A new bank offers you a 0% Intro APR on balance transfers. All transfers must be completed in first 4 months. After that the variable APR will be 24%, based on your credit score remaining above 650. If you transfer a balance with this offer, after your 0% Intro purchase APR expires, both new purchases and unpaid purchase balances will automatically accrue interest until all balances, including your transferred balance, are paid in full. You have transferred $600 to this account and paid half before the fourth month. You then charge $350 in the fifth month. What is your balance at the end of the fifth month if you have made no additional charges, payments or transfers?

On 4/1/Y9, Petal Corp. began offering a new product for sale under a 1-year warranty. Petal had 5,000 units in inventory on 4/1/Y9. By 6/30/Y9, 3,000 of these units had been sold. Based on its experience with similar products, Petal estimated that the average warranty cost per unit sold would be $8. Actual warranty costs incurred from April 1 through June 30, Year 9, were $7,000.
Required:
1. What amount should Petal report as estimated warranty liability at June 30, Year 9?
Answer:
$17,000
Explanation:
Units sold = 3,000 units
Expected warranty = 3,000 * $8 = $24,000
Actual warranty costs = $7,000
Estimated warranty liability = $24,000 - $7,000 = $17,000
Therefore, Petal should report $17,000 as estimated warranty liability at June 30, Year 9.
1. Izzy Company sells a television that carries a 90-day unconditional warranty against product failure. From prior years’ experience, Izzy estimates that 4% of units sold each period will require repair at an average cost of $150 per unit. During the current period, Izzy sold 22,000 units and repaired 200 units.How much warranty expense must Izzy report in its current period income statement? 138,000 132,000 102,000 30,000 1
Answer:
$132,000
Explanation:
The computation of the warranty expense is shown below:
Warranty expense = Units sold × repaired cost × estimated percentage
= 22,000 units × $150 × 4%
= $132,000
We simply multiplied the unit sold with the repaired cost and the estimated percentage so that the amount of warranty expense could come

Under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method, a price index for inventory must be established for tax purposes. The quantity weights are based on year-ending inventory levels. Unit Price ($) Product Ending Inventory Beginning Ending A 500 0.17 0.21 B 50 1.40 1.80 C 100 4.50 4.20 D 40 12.00 13.20 Use the beginning-of-the-year price per unit as the base-period price and develop a weighted aggregate index for the total inventory value at the end of the year. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) I
Answer:
105.35
Explanation:
The computation of Laspeyres Index is shown below:-
Laspeyres Index = 100 × (Sum(Ending × Ending Inventory) ÷ Sum(Beginning × Ending Inventory))
= 100 × ((500 × 0.21) + (50 × 1.80) + (100 × 4.20) + (40 × 13.20)) ÷ ((500 × 0.17) + (50 × 1.40) + (100 × 4.50) + (40 × 12)
= 100 × (105 + 90 + 420 + 528) ÷ (85 + 70 + 450 + 480)
= 100 × 1,143 ÷ 1,085
= 100 × 1.053
= 105.35
So, for computing the Laspeyres Index we simply applied the above formula.

Answer:
$38,768
Explanation:
January Purchases:
$27,600
January Payments:
15% of $27,600 = $4,140
February Purchases:
$29,400
February Payments:
15% of $29,400 = $4,410
35% of $27,600 = $9,660
Total February Payments = $4,410 + $9,660 = $14,070
March Purchases:
$28,500
March Payments:
15% of $28,500 = $4,275
35% of $29,400 = $10,290
50% of $27,600 = $13,800
Total March Payments = $4,275 + $10,290 + $13,800 = $28,365
April Purchases:
$30,480
April Payments:
15% of $30,480 = $4,572
35% of $28,500 = $9,975
50% of $29,400 = $14,700
Total April Payments = $4,572 + $9,975 + $14,700 = $29,247
May Purchases:
$27,680
May Payments:
15% of $27,680 = $4,152
35% of $30,480 = $10,668
50% of $28,500 = $14,250
Total May Payments = $4,152 + $10,668 + $14,250 = $29,070
Total Purchases = $27,600 + $29,400 + $28,500 + $30,480 + $27,680
Total Purchases = $143,660
Total Payments = $4,140 + $14,070 + $28,365 + $29,247 + $29,070
Total Payments = $104,892
Accounts Payable = Total Purchases - Total Payments
Accounts Payable = $143,660 - $104,892
Accounts Payable = $38,768
An outside supplier has offered to sell motors to RGM for $52 per motor. If RGM stops making the motors, 1/4 of the fixed manufacturing overhead would be avoidable. In addition, the facilities being used to make motors could be rented to another company for $40,000 per year. If RGM purchases the motors from the supplier, by how much will net income change?
