Answer:
to recognize the effects of inflation
Explanation:
The nominal rate of interest is the interest earned before adjusting for inflation. The nominal interest rate is simple to recognize and calculate. It is the rate quoted on loans, deposits, bonds, and mutual funds. The nominal rate communicates to the investor the percentage of returns to expect from their investment. The higher the percentage, the better the returns. However, nominal interest does not take account of inflation.
Inflation erode the purchasing power of money. A high inflation rate will mean that any investment gains may not benefit the investor as the currency will have weakened. The real interest rate considers inflation rates. It tells the investor the actual gain from an investment after adjusting for inflation.

To recognize the effects inflation.

B. raises the retirement age to claim full benefits to 70
C. enables Americans to invest their Social Security contributions in the stock market
D. reduces benefits across the board by 13 percent
E. obtains a loan from the Fed
Answer:
the answer is C because it makes sense...
Enables Americans to invest their Social Security contributions in the stock market - describes the privatization of Social Security. Hence option C is correct.
What are the characteristic of the privatization of Social Security?Privatization of Social Security refers to a proposal where individuals are allowed to invest their Social Security contributions into individual retirement accounts (IRAs) or other investments instead of the government-managed Social Security Trust Fund.
Under this system, individuals would have control over their retirement funds and would be able to invest in the stock market, bonds, and other financial instruments. This would also mean that individuals would be responsible for managing their own retirement funds and bearing the associated risks.
Options A and B do not describe privatization but rather refer to potential changes in the current Social Security system. A reduction in benefits, which is not necessarily associated with privatization. Option E is not related to the privatization of Social Security at all, but rather refers to obtaining a loan from the Federal Reserve.

Suppose that lower production costs increases the supply of wheat, such that more wheat is supplied at each price level. After the increase in supply, the equilibrium quantity _____.
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity Increase
Explanation:
Equilibrium quantity is the level of supply that's meet the market demand of a product. At equilibrium quantity, there is no excess supply nor shortage in quantity supplied.
Should the cost of producing wheat decline, farmers will supply more wheat in the market. An increase in supply without a corresponding increase in demand results in reduced prices. Many suppliers will complete with few buyers. Due to a decline in prices, the equilibrium quantity increases because farmers will sell more quantities at the new low prices. The supply and demand curves will intersect a higher position in the graph, reflecting the new point where increased supply meets the demand at lower prices.

The city of Ashkelon, on the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, is one of the major cities of the Philistines. A powerful merchant family (known henceforth as The Family) of this city has to decide how to allocate its vast but finite resources to further their own wealth and the glory and influence of their state. Some trade routes use camel caravans and go to the southern deserts, where they may trade in salt and gold with the great inland African nations; others may go north and west, oversea by galley, toward the Greeks; others may push their foul-mouthed, humped mounts east, overland toward Sumeria, to trade in spices and the crafted goods specific to that region. Some of the routes are over more arduous terrain than others, so make take longer to pay off (no revenue is realized by The Family until the caravan returns to Ashkelon). The financial costs and returns of each route are as follows (in Phils, the currency of the Philistines):
Route Costs, Period 0 Revenue, Period1 Revenue, Period 2 Revenue, Period 3
African Route -75,000 215,000
Greek Route -50,000 140,000
Sumerian Route -125,000 385,000
Costs are incurred at the end of year zero, and revenues accrue at the end of Periods 1, 2, and 3, for each respective route (for instance, the African caravan returns at the end of period two, at which time its revenue is realized). The discount rate for the shipping company is 5%.
Required:
a. Calculate the NPV, B/C ratio, Payback period, and IRR for each route option.
b. Rank the route options according to NPV, B/C ratio, Payback period, and IRR.
c. If the company had unlimited funds, which trade routes would you recommend the family pursue? Why? Be sure to consider all combinations of routes, including multiple caravans on the same trade route.
d. Given that the family can only invest 150,000 Phils, which combination of trade routes would you recommend pursuing? Why?
Answer:
African Route costs = -75,000, period 1 revenues = 215,000
Greek Route costs = -50,000, period 2 revenues = 140,000
Sumerian Route costs = -125,000, period 3 revenues = 385,000
discount rate = 5%
a) African route:
NPV = -75,000 + 215,000/1.05 = 129,762
B/C ratio = 215/75 = 2.87
Payback = 1 period
IRR = 187%
Greek route:
NPV = -50,000 + 140,000/1.05² = 76,984
B/C ratio = 140/50 = 2.8
Payback = 2 periods
IRR = 67%
Sumerian route
NPV = -125,000 + 385,000/1.05³ = 332,577
B/C ratio = 385/125 = 3.08
Payback = 3 periods
IRR = 45%
b) rank according to:
NPV = Sumerian route, African route, Greek route
B/C ratio = Sumerian route, African route, Greek route
Payback = African route, Greek route, Sumerian route
IRR = African route, Greek route, Sumerian route
c) if the family had unlimited resources, they should invest in the 3 routes since all their NPVs are positive.
d) African and Greek routes since they yield the highest gains (IRR).

