World Company expects to operate at 80% of its productive capacity of 66,250 units per month. At this planned level, the company expects to use 26,500 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.500 direct labor hours per unit. At the 80% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $53,000 fixed overhead cost and $331,250 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $389,000 actual overhead and 23,500 actual labor hours while producing 50,000 units. (1) Compute the overhead volume variance. (2) Compute the overhead controllable variance.
Answer:
Overhead volume variance = $3,000 Unfavorable
Overhead controllable variance = $26,500 unfavorable
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
Number of units produced = 80% × 66,250
= 53,000 units
Standard = 26,500 hours ÷ 53,000 units
= 0.5 direct labor hour per unit
Particulars a b Direct labor hour(a ÷ b)
Variable overhead rate $331,250 26,500 $12.5 per hour
Fixed overhead rate $53,000 26,500 $2 per hour
Total overhead rate $384,250 $15 per hour
The standard hours to produce 50,000 units = 25,000 (50,000 units × 0.50 hours per unit.)
Applied fixed overhead = $2 × 25,000
= $50,000
Overhead fixed volume variance is
= $53,000 - $50,000
= 3,000 unfavorable
Now
b) Standard hour = 50,000 units × 0.5 direct labor hour per unit
= 25,000
Overhead rate(a) Standard hours(b) Applied overhead(a × b) Actual variance
Variable overhead $12.5 25,000 $312,500
Fixed overhead $2 25,000 $50,000
Total overhead $14.5 25,000 $362,500 $389,000
= $362,500 - $389,000
$26,500 unfavorable
If the actual cost is more than the standard one than the variance should be unfavorable and If the actual cost is less than the standard one than the variance should be favorable

Markland First National Bank of Rolla utilizes Kanban techniques in its check processing facility. The fol-lowing information is known about the process. Each Kanban container can hold 50 checks and spends 24 minutes a day in processing and 2 hours a day in materials handling and waiting. Finally, the facility operates 24 hours per day and utilizes a policy variable for unforeseen contingencies of 0.25.
If there are 23 kanban containers in use the current daily demand of the check processing facility is ______ units
The current daily demand of the check processing facility using Kanban techniques is 22,750 units.
Explanation:The current daily demand of the check processing facility, operating on Kanban techniques, can be calculated using the formula: Kanban Quantity = Demand x Lead Time x (1 + Policy Variable). In this case:
The Demand is the number of units that need to be processed daily.The Lead Time is the amount of time a Kanban container spends in processing and materials handling (24 minutes for processing + 120 minutes for handling = 144 minutes in total).The Policy Variable is an additional amount of time added for unforeseen contingencies, which is 0.25 in this case.Given that there are 23 Kanban containers in use and each kanban container can hold 50 checks, it suggests that the facility can process 1,150 checks (23 kanbans * 50 checks) during the sum of the processing and waiting time (144 minutes) in a day. Therefore, considering the facility operates 24 hours, the current daily demand would be (1,150 checks * (24*60 minutes/144 minutes) * (1+0.25)) = 22,750 units.

Suppose you examine the central bank’s balance sheet and observe that since the previous day, reserves had fallen by $100 million. In addition, on the asset side of the central bank’s balance sheet, securities had fallen by $100 million. Do you think the central bank was aiming to increase, decrease, or maintain the size of the money supply by carrying out the changes described to its balance sheet
Answer:
The Central Bank is trying to increase money supply.
Explanation:
When the Central Bank makes moves to increase reserves, it means that it is simply trying to mop up excess cash from the economy to fight inflation. Spiking inflation means that the power of a currency is gradually being eroded. The Central Bank cannot allow this to happen so it hits the "Reduce Money In Circulation" button. It does this by reviewing upwards, the money reserves which commercial banks must hold with the Central Bank.
It can also increase the rate at which it lends to the Commercial Banks and Investment houses. Commercial Banks, in turn, transfer the additional cost of borrowing to businesses who will seek loans. This slows down the rate at which money is pumped into the economy.
In the question, however, we notice that the Central Bank has enervated its reserves. This means that it is pumping more money into the economy. This economic move may have been executed to prevent the economy from slipping into a recession or simply to stimulate the economy.
