Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $14.00 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20.00, including fixed costs, and $12.00, not including fixed costs. If 38,493 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it would be a
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "$76,986".
Explanation:
Although the organization is reportedly going to pay $14.00 per unit, even before manufactured throughout the corporation, cost and save per unit will become the variation among current value as well as production costs without set rate. The cost of operating expenses will not be included to measure the gain because the idle resources of the company would be included and would not raise the fixed costs.
Therefore the cost differential would be as follows:
⇒ [tex]Differential \ cost = (Current \ purchasing \ price-Manufacturing \ cost \ excluding \ fixed \ cost)\times 38,493[/tex]On putting the values in the above formula, we get
⇒ [tex]=(14-12)\times 38,493[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=2\times 38,493[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=76,986[/tex]

is recorded, credits are made to:
a. Common Stock $50,000 and Paid-in Capital in Excess of Stated Value $20,000.
b. Common Stock $70,000.
c. Common Stock $50,000 and Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value $20,000.
d. Common Stock $50,000 and Retained Earnings $20,000.
Answer:
c. Common Stock $50,000 and Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value $20,000.
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Cash $70,000 (5,000 shares × $14)
To Common stock $50,000 (5,000 shares × $10)
To Additional Paid in capital in excess of par value - Common stock $20,000 (5,000 shares × $4)
(Being the issuance of the common stock is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased assets and at the same time it also increased the overall stockholder equity so common stock and the additional paid in capital for common stock is credited

There are some government programs that pay farmers not to plant wheat on part of their land.
This would help farmers:
A) by increasing total revenue but it hurts consumers.
B) by increasing prices for wheat by increasing total revenue and it also helps consumers by lowering the price of wheat.
C) since the government payment will reduce the costs of production and increase the supply of wheat.
D) since the government payment will increase income to farmers and it helps consumers too by lowering the price of wheat.
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
In simple words, the payment by government will work as a subsidy for the lost profits of the farmers and their income will be ineffective. Also, by not using that land the farmers can grow any other crop which can provide them higher income as compared to crops.
Such step will result in higher total revenue as wheat would not get wasted due to extra production, thus consumers will also not get hurt.

Porter Resources Company acquired a tract of land containing an extractable natural resource. Porter is required by its purchase contract to restore the land to a condition suitable for recreational use after it has extracted the natural resource. Geological surveys estimate that the recoverable reserves will be 2,000,000 tons, and that the land will have a value of $1,000,000 after restoration. Relevant cost information follows:
Land $7,500,000
Estimated restoration costs 1,500,000
If Porter maintains no inventories of extracted material, what should be the charge to depletion expense per ton of extracted material?
Answer:
A. $4
Explanation:
The computation of amount of depletion per ton is shown below:-
Depletion per ton = (Acquisition cost of land + Estimated restoration costs- Salvage value) ÷ Tons of recoverable reserves
= ($7,500,000 + $1,500,000 - $1,000,000) ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= (9,000,000 - $1,000,000) ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= $8,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= $4
Therefore for computing the depletion per ton we simply applied the above formula.

Regulatory focus theory suggests that consumers will react differently depending on which broad set of motives is more salient. Name and describe the two prominent sets of motives and describe how consumers will react when each set of motives is more noticeable. Use a specific product or service to explain your answer.
Two prominent sets of motives under regulatory focus theory are termed Promotion and prevention.
What is regulatory focus theory?According to the regulatory focus hypothesis, people can work toward objectives with either a promotion or a preventive emphasis. People who aim for advancement interpret pleasure as the accomplishment of their aims, ambitions, and aspirations, and interpret suffering as their absence.
Motives assume that emotional trade-offs between both the coexisting motivational systems on promotion and prevention will always happen. Promotion-oriented people are opportunistic and look for real experiences as motivation to develop action-oriented objectives, which are necessary to getting outcomes.
People who have a prevention orientation are extremely optimistic and see keeping things as they are and preventing bad things from happening as their defining and overriding motives.

