Answer: D) It increases liabilities and decreases stockholders' equity by $1.2 million each.
Explanation:
Even though the company has not paid for the advertisement, the expense has already been incurred and by the Accrual principle of accounting it needs to be recorded.
It will therefore be recorded as an expense which will reduce the Income for the year which is a Stockholder equity account so therefore it will reduce the Stockholder account by $1.2 million.
Because the company has not yet paid for the advert, the amount have to be recorded as a liability to the company so liabilities will increase by $1.2 million.
Consider, in 2010, there was only one movie produced by Marvel Studios(Iron Man 2). In 2018, there were three (Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man and the Wasp).
a) Find a linear model that shows how many MCU films are made each year (use xx to be years since 2010) using the data above.
b) With the model found in (a), how many MCU films should release in 2020?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) A linear model is represented in the form y = mx + c, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the rate of change and c is the value of y at x = 0.
Since x = years since 2010, let y = number of movies produced
In 2010 (x = 0), y = 1, this can be represented as (0, 1)
In 2018 (x = 8), y = 3, it can be represented as (8, 3)
Hence, with the points (0,1) and (8, 3) using the formula:
[tex]y-1=\frac{3-1}{8-0}(x-0)\\ \\y-1=\frac{1}{4}x\\\\y=\frac{1}{4}x+1[/tex]
b) In 2020 (x = 10), the number of films that would be released is:
[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x+1\\ \\y=\frac{1}{4}(10)+1\\ \\y=2.5+1\\\\y=3.5\\\\y=3[/tex]
3 movies would be released
Winston Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 50,000 hours. The total machine hours for the year were 54,300. The actual factory overhead for the year was $1,375,000. Determine the over- or underapplied amount for the year.
a. $118,250 overapplied
b. $17,500 underapplied
c. $118,250 underapplied
d. $17,500 overapplied
Answer:
b. $17,500 underapplied
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the over- or underapplied amount for the year
First step is to find the Pre determined overhead rate using this formula
Pre determined overhead rate = Estimated factory overheads / Estimated machine hours
Pre determined overhead rate = $1,250,000 / 50000
Pre determined overhead rate = $25 per machine hour.
Second step is to find the Factory overhead amount applied using this formula
Factory overhead amount applied = Pre determined overhead rate * Actual machine hours
Factory overhead amount applied = $25 * 54,300
Factory overhead amount applied = $1,357,500
The last step is to calculate for the over- or underapplied amount for the year
Using this formula
Under applied overhead = Applied overhead - Actual overhead
Let plug in the formula
Under applied overhead = $1,357,500 - $1,375,000
Under applied overhead= $17,500
Therefore the underapplied amount for the year is $17,500
Sheridan Decorating uses a job order cost system to collect the costs of its interior decorating business. Each client’s consultation is treated as a separate job. Overhead is applied to each job based on the number of decorator hours incurred. Listed below are data for the current year. Estimated overhead $1,040,000 Actual overhead $1,039,800 Estimated decorator hours 40,000 Actual decorator hours 39,500 The company uses the account Operating Overhead in place of Manufacturing Overhead and the account Service Contracts in Process in place of Work in Process. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. Predetermined overhead rate
Answer: $26 per hour
Explanation:
The Predetermined rate is used by the company to apportion overhead to Work in process inventory and is calculated before production starts and for this reason uses estimated figures.
