Feedback

After every transaction check that equation is still in balance. The equation equates to a weight balance that requires both sides to be balanced. An increase on one side either requires an equal decrease on same side or equal increase on other side. The same process for decreases. Increases/decreases are actions affecting an account balance. All transactions involve an exchange.
January 2: Record receipt of cash (increase to asset) in exchange for capital stock (increase to capital stock).
January 3: Record land and warehouse purchases (increase to assets) with payment of cash (decrease to asset).
January 4: Record receipt of cash (increase to asset) with notes payable (increase to liability).
January 6: Record purchase of delivery trucks (increase to asset) with payment of cash (decrease to asset).
January 31: Record service revenue earned (increase to retained earnings) with amount due on account receivable (increase to asset). Revenue is an indirect increase to Retained Earnings.
January 31: Record receipt of cash (increase to asset) with payment on account receivable (decrease to asset).
January 31: Record gas and oil expense (decrease to retained earnings) with amount due on account payable (increase to liability).

1-REVENUE/SALES- Based on economic conditions, she believes that the increase in sales for the current year should approximate the historical trend. (Revenues were 20x6: $11,814 20x5: $9,500, 20x4: $7,800) (Industry sales have been increasing by double digits for the last five years, competitor sales increases have ranges from 10-30% increases year over year for the last 5 years.) Using a reasonableness analytic estimate expected revenue for 2018 using the historical data provided.

2.Based on her knowledge of economic conditions, she is aware that the effective interest rate on the company's Long-term debt, less current maturity for 20X8 was approximately 11 percent. She is aware that the company pays little to no interest on the current portion of the long-term debt. Long-term debt, less current maturity is the company’s only debt, and source of interest expense. Using a reasonableness analytic estimate expected interest expense for 20X8. (Show your calculation, your answer, and if any differences noted are material or not, conclude whether you believe this account is misstated or appears reasonable.)

Tran Technologies licenses its functional intellectual property to Lyon Industries. Terms of the arrangement require Lyon...

Tran Technologies licenses its functional intellectual property to Lyon Industries. Terms of the arrangement require Lyon to pay Tran $570,000 on April 1, 2018, when Lyon first obtains access to Tran’s intellectual property, and then to pay Tran a royalty of 4% of future sales of products that utilize that intellectual property. Tran anticipates receiving sales-based royalties of $1,070,000 during 2018 and $1,570,000/year for the years 2019–2021. Assume Tran accounts for the Lyon license as a right of use, because Tran’s actions subsequent to April 1, 2018, will affect the benefits that Lyon receives from access to Tran’s intellectual property.

Required:

1. Access the FASB Accounting Standards Codification at the FASB website (www.fasb.org). Identify the specific citation for accounting for variable consideration arising from sales-based royalties on licenses of intellectual property, and consider the relevant GAAP. When can Tran recognize revenue from sales-based royalties associated with the Lyon license?
2. What journal entry would Tran record on April 1, 2018, when it receives the $570,000 payment from Lyon?
3. Assume on December 31, 2018, Tran receives $1,070,000 for all sales-based royalties earned from Lyon in 2018. What journal entry would Tran record on December 31, 2018, to recognize any revenue that should be recognized in 2018 with respect to the Lyon license that it has not already recognized?
4. Assume Tran accounts for the Lyon license as a five-year right to access Tran’s symbolic intellectual property from April 1, 2018, through March 31, 2023. Tran expects that its ongoing marketing efforts will affect the value of the license to Lyon during the five-year license period. Repeat requirements 2 and 3.

hello, I need to fill in the blank AS IT IS BELOW!

