Analysis of a company's financial statements: Below are simplified versions of the balance sheet and income statement for Toys by Tom, Inc. Use this information to answer the following question. A 15% increase in inventory turns for Toys by Tom, Inc. would bring this ratio to ____, suggesting ________ in ________.
Answer: 3.9 times; an improvement; efficiency
Explanation:
Inventory turns is calculated by the formula:
= COGS / Inventory
= 8.4 / 2.50
= 3.36
Increased by 15%:
= 3.36 * (1 + 15%)
= 3.864
= 3.9 times
Inventory turns is used to show how often the inventory was sold in a period. A higher ratio therefore presents increased efficiency and is desired.
A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $348,400 and direct labor hours would be 47,000. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $304,000, and actual direct labor hours were 52,400. The journal entry to apply the factory overhead costs for the year would include a
Answer:
Journal Entry
Debit Work-in-Process $388,284
Credit Manufacturing Overhead $388,284
To record the application of factory overhead costs for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated factory overhead costs = $348,400
Estimated direct labor hours = 47,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $7.41 ($348,400/47,000)
Actual overhead costs = $304,000
Actual direct labor hours = 52,400
Applied overhead costs = $388,284 (52,400 * $7.41)
b) The overhead applied to the production for the year will be the actual direct labor hours by the predetermined overhead rate. This yields a cost that is greater than the actual overhead costs, which means that the manufacturing overhead was overapplied. The cause of this situation is the number of actual direct labor hours worked vis-a-vis the actual overhead costs and the predetermined rate.

It reported the following costs and expenses for the month: Direct materials $ 81,000 Direct labor $ 41,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 19,800 Fixed manufacturing overhead 31,600 Total manufacturing overhead $ 51,400 Variable selling expense $ 14,400 Fixed selling expense 22,800 Total selling expense $ 37,200 Variable administrative expense $ 5,200 Fixed administrative expense 27,400 Total administrative expense $ 32,600 Required: 1. With respect to cost classifications for preparing financial statements: a. What is the total product cost
Answer:
the total product cost is $153,600
Explanation:
The computation of the total product cost is as follows;
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + total manufacturing overhead cost
= $81,000 + $41,000 + $31,600
= $153,600
Hence, the total product cost is $153,600
The other values would be ignored for determining the product cost

