Answer:
c)$568; $378; $54
Explanation:
($1,120 - $1,000)/$1,000 = 12%
(0.6)14% + (0.4)10% = 12.4%
12% = w5% + 12.4%(1 - w)
w = .054
1-w = .946
w = 0.054($1,000)
= $54 (T-bills)
1 - w = 1 - 0.054 = 0.946
0.946($1,000) = $946
$946 x 0.6 = $568 in X
$946 x 0.4 = $378 in Y.
Final answer:
To achieve an expected outcome of $1,120, invest $672 in X, $448 in Y, and $0 in T-bills.
Explanation:
The expected outcome of $1,120 can be achieved by investing in a T-bill, risky securities X and Y.
The dollar value of positions in X, Y, and T-bills would be $378, $54, and $688, respectively.
Calculations:
X position = $1,120 * 0.60 = $672
Y position = $1,120 * 0.40 = $448
T-bill position = $1,120 - $672 - $448 = $0

Oriole Company uses the percentage-of-receivables basis to record bad debt expense and concludes that 2% of accounts receivable will become uncollectible. Accounts receivable are $391,900 at the end of the year, and the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $2,903. (a) Prepare the adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense for the year. (b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $827 instead of a credit balance of $2,903, prepare the adjusting journal entry for bad debt expense.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entry for the given data are as follows:
a). Journal entry to record bad-debt expense
Bad-debt expense A/c [($391,900 × 2÷100) - $2,903] Dr. $4,935
To Allowance for doubtful accounts A/c $4,935
(To record bad-debts expense)
b). Journal entry to record bad-debt expense
Bad-debt expense A/c [($391900×2÷100)+$827 ] Dr. $8,665
To Allowance for doubtful accounts A/c $8,665
(To record bad-debts expense)
Oriole Company uses the percentage-of-receivables basis to record bad debt expense. The adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense can be calculated using the percentage-of-receivables basis and the account balance information provided. The adjusting journal entry changes when the allowance for doubtful accounts has a debit instead of credit balance.
Explanation:To record the bad debt expense for the year, we need to calculate the amount of the expense first. We are told that Oriole Company uses the percentage-of-receivables basis and concludes that 2% of accounts receivable will become uncollectible. Therefore, the bad debt expense can be calculated as 2% of $391,900, which equals $7,838.
The adjusting journal entry to record the bad debt expense would be:
Bad Debt Expense: 7838Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: 7838If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $827 instead of a credit balance of $2,903, the adjusting journal entry for bad debt expense would be:

On December 31, 2020, Berclair Inc. had 600 million shares of common stock and 7 million shares of 9%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock issued and outstanding. On March 1, 2021, Berclair purchased 24 million shares of its common stock as treasury stock. Berclair issued a 5% common stock dividend on July 1, 2021. Four million treasury shares were sold on October 1. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $1,050 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Also outstanding at December 31 were 30 million incentive stock options granted to key executives on September 13, 2016. The options were exercisable as of September 13, 2020, for 30 million common shares at an exercise price of $56 per share. During 2021, the market price of the common shares averaged $70 per share.
Required:
Compute Berclair's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Answer:
The diluted EPS is $1.65
Explanation:
Solution
The Numerator (Basic EPS):
The Net income = $1,050 million
The Preferred dividends= 3mn * 9% * $ 100 = $ 27 million
because the preferred stock is cumulative, the dividend is deducted whether or not paid)
The Denominator (Basic EPS): Weighted average Number of shares
Now,
common stock outstanding (1/1 – 12/31) 600 million x (12/12) *1.05 = 630 million
The Treasury shares purchased (3/1 – 12/31) (24) million x (10/12) *1.05 =(21) million
The shares treasury sold (10/1 – 12/31) (4) million x (3/12) =1
The average weighted number of shares =610 million
so,
Basic EPS = ($1,050-27) ÷ 610 = $1.68
Stock Options
The stock choice are dilutive because exercise price is lesser than market price of $ 70 per share.
