Variable overhead application rate per standard direct labor hour

$2.50

What was Monroe's production-volume variance for April?

a.

$187.50 favorable

b.

$187.50 unfavorable

c.

$437.50 favorable

d.

$437.50 unfavorable

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Fixed overhead absorption rate

= Budgeted fixed overhead

  Budgeted activity level

= $12,000

    16,000 hours

= $0.75 per hour

Production volume variance

= (Standard hours - Budgeted hours) x Fixed overhead rate

= (16,250 - 16,000) x $0.75

= $187.5(F)

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

First and foremost, we need to calculate fixed overhead absorption rate, which is the ratio of budgeted fixed overhead to budgeted hours. then, we will calculate the production volume variance, which is the difference between standard hours and budgeted hours multiplied by fixed overhead absorption rate.

Answer 2

Final answer:

Monroe, Inc. has a production-volume variance of $187.50 unfavorable for April. This variance is calculated by subtracting the applied fixed factory overhead based on the standard direct labor hours allowed from the budgeted fixed factory overhead. The negative result indicates less efficiency in production volume. Option B

Explanation:

To calculate the production-volume variance for Monroe, Inc., we assess the difference between the budgeted fixed factory overhead and the applied fixed factory overhead. The budgeted fixed factory overhead for April is given as $12,000. Since the total overhead application rate per standard direct labor hour is $3.25, and the fixed portion of this is the total rate minus the variable rate ($3.25 - $2.50), this gives us a fixed overhead rate of $0.75 per standard direct labor hour.

Next, we apply this fixed overhead rate to the standard direct labor hours allowed, which totals to $0.75 \* 16,250 hours = $12,187.50 as the applied fixed factory overhead for the production volume actually achieved.

The production-volume variance is then the difference between the budgeted and applied figures: $12,000 (Budgeted) - $12,187.50 (Applied) = -$187.50. This means that Monroe's production-volume variance for April is $187.50 unfavorable, as the company applied more fixed overhead than budgeted due to the production volume, indicating less efficiency.

Required :
1. What was the amount of net cash provided by​ (used for) investing​ activities?

Answers

Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Equipment was purchased = $ 69,000 with cash.

Equipment with a cost = $ 37, 000

Accumulated depreciation = $ 7,000 was sold for $45,000

Net cash provided (used) by investing activities:

= Proceeds from sale of equipment - Equipment purchase for cash

= $ 45,000 - $69,000

= $24,000

Therefore, the amount of net cash provided by​ (used for) investing​ activities is $24,000.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

Complete question:

In the workplace, racial discrimination is a very serious issue. Consider a company in which 20% of the employees are African-American. At the end of the year, promotions are awarded to a group of employees. Out of the 40 promotions awarded, five are African-American. Given that the awarding follows the binomial distribution, B(40,.2).

a) How many African-Americans would you expect to get promotions?

b) What is the probability that five African-Americans receive promotions?

c) What is the probability that five or fewer African-Americans receive promotions?

d) Do you think the company is suspect of racial discrimination? Explain your thinking.

a) As this situation can be modeled by a binomial distribution B(40,0.2), the expected number of African-Americans that get promotions can be calculated as the expected value of the binomial distribution:

[tex]X\sim B(40,0.2)\\\\E(X)=np=40*0.2=8[/tex]

It is expected that 8 African-Americans get promotions.

b) Accordingly to the binomial distribution, we have:

There is a 8.6% probability that 5 African-Americans get promotions.

c) We have to calculate the probabilities for X=0,1,2,3,4 and 5.

[tex]P(X\leq5)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\\\\\P(X=0)=\frac{40!}{0!40!}*0.2^0*0.8^{40}=1*1*0.00013=0\\\\P(X=1)=\frac{40!}{1!39!}*0.2^1*0.8^{39}=40*0.2*0.00017=0.001\\\\P(X=2)=\frac{40!}{2!38!}*0.2^2*0.8^{38}=780*0.04*0.00021=0.007\\\\P(X=3)=\frac{40!}{3!37!}*0.2^3*0.8^{37}=9880*0.008*0.00026=0.021\\\\P(X=4)=\frac{40!}{4!36!}*0.2^4*0.8^{36}=91390*0.0016*0.00032=0.047\\\\P(X=5)=\frac{40!}{5!35!}*0.2^5*0.8^{35}=658008*0.00032*0.00041=0.086[/tex]

All of the following statements concerning shortage are true, EXCEPT: Group of answer choices
a. shortage costs are often times just an educated guess because lost customers are hard to quantify
b. shortage costs decrease as inventory on hand increases
c. shortage costs increase as total carrying costs increase
d. shortage costs can relate to temporary, as well as permanent, loss of sales

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": shortage costs increase as total carrying costs increase.

