Standard Product Cost, Direct Materials Variance Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (2,300 pounds) has the following standards: Standard Quantity Standard Price Whole tomatoes 3,800 lbs. $0.46 per lb. Vinegar 210 gal. 2.80 per gal. Corn syrup 18 gal. 10.20 per gal. Salt 84 lbs. 2.60 per lb. The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch 08-99 were as follows: 4,000 lbs. of tomatoes 202 gal. of vinegar 19 gal. of corn syrup 83 lbs. of salt a. Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Standard unit materials cost per pound=$1.11 per pound
Explanation:
The standard material cost for a standard batch = Total material cost / standard qty (in pounds)
Total material cost = (3,800× $0.46) + (210× 2.80) (84×2.60)=$2554.4
Total standard quantity = 2,300 pounds
Standard unit materials cost per pound =$2554.4/ 2,300 pounds=$1.11 per pounds
standard unit materials cost per pound=$1.11 per pound
Suppose you borrowed $15,000 at a rate of 8.5% and must repay it in 5 equal installments at the end of each of the next 5 years. How much would you still owe at the end of the first year, after you have made the first payment
Answer:
After first payment the amount remains[tex]= $3807.1066 * 4 = $15228.4264[/tex]
Explanation:
The borrowed amount = $15000
The interest rate on borrowed amount = 8.5%
Repayment years = 5 years
Installment amount should be in five equal apart.
Now we have to find the annual payment amount (that is annuity ).
[tex]15000 = \frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} \\15000 = \frac{ A(1-(1+ 0.085)^{-5}}{0.085}\\1275 = A(1-(1+ 0.085)^{-5}} \\1275 = 0.3349A \\A = $3807.1066[/tex]
Since it is given that amount is repaid in 5 equal installment. Thus installment amount is $3807.1066 and after 1st installment four installment have to be paid.
So after first payment the amount remains[tex]= $3807.1066 * 4 = $15228.4264[/tex]

Suppose you are trying to decide whether to invest in a company that generates a high expected ROE, and you want to conduct further analysis on the company’s performance. If you wanted to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, you would: Compare the firm’s financial ratios for the current year with its ratios in previous years Compare the firm’s financial ratios with other firms in the industry for the current year
Answer:
Compare the firm’s financial ratios with other firms in the industry for the current year
Explanation:
return on equity (ROE) = net income / stockholders' equity
it measures how profitable the company is according the amount of money that stockholders' invested in it.
Since you are trying to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, it doesn't make sense to compare the current financial ratios with the financial ratios of previous years. If you want to compare the current year, you must compare the current financial ratios to the ratios of other companies in the same industry or the industry as a whole.
Roses, Incorporated made a batch of flower arrangements that were sold to grocery stores for Valentine's Day. The standard and actual costs of the roses used in each arrangement are as follows:
Standard Actual
No of roses per arrangement 6 6.1
Price per rose .60 .58
A. The company made and sold 1,000 of the Valentine's Day arrangement. Based on this informaton the materials price variance was:________.
a. $122 favorable.
b. $122 unfavorable.
c. $60 favorable.
d. $60 unfavorable.
B Based on this informaton the materials usage variance was:_______.
a. $122 favorable.
b. $122 unfavorable.
c. $ 60 favorable.
d. $60 unfavorable.
Answer:
b. $122 unfavorable.
d. $60 unfavorable.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Material Price Variance = (Standard price - Actual price ) × Actual quantity of Roses
where,
Actual quanity is
= 6.1 × 1,000 arrangements
= 6,100 roses
And,
Standard price = 0.6 and Actual price = 0.58
So, the material price variance is
= ($0.6 - $0.58 ) × 6,100 roses
= $122 Favorable
2, Now the material usage variance is
Material usage variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard price per rose
= ($6 × 1,000 - 6,100) × 0.6
= $60 Unfavorable

