Answer:
$53,577
Explanation:
Computation for Mr. and Mrs. Kim's qualified residence interest
Using this formula
Qualified residence interest=(Acquisition debt ÷ Total debt) ×Total interest
Where,
Total Acquisition=$ 969,800+ 361,000
Total Acquisition=$1,330,800
Total debt =$ 45,000 +26,300
Total debt=$71,300
Let plug in the formula
Qualified residence interest=(1,000,000÷$1,330,800)×$71,300
Qualified residence interest=$53,577
Therefore the Qualified residence interest is $53,577
Computing Straight-Line and Double-Declining-Balance Depreciation
On January 2, 2016, Dechow Company purchases a machine to help manufacture a part for one of its key products. The machine cost $306,180 and is estimated to have a useful life of six years, with an expected salvage value of $32,760.
Compute each year's depreciation expense for 2016 and 2017 for each of the following depreciation methods.
a. Straight-line.
b. Double-declining balance.
Answer:
a.
2016 = $45,570
2017 = $45,570
b.
2016 = $102,080
2017 = $68,014
Explanation:
Straight line method
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
2016
Depreciation Charge = $45,570
2017
Depreciation Charge = $45,570
Double declining method
Double declining method charges a higher amount of depreciation at the early years and less in the later years
Depreciation Charge = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP
2016
Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x $306,180 = $102,080
2017
Depreciation Charge = 2 x 16.67 % x ($306,180 - $102,080) = $68,014
Carlton Office Systems Inc. needs to improve overall organizational efficiency. To accomplish this, the company has implemented a complete redesign of all business systems and reporting hierarchies. During this process, significant cuts were made in middle management staff. What organizational trend is taking place at this company
Answer:
Reengineering
Explanation:
Reengineering means to redesign the process of the business i.e. systems & organization structure so that the dramatic business performance could be accomplished
Since in the question it is given that company wants to improve its organizational efficiency and for this they have to implement the redesigning of the business system and reporting hierarchies so here the trend would be reengineering
Management of Mittel Company would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported: Inspection time 0.3 days Wait time (from order to start of production) 16.6 days Process time 2.8 days Move time 1.0 days Queue time 4.2 days
1. Compute the throughput time.
2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Enter your answer as a percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
4. Compute the delivery cycle time.
5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.123 should be entered as 12.3).)
Answer:
1. Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
Throughput time = 2.8 + 0.3 + 1 + 4.2
Throughput time = 8.3 days
2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Value added time/Throughput time
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 2.8/8.3
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 0.3373493976
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 0.34
3. Percentage of the throughput time spent in non-value-added activities:
= 1 - 0.34
= 0.66
= 66%
4. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time
Delivery cycle time = 16.6 + 8.3
Delivery cycle time = 24.9
Delivery cycle time = 25 days
5. New throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
New throughput time = 2.8 + 0.3 + 1
New throughput time = 4.1
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Value added time/Throughput time
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 2.8/4.1
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 0.6829268292682927
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 68.30%
For a business owner, insurance is a cost just like any other expenses. How does buying business
insurance and offering insurance to employees affect the business's profit and success?
Answer:
It adds an additional expense which means a percentage of profits are depleted. However, it contributes to the wellbeing of the employees showing that they are cherished and have the opportunity to earn benefits which can play a role in motivating them. Due to this it is more likely the workforce would be more comfortable working for the organisation thus leading to a higher chance at success.
Skysong Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch. 3,800 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.07 per ounce 54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.45 per pound 60 lemons at $0.70 each 150 yeast tablets at $0.28 each 200 nutrient tablets at $0.17 each 1,900 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce Skysong estimates that 5% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used. Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.) Standard Cost Per Gallon $
Answer:
Skysong Itzek
Standard Cost Per Gallon = $8.36
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Requirements for the production of a 50-gallon batch:
Materials Quantity Price Total costs
Ounces of grape concentrate 3,800 $0.07/ounce $266.00
Pounds of granulated sugar 54 $0.45/pound 24.30
Lemons 60 $0.70 each 42.00
Tablets of yeast 150 $0.28 each 42.00
Tablets of nutrient 200 $0.17 each 34.00
Ounces of water 1,900 $0.005/ounce 9.50
Total costs $417.80
Standard cost per unit = Total material costs/Batch Quantity
= $417.80/50 = $8.36
b) Since the estimated wastages of grape concentrate, sugar, and lemons are of no further use, the full costs of the direct materials are used in determining the standard cost. The standard cost is, therefore, equal to the total material costs divided by the batch quantity.