Answer:
net income will decrease by $60,000
Explanation:
current costs:
direct materials = $20direct labor = $18variable manufacturing overhead = $10fixed manufacturing overhead = $8total cost per unit = $56total production costs = $56 x 50,000 = $2,800,000relevant costs if product is purchased form external supplier:
purchase price per unit = $52 x 50,000 = $2,600,000fixed manufacturing overhead = $8 x 3/4 x 50,000 = $300,000- lease of facilities = ($40,000)total relevant costs if product is purchased = $2,860,000Since the relevant costs of purchasing the product are $60,000 higher, net income would decrease by that amount.
Jordan Company produces basketballs and uses a standard costing system. Budgeted fixed overhead was $296,000. Rent changed during the year, causing actual fixed overhead to be $274,000.

Allure Company manufactures and distributes two products, M and XY. Overhead costs are currently allocated using the number of units produced as the allocation base. The controller has recommended changing to an activity-based costing (ABC) system. She has collected the following information: Activity Cost Driver Amount M XY Production setups Number of setups $ 82,000 8 12 Material handling Number of parts 48,000 56 24 Packaging costs Number of units 130,000 80,000 50,000 $ 260,000 What is the total overhead allocated to Product XY using the current system
Answer:
$113,600
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:-
Particular Activity cost driver Amount Product M Product XY Total
Production setup No. of prod. $82,000 8 12 20
Material handling No. of parts $48,000 56 24 80
Packaging costs No. of units $1,30,000 80,000 50,000 130,000
$2,60,000
Allocation to Product XY
Production Set up = Production Set up Amount ÷ Number of Total Production Set up × Number of Product XY Setup
= $82,000 ÷ 20 × 12
= $49,200
Material Handling = $48,000 ÷ 80 × 24 = $14,400
Packaging Costs = $130,000 ÷ 130,000 × 50,000 = $50,000
Total overhead = Production Set up + Material Handling + Packaging Costs
= $49,200 + $14,400 + $50,000
= $113,600
Crane Company purchases Cullumber Company for $2390000 cash on January 1, 2021. The book value of Cullumber Company’s net assets, as reflected on its December 31, 2020 balance sheet is $1851000. An analysis by Crane on December 31, 2020 indicates that the fair value of Cullumber’s tangible assets exceeded the book value by $178500, and the fair value of identifiable intangible assets exceeded book value by $134000. How much goodwill should be recognized by Crane Company when recording the purchase of Cullumber Company? $539000 $360500 $226500 $0
Answer:
$226,500
Explanation:
The computation of the goodwill is shown below:
Goodwill = cash paid - book value of net assets - tangible assets exceeded the book value - fair value of identifiable intangible assets exceeded book value
= $2,390,000 - $1,851,000 - $178,500 - $134,000
= $226,500
We simply applied the above formula so that the goodwill amount could arrive
You bought a stock one year ago for $51.41 per share and sold it today for $59.82 per share. It paid a $1.03 per share dividend today. How much of the return came from dividend yield and how much came from capital gain? The return that came from dividend yield is ________ (Round to one decima %. l place.) The return that came from capital gain is _______.
