Answer:
A. $450
Explanation:
In 2014, the Medicare surtax for high-income taxpayers started when married couples filing jointly earned over $250,000. in this case, Christine and Doug made $300,000, so the surtax = ($300,000 - $250,000) x 0.9% = $450
The Medicare surtax income threshold has not been adjusted to inflation and remains at the same level for 2020.
Total medicare contributions for high income taxpayers = 1.45% + 0.9% = 2.35%
Describe how the IRR is calculated, and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash fl ows. What is the IRR criterion decision rule?
Answer:
The Internal Rate of Return is the discount rate that discounts a series of cashflows such that the Net Present Value becomes zero.
It is calculated in the same way the NPV is calculated which is to subtract the discounted cash outflows from the discounted cash inflows but this time it will be the subject of the equation which will be equated to zero.
Formula therefore is;
[tex]\frac{Cf_{1} }{(1 + IRR_{1} )} + \frac{Cf_{2}}{(1 + IRR_{2} )^{2} } + \frac{Cf_{n} }{(1 + IRR_{n} )^{n} } - Cf_{0} = 0[/tex]
Excel worksheets, financial calculators and solving the equation can all be used to find IRR.
The higher the IRR, the better for a project because it means that the project has high cash inflows that would take a higher rate to discount to zero.
The decision rule is the pick a project that has a higher IRR than the firm's Required rate of return because it means that the NPV will be more than zero.
If a check correctly written and paid by the bank for $635 is incorrectly recorded on the company's books for $653, the appropriate treatment on the bank reconciliation would be to:_______
a. add $45 to the book's balance.
b. deduct $549 from the book's balance.
c. subtract $45 from the book's balance.
d. deduct $45 from the bank's balance.
Answer:
a. add $45 to the book's balance
Explanation:
In a situation where a check which was correctly written and as well paid by the bank for the amount of $638 was incorrectly recorded as the amount of $683 on the company's books which means that the appropriate treatment on the bank reconciliation statement would be to add the amount of $45 ( $683-$638) to the book's balance.
A private not-for-profit entity is working to create a cure for a disease. The charity starts the year with one asset, cash of $700,000. Net assets without donor restrictions are $400,000. Net assets with donor restrictions are $300,000. Of the restricted net assets, $160,000 is to be held and used to buy equipment, $40,000 is to be used for salaries, and the remaining $100,000 must be held permanently. The permanently held amount must be invested with 70 percent of any subsequent income used to cover advertising for fundraising purposes. The rest of the income is unrestricted.
During the current year, this health care entity has the following transactions:
1. Receives unrestricted cash gifts of $210,000.
2. Pays salaries of $80,000, with $20,000 of that amount coming from purpose-restricted donated funds. Of the total salaries, 40 percent is for administrative personnel. The remainder is divided evenly among individuals working on research to cure the disease and individuals employed for fundraising purposes.
3. Buys equipment for $300,000 by signing a long-term note for $250,000 and using restricted funds for the remainder. Of this equipment, 80 percent is used in research. The remainder is split evenly between administrative activities and fundraising. The donor of the restricted funds made no stipulation about the reporting of the equipment purchase.
4. Collects membership dues of $30,000 in cash. Members receive a reasonable amount of value in exchange for these dues including a monthly newsletter that describes research activities. By the end of the year, 112/112 of this money had been earned.
5. Receives $10,000 in cash from a donor. The money must be conveyed to a separate charity doing work on a related disease.
6. Receives investment income of $13,000 from the permanently restricted net assets.
Pays $2,000 for advertising. The money comes from the income earned in (f).
Receives an unrestricted pledge of $100,000 that will be collected in three years. The entity expects to collect the entire amount. The pledge has a present value of $78,000. Related interest (considered contribution revenue) of $5,000 is earned prior to the end of the year.
7. Computes depreciation on the equipment bought in (c) as $20,000.
8. Spends $93,000 on research supplies that are used up during the year.
9. Owes salaries of $5,000 at the end of the year. None of this amount will be paid from restricted net assets. Half of the salaries are for individuals doing fundraising, and half for individuals doing research.
10. Receives a donated painting that qualifies as a museum piece being added to the entity’s collection of art work that is being preserved and displayed to the public. The entity has a policy that the proceeds from any sold piece will be used to buy replacement art. Officials do not want to record this gift if possible..
A. Prepare a statement of financial position for this not-for-profit entity for the end of the current year.
B. Prepare a statement of activities for this not-for-profit entity for this year.

