Answer: Lease A Capital lease
Lease B Capital lease
Explanation:
A Capital lease is known as a lease agreement in which the lessor ( someone giving out the property) agrees to transfer the ownership rights to the lessee ( someone acquiring or needing the services of the property). After completion of the agreed lease period.
In a capital lease, the lessor is usually mandated to transfer the ownership rights of the asset to the lessee upon the end of the agreed lease term between both parties.
5. Sarasota Bicycles has been manufacturing its own wheels for its bikes. The company is currently operating at 100% capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 30% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the wheels are $3.00 and $3.60 respectively. Normal production is 200,000 wheels per year. A supplier offers to make the wheels at a price of $8 each. If the bicycle company accepts this offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $84,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the wheels will have to be absorbed by other products. Required: a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the wheels. b. Should Sarasota Bicycles buy the wheels from the outside supplier
Answer:
It is better to make the wheels
Explanation:
Sarasota Bicycles
Incremental Analysis
Make Buy
Direct materials $3.00
Direct labor $3.60
Variable OH (3.06*30%) 1.08
Total 7.68 8
Normal production 200,000 200,000
Total Costs 1536000 1600,000
Fixed Overheads 84,000 84,000
Total Costs 1620,000 1684,000
As fixed costs are irrelevant costs that would not change whether the company makes or buys wheels and the cost to make the wheels $7.08 is less than the cost to buy $ 8.0. It is better to make the wheels . Buying the wheels from the outside supplier is costly.
a. Incremental Analysis for making the wheels at Sarasota Bicycles is as follows:
Make Buy Differential
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Cost
Relevant cost per unit $7.68 $8.00 $0.32 ($8.00 - $7.68)
Total cost $1,536,000 $1,600,000 $64,000 (200,000 x $0.32)
b. Sarasota should not buy the wheels from the outside supplier. It should continue to make them as it saves $64,000 per year from making the wheels.
Data and Calculations:
Direct materials cost per unit = $3.00
Direct labor cost per unit = $3.60
Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.08 ($3.60 x 30%)
Total variable cost per unit = $7.68
Number of wheels per year = 200,000
Outside Supplier's Price = $8 per unit
Thus, Sarasota Bicycles gains $64,000 by making the wheels instead of buying from the outside supplier.

Outstanding stock of the Blue Corporation included 50000 shares of $5 par common stock and 18000 shares of 5%, $10 par non-cumulative preferred stock. In 2019, Blue declared and paid dividends of $7500. In 2020, Blue declared and paid dividends of $25000. How much of the 2020 dividend was distributed to preferred shareholders
Answer:
The dividends to be distributed among preferred stockholders in 2020 is $9000
Explanation:
The preferred stock holders are always paid dividends before the common stock holders. The amount left after paying preferred stockholders is paid to common stockholders as dividends.
Non cumulative preferred stock does not accrue or accumulates dividends. Thus, if dividends are not paid in a particular year, the company has no obligation to pay these dividends ever in the future.
Preferred stock dividend per year = 18000 * 10 * 0.05
Preferred stock dividend per year = $9000
As the preferred stock is non cumulative, then the remaining dividends for 2019 (which are 9000 - 7500 = $1500) will not be paid in 2020.
So, the preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2020 will be $9000 as the declared dividends are more than that required to pay the preferred stockholders.
Rubium Micro Devices currently manufactures a subassembly for its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Fixed overhead 34.00
Total $163.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal. Should Rubium make or buy the subassemblies? What is the difference between the two alternatives?
Answer:
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal.
First, we need to determine the total cost of making the units:
Total cost= total variable costs + avoidable fixed costs
Total costs= (54 + 35 + 40)*6,000 + 89,000= $863,000
Now, the cost of buying:
Total cost= 6,000*144= $864,000
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
Accounting practice in the United States follows the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) developed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which is a nongovernmental, professional standards body that monitors accounting practices and evaluates controversial issues. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires all publicly traded companies to periodically report their financial information.
A publicly held corporation must publish an annual report that contains the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, statement of retained earnings, and other financial information for analysis.
The following descriptions of the major financial statements and reports that a firm publishes. Identify the correct statement or report for each description.
