Answer:
a. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021.
market price:
PV of face value = $33,000,000 / 1.04²⁰ = $15,060,769
PV of coupon payments = $990,000 x 13.590 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 20 periods) = $13,454,100
market price = $28,514,869
b. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond issuance by Bishop on January 1, 2021.
Dr Cash 28,514,869
Dr Discount on bonds payable 4,485,131
Cr Bonds payable 33,000,000
c. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on June 30, 2021, using the effective interest method.
amortization of bond discount = ($28,514,869 x 4%) - $990,000 = $150,595
Dr Interest expense 1,140,595
Cr Cash 990,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 150,595
d. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on December 31, 2021, using the effective interest method.
amortization of bond discount = ($28,665,464 x 4%) - $990,000 = $156,619

Trevor Williams Company borrowed $10,000 from Mike Trout National Bank on May 1, 2019. Interest on the note, which accumulates at 6% annually, is paid when the loan principal is repaid. The loan remains outstanding on June 30 when both the Williams Company’s and the Trout National Bank close their books to prepare financial statements. Other than cash, The Williams Company’s balance sheet shows which of these amounts related to the loan?
a. Reduce June's pre-tax income by $50
b. Reduce June's pre-tax income by $100
c. Increase June's pre-tax income by $100
d. Increase June's pre-tax income by $50
Answer:
Trevor Williams Company
a. Reduce June's pre-tax income by $50
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Bank loan = $10,000
Date of loan = May 1, 2019
Interest rate on loan = 6%
This amounts to an interest expense of $600 ($10,000 * 6%) per annum
Accounting year end = June 30
To account for the two months at year-end, the interest expense will be $100 ($600 * 2/12), but to account for only June, the interest expense is only $50.
b) Interest expense, whether paid for in cash or not, reduces the pre-tax income. It is accounted for in the income statement after the earnings before interests and taxes.

Newhard Company assigns overhead cost to jobs on the basis of 115% of direct labor cost. The job cost sheet for Job 313 includes $17,435 in direct materials cost and $10,100 in direct labor cost. A total of 1,350 units were produced in Job 313. Required: a. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 313
Answer:
the total manufacturing cost is $39,150
Explanation:
The computation of the total manufacturing cost assigned as follows:
Overhead costs is
= 115% of $10,100
= $11,615
Now the total manufacturing cost is
= Direct materials cost + Direct labor costs + Overhead costs
= $17,435 + $10,100 + $11,615
= $39,150
Hence, the total manufacturing cost is $39,150
Organization Weighs Use of Open Source Software. You began operating a small general electric contracting company two years ago. Originally, it was just you and your cousin, but it has grown to five licensed electricians, plus one office manager who takes calls from customers, schedules the work, and orders parts and supplies. Your company handles a wide range of work, including installing new circuit breaker panels, rewiring existing electrical systems for renovations and additions, and installing residential light fixtures, security lighting systems, swimming pool lighting, and ceiling fans. Business has really taken off, and your current manual systems and procedures can no longer keep pace. The office manager has been exploring several options and has identified three different software packages designed for small contractors. Each one of the packages includes software designed for managing parts and supplies inventory, scheduling jobs, and invoicing customers. One of the packages also provides the capability to perform accounts receivable and accounts payable functions. Two of the software packages are from large, well-known companies, and both have an initial licensing cost of roughly $550 plus $100 per year for software support. The other software package is open-source software, with no initial cost and no support cost. The office manager is unsure how to proceed, but has your agreement to spend up to $1000 on new software.
Which one of the following should be your next step?
a. Define the basic business functions that you need the software to be able perform.
b. Determine the date by which you need the new software installed and operational.
c. Talk to your cousin Vinnie who is an accountant in a large manufacturing firm.
d. Set an exact limit on how much you are willing to spend on office software.
Answer:
a. Define the basic business functions that you need the software to be able to perform.
Explanation:
The main function of a business needs to be determined so that business strategy can be formulated. The office manager has made an agreement to spend up to $1000 on the new software. It is now required to determine the basic functions which are needed in the new software for business functioning.

