Calculate the plantwide factory overhead rate for Adirondack Marketing Inc.
a. $6.25 per dlh
b. $14.77 per dlh
c. $0.07 per dlh
d. $25.00 per dlh
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.77 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead cost for the period= $325,000
Estimated total direct labor hours for the period= 22,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 325,000 / 22,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.77 per direct labor hour

The manager of a supermarket meat department finds she has 200 lb of round steak, 800 lb of chuck steak, and 150 lb of pork in stock on Saturday morning. She will use these to make three products: hamburger meat, picnic patties, and meatloaf. The demand for each of these items always exceeds the supermarket supply. Therefore, she will be able to sell off all of however much of her current meat ingredients as she wants to. Hamburger meat must consist of at least 20 percent round steak and at least 50 percent chuck steak by weight. Picnic patties must consist of at least 20 percent pork and at least 50 percent chuck steak by weight. Meatloaf must consist of at least 10 percent round steak, 30 percent pork, and 40 percent chuck. In each product, the remainder is an inexpensive filler, and the supermarket has an unlimited supply of it. The manager wants to know how much of each product she should produce so that the total amount of leftover meat ingredients that need to be carried over can be minimized. Solve this problem using Linear Programming.
a. Production quantity of hamburger meat: ______________
b. Production quantity of picnic patties: _______________
c. Production quantity of meatloaf: ___________________
d. The total quantity of leftover meat: _________________
Answer:
a. Production quantity of hamburger meat: 850 lbs
b. Production quantity of picnic patties: 750 lbs
c. Production quantity of meatloaf: 0 lbs
d. The total quantity of leftover meat: 30 lbs of sound steak
You must also remember that a pound of hamburger meat and picnic patties both have 30% of a filler. So 1,120 pounds of meat can really produce 1,120 / 0.7 = 1,600 pounds of processed meat products.
Explanation:
200 lb of round steak
800 lb of chuck steak
150 lb of pork
hamburger meat:
20% of round steak
50% of chuck steak
picnic patties:
20% of pork
50% of chuck steak
meatloaf:
10% of round steak
30% of pork
40% of chuck steak
x₁ = round steak
x₂ = chuck steak
x₃ = pork
hamburger = 0.2x₁ + 0.5x₂
patties = 0.5x₂ + 0.2x₃
meatloaf = 0.1x₁ + 0.4x₂ + 0.3x₃
you have to maximize the total amount of meat used
M = 0.3x₁ + 1.5x₂ + 0.8x₃
x₁ ≤ 200
x₂ ≤ 800
x₃ ≤ 150
x₁ ≥ 0
x₂ ≥ 0
x₃ ≥ 0
using solver, the solution is:
850 pounds of hamburger meat and 750 pounds of picnic patties
170 pounds of round steak will be used800 pounds of chuck steak 150 pounds of porkYou must also remember that a pound of hamburger meat and picnic patties both have 30% of a filler. So 1,120 pounds of meat can really produce 1,120 / 0.7 = 1,600 pounds of processed meat products.
In its first month of operations, Vaughn Manufacturing made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence:
(1) 340 units at $5,
(2) 440 units at $7, and
(3) 540 units at $8.
Assuming there are 240 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory under
(a) the FIFO method and
(b) the LIFO method.
Vaughn Manufacturing uses a periodic inventory system.
Answer:
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1920[/tex] --- FIFO
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1200[/tex] -- LIFO
Explanation:
Solving (a):
FIFO method
This means that the first items to be listed were sold out and only 240 of the last item is left
This implies that the following units were sold
340 units at $5; 440 units at $7 and (540 - 240) units at $8
So: We're left with
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = 240 * \$8[/tex]
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1920[/tex]
Solving (b):
LIFO method
This means that the last items to be listed were sold out and only 240 of the fist item is left
This implies that the following units were sold
540 units at $8; 440 units at $7 and (340 - 240) units at $5
So: We're left with
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = 240 * \$5[/tex]
[tex]Ending\ Inventory = \$1200[/tex]
Brine, a concentrated aqueous salt solution, is frequently applied to the roads to pre-treat when snow is forecasted. It is known to be more effective when compared with solid ice melting products. Based on your understanding of the concept of freezing point depression, select all the reasons that explain why it is better to use the anti-icing agent brine than using solid ice melting products. It will be helpful to think about storage and dispersion when taking costs into account for the brine and solid ice melting products.
a. Applying brine on roadways accelerates the melting process because salt needs to be moist to be effective.
b. Solids may lead to land pollution while brine does not.
c. Snow storms sometimes start as rain which may wash away the solid ice melting products.
d. The salt in brine sticks to the roadway after the water part evaporates preventing the salt from being blown off by vehicles driving on the road.
e. The cost per ton is higher for solid ice melting products than it is for brine
Answer:
Applying brine on roadways accelerates the melting process because salt needs to be moist to be effective.
The cost per ton is higher for solid ice melting products than it is for brine
The salt in brine sticks to the roadway after the water part evaporates preventing the salt from being blown off by vehicles driving on the road.
Snow storms sometimes start as rain which may wash away the solid ice melting products
Explanation:
Brine is a concentrated salt solution used to remove ice from roads during winter. It functions by lowering the melting point of ice. Since brine is a solution, it works faster and accelerates the melting process because brine needs to be moist to be effective.
Similarly, it does not easily wash off roads as solid melting products does. It tends to stick better on roads even after the water evaporates.
Brine is a concentrated salt solution that is used to melt ice on roads in the winter. It works by reducing the ice's melting point. Because brine must be damp to be effective. it works faster and accelerates the melting process because it is a solution.
So, Option A is correct as it is the correct reason to use brine.
The other options are incorrect as:
Option B is incorrect as solid does not lead to land pollution and brine accelerates the melting process.Option C is incorrect as snowstorms do not wash away the solid ice melting products.Option D is incorrect as salts do not stick to the roadways it just needs to be moist and effective.Option E is incorrect as the cost is not higher.Thus Option A is the correct reason to use brine.

