Answer:
27.78%
Explanation:
Missing word "The production facility operates strictly eight hours per day. 5 people work daily in the plant."
In the earlier scenario, furniture maker manufactured 77 (72 non defective) pieces per 5 laborers working 8 hours day. Thus, the productivity in terms of units per labor hour is:
= 72 / 5*8
= 72 / 40
= 1.8
Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:
= 92 / 5*8
= 92 / 40
= 2.3
Thus, change in productivity would be calculated as:
= (2.3 - 1.8)/1.8
= 0.27777778
= 27.78%
The productivity of non defective parts would increase by 27.78%

Work in process inventory was $13,300 at January 1 and $17,200 at December 31. Finished goods inventory was $68,800 at January 1 and $47,900 at December 31.
Required:
a. Compute cost of goods manufactured.
b. Compute cost of goods sold.
Answer:
a. $352,200
b. $372,100
Explanation:
The cost of goods manufactured
Consider only the manufacturing costs
Cost of goods manufactured = $122,200 + $69,200 + $17,600 + $113,100 + $34,000 + $13,300 - $17,200
=$352,200
Cost of goods sold
Add Cost of goods manufactured to the net of Finished inventory balance
Cost of goods sold = $47,900 $68,800 + $352,200 - $47,900
= $372,100
The dictator of Turan has recently begun to arbitrarily seize farms belonging to his political opponents, and he has given the farms to his friends. His friends don't know much about farming.

For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that cost $60 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 720 units at $63 each and 355 units at $65 each. Crane Company also sold 1200 units during the month. Using the FIFO method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for the month? $72000. $75935. $74145. $75024.
Answer:
COGS= $74,145
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 485 units that cost $60 each.
Purchases:
720 units at $63 each
355 units at $65 each.
Units sold= 1,200
To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS) under the FIFO (first-in, first-out), we need to use the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 485*60 + 715*63
COGS= $74,145
A building with an appraisal value of $136,787 is made available at an offer price of $157,859. The purchaser acquires the property for $34,148 in cash, a 90-day note payable for $27,610, and a mortgage amounting to $58,126. The cost basis recorded in the buyer's accounting records to recognize this purchase is
Answer:
the cost basis recorded to recognize this purchase is $119,884
Explanation:
The computation of the cost basis recorded to recognize this purchase is shown below:
= Acquired property in cash + note payable + mortgage
= $34,148 + $27,610 + $58,126
= $119,884
Hence, the cost basis recorded to recognize this purchase is $119,884
When the government imposes an excise tax in a market with a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve: _________.
a. consumer surplus falls, producer surplus falls, and a deadweight loss occurs.
b. consumer surplus falls.
c. producer surplus falls.
d. a deadweight loss occurs.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Tax is a compulsory sum levied on the price of goods and services. It increases the price of goods and services
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
If tax increases the price of the good, consumer surplus would reduce
For example, willingness to pay is $20, price before tax is $5 and price after tax is $10. consumer surplus becomes $10 when it was $15 initially
Tax reduces the amount that would be received by the seller. This reduces consumer surplus.
Deadweight loss is the decrease in quantity demanded as a result of tax. Because tax increases price, the quantity demanded would reduce
Kirtland Corporation uses a periodic inventory system. At the end of the annual accounting period, December 31, the accounting records for the most popular item in inventory showed the following: Transactions Units Unit Cost Beginning inventory, January 1 400 $3.00 Transactions During the year: a. Purchase, January 30 300 3.40 b. Purchase, May 1 460 4.00 c. Sale ($5 each) (160) d. Sale ($5 each) (700) Required: a. Compute the amount of goods available for sale.
Answer:
cost of goods available for sale= $4,060
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory, January 1: 400 $3.00
Purchase, January 30: 300 3.40
Purchase, May 1: 460 4.00
The cost of goods available for sale is the sum of the beginning inventory and the purchases of the period:
cost of goods available for sale= beginning inventory + purchase
cost of goods available for sale= 400*3 + 300*3.4 + 460*4
cost of goods available for sale= $4,060
Sarafiny Corporation is in the process of preparing its annual budget. The following beginning and ending inventory levels are planned for the year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Finished goods (units) 30,000 80,000 Raw material (grams) 60,000 50,000 Each unit of finished goods requires 3 grams of raw material. The company plans to sell 770,000 units during the year. How much of the raw material should the company purchase during the year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Raw materials purchased is computed as;
Raw material purchase = Ending inventory + required for production - beginning inventory
= 50,000 + ((80,000 + 770,000 - 30,000) × 3) - 60,000
= 50,000 + 2,460,000 - 60,000
= 2,450,000 grams

