Explanation:
a. Preparation of the journal entries needed to record the asset disposal on June 1, 2021
First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation under straight line using this formula
Annual depreciation under straight line = (Cost - Residual Value)/Useful life
Let plug in the formula
Annual depreciation under straight line= ($400,000 - $64,000)/10 yrs
Annual depreciation under straight line = $33,600 per year
Second step is to calculate the Depreciation charged from Jan 2, 18 to Dec 31, 2020
Depreciation charged from Jan 2, 18 to Dec 31, 2020 = $33,600*3 yrs
Depreciation charged from Jan 2, 18 to Dec 31, 2020 = $100,800
Third step is to calculate the Depreciation from Jan 1, 2021 to June 1, 2021
Depreciation from Jan 1, 2021 to June 1, 2021
Depreciation from Jan 1, 2021 to June 1, 2021= $33,600*5/12 = $14,000
Now let Prepare the Journal entries

On January 1, 2020, Franchisee Inc. enters into a contract with Italian Fine Dining Inc. for the right (beginning immediately) to operate an Italian Fine Dining restaurant and receive on-going consulting services for a four-year period. The upfront fee of $100,000 also includes specialized equipment for $12,000. The standalone selling price of the franchise services and specialized equipment are $88,000 and $12,000, respectively. The equipment (with a cost of $9,000) was transferred to the franchisee on March 1, 2020. Determine the amount of revenue to recognize for Italian Fine Dining Inc. on December 31, 2020. Group of answer choices
Answer: $22,000
Explanation:
The total revenue to be recognized by Italian Fine Dinning Inc. is the standalone selling price for the franchise services which is $88,000.
As this contract is for a four year period, Italian Fine Dinning Inc will have to recognize the above revenue over a period of 4 years.
Revenue in December 2020 will therefore:
= 88,000 / 4
= $22,000
Consider three investment plans at an annual rate of 9.38%.
Investor A: Invest $2000 per year for the first 10 years of your career. After that, make no further investments, but reinvest the amount accumulated for the next 31 years.
Investor B: Do nothing for the first 10 years. Then start investing $2000 per year for the next 31 years.
Investor C: Invest $2000 per year for the entire duration.
Note that all investments are made at the beginning of each year, the first deposit will be made today at the beginning of age 25 (n=1), and you want to calculate the balance at age of 65 (n=41).
Answer:
Investor A = $545216 .
Investor B = $352377
Investor C = $897594
Explanation:
Annual rate ( r ) = 9.38%
N = 41 years
Calculate the balance at age of 65
1) For Investor A
balance at the end of 10 years
= $2000 (FIA, 9.38 %, 10) (1 + 0.0938) ≈ $33845
Hence at the end of 65 years ( balance )
= $33845 (FIP, 9.38 %, 31) ≈ $545216 .
2) For investor B
at the age of 65 years ( balance )
= $2000 (FIP, 9.38%, 31) = $322159 x (1 + 0.0938) ≈ $352377
3) For Investor C
at the age of 65 years ( balance )
= $2000 (FIP, 9.38%, 41) = $820620 x (1 + 0.0938) ≈ $897594

