Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.15*10,700= $12,305
Now, we can determine the total manufacturing cost:
Total manufacturing cost= 15,745 + 10,700 + 12,305
Total manufacturing cost= $38,750
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 38,750 / 1,550
Unitary cost= $25
External hiring reduces organizational diversity.
Answer:
The statement is not true.
Explanation:
External hiring does not reduce organizational diversity, it actually does the opposite: it increases organizational diversity.
External allows managers to include in their working teams new mebers who bring different knowledge and experience to the organization. In fact, one of the main motivations for managers to engage in external hiring is precisely increasing the variety of viewpoints inside the firm.
White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 6,100 72,000
Machine-hours 59,000 3,200
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000 $443,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $3.00 -
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour - $4.75
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.
b. Assume that the overhead rates you computed in (1) above are in effect. The job cost sheet for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:
Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 4 19
Machine-hours 80 4
Materials requisitioned $770 $360
Direct labor cost $36 $180
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Jobe 203.
c. Would you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be charged to some jobs if the company use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours instead of using departmental rates?

Lauren Fine Clothing manufactures clothes for professional women. Lauren applies overhead at the rate of $15 per direct labor hour. During April, the company has budgeted 9,420 direct labor hours. At the end of April, 9,200 direct labor hours and $132,670 in manufacturing overhead had been incurred. To adjust for the difference between applied and incurred overhead, which journal entry would the firm record (using the pro-rated approach) given the following ending balances:
Answer: Debit MOH and credit cost if goods sold by 5330.
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the following information:
Overhead rate = $15 per direct labor hour
Direct labor hour incurred = 9,200
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $132,670
We will then calculate the value for the applied manufacturing overhead which will be the direct labor hour incurred multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate. This will be:
= 9,200 x 15
= $138,000
Then, we have to calculate the overapplied manufacturing overhead which will be:
= $138,000 - $132,670
= $5,330
The journal entry will then be:
Debit: Manufacturing overhead (MOH) $5330
Credit: Cost of goods sold $5330

Cameron Chemicals uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. During January, the Assembly Department completed its processing of 25,100 units and transferred them to the next department. The cost of beginning work in process inventory and the costs added during January amounted to $691,870 in total. The ending work in process inventory in January consisted of 3,800 units, which were 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The costs per equivalent unit for the month were as follows:
Materials Labor Overhead
Cost per equivalent unit $14.40 $4.50 $7.90

To avoid insolvency, regulators decide to provide the bank with $25 million in bank capital. However, the bad news about the mortgages is featured in the local newspaper, causing a bank run. As a result, $30 million in deposits is withdrawn. Show the effects of the capital injection and the bank run on the balance sheet. Was the capital injection enough to stabilize the bank
Answer:
1. With the bank run and capital injection, more cash was made available for the bank. There was increased demand on the bank to refund the deposits of customers.
2. The capital injection was not enough to stabilize the bank. At least additional $5 million was required to meet the demand of the customers.
Explanation:
A bank run occurs when a greater number of a bank's customers demand the withdrawal of their deposits. This event causes a spiral reaction that eventually leads to more customers withdrawing their deposits, resulting in the bank's collapse if no outside capital injection is made within the shortest period of time.
Suppose there are only two firms that sell tablets, Padmania and Capturesque. The payoff matrix below shows the profits (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its tablets. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Padmania prices low and Capturesque prices high, Padmania will earn a profit of $15 million and Capturesque will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and Padmania and Capturesque are both profit-maximizing firms.
Capturesque
Padmania high price low price
high price 11,11 2,15
low price 15, 2 8, 8
1. If Padmania prices high, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price, and if Padmania prices low, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price.
2. If Capturesque prices high, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price, and if Capturesque prices low, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price.
3. Considering all of the information given, pricing low _____ a dominant strategy for both Padmania and Capturesque.
4. If the firms do not collude, what strategies will they end up choosing?
a. Both Padmania and Capturesque will choose a low price.
b. Padmania will choose a high price and Capturesque will choose a low price.
c. Both Padmania and Capturesque will choose a high price.
d. Padmania will choose a low price and Capturesque will choose a high price.
5. True or False: The game between Padmania and Capturesque is an example of the prisoners' dilemma.
Answer:
low low
2. low low
3. pricing low is a dominant strategy for Padmania and Capturesque.
4. price low
5. yes
Explanation:
Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
A prisoner's dilemma is when there is a motivation for a player to make a decision that would create a less optimal outcome for other players

c. During a conversation with the credit manager, one of Tabor's sales representatives learns that a $1,281 receivable from a bankrupt customer has not been written off but was considered in the determination of the appropriate year-end balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account balance. What is the effect of write-off on 2019 net income
Answer:
Tabor
The effect of the write-off of the bad debt or uncollectible is a reduction of the 2019 net income by $1,281.
Explanation:
The write-off of the bad debt also reduces the Allowance for Bad Debts account balance and the Accounts Receivable balance in the account of Tabor by $1,281. The purpose is to accurately report Tabor's net income by taking into account all expenses and losses, just as all revenues and incomes must be accounted for. This gives a more accurate picture of Tabor's financial performance during the current financial period.