Time period used to compute indirect cost rates. Capitola Manufacturing produces surfboards. The company uses a normal-costing system and allocates manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct manufacturing labor-hours. Most of the company's production and sales occur in the first and second quarters of the year. The company is in danger of losing one of its larger customers, Pacific Wholesale, due to large fluctuations in price. The owner of Capitola has requested an analysis of the manufacturing cost per unit in the second and third quarters. You have been provided the following budgeted information for the coming year:
Quarter
1 2 3 4
Surfboards manufactured and sold 500 400 100 250
It takes 2 direct manufacturing labor-hours to make each board. The actual direct material cost is $65.00 per board. The actual direct manufacturing labor rate is $20 per hour. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $16 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs are $20,000 each quarter.
1. Calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit for the second and third quarters assuming the company allocates manufacturing overhead costs based on the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate determined for each quarter.
2. Calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit for the second and third quarters assuming the company allocates manufacturing overhead costs based on an annual budgeted manufacturing overhead rate.
3. Capitola Manufacturing prices its surfboards at manufacturing cost plus 20%. Why might Pacific Wholesale be seeing large fluctuations in the prices of boards? Which of the methods described in requirements 1 and 2 would you recommend Capitola use? Explain.
Answer:
1) production cost per unit (Q2) = $187
production cost per unit (Q3) = $337
2) production cost per unit (Q2) = $201
production cost per unit (Q3) = $201
3) Capitola should allocate manufacturing costs based on total annual production because if it allocates them on a quarterly basis, the unit costs in the quarters were production is lower will be much higher. E.g. in Q3 only 100 units were produced, therefore production costs are 80% higher than Q2 costs. If costs are allocated on an annual basis, then production costs will be stable and the company will benefit. The company actually lost money when it sold its production during quarters 1 and 2 since overhead costs were not correctly applied.
Explanation:

Units produced 500 400 100 250
costs per unit:
2 labor hours x $20 = $40direct materials = $65variable overhead = $16total = $121 per unit
fixed overhead = $20,000
1) total production costs second quarter:
materials = 400 x $65 = $26,000
direct labor = 400 x $40 = $16,000
variable overhead = 400 x 2 x $16 = $12,800
fixed overhead = $20,000
total = $74,800
production cost per unit (Q2) = $187
total production costs third quarter:
materials = 100 x $65 = $6,500
direct labor = 100 x $40 = $4,000
variable overhead = 100 x 2 x $16 = $3,200
fixed overhead = $20,000
total = $33,700
production cost per unit (Q3) = $337
2) total production costs second quarter:
materials = 400 x $65 = $26,000
direct labor = 400 x $40 = $16,000
variable overhead = 400 x 2 x $16 = $12,800
fixed overhead = ($80,000 / 1,250) x 400 = $25,600
total = $80,400
production cost per unit (Q2) = $201
total production costs third quarter:
materials = 100 x $65 = $6,500
direct labor = 100 x $40 = $4,000
variable overhead = 100 x 2 x $16 = $3,200

