Archer Construction Company began work on a $420,000 construction contract in 2017. During 2017, Archer incurred costs of $278,0

00, billed its customer for $215,000, and collected $175,000. At December 31, 2017, the estimated additional costs to complete the project total $162,000. Prepare Archer's journal entry to record profit or loss, if any, using (a) the percentage-of-completion method and (b) the completed-contract method

Answer:

This a loss making contract of $33,000

Explanation:

Under I.A.S 11, The following steps are followed

<em>Step 1 - Determine Expected Outcome of the Contract </em>

Project Value - 420,000

Cost to date - (278,000)

Cost to complete - (175,000)

Outcome of Contract is Loss of $33,000

<em>Step 2 - Determine the amounts to be recognized in Income Statement for Profit, Revenue and Cost .</em>

Cost to date - 278,000

Contract Loss (33,000)

Revenue (Balancing Amount = $245,000

<u>Journal Entries</u>

Dr Cost expended to date - 278,000

Cr Revenue to date - 245,000

Cr Loss 33,000

b) Percentage Completion Method

Stage of Completion % = (Costs incurred to Date / Total Contract Costs )*100

278,000/453,000 = 61.36%

Revenue recognizable = 61.36% * Contract Value = 257,712

Cost to date =................................................................. = 278,000

Loss to Date (balancing figure)................................... = 20,288

<u>Journal Entries</u>

Dr Cost expended to date - 278,000

Cr Revenue to date - 257,712

Cr Loss 20,288

I think the best balance to be used would be a top-loading balance. Although, a platform triple beam balance and a single pan triple beam balance are accurate balances however they could not read up to the third decimal place which can be done in some of the top-loading balances.

A firm just paid a dividend of $6 per share. Next year the dividend is expected to grow 8 percent, thereafter 10 percent forever

lawyer [7]

Answer:

26%

Explanation:

MV=Do(1+g)/(Ke-g)

Where MV is market value=$36

Do is current dividend per share=$6

g is growth rate=8%

Ke=?

By putting above values we get;

36=6(1+.08)/(Ke-.08)

36Ke-2.88=6+.48

36Ke=2.88+6+.48

Ke=9.36/36

Ke=26%

Let x be per capita income in thousands of dollars. Let y be the number of medical doctors per 10,000 residents. Six small citie

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The percentage of variation esplained by the model is given by the determination coefficient, on this case:

$R^2 = 0.934^2 =0.872$

And we have 87.2% of the variation explained by the linear model given.

$\hat y = 5.756(8.5) -36.895=12.031$

And we have 12.031 doctors per 10000 residents.

Explanation:

Assuming the following dataset:

x y

8.6 9.6

9.3 18.5

10.1 20.9

8.0 10.2

8.3 11.4

8.7 13.1

Assuming this question: "The data has a correlation coefficient of r = 0.934. Calculate the regression line for this data. What percentage ofvariation is explained by the regression line? Predict the number of doctors per 10,000 residents in a town with a per capita income of $8500."

We want a linear model like this:

$y = mx +b$

Where m represent the slope and b the intercept for the linear model. And we cna find the slope and b with the following formulas:

$m = \frac{n \sum xy - \sum x \sum y}{n \sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2}$

$b = \frac{\sum y}{n} -m \frac{\sum x}{n}$

And from the dataset we have the following values:

$n= 6, \sum x =53, \sum y = 83.7 , \sum xy = 755.89, \sum x^2 = 471.04$

And replacing into the equation for m we got:

$m =\frac{6(755.89) - (53)(83.7)}{6(471.04) -(53)^2}=5.756$

And the intercept:

$b = \frac{83.7}{6}-36.895 5.756 \frac{53}{6}=-36.895$

And then the linear model is given by:

$\hat y = 5.756 x -36.895$

We can find the estimation replacing x = 8.5 into the linear model and we got:

$\hat y = 5.756(8.5) -36.895=12.031$

And we have 12.031 doctors per 10000 residents.

The percentage of variation esplained by the model is given by the determination coefficient, on this case:

$R^2 = 0.934^2 =0.872$

And we have 87.2% of the variation explained by the linear model given.
