The concept and principle require that expenses and revenue are matched in the period they were incurred and not when they were actually paid for or received.
Tiptop Flight School offers flying lessons at a small municipal airport. The school's owner and the manager have been attempting to evaluate performance and control costs using a variance report that compares the planning budget to actual results. A recent variance report appears below:
Tiptop Flight School

Lessons 155 150
Revenue $33,900 $33,000 $900 F

Total expense 25,820 24,970 850 U
Net operating income $8,080 $8,030 $50 F
After several months of using such variance reports, the owner has become frustrated. For example. she is quite confident that instructor wages were very tightly controlled in July. but the report shows an unfavorable variance. The planning budget was developed using the following formulas, where q is the number of lessons sold:
Cost Formulas
Revenue $220 q
Instructor wages $65 q
Aircraft depreciation $38 q
Fuel $15 q
Maintenance $530 + $12 q
Ground facility expenses $1,250 + $2 q
Administration $3,240 + $1 q
Required:
1. Should the owner feel frustrated with the variance reports? Explain.
2. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the school for July.
3. Evaluate the school's performance for July.
Answer:
1. Should the owner feel frustrated with the variance reports?
Yes, because they were incomplete. Since the quantity of lessons is larger than the budgeted, you must prepare a flexible budget. The flexible budget shows that there exists a total unfavorable variance of $385. E.g. , regarding the pilots' salaries, there is a favorable variance in the flexible budget.
2. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the school for July.
I used an excel spreadsheet to prepare a flexible budget and I attached it.
3. Evaluate the school's performance for July.
The school's performance is neither good or bad because it has higher revenues than estimated (even though it lowered its sales price), but their costs are also higher than budgeted. They are doing a good job at selling their lessons, but a bad job of keeping costs under control. The overall variance is not that significant, but it is still unfavorable. Their fuel expenses should be controlled since the largest unfavorable variance results from spending too much fuel.

1. The school proprietor should not feel frustrated with the variance reports as they are meant to provide guidance and not a feeder for frustration. A careful review of the variance reports will help the owner to understand the cost dynamics for improvements.
2. The flexible budget performance report for the school in the month of July is as follows:

3. The school's performance in July is not encouraging based on the flexible budget. There may be the need for the owner to review the price per lesson upward, keeping customers' effective demand in mind.
Data and Calculations:
The actual number of lessons for July, q = 155
Flexing the Budget:
Revenue $220 q = $34,100
Instructor wages $65 q = $10,075
Aircraft depreciation $38 q = $5,890