By applying the treasury stock method.
Exercise is supposed to take place at the later of the date of issue (9/13/21) or the beginning of the year (1/1/21). Assume exercise 1/1/21
The Treasury Stock Method suggests that the proceeds received upon exercise of $1,680 (30 million x $56) are used to purchase back stock at the market price average, for example $1,680 ÷ $70 = 24 million
The net goes higher in the number of shares = 6 million (30 million issued upon exercise – 24 million repurchased)
Convertible Bonds
By applying method if bonds are transformed into common stock. however,a step by step approach to calculate nature of dilution. is determined
Now,
The shares issued on conversion = 6 million
The Interest paid, net of tax = $3 [(8% x $50) x 75%]
The Interest per shares issued = 3/6 = $ 0.5 per share
The EPS without assumed conversion = ($1,050 - $27+3) ÷ (610 + 6+6) = $1.65
The convertible bonds are dilutive because $1.65 is less than $1.68
Therefore, diluted EPS = ($1,050 - $27+3) ÷ (610 + 6+6) = $1.65
When the Berclair's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021, Then, The diluted EPS is = $1.65
Computation of Tax Rate
The Numerator (Basic EPS):
Then, The Net income is = $1,050 million
After that, The Preferred dividends is = 3mn * 9% * $ 100 = $ 27 million
because When the preferred stock is cumulative, Then, the dividend is deducted whether or not paid)
When The Denominator (Basic EPS): Weighted average Number of shares
Now, When the common stock outstanding (1/1 – 12/31) 600 million x (12/12) *1.05 is = 630 million
When The Treasury shares purchased (3/1 – 12/31) (24) million x (10/12) *1.05 is = (21) million
Although, The shares treasury sold (10/1 – 12/31) (4) million x (3/12) =1
When The average weighted number of shares is = 610 million
so,
The Basic EPS is = ($1,050-27) ÷ 610 = $1.68
Then the Stock Options are:
When The stock choice is dilutive because the exercise price is lesser than the market price of $ 70 per share.
Now, By applying the treasury stock method.
The Exercise is supposed to take place at the later date of issue (9/13/21) or the beginning of the year (1/1/21). Then, Assume exercise 1/1/21
After that, The Treasury Stock Method suggests that the proceeds received upon exercise of $1,680 (30 million x $56) are used to purchase back stock at the market price average, for example, $1,680 ÷ $70 is = 24 million
When The net goes higher the number of shares is = 6 million (30 million issued upon exercise – 24 million repurchased)
Now, Convertible Bonds
Then, By applying the method if bonds are transformed into common stock. however, When a step by step approach to calculating the nature of dilution. is determined
Now,
The shares issued on conversion is = 6 million
The Interest paid, net of tax is = $3 [(8% x $50) x 75%]
The Interest per shares issued is = 3/6 = $ 0.5 per share
The EPS without assumed conversion is = ($1,050 - $27+3) ÷ (610 + 6+6) = $1.65
After that, The convertible bonds are dilutive because $1.65 is less than $1.68
Thus, diluted EPS = ($1,050 - $27+3) ÷ (610 + 6+6) = $1.65

Laramie Corporation has acquired a property that included both land and a building for $ 500 comma 000. The corporation hired an appraiser who has determined that the market value of the land is $ 310 comma 000 and that of the building is $ 400 comma 000. At what amount should the corporation record the cost of the building? (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$281,700
Explanation:
The computation of cost of the building is shown below:-
Market value of total assets = Market value of land + Market value of building
= $310,000 + $400,000
= $710,000
Share of buildings in total market value = Market value of building ÷ Market value of total assets
= $400,000 ÷ $710,000
= 56.33%
So, Cost of building to be recorded = Combined cost of land and building × Share of buildings in total market value
= $500,000 × 56.34%
= $281,700

Laubach $37,690, S. Loftin $15,320, M. Moravec $9,840. (Assume that all employees have exceeded the annual FUTA wage base of $7,000 per employee and that the FUTA rate is 0.6%.) What are the FUTA and SUTA tax liabilities for Dena's Decorations?
