On April 24 of the current year, The Memphis Pecan Company experienced a tornado that destroyed the company's entire inventory.

At the beginning of April, the company reported beginning inventory of $228,350. Inventory purchased during April (until the date of the tornado) was $199,400. Sales for the month of April through April 24 were $644,100. Assuming the company's typical gross profit ratio is 50%, estimate the amount of inventory destroyed in the tornado.

The total value of the inventory lost in the tornado is $105,700. Explanation: The relationship is captured in this equation: Beginning inventory + inventory purchases + Gross profit = Sales + ending inventory. Plugging in the figures, $228,350 + $199,400 + $322,050 = $644,100 + ending inventory resolves to $749,800 = $644,100 + ending inventory. Thus, determining that the ending inventory amounts to $749,800 - $644,100 results in $105,700. The gross profit is calculated as Gross profit percentage multiplied by sales: 50% multiplied by $644,100 yields $322,050. Since the inventory was destroyed in the tornado, we assume the ending inventory lost corresponds to $105,700.

Nady [2940]
Response: $11,200

Justification:

Utilizing the accounting equation:

(Total Assets) = (Total Liabilities) + (Total Capital)

Thus,

(Total Liabilities) = (Total Assets) - (Total Capital)    (1)

To determine total liabilities, we first need to ascertain total assets and total capital.

At the end of the first year, the assets of Shapiro's consulting services are as follows:

Cash:                              $16,000
Office Supplies:                $3,200
Equipment:                     $24,000
Accounts Receivable:       $8,000
TOTAL ASSETS            $51,200

Note that total assets are calculated by summing the values of each asset above.

Net income represents an increase (or decrease if it's a loss) in capital, thus we classify it as part of capital. Specifically, net income at the end of the first year adds to the initial capital.

The owner's withdrawal also decreases the capital. 

Consequently, total capital at the end of the first year is computed as:

Capital (beginning of the year):            $15,000
Net Income (end of year):           $27,000   
Withdrawal Amount:                    ($2,000)
TOTAL CAPITAL:                       $40,000

Note: The notation ($2,000) indicates a deduction of $2,000 in accounting terms.

Using (1), total liabilities at the end of the first year can be calculated as

(Total Liabilities) = (Total Assets) - (Total Capital)
                           = $51,200 - $40,000
Total Liabilities = $11,200

A company has retained earnings of $94,000 as of December 31, 2014. The Pro-forma income statement projects net income of $22,00
marusya05 [3075]

Answer:

$46,000.

Explanation:

To determine the retained earnings as of the end of 2015, we must first assess the total dividend that will be distributed to shareholders, and then combine the net income from 2015 with the leftover retained earnings from the conclusion of 2014 (after the distribution of 2014's dividend in March 2015) to arrive at the retained earnings figure for the close of 2015.

Total dividend on March 2015 = 0.7 x 100,000 = 70,000

Retained Earnings as of the end of 2015 = 94,000 - 70,000 + 22,000 = 46,000.

Nady [2940]

Answer:

Eiffel Corporation

Tax implications for Tower:

Withholding tax = €2,500 x $1.50 = $3,750.00

Domestic Corporation tax = 156,712.50

Overall tax effect = $160,462.50

Explanation:

a) Inputs and Calculations:

Dividend = €500,000

Withholding tax = €2,500

After withholding tax = €497,500

Exchange rate = €1 = $1.50

Consequently, net dividend after withholding tax = €497,500 x $1.50

= $746,250

Corporate tax rate = 21% of $746,250

= $156,712.50

Tower incurs a withholding tax of $3,750 when converted to dollars and faces a corporation tax on earnings amounting to $156,712.50, calculated under the TCJA tax rate of 21%, a reduction from the previous 35%.
