Explanation:
Kim works for a clothing manufacturer as a dress designer. During 2020, she travels to New York City to attend five days of fashion shows and then spends three days sightseeing. Her expenses are as follows:
Airfare $1,800
Lodging (8 nights) 2,340
Meals (8 days) 2,160
Airport transportation 115
Assume lodging/meals are the same amount for the business and personal portion of the trip ($293 per day for lodging and $270 per day for meals).
Required:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain
The tax treatment of Kim's deduction if she was an independent contractor will be:
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
Therefore, the tax treatment of Kim's deduction still remains the same.
An economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs: a. A stock market boom increases the value of stocks held by households. b. Firms come to believe that a recession is likely in the near future. c. Anticipating the possibility of war, the government increases its purchases of military equipment. d. The quantity of money in the economy declines, and interest rates increase.
Answer:
Following are the solution to these question:
Explanation:
In point a:
The population feels wealthier and seems to be socially secure. This will boost consumption, moving AD to the correct. There is a difference in deflation. Govt must adopt a discretionary monetary policy to fight deflation, that will change AD left.
In point b:
Expenditure has been decreased to increasing jobs or costs. Disinflationary distance exists. To improve DA (shift rectors) and restore full job production, Govt must pursue the expansionary monetary policy.
In point c:
It will once again raise NPA because part A contributes to even more competition with higher public expenditure. The deflation divide is that there is. That alternative is an expansionary tax reform to move to the left.
In point d:
The rise in interest rates declines expenditure and, as part B, reduces AD. The deflationary difference remains. Government must use expansionary monetary policy to fight it, moving AD to a correct.
Essence of Skunk Fragrances, Ltd., sells 5,750 units of its perfume collection each year at a price per unit of $445. All sales are on credit with terms of 1/10, net 40. The discount is taken by 35 percent of the customers.
Required:
What is the amount of the company's accounts receivable?
Answer:
The amount of the company's accounts receivable is $2,558,750.
Explanation:
Accounts Receivables are amounts owed to the company. They are measured at amounts that the company expects to be entitled to after a sale.
The sale journal is :
Debit : Accounts Receivables (5,750 units x $445) $2,558,750
Credit : Sales Revenue (5,750 units x $445) $2,558,750
The following is the inventory record of widgets for the ABC Company: Units Cost/Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 100 $ 10.00 4/15 Purchase 200 $ 11.00 8/24 Purchase 300 $ 12.00 11/27 Purchase 400 $ 13.00
At the end of the fiscal year, the physical inventory found 450 widgets on hand at 12/31. Total sales for the year were 500 widgets
REQUIRED:
a) Calculate the ending inventory value under each of the following inventory methods:
i. FIFO
ii. LIFO
iii. Weighted Average
b) Calculate the gross profit for each of the inventory methods.
Answer:
a-i. Ending inventory = $5,800
a-ii. Ending inventory = $5,000
a-iii. Ending inventory = $5,400
b-i. Gross profit = $3,800
b-ii. Gross profit = $3,000
b-iii. Gross profit = $3,400
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the sentence for the Total sales is not complete. The complete sentence of the Total sales is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Total sales for the year were 500 widgets sold at a retail price of $20.00 per widget.
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a) Calculate the ending inventory value under each of the following inventory methods
Ending units of inventory = 450
Therefore, we have:
a-i. Calculate the ending inventory value under first in first out (FIFO) inventory method
Ending inventory = Cost of 400 units purchased on 11/27 + Cost 50 units from 300 units purchased on 8/24 = (400 * $13) + (50 *$12) = $5,800
a-ii. Calculate the ending inventory value under Last in first out (LIFO) inventory method
Ending inventory = Cost of 100 units Beginning Inventory on 1/1 + Cost of 200 units purchased on 4/15+ Cost 150 units from 300 units purchased on 8/24 = (100 * $10) + (200 * $11) + (150 * $12) = $5,000
a-iii. Calculate the ending inventory value under Weighted Average inventory method
Cost of goods available for sale = (100 * $10) + (200 * $11) + (300 * $12) + (400 * $13) = $12,000
Units available for sale = 100 + 200 + 300 + 400 = 1,000
Weighted Average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sale / Total units available for sale = $12,000 / 1,000 = $12
Ending inventory = Ending units of inventory * Weighted Average cost per unit = 450 * $12 = $5,400
b) Calculate the gross profit for each of the inventory methods.
Units of inventory sold = 500
Retail price per widget or unit = $20.00
Sales revenue = Units of inventory sold * Retail price per widget or unit = 500 * $20.00 = $10,000
Cost of goods available for sale = (100 * $10) + (200 * $11) + (300 * $12) + (400 * $13) = $12,000
Therefore, we have:
b-i. Calculate the gross profit under first in first out (FIFO) inventory method
Ending inventory = $5,800
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory = $12,000 - $5,800 = $6,200
Gross profit = Sales revenue – Cost of goods sold = $10,000 - $6,200 = $3,800
b-ii. Calculate the gross profit under last in first out (LIFO) inventory method
Ending inventory = $5,000
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory = $12,000 - $5,000 = $7,000
Gross profit = Sales revenue – Cost of goods sold = $10,000 - $7,000 = $3,000
b-iii. Calculate the gross profit under Weighted Average inventory method
Ending inventory = $5,400
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory = $12,000 - $5,400 = $6,600
Gross profit = Sales revenue – Cost of goods sold = $10,000 - $6,600 = $3,400
Mongar Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the most recent month appear below:
Original Budget Actual Costs
Variable overhead costs:
Supplies $7,980 $8,230
Indirect labor 29,820 29,610
Total variable manufacturing overhead cost $37,800 $37,840
The original budget was based on 4,200 machine-hours. The company actually worked 4,350 machine-hours during the month and the standard hours allowed for the actual output were 4,190 machine-hours. What was the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
a. $130 Unfavorable
b. $950 Favorable
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
d. $1,310 Favorable
Answer:
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual working hours) * Standard Rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*($37,800/4,200 hours)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 160 hours*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = $1,440 Unfavorable

