explain errors are not detected by a trial balance
Answer:
Errors not detected by a trial balance are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book
3. Compensating Errors
4. Errors of Principle
5. Errors of Omission
Explanation:
The Trial Balance does not provide absolute assurance of ledger account accuracy. It is just an evidence of the postings' arithmetical accuracy. Even though the amount of debits equals the amount of credits, there may be inaccuracies.
A trial balance will not reveal such errors, and they are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account: IF accidentally posted something to the wrong account, but it was on the right side, the Trial Balance agreement will not be affected. For example, if a $200 purchase from John was credited to Joshua instead of John. As a result, Trial Balance will miss such an error.
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book: The Trial Balance will come out appropriately if an invoice for $632 is filed in Sales Book as $623, because the debit and credit have been recorded as $623. The arithmetical precision is there, yet there is a flaw.
3. Compensating Errors: This occurs one mistake is offset by a similar mistake on the other side. These errors are cancelled if one account in the ledger is debited $500 less and another account in the ledger is credited $500 less.
4. Errors of Principle: An errors of Principle is one that breaches the foundations of bookkeeping. Purchases of furniture, for example, are debited to the Purchase Account rather than the Furniture Account; wages paid for the erection of plant are debited to the Wages Account rather than the Plant Account; and the amount spent on a building extension is debited to the Repairs Account rather than the Building Account, and so on. These kind of errors do not alter the total debits and credits, but they do impair the bookkeeping principle.
5. Errors of Omission: There will be no effect on the Trial Balance if a transaction is completely omitted. An error of omission occurs when a transaction is fully unreported in both aspects, or when a transaction is documented in the books of primary entry but never entered in the ledger. For example, if a credit purchase is not recorded in the Purchase Day Book, it will not be posted to both the Purchase Account and the Supplier's Account. This error, on the other hand, will not cause Trial Balance to disagree.

Current Ratio B. Gross Profit Percentage C. Debt Ratio D. Debt to Equity Ratio
Answer:
A. Current Ratio = 5.87
B. Gross Profit Percentage = 49.33%
C. Debt Ratio = 0.31
D. Debt to Equity Ratio = 0.46
Explanation:
The ratios can be calculated for 2021 as follows:
A. Current Ratio
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ………………… (1)
Where:
Current assets = Current assets in 2021 = Cash in 2021 + Accounts Receivable in 2021 + Inventory in 2021 + Prepaid expenses in 2021 = $72,600 + $47,600 + 54,800 + $5,200 = $180,200
Current liabilities = Current liabilities in 2021 = Accounts Payable in 2021 + accrued Liabilities in 2021 = $25,700 + $5,000 = $30,700
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = 180,200 / 30,700 = 5.87
B. Gross Profit Percentage
Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross profit / Sales) * 100 ………………….. (2)
Where:
Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold = $480,000 - $243,200 = $236,800
Sales = $480,000
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Gross Profit Percentage = ($236,800 / $480,000) * 100 = 49.33%
C. Debt Ratio
Debt ratio = Total debts / Total assets …………………………….. (3)
Where:
Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700
Total assets = total assets in 2021 = $224,700
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Debt ratio = $70,700 / $224,700 = 0.31
D. Debt to Equity Ratio
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total debts / Total equity …………………………….. (4)
Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700
Total equity = total equity in 2021 = $154,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Debt to Equity Ratio = $70,700 / $154,000 = 0.46
A company buys a machine for $69,000 that has an expected life of 7 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,300 after taxes of 38%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return
Answer:
9.57%
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return = Annual after tax net income/Average investment
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / ($69,000/2)
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / $34,500
Accounting rate of return = 0.095652174
Accounting rate of return = 9.57%