Explanation:

A shortage takes place when the quantity demanded is higher than the supply at the current price. Typically, shortages occur because of an increase in demand, a decrease in supply or due to government policies. Shortage costs are those costs a firm is responsible for because the is no enough stock in its inventory. When shortage costs increase, the carrying costs do not necessarily increase.

Final answer:

The false statement about shortage costs is that they increase as total carrying costs increase. In reality, shortage costs tend to decrease with higher inventory levels, while carrying costs increase, making them inversely related.

Explanation:

The statement concerning shortage costs that is NOT true is: "shortage costs increase as total carrying costs increase." Shortage costs are related to situations where the demand for a product exceeds the supply. Shortage costs do indeed rise with decreased inventory because there's a higher probability of running out of stock and missing sales opportunities. However, carrying costs are the expenses associated with holding inventory, and these costs tend to increase with larger inventories. Therefore, carrying costs and shortage costs are often inversely related; as one increases, the other tends to decrease.

Here's why the other options are true:  

Shortage costs are challenging to calculate because it's difficult to quantify the value of lost customers or sales that didn't happen due to stockouts.As inventory on hand increases, the likelihood of a shortage decreases, hence shortage costs tend to decrease as well.Shortage costs can be associated with both temporary sales losses, like those due to an item being out of stock, and permanent losses, such as a customer deciding to permanently switch to a competitor.

eConnect, an online retailer, fulfills its online orders by shipping its products directly to customers in all 50 states. eConnect does not have a brick-and-mortar store presence in any state, but does operate distribution centers in various states across the country, including State X. Consistent with its practice in all 50 states, eConnect does not collect or remit sales tax to State X.In court rulings in 2005, State X had taken the position that operating a distribution center within a state constitutes nexus and thus would subject that company to collect and remit sales tax on all sales within that state.As of December 31, 2011, eConnect has operated its distribution center in State X for five years and has never collected or remitted sales tax to State X. The company considers the risk of detection to not be probable, hence no contingency needs to be recognized. However, eConnect has estimated the total amount of sales tax payable to the state for the past five years to be $50 million plus $6 million in interest and $4 million in penaltiesOn March 15, 2012, Mr. Needmoney, the governor of State X, established a tax amnesty program. The program provides that any unregistered taxpayer who voluntarily registers to collect sales tax on a prospective basis will be forgiven (1) 50 percent of all unpaid sales tax and (2) all interest and penalties on unpaid taxes. On the same date of this announcement, eConnect management decides to take advantage of this program.On June 15, 2012, eConnect completes the necessary paperwork and other actions to participate in the program and pays State X $25 million to settle its obligation through December 31, 2011.Required: (Please explain your answer!)Should eConnect restate financial statements prior to 2011 and why?What amounts, if any, should be recognized in the financial statements associated with the $25 million payment on June 15, 2012?

Answers

Answer:No, eConnect does not need to restate financial statement prior to 2011

B. No amount would be recognized in the financial statement associated with the S25million payment on June 15, 2012 but the amount should be debited to 2011 as prior year adjustment.

Explanation:

Though the S25 million payment refers to the account year preceding 2011 and 2011 but a debit to the retained earnings of 2011 will provide the same effect as debiting to the prior years before 2011.

The S25 million payment in 2012 though a direct reduction in cash asset to be debited to bank account for the year but it will only be recognized as a prior year adjustment and no other amount will be associated with it .

Final answer:

eConnect does not need to restate its financial statements prior to 2011 as it did not recognize any contingent liability for the potential sales tax and related penalties. The $25 million payment made on June 15, 2012, should be recognized as an expense in the financial statements for that period.