In the short run, increased money supply means, businesses have more access to funds from commercial banks. More funds mean, more investment. Increased investment spending means the businesses will need to expand operations, hire more staff, and the multiplier effect goes on and on.

Michael's, Inc., just paid $2.20 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 4.8 percent. If you require a rate of return of 9 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock?
Answer:
The maximum price that should be paid for one share of the company today is $54.895
Explanation:
The price of a stock that pays a dividend that grows at a constant rate forever can be calculated using the constant growth model of Dividend discount model (DDM) approach. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D1 / r - g
Where,
D1 is the expected dividend for the next period or D0 * (1+g)r is the required rate of returng is the growth rate in dividendsSO, the maximum that should be paid for this stock today is:
P0 = 2.2 * (1 + 0.048) / (0.09 - 0.048)
P0 = $54.895 rounded off to $54.90
At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead for the year was estimated to be $1,052,700. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 36,400 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $990,000, and manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $65,600. If the predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours, then the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been: (Do not round intermediate calculation.)
Answer:
36,300 hours
Explanation:
For computing the estimated direct labor hours first we need to find out the manufacturing overhead applied and predetermined overhead applied which is shown below:-
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual Overhead + Over applied Overhead
= $990,000 + $65,600
= $1,055,600
and
Predetermined overhead rate = Manufacturing overhead applied ÷ Actual direct labor hours
= $1,055,600 ÷ 36,400 hours
= 29
So,
Estimated direct labor hours = Estimated total manufacturing Overhead ÷ Predetermined overhead rate
= $1,052,700 ÷ 29
= 36,300 hours
So, for computing the estimated direct labor hours we simply applied the above formula.

An investment firm recommends that a client invest in bonds rated AAA, A, and B. The average yield on AAA bonds is 4%, on A bonds 5%, and on B bonds 8%. The client wants to invest twice as much in AAA bonds as in B bonds. How much should be invested in each type of bond under the following conditions? A. The total investment is $28 comma 000, and the investor wants an annual return of $1 comma 460 on the three investments. B. The values in part A are changed to $38 comma 000 and $1 comma 990, respectively.
Answer:
let A = AAA bonds that yield 4%
let a = A bonds that yield 5%
let B = B bonds that yield 8%
A = 2B
A)
A + a + B = 28,000 (replace A with 2B)
0.04A + 0.05a + 0.08B = 1,460 (replace A with 2B)
2B + a + B = a + 3B = 28,000 ⇒ a = 28,000 - 3B
0.08B + 0.05a + 0.08B = 0.05a + 0.16B = 1,460 (replace a with 28,000 - 3B)
0.05(28,000 - 3B) + 0.16B = 1,400 - 0.15B + 0.16B =1,460
1,400 + 0.01B = 1,460
0.01B = 1,460 - 1,400 = 60
B = 60 / 0.01 = $6,000
A = $12,000
a = $28,000 - $6,000 - $12,000 = $10,000
AAA bonds = $12,000
A bonds = $10,000
B bonds = $6,000
B)
A + a + B = 38,000 (replace A with 2B)
0.04A + 0.05a + 0.08B = 1,990 (replace A with 2B)
2B + a + B = a + 3B = 38,000 ⇒ a = 38,000 - 3B
0.08B + 0.05a + 0.08B = 0.05a + 0.16B = 1,990 (replace a with 28,000 - 3B)
0.05(38,000 - 3B) + 0.16B = 1,900 - 0.15B + 0.16B =1,990
1,900 + 0.01B = 1,990
0.01B = 1,990 - 1,900 = 90
B = 90 / 0.01 = $9,000
A = $18,000
a = $38,000 - $9,000 - $18,000 = $11,000
AAA bonds = $18,000
A bonds = $11,000
B bonds = $9,000
Kim will only buy cars from Japanese automakers because she thinks cars made in the United States are of inferior quality. She has this belief even though she has never studied the ratings of cars made in the United States. What type of communication barrier does this represent?
Answer:
Perception barrier
Explanation:
Perception barrier in communication occurs when the preconceived idea that a person holds about a particular situation influences his choice of decision.
