Answer: D. an understatement of expenses and an overstatement of owners' equity
Explanation:
If a purchase of merchandise was not recorded, it would mean that Purchases being an expense that contributes to the Cost of Goods sold would be understated.
This understatement would mean that the the Net income is overstated because the purchase expenses were never deducted from it. Net Income is part of owners' equity so if it is overstated, so is owners' equity .
Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which advisor was the better stock picker?
Answer:
Advisor A
Explanation:
t bill rate = 0.05
market rate = 0.13
the beta of the market is always 1
the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1
= 0.13
which is 13%
this is for advisor A.
with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta
0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5
= 27.5% for advisor b
when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2
0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2
= 17%
Therefore advisor a is better

At the beginning of June, Bezco Toy Company budgeted 5,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows: Direct materials $50,000 Direct labor 36,000 Total $86,000 The standard materials price is $4.00 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $18.00 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows: Actual direct materials $49,600 Actual direct labor 34,020 Total $83,620There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 4,850 units during June.Required:Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity:
Direct materials (pounds)= 50,000/4= 12,500 pounds
Direct materials (pounds)= 12,500/5,000= 2.5 pounds per unit
Direct labor (hours)= 36,000/18= 2,000 hours
Direct labor (hours)= 2,000/5,000= 0.4 hours
Actual quantity:
Actual direct materials= (49,600/4)= 9,920 pounds
Actual direct labor= 34,020/18= 1,890 hours
Production= 4,850
To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 2.5*4,850= 12,125
Direct material quantity variance= (12,125 - 9,920)*4
Direct material quantity variance= $8,820 favorable
To calculate the direct labor time variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 0.4*4,850= 1,940
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,940 - 1,890)*18
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $900 favorable

Answer and Explanation:
The statement of cash flow involves 3 kinds of activities mentioned below:
1. Operating activities: Many transactions are based that affect the working capital following net income. It would increase the growth in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities, whereas adding the decrease in current properties and an increase in current liabilities.
This should mitigate any work capital shifts. Furthermore, the cost of depreciation is attributed to the net income and the loss on the sale of assets is attributed while the benefit on the sale of assets is deducted
2. Investing: it monitors activities involving the acquisition and selling of long-term assets. The purchase is cash outflow while the selling is cash inflow
3. Financing activities: it monitors activities that impact on the shareholders' long-term debt and equity balance. Share issue is cash inflow whereas cash outflows are redemption and dividend.
Therefore based on the above explanation, the classification is as follows
1 Financing Activity
2. Operating activity

Just in time can be understood as a strategic system that fundamentally seeks to achieve continuous improvement of processes by reducing costs and waste.
Its principles are total quality management, respect for people and just in time manufacturing.
In this strategy, the focus is that all activities must be carried out at the exact time, that is, eliminating any waste such as raw material, stock, production, etc., which eliminates costs and reduces failures, increasing all processes organizational changes that guarantee an increase in total quality.
The principle of respect for people is also given by the flexibility that this system gives to employees, by the management of total quality that gives a more dynamic work that guarantees the greatest engagement of employees.
In a transport company, the Just in time system would be effective if it were integrated into all operational areas of the company, involving all work hierarchies.
It would also be essential to have changes in internal policies to ensure that processes are improved in order to eliminate waste, which would require adequate training of employees, the implementation of control technologies, the adoption of a more effective and faster value chain , etc., in order to eliminate waste and increase total quality.

The term being described is known as work specialization. This term, also known as division of labor, is mainly used by companies in order to divide a large job position into smaller, single tasks that can be completed by one individual. The individual that is given such a task is trained thoroughly in order for them to become a specialist in that task and output more precise workloads.
Eliminating the queue of work dramatically quickens the time it takes apart to flow through the system. What are the disadvantages of removing those queues?
Answer:
quality may sufferexcess output mayExplanation:
Note that quality does not necessarily come quickly, and so even though eliminating the queue of work dramatically quickens the time it takes apart to flow through the system, it may result in excess output and poor quality.
Take for a stadium that has no entrance way (or doors) that is hosting an event, evidently it is less likely there will be a queue, as everyone would be rushing in quickly, but with possible consequences of overpopulation etc.

