Answer:
C) $ 15.00 per hour
Explanation:
total labor hours 26,000 per year
total indirect costs $390,000
if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:
$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour
This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) $15 per hour
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Expected wok for accountants = 26,000
The company estimated total indirect costs - 390,000
The next step is to find the allocation base cost for indirect cost.
Now,
The indirect labor cost is calculated as follows:
indirect cost allocation rate:
= Total indirect costs/Labor hours
= $390,000/26,000
= $15 per hours

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to inventories? The FIFO method assumes that the costs of the earliest goods acquired are the last to be sold. It is generally good business management to sell the most recently acquired goods first "Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased." FIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory.
Answer:
Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased.
Explanation:
First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.
On the other hand, last in, first out (LIFO) method uses the price of the most recently purchased units to determine the cost of goods sold.

In an effort to determine the optimal capital structure, the firm has assembled data on the cost of debt, the number of shares of common stock for various levels of indebtedness, and the overall required return on investment:
Capital structure/debt Cost of debt Number of stock shares Rate of return
0% 0% 200,000 12.3%
15 7.8 175,000 13.1
30 9.1 140,000 14.2

Calculate earnings per share for each level of indebtedness.
Answer:
Earnings per share:
0% debt = $5.145 per share
15% debt = $5.487 per share
30% debt = $6.203 per share
45% debt = $6.386 per share
60% debt = $6.570 per share
Explanation:
The earnings per share is the monetary value of how much each share of common stock outstanding has earned. The earnings per share can be calculated by dividing the Net Income attributable to common stockholders by the number of common stock shares outstanding.
Net Income attributable to Common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividends
Thus, Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred stock dividends) / Number of common stock shares outstanding
To calculate Earnings per share at each level of indebtedness, we first need to calculate the net income at each debt level. The net income will change as interest is deducted before calculating net income.
Net Income = EBIT - interest - tax
Total debt = Total assets * weightage of debt in capital structure
Tax = EBT * tax rate
a. 0% debt
Net Income = 2,050,000 - 0 - (2050000 * 0.4) = $1,230,000
Earnings per share = (1230000 - 201000) / 200000 = $5.145 per share
b. 15% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.15 = 1470000
EBT = 2,050,000 - (1470000 * 0.078) = $1935340
Net Income = 1935340 - ( 1935340 * 0.4) = $1161204
Earnings per share = (1161204 - 201000) / 175000 = $5.487 per share
c. 30% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.30 = 2940000
EBT = 2050000 - (2940000 * 0.091) = $1782460
Net Income = 1782460 - (1782460 * 0.4) = $1069476
Earnings per share = (1069476 - 201000) / 140000 = $6.203 per share
d. 45% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.45 = 4410000
EBT = 2050000 - (4410000 * 0.121) = $1516390
Net Income = 1516390 - (1516390 * 0.4) = $909834
Earnings per share = (909834 - 201000) / 111000 = $6.386 per share
e. 60% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.60 = 5880000
EBT = 2050000 - (5880000 * 0.152) = $1156240
Net Income = 1156240 - (1156240 * 0.4) = $693744
Earnings per share = (693744 - 201000) / 75000 = $6.570 per share

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $116,600. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $6,600. The equipment was used for 8,700 hours during Year 1, 7,380 hours in Year 2, and 3,920 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ended December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For STRAIGHT-LINE ONLY, round the first two years to the nearest whole dollar, then round the third year as necessary. For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1
Answer:
Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years. Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 - $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 - $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.
Explanation:
(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.
(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:
(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year
At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850
At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590
At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.
Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.
(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:
Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV
SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage
BV = Book value
SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3
At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737
At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 - $77,737) = $25,910
At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 - $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.
At the beginning of 2020, Vaughn Company acquired a mine for $1,965,400. Of this amount, $115,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,010,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Vaughn incurred $195,500 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $46,000. During 2020, 2,433,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,081,000 of these units were sold.
Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Answer:
$462,270.00
Explanation:
The first task is to determine the depletion rate per unit of ore extracted from the mine.
depletion rate=total cost the mine/total units of ore extract
total cost of mine=acquisition cost-land value+development costs+removal cost
total cost of mine=$1,965,400-$115,000+$195,500+$46,000=$2,091,900.00
total units of ore extract is 11,010,000 units
depletion rate= 2,091,900.00/11,010,000=$0.19 per unit of ore
depletion amount in 2020=depletion rate*ore extracted in 2020=2,433,000*$0.19 =$462,270.00
Answer:
$408,903
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Total Payment = $1,965,400
Land Value = $115,000
Value of Rights = $1,965,400 - $115,000 = $1,850,400
Estimated resources = 11,010,000 units
Resources extracted in the period = 2,433,000 units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expense = $1,850,400 x 2,433,000 / 11,010,000 units = $408,903

