The following is a description of the conversion cycle of Central Production Limited:
The conversion cycle of the company is triggered by a report from the warehouse. When the quantity of an inventory item falls below a pre-set minimum level, the warehouse manager sends an online inventory status report to production department advising them to schedule a production batch run for the item.
Upon receipt of the report, the production clerk assesses the digital bill of materials and the route sheet files for the item to be produced and adds the production details to the online production schedule.
The system automatically adds a record to the open work order file and sends an online work order to the work centre supervisor’s computer and to the accounting clerk’s computer.
The work centre supervisor receives the work order from his computer and print hard-copy move tickets and materials requisitions for each production process. Production employees take the materials requisitions to store clerk and receives the materials and subassemblies needed to perform the production tasks. If additional materials beyond the standard amount is needed, the work centre supervisor prepares additional materials requisitions.
Production employees complete job time tickets after completing a production process to record the time spent on the job. The job time tickets are then sent together with the move tickets to the accounting department.
After releasing the materials into production, the store clerk updates the material inventory records and send the materials requisitions to accounting department. The clerk prepares a journal voucher and posts to the general ledger material control account at the end of each day.
The accounting clerk assesses the work orders and set up a work-in-process account for a production batch. Throughout the production period, the clerk also receives move tickets, job tickets, and materials requisitions, which he uses to post to the work-in-process account. At the end of each day, the accounting clerk prepares a digital journal voucher and post it to the general ledger work-in- process and finished goods control accounts.
Identify the risks exist in the conversion cycle of Central Production Limited. (10 marks, maximum 300 words)
Answer: Provided in the explanation section
Explanation:
Conversion Cycle is the cycle which track records for the arrangement of crude material to completed products.
Here on the best possible perspective all in all of the procedure:
1. Triger by distribution center dept ( Raw material Keeper)
2. Produnction chief updates the request to be finished and include further up and coming requests assuming any.
3.It will produce online request slip and straightforwardly post to chiefs tab + bookkeeper tab
4. Manager take material and issue to gathering dept ( abundance material necessity is given by his position too)
5. Time + work both finished card sare sent to Accountanct
6. When request finished Accountant update the WIP just as Inventory in books.
Hazard in the Conversion Cycle:
After receipt of material and charging it to FG as Inventory in books
- Risk is hindering of assets in overabundance keeping of stock, As material level down after a specific level automatc trigger alternative is set up, which cautions the productin withdraw. to decide the future prerequisite according to the productin request in hands ( Good control set up)
Second, Online workorder to Supervisior, All chief gets their no. of creation request ( to be finished on the web) - Good control set up
Third, Supervisor on hand, place the material prerequisite ( and if any overabundance necessity - " NO FURTHER APPROVAL" is made to store representative. here hazard is medium over the demand well beyond the Order indicates by the creation dept.
Fourthly, creation representatives itself are getting ready thier work tickets ( " NO AUTHENTICATION")- As tickets are finished by creation representatives itself control of information info or its endorsement is inadequate.
Fifth, Accountant decides himeslef the WIP , FG of the request over the crude information got as employment card, time card, material order Risk is bookkeeper simply need to verifiy the information from the information got from the creation L2 official as opposed to himself keep up the quantities of the activity.
From above it is anything but difficult to catch the degree of hazard at different level in the above procedure of Central creation Limited.
During the first month of operations ended August 31, Kodiak Fridgeration Company manufactured 80,000 mini refrigerators, of which 72,000 were sold. Operating data for the month are summarized as follows: 1 Sales $10,800,000.00 2 Manufacturing costs: 3 Direct materials $6,400,000.00 4 Direct labor 1,600,000.00 5 Variable manufacturing cost 1,280,000.00 6 Fixed manufacturing cost 320,000.00 9,600,000.00 7 Selling and administrative expenses: 8 Variable $1,080,000.00 9 Fixed 180,000.00 1,260,000.00Required:
1. Prepare an income statement based on the absorption costing concept.*
2. Prepare an income statement based on the variable costing concept.*
3. Explain the reason for the difference in the amount of income from operations reported in (1) and (2).
Answer:
Absorption Costing Net Income 1008,000
Variable Costing Net Income 976,000
Explanation:
Kodiak Fridgeration Company
Units Produced = 80,000
Units Sold = 72,000
Ending Inventory = 8000
Per Units Cost
Direct materials $6,400,000/80,000 = $ 80
Direct labor 1,600,000 /80,000= $ 20
Variable manufacturing cost 1,280,000/80,000= $ 16
Fixed manufacturing cost 320,000 /80,000 = $ 4
Absorption Manufacturing Cost per unit= 9,600,000/80,000= $ 120
Variable Manufacturing Costs per unit = $ 116
Kodiak Fridgeration Company
Income Statement
Absorption Costing
Sales $10,800,000
Manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $6,400,000
Direct labor 1,600,000
Variable manufacturing cost 1,280,000
Fixed manufacturing cost 320,000 9,600,000
Less Ending Inventory (8000*120) (960,000)
Cost of Goods Sold 86,40,000
Gross Profit 2160,000
Selling and administrative expenses:
Variable $ 72,000* 13.5= 972,000
Fixed 180,000
Net Income 1008,000
Kodiak Fridgeration Company
Income Statement
Variable Costing
Sales $10,800,000
Variable manufacturing cost
(80,000*116) 9280,000
Less Ending Inventory ( 8000*116) 928,000
Cost of Goods Sold 83,52,000
Gross Contribution Margin 2448,000
Variable Selling and administrative expenses
(72000 * $1,080,000/80,000) 972,000
Contribution Margin 1476,000
Less Fixed Expenses
Fixed manufacturing cost 320,000
Fixed 180,000 500,000
Net Income 976,000
3. The difference in absorption and variable costing income is because in absorption costing the fixed costs are treated as unit cost and in variable costs the fixed costs are treated as period costs. Also the fixed costs of the ending units is deducted in absorption costing where it is not deducted in variable costing.

A building is acquired on January 1, at a cost of $960,000 with an estimated useful life of 10 years and salvage value of $86,400. Compute depreciation expense for the first three years using the double-declining-balance method. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Year 1 - $192,000
Year 2 - = $153,600
Year 3 - $122,880
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 x (1/10) = 0.2
Depreciation expense in the first year = 0.2 x $960,000 = $192,000
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $960,000 - $192,000 = $768,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.2 x $768,000 = $153,600
Book value in year 3 = $768,000 - $153,600 = $614,400
Depreciation expense in year 3 = 0.2 x $614,400 = $122,880

On July 1, 2016, Farm Fresh Industries purchased a specialized delivery truck for $264,000. At the time, Farm Fresh estimated the truck to have a useful life of eight years and a residual value of $24,000. On March 1, 2021, the truck was sold for $115,000. Farm Fresh uses the straight-line depreciation method for all of its plant and equipment. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service.Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to update depreciation in 2021 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the truck. 3. Assuming that the truck was instead sold for $141,000, prepare the journal entry to record the sale.
Answer:
1.
1 March 2021
Depreciation expense $5000 Dr
Accumulated depreciation-Delivery truck $5000 Cr
2.
1 March 2021
Accumulated depreciation-Delivery truck 140000 Dr
Cash 115000 Dr
Loss on Disposal 9000 Dr
Delivery Truck 264000 Cr
3.
1 March 2021
Accumulated depreciation-Delivery truck 140000 Dr
Cash 141000 Dr
Delivery Truck 264000 Cr
Gain on disposal 17000 Cr
Explanation:
1.
Depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of an asset's cost over its estimated useful life.
The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense each period. The formula for depreciation expense per period under this method is,
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful life of the asset
The depreciation expense per year of delivery truck under this method will be,
Depreciation expense per year = (264000 - 24000) / 8 = $30000 per year
The depreciation expense to be charged in 2021 will be for 2 months.
Depreciation expense 2021 = 30000 * 2/12 = $5000
2.
The accumulated depreciation of truck on 1 March 2021 is,
Depreciation for 6 months of 2016 = 30000 * 6/12 = $15000
Depreciation for 4 years (2017 to 2020) = 30000 * 4 = $120000
Depreciation for 2 months of 2021 = $5000
Accumulated depreciation at 1 March 2021 = 15000 + 120000 + 5000
Accumulated depreciation at 1 March 2021 = $140000
Net Carrying value of asset = 264000 - 140000 = $124000
Loss on disposal as asset is sold for less than its carrying value is,
loss on disposal = 115000 - 124000 = - $9000 (loss on disposal)
3.
