For years, Mattoon Components Company has used an actual plantwide overhead rate and based its prices on cost plus a markup of 30 percent. Recently the marketing manager, Holly Adams, and the production manager, Sue Walsh, confronted the controller with a common problem. The marketing manager expressed a concern that Mattoon's prices seem to vary widely throughout the year. According to Adams, "It seems irrational to charge higher prices when business is bad and lower prices when business is good. While we get a lot of business during high-volume months because we charge less than our competitors, it is a waste of time to even call on customers during low-volume months because we are raising prices while our competitors are lowering them." Walsh also believed that it was "folly to be so pushed that we have to pay overtime in some months and then lay employees off in others." She commented, "While there are natural variations in customer demand, the accounting system seems to amplify this variation."

a. Assume that the Mattoon Components Company had the following total manufacturing overhead costs and direct labor hours in 2016 and 2017:

Total manufacturing overhead $208,000 $250,000
Direct labor hours 20,000 28,000

Use the high-low method to develop a cost estimating equation for total manufacturing overhead.

b. Develop a predetermined rate for 2018, assuming 25,000 direct labor hours are budgeted for 2018.
c. Assume that the actual level of activity in 2018 was 30,000 direct labor hours and that the total 2018 manufacturing overhead was $250,000. Determine the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead at the end of 2018.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Equation: y = 103000 + 5.25 x

b)Predetermined overhead rate= $4.12  per hour

c)Under applied overhead=$ 126400

Explanation:

Using high and low

Variable overhead per hour = Overhead at high activity- Overhead at low activity/high activity - low activity

= (250,000- 208,000)/(28,000-20,000) hours =$5.25  per hour

Fixed overhead= Overhead at high act - (vc /hr × high activity)

                         = 250,000 - (5,25*28000)

                       =$103000

Equation

y = 103000 + 5.25 x

where y = total overhead, x- number of hours

Predetermined overhead rate = Total fixed overhead/ total direct labour hours

= $103,000/25,000 hours= $4.12  per hour

Predetermined overhead rate= $4.12  per hour

Over or under applied overhead

Applied overhead= pre-determined OAR × actual labour hours

= $4.12 per × 30,000= $123,600

under applied overhead = 250,000 - 123,600= 126400

under applied overhead=$ 126400

y = 103000 + 5.25 x

Predetermined overhead rate= $4.12  per hour

under applied overhead=$ 126400

Titanic Roofing Company has estimated the following amounts for its next fiscal​ year: Total fixed costs $ 833 comma 000 Sale price per unit 60 Variable cost per unit 30 If the company spends an additional $ 30 comma 000 on​ advertising, sales volume would increase by 2 comma 500 units. Before the​ change, the​ company's sales level exceeds the breakeven point. What effect will this decision have on the operating income of​ Titanic? A. Operating income will decrease by $ 45 comma 000. B. Operating income will increase by $ 45 comma 000. C. Operating income will increase by $ 75 comma 000. D. Operating income will increase by $ 150 comma 000.

Answers

Answer: B. Operating income will increase by $ 45,000

Explanation:

Total fixed cost = $833,000

Sale price per unit = 60

Variable cost per unit = 30

Advertising = $30,000

Increase in sales volume = 2500

The contribution margin is the difference between the sales price per unit and the variable cost per unit.

= 60 - 30

= 30

Therefore, Hence the increase in the contribution margin will be:

= ($30 × 2500)=$75000

We then subtract the additional cost of $30,000 from $75,000. This will be:

= $75,000 - $30,000

= $45,000

Therefore, operating income will increase by $45,000

Required
Compute the following amounts:
(1) Using the allowance method, the amount of uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2.
(2) Net realizable value of receivables at the end of Year 2.

Answers

Answer:

1) Amount of uncollectible accounts expenses is $ 2,750

2) Net realizable value of receivables at the end of Year 2 is $65,040

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable Balance, January 1, Year 2 = $ 78,500

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, January 1, Year 2 = $4,710

Sales on Account, Year 2 = $550,000

Collections of Accounts Receivable, Year 2 = $556,000

1) Amount of uncollectible accounts expenses = $550,000 ×0.5% = $ 2,750

2) Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning balance = $4,710

Less: Write off = $ -2,850

Add: Uncollectible accounts expense for the year = $2,750

Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending balance = $4,610

Accounts receivable, Beginning balance =$78,500

Add: Credit sales = $550,000

Less: Collections = $-556,000

Less: Write off = $-2,850

Accounts receivable, Ending balance = $69,650

Accounts receivable, Ending balance = $69,650

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending balance = $-4,610

Net realizable value = $65,040

If after several collection attempts, Quality Book Sales wrote off $2,850 of accounts that could not be collected. Quality Book Sales estimates that 0.5 percent of sales on account will be uncollectible.  

