Answer:
$5086
Explanation:
Total cost is defined as the amount spent in a production process which involves variable cost such as labour and raw materials which change with volume of production.
In addition fixed cost that remain constant with volume of production are also considered as part of total cost.
In the give scenario
Direct materials is $3,044
Direct labour cost is $15 * 46 = $690
Machine use cost $13 * 104 = $1,352
Total cost = 3,044 + 690 + 1,352 = $5,086

When a parent company sells land to a subsidiary at more than book value, the consolidation entries at the end of the period include a debit to the gain on the sale of land. When a parent purchases the bonds of a subsidiary from a nonaffiliate at less than book value, the consolidation entries at the end of the period contain a credit to a gain on bond retirement. Why are these two situations not handled in the same manner on the consolidation worksheet
Answer:
The reasons for these two situations not handled similarly are:
1. The first case involving the sale of land is a transaction between a parent and its subsidiary. Their accounts are consolidated with gains from intercompany transactions eliminated because a parent company cannot recognize gains from sales to itself (group). This implies that all intercompany gains can only be recognized when the sales involve external or non-affiliated entities.
2. In the second case, there is no parent-subsidiary relationship since one organization is described as a non-affiliate. Therefore, there is no need to eliminate the intercompany profit arising from the transaction. Instead, the gain is recognized.
Explanation:
The accounts of companies that are under common control are consolidated by the parent entity. Therefore, during the consolidation process, it becomes necessary to eliminate all intercompany transactions that have not been externally affected.
On January 1, 20X1, Beard Company purchased a machine for $620,000. The machine is expected to have a 10-year life, with no salvage value, and will be depreciated by the straight-line method. On January 1, 20x1, it leased the machine to Child Company for a three-year period at an annual rental of $128,000 to be paid at the end of each year. Beard could have sold the machine for $817,298 instead of leasing it. Child does not know the implicit rate in the lease, but it has an incremental rate of 9%. Child Company has a December 31 reporting year. Use tables (PV of 1, PVAD of 1, and PVOA of 1 (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Required:
1. Why is this an operating lease for Child Company?
2. What are the amounts of the right-of-use asset and lease liab that Child Company should report on its balance sheet at December 31, 20X1?
3. How much lease expense should Child Company recognize in 20X1?
Answer:
1. Why is this an operating lease for Child Company?
The life of the asset is 10 years while the lease is only 3 years long, so it cannot be classified as a financial lease.
2. What are the amounts of the right-of-use asset and lease liability that Child Company should report on its balance sheet at December 31, 20X1?
annual lease payment = $128,000 (ordinary annuity)
PVIFA, 9%, 3 periods = 2.5313
present value = $128,000 x 2.5313 = $324,006.40
3. How much lease expense should Child Company recognize in 20X1?
lease expense = PV of lease x interest rate = $324,006.40 x 9% = $29,160.58

The following information was provided by Dylan Manufacturing: Work in process increased by $19,000. Finished goods inventory decreased by $33,000. Direct materials used totaled $54,000. Direct labor incurred totaled $42,000. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate was $27.00 per machine hour. Actual manufacturing overhead totaled $77,000. The estimated machine-hours were 3,000 hours and the actual machine-hours was 2,800 hours. How much is the cost of goods sold before any adjustment for overapplied or underapplied overhead
Answer:
$185,600
Explanation:
Direct materials $54,000
Direct labour $42,000
Predetermined OH $75,600 (2800*$27)
Cost of goods manufactured $171,600
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + WIP increase - Finished good decrease
Cost of goods sold = $171,600 + (-$19,000) + $33,000
Cost of goods sold = $185,600

Farmer's Fine Furnishings manufactures upscale custom furniture. Farmer's currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate its $1,100,000 of manufacturing overhead to individual jobs. However, Delores Fuller, owner and CEO, is considering refining the company's costing system by using departmental overhead rates. Currently, the Machining Department incurs $740,000 of manufacturing overhead while the Finishing Department incurs $360,000 of manufacturing overhead. Fuller has identified machine hours (MH) as the primary manufacturing overhead cost driver in the Machining Department and direct labor (DL) hours as the primary cost driver in the Finishing Department.
Requirement 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate assuming that Donovan's expects to incur 27,500 total DL hours during the year.
First, identify the formula, then compute the rate.
Requirement 2. Compute departmental overhead rates assuming that Donovan's expects to incur 14,800 MH in the Machining Department and 18,000 DL hours in the Finishing Department during the year.
First, identify the formula, then compute the rate for each department.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Plant wide overhead rate
= Total manufacturing overhead / Estimated cost allocation base
= $1,100,000/27,500
= $40
2. Compute department overhead rates
= Total department overhead / Estimated cost allocation base
Machining department
= $740,000/14,800
= $50 per MH
Fishing department
= $360,000/18,000
= $20 per DL

