On January 1, 2021, Pine Corporation signed a five-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Pine to make annual payments of $800,000 at the beginning of each year for five years beginning on January 1, 2021 with the title passing to Pine at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Pine uses the straight- line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Pine accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $3,335,888 at an effective interest rate of 10%. In 2021, Pine should record interest expense of:______.
a. 333,589
b. 253,589
c. 466,411
d. 546,411
Answer:
b. 253,589
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Present value of lease payment = $3,335,888
Payment in 2021 = $800,000
Interest rate = 10%
So, we can calculate the interest expense by using following formula,
Interest expense = (Present value of lease payment - Payment in 2021 ) × interest rate
Interest expense = ($3,335,888 - $800,000) × 10%
= $2,535,888 × 10%
= $253,588.8 or $253,589
In 2021, Pine should record interest expense of $253,589
The Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments, Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department had 3,840 liters in beginning work in process inventory (30% complete). During the period 64,880 liters were completed. The ending work in process was 5,160 liters (70% completed). All inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method. What is the total equivalent units for direct materials (using the FIFO method) if materials were added at the beginning of the process
Answer:
Total equivalent units of materials = 64,652
Explanation:
Equivalent units are useful to apportion cost between work in progress and completed units. They are notional whole units which represent incomplete work
Equivalent Units = Degree of work completed (%) × inventory units
Fully worked = 64,880- 3,840= 61,040
Items units workings Equivalent units
Opening inventory 3,840 3840× 70% = 2,688
Fully worked 61,040 61,040× 100 = 61,040
Closing WIP 5,160 5,160× 70% = 3,612
Total equivalent units of materials 64,652
Total equivalent units of materials =64,652

Baskin Promotions, Incorporated sells T-shirts decorated for a variety of concert performers. The company has developed the following budget for the coming year based on a sales forecast of 77,000 T-shirts: Sales $ 1,345,190 Cost of Goods Sold 786,940 Gross Profit 558,250 Operating Expenses ($100,000 is fixed) 406,460 Operating Income 151,790 Income Taxes (30% of operating income) 45,537 Net Income $ 106,253 Cost of goods sold and variable operating expenses vary directly with sales, and the income tax rate is 30% at all levels of operating income. If the concert season is slow due to poor weather, Baskin estimates that sales could fall to as low as 57,000 T-shirts. What unit cost did Baskin use in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year
Answer:
$10.22
Explanation:
The computation of the unit cost used in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year is shown below;
= Cost of goods sold ÷ number of t-shirts
= $786,940 ÷ 77,000 shirts
= $10.22
By dividing the number of t-shirts from the cost of goods sold we can get the cost of goods sold per unit
hence, the answer is $10.22

Second-degree price discrimination: Multiple Choice results in transfer pricing. None of the answers are correct. is the practice of posting a discrete schedule of declining prices for different ranges of quantities. eliminates the problem of double marginalization.
Answer:
is the practice of posting a discrete schedule of declining prices for different ranges of quantities
Explanation:
In the case of the second degree price discrimination, the firm should chares the different kinds of the prices as per the quantity demanded i.e. if the large quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the less price and if the small quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the high prices. The motive behind this is to motivate the bulk sales that means when the buyer purchased the products in bulk so he will get the high discounts
Therefore the third option is correct

Part U67 is used in one of Broce Corporation's products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 15,400 units of the part that are needed every year.
Per Unit
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Depreciation of special equipment $7.70
Allocated general overhead $4.80
An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.00 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $21,400 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided.
Required:
a. Prepare a report that shows the financial impact of buying part U67 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
b. Which alternative should the company choose?
Answer:
Broce Corporation
a. The Financial Impact of Buying Part U67 is as follows:
Differential Analysis:
Cost of buying from supplier = $415,800 (15,400 * $27)
Avoidable cost of making = 303,220
Differential cost for buying = $112,500
b. The company should choose to continue to produce the part internally.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production units for the year = 15,400
Per Unit Costs:
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30

