Answer 1

Answer:

Owner owes Builder : B. $2,000.

Explanation:

A Liability is the present obligation of the entity, that arises as a result of past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in a cash outflow from the entity.

Initially, the Owners owes the Builder $,1500

For the fence to be completed on time, an addition of $500 was owed, upon the owner accepting this arrangement.

Thus, the total obligation owing to the Builder is $2,000.

Portia Grant is an employee who is paid monthly. For the month of January of the current year, she earned a total of 8,588. The FICA tax for social security is 6.2% of the first $118,500 of employee earnings each calendar year and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings. The FUTA tax rate of 0.6% and the SUTA tax rate of 5.4% are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The amount of federal income tax withheld from her earnings was $1,424.97. Her net pay for the month is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
a) $7,038.50
b) $5,141.03
c) $6,072.04
d) $6,566.00
e) $6,506.04

Answers

Answer: e) $6,506.04

Explanation:

Employees do not pay FUTA or SUTA. Employers pay those.

Ms. Grant's net pay for the month therefore is;

= Gross earnings - FICA Social Security - FICA Medicare - Federal Income tax withheld

= 8,588 - (6.2% * 8,588) - ( 1.45% * 8,588) - 1,424.97

= 8,588 - ‭532.46 - ‭124.53 - 1,424.97

= $6,506.04‬

Treasury bonds paying an 8% coupon rate with semiannual payments currently sell at par value. What coupon rate would they have to pay in order to sell at par if they paid their coupons annually? (Hint: What is the effective annual yield on the bond?)

Answers

Answer:

8.16%

Explanation:

current yield = bond's value x (1 + semiannual interest rate)ⁿ

in this case:

bond's value = $1,000 (we choose the value)semiannual interest rate = 8% / 2 = 4%n = 2 semiannual coupons

current yield = $1,000 x (1 + 4%)² = $1,000 x 1.0816 = $1,081.60

in order for a bond that pays an annual coupon to be sold at the same value, it must yield the same return = ($1,081.60 - $1,000) / $1,000 = 8.16%

A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested. a. How much money will they have accumulated 30 years from now

Answers

Answer:

Total future value= $408,334.38

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested.

First, we will determine the future value of the annual deposit investment. We need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {3,000*[(1.08^30) - 1]} / 0.08

FV= $339,849.63

Now, for the $10,000:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 10,000*(1.08^25)

FV= $68,484.75

Total future value= 339,849.63 + 68,484.75

Total future value= $408,334.38

A U.S. manufacturing company operating a subsidiary in an LDC (less-developed country) shows the following results:

Sales (units) 100,000 20,000
Labor (hours) 20,000 15,000
Raw materials (currency) $20,000 FC 20,000
Capital equipment (hours) 60,000 5,000
a. Calculate partial labor and capital productivity figures for the parent and subsidiary. Do the results seem confusing?
b. Compute the multifactor productivity figures for labor and capital together. Do the results make more sense?
c. Calculate raw material productivity figures (units/$ where $1=FC 10). Explain why these figures might be greater in the subsidiary.

Answers

Answer:

a. Labor Productivity:

Country     Sales (Units)    Labour (hours)     Productivity (Sales/Labour hours)

U.S              100,000              20,000              5 units / hours

LDC             20,000                15,000               1.33 units/ hours

Capital Productivity

Country     Sales (Units)    Capital (hours)     Productivity (Sales/Capital hours)

U.S              100,000               60,000                1.67 units / hour

LDC             20,000                 5,000                  4 units / hours

Conclusion: Yes, the result seems confusing. The labour productivity in U.S. is higher than LDC while the capital productivity in U.S. is lower than LDC which is contradictory.

b. Multi-factor productivity for Labor and Capital

Country      Sales                  Input                  Productivity

                  (Units)         (Labor + Capital)       (units/hours)

U.S.          100,000                80,000                1.25 units/hour

                                       (20,000 + 60,000)

LDC           20,000                 20,000                1 units/hour

                                        (15,000 + 5,000)

Conclusion: Yes it make sense as multi-factor productivity is better than partial productivity. Labor and capital are subtitles and that gives better presentation of the productivity.

c. Raw material productivity

Country      Sales           Raw material            Productivity

                  (Units)            (Currency)              (units/hours)

U.S.            100,000         $20,000                  5 units per dollar

LDC            20,000          = $2,000                 10 units per dollar        

Conclusion: The figures are greater in subsidiary because the price paid for raw material is much slower than the parent country.

 

Note: $1 = FC 10

$20,000 = FC 10

FC = $20,000 / 10 = $2,000

c) Since Clemenson accounts for the Treasury Stock transactions using the cost method, it means that all treasury transactions are recorded directly in the Treasury Stock account based on their cost and not the par value.  This method of using the cost is one of the two methods for accounting for treasury stock transactions.  The other method, which Clemenson can use is the par value method.  Under this second method, Clemenson will record the above and below par value differences in the Paid-in Capital in excess of par account instead of the Treasury Stock account.  While the treasury stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account, in Clemenson's case, the Treasury Stock balance is not a debit but a credit balance.

