Trainor Corporation purchased equipment on January 1, 2020 at a cost of $500,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $50,000 and an estimated life of 5 years. At the end of two years, Trainor reevaluated the useful life of the equipment. Management extended the total useful life an additional 5 years but estimated that the equipment would have no residual value at the end of this time. If the company uses straight-line depreciation, what amount would be recorded as depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year
Answer:
Depreciation per year $40,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year is shown below:
Purchase cost $500,000
Less residual value -$50,000
Depreciable cost $450,000
Depreciation per year $90,000 ($450,000 ÷ 5 years)
For two years, the depreciation is $180,000
Book value at the end of the 2nd year is $320,000
($500,000 - $180,000)
Depreciation per year $40,000 ($320,000 ÷ 8 years)
Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Answer:
(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.
Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.
Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.
(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?
Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.
The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.
This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Brix, Inc., prepares frozen food for fast-food restaurants. It has two workstations, cooking and assembly. The cooking station is limited by the cooking time of the food. Assembly is limited by the speed of the workers. Assembly normally waits on food from cooking. The current production is 3,000 dozen units per month. Because the demand has increased in recent months, management is considering adding another cooking station or else having the cooks in the cooking station start to work earlier. The monthly cost of operating the cooking station one more hour each day is $2,500. The cost of adding another cooking station would add an average of $11 per hour. The current operating hours total eight hours a day, 22 days a month. The contribution margin of the finished products is currently $8 per dozen. Either the extra hour or the new cooking station would increase production by 20 dozen a day. Assuming the company carries no inventory. Required: a. What is the total production per month if the change is made
Answer:
Brix, Inc.The total production per month if the change is made is:
3,440 dozen units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current production per month = 3,000 dozen units
Alternatives Cooking Station Extra Hour of Labor
Monthly cost $2,500
Average cost per hour $11
Current operating hours 8/day
Working days per month 22
Total monthly cost $1,936 ($11 * 8 * 22) $2,500
Add a new cooking station is cheaper by $564 per month since they each produce the same output per day.
Units added by extra hour or the new cooking station = 20 dozen a day
There are 22 days in a month, so the increase monthly = 440 (22 * 20)
Total monthly production will become 3,440 (3,000 + 440)
Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions involving the short-term securities investments of Krum Co., all of which occurred during year 2017. On August 1, paid $78,000 cash to purchase Houtte's 12% debt securities ($78,000 principal), dated July 30, 2017, and maturing January 30, 2018 (categorized as available-for-sale securities). On October 30, received a check from Houtte for 90 days' interest on the debt securities purchased in transaction a. (Use 360 days in a year. Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

= $2,340
So, Journal entries are as follows,
(a) Aug.1, 2017 Short-term security investment A/c Dr. $78,000
To, Cash A/c $78,000
(Being purchase of debt security is recorded)
(b) Oct.30, 2017 Cash A/c Dr. $2,340
To, Interest A/c $2,340
(Being interest received is recorded)
The model of competitive market relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellers-a few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical product--buyers must regard all seller's products as equivalent.
3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing for free entry into and ext from the industry.
The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers. While the third is not necessarily for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannon maintain competition in the long run without free entry.
Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not.
a. Several stores in the mall sell hooded sweatshirts. Each store's sweatshirts reflect the style of that particular store. Additionally, some stores use higher-quality cotton than others, which is reflected in the apparel's prices.
b. In a small town, there are two providers of broadband internet access: a cable company and the phone company. The internet access offered by both providers is of the same speed.
c. There are hundreds of high schools students in need of algebra tutoring services in Dallas. Dozens of companies offer tutoring services, and the parents who seek out tutors view the quality of the tutoring at the different companies to be largely the same.
d. The government has granted a patent to a pharmaceutical company for an experimental AIDS drug. That company is the only firm permitted to sell the drug.
i. Yes, meets all assumptions.
ii. No, no free entry
iii. No, not many sellers
iv. No, not an identical product.
Answer:
iv

i
ii
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
a. this is not a perfect competition because the sweatshirts are not homogenous. they differ in quality and style
b. this is not a perfect competition because there are not plenty firms. this is more of a duopoly
c. this is a perfect competition. there are many tutoring services with homogenous products
d. the company is a monopoly. there is no free entry into the industry as a result of the government permit
Crane Company estimates that variable costs will be 55.00% of sales, and fixed costs will total $702,000. The selling price of the product is $4. (a) Compute the break-even point in (1) units and (2) dollars. (1) Break-even sales units (2) Break-even sales $ (c) Assuming actual sales are $2,000,000, compute the margin of safety in (1) dollars and (2) as a ratio. (1) Margin of safety $ (2) Margin of safety ratio %
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
The Variable cost is
= 55% of $4
=$2.2
Now
Contribution margin per unit
= Sale - Variable cost
= $4 - $2.2
= $1.8 per unit
a.Breakeven point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin
In units
= ($702,000 ÷ $1.8)
= 390,000 units
in dollars = (390,000 × $4)
= $1,560,000
b.Margin of safety = Total sales - Breakeven sales
In dollars = ($2,000,000 - $1,560,000)
= $440,000
Margin of safety ratio =Margin of safety ÷ Total sales
= ($440,000 ÷ $2,000,000)
= 22%

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.
Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?
Answer:
Benzion Barlev of New York UniversityNEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:
= 81%
b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:
= 19%
c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:
= $1,246,100.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mean total cost (x) = $850,000
Standard deviation = $170,000
Revenue = $1,000,000
Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation
= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000
= $150,000/$170,000
= 0.882
From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%
Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)
To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:
(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33
(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000
= $396,100
(R - $850,000) = $396,100
R = $396,100 + $850,000
R = $1,246,100
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.

