Robert Company, which allocates overhead to production on the basis of machine hours, reported the following data for the period just ended:
Actual units produced: 12,000
Actual variable overhead incurred: $77,770
Actual machine hours worked: 18,800
Standard variable overhead cost per machine hour: $4.50
Robert estimates that it takes 1.5 hours to manufacture a completed unit.
Required:
Compute all standards & variances. Prepare all journal entries using standard costing.
Answer:
Variable overhead rate variance = Actual Variable overhead incurred - Actual Hours of Input, at Standard Rate
Variable overhead rate variance = ($4.5*18800 - $77,700)
Variable overhead rate variance = $6,900 Favorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance = Actual Hours of Input, at Standard Rate - Standard Hours allowed for Actual Output at Standard Rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (12000*1.5 - $18,800)*$4.5 =
Variable overhead efficiency variance = $3,600 Unfavorable
Variable overhead cost variance = Actual Variable overhead incurred - Standard Hours allowed for Actual Output at Standard Rate
Variable overhead cost variance = (12000*1.5*$4.5) - $77,700
Variable overhead cost variance = $3,300 Favorable
Pierre, a cash basis, unmarried taxpayer, had $1,700 of state income tax withheld during 2020. Also in 2020, Pierre paid $425 that was due when he filed his 2019 state income tax return and made estimated payments of $1,190 towards his 2020 state income tax liability. When Pierre files his 2020 Federal income tax return in April 2021, he elects to itemize deductions, which amount to $17,450, including the state income tax payments and withholdings, all of which reduce his taxable income. a. What is Pierre's 2020 state income tax deduction
Answer:
$3,315
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Pierre's 2020 state income tax deduction
Using this formula.
2020 state income tax deduction=State income tax withheld+State income tax return amount due+State income tax liability
Let plug in the formula
2020 state income tax deduction=$1700+$425+$1190
2020 state income tax deduction=$3,315
Therefore Pierre's 2020 state income tax deduction is $3,315
A company purchased land for $82,000 cash. Commissions of $8,000, property taxes of $8,500, and title insurance of $2,200 were also incurred. The $8,500 in property taxes includes $5,400 in back taxes paid by the company on behalf of the seller and $3,100 due for the current year after the purchase date. For what amount should the company record the land
Answer:
the amount that company should record the land is $97,600
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that company should record the land is shown below:
The Amount should be recorded for land is
= Purchase price + Commission + Property tax paid on behalf of seller + Title insurance
= $82,000 + $8,000 + $5,400 + $2,200
= $97,600
hence, the amount that company should record the land is $97,600

Bacchus Enterprises has $12B in book value of common stock selling at a book to market rate of 1.35 and a beta of 1.5. The combined preferred stock is valued at $8.5B with a beta of 1.23. The restructured debt has a book value of $4.8B in book value and has a coupon of 6%, maturing in 9 years, and selling at 102.5%. The market is doing quite well and is returning 14% with a risk free asset returning 4%. What is the Cost of Preferred Stock
Answer: 16.3%
Explanation:
Given the details in the question, the cost of preferred capital can be calculated using the CAPM method.
Cost of preferred stock using the Capital Asset Pricing Model is:
= Risk free rate + Beta * ( Market return - Risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.23 * (14% - 4%)
= 16.3%
The term economic tax incidence refers to Question 8 options: whether buyers or sellers of a good are required to send tax payments to the government. whether the demand curve or the supply curve shifts when the tax is imposed. the distribution of the tax burden between buyers and sellers. widespread view that taxes always will be a fact of life.
Answer:
the distribution of the tax burden between buyers and sellers.
Explanation:
Tax is a compulsory sum levied by the government on goods and services. it increases the price of goods and services
Economic tax incidence refers to who bears the burden of tax which is dependent on the elasticities of demand of the consumer and the elasticities of supply of the supplier
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.
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
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of supply to changes in price. Supply can be elastic, inelastic or unit elastic
if demand is elastic and supply is inelastic, the burden of tax would be borne by suppliers.
The party between the supplier and the consumer that has a more elastic demand would bear less tax incidence and the party that has a less elastic demand would bear more tax incidence

Her total gain is $fill in the blank 1 and her deductible loss is $fill in the blank 2 . b. What type of income can the deductible loss offset
Answer:
A. $25,000 gain
B. ($3,000)
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine Lucy's total gain
Amount realized $330,000
Less Adjusted basis ($305,000)
Total gain $25,000

Coronado Industries reported the following year-end information: Beginning work in process inventory $ 25000 Beginning raw materials inventory 9000 Ending work in process inventory 28000 Ending raw materials inventory 6000 Raw materials purchased 560000 Direct labor 210000 Manufacturing overhead 120000 How much is Coronado’s total cost of work in process for the year?
Answer:
$890,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of work in process is shown below
But before that following calculations are needed
Cost of Raw material consumed = Beginning inventory + Raw material purchased - Closing inventory
= $9,000 + $560,000 - $6,000
= $563,000
And,
Cost of manufacturing = Cost of raw material consumed + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $563,000 + $210,000 + $120,000
= $893,000
Now
Cost of work in progress = Beginning WIP inventory - Ending WIP inventory + Cost of manufacturing
= $25,000 - $28,000 + $893,000
= $890,000
On January 1, 2019, QRS Company granted 80,000 stock options to certain executives. The options may be exercised on or after December 31, 2022, and expire on January 1, 2026. Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $5. The fair value of each options was estimated to be $3 on the grant date. What amount should QRS recognize as compensation expense for 2020
Answer:
The amount QRS should recognize as compensation expense for 2020 is $80,000.
Explanation:
NS = Number of shares granted as stock option = 80,000
FV = Fair value of the options on the date of grant = $3
N = Number of years from December 31, 2022 to January 1, 2026 = 3
Therefore, we have:
Total compensation expenses = NS * FV = 80,000 * $3 = $240,000
Amount QRS should recognize as compensation expense for 2020 = Total compensation expenses / n = $240,000 / 3 = $80,000

