Answer:
$114 Favorable
Explanation:
For computation of activity variance for personnel expenses first we will find out the planning budget and flexible budget which is shown below:-
Planning Budget = Fixed element of personnel expenses + (Budgeted Client visit × Variable element per client visit of personnel expenses)
= $30,500 + (3,800 × $11.40)
= $30,500 + $43,320
= $73,820
Flexible Budget = Fixed element of personnel expenses + (Actual Client visit × Variable element per client visit of personnel expenses)
= $30,500 + (3,790 × $11.40)
= $30,500 + $43,206
= $73,706
Activity variance = Planning Budget - Flexible Budget
= $73,820 - $73,706
= $114 Favorable

Call Systems Company, a telephone service and supply company, has just completed its fourth year of operations. The direct write-off method of recording bad debt expense has been used during the entire period. Because of substantial increases in sales volume and the amount of uncollectible accounts, the company is considering changing to the allowance method. Information is requested as to the effect that an annual provision of 1% of sales would have had on the amount of bad debt expense reported for each of the past four years. It is also considered desirable to know what the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts would have been at the end of each year. The following data have been obtained from the accounts:
Year Sales Uncollectible Accounts Written Off receivable written

1) $4500 $ 9000 $4500 $ 4500
2) $ 9600 $12500 1900 $ 6400
3) $12800 15000 2200 $ 8600
4) 16550 22000 5450 14,050
Explanation:
The actual write off accounts originating in the years were
1) ( $ 4500+ $ 3000+ $ 1000+ $ 1500)= $ 9500
2) ( $ 6600+ 3700+ 4300) = $ 14600
3) ($ 8100+ $ 10,750)= $ 18,850.
Only the first year written off accounts are close to expense if it would have been calculated to 1% of sales ( 1% of $ 900,000) = $ 9000
David and Daniel formed a partnership. David invested $10,000 in cash; Daniel invested $5,000 in cash and equipment valued at $6,000. The proper entry to record this is which of the following?
Answer:
Debit Cash $15,000, debit Equipment $6,000, credit David's Capital $10,000 and credit Daniel's Capital $11,000
Explanation:
Contribution of capital by partners will result in an increase in cash balance as indicated by a debit to cash account. Similarly, contribution of equipment will again be indicated by a debit to equipment account as it would result in the creation/increase in the value of an asset (equipment account). The capital contributed by both partner's will be reported in their capital accounts respectively as indicated by a credit to David and Daniel Capital accounts. Cash and equipment will be reported on the asset side of the balance sheet and capital accounts will get reported on the liabilities of the balance sheet of the partnership firm.
Consider a medium-sized company that has decided to begin using project management in a wide variety of its operations. As part of their operational shift, they are going to adopt a project management office somewhere within the organization. Make an argument for the type of PMO it should adopt (weather station, control tower, or resource pool). What are some of the key decision criteria that will help it determine which model makes most sense
ANSWER:
The company's PMO should adopt resource pool model, because this model will make the project managers to participate in every aspect of the company's project, as one project manager will be involved in one or more operation. Since the company wants to use project management in a wide varieties of it's operations, and not only to determine it's operational shifts.
EXPLANATION:
Project management office are those central office in an organization, that helps to uphold the organizations standard, practice, culture, and procedures, when executing a project.
If the PMO should adopt weather station model, that means it will only forecast the outcome of any decisions the company makes on the project. And this is not the best approach to the company's need at the moment. The company need to improve on it's performance and not forecasting the outcome of it's operations.
If the PMO should adopt control tower, that means the office will only direct and guild the workers on how best to execute their task in accordance with the company's standard. This model will not allow the project managers to involve in the operations of the company. This will not be a good help to the company because the project managers will only teach and guild the staffs on how best to execute the job, but will not be available to work in hands with them during the job task. These can reduce the efficiency of the project.
Trout farming is a perfectly competitive industry and all trout farms have the same cost curves.
When the market price is $25 a fish, farms maximize profit by producing 200 fish a week. At this output, average total cost is $20 a fish and average variable cost is $15 a fish. Minimum average variable cost is $12 a fish.
Required:
i) If the price falls to $20 a fish, will a trout farm produce 200 fish a week. Explain why or why not?
ii) If the price falls to $12 a fish, what will the trout farmer do?
iii) What are two points on a trout farm's supply curve?
Answer:
(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units
(ii) The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down
(iii) The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)
Explanation:
(i)According to given data, When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.
