Answer:
1.Total Equivalent Units Materials 471,600 Conversion 464,400
2. Cost Per Equivalent Unit Materials $ 1.33 Conversion $ 0.75
3. Cost of Ending Work In Process $ 39528
4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 936,000
5. Cost Materials $ 627 228 and Conversion $348,300
Explanation:

Transferred Out 450000 100 100 450,000 450,000
Ending WIP 36000 60 40 21,600 14,400
Total Equivalent Units 471,600 464,400
Transferred Out units are calculated by adding Opening Inventory and production started and subtracting ending inventory units.
Transferred Out units = Opening Inventory+ production started -ending inventory units
Transferred Out units =76,000 + 410,00 - 36000= 450000 units.
2. Cost Per Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion
Cost Of Opening Inventory 117,900 53600
Cost Added 613,080 294,700
Total Costs 624,980 348,300
Equivalent Units 471,600 464,400
Cost per Equivalent Unit 624980/471600 348300/464400
$ 1.33 $ 0.75
3. Cost of Ending Work In Process $ 39528
Materials = 21600 * $ 1.33= $ 28728
Conversion = 14400 * $ 0.75= $10800
We multiply the equivalent number of units with the cost per unit to find the cost.
4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 936,000
Materials = 450 000 * $ 1.33= $ 598,500
Conversion = 450000 * $ 0.75 = $ 337,500
5. A Cost Reconciliation Report
Materials Conversion
Ending WIP $ 28728 $10800
Transferred Out $ 598,500 $ 337,500
Total 627 228** 348,300
These calculated costs reconcile with the costs given in the above data.
Materials Conversion
Cost Of Opening Inventory 117,900 53600
Cost Added 613,080 294,700
Total Costs 624,980** 348,300
The difference is in the cost of materials which is actually 624,980** and we found it out to be 627 228** . This is because we rounded the Cost per Equivalent Unit of material from $ 1.325 to $1.33
If we multiply 1.325 * 471,600 we get $ 624870 which is almost the same.

Never Forget Bakery purchased a lot in Oil City six years ago at a cost of $278,000. Today, that lot has a market value of $320,000. At the time of the purchase, the company spent $6,000 to level the lot and another $8,000 to install storm drains. The company now wants to build a new facility on that site. The building cost is estimated at $1.03 million. What amount should be used as the initial cash flow for this project?
Answer:
The amount that should be used as the initial cash flow for this project is $1,350,000
Explanation:
The amount to be used as the initial cash flow for the project comprises of estimated building cost of $1.03 million and the market worth of the lot now.
The cost six years ago of $278,000,the cost of leveling as well as the cost of installing the storm drains were long ago time and are not relevant now.
In a nutshell the cost of the new project is $1,350,000($1,030,000+$320,0000)
Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000
Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000
Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900
Required:
1. Evaluate in the following ways whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
a. Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old
b. Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
c. Comparing the profitability index for each choice.
d. Calculate the internal rate of return for the new and old blackhoes.
e. Comparing the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.

Bonnie Jo purchased a used camera (five-year property) for use in her sole proprietorship. The basis of the camera was $3,000. Bonnie Jo used the camera in her business 60 percent of the time and used it for personal purposes the rest of the time during the first year. Calculate Bonnie Jo's depreciation deduction during the first year, assuming the sole proprietorship had a loss during the year. (Bonnie did not place the property in service in the last quarter.)
Answer:
$360
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation deduction during the first year is shown below:
= Basis of the camera × given percentage × weightage
= $3,000 × 60% × 20%
= $360
Since the 60% is used for business and 40% used for personal
And there is a recovery period of assets of 5 years so half year convention period applies
On January 2, 2020, Concord Corporation replaced its boiler with a more efficient one. The following information was available on that date: Purchase price of new boiler $140500 Carrying amount of old boiler 8500 Fair value of old boiler 3200 Installation cost of new boiler 21600 The old boiler was sold for $3200. What amount should Concord capitalize as the cost of the new boiler
Answer:
The amount that Concord should capitalize as the cost of the new boiler is $162,100
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
The price of purchasing a new boiler = $140500
The amount of old boiler = 8500
The cost of installation of new boiler = $21600
Old boiler sold for = $3200
Now,
The Cost of New Boiler = Purchase Price of new boiler + Installation cost of new boiler
= $140500 + 21600
= $162,100
In 2020, Marigold Corp., issued for $102 per share, 86000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Marigold's $25 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $30 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock?
Answer:
$2322,000
Explanation:
The computation of amount credited to additional paid-in capital is shown below:-
Amount credited to additional paid-in capital = Issued per share × Number of shares) - (Number if shares × Preferred stock shares converted into three shares × Par value of common stock
= ($102 × 86,000) - (86,000 × 3 × $25)
= $8,772,000 - $6,450,000
= $2322,000
So, for computing the amount credited to additional paid-in capital we simply applied the above formula.
You pay $20,800 to the Laramie Fund which has a NAV of $18.00 per share at the beginning of the year. The fund deducted a front-end load of 3.00%. The securities in the fund increased in value by 12% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.50% and is deducted from year end asset values. What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Answer:
6.92%
Explanation:
Beginning investment fund is $20,800.
Now, fund available= Beginning fund(1-front end load)
=20,800(1-0.03)=$20176
Now, the number of shares that can be brought with the available fund
[tex}\text{Number of shares}=\frac{\text{fund available}}{NAV_{beginning}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{20176}{18}[/tex]
=1120
Now calculating closing NAV
NAV(closing)=NAV(beginning)=(1+increased%)
=$18(1+12%)=18×1.12
=$20.16
Calculate year end asset value
Year end asset value =NAV(closing)×No. of shares
=$20.16×1120=$22579.2
Value of investment after deducting the expense ratio
Closing investment value = Year end asset value×(1-expense ratio)
=$22579.2×(1-1.5%)
=$22240.512
Now,
Return on the fund =[(closing investment value)-(Beginning investment fund)]÷Beginning investment fund
=(22240.512-20800)÷20800
=0.0692
or, 6.92%

