Answer:
Ending inventory= $39,830
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company using the data below.
Nov 1 Purchased 600 units $80 each
Nov 4 Sold 200 units
Nov 11 Purchased 350 units $82 each
Nov 12 Sold 275 units
Nov 22 Purchased 175 units $84 each
Nov 23 Sold 155 units
Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated. Using the perpetual method, the company identifies the cost with each specific unit.
Ending inventory in units= total units - units sold= 495 units
COGS:
Nov 4= 200*80= 16,000
Nov 12= 275*82= 22,550
Nov 23= 155*84= 13,020
Ending inventory= 400*80 + 75*82 + 20*84= $39,830

Russ and Linda are married and file a joint tax return claiming their three children, ages 4, 7, and 18, as dependents. Their adjusted gross income for 2019 is $415,300. What is Russ and Linda's total child and other dependent credit for 2019?
Answer:
$3,700
Explanation:
Given that
Adjusted gross income for the year 2019 = $415,300
Children ages = 4, 7, and 18 as dependents
Based on the given information, Russ and Linda's total child and other dependent credit for the year 2019 is
= (Maximum amount per qualifying child + non-refundable tax credit) - (deductible amount × age)
= ($2,000 × 2 + $500) - ($50 × 16)
= $4,500 - $800
= $3,700
After $400,000 the $50 is decreased for each and every $1,000
You and your new spouse each bring home $1400 each month after taxes and other payroll deductions. By living frugally, you intend to live on just one paycheck and save the other in a mutual fund yielding 7.83% compounded monthly. How long will it take to have enough for a 20% down payment on a $165,000 condo in the city? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
22 months
Explanation:
The 20% down payment which is target savings =$165,000*20%=$33,000
The are two paychecks which is $1,400 each
monthly savings is one paycheck=$1,400
rate of compounding is 7.83% yearly=7.83%/12=0.006525 monthly
The number of months the savings will reach $33,000 can be computed using the nper formula in excel as shown below:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
rate is the monthly rate i,e 0.006525
pmt is the monthly savings of $1,400
pv is the present worth of the savings which is unknown
fv is the future value of target savings which is $33,000
=nper(0.006525,-1400,0,33000)=22 months approximately
Mouret Corporation uses the following activity rates from its activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products.
Activity Cost Pools Activity Rate
Setting up batches $92.68 per batch
Processing customer orders $95.08 per customer order
Assembling products $3.41 per assembly hour
Last year, Product N79A required 28 batches,
6 customer orders, and 712 assembly hours.
Required:
How much total overhead cost would be assigned to Product N79A using the company's activity-based costing system?
Answer:
$5,593.44
Explanation:
The computation of the total overhead cost assigned to Product N79A using the activity based costing is shown below:
Total overhead cost assigned is
= Setting up batches cost + processing customer orders cost + assembly products cost
As we know that
Overhead Cost assigned = Activity Rate × Number of activity
So,
Setting up batches cost = $92.68 × 28 batches = $2,595.04
Processing customer orders cost = $95.08 × 6 customer orders = $570.48
And,
Assembling products cost = $3.41 × 712 assembly hours = $2,427.92
So,
Total overhead cost assigned to Product N79A is
= $2,595.04 + $570.48 + $2,427.92
= $5,593.44
Marshall Company purchases a machine for $200,000. The machine has an estimated residual value of $80,000. The company expects the machine to produce four million units. The machine is used to make 440,000 units during the current period. If the units-of-production method is used, the depreciation expense for this period is:
Answer:
The depreciation expense for this period is: $13,200
Explanation:
The depreciation charge using units of production is calculated as follows :
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) × (Period`s Production / Total Expected Production)
= ($200,000 - $80,000) × 440,000 units / 4,000,000 units
= $13,200
Conclusion:
The depreciation expense for this period is: $13,200
Happy Feet Shoe Company makes loafers. During the most recent year, Happy Feet incurred total manufacturing costs of $26, 100,000. Of this amount, $2, 100,000 was direct materials used and $19, 800,000 was direct labor. Beginning balances for the year were Raw Materials Inventory, $500,000; Work-in-Process Inventory, $1,000,000; and Finished Goods Inventory, $500,000. At the end of the year, balances were Raw Materials Inventory, $600,000; Work-in-Process Inventory, $1, 400,000; and Finished Goods Inventory, $920,000.
