On June 1, 2021, Emmet Property Management entered into a 2-year contract to oversee leasing and maintenance for an apartment building. The contract starts on July 1, 2021. Under the terms of the contract, Emmet will be paid a fixed fee of $54,000 per year and will receive an additional 10% of the fixed fee at the end of each year provided that building occupancy exceeds 80%. Emmet estimates a 20% chance it will exceed the occupancy threshold, and concludes the revenue recognition over time is appropriate for this contract. Assume Emmet estimates variable consideration as the most likely amount. How much revenue should Emmet recognize on this contract in 2021? Multiple Choice $27,540 $54,000 $30,750 $27,000
Answer:
$27,540
Explanation:
Expected amount = Possible amount into probability
Expected amount = ($54,000*80%) + ($54,000+10%)*20%
Expected amount = $43,200 + ($54,000+$5,400)*20%
Expected amount = $43,200 + $59,400*20%
Expected amount = $43,200 + $11,880
Expected amount = $55,080
Revenue to be recognized on this contract in 2021 = $55,080 * 6/12 = $27,540.

= $76,800
hence, the net deferred tax liability that should be reflected on Pharoah's balance sheet at December 31, 2021 be $76,800

A company reported total stockholders' equity of $540,000 on its balance sheet dated December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the company reported net income of $60,000, declared and paid a cash dividend of $18,000, declared and distributed a 10% stock dividend with a $15,000 total market value, issued additional common stock for $70,000, and resold treasury stock for $15,000 that it had purchased in 2016 for $12,000. What is total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2017
Answer:
$667,000
Explanation:
stockholders' equity December 31, 2016 = $540,000
plus net income = $60,000
minus cash dividends = ($18,000)
plus issuance of common stock = $70,000
plus sale of treasury stock = $15,000
stockholders' equity = $667,000
Stock dividends do not affect the value of stockholders' equity, that is why they are not included in this calculation.
Warren Company plans to depreciate a new building using the double declining-balance depreciation method. The building cost is $820,000. The estimated residual value of the building is $52,000 and it has an expected useful life of 25 years. Assuming the first year's depreciation expense was recorded properly, what would be the amount of depreciation expense for the second year
Answer:
The depreciation expense for the second year would be $60,352.
Explanation:
Double-declining-balance can be described as a method of depreciation method that depreciates an assets at twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method.
The depreciation expense for the second year can then be calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number expected useful life = 1 / 25 = 0.04, or 4%
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2
= 4% * 2 = 8%
Year 1 depreciation expense = Building cost * Double-declining depreciation rate = $820,000 * 8% = $65,600
Year 2 depreciation expense = (Building cost - Year 1 depreciation expense) * Double-declining depreciation rate = ($820,000 - $65,600) * 8% = $754,400 * 8% = $60,352
Therefore, the depreciation expense for the second year would be $60,352.

Axel wants to punish a subordinate that he personally dislikes. However, the subordinate fulfils all his job duties and produces excellent work. Both Axel and the subordinate are governed by very comprehensive policies and rules negotiated by a union in a collective agreement. Which contingency does Axel lack that prevents him from arbitrarily punishing the subordinate

Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $40 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $38. The $48 per unit is a:
Answer: Sunk Cost
Explanation:
A sunk cost is an expense which a company or entity has already incurred and which cannot be recovered and so should not be considered when making decisions regarding incremental benefits or costs to an investment.
The $48 had already been incurred to produce the defective units and cannot be recovered so it is a sunk cost that should not be considered moving forward.

ou decide to invest in a portfolio consisting of 17 percent Stock X, 38 percent Stock Y, and the remainder in Stock Z. Based on the following information, what is the standard deviation of your portfolio? State of Economy Probability of State Return if State Occurs of Economy Stock X Stock Y Stock Z Normal .75 9.20% 2.60% 11.60% Boom .25 16.50% 24.50% 16.00%
Answer:
5.00%
Explanation:
The computation of the standard deviation is as follows;
Stock return for Normal state of the economy
= 0.17 × 9.20 + 0.38 × 2.60 + 0.45 × 11.60
= 1.564% + 0.988% + 5.22%
= 7.78%
Now
Stock return for Boom state of the economy
= 0.17 × 16.50 + 0.38 × 24.50 + 0.45 × 16
= 2.805% + 9.31% + 7.2%
= 19.32%
Now Weighted average return
= 0.75 × 7.78 + 0.25 × 19.32
= 5.835% + 4.83%
= 10.67%
Standard deviation = Normal probability × (Stock return for Normal state of the economy - Weighted average return)^number of years + Boom probability × (Stock return for Boom state of the economy - Weighted average return)^number of years)^percentage
= 0.75 × (7.78 - 10.67)^2 + 0.25 × (19.32 - 10.67)^2)^0.5
= 5.00%