Oriole Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 270 $30 $ 8,100 April 15 purchase 440 36 15,840 April 23 purchase 290 39 11,310 1,000 $35,250 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method. Ending inventory $enter a dollar amount Cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
. Ending inventory = $15,270
cost of goods sold = $19,980
Explanation:
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
the cost of goods sold would be determined using the prices of inventories on April 1 and 15
cost of goods sold
270 x $30 = $8100
+
(600 - 270) x $36 = $11,880
cost of goods sold = $19,980
ending inventory would consist of the inventory not sold on April 15 and the inventory bought on April 23
inventory not sold on April 15 = 440 - (600 - 270) = 110
110 x 36 = $3960
+
290 x 39 = 11,310
total = $15,270
Suppose that you are running a business, and you need some extra space for one year. Your bank offers you a loan of $200,000 at 0% interest. You consider borrowing this amount to buy the building, use it for one year, and then sell the building to pay back the loan. Unfortunately, the economy in which you are operating is experiencing deflation at the rate of 10% per year. After one year, you should be able to sell the building for____.
Suppose that owning the building for a year would earn you $12,000. To decide whether you will be better off by owning it for one year and then selling it, you seek advice from three different people: (1) Your brother says that you should not buy the building because in one year it will cost you $200,000. (2) Your accountant says that you should definitely buy the building because you can borrow $200,000 at zero interest while the building will generate $12,000 in extra income. Then when you sell it, you will be $12,000 richer. (3) Your bookkeeper says that if you sell the building in a year, you will have to come up with more money to pay off the loan than you will make in extra income.
Keeping in mind that the economy experiences deflation at the rate of 10%, who is right?
A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.
B. Your brother is correct, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, the cost of a building is its full purchase price.
C. Your accountant is right, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, you do not incur any cost when you take out a loan.
Now, suppose you inherited $200,000 in cash from your uncle who had kept it hidden in his mattress. Assuming the nominal interest rate is -1%, which of the following options will maximize the amount of cash that you have in one year?
A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.
B. Buying the building, because you can earn an additional $12,000 in income if you own the building for one year and then sell it.
C. Depositing the cash in the bank, because the 10% rate of deflation makes the value of your dollars fall even more rapidly than 1% per year.
A high real interest rate will keep firms from borrowing to finance investment in capital, but it will not keep firms with cash from investing in capital.
A. False
B. True
Answer:
Question 1
The building will depreciate by 10% in one year so in one year you will only be able to sell it for:
= 200,000 * ( 1 - 10%)
= $180,000
Question 2.
A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.
If you buy the building, you will have to pay back $200,000 in a year.
However, you will only be able to sell the building for $180,000 and you will receive an income of $12,000 for a total of:
= 180,000 + 18,000
= $192,000
This is $8,000 less than the $200,000 you borrowed so you will pay back more than you borrowed.
Question 3
A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.
Holding your cash is the best option because investing in the building would lead to a loss of $8,000 after a year.
The bank would also reduce your balance by 1%. It is therefore best to hold the money.
Question 4
A. False
Companies with cash still have to make decisions based on gains and they will stand to gain more if they deposited their money because this would give them more interest profits.
