On January 1, 2021, The Barrett Company purchased merchandise from a supplier. Payment was a noninterestbearing note requiring five annual payments of $20,000 on each December 31 beginning on December 31, 2021, and a lump-sum payment of $100,000 on December 31, 2025. A 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.Required:Calculate the amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021.

Answers

Answer:

Barrett Company

The amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021 is:

= $125,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Non-interest-bearing note annual payment = $20,000

Date of annual payments = December 31

Lump sum payment on December 31, 2025 = $100,000

Interest rate reflecting the time value of money = 10%

The amount for the note payable and corresponding merchandise on January 1, 2021 is:

PV annuity factor for 4 years at 10% = 3.170

Total PV of annual payments = $63,400 ($20,000 * 3.170)

PV of lump-sum payment =         62,100 ($100,000 * 0.621)

Total PV of payments =           $125,500

Thanksgiving Inc. sells an average of 200 turkeys weekly, with a standard deviation of 25 (assume a normal distribution). Turkey inventory levels are reviewed every four weeks and it takes two weeks to receive a shipment. Assume Thanksgiving Inc. reviews their inventory two weeks before the Thanksgiving and finds 150 turkeys on hand. Thanksgiving Inc. uses a service level of 95% (z=1.645).

Required:
How many turkeys should Thanksgiving Inc. order?

Answers

Answer:

the number of turkeys is 1,154 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of turkeys is shown below:

= Demand (weeks) +  service level of 95% √weeks × standard deviation - turkeys on hand

= 200 (4 +2) + 1.65√4 + 2 × 25  - 150

= 1200 + 101.04  - 150

= 1,154 units

hence, the number of turkeys is 1,154 units

A. Cost of Materials Used Cost of Goods Manufactured Cost of Goods Sold
$105,000 $327,000 $307,000
B. $100,000 $327,000 $342.000

Answers

Answer:

Direct material used= $102,000

Cost of goods manufactured= $327,000

COGS= $347,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of direct material used:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 28,000 + 105,000 - 31,000

Direct material used= $102,000

Now, the cost of goods manufactured:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 102,000 + 130,000 + 105,000 - 50,000

cost of goods manufactured= $327,000

Finally, the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 80,000 + 327,000 - 60,000

COGS= $347,000

A bank has kept records of the checking balances of its customers and determined that the average daily balance of its customers is $300 with a standard deviation of $56. A random sample of 200 checking accounts is selected. You are interested in calculating the following probabilities below.1. Assuming that the population of the checking account balances is normally distributed, what is the probability that a randomly selected account has a balance of more than $305?2. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is above $295?3. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is below $290?4. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is between $302 and $304?

Answers

Answer:

1. P(X > 305) = $0.1038

2. P ( X > 295) = $0.8962

3. P ( X > 290) = $0.0057

4. P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Mean = u = $300

SD = Standard Deviation = $56

Sample Size = n = 200

uX = u = 300

SDX = [tex]\frac{SD}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{56}{\sqrt{200} }[/tex] = 3.96

1.

P(X > 305) = 1-P ([tex]\frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{305 - 300}{3.96}[/tex])

P(X > 305) = 1-P (Z < 1.26)

Using Standard Normal Table, we have:

P(X > 305) = 1 - 0.8962

Probability = $0.1038

2.

P ( X > 295) = 1 - P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{295 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P ( X > 295) = 1 - P (Z< 1.26)

Using standard normal table, we have:

P ( X > 295) = 1 - 0.1038

P ( X > 295) = $0.8962

3.

P ( X > 290) =  P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{290 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P ( X > 290) = P ( z< -2.53)

Using Standard normal table, we have:

P ( X > 290) = $0.0057

4.

