Answers

Answer:

$34,480

Explanation:

Preparation of the statement of cash flows for the current year ended December 31 using the indirect method.

Cash flow from Operating Activities

Net income $12,400

Add: Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities

Depreciation expense $5,200

Changes in current operating assets and liabilities:

Accounts receivable increase - $7,200

($35,400-$28,200)

Inventory increase -$3,200

($41,400-$38,200)

Accounts payable increase $9,200

($36,400-$27,200)

Accrued wages expense decrease -$220

($1,280-$1,500)

Net cash provided by Operating Activities $16,180

Cash flow from Investing Activities

Purchase of equipment- $22,000

Net cash used by Investing Activities- $22,000

Cash flow from Financing Activities

Issue of common stock $17,000

Repayment of note payable -$6,200

Net cash provided by Financing Activities $10,800

($17,000-$6,200)

Net increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents $4,980

($16,180+$10,800-$22,000)

Add: Cash in the beginning of the period $29,500

Cash at the end of the period $34,480

($29,500+$4,980)

Therefore the statement of cash flows for the current year ended December 31 using the indirect method is $34,480

A company is considering replacing its air conditioner. They have narrowed their selection to two alternativesthat will offer considerable savings over their current system. If the effective annual interest rate is 8%,and the lifetime of the machines will be 15 years,what is the benefit cost ratio of eachmachine, and which machine should the company choose

Answers

Answer:

A. Alternative 1 1.88

Alternative 2 1.73

Incremental Analysis 1.34

B. Alternative 2

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the benefit cost ratio of each machine,

First step is to calculate the present value of each Alternative

ALTERNATIVE 1

Calculation for alternative 1 Benefit and cost

Benefits = ($1500)(P/A, 8%, 15)

Benefits= ($1500)(8.5595)

Benefits= $12,839

Cost = $7,000 – ($500)(P/F, 8%,15)

Cost= $7,000 – ($500)(0.3152)

Cost = $6842

Now let calculate Alternative 1 Ratio of Benefit to Cost using this formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost

Let plug in the formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost=$12,839/$6842

Ratio of Benefit to Cost= 1.88

Therefore the benefit cost ratio for Alternative 1 is 1.88

ALTERNATIVE 2

Calculation for alternative 2 Benefit and cost

Benefits = ($1900)(P/A, 8%,15)

Benefits= ($1900)(8.5595)

Benefits= $16,263

Cost = $9000 + ($1250)(P/F,8%,15)

Cost= $9000 + ($1250)(0.3152)

Cost=$9394

Now let calculate Alternative 1 Ratio of Benefit to Cost using this formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost

Let plug in the formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost= $16,263/$9394

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = 1.73

Therefore the benefit cost ratio for Alternative 2 is 1.73

B. In order to know which machine should the company choose we have to determine the incremental analysis for each of the machine

Incremental Analysis = ($16,263- $12,839)/ ($9394 - $6842)

Incremental Analysis= 1.34

Based on the above calculation for Incremental Analysis we can see that the Incremental Analysis is greater than 1 which means that the machine that the company should choose is ALTERNATIVE 2

On July 1, 20X1, Mirage Company issued $250 million of bonds with an 8% coupon interest rate. The bonds mature in 10 years and pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The market rate of interest on July 1, 20X1, for bonds of this risk class was 8%. Mirage closes its books on December 31. Ignore income taxes.

Required:
a. At what price were the bonds issued?
b. On July 1, 2019, the market interest rate for bonds of this risk class is 6%. What is the fair value of the bonds on this date?
c. Suppose that 50% of the bonds were repurchased for cash on July 1, 2019, at the market price. What journal entry would the company make to record this partial retirement?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. At what price were the bonds issued?

The bonds were issued at $250 million since the issue price will have thesame value as the face value in this case.

b. On July 1, 2019, the market interest rate for bonds of this risk class is 6%. What is the fair value of the bonds on this date?

The fair value of the bond on this date will be:

= {$250,000,000 × 4% × [(1-1.03)^-16]0.03} + {$250,000,000 × (1/1.03)^-16}

= $281402755

c. Suppose that 50% of the bonds were repurchased for cash on July 1, 2019, at the market price. What journal entry would the company make to record this partial retirement?

