Answer:
$16400
$8200
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation factor = 2/4 = 0.5
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.5 x $32,800 = $16,400
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $32,800 - $16,400 = $16400
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 x $16,400= $8200

Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.
Commercial Residential
Revenues $328,000 $514,000
Direct materials costs $45,000 $50,000
Direct labor costs 110,000 290,000
Overhead costs 108,000 263,000 199,000 539,000
Operating income (loss) $65,000 $(25,000)
The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel $108,000 Hours of travel
Setup time 119,000 Number of setups
Supervision 80,000 Direct labor cost
Estimated Use of Cost Drivers per Product
Commercial Residential
Scheduling and travel 800 550
Setup time 450 250
Compute the activity-based overhead rates for each of the three cost pools. (Round overhead rate for supervision to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.38.)

Answer:
Scheduling and travel= $80 per hour
Setup time= $170 per set up
Supervision= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Commercial Residential
Scheduling and travel 800 550= 1,350
Setup time 450 250=700
Direct labor costs 110,000 290,000= $400,000
Scheduling and travel= 108,000 / 1,350= $80 per hour
Setup time= 119,000 / 700= $170 per set up
Supervision= 80,000 / 400,000= $0.2 per direct labor dollar

The following is the sales budget for Coore, Inc., for the first quarter of 2019: JanuaryFebruaryMarch Sales budget$135,000$152,000$167,000 Credit sales are collected as follows: 60 percent in the month of the sale 30 percent in the month after the sale 10 percent in the second month after the sale The accounts receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter was $96,000 ($78,800 of which was uncollected December sales). a. Compute the sales for November. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) b.Compute the sales for December. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) c.Compute the cash collections from sales for each month from January through March. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. . Compute the sales for November.
This will be:
= ($96,000 - $78,800) / 10%
= $17200 / 10%
= $17200/0.1
= $172,000
b. Compute the sales for December.
This will be:
= $78800 / (10% + 30%)
= $78800 / 40%
= $78800 / 0.4
= $197000
c. Compute the cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
January cash collection:
= ($172000 × 10%) + ($197000 × 30%) + ($135000 × 60%)
= $17200 + $59100 + $81000
= $157300
February cash collection:
= ($197000 × 10%) + ($135000 × 30%) + ($152000 × 60%)
= $19700 + $40500 + $91200
= $151400
March cash collection:
= ($135000 × 10%) + ($152000 × 30%) + ($167000 × 60%)
= $13500 + $45600 + $100200
= $159300

On January 1, 2017 Grey sold Blue a machine for $66,000. Immediately prior to the sale, the machine was recorded on Grey's books at a net book value of $25,000. Prior to the sale, Grey was depreciating the machine on a straight-line basis with 9 years of remaining life and no salvage value. Blue plans to adopt the same depreciation assumptions as Grey. What elimination adjustments with respect to this sale must be made to consolidated net income in 2018 (ignoring income tax effects)
Answer:
Journal 1 - Eliminate gain on sale :
Debit : Other Income ($66,000 - $25,000) $41,000
Credit : Machinery $41,000
Journal 2 - Eliminate the unrealized profit from the sale :
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $4,556
Credit : Depreciation $4,556
Explanation:
Grey Corp and Blue Company are in a group of Companies. Grey Corp is the Parent and should prepare Consolidated Financial Statements . Blue Company is a subsidiary (Grey owns more that 50 % of voting rights in Blue Company).
When preparing Consolidated Financial Statements, intragroup transaction must be eliminated. As they happen, a Company trades within its-self that is the reason they should be eliminated.
Concerning the sale of machine by Grey (Parent) to Blue (Subsidiary), we must first eliminate the Income (gain on sale) in Parent as well as the asset that sits in the Subsidiary.
Debit : Other Income ($66,000 - $25,000) $41,000
Credit : Machinery $41,000
Also, we have to eliminate the unrealized profit on the gain of the asset sold.
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $4,556
Credit : Depreciation $4,556
Deprecation calculation :
Deprecation = $41,000 ÷ 9 = $4,556

Kirnon Clinic uses client-visits as its measure of activity. During July, the clinic budgeted for 3,250 client-visits, but its actual level of activity was 3,160 client-visits. The clinic has provided the following data concerning the formulas to be used in its budgeting: Fixed element per month Variable element per client-visit Revenue - $ 39.10 Personnel expenses $ 35,100 $ 10.30 Medical supplies 1,100 7.10 Occupancy expenses 8,100 1.10 Administrative expenses 5,100 0.20 Total expenses $ 49,400 $ 18.70 The activity variance for net operating income in July would be closest to:
Answer:
$1,836 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the activity variance for net operating income in July is shown below:
net income is
= $39.10 - $18.70
= $20.40
And, the difference in activity is
= 3,250 - 3,160
= 90
Now the activity variance for net operating income is
= $20.40 × $90
= $1,836 unfavorable