You work for NCP, New Century Properties, in Portland, Oregon. Your employer specializes in commercial real estate. Yesterday one of your business tenants in the trendy NW 23rd neighborhood complained about problems with an iron gate you had installed by Castle Iron Works just six months earlier, on August 20. Apparently, the two doors of the gate have settled and don’t match in height. The gate gets stuck. It takes much force to open, close, and lock the gate. The iron gate was painted, and in some spots rust is bleeding onto the previously pristine white paint. The tenant at 921 NW 23rd Ave., Portland, OR 97210 is a petite shop owner, who complained to you about struggling with the gate at least twice a day when opening and closing her store.
You realize that you will have to contact the installer, Castle Iron Works, and request that the company inspect the gate and remedy the problem. Only six months have passed, and you recall that the warranty for the gate was for one year. To have a formal record of the claim, and because Castle Iron Works does not use e-mail, you decide to write a claim letter.
Solution :
To,
John Gordon,
Castle Iron Works,
256 NW Fox Street,
Portland
Date : 16th Feb 2021
Subject : NW 23rd neighborhood Iron Gate not working properly which is within warrantee period.
Dear Sir,
One of our tenant at 921 NW 23rd Avenue, Portland, or 97210 has complained about the iron gate that was installed by Castle Iron Works. The doors was installed on the 20th of August and so it is within warrantee period for a one year. Please find the enclosed herewith the copy of the invoice of the Castle Iron Works.
The customer had complaint that the two gates does not match in height and the owner is finding difficulty in closing and opening the gate. Also to mention , in some parts of the iron gate is seen with some rust bleeding.
Therefore you are requested to inspect the gate immediately and please provide remedy for the issue.
Thanking You

You oversee the $250 petty cash for your company. When an employee needs a special item that is not in inventory, you take money from petty cash to purchase that item.
One day, you are short on cash for lunch. You decide to borrow $10 each day for the next 3 days until payday for a total of $30 from petty cash. After payday, you do not have enough to repay petty cash, so you decide to record a cash short/over expense of $30.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Since this is the first time you have ever done this, is this a problem?
If so, what steps should be taken to fix this problem? If not, why not?
Answer:
Since this is the first time you have ever done this, is this a problem?
Of course this is a problem, you stole money. Stealing money is not right and it is a problem. If someone finds out, you will lose your job. legally, you could also be prosecuted, but the amount is very little. Another problem is that if you are able to go unpunished and no one finds out, this behavior will continue until you cannot hide it anymore. By then , the amount might be larger, not just a few dollars, and you will be in deep trouble.
If so, what steps should be taken to fix this problem? If not, why not?
Pay back the money you took. Simple as that. Sometimes, doing the correct thing is not difficult. Do not spend money on unnecessary things and pay the $30. Do it before this becomes a bad habit and you get into serious trouble that seriously damage your career. No company will hire someone fired for stealing money form their previous employer.

In 2009 the Ford Motor Company announced plans to spend $490 million on
building a third car assembly plant in China
Briefly explain two likely reasons why the Ford Motor Company plans to build
a third car assembly plant in China
Answer:
Cheaper labor. Cheaper auto parts.Explanation:
China has cheaper labor rates than the United States in comparative industries including in the motor vehicle producing industry. Ford may want to take advantage of this to make cars at a smaller cost in China and therefore make more profit in sales.
Car parts are also easier and cheaper to acquire in China. Steel for instance, is a very valuable commodity in motor vehicle manufacturing and China happens to be the largest producer in the world. Having access to cheaper materials would increase Ford's profitability as well.
Roe Corporation owns 2,000 shares of WRJ Corporation stock. WRJ Corporation has 25,000 shares of stock outstanding. WRJ paid $4 per share in cash dividends to its stockholders. The entry to record the receipt of these dividends is:
a. Debit Cash, $8,000; credit Long-Term Investments, $8,000.
b. Debt Long-Term Investment, $8,000; credit Cash, $8,000.
c. Debit Cash, $8,000; credit Dividend Revenue, $8,000.
d. Debit Unrealized Gain-Equity, $8,000; credit Cash, $8,000.
e. Debit Cash, $8,000; credit Unrealized Gain-Equity, $8,000.
Answer:
c. Debit Cash, $8,000; credit Dividend Revenue, $8,000
Explanation:
In the given scenario the number of shares owned by Roe Corporation is 2,000 shares out of a total of 25,000 shares.
So when dividend of $4 is given per share, Roe will have dividend of
Dividend = Number of shares * Dividend per share
Dividend = 2000 * 4
Dividend = $8,000
The entry to indicate reciept of the dividend will be Debit Cash, $8,000; credit Dividend Revenue, $8,000
Cash is an asset account. It increases as the debit balance increases.
So a reciept of $8,000 from the shares owned will result in a cash increase. Therefore cash is debited $8,000
Dividend revenue is a revenue account that increases as positive balance increases.
When the share dividend is recieved revenue increases.
Therefore we will credited Dividend revenue by $8,000 to recognise the increase in revenue

