The Walking Dead Co. provides services on-account and in exchange for cash. All general ledger accounts are adjusted monthly. For September, the following information is available: Accounts Receivable on September 1st is $22,400 (debit) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on September 1st is $4,400 (credit) Services provided during September for cash $20,000 Services provided during September on-account $45,000 During the month collections on account were $34,400 and accounts written off as uncollectible were $2,000. The Walking Dead estimates bad debts at 8% of accounts receivable. After adjusting journal entries are recorded, what is the September 30th balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given that,
Accounts receivables :
Beginning balance 1 September = $22,400
Services on account = $45,000
Cash collected = $34,400
Written off accounts = $2,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Beginning balance 1 September = $4,400
Adjusted balance for Allowance for doubtful accounts on 30th September
= Beginning balance 1 September - Written off accounts + Bad debt expense
= $4,400 + $2,000 + ($45,000 × 8%)
= $4,400 + $2,000 + $3,600
= $6,000
A property that produces a first year NOI of $80,000 is purchased for $750,000. The NOI is expected stay constant through year 5, and to increase by 15% in the sixth year when some of the leases turn over. The NOI would then stay constant in years 6-10. The resale price in year 10 is expected to be $830,000. What is the net present value of investing in this property based on the 10-year holding period and a required return of 9.5%
Answer: $115998
Explanation:
Based on the information given, we can calculate the NOI from the 6th year which will be:
= $80,000 × (100% + 15%)
= $80,000 × 115%
= $80,000 × 1.15
= $92,000
Therefore, the net present value of the property based on the 10-year holding period and a discount rate of 9.5% will be:
= 80000(PVAF, 5 year) + 92000[PVAF,(10-5),9.5%] + 830000/(1.095)10-750000
= (80000 × 3.839) + (92000 × 2.439) + (830000 × 0.403) - 750000
= 307120 + 224388 + 334490 - 750000
= 865998 - 750000
= $115998
Therefore, the net present value is $115998

b. The employees may have been less-experienced workers who were paid less than more-experienced workers or poorly trained, thereby resulting in a labor rate than planned. The lower level of experience or training may have resulted in efficient performance. Thus, the actual time required was than standard.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. The Direct labor rate variance will be:
= 4220 × (44.5 - 46)
= 4220 × -1.5
= -6330 Favorable
The direct labor time variance will be:
= 46 × (4220-4160)
= 46 × 60
= 2760 Unfavorable
Total direct labor cost variance will be:
= (4220 × 44.5) - (4160 × 46)
= 187790 - 191360
= -3570 Favorable
b. The employees may have been less-experienced workers who were paid less than more-experienced workers or poorly trained, thereby resulting in a (lower) labor rate than planned.
The lower level of experience or training may have resulted in (less) efficient performance. Thus, the actual time required was (more) than standard.

ouvenir sheets to stamp collectors. The postal service purchases the souvenir sheets from a supplier for $1.80 each. St. Vincent has been selling the souvenir sheets for $14.00 each and ordinarily sells about 100,000 units. To test the market, the postal service recently priced a new souvenir sheet at $12.60 and sales increased to 114,000 units. Required: 1. What total contribution margin did the postal service earn when it sold 100,000 sheets at a price of $14.00 each
Answer:
Total contribution margin= $1,220,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $1.8
Selling price= $14
Number of untis= 100,000
First, we will determine the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Unitary contribution margin= 14 - 1.8
Unitary contribution margin= $12.2
Now, the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 100,000*12.2
Total contribution margin= $1,220,000
Suppose that you are considering purchasing an investment property for $30 million. The property is expected to have a year 1 net operating income of $1.8 million.

If the annual interest rate on the loan is 5% with monthly payments and monthly compounding, what will the year 1 before-tax cash flow be for the property
Answer:
b. $640,465.32
Explanation:
Options include "$1,800,000, $640,465, ($132,558), $614,846, $704,512"
I/Y = 0.42% [5%/12]
N = 360 [12*30]
PV = -$18,000,000 [-30000000*60%]
FV = $0
So, we calculate the PMT using financial calculator
Monthly payment (CPT) = PMT(I/Y. N, PV, FV)
Monthly payment (CPT) = PMT(0.42%. 360, 18000000, 0)
Monthly payment (CPT) = $96,627.89
Before-tax cash flow = Expected year 1 net operating income - 12*PMT
Before-tax cash flow = $1,800,000 - 12*$96,627.89
Before-tax cash flow = $1,800,000 - $1,159,534.68
Before-tax cash flow = $640,465.32