Over the past 100 years, the rate of return on stocks has averaged about _____, and the return on bonds has averaged approximately _____.A. â10%; 5%B. 7%; 2%C. 1%; 2%D. 20%; 25%
Answer: B. 7%; 2%
Explanation:
0ver the past 100 years, stocks have showed a positive average return of 7% whilst bonds have shown a return of 2%. This makes sense because stocks generally offer higher returns than bonds which are fixed.
Stocks react to a variety of factors including interest rates and market fluctuations which makes them more risky whereas bonds which are fixed income securities are more stable in their returns making them less of a risk.
Stocks therefore offer a higher return to compensate for this risk as opposed to bonds.

Kim hired Gold Contracting to build a pool and a fancy gazebo in her backyard. The plans were complex and required expert workmanship. After the work was completed, Kim was so pleased that she promised to pay Gold an additional $3,500 performance bonus. Later, when Gold demanded the bonus, Kim refused to pay it. If Gold sues Kim for the money, what will probably happen?
A. Gold will win, because the bonus was adequate consideration and served to entice Gold to do an outstanding job.
B. Kim will win, because the bonus is a reward for work they have already performed, which is past consideration and cannot be used to create a contract.
C. Gold will win, because the bonus is for work they have already performed.
D. Kim will win, because the bonus agreement was not in writing.
Answer:
B. Kim will win, because the bonus is a reward for work they have already performed, which is past consideration and cannot be used to create a contract.
Explanation:
In order for a contract to be enforceable, consideration must be exchanged between both parties. In this case, Kim made a promise that included consideration ($3,500) but Gold didn't exchange of give anything back. The swimming pool is already finished and it represents another different contract.
Another example would be a boss telling a subordinate that he/she will receive a bonus for having worked 10 years in the firm. The employee already got paid for working the 10 years, so there is no actual exchange of new consideration.
Pillar Company owns 70 percent of Salt Company's outstanding common stock. On December 31, 20x8, Salt sold equipment to Pillar at a price in excess of Salt's carrying amount but less than its original cost. On a consolidated balance sheet at December 31,20x8, the carrying amount of the equipment should be reported at:_______________ A) Pillar's original cost. B) Salt's original cost. C) Pillar's original cost less Salt's recorded gain. D) Pillar's original cost less 70 percent of Salt's recorded gain.
Answer:
C. Pillar's original cost less Salt's recorded gain
Explanation:
For physical assets, that is in the form of machineries or computer hardware or in this case, equipment, we can calculate the carrying cost to be the original cost minus accumulated depreciation.
in answer to this question, the carrying amount of the equipment should be reported at Pillar's original cost less Salt's recorded gain.

Expando, Inc., is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to their product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $9 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $9 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $12 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $10 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $12 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $15 million. In either case, the probability of demand being high is 0.40, and the probability of it being low is 0.60. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because the current factories cannot produce these new products.
a. Calculate the NPV for the following: (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place.)
Plans NPV
Small facility $ million
Do nothing million
Large facility million
b. The best decision to help Expando is:_______.
a. to build the large facility.
b. to build the small facility.
c. to do nothing.
Answer:
a)
small facility:
initial outlay = -$9,000,000
present value of expected cash flows = (0.6 x $9,000,000) + (0.4 x $12,000,000) = $10,200,000
NPV = $10,200,000 - $9,000,000 = $1,200,000
large facility:
initial outlay = -$10,000,000
present value of expected cash flows = (0.6 x $12,000,000) + (0.4 x $15,000,000) = $13,200,000
NPV = $13,200,000 - $10,000,000 = $3,200,000
b) the best option is:
a. to build the large facility.the NPV of the large facility is significantly higher than the NPV of the smaller facility, while the required investment is not that different.

