Answer:
d. None of the answers is correct
$17,000 increase
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution is provided below:-
For reaching the change in income if the special order is accepted we need to follow some steps which are as follows:-
Step 1
Variable manufacturing cost per unit = Variable manufacturing costs ÷ Sale units
= $240,000 ÷ 24,000
= $10
Step 2
Cost related with special order = Number of units × Variable manufacturing cost per unit
= 3,400 × $10
= $34,000
Step 3
Income from special order = Number of units × Selling price
= 3,400 × $15
= $51,000
Therefore the Change in income if special order is accepted = Income from special order- Cost related with special order
= $51,000 - $34,000
= $17,000 increase
d. None of the answers is correct the right answer is $17,000 increase.
To reach the change in income if special order is accepted we simply put the values into formula.
Pete is a woodworker and charges $125 an hour for his time manufacturing custom-made wood products. For his wife's birthday, he designs and creates an intricate maple jewelry box that takes him 20 hours to complete. By how much and in what direction does GDP change as a result of his efforts? Group of answer choices GDP rises by $1,875. GDP falls by $1,875. GDP is not affected by Pete's production of the jewelry box. GDP rises by $125.
Answer:
GDP is not affected by Pete's production of the jewelry box.
Explanation:
Pete is a woodworker and works 20 hours to prepare a jewelry box to gift his wife. If Pete prepares this jewelry box to sell and earn revenue, this will be considered in GDP but in this case Pete prepares a jewelry box to give his wife as his wife's birthday gift.
All types of gifts received or given in kind are not included in Gross Domestic Production.

The management of Shatner Manufacturing Company is trying to decide whether to continue manufacturing a part or to buy it from an outside supplier. The part, called CISCO, is a component of the company’s finished product. The following information was collected from the accounting records and production data for the year ending December 31, 2020.
1. 7,900 units of CISCO were produced in the Machining Department.
2. Variable manufacturing costs applicable to the production of each CISCO unit were: direct materials $4.58, direct labor $4.51, indirect labor $0.45, utilities $0.41.
3. Fixed manufacturing costs applicable to the production of CISCO were:
Cost Item Direct Allocated
Depreciation $1,900 $860
Property taxes 530 320
Insurance 870 610 $3,
300 $1,790
All variable manufacturing and direct fixed costs will be eliminated if CISCO is purchased. Allocated costs will have to be absorbed by other production departments.4. The lowest quotation for 7,900 CISCO units from a supplier is $63,200.5. If CISCO units are purchased, freight and inspection costs would be $0.60 per unit, and receiving costs totaling $1,270 per year would be incurred by the Machining Department.Required:a) Prepare an incremental analysis for CISCO.
Answer:
Financial advantage of purchasing Cisco from outside vendor = $9,440

On December 31, 2020, Berclair Inc. had 460 million shares of common stock and 3 million shares of 9%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock issued and outstanding. On March 1, 2021, Berclair purchased 24 million shares of its common stock as treasury stock. Berclair issued a 5% common stock dividend on July 1, 2021. Four million treasury shares were sold on October 1. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $700 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Also outstanding at December 31 were incentive stock options granted to key executives on September 13, 2016. The options are exercisable as of September 13, 2020, for 30 million common shares at an exercise price of $56 per share. During 2021, the market price of the common shares averaged $70 per share.
In 2017, $50.0 million of 8% bonds, convertible into 6 million common shares, were issued at face value.
Required:
Compute Berciair's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Answer:
Basic earnings per share = $1.46
Diluted earnings per share = $1.40
Explanation:
Basic earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Net income for the year ended December 31 $700,000,000
Less Preference dividend ( 3,000,000 × 9%×$100×5%) ($1,350,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $698,650,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders Calculation :
Common Shares 1 January 2021 460 million
Purchased On March 1, 2021, (10/12×24,000,000) 20 million
Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders 480 million
Basic earnings per share = $698,650,000/ 480,000,000
= $1.46
Diluted earnings per share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock /Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders
Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Net income for the year ended December 31 $700,000,000
Less Preference dividend ( 3,000,000 × 9%×$100×5%) ($1,350,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $698,650,000
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders Calculation
Common Shares 1 January 2021 460 million
Purchased On March 1, 2021, (10/12×24,000,000) 20 million
Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders 480 million
Diluted earnings per share = $698,650,000/ 500,000,000
= $1.40

