Answer:
Dunne Co.1. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the first-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:
a) Inventory, June 30 = $32,864 (26 x $1,264)
b) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory = $310,776 ($343,640 - $32,864)
2. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the last-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:
a) Inventory, June 30 = $31,240
Beginning Inventory 25 units at $1,200 = $30,000
Purchase on April 8, 1 unit at $1,240 1,240
Total Ending Inventory $31,240
b)Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory
= $311,400 ($343,640 - $32,240)
3. Determination of the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the weighted average cost method and the periodic inventory system. Note: Round the weighted average unit cost to the nearest dollar and final answers to the nearest dollar:
a) Inventory, June 30 = $32,500 (26 x $1,250)
b) Cost of goods sold = $311,250 (249 x $1,250)
4. Comparison of the Gross Profit and June 30 inventories using the following column headings:
FIFO LIFO Weighted Average
Sales $525,250 $525,250 $525,250
Cost of goods sold -310,776 -311,400 -311,150
Gross profit $214,474 $213,850 $214,100
Inventory, June 30 $32,864 $31,240 $32,489.60
Explanation:
a) Data on Purchase and Sale Transactions with the Quarter:
Date Transaction Number of Units Per Unit Total
In Out Cost Sales
Apr. 3 Inventory 25 $1,200 $30,000
8 Purchase 75 1,240 93,000
11 Sale 40 2,000 80,000
30 Sale 30 2,000 60,000
May 8 Purchase 60 1,260 75,600
10 Sale 50 2,000 100,000
19 Sale 20 2,000 40,000
28 Purchase 80 1,260 100,800
June 5 Sale 40 2,250 90,000
16 Sale 25 2,250 56,250
21 Purchase 35 1,264 44,240
28 Sale 44 2,250 99,000
b) Goods Available 275 $343,640
Cost of goods sold 249 See calculations
Sales 249 $525,250
Ending Inventory 26 See Calculations
c) Average cost of goods = Cost of goods available for sale/Quantity of goods available for sale = $343,640/275 = $1,249.60
d) Under the periodic inventory system:
1) FIFO assumes that the goods bought first are sold first.
2) LIFO assumes that the goods bought last are sold first
3) Weighted Average takes for granted that the cost of goods available for sale and inventory can be determined with the weighted average.
Using the period inventory system, it is when physical count is taken of inventory that one can estimate its value. Unlike the perpetual inventory system, the periodic inventory system waits till a financial period ends to value stock. The results for ending inventory under the weighted average method, using the perpetual inventory system differs from the results under the same method, using the periodic inventory system.
Video Planet (VP) sells a big screen TV package consisting of a 60-inch plasma TV, a universal remote, and on-site installation by VP staff. 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 $1,810 and sells the remote separately for $130, and offers the entire package for $2,020. VP does not sell the installation service separately. VP is aware that other similar vendors charge $180 for the installation service. VP also estimates that it incurs approximately $130 of compensation and other costs for VP staff to provide the installation service. VP typically charges 40% above cost on similar sales.
Required:
Calculate the stand-alone price of the installation service using each of the following approaches.
1. adjusted market assessment
2. expected cost plus margin
3. residual
Answer:
1. The stand-alone price for installation service using adjusted market assessment is $180
2. The stand-alone price for installation service using expected cost plus margin is $182
3. The stand-alone price for installation service using residual is $182
Explanation:
1. According to the given data the market price at which similar vendors charge installation service should be taken as the stand-alone price which is $180
Therefore, The stand-alone price for installation service using adjusted market assessment is $180
2. The stand-alone price of the installation service using expected cost plus margin would be a follows:
Stan−alone price=Estimated Cost+Estimated margin
=$130+(40%×$130)
=$182
Therefore, The stand-alone price for installation service using expected cost plus margin is $182
3. The stand-alone price of the installation service using residual would be a follows:
Stand−alone price=Total transaction price−Stand−alone price for T.V−
−Stand−alone price for compensation and other costs
=$2,020−$1,810−$130
=$80
Therefore, The stand-alone price for installation service using residual is $182
When the price of good A is $50, the quantity demanded of good A is 500 units. When the price of good A rises to $70, the quantity demanded of good A falls to 400 units. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for good A is
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = -0.6667
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand for a good, using the midpoint method is calculated as:
[tex]E=\frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1)/2]}[/tex]
Where Q1 is the quantity demanded when the price is P1 and Q2 is the quantity demanded when the price is P2.
Replacing, Q1 by 500, P1 by 50, Q2 by 400 and P2 by 70, we get that the price elasticity of demand for good A is:
[tex]E=\frac{(400-500)/[(400+500)/2]}{(70-50)/[(70+50)/2]}\\E=-0.6667[/tex]
A company received a bank statement showing a balance of $78,000. Reconciling items included outstanding checks of $2,400 and a deposit in transit of $9,400. What is the company's adjusted bank balance
Answer:
Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000
Explanation:
Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.
To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.
For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:
Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)
Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000
Note:
outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)
deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.
Corcoran Corp. pays a constant $7.10 dividend on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 10 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 11 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
Explanation:
Corcoran Corp. pays a constant $7.10 dividend on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 10 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 11 percent, what is the current share price
Given that:
Dividend = $7.10 dividend on its stock
Rate r = 11 percent
The company will maintain this dividend for the next 10 years
[tex]\texttt {Current share price}=\texttt {Dividend}\times(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-r}}{r} )[/tex]
[tex]=\$ 7.10\times(\frac{1-(1+0.11)^{-10}}{0.11} )\\\\=\$7.10\times(\frac{1-(1.11)^{-10}}{0.11} )\\\\=\$7.10\times\frac{(1-0.3522)}{0.11}\\\\=\$7.10\times\frac{0.6478}{0.11}\\\\=\$ 7.10 \times5.889\\\\=\$41.81[/tex]
Tammy wishes to purchase a new laptop in 4 years. She makes quarterly deposits of $130 into an account that pays 4% per year compounded quarterly for 4 years. How much will she have towards the purchase of a new laptop in 4 years?
Answer:
FV= $2,243.52
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods= 4*4= 16
Quarterly deposit= $130
Interest rate= 4%
First, we need to calculate the quarterly interest rate:
Interest rate= 0.04/4= 0.01
Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the final value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {130*[(1.01^16) - 1]} / 0.01
FV= $2,243.52