Crane Co. leased equipment to Union Co. on July 1, 2021, and properly recorded the sales-type lease at $144000, the present value of the lease payments discounted at 8%. The first of eight annual lease payments of $21500 due at the beginning of each year of the lease term was received and recorded on July 3, 2021. Crane had purchased the equipment for $113000. What amount of interest revenue from the lease should Crane report in its 2021 income statement
Answer:
$4,900
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount of interest revenue from the lease should Crane report in its 2021 income statement
Interest revenue=8%/2*($144000 - $21500)
interest revenue=4%*$122,500
interest revenue = $4,900.
Therefore the amount of interest revenue from the lease should Crane report in its 2021 income statement is $4,900

This would increase the loans account an
Answer:
A. Increase; Deposits
B. Initial Value 15; New Value 16
C. The aim of Capital requirement is to protect the interests of all depositors.
Explanation:
A. This would increase the loans account and INCREASE the DEPOSITS account since the double entry principle state that every Debit entry must have a corresponding Credit entry and every Credit entry must have a corresponding Debit entry, therefore based on the information given assuming the new customer adds the amount of $100 to his account at the Mutual Bank, which we were told that the owners of the bank then use to make $100 worth of new loans, in this case both the loans and deposits will be have to increase by the amount of $100.
B. Calculation to determine the leverage ratio from its initial value to a new value
Calculation for Leverage Ratio using this formula
Leverage Ratio = Reserves+Loans+Securities/Capital
Let plug in the formula
Leverage Ratio = $150+$600+$750/$100
Leverage Ratio = $1,500/$100
Leverage Ratio =15
Calculation for New Leverage Ratio
Using this formula
New Leverage Ratio=Reserves+(Loans+increase in loans)+Securities/Capital
Let plug in the formula
New Leverage Ratio=$150+($600+$100)+$750/$100
New Leverage Ratio=$150+$700+$750/$100
New Leverage Ratio=$1,600/$100
New Leverage Ratio=16
Therefore This would also bring the leverage ratio from its INITIAL VALUE of 15 to a NEW VALUE of 16
C.The aim of CAPITAL REQUIREMENT is to protect the interests of all depositors.
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 204,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 156,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $100 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 24,000 tires for $86.5 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.
b. Determine whether the company should reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors

b. The company should reject the special order from Euro Motors as it will incur more costs when it accepts than when it rejects the special order.
c. The minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone is $117.98.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production capacity in tires = 204,000
Current production and sales units = 156,000
Selling price per tire for the North American market = $100
Special order of 24,000 tires from Euro Motors = $86.50 per tire
Total cost per tire: Total Variable
Direct materials $54 $54
Direct labor 24 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24 14.88
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25 11
Total $127.00 $103.88
Special Order:
Offer price = $86.50
Reject Accept
Variable cost per unit $103.88 $2,493,120

Congress is considering a proposal allowing companies to depreciate their equipment at a faster rate. If approved, Coolidge's new depreciation expense would be $8,000,000, although there would be no effect on the economic value of the company's equipment, nor would it affect the company's tax rate, which would remain at 40%. If this proposal were implemented, what would be the company's net cash flow
Answer:
new net cash flow = $8,000,000
Explanation:
Current net cash flow before any change approved by Congress = net income + deprecaition expense = $1,800,000 + $5,000,000 = $6,800,000
Cash flow after Congress approves change = net income + new depreciation expense:
taxable income = $10,000,000 - $8,000,000 - $2,000,000 = $0
deprecaitione xpense = $8,000,000
new net cash flow = $8,000,000

Web Cites Research projects a rate of return of 20% on new projects. Management plans to plow back 30% of all earnings into the firm. Earnings this year will be $3 per share, and investors expect a 12% rate of return on stocks facing the same risks as Web Cites. a. What is the sustainable growth rate
Answer:
6%
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth a company can afford in the long term
Sustainable growth rate (g) = b x ROE
b = retention rate. It is the portion of earnings that is not paid out as dividends = 30%
ROE = return on equity = 20%
Return on equity is an example of a profitability ratio.
Profitability ratios measure the ability of a firm to generate profits from its asset
g = 0.3 x 0.2 = 0.06 = 6%
Based on the information given the sustainable growth rate is 6%.
Using this formula
Sustainable growth rate= ROE × Plowback ratio
Where:
ROE=20%
Plowback ratio=30%
Let plug in the formula
Sustainable growth rate = 0.20 × 0.30
Sustainable growth rate=0.06×100
Sustainable growth rate= 6.00%
Inconclusions the sustainable growth rate is 6%.

