Answer:
85,500
Explanation:
Calculation for the total contribution margin
First step is to find the Contribution Margin Per Unit
Contribution Margin Per Unit = 83,600 /4,400 Contribution Margin Per Unit= 19 Per units
Second step is to calculate for Contribution Margin at 4,500 Units
Contribution Margin at 4,500 Units
= 19*4,500
Contribution Margin at 4,500 Units = 85,500
Therefore the total contribution margin is closest to 85,500
Dom has $90,000 that he wishes to invest now in order to use the accumulation for purchasing a retirement annuity in five years. After consulting with his financial advisor, he has been offered four types of fixed-income investments, labeled as investments A, B, C, and D.
Investments A and B are available at the beginning of each of the next five years (call them years 1–5). Each dollar invested in A at the beginning of a year returns $1.20 (a profit of $0.20) two years later, in time for immediate reinvestment. Each dollar invested in B at the beginning of a year returns $1.36 three years later.
Investments C and D will each be available just once in the future. Each dollar invested in C at the beginning of year 2 returns $1.66 at the end of year 5. Each dollar invested in D at the beginning of year 5 returns $1.12 at the end of year 5.
Your uncle is obligated to make a balloon payment on an existing loan in the amount of $24,000 at the end of year 3. He wants to make that payment out of the investment account.
1) Devise an investment plan for your uncle that maximizes the value of the investment account at the end of five years. How much money will be available for the annuity in five years?
2) Show the network diagram corresponding to the solution in (1). That is, label each of the arcs in the solution and verify that the flows are consistent with the given information.
Answer:
First of all, you must invest enough money in B in order to pay your debt.
present value = future value / expected return
present value = $24,000 / $1.36 = $17,647.06
you have $90,000 - $17,647.06 = $72,352.94 to invest in A.
at the end of year 2, you will have:
future value = present value x expected return = $72,352.94 x $1.20 = $86,823.53
then you should invest that money ($86,823.53) in invested D and at the end of year 4 you will have:
future value = $86,823.53 x $1.66 = $144,127.06
finally, you should invest $144,127.06 in investment E and at the end of ear 5 you will have:
future value = $144,127.06 x $1.12 = $161,422.31
2) it is really hard to draw a diagram without drawing tools, but i will try
⇒ invest $17,647.06 in B ⇒ year 3, collect $24,000
from B and pay off debt
today

Daryl Kirby opened Squid Realty Co. on January 1, 2015. At the end of the first year, the business needed additional capital. On behalf of Squid Realty Co., Daryl applied to Ocean National Bank for a loan of $375,000. Based on Squid Realty Co.'s financial statements, which had been prepared on a cash basis, the Ocean National Bank loan officer rejected loan as too risky. After receiving the rejecting notice, Daryl instructed his accountant to prepare the financial statement on an accrual basis. These statements included $65,000 in accounts receivable and $85,000 in accounts payable. Daryl then instructed his accountant to record an additional $30,000 of accounts receivable for commissions on property for which a contract had been signed on December 28, 2015. The title to the property is to transfer on January 5, 2016, when an attorney formally records the transfer of the property to the buyer. Daryl then applied for a $375,000 loan from Free Spirit Bank, using the revised financial statements. On this application, Daryl indicated that he had not previously been rejected for credit.
Required:
Discuss the ethical and professional conduct of Daryl Kirby in applying for the loan from Free Spirit Bank.
Answer:
There are issues with Revenue recognition, Accrual basis of accounting and Cash basis of accounting.
Explanation:
The ethical issues are important to handle with care in business. The accountant has used accrual basis accounting technique in order to apply for a loan. The revised financial statements are prepared with accrual concept so that the company is successful in procuring loan. The revenue should be recognized when performance obligation is completed and the required services are rendered. The accrual concept states that the transaction should be recorded when it occurs regardless when the cash is actually received. Daryl has been involved in unethical practice as he has instructed his accountant to prepare revised financial statements to portray that the company's performance is good. It is an intention to deceive bank in order to procure loan.
Mirr, Inc. was incorporated on January 1, year 1, with proceeds from the issuance of $750,000 in stock and borrowed funds of $110,000. During the first year of operations, revenues from sales and consulting amounted to $82,000, and operating costs and expenses totaled $64,000. On December 15, Mirr declared a $3,000 cash dividend, payable to stockholders on January 15, year 2. No additional activities affected owners' equity in year 1. Mirr's liabilities increased to $120,000 by December 31, year 1. On Mirr's December 31, year 1 balance sheet, total assets should be reported at:_______
Answer:
$885,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the total assets should be reported
Using this formula
TOTAL ASSETS =Total of liabilities + Total stockholders' equity
Initial equity $750,000
Income $18,000
($82,000-$64,000)
Dividends ($3,000)
12/31 Total stockholders' equity $765,000
Add Liabilities of $120,000
Total ASSETS $885,000
Therefore On Mirr's December 31, year 1 balance sheet, total assets should be reported at $885,000
Regency Inn leased a rental office in the lobby of its hotel to Americar, a car rental agency. Wagner rented a car from Americar, and while walking through the hotel parking lot to reach her rental car, she was robbed and raped. Wagner sued Regency Inn for damages, alleging that they maintained a public nuisance. A clause in the lease held that Americar was responsible to indemnify Regency Inn for any damages suffered due to the operation of the car rental agency. At the time of the assault on Wagner, Americar was a holdover tenant.
Can Regency Inn claim indemnification under these conditions? Wagner v. Regency Inn Corp., 463 N.W.2d 450 (1990).
Answer:
The court ruled against both Americar and Regency Inn, and then Regency Inn won its case against Americar. The nuisance case itself is pretty unpleasant, so it's not worth referring to it.
The fundamentals for the ruling against Americar were that they themselves had drafted the lease agreement and that the clause included in the lease agreement by which they agreed to indemnify Regency Inn was valid. The original lease term had already expired, but Americar continued to lease the offices on a monthly basis. Since they never left the place, the clauses in the original agreement were still valid even though the lease changed to a monthly basis. I.e. if you sign a lease contract and after the original contract is over, you continue to lease the same place, then the clauses from the original contract still apply.
The clause stated that Americar was liable for damages that took place on the leased premises or in their proximity, i.e. the area near their offices. The parking lot was considered to be in the proximity of Americar's offices.
Del Gato Clinic's cash account shows a $11,589 debit balance and its bank statement shows $10,555 on deposit at the close of business on June 30. Outstanding checks as of June 30 total $1,829. The June 30 bank statement lists a $16 bank service charge. Check No. 919, listed with the canceled checks, was correctly drawn for $467 in payment of a utility bill on June 15. Del Gato Clinic mistakenly recorded it with a debit to Utilities Expense and a credit to Cash in the amount of $476. The June 30 cash receipts of $2,856 were placed in the bank's night depository after banking hours and were not recorded on the June 30 bank statement.

