Answer:
all changes
Explanation:
Financial accounting is an accounting technique used for analyzing, summarizing and reporting of financial transactions like sales costs, purchase costs, payables and receivables of an organization using standard financial guidelines such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
An auditor refers to an authorized individual who review, examine and verify the authenticity and accuracy of business financial records or transactions.
The purpose of an analysis of an account is to illustrate all changes in the account for the period under audit. Thus, an audit of historical financial statements most commonly includes the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and the statement of changes in stockholders' equity.
There are two (2) main types of financial analysis;
I. Vertical analysis.
II. Horizontal analysis.
In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.
Materials Variances Krumple Inc. produces aluminum cans. Production of 12-ounce cans has a standard unit quantity of 4.5 ounces of aluminum per can. During the month of April, 300,000 cans were produced using 1,240,000 ounces of aluminum. The actual cost of aluminum was $0.18 per ounce and the standard price was $0.08 per ounce. There are no beginning or ending inventories of aluminum. Required: Calculate the materials price and usage variances using the columnar and formula approaches. Enter amounts as positive numbers and select Favorable or Unfavorable. Materials Price Variance$fill in the blank 1 Material Usage Variance$fill in the blank 3
Solution :
Variance Calculations Result
Direct material 0.08(300,000 x 4.5 - 1,240,000) 8,800 favorable
usage variance
Direct material 1,240,000 x (0.08 - 0.18) 124,000 unfavorable
price variance
The standard quantity = actual production x standard quantity per unit
= 300,000 x 4.5
= 1,350,000

And, the same should be considered and relevant
Of all the promotional tools we looked at, which one is the most effective in getting your attention and interesting you in a product? Conversely, which of the tools is something that has a slim to zero chance of reaching you, much less interesting you?
Answer:
There are basically four tools of promotion namely, Advertisement, public relations, sales promotions, and direct marketing.
Of these, direct marketing will be most effective in capturing my attention while public relations will be less effective to me.
Explanation:
Direct marketing involves establishing direct communication with the potential buyer. It allows for a personal relationship with the buyer. Media such as telemarketing, direct mails, and face-to-face marketing are used to sell the goods. I will be easily convinced because I can easily relate with the person selling the goods and ask questions about the product.
Public relations refers to ways the company formally promotes its image to maintain its customer base. Press release is a measure employed by these companies. I will not be captivated by this because of the formality involved. I believe that through these measures, the company only lets out information they will like you t know.

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has 3 years to maturity, whereas Bond Dave has 18 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 5 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam
Answer: -12.1%
Explanation:
Bond Sam was priced at Par which means it could have been priced at $1,000 and its yield was the same as the coupon rate of 8%.
If interest rates rise by 5%, the yield becomes:
= 8% + 5%
= 13%
Price of bond is attached:
Yield = 13% /2 = 6.5% per semiannual period
Coupon = 8% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $40 per semi annual period
Period till maturity = 3 * 2 = 6 semiannual periods
Price = $878.97
Percentage change in price:
= (878.97 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -12.1%
asino Inc. expects to pay a dividend of $3 per share at the end of year 1 (Div1) and these dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6 percent per year forever. If the required rate of return on the stock is 18 percent, what is the current value of the stock today?
Answer:
the current stock of the value today is $25
Explanation:
The computation of the current stock of the value today is shown below:
Next year dividend D1 = $3
growth rate g =6% forever
rate of return = 18%
So,
Current Stock Price P = D1 ÷ (r - g)
=3 ÷ (18% - 6%)
= 3 ÷ 12%
= 3 ÷ 0.12
= $25
Hence, the current stock of the value today is $25

Various shareholders' equity topics; comprehensive
Part A
In late 2010, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock carrying a $1 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of $5 par value, noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2, 2011, 3,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange for cash at an average price of $10 per share. Also on January 2, all 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $20 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2011. (Assume net income for the first quarter 2011 was $1,000,000.)
Part B
During 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation participated in three treasury stock transactions:
a. On June 30, 2011, the corporation reacquires 200,000 shares for the treasury at a price of $12 per share.
b. On July 31, 2011, 50,000 treasury shares are reissued at $15 per share.
c. On September 30, 2011, 50,000 treasury shares are reissued at $10 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the Nicklaus Corporation shareholders' equity section as it would appear in a balance sheet prepared at September 30, 2011. (Assume net income for the second and third quarter was $3,000,000.)
Part C
On October 1, 2011, Nicklaus Corporation receives permission to replace its $1 par value common stock (5,000,000 shares authorized, 3,000,000 shares issued, and 2,900,000 shares outstanding) with a new common stock issue having a $.50 par value. Since the new par value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1 stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of the $.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the issuing corporation.
On November 1, 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $.05 per share cash dividend on common stock and a $.25 per share cash dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1, 2011, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2011.
