Dr Inventory $30
Cr Income tax payable $12
Cr Retained earnings $18
b. Calculation to Determine the net income to be reported in the 2016–2015 comparative income statements
Balance at Jan ,2015 $21.00 millions
[35 millions- (35 millions* 40%)]
NET INCOME $28.80 millions
Cash dividends ($4.20) millions
Balance At December 31,2015 $45.60 millions
NET INCOME $18 millions
Cash dividends ($4.20) millions
BALANCE AT DECEMBER 31,2016 $59.40 millions
Therefore the net income to be reported in the 2016–2015 comparative income statements will be:
2016 Net income $18
2015 Net income $28.80
The journal entry to record the change in accounting principle will be:
Debit Inventory $30 million
Credit Income tax $12 million
Credit Retained earnings $18 million
(To record error correction)
It should be noted that the income tax will be credited in the amount below:
= 40% × ($7 million + $23 million)
= 40% × $30 million.
= 0.4 × $30 million
= $12 million
The retained earnings will be:
= $30 million - $12 million
= $18 million
The net income to be reported in the 2016–2015 comparative income statements will be $18 million and $28.8 million.
The net income for 2016 will be:
= $30 million - $12 million
= $18 million
The net income for 2015 will be:
= $48 million - (40% × $48 million)
= $45 million - $19.2 million
= $25.8 million

Mary makes 10 pies and 20 cakes a day and her opportunity cost of producing a cake is 2 pies. Tim makes 20 pies and 10 cakes a day and his opportunity cost of producing a cake is 4 pies. If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.
Answer:
If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.
Mary would specialize in making cakes while Tim would specialize in making pies.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mary's opportunity cost of making a cake = 2 pies
She can make additional 5 (10/2) cakes instead of making pies
This will increase her cakes to 25 a day (20 + 5)
Tim's opportunity cost of making a cake = 4 pies
She can make additional 40 pies (10 * 4) instead of making cakes
This will increase her pies to 60 pies a day (20 + 40)
When they specialize there will be 25 cakes and 60 pies produced in a day instead of 30 cakes and 30 pies.

Lafayette, Inc. was incorporated on January 1, 2014. Lafayette issued 15,000 shares of common stock and 800 shares of preferred stock on that date. The preferred stock is cumulative, $100 par, with an 12% dividend rate. Lafayette has not paid any dividends yet. In 2017, Lafayette had its first profitable year, and on November 1, 2017, Lafayette declared a total dividend of $44,000. What is the total amount that will be paid to common stockholders
Answer:
$5,600
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total amount that will be paid to common stockholders?
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$44,000-[(800 (12%)($100)*4]
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$44,000-($9,600*4 )
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$44,000-$38,400
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$5,600
(2014-2017=4)
Therefore the total amount that will be paid to common stockholders is $5,600
Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Matsui Co. paid $1,795,200 for its investment in 74,800 shares of Yankee Inc. Further, assume that Yankee has 220,000 total shares of stock issued. The book value and fair value of Yankee's identifiable net assets were both $440,000 at January 1, 2021. The following information pertains to Yankee during 2021:
Net income $240,000
Dividends declared and paid $72,000
Market price of common stock on 12/31/2016 $29/share
What amount would Matsui report in its year-end 2016 balance sheet for its investment in Yankee?
a. $1,608,000.
b. $1,368,000.
c. $1,329,600.
d. None of these answer choices is correct.
Answer: $1,852,320
Explanation:
First find out the proportion owned by Matsui.
= 74,800 shares / 220,000
= 34%
The investment at the end of the year is:
= Cost of investment + Shares of net income - Share of dividend
Share of income:
= Percentage ownership * Net income
= 34% * 240,000
= $81,600
Share of dividend:
= 34% * 72,000
= $24,480
Investment at end of year:
= 1,795,200 + 81,600 - 24,480
= $1,852,320

Understand and explain the process of idea generation and validation
Answer:
Idea generation is the creative process or procedure that a company uses in order to figure out solutions to any number of difficult challenges. It involves coming up with many ideas in a group discussion, selecting the best idea or ideas, working to create a plan to implement the idea, and then actually taking that idea and putting it into practice. The idea can be tangible, something you can touch or see, or intangible, something symbolic or cultural.

