Answer: C. 150-250 basis points
Explanation:
Banks now charge between 150 to 250 basis points above the London Interbank Official Rate (LIBOR). This means that they charge a premium of between 1.5% to 2.5% over LIBOR for construction projects.
Like earlier mentioned, risks of construction lending may be less in a number of respects than those associated with land acquisition but however there are still risks. Risks such as low Tenancy when built, the potential Environmental problems and location.
This is why it is necessary to charge such a premium which is actually a very competitive rate amongst Banks.

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $89,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you an APR of 7.1 percent for a 60 month loan to buy the car. What will your monthly payments be? What is the effective annual rate on this loan?
Answer: a) $1,775.44
b. 7.34%
Explanation:
a)What we are dealing with here is an annuity.
And to find the monthly payments, we can use the Present Value of an annuity formula because we already have the present value of the Annuity.
Formula is,
PV = PMT ( 1 - (1 + r) ^ -n)/ r
Where PV is the present value
PMT is the payment
r is the APR
n is the number of periods.
Because n is in months, APR must be in months too so,
= 7.1%/12
= 0.59%
Calculating therefore would be,
89,500 = PMT (1 - (1 + 0.59%) ^ - 60)/ 0.59%
89,500 = PMT (50.41)
PMT = 89,500/50.41
PMT = 1775.44138068
PMT = $1,775.44
The monthly payment is $1,775.44
b) Effective annual rate on this loan = (1+APR/12)^12 -1
= (1+7.1%/12)^12 -1
= 7.34%
Effective annual rate on this loan is 7.34%
If you need any clarification do comment.
Final answer:
The monthly payments for the sports coupe loan at 7.1% APR are $1,775.72, with an effective annual rate of 7.35%. Lowering the interest rate to 0.5% reduces the monthly payment to $1,602.31.
Explanation:
Monthly Payments Calculation:
For the $89,500 sports coupe at 7.1% APR with a 60-month loan, the monthly payment is $1,775.72.
Effective Annual Rate Calculation:
The effective annual rate on this loan is 7.35%.
Comparison:
If the interest rate drops to 0.5%, the monthly payment would be $1,602.31.
The monthly payments for the sports coupe loan at 7.1% APR are $1,775.72, with an effective annual rate of 7.35%. Lowering the interest rate to 0.5% reduces the monthly payment to $1,602.31.
Ly Company disposed of two different assets. On January 1, prior to their disposal, the accounts reflected the following: Asset Original Cost Residual Value Estimated Life Accumulated Depreciation (straight-line) Machine A $ 36,000 $ 3,900 5 years $ 25,680 (4 years) Machine B 68,200 4,500 14 years 50,050 (11 years) The machines were disposed of in the following ways: Machine A: Sold on January 1 for $10,800 cash. Machine B: On January 1, this machine was sold to a salvage company at zero proceeds (and zero cost of removal).
Prepare the journal entries related to the disposal of Machine A and B at the beginning of the current year.
Answer:
The journal entries related to the disposal of Machine A and B at the beginning of the current year.
Machine A:
Debit Accumulated depreciation $25,680
Debit Cash (sales proceed) $10,800
Credit Asset (Machine cost) $36,000
Credit Gain on disposal $480
(To record disposal of Machine A)
Machine B:
Debit Accumulated depreciation $50,050
Debit Cash (sales proceed) $0
Debit Loss on disposal $18,150
Credit Asset (Machine cost) $68,200
(To record disposal of Machine B)
Explanation:
Machine A: Using straight-line depreciation method = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful life: ($36,000 - $3,900) / 5 years = $6,420/year
$6,420/year x 4 years = $25,680
The net book value of the asset is $36,000 - $25,680 = $10,320. Gain on disposal is $10,800 - $10,320 = $480
Machine B: Depreciation: ($68,200 - $4,500) / 14 years = $4,550/year
$4,550/year x 11 years = $50,050
The net book value of the asset is $68,200 - $50,050 = $18,150. Loss on disposal is $0 - $18,150 = -$18,150
Suppose that you took out a student loan at a rate of 4.45%. Note that this rate is constant for the life of the loan. Next, suppose that at your first job after graduation, there are two possibilities: (i) the inflation rate is 2%, and your wages rise by 4% or (ii) the inflation rate is 3%, and your wages rise by 5%. (No, you certainly do not get a choice of inflation rates, but pretend that you can for the sake of exploring this important concept.) Briefly explain whether you would prefer the first or the second situation.
Answer:
(ii) the inflation rate is 3%, and your wages rise by 5%
Explanation:
As the inflation decreasethe value of money over-time
The student loan constant nominal-rate will make for a lower real-nterest on the loan. As more inflation bettter is to owe as the real burden of the liability is being halved by inflation. In the opposite side it is better not to loan at fixed rate under inflationaries economies as the capital will be destroyed.
