Sunland Company has $4050000 of 8% convertible bonds outstanding. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of $30 par value common stock. The bonds pay interest on January 31 and July 31. On July 31, 2021, the holders of $1250000 bonds exercised the conversion privilege. On that date the market price of the bonds was 106 and the market price of the common stock was $35. The total unamortized bond premium at the date of conversion was $288000. Sunland should record, as a result of this conversion, a
Answer: credit of $213876.80 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par.
Explanation:
First and foremost, we have to calculate the exercised ratio which will be:
= Converted value for bonds / Total value if convertible bonds
= $1250000 / $4050000
= 0.3086
The unamortized premium will then be calculated thus:
= $1250000 + ($288000 × 0.3086) - (1250 × $30 × 30)
= $1250000 + $88876.80 - $1125000
= $213876.80
Therefore, credit of $213876.80 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par.
Residents of a small nation, Paulastan, idolize the TV show American Idol. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs. The chart below shows the price and quantity of each good sold in 2015 and 2016.
Karaoke Machines CDs
Quanriry Price Quantity Price
2015 10 $40 30 $10
2016 12 $60 50 $12
Required:
a. Using a method similar to GDP deflator, compute the percentage change in the overall price level. Use 2015 as the base year.
b. Using a method similar to the consumer price index, compute the percentage change in the overall price level. Also, use 2015 as the base year and fix the basket at 1 karaoke machine and 3 CDs.
c. Is the inflation rate in 2016 the same using the two methods? Explain why or why not.
Answer:
A. 37.14
B. 34.70%
C. Not the same
Explanation:
a) Computation of the percentage change in the overall price leve
in 2015 basket price = 1*40+3*10 = $70
in 2015, basket price = 1*60+3*12 = $96
taking 2015 as base year
CPI in 2015 = 70/70 * 100 = 100
CPI in 2016 = 96/70 *100 = 137.14
%age change in price level = 137.14 - 100 = 37.14
b) Computation of the percentage change in the overall price level
GDP deflator = nominal GDP/real GDP * 100
in 2015 : (2015 as base year)
nominal GDP = 10*40+30*10
nominal GDP= $700
real GDP = 10*40+30*10
real GDP = $700
GDP deflator = 700/700 *100
GDP deflator = 100
in 2016 :
nominal GDP = 12*60+50*12
nominal GDP = $1320
real GDP = 12*40+50*10
real GDP = $980
GDP deflator = 1320/980 *100
GDP deflator = 134.70
%age change in price level based on GDP deflator = 134.70 - 100
%age change in price level based on GDP deflator = 34.70%
c) Based on the above calculation for the two methods the inflation rate in 2016 are not the same using the two methods reason been that CPI is 37.14% and GDP deflator is 34.70% .

An office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement. The report indicates that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months. On the basis of this information, determine the percentage of scanners that can be expected to fail in the following time periods:
a. Before 38 months of service
b. Between 40 and 45 months of service
c. Within ± 2 months of the mean life
Answer:
a) 22.663%
b) 44%
c) 38.3%
Explanation:
An office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement. The report indicates that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months. On the basis of this information, determine the percentage of scanners that can be expected to fail in the following time periods:
We solve the above question using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean = 41 months
σ is the population standard deviation = 4 months
a. Before 38 months of service
Before in z score score means less than 38 months
Hence,
z = 38 - 41/4
z = -0.75
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<38) = 0.22663
Converting to percentage = 0.22663 × 100
= 22.663%
b. Between 40 and 45 months of service
For x = 40 months
z = 40 - 41/4
z = -0.2
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x = 40) = 0.40129
For x = 45
z = 45 - 41/4
z = 1
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x = 45) = 0.84134
Between 40 and 45 months of service
= 0.84134 - 0.40129
= 0.44005
Converting to Percentage
= 0.44005 × 100
= 44.005%
= 44%
c. Within ± 2 months of the mean life
+ 2 months = 41 months + 2 months
= 43 months
- 2 months = 41 months - 2 months
= 39 months
For x = 43
z = 43 - 41 /4
z = 0.5
P-value from Z-Table:
P(x = 43) = 0.69146
For x = 39
z = 39 - 41/4
z = -2/4
z = -0.5
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x = 39) = 0.30854
Within ± 2 months of the mean life
= 0.69146 - 0.30854
= 0.38292
= 38.3%

