Colorado Rocky Cookie Company offers credit terms to its customers. At the end of 2016, accounts receivable totaled $720,000. The allowance method is used to account for uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $51,000 at the beginning of 2016 and $30,500 in receivables were written off during the year as uncollectible. Also, $3,100 in cash was received in December from a customer whose account previously had been written off. The company estimates bad debts by applying a percentage of 10% to accounts receivable at the end of the year. Required: 1. Prepare journal entries to record the write-off of receivables, the collection of $3,100 for previously written off receivables, and the year-end adjusting entry for bad debt expense. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

5. Firm Q is about to engage in a transaction with the following cash flows over a three-year period: Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Revenue Received $10,000 $12,500 $18,000 Deductible expenses (3,400 (5,000 (7,000 Nondeductible expenses (800 (1,100 -0- If the firm’s marginal tax rate over the three-year period is 35% and its discount rate is 10%, compute the net present value of the transaction.
Answer: $12,830.91
Explanation:
Year 0
Net Cash = Revenue - Expenses - Tax
Tax = (Revenue - Deductible expenses) * tax rate
= ( 10,000 - 3,400) * 0.35
= $2,310
Net Cash = 10,000 - 3,400 - 800 - 2,310
= $3,490
Present Value is the same as this is Year 0.
Year 1
Tax = (Revenue - Deductible expenses) * tax rate
= ( 12,500 - 5,000) * 0.35
= $2,625
Net Cash = 12,500 - 5,000 - 1,100 - 2,625
= $3,775
Present Value is;
= 3,775 / ( 1 + 10%)
= $3,431.82
Year 2
Tax = (Revenue - Deductible expenses) * tax rate
= ( 18,000 - 7,000) * 0.35
= $3,850
Net Cash = 18,000 - 7,000 - 0 - 3,850
= $7,150
Present Value is;
= 7,150 / ( 1 + 10%) ^ 2
= $5,909.09
Net Present Value = PV0 + PV1 + PV2
= 3,490 + 3,431.82 + 5,909.09
= $12,830.91
You are in talks to settle a potential lawsuit. The defendant has offered to make annual payments of $18,000, $26,500, $46,000, and $69,000 to you each year over the next four years, respectively. All payments will be made at the end of the year. If the appropriate interest rate is 4.3 percent, what is the value of the settlement offer today
Answer:
Total PV= $140,465.69
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
Cf1= $18,000
Cf2= $26,500
Cf3= $46,000
Cf4= $69,000
The appropriate interest rate is 4.3 percent.
To calculate the present value, we need to apply the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Cf1= 18,000/1.043= 17,257.91
Cf2= 26,500/1.043^2= 24,360
Cf3= 46,000/1.043^3= 40,541.97
Cf4= 69,000/1.043^4= 58,305.81
Total PV= $140,465.69

Answer:
Return on stockholder equity = 11.2%
Explanation:
Average Stockholder equity
2006 2005
Deferred 9% stock 100,000 100,000
Common stock 600,000 600,000
Paid in capital - 60,000 60,000
Common stock
Deferred earnings 325,000 210,000
Stockholder equity $1,085,000 $970,000
Average stockholder equity = $1,085,000 + $970,000 / 2
Average stockholder equity = $1,027,500
Return on stockholder equity = Net Income / Average stockholder equity
Return on stockholder equity = $115,000 / $1,027,500
Return on stockholder equity = 0.11192
Return on stockholder equity = 11.192%
Return on stockholder equity = 11.2%

