Answer:

D. $20,000

Explanation:

Considering the cost elements of Atlanta

Fixed cost = $80,000

Variable cost per unit = $20

Where 20,000 units are produced (to meet annual demands)

Total cost = 80,000 + (20000 × 20)

                = 80,000 + 400,000

                = $480,000

Considering the cost elements of Phoenix

Fixed cost = $140,000

Variable cost per unit = $16

Where 20,000 units are produced (to meet annual demands)

Total cost = 140,000 + (20000 × 16)

                = 140,000 + 320,000

                = $460,000

Comparing the cost of production in the two locations, the cost advantage of the better location (Phoenix)

= 480,000 - 460,000

= $20,000

An investment offers $5,900 per year for 15 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now. If the required return is
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Today, the investment is worth $31,997.29

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

An investment offers $5,900 per year for 15 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now. The required return is 6 percent

First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual pay= 5,900

n= 15

i= 0.06

FV= {5,900*[(1.06^15)-1]} / 0.06= $137,328.22

Now, we can determine the present value:

PV= FV/ (1+i)^n

PV= 137,328.22/ 1.06^25= $31,997.29

Hillside issues $2,600,000 of 5%, 15-year bonds dated January 1, 2015, that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31
Amanda [17]

Answer:

1.- thwe cash payment are the same for each period as the coupon bond rate is fixed:

2,600,000 face value x 5% coupon rate / 2 payment per year = <em>65,000</em>

<em>On the last payment, we are going to calculate 65,000 + face value</em>

<em>2,600,000 + 65,000 = 2,665,000</em>

<em>2.- amortization per period 19,513</em>

<em>3.- interest expense per period 45,487</em>

<em>4.- 45,487 interest expense per period x 30 payment dates =  1,364,610</em>

cash    3,182,390  debit

   bonds payable   2,600,000 credit

   premium on BP     585,390 credit

-- to record issuance --

interest expense 45,487 debit

premium on BP    19,513 debit

    cash                                  65,000 credit

-- entry for each payment date--

Explanation:

proceeds: 3,182,390

face value: 2,600,000

premium:       585,390

amortization per period:

585,390 / 30 payment = 19,513

This will be the amortization on the premium on bonds payable for each payment

3.- as the amortization is fixed under straight-line method the interest expense is also fixed:

65,000 cash proceeds - 19,513 amortization = 45,487 interest expense

On August 2, Jun Co. receives a $8,000, 90-day, 11.0% note from customer Ryan Albany as payment on his $8,000 account receivable
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

August 2    Notes Receivable                   8000 Dr

                           Accounts Receivable- Ryan         8000 Cr

October 30  Interest receivable                  220 Dr

                          Interest Revenue                          220 Cr

October 31   Cash                                        8220 Dr

                            Notes Receivable                    8000 Cr

                            Interest Receivable                   220 Cr

Explanation:

When we receive the Note against the Accounts Receivable, we will credit the Accounts Receivable to close the account of Ryan and create a new current asset account of Notes Receivable on August 2.

On October 30, 90 days period of Note is complete so we will record the interest that is receivable for us on this note.

  • Interest Receivable = 8000 * 11% * 90/360  = $220

We record this as Interest Receivable as we have not received this and credit Interest revenue as it is our income.

On 31 October, when we receive cash it will be total of Notes payable and Interest so we will debit cash by 8220 and credit the Notes payable and interest receivable.