2. The main characteristics of the balance sheet and the income statement and the relationship between the two statements:
The balance sheet is a financial statement that records the outstanding balances of assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of a period. It states the closing balances that are permanent and transferrable to the next accounting period. The income statement is a financial statement that records the revenue, expenses, and income for the period. The temporary closing balances are taken to this statement in order to determine the net income.
The relationship between the two statements is that the net income or loss that is extracted from the income statement is taken to the balance sheet. The two statements are end-of-period financial statements that determine the financial profitability and the financial position (assets, liabilities, and equity) of the business.
Explanation:
In this instance, the template for adding and subtracting amounts in the rows is not available. So the transactions have been recorded using the journal. Most importantly, note that, each transaction increases or reduces the assets, the liabilities, and the equity, as the case may be.
Assume the Atlas Corporation is expected to pay a $5 cash dividend next year. Dividends are expected to shrink at a rate of 3% per year. The expected return from the market portfolio is 13% and riskless interest rate is 6%. Use the constant-growth dividend discount model (DDM) to determine the intrinsic value of Atlas stock if the company has a beta of .5.
Answer: $40
Explanation:
First find the required return using CAPM;
Required return = Riskfree rate + beta * (Market return - riskfree rate)
= 6% + 0.5 * (13% - 6%)
= 9.5%
Then use DDM to determine intrinsic value;
= Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)
= 5 / (9.5% - (-3%))
= $40
At the end of 20X4, Sherpa Lighting Ltd. has a large stock of incandescent lighting fixtures that are becoming obsolete due to a new trend to low-energy fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures. The current inventory of incandescent fixtures has a cost of $170,000. The sales manager of Sherpa estimates that the inventory can be sold through the normal course of business over the next several reporting quarters for approximately $150,000. Sales personnel are given a 10% commission on sales. In addition, Sherpa will grant an additional 5% sales commission for sales of these almost-obsolete fixtures, intended to make up for the reduced sales prices as well as an additional incentive to sell them. In early 20X5, Sherpa's production manager decided that the fixtures can be adapted to not only accept the new LED lighting but also compete quite effectively with new products coming on the market. During 2005, the fixtures are converted at a cost of $25,000. The sales manager estimates that after the conversion, the newly adapted inventory can be repriced to fetch $185,000 (before 10% sales commission) in the market. Required: Using the valuation allowance method, prepare the appropriate journal entries to record inventory adjustments at the end of each of 20X4 and 20X5.
Answer:
Sherpa Lighting Ltd.
Journal Entries, using the valuation allowance method:
December 31, 20X4:
Debit Inventory Write-down Expense $20,000
Credit Inventory $20,000
To write down inventory because of obsolescence.
December 31, 20X5:
Debit Inventory $25,000
Credit Cash Account $25,000
To record the cost of converting the fixtures.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31, 20X4:
Cost of Inventory of incandescent fixtures = $170,000
Estimated sales value of the inventory = $150,000
Obsolete inventory Expense = $20,000 ($170,000 - $150,000)
December 31, 20X5:
Balance of Inventory of incandescent fixtures = $150,000
Add conversion cost = 25,000
Ending balance of inventory = $175,000
in constructing the official unemployment rate (U-3), which of the following does the bureau of labor statistics take into account? choose as many as are correct.
a)survey of firms reporting how many workers they laid off or fired
b)initial unemployment claimed field
c)the average unemployment rate over the last 12 months
d)The change in job posting from one year ago
e) survey of individuals reporting wheater they have job or active looked for work in the last 4 week
Answer:
e) survey of individuals reporting whether they have job or active looked for work in the last 4 week
Explanation:
The unemployment rate (U-3) reports on the number of jobless people that are actively seeking employment. The bureau of labor statistics considers individuals who have sought employment in the past four weeks. The bureau defines an unemployed person as one that is jobless but has actively sought work in the last four weeks.
This unemployment rate (U3) is the most reported and followed. The report is released monthly. The U3 unemployment rate is criticized for not being inclusive of all jobless people. For instance, it does not include discouraged job seekers or those not looking for work due to other factors such as caring for the sick and elderly at home.