(1) Of the manufacturing costs, three-fourths are paid for in the month they are incurred; one fourth is paid in the following month
(2) Insurance expense is $890 a month; however, the insurance is paid four times yearly in the first month of the quarter, (i.e., January, April, July, and October).
(3) Property tax is paid once a year in November The cash payments expected for Finch Company in the month of May are
a. $224 225
b. $144,375
c. $184,300
d. $39,925
Answer:
$184,300
Explanation:
1 There will be no cash payment for insurance expense because it has been already paid.
2 Depreciation is not a cash expense
3 Property tax will be paid in November
4 Only the manufacturing cost is to be paid in May
Manufacturing cost = May(75%) + April(25%)
Manufacturing cost = ($192,500 x 75%) + ($159,700 x 25%)
Manufacturing cost = $184,300
Given the following information, calculate the debt ratio percentage: Liabilities = $25,000Liquid assets = $5,000Monthly credit payments = $800Monthly savings = $760Net worth = $75,000Take-home pay = $2,300Gross income = $3,500Monthly expenses = $2,050
Answer:
33.33%
Explanation:
The debt ratio percentage is calculated as:
Liabilities / Net worth = Debt Ratio Percentage
$25,000 / $75,000 = 0.3333
0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
The debt ratio is easy to calculate and is calculated by dividing the total liabilities of a person with the total net worth of the person. Dividing both gives a figure in decimal which is then multiplied by 100 to derive a percentage.

Compute ending inventory and cost of goods sold under FIFO, LIFO, and average cost inventory costing methods.
Answer:
FIFO : Ending Inventory = $6,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $36,000
LIFO : Ending Inventory = $36,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method : Ending Inventory = $10,500, Cost of Goods Sold = $31,500
Explanation:
FIFO
Assumes that the first goods received by business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Earliest Price
= 3000 units × $2
= $6,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
LIFO
Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 4000 units × $2 = $8,000
5000 units × $4 = $20,000
Total = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method
The average cost of goods held is recalculated each time a new delivery of goods is received Issues are then priced out at this weighted average cost.
First Calculate the Average Cost
Average Cost = Total Cost / Total Units
= (2000 × $5 + 6000 × $4 + 4000 × $2) / 12,000
= $42,000 / 12,000
= $3.50
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Average Price
= 3000 units × $3.50
= $10,500
Cost of goods sold
Ending Inventory = Units Sold × Average Price
= 9,000 units × $3.50
= $31,500
On January 1, 2019, Upward Company purchased a copy machine. The machine costs $320,000, its estimated useful life is 8 years, and its expected salvage value is $20,000. What is the depreciation expense for 2020 using double-declining-balance method
Answer:
$60,000
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 / 8 = 0.25
Depreciation expense in 2019 = 0.25 x $320,000 = $80,000
Book value at the beginning of 2020 = $320,000 - $80,000 = $240,000
Depreciation expense in 2020 = 0.25 x $240,000 = $60,000

What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded?a) $12,240.b) $9,340.c) $9,780.d) $6,440.
Answer:
The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded is $12,240. Option A
Explanation:
Cash sales = $167,000
Credit sales = $467,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $127,000
Sales returns and allowances = $47,000
Gross profit = $507,000
Accounts receivable = $275,000
Sales discounts = $31,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance = $2,900
Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' = $467,000 × 2%
= $9,240
Credit balance in the allowance account = $2,900
Bad debts expense = Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' + Credit balance in the allowance account
= $9,340 + $2,900
= $12,240

Answer:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income = $117,500
b) Profit Margin = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover = 0.86
d) Return on Investment = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income = $69,750
b) Profit Margin = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover = 1.18
d) Return on Investment = 0.1
Explanation:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $280,000 – $162,500 = $117,500
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $117,500 - $59,500 = $58,000
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($58,000 / $280,000) * 100 = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $280,000 / $325,000 = 0.86
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $58,000 / $325,000 = 0.1785 = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $222,500 – $152,750 = $69,750
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $69,750 - $42,625 = $27,125
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($27,125 / $222,500) * 100 = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $222,500 / $189,000 = 1.18
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $27,125 / $189,000 = 0.1435 = 0.1
An investment will pay $200 at the end the year, $250 at the end of the next year, $400 at the end of the third year, and $500 at the end of the 4th year. Other investments of equal risk earn 6%. How much is this investment worth today
Answer:
PV= $1,143.03
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
An investment will pay $200 at the end of the year, $250 at the end of the next year, $400 at the end of the third year, and $500 at the end of the 4th year. Other investments of equal risk earn 6%.
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Cf1= 200/1.06= 188.68
Cf2= 250/1.06^2= 222.50
Cf3= 400/1.06^3= 335.85
Cf4= 500/1.06^4= 396
PV= $1,143.03
Currently, the price of Mattco stock is $30 a share. You have $30,000 of your own funds to invest. Using the maximum margin allowed of 50%, what is your percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share
Answer:
The percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share is 20%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share we would have to make the following calculation:
percentage profit or loss=Total Gain/Amount invested
Amount invested=$30,000
According to the given data we have the following:
Share price=$30
Amount invested=$30000
Therefore, Number of shares purchased= ($30,000/50% *1/30)=$2,000
Gain per share ($33-$30)=$3
Therefore, Total Gain=$2,000*$3=$6,000
Therefore, percentage profit or loss= $6,000/$30,000
percentage profit or loss=20%
The percentage profit or loss if you purchase the stock and it rises to $33 a share is 20%
The following lots of a particular commodity were available for sale during the year Beginning inventory 9 units at $47.00 First purchase 19 units at $55.00 Second purchase 51 units at $59.00 Third purchase 19 units at $59.00 The firm uses the periodic system, and there are 26 units of the commodity on hand at the end of the year. What is the amount of inventory at the end of the year according to the LIFO method? Select the correct answer. $1,534.00 $5,598.00 $1,358.00 $1,222.00
Answer:
Ending inventory= $1,358
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory 9 units at $47.00
First purchase 19 units at $55.00
Second purchase 51 units at $59.00
Third purchase 19 units at $59.00
Ending inventory in units= 26
Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into the inventory.
Ending inventory= 9*47 + 17*55= $1,358