Deferred tax liability $ 355,000 $ 463,000 The income statement reported tax expense for Year 2 in the amount of $580,000. Required: 1. What was the amount of income taxes payable for Year 2
Answer: $472,000
Explanation:
Deferred Tax Liability arises as a result of the different accounting methods used by Companies and by the Government for taxation.
Deferred tax liabilities are taxes that are owed to the Government due to the company using the Accrual system but as the Government uses the Cash basis, they have not yet recognised this tax.
The Tax Payable in Year 2 is;
= Reported Tax Expense - increase in Deferred Tax liability
= 580,000 - (463,000 - 355,000)
= $472,000

If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is
Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented
Explanation:
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.
An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.
This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.

Question 6 of 10
Which economic tool would most likely be used as part of a contractionary
monetary policy?
A. Lowering interest on reserves
B. Reducing the discount rate
C. Raising the reserve requirement
D. Buying treasury securities
Answer:
C. Raising the reserve requirement
Explanation:
Contractionary monetary policy refers to the Fed's action of reducing money supply in the economy. Reducing the money supply slows down the economy, thereby countering expansion and inflationary pressures. Raising the reserve requirement is one tool that the Fed uses as a contractionary monetary policy.
Reserve requirements refer to the percentage of customer deposits that the Fed requires commercial banks to maintain at all times. An increase in reserve requirement decreases the money available for banks to lend out. Reduced lending means a decrease in the money supply, which results in a decline in the inflation rate.
On August 20th, one of your employees comes to you with a vacation request. The employee’s available vacation time expires on September 1st, however she wants to take her vacation between September 20th through the 25th.
She asks you to submit her vacation request to the corporate office for the week prior to September 1st, and wants you to not schedule her for the days between the 20th and 25th, and she wants her "vacation" pay for those days.
Would you do it? Why? or Why Not?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Her vacation is expired and therefore invalid. Also she is requesting for a pay during this period which counters Amy form of sympathy for this employee. However, depending on the relationship the employee has with her employer, there might be a compromise especially if the employee really does need the vacation as she may be burned out or may have postponed vacation till expiration for the interest of the company

Current liabilities 357,000
Current ratio = 999,600/357,000
= 2.8
b. Earnings per share
= (Net income - Preference dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding
2017
Net income. 166,830
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 201,000
Earnings per share = $166,830/201,000
= $0.83
2016 Earnings per share

When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:
Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.
Explanation:
The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.
This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.
In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Answer:
a. Taxable income = $80,000
b. Taxable income = $77,600
c. Taxable income = $80,600
Explanation:
Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.
The requirements are therefore answered as follows:
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.
The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.
In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:
Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.
For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.
Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.

Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument
Answer:

We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.
In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.
Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.
If bad debt expense for the year was $40,000, what was the amount of bad debts written off during the year?
Answer:
$32,000

You are considering four hotels that differ from each other with respect to their price and customer reviews:
Answer: H4
Explanation:
Looking at the reviews given per price, a conclusion can be made that the higher the price of staying in the hotel, the higher the ratings given which would imply that the hotels charging higher, have better amenities.
This does not hold for H4 however as they are charging more than H1 but still getting the same reviews as them.
This could either mean that H1 is efficient enough to be getting the same rating for the same price as H4 or that H4 is inefficient such that they are not utilizing their amenities enough to get a higher rating than H1 who they should be better than.
Either scenario point to inefficiency on H4's part.
