Answer:
A = $6,125
B = $2,125
C = $6,125
Explanation:
Standard Labor Time = 0.5 hours, Standard Labor rate = $12.50 per hour, Standard Time = 4800 * 0.5hour P U = 2400 hours
Actual labor time used = 2,230, Direct labor Cost = $34,000 per hour =$15.25 , Units manufactured = 4,800
(a) Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - standard cost of Actual Hours = $34,000 - ($12.50 * 2230) = $34,000 - $27,875 = $6,125 Favorable
(b) Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Cost of Actual Hours - Standard Cost = (2,230 * 12.50) - (12.50 * 2400) = $27,875 - $30,000 = $2,125 Unfavorable
(c) Flexible budget labor cost variance = Flexible Budget cost - Actual Cost = (Actual qty * Std Rate) - (Actual qty - Actual Rate) = (2,230 * $12.50) - $34,000 = $27,875 - $34,000 = $6,125 Unfavorable
A company started the year with $1,500 of supplies on hand. During the year the company purchased additional supplies of $800 and recorded them as increase to the supplies asset. At the end of the year the company determined that only $300 of supplies are still on hand. What is the adjusting journal entry to be made at the end of the period
Answer:
Debit : Supplies Expense $2,000
Credit : Supplies $2,000
Explanation:
The adjusting journal entry to be made at the end of the period should reflect the usage of supplies.
Supplies used = Opening Balance + Purchases - Inventory Balance
therefore,
Supplies used = $1,500 + $800 - $300
= $2,000
A Debit to Expense Account - Supplies Expense and A Credit to Asset Account - Supplies must be made to depict the usage of supplies.

Required:
Record the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
Answer:
Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
Explanation:
In the attached excel file, we have:
Sales tax payable on sales for November Year 1 = $65,500 * 9% = $5,895
Sales tax payable on sales for December Year 1 = $79,500 * 9% = $7,155
Assets = $152,155
Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $7,155 + $145,000 = $152,155
Therefore, the accounting equation is proved as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
Project Management Practice ProblemBragg’s Bakery is building a new automated bakery downtown Sandusky. Here are the activities that need to be completed to get the new bakery built and the equipment installed.
ACTIVITYPREDECESSORNORMAL TIME (WEEK)CRASH TIME (WEEK)EXPEDITING COST/WEEKA-963000BA853500CA15104000DB,C532000EC1062500FD,E215000
Hint: I have directly provided the crashing cost per unit time.
a. What is the normal project length?
b. What is the critical path in this project?
c. Which activity will you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week?
d. What is the project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum?
e. What is the slack for activity D?
Answer:
a. The normal project length is 36 weeks.
b. The critical path in this project is A-C-E-F.
c. The activity that you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week is E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d. The project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum is 23 weeks.
e. The slack for activity D is 5 weeks.
Explanation:
a) The normal length of the project = completion time of last activity = 36 weeks.
b) The criteria for critical activity:
[tex]LC_{i} = ES_{i} ,\\LC_{j} = ES_{j} ,\\[/tex]
[tex]ES_j - ES_i = LF_j - LF_{i} =[/tex] duration of the activity
where ES = Earliest start time, EF = Earliest finish time , LC = latest completion time, LF = latest finish time ,
The suffix- i refers to the preceding node, suffix-j refers to the succeeding node.
activities satisfying above all criteria are A, C, E, F
therefore critical path is A-C-E-F.
c) To reduce the project duration by 1 week. we should choose to crash among critical activities A, C, E, F. thus we choose to crash activity E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d) if we crash all the activities to their minimum, then the project length = sum of crash time of all critical activities
= [6 + 10 + 6 + 1]
= 23 weeks.
e) The slack of activity d = LS - ES = 34 - 29
= 5 weeks
The critical path is given in the diagram,

