Given that:
The Present worth of geometric series is shown below
= A *[1 - (1+g)^n /(1+i)^n] / (i-g)
Now,
The present cost of worth from EOY 5 to EOY 13 at EOY 4 = 7000 *[1 - (1+0.12)^9 /(1+0.15)^9] / (0.15-0.12)
Thus,
= 7000 *[1 - (1.12)^9 /(1.15)^9] / (0.03)
Which is,
= 7000 * 7.0572647
= 49400.85
Now, The NPW of all costs = 35000 + 7000*(P/A,15%,4) + 49400.85*(P/F,15%,4)
= 35000 + 7000*2.854978 + 49400.85*0.571753
= 83229.93
Therefore the sound improvement better result in a net present worth profit of how much to negate the costs is $83229.93 or 83230
Note: EOY = End of year.

Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

Walter Utilities is a dividend-paying company and is expected to pay an annual dividend of $1.45 at the end of the year. Its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 9.00% per year. If Walter's stock currently trades for $21.00 per share, what is the expected rate of return
Answer:
The expected rate of return on the stock is 15.90%
Explanation:
The price of a stock that is expected to pay 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 periodr is the required rate of returng is the growth rate in dividendsWe already know the D1, the price today and the growth rate. Plugging in these values in the formula, we can calculate the expected rate of return.
21 = 1.45 / (r - 0.09)
21 * (r - 0.09) = 1.45
21r - 1.89 = 1.45
21r = 1.45 + 1.89
r = 3.34 / 21
r = 0.1590 or 15.90%
Final answer:
The expected rate of return for Walter Utilities is 15.90%.
Explanation:
To calculate the expected rate of return for Walter Utilities, we need to use the Dividend Discount Model (DDM).
The DDM formula is: Expected Rate of Return = Dividend / Stock Price + Growth Rate
Using the given information, we can calculate the expected rate of return as follows:
Expected Rate of Return = $1.45 / $21.00 + 0.09 = 0.0690 + 0.09 = 0.1590 = 15.90%
Therefore, the expected rate of return for Walter Utilities is 15.90%.
Victor's Detailing customers would be willing to pay $57 per detail. The company requires a 40% profit on each job. The average job would cost $30. Victor's uses target costing. Victor's Detailing should: a.find a way to reduce costs. b.sell their services at the price customers are willing to pay. c.sell their business. d.ask their customers to pay more. e.reduce their required percentage to stay in business.
Answer: b.sell their services at the price customers are willing to pay
Explanation:
Target Costing involves the proper research of a product's cost before going into production. It focuses on how to reduce costs and maintain a profitable margin that the company can benefit from both initially as well as over the long run.
In using Target Costing, the company assumes an Anticipated price, this is the price of the market or the price that consumers are willing to pay. This is a KEY assumption with Target Costing and so a company using Target Costing will sell at this Anticipated Price. For this reason option B is correct as Victor's Detailing will charge at the rate the customers will be willing to pay.
Phillip is a real estate investor. He flips homes: He buys undervalued homes and sells them at a higher price later to make a profit out of the price difference (these kind of people are called flippers). He does not do any repairs to the houses he buys. In May 2020 he bought a house built in 1997 for $1,300,000 and sold it two months later for $1,500,000. Not bad.! The real estate agent got 6% of the sale price as her commission. As a result of these transactions, the 2020 GDP increased by
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
When we calculate GDP, its not included the value of the resale product because the value of the original product(house) already included in the year. Reselling item and commission added in GDP. Because Dealer gets commission for his service and this is like his income.
