Answer:
Ordering and receiving = $7.35 per order
Food processing = $8.49 per machine hour
Packaging = $3.84 per labor hour
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
We can calculate overhead rate by using following formula,
Overhead Rate = Estimated Overhead ÷ Estimated Use of Cost Drivers per Activity
So, by putting the value in the formula, we get
Overhead rate of Ordering and receiving = $117,600 ÷ 16,000 = $7.35 per order
Overhead rate of Food processing = 530,625 ÷ 62,500 = $8.49 per machine hour
Overhead rate of Packaging = 1,701,120 ÷ 443,000 = $3.84 per labor hour
Sam's Dog toys sells a Red toy and a Blue toy. The contribution margin for the Red toy is $5 and for the Blue toy is $10. The expected sales mix is 60% for Red toy and 40% for Blue toy. The total fixed costs amount to $3,000 and the company desires to earn a profit of $500. What is the sale volume in units necessary to reach the desired profit
Answer:
500 units
Explanation:
The computation of the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is shown below:
= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)
= ($3,000 + $500) ÷ ($5 × 60% + $10 × 40%)
= $3,500 ÷ 7
= 500 units
Hence, the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is 500 units
The above formula should be applied to determine the sales units
hence, the same would be considered

Burcham Corporation reported pretax book income of $600,000. Tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $400,000. In addition, the company received $300,000 of tax-exempt municipal bond interest. The company's prior-year tax return showed taxable income of $50,000. Compute the company's book equivalent of taxable income. - Use this number to compute the company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34%.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Pre-tax book income = $600,000
Less: Tax exempt interest = $300,000
Book equivalent of taxable income = $600,000 - $300,000 = $300,000
The company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34% will be:
= 34% × $300,000
= 0.34 × $300,000
= $102,000
On July 1, 20X1, Mirage Company issued $250 million of bonds with an 8% coupon interest rate. The bonds mature in 10 years and pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The market rate of interest on July 1, 20X1, for bonds of this risk class was 8%. Mirage closes its books on December 31. Ignore income taxes.
Required:
a. At what price were the bonds issued?
b. On July 1, 2019, the market interest rate for bonds of this risk class is 6%. What is the fair value of the bonds on this date?
c. Suppose that 50% of the bonds were repurchased for cash on July 1, 2019, at the market price. What journal entry would the company make to record this partial retirement?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. At what price were the bonds issued?
The bonds were issued at $250 million since the issue price will have thesame value as the face value in this case.
b. On July 1, 2019, the market interest rate for bonds of this risk class is 6%. What is the fair value of the bonds on this date?
The fair value of the bond on this date will be:
= {$250,000,000 × 4% × [(1-1.03)^-16]0.03} + {$250,000,000 × (1/1.03)^-16}
= $281402755
c. Suppose that 50% of the bonds were repurchased for cash on July 1, 2019, at the market price. What journal entry would the company make to record this partial retirement?
The journal entry will be:
July 1 ,2019

Explanation:
Discuss the notion of conservation of risk, the reduction of risk in one area is offset by increased risk in another area. As the firm makes capital structure changes, the total risk remains the same. Explain the effect on the cost of equity with the addition of leverage, does the cost of equity increase, decrease or remain constant? Why? What is the impact to the weighted cost of capital does it increase, decrease or remain constant? Why?
Answer:
Part 1
remain constant, costs from different sources
Part 2
decreases, Leverage has a tax shield due to a deduction allowed for interest
Explanation:
Debt is another term used for Leverage. Addition of leverage does not affect the cost of equity. Cost of equity and cost of debt are costs from different sources
However, Leverage has a tax shield due to a deduction allowed for interest. Therefore as more debt is used, the cost of capital decreases. So weighted average cost of capital calculates costs from pooled resources

Oak Corp., a calendar-year corporation, was formed three years ago by its sole shareholder, Glover, and has always operated as a C corporation. However, at the beginning of this year, Glover made a qualifying S election for Oak Corp., effective January 1. Oak Corp. did not have any C corporation earnings and profits on that date. On June 1, Oak Corp. distributed $15,000 to Glover. What are the amount and character of gain Glover must recognize on the distribution, and what is his basis in his Oak Corp. stock in each of the following alternative scenarios?
a. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $35,000.
b. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $8,000.
c. At the time of the distribution, Glover’s basis in his Oak Corp. stock was $0.
Answer:
Oak Corp distributed $15,000 to Glover and we are required to compute the amount and character of gain Glover must recognize under the scenarios as stated in the question:
a. No gain will be recognized by Glover. Rather, his stock basis will be reduced from $35,000 to $20,000 ($35,000 basis - $15,000 cash distribution). So, gain recognized by him is $0.
b. Long term capital gain of $7,000 ($15,000 - $8,000) will be recognized by Glover and his stock basis will be reduced from $8,000 to $0.
c. The entire $15,000 ($15,000-$0) will be recognized as long term capital gain by Glover and his stock basis will remain $0.

