Landis Company is preparing its financial statements. Gross margin is normally 40% of sales. Information taken from the company's records revealed sales of $25,000; beginning inventory of $2,500 and purchases of $17,500. What is the estimated amount of ending inventory at the end of the period
Answer:
$5,000= ending inventory
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Gross margin is normally 40% of sales.
Sales= $25,000
beginning inventory= $2,500
purchases= $17,500
First, we need to determine the cost of goods sold:
COGS= 25,000*0.6= 15,000
Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the ending inventory:
COGS= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
15,000= 2,500 + 17,500 - ending inventory
5,000= ending inventory
All employees at a factory are receiving a large bonus if there are no reported injuries for 6months. As a result, some employees are hiding their injuries so that they do not cause others to lose their bonus.
What are the reasons for the negative consequences of this bonus scheme? Modify the
scheme to solve the problem.
Answer:
In simple words, first of all the conditions given in the bonus structure are not at all justified as a labor might get injured due to an accident, one should believe that every individuals keeps full diligence during work to save herself or himself from injury.
Therefore, the company should change the bonus conditions overall like paying for the damages to the inured labor like fifty repent salary with leave in case severe injuries.
Morrish Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,100 direct labor-hours will be required in January. The variable overhead rate is $1.80 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $102,950 per month, which includes depreciation of $19,880. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
$95,850
Explanation:
To calculate cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead:
Direct labor cost + Fixed manufacturing overhead
where,
direct labor cost = Direct labor hours × per labor rate
= $7,100 x $1.8 =
$12,780
Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - depreciation
102,950 - 19880 =
Direct labor cost + Fixed manufacturing overhead =
$83,070 + $12,780
= $95,850
The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850
Answer:
The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850
Explanation:
In order to calculate the the January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget we would have to use the following formula:
Total cash disbursement for overhead in January =Variable overhead+Cash portion of fixed manufacturing overhead
Variable overhead = 7,100 direct labor-hours × $1.80 = $12,780
Cash portion of fixed manufacturing overhead = $102,950 - $19,880 = $83,070
Therefore, Total cash disbursement for overhead in January = $12,780 + $83,070
Total cash disbursement for overhead in January =$95,850
The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850

Crimson Inc. recorded credit sales of $779,000, of which $590,000 is not yet due, $110,000 is past due for up to 180 days, and $79,000 is past due for more than 180 days. Under the aging of receivables method, Crimson Inc. expects it will not collect 3% of the amount not yet due, 14% of the amount past due for up to 180 days, and 21% of the amount past due for more than 180 days. The allowance account had a debit balance of $3,500 before adjustment. After adjusting for bad debt expense, what is the ending balance of the allowance account
Answer:
$49,690 credit balance
Explanation:
total credit sales = $590,000
past due up to 180 days = $110,000
past due for more than 180 days = $79,000
Crimson expects to not collect:
3% of credit sales not due yet = $590,000 x 3% = $17,70014% of credit sales past due up to 180 days = $110,000 x 14% = $15,400 21% of credit sales past due for more than 180 days = $79,000 x 21% = $16,590total = $49,690Allowance for uncollectible amounts has $3,500 debit balance
the adjusting entry should be:
Dr Bad debt expense 53,190
Cr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 53,190
The ending balance = $53,190 - $3,500 = $49,690
Chiasso Co. reported a retained earnings balance of $200,000 at December 31, 2020. In September 2021, Chiasso determined that insurance premiums of $30,000 for the three-year period beginning January 1, 2020, had been paid and fully expensed in 2020. Chiasso has a 25% income tax rate. What amount should C report as adjusted beginning retained earnings in its 2021 statement of retained earnings?
Answer:
$215,000
Explanation:
Retained Earning is an equity account and its balance is credit in nature. It is the accumulated balance of all the prior year's income / losses after paying all the dividend. This balance can be used for the dividend payment or reinvestment in the business.
Any prior years adjustment in the revenue and expense will be recorded in the retained earning because it carry the accumulated profit all the prior years.
The premium on insurance for only one year should be recorded, but premium of 3 years is expense in 2020, from which there is an advance premium of 2 years.
Adjustment Value = $30,000 x 2/3 x (1-0.25) = $15,000
The adjustment should be added in the retained earning balance as it was expensed earlier.
Adjusted retained earning balance = $200,000 + $15,000 = $215,000

