Answer:
a) EPS
2005 Earnings per share=$18.3
2005 Earnings per share=$21.6
b) EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable
Explanation:
Earnings per share(EPS) is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Earnings per share = (Net income after tax - preference dividend)/Number of shares
2005 Earnings per share = $1,687,000- $40,000/90,000 shares=$18.3
2006 Earnings per share=($2,632,000- $40,000)/120,000 shares=$21.6
2005 Earnings per share=$18.3
2006 Earnings per share=$21.6
EPS Variance
Comparing the EPS the Earning per share in 2006 is higher than that of 2005. Hence, the variance = 21.6-18.3= $3.3 favorable
EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable
Masterson, Inc., has 4.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $89.50, and the book value per share is $11.25. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $81 million, a coupon rate of 5.1%, and sells for 96.5% of par. The second issue has a face value of $53 million, a coupon rate of 5.8%, and sells for 106.5% of par. The first issue matures in 25 years, the second in 9 years. The most recent dividend was $4.28 and the dividend growth rate is 5.3%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semi-annual payments. The tax rate is 21%.
a. What are the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis?
b. What are the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis?
c. Which are more relevant, the book or market value weights?
Answer:
Masterson, Inc.
1. The company's capital structure weights on a book value basis are:
Book Value Weights:
Equity = 0.27 or 27%
Debts = 0.73 0r 73%
2. The company's capital structure weights on market value basis are:
Market Value Weights:
Equity = 0.75 or 75%
Debts = 0.25 or 25%
3. The market value weights of Masterson's common stock and debts are more relevant because they represent a more current valuation of the equity and the debts. It is easier to calculate the book value weights since the information is more readily available within the entity than the information on market weights.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Equity Units Total Value
Outstanding common stock 4.4 million shares
Current share price $89.50 $393.8 million
Book value per share $11.25 $49.5 million
Debt Units Total Value
First bond:
Face value 81,000 $81 million
Market value 81,000 $78.165 million
Coupon rate = 5.1% $4.131 million p.a.
Second bond:
Face value 53,000 $53 million
Market value 53,000 $54.445 million
Coupon rate = 5.3% $2,809 million p.a.
Total book value of bonds 134,000 $134 million
Total market value of bonds 134,000 $132.61 million
Capital structure Equity Bonds Total
Book value $49.5 million $134 million $183.5 million
Market value $393.8 million $132.61 million $526.41 million
Book Value Weights:
Equity = $49.5/$183.5 = 0.27 or 27%
Debts = $134/$183.5 = 0.73 0r 73%
Market Value Weights:
Equity = $393.8/$526.41 = 0.75 or 75%
Debts = $132.61/$526.41 = 0.25 or 25%
A process control system costs $200,000, has a three year service life, and a salvage value of $20,000. Find the depreciation and book value for all three years using each of the following methods: a. Straight line depreciation (20 points) b. Sum of year digits depreciation (20 points) c. Double declining balance depreciation (20 points)
Answer:
A.
Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000
Book value at the end of year 1 = $140,000
Book value at the end of year 2 =$80,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $20,000
B.
Depreciation expense in year 1 =$90,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 =$60,000
Depreciation expense in year 3 =$30,000
Book value at the end of year 1 =$110,000
Book value at the end of year 2 = $50,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $20,000
C.
Depreciation expense in year 1 = $133,333.33
Book value at the end of year 1 = $66,666.67
Depreciation expense in year 2 = $44,444.45
Book value at the end of year 2 = $22,222.22
Depreciation expense in year 3 = $14,814.16
Book value at the end of year 3 = $7,407.40
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($200,000 - $20,000) / 3 = $60,000
Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000
Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $60,000 = $140,000
Book value at the end of year 2 = $140,000 - $60,000 = $80,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000
Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Sum of the years = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 years
Depreciation expense in year 1 = (3/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $90,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $60,000
Depreciation expense in year 3 = (1/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $30,000
Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $90,000 = $110,000
Book value at the end of year 2 = $110,000 - $60,000 = $50,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $50,000 - $30,000 = $20,000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/3
Depreciation expense in year 1 = (2/3) x $200,000 = $133,333.33
Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $133,333.33 = $66,666.67
Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/3) x $66,666.67 = $44,444.45
Book value at the end of year 2 = $66,666.67 - $44,444.45= $22,222.22
Depreciation expense in year 3 = (2/3) x$22,222.22 = $14,814.16
Book value at the end of year 3 =$22,222.22 - $14,814.16 = $7,407.40

You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?
According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.
Answer:
No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.
Explanation:
Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%
Expected return can be calculated by :
E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)
E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)
E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%
E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%
Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Answer:
(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.
Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.
Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.
(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?
Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.
The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.
This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.

