Inspection hours 2,000 16,000 18,000
Number of moves 180 120 300
First we find the rate by dividing the overhead costs with the corresponding cost driver as follows.
Overhead costs: Rate
Setting up equipment $240,000 = Setting up equipment / Number of setups=$240,000/100=2400
Moving materials 120,000 = Moving materials/Number of moves
120,000/300=400
Machine 200,000 = Machining/Machine hours
= 200,000/ 90,000=2.222
Inspecting 160,000 = Inspection/Inspection hours
= 160,000/18000= 8.89
Now we find the overhead applied to the scented cards by multiplying the rate to the corresponding overhead activity of the scented cards.
Activity Rate Scented Cards
Setups: 2400 2400*60=$ 144,000
Moving materials: 400 400*180= $72000

If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $12,575 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Last year, the company’s direct labor payroll totaled $352,100 for 50,300 direct labor hours. The standard wage rate is $6.75 per direct labor hour.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 352,100/50,300= $7 per hour
Direct labor rate variance= (6.75 - 7)*50,300
Direct labor rate variance= $12,575 unfavorable
Suppose the interest rate is 4.3 %. a. Having $ 400 today is equivalent to having what amount in one year? b. Having $ 400 in one year is equivalent to having what amount today? c. Which would you prefer, $ 400 today or $ 400 in one year? Does your answer depend on when you need the money? Why or why not? a. Having $ 400 today is equivalent to having what amount in one year?
Answer: a. $417.2. b. $383.51. c. $400 today.
Explanation:
a. Present value = $400
Interest rate = 4.3%
Future value= PV(1+r)^n
= 400(1+0.043)^1
= 400(1.043)
= $417.2
b. FV = $400
PV = Unknown
Interest = 4.3%
Future value= PV(1+r)^n
400 = PV(1+0.043)^1
400 = PV(1.043)
PV = 400/1.043
PV = $383.51
c. I'll prefer $400 today.
My answer does not depend on me needing money presently, I can actually invest the $400 today and get more value when it's a year. I'll have made more than $400.

During Year 2, Allegheny wrote off $6,300 of Uncollectible Accounts. Using the percent of receivables method, Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $5,400. What amount will Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement
Answer:
$8,250
Explanation:
Relevant data provided for compute the Uncollectible Accounts Expense is here below:-
Amount written off = $6,300
Closing balance = $5,400
Opening balance = $3,450

Select a publicly traded firm of your choice that enjoys a large shareholder base. What challenges may this firm have encountered (or is likely to encounter) in terms of (a) incorporating ethics into financial management practices, and (b) maintaining/sustaining ethical practices in the face of internal or external (market) pressures? Frame your response relative to the financial manager's fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder's wealth.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The publicly traded firm of my choice is Amazon.
a. Amazon would in its initial phase have encountered challenges as a result of the inculcating of financial management practises. At the beginning, the founders and the employees may not be willing to disclose all the profits on their books of accounts.
Also, the use of debt might not be taken as a healthy sign at the beginning. The preparation of statement of position might not be taken seriously and the internal control mechanisms will have been challenging to put up and also keep accountability.
b. It would have been really difficult for managers to sustain best practises during pressures. Also, stakeholders due to their personal goals might not allow finance manager to independently work. The pressure to exhibit certain level of sales or profit may also be there.
Furthermore, the lagging or leading of expenses might be done to show
lesser or higher profit. A materially price sensitive information might not be disclosed or reported. Finally, the extent of any loss might also not be reported as a result of internal pressures.
If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Frederick Company has two service departments (Cafeteria Services & Maintenance). Frederick has two production departments (Assembly Department & Packaging Department.) Frederick uses a step allocation method where Cafeteria Services is allocated to all departments and Maintenance Services is allocated to the production departments. All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10
Answer:
The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.
Total employees of in Production Department is= 10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20
Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20
Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750
Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department
Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500
A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000
Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000
But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.
Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of
= $18,000 - $12000
= $6000.
With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.

