Answer:
The realized gain on the sale is $1,800
Explanation
Adjusted basis is defined in tax accouting as the residual cost after deducting various related tax items.
Since
Selling Price = $6,000
Adjusted basis = $4,200
Therefore, the gain realized on the sale is
Sales - Adjusted basis
= $6,000 - $4,200
= $1,800

When customers come to his studio he studies their interest and tries to gauge how much they would pay for a piece, attempting to get as much money as possible from each customer. This is an example of which type of price discrimination
Answer: first degree price discrimination
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Bob is a self-trained painter who works near Maggie Valley, North Carolina, in the Smoky Mountains and that when customers come to his studio he studies their interest and tries to gauge how much they would pay for a piece, attempting to get as much money as possible from each customer.
This is na example of first degree price discrimination as the price being charged to the customers is actually based on what they can afford to pay.
Adirondack Marketing Inc. manufactures two products, A and B. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating overhead to products. However, management is considering moving to a multiple department rate system for allocating overhead. Overhead Total Direct Labor Hours DLH per Product A B Painting Dept. $241,200 11,300 2 11 Finishing Dept. 60,900 11,800 3 3 Totals $302,100 23,100 5 14 The single plantwide factory overhead rate for Adirondack Marketing Inc. is
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17,115.80
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead Total Direct Labor Hours DLH per Product A B
Painting Dept. $241,200 11,300 2 11
Finishing Dept. 60,900 11,800 3 3
Totals $302,100 23,100 5 14
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Total direct labor hours= 5 + 14= 19
Total overhead= 302,100 + 23,100= $325,200
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 325,200/19
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17,115.80
Judith George makes an offer to sell a plot of land using a normal letter and states no authorized means by which the offeree, Helga Holmes must respond if she accepts. If Helga accepts the offer using a normal letter, which of the following is true?
A. The acceptance is effective upon dispatch.
B. The acceptance is effective when it is received.
C. The offer is invalid because it fails to stipulate the means of acceptance.
D. The acceptance would be effective upon dispatch even if the means of acceptance is unreasonable.
Answer: A. The acceptance is effective upon dispatch.
Explanation:
According to mail box rule, an offeree mails out both an acceptance and a rejection to the offeror by giving to statements: (i) an acceptance is effective upon dispatch (means offeree decides to accept) or (ii) a rejection is effective upon receipt.(means offeree decides to reject)
Here, Judith George → offeror
Helga Holmes → offeree
If Helga accepts the offer using a normal letter, the correct statement would be :
A. The acceptance is effective upon dispatch.
On January 1, Song Corp. receives a $100,000, two-year, note receivable from a customer in exchange for payment of goods. The note has a 12% effective interest rate. On January 1, when Song receives the note from the customer, Song will record (Select all that apply.) Note: you must use present value computations to answer this questions.
Textbook Answer
Note Receivable (debit) 100,000
Discount on Note Receivable (credit) 20,281
Sales Revenue (credit) 79,719
I know that Sales Revenue is the difference between the Note Receivable and the Discount on Note Receivable.
HOW DO YOU FIND THE DISCOUNT ON NOTE RECEIVABLE FOR THIS QUESTION USING THE TVM BUTTONS ON A FINANCIAL CALCULATOR? Please provide the exact input and then the reason why.
N = _______
I/Y = _________
PV = _________
PMT = _________
FV = _________
Answer:
Song Corp
1. Correct Journal Entries for the transaction:
Debit Note Receivable $100,000
Credit Interest on Note Receivable $20,281
Credit Sales Revenue $79,719
To record the sale of goods with a 12% note receivable.
2. Explanation of how the discount (Interest) on the Note Receivable was found:
The first button to select on the Calculator is the "Starting Principal," because this is the variable of interest.
The inputs on the TVM buttons were the $100,000 on the FV, $0 on the PMT, 2 on the N, and 12 on the I/Y buttons. These inputs then calculated the value of PV as $79,719 and Interest as $20,281 approximately when I pressed the "Calculate" button.
N = Number of Periods = 2 years
I/Y = Interest Rate = Effective Interest Rate of 12%
PV = Calculated Value (Present Value of the sales transaction = $79,719)
PMT = Periodic Monthly Payments made to settle the debt = $0.
FV = Future value of the note = $100,000
Total Interest = $20,281
Explanation:
The present value of the sales transaction, which Song Corp. contracted with a customer is $79,719. This is the amount that would have the future value of $100,000.00 for the note receivable from the customer, with an effective interest rate of 12% per annum after 2 years.
The difference between the future value of $100,000 and the present value of $79,719 represents the interest cost, which the customer bears for the note receivable.
However, it is important to stress that this difference is not described as a "Discount on Note Receivable" as depicted in this question, but as an "Interest on Note Receivable." A discount on note receivable would have had a debit balance.

