Answer:
Explanation:
a. The answer to question (a) goes thus:
Direct materials will be:
= (1,100 × $2.60) × $4.80
= $13,728
Direct labor will be:
= (1,100 × 1/2) × $14.00
= $7,700
Overhead will be:
= $7,700 × 90%
= $7700 × 0.9
= $6,930
b. The standard cost of one unit of product will be calculated as follows:
Direct materials = ($2.60 × $4.80) = $12.48
Add: Direct labor (1/2 × $14.00) = $7.00
Add: Overhead = ($7.00 × 90%) = $6.30
Standard cost = $12.48 + $7.00 + $6.30 = $25.78

Inventory was purchased on October 1, 2020 (reported at cost) Relevant exchange dates follow: (A) January 1, 2020 (B) October 1, 2020 (C) December 31, 2020 (D) Average, 2020 (E) February 1, 2020 Identify the exchange rate used to translate inventory when the functional currency is the foreign currency.
Answer:
Land, Equipment, and Inventory will be restated on the closing date i.e. December 31, 2020. The rate of the currency exchange from local to foreign currency for equipment is on the day of purchase which is February 1, 2020.
Explanation:
1-Balance sheet items are restated on the closing date.
2-P & L items are restated on the transaction date.
As the items Land, Equipment and Inventory are all the balance sheet items, thus they will be stated on the closing date i.e. December 31, 2020.
Furthermore, the functional currency is foreign currency. Since the equipment is purchased in the domestic currency it has to be translated into the foreign currency at the rate as on the date of purchase i.e; February 1, 2020.

In some cases it should be noted that stocks trading could be unethical as a result of trader engaging in trading because they are getting information from insider in order to influence their trading.
Which of the following situations would be a wrongful dissociation of a partner in a partnership? Multiple Choice Expulsion of a partner in accordance with the partnership agreement. Expulsion of a partner by a court at the request of the partnership. Expulsion of a partner who has transferred his transferable partnership interest. Expulsion of a partner with whom it is unlawful for the partnership to carry on its business.
Answer: Expulsion of a partner who has transferred his transferable partnership interest.
Explanation:
A partner can be expelled rightfully if it is done in accordance with the partnership agreement.
It is also fine to expel a partner if the Court orders the expulsion on advice it other partners.
Expelling a partner with whom it is unlawful to carry out business with is also fine because it is affecting the business negatively.
The correct answer must therefore be; expelling a partner who transferred their transferable partnership interest.
Assume Italy and Libya can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries. Each farmer in Italy can produce 10 t of grain or 5 t of dates in a season. Each farmer in Libya can also produce 10 t of grain or 25 t of dates. Please answer the four questions. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates
Answer and Explanation:
Since each farmer in Italy can produce 10ton of grain or 5ton of dates while on the other hand each farmer in libya can produce 10ton of grain or 25ton of dates
So based on the above information Libya produce more as compared with the Italy
Therefore libya has an absolute advantage in producing dates

StellarFurniture Company started construction of a combination office and warehouse building for its own use at an estimated cost of $4,500,000 on January 1, 2020. Stellar expected to complete the building by December 31, 2020. Stellar has the following debt obligations outstanding during the construction period.
Construction loan-12% interest, payable semiannually, issued December 31, 2019 $1,800,000
Short-term loan-10% interest, payable monthly, and principal payable at maturity on May 30, 2021 1,350,000
Long-term loan-11% interest, payable on January 1 of each year. Principal payable on January 1, 2024 900,000
Required:
a. Assume that Stellar completed the office and warehouse building on December 31, 2020, as planned at a total cost of $11,440,000, and the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures was $7,920,000. Compute the avoidable interest on this project.
b. Compute the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. Stellar elected to depreciate the building on a straight-line basis and determined that the asset has a useful life of 30 years and a salvage value of $660,000.
Answer:
A. $852,480
B. $387,749
Explanation:
1) Computation for the avoidable interest on this project
First step is to calculate the Avoidable interest on construction loan using this formula
Avoidable interest on construction loan = Loan Amount*Loan rate
Let plug in the formula
Avoidable interest on construction loan= $1,800,000*12%
Avoidable interest on construction loan= $216,000
Second step is to calculate the Weighted Average Interest Rate on General Loan (Amounts in $)
Loan Amount (A) Interest rate (B) Interest (A*B)
Short term loan 1,350,000 10% $135,000
Long term loan 900,000 11% 99,000
Total $2,250,000 $234,000
Weighted Average Interest rate = $234,000/$2,250,000
Weighted Average Interest rate = = 10.40%
Third step is to calculate the Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure
Using this formula
Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure
= (Weighted Average Accum. Exp - Construction Loan)*Weighted Avg interest rate
Let plug in the formula
Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure= ($7,920,000 - $1,800,000)*10.40%
Avoidable Interest on Remaining Expenditure= $636,480
Now let calculate the Total Avoidable Interest
Total Avoidable Interest = $216,000+$636,480
Total Avoidable Interest= $852,480
Therefore the avoidable interest on this project
is $852,480
2) Computation for the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021.
First step is to calculate the Total cost of building capitalized
Total cost of building capitalized = $11,440,000+$852,480
Total cost of building capitalized = $12,292,480
Now let calculate the Depreciation Expense using this formula
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation Expense= ($12,292,480 - $660,000)/30 yrs
Depreciation Expense = $387,749 per year
Therefore the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 is $387,749.
Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $71,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Six thousand five hundred units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $17 each, or processed further at a total cost of $8,800 and then sold for $22 each. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15
Answer:
Financial advantage of further processing =$23,700
Explanation:
A company should process a product further if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Additional sales revenue from further processing
($22-$17)× 6,500 32,500
Less further processing cost (8,800)
Financial advantage 23,700
Financial advantage of further processing =$23,700

