Answer:
Accrual method
Explanation:
As the average annual growth receipts is $27,000,000 which is greater than the $25,000,000 this amount reflects an exception due to which it cannot be applied for cash
Also the accrual method is also selected because it helps while subtracting the expenses instead of cash basis plus it also provides an accurate amount as compared with other methods. And, there is no need to maintain separate books for the purpose of tax
down the net income from the peak tax bracket.

Garland Company received proceeds of $235000 on 10-year, 6% bonds issued on January 1, 2018. The bonds had a face value of $250000, pay interest annually on January 1, and have a call price of 101. Garland uses the straight-line method of amortization. What is the carrying value of the bonds on January 1, 2020? $236500 $246700 $250000 $238000
Answer:
$238000
Explanation:
The computation of the carrying value of the bond is shown below:
Given that
Face Value of Bonds = $250,000
Proceeds from issuance of bonds = $235,000
Before that we need to compute the following things
Now
Discount on Bonds Payable = Face Value of Bonds - Proceeds from issuance of bonds
= $250,000 - $235,000
= $15,000
Life of Bonds = 10 years
Now
Discount on Bonds amortized annually = Discount on Bonds Payable ÷ Life of Bonds
= $15,000 ÷ 10
= $1,500
Now
Discount amortized is
= Discount on Bonds amortized annually × expired life
= $1,500 × 2
= $3,000
Finally
Carrying Value of Bonds = Issue Price + Discount amortized
= $235,000 + $3.000
= $238,000

Nancy sold three capital assets that were held for investment. She sold stock in ABC Corporation for a gain of $10,000; stock in XYZ Corporation for a gain of $2,000; and corporate bonds for a loss of $20,000. Assuming all of the investments had a long-term holding period, how will the transactions be treated for tax purposes
Answer:
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as it does not include the options. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the questions follows:
Nancy sold three capital assets that were held for investment. She sold stock in ABC Corporation for a gain of $10,000; stock in XYZ Corporation for a gain of $2,000; and corporate bonds for a loss of $20,000. Assuming all of the investments had a long-term holding period, how will the transactions be treated for tax purposes?
A) Gain of $12,000 taxed at 15% and a loss of $20,000 deductible against ordinary income
B) Net loss of $8,000 that is fully deductible against ordinary income in the current year
C) Net loss of $8,000 that results in no deduction in the current year, but can be carried forward to offset capital gains for the next year
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
The explanation to the answer is therefore presented as follows:
The first step is to compute the net capital gain (loss) is as follows:
Particulars $
Gain from the sale of stock in ABC Corporation 10,000
Gain from the sale of stock in XYZ Corporation 2,000
Loss from the sale of corporate bonds (20,000)
Net capital gain (loss) (8,000)
In the US, individuals are allowed to use up to $3,000 to reduce their taxable income in the first year of the loss, while the remaining capital losses will be carried over to the next years.
From the net capital gain computed above, the correct option is D. That is, the $8,000 loss will be treated for tax purposes as a $3,000 deduction against ordinary income in the current year with the remaining $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year.
Coronado Company sells merchandise on account for $4600 to Wildhorse Company with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. Wildhorse Company returns $1000 of merchandise that was damaged, along with a check to settle the account within the discount period. What is the amount of the check?
Answer:
$3,528
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the check after considering the discount period is shown below:
= Sale value fo merchandise - returned goods - discount paid
= $4,600 - $1,000 - $3,600 × 2%
= $3,600 - $72
= $3,528
By applying the above formula we can get the amount of the check and the same is to be considered
hence, the amount of the check is $3,528

