Using this formula
Labor content = Cash/Numbers of item produced
Where,
Cash=$90
Numbers of item produced=10 parts
Let plug in the formula
Labor content=$90/10
Labor content=$9
Therefore the labor content of the product will be $9
Calgary Lumber Company incurs a cost of $315 per hundred board feet (hbf) in processing certain "rough-cut" lumber, which it sells for $440 per hbf. An alternative is to produce a "finished-cut" at a total processing cost of $465 per hbf, which can be sold for $600 per hbf. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 15 on whether to sell rough-cut lumber (Alternative 1) or process further into finished-cut lumber (Alternative 2).
Answer:
Calgary Lumber Company
Differential Analysis dated March 15:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Sell rough-cut Lumber Process to finished-cut
Sales $440 $600
Cost of processing 315 465
Profit $125 $135
Choose Alternative 2.
Explanation:
Calgary Lumber Company's differential analysis is a tool that its management can use to decide the alternative to pursue by examining the differences in the outcomes of two or more alternative actions. From the analysis done between the two alternatives open to Calgary, it appears that the second alternative will yield a higher profit of $135 instead of alternative 1's profit of $125. There is a differential profit of $10 per hundred board feet to be made if Calgary Lumber Company pursues alternative 2 instead of alternative 1.
A subcontractor is responsible for outfitting six satellites that will be used for solar research. Four of the six have been completed in a total of 600 hours. If the crew has a 75% learning curve, how long should it take them to finish the last two units?
Answer: ∑Tₓ = 201.222
time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
Explanation:
Given that,
total time required to four units is 600 hours,
Learning curve applied is 75% and from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete four units at 75% learning curve is 2.946
so
∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor
{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }
we substitute
∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946
∑T₁ = 600/2.946
∑T₁ = 203.666 minutes
Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:
∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
Note that total time factor at this point changes;
( from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete 6 units at 75% learning curve is 3.934)
so we substitute
∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934
∑T₆ = 801.222
Now to find how long should it take them to finish the last two units, we say
∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄
∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600
∑Tₓ = 201.222
Therefore time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
The time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
Given data
Total time required to four units is 600 hours
Learning curve applied is 75% and 75% learning curve is 2.946
∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor
{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }
we substitute
∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946
∑T₁ = 600/2.946
∑T₁ = 203.666 minutes
Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:
∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
so we substitute
∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934
∑T₆ = 801.222
Now, we will find how long should it take them to finish the last two units
∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄
∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600
∑Tₓ = 201.222
In conclusion, the time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

A customer opens a new margin account with the following position:
Long: 1,000 XYZ Cmn
Mkt Value: $20,000
Debit: $10,000
If the market value rises to $22,000, how much SMA is created?
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
The above means that for every $1 increase in the market value in a long margin account, the SMA increases by $0.50
If the market value rises to $22,000, the account will show
Long market value - Debit = Equity % SMA
$22,000 - $10,000 = $12,000
Against $22,00 of market value, 50% can be borrowed or $11,000. Since the debit is $10,000, an additional $1,000 can be borrowed . This is the SMA

changed its estimates to a total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $81000. What is 2021 depreciation expense?
Answer: $162,000
Explanation:
The depreciation expense for the first 3 years up till 2021 is;
= (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= ( 579,000 - 57,000) / 9
= $58,000
In 2021, the Net book value was;
= 579,000 - ( 58,000 * 3)
= 579,000 - 174,000
= $405,000
Useful life has been changed to 5 years. 3 years have already elapsed left with 2.
New salvage value is $81,000.
= (NBV - Salvage Value) / Useful life
= (405,000 - 81,000) / 2
= $162,000
A seller did not submit testing information required in the contract to the buyer, and the project manager did not notice it was not received. After four weeks, the company head asked for the testing information and found out it was not received. The project manager then asked the seller to send the information. The seller argued, "You did not receive the testing reports for four weeks, and you did not say anything. You have therefore waived your rights to ever get them". The seller refused to give the reports without a change to the contract and additional payment. The issue went to court of law to resolve. What do you think was the court's decision? Post what you believe the decision was in this forum post. After posting, review and comment on at least one of your colleagues post. Be sure that you answer any questions that someone else might have made on your post. NOTE: You will not be able to see any other responses until you post your own.
Answer:
Since the testing information is a requirement of the contract, the buyer has the right to request for it accordingly and the seller should not refuse unless fraud is implied. The contract does not specify when a waiver of the right to the testing information should become effective.
The court of law should decide in favor of the buyer's right to receive the testing information from the seller.
Explanation:
Contract terms are agreements and promises that must be followed because they are made for consideration to be given and received. If a contract for the sale of goods includes the submission of some information, this later requirement forms part of the contract and exchange of promises for consideration, and they must be respected and fulfilled, unless there is additional agreement specifying some deadline within which the right to such testing information is waived.
On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues a $8,800,000, 7%, 10-year bond that pays semiannual interest of $308,000 ($8,800,000 × 7% × ½), receiving cash of $7,655,303. Required:Journalize the first interest payment and the amortization of the related bond discount.