In such a situation , the perceiver makes a less effort in arriving at a choice as he already has a formed opinion as a driver of his choice which can always lead to a wrong choice except in a few cases.
This explains Kim's action as she is already biased about cars from United states.

Marciano Manufacturing uses a standard cost system. Standards for direct materials are as follows: Direct materials (pounds per unit of output) 3 Cost per pound of direct materials $ 6 The company plans to produce 2 comma 000 units and has purchased on account 12 comma 000 pounds of direct materials at a net cost of $ 43 comma 800. What is the journal entry to record this transaction?
Answer:
Debit Raw Materials Inventory with $72,000; Credit Direct materials Cost Variance with 28,200, and Credit Accounts Payable with $43,800.
Explanation:
Direct materials purchase on account = $43,800
Standard cost of direct materials = 12,000 * $6 = $72,000
Direct materials cost variance = $72,000 - $43,800 = $28,200
The journal entries will therefore be as follows:

Airbolt Avionics makes aircraft instrumentation. Their basic navigation radio requires $ 120 in variable costs and requires $ 3 comma 000 per month in fixed costs. If it processes the radio further to enhance its functionality, it will require an additional $ 20 per unit of variable costs and $ 400 per month in fixed costs. The marketing manager believes the sales price of the radio can be increased from $ 270 to $ 300. In making this decision, the amount of additional fixed costs per month is a relevant cost.
Answer:
regular sales price $270, total sales per month = 10 units
basic manufacturing costs:
variable cost per unit $120
fixed costs $3,000
if further processed, sales price $300
if further processed:
additional variable cost $20 per unit
additional fixed costs $400
At what sales price level would the new, improved radio begin to improve operating earnings?
sales price $270
revenue $2,700
variable costs -$1,200
fixed costs -$3,000
operating income -$1,500
sales price $300
revenue $3,000
variable costs -$1,400
fixed costs -$3,400
operating income -$1,800
Since relevant costs increase by $60 per unit (= $20 variable costs and $400/10 in fixed costs), then the sales price should increase more than $60 in order to lower the company's losses.
If the company wants to make a profit, then it should increase its sales price by more than $180 per unit. If the radio is processed further, in order to break even its sales price should be $480 per unit.
sales price $480
revenue $4,800
variable costs -$1,400
fixed costs -$3,400
operating income $0
Any sales price above $480 will result in an operating profit.
nder the general transfer pricing rule with excess capacity, the opportunity cost would be equal: Multiple Choice zero. the direct expenses incurred in producing the goods. the total difference in the cost of production between two divisions. the contribution margin forgone from the lost external sale. the summation of variable cost plus fixed cost.
Answer:
ZERO.
Explanation:
A transfer price normally is used to determine the cost to charge another division, subsidiary, or holding company for services rendered. It is said that transfer prices are priced based on the going market price for that good or service. Transfer pricing can also be applied to intellectual property such as research, patents, and royalties.
However, companies at times can also use (or misuse) this practice by altering their taxable income, thus reducing their overall taxes. The transfer pricing mechanism is a way that companies can shift tax liabilities to low-cost tax jurisdictions.
Answer:
zero
Explanation:
When there is an excess capacity available, the opportunity cost will be zero, company can use this capacity to make the potential benefit from an alternative. Transfer pricing is the price charged to a subsidiary division of a company. This price can also be charged by the subsidiary to the parent company. Some companies use this to manage the tax matters. It may also applicable to the transfer of assets of the companies.
On January 1 Primary Manufacturing had a beginning balance in WorkminusinminusProcess Inventory of $ 80 comma 700 and a beginning balance in Finished Goods Inventory of $ 21 comma 000. During the year, Primary incurred manufacturing costs of $ 353 comma 000. In addition, the following transactions occurred during the year: Job Aminus12 was completed for a total cost of $ 125 comma 000 and was sold for $ 126 comma 000. Job Aminus13 was completed for a total cost of $ 203 comma 000 and was sold for $ 212 comma 000. Job Aminus15 was completed for a total cost $ 62 comma 000 but was not sold as of yearminusend. The Manufacturing Overhead account had an unadjusted credit balance of $ 10 comma 000, and was adjusted to zero at yearminusend. What was the final balance in the Cost of Goods Sold account?
