Answer:
Pronghorn Company
Depreciation Expense under Production Hours & Production Units:
c) Production Unit:
Depreciation Rate =Depreciable amount/Production hours
= $5.90 per unit
for 1,100 units, Depreciation expense = 1,100 x $5,90 = $6,490
b) Production hours:
Depreciation Rate = Depreciable amount/Production hours
= $237,770/20,100 = $11.83 per hour
For 530 hours, depreciation expense = 530 x $11.83 = $6,270
Explanation:
1. Data:
Pronghorn Company:
October 1, 2017
Purchase of Equipment for $251,930
Salvage value 14,160
Depreciable amount $237,770
2. Depreciation Expenses based on production hours and hours are some of the methods to depreciate an equipment used for production. Using these methods, the depreciation rate is determined and then multiplied by usage (hours or units) to obtain the depreciation expense for the period. The methods are simple and logical for depreciating production equipment.
If a firm cannot invest retained earnings to earn a rate of return _______ the required rate of return on retained earnings, it should return those funds to its stockholders.
a. less than
b. greater than or equa to
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Retained earnings are the part of net income that are not distributed as to shareholders as dividends but are instead retained for investment that could improve future earnings of the firm.
Rate of return is the return that shareholders or management are expecting to generate from a business venture.
Rate of return must always be equal to or greater than a target rate or pre-planned rate if not, it decreases the wealth of the shareholders or decreases the value of the company.
Martin transfers real estate with an adjusted basis of $260,000 and fair market value of $350,000 to a newly formed corporation in exchange for 100% of the stock. The corporation assumes the liability on the transferred real estate in the amount of $300,000. Determine Martin’s recognized gain on the transfer and the basis for his stock.
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
We can calculate recognized gain on the transfer and basis for his stock just by deducting adjusted basis value from liability on the transfered real estate.

The annual average CPI for 2016 was 240.5. If the CPI for 2010 was 218.1, then what was the inflation rate for the years 2010-2016 (%)
Answer: 9.31%
Explanation:
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is able to check the price change per year by pricing a fixed basket of goods in different years. It can be used to calculate inflation with the formula;
Inflation rate = (CPI target year - CPI base year / CPI base year) *100
= [tex]\frac{240.5-218.1}{218.1} * 100%[/tex]
=9.31%
Discuss the role that resources, organizational communications, and training play in the support and successful implementation of a marketing plan. Cite the study materials to support your ideas. In replies to peers, discuss whether you agree or disagree with their assessment and explain why by citing study materials.
Explanation:
A marketing plan is the set of well-defined actions that will help an organization achieve its marketing objectives and goals.
Therefore, for the process of implementing the marketing plan to be successful it must consider the systemic set that makes up the organization.
First, resources must be allocated in such a way that there is a possibility of complying with all the marketing actions provided for in the plan, it must be necessary to be available in the organization, equipment, qualified personnel, raw materials, etc.
Organizational communication is also essential for the correct transfer of information so that an effective workflow occurs, without noise or conflict. A good manager must know how to communicate clearly and accurately, in order to support employees and supervise the work so that the marketing objectives are met, in addition to encouraging the realization of the work in the best possible way.
Training is also important for the development of employees and for them to be able to carry out activities, this is also a way of engaging and motivating employees to achieve organizational expectations.

Wheat Corporation pays $ 528 comma 000 for 100 comma 000 shares to acquire 45% common stock of Grain Investments, Inc. on January 5, 2018. Wheat Corporation sells 12 comma 000 shares for $ 54 comma 000 on January 6, 2018. What is the correct journal entry for the transaction on January 6, 2018? (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:
The purchase price per share will be:
= $528,000/100,000
= $5.28
The selling price per share will be:
= $54,000/12,000 = $4.50
The loss on the sale of the marketable securities will then be:
= 12,000 x (4.50 - 5.28)
= 12,000 × 0.78
= $9,360

Using the columnar approach, calculate the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. (1) (2) (3) Spending Volume 2. Using the formula approach, calculate the fixed overhead spending variance. $ 3. Using the formula approach, calculate the fixed overhead volume variance. $ 4. Calculate the total fixed overhead variance. $
Answer:
1. $5000 unfavorable
2. 3000 hrs favorable
Explanation:
Fixed Overhead spending variance
Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead
$300,000 - $305,000
= $5,000 unfavorable
Fixed Overhead volume variance
Actual volume = actual fixed overhead / Actual fixed overhead per hr
= $305,000 / $5
= 61000 hrs
(Budgeted volume - Actual volume) * budgeted rate
64000 hrs - 61000 hrs
= 3000 hrs favorable

A corporation produces a single product and has the following cost structure
Number of units produced each year 7000
Variable costs per unit
Direct materials 51
Direct labor 12
Variable manufacturing overhead 2
Variable selling and administrative expense 5
Fixed costs per year
Fixed manufacturing overhead.. 441000
Fixed selling expense 112000
The absorption costing unit product cost is:______.
A) $149 per unit
B) $65 per unit
C) $63 per unit
D) $128 per unit
Answer:
D) $128 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the unit product cost using the absorption costing is shown below:
= Direct materials per unit + direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit
= $51 + $12 + $2 + ($441,000 ÷ 7,000 units)
= $128
We simply added the direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead per unit, and the fixed manufacturing overhead per unit
Suppose that a country has no public debt in year 1 but experiences a budget deficit of $50 billion in year 2, a budget deficit of $30 billion in year 3, a budget surplus of $20 billion in year 4, and a budget deficit of $2 billion in year 5. a. What is the absolute size of its public debt in year 5?
Answer:
= $62 billion
Explanation:
Since the country started year 1 with no public debt,
The country's debt at the end of year 5 = $50 (deficit year 2) + $30 (deficit year 3) - $20 (surplus year 4, negative deficit) + $2 (deficit year 5)).
= $62 billion
The country's debt at the end of year 5 = $62 billion
Public debt is the sum of deficits and surpluses (negative deficits) over time.