At Jamal's Juices, each smoothie requires 16 oz of juice, which costs $0.15/oz. It takes 0.10 hrs of direct labor to make smoothies, at $9.35 per DLH. Variable overhead costs $1.15/smoothie, and fixed costs total $98,000 per year. They expect to produce 72,000 smoothies next year. Calculate the manufacturing overhead budget for next yea
Answer:
direct materials = 16 oz x $0.15 per oz = $2.40
direct labor = $9.35 x 0.10 hrs = $0.94
variable overhead = $1.15 per smoothie
fixed costs = $98,000
estimated production per year = 72,000

Variable manufacturing overhead $1.15 $82,800
Fixed manufacturing overhead $1.3611 $98,000
Total $2.5111 $180,800
Generally the budget would be more specific, e.g. which costs are included under variable MOH or fixed MOH, but in this case we only should include the total variable and fixed costs.
Murray Company reports net income of $731,000 for the year. It has no preferred stock, and its weighted-average common shares outstanding is 340,000 shares. Compute its basic earnings per share.
Answer:
$2.15 Per share
Explanation:
The earnings per share (EPS) shows the earning per each common shares. It can be calculated as the below
EPS= (Net Income- Preferred Dividend) / Weighted Average common share outstanding
EPS= $731,000 - $0 / $340,000
EPS= $731,000 / $340,000
EPS= $2.15 Per share
The basic earnings per share is $2.15
A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answer:
$327,909.14
Explanation:
Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.
First step
The Investment cost will be:
Land costs $300,000
Building costs $600,000
Equipment costs $250,000
Additional working capital $100,000
=$1,250,000
Annual revenue $750,000
Annual expenses$475,000
Market value:
$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000
N: 10 year
MARR: 15% per year
Using PW method
-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)
-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000
Hence,
=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)
= $327,909.14

A manager creates a policy document that lists the policy name, identifying information, and the operational policy. When she gets to the section marked "roles and responsibilities," she is uncertain if she should include the names of the individuals assigned to the roles and responsibilities, but decides ultimately that she will because these individuals were newly appointed and have played an active role in reviewing and providing feedback on the policy. Which of the following statements is an accurate assessment of this manager’s choice to include the names of the individuals?a. the manager made the right choice to include the names of the individuals in the policy because it is highly unlikely that newly appointed employees will leave the company anytime soon. b. the manager should have postponed her decision to include the names until after she consulted the hr department. c. the manager should not have included the names because even though they were newly appointed, individuals join and leave and the company. d. the manager should have waited to include the individuals' names until she received verification that their contracts would be renewed.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
the manager should not have included the names because even though they were newly appointed, individuals join and leave and the company.
The manager made a mistake including the names of the individuals assigned to the roles and responsibilities, because these individuals were newly appointed and although they have played an active role in reviewing and providing feedback on the policy people join companies at anytime and also have the choice of leaving whenever they want.
Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year note required annual payments of $325,545 and carried an annual interest rate of 9.5%. What is the amount of expense Collins must recognize on its 2017 income statement
Answer:
Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.
If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823
Explanation:
According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.
Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.
When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:
Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.
= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is
= $593, 750/5
= $118,750
2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.
That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%
For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:
= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%
= $924, 455 * 9.5%
= $87,823 (approximately)