The company's ROI per unit is $16. Compute Sunland Corporation’s markup percentage using absorption-cost pricing. Absorption-cost pricing markup percentage % Compute Sunland Corporation’s markup percentage using variable-cost pricing. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50%.) Variable-cost pricing markup percentage %
Answer:
Mark-up;
Absorption costing=20%
Variable costing pricing = 26.7%
Explanation:
Absorption costing values production units using full cost per unit.
Full cost per unit= Direct material cost + Direct Labour cost + Variable production overhead+ Fixed production overhead
Absorption costing =18 + 22+ 27+13= 80
Mark-up = ROi/cost per unit× 100
= 16/80 ×100= 20%
Variable costing pricing
Here products are valued using the variable cost of production.
18 + 22+ 13+ 7= 60
Mark-up = 16/60× 100= 27%
Mark-up;
Absorption costing= 20%
Variable costing pricing =26.7%
Nick’s Novelties, Inc., is considering the purchase of new electronic games to place in its amusement houses. The games would cost a total of $300,000, have an eight-year useful life, and have a total salvage value of $20,000. The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows: Revenues $ 200,000 Less operating expenses: Commissions to amusement houses $ 100,000 Insurance 7,000 Depreciation 35,000 Maintenance 18,000 160,000 Net operating income $ 40,000 Garrison 16e Rechecks 2017-05-22 Exercise 12-8 Part 2 2a. Compute the simple rate of return promised by the games. 2b. If the company requires a simple rate of return of at least 12%, will the games be purchased?
Answer:
13.33%
Yes , the recent games should be purchased.
Explanation:
Relevant data provided to figure out the simply rate of return is here below:-
Net income = $40,000
Initial investment = $300,000
As per the given question the solution of simple rate of return is provided below:-
Simple rate of return = Net income ÷ Initial investment × 100
= $40,000 ÷ $300,000 × 100
= 0.13333 × 100
= 13.33%
The recent games should be purchased for the reason that simple rate of return exceed least rate of return = Simple rate of return - Least simple rate of return
= 13.33% - 12%
= 1.33%
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon. Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
The government has instituted a legal elector
minimum price of $2.30 per gallon for more
than $2.50 per gallon. Price ceiling Binding

There are many teenagers who would like to
work at gas stations, but they are not hired due
to minimum-wage laws. Price ceiling Binding
Price floor Non-binding
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Price ceiling:-This is show the limit of the price on maximizing value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer.
Binding:-The binding price ceiling is below the equilibrium price.
Unbinding:-The unbinding price ceiling is above equilibrium price.
Price floor:-This is show the limit of the price on lower value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer. A price floor must be higher than the price equilibrium price in order to be effective.
Binding:-The binding price floor is above the equilibrium price.
Unbinding:-The unbinding price floor is below the equilibrium price.
It is given that the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.
Statement 1:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $2.30 per gallon is decided.
Statement 2:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $3.40 per gallon is decided for gasoline.
Statement 3:-This is the example of price floor and binding because teenagers are not hired due to minimum-wage laws.
Coronado Family Instruments makes cellos. During the past year, the company made 6,370 cellos even though the budget planned for only 5,500. The company paid its workers an average of $15 per hour, which was $1 higher than the standard labor rate. The production manager budgets four direct labor hours per cello. During the year, a total of 25,000 direct labor hours were worked.
Calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. (If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 6,370 cellos
The Budget production= 5,500.
The company paid its workers an average of $15 per hour, which was $1 higher than the standard labor rate.
The production manager budgets four direct labor hours per cello. During the year, a total of 25,000 direct labor hours were worked.
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (4*6,370 - 25,000)*14
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $6,720 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (14 - 15)*25,000
Direct labor rate variance= $25,000 unfavorable