Janice Davis, a marketing representative for a U.S. firm, was looking forward to her assignment in Japan because she had visited the country on one occasion. However, her anticipation quickly turned to frustration. Because all store signs were in Japanese, she didn't know where to buy even a broom. Directions and instructions for using appliances were in Japanese. How could Janice have better prepared herself for the cultural shock she experienced
Answer:
Janice should have researched and studied the culture and living conditions of Japan before coming to the country. It is their culture to use the Japanese language for signs and instructions
Explanation:
Culture shock occurs when an individual moves to a cultural environment that is different from their own. This results in a disorientation from experiencing unfamiliar way of life.
If adequate preparation is not made before coming into the new environment it will most likely result in frustration as one finds it difficult to fit in.
In this instance Janice should have studied the culture most especially the language before coming into the country. This would have made it easier for her to adapt to their way of life.
Raymond Moss, vice president of Moss Auto Parts, gets an annual bonus of 15% of any income, before deducting bonus and income taxes, above $100,000. Income before bonus and income taxes is $250,000. The effective income tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Compute the amount of Raymond Moss's bonus. Bonus
Answer:
$22,500
Explanation:
Raymond Moss's bonus is computed as the excess of $100,000 of income before bonus and income taxes.
In other words, the income before bonus and income taxes of $250,000 minus $100,000 is the amount upon which the bonus is computed.
Bonus=excess of income before bonus and income taxes*rate of bonus
income before bonus and income taxes.=$250,000-$100,000
income before bonus and income taxes.=$150,000
bonus rate=15%
Bonus=$150,000*15%
Bonus=$22,500
The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Use this information to answer the following questions.
Beginning inventory 10 units at $55
First purchase 25 units at $60
Second purchase 30 units at $65
Third purchase 15 units at $70
The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold.
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is:________
a. $1,350
b. $1,150
c. $1,375
d. $1,250
Answer:
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is $1,375
Explanation:
Under FIFO the items of inventory purchases earlier will be sold first and the items purchased later will be sold at last.
First, we need to calculate the total available inventory units
Numbers of units available to sale = Beginning Inventory + First purchase + Second purchase + Third purchase = 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units = 80 units
Now 60 units out of 80 are sold the remaining 20 units ( 80 units - 60 units ) will be in the ending inventory.
As per FIFO 20 units will be values as per the last 20 units purchases which will be as follow
Ending Invetory = ( 15 units x $70 ) + ( (20-15) units x $65 ) = $1,375
At Medallion Industries, variable cost per unit is budgeted to be $8.00 and fixed cost per unit is budgeted to be $5.00 in a period when 4,000 units are produced. What is the expected total cost of the units produced at Medallion, if instead, production is actually 5,100 units
Answer:
Total cost= $60,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For 4,000 units:
Unitary variable cost= $8
Unitary fixed cost= $5
First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost:
Total fixed cost= 5*4,000= $20,000
Now, we can determine the total cost for 5,100 units:
Total cost= 5,100*8 + 20,000
Total cost= $60,800
Lois tells Stew he can buy her pool house for $100,000. Stew is so excited to own a home of his own that he leaves a $10,000 check in her mailbox as a starting payment on the pool house. Then, he begins remodeling the pool house, spending $3,000 in repairs and improvements. Lois decides she made a big mistake and attempts to cancel this agreement. The most likely outcome will be:
Answer:
The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house
Explanation:
The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house. This is mainly because Lois accepted Stew's offer of $100,000 and Stew already fulfilled part of the agreement. By simply paying the $10,000 that he left Stew he has already fulfilled part of his side of the agreement which solidifies the agreement and makes it legally binding. Therefore, he would most likely win a court case if Lois decides to back out of the agreement.

Explanation:
The accounting equation states that total assets are equal to total liabilities and stockholders' equity. This equation gives accounting two sides to every transaction. This is known as the double-entry system of accounting. And the two sides are always in agreement before and after each transaction. The equation also implies that an entity's assets are funded by the creditors and the owners (stockholders).

Someone offers to buy your old Ford F-150 truck for 4 equal annual payments, beginning 2 years from today. If you think that the present value of your Ford Truck is only $9,000 and you assume the interest rate is 10%, which one of the below would be the minimum annual payment that youâ d be willing to accept? $2,839.24 $3,435.48 $3,123.16 $2,250
Answer:
$3,123.16
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum annual payment is as follows:
Given that
RATE = 10%
NPER = 10%
PV = $9,000 × (1 + 0.1) = $9,900
FV = $0
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE,NPER,-PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $3,123.16

Suppose Bob and Cho form a cartel and behave as a monopolist. The profit-maximizing __________price isper gallon, and the total output is__________gallons. As part of their cartel agreement, Bob and Cho agree to split production equally. Therefore, Bob's profit is__________, and Cho's profit is____________.
Suppose that Bob and Cho have been successfully operating as a cartel. They each charge the monopoly price and sell half of the monopoly quantity. Then one night before going to sleep, Bob says to himself, "Cho and I aren't the best of friends anyway. If I increase my production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, I can increase my profit even though her profit goes down. I will do that starting tomorrow."
After Bob implements his new plan, the price of water ________ to__________per gallon. Given Cho and Bob's production levels, Bob's profit becomes________ and Cho's profit becomes___________. Because Bob has deviated from the cartel agreement and increased his output of water to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, Cho decides that she will also increase her production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount. After Cho increases her production, Bob's profit becomes__________, Cho's profit becomes_________, and total profit (the sum of the profits of Bob and Cho) is now____________.
Answer:
Suppose Bob and Cho form a cartel and behave as a monopolist. The profit-maximizing price is 2.10 per gallon, and the total output is 240 gallons. As part of their cartel agreement, Bob and Cho agree to split production equally. Therefore, Bob's profit is $252 and Cho's profit is $252.