The Iberia Tire Company has 3,000 tires in its inventory which are considered obsolete. Each tire originally cost the company $35 and the normal selling price was $45 per tire. Management is considering two options to reduce these inventory levels. Option one is to sell the tires directly to car dealerships for $30 per tire as opposed to the normal selling price of $45 per tire. The other option is to offer their current customers a $10 per tire rebate on their purchase. In addition to the $10 rebate, the program would cost the company approximately $24,000 to manage. They predict that either option will rid them completely of their excess The decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:_______
A. A $21,000 increase in profits.
B. A $9,000 increase in profits.
C. A $15,000 decrease in profits.
D. A $24,000 decrease in profits.
Answer:
B. A $9,000 increase in profits
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:
First step is to calculate the net selling prices for each group
Car dealership total price of sales = 3000 × 30 Car dealership total price of sales =$90,000
Current customers;
First step is to calculate the price of 1 tire
Price of 1 tire = $45 - $10 rebate
Price of 1 tire = $35
Total selling price = 35 × 3000
Total selling price= $105,000
Second step is to calculate net amount gotten from sales to customers
Net income= $105,000 - $24,000
Net income= $81,000
Now let calculate what the decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:
Decision to sell = 90,000 - 81,000
Decision to sell= $9,000 increase in profits
Therefore the decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:$9,000 increase in profits
Tamarisk, Inc. purchased a delivery truck for $29,200 on January 1, 2020. The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,200, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 8 years. Actual miles driven were 16,100 in 2020 and 12,800 in 2021.
1. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.
2. Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double- declining-balance method.
3. Prepare the journal entry to record 2020 depreciation.
4. Assume that Marigold uses the straight-line method. Show how the truck would be reported in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet.
Answer:
1. Depreciation expense per mile = $0.27 per mile
2-1. The straight-line method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $3,375
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,375
2-2. Units-of-activity method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $4,347
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,456
2-3. The double-declining-balance method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,300
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $5,475
3. See the journal entries below.
4. Net book value = $25,825
Explanation:
1. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.
Depreciation expense per mile = (Purchase price delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Expected driven miles = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 100,000 = $0.27 per mile
2. Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double- declining-balance method.
2-1. The straight-line method
Annual depreciation expense = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 8 = $3,375
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375
Depreciation expense for 2021 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375
2-2. Units-of-activity method
Depreciable amount = Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value = $29,200 - $2,200 = $27,000
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2020 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (16,100 / 100,000) = $4,347
Depreciation expense for 2021 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2021 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (12,800 / 100,000) = $3,456
2-3. The double-declining-balance method
Straight-line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.1250, or 12.50%
Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = Straight-line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Purchase price of the delivery truck * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = $29,200 * 25% = $7,300
Depreciation expense for 2021 = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Depreciation expense for 2020) * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = ($29,200 - $7,300) * 25% = $5,475
3. Prepare the journal entry to record 2020 depreciation.

Imagine that two goods are available to you: servants (X) and robots (Y). You like servants three times as much as robots. If your domestic help budget is $4,000 per month, the price (wage) of servants is $1500 per person per month, and the price (rent) of robots is $400 per unit per month, what is the value of the MktRS (market rate of substitution)
Answer: 3
Explanation:
The marginal rate of substitution simply means the rate at which one good will be exchanged for another good based on the current market price.
Since you like servants three times as much as robots, this implies that the utility that one gets from one servant is exactly like the utility that will be gotten from three robots.
Therefore, the utility function will be:
U = 3X + Y
Then, the marginal rate of substitution will be:
= MUX/MUY
= 3

A government had the following transfers reported in its governmental funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances: (1) a transfer from the General Fund to a debt service fund in the amount of $1,100,000; and (2) a transfer from the General Fund to a special revenue fund in the amount of $500,000. The amount that would be shown as a transfer out in the governmental activities column in the Statement of Activities would be: $0. $500,000. $1,100,000. $1,600,000.
Answer:
The amount that would be shown as a transfer out in the governmental activities column in the Statement of Activities would be:
= $0.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Transfer from the General Fund to a debt service fund = $1,100,000
Transfer from the General Fund to a special revenue fund = $500,000
Transfer out = $0
b) The transfers of $1,100,000 to the Debt Service Fund and $500,000 to the Special Revenue Fund are Internal Service funds involving governmental activities. They are unlike enterprise funds that reach the control of the government's internal services. In this case, therefore, there is no transfer out, as the transfers were within or internal.
Milton Friedman and Edmund Phelps argued in the late 1960s that in the long run the Phillips curve is a. downward-sloping, which implies that monetary and fiscal policies can influence the level of unemployment in the long run. b. downward-sloping, which implies that monetary and fiscal policies cannot influence the rate of inflation in the long run. c. vertical, which implies that monetary and fiscal policies cannot influence the level of unemployment in the long run. d. vertical, which implies that monetary and fiscal policies cannot influence the rate of inflation in the long run
Answer: c. vertical, which implies that monetary and fiscal policies cannot influence the level of unemployment in the long run.
Explanation:
The Phillip Curve is used to show that unemployment and inflation have an inverse relationship such that when inflation is increasing, unemployment is decreasing. Fiscal and monetary policies can be used to increase or decrease inflation and unemployment.
In the long run however, the Philips Curve is vertical which means that unemployment will no longer be affected by fiscal and monetary policies that aim to impart inflation because the economy will be at the natural rate of unemployment.
