Explanation:
In that question, the answer is that a move to a product team structure would lead to greater efficiency or effectiveness would depend on the type of product or service the organization offers. Its structure must be developed so that its objectives and goals are more effectively achieved. In a functional structure, for example, which operates in the form of specific departments formed by people who use the same knowledge, tools or techniques to carry out a job, the product team's structure would not be as efficient and effective because all efforts of the divisions of a company with a functional structure are to offer the same product or service, through a system of systematized activities that integrate the organizational whole.
Vest Industries manufactures 40,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follows: Direct materials $ 75,000 Direct labor 120,000 Variable overhead 45,000 Fixed overhead 60,000 Total $300,000 An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $12.75. Fixed cost will remain the same if the component is purchased from an outside supplier. Vest Industries can rent its unused manufacturing facilities for $45,000 if it purchases the component from the outside supplier. What is the effect on income if Vest purchases the component from the outside supplier
Answer:
If the company buys the component, income will decrease by $225,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 40,000
The manufacturing cost:
Direct materials $ 75,000
Direct labor 120,000
Variable overhead 45,000
An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $12.75.
Vest Industries can rent its unused manufacturing facilities for $45,000.
We will take into account only the differential costs.
Make in -house:
Total cost= 75,000 + 120,000 + 45,000= $240,000
Buy:
Total cost= 40,000*12.75 - 45,000= $465,000
If the company buys the component, income will decrease by $225,000.

Perpetual inventory system. Finished goods inventories. Weighted average inventories. LIFO inventory system.
Answer:
Perpetual inventory system.
Explanation:
The cost accounting refers to managing the cost of the company so that the company could able to produced their goods at the lowest cost
Now in the case of a manufacturing company, various things can be calculated like - the cost of goods sold, ending work in process, etc
The perpetual inventory system refers to the system in which the inventory is updated on a regular basis while on the other hand periodic inventory system refers to the system in which the company updated their inventory counts in periodic or particular period only
So here the manufacturing company based on perpetual inventory system so that it can trace the cost in an effective manner

This allows the individual to point out key levels of support and resistance as well as any trend that may be occurring. These indications allow the individual to make a more educated decision on the best time to execute orders to buy the stock.
The management of Woznick Corporation has been concerned for some time with the financial performance of its product V86O and has considered discontinuing it on several occasions. Data from the company's accounting system appear below: Sales ................................................................ Variable expenses............................................ Fixed manufacturing expenses ........................ Fixed selling and administrative expenses ...... $150,000 $72,000 $50,000 $33,000 In the company's accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $30,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $13,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product V86O is discontinued. A. According to the company's accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product V86O? B. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product V86O were dropped?
Answer:
A. According to the company's accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product V86O?
net loss ($5,000)B. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product V86O were dropped?
the company's net operating income would decrease by $40,000Explanation:
net operating income from product V860:
total sales $150,000
- variable expenses $72,000
- fixed manufacturing expenses $50,000
- fixed selling and administrative expenses $33,000
net loss ($5,000)
if product is dropped:
unavoidable fixed costs = ($50,000 + $33,000) - ($30,000 + $13,000) = $40,000
Klapper Company claimed a tax deduction which was uncertain when it was deducted in 2018 but is relatively certain of receiving the deduction over a five-year period. Which of the following is not correct in accounting for the uncertain tax item?
a. A contingency reserve will be set up at the same amount as the deferred tax asset if the firm is certain it may claim 100% of the deduction over time.
b. Income tax expense in the first year is the current portion of income tax expense minus the increase in the deferred tax asset.
c. The contingency reserve is reduced each year with the offset to the deferred tax account.
d. As the company will ultimately get 100% of the deduction, no contingency reserve is required.
Answer: d. As the company will ultimately get 100% of the deduction, no contingency reserve is required.
Explanation:
Just because the company will eventually get 100% of the deduction does not mean that no contingency reserve is required.
A contingency reserve needs to be created that is the same amount as the deferred tax asset which arises from the claimed deduction and deducted from every year to offset the deduction for that particular year until the 5 years have elapsed.

Felix, Inc., which has excess capacity, received a special order for 5,000 units at a price of $15 per unit. Currently, production and sales are anticipated to be 10,000 units without considering the special order. Budget information for the current year follows. Sales $210,000 - Cost of goods sold 155,000 Gross margin 55,000 Cost of goods sold includes $30,000 of fixed manufacturing cost. If the special order is accepted, will the company's income be increased or decreased
Answer:
$12,500 increase
Explanation:
The computation of the company income increased or decreased in the case of the special order accepted is shown below:
But before that we need to determine the variable cost of goods sold which is
The Variable cost of goods sold for 10,000 units is
= Total cost of goods sold - Fixed manufacturing cost
= $155,000 - $30,000
= $125,000
Now
Variable cost of goods sold for 5,000 units is
= $125,000 × 1 ÷ 2
= $62,500
And,
Special order size = 5,000 units
Selling price per unit in the special order = $15
So, the company income increased or decreased is
Sales (5,000 units × $15) $75,000
Less Variable cost of goods sold -$62,500
Net income $12,500
Therefore the net income is increased by $12,500 and in this, the fixed cost is not relevant so we do not considered it
Using $3040000 as the cost of goods manufactured, compute the cost of goods sold using the following information