Included Amount in GDP = Sale Price × Agent Commission
= $1,500,000 × 6%
= $90,000
2020, GDP will increase by = $90,000
Salisbury Corporation has been producing and selling 30,000 caps a year. The company has the capacity to produce 50,000 caps with its present facilities. The following information is also available: Selling price per unit: $35 Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing $14 Selling and Administrative $6 Fixed costs in total: Manufacturing $128,000 Selling and Administrative $56,000 Gilbert Company has contacted Salisbury about purchasing 10,000 units at $24 each. A new customer who wants 20,000 units (all or nothing) right now also contacted Salisbury. Salisbury is wondering if they should sell to Gilbert Company or should take the offer by the new customer. Unfortunately, Salisbury cannot take both offers. For the new customer, variable selling and administrative costs would not be incurred. What is Salisbury's minimum price in order for them to accept the offer from the new customer (instead of Gilbert Company)
Answer:
Minimum price = $16
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Selling price per unit = $35
Variable cost for manufacturing = $14
Variable cost for selling and administrative = $6
Fixed cost in manufacturing = $128,000
Fixed cost in selling and administrative = $56,000
For Gilbert = 10,000 × ($24 - $14 - $6)
= $40,000
For New customer = 20,000 × (P - $14) = $40,000
= 20,000P - $280,000 = $40,000
P = $16
Comfort Corporation manufactures two models of office chairs, a standard and a deluxe model. The following activity and cost information has been compiled: Number of Number of Number of Product Setups Components Direct Labor Hours Standard 14 8 265 Deluxe 27 15 200 Overhead costs $ 73 comma 800 $ 82 comma 800 Assume a traditional costing system applies the overhead costs based on direct labor hours. What is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model? (Do not round interim calculations. Round the final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Overhead assigned to standard mode = $89,245.16
Explanation:
Under the traditional absorption costing system, overhead is assigned to units produced using the direct labour hours basis.
Overhead absorption rate = Budgeted overhead for the period/Budgeted labour hours
OAR = $(73,800 + 82,800) /(265 + 200) hours
= $156,600 /465
= $336.77 per hour
Overhead assigned to standard model= OAR × labour hours used
= $336.77 × 265
=$89,245.16
Final answer:
The total overhead costs assigned to the Standard model of office chairs are calculated to be $89,244.05, using the traditional costing system based on direct labor hours.
Explanation:
The total overhead costs assigned to the Standard model of office chairs by Comfort Corporation, when using a traditional costing system based on direct labor hours, requires the calculation of the overhead rate.
Since the total overhead costs are $73,800 + $82,800 = $156,600 and the total direct labor hours for both models are 265 (Standard) + 200 (Deluxe) = 465 hours, the overhead rate per direct labor hour is $156,600 / 465 = $336.77 per hour.
Hence, the total overhead costs assigned to the Standard model, which has 265 direct labor hours, would be 265 hours * $336.77/hour = $89,244.05, rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Answer:
Retained earnings A/c Dr $500,000 (100,000 shares × $5)
To Dividend payable A/c $500,000
(Being the dividend is declared)
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Retained earnings A/c Dr $500,000 (100,000 shares × $5)
To Dividend payable A/c $500,000
(Being the dividend is declared)
For recording this we debited the retained earning as it reduced the stockholder equity and at the same time it increased the liabilities so dividend payable is credited
Sandhill Company purchased $1280000 of 8%, 5-year bonds from Carlin, Inc. on January 1, 2021, with interest payable on July 1 and January 1. The bonds sold for $1329096 at an effective interest rate of 7%. Using the effective interest method, Sandhill Company decreased the Available-for-Sale Debt Securities account for the Carlin, Inc. bonds on July 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 by the amortized premiums of $5048 and $5192, respectively. At February 1, 2022, Sandhill Company sold the Carlin bonds for $1316800. After accruing for interest, the carrying value of the Carlin bonds on February 1, 2022 was $1320500. Assuming Sandhill Company has a portfolio of available-for-sale debt investments, what should Sandhill Company report as a gain (or loss) on the bonds
Answer:
-$3,700
Explanation:
Data provided as per the requirement of gain or loss on the bonds
Sale Price = $1,316,800
Book value of investment = $1,320,500
The computation of gain (or loss) on the bonds is shown below:-
Gain (Loss) on the bonds = Sale Price - Book value of investment
= $1,316,800 - $1,320,500
= -$3,700
Therefore, for computing the gain (or loss) on the bonds we simply applied the above formula and there is a loss on the bonds of -$3,700
Contract for Labor and Materials Galen, a purchasing agent for Ziff Construction Company, agreed orally with Houk Lumber to purchase 800 double- hung vinyl windows. The agreed price was $40,000. When Ziff Construction lost its financial backing, it had to cancel its plans for the houses it had planned to build. Houk sued to collect the purchase price.a. Was this a contract for sale?b. Was this a contract for labor and materials?c. Did the contract meet the Uniform Commercial Code requirement of writing?d. Is it likely that Houk would win the lawsuit?