Explanation:

Given the information in the question, it is not necessary for eConnect to restate its financial statements before 2011. The reasoning behind this conclusion lies in the fact that the company did not recognize any contingent liability for the potential sales tax and related penalties in those years because they estimated that the chances of detection were not probable. Therefore, no restatement of the financial statements for these previous years is required.

As for the amount to be recognized in connection with the $25 million payment on June 15, 2012, this should be recognized as an expense in the financial statements for the period in which the payment was made. Specifically, this is a liability that was incurred due to the company's past actions (i.e., sales made without collecting and remitting applicable sales tax), and it was settled during this period, so it should be reflected in the company's financial performance and position for this period.

A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating element, which it can produce at the rate of 860 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 251 days a year, at a rate of 330 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates, the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,300 units.

a. Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Number of batches
b. If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, how much inventory will be on hand 2 days later? Number of inventory
c.What is the average inventory of elements, assuming each production cycle begins when there are none on hand? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Average inventory
d. The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to make a component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require 3 days, including setup. Setup time for making a batch of the heating elements is a half day. Is there enough time to do this job between production of batches of heating elements?

i. No
ii. Yes

Answers

Final answer:

The company produces approximately 93.85 batches of heating elements annually, has an inventory of 1,060 units two days after production, and maintains an average inventory of 1,150 units. Furthermore, there is enough time to produce other products between batches of heating element production.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to understand the company's production and consumption rates of the heating elements for their hair dryers.

a. The company produces elements at a rate of 860 per day and runs 251 days per year. Thus, they produce around 215,860 elements annually. As they produce elements in batches of 2,300, the number of batches produced annually will be 215,860 divided by 2,300, which is approximately 93.85. So, the company produces about 93.85 batches of heating elements annually.

b. Two days after the production of a batch, the company will have produced 2 * 860 = 1,720 elements but used 2 * 330 = 660, thus having an inventory of 1,060 units.

c. To calculate the average inventory, we take the sum of the maximum and minimum inventory (2,300 and 0, respectively) and divide by 2, leading to an average inventory of 1,150 units.

d. The time between production of batches of heating elements is the total quantity in a batch divided by the net increase per day (860-330). This equals 2,300/(860-330) approximately 4.8 days. Given that the other product takes 3 days to make, including setup, there is enough time to produce it between batches of heating elements.

#SPJ12

The correct answer is Yes. The company produces approximately 36.01 batches of heating elements annually. Inventory after 2 days will be 1,060 elements. The average inventory is 1,150 elements, and there is enough time to complete another job between production batches.

Let's break down the problem step-by-step:

a. Number of batches produced annually

First, calculate the total number of heating elements used annually:
Annual usage = 330 hair dryers/day × 251 days/year = 82,830 heating elements/year.Next, determine the number of batches needed to produce this quantity:
Number of batches = 82,830 heating elements/year ÷ 2,300 elements/batch ≈ 36.01 batches/year.
Thus, the company produces approximately 36.01 batches annually.

b. Inventory after 2 days

Two days of production at the rate of 860 elements/day:
Stock produced in 2 days = 860 elements/day × 2 days = 1,720 elements.
Since 2 days of hair dryer assembly uses 330 elements/day × 2 days = 660 elements,
Inventory on hand = 1,720 elements produced - 660 elements used = 1,060 elements.

c. Average inventory

Each batch of 2,300 elements is used over approximately 6.97 days (2,300 elements ÷ 330 elements/day). The average inventory is given by the formula for the average of a linear function:
Average inventory = Batch size/2 = 2,300 elements ÷ 2 = 1,150 elements.

d. Time for other job

The time available for other work is the time between the end of one batch and the start of the next batch, which is the total length of the usage period for a batch:
Time to use up a batch = 2290 elements ÷ 330 elements/day ≈ 6.97 days.
Subtracting the batch setup time of half a day and comparing this with the 3 days needed for the other job, we have: 6.97 days - 0.5 days setup time = 6.47 days available.
Since 6.47 days > 3 days, the answer is Yes.

Maple Inc. collects 30% of its sales in the month of sale and the other 70% in the following month. The following shows budgeted sales for January through March.