Lehighton Chalk Company manufactures sidewalk chalk, which it sells online by the box at $25 per unit. Lehighton uses an actual costing system, which means that the actual costs of direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead are entered into work-in-process inventory. The actual application rate for manufacturing overhead is computed each year; actual manufacturing overhead is divided by actual production (in units) to compute the application rate. Information for Lehighton’s first two years of operation is as follows:

Year 1 Year 2
Sales (in units) 2,500 2,500
Production (in units) 3,100 1,900
Production costs:
Variable manufacturing costs $ 15,190 $ 9,310
Fixed manufacturing overhead 18,290 18,290
Selling and administrative costs:
Variable 10,000 10,000
Fixed 9,000 9,000

Selected information from Lehighton’s year-end balance sheets for its first two years of operation is as follows:

LEHIGHTON CHALK COMPANY
Selected Balance Sheet Information
Based on absorption costing End of Year 1 End of Year 2
Finished-goods inventory $ 6,480 $ 0
Retained earnings 11,000 17,720
Based on variable costing End of Year 1 End of Year 2
Finished-goods inventory $ 2,940 $ 0
Retained earnings 7,460 17,720

Required:

Reconcile Lehighton’s operating income reported under absorption and variable costing, during each year, by comparing the following two amounts on each income statement:

Cost of goods sold

Fixed cost (expensed as a period expense)

What was Lehighton’s total operating income across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

What was the total sales revenue across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

What was the total of all costs expensed on the operating income statements across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

Subtract the total costs expensed across both years [requirement (4)] from the total sales revenue across both years [requirement (3)]: (a) under absorption costing and (b) under variable costing.

Considering the results obtained in requirements 1-5 above, select which of the following statements (is) are true by selecting an "X".

6)

Considering the results obtained in requirements 1-5 above, select which of the following statements (is) are true by selecting an "X".

Sales revenue is different depending on the costing method used.
Timing is the key in distinguishing between absorption and variable costing.
Since Lehighton's combined operating income, across the two-year period, is the same under both absorption and variable costing, then the operating income must be the same within each year under both methods.
The difference between absorption and varible costing is caused by the timing with which expenses are recognized.

Assume that the water company expects that in 2020:

a. The number of customers will increase by 5%.

b. Water sales will increase by 4% and late fees will increase by 1% due to increased customer demand.

c. Hydrant fees will decrease by 1% because several older hydrants will be taken out of service.

d. The cost of water sales will increase by 8% because of higher chemical costs.

e. Payroll expenses will increase by 5.5% due to wage increases and higher medical

insurance expenses.

f. Overhead expense will decrease by 4% because of efforts to reduce costs.

g. Miscellaneous expenses are expected to double because of the purchase of building supplies in anticipation of a major waterline project in 2020.

Here are some check figures to help you out:

2020 Total Revenue=1,409,705

2020 Total Expense=1,602,918

2020 Water Sales per customer= $44.27

Total Income<loss> 2020 vs 2019= <$80,588>

Total Income<loss> 2019 vs 2018=<$496,625>

Total Income <loss> as a percentage of total revenue in 2020=-13.71% Total Income <loss> as a percentage of total revenue in 2019=-8.26%

Lehighton Chalk Company manufactures sidewalk chalk, which it sells online by the box at $25 per unit. Lehighton uses an actual costing system, which means that the actual costs of direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead are entered into work-in-process inventory. The actual application rate for manufacturing overhead is computed each year; actual manufacturing overhead is divided by actual production (in units) to compute the application rate. Information for Lehighton’s first two years of operation is as follows:

Year 1 Year 2
Sales (in units) 2,500 2,500
Production (in units) 3,100 1,900
Production costs:
Variable manufacturing costs $ 15,190 $ 9,310
Fixed manufacturing overhead 18,290 18,290
Selling and administrative costs:
Variable 10,000 10,000
Fixed 9,000 9,000

Selected information from Lehighton’s year-end balance sheets for its first two years of operation is as follows:

LEHIGHTON CHALK COMPANY
Selected Balance Sheet Information
Based on absorption costing End of Year 1 End of Year 2
Finished-goods inventory $ 6,480 $ 0
Retained earnings 11,000 17,720
Based on variable costing End of Year 1 End of Year 2
Finished-goods inventory $ 2,940 $ 0
Retained earnings 7,460 17,720

Required:

Reconcile Lehighton’s operating income reported under absorption and variable costing, during each year, by comparing the following two amounts on each income statement:

Cost of goods sold

Fixed cost (expensed as a period expense)

What was Lehighton’s total operating income across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

What was the total sales revenue across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

What was the total of all costs expensed on the operating income statements across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

Subtract the total costs expensed across both years [requirement (4)] from the total sales revenue across both years [requirement (3)]: (a) under absorption costing and (b) under variable costing.