The company has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6%, and sells for 97% of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5%, and sells for 108% of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $3.25 and the dividend growth rate is 5%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21%. What is the company’s WACC?
TaskMaster Enterprises employs a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. TaskMaster has established the following standards for the prime costs of one unit of product. Standard Standard Standard Quantity Price Cost Direct Materials 9 pounds $ 1.80 per pound $ 16.20 Direct Labor 0.25 hour $ 7.20 per hour 1.80 $ 18.00 During November, TaskMaster purchased 198,000 pounds of direct materials at a total cost of $376,200. The total factory wages for November were $46,000, 90% of which were for direct labor. TaskMaster manufactured 21,000 units of product during November using 170,000 pounds of direct materials and 6,000 direct labor hours. What is the direct labor efficiency variance for November
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $5,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard= Direct Labor 0.25 hour $ 7.20 per hour
Actual= 6,000 hours
Number of units= 21,000
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (21,000*0.25 - 6,000)*7.2
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5,250 - 6,000)*7.2
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $5,400 unfavorable
At the time of his death on July 9, Aiden held rights in the following real estate: Fair Market Value (on July 9) Apartment building $2,100,000 Tree farm 1,500,000 Pastureland 750,000 Residence 900,000 The apartment building was purchased by Chloe, Aiden's mother, and is owned in a joint tenancy with her. The tree farm and pastureland were gifts from Chloe to Aiden and his two sisters. The tree farm is held in joint tenancy, and the pastureland is owned as tenants in common. Aiden purchased the residence and owns it with his wife as tenants by the entirety. Compute Aiden's gross estate based on the scenarios:
Answer:
The answer is [tex]\$1,200,000[/tex]"".
Explanation:
[tex]\to [\$500,000 (\frac{1}{3} \times \$1,500,000) + \$250,000 (\frac{1}[3} \times \$750,000 + \$450,000 (\frac{1}[2} \times \$900,000]\\\\\\to \$1,200,000[/tex]
Though this tree farm is jointly held, Aiden is assumed to have given 1/3 of the treatment because his mother gave her a gift to create the lease. The tenancy of the major chunk is subjected to the fifty percent spouse exclusion rule. None of the structures is included as Chloe does not escape Aiden.

Given Advanced Company's data, and the knowledge that the product is sold for $71 per unit and operating expenses are $300,000. Compute the net income under absorption costing.
Answer:
$183,000
Explanation:
Advanced Company
Income Statement for the year - absorption costing
Sales ($71 x 21,000 units) $1,491,000
Less Cost of Sales ($1,008,000)
Gross Profit $483,000
Less Expenses
Operating expenses ($300,000)
Net Income $183,000
where,
Cost of Sales = Units Sold x Product Cost
= 21,000 x $48
= $1,008,000
Product Cost = all manufacturing costs (absorption costing)
= $19 + $21 + $3 + ($175,000 ÷ 35,000)
= $48

From a firm's viewpoint, opportunity cost is the best alternative use customers can find for the firm's output. price a firm can charge for its output. cost the firm must pay for the factors of production it employs to attract them from their best alternative use. accounting cost of resources. cost of acquiring the opportunity to sell to its customers.
Answer:
cost the firm must pay for the factors of production it employs to attract them from their best alternative use.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.
Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
From a firm's viewpoint, opportunity cost is cost the firm must pay for the factors of production it employs to attract them from their best alternative use.
Malibu Corporation has monthly fixed costs of $59,000. It sells two products for which it has provided the following information. Sales Price Contribution Margin Product 1 $ 15 $ 9 Product 2 20 4 a. What total monthly sales revenue is required to break even if the relative sales mix is 30 percent for Product 1 and 70 percent for Product 2
Answer:
$184,375
Explanation:
The computation of the monthly sales revenue that needed to be break even is given below:
Here we assume the sales be x
0.18x + 0.14x = $59,000
0.32x = $59,000
x = $59,000 ÷ 0.32
= $184,375
The 0.18x come from
= ($9) ÷ ($15) × 0.30x
= 0.18x
And, the 0.14x come from
= ($2) ÷ ($20) × 0.70x
= 0.14x
New Line Cinema is considering producing a new movie. To evaluate the proposal, the company needs to calculate its cost of capital. The firm has collected the following information:
a. The company wants to maintain is current capital structure, which is 20% equity, 20% preferred stock and 60% debt.
b. The firm has marginal tax rate of 34%.
c. The firm's preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $4.3 forever, and each share is currently worth $135.26.
d. The firm has one bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6%, paid semiannually, 10 years to maturity, a face value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,163.51.
e. The company's beta is 0.8, the yield on Treasury bonds is is 0.6% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 6%.
f. The current stock price is $39.17. The firm has just paid an annual dividend of $1.13, which is expected to grow by 4% per year.
g. The firm uses a risk premium of 3% for the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach.
h. New preferred stock and bonds would be issued by private placement, largely eliminating flotation costs. New equity would come from retained earnings, thus eliminating flotation costs.
Required:
a. What is the cost of equity using the bond yield plus risk premium?
b. What is the midpoint of the range for the cost of equity?
c. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital?
Answer:
a.
7.00%
b.
5.96%
c.
1.20%
Explanation:
a.
First and foremost, we need to determine the yield to maturity on the bond, using a financial calculator as shown thus:
The financial calculator should be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=20(number of semiannual coupons in 10 years=10*2=20)
PMT=30(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*/2=$1000*6%/2=$30)
PV=-1163.51(current price=$1,163.51)
FV=1000(face value of the bond=$1000)
CPT
I/Y=2.00%(semiannual yield=2%, annnual yield=2.00%*2=4.00%)
bond yield plus risk premium=bond yield(4.00%)+ risk premium(3%)
bond yield plus risk premium=7.00%
b.
In determining the midpoint range is the maximum plus minimum cost of equity divided by 2
Let us determine cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Constant Dividend Growth Model
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected return on the market portfolio-risk-free rate)
risk-free rate=yield on Treasury bonds= 0.6%