Outside supplier's offer per unit = $27
Avoidable costs:
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Total avoidable variable costs $18.30 * 15,400 = $281,820
General overhead costs 21,400
Total avoidable costs = $303,220
Differential Analysis:
Cost of buying from supplier = $415,800 (15,400 * $27)
Avoidable cost of making = 303,220
Differential cost for buying = $112,500
Although the Fed has very strong influence over the money supply, it does not have complete control a.Because the Fed has no idea how much reserves will change when it buys or sells securities. b.Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend. c.Because of unpredictable changes in reserve requirements. d.Because the FOMC meets only twice a year.
Answer: b. Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend.
Explanation:
The Fed is able to embark on monetary policy that influences the entire country - and the world to some extent - because they have very strong influence over the money supply of the US$.
This influence is not absolute however because as the old adage goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". In other words, the Fed can relax(impose) restrictions to make money more(less) available but they cannot force people to borrow(hold) that money.
They can't force banks either to either hold reserves or lend money out because banks are free to impose their own reserve limits on top of those of the Fed.
Dennis wants to determine if the discount rate really makes any difference in the net present value of a project. He feels that if a project is acceptable at one rate of return, it will be acceptable at all rates of return. To explain why his thinking is incorrect, you are creating an example to illustrate your point. The cash flows you are using are as follows: time zero is -$71,000, years 1 through 4 are $17,500 each, and years 5 and 6 are $22,500 each. What is net present value at a discount rate of 12 percent and 17 percent
Answer:
$6319,92
$-3959.52
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -$71,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 2 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 3 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 4 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 5 = $22,500
Cash flow in year 6 = $22,500
NPV when I is 12% = $6319,92
NPV when I is 17% = $-3959.52
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Answer: c. a decision-making entity at a firm involved in a strategic game
Explanation:
In a theoretical game, there are two players that have to embark on different strategies such that they make the maximum payoff. This maximum payoff strategy is known as the dominant strategy.
These two players are the decision making entities in the firms that are competing in the game because they are the ones that decide how the firm should react and what strategy to use. For instance, the owners of the two bakeries down the street are the players because they control what either bakery will do.
Nelson Won wants to withdraw $25,000 (including principal) from an investment fund at the end of each year for five years. How should he compute his required initial investment at the beginning of the first year if the fund earns 10% compounded annually
Answer:
Initial Investment= $94,769.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $25,000
Interest rate (i)= 10%
Number of periods (n)= 5 years
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 25,000*{(1/0.1) - 1/[0.1*(1.1^5)]}
PV= $94,769.7

The account has a normal debit balance and is reported on the balance sheet. The account has a normal credit balance and is reported on the income statement. The account has a normal debit balance and is reported on the income statement.
Answer: The account has a normal credit balance and is reported on the balance sheet.
Explanation:
The allowance for doubtful accounts refers to the amount of account receivable that the company believes will not be paid by the customers. It is referred to as the bad debt reserve as well.
The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the accounts receivable. It also has a normal credit balance and is reported on the balance sheet.
In a statement of cash flows using the indirect method, an increase in the available-for-sale debt securities account due to an increase in the debt's fair value should be reported as: Group of answer choices A deduction from net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. Not reported. An investing activity. An addition to net income in determining cash flows from operating activities.
Answer: Not reported.
Explanation:
The Indirect method includes Net income in its calculation but this would not include any increase in Available-For-Sale (AFS) debt securities as these fall under other comprehensive income in the balance sheet.
Most importantly, the indirect method of calculating the cash the company has is for calculating just that, the cash. This means that an increase in the AFS security due to its fair value increasing will bring in no additional cash to the company so it is not reported in the cash flow statement.
UML Foods reported $940 million in income before income taxes for 2020, its first year of operations. Tax depreciation exceeded depreciation for financial reporting purposes by $120 million. The company also had non-tax-deductible expenses of $80 million relating to permanent differences. The income tax rate for 2020 was 35%, but the enacted rate for years after 2020 is 30%. The balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet is:
Answer:
$36,000,000
Explanation:
Note: Permanent differences have no impact on deferred taxes.
Deferred tax liability = $120 million * 30%
Deferred tax liability = $120 million * 0.30
Deferred tax liability = $36,000,000
So, the balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet is $36,000,000.
You are considering buying one of two types of health insurance, both with the same premium. You guess that in the next year there is a 1 percent chance of serious illness that will cost you $67,500 in health care, a 9 percent chance of a moderate illness that will cost you $2,500, and a 90 percent chance of regular health care needs that will cost you $500. One type of health insurance is emergency-only coverage; it will cover your expenses for serious illness but not moderate illness or regular care. The other type covers moderate illness and regular expenses, but its payout is capped, so it will not cover the cost of a serious illness.
Required:
a. What is the expected value of payouts from the emergency-only insurance? $.
b. What is the expected value of payouts from the capped-coverage insurance? $.
c. Which is the more risk-averse option?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The expected value of payout arise from emergency is
= 0.01 × $67,500
= $675
b. The expected value of payout arise from capped coverage insuance is
= (0.9 × $500) + (0.09 × $2,500)
= $675
c. The risk averse shows the minimum exposure with respect to the swings of the income or there would be the loss in the income. Since the payout amount is same in both the cases so here we considered option B
palmer corp is considering the purchase of new equipment the cost savings from the equipment would result in the annual increase income after tax of 133500 the equipment will have an initial cost of 534000 and have a 7 year life is the salvage value estimated to be 9000 what is estimated to be the payback period
Answer:
Payback period= 4 years
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes
the net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost.
Where a project is expected to generate a series of equal annual net cash inflow, the payback period can be calculated as:
The initial invest /Net cash inflow per year
So the payback period for project X
= $534,000/133,500
= 4 years
Payback period= 4 years

