Exercise 9-25

Metlock Company began operations late in 2016 and adopted the conventional retail inventory method. Because there was no beginning inventory for 2016 and no markdowns during 2016, the ending inventory for 2016 was $13,818 under both the conventional retail method and the LIFO retail method. At the end of 2017, management wants to compare the results of applying the conventional and LIFO retail methods. There was no change in the price level during 2017. The following data are available for computations.

Compute the cost of the 2017 ending inventory under both:

(a) The conventional retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

(b) The LIFO retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

Interest on the bonds is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30. The fiscal year of the company is the calendar year. Required: 1. Journalize the entry to record the amount of cash proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on July 1, 2016.* 2. Journalize the entries to record the following:* a. The first semiannual interest payment on December 31, 2016, and the amortization of the bond premium, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.) b. The interest payment on June 30, 2017, and the amortization of the bond premium, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.) 3. Determine the total interest expense for 2016. 4.

1. Grant Inc. issued $400,000 of 6% bonds on June 30, 2016. The bonds mature in 10 years. For bonds of similar risk and maturity, the market interest rate is 4%. Interest is paid semiannually on December 31 and June 30. (i.e., the first interest payment will be made on December 31, 2016). For all computations, ignore below decimal point.

a) Determine whether the company sold the bond at discount or premium

b) Determine the price of the bonds at June 30, 2016 and prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.

c) Prepare the journal entry to record interest on December 31, 2016 by using effective interest method

d) Prepare the journal entry to record interest on June 30, 2017 by using effective interest method

e) Grant Inc. did not hold the bond to maturity and retired the bond on July 1, 2017, at 105 (i.e., 105% of face value). Prepare the journal entry to record the extinguishment of the bonds on July 1, 2017. Ignore one-day interest between June 30 and July 1. In other words, the carrying value of the bonds as of June 30, 2017 (computed in question d) should be eliminated by the extinguishment of the bonds on July 1, 2017.

Problem 12-02
AFN equation

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $8.2 million in 2016 to $10.25 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $5 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 60%. What would be the additional funds needed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
