Answer 1

Answer:

Inga Corporation

Special Order:

If the special order is accepted, the company's overall net operating income would decrease by $3,680.00.

Explanation:

a) We need to perform some calculations to get the relevant costs.  Relevant costs are costs that are avoidable if a decision is taken.  Fixed overhead is not a relevant cost because it is unavoidable, especially in this case.

Relevant Costs:

Unit Product cost = $23.10

less Fixed overhead = $8.00

Relevant unit cost = $15.10

b) An income statement is prepared to determine the Operating Income from Special Order:

Sales (2,400 x $29) = $69,600

less Relevant costs:

Unit (2,400 x $15.10) = $40,080

Special Equipment Cost = $14,000

Contribution = $15,520

less Fixed cost ($8.00 x 2,400) = $19,200

Net Operating Income ($3,680)

c) To accept or reject the special order should not be based solely on the net operating loss.  The character of the allocated fixed cost should be investigated and analyzed to understand whether the amount that is avoidable or not.  Avoidable fixed cost is relevant in making such decision.

The net differential income from the lease alternative is

Answers

Answer:

$12,750

Explanation:

The computation of net differential income is shown below:-

For computing the net differential income first we need to find out the net income if equipment is sold and net income if offer lease is accepted which is given below:-

Net income if equipment is sold = Sales consideration - Commission

= $25,000 - ($25,000 × 7%)

= $25,000 - $1,750

= $23,250

Now,

Net income if offer lease is accepted = Lease amount - Repair, insurance and property tax expenses

= $46,000 - $10,000

= $36,000

So,

Net differential income from the lease alternative = Net income if offer lease is accepted - Net income if equipment is sold

= $36,000 - $23,250

= $12,750

Fixed cost - $267,000

Depreciation expense - $67,000

Earning before interest and taxes  $28,600

We simply deduct the depreciation expense, fixed cost and the variable cost from the sales revenue so that the Earning before interest and taxes could come

A total of 30 percent of this inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2019. In 2018, Parkette reported cost of goods sold of $537,500 while Skybox reported $437,500. What is the consolidated cost of goods sold in 2018

Answers

Answer:

$776,167

Explanation:

The computation of the consolidated cost of goods sold is shown below:-

Intra entity Gross Profit in 2017 = $270,000 - $210,600

= $59,400

Unrealized Gross Profit = Intra entity Gross Profit in 2017 × Inventory percentage

= $59,400 × 20%

= $11,880

Intra entity Gross Profit in 2018 = $197,000 - $163,510

= $33,490

Unrealized Gross Profit at 31/12/2018 = Intra entity Gross Profit in 2018 × Inventory percentage

= $33,490 × 30%

= $10,047

Consolidated cost of goods sold for 2018 = Parent COGS + Subsidiary COGS - Intra entity transfer for 2018 - Recognized 2017 deferred Gross profit + Defer unrealized gross profit for 2018

= $537,500 + $437,500 - $197,000 - $11,880 + $10,047

= $776,167

Therefore for computing the consolidated cost of goods sold we simply applied the above formula.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The file attached shows the complete calculation to the problem

a) working capital = Current asset - current liabilities =h-k  

Target $  6,976  Wal-Mart $ (6,441)      

b)Current ratio = Current Asset / Current liabilities = h/k                 Target 1.66                Wal-Mart  0.88      

c) Debt to asset ratio : (Current liabilities + Long term liabilities)/Total asset = (k+l)/j              Target 0.69                  Wal-Mart 0.60      

e) Earning per share = net income/number of share outstanding = g/r   Target $ 2.86  Wal-Mart $ 3.39

f)  Liquidity is reflected by net working capital, current asset ratio. We can see net working capital is negative for Wal-Mart and also Current ratio is lower compared to  

Target. Hence, Target has better liquidity compared to Wal-mart

Solvency : is reflected by ability of company to pay its debt on time. We can see debt to asset ratio is lower for Wal-Mart.      

