Answer:
Rapidly rising prices not only affect the price consumers pay, they also affect the cost businesses have to pay for materials and inventory. When replacement inventory costs more than the inventory you just sold, it can lead to inventory shortages.

A company normally sells it products for $20 per unit, which includes a profit margin of 25%. However, the
selling price has fallen to $15 per unit. This company's current inventory consists 200 units purchased at $16
per unit. Replacement cost has now fallen to $13 per unit. Calculate the value of inventory at the lower of
cost or market.
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory value is shown below:
Market value = 200 units × $16
= $3,200
And, the cost is
= 200 units × $13
= $2,600
So the lower of cost or market value would be considered
Since $2,600 would be lower so the same would be equivalent to the inventory amount

Explanation:
Variable Costing Calculations
Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2
= $ 70
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $ 70 = $462,000
Opening Inventory = 290 x $ 70 = $20,300
Ending Inventory = 300 x $70 = $21,000
Absorption Costing Calculations
Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + ($ 151,800 ÷ 6,600)
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + $23
= $93
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $93 = $613,800
Opening Inventory = 290 x $93 = $26,970
Ending Inventory = 300 x $93 = $27,900

Jamison Company purchased the assets of Booker Company at an auction for $5,600,000. An independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets is listed below: Land $1,900,000 Building 2,800,000 Equipment 2,100,000 Trucks 3,400,000 Assuming Jamison allocates the purchase price on the basis of the relative fair values, what amount would be allocated to the Trucks?
Answer:
$1,866,667
Explanation:
Express the Fair Value of Truck as a parentage of Total Fair Value and multiply by Total Purchase Price
Fair Value of Truck = $3,400,000
Total Fair Value = $1,900,000 + $2,800,000 + $2,100,000 + $3,400,000 = $10,200,000
Cost of Truck = $3,400,000 / $10,200,000 x $5,600,000 = $1,866,667
The amount that would be allocated to the Trucks is $1,866,667
At the beginning of 2021, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $2,950,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $670,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2021. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $228,000. During 2021, Terra logged 570,000 of the estimated 5.7 million board feet of timber. Required: Calculate the 2021 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets
Answer:
depletion of the timber tract = $228,000 and
depreciation of the logging roads = $22,800
Explanation:
Timber tract
Depletion rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated units
= ($2,950,000 - $670,000) ÷ 5,700,000
= $0.40
Depletion expense = Units used x Depletion rate
= 570,000 x $0.40
= $228,000
Logging Roads
Depreciation rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated units
= ($228,000 - $0) ÷ 5,700,000
= $0.04
Depreciation expense = Units used x Depreciation rate
= 570,000 x $0.04
= $22,800

3. $1125 $7,875 $1125
4. $562.50 $8437.5 $562.50
Explanation:
Book value in year in subsequent years = previous book value - that year's depreciation expense
Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($9000 - $1000) / 4 = $2000
Depreciation expense each year would be $2000
Accumulated depreciation would increase each year by the depreciation expense, which is $2000.
Net book value in year 1 = $9000 - $2000 = $7000
Net book value in year 1 = $7000 - $2000 = $5000
Net book value in year 1 = $5000 - $2000 = $3000
Net book value in year 1 = $3000 - $2000 = $1000
B. Unit of production = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Depreciation expense
Year 1 = (5,500 / 16,000) x ($9000 - $1000) = $2,750
Year 2 = (3,800 / 16,000) x ($9000 - $1000) = $1900
Year 3 = (3,200 / 16,000) x ($9000 - $1000) = $1600
Year 4 = (3,500 / 16,000) x ($9000 - $1000) = $1750
Accumulated depreciation in year 1 = $2750
Accumulated depreciation in year 2 = $2750 + $1900 = $4,650
Accumulated depreciation in year 3 = $4,650 + $1600 = $6,250
Accumulated depreciation in year 4 = $6,250 + $1750 = $8000
Book value in year 1 = $9000 - $2,750 = $6250
Book value in year 2 = $6250 - $1900 = $4,350
Book value in year 3 = $4,350 - $1600 = $2750
Book value in year 4 = $2750 - $1750 = $1000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2x (1/4 ) = 0.5
Depreciation expense in Year 1 = 0.5 x $9000 = $4500
Book value in year 1 = $9000 - $4500 = $4500
Depreciation expense in Year 2 = 0.5 x $4500 = $2250
Book value in year 2 = $4500 - $2250 = $2250
Depreciation expense in Year 3 = 0.5 x $2250 = $1125
Book value in year 3 = $2250 - $1125 = $1125
Depreciation expense in Year 4 = 0.5 x $1125 = $562.50
Book value in year 4 = $1125 - $562.50 = $562.50
Accumulated depreciation in year 1 = $4500
Accumulated depreciation in year 2 = $4500+ $2250 = $6,750
Accumulated depreciation in year 3 = $6,750 + $1125 = $7,875
Accumulated depreciation in year 4 = $7,875 + $562.50 = $8437.5