If I increase my production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, I can increase my profit even though her profit goes down. I will do that starting tomorrow."
After Bob implements his new plan, the price of water decreases to 1.75 per gallon. Given Cho and Bob's production levels, Bob's profit becomes 280 and Cho's profit becomes 210 . Because Bob has deviated from the cartel agreement and increased his output of water to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, Cho decides that she will also increase her production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount. After Cho increases her production, Bob's profit becomes 224 , Cho's profit becomes 224 , and total profit (the sum of the profits of Bob and Cho) is now 448.

The beginning work in process inventory had a cost of $2,380. Determine the cost of completed and transferred-out production and the ending work in process inventory. If required, round to the nearest dollar.
Completed and transferred-out production $
Inventory in process, ending $
Answer:
Part 1
Direct material cost per equivalent units = $194,560 / 25,600 ounces
Direct material cost per equivalent units = $ 7.60 per ounce
Conversion Cost per equivalent units = $98,340 / 29,800 ounce
Conversion Cost per equivalent units = $3.30 per ounce
Part 2
Completed and Transferred out of production = $2380 + (45,000* $2.20) + (3,600 * $0.65) + (45,000 * $0.65)
= $2,380 + $99,000 + $2,340 + $29,250
= $132,970
Inventory in process, ending = (3000 * $2.20) + (1500 * $0.65)
= $6,600 + $975
= $7,575

Credit : Accounts Payable $63,000
Credit : Shares (30,000 x $6) $180,000
Credit ; Gain on Bargain Purchase $356,000
Explanation:
Assets and liabilities are acquired at their Fair Value Amounts instead of Cost or Book Value.
A transfer of some of the asset of a Company is referred as a Asset acquisition transaction instead of Business Combination (Acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses).
This is an asset Acquisition Transaction and no consolidated Financial Statements will be prepared.
The excess of Net Assets Acquired over the consideration is called Gain on Bargain Purchase and this amounts to $356,000.

among the major drawbacks of highly centralized organizational structure is that it allows for tight control from the top that makes it easy to fix accountability when things do not go well. allows top executives to retain authority for most strategic and operating decisions. can lengthen response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions. relies on the assumption that most company personnel have neither the time nor the inclination to direct and properly control the work they are performing and, further, that they lack the knowledge and judgment to make wise decisions about how best to do their work. is based on strict enforcement of detailed procedures backed by rigorous managerial oversight as the most reliable way to keep the daily execution of strategy on track.
Answer: can lengthen response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions
Explanation:
Centralization simply refers to a form of organizational scenario where there is one person at the top that usually makes the major decisions for the company. The powers are usually held by those at the top and messages are passed to the lower level to be implemented.
One major drawback is that it can lengthen the response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions.
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are responsible for many deaths in times of strife and war. Unmanned ground vehicles (robots) can be used to disarm the IEDs and perform other tasks as well. If the robots cost $130,000 each and the military arms unit signs a contract to purchase 3,500 of them now and another 6,500 one year from now, what is the equivalent annual cost of the contract over a 5-year period at 10% per year interest
Answer:
$258,434,439.9
Explanation:
Calculation for what is the equivalent annual cost of the contract
Equivalent annual cost = [3,500 x $130,000 x A/P(10%, 5) ]+ [6,500 x $130,000 x P/F(10%, 5) x A/P(10%, 5)]
Equivalent annual cost = [$455,000,000 x 0.2638] + [$845,000,000 x 0.6209 x 0.2638]
Equivalent annual cost =$120,029,000+$138,405,439.9
Equivalent annual cost =$258,434,439.9
Therefore the equivalent cost of the contract is determined to be $258,434,439.9