Bismark Inc, a large manufacturer of heavy equipment components, has determined the following activity cost pools and cost driver levels for the year:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Cost Activity Cost Driver
Machine Setup $600,000 15,000 setup hours
Material handling 90,000 3,000 tons of materials
Machine operation 420,000 12,000 machine hours
The following data are for the production of single batches of two products, Camshafts and Swing Drives during the month of August:
Camshafts Swing Drives
Units produced 1,500 900
Machine hours 4 5
Direct labor hours 300 500
Direct labor cost $7,000 $12,000
Direct materials cost $40,000 $30,000
Tons of materials 10 7
Setup hours 5 8
Determine the unit costs of Camshafts and Swing Drives using ABC. Round answers to the nearest cent.
Camshafts $ _____
Swing Drives $_____
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine Setup= 600,000 / 15,000= $40 per setup hour
Material handling= 90,000 / 3,000= $30 per ton of material
Machine operation= 420,000 / 12,000= $35 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Camshafts:
Machine Setup= 40*5= $200
Material handling= 30*10= $300
Machine operation= 35*4= $140
Total allocated costs= $640
Swing Drives:
Machine Setup= 40*8= $320
Material handling= 30*7= $210
Machine operation= 35*5= $175
Total allocated costs= $705
Finally, the unitary cost:
Camshafts:
Total cost= 40,000 + 7,000 + 640= $47,640
Unitary cost= 47,640 / 1,500= $31.76
Swing Drives:
Total cost= 30,000 + 12,000 + 705= $42,705
Unitary cost= 42,705 / 900= $47.45