Required:
1. What are the alternatives for Coed Scents?
2. List the relevant cost(s) of internal production and of external purchase.
3. Which alternative is more cost effective?
By how much?
$
4. Now assume that Coed Scents’ internal audit team learned through a special data analytics project that intellectual property theft is a significant threat for outsourced production. The team estimates that if Coed Scents outsources its production, it will need to spend $350,000 to manage intellectual property theft of its Two AM brand by competitors operating in the country where the outsourced production occurs. Which alternative is more cost effective?
By how much?
$
Answer:
Coed Scents
1. The alternatives for Coed Scents are to reduce cost of internal production or to renegotiate the external purchase price.

Frances Newberry is the payroll accountant for Pack-It Services of Jackson, Arizona. The employees of Pack-It Services are paid semimonthly. An employee, Glen Riley, comes to her on November 6 and requests a pay advance of $1,050, which he will pay back in equal parts on the November 15 and December 15 paychecks. Glen is married with eight withholding allowances and is paid $52,880 per year. He contributes 3 percent of his pay to a 401(k) and has $25 per paycheck deducted for a Section 125 plan. Required: Compute his net pay on his November 15 paycheck. The applicable state income tax rate is 2.88 percent. Use the Wage Bracket Method Tables for Income Tax Withholding in Appendix C.
Answer:
His net pay on his November 15 paycheck is $1,349.70.
Explanation:
Number of semiannual in a year = 24
Semiannual gross pay = ($50,000 / 24) = $2,083.33
Social security tax = Semiannual gross pay * 6.20% = $2,083.33 * 6.20% = $129.17
Medicare tax = Semiannual gross pay * 1.45% = $2,083.33 * 1.45% = $30.21
401(k) contribution = Semiannual gross pay * 3% = $2,083.33 * 3% = $62.50
Section 125 plan = $25
Advance repayment = $750 / 2 = $375.00
Taxable Wages = Semiannual gross pay - Section 125 plan - 401(k) contribution = $2,083.33 - $25 - $62.50 = $1,995.83
Federal income tax = Taxable Wages * 1.6% = $1,995.83 * 1.6% = $31.93
State Income tax = Taxable Wages * 4% = $1,995.83 * 4% = $79.83
Net pay = Taxable Wages - Federal income tax - State Income tax - Social security tax - Medicare tax - Advance repayment = $1995.83 - $31.93 - $79.83 - $129.16 - $30.21 - $375 = $1,349.70
Therefore, his net pay on his November 15 paycheck is $1,349.70.

