Answer:
1. b. $42 per unit
2. a. $32 per unit
3. d. $69,200
4. b $72,600
Explanation:
1 and 2 The computation of unit productive cost using absorption costing and unit product cost using variable costing is shown below:-
Absorption Variable
Direct material $15 $15
Direct labor $5 $5
Variable manufacturing
overhead $12 $12
Fixed manufacturing
overhead $10
($20,000 ÷ 2000)
Product cost $42 $32
Therefore for computing the product cost of absorption and variable cost we simply added direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead and fixed overhead rate
3. The computation of the unit product cost using variable costing is shown below:-
Sales $180,000
Cost of goods manufactured ($756,00)
(1800 × $42)
Difference $104,400
Variable and selling
administrative ($25,200)
(1800 × $14)
Gross profit $79,200
Fixed selling and administrative
expenses ($10,000)
Net operating income $69,200
So, for computing the net operating income we simply deduct the Fixed selling and administrative expenses from gross profit.
4. The computation of operating income using variable costing is shown below:-
Sales $190,000
(1,900 × $100)
Variable cost of goods
manufactured $60,800
(1,900 × $32)
Gross contribution margin $129,200
Variable and selling administrative ($26,600)
(1900 × $14)
Net contribution margin $102,600
Fixed cost ($30,000)
Operating income $72,600
Therefore for computing the operating income using variable costing we simply deduct the fixed cost from net contribution margin.
The Brenmar Sales Company had a gross profit margin (gross profitsdivided bysales) of 26 percent and sales of $ 8.3 million last year. 78 percent of the firm's sales are on credit, and the remainder are cash sales. Brenmar's current assets equal $ 1.9 million, its current liabilities equal $ 298 comma 900, and it has $ 108 comma 800 in cash plus marketable securities. a. If Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300, what is its average collection period? b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 days, what will be its new level of accounts receivable? c. Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of Brenmar's inventories?
Answer:
a. 31.70 days
b. $266,054.79
c. $667,608.70
Explanation:
a. If Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300, what is its average collection period?
Credit sales = $8,300,000 * 78% = $6,474,000
Average collection period = (Accounts receivable / Credit sales) * 365 = ($562,300 / $6,474,000) * 365 = 31.70 days
b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 days, what will be its new level of accounts receivable?
Average Collection Period=365*Account Receivables/Credit Sales
New Account Receivables =Average Collection Period * (Credit Sales / 365) = 15 * ($6,474,000 / 365) = $266,054.79
c. Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of Brenmar's inventories?
Gross Profit = Sales * Gross Profit Margin = $8,300,000 * 26% = $2,158,000
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit = $8,300,000 - 2,158,000 = $6,142,000
Inventory = Cost of goods sold / Inventory Turnover Ratio = $6,142,000 / 9.2 = $667,608.70
The predetermined overhead rate for Zane Company is $5, comprised of a variable overhead rate of $3 and a fixed rate of $2. The amount of budgeted overhead costs at normal capacity of $150000 was divided by normal capacity of 30000 direct labor hours, to arrive at the predetermined overhead rate of $5. Actual overhead for June was $9500 variable and $6050 fixed, and standard hours allowed for the product produced in June was 3000 hours. The total overhead variance is
Answer:
Total Overhead Variance= $500 unfavorable
Explanation:
The total overhead variance is the difference between actual overhead and the applied overhead.
Actual Overhead = Variable + Fixed= $9500 + $6050= $ 15,550
Budgeted Overhead for 30000 direct labor hours = $ 150,000
Applied Overhead for 3000 hours = 3000 *$5= $15000
Total Overhead Variance= Actual Overhead Less Applied Overhead
= $15,500- $ 15000= $500 unfavorable
As actual is greater than applied it is unfavorable.
Answer:
$550 unfavorable.
Explanation:
Total actual overhead = $9,500 + $6,050 = $15,550
Total predetermined overhead = Predetermined overhead rate * Standard hours = $5 * 3,000 = $15,000
Total overhead variance = $15,550 - $15,000 = $550 unfavorable.
Note: It is unfavorable because total actual is greater than total predetermined overhead.