Suppose that the marginal utility of good Y = 2X2 and the marginal utility of good X = 4XY. What is the slope of the indifference curve when Y = 7 and X = 2? Assume that good X is on the horizontal axis and good Y is on the vertical axis.
Answer:
The slope of indifference curve is 7.
Explanation:
The marginal utility of good Y = 2X^2
The marginal utility of good X = 4XY
Given Y = 7
X = 2
The slope of the indifference curve is otherwise termed as the marginal rate of substitution. So, we can find the slope by dividing the marginal utility of Y by the marginal utility of X.
Slope = MUx / MUy
= 4XY / 2X^2
= 4Y / 2X
Now insert the value of X and Y.
= (4×7) / (2×2)
= 28/4
= 7
Hence the slope of the indifference curve is 7.

Machinery was purchased on January 1 for $51,000. The machinery has an estimated life of 7 years and an estimated salvage value of $9,000. Double-declining-balance depreciation for the second year would be (round calculations to the nearest dollar):
Answer:
$10,408
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year using the double-declining balance depreciation method is shown below:
First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 7
= 14.28%
Now the rate is double So, 28.57%
In year 1, the original cost is $51,000, so the depreciation is $14,571 after applying the 28.57% depreciation rate
And, in year 2, the ($51,000 - $14,571) × 28.57% = $10,408

Mitchell Corporation manufactures a single product. The selling price is $85 per unit, and variable costs amount to $68 per unit. The fixed costs are $16,500 per month. What will be the monthly margin of safety (in dollars) if 1,800 units are sold each month
Answer: $ 70,500
Explanation:
Given, Number of units = 1800
Per unit selling price = $85
Total Sales price = (Number of units ) x (Per unit selling price)
= 1800 x $ 85
= $153,000
Variable cost per unit = $68
Total variable cost = 1800 x $68 = $122,400
Contribution Margin = (Sales price ) - (Variable cost)
= $ (153000-122400)
= $30,600
Fixed cost = $16,500 per month
Profit = (Contribution Margin) - (Fixed cost)
= $(30,600-16,500)
= $14,100
PV ratio = (Contribution Margin) ÷ (Total sales) x 100%
= $ (30,600÷153,000)x 100%
=20%
Margin of Safety = (profit) ÷ (PV ratio)
= ($14,100) ÷ (20%)
= ($14,100) ÷ (0.20)
= $ 70,500
Hence, the monthly margin of safety = $ 70,500
ABO purchased a truck at the beginning of 2018 for $140,000. They sold the truck at the end of 2019 for $95,000. If the expected useful life of the truck was six years with a residual value of $20,000 and ABO uses straight-line depreciation, which of the following is true regarding the entry to record the sale of the truck?
A. Credit Gain $5,000
B. Debit Loss $5,000.
C. Credit Accumulated Depreciation $40,000.
D. Credit Equipment $100.000.
Answer:
Therefore, the entry to record the sale of the truck involves B. Debit Loss $5,000.
Explanation:
First determine the Accumulated depreciation on the Truck
Depreciation Expense = Cost - Residual Value / Estimated Useful years
= ($140,000 - $20,000) / 6
= $20,000
Accumulated Depreciation :
2018 : $20,000
2019 : $20,000
Total : $40,000
Then Process the Sales journal to determine the profit or loss on sale of Truck as follows :
Accumulated Depreciation $40,000 (debit)
Cash $95,000 (debit)
Profit and Loss $5,000(debit)
Cost : Truck $140,000 (credit)
Conclusion :
Therefore, the entry to record the sale of the truck involves B. Debit Loss $5,000.
If a 10% decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8% increase in quantity demanded of that product, will another 10% decrease in the price cause another 8% increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
to determine if another 10% decrease in the price cause another 8% increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded, we have to determine the price elasticity of demand.
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
8% / 10% = 0.8
demand in inelastic so a 10% reduction in price would lead to a less than 8% change in quantity demanded
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
GeoMines Corp. has the following costs related to a mine it acquired this year. Cost of land and natural resource rights $100,000 Development cost before production begins 20,000 Future cost to restore land after mining 15,000 Equipment used for mining 80,000 Exploration and drilling costs 30,000 What amount should be included as an asset for natural resources
Answer:
$165,000
Explanation:
The cost of an asset is derived by considering every cost related to the purchase of an item and putting the asset to use, These costs include the original purchase price , site preparation ,transportation ,installation and testing , warranties and the future cost of restoring dismantling and restoring the land at the completion of its useful life time.
Looking at the given scenario , the related cost of the natural resources as an asset are the cost of the land and the natural resources , development cost ,future cost of land restoration and the cost of exploration and drilling.
The depreciation value of the equipment used for mining will be charged as an expense for the operation year.
Cost of natural resources = 100,000+20,000+15,000+30,000=165,000
