The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $72,000 and at the end of the month was $32,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $222,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $61,000 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $66,000. The company closes out any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead to cost of goods sold. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:
Answer:
$257,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:
First step is to calculate Over applied overhead
Over applied overhead = $66,000- $61,000
Over applied overhead= $5,000
Second step is to calculate Unadjusted cost of goods sold
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $72,000+$222,000+$32,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $262,000
Now let calculate the Adjusted cost of goods sold
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $262,000-$5,000 Adjusted cost of goods sold= $257,000
Therefore The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:$257,000

What is the unit product cost using variable costing?
A. $72 per unit
B. $59 per unit
C. $47 per unit
D. $43 per unit
Answer:
The unit cost is $43 per unit
Explanation:
Required
Determine the unit product cost?
Using variable costing, the unit product cost is:
[tex]Unit = DM+ DL + VMO[/tex]
[tex]DM = Direct\ Materials =\$9[/tex]
[tex]DL = Direct\ Labor =\$22[/tex]
[tex]VMO = Variable\ Manufacturing\ Overhead = \$12[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Unit = \$9 + \$22 + \$12[/tex]
[tex]Unit = \$43[/tex]
Hence, the unit cost is $43 per unit

Explanation:
The amount of the annual lease payments as calculated by the lessor and above situations are $86,033.44, $100,501.35, and $60,261.66 respectively. The amount lessee would record as a leased asset and a lease liability for above situations are $620,000, $1,000,000 $205,000 respectively.
What are lease payments?Lease payments are regular payments made to the lessor, who owns the asset, and the lessee, who will utilize it, as per the conditions of a contract. Before the lessee either returns the object or purchases it outright, the lease payments often continue for a predetermined amount of time.
a) For Situation 1:
Formula for calculating annual lease payments is:
Annual lease payments = Fair value of assets ÷ Present value for annuity due.
Where,
Fair Value of Assets of the leased asset = $620,000
Lease term = 12 years
Lessor's rate of return = 11%
The present value of annuity due 12 years at the rate of 11% is 7.2065
Putting in the values in the formula we get:
Annual lease payments = $620,000/7.2065 = $86,033.44
b) Formula for the lease liability = Annual rent payment × present value of annuity due.
Lease liability = $86,033.44 x 7.2065 = $620,000
For Situation 2:
a) The present value of annuity due 20 years at the rate of 9% is 9.9501
Annual lease payments = $100,000/9.9501 = $100,501.35
b) Lease liability = $100,501.35 x 9.9501 = $1,000,000
For Situation 3:
a) The present value of annuity due 4 years at the rate of 12% is 3.4081
Annual lease payments = $205,000/3.4081 = $60,261.66
b) The lease ability = $60,261.66 x 3.4801 = $205,000
Therefore, the amounts that of the lease payment for the lessor and the lessee is determined above.

Your firm has a credit rating of Baa. You notice that the credit spread for five-year maturity Baa debt is 150 basis points (1.50%). Your firm is issuing a five-year 5% semiannual coupon bond. You see that new five-year Treasury notes are being issued at par with a coupon rate of 3.5%. Should your bond be issued at par, at a discount, or at a premium?
Answer: Par
Explanation:
The credit spread measures the difference between the risk free rate/ yield for a certain type of security and the yield the security offers.
The credit spread here is 1.50%.
The risk free rate is 3.5%.
The expected yield in the market for the type of security you are issuing is therefore:
= 3.5% + 1.50%
= 5.00%
Your Baa bond is expected to have a yield of 5% which is the coupon rate you are issuing it at.
Bond will therefore be issued at Par which is what happens when the Coupon and the Yield are equal.

Abigail has just signed a 5-year lease for her new business. The full annual lease amount is due at the beginning of every year and such cash flows have been agreed to be 20,156 dollars now and the subsequent payments to increase by 5% per year until maturity. Given that the prevailing average market interest rate is 8% per year compounded monthly, compute the present value of this financial asset. (note: round your answer to the nearest cent and do not include spaces, currency signs, or commas)
Answer: $93,088
Explanation:
Rate is compounded monthly which makes it:
= 8% / 12
= 0.6667%
= 0.006667
The payment of $20,156 is to increase yearly at a rate of 5%. Payments are at the beginning of the period so the first payment does not have to be discounted.
[tex]= 20,156 + \frac{20,156 * 1.04}{(1 + 0.006667)^{12} } + \frac{20,156 * 1.04^{2} }{(1 + 0.006667)^{24} } + \frac{20,156 * 1.04^{3} }{(1 + 0.006667)^{36} } + \frac{20,156 * 1.04^{4} }{(1 + 0.006667)^{48} }\\\\= 20,156 + 19,355.65 + 18,587.08 + 17,849.02 + 17,140.27\\\\= 93,088.02[/tex]

