Answer:
1. 400%
2. The overhead is over applied by $794,300
3. Account Debit Credit
Factory overhead $794,300
Cost of goods sold $794,300
Explanation:
Overhead costs = $2,000,000
Direct labor costs = $500,000.
1. To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we use the formula
Predetermined overhead rate = [tex]\frac{Estimated Overhead}{Estimated Direct Labor Cost}[/tex] × 100
= [tex]\frac{2,000,000}{500,000}[/tex] × 100 = 400%
Therefore, Predetermined overhead rate = 400%
2. Applied overhead cost = Direct material cost × Predetermined overhead cost
Total direct labor cost = $436,000
Therefore, applied overhead cost = $436,000 × 400% = $1,744,000
Actual overhead costs = $949,700
Factory overhead = Applied overhead - Actual overhead
= $1,744,000 - $949,700
= $794,300
The overhead is over applied by $794,300
3. Account Debit Credit
Factory overhead $794,300
Cost of goods sold $794,300
Sean Thornton has invested in a convertible bond issued by Cohan Enterprises. The conversion ratio is 20. The market price of Cohan common stock is $60 per share. The face value is $1,000. The coupon rate is 8 percent and the annual interest is paid until the maturity date 10 years from now. Similar nonconvertible bonds are yielding 12 percent (YTM) in the marketplace. Calculate the straight bond value of this bond.
Answer:
$774
Explanation:
Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows. This Includes the present value of coupon payment and cash flow on maturity of the bond.
As per Given Data
As the payment are made semiannually, so all value are calculated on semiannual basis.
Coupon payment = 1000 x 8% = $80 annually
Number of Payments = n = 10 years x 1 = 10 periods
Yield to maturity = 12% annually
To calculate Price of the bond use following formula of Present value of annuity.
Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Price of the Bond =$80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 12% )^-10 ) / 12% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 12% )^10 ]
Price of the Bond =452.02 + $321.97 = 773.99
Presented below is selected information for Sandhill Company. Answer the questions asked about each of the factual situations. (Do not leave any answer field blank. Enter 0 for amounts.) 1. Sandhill purchased a patent from Vania Co. for $1,190,000 on January 1, 2018. The patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2028. During 2020, Sandhill determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition. What amount should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020?
Answer:
$714,000
Explanation:
Amortization is the systematic allocation of the cost of an intangible asset to the income statement. While depreciation happens to a tangible asset, amortization happens to an intangible asset such as patent, trademark etc.
Mathematically,
Amortization
= Cost of asset / estimated useful life
= $1,190,000/10
= $119,000
At the start of 2020,
Carrying amount of patent
= $1,190,000 - 2($119,000)
= $952,000
Annual amortization from then, given that economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition (hence 4 years remaining)
= $952,000/4
= $238,000
Carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020
= $952,000 - $238,000
= $714,000
Fidelity Systems reports net income of $81 million. Included in that number is depreciation expense of $9 million, and a gain on the sale of equipment of $2 million. Records reveal increases in Accounts Receivable, Inventory, and Accounts Payable of $3 million, $3 million, and $3 million, respectively. Calculate Fidelity's net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (Negative value should be indicated by minus sign. Enter your answer in millions.)
Answer:
$85 million
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method is provided below:-
Net cash flow from operating activities = Net income + Depreciation - Gain on sale of equipment - Increase in accounts receivable - Increase in inventory + Increase in accounts payable
= $81 million + $9 million - $2 million - $3 million - $3 million + $3 million
= $93 million - $8 million
= $85 million
So, we have calculated the net cash flow from operating activities by using the above formula.
Johnson Corp. has two divisions, Division A and Division B. Division B has asked Division A to supply it with 5,000 units of part WD26 this year to use in one of its products. Division A has th capacity to produce 25,000 units of part WD26 per year. Division A expects to sell 21,000 units of part WD26 to outside customers this year at a price of $20.00 per unit. To fill the order from Division B, Division A would have to cut back its sales to outside customers. Division A's variable manufacturing cost (direct labor + direct material + variable overhead) for part WD26 is $12.00 per unit. The variable selling cost when selling to outside customers is $2.00 per unit. This variable selling cost would not have to be incurred on sales of the parts to Division B.
1. Calculate Division A's minimum acceptable transfer price.
2. Baker Inc. has approached Division B and has offered to sell 5,000 units of the part for $18 per unit. Division B can either purchase the part from Baker Inc. or transfer it from Division A. How much does the overall profit of Johnson Inc. increase or decrease, if Division B accepts Baker's offer and declines to transfer any units from Division A.
Answer:
1. $13.50
2. Decrease in Profit : $ 22,500
Explanation:
Minimum Transfer Price = Variable Costs - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost
= $12.00 + $2.00 - $2.00 + 1,000/4,000 × ($20.00 - ($12.00 + $2.00))
= $12.00 + $1.50
= $13.50
Maximum Transfer Price can never be more than what the receiving division (Division B can purchase externally)
Maximum Transfer Price = $18.00
Division B will incur more costs when it accepts Baker's offer and declines to transfer any units from Division A. Hence decrease in Profit)
Decrease in Profit = 5,000 units × ($18.00 - $13.50)
= $ 22,500

