Jay Coleman just graduated. He plans to work for five years and then leave for the Australian "Outback" country. He figures that

he can save $3,500 a year for the first three years and $5,000 a year for the next two years. These savings will start one year from now. In addition, his family gave him a $2,500 graduation gift. If he puts the gift, and the future savings when they start, into an account that pays 7.75% compounded annually, what will his financial "stake" be when he leaves for Australia five years from now? Round off to the nearest $1. 1. $36,082 2. $30,003 3. $27,178 4. $24,725

Answer:

The answer is 3. $27,178.

Explanation:

You have to calculate for each year a new principal to be compounded.

Therefore the formula for next period's principal will be:

P_{n}=P_{n-1}*(1+r)+D

Where

P_{n} is the principal for next period,

P_{n-1} is the principal for this period,

r is the interest rate,

D are the deposits made into the savings account at the end of the period. (therefore it will only compound in next period).

The first year the principal will be the graduation gift:

P_{1}=2500*(1.0775)+3500=6193.75

At the end of the second year Jay will have:

P_{2}=6193.75*(1.0775)+3500=10173.77

The third year:

P_{3}=10173.77*(1.0775)+3500=14462.23

The fourth year the amount being deposited changes from $3,500 to $5,000:

P_{4}=14462.23*(1.0775)+5000=20583.05

The fifth year is the last year:

P_{5}=20583.05*(1.0775)+5000=27178.24

The result is rounded to $27,178.

Selected information from Peridot Corporation's accounting records and financial statements for 2021 is as follows ($ in million
guapka [62]

Answer:

$43 million

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

Peridot's Net cash outflows from investing activities (in millions)

= -$38 + $96 + $71 - $86

= $43

The gain from the disposal of land will be deducted from the net income under the cash flows from operating activities while the requisition of own shares is a financing activity.

A company factored $40,000 of its accounts receivable and was charged a 3% factoring fee. The journal entry to record this trans
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Correct answer is B, Debit cash $38,800, debit factoring fee expense $1,200 and a credit of Accounts receivable of $40,000

Explanation:

Factoring is one way to raise fund for immediate use of the company. It is a way to sell accounts receivable of the company. The above-mentioned problem is to sell accounts receivable (factored) with the corresponding factoring fee of 3% and that is $1,200 (40,000 x 3%). In effect of this fee, the company will receive cash less than the amount of its accounts receivable sold. The company will record the inflow of cash at $38,800 (40,000 - 3%) and will also recognize an expense incurred during the factoring in the amount of $1,200 and finally will credit the sold accounts receivable in the amount of $40,000.

Lelechka [254]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For the cash paid

= Opening balance of account payable + total purchase - ending balance

= $169,000 + $298,000 - $141,000

= $326,000

b. The sale amount on account should be equivalent to the ending balance of account receivable i.e. $106,000

c. The beginning cash balance is

Closing cash balance = beginning cash balance + cash receipts - cash disbursements

$27,100 = Beginning cash balance + $119,500 - $120,150

So, the beginning cash balance is $27,750
