Answer:
12,000 units
outside supplier offers at $27.40 each = $328,800
current relevant costs:
direct materials $7.20 x 12,000 = $86,400direct labor $7.10 x 12,000 = $85,200variable overhead $3.50 x 12,000 = $42,000 supervisor's salary $4.70 x 12,000 = $56,400total = $270,000only $6,000 of allocated fixed costs can be avoided
additional revenue from using the freed space $29,000
A. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company's total net operating income of buying part B76 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
Keep Buy Differential
producing from vendor amount
production cost $270,000 $0 $270,000
purchase cost $0 $328,800 ($328,800)
avoidable costs $0 ($6,000) $6,000
additional revenue $0 ($29,000) $29,000
total $270,000 $293,800 ($23,800)
B. Identify which alternative the company should choose and explain why.
The company should keep producing the part because production costs are lower than buying it from an outside vendor.
C. Determine what errors managers may make when considering make or buy decisions and basing the decision solely on the data?
If we had made this decision based on total production costs, then management would have erroneously chosen to purchase the part from an outside vendor. Total production costs are $28.30 per unit, but almost $5.80 per unit are not avoidable (mostly fixed and general overhead), so the company will incur them no matter what. You have to compare only relevant costs or revenues.
Interest During Construction Dexter Construction Corporation is building a student condominium complex; it started construction on January 1, Year 1. Dexter borrowed $1 million specifically for the project by issuing a 10%, 5-year, $1 million note, which is payable on December 31 of Year 3. Dexter also had a 12%, 5-year, $3 million note payable and a 10%, 10-year, $1.8 million note payable outstanding all year. In Year 1, Dexter incurred costs as follows: January 1 $280,000 March 1 600,000 June 30 1,000,000 November 1 480,000 Calculate Dexter's capitalized interest on the student condominium complex for Year 1. Capitalized interest
Answer:
$140,500
Explanation:
first we must calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditures:
incurred costs as follows:
January 1: $280,000 x 12/12 = $280,000
March 1: $600,000 x 10/12 = $500,000
June 30: $1,000,000 x 6/12 = $500,000
November 1: $480,000 x 2/12 = $80,000
total = $1,360,000
now we must calculate the weighted average interest rate on the non construction debt:
12% x $3 million = $360,000
10% x $1.8 million = $180,000
total = $540,000 / ($3,000,000 + $1,800,000) = 11.25%
capitalized interest:
$1,000,000 x 10% (specific construction debt) = $100,000
$360,000 x 11.25% (non construction debt) = $40,500
total $140,500
Concord Corporation had a 1/1/20 balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $36500. During 2020, it wrote off $30500 of accounts and collected $8600 on accounts previously written off. The balance in Accounts Receivable was $780000 at 1/1 and $940000 at 12/31. At 12/31/20, Concord estimates that 5% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. What should Concord report as its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20
Answer:
$32,400
Explanation:
According to the situation for computation of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20 first we need to find out the actual balance which is shown below:-
Actual balance = Beginning Balance of Allowance + Amount reinstated - Amount written off + Uncollectible account expenses
= $36,500 + $8,600 - $30,500
= $14,600
Ending balance of Allowance = Balance of accounts receivables × Accounts receivable percentage at 12/31 - Actual balance
= $940,000 × 5% - $14,600
= $47,000 - $14,600
= $32,400
Therefore for reaching the ending balance of allowance we simply applied the above formula.
You are upgrading to better production equipment for your firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time. Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by 16 % over the current amount of 102 comma 000 units. If your sales price is $ 19 per unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade?
Answer:
$310,080
Explanation:
Incremental revenue refers to the additional revenue generated by a certain project or activity. In this case, your sales should increase by 16% from 102,000 units to 118,320 units. Total revenue will increase from $1,938,000 (= 102,000 x $19) to $2,248,080 (= 118,320 x $19).