Explanation:
The information below pertains to Basselier, Inc.:
For the current year temporary differences existed between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the following:
Carrying Amount Tax Basis Future Taxable
or (Deductible)
Amount Buildings and equipment $69,000,000 $53,100,000 $15,900,000
Prepaid insurance 1,900,000 0 1,900,000
Liability-loss contingency 10,900,000 0 (10,900,000)
No temporary differences existed at the beginning of the year. Pretax accounting income was $390,000,000 and taxable income was $129,000,000 for the year and the tax rate is 40%. Permanent differences are the cause of any difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income that are not due to temporary differences.
Instructions:
Prepare one journal entry to record the tax provision for the current year. Provide supporting computations.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the tax provision is given below:
Income tax expenses $48,840,000
Deferred tax assets ($10,900,000 ×0.40) $4,360,000
To Deferred tax liability (($15,900,000 + $1,900,000)×0.40) $7,120,000
To Income tax payable ($129,000,000 ×0.40) $51,600,000
(To record income tax expenses)
Here the income tax expense and deferred tax asset should be debited as it increased the asset and expenses and credited the liability & tax payable as it increased the liability
A $64,000 machine with a 6-year class life was purchased 2 years ago. The machine will now be sold for $50,000 and replaced with a new machine costing $89,000, with a 10-year class life. The new machine will not increase sales, but will decrease operating costs by $14,000 per year. Simplified straight line depreciation is employed for both machines, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 34 percent. What is the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
Answer:
$8,639
Explanation:
The computation of the incremental annual cash flow is shown below:
= Increase in cash flows due to decrease in expenses × (1 -tax rate)+ Depreciation benefit × tax rate
= $14,000 × (1 - 0.34) + -$1,767 × (0.34)
= $9,240 - $600.78
= $8,639
Working note
Depreciation benefit = Depreciation on new machine - Depreciation on the old machine
= $89,000 ÷ 10 years - $64,000 ÷ 6 years
= $8,900 - $10,667
= -$1,767

Assume that the estimated useful life was four years, and the estimated productive life of the machine was 400,000 units. Actual annual production was as follows:
Year Units
1 120000
2 90000
3 110000
4 80000
Required:
Complete a separate depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods. (Do not round your intermediate calculation.)
a. Double-declining-balance.
b. Units-of-production.
c. Straight-line.
Answer:
See the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for the three alternative methods.
Explanation:
a. Double-declining-balance.
Note: See part a of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for Double-declining-balance method.

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%
b. Units-of-production.
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for Units-of-production method.
c. Straight-line.
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for Straight-line method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Straight-line method is calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%
Companies should try to focus on their areas of expertise. Should they always outsource other business functions to become a more modular organization?
Must be 3-4 sentences pls
Answer:
Yes. companies should try to focus on their core competencies so that they can have more time and resources to focus on delivering on their primary assignment.
Explanation:
An ICT company with a high volume of customer care related activities should consider outsourcing that service.
If their core offering is to deliver on mobile applications, it will prove counterproductive in the nearest future if they spend most of their time trying to solve problems that arise from servicing existing customers.
Outsourcing must be carefully implemented so that it does not backfire. It is critical to ensure that the total direct and indirect cost to the company far outweigh the benefits of retaining such a service internally.

Standard Direct Materials Cost per Unit Crazy Delicious Inc. produces chocolate bars. The primary materials used in producing chocolate bars are cocoa, sugar, and milk. The standard costs for a batch of chocolate (8,100 bars) are as follows: Ingredient Quantity Price Cocoa 480 lbs. $0.40 per lb. Sugar 150 lbs. $0.60 per lb. Milk 120 gal. $1.70 per gal. Determine the standard direct materials cost per bar of chocolate. If required, round to the nearest cent. $fill in the blank 1 per bar
Answer: $0.06
Explanation:
The standard direct materials cost per bar of chocolate will be:
Cocoa:
Quantity = 480 lbs.
Price = $0.40 per lb
Amount = $192
Sugar:
Quantity = 150 lbs.
Price = $0.60 per lb
Amount = $90
Milk:
Quantity = 120 gal
Price = $1.70 per gal
Amount = $204
Total amount = $192 + $90 + $204 = $486
Since there are 8100 bars of chocolate, the cost per bar will be:
= $486 / 8100
= $0.06
On July 15, 2021, Cottonwood Industries sold a patent and equipment to Roquemore Corporation for $750,000 and $325,000, respectively. On the date of the sale, the book value of the patent was $120,000, and the book value of the equipment was $400,000 (cost of $550,000 less accumulated depreciation of $150,000). Prepare the journal entries to record the sales of the patent and equipment.
Answer:
Journal entry to record the Sale of Patent
Debit : Cash $750,000
Credit : Patent at Book Value $120,000
Credit : Profit and Loss $630,000

