Ivanhoe Corporation acquired End-of-the-World Products on January 1, 2017 for $6500000, and recorded goodwill of $1220000 as a result of that purchase. At December 31, 2018, the End-of-the-World Products Division had a fair value of $5540000. The net identifiable assets of the Division (excluding goodwill) had a fair value of $4838000 at that time. What amount of loss on impairment of goodwill should Ivanhoe record in 2018
Answer:
Ivanhoe Corporation
The amount of loss on impairment of goodwill that Ivanhoe should record in 2018 is:
$518,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Goodwill on acquisition = $1,220,000
December 31, 2018:
Fair value of Investee (End-of-the-World Products Division) = $5,540,000
The fair value of the net identifiable assets of the Division (excluding goodwill) = $4,838,000
Goodwill = $702,000 ($5,540,000 - $4,838,000)
Impairment loss = $518,000 ($1,220,000 - $702,000)
b) A Goodwill impairment loss is the recognized reduction in the carrying amount of this intangible asset that is triggered by a decline in its fair value. When the fair value of acquired Goodwill declines below its carrying amount, Ivanhoe Corporation is expected to write off the difference (the impairment loss) in its income statement for 2018.

Explanation:
A company purchased a weaving machine for $273,400. The machine has a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $15,000. It is estimated that the machine could produce 760,000 bolts of woven fabric over its useful life. In the first year, 110,000 bolts were produced. In the second year, production increased to 114,000 units. Using the units-of-production method, what is the amount of depreciation expense that should be recorded for the second year
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $38,760
Explanation:
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(273,400 - 15,000)/760,000]*114,000
Annual depreciation= $38,760
With current technology, suppose a firm is producing 800 loaves of banana bread daily. Also assume that the least-cost combination of resources in producing those loaves is 5 units of labor, 5 units of land, 4 units of capital, and 1 unit of entrepreneurial ability, selling at prices of $40, $60, $60, and $20 per unit, respectively.
a. If the firm can sell these 800 units at $1 per unit, will it continue to produce banana bread?
b. What is the firm's total revenue?
c. What is the firm's total cost?
d. What is the firm's profit or loss?
Answer:
a. Since a profit of $40 is being made as obtained in part d, the firm will continue to produce banana bread.
b. Firm's total revenue is $800.
c. Firm's total cost is $760.
d. Firm's profit is $40.
Explanation:
a. If the firm can sell these 800 units at $1 per unit, will it continue to produce banana bread?
The decision criteria is to continue to produce if profit is being made or stop to produce if loss is being incured.
Since a profit of $40 is being made as obtained in part d, the firm will continue to produce banana bread.
b. What is the firm's total revenue?
Total revenue = Selling price per unit * Sales unit = $1 * 800 = $800
c. What is the firm's total cost?
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost of labor = Unit of labor * Unit labor cost = 5 * $40 = $200
Cost of land = Unit of land * Unit land cost = 5 * $60 = $300
Cost of capital = Unit of capital * Unit capital cost = 4 * $60 = $240
Cost of entrepreneurial ability = Unit of entrepreneurial ability * Unit entrepreneurial ability cost = 1 * $20 = $20
Total cost = Cost of labor + Cost of land + Cost of capital + Cost of entrepreneurial ability = $200 + $300 + $240 + $20 = $760
d. What is the firm's profit or loss?
Profit (loss) = Total revenue - Total cost = $800 - $760 = $40
Consider an individual who currently earns $20,000 as an unskilled laborer. Suppose that by taking courses full-time at a community college for one year, the person can qualify for a more skilled job paying $23,000 that is guaranteed to last for 10 years (after which the person would retire). Assume the cost of tuition and books at the community college for one year is $2,000 and that the current interest rate is 6%. Is this a good investment
Answer:
investing in these college courses will increase this individual's wealth by $20,080, so it is a good idea
Explanation:
First of all, education is always a good investment. But we still need to analyse this situation like any other project:
initial outlay year 0 = $2,000 tuition costs
cash flows years 1 - 10 = $23,000 - $20,000 = $3,000
NPV = - initial outlay + PV of cash flows
PV of cash flows = $3,000 x 7.3601 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $22,080
NPV = -$2,000 + $22,080 = $20,080

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases (units)= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
January (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (140,000*0.3)= 42,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 122,000
Total cost= 122,000*4= $488,000
February (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (42,000)
Total number of units= 158,000
Total cost= 158,000*4= $632,000
March (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 200,000
Total cost= 200,000*4= $800,000
April (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (160,000*0.3)= 48,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 188,000
Total cost= 188,000*4= $752,000
May (units):
Sales= 160,000
Desired ending inventory= (220,000*0.3)= 66,000
Beginning inventory= (48,000)
Total number of units= 178,000
Total cost= 178,000*4= $712,000

