ABC estimates uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable. What effect will recording the estimate of uncollectible accounts have on the accounting equation
Answer: Decrease assets and decrease stockholders' equity
Explanation:
If ABC estimates the uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable, the effect that the recording of the estimate of the uncollectible accounts will have on the accounting equation is that there will be a decrease in assets and there'll also be a decrease in the stockholders' equity.
We should note that the accounts uncollectible simply refers to the loans, receivables or other forms of debt that there's no chance of it being paid. Therefore, when they are estimated based on the percentage of accounts receivable, there'll be a reduction in both the assets and the stockholders equity.

An apparel manufacturing plant has estimated the variable cost to be $4.20 per unit. Fixed costs are $1,300,000 per year. Forty percent of its business is with one preferred customer and the customer is charged at cost. The remaining 60% of the business is with several different customers who are charged $20 per unit. If 200,000 total units are sold in a year, compute the unit cost per item.
Answer:
$10.7
Explanation:
Variable cost ($4.2 × 200,000)
$840,000
Fixed cost
$1,300,000
Total cost
= Fixed cost + variable cost
= $1,300,000 + $840,000
= $2,140,000
Therefore,
Unit cost per item
= Total cost / Total units sold
= $2,140,000 / 200,000
= $10.7
Consider relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and remember the consumer price index (CPI) provides the price level in a country at any point in time. Assume CPI in the US is 165 in 2010 and 200 in 2015, and CPI in Canada is 170 in 2010 and 220 in 2015 (with base year as 2000). If the spot exchange rate was 0.7640 USD/CAD in 2010, what is it in 2015 if relative PPP holds
Answer:
0.7156 USD/CAD
Explanation:
Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:
S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)
==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period
==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period
==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country
==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.
Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country
I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%
I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%
On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:
S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)
S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996
S(1) = 0.764*0.936635
S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD
If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD

a. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has less liquidity but also a greater reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening.
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations.
d. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving.
Answer:
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening. TRUE
higher liabilities respect to current assets, decrease the company's ability to meet its short term payments
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. TRUE
the current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
the quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities
the difference between both shows the dependence on selling inventory to pay off debts.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. TRUE
A portfolio consists of three stocks. There are 540 shares of Stock A valued at $24.20 share, 310 shares of Stock B valued at $48.10 a share, and 200 shares of Stock C priced at $26.50 a share. Stocks A, B, and C are expected to return 8.3 percent, 16.4 percent, and 11.7 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on this portfolio
Answer: 12.47%
Explanation:
The value of each stock will be gotten by their unit multiplied by the price.
Value of Stock A = 540 × 24 2 = 13068
Value of stock B = 310 × 48.1 = 14911
Value of stock C = 200 × 26.5 = 5300
Total value of stock = 33279
Weight of stock A = 13068 / 33279 = 0.393
Weight of stock B = 14911 / 33279 = 0.448
Weight of stock C = 5300 / 33279 = 0.159
The expected return on this portfolio will then be:
= (0.393 × 8.3) + (0.448 × 16.4) + (0.159 × 11.7)
= 12.47%

Answer:
120
Explanation:
Calculation for how much of good A will she purchase
First step is to calculate Qa
1 / 0.5Qa = 1 / 4Qb
0.5Qa = 4Qb
Qa = 4 / 0.5 Qb
Qa = 8Qb
Second step is to calculate Qb
Qb = 120/8
Qb = 15
Now let calculate how much of good A will she purchase
Using this formula
Good A=Qa* Qb
Good A= 15 * 8
Good A = 120
Therefore how much of good A will she purchase is 120
The Krisp Kracker company which makes unique kettle chips for restaurants, clubs, and events, has just lost a large client that made up 55% of its total revenue. Management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. This comes only three months after hiring 35 new people to support this big client. While there are rumors of wage reductions in the short run, the 100 employees who have been with the company for the past two years are grumbling that they are more valuable that the new hires which should be let go and the wages not reduced. The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates which wage stickiness theory best
Answer:
The Krisp Kracker Company
The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates the Insider-Outsider Wage Stickiness theory best.
Explanation:
This theory suggests that the 100 employees are the insiders while the 35 newly employed are outsiders. Therefore, at negotiations between the employer and the employees, the 100 employees would also like to negotiate employment terms to the exclusion of the outsiders because they feel that they enjoy a juicier and more privileged position.

A competitive firm sells its output for $50 per unit. Assume that labor is the only input that varies for the firm. The marginal product of the 10th worker is 10 units of output per day; the marginal product of the 11th worker is 8 units of output per day. The firm pays its workers a wage of $160 per day. For the 10th worker, the value of the marginal product of labor is
Answer:
the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the marginal product of labor is shown below:
= MRP × price per unit
= 10 units × $50 per unit
= $500
hence, the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
We simply applied the above formula
Alfa Co. produces a product that has a variable cost of $3.00 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $30,000. The product is sold for $5.00 per unit and the company desires to earn a target profit of $20,000. What is the amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 25,000
Break-even point (dollars)= $125,000
Explanation:
To calculate the number of units to be sold and the sales dollars required, we will use the break-even point analysis. The following formulas are required:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (30,000 + 20,000) / (5 - 3)
Break-even point in units= 25,000
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 50,000 / (2/5)
Break-even point (dollars)= $125,000
The amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit is $125,000.
Desired profitContribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin ratio=5-3/5
Contribution margin ratio=2/5
Contribution margin ratio=0.4
Desired profit= (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin ratio
Desired profit=(30,000 + 20,000) / 0.4
Desired profit=50,000/0.5
Desired profit=$125,000
Inconclusion the amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit is $125,000.

Arntson, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product R3 and Product N0. The annual production and sales of Product of R3 is 1,200 units and of Product N0 is 200 units. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-HoursProduct R3 1,200 4.0 4,800Product N0 200 2.0 400Total direct labor-hours 5,200The direct labor rate is $26.20 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $228.00 for Product R3 and $300.00 for Product N0.The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:Estimated Expected ActivityActivity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product R3 Product N0 TotalLabor-related DLHs $ 40,536 4,800 400 5,200Production orders orders 60,270 1,300 200 1,500Order size MHs 432,975 3,900 3,500 7,400$ 533,781The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Unitary cost= $926.52
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 40,536 / 5,200= $7.8 per direct labor hour
Production orders= 60,270 / 1,500= $40.18 per order
Order size= 432,975 / 7,400= $58.51 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to product R3:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 7.8*4,800= 37,440
Production orders= 40.18*1,300= 52,234
Order size= 58.51*3,900= 228,189
Total allocated costs= $654,863
Finally, the unitary cost:
Direct material= $300
Direct labor= 20.2*4= $80.8
Overhead= 654,863 / 1,200= $545.72
Unitary cost= $926.52

Snappy Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Manufacturing overhead cost and direct labor hours were estimated at $54,400 and 32,000 hours, respectively, for the year. In July, Job #334 was completed at a cost of $2,736 in direct materials and $1,664 in direct labor. The labor rate is $5.20 per hour. By the end of the year, Snappy had worked a total of 37,000 direct labor-hours and had incurred $64,650 actual manufacturing overhead cost. If Job #334 contained 120 units, the unit product cost on the completed job cost sheet would be:
Answer:
Unitary cost= $41.2
Explanation:
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= (54,400/32,000)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.7 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Direct labor hours= 1,664 / 5.2= 320
Allocated MOH= 1.7*320= $544
Finally, the total cost and unitary cost:
Total cost= 544 + 1,664 + 2,736
Total cost= $4,944
Unitary cost= 4,944 / 120
Unitary cost= $41.2
