satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Frost (Lessee) and Ananz (Lessor)

The circumstance that would require Frost to classify and account for the arrangement as a finance lease is:

c. The economic life of the computers is three years.

Explanation:

a) Data:

Annual lease payments = $8,000

Present value of the minimum lease payments = $13,000

Fair value of the computer = $14,000

The economic life of the computers = 3 years

The lease period = 2 years

b) One of the conditions for classifying the lease arrangement as a finance lease is that the lease term of 2 years forms a significant part of the asset's useful life of 3 years. Other conditions include:

Firstly, ownership of the asset is transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term. The second condition is that the lessee can purchase the asset below its fair value.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Van Frank Telecommunications

December 31, 2016:

Debit Amortization Expense - Patent $4,400,000

Credit Accumulated Amortization-Patent $4,400,000

To record the revised amortization expense for the year.

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Patent's value on January 1, 2012 = $19,800,000

Patent's assessed lifespan = 9 years

Amortization expense for each year on straight-line = $2,200,000 ($19,800,000/9)

Accumulated Amortization for Patent = $6,600,000 (for 3 years)

Net book value of patent = $13,200,000 ($19,800,000 - $6,600,000)

Revised lifespan = 6 years

Revised amortization expense per year = $4,400,000 ($13,200,000/3)

Which of the following is a fixed cost?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.

Explanation:

Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.

Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.

a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.

b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.

c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.

d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.

So, d is the correct choice.

I toss a penny and observe whether it lands heads up or tails up. Suppose the penny is fair, i.e., the probability of

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A) if I flip the coin many, many times, the proportion of heads will be approximately 1/2, and this proportion will tend to

get closer and closer to 1/2 as the number of tosses increases.

Explanation:

Probability is described as the likelihood of an event happening. It is expressed in numerical fractions between zero and one. Zero means near certainty that the event will not occur while one is a guarantee that the event is happening.

A probability of 1/2 signifies a 50 percent chance. In a coin toss, 1/2 probability means the coins have 50 chance of landing on either tail or head. A coin has only two sides. Each ill toss presents a head or tail. The more tosses one makes, the proposition of heads to tail get closer 1/2. Very many tosses will give show 1/2 to either tails or head.

A company issued 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $80 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is

natulia [17]

Answer:

n = 40

i = 3% (semiannual)

face value = $80 million

coupon payment = $2,000,000

market price:

PV of face value = $80 / (1 + 3%)⁴⁰ = $24.52 million

PC of coupon payments = $2 x 23.115 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 40 periods) = $46.23 million

market value = $70.75 million