Answer:
Return from dividend yield= 2.0%
Capital gain = 16.4%
Explanation:
The return on a stock is the sum of the capital gains(loss) plus the dividends earned.
Capital gain is the difference between the value of the stocks when sold and the cost of the shares when purchased.
Total shareholders Return =
(Capital gain/ loss + dividend )/purchase price × 100
The total return can be broken down into
Dividend yield = Dividend/price × 100
= 1.03/51.41 × 100
=2.0%
Capital gain = capital gain/ price × 100
= (59.82 - 51.41)/51.41 × 100 = 16.4%

The Tornado Truck Body Company decides to repurchase 10,000 shares of its common stock on January 20. The stock has $1 par value, and the market value per share of common stock on January 20 is $8.75. The company decides to sell 5,000 of the treasury stock shares on April 30 for $9.00 per share. What is the amount of the gain recognized as a result of the transaction
The amount of the gain recognized as a result of the transaction is $35,000.
Explanation:The gain recognized as a result of the transaction is calculated by subtracting the cost of the repurchased shares from the proceeds of the sale of the treasury stock. In this case, the cost of repurchased shares is $1 par value per share multiplied by the number of shares repurchased, which is 10,000. So the cost is $10,000. The proceeds of the sale of the treasury stock is the selling price per share multiplied by the number of shares sold, which is $9.00 per share multiplied by 5,000 shares. So the proceeds are $45,000.
The gain is calculated by subtracting the cost from the proceeds, which is $45,000 - $10,000 = $35,000.
Therefore, the amount of the gain recognized as a result of the transaction is $35,000.
A full-time worker aged 2525 invests $250250 a month in a fund which has an average yearly return of 7.27.2% compounded monthmonthly. (a) The worker wants to estimate what they will have for retirement when they are 6060 years old if the rate stays constant. Assume monthmonthly compounding. (b) If the worker makes no further deposits and makes no withdrawals after age 6060, how much will they have for retirement at age 6666?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The number of years/months= 60 - 25= 35*12= 420
Interest rate= 0.072/12= 0.006 compounded monthly
Monthly investment= $250
(a) We need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {250*[(1.006^420)-1]} / 0.006
FV= $472,306.75
(b) I assume that the monthly compounded continues.
Number of months= 6*12= 72
We need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 472,306.75* (1.006^72)
FV= $726,572.28
Chester currently has $17,334 (000) in cash and management has decided to issue stocks and bonds worth an additional $8,000 (000). Assuming that cash from operations will be the same for each of the following activities, which activity exposes this company to the most risk of being issued an emergency loan? Select: 1 A $5 dividend Liquidate the entire inventory Purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment Retiring the oldest bond
Answer:
Purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment
Explanation:
The purpose of an emergency loan is to help a company pay its current liabilities and obligations because they temporarily o not have enough cash. A company might be economically very healthy, but financially unstable. E.g. a company increased its total sales by handing out more credit to its customers, but it cannot collect its accounts receivables fast enough to pay for its current obligations.
In this case, since we do not know the number of outstanding stocks nor the value of the oldest bonds, we cannot choose these options. While liquidating the inventory would increase the cash balance, not decrease it. The only action that we know for sure would severely affect the cash position of the company is purchasing a lot of equipment in cash.
Cobe Company has already manufactured 17,000 units of Product A at a cost of $10 per unit. The 17,000 units can be sold at this stage for $470,000. Alternatively, the units can be further processed at a $280,000 total additional cost and be converted into 5,200 units of Product B and 11,300 units of Product C. Per unit selling price for Product B is $104 and for Product C is $52. 1. Prepare an analysis that shows whether the 17,000 units of Product A should be processed further or not?
