Exercise 5-10 Lower of cost or market LO P2 Martinez Company's ending inventory includes the following items. Product Units Cost per Unit Market per Unit Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54 Bats 29 76 82 Shoes 50 95 99 Uniforms 54 40 40 Compute the lower of cost or market for ending inventory applied separately to each product.
Answer:
Helmets $ 1,944
Bats $ 2,204
Shoes $ 4,750
Uniforms $ 2,000
Explanation:
We will compare between the cost and the proceeds from sale of the units. As accounting wants to represent reality it cannot value the company goods higher than it can acceess to it in the market regardless of the purchase cost.
This may generate losses to represent the decrease in the overall value of the good.
Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54
Helmets cost is higher than market so we recognize a loss an valued at $54
36 units x $54 = $1,944
Bats 29 $76 $82
Bats productions cost is lower so we keep it.
29 units x $76 = $2,204
Shoes 50 $95 $99
Shoes also has a lower production cost
50 units x $95 = $4,750
Uniforms 54 $40 $40
As they are the same we just leave with $40
50 units x $40 = $2000
Lake Erie Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Next year, 700,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000
Direct labor hours 167,000 DLH 267,000 DLH
Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH
a. $10.86 per unit
b. $8.73 per unit
c. $4.22 per unit
d. $11.77 per unit
e. $10 per unit
Answer:
$7.70 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the overhead rate per unit we first need to compute the estimated amount which is as follows
Total manufacturing cost
= Department 1 + department 2
= $31,41,500.00 + $15,71,000.00
= $47,12,500.00
Total machine hours
= Department 1 + department 2
= 267,000 MH + 192,000 MH
= 459000 MH
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total machine hours
= $4,712,500 ÷ 459,000 MHs
= $10.27 per MH
Now overhead per unit is
= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH × Machine Hours required per unit
= $10.27 per MH × 0.75 MHs per unit
= $7.70 per unit
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

$2,000,000d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales?
15,625 shirts $14,375,000e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
47,322 shirts$43,536,240Explanation:
selling price per shirt $800 x 24,000 = $19,200,000
variable cost per shirt $600 x 24,000 = $14,400,000
total fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $800,000
contribution margin per unit = $800 - $600 = $200
break even point = $4,000,000 / $200 = 20,000 shirts x $800 = $16,000,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($19,200,000 - $16,000,000) / $19,200,000 = 16.67%
if 30,000 shirts were sold:
contribution margin 30,000 x $200 = $6,000,000
fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $2,000,000
if sales price increases to $920, contribution margin = $320
fixed costs increase to $5,000,000
break even point = $5,000,000 / 320 = 15,625 shirts x $920 = $14,375,000
fixed costs increase to %6,000,000
targeted profit $8,000,000 + tax rate = $9,142,857
sales target = ($6,000,000 + $9,142,857) / $320 = 47,321.43 ≈ 47,322 shirts
Clemmens Company applies overhead based on direct labor cost. Estimated overhead and direct labor costs for the year were $120,500 and $124,100, respectively. During the year, actual overhead was $106,500 and actual direct labor cost was $110,800. The entry to close the over- or underapplied overhead at year-end, assuming an immaterial amount, would include
Answer:
Under/over applied overhead= $1,164.48 overapplied
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead and direct labor costs for the year were $120,500 and $124,100, respectively. During the year, actual overhead was $106,500 and actual direct labor cost was $110,800.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 120,500/124,100
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.971
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 0.971*110,880= $107,664.48
Finally, we determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 106,500 - 107,664.48
Under/over applied overhead= $1,164.48 overapplied

Carl purchased an apartment complex for $2.6 million on March 17 of year 1. of the purchase price, $1,050,000 was attributable to the land the complex sits on. He also installed new furniture into half of the units at a cost of $75,000. What is Carl's allowable depreciation deduction for his real property for years 1 and 2? (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
total depreciation year 1 = $71,358
total depreciation year 2 = $80,358
Explanation:
Land cannot be depreciated, therefore Carl can only depreciate the building's cost = $2,600,000 - $1,050,000 = $1,550,000
Rental property can be depreciated at a fixed rate of 3.636% per year during 27.5 years. Depreciation per year for the building = $56,358
Furniture on rental property can be depreciated on a 5 year basis using a MACRS table and half year convention:
depreciation year 1 = 20% x $75,000 = $15,000
depreciation year 2 = 32% x $75,000 = $24,000
total depreciation year 1 = $56,358 + $15,000 = $71,358
total depreciation year 2 = $56,358 + $24,000 = $80,358

Mr. Zeplin wants to make a cash gift to each of his five children, to each of their five spouses, and to each of his 13 grandchildren. Assume the taxable year is 2019. How much total wealth can he transfer to his descendants without making a taxable gift if he is an unmarried individual
Answer:
Total wealth transfer is $345000.
