Answer:
1. Theoretical and Practical capacity: Measures the denominator level in terms of what a plant can supply
2. Theoretical capacity: Is based on producing at full efficiency all the time.
3. Master-budget capacity utilization: Represents the expected level of capacity utilization for the next budget period.
4. Normal and Master-budget capacity: Measures the denominator level in terms of demand for the output of the plant.
5. Normal capacity utilization: Takes into account seasonal, cyclical, and trend factors.
6. Master-budget capacity utilization: Should be used for performance evaluation in the current year.
7. Theoretical capacity: Represents an ideal benchmark.
8. Theoretical and Practical capacity: Highlights the cost of capacity acquired but not used.
9. Master-budget capacity utilization: Should be used for long-term pricing purposes.
10. Normal and Master-budget capacity: Hides the cost of capacity acquired but not used.
11. Theoretical and Practical capacity: If used as the denominator-level concept, would avoid the restatement of unit costs when expected demand levels change.
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.
Elgin Battery Manufacturers had sales of $1,000,000 in 2009 and their cost of goods sold represented 70 percent of sales. Selling and administrative expenses were 10 percent of sales. Depreciation expense was $100,000 and interest expense for the year was $10,000. The firm's tax rate is 30 percent. What is the dollar amount of taxes paid
Answer:
$27,000
Explanation:
The dollar amount of taxes paid is the earnings before tax multiplied by the tax rate.
The earnings before tax=sales-costs of sale-selling and administrative expenses-depreciation expense-interest expense
sales is $1,000,000
costs of sales=$1000,000*70%=$700,000
selling and administrative expenses=10%*$1,000,000=$100,000
depreciation expense=$100,000
interest expense=$10,000
earnings before tax=$1,000,000-$700,000-$100,000-$100,000-$10,000=$90,000
taxes paid=$90000 *30%=$27,000

Current Machine New Machine
Original purchase cost $15,300 $25,100
Accumulated depreciation $6,200 ------
Estimated annual operating costs $24,800 $19,800
Remaining useful life 5 years 5 years
If sold now, the current machine would have a salvage value of $10,800. If operated for the remainder of its useful life, the current machine would have zero salvage value. The new machine is expected to have zero salvage value after 5 years.
Should the current machine be replaced?
Answer:
The current machine should be replaced. It costs more plus the overhead costs to maintain the current machine than it would cost to maintain the new machine.
The analysis is as follows:
Explanation:
1. Cost Analysis of Current Machine:
Book value of equipment = $9,100 ($15,300 - $6,200)
Annual Operating Costs for 5 years = $124,000 ($24,800 x 5)
Total cost = $133,100 ($9,100 + $124,000)
2. Cost Analysis for New Machine:
Purchase cost = $25,100
Annual operating costs for 5 years = $99,000 ($19,800 x 5)
Total cost for 5 years = $124,100 ($25,100 + $99,000)
Since both machines have no salvage value at the end of 5 years, it makes sense to purchase the new machine with a cost saving of $9,000 ($133,100 - $124,100) plus the overtime cost that will be eliminated.

Anderson Steel Company began 2018 with 550,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On March 31, 2018, 140,000 new shares were sold at a price of $50 per share. The market price has risen steadily since that time to a high of $55 per share at December 31. No other changes in shares occurred during 2018, and no securities are outstanding that can become common stock. However, there are two agreements with officers of the company for future issuance of common stock. Both agreements relate to compensation arrangements reached in 2017. The first agreement grants to the company president a right to 42,000 shares of stock each year the closing market price is at least $53. The agreement begins in 2019 and expires in 2022. The second agreement grants to the controller a right to 47,000 shares of stock if she is still with the firm at the end of 2026. Net income for 2018 was $5,200,000.
Required:
Compute Anderson Steel Company's basic and diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2018. (Enter your answers in thousands.)
Answer:
EPS = $7.94
diluted EPS = $7.94, since there are no diluted shares in 2018
Explanation:
January 2018 = 550,000 common stocks
March 31 = 140,000 new shares issued = 105,000 weighted stocks
net income = $5,200,000
EPS = net income / weighted common stocks = $5,200,000 / (550,000 + 105,000) = $5,200,000 / 655,000 stocks = $7.939 ≈ $7.94 per stock
there are no diluted shares since the agreement with the president of the board starts in 2019, and we are calculating the EPS for 2018. The same applies to the controller, since her agreement starts in 2026.