What is one specific requirement of a negotiable instrument?
O A. It must involve an exchange of goods.
B. It must provide for a fixed amount of money.
O C. It must be agreed to orally.
O D. It must involve two parties who are friends.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (20,000 units): Direct materials $180,000 Direct labor 240,000 Variable factory overhead 280,000 Operating expenses: Variable operating expenses $130,000 Fixed operating expenses 50,000 180,000 If 1,600 units remain unsold at the end of the month, the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is a.$66,400 b.$64,000 c.$78,400 d.$56,000
Answer:
d.$56,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The total production cost
= Direct material + direct labor + variable factory overhead
= $180,000 + $240,000 + $280,000
= $700,000
Now the production cost per unit is
= $700,000 ÷ 20,000 units
= $35 per unit
Now the amount of inventory is
= 1,600 units × $35 per unit
= $56,000
Depreciation by Three Methods; Partial Years
Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $43,470. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 6,480 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,350. The equipment was used for 1,200 hours during Year 1, 2,300 hours in Year 2, 1,900 hours in Year 3, and 1,080 hours in Year 4.
Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.
Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
a. Straight-line method.
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 10,530
2 14,040
3 14,040
4 3,510
b. Units-of-production method.
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 7,800
2 14,950
3 12,350
4 7,020
c. Double-declining balance method
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 21,735
2 14,490
3 4,830
4 1,065
Explanation:
(a) the straight-line method
Note: See part a of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for Straight-line method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Straight-line method is calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 3 = 0.3333, or 33.33%
(b) units-of-output method
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for units-of-production method.
(c) the double-declining-balance method.
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for double-declining-balance method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Double- declining-balance method is calculated as follows:
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = (1/3) * 2 = 0.666667, or 66.6667%
Note:
Under this double-declining-balance method, the depreciation expenses for Year 4 is calculated by deducting the residual value of $1,350 from the Year 4 Beginning depreciable amount (i.e. $2,415 - $1,350 = $1,065). The residual value of $1,350 therefore represents the book value at the end of Year 4.
Citibank need to borrow $1 million for 6 months starting in 2 years. Citibank is concerned about the interest rate would like to lock in the interest rate it pays by going long an FRA with Bank of America. The FRA specifies that Citibank will borrow at a fixed rate of 0.04 for 6 months on $1 million in 2 years. If the 6 months LIBOR rate proves to be 0.01. Then to settle the FRA, what is the cash flow to Citibank at the end of 2 years
Answer:
"$ 15,000" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Agreed fixed rate,
= 0.04
LIBOR rate,
= 0.01
No. of borrowing months,
= 6
National amount,
= 1000000
Now,
The net payment will be:
= [tex]National \ principal*(Floating \ rate - Fixed \ rate)\times \frac{No. \ of \ months}{12}[/tex]
On substituting the above values, we get
= [tex]1000000\times (0.01-0.4)\times \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]1000000\times (-0.03)\times 0.5[/tex]
= [tex]-15,000[/tex] ($)
TB MC Qu. 08-54 Identify the situation below that will... Identify the situation below that will result in a favorable variance. Multiple Choice Actual revenue is higher than budgeted revenue. Actual revenue is lower than budgeted revenue. Actual income is lower than expected income. Actual costs are higher than budgeted costs. Actual expenses are higher than budgeted expenses.
Answer:
Actual revenue is higher than budgeted revenue
Explanation:
Suppose that the tax rate on personal income, tp, is equal to 40%; the corporate tax rate, tc, is equal to 35%; and the capital gains tax rate, tcg, is 20%. Also assume that the before-tax rate of return on investment to both the corporate and partnership form is 15% per year. These tax rates and investment returns are constant over time. On the basis of these facts, identify the following as true or false. (Support your answers with numerical examples.)
a. The annualized after-tax rate of return to investing in the corporate form increases with the length of the investor’s holding period. Explain.
b. The annualized after-tax rate of return to investing in the partnership form increases with the length of the partner’s holding period. Explain.
c. If a corporation paid out its entire after-tax profits as fully taxable dividends each year, shareholders would realize a lower before-tax rate of return than if the corporation retained the after-tax profits. Explain.
d. Because the corporate tax rate is below the personal tax rate, the corporate form is always preferred to the partnership form.
e. Because corporate income is subject to two levels of taxation, the partnership form is always preferred to the corporate form.
Solution :
a). The annualization after the tax returns by the investment in corporate from increases with a period of holding. It is true.
The reason is that the profits of the corporate are being taxed at a percentage of 35% instead of being taxed at 40% in the hands of the individual.
b). The statement is false because the annualization return on the investment would be less as the income of the firm will be taxed at the hands of individual for a rate of a personal income that is 40%. So after the annualization return of tax would be less tha in case of the partnership firm.
c). The statement is true. This is because the after the tax profit is distributed to the share holders that are again subjected to the tax in hands of the individual tax payer at 205 to 23.8%. But when the retained earnings are not given off as the dividends, then the net value of the shares will increase there by increasing the capital gains on the sales of the shares which are taxed at lower rate of 20%.
d). This statement is false. It is not that always the corporate firms are preferred, and as the dividends are again subjected to the tax at some different rates that depends on the tax rate of the personal incomes.
e) The statement is true. The corporate income is subjected to any two taxation levels so that the partnership firm is always preferred to corporate firm.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
First Quarter Expenditures:
Date Amount Weight Weighted-Average
January 1, $2,520,000 3/3 $2,520,000
February 1, $2,295,000 2/3 1,530,000
March 31, $3,285,000 0/3 0
Accumulated Weighted-Average expenditure = $4,050,000
Capitalized Interest = $4,050,000 * 10% * 1/4 = $405,000
Debts outstanding during the quarter:
Debt Amount Interest Expense
Note payable, 10%, incurred specifically
to finance construction $1,440,000 $0
Short-term note payable, 15% 2,250,000 $84,375
Mortgage note payable, 8% 1,080,000 $21,600
Total interest expense for the quarter $105,975
During year 3, Orca Corp. decided to change from the FIFO method of inventory valuation to the weighted-average method. Inventory balances under each method were as follows: FIFO Weighted-average January 1, year 3 $71,000 $77,000 December 31, year 3 $79,000 $83,000 Orca's income tax rate is 30%. In its year 3 financial statements, what amount should Orca report as the gain or loss on the cumulative effect of this accounting change
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since the inventory method changes that means there is no cumulative effect treatment to be done on the income statement. Rather this, the change in the accounting is mentioned, so the retrospective application to the early period would be presented
So neither there would be gain nor loss for this change in the accounting
Hence, the answer should be zero
HH Auto Repair reports the following information for the coming year.
Labor rate, including fringe benefits $ 45 per labor hour
Annual labor hours 10,900 hours
Annual materials (parts) purchases $2,090,000
Annual overhead costs:
Materials purchasing, handling, and storage $ 355,300
Other overhead (depreciation, insurance, taxes, rent) 185,300
Target profit margin (on both labor and materials) $ 33 %
1. Compute the price (rate) per hour of direct labor. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the materials markup (in %).
3. What price should the company quote for a job requiring five labor hours and $670 in parts? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Compute the price (rate) per hour of direct labor.
This will be:
= [45 + (185,300 / 10,900)]× 1.33
= (45 + 17) × 1.33
= 62 × 1.33
= $82.46
2. Compute the materials markup.
This will be:
= =(355,300 / 2090,000) + 33%
= 0.17 + 33%
= 17% + 33%
= 50%
3. What price should the company quote for a job requiring five labor hours and $670 in parts?
This will be:
= (670 × 1.5) + (82.46 × 5)
= 1005 + 412.3
= $1417.30
A firm is about to begin pilot plant operation on a process it has developed. One item of optional equipment that could be obtained is a heat exchanger unit. The company finds that a unit now available for $30,000 could be used in other company operations. It is estimated that the heat exchanger unit will be worth $35,000 at the end of 8 years. This seemingly high salvage value is due primarily to the fact that the $30,000 purchase price is really a rare bargain. If the firm believes 15% is an appropriate rate of return, what annual benefit is needed to justify the purchase of the heat exchanger unit
Answer:
$4,135.75
Explanation:
Let x be the annual benefit.
Year Cash flow D.F. at 15% Cumulative
0 -30000
1 X 0.869565217 0.869565217
2 X 0.756143667 1.625708885
3 X 0.657516232 2.283225117
4 X 0.571753246 2.854978363
5 X 0.497176735 3.352155098
6 X 0.432327596 3.784482694
7 X 0.37593704 4.160419734
8 X 0.326901774 4.487321508
8 35000 0.326901774
Present value of outflow = Present value of Inflow
By equating we get, 30000 = (35000 * 0.326902) + 4.487322x
30000 = 11441.57 + 4.487322x
4.487322x = 30000 - 11441.57
4.487322x = 18558.43
x = 18558.43/4.487322
x = 4135.747334378946
x = 4135.75
So, annual benefit is $4,135.75

