Explanation:
Calculation to allocate these service department costs to the operating departments Using the direct method
Particulars Allocation Basis Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Cost as per primary data
$4,000 $14,000 $15,900 $12,600
SERVICE DEPARTMENT COSTS:
Maintenance allocation (S)
$0 $0 $1,000 $3,000
Personnel allocation (S)
$0 $0 $2,800 $11,200
Total Costs Allocated
$0 $0 $19,700 $26,800
Computation for the allocation of costs:
Maintenance = $4,000 *1,800/(1,800+5,400)
Maintenance = $4,000 *1,800/7,200
Maintenance =$1,000
Personnel = $14,000 *650/650+2,600
Personnel=$14,000 *650/3,250
Personnel=$2,800
Maintenance = $4,000 *5,400/(1,800+5,400)
Maintenance = $4,000 *5,400/7,200
Maintenance = $3,000
Personnel = $14,000 *2,600/650+2,600
Personnel = $14,000 *2,600/3,250
Personnel = $11,200
Therefore allocation of these service department costs to the operating departments Using the direct method will be :
Maintenance $0
Personnel $0
Printing $19,700

In a culture with strong business and family ties which of the following is NOT true:
a) Several members of a family may work in the same business.
b) Family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business.
c) Protecting a family member is sometimes more important than a good business
d) decision.
Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Answer: Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Explanation:
In a culture with strong business and family ties, we should note that several members of the family may work in the same business.
Also, the family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business. This is to ensure that the family members have a say in the affairs of the company. The family members are protected as well.
The option that isn't true is that families and their businesses are very mobile. This isn't true. The business is of importance and the family members aren't usually mobile.

When the price level falls, the number of dollars needed to buy a representative basket of goods Group of answer choices decreases, so the value of money rises. increases, so the value of money rises. increases, so the value of money falls. decreases, so the value of money falls.
Answer:
decreases, so the value of money rises
Explanation:
Let us assume the starting price level is $100 so here the amount that need to pay is $100 now the price level falls to $50 so again the amount that should be paid is $50 so as we can see that if there is any fall in the price level so the number of dollar would be decreased therefore the value of the money would be increased
When the price level is 50 so the consumer purchased two things
Hence, the first option is correct

Bentley Enterprises uses process costing to control costs in the manufacture of Dust Sensors for the mining industry. The following information pertains to operations for November. (CMA Exam adapted) Units Work in process, November 1st 16,300 Started in production during November 100,600 Work in process, November 30th 24,600 The beginning inventory was 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. The ending inventory was 90% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Costs pertaining to November are as follows: Beginning inventory: direct materials, $55,160; direct labor, $20,620; manufacturing overhead, $15,540. Costs incurred during the month: direct materials, $470,970; direct labor, $190,740; manufacturing overhead, $399,080. What are the total costs in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing
Answer:
$146,443.80
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent Units of Production
FIFO method is interested with Units worked on during the Production Period. Therefore make sure you begin by finishing Opening Work in Process Units.
1. Materials
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 40%) 6,520
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 90%) 22,140
Equivalent units of Production 112,960
2. Conversion Cost
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 80%) 13,040
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 40%) 9,840
Equivalent units of Production 107,180
Step 2 : Cost per equivalent unit
FIFO method is only interested in Costs incurred during the Production Period, therefore Cost in Beginning Inventory must be ignored as these were accounted for in previous year.
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
Materials = $470,970 ÷ 112,960 = $4.17
Conversion Costs = ($190,740 + $399,080) ÷ 107,180 = $5.50
Step 3 : Cost in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory
Work-in-Process Inventory = Material Cost + Conversion Cost
= 22,140 x $4.17 + 9,840 x $5.50
= $146,443.80
Conclusion :
The total costs in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing is $146,443.80
Julio produces two types of calculator, standard and deluxe. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver but is considering a move to activity-based costing. In preparing for the possible switch, Julio has identified two cost pools: materials handling and setup. The collected data follow:
Standard Model Deluxe Model
Number of machine hours 26,500 31,500
Number of material moves 625 925
Number of setups 85 575
Total estimated overhead costs are $313, 020, of which $183, 750 is assigned to the material handling cost pool and $179, 180 is assigned to the setup cost pool.
Required:
1. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using the traditional cost system.
2. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using ABC.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a)
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 313,020 / 58,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.4 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Standard= 5.4*26,500= $143,100
Deluxe= 5.4*31,500= $170,100
b)
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Material handling= 183,750 / 1,550= $118.55 per material moves
Setup= 179,180 / 660= $271.48 per setup
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Standard= 118.55*625 + 271.48*85= $97,169.55
Deluxe= 118.55*925 + 271.48*575= $265,759.75
The following information is available: Units in process, Dec. 1 (60 percent converted) 2,000 units Units in process, Dec. 31 (30 percent converted) 1,000 units Units started during the month 7,500 units Materials are added at the beginning of the process. How many equivalent units in process for conversion were there in December using the weighted average method? Group of answer choices
Answer:
the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent unit for conversion is shown below:
= Units transferred + ending units
= (2,000 + 7,500 - 1,000) × 100 units + 1,000 units ×30%
= 8,500 units + 300 units
= 8,800 units
Hence, the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units
We simply used the above formula for determining the conversion units
Excess reserves A. are loans made at above market interest rates. B. are the deposits that banks do not use to make loans. C. are reserves banks keep to meet the reserve requirement. D. are reserves banks keep above the legal requirement. Suppose the required reserve ratio is % and a bank has the following balance sheet: Assets Liabilities Reserves $ Deposits $ Loans $ This bank keeps required reserves of $ nothing and excess reserves of $ nothing. (Enter your responses as integers.)
Answer and Explanation:
The excess reserves are the reserves banks that maintain more the legal requirement. It shows the difference between the required reserve and the actual reserve
Hence, the last option is correct
Now the required reserve is
= ($11,000 × 11%)
= $1,210
And, the excess reserve is
= $2,200 - $1,210
= $990
Hence, the same would be relevant
Cora purchased a hotel building on May 17, 2020, for $3,000,000. Determine the cost recovery deduction for 2021. a.$76,920 b.$69,000 c.$48,150 d.$59,520
Answer: $76920
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the hotel building is simply non residential and then qualifies to be part of 39 year property.
Then, the cost of recovery will be:
= 1/39 × Cost of the hotel
= 1/39 × $3,000,000
= $76,920
Therefore, the cost recovery deduction for 2021 is $76,920

