Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 24,000 / 1,000= $24 per activity unit
Activity 2= 36,900 / 900= $41 per activity unit
Activity 3= 63,000 / 1,800= $35 per activity unit
Now, we can allocate costs to product A:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 24*200= $4,800
Activity 2= 41*750= $30,750
Activity 3= 35*1,000= $35,000
Total allocated costs= $70,550
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 70,550 / 5,000= $14.11
On January 1, Alan King decided to deposit $58,800 in a savings account that will provide funds four years later to send his son to college. The savings account will earn 8% annually. Any interest earned will be added to the fund at year-end (rather than withdrawn). (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required:
Answer:
FV= $79,996.75
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $58,800
Interest rate (i)= 8% compounded annually
Number of periods (n)= 4 years
To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 58,800*(1.08^4)
FV= $79,996.75
Suppose that the Federal Reserve decides to decrease the money supply with a $300 purchases of Treasury bills. Complete the tables that represent the financial position of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks after this open-market operation. Be sure to use a negative sign for reduced values.
Federal Reserves Assest Liabilities
Commercial Reserves Assets Liabilities
For the Federal Reserve, what are assets? What are liabilities?
a. Monetary base; Reserves
b. Monetary base; Treasury bills
c. Treasury bills; Reserves
d. Reserves; Treasury bill
e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Answer:
1. Federal Reserves:
Assets : $300
The Fed purchased these T-bills so they will form part of the Fed's assets as they are now owned by the Fed.
Liabilities: $300
Liabilities of the Fed will increase by $300 because the banks will deposit the money they got from the purchase in the Fed.
Commercial Banks:
Treasury Bills: -$300
The Treasury bills will reduce by $300 to reflect that the Fed purchased $300 worth of T-bills from the banks.
Reserves: $300
Reserves will increase because the banks would have made money from selling the T-bills to the Fed.
2. e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Treasury bills are assets to the Fed in this case because as explained, they own these T-bills now after purchasing them.
The monetary base however, is a liability because it represents commercial bank reserves held in the Fed. They owe the banks this money thereby making it a liability.

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 35 years. To do this, you will invest $710 per month in a stock account and $310 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9.1 percent, and the bond account will earn 5.1 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an annual return of 6.1 percent. Assume the returns are expressed as APRs.
How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 30-year withdrawal period?
Answer:
monthly payment = $16,162.87
Explanation:
future value of stock account = $710 x= [(1 + 0.00758333)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00758333 = $2,142,045
future value of bond account = $310 x= [(1 + 0.00425)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00425 = $360,116
future value = $2,502,161
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.0050833)³⁶⁰ ] / 0.0050833 = 165.019
monthly payment = $2,502,161 / 165.019 = $16,162.87

$11,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the company's fixed-overhead volume variance would be:
Actual fixed overhead incurred ($791,000)
Less Budgeted fixed overhead ($780,000)
Fixed-overhead volume variance $11,000 unfavorable
Therefore the company's fixed-overhead volume variance would be: $11,000 unfavorable
Times-Roman Publishing Company reports the following amounts in its first three years of operation: ($ in thousands) 2021 2022 2023 Subscription revenue recognized (earned) $ 350 $ 360 $ 320 Subscription payments received in cash 390 340 360 The difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income is due to subscription revenue for one-year magazine subscriptions being reported for tax purposes in the year received, but reported in the income statement in later years when the performance obligation is satisfied. The income tax rate is 25% each year. Times-Roman anticipates profitable operations in the future. Required: 1. What is the balance sheet account that gives rise to a temporary difference in this situation
Answer: Unearned subscription revenue.
Explanation:
Tax is made on a cash basis which means that a transaction is eligible for taxation once cash has been paid for it. Businesses however have to use the Accrual basis which only record transactions in the period that they have been incurred.
In this scenario, there is more subscription payment in cash than the company recognized which means that the company has not yet delivered the service they were paid for and so could not recognize the subscriptions. They will however be taxed on those amounts because the cash has come in.
The account giving this temporary difference is therefore the Unearned Subscription Revenue account.

On May 1, an additional 9,000 shares of common stock were issued. On July 1, 6,000 shares of common stock were acquired for the treasury. On September 1, the 6,000 treasury shares of common stock were reissued. The preferred stock has a $4 per share dividend rate, and each share may be converted into 2 shares of common stock. Soliman Corporation’s 2018 net income is $230,000.
Required
a. Compute earnings per share for 2018. Round your answer to two decimal places.
b. Compute diluted earnings per share for 2018. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
Soliman Corporation
1. Basic EPS
= $6.18 per share
2. Diluted EPS
= $5.23 per share
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 2018 = 25,000
May 1, 2018 Issued 9,000
July 1, 2018 Treasury (6,000)
September 1, 2018 Treasury 6,000
Total outstanding 34,000
Converted preferred stock 10,000
Total outstanding 44,000
2018 Net Income = $230,000
Preferred dividend 20,000 ($4 * 5,000)
Income for Common $210,000
Basic Earnings per share = $210,000/34,000 = $6.18
Diluted Earnings per share = $230,000/44,000 = $5.23
Assume you gave up a $60,000 per year job at an accounting firm to start your own tax preparation business. To simplify, assume your tax personal obligations are the same whether you run your own firm or work for another firm. If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
Answer:
Accounting profit= $70,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
The accounting profit does not include the opportunity cost of leaving the accounting job. In this case, the accounting profit is:
Accounting profit= revenue - costs
Accounting profit= 75,000 - 5,000
Accounting profit= $70,000

