Balance as per cash account adjusted $112,933
add uncredited deposits 11,317
less Outstanding checks -41,750
Balance as per bank statement $82,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash account debit balance = $95,250
Bank statement balance = $82,500
Outstanding checks = $11,317
Credit memorandum $18,000
Collection fee $45
Check 1115 for Rent Expense of $1,350 transposed as $1,050 = $300 ($1,350 - $1050)
Uncredited deposits = $41,750
Interest earned = $28
Cash Account Adjustment:
Cash account debit balance $95,250
Debit:
Credit memorandum 18,000
Interest earned 28
Credit:
Collection fee -45
Rent Expense (understated) -300
Adjusted cash account balance $112,933
b) The bank reconciliation statement above was prepared after adjusting the cash account with items that were recorded by the bank but not recorded by Cole Co. and other misstatements. With the adjusted cash account balance, the bank reconciliation was then carried out with the items that were not recorded by the bank. The resulting figure should agree with the bank statement balance.
Suppose you bought 1,100 shares of stock at an initial price of $46 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $.46 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41. a. Compute your total dollar return on this investment
Answer:
$-4994
Explanation:
Total dollar return = number of stocks bought x (dividend return + price return)
price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price
Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned
price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year
$41 - $46 = $-5
1100 x ($-5 + $0.46) = $-4994

Quantities on hand at the end of one month may not be sufficient to last until the next month's count. If the company has taken this into account in establishing reorder levels, then it is very possible that the company carrying too large an investment in inventory which can be costly.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The correct option is - True
Reason -
When the company is considering the quantities in stock available at the end of the month in duly setting their reorder level that indicates it creates buffer stock in company's account and not following just-in-time model, whereby the quantity being ordered when there is demand for the same.
Hereby the investment cost occurred while maintaining the inventory will be higher as comparison to just-in-time inventory model as the money is blocked in the inventory and it will be recovered only when the inventory being sold.
Suppose you expect Longs Drug Stores to pay an annual dividend of $2 per share in the coming year and to trade $40 per share at the end of the year. If investments with equivalent risk to Longs' stock have an expected return of 6%, what is the most you would pay today for Longs' stock
Answer:
$39.62
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what is the most you would pay today for Longs' stock
Using this formula
P0=Div1+P1/1+rE
Let plug in the formula
P0=$2+$40/(1+.06)

You are called by Tim Duncan of Spurs Co. on July 16 and asked to prepare a claim for insurance as a result of a theft that took place the night before. You suggest that an inventory be taken immediately. The following data are available.
Inventory, July 1 $41,010
Purchases-goods placed in stock July 1-15 90,490
Sales revenue-goods delivered to customers (gross) $119,400
Sales returns-goods returned to stock $3,960
Your client reports that the goods on hand on July 16 cost $33,210, but you determine that this figure includes goods of $7,170 received on a consignment basis. Your past records show that sales are made at approximately 40% over cost. Duncan's insurance covers only goods owned.
Compute the claim against the insurance company.
Answer:
$23,003
Explanation:
Computation for the claim against the insurance company.
Using this formula
Claim against insurance company = Total cost of goods available for sales - Cost of goods sold - Owned inventory on hand on July 16
Let plug in the formula
Claim against insurance company= ($41,010 + 90,490) - [($119,400 - $3,960)*100/140)] - ($33,210- $7,170)
Claim against insurance company= $131,500 - $82,457 - $26,040
Claim against insurance company= $23,003
Therefore the claim against the insurance company is $23,003

