Finished Goods Inventory 3,024,000 (debit)
Work In Process 3,024,000 (credit)
Explanation:
Equivalent Units of Production Calculation
Materials
Units Completed and Transferred ( 25,200 × 100%) = 25,200
Units in Closing Work In Process ( 2,700 × 100%) = 2,700
Total Equivalent Units of Production = 27,900
Conversion Cost
Units Completed and Transferred ( 25,200 × 100%) = 25,200
Units in Closing Work In Process ( 2,700 × 80%) = 2,160
Total Equivalent Units of Production = 27,360
Calculation of Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production
Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost / Total Equivalent Units of Production
Materials = ( $20,400 + $677,100) / 27,900
= $25.00
Conversion Cost = ( $248,940 + $2,350,260) / 27,360
= $95.00
Total Cost per Equivalent Unit = $120.00
The cost of completed units to finished goods inventory = 25,200 × $120.00 = $3,024,000.
Production Department 1 Production Department 2 Production Department 3 Support Department 1 cost driver 1,400 100 500 Support Department 1’s costs total $142,000. Using the direct method of support department cost allocation, determine the costs from Support Department 1 that should be allocated to each production department.
Answer:
Department 1 cost Allocation =$99,400
Department 2 cost Allocation=$7,100
Department 3 cost Allocation=$35,500
Explanation:
Calculation for determining the costs from Support Department 1 that should be allocated to each production department using the direct method of support department cost allocation,
The first step is to find the Support department total cost drivers
Using this formula
Support department total cost drivers = Production Department 1 + Production Department 2 + Production Department 3
Let plug in the formula
Support department total cost drivers= 1,400+100+500
Support department total cost drivers = 2,000
Second step is to determine the costs from Support Department 1 that should be allocated to each production department.
Production Department 1
Support Department 1 Allocation
142,000* 1,400/2,000= $99,400
Production Department 2
Support Department 1 Allocation
142,000 * 100/2,000= $7,100
Production Department 3
Support Department 1 Allocation
142,000* 500/2,000= $35,500
Therefore the costs from Support Department 1 that should be allocated to each production department will be :
Department 1 cost Allocation =$99,400
Department 2 cost Allocation=$7,100
Department 3 cost Allocation=$35,500
"In your opinion, how has social media affected customer service in a broad sense? Provide evidence that supports your opinion."
Explanation:
Social media directly impacted the relationship between consumer and company.
First, you need to consider how the internet and social media are widely used by thousands of people around the world as a way to connect with others and exchange information.
Realizing this phenomenon, companies decided to use social media as a way to interact with their customers and attract more audiences. Social media works as a space where the construction of the relationship takes place more instantly and a little less formally, which allows for more in-depth interaction and the creation of a valuable relationship between company and customer.
Through the social media it is possible that the time of an answer for example is drastically reduced, which alters the consumer perception in a positive way.
It is also possible that companies use social media as a tool to improve relationship marketing, which is the creation of value for the customer through content, photos and posts, which generate engagement, approximation, loyalty and connection with consumers.
Mountain Top Markets has total assets of $48,700, net working capital of $1,100, and retained earnings of $21,200. The firm has 12,500 shares of stock outstanding with a par value of $1 per share and a market value of $7.10 per share. The stock was originally issued to the firm's founders at par value. What is the market-to-book ratio
Answer: 2.63
Explanation:
The Market to Book ratio is also referred to as the price to book ratio. It is a financial evaluation of the market value of a company relative to its book value. It should be noted that the market value is current stock price of every outstanding shares that the company has while the book value is the amount that the company will have left after its assets have been liquidated and all liabilities have been repaid.
