Folklore Music manufactures harmonicas. Folklore uses standard costs to judge performance. Recently, a clerk mistakenly threw away some of the records, and only partial data for July exist. Folklore knows that the total direct labor variance for the month was $350 F and that the standard labor rate was $11 per hour. A recent pay cut caused a favorable labor rate variance of $0.40 per hour. The standard direct labor hours for actual July outputs were 5,910.

Required:
a. Find the actual number of direct labor hours worked during July. First, find the actual direct labor rate per hour. Then, determine the actual number of direct labor hours worked by setting up the computation of the total direct labor variance as given.
b. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Do these variances suggest that the manager may have made trade-offs? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The actual direct labor rate per hour will be:

= Standard direct labor rate per hour - favorable labor rate variance

= $11 - $0.40

= $10.60

Then, the actual direct labor hours worked during July will be calculated as:

= (5910 × $11) - $350 / $10.6

= ($65010 - $350) / $10.6

= $64660 / $10.6

= 6100

b. The direct labor rate variance will be:

= (Actual rate per hour - standard rate per hour) × Actual labor hours

= (10.60 - 11.00) × 6100

= 2440F

Direct labor efficiency variance will be:

= (6900 - 5910) × $11

= 2090U

The direct labor rate variance that was favorable shows that the manager paid a lower rate to its staffs while the direct labor efficiency variance that was unfavorable implies that the manager used less efficient workers. This indicates that a trade-off took place.

= (6900

Ingraham Inc. currently has $820,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding (DSO) is 54 days. It wants to reduce its DSO to 35 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. If this policy is adopted, the company's average sales will fall by 15%. What will be the level of accounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.

Answers

Answer: 451759.29

Explanation:

To solve the question, we need to calculate the current sales. This will be calculated by using the formula:

DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales

54 = 820000 × 365 / Sales

Sales = 820000 × 365 / 54

Sales = 5542593

After the new policy, the expected sales will be:

= 5542593 × (1 - 15%)

= 5542593 × (1 - 0.15)

= 5542593 × 0.85

= 4711204.5

The level of accounts receivable following the change will be:

DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales

35 = Account receivable × 365 / 4711204.5

Account receivable = 35 × 4711204.5 / 365

Account receivable = 451759.29

Straight-Line Depreciation A building acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $2,200,000 has an estimated residual value of $400,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3

Answers

Answer:

a)

Depreciable Cost = $ 1800000

b)

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 5%

c)

Depreciation expense per year = $90000

Explanation:

a)

The depreciable cost is the cost that qualifies for depreciation. It is calculated as,

Depreciable Cost = Cost - Salvage Value

Depreciable Cost = 2200000 - 400000

Depreciable Cost = $ 1800000

b)

The straight line depreciation method charges a constant depreciation expense every period. The rate of straight line depreciation can be calculated as follows,

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = Depreciable cost percentage / Estimated useful life

Straight Line Depreciation Rate =  100% / 20

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 5%

c)

The annual straight line depreciation expense can be calculated as follows,

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable cost * Straight line depreciation rate

Depreciation expense per year = 1800000 * 0.05

Depreciation expense per year = $90000

Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________

a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.

Answers

Answer:

a. 20250

Explanation:

Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares

Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]

Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]

Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750

Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.

Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250

Assume a division of Hewlett-Packard currently makes 12,000 circuit boards per year used in producing diagnostic electronic instruments at a cost of $34 per board, consisting of variable costs per unit of $24 and fixed costs per unit of $10.
Further assume Sanmina-SCI offers to sell Hewlett-Packard the 12,000 circuit boards for $34 each.
If Hewlett-Packard accepts this offer, the facilities currently used to make the boards could be rented to one of Hewlett-Packard's suppliers for $46,000 per year.
In addition, $6 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to the circuit boards would be totally eliminated.
Calculate the net benefit (cost) to HP of outsourcing the component from Samina-SCI.
(Use a negative sign with your answer, if appropriate.)

