Depreciation by Two Methods A storage tank acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year at a cost of $80,000 has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method. $ b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

a. Annual depreciation = $3,800

b. First year depreciation is $8,000' while second year depreciation is $7,200.

Explanation:

a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method.

Depreciable amount = $80,000 - $4,000 = $76,000

Annual depreciation = $76,000 / 20 = $3,800

b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / 20 = 0.05, or 5%

Double declining depreciation rate = 5% * 2 = 10%

First year depreciation = $80,000 * 10% = $8,000

Second year depreciation = ($80,000 - $8,000) * 10% = $7,200

Morrish Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,100 direct labor-hours will be required in January. The variable overhead rate is $1.80 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $102,950 per month, which includes depreciation of $19,880. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:

Answers

Answer:

$95,850

Explanation:

To calculate cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead:

Direct labor cost + Fixed manufacturing overhead

where,

direct labor cost = Direct labor hours × per labor rate

= $7,100 x $1.8 =

$12,780

Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - depreciation

102,950 - 19880 =

Direct labor cost + Fixed manufacturing overhead =

$83,070 + $12,780

= $95,850

The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850

Answer:

The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850

Explanation:

In order to calculate the the January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget we would have to use the following formula:

Total cash disbursement for overhead in January =Variable overhead+Cash portion of fixed manufacturing overhead

Variable overhead = 7,100 direct labor-hours × $1.80 = $12,780

Cash portion of fixed manufacturing overhead = $102,950 - $19,880 = $83,070

Therefore, Total cash disbursement for overhead in January = $12,780 + $83,070

Total cash disbursement for overhead in January =$95,850

The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850

Teall Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours (MHs). The company has provided the following data for the most recent month: Budgeted level of activity 9,000 MHs Actual level of activity 9,100 MHs Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate $ 6.20 per MH Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 55,000 Actual total variable manufacturing overhead $ 56,600 Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 59,500 What was the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

$4,500 U

Explanation:

Teall Corporation

Budget variance = Actual fixed overhead cost − Budgeted fixed overhead cost

Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 59,500

Less Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 55,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month $4,500 U

Therefore the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month is $4,500 U

Oldham Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $4.00 per machine-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $87,822 per period. If the denominator level of activity is 4,100 machine-hours, what would be the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate

Answers

Answer:

$21.42

Explanation:

The computation of fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-

Fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate = Fixed Overhead ÷ Machine Hours

= $87,822 ÷ 4,100

= $21.42

Therefore for computing the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the fixed overhead by machine hours.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity per unit of output 5.3 pounds

Standard price $14.10 per pound

Actual materials used in production 5,650 pounds

Actual output 790 units

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula.

Fixed expenses are $384,000 per month. The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month. The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $9 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their salaries of $46,000 per month. (This is the company's savings for the entire sales staff.) The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?

Answers

Answer:

A reduction of $12,500 in net operating income

Explanation:

The net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs.

The change in the company's net operating income is the net of the increased commission and the total decrease in salaries. The commission is a variable cost that is dependent on the total number of units sold.

Hence the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change

= $46,000 - ($9 * 6500)

= ($12,500)

The Baldwin Company currently has the following balances on their balance sheet: Total Assets $255,213 Total Liabilities $151,328 Retained Earnings $47,588 Suppose next year the Baldwin Company generates $44,200 in net profit, pays $12,000 in dividends, total assets increase by $55,000, and total liabilities remain unchanged. What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year? Select: 1 $79,097 $509,129 $381,753 $143,497

Answers

Answer:

$79,097

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

Hence in current year,

Total equity = $255,213 - $151,328

= $103,885

If retained earnings is $47,588 then common stock

= $103,885  - $47,588

= $56,297

Change to equity next year

= $55,000

Change to retained earnings

= $44,200 - $12,000

= $32,200

Hence change in common stock

= $55,000 - $32,200

= $22,800

Common stock balance

= $56,297  + $22,800

= $79,097

A consumer values a house at $525,000 and a producer values the same house at $485,000.

Answers

Answer:

c. ​$15,000 worth of buyer surplus and $25,000 of seller surplus 

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the different between the value a consumer places on a product and the price of the product.