Milton Friedman argues that __________.
O corporations today should adopt a broader view of their social responsibilities than they have in the past.
O corporate officials have a social responsibility that goes beyond serving the interests of their stockholders.
O strict governmental controls are necessary if society is to maximize its overall economic well-being.
O a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Answer:
Milton Friedman argues that a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Explanation:
Milton Friedman is known to hold an opposing view when compared to that of John Keynes about economic theory.
Whereas Milton Friedman believes that the utmost responsibility of any company is to the shareholders, the Keynesian are more consumer focused.
Milton Friedman believes strongly in free capitalism and as a result does not advocate for any company offering corporate social responsibility to the society or public.

Peggy sells pistachios and almonds at the farmer’s market. She currently prices pistachios at $7 per bag and almonds at $4 per bag. She observes that every hour, 4 people each buy one bag of pistachios and 2 people each buy one bag of almonds. Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?
Answer:
The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9
Explanation:
Solution
The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14
The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4
So,
The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18
Thus,
we solve for getting average of the two which is:
Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2
=9
Therefore p =9

Vaughn Manufacturing expects to purchase $180000 of materials in July and $170000 of materials in August. Three-fourths of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase. How much will August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be?
Answer:
The August's cash disbursements for materials purchases would be
$172,500.00 for Vaughn Manufacturing
Explanation:
The cash disbursements in the month of August consist of the three-fourth cost of the August purchases and the one-fourth of the July purchases since the 3/4 of the cost of materials purchased is paid in the same month as purchases and the balance of 1/4 of purchase cost in the succeeding month
Cash disbursements in August=($170,000*3/4)+($180,000*1/4)=$127500 +$45,000=$172,500.00
Granite Enterprises acquired a patent from Southern Research Corporation on January 1, 2021, for $3.4 million. The patent will be used for five years, even though its legal life is 20 years. Rocky Corporation has made a commitment to purchase the patent from Granite for $110,000 at the end of five years. Compute Granite's patent amortization for 2021, assuming the straight-line method is used
Answer:
$658,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Granite Enterprises Patent acquired = $3.4 million
Used years = 5 years
Rocky corporation purchase after 5 years = $110,000
So, we can calculate the Granite's patent amortisation by using following formula:
Granite's patent amortisation = ($3,400,000 - $110,000) ÷ 5
= $3,290,000 ÷ 5
= $658,000
Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.
Answer:
The answer is 5000 future contracts
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company
Nowm,
The Required coverage = 500,000,000
The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000
Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000
So,
= 500,000,000/100,000 = 5000
Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

The expected variable cost per unit is $3.20 plus or minus 4 percent, and the expected fixed costs are $30,000 plus of minus 2 percent. The sales price is estimated at $7.50 a unit, plus or minus 4 percent. What is the operating cash flow for a sensitivity analysis using total fixed costs of $31,000
Answer:
$20,226
Explanation:
expected sales = 11,400 - 12,000 - 12,600
expected sales price = $7.20 - $7.50 - $7.80
expected variable cost = $3.072 - $3.20 - $3.328
total fixed costs = $31,000
if you use an excel spreadsheet you can calculate all the different possible simulations and combine all the expected sales x 3 different price levels x 3 different variable costs and 1 fixed cost. Once you get all the 27 possible solutions, you just get the average.

On January 1, 2011, G Corp. granted stock options to key employees for the purchase of 80,000 shares of the company's common stock at $25 per share. The options are intended to compensate employees for the next two years. The options are exercisable within a four-year period beginning January 1, 2013, by the grantees still in the employ of the company. No options were terminated during 2011, but the company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options. The market price of the common stock was $31 per share at the date of the grant. G Corp. used the Binomial pricing model and estimated the fair value of each of the options at $10. What amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011
Answer:
The amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 is $320,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 we would have to calculate the following formula:
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=Total compensation/2
Note: company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options, therefore, 100%-20%=80%
Total compensation= 80,000 options × $10 × 80%
Total compensation= $640,000
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$640,000/2
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$320,000
Discuss economic theory related to the quote above. Be sure to include a definition of Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) within your discussion. Locate and incorporate outside research that gives evidence and explanation as to the possible causes of these declines in the Labor Force Participation rate. Integrate biblical insights into your discussion board thread. In what way does scripture influence our decision to work
Answer:
The labor force is the group of individuals for employment. The labor force investment rate is the proportion of labor force partitioned by all out populace of the applicable age. As per month to month work survey, the labor force support rate keeps on falling.