Answer:
a. Was this a contract for sale?
If this contract had been written and signed by both parties, then it would have been a valid contract for sale. It included the purchase of a specific amount of goods at a specific price.
b. Was this a contract for labor and materials?
No, because it was specific about the price of the windows.
c. Did the contract meet the Uniform Commercial Code requirement of writing?
No it doesn't. UCC requires that all contracts above $500 are written. In the case of merchants that carry out regular operations, they must be able to provide some type of written proof, e.g. an email requesting materials.
d. Is it likely that Houk would win the lawsuit?
No, they will probably lose because they do not have a valid contract.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) It is not a contract for sale
Contract for sale is a legally binding agreement between a buyer and a seller where a buyer decides to buy an item at an agreed price. There is no enough evidence to justify a legal binding in the transaction.
b) It is not a contract for labor and materials.
In contract for labor and materials , there is a legally binding agreement between two parties where the buyer agrees to provide some services and the contractor provides the materials and labor,
C) It does not conform with the Uniform Commercial Code requirement of writing. For a contract to be binding , it must be written with all conditions stated and duly signed by two parties.
D)Houk would not win the law suit as oral contracts are not legally enforceable unless it meets various contact formation standards , which are missing in the scenario .
Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C: The contribution margin per unit for Product L is $120 while the contribution margin for Product C is $112. The machine minutes needed per unit for Product L is 10 minutes while for Product C it is 8 minutes. A total of 60,000 machine minutes are available each period and there is unlimited demand for each product. What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period?
Answer:
The largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period is that of product C ($840,000).
Explanation:
Product L has a contribution margin of $120 but it requires 10 minutes per unit. Therefore, 120/10 = 12. This means its contribution margin is $12.
Product C has a contribution margin of $112 but it requires 8 minutes per unit. Therefore, 112/8 = 14. This means its contribution margin is $14 per minute.
Since we have 60,000 machine minutes, we would want to spend them in the most efficient way possible.
So,
If we produce only product L:
60,000 min * $12 per min = $720,000 total contribution margin
If we produce only product C:
60,000 min * $14 per min = $840,000 total contribution margin
To find the largest possible total contribution margin, we need to calculate the maximum number of units for each product and then multiply it by the contribution margin per unit. Product C has the highest total contribution margin of $840,000.
Explanation:To determine the largest possible total contribution margin for each period, we need to calculate the maximum number of units that can be produced for each product given the available machine minutes. We divide the total machine minutes by the machine minutes needed per unit to get the maximum number of units that can be produced. For Product L, 60,000 machine minutes / 10 minutes per unit = 6,000 units. For Product C, 60,000 machine minutes / 8 minutes per unit = 7,500 units.
Next, we calculate the total contribution margin for each product by multiplying the contribution margin per unit by the number of units produced. For Product L, the total contribution margin = $120 × 6,000 units = $720,000. For Product C, the total contribution margin = $112 × 7,500 units = $840,000.
To find the largest possible total contribution margin, we choose the product with the highest total contribution margin, which is Product C with $840,000.