Consumer surplus = value of the product - price of the product

$525,000 - $510,000 = $15,000

Producer surplus is the difference between the price and the least price the seller is willing to sell his product.

Producer surplus = price - least price the seller is willing to sell his product

$510,000 - $485,000 = $25,000

-$18,207

Explanation:

Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.

Net Present Value = Initial Investment + Present value of reduced Labor and other costs

Net Present value = -$180,000 + $46,000( 1 - ( 1 + 13% )^-5 / 13% )

Net Present value = -$180,000 +  161,793

When China reformed state-owned enterprises, it tried a new approach to choosing managers: it put managerial jobs up for auction. The bids for the jobs consisted of promises of future profit streams that the managers would generate and then deliver to the state. In cases where the incumbent manager was the winning bidder, firm productivity tended to increase dramatically. When outside bidders won, there was little productivity improvement. If incumbent managers were not generally more qualified, how can you explain this result?

Answers

Answer: The explanation is provided below

Explanation:

An outsider tend to overbid with a eye to get the job while, an insider manager bids a realistic performance that is achievable. An insider manager understands the factors which affect the organization's performance and then tries to take control of the factors.

People make or break organizations and there is a greater chance of the insider getting the support and cooperation of the employees in comparision to outside bidders. Also, an insider manager has a prospective that is long term with regard to his or her association with the enterprise while an outsider may come and then realize that he doesn't like the organization and then leave for a better enterprise.

Therefore internal managers are a better prospect of being given the responsibility to manage the enterprise.

Answer:

Explanation:

A stranger tends to bid excessively  to get the job. In contrast, the internal manager offers realistic, achievable performance. The internal manager understands the factors that influence the organization's performance and tries to take control of it. There is a greater chance that an insider will get employee support and cooperation than strangers . Insider manager has been in the organisation for and already know the rules that guide the company, The Dos ans Donts.. A stranger have lilttle or no knowledge about how the company is run and  can choose to stay or  he will go to a better company. Therefore, internal managers are in good position for   taking responsibility for running the welfare and activites of a company.

Calculate the breakeven point in units for beds and mattresses. (40 points)

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $48

Unitary variable cost= $6

Total fixed costs= $16,000

A)

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (48 - 6)

Break-even point in units= 381 units

B) Selling price= $49.95 a bedpoints

Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (49.95 - 6)

Break-even point in units= 364 units

C) Unitary variable cost= 6 - 3= 3

Break-even point in units= 16,000 / (48 - 3)

Break-even point in units= 356 units

D) Matresses= 1

Beds= 1

Proportions of sales:

Matreses= 0.5

Beds= 0.5

Selling price per matress= $9

Unitary variable cost= $5

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.5*9 + 0.5*48) - (0.5*5 + 0.5*6)

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= $23

Break-even point (units)= 16,000/23

Break-even point (units)= 696 units

(1) Warranty Expense -
(2) Estimated Liability from Warranties -
(3) Premium Expense -
(4) Inventory of Premium CD Players -
(5) Estimated Premium Claims Outstanding -

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Given:

Warranty exp = 2% of musical instrument & sound equipment

Calculation:

Warranty exp = Warranty exp * 5,424,000

Warranty exp = 2% * 5,424,000

Warranty exp = 108,480

(b)

Warranty liability as on December 2017 = Opening Balance + Warranty Expense - Warranty Claim

Warranty liability as on December 2017 = 138,000 + 108,480 - 156,400

Warranty liability as on December 2017 = $90,080

(c)

The customer receives one coupon for each dollar spend 2,138,000 only 50% coupon will be redeemed.

Exp provision liability created = 50% * 2,138,000

Exp provision liability created = 1,069,000

Inventory Premium = Opening Balance + Purchases - Utilized Redeemed Coupon

Inventory Premium = 39,210 + (7,010 * 42) - 238,980

Inventory Premium = 39,210 + 294,420 - 238,980

Inventory Premium = $94,650

(e)

Premium liability balance = Opening Balance + Premium Exp Provision - Coupon Redeemed

Premium liability balance = 41,670 + 64,140 - (1,138,000 * 0.06)

