Answer:
d. 92 units.
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production used to compute conversion costs is shown below:
= 20 units × 40% + (100 units - 20 units) × 100% + 10 units × 40%
= 8 units + 80 units + 4 units
= 92 units
Hence, the equivalent units of production used to compute conversion costs is 92 units

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.
1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?
2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?
If a government wants to efficiently reduce a widespread negative externality like air pollution, it must know the costs of pollution abatement of the individual polluters. However, this information is difficult to obtain directly. Tradeable emissions permits are one way to solve the asymmetric information problem affecting pollution abatement efforts.
a. Because the permits are tradeable, firms with ___ abatement costs will sell some of their permits to firms with ___ abatement costs.
b. Now consider that even after a firm has sold its permits, it must still reduce its pollution output.
Since those who sell their permits would have ___ abatement costs, the negative externality is reduced at ___ possible cost to society.
Answer:
a). lower, higher
b). lower, lower
Explanation:
The abatement costs may be defined as the cost that is borne by a firm or an organization when it is necessary to remove any undesirable nuisances or any negative byproducts of the process that is created during the production process. It is cost incurred in eliminating a negative externality such as environmental externality like pollution.
In the context, for solving the pollution abatement cost, the tradeable emissions permits as they are tradebale, an organization with a lower abatement cost sells the permits to the higher abatement cost firms.
Even after selling, the firm still have to reduce the pollution output, then the firm that sold the permit would have lower abatement cost and the negative externality is also reduced at the lower possible cost.
You are asked to assess the current service model for a manufacturing line featuring 8 machines. Based on empirical data you have determined that machines have a 23% likelihood of being down and in need of repair. There are currently 2 workers capable of running and repairing machines. Each of the 8 machines can produce 18 units/hour. The overhead for running each of the 8 machines is $713 per day per machine. Each operator is paid at an hourly rate of $15. [You can assume an 8-hour work day]
a. Determine the total amount of lost work time.
b. Should you hire an additional worker to run the 8 machines in this manufacturing line?
Answer:
A) 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Explanation:
Number of machines on manufacturing line = 8
percentage of machine been down = 23%
number of workers capable of running and repairing machines = 2
machine productivity ( per machine ) = 18 units/hour
overhead cost / machine = $713
hourly rate paid per worker = $15
Total number of work hours = 8 hour
A) calculate Total amount of lost worktime
= number of machines * Total number of work hours * 23%
= 8 * 8 * 23% = 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours

Xie Company identified the following activities, costs, and activity drivers for this year. The company manufactures two types of go-karts: Deluxe and Basic. Activity Expected Costs Expected Activity Handling materials $ 625,000 100,000 parts Inspecting product 900,000 1,500 batches Processing purchase orders 105,000 700 orders Paying suppliers 175,000 500 invoices Insuring the factory 300,000 40,000 square feet Designing packaging 75,000 2 models Required: Compute the activity rate for each activity, assuming the company uses activity-based costing. (Round activity rate answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Handling materials = $6.25 per part
Inspecting product = $600 per batch
Processing purchase = $150 per order
Handling materials = $350 per invoice
Insuring the factory = $7.50 per square feet
Designing packaging = $37,500 per model
Explanation:
Activity rate = Estimated Cost ÷ Estimated Activity
therefore,
Handling materials = $ 625,000 ÷ 100,000 parts = $6.25
Inspecting product = $ 900,000 ÷ 1,500 batches = $600
Processing purchase = $ 105,000 ÷ 700 orders = $150
Handling materials = $ 175,000 ÷ 500 invoices = $350
Insuring the factory = $ 300,000 ÷ 40,000 square feet = $7.50
Designing packaging = $ 75,000 ÷ 2 models = $37,500

Jamie is considering leaving her current job, which pays $75,000 per year, to start a new company that develops applications for smartphones. Based on market research, she can sell about 50,000 units during the first year at a price of $4 per unit. With annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounting to $145,000. Jamie expects a profit margin of 20 percent. This margin is 5 percent larger than that of her largest competitor, Apps. Inc.