Answer:
Company should be processed further of product A.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:-
Particular Sales Amount Further Process
Sales $4,70,000 $11,28,400
For Further process additional cost $2,80,000
Income/Loss $4,70,000 $8,48,400
Further Processed Total Additional Sales = Sale Units of Product B × Price Per Unit of Product B + Sale Units of Product C × Price Per Unit of Product C
= (5200 × $104) + (11,300 × $52)
= $540,800 + $587,600 =$1,128,400
If Processed Further Incremental Net Income = Income -Sales
= $848,400 - $470,000
= $378,400.
According to the Analysis, Company should be processed further of product A.
ou are valuing a company that is projected to generate a free cash flow of $10 million next year, growing at a stable 3.0% rate in perpetuity thereafter. The company has $22 million of debt and $8.5 million of cash. Cost of capital is 10.0%. There are 50 million shares outstanding. How much is each share worth according to your valuation analysis
Answer:
Each share worth is $2.59
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
D1 = Cash Flow at the end of year 1 = $ 10 million
r = Cost of Capital = 10% = 0.1
g = perpetual growth of cash flows
Hence, The present value of Cash Flows = D1/(r-g)
= 10/(0.1-0.03)
=10/0.07
= $ 142.8571428571 million
= $ 142.86 million
To find the equity value we need to remove the net debt from cash flows
Net Debt = Debt - Cash
= 22 - 8.5
= $ 13.5 million
Now net cash flows = Cash Flows - Net Debt
= 142.86 - 13.5
= $ 129.36 million
Therefore, each share worth = Present Value of Cash Flow / No of Outstanding Shares
= 129.36 / 50 (Both values are in millions so the zeros are ignored)
= 2.5872
= $2.59
Each share worth is $2.59

The contract that describes the terms of a borrowing arrangement between a firm that sells a bond issue and the investors who purchase the bonds is called the . Which term is used to describe a call provision in which the issuer is prevented from calling a portion or the entire issue for several years during the early years of the bond issue? Deferred call provision Sinking fund provision Declining call provision
Answer:
Indenture
Deferred call provision
Explanation:
Indenture is defined as the contract that describes the terms of a borrowing arrangement between a firm that sells a bond issue and the investors who purchase the bonds.
A call provision is defined as the right that the issuer of a security has to call or redeem the security at certain times and under specific conditions.
The call provision in which the issuer is prevented from calling a portion or the entire issue for several years during the early years of the bond issue is called deferred call provision.
At Hodgson Corporation, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversions costs are uniformly applied. Other details include: Beginning WIP direct materials $32,000 Beginning WIP conversion costs $20,250 Costs of materials added $384,100 Costs of conversion added $271,125 WIP beginning (50% for conversion) 19,200 units Units started 119,500 units Units completed and transferred out 115,700 units WIP ending (60% for conversion) 23,000 units What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs
Answer:
$2.25 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per equivalent is shown below:
= Total conversion cost ÷ total units completed
where,
Total conversion cost is
= Beginning work in process conversion cost + cost of conversion added
= $20,250 + 271,125
= 291,375
And, the number of units is
= Units completed + work in process ending inventory units × completion percentage
= 115,700 units + 23,000 units × 60%
= 115,700 + 13,800
= 129,500 units
So, the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost is
= $291,375 ÷ 129,500 units
= $2.25 per unit
Exercise 11-28 (LO. 3) Lucy sells her partnership interest, a passive activity, with an adjusted basis of $305,000 for $330,000. In addition, she has current and suspended losses of $28,000 associated with the partnership and has no other passive activities. a. Calculate Lucy's total gain and her current deductible loss. Her total gain is $ and her deductible loss is $ . b. What type of income can the deductible loss offset? Lucy's deductible loss is offset against
Answer and Explanation:
The actual gain or loss from the investment, including any suspended losses, should be determined when the tax payer disposes of his or her interest in a passive activity. According to the passive activity law, any gain realized on passive activity transition is viewed as passive and is initially compensated by suspended passive active losses from that activity.
