by Product Category Quantity Per Unit Cost Market LCM
Tools:
Hammers 100 $4.80 $5.30 $480 ($4.80*100)
Saws 180 9.80 8.80 $1,584 ($8.80*180)
Screwdrivers 280 1.80 2.40 $504 ($1.80*280)
Paint products:
1-gallon cans 480 5.80 4.80 $2,304 ($4.80*480)
Paint brushes 100 3.80 4.30 $380 ($3.80*100)
Total value of inventory (by individual products) = $5,252
by Category:
Tools:
at Cost (100 * $4.80 + 180 * $9.80 + 280 * $1.80) = $3,728
at Market value (100 * $5.30 + 180 * $8.80 + 280 * $2.40) = $2,786
Paint products:
at Cost (480 * $5.80 + 100 * $3.80) = $3,164
at Market value (480 * $4.80 + 100 * $4.30) = $2,734
Total inventory value = $5,520 ($2,786 + $2,734)
by total inventory:
Tools: at cost (100 * $4.80 + 180 * $9.80 + 280 * $1.80) = $3,728
Paint products: at cost (480 * $5.80 + 100 * $3.80) = $3,164
Total = $6,892 ($3,728 + $3,164)
Paint products: at Market value (100 * $5.30 + 180 * $8.80 + 280 * $2.40) = $2,786
Paint products: at Market value ((480 * $4.80 + 100 * $4.30) = $2,734
Total inventory value = $5,521 ($2,786 + $2,735)
Market value is selected since the total is less than the total cost.
The cost of inventory = $6,892
LCM by individual products = $5,252
Write-down = $1,640
The cost of inventory = $6,892
LCM by category = $5,520
Write-down = $1,372
The cost of inventory = $6,892
LCM by total inventory = $5,521
Write-down = $1,371

In 2019 a 90% owned subsidiary had $60,000 of unrealized gains on intercompany sales to its parent. In 2020 the subsidiary sold $200,000 of goods to its parent and had $30,000 of unrealized gains. In 2020 parent reports Cost of Goods Sold of $4,000,000 and sub reports Cost of Goods Sold of $1,000,000. How much is Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
Answer:
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.
Explanation:
A 90% owned subsidiary presents a controlling interest and consolidated financial statements must be prepared by the Parent company.
In preparing consolidated financial statements, any transactions between the parent and subsidiary (Intragroup transactions) must be eliminated.
At Beginning of the year
Recognize the unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows ;
Debit : Retained Earnings $60,000
Credit : Cost of Sales $60,000
During the year 2020
Eliminate unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows
Debit : Cost of Sales $30,000
Credit : Inventory $30,000
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
To determine the Cost of Goods Sold add 100 % of Parent and 100% of Subsidiary and also remember to effect the journals above as follows :
Cost of Goods Sold = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 - $60,000 + $30,000
= $4,970,000
Conclusion
Therefore, Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.
Vaughn Manufacturing, has 14900 shares of 4%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 60000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $102000 dividend in 2020 and in 2021. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021
Answer:
$25,200
Explanation:
The computation of the dividend received by the common stockholder for the year 2021 is shown below:
The Annual preferred dividend is
= 14,900 × $100 × 4%
= $59,600
Dividend due to preferred dividend in 2020
= Arrears of 2019 + Dividend of 2020
= $59,600 + $59,600
= $119,200
But the Dividend Paid in 2020 is $102,000
Arrears of dividend at the end of 2020 (Preferred) is
= $119,200 - $102,000
= $17,200
Now,
Dividend paid to preferred in 2021 = 2021 dividend + Arrears
= $59,600 + $17,200
= $76,800
Now Dividend paid to Common stockholders in 2021 is
= Total dividend - Dividend paid to preferred in 2021
= $102,000 - $76,800
= $25,200

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $76.27 per machine hour
Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $74,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a ten-year service life, with a residual value of $6,450 at the end of ten years. Using the straight-line method, depreciation expense for 2022 and the book value at December 31, 2022, would be: Multiple Choice $6,805 and $54,440. $7,450 and $59,600. $7,450 and $53,150. $6,805 and $60,890.
Answer:
$6,805 and $60,890.
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for 2022 and the book value at December 31, 2022 is shown below;
Depreciation expense is
= (Cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life
= ($74,500 - $6,450) ÷ 10 years
= $6,805
And, the book value is
= $74,500 - ($6,805 × 2)
= $60,890