Marilyn County operates on a calendar-year basis. It uses a Capital Projects Fund to account for major capital projects and a Debt Service Fund to accumulate resources to pay principal and interest on general obligation debt. It does not use encumbrance accounting in the Capital Projects Fund. The following transactions occur:
1. On January 1, 2019, Marilyn County issues general obligation bonds in the amount of $1,000,000 to build a community center. The debt will be paid off in 20 equal semiannual installments of $50,000 over a 10-year period commencing October 1, 2019, with interest of 4 percent per annum paid on the outstanding debt.
2. The county realizes that the community center will cost more than it originally anticipated. On May 1, the county transfers $20,000 from its General Fund to its Capital Projects Fund to help meet project costs.
3. Construction is completed on July 1, 2019, and the community center is ready for occupancy. The county pays the contractor a total of $1,020,000 on July 1. The county anticipates that the community center will have a useful life of 20 years.

The following December 31, 2021, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stone Corporation:Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,200Accounts receivable (net) 32,000Inventory 72,000Property, plant, and equipment (net) 180,000Accounts payable 51,000Salaries payable 23,000Paid-in capital 160,000The only asset not listed is short-term investments. The only liabilities not listed are $42,000 notes payable due in two years and related accrued interest of $1,000 due in four months. The current ratio at year-end is 1.5:1.Required:Determine the following at December 31, 2021:1. Total current assets2. Short-term investments3. Retained earnings
Answer:
1.
Total current assets = $112500
2.
Short term investments = $2300
3.
Retained earnings = $15500
Explanation:
1.
The total current assets can be determined using the current ratio provided for 2021. The current ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total current assets by the value of the total current liabilities.
1.5 = Total current assets / (51000 + 23000 + 1000)
1.5 = Total current assets / 75000
1.5 * 75000 = Total current assets
Total current assets = $112500
2.
Short term investments are a part of the current assets. The value of short term investments is,
112500 = 6200 + 32000 + 72000 + Short term investments
112500 = 110200 + Short term investments
112500 - 110200 = Short term investments
Short term investments = $2300
3.
The basic accounting equation states that the total assets is always equal to the value of total liabilities plus total equity.
Total assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
(112500 + 180000) = [(51000 + 23000 + 1000) + 42000] + (160000 + Retained earnings)
292500 = 117000 + 160000 + Retained earnings
Retained earnings = 292500 - 277000
Retained earnings = $15500
Several years ago, Carol Mutter, a cash-basis taxpayer, obtained a mortgage from Weak National Bank to purchase a personal residence. In December 2019, $8,500 of interest was due on the mortgage, but Carol had only $75 in her checking account. On December 31, 2019, she borrowed $8,500 from her sister, Pearl, evidenced by a note, and the proceeds were deposited in her checking account. On the same day, Carol issued a check in the identical amount of $8,500 to Weak Bank for the interest due. Is the interest expense deductible for the 2019 tax year?Prepare (in good form) a research memorandum to the file. (See Chapter 2 for an illustration of the structure of a tax memo.)
Answer and Explanation:
The tax memo is as follows
Tax memo
From: Tax Advisory
Specific issue: the case here addresses Taxpayer A deduction of interest expenses for the period 2009 in which taxpayer A filed taxes
Facts : taxpayer A realized interest in mortgage amounting to $8500 which is owed to Weak National Bank. Taxpayer A applied for a loan with same Weak national bank for settlement of mortgage loan interest of $8500
Conclusion: Taxpayer A can not get deduction of interest expense on loan in weak bank for 2009 tax returns. This is because taxpayer A applied for loan with Weak bank and paid with cheque from same bank in which mortagage interest was owed in settlement of debt interest, and as such cannot qualify for deduction
Cash basis tax payers can report tax deductions in year in which they payment is made in cash

