paid for interest in 2018?
C.Use a horizontal statements model to show how each event affects the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. Indicate whether the event increases (I), decreases (D), or does not affect (NA) each element of the financial statements. In the Cash Flows column, designate the cash flows as operating activities (OA), investing activities (IA), or financing activities (FA). The first transaction has been recorded as an example.
Answer:
A. The amount of interest expense to record for 2018 is $320, calculated as follows: $12,000 x 8% x 4/12 = $320.
B. No amount of cash was paid for interest in 2018; i.e. = $0.00
C. Effect of each transaction on balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows:
1. Cash Revenue of $16,200
Balance Sheet - Cash and Retained Earnings are increased by $16,200.
Income Statement - Revenue is increased by $16,200.
Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $16,200. It is an operating activity (OA)
2. Bank Note Payable of $12,000 with accrued interest of $320 for 2018:
Balance Sheet - Cash and Notes Payable are increased with $12,000; Interest on Notes Payable is increased by $320 and Retained Earnings decreased by $320.
Income Statement: Net Income is decreased by $320.
Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $12,000. It is a financing activity (FA).
Explanation:
1. Cash revenue increases net income and Cash Account balance, and reflects positively on the cash flows for operating activities.
2. Notes Payable increases Cash Account balance (an asset) and Notes Payable (a liability). It also increases the cash inflow for financing activities.
3. Accrued Interest on Notes Payable increases liability and decreases the net income, which reflects negatively on the Retained Earnings (Equity). It does not affect the statement of cash flows as no disposal had been made yet.
Salvia Company recently purchased a truck. The price negotiated with the dealer was $48,000. Salvia also paid sales tax of $3,600 on the purchase, shipping and preparation costs of $4,600, and insurance for the first year of operation of $5,600. At what amount should the truck be recorded on the balance sheet prior to recording depreciation expense
Answer:
The amount at which the truck should be recorded in the books is $56200
Explanation:
The cost of an a fixed asset to be recorded should include the cost incurred to purchase the asset along with any costs incurred to bring the asset to the location and in the condition necessary for use as intended by the management. The costs that are capitalized along with the purchase costs are usually of non recurring nature.
The cost at which the truck should be recorded is,
Purchase Price $48000
Sales Tax paid $3600
Shipping & preparation cost $4600
Total cost $56200
The sales tax, if it is not refundable, should be capitalized.
The transportation and site preparation costs are necessary to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for use as intended by management. Thus, it should be capitalized.
The insurance is a revenue and recurring expenditure and asset can be used without it. Thus, it is not recorded.

The January 28, 2017 (fiscal year 2016) financial statements of Caleres, Inc. reported the following information (in thousands): 2016 2015 Cost of sales $1,517,397 $1,529,527 Inventories, net 585,764 546,745 LIFO reserve 4,345 4,094 The 2016 average days inventory outstanding is:
Answer:
136.20 days
Explanation:
Given that,
Opening inventory = 546,745
Closing inventory = 585,764
Cost of goods sold in 2016 = $1,517,397
Average inventory:
= (Opening inventory + Closing inventory) ÷ 2
= (546,745 + 585,764) ÷ 2
= 1,132,509 ÷ 2
= 566,254.5
Therefore, the average days inventory outstanding is calculated by the following formula:
= Average inventory ÷ (COGS/365 days)
= 566,254.5 ÷ ($1,517,397/365)
= 566,254.5 ÷ 4,157.3
= 136.20 days
Many economists believe that the market for wheat in the United States is an almost perfectly competitive market. If one firm discovers a technology that makes its wheat taste better and have fewer calories than all other wheat offered in the market, the wheat market would become less competitive becausea. there would no longer be many buyers and many sellers of wheat.
b. it would no longer be easy to enter and exit the existing wheat market.
c. the products would no longer be similar in the wheat market.
d. the government would want to intervene.
e. individuals would not want to switch products.
Answer:
Many economists believe that the market for wheat in the United States is an almost perfectly competitive market. If one firm discovers a technology that makes its wheat taste better and have fewer calories than all other wheat offered in the market, the wheat market would become less competitive because the products would no longer be similar in the wheat market- Option c.
Explanation:
Option c is the correct answer- the products would no longer be similar in the wheat market, the reason being that people with different taste preferences would prefer either of the two kinds of wheat available in the market, therefore making them less concentrated.
The US wheat market would become less competitive if one firm's product becomes superior to others as it disrupts the uniformity of products demanded by a perfectly competitive market. This corresponds to the multiple-choice option 'c'.
Explanation:In general, economists consider the US wheat market to be highly competitive. Since the question posits a hypothetical situation where one firm devises a new technology that makes its wheat better tasting and lower in calories, the wheat market may become less competitive. This is because the products within the wheat market would no longer be similar. According to the principles of perfect competition, for a market to be perfectly competitive, all products offered must be similar or identical. This option aligns with choice c, as that firm's wheat becomes distinctively superior, disrupting the uniformity that characterizes a perfectly competitive market.