Kiano, a telecommunications equipment manufacturer, manufactures PDAs (P), wireless handsets (H), and blackberrys (B). They have a limited supply of common parts---ethernet card (450 in inventory), antenna (250 in inventory), chipset (800 in inventory), battery/power supply (450 in inventory), LCD screen (600 in inventory)---that these products use. A PDA requites an ethernet card, 2 chipsets, a power supply, and 2 LCD screens. A wireless handset requires an ethernet card, an antenna, 2 chipsets, a power supply, and a LCD screen. A blackberry requires a chipset and a LCD screen. The profit on PDAs is $80, the profit on wireless handsets is $60, and the profit on blackberrys is $35. The following is a linear programming formulation of the problem.
Let
P = Number of PDAs produced
H = Number of wireless handsets produced
B = Number of blackberrys produced
We may write model for this problem as follows.
Maximize 80P + 60H + 35B
subject to:
(ethernet card constraint) P + H ? 450
(antenna constraint constraint) H ? 250
(chipset constraint) 2P + 2H + B ? 800
(power supply constraint) P + H ? 450
(LCD screen constraint) 2P + H + B ? 600
(non-negativity) P, H, B ? 0.
Implement the above model in Solver and make sure to choose Simplex as the solving method and to choose the option "Make Unconstrained Variables non-negative"---do not explicitly put in the non-negativity constraints in the model and using the sensitivity report only
answer the questions below:
a. Does the solution change if only 425 ethernet cards are available?
b. Is it profitable to produce Blackberrys? If not, by how much should the profit margin on Blackberrys be increased to make it profitable to produce Blackberrys?
c. Because of a change in production technology the profit margin on handsets has increased to $70. Should the production plan of Kiano change? What is their new profit?
d. 50 chipsets were found to be defective, making the number of available chipsets 750. What will the profit be in this situation?
e. Another supplier is willing to sell LCD screens to Kiano. However their prices for a LCD screen are $20 higher than what Kiano pays it's regular supplier. Should Kiano go ahead and purchase these electronic units? If yes, at most how many units should they purchase.
f. Kiano is considering introducing a new product (called the Revolutionary Communicator) that combines the wireless handset and PDA. This product uses an ethernet card, an antenna, 2 chipsets, 1 power supply, and 2 LCD screens, and is expected to make a profit of $100. Should Kiano produce the Revolutionary Communicator?

The Sanding Department of Quik Furniture Company has the following production and manufacturing cost data for March 2020, the first month of operation. Production: 6,240 units finished and transferred out; 3,000 units started that are 100% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. Manufacturing costs: Materials $36,960; labor $21,400; overhead $30,242. Prepare a production cost report. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25 and other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Answer:
Cost of goods transferred out $71,061.012
Value of closing inventory = $17,540.98
Explanation:
Cost per equivalent unit = Cost /total equivalent unit
Material
Equivalent unit = (100%×6,240) +( 100%× 3,000) = 9240
Cost per equivalent unit = $36,960/9,240 units= 4
Labour
Equivalent unit = (100%×6,240) + ( 25%× 3,000)= 6990 units
Cost per equivalent unit = ( 21,400 + 30,242)/6990 = 7.387982833
Cost of goods transferred out= (6,240× 4) + (7.38×6,240)=71,061.012
Value of closing inventory = (3,000× 4) + (7.38× 25%*3000)= 17,540.98
Cost of goods transferred out $71,061.012
Value of closing inventory = $17,540.98

Explanation:
Note is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.
Interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time
Nov. 1: In this case, the total interest revenue is: $63,600 x 9%/12 x 12 months = $5,724.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $5,724 / 12 x 2 = $954.
Dec. 11: Total interest revenue is: $5,400 x 8%/12 x 3 months = $108.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $108 / 90 days x 19 days = $23.
Dec. 16: Total interest revenue is: $14,400 x 6%/12 x 6 months = $432.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $432 / 180 days x 14 days = $34.
A company purchased a 3-acre tract of land for a building site for $450,000. The company demolished the old building at a cost of $22,000, but was able to sell scrap from the building for $2,500. The cost of title transfer was $1,400 and attorney fees for reviewing the contract was $700. Property taxes paid were $8,000, of which $750 covered the period after the purchase date. The capitalized cost of the land is: Multiple Choice $345,350. $478,850. $480,350. $480,600.
Answer:
$478,850
Explanation:
The computation of capitalized cost of the land is shown below:-
Capitalized cost of the land = Purchase cost + Demolition of old building + Cost of Title insurance + Attorney fees + Property taxes paid - Scrap value of the building
= $450,000 + $22,000 + $1,400 + $700 + ($8,000 - $750) - $2,500
= $450,000 + $22,000 + $1,400 + $700 + $7,250 - $2,500
= $481,350 - $2,500
= $478,850
So, for computing the capitalized cost of the land we simply applied the above formula.