Answer:
e. All of these choices are correct.
Explanation:
The payback period is the time that takes an investment to reach the break-even point. In other words, it is the amount of time that it takes an investor to pay back for the investment, hence the name.
The payback period results from dividing the amount of investment by the estimated cash flow from the investment.
During this period, the manager of an investment can carry out all of the activities listed in the question.
A couple owns a life insurance policy with a Children’s Term rider. Their daughter is reaching the maximum age of dependent coverage, so she will have to convert to permanent insurance in the near future. Which of the following will she need to provide for proof of insurability?
1. Medical exam and parental medical history
2. Medical exam
3. Proof of insurability is not required
4. Her parent's federal income tax receipts
Answer:
3. Proof of insurability is not required
Explanation:
Proof of insurability is not required because if a children's term rider is attached to a life insurance policy, then children are protected or covered by this insurance till they reach a particular age, which happens to be the maximum age stated in the policy. From that age they can convert their insurance coverage to a permanent
life insurance policy without having to issue proof of insurability as it would not be required because a child rider locks in future insurability. The can child rider can be purchased with an individual life insurance policy.
Levi Corporation (a U.S. company) has several transactions with foreign entities. Each transaction is denominated in the local currency unit of the country in which the foreign entity is located. On December 2, 20X1, Levi sold confectionary items to a foreign company at a price of 50,000 yen when the direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.15. The account has not been settled as of the year ended December 31, 20X1, when the exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.12. The foreign exchange gain or loss on Levi's records at year-end for this transaction will be
Answer: $1500 loss
Explanation:
From the question, On December 2, 20X1, Levi sold confectionary items to a foreign company by selling at a price of 50,000 yen when direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.15.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.15
= $57500
The account has not been settled as of the year ended December 31, 20X1, when exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.12.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.12
= $56000
Foreign exchange loss:
= $57500 - $56000
= $1500 loss
Leonard Technologies invests $ 62,000 to acquire $ 62,000 face value, 8%, fiveminusyear corporate bonds on December 31, 2014. The bonds will mature on December 31, 2019. The bonds pay interest semiannually on December 31 and June 30 every year until maturity. Assume Leonard Technologies uses a calendar year. Based on the information provided, which of the following will be included in the journal entry for the transaction on December 31, 2018?
a. a debit to Interest Revenue for $5,400
b. a credit to Interest Revenue for $2,700
c. a debit to Interest Revenue for $2,700
d. a credit to Interest Revenue for $5,400
Answer:
Find attached correct question that matches the options provided in this question:
The correct option is B, a credit to Interest Revenue for $2,700
Explanation:
The semiannual coupon interest receivable from the bond investment is the face value of $54,000 multiplied by 10% adjusted to reflect a six month revenue rather than a year a shown below:
semiannual interest receipt=$54,000*10%*6/12=$2,700
The $2,700 would be debited to cash as an income while also being credited to interest revenue ,hence option B is correct
The following items are reported on a company's balance sheet: Cash $510,000 Marketable securities 398,500 Accounts receivable (net) 338,900 Inventory 346,500 Accounts payable 693,000 Determine (a) the current ratio and (b) the quick ratio. Round to one decimal place. a. Current ratio b. Quick ratio
Answer:
Current ratio= 2.3
Quick ratio= 1.8
Explanation:
Cash=$510,000
Marketable securities= $398,000
Account receivables= $338,900
Inventory= $346,000
Account payable = $693,000
Curent ratio= current assets/current liability
Current assets= cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivables+inventory
Current liability= Account payable
($510,000+$398,000+$338,900+$346,000)/$693,000
= $1,592,900/$693,000
= 2.29
Current ratio = 2.3 ( to 1 decimal place)
ii) Quick ratio= ( cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivable)/Current liability
=$510,000+$398,000+$338,900/$693,000
= $1,246,900/$693,000
= 1.79.
Quick ratio = 1.8 ( to 1 decimal place)
Answer: Current ratio 2.3
Quick ratio 1.8
Explanation:
Given Data:
Cash = $510,000
Marketable securities = $398,500
Account receivable ( net) = $338,900
Inventory = $346,500
Accounts payable = $693,000
( a.) The current ratio : this helps to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities
= current assets / current liabilities
Currents assets = ( cash + marketable securities + inventory + account receivable )
= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900 + 346,500)
= $1,593,900
Current liabilities = $693,000
Current ratio = $1,593,900 / $693,000
= 2.3
(b) Quick ratio is the ratio of quick asset against current liabilities.
Quick assets ( cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable)
= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900)
= $1,247,400
Quick ratio = $1,247,400 / $693,000
= 1.8

Faber Products has $35 million of sales and $9.75 million of net income. Its total assets are $150 million. Assume the company’s total assets equal total invested capital, and its capital structure consists of 40% debt and 60% common equity. The firm’s interest rate is 4%, and its tax rate is 21%. What would happen if this firm used less leverage (debt)?
Answer:
If the firm uses less leverage, its ROE will decrease since the cost of equity is much higher than the cost of debt. If all debt is eliminated, then ROE will decrease to 7.764% from 10.83%.
Explanation:
net income = $9.75 million
capital structure:
$90 million equity$60 million debtinterest rate = 4% and tax rate = 21%
current return on equity (ROE) = $9.75 / $90 = 10.83%
current return of assets (ROA) = $9.75 / $150 = 6.5%
cost of debt = 4% x (1 - 21%) = 3.16%
if the company issues more equity to lower debt to 0, then:
net income = $9.75 + [$60 million x 4% x (1 - 21%)] = $9.75 + $1.896 = $11.646 million
return on equity (ROE) = $11.646 / $150 = 7.764%
return of assets (ROA) = $11.646 / $150 = 7.764%

