Your initial post should be approximately 250 words. To participate in follow up discussion, ask questions and post comments regarding classmates' posts or respond to follow-up questions posted by the instructor.

Answer:

I currently work for a company that provides services to other businesses (B2B), and we work on a yearly contract base. Since it's a B2B we don't have a lot of customers, they are only 11, but each customer is very important to us.

The sales process and contracts for the next year are usually finished by November and at that time we must prepare a cost budget. The main problem we are currently facing is that we use some imported goods and since many tariffs have been increasing, there is a lot of uncertainty about future prices.

When you import goods and use the FOB destination, the seller is responsible for delivering the goods up to a port of entry, but we are responsible for the paperwork and applicable tariffs. Since tariffs increase during a few months and then decrease, and then increase again depending on the president's mood, our budget has a large percentage of "just in case".

Besides that problem with imports, our company also signs yearly contracts with most of the employees depending on the number of contracts and workers needed. We are very good at estimating overhead expenses, since experience is a great teacher in our specific case.

If we didn't have the problem with uncontrollable external factors (tariffs), prior jobs help us to determine budgets that are usually quite exact, our variance (either + or -) is usually less than 3%.

An individual who makes $32,000 per year anticipates retiring in 30 years. If their salary is increased by $600 each year and th
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$366,287.15

Explanation:

Annual salary = $32000  

No. of years (n) = 30 years

Increment in salary = $600

Deposit rate = 10%

Interest rate (r) = 7% or 0.07

Growth rate (g) = Increment in salary \div annual salary

Growth rate = $600 \ $32000

Growth rate = 0.01875

First deposit = $32000 x 10% = $3200

Future worth = [First deposit \ (r - g)] x [(1 + r)n - (1 + g)n]

Future worth = [$3200 \ (0.07 - 0.01875)] x [(1 + 0.07)30 - (1 + 0.01875)30]

Future worth = [$3200 \ 0.05125] x [(1.07)30 - (1.01875)30]

Future worth = $62439.0243902 x [7.6122550423 - 1.7459373366]

Future worth = $62439.0243902 x 5.8663177057

Future worth = $366287.15

Hence, the future worth at retirement is $366,287.15

During the year a donor pledged $1,000,000 in funds to a not-for-profit private charter school. The school will receive the pled
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

D) It would not be recorded.

Explanation:

FASB means Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Financial Accounting Standards Board is a private, non-profit organization standard-setting body whose primary purpose is to establish and improve Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) within the United States in the public's interest. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) designated the FASB as the organization responsible for setting accounting standards for public companies in the US.

No matter what kind of restriction a donor might impose, FASB standards require nonprofits to report finances in a way that makes it clear which funds have donor restrictions and which funds come without donor restrictions. FASB standards are in three categories: “unrestricted,” “temporarily restricted,” and “permanently restricted.”

Unrestricted are those items that have no donor-imposed restrictions

Temporarily Restricted are those items that were received with a donor-imposed restriction that will be satisfied in the future (generally within one year)

Permanently restricted assets are funds of a nonprofit organization that must be used in designated ways and whose principal cannot be touched.

Since the school will recieve the pledge ONLY if it is able to raise $500,000 in funds over the next year, then the pledge would not be recorded
