Debit Bad Debts Expense [($420,000 x 1%) – $1,500] $2,700
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $2,700
(b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $800 instead of a credit balance of $1,500, determine the amount to be reported for bad debt expense
Bad debt expense = $4200 + $800 = $5000
Aziz company sells two types of products, Baste and Deluxe . The company provides technical support for users of its products at an expected cost of $150,000 per year. The company expects to process 10,000 customer service calls per year.
Required:
1. Determine the company's cost of technical support per customer service call.
2. During the month of January Aziz received 520 calls for customer service on its deluxe model and 220 calls for customer service on its basic model. Assign technical support costs to each model using activity based costing (ABC).
Answer:
1.$25
2. Deluxe $13,000
Basic $5,500
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the company's cost of technical support per customer service call.
Using this formula
Cost of technical support per customer service call = Expected cost / Expected customer service call
Let plug in the formula
Cost of technical support per customer service call = $150,000 / 10,000
Cost of technical support per customer service call = $25 per customer service call
Therefore the company's cost of technical support per customer service call is $25 per customer service call
2. Calculation to Assign technical support costs to each model using activity based costing
Model Activity Rate (a) Cost driver quantity incurred (b) Allocated Cost (a*b)
Deluxe $25 *520calls = $13,000
Basic $25* 220 calls = $5,500
Therefore the technical support costs assign to each model using activity based costing (ABC) is:
Deluxe $13,000
Basic $5,500
Pet Supply purchased some fixed assets two years ago at a cost of $43,800. It no longer needs these assets so it is going to sell them today for $32,500. The assets are classified as five-year property for MACRS. The MACRS rates are 20%, 32% 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%, for years 1 to 6, respectively. What is the net cash flow (A-T Salvage Value) from this sale if the firm's tax rate is 35 percent
Answer:
$28,483.4
Explanation:
The computation of the net cash flow is shown below;
Asset cost $43,800
MACRS Rate 0.2 0.32
8760 14016
So total depreciation is
= $8,760 + $14,016
= $22,776
Now
Book Value of the company is
= oriignal value - depreication
= $43,800 - $22,776
= $21,024
And,
Sale price = 32500
So,
Gain is
= $32,500 - $21,024
= $11,476
So,
Tax = 0.35% of 11476
= $4,016
And, finally
Net cashflows is
= Sale price - tax
= $28,483.4
Answer:
The correct solution is "28483".
Explanation:
According to the question,
Given:
Sales price,
= 32500
MARCS rates,
= [tex]43800\times 0.2[/tex]
= [tex]8760[/tex]
Or,
= [tex]43800\times 0.32[/tex]
= [tex]14016[/tex]
Now,
The total depreciation will be:
= [tex]8760+14016[/tex]
= [tex]22776[/tex]
The company's book value will be:
= [tex]Original \ value-Depreciation[/tex]
= [tex]43800-22776[/tex]
= [tex]21024[/tex]
Gain will be:
= [tex]32500-21024[/tex]
= [tex]11476[/tex]
Tax,
= [tex]35\times 11476[/tex]
= [tex]4016[/tex]
hence,
The net cashflows will be:
= [tex]Sale \ price-Tax[/tex]
= [tex]32500-4016[/tex]
= [tex]28483[/tex]
You purchased a 20-year par value bond with semiannual coupons at a nominal annual rate of 8% convertible semiannually at a price of 1722.25. The bond can be called at par value X on any coupon date starting at the end of year 15 after the coupon is paid. The price guarantees that you will receive a nominal annual rate of interest convertible semiannually of at least 6%. Calculate X.
a. 1400
b. 1420
c. 1440
d. 1400
e. 1480
Answer:
1400
Explanation:
The concept par value bond refers to a bond that may be redeemed for its face value. From the coupon nominal annual rate of 8%, it means the coupon is 4% for half of the year is higher than the effective yield of 3% for 6 month period. As such, the bond sells at a higher premium price.
As a result, the minimum yield rate that contributes to the potential of the bond being called is computed at the initial conceivable call date, which is precisely 15 years after the date of purchase, because it is the most unfavorable period for the bondholder if the call occurs. As a result, the par value X fulfills the following condition:
[tex]1722.25 = 0.04*X*a_{|30|3\%|}+\dfrac{X}{1.03^{30}}[/tex]
Making X the subject:
[tex]X = \dfrac{1722.25}{0.04*a_{|30|3\%|}+1.03^{-30}}[/tex]
Using financial Calculator:
X = 1400.01
X ≅ 1400
A service provided by a business to the final user is known as:
consideration.
investments.
implied warranty.
economic services.
capital goods.
Answer:
economic services.
Explanation:
An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.
Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.
Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;
I. Mixed economy.
II. Free market economy.
III. Traditional economy.
IV. Command economy.
A service provided by a business to the final user is known as economic services.
Basically, economic services are considered to be intangible, inconsistent and perishable in nature. Thus, some examples of economic services are banking, hospitality, transportation, telecommunication, marketing, legal, rentals, insurance, security, public relations, etc.
