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

Answers

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

At the beginning of the period, the Grinding Department budgeted direct labor of $19,800 and property tax of $51,000 for 1,100 hours of production. The department actually completed 1,500 hours of production.

Required:
Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.

Answers

Answer:

Budget for the Grinding department is $78,000, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.

Explanation:

Note: Fixed cost remain constant at any level of production

Budgeted Direct labor at 1,100 hours of production is

= Budgeted direct labor / hours

= 19,800 / 1,100

=$18 per hour

Direct labor cost at 1,500 hours of production is:

=1,500 * $18

=$27,000

Budget for the Grinding department at 1,500 hour of production is:

=Direct labor cost + Property tax

=$27,000 + $51,000

=$78,000

For a business credit card, most companies that issue credit, including Visa and Mastercard, specifically state their liability policies:





Only cover the first $50.00 of liability





Cover up to $500 of liability





Are the same as their business card accounts





Do not apply to business card accounts

Answers

Answer: Cover up to $500 of liability

Explanation:

When one suspect that there has been unauthorized transactions in ones accounts which could be due to fraud, such business or person can make a complaint as soon as possible.

As soon as the report is made, the person is no longer in charge of the unauthorized use of such card. In a case whereby the loss is reported within two days, the liability is limited to $50 but when the report is made within 60 days after ones statement has been sent to the person or business, this may lead to a liability of $500.

Cover upto liability of $500. If the report is made within 60 days of receiving statement that shows fradulent transactions. If it is not reported within 60 days then the liability is unlimited.

which is extraordinarily large inflation in prices. At the peak of the​ hyperinflation, prices rose 26 comma 000​% per month. At this​ rate, by what percentage would prices have risen in 1​ year? In 1​ day? (Assume 30 days per​ month.) g

Answers

Answer:

To identify inflation rates in a monthly hyperinflationary process of 26,000 percent inflation, we must multiply that number by 12 months to obtain annual inflation, and divide it by 30 to obtain daily inflation.

Thus, the annual inflation of the country arises from calculating 26,000 x 12, which results in an annual inflation of 312,000 percent, with which a product that at the beginning of the year would cost $ 1 would cost $ 312,000 a year later.

In turn, to identify daily inflation, you have to divide 26,000 / 30, obtaining a daily inflation of 866.6 percent, which implies that a product with a value of $ 1, a day later would be costing $ 866.6.

The preferred stock is noncumulative, and the company has not missed any dividends in previous years. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders $ The dividend paid to common stockholders $ 2. The preferred stock is noncumulative, and the company did not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders $ The dividend paid to common stockholders $ 3. The preferred stock is cumulative, and the company did not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years. The dividend paid to preferred stockholders $ The dividend paid to common stockholders

Answers

Answer:

1) The dividend paid to preferred stockholders is $26,368

The dividend paid to Common stockholders is $96,632

2)  The dividend paid to preferred stockholders is $26,368

The dividend paid to Common stockholders is $96,632

3) The dividend paid to preferred stockholders is $79,104

The dividend paid to Common stockholders is $43,896

Explanation:

1) The preferred stock is non-cumulative & the company has not missed any dividend in previous years

The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = 3,200 shares × $103 × 8 % = $26,368

The dividend paid to Common stockholders = $123,000 - $26,368  = $96,632

2) The preferred stock is non cumulative & the company did not pay dividend in each of the previous 2 years.

The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = 3,200 shares × $103 × 8 % = $26,368

The dividend paid to Common stockholders = $123,000 - $26,368  = $96,632

3) The preferred stock is cumulative & the company did not pay dividend in each of the previous 2 years.

The dividend paid to preferred stockholders = 3,200 shares × $103 × 8% × 3 years = $79,104

The dividend paid to Common stockholders = $132,000 - $86,400 = $43,896

Remsco has taxable income of $64,000 and a charitable contribution limit modified taxable income of $74,000. Its charitable contributions for the year were $7,660. What is Remsco's current-year charitable contribution deduction and contribution carryover

Answers

Answer: $7400 ; $260

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that Remsco has taxable income of $64,000 and a charitable contribution limit modified taxable income of $74,000 and that its charitable contributions for the year were $7,660.