Explanation:
We first remove the non.monetary concepts from the net income.
Then we adjust for the change in working capital which are the increase and decrease in the current assets and liabilities account
Increase in asset and decrease in liabilities represent cash outflow
while the opposite is true when an asset decrease(convert to cash) or a liability increase (delay of the payment)
Dividends Paid Calculation:
Beginning R/E 685 + 3,180 Income - Ending R/E 830 = 3,035

a. Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
b. Anticybersquatting Espionage Act.
c. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
d. Berne Convention.
Answer:
c. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Explanation:
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is a cyber security bill that was enacted in 1986 and is an amendment of of Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984.
The acts forbids a person to access a computer without proper authorisation or an excess of required authority.
Before this time cybercrime was prosecuted as mail and wire fraud. This was often inadequate.
Other provisions the act addresses are distribution of malicious code, denial of service attacks, and trafficking in passwords
g Real and nominal variables are highly intertwined, and changes in the money supply change real GDP. Most economists would agree that this statement accurately describes a. both the short run and the long run. b. the short run, but not the long run. c. the long run, but not the short run. d. neither the long run nor the short run.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
GDP usually, is fixed in the short run. Thus, in the short-term, money supply will increase aggregate demand and prices will follow.
In the long term, however, real GDP (which is economic output that has been adjusted for price fluctuations), an increase in the money supply will create an increase in the GDP due to aggregate demand.
The US economy, for example, displays a strong positive correlation between the amount of money supplied and it's GDP growth between 1994 and 2009.

In 2016, Hudson Corp. sold 3,000 units at $150.00 each. Variable expenses were $113.00 per unit, and fixed expenses were $58,240. The same variable expenses per unit and fixed expenses are expected for 2017. If the company cuts selling price by 6.00%, what is its break-even point in units for 2017?
Answer:
Break even in units (2017) = 2080 units
Explanation:
The break even point in units is the number of units where the total revenue equals total cost. It is a point of no profit and no loss. The break even point in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
A cut in selling price of 6% would mean that the new selling price will be,
New selling price = 150 - (150 * 0.06) = $141
Contribution margin per unit = 141 - 113 = $28
Break even in units = 58240 / 28
Break even in units (2017) = 2080 units
Granger Company had January 1 inventory of $150,000 when it adopted dollar-value LIFO. During the year, purchases were $900,000 and sales were $1,500,000. December 31 inventory at year-end prices was $189,750, and the price index was 110. What is Granger Company’s gross profit?
Answer:
$624, 750
Explanation:
Purchases = 900,000
Sales = 1500000
Price index = 110%
Inventory= 189750
1,500,000 - [{($150,000 x 110%) + $900,000} - $189,750]
=1,500,000 - [($150,000 x 1.1) + $900,000] - $189,750
= 1,500,000 - (1065000 - 189750)
= 1,500,000 - 875250
=$624,750
Gross profit. = $624750

You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: guppy gummies raskels, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between guppy gummies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between guppy gummies and raskels, and then between guppy gummies and cannies. In the second column, determine if guppy gummies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with guppy gummies. Relative to Guppy Gummies Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing with Guppy Gummies Raskels Cannies
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Here, when the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%.
i.e, % change in price of guppy grummies = 5%
% change in quantity of raskels = -4%
% change in quantity of cannes = 5%
i) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and raskels. Use the expression below.
% change in quantity demanded of raskels / % change in price of guppy gummies
= -4% / 5%
= -0.8
Substitute goods have a negative cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is negative, the goods are substitute.
It is recommended not to advertise raskels with guppy grummies
ii) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and cannes. Use the expression below.
% change in quantity demanded of cannes / % change in price of guppy gummies

Oriole Company has the following items: common stock, $1610000; treasury stock, $217000; deferred income taxes, $254000 and retained earnings, $782000. What total amount should Oriole Company report as stockholders’ equity?
Answer:
Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.
Explanation:
Stockholders' equity is also the corporation's total book value. In other word, it is the amount of difference between the Corporation Asset and its liability
Stockholders' equity for Oriole company can be derived using : Common stock + Retained earnings - Treasury stock
Stockholders' equity = 1,610,000 + 782,000 - 217,000
Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.
We also need to know that deferred income taxes is not a component of stockholders' equity thus it will not be considered in stockholders' equity calculation.
Correct answer is $ 21,75,000.

