Sweet Catering completed the following selected transactions during May 2016:
May 1: Prepaid rent for three months, $2,100
May 5: Received and paid electricity bill, $90
May 9: Received cash for meals served to customers, $2,520
May 14: Paid cash for kitchen equipment, $3,770
May 23: Served a banquet on account, $1,900
May 31: Made the adjusting entry for rent (from May 1).
May 31: Accrued salary expense, $2,290
May 31: Recorded depreciation for May on kitchen equipment, $560 If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
Answer:
1. Cash Basis $790
Accrual basis $263
2. Cash method $(3,440)
Accrual method $780
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine how much advertising expense would they have recorded for the two months ending February 28
UNDER THE CASH BASIS, the Law Firm will record $790 of advertising expense for the two months ending February 28.
UNDER THE ACCRUAL BASIS, the Law Firm will record $263 ($790/6*2) of advertising expense for the two months ending February 28.
Therefore the amount of advertising expense l would they have recorded for the two months ending February 28 is:
Cash Basis $790
Accrual basis $263
2a. Calculation to determine how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method
Using this formula
Net income (loss) using cash method = Meals served to customer – Rent paid – Electricity bill – Cash paid for kitchen equipment
Let plug in the formula
Net income (loss) using cash method= $2,520 -$2,100-$90-$3,770
Net income (loss) using cash method= $(3,440)
Therefore If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May is $(3,440)
2b. Calculation to determine how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method
Using this formula
Net income (loss) using accrual method = Meals served to customer+ Served a banquet on account – Rent expense – Electricity bill – Salary expense – Depreciation
Let plug in the formula
Net income (loss) using accrual method= $2,520+$1,900-($2,100/3)-$90-$2,290-$560
Net income (loss) using accrual method=$2,520+$1,900-$700-$90-$2,290-$560
Net income (loss) using accrual method=$780
Therefore If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May is $780

Solar Innovations Corporation bought a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $31,000. The estimated useful life was five years and the residual value was $3,000. Assume that the estimated productive life of the machine is 10,000 units. Expected annual production was year 1, 2,000 units; year 2, 3,000 units; year 3, 2,000 units; year 4, 2,000 units; and year 5, 1,000 units.
Required:
a. Which method will result in the highest net income in year 2?
b. Does this higher net income mean the machine was used more efficiently under this depreciation method?
Answer:
Straight line depreciation
no
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(31,000 - 3000) / 5 = $5,600
depreciation expense each year is 5600
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(3000 / 10,000) x (31,000 - 3000) = 8400
Double declining =
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
2/5 x 31000 = 12400
year 2 = 2/5 x(31,000 - 12400) = 7440
Ken's home has a replacement value of $200,000. Ken insured the home for $150,000 under an unendorsed Homeowners 3 policy. The roof of Ken's home was damaged by a windstorm. The replacement cost of the damaged roof is $16,000. The actual cash value of the loss is $12,000. How much will Ken receive from his insurer to settle this claim
Answer: $15,000
Explanation:
Using a Homeowners 3 policy, Ken will get the higher amount out of two amounts which are:
The actual cash value of the damaged area. An amount calculated as follows:= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
The actual cash value is $12,000
The second amount is:
= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
= 150,000 / (80% * 200,000) * 16,000
= 0.9375 * 16,000
= $15,000
Ken will receive the higher amount of $15,000.