Quantitative Problem: Jenna is a single taxpayer. During 2018, she earned wages of $113,000. She doesn't itemize deductions, so she will take the standard deduction to calculate 2018 taxable income. In addition, during the year she sold common stock that she had owned for five years for a net profit of $5,200. How much does Jenna owe to the IRS for taxes
Solution :
Item Amount
Income $113,000
Personal exemption for one $ 4,050
Standard deduction $ 6,350
Taxable income $102,600
Therefore the taxable income is $102,600.
Now the tax payable on the taxable income is given by :
Marginal tax rate Amount brackets
10% $0 - $ 9,325
15% $ 9,326 - $ 37,950
25% $ 37,951 -$ 91,900
28% $ 91,901 - $ 191,650
Now according to the above taxable slab, the amount of tax on the wages earned by Jenna is :
Tax payable = [tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times (37950 - 9325))+(0.25 \times (91900 - 37950))+(0.28 \times (102600-91900))$[/tex][tex]$= (0.1 \times 9325)+(0.15 \times 28625)+(0.25 \times 53950)+(0.28 \times 10700)$[/tex]
= 932.5 + 4293.75 + 13487.50 + 2996
= $ 21,709.75
There is also a long term capital gain of $ 5,200 that is earned by selling the common stock.
Now as per IRS, the capital gain of a long term tax percentage for an individual single filer is in 28% tax slab category is 15%.
Therefore the tax on the capital gain of $ 5,200 is = 0.15 x 5200
= $780
Thus the total tax payable by Jenna is = $ 21,709.75 + $ 780
= $ 22,489.75
Before work can begin on the project, the customer must Group of answer choices sign a contract with the contractor that includes the project start date and payment plan. assess the risks for completing the project on time and reduce the award amount if there is any risk. announce who won the bid for the project so the work can start immediately. contact the contractor and say the project is the winner so the work can start immediately.
Answer:
sign a contract with the contractor that includes the project start date and payment plan.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.
Hence, before work can begin on the project, the customer must sign a contract with the contractor that includes the project start date and payment plan.
You decide to set aside $120 a month for your future. Assuming an interest rate of 6.35%, how much will you have after 25 years? How much more would you have if you invested for 30 years?
Answer:
After 20 years you will have "$87,784.99" and after 30 years you will have "$41,151.55".
Explanation:
The give values are:
After 25 years,
Cash Flow per period,
C = $120
Interest rate per period,
i = [tex]\frac{6.35 \ percent}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]0.52916667 \ percent[/tex]
Number of period,
n = [tex]25\times 12[/tex]
= [tex]300[/tex]
The future value will be:
= [tex]C\times \frac{ [(1+i)^n-1]}{i}[/tex]
On substituting the given values, we get

= [tex]120[\frac{(4.8711 -1)}{0.0052916667} ][/tex]
= [tex]87,784.99[/tex] ($)
After 30 years,
Cash Flow per period,
C = $120
Interest rate per period,
i = [tex]\frac{6.35 \ percent}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]0.52916667 \ percent[/tex]
Number of period,
n = [tex]30\times 12[/tex]
= [tex]360[/tex]
The future value will be:
= [tex]C\times \frac{ [(1+i)^n-1]}{i}[/tex]
On substituting the given values, we get
= [tex]\frac{120[ (1+0.0052916667)^{360} -1] }{0.0052916667}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{120[ (1.0052916667)^{360} -1]}{0.0052916667}[/tex]