The journal entry will be:

July 1 ,2019

Debit Bond payable $250,000,000/2 = $125,000,000

Debit loss on bond redemption = $140,701,378 - $125,000,000 = $15,701,378

Credit Cash $281402755 × 50% = $140,701,378

Sheridan Company has 7500 shares of 5%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 15000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2018. The board of directors declares and pays a $71250 dividend in 2019 and in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the above information,

The previous year preference dividend payable

= Previous year preferred dividend payable + Current year preference dividend payable - Total dividend paid in 2019

= (7,500 × $100 × 0.05) + (7,500 × $100 × 0.05) - $71,250

= $37,500 + $37,500 - $71,250

= $3,750

The dividends received by stockholders in 2020 will be

= Total dividend paid in 2020 - Current year preferred dividend - Previous year preference dividend payable

= ($71,250 - $37,500 - $3,750)

= $30,000

Foods Galore is a major distributor to restaurants and other institutional food users. Foods Galore buys cereal from a manufacturer for $20.00 per case. Annual demand for cereal is 200,000 cases, and the company believes that the demand is constant at 800 cases per day for each of the 250 days per year that it is open for business. Average lead time from the supplier for replenishment orders is eight days, and the company believes that it is also constant. The purchasing agent at Foods Galore believes that annual inventory carrying cost is 10 percent and that it costs $40.00 to place an order.
How many cases of cereal should Foods Galore order each time it places an order? What is the total annual inventory cost if you order based on your Economic Order Quantity? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost). What is the total annual inventory cost if Foods Galore orders 10,000 each order at $18 per case? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost)

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) 2828 cases each time

(b) $4005656.85

(c) $3609800

Explanation:

The given values are:

Annual demand,

D = 200,000 cases

Per case cost,

C = $20

Carrying host,

H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 20[/tex]

  = $[tex]2[/tex]

Ordering cost,

S = $40

(a)

The economic order quantity will be:

⇒ [tex]Q^*=\sqrt{(\frac{2DS}{H} )}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

         [tex]=\sqrt{[\frac{(2\times 200000\times 40)}{2} ]}[/tex]

         [tex]=\sqrt{\frac{16000000}{2} }[/tex]

         [tex]=2828[/tex]

(b)

According to the question,

The annual ordering cost will be:

=  [tex](\frac{D}{Q^*}) S[/tex]

=  [tex](\frac{200000}{2828}) 40[/tex]

=  [tex]2828.85[/tex] ($)

The annual carrying cost will be:

=  [tex](\frac{Q^*}{2})H[/tex]

=  [tex](\frac{2828}{2} )2[/tex]

=  [tex]2828[/tex] ($)

The annual purchase cost will be:

=  [tex]D\times C[/tex]

=  [tex]200000\times 20[/tex]

=  [tex]4000000[/tex] ($)

Now,

The total inventory cost will be:

=  [tex]2828.85+2828+4000000[/tex]

=  [tex]4005656.85[/tex] ($)

(c)

According to the question,

Order quantity,

Q = 10000 cases

Per case cost,

C = $18

Carrying cost,

H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 18[/tex]

   = [tex]1.8[/tex]

The annual ordering cost will be:

=  [tex](\frac{D}{Q} )S[/tex]

=  [tex](\frac{200000}{10000} )40[/tex]

=  [tex]800[/tex] ($)

The annual carrying cost will be:

=  [tex](\frac{Q}{2} )H[/tex]

=  [tex](\frac{10000}{2} )1.8[/tex]

=  [tex]9000[/tex] ($)

The annual purchase cost will be:

=  [tex]D\times C[/tex]

=  [tex]200000\times 18[/tex]

=  [tex]3600000[/tex]

Now,

The total cost of inventory will be:

=  [tex]800+9000+3600000[/tex]

=  [tex]3609800[/tex] ($)

Dixie Chicken is about to close one of its fast food franchises. As part of the closing, the firm will sell a refrigeration unit and its cooking units. The book value of the refrigeration unit is currently $18,203.00, while the book value of the cooking unit is $3,713.00. A buyer has offered $12,454.00 for the refrigerator and $6,116.00 for the cooking unit. The tax rate facing the firm is 35.00%. What is the cash flow from selling these assets