Choose the best answer:
O Investment decisions should be based upon the criterion that a project's expected return must be less than the weighted marginal cost of capital (WMCC) for the firm.
O The weighted average cost of capital will rise whenever there is a rise in the cost of any one of the capital sources.
O The level of total financing at which the cost of one of the capital sources rises is called a breaking point.
O All statements are correct.
O All statements are incorrect.
Answer:
Option B is correct.
Explanation:
Option A is incorrect because the expected return must be greater than the marginal cost of the capital which means that the Net Present Value must be positive.
Option B is correct because the increase in cost of debt or capital would increase the weighted average cost of capital. This is because weighted average cost of capital is directly proportional to cost of capital sources.
Option C is incorrect because its not the cost of one of the capital sources, actually it is the weighted average cost of capital which when starts increasing at a point due to increase in the level of financing is known as breaking point.
So the only statement that is correct is option B.

The projected annual after-tax net income from the equipment is $1,700, after deducting $15,000 for depreciation. The revenue is to be received at the end of each year. The machine has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. Butler requires a 12% return on its investments. The present value of an annuity of $1 for different periods follows: Periods 12% 1 0.8929 2 1.6901 3 2.4018 4 3.0373 What is the net present value of the machine?
Answer:
-$4,889.94
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
Net present value = Present value after considering the depreciation and discounting factor - initial investment
where
Present value is
= After-tax net income + Depreciation expense
= $1,700 + $15,000
= $16,700
And its discounting factor is 2.4018
So, the present value is
= $16,700 × 2.4018
= $40,110.06
And, the initial investment is $45,000
So, the net present value is
= $40,110.06 - $45,000
= -$4,889.94
An operations manager is performing a factor-rating analysis to help her choose an outsourcing provider. She is focusing on three factors: A, B, and C, with weights of .50, .20, and .30, respectively. She has scored one potential outsourcer, Ling Services, on each of the factors using a scale of 10-50. Ling Services received a score of 30 for factor A, 46 for factor B, and 22 for factor C. What is the factor-rating score for Ling Services
Answer:
30.8
Explanation:
The solution of factor-rating score for Ling Services is provided below:-
Factor-rating score = (Weight for Factor A × Rating for Factor A) + (Weight for Factor B × Rating for Factor B) + (Weight for Factor C × Rating for Factor C)
= (0.50 × 30) + (0.20 × 46) + (0.30 × 22)
= 15 + 9.2 + 6.6
= 30.8
So, we have calculated the factor-rating score for Ling Services by using the above formula.

