In the manufacture of 9,200 units of a product, direct materials cost incurred was $171,600, direct labor cost incurred was $114,200, and applied factory overhead was $45,400. What is the total conversion cost? a.$171,600 b.$331,200 c.$159,600 d.$45,400
Answer: c. $159,600
Explanation:
Conversion cost is the cost that the business incurs to transform raw materials into finished goods or at least the next stage of the good.
Direct labor is necessary to transform the good and they do so using factory overheads. Conversion cost is therefore calculated as follows:
= Direct Labor Cost + Factory overhead
= 114,200 + 45,400
= $159,600

odson Company manufactures a product with a standard direct labor cost of 2.3 hours of labor per unit at $10.60 per hour. Last month, 170 units were produced using 90 hours at $11.60 per hour. What was the company's labor quantity variance
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $3,190.6 favorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (391 - 90)*10.6
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $3,190.6 favorable
Standard quantity= 2.3*170= 391
The real interest rate is Group of answer choices the percentage increase in money that the lender receives on a loan. the percentage increase in purchasing power that the lender receives on a loan. also called the after-tax interest rate. usually higher than the nominal interest rate.
Answer:
he percentage increase in purchasing power that the lender receives on a loan.
Explanation:
Interest rate is the rate earned on deposits or the rate charged on loans.
Interest rate could be real or nominal
Nominal interest rate is real interest rate plus inflation rate
Real interest rate is interest rate that has been adjusted for inflation
The higher the real interest rate, the higher the increase in purchasing power of the lender
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect

Tercer reports the following for one of its products. Direct materials standard (4 lbs. $2 per lb.) Actual direct materials used (AQ) Actual finished units produced Actual cost of direct materials used $8 per finished unit 300,000 lbs. 60,000 units $535,000 AQ Actual Quantity SQ Standard Quantity AP Actual Price SP Standard Price.
Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials standard (4 lbs. $2 per lb.)= $8 per finished unit
Actual direct materials used (AQ)= 300,000
Actual finished units produced= 60,000
Actual cost of direct materials used= $535,000
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.783)*300,000
Direct material price variance= $65,100 favorable
Actual price= 535,000 / 300,000= $1.783
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (4*60,000 - 300,000)*2
Direct material quantity variance= $120,000 unfavorable

"Rogue Corp. has sales of $4,250,000; the firm's cost of goods sold is $2,500,000; and its total operating expenses are $600,000. The firm's interest expense is $250,000, and the corporate tax rate is 40%. What is Rogue's tax liability"
Answer:
$360,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Rogue's tax liability
Step 1 is to calculate the gross profit
Using this formula
Gross profit=Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit=$4,250,000-$2,500,000
Gross profit=$1,750,000
Step 2 is to calculate operating income
Using this formula
Operating income=Gross Profit -Total operating expenses
Let plug in the formula
Operating income=$1,750,000-$600,000
Operating income=$1,150,000
Step 3 is to calculate the EBT
Using this formula
EBT=Operating income - Interest expense
Let plug in the formula
EBT=$1,150,000-$250,000
EBT=$900,000
Now let calculate the Tax liability
Using this formula
Tax liability=EBT x Corp Tax
Let plug in the formula
Tax liability=$900,000*$40%
Tax Liability=$360,000
Therefore Rogue's tax liability is $360,000

A small business owner visits his bank to ask for a loan. The owner states that she can repay a loan at $1,500 per month for the next 3 years and then $500 per month for three years after that. If the bank is charging customers 10 percent APR, how much would it be willing to lend the business owner?
Answer:
The bank will be willing to lend $ 28,800 to the business owner.
Explanation:
Given that a small business owner visits his bank to ask for a loan, and the owner states that she can repay a loan at $ 1,500 per month for the next 3 years and then $ 500 per month for three years after that, since the bank is charging customers 10 percent APR, to determine how much the business owner would be willing to lend the following calculation must be performed:
1500 x 12 x 3 + 500 x 12 x 3 = X
18000 x 3 + 6000 x 3 = X
54000 + 18000 = X
72000 = X
10 x 6 = 60
100 - 60 = 40
100 = 72000
40 = X
40 x 72000/100 = X
28800 = X
Therefore, the bank will be willing to lend $ 28,800 to the business owner.

What was the number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories? a.11,350 units b.13,120 units c.9,800 units d.14,120 units
Answer:
Department M
The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories is:
a. 11,350 units
Explanation:
Beginning work in process units = 3,000
Degree of completion = 59%
Work to be done during June on the beginning WIP = 1,230 units (3,000 * 41%)
Units started and completed during June = 9,800 Units (12,800 - 3,000)
Ending work in process, equivalent units = 320 (1,000 * 32%)
Total equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June, using the FIFO method are = 11,350 units

Is scented candle harmful to dogs?
Answer:
Scented candles are not harmful to dogs for normal use, but high concentrations in a confined space for a long time would have an impact on the dog's sense of smell.
Because the candles you use will cause a lot of burnt smoke which is harmful to dogs. And aromatherapy ingredients contain a lot of chemical substances. If the windows are opened, it will be ok, if not the more chemical substances accumulate, the more it will be harmful to dogs, or even to the health of people.
Here are several ways to avoid the harm caused by aromatherapy to dogs:
Do not ignite the two types of aromatherapy in a short time or at the same time, to avoid the two types of aromatherapy, which are mutually ineffective and produce toxic gas.
Try not to light candles in a closed bedroom when you sleep.
Keep air circulation.
Keep all kinds of aromatherapy out of reach of dogs.
Use Home Lights scented candles in the right way.