Super Clinics offers one service that has the following annual cost and utilization estimates: Variable cost per visit $ 10 Annual direct fixed costs $50,000 Allocation of overhead costs $20,000 Expected utilization 1,000 visits What price per visit must be set if the clinic wants to make an annual profit of $10,000 on the service? A. $ 70 B. $ 80 C. $ 90 D. $100 E. $110
Answer:
C. $ 90
Explanation:
Number of visits = 1,000
Variable cost = $10 × 1,000 = $10,000
Fixed cost = $50,000
Overhead cost = $20,000
Required profit = $10,000
So,Total Cost = Variable Cost+ Fixed Cost+ Overhead Cost
= $10,000 + $50,000 + $20,000
= $80,000
Now, Price per Visit = (Total Cost+ Required Profit) ÷ Number of visits
= ($80,000 + $10,000) ÷ 1,000
= $90,000 ÷ 1,000
= $90

A firm has current assets that could be sold for their book value of $22 million. The book value of its fixed assets is $60 million, but they could be sold for $90 million today. The firm has total debt with a book value of $40 million, but interest rate declines have caused the market value of the debt to increase to $50 million. What is this firm's market-to-book ratio
Answer:
the firm market to book ratio is 1.48
Explanation:
The computation of the market to book ratio is shown below:
The Market values is
= $22 million + $90 million - $50 million
= $ 62 million
And, the Book values is
= $22 million + $60 million - $40 million
= $42 million
Now the firm market to book ratio is
= $62 million ÷ $42 million
= 1.48
Hence, the firm market to book ratio is 1.48
According to behavioral economics, consumers A. do not always behave rationally because they ignore sunk costs. B. always behave rationally because they take into account monetary costs and nonmonetary opportunity costs. C. do not always behave rationally because they fail to ignore sunk costs . D. always behave rationally because they are overly optimistic about their future behavior. E. do not always behave rationally because they take into account nonmonetary opportunity costs.
Answer:
A. do not always behave rationally because they ignore sunk costs.
Explanation:
Behavioral economics can be defined as a branch of economics that typically deals with the study of market transactions in which consumers of goods and services make choices or buying decisions that doesn't look economically rational.
According to behavioral economics, consumers do not always behave rationally because they ignore sunk costs i.e being overly optimistic about their behavior in the future while ignoring the fact that the money has been spent on purchase and cannot be recovered again.
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.
In 1999, the Federal Trade Commission allowed Exxon and Mobil to merge. At the time, Exxon and Mobil were the top two firms in their industry, and their merger created the largest corporation in the world. To allow the merger, Exxon and Mobil agreed to sell 2,431 gas stations. Of these, 1,740 were in the mid-Atlantic states, 360 were in California, 319 were in Texas, and 12 were in Guam.
Why would the U.S. government require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur?
a. Because these geographic regions had too many gas stations.
b. To protect consumers from inappropriate price decreases.
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
d. To ensure that Exxon-Mobil would earn fair profits in these geographic areas.
Answer:
1999 Merger of Exxon and Mobil
The reason that made the U.S. government to require Exxon and Mobil to divest themselves of so many gas stations in localized parts of the country to be willing to allow the merger to occur is:
c. To ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
Explanation:
The agreement to sell so many gas stations in localized parts of the country was to forestall antitrust lawsuits. It was also made to protect consumers from unwarranted price increases, allowing more competition in the affected areas, where ExxonMobil owed too many gas stations.
The reason why the US would require these two companies to divest themselves is because to ensure competition in these regions and protect consumers from unwarranted price increases.
The answer to this question is option c. Sometimes when two companies merge into one, they could become too powerful. When this is the case, they may end up driving out all their competitors from the market.
At this point, a monopoly may arise from the companies. When a monopoly arises, they would be able to set the price to any amount that they want. This divest option by the government was to ensure the protection of consumers from a situation of price hikes.

Tax multiplier $2billion
Explanation:
Computation for the amount the government would have to increase spending to close the output gap according to each economist's belief
ECONOMIST A
Government spending multiplier=16/4
Government spending multiplier=$4billion
Tax multiplier=16/2
Tax multiplier=$8billion
ECONOMIST B
Government spending multiplier=16/2
Government spending multiplier=$8billion
Tax multiplier=16/8
Tax multiplier=$2billion
Therefore the amount the government would have to increase spending to close the output gap according to each economist's belief are :

Suppose that the demand for milk in the United States is represented by the following equation, where P is the price of a gallon of milk. QD = 200 – 10P The supply of milk is represented by the following equation: QS = –10 + 50P The equilibrium price of a gallon of milk is a) $ (give your answer to two decimals), and the equilibrium quantity is b) million gallons.