Answers

Answer:

$19741.10

Explanation:

Cash flow from the sale = salvage value - tax(salvage value - book value)

Salvage value is the price at which the asset is sold

The refrigerator : $12,454.00 -0.35($12,454.00 - $18,203.00) = $14,466.15

$6,116.00 - 0.35($6,116.00 -  $3,713.00) = $5274.95

Total cash flow = $5274.95 + $14,466.15 = $19741.10

The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities:

Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed.
Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-oz. cans.
Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard "fridge packs."
The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows:

Mixing $286,000
Filling 253,500
Packaging 110,500
Total $650,000

The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or "kicked," from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during filling, resulting in underweight cans. This process begins by mixing and filling 6,760,000 cans during the period, of which only 6,500,000 cans are actually packaged. 260,000 cans are rejected due to underweight kicks. A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 260,000 cans to 65,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cans to 6,695,000 [6,500,000 (260,000 - 65,000)].

Required:
a. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.
b. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
c. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements.

Answers

Answer:

A. $0.1 per can

B. $3,315

C. 0.098 per packaged can

Explanation:

a) Calculation to Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.

Using this formula

Total activity cost per packaged = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost per packaged= $650,000 ÷ 6,500,000

Total activity cost per packaged= $0.1 per can

Therefore the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations is $0.1 per can

b) Calculation to Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

First step is to calculate the Packaging cost per bottle =

Using this formula

Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Packaging cost per bottle = 110,500 ÷ 6,500,000

Packaging cost per bottle = $0.017 per bottle

Second step is to calculate the Total packaging cost

Using this formula

Total packaging cost = Total bottle × cost per bottle

Let plug in the formula

Total packaging cost= 6,695,000 × $0.017

Total packaging cost= $113,815

Now let determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

Using this formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs = total packaging cost - current packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $113,815 - 110,500

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $3,315

Therefore the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements is $3,315

c) Calculation to Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements

First step is to calculate Total activity cost using this formula

Total activity cost = Mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost == $286,000 + $253,500 + $113,815

Total activity cost == $653,315

Now let determine the Expected total activity cost per packaged can

Using this formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles

Let plug in the formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can= $653,315 ÷ 6,695,000

Expected total activity cost per packaged can=0.098 per packaged can

Therefore the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements is 0.098 per packaged can

Units-of-activity Depreciation A truck acquired at a cost of $160,000 has an estimated residual value of $10,350, has an estimated useful life of 41,000 miles, and was driven 3,300 miles during the year. Determine the following. If required, round your answer for the depreciation rate to two decimal places. (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The depreciation rate $fill in the blank 2 per mile (c) The units-of-activity depreciation for the year $fill in the blank 3

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Truck = $160,000

Residual Value = $10,350

Useful Life = 41,000 miles

a. Depreciable Cost = Cost of Truck / Residual Value

Depreciable Cost = $160,000 - $10,350

Depreciable Cost = $149,650

b. Depreciation Rate = Depreciable Cost / Useful Life

Depreciation Rate = $149,650 / 41,000

Depreciation Rate = $3.65 per mile

c. Number of miles driven during the year = 3,300

Depreciation for the Year = Depreciation Rate * Number of miles driven during the year

Depreciation for the Year = $3.65 per mile * 3,300

Depreciation for the Year = $12,045

As you may be aware, we have for the past year been considering changing our approach to interns. Your management council recently made a decision to offer compensation to the interns in our internship program because we learned that in two fields (computer science and information systems) interns are usually paid, which is the norm. However, we will be unable to offer any more than three internships.

In collaboration with our nearby college, we have narrowed the field to six excellent candidates. These six candidates will be interviewed. This is to inform you that you are required to attend three interviewing sessions for these student candidates. Your presence is needed at these sessions to help us avoid making poor selections.

You should mark your calendars for the following three times. We are scheduling the first set of interviews for April 5 to meet in the conference room. Please examine all the candidates’ résumés, which are attached, and send me your ranking lists.