The level of analysis for the Industry environment is the _____ level:
The toy buyer had the option of ordering stuffed animals directly from the manufacturer or from a nearby wholesaler. The manufacturer will not ship orders for less than $1,200 total list price. Delivery typically requires five weeks, and freight averages 2.5% of total billed cost. Trade discounts on this merchandise are 40% and 10%; terms are 2/10, n/30.
A wholesaler, located in the retailer's area, stocks many of the same stuffed animals. He does not require a minimum order and will deliver at no charge in the area if the order has a billed cost of at least $500. The manufacturer and wholesaler base cost on the same list price; however, the wholesaler sells with trade discounts of 40% and 8% and terms of 1/15. n/30.
Required:
What is the difference in the total net cost (including freight) of merchandise with a total list price of $1, 200 from these two vendors?
Answer:
difference between supplies = $4.68
Explanation:
cost of merchandise from manufacturer if paid within discount period:
$1,200 x (1 - 40%) = $720
$720 x (1 - 10%) = $648
freight cost = $648 x 2.5% = $16.20
discount for early payment = $648 x 2% = $12.96
total cost = $651.24
cost of merchandise from wholesaler if paid within discount period:
$1,200 x (1 - 40%) = $720
$720 x (1 - 8%) = $662.40
discount for early payment = $648 x 1% = $6.48
total cost = $655.92
difference between supplies = $4.68
Cost of merchandise from manufacturer if paid within discount period:
$1,200 x (1 - 40%) = $720 and $720 x (1 - 10%) = $648
Cost of merchandiseFreight cost = $648 x 2.5% = $16.20
Discount for early payment = $648 x 2% = $12.96
Then Total cost is = $651.24
Then the price of merchandise from wholesaler if paid within discount period: $1,200 x (1 - 40%) = $720 and $720 x (1 - 8%) = $662.40
After that discount for early payment is= $648 x 1% = $6.48
Then the full cost is = $655.92
Thus, the right answer is that the difference between supplies = $4.68

The legal theory of contributory negligence:
a. is in effect in the majority of states throughout the nation.
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
c. allows the negligent plaintiff to recover if he was responsible for less than 50 percent of his injury.
d. has been criticized as rewarding a plaintiff for being careless.
Answer:
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
Explanation:
Contributive negligence is a tort in law that allows the defender in a case to completely prevent a plaintiff from getting any recovery in a case.
This occurs if the defender can prove the plaintiff is negligent resulting in their own injury. That is self injury.
On the other hand comparative negligence allows the plaintiff recover a certain percentage in case of negligence that affects himself. For example if plaintiff was 10% negligent then they lose 10% of the amount they were to recover.
So contributory negligence means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
Recently, a group of university students decided to incorporate for the purposes of selling a process to recycle the waste product from manufacturing cheese. Some of the initial costs involved were legal fees and office expenses incurred in starting the business, state incorporation fees, and stamp taxes. One student wishes to charge these costs against revenue in the current period. Another wishes to defer these costs and amortize them in the future. Which student is correct
Answer:
The student wishing to defer these costs and amortize them in the future.
Explanation:
Indeed, according to standard regulatory requirements, all the initial costs associated with incorporating a business cannot be deducted all at once in the first year of operation.
However, these costs are spread over a long period of time. And one way to do this is to amortize them in the future. Therefore, the second student deferring cost is correct.
Dawn, a sole proprietor, was engaged in a service business and reported her income on a cash basis. In 2018, she incorporated her business by transferring the assets of the business to a new corporation in return for all the stock in the corporation plus the corporation’s assumption of the liabilities of her proprietorship. All the receivables and the unpaid trade payables were transferred to the new corporation. The assets of the proprietorship had total basis of $125,000 and total fair market value of $300,000. The trade accounts payable assumed by the corporation totaled $35,000, and were for services rendered by third parties directly to customers of the business under Dawn’s supervision. The corporation also assumed a note payable to the bank, in the amount of $95,000. The note was issued for a loan used to purchase computers and other business equipment used in the business and transferred to the corporation.
a. Dawn has a taxable gain on the transfer of $5,000.
b. Dawn has a basis of $20,000 in the stock she receives.
c. Dawn has a basis of $10,000 in the stock she receives.
d. Dawn has a basis of $30,000 in the stock she receives.
e. Dawn has a basis of $235,000 in the stock she receives.
Answer:
d. Dawn has a basis of $30,000 in the stock she receives.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
= Total assets basis - total liabilities in terms of note payable
= $125,000 - $95,000
= $30,000
So Dawn has the basis of $30,000 in terms of the stock she received
Therefore the option d is correct
