Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 746,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units completed 620,000 100%
Ending Work in Process 180,000 70%
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 620,000 + (180,000*0.7)
Equivalent units of production= 746,000 units
nswer the question on the basis of the following cost data. Output Average Fixed Cost Average Variable Cost 1 $50.00 $100.00 2 25.00 80.00 3 16.67 66.67 4 12.50 65.00 5 10.00 68.00 6 8.37 73.33 7 7.14 80.00 8 6.25 87.50 If the firm closed down in the short run and produced zero units of output, its total cost would be Multiple Choice $0. $50. $150. $100.
Answer:
The correct answer is $50.
Explanation:
When the company produces zero units, the only costs that it would incur will be the fixed costs. We need to determine the total fixed costs:
Total fixed costs= Unitary fixed costs*number of units
Total fixed costs= 50*1= $50
Total fixed costs= 25*2= $50
Total fixed cost= 16.67*3= $50
Total fixed cost= 12.50*4= $50
And so on...
On a unitary basis, the fixed costs decrease with production. On a total basis, it remains constant.
Production= 0
Fixed cost= $50
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
Polson Pool Company is involved in a number of competitive bidding situations. The following costs are anticipated for a project to be bid for Terrance Manufacturing:
Direct material $ 680,000
Direct labor 2,450,000
Allocated variable overhead 570,000
Allocated fixed cost 230,000
Which of these costs would be treated differently if Polson had either excess capacity or no excess capacity?
a. Allocated variable overhead, $570,000
b. Direct labor, $2,450,000
c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
d. Direct materials used, $680,000.
Answer: c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
Explanation:
The Allocated fixed cost is fixed based on a certain level of production. If Polson had excess capacity to produce more goods or no excess capacity, the allocated fixed costs would have to be treated differently to account for this.
The variable costs however would not have to change because they are already based on the quantity of goods produced so even if there is excess or no excess capacity, their cost per unit would not change.
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] ($)
Blossom Company has the following inventory data: July 1 Beginning inventory 35 units at $22 $770 7 Purchases 124 units at $24 2976 22 Purchases 18 units at $26 468 $4214 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 57 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to ending inventory for July is
Answer:
Ending invenory= $1,298
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
July 1 Beginning inventory 35 units at $22 $770
July 7 Purchases 124 units at $24 $2,976
July 22 Purchases 18 units at $26 $468
A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 57 units on hand.
To calculate the ending inventory using the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory:
Ending inventory= 35*22 + 22*24
Ending invenory= $1,298
Grey Corp owns 100% of Blue Company. 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
Just before the year ended, a company offered to buy 4,120 units for $14.95 each. X Company had the capacity to produce the additional 4,120 units, but because the special order product was slightly different than the regular product, direct material costs were expected to increase to $2.40 per unit, and some special equipment would have to be rented for a total of $19,000.
Sales $1,225,500
Cost of goods sold 521,805
Gross margin $703,695
Selling and administrative costs 153,510
Profit $550,185
Fixed cost of goods sold for the year was $130,935, and fixed selling and administrative costs were $72,885. The special order product has some unique features that will require additional material costs of $0.90 per unit and the rental of special equipment for $3,000. Assume the following fact: regular variable selling and administrative costs include sales commissions equal to 4% of sales, but there will be no sales commissions on the special order. This will cause the special order profit to increase by:__________
Answer:
4%
Explanation:
Profit on special order = 7847.7 or 7848 Selling price 11 Variable cost special material 0.72 Cost of goods sold 6.69 Selling and administrative cost 1.02 Total variable cost per unit Particulars Per Unit 64500 Units Sales 19 1225500 Less: Variable cost Cost of Goods Sold (521805-130935) 6.06 390870 Sales commission (Sales*4%) 0

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.

The _____ the distance between the time of the event and the time the client knows about the events, the greater _____. greater; the probability of achieving the project goals greater; the likelihood of satisfying the client lesser; the client's doubt in the project team's ability to do the task lesser; the frustration of the client greater; the client's frustration and mistrust
Answer:
greater; the client's frustration and mistrust.
Explanation:
Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service.
The fundamentals of Project Management includes;
1. Project initiation
2. Project planning
3. Project execution
4. Monitoring and controlling of the project
5. Adapting and closure of project.
It is very important and essential that project managers in various organizations, businesses and professions adopt the aforementioned fundamentals in order to successfully achieve their aim, objectives and goals set for a project.
Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.
The greater the distance between the time of the event and the time the client knows about the events, the greater the client's frustration and mistrust. Thus, project managers are advised to reduce a client's frustration and enhance trust by reducing the distance between the time of the event and the time the client knows about the events i.e timely dissemination of informations to the client.
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
Grouper Inc. has completed the purchase of new Dell computers. The fair value of the equipment is $675,803. The purchase agreement specifies an immediate down payment of $164,000 and semiannual payments of $63,101 beginning at the end of 6 months for 5 years. What is the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction?
Answer:
The interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction 8%.
Explanation:
The interest rate can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
Interest rate = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type)*n .............(1)
Where;
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannual in a year = 5 * 2 = 10
pmt = semiannual payments = $63,101 = 63101
pv = present value = fair value balance = fair value - immediate down payment = $675,803 - $164,000 = $511,803 = 511803
fv = future value = desired cash balance after last payment = 0
type = when payments are due (0 = end of period. 1 = beginning of period) = 0
n = number of compounding period per year = number of semiannual in a year = 2
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest rate = RATE(10,63101,-511803,0,0)*2 .................. (2)
Inputting =RATE(10,63101,-511803,0,0)*2 into an excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the Interest rate is obtained as 8.00%.
Therefore, the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction 8%.
is Company uses an ABC system. Which of the following statements is/are correct with respect to ABC? I. All cost allocation bases used in ABC systems are cost drivers. II. ABC systems are useful in manufacturing, but not in merchandising or service industries. III. ABC systems can eliminate cost distortions because ABC develops cost drivers that have a cause-and-effect relationship with the activities performed.
Answer:
I. All cost allocation bases used in ABC systems are cost drivers.
III. ABC systems can eliminate cost distortions because ABC develops cost drivers that have a cause-and-effect relationship with the activities performed.
Explanation:
I. is TRUE since the basis of ABC costing is determining, quantifying, and using cost drivers to allocate overhead costs.
III, is TRUE since the advantage of ABC costing is allocating costs based on cause and effect relationships.
II. ABC systems are useful in manufacturing, but not in merchandising or service industries. ⇒ FALSE
ABC costing can also be used for merchandising and service industries, although, it is mostly used in manufacturing businesses.Wings Co. budgeted $570,000 manufacturing direct wages, 3,000 direct labor hours, and had the following manufacturing overhead:
Overhead Cost Budgeted Budgeted Level for Overhead
Pool Overhead Cost Driver Cost Driver
Cost
Materials handling $188,000 4,700 pounds Weight of materials
Machine setup 21,600 540 setups Number of setups

