Record the expense with a debit in amortization and a credit in accumulated amortization as :
Debit : Amortization expense
Credit : Accumulated Amortization
Suppose a company spends $200,000 in the current year to research and develop a navigation device for hikers. By the end of the year, the company estimates that the new navigation device has a 70% chance of generating $500,000 in revenues from sales to customers over the next four years. For what amount would the company report research and development expense in the current year
Answer: $200,000
Explanation:
The company spent $200,000 on the research that led to the development of the navigation device and according to Accounting guidelines, Research and Development costs are to be expensed in the period that they occurred.
The entire $200,000 that was spent should therefore be expensed as Research and Development.
Cooper Construction Company had a contract starting April 2015, to construct a $18,000,000 building that is expected to be completed in September 2017, at a total estimated cost of $16,500,000. At the end of 2015, the costs to date were $7,590,000 and the estimated total costs to complete had not changed. The progress billings during 2015 were $3,600,000 and the cash collected during 2015 was 2,400,000. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Cooper would recognize gross profit on the building of:_____________
Answer:
$690,000
Explanation:
Total gross profit on the contract = Total contract value - Total estimated cost = 18,000,000 -16,500,000 = $1,500,000
Total cost in 2015 = 7,590,000
Total % of completion in 2015 = Total cost in 2015 / Total cost of contract
Total % of completion in 2015 = 7,590,000/16,500,000
Total % of completion in 2015 = 0.46
Total % of completion in 2015 = 46%
Gross profit in 2015 = Total gross profit on contract * Total % of completion in 2015
Gross profit in 2015 = 1,500,000 * 46%
Gross profit in 2015 = $690,000
assume the following the standard price per pound is 2.00 the standard quantity of pounds allowed per unit of finished goods is 4 pounds the actual quantity of materials purchased and used in production is 50000 pounds the company produced 13000 units of finished goods during the period the actual price per pound of direct materials is closest to
Answer: $2.28
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the actual price per pound of direct materials will be calculated as:
Material Price Variance = (14000)
Since material price valriance is the actual price deducted from the standard price for actual quantity that was used during production process. This will be:
(14000) = [(2 × 50000)] - [Actual Price × 50000]
(14000) = (100000) - (actual price × 50000)
(Actual Price × 50000) = 100000 + 14000
Actual Price × 50000) = 114000
Actual Price = 114000 / 50000
Actual price = 2.28
An asset used in a three-year project falls in the three-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The MACRS percentage rates starting with Year 1 are: 33.33, 44.45, 14.81, and 7.41.The asset has an acquisition cost of $2.6 million and will be sold for $1.1 million at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the aftertax salvage value of the asset
Answer:
$791,504.40
Explanation:.
Calculation for the after tax salvage value of the asset
Asset Aftertax salvage value = $1,100,000- [$1,100,000-($2,600,000 x .0741)] x .34
Asset Aftertax salvage value = $1,100,000- [$1,100,000-$1,926,600] x .34
Asset Aftertax salvage value = $791,504.40
Therefore the after tax salvage value of the asset will be $791,504.40