Requirements
Analyze the inventory accounts to determine:
1. Cost of raw materials purchased during the year.
2. Cost of goods manufactured for the year.
3. Cost of goods sold for the year.
4. Cost of raw materials purchased during the year.
Direct Materials
Direct Materials Used
Beginning Raw Materials Inventory
Ending Raw Materials Inventory
Purchases
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Manufacturing costs= $26,100,000
Direct materials used= $2,100,000
Direct labor= $19,800,000
Beginning inventory:
Raw Materials= $500,000
Work-in-Process= $1,000,000
Finished Goods= $500,000
Ending inventory:
Raw Materials= $600,000
Work-in-Process= $1, 400,000
Finished Goods= $920,000.
1) First, we need to calculate the raw materials purchased during the period:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
2,100,000= 500,000 + purchases - 600,000
2,200,000= purchases
2) We need to determine the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 1,000,000 + 26,100,000 - 1,400,000
cost of goods manufactured= $25,700,000
3) To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 500,000 + 25,700,000 - 920,000
COGS= 25,280,000
Handel Company uses the allowance method for estimating uncollectible accounts.
January 5 Sold merchandise to Terry Richman for $2,000, terms n/15.
April 15 Received $600 from Terry Richman on account.
August 21 Wrote off as uncollectible the balance of the Terry Richman account when she declared bankruptcy.
October 5 Unexpectedly received a check for $300 from Terry Richman. It is not felt any more will be received from Richman.
Prepare journal entries to record the above transactions.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation.
Explanation:
January 2
DR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $2,000
CR Sales $2,000
(To record sale of goods to Terry Richman on Account)
April 15
DR Cash $600
CR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $600
(To record cash received from Terry Richman)
August 21
DR Allowance for Doubtful Debt $1,400
CR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $1,400
(To record write off of Terry Richman Account)
October 5
DR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $300
CR Allowance for Doubtful Debt $300
October 5
DR Cash $300
CR Accounts Receivable $300
(To record Cash Received from Terry Richman)
Workings and Notes.
Terry Richman paid $600 out of their $2,000 debt before declaring bankruptcy.
= 2,000 - 600
= $1,400.
This is why $1,400 was the written off figure.
When an Receivables account is written off, it is debited to the Allowance for Doubtful Debt Account.
When money is unexpectedly received after a write off, the amount first has to be retrieved from the Allowance for Doubtful Debt and taken back to the Accounts Receivables and then it can be recorded as Cash received.
TEB budgeted the following production cost for 1,000 units of product for job 588 during 20XX: Direct Materials (DM) 400 pounds at $5 per pound $ 2,000 Direct Labor (DL) 1,500 hours at $15 per hour 22,500 Manufacturing Overhead (MO) 1,500 Machine hours at $10* per machine hour 15,000 Total 39,500 *$60,000 estimated overhead for the year divided by 6,000 estimated machine hours for the year = $10 estimated overhead per machine hour. TEB, Inc. incurred the following actual costs for job 588: Direct Materials (DM) 420 pounds at $5.50 per pound $ 2,310 Direct Labor (DL) 1,540 hours at $14.50 per hour 22,330 Manufacturing Overhead (MO) $62,000 actual overhead for the year; 5,900 actual machine hours; 1,600 actual machine hours used on job 588 ? Compute the total cost (DM, DL, and MO) of job 588 using standard costing Using standard costing, what is the total job cost?
Answer:
Total Product cost for Job 588 is $ 41,453
Explanation:
Direct Materials (DM) = 420 pounds at $5.50 per pound = $ 2,310
Direct Labor (DL) = 1,540 hours at $14.50 per hour = $22,330
Manufacturing Overhead (MO) $62,000
actual overhead for the year; 5,900
actual machine hours; 1,600 actual machine hours used on job
Total Product Cost:
Overhead = ($62,000 ÷ 5,900) × 1600 = $16,813.56
Total Product Cost for Job 588 = $2,310 + $22,330 + $16,813.56
= $ 41,453.56
Total Product cost for Job 588 is $ 41,453

a. Cost of Goods Sold
b. Cash from Operations
c. Total Assets
d. Retained Earnings
e. Depreciation Expense
Answer:
The answer is Option B and E which are Cash from operations and Depreciation expense
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The adjusted entry in recording depreciation is stated below:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
xxx Depreciation Expenses A/c 5,000
Accumulated Depreciation A/c 5,000
Thus,
The Accumulated depreciation will increase or goes higher
Depreciation is on Automobile used by the sales force, The administrative expenses with the selling General expenses will be increased.
