Answer:
Cost of merchandise sold = $5
Closing inventory=$16
Gross profit =$20
Explanation:
Under the FIFO system , inventories are priced using the price of the oldest batch in the stock, after which the price of the next oldest batch and this is done in turn. It is based on the principle that the first batch that arrives the store should be issued first.
Using the FIFO method of the perpetual inventory, the 1 unit sold by the company will be priced as follows:
1 units at a price of $5 = 1× $5= $5
Cost of merchandise sold = $5
Closing inventory = Total cost of golds in stock less the cost of goods sold
= 21 - 5= 16
Gross profit = Sales value - cost of goods sold
= $15-$5= $20
Cost of merchandise sold = $5
Closing inventory=$16
Gross profit =$20
In the balance sheet at the end of its first year of operations, Dinty Inc. reported an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $82,000. During the year, Dinty wrote off $32,000 of accounts receivable it had attempted to collect and failed. Credit sales for the year were $2,200,000, and cash collections from credit customers totaled $1,950,000. What accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet?
Answer:
$218,000
Explanation:
Account receivable balance = Credit sales - Cash collection - Wrote-offs
Account receivable balance = $2,200,000 - $1,950,000 - $32,000
Account receivable balance = $218,000
So, the accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet is $218,000

A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.
Governments commonly regulate the prices and quality of services provided by natural monopolies.

At the beginning of 2021, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $3,510,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $720,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2021. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $279,000. During 2021, Terra logged 620,000 of the estimated 6.2 million board feet of timber.Required:Calculate the 2021 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter values in whole dollars.)
Answer:
A. $279,000
B. $27,900
Explanation:
A. Calculation for 2021 depletion of the timber tract
2021 Depletion=[($3,510,000 - $720,000) / 6.2 million] *$620,000
2021 Depletion=0.45x 620,000
2021 Depletion= $279,000
Therefore 2021 depletion of the timber tract is $279,000
B. Calculation to determine the depreciation of the logging roads
Depreciation=($279,000 / 6.2 million)*$620,000 Depreciation= 0.073*$620,000
Depreciation= $27,900
Therefore the depreciation of the logging roads is $27,900
How to account for this $45,000? I think, this could be as Salary or dividend.
When Scott and Allison are in the store, they are the only ones who operate the register. Scott admits that, because he is in too much of a hurry, he sometimes puts the cash in his pocket rather than take the time to ring up the sale. Having cash in hand allows him to pay his babysitter and other personal expenses. Though it was difficult for him to be certain, Scott estimated that transactions worth about $45,000 each year have been handled in this way. Scott confirmed that he has not filed a personal tax return since he started GPP because he has not taken a salary.
Answer:
Scott should file Personal tax return since he is running his expenses through the money he takes in hand.
Explanation:
Scott will have to file the tax return because he is taking $45,000 as a salary. It does not matter that the salary is run through bank account or through cash but personal tax return filing is necessary. He uses the money to fund his routine expenses and this is to be reported in personal tax filing.
State income taxes paid$2,000 Mortgage interest on her personal residence9,000 Points paid on purchase of her personal residence1,000 Deductible contributions to her IRA3,000 Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area)6,000 Tax preparation fees for her prior year income tax return400 What amount may Jordan claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return
Answer:
The amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.
Therefore, the correct answer is b.$12,900.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Jordan Johnson is single and has adjusted gross income of $50,000 in the current year. Additional information is as follows:
State income taxes paid $2,000
Mortgage interest on her personal residence 9,000
Points paid on purchase of her personal residence 1,000
Deductible contributions to her IRA 3,000
Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) 6,000
Tax preparation fees for her prior year income tax return 400
What amount may Jordan claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return?
a.$12,000
b.$12,900
c.$13,300
d.$15,900
b. $12,900.
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The allowable deduction for personal casualty loss that occurs in a Federal disaster area has a limit to the amount by which it is higher than $100 floor and 10% of AGI which is calculated as follows:
Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) - $100 = $6,000 - $100 = $5,900
Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $5,900 - ($50,000 * 10%) = $900
Therefore, we have:
Itemized deductions for the current year = State income taxes paid + Mortgage interest on her personal residence + Points paid on purchase of her personal residence + Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $2,000 + $9,000 + $1,000 + $900 = $12,900
Therefore, the amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.
The correct answer is b.$12,900.