Under a just-in-time inventory system, a company can reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Under a just-in-time inventory system, a company can reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.
In Business management, Just-in-time (JIT) is an inventory management method used by a company wherein goods, products, components, and labor are made available exactly when needed or just few hours before they are needed in the production process.
Basically, It is an inventory management system that companies use to reduce wastage to the barest minimum, thereby, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.
Hence, just-in-time when used judiciously can help a company reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory management.
J&R Renovation, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 20 years to maturity that is quoted at 107 % of face value. The issue makes semi-annual payments and has a coupon rate of 9 % annually.
A. What is the company's pretax cost of debt?
B. If the tax rate is 35 %, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
a) 8.36%
b) 5.43%
Explanation:
to find the pretax cost of debt we must find the yield to maturity:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
YTM = {45 + [(1,000 - 1,070) / 40]} / [(1,000 + 1,070) / 2] = 43.25 / 1,035 = 0.04178 x 2 = 0.08357 = 8.36%
after tax cost of debt = 8.36% x (1 - 35%) = 8.36% x 0.65 = 5.43%
Gelb Company currently manufactures 49,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $89,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $78,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 49,000 units and buying 49,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer:
If the company buys the component, income will increase by $223,750.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 49,000
Variable costs are $6.25 per unit
Fixed costs= $89,000 per year
The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit.
We will take into account only the differential costs.
Make:
Total cost= 49,000*6.25 + 89,000= $395,250
Buy:
Total cost= 49,000*3.5= $171,500
From the beginning, we knew that the cost of buying was cheaper than the unitary variable cost of making the part.
If the company buys the component, income will increase by $223,750.
The aging method of estimating uncollectible accounts is based on the assumption that the longer an account receivable remains outstanding, the less likely it is to be collected. This statement is
Answer:
This statement is true.
Explanation:
The aging method of estimating uncollectible accounts is a method that is used to calculate the amount of counts receivable of a company that may not be collected.
Under the aging method, invoices of customers that are yet to be paid are sorted by invoice date into about four columns, and invoices with longer days assumed to be less likely to be collected.
For example, a company may have current invoice not yet due in the first column with 25% not likely to be collected; the invoice amounts that are 1-30 days past due in the second column with 50% not likely to be collected; the invoice amounts that are 31-60 days past due in third column with 75% not likely to be collected; and the invoice amounts that are 61 and above days past due in the fourth column with 100% not likely to be collected.
Based on the explanation above, it is therefore true that the aging method of estimating uncollectible accounts is based on the assumption that the longer an account receivable remains outstanding, the less likely it is to be collected.
Which of the following is an example of competitive parity? A firm provides wall clocks that its consumers value more than other wall clocks. A firm sells wall clocks at a lower price than its competitors. A firm produces a similar number of wall clocks at a similar cost as its competitors. A firm manufactures higher-quality wall clocks than its competitors.
Answer:
A firm produces a similar number of wall clocks at a similar cost as its competitors.
Explanation:
Competitive parity, as the name implies, is a situation in which a firm has a similar good or service to that of its competitors. These similarities can manifest in quality, cost, or both.
Im this case, if a firm produces a similar quantity of wall clocks, and sells them at a similar price, then, this firm has a competitive parity with its competitors.
At December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley, Inc.: ending inventory $155,377; beginning inventory $119,035; cost of goods sold $349,114; and sales revenue $761,865
Calculate the inventory turnover ratio for Oakley, Inc. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.12.)
Inventory turnover ratio times
Answer:
143.444 days
Explanation:
For the computation of inventory turnover ratio first we need to find out the average inventory and inventory turnover which is shown below:-
Average inventory
= (Ending inventory + Beginning inventory) ÷ 2
= ($155,377 + $119,035) ÷ 2
= $137,206
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $349,114 ÷ $137,206
= 2.5444 times
Days in Inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory Turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.5444
= 143.444 days
Flapjack Corporation had 7,824 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.03 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 978 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.1 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $12.75 per hour. Round your answer to the nearest cent. The direct labor time variance is a.$5,625.46 unfavorable b.$5,625.46 favorable c.$11,222.55 unfavorable d.$11,222.55 favorable
Answer:
$11,220 Unfavorable
Explanation:
As we know that:
Labor Time Variance = Standard rate per hour * (Standard time for actual output - Actual time worked)
Here,
Standard rate per hour= 12.75$
Standard time for actual units = 978 units * 7.1 hour per unit = 6,944 Hours
Actual hours worked are 7,824 hours
By putting the above values, we have:
Labour time variance = $12.75 * (6,944 - 7,824) = $11,220 Unfavorable
Suppose that Prince Puckler's Ice Cream sells 100 cones each day. It sells each cone for $3, its average variable cost is $2.50, marginal cost is $3, and the average total cost is $3.10. From this, one knows the firm:
Answer:
The firm should continue operation
Explanation:
Under the production cost theory, the comparison of price (P) and average variable cost (AVC) is used to decide whether a firm should continue operation or shut down under the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1: If P > AVC, continue operation
Scenario 2: If P < AVC, shut down.
Under scenario 1, it is better for a firm to continue operation since P is greater than AVC. This implies that the firm can fully pay for its variable cost of production and partially pay for a part of the fixed cost but not fully. As result, loss will be minimized by the firm if it continues operation.
Under scenario 2, the better decision for the firm is to shut down operation. The reason is that the firm is unable to even fully pay for its variable cost. In order to minimize cost, the firm is advised to shut down operation.
From the question, the $3 price of Prince Puckler's Ice Cream is greater than its $2.50 average variable cost. This implies that Prince Puckler falls under Scenario 1 above. Therefore, Prince Puckler should continue operation despite that the $3 prie is lower than $3.10 average total cost. This is because the variable cost will be fully covered while a part of the fixed cost will also be covered but not fully. Doing this will minimize total cost for Prince Puckler.
Therefore, one knows from the information in the question that the firm the firm should continue operation.
____________ tend to focus on the logical soundness and preciseness of ideas, rather than the ideas’ practical values; they tend to work in research and planning units.
A. Convergers

