Answer:
Harcourt Manufacturing (HM)
1. Based on this information (ignore qualitative characteristics) :________.
a. HM should reject the offer because accepting it will reduce profitability by $2,000.
2. A company should accept a special order if: _______.
a. additional revenue is greater than relevant costs.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production capacity for fax machines per year = 10,000
Current production units per year = 7,000
Excess capacity = 3,000 (10,000 - 7,000)
Rental fee for excess capacity = $12,000
Selling price of the fax machine per unit = $100
Unit-level costs:
Direct labor = $15
Direct materials = $40
Total cost per unit = $55
Special order = 2,000 units
Product-level costs= $50,000
Facility-level costs = $65,000
Total revenue from special order = $120,000 (2,000 * $60)
Total variable cost for special order = 110,000 (2,000 * $55)
Contribution margin from special order $10,000 (2,000 * $5)
Comparison with Rental fee $12,000 and $10,000
On January 1, a company issued and sold a $320,000, 5%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $315,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is:
Answer:
$315,250
Explanation:
total discount on bonds payable = $320,000 - $315,000 = $5,000
amortization of bond discount per coupon payment = $5,000 / 20 = $250
bonds carrying value after the first coupon payment is made = $315,000 + $250 = $315,250
Dr Interest expense 8,250
Cr Cash 8,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 250
The Postal Service is negotiating a new three-year agreement with two of its unions. One represents the clerks and one the mail carriers. The USPS negotiators are in two separate teams, one negotiating with each of the two unions. The two unions are not affiliated or legally tied to each other in any way, but they do talk informally. After both negotiations have concluded, the USPS management negotiators discovered that the clerk union and the carrier union were sharing information about what they were getting from management. For example, at the time that the clerk union was seeking to have management pay 50% of health insurance, the carrier union quietly told the clerk union that management had tentatively agreed to pay 55% for the carriers. Knowing this, the clerks decided to raise the demand to 55%, and were ultimately successful. The USPS is now considering a lawsuit or filing an Unfair Labor Practice for the unions sharing this information during the conduct of active negotiations, and voiding the 55% coverage of health care insurance that had been agreed to for the clerk union, arguing that it was negotiated based on illegally obtained information. Which of the following is most correct?
A. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management does not have any recourse to recover damages nor to win an Unfair Labor Practice.
B. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management cannot fire an Unfair Labor Practice. USPS can successfully sue both unions for damages related to the 55% paid for health care insurance for clerks.
C. This is an example of a lock-in agreement between the two unions and is prohibited by the NLRB.
D. All of the above are correct.
Answer: A. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management does not have any recourse to recover damages nor to win an Unfair Labor Practice.
Explanation:
An unfair labor practice simply occurs when the National Labor Relations Act is being violated. Some if the unfair labor practice include when a worker is threatened when he or she files a ULP charge. Also, the refusal to negotiate with an agency in good faith etc.
In the scenario in the question, we should note that the actions of the clerk and the carrier unions are not prohibited, and then the management does not have any recourse to recover damages nor to win an Unfair Labor Practice.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
For its fleet of trucks, Overland Transport, Inc., purchased 580 tires rated at 50 pounds each. The tires had a retail price of $85 each. The sales tax is 4.5%, and the federal excise tax is $0.15 per pound. What are the amount of sales tax per tire and the total sales tax
Answer:
The amount of sales tax per tire = $3.825
The total sales tax = $2,218.50.
Explanation:
These can be be calculated as follows:
Sales tax per tire = Retail price per tire * Sales tax rate = $85 * 4.5% = $3.825
Total sales tax = Number of tire purchased * Sales tax per tire = 580 * $3.825 = $2,218.50
Therefore, the amount of sales tax per tire is $3.825 and the total sales tax is $2,218.50.
Synergy Corp. manufactures LED light bulbs. It applies manufacturing overhead to production on the basis of direct labor hours. A predetermined overhead application rate of $15 per direct labor hour was used for the current fiscal year. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred by Synergy during the year amounted to $100,000 against 9,100 hours, which was the expected number of direct labor hours to be used during the year. Calculate the amount of over- or underapplied overhead during the year.
Answer:
Under applied overhead of $36,500
Explanation:
With regards to the above , the over or under applied overhead is computed as;
Budgeted overhead = Predetermined overhead application rate per direct labor hour × Expected number of direct labor hours to be used
= $15 × 9,100
= $136,500
Actual manufacturing overhead incurred = $100,000
Budgeted overhead - Actual overhead incurred
= $136,500 - $100,000
= $36,500
The above is under applied over head because what was budgeted is less that what was actually incurred.
Gray Corp. employees work 2 hours on each of the 200 units that they produce and are paid $8 per hour. The standards for Gray Corp. indicate that employees should be paid $7 per hour and should spend 1.75 hours working on each unit. What is the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $400 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Standard= $7 per hour and should spend 1.75 hours working on each unit.
Actual= 2 hours
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (200*1.75 - 200*2)*8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $400 unfavorable