The market-to-book ratio will be the market price per share divided by the book value. It should be noted that the book value per share is the net worth of the business divided by the number of outstanding shares. The book value will be:
= [(12500 ×1) + $21200]/12500
= ($12500 + $21200)/$12500
= $33700/12500
=$2.70
The market-to-book ratio will now be:
= $7.10/$2.70
=2.63
Shelton Co. purchased a parcel of land six years ago for $871,500. At that time, the firm invested $143,000 in grading the site so that it would be usable. Since the firm wasn't ready to use the site itself at that time, it decided to lease the land for $53,000 a year. The company is now considering building a warehouse on the site as the rental lease is expiring. The current value of the land is $923,000. What value should be included in the initial cost of the warehouse project for the use of this land
Answer:
$923,000
Explanation:
In order to determine the value included in the initial investment of a new project, we must use the opportunity cost of the land. In this case, the opportunity cost of using the land equals its current market value = $923,000.
When considering and evaluating this new project, all prior costs are considered sunk costs because they cannot be recovered.
Partners, LLC members and S Corporation shareholders are not taxed on the amount they withdraw from the entity in a nonliquidating distribution when they have sufficient basis (disregarding any other limitation).
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Partners: True
LLC: True
S Corporation: False
Explanation:
When dividends are withdrawn from a business tax is only due on a S Corporation because the tax paid for the profits of an organization is not by the stockholder withdrawing the dividends which is why when dividend is withdrawn the tax is to be paid.
When dividends are withdrawn in a partnership or and LLC then no tax is payable as tax is already paid on the profits made by the business that is why dividends are not taxable when withdrawn.
Berning Company purchased a tractor at a cost of $180,000. The tractor has an estimated salvage value of $20,000 and an estimated life of 8 years, or 10,000 hours of operation. The tractor was purchased on January 1, 2016 and was used 2,400 hours in 2016 and 2,100 hours in 2017. On January 1, 2018, the company decided to sell the tractor for $70,000. Berning uses the units-of-production method to account for the depreciation on the tractor.
Based on this information, the entry to record the sale of the tractor will show:
Select one:
A. A loss of $38,000
B. A gain of $70,000
C. A loss of $70,000
D. No gain or loss on the sale
Answer:
A. A loss of $38,000
Explanation:
Total depreciation on the tractor = (180,000 - 20,000) * (2,400 + 2,100) / 10,000 = $72,000
Net book value on January 1, 2018 = 180,000 - 72,000 = $108,000
Loss on sale = 70,000 - 108,000 = $38,000
Marshall has received an inheritance and wants to invest a sum of money today that will yield $5,400 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Assuming he can earn an interest rate of 5% compounded annually, how much of his inheritance must he invest today
Answer:
$3,315.13
Explanation:
To determine the amount of inheritance Marshall should invest today, we have to calculate the present value of $5,400.
PV = FV (1 + r)^-n
FV = Future value = $5,400
P = Present value
R = interest rate 5%
N = number of years 10
$5400(1.05^-10) = $3,315.13

Charlie’s Furniture Store has been in business for several years. The firm's owners have described the store as a "high-price, high-service" operation that provides lots of assistance to its customers. Margin has averaged a relatively high 34% per year for several years, but turnover has been a relatively low 0.4 based on average total assets of $800,000. A discount furniture Store is about to open in the area served by Charlie's, and management is considering lowering prices to compete effectively.Required:a. Calculate current sales and ROI for Charlie’s Furniture Store. (Round your "ROI" to 1 decimal place.)b. Assuming that the new strategy would reduce margin to 20%, and assuming that average total assets would stay the same, calculate the sales that would be required to have the same ROI as Charlie’s currently earns. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)c. Suppose you presented the results of your analysis in parts a and b of this problem to Charlie, and he replied, "What are you telling me? If I reduce my prices as planned, then I have to practically double my sales volume to earn the same return?" Given the results of your analysis, what is the actual amount of increase in sales required? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)d. Now suppose Charlie says, "You know, I'm not convinced that lowering prices is my only option in staying competitive. What if I were to increase my marketing effort? I'm thinking about kicking off a new advertising campaign after conducting more extensive market research to better identify who my target customer groups are." In general, explain to Charlie what the likely impact of a successful strategy of this nature would be on margin, turnover, and ROI.