One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Beta's manager has decided that the best time to call is 7:00 p.m. because it is exactly halfway between 5:00 p.m. and bedtime. Which of the following is true?
a. Alpha and Charlie will also make calls at 7:00 p.m.
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
c. Alpha and Charlie will divide up the rest of the market, with one choosing to call at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.
d. Beta is certain to generate the most donations.
Answer:
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
Explanation:
If you know that you are competing with identical charities, calling later will only result in fewer donations. The calls should start at 5 PM, and probably the three fundraisers will start calling at the same time. The only advantage that they can have depends on reaching the adults first, so the time of the calls is important.

Answer:
1.It's a fundamental economic principle that when supply exceeds demand for a good or service, prices fall. When demand exceeds supply, prices tend to rise. There is an inverse relationship between the supply and prices of goods and services when demand is unchanged.
2.Supply and demand, in economics, relationship between the quantity of a commodity that producers wish to sell at various prices and the quantity that consumers wish to buy.
3.A demand curve shows the relationship between quantity demanded and price in a given market on a graph. ... A supply curve shows the relationship between quantity supplied and price on a graph. The law of supply says that a higher price typically leads to a higher quantity supplied.
The Kelsh Company has two divisions--North and South. The divisions have the following revenues and expenses:
North South
Sales $900,000 $800,000
Variable expenses 450,000 300,000
Traceable fixed expenses 260,000 210,000
Allocated common corporate expenses 240,000 190,000
Net operating income (loss) ($50,000) $100,000
Management at Kelsh is pondering the elimination of the North Division. If the North Division were eliminated, its traceable fixed expenses could be avoided. The total common corporate expenses would be unaffected.
Given this data, the elimination of the North Division would result in an overall company operating income of:
a. 50,000
b. 150,000
c. (140,000)
d. 100,000
Answer:
c. (140,000)
Explanation:
Effect on net income of dropping the North Division:
Sales $(900,000)
Variable expenses $450,000
Contribution margin $(450,000)
Traceable fixed expenses $260,000
Effect on net income ($190,000)
Since the North Division currently have Net operating income (loss) of ($50,000), so therefore, after dropping the North Division, the overall company net operating loss will be $140,000 ($50,000 - $190,000).
Berry Corp. is considering an investment with an initial cost of $250,000. Assume straight line depreciation with no salvage value is appropriate. The investment is expected to generate cash revenues of $200,000 and incur cash costs of $120,000 each year for the next four years. Assume straight line depreciation with no salvage value is appropriate. What is the investment's annual rate of return
Answer:
14%
Explanation:
Depreciation = Cost - Residual value / Useful life
Depreciation = ($250,000 - 0)/4
Depreciation = $62,500
Annual net earnings = Revenue - Cost - Depreciation
Annual net earnings = $200,000 - $120,000 - $62,500
Annual net earnings = $17,500
Annual rate of return = Annual net earnings / Average investment
Annual rate of return = $17,500/ [($250,000 + $0) /2]
Annual rate of return = $17,500 / $125,000
Annual rate of return = 0.14
Annual rate of return = 14%