A bank's actual reserve ratio is the percentage of total deposits a bank actually holds on to. It is made up of the percentage they are required to hold on to, known as the required reserve ratio, plus any extra they choose to hold on to. Suppose Dave's bank has an actual reserve ratio of 12%, and his bank makes a loan to Darlene based on the funds from Dave's deposit. How much does the money supply increase as a result of this second step
Answer:
The increase in the money supply will be "833333.33".
Explanation:
The real reserve ratio of either a lender seems to be the proportion of overall reserves another bank currently occupies onto another. It consists of the proportion they become required to secure forward with, referred to that as the reserve requirement expected, including whatever extra those who happen to retain onto this.According to the question,
The multiplier will be:
⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{RRR}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{100}{12}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{25}{3}[/tex]
So the increase will be:
⇒ [tex]100000\times \frac{25}{3}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]833333.33[/tex]
A Corporation produces shiny discs. A special order has been placed by the customer to Rick for 2,200 units of the shiny disc for $38 a unit. While the disc would be modified slightly for the special order, the normal unit product cost for each disc is $16.90:
Direct materials $ 4.60
Direct labor 4.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.60
Unit product cost $ 16.90
Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs.
The customer would like modifications made to each disc that would increase the variable costs by $1.90 per unit and that would require an investment of $16,000 in special equipment that would have no salvage value.
This special order would have no effect on Rick Corp.'s other sales. The company has enough spare capacity for producing the special order.
What would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for Rick as a result of accepting this special order?
a) $40,760
b) $15,700
c) $2,000
d) $16,200
Answer:
Rick Corporation
The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for Rick as a result of accepting this special order is:
a) $40,760
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order for 2,200 units of shiny disc at $38 a unit
Normal product cost: Special order:
Direct materials $ 4.60 $ 4.60
Direct labor 4.00 4.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.70 1.70
Additional variable cost 1.90
Total variable costs $10.30 $12.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.60 0
Investment in special equipment ($16,000/2,200) 7.273
Unit product cost $ 16.90 $19.473
Annual Financial Advantage (Disadvantage) for the special order:
Sales Revenue ($38 * 2,200) = $83,600
Variable costs ($12.20 * 2,200) 26,840
Contribution ($25.80 * 2,200) $56,760
Special equipment 16,000
Financial Advantage $40,760
QS 23-11 Selection of sales mix LO P3 Excel Memory Company can sell all units of computer memory X and Y that it can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce two units of X per hour or three units of Y per hour, and it has 4,700 production hours available. Contribution margin is $6 for product X and $5 for product Y. 1. Calculate contribution margin per production hour. 2. What is the most profitable sales mix for this Company
Answer:
Contribution margin per production hour
Product X = $12
Product Y = $15
Explanation:
Part 1
Contribution margin per production hour
Contribution margin per production hour = Contribution ÷ Time to produce one product
Therefore,
Product X = $6 ÷ 0.5
= $12
Product Y = $5 ÷ 0.33
= $15
Part 2
The Demand Units of Product X and Product Y are missing so the calculation of profitable sales mix is impossible.
This mix would have been calculated by :
Manufacturing all the units of Product Y since Y has the highest contribution margin per production hour (demand for Y × hours required per unit)With the remainder of hours out of 4,700 after producing all of Product Y demand, we would then produce Product X.

Income tax is one of the most common types of taxes levied by governments around the world. It is usually calculated as a percentage of a person's taxable income, which is the amount of money that a person earns after certain deductions and exemptions have been taken into account.
On what factors does the specific rates depend upon ?The specific tax rates and income brackets vary depending on the country and the tax system in place. Some countries have a progressive income tax system, where the tax rate increases as income increases. Other countries have a flat tax system, where everyone pays the same tax rate regardless of their income.
In many countries, income tax is used to fund public services and programs, such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social welfare programs. The revenue generated from income tax is typically the largest source of government revenue in many countries.
In addition to federal or national income tax, many countries also have state or provincial income tax systems that levy additional taxes on top of the federal income tax. Some countries also have various tax credits, exemptions, and deductions that can reduce a person's taxable income and lower their overall tax burden.

Zycon has produced 10,000 units of partially finished Product A. These units cost $15,000 to produce, and they can be sold to another manufacturer for $20,000. Instead, Zycon can process the units further and produce finished Products X, Y, and Z. Processing further will cost an additional $22,000 and will yield total revenues of $35,000. Identify whether the item is relevant or irrelevant to the sell or process further decision.
Answer:
Cost relevant or irrelevant for decision making to sell or process further
a. $15,000 already incurred is not relevant because this is sunk cost. This cannot be avoided or changed.
b. $20,000 selling price is relevant for decision making because this incremental revenue is generated if goods are sold semi-finished.
c. $22,000 additional selling price is for decision making because this cost is required for further processing and shall be incurred.
d. $35,000 revenue from processing is relevant for decision making because this incremental revenue is generated if goods are after further processing.
Analysts look for red flags in financial statements that may signal financial trouble. Which of the following is a red flag that suggests that a company may be in trouble? A. a consistent movement in sales, merchandise inventory, and accounts receivable B. operating activities are a major source of cash flows C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row D. a reduction in the debt ratio
Answer:
C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row
Explanation:
A significant decrease in net income for several years in a row show that the firm is generating less revenue or its expenses are generally increasing at a rate greater than the sales. This may soon lead into a loss. A loss making firm will eventually have challenges in cashflow. So, this signals financial trouble.
Diamond and Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 130 baseballs per hour to sewing 234 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.48 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $26 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $305,500, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $131,800, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,200 hours per year.