The second interviewing session is scheduled for April 8 in Office 22 (the conference room was already scheduled). On April 11 we can finish up in the conference room. All of the meetings will start at 2 p.m. In view of the fact that your projects need fresh ideas and talented new team members, I should not have to urge you to attend and be well prepared.

It is essential that the student does research on the professions that are most consistent with their profile, it is important to read about the functions of each profession, take vocational tests, talk to other professionals, etc., so that their decision is more effective.

b. Using the five-step decision-making approach , analyze your decision and conclude with your "best" choice.

1- Identify your goals: In choosing a professional career, identifying your life goals is essential to set more achievable goals and stay focused.

2- Gather information: The more you research about the career options you intend to pursue, the easier it will be to understand the aspects that will lead to a successful decision. It is important to gather information from different sources, through internet searches, books, conversations with other workers, etc.

3- Check the consequences: This step is important for the individual to be able to see his decision in a broad sense, from the positive and negative aspects that every profession has, and thus analyze whether he will be able to deal with all of them in the best way.

4- Make the decision: In the penultimate stage the decision is made, so far you have already gathered essential information that will lead you to the decision. In the example of career choice, the decision is extremely important and can impact a person's entire life, so it is common for doubts and uncertainties to arise from the decision.

5- Evaluation of the decision: This is the step that will assist in the realization of a good decision, as in the correction of problems and development of skills that contribute to make your decision the best possible and in line with your objectives.

Transaction Net Exports Net Capital Outflow Increase Decrease Increase Decrease An American buys a Sony TV. An American buys a share of Sony stock. The Japanese car manufacturer Nissan builds a factory in Ohio. A German citizen buys an Apple computer.

On December 27, 2020, Roberta purchased four tickets to a charity ball sponsored by the city of San Diego for the benefit of underprivileged children. Each ticket cost $125 and had a fair market value of $25. On the same day as the purchase, Roberta gave the tickets to the minister of her church for personal use by his family. At the time of the gift of the tickets, Roberta pledged $11,050 to the building fund of her church. The pledge was satisfied by a check dated December 31, 2020, but not mailed until January 3, 2021.

a. Presuming Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, she can deduct $_________ for the tickets and $____________ for the pledge as a charitable contribution for 2018.
b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta were an accrual basis taxpayer?

Answers

Answer:

a. Presuming that Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, how much can she deduct as a charitable contribution for 2020?

Roberta can deduct ($125 x 4) - ($25 x 4) = $500 - $100 = $500. She cannot deduct the check because it was not mailed before December 31.

b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta was an accrual basis taxpayer? Explain.

As an accrual taxpayer, she could deduct $500 + $11,050 = $11,550. She had already written the check and the fact that it was mailed on January 3 doesn't make a difference for an accrual taxpayer.

Suppose we want to estimate the effects of alcohol consumption (alcohol) on college grade point average (cGPA). In addition to collecting information on grade point averages and alcohol usage, we also obtain attendance information (say, percentage of lectures attended, called attend). A standardized test score (say, SAT) and high school GPA (hsGPA) are also available
(i) Should we include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model? (Think about how you would interpret beta-alcohol.)
(ii) Should SAT and hsGPA be included as explanatory variables? Explain.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

(i) Should we include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model? (Think about how you would interpret beta-alcohol.)

No. We should not include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model. This is due to the fact that a high degree of negative correlation exists between attend along with alcohol and including both of them will bring about multi collinearity.

(ii) Should SAT and hsGPA be included as explanatory variables? Explain.

Yes. SAT and hsGPA should be included as explanatory variables. This is important to overcome bias of the model.

When Should we include Attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model

(i) So according to me, my answer will be No. We should not include Attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in multiple factors of the regression model. This is due to the fact that is a high degree of negative correlation exists between the attend also, along with alcohol, and including both of them will bring about multicollinearity.

(ii) When the variables  of SAT AND hsGPA my answer will be Yes. SAT and HSDPA should be included as explanatory variables. This is most important to overcome the bias of the model.