"Jack owns a local trucking company. With fuel costs being expensive, Jack wants to evaluate how much fuel, on average, he should store in his 6,800 gallon fuel tank. Each year Jack uses 68,000 gallons of diesel (usage is spread evenly throughout the year). Jack knows with certainly that he can have a load of fuel delivered in 5 days. The price of fuel is $2.04 per gallon and there is a separate $50 ordering fee per order. Jack thinks his holding cost per unit is 40%. If Jack orders at EOQ, what will be the average inventory of fuel in his 6,800 gallon tank?"
Answer: 1443.5 gallons
Explanation:
Thw following can be gotten from the question:
Fuel tank capacity = 6800 gallon
Annual demand, A = 68000 gallons
Ordering cost, O= $50
Carrying cost, C = 40% × $2.04 = $0.816
EOQ = ✓2AO/✓C
= ✓(2×68000×50) / ✓0.816
= ✓6800000 / ✓0.816
= 2887
Average inventory = EOQ/2
= 2887/2
= 1443.5 gallons
Therefore, the average inventory will be 1443.5 gallons.
I tell you that if you rake all the leaves in my yard, I will show up to Business Law class next week. You immediately come over and start raking the leaves. Halfway through the job you decide to leave to do some extra Business Law reading for fun. I run after you and say, "you didn’t finish, I will sue you for this!" Your best defense is:
Answer: d. There was no valid consideration
Explanation:
Valid consideration is a clause in contract law that states that the contract cannot be valid if both sides did not make a promise to fulfil some duty to each other.
You made a promise that you would come to Business Law class if I raked the yard, however, I never made a promise that I would rake the yard if you came to class. There was therefore no valid consideration.
1. Suppose two types of firms wish to borrow in the bond market. Firms of type A are in good financial health and are relatively low risk. The appropriate premium over the risk-free rate of lending to these firms is 2%. Firms of type B are in poor financial health and are relatively high risk. The appropriate premium over the risk-free rate of lending to these firms is 6%. As an investor, you have no other information about these firms except that type A and type B firms exist in equal numbers. a. At what interest rate would you be willing to lend if the risk-free rate were 5%
Answer:
Type A is 7%, type b is 11%
Explanation:
We have these two firm's as type a and type b
For type A
Interest would be = risk Free rate of 2% + risk free rate of 5% = 7%
For type B
= Risk free rate of 5% + risk free rate of 6% = 11%
I would use the average of this two 9% as interest but this is not going to work for type A because this interest rate is too high. People won't want to pay this much.

Sheridan Company uses a periodic inventory system. Details for the inventory account for the month of January, 2020 are as follows: Units Per unit price Total Balance, 1/1/20 200 $5.00 $1000 Purchase, 1/15/20 120 5.40 648 Purchase, 1/28/20 120 5.50 660 An end of the month (1/31/20) inventory showed that 160 units were on hand. If the company uses FIFO and sells the units for $8 each, what is the gross profit for the month
Answer:
$808
Explanation:
FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first. This means that the Cost of Goods sold will be based on earlier (old) prices.
Also, the periodic inventory system ensures that the cost of sales and the ending inventory are determined at the end of the period. For this question, the end of period is monthly.
Step 1 : Determine Number of Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for sale - Inventory Units
= (200 + 120 + 120) - 160
= 440 - 160
= 280 units
Step 2 : Determine Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales = 200 units x $5 + 80 units x $5.40
= $1,432
Step 3 : Determine Gross Profit
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
= ($8 x 280 units) - $1,432
= $2,240 - $1,432
= $808
Conclusion
The gross profit for the month is $808

a. Straight Line Depreciation:
( Cost of Ice cream maker - Residual Value ) / Useful life in years
( $12,000 - $960 ) / 4 = $2760
b. Units of production :
( Cost of Ice cream maker / Total Productive machine hours ) * Annual Usage
Year 1 ($12,000 / 9200 ) * 3680 = 4416
Year 2 ($12,000 / 9200 ) * 2760 = 3312
Year 3 ($12,000 / 9200 ) * 1840 = 2208
Year 4 ($12,000 / 9200 ) * 920 = 1104
c. Double declining method :
Year 1: $12,000 * 50% = $6000
Year 2 : $12,000 * 25% = $3000
Year 3 : $12,000 * 12.5% = $1500
Year 4 : $12,000 * 6.25% = $560