Target has relatively higher debt compared to Wal-mart. Hence solvency for Wal-mart is better .

Final answer:

Target's working capital, current ratio, debt to assets ratio, free cash flow, and earnings per share are calculated and compared to those of Wal-Mart. Target has better liquidity but Wal-Mart has better solvency.

Explanation:

Let's compute the values and ratios for Target and Wal-Mart:

Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities. For Target, it's $17,488 - $10,512 = $6,976 million. For Wal-Mart, it's $48,949 - $55,390 = - $6,441 million. Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. For Target, it's $17,488 / $10,512 = 1.66. For Wal-Mart, it's $48,949 / $55,390 = 0.88. Debt to assets ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets. For Target, it's ($10,512 + $19,882) / $44,106 = 0.69. For Walmart, it's ($55,390 + $42,754) / $163,429 = 0.60. Free cash flow = Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities - Capital Expenditure. For Target, it is $4,430 - $3,547 = $883 million. For Wal-Mart, it's $23,147 - $11,499 = $11,648 million. Earnings per share = Net Income / Weighted average shares outstanding. For Target, it's $2,214 / 774 = $2.86 per share. For Walmart, it's $13,400 / 3,951 = $3.39 per share.

Comparing the liquidity and solvency, Target has better liquidity (higher working capital and current ratio), while Wal-Mart has better solvency (lower debt to assets ratio).

Calculate the estimated inventory at the end of November, assuming a markup on cost of 60%.

Answers

Answer:

Closing Stock = 38000

Explanation:

Net Sales = COGS + Gross Profit

Net sales = sales - sales return = 185000 - 6000 = 179000 Gross Profit = 60% of sales (as per gross profit ratio)

       = 60% of 179000 = 107400

COGS = Opening Stock + Net Purchase + direct expenses - Closing Stock

* Net purchase = Purchase - purchase return = 111000 - 4500 = 106500

*Direct Expense = Freight Inwards = 3100

Putting all values in formula :- Net Sales = COGS + Gross Profit

179000 = (0 + 106500 + 3100 - closing stock) + 107400

179000 = 106500 + 3100 + 107400 - closing stock

179000 = 217000 - closing stock

closing stock = 217000 - 179000

closing stock = 38000

What is the motivation for stockpiling? a. to avoid the unintended transformation of inventory before sale or use, rendering it inappropriate for its original purpose b. to produce at a level rate despite varying demand for the finished goods output c. to avoid delays in order fulfillment due to inadequate supply d. to save money by ordering large amounts that last longer and reduce the frequency of deliveries

Answers

Answer:

c. to avoid delays in order fulfillment due to inadequate supply

Explanation:

Stockpiling refers to keeping a large amount of inventory to have it avaiable in the future. Usually, companies do this when they think that the products may not be available to purchase it later and they decide to buy a large amount to avoid problems with the supply. According to this, the answer is that the motivation for stockpiling is to avoid delays in order fulfillment due to inadequate supply.

The other options are not right because having a large inventory is not related to be able to produce at a level rate, stockpiling can lead to unintended transformation of inventory and you might save money by ordering a large amount but you will increase your storage costs to maintain the inventory in a warehouse.

Byrd Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Byrd uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 100,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $1,100,000 comprised of $400,000 of variable costs and $700,000 of fixed costs. Byrd applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. During the current year, Byrd produced 71,800 putters, worked 99,000 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $197,450 and fixed overhead costs of $734,800. Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Variable Fixed Predetermined Overhead Rate $ $ Compute the applied overhead for Byrd for the year. Overhead Applied $ Compute the total overhead variance. Total Overhead Variance $

Answers

The predetermined variable overhead rate is $4.00 per direct labor hour, and the fixed overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor hour. The total overhead applied for Byrd is $1,089,000, and the total overhead variance for the year is $156,750.

