Bryant Company sells a wide range of inventories, which are initially purchased on account. Occasionally, a short-term note payable is used to obtain cash for current use. The following transactions were selected from those occurring during the year.
a. On January 10, purchased merchandise on credit for $30,000. The company uses a perpetual inventory system.
b. On March 1, borrowed $64,000 cash from City Bank and signed a promissory note with a face amount of $64,000, due at the end of six months, accruing interest at an annual rate of 8.50 percent, payable at maturity.
Required:
For each of the transactions, indicate the accounts, amounts, and effects on the accounting equation.
Answer:
Finance charge = $2,720
Transaction a: This increases assets by $30,000 and also the liabilities by $30,000.
Transaction b: This increases assets by $64,000, increases liabilities by $66,720, but reduces Stockholder's Equity by $2,720.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the accounting equation.
In the attached excel file, the finance charge of $2,720 is calculated as follows:
Finance charge = Amount borrowed * Interest rate * (Number of months the promissory will due / Number of months in a year) = $64,000 * 8.50% * (6 / 12) = $2,720
The effect of each transaction on the accounting equation are discussed below:
Transaction a: This increases assets by $30,000 and also the liabilities by $30,000.
Transaction b: This increases assets by $64,000, increases liabilities by $66,720, but reduces Stockholder's Equity by $2,720.

Company A is a manufacturer with sales of $3,400,000 and a 60% contribution margin. Its fixed costs equal $1,600,000. Company B is a consulting firm with service revenues of $3,500,000 and a 25% contribution margin. Its fixed costs equal $410,000. Compute the degree of operating leverage (DOL) for each company. Which company benefits more from a 20% increase in sales.
Answer:
DOL of Company A= 4.63
DOL of Company B=1.88
Company A benefits more from a 20% increase in sales
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage measures the volatility in the operating profit of a business as result of the proportion of fixed cost to its total costs.
The operating Leverage = Contribution margin/Operating income
Contribution = Contribution % × sales value
Operating income = Contribution - Fixed cost
Company A
Contribution margin= 60%× 3,400,000 = 2,040,000
Operating income = 60%× 3,400,000 - 1,600,000= 440,000
DOL =2,040,000 /440,000 = 4.634
DOL of Company A= 4.63
Company B
Contribution margin= 25%× 3,500,000=875000
Operating income = 875,000 - 410,000 =465000
DOL = 875,000 /465,000 × 100 =1.88
DOL=1.88
If both companies experience an increase of 20%, the corresponding increase in profit would be:
Company A= 4.63× 20= 92.6%
Company B = 1.88 × 20 = 37.6%
Company A benefits more
DOL of Company A= 4.63
DOL of Company B=1.88
Company A benefits more from a 20% increase in sales

The S&P 500 has been increasing steadily over the last several months. What does this signal about how investors view future profits? Investors believe future profits are unpredictable. Investors believe profits have been higher over the past few months than they are expected to be in the future. Investors believe future profits will be lower than previously expected. Investors believe future profits will be higher than previously expected.
Answer: Investors believe future profits will be higher than previously expected.
Explanation:
If the S&P 500 has been rising, this means that investors are buying more shares in the companies in the index.
This means that these investors believe that the profits to come to these companies is going to be higher than expected. If the profits are expected to be the same as previously thought then there would be little increase in stock prices because the relevant increases would have already occurred.

