Answer:
200,000 units by Weighted Average Cost Method
164,000 units by FIFO Method
Explanation:
1. Where Weighted Average Cost Method is used.
Assuming that Gantner Company uses the Weighted Average Cost Method, the total number of equivalent units for materials during May can be determined as follows :
Completed and transferred out (180000 x 100) 180,000
Ending Work In Process (50000 x 40%) 20,000
Total equivalent units for materials 200,000
1. FIFO Method is used.
Assuming that Gantner Company uses the FIFO Cost Method, the total number of equivalent units for materials during May can be determined as follows :
To Complete Opening Work in Process (60000 x 40%) 24,000
Completed and transferred out (180000 - 60,000) x 100% 120,000
Ending Work In Process (50000 x 40%) 20,000
Total equivalent units for materials 164,000
Bach Co. had an inventory balance of $15,250 on January 1, purchased $34,000 during the accounting period, and the cost of goods sold was $28,000. What is the ending balance in the inventory account (the cost of ending inventory)
Answer:
$21,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the ending balance in the inventory account
Using this formula
Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchase during the year - Ending balance of inventory
Let plug in the formula
$28,000 = $15,250 + $34,000 - Ending balance of inventory
Ending balance of inventory = $49,250 - $28,000
Ending balance of inventory = $21,250
Therefore the ending balance in the inventory account is $21,250

rt, a $0.73 per share cash dividend was declared by the board of directors for it common stock. On 12/31, the date of declaration, there were 98,000 shares authorized, 59,000 shares issued, and 8,000 Treasury shares. On the date of the dividend declaration, what amount will Walmart record into their dividend account
Answer:
$36,792
Explanation:
Missing word "At Walmart, the board of directors declared a $0.73"
Outstanding stockholder = Issued stockholder - Treasury stock
Outstanding stockholder = 59,000 shares - 8,600 shares
Outstanding stockholder = 50,400 shares
Amount of Dividend = Declared per share cash dividend * Outstanding stockholder
Amount of Dividend = 50,400 shares * $0.73
Amount of Dividend = $36,792
So therefore, on the date of the dividend declaration, $36,792 shall be recorded by Walmart into their dividend account.
Casey Motors recently reported net income of $55 million. The firm's tax rate was 40.0% and interest expense was $19 million. The company's after-tax cost of capital is 9.0% and the firm's total investor supplied operating capital employed equals $385 million. What is the company's EVA
Answer:
$31.76 million
Explanation:
Economic Value Added is the residual wealth left for shareholders after having accounted for the financing needs of the company as shown by the formula below:
EVA=NOPAT-(WACC*invested capital)
NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax =operating profit(EBIT)*(1-tax rate)
Net income=Earnings before tax*(1-tax rate)
net income= $55 million
EBT=unknown
tax rate=40.0%
$55=EBT*(1-40.0%)
$55=EBT*0.60
EBT=$55/0.60
EBT=$91.67
EBIT=EBT+interest
EBIT=$91.67+$19
EBIT=$110.67
NOPAT=$110.67*(1-40%)
NOPAT=$66.41
WACC=9.0%
perating capital employed=$385
EVA=$66.41-(9.0%*$385)

