Given - Shum Manufacturing, which uses the high-low method, makes a
product called Kwan. The company incurs three different cost
types (A, B, and C) and has a relevant range of operation between
2,500 units and 10,000 units per month. Per-unit costs at two
different activity levels for each cost type are presented below.
Type A Type B Type C Total
5,000 units $4 $9 $4 $17
7,500 units $4 $6 $3 $13
To find - If Shum produces 10,000 units, the total cost would be ?
Proof -
As we know that
Total cost = Variable cost per unit × Units + Fixed Cost
Now,
As per the question ,
Highest Activity unit = 7,500 units
Lowest Activity unit = 5,000 units
Now,
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost / Change in activity unit
= ( Highest Activity cost - Lowest Activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity unit - Lowest Activity unit )
Type A Type B Type C
Highest Activity Cost 30,000 45,000 22,500
Lowest Activity Cost 20,000 45,000 20,000
Variable Cost Per unit 4 0 1
Fixed Cost 0 90,000 15,000
Now,

The computation of the total cost that should be recorded is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost
= $2,434 + (72 labor hours × $14) + (132 machine hours × $15)
= $2,434 + $1,008 + $1,980
= $5,422
hence, the total cost is $5,422
Analyse, using a production possibility curve (PPC) diagram, the effect of an increase in enterprise on an economy.
Answer:
Describe economic growth using a PPC diagram.
Explanation:
Production possibility curve shows all different attainable combinations of the production of two commodities that can be produced in an economy given the resources and technology which are constant and fully utilized. Therefore to achieve any point beyond PPC, there is need for increase in the present supply of resources and technology which leads to an outward shift in PPC as overall production increases which results in economic growth as shown in the diagram.

Sunland Company has $4050000 of 8% convertible bonds outstanding. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of $30 par value common stock. The bonds pay interest on January 31 and July 31. On July 31, 2021, the holders of $1250000 bonds exercised the conversion privilege. On that date the market price of the bonds was 106 and the market price of the common stock was $35. The total unamortized bond premium at the date of conversion was $288000. Sunland should record, as a result of this conversion, a
Answer: credit of $213876.80 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par.
Explanation:
First and foremost, we have to calculate the exercised ratio which will be:
= Converted value for bonds / Total value if convertible bonds
= $1250000 / $4050000
= 0.3086
The unamortized premium will then be calculated thus:
= $1250000 + ($288000 × 0.3086) - (1250 × $30 × 30)
= $1250000 + $88876.80 - $1125000
= $213876.80
Therefore, credit of $213876.80 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par.

The government passes a new investment tax credit initiative. Which input in the production function changes, and what is the effect on economic growth in the country? The capital stock decreases, and economic growth is negatively affected. Technological advance occurs, but there is no effect on economic growth. The capital stock increases, and economic growth is positively affected. Human capital is enhanced, and economic growth is positively affected.
Answer: The capital stock increases, and economic growth is positively affected.
Explanation:
If the government offers an investment tax credit, a situation will arise where entities will invest more knowing that they do not have to pay as much in taxes.
This investment will lead to an increase in capital stock as this is what investment purchases to enable production. With more capital stock, production levels will rise and the economy will grow.

In January of this year, the Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours and the basic model required 6,000 di
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the plantwide predetermine manufacturing overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
total estimated overhead costs for the period= (625,000 + 900,000 + 105,000 + 175,000 + 300,000 + 75,000)
total estimated overhead costs for the period= $2,180,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,180,000 / 125,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17.44 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Deluxe:
Allocated MOH= 17.44*2,500
Allocated MOH= $43,600
Basic:
Allocated MOH= 17.44*6,000
Allocated MOH= $104,640

