Venezuela Co. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,500,000. It received a down payment of $500,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $2,000,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,000,000 of 8%, 10 year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2014, and pay interest annually on each January 1, starting January 1, 2015. The bonds yield 10%. Venezuela paid $48,000 in bond issue costs related to the bond sale. Instructions a) Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds and the related bond issue costs incurred on January 1, 2014. b) Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2018, using the effective interest method. c) Assume that on July 1, 2017, Venezuela Co. redeems half of the bonds at a cost of $980,000 plus accrued interest. Prepare the journal entry to record this redemption.

Cost of Units Completed and in Process

The charges to Work in Process—Assembly Department for a period, together with information concerning production, are as follows. All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production.

Cost per equivalent units of $1.40 for Direct Materials and $4.10 for Conversion Costs.

a. Based on the above data, determine the different costs listed below.

If required, round your interim calculations to two decimal places.

b. Did the production costs change from the preceding period?

c. Assuming that the direct materials cost per unit did not change from the preceding period, did the conversion costs per equivalent unitincrease, decrease, or remain the same for the current period?

Daily Enterprises is purchasing a$ 9.6million machine. It will cost $54,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using​ straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of$ 4.1 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.1 million per year.​ Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new​ machine?

The free cash flow for year 0 will be ​$

​(Round to the nearest​ dollar.)

Discuss the dangers of product cost distortion.

What can be done to minimize it?

A variance is the difference between a budgeted, planned, or standard cost and the actual amount
incurred/sold. Variances can be computed for both costs and revenues. Identify and explain the types
of variance analysis tools, which can be used in a production department of a manufacturing company,

(25 pts) Your corporation is considering the purchase of land for the cost of $60,000 and you estimate that 6 years from now there is a 100% probability to sell the land for $165,000. Holding costs consist of property taxes of $2000 each year. Assume that your corporation is in the 21% effective ordinary tax bracket and that profit from the sale of the land in 6 years will be taxed as ordinary income (ignore capital gain taxes, depreciation, deduction for interest expense), and your minimum rate of return is 14%. Determine:

a) What is the return on investment and NPV if paying cash for the land?

b) What is the return on investment and NPV if you borrowed $48,000 of the $60,000 at 8% interest per year with a mortgage agreement that provides monthly payments over 10 years. Assume the loan is paid off at the end of year 6 when you sell the property.

c) Is this an acceptable investment project and why?

d) Suppose that upon further analysis, there is an 85% probability that the land will sell for $200,000 at the end of year 6. What is the resulting cash and leverage NPV & ROR?

e) How does the analysis change; and is it still an acceptable project and why?

All answers should be calculated in excel

-I thought I had it figured out but my answers look ridiculous! Any help would be deeply appreciated!

a) What is meant by Cost minimization for a given level of production and Product maximization for a given level of cost? Offer an example.

Is cost minimization equivalent or identical the concept of product maximization. True of False. Explain. Please offer examples and the use of graphs where necessary, and state any assumption(s) that you need to arrive at your conclusion.

What is the average accounting rate of return(APR) on a piece of equipment that will cost $ 1.2 million and that will result in pretax cost savings of $380,000 for the first three years and then $280,000 for the following three years? Assume that the machinery will be depreciated to a salvage value of 0 over six years using the straight line method and the company’s tax rate if 32 percent. If the acceptance decision is based on the project exceeding an APR OF 20 percent, should this machinery be purchased?
