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 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 | |||||

I. Excel Analysis (Please submit your answers with the excel file provided for you in Ilearn entitled "North Central Financial Results- Student Copy".
Based on the financial results provided above, complete the excel spreadsheet file provided to you and submit your file in Ilearn. Please include include your name in the filename.
.
Required:
1. Calculate each revenue and expense item as a percentage of total revenues in 2019 and 2018 (show percentages out to TWO decimal places for all revenues and expenses, but round total revenue's percentage to ZERO decimal places- see examples in spreadsheet).
2. Calculate the water sales per customer for 2019 and 2018 (show number out to TWO decimal places- see example in spreadsheet).
3. Calculate the company's budgeted financial performance for 2020 based on the assumptions listed below for each revenue and expense item. Then calculate each item as a percentage of total revenues just like you did for 2019 and 2018. Then calculate the water sales per customer for 2020 just as you did for 2019 and 2018- see examples in spreadsheet.
4. Finally, calculate the differences in each revenue and expense item between 2020 and 2019, and 2019 and 2018- see example in spreadsheet. This will provide you with some insight about the year-to-year changes and help you with your business memo which is the second part of this project.
You must use formulas in the excel spreadsheet rather typing-in calculated numbers to get
full credit. You will also run into rounding errors unless you use formulas. Some formulas
and calculated numbers have already been included in the spreadsheet to help you. YOU
SHOULD HAVE AN ANSWER WHEREVER YOU SEE A QUESTION MARK (?)
ASSUMPTIONS:
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:

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".

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. Do you recommend Option 1 or Option 2? 2. Which cost is not relevant to the decision? (Hint: which cost shows up in both options.) 3. 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.)