Also, it is important the the second approach is preferable as we are given wages rise of 5% every year making them, increase higher than inflationhenceforth our real salaries increase in respect to debt in the long turn.
June Corp. sells one product and uses a perpetual inventory system. The beginning inventory consisted of 80 units that cost $20 per unit. During the current month, the company purchased 480 units at $20 each. Sales during the month totaled 360 units for $43 each. What is the cost of goods sold using the LIFO method
Answer:
$7200
Explanation:
LIFO means last in, first out. It means the last purchased inventory are the first to be sold.
The cost of goods sold = 360 x $20 = $7200
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
$7,200
Explanation:
The LIFO method of inventory valuation is one in which the last set of inventory items purchased are the first to be sold. This system may not be prudent where the items of inventory are perishable.
Given that sales during the month totaled 360 units, these must have been part of the items purchased during the month at $20 each. Hence, cost of goods sold
= 360 * $20
= $7,200

Over and Under, Inc. manufactures weaving looms.
Before the period began, the company prepared the following manufacturing overhead budget for an expected activity level of 15,000 direct labor hours (DL hrs):
Variable Manufacturing Overhead Costs $322,500
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Costs $205,000
By the end of the period, the company noted that 3,000 fewer direct labor hours were logged than expected. The total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred during the period was $545,000, of which, $325,000 was fixed.
1. Which of the following statements is correct for the above data?
A. The company’s flexible budget variance for total manufacturing overhead costs during the period equals $64,500.
B. The master budget variance related to fixed manufacturing overhead costs for the period equals $17,500.
C. The flexible budget variance for variable manufacturing overhead costs is favorable because fewer DL hrs were logged during production than expected.
D. The total volume variance can be calculated by multiplying$21.50 by the difference between the expected DL hrs and the actual DL hrs.
E. The volume variance for fixed manufacturing overhead costs is negative.
Answer:
The answer is C.
The flexible budget variance for variable manufacturing overhead costs is favorable because fewer DL hrs were logged during production than expected.
Explanation:
The flexible budget variance for manufacturing overhead =
(Actual DL hrs * OAR) - Actual Overhead
= ( 12,000* $21.50 ) - ( $545,000 - $325,000)
= $258,000 - $220,000
= $38,500 Fav.
Trio Company sells three products, Do, Ra, and Mi, for prices of $8, $7, and $5, respectively. They also offer combinations of the products for reduced overall prices. The following packages are available: (1) a package containing Do and Ra sells for $13.50, (2) a package of Do and Mi sells for $11.50, (3) a package containing Ra and Mi sells for $10.50, and (4) a package of all three products, Do, Ra, and Mi, sells for $17.00.
1. If Trio Company uses the incremental-revenues allocation method and has designated Ra as the primary product, the amount of revenues from a bundled package of all three products to be allocated to Ra would be
a. $7.00.
b. $6.80.
c. $5.95.
d. $4.25.
Answer:
Option A is correct one.
$7.00
Explanation:
Bundle package price (or) Suite price of all the 3 products is 17. This is more than the stand alone price of primary product Ra. Hence as per the rule of Incremental revenue allocation, 100% of stand alone revenue to be allocated to primary product in such case.
When using the incremental-revenues allocation method and designating Ra as the primary product, the amount of revenues from a bundled package of all three products to be allocated to Ra is $7.00.
The correct option is 'a'.
The student's question involves the allocation of revenues from bundled product packages using the incremental-revenues allocation method. Specifically, the student wants to know how much of the revenue from a package of all three products should be allocated to the product designated as the primary product (i.e., Ra).
In this scenario, the individual prices of Do, Ra, and Mi are $8, $7, and $5 respectively, and the package price of all three is $17.00. To determine the amount allocated to Ra, we subtract from the bundle price ($17.00) the sum of the incremental prices for the other two products based on their combination prices with Ra. This is calculated as follows:
Price of Do and Ra combined package: $13.50 (implies Do's incremental price: $13.50 - Ra's price).Price of Ra and Mi combined package: $10.50 (implies Mi's incremental price: $10.50 - Ra's price).After calculating the incremental prices of Do and Mi relative to Ra, sum these incremental amounts and subtract from the total package price to find the allocation to Ra:
Ra's allocation = $17.00 - (Incremental price of Do relative to Ra + Incremental price of Mi relative to Ra).Ra's allocation = $17.00 - (($13.50 - $7.00) + ($10.50 - $7.00)).Ra's allocation = $17.00 - ($6.50 + $3.50).Ra's allocation = $17.00 - $10.00.Ra's allocation = $7.00.The correct answer for the revenue allocated to Ra when applying the incremental-revenues allocation method for a package of Do, Ra, and Mi is $7.00 (option a).
