At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
Café Med
a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).
b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Lease annual payments = $29,000
First payment date = January 1, 2021
Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.
Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)
Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000
Lifespan of equipment = 13 years
Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113
b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease. This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense. The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.

The U.S. Army has approached Klean Fiber and expressed an interest in purchasing 250,500 Y-Go undergarments for soldiers in extremely warm climates. The Army would pay the unit cost for direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead costs. In addition, the Army has agreed to pay an additional $1.02 per undergarment to cover all other costs and provide a profit. Presently, Klean Fiber is operating at 70% capacity and does not have any other potential buyers for Y-Go. If Klean Fiber accepts the Army's offer, it will not incur any variable selling expenses related to this order.

The $3.48 cost excludes the fixed overheads or the selling and administrative expenses.
Gnomes R Us just paid a dividend of $1.90 per share. The company has a dividend payout ratio of 25 percent. If the PE ratio is 16.9 times, what is the stock price
Answer:
Stock price=$128.44
Explanation:
Calculation for stock price
First step is to calculate for dividend payout ratio using this formula
Dividend payout ratio=Dividend payout/Earnings
Let plug in the formula
Earnings=($1.90/0.25)
Earnings=$7.6
Now let calculate for PE ratio using this formula
PE ratio=Stock price/EPS
Let plug in the formula
Stock price=$7.6*16.9times
Stock price=$128.44
Therefore Stock price will be $128.44
A competitive firm maximizes profit by choosing a level of output where the world price is equal to the firm's
Answer: c. Marginal Cost
Explanation:
A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.
P = MR = AR
Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.
If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.
The revenue recognition principle states that: Multiple Choice Revenue should be recognized in the period goods and services are provided. Revenue should be recognized in the period the cash is received. Revenue should be recognized in the balance sheet. Revenue is a component of common stock.
Answer:
Revenue should be recognized in the period goods and services are provided.
Explanation:
IFRS 15 requires revenue to be recognized when control of goods or services has been made to the customer. Control is when all the risks and benefits associated with the product or service has been transferred to the customer.

Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)
What is the optimal production quantity for the card?
Answer:
9644
Explanation:
cost of paper on which a card is printed = $0.40 per card
cost of printing = $0.10 per card
profit made per card sold = $3.75
number of areas where customers are located (n)= 4
mean of customers from each region = 2300
standard deviation for each region = 200
note : each region is independent
The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated going through these steps
first we determine
the cost of card = $0.10 + $0.40 = $0.50
selling value = $3.75
salvage value = 0
next we calculate for the z value
= ( selling value - cost of card) / ( selling price - salvage value )
= ( 3.75 - 0.50 ) / 3.75 = 0.8667
Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV ( 0.8667 )
next we calculate
u = n * mean demand
= 4 * 2300 = 9200
б = [tex]200\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 200 * 2
= 400
Hence optimal production quantity for the card
= u + Z (0.8667 ) * б
= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400
= 9644.3704
≈ 9644
Eduardo has been reading about the use of drone technology in recent military conflicts and is not quite sure what to think. On the one hand, the use of drones means that military missions can be executed without putting American lives at risk. On the other hand, this very fact means that our political leaders might be quicker to resort to military solutions when other solutions might be available. Eduardo is also concerned about other effects of fully mechanized battle operations. For instance, unlike a human soldier, a drone can neither hear nor sympathize with a mother pleading for the life of her innocent child. Eduardo has decided to research the topic of military drones in more detail and write an essay in which he decides whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action. Which type of argument will Eduardo be making?
a. Argument of fact
b. Argument of definition
c. Argument of evaluation
d. Policy argument
Answer:
c. Argument of evaluation
Explanation:
Eduardo will be making a decision on "whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action." This is a judgement call. And he will be determining whether or not drone usage is good or bad. So this is purely an argument of evaluation. The argument is not of fact or definition or a policy argument, but one in which he will establish his opinion on the issue of the use of drone technology in the military.