Explanation:
Absorption costing values unit produced using the full cost per unit.
It categories cost as production and non-production cost
Full cost per unit =Direct labour cost + direct material cost + Variable production overhead + fixed production overhead
Fixed prod overhead per unit = Total fixed production overhead/Number of units
= $148,000/3,700 units=$40 per unit
Full cost per unit = 132+ 93+ 5 + 40 = $270 per unit
Absorption costing unit = $270 per unit

The company's actual payroll costs were $158,200. If the standard labor cost per hour is $11, Denver's labor efficiency variance is: Question 18 options: $11,300 (U). $11,000 (U). $11,000 (F). $11,300 (F).
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $11,000 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Denver Co. recently used 14,000 labor hours to produce 7,500 units. According to manufacturing specifications, each unit is anticipated to take two hours to complete. The standard labor cost per hour is $11.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (2*7,500 - 14,000)*11
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $11,000 favorable
On December 31, 2018, a company had assets of $29 billion and stockholders' equity of $22 billion. That same company had assets of $55 billion and stockholders' equity of $17 billion as of December 31, 2019. During 2019, the company reported total sales revenue of $22 billion and total expenses of $20 billion. What is the company's debt-to-assets ratio on December 31, 2019
Answer:
0.69
Explanation:
From the question above on December 31, 2018 a company has an assets of $29 billion and stockholders equity of $22 billion.
On December 31, 2019 the same company recorded an assets of $55billion and stockholders equity of $17billion
Inorder to calculate the debt-to-assess ratio the first step is to find the amount of liabilities
Liabilities= Assets-Stockholders equity
Assets= $55 billion
Stockholders equity= $17 billion
= $55billion-$17billion
= $38 billion
Therefore, the debt-to-assets ratio can be calculated as follows
Debt-to-assets ratio= Total liabilities/Total Assets
= $38 billion/ $55 billion
= 0.69
Hence on December 31, 3019 the debt-to-assets ratio is 0.69

It is considering investing in a project that costs $97116 and is expected to generate cash inflows of $39000 each year for three years. The approximate internal rate of return on this project is
Answer:
9.92%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-97116
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 3 = $39000
IRR = 9.92%