Doris purchased a zero coupon bond 5 years ago for $675.68. If the bond matures today and the face value is $1,000, what is the average annual compound rate of return (calculated semiannually) that she realized on her investment
Answer:
8.00%
Explanation:
The price of a zero-coupon bond is the present value of its face value since no coupon payments exist, hence, we can determine the semiannual rate of return using the formula below:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV= $675.68
FV=$1000
r=semiannual rate of return=unknown
n=number of semiannual periods in 5 years=5*2=10
$675.68=$1000/(1+r)^10
$675.68*(1+r)^10=$1000
(1+r)^10=$1000/$675.68
$1000/$675.68 can be rewritten as ($1000/$675.68)^1
(1+r)^10=($1000/$675.68)^1
divide indexes on both sides by 2
1+r=($1000/$675.68)^(1/10)
r=($1000/$675.68)^(1/10)-1
r=4.00%(semiannual rate of return)
the annual rate of return(compounded semiannually)=4.00%*2=8.00%
Fill in the missing numbers in the following income statement:
Sales $645,000
Costs 346,500
Depreciation 97,200
EBIT $
Taxes (35%)
Net income $
Required:
a. What is the OCF?
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation
= $645,000 - $346,500 - $97,200
= $201,300
Taxes = EBIT × 35%
= $201,300 × 35%
= $70,455
Net income = EBIT - Taxes
= $201,300 - $70,455
= $130,845
1. OCF
= Net income + Depreciation
= $130,845 + $97,200
= $228,045
2. Depreciation tax shield
= Depreciation × Tax rate
=$97,200 × 35%
= $34,020

The December 31, 2009, balance sheet of Anna’s Tennis Shop, Inc., showed current assets of $2,584 and current liabilities of $1,191. The December 31, 2010, balance sheet showed current assets of $2,644 and current liabilities of $1,048. What was the company’s 2010 change in net working capital, or NWC?
Answer: ($203)
Explanation:
The company’s 2010 change in net working capital will be calculated thus:
Net working capital = current assets - current liabilities
For 2009, net working capital will be:
= $2,584 - $1,191
= $1393.
For 2010, net working capital will be:
= $2,644 - $1,048
= $1596
Change in net working capital will be:
= $1393 - $1596
= ($203)

For the year, Logitom planned to sell 1,104,000 units at a $39 selling price. The marketing manager was asked to explain why budgeted revenue had not been achieved for that year. Investigation revealed the following information:
Actual sales volume 1,135,200 units
Actual selling price $38 per unit
Calculate the sales price variance, the sale volume variance, and the total revenue variance.
Answer:
Sales price variance = Actual quantity sold * (Actual price - Budgeted selling price)
Sales price variance = 1,135,200 * ($38 - $39)
Sales price variance = 1,135,200 * $1
Sales price variance = $1,135,200 Unfavorable
Sales volume variance = Budgeted selling price * (Actual quantity - Budgeted quantity)
Sales volume variance = $39 * (1,135,200 - 1,104,000)
Sales volume variance = $39 * 31,200
Sales volume variance = $1,216,800 Favorable
Total revenue variance = (Actual quantity * Actual price) - (Budgeted quantity * Budgeted price)
Total revenue variance = (1,135,200 * $38) - (1,104,000 * $39)
Total revenue variance = $43,137,600 - $43,056,000
Total revenue variance = $81,600 Favorable
Purchases Budget in Units and Dollars Budgeted sales of The Music Shop for the first six months of 2010 are as follows: Month Unit Sales Month Unit Sales January 130,000 April 200,000 February 170,000 May 180,000 March 190,000 June 250,000Beginning inventory for 2010 is 40,000 units. The budgeted inventory at the end of a month is 40 percent of units to be sold the following month. Purchase price per unit is $6. Prepare a purchases budget in units and dollars for each month, January through May.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the purchase for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases January:
Production= 130,000
Desired ending inventory= (170,000*0.4)= 68,000
Beginning inventory= (40,000)
Total purchase in units= 158,000
Total purchase cost= 158,000*6= $948,000
Purchases February:
Production= 170,000
Desired ending inventory= (190,000*0.4)= 76,000
Beginning inventory= (68,000)
Total purchase in units= 178,000
Total purchase cost= 178,000*6= $1,068,000
Purchases March:
Production= 190,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.4)= 80,000
Beginning inventory= (76,000)
Total purchase in units= 194,000
Total purchase cost= 194,000*6= $1,164,000
Purchases April:
Production= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (180,000*0.4)= 72,000
Beginning inventory= (80,000)
Total purchase in units= 192,000
Total purchase cost= 192,000*6= $1,152,000
Purchases May:
Production= 180,000
Desired ending inventory= (250,000*0.4)= 100,000
Beginning inventory= (72,000)
Total purchase in units= 208,000
Total purchase cost= 208,000*6= $1,248,000
you are planning to make monthly deposits of $140 into a retirement account that pays 13 percent interest compounded monthly. If your first deposit will be made one month from now, how large will your retirement account be in 25 years
Answer:
FV= $314,365.69
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposti= $140
Number of months= 25*12= 300
Interest rate= 0.13/12= 0.01083
To calculate the future value of the investment, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {140*[(1.01083^300) - 1]} / 0.01083
FV= $314,365.69
In its 2001 annual report, investors of Adelphia Communications were startled to find a footnote to its financial statements that reported the company had guaranteed as much as $2.7 billion in loans to a private entity owned by CEO John Rigas and his family. As a result of the footnote, Adelphia lost more than 50 percent of its market value in little more than a week.
Required:
Explain why you think the market value of Adelphia fell so dramatically with the footnote disclosure that the company had guaranteed loans to an entity owned by the company's CEO and his family
Answer:
Explanation:
The transaction of $2.7 billion as a loan lender to a private corporation controlled by the CEO John Rigas plus his family suggests a significant likelihood of asset theft and fraudulent activity. The misappropriation of assets is a sign of a company's financial instability. It implies that people in charge of administration are not using the firm's profits to maximize shareholders' wealth, but rather are advancing the interests of only one shareholder.
As soon as the news reaches the investors, a reasonable investor would sell his stock holdings and divest from the firm. As a result of the bulk of investors' divestment, stock prices have dropped by more than 50% in a week in Adelphia Communications.
The hyrbrid automobile grew out of automobile designers' realization that there were changes in the legal environment regarding automobile emissions to which they need not comply.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Hybrid cars use both electricity and gasoline motors and engines. The concept behind this is that the electricity gives the car better acceleration and the gasoline then maintains it.
Developed countries tax gasoline due to its emissions but don't really tax electricity. On realizing this, designers recognized that they could combine both gasoline and electricity to create hybrids that would decrease the cost of taxation of using gasoline.

