Answer:
1. No, the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management.
2. The minimum transfer price that the Molding Division will accept is $37.
3. Mutually beneficial transfer price = $38.00
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the requirements are missing. The requirements are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:
Required:
1. Should the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management?
2. Determine the minimum transfer price that it will accept.
3. Determine the mutually beneficial transfer price so that the two divisions equally split the profits from the transfer. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Note: Since it is assumed that the Molding Division has excess capacity, the relevant cost to consider whether or not to accept is the variable cost per unit. The fixed cost per unit is not relevant as it will be incurred whether or not the transfer is accepted.
We can now proceed as follows:
1. Should the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management?
No, the Molding Division accept the $33 transfer price proposed by management. This is because it is lower than the variable cost per unit of $37 for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division.
2. Determine the minimum transfer price that it will accept.
The minimum transfer price that the Molding Division will accept is $37. This is equal to the variable cost per unit of $37 for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division.
3. Determine the mutually beneficial transfer price so that the two divisions equally split the profits from the transfer. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
This can be determined as follows:
Profit per unit from selling to external customers = Selling price per unit to external customers - Variable cost per unit for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division = $39 - $37 = $2.00
Mutually beneficial transfer price = Variable cost per unit for casing from a specific blend of plastics required by the Assembly Division + (Profit per unit from selling to external customers / 2) = $37 + ($2 / 2) = $38.00
Consider the following account starting balances and transactions involving these accounts. Use T-accounts to record the starting balances and the offsetting entries for the transactions. The starting balance of Cash is $9,100 The starting balance of Inventory is $4,800 The starting balance of Retained Earnings is $24,700 1. Sell product for $30 in cash with historical cost of $24 2. Sell, deliver, and receive payment of $40 for service 3. Consume good or service and pay expense of $2 What is the final amount in Retained Earnings
Answer: $24,744
Explanation:
Final amount in retained earnings;
= Starting balance + Net income
Net income:
= Sales - Cost of good sold + Service revenue - Expense
= 30 - 24 + 40 - 2
= $44
Final amount in retained earnings:
= 24,700 + 44
= $24,744
Hart Corporation owns machinery with a book value of $600,000. It is estimated that the machinery will generate future cash flows of $570,000. The machinery has a fair value of $420,000. Hart should recognize a loss on impairment of
Answer: $180,000
Explanation:
An asset is said to be impaired when the future cashflows that it will bring in are less than the book value and when the fair value of the asset is also less than the book value.
Impairment loss = Book value of asset - Fair value
= 600,000 - 420,000
= $180,000
Binford Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 58%, and its fixed monthly expenses are $94,000. Assume that the company's sales for May are expected to be $178,000.
Required:
Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.
Answer:
$9,240
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change
Using this formula
Net operating income = (CM ratio × Sales) - Fixed expenses
Let plug in the formula
Net operating income= (0.58× $178,000) - $94,000
Net operating income= $103,240 - $94,000
Net operating income= $9,240
Therefore the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change is $9,240

In a job order costing system: Select one: A. Each department accumulates costs and then allocates them to all units produced. B. The processes involved in manufacturing products are essentially identical for all products. C. Production generally happens in a "continual flow". D. The end products are relatively homogenous. E. None of the above
Answer:
The correct answer is the option E: None of the above.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the field of business management and accounting the concept known as "Job Order Costing" refers specifically to the system that the managers of a company use in order to establish a better organization when it comes to terms of costing and due to the fact that they tend to be organizations that elaborate products that differ from each other regarding the materials they need to be produced properly. So therefore that this method focuses in the fact the company needs to calculate every cost the best possible for every different product that needs different tasks and jobs.

