Answer:
Annual depreciation= $1,275
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $5,600
Useful life= 4 years
Salvage value= $500
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula each year:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(5,600 - 500) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $2,550
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(5,100 - 2,550) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $1,275
The second year's depreciation expense using the double-declining balance method for the point of sale system purchased by Marlow Company would be $1,400.
The double declining balance method is a type of accelerated depreciation accounting method. In the first year, Marlow Company will depreciate the asset at a rate of 2/4 (50%) of the purchase price (i.e., $5,600), which totals $2,800. However, the asset has a salvage value of $500, which must be considered.
In the second year, the depreciation expense will be determined using the remaining book value of the asset after the first year of depreciation (i.e., $5,600 - $2,800 = $2,800) and again applying the rate of 50%. The second year's depreciation will therefore be 50% * $2,800 = $1,400.
So the correct option is e. $1,400.

During the period, customer balances are written off in the amount of $10,000.
At the end of the period, bad debt expense is estimated to be $8,000.
Answer: Please see the analysis below
Explanation: The following are the financial statement effects
Assets Liabilities Stockholders Equity Income Expense
Write-off of $10,000 - - Nil Nil Nil
Bad debt of $8,000 - + - - +
Answer:
Assets =Liabilities + Stockholders Equity
-8000= - 8000
Explanation:
Allowance for Doubtful Debts $10,000
Bad debt expense $8,000
Assets =Liabilities + Stockholders Equity
-8000= - 8000
The write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivable. Neither total assets nor net income is affected by the write off a specific account.Instead both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debts expense is predicted and recorded with an adjusting entry.
For example, the IRS has developed ways of (document matching/ maximizing income) where Treasury can determine if a transaction has been properly reported by comparing (related party information/ third party information/ yearly averages) to relevant taxpayers' returns for the year.
Answer:
Fewer than 1% of all individual tax returns are audited in a given tax year. However, certain types of both taxpayers and income—including, for instance, high-income individuals, cash- oriented businesses, real estate transactions, and estate- and gift-taxable transfers—are subject to much higher probabilities of audit. The ethical tax professional does not "play the audit lottery" and lower his/her reporting standards because of a perception that such actions "will not be caught," nor should the tax professional allow clients to do so.
Explanation:
Fewer than 1% of all individual tax returns as well as all corporate tax return are been audited in a given tax year.
However, certain types of both taxpayers and the income for example high-income individuals, cash- oriented businesses, real estate transactions, estate as well as gift-taxable transfer are often subject to much higher probabilities of audit.
Furthermore the ethical tax professional does not "play the audit lottery" and lower his/her reporting standards because of a perception that such actions "will not be caught," nor should the tax professional allow clients to do so which is why thethe IRS has developed ways of document matching/ maximizing income in which Treasury can help determine if a transaction has been properly and effectively reported by comparing all related party information, third party information and yearly averages to relevant taxpayers' returns for the year.
a. Determine the total interest cost under each plan.
b. Which plan is less costly?
i. Short-tem variable-rate plan
ii. Long-term fixed-rate plarn
Answer:
Long-term fixed-rate plan-$220,320.00
Short-term variable-rate plan-$224,280.00
The long-term fixed-rate plan is less costly as it has a lower interest expense
Explanation:
Total interest under the first plan=principal amount*interest rate*3 years
principal amount is $720,000
interest rate is 10.20%
total interest expense=$720,000*10.20%*3=$220,320.00
Interest expense under second plan=($720,000*8.50%)+($720,000*12.90%)+($720,000*9.75%)=$224,280.00

A bond is an 'I owe you' note where the lender (the investor) lends capital to the borrower (the issuing entity) in return for a bond and gets paid back the face value plus interest at a predetermined rate. Legacy in this case has issued $570,000 worth of bonds with an 8.5% interest rate for four years, selling them at a rate of $508,050 when the current market rate is 12%. The price of a bond is influenced by current market rates.
The subject of the question pertains to bonds, which are part of the financial market. A bond is an 'I owe you' note that an investor buys in exchange for lending capital to an entity, like a corporation or government. In this scenario, Legacy is issuing bonds of $570,000 with an 8.5% interest rate for four years, that pay on a semiannual basis. These bonds are sold at $508,050 when the market rate is 12%.
When buying a bond, an investor becomes the lender and the issuing entity becomes a borrower who agrees to pay back the face value of the bond at maturity, plus an agreed-upon interest rate. As mentioned above, the bond has a coupon rate, usually semi-annual, and a maturity date when the borrower will pay back its face value and last interest payment. By these parameters of face value, interest rate, and maturity date, a buyer can calculate a bond's present value. This value may not be the same as the bond's face value.
If you consider a market rate now at 12%, you know that you could invest $964 in an alternative investment and receive $1,080 a year from now; or $964(1 + 0.12) = $1080. This means you would not pay more than $964 for the original $1,000 bond. Therefore, the price of a bond is influenced by the current market rate.

A bond is an "I owe you" note that an investor receives in exchange for money. Legacy issued bonds at a price lower than the face value due to higher market interest rates.
In financial terms, a bond is an "I owe you" note that an investor receives in exchange for money. The bond has a face value, a coupon rate, and a maturity date. Combining these elements and market interest rates, a buyer can compute a bond's present value. Legacy issued $570,000 of 8.5%, four-year bonds at $508,050 when the market rate is 12%. This means that the present value of the bonds is less than the face value because the market rate is higher than the coupon rate.

b. The cash account balance is $4,050.
c. Outstanding checks totaled $1,240.
d. Deposits in transit are $1,690.
e. The bank service charge is $81.
f. A check for $76 for supplies was recorded as $67 in the ledger.
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the bank reconciliation statement is shown below:
Cash balance as per bank $3,510
Add: Deposits in transit $1,690
Less: Outstanding checks -$1240
Adjusted bank balance $3,960
Cash balance as per books $4,050
Less: Bank service charge -$81
Less: Check for supplies error -$9 ($76 - $67)
Adjusted cash balance $3,960
Therefore both the balances are matched
A bank reconciliation ensures agreement between a company's financial records and the bank's records. For Blossom Company, the reconciled balance for July 31, 2022, is $3,960, after taking into account outstanding checks, deposits in transit, bank fees, and a check discrepancy.
A bank reconciliation is a process that ensures a company's financial records are accurate and in agreement with the bank's records. For Blossom Company, let's start with both the bank statement balance and the cash account balance.
Next, we consider the outstanding checks and the deposits in transit. These are transactions that the company recognizes, but the bank has not yet processed. The outstanding checks total $1,240 and the deposits in transit add up to $1,690. We need to subtract the checks from the bank's balance and add the deposits to the bank's balance:
New bank balance = $3,510 - $1,240 (outstanding checks) + $1,690 (deposits in transit) = $3,960
Next, we take into consideration the bank's service charges and any errors in the check record. The bank's service charge is $81, and a check recorded as $67 in the ledger should have been recorded as $76.
New cash account balance = $4,050 - $81 (bank service charge) - $9 (check discrepancy) = $3,960.
From our calculation, both the bank and cash balances match, so the bank reconciliation for July 31, 2022, for Blossom Company is complete, and the reconciled balance is $3,960.
