The current portion of long-term debt should be classified as a long-term liability. Thus, option (d) is correct.
What is debt?
The phrase “debt” refers to the money that one can borrow. Debt is the cash raised by issuing bonds or debentures.
A company's ability to pay off a long-term debt's current component within a year is represented by this number. So, a sum of this magnitude that is due in the next 12 months shouldn't be listed as a long-term liability.

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Answer:
a. Taxable income = $80,000
b. Taxable income = $77,600
c. Taxable income = $80,600
Explanation:
Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.
The requirements are therefore answered as follows:
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.
The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.
In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:
Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.
For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.
Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.
Daryl Kirby opened Squid Realty Co. on January 1, 2015. At the end of the first year, the business needed additional capital. On behalf of Squid Realty Co., Daryl applied to Ocean National Bank for a loan of $375,000. Based on Squid Realty Co.'s financial statements, which had been prepared on a cash basis, the Ocean National Bank loan officer rejected loan as too risky. After receiving the rejecting notice, Daryl instructed his accountant to prepare the financial statement on an accrual basis. These statements included $65,000 in accounts receivable and $85,000 in accounts payable. Daryl then instructed his accountant to record an additional $30,000 of accounts receivable for commissions on property for which a contract had been signed on December 28, 2015. The title to the property is to transfer on January 5, 2016, when an attorney formally records the transfer of the property to the buyer. Daryl then applied for a $375,000 loan from Free Spirit Bank, using the revised financial statements. On this application, Daryl indicated that he had not previously been rejected for credit.
Required:
Discuss the ethical and professional conduct of Daryl Kirby in applying for the loan from Free Spirit Bank.
Answer:
There are issues with Revenue recognition, Accrual basis of accounting and Cash basis of accounting.
Explanation:
The ethical issues are important to handle with care in business. The accountant has used accrual basis accounting technique in order to apply for a loan. The revised financial statements are prepared with accrual concept so that the company is successful in procuring loan. The revenue should be recognized when performance obligation is completed and the required services are rendered. The accrual concept states that the transaction should be recorded when it occurs regardless when the cash is actually received. Daryl has been involved in unethical practice as he has instructed his accountant to prepare revised financial statements to portray that the company's performance is good. It is an intention to deceive bank in order to procure loan.

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon, and employees at grocery stores earn $21.50 per hour. Indicate the following whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market.
a. There are many teenagers who would like to work at grocery stores, but the minimum-wage law sets the hourly wage at $25.00.
b. The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
c. The government prohibits grocery stores from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
Explanation:
at price ceiling we have price set at a maximum level. it cannot be raised beyond this level. At binding price ceiling, price would be set to be lower than what is the equilibrium price level. a non binding price ceiling is set to be higher than equilibrium level.
At price floor, price is set to a particular minimum level. It cannot fall lower than this. At binding price floor, price is higher than equilibrium price' at non binding price floor, it is set to be lower than equilibrium price level.
this expalnation should help us to answer this question.
(a) Many teenagers would like to work but minimum wage is set at 25.00 we have Price floor, Binding
(b) Government instituted legal minimum price of a gallon of milk at $2.30 we have Price floor, Non-binding
(c) if the Government prohibits from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon then we have Price ceiling, Binding
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is
Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented
Explanation:
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.
An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.
This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.

