Answer:
The summary as per the given query is summarized below.
Explanation:
The criterion used by economists to decide whether the individual was working wasn’t employed.Employees hold down jobs for full as well as part-time pay where they already haven't a job and therefore are provisions of these terms for work even though they are unemployed.The labor force seems to be the number among all jobs working as well as unemployment.Faux Stamp company contemplating the acceptance of a special order has the following cost behavior, based on production of 10,000 units. The company is currently operating at 70% of its manufacturing capacity. A customer wants to purchase 2,000 units at a special unit price of $25. The normal price per unit is $50. Direct materials are $4 per unit, direct labor is $10 per unit, variable overhead is $8 per unit, and fixed overhead is $60,000 total. Perform an incremental analysis to determine the effect on net income if the special order is accepted, and decide whether management should accept the special order. What is the impact on net income if you accept the order?
Answer:
Management should accept the order because it increases net income by $6,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 2,000
Unit selling price= $25
Direct material= $4
Direct labor= $10
Variable overhead= $8
Because it is a special order and there is unused capacity, we won't take into account the fixed costs.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 2,000*(25 - 4 - 10 - 8)
Effect on income= $6,000 increase
Management should accept the order because it increases net income by $6,000.

The following information is taken from the 2020 general ledger of Swisher Company. Rent Rent expense $48,000 Prepaid rent, January 1 5,900 Prepaid rent, December 31 9,000 Salaries Salaries and wages expense $54,000 Salaries and wages payable, January 1 10,000 Salaries and wages payable, December 31 8,000 Sales Sales revenue $175,000 Accounts receivable, January 1 16,000 Accounts receivable, December 31 7,000 In each case, compute the amount that should be reported in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows under the direct method. Cash payments for rent $ Cash payments for salaries $ Cash receipts from customers
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Cash payments
= Rent expense + Prepaid rent, December 31 - Prepaid rent January 1
= $48,000 + $9,000 - $5,900
= $51,100
2. Cash payments for salaries
= Salaries and wages expense + salaries and wages payable January 1, - salaries and wages payable December 31
= $54,000 + $10,000 - $8,000
= $56,000
3. Cash receipts from customers
= Sales revenue + Accounts receivables January 1 - Accounts receivables, December 31
= $175,000 + $16,000 - $7,000
= $184,000
A $64,000 machine with a 6-year class life was purchased 2 years ago. The machine will now be sold for $50,000 and replaced with a new machine costing $82,000, with a 10-year class life. The new machine will not increase sales, but will decrease operating costs by $9,000 per year. Simplified straight line depreciation is employed for both machines, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 34 percent. What is the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
Answer:
$6,779
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
First step is to calculate the depreciation
Depreciation=[($64,000/6 years)-($82,000/10 years)
Depreciation=$10,667-$8,200
Depreciation=$2,467
Now let calculate the Incremental annual cash flow
Incremental annual cash flow ={($9,000-$2,467)
-[($9,000-$2,467)*34%]+$2,467}
Incremental annual cash flow =[($6,533-$2,221)+$2,467]
Incremental annual cash flow =$4,312+$2,467
Incremental annual cash flow=$6,779
Therefore the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project is $6,779
Mccabe Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing. The following data pertain to its Assembly Department for September. Percent Complete Units Materials Conversion Work in process, September 1 1,200 55 % 10 % Units started into production during September 8,600 Units completed during September and transferred to the next department 7,700 Work in process, September 30 2,100 75 % 25 % Required: Compute the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs for the Assembly Department for September using the weighted-average method.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs is given below:
For material
= Units completed + ending work in process × completion percentage
= 7,700 + 2,100 × 0.75
= 9,275 units
And, for conversion cost
= Units completed + ending work in process × completion percentage
= 7,700 + 2,100 × 0.25
= 8,225 units

