The journal entry to record the transfer of partially completed work in process to the next process in process costing is a(n): Multiple choice question. increase in assets and an increase in liabilities decrease in assets and a decrease in liabilities decrease in one asset and an increase in another asset increase in assets and an increase in equity

Answers

Answer:

decrease in one asset and an increase in another asset increase.

Explanation:

Work-in-process inventories can be defined as a number of partially completed goods which are still in the process of being transformed into finish products that meets the needs of consumers.

Generally, the work-in-process inventories include the following raw materials cost, direct labor cost and factory overhead cost.

These category of products are only partially completed and as such are waiting for further processing, still undergoing fabrication or kept in a buffer storage.

A journal entry involves the process of keeping the records of business transactions made by an organization.

The journal entry is used by bookkeepers and accountants. Ideally, it is important that a journal has all of following informations; date, reference number, debit balance, credit balance and transaction description.

Hence, the journal entry to record the transfer of partially completed work in process to the next process in process costing is a decrease in one asset and an increase in another asset increase.

Now suppose they change their tasks, so that each individual does nothing but the task in which she or he has a comparative advantage. How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day?

____4_____ additional floral arrangements

____5____ additional deliveries

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Time it takes Anita to finish one floral arrangement = 30 minutes

Time it takes Anita to make a delivery = 40 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to finish one floral arrangement = 10 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to make a delivery = 30 minutes

b) Absolute Advantage: Jerome will finish 3 floral arrangements (30/10), whereas Anita can only finish 1 in 30 minutes.

c) Anita's opportunity cost is the time it will take her to make a delivery using the same time it takes her to finish one floral arrangement.  In 30 minutes time, she can only make (30/40) 0.75 deliveries.  Using 40 minutes of making a delivery, she can finish 1.33 (40/30) floral arrangements.

d) Anita's comparative advantage in making deliveries is based on her opportunity cost when compared with Jerome's opportunity cost of making deliveries.

The four types of consumer products differ in terms of the (1) effort the consumer spends on the decision, (2) attributes used in making the purchase decision, and (3) frequency of purchase. Convenience items are items that the consumer purchases frequently, conveniently, and with a minimum of shopping effort. Shopping products are items for which the consumer compares several alternatives on criteria such as price, quality, or style. Specialty products are items that the consumer makes a special effort to search out and buy. Unsought products are items that the consumer either does not know about or knows about but does not initially want.Two broad categories of products widely used in marketing relate to the type of user. Consumer products are products purchased by the ultimate consumer, whereas business products (also called B2B products or industrial products) are products organizations buy that assist in providing other products for resale.

On December 30, 2014, Yang Corporation granted compensatory stock options for 5,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock to certain of its key employees. The options may be exercised after 2 years of employment. Market price of the common stock on that date was $30 per share and the option price was $30 per share. Using a fair value option pricing model, total compensation expense is determined to be $80,000. The options are exercisable beginning January 1, 2017, providing those key employees are still in the employ of the company at the time the options are exercised. The options expire on January 1, 2018.

Say you are planning to start a new business. You expect to have losses for the first 2 years and then achieve significant profits. But, in order to grow, you will need to be able to keep the after-tax earnings. You also want to limit your liability. How will you structure your business regarding issuing debt versus increasing equity and why

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

It is perfectly natural that the loss will occur at the start. Since it is not able to pay fixed interest obligations, a preferential or equity capital increase is recommended. The debt fund will create a financial crisis in the capital structure because it will be difficult for the company to fulfil its payment obligation on the initial stage.

The composition of debt capital will contribute to a certain tax savings, but it will certainly increase the overall outflow of the fund.

For Example:  

Total Capital is 1,000,000 costing of 500,00 debt and 500,000 equity and 40 % tax bracket.  

Suppose total return is 10% on capital.

Earnings for the year :   1,000,000 * 10 %  =   100,000

Interest obligation (assume borrowed at 12 % )      = 60,000

Profit before tax                                                        = 40,000

Tax at the rate  40%                                                 =  16,000

Earning after tax available for growth                     = 24,000

Total capital only consists of equities in this example.

The earnings will be same                                        =  100,000

Less tax at the rate 40 %                                           =  40,000

Net earnings available for future growth                 = 60,000

We have an extra earnings available for future growth is 36,000 (60,000 - 24,000).

Ignore tax saving 24,000 (40,000 - 16,000) Because the enterprise requires more for future growth following tax earnings at the initial stage.

So,

The business was structured to maximize the use of own resources instead of borrowing the fund.

Thomas entered a four-year sales-type lease with a lessee. The lease is for equipment with a fair value of $40,000, a cost of $34,000, and a residual value of $7,000. The lease has an implicit rate of 6%. The present value factor of a single sum for four periods at 6% is .79209, and the present value factor of an ordinary annuity for four periods at 6% is 3.46511. What amount of gross profit will Thomas report if the lease has a(n) Guaranteed Residual Value Unguarantee

Answers

Answer: $6,000 for both guaranteed and unguaranteed residual value.