Answer:
C. 1.34
Explanation:
Lindley Corp.'s stock price at the end of last year was $33.50, and its book value per share was $25.00. What was its market/book ratio?
To calculate the ratio:
stock price at the end of last year was $33.50 divided by value per share of $25.00
= 33.50/25.0
= 1.34
To develop compensation systems for workers, managers should: use all the information available about the workers regardless of the cost of obtaining the information use all the information available only if managers have a concern about the performance of workers. not use any information available if workers are paid efficiency wages. None of the above
Answer:
The correct answer is A
Explanation:
Performance and compensation go hand in hand. To know design a compensation system that takes into account all the information about one's workers is to create suitable compensation for that company.
For instance, the manager should know whether it is non-financial rewards that its management want. Sometimes, staff don't care about official cars, and fantastic health insurances. They just want a great take-home package.
The manager must know this information at all costs. To ignore is to risk the loss of staff, valuable time and even position in the industry.

Creighton Construction ordered $200,000 worth of steel beams for a new project. The invoice listed trade discounts of 30/20/15. The Net Price = $95,200
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The trade discounts of 30/20/15 indicate that the discounts are deducted one after the other from the list price.
First, you calculate the price after the 30% discount from $200,000:
200,000*(1-0.3)=200,000*0.7= $140,000
Now, you have to calculate the new value after the 20% discount from $140,000:
140,000*(1-0.2)=140,000*0.8= $112,000
Then, you have to calculate the new value after the 15% discount from $1112,000:
112,000*(1-0.15)=112,000*0.85=$95,200
According to this, the Net Price is $95,200 and the statement is true.

Gustavson Corporation uses the direct method to allocate service department costs to operating departments. The company has two service departments, Administrative and Facilities, and two operating departments, Assembly and Wholesaling.
Service Departments Operating Departments Administrative Facilities Assembly Wholesaling
Dept Costs $26,840 $59,400 $183,430 $321,190
Employee hours 4,000 2,000 29,000 15,000
Space occupied 2,000 2,000 30,000 6,000
Administrative costs are allocated on the basis of employee hours and Facilities costs are allocated on the basis of space occupied. The total Wholesaling Department cost after the allocations of service department costs is closest to:_______.a. $337,530b. $331,090c. $340,240
d. $340,426
Answer:
c. $340,240
Explanation:
The computation of total Wholesaling Department cost is shown below:-
Administrative costs = $26,840 × 15,000 ÷ (29,000 + 15,000)
= $26,840 × 15,000 ÷ 44,000
= $9,150
Facilities costs = $59,400 × 6,000 ÷ (30,000 + 6,000)
= $59,400 × 6,000 ÷ 36,000
= $9,900
Total wholesaling department
= Wholeselling department cost + administrative cost + facilities cost
= $321,190 + $9,150 + $9,900
= $340,240

You short-sell 200 shares of Rock Creek Fly Fishing Co. today at $50 per share. If you want to limit your loss to $2,500, $ Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. is the maximum price per share you should place when you close your position
Answer:
So, the maximum price per share that should place is $62.5
Explanation:
As per given data
Current Price of stock = $50
Numbers of share = 200 shares
Limit of loss = $2,500
We will use the following formula to calculate the Maximum price of stock
Total Maximum loss possible = [ ( Prefix Price of share - Current price of share ) x Numbers of shares of stock ]
$2,500 = [ ( Prefix Price of share - $50 ) x 200 ]
$2500 / 200 = Prefix Price of share - $50
$12.5 + $50 = Prefix Price of share
$62.5 = Prefix Price of share
Therefore, thee order will be stopped at $62.50
At Hodgson Corporation, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversions costs are uniformly applied. Other details include: Beginning WIP direct materials $ 38 comma 000 Beginning WIP conversion costs $20,250 Costs of materials added $ 393 comma 100 Costs of conversion added $271,125 WIP beginning (50% for conversion) 20 comma 200 units Units started 120 comma 500 units Units completed and transferred out 106 comma 700 units WIP ending (60% for conversion) 34 comma 000 units What is the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials? (Round your final answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
$2.79 per unit
Explanation:
Given that :
Beginning WIP direct materials $ 38, 000
Beginning WIP conversion costs $20,250
Costs of materials added $ 393, 100
Costs of conversion added $271,125
WIP beginning (50% for conversion) 20,200 units
Units started 120,500 units
Units completed and transferred out 106,700 units
WIP ending (60% for conversion) 34,000 units
We are to find the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials? (Round your final answer to the nearest cent.)
Let first calculate the total equivalent units for direct materials which is:
= Units completed and transferred out + WIP ending
= (106,700 + 34000) units
= 140700 units
The cost per equivalent unit for direct materials = Costs of materials added (a)/ equivalent number of unit (b)
The cost per equivalent unit for direct materials = $ 393, 100/140700 unit
The cost per equivalent unit for direct materials = $2.79 per unit