K-Too Everwear Corporation can manufacture mountain climbing shoes for $13.5 per pair in variable raw material costs and $13.44 per pair in variable labor expense. The shoes sell for $102 per pair. Last year, production was 160,000 pairs. Fixed costs were $900,000.
What were total production costs?
Answer:
Production costs= $4,310,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
$13.5 per pair in variable raw material costs and $13.44 per pair in variable labor expense.
The production costs are the sum of direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead.
Production costs= (13.5 + 13.44)*160,000= $4,310,400
Answer:
$4,310,400
Explanation:
Karim Corp. requires a minimum $8,000 cash balance. Loans taken to meet this requirement cost 1% interest per month (paid monthly). Any excess cash is used to repay loans at month-end. The cash balance on July 1 is $8,400, and the company has no outstanding loans. Forecasted cash receipts (other than for loans received) and forecasted cash payments (other than for loan or interest payments) follow. July August September Cash receipts $ 20,000 $ 26,000 $ 40,000 Cash payments 28,000 30,000 22,000 Prepare a cash budget for July, August, and September. (Negative balances and Loan repayment amounts (if any) should be indicated with minus sign. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of cash budget for July, August and September is shown below:-
July August September
Beginning cash balance $8,400 $8,000 $8,000
Add:
Cash receipts $20,000 $26,000 $40,000
Total cash available $28,400 $34000 $48000
Less:-
Cash payments $28,000 $30,000 $22,000
Less:-
Interest on bank loan 0 $76 $117
Preliminary cash balance $400 $3,924 $25,883
Additional loan(loan repayment) $7,600 $4,076 -$11,676
Ending cash balance $8,000 $8,000 $14,207
Loan balance
Loan balance -Beginning of month 0 $7,600 $11,676
Additional loan(loan repayment) $7,600 $4,076 -$11,676
loan balance-end of month $7,600 $11,676 0
Working note
Interest = $7600 × 1% = $76
Interest = $11,676 × 1% = $117
Therefore for making cash budget we simply added all the receipts and less all the payments.
A monthly cash budget for Karim Corp is prepared by tracking the beginning balance, forecasted receipts, forecasted payments, any necessary loans, and interest, and then calculating the ending balance. For July and August, loans are necessary to maintain the $8,000 minimum balance. In September, a surplus allows repayment of the loans.
Explanation:For the cash budget, let's go month by month July begins with a cash balance of $8,400. Adding the forecasted receipts of $20,000 and subtracting the forecasted payments of $28,000 leaves us with an ending balance of $400. However, Karim Corp requires a minimum balance of $8,000, so you will have to take out a loan for $7,600 to meet this requirement. The loan costs 1% interest per month or $76 for July.
Moving on to August, we begin with our balance of $8,000 (the loaned amount). We add receipts of $26,000 and subtract payments of $30,000, leaving a balance of $4,000. Again, we need to maintain a balance of $8,000, so we need another loan. This time the loan is for $4,000, and the interest cost is $40. Adding this to the July interest gives a total interest cost of $116.
In September, we start with our balance of $8,000, add receipts of $40,000 and subtract payments of $22,000. This gives us an ending balance of $26,000. With this surplus, we can pay off the total loan amount of $11,600 (loans of $7,600 and $4,000 plus the total interest of $116). This leaves us with a final September balance of $14,234.

Adley Abdulwahab (Wahab) opened an account on behalf of W Financial Group, LLC, with Wells Fargo Bank. Wahab was one of three authorized signers on the account. Five months later, Wahab withdrew $1,701,250 from W Financial’s account to buy a cashier’s check payable to Lubna Lateef. Wahab visited a different Wells Fargo branch and deposited the check into the account of CA Houston Investment Center, LLC. Wahab was the only authorized signer on this account. Lateef never received or indorsed the check. W Financial filed a suit to recover the amount. Applying the rules for payment on a forged indorsement, who is liable?
Answer:
The bank must re-credit the customers account when a check is paid with forged signature.
Explanation:
The answer to the given question is that :
The bank must re-credit the customers account when a check is paid with forged signature. It is a general rule as a forged signature does not has a legal effect on a check. This is the only reason the bank requires signature cards from each customer to verify the signature of a customer on the check. Bank verifies signature when the threshold exceeds a certain limit.
The liability in this case depends on whether Wells Fargo Bank is considered a holder in due course or not. If Wells Fargo is a holder in due course, they would not be liable for the amount. However, if Wells Fargo is not a holder in due course, they would be liable for the amount.
Explanation:According to the rules for payment on a forged indorsement, the liability in this case would depend on whether Wells Fargo Bank is considered a holder in due course or not. If Wells Fargo is a holder in due course, they would not be liable for the amount and W Financial would not be able to recover it. However, if Wells Fargo is not a holder in due course, they would be liable for the amount and W Financial would be able to recover it.