Description :
a. Is required by the SEC and includes the audited document that shows the company's financial results for the past year and management's discussion about the future outlook and plans
b. Gives details about the firm's sales, costs, and profits for the past accounting period
c. Details changes in the capital received from investors in exchange for stock (paid-in capital), donated capital, and retained earings.
d. Provides details about the flow of funds from operating, investing, and financing activities.
e. Summarizes a company's assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity at a specific point in time.
Answer: a. Annual Report
b. Income statement
c. Statement of Shareholder Equity.
d. Cashflow Statement
e. Balance Sheet.
Explanation:
The Annual Report is a comprehensive report that aims to show stakeholders including the SEC what the company has been up to in the previous year. It analyzes the business's financial report and also the strategic goals of the business as well.
The Income Statement lets stakeholders know how the company's business transactions went for the previous period. It shows how much goods and services were sold as well as the expenses involved.
The Statement of Shareholder Equity aims to show how the business's dealings during the year have impacted the ownership of the company. It shows the Capital and the Retained Earnings.
The Cashflow Statement aims to show just how much actual cash that the business has. To do so it usually divides the cash transactions into Operating, Investing, and Financing activities.
The Balance Sheet summarizes the components of the Accounting Equation which includes Assets, Liabilities and Equity. This way a person can see at a glance how the business operates.
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.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration are examples of agencies engaged in A. the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries. B. health and safety regulation. C. social regulation. D. the regulation of natural monopolies.
Answer:
A. the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries.
Explanation:
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration are examples of agencies engaged in the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries.
A nonmonopolistic industry is one that is characterized by competition among various service providers in a country and generally there's a government agency that regulates their actions and activities in the public.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a governmental agency saddled with the sole responsibility of regulating the securities or capital markets, as well as protecting investors in a country.
In the U.S, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an independent government agency was established under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 of the United States of America.
Hence, SEC has the power to propose securities rules and regulations, and enforce federal securities law in the securities market.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was founded on the 23rd of August, 1958 under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 of the United States of America. It is an independent government agency with the responsibility of regulating civil aviation, commercial space transportation, construction and maintenance of airports, air traffic management and operations of navigation systems for both civil and military aircrafts, and issuance of licenses to airline operators with their personnel.
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
An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would cost $209.71 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $70 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $75.84 million. Unemployment in the area where the plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk adjusted WACC is 17%.a) Calculate the NPV and IRR with and without mitigation.
b) How should the environment effects be dealt with when evaluating this project?
c) Should this project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do the mitigation?
Answer:
Without Mitigation:
Net Present Value $14,244,200
IRR 19.92%
With mitigation
Net Present Value: $ -7,071,600
IRR = 15.76%
The project should be started without hte mitigation effort as would decrease the return below the cost of capital of the company.

The City of Southern Pines maintains its books so as to prepare fund accounting statements and records worksheet adjustments in order to prepare government-wide statements. As such, the City’s internal service fund, a motor pool fund, is included in the proprietary funds statements. Balance sheet asset accounts include: Cash, $102,000; Investments, $150,400; Due from the General Fund, $18,300; Inventories, $396,000; and Capital Assets (net), $1,169,700. Liability accounts include: Accounts Payable, $61,500; Long-Term Advance from Enterprise Fund, $738,000. The only transaction in the internal service fund that is external to the government is interest revenue in the amount of $4,400. Exclusive of the interest revenue, the internal service fund reported net income in the amount of $84,000. An examination of the records indicates that services were provided as follows: one-third to general government, one-third to public safety, and one-third to public works. Prepare necessary adjustments in order to incorporate the internal service fund in the government-wide statements as a part of governmental activities. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
Answer: The answer has been attached
Explanation:
The journal is a book in accounting that is used to record the transactions that affect a business. It should be noted that the double entry method of bookkeeping is utilised while recording in a journal.
The journal has been attached in the following way:
1. The journal was used to record the balance sheet particulars.
2. To record the transaction in the internal service fund that is external to the government.
3. To record the internal service fund in the government-wide statements as a part of governmental activities.
It should also be noted that the net income of $84,000 was to be shared as one-third to general government, one-third to public safety, and one-third to public works. This means they'll all receive ($84,000/3) = $28,000 each.

