What is the future value of an annuity due that pays $550 per year for 18 years? Use an annual interest rate of 8.00%.

Answers

Answer:

$22,245.44

Explanation:

For computing the future value we need to apply the future value which is to be shown in the attachment below:

Provided that,  

Present value = $0

Rate of interest = 8%

NPER = 18 years

PMT = $550

The formula is shown below:

= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)

So, after  applying the above formula, the future value is $22,245.44

Xenon Tech acquired a patent on January 1st, 2013, for $26,400. The patent was estimated to have a useful life of 12 years. On July 1st, 2017, the company incurred legal fees of $6,000 to successfully defend the patent in an infringement suit. How much amortization expense will Xenon Tech recognize on the Income Statement for the year ended December 31st, 2017?

Answers

Answer:

The amount that will recognize under amortization expenses is $2600.

Explanation:

The first step here would be to calculate the amortization expenses for the first 4 years of the patent, here will use straight line depreciation method,

Formula - original value of asset / useful life in years

              - $26,400 / 12

             - $2200

Now for the 4 years this amount would become $2200 x 4 = $8800

The amount of amortization for the first half of 2017 ( up to 30 June ) would be-

= half of full year expenses

= $2200 / 2

= $1100

So up to 30 June 2017, the expenses are $9900 ( $8800+$1100), So the new book value would be = $26,400 - $9900

            = $16,500

In this $16,500 we will add the amount of legal fees, so the total would be -

$16,500 + $6000

= $22,500

The next step is to divide this value by remaining useful; years which is 7.5,

$22,500 / 7.5

= $3000

Now we will divide this amount by 2 because we have to take out expense for remaining last 6 months of 2017

$3000 / 2

= $1500

Adding the expenses for first and second half of 2017 to take out total amortization expense of 2017 -

$1100 + $1500

= $2600

Prescott expects to produce 225,000 basic models and 225,000 professional models. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model?Estimated overhead cost / Estimated qty of the allocation base= Predetermined OH Basic Model Professional ModelManufacturing overhead assembly 264800 195200Manufacturing overhead packaging 55200 227700Total manufacturing overhead cost 320000 422900

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Calculation of Predetermined OH Rate is shown below:

For Materials Handling, it is

= Estimated Overhead Costs ÷ Estimated allocated base Quantity  

= $54,000 ÷ 96

= $562.50 per part

For Machine Setup, it is

= Estimated Overhead Costs ÷ Estimated allocated base Quantity

= $204,000 ÷ 60

= $3,400 per setup

For Insertion of Parts, it is

= Estimated Overhead Costs ÷ Estimated allocated base Quantity  

= $486,000 ÷ 96

= $5,062.50 per part

Now  

Calculation of allocated OH is

For Basic Model:

Allocated OH is

= $562.50 × 32 + $3,400 × 20 + $5,062.50 × 32

= $248,000

For Professional Model:

Allocated OH is

= $562.50 × 64 + $3,400 × 40 + $5,062.50 × 64

= $496,000

During 2016, Ayayai Corporation spent $144,000 in research and development costs. As a result, a new product called the New Age Piano was patented. The patent was obtained on October 1, 2016, and had a legal life of 20 years and a useful life of 10 years. Legal costs of $17,400 related to the patent were incurred as of October 1, 2016. Prepare all journal entries required in 2016 and 2017 as a result of the transactions above. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Answer:

Please see below the journal entries of Ayayai Corporation for the year ending 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Explanation:

Ayayai Corporation

Debit: Research & Development Expense $144,000

Credit: Cash $144,000

To record research and development expense.

Debit: Patent $17,400

Credit: Cash $17,400

To record legal cost relating to Patent.

Debit: Amortization Expense $435

Credit: Patent $435

To record amortization expense for the pro rated year.

Ayayai Corporation

Journal Entries

For the Year ending 2017

Debit: Amortization Expense $1,740

Credit: Patent $1,740

To record amortization expense for year.

AMORTIZATION EXPENSE CALCULATION:

Legal Cost = $17,400

Useful Life = 10 Years

Amortization Expense = Legal Cost / Useful Life

Amortization Expense = $17,400 / 10

Amortization Expense = $1,740 per year

But since in 2016 the patent was obtained on October 1, so Ayayai Corporation will have to pro rate the Amortization Expense in 2016 as below:

Amortization Expense = Annual Amortization Expense x No. of months / Total no. of months

Since patent was obtained in October so the No. of months is '3'

Amortization Expense = $1,740 x 3 / 12

Amortization Expense = $435

Explanation:

Stevenson Company purchased equipment for $250,000 on January 1, 2010. The estimated salvage value is $50,000, and the estimated useful life is 5 years. The straight-line method is used for depreciation. On July 1, 2013 Stevenson sold the equipment for $100,000. The journal entry to record the sale of the equipment will include.

Answers

Answer: The following journal entries would be recorded upon disposal of the equipment:

                                                                              Debit                       Credit

Cash                                                                   $100,000

Accumulated depreciation                               $140,000

Equipment                                                                                        $250,000

Loss on disposal of asset                                   $10,000

Explanation: Using the straight-line method of depreciation, the following formula applies: (Historical cost - Salvage value) / No of years

Depreciation = ($250,000 - $50,000) / 5 years = $40,000 yearly

Accumulated depreciation (January 1, 2010 - July 1, 2013) for three and half years is $140,000 (3.5 years * $40,000). This means that the equipment had a net book value (NBV) of $110,000 as at the time of disposal. So, the above entries would eliminate the asset in the books and recognise the loss on disposal (sales proceed was less than the NBV).
