On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.

2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 8, 2012:

Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000

Cost of painting the truck =         4,000

Cost of replacing the tires =        2,500

Cost of overhauling the engine  8,000

Total costs =                            $79,500

Residual value =                          6,000

Depreciable amount =           $73,500

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Straight-line depreciation Method:

Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)

Units-of-production Method:

Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)

For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)

For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)

Double-declining-balance method:

Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%

First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)

Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)

Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)

Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)

Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)

Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)

Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)

Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)

Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)

A tenant occupying 20,000 square feet in your building has two years remaining on their lease. You have a good relationship with this tenant and you assess the probability that they will renew their lease at 75%. If your tenant renews the lease, they will pay $15/sf in rent. If the tenant vacates, you expect that a new tenant will pay $18/sf. What is the gross rental income you expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires

Answers

Answer: $315000

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, the gross rental income that one will expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires goes thus:

= [(75% x 15) + (25% x 18)] x 20,000

= [(0.75 × 15) + (0.25 × 18)] × 20000

= (11.25 + 4.5) × 20000

= 15.75 × 20000

= 315,000

Therefore, the gross rental income is $315000

Whispering Company is planning to produce 1,100 units of product in 2020. Each unit requires 2.60 pounds of materials at $4.80 per pound and a half-hour of labor at $14.00 per hour. The overhead rate is 90% of direct labor. (a) Compute the budgeted amounts for 2020 for direct materials to be used, direct labor, and applied overhead. Direct materials $ Direct labor $ Overhead $ (b) Compute the standard cost of one unit of product. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Standard cost $

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The answer to question (a) goes thus:

Direct materials will be:

= (1,100 × $2.60) × $4.80

= $13,728

Direct labor will be:

= (1,100 × 1/2) × $14.00

= $7,700

Overhead will be:

= $7,700 × 90%

= $7700 × 0.9

= $6,930

b. The standard cost of one unit of product will be calculated as follows:

Direct materials = ($2.60 × $4.80) = $12.48

Add: Direct labor (1/2 × $14.00) = $7.00

Add: Overhead = ($7.00 × 90%) = $6.30

Standard cost = $12.48 + $7.00 + $6.30 = $25.78

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The matching is as follows

1. In the absorption costing, the gross profit is on the income statement

2. The variable cost provided the useful report with respect for controlling cost

3. The fixed selling cost be the period cost in both the absorption & variable costing

4. In absorption costing, it required by GAAP

In this way it should be matched

A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $105,000 and has $55,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $83,000. The old machine could be sold for $56,300. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $8,500 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $5,000 per year for eight years.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?

Answers

Answer:

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine.

Explanation:

Differential Analysis

Purchase cost of the new machine                                 (83,000)

Savings from annual variable cost(8500×8)                   68,000

Variable cost of running the new machine (5,000×8)   (40,000)

Scrap value of the old machine                                        56,300  

Differential savings                                                            1,300  

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine. It is a past cost incurred as a result old decision.

The board of directors of Swifty Corporation declared a cash dividend of $2.75 per share on 40000 shares of common stock on July 15, 2020. The dividend is to be paid on August 15, 2020, to stockholders of record on July 31, 2020. The effects of the journal entry to record the payment of the dividend on August 15, 2020, are to increase stockholders’ equity and decrease assets. decrease liabilities and decrease assets. increase stockholders’ equity and increase liabilities. decrease stockholders’ equity and decrease liabilities.

Answers

Answer:

a. Decrease liabilities and decrease assets

Explanation:

First option "Decrease liabilities and decrease assets" is the correct option as far as only payment part of Journal entry is concerned.

Since Dividend is declared on 15 July on That date entry would have been:

Shareholder's Equity........Dr

To Dividend Payable(Liability) A/c......Cr

Then, on Payment date i.e. 15 august entry would be:

Dividend Payable(Liability)A/c.......Dr

To cash/Bank A/c..........Cr

Therefore, Liability is Decrease also asset is decreased on 15th August, 2020.

Assume a central bank follows a rule that requires it to take steps to keep the price level constant. If the long run price level fell because of a decrease in aggregate demand and a subsequent increase in short run aggregate supply that kept output unchanged, then Question 5 options: a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output. b) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would decrease output. c) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would increase output. d) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would increase output.

Answers

Answer:

a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output.

Explanation:

In the case when the long run price would fall due to the reduction in the aggregate demand and there is a rise of short run aggregate supply so the central bank would have to reduce the money supply due to this it automatically reduced the output as it shows the direct relation between the money supply and the output

Therefore the correct option is a.

Medical clinic office: Medical case files of deceased patients. Which transfer method? explain your decision?

Answers

Answer: Perpetual

Explanation:

It is best to use the perpetual transfer method because the medical case files on deceased patient should be transferred immediately seeing as the patient is no longer alive.

Using a periodic transfer method would mean that files are only transferred at certain times even though the patient may have been deceased for some time.