The following information was taken from the 2021 financial statements of Waterway Industries: Bonds payable, January 1, 2021 $ 809000 Bonds payable, December 31, 2021 4830000 During 2021 • A $725000 payment was made to retire bonds payable with a face amount of $807000. • Bonds payable with a face amount of $319000 were issued in exchange for equipment. In its statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, what amount should Waterway report as proceeds from issuance of bonds payable?
Answer:
the amount reported as proceeds from bond issuance is $4,509,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount reported as proceeds from bond issuance is as follows
Total Bond Issued during 2021
= Bonds payable, December 31, 2021 - Bonds payable, January 1, 2021 + Bond Payable retired
= $4,830,000 - $809,000 + $807,000
= $4,828,000
Now
Bond issued for cash is
= Total bond issued - Bonds issued in exchange for Equipment
= $4,828,000 - $319,000
= $4,509,000
Hence, the amount reported as proceeds from bond issuance is $4,509,000
According to the Taylor rule, if inflation is 9% and the GDP gap is 4%, what is the recommendation for the federal funds rate target?
Answer: 16.5%
Explanation:
The Taylor Rule suggests that the Federal reserve should raise the fed funds rate if inflation rates are above the targeted rates and/ or if GDP is growing at a higher rate than it potentially should.
The rate is calculated as;
Federal funds rate target = (1.5 * Inflation rate) + (0.5 * GDP gap) + 1
= (1.5 * 9%) + (0.5 * 4%) + 1%
= 13.5% + 2% + 1
= 16.5%

Coronado Inc. has $520,640 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. One alternative provides $69,086 at the end of each year for 12 years, and the other is to receive a single lump-sum payment of $1,633,990 at the end of the 12 years. Which alternative should Coronado select
Answer:
None of the alternative should be selected by Coronado Inc.
Explanation:
This can be determined by comparing the net present value of the 2 alternative.
The fisrt thing to do is to calculate the simple interest to be used as follows:
Simple rate of return = Annual return / Investment cost = $69,086 / $520,640 = 0.1327, or 13.27%
Step 1: Calculation of the net present value of alternative that provides $69,086 at the end of each year for 12 years
We have to first calculate the present value using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV$69,086 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV$69,086 = Present value of the annual cash flow of $69,086 = ?
P = Annual cash inflow = $69,086
r = Simple rate of return = 0.1327, or 13.27%
n = Number of years = 12
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV$69,086 = $69,086 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.1327))^12) / 0.1327) = $403,899.27
The net present value can now be calculated as follows:
NPV$69,086 = PV$69,086 - Investment cost ............... (2)
Where;
NPV$69,086 = Net present value of alternative that provides $69,086 at the end of each year for 12 years = ?
PV$69,086 = Present value of the annual cash flow of $69,086 = $440,303.13
Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:
NPV$69,086 = $ 403,899.27 - $520,640
NPV$69,086 = -116,740.73
Step 2: Calculation of the net present value of alternative that pays a single lump-sum payment of $1,633,990 at the end of the 12 years
We have to first calculate the present value using the present value formula as follows:
PV$1,633,990 = $1,633,990 / (1 + r)^n ............. (3)
Where;
PV$1,633,990 = present value of $1,633,990 = ?
r = Simple rate of return = 0.1327, or 13.27%
n = Number of years = 12
Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:
PV$1,633,990 = $1,633,990 / (1 + 0.1327)^12 = $366,328.40
The net present value can now be calculated as follows:
NPV$1,633,990 = PV$1,633,990 - Investment cost ............... (4)
Where;
NPV$1,633,990 = net present value of alternative that pays a single lump-sum payment of $1,633,990 at the end of the 12 years = ?
Substitute the values into equation (4) to have:
NPV$1,633,990 = PV$1,633,990 - Investment cost = $366,328.40 - $520,640 = -$154,311.60
Conclusion
Since the NPVs of the two alternative are negative, none of the alternative should be selected by Coronado Inc.
