At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 26,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 76,000 units and transferred 86,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 16,000 units in inventory, 90% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
Answer:
materials = 100,400 units and conversion = 95,600 units
Explanation:
Computation of the equivalent units of production for materials
Units completed and transferred (86,000 × 100%) = 86,000
Units in Ending Work In Process (16,000 × 90%) = 14,400
Total equivalent units of production for materials = 100,400
Computation of the equivalent units of production for conversion cost
Units completed and transferred (86,000 × 100%) = 86,000
Units in Ending Work In Process (16,000 × 60%) = 9,600
Total equivalent units of production for Conversion cost = 95,600

A coupon bond pays annual interest, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 4 years, has a coupon rate of 10%, and has a yield to maturity of 12%. The current yield on this bond is
Answer:
The answer is 10.65 percent
Explanation:
We first find the curren price of the bond
N(Number of periods) = 4 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 12 percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $100 (10 percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 4; I/Y = 12; PMT = 100; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -939.25
The market price of the bond is $939.25
Therefore, the current yield on this bond is 100/939.25
= 0.1065
Expressed as a percentage
10.65 percent

Baden Corporation entered into a lease agreement for 100 photocopy machines for its corporate headquarters. The lease agreement qualifies as an operating lease except there is a bargain purchase option. After the 5-year lease term, the corporation can purchase each copier for $1,000, when the anticipated fair value is $2,500. Jerry Suffolk, the financial vice president, thinks the financial statements must recognize the lease agreement as a finance lease because of the bargain purchase option. The controller, Diane Buchanan, disagrees: "Although I don’t know much about the copiers themselves, there is a way to avoid recording the lease liability." She argues that the corporation might claim that the copier technology advances rapidly and that by the end of the lease term, the machines will most likely not be worth the $1,000 bargain price.
(a) What ethical issue is at stake?
(b) Should the controller’s argument be accepted if she does not really know much about copier technology? Would it make a difference if the controller were knowledgeable about the rate of change in copier technology?
(c) What should Suffolk do?
Answer:
Answer is explained below
Explanation:
A)
The ethical issue at stake is whether to record the lease agreement for 100 photocopy machine as a finance lease or operating lease because in operating lease we don't record it as asset or liability in financial statements but in finance lease, we record both asset and liability generally at the present value of rentals payments. As the bargain option is available this lease agreement will be said to be a finance lease agreement.
B)
No without knowing much about the copier technology the argument of controller should not be accepted.
C)
Suffolk should represent lease as a financial lease but he can get the terms of lease revised as to the fair value of copier revised after the proper analysis and computation of copier value.
ou are using earned value analysis to track your project's progress. In your project, earned value is higher than planned value and actual value. That means the project is _____ schedule and _____ budget.
Answer:
B. ahead of; under
Explanation:
Earned value analysis is the process to check the status of the project and the analysis, evaluation is to be done. It can be done between the earned value with the actual cost incurred and with the planned value
Here Planned value refers to the value i.e. to be permitted and to be completed within the prescribed time. Here earned value is compared with the planned value to check the variance schedule of the project
Here the actual value is the value that is actually spent or incurred till date. Here the earned value compared with the actual value so that any variance related to cost could be checked
And, the earned value is the value of the work completed till date. It could be in terms of costing and scheduling.
So if the earned value is more than the planned value and the actual value so the project is ahead and it is under budget
hence, option B is correct
You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.'s 8 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $810. These bonds make annual payments and mature 14 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 11 percent. If the inflation rate was 3.4 percent over the past year, what was your total real return on investment?
Answer:
real rate of return = 4.77%
Explanation:
you purchased the bond at $810 with 14 years to maturity
now, 1 year later the bond's price is:
PV of coupon payment = $1,000 / 1.11¹³ = $257.51PV of coupon payments = $80 x 6.7499 (PV annuity factor, 11%, 13 periods) = $539.99market value = $797.50
total nominal returns = $80 (coupon payment) + ($797.50 - $810) = $67.50
the real rate of return = {[1 + ($67.50/$810)] / (1 + 3.4%)} - 1 = 4.77%
A firm with a cost of capital of 7% is considering two projects (they are not mutually exclusive), one expected to return 9% and a second expected to return 9.5%. Which projects should it pursue
Answer:

