Straight-Line Depreciation A building acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $2,200,000 has an estimated residual value of $400,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3

Answers

Answer:

a)

Depreciable Cost = $ 1800000

b)

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 5%

c)

Depreciation expense per year = $90000

Explanation:

a)

The depreciable cost is the cost that qualifies for depreciation. It is calculated as,

Depreciable Cost = Cost - Salvage Value

Depreciable Cost = 2200000 - 400000

Depreciable Cost = $ 1800000

b)

The straight line depreciation method charges a constant depreciation expense every period. The rate of straight line depreciation can be calculated as follows,

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = Depreciable cost percentage / Estimated useful life

Straight Line Depreciation Rate =  100% / 20

Straight Line Depreciation Rate = 5%

c)

The annual straight line depreciation expense can be calculated as follows,

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable cost * Straight line depreciation rate

Depreciation expense per year = 1800000 * 0.05

Depreciation expense per year = $90000

b. UCL = 22.700 LCL = 18.500
c. UCL = 22.755 LCL = 18.642
d. UCL = 21.814 LCL = 19.300


Answers

Answer:

a. UCL = 22.664 LCL = 18.556

Explanation:

The sample mean for the given data is :

( 23 + 20 + 19 + 20 + 21 ) / 5 = 20.6

Upper control limit is :

Sample mean + standard deviation  

20.6 + 2  = 22.6

Lower Control Limit is :

Sample mean - Standard Deviation

20.6 - 2 = 18.6

Chilton budgeted 0.3 machine hours per lamp and allocates overhead at a rate of $1.90 per machine hour. Last year Chilton manufactured 19,000 lamps, used 7,600 machine hours and incurred actual overhead costs of $12,920. What was​ Chilton's variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance last​ year?
A. ​$9,660 favorable
B. ​$4,140 unfavorable
C. ​$4,140 favorable
D. ​$9,660 unfavorable

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the above information, we can compute variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance to be;

= (SA - AQ) × SR

Where

Standard quantity = SQ = 19,000

Actual Quantity = AQ = 7,600

Standard Rate = SR = $1.9

Variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance

= [(19,000 × 0.3) - 7,600] × $1.9

= (5,700 - 7,600) × $1.9

= $3,610 U

During the year, Walt who is self-employed travels from Seattle to Tokyo, Japan, on business. His time was spent as follows: two days travel (one day each way), two days business, and two days personal. His expenses for the trip were as follows (meals and lodging reflect only the business portion): Airfare $3,000 Lodging 2,000 Meals 1,000 Presuming no reimbursement, Walt's deductible expenses are: a.$3,500. b.$6,000. c.$4,500. d.$5,500.

Answers

Answer:

d.$5,500.

Explanation:

The computation of the deductible expense is shown below:

= Airfare + lodging + 50% of meals

= $3,000 + $2,000 + 50% of $1,000

= $3,000 + $2,000 + $500

= $5,500

hence, the deductible expense is $5,500

Here we take 100% of airfare &  lodging but we took 50% for the meals

hence, the option d is correct

2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)

Division A = $40,800

Division B = $0

Division C = ($110,700)

3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.

Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Carol sells her stock on December 31 for $8,000. Because Burgundy’s stock is listed on a national exchange, Dave can ascertain that his shares are worth $8,000 on December 31. Does the Federal income tax law treat the decline in value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.

Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.

With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.

Third year depreciation rate for a MACRS-GDS property class of 7 years from the MACRS-GDS table = 17.49%

MACRS-GDS depreciation in the 3rd year = $700,000 * 17.49% = $122,430

Therefore, The amount of the MACRS-GDS depreciation taken in the 3rd year is $122,430.

Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________

a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.

Answers

Answer:

a. 20250

Explanation:

Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares

Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]

Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]

Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750

Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.

Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250

Leto Company manufactures a certain type of alloy. The alloy undergoes a hardening process. The hardening unit is operating at full capacity and is a production constraint. The unit contribution margin and the number of hours of hardening treatment used by the alloy are as follows: Unit selling price$96.80 Unit variable cost(23.50) Unit contribution margin$73.30 Hardening treatment hours per unit5 hrs. Assuming Leto produces 2,300 units of the alloy, calculate the unit contribution margin per production constraint hour.

Answers

Answer:

Leto Company

The unit contribution margin per production constraint hour is:

= $0.00637.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Unit selling price =              $96.80

Unit variable cost =              (23.50)

Unit contribution margin = $73.30

Hardening treatment hours per unit = 5 hours

Units of alloy produced = 2,300

Total hours spent on hardening treatment = 11,500 (5 * 2,300)

Contribution margin per production constraint hour = Unit contribution margin/Total hours spent on hardening treatment

= $0.00637 ($73.30/11,500)

b) The unit contribution margin per production constraint hour shows the contribution margin that is made per unit of the production constraint.  The production constraint is the limited input resources that are available for production.  It is a product of the units of the alloy that Leto produces and the number of hours required to produce one unit.

