Explanation:
Multiplier shows the effect of a change in investment on income and employment whereas accelerator shows the effects of a change in consumption on investment.
But in other words, in the case of multiplier, consumption is dependent upon investment, but in the case of accelerator investment is dependent upon consumption

Answer:
a. A reduction in business property taxes.
MC - No Change
AVC - No Change
AFC - Shift down
ATC - Shift down
Because business property taxes are a fixed cost, a reduction of this type would shift down bouth the AFC and ATC cost curves.
b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers.
MC - Shift up
AVC - Shift up
AFC - No Change
ATC - Shift up
Production workers are direct labor, and as direct labor, their cost depends on the level of production. In other words, the wages of production workers are a variable cost, and an increase in their nominal wages would shift up the AVC, and the ATC.
The MC curve would shift up as well because now each additional unit of input (the production workers), becomes more expensive due to the wage increase.
c. A decrease in the price of electricity.
MC - Shift down
AVC - Shift down
AFC - Shift down
ATC - Shift down
Electricity can be both a fixed cost, and a variable cost. For example, the electricity used in the administrative offices is a fixed cost, while the electricity used to power machinery is a variable cost. As a result, a reduction in the price of it would shift down all the cost curves.
d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment.
MC - No Change
AVC - No Change
AFC - Shift up
ATC - Shift up
Insurance rates on plant and equipment are a fixed cost, for this reason, an increase in the rates would shift up both the AFC and the ATC.
e. An increase in transportation costs.
MC - No Change
AVC - Shift up
AFC - No Change
ATC - Shift up
Transportation costs are mostly a variable cost: the more output, the more goods have to be delivered, the higher the transportation costs. An increase in these costs would shift up both the AVC and the ATC curves.
Skyline Builders and Pine Lumber had a contract, calling for Pine Lumber to deliver a certain quantity of bricks to Skyline's place of business on the first of every month for one year. Pine delivered the bricks one week late for the first six months, but Skyline did not object. When Pine delivered the bricks one week late, as usual, in the seventh month, Skyline attempted to cancel the contract because of the late delivery. Which of the following is true about this scenario?
A. Pine will have to return the delivery fee of the first six months because it broke the contract.
B. Skyline does not have the legal right to modify the contract.
C. Pine is not in breach because the delivery was made at the intended place of business.
D. Skyline has waived its right to cancel the contract.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The skyline and the pine had a contract to deliver a certain quantity of brick to Skyline's business every month on the first week for seven months.
But the Pine Lumber was always late in his delivery, but Skyline does not have the legal right to cancel the contract at the seventh month because if Skyline had problem, they would have cancelled the contract in the first or second month but they failed to do so.
After receiving the bricks late for 6 months and then cancelling the contract on the seventh month is not legal. If they had they would have cancelled it prior.
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. Some of the cash flows shown on a time line can be in the form of annuity payments, but none can be uneven amounts.
b. A time line is not meaningful unless all cash flows occur annually.
c. Time lines are not useful for visualizing complex problems prior to doing actual calculations.
d. Time lines cannot be constructed in situations where some of the cash flows occur annually but others occur quarterly.
e. Time lines can be constructed for annuities where the payments occur at either the beginning or the end of the periods.
Answer:
Explanation:
A timeline list events in a chronological order.
If cash flows do not occur annually, a timeline can still be meaningful. Timelines can represent cash flows that occur daily , monthly, quarterly , yearly , bi - annually etc
In cases where some cash flows occur annually and others occur quarterly, the space on the timeline between cash flows that occur annually and cash flows that occur quarterly woild be different in order to indicate the different lengths of time.

Because of conflicts of interest between shareholders and management, it is in the interest of shareholders to monitor management's performance through:
Answer:
The answer is yearly Financial Report reviewed by external (independent) auditor
Explanation:
Agency problem arises due to conflicts of interest between the owners of the company (shareholders) and the agents(management or directors). For example, the shareholders might be interested in retaining the end of the year profit while the directors might want to acquire non-current asset or acquisition of company with the fund.
To monitor the running of the company, shareholders employ external auditor to give opinions on the financial statements prepared by the management. The auditor ascertain whether the financial statements is true and fair and is not materially misstated.
External auditors are answerable to only the shareholders.
