Answer:
$3,120 U
$480 U
$2,640 U
$142 F
$262 F
$120 U
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Total material variance = Actual cost - Standard cost
= $6,240 - (260 × 5 × 2.4)
= $3,120 U
Material Price Variance = (Actual quantity × Actual rate) - (Actual quantity-standard rate)
= $6,240 - (2,400 × 2.4)
= $480 U
Material Quantity Variance = Standard rate × (actual quantity used - standard quantity)
= 2.4 × (2,400 - (260×5))
= $2,640 U
Total Labor variance = Actual cost - Standard cost
= $15,458 - (260 × 12 × 5)
= 142 F
Labor price variance = (Actual hour × actual rate) - (actual hours × standard rate)
= $15,458 - ($1,310 × 12)
= $262 F
Labor efficiency variance = Standard cost × (Actual hrs used - Standard hours)
= 12 × (1,310 - (260 × 5))
= $120 U
We simply applied the above formulas
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.

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.

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.
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.
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
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

Butler Corporation is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $45,000. 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

If you could get 1,000 shares in Woods and 1,000 shares in Speith, what would your profit be? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. What profit do you actually expect? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Profit is equal to $7000
Expected profit is equal to $1500
Explanation:
Number of shares = 1000
Undervalued amount = $11
Overvalued amount = $4
Profit received by both the stocks is equal to
Profit = shares ×undervalued amount - shares × overvalued amount
[tex]=1000\times 11-1000\times 4[/tex]
=$7000
Expected profit is equal to
[tex]=\frac{1000}{2}\times 11-1000\times 4[/tex]
= $1500

