Answer:

Accrued Loss on Purchase Commitments $2,000,000

Explanation:

December 31, (recognition of loss on purchase commitments)

  • Dr Loss on Purchase Commitments account 2,000,000
  • Cr Accrued Loss on Purchase Commitments account 2,000,000

Since the price of raw materials lowered by 2,000,000, the company lost money on its purchase commitments:

Purchase commitments loss = contracted price - market value = $5,000,000 - $3,000,000 = $2,000,000

The loss on purchase commitments is an expense, and accrued loss on purchase commitments is a liability.

Which two investment options would be best if you are 45 years old, just starting to save, and want to retire when you are 65? C
Lelu [443]

Answer:

As you are starting at 45 years until 65 years, meaning you got only 20 years. So, the best investment options I recommend are,

  • Certificate of Deposit
  • Bonds
  • Mutual Funds

Explanation:

First of all, in terms of investing, 20 year time span is NOT that beneficial or wise! Because as you know, to gain the true effect of compounding, it is always better to start early and go on for about 30 or 40 years, even 50! Google about "Warren Buffet"!

However, in this case, the 3 options mentioned above are much better. But I'm not saying others are bad.

Certificate of deposits, Bonds and Mutual funds are relatively less riskier and does not fluctuate much with the market.

Moreover, the interest  yields are preferably higher.

Given that the interest rate remains relatively at a higher lever, these 3 options will pay of a decent contribution through compounding over the course of 20 years.

Paul [167]

Answer:

the answer for the first question is $166667.

the answer for the second question is $210526

the answer for the third question is An inverse.

Explanation:

given information that i will invest in a $10000 scholarship that will pay forever.

the interest rate charged is 6.00% per annum therefore this is a perpetuity present value problem where there is streams of income forever therefore we use the formula :

Pv of perpetuity= Cf/r

where Cr is the cash flows payed by the single investment forever in this case $10000 then r is the interest rate of the investment amount which is 6% in this case.

Pv of Perpetuity= $10000/6%

                           =$166667 therefore i must invest this amount to get the scholarship running with streams of $10000 forever.

in the second problem if now the interest rate is changed from 6% to 4.75% then the amount to be invested would be :

Pv of perpetuity = $10000/4.75%

                              =$210526 therefore this is the amount to be invested for a forever $10000 stream of incomes for a scholarship.

the relationship is indirect cause as the interest rate decreases the present value of the perpetuity that must be invested increases.

The General Fund levies property taxes in the amount of $1,000,000 for calendar year 2019. It expects to collect $950,000 during
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Under the accrual basis, it should recognize $1,000,000 as property tax revenue for the year 2019.  The remaining $45,000 that it does not collect in year 2019 will be accounted for as Property Tax Receivable while the $5,000 will be recorded as Uncollectible Expense in 2019.

Explanation:

The accrual concept or basis of accounting requires that all revenues and expenses relating to a fiscal year be recognized in that accounting year.  It is not only the actual cash receipts and payments that should be recognized.  This means that any revenue that is due but not yet received will be accounted for in the year that the revenue arises.  And all the related expenses for raising the revenue will also be accounted for in the same year.