On December 2, 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock dividend payable on December 28, 2011, to shareholders of record on December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was selling in the open market at $10 per share. The dividend will result in 58,000 (.01 × 5,800,000) additional shares being issued to shareholders.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2011, shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation. (Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,500,000.)
3. Prepare a statement of shareholders' equity for Nicklaus Corporation for 2011.
Answer:
good question. Wait for the answer
Explanation:
A company has already incurred $7,200 of costs in producing 6,000 units of Product XY. Product XY can be sold as is for $31 per unit. Instead, the company could incur further processing costs of $10 per unit and sell the resulting product for $35 per unit. Should the company sell Product XY as is or process it further
Answer: Sell as is or lose $36,000
Explanation:
If the company sells as is, they could sell at a price of $31 per unit.
If they process further and sell at $35, they would incur a cost of $10 per unit which leaves them with profit of:
= 35 - 10
= $25
This is lower than the selling price if they sell as is and will therefore give a loss of:
= (31 - 25) * 6,000 units
=- $36,000
Company should sell as is so as not to lose $36,000
Critics argue that the WTO single-mindedly promotes trade at the expense of the environment. Therefore trade--or more broadly, globalization--needs to slow down, What is you view on the relationship between trade and the environment
Answer:
WTO sands up for sustainable development, that is conserving resources and avoiding wastes.
Explanation:
Due to the rise in demand for food and supplies, there has been increasing in the large amount of trade of goods and services. Hence the impact of the trade is visible on the environment. The world trade organization is thus trying to remind us about the impacts of globalization and thus need to slow down in terms of the use of natural resources.You are considering an investment project with an internal rate of return of 8.7 percent, a net present value of $393, and a payback period of 2.44 years. Which one of the following is correct given this information?
A. The discount rate used to compute the net present value is equal to the Internal rate of return.
B. The discounted payback period will be less than 2.44 years.
C. The required payback period must be greater than 2.44 years.
D. The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent.
E. This project should be rejected based on the net present value.
Answer:
Hence the correct option is d) The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent.
Explanation:
As the discount rate increases, the present value decreases, and also at IRR the present value is zero, thus the answer is:-
d) The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent
Answer:
D). The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 8.7 percent.
Explanation:
'Net Present Value' is described as the 'difference that exists between existing values of cash inflows, as well as, cash outflows for a particular time period.' This assists in evaluating the profitability of an investment and make worthy decisions regarding investment.
As per the details provided, the discount rate considered for estimating the Net Present Value of the investment had been lesser than 8.7% which shows that the Net Present Value in positive i.e. $ 393. However, the investment project is not beneficial at all rather it may cause losses because the required return rate is 9.5% which is actually lesser and therefore, the project would prove incompetent and it must be rejected at once. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
You plan to save $6,500 per year for the next 8 years. After the last deposit, you will keep the money in the account for 6 more years. The account will earn an interest rate of 6.8 percent. How much will there be in the account 14 years from today
Answer:
$98,254.57
Explanation:
Value after 8 years
Future Value of Annuity = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1 ) / r
Future Value of Annuity = 6500 * ((1 + 6.8%)^8 - 1) / (6.8%)
Future Value of Annuity = 6500 * [(1.69266113113-1) / 0.068]
Future Value of Annuity = 6500 * 10.18619
Future Value of Annuity = $66,210.24
Value after 14 years
FV = PV * (1 + r )^n
FV = 66210.26*(1+ 6.8%)^6
FV = 66210.26 * 1.483978
FV = $98,254.57
So, the amount that will be there in the account 14 years from today is $98,254.57.
If a firm has a cash cycle of 30 days and an operating cycle of 64 days, what is its average payment period
Answer: 34 days
Explanation:
The average payment period is a measure that is used to show the time the firm takes on average to pay its creditors.
The formula is:
Cash cycle = Operating cycle - Average payment period
30 = 64 - APP
APP + 30 = 64
APP = 64 - 30
APP = 34 days
If the State of California raised the average state consumer sales tax rate from 9.25 percent to 15 percent, then this sales tax will have its heavist impact on and raise the marginal cost curves for California businesses.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Consumer sales tax is not charged to businesses but rather to the customers through a business. The tax would therefore increase the prices of goods and services for consumers and not the businesses.
The businesses would therefore not see their marginal cost curves increase. They could still be affected however, by Californians demanding less goods and services because it is now more expensive for them on account of the new sales tax.