The company owns 9,000 acres of timberland purchased two years ago at a cost of $1,400 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land without the timber was valued at $400 per acre. In the current year, the company built fire lanes and roads, with a life of 30 years, at a cost of $84,000. Every year, the company sprays to prevent disease at a cost of $3,000 per year and spends $7,000 to maintain the fire lanes and roads. During the current year, the company selectively logged and sold 700,000 board feet of timber, of the estimated 3,500,000 board feet. Next year, the company will plant new seedlings to replace the trees cut at a cost of $100,000. What is the cost of timber sold related to depletion during the current year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the depreciation expenses
Depreciation expense = Cost / life = $84,000 / 30 = $2,800 per year

Direct materials :
$18
Direct labor :
1.9 hours × $18 labor costs
$34.2
Overhead
1.9 labor hours × ($1.50 fixed rate + $1.0 variable rate)
$4.75
Total unit cost
$18 + $34.2 + $4.75
$56.95
Cost to produce 640 chairs :
640 chairs × $56.95 per chair = $36,448

What do you understand about risk management?Risk management can be understood as the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks followed by the coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. Risks can come from various sources including uncertainty in international markets, threats from project failures, legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters, deliberate attack from an adversary, or events of the uncertain or unpredictable root cause.
There are two types of events: they are negative events which can be classified as risks and positive events are classified as opportunities. Risk management standards have been developed by various institutions, including the Project Management Institute, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, actuarial societies, and ISO standards.
Risk management has appeared in scientific and management literature since the 1920s.
