On January 1, 2016, Elite Advertising was contracted to run a marketing campaign for Pharm King's new dieting pills. In addition

to getting a base fee of $150,000 for the 3-year campaign, Elite also may get an additional 5% of the base fee as a bonus if a targeted sales level is reached at the end of three years. Elite currently lacks sufficient information to make an estimate of the likelihood of the expected bonus, with the marketing director indicating that "If you forced me to make an estimate, I'd say we have a 50/50 chance. But don't quote me on that - it's really too early to tell." Elite concludes this contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time, and estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount. How much revenue should Elite recognize as of December 31, 2016? A. $50,000B. $51,250C. $52,500D. $57,500

Answer:

A. $50,000

Explanation:

150,000 for a 3 year compaing  = 50,000 per year

<u>The contract has just started </u>and the information available doesn't meet the criteria.

We must remember that <u>accounting has a principle of conservatism</u> regarding revenues. Accrue revenue without proper grounds is not correct. We should recognize the 1/3 of the base fee which is earned and matched the accounting cycle.

slava [35]

Answer:

Truman has a higher inventory turnover ratio and Stapleton has a higher gross profit ratio ( D )

Explanation:

Truman sell a large number of common household items ( assuming 100 unit )

while Stapleton sells a small number of expensive items ( assuming 20 units )

lets assume : Truman sells at $5 per unit and Stapleton sells at $50 per unit

with the above assumptions

Truman gross profit ratio = $5 * 100 units = $500

Stapleton gross profit ratio = $50 * 20 units = $1000

from the above assumptions you can deduce that the gross profit made by Stapleton is higher although he sells a smaller amount of goods while Truman has a higher Turnover because of its higher number of sold units

Real per capita GDP in Singapore in 1960 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1977. a. What was the average annual
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

4.16%

Explanation:

to calculate Singapore's economic growth rate we can use the future value formula (we could also use the rule of 72 but it is not very exact):

future value = present value x (1 + r) ⁿ

  • future value = 900
  • present value = 450
  • n = 17
  • r = ?

900 = 450 (1 + r)¹⁷

(1 + r)¹⁷ = 900 / 450 = 2

1 + r = ¹⁷√2 = 1.0416

r = 1.0416 - 1 = 0.0416 or 4.16%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Erick is planning to invest $500 at the end of year one, 800 at the end of year two, and 900 at the end of year three at 4.5 percent interest.

To calculate the total final value of the investment, we need to use the following formula for each deposit:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

Deposit 1= 500*1.045^2= 546.013

Deposit 2= 800*1.045= 836

Deposit 3= 900

Final value= $2,282.013