Martin Corporation’s (a C corporation) bookkeeper told the owner that she could not have all the tax information ready for the accountant immediately after the tax year end of June 30. She was having surgery and asked if the tax return could be postponed. The accountant’s answer should be:
Answer:
Yes, we can request an extension until the following April 15
Explanation:
In general, there is a room for automatic extension of 6 months for
a corporation to file its income tax return so far appropriate form (7004) has been filed by the corporation, and
estimated unpaid tax liability is been paid before date of the return is due. It should be noted that until tax year 2026, Until June 30 fiscal-year which is tax year 2026 there is duration of 7 months given to the corporation. Though there could be rovoking of the extension by The IRS at any time. tax return of Martin will be due under normall condition by September 15, but since extension comes in it will be due April 15.
The production possibilities model illustrates an inverse relationship between two goods or services because Group of answer choices of diminishing returns. some goods are more difficult to produce that others. the opportunity cost of producing more of something will rise. production of different types will compete for limited resources.
Answer:
production of different types will compete for limited resources.
Explanation:
The production possibilities curve (PPC) is also known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF) and its a curve which illustrates the maximum (best) combinations of two products that can be produce in an economy if they both depend on these factors;
1. Technology is fixed.
2. Resources are fixed.
Hence, the production possibilities curve represents maximum combinations of products available with fixed resources and technology.
Additionally, the production possibilities curve influences the choice of production used by companies and as such it helps to make the best decision regarding the optimum product mix for a company.
Basically, the production possibilities model illustrates an inverse relationship between two goods or services (an increase in the production of one good or service results in a decrease in the production of another and vice-versa) because production of different types will compete for limited resources.
This ultimately implies that the manufacturing or production of one item (product) is likely to rise or increase provided the production of the other item (product) falls or decreases.
Corris Co. accumulates the following data concerning a mixed cost, using miles as the activity level. Miles Driven Total Cost January 10,000 $17,000 February 8,000 13,500 March 9,000 14,400 April 7,000 12,500 Compute the variable and fixed cost elements using the high-low method. (Round variable cost to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Miles Driven Total Cost
January 10,000 $17,000
February 8,000 13,500
March 9,000 14,400
April 7,000 12,500
To calculate the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (17,000 - 12,500) / (10,000 - 7,000)
Variable cost per unit= $1.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 17,000 - (1.5*10,000)
Fixed costs= $2,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 12,500 - (1.5*7,000)
Fixed costs= $2,000
If a firm enjoys economies of scale,
its average total cost will increase as production increases
its total costs will decrease as production increases
its average total cost will decrease as production increases
its marginal revenue will increase as production increases
Answer: Its average total cost will decrease as production increases
Explanation: Variable cost will decrease as a result of economies of scale, therefore the cost/unit or average total cost will decrease.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company has a truck that needs a new engine that would cost $35,000. This will extend the useful life of the truck by 5 years. As an alternative, Your Company could buy a brand new truck for $120,000. The new truck would also last 5 years. The annual operating expenses of the old truck are $8,500. The annual operating expenses of the new truck will only be $5,000. The old truck has a salvage value of $12,000 now and $3,500 in 5 years. The new truck is expected to have a $10,000 salvage value in 5 years. Your Company discount rate is 6%. What is the net present value of the decision to buy the new truck instead of repairing the old truck
Answer:
Hence the net cost to the company is 68,160.
NPV to buy a new truck instead of repairing
NPV = -65390
Explanation:
Step 1:-
P.V. of Old Truck Repaired
Given
Discount rate = 6%
New engine = 35000
Life = 5 years
Annual operating expenses = 8500
Salvage (after 5 years)= 3500
Step 2:-
Repair
Net Cost to company = Cost + Annual operating expenses x P.V. Annuity
Factor (6%, 5) - Salvage value x P.V. Intrinsic
Factor (6%, 5)
P.V.A.F. (6%, 5)= [tex]\sum_{5}^{1}1 / (1.06)^{n} = 4.21[/tex]
n = 4.21
P.V.I.F. (6%, 5) = [tex]1/ (1.06)^{5} =0.75[/tex]
Net Cost to company: = 35000 + 8500 x 4.21 - 3500 x 0.75
= 35000 + 35785 - 2625
= 68,160
P.V. of New truck purchased
New Truck
Cost = 120000
Discount rate = 6%
Life = 5 years
Annual operating expenses = 5000
Salvage (after 5 years)= 10000
Net Cost to company: = Cost + Annual operating expenses x P.V. Annuity
Factor (6%, 5) - Salvage value x P.V. Intrinsic
Factor (6%, 5)
= 120000 + 5000 x 4.21 - 10000 x 0.75
= 120000 + 21050 - 7500
= 133550
NPV to buy a new truck instead of repairing
NPV = Net cost of repairing - Net cost of new truck
= 68160 - 133550
= -65390

To record the payment on maturity of the bonds.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds = $100,000
Price of the bonds = $95,952
Discounts = $4,048
Period of bonds = 4 years
Coupon rate = 7%
Semi-annual amortization of discounts = $506 ($4,048/8)
June 30:
Cash payment = $3,500 ($100,000 * 3.5%)
Amortization of discounts $506
Interest expense = $4,006
December 31:
Cash payment = $3,500 ($100,000 * 3.5%)
Amortization of discounts $506
Interest expense = $4,006

On June 6, 2016, the ¥/$ exchange rate was ¥107.65/$1.00. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) At this exchange rate, what is the no-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR?