Now, the Depreciation here is seen as a Non- Cash Expense, and much later it will be included back in Net Income for computing Cash From Operation, so Cash From Operations would also be increased.
Therefore, the following items that would increase are Cash From Operation, Accumulated Depreciation, Depreciation expense
An adjusting entry should never include Group of answer choices a debit to an expense account and a credit to a liability account a debit to an expense account and a credit to a revenue account a debit to a liability account and a credit to revenue account a debit to a revenue account and a credit to a liability account
Answer:
A debit to an expense account and a credit to a revenue account.
Explanation:
These are journal entries that makes accounting of a business to be properly arranged or said to be in order. Just like in the above sentence, it is should never include a debit to an expense account and a credit to a revenue account.
In certain scenarios, adjusting these journal entries are needed before the financial statements are been issued.
Sometimes when nothing has been inputed in the accounting records for an expenses or revenues in a period, but those expenses and/or revenues did occur and must be included in the current period's income statement and balance sheet. Also something has already been entered in the accounting records, but the amount needs to be divided up between two or more accounting periods.
In large high rise condominiums, each unit is owned by individual owners. The elevators, parking garage, and swimming pool are called: A. proprietary elements B. common area elements C. separate property D. community property
Answer:
B. common area elements
Explanation:
Common Area elements are those spaces in real estate that are meant for general use. They are not owned exclusively by one person but are rather shared by the people who live within the area. The people pay some maintenance fee to keep the common area elements in good conditions.
In condominiums, the elevators, parking garage, and swimming pools are collectively shared by residents, and they all pay for the maintenance of these properties. Therefore, they can be said to be Common Area elements. Common Area elements can be found in residential, business and Government-owned properties.
Answer:
B. common area elements
Explanation:
-Proprietary elements refer to something that has a trademark or it is protected by property rights and can only be used or sold by the owner.
-Common area elements refer to the parts of a condominium that can be used by all the people living there and that belong to all the owners.
-Separate property refers to a property that people get before marriage and doesn't count as part of the marital property.
-Community property refers to property purchased during marriage that is considered marital property.
According to this, the answer is that the elevators, parking garage, and swimming pool are called common area elements.
Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Flint Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $30,400 in fixed costs to the $272,000 currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Mary’s ideas but concerned about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety.
A: Compute the current break-even point in units, and compare it to the break-even point in units if Mary’s ideas are used. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)B: Compute the margin of safety ratio for current operations and after Mary’s changes are introduced. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15%.)C: Prepare a CVP income statement for current operations and after Mary’s changes are introduced. Would you make the changes suggested?
Answer:
A. Current = 17,000, After Mary Ideas = 21,600
B. Current = 15% After Mary Ideas = 10%
C.
Current After Mary Ideas
Sales 800,000 912,000
Less Variable Costs (480,000) (576,000)
Contribution 320,000 336,000
Less Fixed Costs (272,000) (302,400)
Net Income/(Loss) 48,000 33,600
Conclusion :
No will not make the changes
Because they result in decrease in net income by $14,400
Explanation:
A: Compute the current break-even point in units
Current
break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution per unit
= $272,000 / ($40 - $24)
= 17,000 pairs of shoes
Mary ideas
break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution per unit
= ($272,000 + $30,400) / ($38 - $24)
= 21,600 pairs of shoes
B: Compute the margin of safety ratio
Current
margin of safety ratio = Expected Sales - Break even Sales / (Expected Sales)
= (20,000 - 17,000) / 20,000
= 15%
Mary Ideas
margin of safety ratio = Expected Sales - Break even Sales / (Expected Sales)
= (24,000 - 21,600) / 24,000
= 10%

Record the discrepancy in the cash short and over account.) .
a. Journalize the entry to establish the petty cash fund.
b. Journalize the entry to replenish the petty cash fund.
Answer: Please see below
Explanation:
a. Journal to record the entry to establish the petty cash fund.
Account Particulars Debit Credit
Petty Cash $750
Cash $750
b. Journal to record the entry to replenish the petty cash fund.