Predetermined Overhead rate = Estimated overhead/ Estimated decorator hours
= 1,040,000/ 40,000
= $26 per hour
By observing an individual’s behavior in the situations outlined below, determine therelevant income elasticities of demand for each good (i.e., whether the good is normal orinferior). If you cannot determine the income elasticity, what additional informationmight you need?
a. Bill spends all his income on books and coffee. He finds $20 while rummagingthrough a used paperback bin at the bookstore. He immediately buys a newhardcover book of poetry.
b. Bill loses $10 he was going to use to buy a double espresso. He decides to sell hisnew book at a discount to his friend and use the money to buy coffee.
c. Being bohemian becomes the latest teen fad. As a result, coffee and book pricesrise by 25 percent. Bill lowers his consumption of both goods by the same percentage.
d. Bill drops out of art school and gets an M.B.A. instead. He stops reading books anddrinking coffee. Now he reads The Wall Street Journal and drinks bottled mineralwater
Answer:
Normal goods are those goods which see their demand rise when income rises and fall when income falls. Inferior goods on the other hand will see their demand fall when income rises and vice versa.
a. Book = Normal Good
Coffee = Neutral good
The demand for Books increased when Bill had more money which makes it a normal good.
The demand for coffee did not change when new income came thereby making it a neutral good.
b. Book = Normal Good
Coffee = Inferior good
The demand for Books decreased when Bill had less money which makes it a normal good.
The demand for coffee increased when Bill's income reduced thereby making it an inferior good.
c. Book = Normal Good = Coffee
Both coffee and books are normal goods because Bill is buying less of them when their prices increase because it means that Bill has less income to spend on them.
d. More information needed.
We are unable to tell which goods are normal or inferior as we are not given information on the relative changes in demand as a result of income changing.

Exercise 3-8 Applying Overhead; Journal Entries; Disposing of Underapplied or Overapplied Overhead [LO3-1, LO3-2, LO3-4] The following information is taken from the accounts of Latta Company. The entries in the T-accounts are summaries of the transactions that affected those accounts during the year. Manufacturing Overhead (a) 499,968 (b) 416,640 Bal. 83,328 Work in Process Bal. 5,360 (c) 778,000 319,500 93,500 (b) 416,640 Bal. 57,000 Finished Goods Bal. 33,000 (d) 674,000 (c) 778,000 Bal. 137,000 Cost of Goods Sold (d) 674,000 The overhead that had been applied to production during the year is distributed among Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold as of the end of the year as follows:
Work in Process, ending $ 27,360
Finished Goods, ending 65,760
Cost of Goods Sold 323,520
Overhead applied $ 416,640
For example, of the $57,000 ending balance in work in process, $27,360 was overhead that had been applied during the year. Required:
1. Identify reasons for entries (a) through (d).
2. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry.
3. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry.
Answer:
1. a would be the Actual Manufacturing cost for the year
b would be the Manufacturing Overhead applied to the Work in Process
c is the Cost of Goods Manufactured in the year
d is the Cost of Goods Sold as shown in the same named account.
2.
DR Cost of Goods Sold $83,328
CR Manufacturing Overhead $83,328
3.
DR Work in Process $5,472
Finished Goods $13,152
Cost of Goods sold $64,704
CR Manufacturing Overhead $83,328
Working
Overhead is distributed as follows;
Work in process = 27,360/ 416,640 * 83,328 = $5,472
Finished Goods = 65,760/ 416,640 * 83,328 = $13,152
Cost of Goods sold = 323,520/416,640 * 83,328 = $64,704
A faculty member is retiring, and a committee has been established to select a replacement. HR conducts candidate recruitment, and the selection committee proceeds through the interview process. However, the dean has already made the decision to select David, one of his friends who is in the interview pool, for the open position. Since David is not fully qualified for the position, the dean rewrites the job description to fit David’s qualifications. Discuss the ethics of this situation using the distributive justice framework of moral principles.
Answer:
The dean has violated the brights of other members to be picked for the violation through this act of favoritism.
Explanation:
This dean has gone ahead to rewrite David's description. By so doing he has altered the job description to favor david. This shows a bias to David in the side of this dean thereby causing him to violate the act that says that there should be no discrimination or bias of my form.
Rewriting the job description to favor david is against the ethics of the distributive justice framework which says that the distribution of goods in a society must be done In an equitable manner for all. 2 principles of this are applicable here. The rights based justice and also the legal justice. Rights based justice demands that the rights of people bare respected which the dean has clearly also violated.