The incremental revenue = $2,248,080 - $1,938,000 = $310,080

Kevin bought 265 shares of Intel stock on January 1, 2019, for $76 per share, with a brokerage fee of $165. Then, Kevin sells all 265 shares for $88 per share on December 12, 2019. The brokerage fee on the sale was $215. What is the amount of the gain/loss Kevin must report on his 2019 tax return
Answer:
$2800
Explanation:
To find the Gain or loss on the sell of shares we jus need to deduct cost of purchasing and brokerage fee from sale proceeds
12 DECEMBER 2019
Gain/loss = Sales proceeds- Total Cost to purchase - Cost to sell
Gain/loss= ($88 x 265) - $20,305 - $215
Gain/loss= $23,320 - $20,305 - $215
Gain/loss= $2800
WORKINGS
Purchase 1 Jan 2019
265shares x $76per share = $20,140
Total cost to purchase = $20,140 + $165(brokerage fee)
Total cost to purchase = $20,305
Cost to sell = $215(brokerage fee)
Cullumber Company issues $3.40 million, 20-year, 9% bonds at 98, with interest payable on December 31. The straight-line method is used to amortize bond discount. Collapse question part (a) Partially correct answer.
Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of these bonds on January 1, 2017. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.) Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit Jan. 1 Entry field with correct answer
Answer:
Dr cash $3,332,000
Dr discount on bonds payable $68,000
Cr bonds payable $3,400,000
Explanation:
The cash proceeds from the bond issuance is 98% of the face value.
Cash proceeds=$3,400,000*98%=$3,332,000.00
This meant that the bond was issued at a discount of $ 68,000.00 ($3,400,000-$3,332,000).
In recording the bond issuance, the cash account is debited with the cash proceeds of $3,332,000 with the discount on bonds payable debited with $68,000 while bonds payable is credited with the face value of $3,400,000
Barton Chocolates used a promissory note to borrow $1,000,000 on July 1, 2018, at an annual interest rate of 6 percent. The note is to be repaid in yearly installments of $200,000, plus accrued interest, on June 30 of every year until the note is paid in full (on June 30, 2023). Show how the results of this transaction would be reported in a classified balance sheet prepared as of December 31, 2018. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Balance sheet for Barton Chocolates as at December 31,2018
Current liabilities 230,000
Non current liabilities 800,000
Workings.
Loan - $1,000,000
Loan date = July 1
Reporting date = December 31
Timeline = 6 months / 1/2 years
Yearly installment = $200,000
Interest payable = 6/100*1000000*1/2 = 30,000
Current liabilities are liabilities that are due for settlement within a year
Therefore the current liability portion = $200000+30000= $230,000
The non current liability is the balance of the principal loan amount = 1000000=200000= 800000
Which of the following are a type of overhead allocation method?
a. division overhead rate method.
b. activity-based costing method
c. departmental overhead rate method
d. plantwide overhead rate method
Answer:
b. activity-based costing method
c. departmental overhead rate method
d. plantwide overhead rate method
Explanation:
B. Activity based costing method allocates different cost pools or drivers to each overhead based on its level of activity or usage etc. For example if we want to find the cost of telephone calls we would find the number of total calls not number of days. Similarly if we want to calculate the wages we will find the number of hours not days etc.
C. Department overhead rate method allocates different rates to each department. For example the rates of the lubricating department may be different from the finishing department or polishing department etc.
D. Platwide Overhead rate method allocates a single rate to all the products. It is based on direct labor hours . And number of hours are used to allocate it to different products. For example the rate may be $1.5 per hour and it can be calculated for different products as product A requires 6 hours and product B requires 9 hours so the rate for Product A would be $ 9.0 and $ 12 for product B.
A.division overhead rate method. Theres no such overhead rate as division overhead rate method.
The plantwide overhead rate method. Thus the option D is correct.
What is the overhead allocations ?The overhead allocation refers to the rate of the cost allocations . The core components of the cost allocations is track the organization products and services. The business can identify the services that helps in managing the company's financial resources. It helps to allocate the cost to the business units.

Shop –N-Go Systems purchased cash registers on April 1 for $6,000. If this asset has an estimated useful life of four years, what is the netbook value of the cash registers on May 31 if the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer:
Depreciation= $250
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $6,000
Useful life= 4 years
Depreciation= straight-line
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= 6,000/4= 1,500
Now, the depreciation for two months:
Depreciation= (1,500/12)*2
Depreciation= $250
Winganon Company began 2020 with 6,500 units of its principal product. The cost of each unit is $8.25. Merchandise transactions for the month of January 2020 are as follows:

compute the number and total cost of unit available for sale in the year 2020?