Should a room attendant share information with others about a guest if he/she thinks what the guest is doing is morally wrong?
Answer:
No, a room attendant should not share information with others about a guest if he/she thinks what the guest is doing is morally wrong.
Explanation:
Morality is a subjective issue. Even at that, what may be morally wrong can still be legal. Hence, there is no reason for a room attendant to share information with others about a guest if he/she thinks what the guest is doing is morally wrong.
For example, smoking shisha or drinking alcohol may be morally wrong to a room attendant, but it is legal for the guest to do in a guest house or hotel, hence the guest is within his rights to do so. Therefore, there is no need for a room attendant to inform others in as much it is legal.
One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both. is the only structure that organizes employees around specific knowledge or other resources. uses self-directed work teams rather than individuals as the basic building block of organizations. is an alliance of several organizations for the purpose of creating a product or serving a client.
Answer:
overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.
Explanation:
An organizational structure can be defined as the process which typically involves dividing an organization into various functional units.
Basically, the organizational structure comprises of three (3) main dimensions and these are;
I. The vertical dimension: this is typically the decision-making responsibilities (decentralization and centralization).
II. The horizontal dimension: this divides the organization into subunits.
III. Integrating mechanisms: it is based typically on the strategic mechanism that controls the various subunits within an organization.
A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.
These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.
A matrix organizational structure is a type work structure where reporting relationships between employees are set up as a matrix rather than the conventional hierarchy approach. This simply means, there are two (2) chains of command; employees have dual reporting relationships to both a project and functional manager.
The matrix organizational structure can be classified into three (3) categories, these are;
1. Weak matrix structure.
2. Balanced matrix structure.
3. Strong matrix structure.
One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.
MedTech Corp. stock was $55.25 per share at the end of last year. Since then, it paid a $0.45 per share dividend. The stock price is currently $62.50. If you owned 500 shares of MedTech, what was your percent return
Answer:
Percentage Return = 0.13936651584 or 13.936651584% rounded off to 13.94%
Explanation:
To calculate the return percentage, we need to take the total return provided by the share in form of both dividends and capital gains. The total yield or return for the holding period can be calculated as follows,
Percentage Return = [Dividend + P1 - P0] / P0
Where,
P1 is price todayP0 is the purchase pricePercentage Return = [0.45 + 62.50 - 55.25] / 55.25
Percentage Return = 0.13936651584 or 13.936651584% rounded off to 13.94%
Speed World Cycles sells high-performance motorcycles and motocross racers. One of Speed World’s most popular models is the Kazomma 900 dirt bike. During the current year, Speed World Cycles purchased eight of these bikes at the following costs.
Purchase Date Units Purchased Unit Cost Total Cost
July 1 2 $ 4,950 $ 9,900
July 22 3 5,000 15,000
Aug. 3 3 5,100 15,300
8 $ 40,200
On July 28, Speed World Cycles sold four Kazomma 900 dirt bikes to the Vince Wilson racing team. The remaining four bikes remained in inventory at September 30, the end of Speed World’s fiscal year.
Assume that Speed World Cycles uses a perpetual inventory system. (See the data provided.)
Required:
a-1. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using Average cost.
a-2. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using FIFO method.
a-3. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using LIFO method.
b-1. Which of the three cost flow assumptions will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year?
b-2. Which of the three cost flow assumptions minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year?
b-3. May Speed World Cycles use the cost flow assumption that results in the highest net income for the current year in its financial statements, but use the cost flow assumption that minimizes taxable income for the current year in its income tax return?
Answer:
Speed World Cycles
a. Average Cost FIFO LIFO
Cost of goods sold $20,100 $19,900 $20,300
Ending inventory $20,100 $20,300 $19,900
b-1. FIFO will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year, because of the reduced cost of goods sold.
b-2. LIFO minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year, because it reduces the income before taxes.
b-3. Yes. However, the cost flow assumptions self-correct in later years, by which time it is not allowed to be jumping from one cost flow assumption to another.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase Date Units Purchased Unit Cost Total Cost
July 1 2 $ 4,950 $ 9,900
July 22 3 5,000 15,000
Aug. 3 3 5,100 15,300
Total 8 $ 40,200
July 28 Sold 4
September 30 4 (8 - 4)
Average cost = $40,200/8 = $5,025
a-1. Cost of goods sold = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)
Ending inventory = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)
a-2. FIFO:
Ending inventory = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available minus cost of ending inventory
= $40,200 - $20,300
= $19,900
a-3 LIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)
Ending inventory = Cost of goods available minus cost of goods sold
= = $40,200 - $20,300
= $19,900
Last year (2016), Sarasota Condos installed a mechanized elevator for its tenants. The owner of the company, Ron Richter, recently returned from an industry equipment exhibition where he watched a computerized elevator demonstrated. He was impressed with the elevator's speed, comfort of ride, and cost efficiency. Upon returning from the exhibition, he asked his purchasing agent to collect price and operating cost data on the new elevator. In addition, he asked the company’s accountant to provide him with cost data on the company’s elevator. This information is presented below.:
Old Elevator New Elevator
Purchase price $103,500 $159,000
Estimated salvage value 0 0
Estimated useful life 5 years 4 years
Depreciation method Straight-line Straight-line
Annual operating costs
other than depreciation:
Variable $34,000 $11,000
Fixed 23,900 8,200
Annual revenues are $241,000, and selling and administrative expenses are $30,000, regardless of which elevator is used. If the old elevator is replaced now, at the beginning of 2017, Bramble Condos will be able to sell it for $25,900.
Required:
Determine any gain or loss if the old elevator is replaced.
Answer:
$56,900 loss
Explanation:
Calculation to determine any gain or loss if the old elevator is replaced.
First step is to calculate the Book value of old Elevator
Purchase price $103,500
Less: Depreciation expense for the year 2016 (($103,500-0)/5) $ 20,700
Book value of old Elevator $ 82,800
($103,500-$20,700)
Now let calculate any gain or loss if the old elevator is replaced.
Book value of old Elevator $ 82,800
Less: Sold of old Elevator $25,900
Loss on Sales of old Elevator $56,900
Therefore the loss if the old elevator is replaced is $56,900

