Answer:

i. Discounted cashflow equations.

a.  $180,000 at the end of five years.

This is a lump sum present value/ discounted cashflow which can be calculated as;

Formula = 180,000 / ( 1 + r)^n

= 180,000/ ( 1 + 12%)^5

= $102,136.83

b. $11,400 a year forever

This is a perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow of a perpetuity is calculated as;

Formula = Amount/rate

= 11,400/12%

= $95,000

c. $19,000 for each of 10 years.

This is an annuity. The formula for calculating the Present value/ discounted cashflow of an annuity is;

Formula = Annuity * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + i)^{-n} )}{i} ] where <em>i </em>is interest rate and <em>n</em> is number of periods

= 19,000 * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-10} )}{0.12} ]

= $107,354.24

d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever.

This is a growing perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow formula is;

= Amount / ( discount rate - growth rate)

= 6,500 / ( 12% - 5%)

= $92,857.14

ii. Choose <u>$19,000 for each of 10 years</u> as it has the highest present value.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The economic system that is used in the United States of America in which most of the businesses are owned by the people instead of the government is a mixed economy.

The keyword in this statement is "most" because not all businesses in the United States are owned by the people, some are government owned; the mixture of this ownership in an economy is what defines that economy as a "mixed economy."

Bunnell Corporation is a manufacturer that uses job-order costing. On January 1, the company’s inventory balances were as follow
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.

DR Selling and Administrative Salaries               $240,000

      Manufacturing Overhead                                $150,000

      Work in Process                                                $600,000

CR Wages Payable                                                                      $990,000

4.

Manufacturing Overhead Applied

= 41,000 hours * 16.25

= $666,250

5. Total Manufacturing cost to be added = Raw Materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead

= 480,000 + 600,000 + 666,250

= $1,746,250

6.

DR Finished Goods                                             $1,680,000

CR Work in Process                                                                $1,680,000

7.

Ending Balance = Beginning balance + Raw materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing Overhead - Cost transferred to Finished goods

= 18,000 + 480,000 + 666,250 + 84,250 - 1,680,000

= $84,250

9. Predetermined overhead cost - Actual cost = 666,250 - 650,000 = $16,250.

<u>Overapplied</u> as predetermined cost was more than Actual.

12. Finished goods = Beginning balance + Cost transferred from WIP - Cost of goods sold

= 35,000 + 1,680,000 - 1,690,000

= $25,000

13.

Adjusted Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods sold - Overapplied

= 1,690,000 - 16,250

= $1,673,750

14. Gross Margin = Sales - Adjusted COGS

= 2,800,000 - 1,673,750

= $1,126,350

15. Net Operating Income

= Gross Margin - Selling and Administrative salaries - Selling and Administrative expenses

= 1,126,350 - 240,000 - 367,000

= $519,250

On average, how much money is expected to be spent per person for halloween this year?.
valina [46]

This Halloween, it's anticipated that each person would spend, on average, $100.45.

Halloween, which is observed annually on October 31st, is also known as All Saints Eve or All Hollow's Eve because it was historically observed to signal the end of the harvest season and the start of the chilly, harsh winters. The night before the new year, according to the Celts, the line between the worlds of the living and the dead fuzzed. Samhain, when Halloween was thought that the spirits of the dead made a comeback to earth, was celebrated on the evening of October 31. The term "spend" is the verb's present-basic form. Second, despite referring to the past tense and past participle of the verb "spend," the term "spent" can also be employed as a verb or an adjective. To disburse cash for the sake of a person, thing, or cause is called spend.

After writing off a $300 account balance for Ballman Company using the allowance method, Ballman Company sends in the payment. T
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The journal entry is shown below:

Explanation:

The journal entry for writing off the amount through using the Allowance Method is as:

Allowance for Bad debts A/c.............................Dr   $300

             Accounts Receivable A/c...........................Cr   $300

While writing off the amount of bad debt, the allowance for bad debts account is debited against the accounts receivable account.

The journal entry which is to be recorded for reversing the write off through using the Allowance Method:

Accounts Receivable A/c...........................Dr   $300

     Allowance for Bad debts A/c......................Cr   $300

So, for reversing the original entry would be reversed, which means the accounts receivable account is debited as the payment is received and the bad debts got decrease, which means the allowance for Bad debts is credited.
