Subject: Fixed Overhead and Plant D's Profit
Date: June 5, 2020
The above subject refers.
I wish to clarify the issue of fixed cost per unit. It is true that fixed cost per unit decreases with increased volume. It is also true that Plant D had much lower average fixed costs per roll $4.62 ($300,000/65,000) than Plants A's $6 ($300,000/50,000), B's $5.45 ($300,000/55,000) and even C's $5 ($300,000/60,000).
However, the issue of profit is not dependent on the fixed cost per unit alone. There are other variables. Profit is also determined by the variable cost per unit and the selling price. Since the four plants have the same selling price, we shall not consider selling price as a factor hence.
Therefore, note the variable cost per unit for each plant stated as follows: A = $3.90, B = $4.40, C= $4.97, and D = $5.42. This shows that it costs more per unit of variable cost to produce in Plant D. The difference will be explained by efficiencies in technology use, processing, quantity of materials used and wasted, and the number of labor hours spent in Plant D vis-a-vis other plants.
It is then necessary to review these variances as stated in order to explain why Plant D recorded a net loss of $2,000.
I hope that this issue has been clarified.
Regards,

Enviro Company issues 8%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $230,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 10%, which implies a selling price of 87 1/2. The straight-line method is used to allocate interest expense.1. Using the implied selling price of 87 ½, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds?2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?3. What is the amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
Cash proceeds is $201,250.00
Explanation:
The cash proceeds derived from issuing the bonds can be computed as follows:
cash proceeds=87.5%*$230,000=$201,250.00
Total interest expense on the bond is $212,519 as contained in the attached bond amortization schedule
The first payment=$201,250*10%*6/12=$10,063 as it also found in the attached

Answer:
$90,000; $45,000; $30,000.
Explanation:
In the United States of America, tax payers get reduction in the amount of taxes that they pay when taxpayers donate money to charity. The deductions in tax depends on the charity organization the tax payer is donating to and the kind of property the tax payer is donating.
Below is how it is been deducted;
(1). As regards to public charity, only 60% can be deducted from the adjusted gross income.
(2).As regards to Capital gain property contribution to public charity, only 30% can be deducted from the adjusted gross income.
(3). As regards to Capital gain property contribution to private non operating foundation, only 20% can be
In the question above, the adjusted gross income for the year will be = $150,000 deducted from the adjusted gross income.
Therefore, for (1). 60/100 × $150,000 = $90,000.
(2). 30/100 × 150,000 = $45,000.
(3). 20/100 × 150,000 = $ 30,000.
The wholesale cost box of 25 pieces of chocolate is 50 AEDYou decide to sel each bar of chocolate with a 20% profit plus 5% VAT tax Based on this information alone, how much will the cost of a single bar be? (2 Marks)
Answer:
Cost of a single bar = 2.52 AED (2.4 AED + 0.12 AED)
Explanation:
Cost of a box of 25 pieces of chocolate = 50 AED
Cost per bar for seller = 50 AED/25 = 2 AED
Selling price = 2.4 AED (2 AED * 1.2)
Plus 5% VAT = 0.12 AED (2.4 AED * 5%)
Cost of a single bar = 2.52 AED (2.4 AED + 0.12 AED)
b) The cost price to the seller is the cost of a box divided by the pieces or bars in the box, = 50 AED / 25 = 2AED
c) The cost price to the buyer is the selling price plus 5% VAT. This cost includes the seller's cost, profit, and VAT.

occurs when information is shared with some stockholders of the company and not with all of them.
a. Price per share
b. Underwriting
C. Capital gains
d. Insider corruption
e. Insider trading
Answer:
e. Insider trading.
Explanation:
Insider trading occurs when information is shared with some stockholders of the company and not with all of them.
According to the United States of America, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); Illegal Insider trading involves the "buying or selling of a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, on the basis of material, non-public information about the security."
In the stock exchange market, any information that possibly could impact an investor's decision substantially to buy or sell the security is known as material information while informations that is not legally available to the public is non-public information.
A potential investor who has access to insider information would definitely have an advantage or unfair edge over other investors, who obviously don't have same privileges, and could potentially make unfair-large profits.
U.S SEC is very much concerned with maintaining a fair marketplace, thus requiring that all transactions be timely submitted electronically.