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( [tex]\frac{302 - 300}{3.96} < \frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{304 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( 0.51 < z < 1.01)

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P (z < 1.01) - P (z < 0.51)

P(302 < X < 304 ) = 0.8438 - 0.6950

P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488

Marigold Corp. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $155,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $28,000 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB shipping point, and $21,800 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,400, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end. What amount should Marigold report as its December 31 inventory

Answers

Answer: $‭204,800‬

Explanation:

When a good is shipped FOB shipping point, it means that the buyer assumes responsibility for the goods as soon as the goods reach the place they will be shipped from. The purchase from Pelzer should therefore be included in inventory because it has already been shipped.

A good shipped FOB Destination means that the buyer only assumes responsibility after the goods have been delivered to them. As the sale to Alvarez was still in transit, it is still the responsibility of Marigold and should be included in inventory.

Inventory is therefore:

= 155,000 + 28,000 + 21,800

= $‭204,800‬

Assume the perpetual inventory method is used:

a. Green Company purchased merchandise inventory that cost $16,800 under terms of 2/10, n/30 and FOB shipping point.
b. Green Company paid freight cost of $680 to have the merchandise delivered.
c. Payment was made to the supplier on the inventory within 10 days.
d. All of the merchandise was sold to customers for $25,100 cash and delivered under terms FOB destination with freight cost amounting to $480.

The gross margin from these transactions of Green Company is:________

Answers

Answer:

Gross margin = $8156

Explanation:

Formula for gross margin is given by;

Gross margin = Revenue - Cost of goods sold

where,

Revenue = $25100

Cost of goods sold = (cost of Purchase × ( 1 - Discount rate)) + freight cost

Thus;

Cost of goods sold = $16800 - (16800 × 0.02)) + $480

Cost of goods sold = $16944

Thus;

Gross margin = $25100 - $16944

Gross margin = $8156

A company uses a process costing system. Its Assembly Department's beginning inventory consisted of 54,800 units, 75% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. The department completed and transferred out 115,500 units this period. The ending inventory consists of 44,800 units that are 25% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The department incurred direct labor costs of $36,000 and overhead costs of $44,000 for the period. Assuming the weighted average method, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:

Answers

Answer:

$0.28/EUP

Explanation:

Calculation for the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:

First step is to calculate the Total EUP's

Completed and transferred out 115,500

Add EGIP $11,200

(44,800 * 25%)

Total EUP's $126,700

Now let calculate direct labor cost per equivalent unit using this formula

Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=Cost / Eup

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=($36,000/$126,700)

Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=$0.28/EUP

Therefore Assuming the weighted average method, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:$0.28/EUP

Cecil Green sells golf hats. He knows that most people will not pay more than $23 for a golf hat. Cecil needs a 39% markup on cost. What should Cecil pay for his golf hats? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer: $16.55

Explanation:

People will not pay more than $23 for a golf hat but Mr. Green still needs to add a 39% markup on cost.

Assume the price Mr. Green sells at is $23. His cost to get one hat should be denoted as x:

23 = x + (x * 39%)

23 = x + 0.39x

23 = 1.39x

x = 23/1.39

x = $16.55

The Board of Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised its tuition and fees 17.6 percent to $23,460 in 2000. It subsequently received 200 more applications than the year before. The president of the college surmised that "applicants had apparently concluded that if the college cost more, it must be better." Other colleges that raised tuition to match rival colleges in recent years include University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College, Rice University, and the University of Richmond. They also experienced an increase in applications. In contrast, North Carolina Wesleyan College lowered their tuition and fees about 10 years ago by 22 percent and attracted fewer students. The college president concluded that "it didn't work out the way it had been hoped. People don't want cheap."

You are hired as a consultant to a President of a liberal arts college in the East. You are asked to evaluate a recommendation by the college's Admissions Director. Susan Hansen, to increase tuition and to reduce financial aid to students. Susan argues that the data from competing colleges suggest that the demand curves for colleges slope upward-the quantity demanded increases with price. Susan projects that the increase in tuition and reduction in financial aid will solve the school's financial problems. Last year, the college enrolled 400 new students who each paid an effective tuition of $15,000 (after financial aid), totaling $6,000,000. She projects that with the increased demand from charging an effective tuition of $25,000, the college will be able to enroll 600 new students (of equal or better quality), totaling $15,000,000.

