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.

A potential investor is seeking to invest $500,000 in a venture, which currently has 1,000,000 million shares held by its founde
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a, 15%

b, 150,000

c, $ 3.30

d, = $3,333,333.33

e, $3,833,333.33

Explanation:

To solve this,

Note that we have been given a similar venture to compare to our venture.

The total shareholder's equity for the other venture (P) = $10,000,000 and the net income (E) = $1,000,000

Hence, Price/Earnings (P/E) for other venture = 10,000,000/1,000,000 = 10.0

Now for our venture, Earnings in the 5th year = $500,000

Assuming that P/E ratio for both the ventures to be equal, P/500,000 = 10.0

hence, total shareholder's value for our venture = $5,000,000 --------------- (1)

Now the investor invested $500,000 and expected 50% return after 5 years, hence the investor's value after 5 years would be equal to 500,000 * (1+50%) = $750,000 --------------- (2)

Now percent ownership of venture given to investor = (Value of investor's investment after 5 years/total value of all shareholders after 5 years)

Hence, divide (2) by (1)

percent ownership of venture given to investor = 750,000/5,000,000 = 0.15

or 15%

Therefore Answer to part 'a' is = 15%

Part (b) :For the percentage ownership given to new investor = 15%, total number of shares = 1,000,000

Hence, number of shares issued to new investor = 15% x 1,000,000 = 150,000

Hence, answer to part b = 150,000

Part (c): Amount invested by new investor = $500,000 and number of shares issued to him = 150,000

hence issue price of share = Amount invested / Number of shares issued

= 500,000/150,000 = $3.33

Hence, issue price per share = $3.33

Part (d):

The Pre money valuation is the value of the company before any external funding. In this case, the number of shares held with the founders before the new investor = 1,000,000 and the equity price = $3.33

hence, Value of the venture = 3.33 * 1,000,000 = $3,333,333.33

Hence, pre money valuation of the venture = $3,333,333.33

Part (e): Post money valuation of a company is the value of the company after external funding. In this case, investor invests $500,000 to the venture increasing the value of the company by the same amount.

Hence post money valuation = pre money valuation + Investment

= 3,333,333.33 + 500,000

= 3,833,333.33

Hence, post-money valuation of the venture = $3,833,333.33

Dave and Kelly are discussing how quickly products now become obsolete in their industry. David believes this will make it more
Paha777 [63]

Answer: Incorret

Explanation: This is incorrect because the more information we have about the market and the obsolescence time of our products, the better we will be able to coordinate the marketing strategy so that the time spent will be paid with greater profits in the future.

For example, appliances affected by competition or improvements become appliances that replace the previous ones if you do not evaluate the obsolescence time of these items, it is likely that when our product is launched, there is already a better one in the market.
