Riverboat Adventures pays $170,000 plus $14,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land appraised at $22,000, a building appraised at $79,200, and paddleboats appraised at $118,800. Compute the cost that should be allocated to the building. Multiple Choice $66,240. $61,200. $79,200.

Answers

Answer:

Total cost allocated to building = $66,240

Explanation:

Given:

Total amount pay = $170,000 + $14,000 = $184,000

Land appraised amount = $22,000

Building appraised amount = $79,200

Paddleboats appraised price = $118,800

Find:

Total cost allocated to building

Computation:

Total appraisal price = Land appraised amount + Building appraised amount  + Paddleboats appraised price

Total appraisal price = $22,000 + $79,200 + 118,800

Total appraisal price = $220,000

Total cost allocated to building = [Total amount pay / Total appraisal price]Building appraised amount

Total cost allocated to building = [184,000/220,000]79,200

Total cost allocated to building = $66,240

A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 36%, while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 16%. The correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is 0.30. Stock A comprises 30% of the portfolio, while stock B comprises the rest of the portfolio. What is the standard deviation of the return on this portfolio?

Answers

Answer: 17.7%

Explanation:

Standard deviation of portfolio = √(Weight of A² * Standard deviation of A² + Weight of B² * Standard deviation of B² + 2 * Weight of A * Weight of B * Correlation coefficient of A and B * Standard deviation of A * Standard deviation of B)

= √(30%² * 36%² + 70%² * 16%² + 2 * 30% * 70% * 0.30 * 36% * 16%)

= √0.0314656

The Walking Dead estimates bad debts at 8% of accounts receivable. After adjusting journal entries are recorded, what is the September 30th balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts receivables :

Beginning balance 1 September = $22,400

Services on account = $45,000

Cash collected = $34,400

Written off accounts = $2,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

Beginning balance 1 September = $4,400

Adjusted balance for Allowance for doubtful accounts on 30th September

= Beginning balance 1 September - Written off accounts + Bad debt expense

= $4,400 + $2,000 + ($45,000 × 8%)

= $4,400 + $2,000 + $3,600

= $6,000

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The biosphere (from Greek βίος bíos "life" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere"), also known as the ecosphere (from Greek οἶκος oîkos "environment" and σφαῖρα), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth. The biosphere is virtually a closed system with regards to matter, with minimal inputs and outputs. With regards to energy, it is an open system, with photosynthesis capturing solar energy at a rate of around 130 Terawatts per year. However it is a self-regulating system close to energetic equilibrium. By the most general biophysiological definition, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved, beginning with a process of biopoiesis (life created naturally from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds) or biogenesis (life created from living matter), at least some 3.5 billion years ago.

Pension Plan Entries Yuri Co. operates a chain of gift shops. The company maintains a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. The plan requires quarterly installments to be paid to the funding agent, Whims Funds, by the fifteenth of the month following the end of each quarter. Assume that the pension cost is $157,100 for the quarter ended December 31.
Journalize the entry to record the accrued pension liability on December 31.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

On Dec 31

Pension expense $157,100

     To Unfunded pension liability $157,100

here the pension expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the unfunded pension liability as it also increased the liabilities

So, the above journal entry should be recorded

ABM, Kaizen Costing Baker, Inc., supplies wheels for a large bicycle manufacturing company. The bicycle company has recently requested that Baker decrease its delivery time. Baker made a commitment to reduce the lead time for delivery from seven days to one day. To help achieve this goal, engineering and production workers had made the commitment to reduce time for the setup activity (other activities such as moving materials and rework were also being examined simultaneously). Current setup times were 12 hours. Setup cost was $600 per setup hour. For the first quarter, engineering developed a new process design that it believed would reduce the setup time from 12 hours to nine hours. After implementing the design, the actual setup time dropped from 12 hours to seven hours. Engineering believed the actual reduction was sustainable. In the second quarter, production workers suggested a new setup procedure. Engineering gave the suggestion a positive evaluation, and they projected that the new approach would save an additional six hours of setup time. Setup labor was trained to perform the new setup procedures. The actual reduction in setup time based on the suggested changes was four hours.
Required:
1. What kaizen setup standard would be used at the beginning of each quarter?
2. How much non-value-added cost was eliminated by the end of two quarters?

Answers

Enter your answer in percent to the nearest hundredth, for example if your answer is .25432, enter 25.43.

Answers

Answer: 7.98%

Explanation:

This deals with spot rates and forward rates. The 2 year interest rate three years from now is the 2 year forward rate, 3 years from now.

