Answer:

The double for the impairment  is given below

Dr Impairment loss expense(income statement) $3,328,000

Cr Accumulated depreciation                                                    $3,328,000

Explanation:

An asset is impaired if its carrying value(net book value) is higher than its recoverable  amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

First of all, identifying the figures above individually would be a good starting point to calculating the impairment on the equipment.

Carrying value is $8320000 (cost less accumulated depreciation to date)

Recoverable amount  under IAS 36 is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use

However,the calculation of impairment under U.S GAAP ,requires that the asset carrying amount is compared to fair value of the asset, as a result impairment is $3,328,000 ($8,320,000-$4,992,000)

Under IFRS the credit is posted directly to equipment account in the balance sheet

No entry is required to record the impairment of the asset at December 31, 2017.

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In this scenario, the fair value of the equipment is $4,992,000, which is less than its carrying amount of $8,320,000 ($9,360,000 - $1,040,000).

Since the fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss should be recognized. However, because the question states that Vaughn will continue to use the asset in the future, impairment accounting rules dictate that the impairment loss is not recognized as long as the asset is expected to generate sufficient future cash flows to recover its carrying amount. Therefore, no entry is required at December 31, 2017.

The interest revenue will Savor record in Year 1 on this lease at 9% is $347,697

Explanation:

Present value of Lease Payment = $4,561,300

Less: First Payment on Jan 1, 2018 = $698,000

Remaining Balance = $3,863,300

Interest Revenue for Year 1 at 9% = $3,863,300 × 9%

Interest Revenue for Year 1 at 9% = $347,697

For a merchandise worth $4,000, purchased on credit terms of 2/10, n/30, the buyer records the purchase by debiting Purchases and crediting Accounts Payable by $4,000. When payment is made within 10 days, the Accounts Payable is debited by $4,000 against a credit (decrease in cash) of $3,920 (net of discount) and a credit to Purchase Discounts for $80 (2% of $4,000).

Given the scenario, the buyer purchased $4,000 worth of merchandise and paid it fully within the discount period (10 days). This qualifies the buyer for a discount of 2% as per the credit term 2/10, n/30 which stands for a 2% discount if payment is made within 10 days, otherwise, the net payment is due within 30 days. The discount amounts to $80 ($4,000*2%).

The buyer needs to make two separate journal entries: one for the merchandise purchase and one for the payment. Here's how to record the journal entries:

Answer:

(1) 142.37;  2.56 days

(2) 9.93; 36.76 days

(3) 107.52; 3.39 days

Explanation:

(1) For WalCo,

Average accounts receivables:

= (Opening AR + Closing AR) ÷ 2

= ($1,735 + $2,682) ÷ 2

= 2,208.5

Receivables turnover ratio:

= Net Sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

= $314,427 ÷ 2,208.5

= 142.37

Average collection period:

= 365 ÷ Receivables turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 142.37

= 2.56 days

(2) For TarMart,

Average accounts receivables:

= (Opening AR + Closing AR) ÷ 2

= ($5,766 + $6,294) ÷ 2

= 6,030

Receivables turnover ratio:

= Net Sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

= $59,878 ÷ 6,030

= 9.93

Average collection period:

= 365 ÷ Receivables turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 9.93

= 36.76 days

(3)  For CostGet,

Average accounts receivables:

= (Opening AR + Closing AR) ÷ 2

= ($549 + $585) ÷ 2

= 567

Receivables turnover ratio:

= Net Sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

= $60,963 ÷ 567

= 107.52

Average collection period:

= 365 ÷ Receivables turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 107.52

= 3.39 days

Lake Sales needs a sales volume of at least $2,033,333.33 to yield an operating profit of $240,000. This calculation was reached by first identifying the company's fixed costs and then using this information along with the contribution margin ratio and desired operating profit to find the required sales volume.

The question first requires us to understand the definition of contribution margin ratio. It is defined as the profit per item or unit sold after variable costs are deducted from the sales price, shown as a percentage. In this case, the contribution margin ratio is 30% which means that 30% of each dollar in sales is contributing to cover the fixed costs and the remaining to profit.

