Answer:
improvements to the building
Explanation:
As we know that the opportunity cost is the cost that gives the benefit in the altnernative when the other thing is sacrifice. Now the
As the second best choice is that there should be an improvement in the building so here the opportunity cost related to the purchase of a vehicle is building improvement
Hence, the same is to be considered
Novak Corp. had accounts receivable of $140,000 on January 1, 2022. The only transactions that affected accounts receivable during 2022 were net credit sales of $3,795,000, cash collections of $3,725,000, and accounts written off of $20,000.
Required:
a. Compute the ending balance of accounts receivable.
b. Compute the accounts receivable turnover for 2016.
c. Compute the average collection period in days.
Answer:
a $210,000
b 21.69 times
c 16.83 average days
Explanation:
a. The ending balance of accounts receivable
= Accounts receivables at the beginning - Cash collections + Net Credit sales
Given that;
Accounts receivables at the beginning = $140,000
Cash collections = $3,725,000
Net Credit sales = $3,795,000
Ending balance of accounts receivable
= $140,000 + $3,795,000 - $3,725,000
= $210,000
b. Compute the accounts receivable turnover
= Net credit sales + [(Beginning account receivable + Ending account receivable) / 2]
= $3,795,000 ÷ [ ($140,000 + $210,000)/2]
= $3,795,000 ÷ $175,000
= 21.69 times
c. Compute the average collection period
= Average accounts receivable ÷ [Annual sales ÷ 365]
= $175,000 ÷ ($3,795,000 ÷ 365)
= $175,000 ÷ $10,397
= 16.83 average days to collect receivables
Barbara's employer offers health coverage to its employees. However, Barbara feels it is unaffordable and wants to apply for a health insurance premium tax credit. In order for the coverage to be deemed unaffordable in 2020, Barbara's self-only premium must exceed ___% of her household income.
Answer:
9.83%
Explanation:
If the health insurance premium represents 9.83% of Barbara's income or less, it is considered affordable coverage. Only if it exceeds the 9.83% threshold, will Barbara be able to request a health insurance premium tax credit. Theoretically, if Barbara's health insurance was purchased in the Health Insurance Marketplace, the tax credit should be automatic and her premium should be lowered so that it can become affordable.

The bonds mature in two years and pay interest quarterly every March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. All of the bonds were sold on January 1 of this year. Claire uses the effective-interest amortization method and also uses a discount account. Assume an annual market rate of interest of 12 percent.
Required:
a. Provide the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.
b. Provide the journal entry to record the interest payment on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of this year.
c. What bonds payable amount will Claire report on this year’s December 31 balance sheet?
Answer:
a) issue price
PV of face value = $240,000 / (1 + 3%)⁸ = $189,458
PV of coupon payments = $4,800 x 7.0197 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 8 periods) = $33,695
market price = $223,153
January 1, bonds issued at a discount
Dr Cash 223,153
Dr Discount on bonds payable 16,847
Cr Bonds payable 240,000
b) discount amortization = ($223,153 x 3%) - $4,800 = $1,895
discount amortization = ($225,048 x 3%) - $4,800 = $1,951
discount amortization = ($226,999 x 3%) - $4,800 = $2,010
discount amortization = ($229,009 x 3%) - $4,800 = $2,070

A store uses the newsvendor model to manage its inventory. Demand for its product is normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 300. Store A purchases the product for $10 each unit and sells each for $25. Inventory is salvaged for $5. What is the optimal quantity the store should order of its product
Answer:
702.20
Explanation:
Optimal order quantity Q = D+ z σ
Where D is the average demand = 500 units
And σ is the standard deviation of demand = 300
Cu = Cost of stock-out (underestimation) = Selling price – unit cost = $25 -$10 = $15
Co = Cost of excess inventory (overestimation) = Unit cost – Salvage Value = $10 – $5 = $5
Therefore Service level = Cu / (Cu + Co)
= $15/ ($15 + $5)
= 0.75 or 75%
For service level 75% the Z value = 0.674
Therefore, Q = 500+0.674*300 = 702.20
Kevin McCormick is buying a sports utility vehicle at a car dealership. The base price is $25,565; the factory installed options totaled $2,764; and the destination charge is $495. What is the sticker price?