In order for Wells Fargo to be considered a holder in due course, they must meet certain requirements, such as taking the check for value, in good faith, and without notice of any claims or defenses against it. If the requirements are not met, then Wells Fargo would not be a holder in due course and would be liable for the amount.
In this case, it is not clear whether Wells Fargo is a holder in due course or not, as more information would be needed to determine if they met the requirements. However, if they are not a holder in due course, they would be liable for the amount and W Financial would be able to recover it.

The Wilmoths plan to purchase a house but want to determine the after-tax cost of financing its purchase. Given their projected taxable income, the Wilmoths are in the 24% Federal income tax bracket and the 8% state income tax bracket (i.e., an aggregate marginal tax bracket of 32%). The total cash outlay during the first year of ownership will be $23,400 ($1,200 principal payments, $22,200 qualified residence interest payments).As a result, the annual after-tax cost of financing the purchase of the home will be $_____________.
Answer:
The annual after-tax cost of financing the purchase of the home will be $ 16,296.
Explanation:
To calcuate the annual after-tax cost of financing the purchase of the home we have to use the following formula:
annual after-tax cost of financing the purchase= Installment -tax saving
Acording to the data Tax Saving = 32 % x of Interest amount , hence, tax saving= 32% x $22,200
=$7,104
So, annual after-tax cost of financing the purchase= $23,400- $7,104
= $ 16,296
A company that produces a single product had a net operating income of $90,000 using variable costing and a net operating income of $125,750 using absorption costing. Total fixed manufacturing overhead was $58,650 and production was 11,500 units both this year and last year. Last year was the first year of operations. Between the beginning and the end of the year, the inventory level: (Do not round intermediate computation and round your final answer to nearest whole number.)
a. decreased by 7,010 units
b. increased by 7,010 units
c. increased by 35,750 units
d. decreased by 35,750 units
Answer:
a. Decreased by 7010 units
Explanation:
Variable costing net operating income$ 90,000
Add manufacturing overhead costs
deferred in inventory under absorption
costing ($125,750-$90,000) $35,750
Deduct fixed manufacturing overhead costs released from inventory under absorption costingAbsorption costing net operating income $125,750
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = $58,650 ÷ 11,500 units = $5.1 per unit
Manufacturing overhead deferred in (released from) inventory = Fixed manufacturing overhead in endinginventory − Fixed manufacturing overhead in beginning inventory$35,750= ($5.1 per unit × Units in ending inventory) − ($5.1 per unit × Units in beginning inventory)$35,750 = $5.1 per unit × (Units in ending inventory − Units in beginning inventory)(Units in ending inventory − Units in beginning inventory)
= $35,750÷ $5.1 per unit = 7,010 units
Answer:
Option B, increased by 7,010 units is the correct answer
Explanation:
The profits under absorption costing of $125,750 is higher than the one recorded under variable costing of $90,000,this implies that more inventory items have been charged with fixed cost included in the closing value of inventory.
The fixed manufacturing overhead per unit=$58,650/11,500
=$5.1
Invariably, each item of closing inventory under absorption costing has $5.1 of fixed cost included in it.
The difference between both methods' profit figures $35,750 ($125,750-$90,000)
number of increase in closing inventory=difference in profit figures/fixed cost per unit
number of increase in closing inventory=$35,750/$5.1
=7,010
In 2014, Steinrotter Construction Corp. began construction work under a 3-year contract. The contract price was $1,800,000. Steinrotter uses the percentage-of-completion method for financial accounting purposes. The income to be recognized each year is based on the proportion of cost incurred to total estimated costs for completing the contract. The financial statement presentations relating to this contract at December 31, 2014, are shown below.Balance Sheet Accounts receivable $32,400 Construction in process 117,000 Less: Billings 110,700 Costs and recognized profit in excess of billings 6,300 Income Statement Income (before tax) on the contract recognized in 2014 $35,100 How much cash was collected in 2014 on this contract?
Answer:
$78,300
Explanation:
The computation of the cash collected is shown below:
Cash collection = Billings cost - account receivable
= $110,700 - $32,400
= $78,300
Since we have to compute the cash collected so we deduct the account receivable from the billings so that the accurate amount could arrive

EcoSacks manufactures cloth shopping bags. The controller is preparing a budget for the coming year and asks for your assistance. The following costs and other data apply to bag production:
Direct materials per bag 1.0 yard cotton at $4 per yard 0.2 yards canvas finish at $12 per yard Direct labor per bag 0.5 hour at $18 per hour Overhead per bag Total overhead per unit $3.40
You learn that equipment costs and building occupancy are fixed and are based on a normal production of 600,000 units per year. Other overhead costs are variable. Plant capacity is sufficient to produce 750,000 units per year.
