Between January 2010 and January 2016, U.S. employment increased by 12.1 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by only 7.3 million. True or False: The labor force has remained unchanged.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

False, the labor forced increased

Explanation:

labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)

lets say L = the total labor force in 2010

by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million

net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.

During 2021, WMC Corporation discovered that its ending inventories reported in its financial statements were misstated by the following material amounts: 2019 understated by $ 124,000 2020 overstated by 154,000 WMC uses a periodic inventory system and the FIFO cost method. Required: 1. Determine the effect of these errors on retained earnings at January 1, 2021, before any adjustments. (Ignore income taxes.) 2. Prepare a journal entry to correct the errors.

Answers

Answer:

WMC Corporation

Misstatement of Ending Inventories:

1. Effect of these errors on Retained Earnings at January 1, 2021:

a) The understated amount by $124,000 in 2019 has self-corrected in 2020 with the Beginning Inventory also understated.  So, it has no effect on the Retained Earnings at January 1, 2021.

b) The overstated ending inventories by $154,000 will overstate the Retained Earnings at January 1, 2021 by the same amount.  Since it has not self-corrected like (a), the correction will be to reduce the Retained Earnings and reduce the Beginning Inventories by $154,000.

2. Journal Entry:

Debit Retained Earnings $154,000

Credit Beginning Inventories $154,000

To reverse the overstated inventories.

Explanation:

a) Data:

2019 understated by $ 124,000

2020 overstated by 154,000

g Brandon and Jane Forte file a joint tax return and decide to itemize their deductions. The Fortes' income for the year consists of $119,000 in salary, $500 interest income, $1,000 nonqualifying dividends, and $500 long-term capital gains. The Fortes' expenses for the year consist of $2,500 in investment interest expense and $800 in tax preparation fees. Assuming that the Fortes' marginal tax rate is 32 percent and they make no special elections, what is the amount of investment interest expense deduction for the year

Answers

Answer:

$1,500

Explanation:

Investment interest expenses = Interest Income + Non qualifying dividends

Investment interest expenses = $500 + $1,000

Investment interest expenses = $1,500  

$1,500 < $2,500 (Investment interest expenses)

The long term capital gains are not considered in investment income because this income is taxed at a preferential rate.  Hence, the Investment interest expenses deduction for the year is $1,500.

​Lakeside, Inc. estimated manufacturing overhead costs for the year at $377,000​, based on 180,000 estimated direct labor hours. Actual direct labor hours for the year totaled 196,000. The manufacturing overhead account contains debit entries totaling $391,000. The Manufacturing Overhead for the year was​ ________. (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal​ places, and your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.) A. $18,640 underallocated

Answers

Answer:

$18,640 over - applied

Explanation:

For calculating the over-allocated or under-allocated amount, first, we have to compute the predetermined overhead rate which is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $377,000 ÷ 180,000 hours

= $2.09

Now we have to find the actual overhead i.e.

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 196,000 hours × $2.09

= $409,640

So, the ending overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $391,000 - $409,640

= $18,640 over - applied

(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

(A) 20.54

(B) 24.46

(C) 30.88

Explanation:

(A) The current stock price can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)/0.08

=1.643/0.08

= 20.54

(B) The stock price after 3 years can be calculated as follows

Po = 1.55(1+6/100)^4/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^4/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^4/0.08

= 1.55(1.2624)/0.08

= 1.9567/0.08

= 24.46

(C) The stock price after 7 years can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)^8/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^8/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^8/(0.08)

= 1.55(1.5938)/0.08

= 2.470/0.08

= 30.88

Assuming that 50% of dividend income is taxable and a 25% tax rate, what was the company's tax liability for the year?
A. $70,000
B. $79,190
C. $90,890
D. $62,500
E. $84,560

Answers

Answer:  A. $70,000

Explanation:

The tax liability will be computed on the total income that is taxable.

Total income = Taxable income - Interest expense + Interest income + taxable dividend income

= 300,000 - 40,000 + 10,000 + (50%* 20,000)

= 300,000 - 40,000 + 10,000 + 10,000

= $280,000

Tax liability = 25% * 280,000

= $70,000

The tax liability will be computed on the total taxable income.

Computed tax liability

Formula of Total income is = Taxable income - Interest expense + Interest income + taxable dividend income.

Then = 300,000 - 40,000 + 10,000 + (50%* 20,000)

After that = [tex]300,000 - 40,000 + 10,000 + 10,000[/tex]

Now = $[tex]280,000[/tex]

Then the Tax liability is = 25% * 280,000 = $70,000

Thus, the correct option is "A" $70,000

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Total Variable cost = Ingredients used + Direct labor + Indirect materials and supplies + Utilities = $14,000  +$10,500  + $5,300  + $1,700  = $31,500

Total Fixed cost =  Managers' salaries + Rent + Depreciation on equipment (straight-line, time basis) + Other fixed costs =  $22,000  + $18,000  + $2,000  + $3,000 =  $45,000

Total cost = Total Variable cost + Total fixed cost + $31500 + $45000 = $76500

Unit costs = Total cost / Number of meals = $76500 / 4500 meals = $15.30 per meal

Receivables are valued based on their ________.
a. fair value
b. estimated amount collectible
c. lower-of-cost-or-market value
d. historical cost

Answers

Answer:

b. estimated amount collectible

Explanation:

In Financial accounting, Receivables are also known as Account Receivable. Receivables are considered to be a current asset because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Also, accounts receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.