What is the stockholders’ equity to debt ratio for the following data? Total current liabilities (noninterest bearing) - $300,000; bonds payable, 5% (issued in 2007, due in 20 years) - $600,000; preferred 6% stock, $200 par - $240,000; common stock, $20 par - $480,000; premium on common stock - $120,000; retained earnings - $420,000. Income before income taxes was $180,000 and income taxes were $78,000 for the current year.
Answer:
Stockholders’ equity to debt ratio is 1.48.
Explanation:
Stockholders’ equity to debt ratio of a company refers to its stockholders’ equity divided by its total debts or liabilities. This can be stated as follows:
Stockholders’ equity to debt ratio = Stockholders’ equity / Total liabilities
To calculate the Stockholders’ equity to debt ratio, we calculate the following first:
Total liabilities = Total current liabilities + Bonds payable = $300,000 + $600,000 = $900,000
Income after taxes = Income before income taxes - Income taxes = $180,000 - $78,000 = $102,000
Preferred stock dividend = 5% * $600,000 = $30,000
Retained earnings for the year = Income after taxes - Preferred stock dividend = $102,000 - $30,000 = $72,000
Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Retained earnings for the year = $420,000 + $72,000 = $492,000
Stockholders’ equity = Preferred 6% stock + Common stock + Premium on common stock + Ending retained earnings = $240,000 + $480,000 + $120,000 + $492,000 = $1,332,000
Therefore, the Stockholders’ equity to debt ratio is now calculated uisng the calculated figures as follows:
Stockholders’ equity to debt ratio = Stockholders’ equity / Total liabilities = $1,332,000 / $900,000 = 1.48
Therefore, Stockholders’ equity to debt ratio is 1.48.
A company’s weighted average cost of capital is 10.8% per year and the market intrinsic value of its debt is $33.1 million. The company’s free cash flow next year is expected to be $4.7 million and the free cash flow is expected to grow forever at a rate of 3.7% per year. If the company has three million shares of common stock outstanding, what is the intrinsic value per share? Question 6 options: A) $13.72 B) $9.48 C) $11.03 D) $12.24 E) $15.12
Answer:
C. $11.03
Explanation:
We need to first compute the firm's value which is shown below.
Firm's value = Free cash flow ÷ (Weighted average cost of capital - Growth rate)
Firm's value = $4.7 million ÷ ( 10.8% - 3.7%)
= $4.7 million ÷ 7.1%
= $66,197,183
Stock price = (Firm value - Debt) ÷ Number of shares
= ($66,197,183 - $33,100,000) ÷ 3,000,000
= $33,097,183 ÷ 3,000,000
= $11.03
Prior period adjustments are reported in the: Multiple Choice Multiple-step income statement. Statement of cash flows. Single-step income statement. Statement of retained earnings. Balance sheet.
Answer:
Statement of retained earnings.
Explanation:
The prior period adjustment refers to the adjustment in which there is an accounting error in the previous period and i.e to be reported in past year period but now it would be corrected in the financial statement. This adjustment we called prior period adjustment
Moreover, it should be reported in the statement of retained earnings
Hence, the second last option is correct
Jack receives 30 utils from one apple, 45 utils from two apples, and 55 utils from three apples. It follows that the marginal utility of the third apple is __________ utils and that Jack's __________utility rises as his __________ declines.
Answer:
10
Total
Marginal
Explanation:
Marginal utility is the change in utility that occurs from consuming one extra unit of a good.
Marginal utitiy = 55 utils - 45 utils = 10 utils
Total utility is the utility derived from consuming a good or service.
When :
1. Total utility is 45 , marginal utility is 15
2. total utility is 55, marginal utility is 10
This shows that as total utility increases, marginal utility falls.

Accounts Payable The balance in Ashwood Company's Accounts Payable account at December 31, 2016, was $1,200,000 before any necessary year-end adjustment relating to the following: Goods were in transit from a vendor to Ashwood on December 31, 2016. The invoice cost was $85,000, and the goods were shipped FOB shipping point on December 29, 2016. The goods were received on January 2, 2017. Goods shipped FOB shipping point on December 20, 2016, from a vendor to Ashwood were lost in transit. The invoice cost was $40,000. On January 5, 2017, Ashwood filed a $40,000 claim against the common carrier. Goods shipped FOB destination on December 22, 2016, from a vendor to Ashwood were received on January 6, 2017. The invoice cost was $20,000. What amount should Ashwood report as accounts payable on its December 31, 2016, balance sheet? a. $1,325,000 b. $1,260,000 c. $1,285,000 d. $1,345,000
Answer:
Ashwood CompanyAccounts Payable account at December 31, 2016:Amount to report in the balance sheet =
a. $1,325,000
Explanation:
The balance in the account was $1,200,000
Adjustments:
In transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $85,000
Lost in transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $40,000
Total = $1,325,000
The shipping terms determine when liability for goods in transit pass to the buyer and if the buyer should include the goods in its own Ending Inventory and adjust its Accounts Payable respectively. The liability for goods in transit passes to the buyer if the FOB is shipping point. The liability does not pass to the buyer if the FOB is destination.