Paolucci Corporation's relevant range of activity is 8,400 units to 17,000 units. When it produces and sells 12,700 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 7.10 Direct labor $ 4.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.60 Fixed selling expense $ 1.30 Fixed administrative expense $ 0.60 Sales commissions $ 1.25 Variable administrative expense $ 0.50 If 11,700 units are sold, the variable cost per unit sold is closest to:
Answer:
The variable cost per unit sold is closest to $14.85
Explanation:
In order to calculate the variable cost per unit sold we would have to use the following formula:
Total variable cost per unit=(Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable manufacturing overheads+Sales commissions+Variable adminsitrative expenses)
Therefore,Total variable cost per unit=$7.10+$4.00+$2.00+$1.25+$0.50
Total variable cost per unit=$14.85
The variable cost per unit sold is closest to $14.85

Explanation:
Capacity is the maximum level of output that an organization can optimally sustain, to produce goods or provide service to meet it's customer demands.
The denominator-level capacity is a concept used under the capacity management. Denominator-level capacity concept is used to ascertain the capacity level that is considered for analyzing a production process or business operations. They are classified as follows;
i. Normal capacity utilization is based on the level of capacity utilization which satisfy the average customer demand periodically such as trend, cyclical and seasonal factors.
ii. Master-budget capacity utilization is based on the level of capacity expected for the current budget period, typically a year.
iii. Theoretical capacity is the denominator-level concept based on producing continuously at full efficiency.
iv. Practical Capacity is based on the level of capacity that involves unavoidable operating interruptions, such as scheduled equipment maintenance or repair time, holiday shutdowns etc.
A factory machine was purchased for $70,000 on January 1. It was estimated that it would have a $14,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 40,000 hours in the five years. If the actual number of machine hours ran in the first year was 4,000 hours and the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for year 1 would be
Answer:
$5600
Explanation:
The amount of depreciation expense for year 1
depreciation under the first year under units of activity method
[ (cost - salvage value) / estimated machine hours ] * actual machine hours worked in the first year
= [(70000 - 14000) / 40000 ] * 4000
= 56000 / 40000 ) * 4000
= 1.4 * 4000 = $5600 ( amount of depreciation expense for year 1 )

Sales on account are $1,890,000. Cost of goods sold is $1,394,250. Required: 1. Calculate the following risk ratios for 2021:
Answer and Explanation:
The risk ratios are calculated below:
1. Account Receivable Turnover
= Net credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivable
= $1,890,000 ÷ (($98,000 + $102,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,890,000 ÷ $100,000
= 18.9 times
It shows the relation between the net credit sales and the average account receivable
2. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $1394250 ÷ (($105,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,394,250 ÷ $97,500
= 14.3 times
It shows the relation between the cost of goods sold and the average inventory
c. Current Ratio = Current assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= ($242,000 + $98,000 + $105,000 + $5,000) ÷ ($109,000 + $7,000 + $9,000)
= $450,000 ÷ $125,000
= 3.6 times
It shows the relation between the current assets and the current liabilities
d. Acid Test Ratio = Liquid assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= ($450,000 - $105,000) ÷ ($125,000 )
= $345,000 ÷ $125,000
= 2.76 times
It shows the relation between the liquid assets which do not involved prepaid assets, inventory, etc and the current liabilities
e. Debt to Equity = Debt ÷ Equity
= ($109,000 + $7,000 + $9,000 + $110,000) ÷ ($800,000 + $357,000 )
= $235,000 ÷ $1,157,000
= 0.203
It shows the relation between the debt and equity
1. Account Receivable Turnover
= Net credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivable
= $1,890,000 ÷ (($98,000 + $102,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,890,000 ÷ $100,000
= 18.9 times
It represents the relationship between the net credit sales and the average account receivable.
2. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $1394250 ÷ (($105,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,394,250 ÷ $97,500
= 14.3 times
It represents the relationship between the cost of goods sold and the average inventory.
c. Current Ratio = Current assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= ($242,000 + $98,000 + $105,000 + $5,000) ÷ ($109,000 + $7,000 + $9,000)
= $450,000 ÷ $125,000
= 3.6 times
It represents the relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem) The management of Serpas Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $180,000, would last for 5 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $46,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:
Answer:
-$18,207
Explanation:
Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.
Net Present Value = Initial Investment + Present value of reduced Labor and other costs
Net Present value = -$180,000 + $46,000( 1 - ( 1 + 13% )^-5 / 13% )
Net Present value = -$180,000 + 161,793
Net Present value = -$18,207

