The following units of an item were available for sale during the year: Beginning inventory 8,100 units at $180 Sale 5,300 units at $300 First purchase 15,000 units at $185 Sale 13,000 units at $300 Second purchase 16,000 units at $192 Sale 14,000 units at $300 The firm uses the perpetual inventory system, and there are 6,800 units of the item on hand at the end of the year. a. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to FIFO? $ b. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to LIFO?
Answer:
a. $1,305,600
b. $1,258,000
Explanation:
FIFO - Assumes that the first goods received by the business will be first ones to be delivered to the final customer
FIFO Inventory = 6,800 units × $ 192 = $1,305,600
LIFO - Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer
LIFO Inventory = 2,800 units × $180 = $ 504,000
2,000 units × $185 = $ 370,000
2,000 units × $ 192 = $ 384,000
Total = $1,258,000
Which of the following is false? Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy argue that it is more likely to achieve the desired economic results because the monetary authority has the flexibility to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances. Here is an example of zero crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector doesn’t spend any less. Here is an example of complete crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector spends $100 less. Not all economists believe that rule-based monetary policy is preferable to discretionary monetary policy. none of the above
Answer: None of the above
Explanation:
All of the above are correct.
For option A, Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy do indeed believe that the monetary authority using this policy is more flexible to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances.
Option B is also correct because Crowding out occurs when the government increases investment by borrowing which leaves less money for the private sector to borrow so they spend less. The government spent money here yet the private sector did not spend less so it is Zero Crowing out.
Option C by option B's explanation holds true because the entire amount the Government increased by was denied the private sector.
Option D is also true as not all Economists prefer rule-based monetary policy to discretionary monetary policy.
They are all true.
Southern Rim Parts estimates its manufacturing overhead to be $318,000 and its direct labor costs to be $1,060,000 for year 1. The first three jobs that Southern Rim worked on had actual direct labor costs of $65,000 for Job 301, $90,000 for Job 302, and $175,000 for Job 303. For the year, actual manufacturing overhead was $399,000 and total direct labor cost was $834,000. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor costs using predetermined rates.Required:a. How much overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303?b. What was the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1?
Answer:
a. Job 301 = $19,500
Job 302 = $27,000
Job 303 = $52,500
b. Overhead applied for the year = $250,200
Under-applied overhead = $148,800
Explanation:
a. The computation of overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303 is shown below:-
Overhead application rate = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Application Base
Application base = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor costs
= $318,000 ÷ $1,060,000
= 0.3
Overhead assignment to jobs = Budgeted rate × Labor Cost
Job 301
= 0.3 × $65,000
= $19,500
Job 302
= 0.3 × $90,000
= $27,000
Job 303
= 0.3 × $175,000
= $52,500
b. The computation of over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1 is shown below:-
Overhead applied for the year = Total direct labor cost × Overhead rate
= $834,000 × 0.3
= $250,200
Under-applied overhead = Actual overhead - Applied overhead
= $399,000 - $250,200
= $148,800
Your aunt is about to retire, and she wants to sell some of her stock and buy an annuity that will provide her with income of $53,000 per year for 30 years, beginning a year from today. The going rate on such annuities is 7.25%. How much would it cost her to buy such an annuity today
Answer:
Present Value= $641,494.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $53,000 per year
Number of years= 30 years
Interest rate= 7.25%
First, we need to calculate the final value of the annuity:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual flow
FV= {53,000*[(1.0725^30)-1]} / 0.0725
FV= $5,237,351.32
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 5,237,351.32/ (1.0725^30)
PV= $641,494.12
Galla Inc. needs to determine a price for a new product. Galla desires a 25% markup on the total cost of the product. Galla expects to sell 6420 units. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 23 Variable administrative cost per unit 25 Total fixed overhead 46,500 Total fixed administrative 30,540 Using the total cost method what price should Galla charge?
Answer:
The price Galla should charge is $75
Explanation:
Solution
Now
The total cost = variable product cost + variable administrative cost + fixed overhead + fixed administrative
= ($23 * 6,420) + ($25 * 6,420) + $46,500 + $30,540
= $147,660 + $160,500 + $46,500 + $30,540
= $385,200
Thus,
The total cost per unit = Total cost / units
= $385,200 / 6,420 units
= $60
Hence
The selling price should charge = Cost per unit * 1.25
= $60 * 1.25
= $75

c. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 6 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 15 percent of output each year and country B saves 23 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part b and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker (k∗) , income per worker (y∗) , and consumption per worker (c∗) for each country.
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
Note that the production function of bother country = Y=F(K,L) = K L c : k^1/2 L^1/2.
Thus Y/L = b; b = k^1/2 L^1/2/ L.
b = k^1/2.
From the question we are given that L = 6% = 0.06.
Country A saves 15% = 15/100 = 0.15 and country B saves 23% = 23/100 = 0.23.
For country A,
(a). the steady state;
∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.15 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 2.5, k* = 6.25
(b). y = K^1/2 = (6.25)^1/2.
y* = 2.5
(c). C = 2.5 - (0.15 × 2.5) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 2.125.
Then, for COUNTRY B.
(a). ∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.25 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 4.167, k* = 17.36
(b). y = K^1/2 = (17.36)^1/2.
y* = 4.167.
(c). C = 4.167 - (0.25 × 4.167) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 3.127.
C* = 2.125.

Who has the comparative advantageLOADING... in producing oil? A. Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because its opportunity cost of producing oil is lower. B. Neither country has a comparative advantage producing oil because their opportunity costs of producing oil are equal. C. The United Kingdom has a comparative advantage producing oil because its opportunity cost of producing oil is lower. D. Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil. E. The United Kingdom has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil.
Answer:
The answer is option D) Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil.
Explanation:
Norway currently produces 1,398 thousand barrels of crude oil per day. At this capacity, it can produce more oil in comparison to United Kingdom that produces 1000 thousand barrels per day.
This statistics gives Norway a comparative advantage over United Kingdom.
Also comparing the consumption rate for both countries with Norway having a population of 5,421,241 which is far less than 66, 650,000 of the United Kingdom, shows that Norway will have enough to cater for her citizens as well as for exports.

Grab Manufacturing Co. purchased a 10-ton draw press at a cost of $183,000 with terms of 4/15, n/45. Payment was made within the discount period. Shipping costs were $4,300, which included $270 for insurance in transit. Installation costs totaled $12,900, which included $3,700 for taking out a section of a wall and rebuilding it because the press was too large for the doorway. The capitalized cost of the 10-ton draw press is: Multiple Choice $192,880. $190,880. $196,380. $197,880.
Answer:
$192,880
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Cost of 10-ton draw press is $183,000 and if the cost paid before 15 days, there will be a 4% discount.
Discount Value is
= Cost of Draw Press × Discount Rate
= $183,000 × 4%
= $7,320
Total Capitalized Amount is
= (Total Cost of Draw Press - Discount Value) + Shipping Cost + Installation Cost
= ($183,000 - $7,320) + $4,300 + $12,900
= $175,680 + $4,300 + $12,900
= $192,880
According to the analysis, the capitalized cost of the 10-ton draw press is $192,880.
Because any cost which incurred for using an asset should be capitalized.

elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Incremental Cost of Making Product
Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,
= 2.95 * 50,000
= $147,500
Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,
= 147,500 + 67,000
= $214,500
$214,500 is the cost making the product.
Cost of Buying Product
Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,
= 50,000 * 3.9
= $195,000
Cost of buying is $195,000
Decision
Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.
Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.
Answer:
elb Company
a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:
Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000
Total = $214,500
b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000
Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000
c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration. Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.
Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration. Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.
Now consider the case in which the manufacturer offers a marginal unit quantity discount for the plywood. The first 20,000 square feet of any order are sold at $1 per square foot, the next 20,000 square feet are sold at $0.98 per square foot, and any quantity larger than 40,000 square feet is sold for $0.96 per square foot. What is the optimal lot size for Prefab given this pricing structure? How much cycle inven
Answer:
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem
We are given following
Annual demand,
D = 20000*12
D = 240,000 sqft
Fixed order cost, is given as
S = $ 400
Considering the unit cost, is given as
C = $ 1
Holding cost, H = 1*20% = $ 0.2
EOQ = sqrt(2DS/H)
= √(2*240000*400/0.2)
= 30,984 sq ft
This is higher than 20,000 and less than 40,000 sq ft. For this reason, the applicable price for this quantity is $ 0.98
For C = $ 0.98, holding cost, H = 0.98*20% = $ 0.196
Revised EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.196) = 31,298 sq ft
Total annual cost of EOQ policy = D*C + H*Q/2 + S*D/Q
= 240000*0.98 + 0.196*31298/2 + 400*240000/31298
= $ 241,334.5
Now consider the next level of price, C = $ 0.96
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20% = $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
= 31633 sqft
This amount is will not be feasible for this price, because it requires a minimum order of 40000 sqft.
Therefore, Q = 40,000
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*40000/2 + 400*240000/40000
Total annual cost = $ 236,640
Total annual cost is lowest for order quantity of 40,000 sq ft.
1) Optimal lot size = 40,000 sq ft.
2) the annual cost of this policy
= $ 236,640
3) the cycle inventory of plywood at Prefab = Q/2 = 40000/2
At prefeb= 20,000 sq ft
4) let's assume the manufacturer sells all plywood at $ 0.96, then
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20%
H= $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
EOQ = 31633 sqft
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*31633/2 + 400*240000/31633
Total annual cost = $ 236,471.6
Difference in total annual cost = 236640 - 236471.6 = $ 168.4
Oriole Tire Co. just paid an annual dividend of $1.70 on its common shares. If Oriole is expected to increase its annual dividend by 3.10 percent per year into the foreseeable future and the current price of Oriole’s common shares is $19.65, what is the cost of common stock for Oriole? (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 0.1555 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.)
Answer:
Cost of common stock is 12.02%
Explanation:
The cost of common stock can be computed from share price formula given below:
share price=do*(1+g)/r-g
do is the dividend just paid which is $1.70
g is the expected dividend growth per year which is 3.10%
r is the cost of common stock which is unknown
share price is $19.65
by changing the subject of the formula:
r=do*(1+g)/share price+g
r=1.70*(1+3.10%)/19.65+3.10%
r=1.7527/19.65+3.10%
r=0.0892+3.10%=12.02%
The company's cost of capital which is also the cost of common stock is 12.02%