Explanation:
Sheffield's Bakery makes a variety of home-style cookies for upscale restaurants in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The company's best-selling cookie is the double chocolate almond supreme. Sheffield's recipe requires 10 ounces of a commercial cookie mix, 5 ounces of milk chocolate, and 1 ounce of almonds per pound of cookies. The standard direct materials costs are $0.80 per pound of cookie mix, $4 per pound of milk chocolate, and $19 per pound of almonds. Each pound of cookies requires 1 minute of direct labor in the mixing department and 5 minutes of direct labor in the baking department. The standard labor rates in those departments are $12.70 per direct labor hour (DLH) and $27 per DLH, respectively. Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $37.00 per DLH; fixed overhead is applied at a rate of $60 per DLH.
Required:
1. Calculate the standard cost for a pound of Sheffield's double chocolate almond supreme cookies. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.51.)
Answer:
The Standard cost for a pound of Sheffield's double chocolate almond supreme cookies is $15.10
Explanation:
The standard direct materials costs are $0.80 per pound of cookie mix, $4 per pound of milk chocolate, and $19 per pound of almonds.
Total ounces = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16
Standard Material Cost = ([tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] × 0.80) + ([tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] × 4) + ([tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] × 19)
Standard Material Cost = $ 2.9375
Each pound of cookies requires 1 minute of direct labor in the mixing department and 5 minutes of direct labor in the baking department.
Standard Direct Labor Cost = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] × 12.70 + [tex]\frac{5}{60}[/tex] × 27
Standard Direct Labor Cost = $2.4617
Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $37.00 per direct labor hour
Standard Variable overhead cost = 6/60 × 37
Standard Variable overhead cost = $ 3.70
Standard Fixed overhead cost = 6/60 × 60
Standard Fixed overhead cost = $ 6
Standard cost for a pound = $2.9375 + $2.4617 + $3.70 + $6
Standard cost for a pound = $15.10
The Standard cost for a pound of Sheffield's double chocolate almond supreme cookies in the above case is $15.10.
What is the standard cost?A standard cost is defined as an anticipated cost that a company commonly launches at the starting of a fiscal year for amounts used and prices paid.
It is an anticipated amount of money to pay off for materials costs or labor rates. The standard quantity is the anticipated exercise amount of materials or labor.
Computation of standard cost:
According to the given information,
Standard direct materials costs = $0.80 per pound of cookie mix.
Per pound of milk chocolate = $4, and
Per pound of almonds = $19.
Total ounces:
[tex]\text{Total Ounce} = \text{Commercial cookies Mix+ Milk Chocolate+Almonds}\\\\\text{Total Ounce} = 10 + 5 + 1\\\\\text{Total Ounce} = 16[/tex]
Then, Standard Material Cost:
[tex]=(\dfrac{10}{16}\times 0.80)+(\dfrac{5}{16}\times4) +(\dfrac{1}{16} \times 19)\\\\=2.9375[/tex]
Now, 1 minute of direct labor is required in the mixing department and 5 minutes of direct labor in the baking department. Then the standard direct labor cost is:
[tex]\text{Standard Direct Labor Cost} = (\dfrac{1}{60}\times 12.70) +(\dfrac{5}{60} \times 27)\\\\\text{Standard Direct Labor Cost} = \$2.4617[/tex]
Variable overhead is applied at a rate = $37.00 per direct labor hour
Now, find the value of Standard Variable overhead cost:
[tex]\text{Standard Variable Overhead Cost} = \dfrac{6}{60}\times 37\\\\\text{Standard Variable Overhead Cost} =\$3.70[/tex]
Now, Standard Fixed overhead cost:
[tex]\text{Standard Fixed Overhead Cost} = \dfrac{6}{60}\times 60\\\\\text{Standard Fixed Overhead Cost} =\$6[/tex]
Therefore, Standard cost for a pound:
[tex]=\text{ Standard Direct Labor Cost}+\text{Standard Variable Overhead Cost}+\text{ Fixed Overhead Cost}\\\\=\$2.9375 + \$2.4617 + \$3.70 + \$6\\\\=\$15.10[/tex]
Therefore, Standard cost for a pound is $15.10.

On September 1, 2018, Able Company purchased a building from Regal Corporation by paying $580,000 cash and issuing a one-year note payable for the balance of the purchase price. Interest on the note is stated at an annual rate of 11% and is paid at maturity. In its December 31, 2018, balance sheet, Able correctly presented the note and interest payable as follows:
Interest Payable: $ 19,800
Notes Payable, 11% due September 1, 2019 $540,000
1. How much must Able pay Regal Corporation on September 1, 2019, when the note matures?
2. What is the amount of the interest expense Able will recognize on this note in 2019?
3. What is the total cash (including interest) paid for the building purchased by Able?
4. The company's annual payroll-related expenses amount to approximately?
Answer:
1. Able must pay Regal Corporation $599,400 on September 1, 2019, when the note matures.
2. The amount of Interest Able will recognize on this Notes Payable is 39,600
3. The total cash (including interest) paid for the building purchased by Able is $1,179,400
4. Payroll related expense does not come into picture in this question. So it is not answered.
Explanation:
1. According to the given data we have the following:
Rate of Interest = 11%
Therefore:
Year Amount Interest
September 1, 2018 $540,000
December 31, 2018 $19,800
September 1, 2019 $39,600
Total $540,000 $59,400
Therefore, Total Payable=Notes payable+Interest 540000 Total Payable= $540,000+$59,400
Total Payable=$599,400
Able must pay Regal Corporation $599,400 on September 1, 2019, when the note matures.
2. The amount of Interest Able will recognize on this Notes Payable is 39,600
3. To calculate The total cash paid for building purchased by Able including interest we have to make the following calculation:
Total cash paid for purchase of building=Cash paid at the time of purchase of building+Notes payable+Interest
Total cash paid for purchase of building=$580,000+$540,000+$59,400
Total cash paid for purchase of building=$1,179,400
The total cash (including interest) paid for the building purchased by Able is $1,179,400