Cole Corporation was organized on January 1, Year 1. The company was authorized to issue 100,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. During the year, the company had the following transactions relating to stockholders’ equity: Issued 40,000 shares of common stock at $8 per share. Reported a net income of $60,000. Paid dividends of $30,000. Purchased 5,000 shares of treasury stock at $10 per share. What is total stockholders’ equity at the end of Year 1? Multiple Choice a) $300,000 b) $350,000 c) $400,000 d) $460,000
Answer: a)$300,000
Explanation:
Stockholders Equity shows just how much of the company is being financed by the shareholders. It is calculated by,
Total Stockholders Equity for the Year = Issued and Outstanding Shares + Retained Earnings - Treasury Stock
Retained Earnings = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividends
First year of operation so no Opening Retained Earnings.
= $0 + 60,000 - $30,000
= $30,000
Total Stockholders Equity for the Year = (40,000* $8) + $30,000 - (5,000 * 10)
= 320,000 + 30,000 - 50,000
= $300,000
At December 31, Amy Jo's Appliances had account balances in Accounts Receivable of $302,000 and in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $640 (credit) before any adjustments. An analysis of Amy Jo's December 31 accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 5% of accounts receivable. Bad debt expense for the year should be:
Answer:
$870
Explanation:
When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.
To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.
Allowance for uncollectible accounts at 5%
= 5% * $302,000
= $1,510
Since the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts was $640 (credit) before any adjustments, the bad debt expense for the year
= $1,510 - $640
= $870

Question 3 Company AB has a market value of GH¢50 million. Company CD has a market value of GH¢200 million. CD has determined that if it combines resources with AB, cost savings will be worth GH¢25 million today. On this basis CD makes an offer to buy AB. If CD makes a cash offer of GH¢65 million for all the shares of AB, what is the cost of this purchase to CD?
(i) What are the gains of this transaction?
(ii) Suppose CD has issued 100 of its shares to its shareholders, and is considering issuing 30 shares to the shareholders of AB, what is the cost of the share offer?
(iii) What is the net present value of the transaction under the cash offer to CD?
(iv) What is the net present value under the share offer?
Answer:
Explanation:
MARKET VALUES
Company AB - 50 million Ghanaian cedis
Company CD - 200 million Ghanaian cedis
CD offers to buy all of AB's shares at 65 million Ghanaian cedis
The cost of this purchase is 15 million Ghanaian cedis because this is the extra amount company CD placed, above the market value of 50 million to purchase AB. This is the economic cost.
The gain of this transaction is 10 million cedis, that is 25-15 (million). This is the total cost savings from this transaction.
Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly.
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with three years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 6%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 8.40%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, the value of the Treasury note is:_________.
A. $590,626.18
B. $796,876.60
C. $937,501.88
D. $1,125,002.26
Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statements:
The T-note described is currently selling at a _______
A. Premium
B. Discount .
Assuming that interest rates remain constant over the life of the note, its price should be expected to_____as the T-note approaches maturity.
A. Increase
B. Decrease .
When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period (N) in the present value formula is assumed to have a value of:______ periods.
A. annual
B. 4-month
C. 6-month
D. 12-month
Answer:
C. $937,501.88
2. B. Discount
3. A. Increase
4. 6-month
Explanation:
1. The computation of value of the Treasury note is shown below:-
Rate = YTM ÷ 2
= 8.4% ÷ 2 = 4.2%
Nper = 2 × 3 years
= 6
PMT = Semi annual coupon = 6% ÷ 2 × $1,000,000
= $30,000
FV = future value = par value = $1,000,000
So,
The price of the bond = - PV (Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)
= - PV (4.2%, 6, $30,000, $1,000,000)
= $937,501.88
2. B. Discount
3. A. Increase because the T-note reaches the maturity
4. 6-month as it is semi-annual

Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

The marginal cost of selling a ticket is $12. Other fixed costs per game equal $6000. Finally, seating capacity is 6000. Use the following steps to find the profit maximizing price: first, calculate the Total Revenue=Price×Tickets. Second, calculate the Marginal Revenue, which is the change in Total Revenue as you move from one price level to the next. Finally, find the price at which Marginal revenue=Marginal cost.
Answer:
hello your question lacks the required table attached is the table
answer : the total revenue
= price * no of tickets
for $20 at 1000 tickets = $20000
Marginal Revenue
= Revenue per tickets
Marginal cost = 6000 + 12 x
x = number of tickets
Explanation:
marginal cost = $12
fixed costs per game = $6000
seating capacity = 6000
A) the total revenue
= price * no of tickets
for $20 at 1000 tickets = $20000
Marginal Revenue
= Revenue per tickets
Marginal cost = 6000 + 12 x
x = number of tickets
attached is the detailed solution and the missing table
We have the following data for a hypothetical open economy: GNP = $10 comma 00010,000 Consumption (C) = $8 comma 2008,200 Investment (I) = $1 comma 2001,200 Government Purchases (G) = $1 comma 2001,200 What is the value of the current account balance? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary).
Answer:
Current account balance. = -$600
Explanation:
Given:
GNP = $10,000
Consumption (C) = $8,200
Investment (I) = $1,200
Government Purchases (G) = $1,200
Find:
Current account balance.
Computation:
GNP = Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Purchases (G) + Current account balance.

Current account balance. = $10,000 - $10,600
Current account balance. = -$600
You work for a marketing agency advising a client considering whether to drop prices during an economic downturn. The client, a manufacturer of children's outdoor swing sets, believes that reducing prices would lead to more sales. The client is aware that lower prices would yield less revenue per sale. However, the client is unaware of any other possible negative consequences of dropping prices.
1. Advise the client of some of those possible consequences. Include a description of the psychological issues at play in dropping a brand's price.
2. Identify and evaluate price-adjustment strategies beyond a straightforward reduction in retail price that the client should consider.
Explanation:
1- One of the pieces of advice I could give the customer about lowering the balance sheet price is that this could generate different interpretations for the potential consumer, as there may be a perception that the price reduction of the product occurred due to the loss of product quality in relation to competing products.
2- There are other effective strategies for managing an economic crisis in addition to a direct reduction in the retail price, such as the psychological price strategy, which are the marketing techniques used by salespeople so that consumers respond emotionally to the product, and not a logical way, which generates a perception of greater benefit for the consumer, which can lead to increased sales without having to lower the price of the product.

The trial balance for a business at a given point in time typically has much more detailed information than what is depicted on the financial statements. What is the accounting concept that allows for the information from the trial balance to be condensed to what is displayed on the financial statements
Answer:
Going Concern Concept
Explanation:
The Information from a trial balance is usually shown at historic values and not market values. The financial statements also show the amounts in historic not Liquidation / market values.
Thus we say the entity is foreseen to be in operation in future thus it is a going concern. The concept applied therefore is the Going Concern Concept.
An investment offers $5,800 per year, with the first payment occurring one year from now. The required return is 7 percent. a. What would the value be today if the payments occurred for 20 years?
Answer:
$61,445.20
Explanation:
we need to determine the present value of an annuity, and the simplest to determine this is by using annuity factors:
number of payments = 20
interest rate = 7%
annuity payment = $5,800
present value of the annuity = $5,800 x 10.594 (PV factor, 7%, n= 20) = $61,445.20
if we do not have an annuity table at hand (or in the internet), the formula used to calculate the annuity factor is:
annuity factor = [1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ] / r
Suppose your friend is a music major who sings at weddings. She has no fixed or marginal costs for singing and has two types of customers: 20 customers think it is worth paying $200 to have her sing at their wedding, whereas 10 customers think her singing services are worth only $100. Il earn S if she can charge only one price to:________.
(a) If your friend is able to sing at each wedding and maximizes profits all customers.
(b) She will earn S If she can perfectly price discriminate.
Answer: a. $4,000
b. $5,000
Explanation:
a. If she can sing at each wedding but decides to maximise profits, she will only sing at the weddings of those paying her $200 as it is the higher of the two payment options.
Should she sing at the $200 customer weddings, she would make;
= 20 people * $200
= $4,000
b. Price Discrimination is the charging of different types of customers different prices for the same or similar goods.
If your friend knows how to perfectly charge the two different groups the different prices that they value her at then she will be able to attend and sing at both weddings making her revenue;
= (10* $100) + (20 * $200)
= 1,000 + 4,000
= $5,000