Selected financial data regarding current assets and current liabilities for Queen's Line, a competitor in the cruise line industry, is provided: ($ in millions) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 410 Current investments 65 Net receivables 204 Inventory 136 Other current assets 145 Total current assets $ 960 Current liabilities: Accounts payable $ 1,032 Short-term debt 744 Other current liabilities 869 Total current liabilities $ 2,645 Required: 1. Calculate the current ratio and the acid-test ratio for Queen's Line. (Enter your answers in millions, not in dollars. For example, $5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5.)
Answer and Explanation:
The calculation of the current ratio and the acid ratio is shown below;
The current ratio is
= Current assets ÷ current liabilities
= $960 ÷ $2,645
= 0.3629 times
The quick ratio is
= Quick assets ÷ current liabilities
Here quick assets is
= Current assets - inventory - other current assets
= $960 - $136 - $145
= $679
So, the quick rato or acid test ratio is
= $679 ÷ $2,645
= 0.2567 times
Cream and Crimson Foods has a target capital structure of calling for 41.00 percent debt, 5.00 percent preferred stock, and 54.00 percent common equity (retained earnings plus common stock). Its before-tax cost of debt is 12.00 percent. The tax rate is 40.00%. Its cost of preferred stock is 12.98%. Its cost of common equity is 13.18%. Find the WACC for Cream and Crimson Foods
Answer:
10.72%
Explanation:
WACC = (weight of equity x cost of equity) + [weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)] +( weight of preferred stock x cost of preferred stock)
debt = 0.41 x 12% x (1 - 0.4) = 2.95%
preferred stock = 0.05 x 12.98% = 0.65%
common equity = 0.54 x 13.18% = 7.12%
WACC = 2.95% + 0.65% + 7.12% = 10.72%

Gary's plane fare for the trip was $650; meals cost $180 per day; lodging cost $350 per day; and a rental car cost $100 per day that was used for all eight days. Gary may deduct (disregard CARES Act, SECURE Act, and Stimulus Act):
Answer:
Gary, CPA
Gary may deduct (disregard CARES Act, SECURE Act, and Stimulus Act):
$2,134.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total Expenses:
Business use of trip = $244 ($650 * 3/8)
Trip plane fare = $650
Meals = 1,440 ($180 * 8)
Lodging = 2,800 ($350 * 8)
Rental car = 800 ($100 * 8)
Total expenses $5,690
3 days of expenses = $2,134 ($5,690 * 3/8)
b) Since Gary conducted some business for 3 days during his vacation, he is allowed to allocate his travel expenses between personal and business. Only the business portion of the expenses will be allowed by the IRS as business expenses.

A person who files bankruptcy ends up paying a 6% higher fixed interest rate on a 30-year home loan than a person
who has not filed bankruptcy. The person who files bankruptcy pays a 12% interest rate on their home loan. If the loan
amount is $150,000, how much more in total interest do they pay than the person who has not filed bankruptcy?
A. $258,375.30
B. $643.59
C. $149,536.52
D. $231,693.52
Answer:
D 231,692.52
Explanation:
got it right on edge21
Based on the interest rates given to the person who has filed for bankruptcy and the person who hasn't, the additional amount in total interest that the person with bankruptcy will pay is D. $231,693.52.
What would the person who declared bankruptcy pay?The amount that they pay can be found as:
Loan amount = Amount x ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -number of periods) / rate
Rate is: Number of periods:
= 12% / 12 = 30 x 12
= 1% per month = 360 months
The amount paid monthly is:
150,000 = Amount x ( 1 - (1 + 1%) ⁻³⁶⁰) / 1%
150,000 = Amount x 97.218331079
Amount = 150,000 / 97.218331079
= $1,542.92
What would the person who has never declared bankruptcy pay?They pay a 6% less than the person who has declared bankruptcy so they will pay:
= 12% - 6%
= 6%
Rate is therefore:
= 6% / 12
= 0.5%
Amount paid monthly is:
150,000 = Amount x ( 1 - (1 + 0.5%) ⁻³⁶⁰) / 0.5%
150,000 = Amount x 166.7916143923
Amount = 150,000 / 166.7916143923
= $899.33
What is the difference in interest?= (Amount paid by person with previous bankruptcy - Person with no history of bankruptcy) x 360 months
= (1,542.92 - 899.33) x 360
= $231,693.52

Brian's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in New York City that sells gluten-free pizzas. Brian's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Brian signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Brian's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Brian cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Brian's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Brian lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are_______ inputs and the ovens are_______ inputs.
Answer:
Variable and Fixed
Explanation:
Variable inputs are those which can be changed/altered in the short-run. The demand for these inputs can be changed with a change in production.
However, fixed inputs are those inputs which cannot be changed/altered in the short-run. The demand for these inputs remains unchanged in the short-run. It can only be changed in the long-run.
Since Brain has signed a lease obligation for the next three years, it cannot change the number of ovens in the short-run. This number of oven's is a fixed input at least for three years.
While, Brain can easily change the number of workers he wants to hire. Therefore, number of workers is a variable input in the short-run.
Thus, we can conclude that in the short run, these workers are variable inputs and the ovens are fixed inputs.

