Answer with its Explanation:
The forces that had lessened the importance of the cost and management accounting systems in today's dynamic world are as under:
The ancient bookkeeping and the costing techniques were very time consuming and the accounting systems were also not integrated with the financial accounting systems. Today we have very robust and integrated systems which helps the management of the business operations nation wide with greater security and better performance than the previous old versions.The complexity of the organization operations have resulted in origination of additional management accounting techniques that were adapted in the form of automated software, that are used to produce management reports on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. The examples include the Throughput costing, Activity based costing, Bench-marking techniques, etc.The activities automation has led to attaining of maximum efficiency possible in some areas which wasn't possible in the past. The robots management systems, activity automation, etc has increased the fixed cost share in the total cost and the variable cost has become a very minute share of the total cost of the activity. This variable cost which is often referred to as controllable cost, is very less in percentage share of total cost today than 10 years back. In the future, we will see it as a very very very small share of total cost. This makes the today's management costing techniques obsolete and requires new solutions, new techniques, new softwares, etc. to manage the companies operations.Al’s Fine Winery has had workers attempting to band together to form a union.

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

An important element of just-in-time processing is Group of answer choices dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice. all of the above. a specialized workforce. less emphasis on a quality control system.
Answer:
dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice
Explanation:
I will first try to explain what the concept means. just in time processing is an inventory strategy that has to do with the ordering of materials at short notice and receiving these items just in time for the production process. It decreases inventory costs and waste and also raises efficiency since goods are only going to be received as they are needed for production.
Therefore the correct answer is: dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice.
Why should a manager in an international business care about the political economy of free trade or about the relative merits of arguments of free trade and protectionism
Answer:
The answer is explained below
Explanation:
To begin with, the policies that the goverments decide to implement in their countries tend to influece in a huge way the companies decisions and therefore its actions as well. Therefore that as a company manager of an international business he needs to stay very updated about the government policies over the countries where his company works. Moreover, the manager will understand that if there is free trade in a country then there will be no problems for his company to start selling there and obtaining the maximum profits as possible and if there is protectionism then the company will have to deal with the policies that the government implemented there. And that is why that as an international business manager he should really care about the policies of the country's government and if there is free trade of protectionism.
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]
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.
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.

Suppose there are three commercial concrete suppliers that account for 90% of sales (of nearly identical products) in northern New England. What is the most important thing they can do to earn profits in the commercial concrete industry
Answer: c. Collude
Explanation:
In order to make the maximum profit, the most important thing that these commercial concrete suppliers can do would be to Collude. While this is against fair market practices in a competitive market, it will ensure that they make enough profits in the industry.
With a 90% market share between them, they could collude to establish a price at which they will all sell at and because of their high market share, this is the price that the market will begin to sell at. That price will be a price that is high enough for them all to make sufficient profits therefore the goal of the collusion will be accomplished.

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

Continuing with the company selected in Unit 2, think about the types of financial data that would be included and excluded in differential analysis. Propose which specific revenues and costs should be considered in an evaluation to drop or keep a: Customer Product line In addition, explain sunk and opportunity costs as they relate to your selected company. 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
Sunk Costs: A sunk expense is a cost that an element has brought about, and which it can not recoup anymore. Sunk expenses ought not be viewed as when settling on the choice to keep putting resources into a progressing venture, since these expenses can't be recouped.

Air Jamaica Vacations (AJV) requested bids from printing firms to produce travel brochures. Moore Graphic Services (Moore) responded with an offer quoting prices and terms for an agreement to produce between 100,000 and 250,000 brochures. The offer stated that sales tax would be charged and requested that AJV indicate its acceptance by signing and returning the offer. Moore then contacted one of its vendors, Starr Printing Co. (Starr), about producing the brochures and sent AJV samples of the work to be performed. Meanwhile, AJV returned the offer with some modified terms, including a handwritten notation, "no tax." Moore then told Starr it was putting "the job" on hold and told AJV that it could not perform "the job" because of a dispute about the tax. Starr printed the brochures and demanded payment. AJV refused, claiming in part that the brochures were of "poor quality." Starr filed a suit in a federal district court against AJV. AJV filed a suit against Moore, claiming a breach of contract for giving the job to Starr. Moore filed a motion for summary judgment, on the ground that there was no contract. Did Moore and AJV have a contract? Why or why not? Please explain. HTML EditorKeyboard Shortcuts
Answer:
There was no contract between Moore and AJV.
Moore sent an offer to AJV, but the offer was not accepted. Instead, AJV made a counteroffer to Moore asking them to pay the taxes themselves, not AJV. But Moore did not accept AJV's counteroffer, therefore, there was no contract between them.
In order for a legal contract to exist, both parties must accept the terms of the contract, i.e. both parties must the other party's offer. In this case, neither Moore or AJV accepted each other's offer.

On December 2, Coley Corp. acquired 1,000 shares of its $2 par value common stock for $27 each On December 20, Coley Corp. resold 400 shares for $30 each. Which of the following is correct regarding the effect of the reselling of shares on the accounting equation?

Proceeds on the resale of shares = 400 shares x $30 = $12,000
Profit / Gain on resale = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200
As there is a profit of $1,200 the stockholders equity will be increased on the reselling of share.
As the assets section is increased because more cash is received against the cost of those shares.
Read the case below and answer the questions which follow:
Part I: IBM has long been one of IT's leaders and has acquired more than 22.000 patents in the past decade. However, by the 1990s the company had lost its draw for customers and its innovative edge. In 2003 IBM decided to redefine its business model. The company phased out its presence in creating/selling hardware and sold its Personal Computing Division to Lenovo, a computer company in China. If a company wants to stay on top of its market, it must be constantly moving forward and adapting its focus. IBM restructured its business skills, assets, and delivery capabilities to meet the needs of their clients who wanted to blend information technology with business operations. The company set up all architecture and technologies for the On Demand operating environment.
Part ll: In 2005, IBM continued to make On Demand Business more tangible and even more focused on innovation. The company's goal has been execution. As part of IBM's On Demand focus, the company vowed to become more On Demand itself by creating a true global reach and utilizing the talent available worldwide and by giving authority and resources to those working in close contact with its clients. On Demand has allowed IBM to become focused and in sync across the board.
Part IlI: Critics argue that there is nothing new to IT in On Demand, and others clalm development has not gone far enough for On Demand to be truly functional. Regardless, IT companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Oracle (to nam few) are pursuing technology along the same lines. This tells developers and executives at IBM that they are certainly on the right track -setting the pace and in the lead.