Answer:
$28, 824
Explanation:
The sticker price is also known as the MSRP, or the manufacturer recommended retail price. It includes any dealer-installed accessories, any fees, and add-on products plus dealer markup.
The sticker price is this scenario will include
The base value $25,565, plus factory installed options $2,764, plus the destination charge $495.
= $25,565 + $2,764 + $495.
= $28, 824
Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-free securities yield a nominal annual rate of 3% in the United States and a nominal annual rate of 3.5% in the United Kingdom. In the spot market, 1 pound 5 $1.29. a. What is the 90-day forward rate
Answer:
$1.55
Explanation:
Interest rate parity = (1+Rh) / (1+Rf) = F1 / S0
Rh = rate on home currency here US is home 3% p.a = 3%/4 = 0.75%
Rf= rate on foreign currency here Germany 3.5% p.a = 3.5%/4 = 0.875
F1 = Forward rate , S0= Spot market rate
So, (1+0.0075) / (1+0.00875) = F1 / 1.56
1.0075/1.00875 = F1 / 1.56
0.998761 = F1 / 1.56
F1 = 0.998761 * 1.56
F1 = 1.55806716
F1 = $1.55
Thus, the 90-day forward rate is $1.55
In 2020, Cullumber Company reported net income of $585000. It declared and paid preferred stock dividends of $111000 and common stock dividends of $54000. During 2020, Cullumber had a weighted average of 300000 common shares outstanding. Compute Cullumber's 2020 earnings per share.
Answer: $1.58
Explanation:
Earnings per share is the amount of a company's earnings that is available to the common shareholders.
Formula is;
Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred dividends) / Weighted average common share outstanding
= (585,000 - 111,000) / 300,000
= $1.58
Your Aunt Ruth has $540,000 invested at 6.5%, and she plans to retire. She wants to withdraw $40,000 at the beginning of each year, starting immediately. How many years will it take to exhaust her funds, i.e., run the account down to zero
Answer:
It will take 28 years for Aunt Ruth to exhaust her funds.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of annuity due given as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - [1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) * (1 + r) .................................. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or amount invested = $540,000
P = Monthly withdraw = $40,000
r = interest rate = 6.5%, or 0.065
n = number of years = ?
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
540,000 = 40,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.065))^n) / 0.065) * (1 + 0.065)
540,000 / 40,000 = ((1 - (1 / 1.065)^n) / 0.065) * 1.065
13.50 = ((1 - 0.938967136150235^n) / 0.065) * 1.065
13.50 / 1.065 = (1 - 0.938967136150235^n) / 0.065
12.6760563380282 = (1 - 0.938967136150235^n) / 0.065
12.6760563380282 * 0.065 = 1 - 0.938967136150235^n
0.823943661971833 = 1 - 0.938967136150235^n
0.938967136150235^n = 1 - 0.823943661971833
0.938967136150235^n = 0.176056338028167
Log linearizing, we have:
n log0.938967136150235 = log0.176056338028167
n = log0.176056338028167 / log0.938967136150235
n = -0.754348335711024 / -0.0273496077747565
n = 27.5816875299865
Rounding to a whole number, we have:
n = 28
Therefore, it will take 28 years for Aunt Ruth to exhaust her funds.

What type of special title insurance policy covers the possibility of a mechanic's lien have priority over a mortgage or deed of trust
Answer:
Depending on the state this type of coverage is called slightly different names. E.g. in Colorado, this type of coverage in included under Comprehensive Coverage. In other states it is simply called Mechanic's Lien Coverage. Most title insurance companies that are registered in ALTA (American Land Title Association) offer some type of mechanic's lien coverage since it is one of the most common sources of litigation regarding real estate.
Mechanic's liens have priority over other types of liens and they are retroactive to the moment when the construction process began. E.g. the contractor started working on January 2, 2020, and decides to file a claim due to unpaid services on November. So the mechanic's lien is retroactive to January 2, 2020. If a mortgage was recorded on June, the mechanic's lien will have priority even though it was recorded at a later date.