Answer:
25,500 units
Cost of goods available for sale is $215,625.00
Explanation:
The available for sale units in the year is the sum of opening stock of inventory and purchases made in the course of the year as spelt below:
Quantity Price per unit $ total value $
Opening stock 6,500 8.25 53,625.00
Purchases(Jan7) 9,000 8.00 72,000.00
Purchases(Jan 21) 10,000 9.00 90,000.00
Total 25,500 215,625.00
The total number of goods available for sale is 25,500 units
The total cost of goods available for sale is $215,625
The cost of goods sold would then be the costs of goods available for sale less the value of closing stock of inventory
Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $3,831. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $554. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $415 per year over the four-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $1,745 per year for four years, with no additional costs.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3 to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". A colon () will automatically appear if required. (Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner.)
b. Determine whether the Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment.
Answer:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Differential
Lease Buy Amount
Purchase cost $0 $3,831 ($3,831)
Freight and $0 $554 ($554)
installation costs
Annual repairs and $0 $1,660 ($1,600)
maintenance costs
Lease costs $6,980 $0 $6,980
Total costs $6,980 $6,045 $935
The equipment should be purchased instead of leased because the costs of purchasing and maintenance costs are lower than lease costs.
Explanation:
A differential analysis is carried out to determine whether alternative projects' revenues and costs are higher. This way you can determine which project or investment costs less or generates higher profits.

Cho's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Miami that sells gluten-free pizzas. Cho's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Cho signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Cho's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Cho cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run. However, Cho's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Cho lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are __________ inputs, and the ovens are __________ inputs.
Answer: Variable ... Fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, Variable Inputs or costs are known as those which can be changed and their quantities can be varied. In this scenario, the employees that Cho's uses can be varied and so are the Variable Inputs.
Similarly, those costs that cann ot be changed or varied in the short run are rightly known as Fixed Inputs. Cho's Kitchen cannot take more than 3 ovens and also she has already signed a lease for them. These costs cannot be changed and so make the oven a Fixed Input.
It is worthy of note that in the long term, all Costs are considered Variable.
The City Transit Authority (CTA) is trying to decide between railcars manufactured by French Corp and Japan Rail Car. The French Corp cars cost more to buy initially, but they are expected to last for 10 years. The Japan Rail Car cars are cheaper initially, but they will wear out in 6 years. The cash flows related to each of the choices are presented below. If the CTA’s cost of capital is 8 percent, which type of car should the CTA buy? Support your answer.
Answer: The Japan Rail Car should be purchased
Explanation:
To find the answer we can use the Net Present Cost. By calculating the total net present value of the total costs involved in both projects, the cheaper alternative can then be chosen.
The cash-flows for both projects are constant so an annuity can be used to calculate them.
Please refer to the annuity table attached.
The French Corp Car
It will cost $275,000 originally and then $10,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. The goal is to find the present value of all the cost. That can be done by,
= (275,000) + PV of Annuity of $10,000 for 10 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 10 years and 8%)
= 275,000 + 10,000 (6.710)
= 275,000 + 67,100
= $342,100
The Japan Rail Car
It will cost $195,000 originally and then $15,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. Using the same method,
= (195,000) + PV of Annuity of $15,000 for 6 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 6 years and 8%)
= 195,000 + 15,000(4.623)
=195,000 + 69,345
= $264,345
The Japan Rail Car costs less in terms of total cost over its period of operation and so should be the one purchased by the CTA.
Suppose a relative has promised to give you $1,000 as a wedding gift the day you get engaged. Assuming a constant interest rate of 7%, consider the present and future values of this gift, depending on when you become engaged.
Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today.
Present Value Value in One Year Value in Two Years
Date Received (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
Today 1,000.00 ? ?
In 1 year ? 1,000.00
In 2 years ? 1,000.00
Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.
The present value of the gift is __________ if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Answer:
a.
Future Value in One Year = $1,070.00
Future Value in Two Years = $1,144.90
b.
Present Value of amount received in 1 year = $934.58
Present Value of amount received in 2 years = $873.44
The present value of the gift is less/lower if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Explanation:
These can be done as follows:
Present Value Value in One Year Value in Two Years
Date Received (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
Today 1,000.00 1,070.00 1,144.90
In 1 year 934.58 1,000.00
In 2 years 873.44 1,000.00
a. Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today.