Answer:
$27.08
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the no-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR
Using this formula
No-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR=Stock closed per share /Exchange rate
Let plug in the formula
No-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR=¥2,915 / ¥107.65
No-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR=$27.078
No-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR=$27.08 (Approximately)
Therefore the no-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR is $27.08
Suppose you purchase a $1,000 TIPS on January 1, 2021. The bond carries a fixed coupon of 1 percent. Over the first two years, semiannual inflation is 4 percent, 1 percent, 2 percent, and 3 percent, respectively. For each six-month period, calculate the accrued principal and coupon payment.
Answer:
FOR THE FIRST SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,040
Coupon payment = $5.20
FOR THE SECOND SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,050.40
Coupon payment = $5.25
FOR THE THIRD SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,071.41
Coupon payment = $5.36
FOR THE FOURTH SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,103.55
Coupon payment = $5.52
Explanation:
These can be calculated using the following formulae:
Accrued principal = Amount or previous accrued principal * (100% + inflation rate) ...........(1)
Coupon payment = Accrued principal * (Fixed coupon rate * (6 months / 12 months))............(2)
Therefore, we have:
FOR THE FIRST SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,000 * (100% + 4%) = $1,040
Coupon payment = $1,040 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.20
FOR THE SECOND SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,040 * (100% + 1%) = $1,050.40
Coupon payment = $1,050.40 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.25
FOR THE THIRD SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,050.40 * (100% + 2%) = $1,071.41
Coupon payment = $1,071.41 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.36
FOR THE FOURTH SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,071.41 * (100% + 3%) = $1,103.55
Coupon payment = $1,103.55 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.52
Aspen Technologies has the following budget data:
Estimated direct labor hours 8,200 Estimated direct labor dollars $64,200 Estimated factory overhead costs $170,100
If factory overhead is to be applied based on direct labor hours, the predetermined overhead rate is:_______.
a. $24.89
b. $20.74
c. $31.12
d. $16.60
Answer:
Overhead rate = $20.74
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Given the direct labor hours = 8200
Direct labor dollars = $64200
Factory overhead costs =$170100
Use below formula to find the overhead rate.
overhead rate = Overhead cost / Direct labor hours
Now plug the values in formula:
Overhead rate = 170100 / 8200
Overhead rate = $20.74
A fixed asset with a cost of $41,000 and accumulated depreciation of $36,500 is traded for a similar asset priced at $60,000. Assuming a trade-in allowance of $3,000, the recognized loss on the trade is
Answer:
1,500
Explanation:
The fixed assets cost is $41,000
The accumulated depreciationn is $36,500
Similar assets was priced at $36,000
Trade in allowance is $3000
Therefore the recognised law on trade can be calculated as follows
41,000-36,500-3,000
= 1,500
A property title search firm is contemplating using online software to increase the productivity of the researcher performing the search. Currently, an average of 64 minutes is needed to do a title search. The researcher cost is $1.70 per minute. Clients are charged a fee of $410. Company A’s software would reduce the average search time by 20 minutes, at a cost of $3.50 per search. Company B’s software would reduce the average search time by 21 minutes at a cost of $5.50 per search.
a. Calculate the productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input.
b. Which option would have the highest productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input?
a) Company A
b) Company B
c) Current
Answer:
a. Productivity in terms of revenue per dollar input:
Cost = Average time taken * Cost per minute + additional cost per search
Current cost = 64 * 1.70 = $108.80
Company A cost = (64 - 20 mins) * 1.70 + 3.50 = $78.30
Company B cost = (64 - 21) * 1.70 + 5.50 = $78.60
Productivity = Client fee / Cost
Current productivity
= 410 / 108.80
= $3.77
Company A
= 410 / 78.30
= $5.24
Company B
= 410 / 78.60
= $5.22
b. Company A is best.
Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Job V, which was started and completed during the current period, shows charges of $6,300 for direct materials, $8,600 for direct labor, and $5,848 for overhead on its job cost sheet. Job W, which is still in process at year-end, shows charges of $4,300 for direct materials and $5,400 for direct labor.
Required:
Calculate the overhead cost be added to Job W at year-end.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $3,672
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Job V:
DM= $6,300
DL= $8,600
Overhead= $5,848
Job W:
DM= $4,300
DL= $5,400
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on Job V:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
5,848 = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*8,600
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 5,848/8,600
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.68
Now, the allocated overhead to Job W:
Allocated MOH= 0.68*5,400
Allocated MOH= $3,672