Answer:
$4,850,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total contributed capital related to the ordinary shares is shown below:
= Ordinary share capital + share premium of ordinary share
= $4,300,000 + $550,000
= $4,850,000
We simply added the ordinary share capital and the share premium of ordinary shares so that the total contributed capital could arrive
The reported net incomes for the first 2 years of Sarasota Products, Inc., were as follows: 2020, $155,500; 2021, $188,100. Early in 2022, the following errors were discovered.
1. Depreciation of equipment for 2020 was overstated $15,900.
2. Depreciation of equipment for 2021 was understated $37,500.
3. December 31, 2020, inventory was understated $48,400.
4. December 31, 2021, inventory was overstated $15,800.
Prepare the correcting entry necessary when these errors are discovered. Assume that the books are closed.
Answer:
Dr retained earnings($21,600+$15,800) $37,400.00
Cr accumulated depreciation $21,600
Cr inventory $15,800
Explanation:
The errors that require adjustment are the overstatement and understatement of depreciation expense as well as the December 2021 overstatement of inventory.
The understatement of inventory in 2020 would have self-corrected itself in 2021 since closing inventory in 2020 deducted from costs of goods available for sale would be introduced as opening inventory in 2021.
net effect of depreciation=understatement -overstatement=$37,500-$15,900=$21,600.00
hence retained earnings would reduce by $21,600.00
for the overstatement of inventory,retained earnings would reduce by $15,800
Toan Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. In September the company completed job S80M that consisted of 23,000 units of one of the company's standard products. No other jobs were in process during the month. The job cost sheet for job S80M shows the following costs:
Beginning balance $ 66,700
Direct materials $494,500
Direct labor cost $158,700
Manufacturing overhead cost applied $269,100
During the month, the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $270,020 and 3,000 completed units from job S80M were sold. No other products were sold during the month.
The unadjusted cost of goods sold (in other words, the cost of goods sold BEFORE adjustment for any underapplied or overapplied overhead) for September is closest to:
Answer:
$129,000
Explanation:
The computation of the unadjsuted cost of goods sold is shown below:
Before that we need to compute the total cost and cost per unit which are as follows
Total cost
= Beginning balance + Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead cost applied
= $66,700 + $494,500 + $158,700 + $269,100
= $989,000
And, Units completed is 23,000 units
So, the cost per unit is
= Total cost ÷ Number of units completed
= $989,000 ÷ 23,000 units
= $43
And, the number of units sold is 3,000 units
So, the cost of good sold unadjusted is
= Number of units sold × cost per unit
= 3,000 units × $43
= $129,000

Why do you think government bonds usually have a low risk of default?
Answer:
In particular, the explanation government bonds being viewed as a secure option for investment is that they are guaranteed by the administration's absolute faith and confidence. Most shareholders are convinced government of the country won't default itself on debt trustees commitments.

KAPC, a pharmaceutical company located in rural Kansas, is finding it difficult to retain its employees, who frequently leave after just six months of working at KAPC for jobs at pharmaceutical companies paying higher wages in Chicago. To address its problem with labor turnover, human resource officers at KAPC decide to run an experiment. Of their next 100 newly hired employees, 25 will randomly be selectedto receive a housing voucher worth up to $4,000 per year to offset property taxes. To take advantage of this program, the employee must not only be randomly selected into the program but she must also purchase a home. Of the 25 employees selected into the housing voucher program, 7 leave KAPC within 12 months of starting. Of the 75 employees not selected into the program, 37 leave KAPC within 12 months of starting.
a. Provide an estimate of the effect the housing voucher program has on retention at KAPC.
b. Suppose KAPC spends $10,000 in hiring costs each time a position is vacated. Would you endorse expanding the housing voucher program to all new employees? Justify your decision.
Answer: a) Positive Effect.
b) No.
Explanation:
a) Out of the 25 that were offered the housing program, 7 left in the first year after starting.
This proportion goes to,
= 7/25
= 28%
Only 28% of people left when offered the housing program.
When people were not offered the housing program, 37 left in the first year out of 75.
That means the proportion of those who left is,
= 37/75
= 49%.
When people were not offered the programme, 49% of them left. This means that offering the program reduces the turnover rate by 21% which means that it has a positive effect.
b) No it would be more expensive to expand it to everyone.
Currently, the total cost of hiring and offering the program the company is going through is,
= (4,000 * 25 people ) + (10,000 * 7 for those who still left ) + (10,000 * 37 for those who left with no housing plan)
= 100,000 + 70,000 + 370,000
= $540,000
If it is expanded to everyone then the following costs are incurred,
28% of the 100 would still leave even after offered the programme so the company would have to spend to replace them.
= (100 * 4,000 if all Employees offered) + (28 * 10,000 to replace employees that will still leave)
= 400,000 * 280,000
= $680,000
Expanding the program is more expensive than keeping it as it is. They should therefore not expanded it.

