Pix Company has the following production data for March: no beginning work in process, units started and completed 25,500, and ending work in process 4,400 units that are 100% complete for materials and 40% complete for conversion costs. Pix uses the FIFO method to compute equivalent units. If unit materials cost is $5 and unit conversion cost is $12, determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and the units in ending work in process. The total costs to be assigned are $476,620.
Answer:
Ending Work In Process Cost = $43,120
Units Transferred out Cost = $433,500
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent units calculation
Materials
Ending Work in Process = 4,400 x 100% = 4,400 units
Conversion
Ending Work in Process = 4,400 x 40% = 1,760 units
Step 2 : Total Costs assigned to Ending Work In Process
Ending Work In Process Cost = Materials + Conversion Costs
= 4,400 x $5 + 1,760 x $12
= $43,120
Step 3 : Total Cost of Units Transferred out
Units Transferred out = Total Unit Cost x Units transferred
= $17.00 x 25,500
= $433,500
Craigmont uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. Its year-end unadjusted trial balance shows Accounts Receivable of $130,500, allowance for doubtful accounts of $925 (credit) and sales of $1,055,000. If uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 7% of accounts receivable, what is the amount of the bad debts expense adjusting entry
Answer:
the amount of bad debt expense for the adjusting entry is $8,210
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of bad debt expense for the adjusting entry is shown below:
= Unadjusted trial balance × estimated percentage - credit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts
= $130,500 × 7% - $925
= $9,135 - $925
= $8,210
Hence, the amount of bad debt expense for the adjusting entry is $8,210
Delta Importers has a pure discount loan with a face value of $180,000 due in one year. The assets of the firm are currently worth $265,000. The shareholders in this firm basically own a _____ option on the assets of the firm with a strike price of _____. Group of answer choices Put; $180,000 Put; $265,000 Warrant; $265,000 Call; $180,000 Call; $265,000
Answer: Call; $180,000
Explanation:
A Call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset if they want to at a certain set price.
In this scenario the shareholders of this firm can buy the assets of this company in order to pay off the debt of $180,000 which in essence makes $180,000 the strike price thereby making this a call option.
g You are looking for a dividend security to provide yourself with additional steady income. You have found a company with an expected dividend next year of $1.20. You have done an analysis on the company's past dividends and the dividend amount has increased at a constant rate of 3.4 percent for the last eight years and you have no expectation of a change in growth rate. If you require a 9 percent rate of return on your investments, what should you be willing to pay today for the stock
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Expected dividend, D1 = $1.20
Required rate of return, r = 9%
Growth rate = 3.4%
Then, the formula to get the price will be:
= D1/(r-g)
= 1.2/(9%-3.4%)
= 1.2/5.6%
= $21.4
The amount to pay due the stock is less than $24.00
Grand River Corporation reported taxable income of $400,000 in year 1 and paid federal income taxes of $160,000. Not included in the computation was a disallowed meals expense of $3,100, tax-exempt income of $2,100, and deferred gain on an installment sale from a prior year of $36,000. The corporation's current earnings and profits for year 1 would be:
Answer: $275,000
Explanation:
Earnings and Profit for the year:
= Taxable income - Federal income taxes - Disallowed meals expense + Tax exempt income + Deferred gain
= 400,000 - 160,000 - 3,100 + 2,100 + 36,000
= $275,000
For the U.S. soft drink market, of the 300 million people in the U.S., 80% of the population is the maximum number of consuming units. The average soft drink consumer buys 365 soft drinks a year at an average price of $0.98 per drink. What is the annual market potential of soft drink in dollar value
Answer:
Annual market potential = $85,848 millions
Explanation:
The annual market potential is the expected sales value for the soft drink product for a year should the maximum number of potential consumers purchase the product at the average price.
Annual market potential = Average price × No of consuming unit × consumption rate per annum
Maximum number of consuming unit = 80%× 300 million =240 million
Consumption rate per buyer per annum = 365
Average price = $0.98
Annual market potential ($) = 0.98× 240× 365 =$85,848 millions
Annual market potential = $85,848 millions
In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen.
For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will _________, and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by ____________the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to __________ the natural level of output in the short run. Suppose the economy's short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve is given by the following equation:
Answer:
1. A fall in prices of soybean
2. Reduce quantity she supplies
3. Falls below
Explanation:
We are to fill in the blanks here
1. In this question the farmer expected price level of 100 but the actual price realized was 90 so there would be a fall in the price of soybean.
2. If farmer feels that price of other goods caused this fall, she would reduce the quantity of soybean that she supplies
3. The quantity supplied is then going to fall below natural level in the short run
Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows:
Direct materials: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound $40.00