Answer:
C. Both of the above
Explanation:
Insurance policy and repair order are both contracts.
The insurance policy is an agreement between the insurer (person or company) and the policyholder (the person who takes the cover). On the other hand, the repair order is also a contract because it is an agreement between the company who will provide the service repair and the customer who will receive the service.
As long as both parties consent to the agreement, are capable of doing what is asked in the agreement and that the agreement is legal, then it is considered a contract.
Depreciation Expense on the Heating and Air Conditioning Equipment for the factory of $50,000 is allocated to five departments. The cost-allocation base for this expense is the number of cubic feet, which equals 100,000 cubic feet. Information for five departments is below: Department Square Feet Cubic Feet Department A 15,000 15,000 Department B 5,000 5,000 Department C 30,000 20,000 Department D 20,000 35,000 Department E 10,000 25,000 How much Depreciation Expense is allocated to Department A
Answer: $7,500
Explanation:
Cost allocation base is Cubic feet which is 100,000 ft³.
Department A has 15,000 ft³ of the 100,000 ft³.
Depreciation is $50,000
Depreciation for Department A is therefore;
= (15,000/100,000) * 50,000
= $7,500

A company currently has two product lines and is considering dropping
Product XYZ. Product ABC Product XYZ
Total Sales revenue $90,000 $60,000 $150,000
Cost of goods sold (all variable) $35,000 $40,000 $75,000
Contribution margin $55,000 $20,000 $75,000
Fixed costs $30,000 $25,000 $55,000
Operating Profit (Loss) $25,000 ($5,000) $20,000
Of the $55,000 of total fixed costs, $30,000 is rent. Each product is allocated $15,000. The rent will continue even if the product is dropped. The rest of the fixed costs are related to each product and would be saved if the product was dropped.
Required:
Should Product XYZ be dropped?
Answer:
Product XYZ should not be dropped. Because it is bringing a profit contribution of $5,000 towards fixed costs.
Explanation:
Calculating the Profit Contribution of Product XYZ
Sales revenue $60,000
Less Cost of Goods Sold ($40,000)
Contribution Margin $20,000
Less Traceable Fixed Costs ($30,000 - $15,000) ($15,000)
Profit Contribution $5,000
Hint : Remove the fixed cost element centrally controlled from Product XYZ fixed costs.
Since Product XYZ is bringing a profit contribution of $5,000 towards the fixed costs, it should not be dropped.
Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] During April, the first production department of a process manufacturing system completed its work on 310,000 units of a product and transferred them to the next department. Of these transferred units, 62,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 248,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 70% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 84,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 90% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and conversion used in the first production department for April using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
Computation of Equivalent units
units Materials Conversion
Started & completed 248,000 248,000 248,000
Ending inventory 84,000 75,600 33,600
Equivalent units 323,600 281,600
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units transferred out = 310,000
Beginning inventory = 62,000 (70% materials and 30% conversion)

Possible causes for price and efficiency variances. You have been invited to interview for an internship with an international food manufacturing company. When you arrive for the interview, you are given the following information related to a fictitious Belgian chocolatier for the month of June. The choco-latier manufactures truffles in 12-piece boxes. The production is labor intensive, and the delicate nature of the chocolate requires a high degree of skill.ActualBoxes produced 10,000Direct materials used in production 2,150,000 gActual direct material cost 60,200 euroActual direct manufacturing labor-hours 1,100Actual direct manufacturing labor cost 12,650 euroStandardsPurchase price of direct materials 0.03 euro/gMaterials per box 200 gWage rate 12 euro/hourBoxes per hour 10Please respond to the following questions as if you were in an interview situation:1. Calculate the materials efficiency and price variance and the wage and labor efficiency variances for the month of June.2. Discuss some possible causes of the variances you have calculated. Can you make any possible connection between the material and labor variances