2. The units of the good that are exported/imported are 200.
3. Chart filling
Area Before Trade After Trade Change Value
Value Value
Consumer Surplus $4,000 $9,000 $5,000
Producer Surplus $4,000 $1,000 $−3,000
Total Welfare $8,000 $10,000 $2,000
4. The group that gains when the country allows free international trade.
B. consumers
5. The group that loses from free trade in this case is:
D. producers
6. A. net gain
7. The overall value of the gain is $2,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Area Before Trade After Trade Change
Value Value Value
Consumer Surplus $? $? $?
Producer Surplus $? $? $?
Total Welfare $ ? $? $?
Consumer surplus = Total quantity demanded at consumer's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price
Producer surplus = Total quantity supplied at supplier's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price
Change value at consumer surplus = $5,000 ($9,000 - $4,000)
Change value at producer surplus = $-3,000 ($1,000 - $4,000)
Total welfare before trade = $8,000 ($4,000 + $4,000)
Total welfare after trade = $10,000 ($9,000 + $1,000)
The net gain from free international trade is the difference between the total welfare value after trade and before trade = $2,000 ($10,000 - $8,000)
WellWheats, Inc. produces breakfast cereal and sells each box, or unit, for $7. The company is projecting sales of 1,000 units for the month of March. There are 30 units in the beginning inventory. Each unit requires 20 ounces of raw materials and 0.20 direct labor hours to make. The company's policy is to keep ending finished goods inventory of 10% of the current month's sales. Selling and administrative expenses for the month have been budgeted at $2,000. If the direct labor cost per hour is $0.75, calculate the budgeted direct labor cost for the month of March.
A. $214.00
B. $160.50
C. $802.50
D. $236.00
Answer:
b. . $160.50
Explanation:
Projected Sales 1,000 units
Desired ending inventory = 10%*1,000 = 100 units
Beginning Inventory = 30 units
Required production = Projected Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning Inventory
Required production = 1,000 units + (10%*1,000 units) - 30 units
Required production = 1,000 units + 100 units - 30 units
Required production = 1,070 units
Labor hours per unit = 0.20
Cost per labor hour = $0.75
Budgeted labor cost for March = Required production*Labor hours per unit*Cost per labor hour
Budgeted labor cost for March = 1,070 units*$0.20*$0.75
Budgeted labor cost for March = $160.50
Hence, the budgeted labor cost for March is $160.50.
A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $597,600 and has $351,400 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $483,600. The old machine could be sold for $64,900. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $157,400 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $99,300 per year for eight years.

Answer:
Project A
NPV = $91,771.53
PI = 1.53
Project B
NPV = $79,390.69
PI = 1.52
Project A should be chosen because it has the higher NPV
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Project A
Cash flow in year 0 = $ (174,325)
Cash flow in year 1 = 41,000
Cash flow in year 2 = 60,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 72,295
Cash flow in year 4 = 87,400
Cash flow in year 5 = 59,000
I = 6%
NPV = $91,771.53