A coffee manufacturer is interested in whether the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers. A random sample of 50 regular-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 4.35 cups per day. A sample of 40 decaffeinated-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 5.12 cups per day. Assume the population standard deviation for those drinking regular coffee is 1.20 cups per day and 1.36 cups per day for those drinking decaffeinated coffee. Perform an appropriate test at the 1% level of significance. Use the critical value approach.Compute the p-value.
Answer:
The P-Value ≅0 (zero).
Explanation:
From the given data we have
Regular coffee drinkers sample size = n1 = 50
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample size = n2= 40
Regular coffee drinkers sample mean= x1 = 4.35
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample mean = x2= 5.12
Regular coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ1 = 1.2
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ2= 1.36
1) Formulate null and alternate hypothesis
H0: u1≥ u2 Ha: u1 < u2
The null hypothesis is that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is greater or equal to the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers
against the claim
the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.
2) The test statistic is
z= x1-x2/ sqrt( σ1 ²/n1 + σ2²/n2)
Putting the values
z = 4.35- 5.12/ sqrt( 1.44/50 + 1.8496/40)
z= -5.44
3) The significance level is 0.01
The critical region is Z < -2.33
4) Since the calculated value of z= -5.44 is less than the z ∝= -2.33 we reject H0.
5) the P-value can be calculated using the calculator.
The P-Value is < 0.00001.
P= 0
Which means that the claim is accepted that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is less than the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.
A sales representative lives in Bloomington and must be in Indianapolis next Thursday. On each of the days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he can sell his wares in Indianapolis, Bloomington, or Chicago. From past experience, he believes that he can earn $12 from spending a day in Indianapolis, $16 from spending a day in Bloomington, and $17 from spending a day in Chicago. Where should he spend the first three days
Answer:
Bloomington.
Explanation:
Since a sales representative lives in Bloomington and must be in Indianapolis next Thursday, and on each of the days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he can sell his wares in Indianapolis, Bloomington, or Chicago, and from past experience, he believes that he can earn $ 12 from spending a day in Indianapolis, $ 16 from spending a day in Bloomington, and $ 17 from spending a day in Chicago, to determine where he should spend the first three days, the following calculation must be performed:
Indianapolis: 12 x 3 = 36
Bloomington: 16 x 3 = 48
Chicago: 17 x 3 = 51
Thus, in principle, the representative should spend his 3 days in Chicago, but if the cost of travel is discounted, he should spend those 3 days in Bloomington, since he will earn more money than if he moves in advance to Indianapolis.
A businessperson is setting up a new automatic car wash and is choosing between two fully automated machines. The first machine can process up to 2,000 cars per month at a marginal cost of $1 per car. The second machine can also process up to 2,000 cars per month but at a marginal cost of $0.50 per car. The monthly lease for the machine with the higher marginal cost is $1,200. The monthly lease for the machine with the lower marginal cost is $1,590 The car wash can sell car washes for $8 per car. 1. Suppose the businessperson chooses to lease the machine with the higher marginal cost for the first month and does indeed wash 2,000 cars that month. The businessperson earned profits of____________ $ in the first month. 2. Suppose now the businessperson chooses to lease the machine with the lower marginal cost for the second month and again washes 2,000 cars that month. The businessperson earned profits of __________$ in the second month. 3. The car wash would have to wash ____________cars or more per month in order to justify paying the higher-priced machine lease.