The president of Ravens Inc. attended a seminar about the contribution margin model and returned to her company full of enthusiasm about it. She requested that last year’s traditional model income statement be revised, and she received the following report: Division Total Company A B C Sales $ 484,000 $ 188,000 $ 128,000 $ 168,000 Variable expenses 268,000 112,000 66,000 90,000 Contribution margin $ 216,000 $ 76,000 $ 62,000 $ 78,000 Fixed expenses 172,000 54,000 68,000 50,000 Net income (loss) $ 44,000 $ 22,000 $ (6,000 ) $ 28,000 The president was told that the fixed expenses of $172,000 included $94,500 that had been split evenly between divisions because they were general corporate expenses. After looking at the statement, the president exclaimed, "I knew it! Division B is a drag on the whole company. Close it down!"
Evaluate the President's remark.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The president remark in case of the allocated fixed expenses should be ignored the misleading result as it is seen that the division B has suffered a loss of $6,000 due to which the president exclaimed "I knew it!.
Moreover the president ignored the given information i.e $172,000 included $94,500 that had been split evenly between divisions as they are classified as a general corporate expenses
So if it is split evenly the general corporate expenses for division B is $31,500 which is come from by dividing the $94,500 from 3 divisions
And if we do not allocated the expenses so all divisions would come in profit
Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity company. Its stock has a beta of .94. The market risk premium is 7.5 percent and the risk-free rate is 3.3 percent. The company is considering a project that it considers riskier than its current operations so it wants to apply an adjustment of 2.5 percent to the project's discount rate. What should the firm set as the required rate of return for the project
Answer:
Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%
Explanation:
The risk-adjusted discount factor = cost of equity + the adjustment
Cost of equity can be calculated using the capital asset pricing model CAPM
Using the CAPM , the rate of return on equity can be determined as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) =? , Rf- 3.3%, Rm- 7.5%, β- 0.94
Cost of equity = Rf + β (Rm -Rf)
Cost of equity = 3.3% + 0.94×(7.5-3.3)= 7.248
The risk-adjusted discount factor= 7.248 + 2.5= 9.748
Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%

Early in 2021, the Excalibur Company began developing a new software package to be marketed. The project was completed in December 2021 at a cost of $36 million. Of this amount, $24 million was spent before technological feasibility was established. Excalibur expects a useful life of five years for the new product with total revenues of $60 million. During 2022, revenue of $18 million was recognized. Required: 1. Prepare a journal entry to record the 2021 development costs. 2. Calculate the required amortization for 2022. 3. Determine the amount to report for the computer software costs in the December 31, 2022, balance sheet.
Answer:
Dr research and development expense $24,000,000
Dr computer software costs $12,000,000
Cr Cash $36,000,000
Amortization is $3,600,000
Balance sheet balance in 2022 is $8,400,000
Explanation:
The cash of $36 million spent would be credited to cash account as an outflow of cash while $24 million would be debited to research and development expense account with the balance of $12 debited to computer software costs as asset
amortization for 2022=cost of software*revenue in 2022/total estimated revenue=$12,000,000*$18,000,000/$60,000,000=$3,600,00
Amount of computer software at 31 December 2022=$12,000,000-$3,600,000=$ 8,400,000