Answer:
$318,000
Explanation:
The formula to compute the final balance in the cost of goods sold is shown below:
= Total cost of Job A -12 + Total cost of Job A -13 - unadjusted credit balance of manufacturing overhead account
= $125,000 + $203,000 - $10,000
= $318,000
The cost of goods sold refers to the direct cost that includes the direct material , direct labor cost etc
The final balance in the Cost of Goods Sold account for Primary Manufacturing for the year is $328,000, which includes the costs of Job A-12 and Job A-13 which were sold within the year.
Explanation:To calculate the final balance in the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) account, we need to look at the cost of Job A-12 and Job A-13, both of which were completed and sold within the year. The total cost of these jobs is $125,000 (for Job A-12) plus $203,000 (for Job A-13) which comes to $328,000. This amount represents the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for the year as it includes the manufacturing costs of the goods that were sold. The Job A-15, which was not sold, is not included in the COGS but will be part of the ending inventory of work in process or finished goods.

The board of directors of Weston Company declared a cash dividend of $1.50 per share on 42,000 shares of common stock on July 15, 2007. The dividend is to be paid on August 15, 2007, to stockholders of record on July 31, 2007. The correct entry to be recorded on August 15, 2007, will include a Group of answer choices debit to Retained Earnings. credit to Retained Earnings. credit to Dividends Payable. debit to Dividends Payable.
Answer:
The correct option is debit to Dividends Payable
Explanation:
On the declaration date of dividends,the appropriate entries in the books of accounts would be to debit retained earnings since dividends are appropriated from retained earnings and a credit to dividends payable as an outstanding obligation owed to shareholders.
On payment date(August 15,2007),a debit would be passed in the dividends payable account and a credit sent to cash/bank account as an outflow of cash from the business to stockholders.
Suppose the price of salt increases by 25 percent and, as a result, the quantity of pepper demanded (holding the price of pepper constant) increases by 4 percent. The cross-price elasticity of demand between salt and pepper is nothing. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places and include a minus sign if appropriate.) In this example, salt and pepper are ▼ substitutes not related complements . Instead, suppose salt and pepper were complements. If so, then the cross-price elasticity of demand between salt and pepper would be A. negative. B. zero. C. positive. D. greater than 1. E. greater than minus1.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Price of salt increases by = 25%
Quantity of pepper demanded increases by = 4%
Cross price elasticity = Quantity of demand increases ÷ Price of salt increases
= 4% ÷ 25%
=0.16
Hence Cross-price elasticity of demand between salt and pepper would be positive.
So option (C) is answer
The cross-price elasticity of demand between salt and pepper determines whether they are substitutes or complements. If the cross-price elasticity is zero, they are substitutes. If it is negative, they are complements.
Explanation:In this scenario, the cross-price elasticity of demand between salt and pepper is zero, indicating that they are not related complements. If salt and pepper were complements, the cross-price elasticity of demand between them would be negative. This means that as the price of one product increases, the quantity demanded of the other product would decrease.

Jan's Dry Cleaning holds $10,000 on a typical day, although only $2,000 is essential for carrying out business. Making a midday deposit is estimated to reduce cash holdings to $8,000 and cost an extra $80 per year in lost production. If, in addition, an armored car service is engaged to pick up cash more frequently for a fee of $120 per year, cash holdings will be further reduced to $6,000 per day. Employing a computerized cash management service for an annual fee of $180 would reduce cash holdings further to $4,000. If any reduction in cash holdings will be invested in government bonds earning 3 percent, then how much money should Jan's hold?
