A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $348,400 and direct labor hours would be 47,000. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $304,000, and actual direct labor hours were 52,400. The journal entry to apply the factory overhead costs for the year would include a
Answer:
Journal Entry
Debit Work-in-Process $388,284
Credit Manufacturing Overhead $388,284
To record the application of factory overhead costs for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated factory overhead costs = $348,400
Estimated direct labor hours = 47,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $7.41 ($348,400/47,000)
Actual overhead costs = $304,000
Actual direct labor hours = 52,400
Applied overhead costs = $388,284 (52,400 * $7.41)
b) The overhead applied to the production for the year will be the actual direct labor hours by the predetermined overhead rate. This yields a cost that is greater than the actual overhead costs, which means that the manufacturing overhead was overapplied. The cause of this situation is the number of actual direct labor hours worked vis-a-vis the actual overhead costs and the predetermined rate.
Pab Corporation decided to establish Sollon Company as a wholly owned subsidiary by transferring some of its existing assets and liabilities to the new entity. In exchange, Sollon issued Pab 30,000 shares of $6 par value common stock. The following information is provided on the assets and accounts payable transferred:
Cost Book Value Fair Value
Cash $44,000 $44,000 $44,000
Inventory 76,000 76,000 76,000
Land 79,000 79,000 109,000
Buildings 175,000 134,000 249,000
Equipment 90,000 76,000 121,000
Accounts Payable 63,000 63,000 63,000
Required:
Prepare the journal entry that Pab recorded for the transfer of assets and accounts payable to Sollon.
Answer:
Debit : Cash $44,000
Debit : Inventory $76,000
Debit : Land $109,000
Debit : Buildings $249,000
Debit : Equipment $121,000
Credit : Accounts Payable $63,000
Credit : Shares (30,000 x $6) $180,000
Credit ; Gain on Bargain Purchase $356,000
Explanation:
Assets and liabilities are acquired at their Fair Value Amounts instead of Cost or Book Value.
A transfer of some of the asset of a Company is referred as a Asset acquisition transaction instead of Business Combination (Acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses).
This is an asset Acquisition Transaction and no consolidated Financial Statements will be prepared.
The excess of Net Assets Acquired over the consideration is called Gain on Bargain Purchase and this amounts to $356,000.

Suppose the demand function for good X is given by: where is the quantity demanded of good X, is the price of good X, and is the price of good Y, which is related to good X. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is constant at $10 and the price of good Y decreases from $10 to $8, the cross price elasticity of demand is about:_________
Answer:
Quantity demanded is -0.4
Explanation:
Quantity demanded is -0.4 if the prices decline from $8 to $10. The cross price elasticity is the change in quantity demanded for the goods when the price of other goods changes. The price change can be minor and the quantity demanded change can be high.

Explanation:
B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage
Answer:
Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.
Data Missing:
Buying Cost of House = $320000
Interest rate = 7%
Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.
Solution:
Data Given:
Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%
So,
Formula:
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
Where,
P = Buying Cost of House = $320000
i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07
A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05
C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.
n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.
So,
$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]
Taking 25525.8 common,
320000 = 25525.8 ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
320000/25525.8 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
Taking e common:
12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]
Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:
n = 17.89
n ≈ 18
n = 18 years
Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.
Answer:
C. 60%
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00
Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00
Units started and completed = 6,500.00
Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).
Let % Completion be x
X% of 1500 = 900
X = 900*100/1500
X = 60%.
Sunland Company, has 14700 shares of 4%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 60200 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $113000 dividend in 2020 and in 2021. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021
Answer:
2021 Common Stockholders dividends = $49,600
Explanation:
Preference Shareholders are always paid their dividends first before Common Stockholders. If dividend is not declared, Preference dividends are cumulated to the next period and are due !
2019
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = 14700 x $100 x 4% = $58,800
Common Stockholders dividends = $ 0
2020
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = $58,800 (2019) + $54,200 (2020)
Common Stockholders dividends = $0
2021
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = $4,600 (2020 arrears) + $58,800 (2021) = $63,400
Common Stockholders dividends = $113,000 - $63,400 = $49,600

