Please EXPLAIN answer for a thumps-up. I'm tried of wrong answers, please don't answer it unless you are 100% sure.
Answer:
A. The correct option is b. $46,067.
B. The correct option is d. $46,620.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
A. Assuming that Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part A of the attached excel file for the calculation of the of units and cost of goods available for sale.
Since Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, this implies that this is a periodic inventory system. And update to inventory in a periodic inventory system are made on a regular basis, such as monthly, quarterly, etc.
From the part A attached excel file, we have:
Units of goods available for sale = 23,100
Cost of goods available for sales = $236,481
Weighted-average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sales / Units of goods available for sale = $236,481 / 23,100 = $10.2372727272727
Inventory at January 31 = Units of inventory balance at January 31 * Weighted-average cost per unit = 4,500 * $10.2372727272727 = $46,068
From the options the closest one is b. $46,067. Therefore, the inventory at January 31 is $46,067 and the correct option is b. $46,067.
B. Assuming that Rich maintains perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the moving-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part B of the attached excel file for the calculation of the inventory at January 31 (in bold red color).
Under Perpetual Inventory system, the inventory is updated whenever a purchase or sale is made. It's a procedure that happens in real time.
In the Part B of the attached excel file, the following rates in light red color are made as follows:
Rate on January 6 = ($87,930 + $61,800) / 15,000 = $9.98 per unit
Rate on January 26 = ($74,865 + 86,751) / 15,600 = $10.36 per unit
From the part B attached excel file, we have:
Inventory at January 31 = $46,620.
Therefore, the correct option is d. $46,620.
Assume that Nortel manufactures specialty electronic circuitry through a unique photoelectronic process. One of the primary products, Model ZX40, has a standard labor time of 0.5 hour and a standard labor rate of $12.50 per hour. During February, the following activities pertaining to direct labor for ZX40 were recorded:
Direct labor hours used 2,230
Direct labor cost $34,000
Units of ZX40 manufactured 4,800
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate variance.
b. Determine the labor efficiency variance.
c. Determine the total flexible budget labor cost variance.
Answer:
A = $6,125
B = $2,125
C = $6,125
Explanation:
Standard Labor Time = 0.5 hours, Standard Labor rate = $12.50 per hour, Standard Time = 4800 * 0.5hour P U = 2400 hours
Actual labor time used = 2,230, Direct labor Cost = $34,000 per hour =$15.25 , Units manufactured = 4,800
(a) Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - standard cost of Actual Hours = $34,000 - ($12.50 * 2230) = $34,000 - $27,875 = $6,125 Favorable
(b) Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Cost of Actual Hours - Standard Cost = (2,230 * 12.50) - (12.50 * 2400) = $27,875 - $30,000 = $2,125 Unfavorable
(c) Flexible budget labor cost variance = Flexible Budget cost - Actual Cost = (Actual qty * Std Rate) - (Actual qty - Actual Rate) = (2,230 * $12.50) - $34,000 = $27,875 - $34,000 = $6,125 Unfavorable
Early in the year,manager John Jacobs set reasonable,understandable,and measurable performance standards and communicated these standards clearly to all team members.Because of these efforts,he should be prepared for the next step in the appraisal process. The first two steps in performance appraisal are establishing performance standards and communicating them to subordinates.The third step is to evaluate performance,and if the first two steps are done correctly,this step is relatively easy.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
Performance evaluation of an employee should be based on his performance. He should be communicated with expected performance and then analysis should be done against standard and actual performance. When John Jacob has set performance standards and clearly communicates it to all team members the appraisal process would be relatively easy.
Equipment acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $30,800 has an estimated residual value of $2,800 and an estimated useful life of four years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3
Answer:
$28000
25%
$7000
Explanation:
Depreciable cost = cost of the asset - residual value
$30,800 - $2800 = $28,000
The straight-line rate = annual depreciation expense / Depreciable cost
7000 / 28,000 x 100 = 25%
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$28,000 / 4 = $7000

Which of the following non-GAAP disclosures is LEAST LIKELY to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income:
a. Goodwill impairment
b. Inventory write down
c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary
d. Gain on sale of an asset
Answer: c. Currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.
Explanation:
GAAP refers to the industry standard and it gives a clear view of the operations of a business from a financial point of view. On the other hand, the non-GAAP disclosure deviates from the industry standard and in such case, adjustments are made to show company's operations.
The non-GAAP disclosures which is least likely to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income is the currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.