Answers

Answer:

The net benefit is -$26,000

Explanation:

Given the above information,

The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Total purchase price

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Fixed overhead cost applied

= 12,000 × $6

= $72,000

The rental income = $46,000

Outsourcing cost

= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income

= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000

= $434,000

Therefore, Net benefit

= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost

=$408,000 - $434,000

= -$26,000

Florida Seaside Oil Exploration Company is deciding whether to drill for oil off the northeast coast of Florida. The company estimates that the project would cost $4.24 million today. The firm estimates that once drilled, the oil will generate positive cash flows of $2.12 million a year at the end of each of the next four years. While the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, it recognizes that if it waits two years, it would have more information about the local geology as well as the price of oil. Florida Seaside estimates that if it waits two years, the project would cost $4.59 million. Moreover, if it waits two years, there is a 85% chance that the cash flows would be $2.306 million a year for four years, and there is a 15% chance that the cash flows will be $0.705 million a year for four years. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at a 8% WACC. Will the company delay the project and wait until they have more information

Answers

Answer:

The company will invest now and not delay

Explanation:

In order to determine the better option, we have to determine the Net present value of each of the option.

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

The option with the higher NPV would be chosen  

First option

Cash flow in year 0 = $-4.24 million

Cash flow in year 1 = $2.12 million

Cash flow in year 2 = $2.12 million

Cash flow in year 3 = $2.12 million

Cash flow in year 4 = $2.12 million

I = 8%

NPV = 2.78 million

Second option

NPV of the cash flow with $2.306 million a year for four years

Cash flow in year 0 = 0

Cash flow in year 1 = 0  

Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.

Cash flow in year 3 = $2.306

Cash flow in year 4 = $2.306 million

Cash flow in year 5 = $2.306 million

Cash flow in year 6 = $2.306 million

I = 8

NPV = $2.61 million

NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 0 = 0

Cash flow in year 1 = 0

Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.

Cash flow in year 3 = $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 4 = $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 5 = $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 6 = $0.705 million

I = 8 %

NPV = -1.93 million

NPV of the second option = (0.85 x $2.61 million) + (0.15 x 0) = $2.22 million

The NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million is zero because the NPV is negative and thus would not be undertaken.

The company will invest now and not delay because the NPV of not waiting is greater than the NPV of delaying

To find the NPV 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.

b. UCL = 22.700 LCL = 18.500
c. UCL = 22.755 LCL = 18.642
d. UCL = 21.814 LCL = 19.300


Answers

Answer:

a. UCL = 22.664 LCL = 18.556

Explanation:

The sample mean for the given data is :

( 23 + 20 + 19 + 20 + 21 ) / 5 = 20.6

Upper control limit is :

Sample mean + standard deviation  

20.6 + 2  = 22.6

Lower Control Limit is :

Sample mean - Standard Deviation

20.6 - 2 = 18.6

Q 9.20: City Mission is a not-for-profit organization that provides hot meals, living quarters, and showers for homeless people. Based on their yearly budget, they expect to spend $450,000 on food expenses, $350,000 on housing expenses, $280,000 on staff salaries, $90,000 on utilities, and $118,000 on other expenses. How much will City Mission need to raise in donations

Answers

Answer:

at least $1,288,000 in donation

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, we would add up all the expenses to arrive at how much donation that need City Mission needs to raise.

= Expenses on food + Housing expenses + Staff salaries + Utilities + Other expenses

= $450,000 + $350,000 + $280,000 + $90,000 + $118,000

= $1,288,000

The above is a large sum of money to raise only from donations, and by right a level or various levels of government should help pay for these expenses as no one go homeless either that or provide low cost homes for the homeless.

Answers

Answer:

A. $25,200

B. Accounts Receivable $770,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $32,200

Bad Debt Expense $25,200

C. $744,800

Explanation:

a. Calculation to Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts using this formula

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Credit balance on Allowance for doubtful accounts

Let plug in the formula

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry=$32,200 - $7,000

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= $25,200

Therefore the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts is $25,200

B. Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable will be $770,000

Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be $32,200

Bad Debt Expense = $32,200 - $7,000

Bad Debt Expense= $25,200

c. Calculation to Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable

Using this formula

Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Accounts receivables - Bad debt

Let plug in the formula

Net realizable value of accounts receivable= $770,000 - $25,200

Net realizable value of accounts receivable=$744,800

Therefore Net realizable value of accounts receivable is $744,800