Using the allowance method, the amount of uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will be $2,750Net realizable value of receivables at the end of Year 2 will be $65,040

1) Uncollectible account expense

Uncollectible account expense = $550,000×0.5%

Uncollectible account expense= $2,750

2) Net realizable value

First step is to calculate the ending account receivable

Ending account receivable = $78,500+$550,000-$556,000-$2,850

Ending account receivable=$69,650

Second step is to calculate the ending allowance for doubtful accounts

Ending allowance for doubtful accounts =$4,710+$2,750-$2,850

Ending allowance for doubtful accounts=$4,610

Now let determine the Net realizable value using this formula

Net realizable value=Ending account receivable-Ending allowance for doubtful accounts

Let plug in the formula

Net realizable value =$69,650 -$4,610

Net realizable value =$65,040

Identify some common miscellaneous itemized deductions and identify any limitations that are imposed on the deductibility of these items. One itemized deduction allowed is for medical expenses. In what cases are medical insurance premiums paid by an individual not deductible as qualified expenses

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Itemized deductions is an auditing or accounting terms, that  describes the various expenses that are deducted from the adjusted gross income to reduce the taxable income of an individual or the corporations. For example, job search expenses, mileage expenses, charitable expenses, and etc.

Some common miscellaneous itemized deductions are:

1.  Job search expenses: these are deductible from Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) such as travel expenses, resume preparation costs, moving costs, etc.

2.  Mileage expenses: mileage expenses is allowed by Internal Revenue Services (IRS) to be deducted from Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for example; payments, repairs, insurance, etc.

3.  Charitable expenses: Charitable expenses are also eligible to deduct from Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) e.g. charitable gifts, donations, etc.

Limitations imposed on items which are deductible

Regardless, if it is job search expenses, mileage expenses, or charitable expenses, all are deductible if they are eligible for the deduction, and according to the IRS, the eligibility criteria are that all the expenses must exceed the 2% of AGI (Adjusted gross income).

Cases in which medical expenses are not deductible

Given that an individual or company pay the amount of medical expenses from their pocket, not from the business cost, hence, in this case, medical insurance is not deductible from the AGI.

At the same time, the insurance premium is excluded for the deduction if they exceed from the fixed amount set by the IRS, therefore, the employer-paid insurance funds cannot be deducted.

Noland Company manufactures two models of its banjo, the Basic and the Luxury. The Basic model requires 10000 direct labor hours and the Luxury requires 30000 direct labor hours. The company produces 3400 units of the Basic model and 600 units of the Luxury model each year. The company inspects one Basic for every 100 produced, and inspects one Luxury for every 10 produced. The company expects to incur $1457000 of total inspecting costs this year. How much of the inspecting costs should be allocated to the Basic model using ABC costing

Answers

Answer:

Allocated inspection overhead= $527,000.

Explanation:

Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.  

Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.

Activity rate per driver is calculated as:

Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period

Number of inspection :

Basic model = 3400/100 = 34

Luxury model = 600/10= 60

Total inspection = 94 inspections

Inspection cost per inspection = $1457000/94=  15,500 inspections

Inspection to Basic model = 15,500  × 34 = $527,000.

Allocated inspection overhead= $527,000.

Answers

Answer: e. Laura is brand loyal to the brand of cereal she buys, but visits the same store out of inertia.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Laura often goes to the only grocery store across the street from her apartment building and buys the same brand of cereal every week even though the store sells several different brands of cereal.

The most likely reason for this is that Laura loves that particular brand of cereal she buys maybe due to its packaging, taste, quality etc. So, in this case she is brand loyal to that particular brand of cereal as she won't like to buy or consume any other brand apart from that but she visits the same store out of inertia as its the only store across the street from her apartment building

If there were other stores, she could have gone into them but will still purchase the same brand of cereal.

What is the value of​ equity? What is the value of​ debt? c. What is the difference between the total value of the firm with leverage and without​ leverage? d. The difference in ​(c​) is equal to what percentage of the value of the​ debt?

Answers

Answer: a. $30,000

b. $21,600; $14,000

c. $5,600

d. 40%

Explanation;

a. When the company is assumed to have no debt and pays its net income entirely as dividends then the Value of the firm's equity is;

= Earnings after taxes / Cost of Equity

Risk free interest rate will be used. The Earnings after taxes are used because taxes have to be taken out to find out the amount due to shareholders for the year.

= 2,500 ( 1 - 40%) / 5%

= 1,500/ 5%

= $30,000

b. If interest is paid then the Value of equity will be;

= Earnings after interest and taxes / Cost of Equity

= (2,500 - interest * ( 1 - tax) ) / Cost of Equity

= (2,500 - 700 * ( 1 - 40%) ) / 5%

= $21,600

Value of debt = Interest/cost of debt

=700/5%

= $14,000

c. The total value of the firm without Leverage has been shown to be $30,000.