One year ago, Tyler Stasney founded Swift Classified Ads. Stasney remembers that you took an accounting course while in college and comes to you for advice. He wishes to know how much net income his business earned during the past year in order to decide whether to keep the company going. His accounting records consist of the T-accounts from his ledger, which were prepared by an accountant who moved to another city. The ledger at December 31 follows. The accounts have not been adjusted. Stasney indicates that at year-end, customers owe him $1,600 for accrued service revenue. These revenues have not been recorded. During the year, Stasney collected $4,000 service revenue in advance from customers, but he earned only $900 of that amount. Rent expense for the year was $2,400, and he used up $1,700 of the supplies. Stasney determines that depreciation on his equipment was $5,000 for the year. At December 31, he owes his employee $1,200 accrued salary.
Answer:
net income = $33,900
Explanation:
The T-accounts are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
Stasney indicates that at year-end, customers owe him $1,600 for accrued service revenue. These revenues have not been recorded.
Dr Accounts receivable 1,600
Cr Service revenue 1,600
During the year, Stasney collected $4,000 service revenue in advance from customers, but he earned only $900 of that amount.
Dr Unearned revenue 900
Cr Service revenue 900
Rent expense for the year was $2,400, and he used up $1,700 of the supplies.
Dr Rent expense 2,400
Cr Prepaid rent 2,400
Dr Supplies expense 1,700
Cr Supplies 1,700
Stasney determines that depreciation on his equipment was $5,000 for the year.
Dr Depreciation expense 5,000
Cr Accumulated depreciation 5,000
At December 31, he owes his employee $1,200 accrued salary.
Dr Wages expense 1,200
Cr Wages payable 1,200
Total expense for the year = $17,000 (paid wages) + $1,200 (accrued wages) + $800 (utilities) + $2,400 (rent) + $1,700 (supplies) + $5,000 (depreciation) = $28,100
total revenues = $59,500 (previously recorded) + $1,600 (unrecorded service revenue) + $900 (accrued service revenue) = $62,000
net income = $62,000 - $28,100 = $33,900

The Board acknowledges your analysis and agrees with your conclusion. They are now curious about how Charles Schwab can use strategies of a mature industry to increase its revenue. You present them two options. One is to implement a product proliferation strategy to establish a presence in the niches that the new entrants are targeting. This strategy has proven to be very successful in the past and can be a very timely advantage. Another plausible strategy is product development to enhance current products. Research shows that the current product line is still fresh in the consumers’ eyes. Which is the wiser choice?
Explanation:
Analyzing the two strategies, the wisest choice would be the product proliferation strategy to establish a presence in the niches that the new competitors are aiming for.
This strategy consists of increasing a company's product mix, in order to increase its positioning in the market through the conquest of new market shares, which consists in the increase of consumers and a greater competitiveness for the company in entering new niches.
The other product development strategy to improve current products may not be a good strategy at the moment, as we have information that the current product is still fresh in the eyes of consumers, so the product is growing, which means that consumers already know the product and there are growth rates in the purchase and repurchase of the product.
Mirr, Inc. was incorporated on January 1, year 1, with proceeds from the issuance of $750,000 in stock and borrowed funds of $110,000. During the first year of operations, revenues from sales and consulting amounted to $82,000, and operating costs and expenses totaled $64,000. On December 15, Mirr declared a $3,000 cash dividend, payable to stockholders on January 15, year 2. No additional activities affected owners' equity in year 1. Mirr's liabilities increased to $120,000 by December 31, year 1. On Mirr's December 31, year 1 balance sheet, total assets should be reported at:_______
Answer:
$885,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the total assets should be reported
Using this formula
TOTAL ASSETS =Total of liabilities + Total stockholders' equity
Initial equity $750,000
Income $18,000
($82,000-$64,000)
Dividends ($3,000)
12/31 Total stockholders' equity $765,000
Add Liabilities of $120,000
Total ASSETS $885,000
Therefore On Mirr's December 31, year 1 balance sheet, total assets should be reported at $885,000
Bramble Corp. sells MP3 players for $60 each. Variable costs are $30 per unit, and fixed costs total $120000. How many MP3 players must Bramble sell to earn net income of $300000?
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $60
Variable costs are $30 per unit
Fixed costs total $120,000.
Desired profit= $300,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 300,000) / 30
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units

10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
Answer:
10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
variable cost per unit = 28 + 12 + 10 + 3 + 16 + 14 + 5 + 8 + 15 + 30 + 15 = $156
average fixed cost per unit = $500,000 / 50,000 units = $10
total cost per unit = $166
desired profit margin = 40%, so total costs must be 60% of selling price
selling price = $166 / 60% = $276.67 ≈ $277 per unit
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
retailers' margin = $277 x 20% = $55.40
selling price to retailers = $277 - $55.40 = $221.60
wholesalers' margin = $221.60 x 10% = $22.16
selling price to wholesalers = $221.60 - $22.16 = $199.44 per unit