a. 6.00 years.
b. 1.99 year.
c. 6.05 years.
d. 12.10 years.
e. 3.01 years.
Answer:
e. 3.01 years
Explanation:
Cost of Asset = $57,000
Net annual cash Inflow = Net Income after Tax + Depreciation
Net annual cash Inflow = $9,425 + $9,500
Net annual cash Inflow = $18,925
Payback Period = Cost of Asset (Investment) / Net annual cash Inflow
Payback Period = $57,000 / $18,925
Payback Period = 3.01188904
Payback Period = 3.01 years
The text defines management as “The art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.” Put yourself in the shoes of a manager and explain what this definition means in the context of a company operation. You can use the example of any company (large or small) and any good or service.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you did not attach the text, we can comment on the quote.
"The art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.”
This quote means that good managers motivate and positively influence employees to get the job done. Managers coordinate and monitor the work of the employees. Managers first plan, then establish the goals to be accomplished and then direct the work effort to be productive.
If I were a manager of a company, I definitely try to emulate what the quote says. For instance, the manager of a recreational and sports club. I would do everything to establish clear, specific, and attainable goals so my employees could understand them. Then I describe the role and responsibilities of each employee so they can do their job without any doubts. And of course, I would delegate so they can do their jobs happily. No unnescesary intromissions. The objective would be to offer the best service possible to our clients.
XYZ shop has a favorite model that has annual sales of 145. The cost to place an order to replenish inventory is $25 per order, and annual inventory holding cost per unit is $20. Assume the store is open 350 days per year. a. What is the optimal order size
Answer:
EOQ= 19 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Demand= 145 units
Order cost= $25 per order
Holding cost= $20.
To calculate the optimal order quantity, we need to use the economic order quantity method:
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
EOQ= √[(2*145*25) / 20]
EOQ= √362.5
EOQ= 19 units

Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wanted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?
a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct
Answer:
Logan Horse Ranch
The most accurate is:
e. None of the above are correct
Explanation:
Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible. Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour. With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct. This leaves only option E as the most accurate.

Juanita worked hard all year so that she could go to nursing school the following year. She put her savings into a mutual fund that paid a nominal interest rate of 4 percent a year. The CPI was 252 at the beginning of the year and 257 at the end of the year. What was the real interest rate that Juanita earned?
Answer:
1.98%
Explanation:
Inflation rate = (CPI at the end of the year / CPI at the beginning of the year) - 1
(257 / 252) - 1 = 0.01984 = 1.984%
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + inflation rate) (1 + real interest rate)
1.04 = 1.01984 x (1 + real interest rate)
(1 + real interest rate) = (1.04 / 1.01984) - 1 = 1.98%

If Stephenson wishes to maximize its total market value, would you recommend that it issue debt or equity to finance the land purchase. Explain.
Answer:
The answer is issue debt finance
Explanation:
Should Stephenson wishes to maximize the total market value he should issue debt to finance the land purchase.
Why? - Because the interest payments of debt are tax deductible, A capital structure that has a debt will shrink the company’s taxable income, and will form a tax shield that will ultimately increase the total value of the company.
GHI Corporation, a California corporation, has a six-person board. At a regular board meeting, only two directors attend. No notice was sent to any of the directors. The two attending call directors Alice and Bob and put them on a conference call. The four talk about the corporation buying Blackacre and then all agree to a resolution for GHI to buy Blackacre from Third Party. The Bylaws of GHI state that an action of the board requires the consent of a majority of the directors present at a meeting, and that a quorum is a majority of the authorized directors.
Select one:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
b. the purchase is not authorized, since all real estate transactions require shareholder approval
c. the purchase is not authorized because prior written notice must be sent to each director
d. the purchase is not authorized because a quorum was not present at the board meeting
e. Two of the above are correct.
Answer:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
Explanation:
going by the bye laws of GHI state, board action requires that majority of the members of the board are present and give consent in the meeting. here in this question, we have a 6 member board. Although only two of the board members are physically present, through conference call Alice and Bob increased the number to 2 when they joined in. Therefore the number of board members at this meeting is 4, then the requirement has been met. So since this 4 agreed to the purchase, it is authorized and valid since a quorum was present and a majority of them agreed to the action. option a is correct
The correct statement is a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and, a majority of those present approved the action.
The quorum required by the Bylaws of GHI is for a majority of directors to be present, and in this case, four directors were present (two physically and two by conference call).
The Bylaws of GHI specify that every action of the directors should be supported by a majority present at a meeting. We can conclude that the purchase is authorized by the majority (100%).
Thus, the purchase of Blackacre by GHI is authorized.