If latest and suspended losses of passive activity exceed the gain accomplished, any loss from the activity for the tax year exceeding the net gain for the tax year from all passive activities shall be allowed to treat as a loss not arising from passive activity.
The computation of total gain and current deductible is shown below:-
Total gain = Net sales price - Adjusted basis amount
= $330,000 - 305,000
= $25,000
And Current deductible amount is
= Total gain earned - Suspended losses suffered
= $25,000 - $28,000
= $3,000
This amount represents the non passive amount
b. Deductible loss that may offset profit from passive investment that is realized in passive activity on the selling of partnership interest. The benefit realized in passive activity on selling of interest is regarded as passive.
At December 31, 2021, Bonita Industries had 508000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 396000 of which had been issued and outstanding throughout the year and 112000 of which were issued on October 1, 2021. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $1705000. What should be Bonita's 2021 earnings per common share, rounded to the nearest penny? $4.02 $4.31 $3.77 $36.18
Answer:
$4.02 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
Earning per share = (Net income) ÷ (weighted average number of outstanding shares)
where,
Net income is $1,705,000
And, the weighted average number of shares is
= (396,000 shares + 112,000 × 3 months ÷ 12 months)
= 424,000 shares
So, the earning per share is
= ($1,705,000) ÷ (424,000 shares)
= $4.02 per share
11.1. One reason why firms might want to pursue a strategic alliance strategy is to exploit economies of scale. Exploiting economies of scale should reduce a firm’s costs. Why would this mean that a firm pursuing an alliance strategy to exploit economies of scale is actually pursuing a cost leadership strategy?
Answer:
In simple words, economies of scale refers to the method of reducing cost of production by producing any commodity at a very high level. By doing strategic alliance two companies can combine their operations to work more efficiently.
Thus, strategic alliance will help the combining group in two ways, first they can target more customers without effective competition and also they can reduce their cost from economies of scale. The further effect of economies of scale would be lesser priced products, that is, cost leadership in the market.
Final answer:
Firms exploit economies of scale through strategic alliances to become cost leaders by reducing per-unit costs and increasing production efficiency. This cost-saving aligns with the cost leadership strategy as firms aim to offer goods or services at a lower price than their competitors while maintaining profitability.
Explanation:
A firm pursuing a strategic alliance strategy to exploit economies of scale is effectively implementing a cost leadership strategy because economies of scale result in reduced costs per unit by spreading fixed costs over a larger number of units and utilizing more efficient production methods. This cost reduction is a hallmark of cost leadership strategies where firms aim to become the lowest-cost producers in their industry. According to Michael Porter, firms should either pursue cost leadership or product differentiation to delay the effects of perfect competition and maintain sustainable profits.
Engaging in strategic alliances allows firms to merge their resources and capabilities, thus achieving cost efficiencies and higher volumes which lead to economies of scale. This not only helps firms lower their costs but also hinders new competitors due to the larger scale needed to compete effectively. Horizontal integration is one such example where firms expand or merge to achieve cost efficiencies.
Thus, when a firm forms an alliance to gain economies of scale, it is essentially focusing on minimizing costs to gain a competitive price advantage, which underpins the cost leadership approach. Being a cost leader can also potentially lead to market dominance by setting prices that are difficult for smaller or less efficient competitors to match, which can result in higher market shares for the cost-leading firms.
Department S had 500 units 70% completed in process at the beginning of the period, 7,600 units completed during the period, and 900 units 53% completed at the end of the period. What was the number of equivalent units of production for the period for conversion if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories? Assume the completion percentage applies to both direct materials and conversion cost.
Answer:
7,727 units
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Department S beginning = 500 units
Completed % in process = 70%
Total completed during period = 7,600 units
End of period = 900 units 53 % completed
So, we can calculate the units of production using FIFO method.