Labor costs per hour are not expected to change during the year. However, the cotton supplier has informed EcoSacks that it will impose a 20 percent price increase at the start of the coming budget period. No other costs are expected to change.
During the coming budget period, EcoSacks expects to sell 540,000 bags. Finished goods inventory is targeted to increase from the current balance of 120,000 units to 210,000 units to prepare for an expected sales increase the year after next as a result of legislation in several states regarding plastic bags. Production will occur evenly throughout the year. Inventory levels for cotton and canvas are expected to remain unchanged throughout the year. There is no work-in-process inventory.
Required
Prepare a production budget and estimate the materials, labor, and overhead costs for the coming year.
Answer:
A.
Full Year production plan = 630,000
And Monthly production = 630,000 / 12 = 52,500 units
B.
Total Material costs = $4,536,000
C.
Total Labor Costs = $5,670,000
D.
Overheads = $2,142,000
Explanation:
Ecosacks
Production plan
Opening Stock = 120,000
Planned sales volume = 540,000
Therefore production required to cover sales = sales plan minus Opening stock = 420,000 units
Expected closing stock = 210,000
We will have to produce additional 210,000 units to achieve this closing stock
= 420,000 + 210,000 = 630,000 units.
Production is expected to stay even all year through;
This implies monthly production = 630,000 / 12 = 52,500 units
B.
Material costs.
Cotton: 1 yard makes 1 bag and it is priced at 20% higher from last year ($4 x 120%) per yard
Cotton costs = 630,000units x 1yd x ($4 x 120%) = $3,024,000
Canvas Finish: 0.2 yard required for 1 bag and it is priced at $12 per yard
Canvas finish cost = 630,000 x 0.2 x 12 = $1,512,000
Total Material costs = $4,536,000
C.
Labor costs = 0.5hr per bag and it costs $18 per hour
Labour costs = 0.5 x 18 x 630,000

Overhead costs = $3.40 x 630,000 = $2,142,000
In order to prepare the production budget and estimate the cost for the coming year, the total units required would be 630,000 bags due to sales and inventory requirement.
The cost per bag is estimated to be $19.20 considering an increase in cotton price and unchanged labour and overhead costs. Thus, the total cost for the coming year is estimated to be $12,096,000.
Explanation:To prepare a production budget we need to consider the sales, the target finish goods inventory, and the beginning finished goods inventory.
As Ecosacks plans to sell 540,000 units and wants to maintain an ending inventory of 210,000 units, while the beginning inventory is 120,000 units, the total units required would be 630,000 bags (540,000 units to be sold + 210,000 units ending inventory - 120,000 units beginning inventory).
The production will occur evenly throughout the year.
Let's turn to estimating the costs for the coming year. We start by calculating the cost per bag.
The cotton cost per bag will increase by 20% (from $4 to $4.8) and the canvas cost remains the same.
The total material cost per bag comes out to be $6.8 (1.0 yard cotton at $4.8 per yard +0.2 yards canvas finish at $12 per yard).
The labor cost per bag is $9 ($18 per hour * 0.5-hour per bag). Overhead cost per bag is given as $3.4.
Hence, the total cost per bag is $19.20 ($6.8 material + $9 labor + $3.4 overhead).
Finally, the total cost for the coming year can be estimated by multiplying the cost per bag with the total units required i.e. $19.20 * 630,000 units = $12,096,000.

If people hold equal amounts of currency and demand deposits and banks maintain 100 percent reserves, the quantity of money is $ . If people hold all money as demand deposits and banks maintain a reserve ratio of 12.5 percent, the quantity of money is $ . If people hold equal amounts of currency and demand deposits and banks maintain a reserve ratio of 12.5 percent, the quantity of money is $ .
Answer:
a) 900 dollar as all is M0
b) 900 as the deposit have no multiplier effect
c) 900 as there is no multiplier effect
d) 7,200 taking into consideration the multipler effect from the bank deposit.
e) 4,050 considering the deposit multiplier effect
Explanation:
a; b ; c ) as there is no multiplier effect the quantity of money matches the nominal currency.
d)
M0 (currency and coins) 0
M1 900 / 0.125 = 7,200
e)
currency : 900 / 2 = 450 M0
deposit :
450 / 0.125 = 3,600 M1
Total 4,050
Final answer:
The quantity of money in Elmendyn varies with banking practices: $900 as currency or with 100% reserves, $7200 with demand deposits at 12.5% reserves, and $4050 with equal parts currency and demand deposits at 12.5% reserves.
