Prepare the journal entry to allocate (close) overapplied or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Actual costs = $11,800(indirect material + $55,600(indirect labor) + $16,000(other overhead costs) = $83,400(actual cost)

$91,400(overhead applied) - $83,400(actual cost) = Overhead applied is greater than the actual cost which means that overhead was over applied by $8,000

2. Debit: Manufacturing overhead $8,000

______ Credit: Cost of goods sold $8,000

3. Actual costs = $6,700(indirect material) + $45,900(indirect labor) + $49,900(other overhead costs) = $102,500

$96,700(overhead applied) - $102,000(actual costs) = Overhead applied is less than the actual costs which means that overhead was under applied by $5,800

4. Debit : Cost of goods sold $5,800

A firm is considering a project requiring an investment of $30,000. The project would generate an annual cash flow of $7,251 for the next six years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation with no mid-year convention. Ignore income taxes. The approximate internal rate of return for the project is: __________

a.11%.
b.10%.
c.12%.
d.9%.

Answers

Answer:

c.12%

Explanation:

PVF of  12% for 6 years is 4.11

PVFof 11% for 6 years is 4.23

Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 7251*4.11

Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 29801.61

Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 7251*4.23

Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 30671.73

Internal rate of return = 11% + (30671.73 - 30000)/(30671.73-29801.61)

Internal rate of return = 11.7719969659%

Internal rate of return = 11.772%

On January 1, DogMart Company purchased a two-year liability insurance policy for $32400 cash. The purchase was recorded to Prepaid Insurance. How much would be the January 31 amount recorded to expense (use two decimals)?

Answers

A 22-year old college student has been promised a $1 million check at this 50thbirthday (28years from today). What is the present value of the $1 million today assuming an interest rate of 5%

Answers

Answer:

$255,093.64

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the present value of $1 million today

Using Financial calculator

PV = PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)

Where,

FV = $1,000,000

Annual Interest rate = 5%

Number of periods = 28

Let plug in the formula

PV = PV (5%, 28, 0, -1000000, 0)

PV= $255093.64

Therefore the Present value of $1 million today is $255,093.64

Income tax expense is per year based on a tax rate of What the payback period for the new machine

Answers

Answer:

3 years and 8 months

Explanation:

The payback period is the length of time that it takes for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment of the project.

Initial investment = $ 63,000

Cash flow :

Sales                                                                        $ 17,500

Less Expenses                                                        ($6,500)

Add Depreciation ($ 63,000 ÷ 10)                           $6,300

Annual Cash flow                                                    $17,300

thus,

It takes 3 years and 8 months ($11,100/$17,300 x 12) for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment for the new machine.

What balance will be assigned to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheet if Holmes Company pays $90,000 to acquire 75 percent ownership in Reuben and goodwill of $20,000 is reported

Answers

Answer:

$30,000

Explanation:

Fair value of equity = Fair value of Assets - Fair value of liabilities

Fair value of equity = $150,000 - $50,000

Fair value of equity = $100,000

Holmes Company pays $75,000 to acquire 75% of Equity

Holmes Company pays $15,000 for 75% of goodwill

Non controlling interest = 25% of Equity + 25% of Goodwill

Non controlling interest = 0.25*($100,000) + 0.25*($20000)

Non controlling interest = $25,000 + $5,000

Non controlling interest = $30,000

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 5 years ago for $9,639,708 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,650,288. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $810,081, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $6,880,840 million to build, and the site requires $529,656 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

Answers

Answer:

the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784

Explanation:

The computation of the proper cash flow amount is shown below:

= land value + plant value + grading value

= $3,650,288 + 6,880,840 + $529,656

= $11,060,784

Hence, the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784

If a company sells its smart phones for $400 and the phones have a COGS of $250, how many additional phones would the company have to sell if it decided to spend an extra $150,000 on advertising to promote the phones

Answers

Answer:

Units to be sold= 1,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $400

COGS= $250

Increase in costs= $150,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold to cover the incremental costs, we need to use the following formula:

Units to be sold= increase in costs/ contribution margin per unit

Units to be sold= 150,000 / (400 - 250)

Units to be sold= 1,000

Reliability is how long an item or system will perform its function before it breaks. Good reliability will ______________________. Decrease logistics support requirements Increase life cycle sustainment costs Decrease system readiness Increase manpower waste

Answers

Answer:

Decrease logistics support requirements.

Explanation:

Decrease logistics support requirements is the correct answer because the increase in reliability decreases the requirement to correct the commodity or equipment. Therefore, the logistic support decreases which further decreases the manpower waste. Additionally, the good reliability shows that the product's quality is good and it will work efficiently for a longer time period. Thus, a good quality product requires less logistic support.

Reliability is a quality of being trustworthy and in performing constantly well. It result in measurement and calculations and tends to be more accurate.

Thus there is a decrease in logistics support requirements. When the system function before it breaks. Good reliability will always support the system.