Answer:
FUTA = $168
SUTA = $1,866.24
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
FUTA
= $7,000 × 4 employees × 0.6% = $168
SUTA
Gilfin, Laubach and Loftin earning excess = $14,000
So, will take maximum $14,000 for each of them
Moravec is less than $14,000 therefore will take the actual amount
Earnings = ($14,000 × 3 × 3.6%) + ($9,840 × 3.6%)
=$1,866.24

Explanation:
Computation of the given data are as follows:
October sales = $2,700
November sales = $4,050
As the expiry of cards is of 2 months.
Then, of the sale of November,
Redemption in November = $405

So, Deferred revenue = November sales - November sales - Redemption in December
= $4,050 - $405 -$945
= $2,700
You are evaluating the following two investment opportunities: Project A: This project requires $2,000 upfront, and pays you $500 at the end of each of the first 2 years, and an additional lump-sum of $1200 at the end of year 3. Project B: This project requires $2,000 upfront, and pays you $600 at the end of each of the first 2 years, and an additional lump-sum of $1000 at the end of year 3. Which project has a smaller IRR, and which project is more attractive?
Answer:
The project A has a smaller IRR, and the project B is more attractive
Explanation:
Solution
Solve for Project A:
Now,
Let assume that the IRR be x
Hence,
The Present Value of Outflows of Cash Outflows= The Present Value of Inflows of Cash
Thus,
2000 =500/(1.0x) +500/ (1.0x)^2 +1200/(1.0x)^3
Or we say x= 4.223%
Therefore the IRR is 4.223%
For project B:
Let assume that the IRR be y.
Thus,
The Present Value of Outflow of Cash = The Present Value of Inflow of Cash
so,
2000 =600/(1.0y) + 600/ (1.0y)^2 + 1000/(1.0y)^3
Or we say, y= 4.498%
Therefore the IRR is 4.498%
b) IKEA is also very "IKEA-centric." For example, the IKEA store itself will be laid out as a maze that requires customers to walk through every department before they reach the checkout stations. This forced path can seem constraining to their customers who naturally are more free spirited than the IKEA management model. Can this spell trouble in the near future, or is the IKEA way a sustainable business model? Why?
Answer:
Explanation:
As long as IKEA is able to deliver value and differentiation via quality, cost, and new designs, then the IKEA way of putting people through the different departments before making checkouts, will not spell trouble.
Furthermore, the movement of people through the different departments will give consumers, exposure to other new products available and it will make them aware of the quality present in other goods. As a result, the consumer and the company will benefit from increased sales.
Here, IKEA has to assure that quality is to be maintained and movement through the different departments should not be high traffic and it will be convenient for people to easily move through to remain interested in visiting the IKEA stores on a regular basis.
Thus, it will be the right step to build a sustainable business model by IKEA.
Shoshone County uses the consumption method to account for supplies. At the beginning of the year the city had no supplies on hand. During the year the city purchased $450,000 of supplies for use by activities accounted for in the general fund. The city used $300,000 of those supplies during the year. At fiscal year-end, the appropriate account balances on the general fund financial statements would be a) Expenditures $450,000; Supplies inventory $150,000. b) Expenditures $450,000; Supplies inventory $0. c) Expenditures $300,000; Supplies inventory $150,000. d) Expenditures $300,000; Supplies inventory $0.

Assume that tomatoes are currently imported from abroad at a market price of $ .50 per tomato. Assume that a tariff of $ .25 is placed on imported tomatoes. Also assume that the supply and demand for tomatoes are normal supply and demand relationships. What will be the effect of the tariff on the price of tomatoes in the U.S. and to the price received by foreign exporters of tomatoes?