Generally, current assets are considered to be liquid because they are listed on the balance sheet in the order (descending) in which they are expected to turn or be converted to cash within a relatively short term period.

Hence, receivables are valued based on their estimated amount collectible from customers for the goods and services taken.

U / L = s / (s + f)

Where U is unemployment, L is labor force, s is rate of separation, and f is rate of job finding.

The reason why the rate of natural unemployment will fall is because if employees are harder to fire, companies will be more careful when hiring workers, since the cost of firing a worker is now higher.

Keller Cosmetics maintains an operating profit margin of 7% and asset turnover ratio of 4.
a. What is its ROA? (Enter your answer as a whole percent.)
b. If its debt-equity ratio is 1, its interest payments are $9,300 and taxes are $10,600, and EBIT is $26,500, what is its ROE?

Answers

Answer:

a. What is its ROA?

return on assets (ROA) = profit margin x asset turnover = 7% x 4 = 28%

mathematically it can be solved this way:

profit margin = net income / total sales

total sales = net income / 7%

asset turnover = total sales / total assets

total sales = 4 x total assets

net income / 7% = 4 x total assets

ROA = net income / total assets = 7% x 4 = 28%

b. If its debt-equity ratio is 1, its interest payments are $9,300 and taxes are $10,600, and EBIT is $26,500, what is its ROE?

ROE = profit margin x asset turnover x leverage

leverage = net income / earnings before taxes

net income = EBIT - interests - taxes

net income = $26,500 - $9,300 - $10,600 = $6,600

earnings before taxes = EBIT - interests = $26,500 - $9,300 = $17,200

leverage = $6,600 / $17,200 = 0.38372

ROE = 7% x 4 x 0.38372 = 10.74416% ≈ 10.74%

Bond Ratings. Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why so you think they do so?

Answers

Answer:

Bond Ratings

Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds.  It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.

Explanation:

Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions.  While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.

The following data is for the coming year. FinCorp's Net Income is reported as $195 million. Depreciation Expense is $20 million, accounts receivable decreased by $20 million, accounts payable decreased by $10 million, and inventories increased by $10 million. The firm's interest expense is $22 million. Assume the tax rate is 35% and the net debt of the firm increases by $3 million. What is the market value of equity if the FCFE is projected to grow at 3% indefinitely and the cost of equity is 11%?

Answers

Answer:

Net Income  = $195 million

Depreciation Expense = $20 million

Decrease in Accounts receivable = $20 million

Decrease in accounts payable = $10 million,

Increase in inventories =  $10 million

Increase in Net debt = $3 million

Increase/Decrease in working capital = Increase in inventory + Decrease in Account payable - Decrease in Account Receivables

= $10 milliion + $10 million - $20 million

= $0 million

          Free Cashflow for equity calculation

Net Income                                        $195 million

Add: Depreciation                             $20 million

Less: Capital expenditure                ($0 million)

Less: Increase in working capital     ($0 million)  

Add: Increase in Net debt                 $3 million    

Free Cash flow for Equity (FCFE)    $218 million

Given FCFE growth rate (g) = 3%

          Cost if equity (RE)     = 11%

Market value of equity (VE) = FCFE / Re - g

Market value of equity = 218 million / 0.11 - 0.03

Market value of equity = 218 million / 0.08

Market value of equity = $2,725 million

A buyer always wants to pay a price that is as _____ as possible, but never _____ than the buyer's willingness to pay.

Answers

Answer: low: higher

Explanation:

A buyer always wants to pay a price that is as low as possible, but never higher than the buyer's willingness to pay.

As a way to save costs, a buyer will always seek to pay the lowest price they can possibly pay for a good or service. This is why some buyers negotiate prices and seek trade discounts.

Buyers will however have in mind a maximum price that they would be willing to pay. This is called their willingness to pay and it is a threshold that they would not want to exceed. If a good's price is higher than their willingness to pay, they will not buy the good.

All three of the $5000 billion GDP figures (Production, Income and Spending) are in ____________ dollars.

Answers

Answer: D inflation adjusted, real

Explanation:

The GDP calculation acquired in the flow chart of $5,000 billion were all done after adjusting for inflation which means that they were in real dollars.

Inflation adjusted GDP enables more effective comparison between different periods as inflation tends to inflate the prices of goods and services and can make one think that the economy has grown more than it actually has.

When the value of GDP is inflation adjusted, it can then be seen just how much the economy improved or shrank.