January $250,000
February $325,000
March $387,500
What is the amount of cash receipts budgeted for February?

Answers

Answer:

$272,500

Explanation:

The computation of the budgeted cash receipts for February month is shown below:

= February sales × collection percentage + January sales × following month collection percentage

= $325,000 × 30% + $250,000 × 70%

= $97,500 + $175,000

= $272,500

We simply compute the sales based on the collection percentage

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

Final answer:

The budgeted cash receipts for Maple Inc. in February consist of 30% of February's sales and 70% of January's sales, resulting in a total of $272,500.

Explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the amount of cash receipts budgeted for February for Maple Inc., given their pattern of collecting sales. The company collects 30% of its sales in the month of the sale and 70% in the following month. To solve this, we need to consider the sales from both January and February.

For February cash receipts, we calculate:

30% of February sales: 30% of $325,000 = $97,500

70% of January sales: 70% of $250,000 = $175,000

Adding these amounts together, we get:

February's cash receipts = $97,500 (February's current month collection) + $175,000 (January's following month collection) = $272,500.

When Michael is born, four uncles decide to save money for his future in different ways: Uncle A: He deposits $50 on Michael's first birthday, and every subsequent birthday. Uncle B: He deposits $15 on Michael's first birthday, and every subsequent birthday he deposits $5 more than the previous year. Uncle C: He deposits $40 on Michael's first birthday, and every subsequent birthday he deposits 5% more than the previous year. Uncle D: At Michael's birth he deposits $300 in a savings account which offers 2.7% interest compounded quarterly. By the time Michael is 21 years old, which uncle has saved the most money for him?

Answers

Answer:

By the time Michael is 21 years old, Uncle C has saved the most money.

Explanation:

Uncle A = $50 on Michael's first birthday, and same on each birthday

When Michael is 21 years of old, His Uncle A will save = $50 x 21 = $1,050

Uncle B = $15, and $5 more than the previous year. It means 15, 20, 25...

When Michael is 21 years of old, His Uncle B will save = $1,365

Here is the sequence = (15+20+25+30+35+...............+100+105+110+115)

Uncle C = $40, and 5% more than the previous year. It means $40 x 1.05 = $42 in the 2nd year.

When Michael is 21 years of old, His Uncle C will save = $1,428.77 (See the image below to get the proper explanation)

Uncle D = $300. It offers 2.7% interest compounded quarterly. When Michael is 21 years of old, His Uncle D will save = $527.88

Using the Future value, we can determine Uncle D's savings. Hence,

FV = PV × [tex](1 + \frac{i}{m} )^{n*m}[/tex]

FV = $300 × [tex](1 + \frac{0.027}{4} )^{21*4}[/tex]

FV = $300 × 1.7596

FV = $527.88

If overapplied or underapplied overhead is material, it should be disposed of by allocating it to: Select one: a. Cost of goods sold and finished goods inventory. b. Finished goods inventory and work in process inventory. c. work in process inventory, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold. d. work in process inventory. e. Raw materials inventory, work in process inventory, and finished goods inventory.

Answers

If overapplied or underapplied overhead is material, it should be disposed of by allocating it to Cost of goods sold and finished goods inventory.

Option A

Explanation:

Fixed Overhead expenses are allotted to on the basis of predetermined overhead rate to each unit. Sometimes overhead expenses estimated and actually incurred have differences.

If the actual overhead is more than overhead applied to production than it is called under applied overhead. When actual overhead is less than applied overhead than it is called over applied overhead.

Balance of difference of these overhead is debited or credited to Cost of goods sold of company.

Final answer:

Material overapplied or underapplied overhead should be allocated to work in process inventory, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold because it mirrors the course of overhead costs better in production.

Explanation:

When an overhead cost is either overapplied or underapplied and is deemed to be material, it is generally appropriate to dispose of it by allocating it to: work in process inventory, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold. Hence the correct answer is option c: work in process inventory, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold. This reflects more accurately the stages that overhead costs are incurred during the manufacturing process, from work-in-progress to the finished product ready for sale. If the amounts are immaterial, they could be written off to cost of goods sold alone. Nevertheless, the method of allocation should always align with the company's accounting policy and the principle of materiality.