(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.
(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

The Company is in the process of evaluating a new product using the following information: ∙ A new transformer has three production runs each year, each with $15,000 in setup costs. ∙ The new transformer incurred $45,000 in development costs and is expected to be produced over the next three years. ∙ Direct costs of producing the transformers are $55,000 per run of 5,000 transformers each. ∙ Indirect manufacturing costs charged to each run are $45,000. ∙ Destination charges for each transformer average $2.00. ∙ Customer service expenses average $0.40 per transformer. ∙ The transformers are selling for $20 the first year and will increase by $4 each year thereafter. ∙ Sales units equal production units each year. What is the estimated life-cycle operating income for the first year?
Answer:
total loss for first year = ($96,000)
Explanation:
direct costs per 5,000 transformers = $55,000, or $11 per unit
indirect manufacturing overhead per 5,000 transformers = $45,000 or $9 per unit
destination charges per transformer = $2 each
customer service expenses = $0.40 per transformer
sales price:
year 1 = $20 x 15,000 = $300,000
year 2 = $24 x 15,000 = $360,000
year 3 = $28 x 15,000 = $420,000
total revenue = $1,080,000
total costs:
development costs = $45,000
setup costs = $15,000 x 3 per year x 3 years = $135,000
direct costs = $11 x 45,000 units = $495,000
manufacturing overhead costs = $9 x 45,000 = $405,000
sales and administrative costs = $2.40 x 45,000 = $108,000
total = $1,188,000
total operating life cycle loss = $1,080,000 - $1,188,000 = -$108,000
life cycle operating loss for first year:
total revenue = $300,000
- setup costs = $45,000
- direct costs = $165,000
- manufacturing overhead costs = $135,000
- S&A costs = $36,000
- 1/3 of development costs = $15,000
total loss = -$96,000
More Competition: You are in a head-to-head battle with your arch competitor, Evil Enterprises. One of your co-workers approaches you. He has recently joined your company after having worked for a second competitor for several years. He suggested, "I made notes on all of Evil's bids when I could get the data. They use some clear cost standards. Would you like me to bring my notes to the office tomorrow and let you look through them?
Explanation:
In this case, there may be an ethical dilemma, so it is necessary to analyze where the information collected by your co-worker arose.
It would be important to analyze whether he got this information through an open registration and after bids have been opened or the information was compiled illegally.
In case the information is obtained in a legal way, it would be important for the company to study the data of Evil enterprises in order to understand its bidding strategy and outline a strategy so that its company also remains competitive in the market.
The following excerpt is from "Throwing the Book at Apple" (Wall Street Journal, Review and Outlook, June 12, 2013): At the time, prior to the existence of the tablet device market that Jobs created with the iPad, Apple did not sell eminus−books. Amazon sold nine of every 10. Justice claims Jobs then forced Amazon and every other eminus−book distributor to adopt a new eminus−book pricing model that harmed consumers. Yet the average retail price for "trade" eminus−books has since dropped to $7.34 from $7.97, and Amazon's Kindle is still the industry leader with Apple trailing in third. Over the same period readers bought 447% more eminus−books, and they can choose from dozens of tablets for titles and other media content.

Dapper Corporation had only one job in process on May 1. The job had been charged with $1,010 of direct materials, $3,630 of direct labor, and $5,510 of manufacturing overhead cost. The company assigns overhead cost to jobs using the predetermined overhead rate of $15.70 per direct labor-hour. During May, the following activity was recorded:Raw materials (all direct materials): Beginning balance $9,700Purchased during the month $25,000Used in production $31,400Labor: Direct labor-hours worked during the month 2,160Direct labor cost incurred $29,808Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $31,800Inventories: Raw materials, May 30 ?Work in process, May 30 $20,100Work in process inventory on May 30 contains $3,450 of direct labor cost. Raw materials consist solely of items that are classified as direct materials.