To do this, we use future value (FV) formula as follows:
Future Value = A * (1 + r)^n ........................................ (1)
Where;
A = Amount received to day = $1,000.00
r = interest rate = 7%, or 0.07
n = number of years
Using equation (1), we therefore have:
Future Value in One Year = 1,000.00 * (1 + 0.07)^1 = $1,070.00
Future Value in Two Years = 1,000.00 * (1 + 0.07)^2 = $1,144.90
b. Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.
To do this, we use present value (PV) formula as follows:
Present Value = A / (1 + r)^n ........................................ (2)
Where;
A = Amount received in specified year = $1,000.00
r = interest rate = 7%, or 0.07
n = number of years
Using equation (2), we therefore have:
Present Value of amount received in 1 year = 1,000.00 / (1 + 0.07)^1 = $934.58
Present Value of amount received in 2 years = 1,000.00 / (1 + 0.07)^2 = $873.44
Since $873.44 is less/lower than $934.58, we therefore have:
The present value of the gift is less/lower if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
The correct statement will be that the present value of the wedding gift is $873.43 if you get engaged in two years, then it is $934.57 if you get engaged in one year when the future value is $1000.
The future value of wedding gifts will be $1070.00 and $1144.9 at the end of first and second year respectively. The computation for the values can be done by applying values to the formula.
Calculation of future value and present valueThe present value of the gift can be calculated as using the formula below, [tex]\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{Future\ Value}{1+ Fixed\ Interest\ Rate}\\\\\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{\$1000}{1.07}\\\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \$ 934.57[/tex]The present value for one year is 934.57 USD. Now for two years, [tex]\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{\$934.57}{1.07}\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \$873.43[/tex]Now to calculate the future value when the present value is considered to be as $1000. We will use the formula below, [tex]\rm Future\ Value\ for\ One\ Year=Present\ Value\ +\ \dfrac{Present\ Value\ x\ Time\ x\ Interest\ Rate}{100}\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value\ for\ One\ Year= 1000\ +\ \dfrac{1000\ \rm x\ 1\ \rm x\ 7}{100}\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value= \$1070[/tex]For the end of two years, the future value will be, [tex]\rm Future\ Value= Present\ Value\ (1+\dfrac{Interest}{no.\ of\ Compoundings})^n^t\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value= 1000\ (1+\dfrac{0.07}{1})^1^ x\ ^2\\\\\rm Future\ Value= \$1144.9[/tex]Hence, the value of the gifts can be ascertained as per the calculations above.

The following information is available for Marigold Corp.: Allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2019 $23000 Credit sales during 2020 1250000 Accounts receivable deemed worthless and written off during 2020 26800 As a result of a review and aging of accounts receivable in early January 2021, it has been determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $16700 is needed at December 31, 2020. What amount should Marigold record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020?
Answer: $20500
Explanation:
Bad debt is the amount of money that a credit owes the company and is not willing to be paid hence may not be collected.
The amount that Marigold should record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020 goes thus:
Bad debt allowance balance needed =
$16700
Add: Bad debt that are written off = $26800
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts = $23000
Bad debt expense will now be:
= $16700 + $26800 - $23,000
= $43500 - $23000
= $20500
Samantha, who is single and has MAGI of $28,000, was recently employed by an accounting firm. During the year, she spends $2,500 for a CPA exam review course and begins working on a law degree in night school. Her law school expenses were $4,200 for tuition and $450 for books (which are not a requirement for enrollment in the course).
Assuming no reimbursement, how much can Samantha deduct for the:
a. CPA exam review course? $X
b. Law school expenses? $X
Answer:
a. CPA exam review course $0
b. Law school expenses $4,000
Explanation:
1a. CPA exam review course will be $0 because the IRS has disallowed any costs that will lead to qualifying for a different trade .
1b. The Law School expenses will be $4,000 . Based on section 222, Samantha is been limited to $4,000 of the tuition paid.
Therefore the balance of $650 is excess tuition $200 + $450 books which will not qualify under the regular education expense deduction due to the negative position of the IRS on law school costs.
Your grandmother asks for your help in choosing a certificate of deposit (CD) from a bank with a one-year maturity and a fixed interest rate. The first certificate of deposit, CD #1, pays 1.95 percent APR compounded monthly, while the second certificate of deposit, CD #2, pays 2.00 percent APR compounded weekly. What is the effective annual rate (the EAR) of each CD, and which CD do you recommend to your grandmother?