Dermody Snow Removal's cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $2,960 per month plus $326 per snow-day. For the month of December, the company planned for activity of 20 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 18 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $9,770. The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to: rev: ________

a. $290 U
b. $290 F
c. $942 U

Answers

Answer:

c. $942 U

Explanation:

Spending variance = Standard cost at 20 snow days - Actual operating cost.

Spending variance = [$2,960 + ($326*18)] - $9,770

Spending variance = $8,828 - $9,770

Spending variance = $942 (Unfavorable).

Note: The actual level of activity = 18 snow-days.

Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $624, repairs of $364 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $696. What is the cost of the equipment

Answers

Answer:

The cost of the equipment is $45,416.

Explanation:

The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.

The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.

However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.

Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:

Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)

Since,

Purchase price = $41,600

Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.

Freight charges = $624

Installation costs = $696.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416

Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.

C. a debit to FICA-Medicare Taxes Payable for $830.80
D. a debit to Salaries Payable to employees for $830.80

Answers

Answer:

B. a credit to FICA-OASDI Taxes Payable for $830.80

Explanation:

Free Star, Inc. In February 2019.

Angie's gross pay was $6000,

Ferro's gross pay was $7400

Total gross pay $ 13400

FICA-OASDI Tax  6.296 %

$ 13400 * 6.2% = $ 830.80

The recording of the journal entry would require a debit to FICA tax and credit to FICA tax payable .

The FICa tax is 6.2 % which equals to $ 830.80 of the two gross pays.

The manager of a crew that installs carpeting has tracked the crew’s output over the past several weeks, obtaining these figures:


Week Crew Size Yards Installed
1 4 97
2 3 71
3 4 98
4 2 54
5 3 63
6 2 52


a. Compute the labor productivity for each of the weeks. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)


Week Crew size Labor productivity
(Yards/Person)
1 4
2 3
3 4
4 2
5 3
6 2



b. Which crew size works best?

Answers

Answer:

a. Labor productivity is calculated as: Labor productivity = Total Yards Installed / Total Crew Size

Hence, the labor productivity for each week is;

Week 1 = 97 / 4 = 24.25

Week 2 = 71 / 3 = 23.67

Week 3 = 98 / 4 = 24.5

Week 4 = 54 / 2 = 27

Week 5 = 63 / 3 = 21

Week 6 = 52 / 2 = 26

b. A crew of size 2 works the best as they generate the highest labor productivity of 27. The crew with highest number generate a labor productivity of 24.5

Redford's salary was $123,000 in 2019. What would his total combined FICA tax (OASDI & Medicare) withheld from his salary be for the year?

Answers

Answer:

$9,409.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the total combined FICA tax (OASDI & Medicare) withheld from Redford's salary for the year

For the year 2019 the total FICA tax rate is 7.65%

Which are :

OASDI tax = 6.2%

+ Medicare tax =1.45%

Now let calculated the amount of OASDI tax for Redford's salary

Using this formula

OASDI tax =Salary ×OASDI tax rate

Let plug in the formula

OASDI tax =$123,000×6.2%

OASDI tax =$7,626

Let let calculated the amount of the Medicare tax for Redford's salary

Using this formula

Medicare tax =Salary ×Medicare tax rate

Let plug in the formula

Medicare tax=$123,000*1.45%

Medicare tax=$1,783.50

Total combined FICA tax

OASDI tax =$7,626

Medicare tax=$1,783.50

Total=$9,409.50

Therefore what the total combined FICA tax (OASDI & Medicare) withheld from his salary will be for the year is $9,409.50

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 15,000 units and wants a target profit of $22 per unit. Additional information is as follows:

Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit 11
Total fixed overhead 13,500
Total fixed administrative 21,000

Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used?

Answers

Answer:

81%

Explanation:

Calculation for the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used

Using this formula

Markup percentage=[(Target profit + Fixed overhead costs + Fixed administrative costs) / Total variable costs

Let plug in the formula

Markup percentage=[($22*15,000 units)+$13,500+$21,000]/$30×15,000)

Markup percentage=($330,000+$13,500+$21,000)/$450,000

Markup percentage=$364,500/$450,000

Markup percentage=0.81*100

Markup percentage=81%

Calculation for Total variable costs

Variable product cost per unit $19

Variable administrative cost per unit $11

Total variable costs =$30

Therefore the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used will be 81%

c. one that pays $ 1350 in five years
d. one that pays $ 1620 in ten years

Answers

Answer:

c. one that pays $ 1350 in five years

Explanation:

we have to calculate the present value of each option:

option a, $900 (that is the present value)option b, $1,080 in 2 years. PV = $1,080 / (1 + 4%)² = $998.52option c, $1,350 in 5 years. PV = $1,350 / (1 + 4%)⁵ = $1,109.60option d, $1,620 in 10 years. PV = $1,620 / (1 + 4%)¹⁰ = $1,094.41

Option c yields the highest present value = $1,109.60