Consider the following information for Watson Power Co.: Debt: 3,500 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, selling for 102 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments. Common stock: 84,000 shares outstanding, selling for $59 per share; the beta is 1.06. Preferred stock: 10,000 shares of 6 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $104 per share. Market: 8.5 percent market risk premium and 5.5 percent risk-free rate. Assume the company's tax rate is 35 percent. Find the WACC.
Answer:
9. 82 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt.
Remember to always use the After tax cost of debt :
Cost of Debt :
PV = - $1,020
FV = $1,000
N = 20 x 2 = 40
P/YR = 2
PMT = ($1,000 x 7 %) ÷ 2 = $35
I/YR = ???
The Cost (I/YR) is calculated as 6.82 %. The After tax cost of debt is 4.433 %.
Cost of Equity :
Cost of Equity = Return from risk free security + beta x market premium'
= 5.5 % + 1.06 x 8.5 %
= 14.51 %
Cost of Preferred Stock :
Cost of Preferred Stock = 6 %
therefore,
WACC = 14.51 % x 51.8 % + 6 % x 10.87 %+ 4.433 % x 37.3 %
= 9. 82 %
A firm has an average loan outstanding of $75,000,000 on a $100,000,000 line of credit. There is a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the line, and the interest rate on the borrowed funds is LIBOR 175 basis points. LIBOR is 3.0%. What is the effective annual borrowing rate on the line of credit
Answer:
2.44%
Explanation:
Average outstanding loan = $75,000,000
Total line of credit = $100,000,000
Unused portion = $25,000,000 ($100,000,000-$75,000,000)
Commitment fee = 0.25%
Interest rate = 3.175% (3+0.175%)
Commitment fee = Unused portion*Commitment fee rate
Commitment fee = $25,000,000*0.0025
Commitment fee = $62,500
Interest = Average outstanding balance*Interest rate
Interest = $75,000,000*0.03175
Interest = $2,381,250
Total borrowing cost = Commitment fee + Interest
Total borrowing cost = $62,500 + $2,381,250
Total borrowing cost = $2,443,750
Effective borrowing rate = Total borrowing cost / Credit limit
Effective borrowing rate = $2,443,750/$100,000,000
Effective borrowing rate = 0.0244375
Effective borrowing rate = 2.44%

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
July 1, 2021:
Face value of bonds = $260 million
Interest rate = 5%
Market interest rate = 7%
Payment for the bonds = $200 million
Discount on bonds = $60 million
December 31, 2021:
Semi-annual interest cash receipts = $6.5 million ($260m * 2.5%)
Semi-annual interest revenue = $7 million ($200m * 3.5%)
Amortization of bonds discount = $0.5 ($7 million - $6.5 million)
Fair value of bonds = $215 million

Compute the predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Predetermined overhead rate per DLH
Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Direct materials
Direct labor
Overhead applied
Total manufacturing cost
Answer:
1. $9.50 per Direct labor hour
2. $69,750
Explanation:
1. Computation for the predetermined overhead rate
First step is to calculate the Total Estimated overhead cost
Variable overhead cost $36,250
(72,500 Direct labor hours *$ 0.50 )
Add Fixed overhead cost $652,500
Total Estimated overhead cost $688,750
Now let calculate the predetermined overhead rate
Using this formula
Predetermined overhead rate = Total estimated overhead cost / Total estimated direct labor hours
Let plug in the formula
Predetermined overhead rate = $688,750 / 72,500
Predetermined overhead rate = $9.50 per Direct labor hour
Therefore Predetermined overhead rate will be $9.50 per Direct labor hour
2. Computation for the total job cost for the Xavier company Engagement
Direct Materials $43,500
Direct Labor $ 23,400
Overhead applied $2,850
(300 Direct labor * $9.50 )
Total Manufacturing cost $69,750
Therefore total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement will be $69,750

Just simply because the price and quantity is the same
The red dot on the graph represents the product's equilibrium price.
What do you mean by demand and supply?Demand refers to the consumer's desire and ability in order to purchase a good or service at a given period of time. There is an inverse relationship between demand and price. When price of a product increases, the demand decreases and vice versa.
Supply refers to the total amount of a given product or service a supplier offers to consumers at a given period of time. Supply is usually determined by market movement.
What does the supply and demand graph indicate?The supply and demand graph indicates the relationship between quantity supplied and the quantity demanded. In the graph it is seen that the demand curve and supply curve meet a point, which is the point of intersection (the red dot) and also the point of equilibrium.
Equilibrium is a state of rest. At equilibrium demand matches supply at the same price. If a market is at its equilibrium price and quantity, then it has no reason to move away from that point, as it's balancing both, quantity supplied and the quantity demanded.
However, in the graph the equilibrium price represents the point where the supply of a product is equal to the demand for that product. Thus, red dot on the graph represents the product's equilibrium price where supply meets demand.
Hence, option A is correct.