Jane Industries manufactures plastic toys. During October, Jane's Fabrication Department started work on 10,400 models. During the month, the company completed 11,200 models, and transferred them to the Distribution Department. The company ended the month with 2200 models in ending inventory. There were 3000 models in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is being followed. Beginning work in process was 30% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 55% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning inventory​:
Direct materials costs $20,000
Conversion costs $11,100
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period​:
Direct materials costs $70,700
Conversion costs $240,500
What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of October?
a. $19,783
b. $20,337
c. $10,923
d. $14,916
Answer:
d. $14,916
Explanation:
Note that Jane Industries uses FIFO method of process costing.
Step 1 : Equivalent Units in respect of materials
Materials = 3,000 x 0 % + 8,200 x 100% + 2,200 x 100%
= 10,400 units
Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent unit in respect of materials
Cost per Equivalent = $70,700 ÷ 10,400 units
= $6.80
Step 3 : direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process
Ending work-in-process (Materials Cost) = 2,200 x $6.80
= $14,960
Otto and Monica are married taxpayers who file a joint tax return. For the current tax year, they have AGI of $99,600. They have excess depreciation on real estate of $59,760, which must be added back to AGI to arrive at AMTI. The amount of their mortgage interest expense for the year was $19,920, and they made charitable contributions of $9,960. They have no other itemized deductions. If Otto and Monica's taxable income for the current year is $69,720, determine the amount of their AMTI.
Answer: $129480
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the amount of their AMTI will be calculated as:
AGI = $99600
Add: Excess Depreciation on Real Estate = $59760
Less: Mortgage Interest Expenses = $19920
Less : Charitable Contribution = $9960
AMTI = $129480
Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)
Minimum transfer price = $10.81
2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)
Minimum transfer price = $34.55
N.B
Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74
An investor thought that market interest rates were going to decline. He paid $19,000 for a corporate bond with a face value of $20,000. The bond has an interest rate of 10% per year payable annually. If the investor plans to sell the bond immediately after receiving the 4th interest payment, how much will he have to receive in order to make a return of 14% per year? Solve using:
a. tabulated factors
b. the GOAL SEEK tool on a spreadsheet.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
a. In this part, we need to calculate the present worth using the formula to calculate the sale price of the bond.
As the coupon rate = 10% per year
So,
The Annual dividend will = 2000 = 10% x 20,000
19000 = 2000 (P/A, 14%,4) + B(P/F,14%,4)
19000 = 2000 (2.9137) + B (0.592)
Solving for B = Desired sales price of the bond
B = [tex]\frac{19000 - 5827.4}{0.592}[/tex]
B = 22251
b. Part b of this question is to solve using GOAL SEEK feature of a spreadsheet so, I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to the attachment for the solution of part b.

John received a promotion at work and felt new clothes would be necessary in the new position. John went to a local store and charged three ties on his charge account at a cost of $60 each. Bill, a friend of John's, saw a sidewalk vendor selling ties at a cost of three for $10 and bought three at that price. The friends compared purchases that night and found that they had purchased identical ties. John became enraged and said that he would not pay the charge-account bill because the ties were clearly not worth $60 each. Bill indicated that he would testify on John's behalf if litigation ensued. What would be the probable outcome of the lawsuit
Answer:
John will lose the lawsuit
Explanation:
Businesses have a right to set the price of their products, and when the customers considers the price and agrees with it the deal is sealed.
In the given scenario John made the purchase at $60 per tie and he was satisfied with the sale at point of purchase.
He only became enraged when Bill told him he bought his identical ties at $10.
John will lose a lawsuit of he fails to pay the charge-account bill because he willingly agreed to the $60 per tie price.

Required: Alex Meir recently won a lottery and has the option of receiving one of the following three prizes: (1) $88,000 cash immediately, (2) $34,000 cash immediately and a six-period annuity of $9,300 beginning one year from today, or (3) a six-period annuity of $18,400 beginning one year from today. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 1.1 Assuming an interest rate of 7%, determine the PV value for the above options.
1.2 Which option should Alex choose? Option (1) Option (2) Option (3)
2. The Weimer Corporation wants to accumulate a sum of money to repay certain debts due on December 31, 2022. Weimer will make annual deposits of $175,000 into a special bank account at the end of each of 10 years beginning December 31, 2013. Assuming that the bank account pays 8% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2022?

Future value?
Answer:
option 1
$4,056,237.49
Explanation:
To determine the better option, we have to determine the present value of options 2 and 3
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
option 2
Cash flow in year 0 = $34,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 6 = $9,300
I = 7 %
PV = 78,328.82
Option 2
Cash flow in year 1 to 6 = $$18,400
I = 7 %
PV = 87704.33
To find the NPV 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.
3. Press compute
It is the first option that has the highest value
The formula for calculating future value = A / annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r) n] - 1} / r
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
