Answer:
Activity-based approach.
Explanation:
Cost allocation in financial accounting can be defined as the process of identifying, gathering and assigning of cost across multiple cost objects such as products, inventory or departments.
There are various types of cost allocation methods and these are;
1. Sequential method.
2. Activity-based management method.
3. Reciprocal services method.
4. Direct method.
The cost allocation method most widely used because of its accuracy and ability to provide a detailed level of analysis is activity-based approach.
This ultimately implies that, activity-based approach gives entrepreneurs or employers all the necessary information on the actual cost of manufacturing, service delivery and other tasks associated with the business. Under the activity-based approach, the relationship between time and cost measurement is used to determine the cost price of goods and services.
Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honorary fraternity, held a homecoming party. The fraternity expected attendance of 80 persons and prepared the following budget: Room rental .. $ 170 Food ....... 660 Entertainment .. 570 Decorations ... 210 Total ...... $1,610 After Beta Alpha Psi paid all the bills for the party, the total cost came to $1,885 or $275 over budget. Details are $170 for room rental; $875 for food; $570 for entertainment; and $270 for decorations. Ninety-six persons attended the party. 1. Prepare a performance report for the party that shows how actual costs differed from the budget. That is, include in your report the budgeted amounts, actual amounts, and variances. 2. Suppose the fraternity uses a management-by-exception rule. Which costs deserve further examination
Answer:
Beta Alpha Psi
1. Performance Report for the party:
Budget Actual Variance
Expected attendance (persons) 80 96 16
Room rental .. $ 170 $170 $0
Food ....... 660 875 $215 U
Entertainment .. 570 570 $0
Decorations ... 210 270 $60 U
Total ...... $1,610 $1,885 $275 U
2. The costs that deserve further examination are Food and Decorations. The party overspent on these items.
Explanation:
Since 96 persons attended the party, the food cost should have been = $792 ($660/80 * 96), which is the flexible budget cost. The cost of decorations should have remained $210 unless there were improper estimates of the items required for the decorations and the size of the party venue.
The following cost data relate to the manufacturing activities of Black Diamond Ski Company during 2013:
Manufacturing Overhead Costs:
Property taxes, factory $ 3,000
Utilities, factory $ 5,000
Indirect labor $10,000
Depreciation, factory $24,000
Insurance, factory $ 6,000
Total Actual Manufacturing OH Costs $48,000 Other Costs Incurred: Purchases of raw materials $32,000 Direct labor costs $40,000 The Black Diamond Ski Company used 10,200 machine hours during the period. Inventories: Raw Materials, 1/1/13 $ 8,000 Raw Materials, 12/31/13 $ 7,000 Work in Process, 1/1/13 $ 6,000 Work in Process, 12/31/13 $ 7,500 The company uses normal costing to record product costs. The company budgeted for $52,500 in total overhead costs for the year. The cost driver associated with the overhead is machine hours and the company expected to use 10,500 machine hours.
REQUIRED:
1) Compute the amount of over-applied or under-applied overhead cost for the year.
2) Determine the cost of goods manufactured for the year.
Answer:
See Below
Explanation:
1.
= Actual manufacturing overhead cost - Budgeted total overhead
Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $48,000
Budgeted total overhead = $52,500
= $48,000 - $52,500
= $4,500
The above is under applied overhead since Budgeted overhead is more than the actual overhead expended.

passion is a docter has to be 90 sec pls
Answer:
what is the question?
Explanation:
You have graduated from college but unfortunately have $39,000 in outstanding loans. The loans require payments of $3,435 per year, which covers interest and principal repayment (that is, the loan has the same basic features as a mortgage). If the interest rate is 4 percent, how long will it take you to repay the debt
Answer:
15.44 years
Explanation:
Using both excel rate function and financial calculator, the time taken to repay the debt can be computed thus:
Excel rate function:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
rate= interest rate=4%
pmt=yearly payment=c
pv=loan oustanding=-39000
fv=the balance after all payments should be zero=0
=nper(4%,3435,-39000,0)= 15.44 years
Financial calculate
PMT= 3435
RATE=4
PV=-39000
FV=0
CPT N=15.44 years
This means a payment of $3,435 per year for 15 years and $ 1,511.40 ($3,435*0.44) in the sixteenth year