Current liabilities 1,144,000 1,144,000
Average inventory 1,658,800 1,487,200
FIFO:
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
= $3,603,600/$1,144,000 = 3.15
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $2,230,800/$1,658,800
= 1.34
Rate of return on operating assets = Net income/Total assets * 100
= $686,400/$5,720,000 * 100
= 12%
LIFO:
Current ratio = $3,260,400/$1,144,000
= 2.85
Inventory turnover ratio = $2,574,000/$1,487,200
= 1.73
Rate of return on operating assets = $686,400/$5,376,800 * 100
= 12.8%

A buyer's closing statement shows different items, including a purchase price of $58,325, an assumable mortgage of $55,000, a survey fee of $250, total debits of $59,925.25, title insurance of $395, 1% loan origination fee, total credits of $58,295, 2% for discount points, contract deposit of $3,000, and rent prorations of $495. Based on this information, how much money does the buyer need to bring to the closing
Answer:
$1,630.25
Explanation:
The computation of the money does the buyer required to bring the closing is given below;
= Total debits - total credits
= $59,925.25 - $58,295
= $1,630.25
The difference of total debits and total credits deemed to be the amount required to bring to the closing
Hence, the answer is $1,630.25
the total surface area of hemisphere is 4158sq then what is the circumference of the base
Answer:
C = 132 units
Explanation:
Given the following data;
TSA of hemisphere = 4158 sq units
To find the circumference of the base;
Mathematically, the total surface area of a hemisphere is given by the formula;
TSA of hemisphere = 3πr²
First of all, we would determine the radius of the hemisphere.
4158 = 3 * 22/7 * r²
Cross-multiplying, we have;
4158 * 7 = 3 * 22 * r²
29106 = 66r²
r² = 29106/66
r² = 441
Taking the square root of both sides, we have;
r = √441
r = 21 units
Next, we determine the circumference of the base using the same radius;
Circumference of circle, C = 2πr
C = 2 * 22/7 * 21
C = 924/7
C = 132 units

Paradise Corporation budgets on an annual basis for its fiscal year. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned for next year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Raw material* 30,000 40,000 Finished goods 70,000 60,000 * Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product. If Paradise Corporation plans to sell 510,000 units during next year, the number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:
Answer:
500,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information,
Beginning inventory = 70,000 units
Ending inventory = 60,000 units
Sales = 510,000 units
We will make use of the formula below to calculate the production required.
Production = Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory
Production = 510,000 + 60,000 - 70,000
Production = 500,000 units
The following information relates to the only product sold by Harper Company. Sales price per unit $ 45 Variable cost per unit 27 Fixed costs per year 247,000 a. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the dollar sales volume required to break even. b. Assuming that the company sells 20,000 units during the current year, compute the margin of safety (in dollars).
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a.
For Contribution Margin ratio
We know that
Contribution margin per unit = Sale price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $45 - $27
= $18
Now
Contribution margin ratio = Contibution Margin per unit ÷ Sale price per unit
= $18 ÷ $45
= 0.4
Now
Break even sales dollar
Break even sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $247,000 ÷ 0.4
= $617,500
b.
For Margin of Safety
The Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break Even Sales
where,
Actual sales(in $) = 20000 × 45
= $900,000
So, Margin of safety is
= $900,000 - $617,500
= $282,500

According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;
1. Core benefit.
2. Generic product.
3. Expected product.
4. Augmented product.
5. Potential product.
The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.