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.)
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.
Your family is expanding in number, and so you decide to sell your current home and upgrade to a larger home. You estimate that you can sell your current home for $100,000 and can buy a larger home for $475,000. You plan to use the entire $100,000 sale proceeds as a down payment on the new home and will finance the remainder for 15 years at 4% nominal annual interest compounded monthly. What is your estimated monthly mortgage payment
Answer:
The Estimated Monthly Mortgage Payment
= $2,810.81
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
House price = $475,000
Down payment = $100,000
Percentage of down payment = 21.05% ($100,000/$475,000 * 100)
Finance period = 15 years = 180 months (15 * 12)
Nominal annual interest compounded monthly = 4%
The estimated monthly mortgage payment using an online finance calculator:
Monthly Pay: $2,810.81
House Price $475,000.00
Loan Amount $380,000.00
Down Payment $95,000.00
Total of 180 Mortgage Payments $505,946.54

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
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.

Explanation:
The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Use this information to answer the following questions.
Beginning inventory 10 units at $55
First purchase 25 units at $60
Second purchase 30 units at $65
Third purchase 15 units at $70
The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold.
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is:________
a. $1,350
b. $1,150
c. $1,375
d. $1,250
Answer:
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is $1,375
Explanation:
Under FIFO the items of inventory purchases earlier will be sold first and the items purchased later will be sold at last.
First, we need to calculate the total available inventory units
Numbers of units available to sale = Beginning Inventory + First purchase + Second purchase + Third purchase = 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units = 80 units
Now 60 units out of 80 are sold the remaining 20 units ( 80 units - 60 units ) will be in the ending inventory.
As per FIFO 20 units will be values as per the last 20 units purchases which will be as follow
Ending Invetory = ( 15 units x $70 ) + ( (20-15) units x $65 ) = $1,375
Elliot, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 20,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $10.50 per hour. When activity jumped to 24,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $9.75. On the basis of this information, the company's fixed maintenance costs were:
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
At the activity level of 20,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=20,000* $10.50=$210,000
At the activity level of 24,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=24,000*$9.75=$234,000
variable maintenance cost per hour=(total maintenance costs at higher activity level-total maintenance costs at lower activity level)/(higher activity level-lower activity level)
variable maintenance cost per hour=($234,000-$210,000)/(24000-20000)
variable maintenance cost per unit=$6
Using the higher activity level data:
total cost=fixed cost+(variable maintenance cost per unit*number of hours)
$234,000=fixed cost+($6*24000)
234,000=fixed cost+$144,000
fixed cost=$234,000-$144,000
fixed cost=$90,000

Raymond Moss, vice president of Moss Auto Parts, gets an annual bonus of 15% of any income, before deducting bonus and income taxes, above $100,000. Income before bonus and income taxes is $250,000. The effective income tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Compute the amount of Raymond Moss's bonus. Bonus
Answer:
$22,500
Explanation:
Raymond Moss's bonus is computed as the excess of $100,000 of income before bonus and income taxes.
In other words, the income before bonus and income taxes of $250,000 minus $100,000 is the amount upon which the bonus is computed.
Bonus=excess of income before bonus and income taxes*rate of bonus
income before bonus and income taxes.=$250,000-$100,000
income before bonus and income taxes.=$150,000
bonus rate=15%
Bonus=$150,000*15%
Bonus=$22,500
Adriana and Belen are partners who share income in the ratio of 3:2 and have capital balances of $50,000 and $90,000 at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $90,000. How much cash should be distributed to Adriana
Answer:
$54,000
Explanation:
First, we add the ratios together to determine the total parts:
3+2= 5
Next, we divide the cash balance of $90,000 by the total parts:
$90,000/5 = $18,000
To find the amount of cash distributed to Adriana we multiply by her ratio:
5*18,000 = $54,000.
QUESTION 9 of 10: You bid $111 per room per night for 40 guests for one night. The meeting planner says you've got the business If you
can come down 10% on the bid. What new total bld will win the business?
Answer:
$3,996.00
Explanation:
The current bid represents 100%. the total for this bid is below
=$111 x 40 rooms
=$4,440.00
The new bid should be 10% less than the original bid. in other words, the new bid is 90% of the original bid
=90% of $4,440.00
=90/100 x $4,440.00
=0.9 x $4,440
=$3,996.00