For the following statement/questions match the assertion that best matches: When auditing the following accounts identify what auditors are primarily concerned with:
a. Revune
b. Assests
c. Liabilities
d. Expenses
1. Overstatments
2. Understatments
Answer:
When auditing the following accounts, auditors are primarily concerned with:
Accounts Assertions
a. Revenue Overstatements
b. Assets Overstatements
c. Liabilities Understatements
d. Expenses Understatements
Explanation:
Auditors are generally concerned about these assertions when auditing financial statements and their related disclosures: accurate recording, completeness, cut-off, existence, rights and obligations, and valuation. For revenue and assets, they want to ensure that these are not overstated. Their overstatement will increase the reported profits of the entity, which is a kind of cooking the books to please analysts. They are also interested in ensuring that liabilities and expenses are not understated for the same purpose.
In choosing between the range of alternative investments typically available to U.S. households, which of the following will play a role in influencing their selection of a particular investment type?

b. the interest rate and the expected rate of return
c. whether or not the majority of households are early stage investors
d. the form of dividends, angel investors, future expectations
Answer: B. the interest rate and the expected rate of return
Explanation:
What most firms and Industries look out for when going into a business is the interest rate and the expected return on investment. This is a guide for anyone carrying out a study on any business. If these are not considered it'll be assumed the firm is running a charity organization and would run at a loss sooner or later. What will influence the decision of any investment is the interest rate and the expected rate of return
Ken consumes two goods, Sprite and potato chips. Sprite costs $1 per can, and he consumes it to the point where the marginal utility he receives from his last Sprite is 3. Potato chips cost $2 per bag, and the relationship between the marginal utility he gets from eating a bag of potato chips and the number of bags he eats per month is as follows:
Bags of Potato chips 1 2 3 4 5 6
Marginal utility 30 20 12 6 2 0
Required:
If Ken is maximizing his utility, how much does he spend on potato chips each month?
a. $2
b. $6
c. $8
d. $10
e. $12
Answer:
The correct option is c. $8.
Explanation:
Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)
Where;
MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3
Price of Sprite = $1 per can
From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3
Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:
Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8
Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.

Koovuq131 is a division of a large corporation. Data concerning the most recent period appears below:
Sales $18,120,000
Net operating income $1,177,800
Average operating assets $4,450,000
What is Koovuq131's margin (closest to)?
Answer:
0.065
Explanation:
Koovuq131 has sales of $18,120,000
The net operating income is $1,177,800
The average operating assets is $4,450,000
Therefore the margin can be calculated as follows
= Net operating income/sales
= 1,177,800/18,120,000

Hence the margin is closest to 0.065
Carlos bought a building (AB) for $113,000 in 2014. He added an leasehold improvements addition to the building for $26,000. In 2018, he sold (SP) it for $212,000. What was his long-term capital gain (LTCG) (ignore depreciation
Answer:
Long-term capital gain = $73,000
Explanation:
The long-term capital gain (LTCG) can be calculated using the following formula:
Long-term capital gain = Selling price - Cost of acquisition - Cost of improvement .............. (1)
Where;
Selling price = $212,000
Cost of acquisition = $113,000
Cost of improvement = $26,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Long-term capital gain = $212,000 - $113,000 - $26,000 = $73,000
Note:
Since no information on cost inflation index is given in the question, that implies that there is no need to use indexed cost of acquisition and indexed cost of improvement in our calculation. Therefore, the Cost of acquisition and Cost of improvement has to be used as given in the question.
On July 1, 2011, Hale Kennels sells equipment for $66,000. The equipment was originally purchased on July 1, 2007 at a cost $180,000, had an estimated 5-year life and an expected salvage value of $30,000. The company books depreciation annually. What is the balance in Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 2010? What is the journal entry to update depreciation as of July 1, 2011? What is the journal entry to record the sale of the equipment?