Also, due to LFPR , the support of youth and the primary age bunch is required to decay. Likewise, the investment paces of laborers of more seasoned age are additionally anticipated to increment, yet remain essentially lower than those of the prime age group. These aspects have applied descending weight on the general labor force support proportion over the 2012–2022 time period and the proportion is relied upon to decrease further, to 61.6% in 2022.
The drawn out issue of joblessness is because of repetitive and auxiliary reasons, when numerous individuals the segment organization of a nation mirrors the portions of men, ladies, and the distinctive age, race, and ethnic gatherings inside that populace. The case of the time of increased birth rates age in segment change influences the labor force investment rate. Consistently after 2000, the portion of the time of increased birth rates populace has moved into the 55-years-and-more seasoned age bunch which transfers from the principal age gathering to one with considerable lesser investment proportions, origins the general cooperation of the labor force to decay.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000 and the rate of return is 12 percent per year, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now to have the $5,000 in five years
Answer:
$2837.13
Explanation:
The account value is multiplied by 1 +12% = 1.12 each year, so at the end of 5 years, it will have been multiplied by 1.12^5. For some investment P, we want ...
5000 = P×1.12^5
5000/1.12^5 = P ≈ $2837.13
James must deposit about $2837.13 now to have the required amount in 5 years.

Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000
Explanation:
Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.
Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.
In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.
Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000
Actual overheads incurred = $84,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads = $102,000 - $84,000 = $18,000

A financier plans to invest up to $500,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 17% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, she has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should the financier invest in each project in order to maximize the return on her investment
Answer:
She should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.
Explanation:
Solution
Since Project B yields a higher return, she should invest as much money as possible in it, which is 40% of the total investment or
or (0.40)($500,000) = $200,000
so
The remaining $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000 should be invested in Project A.
Therefore, she should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.

The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, __________ rises, the __________ curve shifts __________, inventory levels unexpectedly __________, and business firms __________ the quantity of goods and services they produce. Group of answer choices consumption; TE; downward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; rise; decrease investment; TE; upward; fall; increase investment; TP; leftward; fall; increase
Explanation:
The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. That is total production is equal to total production.
Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, consumption rises, the TE(total expenditure) curve shifts upwards, inventory levels unexpectedly falls, and business firms increases the quantity of goods and services they produce.
Mobility Partners makes wheelchairs and other assistive devices. For years it has made the rear wheel assembly for its wheelchairs. A local bicycle manufacturing firm, Trailblazers, Inc., offered to sell these rear wheel assemblies to Mobility. If Mobility makes the assembly, its cost per rear wheel assembly is as follows (based on annual production of 2,000 units): Direct materials $ 26 Direct labor 53 Variable overhead 21 Fixed overhead 49 Total $ 149 Trailblazers has offered to sell the assembly to Mobility for $110 each. The total order would amount to 2,000 rear wheel assemblies per year, which Mobility's management will buy instead of make if Mobility can save at least $20,000 per year. Accepting Trailblazers's offer would eliminate annual fixed overhead of $38,500. Required: a. Prepare a schedule that shows the total differential costs. (Select option "higher" or "lower", keeping Status Quo as the base. Select "none" if there is no effect.)
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the total differential cost schedule is presented below
Schedule showing statement of total differential cost
Particulars Make the wheels Buy from trailblazers Differential cost
Offer of trailblazer $220,000 $220,000 Higher
(2000 × $110)
Material cost $52,000 $52,000 Lower
($26 × 2000)
Labor cost $106,000 $106,000 Lower
($53 × 2000)
Variable overhead $42000 $42,000 Lower
($21 × 2000)
Fixed overhead $98000 $59,500 $38,500 Lower
($49 × 2000) ($98,000 -$38,500)
Total cost $298,000 $279,500 ($18,500) Lower
By adding the total cost we can get the making cost, buying cost and differential cost