Lumpkin Company sells lamps and other lighting fixtures. The purchasing department manager prepared the following inventory purchases budget. Lumpkin’s policy is to maintain an ending inventory balance equal to 10 percent of the following month’s cost of goods sold. April’s budgeted cost of goods sold is $40,000. Required Complete the inventory purchases budget by filling in the missing amounts.
Answer:
February.
Desired ending inventory = 10% of March Cost of goods(COGS):
= 10% * 35,000
= $3,500
Inventory needed = COGS + ending inventory
= 32,000 + 3,500
= $35,500
Beginning inventory = January ending inventory = $3,200
Required Purchases = Inventory needed - Beginning inventory
= 35,500 - 3,200
= $32,300
March
Desired ending inventory = 10% of April COGS:
= 10% * 40,000
= $4,000
Inventory needed:
= 35,000 + 4,000
= $39,000
Beginning inventory = February ending inventory = $3,500
Required purchases:
= 39,000 - 3,500
= $35,500
You have your choice of two investment accounts. Investment A is a 6-year annuity that features end-of-month $1,980 payments and has an interest rate of 7 percent compounded monthly. Investment B is an annually compounded lump-sum investment with an interest rate of 9 percent, also good for 6 years.
How much money would you need to invest in B today for it to be worth as much as Investment A 6 years from now? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$112,166
Explanation:
the future value of Investment A:
payment = $1,980
n = 6 x 12 = 72
i = 9% / 12 = 0.75%
FVIFA = [(1 + i)ⁿ- 1 ] / i = [(1 + 0.0075)⁷² - 1 ] / 0.0075 = 95.007
future value = $1,980 x 95.007 = $188,114
now we need to determine the PV of investment B:
PV = $188,114 / (1 + 9%)⁶ = $112,166
Answer: $105,264.24
Explanation:
Step 1) Calculate Future Value of Investment A
Rate: .07/12 = .58%
Payment: $1,980
Term: 72 (6 years * 12 months)
Future Value: ?
In excel -> FV(.58,72,-1980,0)
Future Value = $176,538.67
Step 2) Calculate Present Value of Investment B using Investment A Future Value
Rate: .09
Payment: $0
Term: 6
Future Value: $176,538.67 (from step 1)
PV(.09,6,0,-176538.67)
Present Value = $105,264.24
Thats your answer!! ^^^^^
You can also use the formula or calculator, but I've found excel is the easiest/fastest.

Understanding how shirking decreases team output
Eleanor sells bottled water from a small stand by the beach. On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Eleanor realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Darnell and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Eleanor knows that if they both work hard, Darnell will earn $110 on the beach and Eleanor will earn $240 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: $110+$2402=$175$110+$2402=$175. If Darnell shirks, he'll generate only $60 in earnings. Eleanor does not know that Darnell estimates his personal cost (or disutility) of working hard as opposed to shirking at $30.
Once out of Eleanor's sight, Darnell faces a dilemma: work hard (put in full effort) or shirk (put in low effort).
In terms of Darnell's total utility, it is worse for him to_____ .
Taking into account the loss in utility that working hard brings to Darnell, Eleanor and Darnell together _____ better off if Darnell shirks instead of working hard.
Eleanor knows Darnell will shirk if unsupervised. She considers hiring her good friend Carrie to keep an eye on Darnell. The most Eleanor should be willing to pay Carrie to supervise Darnell, assuming supervision is sufficient to encourage Darnell to work hard, is _______ .
It turns out that Eleanor's friend Carrue is unavilable that day, so Eleanor cannot find a reliable person to watch Darnell. Which of the following arrangements will ensure that Darnell works hard without making Eleanor any worse off than she is when Darnell shirks?
A. Allow Darnell to keep 75% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%
B. Allow Darnell to keep 57% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%
C. Pay Darnell $70, regardless of how many bottles of water he sells
D. Make Darnell promise to work hard
Answer:
Shirk
are not better of
$30
A. Allow Darnell to keep 75% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%
Explanation:
Darnell and Eleanor both can work together and their combined total earning will be high. Darnell estimates that his shirking is cost at $30 then Eleanor can pay to supervisor a maximum of $30 for the supervision service for Darnell. The best choice is to hire Carrue as a supervisor for Darnell. If Carrue is not available someday then Darnell can be motivated by allowing him to keep 75% of the revenue generated from him.

Russell Retail Group begins the year with inventory of $65,000 and ends the year with inventory of $55,000. During the year, the company has four purchases for the following amounts. Purchase on February 17 $ 220,000 Purchase on May 6 140,000 Purchase on September 8 170,000 Purchase on December 4 420,000 Required: Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
COGS= $960,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventroy= $65,000
Ending inventory= $55,000
Total Purchase= 220,000 + 140,000 + 170,000+ 420,000= $950,000
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
COGS= 65,000 + 950,000 - 55,000
COGS= $960,000