Stewart Marketing Inc. manufactures two products, A and B. Presently, the company uses a single plant-wide factory overhead rate for allocating overhead to products. However, management is considering moving to a multiple department rate system for allocating overhead. From the following information, using a single plant-wide rate, determine the overhead rate per unit for Product A:
Overhead Direct Labor Product
Hours (dlh) A B
Painting Dept. $248,000 10,000 dlh 16 dlh 4 dlh
Finishing Dept. 72,000 10,000 4 16
Totals $320,000 20,000 dlh 20 dlh 20 dlh
======== ========== ====== ======
a. $496.00 per unit
b. $320.00 per unit
c. $144.00 per unit
d. $640.00 per unit
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $320
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead Direct Labor Product
Hours (dlh) A B
Painting Dept. $248,000 10,000 dlh 16 dlh 4 dlh
Finishing Dept. 72,000 10,000 4 16
Totals $320,000 20,000 dlh 20 dlh 20 dlh
First, we need to calculate the plantwide overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 320,000 / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $16 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 16*20
Allocated MOH= $320
Santa Monica adopted a rent control ordinance authorizing the Rent Control Board to set the amount of rents that could be charged. At a hearing before it, the board determined that McHugh was charging his tenants a rent higher than the maximum allowed. McHugh claimed that the action of the board was improper because there was no jury trial. Is McHugh correct
Answer:
No. McHugh is not correct.
Explanation:
A jury trial is not necessarily required in all cases. The Board is like a panel of judges who decide a case after preliminary investigations have been conducted and the facts established. Moreover, the case is a civil matter and not a criminal issue that would require the presence of a jury. It is not improper for a legally constituted board to hear a civil disobedience case and render a verdict, according to established rules.

The best fit Given by a linear model for the data is:
ŷ = 47.07049X + 4435.08375
Average Revenue for 120 hours, X
ŷ = 47.07049(120) + 4435.08375
ŷ = 10083.54255 = 10084
A non-linear model which could be used is a logarithmic model:
General form of a Logarithmic model : y=A+Bln(x)
Equation of best fit :
y = - 9964.5212 + 4251.34435In(x)
Average Revenue for 120 hours, X
y = - 9964.5212 + 4251.34435In(120)
y = - 9964.5212 + 20353.275
y = 10388.754 = 10389
Using the correlation Coefficient value :
Linear mode = 0.8731
Logarithmic model = 0.9084
The logarithmic model is preferred as it has a greater correlation Coefficient value Than the linear model.
Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:
Sales (350,000 units) $4,375,000
Cost of goods sold 2,600,000
Gross profit 1,775,000
Operating expenses 840,000
Net income $ 935,000
Cost of goods sold was 70% variable and 30% fixed; operating expenses were 80% variable and 20% fixed. In September, Moonbeam receives a special order for 15,000 toasters at $7.60 each from Luna Company. Acceptance of the order would result in an additional $3,000 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed costs.
Instructions
a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order.
b. Should Moonbeam accept the special order?