Multiple Production Department Factory Overhead Rates The total factory overhead for Bardot Marine Company is budgeted for the year at $396,000, divided into two departments: Fabrication, $270,000, and Assembly, $126,000. Bardot Marine manufactures two types of boats: speedboats and bass boats. The speedboats require one direct labor hour in Fabrication and one direct labor hour in Assembly. The bass boats require one direct labor hour in Fabrication and two direct labor hours in Assembly. Each product is budgeted for 6,000 units of production for the year. When required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent. a. Determine the total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year in each department. Fabrication direct labor hours Assembly direct labor hours b. Determine the departmental factory overhead rates for both departments. Fabrication $ per dlh Assembly $ per dlh c. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the department factory overhead allocation rates. Speedboat: $ per unit Bass boat: $ per unit
Answer:
a. Determine the total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year in each department.
Fabrication 12,000 direct hoursAssembly 18,000 direct hoursb. Determine the departmental factory overhead rates for both departments.
Fabrication $270,000 / 12,000 direct hours = $22.50 per direct labor hourAssembly $126,000 / 18,000 direct hours = $7 per direct labor hourc. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the department factory overhead allocation rates.
Speedboats = $22.50 + $7 = $29.50Bass boats = $22.50 + $14 = $36.50Explanation:
total overhead expense $396,000
Fabrication $270,000Assembly $126,000speedboats (6,000 units)
Fabrication 1 hour x 6,000 = 6,000 hoursAssembly 1 hour x 6,000 = 6,000 hoursbass boats (6,000 units)
Fabrication 1 hour x 6,000 = 6,000 hoursAssembly 2 hours x 6,000 = 12,000 hoursWorld Company expects to operate at 70% of its productive capacity of 38,000 units per month. At this planned level, the company expects to use 16,625 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.625 direct labor hour per unit. At the 70% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $66,500 fixed overhead cost and $182,875 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $421,625 actual overhead and 16,405 actual labor hours while producing 44,600 units.
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined standard overhead rate for total overhead.
b. Compute the total overhead variance.
Answer:
a. Predetermined Overhead Rate
Rate = Overhead cost / standard hours of direct labor
Variable Overhead Costs Rate = 182875 / 16625 = 11
Fixed Overhead Costs Rate= 66500 / 16625 = 4
Total Overhead Costs Rate = Variable Overhead Costs + Fixed Overhead Costs
= 11 + 4
= 15
b. Total overhead variance
Overhead costs applied= Overhead * Standard Direct Labor Hours
When Standard Direct Labor Hours= (16625 / 38000 * 70%) * 44600
= (16625 / 26600) * 44600.
= 0.625 * 44600
= 27875 Hours.
i. Variable Overhead Costs = 11 * 27875 = 306625
ii. Fixed Overhead Costs = 4 * 27875 = 111500
iii. Total Overhead Costs = 15 * 27875 = 418125
The company incurred $421,625 actual overhead which is the Actual overhead.
Hence, Total overhead variance= Total Overhead - Costs Actual overhead
= $418,125 - $421,625
= -3500 (Unfavorable)
Seafood Inc. purchased the following assets during Year 1: Office furniture $4,000, Delivery truck $25,000, Office building $400,000. What should be reported as the cost basis for MACRS seven-year property
Answer:
Only Office furniture $4,000 should be reported as the cost basis for MACRS seven-year property by Seafood Inc.
Explanation:
Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) refers to the US depreciation system under which there is a specific asset group with designated period of depreciation into which fixed assets are placed.
There is a depreciation table for all classes of assets which has been published by the Internal Revenue Service and MACRS seven-year property is one of these classes.
MACRS seven-year property implies that each of the assets under this class has seven years useful life, and assets under this class are office furniture and fixtures, agricultural machinery and equipment, natural gas gathering lines, and any asset not assigned to another class.