The assimilators are the individuals who depend on the reflective observation and conceptualization on abstracts.
These are the set of individuals who seems to more concerned about the abstract ideas and concepts rather than concerned about about other people. The assimilators also focus on how precise and logically sound an idea is, rather than focusing on the practical values of the ideas. .
Beth is the assistant store manager at a trendy clothing store. The store hires lots of seasonal employees. Beth has little regard for the skill or ability of those she hires, and she is certain that few would come to work on time each day if it weren't for the fact that the store is known to fire any employee who fails to be on time. As a student of motivational theory, you would describe the management style of Beth as
Answer:
The correct answer will be "Theory X".
Explanation:
Through Theory X, alternatives to administration may range across a hard methodology to another soft one. The hard or challenging framework is focused on intimidation, overt threats, small compared oversight as well as tighter restrictions, which are control or perhaps management system.One such approach to management believes the average employee seems to have little motivation, lacks accountability, and therefore is structured to individual objectives.So you might well characterize Beth's leadership approach as Theory X as being a graduate of motivation factors.

Answer: ensure proof of the contracts' existence
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that on behalf of the rock group Uno, their manager Thalia agrees to a performance in Seaside Amphitheatre on July 4. Rex, acting for Seaside Productions, and then sends a written copy of the agreement to Thalia which was to be signed.
The main reason why businesspersons put their contracts in writing is in order to make sure that there is a proof regarding the existence of a contract. Without duly signing a contract, it means there is no proof and this can cause a lot of havoc in the future. The signature on contracts make it legitimate.
Which of the following decisions is least likely to involve collaboration? Group of answer choices How much of product A should be ordered from vendor B? Should our company acquire company A? What products should we include in the new product line? What type of relationship should the company maintain with company A?
Answer:
How much of product A should be ordered from vendor B?
Explanation:
The decision that is least likely to involve collaboration is "What type of relationship should the company maintain with the other company?"
Collaboration simply means when people engage and discuss in order for the decision-making process.In order to know the product that should be included in the new product line, collaboration is essential because one will need to engage the different departments in the organization such as sales, marketing, etc. Everyone has to give their opinion on the issue.Also, "Should our company acquire another company ?" is a collaborative decision. This isn't a decision that can be decided by one person. Therefore, the correct option is "What type of relationship should the company maintain with the other company ?" as the decision can be taken by a top manager alone.In conclusion, the correct option is D