Assume that Simple Co. had credit sales of $248,000 and cost of goods sold of $148,000 for the period. Simple uses the aging method and estimates that the appropriate ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $2, 800. Before the end-of-period adjustment is made, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $230. What amount of Bad Debt Expense would the company record as an end-of-period adjustment?
Answer: $2,570
Explanation:
Simple estimates that the appropriate ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $2,800.
This account has a credit balance of $230.
The amount of Bad Debt expense is the amount that will take it to a balance of $2,800:
= 2,800 - 230
= $2,570
Ben and Molly are married and will file jointly. Ben generates $300,000 of qualified business income from his single-member LLC (a law firm). He reports his business as a sole proprietorship. Wages paid by the law firm amount to $40,000; the law firm has no significant property. Molly is employed as a tax manager by a local CPA firm. Their modified taxable income is $386,600 (this is also their taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income). Determine their allowable QBI deduction for 2020. $fill in the blank 1
Answer:
A. $8,000
B. $14,400
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit
First step is to calculate the Applicable Percentage
Applicable percentage= 100%-($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000
Applicable percentage=40%
Now let Calculate the tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit
GREATER OF BELOW:
Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=50% of W-2 wages ($40,000 × 50% × 40%)
Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$8,000
OR
Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=[ W-2 wages of ($40,000 × 25% × 40%)]+ [Unadjusted basis of qualified property of ($0 × 2.5% × 40%)]
Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000+$0
Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000
Therefore their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit will be $8,000
2. Calculation to Determine their allowable QBI deduction for 2020
First step is to calculate the General QBI deduction
General QBI deduction [($300,000 × 20%)× 40%]
General QBI deduction=$24,000
Second step is to calculate the Reduction Ratio
Reduction ratio= ($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000
Reduction ratio=$60,000/100,000
Reduction ratio= 60%
Now let calculate the allowable QBI deduction for 2020
General QBI deduction $24,000
Less Reduction of W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit ($9,600)
[($24,000-$8,000)*60%]
2020 Allowable QBI deduction $14,400
($24,000-$9,600)
Therefore their allowable QBI deduction for 2020 will be $14,400
what effect does a rise in fuel prices have on product prices
Answer:
Rise in product prices
Explanation:
It becomes more expensive to produce and to transport the goods, so the product price will increase to make up for it.
Fuqua Company’s sales budget projects unit sales of part 198Z of 10,000 units in January, 12,000 units in February, and 13,000 units in March. Each unit of part 198Z requires 4 pounds of materials, which cost $2 per pound. Fuqua Company desires its ending raw materials inventory to equal 40% of the next month’s production requirements, and its ending finished goods inventory to equal 20% of the next month’s expected unit sales. These goals were met at December 31, 2019.
Requried:
a. Prepare a projected budget for Jan and Feb 2017.
b. Prepare a direct material budget for Jan 2017.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the production budget for January, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
January:
Production= 10,000 + (12,000*0.2)
Production= 12,400 units
February:
Production= 12,000 + 13,000*0.2 - (12,000*0.2)
Production= 12,200
Now, the raw material budget:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 12,400*4 + (12,200*4)*0.4
Purchases= 69,120 pounds
Total cost= 69,120*2= $138,240
In an economy with no government and no foreign sector, autonomous consumer spending is $250 billion, planned investment spending is $350 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 2/3. What is the income-expenditure equilibrium GDP (i.e. Y*)
Answer: $1800 billion.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the consumption function will be given as:
= a + bY
= 250 + 2/3Y
Then, aggregate expenditure will be:
= 250 + 2/3Y + 350
= 600 + 2/3Y
Then, the income-expenditure equilibrium GDP (i.e. Y*) will be at the point that the real GDP is equal to the aggregate expenditure. This will be:
Y = 600 + 2/3Y
Y - 2/3Y = 600
1/3Y = 600
Y = 3 × 600
Y = 1800
Therefore, the income-expenditure equilibrium GDP is $1800 billion.
On January 1, 2019, Lightfoot Corporation issues 10%, 5-year bonds with a face value of $275,000 when the effective interest rate is 9%. Interest is to be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Prepare calculations to prove that the selling price of the bonds is $285,880.07. Click here to access the tables to use with this exercise. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
Value of bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of maturity or par value
Present value of coupon payments:
Coupon is semi annual = 275,000 * 10% * 1/2
= $13,750
Interest = 9%/ 2 = 4.5%
Duration = 5 * 2 = 10 semi annual periods
Present value will be that of an annuity as this cash flow is fixed:
= 13,750 * (1 - (1 + 4.5%)⁻¹⁰) / 4.5%
= $108,799.87
Present value of par value:
= 275,000 / ( 1 + 4.5%)¹⁰
= 177,080.11
Value of bond:
= 108,799.87 + 177,080.11
= $285,879.98
= $285,880
Proven.
Difference due to rounding errors.
