Answer:
A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.
Explanation:
Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change is insignificant (materiality principle).
Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.
If the government set a price ceiling of $40, there would be: Group of answer choices a shortage (or excess supply) of about 8 units a shortage (or excess supply) of about 12 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 12 units
Answer:
A surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units
Explanation:
The picture attached shows the diagram necessary for the question which is part of the question. Solution is given below;
At the above ceiling at price of 40$
Quantity supplied will be 16
Quantity demanded will be 24
So when demand is more than supply than there will be a shortage in quantity by (24-16) 8 units.
When there is demand more than supply than it is an excess demand.
So surplus or excess demand by 8 units.
Oriole, Inc., management expects the company to earn cash flows of $11,800, $14,000, $18,200, and $19,000 over the next four years. If the company uses an 10 percent discount rate, what is the future value of these cash flows at the end of year 4? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25. Do not round factor values.)
Answer:
The future value of these cash flows at the end of year 4 is $71,885.80
Explanation:
In order to calculate the future value of these cash flows at the end of year 4 we would have to use the following formula:
n
∑
FV = i=1 [CFi * (1 + r)(n - i)]
FV = [$11,800 * (1 + 0.10)∧(4-1)] + [$14,000 * (1 + 0.10)∧(4-2)] + [$18,200 * (1 + 0.10)(4-3)] + [$19,000 * (1 + 0.10)(4-4)]
FV = $15,705.80 + $16,940 + $20,020 + $19,000
FV=$71,665.80
The future value of these cash flows at the end of year 4 is $71,885.80
Answer:
Future Value of Cash Flows = $71,665.80
Explanation:
Cash Flows:
Year 1 = $11,800
Year 2 = $14,000
Year 3 = $18,200
Year 4 = $19,000
Discount Rate = 10%
Future Value of Cash Flows = $11,800 × 1.10^3 + $14,000 × 1.10^2 + $18,200 × 1.10^1 + $19,000 × 1.10^0
Future Value of Cash Flows = $11,800 × 1.331 + $14,000 × 1.21 + $18,200 × 1.10 + $19,000 × 1
Future Value of Cash Flows = $15,705.8 + $16,940 + $20,020 + $19,000
Future Value of Cash Flows = $71,665.80
So, the future value of these cash flows at the end of year 4 is $71,665.80
At the beginning of 2020, Vaughn Company acquired a mine for $1,965,400. Of this amount, $115,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,010,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Vaughn incurred $195,500 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $46,000. During 2020, 2,433,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,081,000 of these units were sold.
Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Answer:
$462,270.00
Explanation:
The first task is to determine the depletion rate per unit of ore extracted from the mine.
depletion rate=total cost the mine/total units of ore extract
total cost of mine=acquisition cost-land value+development costs+removal cost
total cost of mine=$1,965,400-$115,000+$195,500+$46,000=$2,091,900.00
total units of ore extract is 11,010,000 units
depletion rate= 2,091,900.00/11,010,000=$0.19 per unit of ore
depletion amount in 2020=depletion rate*ore extracted in 2020=2,433,000*$0.19 =$462,270.00
Answer:
$408,903
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Total Payment = $1,965,400
Land Value = $115,000
Value of Rights = $1,965,400 - $115,000 = $1,850,400
Estimated resources = 11,010,000 units
Resources extracted in the period = 2,433,000 units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expense = $1,850,400 x 2,433,000 / 11,010,000 units = $408,903

Consider the oil-producing countries of A, B, and C. Each has a marginal cost of zero. World demand is given by Q = 1430 - P. Suppose the three countries form a cartel, and that none of them has an incentive to deviate from the cartel. By how many units lower is the total output of oil under the cartel relative to the Cournot solution?
Answer: 357.50
Explanation:
Under Cournot model that has three firms, each firm produces at
q = (1430 – 0)/((3+1)×1)
= 1430/4
= 357.5 units
Total output = 357.5 × 3
= 1072.5 units
Under cartel, the marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost.
MR = MC = 0
1430 – 2Q = 0
Q = 1430/2
Q = 715 units
Difference= 1072.5 units - 715 units
= 357.5 units
Hence the units are 357.50 units lower in cartel compared to Cournot.
Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000
For purposes of determining current E&P, which of the following items cannot be deducted in the year incurred? A. dividendsminus−received deduction B. charitable contribution in excess of the 10% limitation C. life insurance premiums (in excess of the increase in cash surrender value for the policy) paid on the lives of key employees D. capital losses in excess of capital gains
Answer:
A. dividendsminus−received deduction.
Explanation:
This allows companies to avoid mostly third taxes on the same earnings.
It is explained to be a federal tax deduction in the U.S. that is given to certain corporations that get dividends from related entities. The amount of the dividend that a company can deduct from its income tax is tied to how much ownership the company has in the dividend-paying company. However, there are criteria that must be met in order to qualify for a DRD.
The dividends received deduction allows a company that receives a dividend from another company to deduct that dividend from its income and reduce its income tax accordingly.
elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Incremental Cost of Making Product
Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,
= 2.95 * 50,000
= $147,500
Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,
= 147,500 + 67,000
= $214,500
$214,500 is the cost making the product.
Cost of Buying Product
Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,
= 50,000 * 3.9
= $195,000
Cost of buying is $195,000
Decision
Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.
Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.
Answer:
elb Company
a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:
Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000
Total = $214,500
b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000
Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000
c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration. Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.
Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration. Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.
If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
A firm that has an ROE of 12% is considering cutting its dividend payout. The stockholders of the firm desire a dividend yield of 4% and a capital gain yield of 9%. Given this information, which of the following statements is (are) correct? I. All else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change. II. All else equal, the firm's stock price will go up after the payout change. III. All else equal, the firm's P/E ratio will increase after the payout change. Multiple Choice I only
Answer:
I only is correct. That is, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.
Explanation:
Holding every other condition constant, the cutting of the company's dividend payout will lead to a permanent fall in the dividend per share and this will cause a decrease in price.
However, the cutting the company's dividend payout will increased the retention rate that will increase the growth rate of the company.
Therefore, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.

