Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

It should be noted that adjusting entries are normally made at the conclusion of an accounting period so that the income and expenditure will be allocated to the particular period when they took place.

Prepaid rent is calculated as:

= 2660 × (36-5)/36

= 2660 × 31/36

= 2290.56

Unearned revenue:

= 8000 × 11/48

= 1833.33

Accrued interest:

= 3400 × 12% × 8/12

= 3400 × 0.12 × 8/12

= 272

Salary expense:

= 2500 × 4/5

= 2000

The adjusting entry has been attached.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The adjusting entries for year-end include recognizing the appropriate portion of prepaid rent, recognizing earned portion of unearned revenue, recording interest receivable and interest revenue, and adjusting for payroll expense and payable.

Explanation:

The adjustments for Trolley Inc. for year-end can be prepared as follows:

  • August 1: Trolley Inc. paid $2,660 for a three-year lease. The total expense is spread evenly over the three years, so we recognize 5/36 of the cost this year. That's $2,660 x 5/36 = $367.78. So, the adjusting entry is: Debit Prepaid Rent $367.78 and Credit Rent Expense $367.78.
  • February 1: Trolley received $8,000 for a four-year technical service contract. The contract is being delivered evenly over four years, so 11/48 of the revenue is recognized this year. That's $8,000 x 11/48 = $1833.33. Therefore, the adjusting entry is: Debit Unearned Service Revenue $1833.33 and Credit Service Revenue $1833.33.
  • May 1: Trolley loaned $3,400 to another company at 12% interest per annum. The interest for the 8 months is $3,400 x 12% x 8/12 = $272. Hence, the adjusting entry is: Debit Interest Receivable $272 and Credit Interest Revenue $272.
  • December 31: Trolley pays $2,500 weekly (five-day) payroll. Since December 31 falls on a Thursday, there's one day of expenses to adjust. Thus, the adjusting entry is: Debit Wage Expense $500 and Credit Wage Payable $500.

Ruth wants to set aside funds to take an around the world cruise in 4 years. Ruth expects that she will need $25500 for her dream vacation. If she is able to earn 9% per annum on an investment, how much will she have to set aside today so that she will have sufficient funds available?

Answers

Answer:

Amount invested (P) = $18,065 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Total amount need (A) = $25,500

Number of year (n) = 4

Rate of interest (r) = 9% = 0.09

Find:

Amount invested (P)

Computation:

A = P(1+r)ⁿ

25,500 = P(1+0.09)⁴

25,500 = P(1.41158161)

P = 18,064.8429

Amount invested (P) = $18,065 (Approx)

5. In the October 23, 1999 issue, the Economist reports that the interest rate per annum is 5.93% in the United States and 70.0% in Turkey. Why do you think the interest rate is so high in Turkey? Based on the reported interest rates, how would you predict the change of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Turkish lira?

Answers

Answer:

According to the international Fisher Effect (IFE) the high interest rate reflects a high expected rate of inflation in Turkey.

5.93% - 70% = -64.07%

This means that the Turkish Lira is expected to depreciate by 64.07% against the US dollar

Sandlewood Construction Inc. recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion for its long-term construction contracts. In 2018, Sandlewood began work on a $10,000,000 construction contract, which was completed in 2019. The accounting records disclosed the following data at the end of 2018: Costs incurred $ 5,400,000 Estimated cost to complete 3,600,000 Progress billings 4,100,000 Cash collections 3,200,000 In addition to accounts receivable, what would appear in the 2018 balance sheet related to the construction accounts?

Answers

Answer:

Current assets - $1,900,000

Explanation:

The computation of the construction account balance is shown below:

= Cost incurred + gross profit - progress billings

where,

Gross profit = Revenue - cost incurred

The revenue = (Cost incurred ÷ total cost) × completion cost

                     = ($5,400,000 ÷ $9,000,000) × $10,000,000

                     = $6,000,000

So, the gross profit equal to

= $6,000,000 -  $5,400,000

= $600,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $5,400,000 + $600,000 -  $4,100,000

= $6,000,000 - $4,100,000

= $1,900,000 current assets

Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below: Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.

Answers

Answer:

"1143.817" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

According to the question:

Risk premium is:

= 4+3+4

= 11 \ percent

K = N          

⇒  Bond Price = \Sigma [(Coupon)/((1 + YTM)^k) ] + (Per \ value)/((1 + YTM)^N)

k = 1

K = 15  

On putting the values, we get

⇒  Bond Price = \Sigma [(13* (1000)/(100) )/((1 + (11)/(100))^k) ] + (1000)/((1 + (11)/(100) )^(15))

                   = 1143.817