Several years ago, Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world. This market was not perfectly competitive because this situation violated the:
Answer:
price-taking assumption.
free entry assumption.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market is one in which different firms compete for consumers of their products. The characteristics of the perfectly competitive market are:
- products are nearly identical
- all the firms are price takers. That is they are not able to determine price independently
- buyer knowledge of information about products is perfect and available to all
- free entry and exit to the market
- resources are perfectly mobile
In the given scenario above two of these rules are not obeyed.
Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world.
So they determine the price ( they are not price takers)
Also since they own nearly all the aluminium reserves there is no free entry for new firms

Supervisor: In general, half of all customers you speak to will ask about any upcoming pricing discounts or promotions. Of those who do ask, only 20% qualify for the discount. Employee: So that means if I speak to 300 customers, __________ will qualify for the discount.
Answer: 30 people
Explanation:
In general, only half of those spoken to will ask about upcoming discounts so out of 300, the number that will ask for discounts is:
= 300 / 2
= 150 people
Out of these 150 people who ask about upcoming discounts, only 20% will qualify. The number that will qualify is:
= 150 * 20%
= 30 people

$341,333
Answer:
$512,000
Explanation:
Because the service condition is 3 years, the total share-based payment expense will be recognized over 3 years. The expense recognized in each year is calculated as:
Year 1 = 50 options x 800 employees x 80% x $16 x 1/3 years = $170,667
Year 2 = 50 options x 800 employees x 80% x $16 x 2/3 years - $170,667 = $170,667
Year 3 = 50 options x 800 employees x 80% x $16 x 3/3 years - $170,667 x 2 = $170,667
Total share-based payment expense = $170,667 + $170,667 + $170,667 = $512,000

Green Corporation reported pretax book income of $1,040,000. During the current year, the net reserve for warranties increased by $52,000. In addition, tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $110,000. Finally, Green subtracted a dividends received deduction of $26,000 in computing its current-year taxable income. Green's cash tax rate is
Answer:
19.30%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Green's cash tax rate is
First step is to calculate the Taxes payable using this formula
Taxes payable = (Pretax book income + provision for warranties - depreciation in excess of books - dividends received deduction) x 21%
Let plug in the formula
Taxes payable= ($1,040,000 + $52,000 - $110,000 - $26,000) x 21%
Taxes payable=$956,000×21%
Taxes payable= $200,760
Now let determine the Cash tax rate using this formula
Cash tax rate = Taxes payable / Pretax book income
Let Plug in the formula
Cash tax rate = $200,760 / $1,040,000
Cash tax rate = .1930
Cash tax rate=19.30%
Therefore Green's cash tax rate is 19.30%

Using the high-low method, the fixed cost is calculated ______. Multiple select question. by adding the total cost to the variable cost using either the high or low level of activity before the variable cost is calculated after the variable cost per unit is calculated
Answer:
is calculated after the variable cost per unit is calculated
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, fixed cost can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, rent, insurance, lease, utilities, etc.
On the other hand, variable costs can be defined as expenses that are not constant and as such usually change directly and are proportional to various changes in business activities. Some examples of variable costs are taxes, direct labor, sales commissions, raw materials, operational expenses, etc.
Using the high-low method, the fixed cost can only be calculated after the variable cost (VC) per unit is calculated through the application of either the low or high level of activity.
Using the high-low method, the fixed cost is calculated : After the variable cost per unit is calculated.
What is costing?Costing refers to the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services whereby, the fixed costs and variable costs associated with production are examined.
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with the level of output, while variable cost are cost that varies with the activity level.
Using the high-low method, the fixed cost can only be calculated after the variable cost (VC) per unit is calculated through the application of either the low or high level of activity.
Hence, using the high-low method, the fixed cost is calculated after the variable cost per unit is calculated.

The Northern Division of Southwest Clothing Inc. forecasts (has budgeted) the following income statement for the upcoming year: Sales $850,000 Variable Costs (520,000) Contribution Margin 330,000 Fixed Costs (480,000) Operating loss ($150,000) Unfortunately, every other division in the company is also expecting an operating loss for the coming year. The company's management is considering shutting down the Northern Division and has determined that $350,000 of the $480,000 Fixed Costs shown would be eliminated if that happens. If the Northern Division is shutdown, what is the change (impact) in Southwest's forecast operating results
Answer:
Operating loss will decrease by $20,000
Explanation:
Operating loss from normal business activities and if the division is not shut down = $150,000.
Operating loss if division is shut down by the management = $130,000 ($480,000 - $350,000) because the management has determined that $350,000 of the $480,000 Fixed Costs shown would be eliminated if that happens.
So, if the Northern Division is shutdown, the Operating loss will decrease by $20,000 (From $150,000 to $130,000)