It can be calculated through the relationship below:

(1 + 5 year spot rate)⁵ = (1 + third year spot rate)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²

(1 + 6.25%)⁵ = (1 + 5.11%)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²

1.35408 = 1.161267 * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²

(1 + 2 year forward rate)² = 1.35408 / 1.161267

1 + 2 year forward rate = √1.16603675

2 year forward rate = √1.16603675 - 1

= 7.98%

The personnel director for Electronics Associates developed the following estimated regression equation relating an employee's score on a job satisfaction test to his or her length of service and wage rate.
= 14.4 - 8.69x1 + 13.5x2
where
x1 = length of service (years)
x2 = wage rate (dollars)
y = job satisfaction test score (higher scores indicate greater job satisfaction)
a. Interpret the coefficients in this estimated regression equation.
b. Predict the job satisfaction test score for an employee who has four years of service and makes $13.00 per hour.

Answers

Answer:

a-1. An increase in the length of service (years) by one year will lead to a reduction in the job satisfaction test score by 8.69.

a-2. An increase in the wage rate (dollars) by $1 will lead to an increase in the job satisfaction test score by 13.5.

b. The predicted score of the job satisfaction test for the employee is 155.14.

Explanation:

a. Interpret the coefficients in this estimated regression equation.

a-1. Interpretation of the coefficient of x1

From the estimated regression equation, the coefficient of x1 is -8.69. Since the coefficient of x1 is negative, it implies that an increase in the length of service (years) by one year will lead to a reduction in the job satisfaction test score by 8.69.

a-2. Interpretation of the coefficient of x2

From the estimated regression equation, the coefficient of x2 is 13.5. Since the coefficient of x2 is positive, it implies that an increase in the wage rate (dollars) by $1 will lead to an increase in the job satisfaction test score by 13.5.

b. Predict the job satisfaction test score for an employee who has four years of service and makes $13.00 per hour.

Given:

y = 14.4 - 8.69x1 + 13.5x2 ………………… (1)

where

x1 = length of service (years) = 4

x2 = wage rate (dollars) = $13

y = job satisfaction test score = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

y = 14.4 - (8.69 * 4) + (13.5 * 13)

y = 155.14

Therefore, the predicted score of the job satisfaction test for the employee is 155.14.

Think of a business concept that would be appropriate for each of the following:
1) a sole proprietorship
2) a corporation
3) a limited liability company
In your answer address the pros and cons of the business type (sole proprietorship, Corporation, LLC) and why you the believe the business concept you choose best suits that business type. You must list at least 3 pros and 3 cons for each business type.

Answers

Answer:

Sole Proprietorship: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of business would be a roadside Fruit Juice Processing business. This involves different blends of organic fruits being blended into one smooth syrup sometimes called a smoothie.

This type of business is better registered under a Sole Proprietorship because, it is almost always carried out by those who are self-employed.

Pros:

It is easy to set up and has low operational and corporate costIt enjoys zero corporate business taxesthey are not required to submit annual filings

Cons:

The liability is unlimited and unrestricted. This means if there is litigation against the business, the business owner if found culpable will have to defray all amounts due even with his or her personal assets if the business is unable to meet that obligationThis type of business structure will find it difficult to raise money due to the potential liability exposure Also the sole proprietor may be unable to take on business debt

 

2. A Limited Liability Corporation: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of entity is a Fast Food Franchise like Tastee Fried Chicken. This sort of business will involve processing chicken and other kinds of foods into wholesome dishes.

Answer:

Beacon Company

a. The project's accounting rate of return = Net operating income/Initial investment * 100

= $2,690,000/$15,000,000 * 100

= 17.93%

b. The project's payback period =

Initial investment/Net Annual Cash inflow

= $15,000,000/$4,140,000

= 3.62 years

Cash flows             Amount     PV factor    PV

Cash outflows = $15,000,000     1         -$15,000,000

Cash inflows =        4,140,000   6.145       25,440,300

Salvage value           500,000   0.386            193,000

NPV =                                                        $10,633,300

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial investment cost of production facility = $15 million

Estimated useful life of equipment = 10 years

Residual value = $500,000

Annual depreciation expense = $1,450,000 ($15m - $500,000)/10

Net Annual Cash inflows = Net operating income + Depreciation

= $2,690,000 + $1,450,000 = $4,140,000

Huron has provided the following year-end balances: Cash, $29,000 Patents, $7,400 Accounts receivable, $9,400 Property, plant, and equipment, $98,400 Prepaid insurance, $4,100 Accumulated depreciation, $15,000 Inventory, $39,000 Retained earnings, 15,500 Trademarks, $13,100 Accounts payable, $8,000 Goodwill, $16,000 How much are Huron's current assets

= $81,500

Therefore, Hurron's current assets is $81,500.

What is the present value of 4360 to be received at the beginning of each of 30 periods discounted at 5% compound interest

Answers

Answer:

The right solution is "70375.08".

Explanation:

Given that,

Present value,

= 4360

Interest rate,

= 5%

Time period,

= 30

Now,

The present value of inflows will be:

= [tex](1+rate)\times \frac{Present \ value[1-(1+Interest \ rate)^{-time \ period}]}{rate}[/tex]

= [tex]1.05\times 4360\times \frac{[1-(1.05)^{-30}]}{0.05}[/tex]

= [tex]4360\times 16.1410736[/tex]

= [tex]70375.08[/tex]