A 3-year interest rate swap has a level notional amount of $300,000. Each settlement period is one year and the variable rate is the one-year spot interest rate at the beginning of the settlement period. The current spot rate is determined by the following prices for zero-coupon bonds with $1 face amount:
Time of Maturity 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year
Price 0.97 0.93 0.88 0.82 0.75
Required:
a. Calculate the swap rate.
b. Caleulate the net swap payment at the end of the first year.
c. One year has elapsed and the one-year spot interest rate at the start of year 2 is 4.45%. Calculate the net swap payment at the end of the second year for the payer.
d. Two years have elapsed and the one-year spot interest rate at the start of year three is 5.25 Calculate the market value of the swap.
Answer:
(a)0.04317 (b) 3672 which will be paid by the payer to the receiver (c) -399. so, the 399 which will be paid by the receiver to the payer (d) 2659.38
Explanation:
Solution
(a) Swap Rate (R) = (1 - P₃)/(P₁+P₂+P₃)
= (1 – 0.88)/(0.97 + 0.93 + 0.88)
= 0.04317
(b) The payer pays the fixed interest rate and gets the variable interest rate.
Then, the fixed interest rate is known as the swap rate which is 4.317%.
Now,
The variable rate is the one year spot rate for the first year of the loan. which is r₁ = 1/P₁ -1 = 1/0.97 - 1 = 0.03093
Thus,
The net swap payment becomes (300,000)(0.04317) - (300,000)(0.03093) = 3672 which will be paid by the payer to the receiver.
(c) The payer pays the fixed interest rate and receives the variable interest rate. The fixed interest rate is the swap rate which is 4.317%.
Thus,
The variable rate is the one year spot rate for the second year of the loan is 4.45%.
So,
The net swap payment becomes (300,000)(0.04317) - (300,000)(0.04450) = -399.
Therefore, the 399 which will be paid by the receiver to the payer.
(d) The market value is the present value of expected future cash flows. under this swap, the variable rate has been swapped for the constant swap rate. There is one year left under the swap.
Then,
The expectation is that the swap owner will pay (300,000)(0.04317) and receive (300,000)(0.0525). these payments would be made at the end of one year. Therefore, the market value will be:
{(300,000)(0.0525) - (300,000)(0.04317)}/1.0525 = 2799/1.0525 = 2659.38
In recent years, banks have encouraged their customers to save by giving incentives to join programs that automatically transfer money from checking accounts to savings accounts. For example, a bank might offer to round debit transactions to the nearest dollar, transferring the change to one's savings account, and then boost this amount with a match of a certain amount. Although these programs were intended to encourage customers to save, some economists are not very enthusiastic about these programs. Which of these describe why the economists would be concerned? a. Economists fear that saving money would trigger consumers to spend more in the near future. b. The program was offered during an expansionary time period; consumers were not worried about saving their money. c. Some economists believe the automatic transfers could lead to overdrafts. d. Economists believe consumers would not be willing to transfer the money from their checking account to their savings account.
Answer:
The correct answer is the economists believe consumers would not be willing to transfer the money from their checking account to their savings account.
Explanation:
From the given question, the statements that best describe why the economists would be concerned is that, the economists believe consumers would not be willing to transfer the money from their checking account to their savings account.
In recent times, bank have encouraged it's customers to join programs that would be of benefit to them such as transferring money automatically from their checking accounts to savings. these programs was designed to benefit he customers into saving money, but economists had this believe that customers might not be willingly to transfer money into their savings account from the checking account which might have resulted to doubt and trust for the bank.
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
Carns Company is considering eliminating its small tools division, which reported an operating loss for the recent year of $85,000. Division sales for the year were $1,310,000 and its variable costs were $1,175,000. The fixed costs of the division were $220,000. If the kitchen division is dropped, 45% of the fixed costs allocated it could be eliminated. The impact on Carns’s operating income from eliminating the small tools division would be:
Answer:
$36,000
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Current Loss = $85,000
If we don't consider division, then 45% of fixed cost cab be eliminated and remaining 55% of fixed cost is considered.
Fixed cost to be applied
= $220,000 × 55%
= $121,000
Enhancing in operating loss when division is eliminated
= $121,000 - $85,000
= $36,000
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.
Identify the relevant total quality management (TQM) technique
When a defense company needed to create quality software, they brought representatives from the Quality Assurance (QA) group in to work with software and systems engineers. The QA group found that peer reviews were the best way to catch software bugs, and they shared their knowledge with the head of software engineering. Working together with the engineers, the QA group started a system of peer reviews and formal inspections, and together, the group decreased the number of problems in the software the company produced.
A. Quality partnering
B. Continuous improvement
C. Quality circle
D. Benchmarking
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
In simple words, Quality partnership and strategic partnership render the industrial sector with a great intersection for cooperative relationships. Partnership is important for the overall product primarily because the consumer decides the price in the industry.
Dynamic collaboration between companies provides for ongoing development of procedures and goods, client-supplier partnerships and consumer loyalty. External collaboration within an company may strengthen partnerships within an organisation between the staff and divisions.
Bob is a recognized french horn player. Bob has played for several major symphonies. Last year Bob went through bankruptcy and in order to pay his rent for a couple of months took out loans from a small bank - Avarice Bank - and pledged his french horn as collateral. He was unable to make the first payment on the loan so the bank was getting ready to take the french horn for non-payment. Bob approached the director of the Gilroy Philarmonic International Symphony - Joe - for help - asking him to guarantee payment so he does not lose his french horn. Joe agreed to guarantee the payment - partially because Bob is scheduled as the featured performer at the Classic Polka Festival in Gilroy which Joe manages. Joe called Avarice Bank and said if Bob could not pay, he would, and Avarice accepted his guaranty by phone. Bob played for the Polka Festival (it was very successful), but immediately after, left town and his whereabouts are unknown. Avarice has contacted Joe and indicated they have not collected from Bob and they expect Joe to pay the debt. Joe told Avarice they did not have anything in writing from him (though there are witnesses who heard Joe guarantee payment) and he believes he will not be liable for Bob's debt. Avarice has indicated it will file suit for payment against Joe. I
nstructions: Answer the following questions about this case:
Issue: What is the legal issue/dispute? (Be specific. Don’t just say Contract Law)
Decision: Who should prevail?
Support: Provide support for your decision. Describe what the law says about situations like this, and how it applies to this case.
Answer:
In this case, we analysed three problems, which are The issue, The decision and The support.
The issue of the dispute was does guarantee on phone for payment debt) valid and enforceable in the court of law.
The decision was centered on whether a contract is needed to be in writing and if it should bear the signatures of both parties in order for it to be enforceable.
The support centered on the assurance of the repayment of debt contract in which authorities the creditor to get back the money from the guarantor, if the debtor fails on payment.
Explanation:
Solution
The Issue : Does guarantee on phone for a debt payment is valid and enforceable in a court of law.
Decision : The guarantee is a contract and needs to be in writing and should bear the signatures of the parties in order to be enforceable. In this case, the guarantee for the debt repayment by Bob was given by Joe on phone, which does not fulfill the requirement of the contract to be enforceable.Hence the bank would not succeed in claiming payments from Joe.
Support : Guarantee for repayment of debt is a contract that authorities the creditor to recover the money from the guarantor if the debtor defaults on payment. However, the guarantee contract should be in writing ( in legal systems of most of the countries) and should be signed by the guarantor. In absence of a written contract and signature of the guarantor, the contract can't be enforced in a court of law, which is in this case. The bank should have insisted only on the written and signed consent of guarantee from Joe. As it did not, it can't hold him liable for the breach of guarantee contract.
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.
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

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
4. Payroll related expense does not come into picture in this question. So it is not answered.
Charlie Company had $1,800 of supplies on hand at January 1. During the year, supplies with a cost of $4,000 were purchased. At December 31, the actual supplies on hand amount to $1,300. After the adjustments are recorded and posted at December 31, determine the balances in the Supplies and Supplies Expense accounts.
Supplies Supplies Expense
a. $1,300 $4,500
b. $5,300 $5,800
c. $1,300 $5,800
d. $1,800 $4,500
Answer:
The correct option is A:
Supplies Supplies Expense
$1,300 $4,500
Explanation:
The amount of supplies used in the month is the opening balance of supplies at the beginning of the month plus purchases of supplies minus closing balance of supplies at month end.
supplies used=supplies expense=$1,800+$4,000-$1,300=$ 4,500.00
As a result of the above computation,supplies expense would be debited with $4,500 reflecting the cost of supplies made use of in the month while supplies inventory is debited with closing balance of $1,300.
Answer:
A. $1,300 $4,500
Explanation:
The balance of the Supply is $1,300 "which is the actual supplies on hand amount to $1300"
The supplies expenses amount is
= ($1800 + $4000) - $1300
=$7100