Explanation:
Julie Brown is a single woman in her late 20s. She is renting an apartment in the fashionable part of town for $1,000 a month. After much thought, she's seriously considering buying a condominium for $175,000. She intends to put 20 percent down and expects that closing costs will amount to another $5,000; a commercial bank has agreed to lend her money at the fixed rate of 6 percent on a 15-year mortgage. Julie would have to pay an annual condominium owner's insurance premium of $560 and property taxes of $1,000 a year (she's now paying renter's insurance of $550 per year). In addition, she estimates that annual maintenance expenses will be about 0.5 percent of the price of the condo (which includes a $30 monthly fee to the property owners' association). Julie's income puts her in the 25 percent tax bracket (she itemizes her deductions on her tax returns), and she earns an after-tax rate of return on her investments of around 4 percent.
Required:
a. Evaluate and compare Julie’s alternatives of remaining in the apartment or purchasing the condo.
b. Working with a friend who is a realtor, Julie has learned that condos like the one that she’s thinking of buying are appreciating in value at the rate of 3.5 percent a year and are expected to continue doing so. Would such information affect the rent-or-buy decision made in a?
c. Discuss any other factors that should be considered when making a rent-or-buy decision.
d. Which alternative would you recommend for Julie in light of your analysis?
Answer:
a. Julie should continue live in her own apartment.
b. She should then purchase the condo
c. Home maintenance cost and tax benefit.
d. She should live in her own apartment and rent the condo after purchase.
Explanation:
Buying cost of condo $175,000
Loan interest amount $8,400 [ $175,000 * 80% * 6%]
Insurance premium $10 [560 - 550]
Property taxes $1,000
Maintenance expense $875 [$175,000 * 0.5%]
Total additional cost per year $10,280
If Julie plans to buy the condo she will have to incur additional cost of $10,280 per annum.
b. If the price of condo increases by 3.5% per year then she should consider buying the condo.
On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
Answer:
this case tells us about some sort of pressures that accounts feel when financial statements are needed urgently
Explanation:
1) As for using low estimates, this step was wrong on her part. she should have been upfront in her estimates. for the items that she could not estimate there should have been an indication that such items were still under review, instead of doing what she did to give the financial estimate a good look. Using guesses or deliberately using low estimates was a bad idea, GAAP would never condone that.
She should have met with the president and let him know that finalization of the financial statements would not possible within the time frame that he has given. She could have also explain that such delays are normal and she would have given estimates of when the draft internal copy would be made available to him. such steps she took could have resulted in serious consequences for the company
2) I would not inflate or deflate the figures on purpose to make financial statements look better. If it is time to present the draft and final year-end financial statements I will have to tell the truth on the numbers and estimations used and also the reasons for that. i would have explained the constraints that i was facing. if i was still being pressurized by the president, i would have no choice than to call it quits instead of going against the ethics of my profession, since there are both ethical and legal implications to not giving inaccurate financial statements.