To compute the predetermined variable overhead rate for Byrd Company, we divide the total budgeted variable overhead costs by the normal production capacity in terms of direct labor hours. With budgeted variable costs of $400,000 and a normal production capacity of 100,000 units or 100,000 direct labor hours, the predetermined variable overhead rate is $400,000 / 100,000 hours = $4.00 per direct labor hour.

Similarly, the predetermined fixed overhead rate is calculated by dividing the total budgeted fixed overhead costs by the normal production capacity in terms of direct labor hours. The budgeted fixed costs are $700,000 and, again, with the normal production capacity being 100,000 direct labor hours, the predetermined fixed overhead rate is $700,000 / 100,000 hours = $7.00 per direct labor hour.

To compute the overhead applied, Byrd would multiply the actual direct labor hours by each of the predetermined overhead rates. Byrd worked 99,000 direct labor hours, so the overhead applied is (99,000 hours
$4.00 / hour for variable overhead) + (99,000 hours
$7.00 / hour for fixed overhead), which equals $396,000 + $693,000, amounting to $1,089,000.

The total overhead variance is the difference between the actual overhead incurred and the overhead applied. Byrd's total actual overhead for the year is the sum of the actual variable overhead and actual fixed overhead costs, which is $197,450 + $734,800 = $932,250. Thus, the total overhead variance is $1,089,000 (applied) - $932,250 (actual) = $156,750.

Answers

Answer:

$11,000

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

net investing cash flows

= $21,000 - $10,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

It will cost $7,500 to acquire a cotton candy cart. Cart sales are expected to be $3,800 a year for four years.

We need to determine the amount of time required to payback the machine.

Year 1= 3,800 - 7,500= -3,700

Year 2= 3,800 - 3,700= 100

3,700/3,800= 0.97

It will take 1.97 years to payback the machine.

A firm with a cost of capital of 10% is evaluating two independent projects utilizing the internal rate of return technique. Project X has an initial investment of $70,000 and cash inflows at the end of each of the next five years of $25,000. Project Z has an initial investment of $120,000 and cash inflows at the end of each of the next four years of $35,000. The firm should ________.

Answers

Answer:

The firm should invest in project X, which yields a net return of $30,000

Explanation:

To determine the project for which the company should invest in, we will calculate the net return (profit) from each investment, and choose the project with the greater profit.

Project Z:

initial investment = $120,000

cash inflow per year = $35,000

cash inflow for the next four years = 35,000 × 4 = $140,000

Net return on investment = 140,000 - 120,000 = 20,000.

Next, you will notice that for the project X, a period of 5 years was given, while for project Z,  a 4 year period was given. In order to effectively compare both projects, we will use the same time period, hence, calculating the net return on project X after 4 years:

Project X:

initial investment = $70,000

cash inflow per year = $25,000

cash inflow for the next 4 years = 25,000 × 4 = 100,000

Net return on investment = 100,000 - 70,000 = $30,000

since the net return on investment for project X is greater than that for project Z by $10,000, the firm should invest in project Z.

Explanation:

Lance Brothers Enterprises acquired $755,000 of 4% bonds as a long-term investment when the market interest rate was 5%. They purchased the bonds for $675,000 on July 1, 2021, and will receive semiannual interest payments.

Journal Entry on Acquisition Date: July 1, 2021Debit Investments in Bonds $675,000Credit Cash $675,000Journal Entry on Interest Receipt Date: December 31, 2021

To record interest, we need to calculate the amount of interest income using the effective interest rate method:

Interest Income = Carrying amount of the bonds x Market interest rate per periodInterest Income = $675,000 x (5% / 2)Interest Income = $675,000 x 0.025Interest Income = $16,875

However, because the bonds have a stated interest rate of 4%, they will pay semiannual interest of:

Semiannual Interest Payment = Face value of bonds x Stated interest rate per periodSemiannual Interest Payment = $755,000 x (4% / 2)Semiannual Interest Payment = $15,100

Thus the journal entry on December 31, 2021, will be:

Explanation:

Lyons company needs to recognize $126,000 x 40% (tax rate) = $50,400 as deferred tax liability at 12/31/2020.