Answer:
a. Calculate current sales and ROI for Charlie’s Furniture Store.
asset turnover formula = net sales / average assets
0.4 = net sales / $800,000
net sales = $320,000
ROI = net income / investment
net income = $320,000 x 34% = $108,800
ROI = $108,800 / $800,000 = 13.6%
b. Assuming that the new strategy would reduce margin to 20%, and assuming that average total assets would stay the same, calculate the sales that would be required to have the same ROI as Charlie’s currently earns.
net income = net sales x 20% (new margin)
net sales = $108,800 / 20% = $544,000
c. Suppose you presented the results of your analysis in parts a and b of this problem to Charlie, and he replied, "What are you telling me? If I reduce my prices as planned, then I have to practically double my sales volume to earn the same return?" Given the results of your analysis, what is the actual amount of increase in sales required?
sales increase = ($544,000 - $320,000) / $320,000 = 70% increase
d. Now suppose Charlie says, "You know, I'm not convinced that lowering prices is my only option in staying competitive. What if I were to increase my marketing effort? I'm thinking about kicking off a new advertising campaign after conducting more extensive market research to better identify who my target customer groups are." In general, explain to Charlie what the likely impact of a successful strategy of this nature would be on margin, turnover, and ROI.
An extensive market research and a "successful" marketing campaign are generally expensive. Even if the marketing campaign is really successful in increasing sales, costs would also increase. So the equation may or may not change, depending if the contribution margin of the additional units sold will be able to cover the expenses of a complex marketing campaign. If you spend $100 to earn $100 more, your situation hasn't changed at all. Which means that net income may or may not increase, therefore, the profit margin, ROI and asset turnover may not change.
Suppose a stock had an initial price of $70 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $82.
Requried:
a. Compute the percentage total return.
b. What was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield?
Answer:
Stock, Dividend, and Yield:
a) Computation of the percentage total return:
Total return = Dividend + Capital appreciation = $14.30 ($2.30 + $12)
Percentage of total return = $14.30/$70 x 100 = 20.43%
b1) Dividend yield = Dividend per share / price per share = $2.30/$70 = 0.032857 or 3.29%
b2) Capital gains yield = (Current price - initial investment)/ initial investment = ($82 - $70)/$70 = 0.1714 or 17%
Explanation:
a) The Dividend yield is a financial ratio (dividend/price) that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price.
b) Capital gains yield is the percentage price appreciation on an investment. It is calculated as the increase in the price of an investment, divided by its original acquisition cost. For instance, an equity security that is purchased for $700 and later sold for $825, the capital gains yield is 17.86%.
c) The total return from an investment is the sum of the dividend or interest received plus capital gains.
Grandiose Growth has a dividend growth rate of 10%. The discount rate is 8%. The end-of-year dividend will be $5 per share.

Answer:
Year 1 2 3
Present value 5.09 5.19 5.28
Explanation:
The Present Value of a future sum is the worth today where the sum is discounted at a particular rate of return.
The formula below would be of help to work out the Present Value
Present Value = FV× (1+r)^(-n)
FV - Future Value, r- rate of return, n- number of years
Present value = $5× 1.10× 1.08^(-1)= 5.092
Present Value = $5× 1.10^2×1.08^(-2)= 5.186
Present Value in year 3 = $5× 1.10^3×1.08^(-3)= 5.28
Year 1 2 3
Present value = 5.092 5.186 5.28
One of the most useful applications of business statistics involves comparing two samples to examine whether a difference between them is significant or more likely due to chance variation from one sample to the next.1. True2. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Using the p-value (probability of error) approach to hypothesis testing, business analysts are able to compare two samples to see if they are statistically significant or just different by chance.
They compare the data between the two samples and express a p-value. They also set a significance level with the logic being that if the p-value is below the significance level then the difference between the samples is significant.
For example, with a significance level of 0.05, a p-value below this would mean that the difference is significant.

On January 1, 2010, the balance in Tabor Co.'s Allowance for Bad Debts account was $13,085. During the first 11 months of the year, bad debts expense of $21,937 was recognized. The balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts account at November 30, 2010, was $9,919.Required:(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months? (Hint: Make a T-account for the Allowance for Bad Debts account.)Bad debt write offs $(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $
Answer:
(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?
bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103
(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $
to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:
Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469
Cr Accounts receivable 469
Total revenue equals the price multiplied by the quantity. The relative change price and quantity is given by the concept of ________________.