From the above therefore, only Office furniture $4,000 should be reported as the cost basis for MACRS seven-year property by Seafood Inc.
Shopper marketing brings brand managers and account managers together to connect with consumers along the entire path-to-purchase, whether it be at home, on the go via mobile marketing, or in the store. Select one: True False
Answer:
The correct answer is: True.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept known as "Shopper Marketing" refers to a discipline that is not limited to in store marketing activities but instead is focus on the fact of identifying the consumer and drive him in the process of purchase and connect with them along the whole process itself due to the fact that in this discipline what the marketers are looking forward is to obtain the result of making the shopper more understandable of his own needs by guiding him through the process until the purchase.
The company is currently selling 6,500 units per month. Fixed expenses are $184,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $7,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
$14,050
Explanation:
Calculation of what should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Contribution Income Statement
6,500 units 6,690 units
Sales (at $190 per unit)$1,235,000 $1,271,100
Variable expenses (at $75 per unit)
$487,500 $501,750
Contribution margin$747,500 $ 769,350
Fixed expenses ($7,800 increase)
$184,000 $191,800
Net operating income$563,500 $577,550
6,500 units+190 unit increase in monthly sales=6,690
Fixed expenses ($7,800 increase)
$184,000 +$7,800$= $191,800
Net operating income$563,500 -$577,550 =$14,050
Therefore Net operating income would increase by $14,050

Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $11,400 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 9 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year).How much will Ruby's IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
Answer:
$ 358,063
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires.
Ruby's IRA worth when she retires at age of 65
First step
Using this formula to find how many years until Ruby retires
Time period= Retired age (-) current age
Let plug in the formula
65-25=40 years
Second step is to find the future value of IRA when she retires
Using this formula
Future value of IRA when she retires
= Present value(1+r)t
Let plug in the formula
$ 11,400 (1+0.09) ^40
=$11,400 (1.09) ^40
=$ 11,400 (31.409)
= $ 358,063
Therefore the amout that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires will be $358,063
Each unit produced costs the company $8.00, and it is sold for $10.00. How much will the company gain or lose in a month if they stock the expected number of units demanded but sell 2000 units?
Missing information:
The demand for a product varies from month to month. Based on the past year's data, the following probability distribution shows MNM company's monthly demand.
x f(x)
Unit Demand Probability
0 0.10
1,000 0.10
2,000 0.30
3,000 0.40
4,000 0.10
Answer:
total expected demand = 100 + 600 + 1,200 + 400 = 2,300 units
the company spends 2,300 x $8 = $18,400 to produce the units in stock
the company earns 2,000 x $10 = $20,000 from selling the units
assuming that the remaining units (unsold units) must be discarded and have no value, then the company will earn $20,000 - $18,400 = $1,600
What do you see as the major deficiencies current information systems budgeting and prioritization processes are run
Answer:
The major challenges with the current information systems budgeting and prioritisation process are:
The focus was overly on how the budgeted monies will be spent and how much return it will bring to the business. Not much thought was given to how the monies required for the expenses will be generated. Budgeting not only looks at the outflow, it examines existing and potential sources of income/revenue. When this is balanced, the company can integrate such into their marketing strategy armed with what information about the market that they possess.The prioritization is all wrong. Budgeting is because there is are organisational objectives to be met with limited resources.
Because those resources are limited, the said objectives have to be prioritized. Income-generating projects must hold more priority over non-revenue generating activities.
If there is a strategic link between the company's Information Systems upgrade and an increase in its bottom line, then it must be given priority.
Cheers!
A tailor makes wool tweed sport coats and wool slacks. He is able to get a shipment of 150 square yards of wool cloth from Scotland each month to make coats and slacks, and he has 200 hours of his own labor to make them each month. A coat requires 3 square yards of wool and 10 hours to make, and a pair of slacks requires 5 square yards of wool and 4 hours to make. The tailor earns $50 in profit from each coat he makes and $40 from each pair of slacks. He wants to know how many coats and pairs of slacks to produce to maximize profit.
a. Formulate an integer linear programming model for this problem.
b. Determine the integer solution to this problem by using the computer. Compare this solution with the solution without integer restrictions and indicate whether the rounded-down solution would have been optimal.
Answer:
maximize 50c+40s subject to 3c+5s≤150, 10c+4s≤200(c, s) = (10, 24)Explanation:
a) The linear programming model takes into account material and labor. It seeks to maximize profit.