Carlson's general business credit (before limitations) for the current year is $158,150. His net income tax is $347,930, tentative minimum tax is $313,137, and net regular tax liability is $330,534. He reports no other Federal income tax credits for the year. Compute Carlson's general business credit allowed for the year, and any amounts that can be carried back and forward
Answer:
Carlson's general business credit allowed for the year = 123,357 USD
Explanation:
Let's first arrange the data given:
Business Credit for the current year = 158,150 USD
Net Income Tax = 347,930 USD
TMT = Tentative Maximum Tax = 313,137 USD
Net Regular Tax liability = 330,534 USD
Solution:
330,534 - 25000 = 305,534
305,534 x 25% = 76,383.5
TMT 313,137 > 76,383.3
So,
Net income tax - TMT = 347,930 - 313,137
Net income tax - TMT = 34,793
Now, the current Carlson's general business credit allowed for the year will be :
Current Business Credit - 34,793
158,150 - 34,793 = 123,357 USD
Carlson's general business credit allowed for the year = 123,357 USD
On January 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $162,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $8,000. The equipment is expected to produce 350,000 units during its life. Required: Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods. 3. Units of production (units produced in 2021, 47,000; units produced in 2022, 42,000). (Round "Depreciation per unit rate" answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. Depreciation expenses in 2021 is 15,400 and depreciation expenses in 2022 is also $15,400.
b. depreciation expenses in 2021 is 20,680, while depreciation expenses in 2022 is also $18,480.
Explanation:
Depreciable amount = Purchase price - Residual value = $162,000 - $8,000 = $154,000
a. Using a straight line method
Annual deprecation expense = $154,000 / 10 = $15,400
Therefore, depreciation expenses in 2021 is 15,400 and depreciation expenses in 2022 is also $15,400.
b. Using unit of production method
2021 depreciation expenses = (47,000 / 350,000) * $154,000 = $20,680
2022 depreciation expenses = (42,000 / 350,000) * $154,000 = $18,480.

On March 1, Pimlico Corporation (a U.S.-based company) expects to order merchandise from a supplier in Sweden in three months. On March 1, when the spot rate is $0.44 per Swedish krona, Pimlico enters into a forward contract to purchase 695,000 Swedish kroner at a three-month forward rate of $0.460. At the end of three months, when the spot rate is $0.455 per Swedish krona, Pimlico orders and receives the merchandise, paying 695,000 kroner. What amount does Pimlico report in net income as a result of this cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. As a premium expense
= ($0.460 - $0.44) × 695,000
= $13,900
b. As a difference of 3 months spot rate and spot rate
= ($0.455 - $0.44) × 695,000
= $10,425
The first one represents the premium expense for $13,900 and the second part represents the adjustment to the net income in a positive way
Pimlico Corporation will report a loss in net income amounting to $3,475. This is the additional cost incurred due to the forward rate being higher than the spot rate at the time of the merchandise transaction.
Explanation:On March 1, Pimlico Corporation entered into a forward contract to purchase 695,000 Swedish kroner at a three-month forward rate of $0.460 per Swedish krona to prepare for an expected merchandise order. The contract was aimed at hedging against potential currency fluctuations. When Pimlico Corporation completed the transaction after three months, the spot rate was $0.455 per Swedish krona. They paid 695,000 kroner as per the forward contract rate instead of the spot rate. To determine the amount to report in net income as a result of this cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, we compare the contracted rate with the spot rate at the time of the transaction.
The forward contract rate was $0.460, and the company would have paid 695,000 x $0.460 = $319,700 if it was settling at that rate. However, with the spot rate being $0.455, the merchandise would have cost 695,000 x $0.455 = $316,225 if paid at the spot rate. Therefore, the company paid an extra $319,700 - $316,225 = $3,475 due to the forward contract. This extra cost is what Pimlico Corporation must report as a loss in net income from the cash flow hedge.

Romeo commonly includes these completion bonuses in its contracts and, based on prior experience, estimates the following completion outcomes:
Completed by Probability
July 31, 2014 65%
August 7, 2014 25%
August 14, 2014 5%
August 21, 2014 5%
The transaction price for this transaction is ______.