Wilson has a 40 percent interest in the assets and income of the CC&W Partnership, and the basis in his partnership interest is $45,000 at the beginning of 2014. During 2014, the partnership's net loss is $60,000 and Wilson's share of the loss is $24,000. Also, Wilson receives a cash distribution from the partnership of $12,000 on June 30, 2014.
a. Indicate the amount of income or loss from the partnership that should be reported by Wilson on his 2014 individual income tax return.
b. Calculate Wilson's basis in his partnership interest at the end of 2014.
Answer and Explanation:
a. A partner can report his share of the loss of partnership on his personal income tax return to the base limit during his or her partnership interest.
Its partnership interest is based on $45,000 and its share of loss of the partnership is $24,000
So W can report all of the $24,000 partnership loss on his personal income tax return.
b. W's partnership loss reported on his income tax return, and the cash distributed by the partnership to him will reduce his partnership interest base.
Now,
W's basis in his partnership interest at the end of 2014 is
= W's basis in his partnership interest - Partnership loss reported by W on his income tax return - Cash distributed to W by the partnership
= $45,000 - $24,000 - $12,000
= $9,000

Other Expenses:
Manufacturing overhead ($420,000)
Variable selling & admin. ($408,000)
Fixed selling & admin. ($110,000)
Net income (loss) $694,000
Explanation:
a) Absorption costing includes all costs, including fixed costs, related to production. This implies that the cost of a finished product includes the following costs: direct materials, direct labor, variable and fixed manufacturing overhead.
b) Variable costing includes only the variable costs directly incurred in production. The cost of a finished product, therefore, includes the following costs: direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
The difference in the two is the inclusion of fixed manufacturing overhead in the absorption costing technique in order to arrive at the product cost. Whereas, in variable costing, the fixed manufacturing overhead is regarded as a period cost and not a product cost.
Another difference is that with absorption costing, you arrive at the gross profit from which period costs are deducted to obtain the net income (loss). With variable costing, you arrive at the contribution from which expenses are deducted to get the net income (loss).
On January 1, 2021, Perez Co. issued at par $10,000 of 6% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of Perez's common stock. No bonds were converted during 2021. Throughout 2021, Perez had 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Perez's 2021 net income was $4,500, and its income tax rate is 30%. No potentially dilutive securities other than the convertible bonds were outstanding during 2021. Perez's diluted earnings per share for 2021 would be:_________.a. $5.00.
b. $4.54.
c. $4.50.
d. $4.72.
Answer:
EPS = $4.50
diluted EPS = $2.46
Explanation:
no option is correct since EPS = $4.50, and the rest of the options are all higher amounts. Diluted EPS are always smaller than EPS.
common stock outstanding = 1,000 stocks
bonds shares (diluted) = 1,000 stocks
net income = $4,500
bond interest = $10,000 x 6% x (1 - 30%) = $420
diluted earnings per share = ($4,500 + $420) / (1,000 shares + 1,000 shares) = $4,920 / 2,000 shares = $2.46
Matt and Meg Comer are married and file a joint tax return. They do not have any children. Matt works as a history professor at a local university and earns a salary of $64,700. Meg works part-time at the same university. She earns $34,000 a year. The couple does not itemize deductions. Other than salary, the Comers’ only other source of income is from the disposition of various capital assets (mostly stocks).
a.
a. What is the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year?
Short-term capital gains $ 9,200
Short-term capital losses (2,200) )
Long-term capital gains 15,390
Long-term capital losses (6,390) )
b.
What is the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year?
Short-term capital gains $ 1,500
Short-term capital losses 0
Long-term capital gains 10,500
Long-term capital losses (10,200) )
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
Matt and Meg Comer are married, file a joint tax return and do not have any children.
The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700
The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses
The net short capital gain = $9,200 - $2,200 = $7,000
The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses
The net Long term capital gains = $15,390 - $6,390 = $9000
The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $7,000 + $9000
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $114700
The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction
The Taxable income = $114700 - $24,400
The Taxable income = $90,300
The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income
The net taxable income = $90,300 - $9000
The net taxable income = $81,300
For 2019:
Tax Liability = $9086 + ($81,300 - $78,950) × 22%
Tax Liability = $9086 + ($2,350) × 0.22
Tax Liability = $9086 + $517
Tax Liability = $9,603
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 × 15% (since it is between 15% - 37% ordinary income tax range, it may be taxed as 15%)
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 × 0.15
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $1350
Therefore; the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:
Tax Liability + The long-term capital gain for 2019
= $9,603 + $1350
= $10953
b.
The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700
The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses
The net short capital gain = $1,500 - $0 = $1,500
The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses
The net Long term capital gains = $10,500 - $10,200 = $300
The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $1,500 + $300
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $100,500