Answer: $6000
Explanation:
If holding is $10000,
Reduction in cash holding = (10000-10000) = 0
Interest earned in government bonds=(Reduction in holdings) × 0.03 =0
Cost of deposits = 0
Additional benefit = (interest earned - cost of deposit)
Additional benefit = 0-0 = 0
Making a mid day deposit;
Reduction in cash holding = (10000-8000) = $2000
Interest earned in government bonds = Reduction in holdings × 0.03
= 2000 × 0.03 =$60
Cost of deposits=$80
Additional benefit=$60-80=-$20
Using a armored car service;
Reduction in cash holding=(10000-6000)=4000
Interest earned in government bonds= 4000 × 0.03 = $120
Cost of deposits=$120
Additional benefit=120 - 120= $0
Using computerized cash management service;
Reduction in cash holding=(10000-4000)=6000
Interest earned in government bonds;
6000 × 0.03 = $180
Cost of deposits=$180
Additional benefit=180 - 180=$0
Additional benefit is maximized in case of both computerized management service and armor vehicle . So, Optimal cash holding is $6000
Acme Enterprises began the new year owing its suppliers $3,000 for merchandise purchased last year. Acme then sold half of this merchandise for $5,000 on account. Two weeks later, Acme paid its suppliers $1,000 and bought another $4,000 of merchandise on account. Acme now has an Accounts payable balance of ______. $4,500 $5,500 $11,000 $6,000 $1,000
Answer:
Acme's current balance of accounts payable is $6000
Explanation:
The closing balance of accounts payable can be calculated using the opening balance and adjusting the changes during the period to the opening balance.
The closing balance can thus be calculated as:
Closing balance = Opening balance + Credit purchases - Payment to Accounts payable
Closing balance = 3000 + 4000 - 1000
Closing balance = $6000
were hired as a consultant to Quigley Company, whose target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equity. The interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost of common from retained earnings is 11.25%, and the tax rate is 40%. The firm will not be issuing any new common stock. What is Quigley's WA
Answer:
8.15%
Explanation:
The computation of the WACC is shown below:
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.35 × 6.50%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.10 × 6%) + (0.55 × 11.25%)
= 1.365% + 0.6% + 6.1875%
= 8.15%
We simply multiplied the weighted of each capital structure with its cost so that the weighted cost of capital could come
To find Quigley Company's WACC, we calculate the weighted costs of debt, preferred stock, and common equity. Considering the proportions and costs provided, Quigley's WACC is 8.15%.
To calculate Quigley Company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), we need to weigh the cost of each component by its proportion in the target capital structure. Given the information:
Debt: 35%Preferred Stock: 10%Common Equity: 55%Interest rate on new debt: 6.50%Yield on preferred: 6.00%Cost of common equity from retained earnings: 11.25%Tax rate: 40%Steps to Calculate Quigley's WACC:
Cost of Debt after Tax:
Formula: Cost of Debt * (1 - Tax Rate)
Calculation: 6.50% * (1 - 0.40) = 3.90%
Component Costs:
Debt: 3.90%
Preferred: 6.00%
Common Equity: 11.25%
Formula: (Weight of Debt * Cost of Debt after Tax) + (Weight of Preferred * Cost of Preferred) + (Weight of Common Equity * Cost of Common Equity)
Calculation: (0.35 * 3.90%) + (0.10 * 6.00%) + (0.55 * 11.25% = 1.365% + 0.60% + 6.1875%= 8.1525%
Therefore, Quigley Company's WACC is 8.15%
Kuzio Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 130 100 % Variable expenses 78 60 % Contribution margin $ 52 40 % The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $184,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $5,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 200 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
The company's monthly net operating income increases $4,600
Explanation:
The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month:
Total sales = $130 x 6,000 = $780,000
Total Variable expenses = $78 x 6,000 = $468,000
Net operating income = Total sales - Total Variable expenses - Fixed expenses = $780,000 - $468,000 - $184,000 = $128,000
If Kuzio Corporation increases in the monthly advertising budget of $5,800:
Total sales = $130 x 6,200 = $806,000
Total Variable expenses = $78 x 6,200 = $483,600
Fixed expenses = $184,000 + $5,800 = $189,800
Net operating income = $806,000 - $483,600 - $189,800 = $132,600
The company's monthly net operating income increases = $132,600 - $128,000 = $4,600
Final answer:
Increasing advertising by $250 would result in a profit increase of $2,920.
Explanation:
Your average variable cost (AVC) is $16 per unit.
Your elasticity of demand with respect to advertising is 0.5.
If you increase advertising by $250, your profit will increase by $2,920 (after accounting for the increase in advertising costs).