Wicker Rockers, Inc. is planning to offer a defined contribution plan for its employees. The company would like to incorporate a "cliff" vesting schedule for the employer contributions into the plan. What is the minimum vesting period the company can choose for a "cliff" vesting schedule
Answer:3 years
Explanation:
Cliff vesting is when an employee of a company becomes fully vested on a specified date rather than the employee becoming partially vested in increasing amounts over extended period. Cliff Vesting is a process whereby the employees are entitled to full benefits from their firm’s pension policies and qualified retirement plans on a given date.
Upon the completion of the cliff period, employees receive full benefits. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 deduced a three-year cliff vesting schedule for the designated defined-contribution plans which includes 401Ks.

Which of the following is true of a stock dividend? Multiple Choice It is a liability on the balance sheet. The decision to declare a stock dividend resides with the shareholders. Transfers a portion of equity from retained earnings to a cash reserve account. Does not affect total equity, but transfer amounts between the components of equity. Reduces a corporation's assets and stockholders' equity.
Answer:
Yes it is true that a stock dividend does not affect total equity.
Explanation:
A stock dividend is a non cash payment given to shareholders. Instead of cash, additional shares that is equivalent to the earnings that accrue is given to shareholders.
While this may increase the number of shares held, it does not affect total equity.
One of the benefits of stock dividends tax exemption and retained equity which translates to additional investment.
However, the additional; shares created could dilute the share prices.
Kevin, Rajiv, and Yakov are hunters who live next to a recreational wildlife game area that is open to hunting; in other words, anyone is free to use the recreational wildlife game area for hunting. Assume that these men are the only three hunters who hunt in this recreational wildlife game area and that the recreational wildlife game area is large enough for all three hunters to hunt intensively at the same time.
Each year, the hunters choose independently how often to hunt; specifically, they choose whether to hunt intensively (that is, to set several traps and hunt long hours, which hurts the sustainability of the recreational wildlife game area if enough people do it) or to hunt nonintensively (which does not hurt the sustainability of the recreational wildlife game area). None of them has the ability to control how much the others hunt, and each hunter cares only about his own profitability and not the state of the recreational wildlife game area.
Assume that as long as no more than one hunter hunts intensively, there are enough animals to restock the recreational wildlife game area. However, if two or more hunt intensively, the recreational wildlife game area will become useless in the future. Of course, hunting intensively earns a hunter more money and greater profit because he can sell more animals.
The recreational wildlife game area is an example of _____________ because the animals in the recreational wildlife game area are ________ and ___________.
Answer: Common resource ,
Non excludable and Rival in consumption
Explanation:
Common resource is defined as the resource that is usually available to people in open form and people tend to overuse it.This creates shortage of resource and brings scarcity.They are considered rival in nature.Any good is considered rival if consumption of good by one person reduces consumption of that good for another person. It is regarded as subtractable.Non-excludable good is defined as the good that does not stop other people or group of people to consume or use it.There is no certain restriction of using particular good.According to the questions scenario, recreational wildlife game area is common resource because Yakov, Rajiv and Kevin are using that area for hunting openly .Other hunters can also use the area for hunting as it is available commonly for everyone as per their needs.
Animal of wildlife game area can be considered rival and non-excludable in consumption because they are openly available for hunter and there is no restriction on their usage (hunting) particularly.Thus, if a hunter hunts more number of animals using intensive hunting mechanism, it will reduce number of animals for other hunters .