GEICO, the number-two auto insurer with $18 billion in revenue last year, spent $0.9 billion on advertising that year and plans to continue spending the same percentage of sales on advertising next year. The average advertising-to-sales ratio for the insurance industry is 0.2 percent of sales. If GEICO projects $20 billion in sales next year, using the percentage-of-sales method of advertising budgeting, how much will the company budget for advertising if basing it on projected sales?
Answer:
The budget for advertising for the next year will be $1 billion.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the advertising to sales ratio for GEICO based on its last year data is,
Advertising to sales = Advertising / Sales Revenue
Advertising to sales = 0.9 / 18 = 0.05 or 5%
The advertising to sales ratio for GEICO is much higher than the industry average. If GEICO continues to maintain this ratio for the next year, the budget for advertising will be,
Advertising budget = 20 * 5% = $1 billion

In late December you​ decide, for tax​ purposes, to sell a losing position that you hold in​ Twitter, which is listed on the​ NYSE, so that you can capture the loss and use it to offset some capital​ gains, thus reducing your taxes for the current year.​ However, since you still believe that Twitter is a good​ long-term investment, you wish to buy back your position in February the following year. To get this done you call your Charles Schwab brokerage account manager and request that he immediately sell your 1 comma 200 shares of Twitter and then in early February buy them back. Charles Schwab charges a commission of ​$4.95 for online stock trades and for​ broker-assisted trades there is an additional ​$25 service​ charge, so the total commission is ​$29.95.
a. Suppose that your total transaction costs for selling the 1,400 shares of Twitter in December were $59.95. What was the bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was executed?
b. Given that Twitter is listed on the NYSE, do your total transaction costs for December seem reasonable? Explain why or why not.
c. When your February statement arrives in the mail, you see that your total transaction costs for buying the 1,400 shares of Twitter were $47.95. What was the bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was executed?
d. What are your total round-trip transaction costs for both selling and buying the shares, and what could you have done differently to reduce the total costs?
Answer:
a. The Bid/Ask spread is $0.03.
b. The statement is “False”.
c. The Bid/Ask spread at the time trade was executed is $0.02.
d. The Total Round-Trip Transaction Costs is $107.90 and the Bid/Ask spread is $0.09. It is important to have a lower commission charge. So the correct statement is “Statement C”.

The information are as follows:
Cash collections from customers $ 800
Purchase of used equipment 200
Depreciation expense 200
Sale of investments 450
Dividends received 100
Interest received 200
Based on the above information, compute cash flows from investing activities under GAAP.
Answer:
$250
Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow.
Hence the cash flows from investing activities
= -$200 + $450
= $250
Other activities are reported under operating activities section.
With practical illustrations, discuss how managers can leverage organizational behavior components to maximize business success.

Baldwin has a new design for their product Bill next round that can reduce their material cost of producing units from $8.14 to $7.32. Baldwin passes on half of all cost savings by cutting the current price to customers. For simplicity:
- Use current labor costs of $4.17
- Assume all period costs as reported on Baldwin's Income Statement (Annual Rpt Pg 2) will remain the same.
Determine how many units (000) of product Bill would need to be sold next round to break even on the product.
Answer:
Hie, the information you have provided is incomplete.
However important information is explained as follows :
To calculate Break - even Point use the formula;
Break even Point (units) = Total Budgeted Fixed Costs / Contribution per unit
Break even Point is the level of operation at which a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Contribution is Calculated as :

In February 2021, Culverson Company began developing a new software package to be sold to customers. The software allows people to enter health information and daily eating and exercise habits to track their health status. The project was completed in November 2021 at a cost of $1,500,000. Of this amount, $540,000 was spent before technological feasibility was established. Culverson expects a useful life of two years for the new product and total revenues of $1,740,000. Determine the amount that Culverson should capitalize as software development costs in 2021.
Answer:
$960,000
Explanation:
The computation of the software development capitalized is shown below:
= Project completion cost - Amount spent before the technological feasibility established
= $1,500,000 - $540,000
= $960,000
By deducting the amount spent before the technological feasibility established from the project completion cost we can get the capitalized amount with respect to the software development
Highpoint, Inc., is considering investing in automated equipment with a ten-year useful life. Managers at Highpoint have estimated the cash flows associated with the tangible costs and benefits of automation, but have been unable to estimate the cash flows associated with the intangible benefits. Using the company's 14% required rate of return, the net present value of the cash flows associated with just the tangible costs and benefits is a negative $182,560.
Required:
1. How large would the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be to make this a financially acceptable investment?
Answer:
The annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be $35,000 to make this a financially acceptable investment
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
required rate of return=14%
Negative net present value=$182,560
Therefore, in order to calculate How large would the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be to make this a financially acceptable investment we would have to use the following formula:
Minimum annual cash flows required=Negative net present value/Present value factor at 14% for 10 years
Present value factor at 14% for 10 years=5.216
Therefore, Minimum annual cash flows required=$182,560/5.216
Minimum annual cash flows required=$35,000
The annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be $35,000 to make this a financially acceptable investment
Strategic thinking is different from strategic planning in that ________.
A) strategic thinking relies more on hard data than strategic planning.
B) strategic thinking is regimented and confining, whereas strategic planning is more flexible.
C) strategic thinking includes all types of information sources while strategic planning does not.
D) strategic thinking can create an illusion of control, whereas strategic planning avoids this.
Answer:
C) strategic thinking includes all types of information sources while strategic planning does not.
Explanation:

Moreover it does not involves all types of information but involves only important matters i.e to be used for the long run
The following are Silver Corporation's unit costs of making and selling an item at a volume of 8,000 units per month (which represents the company's capacity):
Manufacturing:
Direct materials $4
Direct labor $5
Variable overhead $2
Fixed overhead $8
Selling and administrative:
Variable $1
Fixed $6
Present sales amount to 7,000 units per month. An order has been received from a customer in a foreign market for 1,000 units. The order would not affect regular sales. Total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling and administrative, would not be affected by this order. The variable selling and administrative costs would have to be incurred for this special order as well as all other sales. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Assume the company has 50 units left over from last year which have small defects and which will have to be sold at a reduced price for scrap. The sale of these defective units will have no effect on the company's other sales. Which of the following costs is relevant in this decision?
a. $19 unit product cost
b. $11 variable manufacturing cost
c. $26 full cost
d. $1 variable selling and administrative cost
Answer:
$19 unit product cost - Not relevant
b. $11 variable manufacturing cost - Relevant
c. $26 full cost - Not relevant
d. $1 variable selling and administrative cost- Relevant
Explanation:
A relevant cost is an incremental cost future cash cost which is incurred as a direct consequence of a decision. Note that for any of the cost to be considered as relevant for the special order, such cost must satisfy all of the following criteria:
Future, cash flow and a rises a direct consequence.
So we shall apply these criteria to the question
a. $19 unit product cost : Not relevant because it includes an item of fixed cost of $2 which would incurred either way
$11 variable manufacturing cost: Relevant because it includes all the variable costs which would have to be incurred if the order is accepted
$26 full cost Not relevant because it includes items of fixed manufacturing and fixed selling costs of $14 i.e (8+6) which would incurred either way.
$1 variable selling and administrative cost : Relevant because it would be incurred if the special order is accepted
$19 unit product cost - Not relevant
b. $11 variable manufacturing cost - Relevant
c. $26 full cost - Not relevant
d. $1 variable selling and administrative cost- Relevant
A relevant cost is each future monetary expenditure that is incurred as a direct result of a choice. It should be emphasized that any expense taken into account for the particular order must meet all of the following criteria:
In conclusion, the growth, working capital, and a climb. As a result, we'll use these criteria to respond to the questions.The answers of the following are:
a. $19 unit product cost - Not relevant
b. $11 variable manufacturing cost - Relevant
c. $26 full cost - Not relevant
d. $1 variable selling and administrative cost- Relevant
a. $19 unit product cost: This is irrelevant since it contains a $2 set rate that would be incurred anyway.
$11 variable manufacturing cost: This is essential since it covers all of the various costs that must be paid if the order is approved. The full price is $26. It is irrelevant since it contains $14 in permanent manufactured and facilitator expenditures, i.e. (8+6), which would be incurred regardless of the outcome. $1 variable selling and administration cost: This is essential since it will be payable if the custom order is granted. The cost of a $19 unit product is negligible.
b. Variable manufacturing cost of $11 -
c. $26 full price - unimportant
d. $1 in variable selling and administrative costs- Relevant

When the Constitution was adopted in 1789, why was the federal government granted the authority to raise taxes?
PBMF
Answer: Debt Payment, National Defense and Welfare of the United States
Explanation:
When the Articles of the Confederation which was the first Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1781, it included a clause that empowered the State Governments to decide what to give to Congress. Some of them gave less and some gave nothing of what they were supposed to give.
Congress was therefore powerless and risked falling apart and with it, the Central Government.
The Constitution of 1789 changed this by including the 'Taxing and Spending' clause.
This clause gave Congress the right to impose taxes. The clause states that Congress can levy taxes to enable it to pay off American debt as well as for the defense and general welfare of American citizens.