Smart Stream Inc. uses the total cost method of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. The costs of producing and selling 10,000 units of cell phones are as follows: Variable costs per unit: Fixed costs: Direct materials $150 Factory overhead $350,000 Direct labor 25 Selling and administrative expenses 140,000 Factory overhead 40 Selling and administrative expenses 25 Total variable cost per unit $240 Smart Stream desires a profit equal to a 30% return on invested assets of $1,200,000. a. Determine the total costs and the total cost amount per unit for the production and sale of 10,000 cellular phones.
Answer:
Smart Stream Inc.
a) Total costs:
Variable costs:
Direct materials = $1,500,000 ($150 x 10,000)
Direct labor = $250,000 ($25 x 10,000)
Factory overhead = $400,000 ($40 x 10,000)
Selling and Administrative = $250,000( $25 x 10,000)
Total variable costs = $2,400,000 ($240 x 10,000)
Fixed Costs:
Factory overhead = $350,000
Selling and admin = $140,000
Total fixed costs = $490,000
I) Total costs = variable plus fixed costs = $2,890,000 ($2,400,000 + 490,000)
II) Total cost per unit = $289 ($2,890,000/10,000)
Explanation:
The total cost method includes all the costs in arriving at the unit cost before adding the desired profit to arrive at the selling price of a product.
Total costs include the cost of goods sold and the expenses incurred in running the business for the period.
It is unlike the product cost-plus and variable cost-plus approaches to product pricing. For the product cost-plus approach, only the costs of production is taken into consideration for arriving at the selling price. In that case, the costs of direct materials and labor, and factory overheads would be considered, while variable and fixed selling and administrative costs are excluded. The unit cost would have been $250.
The variable cost-plus approach considers only the variable elements of costs to arrive at the selling price. These include the direct materials and labor costs, and variable element of the factory overhead and selling and administrative expenses. The unit cost would have been $240 as stated in the question.
These different cost-plus pricing approaches are more suitable for some industries than others. No matter the choice made, it must be noted that they result in different selling prices and can affect the competitiveness of a company.

Answer:
"No."
This transaction does NOT require an accounting adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019 - If you believe that statement is correct - answer "No."
Explanation:
The check disbursement does not require an adjustment to the financial statements for the fiscal year ending 12/31/2019, because the check is dated 1/6/2020.
Adjusting entries are changes to the journal entries which tries to match transactions to their correct accounting periods. A check dated January 6, 2020 does not belong to the fiscal year ending December, 2019.
Adjusting entries are usually for Accrued Revenue, Accrued Expenses, Deferred Revenue, Prepaid Expenses, and Depreciation Expenses.

Joe Jenkins, the owner of Jenkins Manufacturing, is considering whether to produce a new product. Joe will be selling the product for a price of $70 per unit. If he uses the current equipment, Joe estimates the fixed costs per year to be $40,000 and variable costs for each unit produced to be $50. However, Joe is considering the purchase of new equipment that would produce the product more efficiently. Joe’s fixed cost would be raised to $60,000 per year, but the variable cost would be reduced to $25 per unit. If Joe's demand forecast is 900 units, should Joe produce the product using the existing or the new equipment? Produce using the existing equipment. Produce using the new equipment. Does not matter, which equipment is used. The product should not be produced at all.
Answer:
Jenkins Manufacturing
Joe should produce using the new equipment.
Explanation:
a) Costs incurred using the old equipment:
Variable costs = $45,000 ($50 x 900)
Fixed costs = $40,000
Total costs = $85,000
Operating Loss = $22,000 ($63,000 - 85,000)
b) Costs incurred using the new equipment:
Variable costs = $22,500 ($25 x 900)
Fixed costs = $60,000
Total costs = $82,500
Operating Loss = $19,500 ($63,000 - 82,500)
Production using the new equipment would reduce the operating loss by $2,500.
The company should produce by using the new equipment.