Evaluate Susan's analysis and recommendation

Answers

Solution :

The demand curve : The quantity demanded for each price

                                         [tex]$D=Q(P)$[/tex]

The prices goes up, quantity demanded will decreases.

The price goes up, quantity demanded will increase

Board of the Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised tuition fees : $ 23,460 which is 17.6 % more to 2000.

The applicants : 200 more from previous year.

Therefore the college cost most, then it must be better.

Other rival competitions have also seen same scenarios. When cost goes down, the demand decreases.

Susan's perceptive :

Demand increases with cost increase and the demand curve slopes upwards.

Our understanding is completely different with the understanding of the college administrative officer, Susan.

Our understanding is negative slope of the demand curve other than change in price of any other parameter will lead to shift in demand curve, either in or out.

If all the tuitions fees are increased, then financial aid needs to be sponsored by the 'state'. That will effect reserves which leads to the failure of the sole purpose of aids.

Our recommendation should be to tell the board members the long term effects of the increase in the tuitions fees and no financial aid will create.

ASC 480-10 provides guidance on determining whether (1) certain financial instruments with both debt-like and equity-like characteristics should be accounted for outside of equity (i.e., as liabilities or, in some cases, assets) by the issuer and (2) SEC registrants should present certain redeemable equity instruments as temporary equity. Examples of contracts and transactions that may require evaluation under ASC 480-10 include:________

Answers

Answer:

. Redeemable shares.

• Redeemable noncontrolling interests.

• Forward contracts to repurchase own shares.

• Forward contracts to sell redeemable shares.

• Written put options on own stock.

• Warrants (and written call options) on redeemable equity shares.

• Warrants on shares with deemed liquidation provisions.

• Puttable warrants on own stock.

• Equity collars.

• Share-settled debt (this term is used to describe a share-settled obligation that  is not in the legal form of debt but has the same economic payoff profile as debt).

• Preferred shares that are mandatorily convertible into a variable number of common shares.

• Unsettled treasury stock transactions.

• Accelerated share repurchase programs.

• Hybrid equity units.

Explanation:

ASC 480-10 is used when an issuer, in the declaration of its financial position, has to categorize some financial instruments that share the characteristics of liabilities and equities. The issuer always classifies legal-form debt as liability and this makes it not applicable under the ASC 480-10.

Under the ASC 480-10, three types of financial instruments are meant to be classified and they include;

1. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments

2. Obligations to repurchase the entity’s equity shares by transferring assets, and

3.Certain obligations to issue a variable number of equity shares

Riverside Oil Company in eastern Kentucky produces regular and supreme gasoline. Each barrel of regular sells for $21 and must have an octane rating of at least 90. Each barrel of supreme sells for $25 and must have an octane rating of at least 97. Each of these types of gasoline are manufactured by mixing different quantities of the following three inputs:
Input Cost per Barrel Octane Rating Barrels Available in (1000s)
1 $17.25 100 150
2 $15.75 87 350
3 $17.75 110 300
Riverside has orders for 300,000 barrels of regular and 450,000 barrels of supreme. How should the company allocate the available inputs to the production of regular and supreme gasoline to maximize profits?
a. Formulate and LP model for this problem.
b. What is the optimal solution?

Answers

Solution :

Here,

[tex]$X_{iR}$[/tex] = the number of the barrels mixed i to manufacture the regular gasoline

[tex]$X_{iS}$[/tex] = the number of the barrels mixed i to manufacture the supreme gasoline.

The [tex]$\text{selling price}$[/tex]  of each of the barrel of both gasoline is [tex]$\$ 21$[/tex] and [tex]$\$25$[/tex]. So the total [tex]$\text{selling price}$[/tex] of both types of gasoline is represented by :

[tex]$21 \times \sum X_{iR} +25 \times \sum X_{iS}$[/tex]

The cost prices of one barrel of the three types of input are 17.25, 1575 and 17.75.

