Len [333]

Answer: $351,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of inventory = $350,000

Selling price = $675,000

Beginning balance of inventory = $86,000

Beginning balance of accounts payable = $116,000

ending balance of inventory = $94,000

ending balance of accounts payable = $123,000

Cash paid to suppliers:

= Cost of Goods Sold + Change in inventory - Change in accounts payable

= 350,000 + (94,000-86,000) - (123,000-116,000)

= 350,000 + 8,000 - 7,000

= $351,000

On January 1, 2021, Essence Communications issued $800,000 of its 10-year, 8% bonds for $700,302. The bonds were priced to yield

aev [14]

Answer:

before decrease in rates: 706,483

after rate decrease: 751,360

interest expense 35,015.12

discount on BP 3,015.12

cash 32,000

--bonds first interest payment--

interest expense 35,165.87

discount on BP 3,165.87

cash 32,000

--second interest payment--

unrealized loss 44,877

discount on bonds payable 44,877

--to adjust bonds valuation--

Explanation:

First, we solve for the present value of the bond to get the proceeds from the issuance.

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

C 32,000

time 20

rate 0.05

$32000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-20} }{0.05} = PV\\$

PV $398,790.7310

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 800,000.00

time 20.00

rate 0.05

$\frac{800000}{(1 + 0.05)^{20} } = PV$

PV 301,511.59

PV c $398,790.7310

PV m $301,511.5863

Total $700,302.3173

Now, we do the table for the first year:

# / Principal/ paid / interest / Amort/End. P

1 700,302 32000 35015.12 3015.12 703,317

2 703,317 32000 35165.87 3165.87 706,483

Now, we have to redo the calculations for the bonds market value considering a decrease in the market rate to 9%

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

C 32,000

time 18

rate 0.045

$32000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.045)^{-18} }{0.045} = PV\\$

PV $389,119.7377

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 800,000.00

time 18.00

rate 0.045

$\frac{800000}{(1 + 0.045)^{18} } = PV$

PV 362,240.30

PV c $389,119.7377

PV m $362,240.2951

Total $751,360.0328

We adjust for: 751,360 - 706,483 = 44,877

This will be an unrealized loss as the liability increases but, will be realized on the redemption of the bonds or at the end of the bonds' life.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Cost Drivers

Explanation:

Abc generally causes the least amount of cost distortion among products because indirect costs are allocated to the products based on cost drivers.

Activity Based Costing does not apportion indirect costs but allocates them to products based on the level at which they drive those costs.

Cost driving is based on which activities or overheads are used by a product and by how much does it use (drive) those activities.