Explanation:
The economic activities in Elmendyn involving $1 bills, request an understanding of how the money supply can change based on different banking scenarios. Here's how the quantity of money is calculated:
If all money is held as currency, the quantity of money is simply the total number of bills, which is $900.If all money is held as demand deposits and banks maintain 100 percent reserves, the quantity of money remains $900, as no new money is created.If people hold equal amounts of currency and demand deposits and banks also maintain 100 percent reserves, the quantity of money is still $900, as there's no lending to increase the supply.If all money is held as demand deposits and banks maintain a reserve ratio of 12.5 percent, the money multiplier is 1 / 0.125 = 8. Therefore, the quantity of money increases to $900 * 8 = $7200.If people hold equal amounts of currency and demand deposits and banks maintain a reserve ratio of 12.5 percent, half of the $900 is in currency, and the other half can be multiplied. Thus, the total quantity of money is $450 in currency + $450 * 8 from demand deposits = $4050.The money multiplier effect comes into play when banks hold less than 100 percent in reserves and loan out the rest, leading to an increase in the quantity of money in the multi bank system.
Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 6.80 pounds $ 3.00 per pound $ 20.40 Direct labor 0.40 hours $ 13.00 per hour $ 5.20 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: Thirteen thousand two hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound. The company produced only 1,320 units, using 11,880 pounds of material.
Required:
1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month.
2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct material:
Standard Quantity= 6.8 pounds per unit
Standard cost= $3 per pound
Direct labor:
Standard hours= 0.40
Standard cost= $13 per hour
Direct material purchased= 13,200 punds
Direct material used= 11,880 pounds
Direct material cost= $2.90 per pound.
Production= 1,320 units
With the information provided, we can only calculate the direct material price and quantity variance. We don't have the actual direct labor hours and costs.
To calculate the direct material variances, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.9)*13,200= $1,320 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6.8*1,320 - 11,880)*3
Direct material quantity variance= (8,976 - 11,880)*3= $8,712 unfavorable

Flash EminusCard Manufacturing manufactures software parts for the computer software systems that produce eminuscards. The Flash II part is currently manufactured in the Computer Department. The Data Department also produces the part and the plant has excess capacity to produce the Flash II part. The current market price of the Flash II part is $ 500. The managerial accountant reported the following manufacturing costs and variable expense data: Flash EminusCard Manufacturing Manufacturing Costs and Variable Expense Report Flash Component Direct materials $ 860 Direct labor $ 80 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 150 Fixed manufacturing overhead (current production level) $ 155 Variable selling expenses (only incurred on sales to outside consumers) $ 132 If the highest acceptable transfer price is $ 500 in the market, what is the lowest acceptable inminushouse price the Data Department should receive to produce the part inminushouse at the Computer Department?
Answer:
$1,090
Explanation:
The lowest acceptable price for Data Department is the minimum transfer transfer price.
The minimum transfer price is defined as a price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that would be the best for the company.
Mini Transfer price = Variable unit costs - internal savings + opportunity cost
Note : the plant has excess capacity to produce the Flash II part, therefore there is no opportunity cost
Mini Transfer price = $ 860+ $ 80 + $ 150
= $1,090
Therefore the lowest acceptable house price the Data Department should receive to produce the part in house at the Computer Department is $1,090
Final answer:
The lowest acceptable inminushouse price the Data Department should receive to produce the Flash II part inminushouse at the Computer Department is $1222, which covers the variable costs of production.
Explanation:
To determine the lowest acceptable inminushouse price the Data Department should receive to produce the Flash II part inminushouse at the Computer Department, we need to consider the variable costs involved in the production. The variable manufacturing costs for the Flash II part include direct materials, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead, and variable selling expenses. Adding these costs together, we get $860 (direct materials) + $80 (direct labor) + $150 (variable manufacturing overhead) + $132 (variable selling expenses) = $1222.
Therefore, the lowest acceptable inminushouse price the Data Department should receive is $1222, which covers the variable costs of production. This ensures that the Data Department covers its expenses when producing the Flash II part inminushouse at the Computer Department.
During its first year of operations, the McCormick Company incurred the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials, $5 per unit, Direct labor, $3 per unit, Variable overhead, $4 per unit, and Fixed overhead, $189,000. The company produced 21,000 units, and sold 15,500 units, leaving 5,500 units in inventory at year-end. Income calculated under variable costing is determined to be $325,000. How much income is reported under absorption costing?
Answer:
Net operating income= 374,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials= $5
Direct labor= $3 per unit
Variable overhead= $4 per unit
Fixed overhead= $189,000.