Contribution margin $ 10,000 $ 20,000 30,000
Fixed expenses 24,000
Net operating income $ 6,000
Required:
1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company?
2. What is the company's overall break-even point in dollar sales?
3. Prepare a contribution format income statement at the company's break-even point that shows the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer:

Explanation:
1. Overall contribution margin ratio for the company
= (Total contribution margin ÷ Total sales) × 100
= ($30,000 ÷ $100,000) × 100
= 0.3 × 100
= 30%
2. Company's overall break even point in dollar sales
= Fixed cost/Contribution margin ratio
= $24,000 / 0.3
= $80,000

Net operating cash flows $64,000 $69,000 $64,000 $69,000
Explanation:
The net income reported the accrual basis and that reported under the cash basis are different. The accrual basis considers all revenue whether actually received or not, the cash basis only considers cash received from clients in each period. However, the net operating cash flows under the two bases are the same. The reason for this is that only actual cash flows are considered under the two bases.

d. E contributes $82,000 in cash to the business to receive a 22 percent interest in the partnership. No goodwill or other asset revaluation is to be recorded. Profits and losses have previously been split according to the following percentages: A, 10 percent; B, 30 percent; C, 20 percent; and D, 40 percent. After E makes this investment, what are the individual capital balances
Answer:
After E makes this investment, the individual capital balances are:
A = $29,073
B = $87,218
C = $58,145
D = $116,291
E = $82,000
Total = $327,727
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
E's capital contribution = $82,000 for 22%
Total capital after E's admission = $372,727 ($82,000/22%)
Old profits and losses sharing ratio:
A, 10 percent; B, 30 percent; C, 20 percent; and D, 40
New profits and losses sharing ratio and new capital balances
A = 10% of 78% = 7.8% 7.8% of $372,727 = $29,073
B = 30% of 78% = 23.4% 23.4% of $372,727 = $87,218
C = 20% of 78% = 15.6% 15.6% of $372,727 = $58,145
D = 40% of 78% = 31.2% 31.2% of $372,727 = $116,291
E = 22% 22% of $372,727 = $82,000
Total = 100% $327,727
b) The capital of the partnership will total $327,727 while individual partnerships will have their capital accounts adjusted in line with the new profit sharing ratio and capital.
A country has constant opportunity cost of production. If they devote all of their resources to the production of blankets they can produce a total of 284 per week. If they devote all of their resources to the production of t-shirts they can produce a total of 612 shirts per week. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket
Answer:
2.15 shirts
Explanation:
Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
By producing one more blanket, the country would be forgoing the opportunity to produce one more shirt.
opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket = 612 shirts / 284 = 2.15 shirts
Someone offers to buy your old Ford F-150 truck for 4 equal annual payments, beginning 2 years from today. If you think that the present value of your Ford Truck is only $9,000 and you assume the interest rate is 10%, which one of the below would be the minimum annual payment that youâ d be willing to accept? $2,839.24 $3,435.48 $3,123.16 $2,250
Answer:
$3,123.16
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum annual payment is as follows:
Given that
RATE = 10%
NPER = 10%
PV = $9,000 × (1 + 0.1) = $9,900
FV = $0
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE,NPER,-PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $3,123.16
During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated cost of goods sold
Answer:
a. $173,000
Explanation:
Missing word "Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000."
Percentage of profits Alpha charge to other customers = ($800,000 - $600,000) / $800,000 = 25% of sales
Stock held at year end by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $100,000 * 40% =$40,000
Profit involved in stock held by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $40,000 * 25% = $10,000
So, Value of stock of Beta = $88,000 - $10,000 = $78,000
Hence, Total for consolidated inventory = $95,000 + $78,000 = $173,000