The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction
The Taxable income = $100500 - $24,400
The Taxable income = $76,100
The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income
The net taxable income = $76,100 - $300
The net taxable income = $75,800
For 2019:
Tax Liability = $1940 + ($75,800 - $19,400) × 12%
Tax Liability = $1940 + ($56400) × 0.12
Tax Liability = $1940 + $6768
Tax Liability = $8,708
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $3,190 × 0% (since it is in 10% - 15% ordinary income tax range)
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $0
Therefore; the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:
Tax Liability + The long-term capital gain for 2019
= $8,708 + $0
= $8708
Gienuine Products Inc. requires a new machine. Two companies have submitted bids, and you have been assigned the task of choosing one of the machines. Cash now analysis indicates the following:
Machine A Machine B Year Cash Flow Cash Flow o $2,000 -$2,000 832 832 832 832 0 2 0 0 4 3,877
What is the internal rate of return for each machine?
Answer:
18% and 24.01%
Explanation:
The computation of the internal rate of return for each machine is shown below:
Let us assume the Internal rate of return be X
And as we know that
The present value of cash inflows = present value of cash outflows
For Machine A
So,
$2,000 = $3877 ÷ 1.0x^4
So X = IRR = 18%
For Machine B
$2,000 = $832 ÷ 1.0x + $832 ÷ 1.0x^2 + $832 ÷ 1.0x^3 + $832 ÷ 1.0x^4
So X = IRR = 24.01%
Vandermark Credit Corp. wants to earn an effective annual return on its consumer loans of 14.75 percent per year. The bank uses daily compounding on its loans. What interest rate is the bank required by law to report to potential borrowers
Answer:
13.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the interest rate required by law is shown below:
As we know that
Effective annual rate = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ number of days)^number of days - 1
0.1475 = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ 365)^365 - 1
(0.1475 + 1) = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ 365)^365
(1.1475)^ × (1 ÷ 365) = 1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ 365
So, the Annual percentage rate is
= [(1.1475)^ × (1 ÷ 365) - 1] × 365
= 0.1376
= 13.76%
You own a stock portfolio invested 28 percent in Stock Q, 16 percent in Stock R, 42 percent in Stock S, and 14 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .97, 1.03, 1.43, and 1.88, respectively. What is the portfolio beta
Answer:
Beta= 1.3002
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You own a stock portfolio invested 28 percent in Stock Q, 16 percent in Stock R, 42 percent in Stock S, and 14 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .97, 1.03, 1.43, and 1.88, respectively.
To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B) + ... + (proportion of X*bet X)
Beta= (0.28*0.97) + (0.16*1.03) + (0.42*1.43) + (0.14*1.88)
Beta= 1.3002
An investor wishes to buy a new issue of U.S. Government agency bonds. You recommend that the customer purchase Federal Home Loan Bank bonds with a 20 year maturity. The new issue of Federal Home Loan Bank Bonds will be sold:
Answer: a par
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that an investor wishes to buy a new issue of U.S. Government agency bonds and was recommend that the customer purchase Federal Home Loan Bank bonds with a 20 year maturity.
It should be noted that new issues that relate to agency securities are typically sold by a selling group which will be appointed by the agency and such groups are usually made up of broker dealers and large banks.
The group will then sell the issue to the public at par and out of the revenue that is made, a selling concession will be paid by the agency to the selling group.
The purpose of the statement of cost of goods manufactured is to: A. Calculate the cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory during the period. B. Calculate cost of goods sold. C. Calculate net income. D. Both A and B
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Calculate the cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory during the period.(A)
Explanation:
Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM) is the total cost of production for a company, during a period, and it is the total cost incurred in manufacturing goods and transferring goods to finished inventory.
Knowing the cost of goods manufactured is used to make managerial decisions because it tells whether the manufacturing costs is too high or too low relative to the selling price of a good, hence it can be used to adjust some components such as direct labor, direct materials, overhead etc.

To amortize the premium on bonds for the year, using the straight-line method.
Explanation:
A bond is issued at par when investors pay the face value of a bond because its stated interest rate is equal to the prevailing market rate.
A bond discount occurs when investors pay less than the face value of a bond because its stated interest rate is lower than the prevailing market rate. The interest expense is increased by the amortization of the bond discount. Note that the amortization had been done annually. It could also be done semi-annually.
A bond premium occurs when investors are willing to pay more than the face value of a bond because its stated interest rate is higher than the prevailing market interest rate. The interest expense is reduced by the amortization of the premium.
The straight-line interest method has been used in this case, because no information is available about the changes in the bonds' book value. The other method is the effective interest method. This technique calculates the actual interest rate in a period based on the amount of a financial instrument's book value at the beginning of the accounting period. Thus, if the book value of a financial instrument decreases, so too will the amount of related interest and vice versa.
The straight-line method or the effective interest method is also used to amortize bond premiums and bond discounts.
