Yager Corporation should expense $1,890,000 for mineral depletion in 2020. This is calculated using the units of production method, where the depletion rate per ton is determined and then multiplied by the number of tons removed during the year.
Explanation:To calculate the amount of depletion expense for Yager Corporation for the year 2020, we need to apply the units of production method. This method allocates the cost of the natural resource based on the proportion of total estimated units extracted during the period.
The total cost of the mine less the residual value gives us the depletable cost basis:
Purchase price: $5,100,000Residual value: $300,000Development costs: $1,500,000Total depletable cost: ($5,100,000 - $300,000) + $1,500,000 = $6,300,000The depletion rate per ton is calculated by dividing the total depletable cost by the total estimated reserves:
Depletion rate per ton = $6,300,000 / 2,000,000 tons = $3.15 per ton
The depletion expense for the tons removed in 2020 is:
Depletion expense = 600,000 tons removed x $3.15 depletion rate per ton = $1,890,000
Therefore, Yager Corporation should expense $1,890,000 for mineral depletion in 2020.
Wilbert’s, Inc. paid $90,000, in cash, for a piece of equipment three years ago. Last year, the company spent $10,000 to update the equipment with the latest technology. The company no longer uses this equipment in its current operations and has received an offer of $50,000 from a firm who would like to purchase it. Wilbert’s is debating whether to sell the equipment or to expand its operations such that the equipment can be used. When evaluating the expansion option, what value, if any, should Wilbert’s assign to this equipment as an initial cost of the project?a.$40,000b.$50,000c.$60,000d.$80,000e.$90,000
Answer:
b.$50,000
Explanation:
The paid $90,000 and additional $10,000 spent on this equipment is the cost of this equipment, but maybe have been amortized fully in current project already; so we do not need to indicate these amount in the new project.
The company has received an offer of $50,000 for selling this piece of equipment, thus this is an opportunity cost of the project.
And the company should assign this as an initial cost of the project.
Which of the following is true?Select one:a. Overhead costs are often affected by many issues and are frequently too complex to be explained by any one factor.b. The departmental overhead rate is not usually based on measures closely related to production volume.c. The departmental overhead rate is most accurate in assigning overhead costs that are not driven by production volume.d. Allocated overhead costs will be the same no matter which allocation method is used.e. When cost analysts are able to logically trace cost objects to costs, costing accuracy is improved.
Answer:
e. When cost analysts are able to logically trace cost objects to costs, costing accuracy is improved.
Explanation:
Overhead costs are costs which can not be attributed to a particular item . So it is distributed among more than one item on some basis.
For example electricity cost is a common overhead in a company having two machines one producing pen and the other producing paper . The overhead electricity cost can be scientifically apportioned in the cost analysis of pen and paper on the basis of wattage capacity of machines used in the manufacture of pen and paper .

Trudeau, Inc. is considering Project A and Project B, which are two mutually exclusive projects with unequal lives.
Project A is an eight-year project that has an initial outlay or cost of $140,000. its future cash inflows for years 1 through 8 are the same at $36,500. Project B is a six-year project that has an initial outlay or cost of $160,000. its future cash flows for year 1 through 6 are the same at 48,000. Trudeau's discount rate (hurdle rate) is 13%.a. find the Net Present Value of Project A and B. if Trudeau has enough resources to invest both into project A and B separately, will he accept them?b. calculate IRR for Project A and B, will he accept these projects based on IRR method?
Answer:
NPV
Project A - $35,155.12
Project B - $31,882.39
Tradeau would choose both project A and B
IRR
Project A - 20.01%
Project B - 19.91%
Tradeau would choose both project A and B
Explanation:
The NPV is the discounted cash flow less the amount invested.
The IRR is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
The NPV and IRR can be found using a financial calculator:
NPV and IRR for project A
Cash flow for year 0 = $-140,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 -8 = $36,500
I = 13%
NPV = $35,155.12
IRR = 20.01%
NPV and IRR for project B
Cash flow for year 0 = $-160,000
Cash flow for year one to six = $48,000
I =13%
NPV = $31,882.39
IRR = 19.91%
The decision criteria using the NPV is to choose the project with postive NPV. both projects have a positive NPV so they would both be chosen.
The decision criteria using the IRR is to choose the project with IRR greater than the discount rate. Both IRRs are greater than the discount rate, so both projects would be chosen.