EAFE= 0+0.12+0.02
EAFE=14%
Manager =[ 0.6 * ( 1- 1 ) ] + [ 0.1 * ( 1.4 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.3 * ( 1.2- 1 ) ]
Manager=0+0.04+0.06
Manager=10%
Loss relative to EAFE=(10%-14%)
Loss relative to EAFE=4%
4% loss relative to EAFE
B. Calculation for COUNTRY SELECTION
Using this formula
EAFE/ Manager weight × Return on Equity Index
Let plug in the formula
EAFE = [ 0.6 * 15% + 0.3 * 16% + 0.1* 20% ]
EAFE = 0.09+0.048+0.02
EAFE = 15.8%
Manager = [ 0.6 * 12% + 0.1 * 17% + 0.3 * 17% ] Manager =0.072+0.017+0.051
Manager =14%
Loss relative to EAFE=15.8%-14%
Loss relative to EAFE=1.80%
1.80% loss relative to EAFE
C. Calculation for STOCK SELECTION
Using this formula
Stock Selection=( Manager’s return - Return on Equity Index ) × Manager weight
Let plug in the formula
Stock Selection=[ ( 12% - 15% ) * 0.6 ] + [ ( 17% - 16% ) * 0.1 ] + [ ( 17% - 20% ) * 0.3 ]
Stock Selection=-0.018+0.001+-0.009
Stock Selection=-2.6%
-2.6% loss relative to EAFE

Following are data for BioBeans and GreenKale, which sell organic produce and are of similar size. BioBeans GreenKale Average total assets $ 215,000 $ 166,500 Net sales 105,000 33,300 Net income 15,050 3,900 Required: 1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies. 1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies. 2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment
Answer:
1a. We have:
BioBeans' profit margin = 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = 11.71%
1b. We have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = 2.34%
2. BioBeans is the preferred investment.
Explanation:
1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies.
Profit margin = Net income / Net sales ........... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' profit margin = $15,050 / $105,000 = 0.1433, or 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = $3,900 / $33,300 = 0.1171, or 11.71%
1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies.
Return on total assets = Net income / Average total assets ............ (2)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = $15,050 / $215,000 = 0.07, or 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = $3,900 / $166,500 = 0.0234, or 2.34%
2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment?
Since the profit margin and return on total assets of BioBeans are greater than the profit margin and return on total assets of GreenKale, this indicates that BioBeans is the preferred investment.

g An airline is considering a project of replacement and upgrading of machinery that would improve efficiency. The new machinery costs $400 today and is expected to last for 5 years with no salvage value. Straight line depreciation will be used. Project inflows connected with the new machinery will begin in one year and are expected to be $200 each year for 5 consecutive years and project outflows will also begin in one year and are expected to be $90 each year for 5 consecutive years. The corporate tax rate is 32% and the required rate of return is 9%. Calculate the project's net present value.
Answer:
$-9.48
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 = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(400 - 0) / 5 = 80
(200 - 90- 80) x (1 - 0.32) + 80 = $100.40
Cash flow in year 0 = $-400
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $100.40
I = 9%
NPV = $-9.48
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.

Baiman, Inc. issues $1,000,000 of zero-coupon bonds that mature in 10 years. Compute the bond issue price assuming that the bonds' market rate is:
a. 10% per year compounded semiannually.
Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
Zero-cupon bond= $376,889.48
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Face value= $1,000,000
Mature= 10*2= 20 semesters
Market rate= 0.1/2= 0.05
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Zero-cupon bond= [face value/(1+i)^n]
Zero-cupon bond= [1,000,000 / (1.05^20)]
Zero-cupon bond= $376,889.48
Polson Pool Company is involved in a number of competitive bidding situations. The following costs are anticipated for a project to be bid for Terrance Manufacturing:
Direct material $ 680,000
Direct labor 2,450,000
Allocated variable overhead 570,000
Allocated fixed cost 230,000
Which of these costs would be treated differently if Polson had either excess capacity or no excess capacity?
a. Allocated variable overhead, $570,000
b. Direct labor, $2,450,000
c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
d. Direct materials used, $680,000.
Answer: c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
Explanation:
The Allocated fixed cost is fixed based on a certain level of production. If Polson had excess capacity to produce more goods or no excess capacity, the allocated fixed costs would have to be treated differently to account for this.
The variable costs however would not have to change because they are already based on the quantity of goods produced so even if there is excess or no excess capacity, their cost per unit would not change.
