Grahame, Inc. has a fiscal year-end of September 30th. On March 1, 2015, Grahame authorized $800,000 in bonds payable; the bonds carry a stated interest rate of 6%, interest to be paid semi-annually on February 28, and August 31st with a term of 12 years. On August 1, 2016, Grahame issued hree-quarters of the bonds at a premium of $25,400.
Prepare the journal entries that would be required relating to the bonds over period March 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.
Answer:
Grahame, Inc.
Journal Entries:
March 1, 2015:
No journal entry. A memorandum record is made to recognize that $800,000 bonds payable were authorized to be issued, at an interest rate of 6% with a maturity period of 12 years.
August 1, 2016:
Debit Cash $625,400
Credit Bonds Payable $600,000
Credit Bonds Premium $25,400
To record the issue of 3/4 of the $800,000 bonds payable at a premium of $25,400.
September 30, 2016:
Debit Interest Expense $5,647
Credit Interest Payable $5,647
To accrue interest on bonds payable.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Authorized bonds payable = $800,000
Rate of interest = 6%
Bonds maturity period = 12 years
Interest payable on the bonds on February 28 and August 31st.
Issued bonds payable = $600,000 ($800,000 * 3/4)
Date of issue = August 1, 2016
Interest Expense = $600,000 * 6% * 2/12 = $6,000
Bonds Premium amortization = $25,400/12 * 2/12 = $353
The interest expense will be reduced by $353 to $5,647 ($6,000 - 353)

Explanation:
Manufacturing overhead has an underallocated balance of $12,400; raw materials inventory balance is $145,500; work in process inventory is $122,800; finished goods inventory is $140,300; and cost of goods sold is $170,500. After adjusting for the underallocated manufacturing overhead, what is cost of goods sold
Answer:
$182,900
Explanation:
With regards to the above, after adjusting for the under allocated manufacturing overhead, cost of goods sold would be
= Under allocated balance of manufacturing overhead + cost of goods sold
= $ 12,400 + $170,500
= $182,900
University Car Wash built a deluxe car wash across the street from campus. The new machines cost $249,000 including installation. The company estimates that the equipment will have a residual value of $25,500. University Car Wash also estimates it will use the machine for six years or about 12,500 total hours. Actual use per year was as follows:Year Hours Used1. 2,9002. 1,8003. 1,9004. 2,1005. 1,9006. 1,900
Required:
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for six years using the straight-line method.
2. Prepare a depreciation schedule for six years using double declining balance method.
3. Prepare a depreciation schedule for six years using activity cost method.
Answer:
1. straight line depreciation
depreciable value = $249,000 - $25,500 = $223,500
depreciation rate per year = $223,500 / 6 = $37,250
2. double-declining balance
depreciation rate year 1 = 2 x 1/6 x $249,000 = $83,000
depreciation rate year 2 = 2 x 1/6 x $166,000 = $55,333
depreciation rate year 3 = 2 x 1/6 x $110,667 = $36,889
depreciation rate year 4 = 2 x 1/6 x $73,778 = $24,593
depreciation rate year 5 = 2 x 1/6 x $49,185 = $16,395
depreciation rate year 6 = $32,790 - $25,500 = $7,290
units of activity
depreciable value = $223,500
depreciation rate per unit = $223,500 / 12,500 = $17.88 per unit
depreciation rate year 1 = $17.88 x 2,900 = $51,852
depreciation rate year 2 = $17.88 x 1,800 = $32,184
depreciation rate year 3 = $17.88 x 1,900 = $33,972
depreciation rate year 4 = $17.88 x 2,100 = $37,548
depreciation rate year 5 = $17.88 x 1,900 = $33,972
depreciation rate year 6 = $17.88 - 1,900 = $33,972