This will give you the Present value for each year. Lastly, sum up individual PVs to get the value of the firm.
Paradise Corp. has determined a standard labor cost per unit of $10.20 (1 hour × $10.20 per hour). Last month, Paradise incurred 1,650 direct labor hours for which it paid $16,005. The company also produced and sold 1,700 units during the month.
Calculate the direct labor rate, efficiency, and spending variances. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable.)
Direct Labor Rate Variance
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
Total Direct Labor Spending Variance
Answer:
Direct Labor Rate Variance = $825 favorable
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance = $510 favorable
Total Direct Labor Spending Variance = $1,335 favorable
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
Direct Labor Rate Variance
= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours
= ($10.20 - $16,005 ÷ 1,650 labor hours) × 1,650 direct labor hours
= ($10.20 - $9.7) × 1,650 direct labor hours
= $825 favorable
Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
= (Standard Hours allowed - Actual hours) × Standard rate
= (1,700 units × 1 hour - 1,650 hours) × $10.20
= (1,700 hours - 1,650 hours) × $10.20
= $510 favorable
Total Direct Labor Spending Variance
= Standard cost - actual cost
= 1,700 hours × $10.20 - $16,005
= $17,340 - $16,005
= $1,335 favorable

Parker owned all of Odom Inc.Although the Investment in Odom Inc. account had a balance of $834,000, the subsidiary's 12,000 shares had an underlying book value of only $56 per share.On January 1, 2011, Odom issued 3,000 new shares to the public for $70 per share.How does this transaction affect the Investment in Odom Inc. account?a) It should be decreased by $141,120.b) It should be increased by $176,400.c) It should be increased by $48,000.d) It should be decreased by $128,400.e) It is not affected since the shares were sold to outside parties.
Answer:
The answer is d) It should be decreased by $128,400
Explanation:
We have the Total stock holder's equity of Odom is:
Book value of 12,000 outstanding shares + Value of 3,000 newly issued shares = 12,000 x 56 + 3,000 x 70 = $882,000
% of holding Parker has in Odom after the new issuance = 12,000 / (12,000+3,000) = 80%
=> Investment in Odom account balance should be recorded at: 80% x Total stock holder's equity of Odom = 0.8 x 882,000 = $705,600
=> Investment in Odom account should be written down by 705,600 - 834,000 = $(128,400).
So d is the correct choice.
Elected officials should be excluded from the planning process because of the potential for political influence.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
Answer:
The answer is False
Explanation:
Democracy identifies that people have the power to decide for themselves. However, since the populations are vast, the representative democracy allows citizens to elect officials to represent themselves and their needs and interests.
If elected officials are banned, then the Citizen's ability to govern themselves and participate in the planning process is prevented.
Final answer:
The claim that elected officials should be excluded from the planning process due to potential political influence is false; their role is vital in representing constituents. Dillon's Rule restricts, not expands, local government powers, and direct democracy involves citizens voting directly rather than daily politician interactions. Machine politics often led to higher taxes due to corruption.
Explanation:
The statement that 'elected officials should be excluded from the planning process because of the potential for political influence' is FALSE. While it's a valid concern that elected officials might be influenced by politics, it's also part of their role to represent the interests of their constituents within the planning process. They are elected to serve the public interest, and excluding them could undermine the democratic process. Moreover, officials can bring valuable knowledge and oversight to policy discussions. On the other hand, Dillon's Rule does not give local governments freedom and flexibility; rather, it is a principle stating that local governments have only those powers granted by the state and no more. Direct democracy is not about daily interactions with politicians, but rather it implies citizens making decisions through referendums or other forms of vote without intermediary representatives.
Government planners rely on experts such as scientists to provide objective advice in policy-making; however, creating a policy where any failing prediction results in permanent exclusion could lead to overly conservative recommendations and stifle innovation. Thus, incorporating a mixture of elected officials, experts, and public opinion is typically considered a balanced approach in policy-making. In the U.S., the system is not a true democracy as it operates as a republic, where citizens elect representatives to make policy decisions on their behalf.
Concerning colonial governors, they did have the power to veto legislation from colonial assemblies, reflecting the centralized authority of the governing structures of the time. The definition of executive authority is unrelated to the idea of the prime minister or president being 'the leader of the free world'; this is a colloquialism that does not accurately describe executive powers.
