Clement Manufacturing Company uses two departments to make its products. Department I is a cutting department that is machine intensive and uses very few employees. Machines cut and form parts and then place the finished parts on a conveyor belt that carries them to Department II, where they are assembled into finished goods. The assembly department is labor intensive and requires many workers to assemble parts into finished goods. The companyâs manufacturing facility incurs two significant overhead costs: employee fringe benefits and utility costs. The annual costs of fringe benefits are $420,000 and utility costs are $300,000. The typical consumption patterns for the two departments are as follows:

Department I Department II Total
Machine hours used 20,000 4,000 24,000
Direct labor hours used 2,000 14,000 16,000

The supervisor of each department receives a bonus based on how well the department controls costs. The companyâs current policy requires using a single allocation base (machine hours or labor hours) to allocate the total overhead cost of $720,000.

Required
Assume that you are the supervisor of Department

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Clement Manufacturing Company

a. As the supervisor of Department I:

Using direct labor hour as an allocation base minimizes my department's share of the total overhead cost to $90,000.

b. As the supervisor of Department II:

Using machine hour as an allocation base minimizes my department's share of the total overhead cost to $120,000.

c. Amount allocated to each department:

Single rate:               Department I     Department II

Machine hours         $600,000         $120,000

Direct labor hours        90,000           630,000

d. Allocation rates for the total overhead cost:

Machine hours = $30 per machine hour ($720,000/24,000)

Direct labor hours = $45 per DLH ($720,000/16,000)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Overhead costs:

Fringe benefits = $420,000

Utility costs =          300,000

Total overhead = $720,000

                                   Department I     Department II      Total

Machine hours used        20,000              4,000             24,000

Direct labor hours used     2,000             14,000             16,000

Single allocation base

Machine hour = $720,000/24,000 machine hours

= $30 per machine hour

Direct labor hours = $720,000/16,000

= $45 per direct labor hour

Single rate:               Department I     Department II

Machine hours         $600,000         $120,000

Direct labor hours        90,000           630,000

The best method:

ABC allocation basis:               Department I     Department II

Fringe benefits = $420,000         $52,500         $367,500  based on DLH

Utility costs =          300,000         250,000             50,000  based on MH

Total overhead = $720,000       $302,500          $417,500

b. 240,000
c. 160,000
d. 420,000

Answers

Answer:

b. 240,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total amount of working capital

First step is to calculate the Current assets

Using this formula

Current assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Prepaid insurance

Let plug in the formula

Current assets= $70,000 + 100,000 + 140,000 + 80,000

Current assets= $390000

Second step is to calculate the Current liabilities using this formula

Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries and wages payable

Let plug in the formula

Current liabilities= $130,000 + 20,000

Current liabilities= $75,000

Now let calculate the working capital using this formula

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Working capital = $390,000 - 150,000

Working capital = $240,000

Therefore the Working capital is $240,000

Cardinal Corporation is a trucking firm that operates in the mid-Atlantic states. One of Cardinalâs major customers frequently ships goods between Charlotte and Baltimore. Occasionally, the customer sends last-minute shipments that are outbound for Europe on a freighter sailing from Baltimore. To satisfy the delivery schedule in these cases, Cardinalâs drivers must substantially exceed the speed limit. Cardinal pays for any related speeding tickets. During the past year, two drivers had their licenses suspended for 30 days each for driving at such excessive speeds. Cardinal continues to pay each driverâs salary during the suspension periods. Cardinal believes that it is necessary to conduct its business in this manner if it is to be profitable, maintain the support of the drivers, and maintain the goodwill of customers.

Required:
Evaluate Cardinalâs business practices.

Answers

Answer:

cardinal corporation is unethical in its business operation.

Explanation:

From my own point of view, this business practice is far from being ethical. Encouraging drivers to violate traffic laws and these drivers still get rewarded at the end for the unethical behaviors.

the utilitarianism theory of ethics is being violated. The action of these drivers cannot be of benefits to everybody because by over speeding, they could cause accidents and deaths of people as well as themselves. The countrys law is clearly being violated.

the altruism theory is also being violated. The end result of over speeding by the driver is only of advantage to the company and its customers. The driver could die due to over speeding.

Cardinal Corporation is clearly just about the profit. They are not morally or socially responsible. They may face the loss of goodwill if this is allowed to continue and there is a fatal accident causing loss of lives because they would be made faced with lawsuits.

Marigold Corp. uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 477 units that cost $65 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 715 units at $68 each and 364 units at $70 each. Marigold Corp. also sold 1197 units during the month. Using the LIFO method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for the month?