Damian invests $5,000 today in an account earning 6% per year. How much is the investment worth in 4 years
Answer:
$6,312
Explanation:
The amount that the investment will be worth in 4 years is known as the future value. We compound the Present Value using the interest rate to determine the future value.
Note : Here I will use a financial calculator to compute the future value
PV = $5,000
r = 6 %
P/yr = 1
n = 4
Pmt = $0
Fv = ?
Thus, the investment will be worth $6,312 in 4 years.

Opportunity Cost is always included in decision making. It is said to be the amount or value of the best alternative that is forgone e.g. choosing Dubia over Vegas, the opportunity cost is that which is lost or forgone from not picking Vegas. Firms and individuals do make or take decision about what economic activites or project they want to be involved in. This analysis describes how choices are selected or made and how they could be worked on.
It is the most thoughtful alternative given up as the result of a decision taken or made.
Barbara's Bakery purchased three new 7-year assets last year. She chose NOT to use Section 179 immediate expensing or take bonus depreciation. The furnishings were purchased for $15,000 in April, the equipment for $6,000 in July, and the appliances for $40,000 in November. Using the appropriate MACRS depreciation tables in the Appendix, what amount of depreciation expense is allowable in the current (second) year of ownership?
a) $16,806
b) $14,939
c) $16,163
d) $16,072
Answer:
$ 4,748
Explanation:
The depreciation expenses = [tex]$(\$ 15000 \times 17.85 \%) + (\$ 6000 \times 10.71 \%)+(\$ 40000 \times 3.57 \%)$[/tex]
[tex]$= \$ 2677.50 + \$ 642.6 + \$ 1428$[/tex]
= $ 4748
Generally we have use half year convention for assets that are purchased during the year but here we used the mid quarter as of more than the 40% of the assets are being purchased in last quarter of the year
[tex]$=\frac{\text{assets purchased in last quarter}}{\text{total assets purchased in the year}} \times 100$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{40000}{61000} \times 100$[/tex]
[tex]$=65.57 \%$[/tex] (it is more than 40%)
Thus we can use the mid quarter mars depreciation rates for the 7 years assets that are purchased this year.
Sandra would like to organize LAB as either an LLC (taxed as a sole proprietorship) or a C corporation. In either form, the entity is expected to generate an 9 percent annual before-tax return on a $710,000 investment. Sandraâs marginal income tax rate is 37 percent, and her tax rate on dividends and capital gains is 23.8 percent (including the 3.8 percent net investment income tax). If Sandra organizes LAB as an LLC, she will be required to pay an additional 2.9 percent for self-employment tax and an additional 0.9 percent for the additional Medicare tax. LABâs income is not qualified business income (QBI) so Sandra is not allowed to claim the QBI deduction. Assume that LAB will distribute all of its after-tax earnings every year as a dividend if it is formed as a C corporation. (Round your intermediate computations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Required:
a. How much cash after taxes would Sandra receive from her investment in the first year if BAL is organized as either an LLC or a C corporation?
b. What is the overall tax rate on BALâs income in the first year if BAL is organized as an LLC or as a C corporation?
Answer:
Sandra
LAB LLC (taxed as a sole proprietorship)
Annual Income = $63,900
Additional self-employment tax (2.9%) = $1,853 (2.9% * $63,900)
Additional Medicare tax (0.9%) = $575
FICA Tax rate (7.65%) = $4,888
After-tax income $56,584
Tax expense = $7,316 ($63,900 - $56,584)
LAB (taxed as a C corporation)
After-tax income = $40,257 ($63,900 - $23,643)
Dividends and capital gains = $8,051.40 (20% excluding the 3.8%)
Income after dividends and capital gains $32,206
Tax expense = $31,694 ($63,900 - 32,206)
b. Overall tax rate on BAL's income:
1. Organized as an LLC
$7,316/$63,900 * 100
= 11.45%
2. Organized as a C Corporation:
$31,694/$63,900 * 100
= 49.6%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected annual before-tax return = 9%
Investment = $710,000
The annual return = $63,900 ($710,000 * 9%)
Marginal income tax rate = 37%
Income tax expense = $23,643 ($63,900 * 37%)
After-tax income = $40,257 ($63,900 - $23,643)
Dividends and capital gains = $8,051 (20% excluding the 3.8%)
Income after dividends and capital gains $32,206
A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit. The unit contribution margin is $27. The company believes that spending $50,000 per month on advertising will allow them to increase the selling price to $45 and that sales will increase by 750 units per month. The company should ______.
Answer:
The company should accept the idea reason been that the profit will increase by $24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What should the company do
First step
Increased CM = [10,750 x (27+(40-45))]- (10,000 x 27)
Increased CM = [10,750 x(27+5)]- (10,000 x 27)
Increased CM = (10,750 x 32) - (10,000 x 27)
Increased CM = $344,000-$270,000
Increased CM = $74,000
Now let calculate the profit
Profit =$74,000-$50,000
Profit=$24,000 Increase
Therefore based on the above calculation The company should accept the idea reason been that the profit will increase by the amount of $24,000