An industry consists of three firms with sales of $355,000, $825,000, and $435,000.
a. Calculate the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI).
Instruction:
Enter your response rounded to the nearest integer.
b. Calculate the four-firm concentration ratio (C4).
c. Based on the FTC and DOJ Horizontal Merger Guidelines described in the text, is the Department of Justice likely to attempt to block a horizontal merger between two firms with sales of $355,000 and $435,000
Answer:
Calculating Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and Four-Firm Concentration Ratio:
a. Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) = 3,814
b. The four-firm concentration ratio (C4) = 1
c. If the two firms with sales of $355,000 and $435,000 merged, the resulting HHI would increase by 1,723 to 5,537. The post-merger HHI now exceeds that allowed under the Guidelines (2,500). The increase in HHI is more than that permitted under the Guidelines (200), the merger is likely to be blocked by the Department of Justice.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales of three firms in an industry:
Sales Industry Share
Firm A sales = $355,000 22% ($355,000/$1,615,000 * 100)
Firm B sales = 825,000 51% ($825,000/$1,615,000 * 100)
Firm C sales = 435,000 27% ($435,000/$1,615,000 * 100)
Total sales = $1,615,000
Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) = 3,814 (22² + 51² + 27²)
Four-firm concentration ratio (C4) = Sales of the four largest firms/Industry sales = $1,615,000/$1,615,000
If the two firms with sales of $355,000 and $435,000 were to merge, the new Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) = 5,537(49² + 51²)
Increase in HHI as a result of the merger = 1,723

At the beginning of the period, the Assembly Department budgeted direct labor of $60,500 and property tax of $26,000 for 5,500 hours of production. The department actually completed 6,800 hours of production. Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting. $ fill in the blank 1
Answer:
Total cost= $100,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Property tax= $26,000
Direct labor= $60,500
Number of hours= 5,500
Property tax is a fixed cost. We need to calculate the hourly rate for direct labor:
Hourly rate= 60,500 / 5,500
Hourly rate= $11
Now, the flexible budget:
Fixed cost= 26,00
Variable cost= 11*6,800= 74,800
Total cost= $100,800