19. Jay is a member of Klondike Coffee, LLC, a limited liability company. Jay is liable for Klondike's debts a. in proportion to the total number of members. b. to the extent of his investment in the firm. c. to the extent that the other members do not pay the debts. d. to the full extent.
Answer: . b. to the extent of his investment in the firm.
Explanation:
In a Limited Liability Company, the legal characteristics of the company is that the owners be liable for debts only up to the amount of capital that they invested. That is where the name comes from because the liability that the owners can take on are limited.
For instance, if in the above scenario Klondike went bankrupt and owed people $3,000. If all Jay had invested was $1,000, the maximum amount that can be taken from Jay is his $1,000 capital and nothing more.
Majer Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6.2 ounces $ 4.00 per ounce $ 24.80 Direct labor 0.5 hours $ 17.00 per hour $ 8.50 Variable overhead 0.5 hours $ 4.00 per hour $ 2.00 The company reported the following results concerning this product in February. Originally budgeted output 4,900 units Actual output 5,000 units Raw materials used in production 30,200 ounces Actual direct labor-hours 2,080 hours Purchases of raw materials 32,600 ounces Actual price of raw materials $ 67.10 per ounce Actual direct labor rate $ 57.60 per hour Actual variable overhead rate $ 5.80 per hour The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The variable overhead efficiency variance for February is:
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance $1,680 Favorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance: Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.
Since the variable overhead is charged using labour hours, any amount by which the actual labour hours differ from the standard allowable hours would result in a variance
Hours
5000 units should have taken (5000×0.5 hours) 2,500
but did take 2,080
Labour hours variance 420 favorable
Standard variable overhead rate ×$ 4.00 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance $1,680 Favorable
Method A assumes simple interest over final fractional periods, while Method B assumes simple discount over final fractional periods. The annual effective rate of interest is 20%. Find the ratio of the present value of a payment to be made in 1.5 years computed under method A to that computed under Method B.
Answer:
The answer is "1.1"
Explanation:
In the case of a single Interest, the principal value is determined as follows:
[tex]\ I = Prt \\\ A = P + I\\A = P(1+rt) \\\\A = amount \\P= principle\\r = rate\\t= time[/tex]
In case of discount:
[tex]D = Mrt \\P = M - D \\P = M(1-rt)\\\\Where, D= discount \\M =\ Maturity \ value \\[/tex]
Let income amount = 100, time = 1.5 years, and rate =20 %.
Formula:
A = P(1+rt)
A =P+I
by putting vale in the above formula we get the value that is = 76.92, thus method A will give 76.92 value.
If we calculate discount then the formula is:
P = M(1-rt)
M = 100 rate and time is same as above.
[tex]P = 100(1-0.2 \times 1.5) \\P = 100 \times \frac{70}{100} \\P = 70[/tex]
Thus Method B will give the value that is 70
calculating ratio value:

Bramble Company purchased equipment on January 1, 2018 at a total invoice cost of $347000; additional costs of $5000 for freight and $32000 for installation were incurred. The equipment has an estimated salvage value of $11000 and an estimated useful life of five years. The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 if the straight-line method of depreciation is used is:__________
a. $153600.
b. $136400.
c. $134400.
d. $149200.
Answer:
d. $149200.
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset.
Deprecation expense using the straight line method = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Cost of asset = $347,000 + $5,000 + $32,000 = $384,000
( $384,000 - $11,000) / 5 = $74,600
Deprecation expense each year would be $74,600.
Accumulated depreciation in 2019 would be the sum of deprecation expense in 2018 and 2019
$74,600 × 2 = $149,200

