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.)

Answers

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Ayayai Corporation

Journal Entries

For the Year ending 2016

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:

Delicious Desserts is thinking about ending the production of two types of ice cream. Financial data related to the products is provided below: Rum Raisin Blue Moon
Sales $680,000 $573,000
Variable expenses 246,000 219.000
Fixed expenses 468,000 364,000

If Delicious stops making Rum Raisin ice cream, it estimates it can eliminate 75% of the fixed costs associated with that product. Similarly, if it stops making Blue Moon, it estimates it can eliminate 70% of the fixed costs associated with that product.
Given these figures, which of the following statements is true?

A) Delicious would be worse off if it discontinues Rum Raisin and would be better off if it discontinues Blue Moon.
B) Delicious would be better off if it discontinues Rum Raisin and would be worse off if it discontinues Blue Moon.
C) Delicious would be better off if it discontinues both products.
D) Delicious would be worse off if it discontinues either product.

Answers

Answer:

The correct choice here is A)

Delicious would be worse off if it discontinues Rum Raisin and would be better off if it discontinues Blue Moon.

Explanation:

Lets look at the figures:

Step I

Calculate the Total Costs for each product.

Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

TC for Rum Raisin =

$246,000+ $468,000

= $714,000

TC for Blue Moon =

$219,000 + $ 364,000

= $ 583 000

Step II

The business estimates that it can eliminate it's Fixed cost to a certain degree. Lets look at each before we make a decision.

New TC for each business is given as below:

New TC for Rum Raisin if 75% of Fixed Cost is eliminated =

$246,000+ ($468,000 x 25%)

= $246,000 + $117,000

New TC for Rum Raisin Ice Cream = $363,000

New TC for Blue Moon if 70% of it's Fixed Cost is removed =

$246,000+ ($468,000 x 30%)

= $246,000 + $140,400

New TC for Blue Moon Ice Cream = $386,400

The company Delicious is better off eliminating the product with the highest TC all other factors remaining accounted for and taken into consideration.

The product which must go is Blue Moon Ice Cream.

Followers of the efficient market hypothesis believe thatA) very few investors actually analyze or evaluate stocks before they make a purchase decision.B) the needed information to assess the market is available only to corporate insiders.C) investors react quickly and accurately to new information.D) individual traders can have a significant impact on the price of a security.

Answers

Answer: Followers of the efficient market hypothesis believe that "C) investors react quickly and accurately to new information.".

Explanation: The efficient market hypothesis states that the current price of an asset in the market reflects all available information that exists (historical, public and private). It considers that any news or future event that may affect the price of an asset, will make the price adjust so quickly, that it is impossible to obtain an economic benefit from it.

This adjustment happens so fast because investors act quickly and accurately in the face of new information.

In a press conference, the president of a small country displays a chart showing that GDP has risen by 10 percent every year for five years. He argues that this growth shows the brilliance of his economic policy. However, his chart uses nominal GDP numbers. This chart might be wrong because it: is rare for GDP to increase by the same amount for five years. only uses five years of information. relies on nominal GDP which might have increased because of price increases and not output increases. relies on nominal GDP which might have increased because of output increases and not price increases. If you were a reporter at the press conference, to get a more accurate picture of the country’s economic growth you should ask for the: unemployment rate which reflects changes in international flows. growth rate of real GDP which excludes price changes. growth rate of real GDP which includes price changes. inflation rate which includes price change.

Answers

Answer:

a) the correct answer is "B"

b) the correct answer is "C"