Maplewood Co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned energy drinks. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Cost per equivalent unit has been calculated to be $4.00 for conversion costs and $3.00 for materials. 2,000 units were in beginning inventory (100% complete for materials, 80% for conversion). 8,000 units were started and completed during the period. Ending inventory still in process was 4,000 units (100% complete for materials, 40% forconversion). The value of ending inventory using the FIFO method would be:______.
A. $18,400.00B. $23,133.20C. $31,933.20D. $65,000.00
Answer:
A. $18,400.00
Explanation:
The computation of the value of ending inventory using the FIFO method would be shown below:
Value of ending inventory = Materials + Conversion costs
where,
Materials = (4000 units × 100%) × $3 per unit
= $12,000
And,
Conversion costs = (4000 units × 40%) × $4 per unit
= $6,400
So, the ending inventory is
= $12,000 + $6,400
= $18,400
Analysts estimate that a bond has a 40 percent probability of being priced at $950 and a 60 percent probability of being priced at $1,050 one year from today. The bond is also callable at any time at $1,010. What is the expected value of this bond in one year?
A) $1,000
B) $980
C) $1,010
D) $995
E) $986
Answer:
E) $986
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value of the bond in one year is shown below;
= (Probability × Price of bond) + (Probability × Callable price bond)
= (0.4 × $950) + (0.60 × $1,010)
= $986
Hence, the expected value of the bond in one year is $986
Therefore the correct option is E.
Consider a telephone call to London that currently would cost $5. If the real price of telephone calls does not change in the future, how much will it cost you to make a call to London in 50 years if the inflation rate is 5% (roughly its average over the past 30 years)? What if inflation is 10%.
Answer:
If inflation were 5%, the value of the call in 50 years would be $ 57.33; while if inflation were 10% the value of the call would be $ 586.95.
Explanation:
Given that a telephone call to London that currently would cost $ 5, to determine, if the real price of telephone calls does not change in the future, how much will it cost you to make a call to London in 50 years if the inflation rate is 5% and if inflation is 10%, the following calculations must be made:
5 x 1.05 ^ 50 = X
5 x 11.4674 = X
57.33 = X
5 x 1.1 ^ 50 = X
5 x 117.39 = X
586.95 = X
Therefore, if inflation were 5%, the value of the call in 50 years would be $ 57.33; while if inflation were 10% the value of the call would be $ 586.95.
Which of the following tasks is not required when using a two-stage activity-based costing model?A. Determining the cost per unit of activityB. Determining how much direct labor each cost object consumesC. Identifying activitiesD. Assigning costs to activities
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, Activity-based budgeting (ABC) is a better way to allocate overhead expenses. The expense of each recurrence of an overlay occurrence throughout the procedure is determined during first step of allocation. The cost of every incidence is then allocated to individual things manufactured by the company inside the second stage.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.
Amazon Corporation owns machinery with a book value of $760,000. It is estimated that the machinery will generate future cash flows of $700,000. The machinery has a fair value of $560,000. Amazon should recognize a loss on impairment of:_______.
Answer: $200,000
Explanation:
The loss on impairment refers to the difference between the carrying or book value of an asset and the fair/ recoverable value of same.
Loss on impairment = Book value - Fair value
= 760,000 - 560,000
= $200,000
The value of the machinery would fall by $200,000 to tally it to its fair value.