Answer:
1.
Dr. Investment Account $17,000
Cr. Gain on Sale $17,000
2.
Dr. retained Earning $17,000
Cr. Gain on Sale $17,000
Explanation:
1.
If an assets is sold more than the book value, then there is a gain on the sales of asset.
Gain on Sale = Sales Proceeds - Book value of Investment = $94,000 - $77,000 = $17,000
As sales proceeds of $94,000 are credited in the Investment account, which needs to be credited by $77,000 only. The excessive amount of $17,000 should be recorded in the Gain on sale account.
2.
Error is not discovered until 2022 and earning for 2021 was transferred to retained earning. So, adjustment should me made in the retained earnings to eliminate the effect.
Which of the following scenarios are potential candidates for the Chi-square test? Check all that apply. Group of answer choices Is there a relationship between gender and pet ownership? Is there a relationship between martial status (single, married, divorced, widowed) and political party affiliation (Democrat, Independent, Republican)? Is there a relationship between amount of credit card debt and employment status (unemployed, employed part-time, employed full-time)?
Answer:
A. Is there a relationship between gender and pet ownership?
B. Is there a relationship between marital status (single, married, divorced, widowed) and political party affiliation (Democrat, Independent, Republican)?
Explanation:
The chi squared test is a test in statistics used to establish the relationship between categorical variables. It seeks to compare the observed results in an experiment to the expected results. The test assumes that the variables being compared are independent of each other.
Categorical variables are descriptive and qualitative in nature. Numerical variables, on the other hand, deal with numbers. The amount of credit card debt is a numerical value, and therefore, does not qualify as a chi squared variable.

Samco signed a 5-year note payable on January 1, 2018, of $ 475 comma 000. The note requires annual principal payments each December 31 of $ 95 comma 000 plus interest at 9%. The entry to record the annual payment on December 31, 2021, includes A. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100. B. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 42 comma 750. C. a credit to Cash of $ 137 comma 750. D. a credit to Notes Payable for $ 95 comma 000.
Answer:
Option A, a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100 is correct
Explanation:
The principal amount on 1st January 2021 needs to be established since that would be the amount left after 2018,2019,2020 principals have been repaid
Principal at 1st January 2021=$475,000-($95,000*3)=$190000
Interest on principal in 2021=$190000 *9%=$17100
Total repayment in 2021=principal plus interest=$95,000+$17,100=$ 112,100.00
The $95,000 would be a debit to notes payable not credit hence option is wrong.
Only option A,a debit of $17,100 to interest expense is correct