Dale takes out a loan of $8,000 with a 15.2% interest rate that is compounded semi-annually.
If he pays off the loan in 3 years, how much will he end up paying?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.
DO NOT round until you have calculated the final answer.
Answer:
$12,415.48
Explanation:
The formula for calculating compound interest is
FV = PV × (1+r)^ n.
For Dale , FV = the amount he will pay?
PV = $8,000
r = 15.2%
n =3 years
Since interest is compounded semi-annually, the applicable r will be 15.2% divided by 2, n will be 3 years x 2
Fv= $8,000 x ( 1 + {15.2 %/ 2}^6
Fv = $8,000 x (1+ 7.6/100) ^ 6
Fv= $8,000 x ( 1.076) ^6
Fv = $8000 x 1.551934858492184
Fv=$12,415.482
Fv= $12,415.48
Dale will end up paying $12,415.48
Answer: 12,415.48
Explanation:
Use the compund interest formula for calculating the future value, A=P(1+rn)n⋅t where A is the unknown future value, P is the principal, so P=$8,000, r is the rate written as a decimal, so r=0.152, n is the number of periods of compounding which is 2 when compounded semi-annually,so n=2, and t is the time in years, so t=3. Substitute the values into the formula.
Use the compound interest formula and substitute the given values: A=$8,000(1+0.1522)2(3). Simplify using the order of operations: A=$8,000(1.076)6=$8,000(1.551935358)≈$12,415.48.
Deferred tax liability $ 355,000 $ 463,000 The income statement reported tax expense for Year 2 in the amount of $580,000. Required: 1. What was the amount of income taxes payable for Year 2
Answer: $472,000
Explanation:
Deferred Tax Liability arises as a result of the different accounting methods used by Companies and by the Government for taxation.
Deferred tax liabilities are taxes that are owed to the Government due to the company using the Accrual system but as the Government uses the Cash basis, they have not yet recognised this tax.
The Tax Payable in Year 2 is;
= Reported Tax Expense - increase in Deferred Tax liability
= 580,000 - (463,000 - 355,000)
= $472,000
When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:
Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.
Explanation:
The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.
This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.
In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.
Which components should Enterprise Free Cash Flows include? I. Capital expenditures II. Financing costs III. Taxes IV. Working capital requirements
Answer:
I , III and IV
Explanation:
The free cash flow is the cash flow in which the cash is left after paying off the operating expenses and the capital structure
Free cash flow is
= EBIT × (1 - tax rate) + depreciation & Amortization - changes in net working capital - capital expenditure
Therefore, the correct option is I, III and IV and the same is to be considered
On August 20th, one of your employees comes to you with a vacation request. The employee’s available vacation time expires on September 1st, however she wants to take her vacation between September 20th through the 25th.
She asks you to submit her vacation request to the corporate office for the week prior to September 1st, and wants you to not schedule her for the days between the 20th and 25th, and she wants her "vacation" pay for those days.
Would you do it? Why? or Why Not?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Her vacation is expired and therefore invalid. Also she is requesting for a pay during this period which counters Amy form of sympathy for this employee. However, depending on the relationship the employee has with her employer, there might be a compromise especially if the employee really does need the vacation as she may be burned out or may have postponed vacation till expiration for the interest of the company