The following cost behavior patterns describe anticipated manufacturing costs for 2019: raw material, $7.50/unit; direct labor, $10.50/unit; and manufacturing overhead, $297,500 $8.50/unit. Required: If anticipated production for 2019 is 35,000 units, calculate the unit cost using variable costing and absorption costing. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Unit cost
$
Variable costing 18
Absorption costing 26.5
Explanation:
Variable costing values every unit produced at the marginal cost. Marginal cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor and variable overhead.
Marginal cost = 7.50 + 10.50 =$18
Absorption costing values every unit at full cost. Full cost is the sum of marginal and fixed overhead cost per unit,
Fixed overhead cost per unit = $297,500/35,000=8.5
Full cost = 7.50 + 10.50 + 8.50= $26.5
Unit cost
$
Variable costing 18
Absorption costing 26.5
Symington Corporation uses the periodic inventory system. At December 31, 20X1, the end of the company's fiscal year, a physical count of inventory revealed an ending inventory balance of $320,000. The following items were not included in the physical count: Goods held on consignment at Murphy Corporation $ 23,000 Merchandise shipped to a customer on 12/30/20X1 f.o.b. destination (merchandise arrived at customer's location on 1/3/20X2) 12,000 Merchandise shipped to a customer on 12/29/20X1 f.o.b. shipping point (merchandise arrived at customer's location on 1/2/20X2) 6,000 Merchandise purchased from a supplier, shipped f.o.b. destination on 12/29/20X1, in transit at year-end 24,000
Symington's 2018 ending inventory should be:________
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, Symington's 2018 ending inventory would be computed as seen below;
= Ending inventory balance at December 31, 20X1 + Goods held on consignment at Murphy corporation + Merchandize shipped to customer on 12/30 and arrived at customer' location on 1/3/2017
= $320,000 + $23,000 + $12,000
= $355,000
Therefore, Symington's 2018 ending balance should be $355,000.
Note that other given information are not relevant to the computation of the ending inventory.
Break-even sales and sales to realize operating incomeFor the current year ended March 31, Cosgrove Company expects fixed costs of $465,000, a unit variable cost of $62, and a unit selling price of $92.a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).fill in the blank 1 unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $108,000.fill in the blank 2 units
Answer:
Break even point in units=15,500 units
Units to achieve target profit=19,100 units
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs
Break-even point (in units) is calculated using this formula:
Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)
Break even point in units= $465,000/(92-62)=15,500 units
Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period + target profit)/ contribution per unit
Units to achieve target profit of 108,000 = ($465,000+ 108,000)/ (92-62)=19,100 units
Break even point in units=15,500 units
Units to achieve target profit=19,100 units

Producer surplus is best defined as _________________. Select the correct answer below: the profit of producers when they make more goods than are demanded the profit of producers when there are too many producers for a certain demand in a market the profit that producers make above the cost of production the intangible profits producers make in addition to the goods they sell
Answer:
the profit that producers make above the cost of production.
Explanation:
Producer surplus is best defined as the profit that producers make above the cost of production.
Basically, it is the total amount of money that a particular producer of goods and services benefits (gains) from selling at the market price.
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

You are a financial analyst for Loch Motor Company and have been asked to determine the impact of alternative depreciation methods. For your analysis, you have been asked to compare methods based on a machine that cost $246,000. The estimated useful life is 10 years, and the estimated residual value is $62,000. The machine has an estimated useful life in productive output of 230,000 units. Actual output was 35,000 in year 1 and 31,000 in year 2.
Required:
For years 1 and 2 only, prepare separate depreciation schedules assuming:
a. Straight-line method.
b. Units-of-production method.
c. Double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
a. Straight-line method.
depreciable value = $246,000 - $62,000 = $184,000
deprecaition expense per year = $184,000 / 10 = $18,400
year depreciation expense book value
1 $18,400 $227,600
2 $18,400 $209,200
b. Units-of-production method.
depreciable value = $246,000 - $62,000 = $184,000
deprecaition expense per unit = $184,000 / 230,000 = $0.80
year depreciation expense book value
1 $28,000 $218,000
2 $24,800 $193,200
c. Double-declining-balance method.
depreciation expense year 1 = $246,000 x 1/10 x 2 = $49,200
depreciation expense year 2 = $196,800 x 1/10 x 2 = $39,360
year depreciation expense book value
1 $49,200 $196,800
2 $39,360 $157,440
Kier Company issued $700,000 in bonds on January 1, Year 1. The bonds were issued at face value and carried a 4-year term to maturity. The bonds have a 6.50% stated rate of interest and interest is payable in cash on December 31 each year. Based on this information alone, what are the amounts of interest expense and cash flows from operating activities, respectively, that will be reported in the financial statements for the year ending December 31, Year 1
Answer: Interest expense = $45500
Cash outflow = $45500
Explanation:
Based on the information that were given in the question, the amounts of interest expense and cash flows from operating activities, that will be reported in the financial statements for the year ending December 31, Year 1 will be calculated thus:
Interest expense = $700,000 × 6.50%
= $700,000 × 0.065
= $45500
The interest expense of $45500 will be reported on December 31, Year 1 in the income statement and will also be reported in the cash outflow as well. Therefore,