In December of 2021, XL Computer's internal auditors discovered that office equipment costing $800,000 was charged to expense in 2019. The asset had an expected life of 10 years with no residual value. XL would have recorded a half year of depreciation in 2019.
Required:
Prepare the necessary correcting entry that would be made in 2016 (ignore income taxes), and the entry to record depreciation for 2021.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entries are shown below:-
1. Office equipment Dr, $800,000
To Accumulated depreciation-equipment $120,000
To Retained earnings $680,000
(Being office equipment is recorded)
Here we debited the office equipment as assets is increasing and we credited the accumulated depreciation-equipment as assets is decreasing and retained earning as stockholder is increasing.
2. Depreciation expenses Dr, $80,000
To Accumulated depreciation-equipment $80,000
(Being depreciation expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the depreciation expenses as it increasing the expenses and we credited the accumulated depreciation-equipment as decreases the assets.
Working note
Depreciation
For 2019
= $800,000 ÷ 10 years
= $80,000 × 6 ÷ 12
= $40,000
For 2020
= $800,000 ÷ 10 years
= $80,000
Total = $40,000 + $80,000
= $120,000
There are many diet aids on the market. They promise immediate weight loss without exercise or a change in diet. Each is accompanied by a testimonial from a satisfied user. If you pay close attention, you will notice that each ad also contains the statement, "Results may vary." Most likely this statement is included to prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from requiring the dietary aid distributor from having to:_______.
Answer:
run corrective advertising
Explanation:
This was likely included to prevent the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from requiring the dietary aid distributor from having to run corrective advertising. This is a sort of punishment placed on an ad company that has made an ad with false or misleading information, in order to correct this they must add a message that is placed on their ads in order to right this wrong. This message can badly hurt the company as it advises the viewers that the company has spread false information.
The accounting scandals of the early 2000s led many people to question the legitimacy of: ratio analysis as a means of evaluating the performance of a firm. relying on the recommendations of tax accountants to find ways of reducing the taxes owed by a business organization. publishing financial information about a firm on the Internet. allowing an accounting firm to do both consulting and auditing work for the same company.
Answer:
The accounting scandals of the early 2000sled many people to question the legitimacy of:
allowing an accounting firm to do both consulting and auditing work for the same company.
Explanation:
1) Enron and WorldCom fell from grace during the scandal. And Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 was introduced to regulate the practise of auditing, which was before self-regulated.
2) People felt that accounting firms were getting so much revenue from consulting that they did not pay much attention to their auditing work.
3) They also felt that the consulting relationship was jeopardizing their responsibilities and commitments as independent auditors.
4) Since they were involved in consulting and offering management services, they paid a lip service to their main responsibilities and directly compromised their positions as verifiers of the truth and fairness in the presentation of financial statements.
5) According to Paul Krugman of The New York Times, “the Enron debacle is not just the story of a company that failed; it is the story of a system that failed. And the system didn’t fail through carelessness or laziness; it was corrupted.” People felt that the corruption arose from the performance of these separate services by the same auditing personnel and firm.
A student believes that the average grade on the statistics final examination is 87. A sample of 36 final
examinations is taken. The average grade in the sample is 83.96. The population variance is 144.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Using a critical value, test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance.
c. Using a p-value, test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance.
d. Using a confidence interval, test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance.
Answer:
(a) H₀: μ = 87 vs. Hₐ: μ ≠ 87.
(b) [tex]z=-1.52>-z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96[/tex]. The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(c) The p-value = 0.1286 > α = 0.05. The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(d) The 95% confidence interval for the average grade on the statistics final examination is (80.04, 87.88).
Explanation:
A statistical hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(a)
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87, i.e. μ = 87.
Hₐ: The average grade on the statistics final examination is not 87, i.e. μ ≠ 87.
(b)
The information provided is:
[tex]n=36\\\bar x=83.96\\\sigma^{2}=144[/tex]
As the population variance is provided, we will use a z-test for single mean.
Compute the test statistic value as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}/n}}=\frac{83.96-87}{\sqrt{144/36}}=-1.52[/tex]
The test statistic value is -1.52.
Decision rule:
Reject H₀ if:
[tex]z<-z_{\alpha/2}\ \text{or}\ z<z_{\alpha/2}\\\\\Rightarrow z<-z_{0.05/2}\ \text{or}\ z<z_{0.05/2}\\\\\Rightarrow z<-1.96\ \text{or}\ z<1.96[/tex]
The calculated value of [tex]z=-1.52>-z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96[/tex].
The null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Conclusion:
The average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(c)
Decision Rule:
If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected.
Compute the p-value for the two-tailed test as follows:
[tex]p-value=2\cdot P(Z<-1.52)=2\times 0.0643=0.1286[/tex]
*Use a z-table for the probability.
The p-value of the test is 0.1286.
p-value = 0.1286 > α = 0.05
The null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Thus, it can be concluded that average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.
(d)
Compute the 95% confidence interval for the average grade on the statistics final examination as follows:
[tex]CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=83.96\pm 1.96\cdot \sqrt{\frac{144}{36}}\\\\=83.96\pm 3.92\\\\=(80.04, 87.88)[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the average grade on the statistics final examination is (80.04, 87.88).
As the 95% confidence interval consists of the null value, i.e. 87, the null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Hence, concluding that the average grade on the statistics final examination is 87.

Answer:
240 units
Explanation:
We can find Optimal order quantity easily by Optimal order quantity formula using the fixed order quantity formula
Formula:: Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = Ordering cost per order
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost per unit
Calculations
Lets put in the values
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2*6*12000}{2.5} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = 240 units