Scott wants to accumulate $3,800 over a period of 11 years so that a cash payment can be made for roof maintenance on his summer cottage. To have this amount when it is needed, he will make annual deposits at the end of each year into a savings account that earns 7.0% annual interest per year. How much must each annual deposit be
Answer:
$240.76
Explanation:
The formula to determine the annual deposit is :
p = FV / annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
Annuity factor = (1.07^11 - 1) / 0.07 = 15.783599
p = $3800 / 15.783599 = $240.76
5. Microeconomics and macroeconomics Determine whether each of the following topics would more likely be studied in microeconomics or macroeconomics. Microeconomics Macroeconomics The effect of government regulation on a monopolist's production decisions The effects of the Internet on the pricing of used cars The effect of federal government spending on the national unemployment rate
Answer:
Microeconomics
Microeconomics
Macroeconomics
Explanation:
Macroeconomics is a branch of economics that studies the economy as a whole. Macroeconomics studies economic aggregates such as inflation, unemployment, GDP and growth rate.
Microeconomics is a branch of economics that studies the decisions individuals and firms make in response to changes in economic factors. These factors include price, resources etc. it studies how firms and individuals allocate and make decisions about resources
Microeconomics: The effect of government regulation on a monopolist's production decisions.
Microeconomics: The effects of the Internet on the pricing of used cars.
Macroeconomics: The effect of federal government spending on the national unemployment rate.
The effect of government regulation on a monopolist's production decisions: This topic would likely be studied in microeconomics. Microeconomics analyzes the behavior of individual firms, and the impact of government regulation on a monopolist's production decisions falls within this domain. The study would explore how government policies and regulations influence the production output, pricing strategies, and market behavior of a monopolist.
The effects of the Internet on the pricing of used cars: This topic would also be studied in microeconomics. The Internet's impact on the pricing of used cars relates to how individual buyers and sellers interact in a specific market. Microeconomics would investigate how the availability of online platforms, increased access to information, and changes in buyer-seller dynamics affect the pricing decisions of used cars.
The effect of federal government spending on the national unemployment rate: This topic would be studied in macroeconomics. Macroeconomics focuses on the overall economy and aggregates like national income, employment, and inflation. The effect of federal government spending on the national unemployment rate is a macroeconomic question that looks at how government expenditures, such as infrastructure projects or stimulus packages, can influence the overall level of unemployment in the country.

Matrix Inc. calculates cost for an equivalent unit of production using both the weighted-average and the FIFO methods.
Data for July:
Work-in-process inventory, July 1 (36,000 units):
Direct materials (100% completed) $122,400
Conversion (50% completed) 76,800
Balance in work in process inventory, July 1 $199,200
Units started during July 90,000
Units completed and transferred 102,000
Work-in-process inventory, July 31:
Direct materials (100% completed) 24,000
Conversion (50% completed)
Cost incurred during July:
Direct materials $180,000
Conversion costs 288,000
Cost per equivalent unit for conversion under the FIFO method is calculated to be:__________
(please provide step by step solution for further understanding)
a) $2.40.
b) $3.20.
c) $3.00.
d) $3.10.
e) $2.00.
Answer:
c) $3.00
Explanation:
The FIFO method assumes that the cost of the Beginning Work In Process will automatically go towards the completed units, because the units that were incomplete for the previous period are the first to be completed in the current period. Thus, we are only interested in the current costs instead of getting a weighted average (combining the cost of last year in beginning inventory and the cost of the current period).
Step 1
Calculate the equivalent units
To finish Beginning work in Process (36,000 x 50%) = 18,000
Started and Completed (102,000 - 36,000) x 100% = 66,000
Ending Work In Process (24,000 x 50%) = 12,000
Equivalent units of production for conversion Costs = 96,000
Step 2
Determine the Conversion Costs for the Current period
Conversion Costs incurred = $288,000
Step 3
Determine the Cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent units
therefore,
Cost per equivalent unit = $288,000 ÷ 96,000 = $3.00

