An agency relationship is only formed if the purpose for it's creation is legal. Meryl hired Alex to steal from Nancy, which is an illegal arrangement. Therefore an agency relationship was not formed.
The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. What amount wou
Question
The question is incomplete, hence the tutor added a piece of information
The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. What amount would be
Assuming the actual machine hours worked is 3,500
Note the actual machine was added by the tutor
Answer:
Applied overhead =$49,000
Explanation:
Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.
Pre-determined overhead absorption rate (POAR) = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted machine hours
The POAR is given as $14 per machine hour
Applied (absorbed) overhead = POAR × Actual machine hours
Applied overhead = $14 × 3,500 =$49000
Applied overhead =$49,000
Equipment was purchased for $300,000. Freight charges amounted to $14,000 and there was a cost of $40,000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Depreciation expense each year using the straight-line method will be:________. a. $70,800 b. $58,800 c. $49,200 d. $48,000
Answer:
b)
Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800
Explanation:
According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.
So we will add the purchase cost to installation , freight charges.
Cost of assets = 300,000 + 14,000 + 40,000 =$354,000
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Scrap Value)/ Number of years
= (354,000 - 60,000)/5
=$58,800
Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800
Operating Cash Flow The financial staff of Cairn Communications has identified the following information for the first year of the roll-out of its new proposed service: Projected sales $25 million Operating costs (not including depreciation) $7 million Depreciation $6 million Interest expense $5 million The company faces a 35% tax rate. What is the project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1)? Write out your answer completely. For example, 2 million should be entered as 2,000,000.
Answer: $13,800,000
Explanation:
Operating Cashflow for the year = EBIT * (1 - tax rate) + Depreciation.
Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) = Revenue - Operating Costs - Depreciation
= 25 - 7 - 6
= $12 million
Operating Cashflow = 12 * ( 1 - 35%) + 6
= 12 * 65% + 6
= $13.8 million
= $13,800,000

You expect to receive annual gifts of $1,000 at the end of Years 1 and 2 and $1,500 at the end of Years 3 and 4. Which of these is the correct present value of multiple annuities formula if the rate is 6 percent
Answer:
Total Present Value = 4280.962
Explanation:
The correct Present Value formulae
PV of annuity formula:
PV = A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r
PV - Present value of annuity'
A- Annual cash flow
r- discount rate per period
n- number of period
First set of cash inflows i.e 1,000 for year 1 and 2
1,000 × ( 1- 1.06^(-2) )/0.06
PV =1,833.39
Second set of cash flows i.e year 3 and 4
Year 3 and Year 4
1,500 × (1- 1.06^(-2) )/0.06 × 1.06^(-2)
= 2,447.569
Total PV = 1,833.39 + 2,447.569 = 4280.962086
Total Present Value = 4280.962
The following three identical units of Item A are purchased during April:
Item A Units Cost
Apr. 2 Purchase 1 $68
14 Purchase 1 73
28 Purchase 1 75
Total 3 $216
Average cost per unit $72 ($216 ÷ 3 units)
Assume that one unit is sold on April 30 for $118.
Determine the gross profit for April and ending inventory on April 30 using the:
a. First-in, first-out (FIFO)
b. Last-in, first-out (LIFO)
c. Weighted average cost methods
Answer:
Determination of Gross Profit and Ending Inventory:
a. First-in, First-out (FIFO)
1. Determination of Gross Profit:
Sales $118
Cost of Sales 68
Gross profit $50
2. Determination of Ending Inventory:
Apr. 14 Purchase 1 $73
Apr. 28 Purchase 1 75
Total 2 $148
b. Last-in, First-out (LIFO):
1. Determination of Gross Profit:
Sales $118
Cost of Sales 75
Gross profit $43
2. Determination of Ending Inventory:
Apr. 2 Purchase 1 $68
Apr. 14 Purchase 1 $73
Total 2 $141
c. Weighted average cost methods:
1. Determination of Gross Profit:
Sales = $118
Cost of Sales = 72
Gross profit = $46
2. Determination of Ending Inventory:
Ending inventory = 2 x $72 = $144
Explanation:
FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average Cost Methods are different techniques for allocating costs of products to the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory. They produce different results. FIFO assumes that units sold are taken from the units purchased first. LIFO assumes that units sold are taken from the units purchased last. Weighted Average Method uses the average cost to determine the cost to allocate to cost of sales and ending inventory. The average cost is obtained by summing the total inventory costs and dividing it by the units available for sale. Then this average cost is applied to the quantity sold and the quantity remaining to obtain cost of goods sold and value of ending inventory.
The next dividend payment by Skippy, Inc., will be $2.12 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 8 percent, forever. The stock currently sells for $43 per share. What is the required return
Answer:
The answer is 12.9 percent
Explanation:
This question will be solved using the Dividend Discount Model. It is one of the valuation methods used in valuing price of Equity/stock.
Po = D1/r - g
Po is the current worth of stocks
D1 is the next dividend paid
r is the rate of return
g is the growth rate
$43 = $2.12/ r - 0.08
43r - 3.44 = 2.12
43r = 5.56
r = 5.56/43
=0.129
Expressed as a percentage:
12.9 percent
A bond is issued at par value when: Multiple Choice The bond is callable. Straight line amortization is used by the company. The market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. The bond pays no interest. The bond is not between interest payment dates.
Answer:
The market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a fixed income instrument that firms use as a source of longer-term funding or loans.
The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid.
A bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.
Hence, a bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance. Also, a bond that is being issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.
Generally, bond price is inversely proportional to its interest rate, thus, when interest rates are high, bond prices would be low and when interest rates are low, bond prices are high.
If merchandise inventory is being valued at cost and the purchase price is steadily falling, which method of costing will yield the largest net income?
Answer:
The answer is LIFO
Explanation:
LIFO is Last in First out. It means the Inventory that was purchased last goes out first.
In periods LIFO, cost of sales reflects the cost of goods purchased recently and the ending Inventory reflects the older goods.
In periods of falling prices, the costs of ending inventory are high, cost of sales are low and the gross profit are high.