Answer:
Explanation:
Actual Boxes produced 10,000
Direct materials used in production 2,150,000 g
Actual direct material cost 60,200 euro
Actual direct manufacturing labor-hours 1,100
Actual direct manufacturing labor cost 12,650 euro
Standards
Purchase price of direct materials 0.03 euro/g
Materials per box 200 g
Wage rate 12 euro/hour
Boxes per hour 10
1) materials price variance = (actual price - budgeted price) × actual quantity = (0.028 - 0.03) × 2,150,000 = -4,300 € favorable variance
materials efficiency variance = (actual quantity - budgeted quantity) × standard price = (2,150,000 - 2,000,000) × 0.03 = 4,500 € unfavorable
labor price variance = (actual rate - standard rate) x actual hours = (11.50 - 12) x 1,100 = -550 € favorable variance
labor efficiency variance = (actual hours - standard hours) x standard rate = (1,100 - 1,000) x 12 = 1,200 € unfavorable
2) Since the materials price variance is favorable, i can assume that they purchased a lower quality materials. That resulted in more labor hours required to produce chocolates + more materials needed to produce the same amount of chocolates. Sometimes when you save money by purchasing cheaper materials or hiring unskilled labor, total costs will increase because their efficiency is lower.
XYZ Corporation has a 6 1/2% convertible bond outstanding that is convertible into 40 shares of common stock. The bond is currently selling in the market at 85 ($850) and the common stock is selling at 21. The XYZ Corporation is offering its existing bondholders a new straight (nonconvertible) bond paying 6 1/2% that matures at the same time as the convertible bond. The effect of the successful completion of the proposal would be to:_________
a) Reduce interest costs
b) Reduce potential dilution
c) Have no effect on interest costs
d) Increase dilution
Answer:
b) Reduce potential dilution
c) Have no effect on interest costs
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that the corporation is offering its existing bondholders for paying 6 1/2% this matured at the same time just like the convertible bond.
So here if the proposal is completed so the impact would be reduction in the potential dilution also it would not have impact on the effect on the interest rate and the same is to be considered
How can the federal reserve influence the interest rate on credit cards?
A. By shutting down credit card companies that set rates too high.
B. By raising taxes on companies that provide high-interest credit cards.
C.By adjusting the discount rate banks pay to borrow.
D.By setting up federal credit card companies with low rates.
Answer:
C. By adjusting the discount rate banks pay to borrow
Explanation:
A P E X
The federal reserve can influence the interest rate on credit cards by raising taxes on companies that provide high-interest credit cards. Thus, option B is appropriate.
The American financial system's heart is the Federal Reserve System. After a string of financial panics prompted the need for centralized supervision of the monetary system to prevent financial crises, it was established on December 23, 1913, following the passage of the Federal Reserve Act.
Banks and other lenders' interest rate-setting processes are influenced by Federal Reserve decisions. To finance anything from a car or home to your purchases using a credit card, higher Fed interest rates equate to more expensive borrowing charges.
Thus, option B is correct.

Item7 1.25 points Return to questionItem 7Item 7 1.25 points In 1898, the first Green Jacket Golf Championship was held. The winner’s prize money was $230. In 2018, the winner’s check was $2,640,000. a. What was the annual percentage increase in the winner’s check over this period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. If the winner’s prize increases at the same rate, what will it be in 2056? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
Answer:
a. 8.10%
b. $50,930,776.45
Explanation:
a. The 2018 prize money can be expressed as a compounded amount of the 1898 amount in the manner;
2,640,000 = 230 * ( 1 + rate) ^ 120 years
Year 2018 - 1898 = 120 years
Solving for rate;
2,640,000/230 = ( 1 + rate) ^ 120 years
( 1 + rate) = (2,640,000/230) ^ 1/120
1 + rate = 1.081016
rate = 0.0810
= 8.10%
b. Number of periods = 2056 - 2018
= 38 years
= 2,640,000 * ( 1 + 8.10%) ^ 38
= $50,930,776.45
