Vick Vickers has a large consulting practice. New clients are required to pay one-half of the consulting fees up front. The balance is paid at the conclusion of the consultation. How does Vickers account for the cash received at the end of the engagement
Answer:
Vick Vickers
Vickers accounts for the cash received at the end of the engagement by debiting Cash account and crediting Consulting Fees (Revenue).
Explanation:
Then the fees received upfront, which were earlier credited to the Deferred Service Revenue account, are then closed by a debit to the Deferred Service Revenue and a credit to the Consulting Fees (Revenue) account. This is in line with the double-entry system of financial accounting and the new Revenue from Contracts with Customers, IFRS 15 or the ASC 606 equivalent.
Fixed costs are $1500000 and the variable costs are 75% of the unit selling price. What is the break-even point in dollars?
Answer:
$6,000,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the break-even point in dollars
Using this formula
Break-even point (Dollars)=Fixed costs/(1-Variable costs percentage of unit selling price)
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point (Dollars)=$1,500,000/ (1-.75)
Break-even point (Dollars)=$1,500,000/.25
Break-even point (Dollars)=$6,000,000
Therefore the break-even point in dollars is $6,000,000

Explanation:
You enter into a short crude oil futures contract at $43 per barrel. The initial margin is $3,375 and the maintenence margin is $2,500. One contract is for 1,000 barrels of oil. By how much do oil prices have to change before you receive a margin call
Answer:
The correct answer is "43.875". A further explanation is provided below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Initial margin,
= $3,375
Maintenance margin,
= $2,500
Barrels of oil,
= 1,000
Now,
The loss on the position will be:
= [tex]3375-2500[/tex]
= [tex]875[/tex] ($)
then,
⇒ [tex]1000 (P - 43) = 875[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1000P-43000=875[/tex]
On adding "43000" both sides, we get
⇒ [tex]1000P-43000+43000=875+43000[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1000P=43875[/tex]
⇒ [tex]P=\frac{43875}{1000}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=43.875[/tex]

MAD Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity financing. The company has $400 million in net income and plans to pay out 25 percent of their earnings as dividends. What is the maximum amount of new financing that the company can raise without selling new common stock
Answer:
$500 million
Explanation:
Retained earnings = Income * (1 - Dividend payout percentage)
Retained earnings = $400 million * (1-0.25)
Retained earnings = $400 million * 0.75
Retained earnings = $300 million
Amount that can be raise without selling new stock: Retained earnings / % of equity financing in total capital
= $300 million / 60%
= $300 million / 0.60
= $500 million

Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will the length of the cash cycle be after these changes
Using this formula
Cash cycle Length=Cash cycle+Increases in receivables period -Decreases in inventory period -Increases in payables period
Let plug in the formula
Cash cycle Length = 43 days+2 days -1 days - 3 days
Cash cycle Length= 41 day
Therefore What will the length of the cash cycle be after these changes is 41 days

Suppose the company incurs fixed costs of $420,000 during a year in which total production is 189,000 units. What are the total costs for the year? c. If the selling price is $8.55 per unit, what is the NSI break-even on a cash basis? d. If depreciation is $94,500 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?"
Answer:
Night Shades Inc. (NSI)
a. The variable cost per unit is:
= $3.02.
b. The total costs for the year is:
= $990,780.
c. The NSI break-even on a cash basis is:
= $503,091.
d. The accounting break-even point is:
= $647,150.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable costs per unit:
Materials = $1.12
Labor = 1.90
Total = $3.02
Total production units = 189,000
Total variable costs = $570,780
Fixed costs = $420,000
Total costs = $990,780
Per unit:
Selling price = $8.55
Variable costs 3.02
Contribution $5.53
Contribution margin in percentage = $5.53/$8.55 * 100 = 64.7%
Fixed costs on cash basis = FC - Depreciation = $325,500 ($420,000 - $94,500)
Break-even point on a cash basis = $325,5000/0.647 = $503,091
Break-even point in sales dollars = $420,000/0.647 = $647,150
A store has the following demand figures for the last four years: Year Demand 1 100 2 150 3 112 4 200 Given a demand forecast for year 2 of 100, a trend forecast for year 2 of 10, an alpha of 0.3, and a beta of 0.2, what is the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method
Answer:
125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method
Smoothed forecast for year 3 = (0.3 ×150) + (0.7 ×100) + 10
Smoothed forecast for year 3 = 45+70+10
Smoothed forecast for year 3 =125
Therefore the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method will be 125

Assume a portfolio is worth $70,000, consisting of X, Y, and cash. Also assume you invested $35,000 in X, $14,000 in Y and the rest in cash, and that X and Y have betas of 1.45 and 0.80 respectively. Calculate the portfolio beta. (Provide numerical answer to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
0.885
Explanation:
Beta measures systemic risk. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio
weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock
Percentage of x = $35,000 / 70,000 = 0.5 = 50%
Percentage of y = $14,000 / 70,000 = 0.2 = 20%
Percentage of cash = 100 - (50 + 20) = 30%
Cash usually have a beta of zero
portfolio beta = (0.5 x 1.45) + (0.2 x 0.8) + (0.3 x 0) =
0.725 + 0.16 + 0 = 0.885
0.725