The quota rent is the: A. difference between the demand price and the supply price at the quota limit. B. minimum rent that the owner of a building must receive before he or she is willing to rent out the building. C. opportunity cost of using a quota-controlled service or of buying a good that is subject to an import quota. D. rent received by landlords who own rent-controlled apartments.
Answer:
A. difference between the demand price and the supply price at the quota limit.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
A quota rent can be defined as the economic rent that is typically being received by the owner of the imported goods subjected to quota.
The quota rent is the difference between the demand price and the supply price at the quota limit.
A sales manager, Dev, is facing an ethical situation wherein his bicycle company that specializes in mountain bikes sold a bicycle with a defective component. If he informs the customer and issues a recall, it would cost him a substantial amount of money. If the bike malfunctions, there is a very small chance that it could cause serious injury to a cyclist who might use it on rough terrain. He decides to use the egoism approach to decision making and remain silent about the defect, because he:________.
A) is motivated by self-interest.
B) is looking to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
C) wants to first consult with his insurer.
D) is motivated to protect the interests of his employees.
E) wants to first consult with others whom he respects.
Answer:
A) is motivated by self-interest.
Explanation:
He decides to use the egoism approach to decision making and remain silent about the defect, because he is motivated by self-interest.
Self-interest refers to some actions that elicit personal benefit.
The egoist approach to ethics is based on the principles of self-interest, individual good, and satisfaction.
Therefore the correct answer is that sales manager, Dev is motivated by self-interest.
Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $54,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 10 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 9.4 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 4 percent per year throughout your career. How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 45 years from today
Answer:
I will have $5,319,216.16 on the date of retiremnet.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the amount of deposit
Amount of annual deposit = Annual salary x Deposit rate
Amount of annual deposit = $54,000 x 10%
Amount of annual deposit = $5,400
Now use the following formula to calculate the balance in the account after 45 years from today
Future value of annuity = [ Periodic Annuity payment x ( 1 + growth rate ) / ( Interst rate - growth rate ) ] x [ ( 1 + interest rate )^numbers ofyears - ( 1 + growth rate )^numbers of years ]
Where
Periodic Annuity payment = Amount of annual deposit = $5,400
Periodic interest rate = 9.4%
Periodic growth rate = 4%
Numbers of years = 45 years
Future value of annuity = Balance after 45 years = ?
Placing values in the formula
Balance after 45 years = [ $5,400 x ( 1 + 4% ) / ( 9.4% - 4% ) ] x [ ( 1 + 9.4% )^45 - ( 1 + 4% )^45 ]
Balance after 45 years = [ $5,616 / 5.4% ] x [ ( 1.094^45 ) - ( 1.04^45) ]
Balance after 45 years = $104,000 x [ 56.987484867 - 5.841175681 ]
Balance after 45 years = $104,000 x 51.146309186
Balance after 45 years = $5,319,216.155344
Balance after 45 years = $5,319,216.16
ims Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Assembly Department started the month with 5,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. An additional 68,500 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 33,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month
Answer:
60,300
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month
Conversion
Units transferred to the next department 40,500
(5,000 + 68,500 - 33,000 )
Add Ending work in process 19,800
Conversion: (33,000 units × 60%)
Equivalent units of production 60,300
(40,500+19,800)
Therefore the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month is 60,300
You invest $1,000 in a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 0.17 and a standard deviation of 0.40 and a T-bill with a rate of return of 0.04. What percentages of your money must be invested in the risk-free asset and the risky asset, respectively, to form a portfolio with a standard deviation of 0.20
Answer:
50%, 50%
Explanation:
% of money invested in risky asset = Portfolio standard deviation/Standard deviation of risky asset
% of money invested in risky asset = 0.20/0.40
% of money invested in risky asset = 50.00%
% of money invested in risk free asset = 1 - 50.00%
% of money invested in risk free asset = 50.00%
Assume a market is currently at the equilibrium price and quantity, and a price ceiling is set below equilibrium price. Which of the following statements is true:
Select the correct answer below:
A. The quantity demanded will rise and the quantity supplied will fall, causing a shortage.
B. There is nothing causing the price to fall from the equilibrium level.
C. There is nothing preventing the price from rising to its equilibrium level.
D. The quantity supplied will rise and the quantity demanded will fall, causing a surplus.
Answer:
Option A: The quantity demanded will rise and the quantity supplied will fall, causing a shortage.
Explanation:
Price ceilings helps to hinder a price from rising above a known level. The assumption under it is that if a price ceiling is fixed (set) below the equilibrium price of the goods, this will definitely lead to quantity demanded exceeding quantity supplied. And when this happens, the result will be excess demand or shortages will come about. The use of Price floors hinders a price from going down below a certain level.
Suppose you are deciding whether you should go to college. If you go to college, you will pay $10,000 total in tuition, textbooks, and room and board every year for 4 years, with the first payment being made immediately and then the next three payments 1 year apart. Upon graduating, you expect to get a job earning $50,000 per year for the next 40 years. Assume that your first paycheck arrives exactly 1 year after you start working and you continue getting paid annually thereafter. Also assume that there are no raises in that particular field. If you do not go to college, you can start working immediately. The pay, however, is lower. You would expect to work for 44 years and earn $34,000 per year, with your first paycheck arriving exactly 1 year from now, and you continue getting paid annually thereafter. For the questions below, round all numbers to two decimals. See Hint Part 1 (1 point) Assume the interest rate is 7%. If you were to attend college, the present value of your tuition payments would total $ See Hint (1 point) Part 2 Suppose you go to college and graduate after 4 years. Because you will work for 40 years after you graduate, and because 40 years is a long time, treating the stream of payments as a perpetuity will provide a reasonable approximation of the present value of the payment stream. The present value of your annual earnings of $50,000 as a college graduate is $ See Hint (1 point) Part 3 The net present value of going to college is $ See Hint (1 point) Part 4 If you do not go to college, you will be working even longer than before. Once again, you may treat the stream of income from your job as a consol or perpetuity. The present value of your annual earnings of $34,000 if you don't go to college is ______$
Answer:
Part 1
Present value of tuition payments:
= 10,000 + (10,000 / (1 + 7%)) + (10,000 / 1.07²) + (10,000 + 1.07³)
= $36,243.16
Part 2
This is a deferred perpetuity because you only start getting paid when you start work 4 years later:
Present value of deferred perpetuity:
= Amount / Discount rate ( 1 / (1 + discount rate)^n
= 50,000 / 0.07 * (1 / 1.07)⁴
= $544,925.15
Part 3
Net present value of going to college:
= Present value of salary - cost of college
= 544,925.15 - 36,243.16
= $508,681.99
Part 4
This is not a deferred perpetuity so your present value is:
= Amount/ discount rate
= 34,000 / 0.07
= $485,714.29
The Molding Division of Cotwold Company manufactures a plastic casing used by the Assembly Division. This casing is also sold to external customers for $27 per unit. Variable costs for the casing are $14 per unit and fixed cost is $3 per unit. Cotwold executives would like for the Molding Division to transfer 10,000 units to the Assembly Division at a price of $19 per unit. Assume the Molding Division is operating at full capacity. Required: 1. Should it accept the transfer price proposed by management
Answer:
Cotwold Company
The Molding Division
The Molding Division should not accept the transfer price proposed by management. It is not reasonable and fair according to the rules for transfer pricing. However, the amount is above the marginal cost for the Molding Division.
Therefore, the division should exhaust opportunities for renegotiation of the transfer price. However, ultimately, management's decision will prevail.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of casing to external customers = $27 per unit
Variable costs for the casing = $14 per unit
Fixed cost for the casing = $3 per unit
Quantity to the Assembly Division = 10,000
Agreed transfer price = $19