When comparing two companies, we notice that they are very similar in setup (e.g., same costs, same profit margins, same inventory turnovers etc.). However, the time it takes company A to pay for raw materials is longer than it takes company B, while the time it takes customers of company A to pay for the finished goods is shorter than it takes company B's customers. Which of these companies has a shorter cash flow cycle?
a. Company B
b. They are both the same
c. Company A
d. Could be either, depending on the days in inventory
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: Could be either, depending on the days in inventory.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term known as "Cash Flow Cycle" in the world of business refers specifically to the movement of cash inside the organization regarding the whole process of producing them and selling them to the target audience. It will obviously start with the purchase of the raw materials and everything needed for production and it will end with the complete sale of the final product.
Secondly, in this case the cash flow cycle will depend on the days that the products remain in inventory due to the fact that they both are even when it comes to the purchase and selling processes.
Acton Corporation, which applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours, has provided the following data for its most recent year of operations. Estimated manufacturing overhead $202,600 Estimated machine-hours 2,000 Actual manufacturing overhead $194,600 Actual machine-hours 1,930 The estimates of the manufacturing overhead and of machine-hours were made at the beginning of the year for the purpose of computing the company's predetermined overhead rate for the year. The applied manufacturing overhead for the year is closest to:
Answer:
$195,509
Explanation:
The computation of the applied manufacturing overhead is shown below:
But before that the predetermined overhead rate is
= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated machine hours
= $202,600 ÷ 2,000
= $101.30
Now the applied overhead is
= Actual machine hours × predetermined overhead rate
= 1,930 × $101.30
= $195,509

A company's current assets are $26,420, its quick assets are $15,090 and its current liabilities are $12,520. Its acid-test ratio equals:
Answer: 1.21
Explanation:
Acid test ratio is also referred to as the quick ratio and it is calculated as:
Acid-Test Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities
where,
Quick assets = $15090
Current liabilities = $12520
Acid test ratio = $15090 / $12520
= 1.2052
= 1.21

A local manufacturing business has announced that it will be closing its factory in your area and opening a new factory outside of the US. In one or more fully formed paragraphs, weigh the advantages and disadvantages of this action to your community, the business, and/or the global economy. Identify at least three advantages and three disadvantages. Do you support this change
Answer:
The disadvantages are in the first paragraphs and the advantages are in the second paragraphs.
Explanation:
One the one hand, the fact that the company has decided to close the local factory and open another one abroad indicates a serious of factors to have in mind when it comes to the community and the local area. To start, the local area will be affected obviously by this decision by losing jobs and also by losing money that will not longer be injected in the economy. Moreover, the business itself will have to do it all over to find new employers and calculate every cost and every aspect of the new factory abroad. And finally, in terms of the global economy this decision will affect as well the interaction that the company will now have from outside when it comes to doing business with local companies.
On the other hand, the decision will also bring advantages. When it comes to the business, the most quickly thought is that they will be able to lower the cost of producing if the choose a good country. In the case of the global economy this will also improve the movement of money from one country to another and more important the rise of new jobs in another place abroad. And finally, for the local community the most quickly advantage could be the case of the reduction in the polution of the area regarding the fact that the company is no longer working there.
You have been engaged to review the financial statements of Whispering Corporation. In the course of your examination, you conclude that the bookkeeper hired during the current year is not doing a good job. You notice a number of irregularities as follows:
1. Year-end wages payable of $3,520 were not recorded because the bookkeeper thought that "they were immaterial."
2. Accrued vacation pay for the year of $34,000 was not recorded because the bookkeeper "never heard that you had to do it."
3. Insurance for a 12-month period purchased on November 1 of this year was charged to insurance expense in the amount of $2,568 because "the amount of the check is about the same every year."
4. Reported sales revenue for the year is $2,213,280. This includes all sales taxes collected for the year. The sales tax rate is 6%. Because the sales tax is forwarded to the state’s Department of Revenue, the Sales Tax Expense account is debited. The bookkeeper thought that "the sales tax is a selling expense." At the end of the current year, the balance in the Sales Tax Expense account is $108,580.