Future Value (FV) = $100,000

Rate of interest = 10% yearly

Rate of interest (Rate) = 10%÷ 2 = 5% semiannually

Number of period (Nper) = 9 × 2 = 18

Face value = $100,000

Payment (pmt) = $100,000 × (6%÷2) = $3,000

By putting the value in excel present value formula, we get,

Compute Mr. and Mrs. Kim's qualified residence interest. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Qualified residence interest________

Answers

Answer:

$53,577

Explanation:

Computation for Mr. and Mrs. Kim's qualified residence interest

Using this formula

Qualified residence interest=(Acquisition debt ÷ Total debt) ×Total interest

Where,

Total Acquisition=$ 969,800+ 361,000

Total Acquisition=$1,330,800

Total debt =$ 45,000 +26,300

Total debt=$71,300

Let plug in the formula

Qualified residence interest=(1,000,000÷$1,330,800)×$71,300

Qualified residence interest=$53,577

Therefore the Qualified residence interest is $53,577

An even numbered card is chosen randomly from a set of cards labeled with the numbers 1 through 8. A second even numbered card is chosen after the first card is replaced. Are these dependent or independent events?
a.
dependent
b.
independent

Answers

Answer:

independent. This is a fun question. I never thought about how I would explain it before.

Explanation:

Can you think of anything that might influence the second even card being drawn?

Let's make the question a whole lot easier. Suppose you have a coin and it's a fair one just coming from the mint. Suppose you toss it and you get either heads or tails. Can you think of a reason why you should get the same thing again or put another way, can you guess what you are going to get next?If you can't then the tosses are independent of each other. You haven't replaced anything, like once you get a tails, you weight the coin so you can never get tails again. That would be a dependent event.If you can guess consistently, you better submit a written paper to a math journal.

Now go back your your question. You replaced the card. The odds are the same as for the first toss. Is there anything that has changed your mind about being able to guess.

You can't guess, so the events are independent.

What is their relationship like? What factors come into play? Beagles, greyhounds, German shepherds, and even tiny toy poodles are all related to the same majestic wild animal, the wolf. In fact, all domestic dogs are descended from wolves. There are several species of wolf, including the gray wolf, the arctic wolf, the red wolf, the white wolf, and the Mexican wolf. Wolves are some of the most widespread mammals. Populations of wolves exist in almost as many places around the globe as humans do.Wolves are exceptional pack hunters. This is why they are able to take down large prey such as moose or deer by working together as a seamless team. Wolf pups as young as eight months old begin helping on the hunt. Wolves can reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour when chasing prey, and their thick, double-coated fur enables them to keep warm in even the coldest arctic temperatures. Their large, powerful paws can reach up to 5 inches across and help to propel them quickly across the snow.Next time you're playing fetch with your furry friend, think about its ancestor, the wolf.

Depending upon the species, you might end up with a grolar bear, a wolfdog, or a Savannah cat, among many others. What do these animals have in common? They're hybrids. Sometimes hybrids happen naturally in the wild, but usually, hybrids are the result of humans selectively breeding animals.Grolar bears and pizzlies are the result of crossing polar bears and grizzly bears. These hybrids were first seen in zoos, as the bears' natural habitats did not normally overlap. Recently, these hybrids have started appearing in the wild. Due to climate change, the bears' once-separate habitats are beginning to overlap. Bigger and more aggressive than their parents, grolar bears and pizzlies could pose a risk to natural habitats and humans.Wolfdogs are, as their name suggests, the result of crossing a wolf with a domestic dog. Bred for the pet trade, these hybrids do not often happen in the wild. Wolfdogs do not make good pets, however, as they can be destructive and aggressive. Many states have outlawed keeping wolfdogs because they can pose a danger to people.Savannah cats are another example of human-made hybrids that were developed to be pets. Savannahs are the result of crossing a small wildcat called a serval with a domestic housecat. They look like miniature versions of the wildcat, which is why many people like keeping them as pets. Like the wolfdog, however, Savannahs do not make ideal house pets. They can be destructive, and usually, they keep the wild nature of the serval.There are many more examples of human-made hybrid animals. Some hybrids, such as the mule, have been helpful to humans. Unfortunately, others, like the wolfdog or Savannah cat, should not have been made in the first place.How is the overall structure of "The Wolves Among Us" similar to the structure of "The Necessity of Hybrids"?A.