Answer:
$845,000
Explanation:
The computation of transaction price for this transaction is shown below:-
Transaction price = (Performance bonus on July 31, 2014 × Probability percentage on July 31, 2014) + (Performance bonus on July 7, 2014 × Probability percentage on July 7, 2014) + (Performance bonus on July 14, 2014 × Probability percentage on July 14, 2014) + (Performance bonus on July 21, 2014 × Probability percentage on July 21, 2014)
= ($50,000 × 65%) + (($50,000 - $10,000) × 25%) + (($50,000 - $10,000 - $10,000) × 5%) + ((($50,000 - $10,000 - $10,000 - $10,000) × 5%)
= $32,500 + $10,000 + $1,500 + $1,000
= $45,000
Transaction Price = Warehouse + Transaction price
= $800,000 + $45,000
= $845,000
We simply applied the above formula
On May 15, Helena Carpet Inc., a carpet wholesaler, issued for cash 750,000 shares of no-par common stock (with a stated value of $1.50) at $4, and on June 30, it issued for cash 17,500 shares of preferred stock, $50 par at $60. a. Journalize the entries for May 15 and June 30, assuming that the common stock is to be credited with the stated value. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
First calculate the amount made from Issuing the common stock
Value of Common Stock = 17,500 shares * 1.50
= $1,125,000
Additional Paid In capital (excess that was paid for common stock)
= 4 (price sold at) - 1.5 ( stated price)
= $2.5
= 2.5 * 750,000
= $1,875,000
Tota cash received for Common Stock is therefore,
= $1,875,000 + $1,125,000
= $3,000,000
Then calculate amount made from Issuing Preferred stock
Preferred Stock = 17,500 * 50
= $875,000
Additional Paid In capital (excess that was paid for preferred stock)
=60 (price sold at) - 50 ( par value)
= $10
= 10 * 17,500
= $175,000
The Total cash realised from Issuing Preferred stock is therefore,
= 875,000 + 175,000
= $1,050,000
Transactions can then be Journalized as follows,

inventory Turnover and Days' Sales in Inventory The following financial statement data for years ending December 31 for Holland Company are shown below. 20Y4 20Y3 Cost of merchandise sold $1,489,200 $945,934 Inventories: Beginning of year 359,160 251,120 End of year 516,840 359,160 a. Determine the inventory turnover for 20Y4 and 20Y3. Round to one decimal place. Inventory Turnover 20Y4 20Y3 b. Determine the days' sales in inventory for 20Y4 and 20Y3. Assume 365 days a year. Round interim calculations and final answers to one decimal place. Days' Sales in Inventory 20Y4 days 20Y3 days
Answer:
Year 2014 Year 2013
a) Inventory Turnover ratio 3.4 times and 3.1 times
b) Number of days' sales in inventory 107.3 days and 117.7 days
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
As we know that
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
where,
Average inventory
= (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2
For Year 20Y4 :
Average inventory = ($359,160 + $516,840 ) ÷2
= $438,000
And, the cost of goods sold is $1,489,200
So,
Inventory Turnover ratio
= $1,489,200 ÷ $438,000
= 3.4 times
For Year 20Y3 :
Average inventory = ($251,120 + $359,160) ÷ 2
= $305,140
And, the cost of goods sold is $945,934
So,
Inventory Turnover ratio
= $945,934 ÷ $305,140
= 3.1 times
Now
Number of days' sales in inventory = Number of days in a year ÷ Inventory Turnover ratio
For 20Y4
= 365 days ÷ 3.4
= 107.3 days
For 20Y3
= 365 days ÷ 3.1
= 117.7 days
Basically we applied the above formulas
The inventory turnover for Holland Company in 20Y4 is 3.4 times and for 20Y3 is 3.1 times. The days' sales in inventory are 107.4 days for 20Y4 and 117.7 days for 20Y3.