Western, Inc. is a technology consulting firm focused on Web site development and integration of Internet business applications. The president of the company expects to incur $ 640,000 of indirect costs this year, and she expects her firm to work 4,000 direct labor hours. Western's systems consultants provide direct labor at a rate of $ 280 per hour. Clients are billed at 160% of direct labor cost. Last month, Western's consultants spent 170 hours on Halbert's engagement.
Compute Western's predetermined overhead allocation rate per direct labor hour.
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $160 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $640,000
Estimated direct labor hours= 4,000
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 640,000/4,000
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $160 per direct labor hour
On January 1, Jackson, Inc.'s WorkminusinminusProcess Inventory account showed a balance of $ 66 comma 000. During the year, materials requisitioned for use in production amounted to $ 71 comma 700, of which $ 66 comma 000 represented direct materials. Factory wages for the period were $ 208 comma 000 of which $ 187 comma 000 were for direct labor. Manufacturing overhead is allocated on the basis of 60% of direct labor cost. Actual overhead was $ 116 comma 110. Jobs costing $ 353 comma 110 were completed during the year. The December 31 balance in WorkminusinminusProcess Inventory is
Answer:
$78,090
Explanation:
The solution of ending balance is provided below:-
Ending balance = Beginning balance + Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead - Transfer to finished goods inventory
= $66,000 + $66,000 + $187,000 + ($187,000 × 60%) - $353,110
= $66,000 + $66,000 + $187,000 + $112,200 - $353,110
= $431,200 - $353,110
= $78,090
Therefore, we have calculated ending balance by using the above formula.
Consider a Swiss subsidiary (Swiss AS) of a US firm, Kendall Systems. The current exchange rate is $0.80/SF. Swiss AS sells 6 million units, of which 3 million are sold at home and 3 million are exported selling at SF15/unit. It has fixed overhead costs of SF 6 million and direct costs (labor, raw material, etc.) of SF 10/unit. The firms has a straight line depreciation of SF 1 million each year and has a tax rate of 30%.
As a result of sudden depreciation of SF from $0.80/SF to $0.75/$, prices remain same at home (SF15 / unit) but there is an increase in export prices to SF20 / unit). Costs remain same.

Answer:
Explanation:
Solution :- (A)
(1) :- Book value per share = Total Assets / Total Number of Shares
Total Assets = ( $42 * 8,000,000 ) + $50,000,000 = $386,000,000
Total No. of Shares = ( $50,000,000 / 34 ) + 800,000 = 9,470,588.24
Book Value per share = $386,000,000 / 9,470,588.24
= $40.76
(2)
New Total Earnings = Current Net Income + Additional Income
= $4,700,000 + 800,000
= $5,500,000
(3)
New EPS = New Earnings / New total number of shares
= $5,500,000 / 9,470,588.24
= $0.581
(4)
New Price of Stock =
Old EPS = 4,700,000 / 8,000,000 = 0.5875
New Price = P/E Ratio * New EPS
= ( 34 / 0.5875 ) * 0.5807
= $33.61
(5) New Market to Book Ratio
= Market price / Book Value
= $33.61 / $40.76
= 0.825 times
(b)
Net Income = EPS old * Total New number of shares
= $0.5875 * 9,470,588
= $5,563,970.45

Answer:
$8,318,333
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average accumulated expenditure is shown below:
Date Amount Capitalization period Weighted Average Accumulated Expenditures
Mar 1 $6,300,000 10 months $5,250,000 ($6,300,000 × 10 months ÷ 12 months)
Jun 1 $5,260,000 7 months $3,068,333.33 ($5,260,000 × 7 months ÷ 12 months)
Dec 31 $8,450,000 0 months $0
Total $8,318,333
We simply multiplied the amount with the capitalization period so that the weighted average accumulated expenditure could come
the production manager for the coory soft drink company is considering the production of 2 kinds of soft drinks: regular (R) and diet(D). two of the limited resources are production time 480 minutes per day and sytrum limited to 675 gallons per day. to produce a regular case requires 2 minutes and 5 gallons of syrup, while a diet case needs 4 minutes and 3 gallons of syrup, products for regular soft drink are $3.00 per case and profits for diet soft drink are $2.00 per case. What is the time constraint
Answer:
The time constraint is that you have only 480 minutes available per day to produce either type of soda.
In this case, if you are going to base your production schedule on your time constraint, then you should produce only regular sodas (240 cases). Each case of regular sodas generates $1.50 per minute of machine hour used. While a case of diet soda generates only $0.50 per minute of machine hour. Total revenue generated from he production of regular soda would be $720. If you would produce diet soda, total revenue would be $240.
The problem you face is the materials constraint (syrup), which will allow you to produce only 135 cases of regular soda and 0 cases of diet soda. Total revenue = $405, which is still higher than the revenue generated from diet soda ($240).
Explanation:
2 kinds of soft drinks:
regular (R) diet(D)production time 480 minutes per day
syrup limited to 675 gallons per day
regular case requires 2 minutes and 5 gallons of syrup, while a diet case needs 4 minutes and 3 gallons of syrup
price:
regular $3diet $2regular diet
sales price $3 $2
syrup gallons required 5 3
revenue per syrup gallon $0.60 $0.67
production time required 2 4
revenue per px time $1.50 $0.50

Miracle Pill. Katie advertised that she had developed a pill for women that would result in weight loss, wrinkle loss, and improved vitality; and for men would result in all those things, plus hair growth. Her television advertisement showed miracle results allegedly obtained by consumers. Katie cautioned, however, that ingestion of the pill for six months was required before results would be evident. The pill was wildly popular. The Federal Trade Commission, however, investigated and determined that Katie had failed to have a reasonable basis for the claims she made in advertisements. Katie claimed that she was merely involved in the use of generalities and clear exaggerations. The Federal Trade Commission disagreed and issued a formal administrative complaint against her. After a hearing, the Federal Trade Commission issued an order requiring that Katie stop advertising and selling the pills. After losing all appeals, Katie continued selling the pills until she was fined by the Federal Trade Commission. She has since left the country and cannot be located.
