Answer:
The most profitable sales mix is 288,000 standard units and 0 premier units.
Explanation:
8 standard units per hour
4 premier units per hour
36,600 production hours available
For standard units, contribution margin per hour = 8 x $20 = $160
For premier units, contribution margin per hour = 4 x $23 = $92
Therefore, most profitable sales mix = 36,000 hours x 8 units per hour of standard product
= 288,000 standard units and 0 premier units.
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $8 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $5 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is_____________ $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is_________ $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $___________ per bottle.?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that before the tax, 25 million wine bottles were sold at price of $6 per bottle and that after the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month and the consumers pay $8 per bottle which include the tax and producers receive $5 per bottle.
The amount of tax on wine will be the difference between the price consumers pay after the tax and the price producers receive. This will be:
= $8 - $5
= $3 per bottle
The tax burden that falls on the consumers will be difference between price paid after tax and the price which is paid before the tax.
= $8 - $6
= $2 per bottle
The tax burden on the producers will be difference between price received before the tax and price received after the tax.
= $6 - $5
= $1 per bottle

Answer:
Total= $14,635
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost of materials:
January= 14,870
February= 11,690
March= 12,760
Payments for purchases are expected to be made 50% in the month of purchase and 50% in the month following purchase.
The December Accounts Payable balance is $7,200.
To calculate the cash disbursement for January, we need to use the following structure:
Cash collection:
Accounts Payable= 7,200
Cash From January= (14,870*0.5)= 7,435
Total= $14,635

Sarah has a toothache. She believes it may be due to her not having regular dental checkups in the past. She now wants to find a dentist, but does not have one that she has used in the past. Because dentistry has __________ properties, Sarah plans to ask her friends for a recommendation for a dentist they like to be sure that she finds a good one.

Dentistry has a Credence property because it is a Service provided by medical specialized professionals. medical diagnoses and legal services have credence properties, or characteristics. A consumer may find a service with Credence property impossible to evaluate even after purchase and consumption. To reduce this uncertainty, service consumer like Sarah turns to personal sources of information like her friends during the purchase decision process
Bilbo Baggins wants to save money to meet three objectives. First, he would like to be able to retire 30 years from now with retirement income of $28,000 per month for 25 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 10 years at an estimated cost of $380,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 25 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $1,700,000 to his nephew Frodo. He can afford to save $3,300 per month for the next 10 years. If he can earn an EAR of 10 percent before he retires and an EAR of 7 percent after he retires, how much will he have to save each month in years 11 through 30?
Answer:
He would have to save each month in years 11 through 30 the amount of $2,279.60
Explanation:
Because the cash flows occur monthly, we must get the effective monthly rate. One way to do this is to find the APR based on monthly compounding, and then divide by 12. So, the pre-retirement APR is:
EAR = .11 = [1 + (APR/12)] 12- 1;
APR = 12[(1.11) 1/12- 1] = .1048 or 10.48%
And the post-retirement APR is:
EAR = .08 = [1 + (APR/12)] 12 -1
APR = 12[(1.08) 1/12 -1] = .0772 or 7.72%
First, we will calculate how much he needs at retirement. The amount needed at retirement is the PV of the monthly spending plus the PV of the inheritance. The PV of these two cash flows is:
PVA = $24500{1 -[1/(1 + .0772/12) 12(25) ]}/(.0772/12) = $3,252,096.21
PV = $1525,000/[1 + (.0772/12)] 300 = $222,723.58
So, at retirement, he needs:
$3,252,096.21+ $222,723.58= $3474819.79
He will be saving $2,600 per month for the next 10 years until he purchases the cabin. The value of his savings after 10 years will be:
FVA = $2,600[{[1 + (.1048/12)] 12(10) -1}/(.1048/12)] = $547,487.10
After he purchases the cabin, the amount he will have left is:
$547,487.10 -345,000 = $202487.10
He still has 20 years until retirement. When he is ready to retire, this amount will have grown to:
FV = $202487.10[1 + (.1048/12)] 12(20) = $1632023.27
So, when he is ready to retire, based on his current savings, he will be short:
$3474819.79-1632023.27 = $1842796.52
This amount is the FV of the monthly savings he must make between years 10 and 30. So, finding the annuity payment using the FVA equation, we find his monthly savings will need to be:
FVA = $1842796.52 = C [{[ 1 + (.1048/12)] 12(20) -1}/(.1048/12)]
C = $2,279.60
He would have to save each month in years 11 through 30 the amount of $2,279.60

I prepared a general ledger for May in an excel spreadsheet that I attached.