Explanation:

Gross Profit = Selling price - Cost of sales

Selling price = Fair value - Present value of residual value

= 40,000 - (7,000 * present value factor, 6%, 4 periods)

= 40,000 - (7,000 * 0.79209)

= $‭34,455.37‬

Cost of sales = Cost - Present value of residual value

=  34,000 - (7,000 * 0.79209)

= $‭28,455.37‬

Gross Profit = 34,455.37 - 28,455.37

= $6,000

The Monetary Policy of Tazi is controlled by the country's central bank known as the Bank of Tazi. The local unit of currency is the Tazian dollar. Aggregate banking statistics show that collectively the banks of Tazi hold $300 million of required reserves, $75 million of excess reserves, have issued $7,500 million of deposits, and hold $225 million of Tazian Treasury bonds. Tazians prefer to use only demand deposits and so all money is on deposit at the bank. Refer to Scenario 29-1. Assume that banks desire to continue holding the same ratio of excess reserves to deposits. What is the reserve requirement and the reserve ratio for Tazian Banks

Answers

Answer:

Reserve requirement is the percentage of deposits that the monetary authority keeps in reserves out of deposits.

Reserve requirement = Required reserves / Total deposits

= 300 / 7,500

Reserve requirement  = 4%

Reserve ratio is the percentage of reserves held by the banks.

= (Required reserves  + excess reserves ) / Total deposits

= ( 300 + 75) / 7,500

Reserve ratio = 5%

The reserve requirement is the percentage of deposits held in reserves by the monetary authority. The Reserve Ratio is the number of reserves held by banks as a percentage of total assets. So, the reserve requirement is 4% and the reserve ratio is 5%.

How do you compute reserve requirements and ratios?

An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3700 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.90 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1550 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:

Answers

Answer: $88.62

Explanation:

First find the costs associated with the order.

= Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable selling expense + Contribution margin lost from cutting back production for regular customers

Contriution margin lost from cutting production = Selling price - Direct material - Direct labor - Variable manufacturing overhead - Variable selling expense

= 120.10 - 51.10 - 9.80 - 5.20

= $54

= (3,700 * 51.10) + (3,700 * 9.80) + (3,700 * 2.80) + ((5.20 - 2.90) * 3,700) + ( 54 * 1,550)

= $‭327,900‬

Price per unit = ‭327,900‬ / 3,700

Towne Snow Removal's cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $1,470 per month plus $399 per snow-day. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 13 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 9 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $5,230. The vehicle operating cost in the flexible budget for November would be closest to:

Answers

Answer: $5061

Explanation:

The vehicle operating cost in the flexible budget for November would be calculated as:

= Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit × Quantity)

= $1470 + ($399 × 9)

= $1470 + $3591

= $5061

Therefore, the vehicle operating cost in the flexible budget for November would be closest to $5061.

Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 16,500 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 3.60 Direct labor $ 8.20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8.70 Supervisor's salary $ 4.10 Depreciation of special equipment $ 2.50 Allocated general overhead $ 7.70 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.50 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $28,500 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:

Answers

Answer:

Financial disadvantage = 45,750

Explanation:

First of all, we need to sort out the data given in this question.

Data Given:

Per Unit Direct materials = $ 3.60

Direct labor = $ 8.20

Variable manufacturing overhead  = $ 8.70

Supervisor's salary =  $ 4.10

Depreciation of special equipment =  $ 2.50

Allocated general overhead =  $ 7.70

Offer by outside supplier = $27.50

So,

Cost of making = [(3.60+8.20+8.70+2.50)*16,500]+28,500 (Opportunity cost)

Cost of Making = (23*16,500)+28,500

Cost of Making = 408,000

Cost of buying = 16,500*27.50

Cost of buying = 453,750

Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying

Financial disadvantage = 453,750 - 408,000

Patricia and Joe Payne are divorced. The divorce settlement stipulated that Joe pay $550 a month for their daughter Suzanne until she turns 18 in 3 years. Interest is 6% a year. How much must Joe set aside today to meet the settlement? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

Present Value= $18,079.05

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly payment= $550

Number of months= 3*12= 36 months

Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005

To calculate the lump sum to set aside to pay the settlement, first, we need to calculate the future value:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

FV= {550*[(1.005^36) - 1]} / 0.005

FV= $21,634.85

Now, the present value:

PV= FV / (1+i)^n

PV= 21,634.85 / (1.005^36)

PV= $18,079.05

How are private loans different than federal loans?

Answers

Answer:

When comparing federal loans vs private loans, the key difference is that federal loans are provided by the government and private loans are provided by banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Each has its own student loan eligibility criteria, application process, and terms and conditions.