On January 1, 2021, Swifty Corporation had 106000 shares of its $5 par value common stock outstanding. On June 1, the corporation acquired 10300 shares of stock to be held in the treasury. On December 1, when the market price of the stock was $13, the corporation declared a 15% stock dividend to be issued to stockholders of record on December 16, 2021. What was the impact of the 15% stock dividend on the balance of the retained earnings account?
Answer:
Decrease by $186,615
Explanation:
The impact of the 15% stock dividend on the balance of the retained earnings account is shown below:-
Shares = 106000 - 10300
= 95,700
Dividend of 15% = 95,700 × 15%
= $14,355
Value of shares = Dividend × Market price of the stock
= $14,355 × $13
= $186,615
So, the retained earning will decrease by $186,615

A. 9 comma 920 B. 10 comma 190 C. 6 comma 000 D. 6 comma 300
Answer:
B. 10 comma 190
Or none of the given
Explanation:
Particulars Units % of Completion Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion Materials Conversion
Transferred 6000 100 100 6000 6000
+Ending WIP 6300 100 60 6300 3780
+Normal Spoilage 550 100 60 550 330
+Abnormal
Spoilage 150 100 60 150 90
Total 13000 10200
As we see the total weighted Equivalent units for materials are 13000
and for conversion are 10200 . So the correct choice would be 10190 that is choice B which the nearest answer of the choices given to the answer calculated .
Under weighted method the Transferred out units are added to the ending work in process and the normal and abnormal spoilage is also added to find the equivalent units of production.
The other answer would be none of the given choices if exact figures are to be matched.
We can consider the case where wine producers in Chile ask the government to tax imported wines from France with a tax. They consider that this tax would increase both the State's tax revenue and employment in the Chilean wine industry. What kind of economic argument is this in relation to international trade? Do you agree or not with the argument presented by wine producers in Chile? If the state government adopts this position, does it consider it to be good economic policy or not? Briefly explain your answers using the concepts of international trade discussed in your Textbook.
Answer:
If the Government executes taxes on lavender trade from France (therefore creating French wine beloved than national wine), the local wine manufacturers would take pleasure in such a strategy because it would create French wine much economical (since it'll value extra) and therefore doubtless growth in local wine drinking. This might additional because additional service chances within the national wine region and conjointly rise the Government's government revenue (income from taxes on the wine trade). Such a procedure is hidden wanting i.e. an advocate procedure in expressions of Global trade wherever the govt. is protective the benefits of the native wine manufacturers by heavy imports.
If the Chilean wine trade isn't terribly inexpensive in relations of value, feature etc. and remains at an emergent phase then it's vital to safeguard the local trade from global competition.
Margie Company produces a single product and has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 88 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 5,200 Units sold 4,900 Units in ending inventory 300 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 12 Direct labor $ 23 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 161,200 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 63,700 The total contribution margin for the month under variable costing is:
Answer:
$225,400
Explanation:
The computation of total contribution margin under variable costing is shown below:-
Sales (4900 × $88) $431,200
Less:Variable cost
Direct material (4900 × $12) ($58,800)
Direct labor (4900 × 23) ($112,700)
Variable manufacturing overhead
(4900 × 2) ($9,800)
Variable selling and administrative
expenses (4900 × $5) ($24,500)
Total variable expenses ($205,800)
Contribution margin $225,400
Therefore the total contribution margin under variable costing is $225,400
The following information was drawn from the balance sheets of the Kansas and Montana companies: Kansas Montana Current assets $ 59,000 $ 78,000 Current liabilities 40,000 43,000 Required a. Compute the current ratio for each company. b. Which company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills? c. Assume that both companies have the same amount of total assets. Speculate as to which company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.
Answer:
a) Current ratio for Kansas company is 1.475
Current ratio for Montana company is 1.814
b) Since the current ratio for the Montana company is more than that of the Kansas company which shows better liquidity, the Montana company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills.
c) Kansas company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.
Explanation:
Current Assets Current liabilities
Kansas Company $ 59,000 $ 40,000
Montana Company $ 78,000 $ 43,000
a) To calculate the current ratio of A company
Current ratio = [tex]\frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]
Therefore current ratio for Kansas company = $ 59,000 ÷ $ 40,000 = 1.475
Current ratio for Montana company = $ 78,000 ÷ $ 43,000 = 1.814

(Being the dividend payable is recorded)
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. What is the unemployment rate?
Answer:
10.7%
Explanation:
Solution:
Recall that:
The Reports from Bureau of labor statistics is shown as follows:
Employed people = 25 million
Unemployed people = 3 million
Discouraged workers = 1 million
Workers or Homemakers or retirees, or students = 1 million
The next step from this scenario is to find out the unemployment rate
Now,
The rate of unemployed = (unemployed x 100 ) / labor force
= 300/28
=10.7%