Mackenzie Company has a price of $38 and will issue a dividend of $ 2.00 next year. It has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 4.9%. a. Estimate the equity cost of capital for Mackenzie. b. Under the CGDM, at what rate do you need to expect Mackenzie's dividends to grow to get the same equity cost of capital as in part (a)?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the equity cost of capital is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta
= 5.20% + 4.90% × 1.30
= 11.57%
b. Now the rate at which the dividend should be grow is
Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)
$38 = $2 ÷ (11.57% - growth rate)
so, the growth rate is 6.31%
Machinery purchased for $69,600 by Tamarisk Co. in 2016 was originally estimated to have a life of 8 years with a salvage value of $4,640 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been entered for 5 years on this basis. In 2021, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 10 years with a salvage value of $5,220 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Prepare the entry to correct the prior years' depreciation, if necessary.
Prepare the entry to record depreciation for 2021.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
a. No journal entry is required
b. Depreciation expense $4,756
To Accumulated depreciation-Machinery $4,756
(Being depreciation expense is recorded)
Here the depreciation expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depreciation as it decreased the assets
Working
Accumulated depreciation is
= ($69,600 - $4,640 ÷ 8 × 5)
= $40,600
Now Revised depreciation is
= ($69,600 - $40,600 - $5,220) ÷ 5
= $4,756

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $4 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $6 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items? (Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
The total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items will be:
Ammortization value = Patent value / Useful life
= $4,000,000 / 5
= $800,000
Therefore, the ammortization value is $800,000 per year.

Explanation:
A coal-fired power plant can produce electricity at a variable cost of $0.07 per kilowatt-hour when running at its full capacity of 30 megawatts per hour, $0.16 per kilowatt-hour when running at 20 megawatts per hour, and $0.24 per kilowatt-hour when running at 10 megawatts per hour. A gas-fired power plant can produce electricity at a variable cost of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour at any capacity from 1 megawatt per hour to its full capacity of 5 megawatts per hour. The cost of constructing a coal-fired plant is $70 million, but it costs only $14 million to build a gas-fired plant.
Required:
a. Consider a city that has a peak afternoon demand of 80 megawatts of electricity. If it wants all plants to operate at full capacity, what combination of coal-fired plants and gas-fired plants would minimize construction costs?
b. How much will the city spend on building that combination of plants?
c. What will the average cost per kilowatt-hour be if you average over all 80 megawatts that are produced by that combination of plants?
Answer:
a-The construction of 2 coal-fired plants and 4 gas-fired plants will have minimum construction costs.
b-Total construction cost is $196 Million.
c-The average cost is $0.0825 per killowatt-hour.
Explanation:
a
In order to estimate the best combination of the two, consider the following linear programming model
[tex]30X+5Y\leq80\\X\geq0\\Y\geq0[/tex]
with minimizing function as [tex]70X+14Y[/tex]
This yeilds in the optimum solution of 2 coal fired plants and 4 gas fired plants with minimum construction costs.
The construction of 2 coal-fired plants and 4 gas-fired plants will have minimum construction costs.
b
The construction cost is as follows
Number of coal-fired plants=2
Number of gas-fired plants=4
Total Cost=(Cost of 1 Coal-Fired Plant*Number of coal-fired plants)+(Cost of 1 Gas-Fired Plant*Number of gas-fired plants)
[tex]\text{Total Cost}=(70\times 2)+(14\times4)\\\text{Total Cost}=140+56\\\text{Total Cost}=\$196 \text{Million}[/tex]
Total construction cost is $196 Million.
c

