Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the evaluation of change in the cost of materials between the two month is given below;
The Cost per unit in September is
= 76,000 ÷ 800
= $95 per unit
And,
Cost per unit in October = $77,350 ÷ 850
= $91 per unit
Now
Cost per unit of materials has been decreased in October by $4 per unit or instead of is by
= (4 ÷ 95 × 100)
= 4.21% .

The process for converting present values into future values is called________________.
Answer:
Compounding.
Explanation:
Compounding is typically an accounting process used for the conversion of present values of an asset, investment or money into future values.
Generally, a compound interest is calculated based on the interest rate on a loan, principal and the accumulated interest gained from previous periods. This interests is compounded for a certain number of times such as daily, weekly, quarterly or annually.
Mathematically, to find the future value from the present value of an asset or investment, we would use the compound interest formula;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where;
A is the future value. P is the principal or starting amount. r is annual interest rate. n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year. t is the number of years for the compound interest.The discount rate is the interest rate banks charge their best customers. the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. the interest rate the U.S. Treasury pays on Treasury Bills. the interest rate the Fed charges to banks for loans from the Fed.

Crossfade Corp. has a bond with a par value of $2,000 that sells for $1,956.84. The bond has a coupon rate of 6.84 percent and matures in 24 years. If the bond makes semiannual coupon payments, what is the YTM of the bond
Answer:
Semestral rate= 3.51%
Annual rate= 7.02%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Par value= $2,000
Present value= $1,956.84
Coupon= (0.0684/2)*2,000= $68.4
Number of periods= 24*2= 48 semesters
To calculate the YTM, we need to use a financial calculator:
Function= CMPD
n= 48
I%= SOLVE = 3.51%
PV= 1,956.84
PMT= -68.4
FV= -2,000
Semestral rate= 3.51%
Annual rate= 3.51*2= 7.02%
Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of the following claims, indicate whether Huprey should (a) record a liability, (b) disclose in notes, or (c) have no disclosure.
Answer:
Record a liability.Disclose in notes.Have no disclosure.Explanation:
A contingent liability should only be recorded if the likelihood of it happening is known and the value can reasonably be estimated.
In the first scenario, it is likely that Huprey will lose so the likelihood is known. The value can also be reasonably estimated to be $1,070,000 so this should be recorded as a liability.
In the second scenario, the likelihood is known but the value cannot be estimated. In such a case, simply disclose this possibility in the notes of the financial statement.
For the third scenario, the possibility of the liability being incurred is remote so there is no need to either record or disclose the liability.
Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4% and IR 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.4 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 14%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 7%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
15.4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine your best guess for the rate of return on the stock
The revised estimate on the rate of return on
the stock would be:
Before
14% = α +[4%*1] + [6%*0.4]
α = 14% - 6.4%
α = 7.6%
With the changes:
7.6% + [5%*1] + [7%*0.4]
= 7.6% + 5% + 2.8%
= 15.4%
Therefore your best guess for the rate of return on the stock will be 15.4%