A firm has current assets that could be sold for their book value of $22 million. The book value of its fixed assets is $60 million, but they could be sold for $90 million today. The firm has total debt with a book value of $40 million, but interest rate declines have caused the market value of the debt to increase to $50 million. What is this firm's market-to-book ratio
Answer:
the firm market to book ratio is 1.48
Explanation:
The computation of the market to book ratio is shown below:
The Market values is
= $22 million + $90 million - $50 million
= $ 62 million
And, the Book values is
= $22 million + $60 million - $40 million
= $42 million
Now the firm market to book ratio is
= $62 million ÷ $42 million
= 1.48
Hence, the firm market to book ratio is 1.48

Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:
Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
In November month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 37,300
= 1,492
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,492 × $20
= $29,840
In December month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 39,300
= 1,572
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,572 × $20
= $31,440
Now the Total estimated liability is
= $29,840 + $31,440
= $61,280

Sicilian Defence, a division of Queen's Gambit Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Answer:
Queen's Gambit Corp.
Sicilian Defence Division
If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Yes.
The additional investment yields comparable positive Residual Income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net operating income of Sicilian Defence Division = $60,000
Average operating assets = $300,000
Required rate of return for the company = 15%
Residual income (RI)= Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Required Rate of Return)
= $60,000 - ($300,000 * 15%)
= $60,000 - $45,000
= $15,000
Investment cost = $100,000
Additional net operating income = $18,000
Residual Income = $18,000 - ($100,000 * 15%)
= $18,000 - $15,000
= $3,000
Total residual income = $78,000 - ($400,000 * 15%)
= $78,000 - $60,000
= $18,000

PBYI’s current BID-ASK is $59.00 - $60.00. PBYI is going to release their annual report tomorrow; you have special skill in valuing biotech companies, and you believe that PBYI has an expected alpha tomorrow of 2% compared to the market’s current best estimate of fair value. Is the following statement true? PBYI is currently overpriced. True False 1 points QUESTION 8 If you purchased PBYI now then sold it tomorrow right before market close, what is your best estimate for your expected profit after taking transactions cost into account? (in %, rounded to 1 decimal place)
Answer:
PBYI is not over priced
expected profit = $0.18
Explanation:
BID - ASK price : 59.00 - 60.00
expected alpha = 2%
In this scenerio ( positive alpha ) you can buy the PBYI at $60.00
when you buy at $60 the value will increase to ; 60 + ( 2% * 60 ) = $61.2
when you resell the security ( PBYI ) you will get ; ( 61.2 )* (59/60) = $60.18
therefore your expected profit = 60.18 - 60 = $0.18
PBYI is not not currently Overpriced since you can buy and make profit after selling the next day
Citibank need to borrow $1 million for 6 months starting in 2 years. Citibank is concerned about the interest rate would like to lock in the interest rate it pays by going long an FRA with Bank of America. The FRA specifies that Citibank will borrow at a fixed rate of 0.04 for 6 months on $1 million in 2 years. If the 6 months LIBOR rate proves to be 0.01. Then to settle the FRA, what is the cash flow to Citibank at the end of 2 years
Answer:
"$ 15,000" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Agreed fixed rate,
= 0.04
LIBOR rate,
= 0.01
No. of borrowing months,
= 6
National amount,
= 1000000
Now,
The net payment will be:
= [tex]National \ principal*(Floating \ rate - Fixed \ rate)\times \frac{No. \ of \ months}{12}[/tex]
On substituting the above values, we get
= [tex]1000000\times (0.01-0.4)\times \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]1000000\times (-0.03)\times 0.5[/tex]
= [tex]-15,000[/tex] ($)
rr Co. adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method on December 31, Year 12.Farr's entire inventory constitutes a single pool. On December 31, Year 12, the inventorywas $480,000 under the dollar-value LIFO method. Inventory data for Year 13 are asfollows:12/31/13 inventory at year-end prices$660,000Relevant price index at year end (base year Year 12)110Using dollar value LIFO, Farr's inventory at December 31, Year 13 isa.$528,000.b.$612,000.c.$600,000.d.$660,000
Answer:
b. $612,000
Explanation:
Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000
The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000
Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices= $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