Deferred tax temporary differences exist because sometimes US GAAP rules are not consistent with the rules that the IRS uses to determine the current taxes of a firm. E.g. US GAAP does not recognize expensing the purchase of assets, but the IRS does. So you need to depreciate the assets in your accounting records, but the ax benefits have already been taken by the firm in the first year.

To determine the deferred amount for Lyon's Company related to the temporary difference at the end of 2020, calculate the future tax deduction on the insurance expense, resulting in a deferred tax liability of $33,600.

The deferred amount recorded for Lyon's in relation to the temporary difference at 12/31/20 can be calculated as follows:

Calculate the temporary difference in insurance expense: ($126,000 - $42,000) = $84,000Calculate the future tax deduction on insurance expense: $84,000 * 40% = $33,600Deferred tax liability to be recorded: $33,600

Company A purchased machinery with a list price of $96,000. They were given a 10% discount by the manufacturer. They paid $600 for shipping and sales tax of $4,500. Company A estimates that the machinery will have a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $30,000. If Compnay A uses straight-line depreciation, annual depreciation will be

Answers

Answer:

The annual depreciation will be $6,150

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the total cost of purchasing the machinery as follows

list price = $96,000

percentage discount = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

∴ Discount amount = 10% × 96,000 = 0.1 × 96,000 = $9,600

∴ New price after discount = 96,000 - 9,600 = $86,400

shipping cost = $600

sales tax = $4,500

Total cost of machinery = New price after discount + shipping cost + sales tax

= 86,400 + 600 + 4,500 = $91,500

useful life = 10 years

residual/salvage value = $30,000

Note that Straight-line depreciation allocates depreciation costs evenly over the useful life of the equipment, and the formula is shown below:

Straight-line depreciation = (cost of machinery - residual value) ÷ (useful life in years)

= (91,500 - 30,000) ÷ 10

= 61,500 ÷ 10 = $6,150

You own a company that produces pens. The marginal product of the last unit of labor input is 25 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital input is 75. The market wage is $10, if your company is using the optimal combination of inputs, then the price of capital is Select one: a. $250 b. $30 c. $187.5 d. $750

Answers

Answer:

Option(b) $30

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

marginal product of labor per capital should be equal to marginal product of capital i.e.

Marginal product of labor ÷ Price of capital = Marginal product of capital ÷ wage

Price of capital = Marginal product of labor × Wage ÷ Marginal product of capital

= (75 × $10) ÷ 25

Price of capital = $30

Final answer:

If the company is using the optimal combination of inputs, the marginal product of labor to the marginal product of capital should be equal to the market wage to the price of capital. Given the marginal products and a market wage of $10, the price of capital would be $30.

Explanation:

When a company is using the optimal combination of inputs, it follows that the ratio of the marginal products (MP) of the inputs should be equal to the ratio of their prices. This is known as the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS). Given that the marginal product of the last unit of labor (MPL) is 25 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital (MPK) is 75, and the market wage (price of labor) is $10, then the price of capital should be set so that MPL / MPK = Wage / Price of Capital.

Calculating this we get: 25 / 75 = $10 / Price of Capital, hence the Price of Capital = 75 * $10 / 25. This simplifies to 3 * $10, which is $30. Therefore, the correct answer is b. $30.

A chemical company produces a special industrial chemical that is a blend of three chemical ingredients.

Item Price Relative A B C

Answers

Answer:

The item price relative of ingredients A, B and C is 118, 113 and 91

Explanation:

Given

-----------------Cost per Pound ($)

Ingredient ---- Beginning ------ Ending Quantity (pounds) per 100 Pounds of Product

A ---------------- 2.50 ------ 2.95 ------ 25

B ---------------- 8.75 ------ 9.90 ------- 10

C ----------------- 0.99 ----- 0.90 ----- 60

Required

Calculate the price relatives for all ingredients

The price relatives for each ingredient is calculated using the following formula.