On January 1, 2021, the Highlands Company began construction on a new manufacturing facility for its own use. The building was completed in 2022. The company borrowed $1,500,000 at 8% on January 1 to help finance the construction. In addition to the construction loan, Highlands had the following debt outstanding throughout 2021: $5,000,000, 12% bonds $3,000,000, 8% long-term note Construction expenditures incurred during 2021 were as follows: January 1 $ 600,000 March 31 1,200,000 June 30 800,000 September 30 600,000 December 31 400,000 Required: Calculate the amount of interest capitalized for 2021 using the specific interest method
Answer: $177,750
Explanation:
January 1st
Construction expenditure 600,000
outstanding interest 12/12= 1
Accumulated expenditure= 600,000
x1 = $600,000
March 31
Construction expenditure = 1,200,000
outstanding interest 9/12=3/4
Accumulated expenditure= 3/4x1,200,000=$ 900.000
June 30
construction expoenditure= 800,000
outstanding interest= 6/12=1/2
Accumulated expenditure= 1/2 x 800000= $400000
September 30
construction expenditure=600,000
outstanding interest=3/12
Accumulated expenditure- 1/4 x600,000=$150,000
December 31
Construction expenditure= 400,000
outstanding interest =0/12
Accumulated expenditure=0
Total of the average accumulated expenditure =$2,050,000
Weighted average on other debts
Bonds interest of 12% for $5,000,000= $600,000
Long term note = 8% for $3,000,000 =240,000
Total = $840,000
weighted average =$840,000/(3,000,000 + 5,000,000)
= 840,000/8,000,000= 10.5%
Amount of difference =average accumulated expenditure- construction loan
=$2,050,000- $1,500,000
=$550,000
Interest on difference =10.5/100 x $550,000
=$57,750
Interest on amount on construction loan= 8/100 x $1,500,000
= $120,000
Amount of interest capitalized = interest on construction loan + interest on amount obtained from difference of accumulated expenditure and construction loan = $120,000+ $57,750 = $177,750
Final answer:
The amount of interest capitalized for the Highlands Company in 2021 using the specific interest method is $164,000, calculated based on the interest rate of the specific construction loan and the timing of construction expenditures.
Explanation:
When a company incurs costs for constructing an asset for its own use, it can capitalize interest as part of the asset's cost. For the Highlands Company, the amount of interest to be capitalized for 2021 using the specific interest method must be calculated based on the construction loan specifically taken for the asset.
Since the only loan that was taken specifically for the construction was the $1,500,000 at 8%, the interest on this loan is what should be capitalized. The interest cost for a full year on this loan would be $120,000 (which is $1,500,000 × 8%). However, because construction was ongoing throughout the year, we only capitalize interest for the actual amounts spent on construction until each date, for the duration those amounts were outstanding.
The timeline of expenditures is as follows:
January 1: $600,000 - entire yearMarch 31: $1,200,000 - 9 monthsJune 30: $800,000 - 6 monthsSeptember 30: $600,000 - 3 monthsDecember 31: $400,000 - 0 months (since the year ends on this date)To calculate the interest for each period:
$600,000 for 12 months: $600,000 × 8% = $48,000$1,200,000 for 9 months (3/4 of the year): $1,200,000 × 8% × 3/4 = $72,000$800,000 for 6 months (1/2 of the year): $800,000 × 8% × 1/2 = $32,000$600,000 for 3 months (1/4 of the year): $600,000 × 8% × 1/4 = $12,000When we add up each of these amounts, the total interest capitalized for 2021 is $164,000 ($48,000 + $72,000 + $32,000 + $12,000).
When we add up each of these amounts, the total interest capitalized for 2021 is $164,000 ($48,000 + $72,000 + $32,000 + $12,000).
A department adds raw materials to a process at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of January, there were no units in the beginning goods in process inventory; 110,000 units were started into production in January. There were 30,000 units that were 40% complete in the ending goods in process inventory at the end of January. What were the equivalent units of production for materials for the month of January?
Answer:
110,000 units
Explanation:
Given that
Started units in inventory = 110,000 units
Ending inventory units = 30,000 units
Completion percentage = 40%
Based on the above information, the equivalent units of production for the material is equal to the started units in inventory i.e 110,000 units as it already includes the ending inventory plus the given percentage is also considered for the same