To calculate the inventory turnover for Holland Company for the years 20Y4 and 20Y3, we use the formula: Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory. For 20Y4, the Cost of Goods Sold is $1,489,200, and the Average Inventory is (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2, which equals ($359,160 + $516,840) / 2 = $438,000. Therefore, the Inventory Turnover for 20Y4 is $1,489,200 / $438,000 = 3.4 times.
For 20Y3, the Cost of Goods Sold is $945,934 and the Average Inventory is ($251,120 + $359,160) / 2 = $305,140. Consequently, the Inventory Turnover for 20Y3 is $945,934 / $305,140 = 3.1 times.
To calculate days' sales in inventory, we divide the number of days in a year by the inventory turnover ratio. For 20Y4, this equals 365 / 3.4 = 107.4 days. For 20Y3, it equates to 365 / 3.1 = 117.7 days.

Sheridan Inc. should record the asset received at the fair value of the asset given up by Pharoah Co. minus the boot received, which is $80,000.
Explanation:
The student has asked about the proper accounting treatment for an asset exchange with no commercial substance in which boot is received. When Sheridan Inc. gives up an asset with a book value of $58,500 and a fair value of $93,500, and Pharoah Co. gives up an asset with a book value of $123,500 and a fair value of $108,500, plus boot of $28,500 received by Pharoah Co., the accounting rules stipulate that the asset received should be recorded at fair value. Therefore, the correct amount that Sheridan Inc. should record for the asset received is the fair value of the asset given up by Pharoah Co., minus the boot received, which equals $108,500 - $28,500, resulting in $80,000.
An external auditor, such as a CPA firm’s accountant, may suspect some irregularities in a client firm’s accounting practices. In what ways might a CFE be of assistance?
A Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) assists in detecting and investigating suspected irregularities in accounting practices that an external auditor may uncover. They specialize in forensic accounting, fraud investigation, and strengthening internal controls as well as ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements in industries like those regulated by the FDA.
An external auditor may suspect irregularities in a client firm's accounting practices. In such cases, a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) could be extremely valuable. CFEs specialize in fraud prevention, detection, and deterrence. They possess the skills to investigate and uncover fraudulent activities within financial statements and accounting practices. The CFE's expertise in forensic accounting enables them to conduct detailed fraud investigations, analyze financial records for signs of manipulation, and gather evidence of wrongdoing.
External auditors are tasked with assessing whether an organization's financial statements are a fair presentation of its financial position and they rely on internal controls and systems to prevent fraud and abuse. However, if fraud is suspected, a CFE can step in to perform a more in-depth analysis. CFEs can work with management to reinforce the company's internal controls and propose corrective actions to remediate any found weaknesses.
Moreover, in regulated industries, such as those overseen by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CFEs can ensure that audit procedures comply with regulatory requirements and assist in demonstrating a functioning and well-documented audit program to regulatory agencies.
Juhasz Corporation makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Direct labor 0.50 hours $ 21.00 per hour Variable overhead 0.50 hours $ 4.10 per hour In August the company produced 8,000 units using 4,190 direct labor-hours. The actual variable overhead cost was $15,922. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead efficiency variance for August is:
Answer:
variable overhead efficiency variance= $779 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.50 hours $ 4.10 per hour
The company produced 8,000 units using 4,190 direct labor-hours. The actual variable overhead cost was $15,922.
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Standard quantity= 0.5*8,000= 4,000
variable overhead efficiency variance= (4,000 - 4,190)*4.1
variable overhead efficiency variance= $779 unfavorable
Answer:
Efficiency variance in $779 unfavorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance: Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.