As the full-time bookkeeper, your job is to make any corrections to the general ledger accounts. Each correction needs the reason for the change and the effect on each account, whether it is an increase or decrease. For the third time this month, a co-worker has recorded a cash receipt twice and wants you to record a correcting entry that will reverse the mistakes. The correcting entry will record a credit to the Cash account and a debit to the Sales account. Your co-worker has offered to buy you dinner for fixing this mistake.
Required:
What should you investigate before making a decision about the correcting entry?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given, we are informed that the co-worker has recorded a cash receipt twice and wants the full time bookkeeper to record a correcting entry that will reverse the mistakes.
Before making a decision about the correcting entry, it is necessary to check the entry and cross check the balances for sales and cash. One has to also check the receipts and every other necessary details in order to make sure that the transaction is genuine and not fraudulent.

A new machine costing $1,800,000 cash and estimated to have a $60,000 salvage value was purchased on January 1. The machine is expected to produce 600,000 units of product during its 8-year useful life. Calculate the depreciation expense in the first year under the following independent situations: The company uses the units-of-production method and the machine produces 70,000 units of product during its first year. The company uses the double-declining-balance method. The company uses the straight-line method.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Purchase price= $1,800,000
Salvage value= $60,000
Useful life= 8 years or 600,000 units
To calculate the annual depreciation using the units-of-production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(1,800,000 - 60,000) / 600,000]*70,000
Annual depreciation= $203,000
To calculate the annual depreciation using the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(1,800,000 - 60,000) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $435,000
Finally, the annual depreciation using the straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (1,800,000 - 60,000) / 8
Annual depreciation= $217,500

Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $13,502,000 with 157,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $8,179,100, and the actual machine hours are 91,900 hours. If Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is
Answer:
$275,700 underapplied
Explanation:
The computation of the overhead is shown below:
But before that following calculation need to be done
Applied overhead is
= Actual machine hours × predetermined overhead rate
= 91,900 hours × ($13,502,000 ÷ 157,000)
= $7,903,400
And, the actual overhead is $8,179,100
So, the under applied overhead is
= $8,179,100 - $7,903,400
= $275,700

Monetary approach and forecasting.
Suppose relative PPP and the quantity theory of money hold. Suppose you expect the rate of money growth of Argentina in the next year to be around 15% while your forecast for its real GDP growth is at 2%. Suppose inflation in Brazil is expected to be at 4%.
Suppose you learn that the government of Argentina is planning to cut taxes. You expect this tax cut to be financed through money creation and revise your forecast for money growth to be 25% instead of 15%.
Suppose that you also expect the UIP to hold. You know that the nominal interest rate in Brazil today is 6% (on deposits maturing in a year).
1. What is the nominal interest rate in Argentina?
2. What is the world real interest rate?
Answer:
1. The nominal interest rate in Argentina is:
= 25%
2. The world real interest rate is:
= 2%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected money growth rate of Argentina next year = 15%
Forecasted real GDP growth = 2%
Expected inflation rate = 13% (15% - 2%)
Nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate
Real interest rate = 25% - 13% = 12%
Nominal interest rate = 12% + 13% = 25%
The world real interest rate = nominal interest rate minus inflation rate
= 6% - 4% = 2%