Lucy's Music Emporium opened its doors on January 1, 2015, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 20 years, but in December 2015 management realized that the assets would last for only 15 years. The firm's accountants plan to report the 2015 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements? a. The firm's reported 2015 earnings per share would increase. b. The firm's EBIT would increase. c. The firm's net liabilities would increase. d. The firm's reported net fixed assets would increase.
Answer:
The firm's cash position in 2015 and 2016 would increase.
Explanation:
In the case when the life of an asset would decrease that represents the depreciation would rise and if the depreciation rise so the EBIT and EPS would reduced and in the case when the EBIT reduced, so automatically the tax expense is also reduce
So, the cash position of the firm woud increase
Hence, the above represents the answer
The stock price of Bravo Corp. is currently $100. The stock price a year from now will be either $160 or $60 with equal probabilities. The interest rate at which investors invest in riskless assets is 6%. Using the binomial OPM, the value of a put option with an exercise price of $135 and an expiration date 1 year from now should be worth __________ today.
Answer:
$38.21
Explanation:
The computation of the value of put option is shown below;
Hedge ratio is
= (Pay off in case price appreciates - Pay off in case of price depreciates) ÷ (Appreciated price - Depreciated price)
= (Max[$135 - $160, $0] - Max[$135 - $60, $0]) ÷ ($160 - $60)
= ($0 - $75) / $100
= -0.75
Now, Price of Put option is
= -Hedge ratio × {Appreciated price ÷ (1 + risk free rate) - Present stock price}
= -(-0.75) × {$160 ÷ (1 + 6%) - $100}
= $38.21
The Tierney Group has two divisions of equal size: an office furniture manufacturing division and a data processing division. Its CFO believes that stand-alone data processor companies typically have a WACC of 9%, while stand-alone furniture manufacturers typically have a 13% WACC. She also believes that the data processing and manufacturing divisions have the same risk as their typical peers. Consequently, she estimates that the composite, or corporate, WACC is 11%. A consultant has suggested using a 9% hurdle rate for the data processing division and a 13% hurdle rate for the manufacturing division. However, the CFO disagrees, and she has assigned an 11% WACC to all projects in both divisions. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. The decision not to adjust for risk means, in effect, that it is favoring the data processing division. Therefore, that division is likely to become a larger part of the consolidated company over time.
B. The decision not to adjust for risk means that the company will accept too many projects in the manufacturing division and too few in the data processing division. This will lead to a reduction in the firm's intrinsic value over time.
C. The decision not to risk-adjust means that the company will accept too many projects in the data processing business and too few projects in the manufacturing business. This will lead to a reduction in its intrinsic value over time.
D. The decision not to risk-adjust means that the company will accept too many projects in the manufacturing business and too few projects in the data processing business. This may affect the firm's capital structure but it will not affect its intrinsic value.
E. While the decision to use just one WACC will result in its accepting more projects in the manufacturing division and fewer projects in its data processing division than if it followed the consultant's recommendation, this should not affect the firm's intrinsic value.
Answer:
The Correct statement is option B. The decision of the company not to adjust for risk means that the company will have to accept too many projects in the office furniture manufacturing division and too few in the data processing division.
Explanation:
Based on the information given the decision of the company not to adjust to the risks will lead to the firm accepting project that are too many in the office furniture Manufacturing Divsion while that of data processing Division will accept too few project, which means that the firm will be at risk in a situation where they want to raise the cost of capital reason been that the company cash flow will be Discounted by the investor at a rate that is high which will inturn Lead to the company value to decline.
Therefore The Correct statement is option B.
is global economic resistance good or bad? why?
Answer:
The global economy can be a little frustrating because globalization and the global economy are terms that mean different things to different people. I have found that some people talk about the global economy and what they mean is the opening of markets and trade among nations—so that today you can buy products in a store that have been made everywhere around the world, and people everywhere around the world are buying products that we make.
That didn’t used to be the case, partly because transportation and communication technologies were inadequate and partly because there were a lot more political barriers and even wars going on that prevented people from trading with each other. But in the twentieth century—especially in the late twentieth century—there’s been a large-scale dismantling of political barriers to trade combined with a dramatic increase in communication and transportation technology that has opened up a new global market.
A company issues $50,000 of 4% bonds, due in 5 years, with interest payable semiannually. Assuming a market rate of 3%, the bonds issue for $52,306. Calculate interest expense as of the first semiannual interest payment.
Answer:
interest payment would be $1,046.12
Explanation:
We calculate the Interest expense for the first semiannual interest payment by constructing the Bond amortization schedule.
To construct this amortization schedule we will collect the data as follows :
PV = - $52,306
PMT = ($52,306 × 4%) ÷ 2 = $1,046.12
P/yr = 2
N = 5 × 2 = 10
YTM = 3%
FV = $52,306
Using a Financial Calculator to input the values as above, the schedule can be constructed as
BOND AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE
Period Principle Interest Payment Balance
Start $52,306
1st $261.53 $784.59 $1,046.12 $52,044
Conclusion
Thus, interest payment would be $1,046.12
Coronado Inc. has completed the purchase of new Dell computers. The fair value of the equipment is $708,769. The purchase agreement specifies an immediate down payment of $172,000 and semiannual payments of $66,179 beginning at the end of 6 months for 5 years. What is the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
Fair value = $708,769
Down payment will be made so only the amount net of the down payment will be paid periodically.
= 708,769 - 172,000
= $536,769
Present value of Annuity interest factor for payment = 536,769/66,179
= 8.11087
No. of periods = 2 * 5years = 10 semi annums
Look at the Present value of interest factor of Annuity (PVIFA) table and find the interest rate that corresponds to 10 periods and gives an interest factor of 8.11087.
That interest rate is ⇒ 4%
As this is a semi-annual rate, the annual rate is;
= 4% * 2
= 8%