If Diamond and Turf has sufficient funds for only one of the machines and qualitative factors are equal between the two machines, in which machine should it invest?
Answer:
A) Sewing machine:
initial outlay = -$305,500
net cash flow per year = (234 baseballs per hour - 130 baseballs per hour) x 1,400 hours x $0.48 per baseball = $69,888
NPV = -$305,500 + ($69,888 x 4.968) = -$305,500 + $347,203.58 = $41,703.58
Packing machine:
initial outlay = -$131,800
net cash flow per year = 1,200 hours x $26 per hour = $31,200
NPV = -$131,800 + ($31,200 x 4.968) = -$131,800 + $155,001.60 = $23,201.60
B) PVI of sewing machine = $347,203.58 / $305,500 = 1.137
PVI of packing machine = $155,001.60 / $131,800 = 1.176
C) They should invest in the packing machine since its PVI is higher, meaning that it increases the company's value by a higher amount per dollar invested.
Alma, a sales associate, receives a 20% employee discount. Because she was the top sales associate of the month, Alma was given an additional 10% discount for the month of March. During March, Alma purchased a pair of running shoes for $89.50, a running suit for $129.99, two pairs of socks at $4.00 each and a t-shirt for $21.50. What was the dollar amount of Alma's purchases, including a 7.5% sales tax
Answer:
$187.365
Explanation:
Alma Purchases
Shoes $89.5
Running Suit $129.99
Socks 2 Paris $8
T-Shirts $21.5
Total purchase $248.99
Less: Discount $74.697 [30% * $248.99{
Less: Sales Tax $13.07198 {7.5% * $248.99}
Total Amount $187.365
Thus, the dollar amount of Alma's purchases, including a 7.5% sales tax is $187.365.
The dollar amount of Alma's purchases is $187.365.
What are purchases?In accounting, Purchases refer to the cost of buying goods or inventory during a period for the purpose of further production or resale. The amount of net purchases is calculated by adjusting the returns and discounts.
The total purchases of Alma will be:
[tex]\rm Total \:purchases = Running\: shoes + Running \:suit + Socks +T-shirt \\\\\rm Total \:purchases= \$89.50 + 129.99 + (\$4.00 \times 2) + \$21.50\\\\\rm Total \:purchases = \$248.99[/tex]
The amount of discount will be 30% of total purchases:
[tex]\rm Discount = Total\:purchases \times Rate\\\\\rm Discount = \$248.99 \times 30\%\\\\\rm Discount = \$74.697[/tex]
The sales tax amount will be:
[tex]\rm Sales \:tax = Total purchases \times Rate\\\\\rm Sales\: tax = 248.99 \times 7.5\%\\\\\rm Sales\: tax =\$18.67425[/tex]
Therefore the net purchase after sales tax will be:
[tex]\rm Net\:purchases = Total\:purchases - Discount - Sales\:tax \\\\\rm Net\:purchases = \$248.99 - \$74.697- \$18.67425\\\\\rm Net\:purchases = \$$187.365[/tex]

Problems and Applications Q4 Suppose that the government imposes a tax on heating oil. True or False: The deadweight loss from this tax would likely be larger in the fifth year after it is imposed than in the first year as demand for heating oil becomes more elastic. True False The tax revenue collected from a tax on heating oil is likely to be in the first year after it is imposed than in the fifth year.
Answer:
TrueTrueExplanation:
The deadweight loss in the fifth year will indeed be higher in the fifth year than in the first because deadweight loss has been shown to increase with elasticity.
As demand becomes more elastic as a result of the oil becoming more expensive, tax revenue will decrease in future which means that tax revenue will be less in five years than in the first.

Some of the oligopoly effects are discussed as follows:
i. Restriction on output:
Implies that oligopoly results in small output and high prices as compared to other market structures, such as perfect competition.
ii. Price exceeds average costs:Implies that under oligopoly, there are restrictions on entry of new organizations. Thus, organizations charge prices more than the average costs. Therefore, consumers have to pay more in case of oligopoly market.
iii. Lower Efficiency:
Leads to non-optimum levels of output. This is because the output produced under oligopoly depends on the market share held by the organization. Thus, the oligopoly organizations fail to build the optimum scales of economies and achieve optimum output.
iv. Selling Costs:
Refer to high promotional costs. The oligopolists engage in high promotion tasks to take the share of its rivals. Thus, the resources are wasted in form of high selling costs which do not add to the satisfaction of customers.
Apart from aforementioned points, oligopoly shows the poor performance from various other angles. From the point of economic welfare, it fails to satisfy customers since the price charged is very high, even more than average costs. In addition, sometimes oligopolists may face wasteful fluctuations in output as the output is not determined optimally.

Westsyde Tool Company is expected to pay a dividend of $2 in the upcoming year. The risk-free rate of return is 6%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. Analysts expect the price of Westsyde Tool Company shares to be $29 a year from now. The beta of Westsyde Tool Company's stock is 1.2. Using a one-period valuation model, the intrinsic value of Westsyde Tool Company stock today is ________.