XYZ Tile Installation Corporation measures its activity in terms of square feet of tile installed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 1,180 square feet and the actual level of activity was 1,270 square feet. The company's owner budgets for supply costs, a variable cost, at $3.50 per square foot. The actual supply cost last month was $4,980. What would have been the spending variance for supply costs
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$535 U". A further explanation is described below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Actual level of activity,
= 1270
Budgeted variable cost,
= $3.50
Actual supply cost,
= $4980
Now,
The spending variance for supply costs will be:
= [tex](Actual \ level \ of \ activity\times Budgeted \ variable \ cost)\times Actual \ supply \ cost[/tex]
= [tex](1270\times 3.50)-4980[/tex]
= [tex]4445-4980[/tex]
= [tex]535[/tex] (unfavorable)
Standard and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 1,000 units of product were as follows:
Actual costs 1,550 lbs. at $9.10
Standard costs 1,600 lbs. at $9.00
Determine the (a) quantity variance, (b) price variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance. Enter favorable variances as negative numbers.
a. Quantity variance $______
b. Price variance $______
c. Total direct materials cost variance
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a.
Materials quantity variance is
= (Actual quantity used × Standard price) - (Standard quantity allowed × Standard Price)]
= (1550 × 9.00) - (1600 × 9.00)
= $(450.00)
= $450 favorable
b.
Direct materials price variance is
Materials Price Variance = (Actual quantity purchased × Actual price) - (Actual quantity purchased × Standard price)
= (1550 × 9.10) - (1550 ×$9.00)
= $155
= $155 unfavorable
c.
Total direct materials cost variance is
= Materials quantity variance + Direct materials price variance
= -$450 + $155
= -$295
= $295 Favorable
Zebra Company sells a segment of its operations at a loss. Zebra has not previously experienced such an event and does not expect to again. The loss from the disposal of the segment should be reported in the income statement as: Select one: A. A separate amount in comprehensive income B. A separate amount in net income from continuing operations C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section D. As part of cost of goods sold
Answer:
C. A separate amount in a discontinued operations section
Explanation:
Since in the given situation it is mentioned that zebra co sells the segment at a loss so this loss from the sale of the segment that should be reported in the income statement as the distinct amount in the discontinued operating section as the same below the income from continuing operations
Hence, the correct option is c.
Answer:
The answer is "Option C".
Explanation:
The discontinued operations are parts of a company's core business or product line that have been sold or shut down and thus are reported separately on the financial statements from ongoing operations. As a result, any loss from the sale of the segment should indeed be reported as a separate amount inside the income statement's discontinued operations column.
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP GDP Deflator (Dollars) (Base year 2016, dollars) 2016 2017 2018 From 2017 to 2018, nominal GDP , and real GDP. The inflation rate in 2018 was.
Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?
Answer:
Explanation:
The Real GDP is defined as the Nominal GDP minus the inflation effect.
Real GDP provides a more accurate picture of economic growth than nominal GDP because it uses constant prices, making comparisons between years more meaningful by allowing for comparisons of the actual volume of goods and services without considering inflation.
Let's say you bought apples at 5dollars per pound in 2015. Imagining a country of 1000 people and considering everyone bought a pound apples and only apples in that year, the GDP comes out to be 1000*5 = 5000 dollars.
Now let's say inflation rate is 10 percent in 2016 which will increase the price to 5.5 dollars per pound. Also, in one year, 10 more people were added to the country (No of births - No of deaths = New people in that year), this brings out total population to around 1010.
Also, let's say that the sale of apples remained the same, so the GDP of 2016 comes out to be 1000*5.5 = 5500 dollars.
That's a whooping 10% increase in GDP, right?
But here the catch.
The GDP increased not because the demand increased, but because the price of the good increased.
If we see at previous year's price (Not considering the inflation, also called Real GDP), the GDP is same which is 5000 dollars.
So, in reality, there isn't any increase in GDP.
The following information was taken from Charu Company's balance sheet: Fixed assets (net) $860,000 Long-term liabilities 200,000 Total liabilities 600,000 Total stockholders’ equity 250,000 Determine the company's (a) ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities and (b) ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity. If required, round your answers to one decimal place. a. Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities fill in the blank 1 b. Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity
Answer:
A. 4.3
B. 2.4
Explanation:
(a) Calculation to determine ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities
Using this formula
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities =Fixed assets (net)/Long-term liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities= $860,000 /$200,000
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities=4.3
Therefore Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities is 4.3
(b) Calculation to determine ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity
Using this formula
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity=Liabilities/Total stockholders’ equity
Let plug in the formula
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity=$600,000 /$250,000
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity=2.4
Therefore ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity is 2.4
An example of a good that is excludable is: _________
a) an outdoor sculpture visible from the street.
b) a television set.
c) broadcast television.
d) an aerial fireworks display.