Explanation:
Grey Corp owns 100% of Blue Company. On January 1, 2017 Grey sold Blue a machine for $66,000. Immediately prior to the sale, the machine was recorded on Grey's books at a net book value of $25,000. Prior to the sale, Grey was depreciating the machine on a straight-line basis with 9 years of remaining life and no salvage value. Blue plans to adopt the same depreciation assumptions as Grey. What elimination adjustments with respect to this sale must be made to consolidated net income in 2018 (ignoring income tax effects)
Answer:
Journal 1 - Eliminate gain on sale :
Debit : Other Income ($66,000 - $25,000) $41,000
Credit : Machinery $41,000
Journal 2 - Eliminate the unrealized profit from the sale :
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $4,556
Credit : Depreciation $4,556
Explanation:
Grey Corp and Blue Company are in a group of Companies. Grey Corp is the Parent and should prepare Consolidated Financial Statements . Blue Company is a subsidiary (Grey owns more that 50 % of voting rights in Blue Company).
When preparing Consolidated Financial Statements, intragroup transaction must be eliminated. As they happen, a Company trades within its-self that is the reason they should be eliminated.
Concerning the sale of machine by Grey (Parent) to Blue (Subsidiary), we must first eliminate the Income (gain on sale) in Parent as well as the asset that sits in the Subsidiary.
Debit : Other Income ($66,000 - $25,000) $41,000
Credit : Machinery $41,000
Also, we have to eliminate the unrealized profit on the gain of the asset sold.
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $4,556
Credit : Depreciation $4,556
Deprecation calculation :
Deprecation = $41,000 ÷ 9 = $4,556
Krepps Corporation produces a single product. Last year, Krepps manufactured 20,000 units and sold 15,000 units. Production costs for the year were as follows: Direct materials $170,000 Direct labor $110,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $200,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead $240,000 Sales totaled $825,000 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses totaled $108,000, and fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $165,000. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Under variable costing, the company's net operating income for the year would be:
Answer:
Under variable costing, the company's net operating income for the year would be $60,000 lower than under absorption costing.
Explanation:
The computation of the operating income under variable costing is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit is
= $240,000 ÷ 20,000 units
= $12 per unit
Ending Inventory units is
= 20,000 units - 15,000 units
= 5,000 units
Now Cost of ending Inventory deferred under absorption costing is
= 5,000 units × $12
= $60,000
So, the second option is correct

A loan of $400,000 is taken out which requires an annual interest payment of 4.4% of the borrowed amount of money (in market dollars). No principal payments are made, only interest is paid. Inflation is 3.8% per year. What will be the value of interest payment at the end of fourth year in real dollars?
Answer:
payment in real dollars 4 years later = $15,160.84
Explanation:
in current dollars, the interest payment = $400,000 x 4.4% = $17,600
if the inflation rate is 3.8% annual, the value of real dollars will increase by (1 + 3.8%)⁴ - 1 = 1.1609 - 1 = 16.09%
this means that we need to discount the nominal payment by $16.09%;
payment in real dollars 4 years later = $17,600 / (1 + 16.09%) = $15,160.84

Vaughn Company manufactures equipment. Vaughn’s products range from simple automated machinery to complex systems containing numerous components. Unit selling prices range from $200,000 to $1,500,000 and are quoted inclusive of installation. The installation process does not involve changes to the features of the equipment and does not require proprietary information about the equipment in order for the installed equipment to perform to specifications. Vaughn has the following arrangement with Winkerbean Inc.
Winkerbean purchases equipment from Vaughn for a price of $920,000 and contracts with Vaughn to install the equipment. Vaughn charges the same price for the equipment irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The cost of the equipment is $644,000.
Winkerbean is obligated to pay Vaughn the $920,000 upon the delivery and installation of the equipment. Vaughn delivers the equipment on June 1, 2020, and completes the installation of the equipment on September 30, 2020. The equipment has a useful life of 10 years. Assume that the equipment and the installation are two distinct performance obligations which should be accounted for separately.
Assuming Vaughn does not have market data with which to determine the standalone selling price of the installation services. As a result, an expected cost plus margin approach is used. The cost of installation is $35,700; Vaughn prices these services with a 30% margin relative to cost.
How should the transaction price of $920,000 be allocated among the service obligations?
Equipment $
Installation $
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The transaction price of $920,000 should be allocated among the service obligations as thus:
For Equipment:
= Fair value of equipment / Total fair value × Transaction price
= (920000 / (920000 + 276000) × 920000
= (920000 / 1196000) × 920000
= $707692
Installation:
= Fair value of installation / Total fair value × Transaction price
= 276000 / (920000 + 276000) × 920000
= (276000 / 1196000) × 920000
= $212308
Mervon Company has two operating departments: Mixing and Bottling. Mixing has 330 employees and Bottling has 220 employees. Indirect factory costs include administrative costs of $192,000. Administrative costs are allocated to operating departments based on the number of workers. Determine the administrative costs allocated to each operating department.
Answer:
Mixing= $115,199.7
Bottling= $76,799.8
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate for Administrative costs:
Allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Allocation rate= 192,000 / (330 + 220)
Allocation rate= $349.09 per employee
Now, we can allocate costs:
Mixing= 330*349.09= $115,199.7
Bottling= 220*349.09= $76,799.8