Your opinion is that CSCO has an expected rate of return of 0.15. It has a beta of 1.3. The risk-free rate is 0.04 and the market expected rate of return is 0.115. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, this security is
Answer:
Overpriced
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
As we know that
Expected rate of return = risk free rate + beta × ( expected market rate of return - risk free rate )
= 0.04 + 1.3 × (0.115 - 0.04)
= 0.1375
As the return of the security is 0.1375 i.e. more than the expected rate of return i.e. 0.115
Hence, it is overpriced

Determine the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020.
Answer:
2019 $8,000
2020 $19,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020.
Calculation for 2019 Temporary differences
2019
Using this formula
2019 Temporary differences = 2019 Depreciation- 2019 depreciation expense
Let plug in the formula
2019 Temporary differences =$32,000 - $24,000
2019 Temporary differences= $8,000
Calculation for 2020 Temporary differences
Using this formula
2020 Temporary differences=(2019 Depreciation+2020 Depreciation)-( 2019 Depreciation expense+2020 Depreciation expense)
Let plug in the formula
2020 Temporary differences= ($32,000 + $37,000) - ($24,000 + $26,000)
2020 Temporary differences=$69,000-$50,000
2020 Temporary differences= $19,000
Therefore the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020 will be $8,000 and $19,000
Castille Corp. purchases, for $600,000, land upon which a building and a dilapidated shed are situated. Castille plans to use the building as-is for operations but immediately razes the shed at a cost of $5,000 minus scrap recovery of $1,000. A recent tax appraisal of the property allocated $100,000 to the land and $400,000 to the building. In the entry to record the acquisition of the property, at what amount will Castille debit Land
Answer:
$120,800
Explanation:
Give that;
Cost of land = $600,000
Associated expenses :
Razing down the shed = $5,000
Income from scrap = $1,000
Total expenses = $4,000
The total cost of the land would be;
Total cost of land = Cost of land + Total expense
= $600,000 + $4,000
= $604,000
Tax allocation: land and building = $500,000
Land allocation will now be
= 100,000/500,000 × $604,000
= 0.2 × $604,000
= $120,800
Harvey Dent wants to sell the $43,000 TriForcebonds he purchased 3 years ago at par value. The bonds have a 2.80% coupon, 9 years to maturity, and are trading at a 2.45% yield to maturity. If Harvey sells the bonds today, his proceeds from the sale would result in:
Answer: $1203
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the proceeds gotten from the sales if Harvey sells the bonds today will be:
Formula for bond price = Present value (Rate, Period, -Coupon amount, -Par value)
= PV(2.45%, 9, -43000 × 2.8%, -43000)
= 44203
Therefore, the proceeds will be the difference between the selling price and the purchase price which will be:
= $44203 - $43000
= $1203
The total value of the bond, or the amount you'll earn if you sell it, is the sum of the face value and the bond's added interest value. The coupon for each bond specifies the interest rate.
The answer, $1203 is the proceeds from the sale would result in.
If Harvey sells the bonds today, based on the evidence presented in the question, the revenues will be:
The formula for bond price = Present value (Rate, Period, -Coupon amount, -Par value)
[tex]= PV(2.45, 9, - 43000 \text{ x } 0.028, - 43000)\\= 44203[/tex]
As a result, the revenues will be equal to the difference between the selling and buying prices, which will be:
[tex]= 44203 - 43000= $1203[/tex]

Crane and Miller Manufacturing is trying to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs with 10900 units of ending work in process at 80% completion and 31600 physical units. There are no beginning units in the department. Conversion costs occur evenly throughout the entire production period. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period?
Answer:
the equivalent units for the conversion cost is 29,420 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for the conversion cost is shown below:
= units completed + ending inventory units
= (31,600 units - 10,900 units) + 80% of 10,900 units
= 20,700 units + 8,720 units
= 29,420 units
hence, the equivalent units for the conversion cost is 29,420 units
Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $16.00 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20.00, including fixed costs, and $11.00, excluding fixed costs. If 32,842 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it
Answer:
$164,210 decrease
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it
Differential cost increase or decrease=(32,842 * 16)- (32,842 * 11)=
Differential cost increase or decrease=$525,472-$361,262
Differential cost increase or decrease=$164,210 decrease
Therefore what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it is $164,210 decrease
Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels of corn using 100 worker hours. If it decides to produce 60 barrels of oil, how many bushels of corn can it produce
Answer: 10 bushels
Explanation:
If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:
= 100 / 100
= 1 work hour
For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:
= 25 / 100