As the asset is sold for more than its carrying value, the gain on disposal is,
Gain on disposal = 141000 - 124000 = $17000 (gain on disposal)
Capitan Inc. made an entry to record the return of inventory that the company previously purchased on account. If the company uses a perpetual inventory system, the entry to record the returned inventory includes a:____________
Answer:
Dr Accounts payable
Cr Merchandise inventory
Explanation:
The original purchase entry using the perpetual should be:
Dr Merchandise inventory XX
Cr Accounts payable XX
If the company returns some or all the merchandise purchased, then the journal entry should be:
Dr Accounts payable YY
Cr Merchandise inventory YY
If the company used the periodic inventory system, then the accounts would be different. Perpetual inventory directly debits or credits merchandise inventory account, it doesn't use the purchases account.
The original purchase entry using the periodic system should be:
Dr Purchases XX
Cr Accounts payable XX
If the company returns some or all the merchandise purchased, then the journal entry should be:
Dr Accounts payable YY
Cr Purchases returns and allowances YY
In January 2017, Crane Company, a newly formed company, issued 9500 shares of its $8 par common stock for $13 per share. On July 1, 2017, Crane Company reacquired 950 shares of its outstanding stock for $10 per share. The acquisition of these treasury sharesa. increased total stockholders' equity.b. decreased the number of issued shares.c. decreased total stockholders' equity.d. did not change total stockholders' equity.
Answer:
The correct option is C, decreased total stockholders' equity
Explanation:
By reacquiring 950 shares out of the issued shares of 9,500 shares ,the company takes possession of the 950 shares and give cash to stockholders in return for the shares repossessed.
As a result the total stockholders' equity would reduce, this is usually accounted for by deducting the cost of such repurchase from total stockholders' equity in the equity section of the balance sheet
Deere is a global manufacturer and distributor of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. Suppose it reported the following information in its 2017 annual report. (In millions)
2017 2016 Inventories (LIFO) $2,267 $2,999
Current asset 32,910
Current liabilities 11,711
LIFO reserve 1,389
Cost of goods sold 15,661
Compute Deere inventory turnover for 2017 ratio.
Answer:
5.95
Explanation:
Deere inventory turnover for 2017 ratio is:
Formula for Inventory Turnover Ratio= Cost of Goods sold / Average Inventory
Where Average Inventory = (Previous Inventory + Current Inventory) / 2
= ($2,267 + $2,999) / 2
=$5,266 / 2
=$2,633
Average Inventory = $2,633
Therefore, Inventory Turnover Ratio = $15,661 / $2,633 = 5.9479 = 5.95
Deere Inventory Turnover for 2017 Ratio is 5.95.
Specialization and the gains from trade make the economy PPF outward bowed because _______. A. a good is initially produced by producers with higher opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with lower opportunity costs B. all producers have bowed-out PPFs, and the economy PPF is the horizontal sum of the individual PPFs C. as more of a good is produced, people are willing to pay less for each additional unit of the good D. a good is initially produced by producers with lower opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with higher opportunity costs
Answer:
A. a good is initially produced by producers with higher opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with lower opportunity costs
Explanation:
The production possibility frontier is a curve that shows the two combinations of goods and services produced in an economy.
Because of trade a country can specialise in the production of goods for which it has a lower opportunity cost in its production and import goods for which it has a higher opportunity cost.
This makes the ppf bowed out as the country produces more of the good for which it has a lower opportunity cost and less of the good for which it has a higher opportunity cost.

Laser World reports net income of $620,000. Depreciation expense is $47,000, accounts receivable increases $11,000, and accounts payable decreases $27,000. Calculate net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (List cash outflows and any decrease in cash as negative amounts.)
Answer:
$629,000
Explanation:
The net cash flow from operating activities is the net income plus depreciation, minus the increase in accounts receivable as well as the decrease in accounts payable.
Net income is $620,000
depreciaton expense $47,000
Increase in accounts receivable ($11,000)
decrease in accounts payable ($27,000)
Net cash flow from operations $629,000
The increase in accounts receivable denies the business of additional cash,hence it is deducted ,the same applies to increase in accounts payable

The Colson Company issued $407,000 of 9% bonds on January 1, 2014. The bonds are due January 1, 2020, with interest payable each July 1 and January 1. The bonds are issued at face value.