Bellue Incorporated manufactures a single product. Variable costing net operating income was $96,300 last year and its inventory decreased by 2,700 units. Fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $2 per unit for both units in beginning and in ending inventory. What was the absorption costing net operating income last year
Answer:
$101,700
Explanation:
The difference between Variable Costing Income and Absorption Costing Income is due to fixed costs that are deferred in Opening and Closing Inventory. So to calculate Absorption Costing Income we need to adjust
Variable Costing Income with the fixed cost in inventory through a reconciliation as follows :
Reconciliation of Variable Costing Income to Absorption Costing Income
Variable costing net operating income $96,300
Add Fixed cost in stock changes (2,700 x $2.00) $5,400
Absorption costing net operating income $101,700
Thus, the absorption costing net operating income last year is $101,700
A Texas household receives a Social Security check for $1500, which it uses to purchase a $40 pair of shoes made in Thailand by a Thai firm, a $1240 television made by a Korean firm in Korea, and $220 on groceries from a local store. As a result, U.S. GDP increases by $40. increases by $220. increases by $280. increases by $1500.
Answer:
increases by $220.
Explanation:
The computation of the GDP is shown below:
Since the amount of $220 spend on groceries from a local store
And, the other amounts like $1,500, $40 and $1,240 represent the imports so this would not be included in GDP

Compare: High Rate vs Snowball.
6. A standard repayment term for a home loan is 30 years, or 360 months. How long does it take you to repay your mortgage using this method?
Answer:
High Rate Vs Snowball
With this standard repayment of 30 years or 360 months, it means that it takes 30 years to repay the mortgage using the Snowball method and a shorter period (less than 30 years) to repay the mortgage using the High Rate method.
Explanation:
The Snowball method is a better method of repaying a loan. This method encourages paying off the loan with the smaller balance first instead of paying off the loan with the higher rate first. The only advantage of the High Rate method is that the loan is repaid quickly with less interest.
38. Mary Catherine, an international student from Ireland, has a Form W-2 that shows amounts withheld for Social Security and Medicare taxes. Mary Catherine is an F-1 student who first arrived in the U.S. in 2018. What form should Mary Catherine use to claim a refund of her Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld
Answer: Form 843
Explanation:
As a taxpayer, Mary can use Form 843 to claim a refund of her Social Security taxes. First she tried to obtain the refund through her employer and should this fail, she should fill out a form 843 and submit it to get help on the claim.
The form can also be used to get an abatement on FUTA taxes as well as a refund of interest, penalties, or additions to taxes.
ZipCar auto parts store has $92,000 to invest in a project to detect and reduce insier theft in their stores. They have considering investing in one of two alternatives, identified as Y and Z. Z is the higher first-cost alternative, and the incremental initial investment between the two is $34,000 and will exhibit a rate of return of 20% per year. Z requires an investment of $92,000. They expect a rate of return on the S92000 investment of 34 percent. Answer the following questions:
(a) what is the size of the investment required in Y?, and,
(b) what is the rate of return on Y?
The size of the investment required in Y is________.
The rate of return on Y is__________.
Solution :
a). The investment size -- Y
As we know, Z has higher a first cost alternative and also the incremental difference is 34,000. Therefore, the investment of Y is lower than that of Z by 34,000. Thus, the investment of Y = $ 92,000 - $ 34,000
= $ 58,000
b). Rate of return for Y
The question also mentions that the incremental 34,000 returned only 20 % while Z cumulatively generated 34%
Therefore, 34,000 at the rate of 20% return = [tex]$34000 \times \frac{120}{100} = 40,800$[/tex]
92,000 at the rate of 34% return = [tex]$92000 \times \frac{134}{100} = 123,280$[/tex]
The difference between the 92,000 and 32,000 is the investment of Y i.e. 58,000. Thus we check the difference between the 40800 and 123280 to find out how much 58000 (Y's investment ) would have generated.
123480 - 40800 = 82,480
[tex]$\frac{82480}{58000}-1 = 0.420269$[/tex]
Therefore, the return of Y is 42.03%
Textra Plastics produces parts for a variety of small machine manufacturers. Most products go through two operations, molding and trimming, before they are ready for packaging. Expected costs and activities for the molding department and for the trimming department for this year follow. Molding Trimming Direct labor hours 52,000 DLH 48,000 DLH Machine hours 30,500 MH 3,600 MH Overhead costs $ 730,000 $ 590,000 Data for two special-order parts to be manufactured by the company in this year follow. Part A27C Part X82B Number of units 9,800 units 54,500 units Machine hours Molding 5,100 MH 1,020 MH Trimming 2,600 MH 650 MH Direct labor hours Molding 5,500 DLH 2,150 DLH Trimming 700 DLH 3,500 DLH Required: 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate using direct labor hours as the base. 2. Determine the overhead cost assigned to each product line using the plantwide rate computed in requirement 1.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined plantwide 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= $1,320,000
total amount of allocation base= 100,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,320,000 / 100,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13.2 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Part A27C:
Allocated MOH= 13.2*(5,500 + 700)
Allocated MOH= $81,840
Part X82B:
Allocated MOH= 13.2*(2,150 + 3,500)
Allocated MOH= $74,580