The total cost accounted for could be computed by two methods
1. Adding the cost added to the beginning work in process inventory
2. Adding the cost of units transferred out to the ending work in process inventory
The Assembly Department of Interface, Inc., manufacturer of computers, had 1 comma 500 units of beginning inventory in September, and 9 comma 000 units were transferred to it from the Production Department. The Assembly Department completed 4 comma 500 units during the month and transferred them to the Packaging Department. The weightedminusaverage method is used. Calculate the total number of units to account for by the Assembly Department.
Answer:
The correct answer is 10,500 Units
Explanation:
Solution:
Given that:
Now
Beginning WIP inventory in September = 1500
Units transferred in from Production Department = 9000
The next step is to calculate the total number of units to account for by the Assembly Department.
Hence,
The WIP inventory beginning in September + The Units transferred in from Production Department
= 1500 + 9000 = 10,500 units
Crane Co. incurred research and development costs in 2021 as follows: Materials used in research and development projects $ 945000 Equipment acquired that will have alternate future uses in future research and development projects 2950000 Depreciation for 2021 on above equipment 491666 Personnel costs of persons involved in research and development projects 745000 Consulting fees paid to outsiders for research and development projects 295000 Indirect costs reasonably allocable to research and development projects 220000 $5646666 The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement should be
Answer:
The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement = $2,696,666
Explanation:
Materials used in research and development projects = $945,000
Equipment acquired that will have alternate future uses in future research and development projects = $2,950,000
Depreciation = $491,666
Personnel costs = $745,000
Consulting fees = $295,000
Indirect costs = $220,000
The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement would be:
Materials used + Depreciation for 2021 + Personnel costs + Consulting fees + Indirect costs
= $945,000 + $491,666 + $745,000 + $295,000 + $220,000
= $2,696,666
Therefore, the amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement =$2,696,666
What’s the disadvantage of the stock repurchases relative to the dividend payments? Stock repurchase can help avoiding setting a high dividend level that cannot be maintained. Firms may have to bid up stock price to complete repurchase, thus paying too much for its own stock. Stockholders may take stock repurchase as a positive signal – management thinks stock is undervaluated. Investors can receive income from lower-taxed capital gains rather than the higher-taxed dividends
Answer:
Firms may have to bid up stock price to complete repurchase, thus paying too much for its own stock.
Explanation:
Generally, the price of stocks are not fixed, so it might take a long time for a stock repurchase or buyback to be completed. Investors like buybacks since they tend to increase the price of stocks, but it makes them more expensive for the corporation to repurchase them.
Buybacks are seen positive by investors because they will eventually increase the earnings per share (by decreasing the number of shares outstanding) and they are also taxed in a lower rate than normal income. Management will tend to start buybacks when they believe the stock price is undervalued and they have excess cash. This way they will achieve achieve two objectives with one action:

We divide the Costs with the cost drivers to get the rates.
1-Departmental Overhead Rate
1) Molding Department = Overhead Costs/ Machine Hours
= 6752,000/ 30,500= $ 221.377= $ 221.38 per machine hour
2) Trimming Department= Overhead Costs/ Direct Labor Hours
=$612,000 /48,000 DLH = $ 12.75 per DLH
Now we multiply the cost drivers with the rates to get the overheads costs.
2- Total overhead cost= $ 1137963 + $ 270432.6= $140 8395.6
N Part 270 =$ 1129038 + $ 8925= $ 1137963

Gelb Company currently manufactures 43,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $73,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $77,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 43,000 units and buying 43,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer:
It is cheaper to buy the component. At this level of production by $40,750.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 43,000 units
Variable costs are $2.95 per unit
Avoidable Fixed costs= $73,000 per year
Unavoidable fixed costs= $77,500 per year.
The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit.
We need to calculate the cost of producing and buying and choose the best option.
Production:
Total cost= 43,000*2.95 + 73,000= $199,850
Buy:
Total cost= 43,000*3.7= $159,100
It is cheaper to buy the component. At this level of production by $40,750.