a. $19,275.
b. $40,000.
c. $62,206.
d. $16,163.
Answer:
Total Cost of Work in Process
$57,854
Total cost of the units
d. $120,060
Total cost of beginning inventory
c. $62,206
Explanation:
Department G has 3,600 units which were 25% completed. The units completed during the period are 11,000.
3,600 * 25% = 900
Units completed 11,000
total units 11,900
Cost per unit is $10.08.
Total cost of units completed = 11,900 * 10.08 = $120,060.
If the required reserve ratio is 10% and the central bank sells $100,000 of government securities to bank X, then government securities will_______ by ______ and the money supply will _______ *
1) Increase; $100,000; decrease by $1,000,000
2) Increase; $100,000; increase by $100,000
3) Decrease; $100,000; decrease by $100,000
4) Decrease; $100,000; increase by $1,000,000
Answer:
1) Increase; $100,000; decrease by $1,000,000
Explanation:
Given that
The required reserve ratio is 10%
And, the sale of the government securities is $100,000
So the government securities would be increased by $100,000 and the money supply would be decreased by
= $100,000 ÷ 0.10
= $1,000,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.

Manufacturing costs: Work in process, September 1, $15,200; materials added $60,000; labor and overhead $132,000. Polzin uses the FIFO method to compute equivalent units.
Required:
Compute the equivalent units of production for (1) materials and (2) conversion costs for the month of September.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of products for material and conversion is as follows:
(1)
For material
= 9,000 units + 1,000 units
= 10,000 units
(2)
for conversion
= 2,000 units × (1 - 20%) + 9,000 units + 1,000 units + 1,000 units × 40%
= 1,600 units + 9,000 units + 400 units
= 11,000 units

The following information is available pertaining to Iris Division that uses a plantwide overhead rate based on machine hours:
Mixing Dept. Finishing Dept. Total
Overhead $60,000 $150,000 $210,000
Direct labor-hours 7,500 2,500 10,000
Machine-hours 2,500 7,500 10,000
Production information pertaining to Job 101:
Mixing Dept. Finishing Dept. Total
Prime costs $10,000 $0 $10,000
Direct labor-hours 250 0 250
Machine-hours 10 10 20
Units produced 500 0 500
What are the total overhead costs assigned to Job 101? $240, $420, $360, or $180
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $420
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 210,000 / 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $21 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 101:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 21*20
Allocated MOH= $420
Presented below is information related to Novak Company at December 31, 2020, the end of its first year of operations.
Sales revenue $291,980
Cost of goods sold 128,220
Selling and administrative expenses 51,800
Gain on sale of plant assets 27,190
Unrealized gain on available-for-sale debt investments 10,240
Interest expense 5,700
Loss on discontinued operations 12,550
Dividends declared and paid 4,600
Compute the following:
A) Income from operations.
B) Net income.
C) Comprehensive income.
D) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2017.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
(a) Income from Operation is
= Sales Revenue - COGS - Selling & admin exp
= $291,980 - $128,220 - $51,800
= $111,960
(b) Net Income is
= Sales Revenue - COGS - Selling & admin exp + Gain on sales of assets - Interest exp - Loss on Discontinued Operations
= $291,980 - $128,220 - $51,800 + $27,190 - $5,700 - $12,550
= $120,900
(c) Comprehensive Income is
= Net Income + Unrealized gain on available for sale investments
= $120,900 + $10,240
= $131,140
(d) Retained earning ending balance is
= Net Income - Dividends declare & paid
= $120,900 - $4,600
= $116,300
AdCreate negotiated a rate of 12.5% for a commission system payment with Worry Free Financial for a campaign in 2016. AdCreate arranged for the airing of three ads, during Newshour on CNN, in the first week of the launch campaign. AdCreate's income for these three ads in the first week was $49,375. Based on this information, which of the following is true?
I. The client (Worry Free Financial) paid AdCreate $425,625 for the three ads.
II. AdCreate paid CNN $425,625 for the three ads.
III. AdCreate paid CNN $345,625 for the three ads.
a. Ill only
b. I and ll
c. II only
d. I only
Answer:
a.) 111 only
Explanation:
Let amount paid = x
12.5% of x = $49375
0.125x = 49375
x = 49375 / 0.125
x = 395,000
The amount worry free financial paid Adcreate is $395,000 ;
Adcreate would subtract their 12.5% ($49,375) and pay CNN;
Amount adcreate paid CNN is :
$395,000 - $49,375 = $345,625
Hence, statements; I. The client (Worry Free Financial) paid AdCreate $425,625 for the three ads.
II. AdCreate paid CNN $425,625 for the three ads.