Compute days' sales uncollected.
Answer:
2017 Days' Sales Uncollected 49.37 days
2016 Days' Sales Uncollected 49.10 days
Explanation:
Computation for days' sales uncollected
Using this formula
Days' Sales Uncollected=Average receivables / Credit sales x 365 days
Let plug in the formula
2017 Days' Sales Uncollected= $76,450 / $565,219 x 365
2017 Days' Sales Uncollected= 49.37 days
[($89,900+$63,000)/2=$76,450]
2016 Days' Sales Uncollected= $60,000 / $446,029 x 365 days
2016 Days' Sales Uncollected= 49.10 days
[($63,000+$57,000)/2=$60,000]
Therefore 2017 Days' Sales Uncollected will be 49.37 days and 2016 Days' Sales Uncollected will be 49.10 days
Simon Company's year-end balance sheets follow. At December 2017 2016 2015 Assets. To compute the days' sales uncollected, we need to calculate the average accounts receivable and divide it by the average daily sales.
Average Accounts Receivable:
2017:
(Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Accounts Receivable) / 2
= ($63,000 + $89,900) / 2
= $76,450
2016:
(Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Accounts Receivable) / 2
= ($57,000 + $63,000) / 2
= $60,000
Average Daily Sales:
2017: Net Sales / 365
= $565,219 / 365
= $1,547.15
2016: Net Sales / 365
= $446,029 / 365
= $1,221.53
Days Sales Uncollected:
2017: Average Accounts Receivable / Average Daily Sales
= $76,450 / $1,547.15
= 49.48 days
2016: Average Accounts Receivable / Average Daily Sales
= $60,000 / $1,221.53
= 49.12 days
Therefore, the days sales uncollected for Simon Company are approximately 49.48 days in 2017 and 49.12 days in 2016.

Ahmed Company purchases all merchandise on credit. It recently budgeted the following month-end accounts payable balances and merchandise inventory balances. Cash payments on accounts payable during each month are expected to be: May, $1,600,000; June, $1,490,000; July, $1,425,000; and August, $1,495,000.
Accounts Payable Merchandise Inventory
May 31 $150,000 $250,000
June 30 200,000 400,000
July 31 235,000 300,000
August 31 195,000 330,000
Use the available information to compute the budgeted amounts of (1) Merchandise purchases for June, July, and August (2) Cost of goods sold for June, July, and August.
Answer:
Explanation:
The merchandise purchase can be determined by using the formula:
Purchase = Cash payments + Ending Accounts Payable - Beginning Accounts Payable
For June:
Purchase = $(1490000 + 200000 - 150000)
Purchase = $(1690000 - 150000)
Purchase = $1540000
For July:
Purchases: $(1425000+235000 - 200000)
Purchases = $(1660000 - 200000)
Purchases = $1460000
For August:
Purchases: $(1495000 + 195000 - 235000)
Purchases: $(1690000 - 2235000)
Purchases: $1455000
The cost of goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchase - Ending inventory
For June:
Cost of goods sold= $(250000 + 1540000 - 400000)
Cost of goods sold= $(1790000 - 400000)
Cost of goods sold = $1390000
For July:
Cost of goods sold = $(400000 + 1460000 - 300000)
Cost of goods sold = $(1860000 - 300000)
Cost of goods sold = $1560000
For August:
Cost of good sold = $(300000+ 1455000 - 330000)
Cost of good sold = $(1755000 - 330000)
Cost ofgood sold = $1425000