Several controls are used to safeguard inventory except a.keeping high-priced inventory behind lock and key. b.hiring security guards. c.allowing all employees access to the materials warehouse. d.installing sensors at all exits.
Answer:
Option C, allowing all employees access to the materials warehouse, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option C is the correct answer because option C recommends allowing access to all the employees. However, allowing access to all employees will reduce security and increase the risk level. While all given options are helpful in safeguarding the inventory except option C. Thus, in this case, it would be difficult to monitor every employee. So Option C is the right answer.
Two companies report the same cost of goods available for sale but each employs a different inventory costing method. If the price of goods has increased during the period then the company using:______
a. LIFO will have the highest ending inventory
b. FIFO will have the highest cost of good sold
c. FIFO will have the highest ending inventory
d. LIFO will have the lowest cost of goods sold
Answer:
c. FIFO will have the highest ending inventory
Explanation:
FIFO means first in, first out. it means it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
LIFO means last in first out. it means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
If FIFO inventory method is used, the first purchased inventory is the first to be sold and price increased during the period, the beginning inventory would be lower and the ending inventory would be higher when compared to a company using LIFO
A monopolistically competitive industry is characterized by a. many firms selling products that are similar but not identical. b. many firms selling identical products. c. a few firms selling products that are similar but not identical. d. a few firms selling highly different products.
Answer:
A monopolistically competitive industry is characterized by
a. many firms selling products that are similar but not identical.
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is a form of imperfect competition with many firms operating in the industry. For such an industry, the goods or services are differentiated, such that one firm's goods or services can easily be associated with the producer. This is mostly achieved through branding and the use of trademarks. Each firm, therefore, competes with many other competitors, but they limit their competition by differentiating their products so that consumers would have preference for one against the other, depending on their perceived value.

How is single loss expectancy (SLE) calculated?This task contains the radio buttons and checkboxes for options. The shortcut keys to perform this task are A to H and alt+1 to alt+9. A Annualized rate of occurrence * asset value * exposure factor B Threat + vulnerability C Asset value ($) * exposure factor D Annualized rate of occurrence * vulnerability
Answer: C.) Asset value ($) * exposure factor
Explanation: The Single Loss Expectancy is used to evaluate the loss in monetary terms that will be incurred by an organization as a result of risk on it's asset. It is expressed mathematically as :
SLE = AV * EF
Where AV refers to the value of the organization's asset.
EF, the exposure factor ranges from 0 - 1 and it measures the fractional percentage of the asset which will be lost due to risk on such asset.
It is an important aspect of risk management or assessment in an organization and steps must be taken to lower the exposure factor of assets.
Refer to Scenario 15-2. Which of the following statements is most likely to be true? (i) New entrants to the market know they will have a smaller market share than PPCo currently has. (ii) PPCo is most likely experiencing rising marginal cost. (iii) PPCo is a natural monopoly. (iv) PPCo is most likely experiencing declining average total cost.
Answer: (i), (iii) and (iv)
Explanation:
PPCo is able to provide the entire needs of the county and and has been in operations for a few years gaining loyal customers and controlling the market. Any company that will want to come in will have to fight them for market dominance and as such will have a smaller market share than PPCo.
As PPCo is meet the demands of everyone in the county, they are most likely experiencing Economies of Scale. This means that they are making more revenue thereby driving total cost down as the fixed costs remain the same but Revenue climbs. This classifies them as a Natural Monopoly because Natural Monopolies experience Economies of Scale and declining average total costs.

Farmers in developing countries claim that the U.S. government, through farm subsidies, is responsible for the artificially low global price of wheat. Because the U.S. government buys whatever wheat American farmers are unable to sell on the open market, American farmers have no incentive to modulate the size of their crops according to the needs of the global market. As a result, American farmers routinely produce more wheat than the global market can absorb and the global price of wheat is kept low. Without these subsidies, the farmers in developing economies claim, American farmers would produce only the amount of wheat that they could sell on the open market and the global price of wheat would rise.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the claims of the farmers in developing countries regarding the price of wheat?
(A) Wheat that is not processed for consumption is often used for certain industrial applications.
(B) Non-governmental buyers of wheat and wheat products are able to predict how much wheat they will need several years in advance.
(C) The U.S. government offers similar subsidies to soybean farmers, though the global price of soybeans is significantly higher than that of wheat.
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
(E) The price of sorghum, a crop for which the U.S. government offers no subsidies, is lower than that of wheat.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
Explanation:
The farmers narrative on the reason on why the price of wheat on the global market is low is justified due to their reason. Unfortunately, that logic would greatly be weaken if the farmers in United States reduces their output while farmers in other countries such as Canada and Russia increases their own output due to incentives from their governments.
This action would still lead to the global price of wheat continually being low.