So the total price is represented by :

[tex]$17.25 \times (X_{iR}+X_{iS})+15.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})$[/tex]

The company wants to increase the profit. So maximize objective function will be used.

Max Z = [tex]$(21. \times \sum X_{iR} +24 \times \sum X_{iS})-[17.25 \times (X_{iR}+X_{iS})+17.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})]$[/tex]The company has 150,000 barrels of input 1 available. So,

[tex]$X_{1R}+ X_{1S} \leq 150,000$[/tex]

[tex]$X_{2R}+ X_{2S} \leq 350,000$[/tex]

[tex]$X_{3R}+ X_{3S} \leq 300,000$[/tex]

The company got an order to sell 300,000 barrels of regular and 450,000 barrels of supreme gasoline. So,

[tex]$X_{1R}+X_{2R}+X_{3R} = 300,000$[/tex]

[tex]$X_{1S}+X_{2S}+X_{3S} = 450,000$[/tex]

The company wishes the regular gasoline to have octane number of at least 90. So,

[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1R}+87 \times X_{2R} +10 \times X_{3R}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 90$[/tex]

The company wishes the supreme gasoline to have octane number of at least 97. So,

[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1S}+87 \times X_{2S} +10 \times X_{3S}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 97$[/tex]

Formulating the LP model :

Max :

[tex]$[21 \times \sum X_{iR}+25 \times \sum X_{iS}]$[/tex] [tex]$-[17.25 \times (X_{1R}+X_{1S})+15.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})]$[/tex]

Subject to :

[tex]$X_{1R}+ X_{1S} \leq 150,000$[/tex]

[tex]$X_{2R}+ X_{2S} \leq 350,000$[/tex]

[tex]$X_{3R}+ X_{3S} \leq 300,000$[/tex]

Also,

[tex]$X_{1R}+X_{2R}+X_{3R} = 300,000$[/tex]

[tex]$X_{1S}+X_{2S}+X_{3S} = 450,000$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1R}+87 \times X_{2R} +10 \times X_{3R}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 90$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1S}+87 \times X_{2S} +10 \times X_{3S}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 97$[/tex]

Longobardi Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 35,600 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $6.76 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $906,732. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 32,000 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:

Answers

Answer: $32.23 per labor-hour

Explanation:

To solve the question, we need to first calculate the estimated total manufacturing overhead which will be:

= $906,732 + ($6.76 per labor-hour × 35,600 labor-hours)

= $906732 + $240656

= $1,147,388

Predetermined overhead rate will then be:

= $1,147,388 / 35,600 labor-hours

= $32.23 per labor hour

A congresswoman from a state with several semiconductor factories argues that the government should impose a tariff on semiconductors because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade, she contends, would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of semiconductors and thus, in case of war, unable to make enough weapons to defend itself. Which of the following justifications is the senator using to argue for the trade restriction on semiconductors?

a. Infant-industry argument
b. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
c. Jobs argument
d. Unfair-competition argument
e. National-security argument

Answers

Answer:

National-security argument

Explanation:

Governments may intervene in markets for any reason at all.

A tariff is simply known as a tax

that is imposed on imports. There are various reasons why trade is restricted for product or services. The different arguments for restricting trade includes:

1. jobs argument

2. national security argument

3. infant-industry argument

4. unfair-competition argument

5. protection-as-bargaining-chip argument

The national security argument state that industries or product important to national security should be protected from foreign competition and not allow to focus mainly on dependence on imports that could be scattered during wartime.

The National Security Response is said to be as good as long as we base policy on true security needs.

Selling price per unit, variable cost per unit, and total fixed cost are the same each year. There were no beginning inventories in Year 1. Which of the following statements is not correct?
A. Under variable costing, net operating income for Year 1 and Year 2 would be the same.B. Because of the changes in production levels, under variable costing the unit product cost will change each year.C. The total net operating income for all four years combined would be the same under variable and absorption costing.D. Under absorption costing, net operating income in Year 4 would be less than the net operating income in Year 2.