D) Greater than $30,000 but less than or equal to $35,000
E) Greater than $35,000
Answer:
A) Less than or equal to 30,000
A) Less than or equal to $365,000
B) Make the part
E) Greater than $35,000
Explanation:
Capital equipment cost = $100000
Annual requirement = 15000
Supply cost per piece = $17.25
In-house production cost per piece = $11
Contract preparation cost = $2100
If quantity at beatk even = x
In-house production = purchase cost
100000 + 11x = 2100 + 17.25x
100000 - 2100 = 17.25x - 11x
97900 = 6.25x
x = break-even quantity = 15664
Cost at breakeven:
100000 + 11(15664)
= 272,304
If demand = 25000 units:
In-house production :
100000 + 11(25000) = 375000
Purchase cost:
2100 + 17.25(25000)
2100 + 431250 = $433,350
The correct decision is to make the part, it is cheaper
Amount saved:
$433,350 - $375,000 = $58,350

The estimated inventory at June 30, 2019, would be:_______.
a. $68,200.
b. $55,000.
c. $71,500
d. $63,250.
Answer:
A. $68,200
Explanation:
Retail Cost
Beginning inventory $60,000
$120,000
Plus: Net purchases. $312,000
$480,000
Goods available for sale $372,000
$600,000
Cost to retail percentage = $372,000 ÷ $600,000 = 62%
Less : Net sales
($490,000)
Estimated ending inventory at retail
$110,000
Estimated ending inventory at cost
62% × $110,000 = $68,200
4) (Economies of Scale) Suppose a firm has chosen its quantity so that its marginal cost is equal to the market price, and is making positive profits because its revenues exceed its costs. Is this firm operating in a range where it production exhibits economies of scale or diseconomies of scale
Answer:
The firm is operating in a product range that exhibits diseconomies of scale. A further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
The company operates within a target area where there have been efficiency gains throughout production. Since the company makes benefits and opportunities, which means that the profitability outweighs the amount, the price could perhaps outweigh the estimated price at either the amount of development. As well as the valuation is equivalent to the cost, and marginal cost should therefore significantly increase the overall value.Researchers understand exactly this because when market forces are already in place, marginal cost is already below the estimated price, such that, marginal cost would be below the estimated price. After all, once government subsidies have been in place because when efficiency gains are in place, marginal cost should be above total value, which indicates that sometimes marginal cost exceeds average cost whenever economies of level have been in place.Which of the following are degrees of conflict:
specific
mild difference
disagreement
litigation
Answer:
Answer is Mild difference.

a. The breakeven point for tandoori A and B is 1000 and 1556 respectively.
b. The tandoori B should be selected as it contains less variable cost.
a. The break-even point is
For tandoori A= 2,000 ÷($3 - $1)
= 1,000
For tandoori B= 3500 ÷ ($3 - $0.75)
= 1556
b.
The Point of indifference is
= (3500 - 2000) ÷ ($1 - $0.75)
= 6000
The following things should be considered:
For tandoori A, it contains a lesser fixed cost.For tandoori B, it contains lesser variable cost also it makes high yearly production.Therefore we can conclude that the tandoori B should be selected as it contains less variable cost.