Given that Lake Sales had operating profits of $180,000 on sales of $2,200,000, we can first find the fixed costs. Fixed costs can be calculated as sales - (sales * contribution margin ratio) - operating profits, which equates to $2,200,000 - (0.3 * $2,200,000) - $180,000 = $370,000.

Knowing this, we can calculate the sales volume required to reach a certain operating profit. The formula is Fixed costs + Desired operating profit / Contribution margin ratio, substituting gives us the required sales volume as ($370,000 + $240,000) / 0.3 = $2,033,333.33. Therefore, Lake Sales would need a sales volume of at least $2,033,333.33 to yield an operating profit of $240,000.

It depends on the proportion of the variable and fixed costs. We need more data such as the selling price and the exact variable and fixed costs n order to comment on this proposed idea.

Answer:

Total cost= $190,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total manufacturing costs are $170,000 when 20,000 packages are produced.

The total variable costs are $80,000 at 20,000 units.

First, we need to determine the unitary variable cost and total fixed costs.

Unitary variable cost= total variable cost/ number of units

Unitary variable cost= 80,000/20,000= $4 per unit

Total fixed costs= total cost - total variable cost

Total fixed costs= 170,000 - 80,000= $90,000

Now, we need to determine the total cost of 25,000 units.

Total cost= 90,000 + 4*25,000= $190,000

Answer and Explanation:

A. Price elasticity of demand

Price(P0) = $80 , Q0 = 20

Price(P1) = $100 , Q1 = 18

Price elasticity of demand =

Price elasticity of demand = 0.47

B. Price elasticity of supply

Price(P0) = $80 , Q0 = 16

Price(P1) = $100 , Q1 = 18

Price elasticity of supply =

[tex]\frac{\frac{Q1-Q0}{\frac{Q1+Q0}{2} } }{\frac{P1-P0}{\frac{P1+P0}{2} } } \\\\\frac{\frac{18-16}{\frac{18+16}{2} } }{\frac{100-80}{\frac{100+80}{2} } }\\\\\frac{\frac{2}{\frac{34}{2} } }{\frac{20}{\frac{180}{2} } }\\\\\frac{\frac{2}{17} }{\frac{20}{90} } }\\\\0.53[/tex]

Price elasticity of supply = 0.53

C. The point , where Demand and supply is equal called equilibrium price

So , $100 is equilibrium price.

D. if market price is less then equilibrium price , it is effective So, shortage (20-16) 4 units

a. The price elasticity of demand when the price is $80 is -0.4 and when the price is $100 is -0.08. b. The price elasticity of supply when the price is $80 and $100 is 0.5. c. The equilibrium price and quantity can be determined from the graph by identifying the point at which the demand and supply curves intersect, and from the table by finding the price where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.

a. To calculate the price elasticity of demand, we use the formula:

Elasticity of Demand = (% Change in Quantity Demanded) / (% Change in Price)

Using the given information, at a price of $80, the quantity demanded is 20 million and at a price of $100, the quantity demanded is 18 million. The % change in quantity demanded is -10% and the % change in price is 25%. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Elasticity of Demand ($80) = (-10%) / (25%) = -0.4

Elasticity of Demand ($100) = (-2%) / (25%) = -0.08

b. To calculate the price elasticity of supply, we use the same formula:

Elasticity of Supply = (% Change in Quantity Supplied) / (% Change in Price)

Using the given information, at a price of $80, the quantity supplied is 16 million and at a price of $100, the quantity supplied is 18 million. The % change in quantity supplied is 12.5% and the % change in price is 25%. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Elasticity of Supply ($80) = (12.5%) / (25%) = 0.5

Elasticity of Supply ($100) = (12.5%) / (25%) = 0.5

c. The equilibrium price and quantity can be determined from the graph by identifying the point at which the demand and supply curves intersect. This represents the point where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied, and thus the market is in equilibrium. From the table, we can determine the equilibrium price and quantity by finding the price where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.

d. To determine the quantities demanded and supplied at a price of $120, we can use the table. At a price of $120, the quantity demanded is 16 million and the quantity supplied is 20 million. Since the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplied, there will be a surplus. The size of the surplus is the difference between the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded, which is 20 - 16 = 4 million.