Account Particulars Debit Credit
Office Supplies $248
Misc Selling Expense $212
Miscellaneous administrative expense, $96.
Cash Short and Over $18
Cash $574
To calculate Cash Short and Over= $750-(248+212+ 96)= 750 -556= $194
but the money in the pettycash fund On April 1 is $212.
therefore Cash short and over = $212-$194 = $18
A Canadian subsidiary of a U.S. parent firm is instructed to bill an export to the parent in U.S. dollars. The Canadian subsidiary records the accounts receivable in Canadian dollars and notes a profit on the sale of goods. Later, when the U.S. parent pays the subsidiary the contracted U.S. dollar amount, the Canadian dollar has appreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar. In this example, the Canadian subsidiary will record a
Answer:
10% foreign exchange loss on the U.S. dollar accounts receivable
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this example the Canadian subsidiary will record a 10% foreign exchange loss on the U.S. dollar accounts receivable. That is because as the Canadian dollar has appreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar, it means that it has lost 10% of it's buying power due to its foreign exchange price change, thus resulting in a loss which needs to be recorded.
Assume the profit margin and dividend payout ratio are constant. By what amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent? Currently, the firm’s sales =$4,700, net income is $420, total assets=7890, dividends=125, A/P =790, LTD= 3130, and common stock=2780, and retained earnings =1190.
Answer:
The amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent is $327,45
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent we would have to make the following calculation:
amount will retained earnings increase=(net income-dividends)*increase percentage
amount will retained earnings increase= ($420-$125)*1.11
amount will retained earnings increase= $ 327.45
The amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent is $327,45

The equipment account had a $36,000 balance at the beginning of the year, and a $30,000 balance at the end of the year. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $22,000 at the beginning of the year, and a $17,000 balance at the end of the year. The income statement reported depreciation expense of $4,000 for the year. Equipment costing $10,000 was sold for its book value. Cash received from the sale to be reported in the Investing Activities section is
Answer:
$1000
Explanation:
The cash received from the equipment sale is equals to the initial cost of the equipment which is $10,000 minus total accumulated depreciation on the equipment charged till date.
Total accumulated depreciation on the equipment=Opening balance of accumulated depreciation+depreciation charge for the year-closing balance of accumulated depreciation
Total accumulated depreciation on the equipment=$22,000+$4,000-$17,000
=$9,000
cash proceeds=$10,000-$9,000=$1000
Karl Corporation was organized on January 2, 2018. During 2018, Karl issued 40,000 shares at $24 per share, purchased 6,000 shares of treasury stock at $26 per share, and had net income of $600,000. What is the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018?
Answer:
$1,404,000
Explanation:
To calculate the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018 you have to use the following formula:
Stockholder’s equity= Paid-up capital+Retained earnings-Treasury stock
Paid-up capital= $24*40,000= $960,000
Retained earnings= $600,000
Treasury stock= $26*6,000= $156,000
Now, you can replace the values on the formula:
Stockholder’s equity= $960,000+$600,000-$156,000
Stockholder’s equity= $1,404,000
According to this, the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018 is $1,404,000.
Let us assume two students must prepare a presentation for their economics class. As part of their class presentation, they must do a series of calculations and prepare 50 PowerPoint slides. It would take James 10 hours to do the required calculation and 10 hours to prepare the slides. It would take Jane 12 hours to do the series of the calculations and 20 hours to prepare the PPT slides. A. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they divide the two tasks equally?B. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides? C. If Larry and Kate have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
Answer:
A. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they divide the two tasks equally?
James needs 10 hours to complete half the task and Jane needs 16 hours to do her part = total work 26 hoursB. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
If they specialize, then Jane should do the calculations (12 hours) and James should prepare the slides (10 hours) = total work 22 hoursC. If James and Jane have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
Yes, Jane should pay James so that he does the whole work all by himself. Since James opportunity cost is $5 per hour, his total economic cost of doing the work is $100, and half of that is $50. Jane's economic cost of doing her part is $60 (= 12 x $5), so if she pays any amount lower than $60 and equal or higher than $50 to James, then they would both win.Explanation:
50 powerpoint slides
James needs 10 hours to do the calculations and 10 hours to prepare the slides = 20 hours total / 2 = 10 hours
Jane needs 12 hours to do the calculations and 20 hours to prepare the slides = 32 hours total / 2 = 16 hours
James's opportunity cost of doing the calculations or preparing the slides is 10 / 10 = 1
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of calculations is 20 / 12 = 1.67 hours of preparing slides.