At the end of the month, Jobs 243 and 247 were sent to customers; jobs 245, 247, and 248 were completed and sent to finished goods. What is the cost of goods manufactured for the month
Answer:
$10,850
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of goods manufactured for the month
Based on the information given we were told that At the end of the month both Jobs 243 and 247 were sent to customers which means that the cost of goods manufactured for the month will be calculated as :
Cost of Job 243 $5,750
Cost of Job 247 $5,100
Cost of goods sold for the month $10,850
($5,750+5,100)
Therefore the the cost of goods manufactured for the month will be $10,850
Dissatisfaction with public school education has led many parents to try home schooling for their children. If parents reduce their work from a full-time to a part-time load in order to spend time teaching their children at home, how will this affect GDP?
a. Real GDP will increase and nominal GDP will decrease a
b. Both real and nominal GDP will increase.
c. GDP will stay the same
d. GDP will decrease.
Answer:
d. GDP will decrease.
Explanation:
GDP: In economics, the term "GDP" is also referred to as "Gross domestic product", and is described as the standard measure of the value being added and is created via the production of services and goods in a particular country during a specific period. Along with this, GDP also measures the income received or earned by those production in the country, or the total amount that is being spent on the final services and goods.
In the question above, the correct answer is option-d.
The debt-to-equity ratios for Firm 1, Firm 2, Firm 3, and Firm 4 are 0.2, 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, respectively. The earnings per share for Firm 1, Firm 2, Firm 3, and Firm 4 are $4, $3, $2.5, and $2, respectively. Everything else equal, which firm is placing more burdens on its borrowing?A. Firm 1.B. Firm 2.C. Firm 3.D. Firm 4.
Answer:
D. Firm 4.
Explanation:
To determine this, the debt-to-equity ratio is the relevant measure to use.
The debt-to-equity ratio can be described as a ratio that compares the total debt of company to its total equity.
The debt-to-equity ratio tells us the percentage of the financing of the firm that is obtained from borrowing from creditors and investors.
The debt-to-equity ratio is a ratio that gives an idea of the extent of burden that the company places on its borrowing and the ability of the company to repay its debt in future.
When a company has the highest debt-to-equity ratio compared to other companies, it implies that more financing of the company comes from creditors and bank loans than from the shareholders of the company.
From the question, Firm 4 has the highest debt-to-equity ratio which 0.4. Based on the explanation above, it therefore implies that Firm 4 is placing more burdens on its borrowing.
The time value of moneyConsider the following scenarios:Simon FamilyThe Simons have saved $5,000 towards their goal to have $45,000 for a down payment on a house in 6 years. They will put the $5,000 in an account along with money they will deposit annually. They donât know how much that annual deposit should be, so theyâve asked you to calculate it. They have found a savings institution that will pay 6% interest.Perkette FamilyThe Perkettes have set a goal to have $45,000 for a down payment on a house in 6 years. They have not saved anything so far. They have asked you to calculate how much they will need to put away each year to achieve their $45,000 down-payment goal. They have found a savings institution that will pay 6% interest.Use the scenarios along with the following factor table data. Note that the complete Future Value and Future Value Annuity tables (as well as the Present Value and Present Value Annuity tables) are located in the appendix in your text.Table of Future Value Factors:Interest RateYear 5% 6% 8%1 1.050 1.060 1.0802 1.102 1.120 1.1663 1.158 1.190 1.2604 1.216 1.260 1.3605 1.276 1.340 1.4696 1.340 1.420 1.5878 1.477 1.590 1.85110 1.629 1.790 2.159Table of Future Value Annuity Factors:Interest RateYear 5% 6% 8%1 1.000 1.000 1.0002 2.050 2.060 2.0803 3.152 3.180 3.2464 4.310 4.380 4.5065 5.526 5.630 5.8676 6.802 6.970 7.3368 9.549 9.890 10.63710 12.578 13.180 14.4871. What is the amount of money the Simons will need to deposit annually (rounded to the nearest two decimal places) to achieve their down-payment goal?2. What is the amount of money the Perkettes will need to deposit annually (rounded to the nearest two decimal places) to achieve their down-payment goal?
Answer:
annual payment = $5,496.25
Explanation:
the $5,000 that they deposit today will be worth $5,000 x (1 + 6%)⁶ = $6,691.13 in 6 years.
this means that they need to save an extra $45,000 - $6,691.13 = $38,308.87
we can calculate the amount that they need to deposit at the end of every year to have $38,308.87 in 6 years by using the future value of an annuity formula:
FV = payment x annuity factor
payment = FV / annuity factor
FV = $38,308.87 FV annuity factor, 6%, 6 periods = 6.970annual payment = $38,308.87 / 6.97 = $5,496.25

On February 1, Tory began a service proprietorship with an initial cash investment of $2,000. The proprietorship provided $5,000 of services in February and received full payment in March. The proprietorship incurred expenses of $3,000 in February, which were paid in April. During March, Tory drew $1,000 against the capital account. In the proprietorship's financial statements for the two months ended March 31, prepared under the cash basis method of accounting, what amount should be reported as capital
The amount that should be reported as the capital is $6,000
Calculation of the capital amount:The following formula should be used.
= Initial cash investment + Investments made + Income received - Drawings
= $2,000 + $0 + $5,000 - $1,000
= $6,000
As per the cash basis accounting method, the cash revenues is more than the cash expenses so the same should be considered as an income
Hence, the amount reported as capital is $6,000.