An investor has a 25% chance of making $1000 if the stock market is good, and a 50% chance of making $600 if the market is average. The investor expects to lose $800 if the market is bad. The expected monetary value is:
Answer: $350
Explanation:
The expected monetary value is the weighted average of the outcomes.
25% - Stock Market is good
50% - Stock Market is average
25% - Stock market is bad
Expected Monetary Value = ( 0.25 * 1,000) + (0.5* 600) + ( 0.25 * -800)
= 250 + 300 - 200
= $350
Mangum Co. is a large company that segments its business into cost and profit centers. The Cost center for the manufacture of Product M2T incurred the following costs in October:
Direct Labor: $25/unit
Direct Materials: $80/unit
Variable Overhead: $15/unit
Traceable Fixed Costs: $62,000
Common Fixed Costs: $100,000
Sales were 2,000 units in October. Each unit sells for $210. The M2T Department is being evaluated on overall profitability. In September, the department margin was $100,000. By how much did the department margin increase or decrease in October?
a. $100,000 decrease
b. $118,000 increase
c. $18,000 increase
d. $82,000 decrease
Answer: c. $18,000 increase
Explanation:
Department margin was $100,000 in September.
October Margin = Sales - Variable Costs - Traceable Fixed Costs
= (2,000 *( 210 - 25 - 80 - 15) ) - 62,000
= (2,000 * 90) - 62,000
= $118,000
= October Margin - September Margin
= 118,000 - 100,000
= $18,000 increase
After the initial offering, the bonds are trading in the secondary market at 105, while the stock is trading at $10. Which statements are TRUE?
Answer:
B I and IV
Explanation:
Each bond could be transformed into common stock at $10.50 par value. So the bond should be equivalent to the 95 shares that comes from
= $1,000 ÷ $10.50 per share
= 95 shares
Currently price of the bond is $1,050
Now each share price is
= $1,050 ÷ 95 shares
= $11.05
As the common stock is traded at $10 that represents the stock is less than parity and therefore there is no means to transform the shares
hence, B option is correct
On July 1, 20X1, James and Short formed a partnership. James contributed cash. Short, previously a sole proprietor, contributed property other than cash, including realty subject to a mortgage, which the partnership assumed. Short’s capital account on July 1, 20X1, should be recorded at
Answer:
James and Short LLC
Short's capital account on July 1, 20X1 should be recorded at the fair value of contributed property minus the mortgage liability, which the partnership assumed.
Explanation:
The fair value of contributed property is the current market value of the contributed property by Short. It is the market value that will determine how the contributed property can be valued. The market value assumes that the contributed property is being sold in pieces and not as a whole. This is why the value is considered a fair basis for recognizing the capital contribution of Short into the partnership.
The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 2200 units, the actual direct labor cost was $65600 for 4100 direct labor hours worked, the total direct labor variance is
Answer:
400 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of total direct labor variance is presented below:-
Total direct labor variance = (Standard rate - Standard hours) × (Actual rate - Actual hours)
= ($15 × (2 × 2,200)) - $65,600
= ($15 × 4,400) - $65,600
= $66,000 - $65,600
= 400 favorable
Therefore for determining the total direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula.

Answer:
5. 11.1%
Explanation:
the options for this question are missing:
5%7.8%10%10.5%11.1%I prepared the following equation:
$100,000 = $45,000(1 + i)³ + x(1 + i)⁵
There is something that we must remember about zero coupon bonds, and that is that they are sold in thousands. This equation is complex, but there is an easier way to solve it. We can plug in the options to determine which % will result in a possible answer.
The answer is 11.1%, since the other options resulted in numbers which are not even close to a thousand.
$100,000 = $45,000(1.111)³ + x(1.111)⁵
$100,000 = $61,709.88 + 1.2763x
$38,290.12 = 1.2763x
x = $38,290.12 / 1.2763 = $30,000

What is the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity?
A. $1,000
B. $866
C. $500
D. $200
Answer:
b. $866
Explanation:
Annual demand from the question = D = $500
the ordering cost = S = $200
then the cost of carrying H = $15
we have to calculate the economic order quantity
= sqr(2*D*S)/H
= sqr(2 x 500 x 200)/25
= sqr(13333.3333)
this equals 115.469
which is approximately 115.5
next we have to calculate inventory ordering cost
= (D * S)/EOQ
= 200 *500/115.5
= 865.5
When approximated becomes $866
The inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.