It should be noted that the charitable contribution is 10% of $74,000 which is the charitable contribution limit modified taxable income given in the question. So, this will be:

= 10% of $74,000

= 10/100 × $74,000

= 0.1 × $74,000

= $7400

Therefore, Remsco's current-year charitable contribution deduction is $7400.

Remsco's contribution carryover will be the difference between his charitable contributions for the year which is $7,660 and his current-year charitable contribution deduction is $7400. This will be:

= $7660 - $7400

= $260

Answers

Answer:

1. Notes payable (due in 13 to 24 months) - Long term Liability

This note will be owed for a period of more than 1 year. When this happens the note is said to be Long term.

2. Notes payable (due in 6 to 11 months). - Current Liability

As this note is due in a period less than a year, it is considered a current Liability.

3. Notes payable (mature in five years). - Long term Liability

This is a note that matures in a period more than a year making it a Long term Liability.

4. Current portion of long-term debt. Current Liability.

The current portion is due to be paid within the period so it is short term and hence a Current Liability.

5. Notes payable (due in 120 days). Current Liability.

Due in less than a year.

6. FUTA taxes payable. Current Liability

Taxes are generally considered a short term Liability until they are paid.

7. Accounts receivable. N (Not a Liability)

Accounts Receivable are Assets.

8. Sales taxes payable. Current Liability.

Taxes are generally considered a short term Liability until they are paid.

9. Salaries payable. Current Liability.

These salaries are owed for the period but have not been paid making them Current.

10. Wages payable. Current Liability.

To illustrate the law of large numbers (see also Exercise 5.54 on page 172), use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probabilities that the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 when a balanced coin is flipped

(a) 100 times;

(b) 1,000 times;

(c) 10,000 times.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.1585

(b) 0.4713

(c) 0.9545

Explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of heads.

The coin provided is balanced, i.e. P (H) = P (T) = 0.50

The outcome of tossing the coin are: (H and T). Each of these outcomes are independent of each other.

The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with probability of success as 0.50.

For a large sample a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of p if the following conditions are satisfied:

1. np ≥ 10

2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10

(a)

n = 100

Check the conditions as follows:

 [tex]np=100\times 0.50=50>10\\\\n(1-p)=100\times(1-0.50)=50>10[/tex]

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  [tex]p\sim N(0.50,\ 0.05 )[/tex]

Compute the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 as follows:

[tex]P(0.49<p<0.51)=P(\frac{0.49-0.50}{0.05}<\frac{p-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.51-0.50}{0.05})[/tex]

                              [tex]=P(-0.20<Z<0.20)\\\\=P(Z<0.20)-P(Z<-0.20)\\\\=0.57926-0.42074\\\\=0.15852\\\\\approx 0.1585[/tex]

Thus, the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 when a balanced coin is flipped 100 times is 0.1585.

(b)

n = 1000

Check the conditions as follows:

 [tex]np=1000\times 0.50=500>10\\\\n(1-p)=1000\times(1-0.50)=500>10[/tex]

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  [tex]p\sim N(0.50,\ 0.016 )[/tex]

Compute the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 as follows:

The average operating income generated from the investment over its 5-year life is $20,400. The cash payback period is 3.5 years true false

Answers

Answer:

The cash payback period is 3.5 years. The answer is True.

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Year Cash flows Cumulative Cash flows

0           (90,000)         (90,000)

1            36,000          (54,000)

2            30,000        (24,000)

3            18,000                 (6000)

4            12000               6000

5             6000             12,000

To calculate the cash payback period we use the following formula:

Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).

Payback period=3+($6,000/$12,000)

Payback period=3.5 years

The cash payback period is 3.5 years. True

If all you knew about a production system was that total daily output was 400 units and the total labor necessary to produce the 400 units was 350 hours, and the total materials used were 425 units, what kind of productivity measure could you use to compute productivity?