Suppose that the price of labor is $7 for a firm, while the price of capital for a firm is $10. Also suppose that the Marginal Product of Labor is 20, while the Marginal Product of Capital is 30. What is the best advice for this profit-maximizing firm?
Answer:
The best advice for this profit-maximizing firm is:
Use more capital than labor.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of labor = $7
Price of capital = $10
Marginal product of labor = 20
Marginal product of capital = 30
Productivity of labor = Output/Input
= 20/7
= 2.86
Productivity of capital = Output/Input
= 30/10
= 3
b) Capital is more productive than labor. The productivity of capital is 3 when compared to the productivity of labor, that is 2.86.
Suppose that France and Denmark both produce oil and olives. Frances’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 4 barrels of oil, while Denmark’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 7 barrels of oil.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that _______has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and ______has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.
Suppose that France and Denmark consider trading olives and oil with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than _____ of oil for each crate of olives it exports to Denmark. Similarly, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it receives more than _____ of olives for each barrel of oil it exports to France.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of oil) would allow both Denmark and France to gain from trade?
A__ 6 barrels of oil per crate of olives
B__ 3 barrels of oil per crate of olives
C__ 5 barrels of oil per crate of olives
D__ 8 barrels of oil per crate of olives
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, one can deduce that while (France) has a comparative advantage in the production of olives, it should be noted that on the other hand, (Denmark) has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.
If France and Denmark consider trading olives and oil with each other, then France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than (4) of oil for each crate of olives it exports to Denmark while on the other hand, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it gets more than (1/7) crate of olives for each barrel of oil it exports to France.
The terms of trade that would allow both Denmark and France to gain from trade include:
• 6 barrels of oil per crate of olives.
• 5 barrels of oil per crate of olives.
The Wood Valley Dairy makes cheese to supply to stores in its area. The dairy can make 250 pounds of cheese per day (365 days per year), and the demand at area stores is 180 pounds per day. Each time the dairy makes cheese, it costs $125 to set up the production process. The annual cost of carrying a pound of cheese in a refrigerated storage area is $12. Determine the optimal order size and the minimum total annual inventory cost.
Answer: 1. 1170 units
2. $14039
Explanation:
The optimal order size will be:
= ✓2AO/C
where,
A = Annual demand = 180 × 365 days = 65,700
O = Ordering cost = 125
C = Carrying cost = 12
EOQ = ✓(2AO/C)
= ✓(2 × 65700 × 125/12)
= ✓ 1368750
= 1170 units
Therefore, the optimal order size is 1170 units.
2. The minimum total annual inventory cost will be calculated as:
C = (Q /2)(H) +(D/Q)(S)
where,
Q = 1170 pounds
H = holding cost = $12
D = annual demand = 65,700
S =set up cost = $125
Therefore, the minimum total annual inventory cost will be:
C = (Q /2)(H) +(D/Q)(S)
C = {(1170) /2] × 12} + {(65,700 /1170) × 125}
= 7020 +7019
= 14,039
Therefore, the minimum total annual inventory cost is $14,039.

a week earlier, and they hadn't noticed anything amiss.
As they looked around, they saw that the evening warehouse worker was filling the last orders of the day. The delivery driver and day warehouse
worker were gone for the day, and the delivery van keys were on the desk that the warehouse workers shared. The doors to the loading dock were
open, as was the door to the office area where the accountant, two customer service specialists, and the owner worked.
Knowing that you are familiar with accounting principles, they asked for your help in figuring out how to prevent this in the future.
Answer:
Hence,
When control is missing the wrongdoings happen at a quick pace because the barrier in their work involves an end. there's no check on the operations and hence many wrongdoings happen without coming into the eyes of management. control helps within the analysis of wrongdoings by comparing with the standards and checks. Hence without control, it's hard to depict the extent of wrongdoings within the organization.
Explanation:
Role of control
Internal controls are policies and procedures put in situ by management to make sure that, among other things, the company’s financial statements are reliable. Some internal controls relevant to an audit include bank reconciliations, password control systems for accounting software, and inventory observations.
Internal controls provide reasonable assurance about achieving objectives regarding:
.Effectiveness and efficiency of operations
.Reliability of financial reporting
.Safeguarding of assets
.Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

Amount of first annual payment = [Present value * (r - g)] / [1 - {(1 + g)/(1 + r)}^n]
Amount of first annual payment = [210,000 * (0.08-0.05)] / [1 - [(1+0.05) / (1+0.08)]^6]
Amount of first annual payment = [210,000*0.03] / [1 - (0.972222)^6]
Amount of first annual payment = 6,300 / [1 - 0.844486]
Amount of first annual payment = 6,300 / 0.155514
Amount of first annual payment = 40510.82217678151
Amount of first annual payment = $40,510.82
So, the amount of the first annual payment you will receive is $40,510.82.
