Answer: $80 million per year for 25 years

Explanation:

The option you should choose is one that will guarantee you the highest present value.

This means that you need to discount the annual payment of $80 million per year for 25 years to find the present value. As you did not include a rate, we shall assume a rate of 8% for reference purposes.

The annual payment is an annuity so the present value can be calculated by:

Present value of annuity = Annuity payment * Present value interest factor, rate, no. of years

= 80,000,000 * Present value interest factor, 8%, 25 years

= 80,000,000 * 10.6748

= $‭853,984,000‬

<em>The present value of the annual payment is more than the present value of the $850 million received today so the Annual payment should be taken. </em>

Faughn Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for July:
creativ13 [48]

Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000

Explanation:

The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:

= 79,000 - 69,000

= $10,000

Manufacturing overhead is therefore underapplied as the amount applied is too low to cover the amount incurred.

The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:

= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead

= 243,000 + 10,000

= $253,000

Earned $16,200 of cash revenue. Borrowed $12,000 cash from the bank. Adjusted the accounting records to recognize accrued intere
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A. The amount of interest expense to record for 2018 is $320, calculated as follows: $12,000 x 8% x 4/12 = $320.

B. No amount of cash was paid for interest in 2018; i.e. = $0.00

C. Effect of each transaction on balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows:

1. Cash Revenue of $16,200

Balance Sheet - Cash and Retained Earnings are increased by $16,200.

Income Statement - Revenue is increased by $16,200.

Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $16,200.  It is an operating activity (OA)

2. Bank Note Payable of $12,000 with accrued interest of $320 for 2018:

Balance Sheet - Cash and Notes Payable are increased with $12,000; Interest on Notes Payable is increased by $320 and Retained Earnings decreased by $320.

Income Statement: Net Income is decreased by $320.

Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $12,000.  It is a financing activity (FA).

Explanation:

1. Cash revenue increases net income and Cash Account balance, and reflects positively on the cash flows for operating activities.

2. Notes Payable increases Cash Account balance (an asset) and Notes Payable (a liability).  It also increases the cash inflow for financing activities.

3. Accrued Interest on Notes Payable increases liability and decreases the net income, which reflects negatively on the Retained Earnings (Equity).  It does not affect the statement of cash flows as no disposal had been made yet.

A debtor owed a creditor $1,200 on a promissory note that was due on August 1. After the debtor told the creditor that he might
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The question is therefore completed before answering the question by providing the options as follows:

A. No, because the debtor incurred no additional detriment that would serve as consideration for the new agreement.

B. Yes, because it would have cost the creditor $1,200 to purchase the entertainment system himself.

C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

D. Yes, because the new agreement between the debtor and the creditor is enforceable with or without

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows.

It is possible to enforce the two parties' new agreement as an accord.

An accord can be described as an agreement in which one party to an existing contract agrees to accept some other, different performance from the other party in lieu of the performance that the other party is obligated to provide. In principle, an agreement must be backed by payment, but the consideration can be less than the amount agreed upon in the preceding contract if it is of a different character or the claim is to be paid to a third party. The responsibility of the debtor to supply the creditor with a new entertainment system was enough fresh consideration to constitute a legal agreement in this case.

When a party's responsibility is modified in some way, as the debtor's duty was in this case, the preceding legal duty rule does not apply. It makes no difference whether the creditor's benefit in the accord arrangement is equal to the original debt's worth; courts will find appropriate consideration if the consideration is fresh or different in any way. The difference in the debtor's obligation, that is, payment is in the form of an entertainment system rather than cash) is enough to sustain the accord arrangement, regardless of how much the entertainment system would have cost the creditor.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) does not apply because the original agreement was not for the sale of goods. The underlying commitment in this case was to pay a debt secured by a promissory note.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.
