Answer:
Here we need to find the length of an annuity. We know the interest rate, the PV, and the payments. Using the PVA equation:
PVA =C({1 – [1/(1 +r)t]} /r)
$14,500 = $500{[1 – (1/1.0155)t] / 0.0155}
Now we solve for t:
1/1.0155t = 1 − {[($14,500)/($500)](0.0155)}
1/1.0155t= 0.5505
1.0155t= 1/(0.5505) = 1.817
t = ln 1.817 / ln 1.0155 = 38.83 months
<u>Account will be paid off in 38.83 months.</u>

Explanation:
The necessary closing entries from the available information at December 31 will be calculated thus:
1. Dec 31
Dr Services Revenue $13000
Cr Income Summary $13000
2. Dec 31
Dr Income Summary $10000
Cr Wages expense $8400
Cr Rent expense $1600
3. Dec 31
Dr Income Summary = $13000 - $10000 = $3000
Cr D. Mai, Capital $3000
4. Dec 31
Dr D. Mai, Capital $800
Cr D. Mai, Withdrawals $800
Answer:
$20,880
Explanation:
Under the direct method we ignore services that are provided to the other service departments.
In order to allocate the building operation costs to Operating department A, we need to determine what percentage of the building space taken up by Operating departments is used by Operation Department A.
There is a total of 50000 square feet and Operating Department A occupies 60%(30000/50000 of that.
So Operating Department A will get 60% of the building costs
i.e., 60% × 34800 = 20,880
Answer:
B) $23,000.
Explanation:
ABC's accumulated net income (or retained earnings) over the past four years = $8,000 + $5,000 + $12,000 + $10,000 = $35,000
ABC's accumulated dividends paid over the past four years = $3,000 x 4 = $12,000
Since dividends are paid using money that proceeds from retained earnings, the balance of the retained earnings account = accumulated retained earnings - accumulated dividends = $35,000 - $12,000 = $23,000
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Estimated fixed cost = $288,000
Estimated variable cost = $14 per unit
Units expects to produce and sell = 60,000
Selling price = $20 per unit
We first need to calculate the contribution margin:
Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= $20 - $14
= $6
The break even point in units is the ratio of fixed cost to the contribution margin per unit.
Break-even point in units:
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $288,000 ÷ $6
= 48,000 units