Since the variable overhead is charged using labour hours, any amount by which the actual labour hours differ from the standard allowable hours would result in a variance
$
8,000 units should have taken (8,000 × 0.50) 4,000
but did take 4,190
Efficiency variance in (hours) 1,90 unfavorable
Standard rate per hour × $4.10
Efficiency variance in ($) $779 unfavorable
Efficiency variance in $779 unfavorable
Barrus Corporation makes 36,000 motors to be used in the productions of its power lawn mowers. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is as follows: Direct materials $9.50 Direct labor $8.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $3.45 Fixed manufacturing overhead $4.40 This motor has recently become available from an outside supplier for $23.95 per motor. If Barrus decides not to make the motors, none of the fixed manufacturing overhead would be avoidable and there would be no other use for the facilities. If Barrus decides to continue making the motor, how much higher or lower will the company's net operating income be than if the motors are purchased from the outside supplier? Assume that direct labor is a variable cost in this company.
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the product.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Barrus Corporation makes 36,000 motors to be used in the productions of its power lawnmowers. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is as follows: Direct materials $9.50 Direct labor $8.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $3.45
This motor has recently become available from an outside supplier for $23.95 per motor.
The fixed costs remain the same in both options, therefore, we will not take it into account for the decision making process.
We need to determine which option is the cheapest.
Produce in-house:
Total cost= 36,000*(9.5 + 8.5 + 3.45)= $772,200
Buy:
Total cost= 36,000*23.95= $862,200
It is cheaper to make the product.

What is her gross pay?
$80.00
$131.76
$144.00
$160.00
Answer:
$160.00
Explanation:
8x2 is 16 and add another 0 you get 160
Final answer:
Andrea's gross pay is calculated by multiplying her hourly wage of $8 by the 20 hours she works per week, resulting in a total of $160.00.
Explanation:
ndrea's gross pay is calculated by multiplying her hourly wage by the number of hours she works per week. Here's a breakdown of the calculation:
Hourly wage: Andrea earns $8 per hour.
Hours worked per week: Andrea works 20 hours per week.
To find her gross pay, we multiply her hourly wage by the number of hours she works per week:
Gross pay = Hourly wage × Hours worked per week
Substituting the values we have:
Gross pay = $8 × 20
Gross pay = $160.00
So, Andrea's gross pay for the week is $160.00. This is the total amount she earns before any deductions are made. Therefore, the correct answer is $160.00.
During the month of May, Lucas Clothing transferred 140,000 shirts to Finished Goods Inventory. There was no beginning work-in-process inventory. The company had 40,000 shirts in process at May 31 and the shirts were 75 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process.
Required:
a. The equivalent units for conversion costs for May ____________.
Answer:
180,000 Units
Explanation:
The equivalent units for can be calculated using the following formula:
Equivalent units for Conversion Cost = Completed + (Ending work in process * Materials %age)
Here
Completed units of shirts are 140,000
Ending work in process is 40,000 Units
The percentage of input is 100% as all the direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process.
So by putting values, we have:
Equivalent units for Conversion Cost = 140,000 Units + 40,000 * 100%
= 180,000 Units

Bonita Corporation’s December 31, 2018 balance sheet showed the following:
8% preferred stock, $10 par value, cumulative, 20300shares
authorized; 15300 shares issued $ 153000
Common stock, $10 par value, 2080000 shares authorized;
2030000 shares issued, 2010000 shares outstanding 20300000
Paid-in capital in excess of par—preferred stock 59000
Paid-in capital in excess of par—common stock 25000000
Retained earnings 7600000
Treasury stock (208000 shares) 655200
Bonita’s total stockholders’ equity was
$45436800.
$53112000.
$52456800.
$53716800.
Answer:
$52,456,800
Explanation:
For computation of total stockholders’ equity first we need to find out the total capital stock and total paid in capital which is shown below:-
Total Capital stock = Preferred stock + Common stock
= $153,000 + $20,300,000
= $20,453,000
Total Paid in capital = Paid in capital in excess of par of common stock + Paid in capital in excess of par of preferred stock
= $25,000,000 + $59,000
= $25,059,000
Total stockholder equity = Total Capital stock + Total Paid in capital + Retained earning - Treasury stock
= $20,453,000 + $25,059,000 + $7,600,000 - $655,200
= $52,456,800 - $655,200
= $52,456,800
Therefore for computing the total stockholder equity we applied the above formula.