Each of the following is a method by which to allocate joint costs except: Group of answer choices a. Chemical analysis. b. Relative sales value. c. Relative weight, volume, or linear measure. d. Relative marketing costs. g
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Chemical analysis.
Explanation:
To begin with, a chemical analysis consists in the study of chemical composition and structure of substances and it refers to the field of chemistry as its name indicates so therefore that it does not implicate the allocation of joint costs as all of the other methods. Moreover, this type of analysis is considered to be the principal basis technique by which every chemical information is obtanied and there are also two main brances in it, the qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Nickolas Imports recorded a restructuring charge of $21.6 million during fiscal 2014 related entirely to the closing of its California based operations in San Diego and in Tijuana, Mexico. The company's financial statement footnotes indicated that expected employee separation payments amounted to $16.8 million and that fixed asset write-downs accounted for the remainder. Nickolas had never before incurred restructuring charges. At the end of the year, the company's balance sheet included a restructuring accrual liability of $3,600,000. Calculate the cash flow effect of Nickolas’s restructuring during fiscal 2014.
Answer: $13,200,000
Explanation:
Nickolas Import recorded a restructuring charge of $21.6 million.
Of this amount, $16.8 million were for employee separation fees.
When calculating the cash flow effect of the restructuring on Nickolas Imports, the $16.8 million is the relevant account. This is because the Asset write downs that make up the rest of the $21.6 million are not cash items neither can they be accrued like normal expenses or Liabilities so they will not be recorded as an Accrual Liability.
The Net Cashflow effect of Nickolas Imports for the year therefore is,
= 16.8 - 3.6
= $13.2 million.
What this means is that with a restructuring accrual liability of $3,600,000 at the end of the year from an initial Balance of $16.8 million, it means that Nickolas Imports must have settled $13,200,000 during the year to be left with that balance of $3,600,000.
Identify each of the following types of businesses as either job-order or process costing. a. Hospital services b. Custom cabinet making c. Toy manufacturing d. Soft-drink bottling e. Airplane manufacturing (e.g., 767s) f. Personal computer assembly g. Furniture making (e.g., computer desks sold at discount stores) h. Custom furniture making i. Dental services j. Paper manufacturing k. Nut and bolt manufacturing l. Auto repair m. Architectural services n. Landscape design services o. Flashlight manufacturing
Answer:
The answer to the question above is given below:
Explanation:
First, for a better understanding of the type of business to be categorized as job-order or process costing, explanation would be made on what job-order and process costing are.
Job-order costing is used when items produced differ such that each carries a significant cost. Job-order costing systems track costs by job and are used by companies to calculate costs of unique products been produced.
Process costing assigns product costs to departments and is used by companies that produce similar products this ensures a continuous style of production employed. No difference in the products been produced in process costing.
Going by the definition above one can categorize the businesses:
a. Hospital services are a Job-order costing type of business
b. Custom cabinet making is a Job-order costing type of business
c. Toy manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
d. Soft-drink bottling is a Process costing type of business
e. Airplane manufacturing (e.g., 767s) is a Process costing type of business because they produce similar products (767s) that translate to a consistent process. But if the model of the airplane is not specified then it is a Job-order costing type of business.
f. Personal computer assembly is a Job-order costing type of business
g. Furniture making (e.g., computer desks sold at discount stores)
h. Custom furniture making is a Job-order costing type of business
i. Dental services are a Job-order costing type of business
j. Paper manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
k. Nut and bolt manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
l. Auto repair is a Job-order costing type of business
m. Architectural services are a Job-order costing type of business
n. Landscape design services are a Job-order costing type of business
o. Flashlight manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
Nate is a partner in a partnership that received $5,000 of interest income this year. Nate's share of the interest is $1,000, and he should report this income on his individual return as:
Answer:
Interest Income
Explanation:
Based on the described scenario it can be said that Nate should report this income on his individual return as Interest Income. This is the amount of interest that the individual has earned in a specific period of time. This is what Nate has made by collecting his share of the interest and should be reported as such since Income from flow-through entities retains its character when reported on individual returns.