Answer:
a.
P = $3.50 per gallon
b.
Equilibrium Quantity = 165 million gallons
Explanation:
a.
The equilibrium price is the price at which Quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. To calculate the equilibrium price using the given equations for demand and supply, we need to equate both equations.
Equilibrium Price (P) calculation
QD = QS
200 - 10P = -10 + 50P
200 + 10 = 50P + 10P
210 = 60P
P = 210 / 60
P = $3.50 per gallon
b.
The equilibrium quantity can be calculated by inserting the value of Price (P) in any of the equation for demand or supply.
Equilibrium Quantity = 200 - 10(3.50)
Equilibrium Quantity = 200 - 35
Equilibrium Quantity = 165 million gallons
Last year, Pastis Productions reported $100,000 in sales and $40,000 in cost of goods sold. The company estimates it would have doubled its sales and cost of goods sold had it allowed customers to buy on credit, but it also would have incurred $50,000 in additional expenses relating to wages, bad debts, and interest. Using these estimates, calculate the amount by which Income from Operations would increase (decrease).
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
The computation of the increase or decrease of income from operations is shown below
Without Credit
Income from Operations is
= $100,000 - $40,000
= $60,000
And,
With Credit
Income from Operations is
= 2 × ($100,000 - $40,000) -$50,000
= $70,000
So, there is Increase in Income from Operations i.e.
= $70,000 - $60,000
= $10,000

Calculating Liquidity Ratios SDJ, Inc., has net working capital of $1,050, current liabilities
of $4,300, and inventory of $1,300. What is the current ratio? What is the quick ratio?
Answer:
Current Ratio = 1.244
Quick Ratio = 0.942
Explanation:
NWC = 1050 = Current Assets – Current Liabilities = CA - 4300
=> CA = 1050+ 4300 = 5350
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
= 5350/ 4300 = 1.244
Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventory) / Current Liabilities
= (5350 – 1,300)/4300 = 0.942
Jenny has a $82,500 basis in her 50 percent partnership interest in the JM Partnership before receiving any distributions. This year JM makes a proportionate operating distribution to Jenny of a parcel of land with an $110,000 fair value and a $89,700 basis to JM. The land is encumbered with a $42,850 mortgage (JM's only liability). What is Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution
Answer:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution
Based on the information given her basis in the land equal to the amount of $89,700 while are remaining basis in JM is the amount of $14,225, Calculated as:
Predistribution basis in JM $82,500
Add deemed contribution $21,425
(50%*$42,850)
Less: basis allocated to land ($89,700)
Remaining basis in JM $14,225
Therefore her basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution are:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.
Marginal revenue,graphically is:_________
a. the slope of a line from the origin to a point on the total revenue curve.
b. the slope of a line from the origin to the end of the total revenue curve.
c. the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point.
d. the vertical intercept of a line tangent to the total revenue curve at a given point.
e. the horizontal intercept of a line tangent to the total revenue curve at a given point.
Answer:
c. the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point.
Explanation:
Cost-volume-profit analysis is also known as the break even analysis, it is an important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is. It is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.
Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.
Marginal revenue can be defined as the additional amount of money that is gained or generated by a business firm from the sales of an additional unit of a product or service.
Marginal revenue, graphically is the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point.
This ultimately implies that, the change in the value of the total revenue curve at a given point gives the marginal revenue.

Vector Technology is suffering from cyber-loafing, which is employee use of work internet access for personal use. Can you lead a task force in creating a new social media policy for Vector before productivity drops even further? Keep in mind that you don't want to create employee backlash! Instructor Instructions: Please review the instruction and respond to the questions for this homework assignment.