Copy Center pays an average wage of $13 per hour to employees for printing and copying jobs, and allocates $18 of overhead for each employee hour worked. Direct materials are assigned to each job according to actual cost. Jobs are marked up 15% above total manufacturing cost to determine the selling price. If Job M-47 used $355 of direct materials and took 20 direct hours of labor to complete, what is the selling price of the job
Answer:
$1,121.25
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price of the job is shown below:
But before that the total cost need to be determined
Total cost is
= Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Factory overhead
= $355 + ($13 × 20) + ($18 × 20)
= $355 + $260+ $360
= $975
Now Selling price of the job is
= Total cost × (100 + 15%)
= $975 × 115%
= $1,121.25
Job 910 was recently completed. The following data have been recorded on its job cost sheet: Direct materials $ 2,434 Direct labor-hours 72 labor-hours Direct labor wage rate $ 14 per labor-hour Machine-hours 132 machine-hours The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $15 per machine-hour. The total cost that would be recorded on the job cost sheet for Job 910 would be:
Answer:
$5,422
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost that should be recorded is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost
= $2,434 + (72 labor hours × $14) + (132 machine hours × $15)
= $2,434 + $1,008 + $1,980
= $5,422
hence, the total cost is $5,422

2,500 units and 10,000 units per month. Per-unit costs at two
different activity levels for each cost type are presented below.
Type A Type B Type C Total
5,000 units $4 $9 $4 $17
7,500 units $4 $6 $3 $13
To find - If Shum produces 10,000 units, the total cost would be ?
Proof -
As we know that
Total cost = Variable cost per unit × Units + Fixed Cost
Now,
As per the question ,
Highest Activity unit = 7,500 units
Lowest Activity unit = 5,000 units
Now,
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost / Change in activity unit
= ( Highest Activity cost - Lowest Activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity unit - Lowest Activity unit )
Type A Type B Type C
Highest Activity Cost 30,000 45,000 22,500
Lowest Activity Cost 20,000 45,000 20,000
Variable Cost Per unit 4 0 1
Fixed Cost 0 90,000 15,000

Which of the following is not covered by the Consumer Products Safety Act (CPSA)?
developing separate or "case by case" standards for each product
promoting research and investment into preventing product-related deaths and injuries
minimizing conflicting state and local regulations
evaluating the safety of consumer products
Answer:
I think it’s A
Explanation:
The Consumer Goods Safety Act does not cover the creation of distinct or "case by case" rules for each product (CPSA). As a result, choice (A) is the correct one.
What do you meant by Products Safety Act?Congress in the United States passed the Consumer Safety Act (CPSA) on October 27, 1972. The act should not be confused with an earlier Senate Joint Resolution 33 from November 20, 1967, which just established a temporary National Commission on Product Safety (NCPS) for only 90 days (at a pitiful cost of $100 per day).
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was created as a permanent independent agency of the United States federal government under Section 4 of the 1972 legislation, and this section also outlined the CPSC's primary functions. In accordance with the law, the CPSC is empowered to create safety regulations and prosecute product recalls for those that pose a disproportionately high risk of causing harm to customers or their deaths.

Define liquidity risk and explain how it relates to bonds and bond yields.
Answer:
Liquidity risk is the inability to quickly sell a bond for its full value. This risk exists primarily in thinly traded issues. Default risk is the likelihood the issuer will default on its bond obligations and is the basis for bond ratings.
Liquidity is a prime determiner of yield spreads, explaining up to half of the cross-sectional variation in spread levels and up to two times the cross-sectional variation in spread changes that is explained by the effects of credit rating alone.
Liquidity risk Liquidity refers to the investor's ability to sell a bond quickly and at an efficient price, as reflected in the bid-ask spread. High-yield bonds can sometimes be less liquid than investment-grade bonds, depending on the issuer and the market conditions at any given time.

