Iverson Company purchased a delivery truck for $45,000 on January 1, 2018. The truck was assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years and has a residual value of $10,000. Compute depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2018 and 2019.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $45,000

Useful life= 5 years

Salvage value= $10,000

To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2018:

Annual depreciation= 2[(45,000 - 10,000) / 5]

Annual depreciation= 14,000

2019:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(35,000 - 14,000)/5]

Annual depreciation= $8,400

The depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method in 2018 is $18,000 and in 2019 is $10,800.

The double-declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation method when compared with other deprecation methods.

Depreciation expense = (2 x cost of the asset) / useful life of the asset

Deprecation expense in 2018

(2 x $45,000) / 5 = $18,000

Deprecation expense in 2019

Book value in 2019 = cost of the asset - deprecation expense

$45,000 - $18,000 = $27,000

Deprecation expense = (2 x $27,000) / 5 = $10,800

A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year

Answers

Answer:

$61.60

Explanation:

Equity funding need =  Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings

Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 -  $1,980 - $136.40

Equity funding need = $61.60

Workings

Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739

Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561

Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980

Projected increase in retained earnings  = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

You are considering how to invest part of your retirement savings.You have decided to put $400,000 into three​ stocks: 61% of the money in GoldFinger​ (currently $28​/share), 24% of the money in Moosehead​ (currently $73​/share), and the remainder in Venture Associates​ (currently $9​/share). Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $43​/share, Moosehead stock drops to $67​/share, and Venture Associates stock drops to $6 per share. a. What is the new value of the​ portfolio? b. What return did the portfolio​ earn? c. If you​ don't buy or sell any shares after the price​ change, what are your new portfolio​ weights?

Answers

Answer:

a. Number of shares of GoldFinger = 61%*400000/24

Number of shares of GoldFinger =  10166.6667

Number of shares of Moosehead = 24%*400,000/73

Number of shares of Moosehead = 1315.0685

Number of shares of Venture Associates = (1 - 61% - 24%) * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 15% * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 6666.6667

New value of the portfolio = 10166.6667*$43 + 1315.0685*$67 + 6666.6667*$6

New value of the portfolio = $437,166.6681 + $88,109.5895 + $40000.0002

New value of the portfolio = $565,276.2578

b. The return that the portfolio​ earn is = ($565,276.2578 - $400,000) / $400,000 = $165,276.2578 / $400,000 = 0.4131906445 = 41.32%

c. Weight of Goldfinger is now = (10166.6667*$43) / $565,276.2578

= $437166.6681 / $565,276.2578

= 0.7734

= 77.34%

Weight of Moosehead is now = (1315.0685*$67) / $565,276.2578

= $88109.5895 / $565,276.2578

= 0.15587

= 15.59%

Weight of Venture is now = 100% - 77.34 - 15.59%

= 7.07%

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

According to International Accounting Standard IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of the asset acquired must include all the cost necessary to make it ready for its intended use.

This means that the expenditure that is the legal cost or must be very important for making it ready for use must form part of the asset.

The double entry of such transaction is as under:

Dr Non Current Asset XX

Cr Cash or Cash Equivalent Paid or Payables XX

From the above criteria, we can say that following accounts must be debited:

1. Paid $7,000 of accrued taxes at the time the plant site was acquired.

Dr Land-Plant Site $7,000

Cr Accrued Taxes       $7,000

2. Paid $200 insurance to cover a possible accident loss on new factory machinery while the machinery was in transit.

a. $250,800.b. $229,200.c. $236,400.d. $226,200.

Answers

Answer:

b. $229,200

Explanation:

Computation for the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet

First step is to find the credit sales

Credit sales=.75(400,000)

Credit sales=300,000

Second step is to find the 3% of 300,000

3% of 300,000=9,000

Third step is to add credit sales amount to Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