Answer:
journal entry to update depreciation as of July 1, 2011
Depreciation Expense $16,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation $16,000 (credit)
journal entry to record the sale of the equipment
Cash $66,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation $128,000 (debit)
Equipment $180,000 (credit)
Profit and Loss $14,000 (credit)
Explanation:
If Hale Kennels uses the straight line method then the calculations will be as follows :
Annual Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
= ($180,000 - $30,000) ÷ 5
= $32,000
Therefore,
Depreciation Charges for the period in use will be as follows :
2007 = $16,000 ($32,000 × 1/2)
2008 = $32,000
2009 = $32,000
2010 = $32,000
2011 = $16,000 ($32,000 × 1/2)
Total Accumulated depreciation = $128,000
Explaining journal entry to record the sale of the equipment
1. Derecognize the Cost of the Asset
2. Derecognize the Accumulated depreciation
3. Recognize the Cash Proceeds
4. Recognize the Profit or Loss arising from the sale
Suppose a food pantry received a donation and allowed volunteers to vote on how the funds were to be spent. Three options were provided, with the donation only covering the cost of one project. The projects included improvements to the building, additional purchases of food, and purchasing a vehicle for food delivery. The majority of volunteers voted for purchasing a vehicle for food delivery with building improvements coming in second. Since only one project could be funded, what is the opportunity cost of the decision to purchase a vehicle
Answer:
improvements to the building,
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the foregone advantage of not setting certain options in decision making. When a particular option is preferred over others, then benefit from the other options not selected are forfeited. The forfeited benefits represent the opportunity cost.
The value of opportunity cost is equated to the value of the next best alternative. Where there were more than two alternatives available, the next best alternative from the chosen option becomes the opportunity cost. In this case, improvement to the building was voted the second preferred option; hence it becomes the opportunity cost.
Gross Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2013. Its inventory at that date was $550,000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Inventory at Current Date Current Prices Price Index December 31, 2014 $642,000 107 December 31, 2015 725,000 125 December 31, 2016 812,500 130 What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2014 under dollar-value LIFO
Answer: $603,500
Explanation:
Ending inventory in 2014;
= Ending inventory balance 2013 + (([tex]\frac{Inventory current price 2014}{Price index 2014}[/tex] * 100) - ending inventory 2013)) * Price index 2014/100
= 550,000 + (([tex]\frac{642,000}{107}* 100[/tex]) - 550,000)) * 107/100
= $603,500
Corporation has 400 obsolete TV monitors that they carry in their inventory at a total cost of $576,000. If these monitors are upgraded at a total cost of $150,000, they can be sold for a total of $210,000. As an alternative, the calculators can be sold in their present condition for $11,200. Assume that Tolar decides to upgrade the calculators. At what selling price per unit would the company be as well off as if it just sold the calculators in their present condition?
a. $8 per calculator
b. $30 per calculator
c. $53 per calculator
d. $67 dollar per calculator
Answer: $403 per calculator
Explanation:
Assume the selling price is x.
400 calculators.
Upgrading them would cost $150,000 but if sold in present condition would fetch $11,200.
Expression would be;
400x - 150,000 = 11,200
400x = 161,200
x = 161,200/400
x = $403 per calculator
Kunze Corporation has $1 par value Common Stock with 100,000 shares authorized and 25,000 shares issued. The journal entry to record Kunze's purchase of 10,000 shares of common stock at $4 per share would be:
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the purchase of common stock is as follows:
Treasury stock (10,000 shares × $4 per share) $40,000
To cash $40,000
(being the purchase of common stock is recorded)
Here treasury stock is debited as it reduced the stockholder equity and the cash is credited as it also decreased the assets
A trial balance before adjustment included the following: Debit Credit Accounts receivable $120,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts 730 Sales $510,000 Sales returns and allowances 8,000 Give journal entries assuming that the estimate of uncollectibles is determined by taking (1) 5% of gross accounts receivable and (2) 1% of net sales.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are as follows:
a. Allowance for doubtful debts Dr. $5,270 ($120,000 × 5% - $730)
To Accounts Receivables $5,270