At the beginning of the year, Shinedown, Corp., had a long-term debt balance of $45,505. During the year, the company repaid a long-term loan in the amount of $10,880. The company paid $3,845 in interest during the year, and opened a new long-term loan for $9,695. How much is the ending long-term debt account on the company's balance sheet?
Answer:
$44,320
Explanation:
The below will be used to calculate the ending long term debt.
Ending long-term debt = Beginning long-term debt + New long-term debt - Repaid a long-term loan
Ending long-term debt = $45,505 + $9,695 - $10,880
Ending long-term debt = $44,320
Rio Coffee Shoppe sells two coffee drinks—a regular coffee and a latte. The two drinks have the following prices and cost characteristics: Regular Coffee Latte Sales price (per cup) $ 1.50 $ 2.80 Variable costs (per cup) 0.80 1.70 The monthly fixed costs at Rio are $5,148. Based on experience, the manager at Rio knows that the store sells 80 percent regular coffee and 20 percent lattes. Required: How many cups of regular coffee and lattes must Rio sell every month to break even?
Answer:
Breakeven quantity for regular coffee = 5,883
Breakeven quantity for lattes = 936
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
fixed cost for lattes = 0.2 x $5,148. = $1,029.60
fixed cost for regular coffee = 0.8 x $5,148. = $4,118.40
Breakeven quantity for regular coffee = $4,118.40 / $ 1.50 - $0.8 = 5,883.4
Breakeven quantity for lattes = $1,029.60 / $ 2.80 - $ 1.70 = 936
Answer:
Rio Coffee Shoppe
Break-even point in units:
Break-even point for firm = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $5,148/$1.80 = 2,860 units
Regular Coffee = 80% of 2,860 = 2,288 units
Lattes = 20% of 2,280 = 572 units
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Regular Coffee Latte
Sales price (per cup) $ 1.50 $ 2.80
Variable costs (per cup) 0.80 1.70
Contribution $0.70 $1.10
Fixed cost $5,148
Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
Regular Coffee = 80% of $5,148 = $4,118.40
Break-even point = $4,118.4/$0.70 = 5,884 units
Lattes = 20% of $5,148 = $1,029.60
Break-even point = $1,029.60/$1.10 = 936 units
b) The break-even point is the unit of sales required to cover the fixed costs with the contribution so that Rio Coffee Shoppe makes no profit or loss.
An example of a capital budgeting decision is deciding: Group of answer choices how many shares of stock to issue whether or not to purchase a new machine for the production line. how to refinance a debt issue that is maturing. how much inventory to keep on hand. how much money should be kept in the checking account.
Answer:
whether or not to purchase a new machine for the production line
Explanation:
Capital budgeting decision is the process by which a company sets aside money for the purchase of capital assets such as new machinery, new plants, research and development, and new product.
Capital budgeting is considered to be both a financial decision and an investment decision. Apart from cost incurred by making a purchase, the company considers the future cash flows the capital asset will generate.
Purchasing a new machine for the production line is a capital budgeting decision
You are negotiating a new labor contract with union officials. The contract covers a plant that has experienced operating losses over the past several years. You want to negotiate concessions from labor to reduce the losses. However, labor is refusing any compromises. You could tell them that, without concessions, the plant will be closed, although that is not true. Is bluffing ethical? Under what circumstances? What would Kant and Mill say? What would be the result under the Front Page test?
Answer:
Is bluffing ethical? Under what circumstances?
Bluffing is basically lying, and lying is wrong. But on some circumstances, specially when you are carrying out a game strategy (and want to win), then bluffing might not be so bad.
Personally, I believe that bluffing is not unethical when you are negotiating with unions. I have nothing against unions, but their duty is to get the highest possible salary and benefits for their members. On the other hand, the company must balance the interests of its employees, the community and its shareholders. Union delegates always make very high initial demands, the company offers a very low increase or raise, and then after negotiating you get to a middle point. So bluffing could be just a strategy in order to negotiate some concessions, e.g. no pay raise until the company starts making a profit again.
What would Kant and Mill say?
Kant believed that the morality of someone's actions should be judged based on their duty. Since it is your duty to try to get some labor concessions, then bluffing is not unethical.
Mill believed that the morality of someone's actions should be judged based on the results, or how much good or happiness results from them. In this case, I suppose that more people would be unhappy than happy if you actually get some labor concessions, so bluffing would be unethical.
What would be the result under the Front Page test?
The front page test basically wants you to look at the events from the point of view of a third party that is not involved in the actions. If you could read this on the front page of a newspaper and it happened to someone else, would it be ethical or unethical? Since I believe that bluffing is a valid game strategy, then if I read this on a newspaper I would be OK with it.
Loggers are much likely to supply wood to the market if property rights are not enforced. In the presence of market failures, public policy can improve economic efficiency. Classify the source of market failure in each case listed. Market Failure Market Power Externality A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity.
Answer:
Over
Externality
Market power
Explanation:
Externality is a form of market failure where the activities of economic agents affect third parties not involved in production or consumption
Externality can be positive or negative
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits.
The costs of polluting the river by the firm is greater than the benefits. Thus, this causes negative externality
Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
A firm has Market power when it can increase prices above the level that would exist that in a competitive market.
Firms that have market power are usually monopolies
A monopoly is when there is only one firm that exists in an industry

Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. In 2010, an auction house sold a painting at auction for a price of $1,130,000. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it three years earlier at a price of $1,710,000. What was his annual rate of return on this painting
Answer:
rate of interest = -12.90%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value * (1 + interest rate)^number of years
$1,130,000 = $1,710,000 × (1 + interest rate)^3
0.660819 = (1 + interest rate)^3
0.8710 = 1 + interest rate
So, the rate of interest is
rate of interest = -0.128981
rate of interest = -12.90%
Baker Industries’ net income is $24,000, its interest expense is $6,000, and its tax rate is 25%. Its notes payable equals $24,000, long-term debt equals $75,000, and common equity equals $250,000. The firm finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. What are the firm’s ROE and ROIC? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
ROE = 9.6% , ROIC = 8.17%
Explanation:
1) ROE = Net Income / Common Equity
ROE = $24,000 / $250,000
ROE = 0.096
ROE = 9.6%
2) ROIC = [EBIT * (1-tax rate)] / Total Invested capital
EBT = Net income *100 / (100% - T)
EBT = $24,000 * 100% / 75%
EBT = $24,000 * 1.3333
EBT = $31,999
EBIT = EBT + interest = $31,999 + $6,000
EBIT = $37,999
Invested capital =Notes payable + Long term Debt + Common stock
Invested capital = $24,000 + $75,000 + $250,000
Invested capital = $349,000
ROIC = [$37,999 * (1 - 0.25)] / $349,000
ROIC = [$37,999 * 0.75] / $349,000
ROIC = $28,499.25 / $349,000
ROIC = 0.081660
ROIC = 8.17%
39. You expect to receive $5,000 in 25 years. How much is it worth today if the discount rate is 5.5%?
Answer:

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value (FV)= $5,000
Number of periods (n)= 25 years
Interest rate (i)= 5.5% compounded annually
To calculate the present value (PV), we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1+i)^n
PV= 5,000 / 1.055^25
PV= $1,311.17
started with total assets of and total liabilities of . At the end of , total assets stood at and total liabilities were . Requirements 1. Did the stockholders' equity of increase or decrease during ? By how much? 2. Identify the four possible reasons that stockholders' equity can change. Requirement 1. Did the stockholders' equity of increase or decrease during ? By how much? (Enter a decrease with a minus sign or parentheses.) Change in stockholders' equity during the year is
Answer:
1. Assets = Equity + Liability
Equity = Assets - Liability
Opening Equity = 14,000 - 9,000
= $5,000
Closing Equity = 19,000 - 11,000
= $8,000
Increase ( Decrease) = 8,000 - 5,000
= Increased by $3,000
2. Four ways Equity can change.
Equity will increase if Common Stock is issuedEquity will increase if the company makes a profit ( Net Income ) as this will go to the Equity account as Retained earningsEquity will decrease if the company pays Dividends as those are paid from retained earningsEquity will decrease if there is a net loss.On December 31, 2020, Elena and Edgardo would like to give the maximum amount possible to their five married children, their spouses, and their six grandchildren. Under the Federal gift tax annual exclusion, and assuming that Elena and Edgardo elect gift splitting, how much can they give their family (in total) for 2020
Answer:
$480,000
Explanation:
The Federal gift tax annual exclusion is $15,000 per person. Since they are gift splitting, they can give up to $30,000 per person. The limit is imposed by the couple's total lifetime exclusion which is $11.58 million for 2020. This means that you can make gifts to multiple people during your lifetime and if the total gifts do not pass the lifetime exclusion, you will not be taxed for it.
5 children x 2 (their spouses) = 10 people
6 grandchildren
total = 16 people
total annual gifts = 16 x $30,000 = $480,000

Shirley's time sitting at her desk was interrupted when the human resources manager burst into her office with a particularly vexing problem - customer service ratings had been falling over the last quarter. The human resources manager explained that they were behind on training programs for their workers. Shirley assembled a task force consisting of the brightest minds in the organization and gave them a charge - to look at the previous quarter's issues and to develop training courses over the next 48 months to solve those issues. What roadblock is Shirley confronted with while trying to identify the true problem
Answer: conflicting viewpoints
Explanation: A roadblock is an obstacle or impediment. Shirley is confronted with conflicting viewpoints as a roadblock while trying to determine the true problem she is faced with. She probably holds opposing or contradictory perspectives to that of the Human Resource manager which explains the reason for assembling a team to specifically " look at the previous quarter's issues" and "to develop training courses over the next 48 months to solve those issues". Conflicting viewpoints is one of the problems to quantitative analysis which is a scientific approach to decision making. Others include: outdated solutions, understanding the model, beginning assumptions etc.
Allo Foundation, a tax-exempt organization, invested $200,000 in cost-saving equipment. The equipment has a five-year useful life with no salvage value. Allo estimates that the annual cash savings from this project will amount to $65,000. On investments of this type, Allo's required rate of return is 12%.The net present value of the project is closest to: Select one: a. $34,300 b. $36,400 c. $90,000 d. $125,000
Answer:
Net Present Value = $ 34,310.45
Explanation:
The Net present Value (NPV ) is the difference between the present value PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
The cash inflow is an annuity.
PV of annuity= A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r
A- Annual cash flow ,- 65,000 r - discount rate - 12%, number of years- 5
Present Value of cash inflow =65,000 × (1- (1.12)^(-5)/0.12 = 234,310.45
Initial cost = 200,000
Net Present Value = - 234,310.45 -200,000 = 34,310.45
Net Present Value = $ 34,310.45

At the annual shareholders meeting of the company you work for, the CEO points out that after a record year of cash flow, the company plans to spend significant amounts of that cash in a stock repurchase program. What is one reason the Board of Directors and executive leadership of a company would use its excess cash flow to buy back its own shares?
Answer:
increase their ownership amount of the company
Explanation:
The main reason why shareholders would do this is to increase their ownership amount of the company. Each company only has a certain number of shares available, the entirety of this amount makes up the entire company. The more shares you own, the more of the company you own. Therefore, when there is excess cash flow many shareholders buyback more of their stocks in order to own more of the company, which they think will continue to grow and bring them more profits.