Regarding term limits, whether they've led to a significant increase in the number of women in state legislatures is a matter that requires statistical evidence to support. Lastly, a disadvantage of machine politics included the fact that taxpayers often faced higher city taxes due to corrupt practices.
One of the reasons the reporting of national news is relatively uniform among news source is that
A. The government dictates much of what is reported
B. There are only a few important events each day that merit news coverage
C. The network newscasts are brief and the day's top stories tend to dominate
D. Reporters are not given much freedom by their editors
Answer:
The correct option is C
Explanation:
The major reason why there is relative uniformity in the national news source is because the number of news organization and news services are responsible for generating most of the news, hence the option that network newscast are brief and hence the days top stories tend to dominate is the best option.
Answer:
B. There are only a few important events each day that merit news coverage.
Explanation:
The news sources strive to report important news, thereby making the reporting of the stories relatively uniform. These important stories would be broadcast by the network newscasts but in various dimensions.
The major reason for uniformity among news source is that important daily events are few, and these are what the majority of people intend to be abreast of. No one is interested in irrelevant stories.
A good example is the case of the corona virus 2019 that has bedeviled the whole world at present, most networks broadcast this and a few other stories. This is because they intend to report what majority of their followers wish to know and there are few important stories for the day.
Jim Bob Airlines has one 57 seat plane. On its last five flights it had 44 passengers from MSY to DFW, 49 passengers from DFW to OKL, 36 passengers from OKL to TUL, 30 passengers from TUL to FWB, and 49 passengers from FWB to MSY. For the last five flights, what was the load factor? (Make sure your answer is accurate to one decimal place)
Solution:
Total number of seats in the plane = 57
From MSY to DFW = 44 passangers
From DFW to OKL = 49 passangers
From OKL to TUL = 36 passangers
From TUL to FWB = 30 passangers
From FWB to MYS = 49 passangers
So the average number of seats filled per flight
= (44+49+36+30+49) / 5
= 208/5
= 41.6
For the last 5 flights Load factor = Average number of seats filled per flight / Total number of seats in the plane
= 41.6 / 57
= 0.7298
= 72.9%
So for the last five flights the load factor was 72.9%
A ScrumMaster's role is to also be a Servant Leader. Which of the following characteristics is not a Servant Leader characteristic?
Select one:
A. Let's go and have a cup of coffee and let's discuss what I can do for you.
B. Needs of the Scrum team are met
C. How can I help you?
D. What are you going to do for me today?
Answer:
D. What are you going to do for me today?
Explanation:
The leader should be first a servant, having a desire to serve than to be served. This makes a leader has authority and not just power by having interactions with ones he leads. He is not just interested in building himself but contributing to growth and development of the people around him.
Therefore asking what one will do for you is not a Servant Leader characteristic because it puts the leader first before the people.

Farah Snack Co. has earnings after taxes of $108,750. Interest expense for the year was $20,000; preferred dividends paid were $18,750; and common dividends paid were $30,000. Taxes were $15,000. The firm has 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Earnings per share on the common stock was?
Answer:
$0.9
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Earnings after taxes = $108,750
Interest expense for the year = $20,000
Preferred dividends paid = $18,750
Common dividends paid = $30,000
Common stock outstanding = 100,000 shares
Now,
Earning available on common stock
= Earnings after taxes - Preferred dividends paid
= $108,750 - $18,750
= $90,000
Therefore,
Earnings per share on the common stock
= Earning available on common stock ÷ Common stock outstanding
= $90,000 ÷ 100,000
= $0.9
Factor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs:
Direct material $ 8.10
Direct labor 24.10
Overhead 40.50
Total product cost per unit $ 72.70
1. An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $42.35 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 70% of its overhead. Factor should choose to ___________?
Answer:
the relevant cost to make is $44.35
Explanation:
given data
Direct material = $ 8.10
Direct labor = 24.10
Overhead = 40.50
Total product cost per unit = $ 72.70
Cost of purchase = $42.35
solution
we know here that 70% of overhead cost is unavoidable
so we can say that it will not be considered for decision making
so here Cost of manufacturing will be
Cost of manufacturing = $8.10 + $24.10 + ( 30% of $40.50 )
Cost of manufacturing = $44.35
and
Cost of purchase is = $42.35
so here we can say the relevant cost to make is $44.35

