No, this is not permitted under the AICPA Code of Conduct. The fee of the firm would have based<span> solely on the success of their task. Under the Code, it is allowed to received payment based on the work they have done but it is not the sole basis for its payment. In this situation, there is no agreed payment except for the success of their task so there will be an opportunity of fraud for the firm here in order to receive the fee. To compensate this problem, the Code did not allow this type of payment terms (the fee is based solely in the success of the tax credits they may earn).</span>

A bond with a coupon rate of 7% makes semiannual coupon payments on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Wall Street Journal
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The invoice price of the bond will be $100,127.88

Explanation:

Bonds are nothing but the debt instrument which a company uses to raise capital from the general public, these bonds can be of both short and long term period.

In the question it is given that bond has a coupon period of 182 days which means the bond is of short term period. Coupon rate of 7% means the bond gives the interest of 7% to its holder semiannually every year on January 15 and July 15.

It is given that the ask price for the bond on January 30 is 100.125 percent on par value of the bond which we are assuming to be $1000, which means the ask price is

$1000 X 100.125 = $100,125    ( ASK PRICE)

now we have to calculate the interest, remember the semiannually payment of interest has already been made on January 15 which means we have to find interest for only 15 days which will be taken out on par value

INTEREST = $1000 x 7% x 15 / 30

                 = $1000 x .07 x 1/ 2

                 = $35

INVOICE PRICE = INTEREST X \frac{TOTAL \: NUMBER \: OF \: DAYS}{COUPON \: PERIOD}   + Ask price

        =  $35 X 15 / 182

        = $2.884

Now adding this amount in to ask price

$100,125 + $2.884

= $100,127.88  ( INVOICE PRICE)

Harvey Automobiles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its trucks. The cost of producing 60,000 parts is $160,
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

The computation of the change in operating income is shown below:

= Buying cost - making cost

where,

Buying cost = Cost of producing parts × outside supplier per unit

                    = 60,000 parts × $3

                    = $180,000

And, the making cost would be

= Variable cost + fixed cost × given percentage

= $110,000 + $50,000 × 30%

= $110,000 + $15,000

= $125,000

So, the operating income would be

= $180,000 - $125,000

= $55,000