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of preparing slides is 12 / 20 = 0.6 hours of calculations.
The government of Ruritania has implemented many programs that promote equality, but has become concerned about the very slow rate of growth that has held back their national economy for many years. In order to address this problem, the government is likely to:
Answer: b. reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs
Explanation:
When the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are usually targeted as they usually take a lot of money from the Government's coffers.
It is also a generally held view that reducing taxes as a Fiscal policy can help stimulate the Economy by leaving the public with more funds to invest in and spend on the Economy.
The Government of Ruritania is therefore most likely to combine reducing Social programs as well as reducing taxes. This will have the effect of leaving the Government with some money as it loses revenue from taxes whilst also enabling the public to have more money to invest and to spend which will then lead to Economic growth.
Here the government reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs
For addressing the given problem, the government should do:At the time when the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are should be considered since it take a lot of money from the Government's coffers. Also, the taxes are reduced since Fiscal policy can help stimulate the economy by leaving the public with additional funds to invest in and spend on the Economy.

Chico’s job cost sheet for Job GF1260 shows a total cost of $4,265, including direct labor of 50 hours at $20 per hour. Overhead is applied at 100% of direct labor cost. What is the direct materials cost for Job GF1260? A : $3,455 B : $1,000 C : $2,265 D : $2,895
Answer:
Option C,$2,265 , is correct
Explanation:
Labor cost =direct labor hours*rate per hour
direct labor hours is 50 hours
direct labor cost per hour is $20
labor cost=50*$20=$1,000
Overhead was applied as 100% of direct labor cost
overhead=100%*$1000=$1000
Total cost of job=direct material cost+direct labor+overhead
direct material cost=total cost-direct labor-overhead
direct material cost=$4,265-$1000-$1000=$2,265
The correct option is C,$2,265
Make-or-Buy Decision Somerset Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $24 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows: Direct materials $8.00 Direct labor 12.00 Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80 Total cost per unit $24.80 If Somerset Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 25% of the direct labor costs.

Company should make carrying cases instead of purchasing as this is cheaper by $1.00
Explanation:
There is a choice to be made between Make (Alternative 1) and Buy (Alternative 2). Compute the Total costs for these choices.
Ignore the fixed overheads as they are the same for both alternatives and hence irrelevant.
Choose the alternative with lower costs.
This year, Druehl, Inc., will produce 57 comma 60057,600 hot water heaters at its plant in Delaware, in order to meet expected global demand. To accomplish this, each laborer at the plant will work 160160 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.250.25 hot water heaters per labor hour, how many laborers are employed at the plant
Answer:
The number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers
Explanation:
According to given data Annual output = 57600 water heaters.
So the output per month = 57,600 / 12 months = 4,800 water heaters
Each labor works 160 hours per month
Suppose ,there are x number of laborers employed by the plant. So,x number of laborer will work 160x hours per month. So the labor input = 160x per month
Labor productivity = 0.25
Labor productivity = Output / Labor input
0.25 = 4800 / 160x
25/100 = 4800/160x
160x = (4800 X 100) / 25
160x = 19200
x = 19200/160
x = 120
Therefore, the number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers

Darian and Ivan have been friends since college. They started a limousine rental business from scratch in Philadelphia. They are now contemplating opening an additional location for their business in Baltimore. They have crunched the numbers and discover it would mean adding $2 million more in expenses, and their profit would increase by $250,000 each year for the next 5 years (all other things equal). Darian and Ivan decide
Answer: c) to not open in a new city because the marginal costs prove to be too high.
Explanation:
This decision depends on if the new location will be worth the investment of $2,000,000 put into it. To check whether it will be worth it, the total Revenue expected over the amount of time that the location would be making revenue should be added up. If the sum is greater than $2 million then it is a viable Investment. If it is not, it should not be picked.
The prospective location is estimated to be able to add $250,000 per year in revenue over 5 years.
In 5 years that means
= 250,000 * 5
= $1,250,000 would be made in revenue.
This Revenue of $1,250,000 is far short of the $2 million that will be added in Expenses and so the Investment is not viable.
Darian and Ivan should not open in the new city because the Marginal Cost of Investment is too high to be covered by the Marginal Revenue.
