(Calculating The Cost Of Short-term Financing) The R. Morin Construction Company Needs To Borrow
(Calculating the cost of short-term financing) The R. Morin Construction Company needs to borrow 90,000 to help finance the cost of a new 135,000 hydraulic crane used in the firm’s commercial construction business. The crane will pay for itself in one year, and the firm is considering the following alternatives for financing its purchase: Alternative A. The firm’s bank has agreed to lend the $90,000 at a rate of 13 percent. Interest would be discounted, and a 15 percent compensating balance would be required. However, the compensating-balance requirement is not binding on the firm because it normally maintains a minimum demand deposit (checking account) balance of $22,500 in the bank. Alternative B. The equipment dealer has agreed to finance the equipment with a 1-year loan. The 90,000 loan requires payment of principal and interest totaling 104,373. a. Which alternative should Morin select? b. If the bank’s compensating-balance requirement had necessitated idle demand deposits equal to 15 percent of the loan, what effect would this have had on the cost of the bank loan alternative?
Problem 10-7 Pearl Inc. Is A Book Distributor That Had Been Operating In
Problem 10-7 Pearl Inc. is a book distributor that had been operating in its original facility since 1987. The increase in certification programs and continuing education requirements in several professions has contributed to an annual growth rate of 15% for Pearl since 2012. Pearl’ original facility became obsolete by early 2017 because of the increased sales volume and the fact that Pearl now carries CDs in addition to books. On June 1, 2017, Pearl contracted with Black Construction to have a new building constructed for $4,720,000 on land owned by Pearl. The payments made by Pearl to Black Construction are shown in the schedule below. Date Amount July 30, 2017 $1,062,000 January 30, 2018 1,770,000 May 30, 2018 1,888,000 Total payments $4,720,000 Construction was completed and the building was ready for occupancy on May 27, 2018. Pearl had no new borrowings directly associated with the new building but had the following debt outstanding at May 31, 2018, the end of its fiscal year. 10%, 5-year note payable of $2,360,000, dated April 1, 2014, with interest payable annually on April 1. 12%, 10-year bond issue of $3,540,000 sold at par on June 30, 2010, with interest payable annually on June 30. The new building qualifies for interest capitalization. The effect of capitalizing the interest on the new building, compared with the effect of expensing the interest, is material. Compute the weighted-average accumulated expenditures on Pearl’s new building during the capitalization period. Weighted-Average Accumulated Expenditures $ Compute the avoidable interest on Pearl’s new building. (Round intermediate percentage calculation to 1 decimal place, e.g. 15.6% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)

2. It’s Now July 2017 And The ATO Has Now Withdrawn GSTR 2014/3. Amendments
2. It’s now July 2017 and the ATO has now withdrawn GSTR 2014/3. Amendments now need to be made to the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (the GST Act) to remove the ‘double taxation’ of digital currencies. You are specifically advising on what changes of the GST law would be most appropriate to prevent ‘double taxation’. You consider that there are two main options and a possible alternative option that would achieve the objective of removing the ‘double taxation’ of digital currencies. The two main options are to either treat digital currencies as input taxed or to treat them as equivalent to ‘money’ for GST purposes. The alternative option is to treat digital currencies as being GST free. Discuss the positives and negatives of each option. After considering each, which option will you advise government to be the preferred option and why? Please include a bibliography

One Of The Measures Of Success For Any Business Is Profitability. Managers And Business
One of the measures of success for any business is profitability. Managers and business owners must be able to assess the profitability of a company using information about its financial transactions: This is done through accounting. By working through the accounting cycle, you will understand how to organize transactions in a way that communicates the financial position of a company. This information is critical for external stakeholders who may be interested in working for or investing in the business. This process also helps you understand the level of attention to detail that is required in a successful business venture. The final project for this course consists of two major parts: an accounting workbook (Final Project I) and a professional relevance essay (Final Project II). In the accounting workbook, you will use provided information to record journal entries that document financial transactions in a business. To do this, you will follow the business transactions for a three-month period, starting from the first step of the accounting cycle through the reporting process. These transactions include the initial setup of the business, sales, and purchases, payments made to vendors, payments made to store employees, and debt management. In the second part of the final project, you will create a well-crafted essay in which you draw connections between your accounting exercises and their practical applications for furthering your own professional practice. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final products will be submitted in Modules Seven and Eight. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: ACC-201-01: Record financial data that accurately captures business transactions according to accepted accounting principles ACC-201-02: Apply the accrual basis of accounting to correctly create adjusting entries in the preparation of financial statements ACC-201-03: Create financial statements by properly employing prescribed methods in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles Prompt Your dog, Peyton, has severe allergies and cannot have the usual store-bought dog treats. You have been making homemade treats for him that are all-natural and hypoallergenic. Over the past year, you have been making and selling these treats out of your home, and you have been quite successful. You now have an opportunity to open your own dog treat bakery. You have decided on a corporate form of business and have named your company “Peyton Approved.” 2 Use accepted accounting principles to follow and record your business transactions for a three-month period from the first step of the accounting cycle through the reporting process. Enter your transactions in the workbook provided. Your completed workbook will consist of journal entries for each transaction, and postings of transactions to account ledgers. You will develop a trial balance from ledger balances and adjust revenue and expense accounts, as necessary, to ensure that revenues and expenses are reported in the appropriate period under the accrual accounting method. The adjusted trial balance will be used to prepare the income statement, the statement of owner’s equity, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. After the preparation of the financial statements, closing entries will be entered to transfer earnings to equity and prepare temporary accounts for the new accounting period. You will find the provided data for your workbook in the appendix at the end of this document. The data have been separated from the prompt so that you can more easily view the full scope of the project. Links have been provided to help you locate the information you need for each step.
