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.
Bass Accounting Services expects its accountants to work a total of 26 comma 000 direct labor hours per year. The company's estimated total indirect costs are $ 390 comma 000. The company uses direct labor hours as the allocation base for indirect costs. What is the indirect cost allocation rate? A. $ 18.00 per hour B. $ 30.00 per hour C. $ 15.00 per hour D. $ 150.00 per hour
Answer:
C) $ 15.00 per hour
Explanation:
total labor hours 26,000 per year
total indirect costs $390,000
if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:
$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour
This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) $15 per hour
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Expected wok for accountants = 26,000
The company estimated total indirect costs - 390,000
The next step is to find the allocation base cost for indirect cost.
Now,
The indirect labor cost is calculated as follows:
indirect cost allocation rate:
= Total indirect costs/Labor hours
= $390,000/26,000
= $15 per hours
Which of the following statements generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists? a. Increases in the money supply shift aggregate demand to the right. b. In the long run, increases in the money supply increase prices, but not output. c. Recessions are associated with decreases in consumption, investment, and employment. d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Answer:
d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Explanation:
Suggesting that the government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists because the process of implementing fiscal policy usually experiences lag as it is being slowed down by the political system (bureaucracy) of checks and balances.
Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures, revenues and tax policies to influence macroeconomic conditions such as employment, inflation and Aggregate Demand (ADl in a specific country.
The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.
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

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
Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000

Explanation:
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

The following information is taken from the accounts of Latta Company. The entries in the T-accounts are summaries of the transactions that affected those accounts during the year. Manufacturing Overhead (a) 486,144 (b) 405,120 Bal. 81,024 Work in Process Bal. 10,880 (c) 754,000 298,500 90,500 (b) 405,120 Bal. 51,000 Finished Goods Bal. 39,000 (d) 662,000 (c) 754,000 Bal. 131,000 Cost of Goods Sold (d) 662,000 The overhead that had been applied to production during the year is distributed among Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold as of the end of the year as follows: Work in Process, ending $ 24,480 Finished Goods, ending 62,880 Cost of Goods Sold 317,760 Overhead applied $ 405,120 For example, of the $51,000 ending balance in work in process, $24,480 was overhead that had been applied during the year. Required: 1. Identify reasons for entries (a) through (d). 2. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry. 3. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry.
Answer and Explanation:

3.
Work in process ending $24,480 =6.04%
Finished goods ending $62,880 =15.52%
Cost of goods sold $317,760 =78.44%
Total cost $405.120 =100%
To calculate overhead allocation :
Work in process ending = ($81,024× 6.04%) =$4,894
Finished goods ending = ($81,024 × 15.52%) =$12,575
Cost of goods sold = ($81,024 × 78.44%) = $63,355
Total cost = $81,024

The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540
Suppose that you are the international treasurer of Apple with an extra U.S. $10 million to invest for 9 months. You are considering the purchase of U.S. T-bills that yield 1.50% annual rate. The spot exchange rate is $1.00 = ¥100, and the 9 month forward rate is $1.00 = ¥110. What must the interest rate in Japan be before you are willing to consider investing there for 9 months? A. 14.5515 B. <8.8975 C. >13.4983 D. 12.5050
Answer:
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Explanation:
As per Interest Rate Parity Theory
Spot Rate : 1$ = 100
Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110
r = 9/12
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)
Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)
110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12) / 1.01125
1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375
Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195
We simply applied the above formula
The following information will be used for 2 questions on this exam: Charlotte Corporation's management keeps track of the time it takes to process orders. During the most recent month, the following average times were recorded per order: Time spent between receipt of order and start of production 3.7 days Time spent ensuring quality levels 0.2 days Time spent working on the product 1.3 days Time spent transporting the product between work stations 0.8 days Time spent waiting to be worked on in the factory 6.9 days What is the throughput time?
Answer:
6.00 days
Explanation:
data provided
Inspection time = 3.7 days
Process time = 0.2 days
Move time = 1.3 days
Queue time = 0.8 days
The calculation of throughput time is given below:-
Throughput time = Inspection time + Process time + Move time + Queue time
= 3.7 days + 0.2 days + 1.3 days + 0.8 days
= 6.00 days
Here, we added the inspection time, process time , move time and queue time to reach at throughput time and we ignore the time spent waiting to be worked on in the factory as it is not relevant.
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.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29

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.

