Bothell Company uses a job order costing system that allocates estimated overhead as 40% of prime costs. What is the cost of a job that required direct materials of $2,000 and direct labor of $5,200
Answer:
$10,080
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the job is shown below:
We know that
prime cost = direct material + Direct labor
= $2,000 + $5,200
= $,7200
Now overhead is
= 40% of $7200
= $2,880
And,
Cost of job = direct material + Direct labor + overhead
= $2,000 + $5,200 + $2,880
= $10,080
A buyer has decided to offer $335,000 for a home that she really likes. The bank will loan her 80% of the purchase price for 30 years at 5% interest. What will be the amount of her principal and interest payment if the requirement is $5.68 per thousand of the loan amount?
Answer:
We have:
Amount of principal = $268,000
Interest payment = $1,522.24
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
Loan principal = Cost of the home * Percentage to borrow = $335,000 * 80% = $268,000
Interest payment = (Loan principal / $1,000) * $5.68 = ($268,000 / $1,000) * $5.68 = 268 * $5.68 = $1,522.24
Therefore, we have:
Amount of principal = $268,000
Interest payment = $1,522.24

Suppose there are three factories in Macroland and the following occurred in 2019: Metal, plastic and a car factory. Metal factory produces $200, plastic factory produces $500, and car factory produces $700, of its respective products. The metal factory sells all of its output to the car factory. The plastic factory sells $80 worth of plastic to the car factory, $20 to the government, and the rest to consumers. The Car factory exports $50 of its cars and sells the rest to consumers.
Required:
What is the GDP of Macroland in 2019?
Answer:
$1120
Explanation:
The computation of the GDP is shown below:
Y = C + I + G + X
Here Y denotes the GDP
C denotes the consumption = $500 - $80 - $20 = $400 and 700 - 50 = $650
I denotes the investment = $
G denotes the government purchase = $20
X denotes the net exports = $50
So,
Y = $400 + $650 + 0 + $20 + $50
= $1120
Hatch has a standard of 2.2 hours of labor per unit, at $10.70 per hour. In producing 1,640 units, Hatch used 3,900 hours of labor at a total cost of $40,400. What is Hatch's total labor variance
Answer: $1,794.40 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Total labor variance = Actual cost of labor - Standard cost of labor
Actual cost of labor = $40,400
Standard cost of labor = Hours per unit * Cost per hour * Number of units
= 2.2 * 10.70 * 1,640
= $38,605.60
Total labor variance = 40,400 - 38,605.60
= $1,794.40 Unfavorable
Unfavorable because actual cost of labor was greater than the standard cost.

Explanation:
Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $290,000 and have a useful life of four years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $83,653 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $11,000.
b. A machine costs $200,000, has a $15,000 salvage value, is expected to last eleven years, and will generate an after-tax income of $46,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
1.89 years
3.18 years
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
Cash flow = net income + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(290,000 -11,000) / 4 = 69,750
Cash flow = $83,653 + 69,750 = 153,403
Payback = $290,000 / 153,403 = 1.89
(200,000 - 15,000) / 11 = 16,818.18
Cash flow = $46,000 + 16,818.18 = 62,818.18
Payback = 200,000 / 62,818.18 = 3.18

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gross tax liability
Answer:Jamie's gross tax liability is $19,572.50
Explanation:
Since Jamie is single with taxable income of $108,000 which includes $5,800 long term capital gain.
Therefore $102,200 (108,000 -5,800) will be taxed under normal tax rates and $5,800 would be under long term capital gain tax rate.
With regards the 2020 tax schedule, Since her ordinary income is $102,200, Jamie falls under 24% rate tax bracket under filing for single status.
qd
Tax liability on ordinary income =$14,382.50 plus 24% of any income you made above $84,200
14,382.50 + 0.24 (102,200 - 84,200)
14,382.50 + 0.24 x 18000
= 14,382.50 + 4,320
= $18,702.50
Also, according to her income, longterm capital gain tax applicable in 2020 is 15%
Tax on long term capital gain = 5,800 × 0.15
= $870
Jamie's gross tax liability is $18,702.50 + 870 = $19,572.50
Brandy’s Restaurant estimates that its total cost of providing Q meals per month is given by TC = 6,000 + 2 Q. If Brandy charges $4 per meal, what is its break-even level of output?
Answer: 3,000 meals
Explanation:
The 6,000 in this total cost formula represents the fixed costs of providing the Q meals per month.
The 2 represents the variable cost.
If a meal is $4, that means that the Contribution margin is:
= 4 - 2
= $2 per meal
The break-even level of output is:
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin per meal
= 6,000 / 2
= 3,000 meals