A travel agent wants to determine how much the average client is willing to pay for a weekend at an all-expense paid resort. The agent surveys 30 clients and finds that the average willingness to pay is $2,500 with a standard deviation of $840. However, the travel agent is not satisfied and wants to be 95% confident that the sample mean falls within $150 of the true average. What is the minimum number of clients the travel agent should survey
Answer:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.960(840)}{150})^2 =120.47 \approx 121[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=12 rounded up to the next integer
Explanation:
[tex]\bar X=2500[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
s=840 represent the sample standard deviation
n represent the sample size
The margin of error is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that ME =150 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2[/tex] (b)
The critical value for 95% of confidence interval, the significance level if 5% and the critical value would be [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.960[/tex], replacing into formula (b) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.960(840)}{150})^2 =120.47 \approx 121[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=12 rounded up to the next integer

Suppose the government is considering an increase in the toll on a certain stretch of highway from $.40 to $.50. At present, 50,000 cars per week use that highway stretch; after the toll is imposed, it is projected that only 45,000 cars per week will use the highway stretch. Assuming that the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the supply schedule is horizontal) and equal to $.40 per car, what is the change in social surplus attributable to the increase in the toll
Answer:
$250 is the change in social surplus attributable to the increase in the toll
Explanation:
Suppose the government increase in toll on a certain stretch of highways by this caused a dead-weight loss occur and then resulting full in the number of cars using the highway.
Dead-weight loss = (0.5) (0.50-0.40) (50,000-45,000)
Dead-weight loss = 0.5 * 0.10 * 5000
Dead-weight loss = $250
The increase paid by other remaining drivers (0.50-0.40)(40,000) can be viewed as transfer from drivers to the government.
Sort the items below into two main categories: whether demand for each type of good is relatively elastic or relatively inelastic.
A. Goods that are narrowly defined.
B. Goods on which consumers spend a small share of their budget.
C. Consumers have a long time to adjust to a change in price.
D. Goods that have a large number of available substitutes.
E. Goods that are necessities.
Answer:
A. Relatively elastic
B. Relatively inelastic
C. Relatively elastic
D. Relatively elastic
E. Relatively inelastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes
Demand is inelastic if there's little or no change in quantity demanded when the price of the good changes.
If Consumers have a long time to adjust to a change in price, demand is usually elastic because consumers would have enough time to adjust to price changes. For example, if the price of the good has increased and the consumer has enough time to adjust to the price change, the consumer would have enough time to find cheaper suitable substitutes.
The elasticity of demand for necessities is usually inelastic because consumers have no choice but to buy the product. For example, water is considered a necessity. If the price of a bottle of water increases, consumers have no choice but to consume water so they would keep buying the bottle of water despite the increase in price.
Goods that have many substitutes usually have an elastic demand because the good can be easily replaced with the numerous substitutes available.
Goods on which consumers spend a small share of their budget usually have an inelastic demand. For example, if you earn $500,000 and you usually buy a product for 10 cents and the price increases to 15 cents, you would probably not stop purchasing the product as a result of the price increase since it constitutes a negligible part of your budget.
Goods that are narrowly defined have an elastic demand. For example, there are many substitutes for bread but there are no subsituites for food.

April 27 Paid full amount of accounts payable created on April 7
April 30 Cash dividends of $2,500 were paid to stockholders.
Answer:
See attached.
Explanation:
The question requires business events to be analyzed chronologically with each event's impact on the accounting equation.
The accounting equation states that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). The implication of this equation is that given each business transaction, Assets will always be equal to Liabilities and Equity. Two accounts or more are usually affected by each transaction. It may be two assets accounts or one asset and liabilities, etc. Expenses and Income impact the Retained Earnings, which is part of the Equity.
Assets are the resources owned by the business, while liabilities are financial obligations to third parties that contribute to the owned resources. Equity is the funds contributed by the stockholders, including the earnings retained from business. Equity, therefore, represents the ownership interest in the assets after liabilities have been deducted.