Price Relative = (P' * Q)/P°

Where

P' = Ending Cost per pound

P° = Beginning Cost per pound

Q = Quantity

The quantity is uniform for all products because it's measured per 100 pounds of each product.

So, Q = 100

Calculating Price Relative of A

P' of Ingredient A = 2.95

P° of Ingredient A = 2.50

By Substituting the right values in the given formula

P = (2.95 * 100)/2.50

P = 295/2.50

P = 118

Calculating Price Relative of B

P' of Ingredient B = 9.90

P° of Ingredient B = 8.75

By Substituting the right values in the given formula

P = (9.90 * 100)/8.75

P = 990/8.75

P = 113.1429

P = 113 ( Approximated)

Calculating Price Relative of C

P' of Ingredient C = 0.9

P° of Ingredient C = 0.99

By Substituting the right values in the given formula

P = (0.9 * 100)/0.99

P = 90/0.99

P = 90.90909

P = 91 (Approximated).

Hence, the item price relative of ingredients A, B and C is 118, 113 and 91

Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible receivables. At the beginning of the​ year, Allowance for Bad Debts had a credit balance of $ 1 comma 400. During the year Back wrote off uncollectible receivables of $ 2 comma 400. Back recorded Bad Debts Expense of $ 3 comma 000. Back's ​year-end balance in Allowance for Bad Debts is $ 2 comma 000. Back's ending balance of Accounts Receivable is $ 20 comma 900. Compute the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable at​ year-end.

Answers

Answer: $18,900

Explanation:

Seeing as this company uses the Allowance method for accounting for Uncollectible Receivables, only 2 figures here matter, the ending Account balance on the Receivables account and the Allowance for bad debts account.

The formula for the Net Realizable Value for Accounts Receivable is,

= Account Receivable Ending Balance - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Ending Balance

= 20,900 - 2,000

= $18,900

The Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable at​ year-end is $18,900.

With the Allowance method, only the Allowance is deducted. Bad debts are then removed from the Allowance account. If the Allowance increases or decreases there is an entry in the Income Statement as well but thats unrelated to this.

He should have avoided all concessions. He should have deferred to his superiors.

Answers

Answer:

He should have given the Japanese negotiators a menu of options including the lower price.

Explanation:

As it was already on cards that whenever you negotiate you need to have some preparation beforehand and have a complete list of options you would opt if your best options fails to be executed.

Hence, Mike should have given the Japanese a list of options so that It would be easy for them to think about the offer as well as give Mike the advantage to make his deal a success through different options. And if still the options weren't good enough for the Japanese, then Mike would only be left with the option of lowering the price but he would still had a more chance of getting his deal done if he had prepared those options as well.

Thanks.

Final answer:

When planning to enter a monopolistic market with lower prices, it's important to prepare for the monopolist's potential aggressive responses, including price matching, product enhancements, or tactics to restrict market entry.

Explanation:

When managing a small firm and considering entering the market of a monopolist who is charging high prices, it's crucial to anticipate the monopolist's potential reactions. As you plan to offer a product at 10% lower than the monopolist's price, you should consider the possibility that the monopolist could respond aggressively to maintain their market dominance. This could include lowering their prices to match or beat yours, improving their product's quality or features to justify their higher price, or leveraging their market power to hinder your firm's market entry, such as through exclusive contracts with suppliers or distributors.

Toyota Motor Corporation uses target costing. Assume that Toyota marketing personnel estimate that the competitive selling price for the Camry in the upcoming model year will need to be $27,000. Assume further that the Camry's total unit cost for the upcoming model year is estimated to be $22,500 and that Toyota requires a 20% profit margin on selling price (which is equivalent to a 25% markup on total cost). a. What price will Toyota establish for the Camry for the upcoming model year?

Answers

Toyota will set the Camry's price at $27,000 for the upcoming model year to meet the required 20% profit margin on sales.