Assume that a profit-maximizing firm which competes in a purely competitive product industry has only two factor inputs, labor and capital, and that resource prices remain constant. This firm finds that the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) when divided by the price for labor (MRC) is less than one. The firm also finds that the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one. If this firm wishes to produce the same amount of output with these two resources, but minimize the cost of output, this firm must employ:________
a. less labor and more capital
b. more capital
c. more labor and capital
d. less labor
e. more labor and less capital
Answer: a. less labor and more capital
Explanation:
When the Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRP) is divided by the price for labor (MRC), the result is less than 1. This means that for every dollar spent on labor, labor produces less than a dollar. The labor is therefore not efficient.
This is the reverse for capital where the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one which means that for every dollar investment in capital, more than a dollar is made.
As capital is more efficient, it would make sense to invest more in capital whilst reducing the investment in labor as this would lead to more gain for the company.

2. Computation to determine the average product cost of one patio set.
Using this formula
Average product cost of one patio set =(Direct costs +Indirect costs)/Capacity set per year
Let plug in the formula
Average product cost of one patio set=($212,000+$94,000)/2,000 sets
Average product cost of one patio set =$306,000/2,000 sets
Average product cost of one patio set = $153 per set
Therefore The Average product cost of one patio set will be $153 per set
3. In a situation were the production drops I Would expect the average product cost per set to INCREASE, reason been that the fixed costs would extend over few units which will inturn cause the average cost per unit to increase.
Suppose you can only invest in the stock markets of two countries: US and China. The US has an expected return of 5.0% and a standard deviation of 15.0%. China has an expected return of 7.0% and a standard deviation of 22.0%. The correlation between the returns in the two markets is 0.3. The risk-free rate is 3.0%. What is the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain (rounded to the nearest 0.001)
Answer:
The maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.
Explanation:
Sharpe ratio = (Stock's expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation …………… (1)
Therefore, we have:
Sharpe ratio of the US stock market = (5.0% - 3.0%) / 15.0% = 0.133
Sharpe ratio of China stock market = (7.0% - 3.0%) / 22.0% = 0.182
Since you can only invest in the stock markets of US and China, and the Sharpe ratio of China stock market of 0.182 is greater than the Sharpe ratio of the stock market of 0.133, this implies that the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.

b) Depreciation is added back to the net income. Increases in current assets are cash outflows, reducing cash flows, while decreases are cash inflows, increasing cash flows. On the other hand, increases in current liabilities are cash inflows, increasing cash flows, while decreases are cash outflows, reducing cash flows.