Answers

Answer:

COGS= $81,770

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 477 units that cost $65 each.

Purchases:

715 units at $68 each

364 units at $70 each.

Units sold= 1,197

To calculate the cost of goods sold under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:

COGS= 364*70 + 715*68 + 118*65

COGS= $81,770

For each of the following unrelated situations, calculate the annual amortization expense and prepare a journal entry to record the expense: A patent with a 10-year remaining legal life was purchased for $350,000. The patent will be commercially exploitable for another eight years. A patent was acquired on a device designed by a production worker. Although the cost of the patent to date consisted of $52,300 in legal fees for handling the patent application, the patent should be commercially valuable during its entire remaining legal life of 10 years and is currently worth $400,000. A franchise granting exclusive distribution rights for a new solar water heater within a three-state area for five years was obtained at a cost of $70,000. Satisfactory sales performance over the five years permits renewal of the franchise for another three years (at an additional cost determined at renewal).

Answers

Answer:

(a) Debit Amortization expense - Patents for $43,750; and Credit Patents for $43,750.

(b) Debit Amortization expense - Patents for $5,230; and Credit Patents for $5,230.

(c) Debit Amortization expense - Franchise for $14,000; and Credit Franchises for $14,000.

Explanation:

(a) A patent with a 10-year remaining legal life was purchased for $350,000. The patent will be commercially exploitable for another eight years.

Annual amortization expenses = Purchase cost of the patent / Number of commercially exploitable years = $350,000 / 8 = $43,750

Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:

General Journal

Description                                             Debit ($)            Credit ($)    

Amortization expense - Patents             43,750

(To record patent amortization.)                                                          

(b) A patent was acquired on a device designed by a production worker. Although the cost of the patent to date consisted of $52,300 in legal fees for handling the patent application, the patent should be commercially valuable during its entire remaining legal life of 10 years and is currently worth $400,000.

Annual amortization expenses = Legal fees / Remaining legal life = $52,300 / 10 = $5,230

Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:

General Journal

Description                                             Debit ($)            Credit ($)    

Amortization expense - Patents             5,230

(c) A franchise granting exclusive distribution rights for a new solar water heater within a three-state area for five years was obtained at a cost of $70,000. Satisfactory sales performance over the five years permits renewal of the franchise for another three years (at an additional cost determined at renewal).

Annual amortization expenses = Cost of acquiring the franchise / Number of years acquired = $70,000 / 5 = $14,000

Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:

Answers

Answer:

$80,940,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimated sales volume in sales dollars that would generate an identical net income for the year ending December 31, 2020

First step is to calculate New Sales commission

New Sales commission = $79,500,000*8%

New Sales commission= 6,360,000

Second step is to calculate Cm ratio

Cm ratio = (79,500,000-6,360,000-33,390,000)/79,500,000 = 50%

Now let calculate the Estimated sales revenue

Estimated sales revenue = (8,670,000+10260000+ 10,159,000+$11,381,000)/.50 = $80,940,000

Therefore the estimated sales volume in sales dollars that would generate an identical net income for the year ending December 31, 2020 will be $80,940,000

The current spot price of WTI Houston Crude Oil Futures, expiring in 1-year, is $43 (per bbl). You can contract storage cost for oil, for one year, at 2% (of the underlying spot price) on a continuously compounded basis. The risk-free rate is 0.5% per annum on a continuously compounded basis. If the current spot price for oil is $40.50, what is the implied convenience yield for this contract?

Answers

Answer:

-3.49%

Explanation:

Theoretical price (Ft) = $43

Current spot price (St) = $40.5

Storage cost (u) = 2%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 0.5%

T = 1 year

Let y = Convenience yield

Ft = St e^(Rf + u - y)T

Answers

Answer:

If product L07E is discontinued, income will decrease by $190,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Current loss= (13,000)

Further investigation has revealed that $223,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $184,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product L07E is discontinued.

To determine whether product L07E should be discontinued or not, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income=  Unavoidable fixed cost - current income

Effect on income= - 203,000 + 13,000

Effect on income= -$190,000

If product L07E is discontinued, income will decrease by $190,000

What is the book value of total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019?

Answers

Answer:

$30,290,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the book value of total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019

First step is to calculate the Paid up share capital

Paid up share capital =200000*10

Paid up share capital=20,00,000

Second step is to calculate the Securities premium

Securities premium=2,00,000*5

Securities premium=10,00,000

Third step is to calculate the Net income after dividend

Net income after dividend=750,000-3,80,000

Net income after dividend=370,000

Fourth step is to calculate the Treasury stock at par value

Treasury stock at par value =8,000*10

Treasury stock at par value=80,00

Now let calculate the total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019

Total Equity share holders Fund=20,00,000+10,00,000+370,000-80,000

Total Equity share holders Fund=$30,290,000

Therefore the book value of total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019 is $30,290,000

Answers

Answer:

the country's economy is in a liquidity trap.