Should these costs be considered in differential analysis? Why or why not?
Answer:
Sorts of monetary information that would be incorporated and avoided in differential analysis
Differential cost investigation is the expansion or decline in complete expense pf the adjustment in explicit components of cost that outcome from any variety in tasks. It speaks to an expansion or abatement in all out expense coming about out of -
1. Creating or disseminating a couple of more or barely any less of the items
2. Change in the strategy for creation or of conveyance
3. An Addition or cancellation of item
4. Choice of extra deals channel
In Differential examination increment in incomes, variable expenses and opportunity costs are thought of. Fixed expenses and fixed segment of semi-variable expenses are disregarded.
differential analysis is utilized:
1. Dropping or including a product offering
2. Settle on or purchase choices
3. Proceed or shutdown item or client and so on.
Explicit incomes and expenses ought to be considered in an assessment to drop or keep a:
1. Commitment structure unbeneficial item ought to be thought of
2. Explicit fixed expenses of the unfruitful item will be thought of
3. Commitment from other non beneficial items which is proposed to be delivered with the extra limit will be thought of.
Avoidable fixed expenses are thought of, as these can be stayed away from when item or client is closed down. Avoidable fixed costs partitioned by the pv proportion will give level of deals beneath which it is smarter to close down.
Unavoidable fixed expenses are overlooked in considering in an assessment to drop or keep. Since these costs will be acquired despite the fact that the item or client is ceased.
shut down point = avoidable fixed expenses/PV proportion

n the current year, the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid the following amounts: $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. In addition, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year. Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership. How much and what type(s) of income must Donald report for the tax year?
Answer: $75,000 ordinary income; $3,000 of long-term capital gains.
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. Also, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year and that Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership.
From the question, the ordinary income of the firm will be the difference between the revenue gotten and the $50,000 paid in rent and utilities which is an expense. This will be:
= $200000 - $50000
= $150000
The income from capital gain = $6000
Since, Donald will get 50% of what the partnership makes, thus will be:
50% of $150,000 ordinary income which is (50/100 × $150,000) = $75,000 and 50% of $6000 capital gain which will be $3,000.
= 50
Therefore, Donald will get $75000 of the ordinary income and $ 3000 of the capital gain.