Required:
1. The balance in the raw materials inventory account on May 30 was ___________.a) $3,180b) $3,820c) $3,300d) $3,420
Answer:
ending inventory= $3,300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Raw materials (all direct materials):
Beginning balance $9,700
Purchased during the month $25,000
Used in production $31,400
To calculate the ending balance for Direct materials, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
31,400= 9,700 + 25,000 - ending inventory
ending inventory= 3,300
Seranno Inc. budgeted production of 47,000 personal journals in 20Y6. Paper is required to produce a journal. Assume 115 square yards of paper are required for each journal. The estimated January 1, 20Y6, paper inventory is 324,000 square yards. The desired December 31, 20Y6, paper inventory is 243,000 square yards.If paper costs $0.13 per square yard, determine the direct materials purchases budget for 20Y6. If required, round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
Purchases (yards)= 5,324,000 square yards
Total cost= $692,120
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The number of units= 47,000
Quantity required (unitary)= 115 square yards
Beginning inventory= 324,000 square yards.
Desired ending inventory= 243,000 square yards.
Paper costs $0.13 per square yard.
To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases (yards)= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases (yards)= 47,000*115 + 243,000 - 324,000
Purchases (yards)= 5,324,000 square yards
Now, the total cost:
Total cost= 5,324,000*0.13= $692,120

3. What are the total cost and the unit cost of the completed job? (Round unit cost to 2 decimal places)
4. Prepare the entry to record the completion of the job.
Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question, the calculation and journal entry is given below:
1)
Source documents for direct material is Material requisition slip, For direct labor is time tickets and for manufacturing overhead cost is predetermined overhead rate.
2)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = 500 ÷ 400
= 1.25
= 125%
Hence, Predetermined overhead rate is 125% of labor cost.
3)
Total cost :
Direct material $4875 ($800 + $900 + $1600 + $1575)
Direct labor $1,300 ($400 + $300 + $600)
Manufacturing overhead $1,625 ($500 + $375 + $750)
Total cost $7,800 ($4875 + $1300 + $1625)
Now
Unit cost = Total cost ÷ Quantity
=$7,800 ÷ 2,500
= $3.12
4) The journal entry is
Finished goods inventory A/c Dr. $7,800
To Work in process inventory Cr. $7,800

iSooky has a spotter truck with a book value of $40,000 and a remaining useful life of five years. At the end of the five years the spotter truck will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the spotter truck is currently $32,000. iSooky can purchase a new spotter truck for $120,000 and receive $31,000 in return for trading in its old spotter truck. The new spotter truck will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $25,000 per year over the five-year life of the new spotter truck. The total increase or decrease in income by replacing the current spotter truck with the new truck (ignoring the time value of money) is:
Answer: $36,000 increase.
Explanation:
Cost of keeping Current Truck.
The cost of keeping the current truck will be the Opportunity Cost of not purchasing the New truck.
The New truck is capable of reducing Manufacturing costs by $25,000 a year for 5 years so,
Cost of Keeping Current Truck = 25,000 * 5
= $125,000
Cost of buying new truck
It is given that if the company trades in the old truck they get a $31,000 reduction.
The Cost Price of the new truck is therefore,
= 120,000 - 31,000
= $89,000
The difference between the costs will be,
= 125,000 - 89,000
= $36,000
If buying a new truck will reduce expenses by $36,000 then that means it will increase income by $36,000.

The deadweight loss associated with output less than the competitive level can be determined by A. subtracting the consumer surplus from the producer surplus associated with less output. B. summing the change in the total consumer and producer surplus from moving from the competitive level of output to less output. C. subtracting the competitive level producer surplus from the producer surplus associated with less output. D. summing the consumer and producer surplus associated with less output.
Answer:
C. subtracting the competitive level producer surplus from the producer surplus associated with less output
Explanation:
A deadweight loss refers to a cost to society created as a result of market inefficiency. Market inefficiency occurs when supply and demand are out of equilibrium. It is also known as excess burden.
Deadweight loss is also created due to taxes as they prevent people from purchasing things that they would otherwise as the final price of the product increases.
The deadweight loss associated with output less than the competitive level can be determined by subtracting the competitive level producer surplus from the producer surplus associated with less output
Use the following to answer question 80: Gross Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2011. Its inventory at that date was $440,000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Inventory at Current Current Prices Price Index December 31, 2012 $513,600 107 December 31, 2013 580,000 125 December 31, 2014 650,000 130 80. What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2013 under dollar value LIFO
Answer:
$465680
Explanation:
For calculating the ending inventory under the dollar value LIFO method we will follow the 2 steps given as under:
Step1:
Y = Current Price at year end / Price Index at that time
Step2:
Ending Inventory = Opening Inventory value + (Y - Opening Inventory Value) * Index Value
For the Year 2012
Step 1:
Y = 513,600 / 1.07 = $480,000
Step 2:
Ending Inventory = $440,000 + ($480,000 - 440,000) * 1.07 = $482,800
Similarly for the year 2013
Step 1:
Y = 580000 / 1.25 = $464,000
Step 2:
Ending Inventory = $440,000 + ($464,000 - $440,000) * 1.07 = $465,680
The answer is $465680.
Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of $ 1.09. Analysts are predicting dividends to grow by $ 0.19 per year over the next five years. After then, Colgate's earnings are expected to grow 5.3 % per year, and its dividend payout rate will remain constant. If Colgate's equity cost of capital is 7.5 % per year, what price does the dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for today?
Answer:
$74.62
Explanation:
Div₀ = $1.09
expected growth $0.19 per year
Div₁ = $1.28
Div₂ = $1.47
Div₃ = $1.66
Div₄ = $1.85
Div₅ = $2.04
then constant growth rte of 5.3%
equity cost = 7.5%
first we need to determine the stock price in year 5 using the Gordon growth model:
stock price = [dividend x (1+g)] / (Re - g) = ($2.04 x 1.053) / (7.5% - 5.3%) = $97.64
now we can discount all the future cash flows:
stock price = $1.28/1.075 + $1.47/1.075² + $1.66/1.075³ + $1.85/1.075⁴ + $2.04/1.075⁵ + $97.64/1.075⁵ = $1.19 + $1.27 + $1.34 + $1.39 + $1.42 + $68.01 = $74.62

The average exchange rate during 2020 was $.96 = §1. The beginning inventory was acquired when the exchange rate was $1.20 = §1. The ending inventory was acquired when the exchange rate was $.90 = §1 and current market value of the inventory is higher than the acquisition cost. The exchange rate at December 31, 2020 was $.84 = §1. Assuming that the foreign country had a highly inflationary economy, at what amount should the foreign subsidiary's cost of goods sold have been reflected in the U.S. dollar income statement?
Answer:
$11,613,600
Explanation:
Beginning Inventory 240 * rate at that date 1.20 = 288,000
Purchase 12,360, 000 * 0.96 average for the year = 11,865,600
Available for sale =(11,865,600+288,000)
12,153,600
Ending 600,000 * BalanceSheet HR .90 = 540,000
COGS =( 12,153,600-540,000) $11,613,600
Therefore Assuming that the foreign country had a highly inflationary economy, at what amount should the foreign subsidiary's cost of goods sold have been reflected in the U.S. dollar income statement will be $11,613,600
On January 1, 2012, Browning Corporation had 75,000 shares of $1 par value common stock issued and outstanding. During the year, the following transactions occurred:
Mar. 1 Issued 60,000 shares of common stock for $675,000
June 1 Declared a cash dividend of $2.00 per share to stockholders of record on June 15
June 30 Paid the $2.00 cash dividend
Dec. 1 Purchased 5,000 shares of common stock for the treasury for $18 per share
Dec. 15 Declared a cash dividend on outstanding shares of $2.50 per share to stockholders of record on December 31
Net income for 2012 amounted to $951,000.
Instructions
Prepare journal entries to record the above transactions.
Answer:
The solution are given as under:
Explanation:
Part 1. The entry would record common stock at part and the above par value would be paid in capital.
Dr Cash $675,000
Cr Common Stock $60,000
Cr Paid In Capital $615,000
Part 2. When dividend is declared, dividend payable must be recognized against the Retained Earnings.
Dividends Payable can be calculated by finding out the total shares on 15th of June, which is:
Total shares = Shares issued + Previously Held shares
= 75,000 + 60,000 = 135,000
Now the total dividend that is payable is:
Dividend Declared = Total Number of Shares * Dividend per share
= 135,000 Shares * $2 per share = $270,000
Dr Retained Earnings $270,000
Cr Dividend Payables $270,000
Part 3. The payment of dividends will decrease the dividend payables with $270,000, so the double entry would be:
Dr Dividend Payables $270,000
Cr Cash Account $270,000
Part 4. The purchasing of the treasury stock would be recorded as under:
Dr Treasury Stock $90,000 ..... $15 per share * 5000 shares
Cr Cash Account $90,000
Part 5. The cash dividend declared would be similarly the way we calculated in the part 3 but here we will also account for the treasury stock as under:
Total shares = Shares issued + Previously Held shares - Treasury Stock
= 75,000 + 60,000 - 5,000 = 130,000
Now the total dividend that is payable is:
Dividend Declared = Total Number of Shares * Dividend per share
= 130,000 Shares * $2.5 per share = $325,000
Dr Retained Earnings $325,000
Cr Dividend Payables $325,000
Which of the following statements is most correct? a. Because taxes on long-term capital gains are not paid until the gain is realized, investors must pay the top individual tax rate on that gain. b. Retained earnings, as reported on the balance sheet, represents the amount of cash a company has available to pay out as dividends to shareholders. c. 70% of the dividends received by corporations is excluded from taxable income. d. 70% of the interest received by corporations is excluded from taxable income. e. The corporate tax system favors equity financing, as dividends paid are deductible from corporate taxes.