During April, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 18,000 units that were in process at the beginning of April and 90,000 units that were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to labor. At the end of April, 30,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor. The beginning inventory included materials cost of $107,000 and the production department incurred direct materials cost of $329,000 during the month. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of materials = $3.16
Explanation:
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.
Cost per equivalent unit = cost / total equivalent units
Total units completed and transferred out= 18,000 + 90000= 108,000
Items Unit Equivalent unit
Completed units 108,000 100% × 108,000 = 108,000
Closing inventory 30,000 100% × 30,000 = 30,000
Total equivalent unit of material 138,000
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost/Total equivalent unit
= (107,000 + 329,000) /138,000 units
= $3.16
Blossom Co. leased machinery from Young, Inc. on January 1, 2020. The lease term was for 8 years, with equal annual rental payments of $5,800 at the beginning of each year. In addition, the lease provides an option to purchase the machinery at the end of the lease term for $1,500, which Blossom is reasonably certain it will exercise as it believes the fair value of the machinery will be at least $5,000. The machinery has a useful life of 10 years and a fair value of $43,000. The implicit rate of the lease is not known to Blossom. Blossom’s incremental borrowing rate is 9%. Prepare Blossom’s 2020 journal entries
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
1. Right of use Dr, $35,743.93
To lease liability $35,743.93
(Being lease assets and lease liability is recorded)
Working note as attached using spreadsheet
Here we debited the right of use as it increased the assets and we credited the lease liability as it also increased the liability
2. Lease liability Dr, $5,800
To Cash $5,800
(Being payment on lease liability is recorded)
Here, we debited the lease liability as it decrease the liability and we credited the cash as it decreased the asset
3. Interest expenses Dr, $2,694.95
To Lease liability $2,694.95
(Being interest expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and we credited the leased liability as it increased the liability
4. Amortization expenses Dr, $3,574.39 ($35,743.93 ÷ 10 )
To Right of use $3,574.39
(Being amortization expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the amortization expenses as it increase the expenses and we credited the right of use as it reduced the assets
Working Note
Interest expenses = (Lease liability - First lease payment) × Incremental borrowing rate
= ($35,743.93 - $5,800) × 9%
= $2,694.95
Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be
Answer:
The present value of the cash payment is $20
Explanation:
The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.
The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor
discount factor=1/(1+r)^n
where is the rate of time preference of 5%'
n is 1 i.e in one year's time
total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21
discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238
present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

Stiller Corporation incurred fixed manufacturing costs of $24,000 during 2015. Other information for 2015 includes: The budgeted denominator level is 2,000 units. Units produced total 1,500 units. Units sold total 1,200 units. Beginning inventory was zero. The company uses absorption costing and the fixed manufacturing cost rate is based on the budgeted denominator level. Manufacturing variances are closed to cost of goods sold. Operating income using absorption costing will be ________ than operating income if using variable costing.
Answer:
Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.
Explanation:
The difference between profit under variable costing and under absorption costing is simply the value of the change in inventory.
Usually, a decrease in inventory would cause profit under absorption costing to be lower . This is so because cost of goods sold would become higher leading to a lower profit . And vice versa
Difference in profit = POAR × change inventory
Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR)
= Estimated overhead/ estimated production unit
= $24,000/2,000 units = $12 per unit
Change in inventory = 1500 - 1200= 300 units
Difference in profit = 300 × $12 per unit = $3,600
Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.

Explanation:
Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.
A. $180,000
B. $50,000
C. $150,000
D. $90,000
E. $120,000
Answer:
$ 120,000
Explanation:
Formulas:
Cell Formula
B4 =NORMINV(RAND(),1500,100)
B5 =5+(6-5)*RAND()
B6 =RANDBETWEEN(12,16)
B8 =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4)
B12 =AVERAGE(F3:F1002)
Enter formula = B8 in cell E2
and =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) in E3 copy down to E1002 (this represents labor cost)
To create the data table, select range E2:F1002
click Data tab > What-If Analysis in Data Tools group > Data Table > In the resulting dialogue box, enter B6 in the Column Input cell, and B1 in the Row Input cell.
Estimated mean profit = $ 121,445 this is closest to $ 120,000
THE ANSWER IS $ 120,000
Due to historical differences, countries often differ in how quickly a change in actual inflation is incorporated into a change in expected inflation. In a country such as Japan, which has had very little inflation in recent memory, it will take longer for a change in the actual inflation rate to be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate. In contrast, in a country such as Zimbabwe, which has recently had very high inflation, a change in the actual inflation rate will immediately be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate.

What is the slope of Japan’s short-run Phillips curve?
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The slope of Japan’s short-run Phillips curve will be a flat downward slope because "it will take longer for a change in the actual inflation rate to be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate".
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Assume the economy of country C produces hotdogs and buns in the following quantities and prices in 2016 and 2017. Assume also that 2016 is the base year and the real GDP will be calculated using 2016 prices. What is the real GDP 2017? Hot Dogs Buns Quantity Price Quantity Price Year 2016 (base year) 6 million $2 4 million $1 Year 2017 8 million $3 6 million $2 a. $22 million. b. $26 million c. $16 million. d. $36 million.
Answer:
Option (a).
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Real GDP = Base Year Price × Current Year Quantity
Real GDP in 2016= $2 × 6 million + $1 × 4 million
= $12 million + $4 million = $16 million
Real GDP in 2017 = $2 × 8 million + $1 × 6 million
= $16 million + $6 million = $22 million
According to the analysis, the real GDP in 2017 is $22 million. So (a) option is correct.
Lidell Inc. budgeted production of 48,000 personal journals in 20Y6. Each journal requires assembly. Assume that three minutes are required to assemble each journal. If assembly labor costs $13 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for 20Y6. Do not round your intermediate calculations but, if required, round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
Direct labor cost= $31,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 48,000 units
Standard time= 3 minutes per unit
Rate= $13 per hour
First, we need to calculate the number of hours required:
The proportion of minuted per hour= 3/60= 0.05
Number of hours= 48,000*0.05= 2,400 hours
Now, the direct labor cost:
Direct labor cost= 2,400*13= $31,200