Journalize the following transactions in the accounts of Zippy Interiors Company, a restaurant supply company that uses the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible receivables: May 24 Sold merchandise on account to Old Town Cafe $18,450. The cost of goods sold was $11,000. Sept. 30 Received $6,000 from Old Town Cafe and wrote off the remainder owed on the sale of May 24 as uncollectible. Dec. 7 Reinstated the account of Old Town Cafe that had been written off on September 30 and received $12,450 cash in full payment. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Answer:
Explanation:
Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of merchandise on account, and the cost of goods sold.
Date Particulars Debit Credit
May 24 Accounts receivable – O T Cafe $18,450
Sales $18,450
(To record sale of merchandise on account)
May 24 Cost of merchandise sold $11,000
Merchandise inventory $11,000
(To record the cost of goods sold)
Table (1)
Sale on account increases accounts receivable and sales revenue account. Hence, an increase in accounts receivable (asset account) is debited with $18,450 and an increase in sales revenue (stockholders’ equity account) is credited with $18,450.
Cost of goods sold is $11,000. Thus the expense incurred must be recognized by increasing cost of goods sold account and the merchandise inventory which is sold out should be decreased to record the inventory which is sold out. Hence, an increase in Cost of goods sold (expense account) is debited with $11,000 and a decrease in Merchandise inventory (asset account) is credited with $11,000.
2.
Prepare the journal entry to record the collection of cash and write-off of uncollectible accounts, under direct write-off method.
Date Particulars Debit Credit
September 30 Cash $6,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts $12,450
Account receivable – O T Cafe $18,450
(To record cash collection and write-off of uncollectible account receivable )
Table (2)
To record the collection of cash on account, cash account must be increased and accounts receivable must be decreased by $6,000.
To record this write-off of uncollectible receivables of $12,450 ($18,450−$6,000)($18,450−$6,000) under allowance method, both allowance for doubtful accounts and accounts receivable must be decreased by $12,450
At the end of 2020, Payne Industries had a deferred tax asset account with a balance of $95 million attributable to a temporary book-tax difference of $380 million in a liability for estimated expenses. At the end of 2021, the temporary difference is $288 million. Payne has no other temporary differences and no valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset. Taxable income for 2021 is $684 million and the tax rate is 25%. Required: 1.

The city of Trenton, New Jersey, passed an ordinance making it unlawful to use any form of sound amplification on the city streets. A city prosecutor, Charles Kovac, mounted an amplifier on a truck through which he played music and spoke on the microphone while driving on city streets. Kovac was tried and convicted in the Trenton Police Court and fined fifty dollars. Kovac appealed, arguing that the ordinance violated his rights of free speech and free assembly, The city claimed that the ordinance served a legitimate governmental function in keeping the city streets safe and orderly and did not prohibit free speech or assembly. How would a court likely rule in regards to the ordinance?
a. The court probably found that the ordinance was unconstitutional as an unreasonable restriction on fundamental rights.
b. The court probably found that the ordinance was unconstitutional under the equal protection clause.
c The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional under the establishment cause.
d. The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights.
Answer: d. The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights.
Explanation: Human rights maybe defined as the basic right that all human should be guaranteed by virtue of them being human, while an ordinance is given as a local law. The ruling of the court in regards to the ordinance would be that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights. This is because the ordinance was already in place to keep the city streets safe and orderly to which Charles Kovac flouted and as such was convicted.
Answer:
the answer would be D
Explanation:
The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights.
In response to rapidly rising property taxes, California voters approved a statewide ballot initiative, Proposition 13, which froze property taxes regardless of the appraised value of the property. The state was to reassess the value of the property and could increase taxes only when the ownership of property was transferred. The property was exempt from this reassessment if the exchange of ownership was made between persons over the age of fifty-five or between parents and children. Over time, this system created dramatic differences in the taxes paid by people owning similar property. Long-term owners paid lower taxes; new owners paid higher taxes. Stephanie Nordlinger bought a house in Los Angeles County. Nordlinger then sued the county, claiming that the tax system was unconstitutional under the equal protection clause because it allowed the government to treat similarly situated individuals differently. In finding that the law did not violate the equal protection clause, the court most likely applied which of the following standards?
a. Strict scrutiny
b. The rational bass test
c. intermediate scrutiny
d. A due process test
Answer: b. The Rational Basis test
Explanation:
The Rational Basis test allows for a court of law to scrutinize a Government law or regulation to determine if it violates the principles of the Equal Protection clause which holds that people in a jurisdiction are entitled to equal protection under the laws of the jurisdiction.
The Rational Basis clause is usually applied to economic and business laws Instituted by a government and for this reason and the previously mentioned must be the standard that the court applied in finding out if Nordlinger was in the right.

Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available.
Product G Product B
Selling price per unit $150 $180
Variable costs per unit 60 108
Contribution margin per unit $90 $72
Machine hours to produce 1 unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours
Maximum unit sales per month 550 units 200 units
The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month. Management is thinking about operating the machine for two shifts, which will increase its productivity by another eight hours per day for 22 days per month. This change would require $9,000 additional fixed costs per month. (Round hours per unit answers to 1 decimal place. Enter operating losses, if any, as negative values.)
Required:
1. Determine the contribution margin per machine hour that each product generates.
2. How many units of product G and product B should the company produce if it continues to operate with only one shift? How much total contribution margin does this mix produce each month?
Answer:
Product G Product B
Selling price per unit $150 $180
Variable costs per unit $60 $108
Contribution margin per unit $90 $72
Machine hours to produce 1 unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours
Maximum unit sales per month 550 units 200 units
1)
Contribution margin per = $90 / 0.4 = $72 / 1
machine hour = $225 = $72
2)
total operating hours per 176 hours
month
units produced 440 units 0 units
contribution margin $39,600 $0
Since Product G generates a much higher contribution margin per machine hour, all the available machine hours (176) should be used to produce it. That would result in 440 units produced and $39,600 generated as contribution margin.
150-seat restaurant $8,000,000 is needed to construct the restaurant; no additional investment is needed in working capital.
The owners have 6,000,000 in cash and borrow the rest from the bank at 5%.
The projected average seat turnover is 2 (use 320 days open in a year).
The stockholders require a 15% return on their investment annually.
The restaurant pays income taxes at the rate of 25%.
The restaurant’s estimated undistributed expenses, not including income taxes, total $2,000,000.
The forecasted cost of food sold and variable labor is 50 percent of sales.
What is the projected annual total number of covers?
Answer:
The answer is $7400000
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
There is no information is given about per unit cost or sales price hence, a reverse calculation is to be made to find out the projected total revenue.
Now,
The reverse calculation to find sales is computed as follows:
Begin from the expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost
Thus,
From the calculation of each term is as stated below:
1. The profit expected = 15% return on their investment. it is to be after tax return, total investment = $8000000,
So,
The Profit expected = $8000000 *15% = $1200000.
2. The tax xxpenses = 25% that is, it should be 25% on taxable profit which is decreased from it and then net profit after tax is available,
Thus,
we have net profit after tax we can compute the taxable profit as = $1200000 / 75% = $1600000. for example, tax amount on taxable profit = $160000 * 25% = $400000.
3. The Interest Expenses = 5% of borrowed fund from bank,
Now,
The borrowed fund from bank = $2000000 (8000000-6000000)
The expenses interest = $ 100000 ($2000000*5%)
4. Undistributed Expenses is stated as follows:
The Undistributed expenses are given in the question = $2000000.
5. Variable cost that is the labor cost and cost of food :
From the question it is given that it is 50% of the sales, which means the remaining 50% is the contribution.
Now
The contribution on reverse calculation is computed as:
Profit +taxes + Interest + fixed expenses
Contribution = 1200000 + 400000 + 100000 + 2000000 = $ 3700000,
Thus,
We say,let the sales be 10 , then variable cost be 50 and contribution is 50, that means variable cost = contribution in this case.
so, in proportional calculation , the variable cost = $3700000 .
Thus
The projected sales = expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost
The total revenue projected =$1200000+ $ 400000 + $100000 + $ 2000000 +$ 3700000
Therefore, the total revenue projected = $ 7400000

i. The owner's drawing account is increased with a ___________ .
Answer:
a Debit
b Credit
c Debit
d Credit
e Credit
f Credit
g Debit
h Debit
i Debit
Explanation:
The rules are that increase in assets such as cash account ,delivery equipment,accounts receivable are debited while the reverse is done for reduction in assets.
The increase in liability accounts and revenue such as accounts payable and revenue account delivery fees are normally credited while the reverse applies to decrease in liabilities.
The increase in expense is normally debited while the reduction in expense is a credit.
The increase in capital account is a credit
New World Deli exchanged land for a more suitable parcel of land to be used for a new restaurant. New World Deli reported the old land at its original cost of $85,000. According to an independent appraisal, the old land currently is worth $110,000. New World Deli paid $15,000 in cash to complete the transaction. Required:Record the exchange.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
New World Dell exchanged old land for new land.
In the exchange, the old land was considered to be worth $110,000 according to an independent appraisal and yet New World Dell still had to pay an additional $15,000 to get it. This means that the new land is valued at,
= 110,000 + 15,000
= $125,000
The old land was however recorded at cost for New Dell so the properly recording would be,
DR Land, New $125,000
CR Land, Old $85,000
CR Cash $15,000
CR Gain on Exchange $25,000
(To record Exchange of land)
There is a gain because the old land was valued at $25,000 more than New World Dell had valued it for themselves.