Five years ago you took out a 30-year mortgage with an APR of 6.5% for $200,000. If you were to refinance the mortgage today for 20 years at an APR of 4.25%, how much would your monthly payment change by?
Answer:
-$104.79
Explanation:
Current Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 360,
I/Y = 6.5,
PV = $200,000,
Solve
for PMT = $1,264.14
Current Mortgage Balance:
P/Y = 12,
N = 300,
I/Y = 6.5,
PMT = $1,264.14,
Solve
for PV = $187,221.9
New Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 240,
I/Y = 4.25,
PV = $187,222.54,
Solve
for PMT = $1,159.35
Current Payment - New Payment
= $1,159.35- $1,264.14
= -$104.79
Crane Company incurs these expenditures in purchasing a truck: cash price $23,030, accident insurance (during use) $1,690, sales taxes $1,380, motor vehicle license $670, and painting and lettering $2,140. What is the cost of the truck
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
Cost of the truck includes : Cash price + sales tax + motor vehicle license + painting and lettering
accident insurance would not be added because its a revenue expenditure as it will reoccur after a year.
$23,030 + $670 + $2,140 + $1,380 = $27,220
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
From the question above Crane company incurs the following expenditures in purchasing a truck
Cash price = $23,030
Accident insurance during use= $1,690
Sales tax= $1,380
Motor vehicle license= $670
Painting and lettering= $2,140
Therefore, the cost of the truck can be calculated as follows
= $23,030+$1,380+$670+$2,140
= $27,220
The accident insurance is not added to find the cost of the truck because it doesn't add any value and can happen again the following year.
Hence the cost of the truck is $27,220
Green Company is planning to introduce a new product with a 75 percent incremental unit-time learning curve for production in batches of 1,500 units. The variable labor costs are $55 per unit for the first 1,500-unit batch. Each batch requires 200 hours. There are $15,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning. What is the cumulative total time (labor hours) to produce 3,000 units
Answer:
210 hours
Explanation:
The learning curve rate can be found by log75%
Ln0.75 = 0.12249
1 batch requires 200 hours
The 1500 units batch will require 200 hours
For 3000 units there will be two batches of 1500 units each
200 hours * 2 batches * 0.12249 * 4.5 = 210 hours
If a business using the specific identification method of inventory has two items on hand at $300 each and purchases four items at $400 each, what is the value of inventory if two of the $300 items are sold
Answer:
The value of inventory is $1600.
Explanation:
The business has two inventory on hand that cost $300 each so total value of inventory = 2 × 300 = $600
The value of four items at $400 each = 4 × 400 = $1600
Total number of items = 2 + 4 = 6
Total value of 6 items = 600 + 1600 = $2200
The value of sold inventory = 2 × 300 = $600
The value of inventory = total value of inventory - The value of sold inventory
The value of inventory = $2200 - $600
The value of inventory = $1600
Consider an assembly line with 20 stations. Each station has a 0.5% probability of making a defect. At the end of the line, an inspection step singles out the defective units. The inspection step catches 80% of all defects. From inspection, units that are deemed to be non-defective
are moved to the shipping department.
If a defect is found at inspection, it is sent to the rework department.
Rework fixes about 95% of the defective units. Units are directly shipped from the rework department with no further inspection taking place.
1- What is the probability that a unit ends up in rework (in decimal form)?
2- What is the probability that a defective unit is shipped (in decimal form)?
Answer:
Assembly Line1. Probability that a unit ends up in rework = Probability of defect in 20 stations multiplied by the probability of catching defects = 0.8%(1% x 80%) = 0.008
2. Probability that a defective unit is shipped = Probability of defective units during inspection plus Probability of defective units during rework = 25% (20% + (100-95%)) = 0.25
Explanation:
a) Probability of defect in 20 stations = 0.5% x 20 = 1%. Each station has a 0.05%
b) Probability of defective units during inspection = 20% (100% - 80)
c) Probability of defective units during rework = 5% (100% -95)
c) Probability is the likelihood or chance of an event occurring. Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes. This will give us the probability of a single event occurring.