A state department of health is considering a public awareness campaign to encourage vaccination. It determines that the cost of this campaign would be $760,000 per year for the next 6 years. It estimates that the campaign would reduce rates of illness and communicable disease. At the end of the first year of the campaign, the resulting savings would be $1,000,000; the savings would decrease by $80,000 each of the following 5 years. Assuming a discounting factor of 5%, compute the benefit cost ratio.
Answer:
1.068
Explanation:
The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost
Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs
if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable
If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Present value of the costs
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 6 = $760,000
I = 5
PV = 3,857,525.97
Present value of benefits
Cash flow in year 1 = $1,000,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $1,000,000 - $80,000 = $920,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $920,000 - $80,000 = 840,000
Cash flow in year 4 = 840,000 - $80,000 = 760,000
Cash flow in year 5 = 760,000 - $80,000 = $680,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $680,000 - $80,000 = $600,000
I = 5%
PV BENEFIT = 4,118,252.57
BC ratio = 4,118,252.57 / 3,857,525.97 = 1.068
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

What is the probability of JQH stock providing a return within the range 15% to 20%?Assume that JQH’s returns are normally distributed. The expected return for JQH is 10% and standard deviation is 5%. What is the probability of JQH stock providing a return within the range 15% to 20%?2.5%16%68%13.5%none
Answer:
13.5%
Explanation:
From this question we have the following information
We have mean return = 10
Standard deviation = 5
We use this formula
Z = x - mean/standard deviation
X is between 15 and 20
15< X< 20
= 15-10/5 < Z < 20-10/5
= 1 < z < 2
Using the Statistical table,
P(z < 2) = 0.9772
P(z< 1) = 0.8413
0.9772 - 0.8413 = 0.1359 x 100
= 13.5%
The probability of JQH stock providing a return within the range 15% to 20% = 13.5%

Suppose at December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley Inc.: ending inventory $170,000; beginning inventory $125,000; cost of goods sold $351,050 and sales revenue $761,000.
a. Calculate the inventory turnover for Oakley, Inc.
b. Calculate the days in inventory for Oakley, Inc.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The inventory turnover is
= Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $351,050 ÷ ($170,000 + $125,000) ÷ 2
= $351,050 ÷ $147,500
= 2.38 times
b. Now days in inventory is
= 365 ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 2.38 times
= 153.36 days

Question 1: Sales price variance, sales volume variance, and fixed cost variance
Budgeted Actual
Price $300 $350
Sales volume in units 80 75
Unit VC $100 $120
Fixed costs $100,000 $120,000
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
sales price variance F U
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance F U
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
sales price variance
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
a-1 Sales price variance F U
When the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual price is less than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price in this question, the Sales price variance is favorable (F).
a-2 Sales volume variance F U
When the Actual sales volume in units is greater than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units in this question, the Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
a-3 Fixed cost variance F U
When the Actual Fixed costs is less than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs in this question, the Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
b-1 Calculation of sales price variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual sales volume in units = ($350 - $300) * 75 = $3,750
b-2 Calculation of sales volume variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales volume variance = (Actual sales volume in units - Budgeted sales volume in units) * Budgeted price = (75 - 80) * $300 = -$1,500
b-3 Calculation of fixed cost variance
Fixed cost variance = Actual fixed costs - Budgeted fixed costs = $120,00 - $100,000 = -$20,000
Managers have to consider several contingencies when deciding on the best arrangements for their organizations. One such contingency is the organization's environment, and managers must determine whether a mechanistic or an organic structure will work better under their particular circumstances. This activity is important because the type of organizational structure chosen can be critical to an organization's success. The goal of this exercise is to test your knowledge of the characteristics of these two different organizational structures. Select the most appropriate category (mechanistic or organic structure) for each step of the characteristics of organizations.

Answer:
Mechanistic structures are more centralized in nature. This makes them rigid as decisions come from the top but because there is little micro-management, the company will rely on clear rules for employees to get things done. Communication is vertical.
Organic structures on the other hand, are more decentralized. Communication is horizontal but goes vertical as well and rules are more flexible.