Prepare a schedule indicating cash collections from sales for May, June, and July.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Sales:
May $290,000
June 410,000
July 520,000
52% are expected to be collected in the month of the sale
44% in the month following the sale
4% in the second month following the sale
We need to calculate the cash collection for each month:
Cash collection May:
Cash collection from sales on account May= (290,000*0.52)= 150,800
Total cash collection May= $150,800
Cash collection June:
Cash collection from sales on account May= (290,000*0.44)= 127,600
Cash collection from sales on account June= (410,000*0.52)= 213,200
Total cash collection June= $340,800
Cash collection July:
Cash collection from sales on account May= (290,000*0.4)= 11,600
Cash collection from sales on account June= (410,000*0.44)= 180,400
Cash collection from sales on account July= (520,000*0.52)= 270,400
Total cash collection July= $462,400
At the beginning of the year, Grillo Industries bought three used machines from Freeman Incorporated. The machines immediately were overhauled, were installed, and started operating. Because the machines were different, each was recorded separately in the accounts.

Installation costs 950 3,900 3,000
Renovation costs prior to use 750 3,500 4,000
Repairs after production began 700 900 2,500
By the end of the first year, each machine had been operating 8,000 hours.
Required:
Compute the cost of each machine.
Answer:
the cost of machine for A, B and C is $12,500, $47,400 and $30,800 respectively
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the machine is given below:
For Machine A
= $10,800 + $950 + $750
= $12,500
For Machine B
= $40,000 + $3,900 + $3,500
= $47,400
And, for machine C
= $23,800 + $3,000 + $4,000
= $30,800
Hence, the cost of machine for A, B and C is $12,500, $47,400 and $30,800 respectively
Assume the following: The variable portion of the predetermined overhead rate is $1.50 per direct labor-hour. The standard labor-hours allowed per unit of finished goods is 3 hours. The actual quantity of labor hours worked during the period was 44,000 hours. The total actual variable manufacturing overhead cost for the period was $63,000. The company produced 15,000 units of finished goods during the period. What is the variable overhead rate variance
The variable overhead rate variance or spending variance is 1500.
What is variable overhead rate variance?The difference between the variable manufacturing overhead that actually occurred and the variable manufacturing overhead that was anticipated given the number of hours worked is known as the variable overhead rate variation or spending variance.
The term "variable overhead efficiency variance" refers to both the impact of the discrepancy between the actual manufacturing time and the projected manufacturing time. Variations in production efficiency are the cause of it.
Variable overhead efficiency variance= Standard overhead rate x (Actual hours - Standard hours)
Standard quantity= 3* 15,00
= 45,000 hours
Actual quantity= 44,000 hours
Standard rate= $1.50
Variable overhead variance= 1000* $1.50
= 1500

Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.2 x $100,000 = $20,000
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
Required reserves = 0.15 x 600 = 90
Excess reserves = 600 - 90 = 510
discuss intrapreneurship and give 5 reasons for the beef of intrapreneurship in work places
Answer:
1. Growth: During the economic downturn most companies stopped investing in the future. Now they are sitting on piles of cash. They know they need to grow, they just aren’t sure how. Intrapreneurship answers the question of – HOW!
The goal of Intrapreneurship is to create the entrepreneurial mindset and infrastructure needed to support growth. It takes a systems view of growth. It is a framework for transformation.
Intrapreneurship helps organizations generate new business growth.
2. Innovation: Innovation is the key element in providing aggressive top line growth. But doing one or two innovation initiatives a year will not support or sustain innovation. Organizations need to be innovating all the time. Failure rates for innovation are still high, 50% to 90%.
Innovation alone is not enough. Organizations need to set the context for innovation; the right people, the right processes and the right environment. Innovation and intrapreneurship are entwined, they are tied together. You need both to be successful.
Intrapreneurship provides an environment to support and sustain innovation over time.
3. Leadership: Research has identified leadership as the key predictor of innovation success. Yet a majority of CEOs to not feel like they have the capabilities inside their organizations to achieve their growth agenda. The skills and capabilities that propelled most executives to the top in the past are not the skills required to build new growth businesses. Only 4% of leaders are intrapreneurial.
Intrapreneurship requires a new set of competencies and behaviors. Intrapreneurial leaders think and act differently, they have different motivations and aspirations, and they prefer working in different work environments. It is this differentiation that makes them the perfect candidate to lead new growth initiatives.
Intrapreneurship is the one of the best ways to attract and retain your most entrepreneurial leaders.
4. Change: Change is one of the least understood and under developed management disciplines. Most studies report a 60% – 70% failure rate when it comes to change initiatives. Risk adverse cultures and resistance to change impede an organizations ability to grow.
Intrapreneurial leaders are change agents. They blaze new trails. They become the very change they wish to see. Not just driving change, but modeling change so others can change as well.
Intrapreneurship enables organizations to effectively accelerate and manage change.
5. Engagement: Gallup Research estimates that disengaged employees cost US organizations over $450 billion in lost productivity. In 2012, only 30% of American workers were engaged and committed to their workplace. Lost productivity translates to slow or no growth.
Intrapreneurship provides a platform to engage employees in work that is challenging and meaningful. Intrapreneurs are highly engaged in their work. Their passion and determination inspire others to get involved and try new things. As they grow, the organization grows.
Intrapreneurship helps employees stretch and grow while keeping them engaged.
Intrapreneurship has become a critical imperative for all organizations and a survival strategy for others. Organizations that have embraced Intrapreneurship have achieved higher financial returns, increased productivity, more innovation and higher levels of employee engagement.

Ramort Company reports the following cost data for its single product. The company regularly sells 21,500 units of its product at a price of $63.00 per unit. Direct materials $ 10.30 per unit Direct labor $ 12.30 per unit Overhead costs for the year Variable overhead $ 3.30 per unit Fixed overhead per year $ 52,900.00 Selling and administrative costs for the year Variable $ 2.30 per unit Fixed $ 65,500 Normal production level (in units) 21,500 units Compute gross margin under absorption costing. (Round unit cost amounts to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Gross margin= $744,760
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary fixed overhead= 52,900 / 21,500= $2.46
Total unitary production cost= 10.3 + 12.3 + 3.3 + 2.46= $28.36
Now, the gross margin:
Gross margin= sales - COGS
Gross margin= 21,500*63 - 21,500*(28.36)
Gross margin= $744,760
Assume that you have been hired as a consultant by CGT, a major producer of chemicals and plastics, including plastic grocery bags, styrofoam cups, and fertilizers, to estimate the firm's weighted average cost of capital. CGT's balance sheet data are as follows.
The stock is currently selling for $15.25 per share, and its noncallable $1,000 par value, 20-year, 7.25% bonds with semiannual payments are selling for $875.00. The beta is 1.25, the yield on a 6- month Treasury bill is 3.50%, and the yield on a 20-year Treasury bond is 5.50%. The required return on the stock market is 11.50%, but the market has had an average annual return of 14.50% during the past 5 years. The firm's tax rate is 40%. Determine the best estimate of the after-tax cost of debt.

a. 5.40%.
b. 5.67%.
c. 4.64%.
d. 5.14%.
Answer:
d. 5.14%.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the best estimate of the after-tax cost of debt.
First step
Based on the information given we would make use of rate formula in excel.
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
Where,
nper= coupon every six months for 20 years = 40 coupon payments
Pmt =$1000*7.25%*6/12=$36.25
Pv = $875
Fv =$1000
Let plug in the formula
=rate(40,36.25,-875,1000)=4.28% semiannually
=4.28% *2=8.56% annually
Now let calculate the after tax cost of debt using this formula
After tax cost of debt=8.56%*(1-t)
Where,
t represent tax rate of 40%
Let plug in the formula
After tax cost of debt=8.56%*(1-0.4)
After tax cost of debt=5.14%
Therefore the best estimate of the after-tax cost of debt is 5.14%
explain root mean square speed in the context of gas laws
Answer:
The root-mean-square speed is the measure of the speed of particles in a gas, defined as the square root of the average velocity-squared of the molecules in a gas. ... The root-mean-square speed takes into account both molecular weight and temperature, two factors that directly affect the kinetic energy of a material.