Even though most corporate bonds in the united states make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. suppose a german company issues a bond with a par value of 1000 euros, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 5.8 percent paid annually.
Required:
If the yield to maturity is 7.5 percent, what is the current price of the bond?
Answer:
Bond Price= 816.29
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
YTM= 0.075
Coupon= 0.058*1,000= 58
Years to maturity= 23 years
Face value= 1,000
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 58*{[1 - (1.075^-23)] / 0.075} + [1,000/(1.075^23)]
Bond Price= 626.79 + 189.5
Bond Price= 816.29
A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 7.3%, and sells for $1,170. Interest is paid annually.a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your anser to nearest whole number.)b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answerSlightly less than your part b answerd. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
a. Price 1 year later = $810
b. Annual rate of return on the bond = -24.53%
c. Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.
d. Annual real rate of return on the bond = -26.73%
Explanation:
a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Price 1 year later = Coupon rate * Par value / Yield to maturity * (1 - 1 / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity) + Par value / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity = 7.3% * 1000 / 10.7% * (1 - 1 / (100% + 10.7%)^9) + 1000 / (100% + 10.7%)^9 = $810
b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (810 + 7.3% * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.53%
c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answer Slightly less than your part b answer
This can be determined as follows:
Price 1 year later = (Coupon rate / 2) * Par value / (Yield to maturity / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2)) + Par value / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2) = (7.3% / 2) * 1000 / (10.7% / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2)) + 1000 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2) = $807
Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (807 + (7.3% / 2) * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.79%
Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.
d. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual real rate of return on the bond = (1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation)-1 = (1 - 24.53%) / (1 +3 %) - 1 = -26.73%
A company had net sales of $30,200 and ending accounts receivable of $4,000 for the current period. Its days' sales uncollected equals:_________ (Use 365 days a year.)a) 7.55 days.b) 59.54 days.c) 63.64 days.d) 48.34 days.e) 40.34 days.
Answer:
d) 48.34 days
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Its days' sales uncollected equals
Using this formula
Days' sales uncollected=Ending accounts receivable÷Net sales *365 days
Let plug in the formula
Days' sales uncollected=$4,000÷$30,200*365 days
Days' sales uncollected=48.34 days
Therefore Its days' sales uncollected equals:48.34 days
Consider adopting a cost-reducing technology that lowers annual production costs by $1000 per year (into perpetuity, starting in year 1). If your opportunity cost of time is captured by a discount rate of 5%, what is the present) value of adopting the technology?
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Present Value of Perpetuity = Annuity / ( Interest rate-Growth rate). Where Annuity=1000, Interest rate=5%, Growth rate=0
Present Value of Perpetuity = $1,000/(0.05-0)
Present Value of Perpetuity = $1,000/0.05
Present Value of Perpetuity = $20,000
So, the present) value of adopting the technology is $20,000.

Lisa Carson has the opportunity to receive $12,000 now or $15,000 in four years. If Lisa can earn 6 percent on her investments, what is the present value of the $15,000 payment?
Answer:
$11881.4
Explanation:
Given :
Future value, FV = $15,000
Interest rate, r = 6%
Period, n = 4 years
Using the Present Value formula :
PV = FV(1 ÷ (1 + r)^n)
15000(1 ÷ (1 + r)^n)
15000(1 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^4)
15000(1 ÷ 1.06^4)
15000(1 ÷ 1.26247696)
15000(0.7920936)
= $11,881.4
A flexible-budget variance is $800 favorable for unit-related costs. This indicates that costs were: _____________
a. $800 more than the master budget
b. $800 less than for the planned level of activity
c. $800 more than standard for the achieved level of activity
d. $800 less than standard for the achieved level of activity
Answer: $800 less than standard for the achieved level of activity
Explanation:
A flexible budget variance refers to the difference that occurs between the results that are gotten by a flexible budget model and the actual results gotten.
Since the flexible-budget variance is $800 favorable for unit-related costs, this indicates that costs were $800 less than standard for the achieved level of activity.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

Having titles like chief executive officer (CEO), president, chairperson, and director general, these managers report directly to the board of directors. These managers are responsible for guiding and coaching the employees who actually do the work of the organization Level Middle managers Top managers First-line managers
Answer:
a. A Team leader would be a group facilitator.
Team leaders are meant to coordinate the activities of small groups in a company to achieve certain short term targets. They are therefore most suited to be group facilitators.
b.
Project managers and others who bring people together from various parts of the organization to perform a task are in this layer of management. ⇒ MIDDLE MANAGERS
Middle level managers are in charge of departments and divisions and have the goal of achieving the mandate set by the Top management. They do so by bringing together various parts of the organization under a division and work to achieve the set goals.