Explanation:

A liquidity trap exists when interest rate are  close to or equal to zero.

When there is a liquidity trap, expansionary monetary supply would not work because people would prefer to hold cash due to the believe that a negative economic event is about to occur e.g. deflation

When there is a liquidity trap, individuals prefer to save their monies rather than buy bonds

Liquidity trap was first discovered by John M. Keynes

Solutions to liquidity trap

1. Policies that would make savings less attractive

2, Increased government spending

Liquidity trap occurred in Japan in the 1990s and this led to a deflation

Answers

Answer: a. increased paperwork at every step of the shipping process.

Explanation:

There is no excerpt attached but this should be the answer.

Having five different factories in China means that Holden Outwear would have to transport things to and fro all five factories including raw materials, intermediate goods and finished goods.

This represents a lot of shipping and shipping comes with paperwork. It would therefore be no surprise if the Holden Outwear is having to go through the bane of increased paperwork for manufacturing at five different factories.

Debit WIP $57,000

Debit MOH $8,000

Credit raw materials $65,000

Explanation:

With regards to the above,

Indirect material used = $8,000 will be debited to manufacturing overhead [MOH]

Direct materials used =$65,000 - $8,000 = $57,000 hence will be debited to work in process account [WIP]

Raw materials will be credited by $65,000

The correct answer would therefore be;

Dr WIP $57,000

Dr MOH $8,000

Cr raw materials $65,000

Answers

Answer:

1. Future worth.

2. Present worth.

3. Annual worth.

4. Internal rate of return.

5. Discounted payback period.

6. External rate of return.

7. Capitalized worth.

Explanation:

Rate of return can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.

In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.

Basically, the rate of return which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.

The measures of worth with an appropriate definition is listed below;

1. Future worth: converts all cash flows to a single sum equivalent at t-(planning horizon) using i = MARR.

2. Present worth: converts all cash flows to a single sum equivalent at t = 0 using i = MARR

3. Annual worth: converts all cash flows to an equivalent uniform series over the planning horizon

4. Internal rate of return: determines an interest rate that yields a PW (or FW or AW) of O

5. Discounted payback period: determines how long it takes for the cumulative present worth to be positive at i = MARR.

6. External rate of return: Determines the interest rate that equates the future worth of invested capital to the future worth of recovered capital invested at i = MARR

7. Capitalized worth: Determines the PW when the planning horizon is infinitely long

Vaughn uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7200 units that cost $14.00 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 3000 units at $15.00 each and 12200 units at $15.50 each. Vaughn also sold 13100 units during the month. Using the FIFO method, what is the ending inventory?

Answers

Answer:

Ending inventory= $144,150

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory consisted of 7200 units that cost $14.00 each.

Purchase:

3000 units at $15.00 each

12,200 units at $15.50 each.

Vaughn also sold 13,100 units during the month.

To calculate the ending inventory using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:

Ending inventory= 9,300*15.5

Ending inventory= $144,150

Paparo Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system:
Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity
Assembly $ 926,800 56,000 machine-hours
Processing orders 68,310 1,800 orders
Inspection $ 103,360 1,360 inspection-hours
Data concerning the company's product Q79Y appear below:
Annual unit production and sales 700
Annual machine-hours 1060
Annual number of orders 80
Annual inspection hours 20
Direct materials cost 51.00 per unit
Direct labor cost $41.17 per unit
According to the activity-based costing system, the average cost of product Q79Y is closest to:_______.

Answers

Answer:

Unitary total cost= $123.74

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rates to allocate costs:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Assembly=  926,800/56,000= $16.55 per machine-hour

Processing orders= 68,310 / 1,800= $37.95 per order

Inspection= 103,360 / 1,360= $76 per inspection-hour

Now, we can allocate costs based on actual activity:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Assembly=  16.55*1,060= 17,543

Processing orders= 37.95*80= 3,036

Inspection= 76*20= 1,520

Total allocated costs= $22,099

Unitary allocated costs= 22,099/700= $31.57

Finally, the unitary total cost:

Unitary total cost= 31.57 + 51 + 41.17

Unitary total cost= $123.74

d. Firms of all brands have free access to this technology. Your roommate Felix has bought a bird that keeps you up at night with its chirping.

Answers

Answer:

Positive externality

Negative externality

positive externality

negative externality

Explanation:

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.  

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax. Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