Explanation:
P=99-qa-qb
MRa=99-2qb-qb
MCa=48
99-2qa-qb=48
Qa=25.5-0.5qb{ best response function of firm A)
MRb=99-qa-2qb
MCb=4
99-qa-2qb=4
Qb=47.5-0.5qa{ best response function of form b}
Qb=47.5-0.5(25.5-0.5qb)
Qb=34.75/0.75=46.33
Qa=25.5-0.5*46.33=2.33
Total world output=46.33+2.33=48.66
Total world emission=0.5*48.66=24.33
p=1146-qa-qb-qc
MRa=1146-2qa-qb-qc
MCa=0
1146-2qa-qb-qc=0
Qa=573-0.5(qb+qc) best response function of firm a)
By symmetry,
Qb=573-0.5(qa+qc)
Qc=573-0.5(qa+qb)
Qb+qc=1146-qa-0.5(qb+qc)
Qb+qc=764-qa/1.5
Qa=573-0.5(764-qa/1.5)=191+qa/3
Qa=191*3/2=286.5
Qa=Qb=Qc=286.5
Total output=3*286.5=859.5( cournot equilibrium market output)
Cartel output=573
Lower QUANTITY in cartel equilibrium compare to cournot equilibrium
=859.5-573

The following information relates to the pension plan for the employees of Turner Co.: 1/1/20 12/31/20 12/31/21 Projected benefit obligation 9,765,000 10,458,000 14,007,000 Fair value of plan assets 8,925,000 10,920,000 12,054,000 AOCI – net (gain) or loss -0- (1,512,000) (1,680,000) Settlement rate (for year) 11% 11% Expected rate of return (for year) 8% 7% Turner estimates that the average remaining service life is 16 years. Turner's contribution was $1,323,000 in 2021 and benefits paid to retired employees was $987,000. The amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 is
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
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.
A Company manufactures coffee tables. The Company has a policy of adding a 20% markup to full costs and currently has excess capacity. The following information pertains to the company's normal operations per month: Output units 30,000 tables Machine-hours 6000 hours Direct manufacturing labor-hours 10,000 hours Direct materials per unit $50 Direct manufacturing labor per hour $12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead costs $322,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $1,200,000 Product and process design costs $600,000 Marketing and distribution costs $1,290,000 For long-run pricing of the coffee tables, what price will most likely be used by the Company
Answer:
$201.30
Explanation:
Direct materials = $50
Total Direct manufacturing labor = $12.00 * 10,000 = $120,000
Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $322,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs = $1,200,000
Product and process design costs = $600,000
Marketing and distribution costs = $1,290,000
Total cost apart from direct material = $120,000 + $322,500 + $1,200,000 + $600,000 + $1,290,000 = $3,532,500
Cost per unit apart from direct material = $3,532,500 / 30,000 = $117.75
Total cost per unit = $117.75 + $50 = $167.75
Mark up per unit = $167.75 * 20% = $33.55
Price per unit = $167.75 + $33.55 = $201.30
Answer: $201.30
Explanation:
To solve this all the expenses incurred per unit need to be included in the unit.
Direct Materials $50
Direct Manufacturing Labour Hours per unit
= (10,000/30,000 units) * 12 (direct Manufacturing Labour per hour)
= $4
Variable Manufacturing Overhead Cost
= 322,500/30,000
= $10.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs
= 1,200,000/30,000
= $40
Product and process design costs
= 600,000/30,000
= $20
Marketing and distribution costs
= 1,290,000/30,000
= $43
Adding everything up,
= 50 + 4 + 10.75 + 40 + 20 + 43
= $167.75
Company adds 20% to costs so,
= 167.75 * ( 1 + 20%)
= $201.30
Company will most likely sell at $201.30