Based on thw information given, the cost that's incurred using the old equipment will be
Variable costs = ($50 x 900) = $45,000
Fixed costs = $40,000
Total costs = Fixed cost + Variable cost
= $40000 + $45,000
= $85,000
Operating Loss will be:
= ($63,000 - 85,000) = -$22000
The costs incurred using the new equipment will be:
Variable costs = ($25 x 900) = $22,500
Fixed costs = $60,000
Total costs = $60000 + $22500 = $82,500
Operating Loss = ($63,000 - 82,500) = -$19,500
Based on the calculation, the company should produce by using the new equipment.

Stone Company changed its method of pricing inventories from FIFO to LIFO. What type of accounting change does this represent? A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated.
Answer:
A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.
Explanation:
Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change is insignificant (materiality principle).
Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.
On January 1, 2021, Legion Company sold $250,000 of 6% ten-year bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $163,976, priced to yield 12%. Legion records interest at the effective rate. Legion should report bond interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021, in the amount of: (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
The bond interest expense to be shown in profit or loss as t 30 June 2021
$9,838.56
Explanation:
The bond interest expense is the actual finance cost of using the funds made available by bondholders while the coupon payment is the portion of the finance cost paid to them periodically.
Interest expense=bonds cash proceeds*yield to maturity*6/12
bonds cash proceeds is $163,976
yield to maturity is 12%
interest expense=$163,976*12%*6/12=$9,838.56
Answer:
$9,838.56
Explanation:
Interest Expense using effective interest rate method can determined by multiplying the carrying value of the bond and yield rate of the bond because the bonds issued on the discount has different interest expense than the interest payment made to bond holder.
As the interest is paid semiannually the interest expense will be calculated for only 6 months.
Interest expense=Cash proceeds on issuance of bond x YTM x 6/12
As per given data
Cash proceeds are $163,976
YTM is 12%
Interest expense=$163,976 x 12% x 6/12=$9,838.56
Stefani Company has gathered the following information about its product. Direct materials: Each unit of product contains 3.90 pounds of materials. The average waste and spoilage per unit produced under normal conditions is 1.10 pounds. Materials cost $4 per pound, but Stefani always takes the 2.00% cash discount all of its suppliers offer. Freight costs average $0.40 per pound. Direct labor. Each unit requires 1.60 hours of labor. Setup, cleanup, and downtime average 0.10 hours per unit. The average hourly pay rate of Stefani’s employees is $10.90. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits are an additional $3.20 per hour. Manufacturing overhead. Overhead is applied at a rate of $7.60 per direct labor hour. Compute Stefani’s total standard cost per unit
Answer:
$58.49 per unit
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the total standard cost by using following formula:-
Material Cost Per Unit = Material Cost × (1 - Cash Discount Rate) + Freight Average Cost
= $4 × (1 - 0.02) + .40
= $4 × 0.98 + .40
= $4.32 per pound
Material Used Per Unit = Each Unit Product Contain Material + Average Waste and Spoilage Per Unit Produced
= 3.90 + 1.10
= 5
Direct Material Cost= Material Cost Per Unit × Material Used Per Unit
= $4.32 × 5
= $21.6 per unit
Cost Per hour = Average hour Pay Rate + Payroll Taxes and Fringe Benefits Cost
= $10.90 + $3.20
= $14.1
Direct Labor hour = Cost Per hour × Each Unit Required hour
= $14.1 × (1.60 + 0.10)
= $14.1 × 1.70
= $23.97 per unit
Manufacturing Overhead
= Overhead Applied Rate Per Direct Labor hour × Each Unit Required Hour
= $7.60 × (1.60 + 0.10)
= $7.60 × 1.70
= $12.92 per unit
Total Standard Cost Per Unit = Direct Material Cost + Direct Labor Cost + Manufacturing Overhead
= $21.6 + $23.97 + $12.92
= $58.49 per unit
The Computation of Stefani's total standard cost per unit will give result of $58.49 per unit.
Total Standard Cost
To Calculate Total Standard Cost we need to add Direct Material Cost, Direct Labor Cost and Manufacturing Overhead.
A. Direct Material Cost = Material Cost Per Unit × Material Used Per Unit
Material Cost Per Unit = Material Cost × (1 - Cash Discount Rate) + Freight Average Cost
= $4 × (1 - 0.02) + .40
= $4.32 per pound.
Material Used Per Unit = Each Unit Product Contain Material + Average Waste and Spoilage Per Unit Produced
= 3.90 + 1.10
= $5
Direct Material Cost = $4.32 × 5 = $21.6 per unit.