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. Additional information for the first process follows. During November, the first process transferred 700,000 units of product to the second process. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 180,000 units that are 30% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $420,000 of direct materials and $139,000 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $2,220,000, and the conversion cost added is $3,254,000. Beginning work in process consisted of 60,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 60,000 were from beginning work in process and 640,000 units were started and completed during the period. Required: For the first process: 1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.
Answer:
Direct materials = 880,000 units Conversion = 754,000 unitsExplanation:
a. Direct materials
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process which means that the ending WIP is already 100% complete with respect to direct materials.
EUP Direct materials = Finished goods + Closing EUP
= 700,000 + 180,000
= 880,000 units
b. Conversion
= Finished goods + Closing EUP
= 700,000 + (0.30 * 180,000)
= 700,000 + 54,000
= 754,000 units
Koch traded Machine 1 for Machine 2 when the fair market value of both machines was $49,750. Koch originally purchased Machine 1 for $75,500, and Machine 1's adjusted basis was $40,250 at the time of the exchange. Machine 2's seller purchased it for $64,750 and Machine 2's adjusted basis was $55,250 at the time of the exchange. What is Koch's adjusted basis in machine 2 after the exchange
Answer:
machine 2 45,000
acc depreciation mchine 1 35,000
machine 1 75,000
The seller valuation are not relevant the important is the fair value. Which is 50,000.
If there was commercial substance we will recognize a gain for 5,000
(50,000 fair value - 45,000 book value)
However, we are not given with information of commercial substance, so we should not recognize any gain or loss in trade.
The machine 2 will enter the accounting for the same value as the previous machine net book.

What is the total amount of product cost listed above
Answer:
Product costs= $259,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $ 168,800
Direct labor $ 90,900
The product costs are all expenses directly involved in the production. It generally involves the prime costs (direct material and direct labor).
Product costs= direct material + direct labor
Product costs= 168,800 + 90,900
Product costs= $259,700
Maria is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: Maria has only 20 hours this week that she can devote to training. Each hour she spends swimming is an hour that she can't spend biking or running. Which basic principle of individual choice do these statements best illustrate?
a. Maria has an incentive to spend more time on swimming than on biking or running.
b. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.
c. Maria can use lime most efficiently by spending the same amounts of time on swimming, biking, and running.
d. People face trade-offs
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Maria's time (resource) is limited so she has to choose between activities. This is known as trade off. Due to unlimited wants and limited resources available to fulfil the needs, humans must choose between activities.
This concept of trade off also gives rise to opportunity cost
opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
If Maria swims, she forgoes the opportunity to go bike riding or running