Accounting costs: $_____
Implicit costs: $_____
Opportunity costs: $_____
b. Suppose that Jamie's estimated selling price is lower than originally projected during the first year. How much revenue would she need in order to earn positive accounting profits? Positive economic profits?
Revenue needed to earn positive accounting profits: $______
Revenue needed to earn positive economic profits:
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point A:
Cost with accounting=The actual manufacturing expenditures or spendings that appear on expensive sports or record of a company= [tex]\$ 145,000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Costs = gross pay} = 50000 \times 4 - 1.2 \times1,45,000 = 26000\\\\{ total \ cost = 120 \% \ of\ 145,000}[/tex]
Cost opportunity=75,000
Total revenue required besides positive accounting benefits=cost of accounting =145000
Income to create positive economic benefits=cost of accounts + implied cost
[tex]= 145000+26000=171000[/tex]
For point B:
Income required to make positive profit in accounts = 145,000 more than the accounting costs
Revenue necessary to earn positive profit = 220,000 more than opportunity cost

Find the accumulated value of $ 740 at the end of 7 years using a nominal annual rate of interest of 6 % compounded quarterly.
Answer:
$1122.74
Explanation:
We are to find the future value of $740
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r/m)^nm
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate = 6
N = number of years = 7
m = number of compounding = 4
$740 x (1 + 0.06/4)^7x4 = $1122.74
Abbey Park was organized on April 1, 2016, by Trudy Crawford. Trudy is a good manager but a poor accountant. From the trial balance prepared by a part-time bookkeeper, Trudy prepared the following income statement for the quarter that ended March 31, 2017.
Abbay Park
Income statement
For the quarter ended March 31,2017
Revenues 83000
Rent Revenue
Operating expenses
Advertising expense 4200
Salaries and wages expense 27600
Utilities expense 1500
Depreciation expense 800
Maintenance expense 2800
Total operating expense 36900
Net income 46100
Trudy knew that something was wrong with the statement because net income had never exceeded $20,000 in any one quarter. Knowing that you are an experienced accountant, she asks you to review the income statement and other data. You first look at the trial balance. In addition to the account balances reported in the income statement, the ledger contains these selected balances at March 31, 2017.
Supplies 4500
Prepaid insurance 7200
Notes payable 20000
You then make inquiries and discover the following.
1. Rent revenue includes advanced rentals for summer-month occupancy, $21,000.
2. There were $600 of supplies on hand at March 31.
3. Prepaid insurance resulted from the payment of a 1-year policy on January 1, 2017.
4. The mail on April 1, 2017, brought the following bills: advertising for week of March 24, $110; repairs made March 10, $1,040; and utilities $240.
5. Wage expense totals $290 per day. At March 31, 3 days’ wages have been incurred but not paid.
6. The note payable is a 3-month, 7% note dated January 1, 2017. Instructions With the class divided into groups, answer the following.
(a) Prepare a correct income statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
(b) Explain to Trudy the generally accepted accounting principles that she did not follow in preparing her income statement and their effect on her results.
Answer:

Insurance expense 1,800
Interest expense 350
Total operating expense 45,210
Net income $16,790
b) The generally accepted accounting principles that Trudy did not follow in the preparation of her income statement are the accrual concept and the matching principle. Failure to follow these principles means that the net income will be misstated. The accounts were based on the cash basis instead of the accrual basis of generally accepted accounting principles. This means that records for non-cash transactions were not recognized while some others were recognized based on their cash effects.

The County legislature approved its 2020 budget. Revenues from property taxes are estimated to be $800,000. The assessed value of all the property in the county is $40 million. The County has received certificates for property tax exemption of consisting of $3 million for homestead exemptions, $1.3 million for veterans, $700,000 for old age, and $5 million for nonprofits. In addition, the County believes all property taxes will be collectible. What property tax rate per $1,000 of net assessed value must the County charge to collect sufficient property taxes to meet its $800,000 estimate?
A. $16 for each $1,000 of net assessed value.
B. $2.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value
C. $20 for $1,000 of net assessed value
D. $26.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value
Answer:
The County
The property tax rate per $1,000 of net assessed value that the County must charge to collect sufficient property taxes to meet its $800,000 estimate is:
D. $26.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated Revenues from Property Taxes = $800,000
Assessed value of property in the county = $40 million
Exempted property in the county:
Homestead = $3.0 million
Veterans = 1.3 million
Old age = 0.7 million
Nonprofits = 5.0 million
Total exemptions = $10 million
Therefore, net assessed value = $30 million ($40 - 10 million)
Chargeable Rate per $1,000 = $800,000/$30,000,000 * 1,000 = $26.67
1) Consider the single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 19%. Portfolio B has a beta of .6 and an expected return of 15%. The risk-free rate of return is 11%. If you wanted to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity, you should take a short position in portfolio __________ and a long position in portfolio
Answer:
A, B.
Explanation:
E(r) = Rf + beta (Risk premium on factor)
PORTFOLIO A
19% = 11% + 1.7(RP)
19% - 11% = 1.7(RP)
(RP) = 0.08/1.7
(RP) = 0.047059
(RP) = 4.706%
PORTFOLIO B
15% = 11% + 0.6(RP)
15% - 11% = 0.6(RP)
(RP) = 0.04/0.6
(RP) = 0.06667
(RP) = 6.667%
As risk premium is lower in case of portfolio A, the correct strategy is Short Position in Portfolio A and Long Position in Portfolio B