Premium liability balance = 41,670 + 64,140 - 68,280

The Donut Stop acquired equipment for $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation and estimates a residual value of $2,000 and a four-year service life. At the end of the second year, the company estimates that the equipment will be useful for four additional years, for a total service life of six years rather than the original four. At the same time, the company also changed the estimated residual value to $1,000 from the original estimate of $2,000. Calculate how much The Donut Stop should record each year for depreciation in years 3 to 6.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Equipment: $10,000

Less Accumulated Depreciation ($10,000 - $2,000 / 4*2):   $4,000

= Book Value (End of Year 2):     $6,000

Less New Residual Value:       $-1,000

= New Depreciated Cost: $5,000

Remaining Service Life:  4

Annual Depreciation in Years 3 to 6 ($5,000 / 4):  $1,250

For the cost and price functions below, find



a. the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit



b. the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit



c. the maximum profit, P.



C(q) = 70 + 17q



p = 77 - 2q

Answers

Answer:

a) The number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15

b) The price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not giben in the question)

c) Maximum Profit = P = 380 (currency not given in the question).

Explanation:

The cost function and price per unit function are given respectively as

C(q) = 70 + 17q

p = 77 - 2q

where q = quantity or number of units

a.) the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit

Total cost = C(q) = 70 + 17q

Revenue = (price per unit) × (Number of units) = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q = (77q - 2q²)

Profits = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)

P(q) = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)

P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

To maximize the profits, we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.

At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0

Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

(dP/dq) = -4q + 60

At maximum point,

(dP/dq) = -4q + 60 = 0

q = (60/4) = 15

(d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that the this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)

Hence, the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15.

b.) the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit

The price per unit is given as

p = 77 - 2q

Maximum profit occurs at q = 15

p = 77 - (2×15) = 47

Hence, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not given in the question)

c.) the maximum profit, P.

The Profit function is given as

Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

At maximum Profit, q = 15

Maximum Profit = P(15)

= -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70

= 380 (currency not given in the question).

Hope this Helps!!!

A) The number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15

B) The price, p, per unit that creates maximum profit is = 47

C) Maximum Profit is = P = 380

What is the cost and price function?

When The cost procedure and price per unit procedure are presented respectively as:

C(q) is = 70 + 17q

p is = 77 - 2q

where that q is = quantity or number of units

a.) When the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit

The Total cost is = C(q) = 70 + 17q

When the Revenue is = (price per unit) × (Number of units) that is = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q is = (77q - 2q²)

After that Profits is = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)

Then P(q) is = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)

Now, P(q) is = -2q² + 60q - 70

When To maximize the profits, Then we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.

When At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) is = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0

Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60

Then At maximum point are:

(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60 = 0

After that, q = (60/4) = 15

Then (d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)

Therefore, the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15.

b.) When the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit

The price per unit is given as

p is = 77 - 2q

Then Maximum profit occurs at q is = 15

p is = 77 - (2×15) = 47

Therefore, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit is = 47 (currency not provided in the question)

c.) When the maximum profit, P.

The Profit function is given as

Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

Then At maximum Profit, q = 15

So, The Maximum Profit is = P(15)

Then = -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70

Therefore, = 380 (currency not given in the question).

Offenbach & Son has just made its sales forecasts and its marketing department estimates that the company will sell 232,200 units during the coming year. In the past, management has maintained inventories of finished goods at approximately one month’s sales. The inventory at the start of the budget period is 15,600 units. Sales occur evenly throughout the year. Required: Estimate the production level required for the coming year to meet these objectives.

Answers

Answer:

Production= 235,950 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 232,200 units during the coming year.

Desired ending inventory= one month's sales

Beginning inventory= 15,600 units.

First, we need to calculate the desired ending inventory:

Desired ending inventory= 232,200/12= 19,350

Now, we can determine the production for the year:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 232,200 + 19,350 - 15,600

Production= 235,950 units

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

On Jan 1

Cash $400,000

           To Bonds payable  $400,000

(Being the bond is issued for cash)

For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the bond payable is credited

On July 1

Interest expense  $14,000

             To Cash  $14,000

(Being the payment of interest is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= $400,000 × 7% × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $14,000

For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it decreased the assets so the cash is credited

On Dec 31

Interest expense $14,000

           To Interest payable $14,000

(Being the accrual of interest is recorded)

For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the interest payable is credited
