On September 30, 2021, Athens Software began developing a software program to shield personal computers from malware and spyware

. Technological feasibility was established on February 28, 2022, and the program was available for release on April 30, 2022. Development costs were incurred as follows:
September 30 through December 31, 2021 $3,600,000
January 1 through February 28, 2022 1,500,000
March 1 through April 30, 2022 594,000

Athens expects a useful life of four years for the software and total revenues of $7,800,000 during that time. During 2022, revenue of $1,560,000 was recognized.

Answer:

2021

Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000

Cr Cash $3,600,000

2022

Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000

Dr Software and development costs 594, 000

Cr Cash 2,094,000

B. $148,500

Explanation:

1. Preparation of the journals entry

2021

Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000

Cr Cash $3,600,000

(To record the expenses incurred on research and development)

2022

Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000

Dr Software and development costs 594, 000

Cr Cash 2,094,000

(1,500,000+594,000)

(To record the software development costs incurred)

2.Calculatation for the amortization for 2022

Using percentage of revenues method

Amortization= Current revenue/Total revenue* Software development costs

Amortization=$1,560,000/$7, 800,000*$594,000

Amortization=0.2*$594,000

Amortization=$118,800

Using straight line method

Amortization =1/Useful life* Software devel opment costs

Amortization=1/4*$594,000

Amortization=$148,500

Based on the above calculation Tmte expense amounts under straight-line method is higher . Which means that , the amortization is $148,500.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In December 2016​, Ashton budgeted 2017 ​assembly-support costs to be $8,300,000 and 2017 direct​ labor-hours to be 166,000.

With this information, we can calculate the budgeted indirect cost rate. <u>However, we can't calculate the actual indirect cost rate. I will provide the formula for both and a small example of the actual indirect cost rate.</u>

To calculate the budgeted indirect cost rate, we need to use the following formula:

Budgeted indirect cost rate= total estimated indirect costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Budgeted indirect cost rate= 8,300,000/166,000= $50 per direct labor hour.

Let's suppose that actual indirect cost was of 8,000,000 and actual direct labor hours of 175,000:

Actual indirect cost rate= total actual indirect costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Actual indirect cost rate= 8,000,000/175,000= $45.71 per direct labor hour

A ___ in the money supply will cause interest rates to decrease which in turn causes spending to come ?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

decrease/decrease

Explanation:

The interest rate is a monetary mechanism that serves to keep inflation under control. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, caused by excess currency in circulation. Thus, the more money in circulation, the higher the interest rate tends to be. Conversely, when the money supply is smaller, inflation will be lower. Consequently, the interest rate will be low. Similarly, when the money supply is high, spending on the economy increases (and causes inflation). When the money supply is low, less money will be in circulation and spending will decrease. Inflation will be low. And the interest rate too!
