Annenbaum Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 1,400 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were:
Cost Percent Complete
Materials costs $6,700 65%
Conversion costs $7,800 45%
A total of 8,500 units were started and 6,900 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month:
Cost
Materials costs $126,500
Conversion costs $208,000
The ending inventory was 50% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to conversion costs. The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the first department for the month is closest to:_____.
a. $18.42.
b. $19.02.
c. $19.91.
d. $17.60.
Answer: $27.14
Explanation:
First find the ending inventory:
= Beginning inventory + Units started - units transferred
= 1,400 + 8,500 - 6,900
= 3,000 units
Conversion EUP = Units transferred + (50% * ending inventory)
= 6,900 + (35% * 3,000)
= 7,950 units
Conversion cost per EUP:
= (Beginning conversion cost + month conversion cost) / EUP
= (7,800 + 208,000) / 7,950
= $27.14

The daily cost of producing pizza in New Haven is C(Q) = 4Q + (Q2/40); the marginal cost is MC = 4 + (Q/20). There are no avoidable fixed costs. What is the market supply function if there are 10 firms making pizza? If 20 firms are making pizza? What is the market supply curve under free entry? [HINT: As the first step, find the AC and show that AC is at its minimum when Q = 0.]
Answer:
[tex]q_{10}[/tex] = 200P - 800
[tex]q_{20}[/tex] = 400P - 1600
Explanation:
let the supply function be : P = MC
P = 4 + Q/20
therefore Q = 20P - 80 ( supply function )
For 10 firms
Q = 10( 20P - 80 ) = 200P - 800
for 20 firms
Q = 20(20P - 80 ) = 400P - 1600
next determine market supply curve under free entry
AC = 4 + Q/40
Hence ; when Q = 0 , AC = 4 and this is for unlimited number of firms

Cindy's apartment complex is offering renters insurance through their insurance company. The insurance company charges an annual premium of $565.00 which can be paid in equal payments throughout the year with her monthly rent. Cindy's monthly rent is currently $789.00. What will Cindy's new rent be if she includes the renters insurance?
Answer:
$836.08 per month
Explanation:
In order to calculate Cindy's new monthly rent, we would simply need to divide the renter's insurance by 12 since there are 12 months in a year. and then add that product to her monthly rent like so...
565.00 / 12 = 47.08
789 + 47.08 = 836.08
Finally, we can see that Cindy's new rent after including the renters insurance would be $836.08 per month

Cincinnati Exporters wants to raise $40 million to expand its business. To accomplish this, it plans to sell 22-year, $1,000 face value, semiannual coupon bonds. The bonds will be priced to yield 6.85 percent and coupon rate of 5.72 percent. What is the minimum number of bonds it must sell to raise the money it needs
Answer:
Minimum number of units to be issued = 45,791.4 units
Explanation:
The units of the bonds to be sold to raise the money equals to the price of the bonds divided by the sum to be raised
The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value
The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payment
Semi-annual coupon rate = 5.72/2 = 2.86 %
Semi-annual Interest payment =( 2.86 %×$1000)= $28.6
Semi annual yield = 6.85%/2 = 3.42%
PV of interest payment
= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- interest payment, r- yield -3.42%, n- no of periods- 2 × 22 = 44 periods
= 28.6× (1-(1.0342)^(-44)/0.0342)= 645.82
Step 2
PV of redemption value (RV)
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - redemption value- $1000, n- 7, r- 4.5%
= 1,000 × (1+0.0342)^(-2×22)
= 1000 × 1.0342^(-44)= 227.7
Step 3
Price of bond = PV of interest payment + PV of RV
645.82 + 227.7= 873.525
Minimum number of units to be issued = $40 million/873.5= 45,791.4 units
Minimum number of units to be issued = 45,791.4 units
The cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of the Mountain Springs Water Company is $1,098,900. The conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $603,000. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 33,300 liters and 6,700 liters, respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion cost per equivalent unit.
Answer:
direct materials = $33.00
conversion cost = $90.00
Explanation:
Cost per equivalent unit = Cost during the period ÷ Equivalent units of Production
The direct materials and conversion cost per equivalent unit.
Direct materials = $1,098,900 ÷ 33,300 liters = $33.00
Conversion cost = $603,000 ÷ 6,700 liters = $90.00
Amrik started a business on 1 January 2017 and purchased a machine costing $18 000. He decided to depreciate the machine at 20% per annum using the reducing (diminishing) balance method. No depreciation was to be charged in the year of disposal. The machine was up sold for \$13 30 300 on 1 July 2018. What was the profit or loss on the sale of the machine? A Loss $1100 B Loss $4700 C Profit $1780 D Profit $2500 ОА Ов Ос OD
Answer: A. Loss $1,100
Explanation:
Value at the end of the first year after depreciation:
= 18,000 * (1 - 20%)
= $14,400
No depreciation was charged in the year of sale which is 2018 so only a year of depreciation applies.
Profit (loss) = Sales price - Net book value
= 13,300 - 14,400
= -$1,100

Month-end & Year-end process helps to write-off bad debts.
Select one:
True
O False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
It is FALSE that Month-end and Year-end process helps to write-off bad debts.
This is because both month-end and year-end processes are processes specifically carried out to adjust all account balances to make and depict the actual financial activities of the firm. This assists the firm's management team to make a further decision, but not to just write-off bad debts.
Bad debt is written off only when a customer invoice is deemed to be uncollectible.
Last year, a small nation with abundant forests cut down $200 worth of trees. $100 worth of trees was then turned into $150 worth of lumber. $100 worth of that lumber was used to produce $250 worth of bookshelves. Assuming the country produces no other outputs, and there are no other inputs used in the production of trees, lumber, and bookshelves, what is this nation's GDP
Answer:
$400
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
Inventory grew by (200 - 100) $100
$50 of value was created
total gdp = $100 + $250 + 50 = $400
Bellue Incorporated manufactures a single product. Variable costing net operating income was $92,400 last year and its inventory decreased by 3,100 units. Fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $1 per unit for both units in beginning and in ending inventory. What was the absorption costing net operating income last year
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
Bellue incorporated manufactures a single product
The variable costing net operating income is $92,400
The inventory is 3100 units
The fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $1
Therefore the absorption cost can be calculated as follows
= 9200-1 x3200
= 9200- 3200
= 6000
Hence the absorption cos is $6,000

