Answer:
B. Prepaid Expenses increase decrease
Explanation:
When the net income would be converted to net cash provided by operating activities so the above answer would be held incorrect
As the correct adjustment would be when there is decrease in the prepaid expense so the same would be added to the net income and when it increased so the same would be deducted from the net income
Therefore, the option b is correct
Hence, the other options would be incorrect
The daily operations of a corporation involved in producing and selling its product, generating revenues, as well as fundamental management and software maintenance, are referred to as operating activities. Fabrication, marketing, promotion, and branding are all important aspects of a company's operations.
The correct answer that is not in the context of the operating activities is B. Prepaid Expenses increase decrease
When net income is converted to net cash generated by operational operations, the answer given above is erroneous.
As the appropriate correction, when the prepaid expense lowers, it is credited to the net revenue, and when it grows, it is removed from the net earnings.
Therefore, option b is the correct answer.

Yolo Company, which has excess capacity (i.e. it doesn't have to give up producing and selling products in the normal market if it accepts a special order), received a special order for 4,500 units at a price of $16 per unit. Currently, production and sales are anticipated to be 11,000 units without considering the special order. Budget information for the current year follows. Sales $ 231,000 Less: Cost of Goods Sold 165,000 Gross Margin $ 66,000 Cost of goods sold includes $44,000 of fixed manufacturing cost. If the special order is accepted, the company's income will:
Answer:
$22,500 increase
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Variable cost per unit is
= ($165,000 - $44,000) ÷ 11,000 units
= $11
And, the Sales price per unit is $16
So, the Profit per unit is
= $16 - $11
= $5 per unit
Now the company income would be
= 4,500 units × $5 per unit
= $22,500 increase
Hence, the company income would be increased by $22,500
Question 4
Write a short essay about Controlling Inventory".
Explanation:
The necessity of inventory control is to maintain a reserve (store) of goods that will ensure manufacturing according to the production plan based on sales requirements and the lowest possible ultimate cost.
Losses from improper inventory control include purchases in excess than what needed, the cost of slowed up production resulting from material not being available when wanted. Each time a machine is shut down for lack of materials or each time sale is postponed or cancelled for lack of finished goods. Thus a factory loses money.
To promote smooth factory operation and to prevent piling up of stock or idle machine time proper quantity of material must be on hand when it is wanted. Proper inventory control can reduce such losses to a great extent.
Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 11,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 26,000 units per month. At the 11,000-unit-per-month level of production, the per-unit cost is $46, consisting of $30 in variable costs and $16 in fixed costs. Burns sells its saws to retail stores for $71 each. Allen Distributors has offered to purchase 4,100 saws per month at a reduced price. Burns can manufacture these additional units with no change in its present level of fixed manufacturing costs. Using an incremental analysis approach, Burns should consider accepting this special order only if the price per unit offered by Allen is at least: Multiple Choice $16. $46. $71. $30. qizket
Answer:
Selling price= $30
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary cost:
Variable= $30
Fixed= $16
Number of units= 4,100
Normally, when there is unused capacity and a new customer asks for a reduced price, the fixed cost should not be taken into account when calculating the selling price. The company benefits from increasing its sales, acquiring a new customer, and perhaps getting some discounts from suppliers in the variable components.
The lower price that the company accepts is the one that equals the unitary variable cost. In this case:
Selling price= $30

You are upgrading to better production equipment for your firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time. Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by over the current amount of units. If your sales price is per unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade?
Answer:
$473,760
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade
Using this formula
Incremental revenues= Units* Percentage Increase in total sales*Sales price
Let plug in the formula
Incremental revenues=94000 units* 24% * $21
Incremental revenues= $473,760
Therefore the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade will be $473,760
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.3 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. Whatare the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
$2,421,220
Explanation:
Calculation to determine incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine
First step is to calculate The cost of depreciation
Cost of depreciation= $10,4000,00 + $46,000/ 5
Cost of depreciation= $2,089,200
Now let calculate the Incremental free cash flows
Incremental free cash flows = ( $3.9 million - $1,300,000) * (1 - 0.35) + $2,089,200* 0.35
Incremental free cash flows = $1,690,000 + $731,220
Incremental free cash flows=$2,421,220
Therefore the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine is $2,421,220.

The installation includes programming the remote to have the TV interface with other parts of the customer's home entertainment system. VP concludes that the TV, remote, and installation service are separate performance obligations. VP sells the 60-inch TV separately for $1,700, sells the remote separately for $100, and offers the installation service separately for $200. The entire package sells for $1,900.
Required: How much revenue would be allocated to the TV, the remote, and the installation service?
Answer:
Video Planet (VP)
The revenue that would be allocated to the TV, the remote, and the installation service:
TV = $1,615
Remote = $95
Installation service = $190
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales price of 60-inch TV = $1,700
Sales price of remote = $100
Installation service = $200
Total sales price, if sold separately = $2,000
Sales price of entire package = $1,900
Revenue allocated to the 3 performance obligations:
TV = $1,700/$2,000 * $1,900 = $1,615
Remote = $100/$2,000 * $1,900 = $95
Installation service = $200/$2,000 * $1,900 = $190
Total revenue allocated = $1,900

On December 31, 2020, the Bennett Company had 100,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, 2021, the company sold 18,000 additional shares for cash. Bennett's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $650,000. During 2021, Bennett declared and paid $71,000 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share
Answer:
$5.31
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding
where,
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :
Net Income $650,000
Less Preference Stock dividend ($71,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $579,000
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :
Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding 100,000
Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2) 9,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding 109,000
therefore,
Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷ 109,000
= $5.31
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.
Once the adjusting entries are posted, the adjusted trial balance is prepared to a. verify that the debits and credits are in balance b. verify that the net income (loss) is correct for the period c. verify the correct flow of accounts into the financial statements d. verify that the net income correctly flows into the statement of stockholders' equity from the income statement
Answer:
a. verify that the debits and credits are in balance
Explanation:
A periodic system of inventory can be defined as a method of financial accounting, that typically involves updating informations about an inventory on a periodic basis (at specific intervals) as the sales or purchases are being made by the customers, through the use of either an enterprise management software applications or a digitized point-of-sale equipment.
On the other hand, a perpetual inventory system is a type of inventory management that continuously records in real-time the amount of inventory sold or purchased through the use of enterprise software or technological software applications such as a point of sale (POS).
A journal entry involves the process of keeping the records of business transactions made by an organization.
The journal entry is used by bookkeepers and accountants. Ideally, it is important that a journal has all of following informations; date, reference number, debit balance, credit balance and transaction description.
In Accounting, most businesses use a double-entry account system and as such, the total amount debited must equal the total amount credited in a journal entry.
Once the adjusting entries are posted, the adjusted trial balance is prepared to verify that the debits and credits are in balance.
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?
Which of the following two ARMs is likely to be priced higher, that is, offered with a higher initial interest rate?
a. ARM A has a margin of 3 percent and is tied to a three-year index with payments adjustable every two years; payments cannot increase by more than 10 percent from the preceding period; the term is 30 years.
b. ARM B has a margin of 3 percent and is tied to a one-year index with payments to be adjusted each year; payments cannot increase by more than 10 percent from the preceding period; the term is 30 years.
Answer: ARM A
Explanation:
The issuers of Adjustable-Rate Mortgage adjust its rate based on a certain index in the market, the purpose of which is to reflect the current cost being incurred by the issuer for loaning out money.
Both these mortgages are similar in everything except the index period. ARM A has a longer index period which means that it is expose to more forward rates and as the yield curve is generally upward trending(interest rates are higher in future), ARM A will be offered at a higher interest rate.

Explanation:
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