Explanation:
Given the number of children = 5
Total number of spouses = 5
Total number of grandchildren = 13
If the individual is unmarried then below is the calculation of wealth transfer to the descendants with the taxable gifts.
In 2018, an individual unmarried person can transfer wealth without tax or free of gift tax is $15000 per person. So the total number of persons to whom the wealth is to be transferred 5 + 5 + 13 = 23 persons.
Total wealth Mr. Zeplin transfer without tax = 15000 × 23 persons = $345000
3. If the average price of an airline ticket on a certain route rises from $200 to $250, the number of tickets sold drop from 800 to 600. Calculate the price elasticity of demand. Is the demand elastic or inelastic?
Answer:
-Price elasticity of demand=0.77
-The demand is inelastic because the elasticity is 0.77 and this number is less than 1.
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the price elasticity of demand is:
Price elasticity of demand=% change in the quantity demanded/% change in the price
To use this formula you have to calculate the % change in the quantity demanded and % change in the price:
% change in the quantity demanded=(Q2-Q1/((Q2+Q1)/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(250-200/((250+200)/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(50/(450/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(50/225)*100
% change in the quantity demanded=22.22%
% change in the price=(P2-P1/((P2+P1)/2))*100
% change in the price=(600-800/((600+800)/2))*100
% change in the price=(-200/(1400/2))*100
% change in the price=(-200/700)*100
% change in the price=-28.57%
Now, you can replace the values in the formula to to calculate the price elasticity of demand:
Price elasticity of demand= 22.22%/-28.57%
Price elasticity of demand=0.77
The price elasticity of the demand is 0.77. An elastic demand is when the elasticity is greater than 1 and an inelastic demand is when the elasticity is less than one. So, according to this, the demand is inelastic because the elasticity is 0.77 and this number is less than 1.
PortaCom manufactures notebook computers and related equipment. PortaCom's product design group developed a prototype for a new high-quality portable printer. The new printer features an innovative design and has the potential to capture a significant share of the portable printer market. Preliminary marketing and financial analyses provided the following selling price, first-year administrative cost, and first-year advertising cost:
Selling Price $284 per unit
Administrative Cost $500,000
Advertising Cost $700,000
In the simulation model for the PortaCom problem, the preceding values are constants and are referred to as parameters of the model.
(a) An engineer on the product development team believes that first-year sales for the new printer will be 18,500 units. Using estimates of $50 per unit for the direct labor cost and $88 per unit for the parts cost, what is the first-year profit using the engineer's sales estimate?
(b) The financial analyst on the product development team is more conservative, indicating that parts cost may well be $101 per unit. In addition, the analyst suggests that a sales volume of 9,500 units is more realistic. Using the most likely value of $50 per unit for the direct labor cost, what is the first-year profit using the financial analyst's estimates?

Vernon is a cash basis taxpayer with a calendar tax year. On October 1, 2019, Vernon entered into a lease to rent a building for use in his business at $3,000 a month. On that day Vernon paid 18 months' rent on the building, a total of $54,000 ($3,000 × 18 months). How much may Vernon deduct for rent expense on his 2019 tax return?
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount Vernon deduct for rent expense on his 2019 tax return will be :
Rent(lease)×Numbers of months used
Where:
Rent (lease)= 3,000
Numbers of months=3
Hence:
3,000×3=$9,000
Therefore the amount Vernon deduct for rent expense on his 2019 tax return is $9,000 which is 3000×3 month.
The 3 months is from 1st October to 31st December.