Answer: elasticity
Explanation:
Elasticity has to do with how the changes in price affects the quantity I goods and services that are demanded by the consumers in the market.
Sometimes, a change in price may lead to either a larger change in the quantity demand or it ma lead to a minimal effect on the quantity of good demanded. This is the concept of elastic and inelastic demand.
OS Environmental provides cost-effective solutions for managing regulatory requirements and environmental needs specific to the airline industry. Assume that on July 1 the company issues a one-year note for the amount of $5.2 million. Interest is payable at maturity.
Determine the amount of interest expense that should be recorded in a year-end adjusting entry under each of the following independent assumptions:
Interest rate Fiscal year-end Interest expense
12% December 31
10% September 30
9% October 31
6% January 31
Answer:
In accrual basis accounting, expenses are recorded in the period when their matching revenues are obtained.
In this case, even if the full interest will be paid at maturity, interest expense will still be recorded in each period according to the information that we are given in the question.
Interest expense to be recorded by December 31
5,200,000 * 0.12 = 624,000 / 2 = 312,000
Interest expense to be recorded by September 30
5,200,000 * 0.10 = 520,000 * 3/12 = 130,000
Interest expense to be recorded by October 31
5,200,000 * 0.09 = 468,000 * 4/12 = 156,000
Interest expense to be recorded by January 31
5,200,000 * 0.06 = 312,000 * 7/12 = 182,000
You are interested in buying a share of stock in CAD Corporation. You expect a dividend payment of $0.50 next year and that the dividend will grow by 5% per year thereafter. You desire a 10% return on your purchase. According to the Gordon growth model, what is the maximum price you would pay for a share of this stock?a. $20.00b. $15.00c. $12.50d. $10.00
Answer: d. $10.00
Explanation:
The Gordon Growth Model allows for the valuation of a stock based on its anticipated dividends (which can be determined from it's growth rate if not given) and required return.
The formula is;
Stock Price = Next Dividend / ( required return - growth rate)
= 0.50 / ( 10% - 5%)
= 0.50 / 5%
= $10
the government believes that the equilibrium price is too low and tries to help almond growers by settinga price floor at Pf. What are represents the portion of consumer surplus that have been transsferred to produce surplus as a result of the price floor.
Answer: D) B
Explanation:
The Producer Surplus refers to the area below the Price Floor but above the Supply Curve and left of the new Quantity supplied. It comprises of areas B and E.
Before the Price Floor was introduced, area A, B and C were the Consumer Surplus as they were above the price but below the Demand Curve.
After the Price Floor was introduced however, area B has become a Producer Surplus.
Mary makes monthly deposits of $450 at the end of each month over 25 consecutive years to support her retirement. If the account earns an interest rate of 7.5%, which amount comes closest to the value of the deposits at the end?
a. $120,938
b. $343,343
c. $382,667
d. $394,767
e. $367,100
Answer:
d. $394,767
Explanation:
For computing the amount of deposit at the end we need to apply the future value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $0
Rate of interest = 7.5% ÷ 12 months = 0.625%
NPER = 25 years × 12 months = 300 months
PMT = $450
The formula is shown below:
= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the future value is $394,767
The financial statement effects of the budgeting process are summarized on the cash budget and the capital expenditures budget. true or false

Explanation:
Simko Company issued $750,000, 8-year, 6 percent bonds on January 1, 2018. The bonds were issued for $710,000. Interest is payable annually on December 31. Using straight-line amortization, prepare journal entries to record (a) the bond issuance on January 1, 2018, and (b) the payment of interest on December 31, 2018.