Sales revenue received in cash is entered by:________ a. debiting Cash and crediting Sales Revenue. b. debiting Cash and crediting Accounts Payable. c. debiting Sales Revenue and crediting Cash. d. debiting Accounts Payable and crediting Cash.
Answer:
a. debiting Cash and crediting Sales Revenue.
Explanation:
Double entry system of accounting requires posting of two legs for every transaction. That is the debit and credit legs.
Asset and expense accounts increase by debitting their balance while revenue accounts increase through credit.
When sales revenue is received as cash there is an increase in cash (an asset) and an increase in sales revenue too (a revenue account).
So we will debit cash to indicate an increase and credit sales revenue to indicate an increase in revenue
Your non-technical manager is delighted with the idea of referring to common vulnerabilities by their nicknames, such as "Heartbleed" instead of CVE-2014-0160 or "Shellshock" instead of CVE-2014-6271, and insists that no one can possibly remember those long CVE names. Present reasons both for and against this conclusion. Which side of the issue do you agree with, explain your opinion and reasoning. This should be written as a recommendation email to your manager with a list of backup sources at the bottom. When you list these sources, include more information than only a URL.
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $39,900 and a current ratio of 1.90. Assume that the following transactions were completed: (1) purchased merchandise for $5,100 on account and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $2,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Required:
Compute the updated current ratio.
Answer:
Appalachian Beverages
The Updated current ratio is:
= 1.65
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current assets = $39,900
Current ratio = 1.90
Current liabilities = $21,000 ($39,900/1.90)
Current Assets:
Beginning balance = $39,900
Inventory $5,100
Cash ($2,000)
Ending balance = $43,000
Current Liabilities:
Beginning balance = $21,000
Accounts Payable $5,100
Ending balance = $26,100
Analysis of Transactions:
1. Inventory $5,100 Accounts Payable $5,100
2. Delivery Truck $10,000 Cash $2,000 Two-year Note Payable $8,000
Updated current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
= $43,000/$26,100
= 1.65
Carly Company plans to depreciate a new building using the double declining-balance depreciation method. The building cost is $960,000. The estimated residual value of the building is $66,000 and it has an expected useful life of 25 years. Assuming the first year's depreciation expense was recorded properly, what would be the amount of depreciation expense for the second year
Answer:
Straight line method rate = 1/ Number of years * 100 = 1/25*100 = 4%
Double declining balance depreciation = 2*Straight line method rate*Book value
First Year depreciation = 8%*$960,000
First Year depreciation = $76,800
Second year depreciation = 8% * (Book Value as on 1st year - First Year depreciation)
Second year depreciation = 8%*($960,000-$76,800)
Second year depreciation = 8%*$883,200
Second year depreciation = $70,656

Describe the reason that accrued expenses often require adjusting entries but not in every situation. g
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
Accrued Expenses:
The expenses accumulated were costs pending only at the conclusion of the financial day to be paid. Your financial reports would be made around an accrual basis, meaning the revenue would be booked appropriately without receiving the money. Likewise, the costs incurred during the existing fiscal year will be booked irrespective of if they're not paid.
Usually, know that such a cost is incurred only at end of the fiscal year until we have been paid.
When at the conclusion of a fiscal year we won't receive this bill, therefore the costs will have to be modified directly. In case the payment is not received.

During the year, she spent $2,500 on and began working on a law degree in night school. Her law school expenses were $4,200 for tuition and $450 for books (which are not a requirement for enrollment in the course). Assuming no reimbursement, how much of these expenses can Janet deduct
Complete Question:
Janet is currently employed at an accounting firm. During the year (2021), she spent $2,500 on a CPA review course and began working on a law degree in night school. Her law school expenses were $4,200 for tuition and $450 for books (which are not a requirement for enrollment in the course). Assuming no reimbursement, how much of these expenses can Janet deduct?
Answer:
Janet
Assuming no reimbursement by the accounting firm, Janet can deduct:
= $6,700
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Amount spent on CPA review course = $2,500
Law school expenses:
Tuition = $4,200
Books = $450
Total expenses by Janet = $7,150
Books not required for enrollment = $450
Qualified deductible expenses = $6,700
b) Therefore, Janet cannot deduct the whole $7,150 expenses that she incurred during the year. But she can deduct up to $6,700. The expense for the books is not qualified because the books are not required for her enrollment or attendance at the law school.

Determine the amount to be paid in full settlement of each invoice, assuming that credit for returns and allowances was received prior to payment and that all invoices were paid within the discount period.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The amount that should be paid is
= $4,500 - $1,200 - ($4,500 - $1,200) × 2%) + $140
= $4,500 - $1,200 - $66 + $140
= $3,374
And,
b. The amount that should be paid is
= $7,650 - $450 - ($7,650 - $450) × 1%
= $7,650 - $450 - $72
= $7,128
In this way the amount to be paid in full could be determined
