At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 215,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 3,655,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00 Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,500. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 1,610 Direct labor cost $ 1,155 Machine-hours used 82 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Plant wide predetermined overhead rate is $19 per hour

2. Manufacturing cost assigned to job P90 is $4,323

Explanation:

1. In order to calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours expended, the fixed overhead cost would have to be divided by the machine hours and then add up variable overhead cost per machine hour

= [ Fixed manufacturing overhead / Machine hours required to support production ] + Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine hour

= [$3,655,000/215,000] + $2

= $17 + $2

= $19 per hour

2. Manufacturing cost of job P90

Direct materials

$1,610

Direct labor cost

$1,155

Overhead 82 machine hours × $19

$1,558

Total cost

$4,323

You have decided to invest $15,000 in a money market fund that pays you interest at the annual rate of 6% and compounds interests monthly. Your plan is to take out your money in a year and pay taxes on the interest earned. If the corresponding tax rate is 20%, how much money in total will you expect to receive in a year after paying taxes.

Answers

Answer:

$15,869.66

Explanation:

The formula for determining the future value of the amount invested is :

FV = PV x (1 + r / m)^mn

FV = Future value  

PV = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

$15,000 x (1+ 0.06/12)^12 = $15,925.17

Interest earned = future value - present value

$15,925.17 - $15,000 = $925.17

Tax paid on interest earned = 0.06 x  $925.17 = $55.51

Interest after taxes = $925.17 - $55.51 = $869.66

Total amount expected = $15,000 + $869.66 = $15,869.66

A. 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
B. 6 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
C. 8 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
D. 8 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

a budget constraint is the total amount of goods and services an individual can buy given the price of the products and the income of the consumer.

Sue is constrained by her income. Thus, she must spend within $48

The equation for this is :

$5H + $3B = $48

where  

H = hot dogs

B = Hot dog buns

(5 x 6 ) + (3 x 6 ) = $48

Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result

Answers

,Answer:

-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.

Explanation:

Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.

In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.

So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.

However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.

He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred

Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway

Answers

Answer:

Beth should not hire the applicant.

Explanation:

Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.

On October 30, received a check from Houtte for 90 days' interest on the debt securities in transaction a

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

On Aug 1

Short­-term investments $70,000  

        To Cash $70,000

(Being the short term investment is recorded)

Here short term investment is debited as it increased the asset and credited the cash as it decreased the asset

On Oct 30

Cash ($70,000 × 11% × 90 days ÷ 360 days) 1,925  

       To Interest revenue $1,925

(Being the interest revenue is recorded)

here cash is debited as it increased the asset and credited the interest revenue as it also increased the revenue

Here we assume 360 days in a year

Suppose that a task in a project has the following time estimates: to optimistic completion time 11 weeks tm most likely completion time 14 weeks tp pessimistic completion time 23 weeks Compute the expected task variance. The task expected task variance is weeks. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

6 weeks

Explanation:

Optimistic Completion Time  -  11 weeks

Most likely completion time   -   14 weeks

Pessimistic completion time   -   23 weeks

Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.

Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.

First,

the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks

Second,

the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks

The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2  = 6 weeks

So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.

Answers

Answer: $16,613

Explanation:

As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.

The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate

= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%

= $19,738

This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.

= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²

= $16,613

A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______

a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.

Answers

Answer:

a. $10,003.

Explanation:

The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.

Calculate total invoice value

Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550

As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed

Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187

Now the Amount paid

Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003

Don James purchased a new automobile for $21,000. Don made a cash down payment of $5,250 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in 30 monthly installments, beginning one month from the date of purchase. Financing is available at a 24% annual interest rate.

Required:
Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment.

Answers

Answer:

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

Explanation:

given data

Cost of auto = $21000

Cash Down payment = $5250

Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250

loan amount = $15,750

time period  = 30 monthly

Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm

solution

we get here monthly payment that is express as

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex]      ...................1

put here value and we get

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]

solve it we get

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

Suppose that a consumer has an initial endowment of 48.00 eggs. He is able to sell these eggs freely on the market for $1.00 per egg, but has no other income. However, he still demands some eggs himself. His demand is given by the following equation:
x1 = 16.00+ m/4p1
The price for eggs increases to $2.00 per egg. Calculate this consumer's endowment income effect.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the consumer's endowment income effect is as follows:

But before that following calculations must be done

Beginning value of the endowment,

m = 48 × 1

= 48

Now New value of endowment,

m' = 48 × new price

= 48 × 2

= 96

so,

Consumer's endowment income effect is

= x1(p1', m') - x1(p1', m)

= 28 - 22

= 6 eggs.