The law of demand states that:________ a. a higher price will lead to increased sales. b. consumers have unlimited demands for a good. c. the price can never be too high for some consumers. d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
Answer:
d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
Explanation:
The law of demand states that when the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded decreases when everything else remains constant as people are less willing to purchase a product when the price is higher. This means that the price and the quantity demanded are inversely related as when one variable increases the other one decreases. According to this, the answer is that the law of demand states that quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
The other answers are not right because the law of demand states that the price and the quantity demanded of a good are inversely related, it doesn't refer to the price and sales, consumers don't have unlimited demands for a good as it is affected by the price and the price can be too high for some consumers as when the price increases, the quantity demanded decreases.
Hommie Delicacies produces two products (Orapine and Banango) from a joint process. The joint cost of production is GH¢80,000. Five thousand units of Orapine can be sold at split-off for GH¢20 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢25 per unit. Ten thousand units of Banango can be sold at split-off for GH¢15 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢16 per unit. Advise Hommie on further processing each of the products? (5 marks)
Answer:
Explanation:
Joint cost = 80,000
Orapine
cost of 5000 at 20 = 100,000
Incremental Cost of further processing =20,000
Incremental revenue = 5000* (25-20)= 25,000
Incremental income 5,000
Banango
cost of 10000 at 15 = 150,000
Incremental cost of further processing = 20,000
Incremental revenue = 10,000*(16-15) = 10,000
Incremental income = (10,000) loss
If Orapine is processed further , there will be an incremental income of 5,000 compared to Banango that will bring an incremental loss of 10,00 if processed further.
Based on this , it is advised that Orapine be processed further while Banango is not
Just Right Incorporated is considering the option of an extra dividend versus a share repurchase and the impact of both decisions on the firm. Just Right plans to spend $85,000 in respect of both scenarios. Just Right’s current earnings are $2.10 per share, and the stock currently sells for $45 per share. Just Right currently has 5,000 shares outstanding. You own one share of stock in this company. If the company issues the dividend, what will your total investment be worth?
Answer:
The total investment will be "28".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Total dividend amount
= $85,000
Current earnings per share
= $2.10
Total purchased amount
= $85,000
Currently sell stock
= $45 per share
Now,
⇒ [tex]Dividend \ per \ share=\frac{85000}{5000}[/tex]
[tex]=17[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Total \ investment=currently \ sell \ stock+dividend \ per \ share[/tex]
[tex]=45+17[/tex]
[tex]=62[/tex]
The number of repurchased shares will be:
= [tex]\frac{total \ repurchase}{currently \ sells}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{85000}{45}[/tex]
= [tex]1889[/tex]
So, Percentage of repurchased will be:
= [tex]\frac{1889}{5000}[/tex]
= [tex]37.78 \ percent[/tex]
When the share becomes bought, the overall investment value will be as follows:
= [tex]45\times ( 1 -0.3778)[/tex]
= [tex]45\times 0.6222[/tex]
= [tex]27.999 \ or \ 28[/tex]

Answer:
$16,125.15
Explanation:
DATA:
Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity
Assembly $1,398,250 65,800 machine hours
Processing orders $ 69,451 2,520 orders
Inspection $ 184,800 2,400 inspection-hours
Units produced = 920
Machine hours required = 1290
Processing orders required= 61
Inspection hours required = 40
Direct material cost = 57.55
Direct labor cost = 13.56 per unit
Selling price = 123.50
Solution
Sales Revenue (920 ×$123.5) $113,620
LESS: Costs
Direct Materials (920 × $57.55) $52,946
Direct labor (920 ×$13.56) $12,375.2
Assembly (1,398,250/65,800) = 21.25 × 1290= $27412.5
Processing (69,451/2,520) = 27.55 × 61 = $1681.15
Inspection (184,800/2,400) = 77 x 40 = $3080
Total Cost ($97494.65)
Product margin $16,125.15