The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $378,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 900 direct labor-hours. The following transactions took place during the year (all purchases and services were acquired on account): a. Raw materials purchased for use in production, $285,000. b. Raw materials requisitioned for use in production (all direct materials), $270,000. c. Utility bills were incurred, $76,000 (85% related to factory operations, and the remainder related to selling and administrative activities). d. Salary and wage costs were incurred:
Answer:
journal entries:
raw materials 285,000 debit
Account Payable 285,000 credit
--to record purchase of materials--
Work in Process Inventory 270,000 debit
Raw Materials 270,000 credit
--to record use of direct materials--
Factory overhead 64,600 debit
Utilities Expense 11,400 debit
Utilities Payable 76,000 credit
--to record incurred utilities in plant and non-manufacturing departments--
Explanation:
We record the journal entries considering that debit = credit
(a) as the business didn't pay cash we use account payable account
(b) we transfer the used amount of materials into WIP inventory
(c) we calculate the proportional use for factory and non-manufacturing departments
76,000 x 85% = 64,600
76,000 x 15% = 11,400
“Employers should be concerned with helping employees cope with both job-related stress and off-the-job stress.” Do you agree or disagree? Discuss.
Answer:
Agreed.
Explanation:
I agree with employers helping employees cope with both job-related stress and off-the-job stress because it can help improve the employee's mental health. You see, if you are already stressed enough about work, then you won't really have time to focus on yourself which can oftentimes lead to su!c!de. I think that with the employer's help, they can reassure the employee and help them maintain themselves.

Suppose an American business owner purchases chocolates from Belgium in order to sell them in her shops. This would be entered as a ____________ item under the ___________________ section of the U.S. current account. Consider the goods and services balance. According to the table, the United States is running a trade ____________ .
The current account balance suggests that U.S. current account transactions (exports and imports of goods and services, as well as inflow and outflow of investment income and transfers) created outpayments of foreign currencies from the United States that were __________________the inpayments of foreign currencies to the United States.
Any surplus or deficit in one account must be offset by deficits or surpluses in other balance-of-payments accounts. Because the current account is in ____________ , the excess of foreign currency held by Americans must either be loaned to foreigners or used to buy foreign stocks or bonds. All of these transactions are then recorded in the _______________account. Since any imbalance in one account automatically leads to an equal, but opposite, imbalance in the other, the balance of payments is always _____________
Answer:
Debit
U.S. merchandise imports
Surplus
equal to
Surplus
current
zero
Explanation:
The trade deficit or surplus is based on the exports and imports of the country. When the imports are higher than exports then there will be trade deficit in the current account. In the given scenario the case is other way round, here imports are less than exports which suggests that there is a trade surplus which is offset by other accounts and balance of payment turn out to be zero.

An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $6,020,000 and will be sold for $1,220,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the aftertax salvage value of the asset
Answer:
The after-tax salvage value of the asset is:
= $793,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Asset acquisition cost = $6,020,000
Salvage value = $1,220,000
MACRS Depreciation Expenses = $4,800,000
Project useful life or project duration = 5 years
Tax rate = 35%
Tax expense = $427,000
After-tax salvage value = $793,000 ($1,220,000 - $427,000)
b) The salvage value of the project asset is the recovery or residual value after depreciation expenses have been recognized over the project asset's useful life. Depreciation is an accounting method of spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life. There are many depreciation methods, including straight-line, double-declining, unit-of-production, sum-of-the-years digits, etc.