Answers

Answer:

partial measure

Explanation:

Based on the information provided it can be said that the kind of productivity measure that can be used would be a partial measure. Partial Productivity measure relates output to a single input unit. For example, capital productivity deals with output per unit of capital while energy productivity relates output per joule of energy used. In this scenario, we would need labor productivity which is output per hour worked.

Blythe and Cali do business as Diamond Investments. In acting on the firm's behalf,Blythe makes an honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase. To her firm,Blythe is:__________.
A) liable for breach of the duty of care.
B) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
C) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
D) not liable.

Answers

Answer:

D) not liable.

Explanation:

Duty of Care is the legal expectation from individuals and businesses in the course of discharging their duties, not to engage in conduct that could be foreseen to predispose others to danger or harm. The Duty of Accounting or accounting responsibility requires an accurate record of transactions.  Liability implies being legally answerable. In business transactions, businessmen owe it to their customers to provide their services and products in the best possible way so as to prevent causing harm to them. Employees also owe it to the organization they work for to discharge their duties carefully to avoid causing them loss.

Blythe's honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase is a mistake that anyone can make and can be easily corrected. Her company would not go the long route of taking her to court over such a mistake. Therefore, Blythe is not liable to her company.

Answers

Answer:

The multiple choices are given below:

217%.

148%.

68%.

147%.

46%.

The correct option is 217%

Explanation:

Overhead applied can be  determined using the  below formula total cost formula:

The total cost of work-in-process inventory=direct material cost+direct labor cost+overhead applied

total cost of work-in-process is $11,625

direct material cost is $3,700

direct labor cost is $2,500

overhead applied is the unknown

$11,625=$3,700+$2,500+overhed applied

$11,625=$6200+overhead applied

overhead applied=$11,625-$6,200=$5,425.00  

predetermined overhead rate=overhead applied/labor cost=$5,425.00/$2,500.00=217%

Evans Inc. had current liabilities at April 30 of $69,400. The firm's current ratio at that date was 1.7. Required: Calculate the firm's current assets and working capital at April 30. Assume that management paid $14,300 of accounts payable on April 29. Calculate the current ratio and working capital at April 30 as if the April 29 payment had not been made. (Round "Current ratio" answer to 2 decimal places.) Identify the changes, if any, to working capital and the current ratio that would be caused by the April 29 paym

Answers

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Given:

Current liabilities at April 30 of $69,400

Current ratio = 1.7

a) Calculate the firm's current assets and working capital at April 30:

Use the formula below to find the firm's current assets:

current ratio= current asset/current liability

current asset = current ratio × current liability

current asset = 1.7 × $69,400

Current asset = $117,980

For working capital:

Working capital= current assets-current liability

= $117,980 - $69,400

= $48,580

Working capital = $48,580

b) Calculate the current ratio and working capital at April 30 as if the April 29 payment had not been made:

New current assets = $117,980 + $14,300 = $132,280

New current liability = $69,400 + $14,300 = $83,700

Working capital = $132,280 - $83,700 = $48,580

Current ratio = 132,280/83700 = 1.58

c) There is no change in the working capital.

The current ratio will decrease by 0.12 (1.7 - 1.58) due to payment on 29th April

After examining a planning gap, firms typically attempt to decide if the time horizon should be increased or decreased. perform a SWOT analysis with their major competitor as the focus. use statistical trend analysis to interpret the results. exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation. adopt a product-market focus.

Answers

Answer: exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation

Explanation:

A planning gap is the difference that occurs in revenue or profits gap when current strategies are not changed. The gap analysis can help in the identification of gaps in the market. Therefore, when an organization compares its forecast profits to the company's desired profits, the planning gap will be shown.

When the actual results are lesser than the planned result, the organization would have to fill the gap with a marketing program which has been revised and sometime with new goals. Therefore, the firm can then decide whether to exploit wither a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation.