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
CLIFF CONSULTING
Contribution Income Statement
For the Year Ended September 30
Sales revenue $ 1,200,000
Variable costs
Cost of services $ 480,000
Selling and administrative 60,000 540,000
Contribution margin 660,000
Fixed Costs -selling and administrative 440,000
Before-tax profit 220,000
Income taxes (21%) 46,200
After-tax profit $ 173,800
Break-even point in sales revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
= $440,000/0.55
= $800,000
Annual margin of safety = normal sales revenue minus break-even sales revenue
= $1,200,000 - $800,000
= $400,000
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales revenue * 100
= $660,000/$1,200,000 * 100 = 55%
If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue
= ($440,000 + $80,000)/0.55 = $520,000/0.55 = $945,455
To achieve after-tax net income of $250,000, the required dollar sales revenue:
Net income after-tax = $250,000
Tax rate = 21%
Net income before tax = $250,000/1-21%
= $250,000/0.79 = $316,456
Sales dollars to achieve target profit = (Fixed costs + Target Profit/1 - 0.21)/Contribution margin
= ($440,000 + ($250,000/0.79))/0-55
= ($440,000 + $316,456)/0.55
= $756,456/0.55
= $1,375,375
Abbreviated Contribution Income Statement
Sales revenue $1,375,375
Variable costs = 618,919
Contribution = $756,456
Fixed costs 440,000
Before tax income 316,456

Last month when Holiday Creations, Inc., sold 41,000 units, total sales were $282,000, total variable expenses were $214,320, and fixed expenses were $36,900. Required: 1. What is the company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio? 2. What is the estimated change in the company’s net operating income if it can increase total sales by $1,700? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
1. Company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio = 24%
2. Estimated change in the company’s net operating income = $408
Explanation:
1. What is the company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio?
Contribution margin (CM) = Total sales - Total variable expenses = $282,000 - $214,320 = $67,680
Contribution margin (CM) ratio = Contribution margin / Total sales = $67,680 / $282,000 = 0.24, or 24%
2. What is the estimated change in the company’s net operating income if it can increase total sales by $1,700? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Estimated change in the company’s net operating income = Increase total in sales * Contribution margin (CM) ratio = $1.700 * 24% = $408
Problem 8-27A (Static) Computing standard cost and analyzing variances LO 8-5, 8-6 Spiro Company manufactures molded candles that are finished by hand. The company developed the following standards for a new line of drip candles. Amount of direct materials per candle 1.6 pounds Price of direct materials per pound $ 1.50 Quantity of labor per unit 1 hour Price of direct labor per hour $ 20 /hour Total budgeted fixed overhead $ 390,000 During Year 2, Spiro planned to produce 30,000 drip candles. Production lagged behind expectations, and it actually produced only 24,000 drip candles. At year-end, direct materials purchased and used amounted to 40,000 pounds at a unit price of $1.35 per pound. Direct labor costs were actually $18.75 per hour and 26,400 actual hours were worked to produce the drip candles. Overhead for the year actually amounted to $330,000. Overhead is applied to products using a predetermined overhead rate based on estimated units.
This question asks us to:
a. Determine the standard cost per candle for direct products, direct labor, and overhead.
b. Calculate the total standard cost of one drip candle.
c. Determine the direct materials, direct labor, and overhead actual costs per candle.
d. The total actual cost of each candle
Answer:
Explanation:
a.
Cost Computation Standard cost per unit
Direct material [tex]\$1.50 \times 1.6[/tex] 2.4
Direct Labor [tex]\$20 \times 1[/tex] 20
Overhead [tex]\dfrac{\$390,000}{30000}[/tex] 13
b.
To find the total average standard cost for 1 drip candle
The total standard cost per dip candle = $(2.4+20+13)
=$35.40
c. The actual cost per candle for direct materials, direct labor, and overhead can be computed as:
Cost Computation Standard cost per unit
Direct material [tex](\dfrac{40000}{24000}\times 1.35)[/tex] 2.25
Direct Labor [tex]\dfrac{26400}{24000} \times 18.75[/tex] 20.63
Overhead [tex]\dfrac{\$330,000}{24000}[/tex] 13.75
d. The total actual cost per candle = $(2.25 + 20.63 + 13.75)
= $36.63
The total cost of producing q units of a certain product is described by the function C = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q2 where C is the total cost stated in dollars. (1) How many units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit? (2) What is the minimum average cost per unit? (3) What is the total cost of production at this level of output? Make sure to include appropriate units.
Answer:
(1) 20,000 units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit.
(2) The minimum average cost per unit is $700 per unit.
(3) The total cost of production at this level of output is $14,000,000.
Explanation:
The given total cost function is correctly stated as follows:
C = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2 …………………………… (1)
(1) How many units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit?
AC = Average cost per unit = C / q
Substituting for C from equation (1), we have:
AC = (4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2) / q …………………. (2)
Marginal cost can be obtained by taking the derivative of equation (1) as follows:
MC = C’ = 300 + (2 * 0.01)q
MC = 300 + 0.02q …………………………………………. (3)
AC is minimum when MC = AC. Therefore, equate equations (2) and (3) and solve for q as follows:
300 + 0.02q = (4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2) / q
(300 + 0.02q)q = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2
300q + 0.02q^2 = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2
300q + 0.02q^2 - 300q - 0.01q^2 = 4,000,000
0.01q^2 = 4,000,000
q^2 = 4,000,000 / 0.01
q^2 = 400,000,000
q = 400,000,000^(1/2)
q = 20,000 units
Therefore, 20,000 units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit.
(2) What is the minimum average cost per unit?
Substituting q = 20,000 into equation (2), we have:
AC = (4,000,000 + (300 * 20,000) + (0.01 * 20,000^2)) / 20,000
AC = $700 per unit
Therefore, the minimum average cost per unit is $700 per unit.
(3) What is the total cost of production at this level of output?
Substituting q = 20,000 into equation (1), we have:
C = 4,000,000 + (300 * 20,000) + (0.01 * 20,000^2)
C = $14,000,000
Therefore, the total cost of production at this level of output is $14,000,000.