Trainor Corporation purchased equipment on January 1, 2020 at a cost of $500,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $50,000 and an estimated life of 5 years. At the end of two years, Trainor reevaluated the useful life of the equipment. Management extended the total useful life an additional 5 years but estimated that the equipment would have no residual value at the end of this time. If the company uses straight-line depreciation, what amount would be recorded as depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year
Answer:
Depreciation per year $40,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year is shown below:
Purchase cost $500,000
Less residual value -$50,000
Depreciable cost $450,000
Depreciation per year $90,000 ($450,000 ÷ 5 years)
For two years, the depreciation is $180,000
Book value at the end of the 2nd year is $320,000
($500,000 - $180,000)
Depreciation per year $40,000 ($320,000 ÷ 8 years)
Melissa is a crafting machine! She has used this time in quarantine to finesses her skills and has decided to open up a booth at the Groove Street Farmers Market (Monday’s 4-7pm). She does this for fun but before making her next batch of inventory wants to know which products, she should make to maximize her profit. She makes soaps and candles. The soap sells for $18 and the candles sell for $25. The soap requires coconut oil (2 tablespoons), essential oil (5 drops), and soap base (1 per item). The candles require coconut oil (3 tablespoons), essential oil (8 drops), and wax (1 per item). Coconut oil is $12 a jar and contains 112 tablespoons. Essential oils are $50 a container and contains 150 drops. A soap base is 2$ and a wax base is $2.25. Melissa currently has 3 jars of coconut oil, 2.5 bottles of essential oil, 25 soap bases, and 25 wax bases. If Melissa wants to maximize her profit how many soaps and candles should she make for her next both?
Answer:
The maximum profit of $847.03 occurs when Melissa produces 25 soaps and 25 candles.
Explanation:
The linear programming equations forms as follows:
Cost of producing 1 Soap=Cost of Soap Base+Cost of Coconut Oil+Cost of Essential Oil
Cost of Soap base is $2.
Cost of Coconut Oil for one soap is [tex]\$\dfrac{2}{112}\times12[/tex].
Cost of Essential Oil for one soap is [tex]\$\dfrac{5}{150}\times50[/tex]
So the total cost of 1 soap is
[tex]\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$2+\$\dfrac{2}{112}\times12+\$\dfrac{5}{150}\times50\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$2+\$0.21428+\$1.6666\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$3.8808[/tex]
So the cost of producing one bar of soap is 3.8808
So the profit per soap is
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}[/tex]
Here selling price is $18 for soap so
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}\\\text{Profit}=\$18-\$3.8808\\\text{Profit}=\$14.1192[/tex]
Profit per soap is $14.1192.
Similarly the cost of producing 1 candle is as follows:
Cost of producing 1 Candle=Cost of Wax Base+Cost of Coconut Oil+Cost of Essential Oil
Cost of Wax base is $2.25.
Cost of Coconut Oil for one candle is [tex]\$\dfrac{3}{112}\times12[/tex].
Cost of Essential Oil for one candle is [tex]\$\dfrac{8}{150}\times50[/tex]
So the total cost of 1 candle is
[tex]\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$2.25+\$\dfrac{3}{112}\times12+\$\dfrac{8}{150}\times50\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$2.25+\$0.32142+\$2.6666\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$5.2380[/tex]
So the cost of producing one candle is $35.2380
So the profit per candle is
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}[/tex]
Here selling price is $25 for a candle so
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}\\\text{Profit}=\$25-\$5.2380\\\text{Profit}=\$19.7620[/tex]
Profit per candle is $19.7620.
If the number of soaps produced is X and the number of candles produced is Y then the maximization function of profit is given as
[tex]Z=f(X,Y)=14.1192X+19.7620Y[/tex]
Also the constraints are given as follows:
If Melissa has 3 jars of coconut oil and each jar has 112 tablespoons thus the total tablespoons Melissa has are 336. If 2 tablespoon coconut oil is used for 1 soap and 3 tablespoons are used for 1 candle thus
[tex]2X+3Y\leq336[/tex]
Similarly, Melissa has 2.5 containers of essential oil and each container has 150 drops thus the total drops Melissa has are 375. If 5 drops of essential oil are used for 1 soap and 8 drops are used for 1 candle thus
[tex]5X+8Y\leq375[/tex]
For the soap bases, each soap uses 1 soap bases and total soap bases are 25 thus
[tex]X\leq25[/tex]
Similarly, for the wax base, each candle uses 1 wax base, and the total wax bases are 25 thus.
[tex]Y\leq25[/tex]
So the linear programming model becomes
[tex]2X+3Y\leq336\\5X+8Y\leq375\\X\leq25\\Y\leq25[/tex]
with maximization of
[tex]Z=f(X,Y)=14.1192X+19.7620Y[/tex]
Now solving this using the graphical method of linear programming as attached gives:
The maximum profit of 847.03 occur when Melissa produces 25 soaps and 25 candles.