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 30,000 units and incurred the following costs:
a. Purchased 160,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
b. Direct laborers worked 55,000 hours at a rate of $15.00 per hour.
c. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $280,500.
Required:
a. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's planning budget for March?
b. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget for March?
c. What is the materials price variance for March?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound $40.00
The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units.
a)
The material cost included in the planning budget is the standard cost multiplied for the budgeted production.
Direct material requiered= 25,000*5= 100,000 pounds
Standard cost per pound= $5
Direct material budget= 100,000*5= $500,000
b)
The raw material's flexible budget adapts to the actual production level.
Direct material flexible budget= standard cost*actual material used in production
Direct material flexible budget= 5*160,000
Direct material flexible budget= $800,000
c)
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5 - 7.5)*160,000
Direct material price variance= $400,000 unfavorable

The main difference between accrual and cash basis accounting lies in the timing of when revenue and expenses are recognized. The cash method is a more immediate recognition of revenue and expenses, while the accrual method focuses on anticipated revenue and expenses.
Cabinaire Inc. is one of the largest manufacturers of office furniture in the United States. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, it assembles filing cabinets in an Assembly Department. Assume the following information for the Assembly Department:
Direct labor per filing cabinet 20 minutes
Supervisor salaries $117,000 per month
Depreciation $21,000 per month
Direct labor rate $15 per hour
Required:
Prepare a flexible budget for 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 filing cabinets for the month of March
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Supervisor salaries $117,000 per month
Depreciation $21,000 per month
Direct labor rate $15 per hour
Cabinets per hour= 60/20= 3
We need to determine the flexible budget for different production levels:
12,000 units:
Total direct labor hours= (12,000 / 3)= 4,000 hours
Total variable cost= 4,000*15= 60,000
Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00
Total cost= $198,000
15,000 units:
Total direct labor hours= (15,000 / 3)= 5,000 hours
Total variable cost= 5,000*15= 75,000
Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00
Total cost= $213,000
18,000 units:
Total direct labor hours= (18,000 / 3)= 6,000 hours
Total variable cost= 6,000*15= 90,000
Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00
Total cost= $228,000

Marcy wanted to buy Lucy's land and use it to breed small pigs to be kept as pets. Marcy told Lucy that having water on the property was very important. Lucy assured her that a spring ran through one corner of the property. Therefore, Marcy agreed to buy the farm. Although she did not ask Lucy anything about it, Marcy, who loved pigs, assumed that the neighbors would be pleased with the pigs being in the area. In a separate contract, Lucy also agreed to sell Marcy a used truck for $5,000. After the contract for the land sale was entered into, it was discovered that actually the spring did not run through the corner of Lucy's property. The area in which the spring ran actually belonged to a neighbor. Additionally, when Lucy brought Marcy the used truck, Marcy said, "That's not the truck!" It was discovered that Lucy, who had two trucks, thought that Marcy had bought the older truck when Marcy thought she had purchased the newer truck. Marcy was also surprised when she received a petition signed by all surrounding landowners objecting to the presence of the pigs and threatening to sue Marcy for nuisance. Which of the following would be the result if Marcy attempts to rescind the contract and recover damages only on the basis of the neighbors' objection to a pig farm?
1) Marcy may rescind the contract and recover damages because Lucy made an implied misrepresentation.
2) Marcy may rescind the contract, but she may not recover damages because the situation involved a mutual mistake.
3) Marcy may recover damages, but she may not rescind the contract because Lucy made an implied misrepresentation.
4) Marcy may not rescind the contract or recover damages because Marcy made a unilateral mistake.

