March 31 1,580,000
June 30 1,256,000
September 30 980,000
December 31 780,000

Required:
Calculate the amount of interest capitalized for 2021 using the specific interest method.

Answer:

$207,800

Explanation:

Date          Expenditure   Weight    Average

January 1   $980,000        12/12       $980,000

March 31    $1,580,000      9/12        $1,185,000

June 30     $1,256,000      6/12        $628,000

Sept. 30     $980,000        3/12        $245,000

Dec. 31       $780,000        0/12        $0            

Total                                                   $3,038,000

Calculation of average interest rate for general debt

                              Amount     Rate     Interest

Bonds                 $8,000,000   11%     $880,000

Long term rate   $2,000,000   6%      $120,000

Total                    $10,000,000            $1,000,000

Average interest rate = $1,000,000 / $10,000,000

Average interest rate = 10%

Calculation of interest capitalized

Note: General debt = $3,038,000 - $2,400,000 = $638,000

                          Average         Interest rate  Capitalized interest

Specific debt   $2,400,000            6%                 $144,000

General debt   $638,000               10%                $63,800

Plant-wide, department, and activity-cost rates. Acclaim Inc. makes two styles of trophies, basic and deluxe, and operates at capacity. Acclaim does large custom orders. Acclaim budgets to produce 10,000 basic trophies and 5,000 deluxe trophies. Manufacturing takes place in two production departments: forming and assembly. In the forming department, indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in two cost pools, setup and general overhead. In the assembly department, all indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in one general overhead cost pool. The basic trophies are formed in batches of 200 but be-cause of the more intricate detail of the deluxe trophies, they are formed in batches of 50.

The controller has asked you to compare plant-wide, department, and activity-based cost allocation.

Forming Department Basic Delux Total
$60,000 $35,000 $95,000
Direct manufacturing labor $30,000 $20,000 $50,000
Overhead costs Setup $48,000
General overhead $32,000

Assembly Department Basic Delux Total
Direct materials $50,000 $10,000 $15,000
Direct manufacturing labor 15,000 25,000 40,000
Overhead costs Setup
General overhead 40,000


Required:
a. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on a single plant-wide overhead rate, if total overhead is allocated based on total direct (Don't forget to include direct material and direct manufacturing labor cost in your unit cost calculation.)
b. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on departmental overhead rates, where forming department overhead costs are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of the forming department and assembly department overhead costs are allocated based on total direct manufacturing labor costs of the assembly department
c. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies if Acclaim allocates overhead costs in each department using activity-based costing, where setup costs are allocated based on number of batches and general overhead costs for each department are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of each department.
d. Explain briefly why plant-wide, department, and activity-based costing systems show different costs for the basic and deluxe trophies. Which system would you recommend and why?

g Buyers would pay exactly $175 per acre for the teak today. In one year, however, that wood will be perfectly matured. Buyers will be willing to pay $220 per acre. The trees will be past their peak after that and will start to lose their value. From now until one year from now, theoakwill have the exact same value per acre as the teak. The difference is that the oak will continue to increase in value by $10 per acre per year for the next 30 years. To be clear, an acre of oak is worth $175 today, $220 in a year, $230 in two years, and so on.

A car repair shop has two hoists where cars can be lifted for repair work. Currently customers come in at the rate of 4 per hour and are processed at a similar rate. On average 8 cars are waiting to be processed, 4 needing routine repairs and 4 needing major repairs. People are served on a first come first serve basis. Now: The repair shop owner feels that he is losing many customers needing routine repair because of the long wait. He dedicates one hoist for routine repair and one for major repairs. A study indicates that routine repairs are processed at the rate of 3 per hour and major repairs at the rate of 1 per hour. There are now 5 people waiting on average for routine repairs and 3 waiting on average for major repairs. With the new system, what is the average waiting time over all customers

Then there is a decrease in consumer confidence, as households attempt to increase their saving, for a given level of disposable income. a. In AS-AD and IS-LM diagrams, show the effects of the decline in consumer confidence in the short run and the medium run. Explain why curves shift in your diagrams. b. What happens to output, the interest rate, and the price level in the short run

Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer

Carpet Woes. Beau went shopping at ABC Carpet. He saw some carpet he liked but could not make up his mind. The manager at ABC Carpet wrote down the proposed purchase price for him along with a statement that the price would be good for three months. Two months later Beau went back to ABC Carpet to purchase the carpet. Unfortunately, the price had gone up. Beau showed the manager his writing and guaranteed price, but the manager said that the offer was no longer good.

Unfortunately, Beau almost immediately started to have problems with the carpet. Beau told the sales manager of ABC Carpet that he was planning on bringing suit for breach of warranty. The sales manager, however, told him that the breach of warranty provisions only applied to sales of goods and that the carpet purchase was for installation, a service. Which of the following is true regarding the enforceability of the offer made by the manager at ABC Carpet?

b. The UCC will be applied, not common law because the contract was mixed.