The Waverly Company has budgeted sales for the year as follows: The ending inventory of finished goods for each quarter should equal 25% of the next quarter's budgeted sales in units. The finished goods inventory at the start of the year is 3,000 units. Scheduled production for the second quarter is (in units): A. 17,500 units. B. 16,500 units. C. 15,000 units. D. 13,000 units.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows,
The Waverly Company has budgeted sales for the year as follows:
Quarter sales in unit
1=12,000
2=14,000
3=18,000
4=16,000
The ending inventory of finished goods for each quarter should equal 25% of the next quarter's budgeted sales in units. The finished goods inventory at the start of the year is 3,000 units. Scheduled production for the second quarter (in units) is:
a.17,500 units.
b.16,500 units.
c.15,000 units.
d.13,000 units.
Answer:
Production = 15000 Units
Option C is the correct answer
Explanation:
To calculate the scheduled production for the second quarter, we first need to find the opening and ending inventory for the third quarter. The ending inventory for each quarter will become the opening inventory for next quarter. It is mentioned in the question that the ending inventory in each quarter is equal to 25% of the next quarter's budgeted sales. Then,
Ending Inventory First Quarter = 0.25 * 14000 = 3500 units
Ending Inventory Second Quarter = 0.25 * 18000 = 4500 units
The production of units in second quarter can be calculated as follows,
Budgeted Sales = Opening Inventory + Production - Closing Inventory
14000 = 3500 + Production - 4500
14000 + 4500 - 3500 = Production
Production = 15000 Units

Explanation:
A product should be shut down if doing so would make the savings in fixed costs associated with the product to exceed the lost contribution. Other wise , the product should remain.
In a shut down decision , the following relevant cash flows should be considered:
1. Lost contribution from the product to be shut down
2. Savings in fixed directly attributable to the product under consideration.
$
Lost contribution from products 2
(15-10)× 20,000 (100,000)
Savings in direct fixed cos 75,000
Net loss from the drop of product 2 (25,000)
Overall operating profit will decrease by $25,000
Mark up is the proportion of cost as profit
Price = cost + (mark-up %× cost
Price = 25 + (30%× 25) = 32.5
Price is $32.5
Chesapeake Inc. acquired a registered trademark for $600,000. The trademark has a remaining legal life of 5 years but can be renewed every 10 years for a nominal fee.

Workings
February Cash sales: 47,000*11% = $47,000 + $5170 = $52,170
February Sales on account: $103,000*11% = $103,000 + $11,330 = $114,330
March Cash sales: $52,170 * 11% = $52,170 + $5738.70 = $57,908.7
March Sales on account: $114,330 * 11% = $114,330 + $12,576.3 = $126,906.3
b. Sales revenue in first quarter = $150,000 + $166,500 + $184,815
Sales revenue in first quarter = $501,315

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $4 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $6 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items? (Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
The total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items will be:
Ammortization value = Patent value / Useful life
= $4,000,000 / 5
= $800,000
Therefore, the ammortization value is $800,000 per year.
Monsanto Company, a large chemical and fibers company, invested $37 million in state-of-the-art systems to improve process control, laboratory automation, and local area network (LAN) communications. The investment was not justified merely on cost savings but was also justified on the basis of qualitative considerations. Monsanto management viewed the investment as a critical element toward achieving its version of the future. What qualitative and quantitative considerations do you believe Monsanto would have considered in its strategic evaluation of these investments
Solution :
The investment which was made by the Monsanto Company had both qualitative as well as quantitative aspects. The quantitative aspect of the investment represents the strategic evaluation which relates to the investment in order to improve the process control and the laboratory automation. While improving the process control helps in controlling the working process of the machines and the human force which reduces the wastage to a large extent, it also increases the efficiency and it reduces the cost per unit.
The laboratory automation increases the efficiency of working and also increases the production. Strengthening the LAN network improves the organizations' communication and also reduces the unnecessary delays in the work saving cost. Improving the local area network provides qualitative improvement and it speeds up the work thus reducing the wastage of time and promotes effective communication.