The management of Krach Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity. The company's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 13,000 machine-hours. Capacity is 19,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is assumed to be 9500 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and both the estimated amount at the beginning of the year and the actual amount at the end of the year are assumed to be $22,800 per year. For simplicity, it is assumed that this is the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the manufacturing overhead at capacity. It is further assumed that this is also the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, what would be the cost of unused capacity reported on the income statement prepared for internal management purposes
Answer:
the cost of the unused capacity reported is $11,400
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the unused capacity reported is as follows:
= (Estimated amount of overhead ÷ capacity machine hours) × (capacity machine hours - actual machine hours)
= ($22,800 ÷ 19,000 machine hours) × (19,000 - 9,500)
= $1.2 × (9,500)
= $11,400
hence, the cost of the unused capacity reported is $11,400
The company observed that at 20,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $10.50 per hour. When activity jumped to 24,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $9.75. On the basis of this information, the company's fixed maintenance costs were:
Answer:
Total fixed cost element = $90000
Explanation:
To calculate the fixed maintenance cost, first we will use the high-low method to calculate the element of average variable maintenance cost per machine hour in the average total maintenance cost.
The value of highest activity = 24000 * 9.75 = $234000
The value of lowest activity = 20000 * 10.5 = $210000
Average VC per MH = (234000 - 210000) / (24000 - 20000)
Average VC per MH = $6 per machine hour
Total Average variable cost (24000 MH) = 6 * 24000 = $144000
Total fixed cost element = 234000 - 144000 = $90000

Listed below are three items. Required: Classify each of the items as Revenue, Expense, Other Changes to Stockholders' Equity (other than revenue or expense), or None of These: Revenue Expense Other Changes to Stockholders' Equity None of These Deferred Revenue Supplies Expense Issuance of Stock
Answer:
Classification of items as Revenue, Expense, Other Changes to Stockholders' Equity (other than revenue or expense), or None of These:
1. Deferred Revenue = Revenue
2. Supplies Expense = Expense
3. Issuance of Stock = Changes to Stockholders' Equity
Explanation:
Revenue represents the gross income that an entity receives from the sale of goods and services to customers. Revenue is therefore classified as either Sales Revenue or Service Revenue. It is an important item in the computation of the net income of the entity at the end of a financial period.
Expense represents the gross costs incurred by an entity for the sale of goods and services to its customers. It is usually deducted from the Revenue to obtain the net income.
Changes to Stockholders' Equity occur from revenues and expenses. They also occur from other business transactions like the issuance of stock to stockholders.
Assume Italy and Chad can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries. Each farmer in Italy can produce 10 t of grain or 5 t of dates in a season. Each farmer in Chad can also produce 10 t of grain or 25 t of dates.
1. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
2. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
3. Which country has the competitive advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
4. Which country has the comparative advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
Answer:
chad
neither
chad
Italy
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of grain = 5/10 = 0.5t dates
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of dates = 10/5 = 2grains
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of grain = 25/10 = 2.5 dates
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of dates = 10/25 = 0.4 grains
Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of grains while Chad has a comparative advantage in the production of dates
A country has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries. Chad produces 25t of dates while Italy produces 5t of dates, this shows that Chad has an absolute advantage in the production of dates. Both Italy and Chad produces the same quantity of grains so neither have an absolute advantage in the production of grains.
Sunland Company, has 14700 shares of 4%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 60200 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $113000 dividend in 2020 and in 2021. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021
Answer:
2021 Common Stockholders dividends = $49,600
Explanation:
Preference Shareholders are always paid their dividends first before Common Stockholders. If dividend is not declared, Preference dividends are cumulated to the next period and are due !
2019
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = 14700 x $100 x 4% = $58,800
Common Stockholders dividends = $ 0
2020
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = $58,800 (2019) + $54,200 (2020)
Common Stockholders dividends = $0
2021
Preferred Stockholders Dividends = $4,600 (2020 arrears) + $58,800 (2021) = $63,400
Common Stockholders dividends = $113,000 - $63,400 = $49,600