(If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45).) Determine the net present value, and indicate whether the investment should be made.
Answer:
Hsung Company
a. The net present value is:
= $12,100.
b. Since the investment could yield a net present value of $12,100, the investment should be made.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash cost of proposed capital investment = $226,445
Net annual cash inflows = $40,500
Present value factor of cash inflows for 10 years = 5.89 (rounded)
Present value of net annual cash inflows = $238,545 ($40,500 * 5.89)
The net present value of the proposed capital project = Present value of net annual cash inflows minus the initial investment cost
= $12,100 ($238,545 - $226,445)
Answer:
12100
Explanation:
40500*5.89=238545
238545-226445=12100

Q 22.14: The Eccleston Company has the following budgeted sales: January $40,000, February $60,000, and March $50,000. 40% of the sales are for cash and 60% are on credit. For the credit sales, 50% of the amount is collected in the month of sale, and 50% in the next month. The total expected cash receipts during March are
Answer:
Total cash collection March= $53,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
February $60,000
March $50,000.
Sales in cash= 40%
Sales on account= 60% (50% of the amount is collected in the month of sale, and 50% in the next month)
We need to calculate the cash collection for March:
Cash collection March:
Sales on Cash March= (50,000*0.4)= 20,000
Sales on account March= (50,000*0.6)*0.5= 15,000
Sales on account February= (60,000*0.6)*0.5= 18,000
Total cash collection March= $53,000
Frida makes bread every day and due to demand she is thinking of increasing her bread production. In order to make this decision, she would calculate her marginal costs of bread production (increased number of employees, equipment, etc.) and her marginal benefits (number of loaves sold, price paid, new customers, etc.) and continue to produce where Select the correct answer below:
a. MB
b. MB>MC or until they are equal.
c. total benefits equal total costs.
d. the price of bread equals exactly the marginal benefit of each loaf.
Answer: b. MB > MC or until they are equal.
Explanation:
It is best that Frieda produces bread at the level where Marginal benefits exceeds marginal costs. The difference will keep giving her more profit.
She should keep increasing her production so long as the Marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost but should stop at the level where the Marginal benefit and marginal cost become equal because producing past this point would mean that she would incur a marginal loss on each unit.