B. Direct Labor Cost
It equals to Cost Per hour × Each Unit Required hour.
Cost Per hour = Average hour Pay Rate + Payroll Taxes and Fringe Benefits Cost
= $10.90 + $3.20
= $14.1
Direct Labor Cost = $14.1 × (1.60 + 0.10) = $23.97 per unit
C. Manufacturing Overhead
It equals to Overhead Applied Rate Per Direct Labor hour × Each Unit Required Hour
= $7.60 × (1.60 + 0.10)
= $12.92 per unit.
Total Standard Cost Per Unit = A + B + C = $21.6 + $23.97 + $12.92

The corporate charter of Andromeda Co. authorized the issuance of 21 million, $1 par common shares. During 2021, its first year of operations, Andromeda had the following transactions: January 1 sold 6 million shares at $26 per share June 3 purchased 13 million shares of treasury stock at $29 per share December 28 sold the 4 million shares of treasury stock at $31 per share What amount should Andromeda report as additional paid-in capital in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet
Answer:
$158 million
Explanation:
The computation of total additional paid in capital is shown below:-
Paid in capital in excess of par value-Common Stock = ($26 - 1) × 6 million
= 25 × 6 million
= $150 million
Paid in capital from sale of treasury Stock = ($31 - $29) × 4 million
= $8 million
Total additional paid in capital = Paid in capital in excess of par value-Common Stock + Paid in capital from sale of treasury Stock
= $150 million + $8 million
= $158 million
So, for computing the total additional paid in capital we simply applied the above formula.

g Based on the Keynesian model, one reason to support government spending increases over tax cuts as a tool for stimulating the economy is: Group of answer choices the government-spending multiplier is smaller than the tax multiplier. the government-spending multiplier is larger than the tax multiplier. tax cuts do not cause the budget deficit to increase. increases in government spending do not cause the budget deficit to increase.
Answer:
The answer is: The multiplier of public spending is greater than the tax multiplier.
Explanation:
Unemployment is caused by insufficient global demand. Therefore, to combat unemployment, aggregate demand (Da) will have to be increased, and for this, according to Keynes' formula, the following components must be acted on:
-Increase demand for consumer goods (C)
To stimulate consumption, taxes will have to be reduced, thus causing an increase in the disposable income of families.
-Increase the demand for investment goods (I)
This increase will be achieved by reducing the cost of money; in other words, lowering interest rates, thus encouraging companies to invest.
-Increase public sector demand (G)
It comes from the increase in public spending by the State (more roads, more hospitals).
-Increase the demand of international markets (X-M)
To promote exports, the exchange rate will have to be reduced. Increasing exports boosts domestic production.
Oklahoma enacts a law requiring all businesses in the state to donate 10 percent of their profits to Protestant churches that provide services to indigent persons. Price-Lo Mart files a law suit to block the enforcement of the law. The court will probably decide that this law violates: a. the Free Exercise clause. b. the Supremacy clause. c. the Equal Protection clause. d. the Establishment clause.
Answer: d. the Establishment clause.
Explanation:
The Establishment Clause was put in place as a limitation by the United States Congress to prevent excesses or stop it from passing legislation forcing an establishment, religion, which broadly made it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. As this is the case with the state asking business to donate 10% of their profit to Protestant.
Answer:
The establishment clause.
Explanation:
Establishment clause, also called establishment-of-religion clause, clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbidding Congress from establishing a state religion. It prevents the passage of any law that gives preference to or forces belief in any one religion. It is paired with a clause that prohibits limiting the free expression of religion.
As the citizenry became more diverse, however, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning of the establishment clause.
Though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.
Check all true statements regarding CMBS:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
b.Loans in a CMBS deal are recourse loans The multifamily/apartment CRE sector never uses CMBS for financing as it relies on RMBS
c.CMBS are the main source of financing for commercial real estate loans
d.The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Answer: A and D only
Explanation:
CMBS Loan are also referred to as a Conduit Loan, this is a type of real estate loan usually commercial, which is secured by a first-position mortgage on a commercial property. These loans are usually packaged, and sold by a Conduit Lender, commercial banks, investment banks, and syndicates of banks.