The total value of the firm with leverage would be;

= Value of Equity assuming debt + Value of Debt

= 21,600 + 14,00

= $35,600

Difference;

= 35,600 - 30,000

=$5,600

d. Value of debt is $14,000

= (5,600/14,000) * 100%

= 40%

O.K. Company uses a job order cost accounting system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. What is O.K. Company's overhead application rate

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours for $10.00 per hour.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,000,000/ (50,000*10)

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar

Answers

Answer:

Many times, clients will shift new people into the project who have no experience with it as they move their key people to new challenges. This issue is: One that is external and intellectual.

Explanation:

External issues do not affect an entity obviously.  The clients shifting new people into projects and moving their key people to new challenges know why they must be doing so.  It may be to encourage organizational learning.  It may be because the key people have been promoted and need to move to higher positions.

Most importantly, it is the clients as entities that we should be concerned and deal with.  Clients like other organizational entities have systems, processes, and policies that they work with to produce results.  Their internal management should remain internal and not be externalized by overtly and overzealous outsiders.

Carl transfers land with a fair market value of $120,000 and basis of $30,000, to a new corporation in exchange for 85 percent of the corporation's stock. The land is subject to a $45,000 liability, which the corporation assumes. What amount of gain must Carl recognize as a result of this transaction?

Answers

Answer: $15,000

Explanation:

From the question, Carl transfers land with a fair market value of $120,000 and basis of $30,000, to a new corporation in exchange for 85 percent of the corporation's stock and that the land is subject to a $45,000 liability, which the corporation assumes.

The amount of gain that Carl must recognize as a result of this transaction will be the difference between the liability the land is subjected to which is $45,000 and the basis of the land which is $30,000.

= $45,000 - $30,000

= $15,000

Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Sales $668,600
Cost 431,300
Depreciation 103,700
EBIT
Taxes (24%)
Net Income

a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Answers

Answer:

a. $205,236

b. $24,888

Explanation:

a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700

= $133,600

Net income = EBIT - Taxes

= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)

= $133,600 - $32,064

= $101,536

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700

= $205,236

b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-

Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax

= $103,700 × 24%

= $24,888

In 2007, Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky realized they could not afford the rent on their pricey San Francisco apartment, so they decided to put an air mattress in their living room and offer people an alternative to an expensive hotel room. This is the story of how Airbnb got started. In other words, Airbnb began when Gebbia and Chesky ________; the company grew because it ________.

Answers

Answer: c. Identified a problem or frustration; identified an opportunity or need

Explanation:

Airbnb began when the founders Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky realized that they could not afford the rent on their San Francisco apartment. This was a problem for them and they needed to solve it. Another problem they realized was that people were having to pay for expensive hotel rooms. The common denominator here being that both places were pricey.

They then identified the opportunity or need that people needed to afford their rent and visitors needed to afford places to stay temporarily and then acted on this opportunity by putting an air mattress in their living room and offering people an alternative to an expensive hotel room.

g. California hires workers to repave Highway 101.
h. The federal government sends your grandmother a Social Security check.

1. Consumption
2. Investment
3. Government Purchases
4. Net Exports

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

As we know that

Gross domestic product = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports

where,

Net exports = Exports - imports

a. Uncle Paul pays a domestic contractor to have his house renovated.  = Consumption

b. Aunt Jane buys a new house from a nearby building firm.  = Investment

c. You buy chocolate from Belgium in a box.  = Consumption & net exports

d. Ford is making a Focus and marketing it to Avis, the car rental company.  = Investment

To fix a leak in your bathroom you pay a domestic plumber.  = Consumption

e. Ford is selling a Mustang to the Martinez family from its inventory.  = Consumption and investment

f. California is hiring people to repave Highway 101.  = Government purchase

g. The Federal government is sending a Social Security check to your grandmother. The same is not involved in GDP as it has transfer payment

According to the conditions, Uncle Paul pays a domestic contractor for renovating his home - Consumption. Thus, the correct transactions that affect a-1, b-2, c-1&4, d-2, e-1, f-1&2, g-3, h-No affect.

Utilizing resources to fulfill present needs and desires is referred to as consumption. In contrast, investing is making purchases in order to generate future revenue.

An asset is considered an investment if it is bought or invested in with the intention of increasing financial security and preserving hard-earned income.

Government purchases are things that the federal, state, and municipal governments spend money on.

The difference between a country's exports and imports in dollars over a specific time period is known as net exports.

Therefore, the following transactions with their effect are as follows:

a-1, b-2, c-1&4, d-2, e-1, f-1&2, g-3, h-No affect.