Let c and s represent the numbers of coats and slacks produced in a month.
Maximize profit = 50c +40s subject to ...
3c + 5s ≤ 150 . . . . . limit on yards of wool
10c + 4s ≤ 200 . . . limit on hours of labor
c ≥ 0, s ≥ 0 . . . . . . . quantities produced cannot be negative
__
b) Many on-line solvers, even with an "integer" restriction, produce a rational number as a solution. We did find one that was able to accept a restriction that values be integers. Its solution is ...
(coats, slacks) = (10, 24) . . . . first attachment
The non-integer solutions are ...
(coats, slacks) = (200/19, 450/19) ≈ (10.526, 23.684) . . . . second attachment
A graphical solution lets one find integer grid points that are close to the optimum non-integer solution.
(coats, slacks) = (10.526, 23.684) = (10, 24) . . . third attachment
Rounding down the non-integer solution would give (10, 23), which is less than the optimal solution.
g At price of $1.30 per pound, a local apple orchard is willing to supply 150 pounds of apples per day. At a price of $1.50 per pound, the orchard is willing to supply 170 pounds of apples per day. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of supply is about
Answer:
The price elasticity of supply is about 0.87.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply is the degree of responsiveness of quantity supplied to the change in price.
The midpoint method of calculating the price elasticity of supply uses the average percentage change in both quantity and price, and this is given as follows:
Price elasticity of supply = Percentage change in supplied / Percentage change in price
We therefore apply this as follows:
Percentage change in quantity supplied = {(New supply - Old supply) / [(New supply + Old supply) / 2]} * 100 = {(170 - 150) / [(170 + 150) / 2]} * 100 = 12.50%
Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old price) / 2]} * 100 = {(1.50 - 1.3) / [(1.50 + 1.30) / 2]} * 100 = 14.29%
Therefore, we have:
Price elasticity of supply = Percentage change in supplied / Percentage change in price = 12.50% / 14.29% = 0.87
Therefore, the price elasticity of supply is about 0.87.
Note that since the price elasticity of demand of about 0.87 is less than 1, it implies that the relationship between the quantity demanded and the price is inelastic.

Parker:
Sales $ 1,000,000
Cost of sales 400,000
Total $ 600,000
Smith:
Sales $ 700,000
Cost of sales $ 350,000
Total $ 350,000
What amount should Parker report as cost of sales in its Year 1 consolidated income statement?
a. $750,000
b. $680,000
c. $500,000
d. $430,000
Answer:
c. $500,000
Explanation:
Given that :
Parker Corp. owns 80% of Smith Inc.'s common stock
During Year 1, Parker sold Smith $250,000 of inventory
Therefore; adjusted for inter Corp. sales = $250,000
The following information pertains to Smith and Parker's sales for Year 1:
Parker Smith
Sales $ 1,000,000 $ 700,000
Cost of Sales $400,000 $ 350,000
Total $ 600,000 $ 350,000
For the Unadjusted Cost of Sales of Parker and Smith = $400,000+$ 350,000
= $750,000
The amount that Parker should report as cost of sales in its Year 1 consolidated income statement = Unadjusted Cost of Sales - adjusted for inter Corp. sales

= $500,000
Journalizing and posting an adjusting entry for accrued salaries expense
Birch Park Senior Center has a weekly payroll of $12,500. December 31 falls on Wednesday, and Birch Park Senior Center will pay its employees the following Monday (January 5) for the previous full week. Assume Birch Park Senior Center has a five-day workweek and has an unadjusted balance in Salaries Expense of $620,000.
Requirements
1. Record the adjusting entry for accrued salaries on December 31.
2. Post the adjusting entry to the accounts involved, and show their balances after adjustments.
3. Record the journal entry for payment of salaries made on January 5.
Answer:
1. Debit Salaries expense $7,500
Credit Accrued Salaries $7,500
2. Balance in Accrued salaries is $7,500
Balance in Salaries expense is $627,500
3. Debit Salaries expense $5,000
Debit Accrued Salaries $7,500
Credit Cash $12,500
Being entries to recognize the payment of salaries
Explanation:
When an expense is incurred but yet to be paid, it is recognized with a corresponding entry posted into an accrued expense account (this shows the entity has a liability).