Considering the results obtained in requirements 1-5 above, select which of the following statements (is) are true by selecting an "X".

6)

Considering the results obtained in requirements 1-5 above, select which of the following statements (is) are true by selecting an "X".

Sales revenue is different depending on the costing method used.
Timing is the key in distinguishing between absorption and variable costing.
Since Lehighton's combined operating income, across the two-year period, is the same under both absorption and variable costing, then the operating income must be the same within each year under both methods.
The difference between absorption and varible costing is caused by the timing with which expenses are recognized.

As you know, we have been renting Building X for several years to the Smith Company...

As you know, we have been renting Building X for several years to the Smith Company for $30,000 per year. Their lease expires at the end of the year. Instead of renewing the lease, I have been thinking that we should use that part of our plant to manufacture a new product. The direct materials cost for the new product will total $80 per unit. To have a place to store finished units of the product, we will rent a small warehouse nearby. The rental cost will be $500 per month. In addition, we must rent equipment for use in producing the new product; the rental cost will be $4,000 per month. We will hire workers to manufacture the new product, with the direct labor cost amounting to $60 per unit. The space in Building X will continue to be depreciated on a straight-line basis, as in prior years. This depreciation is $8,000 per year. Advertising costs for the new product will total $50,000 per year. I am going to hire a supervisor to oversee production; her salary will be $3,500 per month. Electricity for operating the machines will be $1 per unit. The cost of shipping the new product to customers will be $9 per unit. To provide funds to purchase materials, meet payroll, and so forth, we will have to liquidate some temporary investments. These investments are presently yielding a return of about $3,000 per year. I would like to sell the new product for $200 per unit. The marketing department thinks that at that price we should be able to sell 4,000 units every year. Please review the costs below and let me know if you think the costs should be classified as a product cost, a period cost, or an opportunity cost (pick one). I also would like to know if the behavior of the product cost or period cost is fixed or variable. Opportunity costs should not be classified as fixed or variable. (Hint: There are two opportunity costs in this problem. They are the two items that are ‘revenue’ in the list of costs.) Name of Cost Variable or Fixed Cost Product Cost Period Cost Opportunity Cost Rental revenue (from Smith Co.) forgone, $30,000 per year Direct materials cost, $80 per unit Rental cost of warehouse, $500 per month Rental cost of equipment, $4,000 per month Direct labor cost, $60 per unit Depreciation of Building X, $8,000 per year Advertising cost, $50,000 per year Supervisor’s salary, $3,500 per month Electricity for machines, $1 per unit Shipping cost, $9 per unit Revenue earned on investments, $3,000 per year Based on the information above, do you think we should manufacture the new product or should we continue to rent to Smith Company? In the space below and on the next pages, please provide me with numbers to support your answer. Are there any costs that are not relevant in this decision? How many units do we need to sell in order to ‘break even?’ Option 1: Continue to rent to Smith Company Rental revenue from Smith _______________ Investment revenue _______________ Total revenue _______________ Expenses: ________________________ _______________ Net operating income _______________ Option 2: Manufacture the new product Henry Hawkins Industries Contribution Format Income Statement: New Product For the Year Total Per Unit Sales (4,000 units) $800,000 $200 Variable expenses: _____________________ _______________ ______ _____________________ _______________ ______ _____________________ _______________ ______ _____________________ _______________ ______ Total variable expenses _______________ ______ Contribution margin _______________ ______ Fixed expenses: _____________________ _______________ _____________________ _______________ _____________________ _______________ _____________________ _______________ _____________________ _______________ Total fixed expenses _______________ Net operating income _______________ Questions: 1.

How many units of the new product do we need to sell in order to ‘break-even?’ (Break-even is where the net operating income is zero.)
