This information is available for Pronghorn Inc. for the current year.
Beginning inventory $10,620
Ending inventory 13,430
Cost of goods sold 84,175
Sales 146,100
Calculate the inventory turnover, days in inventory, and gross profit rate for Pronghorn Inc. for the current year. (Round gross profit rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.51 and other answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 15.2. Use 365 days for calculation.)
Inventory turnover enter inventory turnover in times times
Days in inventory enter days in inventory days
Gross profit rate enter days in inventory
Answer:
Pronghorn Inc.
Inventory Turnover = 7 times
Days in inventory = 52.14 days
Gross profit rate = 47.86%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory $10,620
Ending inventory 13,430
Average inventory = $12,025 ($10,620 + $13,430)/2
Cost of goods sold 84,175
Sales 146,100
Gross profit = $69,925 ($146,100 - $84,175)
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory
= $84,175/$12,025
= 7 times
Days in inventory = 365/7 = 52.14 days
Gross profit rate = Gross profit/Sales * 100
= $69,925/$146,100 * 100
= 47.86%
n January 1, 2022, Smeder Company, an 80% owned subsidiary of Collins, Inc. transferred equipment with a 10-year life (six of which remain with no salvage value) to Collins in exchange for $104,000 cash. At the date of transfer, Smeder's records carried the equipment at a historical cost of $140,000 less accumulated depreciation of $58,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. Smeder reported net income of $28,000 for 2022 and 2023, respectively. Prepare the consolidation entries related to the equipment for year 2022 and year 2023
Answer:
2022
Dr. Equipment _________ $22,000
Cr.Reserve Account _____$19,800
Cr. Depreciation expenses $2,200
2022
Dr. Depreciation Expense ___ $14,000
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $14,000
2023
Dr. Depreciation Expense ___ $14,000
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $14,000
Explanation:
2022
Calculate the net book value
Net book value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciatin = $140,000 - $58,000 = $82,000
Unrealised profit on the sale of the asset = Cash receipt - Nreet book value = $104,000 - $82,000 = $22,000
Annual Depricaiton = Historical cost / remaining life = $140,000 / 10 = $14,000
Excess depreciation charged = Unrealised profit / Remaining life = $22,000 / 10 = $2,200
Hollywood Co. computed an overhead rate for machining costs ($1,500,000) of $15 per machine hour. Machining costs are driven by machine hours. The company produces two products, Chapel and Tower. Chapel requires 60,000 machine hours, while Tower requires 40,000 machine hours. Using activity-based costing, machining costs using machine hours to assign overhead to each product is
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To allocate overhead to Chapel and Tower, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Chapel:
Allocated MOH= 15*60,000
Allocated MOH= $900,000
Tower:
Allocated MOH= 15*40,000
Allocated MOH= $600,000

Deviations from informational efficiency would result in a large cost that will be borne by all participants, namely inefficient resource allocation. Corporations with overpriced securities, for example, would be able to obtain capital too expensively while undervalued companies might forgo investment opportunities because the cost of raising capital would be too low.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Deviations from informational efficiency does in fact result in a large cost for all participants however the effects given in the question are false.
If there is a deviation from informational efficiency, overpriced companies would be viewed as performing well enough to get capital at a cheaper rate because they would be viewed as less of a risk.
Undervalued companies would get capital at a higher cost because they would be viewed as less likely to pay back the capital when in fact they are not valued at their proper value which would have shown that they would be able to pay off the capital acquired.
Seventy-Two Inc., a developer of radiology equipment, has stock outstanding as follows: 60,000 shares of cumulative preferred 2% stock, $60 par and 300,000 shares of $20 par common. During its first four years of operations, the following amounts were distributed as dividends: first year, $51,000; second year, $105,000; third year, $81,000; fourth year, $120,000.
Required:
Determine the dividends per share on each class of stock for each of the four years.
Answer:
The Preferred shares are cumulative which means that they will have to be paid eventually even if they weren't completed in one period.
Preferred dividend:
= 60,000 * 60 * 2%
= $72,000 per year
First year:
Preferred dividend Common Dividend
= $51,000 = $0
They will collect it all and be owed:
= 72,000 - 51,000
= $21,000
Second year:
Preferred dividend Common Dividend
= 21,000 + 72,000 = 105,000 - 93,000
= $93,000 = $12,000
Preferred accrued has been
paid off.
Third year:
Preferred dividend Common Dividend
= $72,000 = 81,000 - 72,000
= $9,000
Fourth year:
Preferred dividend Common Dividend
= $72,000 = 120,000 - 72,000
= $48,000
At Bargain Electronics, it costs $30 per unit ($20 variable and $10 fixed) to make an MP3 player at full capacity that normally sells for $55.