Having titles like chief executive officer (CEO), president, chairperson, and director general, these managers report directly to the board of directors. ⇒ TOP LEVEL MANAGERS
Top level managers sit on top of the hierarchy of the entire organization and report directly to the Board of Directors. They include positions like the CEO, President, CFO, Director-General, etc. They set the overall strategic goals of the company.
These managers are responsible for guiding and coaching the employees who actually do the work of the organization ⇒ FIRST-LINE MANAGERS.
First-line managers are the closest to the employees and so supervise them to carry out the goals passed onto them by first level managers. They include positions like office managers and plant supervisors.
The Menswear Department of Major's Department Store had sales of $198,000, cost of goods sold of $137,500, indirect expenses of $14,250, and direct expenses of $28,500 for the current period. The Menswear Department's contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is:
Answer:
the contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is 16.16%
Explanation:
The computation of the contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is given below;
Sales $198,000
Less: Cost of goods sold $137,500
Less: Direct Expenses $28,500
Contribution $32,000
Now the percentage should be

Logen Construction builds standard prefabricated wooden frames for walls. Each frame requires five direct labor hours and the standard hourly direct labor rate is $18. During July, the company produced 670 frames and worked 3,310 direct labor hours. Payroll records indicate that workers earned $60,407.50.
a. What were the standard hours for July production?
hours
b. What was the actual hourly wage rate? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per hour
c. Calculate the direct labor variances. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
Labor Rate Variance $
Labor Efficiency Variance $
Total Labor Variance $
Answer:
Logen Construction
a. Standard hours for July Production = 3,350
b. Actual hourly wage rate = $18.25
c. Direct labor variances:
i. Labor Rate Variance = $827.50 U
ii. Labor Efficiency Variance = $720 F
iii. Total Labor Variance = $107.50 U
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Direct labor hours per frame = 5 hours
Standard hourly labor rate = $18
Standard direct labor cost per frame = $90 ($18 * 5)
Number of frames produced in July = 670
Actual direct labor hours = 3,310
Actual wages earned by workers = $60,407.50
a. Standard hours for July Production = Actual production unit multiplied by standard hours per unit
= 3,350 (670 * 5) hours
b. Actual hourly wage rate = Actual direct labor cost divided by actual direct labor hours
= $18.25 ($60,407.50/3,310)
c. Direct labor variances:
i. Labor Rate Variance = Standard direct labor rate - Actual direct labor rate * Actual direct labor hours
= $827.50 U ($18 - $18.25) * 3,310
ii. Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard direct labor hours - Actual direct labor hours * Standard Direct Labor Rate
= $720 F (3,350 - 3,310) * $18
iii. Total Labor Variance = Standard Direct Labor Cost - Actual Direct Labor Cost
= $107.50 U ($60,300 - $60,407.50)
Total assets were $78,000 and total liabilities were $42,000 at the beginning of the year. Net income for the year was $15,500, and dividends of $5,000 were declared and paid during the year.
Required:
Calculate total stockholders' equity at the end of the year.
Answer:
$46,500
Explanation:
Accounting equation is stated as :
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
therefore,
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Equity at Beginning of the Period :
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
= $78,000 - $42,000
= $36,000
Equity at end of the Period
Closing Equity Balance = Opening Balance + Net Income - Dividends
= $36,000 + $15,500 - $5,000
= $46,500
Suppose that the price of apples increases by 10%. Within a short amount of time, apple producers are able to increase the quantity of apples supplied by 2%. The higher price has made it worthwhile to use extra labor to reduce waste and spoilage. Is this short run adjustment showing elastic or inelastic supply? Explain.
Answer:
inelastic
Price elasticity of supply = 2% / 10% = 0.2
the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1. this means that supply is inelastic. the percentage increase in quantity supplied is less than the percentage increase in price
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.
Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
supply is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity supplied.
vThe profit for a product is increasing at a rate of $5600 per week. The demand and cost functions for the product are given by p = 6000 − 25x and C = 2400x + 5200, where x is the number of units produced per week. Find the rate of change of the sales with respect to Larson, Ron. Algebra and Trigonometry (p. 158). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
4 units per week
Explanation:
Calculation to Find the rate of change of sales
First step
dP/dt=5600
Second step
Since the revenue is the product of demand and sales
Hence,
R(x)=px
=(6000-25x)x
=6000x-25x²
Third step is to determine the profit which is the difference of revenue and cost.
Hence,
P(x)=R(x)-C(x)
=6000x-25x²-(2400x+ 5200)
=6000x- 25x² -2400x-5200
=3600x-25x²-5200
Fourth step is to Differentiate the profit with respect to time
dP/dt=3600 dx/dt- 50 dx/dt-0
=50(3600/50-x) dx/dt
=50(72-x) dx/dt
Now let Find the rate of change of sales when dP/dt=5600 and x =44
5600=50(72-44) dx/dt
5600=50(28) dx/dt
5600=1400 dx/dt
dx/dt=5600/1400
dx/dt= 4 units per week
Therefore the rate of change of sales is 4 units per week