Prepare Colson’s journal entries for (a) the January issuance, (b) the July 1 interest payment, and (c) the December 31 adjusting entry.
Answer:
Dr cash $407,000
Cr bonds payable $407,000
July 1
Dr interest expense $ 18,315.00
Cr cash $ 18,315.00
December 31
Dr interest expense $ 18,315.00
Cr interest payable $ 18,315.00
Explanation:
The bond was issued at face value of $407,000 which means that cash of $407,000 was received which is to be debited to cash account and bonds payable account credited for the same amount.
On July1 ,interest coupon of $ 18,315.00 ($407,000*8%*6/12) was paid which means that interest expense is debited with $ 18,315.00 while cash is credited.
On 31 December ,interest coupon of $ 18,315.00 ($407,000*8%*6/12) was due which means that interest expense is debited with $ 18,315.00 while interest payable is credited.

A couple borrows $200,000 for a mortgage that requires fixed monthly payments over 30 consecutive years. The first monthly payment is due in one month. If the interest rate on the mortgage is 5%, which of the following comes closest to the monthly payment?
When would the calculation of the effective annual interest rate be most useful?
a. When comparing two investments with different annuity amounts
b. When comparing two investments with different par values
c. When comparing two investments that end at different points in time
d. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year
e. When comparing two investments that have different inherent risk
Answer:
(a) The monthly payment is $ 1,073.64
(b) The correct option is option D. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year.
Explanation:
Monthly payment = $1,073.64
Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:
$
I/Y = Rate = 5/12 = 0.416667
FV = Future value = $0
N = Total payment term 25*12 = 360
PV = Present value of loan -$200,000
CPT > PMT = Monthly Payment $1,073.64
1. The monthly payment by the couple is $1,073.64.
2. The calculation of the effective annual interest rate would be most useful d. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year.
Data and Calculations:
The monthly payment is determined as follows:
(# of periods) = 360 months (30 x 12)
I/Y (Interest per year) = 5%
PV (Present Value) = $200,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:
Monthly Payment = $1,073.64
Sum of all periodic payments = $386,511.57
Total Interest = $186,511.57
Thus, the couple would pay $1,073.64 monthly for 30 years in order to pay off the mortgage of $200,000 at 5% interest.

Dexter Consulting, Inc. recently reported the following information: Net income = $395,000 Sales = $700,000 Total Assets = $1.5 million Tax rate = 21% Interest expense = 13,000 Accounts Payable = 74,000 Notes Payable = 900,000 Accruals = 12,000 After-tax cost of capital = 10% What is the company’s EVA?
Answer:
$170,650
Explanation:
economic value added (EVA) = NOPAT – (WACC x capital invested)
NOPAT = net operating profits after taxWACC = weighted average cost of capitalcapital invested = assets - current liabilitiesNOPAT = net income x (1 - 21%) = $395,000 x 0.79 = $312,050
WACC = 10%
capital invested = $1,500,000 - $74,000 (accounts payable) - $12,000 (accruals) = $1,414,000
EVA = $312,050 - (10% x $1,414,000) = $312,050 - $141,400 = $170,650
Federal Semiconductors issued 11% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $830 million on January 1, 2021. The bonds sold for $767,557,868 and mature on December 31, 2040 (20 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Federal determines interest at the effective rate. Federal elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $750 million as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. Assume the fair value of the bonds on December 31, 2022 had risen to $756 million.Required: Complete the below table to record the following journal entries. 1. & 2. Prepare the journal entry to adjust the bonds to their fair value for presentation in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet, and adjust the bonds to their fair value for presentation in the December 31, 2019, balance sheet. Federal determined that one-half of the increase in fair value was due to a decline in general interest rates.

--to adjust Bonds at 12/31/2021 market value --
other comprehensive income 4.739.000 debit
discount on bonds payable 4.739.000 credit
--to adjust Bonds at 12/31/2022 market value --
Explanation:
We solve for the book value at year-end using effective rate
First year:
First payment
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
767,557,868 x 6.0% = 46,053,472.08
Amortization 403,472.08
Second Payment
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
(767,557,868 + 403,472.08) x 6.0% = 46,077,680.4
Amortization 427680.4
Carrying value at year-end
767,557,868 + 403,472.08 + 427,680.40 = 768,389,020.48
We need to recognize a deferred gain for the difference between these and the 750,000,000 market value at December 31th
which is $ 18,383,020.48 as these as not been realized it will be part of other comprehensive income
We will increase the discount to adjust the bonds payable account net balance.