Below are transactions for Lobos, Inc., during the month of December. Calculate the amount of revenue to recognize in December.

a.Receive $1,200 cash from customers for services to be provided next month.0
b.Perform $900 of services during the month and bill customers. Customers are expected to pay next month.900
c.Perform $2,300 of services during the month and receive full cash payment from customers at thetime of service.2300

Answers

Answer:

Revenue recognized in Dec= $3200

Explanation:

Lets first understand the criteria for revenue recognition. According to the accruals concept of accounting, an entity is supposed to record revenues and expenses as soon as they are earned and incurred. An entity shouldn't wait until the revenue is received and expenses are actually paid. The accruals concept of accounting is also based on the matching principle which requires entities to match and record expenses with the revenue of the period in which they occur. Considering the two concepts mentioned above, we may classify these transactions for revenue recognition as follows;

a. Receipt of $1200 cash:

In this case Lobos Inc. has received the cash in advance and the services against this payment will be rendered next month, therefore, this transaction doesn't imply an earned revenue rather it's a liability for Lobos Inc until the services are actually rendered. No revenue is recognized in December.

b. Perform $900 of services:

Lobos Inc. will provide services to this customer and will receive payment in next month, however the services have been provided which implies Lobos Inc has earned the revenue, though not received it yet but still following the accruals concept, Revenue is recognized in December.

c. Perform $2300 of services:

Similarly, Lobos Inc. will render services and will receive the payment against these services in the month of Dec, therefore, Lobos Inc can recognize revenue in December.

Final answer:

Considering the provided transactions, Lobos, Inc., should recognize $3,200 as revenue for December. The $1,200 cash received does not count as December's revenue since the service will be provided next month.

Explanation:

In the field of accounting, revenue is recognized when it's earned, not necessarily when the cash payment is made. Looking at Lobos, Inc.,'s December transactions, we have:

Received $1,200 for services to be provided next month: This money does not count as December's revenue because the service will be provided next month, not in December.Performed $900 worth of services and billed customers: This $900 counts as revenue for December because the services were performed during this month, regardless of when customers make their payments.Performed $2,300 worth of services and received full cash payment from customers: This $2,300 counts as December revenue because services were provided and payment was received during this month.

Adding the $900 and $2,300 transactions, Lobos, Inc., should recognize $3,200 in revenue for December.

Red Raider Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with direct labor hours as the allocation base. Next year, 400,000 units are expected to be produced taking .90 direct-labor hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?

Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $2,530,000 $900,000
Direct labor hours 168,000 DLH 110,000 DLH
Machine hours 30,000 MH 8,000 MH

a. $12.34 per unit
b. $63.95 per unit
c. $7.32 per unit
d. $11.11 per unit
e. $15.06 per unit

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer is d. $11.11 per unit

Explanation:

($2,530,000 + $900,000)/(168,000 + 110,000) DLH = $12.34 per DLH

$12.34 × .90 = $11.11 per unit

Final answer:

To calculate the overhead assigned to each unit produced, we need to determine the total overhead cost and the total number of units produced. The plantwide overhead rate is calculated by dividing the total manufacturing overhead costs by the total direct labor hours. In this case, the overhead cost assigned to each unit produced is $11.11.

Explanation:

To calculate the overhead assigned to each unit produced, we need to determine the total overhead cost and the total number of units produced. The plantwide overhead rate is calculated by dividing the total manufacturing overhead costs by the total direct labor hours. In this case, the total manufacturing overhead costs are $2,530,000 for Department 1 and $900,000 for Department 2. The total direct labor hours are 168,000 DLH for Department 1 and 110,000 DLH for Department 2.

