Following are the transactions that occurred in Walker's first month of operations. You need to indicate for each transaction the accounts that should be debited and credited by selecting the account number(s).

1. Cash
2. Accounts Receivable
3. Supplies
4. Prepaid Insurance
5. Equipment
6. Truck
7. Notes Payable
8. Accounts Payable
9. Merry Walker, Capital
10. Merry Walker, Drawing
11. Fees Earned
12. Wages Expense
13. Rent Expense
14. Utilities Expense
15. Truck Expense
16. Miscellaneous Expense
17. Insurance Expense

Answer:

a. Recorded jobs completed on account and sent Invoices to customers.

Account to be Debited ⇒ 2. Accounts Receivable

Account to be Credited ⇒ 11. Fees Earned

The fees are to be credited as it is revenue. The amount will be debited to Accounts receivables because the customers owe the company.

b. Received an invoice for truck expense to be paid in February.

Account to be Debited ⇒ 15. Truck Expense

Account to be Credited ⇒ 8. Accounts Payable

This is an expense so it is debited as expenses are debited when they increase. As it is to be paid in future, it is a liability and will be credited to Payables.

c. Paid utilities expense

Account to be Debited ⇒ 14. Utilities Expense

Account to be Credited ⇒ 1. Cash

As explained, this is an expense and will have to be debited. It was paid with cash which will reduce the cash balance so Cash should be credited.

d.  Received cash from customers on account

Account to be Debited ⇒ 1. Cash

Account to be Credited ⇒ 2. Accounts Receivable

Debtors are paying the company cash which will increase the cash balance so Cash is debited. The Receivables will be credited to reflect that they are decreasing from the debt settlement.

e. Paid Employees Wages

Account to be Debited ⇒ 12. Wages Expense

Account to be Credited ⇒ 1. Cash

As explained, this is an expense and will have to be debited. It was paid with cash which will reduce the cash balance so Cash should be credited.

f. Withdrew cash for personal use.

Account to be Debited ⇒ 10. Merry Walker, Drawing

Account to be Credited ⇒ 1. Cash

The owner withdrew cash for personal use and so this is sent to the Drawings account. It is debited to reflect that it is reducing capital. Cash will be credited as it is decreasing.

Assume that on January 1, 2012, a parent company acquired a 70% interest in a subsidiary's voting common stock. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the subsidiary's net assets equaled their reported book values except for machinery and equipment, which had a fair value of $480,000 and a reported book value of $250,000. The machinery and equipment had a 5 year remaining useful life and no salvage value. The following are the highly summarized pre-consolidation income statements of the parent and subsidiary for the year ended December 31 , 2013:


Income Statement Parent Subsidiary
Revenues $2,160,000 $288,000
Equity income 60,200
Expenses 1440000 144,000
Net income $780,200 144,000

For the year ended December 31, 2013, what amounts will be reported for (1) consolidated net income and (2) net income attributable to the non-controlling interest, respectively, in the parent's consolidated financial statements?

Mark M. Upp has just been fired as the university book store manager for setting prices too low (only 20% above suggested retail). He is considering opening a competing bookstore near the campus, and he has begun an analysis of the situation. There are two possible sites under consideration. One is relatively small, while the other is large. If he opens at Site 1 and demand is good, he will generate a profit of $50,000. If demand is low, he will lose $10,000. If he opens at Site 2 and demand is high he will generate a profit of $80,000, but he will lose $30,000 if demand is low. He also has decided that he will open at one of these sites. He believes that there is a 50% chance that demand will be high. He assigns the following utilities to the different profits:
U = 50,000 = ? U(-10,000) = 0.22
U = 80,000 = 1 U(-30,000) = 0
For what value of utility for $50,000, U(50000), will Mark be indifferent between the two alternatives?

Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
Scenario: You are 30 years old, married, have two children, and household income (take-home pay) of$3,500 per month. Your credit and consumer debt is as follows:_______.
• Car loan, 6% interest rate, $10,000 balance, $295 per month
• Department store card, 28% interest rate, $600 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
• Discover Card, 12% interest rate, $2,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• VISA Card, 13% interest rate, $3,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 1, 14% interest rate, $4,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 2, 14% interest rate, $0 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• Gasoline card, 21% interest rate, $300 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
Assume all credit cards will assess a $35 late fee and ongoing penalty interest of 8% above the currentrate if you miss a payment. Your recent VISA card statement came with a blank cash advance check(for up to $10,000) with terms of 23.99% APR and a fee of 3% if you use it. Your recent MasterCard 2statement came with a balance transfer oFer (up to $4,000) with no fee and 0% APR for 12 months,after which the normal interest rate applies. You recently found an incorrect amount charged on yourVISA card from a store you frequent often. You’d like to come up with a plan to eliminate all of yourcredit card debt.
In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
Yes, you can invest the money saved each month to earn interest.
No, it will cause your interest rate to go up.
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for manyyears.
Yes, this allows you more ±exibility in your cash budget.

A company looking to expand internationally with little risk would choose?

Short-term loans usually have a lower cost than long-term loans. Identify whether the preceding statement is true or false.

a. This statement is false and a disadvantage of short-term financing.
b. This statement is true and an advantage of short-term financing.

Alternative price indexes
Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the_____using______by the_____using_____and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services.

Product Director: We need to pick the best manager for the Prensabi software project. The project involves the latest technology and is very complicated. For example, this project uses a technology called Stage, which is a motion-capture technique that does not require actors to wear specialized gear to record their movements. Since this is a technical project that requires strong technical skills, we should pick the manager with the strongest technical skills. Executive: The manager needs some familiarity with the technology, but he or she won't actually be writing the software code. The bigger challenge here is to analyze the goals of the project and make sure that it is being developed according to a strong overall vision. That's why we should insist that the manager has outstanding conceptual skills. Which of the following, if true, weakens the product director's argument?
a) The project manager with the weakest technical skills also has the weakest human skills
b) The Prensabi project is so large that the project manager for the Prensab project will be unable to take on any other projects until the Prensabi project is inished.
c) The requirements of the Prensabi project are highly unusual.

b) A management structure characterized by a wide span of control and relatively few hierarchical levels, loose control, and ease of delegation. Decision-making is often slower, as it involves a high degree of integration across the company.
c) The location of decision making authority near top organizational levels.
Similar to a tall structure, this expedites decision-making from the top down.
d) The location of decision making authority is relatively evenly dispersed across the company. This works well when creativity and independent operations create value for the organization.