Answer:
Increases the price of tomatoes in the U.S.
Decrease the price received by foreign exporters of tomatoes.
Explanation:
Tariff refers to a tax or duty is charged on some imported goods. It is usually used to discourage the importation of the goods.
The effect of the tariff $0.25 will be an increase in the price of tomatoes in the U.S. However, it will lead to a decrease in the price received by foreign exporters of tomatoes.
The reason is that the supply and demand for tomatoes are normal supply and demand relationships which will make the foreign exporter to bear the higher burden of the tariff.
On November 1, 2021, Blossom Company purchased Splish, Inc., 10-year, 10%, bonds with a face value of $900000, for $820000. An additional $34000 was paid for the accrued interest. Interest is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The bonds mature on July 1, 2028. Blossom uses the straight-line method of amortization. Ignoring income taxes, the amount reported in Blossom's 2021 income statement as a result of Blossom's available-for-sale investment in Splish was
A. $9850.
B. $12150.
C. $13000.

Iz, Lauren, Odd, and Ralph started a T‑shirt company. They can produce any number of T‑shirts at a cost of $2 per T‑shirt, both marginal and average. They are the only producers of T‑shirts. As monopolists, they charge $20 per T‑shirt and obtain total profits of $10,000 . Now assume there are creative differences and they split the company in two. Lauren and Ralph join together and compete against Iz and Odd. If they compete on quantity, each company would produce 50 T‑shirts and charge $12 a T‑shirt. For technical reasons, assume that the quantity demanded is greater than zero for all prices greater than $0. If, however, Ralph and Lauren compete directly against Iz and Odd in prices, the market price for T‑shirts will be $ And their profits will be $ In response to the price war, Iz and Odd decide to put an iguana on the chest of their T‑shirt. They convince the world that the iguana is necessary for coolness. This type of behavior is called Bertrand competition. product differentiation. Cournot competition. Herfindahl competition. What economic reason is likely to have caused Iz and Odd put an iguana on their T‑shirts? increase profits decrease costs get better customers receive a major fashion award gain notoriety
Answer:
Market price = $2, profit = $0
Product differentiation
Increase profit
Explanation:
The market price will be $2, since the two firms will compete against each other, then the ori e falls to the marginal cost of $2
Product differentiation refers to the distinction made in a market whereby mostly similar products are produced. The variation or distinction made by different producers is usually used to influence consumer decision. The inscription of iguana made on the chest of iz and odd's t-shirt brand is to differentiate its product from that of Ralph and Lauren.
The Economic reason which could have likely sparked iz and odd's decision to put Iguana on its t-shirt brand is to give consumers something a bit more different from their usual design, thereby enticing more customers and ultimately increase profit.
Final answer:
Iz and Odd likely added an iguana to their T-shirts in a strategy to increase profits through product differentiation, allowing them to charge a higher price than competitors even after splitting from a monopolistic firm and entering into competition.
Explanation:
When Iz and Odd decide to differentiate their T-shirts by adding an iguana, the primary economic reason behind such a decision is likely to increase profits. In markets where products become commoditized and competition is based on price, differentiation can create a perceived value that allows a firm to avoid price wars. As the monopolist firm originally produced T-shirts at $20 each with a profit of $10,000, the competition after the split forced the price to go down to $12 per T-shirt when they competed on quantity.
If Ralph and Lauren were to compete directly on price with Iz and Odd, the market price would go down even further, and profits would decrease for both firms due to the Bertrand competition model. However, by adding an iguana, Iz and Odd are attempting product differentiation, which can allow them to maintain a higher price point and retain or even increase profits by setting their product apart from the competition.