XminusIndustries manufactures 3minusD printers. For each​ unit, $ 2 comma 800 of direct material is used and there is $ 1 comma 900 of direct manufacturing labor at $ 20 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at $ 25 per direct manufacturing labor hour. Calculate the profit earned on 52 units if each unit sells for $ 9 comma 200.

Answers

Answer:

the profit earned on 52 units is $110,500

Explanation:

Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales

First determine the cost of sales

Hint : Prepare a manufacturing cost schedule

Direct Materials ($ 2,800 × 52 units)                                  = $145,600

Direct Labor ($ 1,900 × 52 units)                                         = $98,800

Manufacturing Overheads ($25 × 95 hours × 52 units)    = $123,500

Total Cost                                                                              =$367,900

Then determine the Profit

Sales ($9,200 × 52 units)  =   $478,400

Less Cost of manufacture  = ($367,900)

Net Income / (Loss)             =  $110,500

Conclusion :

Calculate the profit earned on 52 units is $110,500

Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 2.10 ounces $15.00 per ounce $31.50
Direct labor 0.80 hours $15.00 per hour 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.80 hours $3.50 per hour 2.80
Total standard cost per unit $46.30

During November, the following activity was recorded, relative to production of Fludex:

a. Materials purchased, 9,420 ounces at a cost of $49,926.
b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 1,600 ounces of material remained in ending inventory.
c. The company employs 40 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they worked an average of 61.50 hours at an average rate of $12.30 per hour.
d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $5,658.
e. During November, 4,600 good units of Fludex were produced.


The company's management is anxious to determine the efficiency of the Fludex production activities.

Required:

1. For direct materials used in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
2. For direct labor employed in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.

Answers

Answer:

1)

direct materials price variance = actual quantity x (actual price - standard price)

direct materials price variance = 7,820 x ($5.30 - $15) = 7,820 x (-$9.70) = -$75,854 favorable

direct materials usage variance = standard price x (actual usage - standard usage)

direct materials usage variance = $15 x (7,820 - 9,660) = -$27,600 favorable

2)

direct labor price variance = actual hours x (actual rate - standard rate)

direct labor price variance = 2,460 x ($12.30 - $15) = 2,460 x (-$2.70) = -$6,642 favorable

direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = standard rate x (actual hours - standard hours)

direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = $15 x (2,460 - 3,680) = $15 x (-1,220) = -$18,300 favorable

Answers

Answer:

$128

Explanation:

The FIFO inventory system means first in , first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

Under the perpetual system, the cost of goods sold Under the FIFO system would be taken from the most recent inventory purchase prior to the sale.

The most recent inventory purchase prior to the sale occurred on the 17th. The price at which the inventory was purchased on the 17th would be used to calculate the cost of goods sold

So the cost of goods sold = $16.00 × 8 = $128

Reflexivity simply means when individuals examine their own judgements, beliefs, and practices during a project or a research process and how their judgements, practices or beliefs may have influenced or impacted the research.

From the question, we are told that a year​ ago, the IT team earned​ corporate-wide recognition for its performance but recently, it has begun to experience some declines in its performance which has led to them missing the last three project deadlines and having experienced budget overruns.

To turn around the​ team's performance, the team lead is encouraging the team to show reflexivity. He wants them to look at what they've been doing earlier and what they're doing presently and make necessary adjustments regarding their judgements for the goals of the organization to be achieved.

Consider the demand for Russian rublesRussian rubles in exchange for British poundsBritish pounds. Which of the following will not increase the foreign currency demand for the rubleruble​? A. Currency traders who believe that the value of the rubleruble in the future will be less than its value today. B. Foreign firms and consumers who want to buy goods and services from RussiaRussia. C. Currency traders who believe that the value of the rubleruble in the future will be greater than its value today.

Answers

Answer: A. Currency traders who believe that the value of the ruble in the future will be less than its value today.

Explanation:

In the foreign exchange market, currencies are traded at different prices. From the options given in the question, the correct option is option A (Currency traders who believe that the value of the rubleruble in the future will be less than its value today).

When the currency traders believe that the value of the rubel is going to depreciate in the future, they will start selling the rubels and this will lead to a decrease in the demand for it because it will depreciate. Here, the supply will increase but the demand will reduce.

The High-Low Method of determining costs can be relatively accurate if the highest and lowest activity levels represent the overall cost behavior of the company.  Inaccurate results will be obtained when the two extreme activity levels are significantly unrepresentative of the dataset.  This is exactly the case in this example.  If you try to estimate fixed cost, at another activity level, you will get a different result.  So the high-low method is not ideal in most cases and its results should not be relied on solely.  A better method is to do a regression analysis with the dataset to obtain a more accurate result.