Working notes:

(x1(p1', m') is

= 16 + (96 ÷ 4 × 2)

= 16 + (96 ÷ 8)

= 16 + 12

= 28

And, x1(p1', m) is

= 16 + (48 ÷ 4 × 2)

= 16 + (48 ÷ 8)

= 16 + 6

= 22

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest

Answers

Answer:

$2,810,467

Explanation:

we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies

first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286

then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value

PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700

PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767

total enterprise value = $2,810,467

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour

Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour

B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Explanation:

A. Computation of labor productivity under each system

Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers

Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour

Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers

Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers

Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour

B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Melissa is an unmarried person who earns a salary of $54,000 per year and has $500 of interest income. Her itemized deductions total $2,500. She is able to use a non-refundable credit of $400. She has $5,000 of federal income taxes withheld from her wages. What is the amount of Melissa's REFUND OR TAX DUE FOR 2020

Answers

Answer:

$6150

Explanation:

These are the details of Melissa's income

Salary = $54000

Interest income = 500

Itemized deductions = $ 2500

Non refundable credit = $400

Withheld federal income tax = $5000

We have to calculate the amount of her tax return for year 2020

Taxable income = 54000+500-2500

= $52500

Tax rate 22%

Tax on taxable income = 52500x0.22

= 11550

Minus non refundable credit = 11550-400

Minus federal tax withheld = 11550-400-5000

= $6150

Answer:

When telling a friend about your new job, how would you describe this company’s operations?

Neither effective nor efficient

Explanation:

The company's operations will be considered effective if they achieve objectives.  But they do not produce the desired results because drivers often get the wrong addresses, making freights not to arrive at their destinations.  Similarly, the company's operations cannot be described as efficient because trucks go out half full with wrong addresses.  This is a waste of time, money, and efforts, and the performance competence of the company is questionable.  Efficient operations accomplish results with the least amount of resources.  Effective operations achieve desired results successfully.

1. Calculation for What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020

Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020=$10,000/ 10%

Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 = $100,000

Therefore the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 will be $100,000

2. Preparation of the journal entry that Johnson should record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021

2021

Dr Bad debt expense $34,970

Cr Allowance for uncollectible account $34,970

(10%*$166,700 + $18,300)

3. Calculation to Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021

2021 Accounts receivable written off = $10,000 - (-$18,300)

2021 Accounts receivable written off= $28,300

Therefore the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 will be $28,300

4. In a situation where Johnson used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021 will be $28,300 calculated as : [$10,000 - (-$18,300) ]

=$28,300

Therefore the Bad debt expense under direct write off method will be $28,300

Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium
*Fill in the blanks please :) *
Suppose Paolo and Sharon are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Paolo chooses Right and Sharon chooses Right, Paolo will receive a payoff of 5 and Sharon will receive a payoff of 4.
The only dominant strategy in this game is for _________ to choose __________.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses __________ and Sharon chooses _______.

Question Completion:

Matrix payoff:

                                              Sharon

                                  Left              Right

Paolo     Left              8,  3             4,   4

              Right           5,  3             5,   4

Answer:

The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.

The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.

Explanation:

a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is.  In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.

b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.

A firm with a net income of $30,000 and weighted average actual shares outstanding of 15,000 for the year also had the following two securities outstanding the entire year: (1) 2,000 options to purchase one share of stock for $12 per share. The average share price during the year was $20, (2) cumulative convertible preferred stock with an annual dividend commitment of $4,500. Total common shares issued on conversion are 2,900. Compute diluted EPS for this firm.

Answers

Answer:

$1.68

Explanation:

Diluted EPS = Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders ÷ Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights

where,

Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders = $30,000

and

Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights

Weighted average actual shares outstanding    = 15,000

Plus Potential voting rights of 2,000 options      =          1

Plus Potential voting right of  preferred stock     = 2,900

Total                                                                        = 17,901

therefore,

Diluted EPS = $30,000 ÷ 17,901

                    = $1.68

During a meeting with a potential customer, you are asked to explain the difference between two different types of systems that your company is developing. Although you feel confident that you correctly explained the systems, after the meeting you realize that you inadvertently confused some of the characteristics, and partly described a third system that the customer had not even asked about. The systems are still prototypes and there is no publicly available information about them, so it is unlikely that the potential customer will realize that you confused the systems and are not up-to-date on your company's products. What should you do?

Answers

Answer:

First, update your knowledge of the company's product (especially at this development stage).  The purpose is for a demonstration of general knowledge and not for you to provide all the technical details to the potential customers.  So, try to stick to the claims about the product's performance and not the details.

Secondarily, request for the documentation of research and development activities.  This will provide some literature for the sales and marketing efforts to be effective.  Study the available data about the product development, customer requirements, and lifecycle.

Explanation:

In marketing newly developed products, the marketing personnel should bear in mind that effective communication of value to the potential customers is what is required at the initial stage, without too much details.  The effort should be to convince customers of the value of the products under development.