Eastman Publishing Company is considering publishing an electronic textbook about spreadsheet applications for business. The fixed cost of manuscript preparation, textbook design, and web-site construction is estimated to be $160,000. Variable processing costs are estimated to be $6 per book. The publisher plans to sell single-user access to the book for $46.Required:A) Build a spreadsheet model in Excel to calculate the profit/loss for a given demand. What profit can be anticipated with a demand of 3,500 copies?For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign.B) Use a data table to vary demand from 1,000 to 6,000 in increments of 200 to test the sensitivity of profit to demand. Breakeven occurs where profit goes from a negative to a positive value, that is, breakeven is where total revenue = total cost yielding a profit of zero. In which interval of demand does breakeven occur?(i) Breakeven appears in the interval of 3,600 to 3,800 copies.(ii) Breakeven appears in the interval of 4,000 to 4,200 copies.(iii) Breakeven appears in the interval of 4,200 to 4,400 copies.(iv) Breakeven appears in the interval of 4,400 to 4,600 copies.
Answer:
(a). Loss = $20,000
(b). Breakeven appears in the interval of 4,000 to 4,200 copies.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
a). Sales = sale units × selling price per unit
= 3,500 × $46 = $161,000
variable cost = sale units × variable cost per unit
= 3,500 × $6 = $21,000
contribution = sales - variable cost
= $161,000 - $21,000 = $140,000
Net income = contribution - fixed cost
= $140,000 - $160,000 = -$20,000 (Loss)
(b). The attachment is attached below:
According to the analysis, (ii) breakeven appears in the interval of 4,000 to 4,200 copies.
To calculate the profit/loss for a given demand, use the formula: Profit = Revenue - Cost. The break-even point occurs where profit goes from negative to positive.
Explanation:To calculate the profit/loss for a given demand, you can use the formula: Profit = Revenue - Cost. The revenue can be calculated by multiplying the demand (3,500 copies) by the selling price ($46). The cost can be calculated by adding the fixed costs ($160,000) to the variable costs (demand * $6). In this case, the profit can be calculated as: $46 * 3,500 - ($160,000 + (3,500 * $6)).
To test the sensitivity of profit to demand, you can use a data table in Excel. Vary the demand from 1,000 to 6,000 in increments of 200 and calculate the profit for each demand level. The break-even point occurs where the profit goes from negative to positive. Based on the data table, the break-even point appears to be in the interval of 4,000 to 4,200 copies.

Lacy Construction has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan. At December 31, 2021, Lacy received the following information: Projected Benefit Obligation ($ in millions) Balance, January 1 $ 1,120 Service cost 90 Prior service cost 42 Interest cost(5.0%) 56 Benefits paid (80 ) Balance, December 31 $ 1,228 Plan Assets ($ in millions) Balance, January 1 $ 530 Actual return on plan assets 56 Contributions 2021 90 Benefits paid (80 ) Balance, December 31 $ 596 The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 10%. There were no AOCI balances related to pensions on January 1, 2021. At the end of 2021, Lacy amended the pension formula creating a prior service cost of $42 million. Determine Lacy's pension expense for 2021.
Answer:
$93 Million
Explanation:
The computation of Lacy's pension expense is shown below:-
Service cost $90 Million
Interest cost $56 Million
Expected return on the plan assets $53 Million
$56 Million - (56 Million - 53 Million)
Amortization of prior service cost $0*
Amortization of net gain or net loss-AOCI $0
Pension Expense $93 Million
Therefore, the change was at the end of the year, so there will be no changes in amortization of prior service cost in 2021.
The total pension expense for Lacy Construction in 2021 is $132 million, which is calculated by adding the service cost ($90 million), Interest cost ($56 million), and prior service cost ($42 million), and subtracting the actual return on plan assets ($56 million).
Explanation:The pension expense for Lacy Construction in 2021 can be calculated by adding the service cost, interest cost, and the prior service cost because of the amendment of the pension formula, less the actual return on the plan assets. Therefore, Lacy's pension expense can be calculated as follows: Service cost ($90 million) plus Interest cost ($56 million) plus Prior service cost ($42 million) minus Actual return on plan assets ($56 million). Therefore, the total pension expense for Lacy Construction in 2021 is $132 million. For Lacy Construction, an increment in pension liabilities due to the Prior service cost was a significant aspect of their pension expense, and managing the Actual return on plan assets will also play a critical role in controlling these costs in the future.