Using the given information, we can calculate the plantwide overhead rate:

Plantwide Overhead Rate = (Department 1 Overhead Costs + Department 2 Overhead Costs) / (Department 1 Direct Labor Hours + Department 2 Direct Labor Hours)

= ($2,530,000 + $900,000) / (168,000 + 110,000)

= $3,430,000 / 278,000

= $12.34 per DLH

Since each unit takes 0.90 DLH, we can multiply the plantwide overhead rate by 0.90 to find the overhead per unit:

Overhead per Unit = Plantwide Overhead Rate * Direct Labor Hours per Unit

= $12.34 * 0.90

= $11.11 per unit

As part of an estate settlement Mary received $1 million. She decided to use the money to purchase a small business in Anywhere, USA. If Mary would have invested the $1 million in a risk-free bond fund she could have made $100,000 each year. She also quit it her job with Lucky.Com Inc. to devote all of her time to her new business; her salary at Lucky.Com Inc. was $75,000 per year.
At the end of the first year of operating her new business, Mary's accountant reported an accounting profit of $150,000. What was Mary's economic profit?

a. $25,000 loss
b. $50,000 loss
c. $25,000 profit
d. $150,000 profit 13.

Answers

Answer:

a. $25,000 loss

Explanation:

Economic profit = revenues - explicit costs - opportunity costs

In this case, Mary's economic profit = profit from investment in new business - opportunity cost of not investing $1 million in risk-free bond - opportunity cost of quitting job

= $150,000 - $100,000 - $75,000

= ($25,000)

You are considering the purchase of real estate that will provide perpetual income that should average $65,000 per year. How much will you pay for the property if you believe its market risk is the same as the market portfolio’s? The T-bill rate is 5%, and the expected market return is 8.0%.

Answers

Answer:

$812,500

Explanation:

If market risk is the same as market portfolio, then the beta is equal to 1.

Use the CAPM formula to find the appropriate discount rate for valuation of this real estate;

CAPM; r = rf + beta(rM - rf )     whereby,

rf = risk free rate = 5% or 0.05 as a decimal

rM = Market return = 8% or 0.08

CAPM ; r = 0.05 + 1(0.08 - 0.05)

r = 0.05 + 0.03

r = 0.08 or 8%

Present value of perpetual CF formula;

PV = CF/ rate

PV = 65,000 / 0.08

PV = 812,500

Therefore, you should pay $812,500

Your Memory Lane produces custom-made art prints that include graphics and icons to celebrate life’s special moments. For example, on his wedding anniversary, David had an art print produced that celebrated highlights of his ten years with his wife, Kathy. Suppose that Your Memory Lane sells the custom artwork for $500. It estimates its average variable costs to be $200 per unit produced. It figures its fixed costs to be $900,000 per year. How many prints does it have to sell to break even?

Answers

Answer:

3,000 prints

Explanation:

In this question we use the formula of break-even point in unit sales which is shown below:

= (Fixed cost) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $500 - $200

= $300

And, the fixed cost is $900,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= ($900,000) ÷ ($300)

= 3,000 prints

Final answer:

Your Memory Lane needs to sell 3000 custom-made art prints per year to cover its total costs and reach its break-even point.

Explanation:

Your Memory Lane, the company in question, can calculate its break-even point by determining how many art prints it needs to sell such that its total revenue equals its total costs. This point represents a state of 'no profit loss.' The company's fixed cost, the cost that doesn’t change regardless of the quantity of goods produced, is $900,000 per year. The variable cost, which varies as the number of goods produced changes, is $200 per unit. The selling price per unit, or the revenue per unit, is $500.

The formula for calculating the break-even point is given by Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit). Substituting the respective values into this formula yields $900,000 ÷ ($500 - $200) = 3000 units.

So, Your Memory Lane must sell 3000 custom-made art prints in a year to cover its total costs and break-even.

Leker exchanged real property that was used exclusively for business and had an adjusted tax basis of $20,000 for new real property. The new real property had a fair market value of $10,000, and Leker also received $3,000 in cash. What was Leker tax basis in the acquired real property?

Answers

Answer:

$17,000

Explanation:

Leker's Old Property Adjusted Tax Basis = $20,000

To calculate the new basis, subtract the $3000 recieved in cash from the new property.

New Tax Basis; $20,000-$3,000= $17,000

The transaction of Leker to exchange a real property for another led to a loss: Meaning a Property of $20,000 was exchanged for a property of $10,000+ $3,000 (cash)= $13,000

The Loss on the transaction= $20,000- $13,000= $7,000

Due to the loss no gain is recognized and the $3000 will reduce the basis for his new asset.