If the weekly payroll expense is $12,500 then the daily rate is
= $12,500/5 (for 5 work day week)
= $2,500
If December 31 falls on a Wednesday, it means that an expense (payroll) has been incurred for 3 days. This expense amounts to
= 3 * $2,500
= $7,500
This will be recognized as a debit to Salaries expense and a credit to accrued expense.
The balance in Salaries expense will be
= $620,000 + $7,500
= $627,500
The remaining expense that will be further incurred at the end of the week
= $12,500 - $7,500
= $5,000
When payment is made, the liability is cleared

100 shares ×3=300 shares
Therefore Under the family attribution rules, 300 shares of Panda stock is what Min is deemed to own
Suppose that in Slovakia one unit of labor can produce either 20 tons of wheat or 40 tons of soy and in Poland one unit of labor can produce either 40 tons of wheat or 20 tons of soy. If each country has two units of labor, which of the following consumption combinations can be attained only with trade?A. Slovakia consumes 80 tons of soy.
B. Poland consumes 80 tons of wheat.
C. Poland consumes 40 tons of wheat and 20 tons of soy.
D. Slovakia consumes 30 tons of both soy and wheat.
Answer:
D. Slovakia consumes 30 tons of both soy and wheat.
Explanation:
According to the statement, Slovakia can produce 40 tons of wheat, 80 tons of soy or 20 tons of wheat and 40 tons of soy with 2 units of labor. On the other hand, Poland can produce 80 tons of wheat ,40 tons of soy or 40tons of wheat and 20tons of soy with two units of labor. If the two countries do not trade at all, they would have to consume what they can produce. Slovakia could only consume a maximun amount of 40 tons of wheat or 80 tons of soy (or a combination of 20 tons of wheat and 40 tons of soy), and Poland could only consume a maximun amount of 80 tons of wheat or 40 tons of soy (or a combination of 40 tons of wheat and 20 tons of soy).Slovakia can only consume 30 tons of both soy and wheat only if it trades, otherwise, this situation could not be attained, as mentioned in the previous paragraph.On October 1, Black Company receives a 9% interest-bearing note from Reese Company to settle a $20,000 account receivable.

Computing Predetermined Overhead Rates and Job Costs LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3 Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 100,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost 6,50,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $3.00
Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate
2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job:
Direct material 450
Direct labor cost 210
Machine hours used 40
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400.
3. If Job 400 includes 52 units, what is the unit product cost for this job?
4. If Moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of its total manufacturing cost, then what selling price per unit would it have established for Job 400?
5. If Moody hired you as a consultant to critique its pricing methodology, what would you say?
Answer:
1. $6.50 per machine hour
2. $920
3. $ 17.69
4. $21.23
5. Pricing methodology - Cost plus Mark -up
- This ensures that the price charged covers all costs related to the product, which is good for maintaining profits.
- However the price does not consider the market demand and competition which might affect sales volumes
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $650,000 / 100,000
= $6.50 per machine hour
Total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400
Direct material $450
Direct labor cost $210
Overheads Applied ($6.50 × 40) $260
Total manufacturing cost $920
Unit product cost for Job 400
Unit product cost = Total Cost / Number of units completed
= $920 / 52 units
= $ 17.6923
= $ 17.69
Selling price if Moody uses a markup percentage of 120%
Selling price = Unit product cost × 120 %
= $ 17.69 × 120%
= $21.23

August 2021 Ending Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold:
1. Ending Inventory = 9,000 units at $5.88 per unit = $52,920
2. Cost of goods sold =
9,600 x $5.87 = $56,352
7,000 x $5.95 = $41,650
16,600 units = $98,002
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
Beginning Inventory 2,000 $5.70 $11,400
Purchases 12,000 $5.90 $70,800
Weighted average cost = ($11,400 + $70,800) / 14,000 = $5.87
Sales (9,600) $12.00 $115,200
Units remaining 4,400 $5.87 $25,828
Purchases 7,200 $6.00 $43,200
Weighted average cost = ($25,828 + $43,200) / 11,600 = $5.95
Sales (7,000) $11.40 $79,800
Units remaining 4,600 $5.95 $27,370
Purchases 4,400 $5.80 $25,520
Weighted average cost = ($27,370 + $25,520) / 9,000 = $5.88
Ending Inventory 9,000 $5.88 $52,920
b) The 'Average Cost Method' or the Weighted Average Cost Method assumes that the cost of inventory is based on the average cost of the goods available for sale during the period. To compute the average cost, divide the total cost of goods available for sale by the total units available for sale.