Sam buys fuel for his construction vehicles from the local distributer. He uses 8,500 gallons a month. The local distributor charges him $20.50 per order when he orders and it costs him $9.00 per gallon per year to store the gas at his farm. The distributer can arrive within an hour of his order and we have a 500 gallon tank he can fill. From a logical and reasonable standpoint, how much fuel should Sam order when he calls the distributer? (Remember how big the tank for his gas is)
Answer:
He should order 681.66 gallons to minimize the cost, but he have a 500 gallon tank he can fill, so he will order 500 gallons every time, to minimize the cost.
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
h = handling cost per unit = $ 9
S = Ordering cost per order = $20.5
He uses 8,500 gallons a month, therefore, the annual demand D= 8,500*12 = 102,000 gallons .
Therefore, the optimal ordering quantity would be= [ (2*D*S) / h ]1/2
=681.66 units
He should order 681.66 gallons to minimize the cost, but he have a 500 gallon tank he can fill, so he will order 500 gallons every time, to minimize the cost.
M. Cotteleer Electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. One of the components has an annual demand of 265 units, and this is constant throughout the year. Carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering cost is $19 per order.
a) To minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed?
b) How many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy?
c) What is the average inventory if costs are minimized?
d) Suppose that the ordering cost is not $19, and Cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. For this order policy (of Q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{265}\times \text{\$19}}{\text{\$1.25}}}[/tex]
= 90 units
b. The number of orders would be equal to
= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity
= 265 ÷ 90 units
= 3 orders per year
c. The average inventory is
= Economic order quantity ÷ 2
= 90 units ÷ 2
= 45 units
d. Now in this we have to find out the ordering cost which is shown below by applying the economic order quantity formula
[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex][tex]125\ units = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{265}\times \text{ordering\ cost}}{\text{\$1.25}}}[/tex]
After squaring both the sides, the ordering cost is $36.85
"Alpha Corporation has one-hundred full-time non-union employees. What is the minimum number of employees that must be allowed to participate in the company’s defined benefit plan?
Answer:
The minimum number of employees that must be allowed to participate in Alpha Corporation’s defined benefit plan is 40. This is based on the 40% rule explained below.
Explanation:
A traditional form of a defined benefit plan is the final salary plan, under which the pension paid is equal to the number of years worked, multiplied by the member's salary at retirement, multiplied by a factor known as the accrual rate. The final accrued amount is available as a monthly pension or a lump sum.
It is usually offered to all employees who are at least 21 years of age and who worked at least 1,000 hours for the employer in a previous year. Two years of service may be required for participation as long as the employee will be 100 percent vested immediately when he or she enters the plan.
Minimum Participation in a Defined Benefit Plan is 40% of qualifying employees. Since Alpha Corporation has 100 full time non union employees, at least 40 of them must be allowed to participate in the company's defined benefit plan.

Assume that it is now November 30th, your client has an Accounts Receivable balance of $4,500 and an Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts balance of $75 (assume the normal balance for both accounts). November Sales totaled $15,000. The estimate for the uncollectible amount is based on November Sales, and the estimate is $450. What would be the allowance transaction AMOUNT?
Answer:
$375
Explanation:
When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.
To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Dexter Metals, paid its first annual dividend yesterday in the amount of $0.18 a share. The company plans to double each annual dividend payment for the next 3 years. After that time, it plans to pay $1.25 a share for 2 years than then pay a constant dividend of $1.60 per share indefinitely. What is one share of this stock worth today if the market rate of return on similar securities is 10.24 percent
Answer:
The price per share of this stock is $13.20
Explanation:
Using the dividend discount model, we can calculate the price per share today of this stock. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends of the stock discounted using the required rate of return on the stock. The price o=per share today for this stock is,
P0 = 0.18 * (1+1) / (1+0.1024) + 0.18 * (1+1)^2 / (1+0.1024)^2 +
0.18 * (1+1)^3 / (1+0.1024)^3 + 1.25 / (1+0.1024)^4 + 1.25 / (1+0.1024)^5 +
(1.60 / 0.1024) / (1+0.1024)^5
P0 = $13.20
A company identified the following estimated data in its two production departments. During the current month, Assembly used 200 direct labor hours and 300 machine hours and Finishing used 300 hours direct labor hours and 200 machine hours. If the company uses a departmental overhead rate based on machine hours, how much overhead cost is assigned to Finishing this month?
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
1.Finishing’s departmental rate based on MH
= Finishing’s costs/Finishing’s machine hours
= $90,000/2,000 = $45 per MH
2.Cost assigned to Finishing based on MH
= Finishing’s departmental rate based on MH * Finishing’s currently used machine hours
= $45 per MH * 200 MH = $9,000
Therefore If the company uses a departmental overhead rate based on machine hours, $9,000 overhead cost will be assigned to Finishing this month