Answer:
1.97% and 2.01%
Explanation:
The computation of the effective annual rate is shown below:-
Effective annual rate = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ n)^n -1
For CD 1
= (1 + 0.0195 ÷ 12)^12 - 1
= (1 + 0.001625 )^12 - 1
= (1.001625 )^12 - 1
= 1.97%
For CD 2
= (1 + 0.02 ÷ 2)^2 - 1
= (1 + 0.01 )^2 - 1
= (1.01)^2 - 1
= 2.01%
CD 2 will recommend to the grandmother
A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.50 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $4.50 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $51,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $55,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 5,500 units and sales of 4,350 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
Answer:
$15,525
Explanation:
Calculation for ending inventory under variable costing
Using this formula
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced −Units sold
Thus,
= 0 units + 5,500 units −4,350 units
= 1,150 units
Formula for Value of ending inventory under variable costing
= Unit in ending inventory × Variable production cost
= 1,150 units × $13.50 per unit
= $15,525
A company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $90,000. Predicted annual cash inflows from this investment are $36,000 (year 1), $30,000 (year 2), $18,000 (year 3), $12,000 (year 4) and $6,000 (year 5). The payback period is:
Answer:
3.5 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested from the cumulative cash flows.
The amount invested is $-90,000
In the first year , $-90,000 + $36,000 = $-54,000 is recovered
In the second year, $-54,000 + $30,000 = $-24,000 is recovered
In the third year, $-24,000 + $18,000 = $-6,000 is recovered
In the fourth year, $-6,000 + $12,000 = $6000 is recovered.
By the fourth year, the total amount invested is recovered as the cash flow turns postive
Pay back period = 3 years + $6000/$12,000 = 3.5 years

Arthur sustained an injury to his back. Arthur claimed the injury was suffered at work and filed a claim for workers' compensation benefits. The employer opposed this claim, saying the injury, if real, was the result of a congenital condition. In accordance with the statute, a hearing was held before the Workers' Compensation Board, which ruled against Arthur. Arthur became disgusted with the hearing officer and the proceedings because Arthur felt that the hearing officer did not like him. Arthur has consulted an attorney seeking to sue for workers' compensation benefits. An appeal is available within the agency, but Arthur wants to go directly to court because he feels that the agency appeal would be useless. Discuss the merits of this strategy.
Answer: Arthur can't bring a lawsuit to help overturn the ruling of the Worker’s Compensation Board,
Explanation:
From the question, Arthur got a back injury and Arthur claimed that the injury was suffered at work and therefore filed a claim for workers compensation benefits while the employer opposed this claim, by saying that the injury was due to a congenital condition.
A hearing was held before the Workers' Compensation Board, and the board ruled against Arthur. Arthur became disgusted and wants to go directly to the court because as he feels an agency isn't worth it.
The merits of this strategy are that
Arthur can't bring a lawsuit in order to help overturn the findings the Worker’s Compensation Board made, because Arthur failed to exhaust the available administrative remedies he had. Therefore, the lawsuit will not be successful and would therefore not be heard by the courts.

Karen Bartlett was given a generic version of Sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug. The result was that she developed toxic epidermal necrolysis, a disease that disfigured and blinded her. She brought suit alleging that there were warnings that should have been put on the generic version of the drug because issues with the skin infections were being reported. However, the manufacturer to Sulindac did not have FDA approval to place the warning on the product. The jury awarded Ms. Bartlett $21 million, and the generic manufacturer appealed the decision. Which of the following theories would be the best approach for the generic manufacturer to take in order to have the verdict reversed?
a. the commerce clause
b. substantive due process
c. preemption
d. due process because of the excessive size of the verdict
Answer:
option c: Preemption
Explanation:
preemption can simply be defined as the rule of law that proclaims the federal law and the constitution as the supreme law in all the land so therefore if there is a case whereby there is a conflict between a federal and a state law, the federal law will be in absolute control and this will render the state law to be void.
there are two primary occasion that will warrant preemption they are where clearly, federal law preempts state or local law, and also where preemption is implied. different kind of preemption can also be said to be express preemption, implied preemption, field preemption, conflict preemption and frustration of purpose preemption.