Time Remaining 39 minutes 48 seconds00:39:48 eBookItem 1Item 1 Time Remaining 39 minutes 48 seconds00:39:48 A private, not-for-profit hospital received contributions of $50,000 from donors on June 15, 20X9. The donors stipulated that their contributions be used to purchase equipment for the hospital. As of June 30, 20X9, the end of the hospital's fiscal year, $12,000 of the contributions had been spent on equipment acquisitions. In the hospital's general fund, what account would be credited to recognize the release of the restrictions on the temporarily restricted contributions used to acquire equipment
Answer: Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction.
Explanation:
When the stipulations by a donor have been satisfied, the assets involved can be removed from being restricted to now being unrestricted. The account credited to recognize this is known as the Net assets released from *asset name* acquisition restriction.
In the above case, the company purchased some equipment with the money they were donated which means that the equipment had satisfied the stipulation for which they were donated funds for. The Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction thus needs to be credited.

Compute the inventory at April 30 on each of the following bases. Assume that perpetual inventory records are kept in units only. (1) First-in, first-out (FIFO). (2) Last-in, first-out (LIFO). (3) Average-cost. (Round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 6,548.)
Answer:
1.FIFO 5,631.4
2.LIFO 7,685
3.8.8542 per unit
Explanation:
Coronado Company's
1)First-in, first-out (FIFO)
(520×8.47+ 150×8.18)
= 4,404.4+1,227
= 5,631.4
2)Last-in, first-out (LIFO)
(420×7.30+ 620×7.45)
= 3,066+4,619
= 7,685
3.Cost of goods available for sale
Date Transactions Units ×Rate =Total
Apr-01 Beginning inventory 420 ×$7.30 =$3,066
Apr-04 Purchase 720×$7.45 =$5,363
11-Apr Purchase 620 ×$7.74 =$4,798.8
18-Apr Purchase 520×$7.81 =$4,061.2
26-Apr Purchase 920 ×$8.18= $7,525.6
30-Apr Purchase 520 ×$8.47 $4,404.4
Total: 3,300 $29,219
720+620+520+920+520=3,300
$3,066+5,363+4,798.8+4,061.2+7,525.6+4,404.4 =29,219
Average cost per unit =
Total cost of goods available for sale / Units available for sale
Hence:
$29,219 / 3,300
=8.8542 per unit
g You want to save sufficient funds to generate an annual cash flow of $50,000 a year for 20 years as retirement income. You currently have no retirement savings but plan to save an equal amount each year for the next 30 years until your retirement. How much do you need to save each year if you can earn 8 percent on the savings? (10 Points)
Answer:
You need to save $4,012.45 each year
Explanation:
Pertiuty in 20 years is $50,000.
So the amount must be in account after 30 years saving to enough for above pertiuty is calculated as below:
= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20
= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%
=$50000*9.818
= $490,907
To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:
$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)
= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%
$490,907 = PMT * 122.346
-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346
= $4,012.45
Pablo Management has seven employees, each of whom earns $210 per day. They are paid on Fridays for work completed Monday through Friday of the same week. Near year-end, the seven employees worked Monday, December 31, and Wednesday through Friday, of the same week. The next week, the seven employees worked only four days because New Year's Day was an unpaid Holiday.
Required:
a. Prepare the adjusting entry that would be recorded Monday, December 31, 2013.
b. Prepare the journal entry that would be made to record payment of the employees' wages on Friday, Janyary 4, 2014.
Answer:
a) $1,470 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Credit –Wage Payable.
b) $4,410 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Debit –Wage Payable
Explanation:
Remember, we are told each of the worker earns $210 per day. Therefore
a.To record accrued and current wages.Wages expense = 7 workers × 3 days × $210 = $4,410.
b. To record accrued wages four days Cash = 7 workers × 4 days × $210 = $5,880. For one day (7 workers × $210) = $1,470.