Ratio analysis A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making.There are several groups of ratios most decision makers and analysts use to examine different aspects of a company's performance. Based on the descriptions of ratios listed, identify the relevant category of ratios.Ratios that help determine whether a company can access its cash and pay its short-term obligations are called______ratios.Ratios that help determine the efficiency with which a company manages its day-to-day tasks and assets are called______ratios.Ratios that help assess a company's ability to service the interest and repayment obligations on its long-term debt and the degree to which it uses borrowed versus invested financial capital are called______ratios. _______ratios help measure a company's ability to generate income and profits based on its invested capital.______ratios examine the market value of a company's share price, its profits and cash dividends, and the book value of the firm's assets and relate them to other data items to determine how the firm is perceived in the stock market. Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry. However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses. Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis? A. Seasonal factors can distort data B. Window dressing might be in effect. C. Market data is not sufficiently considered.
Answer: 1. a. Liquidity Ratios
b. Activity Ratios
c. Financial Ratios
d. Profitability Ratios
e. Market Value Ratios
2. A. Seasonal factors can distort data
B. Window dressing might be in effect.
Explanation:
a. Liquidity Ratios give the company an idea of it's ability to access hard currency. Examples include the Current ratio and the Quick ratio.
b. Activity Ratios allows stakeholders know how efficient the company is at running daily operations. Examples include; Receivables Turnover and Asset Turnover ratios.
c. Financial Ratios are very important to the company as they can decide if a company will be able to get loans. They include ratios that measure the firm's ability to pay off debt as well as the overall condition of the firm in terms of it's finances.
Examples include; Net Profit Margin and Debt to Asset ratio.
d. Profitability Ratios
These help ascertain the ability of the business to make returns based on its resources. Examples include Return on Assets and Return on Equity.
e. Market Value Ratio
These essentially help the company and other stake holders know what the company is worth in the market. An example is the Book Value per Share ratio.
2. Seasonal Factors may indeed distort data depending on the type of industry that the firm is into and ratios will usually not show this. For instance, an Ice Cream company will not have strong sales in winter so when interpreting ratio analysis it would be important to note that this could happen.
Another weakness is that ratios are calculated based on the figures that are given by a company. These figures may not truly reflect the actual situation of the company when management supply more optimistic figures than is true. This is called Window Dressing.
It will have the effect of distorting the ratios so that they do not represent a true representation of the actual situation of the company.

Explanation:
Adjusting entries are prepared at the end of an accounting period to being the accounts to the accrual basis from the state of the cash basis. The purpose is to reflect on transactions that took place instead of emphasizing the receipt and payment of cash. These entries, therefore, agree with the accrual concept which requires that transactions be recognized based on the period to which the expense or revenue is incurred or earned instead of when cash payment or receipt takes place.
Pizza is a normal good if the demand Group of answer choices
a. for pizza rises when income rises.
b. for pizza rises when the price of pizza falls.
c. curve for pizza slopes upward.
d. curve for pizza shifts to the right when the price of burritos rises, assuming pizza and burritos are substitutes.
Answer:
Option A, For Pizza rise when income rises.
Explanation:
Option A is correct because the income of the consumer and the demand for normal goods are positively related. So when consumer's income increases then the demand for normal goods also increases. If the income falls then the demand for normal goods also falls. Therefore, the movement in the same direction shows that there is a direct relationship between normal goods and the income of the consumer.
Super Carpeting Inc. just paid a dividend of $2.64 and its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.50% per year. If the required return on Super's stock is 13.75% what is the intristic value of Super's shares?
A- $48.00 per share
B- $32.00 per share
C- $33.76 per share
D- $38.40 per share
Which of the following statements is true about the constant growth model?
A- the constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rate is more than its required return
B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return
Use the constant growth model to calculate the appropriate values to complete the following statements about Super Carpeting Inc.
If Super stock is equilibrium, the current expected dividend yield on the stock will be ______ per share
Super's expected stock price one year from today will be ____ per share
If Super's stock is in equilibrium, the current expected capital gains yield on Supers stock will be _____
Answer:
1. C. $33.76 per share
2. B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return
3. 8.25% ; $35.62 ; 5.5%
Explanation:
1. Using the Constant Growth Model to calculate the intrinsic value would be best given the above values.
The formula is;
Value = Next Dividend / (Required Return - Growth rate)
Value = (2.64 * ( 1 + 5.5%)) / ( 13.75% - 5.5%)
Value = 2.7852/8.25%
Value = $33.76
2. Going by the formula, if the expected growth rate is more than the required return, the intrinsic value would be a negative number and a stock's price cannot go below 0. The growth rate has to be less than the required return for this to work.