Answer:
The federal government reserves the power to print money. By printing money to pay its debts, the government decreases the value of money and causes the inflation tax.Explanation:
As per the Constitution, the Federal government reserves the sole right to print currency. This ensures that all the states have a stable medium of exchange thereby allowing goods and services to flow across states undisturbed.
When the government prints money to enable it pay off its debt, the value of the currency decreases because the supply of money has increased relative to its demand. As a result, the currency will only be able to buy less than it was able to buy before thereby creating a sort of inflation tax because people would be paying an extra amount in order to purchase goods and services
The cost of preferred stock
Preferred stock is a hybrid security, because it has some characteristics typical of debt and others typical of equity. The following table lists various characteristics of preferred stock. Determine which of these characteristics is consistent with debt and which is consistent with equity.
Characteristics Debt Equity
Dividends are fixed
Usually has no specified maturity date
Consider the case of Tamin Enterprises:
At the present time, Tamin Enterprises does not have any preferred stock outstanding but is looking to include preferred stock in its capital structure in the future. Tamin has found some institutional investors that are willing to purchase its preferred stock issue provided that it pays a perpetual dividend of $11 per share. If the investors pay $97.95 per share for their investment, then Tamin's cost of preferred stock (rounded to four decimal places) will be:_____.
Answer:
Dividends are fixed ⇒ Debt
Preferred dividends are fixed much like the interest payments made on debt which makes this a characteristic of debt.
Usually have no specified maturity date ⇒ Equity
Equity does not have an expiration or maturity date and preferred shares share this same characteristic.
Cost of preferred stock.
The value of a Preferred stock is calculated by the formula:
Price = Dividend / Cost of preferred stock
97.95 = 11 / Cp
97.95 * Cp = 11
Cp = 11/ 97.95
= 11.23%

f pressure is put on the government to maintain a balanced budget during a recession. In this scenario, government would need to _____ taxes, which would cause aggregate demand to ____. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Increase
fall
Explanation:
A recession occurs when the gross domestic product of a country for two consecutive quarters is negative.
Annually balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure.
If in a recession, a government is under pressure to maintain a balanced budget, the government would need to increase taxes. this is because income would be less than government expenditure as a result of the recession. In order to maintain a balanced budget, the government can either increases taxes are reduce expenditure.
When taxes are increased, disposable income falls and this causes aggregate demand to fall
Using the Base Case, calculate total depreciation expense for the year 2023E. Assume that depreciation expense on assets pre-2020E is $15,000 per year. Depreciation on capital expenditures made from 2020E-2024E assumes a 4-year useful life and a salvage value equal to 10% of the original cost.
Review Later
a) $19,500
b) $33,000
c) $30,000
d) $20,000
Answer:
b) $33,000
Explanation:
Capital Expenditure = $20,000
Salvage Value in % = 10%
Useful Life = 4 Years
Salvage Value = Salvage Value% * Capital Expenditure
Salvage Value = 10% * 20,000
Salvage Value = $2,000
Annual Depreciation = (Capital Expenditures - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = ($20,000 - $2,000) / 4
Annual Depreciation = $18,000 / 4
Annual Depreciation = $4,500
Depreciation of 2023E = Depreciation Pre 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2021E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2022E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2023E
Depreciation of 2023E = $15,000 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500
Depreciation of 2023E = $33,000
calls for establishing cost reduction targets for products or services that an organization is currently providing to customers. A. Kaizen costing B. Process reengineering C. Target costing D. Activity-based costing
Answer:
A. Kaizen costing
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
Kaizen costing refer to calls for establishing cost reduction targets with respect to products or services that an organization is currently providing to customers. The word "Kaizen" has a Japanese origin and it simply means continuous improvement to a thing.
During 2011, Simon Kidman, the sole shareholder of a calendar year S corporation, received a distribution of $75,000. On December 31, 2010, his stock basis was $24,000. The corporation earned $50,000 ordinary income during the year. It has no accumulated E & P. Which statement is correct?

b. Kidman's return of capital is $50,000
c. Kidman recognizes a $1,000 LTCG
d. Kidman's ordinary income is $64,000
e. None of the above
Answer: c. Kidman recognizes a $1,000 LTCG
Explanation:
Long term gain can be calculated by the formula:
Capital gain = Distribution received - Basis in stock - Ordinary income earned
= 75,000 - 24,000 - 50,000
= $1,000
Long Term Capital gain is therefore $1,000.
You are the project manager assigned to build and decorate a model home. What might be an example of a lead you encounter when scheduling work activities
Answer:
The project manager will face difficulties in lead activities if procurement department is not efficient and cooperative.