You own a portfolio that has a total value of $130,000 and a beta of 1.28. You have another $49,000 to invest and you would like the beta of your portfolio to decrease to 1.18. What does the beta of the new investment have to be in order to accomplish this
Answer:βB =0.9147=beta of new investment
Explanation:
Total investment= $130,000 + $49,000= $179,000
Using
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
Where βp is the portfolio beta coefficient,
wA is the weight of the first investment,
βA is the beta coefficient of first investment;
wB is the weight of the second investment,
βB is the beta coefficient of second investment
but weight of investment is stock value/ total investment x 100
wA= 130,000/ 179,000X 100=72.63%
WB= 49,000/179,000 X100=27.374%
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
1.18=(72.63%*1.28)+(27.374% XβB )
1.18=0.9296+0.27374βB
βB i=(1.18-0.9298)/0.27374
βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

Quantum Logistics. Inc., a wholesale distributor, is considering the construction of a new warehouse to serve the southeastern geographic region near the Alabama-Georgia border. There are three cities being considered. After site visits and a budget analysis, the expected income and costs associated with locating in each of the cities have been determined. The life of the warehouse is expected to be 12 years and MARR is 15 percent/year. What is the future worth of each site based on future worth ranking? Which city should be recommended?
Answer:
Anniston City should be recommended as it has higher future value.
Explanation:
Using the formula:
Future value of annuity = C * { [(1+r)^n - 1] / r } C where C= initial cost, r= interest rate (MARR=15%), n= 12)
- Langrange City

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.
Jaune Magazine (JM) must decide whether or not to publish a tell-all story about a celebrity. If the story ends up having major impact, JM will realize substantial profits from additional magazine sales, subscriptions, and advertising revenues. However, if JM publishes the story, JM will face a lawsuit; if it loses the suit, the penalties could be substantial. The tree below summarizes JM's decision.
The EMV of publishing the story is $10,000. Based on this EMV, JM should publish the story. If the publisher chooses not to publish the story, which of the following best describes the publisher's attitude towards this decision?
A) Risk averse.
B) Risk neutral.
C) Risk seeking.
D) Risqué.
Answer:
The correct option is A, risk averse
Explanation:
Risk aversion is a situation where a person undertaking a business or an investor tries as much as possible to limit exposure to losses by taking drastic steps to ensure the losses do not materialize.
The publisher in this case is conscious of facing the lawsuit that could result from publishing story and has taken a precautionary measure by not even venturing into the publishing ,let alone a lawsuit with substantial amount in damages rears its ugly head.
A risk seeking investor would go ahead with the publishing since success could bring a juicy income
Which of the following statements is FALSE about opportunity cost? A. Opportunity cost exists only for goods with monetary values. B. Cost is always foregone opportunity. C. When a person buys two items, the concept of opportunity cost applies even though she can afford to buy both items. D. Opportunity cost is the next best alternative.
Answer:
A. Opportunity cost exists only for goods with monetary values.
Explanation:
Fundamentally, these are costs in economics used in analysis of a project, and it can also be used for calculation of cost benefits. It is generally known to measure or do all calculation that deals with the current and also forgone alternatives in any condition but this is mainly in economics where it is mostly used.
It is said that when a person buys two or more items, the concept of opportunity cost applies even though she can afford to buy both items and also known to be the best alternative. Here also, cost is notified as foregone opportunity.
Use the following information to answer the question: There are three firms in an economy: X, Y, and Z. Firm X buys $400 worth of goods from Firm Y, and $200 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $3 per unit. Firm Y buys $250 worth of goods from Firm X and $250 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $4 per unit. Firm Z buys $100 worth of goods from Firm X and $500 worth of goods from Firm Y to produce 500 units at $2 per unit. Given this information, using the Value Added approach to eliminating intermediate goods and services (in order to avoid double-counting), what is the economy's GDP
Answer:
$1,050
Explanation:
Value Added Approach to calculating the GDP avoids double counting by adding only the value addition of all firms in an economy to obtain the GDP. Value addition for each firm can be calculated by deducting the intermediate purchase of each firm from its intermediate sales as follows:
Firm X value addition = ($250 * 3) - $400 - $200 = $750 - $600 = $150
Firm Y value addition = ($250 * 4) - $250 - $250 = $1,000 - $500 = $500
Firm Z value addition = (500 * 2) - $100 - $500 = $1,000 - $600 = $400
Therefore, we have:
The economy's GDP = $150 + $500 + $400 = $1,050
Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the units-of-production method.