The historical cost concept reflects the fact that financial accounting practice favors:________.
Reliability over relevance
Management's best guess over historical financial information
Relevance over reliability
Consensus market values over historical financial information
Answer:
Reliability over relevance
Explanation:
The historical cost principle states that assets must be recorded at purchase cost, disregarding any change in their market value. E.g. you purchased a land lot 10 years ago for $100,000 and now it is worth $500,000. It must be recorded at $100,000 since that was its original purchase cost.
Accounting tries to be as exact as possible, and if the carrying values started to change every period or even month by month because the accountant believed that the market value changed, then it would be a mess. Accountancy is not supposed to be a game of guessing, it is supposed to be as exact and reliable as possible.
Benace Parts and Supply makes a variety of car parts. The company produces A90 parts each year. Each A90 sells for and has a contribution margin of . Currently, of fixed manufacturing overhead is allocated to the A90 product line. If Benace Parts and Supply discontinues the A90 product line, of fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be avoided. What would be the impact on total operating income if the A90 product line were to be discontinued?
Answer:
The total Operating income will decrease by $5,000
Explanation:
Note that some word are missing and are inserted as written below:
"Benace Parts and Supply makes a variety of car parts. The company produces 6,000 A90 parts each year. Each A90 sells for $7 and has a contribution margin of $2. Currently, $16,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead is allocated to the A90 product line. If Benace Parts and Supply discontinues the A90 product line, $7,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be avoided. What would be the impact on total operating income if the A90 product line were to be discontinued? "
Solution:
Loss of Contribution margin if the A90 product line discontinued = Units * Contribution margin per unit
= 6,000 units * $2
= $12,000
Saving of avoidable fixed Overhead = $7,000
Decrease in Total Operating Income = Loss of Contribution margin - Saving of avoidable fixed Overhead
= $12,000 - $7.000
= $5,000 (Decrease)
Hence, the total Operating income will decrease by $5,000
Lake Power Sports sells jet skis and other powered recreational equipment. Customers pay 1/3 of the sales price of a jet ski when they initially purchase the ski, and then pay another 1/3 each year for the next two years. Because Lake has little information about collectibility of these receivables, they use the installment method for revenue recognition. In 2010 Lake began operations and sold jet skis with a total price of $900,000 that cost Lake $450,000. Lake collected $300,000 in 2010, $300,000 in 2011, and $300,000 in 2012 associated with those sales. In 2011 Lake sold jet skis with a total price of $1,500,000 that cost Lake $900,000. Lake collected $500,000 in 2011, $400,000 in 2012, and $400,000 in 2013 associated with those sales. In 2013 Lake also repossessed $200,000 of jet skis that were sold in 2011. Those jet skis had a fair value of $75,000 at the time they were repossessed.

b) installement receivables (net) of $900,000.
c) installment receivables (net) of $750,000.
d) deferred gross profit of $1,500,000.
Answer:
1) In 2010, Lake would recognize realized gross profit of:______.
a) $0.
Revenue for calculating gross profit is only recognized when the cost of goods sold (COGS) has been fully recovered.
2) In 2012, Lake would recognize a realized gross profit of:_______.
c) $450,000.
gross profit related to 2010 sales = $900,000 - $450,000 (remaining COGS) = $450,000
gross profit related to 2011 sales = $900,000 - $900,000 = $0
3) In 2013, Lake would record a lost on repossessions of:______.
c) $200,000.
4) In its December 31, 2011, balance sheet, Lake would report:_______.
b) installment receivables (net) of $900,000.
total installments receivables = $300,000 + $1,000,000 = $1,300,000
remaining COGS from 2011 sales = $400,000
installment receivables (net) = $1,300,000 - $400,000 = $900,000

A bank of 10 machines requires regular periodic service. Machine running time and service time are both exponential. what is the optimal number of operators for this bank of machines
Answer:
hello your question lacks some details below is the complete question
A bank of 10 machines requires regular periodic service. Machine running time and service time are both exponential. Machines run for an average of 44 minutes between service requirements, and service time averages six minutes per machine
If operators cost $15 per hour in wages and fringe benefits and machine downtime costs $75 per hour in lost production, what is the optimal number of operators for this bank of machines?
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
E 5
Answer : 3 operators ( c )
Explanation:
number of machines = 10
machine run time for each = 44 minutes
service time = 6 minutes
cost of each operator = $15 per hour
loss during machine down time = $75 per hour
hence the optimal number of operators
The total minutes the machine would work in a hour
= (60 - 6) * 10 = 540 minutes
assuming we assign 180 minutes to each operator then each operator would cost = 15 * 3 = $45
for three operators that would be = 45 * 3 = $135
lost inquired during down time
= 6 minutes * 10 = 60 minutes i.e the total cost inquired per hour = $75
hence 3 operators would be an optimal number of operators because the operators would work lesser hours and more efficiently as well

"Preferred stock is issued with an "anti-dilutive" covenant. If the corporation declares a 5% stock dividend, which statements are TRUE?"
Answer: B. I and IV
Explanation:
Anti-Dilutive clauses are made to ensure that when new common shares are issued, they do not reduce the value of the shares already there because new shares being issued reduces the value of individual shares.
To do this, when new shares are issued or dividends declared, the conversion price is reduced and the conversion ratio is increased so that the preferred stocks can be diluted into more shares thus keeping their value intact.

You sell one IBM July 90 call contract for a premium of $4 and two puts for a premium of $3 each. You hold the position until the expiration date, when IBM stock sells for $95 per share. You will realize a ______ . A. $300 profit B. $100 loss C. $500 profit D. $200 profit
Answer: C. $500 profit
Explanation:
The total premium you will receive from selling both bearing in mind that contracts are per 100 each will be;
= (Call Premium + Put Premium) * 100
= (4 + ( 3 * 2)) * 100
= $1,000
As the prices went up, the only option that will be exercised will be the call option. The loss made when this happens will be;
= ( New Stock price - Exercise price) * 100
= ( 95 - 90) * 100
= $500
Total Profit (loss) made = Premium - loss