9,000 +1,800

=$10,800

Last step is to find the net realizable value

Net realizable value=Accounts Receivable $240,000-$10,800

Net realizable value=$229,200

Therefore the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet is $229,200

a. Return on assets =  Net Income/Total Assets

= $ 97,800/$1,100,000     $ 79,200/$830,000

= 8.89%                               = 9.54%

b. Return on stockholders' equity = Net Income/Stockholders' equity

=  $ 97,800/$400,000     $ 79,200/$330,000

= 24.45%                               = 24%

c. Earnings per share = Net Income/Outstanding common shares

= $ 97,800/100,000     $ 79,200/100,000

= $0.98                               = $0.79

d. Price-earnings ratio = Market price/Earnings per share

= $2.98/$0.98                    = $2.98/$0.79

= 3.04 times                       = 3.77 times

e. Dividend yield =  Dividend per share/price per share

= $0.28/$2.98                    = $0.19/$2.98

= 9.40%                                      = 6.38%

f. Dividend payout ratio = Total dividends/Net Income

= $27,800/$97,800             = $19,200/$79,200

= 28.43%                              = 24.24%

Smith and Jones start a business to build custom bicycles. Smith invests personal funds of $100,000 and Jones invests $70,000. Grandma Smith loans the company $24,000 with the provision it is to be paid back in 12 equal monthly payments plus 1.5% monthly interest on her original contribution. Smith and Jones agreed that ownership would be proportional to their equity investments. In addition, they borrow $40,000 from the bank at interest of 1.5% per month payable monthly. (They do not have to pay back the principal for five years, so ignore it.) They buy $120,000 worth of parts. They use $80,000 of those parts in the first month. They pay factory workers a total of $15,000 for the first month. They pay rent of $4,000 for the month for a factory. They each (not Grandma) draw salaries of $4,000 per month. They sell the resulting bicycles for $150,000. a. Prepare a balance sheet for day zero, that is, store is ready, people hired, parts on hand, money collected from bank, Grandma, Smith, and Jones. b. Prepare an income statement for the first month. c. Prepare a balance sheet for the last day of the first month. d. What is the percent ownership by Smith, Jones, and Grandma on the first day of the month.

Asset side

Parts $120,000

Cash $114,000

Total assets $234,000

Liabilities and Equity side

Capital $170,000

Short term loan $24,000

Long term loan $40,000

Total liabilities $234,000

Question b

The income statement for the first month will have the following balances.

Revenue (credit) side

Sales $150,000

Expenses (debit) side

Parts used $80,000

wages to factory workers $15,000

rent $4,000

salary $8,000

Interest on grandma's loan $360

Profit for the month $42,040.

Question c

The balance sheet for the last day of the month will have the following balances.

Asset side

Parts $40,000

Cash $234,040

Total assets $274,040

Liabilities and Equity side

Capital $170,000

Profit (added to reserves) $42,040

Short term loan $22,000

Long term loan $40,000

Total liabilities $274,040

Question d

Grandma is not an equity owner since she will be repaid after 1 year.

Therefore, percentage ownership by Smith, Jones and Grandma will be as follows in the ratio of their equity contribution.

Total capital contributed = 100,000 + 70,000 = 170,000

Smith percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{100,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 58.8%

Jones percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{70,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 41.2%

Grandma's ownership = 0% (no equity contribution).

Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $16 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 4% growth in sales each month, the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:_______

Answers

Answer:

= $173,056

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March is shown below:-

February = 10,000 + (4% × 10,000)

= 10,400

March = 10,400 + (4% × 10,400)

= 10816

and finally

The Budget sale for stapler for the month of March = 10,816 × 16

= $173,056

Compute the weight in equity and the weight in debt after the proposed financing and repurchase of equity. Group of answer choices 0.31, 0.69 0.34, 0.66 0.48, 0.52 0.69, 0.31

Answers

Answer:

Epiphany

Weight in equity = 0.31

Weight in debt = 0.69

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated market value of equity = $400,000

Debts = $275,000

Net equity after debt = $125,000

Weight in equity = $125,000/$400,000 = 0.31

Weight in debt = $275,000/$400,000 = 0.69

b) The weight in equity shows the relationship between the equity and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

c) The weight in debt shows the relationship between the debt capital and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

Answers

Answer:

$$7,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts

Using this formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance =

Debts - Write offs + Bad Debt Expense

Let plug in the formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + (2.5%*$800,000)

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + $20,000

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance = $$7,000

Therefore the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be $7,000

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.

Rocky Mountain Bottling Company produces a soft drink that is sold for a dollar. At production and sales of 1,000,000 units, the company pays $700,000 in production costs, half of which are fixed costs. At that volume, general, selling, and administrative costs amount to $320,000, of which $70,000 are fixed costs. What is the amount of contribution margin per unit

Answers

Answer:

contribution margin per unit = $0.40

Explanation:

total variable production costs = $350,000

total fixed production costs = $350,000

total variable S&A expenses = $250,000

total fixed S&A expenses = $70,000

total costs = $1,020,000

total fixed costs = $420,000

total variable costs = $600,000

sales price = $1

variable cost per unit = $600,000 / 1,000,000 = $0.60

contribution margin per unit = $1 - $0.60 = $0.40

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.
