Answer: is this a real question ???
Explanation:
Manufacturing activities consist of materials, production, and sales activities. The materials activity consists of the purchase and issuance of materials to production. The production activity consists of converting materials into finished goods. At this stage in the process, the materials, labor, and overhead costs have been incurred and the schedule of cost of goods manufactured is prepared. The sales activity consists of selling some or all of finished goods available for sale. At this stage, the cost of goods sold is determined.
From the list below, select the items that are classified as a materials activity.
a. Raw materials used
b. Raw materials beginning inventory

Explanation:
Note: The materials activity consists of the purchase and issuance of materials to production
Thus, the items that are classified as a materials activity are :Raw materials used, Raw materials beginning inventory and Raw materials purchases
An Argentinian economist pointed out that the inflation rate based on the PCE(personal consumption expenditures) deflator was higher than the inflation rate you calculated in part (b) based on the GDP deflator. Provide two possible explanations for this difference between the inflation rates calculated from the PCE deflatorversus the GDP deflator.
Answer:
Note: The complete question is attached as picture below
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP
2019 100 100
2020 105 99
a) %change in nominal GDP = [(105 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 5%
%change in real GDP = [(99 - 100) / 100] * 100 = -1%
b) GDP deflator is = [Nominal GDP / Real GDP]. %change in GDP deflator = [(106.06 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 6.06%
c) Inflation calculated from GDP deflator and PCE is different because
- GDP deflator does not includes price increase of imported goods while PCE does.
- PCE measures change in price of goods which are generally consumed by consumers while GDP deflator includes all goods produced in an economy.
Tirri Corporation has provided the following information: Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 7.50 Direct labor $ 3.85 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.55 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 24,400 Sales commissions $ 1.05 Variable administrative expense $ 0.60 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 8,800 If the selling price is $28.10 per unit, the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:
Answer:
$13.55
Explanation:
The contribution margin per unit is computed as;
= Selling price - (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commission + Variable administrative expense)
= $28.10 - ($7.50 + $3.85 + $1.55 + $1.05 + $0.60)
= $28.10 - $14.55
= $13.55
Therefore , the contribution margin per unit is $13.55

Budget Actual Variance Status
Food $ 364 $331 $33 Surplus
Clothing 164 161 3 Surplus
Transportation 408 416 -8 Deficit
Personal expenses and recreation 307 259 48 Surplus
Housing 994 1,046 -52 Deficit
Total $2,237 $2,213 $24 Surplus
b) The difference between the estimated budget cost and the actual cost spent on each item gives rise to either surplus or deficit. This surplus or deficit is described as the variance. It is surplus when the budgeted cost is greater than the actual cost spent. It is deficit when the budgeted cost is less than the actual cost spent.
Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Answer: $16,613
Explanation:
As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.
The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate
= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%
= $19,738
This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.
= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²
= $16,613
Suppose the United States is currently producing 100tons of hamburgers and 45tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 20tons of hamburgers and 25tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of nothingadditional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer)
Answer: 50 additional tons of hamburgers
Explanation:
United States opportunity costs:
Hamburger opportunity cost = 45/100 = 0.45 tons of tacos
Taco opportunity cost = 100/45 = 2.22 tones of hamburgers
Mexico opportunity cost:
Hamburger opportunity cost = 25/20 = 1.25 tons of tacos
Taco opportunity cost = 20/25 = 0.8 tones of hamburgers
US should specialize in Hamburger production because they have a lower opportunity cost.
If both countries combined production of hamburgers then the total would be:
= 100 + 20
= 120 tons of hamburgers
There is missing information on this question which is the US production of hamburgers when it produces 0 tacos. We shall assume that number to be 170 tons of hamburgers.
The total additional tons produced would be:
= US tons when producing only hamburgers - Combined hamburger production
= 170 - 120
= 50 additional tons of hamburgers

Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result, they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?
Answer:
It will decrease prior service cost and, as prior service cost is amortized, will decrease pension expense.
Explanation:
In the given if there is any change in the projected benefit obligation so the pension expense would impact in the present and future period by reducing the service cost that incurred before also the service cost that incurred before would be amortized that ultimately reduce the pension expense
Therefore the first option is correct
Emilio’s accountant told him that if he continues to pay $50 a month on his credit card, it will take him 42 years to pay off his current balance (assuming the interest rate doesn’t change and assuming he doesn’t charge anything else on that card). His credit card interest rate is 18.99%. What is his balance?
Answer:
$3,158.40
Explanation:
The current balance on his credit card is the present value of $50 payable per month over 42-year period as shown below:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV=the unknown
montly paymet=$50
r=monthly interest rate= 18.99%/12=0.015825
n=number of monthly payments=42*12=504
PV=$50*(1-(1+0.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-(1.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-0.000365827)/0.015825
PV=$50*0.999634173/0.015825
PV=$3,158.40

A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______
a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.
Answer:
a. $10,003.
Explanation:
The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.
Calculate total invoice value
Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550
As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed
Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187
Now the Amount paid
Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003
You have decided to invest $15,000 in a money market fund that pays you interest at the annual rate of 6% and compounds interests monthly. Your plan is to take out your money in a year and pay taxes on the interest earned. If the corresponding tax rate is 20%, how much money in total will you expect to receive in a year after paying taxes.
Answer:
$15,869.66
Explanation:
The formula for determining the future value of the amount invested is :
FV = PV x (1 + r / m)^mn
FV = Future value
PV = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
m = number of compounding
$15,000 x (1+ 0.06/12)^12 = $15,925.17
Interest earned = future value - present value
$15,925.17 - $15,000 = $925.17
Tax paid on interest earned = 0.06 x $925.17 = $55.51
Interest after taxes = $925.17 - $55.51 = $869.66
Total amount expected = $15,000 + $869.66 = $15,869.66
Suppose that a task in a project has the following time estimates: to optimistic completion time 11 weeks tm most likely completion time 14 weeks tp pessimistic completion time 23 weeks Compute the expected task variance. The task expected task variance is weeks. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
6 weeks
Explanation:
Optimistic Completion Time - 11 weeks
Most likely completion time - 14 weeks
Pessimistic completion time - 23 weeks
Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.
Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.
First,
the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks
Second,
the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks
The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2 = 6 weeks
So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.

