Answer:

Accounting revenue = $7,500,000

Tax revenue = $5,000,000

Explanation:

Contribution margin is net of Sales price and variable cost per unit.

Break-even is the level of sales at which the business have no profit no loss. At this point business only covers the the variable and fixed cost.

Average contribution = (Revenue from Accounting x Contribution of accounting services ) + (Revenue from Tax x Contribution of Tax services )

Average contribution = (60% x 30%) + (40% x 40%) = 18% + 16% = 34%

Revenue at break-even = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

Revenue at break-even = $4,250,000 / 34% = $12,500,000

Accounting revenue = $12,500,000 x 60% = 7,500,000

Tax revenue = $12,500,000 x 40% = 5,000,000

Cory Manciagli is planning to retire in 20 years. Money can be deposited at 6% compounded quarterly. What quarterly deposit must

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

It will require quarterly deposits of $ 171.06

Explanation:

first we need to calcualte the present value of the retirement funds

and then, we will calcualte the PTM to achieve it.

1) present value of 40,000 semiannually over 10 years descounted at 6% cuarterly

$PTM \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

PTM 40,000 dollars

time 20 810 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.12 (0.06 x 2)

$40000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.12)^{-20} }{0.12} = PV\\$

PV $298,777.75

Now, we calcualte which PTM generate this amount over the course of 20 years

$PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\$

PV $298,777.74

time 80 (20 years x 4 quarter per year)

rate 0.06

$298777.75 \div \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-80} }{0.06} = C\\$

C $ 171.063

The following section is taken from Carla Vista's balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Current liabilities Interest payable $ 50,

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(a) Journalize the payment of the bond interest on January 1, 2022.

Since no accrued interest has been recorded, we must journalize the interest expense.

Dr Interest expense - bonds payable 60,000

Cr Cash 60,000

If the interest expense had been accrued by December 31 (like question C), then the journal entry should have been:

Dr Interest payable- bonds payable 60,000

Cr Cash 60,000

(b) Assume that on January 1, 2022, after paying interest, Carla Vista calls bonds having a face value of $195,000. The call price is 109. Record the redemption of the bonds.

Dr Bonds payable 195,000

Dr Call premium expense 17,550

Cr Cash 212,550

(c) Prepare the adjusting entry on December 31, 2022, to accrue the interest on the remaining bonds.

Dr Interest expense 40,500

Cr Interest payable - bonds payable 40,500

A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.10 per unit and variable selling and administrative expen

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Value of the ending inventory is $ 16,340

Explanation:

<em>The variable costing method is also known as the </em><em>marginal costing method,</em><em> under this method production units and inventories are valued using the variable cost per unit.</em>

Variable cost per unit = D. Material cost+ Direct labour cost + Variable Overhead

To value the closing inventory of the company, we follow the steps below:

Step 1

<em>Calculate the variable cost per unit</em>

= $13.10 + $4.10 = $17.2

Step 2

<em>Calculate the closing inventory</em>

Closing inventory = Opening Inventory + purchases - Sales

= 0 + 5,100 -4,150 = 950 units

Step 3

<em>Value the closing inventory</em>

= VC/unit × units

= $17.2 × 950

= $ 16,340

Value of the ending inventory is $ 16,340