Sales $ 100,000 Operating expenses $ 94,000 Operating assets $ 40,000 Stockholder's equity $ 25,000 Cost of capital 10 % What is Sweet Dreams Company's return on investment (ROI)
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
Given that :
Operating expenses = $94000
Operating assets = $40,000
Sales = $100,000
Return on investment = profit / operating asset
Profit = sales - operating expenses
Profit = (100,000 - 94000) = $6000
Return on investment = $6000 / $40000 = 0.15
= 0.15 * 100% = 15%
Auerbach Inc. issued 8% bonds on October 1, 2021. The bonds have a maturity date of September 30, 2031 and a face value of $225 million. The bonds pay interest each March 31 and September 30, beginning March 31, 2022. The effective interest rate established by the market was 10%. Assuming that Auerbach issued the bonds for $255,366,000, what would the company report for its net bond liability balance at December 31, 2021, rounded up to the nearest thousand?
Answer:
Auerbach Inc.
For its net bond liability balance at December 31, 2021, the company would report:
= $253,482 (in thousands).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds = $225,000,000
Price of bonds = $255,366,000
Bonds premiums = $30,366,000 ($255,366,000 - $225,000,000)
Maturity date = September 30, 2031
Maturity period = 10 years
Coupon interest rate = 8%
Effective interest rate = 10%
Payment of interest = Semiannually on March 31 and September 30:
December 31, 2021:
Interest expense = $6,384,150 ($255,366,000 * 10% * 3/12)
Cash payment = $4,500,000 ($225,000,000 * 8% * 3/12)
Premium amortization = $1,884,150
Fair value of bonds payable = $253,481,850 ($255,366,000 - $1,884,150)

Excellent Company has provided the following operating information for one of its divisions: Sales $100,000 Variable expenses $55,000 Contribution margin $45,000 Direct fixed expenses $35,000 Common fixed expenses allocated in proportion to sales amounts to $16,000. Based on the provided information, calculate the division's segment margin.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, segment margin is computed as shown below.
Segment margin = Net sales - Cost of sales - Fixed cost
Given that;
Net sales = $100,000
Cost of sales = $55,000
Fixed cost = $35,000
Then,
Segment margin = $100,000 - $55,000 - $35,000
Segment margin = $10,000
Therefore, the division's segment margin is $10,000
A newly independent Eastern European nation wants to adopt a floating exchange rate system in order to restore monetary control to its government. Using the monetary autonomy argument, how do this country's ministers justify establishing this system? Trade deficits are determined by the balance between savings and investment in a country, not by the external value of its currency. Unpredictability of exchange rate movements makes business planning difficult. Speculation in exchange rates dampens the growth of international trade and investment. Each country should be allowed to choose its own inflation rate. Variable exchange rates are more receptive to a trade balance.
Answer:
Each country should be allowed and given the possibility to set its own inflation rate.
Explanation:
The monetary autonomy argument states that a country's central bank should be free to influence its own money supply and internal economic conditions, and therefore a fixed exchange rate should be ineffectual and inefficient.
The proponents said that each country should be entitled to set its own inflation rate. Therefore, Each country should be given the free will to chose and decide its own inflation rate.

