3. Liability to be reported: $3.2 million.
4. Debit Loss from product recall for $3,200,000; and Credit Contingent liability account for $3,200,000.
Explanation:
1. Should this contingent liability be reported, disclosed in a note only, or neither?
Contingent liability can be described as a liability that may occur depending on the outcome of a future event that may likely not occur.
A contingent liability is qualified to be reported only if it is possible to estimate its value, and that it can be proved that the probability of occurrence of such liability is higher than 50%.
A contingent liability has a higher than 50% probability of occurrence if it its value can be estimated.
Since the value of this contingent liability has been estimated to be $3.2 million, this implies that it has a higher than 50% probability of occurrence. Therefore, this contingent liability should be reported.
2. What loss, if any, should Top Sound report in its 2018 income statement? Enter your answer in dollars, not in millions.
The rule is that if a contingent liability can be estimated and has a higher than 50% probability of occurrence, the total estimated amount should be reported as a loss or expense in the income statement and as a liability in the balance sheet.
Therefore, the loss that Top Sound should report in its 2018 income statement is $3.2 million.
3. What liability, if any, should Top Sound report in its 2018 balance sheet? Enter your answer in dollars, not in millions.
The rule is that if a contingent liability can be estimated and has a higher than 50% probability of occurrence, the total estimated amount should be reported as a loss or expense in the income statement and as a liability in the balance sheet.
Therefore, the loss that Top Sound should report in its 2018 balance sheet is $3.2 million.
4. What entry, if any, should be recorded? If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.

Mass Company is investing in a giant crane. It is expected to cost $6 million in initial investment, and it is expected to generate an end-of-year cash flow of $3 million each year for three years. At the end of the fourth year, there will be a $1 million disposal cost. Calculate the MIRR for the project if the cost of capital is 12 percent.
Answer:
17.8%
Explanation:
the formular for MIRR
= [tex]\frac{FVcashinflow}{PVcashoutflow } ^{1/n} -1[/tex]
we solve for the future value =
3(1+0.12)³ + 3(1+0.12)² + 3(1+0.12) =
4.2147 + 3.7632 + 3.36
= 11.3379
we also calculate present value
= [tex]6-[\frac{1}{1+0.12}] ^{4}[/tex]
= 6-0.6355
= 5.3645 million
MIRR = [tex][\frac{11.3379}{5.3645}] ^{1/4}[/tex]-1
= 0.178
= 17.8%

Using the same acquisition date balance sheets as above. Assume instead that Pinehollow acquired 80% of the outstanding stock of Stonebriar by issuing 80,000 shares of its $1 par value stock. The shares have a fair value of $15 per share. Pinehollow also paid $25,000 in direct acquisition costs. What is the amount of goodwill that will be included in the consolidated balance sheet immediately following the acquisition
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
There is missing information on this question. I tried to look for it online but I could not find it. However I have provided explanation to solve the problem detailed below :
Goodwill is the excess of the Purchase Consideration / Price over the Net Assets taken over at the acquisition date.
So the first step is to determine the acquisition date fair value of Assets and Liabilities acquired. Do not use Book Values. If given book values, adjust them to fair value.
Net Assets = Assets at Fair Value - Liabilities at Fair Value
The next step is to calculate the Goodwill Amount to be included in Consolidated Statement. Purchased Goodwill is included in Financial Statements.
Goodwill = Purchase Price - Net Assets Acquired
Purchase Price :
Issue of Shares (80,000 x $15) $1,200,000
Acquisition Costs $25,000
Purchase Price $1,225,000
Davidsons has 15,000 shares of stock outstanding with a par value of $1 per share and a market value of $45 per share. The balance sheet shows $15,000 in the common stock account, $158,000 in the capital in excess of par account, and $132,500 in the retained earnings account. The firm just announced a stock dividend of 50 percent. What is the value of the retained earnings account after the dividend
Answer: -$205,000
Explanation:
Retained earnings balance = Retained earnings amount - Dividends declared
Dividends declared = Percent dividend * Number of shares * Market value
= 50% * 15,000 * 45
= $337,500
Retained earnings balance after dividend:
= 132,500 - 337,500
= -$205,000

What is savings?Deferred consumption, or not spending money, is saving. Savings strategies involve setting money away in places including cash, investment funds, pension accounts, and deposit accounts. Reducing expenses, such as regular expenses, is another aspect of saving. Savings refers to any income not spent for immediate consumption.
In terms of personal finance, saving often refers to low-risk preservation of money, such as in a savings account, as opposed to investing, where the risk is much higher. Interest is not always taken into account while saving. Savings are distinct from savings. In contrast to the latter, which refers to either several chances to cut expenditures or one's assets in the form of cash, the former relates to the act of not using one's assets.