2018 $18.51 trillion $18.56 trillion
To calculate output gap in percentage form, the following formula is used:
Output gap = ((Real GDP - Potential GDP) / Potential GDP) * 100 ......... (1)
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the output gap for 2017. %
Using equation (1), we have:
Output gap for 2017 = ((18.05 - 18.17) / 18.17) * 100 = –0.66%
b. Calculate the output gap for 2018. %
Using equation (1), we have:
Output gap for 2018 = ((18.56 - 18.51) / 18.51) * 100 = 0.27%
c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more .
Since the output gap in 2017 is negative while the output gap in 2018 is positive; this implies that from 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more positive.
North Pole Toys needs to decide on their newest product line for Christmas. They narrowed their options to two possibilities: Product A would incur a fixed cost of $3,000 and a variable cost of $6 per unit and sells for $7.50; Product B would incur a fixed cost of $1,200 and a variable cost of $9 per unit and sells for $10.
A. What is the break-even point for each of the two products?
B. What is the point of indifference between the two products?
Answer:
A-1. Product A break-even point = 2,000 units
A.2. Product A break-even point = 1,200 units
B. Point of indifference between the two products = 600 units
Explanation:
A. What is the break-even point for each of the two products?
Break-even point which is the point at which the total cost of production of a product is equal to the total revenue of the product can be calculated using the following formula:
Break-even point = Fixed cost / (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ........ (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
A-1. Product A break-even point = $3,000 / ($7.50 - $6) = 2,000 units
A.2. Product A break-even point = $1,200 / ($10 - $9) = 1,200 units
B. What is the point of indifference between the two products?
Point of indifference between the two products which is the point at which the total costs of the two products are the same can be calculated as follows:
Differential fixed cost = Product A fixed cost - Product B fixed cost = $3,000 - $1,200 = $1,800
Differential variable cost per unit = Product B fixed cost variable cost per unit - Product A variable cost per unit = $9 - $6 = $3
Point of indifference between the two products = Differential fixed cost / Differential variable cost per unit = $1,800 / $3 = 600 units
Note: To obtain any of the two differentials, the lower must be deducted from the higher as done above.

The milestone book " Diffusion of Innovations" by sociologist Everett Rogers in 1962 originally sorted the adopter types premise on specific attributes as recorded beneath:
1) Innovators: These arrangement of individuals receive new innovation or product as they are recently dispatched. This arrangement of individuals are prepared to face challenges and they are the boldest. For this situation, some corporates may get intrigued to evaluate the Green Ride alternative to perceive how it tends to be utilized to save cost on the force front.
2) Early Adopters: This arrangement of individuals make trends and need to see them on the ball, subsequently they will become the early adopters. For this situation, individuals who are lethargic towards open-air exercises will get their hands on this bicycle as it is locally (home) established and be the early adopter of this product.
3) Early Majority: These arrangements of individuals settle on choices dependent on utilities and the useful benefits of the product. For this situation, everyone who is worried about the use and benefits of Green Ride will get input from Early Adopters and can continue likewise.
4) Late Majority: This arrangement of individuals imparts a few qualities to the Early Majority set of individuals yet they are generally careful prior to submission. For this situation, youngsters may not get intrigued to utilize a bicycle which is kept to Indoors as it were.
5) Laggards: These arrangements of individuals are delayed to adjust to new innovation or product. They will in general embrace just when they are constrained. For this situation, the arrangement of individuals who are customary bicycle clients won't be prepared to acknowledge this new product except if compelled to do as such because of the limited development during circumstances such as the present.