Answer:
New social media policy about the internet usage should be implemented with strict internal controls so that there is no back loafing again by the employees in the organization.
Explanation:
Cyber loafing is Internet back loafing when employees are using company's internet access for personal use or for a second job. Some organizations do allow personal use of internet but to some extent and it should be monitored. When employees find loopholes in the company's internal controls they will create some opportunity for fraud. The internet access given to employees should be monitored carefully and there should be strict internal controls so that any misuse is avoided.
Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2021. The inventory as reported at the end of 2020 using LIFO would have been $53,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2020 was reported as $710,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 35%.
Required:
a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2009) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2009 to record the change in principle.
Answer:
a. The balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years is $744,450.
b. Debit Inventory for $53,000; Credit Income tax payable for $18,550; and Credit Retained earnings for $34,450.
Explanation:
Note: There is an error in the date stated in the requirements of the question as they are different from the date in the body of the question. The requirements are therefore restated with the correct date before answering the question as follows:
a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in principle.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
The effect of LIFO is to overstate the cost of goods sold and understated the retained earnings.
The balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years can therefore be determined as follows:
Inventory understatement net of tax = $53,000 * (100% - Tax rate) = $53,000 * (100% - 35%) = $34,450
Therefore, we have:
Retained earnings under FIFO = Retained earnings as reported + Inventory understatement net of tax = $710,000 + $34,450 = $744,450
Therefore, the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years is $744,450.
b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in principle.
The journal entry will look as follows:
Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
Inventory 53,000
Income tax payable (53,000 * 35%) 18,550
Retained earnings 34,450
(To record the change in principle.)
A company's income statement reported net income of $80,000 during 2016. The income tax return excluded a revenue item of $6,000 (reported on the income statement) because under the tax laws the $6,000 would not be reported for tax purposes until 2017. Which of the following statements is incorrect assuming a 21% tax rate?
a. Income tax expense on the income statement exceeds the tax liability to the IRS.
b. The $6,000 of revenue creates a deferred tax liability.
c. A $2,100 deferred tax liability is reported as of December 31, 2014.
d. Income tax expense on the income statement is $25,900.
Answer:
d. Income tax expense on the income statement is $25,900.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the statements that is incorrect assuming a 21% tax rate
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Using this formula
Income tax expense=Net income*Tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Income tax expense=$80,000*.21
Income tax expense=$16,800
Based on the above calculationThe income tax expense ($80,000 × .21) on the income statement is $16,800
Therefore the statements that is incorrect assuming a 21% tax rate is
INCOME TAX EXPENSE ON THE INCOME STATEMENT is $25,900

What is the markup percentage for the company's product? (Round the answer to two decimal places.)
a 30.30%
b 43.50%
c 40.00%
d 35.60%
Answer:
b 43.50%
Explanation:
Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Manufacturing Cost
Product Cost = 40,000*($7.00 + $11.00 + $3.00) + $80,000
Product Cost = 40,000*$21 + $80,000
Product Cost = $840,000 + $80,000
Product Cost = $920,000
Markup = Total Selling and Administrative Expenses + Desired Profit
Markup = $2.00*40,000 + $140,000 + $1,200,000*15%
Markup = $80,000 + $140,000 + $180,000
Markup = $400,000
Markup percentage = Markup / Product Cost * 100
Markup percentage = $400,000 / $920,000 * 100
Markup percentage = 0.434783 * 100
Markup percentage = 43.47%
Suppose that in a given month $51 million is deposited into the banking system while $55 million is withdrawn. Also suppose that the Fed has set the reserve requirement at 25 percent and that banks have no excess reserves at the beginning of the month. What is the maximum amount of new checkable-deposit money that can be created (or removed) by the banking system as a result of these deposits and withdrawals?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the maximum amount of new checkable deposit money is given below:
The Net impact represent the decrease in the reserves by
= $55 million - $51 million
= $4 million
Now the
Multiplier = 1 ÷ Reserve requirement
= 1 ÷ 25%
= 4
Now Decrease in money supply is
= $4 million × 4
= -$16 million