Waterway Industries Recorded operating data for its Cheap division for the year. Waterway requires its return to be 10%. Sales $1600000 Controllable margin 88000 Total average assets 4400000 Fixed costs 100000 What is the ROI for the year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, first we need to get the value of contribution margin , which is computed as;
Controllable margin = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed cost
$88,000 = Contribution margin - $100,000
Contribution margin = $88,000 + $100,000
Contribution margin = $188,000
Also,
Net income = Contribution margin - Total fixed expense
Net income = $188,000 - $100,000
Net income = $88,000
Return on investment = Net income ÷ Average operating assets
Return on investment = $88,000 ÷ $4,400,000
Return on investment = 2%
Therefore, the ROI for the year is 2%

Then
Shift IRR = 12.60 %
therefore,
the internal rate of return for a project is 12.60 %
Rudd Clothiers is a small company that manufactures tall-men's suits. The company has used a standard cost accounting system. In May 2020, 11,250 suits were produced. The following standard and actual cost data applied to the month of May when normal capacity was 14,000 direct labor hours. All materials purchased were used.
Cost Element Standard (per unit) Actual
Direct materials 8 yards at $4.40 per yard $375,575 for 90,500 yards ($4.15 per yard)
Direct labor 1.2 hours at $13.40 per hour $200,925 for 14,250 hours ($14.10 per hour)
Overhead 1.2 hours at $6.10 per hour (fixed $3.50; variable $2.60) $49,000 fixed overhead $37,000 variable overhead
Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. At normal capacity, budgeted fixed overhead costs were $49,000, and budgeted variable overhead was $36,400.
Required:
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for (1) materials and (2) labor.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the total, price, and quantity variance for direct material, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (4.4 - 4.15)*90,500
Direct material price variance= $22,625 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8*11,250 - 90,500)*4.4
Direct material quantity variance= $2,200 unfavorable
Total direct material variance= 22,625 - 2,200= $20,425 favorable
To calculate the total, rate, and efficiency variance for direct labor, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1.2*11,250 - 14,250)*13.4
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,050 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (13.4 - 14.1)*14,250
Direct labor rate variance= $9,975 unfavorable
Total direct labor variance= -10,050 - 9,975= $20,025 unfavorable
Rerun Manufacturing Company is in the process of preparing its 2020 budget and is anticipating the following changes: 30% increase in the number of units sold. 25% increase in the direct material unit cost. 20% increase in the direct labor cost per unit. 12% increase in the manufacturing overhead cost per unit. 20% increase in the sales price. 6% increase in the administrative expenses.
Answer:
$403,485
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Composition of direct material, direct labor and factory overhead in the ratio of 3:2:1
So,
Direct Materials = $333,000 × 3 ÷ 6 =$166,500
Direct Labor = $333,000 × 2 ÷ 6 = $111,000
Factory Overhead = $333,000 × 1 ÷ 6 = $55,500
Now the Revised Cost of Goods Sold for the year 2020 is
Direct Materials = $166,500 × 125% = $208,125
Direct Labor = $111,000 × 120% = $133,200
Factory Overhead = $55,500 × 112% = $62,160
finally the estimated cost of goods sold for the year 2020 is
= $208,125 + $133,200 + $62,160
= $403,485
At the beginning of 2018, Hold Steady Company had total assets of $520,000 and total liabilitiesof $250,000. Answer each of the following questions.
a. If total assets increased $60,000 and stockholders' equity decreased $90,000 during theyear, determine the amount of total liabilities at the end of the year.
b. During the year, total liabilities decreased $75,000 and stockholders' equity increased$50,000. Compute the amount of total assets at the end of the year.
Answer:
a. $400,000
b. $495,000
Explanation:
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
520,000 = Equity + 250,000
Equity = 520,000 - 250,000
= $270,000
a. Assets increased by $60,000. This would be:
= 520,000 + 60,000
= $580,000
Equity decreased by $90,000:
= 270,000 - 90,000
= $180,000
Liabilities = Assets - Equity
= 580,000 - 180,000
= $400,000
b. Total liabilities decreased $75,000:
= 250,000 - 75,000
= $175,000
Equity increased by $50,000:
= 270,000 + 50,000
= $320,000
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
= 175,000 + 320,000
= $495,000
A company has a Deferred Tax Liability of $35,000. Now, the government has just changed the statutory tax rate from 35% to 30% effective immediately. What is the correct journal entry to record the impact of this tax rate change