What is the impact on the accounting equation when an accounts receivable is collected?
Bank of the Atlantic has liabilities of $4 million with an average maturity of two years paying interest rates of 4.0 percent annually. It has assets of $5 million with an average maturity of 5 years earning interest rates of 6.0 percent annually. What is the bank's net interest income for the current year
Answer:
the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000
Explanation:
The computation of the bank net interest income for the current year is shown below:
= (Interest earning assets × Interest rate earned)-(Interest bearing liabilities × Interest rate rate)
= $5,000,000 × 6% - $4,000,000 × 4%
=$300,000 - $160,000
= $140,000
Hence, the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000
Sales revenue
may be recorded before cash is collected.
will always equal cash collections in a month.
only results from credit sales.
is only recorded after cash is collected.
Answer:
may be recorded before cash is collected.
Explanation:
Sales revenue "may be recorded before cash is collected."
This is according to Accrual accounting, which unlike the cash model that requires payments to be made before sales revenue is recorded.
In the Accrual accounting model, sales revenue recording is not based on cash collection before it is recorded. Here, the revenue is recorded in as much the transferred goods are made and collection of payment is determined or expected.
Which of the following arguments can be used to correctly defend the WTO’s position on retaliatory tariffs? Check all that apply. A countervailing duty protects import-competing producers. Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition. Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Answer:
The arguments that can be used to correctly defend the WTO's position on retaliatory tariffs are:
Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition.
Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Explanation:
A government can impose anti-dumping duties on certain imports when it believes that the prices of the imports are below their fair market values. Truly, some exports have been found to export goods at prices significantly below their domestic market prices. Dumping shows that the export prices may even be below their production costs.

For safety purposes, a circus requires that all employees who perform acrobatic stunts weigh between 120 and 140 pounds. Today, Vivian, a long-time acrobat for the circus steps on a scale for a weight-check. The scale says that she weighs 114 pounds and thus is not within the required 120-140 pound range. Vivian is surprised and upset and asks to be re-weighed. When she steps on the scale again, it says she weighs 114 pounds. When Vivian checks her weight a third time, the scale again says she weighs 114 pounds. Which of the following statements most accurately describes the reliability and validity of the scale?
a. High reliability and high validity
b. Unknown reliability and low validity
c. Low reliability and high validity
d. High reliability and unknown validity
Answer:
The statement that most accurately describes the reliability and validity of the scale is:
a. High reliability and high validity
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Standard acrobatic stunts' weights = 120 and 140 pounds range
Vivian's weight-check results = 114 three times
b) Reliability entails the consistency of a measure for getting the same result after every measurement. Validity denotes the accuracy of a measure, especially since the measurement obtained is what it is supposed to measure. Therefore, tests that are highly reliable are said to be highly valid and vice versa.
Since 1970, Super Rise, Inc., has provided maintenance services for elevators. On January 1, 2016, Super Rise obtains a contract to maintain an elevator in a 90-story building in New York City for 10 months and receives a fixed payment of $95,000.
The contract specifies that Super Rise will receive an additional $47,500 at the end of the 10 months if there is no unexpected delay, stoppage, or accident during the year.
Super Rise estimates variable consideration to be the most likely amount it will receive.
Required:
1. Assume that, because the building sees a constant flux of people throughout the day, Super Rise is allowed to access the elevators and related mechanical equipment only between 3am and 5am on any given day, which is insufficient to perform some of the more time-consuming repair work. As a result, Super Rise believes that unexpected delays are likely and that it will not earn the bonus. Prepare the journal entry Super Rise would record on January 1. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, record "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
2. Assume instead that Super Rise knows at the inception of the contract that it will be given unlimited access to the elevators and related equipment each day, with the right to schedule repair sessions any time. When given these terms and conditions, Super Rise has never had any delays or accidents in the past. Prepare the journal entry Super Rise would record on January 31 to record one month of revenue.(If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Record any necessary entry on January 31 to record one month of revenue
3. Assume the same facts as requirement 1. In addition assume that, on May 31, Super Rise determines that it does not need to spend more than two hours on any given day to operate the elevator safely because the client’s elevator is relatively new. Therefore, Super Rise believes that unexpected delays are very unlikely. Prepare the journal entry Super Rise would record on May 31 to recognize May revenue and any necessary revision in its estimated bonus receivable. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Record any necessary entry on May 31 to recognize May revenue and any necessary revision in its estimated bonus receivable.

is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 3100 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 44. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed
Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share
= $100
Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.
Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433
Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400
= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100
= 30.1%

Approximately what is the expected dollar rate of return on euro deposits if today's exchange rate is $1.18 per euro, next year's expected exchange rate is $1.10 per euro, and the euro interest rate is 5%?
Answer:
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%
Explanation:
The expected dollar rate would be the dollar equivalent of the future value of the Euro deposit converted at the exchange rate applicable in a years time .
The following steps would suffice
Step 1: Future value of 1 Euro
Future value of 1 Euro at 5% p.a = 1.05 Euro
Step 2: Dollar equivalent of the Euro future value
The Dollar equivalent of 1.05 Euro = 1.05× 1.10=1.155
Step 3: The Dollar rate of return
Dollar rate of return = Future value of deposit($)/initial deposit - 1
= (1.155/1) - 1 × 100
= 15.5%
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%