Answer:
Net operating income= 27,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units produced 20,000
Units sold 19,000
Selling price per unit $100.00
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $12.00
Direct labor $25.00
Variable manufacturing overhead $3.00
Variable selling and administrative $2.00
Fixed expenses per year:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $500,000
Fixed selling and administrative $600,000
Under the absorption costing method, the fixed manufacturing overhead gets included in the unitary production cost. First, we need to calculate the unitary product cost.
Unitary product cost= (12 + 25 + 3) + (500,000/20,000)
Unitary product cost= 40 + 25= $65
Income statement:
Sales= 100*19,000= 1,900,000
COGS= 65*19,000= (1,235,000)
Gross profit= 665,000
Variable selling and administrative= (2*19,000)=(38,000)
Fixed selling and administrative= (600,000)
Net operating income= 27,000
Flychucker Corporation is evaluating an extra dividend versus a share repurchase. In either case $19,000 would be spent. Current earnings are $1.40 per share, and the stock currently sells for $50 per share. There are 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes and other imperfections. a. Evaluate the two alternatives in terms of the effect on the price per share of the stock and shareholder wealth per share
Answer:
Alternative I: (Extra dividend)
Price per share is $ 46.20
Shareholder wealth per share is $ 42.40
Alternative II: ( Share repurchase)
For share repurchase, the price per share and the shareholder wealth is equal to the stock price.
Explanation:
Alternative I: (Extra dividend)
Amount spent = $19,000
Outstanding shares = 5,000 shares
Stock price = $50
Price per share = Stock price - [tex]\frac{Amount spent}{Outstanding Shares}[/tex]
= $50 - [tex]\frac{19,000}{5,000}[/tex] = $50 - $3.8
= $ 46.20
Shareholder wealth per share = Price per share - [tex]\frac{Amount spent}{Outstanding Shares}[/tex]
= $46.20 - $3.8
=$ 42.40
Alternative II: ( Share repurchase)
For share repurchase, the price per share and the shareholder wealth is equal to the stock price.

In September, Pochard incurred 10,800 direct labor hours for $95,000.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 95,000/10,800= $8.80
Direct labor rate variance= (9 - 8.8)*10,800
Direct labor rate variance= $2,160 favorable
It is favorable because the hourly rate was cheaper than estimated.

The largest national herbal supplement store is running a sale on its excess supply of Vitamin C supplements. With this new price change what do you think will happen to the Vitamin C supplement market? a. There will be a shift if the demand curve as demand increases. b. There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded. c. There will be a decrease in the quantity demanded. d. There will be a shift in the supply curve as supply increases.
Answer:
b. There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded.
Explanation:
The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
So if there's a sale, vitamin c would become cheaper and the quantity demanded would increase. This would lead to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift.

During 2017, Woods Company purchased 80,000 shares of Holmes Corporation common stock for $1,260,000 as an equity investment. The fair value of these shares was $1,200,000 at December 31, 2017. Woods sold all of the Holmes stock for $17 per share on December 3, 2018, incurring $56,000 in brokerage commissions.
Required:
1. Woods Company should report a realized gain on the sale of stock in 2018 of ____________.
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
a.$44,000.
b.$100,000.
c.$104,000.
d.$160,000.
Option A,$44,000 is correct
Explanation:
In the year 2017,an unrealized loss of $60,000 was recorded on the investment i.e fair value at year end of $1,200,000 minus the cost of the investment of $1,260,000
In the year 2018,the total cash proceeds from sale of investment=($17*80,000)-$56,000=$1,304,000
The realized gain on sale of stock in 2018=cash proceeds-fair value-unrealized loss of $60,000=$1,304,000-$1,200,000-$60,000 =$44,000
Piels Corporation produces a part that is used in the manufacture of one of its products. The costs associated with the production of 10,000 units of this part are as follows:
Direct materials $ 90,000
Direct labor 130,000
Variable factory overhead 60,000
Fixed factory overhead 140,000
Total costs $420,000
Of the fixed factory overhead costs, $60,000 is avoidable. Conners Company has offered to sell 10,000 units of the same part to Piels Corporation for $36 per unit.
Required:
1. Assuming there is no other use for the facilities, Piels should ___________.
Answer:
It is cheaper to produce
Explanation:
Cost of producing
Direct materials - 90000
Direct labor - 130000
Variable factory overhead - 60000
Fixed factory overhead - 60000
Total cost - 340000
Cost of buying `10000*36 = 360000
Incremental cost of buying = 360000-340000 = $20,000
It is cheaper to produce at 340000/10000 = $34 /unit
In making a decision whether to buy or manufacture , variable cost and the avoidable costs are considered relevant for this purpose
Marle Construction enters into a contract with a customer to build a warehouse for $950,000 on March 30, 2018 with a performance bonus of $50,000 if the building is completed by July 31, 2018. The bonus is reduced by $10,000 each week that completion is delayed. Marle commonly includes these completion bonuses in its contracts and, based on prior experience, estimates the following completion outcomes: Completed by Probability July 31, 2018 65% August 7, 2018 5% August 14, 2018 5% August 21, 2018 The transaction price for this transaction, based on the expected value approach, is:_______.
a. $950,000
b. $995,000
c. $685,000
d. $652,500
Answer:
b. $995,000
Explanation:
The computation of the transaction price based on the expected value approach is shown below:
The formula is
= (Building cost of warehouse + bonus) × probability percentage
Date Calculation Amount
July 31, 2018 ($950,000+$50,000) × 0.65 $650,000
August 7, 2018 ($950,000+$40,000) × 0.25 $247,500
August 14, 2018 ($950,000+$30,000) × 0.05 $49,000
August 21, 2018 ($950,000+$20,000) × 0.05 $48,500
Total $995,000
Since the bonus is reduced $10,000 each week so $10,000 is deducted for every delayed week