Net sales for the year were $1,050,000 and cost of goods sold was $735,000 for the company’s existing products. A new product is presently under development and will have an expected selling price of not more than $68 per unit in order to remain competitive with similar products in the marketplace. Required: a. Calculate gross profit and the gross profit ratio for the year.
Answer:
The answer is:
Gross profit is $315,000
Gross profit ratio is 30 percent
Explanation:
Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales
Net sales - $1,050,000
Cost of sales - ($735,000)
Gross profit -. $315,000
Gross profit ratio is:
(Gross profit / net sales) x 100 percent
($315,000 / $1,050,000) x 100 percent
0.3 x 100 percent
30 percent.
So we have:
Gross profit is $315,000
Gross profit ratio is 30 percent

Allied Merchandisers was organized on May 1. Macy Co. is a major customer (buyer) of Allied (seller) products.
May 3 Allied made its first and only purchase of inventory for the period on May 3 for 2,000 units at a price of $10 cash per unit (for a total cost of $20,000).
5 Allied sold 1,500 of the units in inventory for $14 per unit (invoice total: $21,000) to Macy Co. under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost Allied $15,000.
7 Macy returns 125 units because they did not fit the customer’s needs (invoice amount: $1,750). Allied restores the units, which cost $1,250, to its inventory.
8 Macy discovers that 200 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied sends Macy a credit memorandum for $300 toward the original invoice amount to compensate for the damage.

= 2,340 × $8
= $18,720
3. Material spending variance is
= Plastic cost - standard material cost
= $20,246 - $18,720
= $1,526 unfavorable
4. The material price and quantity varaince is
Price variance
= Plastic cost - (number of plastic × cost)
= $20,246 - (2,664 × $8)
= $1,066 favorable
Quantity variance
= Standard Cost × (Actual quantity - standard quantity)
= $8 × (2,664 - 2,340)
= $2,592 unfavorable

Next week, Mortimer is preparing to go to work for the Illinois department of Child Services. He was surprised when his friends told him that he was going to have to pay one percent of his salary to the union that represents the unionized workers that would include Mortimer, whether he joined the union or not - a so-called agency fee to prevent 'free riders'. This was for services provided to Mortimer, including collective bargaining and grievance representation. Mortimer was shocked - no one had told him about this! What advice would you provide to Mortimer?
Answer:
The implication is that the Illinois Department of Child Services is a unionized workplace.
Mortimer will derive better benefits that surpass the costs of membership. He is covered in all collective bargains, even when he resigns his union membership. Unions negotiate for better working conditions, higher pays, and improved benefits.
When Mortimer has any grievance against the department, the union will also represent him, thereby making his life easier since unions can negotiate better with employers than individual workers.
Mortimer is even lucky to find a job at a unionized workplace because the jobs are not usually advertised as union members easily bring in their relatives and friends to occupy such vacancies.
Explanation:
Most of the disadvantages that Mortimer should complain about unions are disadvantages to the employer and not to him as an individual worker. For the employer, the union acts as a form of monopoly that can decide whether the workers would work or not. The unionized workers are not easy to replace with other workers.
Historically the stock market goes up when there is bad news on unemployment. The latest statistics show the unemployment rate is skyrocketing so this could be a good time to buy stocks.

A. Bad news on unemployment
B. The stock market in the past when there is bad news on unemployment
C. The stock market now

The speaker does this by calling into evidence, the correlations between variables in the past and showing that with one variable ( high unemployment) currently in effect, the other variable (increasing stock prices) which it correlates with therefore has a chance of happening in the present.
O'Mally Department Stores is considering two possible expansion plans. One proposal involves opening 5 stores in Indiana at the cost of $1,810,000. Under the other proposal, the company would focus on Kentucky and open 6 stores at a cost of $2,000,000. The following information is available: Indiana proposal Kentucky proposal Required investment $1,810,000 $2,000,000 Estimated life 6 years 6 years Estimated residual value $80,000 $40,000 Estimated annual cash inflows over the next 10 years $700,000 $800,000 Required rate of return 13% 13% The accounting rate of return for the Indiana proposal is closest to (Round any intermediary calculations to the nearest dollar, and round your final answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent, X.XX%.)
Answer:
O'Mally Department Stores
The accounting rate of return for the Indiana proposal is closest to 24.28%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Indiana proposal Kentucky proposal
Required investment $1,810,000 $2,000,000
Estimated life 6 years 6 years
Estimated residual value $80,000 $40,000
Estimated depreciable cost $1,730,000 $1,960,000
Average depreciable cost $288,333 $326,667
Estimated annual cash inflows
over the next 10 years $700,000 $800,000
Average cash inflows $70,000 $80,000
Required rate of return 13% 13%
Accounting rate of return = Average cash inflows/Average depreciable cost x 100 = $70,000/$288,333 x 100 = 24.28%
The Indiana proposal of O'Mally Department Stores' accounting rate of return is the ratio of estimated accounting profit to the average investment cost. The estimated accounting profit is equivalent to the average cash inflow and the average investment cost is equivalent to the average depreciable cost.