Loans in a CMBS are always bigger so they are less in a CMBS deal. Sometimes it’s onlyone loan in a Single Asset (SA) CMBS deal
Prepayments are discouraged in CMBS through defeasance,prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees.
Answer:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
d. The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Explanation:
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) as the name implies are mortgage backed securities that are secured with commercial mortgages while Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) are mortgage backed securities secured by residential property.
a) CMBS are based on mortgages which usually have a fixed term contract in place meaning that prepayment is less of a thing with CMBS than with RMBS so the former does indeed have a less exposure to prepayment risk than the latter.
d) This is indeed true because both packages have to look appealing to investors but can only use different amounts to reach the minimum threshold. This is because Commercial Mortgages pay more than Residential Mortgages so more RMBS have to be pulled together to form an attractive investment as opposed to CMBS. This is why the number in CMBS are usually less than that of RMBS.
Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2021. The inventory as reported at the end of 2020 using LIFO would have been $59,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2020 was reported as $770,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 35%. Required: 1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years. 2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in accounting principle.
Answer:
1. The balance in retained earnings at the time of the change is $808,350
2. The journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in accounting principle woud be as follows:
Inventoty $59,000
Retained Earnings $38,350
Tax Payable $20,650
Explanation:
1. In order to calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years we would have to make the following calculation:
balance in retained earnings at the time of the change=Begining Retained earnings of 2021+Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income=Ending inventory higher by amount×(1-tax rate)
Adjusted net income=$59,000×(1-0.35)
Adjusted net income=$38,350
balance in retained earnings at the time of the change=$770,000+$38,350
balance in retained earnings at the time of the change=$808,350
2. The journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in accounting principle woud be as follows:
Inventoty $59,000
Retained Earnings $38,350
Tax Payable $20,650= $59,000×0.35
A division is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will cost $2,950,000 and have a cash flow of $740,000 per year for each of the four years of its life. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis with no salvage value. Ignore taxes. Required: a. & b. What is the ROI for each year of the asset's life if the division uses beginning-of-year asset balances and net book value for the computation? What is the residual income each year if the cost of capital is 8 percent?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of ROI for each year of the asset's life and residual income each year is shown below:-
Year Investment base ROI Residual income
1 $2,950,000 8% -$233,500
2 $2,212,500 11% -$233,500
3 $1,475,000 17% -$115,500
4 $737,500 34% -$56,500
ROI = Net income ÷ Total investment × 100
Net Income = Cash flow - Depreciation
Residual income = Net income - (Investment × Cost of capital)
Depreciation = Investment base ÷ 4 years
The return on investment and the residual income can be find out by using the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it in the attachment
As of December 31, 2019, Sheridan Company had $3500 of raw materials inventory. At the beginning of 2019, there was $3000 of materials on hand. During the year, the company purchased $315000 of materials; however, it paid for only $252500. How much inventory was requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019
Answer: $314,500
Explanation:
When calculating how much of a material of any sort was used, the following formula should be used,
= Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
This is the same formula largely used to calculate Cost of Goods sold.
Here, the figure to be concerned about is the actual materials used not the ones paid for.
Plugging in figures into the formula then,
= 3,000 + 315,000 - 3,500
= $314,500
Thus $314,500 was the inventory requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019.
The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money
The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction.
Maria spends all of her money on paperback novels and beignets. In 2011 she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a beignet was $3.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
1-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
1-The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a paperback novel is $9.00 in 2011.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2011 and 2016. In 2016, Maria's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18.00 and the price of a beignet is $6.00.
In 2016, the relative price of a paperback novel is _________
Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage (increases/decreases/remains the same) and the real value of her wage ____________
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply ________ nominal variables and ______ real variables.
Answer:
1. Relative price = $3
2. Increases
3. affects , not affect
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1) The relative price of a paperback novel in 2016 = Maria,s wage ÷ Price of a paperback novel
= $54÷$18
= $3
2) Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value increases and the real value of Maria's wage remains the same.
3)Monetary neutrality is proposition that the change in the money supply affects the nominal variables but it does not affect the real variables.

Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,800 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Total cash= $101,130
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hours= 7,800
The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour.
The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790.
We need to deduct the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.
Cash disbursement:
Variable overhead= 7,800*1.2= $9,360
Fixed overhead= (100,560 - 8,790)= $91,770
Total cash= $101,130