On November 1, 2017, National Company sold inventory to a foreign customer. The account will be settled on March 1 with the receipt of 200,000 foreign currency units (FCU). On November 1, National also entered into a forward contract to hedge the exposed asset. The forward rate is $0.80 per unit of foreign currency. National has a December 31 fiscal year-end. Spot rates on relevant dates were:
Answer:
$162,000 and $4,000 loss
Explanation:
The computation of the adjusted basis in the account receivable and the gain or loss is as follows:
As on Nov 1, the foreign currency rate on date of sale is $0.83
The account receivable should be recorded at
= 200,000 × $0.83
= $166,000
Now the foreign currency rate is reduced to $0.81
So the loss is recorded
= ($0.83 - $0.81) × $2,00,000
= $4,000 loss
And, Receivable balance on Dec 31 is
= $166,000 - $4,000
= $162,000

Bob is angry at his company XYZ Corp. since his annual bonus was too small. Bob who has authority to sign checks on behalf of XYZ decides to get even by creating an employee, Steven Even. Bob writes a check to Steven on XYZ's checking account, signs it and then he indorses it with Steven's name and deposits it an account he has opened in Steven Even's name and the check clears. XYZ finds out and wants to hold the bank liable for paying the check since there was a forged indorsement. Which of the following is true? a) The bank needs to pay because when there is a forged indorsement, the first person to take the instrument with the forged indorsement is liable. b) The bank needs to pay because of the imposter rule. c) The bank only needs to pay if the check was for more than $500. d) The bank does not need to pay because of the fictitious payee rule.
Answer:
d) The bank does not need to pay because of the fictitious payee rule.
Explanation:
Here, the instrument is issued to a payee who has no interest in instrument and thus it is referred as fictitious payee. According to UCC's fictitious payee rule, the indorsement to fictitious payee is not considered forgery. In this case, the maker or drawer of instrument is liable for it. The drawer bank and collecting bank both are not liable for it.
Stockholders' Equity of Riverwild Corporation consists of 50,000 shares of $8 par value, 5% cumulative preferred stock and 400,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Both classes of stock have been outstanding since the company's inception. Riverwild's Board of Directors did not declare any dividends last year, but now it declares and pays a $200,000 dividend at year-end. Required: A. Determine the total dividend amount distributed to the preferred shareholders this year (not the per share amount). B. Determine the total dividend amount distributed to the common shareholders this year (not the per share amount).
Answer:
a. $20,000
b. $180,000
Explanation:
Par value per preferred share = $8
Dividend rate = 5%
Dividend per preferred share = $8 * 5% = $0.40
Number of preferred shares = 50,000
a. Total dividend amount distributed to the preferred shareholders this year = 50,000 shares * $0.40 = $20,000
b. The total dividend amount distributed to the common shareholders this year = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000

The cost slope of an activity $ 250/day. The normal duration of this activity is 15 days, the crash cost is $1,500 and the maximum crashing possible for the activity is 10 days beyond the normal duration. What is the normal cost of this activity
Answer: $1000
Explanation:
To calculate the normal cost of this activity, we will use the formula:
Cash slope = (Crash cost - Normal cost) / (Normal duration - Crash duration)
250 = (1500 - Normal cost) / (15 - 5)
250 = (1500 - Normal cost) / 10
Cross multiply
(250 × 10) = 1500 - Normal cost
2500 = 1500 - Normal cost
Normal cost = 2500 - 1500
Normal cost = $1000

Add: balance of unrealized loss ($40,000 loss - $20,000 gain) $20,000
Total $800,000
Gain (sale value - total) ($860,000 - $800,000) $60,000
hence, the gain reported is $60,000