Roquan, a single taxpayer, is an attorney and practices as a sole proprietor. This year, Roquan had net business income of $90,000 from his law practice (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction). Assume that Roquan pays $40,000 in wages to his employees, has $10,000 of property (unadjusted basis of equipment he purchased last year), and has no capital gains or qualified dividends. His taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $100,000.
1. Calculate Roquan's deduction for qualified business income.
2. Assume the same facts as earlier, except Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $300,000.
Answer:
A. $18,000
B. No QBI deduction
Explanation:
a) Calculation for Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income.
Using this formula
Roquan's qualified business income.
= 20% x QBI
Let plug in the formula
Roquan's qualified business income
= 20% x $90,000
Roquan's qualified business income= $18,000
Therefore Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income will be $18,000
b) Based on the information given if we assumed that Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is the amount of $300,000 which means that Roquan's income is higher than the amount of $213,300 hence, NO qualified business income deduction (QBI) will be allowed.

401k is the investment option offered by Jenifer’s employer to her.
What is a 401K plan?Popularly known as an employer-sponsored retirement plan, a 401(K) plan allows certain eligible employees to make tax-deferred contributions from their pay or compensation, based on pre-established criteria. A 401(k) match is money put into your account by your employer. Up to a predetermined percentage of your pay, your company will match all or a portion of every dollar you put into your 401(k). Employer matching is a crucial perk of your employment that, over time, can greatly increase your 401(k) retirement savings. The employer contribution is pre-tax, whereas the employee contribution is post-tax.
Employers who offer 401(K) plans are also allowed to include a profit-sharing component in the plan as well as make matching or non-elective payments to the plan on behalf of eligible employees.
The typical 401(k) plan is very versatile and provides close to 25 distinct investment possibilities. The fund fees, which were formerly a significant problem, have been steadily declining, which lessens the strain on employees' retirement funds. In fact, the 401(k) contributions that invested a sizeable sum in these index funds as low cost and low risk methods of engaging in the equity markets are responsible for the index funds' quick surge in popularity in the US, including Vanguard and Blackrock. Employees have access to a low-cost way to invest for the future, and since 401(k) contribution limits are inflation-indexed, participants can gradually make higher contributions.
Employers most frequently match worker contributions up to a percentage of annual income. There are a number possible ways to implement this constraint. Your employer has the option of matching all of your contributions up to a certain percentage of your overall compensation or only a portion of them. The latter circumstance necessitates you to make additional contributions to your plan in order to earn the maximum match, even while the overall cap on employer contributions stays the same.

Answer:The bonus that is granted to Smith and Johnson equals:$5,500
that is $2750 each for Smith and Johnson since they share equally.
Explanation:
Given that
Smith's capital balance = $56,000
Johnson's capital balance = $42,000
Since the partners agree to accept Benson with 25% interest
Benson invests $40,000
Now, After allowing Benson,
Total Partnership Equity =Smith's Capital + Johnson's Capital + Benson's Investment
=$56,000 + $42,000 +$40,000 = $138,000
The share of Benson in equity is given as,
$138,000 x 25% = $34,500
The Bonus that is present for Smith and Johnson is
Benson's investment - Benson share of equity
= $40,000 - $34,500
=$5,500
Thus,
When equally shared becomes $2750 each for both Smith and Johnson

Ratio of actual 2019 USAID spending to the 2019 budget = $16.8 billion/$4.4 trillion = 0.038 or 4%
b) Comparing the U.S. federal budget this year to previous years' is not relevant to the issue of foreign aid spending. Instead, the comparison should concentrate on issues connected to foreign aid.