2017 2016
Free cash flow
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
a. Current ratio
= Total current asset / Total current liabilities
2017
Current asset. 890,400
Current liabilities 424,000
Current ratio = 890,400/424,000
= 2.1
2016 Current ratio
Current asset. 999,600
Current liabilities 357,000
Current ratio = 999,600/357,000
= 2.8
b. Earnings per share
= (Net income - Preference dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding
2017
Net income. 166,830
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 201,000
Earnings per share = $166,830/201,000
= $0.83
2016 Earnings per share
Net income $337,600
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 211,000
Earnings per share = $337,600/211,000
= $1.6
c. Debt to asset ratio
= Total liabilities / Total assets
2017
Total liabilities 573,300
Total assets 1,950,000
= 573,300/1,950,000
= 0.29
2016 Debt to asset ratio
Total liabilities 552,132
Total assets 1,878,000
Debt to asset ratio = 552,132/1,878,000
= 0.29
d. Free cash flow
2017
Cash flow from operating activities 300,000
Less: capital expenditure (271,000)
Free cash flow 29,000
2016 free Cash flow from operating activities
Free cash flow 452,600
Less: capital expenditure (246,500)
Free cash flow. 206,100
You have the following rates of return for a risky portfolio for several recent years. Assume that the stock pays no dividends. Year Beginning of Year Price # of Shares Bought or Sold 2011 $50.00 100 Bought 2012 $55.00 50 Bought 2013 $51.00 75 Sold 2014 $54.00 75 Sold What is the geometric average return for the period?
Answer:
The geometric average return for the period 2.60%.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the return for each year.
In the attached excel file, return is calculated using the following formula:
Return = (Current year price - Previous year price) / Previous year price
The formula for calculating the geometric average return is given as follows:
Geometric average return = [(1 + R1)(1 + R2)(1 + R3)...(1 + Rn)]^(1/n) – 1 ……….. (1)
Where;
Ri = Return over the years I, where i = 1, 2, 3, …. n
n = number of years = 3
R1 = 2012 return = 0.10
R2 = 2013 return = -0.0727272727272727
R3 = 0.0588235294117647
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = ((1 + 0.10)(1 - 0.0727272727272727)(1 + 0.0588235294117647))^(1/3) – 1
Geometric average return = (1.10 * 0.927272727272727 * 1.0588235294117647)^(1/3) – 1
Geometric average return = 1.07999999999999^0.333333333333333 - 1
Geometric average return = 1.02598556800602 - 1
Geometric average return = 0.02598556800602 = 0.0260, or 2.60%
Therefore, the geometric average return for the period 2.60%.
Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument
Answer:
A)Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.
In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.
Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.

Suppose you receive at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is , what is the present value of these cash flows? b. What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?
Answer:
the question is missing the numbers, so I looked for a similar question:
Suppose you receive $100 at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of these cash flows? (Answer: $257) b. What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? (Answer: $324.61) c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays 8% interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?
a) PV = $100/1.08 + $100/1.08² + $100/1.08³ = $257.71
b) FV = $257.71 x (1 + 8%)³ = $324.64
c) FV = ($100 x 1.08²) + ($100 x 1.08) + $100 = $324.64
it is exactly the same as the answer for (b)
1. Rosa Green estimates the cost of future projects for a large contracting firm. Rosa uses precisely the same techniques to estimate the costs of every potential job and formulates bids by adding a standard profit markup. For some companies, to which the firm offers its services, there are no competitors also seeking their business, so Rosa's company is almost certain to get these companies as clients. For these jobs, Rosa finds that her cost estimates are right, on average. For jobs where competitors are also vying for the business, Rosa finds that they almost always end up costing more than she estimates.
a. True
b. False
2. Rosa is less likely to win the jobs where she underestimates the costs, causing her to experience the winner's curse.
a. False
b. True
Answer:
1) a. True
Rosa is almost always right when she knows that her company is a monopoly, i.e. has no competition, but is generally wrong when her company has to compete with other contractors. It is simple, a monopolist can decide which markup percentage to use, and can use a really high one, but when competition exists, markups are not so high and profits not so abundant. That is why she almost always gets it wrong when having to deal with other competitors.
2) a. False
The winner's curse usually happens when someone wins a bid over some contract or asset, but then they realize that the actual price of the contract or asset was lower than the bid. E.g. in an auction, two people are fighting over to see who buys an antique car which increases the price of the car way beyond the real market value. But it can also happen to a company that offers very low prices, and then after they won a contract, cannot perform properly because their actual costs are higher.
When a company makes an offer, they are certain about the price of the contract and they should know the value of the services or goods that they are offering. If Rosa underestimates her costs, and prepares her offer using unrealistically low costs, then she will probably win the bid but end up losing money.