Grape has experienced bad debt losses of 4% of credit sales in prior periods. After making the adjusting entry for estimated bad debts, what is the ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts accou
Answer:
$9,700
Explanation:
The calculation of ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account is shown below:-
Ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account = Net credit sales × Credit sales percentage + Credit balance
= $180,000 × 4% + $2,500
= $7,200 + $2,500
= $9,700
So, for computing the ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account we simply applied the above formula.
Alpine Thrills Ski Company recently expanded its manufacturing capacity. The firm will now be able to produce up to 32,000 pairs of cross-country skis of either the mountaineering model or the touring model. The sales department assures management that it can sell between 26,000 and 30,000 units of either product this year. Because the models are very similar, the company will produce only one of the two models.
The following information was compiled by the accounting department.
Model
Mountaineering Touring
Selling price per unit $ 149.00 $ 137.00
Variable costs per unit 87.70 87.70
Fixed costs will total $622,400 if the mountaineering model is produced but will be only $526,200 if the touring model is produced. Alpine Thrills Ski Company is subject to a 50 percent income tax rate.
Required:
Compute the contribution-margin ratio for the touring model. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
If Alpine Thrills Ski Company desires an after-tax net income of $41,620, how many pairs of touring skis will the company have to sell? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole unit.)
How much would the variable cost per unit of the touring model have to change before it had the same break-even point in units as the mountaineering model? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Suppose the variable cost per unit of touring skis decreases by 15 percent, and the total fixed cost of touring skis increases by 15 percent. Compute the new break-even point. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer up to nearest whole unit.)
Answer:
35.98%
12,362 pairs
$2.53
9,688 pairs
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1)
As we know that
Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (Selling price per unit) × 100
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit\
So,
Selling price = $137.00
Variable cost = $87.70
Contribution Margin = $137.00 - $87.70 = $49.30
Contribution margin ratio = $49.30 ÷ $137.00
= 35.98%
2)
Net Income after tax = $41,620
Income Before tax = $41,620 ÷ 50%
= $83,240
Now Pairs of touring skis will be sold by company = (Income before tax + fixed cost) ÷ Contribution Margin
= ($83,240 + $526,200) ÷ $49.30
= 12,362 pairs
3)
Break-even of mountaineering model
= Fixed cost ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit)
= $622,400 ÷ ($149 - $87.70)
= $10,153
Now Let Variable cost be Y
$10,153 = $526,200 ÷ ($137 - Y)
Y = $85.17
Therefore, Variable cost per unit decreased by
= ($87.70 - $85.17)
= $2.53
4)
New Fixed cost
= Fixed cost × increased percentage
= $526,200 × 1.15
= $605,130
New variable cost per unit
= $87.70 × 0.85
= $74.54
New Break-even point = New Fixed cost ÷ Contribution Margin
= $605,130 ÷ ($137-$74.54)
= 9,688 pairs

Product cost= $153,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $ 72,000
Direct labor $ 36,500
Variable manufacturing overhead $16,200
Fixed manufacturing overhead 28,900
Total manufacturing overhead $ 45,100
The product cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and total manufacturing overhead.
Product cost= 72,000 + 36,500 + 45,100
Product cost= $153,600
Bottum Corporation, a manufacturing Corporation, has provided data concerning its operations for May. The beginning balance in the raw materials account was $23,500 and the ending balance was $43,000. Raw materials purchases during the month totaled $70,000. Manufacturing overhead cost incurred during the month was $114,500, of which $2,700 consisted of raw materials classified as indirect materials. The direct materials cost for May was:
Answer:
Direct Materials Used In May $ 50,500
Explanation:
Bottum Corporation
We add the beginning inventory with the purchases and subtract the ending inventory to get the direct materials used.
Beginning balance Raw materials $23,500
Add Raw materials purchases $70,000
Less Ending balance Raw materials $43,000
Direct Materials Used In May $ 50,500
The cost of the purchases remains the same that is $ 70,000 but the direct materials used during May are $ 50,500
Answer:
$47,800
Explanation:
Direct materials cost= beginning raw material inventory + raw material purchases - ending raw materials
$23,500 + $70,000- $43,000 - 2700 = $47,800
On September 1, Year 1, Gomez Company collected $9,000 in advance from a customer for services to be provided over a one-year period beginning on that date. How much revenue would Gomez Company report related to this contract on its income statement for the year ended December 31, Year 1? How much would the company report as net cash flows from operating activities for Year 1?
Answer:
$3,000 and $9,000
Explanation:
In the income statement only four months revenue is recorded i.e from September 1 to December 31
= $9,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months
= $3,000
And, under the operating activities the whole amount i.e $9,000 is to be recorded and added to the net income as it is inflow of cash and the same is added using the direct method of the cash flow statements
Whit Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $380 per month plus $94 per job plus $11 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in October to be 20 jobs and 216 meals, but the actual activity was 19 jobs and 221 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in October was $4,790. The catering supplies in the flexible budget for October would be closest to:
Answer:
$4,636
Explanation:
The calculation of catering supplies in the flexible budget for October is shown below:-
Catering supplies in the flexible budget for October = Catering supplies + Per Job × October jobs + Per meal × October Meals
= $380 + $94 × 20 + $11 × 216
= $380 + $1,880 + $2,376
= $4,636
Therefore for computing the catering supplies in the flexible budget for October we simply applied the above formula.
Let RUS be the annual risk free rate in the United States, RUK be the risk free rate in the United Kingdom, F be the futures price of $/BP for a 1-year contract, and E the spot exchange rate of $/BP. Which one of the following is true?
A. if RUS > RUK, then E > F
B. if RUS < RUK, then E < F
C. if RUS > RUK, then E < F
D. if RUS < RUK, then F = E E.
There is no consistent relationship that can be predicted.
Answer:
If RUS > RUK, then E < F ( C )
Explanation:
RUS = annual risk free rate in united states
RUK = annual risk free rate in United kingdom
F = futures price of $/BP for 1 year
E = spot exchange rate for $/BP
To get a higher the future price
this conditions must be met
The annual risk free rate of the united states must be higher than the annual risk free rate of the united kingdom. if this condition is met then the the British pound will have a forward premium ( F ) > ( E )
Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.