Answer:
Bond issuance:
Dr cash $710,000
Dr discount on bonds payable $40,000
Cr bonds payable $750,000
The payment of interest on December 31, 2018:
Dr interest expense $50,000
Cr discount on bonds payable $5000
Cr cash $45,000
Explanation:
The bonds were issued at a discount to their face value, as a result, the discount on bonds payable is computed thus:
discount on bonds payable=$750,000-$710,000=$40,000
Bonds payable would be credited with $750,000 while cash and discount on bonds payable would be debited with $710,000 and $40,000 respectively
annual discount amortization=$40,000/8=$5000
annual coupon=$750,000*6%=$45000
Mr. Hudson notes that if he produces 10 pairs of shoes per day, his average fixed cost (AFC) is $14 and his marginal cost is $8; if he produces 20 pairs of shoes per day, his MC is $15. What is his AFC when output is 20 pairs of shoes per day
Answer:
Average fixed cost for 20 units = $7
Explanation:
The fixed costs are cost are expenditures that do not vary with the activity level within a given range. Unlike variable costs, fixed costs are tend to be unaffected in the short run by amount of production work done or service rendered.
The units produced will not have an impact on the total fixed costs but rather on the average fixed cost. The average fixed cost would become lower as the units produced increases.
Average fixed cost = Total fixed cost / Total units produced.
Hence , Total fixed cost = Average fixed cost × units produced
DATA
AFC - $14
Units - 10 units
Total fixed cost = 10 × 14 = $140
Average fixed cost for 20 units =Total fixed cost / Number of units
140/20 = $7
Average fixed cost for 20 units = $7
Suppose that Italy and Germany both produce rye and cheese. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 bushels of rye while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 10 bushels of rye.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that ? ( Italy OR Germany? ) has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and ? ( Italy OR Germany? ) has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
Suppose that Italy and Germany consider trading cheese and rye with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than ? (1 bushel , 1/10 bushel,1/5 bushel,5 bushel,10 bushel ?) of rye for each pound of cheese it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ? (1 pound , 1/10 pound ,1/5 pound ,5 pound ,10 pound ?) of cheese for each bushel of rye it exports to Italy.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of rye) would allow both Germany and Italy to gain from trade? Check all that apply.
6 bushels of rye per pound of cheese
7 bushels of rye per pound of cheese
4 bushels of rye per pound of cheese
1 bushel of rye per pound of cheese
Answer:
Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese.
Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
5 bushels of rye
1/10 pound of cheese
6 bushels of rye per pound of cheese
7 bushels of rye per pound of cheese
Explanation:
Italy: 1 pound of cheese = 5 bushels of rye
Germany: 1 pound of cheese = 10 bushels of rye
Therefore, the opportunity cost of producing one pound of cheese in Italy is lower than the cost of producing one pound of cheese in Germany, which means that Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese. The opposite can be said about rye since it costs the Germans only half a pound of cheese to produce 5 bushels of rye, while it costs the Italians a whole pound. Therefore, Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
This means that Italy can gain from specialization if it gains more than 5 bushels of rye for each pound of cheese.
As for Germany, can gain from specialization if it gains more than 1/10 pound of cheese for each bushel of rye.
Therefore, from the alternatives presented, the following would represent a gain from trade for both countries:
6 bushels of rye per pound of cheese
7 bushels of rye per pound of cheese

In response to the financial crisis that began in 2007, the government began to bail out banks deemed "too big to fail." Critics of this action argued that this would create the prospect of future bailouts and encourage banks to be fiscally irresponsible in the future. This illustrates
Answer:
The moral hazard problem
Explanation:
Moral hazard problem is defined as a situation where a party gets involved in a risky venture knowing that another party will incur the cost of failure.
For example if a borrower knows that he can take borrowed funds and default easily, he will tend to not pay back because the lender will bear the loss.
During the the financial crisis that began in 2007, the government began to bail out banks deemed "too big to fail."
This created fiscal irresponsibility in banks that knew if they are at risk of failing they will be bailed out by the government.
Ridley Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $4,057,500 for indirect labor and $600,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. If 115,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40.5 per machine-hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead:
Indirect labor= $4,057,500
Factory utilities= $600,000
Total overhead= $4,657,500
Estimated machine-hours= 115,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 4,657,500/115,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40.5 per machine-hours