Answer:
$25,800
Explanation:
The units-of-production deprecation method depreciates an asset based on the total units produced each year.
Unit of production depreciation expense = (units produced / total expected units of production) × (cost of asset - salvage value)
(64,500 / 300,000) x ($135,000 - $15,000)
0.215 x $120,000 = $25,800

Richard Palm is the accounting clerk of Olive Limited. He uses the source documents such as purchase orders, sales invoices and suppliers’ invoices to prepare journal vouchers for general ledger entries. Each day he posts the journal vouchers to the general ledger and the related subsidiary ledgers. At the end of each month, he reconciles the subsidiary accounts to their control accounts in the general ledger to ensure they balance. Discuss the internal control weaknesses and risks associated with the above process. (10 marks 300 words)
Answer:
Olive Limited
1) Internal Control Weaknesses: Richard Palm is just an accounting clerk and obviously there is a lack of qualification for him to single-handedly complete his work without supervision. He handles the whole processes of identifying source documents, the accounts involved, and their correctness, preparing the journal, posting to the ledgers, and leger accounts reconciliation. This shows that there is no segregation of duties. There is no personnel that authorizes or reviews Richard's accounting processes. He engages in self-review (reconciliation) of his work.
2) The risks associated with Richard's process are:
a) Richard lacks the required professional experience and qualification to handle most of his work alone. Thus, the risk of misstatement of financial statement elements is high.
b) Since Richard works without appropriate supervision, there is an increased risk of fraudulent behaviors. Richard could post fictitious invoices to the accounting records.
c) Without separation of duties, a single individual handles a transaction from the beginning to the end. This does not augur well for internal controls, which can be easily compromised.
d) Designated managers should be required to authorize certain types of transactions to add an extra layer of responsibility to accounting records. This also proves that transactions have been seen, analyzed, and approved by appropriate authorities. The requirement that large payments and expenses be approved by specific managers stop unscrupulous employees from making large fraudulent transactions with company funds, for example.
e) Richard also self-reviews his work. Thus, it may be difficult for him to identify errors of misstatement. An invoice could be posted more than once in the accounting records without being identified.
Explanation:
Internal controls are business processes that provide reasonable assurance so that several key business objectives are met, processes are operating efficiently, the financial reporting is reliable, and that the business is in compliance with applicable regulations and internal procedures.
Weaknesses occur when there is an absence of internal controls or the controls are not being operated as specified or the control objectives are not being achieved. When any of these are prevalent, risks arise. The risks may lead to intentional and unintentional financial statement misstatements or fraudulent practices.
Strait Co. manufactures office furniture. During the most productive month of the year, 3,300 desks were manufactured at a total cost of $82,000. In the month of lowest production, the company made 1,130 desks at a cost of $59,000. Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are
Answer:
Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are $47,020
Explanation:
Cost at highest level of activity = $82,000.00
Cost at Lowest level of activity = $59,000.00
Highest level of activity = 3,300
Lowest Level of activity = 1,130
Variable cost per unit = $(82,000 - 59,000) ÷ (3,300 -1,130)
Variable cost per unit = $23,000 ÷ 2,170
Variable cost per unit = $10.60
Fixed Costs = $82,000 - (3,300 × 10.60)
Fixed Costs = $47,020
Bill Casler bought a $2000, 9-month certificate of deposit (CD) that would earn 8% annual simple interest. Three months before the CD was due to mature, Bill needed his CD money, so a friend agreed to lend him money and receive the value of the CD when it matured.
Required:
a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?
b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend
Answer:
a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?
$2,120b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend?
$2,068.29Explanation:
interests earned by the CD = $2,000 x 8% x 9/12 = $120
the value of the CD at maturity = $2,000 (principal) + $120 (interests) = $2,120
if the friend wanted to earn 10% on the loan, that is equivalent to 10% x 3/12 = 2.5% for the 3 months
the amount of money received by Bill from his friend = CD's maturity value / (1 + expected interest) = $2,120 / (1 + 2.5%) = $2,120 / 1.025 = $2,068.29