The Richmond Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company has only a single processing department. The company's ending work in process inventory on August 31 consisted of 18,000 units. The units in the ending work in process inventory were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the cost per equivalent unit for August was $2.75 for materials and $4.25 for labor and overhead, the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory was:
Answer:
$95,400
Explanation:
Step 1 : Find the equivalent units of production in Ending Work in Progress
Materials = 18,000 x 100 % = 18,000 units
Conversion costs = 18,000 x 60 % = 10,800 units
Step 2 : Calculate the Cost of units in Ending Work in Progress
Cost of units in Ending Work in Progress = 18,000 x $2.75 + 10,800 x $4.25
= $95,400
Conclusion :
The ending work in process inventory was $95,400.
Philadelphia Company has the following information for March: Sales $468,926 Variable cost of goods sold 221,229 Fixed manufacturing costs 78,814 Variable selling and administrative expenses 53,981 Fixed selling and administrating expenses 33,064 Determine the March: a. Manufacturing margin $fill in the blank 1 b. Contribution margin $fill in the blank 2 c. Operating income for Philadelphia Company $fill in the blank 3
Answer and Explanation:

Savers make deposits and investments in order to earn what?
Why don't savers invest their money directly with the businesses?
Answer:
Savers make deposits and investment in order to earn interest on their money. This often works very well because they do not earn only interest as a percentage of their money, but also interest as a percentage of previously accrued interest, something known as compound interest.
Savers do not invest their money directly with the businesses because real economic activity tends to be riskier (although it could also be more profitable for this same reason). This is why they often prefer to invest the money on financial instruments.
Presented below is information related to Shamrock Corp., which sells merchandise with terms 2/10, net 60. Shamrock Corp. records its sales and receivables net. July 1 Shamrock Corp. sold to Warren Harding Co. merchandise having a sales price of $15,000. 5 Accounts receivable of $14,300 (gross) are factored with Andrew Jackson Credit Corp. without recourse at a financing charge of 9%. Cash is received for the proceeds; collections are handled by the finance company. (These accounts were all past the discount period.) 9 Specific accounts receivable of $14,300 (gross) are pledged to Alf Landon Credit Corp. as security for a loan of $6,500 at a finance charge of 6% of the amount of the loan. The finance company will make the collections. (All the accounts receivable are past the discount period.) Dec. 29 Warren Harding Co. notifies Shamrock that it is bankrupt and will pay only 10% of its account. Give the entry to write off the uncollectible balance using the allowance method. (Note: First record the increase in the receivable on July 11 when the discount period passed.)
Answer:
Shamrock Corp.
Entry to write off the uncollectible balance of Warren Harding Co.:
Debit Allowance for Uncollectible accounts $13,500
Credit Accounts Receivable $13,500
To write off the uncollectible account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Credit terms = 2/10, net 60. This means that 2% discount is allowed to each customer for making payment within 10 days and the longest credit is 60 days.
Sales to Warren Harding Co = $15,000
Amount debited to Accounts Receivable = 14,700 ($15,000 * 98%)
Amount paid by Warren (10%) = $1,500
Amount to be written off as uncollectible = $13,500
Discount of $300 will be reversed with a debit to the Accounts Receivable and a credit to Discount Allowed (since the Shamrock Corp. records its sales and receivables net.)
Cash of $1,500 will be debited and Accounts Receivable credited to record the 10% of $15,000 cash receipt from Warren Harding Co. The remaining amount, which is $13,500 will be written off with a debit to Allowance for Uncollectible accounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable.
Indicate the missing amount for each letter.

1. Prepare a condensed cost of goods manufactured schedule for case 1.
2. Prepare an income statement for case 1.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Case 1.
Total manufacturing costs
= Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $9,780 + $5,950 + $8,870 = $24,000
Ending work in process inventory
= Opening work in process + total manufacturing cost - cost of goods manufacturing
= $1,510 + $24,600 - $17,970 = $8,140
Beginning finished goods inventory
= Cost of goods sold - cost of goods manufactured + closing finished goods inventory
= $19,140 - $17,970 + $3,720 = $4,890
Cost of goods sold
= Opening finished good inventory + cost of goods manufactured - closing finished goods inventory
= $4,890 + $17,970 - $3,720 = $19,140
Gross profit
= Sales - cost of goods sold
= $25,780 - $2,810 - $19,140 = $3,830

May 1, 2021, Bibby Company had beginning inventory consisting of 200 units with a unit cost of $7. During May, the company purchased inventory as follows: 800 units at $7 600 units at $8 The company sold 1,000 units during the month for $12 per unit. Bibby uses the average cost method. The average cost per unit for May is
Answer:
$7.38
Explanation:
The average cost method recalculates a new cost per unit with each and every purchase made. This new costs would then be used to calculate the costs of goods sold and inventory value.
Average cost per unit = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (200 x $7 + 800 x $7 + 600 x $8) ÷ 1,600
= $7.375 or $7.38
The average cost per unit for May is $7.38

VENTURING AND EXPANDING
Businessmen have realised that it is not always necessary to start a business from scratch. In order to
expand, wise businessmen have given other businesses a right to sell their similar products within some
regulations. Others have been smart enough to realise that their small items that require regular
maintenance can make money for by contracting them to another business. It is even more
advantageous when an institution decides to focus on its vision and improve their quality by allowing
specialists to perform other duties on their behalf.