Winston Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $478,800. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 26,600 hours. The total machine hours for the year were 54,000 hours. The actual factory overhead for the year was $986,000. Enter the amount as a positive number.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 478,800 / 26,600
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 18*54,000
Allocated MOH= $972,000
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 986,000 - 972,000
Underallocated overhead= $14,000
Which of the following increases the equilibrium price of a used car and decreases the equilibrium quantity? an announcement by the U.S. Attorney General that the windows on older cars were made with cheaper glass that can explode at high speeds new federal legislation that raises the legal driving age to twenty-four in all states a new fee that used car dealers must pay to the government on all sales of used cars all of the above because each is consistent with the "law of demand"
A market-clearing price, often referred to as an equilibrium price, is the consumer cost associated with a good or service when supply and demand are equal or nearly equal. Hence quantity will increase .
What is Equilibrium price and quantity ?The manufacturer or vendor is free to transfer as many units as they like, and the consumer is free to access as many units as they like.
Economic equilibrium in economics refers to a scenario where supply and demand are balanced and the values of economic variables do not change in the absence of external factors.
The only price at which consumer and producer preferences coincide is the equilibrium price; in other words, the price at which consumers want to purchase the same quantity of the good (quantity demanded) as producers do.Manufacturers want to sell (quantity supplied).
The equilibrium quantity is that amount that both parties seek equally. Any other price causes the market to be out of equilibrium since the amount requested does not match the quantity supplied. From the previous explanations of surpluses and shortages, it should be obvious that if a market is out of equilibrium, market forces will drive it into equilibrium.

Each month's ending Finished Goods Inventory in units should be 40% of the next month's sales. March 31 Finished Goods inventory is 96 units. A finished unit requires five pounds of direct material B at a cost of $2.00 per pound. The March 31 Raw Materials Inventory has 200 pounds of direct material B. Each month's ending Raw Materials Inventory should be 30% of the following month's production needs. The budgeted purchases of pounds of direct material B during May should be:_________.
a. 1,008 lbs.
b. 1,854 lbs.
c. 1,422 lbs.
d. 276 lbs.
e. 288 lbs.
Answer:
Purchases= 1,854 pounds
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 280*5 + (300*0.4)*5= 2,000 pounds
Desired ending inventory= [(300*0.6)*5* + (240*0.4)*5]*0.3= 414 pounds
beginning inventory= (280*0.4)*5= (560) pounds
Purchases= 1,854 pounds
Organizers of an outdoor summer concert in Toronto are concerned about the weather conditions on the day of the concert. They will make a profit of $42,000 on a clear day and $12,000 on a cloudy day. They will make a loss of $6,000 if it rains. The weather channel has predicted a 52% chance of rain on the day of the concert. Calculate the expected profit from the concert if the likelihood is 11% that it will be sunny and 37% that it will be cloudy.
Answer:
$5,940
Explanation:
Calculation for the expected profit
Expected profit= (42,000*0.11)+(12,000*0.37)+(-6,000*0.52)
Expected profit=4,620+4,440+(-3,120)

A multinational engineering consulting firm that wants to provide resort accommodations to special clients is considering the purchase of a three-bedroom lodge in upper Montana that will cost $220,000. The property in that area is rapidly appreciating in value because people anxious to get away from urban developments are bidding up the prices. If the company spends an average of $400 per month for utilities and the investment increases at a rate of 0.75% per month, how long would it be before the company could sell the property for $100,000 more than it has invested in it

You have just purchased a municipal bond with a $10,000 par value for $9,500. You purchased it immediately after the previous owner received a semi-annual interest payment. The bond rate is 6.6% per year payable semi-annually. You plan to hold the bond for 4 years, selling the bond immediately after you receive the interest payment. If your desired nominal yield is 3% per year compounded semi-annually, what will be your minimum selling price for the bond?
Answer:
Minimum selling price for the bond = $11350.38
Explanation:
Given - You have just purchased a municipal bond with a $10,000 par
value for $9,500. You purchased it immediately after the previous
owner received a semi-annual interest payment. The bond rate is
6.6% per year payable semi-annually. You plan to hold the bond for
4 years, selling the bond immediately after you receive the interest
payment. If your desired nominal yield is 3% per year compounded
semi-annually.
To find - What will be your minimum selling price for the bond?
Proof -
Formula for Bond value is -
Bond value = [tex]\frac{Coupon Amount}{( 1+ Interest rate)^{1} } + \frac{Coupon Amount}{( 1+ Interest rate)^{2} } + \frac{Coupon Amount}{( 1+ Interest rate)^{3} } + .....\frac{Coupon Amount}{( 1+ Interest rate)^{n} }[/tex]
As given,
Coupon Rate = 6.6%
⇒Coupon Rate for semi-annual = 3.3%
and hereby time period becomes double i.e 8 years.
Now,
Interest rate = 3%
For semi-annual , interest = 1.5%
Now,
Coupon amount = 10,000×3.3% = 330
Now,
Bond value = 330 ×PVIF(1.5% , 8) + 10,000×IVAF(1.5%, 8)
= 330×7.486 + 10,000×0.888
= 11350.38
∴ we get
Minimum selling price for the bond = $11350.38