Jack's Construction Co. has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par value. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 8.5%. The company also has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock has a beta of 1.1 and sells for $40 a share. The U.S. Treasury bill is yielding 4% and the market risk premium is 8%. Jack's tax rate is 35%. What is Jack's weighted average cost of capital
Answer:
The answer is =10.36%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a way that a company calculates its cost of financing and acquiring assets by comparing the debt and equity structure of the business.
WACC = WeRe + WdRd
We is weight of equity
Re is cost of equity
Wd is weight of debt
Rd is cost of debt
For its cost of equity:
Ke = Rf + beta(market risk premium)
Where Ke is cost of equity
Rf is risk free rate of return( treasury bill return)
4% + 1.1 x 8%
= 12.8%
Total debt 80,000 x $1,000 = $80million
Common: 4million x $40 = $160million
Total = $80milllion + $160million
=$240million.
Therefore, WACC is
WdRd= 80/240 x [8.5% x(1-35%)]
80/240 x 5.5%
=1.83%
WeRe = 160/240 x 12.8%
= 8.53%
=1.83% + 8.53%
=10.36%
Value of a retirement annuity Personal Finance Problem An insurance agent is trying to sell you an annuity, that will provide you with $6 comma 200 at the end of each year for the next 20 years. If you don't purchase this annuity, you can invest your money and earn a return of 4%. What is the most you would pay for this annuity right now? Ignoring taxes, the most you would pay for this annuity is
Answer:
The maximum to be paid= $84,260.023
Explanation:
The maximum amount to be paid is the present value of the series of annual cash inflow discounted at the opportunity cost rate of 4% per annum.
This is given in the relationship below:
PV = A ×( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r )
A- annual amount receivable- 6,200. r-rate of return - 4%, n-number of years- 20
PV = 6,200 × ( 1 - (1+0.04)^(-20)/0.04)
= 6,200 × 13.5903
= $84,260.023
The maximum to be paid= $84,260.023
Oscar owns a building that is destroyed in a hurricane. His adjusted basis in the building before the hurricane is $130,000. His insurance company pays him $140,000 and he immediately invests in a new building at a cost of $142,000. What is Oscar's basis on his new building?
Answer: $132,000
Explanation:
Oscar's new basis on the building will be the basis of the old building plus any additional investment he added.
This is the because there is no gain on the $140,000 he received because it was an Involuntary Conversion amount and he reinvested it into another building within a period of 2 years.
As there is no gain, the building will retain it's original basis but will add any amount outside the involuntary replacement cost of the building.
The Additional basis will be,
= Cost of building - Insurance
= 142,000 - 140,000
= $2,000
The Basis for the new building is,
= 130,000 + 2,000
= $132,000
NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $.27 a share. The following dividends will be $.32, $.47, and $.77 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 2.3 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 12 percent
Answer:
The maximum hat should be paid for the stock today is $6.48
Explanation:
The price of the stock today can be calculated using the dividend discount model. It bases the price or value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The price of the stock today is,
P0 = 0.27/(1+0.12) + 0.32/(1+0.12)^2 + 0.47/(1+0.12)^3 + 0.77/(1+0.12)^4
[ (0.77 * (1+0.023)) / (0.12 - 0.023) ] / (1+0.12)^4
P0 = $6.48092 rounded off to $6.48
Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 24 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.05, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The current price per share is $84.16
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.
The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
g1 is initial growth rate
g2 is the constant growth rate
r is the required rate of return
So, the price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 2.05 * (1+0.24) / (1+0.11) + 2.05 * (1+0.24)^2 / (1+0.11)^2 +
2.05 * (1+0.24)^3 / (1+0.11)^3 + [( 2.05 * (1+0.24)^3 * (1+0.07)) / (0.11 - 0.07)] / (1+0.11)^3
P0 = $84.1556 rounded off to $84.16
The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $1.68 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $32 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
The answer is 11.25%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The next step to take is to calculate the required rate of return which is shown below:
The required rate = D₁/P₀₀ + g
Thus,
$1.68/$32 + 0.06%
=0.0525 + 0.06
=0.1125 or 11.25%
Therefore, the required rate of return is 11.25%
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
Dynamo Corporation manufactures toasters. Each toaster comes with a 5-year assurance-type warranty. The toasters sell for $60 each. During Year 1, Dynamo sells 600 toasters, for cash. Past experience shows that the average warranty costs are $4 each or $2,400 for these toasters. In Year 1, Dynamo pays $500 cash for warranty costs on the toasters sold that year. Required: Prepare Dynamo’s journal entries related to the sales and warranty in Year 1.