Answers

Answer:

B. Because of the changes in production levels, under variable costing the unit product cost will change each year

Explanation:

In variable costing, Product Cost is the total of variable manufacturing costs only. Whereas in Absorption costing, the Product cost is the total of both variable and fixed manufacturing overheads.

The following statements is not correct : Because of the changes in production levels, under variable costing the unit product cost will change each year.

Lightning Semiconductors produces 200,000 hi-tech computer chips per month. Each chip uses a component that Lightning makes in-house. The variable costs to make the component are $1.20 per unit, and the fixed costs are $1,300,000 per month. The company has been approached by a foreign producer who can supply the component, within acceptable quality standards, for $1.10 each. The fixed costs are unavoidable, and Lightning would have no other use for the facilities currently employed in making the component. What would be the effect if the company decides to outsource?

a. There would be no effect on operating income.
b. Lightning Semiconductors could save $1,300,000 per month in costs.
c. Lightning Semiconductors could save $20,000 per month in costs.

Bonita Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,419,800 and retained earnings of $5,569,300 at December 31, 2020. Bonita later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $99,040 and $31,710, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.

Answers

Answer:cost of goods sold in 2020 = $1,352,470

retained earnings in December 31, 2020 =$5,537,590

Explanation:

For cost of goods sold in 2020

Corrected cost of goods sold =  Reported cost of goods sold in 2020 - overstated value of ending inventory in year 2019 + overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020

=  $1,419,800 -$99,040+  $31,710,

= $1,352,470    

For retained earnings in December 31, 2020

Corrected retained earnings == Reported retained earning in 2020 -  overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020

= $5,569,300-$31,710

=$5,537,590

6. Job 412

Selling price per unit = $9,253

Explanation:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $360,000

Estimated direct labor hours = 900

Predetermined overhead rate = $360,000/900 = $400 per DLH

Beginning Inventory Balances:

Raw materials $49,000

Work in process $40,000

Finished Goods $79,000

Job 412

Direct materials = $9,900

Direct labor hours = 35

Direct labor cost = $10,800

Applied overhead = $14,000 ($400 * 35)

Total cost = $34,700

Units in Job 412 = 6

Unit cost = $5,783 ($34,700/6)

Selling price = 60% markup

Answer the question on the basis of the following two schedules, which show the amounts of additional satisfaction (marginal utility) that a consumer would get from successive quantities of products J and K.

a. 4 units of J and 5 units of K.
b. 6 units of J and 3 units of K.
c. 5 units of J and 5 units of K.
d. 2 units of J and 7 units of K.

Answers

Answer:

d. 2 units of J and 7 units of K.

Explanation:

Marginal utility of a consumer is the measure of the benefit gained by consuming each additional unit. In the given scenario the consumer will gain from consuming each additional unit of J and K. When the consumer will have more of J then his marginal utility will decline which indicates that there should be combination of J and K.

It is important to understand the nature of different political systems and develop an awareness of and appreciation for the significance of national differences. Political systems are assessed according to two dimensions. The first is the degree to which they emphasize collectivism as opposed to individualism. The second is the degree to which they are democratic or totalitarian. These dimensions are interrelated and may share certain characteristics.

Collectivism can be defined as an economical, political or cultural system in which communities (group of people) are generally valued over individuals.

On the other hand, individualism is a sharp contrast to collectivism because it is an economical, political or cultural system in which individuals are generally valued over communities (group of people).

Also, a democratic government is a form of government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Totalitarianism can be defined as a form of centralized government that has an absolute control over the state. Thus, totalitarianism completely prohibits individual freedom, opposing ideologies, principles, political parties, and requires the people to be subservient to the state.

Simply stated, totalitarianism is an autocratic or dictatorial form of government.