3. At Equilibrium, the stock dividend is growing as it should.
Dividend Yield should therefore be;
= Next Dividend / Stock Value * 100
= (2.7852 / 33.76) * 100
= 8.25%
Stock Price should grow at the growth rate so;
= 33.76 * ( 1 + 0.055)
= $35.62
Gains yield refers to what rate the stock will change in value. Growth rate is 5.5% so that will be the answer.
On January 2, 2021, the Jackson Company purchased equipment to be used in its manufacturing process. The equipment has an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $50,125. The expenditures made to acquire the asset were as follows:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6800
Installation charges 10,000
Jackson's policy is to use the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation in the early years of the equipment's life and then switch to straight line halfway through the equipment's life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for each year of the asset's eight-year life.
Answer:
Jackson Company
Calculation of the Depreciation for each year:
a) Using the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation:
1st year, the depreciation charge = $59,200 ($236,800 x 25%)
2nd year, the depreciation charge = $44,400 ($236,800 - 59,200) x 25%
3rd year, the depreciation charge = $33,300 ($236,800 - 103,600) x 25%
4th year, the depreciation charge = $24,975 ($236,800 - 136,900) x 25%
5th year, the usage of straight-line method commences:
Depreciation charge = $58,100/4 = $14,525
6th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
7th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
8th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
Explanation:
a) Asset's recognized cost:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6,800
Installation charges 10,000
Total cost = $236,800
b) Useful life = 8 years, with salvage value of $50,125.
c) Double-declining balance depreciation rate = 25% (100/8 * 2)
d) Accumulated Depreciation at the end of:
1st year = $59,200
2nd year = $103,600 ($59,200 + 44,400)
3rd year = $136,900 ($103,600 + 33,300)
4th year = $128,575 ($136,900 + 24,975)
5th year = $143,100 ($128,575 + 14,525)
6th year = $157,625 ($143,100 + 14,525)
7th year = $172,150 ($157,625 + 14,525)
8th year = $186,675 ($172,150 + 14,525)
e) Book value of asset at the end of the fourth year:
Cost = $236,800
Accumulated depreciation $128,575
Book value = $108,225
Salvage value = $50,125
Straight-line depreciable amount = $58,100
f) The double-declining-balance depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation method that expenses the cost of an asset more rapidly by multiplying the straight-line method's rate by 2 and applying this rate on the reducing balance. On the other hand, the straight-line depreciation method uses the same amount of depreciation each year over an asset's useful life. The double-declining balance method does not take into consideration the salvage value unlike the straight-line depreciation method until towards the end of the useful life of the asset.
On January​ 1, 2018, the Prepaid Insurance account of​ Dogwood, Inc. had a beginning balance of $ 1,800. Three months of insurance premiums remain in this beginning balance. On February​ 21, 2018, the company paid an annual insurance premium in the amount of $ 4,100 for the period beginning March 1. On February​ 28, 2018, the balance in Prepaid Insurance is $ 1,200.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
Beginning balance
-Period of policy= expired 2 months
-Period of unexpired insurance = 1 month (Out of 3 month, Insurance premium for period "Jan 1 to Feb 28" is expired)
Amount in prepaid insurance insurance= $1800 * 1/3 = $600
Current balance
Period = "0" since period of coverage will start from 1 march
Period of unexpired insurance = 12
Amount in prepaid insurance = 4,100
Thus, Total amount in prepaid insurance for the beginning and Current period= $600 + $4,100 = $4,700
The amount in prepaid insurance is $4700, hence the balance as stipulated as Prepaid Insurance = $ 1,200 is false
Edison has just paid an annual dividend of $3 per share. If the expected growth rate for Con Ed is 10%, and your required rate of return is 16%, how much are you willing to pay for this stock
Answer:
$55 per share
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the dividend discount model (DDM) formula as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price or the amount you are willing to pay today
D1 = Next dividend = Current dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $3 * (1 + 0.10) = $3.30
r = required return = 16%. or 0.16
g = growth rate = 10% = 0.10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $3.30 / (0.16 - 0.10) = $55 per share
Therefore, you are willing to pay $55 per share for this stock.
