A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $18,000 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,400. A new power line will cost $27,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year,
a. Which alternative should be selected on the basis of an annual worth analysis
b. What must be the first cost of the above ground line to make the two alternatives equally attractive economically?
Answer:
a) should install the solar cells
alternative 1, solar cells
initial investment $18,000
annual expenses $2,400 (5 years)
NPV = $27,097.89
AW = (10% x $27,097.89) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $7,148.36
alternative 2, power line
initial investment $27,500
annual expenses $1,000 (5 years)
NPV = $31,290.79
AW = (10% x $31,290.79) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $8,254.43
b) $23,307.10
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.
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
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.
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?
Answer:
White Company
a. Predetermined overhead rates:
Departments Cutting Finishing
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000 $443,000
Usage 6,100 3,200
Fixed overhead cost per unit $6.61 $6.15
Variable overhead cost per unit $3.00 $4.75
Predetermined overhead rates $9.61 $10.90
b. Job 203:
Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 4 19
Machine-hours 80 4
Materials requisitioned $770 $360
Direct labor cost $36 $180
Total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 203:
Cutting Finishing
Materials requisitioned $770 $360
Direct labor cost $36 $180
Manufacturing overhead $769 $207
Total manufacturing costs $1,575 $747
c. Yes. The amounts of overhead cost assigned to some jobs would be substantially different.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Departments 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 m/h $3.00 -
Variable manufacturing overhead per dlh - $4.75
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.
A grocery store that uses local distributors is am example of what stage of globalization
Answer: Domestic stage
Explanation:
In the domestic stage of production, the entity is only involved in the domestic arena. The production facilities they have are limited to the country they are in and they only operate in the domestic market and at this point, the company is not trying to get into foreign markets.
The grocery store above uses only local distributors which means that they are only servicing the local market which therefore puts them at the domestic stage of globalization.

b. $135,290
c. $117,200
d. $216,900
e. $252,490
f. $96,890
Explanation:
direct labor cost = $83,600 - $1,990 = $81,610
manufacturing overhead cost = $28,700 + $1,990 + 31,400 + $31,600 + $13,600 + 28,000 = $135,290
prime cost = $35,600 + $81,610 = $117,200
conversion cost = $81,610 + $135,290 = $216,900
total manufacturing cost = $135,290 + $117,200 = $252,490
period expenses = $19,900 + $8,050 + $61,300 + $7,640 = $96,890

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