You’ve observed the following returns on Yamauchi Corporation’s stock over the past five years: −10 percent, 24 percent, 21 percent, 11 percent, and 8 percent. The average inflation rate over this period was 3.1 percent and the average T-bill rate over the period was 4.1 percent. a. What was the average real return on the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What was the average nominal risk premium on the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Year Return
1 -0.10
2 0.24
3 0.21
4 0.11
5 0.06
0.540
Average return = 0.540 / 5
Average return =0.108
Average return = 10.80%
a. Average Real Return = [( 1 + Average return) / (1+ inflation rate)] - 1
Average Real Return = [(1+0.1080)/(1+0.081)] - 1
Average Real Return = 0.0747
Average Real Return = 7.47%
b. Average Nominal Risk Premium = Average Return - Risk free rate
Average Nominal Risk Premium = 0.1080 - 0.041
Average Nominal Risk Premium = 0.067
Average Nominal Risk Premium = 6.70%
The average real return on the stock is 7.47% while the average nominal risk premium on the stock is 6.70%.
From the information given, the average return will be calculated thus:
= 0.540 / 5
= 0.108
Average return = 10.80%
Therefore, the average real return will be:
= [( 1 + Average return) / (1+ inflation rate)] - 1
= [(1+0.1080) / (1+0.081)] - 1
= 0.0747
= 7.47%
Also, the average nominal risk premium will be:
= Average Return - Risk free rate
= 0.1080 - 0.041
= 0.067
= 6.70%
Therefore, the average real return on the stock is 7.47% while the average nominal risk premium on the stock is 6.70%.

Royal Company wants to raise $51.5MM to open a plant overseas. To achieve this goal, the company decides to do an underwritten IPO to raise the funds. It hires an investment bank, who estimates that legal, accounting, SEC, taxes and other direct costs will be $1,455,000. Royal anticipates that its indirect costs associated with the process will total $587,934. The investment bank also estimates that the IPO shares can be priced at $31 per share. Royal Company agrees to pay the investment bank a 9.5% spread. How much money does Royal Company actually receive from the IPO after direct expenses
Answer: $51.5MM
Explanation:
Royal Company wants to raise $51.5MM for the plant and this is the amount they will receive from the IPO after direct expenses.
As for the Direct expenses, Royal Company will raise an amount that will account for the amount of $51.5MM that they want to raise and still pay off any expenses (including direct expenses) that arise.
In other words, They will raise more than $51.5MM so that they may be able to get $51.5MM.

Determine the present value, assuming that John desires an 11% rate of return on this investment. (Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
$763,057
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1-6 = $89,000
Cash flow in year 7 = 79,000
Cash flow in year 8 = 69,000
Cash flow in year 9= 59,000
Cash flow in year 10 = 49,000 + $790,000 = 839,000
I = 11%
Present value = $763,057
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Calculate GDP, NDP, NI, PI, and DI from the following information. All numbers are in billions of dollars. Wages $ 26,500 Consumption Expenditures $36,000 Government Expenditures $18,500 Imports $20,330 Exports $18,580 Property Taxes $16,000 Sales Taxes $9,715 Retained earnings $1,310 Personal Income Taxes $2,200 Private Domestic Investment Expenditures $15,650 Interest Income $1,940 Pay Roll taxes $1,300 Transfer Payments $880 Depreciation $1,300 Net Income Made Abroad by Americans $160 Indirect Business taxes $2,520 Corporate Income Taxes $320 2. Calculate a) labor force, b) labor force participation rate, and c) unemployment rate if the population of a country is 380 million people out which 92 million are under the age of 16, 58 million don't want to work and 20 million are looking for work. 3. Calculate the inflation rate from 2004-2005 if the index number in 2005 was 120 and the index number in 2004 was 135.
Answer:
GDP = Consumption expenditure + Private Investment Expenditure + Government expenditure + Export - Import
= $36,000 + $15,650 + $18,500 + $18,580 - $20,330
= $68,400
NDP = GDP - Depreciation
= $68,400 - $1,300
= $67,100
NI = NDP - Indirect business tax - Transfer payment + Net income Made abroad by Americans
= $67,100 - $2,520 - $880 + $160
= $63,860
PI = NI - Corporate income tax - Retained earnings + Transfer payments
= $63,860 - $320 - $1,310 + $880
= $63,119
DI = PI - Personal income Taxes
= $63,119 - $2,200
= $60,910
a. Labor force = Total Population - (People under age of 16 + People who don’t work)
Labor force = $380 million - ($92 million + $58 million)
Labor force = $230 million.
b. Labor force participation rate = Labor force/ Total population
Labor force participation rate = (60/100) * 100
Labor force participation rate = 60%
c. Unemployment rate = (Unemployed / Labor force) * 100
Unemployment rate = ($20 million / $230 million) * 100
Unemployment rate = 8.69%