Use of the marginal cost of capital
a. None of these options are correct.
b. recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
c. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth and recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
d. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of ''marginal cost of capital'' refers to the composite rate of return that is required by the shareholders and the debt-holders in order to establish a new investment in the actual company. Moreover, this type of cost relates to the weighted average cost of the last dollar of new capital raised by the company and is has the necessity of being greater than or at least equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised due to the fact that only in that way the investors will consider to invest again in a new project for the company.
Bass Accounting Services expects its accountants to work a total of 26 comma 000 direct labor hours per year. The company's estimated total indirect costs are $ 390 comma 000. The company uses direct labor hours as the allocation base for indirect costs. What is the indirect cost allocation rate? A. $ 18.00 per hour B. $ 30.00 per hour C. $ 15.00 per hour D. $ 150.00 per hour
Answer:
C) $ 15.00 per hour
Explanation:
total labor hours 26,000 per year
total indirect costs $390,000
if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:
$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour
This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) $15 per hour
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Expected wok for accountants = 26,000
The company estimated total indirect costs - 390,000
The next step is to find the allocation base cost for indirect cost.
Now,
The indirect labor cost is calculated as follows:
indirect cost allocation rate:
= Total indirect costs/Labor hours
= $390,000/26,000
= $15 per hours
At XYZ Corp., the master schedule reflects the fact that 50 percent of its output is product version A, 30 percent is version B, and 20 percent is version C. Suppose that over the coming year planned aggregate production is for 10,400 units. Once the production plan is disaggregated evenly throughout the year, what will the weekly production for version A be (assume 52 weeks per year)
Answer:
The weekly production for version A be 100 units
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total aggregate forecast for the year=10,400 units
Number of weeks per year=52 weeks
The weekly production=Total aggregate forecast for the year/ numer of weeks
The weekly production=104,00/52=200 units
Therefore, the weekly production for version A=50%of 200 units
The weekly production for version A=100 units
The weekly production for version A be 100 units
Oriole Tire Co. just paid an annual dividend of $1.70 on its common shares. If Oriole is expected to increase its annual dividend by 3.10 percent per year into the foreseeable future and the current price of Oriole’s common shares is $19.65, what is the cost of common stock for Oriole? (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 0.1555 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.)
Answer:
Cost of common stock is 12.02%
Explanation:
The cost of common stock can be computed from share price formula given below:
share price=do*(1+g)/r-g
do is the dividend just paid which is $1.70
g is the expected dividend growth per year which is 3.10%
r is the cost of common stock which is unknown
share price is $19.65
by changing the subject of the formula:
r=do*(1+g)/share price+g
r=1.70*(1+3.10%)/19.65+3.10%
r=1.7527/19.65+3.10%
r=0.0892+3.10%=12.02%
The company's cost of capital which is also the cost of common stock is 12.02%

The company used 6,800 direct labor-hours to produce this output.
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
Standard quantity= 5,500*1.4= 7,700
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (7,700 - 6,800)*12
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $10,800 favorable

Opening balance + purchases - units used = closing balance
Hence,
$800 + $2500 - amount used = $500
amount used up = $800 + $2500 - $500
= $2800

Check the explanation
Explanation:
B2B decisions are made between business entities (business and wholesaler, wholesaler and retailer) while B2C decisions are made between business and individuals (business and individual customers). Decision Making Units (DMU) is common in B2B and B2C decisions.
In a B2B, the key DMU includes economic buyer, infrastructure buyer and the user buyer. The economic buyer is the person buying a product, infrastructure buyer is the person providing infrastructure to make the purchase happen and the user buyer is the person supplying the product.
In the case of a decision-making process in a B2C, the DMU is a group of people making the decisions on the purchase of goods. B2C decision making consists of a buying center with users, buyers, influencers, gatekeepers and deciders.
The buying center is the key DMU in a B2C segment. The initiators in the buying center offer suggestions in a product purchase. The influencers provide their opinions in a product purchase. The buyers are the persons responsible for the entire contract. The gatekeepers control the information flow. Deciders take the final decision on a purchase. End users purchase the final product and use the item.

Mercury Company reports depreciation expense of $49,000 for Year 2. Also, equipment costing $168,000 was sold for its book value in Year 2. There were no other equipment purchases or sales during the year. The following selected information is available for Mercury Company from its comparative balance sheet. Compute the cash received from the sale of the equipment. At December 31 Year 2 Year 1 Equipment $ 655,000 $ 823,000 Accumulated Depreciation-Equipment 464,000 545,000 Multiple Choice $49,000. $87,000. $38,000. $81,000. $40,500.
Answer:
The cash received from sale is $38000
Explanation:
We first need to calculate the book value of the equipment that is sold.
Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
The accumulated depreciation on the equipment sold can be calculated by calculating the change in overall accumulated depreciation. Using the following equation to calculate the closing balance of accumulated depreciation, we can calculate the accumulated depreciation for the equipment that is sold.
Closing balance = Opening balance + Depreciation expense for the year - Accumulated depreciation on the asset disposed
Let Accumulated depreciation on the asset disposed be x.
464000 = 545000 + 49000 - x
x = 594000 - 464000
x = 130000
Thus, the book value of the asset sold was,
Book value = 168000 - 130000 = $38000
As the asset is sold for its book value, the cash received from sale is also $38000