B. 300 favorable
C. 62.50 unfavorable
D. 0
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine June’s direct material price variance
Using this formula
Direct material price variance=Actual quantity(Standard price -Actual price)
Let plug in the formula
Direct material price variance=490 ($32 - $30) Direct material price variance=980 U
B. Calculation to determine June’s direct material efficiency variance
Using this formula
Direct material efficiency variance=Standard price (Actual quantity-Standard quality)
Let plug in the formula
Direct material efficiency variance=$30 (490 – 500)
Direct material efficiency variance= 300 F
C. Calculation to determine June’s direct labor rate variance
Using this formula
Direct labor rate variance=standard hours(actual rate -standard rate )
Let plug in the formula
Direct labor rate variance =250 dlh ($15.25 - $15.00)
Direct labor rate variance = $62.50 U
D. Calculation to determine June’s direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance
Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance=[250 dlh - (5,000 x 0.05)] x $15
Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance = 0
Hubert lives in San Diego and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $851,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $476,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $281,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $71,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Hubert does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $34,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $71,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.
Identify each of Bob's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling boats.
a. The salary Bob could earn if he worked as an accountant
b. The wholesale cost for the boats that Bob pays the manufacturer
c. The rental income Bob could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
d. The wages and utility bills that Bob pays
Answer:
(a). Implicit cost
(b) Explicit cost
(c) Implicit cost
(d) Explicit cost
Explanation:
Implicit cost are the cost which a person can earn in a period.
Explicit cost are the cost which a person pays in same period for other work.
So by this, we can clearly determine explicit and implicit cost for the following statements.
(a). Implicit cost (Because salary is an earning for Bob.)
(b) Explicit cost ( Because Bob pays an amount for different work)
(c) Implicit cost (Because rental is an earning for Bob.)
(d) Explicit cost ( Because Bob pays an amount for wages and utility)

How do you do this journal entry for accounting?
- Now record the estimated cost of the returns. Estimated sales returns of $1,040, with cost of $333.
Answer:
Journal Entries:
1. Debit Sales Returns & Allowance $1,040
Credit Accounts Receivable $1,040
To record the estimated cost of returns.
2. Debit Inventory $333
Credit Cost of goods sold $333
To record the estimated cost of the goods returned.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
1. Sales returns and Allowances $1,040 Accounts receivable $1,040
2. Inventory $333 Cost of goods sold $333
The first journal entry records the estimated returns to be made by the customers by debiting the Sales returns account (a contra account to the sales revenue account). The corresponding credit entry in the Accounts receivable shows that a part of the accounts has been cancelled as a result of the estimated sales returns.
The second journal entry records the estimated cost of the goods to be returned by debiting the Inventory account and crediting the Cost of goods sold account. This cancels earlier records.
A synchronous decrease in energy prices and an increase in government spending will result in:
A) increases in output and a decrease in the price level in the long run.
B) Increase in short run aggregate supply and in aggregate demand
C) Increase in long run aggregate supply and a rightward shift in aggregate demand
D) A leftward shift in short run aggregated supply
E) Decrease aggregate demand and increase short run aggregate supply
Answer:
B) Increase in short run aggregate supply and in aggregate demand
Explanation:
In the case when there is a rise in the government spending so it would be increases aggregate demand. As AD curve shifts to the rightward, that rise the level of the price and increase in GDP.
On the other hand, if there is a decreasing in energy prices so it decreased the production cost, which rise aggregate supply. As AS curve shifts rightward, due to this it decrease the price level and increase the GDP.
So, The net impact is a definite increase in GDP, but the impact on price level is non-certain. As price level of the short run is non-certain, so we are not able to predict long run impacts.
A synchronous decrease in energy prices and an increase in government spending will result in "increases in output and a decrease in the price level in the long run". The correct option is A.
A synchronous decrease in energy prices reduces production costs for businesses which is leading to an increase in short-run aggregate supply.
At the same time, an increase in government spending stimulates economic activity and boosts aggregate demand. As a result, both short-run aggregate supply and aggregate demand increase.
In the short run, this combination of factors can lead to an expansion in output and potentially a decrease in the price level due to the downward pressure on production costs.
Therefore, the correct option is A.