Fill in the blank without $ or comma or period, e.g., 12345 What was Job# 82's total manufacturing cost in August using normal costing?
Answer:
$12,400
Explanation:
The computation of Job 82's total manufacturing cost in August using normal costing us shown below:-
Overhead rate = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Budgeted Labor cost
= $672,000 ÷ 1,680,000
= 40%
Applied overhead = 6000 × 40%
= 2,400
The Total cost of Job 82 = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $4,000 + $6,000 + $2,400
= $12,400

C) Both the two methods provides the same net income each year
Explanation:
1. Preparation of the journal entries for both December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2020, assuming that the inventory is recorded at market, and perpetual inventory system
First step is to compute for inventory to market for December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020
December 31, 2019
Cost of inventory at 12/31/19 $356,000
Less:Lower of cost or market at 12/31/19 (327,000)
Allowance amount needed to reduce inventoryto market (a)$29,000
December 31, 2020
Cost of inventory at 12/31/20 $420,000
Less: Lower of cost or market at 12/31/20(395,000)
Allowance amount needed to reduce inventoryto market (b)$25,000
Second step is to find the Recovery of previously recognized loss amount
Recovery of previously recognized loss = (a) – (b)
Recovery of previously recognized loss= $29,000 - $25,000
Recovery of previously recognized loss= $4,000
Now let prepare the Journal entry for December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020

Refer to the following items on the balance sheets of a firm for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019.
Item 2018 2019
Accounts Payable $729,500 $917,300
Long Term Debt $1,267,700 $1,093,400
Common Stock ($1 par) $2,184,000 $2,471,300
Retained Earnings $3,227,100 $3,419,800
If the firm's interest expense on its 2019 income statement was $312,920, calculate the net cash flow to the firm's creditors in 2019.
a) $312,920
b) $138,620
c) $425,920
d) $487,220
Answer: d) $487,220
Explanation:
The net cash flow to creditors in 2019 is calculated by the formula;
= Long term debt in 2018 - Long term debt in 2019 + Interest expense in 2019
= 1,267,700 - 1,093,400 + 312,920
= $487,220
Jason Day Company had bonds outstanding with a maturity value of $300,000. On April 30, 2020, when these bonds had an unamortized discount of $10,000, they were called in at 104. To pay for these bonds, Day had issued other bonds a month earlier bearing a lower interest rate. The newly issued bonds had a life of 10 years. The new bonds were issued at 103 (face value $300,000).
Required:
Compute the gain or loss.
Answer: Loss of $22,000
Explanation:
Gain (loss) = Net Carrying Value of Bonds recalled - Price bond called at
Net Carrying Value of Bonds
= Par value - Unamortized discount
= 300,000 - 10,000
= $290,000
Gain (loss) = 290,000 - (300,000 * 104)
= ($22,000)
Dorcan Corporation manufactures and sells T-shirts imprinted with college names and slogans. Last year, the shirts sold for $8.40 each, and the variable cost to manufacture them was $2.25 per unit. The company needed to sell 20,600 shirts to break-even. The after tax net income last year was $5,220. Donnelly's expectations for the coming year include the following: (CMA adapted) The sales price of the T-shirts will be $12. Variable cost to manufacture will increase by one-third. Fixed costs will increase by 10%. The income tax rate of 40% will be unchanged. The selling price that would maintain the same contribution margin ratio as last year is:
Answer:
$11.23
Explanation:
Calculation for the selling price that would maintain the same contribution margin ratio as last year
Selling price per unit = $8.40
Variable cost per unit = $2.25
First step is to the Contribution margin per unit using this formula
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit= $8.40-$2.25
Contribution margin per unit = $6.15
Second step is to find the Contribution margin ratio using this formula
Contribution margin ratio= Contribution margin / Selling price per unit
Contribution margin ratio= $6.15/$8.40
Contribution margin ratio= 0.73*100
Contribution margin ratio=73%
Third step is to calculate for the Increase in variable cost per unit For coming year
Variable cost per unit will increase by 1/3
Increase in variable cost per unit = 6.15 x 1/3
Increase in variable cost per unit= $2.05
Variable cost per unit = 6.15+2.05
Variable cost per unit = $8.2
Last step is to find the selling price per unit using this formula
Selling price per unit =Variable cost per unit /Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Selling price per unit = $8.2/0.73
Selling price per unit= $11.23
Therefore the selling price that would maintain the same contribution margin ratio as last year is $11.23