Florida Seaside Oil Exploration Company is deciding whether to drill for oil off the northeast coast of Florida. The company estimates that the project would cost $4.24 million today. The firm estimates that once drilled, the oil will generate positive cash flows of $2.12 million a year at the end of each of the next four years. While the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, it recognizes that if it waits two years, it would have more information about the local geology as well as the price of oil. Florida Seaside estimates that if it waits two years, the project would cost $4.59 million. Moreover, if it waits two years, there is a 85% chance that the cash flows would be $2.306 million a year for four years, and there is a 15% chance that the cash flows will be $0.705 million a year for four years. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at a 8% WACC. Will the company delay the project and wait until they have more information

Answers

Answer:

The company will invest now and not delay

Explanation:

In order to determine the better option, we have to determine the Net present value of each of the option.

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

The option with the higher NPV would be chosen  

First option

Cash flow in year 0 = $-4.24 million

Cash flow in year 1 = $2.12 million

Cash flow in year 2 = $2.12 million

Cash flow in year 3 = $2.12 million

Cash flow in year 4 = $2.12 million

I = 8%

NPV = 2.78 million

Second option

NPV of the cash flow with $2.306 million a year for four years

Cash flow in year 0 = 0

Cash flow in year 1 = 0  

Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.

Cash flow in year 3 = $2.306

Cash flow in year 4 = $2.306 million

Cash flow in year 5 = $2.306 million

Cash flow in year 6 = $2.306 million

I = 8

NPV = $2.61 million

NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 0 = 0

Cash flow in year 1 = 0

Cash flow in year 2 = $-4.59 million.

Cash flow in year 3 = $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 4 = $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 5 = $0.705 million

Cash flow in year 6 = $0.705 million

I = 8 %

NPV = -1.93 million

NPV of the second option = (0.85 x $2.61 million) + (0.15 x 0) = $2.22 million

The NPV when cash flows would be $0.705 million is zero because the NPV is negative and thus would not be undertaken.

The company will invest now and not delay because the NPV of not waiting is greater than the NPV of delaying

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute  

Ingraham Inc. currently has $820,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding (DSO) is 54 days. It wants to reduce its DSO to 35 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. If this policy is adopted, the company's average sales will fall by 15%. What will be the level of accounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.

Answers

Answer: 451759.29

Explanation:

To solve the question, we need to calculate the current sales. This will be calculated by using the formula:

DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales

54 = 820000 × 365 / Sales

Sales = 820000 × 365 / 54

Sales = 5542593

After the new policy, the expected sales will be:

= 5542593 × (1 - 15%)

= 5542593 × (1 - 0.15)

= 5542593 × 0.85

= 4711204.5

The level of accounts receivable following the change will be:

DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales

35 = Account receivable × 365 / 4711204.5

Account receivable = 35 × 4711204.5 / 365

Account receivable = 451759.29

Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000 (26,000 units), actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance.)

Answers

Answer: Check attachment

Explanation:

The flexible budget performance report for the year has been solved and attached.

Note that the selling price per unit was calculated as:

= 400,000 /20,000

= $20 per unit

Therefore, total sales was gotten as:

= 26000 × $20

= $520,000

Variable cost per unit was calculated as:

= 80,000/20,000

= $4 per unit

Then, total cost was:

= $4 × 26,000

= $104,000

Factory Overhead Volume Variance Dvorak Company produced 5,100 units of product that required 3.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.50 per hour at 18,750 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answers

Answer:

$2,250 Favourable

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50 × [18,750 hrs. – (5,100 units × 3.5 hrs.)]

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×[18,750 hrs. – 17,850 hrs]

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×900

Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2,250 Favourable

Therefore the fixed factory overhead volume variance will be $2,250 Favourable

Jefferson Inc. (JI) is a relatively new company that wants to improve its employee rewards, compensation, and benefits. The company understands that there are effective reward systems that will motivate employees. However, JI management is not sure which would be the best for the company. Compensation, another important area, must also be improved so that it will satisfy all employees effectively. In addition, the company wants to create benefits to keep the employees not just satisfied, but also motivated. Yet another pressing issue is deciding on the training methods that are to be used to successfully teach the new employees.

JI believes that it will be on the right path if all of these changes can be successfully accomplished.

Martha is looking into investing a portion of her recent bonus into the stock market. While researching different companies, she discovers the following standard deviations of one year of daily stock closing prices. Handy Prosthetics: Standard deviation of stock prices =$1.05 El Lobo Malo Incorporated: Standard deviation of stock prices =$9.82 Based on the data and assuming these trends continue, which company would give Martha a stable long-term investment?

Answers

Answer:

Martha

Based on the data and assuming these trends continue,

Investment in Handy Prosthetics is preferred as it would give Martha a stable long-term investment.

Explanation:

a) Data:

                                                          Handy         El Lobo Malo

                                                       Prosthetics    Incorporated

Standard deviation of stock prices = $1.05            $9.82

b) The above standard deviations measure the spread of the stock prices over their daily stock closing prices in one year.  The Handy Prosthetics' stock does not fluctuate as much as the El Lobo Malo's stock.  This reduced fluctuation in prices makes it a more stable investment than El Lobo Malo's stock.  Therefore, Martha should prefer the Handy's stock to the El Lobo Malo's stock.