On July 1, 2020, Sweet Inc. made two sales.
1. It sold land having a fair value of $909,890 in exchange for a 4-year zero-interest-bearing promissory note in the face amount of $1,431,725. The land is carried on Sweet's books at a cost of $594,900.
2. It rendered services in exchange for a 3%, 8-year promissory note having a face value of $409,660 (interest payable annually).
Sweet Inc. recently had to pay 8% interest for money that it borrowed from British National Bank. The customers in these two transactions have credit ratings that require them to borrow money at 12% interest.
Required:
Record the two journal entries that should be recorded by Sweet Inc. for the sales transactions above that took place on July 1, 2020.
Answer:
1.
DR Note Receivable $1,431,725
CR Land $594,900
Gain on Disposal of land $314,990
Discount on Notes Receivable $521,835
Working
Gain on disposal = 909,890 - 594,900 = $314,990
Discount on Notes receivable = 1,431,725 - 909,890 = $521,835
2.
First find present value of the 8-year promissory note;
= 409,660 / ( 1 + 12%)⁸
= $165,454.80
Annual payment of 3% = 3% * 409,660 = $12,289.80
Paid every year for 8 years, the present value at 12% is;
= 12,289.80 * Present value interest factor for annuity, 12%, 8 years
= 12,289.80 * 4.9676
= $61,050.81
Present value of the note (revenue for services rendered) = 61,050.81 + 165,454.80 = $226,505.61
Discount on note receivable = 409,660 - 226,505.61 = $183,154.39
DR Notes Receivable $409,660
CR Service Revenue $226,505.61
Discount on Notes Receivable $$183,154.39
You get a $3,000 loan at 9% interest for 120 days. The lender uses a 365-day year. How
much will you owe on the maturity date?
Answer:
$3,088.80
Explanation:
Note that the loan is meant for 120days , however, the interest rate quoted is on an annual basis, hence, the interest for 120 days is 2.96% ( 9%*120/365).
It is equally important to note that at maturity the loan principal and the interest accrued thus far for 120 days are repayable to the lender as computed below:
total repayment=$3000+($3000*2.96% )
total repayment=$3000+$88.80
total repayment=$3,088.80
Omega Enterprises budgeted the following sales in units:
January 40,000
February 30,000
March 50,000
Omega's policy is to have 30% of the following month's sales in inventory. On January 1, inventory equaled 8,000 units. February production in units is:_________
a, 20,000.
b. 26,500.
c. 40,000.
d. 36,000.
e. 28,000
Answer:
d. 36,000
Explanation:
Given the following data,
Units;
February = 30,000
March = 50,000
In order to calculate February production in units, the sales for the month and the required ending inventory will be added together and then deduct the beginning inventory.
February Production in units ;
Sales for the month = 30,000
Ending inventory = [50,000 × 0.3] = 15,000
Beginning inventory = [30,000 × 0.3] = [9,000]
Total = 36,000 units.

