Firm A produces desks. It is situated in the US but imports wood from Brazil. Last year it imported $8,000 in lumber and sold 100% of its production for a total value of $56,000 (assume transportation costs are negligible). What was the total value added by this firm to the economy (in terms of GDP) last year (in dollars)?

(A) 56,000
(B) 64,000
(C) 48,000

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C: 48000

Explanation:

The Expenditure Approach is a method of measuring GDP by calculating all spending throughout the economy including consumer consumption, investing, government spending, and net exports. This method calculates what a country produces, assuming that the finished goods and services of a country equals the amount spent in the country for that period.

The formula is:

GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP: Gross Domestic Product

(C) consumer spending – this is the amount that all consumers spend on goods and services for personal use.

(I) investment – this is the amount that businesses or owners spend to invest in new equipment or expansions.

(G) government spending – this includes spending on new infrastructure like bridges and roads.

(NX) net exports – this includes spending on a country’s exports minus its spending on imports.

AddedGDP= 56000-8000

AddedGDP= 48000

Rand Corporation acquires Southern Company's assets and liabilities for $20,000,000 in cash. At the date of acquisition, Southern's balance sheet reported assets of $75,000,000 and liabilities of $65,000,000. Investigation reveals that Southern's reported plant assets are overvalued by $1,400,000. Rand reports how much goodwill on this acquisition?

Answers

Answer: $8,600,000

Explanation:

Acquire Southern Company's assets and liabilities in cash = $20,000,000

Southern's balance sheet reported,

Assets = $75,000,000

Liabilities = $65,000,000

plant assets are overvalued by $1,400,000

Actual Value of Southern's Assets = Total Fair Value - Overvaluation

                                                         = $75,000,000 - $1,400,000

                                                         = $73,600,000

Goodwill = Actual Value of Southern's Assets - Value of Liabilities

               = $73,600,000 - $65,000,000

               = $8,600,000

Final answer:

Goodwill is calculated by subtracting the fair value of the net assets of Southern Company from the purchase price paid by Rand Corporation. With the plant assets overvalued by $1,400,000, the adjusted net assets are $8,600,000 and the resulting goodwill is $11,400,000.

Explanation:

The student is asking how to calculate the goodwill resulting from Rand Corporation's acquisition of Southern Company. To determine goodwill, we subtract the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the purchase price. First, we need to adjust the assets and liabilities reported on Southern's balance sheet to reflect their fair value. Southern's plant assets were overvalued by $1,400,000; thus, we subtract this from the reported assets value of $75,000,000 to get $73,600,000. Next, calculate the net assets by subtracting liabilities from assets ($73,600,000 - $65,000,000 = $8,600,000). Finally, we subtract this net assets figure from the cash paid by Rand Corporation ($20,000,000 - $8,600,000 = $11,400,000), which is the amount of goodwill to be reported.

C. $41,000 $45,000 $39,000
D. $42,000 $48,000 $35,000

Answers

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Partner S:

Salary allowance = $20,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 60,000

                                                            = $6,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $60,000

Remainder = 30% of 50,000

                   = $15,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $20,000 + $6,000 + $15,000

                                                = $41,000

Partner R:

Salary allowance = $25,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 50,000

                                                            = $5,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $50,000

Remainder = 30% of 50,000

                  = $15,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $25,000 + $5,000 + $15,000

                                                = $45,000

Partner T:

Salary allowance = $15,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 40,000

                                                            = $4,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $40,000

Current year net income = $125,000

Remainder = 40% of 50,000

                  = $20,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $15,000 + $4,000 + $20,000

                                                = $39,000

Workings:

Salary allowed = $20,000 + $25,000 + $15,000

                         = $60,000

Interest on average capital balance = $6,000 + $5,000 + $4,000

                                                            = $15,000

Total = Salary allowed  + Interest on average capital balance

        = $60,000 + $15,000

        = $75,000

Remainder = Current year net income - Total

                  = $125,000 - $75,000

                  = $50,000

Mango Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Mango Company estimated total overhead costs to be $360,000, and direct labor costs to be $180,000. Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $387,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $203,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a:

Answers

Answer:

Balance for the Factory Overhead account: 19,000 credit

Explanation:

We will first, calculate the overhead rate based on the predetermination overhead rate:

[tex]\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate[/tex]

The total manufacturing cost will be distributed over the cost driver. In this case, labor cost:

360,000/180,000 = 2 overhead rate

Then, we calculate the applied overhead 203,000 x 2 = 406,000

Now, the balance for factory overhead account:

Actual overhead: 387,000 debit

        payable, accumulated depreicaiton and other 387,000 credit

WIP 406,000 debit

Applied Overhead 406,000 credit

Balance:

406,000 - 387,000 = 19,000 credit

Answers

Answer:

Total cost=   $8993

Explanation:

Total manufacturing cost is the aggregate amount of cost incurred by a business to produce goods in a reporting period.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the cost of goods sold shall consist of:

the cost of direct materials

the cost of direct labor

the cost of manufacturing overhead

In this exercise:

direct materials= $2057

direct labor= 32hours*$21=$672

manufacturing overhead= 216hours*$29= $6264

Total cost= 2057 + 672 + 6264=  $8993

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Q=15 million

Q*=25 million

Unitary variable cost= $3

Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $3million per year

A) For Q:

Total cost= 3000000+15000000*3= $63000000

B) Average cost per unit=63000000/15000000=$4.2

C) Fixed cost per unit= 3000000/15000000= $0.2

D) Q*=25000000

Total cost= 30000000+25000000*3=$78000000

E) Fixed cost per unit= 3000000/25000000= $0.12

D) It decreases because the fixed costs are distributed by more units.

Final answer:

The current total product cost is $45 million, the current average product cost per unit is $3, the current fixed cost per unit is $0.20. The forecasted total product cost next year is $75 million, the forecasted average product cost next year is $3, and the forecasted fixed cost per unit is $0.12. The average product cost decreases as production increases due to the spreading of fixed costs over a larger number of units.

Explanation:

1. The current total product cost, including fixed and variable costs, can be calculated by multiplying the number of units (15 million) by the total cost per unit ($3). So the current total product cost is $45 million.

2. The current average product cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the current total product cost ($45 million) by the number of units (15 million). So the current average product cost per unit is $3.

3. The current fixed cost per unit is calculated by dividing the fixed manufacturing overhead costs ($3 million) by the number of units (15 million). So the current fixed cost per unit is $0.20.

4. The forecasted total product cost next year, including fixed and variable costs, can be calculated by multiplying the number of units (25 million) by the total cost per unit ($3). So the forecasted total product cost next year is $75 million.

5. The forecasted average product cost next year can be calculated by dividing the forecasted total product cost next year ($75 million) by the number of units (25 million). So the forecasted average product cost next year is $3.

6. The forecasted fixed cost per unit is calculated by dividing the fixed manufacturing overhead costs ($3 million) by the number of units (25 million). So the forecasted fixed cost per unit is $0.12.

7. The average product cost decreases as production increases because the fixed costs are spread over a larger number of units. This means that the fixed cost per unit decreases as more units are produced, resulting in a lower average product cost.