Sheila Williams, a medical secretary, earns $2,437 monthly for a 34-hour week. For overtime work, she receives extra pay at the regular hourly rate up to 40 hours and time and one-half beyond 40 hours in any week. During one semimonthly pay period, Williams worked 10 hours overtime. Only 2 hours of this overtime were beyond 40 hours in any one week. Compute the following amounts:
a. The regular semimonthly earnings
b. The overtime earnings
c. The total earnings
Answer:
a. The regular semimonthly earnings
regular semimonthly earnings = [34 hours + 34 hours + (10 hours - 2 hours)] x [$2,437 / (34 hours x 4)] = 76 hours x $17.92/hr = $1,361.85
b. The overtime earnings
overtime earnings = 2 hours x [$2,437 / (34 hours x 4)] x 1.5 = $53.76
c. The total earnings
total earnings = $1,361.85 (regular earnings) + $53.76 (overtime earnings) = $1,415.61
Consider the following process that makes customized suits. When an order is placed, measurement is taken, which takes 30 minutes to complete. After taking the measurement, materials are prepared and cut, and this takes one hour. Once the materials are prepared and cut, the materials are sewed. Sewing takes 2.5 hours on average per order. The process operates for 10 hours a day. The following picture summarizes the process.
1. What is the capacity of the process in [suits/day]?
2. Assume that the demand for the customized suit is 0.2[suits/hour]. What should the flow rate of the process be in [suits/day]?
3. Assume that the demand for the customized suit is 0.5[suits/hour]. What is the implied utilization (in %) of the Sewing stage?
4. Assume that the demand for the customized suit is 0.5[suits/hour]. What is the utilization (in %) of the Measuring stage?
Answer:
1. The capacity of the process
= 2.5 suits /day
2. The flow rate of the process = 2.5 suits/10 hours
= 0.25 suits per hour
3. The implied utilization of the Sewing stage = (0.5 * 150 minutes * 4) 300 minutes = 5/10
= 50%
4. The utilization of the Measuring stage = (0.5 * 30 minutes * 4) 60 minutes = 1/10
= 10%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Time taken for the measurement of a suit = 30 minutes
Time for preparation and cutting of materials = 60 minutes (1 hour)
Time for sewing = 150 minutes (2.5 hours or 2 hours, 30 minutes)
Total time taken to make a suit = 4 hours
Available production time per day = 600 minutes (6 hours)
Therefore, 6/4 suits can be produced per day, this equals 2.5 suits.

Required:
1. Using a plantwide overhead rate based on cases, compute the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa.
2. Using the plantwide overhead rate, determine the total cost per case for the two products if the direct materials and direct labor cost is $10 per case of Extra Fine and $9 per case of Family Style.
3.a. If the market price of Extra Fine Salsa is $19 per case and the market price of Family Style Salsa is $13 per case, determine the gross profit per case for each product.
3.b. What might management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line?
Answer:
1.$4.58 per cases
2. Extra Fine $14.58
Family Style $13.58
3a. Extra Fine $4.42
Family Style $0.58
3b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may inturn make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where the cost are not reduced
Explanation:
1. Computation for the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa using Plantwide overhead rate
Using this formula
Overhead cost=Total overhead cost/Total volume
Let plug in the formula
First step is to calculate the Total overhead cost
Total overhead cost = $132,300+ $347,000+$208,000
Total overhead cost =$687,300
Second step is to calculate the Total volume
Total volume= 34,000 +116,000
Total volume=150,000 cases
Now let calculate the Overhead cost
Overhead cost=$687,300/150,000 cases
Overhead cost=$4.58 per cases (rounded)
Therefore since we are making use of plantwide rate which means that same overhead cost of the amount of $4.58per cases will be assigned to each of the two case .
2. Calculation to determine the total cost per case for the two products
Extra Fine Family Style
Direct materials + Direct Labor $ 10.00 $ 9.00
Add Overhead $4.58 $4.58
Manufacturing cost per case $ 14.58 $ 13.58
Therefore the the total cost per case for the two products will be:
Extra Fine $14.58
Family Style $13.58
3-A Calculation to determine the gross profit per case for each product.
Extra Fine Family Style
Selling price per case $ 19.00 $ 13.00
Less Manufacturing cost per case $14.58 $13.58
Gross profit (loss) per case $ 4.42 $ (0.58 )
Therefore the gross profit per case for each product will be ;
Extra Fine $4.42
Family Style $0.58
3-b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit because they are not profitable which may inturn make the company to stop the production of the product In a situation where the cost are not reduced .