Shown below is a segmented income statement for Mullett Marina’s three main boating service lines:
Winter Storage Boat Fuel & Boat Total
Concessions Maintenance
Sales revenue $4,000,000 $1,000,000 $5,000,000 $10,000,000
Less: Variable expenses 2,000,000 200,000 4900,000 7,100,000
Contribution margin $2,000,000 $800,000 $100,000 $2,900,000
Less direct fixed expenses:
Garage/warehouse rent 700,000 55,000 350,000 1,105,000
Supervision 50,000 70,000 150,000 270,000
Equipment depreciation 250,000 75,000 100,000 425,000
Segment margin $1,000,000 $600,000 $(500,000) $1,100,000
Relevant fixed costs associated with this line include 60% of Boat Maintenance’s garage/warehouse rent and 50% of Boat Maintenance’s supervision salaries. In addition, assume that dropping the Boat Maintenance service line would reduce sales of the Winter Storage line by 20% and sales of the Boat Fuel & Concessions line by 10%. All other information remains the same.
Required:
1. If the Boat Maintenance service line is dropped, what is the contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line? For the Winter Storage line?
2. Which alternative (keep or drop the Boat Maintenance line) is now more cost effective and by how much?
Answer:
1. We have:
Contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line = $700,000
Contribution margin for the Winter Storage line = $1,200,000
2. Keeping Boat Maintenance service line by $630,000.
Explanation:
Note that after dropping Boat Maintenance service line, its Sales revenue and Variable expenses will be eliminated while all the fixed costs will be retained. This is because, generally in Management Accounting, the fact that a a fixed cost is a direct cost does NOT mean that it is avoidable.
Note: See part a of the attached excel for the Segmented Income Statement Before Dropping Boat Maintenance service line, and see part b of the attached excel for the Segmented Income Statement After Dropping Boat Maintenance service line.
1. If the Boat Maintenance service line is dropped, what is the contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line? For the Winter Storage line?
In the part b of the attached excel, we have:
Contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line = $700,000
Contribution margin for the Winter Storage line = $1,200,000
2. Which alternative (keep or drop the Boat Maintenance line) is now more cost effective and by how much?
From the part a of the attached excel file, we have:
Operating income before dropping Boat Maintenance service line = $815,000
Operating income after dropping Boat Maintenance service line = -$185,000
Cost saving = $815,000 - $185,000 = $630,000
Therefore, keeping Boat Maintenance service line by $630,000.
Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:
Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
In November month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 37,300
= 1,492
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,492 × $20
= $29,840
In December month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 39,300
= 1,572
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,572 × $20
= $31,440
Now the Total estimated liability is
= $29,840 + $31,440
= $61,280
The Journal entries are as follows:
(a) Warranty expenses A/c Dr. $61,280
To Estimated warranty payable $61,280
(Being warranty expense is recorded)
Estimated warranty payable A/c Dr. $24,740
To Cash/ Material consume $24,740
(being cash paid is recorded)
(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280

c. Debit Work in Process Inventory $248,000; credit Factory Overhead $248,000.
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the overhead allocation is given below:
Work in Process Inventory $248,000 ($160,000 × 155%)
To Factory Overhead $248,000.
(being the overhead allocation is recorded)
here the work in process inventory is debited as it increased the asset and the factory overhead is credited so that the allocation of the overhead could be cone

Explanation:
As a condition of being allowed to apply for a job with Good Hands Industries, Charles is asked to waive his right to object to workplace searches. After signing the waiver, he is offered a job, and he accepts it. Sometime later, he is subjected to a search. If Charles seeks legal redress on the grounds that the search violated his privacy rights, his employer:_________-
A. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was not given voluntarily.
B. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because Charles did not grant it intentionally.
C. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer.
D. will be able to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given in exchange for valuable consideration.
Answer:
The answer is C (will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer).
Explanation:
In the employment setting, there are instances where an employer could violate an employee privacy right. For instance, the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure could be very strict on a public employer compared to a private employer where the private employers are given some degree of power too. Searching employees without their consent would be directly proportional to their breach of privacy that they have right to. Charles seeking legal redress is permitted since he initially signed to waive his right to object to workplace searches prior to his job offer. At every point where workplace searches is required by the employer especially when the searches are not done at public open places, the employee consent should be required too.