The question involves calculating the price Toyota should set for the Camry, given the required profit margin. Toyota requires a 20% profit margin on the selling price, which would be the additional amount on top of the cost to achieve the desired profit level. The selling price can be found as follows:

Calculate the profit by multiplying the total unit cost by the profit margin: $22,500 × 20% = $4,500.

Add the profit to the total unit cost to get the selling price. $22,500 + $4,500 = $27,000.

Therefore, Toyota will establish the Camry's price at $27,000 for the upcoming model year to meet the required profit margin.

a. The price that Toyota will establish for the Camry for the upcoming model year is $27,000.

Given Data:

- Competitive selling price estimate: $27,000

- Total unit cost estimate: $22,500

- Profit margin on selling price required: [tex]\( 20\% \)[/tex] (equivalent to a [tex]\( 25\% \)[/tex] markup on total cost)

Part a:

Toyota uses target costing, which means they set the selling price based on the target cost and desired profit margin.

1. Calculate the target cost:

Target cost is derived from the competitive selling price and the desired profit margin.

Given:

- Competitive selling price = $27,000

- Desired profit margin on selling price = [tex]\( 20\% \)[/tex]

Profit margin = [tex]\( 20\% \) of \( $27,000 \)[/tex]

 [tex]\[ \text{Profit} = 0.2 \times 27000 = $5,400 \][/tex]

Target cost = Competitive selling price - Profit

[tex]\[ \text{Target Cost} = 27000 - 5400 = $21,600 \][/tex]

So, Toyota will target a cost of $21,600  per unit.

2. Establish the selling price:

Toyota will establish the selling price based on the target cost and the desired profit margin on selling price.

Competitive selling price = Target cost + Profit

[tex]\[ \text{Selling Price} = 21600 + 5400 = $27,000 \][/tex]

Therefore, Toyota will establish the selling price of $27,000 for the Camry in the upcoming model year.

The complete question is

Toyota Motor Corporation uses target costing. Assume that Toyota marketing personnel estimate that the competitive selling price for the Camry in the upcoming model year will need to be $27,000.

Answers

Answer:

What is marginal revenue when quantity is 30 ? 30?

$70

= ($2,400 - $1,350) / (30 - 15) = $900 / 15 = $70  

What is marginal cost when quantity is 60 ? 60?

$60

= ($3,150 - $2,250) / (60 - 45) = $900 / 15 = $60

If this firm is a monopoly, at what quantity will profit be maximized?

quantity: 45 units

a monopoly maximizes its accounting profit when marginal revenue = marginal cost, in this case they both equal $50 per unit when total output is 45 units

If this is a perfectly competitive market, which quantity will be produced?

quantity: 45 units

a perfectly competitive firm maximizes its accounting profit when marginal revenue = marginal cost, in this case they both equal $50 per unit when total output is 45 units

Comparing monopoly to perfect competition, which statement is true?

The consumer surplus is smaller with a monopoly. The monopoly's price is higher.

In a monopoly, output is smaller than the perfectly competitive output. The price charged by a monopolist is also higher. This also results in lower consumer surplus with a monopoly.

Explanation:

Quantity      Price       Total Revenue            Total Cost

15                 90                   1350                         900

30                80                   2400                      1500

45                70                    3150                      2250

60                60                  3600                       3150

75                50                   3750                      4200

90                40                  3600                      5400

The marginal revenue is $70, when the quantity is 30.

The marginal cost is $60 when quantity is 60.

If this firm is a monopoly, at 450units the profit will be maximized.

In perfect competition, a firm produces where price and marginal cost both are equal. Both price and marginal cost are equal at 60 units. Comparing monopoly to perfect competition, the monopoly's price is higher. Thus, the first option is correct.

A financial ratio called the marginal revenue (MR)formula estimates the change in total revenue brought on by the sale of more goods or units. It typically slows down as output levels rise and is observed to follow the rule of diminishing returns. It is frequently shown as a graph with a declining slope.