Explanation:
Capital assets used by an enterprise fund should be accounted for in the a. Business-type activities journal but no depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded. b. Enterprise fund and depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded c. Governmental activities journal and depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded d. Enterprise fund but no depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded
Answer:
b. Enterprise fund and depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded.
Explanation:
Cash flow can be defined as the net amount of cash and cash- equivalents that is flowing into (received) and out (given) of a business. There are three components of the cash flow;
1. Operating cash flow: all cash generated from the business activities of an organization.
2. Financing cash flow: all payments made by an organization and profits from issuance of debts and equity.
3. Investing cash flow: costs associated with purchasing of capital assets and investments of cash resources in other businesses.
Capital assets used by an enterprise fund should be accounted for in the enterprise fund and depreciation on the capital assets should be recorded.
Additionally, depreciation can be defined as the reduction of cost of a fixed asset systematically until the value of the asset becomes zero.
The following December 31, 2021, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stonebridge Corporation:
Cash and cash equivalents $5,800
Accounts receivable (net) 28,000

Property, plant, and equipment (net) 160,000
Accounts payable 47,000
Salaries payable 19,000
Paid-in capital 140,000
The only asset not listed is short-term investments. The only liabilities not listed are $38,000 notes payable due in two years and related accrued interest of $1,000 due in four months. The current ratio at year-end is 1.6:1.
Required:
Determine the following at December 31, 2021:
1. Total current assets.
2. Short-term investments.
3. Retained earnings.
Answer and Explanation:
The calculations are given below:
1. Total current assets
we know that
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
where,
Current liabilities is
= Accounts payable + Accrued interest + Salaries payable
= $47,000 + $1,000 + $19,000
= $67,000
And,
Current ratio = 1.6:1
So,
Total current assets is
= 1.6 × $67,000
= $107,200
b. Short term investment is
Short term investment = Total current assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts receivables - Inventories
= $107,200 - ($5,800 + $28,000 + $68,000)
= $5,400
c. Now retained earning is
Total assets
= Total current assets + Property, plant and equipment
= $107,200 + $160,000
= $267,200
Total liabilities is
= Current liabilities + Notes payable
= $67,000 + $38,000
= $105,000
Now Retained earnings is
= Total assets - Total liabilities - Paid in capital
= $267,200 - $105,000 - $140,000
= $22,200