Answer:
Journal entry to record sale of toasters and warranty
Dr Cash 36,000
Cr Sales revenue 36,000
Dr Warranty expense 2,400
Cr Warranty liability 2,400
Adjusting entry for actual warranty expense
Dr Warranty liability 500
Cr Cash 500
Since the warranty covers a 5 year period, the remaining warranty expense cannot be recognized as warranty revenue yet. Only after the warranty period is over, will any money left over will be recognized as revenue.
art E14 is used by M Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 20,000 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 $ 4.30 Direct labor $ 8.90 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 9.40 Supervisor's salary $ 4.80 Depreciation of special equipment $ 3.20 Allocated general overhead $ 8.40 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $30.30 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 E14 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $32,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part E14 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer:
It is more profitable to continue making the product. On this level of production, the company saves $26,000 if it makes the product in-house.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 20,000
Per Unit Cost:
Direct materials $4.30
Direct labor $8.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $9.40
Supervisor's salary $4.80
An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $30.30 each.
Rent space= $32,000 per year
We will take into account only the differential costs.
Make in-house:
Total cost= 20,000* (4.3 + 8.9 + 9.4 + 4.8)= $548,000
Buy:
Total cost= 20,000*30.3 - 32,000= $574,000
It is more profitable to continue making the product. On this level of production, the company saves $26,000 if it makes the product in-house.

Question 2 (10 Marks)
In Andalusia Ltd, wages are paid on a weekly basis (40 hours per week) at a guaranteed hourly rate
of RM2.80. It is estimated that the time required to manufacture a particular product was 12 minutes.
However, the time allowed of 25% is to be added (for normal idle time, setting up time, etc.). During
the first week of June 2020, Roslan produced 250 units of the product.
Required:
Compute Roslan's wages for the particular week using the following methods of wage payment:
a. time rate.
[2 marks]
b. piece rate with a guaranteed weekly wage.
[3 marks]
c. Halsey's premium bonus scheme.
[5 marks]
Answer:
Andalusia LtdWages based on:a. Time rate = RM 2.80 x 40 hours = RM 112
b. Piece Rate = RM 0.70 x 250 units = RM 175
c. Halsey premium bonus scheme:
Pay per hour = RM 2.80,
Therefore Wages = Normal Wages + Bonus
= (RM 2.80 x 40) + 50% (RM 2.80 x 22.5)
= RM 112 + 31.5 = RM 143.50
Explanation:
a) Time for each product unit = 12
Piece rate = RM 2.80/60 x 15 = RM 0.70 per unit
b) Under Halsey Premium Bonus Scheme:
Hours used in production = 40 hours
Hours for producing 250 units = 62.5 hours
Gain in hours = 22.5 hours (62.5 - 40)
c) Time rates are wages based on the amount of time spent at work. The usual form of time rate is the weekly wage or monthly salary. Usually the time rate is fixed in relation to a standard working week (e.g. 40 hours per week).
d) Wages based on piece rate (also known as piecework) is a pay based on number of units or pieces created rather than the number of hours worked. In other words, the more “pieces” an employee produces, the more the employee is paid.
e) Under Halsey Plan, the standard time for the completion of a job is fixed and the rate per hour is then determined. The usual bonus share paid to the worker is 50% of the time saved multiplied by the rate per hour (time-rate).

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

The following monthly data are available for Sheridan Company which produces only one product: Selling price per unit, $38; Unit variable expenses, $14; Total fixed expenses, $42000; Actual sales for the month of June, 7000 units. How much is the margin of safety for the company for June
Answer:
$199,500
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety is shown below:
As we know that
margin of safety = Actual sales - break even sales
where,
Actual sales is
= Actual sales units × Selling price per unit
= 7,000 units × $38
= $266,000
And, the break even sales is
= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit
= $42,000 ÷ ($38 - $14)
= $42,000 ÷ $24
= 1,750 units
Now the break even sales is
= Break even units × selling price per unit
= 1,750 units × $38
= $66,500
So, the margin of safety is
= $266,000 - $66,500
= $199,500