The company produced 21,000 units, and sold 15,500 units
Under the absorption costing method, the unitary product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and total unitary overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead:
Unitary fixed overhead= 189,000/21,000= $9
Now, we can calculate the unitary product cost
unitary product cost= 5+3+4+9= $21
We need to determine the sales, therefore, we will reverse engineer the variable costing income statement:
Net operating income= 325,000
Fixed costs= 189,000
Variable costs= (5+3+4)*15,500= 186,000
=total sales= $700,000
Finally, we determine the net operating income under absorption costing:
Sales= 700,000
Cost of goods sold= (21*15,500)= (325,500)
Net operating income= 374,500
Answer:
$374,500
Explanation:
Variable costing consider all variable costs as production cost and Absorption costing consider all the cost incurred in production either variable or fixed as production cost.
Cost of Product
Direct materials, $5 per unit
Direct labor, $3 per unit
Variable overhead, $4 per unit
Fixed overhead per unit $9 per unit
Total Product cost $21 per unit
Variable cost per unit
Direct materials, $5 per unit
Direct labor, $3 per unit
Variable overhead, $4 per unit
Total Product cost $12 per unit
Variable costing
Net Income = Sales - variable - Fixed Costs
$325,000 = Sales - (15,500 x $12 ) - $189,000
$325,000 = Sales - $186,000 - $189,000
$325,000 = Sales - $375,000
Sales = $325,000 + $375,000
Sales = $700,000
Fixed overhead per unit = $189,000 / 21,000 = $9 per unit
Under absorption costing
Sales = $700,000
Cost of Sales = (15,500 x $21 ) = $325,500
Net Income = $700,000 - $325,500 = $374,500

Final answer:
With an increase in market interest rates to 9%, you would expect to pay less than the bond's $10,000 face value. To calculate the price, discount the bond's remaining cash flows at the new rate, yielding a value of approximately $9,724.77 that you might be willing to pay for it.
Explanation:
The scenario presents a situation where a local water company issued a $10,000 ten-year bond at an interest rate of 6%. When contemplating the purchase of this bond one year before its maturity, the current market interest rate has risen to 9%. This rise in interest rates implies that the market value of the bond will decrease below its face value because investors can obtain a higher return elsewhere. Therefore, you would expect to pay less than the $10,000 face value for the bond.
To calculate the price you would be willing to pay for this bond, you would discount the remaining cash flows (one year of interest plus the principal at maturity) back at the current market rate of 9%. The bond would pay $600 in interest (6% of $10,000), and the repayment of the $10,000 principal at the end of the year. The calculation is as follows:
Present value of interest payment: $600 / (1 + 0.09) = $550.46Present value of principal repayment: $10,000 / (1 + 0.09) = $9,174.31Adding these together gives you a value you might be willing to pay for the bond:
$550.46 + $9,174.31 = $9,724.77
A purely competitive wheat farmer can sell any wheat he grows for $25 per bushel. His five acres of land show diminishing returns because some are better suited for wheat production than others. The first acre can produce 1,000 bushels of wheat, the second acre 900, the third 800, and so on.
How many bushels will each of the farmer’s five acres produce?
Answer:
4,000 bushels of wheat
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price per bushel of wheat = $25
His land follows diminishing returns as some are better suited for wheat production than others.
First acre of land produce = 1,000
Second acre of land produce = 900
Third acre of land produce = 800
As the land is following diminishing returns and it can be seen from the above information that there is a reduction of 100 bushel of wheat as we are moving from one acre of land to other acre of land.
Similarly,
Fourth acre of land yield = 700
Fifth acre of land produce = 600
Therefore, the total bushels of wheat produce by each of the farmer’s five acres is calculated as follows:
= First acre of land produce + Second acre of land produce + Third acre of land produce + Fourth acre of land produce + Fifth acre of land produce
= 1,000 + 900 + 800 + 700 + 600
= 4,000 bushels of wheat
Caleb purchased his first home for $420,000. He made a 10% down payment and financed the remaining purchase price. The terms of the loan were as follows: 30 year loan Payments made monthly Interest charged at 9% convertible monthly In which month is the first payment for which the principal component is greater than half of the payment?
Answer:
In 269th Payment the principal component is greater than half of the payment
Explanation:
Amortization schedule is attached please find it.
The loan payment includes the interest and principal portion. After deducting the interest on the due balance the residual amount is paid towards the principal.
Loan is paid per month, the amount of each payment can be calculated as follow:
Loan Payment per month = r ( PV ) / 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n
r = rate per period = 9% per year = 0.75% per month
n = number months = 30 years x 12 months per year = 360 Months
PV = present value of all payments = $420,000
P = payment per month = ?
P = 0.75% ( $420,000 x 90% ) / 1 - ( 1 + 0.75% )^-360
P = $3,041.47 per month
In a response to public outcry over the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) extent and abuse of power, the Federal government has decided to disband the IRS in favor of creating a new administrative agency to oversee taxation. As a business owner, what steps might you be able to take to ensure there are control’s and limits to the agency’s power? How does this compare with the controls available to branches of the government?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
As business or company owner there’s a good need to have legal and litigation team comprising of solicitors general, Auditors, and forensic risk manager who can help out in any needs relating to IRS notices and undue Harassment by official legally and prive their warrants to be false.