Hunt Company purchased factory equipment with an invoice price of $90,000. Other costs incurred were freight costs, $1,100; installation wiring and foundation, $2,200; material and labor costs in testing equipment, $700; oil lubricants and supplies to be used with equipment, $500; fire insurance policy covering equipment, $1,400. The equipment is estimated to have a $5,000 salvage value at the end of its 8-year useful service life. Compute the acquisition cost of the equipment. Acquisition cost of the equipment $ If the double-declining-balance method of depreciation was used, the constant percentage applied to a declining book value would be
Answer:
Acquisition cost of the Equipment = $94,000
Double declining depreciation rate = 25%
Explanation:
a. The computation of the acquisition cost of the equipment is shown below:-
Acquisition cost of the Equipment = Invoice cost + Freight costs + Installation wiring and foundation + Material and labor costs used in testing
= $90,000 + $1,100 + $2,200 + $700
= $94,000
b. The computation of double declining depreciation rate is here below:-
Double declining depreciation rate = 1 ÷ Depreciation life × Times
= 1 ÷ 8 × 2
= 0.125 × 2
= 0.25
or
= 25%
Round Hammer is comparing two different capital structures: An all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 175,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 125,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.7 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent, and there are no taxes. a. If EBIT is $325,000, what is the EPS for each plan
Answer:
1.86
Explanation:
Data provided as per the question is here below:-
Net income = $325,000
Number of shares outstanding = 175,000
The computation of EPS for each plan is shown below:-
EPS = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding
= $325,000 ÷ 175,000
= 1.86
Therefore for computing the EPS we simply applied the above formula.

In 2020, Antle Inc. had acquired Demski Co. and recorded goodwill of $275 million as a result. The net assets (including goodwill) from Antle's acquisition of Demski Co. had a 2021 year-end book value of $610 million. Antle assessed the fair value of the Demski reporting unit at this date to be $730 million, while the fair value of all of Demski's identifiable tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) was $583 million. The amount of the impairment loss that Antle would record for goodwill at the end of 2021 is: Multiple Choice $147 million. $128 million. $0. $120 million.
Final answer:
Antle Inc. would record a goodwill impairment loss of $128 million for Antle's acquisition of Demski Co., as the carrying value of the goodwill ($275 million) exceeds its implied fair value ($147 million) determined by the fair value of the reporting unit ($730 million) minus the fair value of identifiable assets ($583 million).
Explanation:
To determine the amount of goodwill impairment, we must assess the carrying value of the reporting unit against its fair value. According to the information provided, Antle Inc. recorded goodwill for the acquisition of Demski Co. at $275 million. The fair value of the reporting unit, which includes Demski Co., is $730 million, and the fair value of its identifiable tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) is $583 million.
Initially, we calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by subtracting the fair value of identifiable assets from the fair value of the reporting unit:
Fair value of the reporting unit: $730 millionFair value of identifiable assets: $583 millionImplied fair value of goodwill: $730 million - $583 million = $147 millionNow, compare the carrying value of the goodwill with the implied fair value. The carrying value of goodwill is $275 million and the implied fair value is $147 million. Therefore, Antle must record an impairment loss to write down the carrying value of goodwill to the lower implied fair value.
Goodwill impairment loss = Carrying value of goodwill - Implied fair value of goodwill = $275 million - $147 million = $128 million.

Explanation:
Computation of Cost of Land
Cost $1,350,000
Tear down $100,000
Salvage -$8,500
Legal fees $5,250
Title insurance $3,600
pavement $9,800
Total $1,460,150
Answer:
Desert Company
Historical cost of Land:
Purchase price = $1,350,000
Tearing down Buildings = $91,500 $(100,000 - 8,500)
Title Investigation = $5,250
Title Insurance = $3,600
Total = $1,450,350
Explanation:
The historical cost of land is the initial price paid to purchase the land and any other costs incurred in order to put the land to use, except building costs.
The other costs, including Architect's fee, Liability Insurance during construction, excavation cost, contractor fee, and landscaping cost are costs incurred for the building and not for the land.