Mcfarlain Corporation is presently making part U98 that is used in one of its products. A total of 18,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 4.70 Direct labor $ 4.20 Variable overhead $ 1.70 Supervisor's salary $ 5.10 Depreciation of special equipment $ 5.10 Allocated general overhead $ 5.50 An outside supplier has offered to produce and sell the part to the company for $22.80 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition to the facts given above, assume that the space used to produce part U98 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $73,100 per year for that product. What would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying part U98 from the outside supplier and using the freed space to make more of the other product
Answer:
company's net profit will decrease by $54,700
Explanation:
the avoidable costs of producing part U98 are:
direct materials = $4.70direct labor = $4.20variable overhead = $1.70supervisor's salary = $5.10total cost per unit = $15.70avoidable cost of producing 18,000 units = 18,000 x $15.70 = $282,600
depreciation of special equipment and fixed overhead costs are not avoidable.
revenue generated by using the spare plant area = $73,100
total relevant savings and additional revenue = $355,700
if you purchase the product from a vendor, total costs will be:
purchase price = 18,000 x $22.80 = $410,400
Since the total cost of purchasing the parts is higher than the relevant savings and additional revenue, then the company's net profit will decrease by = $410,400 - $355,700 = $54,700
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 50,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $5 per bottle. After the tax, 44,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $2 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if
Answer:
$4
$1 and $3
False
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
Amount of tax for each bottle is $4 because the sellers are receiving $2 and buyers are paying $6. Therefore,
Amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $6 - $2 = $4
b)
Burden on the consumer = $6 - $5
= $1
Burden on the seller = $4 - $1
= $3
c)
False, because the tax incidence depends on the flexibility or elasticity of market.
A consumer values a house at $525,000 and a producer values the same house at $485,000. If the transaction is completed at $510,000, the transaction will generate: a. No surplus b. $25,000 worth of seller surplus and unknown amount of buyer surplus c. $15,000 worth of buyer surplus and $25,000 of seller surplus d. $25,000 worth of buyer surplus and unknown amount of seller surplus
Answer:
c. $15,000 worth of buyer surplus and $25,000 of seller surplus
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the different between the value a consumer places on a product and the price of the product.
Consumer surplus = value of the product - price of the product
$525,000 - $510,000 = $15,000
Producer surplus is the difference between the price and the least price the seller is willing to sell his product.
Producer surplus = price - least price the seller is willing to sell his product
$510,000 - $485,000 = $25,000

What is the materials quantity variance for the month?
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $20,628.3
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity per unit of output 5.3 pounds
Standard price $14.10 per pound
Actual materials used in production 5,650 pounds
Actual output 790 units
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula.
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (5.3*790 - 5,650)*14.1
Direct material quantity variance= $20,628.3

Required:
(A) Using the financial statements and additional information, compute the following ratios for Hainz Company for 2017. (Use 365 days for calculation. Round answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 52.7.)
1. Current ratio
2. Return on common stockholders' equity %
3. Price-earnings ratio times
4. Acid-test ratio
5. Accounts receivable turnover times
6. Times interest earned times
7. Profit margin %
8. Days in inventory days
9. Payout ratio %
10. Return on assets %
Answer:
(1) 2.33 (2)11.42857 times (3) 31.9375 days (4) 3.846154 times (5) 87.6 days (6) 6.00 times (7) 15.75% (8) 1 times (9) 0.35 (10) 14%
Explanation:
Solution
(1) Current ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liability = =140000/60000 = 2.33
(2) The return of common equity of stockholders:
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = the net credit sales/ average accounts receivable = $400000/$35000
11.42857 times
(3) Accounts collection period = 365/Accounts receivable turnover ratio =365/11.42857
31.9375 days
(4) Test acid ratio:
The Inventory Ratio Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory
= $2,50,000/$65000
3.846154 times
(5) Average day to sell inventory = Inventory/Cost of Sales *365
=60000/250000*365
87.6 days
(6) The interest earned times:
Times Interest Earned = (Income before taxes and interest)/interest expense
= ($90000+18000)/18000
= 6.00 times
(7)The Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales
= 63000/400000
=15.75%
(8) The asset Turnover = Sales or Revenues / Total Assets
= $400000/400000 = 1 times
(9) Debt to asset ration = Total Liability / Total asset
= $140000/$400000
=0.35
(10)The return on asset ratio = Net Income/Average total asset
= 63000/450000 =14%
Now,
The total current assets = total assets - Net property, plant, equipment = $400000-$260000 = $140000
The Total current liabilities = [accounts payable + notes payable] $20000 + 40000 = $60000
The Average Account Receivable = (Opening Debtors+Closing Debtors)/2 = ($30000+$40000)/2 = $35000
The Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory+Closing Inventory)/2 = ($70000+$60000)/2 = $65000
Long-term debt + Equity = Total liabilities and equity – Total current liabilities = $275.00 – 65 = $201.00
The Total liability = Accounts Payable+ Notes Payable+Bonds Payable = $20000+40000+80000 = 140000
The Average Total asset = (Total opening asset+ total closing asset)/2 = ($400000+$500000)/2 = $4,50,000