Direct labor or machine hours may not be the appropriate cost driver for overhead in all areas of manufacturing due to the complexities of many manufacturing processes. Many companies use activity-based costing (ABC) which uses multiple drivers (items that consume resources) rather than just one driver to apply overhead to their activities. With ABC, a company can use a cost driver that has a direct cause/effect relationship in its applied overhead costs.
Waterways looked into ABC as a method of costing because of the variety of items it produces and the many different activities in which it is involved. The activities listed below area sample of possible cost pools for Waterways.

Sunland Company received proceeds of $664000 on 10-year, 6% bonds issued on January 1, 2019. The bonds had a face value of $704000, pay interest annually on December 31, and have a call price of 105. Sunland uses the straight-line method of amortization. What is the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020

Answers

Answer:

$46,240

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020

Interest expense=($704,000 × .06)+[($704000-$664000)/10]

Interest expense= $42,240+($40,000/10)

Interest expense=$42,240+$4,000

Interest expense=$46,240

Therefore the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $46,240

You are thinking about the things that can go wrong on your trip home over the Thanksgiving break. You have booked a flight with US-Scareways. You know that in 38% of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on. Should such a thing occur, there would be no other air travel option home for you. As a backup, your friend Walter has offered you a ride back. However, you know that Walter only has a seat in his car for you with 72% probability. What is the probability of you making it home for the holidays?

Answers

Answer:

The probability of you making it home for the holidays is:

= 45%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Probability of Scareways flights being canceled = 38%

Probability of successfully traveling with Scareways = 62% (100 - 38%)

Probability of getting a seat in Walter's car = 72%

Therefore, the probability of making it home for the holidays = the combined probabilities (either Scareways flight or Walter's car)

= 62% * 72%

= 0.62 * 0.72

= 0.4464

= 45%

You got asked to analyze a 5 year project for your firm. The project produces an annual revenue of $28,500, but requires an annual labor and materials cost of $5,000. To initiate the project your firm must invest $20,000. The salvage value of the project is $5,000 and has a 5 year useful life.
Use straight line depreciation and a 40% income tax rate to compute the after tax cash flows and the IRR for the ATCF of this project.

Answers

Answer:

15,300

72.70%

Explanation:

After tax cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($20,000 - $5,000) / 5 = $3,000

($28,500 - $5,000 - $3000) x (1 - 0.4) + $3000 = $15,300

Terminal year cash flow = after tax cash flow + salvage value

$15,300 + $5,000 = $20,300

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $20,000.

Cash flow in year 1 - 4= $15,300

Cash flow in year 5 = $20,300

IRR = 72.70%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Two years ago, you purchased 100 shares of General Mills Corporation. Your purchase price was $53 a share, plus a total commission of $34 to purchase the stock. During the last two years, you have received the following dividend amounts: $1.90 per share for the first year and $2.03 per share the second year. Also, assume that at the end of two years, you sold your General Mills stock for $59 a share minus a total commission of $41 to sell the stock.

Required:
a. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you purchased it.
b. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you sold it.
c. Calculate the total return for your General Mills investment when you sold the stock at the end of two years.
d. Calculate the annualized holding period yield for your General Mills investment at the end of the two-year period.

Answers

Answer:

Purchase Price $53 * 100 = $5300

Commission =                       $53  

Total Cost                              $5353

D1 = $1.90 * 100 = 190

D2 = $2.03 * 100 = 203

Sale value of shares $59*100 $5900

Less: Commission                    $41    

Net sale value                          $5859

a. Dividend yield at the time of purchase:

= D1/P0

= $1.90/$53

= 3.59%

b. Dividend yield at the time of sale:

= D2/P1

= $2.03/$41

= 4.95%

c. Total Return for 2 years = $5859 + $190 + $203 - $5353

Total Return for 2 years = $899

d. Annualized holding period yield = ($899/$5353) * 1/2

Annualized holding period yield = 0.0839716

Annualized holding period yield = 8.40%

The operating revenues of the three largest business segments for Time Warner, Inc., for a recent year follow. Each segment includes a number of businesses, examples of which are indicated in parentheses.

Turner 22%
Home Box Office 47%
Warner Bros. 32%

b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Segment Revenues

(in millions)

Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700

Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200

Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600

Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:

Turner 22%

Home Box Office 47%

Warner Bros. 32%

b) The contribution margin ratio for the three segments can easily be determined by subtracting the variable costs percentages from 100 for each segment instead of doing more computations (Contribution margin/Sales Revenue * 100).  But the results are the same for either method.

d. commercialize

Answers

Answer:

a. test market

Explanation:

The test market consists of a strategy used by organizations to assess how consumers will be receptive to a new product or service launched. In this step, companies select a group of consumers or a specific region with a profile aligned with the new product, to feel the reaction of the market, and then be able to distribute the product on a large scale. After defining the target audience of the test market, the companies monitor the promotion and distribution strategies, carrying out a kind of test to verify the errors and successes of the marketing campaign and the possibilities of the insertion of the new product in the mass market to be successful .

This is an advantageous strategy for companies, due to the lower cost associated with a large-scale launch, the monitoring of high risks, and the possibility of feeling the market, making corrections and checking the demand for the product.

Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate

Answers

Answer:

6.46%

Explanation:

Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job

Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job

Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)

Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F

Where F =  (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%

Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%