Two manufacturers, denoted 1 and 2, are competing for 100 identical customers. Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any nonnegtive real number. Let pi and xi denote, respectively, the price and quality of manufacturer i's product. The cost to manufacturer i of producing for one customer is 10+5xi . Note in this expression that the cost is higher when the quality is higher. If manufacturer i sells to qi customers, then its total cost is qi(10+5xi). Each cutomer buys from the manufacturer who offers the greatest value, where the value of buying from manufacturer i is 1000+ xi - pi ; higher quality and lower price means more value. A manufacturer's is qi( pi- 10 - 5xi ). If both manufacturer offers the same value, then 50 customers buy from each manufacturer. If one manufacturer offers higher value, then 100 customers buy from it.
Find all symmetric Nash equilibria.
Answer:
Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Explanation:
The term or concept known as the Nash equilibria is very important and it is often used in the determination of the kind of price strategies companies that are competing against one another will use in order to acquire more customers than the others.
So, in this question/problem we are given that there are two manufacturer that is manufacturer 1 and manufacturer 2. Also, the total number of customers both manufacturers are competing for is equal to 100.
Kindly note that we are given from the question that ''Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any non-negative real number''
If each of the manufacturer has 50 customers each that is symmetric condition.
Assuming we have a condition or situation where p1 is less than p2 for manufacturer 1, it means that manufacture 1 lessens its price, therefore manufacturer 1 will have all all the profit = 100(p1 - 10 - 5x1).
Assuming manufacturer 1 reduces both the quality and the price this time around to the point that it is justifiable to lower the price because of the quality , it means that we will have 1000 + (x1 = 0) + (p1 - compensation m).
For any of the manufacturer, If m> x' and we have that x1 = x'>0[ which is for the quality], then, the profit will be 100(10 + 5x'- m -10).
Also, For any of the manufacturer, if we have x'<m<5x' and x1 for the representation of quality, then, Customers will buy from both manufacturer making m<5x'.
Therefore, Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions: P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Mickey, Mickayla, and Taylor are starting a new business (MMT). To get the business started, Mickey is contributing $200,000 for a 40% ownership interest. Mickayla is contributing a building with a value of $200,000 and a tax basis of $150,000 for a 40% ownership interest, and Taylor is contributing legal services for a 20% ownership interest. Using the research skills you learned in Week 1, access RIA Checkpoint and research what amount of gain/income each owner is required to recognize under each of the following alternative situations?
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Answer:
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §721, but Taylor's doesn't.
Explanation:
Basically §351 and §721 are very similar except that one applies to corporations and the other applies to partnerships and LLCs. No gain will be recognize when assets are transferred in exchange for equity, and the people involved in the exchange can control the company.
On January 1, 2021, Taco King leased retail space from Fogelman Properties. The 10-year finance lease requires quarterly variable lease payments equal to 3% of Taco King's sales revenue, with a quarterly sales minimum of $600,000. Payments at the beginning of each quarter are based on previous quarter sales. During the previous 5-year period, Taco King has generated quarterly sales of over $750,000. Fogelman's interest rate, known by Taco King, was 4%. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entries for Taco King at the beginning of the lease at January 1, 2021.
2. Prepare the journal entries for Taco King at April 1, 2021. First quarter sales were $760,000. Amortization is recorded quarterly.
Answer:
Jan 1st, 2021 entry:
Equipment 746,168 debit
Lease Liability 723,668 credit
Cash 22,500 credit
April 1st, 2021 entry:
Interest expense 7,537 debit
Lease Liability 15,263 debit
Cash 22,800 credit
Explanation:
We will assume a 750,000 sales revenue per quarter. As this was their historical and expected value:
750,000 x 3% = 22,500 per quarter
Now, we solve for the present value of the lease payment:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}(1+r) = PV\\[/tex]
C 22,500
time 40 (10 years x 4 quarter per year)
rate 0.01 (4% annual / 4 quarters)
[tex]22500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.01)^{-40} }{0.01}(1+0.01) = PV\\[/tex]
PV $746,168.2419
we subtract the first payment of 22,500
lease liability reocrded in the enrty: 723.668
As lease sales were 760,000
lease payment: 760,000 x 3% = 22,800
less expected of 22,500 = 300 additional interest expense
interest expense: 723,668 x 0.01 = 7,237 + 300 = 7,537
amortization on lease liability: 22,800 -7,537 = 15,263

Amanda is a twenty-four year old student. For two years Amanda has been going to gym and using weight equipment, stationary bicycles, and step machines to improve muscle tone. One spring afternoon Amanda was using a weight machines in the usual way (and the way she was showed how to use it), when the machine malfunctioned causing her serious injury. The company that made the machine, Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic, the company might want to seriously consider:
a. How this litigation will affect its goodwill
b. Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option
c. Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
d. The costs associated with litigating this claim
e. All of the other choices
Answer:
e. All of the other choices
Explanation:
Product liability is the responsibility that a company bears for injury caused by its products as a result of a defect.
In this instance Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
So for any injury users have they will be liable.
If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic they will have to consider:
- How this litigation will affect its goodwill
- Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option
- Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
- The costs associated with litigating this claim
This is because they will most likely lose the case.