Cash provided by operating activities is $198,000

Explanation:

Net Income $196,000

Decrease in receivable will increase the cash as more customers have paid than the new credit given in the period.

Increase in prepaid expense will decrease the cash balance as there more cash paid in advance against expenses than before.

Increase in inventory will increase the inventory cost and cash is paid against these expenses. More inventory means more cash outflow.

Decrease in receivable will be added and Increase in Prepaid expenses and Inventory will be deducted from operating cash flow calculation.

Cash provided by operating activities = Net Income + accounts receivable decreased - prepaid expenses increased - inventories increased

Cash provided by operating activities = $196,000 + $90,000 - $38,000 - $50,000

Cash provided by operating activities = $198,000

[tex]C_{o} =20-14=6[/tex]

[tex]C_{u} =28-20=8[/tex]

Thus

[tex]CR=\frac{8 }{6+8 }[/tex]

                 [tex]=1045.0032[/tex]

                  ≈ [tex]1045[/tex]

Which is option b.

Using the Newsvendor model, Dan should order 1045 copies of the book to maximize expected profit.  thus the correct answer is b.

To determine the optimal number of copies Dan should order to maximize expected profit, we use the Newsvendor model. The critical ratio in this model helps in finding the order quantity that balances the cost of understocking and overstocking.

Step 1: Calculate the overstocking cost (Co) and understocking cost (Cu).

Step 2: Find the critical ratio (CR): CR = Cu / (Co + Cu) = $8 / ($6 + $8) = $8 / $14 = 0.5714

Step 3: Use the critical ratio to find the Z-score corresponding to 0.5714, which is approximately 0.19.

Step 4: Calculate the optimal order quantity (Q*) using the Z-score, mean, and standard deviation of the demand distribution:

Since we cannot order a fraction of a book, we'll round to the nearest whole number, 1048. However, the closest option given is 1045.

Therefore, Dan should order 1045 copies to maximize his expected profit.

Answer: The P/E multiple and EVA approach and their use to value common stock.

P/E multiple: The term used for price/earnings multiple reflects the market price of a stock as the times of earnings per share of that company. It determines the investor's willingness towards the current market price of the stock.

Economic value added(EVA): this approach is a measure to evaluate a company stock based on economic value, it has added at a specified time. It considers the opportunity cost of capital invested in the business and the next operating profit generated by the business.

Explanation: The P/E multiple is the basis to analyze the stock price with the earnings so that the appropriate value of a stock is estimated.

The P/E approach can be used as a starting point in stock valuation. If a stock's P/E ratio is well above its industry average and if the stock's growth potential and risk are similar to other firms in the industry, the stock's price may be too high. To estimate a ball-park value multiply the firm's EPS by the industry average P/E ratio.

An alternative approach is based on the concept of Economic Value Added (EVA). Remember, EVA = Equity(ROE - rs). Companies increase their EVA by investing in projects that provide shareholders with returns greater than the cost of capital. When you purchase a firm's stock, you receive more than just the book value of equity—you also receive a claim on all future value that is created by the firm's managers.

Final answer:

Common stock valuation involves methodologies like the Discounted Dividend Model, P/E Multiple, Enterprise Value, and EVA approaches, each considering different facets such as future earnings, industry standards, firm valuation, and profitability after capital costs.

Explanation:

Valuing common stocks involves different methodologies, such as the Discounted Dividend Model, the Price/Earnings (P/E) Multiple approach, the Enterprise Value approach, and the Economic Value Added (EVA) approach. To understand each:

Discounted Dividend Model: This method estimates the price of share today by calculating the discounted present value of the flow of dividend payments. If dividends are uncertain, you use the expected dividend and adjust the discount rate to include a risk premium according to the stock's riskiness and investors' risk aversion.

P/E Multiple Approach: This method values stock by multiplying the current earnings per share by the average P/E ratio for companies within the same industry. It reflects what investors are willing to pay today for a dollar of the company's earnings.

Enterprise Value Approach: This valuation technique considers the total value of the firm, including not only equity but also debt and minus cash. It represents the price to buy the whole business and is often used to assess takeover targets.