Answer:
A)The Null hypothesis ; H0 : u ≤ 69
The Alternate hypothesis ; H1 : u ≥ 69
B) The recruiting center claim is found at 5% significance level
C) ( 69.9488, 71.4512 )
Explanation:
A) Identify the null and alternate hypothesis
since the recruiting center is trying to test if the average height of the year's recruit is > 69. hence
The Null hypothesis ; H0 : u ≤ 69
The Alternate hypothesis ; H1 : u ≥ 69
B) Determine if the recruiters find support from the given claim at the 5% significance level
As a single tailed test we will calculate the mean and standard deviation first using MS excel
mean ( X ) = 70.7
standard deviation ( s ) = 3.02
next we will calculate the test statistic using the formula below
t = [tex]\frac{X-u}{s/\sqrt{n} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{70.7-69}{3.02/\sqrt{64} }[/tex] = 4.503
next we will determine the P-value using MS excel
t = 4.503 , n = 64
df ( degree of freedom ) = n - 1 ( for a one tailed test )
= 64 - 1 = 63
hence the p-value at 63 degree of freedom = 0.0000148 ( using MS excel )
The p - value < significance level hence Null hypothesis is rejected while Alternate hypothesis is accepted.
The recruiting center claim is valid at 5% significance level
C) using sample data to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average
The 95% confidence interval for the mean value u = ( 69.9488, 71.4512 )
Therefore The claim made is a reasonable one
attached below is a detailed solution

The following income statements are provided for two companies operating in the same industry:
Felix Company
Jinx Company Revenue $ 200,000 $ 200,000
Variable costs (25,000 ) (70,000 )
Contribution margin 175,000 130,000
Fixed costs (70,000 ) (25,000 )
Net income $ 105,000 $ 105,000
Assuming sales increase by $1,000, select the correct statement from the following:
a) Felix's net income will be more than Jinx's.
b) Correct Only Felix will experience an increase in profit.
c) Felix's net income will increase by $250.
d) Jinx's net income will increase by 6%.
Answer: Felix's net income will be more than Jinx's.
Explanation:
Bases on the information given, Felix net income will be:
Sales = 201000
Less: Variable cost = 25125
Contribution margin = 175875
Less: Fixed cost = 70000
Net income = 105875
Jinx company net income will be:
Sales = 201000
Less: Variable cost = 70350
Contribution margin = 130650
Less: Fixed cost = 25000
Net income = 105650
From the calculation, the correct option is A "Felix's net income will be more than Jinx's". It increases by $225.
Inflation, nominal interest rates, and real rates. From 1991 to 2000, the U.S. economy had an annual inflation rate of around %. The historical annual nominal risk-free rate for this same period was around %. Using the approximate nominal interest rate equation and the true nominal interest rate equation, compute the real interest rate for that decade. What is the estimated real interest rate using the approximate nominal interest rate equation for that decade?
Answer:
the question is incomplete:
nominal interest rate = 5.07%
real interest rate = ?
inflation rate = 3.45%
approximate real interest rate = 5.07% - 3.45% = 1.62%
real interest rate = [(1 + 5.07%) / (1 + 3.45%)] - 1
real interest rate = (1.0507/1.0345) - 1 = 1.57%
