Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the depletion rate is shown below:

= Acquired mineral rights ÷ estimated mineral deposit

= $93,000,000 ÷ 60,000,000 tons

= $1.55 per ton

b. The amount of depletion expense for the current year is

= Depletion rate × current year mined tons

= $1.55 per ton × 16,800,000 tons

= $26,040,000

c. And, the journal entry is

Depletion expense $26,040,000

        To Accumulated depletion  $26,040,000

(Being depletion expense is recorded)

For recording this entry we debited the depletion expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it decreased the value of the asset so the accumulated depletion is credited

Peter wishes to create a retirement fund from which he can draw when he retires and the same amount at each anniversary of his r
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$65,742.60

Explanation:

Note: The full question is <em>"Peter wishes to create a retirement fund from which he can draw $20,000 when he retires and the same amount at each anniversary of his retirement for 10 years. He plans to retire 20 years from now. What investment need he make today if he can get a return of 5% per year, com- pounded annually?"</em>

At first, we need to find the PV of withdrawals and there are 11 withdrawals starting 20 years from now.  

PV = PMT/r * 1 - 1/(1+r)^n. This formula gives the PV one period before the first withdrawal. That is 19 years from now because the first withdrawal is 20 years from now.

PMT = 20,000, n = 11,  

r = 0.05

PV19 = 20,000/0.05 * [1 - 1/(1+0.05)^11]

PV19 = 400,000 * 0.4153207109

PV19 = 166,128.28436

Now, we need to discount this back to toda

PV0 = PV19/(1 + r)^n; n = 19, r = 0.05

PV0 = 166,128.28436/(1 + 0.05)^1

PV0 = $65,742.6033421702

PV0 = $65,742.60

So, Peter needs to make $65,742.60 today.

Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. As a result of the shortage, price would rise until equilibrium is reached

Following are selected transactions Danica Company for 2014:
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Explanation:

Lees notes:

Dec. 13 Accepted a $9,500, 45-day, 8% note dated December 13 in granting Miranda Lee a time extension on her past-due account receivable.

First interest due = $9,500 x 8% x 45/360 = $95

On the 31st 18 days would have accrued of the 45days = 18/45 x $95 = $38

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Debit Miranda Lee with $9,538

Credit interest on Receivables $38

Credit Account receivables account with $9,500

When the full interest became due we will pass an additional entry:

Dr. Lee with $58

Cr. Interest on receivables with $58

(Being the balance interest on receivables due )

On Jan 27 when Lee paid her interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Account receivables with $9,500

Debit interest on receivables Account with $95

Credit Tomas account with $9,595

( being liquidation of Lee's indebtedness)

Tomas notes:

Mar 3, Accepted a $5,000, 10%, 90-day note dated March 3 in granting a time extension on the past-due account receivable of Tomas Company.

Let's recognize the full interest due first:

$5,000 x 10% x 90/360 = $125

At this time we will:

Debit Tomas with $5,125

Credit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Account Receivables account with $5,000

On June 1 when Tomas paid his interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Accounts receivable with $5,000

Debit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Tomas account with $5,125

( being liquidation of Tomas indebtedness)

Hiroshi Cheng notes:

Accepted a $2,000, 30-day, 9% note dated March 17 in granting Hiroshi Cheng a time extension on his past-due account receivable.

Interest = $2,000 x 9% x 30/360 = $15

The entries recognizing this liability will be to :

Debit Cheng Account with $2,015

Credit interest on receivables with $15

Credit Accounts receivable with $2,000

(Being receivables payable balance and interest on balance owed by Cheng)

However Cheng failed in paying up. It was decided to write off the debt.

The entries would be:

Dr. Accounts receivables $2,000

Dr. Interest on Accounts receivables with $15

Cr. Cheng's Account with $2,015

(Being debt owed by Cheng written off)