XYZ Corporation had 158 million shares outstanding on January 1, 2012. On February 2,2012, it issued an additional 30 million shares to the market at the market priceof $55 per share. What was the effect of this share issue on the price per share
Answer:
There was no effect of this share issue on the price per share
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the pre-issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = Numbers of outstanding shares x Market value per share = 158,000,000 shares x $55 per share = $8,690,000,000
Now calculate the issuance values
Numbers of shares issued = 30,000,000 shares
Vaue of issued equity = NUmbers of shares issued x Mrket value per share = 30,000,000 x $55 per share = $1,650,000,000
Now determien the post issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares + 30,000,000 shares = 188,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = $8,690,000,000 + $1,650,000,000 = $10,340,000,000
Now calcuate the Value per share
Value per share = Post Issuance Total value of equity / Post issuance total numbers of shares = $10,340,000,000 / 188,000,000 shares = $55 per share
There is no effect of share issue on the price of the share.
Describe what will happen to total revenue in the following situations: 1. Price decreases and demand is elastic 2. Price decreases and demand is inelastic 3. Price increases and demand is elastic 4. Price increases and demand is inelastic 5. Price increases and demand is unitary elastic 6. Price decreases and demand is perfectly inelastic 7. Price increases and demand is perfectly elastic
Answer:
Total revenue increases
If prices are reduced, demand would increase more than the fall in price and total revenue would increase.
2. Total revenue falls. If price is reduced, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and as a result total revenue would fall.
3. Total revenue falls. If prices are increased, demand would fall more than the rise in price and total revenue would fall.
4, Total revenue increases. If demand is inelastic and prices are increased, the rise in price would be greater than the fall in demand. As a result, total revenue increases
5. no change in total revenue . a increase in price leads to an equal change in quantity demanded and there would be no change in total revenue
6. fall. If prices decreases, there would be no change in quantity demanded and total revenue would fall
7. total revenue falls to zero. If prices are increased, demand would fall to zero and total revenue would fall
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes. If prices are reduced, demand would increase more than the fall in price and total revenue would increase. If prices are increased, demand would fall more than the rise in price and total revenue would fall.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one. If price is increased, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and total revenue would increase. If price is reduced, total revenue would fall.
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded. If price increases, there would be an equal change in quantity demanded, total revenue would remain the same
Answer:
a. The overall income will drop.
b. The overall income will drop.
c. The overall income will drop.
d. The overall income will rise.
e. The overall income will not change.
f. The overall income will not change.
g. The overall income will not change.
Explanation:
a. If there is an elastic demand for the product and the price goes down, the overall revenue will go down. This is due to the fact that when there is a decrease in price, there is a rise in the amount that is desired. This is due to the fact that customers are sensitive to changes in price and will begin purchasing a greater quantity of the item or service after the price has dropped. Yet, because of the drop in price, there will be a reduction in the overall income that is generated from the sale of the product or service. This is due to the fact that the increase in quantity will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in cost that will result from the sale.
b. If there is no change in the level of demand, but the price is decreased, total revenue will likewise go down. This is due to the fact that if there is a fall in price, there will be an increase in the amount that is desired. Unfortunately, the increase in quantity will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in price, which will result in a lower overall income. This is due to the fact that the increase in supply will not be sufficient to compensate for the reduction in cost.
c. If there is no significant change in demand, then higher prices will not significantly affect overall income. This is due to the fact that as the price goes up, the amount of the good that is desired will go down. This is due to the fact that customers are sensitive to changes in price and will begin purchasing less of the item or service as the price rises. Even if the rise in price is more than the reduction in quantity desired, the overall income will still fall because of the lower amount of the good or service that is being purchased.
d. If there is no change in the level of demand, a rise in price will lead to an increase in total income. This is due to the fact that if the price goes higher, the quantity needed will go down, but not by an amount that is sufficient to compensate for the price going up. As a consequence, there will be an increase in total income as a direct consequence of the price rise.
e. if the demand is unitary elastic and the price goes up, the overall revenue won't change but it will stay the same. This is due to the fact that whenever there is a rise in price, there is a corresponding fall in the number of goods that are desired. As a consequence, there will be no change in overall income as a result of the rise in price since it will be balanced out by the drop in quantity.
f. If there is no change in the level of demand, regardless of whether the price goes up or down, overall revenue will stay the same. This is due to the fact that even if prices go down, consumers will still want the same amount of the good or service. Thus, there will be no change in overall income as a consequence of the fall in price since this will be balanced out by the demand for the same amount.
g. If there is no change in demand despite a rise in price, businesses will get the same amount of revenue overall. This is due to the fact that once the price is raised, customers will no longer purchase any of the product or service. Because of this, there will be no change in overall income as a consequence of the rise in price since there will be no change in the amount that is required.
Assume General Electric Company reports the following footnote in its 10-K report. December 31 (In millions) 2016 2015 Raw materials and work in process $ 5,527 $ 5,042 Finished goods 5,152 4,806 Unbilled shipments 333 402 11,012 10,250 Less revaluation to LIFO (697) (661) $10,315 $ 9,589 The company reports its inventories using the LIFO inventory costing method. Assume GE has a 35% income tax rate. As of the 2016 year-end, how much has GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory
Answer:
$ 244 million
Explanation:
Calculation for how much has GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory
Tax rate Amount (In millions)
LIFO $ 10,315.00 35% =$ 3,610.25
FIFO $ 11,012.00 35% =$ 3,854.20
Savings in taxes $ (697.00) $ (243.95)
Hence,
Savings in taxes=$ 3,610.25 million-$ 3,854.20 million
Savings in taxes=($243.95 million)
Savings in taxes=($ 244 million) Approximately
Therefore the amount that GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory will be $ 244 million