Answer:
b) a television set
Explanation:
Excludable goods can be regarded as a s private goods, unlike non-excludable goods which are public goods. Instance of this is that
everyone can utilize public road, but going to cinema cannot be for everyone the way they please, this is because, ticket need to be bought to get access, as ticket is bought, this can excludes somebody else since there is because limited seat. It should be noted that good can be regarded as a excludable, in situation whereby supplier of that good successfully prevent individual that do not pay from consuming it. An example of a good that is excludable is television set
If a court determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing, a. the manager is automatically personally liable to the corporation. b. the transaction being challenged will be automatically voided. c. the manager will automatically be fired. d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Answer:
d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.
Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.
In Business management, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing i.e putting his or her own interests first, the business judgment rule will not apply.
Generally, in order for the business judgement rule to apply, it is expected or required that a manager should act in the best interest of a corporation.
What is the present value of a 10-year annuity of $3,000 per period in which payments come at the beginning of each period
Answer: $18984.9
Explanation:
Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the interest rate. Let's assume that the interest rate is 12%.
Therefore, the present value will be:
= 3000 + 3000[1 - (1 + 0.12)^-10+1] / 0.12
= 3000 + (3000 × 5.3283)
= 3000 + 15984.9
= 18984.9
Therefore, the present value is $18984.9
Total assets were $78,000 and total liabilities were $42,000 at the beginning of the year. Net income for the year was $15,500, and dividends of $5,000 were declared and paid during the year.
Required:
Calculate total stockholders' equity at the end of the year.
Answer:
$46,500
Explanation:
Accounting equation is stated as :
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
therefore,
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Equity at Beginning of the Period :
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
= $78,000 - $42,000
= $36,000
Equity at end of the Period
Closing Equity Balance = Opening Balance + Net Income - Dividends
= $36,000 + $15,500 - $5,000
= $46,500

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,500,000 and can be sold for $715,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Hint: 1. Find the remaining book value at the end. 2. Subtract this from the expected sale price to find the gain on sale. 3. Apply the tax rate to this gain to find the taxes owed. 4. The after-tax salvage value is the sale price minus the taxes.
a) $715,000.
b) $752,468.
c) $540,444.
d) $677,532.
e) $471,900.
Answer:
d) $677,532.
Explanation:
1.
Written down value of the equipment after 4 years = Cost x ( 100% - 1st year MACRS - Second-year MACRS - Third-year MACRS - Fourth-year MACRS ) = $3,500,000 x ( 100% - 20% - 32% - 19.20% - 11.52% ) = $604,800
2.
Now calculate the gain on the sale of equipment
Gain on the sale of equipment = Sale Price - Written down Value after 4 years = $715,000 - $604,800 = $110,200
3.
Tax owed = Gain on the sale x Tax rate = $110,200 x 34% = $37,468
After-tax salvage value = Sales price - Tax = $715,000 - $37,468 = $677,532

Explanation:
The future value of an ordinary annuity formula is applicable in this case, since an ordinary annuity is such that payments into the accounts are expected to occur at the end of the periods rather than at the beginning of each year:
FV=yearly payment*(1+r)^n-1/r
yearly payment=$3,000
r=13%
n=number of annual payments =30
FV=$3000*(1+13%)^30-1/13%
FV=$3000*(1.13)^30-1/0.13
FV=$3000*(39.11589796-1)/0.13
FV=$3000*38.11589796/0.13
FV=$879,597.65

Consider a telephone call to London that currently would cost $5. If the real price of telephone calls does not change in the future, how much will it cost you to make a call to London in 50 years if the inflation rate is 5% (roughly its average over the past 30 years)? What if inflation is 10%.
Answer:
If inflation were 5%, the value of the call in 50 years would be $ 57.33; while if inflation were 10% the value of the call would be $ 586.95.
Explanation:
Given that a telephone call to London that currently would cost $ 5, to determine, if the real price of telephone calls does not change in the future, how much will it cost you to make a call to London in 50 years if the inflation rate is 5% and if inflation is 10%, the following calculations must be made:
5 x 1.05 ^ 50 = X
5 x 11.4674 = X
57.33 = X
5 x 1.1 ^ 50 = X
5 x 117.39 = X
586.95 = X
Therefore, if inflation were 5%, the value of the call in 50 years would be $ 57.33; while if inflation were 10% the value of the call would be $ 586.95.
