Your broker requires an initial margin of $878 per futures contract on wheat and a maintenance margin of $650 per contract. Whea

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

b. Call for $1,500

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We can calculate the amount of margin call by using following formula:-

Loss of today = future contracts based total bushels × total contract × (settlement cost per bushels - future contract price per bushels)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × (390 cents - 385 cents)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × 5 cents

= 150,000 cents

And we know that

100 cents = 1 dollar

so,

150,000 cents ÷ 100 =$1,500

Initial margin $878 per future contract and maintenance margin $650 per contract, Margins of both are less than loss .So we have to pay $1,500 in initial margin.

According to the analysis, we will receive $1,500 margin call.

Therefore option (B) call for $1,500 is correct.

The following December 31, 2021, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stonebridge Corporation:

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

1. $132,600

2. $7,700

3. $25,600

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine Total current assets

First step is to calculate the Current liabilities using this formula

Current liabilities = salaries payable + accounts playable + accrued interest

Let plug in the formula

Current liabilities= 19000 + 58000 + 1000

Current liabilities= 78000

Now let calculate the Total current assets using this formula

Total current assets = current ratio * current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Total current assets = 1.7* 78000

Total current assets = $132,600

Therefore Total current assets is $132,600

2. Calculation to determine Short-term investments

Using this formula

Short term investments = Current assets - [cash + accounts receivables + inventory]

Let plug in the formula

Short term investments = 132,600 - [6900 + 39,000 + 79,000]

Short term investments = $7,700

Therefore Short term investments will be $7,700

3. Calculation to determine the Retained earnings

Using this formula

Current assets + fixed assets = Current liabilities + Long term liabilities + paid in capital + retained earnings

Let plug in the

132,600 + 215,000 = 78,000 + 49,000 + 195,000 + Retained earnings

347,600 = 322,000 + retained earnings

Retained earnings = 347,600 - 322,000

Retained earnings = $25,600

Therefore Retained earnings will be $25,600

Credit : Finished Goods $55,000

Required 3

Debit : Overheads $4,000

Credit : Cost of Sales $4,000

Explanation :

Hi, I have attached the full question as a pdf below

Manufacturing Costs Calculations :

Job 101 = $19,200 + $28,800 + ($420,000/60,000 x1,000) = $55,000

Job 102 = $14,400 + $11,200 + ($420,000/60,000 x4,000) = $53,600

Closing Overheads :

Actual Overheads = $45,000

Applied Overheads = $420,000/60,000 x 7,000 hours = $49,000

Therefore,

Overheads are over-applied ( by $4,000) and must be deducted from cost of sales

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a. $(3,881)

Explanation:

Gain on sale of fixed assets is an income. To be included in the operating section of the cash flow statement, we need to deduct the gain. The disposal of the fixed assets will go to the investing section. As the gain of the sale of assets is already added to the net income in the income statement, it will be deducted to make the accounting procedure transparent. Therefore, option A is correct.