Debit : Cash $325,000
Debit : Profit and loss $75,000
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $150,000
Credit : Equipment at Cost $550,000
Explanation:
During a sale transaction the entity recognizes 1. The Cash Proceeds resulting from the sale, 2. The Profit or loss resulting from the sale, 3.The entity derecognizes the Cost or Book Value of the Asset as well as the Accumulated depreciation.
A profit of $630,000 has been earned as a result of the sale of the Patent, whereas a loss of $75,000 has been incurred as a result of sale of Equipment.
The following information is available for the Gabriel Products Company for the month of July: Static Budget Actual Units 5,000 5,100 Sales revenue $60,000 $58,650 Variable manufacturing costs $15,000 $16,320 Fixed manufacturing costs $18,000 $17,000 Variable marketing and administrative expense $10,000 $10,500 Fixed marketing and administrative expense $12,000 $11,000 The total sales-volume variance for operating income for the month of July would be Group of answer choices $700 favorable $2,550 unfavorable $100 favorable $1,350 unfavorable
Answer: $700 Favorable
Explanation:
Total sales-volume variance = (Actual units - Static budget units) * (Contribution margin per unit of Static budget)
Contribution margin per unit of Static budget = ( Sales - Variable manufacturing costs - Variable marketing and administrative expenses) / Static units
= (60,000 - 15,000 - 10,000) / 5,000
= $7 per unit
Sales-volume variance = (5,100 - 5,000) * 7
= $700 Favorable
Actual sales are higher than budgeted sales so this is FAVORABLE.
Sheffield Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 560 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 240 $27 $ 6,480 April 15 purchase 370 32 11,840 April 23 purchase 390 35 13,650 1,000 $31,970 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
$19,090
Explanation:
LIFO assumes that the last units to arrive will be sold first. Therefore, the cost of goods sold will be based on later (recent) prices.
Therefore,
Cost of Sales = 390 units x $35 + 170 x $32 = $19,090
Shimada Products Corporation of Japan plans to introduce a new electronic component to the market at a target selling price of $15 per unit. The company is investing $5,000,000 to purchase the equipment it needs to produce and sell 300,000 units per year. Its required rate of return on all investments is 12%. Required: Compute the component’s target cost per unit.
Answer: $13 per unit
Explanation:
Thw following information can be gotten from the question:
Sales = 300000 × $15 = $4,500,000
Less: Expected profit = 12% × 5,000,000 = 600,000
Target cost = $3,900,000
Since there are 300000 units, the component’s target cost per unit will be:
= Target cost / Total units
= $3900000 / 300000
= $13 per unit

Question Help Development of computer-based technologies from the 1940s to now. People notice prices rising and an associated decrease in purchasing power. State governments in the 2010s cut their budgets for teachers, infrastructure, police, and other government expenditures.
Answer:
Aggregate demand refers to the demand for the Gross Domestic Product in a country. In other words, it is the demand for the final goods and services produced in a country within a period.
Order of effect on Aggregate Demand.
1. Development of computer-based technologies from the 1940s to now.
This will have the greatest effect on Aggregate Demand (AD) because it will lead to an increase in the long term capacity of the economy to produce goods and services thereby increasing the demand for those same goods and services.
2. State governments in the 2010s cut their budgets for teachers, infrastructure, police, and other government expenditures.
This will contribute less to AD than the one above but the effect will still be significant because government spending is a significant component of AD so reducing it will reduce AD.
3. Prices of tech stocks increase in the late 1990s as a result of a speculative bubble.
Prices of tech stocks rising will lead to more people buying these stocks thereby increasing the investment portion of AD and having a significant effect on its increase.
4. People notice prices rising and an associated decrease in purchasing power.
If people notice a decrease in purchasing power, they will begin to buy less goods and services as they cannot afford as much. This will reduce Consumption in the AD curve but will not significantly impact AD as the ones above.
5. A trade war with China in the late 2010s leads to a decrease in trade.
A trade war with China will affect the Net exports side of the AD but there will be other countries to trade with and goods will still be purchased from and sold to China in some quantity so the AD will be least affected here.