For Evaluating the effects of integrating purchasing, production, marketing, and distribution into a single system - Plant foreman
For Estimating increase in sales from higher customer satisfaction - Marketing director
For Estimate benefits and costs - All team members
Explanation:
a.)
If the ERP installation succeeds , the dollar amount of the benefit is as follows :
From more efficient order processing savings = $105,000
From streamlining the manufacturing process savings = $125,000
From reduce inventories savings = $225,000
From increased sales profit = $155,000
⇒Total benefit = $ 105,000 + 125,000 + 225,000 + 155,000
= $610,000
⇒Total benefit if the ERP installation succeeds = $610,000
b.)
Firstly check the Costs for installation of ERP:
Software cost = $435,000
Customizing ERP and loading data cost = $95,000
Employee training cost = $105,000
⇒Total cost = $ 435,000 + 95,000 + 105,000
= $635,000
⇒Total cost = $635,000
Now,
As we have
Total Benefit in installation of ERP = $610,000
Total cost in installation of ERP = $635,000
⇒Net benefit = $610,000 - $635,000 = -$ (25,000)
∴ we get
If Aqua Marine install the ERP system , them they face loss.
So, They should not install the ERP system.

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.
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
Assume Italy and Chad can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries. Each farmer in Italy can produce 10 t of grain or 5 t of dates in a season. Each farmer in Chad can also produce 10 t of grain or 25 t of dates.
1. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
2. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
3. Which country has the competitive advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
4. Which country has the comparative advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
Answer:
chad
neither
chad
Italy
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of grain = 5/10 = 0.5t dates
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of dates = 10/5 = 2grains
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of grain = 25/10 = 2.5 dates
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of dates = 10/25 = 0.4 grains
Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of grains while Chad has a comparative advantage in the production of dates
A country has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries. Chad produces 25t of dates while Italy produces 5t of dates, this shows that Chad has an absolute advantage in the production of dates. Both Italy and Chad produces the same quantity of grains so neither have an absolute advantage in the production of grains.
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.
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
Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,350 per month interest, if they can get 7 % interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.
Answer:
(a) The amount needed is $192,000.
(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.
Explanation:
Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
This can be calculated using the following future value formula:
FV = P / i ........................... (1)
Where;
FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?
P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200
i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000
Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value = $192,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125
n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:
$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)
$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075
M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075
M = $150.98
Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.
Conrad, Inc. recently lost a portion of its records in an office fire. The following information was salvaged from the accounting records.
Cost of Goods Sold $ 65,000
Work-in-Process Inventory, Beginning 10,500
Work-in-Process Inventory, Ending 9,000
Selling and Administrative Expense 15,000
Finished Goods Inventory, Ending 15,000
Finished Goods Inventory, Beginning?
Direct Materials Used ?
Factory Overhead Applied 12,000
Operating Income 14,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 11,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured 60,000
Direct labor cost incurred during the period amounted to 1.5 times the factory overhead. The CFO of Fisher, Inc. has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and to report to him by the end of the day. What is the amount of direct materials used?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Direct materials used = Cost of goods manufactured - work in process inventory, beginning - factory overhead applied - direct labor + work in process inventory, ending
= $60,000 - $10,500 - $12,000 - (1.5 × $12,000) + $9,000

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2018. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $70,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2017 was reported as $880,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 34%.
Required:
1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2013) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2013 to record the change in accounting principle. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
1. Adjusted net income = Ending inventory higher by amount * (1-Tax rate) = $70,000*(1-34%) = $70,000 * 66% = $46,200
Details Amount
Beginning retained earnings for the year 2017 $880,000
Add: Adjusted net income $46,200
Beginning adjusted retained earnings for year 2017 $926,200
2. Tax payable = Inventory * Tax rate = $70,000*34% = $23,800
Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Inventory $70,000
Retained earnings $46,200
Tax payable $23,800

Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.
Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.
Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.
In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.
Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.