Exercise 8-14 Inventory cost flow methods; perpetual system [LO8-1, 8-4] Altira Corporation uses a perpetual inventory system. The following transactions affected its merchandise inventory during the month of August 2018: Aug.1 Inventory on hand—2,100 units; cost $6.20 each. 8 Purchased 10,500 units for $5.60 each. 14 Sold 8,400 units for $12.10 each. 18 Purchased 6,300 units for $5.40 each. 25 Sold 7,400 units for $11.10 each. 31 Inventory on hand—3,100 units. Exercise 8-14 Part 1 Required: 1. Determine the inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet and the cost of goods sold it would report in its August 2018 income statement using the FIFO method. (Round "Cost per Unit" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. The inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet is $16,740.
b. Cost of good sold = $89,100
Explanation:
a. Determine the inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet
Based on FIFO method, we have:
Inventory 8,400 sold on Aug. 14 = 2,100 units from Aug. 1 beginning balance+ 6,300 units from Aug. 8 Purchases
Aug. 8 purchases balance after the Agug 14. sales = 10,500 - 6,300 = 4,200 units
Inventory 7,400 sold on Aug. 25 = 4,200 from Aug. 8 balance+ 3,200 from Aug. 18 Purchases
Aug. 18 purchases balance after the Agug 25. sales = 6,300 - 3,200 = 3,100 units
Value of closing inventory = 3,100 * 5.40 = $16,740
Therefore, the inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet is $16,740.
b. Determine the cost of goods sold it would report in its August 2018 income statement using the FIFO method.
Beginning inventory value = 2,100 * 6.20 = $13,020
Value of purchases = (10,500 * $5.60) + (6,300 * $5.40) = $92,820
Value of closing inventory = $16,740
Cost of good sold = $13,020 + $92,820 - $16,740 = $89,100
A work center uses kanban containers that hold 200 parts. To produce enough parts to fill a container, 60 minutes of setup plus run time are needed. Moving the container to the next workstation, waiting time, processing time at the next work station, and return of the empty container take 120 minutes. There is an overall demand rate of 10 units per minute. Calculate the number of containers needed for this process.
Answer:
9 containers
Explanation:
Data given
Container holds (capacity) = 200 units
Demand rate per minute = 10 units
The computation of number of containers needed is shown below:-
Time to fill container = Setup time + Processing time
= 60 + 120
= 180 minutes
Number of containers (n) = (Demand × Time to fill container) ÷ Capacity of the container
= (10 × 180) ÷ 200
= 1,800 ÷ 200
= 9 containers
Therefore for computing the number of containers we simply applied the above formula.
EHW Office Supplies, Inc. uses the perpetual inventory system. On September 4, 2019,EHW sold merchandise inventory on account at a price of $50,000 with payment terms of 1/10, n/30. The merchandise cost EHW $40,000. On September 12, 2019, the customer pays the proper amount due for the merchandise based on the credit terms. How much will be credited to Accounts Receivable when recording the collection
Answer:

Cash received=$50,000*(1-1%)=$49,500
discount =$50,000-$49,500=$500
The appropriate entries for cash collection:
Dr cash $49,500
Dr discount allowed $500
Cr accounts receivable $50,000