Explanation:
Toyota manufactures in Japan most of the vehicles it sells in the United Kingdom. The base platform for the Toyota Tundra truck line is ¥1,650,000. The spot rate of the Japanese yen against the British pound has recently moved from ¥197/£ to ¥190/£. How does this change the price of the Tundra to Toyota's British subsidiary in British pounds?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the change in price is shown below:
Original import price
= 1,650,000 ÷ 197
= 8375.63
The new import price is
= 1,650,000 ÷ 190
= 8,684.21
Now the percentage change in price is
= (8,684.21 - 8375.63) ÷ 8375.63
= 3.68%
This would be equal to the percentage change in the Japanese yen as the price of the truck remains unchanged
The management of Arkansas Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $490,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%. The present value factors for $1 at compound interest of 10% for 1 through 5 years are 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, 0.683, and 0.621, respectively. In addition to the foregoing information, use the following data in determining the acceptability in this situation:
Year Income from Operations Net Cash Flow
1 $100,000 $180,000
2 40,000 120,000
3 40,000 100,000
4 10,000 90,000
5 10,000 120,000
The net present value for this investment is:_______
a. $(126,800)
b. $(16,170)
c. $55,200
d. $36,400
Answer:
b. $(16,170)
Explanation:
The net present value of the investment is present value of net cash flows discounted at the company's desired rate of return of 10% minus the initial investment outlay of $490,000 as shown thus:
NPV=($180,000*0.909)+($120,000*0.826)+($100,000*0.751)+($90,000*0.683)+($120,000*0.621)-$490,000
NPV= $473,830-$490,000
NPV= $(16,170)
It is obvious that the correct option in this case is B

Answer: credit to Additional Paid -in Capital on Preferred Stock for $28,200
Explanation:
The journal entry will be:
Debit: Cash = $500 × 83 = $41500
Credit: Preferred stock = $5000
Credit: Additional paid in capital on preferred stock = $28200
Credit: Paid in capital - Common stock warrants = $8300
Note that Additional paid in capital on preferred stock was calculated as:
Amount allocated to preferred stock = (64/64+16) × 41500 = 33200
Less: Preferred stock face value = $500 × $10 = $5000
Additional paid in capital on preferred stock = $28200
If the par value of 15-year bond is $5,000 with coupon rate $5% but the market rate/discount rate is 5.5%, the value of the bond is more or less than $5,000? Why?
Answer: Less than $5,000
Explanation:
The Bond described above is a discount bond. Discount bonds are bonds that sell below their par value because the market rate for the bond is higher than the coupon rate.
This happens when investors believe a bond to be riskier than the company says and so attach a higher return to it than its coupon rate. As a result, the price of the bond will be less than the par value because the higher market rate will discount the bond cashflows more than the coupon rate would.

Seven years ago, Paul purchased residential rental real estate that he has been depreciating as MACRS property over 27.5 years. This year, when his adjusted basis in the property was $250,000, Paul transferred the property to the newly formed PLA partnership in exchange for a one-third interest in the partnership. PLA incurred $10,000 of transfer taxes and fees related to the property. How will PLA treat the property?
a. PLA will take the rental real estate at a basis of $250,000 and the $10,000 taxes and fees at $10,000 and depreciate each over 27.5 years
b. PLA will take the rental real estate at a basis of $260,000 and depreciate it over 27.5 years.
c. PLA will take the rental real estate at a basis of $250,000 and the $10,000 of taxes and fees will be treated as a new depreciable property
d. PLA will take the rental real estate at a basis of $260,000 and depreciate it over the remaining 20 years.
Answer:
c. PLA will take the rental real estate at a basis of $250,000 and the $10,000 of taxes and fees will be treated as a new depreciable property
Explanation:
According to the rule, the adjusted basis of Paul is of $250,000 and it should be depreciated for the predicted remaining life i.e. 20 years
While on the other hand, the $10,000of transfer taxes and fees would be treated as a new purchase of an asset and would be depreciated for 27.5 years
Therefore as per the given situation, the option c is correct
