Answer:
Total cost= 1,395 + 1.56x
x= number of units of activity
Explanation:
To calculate the unitary and fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (5,148 - 1,588) / (2,406 - 124)
Variable cost per unit= $1.56
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 5,148 - (1.56*2,406)
Fixed costs= $1,395
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 1,588 - (1.56*124)
Fixed costs= $1,395
The total cost is given by:
Total cost= 1,395 + 1.56x
x= number of units of activity

On January 1, Year 1, Chertco acquired a patent for $500,000 and, using the straight-line method, began amortizing it properly over its estimated useful life of 10 years. The asset has no residual value. At December 31, Year 4, a significant change in the business climate caused Chertco to assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of the patent. Chertco estimated that the undiscounted future net cash inflows from the patent would be $325,000 and that its fair value was $275,000. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, Year 4, Chertco should recognize an impairment loss of :________.
a. $175,000
b. $50,000
c. $25,000
d. $0
Answer:
c. $25,000
Explanation:
We recognize impairment loss when the Carrying Amount of an Asset is greater than its Recoverable Amount.
Recoverable Amount of an Asset is the Higher of Asset Fair Value and Value in use. The future cash shows represent value in use and these need to be discounted. Since they are not, Recoverable Amount = $275,000
Carrying Amount of an Asset is the Cost of the Asset less all depreciation charges to date of the impairment test, Carrying Amount = $300,000
Therefore, Impairment loss = $25,000 ($300,000 - $275,000)
Assume Bank XYZ has 3 assets and 4 liabilities, with the following information: Assets Liabilities yield dollar value cost dollar value 5% 1,000 0% 3,000 10% 4,000 2% 1,000 20% 2,000 4% 1,000 6% 1,000 We also know the noninterest income is 1,000, the noninterest expense 1,200, the provision for loan losses 50, the realized securities gains and losses 40, and the tax 20. What is the net income of Bank XYZ
Answer:
The answer is "$500".
Explanation:
Calculating the total Interest Income:
[tex]= \$( 5\% \times 1000+10\% \times 4000+20\% \times 2000)\\\\= \$( \frac{5}{100} \times 1000+ \frac{10}{100} \times 4000+ \frac{20}{100} \times 2000)\\\\=\$ (50+400+400) \\\\ =\$ 850[/tex]
Profits of non-interest=$1000
Earnings and losses for shares = $40
For point 1:
The formula for Total Revenue: [tex]= \text{Total Interest Income}+ \text{Non Interest Income} + \text{Realized Securities gains and losses} \\[/tex]
[tex]= \$(850+1000+40) \\\\ = \$ 1890[/tex]
For point 2:
The formula for total Expenditure: [tex]\text{(Interest Expense+Non interest expense+Provision for losses+Taxes)}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Interest expense}= \$( 2 \% \times 1000+4\% \times 1000+6\% \times 1000)[/tex]
[tex]= \$( \frac{2}{100} \times 1000+ \frac{4}{100} \times 1000+ \frac{6}{100} \times 1000) \\\\= \$ (20+40+60)\\\\ =\$ 120[/tex]
Expenditure for non-interest=$1200
Loan and damage provisions = $50
Tax = $20
Complete Expenditures[tex]= \$(120+1200+50+20) = \$ 1390[/tex]
Therefore,[tex]\text{net sales = (Total Revenue-Total Expenditure)}[/tex]
[tex]=\$(1890-1390) \\\\ = \$ 500[/tex]
The legal theory of contributory negligence:
a. is in effect in the majority of states throughout the nation.
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
c. allows the negligent plaintiff to recover if he was responsible for less than 50 percent of his injury.
d. has been criticized as rewarding a plaintiff for being careless.
Answer:
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
Explanation:
Contributive negligence is a tort in law that allows the defender in a case to completely prevent a plaintiff from getting any recovery in a case.
This occurs if the defender can prove the plaintiff is negligent resulting in their own injury. That is self injury.
On the other hand comparative negligence allows the plaintiff recover a certain percentage in case of negligence that affects himself. For example if plaintiff was 10% negligent then they lose 10% of the amount they were to recover.
So contributory negligence means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
Quantitative Problem: Jenna is a single taxpayer. During 2018, she earned wages of $113,000. She doesn't itemize deductions, so she will take the standard deduction to calculate 2018 taxable income. In addition, during the year she sold common stock that she had owned for five years for a net profit of $5,200. How much does Jenna owe to the IRS for taxes
Solution :
Item Amount
Income $113,000
Personal exemption for one $ 4,050
Standard deduction $ 6,350
Taxable income $102,600
Therefore the taxable income is $102,600.
Now the tax payable on the taxable income is given by :
Marginal tax rate Amount brackets
10% $0 - $ 9,325
15% $ 9,326 - $ 37,950
25% $ 37,951 -$ 91,900
28% $ 91,901 - $ 191,650
Now according to the above taxable slab, the amount of tax on the wages earned by Jenna is :
Tax payable = [tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times (37950 - 9325))+(0.25 \times (91900 - 37950))+(0.28 \times (102600-91900))$[/tex][tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times 28625)+(0.25 \times 53950)+(0.28 \times 10700)$[/tex]
= 932.5 + 4293.75 + 13487.50 + 2996
= $ 21,709.75
There is also a long term capital gain of $ 5,200 that is earned by selling the common stock.
Now as per IRS, the capital gain of a long term tax percentage for an individual single filer is in 28% tax slab category is 15%.
Therefore the tax on the capital gain of $ 5,200 is = 0.15 x 5200
= $780
Thus the total tax payable by Jenna is = $ 21,709.75 + $ 780
= $ 22,489.75