A manufacturer of programmable calculators is attempting to determine a reasonable free- service period for a model it will introduce shortly. The manager of product testing has indicated that the calculators have an expected life of 30 months. Assume product life can be described by an exponential distribution.
a. If service contracts are offered for the expected life of the calculator, what percentage of those sold would be expected to fail during the service period?
b. What service period would result in a failure rate of approximately 10 percent?
Answer:
a. P(failure before T) = 1 - e^(-(T/MTBF)).................(1)
Where e = value obtained from table, T = Length of service before failure, MTBF = 30, Mean time before failure = 30 months
P = 1 - e^(-(T/MTBF))
P = 1 - e^(-(30/30))
P = 1 - 0.3679
P = 0.6321
So, 63.21% of sold product would all during the service period if service contracts are offered for expected life of the calculator
b. Here, the value of P is given. P = 10% = 0.10
1 - e^(-(T/MTBF)) = 0.10
e^(-(T/30) = 0.90
T/30 = 0.10
T = 0.10*30
T = 3 months
So, the service period would be 3 month that result in failure rate of 10%

Answer:
$19.20
Explanation:
Computation for the unit product cost that would appear on the job cost sheet for this job.
First step is to compute the Total Product cost
Job 243
Direct material $ 51,870
Direct labor (435*11) 4,785
Overhead (516*13) 6,708
Total Product cost $63,363
Now let Compute the unit product cost
Unit product cost=$63,363/3,300 units
Unit product cost =$19.20
Therefore the unit product cost that would appear on the job cost sheet for this job is $19.20
Eddie is a production engineer for a major supplier of component parts for cars. He has determined that a robot can be installed on the production line to replace one employee. The employee earns $20 per hour and benefits worth $8 per hour for a total annual cost of $58,240 this year. Eddie estimates this cost will increase 6% each year. The robot will cost $16,500 to operate for the first year with costs increasing by $1500 each year. The firm uses an interest rate of 15% and a 10-year planning horizon. The robot costs $75,000 installed and will have a salvage value of $5000 after 10 years. Should Eddie recommend that purchase of the robot
Answer:
Eddie should recommend the purchase of the robot.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the following 3 steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the present worth (PW) of the cost of one employee
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the the present value (PV) of a growing annuity as follows:
PWE = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (1)
Where;
PWE = Present worth of the cost of one employee = ?
P = first or this year annual cost = $58,240
r = interest rate = 15%, or 0.15
g = annual growth rate of cost of the one employee = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PWE = ($58,240 / (0.15 - 0.06)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.06) / (1 + 0.15))^10) = $360,654.33
Step 2: Calculation of the present worth (PW) of the cost of the robot
This can be calculated using the following formula:
PWR = C + ((P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n)) - (SV / (1 + r)^n) .................... (2)
Where;
PWR = Present worth of the cost of the robot = ?
C = cost of installing the robot = $75,000
P = first year cost of operating the robot = $16,500
r = interest rate = 15%, or 0.15
g = annual growth rate of cost of operating the robot = Annual increase in cost / P = $1500 / $16,500 = 0.0909090909090909
n = number of years = 10
SV = Salvage value = $5,000
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
PWR = $75,000 + (($16,500 / (0.15 - 0.0909090909090909)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.0909090909090909) / (1 + 0.15))^10)) - (SV / (1 + 0.15)^10) = $188,227.75
Step 3: Recommendation
PWE = Present worth of the cost of one employee = $360,654.33
PWR = Present worth of the cost of the robot = $188,227.75
Since present worth of the cost of the robot of $188,227.75 is lower than the present worth of the cost of one employee of $360,654.33, Eddie should recommend the purchase of the robot.
Roquan, a single taxpayer, is an attorney and practices as a sole proprietor. This year, Roquan had net business income of $90,000 from his law practice (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction). Assume that Roquan pays $40,000 in wages to his employees, has $10,000 of property (unadjusted basis of equipment he purchased last year), and has no capital gains or qualified dividends. His taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $100,000.
1. Calculate Roquan's deduction for qualified business income.
2. Assume the same facts as earlier, except Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $300,000.
Answer:
A. $18,000
B. No QBI deduction
Explanation:
a) Calculation for Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income.
Using this formula
Roquan's qualified business income.
= 20% x QBI
Let plug in the formula
Roquan's qualified business income
= 20% x $90,000
Roquan's qualified business income= $18,000
Therefore Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income will be $18,000
b) Based on the information given if we assumed that Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is the amount of $300,000 which means that Roquan's income is higher than the amount of $213,300 hence, NO qualified business income deduction (QBI) will be allowed.