Hart, an individual, bought an asset for $500,000 and has claimed $100,000 of depreciation deductions against the asset. Hart has a marginal tax rate of 32 percent. What is the amount and character of Hart's recognized gain or loss if the asset is tangible personal property sold for $550,000?
Answer:
Gain of $150,000.
Explanation:
The recognized gain/loss of an asset is calculated as below:
Recognized gain/loss of a liquidated asset = Sales price - Net book value of a liquidated asset
= Sales price - (Original purchase cost of a liquidated asset - Accumulated depreciation)
Putting all the number, we get:
Recognized gain/loss of Hart's asset = 550,000 - (500,000 - 100,000) = $150,000
Note: tax rate is only relevant when the question is about calculated casfh inflow from liquidating an asset. If that is the case, we take sale price , then subtracted by the tax on gain/loss.

So the correct answer is that K's Estate will receive her proceeds when she dies.
Freda's Florist reported the following before-tax income statement items for the year ended December 31, 2018:Operating income $ 250,000Income on discontinued operations 70,000All income statement items are subject to a 40% income tax rate. In its 2018 income statement, Freda's separately stated income tax expense and total income tax expense would be:(A) $100,000 and $100,000, respectively.
(B) $128,000 and $100,000, respectively.
(C) $128,000 and $128,000, respectively.
(D) $100,000 and $128,000, respectively.
Answer:
Income tax expense
= 40% x $250,000 = $100,000
Total income tax expense
= 40% x ($250,000 +$70,000) = $128,000
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
The income tax expense is calculated on the operating income of $250,000 while the total income tax expense is calculated on the gross income of $320,000. Tax is computed at the rate of 40% of the income respectively.
Freda's Florist's separately stated income tax expense and total income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, would be $100,000 and $128,000, respectively. We arrive at these values by applying a 40% tax rate to the combined operating income and income from discontinued operations.
Explanation:To calculate Freda's Florist total income tax expense, we would first need to determine the taxable income, which includes both the operating income and the income on discontinued operations. Let's start by summing those two incomes:
Operating income: $250,000
Income on discontinued operations: $70,000
Total taxable income: $320,000
Then, we apply the tax rate of 40% on this total taxable income to get the total tax expense:
$320,000 * 40% = $128,000.
The separate income tax expense is calculated by applying the tax rate to the operating income: $250,000 * 40% = $100,000.
So, Freda's Florist separately stated income tax expense and total income tax expense would be $100,000 and $128,000, respectively. Therefore, answer '(D)' is correct.

The Pinetop Corporation issues 1,000 shares of 6%, $100 par value preferred stock at the beginning of 2014. All remaining shares are common stock. The company was not able to pay dividends in 2014, but plans to pay dividends of $18,000 in 2015. Assuming the preferred stock is cumulative, how much of the $18,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders in 2015
Answer:
$12,000 and $6,000
Explanation:
For computing the dividend, first we have to find out the yearly dividend which is shown below:
= Number of shares × par value per share × dividend rate × number of years
= 1,000 shares × $100 × 6% × 2 years
= $12,000
Out of $18,000, the $12,000 will be paid to preferred stockholders and the remaining $6,000 will be paid to common stockholders

Jordan can deduct $348.54 as the business portion of the finance charges from his personal credit card on his Schedule C.
Jordan wants to determine how much of the finance charges paid on his personal credit card can be deducted for business purposes on his Schedule C. Given that the total finance charges for the year were $942 and that Jordan's total business charges on the card were 37% of all charges, we can calculate the deductible business interest expense.
We start by calculating the portion of the finance charges that correspond to business use: 37% of $942. To find this amount, we multiply the total finance charges by the percentage that represents business use. So, the calculation would be 0.37 × $942, which equals $348.54.
This means that Jordan can deduct $348.54 as interest expenses for his business on his Schedule C.