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
In simple words, the dividends that are received by the corporations are considered to be tax deductible to avoid the common issue of double taxation of corporate incomes.
Such investments are considered to be return from investments and some jurisdictions even allow majority share holding in the investing asset also. Through default 70 per cent of distributions earned from companies hold 20 per cent or fewer are exempt. This will otherwise be better.

On January 1 of this year, Olive Corporation issued bonds. Interest is payable once a year on December 31. The bonds mature at the end of four years. Olive uses the effective-interest amortization method. The partially completed amortization schedule below pertains to the bonds: Date Cash Interest Amortization Balance January 1, Year 1 $ 58,998 End of Year 1 $ 3,944 $ 3,717 $ 227 58,771 End of Year 2 ? ? ? 58,530 End of Year 3 ? ? 257 ? End of Year 4 ? 3,671 ? 58,000
Answer and Explanation:
The amortization schedule is presented below:
Date Cash Interest expense Amortization Balance
A B C = (A - B)
January 1, Year 1 $58,998
D
End of Year 1 $3,944 $3,717 $227 $58,771
E = D - C
End of Year 2 $3,944 $3,702.573 $241 $58,530
End of Year 3 $3,944 $3,687.39 $257 $58,273
End of Year 4 $3,944 $3,671 $273 $58,000
Working notes:
For computing the missing amount first we have to find out the interest expense rate which is
= $3,717 ÷ $58,998
= 6.30%
For year 2,
The interest expense is
= $58,771 × 6.30%
= $3,702.573
For year 3,
The interest expense is
= $58,530 × 6.30%
= $3,687.39
An ordinary annuity selling at $4,947.11 today promises to make equal payments at the end of each year for the next eight years (N). If the annuity’s appropriate interest rate (IN) remains at 6.50% during this time, the annual annuity payment (PMT) will be ________. You just won the lottery. Congratulations! The jackpot is $35,000,000, paid in eight equal annual payments. The first payment on the lottery jackpot will be made today. In present value terms, you really won ________ assuming annual interest rate of 6.50%.
Answer:
$812.49 and $28,369,687.5
Explanation:
Let us assume the annual payments be X
Sale of ordinary annuity = X × PVAF factor
$4,947.11 = X × PVAF(6.5%, 8 years)
$4,947.11 = 6.0888 × X
X = $812.49
And,
The Present value is
Present value = Annual payments + Annual payments × PVAF factor
= $4,375,000 + $4,375,000 × PVAF(6.5%, 7 years)
= $4,375,000 + $4,375,000 × 5.4845
= $28,369,687.5
The $4,375,000 is come from
= $35,000,000 ÷ 8 years
= $4,375,000
Refer to the PVAF factor table
We simply applied the above formulas
Square Block Company is comparing two different capital structures: An all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 350,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 225,000 shares of stock outstanding and $5 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent, and there are no taxes. a. If EBIT is $1,000,000, which plan will result in the higher EPS? b. If EBIT is $1,500,000, which plan will result in the higher EPS? c. What is the break-even EBIT?