Acquisitions of furniture total $47,000 cash, on which no depreciation is necessary because it is acquired at year-end. What is the cash inflow related to the sale of furniture? rev: 02_19_2019_QC_CS-159605
Answer:
Cruz Inc.
Cash inflow from the sale of Furniture:
Difference in the accumulated depreciation account is transferred to Sale of Furniture:
Accumulated Depreciation- Furniture
Opening Balance - $6,200
Plus Depreciation Expense - $25,600
Less Credit Balance - $11,300
Balance transferred to sale of furniture = $20,500
Sales of Furniture Account
Debit: Furniture Account (book value) = $56,600
Credit: Accumulated Depreciation = $20,500
Credit: Cash inflow = $36,100
Explanation:
The cash inflow is the difference between the book value of the furniture sold and its attributable accumulated depreciation.
The attributable accumulated depreciation is the difference between opening accumulated depreciation and depreciation expenses less closing accumulated depreciation. This difference represents the amount of accumulated depreciation transferred out, as a result of the sale.
Final answer:
The cash inflow related to the sale of furniture by Cruz, Inc. is $56,600, which is the book value of the furniture that was sold in 2017. This is calculated using the historical cost and accumulated depreciation provided, considering that the sold furniture did not contribute to any gain or loss in the sale.
Explanation:
The question you asked pertains to the cash inflow from the sale of furniture as reported in the financial statements of Cruz, Inc. To calculate this cash inflow, we need to examine the details provided in the comparative balance sheet and the income statement, as well as the additional information given.
In the balance sheet, the accumulated depreciation on furniture increased by $5,100 from 2016 to 2017 ($11,300 - $6,200). This increase in accumulated depreciation suggests that some furniture was sold, as there is no depreciation expense necessary for new acquisitions in the current year, based on the information provided.
The income statement shows a depreciation expense of $25,600 for the year. Since we've been told that furniture with a historical cost of $56,600 was sold at its book value, we need to figure out this book value. The historical cost of the furniture is subtracted by the accumulated depreciation related to the furniture that was sold, which must be part of this year's depreciation expense, to find the book value.
The book value of the sold furniture could be calculated as follows: $56,600 (historical cost) - (total depreciation expense $25,600 - depreciation for new acquisitions $0) = $56,600 (since there is no additional depreciation for new acquisitions in this year, all depreciation expense is related to old furniture).
Since the furniture was sold at its book value and there was no loss or gain reported, it implies the cash inflow is equal to the book value of the furniture that was sold. Therefore, the cash inflow related to the sale of furniture is $56,600.
When preparing the statement of cash flows using the indirect method, which statement is INCORRECT? A. Losses on the sale of longminusterm assets are subtracted from net income. B. Increases in current liabilities are added to net income. C. Depreciation expense is added to net income. D. Gains on the sale of longminusterm assets are subtracted from net income.
Answer:
The correct answer is Option A.
Explanation:
A. Losses on the sale of longminusterm assets are subtracted from net income - This is incorrect because on losses on sale of an asset are usually added to the net income to avoid double-counting of income. Under the investing section of the cash flows, the proceed received on disposal is recorded there as inflow, if the losses realized on the disposal are subtracted, there would be a double-counting because the losses had already reduced the net income before.
B. Increases in current liabilities are added to net income - This is an inflow of cash, so it is usually added back.
C. Depreciation expense is added to net income - The explanation under Option A above applies but only that depreciation is a non-cash item, which already reduced the net income and it has to be added back to reinstate the net income.
D. Gains on the sale of longminusterm assets are subtracted from net income - Explanation under Option A applies.