Sheffield Corp. has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. 4900 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 4900 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 4000 pounds. Sheffield Corp.'s materials quantity variance is:_____.
a. $1980 U.
b. $1800 F.
c. $1800 U.
d. $1980 F.
Answer:
a. $1,980 U
Explanation:
We will compute the direct materials quantity variance using the formula below.
Direct materials quantity variance =
(Standard quantity allowed - Actual quantity of materials) × Materials price standard
Fixing in the values, we'll have;
Direct materials quantity variance
= (4,000 pounds - 4,900 pounds) × $2.20 per pound
= -900 pounds × $2.20 per pound
= -$1,980
= $1,980 U
Risk is best thought of as the potential for variability in the investment’s outcomes. This means that if an investment has the potential to provide only one possible outcome or return, then it is , while if there is more than one possible return or result, then the asset should be considered . This is why securities sold by the U.S. Treasury have historically been considered to be the securities in the world; because except in the event of the failure of the U.S. government, any investor holding a Treasury security would receive the security’s face value upon its maturity.
Answer:
safe or risk free, risky, safest
Explanation:
In investment market, risk is defined as the potential for the variability in the outcomes of the investment. Thus it is meant that outcome or return of making an investment is safe and risk free if there is only one return or outcome. But if there are more than one possible return from the investment, then that investment is considered as risky. For this reason the securities sold by the United States' Treasury is considered to be the safest securities in the world as the investor will receive the face value of the security upon its maturity from the government.
Fowler, Inc., just paid a dividend of $2.55 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.9 percent per year, indefinitely. If investors require a return of 10.4 percent on this stock, what is the current price? What will the price be in three years? In 15 years?
Answer:
Use the Gordon Growth formula for this.
The price of a stock in the current year is:
= (Dividends in current year * (1 + growth rate) ) / (Required return - growth rate)
Current price
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%) ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $40.76
In 3 years:
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%)⁴ ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $45.72
In 15 years:
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%)¹⁶ ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $72.36

When will the balance be half paid off? d. What is the total interest expense on the loan over the 5 years?
Answer:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
Explanation:
Use PMT for the interest amount computation
[tex]PMT(12\%, 55, 232000, 0 , 0) = \$27,894.77[/tex]
At first, the bulk of an initial premium is paid at the rate of interest, and that only the remainder of the small part is used for amortization. The very first three years schedule is shown below:
[tex]Loan\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Annual\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Interest\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Principal\\\\[/tex]
[tex]1\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$232,000.00\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,894.77\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,840.00\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$54.77\\\\2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$231,945.23\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,894.77\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,833.43\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$61.34\\\\3\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$231,883.89 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,894.77\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,826.07\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$68.70\\\\[/tex]
By the 49th payment, upwards of half of the initial amount borrowed would be the total principal paid. Using the formula CUMPRINC in excel, the entire principal payment is calculated twice.
Total Interest Expense [tex]= 27,894.77 \times 55 - 232,000 = \$1,302,212.27[/tex]

A. Drop.
B. Lab.
C. Edge.
D. Straight line.
E. Box.
Answer:
Drop
Explanation:
Competitive Analysis
This is commonly refered to as a form of research review and final evaluation of one's competitors. It is beneficial due to the fact that the information you obtained/known can help you to be based on your competitor weaknesses
When starting this analysis, always you set up expectations that can be achieved so that one's team has enough time to fully research, analyze, and share their findings.
Competitive analysis, as a part of your business planning, is a means by which an individual believes that their business will survive and thrive competitively in the market because the individual has full attachment to current competitors and one's potential competition too. Putting the robot through a drop test is not correct as it may destroy it.

Lot’s Wife Manufacturing produces rear-view video systems for buses. The firm’s cost function is TC = 2,000 + 120 Q. If the systems sell for $145, what is the break-even rate of production?
Answer:
80
Explanation:
in this question we have the cost function to be
TC = 2,000 + 120 Q.
breakeven point is at total cost = total revenue
total revenue = p*q
= 145 *Q= 145Q
tc = total cost = 145Q
145Q = 2000 + 120Q
We collect like terms from this equation above
145Q-120Q= 2000
25Q = 2000
divide through by 25
Q = 2000/25
q = 80
the breakeven rate of production is 80 quantities.