Explanation:
Blossom Company purchased $850000 of 9% bonds of Scott Company on January 1, 2021, paying $797036. The bonds mature January 1, 2031; interest is payable each July 1 and January 1. The discount of $52964 provides an effective yield of 10%. Blossom Company uses the effective-interest method and plans to hold these bonds to maturity. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Blossom Company should report interest revenue from the Scott Company bonds of: $81796. $79784. $79704. $76500.
Answer:
$79784
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Blossom Company should report interest revenue from the Scott Company bonds
First step is to calculate the increase in Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities account
Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities=($797036 × 10%/2) - ($850000 ×9%/2)
Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities=($797036 × 5%) - ($850000 ×4.5%)
Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities=$39,851.8-$38,250
Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities=$1,602
Now let calculate the Interest Revenue
Interest Revenue=[$797036 × (10%/2)]+[($797036 + $1,602) × 10%/2]
Interest Revenue=[$797036 × (10%/2)]+[($797036 + $1,602) × .05]
Interest Revenue= $39,852+$39,932
Interest Revenue= = $79784
Therefore Blossom Company should report interest revenue from the Scott Company bonds of $79784

Kenny, Inc. is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plan in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $5.3 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $7.4 million if it were sold today. The company now want to build its new plant on this land. The plant will cost $26.5 mill to build, and the site requires $1.32 mill worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? (answer in millions i.e. 12.63 for $12.63 million)
Answer:
$35.22 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Value of land today $7.4 million
Add Cost of Building $26.5 million
Add Grading cost $1.32 million
Cash flow $35.22 million
($7.4 million+$26.5 million+$1.32 million)
Therefore the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project is $35.22 million
Game theory assumes that: Group of answer choices firms anticipate rival firms' decisions when they make their own decisions. firms ignore rival firms' decisions when they make their own decisions. a firm will always follow the pricing strategy of the dominant firm in the industry. markets are contestable because there are no barriers to entry.
Answer:
firms anticipate rival firms' decisions when they make their own decisions.
Explanation:
Game theory assumes that firms anticipate rival firms' decisions when they make their own decisions. It is very important and necessary for understanding firms operating in an oligopolistic market.
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.
This ultimately implies that, under the game theory, when firms makes a decision about their business, it is expected that they consider how the other firms would react to such decisions.
Management believes that maintenance cost is a mixed cost that depends on machine hours. Use the HIGH LOW method to estimate the variable and fixed components of this cost. Compute the variable component first and round the nearest whole cent. Compute the fixed component second and round off to the nearest whole dollar. These estimates would be closest to:
Question
Management believes that maintenance cost is a mixed cost that depends on machine hours. Use the HIGH LOW method to estimate the variable and fixed components of this cost. Compute the variable component first and round the nearest whole cent. Compute the fixed component second and round off to the nearest whole dollar. These estimates would be closest to:
Machine-Hours Maintenance Cost
March 3,135 $48,340
April 3,095 $47,993
May 3,133 $48,345
June 3,157 $48,548
July 3,065 $47,733
August 3,076 $47,830
September 3,084 $47,880
October 3,125 $48,247
November 3,098 $48,014
Answer:
Variable maintenance cost per hour =$9
Fixed maintenance cost =$ 20,581
Explanation:
Using the a high and low technique, total cost can be analyzed and separated into fixed and variable portion. This analysis helps in the forecast of cost and therefore important for the preparation of budget.
Variable cost per activity unit
= (Cost at high activity - Cost at low activity)/ (high activity - low activity)
Fixed cost = Total cost at high activity - (VC per act × high activity)
So, we can apply the above formula to the given data:
High 3,157 $48,548
Low 3,065 $47,733
Variable maintenance cost = ($48,548- $47,733)/(3,157 - 3,065)
= $9
Fixed maintenance cost = 48,548 - (8.86×3,157)= $ 20,581
Variable maintenance cost per hour =$9
Fixed maintenance cost =$ 20,581