Esquire Clothing is a manufacturer of designer suits. For June 2020, each suit is budgeted to take 4 labor-hours. The budgeted number of suits to be manufactured in June 2020 is 1,040. Esquire Clothing allocates fixed manufacturing overhead to each suit using budgeted direct manufacturing labor-hours per suit. Data pertaining to fixed manufacturing overhead costs for June 2020 are budgeted, $62,400, and actual, $63,916. In June 2020 there were 1,080 suits started and completed. There were no beginning or ending inventories of suits.
Required:
a. Compute the spending variance for fixed manufacturing overhead. Comment on the results.
b. Compute the production-volume variance for June 2017. What inferences can Esquire Clothing draw from this variance?
Answer:
a-1. Fixed overhead spending variance = $1,516 Unfavorable
a-2. The manufacturing was not able to reduce fixed overheads by eliminating inefficiency.
b-1. Production-volume variance = $2,400 Favorable
b-2. It is favrable becausde actual output is higher than budgeted output resulting in over allocation of fixed overhead.
Explanation:
a. Compute the spending variance for fixed manufacturing overhead. Comment on the results.
a-1. Fixed overhead spending variance = Actual fixed overhead – Budgeted fixed overhead = $63,916 - $62,400 = $1,516 Unfavorable
a-2. The fixed overhead spending variance is unfavorable because Actual fixed overhead is higher than Budgeted fixed overhead. The implication of this is that the manufacturing was not able to reduce fixed overheads by eliminating inefficiency.
b. Compute the production-volume variance for June 2017. What inferences can Esquire Clothing draw from this variance?
Allocated fixed overhead = (Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs / Budgeted number of suits) * Actual number of suits = ($62,400 / 1,040) * 1,080 = $64,800
b-1. Production-volume variance = Fixed overhead volume variance = Allocated fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead = $64,800 - $62,400 = $2,400 Favorable
b-2. Fixed overhead volume variance is favorable because the allocated fixed overhead is higher than the budgeted fixed overhead. This indicates that actual output is higher than budgeted output resulting in over allocation of fixed overhead.

Assuming that the estimator has a normal distribution, the 95% confidence interval for the slope is approximately the interval:
a. [-0.31, 0.15]
b. [2.57, 3.05 ]
c. [-0.33, - 0.13]
d. [-0.13, -0.15]
Answer:
[ -0.13, -0.15 ] ( D )
Explanation:
Given data :
sample size ( n ) = 50
Independent variable ( p ) = 1
determine the confidence interval for the slope
Df ( degree of freedom ) = n - p - 1 = ( 50 - 1 - 1 ) = 48
b ( estimated slope ) = -0.23
Standard error of slope = 0.04
confidence interval = 95%
For confidence interval of 95% and Df of 48 ; critical value ( t ) = 2.011
∴ Confidence interval
= -0.23 ± ( 2.011 * 0.04)
= -0.23 ± 0.08044
= [ -0.13, -0.15 ]
Bonita Company has a factory machine with a book value of $87,800 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. It can be sold for $32,000. A new machine is available at a cost of $455,100. This machine will have a 5-year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $624,400 to $524,400. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.
Answer: Old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:
= 624,000 - 524,000
= $100,000
Over a period of 5 years this will be:
= 100,000 * 5
= $500,000
Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:
= 500,000 + 32,000
= $532,000
The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:
= 532,000 - 455,100
= $76,900
Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought.

The Smith family wants to relocate to a neighborhood with better schools before their three-year-old goes to kindergarten. They talked with Byron about properties he has for sale in neighborhoods they would like to live in. They also mentioned to Byron that they both work and may need someone to help with in-home care for their child. Byron gave them Taylor’s name to call about childcare. The Smiths also said they were having a hard time getting loan approval, so Byron suggested that they call Travis. Which best describes the jobs performed by Byron, Taylor, and Travis?
a) Byron is a Customer Service Representative, Taylor is a Child Care Worker, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
b) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
c) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Preschool Teacher, and Travis is a Customer Service Representative.
d) Byron is a Home Counselor, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Property Manager.
Answer:
the correct answer is B)
Explanation:
Given that they spoke to Byron about properties that he wants to sell, that means he is a Real Estate Manager. Taylor came up because they needed in-home care. That makes Taylor a Nanny because Nannies are professionals who take care of babies in their own homes.
Loan counselors have no other major business besides advising people on issues relating to taking up a loan. Therefore that makes Travis a loan Counselor.