Core Corporation reported current earnings and profits of $250,000. Core distributed a building with an adjusted basis of $170,000 and a fair market value of $230,000 to its sole shareholder. The building had a mortgage of $90,000, which the shareholder will assume. What is the amount of the dividend received by the shareholder?
A. $80,000.
B. $140,000.
C. $230,000.
D. $250,000.
Answer:
B. $140,000
Explanation:
The total cost of acquiring an asset, including the installation, commission, transportation and other relevant fees is known as adjusted basis. The fair market value is the value an asset would yield when sold. It is an amount that would be received in return when an asset is sold.
Therefore, the shareholders would receive dividend at the fair market value adjusted for the mortgage balance
= $230,000 - $90,000
= $140,000

c. Chin Company was able to issue the bonds for only $9,594,415 rather than for the face amount of $10,000,000 because the bonds were issued at a discount and not face value. Bonds can be issued at face value, discount, or premium, depending on the prevailing investor's sentiments and the attractiveness of the bonds to investors.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Face value of bonds = $10 million
Discounted value (Cash receipt) = $9,594,415
Total amount of discount = $405,585
Bond's interest rate = 7%
Market yield = 8%
Bond maturity period = 5 years
Payment period = semiannually
Issuance of the bonds:
Cash $9,594,415 Bond Discounts $405,585 Bonds Liability $10,000,000
June 30:
Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)
Bonds' Interest expense = $383,777 ($9,594,415 * 4%)
Amortization of bond discount = $33,777 ($383,777 - $350,000)
Bond book value = $9,628,192 ($9,594,415 + $33,777)
December 31:
Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)
Bonds' Interest expense = $385,128 ($9,628,192 * 4%)
Amortization of bond discount = $35,128 ( $385,128 - $350,000)
Bond book value = $9,663,410 ($9,628,192 + $35,218)
Your bank card has an APR of 21% and there is a 3% fee for cash advances. The bank starts charging interest on cash advances immediately. You get a cash advance of $500 on the first day of the month. You get your credit card bill at the end of the month. What is the approximate total finance charge you will pay on this cash advance for the month
Answer:
Total finance charge=$23.75
Explanation:
The amount charged for the use of the fund by a bank is called interest rate. Here it is quoted as 21% per annum but we will need to determine the approximate monthly rate by dividing by 12.
The total finance charge will be equal = Interest rate + advance fee
Monthly interest rate = 21/12 =1.75%
Interest payment = 1.75%× $500=$8.75
Advance fee = 3%× $500= $15
Total finance charge = $8.75 + $15= $23.75
Total finance charge=$23.75
A machine that cost $225,000 has an estimated residual value of $15,000 and an estimated useful life of 15,000 machine hours. The company uses units-of-production depreciation and ran the machine 3,000 hours in year 1, 4,000 hours in year 2, and 5,000 hours in year 3. Calculate its book value at the end of year 3
Answer:
$57,000
Explanation:
Step 1 : Depreciation Rate
Depreciation Rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Production
therefore,
Depreciation Rate = $14.00 per machine hour
Step 2 : Depreciation expenses
Depreciation expense = Depreciation Rate x Annual production
therefore
Year 1 = $42,000
Year 2 = $56,000
Year 3 = $70,000
Total = $168,000
Step 3 : Book Value
Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $225,000 - $168,000
= $57,000
Conclusion :
book value at the end of year 3 is $57,000

Last year Rennie Industries had sales of $270,000, assets of $175,000 (which equals total invested capital), a profit margin of 5.3%, and an equity multiplier of 1.2. The CFO believes that the company could reduce its assets by $51,000 without affecting either sales or costs. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Had it reduced its assets by this amount, and had the debt/total invested capital ratio, sales, and costs remained constant, how much would the ROE have changed? Do not round your intermediate calculations. a. 3.03% b. 3.07% c. 4.04% d. 4.52% e. 4.08%
Answer:
c. 4.04%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much would the ROE have changed
First step is to Calculate last year Last year profit
Last year profit = $270,000 × 5.3%
Last year profit = $14,310.00
Second step is to calculate Last year equity
$175,000/Last year equity = 1.2
Last year equity = $175,000/1.2
Last year equity= $145,833.33
Third step is to calculate Last year ROE
Last year ROE = $14,310.00/$145,833.33
Last year ROE= 0.0981*100
Last year ROE= 9.81%
Fourth step is to Calculate New asset value
New asset value = $175,000 - $51,000
New asset value = $124,000
Fifth step is to calculate Equity after asset reduction
Equity after asset reduction = $124,000/1.2
Equity after asset reduction = $103,333.33
Sixth step is to calculate ROE after asset reduction
ROE after asset reduction = $14,310.00/$103,333.33
ROE after asset reduction =0.1385*100
ROE after asset reduction =13.85%
Now let calculate amount of change in ROE
Using this formula
Change in ROE = ROE after asset reduction - Last year ROE
Let plug in the formula
Change in ROE = 13.85% - 9.81%
Change in ROE = 4.04%
Therefore how much would the ROE have changed is 4.04%