Requirements for Job 971 which manufactured 4 units of product:
Direct labor 20 hours
Direct materials 130 pounds
Machine setup 30 setups
Machine hours $15.000 machine hours
Inspections 15 inspections
1. Using ABC, overhead cost assigned to Job #971 for machine setup is:____.
a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020 .
2. Using ABC, overhead cost assigned to Job #971 for machine repair is:____.
a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 21,600/540= $40 per setup
Machine repair= 1,260/31,500= $0.04 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to Job 971:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 40*30= $1,200
Machine repair= 0.04*15,000= $600

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

The price of Microsoft is $37 per share and that of Apple is $43 per share. The price of Microsoft increases to $42 per share after one year and to $47 after two years. Also, shares of Apple increase to $49 after one year and to $59 after two years. If your portfolio comprises 100 shares of each security, what is your portfolio return in year 1 and year 2
Answer: 13.75% ; 16.48%
Explanation:
Year 0:
Microsoft: Current value = 100 at $37 = $3700
Apple: Current value = 100 at $43 = $4300
Portfolio value = $3700 + $4300 = $8000
Year 1:
Microsoft: value at year 1 = 100 at $42 = $4200
Apple: value at year 1= 100 at $49 = $4900
Portfolio value = $4200 + $4900 = $9100
Year 2:
Microsoft: value at year 2 = 100 at $47 = $4700
Apple: value at year 2 = 100 at $59 = $5900
Portfolio value = $4700 + $5900 = $10600
Therefore, Portfolio returns for year 1 will be:
= (value at the end of year 1 / current value) - 1
= (9100 / 8000) - 1
= 1.1375 - 1
= 0.1375
= 13.75%
Portfolio returns for year 2 will be:
= (value at the end of year 2 / value at the end of year 1) - 1
= (10600 / 9100) - 1
= 16.48%

Sunland Company just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 153 units $1071 June 10 204 units 1632 June 15 204 units 1836 June 28 153 units 1530 $6069 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 204 units on hand. Using the average cost method, the amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 is
Answer:
the ending inventory is $1,734
Explanation:
The computation of the amount allocated to the ending inventory is shown below:
But before that the average per unit is
= Total amount ÷ total units
= $6,069 ÷ (153 + 204 + 204 + 153)
= $8.5
Since the ending inventory units is 204 units
So, the ending inventory is
= $8.5 ×204 units
= $1,734
hence, the ending inventory is $1,734
You and your family visit Orlando for a week. While there, you decide to go to Universal Studios. When you arrive, you notice that each family member can buy a day pass for $115 or a two-day pass for $150. If you want a three-day pass, the price is $170. Suppose your benefit, measured in utility, is equal to $120 in value the first day you go to the park, $50 more if you go a second day, and $15 more for the third day. What ticket, if any, should you buy
Answer:
the second day ticket
Explanation:
We would purchase the ticket with the highest net benefit
Net benefit = Benefit - cost of ticket
First day
Net benefit = $120 - $115 = $5
Second day
Net benefit = ($120 + $50) - $150 = $20
Third day
Net benefit = ($170 + $15) - $170 = $15
The second day yields the highest net benefit
Problem 10-4 Partnership Formation (LO 10.2) Elaine's original basis in the Hornbeam Partnership was $40,000. Her share of the taxable income from the partnership since she purchased the interest has been $70,000, and Elaine has received $80,000 in cash distributions from the partnership. Elaine did not recognize any gains as a result of the distributions. In the current year, Hornbeam also allocated $1,000 of tax-exempt interest to Elaine. Calculate Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest. $fill in the blank 1 1,000
Answer:
$31,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest
Using this formula
Elaine's current basis= Value of original basis + (interest purchased - Cash received) + Tax exempt interest
Let plug in the formula
Elaine's current basis= $40,000 + ($70,000 - $80,000) + $1,000
Elaine's current basis= $40,000 - $10,000 + $1,000
Elaine's current basis= $31,000
Therefore Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest is $31,000