Marginal revenue at 30 units of quantity:

= Change in Total Revenue / Change in Quantity

2400 - 1350 / 30 - 15

= $70

Marginal cost at 60 units of quantity:

= Change in Total Cost / Change in Quantity

= 3150 - 2250 / 60 - 45

= $60

If the firm is a monopoly then marginal profit will be zero at 45 units. If marginal revenue and marginal cost both are equal then marginal profit can be zero

In perfect competition, a firm produces where price and marginal cost both are equal. Both price and marginal cost are equal at 60 units

Comparing monopoly to perfect competition, the monopoly's price is higher .As in monopoly, the price at 45 units is $70 and in perfect competition, the price at 60 units is $60.

The labor rate variance for January is: Multiple Choice $407 F $407 U $2,833 U $2,833 F

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual direct labor hours= 2,824

Actual direct labor cost= $75,841

Actual direct labor rate= 75,841/2,824= $26.86

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need the standard cost information. I will provide the formula and an invented standard cost per hour to guide an answer.

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Standard cost per direct labor hour= 30

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (30 - 26.86)*2,824

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $8,867.36 favorable

It is favorable because the cost per hour was lower than estimated.

Answers

Answer:

estimated direct labor hours= 35,700 hours

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $821,100.

Actual direct-labor hours= 36,280 hours

Actual manufacturing overhead= $790,000

Manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $44,440.

We need to reverse engineer the overhead application process to calculate the estimated direct labor hours.

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

-44,440= 790,000 - allocated overhead

allocated overhead= 834,440

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

834,440= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*36,280

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $23

Finally, we can determine the estimated direct labor hours:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

23= 821,100/ estimated direct labor hours

estimated direct labor hours= 821,100/23

estimated direct labor hours= 35,700 hours

Explanation:

According to the given data we have that the book value of division's assets is $28.9 million and fair value of division’s assets is $22.2 million.

Therefore, in order to calculate the amount of impairment loss should C&R recognize we would have to use the following formula:

impairment loss=book value of division's assets - fair value of division’s assets

impairment loss=$28.9 million-$22.2 million

impairment loss=$6,700,000

The amount of impairment loss should C&R recognize is $6,700,000

The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:

Answers

Answer:

$26,000

Explanation:

The calculation of Net increase or decrease in income on replacement is shown below:-

Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years = Variable manufacturing costs × Life

= $19,800 × 4

= $79,200

Net Investment to be made in New machine = Initial investment of new machine - Traded in value of old machine

= $128,000 - $22,800

= $105,200

Net financial disadvantage of replacement = Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years - Net Investment to be made in New machine

= $79,200 - $105,200

= $26,000

So, for computing the net financial disadvantage of replacement we simply applied the above formula.

On June 1, Sawyer Co. borrowed $5,000 by extending their past-due account payable with a 45-day, 12% interest-bearing note. On July 16, the due date, Sawyer pays the amount due in full. Sawyer would record this payment with a (debit/credit) _______ to Interest Expense in the amount of _______.


A. credit; $600

B. debit; $75

C. debit; $600

D. credit; $75

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Note receivable is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.

The interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

In this case, the total interest expense is $5,000 x 12%/12 x 1.5 months = $75.

Therefor, total debit to interest expense is $75.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

The amount borrowed is an expense to Sawyer Co. Therefore it has to be recorded as a credit transaction in their Interest Expense Account by the interest on the $5,000 that was borrowed.

The interest on the $5,000 is calculated by apply the rate (12%) on $5,000.

= 5000(12/100)

= 50*12

= $600

The actual amount is gotten by dividing the interest by 12 months and multiplying by a month and a half (45 days) assuming that a month is 30 days.

= (600/12)1.5

= $50 * 1.5

= $75

The principle of double-entry in accounting states that you must always credit any increase in liability and debit a decrease in an amount due to another.
