Answer:

1) If the Fed sells $2 million of government bonds, the economy’s reserves Decrease by $2 million, and the money supply will Decrease by $16 million.

2) The money multiplier will remain unchanged. True

3) As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged. True

Explanation:

1.) We have the reserve requirement for checking deposits as 12.5% with banks not holding any excess reserves.

To calculate Money Multiplier:

Money Multiplier = \frac{1}{required reserved ratio} = \frac{1}{0.125} = 8

If the Fed sells $2 million of bonds, reserves will decrease by $2 million and the money supply will decrease by 8 x $2 million = $16 million.

2) and 3) Now the Fed lowers the reserve requirement to 10 percent, but banks choose to hold another 2.5 percent of deposits as excess reserves.

To calculate Money Multiplier:

Money Multiplier = \frac{1}{required reserved ratio} = \frac{1}{0.1+0.025} = 8

Money multiplier is 8 same as in 1) Therefore the statements: "The money multiplier will remain unchanged" and "As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged" are both True.

Kirov, Inc. reports credit sales of $200,000 for the year ending December 31. The year-end unadjusted balance of its Allowance f
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is: $12,000

Explanation:

uncollectible debt = 6% of net sales

= 6/100 × 200,000

= 0.06 × 200,000 = $12,000

Therefore, $12,000 will be removed (debited) from the bad debt expense because it is uncollectible, and it is added (credited) to the Allowance for Doubtful accounts as bad debt to be paid for in the bad debt reserve account.

Some recent financial statements for Smolira Golf Corp. follow. SMOLIRA GOLF CORP. 2017 and 2018 Balance Sheets Assets Liabiliti
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the requirements are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

a. Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

2017 = $62,976 / $50,555 = 1.25

2018 =  $67,600 / $57,000  = 1.19

b. Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities

2017 = ($62,976 - $26,042) / $50,555 = 0.73

2018 = ($67,600 - $27,500) / $57,000  = 0.70

c. Cash ratio = cash / current liabilities

2017 =  $24,086 / $50,555 = 0.48

2018 = $24,500 / $57,000 = 0.43

d. Total asset turnover = sales / average total assets

2018 = $373,473 / [($391,671 + $430,000) / 2] = 0.91

e. Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory

2018 = $254,500 / [($26,042 + $27,500) / 2] = 9.51

f. Receivables turnover = sales / average accounts receivable

2018 = $373,473 / [($12,848 + $15,600) / 2] = 26.26

g. Profit margin = net profit /  total sales

2018 = $54,319 / $373,473 = 14.54%

h. Return on assets = net income / average total assets

2018 = $54,319 / [($391,671 + $430,000) / 2] = 13.22%

i. Return on equity = net income / average equity

2018 = $54,319 / [($281,116+ $311,435) / 2] = 18.33%

Answer:

Using Traditional allocation method

Allocation rate per unit

=<u> Budgeted overhead</u>

  Budgeted direct labour hours

Brass

Overhead allocation rate

= <u>$47,500</u>

  700 hours

=  $67.86 per direct labour hour

Gold

= <u>$47,500</u>

   1,200 hours

=  $39.58 per direct labour hour

Allocation rate for material cost pool                                                                                                                                                  

= <u>$12,500</u>

   400

=  $31.25 per material moved

Gold

Allocation rate for material cost pool

= <u>$12,500</u>

   100    

= $125 per material moved

Brass

Allocation rate for machine set-up pool

= <u>$35,000</u>

  400

= $87.50

Gold

Allocation rate for machine set-up pool

Explanation:

Using traditional allocation method, the overheads for material cost pool and machine set-up pool will be added. The overhead allocation rate per unit is the division of total overhead by the direct labour hours for each product.        

Using activity-based costing, the material cost pool overhead  will be divided by the material moved for each product in order to obtain allocation rate for each product.                                                                                                                                                                

The allocation rate for machine set-up pool is obtained by dividing the machine set-up overhead by the number of machine set-up for each              product.