A. 57,056 pounds
B. 44,480 pounds
C. 43,712 pounds
D. 70,400 pounds
If 41,920 pounds of raw materials are required for production in September, then the budgeted cost of raw material purchases for August is closest to:__________
A. $57,056
B. $43,712
C. $44,480
D. $70,400
The estimated direct labor cost for August is closest to:____________
A. $465,000
B. $684,992
C. $31,136
D. $244,640
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Production Unit For August
= 11300 + (10400 × 20%) - (11300 × 20%)
= 11120 Units
Now Raw material purchase is
= (11120 × 4) + (41920 × 30%) - (11120 × 4*30%)
= 43712 Pounds
Raw material purchase Cost is
= 43712 × 1
= $43,712
The Direct labor cost is
= 11120 × 2.8 × 22
= $684,992
John, Lesa, and Trevor form a limited liability company. John contributes 60 percent of the capital, and Lesa and Trevor each contribute 20 percent. Nothing is decided about how profits will be divided. John assumes that he will be entitled to 60 percent of the profits in accordance with his contribution. Lesa and Trevor, however, assume that the profits will be divided equally. A dispute over the profits arises, and ultimately a court has to decide the issue. What law will the court apply
Answer: State Law.
Explanation:
This dispute falls under the jurisdiction of state law and so that is what the court will use. This is unless the company established a profit-sharing agreement as per the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (ULLCA) and the state that they are in is one of the 19 states and District that enacted the UCCLA.
As the company never established a profit agreement principle, this falls under State law which normally calls for the division of profits equally amongst partners.
A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean amount spent (S) on Amazon.com by Amazon Prime member shoppers. Suppose a random sample of 100 Amazon Prime member shoppers who recently made a purchase on Amazon.com yielded a mean of $1,500.
a. Suppose the standard deviation of the amount spent ($) on Amazon.com is $200. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean spending for all Amazon Prime member shoppers.
b. Suppose the standard deviation of the sample of 100 Amazon Prime member shoppers is $200. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean spending for all Amazon Prime member shoppers.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a)
Given that mean (μ) = $1500, standard deviation (σ) = $200, sample size (n) = 100
confidence (C) = 95% = 0.95
α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
α/2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025
The z score that corresponds with 0.475 (0.5 - 0.025) is 1.96. Therefore the margin of error (E) is:
[tex]E = z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=1.96*\frac{200}{\sqrt{100} } =39.2\\[/tex]
The confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (1500 ± 39.2) = (1500 - 39.2, 1500 + 39.2) = (1460.8, 1539.2)
The confidence interval is between $1460.8 and $1539.2.
b) Given that mean (μ) = $1500, standard deviation for 100 samples = σ /√n = $200,
confidence (C) = 95% = 0.95
[tex]E = z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=1.96*200=392\\[/tex]
The confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (1500 ± 392) = (1500 - 392, 1500 + 392) = (1108, 1892)
The confidence interval is between $1108 and $1892.
The Oxford Company uses a job order cost system and applies factory overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. During the month of July, the following activities took place in the work-in-process account:
Beginning $15,000
Direct materials 10,000
Direct labor 30,000
Overhead applied 15,000
 Â
At the end of July, only one job (Job #15), was still in process. This job has been charged with $2,000 of direct materials cost.
Required:
Determine the amount of direct labor cost incurred and overhead applied in the ending inventory of work-in-process on July 31.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The amount of direct labor cost incurred is computed as;
= $30,000/$70,000 × $2,000
= $857
Overhead applied in ending working in the ending inventory of work in process on July 31
= $15,000/$70,000 × $2,000
= $429

Sorter Company purchased equipment for $330,000 on January 2, 2019. The equipment has an estimated service life of 8 years and an estimated residual value of $33,000 . Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 under each of the following methods: Straight-line: $ fill in the blank 1 Sum-of-the-years'-digits: $ fill in the blank 2 Double-declining-balance: $
Answer:
1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets
= ($330000 - $33000)/8
= $37,125
2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36
Depreciation Expense for 2019(Sum-of-the-years'-digits method)
= ($330000 - $33000)*8/36
= $66,000
3. Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = (100/8 years)*2 = 25%
Depreciation Expense for 2019 = 330000*25% = $82,500