On October 21, 2004, Abitibi-Consolidated Inc., a large Canadian-based newsprint and groundwood producer, reported net income for its third quarter, 2004, of $182 million. This compares with a net loss for the same quarter of 2003 of $70 million. Sales for the quarter were up, to $1528 million, and earnings excluding low persistence items, was a loss of $27 million. the low - persistence items included a gain of $239 million before tax from foreign exchange conversion. Much of the company's long term debt is denominated in US dollars. The foreign exchange gain arose because of the rising value of the Canadian dollar, relative to the US dollar, during the quarter. Comparable figures for the third quarter of 2003 were as follows: sales of $ 1,340 mil-lion, a loss before low- persistence items of $ 32 million, and foreign exchange conversion gain of $ 13 million. There is no mention of R& D costs in the company’s third quarter report. Its 2003 annual report mentions R& D only in passing, with reference to forest conservation. Presumably, R& D expenditures are relatively low. Abitibi- Consolidated’s share price rose $ 0.59 to $ 7.29 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 21, 2004. The S& P/ TSX Composite index gained 59 points to close at 8,847 on the same day. According to media reports, the increases were driven by a "red- hot" materials and energy sect

The unexpected earnings is the term used to address the difference between the actual earning of the company for a period as well as the expected earnings for the period. The financial analyst make a mathematical as well as a financial models of the company earnings from the other accounting periods. The unexpected aspect of the earnings also means the price of the stock that can price up of fall dramatically over the course of the day.
Here,
For Q3 2004 2003
Net reported income 82M (70M)
Expected earnings (27M)
Unexpected earnings 55M
Thus we consider the earnings excluding the low persistence items. The low persistence items do not included the sinte there is no continuity or durability of the earnings currently, as they can vary on the large scale.
Also we are given company beta was 0.779 which indicates less volatility. Even though the stock price went up from 0.59 to 0.79, the difference can be considered as the unexpected earnings.