Visburg Concrete Company pours concrete slabs for single-family dwellings. Lancing Construction Company, which operates outside Visburg's normal sales territory, asks Visburg to pour 40 slabs for Lancing's new development of homes. Visburg has the capacity to build 300 slabs and is presently working on 250 of them. Lancing is willing to pay only $3, 300 per slab. Visburg estimates the cost of a typical job to include unit-level materials, $1, 440: unit-level labor, $720: and an allocated portion of facility-level overhead, $1, 200.

Required:
Calculate the contribution to profit from the special order. Should Visburg accept or reject the special order to pour 40 slabs for $3, 300 each?

Answers

Answer:

$45,600 and yes

Explanation:

The computation of the contribution to profit from the special order is shown below:

= Sales revenue - Material cost - Labor cost

where,

Sales revenue = $3,300 × 40 slabs  = $132,000

Material cost = $1,440 × 40 slabs  = $57,600

Labor cost = = $7200 × 40 slabs  = $28,800

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $132,000 - $57,600 - $28,800

= $45,600

The material and labor cost is a variable cost and the same is taken in the computation part

So, it should accept the special order

Final answer:

Visburg would suffer a loss of $2,400 if they accepted the special order from Lancing because the cost to manufacture each slab ($3,360) is more than what Lancing is willing to pay ($3,300). Therefore, Visburg should reject the order.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost per slab for Visburg. This includes $1,440 for materials, $720 for labor, and $1,200 for overhead, which sums up to $3,360. However, Lancing is only willing to pay $3,300 per slab, which is $60 less than the cost. Multiplying this by 40 (the number of slabs in the special order), the total loss is $2,400. The contribution to profit from this special order would therefore be a loss of $2,400. Thus, Visburg should reject the special order since it would not be profitable given the cost to manufacture each slab.

A distribution center (DC) in Wisconsin stocks Sony plasma TV sets. The center receives its inventory from a mega warehouse in Kansas with a lead time (L) of 5 days. The DC uses a reorder point (R) of 300 sets and a fixed order quantity (Q) of 250 sets. Current on-hand inventory at the end of Day 1 is 400 sets. There are no scheduled receipts (SR) and no backorders (BO). All demands and receipts occur at the end of the day.

Determine when to order using a Q system

Answers

Answer: The order can be placed when the quantity is 1,350 units

Explanation:

Lead time = 5days

Reorder point = 300 set

Fixed order quantity = 250 sets

Current on hand inventory = 400 sets

To determine when to order using a Q system, we use the formula

Reorder level = maximum usage × maximum Lead time + Fixed order quantity

= ( 300 × 5) + 250

= 1,500 + 250

= 1,750

To determine when to order we subtract Reorder level from the current on hand inventory

= 1,750 - 400

= 1,350units

Final answer:

To determine when to order using a Q system, monitor the inventory daily and place an order when it reaches the reorder point, taking into account the lead time. In this example, with a reorder point of 300, lead time of 5 days, and starting inventory of 400, the order should be placed immediately assuming constant daily demand, to avoid running out of inventory.

Explanation:

The question involves determining when to place an order for inventory using a fixed order quantity (Q) system. With no scheduled receipts (SR), no backorders (BO), a reorder point (R) of 300 sets, an order quantity (Q) of 250 sets, and a lead time (L) of 5 days, we can calculate when a new order should be placed.

On Day 1, the on-hand inventory is 400 sets. Each day, we should monitor the inventory level. Once the inventory falls to the reorder point of 300 sets, that will be the signal to trigger a new order. Since we know that the lead time is 5 days, we need to place the order at least 5 days before the inventory hits the reorder point to avoid stockouts.

If the daily usage rate is constant, we can predict when the inventory will reach the reorder point; however, since the daily demand rate is not given in the question, we will assume a constant usage rate for the example. If one day has passed and the inventory level is now at 400 sets, we can subtract the daily usage rate (assuming it is known) from the inventory each day until we reach the reorder point. For demonstration purposes, let's assume a daily demand of 20 sets. It would take 5 days (400 sets - 5 days * 20 sets/day) to reach the reorder point. Therefore, the order should be placed on Day 1 to ensure the inventory is restocked before running out.