Presented below is information related to equipment owned by Novak Company at December 31, 2020.
Cost $11,250,000
Accumulated depreciation to date 1,250,000
Expected future net cash flows 8,750,000
Fair value 6,000,000
Assume that Novak will continue to use this asset in the future. As of December 31, 2020, the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry (if any) to record the impairment of the asset at December 31, 2020.
Answer:
Debit : Impairment loss $1,250,000
Credit : Accumulated impairment loss $1,250,000
Explanation:
Impairment of an asset happens when, the Carrying Amount of an Asset is greater than the Net Realizable Value of an asset.
Carrying Amount is Cost of asset less Accumulated depreciation. Carrying Amount for the equipment is $10,000,000 ($11,250,000 - $1,250,000).
The Net Realizable Value of an asset is the higher of Fair Value of Asset and Future Value. For the equipment the Net Realizable Value is $8,750,000
Then, since Carrying Amount ($10,000,000) > Net Realizable Value ($8,750,000), the equipment is impaired.
Impairment loss will be $1,250,000 ($10,000,000 - $8,750,000).
The journal entry to record the impairment loss would be :
Debit : Impairment loss $1,250,000
Credit : Accumulated impairment loss $1,250,000

Natural gas is often priced in units of dollars per therm. One therm equals 100,000 BTUs . A certain family uses 600 therms of energy to heat its home annually using a natural gas furnace that is 80 percent efficient. The family is considering replacing its current furnace with one that is 96 percent efficient. Assuming the cost of a therm is $0.30.
Required:
What would be the family's annual savings in the cost of home heating?
Answer:
-$28.8.
Explanation:
Note, we were told,
to assume the cost of a therm is $0.30the family uses 600 therms of energy annually.Savings on old furnace:
600 * $0.30 * 0.80 (or written as 80%) = $144Savings on new furnace:
600 * $0.30 * 0.96 (or written as 96%) = $172.8Difference: $144 - $172.8 = -$28.8.
The family's annual savings in the cost of home heating will be (-$28.8).
Here, we are assuming the cost of a therm is $0.30 and that the family uses 600 therms of energy annually.
The savings on the old furnace equals:
= 600 * $0.30 * 0.80
= $144
Hence, the savings on old furnace: is $144.
The savings on new furnace equals:
= 600 * $0.30 * 0.96
= $172.8
Hence, the savings on old furnace is $172.8.
In conclusion, the family's annual savings in the cost of home heating will be (-$28.8).

Explanation:
a) Calculation to determine the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock
First step is to calculate the Required Return
Using this formula
Required Return = Risk-free Rate + [Beta * (Expected Market Return - Risk-free Rate)]
Let plug in the formula
Required Return= 5.5% + [2.7 * (17% - 5.5%)]
Required Return= 5.5% + 31.05% = 36.55%
Second step is to calculate g using this formula
g = ROE * (1 - Payout Ratio)
Let plug in the formula
g= 18% * (1 - 0.25)
g= 13.5%
D0 = EPS0 * Payout Ratio = $10 * 0.25 = $2.50
P0 = [D0 * (1 + g)] / [r - g]
= [$2.50 * (1 + 0.135)] / [0.3655 - 0.135]
= $2.8375 / 0.2305 = $12.31
b). Holding Period Return = [P1 + D1 - P0] / P0
= [$8 + $2.8375 - $12.31] / $12.31 = -$1.4727 / $12.31 = -0.1196, or -11.96%
If government expenditure rises by $27.5 billion and the multiplier in the economy is 2.5, then: ___________
a. real GDP falls by $55 billion, and the IS curve shifts to the left.
b. real GDP rises by $27.5 billion, and the IS curve shifts to the right.
c. real GDP rises by $68.75 billion, and the IS curve shifts to the right.
d. real GDP falls by $11 billion, but the IS curve does not shift.
Answer:
c. real GDP rises by $68.75 billion, and the IS curve shifts to the right.
Explanation:
An increase in the government expenditure will result in the rise of real GDP. This will result in the IS curve to shift to the right. However, in the case of multiplier effect, this occurrence causes a bigger increase in the national income due to the initial injection into the economy.
Therefore, the rise in government expenditure by $27.5 billion will cause real GDP to rise. Ultimately options A and D are eliminated as they mention fall in GDP.
Moreover, since the multiplier in the economy is 2.5, this will increase the government expenditure to $68.75 billion (27.5 billion x 2.5). Hence, option C is correct.
The Puyer Corporation makes and sells only one product called a Deb. The company is in the process of preparing its Selling and Administrative Expense Budget for next year. The following budget data are available:MonthlyFixed Cost Variable CostPer Deb SoldSales commissions $ 0.97Shipping $ 1.47Advertising $ 50,700 $ 0.27Executive salaries $ 60,700Depreciation on office equipment $ 20,700Other $ 40,700All of these expenses (except depreciation) are paid in cash in the month they are incurred.If the company has budgeted to sell 15,700 Debs in February, then the total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is:
Answer:
the total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is $172,800
Explanation:
The computation of the total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is shown below:
= Advertising + Executive salaries + Depreciation on office equipment + Other
= $50,700 + $60,700 + $20,700 + $40,700
= $172,800
hence, the total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is $172,800
Which of the following is true about duration and modified duration?
I. The Macaulay duration calculates the weighted average time before a bondholder would receive the bond's cash flows.
II. Modified duration measures price sensitivity of a bond to changes in YTM by adjusting duration with a factor based on current yield.
III. The value of duration and modified duration are usually very close, but duration is almost always a larger number.
a. Only I and II are true.
b. All but IV are true.
c. Only II and III are true.
d. All are true.
Answer:
The truth about Macaulay Duration and Modified Duration is:
d. All are true.
Explanation:
Principally, the Macaulay Duration, used mainly with immunization strategies, measures the weighted average time an investor holds a bond until the period when the present value of the bond’s cash flows equals to the initial bond amount.
On the other hand, the Modified Duration, providing a risk measure by being sensitive to interest rates, identifies the amount by which the duration changes for each percentage change in the yield and, at the same time, measures how the amount of a change in the interest rates impacts a bond's price.