Where:
D=Annual demand=$500
S=Ordering cost=$200
H=Holding cost =$15
Let plug in the formula
Economic order quantity =(2 x 500 x 200)/15
Economic order quantity =√200,000/15
Economic order quantity =√13333.3333
Economic order quantity =115.46
Economic order quantity = 115.5 (Approximately)
Second step is to calculate the inventory ordering cost using this formula
Inventory ordering cost= (Annual demand× Ordering cost )/Economic order quantity
Let plug in the formula
Inventory ordering cost= (200×500)/115.5
Inventory ordering cost=100,000/115.5
Inventory ordering cost=$865.8
Inventory ordering cost=$866 (Approximately)
Inconclusion the inventory ordering cost using the economic order quantity is: B. $866.

g Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?
Answer:
$360,000
Explanation:
The total cost would be estimated as the expense anticipated plus the property taxes paid previously.
Now
Total Cost = $240,000 Property Taxes paid + $1,200,000 Property repairs anticipated
= $1,440,000
Now we will distribute the annual cost over the four quarters which mean we will divide the total annual cost by 4.
Quarterly Expenses = $1,440,000 / 4 = $360,000

Gretta's portfolio consists of $700,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 1.2 and $300,000 invested in a stock that has a beta of 0.8. The risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. The required return on the market is 10%.
b. The portfolio's required return is less than 11%.
c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
d. If the market risk premium remains unchanged but expected inflation increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
e. If the stock market is efficient, Gretta's portfolio's expected return should equal.
Answer: c. If the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
Explanation:
To prove the above option, the Capital Asset Pricing Model can be used.
Required Return = Risk free rate + portfolio beta(market premium)
Portfolio Beta
This the weighted average of the individual betas.
Total portfolio value = 700,000 + 300,000 = $1,000,000
= ( 1.2 * 700,000/1,000,000) + ( 0.8 * 300,000/1,000,000)
= 0.84 + 0.24
= 1.08
Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5%)
= 6% + 5.4%
= 11.4%
Assuming risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%.
Required return = 6% + 1.08 ( 5% + 2%)
= 6% + 7.56%
= 13.56%
The change in required return
= (13.56% - 11.4%)/11.4%
= 18.9%
Proving that if the risk-free rate remains unchanged but the market risk premium increases by 2%, Gretta's portfolio's required return will increase by more than 2%.
TB MC Qu. 9-371 Irving Corporation makes a product with ... Irving Corporation makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.2 hours $ 15.00 per hour $ 3.00 Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour $ 1.02 In November the company's budgeted production was 5,400 units, but the actual production was 5,200 units. The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour
The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 7,802/1,660= $4.7
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.1 - 4.7)*1,660
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable
On July 1, Year 1, Yellow Rose Corp. paid $25,000 cash for a machine and paid an additional 8% sales tax. On the same date, an electrician was paid $1,000 to install custom switches to enhance the functionality of the machine. Yellow Rose estimates a five-year useful life, uses straight-line depreciation, and expects a $2,000 salvage value. The machine was placed in service on October 1, Year 1. Yellow Rose has a calendar year-end.On December 31, Year 2, the machine was sold for $14,000 cash. Depreciation expense for Year 2 was properly recorded.Use the data above to prepare each of the journal entries for Yellow Rose specified below.1. Prepare the journal entry to record the cost of the machine.2. Prepare the journal entry to record the Year 1 depreciation for the machine.3. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the machine.
Answer:
Journal entries are given below
Explanation:
July 1, Year 1 (Yellow Rose Corp. purchased a machine)
DEBIT CREDIT
Machine $28,000
Cash $28,000
Working
Cost of machine = Purchase price + Sales tax + Installation
Cost of machine = $25,000 + $2,000 + $1,000
Cost of machine = $28,000
Depreciation for year 1 (October to December)
DEBIT CREDIT
Depreciation Expenses $1,300
Accumulated Depreciation $1,300
Working
Annual Depreciation expense = (Cost - salvage value) / useful life
Annual Depreciation expense = (28000 - 2000) / 5 = $5,200
Depreciation for 3 months
Depreciation = $5,200 x 3/12
Depreciation = $1300
Sale of the machine
DEBIT CREDIT
Cash $14,000
Loss on Sale $7,500
Accumulated Depreciation $6,500
Machinery $28,000
Workng
Gain/Loss on sale = Sale proceed - carrying value
Gain/Loss on sale = 14,000 - 21,500
Loss on sale = $7,500
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Carrying value = 28,000 - 6500 = 21500
Accumulated depreciation = $1,300 + $5,200 = $6,500