The entry required to close the revenue and expense accounts at the end of the period includes a:
a) credit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
b) credit to Retained Earnings for $38,300.
c) debit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
d) debit to Retained Earnings for $38,300.
Answer:
A) credit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
Explanation:
Temporary accounts (includes all revenues and expenses) must be closed against the income summary account. Then the income summary account is closed against retained earnings, and depending on whether the company made a profit or not, the retained earnings account will be debited or credited.
In this case, the net income after taxes is $4,780, so that means that retained earnings will increase (should be credited), so the closing journal entry should be:
Dr Income summary 4,780
Cr Retained earnings 4,780
Rental Revenue 37,000

A. Without considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, income statement approach, 1% of total sales.
B. Without considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, income statement approach, 1.5% of credit sales.
C. Considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, balance sheet approach. The estimate based on an aging of accounts receivable is that an allowance of $12,000 would be appropriate.
Answer and Explanation:
The computations and the journal entries are as follows
A. Uncollectible account expense is
= Given percentage × total sales
= 1% × $1,152,000
= $11,520
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $11,520
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $11,520
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
B. Uncollectible account expense is
= Given percentage × credit sales
= 1.5% × $1,152,000 × 75%
= $12,960
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $12,960
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $12,960
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
C. Uncollectible account expense is
= Appropriate Allowance - credit balance of allowance for doubtful debts
= $12,000 - $2,184
= $9,816
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $9,816
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $9,816
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets

Discuss the different roles played by the qualitative and quantitative approaches to managerial decision making. Why is it important for a manager or decision maker to have a good understanding of both of these approaches to decision making? Give an example of when the qualitative approach might be more appropriate and another example of when the quantitative approach might be more appropriate.
Explanation:
Regarding the management decision-making process, there are two different approaches that the manager must know and know how to use in certain situations.
The qualitative approach is one that is based on experimental knowledge of various factors involved in decision making, such as interpersonal connections that occur in the work environment, in this approach it is necessary that the manager has an intuition and accurate perception of the organization as a whole before making an important decision
The quantitative approach is one that uses mathematical statistics for decision making, generally works best for solving measurable problems, and for this reason can be used by a manager without much direct experience.
The qualitative approach may be more appropriate in a situation where a manager needs to solve problems related to situations of conflict between organizational departments, because in this scenario it is necessary to have knowledge of factors that generate the complex interaction between people.
The quantitative approach can be more useful in a scenario where it needs to analyze which are the most profitable departments in the organization and what is the probability of each department generating profits in the company, because in this case accounting data are used to support decision making.
Sunland Sports sells volleyball kits that it purchases from a sports equipment distributor. The following static budget based on sales of 1,940 kits was prepared for the year. Fixed operating expenses account for 78% of total operating expenses at this level of sales.
Sales $ 97,000
Cost of goods sold (all variable) 58,200
Gross margin 38,800
Operating expenses 33,950
Operating income $ 4,850
Assume that during the year Sunland Sports actually sold 2,037 volleyball kits during the year at a price of $47 per kit.
Required:
1. Calculate the sales price variance.
Answer:
$6,111 unfavorable variance
Explanation:
The budgeted sales price can be determined by dividing budgeted sales of $97,000 by the budgeted sales volume of 1,940 kits i.e $50 ($97,000/1940)
However,2037 volleyball kits were sold for $47 each instead of the planned $50 per kit.
sales price variance=(actual sales volume*actual sales price)*(budgeted sales price*actual sales volume)
actual sales volume is 2037
actual sales price is $47
budgeted sales price is $50
sales price variance=($47*2037)-($50*2037)=$-6111