How should Tina go about raising that money? Due to the amount of capital she is looking to raise, will Tina be subject to any other special requirements?
Answer:
Throughout this circumstance, the financing approach may be used by Tina Technology through fundraising as well as demand protection from either the SEC.
Explanation:
The following were all those requirements:
The Crowdfunding framework encourages eligible organizations to deliver as well as sell entrepreneurship security.
The principles mandate all transactions together underneath the Crowdfunding Legislation to take place online by an SEC-registered representative, whether through a distributor provider or via a fundraising access.Control the amount that individual financial professionals will impose on certain cryptocurrency donations over a term of one year. For even the most portion, insurance purchased through a crowdfunding marketplace will not be traded once per season. General guide Crowdfunding donations rely on exclusion structures for "troublemakers".A series of monthly cash flows is deposited into an account that earns 12% nominal interest compounded monthly. Each monthly deposit is equal to $2,100. The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015. The account also has equivalent quarterly withdrawals from it. The first quarterly withdrawal is equal to $5,000 and occurred on October 1, 2008. The last $5,000 withdrawal will occur on January 1, 2015. How much remains in the account after the last withdrawal?
Answer:
The amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945
Explanation:
The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015 = 80 deposit
Monthly deposit = 2,100
Interest rate = 12% / 1% per month
Firstly, we calculate the future worth of the monthly deposit
FW = A(F/A, i, n)
A = 2,100, i = 1%, n= 80
FW = $2100*[(1+0.01)^80 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*[2.216715 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*(121.671)
FW = $255,509.10
We calculate the effective interest rate
i(effective) = (1 + i nominal monthly interest rate)^n - 1
i `%, n = 3(no of months in quarter)
i (effective) = (1+0.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = (1.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = 1.030301 - 1
i (effective) = 0.030301
i (effective) = 3.0301%
The effective quarterly interest rate is 3.0301%
We calculate the future worth of the quarterly drawings
FW = A[(1+i)^n - 1 / i]
A = 5,000(drawing), i = 3.0301%, n = 26(number of drawings)
FW = 5,000*[(1+0.030301)^26 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*[2.17303717 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*(38.71282)
FW = $193,564.10
The future worth of the quarterly withdrawal is $193,564.10
We calculate the amount left in the account after last withdrawal
Amount left in account = FW(monthly deposits) - FW(quarterly drawings)
Amount left in account = $255,509.10 - $193,564.10
Amount left in account = $61,945
Thus, the amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945

Sperry Company had beginning inventory of $80,000, purchased merchandise during the period for $140,000, and had ending inventory of $95,000. How much was goods available for sale? A. $175.000 B. $155,000 C. $315,000 D. $125,000 E. None of these
Answer:
cost of goods available for sale= $220,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory of $80,000
Purchased merchandise for $140,000
To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods available for sale= beginning inventory + purchase
cost of goods available for sale= 80,000 + 140,000
cost of goods available for sale= $220,000
North Dakota Electric Company estimates its demand trend line (in millions of kilowatt hours) to be:
D = 80.0 + 0.45Q,
where Q refers to the sequential quarter number and Q = 1 for winter of Year 1. In addition, the multiplicative seasonal factors are as follows:
Quarter Factor (Index)
Winter 0.72
Spring 1.25
Summer 1.40
Fall 0.63
In year 26 (quarters 101-104), the energy use for each of the quarters beginning with winter is (round your response to one decimal place):_______
Answer:
90.3 ; 157.4 ; 176.9 ; 79.9
Explanation:
Given that:
Estimated demand trend line (in millions of kilowatt hour) for North Dakota Electricity company is :
D = 80.0 + 0.45Q,
Q = quarter number
Quarter Factor (Index)
Winter 0.72
Spring 1.25
Summer 1.40
Fall 0.63
In year 26 (quarters 101-104):
Energy use (E) for each quarter = (Demand * quarter factor)
Winter ; Q = 101
E = [80.0 + 0.45(101)] * 0.72 = 90.3
E = [80.0 + 0.45(102)] * 1.25 = 157.4
E = [80.0 + 0.45(103)] * 1.40 = 176.9
E = [80.0 + 0.45(104)] * 0.63 = 79.9
The next dividend payment by Skippy, Inc., will be $2.95 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.8%, forever. If the stock currently sells for $53.10 per share, what is the required return?
Answer:
r = 0.103555 or 10.3555% rounded off to 10.36%
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return or cost of equityPlugging in the values for D0, P0 and g in the formula, we can calculate r to be,
53.1 = 2.95 / (r - 0.048)
53.1 * (r - 0.048) = 2.95
53.1r - 2.5488 = 2.95
53.1r = 2.95+ 2.5488
r = 5.4988 / 53.1
r = 0.103555 or 10.3555% rounded off to 10.36%

Watts Corporation made a very large arithmetical error in the preparation of its year-end point in the calculation of financial statements by improper placement of a decimal depreciation. The error caused the net income to be reported at almost double the proper amount. Correction of the error when discovered in the next year should be treated as:____________. a. an increase in depreciation expense for the year in which the error is discovered b. a component of income for the year in which the error is discovered, but separately listed on the income statement and fully explained in a note to the financial statements. c. a change in accounting principle for the year in which the error was made. d. a prior period adjustment.
Answer:
d. a prior period adjustment.
Explanation:
Correction of the error when discovered in the next year should be treated as a prior period adjustment. This is basically because the error was already recorded in the past financial report. Since these reports are final and cannot be changed, then the correction to this error needs to be implemented in the next year's financial report and would reflect on that year's income taxes. The process of doing this is known in accounting as a prior period adjustment