Second year:
We repeat the process
First Payment:
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
Interest expense 750,000,000 x 6% = 45,000,000
Amortization 650000
Carrying value 750,000,000 + 650,000 = 750,650,000
Second Payment:
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
750,650,000 x 6% = 45,039,000
Amortization 611000
Carrying Value 750,650,000 + 611,000 = 751,261,000
Wer now compare this with the 756,000,000
as now the debt of the company has increased we are going to decrease the discounttand recognize a deferred loss through other comprehensive income as it wasn't realized
756,000,000 - 751,261,000 = 4.739.000

This results in a weighted average cost of capital equal to 9.4% and a new value of operations of $510,638. Assume PP raises $178,723 in new debt and purchases T-bills to hold until it makes the stock repurchase. PP then sells the T-bills and uses the proceeds to repurchase stock. How many shares remain after the repurchase, and what is the stock price per share immediately after the repurchase?
Answer:
Price per share after repurchase = $51.064
Shares remaining after repurchase = 6500
Explanation:
Given the following :
Value of operations = $510,638
Value of T-bills = value of debt = $178,723
Therefore, value of equity = $510,638
Number of common shares = 10,000
Price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares
Price per share = $510,638 / 10,000 = $51.064
Price per share prior to repurchase is the same as price per share after repurchase.
However, number of shares repurchased equals;
$178,723 / $51.064 = 3499.99 = 3500 shares
Number of shares left after repurchase :
Totals shares - shares repurchased
10,000 - 3500 = 6,500
Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until maturity, a face value of $ 1 comma 000, and a coupon rate of 7.0 % (annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 6.0 %. What was the price of this bond when it was issued?
Answer:
$1,073.60
Explanation:
bond's current price = PV of face value + PV of coupons
maturity = 10 years
face value = $1,000
coupon rate = 7% annual
market rate = 6%
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ =$558.39
PV of coupons = coupon x annuity factor (10 years, 6%) = $70 x 7.3601 = $515.21
market value at issue date = $558.39 + $515.21 = $1,073.60
since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, the bond was sold at a premium.
Suppose that Congress passes a law requiring employers to provide employees some benefit (such as healthcare) that raises the cost of an employee by $4 per hour. Assume that firms were not providing such benefits prior to the legislation. On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the demand for labor.On the previous graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the supply of labor. Suppose the wage is free to balance supply and demand. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium wage and level of employment before this law, and use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the equilibrium wage and level of employment after this law is implemented.
True or False: Employers and employees are made worse off by this law.
True False Suppose that, before the mandate, the wage in this market was $3 above the minimum wage. In this case, the employer mandate will decrease the equilibrium wage rate from $10 per hour to $6 per hour, causing employment to increase V and unemployment to decrease 'V' . Now suppose that workers do not value the mandated benefit at all. Which of the following statements are true under this circumstance?
1. The wage rate will decline by less than $4.
2. Employers are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
3. The equilibrium quantity of labor will decline.
4. The supply curve of labor doesn't shift at all.
5. Employees are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
Answer:
a. False
b. 1. The wage rate will decline by less than $4.
2.Employers are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
3. The equilibrium quantity of labor will decline.
4. The supply curve of labor doesn't shift at all
5. Employees are worse off than before the mandated benefit.
Explanation:
The Equilibrium wage and employment level are at the point where demand and supply curves intersect. The new law will cause the demand and supply curve to shift down. Employers and employees are not made worse off rather they are well off as before.
When the workers will not value the benefit as mandated in the law the supply curve will not shift down, the equilibrium quantity of labor will decline and wage rate will decline by less than $4. Employers are worse off than before because a greater total wage will be paid by employers plus benefit for few workers. This will result in greater total cost to employer.
On December 31, 2018, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $107 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2048. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2019. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2018, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
$93,725,580.00
Explanation:
The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.
Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00
Face amount=$107,000,000
The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is 12.4090
The discount factor for the face value is 0.1314
Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00

In contrast to a differentiator, a cost-leader will:
a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
b. charge a premium price for its products and services.
c. avoid an organizational structure that relies on strict budget controls.
d. build an organizational culture where creativity and customer responsiveness thrive.
Answer: a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
Explanation:
A Cost Leadership strategy entails reducing the costs associated with production to the point that you are the most efficient producer in the industry. By reducing cost, the company is able to see higher profitability margins and could be able to lower sales prices thereby capturing greater market share.
The Cost Leader will therefore focus on coming up with ways with which it can keep costs at a minimum because it is important to their mode of operations.
A Differentiator on the other hand aims to increase market share by creating a product that people will see as different and will buy due to the added value. They will focus more on supporting creativity to make better products as well as customer responsiveness to see what it is that the customers like so that they can offer it.

Barbara owns a manufacturing plant with four facilities (North, South, East, and West) in the state of Indiana. The workers at one of those facilities, North, have just decided to join a union. The union negotiates with Barbara and receives average wages that are 5% higher than the workers at the South, East, and West facilities. This wage differential is a likely example of:
Answer:
Union power
Explanation:
The difference in wages is as a result of Union power because the North now belongs to a labor union that protects their interest. A labor union is an organization that plays the role of an intermediary between their members and their employers. The workers in the North through the union are able to negotiate for better wages. Through collective bargaining, the union gives workers In the North the power to request for better work pay than workers in the east, West and South facilities.
On July 1, Perry Company signed a note with principal of $80,000 and a stated interest rate of 4%. The principal and interest are due on April 1 of the following year. Perry will accrue interest on December 31st.
$80,000 * 4% * 6/12 = $1,600 Interest is always stated as an annual rate regardless of loan term. The 4% interest is annual and must be multiplied by 6/12 to account for the six months july-december when recording the accrued interest on 12/31.
Required:
What is an example of accrued receivable?
Answer:
$1,600
An example of accrued receivable is recording interest revenue before it is been received.
Explanation:
Principal =$80,000
Interest rate =4%.
July to December =6 months
Hence:
$80,000 * 4% * 6/12
=$80,000×0.04×0.5
= $1,600
Perry accrued interest on December 31st is $1,600
An example of accrued receivable is recording interest revenue before it is been received.
Suppose Binder corporatio's common stock has a return of 17.61 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.68 percent, the market return is 12.4 percent and there is no unsystematic risk affecting Binder's return. Given the one-factor arbitrage pricing model, what is the factor beta
Answer:
1.597
Explanation:
The computation of the factor beta using the one-factor arbitrage pricing model is shown below:
As we know that
= (Expected rate of return - risk-free rate of return) ÷ (market rate of return-risk-free rate of return)
= (17.61% - 3.68%) ÷ (12.4% - 3.68%)
= 1.597
We simply applied the above formula to determine the factor beta and the same is to be considered
The cost of doing business is most likely to be the lowest in:_______.
a. closed totalitarian states.
b. primitive or undeveloped economies.
c. open democratic societies.
d. countries where local laws and regulations set strict standards with regard to product safety, safety in the workplace, and environmental pollution.
e. countries that lack well-established laws for regulating business practice.
Answer:
C. Open democratic societies.
Explanation:
Generally, the cost of doing business is most likely to be the lowest in an open democratic societies.
An open democratic society is one that is characterized by a degree of freedom for the populace and as such, it gives the people the privilege of fairly competing for all resources.
In an open democratic society, there's ease of doing business because the government would ensure there's an enabling environment by virtue of laws, regulations, policies, SME loans, taxation etc. The open society being opposed to autocracy, ensures that the government is typically responsive and tolerant to every individual living in the country. This simply means that, fundamental human rights and all the necessary infrastructures or amenities such as power, water, transportation systems are readily available and accessible to all.
Consequently, the cost of doing business becomes low and more individuals would be willing to startup their business; investors are confident of investing in the economy because they believe in the system put in place in an open democratic society.
Granite Construction Company is considering selling excess machinery with a book value of $328,100 (original cost of $449,200 less accumulated depreciation of $121,100) for $222,800, less a 6% brokerage commission. Alternatively, the machinery can be leased for a total of $217,860 for five years, after which it is expected to have no residual value. During the period of the lease, Granite Construction Company’s costs of repairs, insurance, and property tax expenses are expected to be $16,708.