Matt inherited as a trust a fifteen-year annuity-immediate with annual payments. He has been told that the annuity payments earn compound interest at a level rate and that at the end of fifteen years, their accumulated value will be $37,804.39. He has further been assured that figured at this same rate of interest, the value of his inheritance was $15,077.10. The trust executor will not reveal the amount of the annual payments. Determine this amount and also the annual effective interest rate earned by the annuity payments.
Answer:
effective annual interest rate = 6.32%
annual payment = $1,585
Explanation:
I believe that this is an ordinary annuity, so we can use the future and present value of an ordinary annuity formula:
FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor, so annual payment = FV / FV annuity factor
PV = annual payment x PV annuity factor, so annual payment = PV / PV annuity factor
we can equal both equations:
PV / PV annuity factor = FV / FV annuity factor
FV / PV = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor
$37,804.39 / $15,077.10 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor
2.5074 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor
the easiest way to solve this is to use an annuity table since we already know that there are 15 periods (I used an excel spreadsheet):
%,15 periods FV annuity factor PV annuity factor FV/PV
1 16.097 13.865 1.1609
2 17.293 12.849 1.34586
3 18.599 11.938 1.55797
4 20.024 11.118 1.80104
5 21.579 10.380 2.07890
6 23.276 9.7122 2.3966

9 29.361 8.0607 3.6425
10 31.772 7.6061 4.4112
The interest rate must be between 6 and 7%:
%,15 periods FV annuity factor PV annuity factor FV/PV
6 23.276 9.7122 2.3966
6.1 23.45404 9.6461 2.43145