What should you do if you determine the root cause and find that it is out of your control?
a. Nothing. Once you determine the root cause, your work is done whether it is in your control or not.
b. Use a different analysis tool
c. Quit
d. Go back up to the previous question and see if you have control over that response
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Nothing. Once you determine the root cause, your work is done whether it is in your control or not.
Explanation:
To begin with, the question is related to what is called "Root Cause Analysis" known in the management field as a process by which the managers tend to identify what cause a problem by looking deeply into the root of it thanks to an excesive analysis done by a team. It is necessesary to clarify that the main purpose of this method is just to identify the problems' root and from there to come out with solutions regarding the situation if able, but it is not the point of the analysis to take action or to implement those solutions. So therefore that if the situation turns to be out of the control of the person responsible for the analysis then there is nothing he could do because his job has already been done.
Suppose you win $1 million in a lottery and your winnings are scheduled to be paid as follows: $400000 at the end of one year, $400000 at the end of two years, and $200000 at the end of three years. If the interest rate is 5 percent, what is the present discounted value of your winnings
Answer:
The present discounted value of the winnings is $916,531.69.
Explanation:
The present discounted values of each of the payment can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ...................... (1)
Where;
PV = Present discounted value of payment at the end of specified year(s)
FV = Future value or the scheduled amount
r = interest rate
n = year in which the payment is scheduled to be paid
Using equation (1), we have:
PV of payment at the end of one year = $400000 / (1 + 5%)^1 = $380,952.38
PV of payment at the end of two years = $400000 / (1 + 5%)^2 = $362,811.79
PV of payment at the end of three years = $200000 / (1 + 5%)^3 = $172,767.52
The present discounted value of the winnings can now be calculated as the additions of the 3 PVs above as follows:
PV of the winnings = PV of payment at the end of one year + PV of payment at the end of two years + PV of payment at the end of three years = $380,952.38 + $362,811.79 + $172,767.52 = $916,531.69
Therefore, the present discounted value of the winnings is $916,531.69.
