2. Cost of one unit of finished goods: direct materials 1 pound at $6 per pound, direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour, and manufacturing overhead $7 per direct labor hour.
3. Inventories (raw materials only): beginning, 10,120 pounds; ending, 15,480 pounds.
4. Selling and administrative expenses: $170,000; interest expense: $30,000.
5. Income taxes: 30% of income before income taxes.
Prepare a schedule showing the computation of cost of goods sold for 2020.
Answer:
COST OF Goods SOLD $ 1,1539,110
Explanation:
Fultz Company
Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold for 2020
As there are no beginning and ending finished goods inventories the total units produced are sold. (Finished Goods required 31410 Units)
Inventories raw materials : beginning, 10,120 pounds
Add Direct Materials Purchases 36770 pounds
Less Inventories ending raw materials , 15,480 pounds
Direct Materials Used 31410 pounds
Materials 1 pound at $6 per pound= $ 6* 31410 Units= $ 188460
Direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour= $ 36* 31410 Units= $ 1130780
Manufacturing Overhead $7 per direct labor hour= $ 7* 31410 Units=
$ 219870
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 1,1539,110
There are no beginning and ending work in process inventories so the total manufacturing cost gives us the COST OF Goods SOLD.
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
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

Answer:
The amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 is $26,250
Explanation:
In order to calculate the calculate the amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 we would have to use the following formula:
amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=(AOCI net gain 12/31/20-Corridor amount for 2021)/Average remaining service life
AOCI net gain 12/31/20=$1,512,000
Corridor amount for 2021=$1,092,000=10,920,000*10%
Average remaining service life=16
Therefore, AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=($1,512,000-$1,092,000)/16
AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=$26,250

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.
A company sells goods to a customer who will pay the full amount in 30 days.How should the company record the sale
Answer:
Credit sales
Debit receivables
Explanation:
This is a sales on account transaction which affect the sales and receivables account.
When this transaction occurs , the company has definitely made a sale which will lead to an inflow of cash in 30 days time, even though the income is recognized immediately according to the accrual method of accounting
To record this , the sales account is credited with the value of the goods sold and the account receivable is debited for with the same amount.
The receivable is a record of payment being owed to the company by its customers.
A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000
Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000
But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.
Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of
= $18,000 - $12000
= $6000.
With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.
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.
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.

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.

Dan Bumblauskas is the owner of a small Iowa company that produces electric knives used to cut fabric. The annual demand is for 10 comma 500 knives, and Dan produces the knives in batches. On average, Dan can produce 190 knives per day; during the production process, demand has been about 70 knives per day. The cost to set up the production process is $85, and it costs Dan $1.10 to carry a knife for 1 year. How many knives should Dan produce in each batch?
Answer:
1,012.36 knives produced in each month
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Annual demand = 10,500
Ordering cost = $85
Holding cost = $1.10
Daily demand = 70 knives per day
Production knives per day = 190 knives
Based on the given information, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2\times annual\ demand \times ordering\ cost}{holding\ cost} \times 1 - \frac{daily\ demand}{production}[/tex]
[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 10,500 \times\$85}{\$1.10} \times 1 - \frac{70}{190}[/tex]
= 1,012.36 knives produced in each month
We simply applied the above formula to find out the knives produced in each batch
Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.
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%.

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

Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 300 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places
Answer:
42,51%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment
Calculation of Average Profits
Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years
= (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10
= $2,510,000 / 8
= $313,750
Calculation of Average Investment
Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2
= $1,476,000/2
= $738,000
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100
= 42,51%

Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:
a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit
Answer:
The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ
Explanation:
Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.
In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.
By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.
Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.
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.
If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Frederick Company has two service departments (Cafeteria Services & Maintenance). Frederick has two production departments (Assembly Department & Packaging Department.) Frederick uses a step allocation method where Cafeteria Services is allocated to all departments and Maintenance Services is allocated to the production departments. All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10
Answer:
The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.
Total employees of in Production Department is= 10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20
Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20
Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750
Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department
Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500
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.

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.
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
= $58.49 per unit