Answer:
a. If EBIT is $1,000,000 Plan 1 will give higher EPS
b. If EBIT is $1,500,000 Plan 2 will give higher EPS
c. The break-even EBIT would be $ 1,400,000
Explanation:
a) In Plan 1
According to given data EBIT = $1,000,000
Since there is no debt, so there is no interest. Also there are no taxes
So , earnings avaliable to shareholders = $ 1,000,000
shares of stock outstanding = 350,000
EPS = 1,000,000 / 350,000 = 2.857
Plan 2
EBIT = $1,000,000
Debt = 5000000
Interest = 10% * 5000000 = $ 500000
So , EBIT -interest = $ 500000
Earnings avaliable to shareholders = $ 500000
shares of stock outstanding = 225000
EPS = 500000/ 225000= 2.222
So Plan 1 will give higher EPS
b) Plan 1
EBIT = $1,500,000
Since there is no debt, so there is no interest. Also there are no taxes
So , earnings avaliable to shareholders = $ 1,500,000
shares of stock outstanding = 350,000
EPS = 1,500,000 / 350,000 = 4.286
Plan 2
EBIT = $1,500,000
Debt = 5000000
Interest = 10% * 5000000 = $ 500000
So , EBIT -interest = $ 1000000
Earnings avaliable to shareholders = $ 1000000
shares of stock outstanding = 225000
EPS = 1000000/ 225000= 4.444
So Plan 2 will give higher EPS
c)
Let the breakeven EBIT be 'x'
So,
In breakeven EBIT both EPS for plan 1 and 2 will be same
So,
x / 350000 = ( x - 500000) / 225000
Solving for x , x= 1400000
Breakeven EBIT = $ 1,400,000

Jmes Graham Manufacturing is a small manufacturer that uses machine-hours as its
activity base for assigned overhead costs to jobs. The company estimated the
following amounts for 2019 for the company, for Job 62 and Job 63:
Company Job 62 Job 63
Direct materials $60,000 $4,500 $7,100
Direct labor $25,000 $2,500 $4,200
Manufacturing
overhead costs $72,000
Machine hours 90,000 1,350 3,100
During 2019, the actual machine-hours totaled 95,000, and actual overhead costs were $71,000. Job 62 consisting of 1,000 units and Job 63 consisting of 2000 units were completed during the month.
Instructions:
A) Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
B) Compute the total manufacturing costs for Job 62 and Job 63.
C) Compute the unit cost of Jobs 62 and 63.
D) How much overhead is over or underapplied for the year for the company? State amount and whether it is over- or underapplied.
E) If Graham Manufacturing sells Job 62 for $14,000 and $18,000 for Job 63, compute the gross profit.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company - Job 62 - Job 63
Direct materials: $60,000 - $4,500 - $7,100
Direct labor: $25,000 - $2,500 - $4,200
overhead costs $72,000
Machine hours: 90,000 - 1,350 - 3,100
During 2019, the actual machine-hours totaled 95,000, and actual overhead costs were $71,000. Job 62 consisting of 1,000 units and Job 63 consisting of 2000 units were completed during the month.
A) 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= 72,000/90,000
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 0.8 per machine-hour
B) Total manufacturing cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Job 62:
Total manufacturing cost= 4,500 + 2,500 + 0.8*1,350
Total manufacturing cost= $8,080
Job 63:
Total manufacturing cost= 7,100 + 4,200 + 0.8*3,100
Total manufacturing cost= $13,780
C) Unitary cost= total cost/ number of units
Job 62:
Unitary cost= 8,080/1,000= $8.08
Job 63:
Unitary cost= 13,780/2,000= $6.89
D) First, we need to apply overhead for the company as a whole:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 0.8*95,000
Allocated MOH= $76,000
Now, we can calculate the over/under applied overhead:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 71,000 - 76,000
Overapplied overhead= $5,000
E) Job 62= 14,000
Job 63= 18,000
Gross profit= sales - cost of goods sold
Job 62:
Gross profit= 14,000 - 8,080= $5,920
Job 63:
Gross profit= 18,000 - 13,780= $4,220
Wall Drugs offered an incentive stock option plan to its employees. On January 1, 2021, options were granted for 60,000 $1 par common shares. The exercise price equals the $5 market price of the common stock on the grant date. The options cannot be exercised before January 1, 2024, and expire December 31, 2025. Each option has a fair value of $1 based on an option pricing model. What is the correct entry to record the exercise of 90% the options on April 15, 2024, when the market price of the stock was $8?
Answer:
Debit Cash for $270,000
Debit Paid-in capital-stock options for $54,000
Credit Common stock for $54,000
Credit Paid-in capital—excess of par for $270,000
Explanation:
Cash from he exercise of 90% = 60,000 * 90% * $5 = $270,000
Paid-in-capital for the stock options = $60,000 * 90% = $54,000
Common stock = 60,000 * 90% * $1 = $54,000
The the correct entry to record the exercise of 90% the options on April 15, 2024, when the market price of the stock was $8 will now be as follows:
Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
Cash 270,000
Paid-in capital-stock options 54,000
