A company bought new heating system for $64,000 and was given a trade-in of $3,400 on an old heating system, so the company paid

Answer:

$64,000

Explanation:

The Cost price of the item Acquired is measured at fair value. When the Fair Value of Both the Asset Acquired and Asset given up can be determined reliably, the fair value of the asset given up will be used. Unless, the fair value of the asset acquired is more evident, that value may be used.

Mainline Produce Corporation acquired all the outstanding common stock of Iceberg Lettuce Corporation for $38,000,000 in cash. T

oee [108]

Answer:

The amount paid for goodwill is $3,000,000

Explanation:

For computing the goodwill amount, first we have to find out the net assets value based on fair values which is shown below:

Net asset = Total assets - Total liabilities

where,

Total assets = Current assets + Property, plant, and equipment + Other assets

= $14,000,000 + $36,000,000 + $4,000,000

= $54,000,000

And, the total liabilities = Current liabilities + Long-term liabilities

= $7,400,000 + $11,600,000

= $19,000,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $54,000,000 - $19,000,000

= $38,000,000

Now the goodwill would be

= Amount paid - Net assets

= $38,000,000 - $35,000,000

= $3,000,000

Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.

Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.

Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.

In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.

A ten-year, inflation-indexed bond has a par value of $10,000 and annual coupon rate of 5 percent. During the first six months s

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Par value of bond = $10,000

Coupon rate Annual = 5%

So, Coupon rate semi annual = 2.5%

Inflation rate semi annual = 2%

So, we can calculate the coupon payment for six months by using following formula:

New par value of bonds after inflation = $10,000 + ( $10,000 × 2% ) = $10,200

So, Coupon payment = New par value × Coupon rate semi annual

= $10,200 × 2.5%

= $255

You have just taken a job at a manufacturing company and have discovered that they use absorption costing to analyze product cos

poizon [28]

Answer and Explanation:

Respected Sir,

Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions

As per your requirement please find the explanation below:

Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.

Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.

Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.

The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.