Last year Kruse Corp had $440,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE
Answer:
The reduction in assets would improve the ROE by 7.81%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Previous equity = (100% - Debt-to-total-capital ratio) * Previous total invested capital = (100% - 39%) * $440,000 = 61% * $440,000 = $268,400
Previous return on equity (ROE) = (Net income / Previous equity) * 100 = ($28,250 / $268,400) * 100 = 10.53%
New equity = (100% - Debt-to-total-capital ratio) * New total invested capital = (100% - 39%) * $252,500 = 61% * $252,500 = $154,025
New ROE = (Net income / New equity) * 100 = ($28,250 / $154,025) * 100 = 18.34%
Change in ROE = New ROE - Previous ROE = 18.34% - 10.53% = 7.81%
Since change in ROE is 7.81% and positive, this implies that the reduction in assets would improve the ROE by 7.81%.
A corporation wishes to determine the fixed portion of its maintenance expense (a semivariable expense), as measured against direct labor hours, for the first 3 months of the year. The inspection costs are fixed; the adjustments necessitated by errors found during inspection account for the variable portion of the maintenance costs. Information for the first quarter is as follows:
Direct Labor Hours Maintenance Expense
January 34,000 $610
February 31,000 $585
March 34,000 $610
Required:
What is the fixed portion of Jacob's maintenance expense, rounded to the nearest dollar?
a. $283
b. $327
c. $258
d. $541
Answer:
b. $327
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed portion is shown below:
But before that variable maintenance expense per direct labor is
= ($610 - $585) ÷ (34000 hours - 31000 hours)
= $0.00833 per direct labor hour
Now
Total variable expense for 34,000 hours is
= $0.00833 × 34000
= $283
And, finally Fixed portion is
= $610 - $283
= $327

ReNew Corporation raises funds to build renewable energy systems by issuing 3-year bonds with a coupon rate of 6% and a face value of $1,600. Assume that the market interest rate for a 3-year bond issued by a firm like ReNew is currently the same as the coupon rate. The price of each of these bonds is____ , which means that the bonds sell at ___. Suppose that the market interest rate for bonds that are similar to the ReNew bond has increased to 7%. The price of the ReNew bond changes to____ , which means that it sells at ____. Suppose that instead of rising, the market rate decreases from 6% to 4%. The new price of the bond changes to ___, which means that the bond sells at ___.
Answer:
The price of each of these bonds is $1,600, which means that the bonds sell at par.
Suppose that the market interest rate for bonds that are similar to the ReNew bond has increased to 7%. The price of the ReNew bond changes to $1,558.00 , which means that it sells at discount.
Suppose that instead of rising, the market rate decreases from 6% to 4%. The new price of the bond changes to $1,688.80, which means that the bond sells at a premium.
When the coupon rate and the market interest rate are the same, the price will be at par.
Interest rate increases:
Bond Price = Present value of coupon + Present value of bond price
Coupon = 6% * 1,600
= $96
Bond price = 96 * (1 - 1.07⁻³ / 0.07) + 1,600 / 1.07³
Bond price = $1,558.00
Interest rate decreases:
= 96 * (1 - 1.04⁻³ / 0.04) + 1,600 / 1.04³
= $1,688.80

Direct labor cost $_______.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold= $7,395,300
Direct material cost= $3,727,200
Direct labor cost= $3,137,300
Explanation:
A. Calculation to Determine Cost of goods sold using this formula
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold= $ 12,755,000 - 5,359,700
Cost of goods sold= $7,395,300
Therefore Cost of goods sold will be $7,395,300
B. Calculation to Determine Direct material cost using this formula
Direct material cost= Material purchased - Indirect materials - Material Inventory, end of period
Let plug in the formula
Direct material cost= 4,251,600 - 185,500 - 298,900
Direct material cost= $3,727,200
Therefore Direct material cost will be $3,727,200
c. Calculation to determine Direct labor cost using this formula
Direct labor cost= Total manufacturing cost - Direct material costs - other factory overhead - Indirect labor
Let plug in the formula
Direct labor cost= 8,122,000 - $3,727,200 - 834,900 - 422,600
Direct labor cost= $3,137,300
Therefore Direct labor cost will be $3,137,300

Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $87,000 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $29,000 or will be entitled to an additional $29,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at year-end have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $29,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the start of the fifth month, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $29,000.
Required:
1) Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract.
2) Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the bonus will be received.
3) Prepare the journal entry to record the revenue each month for the second four months of the contract.
4) Prepare the journal entry after eight months to record receipt of the cash bonus.
Answer:
Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $87,000
Bonus receivable (Dr.) $29,000
Service Revenue (Cr.) $116,000
Explanation:
Expected Value at contract inception is :
($87,000 * 8 months + $29,000) * 80% = $580,000
($87,000 * 8 months - $29,000) * 20% = $133,400
Total = $713,400
$725,000 / 8 = $89,175
The service revenue is estimated to be 116,000 if there is no probability estimate. When the expected value is incorporated the service revenue will be $89,175.

Fernando Co. will receive 5 million British pounds (£) tomorrow as a result of selling products to a British firm. Fernando has estimated the standard deviation of daily percentage changes of the British pound to be 1.1 percent over the last 100 days. Assume that these daily percentage changes are normally distributed. The expected daily percentage change for the British pound is 0.2 percent tomorrow. What is the dollar value of the maximum potential loss Fernando Co. could incur if the current spot rate for the pound is $1.50?
a. $75,000.
b. $136,500.
c. $151,500.
d. $121,500.
e. none of these choices are correct.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
VAR = {predicted daily percentage change for the British pound - (z value at 95% ×standard deviation of daily percentage ) }
= 0.2% - (1.65 × 1.1%)
= 1.62%
The dollar value of the maximum Portfolio loss is
= Var × Portfolio Value × Change in the value of Pound
= 1.62% × 5000000 × 1.5
= $121,500

Click on the item below that contains a comma splice.
A. Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, Germany, about 110 kilometers from the church in Wittenberg where he nailed his ninety-five theses to the door.
B. Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, Germany; about 110 kilometers from there is Wittenberg, where he nailed his ninety-five theses to the door.
C. Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, Germany, about 110 kilometers from there is Wittenberg, where he nailed his ninety-five theses to the door.
Answer:
The item that contains a comma splice is:
C. Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, Germany, about 110 kilometers from there is Wittenberg, where he nailed his ninety-five theses to the door.
Explanation:
The comma splice occurred when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma instead of a semicolon or a full stop. To avoid this comma splice, the independent clause, "about 110 kilometers from there is Wittenberg," is identified. We can either put a semicolon after Germany or a full stop. Putting a full stop separates the sentence into two.

Which of the statements is the best description of inflation? The prices of only consumer goods are increasing. The price of all goods and services have increased proportionately. The price of all goods and services in the economy are increasing. Real GDP is rising. An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Answer:
An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Mathematically, inflation is given by the formula;
Inflation = Nominal interest - Real interest rate
Hence, the best description of inflation is an increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Additionally, economics can be classified into two (2) main categories, namely;
1. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
2. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets. Simply stated, it focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
Hence, macroeconomic is a kind of externalities that affects the levels of unemployment, inflation, or growth in the economy as a whole.

Required:
a. Calculate contribution margin per unit.
b. What is the contribution margin per unit of limited resource for each product?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The contribution margin per unit is
As we know that
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - variable cost
So
For economy, it is
= $32 - $17
= $15
For standard, it is
= $53 - $21
= $32
For deluxe, it is
= $106 - $50
= $56
b. Now the contribution margin per unit of limited resources is
For economy, it is
= $15 ÷ 0.5
= $30
For standard, it is
= $32 ÷ 0.8
= $40
For deluxe, it is
= $56 ÷ 1.6
= $35

Howell reported net income of $100,000 in 2010 and $120,000 in 2011 while paying $40,000 in dividends each year. What is the amount of unrealized intra-entity inventory profit to be deferred on December 31, 2010?
Answer:
the amount of unrealized intra-entity inventory profit is $1,600
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of unrealized intra-entity inventory profit is given below:
= Profit percentage × amount at year end × purchase percentage
= (($75,000 - $55,000) ÷ $75,000) × 15,000 × 40%
= $1,600
hence, the amount of unrealized intra-entity inventory profit is $1,600