Selected financial data regarding current assets and current liabilities for Queen’s Line, a competitor in the cruise line industry, is provided:($ in millions)Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 331 Current investments 63 Net receivables 230 Inventory 116 Other current assets 135Total current assets $ 875 Current liabilities: Accounts payable $1,025 Short-term debt 694 Other current liabilities 919 Total current liabilities $2,638Required:Calculate the current ratio and the acid-test ratio for Queen’s Line.
Answer:
Current ratio = 0.33 times
Acid test ratio = 0.29 times
Explanation:
• Current ratio
Current ratio = Total current assets ÷ Total current liabilities
= $875 ÷ $2,638
= 0.33 times
• Acid test ratio
Acid test ratio = Quick assets ÷ total current liabilities
Where,
Quick assets = Total current assets - Inventory
= $875 - $116
= $759
Recall total current liabilities = $2,638
Therefore,
Acid test ratio = $759 ÷ $2,638
Acid test ratio = 0.29 times
A company issued 8%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $580,000 that pay interest semiannually. The market rate on the date of issuance was 8%. The journal entry to record each semiannual interest payment is:_________
A. Debit Bond Interest Expense $23,200; credit Cash $23,200.
B. Debit Bond Interest Expense $46,400; credit Cash $46,400.
C. Debit Bond Interest Payable $38,667; credit Cash $38,667.
D. Debit Bond Interest Expense $530,000; credit Cash $530,000.
E. No entry is needed, since no interest is paid until the bond is due.
Answer: Debit Bond Interest Expense $23,200; credit Cash $23,200.
Explanation:
With regards to the above, we should note that due to the fact that the bonds are issued at par, no discount will be involved for this particular bond. Therefore, the interest expense will be calculated as:
= (580,000 × 8% × 15) / 2
= (580,000 × 0.08 × 15)/2
= 348,000
Then, each semiannual interest payment will be:
= $348,000 / 15
= $23200
Therefore, journal entry to record each semiannual interest payment is:
Debit Bond Interest Expense $23,200;
Credit Cash $23,200.
Alpha and Beta, two small economies, can produce cheese or butter with the same resource, raw milk. Assuming constant opportunity costs, Alpha can produce either 30 pounds of cheese or 15 pounds of butter per day. Beta can produce either 40 pounds of cheese or 10 pounds of butter per day.
The opportunity cost of producing one pound of butter for Alpha is
a. two-thirds of a pound of cheese.
b. half of a pound of cheese.
c. two pounds of cheese.
d. one pound of cheese.
e. one and a half pounds of cheese
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
By choosing to produce one pound of butter, Alpha is forgoing the opportunity to produce one more pound of cheese
Opportunity cost = 30/15 = 2

11. Time value of money calculations can be solved using a mathematical equation, a financial calculator, or a spreadsheet. The equation which can be used to solve for the present value of a perpetuity is given below;
Present value of a perpetuity (PV) = PMT/r
Where;
PMT represents the payment amount.r represents the annual interest rate.Holly took a prospective client to dinner, and after agreeing to a business deal, they went to the theater. Holly paid $320 for the meal and separately paid $238 for the theater tickets, amounts that were reasonable under the circumstances. What amount of these expenditures can Holly deduct as a business expense
Answer:
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed how meals and entertainment can be deducted:
The C.O.V.I.D Relief Bill allows businesses to deduct up to 100% of the cost of business meals (regularly it would be 50% only) = $320
But entertainment is not deductible, so $0
total deduction (for 2020) = $320
Hank, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for his sole proprietorship. In late December, he performed $38,000 of legal services for a client. Hank typically requires his clients to pay his bills immediately upon receipt. Assume his marginal tax rate is 32 percent this year and will be 37 percent next year, and that he can earn an after-tax rate of return of 12 percent on his investments.

Answer:
Hank, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for his sole proprietorship.
a. The after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in December
= $26,098.40
b. The after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in January:
= $23,700.60
c. Hank should send his client the bill in December.
d. After-tax income if Hank expects his marginal tax rate to be 25% next year and sends his client the bill in January:
= $28,215
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of services performed = $38,000
Marginal tax rate this year = 32%
Marginal tax rate next year = 37%
After-tax return on investments = 12%
1. Bill sent in December:
After-tax income
For services rendered = $25,840 ($38,000 * (1 - 0.32))
After-tax return on $25,840 investment for 1 month = $258.40 ($25,840 * 12%)/12
Total after-tax income = $26,098.40
2. Bill sent in January:
After-tax income
For services rendered = $23,700.60 ($38,000 * (1 - 0.37) * 0.990
3. Bill sent in January with marginal tax rate = 25% next year:
After-tax income
For services rendered = $28,215 ($38,000 * (1 - 0.25) * 0.990