Suppose your salary in 2016 is $30,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 3%, what salary do you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power
Answer:
$35821.5
Explanation:
Using compound formula
A= P( 1+ r/ n)^ nt
A= amount
t= time period
n=Number of years
2016----2022= 6years
Substitute for the values we have
A= $30,000[ 1+ (3/100)/1]^ (6)
A= $35821.5
Hence, salary you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power is $35821.5

a-2
Year 2 4.5
Year 1 4.0
a-3
Year 2 5.0
Year 1 6.1
b. Year 2
Explanation:
a-1. Computation for the gross profit percentage for both years using this formula
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit / Sales
Let plug in the formula
Year 2 =( $ 750,000-495,000)/$ 750,000 = 34%
Year 1 = ($ 610,000-$408,000)/$ 610,000 = 33%
a-2. Computation for the inventory turnover for both years using this formula
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory during the year
Let plug in the formula
Year 2 = 495,000 /110,000 = 4.5
Year 1 = 408,000/102,000= 4.0
a-3. Computation for the accounts receivable turnover for both years using this formula
Accounts receivable turnover = Sales (on account) / Average receivables during the year
Let plug in the formula
Year 2 = $ 750,000 /150,000 = 5.0
Year 1 = $ 610,000 /100,000 = 6.1
b. Based on the above calculation Year 2 show a positive trend.
Job 412 was one of the many jobs started and completed during the year. The job required $9,500 in direct materials and 35 hours of direct labor time at a total direct labor cost of $10,400. If the job contained four units and the company billed at 70% above the unit product cost on the job cost sheet, what price per unit would have been charged to the customer
Answer:
The appropriate answer is "$8,457,50".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Direct material cost,
= $9,500
Direct labor cost,
= $10,400
Units completed in job 412,
= 4
Now,
The total cost for completion of job 412 will be:
= [tex]Direct \ materials \ cost + Direct \ labor \ costs[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]9,500 + 10,400[/tex]
= [tex]19,900[/tex] ($)
Unit produced cost will be:
= [tex]\frac{19,900}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]4,975[/tex] ($)
70% of unit produced cost will be the profit margin, then
= [tex]70 \ percent\times 4,975[/tex]
= [tex]3,482.50[/tex] ($)
hence,
The price charged to the customer will be:
= [tex]Unit \ product \ cost + Profit \ margin[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]4,975 + 3,482.50[/tex]
= [tex]8,457,50[/tex] ($)
On January 1, 2018, ABC purchased a commercial truck for $48,000 and uses the straight-line depreciation method. The truck has a useful life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $8,000. Assume the truck was totaled in an accident on December 31, 2019. What amount of gain or loss should ABC record on December 31, 2019 (If a loss, put a minus number in front)
Answer:
$38,000 Loss
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount of gain or loss should ABC record on December 31, 2019
First step is to calculate the depreciation per year
Depreciation per year =($48,000 − $8,000)/8 years
Depreciation per year= $5,000
Now let determine calculation the book value After two years,
Book value= [$48,000 − ($5,000 × 2 years)]
Book value=$48,000-$10,000
Book value= $38,000 Loss
Therefore the amount of loss that ABC should record on December 31, 2019 is $38,000

The underlying principle of the temporal method is Group of answer choices all balance sheet accounts are translated at the current exchange rate, except stockholder equity. monetary balance sheet accounts should be translated at the spot rate; nonmonetary accounts are translated at the historical rate in effect when the account was first recorded. monetary accounts are translated at the current exchange rate; other accounts are translated at the current exchange rate if they are carried on the books at current value; items carried at historical cost are translated at historic exchange rates. assets and liabilities should be translated based on their maturity.
Answer:
monetary accounts are translated at the current exchange rate; other accounts are translated at the current exchange rate if they are carried on the books at current value; items carried at historical cost are translated at historic exchange rates.
Explanation:
The principle of the temporal method means that the accounts that are monetary in nature would be transform at the current or present exchange rate, also the other account would be transform but they should be at the current value. In addition to this, if the items are at historical cost so they should be transform at historic exchange rates
Therefore the last 2nd option is correct
Suppose you bought 1,100 shares of stock at an initial price of $46 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $.46 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41. a. Compute your total dollar return on this investment
Answer:
$-4994
Explanation:
Total dollar return = number of stocks bought x (dividend return + price return)
price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price
Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned
price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year
$41 - $46 = $-5
1100 x ($-5 + $0.46) = $-4994
Storm Tools has formed a new business unit to produce battery-powered drills. The business unit was formed by the transfer of selected assets and obligations from the parent company. The unit's initial balance sheet on January 1 contained cash ($500,000), plant and equipment ($2,500,000), notes payable to the parent ($1,000,000), and residual equity ($2,000,000).
The business unit is expected to repay the note at $50,000 per month, plus all accrued interest at 1/2% per month. Payments are made on the last day of each month.
The unit is scheduled to produce 25,000 drills during January, with an increase of 2,500 units per month for the next three months. Each drill requires $40 of raw materials. Raw materials are purchased on account, and paid in the month following the month of purchase. The plant manager has established a goal to end each month with raw materials on hand, sufficient to meet 25% of the following month's planned production.
The unit expects to sell 20,000 drills in January; 25,000 in February, 25,000 in March, and 30,000 per month thereafter. The selling price is $100 per drill. Half of the drills will be sold for cash through a website. The others will be sold to retailers on account, who pay 40% in the month of purchase, and 60% in the following month. Uncollectible accounts are not material. Each drill requires 20 minutes of direct labor to assemble. Labor rates are $24 per hour. Variable factory overhead is applied at $9 per direct labor hour. The fixed factory overhead is $25,000 per month; 60% of this amount is related to depreciation of plant and equipment. With the exception of depreciation, all overhead is funded as incurred.
Selling, general, and administrative costs are funded in cash as incurred, and consist of fixed components (salaries, $100,000; office, $40,000; and advertising, $75,000) and variable components (15% of sales). Prepare a monthly comprehensive budget plan for Storm's new business unit for January through March. The plan should include the (a) sales and cash collections budget, (b) production budget, (c) direct materials purchases and payments budget, (d) direct labor budget, (e) factory overhead budget, (f) ending finished goods budget (assume total factory overhead is applied to production at the rate of $11.73 per direct labor hour), (g) SG&A budget, and (h) cash budget.