A year ago, you graduated from college and decided to open your own computer software company. Over the past year, your firm generated $500,000 in revenue. You hired two software engineers and paid each of them $150,000 over the past year. You also purchased computer equipment that cost a total of $30,000. To save money, you decided to use the basement of your house for the business. Previously, you had rented this space to a tenant for $6,000 per year. Instead of opening your own business, you could have gone to work for Microsoft and earned $200,000 over the past year.

Total revenue =price x quantity sold
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Accounting profit = $500,000 - [( $150,000 x 2) + $30,000] = $170,000
Economic profit = $170,000 - ($200,000 + $6000) = -36,000
Madson Company is analyzing several proposed investment projects The firm has resources only for one project Project P Project Q Project R Project S Project T Cost of investment $32,000 $38,200 $57,100 $47,400 $53,000 Net cash flow Year 1 $5,200 $3,200 $4,300 $26,000 $15,900 Year 2 $9,600 $15,300 $16,900 $8,400 $15,800 Year 3 $12,700 $14,700 $21,000 $6,400 $16,100 Year 4 $15,300 $19,300 $31,000 $4,300 $11,000 Year 5 $52,000 $2,100 $10,000 The company uses the payback period method for making capital investment decisions. On the basis of this decision model, which project should be selected? (Ignore taxes.) a. Project T b. Project Q c. Project P d. Project R e. None
Answer:
Madison Company
On the basis of the payback period decision model, the project that should be selected is:
c. Project P
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Project P Project Q Project R Project S Project T
Cost of investment $32,000 $38,200 $57,100 $47,400 $53,000
Net cash flow
Year 1 $5,200 $3,200 $4,300 $26,000 $15,900
Year 2 $9,600 $15,300 $16,900 $8,400 $15,800
Year 3 $12,700 $14,700 $21,000 $6,400 $16,100
Year 4 $15,300 $19,300 $31,000 $4,300 $11,000
Year 5 $52,000 $2,100 $10,000
Total net cash flow $94,800 $54,600 $83,200 $45,100 $58,800
Year 4 Year 4 Year 4 Unable Year 4
b) While four of the five projects pay back within Year 4, Project P has the added advantage of more total cash inflows. It is followed closely by Project R. The payback period as a capital appraisal method relies on counting the years or periods when the project's investment will be recovered. The payback period method does not evaluate projects based on the time value of money unless the modernized discounted payback period method is used.
The payback period method is a method that considers the number of months or years it takes to return the initial investment.
When more than one investment is being considered under payback period, the investment with the shortest payback period will be selected.
Since the net cash inflows of each year for each project is different, the following formula is used in the attached photo to calculate the payback period:
Payback period = A + (X / Y) ………………….. (1)
Where:
A = Year immediately preceding to year of recovery
X = Amount left to be recovered
Z = Cash inflow in the year of final recovery
Before equation (1) is used, cumulative net cash inflows is first calculated as done in the attached photo.
From the attached photo, we have:
Project P’s payback period = 3.29 years
Project Q’s payback period = 3.26 years
Project R’s payback period = 3.48 years
Project S’s payback period = after 5 years
Project T’s payback period = 3.47 years
Based on above the above, b. Project Q should be selected because it has the shortest payback period which is 3.26 years.

The Cavy Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $250,000. The company calculated its Predetermined Overhead Rate to be $31.25 per machine hour for the year. The machine hours incurred for the month of April for all of the jobs were 4,780. If the actual factory overhead totaled $141,800, determine the over- or underapplied amount for the month.
Answer:
Overapplied overhead= $7,575 overapplied
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate overhead costs based on actual hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 31.25*4,780
Allocated MOH= $149,375
Now, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 141,800 - 149,375
Overapplied overhead= $7,575 overapplied
Suppose that a candy maker owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a library. Further suppose that because the candy maker is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he makes candy. While the library cannot insist on a quiet environment, it could move to a quieter building. However, rent in the next best building is $300/month more than rent in the noisy building. The candy maker can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $225/month. Given this situation, can the library find a private solution with the candy maker that will make both better off
Answer:
The best option is to opt for the new technology which eliminates noise for $225/month.
Explanation:
The candy maker will go for the cheapest available solution for the noise. The new space rent for the library is $300 while the new equipment that eliminates the noise is $225. The best option is the one which lowest cost. The candy maker should opt to buy the new equipment.
