Answer: $30,000
Explanation:
Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.
They sold 500,000 boxes
= 500,000 * 60%
= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.
So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;
= 300,000 - 220,000
= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in
4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;
= 80,000/4
= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.
Each bowl costs $2.50 to make. Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;
= 2.50 - 1
= $1.50
With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;
= 20,000 * 1.5
= $30,000
Answer:
Explanation:
Because land never depreciates, Western Bank & Trust wanted to distribute a higher percentage of the purchase price to the building, rather than the land. By allocating 90% of the purchase price to the building, rather than a more accurate 70%, Western Bank & Trust increases the depreciation amount of the building each year. For tax purposes, the IRS requires that the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) be used as the depreciation method used by companies. Under this method, the IRS specifies the useful life for a specific asset. MACRS also ignores residual value of an asset at the end of its useful life. By stating that the building was worth 90% of the total purchase price, Western Bank is attempting to increase its tax deduction from the IRS, because only the building depreciates, not the land. This improper allocation of the total purchase amount violates GAAP principles, which require that accounting information be “relevant and have faithful representation.” The information must be “complete, neutral, and free from error” (Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2014). For Western Bank to provide complete, neutral, and free from error information, it should record the transaction honestly: 70% to the building, 30% to the land. This dishonest representation is harmful to the federal government in that it is allowing Western Bank to take more money than what it is owed. If these kinds of situations happen on a large scale, it could have a huge impact on the economy in general. Source: Nobles, T., Mattison, B., & Matsumura, E. M. (2014).

Answer:
Explanation:
A. The journal entries are shown below:
On September 12
Investment A/c - Bengals Inc A/c Dr $598,220 (42,730 × $14)
To Cash A/c $598,220
(Being the acquired investment including brokerage commission is recorded)
On December 31
Unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities A/c Dr $85,460
To Valuation allowance for available-for-sale securities $85,460
(Being decline in share value is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
= 42,730 shares × ($14 per share - $12 per share)
= 42,730 shares × $2 per share
= $85,460
B. The unrealized gain or loss for available-for-sale investments is shown in the Stockholder equity section on the balance sheet. It is to be shown in the negative item in the equity section.

logistics cost factors are cost factors associated with logistics ( concerned with acquisition, storage and transportation ofresources) based on the kind of business or kind of products or services a company is into. From the above we see that logistics cost factors vary as the companies are into different products or services and industries and therefore face different logistics costs associated with their production and or delivery. Every company aims to achieve logistics efficiency through minimizing costs associated with their logistics costs factors example Hyundai with transportation logistics cost factors would aim to reduce it's logistics cost factors and maximise profits by its locating it's manufacturing plant close to where it imports parts for it's vehicle manufacturing so as to reduce cost of transporting vehicle parts to manufacturing plant