SureLock Manufacturing Co. makes and sells several models of locks. The cost records for the ZForce lock show that manufacturing costs total $19.62 per lock. An analysis of this amount indicates that $11.90 of the total cost has a variable cost behavior pattern, and the remainder is an allocation of fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price of this model is $29.00 per lock. A chain store has offered to buy 14,000 ZForce locks from SureLock at a price of $15.75 each to sell in a market that would not compete with SureLock’s regular business. SureLock has manufacturing capacity available and could make these locks without incurring additional fixed manufacturing overhead.
Required:
a. Calculate the effect on SureLock’s operating income of accepting the order from the chain store.
b. If SureLock’s costs had not been classified by cost behavior pattern, is it likely that a correct special order analysis would have been made? Explain your answer.
c. Identify the key qualitative factors that SureLock managers should consider with respect to this special order decision.
Answer:
a. $53900
Explanation:
a. the effect on surelocks operating income
$15.75 - $11.9
= $3.85*14000 zforce locks
= $53900
the operating income has risen by 53900 dolars
b. the correct special order analysis can only come in if the the actual cost that was made on the special order was stated. If not the decison cannot be tken rightly given that the total cost and the fixed manufacturing cost is higher than that of the special order price for selling. the special order is not going to be accepted given this reason. So a correct special order analysis would not be made.
c. the key qualitative factors are
selling cost for each lock for this special order and also the variable costs.

Riverside anticipates making 20,000 bouquets and 4,000 deliveries in the upcoming year. The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is closest to:
a. $12.50.
b. $7.15.
c. some other amount.
d. $8.75.
e. $13.75.
Answer:
b. $7.15
Explanation:
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = [($180,000*60%) + ($70,000*50%)] / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = ($108,000 + $35,000) / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $143,000 / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $7.15
So, the cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made will be $7.15.

On August 1, Lola Company’s assets are $30,000 and its liabilities are $10,000. On August 4, Lola issues a sustainability report. On August 5, ownership invests $3,000 cash and $7,000 of equipment in Lola. After the investment, what is the amount of equity for Lola?
Answer: $30,000
Explanation:
Before the investment, Equity was:
= Assets - Liabilities
= 30,000 - 10,000
= $20,000
The owner then invested $3,000 and $7,000 therefore making a total of $10,000.
Equity becomes
= 20,000 + 10,000
= $30,000
The equity is $30,000
Lola's company assets are $30,000
The liabilities are $10,000
Equity= $30,000-$10,000
= $20,000
On August 5, ownership invests $3,000 in cash and $7,000 in equipment
= $3,000+$7,000
= $10,000
The amount of equity for Lola is
= $20,000+$10,000
= $30,000

Find the next year's net income for XYZ Inc. Next year, the sales grow by 25%. The current sales $300 million, and the current profit margin is 10% and you expect it to remain constant.
Answer: $37.5 million
Explanation:
The next year's net income for XYZ will be calculated as follows:
Current sales = $300 million
Current Profit margin = 10%
Sales Growth rate = 25%
The next year's sales will be:
= Current Year's Sales × (1 + Sales Growth rate)
= $300 million × (1 + 0.25)
= $300 million × 1.25
= $375 million
Next Year's Net Income will then be:
= $375 million × 10%
= $37.5 million
Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)
Answer:
The costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Trey Monson starts a merchandising business on December 1 and enters into the following three inventory purchases. Also, on December 15, Monson sells 15 units for $20 each.
Purchases on December 7 10 units at $ 6.00 cost
Purchases on December 14 20 units at $12.00 cost
Purchases on December 21 15 units at $14.00 cost
Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)
The explanation of the answer is no provided as follows:
Periodic inventory refers to an inventory system that is updated on a periodic basis such as monthly, quarterly, or annually.
The weighted average method is a formula that divides the cost of products offered for sale by the number of units available for sales.
Combining these two methods, we have:
Value of Purchases on December 7 = 10 * $6.00 = $60
Value of Purchases on December 14 = 20 * $12.00 = $240
Value of Purchases on December 21 = 15 * $14.00 = $210
Total value of units available for sale = $60 + $240 + $210 = $510
Total units available for sale = 10 + 20 + 15 = 45
Costs assigned to ending inventory per unit = Weighted average cost per unit = Total value of units available for sale / Total units available for sale $510 / 45 = $11.33
Units of ending inventory = Total units available for sale – Number of units sold = 45 - 15 = 30
Total cost of ending inventory = Units of ending inventory * Weighted average cost per unit = $11.33 * 30 = $340
Therefore, the costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.