Rush Industries, Inc. builds parts for large automated heavy equipment. The Vice President for Marketing has determined that sales are dwindling for the firm's products because of aggressive pricing by competitors. Rush Industries sells the product for $775 whereas the competition's comparable part is selling in the $650 range. The VP for Marketing has determined that a price drop to $625 is necessary to regain market share and annual sales of 1,200 units. Data based on sales of 1,200 units is as follows:
Budgeted Amount Actual Amount Cost
Direct materials (sheet metal) 8,000 sq.ft. 10,000 sq.ft. $9.66 per sq.ft.
Direct labor 4,800 hrs. 5,000 hrs. $33.60 per hour
Machine setups 2,600 hrs. 2,800 hrs. $42.00 per hour
Mechanical assembly 3,200 hrs. 3,600 hrs. $34.00 per hour
Required:
1. The current cost per unit is ___________.
Answer:
The current cost per unit is $ 420.50
Explanation:
The current cost per unit is synonymous with the actual cost per unit which is determined by summing up all costs incurred in actual sense and dividing by the sales volume of 1,200 units
direct materials =10,000*$9.66=$ 96,600
direct labor=5,000*$33.60 =$ 168,000
machine set-ups=2,800*$42 =$ 117,600
mechanical assembly=3,600*$34=$122,400
total actual costs =$ 504,600
cost per unit=total costs/sales volume=$ 504,600/1200=$ 420.50
Using budgeted figures would only give us budgeted cost per unit

On August 1, 2007 the Dell Computer Corporation's stock closed trading at $ 27.76 per share while Apple Corporation's shares closed at $ 133.64. Does this mean that because Apple's stock price is roughly four times that of Dell's, Apple is the more valuable company? Interpret the prices for these two firms using the information found here:
(Most recent 12 months) Dell 2007 Apple 2007
Net Income ($ millions) $3,572 $3,130
Shares outstanding (millions) 2300 869.16

It appears that Apple enjoys a (lower or higher) price per share when compared to its 2007 earnings but a (lower or higher) price when compared to the book value of the firm's equity. The (higher or lower) market-to-book ratio for Apple reflects that fact that Apple has used a great deal (less or more) equity and (more or less) debt to finance its operations.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
It appears that Apple enjoys a (higher) price per share when compared to its 2007 earnings but a (lower) price when compared to the book value of the firm's equity. The (lower) market-to-book ratio for Apple reflects the fact that Apple has used a great deal (more) equity and (less) debt to finance its operations.
Apple will enjoy a higher price per share because Apple Corporation's shares closed at $ 133.64 while Dell Computer Corporation's stock closed trading at $ 27.76 per share. Also, the lower market-to-book ratio for Apple of $11.63 compared to Dell's market to book ratio of $15.42 shows that Apple used more of equity and less debt for its business.
Clipper Company sells two types of nail clippers. One focuses on the economy oriented customer and the other aims to satisfy the high-end clientele. The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9. The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15. Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880. Economy clippers constitute 70 percent of the market with the remaining 30 percent being high-end clippers. Based on this information what is the total number of clippers that must be sold to earn a $12,420 profit
Answer:
10,500
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of the total number of clippers is provided below:-
Here we will assume the sales = x
((Economy clippers × Sales price) - (Economy clippers × Economy clipper cost)) + ((Remaining percentage × Sales) - (Remaining percentage × High end model cost) - Fixedd cost = Profit
= ((0.70x × $9) - (0.70x × $5)) + ((0.30x × $15) - (0.30x × $9)) - $35,880 = $12,420
= (6.3x - 3.5x) + (4.5x - 2.7x) = $35,880 + $12,420
= (2.8x + $1.8x) = $48,300
= 4.6x = $48300
x = $48,300 ÷ 4.6
x = $10,500
So, the total number of clippers that must be sold to earn a $12,420 profit = 10,500 clippers
Economy clippers is 70% of the market = 10,500 × 70%
= 7,350 clipper
High-end clippers is 30% of the market = 10500 × 30%
= 3,150 clipper
So, the total number of clippers = 7,350 clipper + 3,150 clipper
= 10,500 clippers
Therefore by using the above formula we simply solve the total number of clippers.