In addition, you have determined the following information with respect to allocated fixed costs:
1 Cross Training Shoes Golf Shoes Running Shoes
2 Fixed costs:
3 Cost of goods sold $128,500.00 $90,300.00 $120,500.00
4 Selling and administrative expenses
95,900.00 82,400.00 143,500.00
These fixed costs are used to support all three product lines and will not change with the elimination of any one product. In addition, you have determined that the effects of inventory may be ignored.
The management of the company has deemed the profit performance of the running shoe line as unacceptable. As a result, it has decided to eliminate the running shoe line. Management does not expect to be able to increase sales in the other two lines. However, as a result of eliminating the running shoe line, management expects the profits of the company to increase by $143,500.
Required:
a. Do you agree with management’s decision and conclusions? Explain your answer. (Note: You may wish to complete part (b), the variable costing income statement, first.)
b. Prepare a variable costing income statement for the three products. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. Be sure to complete the statement heading. A colon (:) will automatically appear if it is required. If a net loss is incurred, enter that amount as a negative number using a minus sign. Enter all other amounts as positive numbers.
c. Use the report in (b) to determine the profit impact of eliminating the running shoe line, assuming no other changes. Use the minus sign to indicate a decline in profit.
Answer:
Winslow Inc.
a. No. I do not agree with management's decision and conclusions. Eliminating the running shoes line increased the company-wide loss to $112,600 from a profit of $7,900.

Ahnberg Corporation had 660,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at January 1. No common shares were issued during the year, but on January 1, Ahnberg issued 280,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. The preferred shares are convertible into 560,000 shares of common stock. During the year Ahnberg paid $168,000 cash dividends on the preferred stock. Net income was $1,950,000.
What were Ahnberg's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Basic Earnings per share=$2.70
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=$1.50
Explanation:
Earnings per share is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock .
It represents profit per unit of stock unit held by common stock holder investor. The higher, the more profitable and the better.
Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders / units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Net Income for the year $1,950,000
Preference Dividend $168,000
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders for 2021= 1,950,000-168,000=1,782,000
Basic Earnings per share=$1,782,000/660,000shares=$2.70
Basic Earnings per share=$2.70
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders/ Total number of shares assuming conversion
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=$1,782,000/(660,000+560,000) units
Diluted earnings per share(EPS)=$1.50
Exercise 11-17 Dropping or Retaining a Segment [LO11-2] Bed & Bath, a retailing company, has two departments—Hardware and Linens. The company’s most recent monthly contribution format income statement follows: Department Total Hardware Linens Sales $ 4,000,000 $ 3,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Variable expenses 1,300,000 900,000 400,000 Contribution margin 2,700,000 2,100,000 600,000 Fixed expenses 2,200,000 1,400,000 800,000 Net operating income (loss) $ 500,000 $ 700,000 $ (200,000 ) A study indicates that $340,000 of the fixed expenses being charged to Linens are sunk costs or allocated costs that will continue even if the Linens Department is dropped. In addition, the elimination of the Linens Department will result in a 10% decrease in the sales of the Hardware Department. Required:
Answer:
The financial disadvantage of discontinuing the Linens Department is a decrease of $440,000 in total net operating profit.
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is omitted but it is provided before answering the question to complete question as follows:
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Linens Department?
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: See the lower part of the attached excel file for Determination of the financial advantage (disadvantage) (in bold red color) of discontinuing the Linens Department.
In the attached excel file, it can be seen that discontinuing the Linens Department makes both its Sales and Variable Cost to be equal to zero while only its Fixed expenses falls from $800,000 to $340,000 which is sunk costs.
Since the elimination of the Linens Department will result in a 10% decrease in the sales of the Hardware Department, the sales of the Hardware Department after eliminating Linens Department is calculated as follows:
Sales of the Hardware Department after eliminating Linens Department = $3,000,000 * (100% - 10%) = $270,000
From the attached excel file, it can be seen that the total net operating income falls from $500,000 to $60,000 after eliminating Linens Department. This implies that the total net operating profit decreases by $440,000 (i.e. $500,000 - $60,000 = $440,000)
Therefore, the financial disadvantage of discontinuing the Linens Department is a decrease of $440,000 in total net operating profit.
Bluebird, Inc., does not provide its employees with any tax-exempt fringe benefits. The company is considering adopting a hospital and medical benefits insurance plan that will cost approximately $9,000 per employee. To adopt this plan, the company may have to reduce salaries and/or lower future salary increases. Bluebird is in the 25% (combined Federal and state rates) bracket.

Which of the following is not true of the 3 level variance analysis of operating income?
a. Level 2 shows the direct material price and efficiency variances
b. Level 2 shows the sales-volume variance for operating income
c. Level 3 shows the fixed overhead production volume variance as a component of the sales-volume variance for operating income
d. Level 1 shows the static budget variance for operating income
Answer:
The option that is not true of the 3 level variance analysis of operating income is:
a. Level 2 shows the direct material price and efficiency variances
Explanation:
The operating income can be analyzed in three levels. The first level is the static budget versus actual results variance, which shows the difference between the planning budget and the actual results. The second level is the sale-volume variance, while the third level shows the fixed overhead variance. This can be collapsed into level 2, with the final level showing more details about direct material price and efficiency variances, etc.
