a) A partnership.
Explanation:
A partnership occurs when two or more entities jointly manage a business and share its profits. In contrast, a joint venture involves two or more parties collaborating, pooling resources to achieve a particular objective. A sole proprietorship denotes a single owner who retains all profits and bears unlimited liability, while a limited liability company restricts liability to the invested amount for its members. Given these details, it's evident that the law practice established by Mike and Steve is classified as a partnership due to their shared control and profit-sharing arrangement.
Answer:
Journal Entries
1) Debit Salary Expense $6,667 Credit Bank $6,667
2) Debit Fuel and Maintenance Expense $600, Credit Bank $600
3) Debit Depreciation Expense $amount Credit Accumulated Depreciation $amount
4) Debit Insurance Expense $amount Credit Bank $amount
5) Debit Benefit Expense $amount Credit Accrued Benefit Expense $amount
6) Debit Accounts Receivable (total of all trips) $amount Credit Service Revenue $amount
Explanation:
The prompt is not complete, but I will create typical journal entries for the transactions without numerical figures.
1) The salary represents one month, and the in brackets is a $80,000*1/12 calculation showing that the $80,000 is annual; should this have been already recorded, we would debit salaries payable $6,667 and credit bank $6,667
4) Insurance expense is debited if paid as incurred, but if there's a Prepaid Insurance account, we credit the Prepaid Insurance account instead of Bank.
Answer:
a) 120 skiers daily
b) 6.25% rise in revenue
Explanation:
a) Assuming each skier stays for an average of 10 days, the daily turnover corresponds to 1/10 of the total skiers, which results in 1200/10 = 120 skiers daily.
__
b) For a duration of n days, the average expenditure for a skier is...
50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n
and the average daily spending calculates to...
(20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30
Thus, for a 10-day visit, the average skiier's restaurant spending is...
20/10 +30 = 32.... each day
Similarly, for a stay of 5 days, the average skier's expense becomes...
20/5 +30 = 34.... each day
The anticipated change in restaurant revenue is...
(34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%
Restaurant revenues are projected to increase by 6.25% from the previous year.
a. Determine the initial investment tied to replacing the current grinder with the new one.
Initial investment = cost of the new grinder + installation costs of the new grinder - after-tax revenue from selling the old grinder + increase in net working capital.
Cost of the new grinder = $105,000.
Cost to install the new grinder = $5,000.
After-tax revenue from the old grinder = $70,000 - ($70,000 - {$60,000 x (1 - 52%)] x 40%} = $70,000 - $16,480 = $53,520.
Increase in net working capital = $40,000 + $30,000 - $58,000 = $12,000.
Thus, initial investment = $105,000 + $5,000 - $53,520 + $12,000 = $68,480.
b. Assess the incremental operating cash inflows related to the new grinder installation. (Remember to factor in depreciation in year 6.)
New grinder cash flows:
Year 1 = [($43,000 - $22,000) x (1 - 40%)] + $22,000 = $34,600.
Year 2 = [($43,000 - $35,200) x (1 - 40%)] + $35,200 = $39,880.
Year 3 = [($43,000 - $21,120) x (1 - 40%)] + $21,120 = $34,248.
Year 4 = [($43,000 - $12,672) x (1 - 40%)] + $12,672 = $30,868.80.
Year 5 = [($43,000 - $12,672) x (1 - 40%)] + $12,672 + $18,000 (NWC) + $19,934.40 (after-tax salvage value) = $68,803.20.
Old grinder cash flows:
Year 1 = [($26,000 - $11,520) x (1 - 40%)] + $11,520 = $20,208.
Year 2 = [($24,000 - $6,912) x (1 - 40%)] + $6,912 = $15,964.80.
Year 3 = [($22,000 - $6,912) x (1 - 40%)] + $6,912 = $15,964.80.
Year 4 = [($20,000 - $3,456) x (1 - 40%)] + $3,456 = $13,382.40.
Year 5 = $18,000 x (1 - 40%) = $10,800.
Incremental cash flows:
Year 1 = $34,600 - $20,208 = $14,392.
Year 2 = $39,880 - $15,964.80 = $23,915.20.
Year 3 = $34,248 - $15,964.80 = $18,283.20.
Year 4 = $30,868.80 - $13,382.40 = $17,486.40.
Year 5 = $68,803.20 - $10,800 = $58,003.20.
c. Determine the expected terminal cash flow at the end of year 5 from the grinder replacement.
Terminal cash flow = regaining net working capital + after-tax salvage value = $18,000 + $19,934.40 = $37,934.40.
d. Show a timeline displaying the relevant cash flows for the proposed grinder replacement decision.
Year 0 = -$68,480.
Year 1 = $34,600.
Year 2 = $39,880.
Year 3 = $34,248.
Year 4 = $30,868.80.
Year 5 = $68,803.20.

June $387,000
Schedule of anticipated collections
For June, 202x
Cash sales in June = $387,000 x 40% = $154,800
Collections from June's credit sales = $232,200 x 20% = $46,440
May's credit sales collections = $202,200 x 50% = $101,100
April's credit sales collections = $179,400 x 26% = $46,644
Total cash collections in June = $348,984
Month DM purchases
April $44,000
May $55,000
June $55,000
Schedule of expected cash outflows for direct material purchases
For June, 202x
Cash purchases in June = $55,000 x 50% = $27,500
Cash payments for May's purchases = $27,500 x 40% = $11,000
Cash payments for April's purchases = $22,000 x 60% = $13,200
Total cash payments in June = $51,700
2) Month Sales
April $299,000
May $337,000
June $387,000
Schedule of expected collections
For June, 202x
Cash sales in June = $387,000 x 40% = $154,800
Collections from June's credit sales = $232,200 x 30% = $69,660
May's credit sales collections = $202,200 x 50% = $101,100
April's credit sales collections = $179,400 x 18% = $32,292
Total cash collections in June = $357,852
It would be beneficial to compensate the collector, as the 2% decline in uncollectible accounts outweighs the $1,000 they would earn.
3) Month DM purchases
April $44,000
May $55,000
June $55,000
Schedule of expected cash outflows for direct material purchases
For June, 202x
Cash purchases in June = $55,000 x 40% = $22,000
Cash payments for May's purchases = $33,000 x 40% = $13,200
Cash payments for April's purchases = $26,400 x 60% = $15,840
Total cash payments in June = $51,040
Cash payments will see a slight reduction in June.