Economic Value Added (EVA): This approach measures a company's financial performance based on the residual wealth calculation by deducting the cost of capital from the company's operating profits, adjusted for taxes on a cash basis.

Each of these methods plays a crucial role in helping analysts and investors determine what they should be willing to pay for stock by considering factors like future earnings, industry standards, overall value of the firm, and financial performance after accounting for the cost of capital.

2017   $337,500 50%        $450,000      $112,500

2018   $135,000 20%        $180,000       $45,000    

Total   $675,000    100%      $900,000      $225,000

Cost % = Cost of particular year / Total cost

Revenue:

Year 2016 =$900,000 × 30% = $270,000

Year 2017 = $900,000 × 50% = $450,000

Year 2018 = $900,000 × 20% = $180,000.

Income:

= Revenue - Cost

 Year 2016 = $270,000 - $202,500

Year 2017 = $450,000  - $337,500

Year 2018 = $180,000 - $135,000

Final answer:

To calculate revenues, expenses, and income under the cost-to-cost method, we ascertain the percent completed each year to determine the respective revenue to be recognized. This percentage is applied to the total contract price, with the revenue minus the actual costs for each year providing the income.

Explanation:

To compute revenues, expenses, and income for Camden Corporation under the cost-to-cost method, we first add up all the actual costs to determine the percentage of completion each year and apply it to the total contract price. This way, we can figure out how much revenue to recognize each year.

Repeat these steps for the subsequent years:

For all three years combined:

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": willingness to supply a larger quantity than before at any given price.

Explanation:

As a result of an increase in productivity as a result of introducing new technology, a company will be able to supply more units to the market. The price will vary according to supply and demand flows and the investment needed for the introduction and maintenance of the new technology.

Increases in productivity can be caused by technological progress, capital investment or human capital development.

Answer:

Equity REITs

Explanation:

In an event of financial assets like when the stocks and bonds are not doing well, "hard" assets such as real estate and artwork tend to do better (since investors reallocate their investments away from financial assets into housing, etc.) A way that investors can participate in this is by investing in equity REITs. Since equity REITs own real estate, the share price movement of the REIT parallels the value of the real estate owned. Mortgage REITs invest in mortgages (essentially the same as investing in a bond) and thus are not the best choice when interest rates are low, since the yield is meager. And, if market interest rates rise, the value of the mortgages held drops. The same would be true for investments in mortgage bonds and Fannie Mae Pass-Through certificates.

Answer:

a) 0.97 b) 0.9991 c) 0.008518

Explanation:

a) for the computer to work all modules must work so the lowest probsabiltiy of any one of the modules will determine the reliability of the computer.

b) Probabiltiy that 1st computer works+ Probability that 1st computer fails × Probability that back-up works

= 0.97+ 0.97×0.03

=0.9991

c) Probabiltiy that 1st computer works+ Probability that 1st computer fails× Probability that switch works× Probability that back-up computer works

=0.97+0.03×0.98×0.97

=0.998518

The system's reliability is calculated by multiplying the reliabilities of each module in the system. The reliability of a backup computer is calculated by considering the likelihood of one or the other working. If a switch is included, its reliability is considered as a component in a series system with the backup computer.

This question pertains to system reliability. In essence, you are dealing with a series-parallel system. For a. the first step is to compute the reliability of the computer. To do this, simply multiply the reliabilities of each module together because for a system to be reliable, all the modules must work:

Reliability = 0.97 * 0.97 * 0.99 = 0.931129

For b. knowing that the backup system will step in if the first computer fails, the total system reliability is the probability that either the first computer works, or it doesn’t, but then the backup works. The reliability of either the primary or backup computer working is calculated by:

R = 1 - (1 - R_primary) * (1 - R_backup)

This is a simple equation derived from probability theory and we can plug in the computed reliability from part a.:

R = 1 - (1 - 0.931129) * (1 - 0.931129) = 0.996122

For c. if there's a switch to activate the backup, both the switch and the backup computer must function. This is another series system, so you'll multiply them together to get the overall reliability:

Overall reliability = 0.98 * 0.996122 = 0.97636