6.32 23.85135 9.51236 2.5074
6.4 23.99773 9.46337 2.53585
effective interest rate = 6.32% per year
annual payment = $37,804.39 / 23.85135 = $1,585
A dry cleaner uses exponential smoothing to forecast equipment usage at its main plant. August usage was forecasted to be 46 percent of capacity; actual usage was 56 percent of capacity. A smoothing constant of .05 is used.
a. Prepare a forecast for September. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Forecast for September percent of capacity
b. Assuming actual September usage of 64 percent, prepare a forecast for October usage. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Forecast for October percent of capacity
Answer:
a. Forecast (t) = ∝Actual (t-1) +b (1 - ∝) * Forecast (t-1)
= 0.05 * 56 +(1 - 0.05) * 46
= 2.8 + 0.95*46
= 2.8 + 43.7
= 46.5
Forecast for September is 46.5%
b. Forecast(t) = ∝Actual (t-1) + (1-∝)*Forecast(t-1)
= 0.05 * 64 + (1-0.05) * 46.5
= 3.2 + (0.95)*46.5
= 3.2 + 44.175
= 47.375
= 47.40
Forecast for October is 47.40%
Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. If you are entering a negative number include a minus sign. a. Using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand from a price of $4.00 to a price of $4.50 per iced coffee? , and demand is said to be price (Click to select) . b. Using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand from a price of $2.00 to a price of $3.00 per iced coffee? , and demand is said to be price (Click to select) . c. Using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand from a price of $0.50 to a price of $1.00 per iced coffee? , and demand is said to be price (Click to select) .
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The graph is attached below.
a) The price elasticity of demand is given by:
price elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{\%\ change\ in\ quantity }{\%\ change\ in\ price}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta Q=\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{(Q_2+Q_1)/2} \\\\\Delta P=\frac{P_2-P_1}{(P_2+P_1)/2}[/tex]
Price of elasticity demand = [tex]\frac{\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{(Q_2+Q_1)/2} }{\frac{P_2-P_1}{(P_2+P_1)/2} }[/tex]
Price of elasticity demand = [tex]\frac{\frac{50-100}{(50+100)/2} }{\frac{4.5-4}{(4.5+4.0)/2} }=\frac{-0.6667}{0.1176} =5.7[/tex]
Since the price of elasticity demand > 1, it is elastic
b) Price of elasticity demand = [tex]\frac{\frac{200-300}{(200+300)/2} }{\frac{3-2}{(3+2)/2} }=\frac{-0.4}{0.4} =1[/tex]
Since the price of elasticity demand = 1, it is unitary
c) Price of elasticity demand = [tex]\frac{\frac{400-450}{(400+450)/2} }{\frac{1-0.5}{(1+0.5)/2} }=\frac{-0.1176}{0.6667} =0.18[/tex]
Since the price of elasticity demand < 1, it is inelastic
Mickey is a 12-year-old dialysis patient. Three times a week for the entire year he and his mother, Sue, drive 20 miles one way to Mickey’s dialysis clinic. On the way home, they go 10 miles out of their way to stop at Mickey’s favorite restaurant. Their total round trip is 50 miles per day. How many of those miles, if any, can Sue use to calculate an itemized deduction for transportation? Use the mileage rate in effect for 2019.
Answer:
The right approach will be "$ 1123.2".
Explanation:
The number of miles to be used will be:
= [tex]40 \ miles \ round \ trip\times 3 \ trips \ per \ week\times 52 weeks[/tex]
= [tex]6240 \ miles[/tex]
Now,
The item deduction will be:
= [tex]Number \ of \ used \ miles\times 18 \ cents \ per \ mile[/tex]
= [tex]6240\times 1123.2[/tex]
= [tex]1123.2[/tex] ($)

What is one main objective in the study of economics?
recognizing the types of services available to everyone
recognizing the relationship between producers and consumers
recognizing the reasons why consumers supply services
recognizing the difference between producers and consumers
Answer: brecognizing the difference between producers and consumers
Explanation:
Economics is the part of social studies that helps us for knowing the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services to the targeted customers. it mainly focuses upon the environmental and market factor that helps in the marketing and production of goods and services.
One of the main objectives for the study of economics is to recognize the difference between the producer and the consumers.
Reason:
The main objective of economics is to determine and bifurcate the producer and consumer as they are both different.
The producer is the person who is making the finished goods from the raw materials. The producer takes the raw materials either from the market or from the farmer. The entire cost of goods is determined by the producer by the name of the direct cost of goods.
While the consumer is the final user of the produced items. The consumer is the last person in the product cycle. The consumer has to pay the entire cost and expenses being added by various parties of the product cycle.

Kingbird Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Kingbird also provides installation service for the windows The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Kingbird enters into the following contract on July 1, 2017, with a local homeowner.
The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,470 and chooses Kingbird to do the installation. Kingbird charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $580. The customer pays Kingbird $1,940 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,050) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2017, Kingbird completes installation on October 15, 2017, and the customer pays the balance due.
Prepare the journal entries for Kingbird in 2017.
Answer:

To record the cost of goods sold.
Oct. 15, 2017:
Debit Cash Account $530
Credit Service Revenue $530
To record the service revenue earned for installation of windows.
Explanation:
Since Kingbird's selling price equals $1,940, which the customer pays in advance, this amount is taken as the sales revenue. Though the stand-alone price of installation is estimated to be $580, only $530 is recorded as revenue for installation because the $580 remains an estimate of a stand-alone item.