One must invest in strong compliance teams and establish stringent framework to comply with and pursue ethical audit requirements to avoid any ambiguity or IRS agencies investigation.
However various branches of government can raid businesses with strong evidence or information about any unscrupulous activities and can ask for investigation and further joint inquiries.
If business owner doesn't agree to any allegation he may seek help from legal team regarding charge sheet issued and avail various counseling benefits to avoid loss of brand image and punitive damages.
As a business owner, engaging with the rulemaking process, advocating for transparency, and using legal action are good ways to enforce controls and limits on a new administrative agency. These methods are mirrored by the checks and balances found within the branches of government.
Explanation:As a business owner, there are a variety of strategies that can be employed to ensure there are controls and limits to the new administrative agency's power. The first step would be to engage with the rulemaking process for the new agency by submitting comments, testifying at public hearings, or participating in public meetings. This can help influence the agency’s rules and policies, and can also allow you to contribute to setting the decision-making boundaries for the agency. In addition, you could use legal action as a way to challenge decisions made by the new agency, and also advocate for transparency within the agency, as this helps to maintain checks and balances.
These methods can be compared to the controls that are available to branches of government. For example, the executive, legislative, and judicial branches all have checks and balances on each other. The executive branch can veto legislation, the legislative branch can override vetoes and impeachment officials, and the judicial branch can declare acts unconstitutional.

In 2009, based on concepts similar to those used to estimate U.S. employment figures, the Japanese adult non- institutionalized population was 110.272 million, the labor force was 65.36 million, and the number of people employed was 62.242 million. According to these numbers, the Japanese labor-force participation rate and unemployment rate were about
A 56.4% and 2.8%.
B 56.4% and 4.8%.
C 59.3% and 2.8%.
D 59.3% and 4.8%.
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Japanese adult non- institutionalized population = 110.272 million
Labor force = 65.36 million
Number of people employed = 62.242 million
Labor force participation rate is calculated as the percent of adult population involved in the labor force.
Labor force participation rate:
= (Labor force ÷ adult non- institutionalized population) × 100
= (65.36 ÷ 110.272) × 100
= 0.5927 × 100
= 59.27% or 59.3%
Unemployment rate is calculated as the percent of people unemployed among the labor force.
Number of people unemployed:
= Total labor force - Number of employed
= 65.36 - 62.242
= 3.118 million
Unemployment rate:
= (Number of people unemployed ÷ Labor force) × 100
= (3.118 ÷ 65.36) × 100
= 0.0477 × 100
= 4.77% or 4.8%
Finer Company uses a sales journal, a purchases journal, a cash receipts journal, a cash disbursements journal, and a general journal. The following transactions occur in the month of May.May. 2 Sold merchandise costing $400 to B. Facer for $600 cash, invoice no. 5703.5 Purchased $2,450 of merchandise on credit from Marchant Corp.7 Sold merchandise costing $1,080 to J.

Taylor for $707, terms n/30, invoice no. 5706.Journalize the May transactions that should be recorded in the sales journal assuming the perpetual inventory system is used.
Final answer:
To journalize Finer Company's May sales transactions in the sales journal, only those involving sale of merchandise are included, specifically sales made on May 2, 7, 12, and 25, with total sales amounts recorded regardless of the cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
Journalizing Sales Transactions
To journalize the transactions for Finer Company that should be recorded in the sales journal for the month of May, we'll focus on transactions involving the sale of merchandise which are relevant to the perpetual inventory system. We will ignore non-merchandise transactions such as borrowing cash or selling equipment. Here are the appropriate entries:
May 2: Sold merchandise for $600 cash.
May 7: Sold merchandise on account for $1,566, terms 2/10, n/30.
May 12: Sold merchandise on account for $432, terms n/30.
May 25: Sold merchandise on account for $707, terms n/30.
For the sales on credit, the amounts to be recorded are the total sales amounts, not the cost of the goods sold. Therefore, the following entries are to be made in the sales journal:
Date: 05/02, Account Debited: Cash, Invoice No.: 5703, Amount: $600
Date: 05/07, Account Debited: Accounts Receivable - J. Dryer, Invoice No.: 5704, Amount: $1,566
Date: 05/12, Account Debited: Accounts Receivable - R. Lamb, Invoice No.: 5705, Amount: $432
Date: 05/25, Account Debited: Accounts Receivable - T. Taylor, Invoice No.: 5706, Amount: $707
Note that the transaction from May 16 where J. Dryer pays for a purchase does not belong in the sales journal since it is a cash receipt, not a sale.