5 $200,000 $228,836.80 $28,837.00 $2,000,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
10% Bonds' maturity value = $2,000,000
Bonds sales value = $1,855,816
Total discount = $144,184
Annual Interest = $200,000 ($2,000,000 * 10%)
Maturity period = 5 years (January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025)
Annual amortization of discount = $28,836.80 ($144,184/5)
Total interest cost with amortized discount each year = $228,836.80
b) Under the straight line method, the premium or discount on the bond is amortized in equal amounts over the life of the bond, as demonstrated above.
Based on the information given, it should be noted that the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.
Interest expenseFrom the information given, the following can be calculated:
Discount on issue = $2000000 - $1855816 = $144184
Discount to be amortized on each interest date = $144184 / 5 = $28836.80
Cash interest annual = $2000000 * 10% = $200000
Therefore, the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses from 2020 to 2025 will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

The CFO of Stephenson Company has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and report to him by week's end.
What should be the amount of direct materials used?
a. $208,400
b. $405,500
c. $440,800
d. $201,500
Answer:
Direct material used= $183,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct Materials Purchased 171,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000
Direct material used= $183,000
Prove:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000
cost of goods manufactured= $340,000
On January 1, 2020, Marigold Corp. purchased a machine costing $355000. The machine is in the MACRS 5-year recovery class for tax purposes and has an estimated $74000 salvage value at the end of its economic life. It's based on half year convention. Assuming the company uses the general MACRS approach, the amount of MACRS deduction for tax purposes for the year 2020 is
Answer:
$71,000
Explanation:
Note: The MARCS Table is attached below
Depreciation for 2020 = Cost*Rate%
Depreciation for 2020 = $355000*20%
Depreciation for 2020 = $71,000.
Note: MACRS depreciation disregards the salvage value and depreciates the asset to zero over the life of the asset.
Marge owns land and a building (held for investment) with an adjusted basis of $75,000 and a fair market value of $250,000. The property is subject to a mortgage of $400,000. Because Marge is in arrears on the mortgage payments, the creditor is willing to accept the property in return for canceling the amount of the mortgage.
a. How can the adjusted basis of the property be less than the amount of the mortgage?
b. If the creditor's offer is accepted, what are the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for Marge?
c. Does it matter in (b) if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse?
Answer:
A. The amount deducted for Depreciation may be higher than the amortized amount of the mortgage principal.

Bi $400,000
ii. $75,000
iii. $325,000
C.No
Explanation:
a. The adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage due to the fact that in the beginning of an asset life the amount that was deducted for Depreciation may be more higher than the amortized amount of the mortgage principal .
Secondly the adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage when their is Decrease in the value of the property after they granted the mortgage .
Lastly the adjusted basis of the property can be tend to be lesser than the amount of the mortgage when the fair market value of Property are been given instead of the Adjusted basis of the property.
b. Calculation for the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for
i. Based on the information given the amount that was realized will be the amount of $400,000
ii. Based on the information given the Adjusted basis will be the amount of $75,000
iii. Realized gain=$400,000 − $75,000
Realized gain= $325,000
c.No it don't not matter if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse since the amount that was realized was the amount of $400,000 and
to justify the nonrecourse mortgage is that the taxpayer has already enjoy some benefit when the mortgage was acquired due to the increase in Adjusted basis of the property.
Melissa is an unmarried person who earns a salary of $54,000 per year and has $500 of interest income. Her itemized deductions total $2,500. She is able to use a non-refundable credit of $400. She has $5,000 of federal income taxes withheld from her wages. What is the amount of Melissa's REFUND OR TAX DUE FOR 2020
Answer:
$6150
Explanation:
These are the details of Melissa's income
Salary = $54000
Interest income = 500
Itemized deductions = $ 2500
Non refundable credit = $400
Withheld federal income tax = $5000
We have to calculate the amount of her tax return for year 2020
Taxable income = 54000+500-2500
= $52500
Tax rate 22%
Tax on taxable income = 52500x0.22
= 11550
Minus non refundable credit = 11550-400
Minus federal tax withheld = 11550-400-5000
= $6150
3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest
Answer:
$2,810,467
Explanation:
we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies
first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286
then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value
PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.
Answer:
C. 60%
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00
Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00
Units started and completed = 6,500.00
Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).
Let % Completion be x
X% of 1500 = 900
X = 900*100/1500
X = 60%.

Derek will deposit $9,359.00 per year for 18.00 years into an account that earns 4.00%, The first deposit is made next year. He has $18,418.00 in his account today. How much will be in the account 49.00 years from today
Answer:
FV= $904,322.05
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit= 9,359
n= 18
i= 0.04
FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04
FV= $240,015.42
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)
FV= $38,803.95
Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37
Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:
FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)
FV= $904,322.05