(Land’s End) Geoff Gullo owns a small firm that manufactures "Gullo Sunglasses." He has the opportunity to sell a particular seasonal model to Land’s End. Geoff offers Land’s End two purchasing options: ∙ Option 1. Geoff offers to set his price at $65 and agrees to credit Land’s End $53 for each unit Land’s End returns to Geoff at the end of the season (because those units did not sell). Since styles change each year, there is essentially no value in the returned merchandise. ∙ Option 2. Geoff offers a price of $55 for each unit, but returns are no longer accepted. In this case, Land’s End throws out unsold units at the end of the season. This season’s demand for this model will be normally distributed with mean of 200 and standard deviation of 125. Land’s End will sell those sunglasses for $100 each. Geoff ’s production cost is $25. a. How much would Land’s End buy if they chose option 1? [14.3] b. How much would Land’s End buy if they chose option 2? [14.3] c. Which option will Land’s End choose? [14.4] d. Suppose Land’s End chooses option 1 and orders 275 units. What is Geoff Gullo’s expected profit? [14.4]

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

a)

Answer-a with option-1

the land end sale price is $100, purchase cost is $65 and salvege valu is $53

So the underage cost = Cu = 100-65 = 35 and overage cost = Co = 65-53 = 12

the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 35/47 = 0.7422

From the standard normal distribution function The Z value at 0.7422 = 0.66

The optimal order quantity = 200 + 0.66 x 125 = 282.5

The optimal order quantity = 282.5

b)

Answer-b with option-1

the land end sale price is $100, purchase cost is $55 and salvage value is $0

So the underage cost = Cu = 100-55 = 45 and overage cost = Co = 55-0 = 55

the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 45/100 = 0.45

From the standard normal distribution function The Z value at 0.45 = -0.12

the optimal order quantity = 200 - 0.12 x 125

The optimal order quantity = 185

c)

We have to calculate the expected profit in each case to determine which option Lands Ends should choose.

With option-1 Geoff's sells 282.5 units at $65 for total revenue of 18363 and production cost of 282.5 = 7063

Geoff credits Lands ends for each returned sunglass so we need to evaluate how many sunglasses Land Ends return.

Expected lost sales = 125 x 0.1528 = 19.1

Expected sales = 200 - 19.1 = 180.9

expected left over inventory = 282.5 - 180.9 = 101.6

Expected profit = (100-65) x 180.9 - (65-53)x 101.6 = 5112

Expected profit = 5112

Similarly with option 2 the Expected profit = 4053

So option-1 is preferred.

d)

If the Land chooses option-1 and orders 275 units Then Geoff earn = 275 x $65 = $17875

and production cost = $25 x 275 = $6875

With order quantity 275 the z statistics = 0.6

and expected lost sales = 125 x 0.6 = 21.09

Expected left over inventory = 275-200+21.09 = 96.09

So the Geoff's buy back cost = 96.09 x 53 = $5093

and expected profit = $17875 - $5093 = $5907

expected profit = $5907

(A)The optimal order quantity = 282.5

(B) The optimal order quantity = 185

(C) Expected profit = 4053

(D) Expected profit = $5907

What is Optical order quantity?

a) Answer-a with option-1

When the land end sale price is $100, the purchase cost is $65 and also the salvage value is $53

So the underage cost is = Cu = 100-65 = 35 and

overage cost is = Co = then is 65-53 = 12 the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 35/47 = 0.7422

From the quality Gaussian distribution function The Z value at 0.7422 is = 0.66

Then, The optimal order quantity is = 200 + 0.66 x 125 = 282.5

Thus, The optimal order quantity = 282.5

b) Answer-b with option-1

When the land end sale price is $100, the purchase cost is $55 and also the salvage value is $0

So the underage cost is = Cu = 100-55 = 45 and overage cost is = Co = 55-0 = 55

the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu + Co) = 45/100 = 0.45

From the quality Gaussian distribution function The Z value at 0.45 = -0.12

Then the optimal order quantity = 200 - 0.12 x 125

Thus, The optimal order quantity is = 185

c) Then We have to calculate the expected profit in each case to work out which option Lands Ends should choose.

With option-1 Geoff's sells 282.5 units at $65 for total revenue of 18363 and a cost of 282.5 = 7063

When Geoff credits Lands ends for every returned sunglass so we want to judge what number of sunglasses Land Ends returns.

Then the Expected lost sales is = 125 x 0.1528 = 19.1

After that Expected sales is = 200 - 19.1 = 180.9

Then expected left over inventory is = 282.5 - 180.9 = 101.6

After that Expected profit is = (100-65) x 180.9 - (65-53)x 101.6 = 5112

Thus, Expected profit is = 5112

Similarly, with option 2, the Expected profit is = 4053

So option-1 is preferred.

d) If the Land chooses option-1 and also orders 275 units Then Geoff earn = 275 x $65 = $17875 and also the cost is = $25 x 275 = $6875

With order quantity 275 the z statistics = 0.6 and also expected lost sales = 125 x 0.6 = 21.09

Then Expected left over inventory is = 275-200+21.09 = 96.09

So the Geoff's repurchase cost = 96.09 x 53 = $5093

and also expected profit is = $17875 - $5093 = $5907

Thus, Expected profit is = $5907

Answers

Answer:

$1.86

Explanation:

Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock  ÷ Common Stock Outstanding

Old Earnings Per Share

Earnings per Share = $6,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000 = $6.00

New Earnings Per Share

Answers

Answer:

50,600 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units to be produced in September is given below:

= sales + ending inventory - opening inventory

= 51,000 units + (40% of 50,000 units) - (40% of 51,000 units)

= 51,000 units + 20,000 units - 20,400 units

= 50,600 units