Since the government cannot cater to the needs of everyone, learning a trade or two will help the teeming youths to be productively engaged.
This will go a long way to curb unemployment and its negative consequences such as crime perpetrated by young people. They could learn hard skills like fashion designing, Catering, Mechanized farming, etc. Soft skills would also help them to grow professionally.
An example of what the citizens of South Africa can do to uplift themselves is to develop their community and get the necessary skills and education.
In South Africa today, there are issues of inequality and poverty affecting the people. In order to tackle these issues, it's vital to focus on projects that can help the poor in society. This can be through the creation of jobs.Furthermore, it's vital for people to develop their skills. Skill courses and mentorship programs should be engaged in order for the people to improve their standard of living.Lastly, companies should be socially responsible and find ways through which they can help the poor.Read related link on:

Explanation:
A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. However, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in Ohio. In particular, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output).
Required:
a. Carefully state the ceteris paribus experiment underlying this policy question.
b. Does it seem likely that a firm's decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics?
c. Name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity.
d. If you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive?
Explanation:
1. The ceterus paribus effect gives us to what extent, the effect of a variable has on another variable, while holding all other factors fixed. Analysing job training of workers on productivity will give us results that are not biased since we will not be taking account of other factor variables in the calculations. When 2 firms are the same in almost every aspect apart from number of hours on training, then we will find out that each firm would have different levels of workers output. So we should know if workers output increases due to job training.
2. When it comes to provision of training, furms do these based on characteristics of the workers. Some of these characteristics are measurable while some are immeasurable
Measurable:
Experience on the job,
Productivity
Level of education,
immeasurable :
Skill set
Vision
Likeliness to bstay at firm
3. Apart from worker characteristics, productivity also depends on other factors one of which is technological change. A technological change can bring about increased efficiency and greater output by the worker. Different firms using different capital and technological combination are quite likely to have different output levels.
4. A positive correlation between job training and productivity cannot be used to ascertain if job training makes worker more efficient this is due to the fact that correlation only tells us if variables are in coexistence. So a positive correlation does not tell us that job training is indeed bringing about changes in the productivity of workers.

At the time of acquisition, the land has a current market value of $ 93,000 , the building's current market value is $ 186,000 , and the equipment's current market value is $ 31,000. Prepare a schedule allocating the purchase price of $ 280,000 to each of the individual assets purchased based on their relative market values, then journalize the lump-sum purchase of the three assets. The business signs a note payable for the purchase price.
Required:
Prepare a schedule allocating the purchase price of $ 280,000 to each of the individual assets purchased based on their relative market values, then journalize the lump-sum purchase of the three assets.
Answer:
total purchase cost $280,000
land with FMV of $93,000
building with FMV of $186,000
equipment with FMV of $31,000
total FMV = $310,000
we will allocate purchase cost using the weighted average method:
land = ($280,000 / $310,000) x $93,000 = $84,000
building = ($280,000 / $310,000) x $186,000 = $168,000
equipment = ($280,000 / $310,000) x $31,000 = $28,000
total = $280,000
Dr Equipment 28,000
Dr Building 168,000

Novak Company acquired a plant asset at the beginning of Year 1. The asset has an estimated service life of 5 years. An employee has prepared depreciation schedules for this asset using three different methods to compare the results of using one method with the results of using other methods. You are to assume that the following schedules have been correctly prepared for this asset using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the sum-of-the-years'-digits method, and (3) the double-declining-balance method.
Year Straight-Line Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Double-Declining-Balance
1 $15,750 $26,250 $35,000
2 15,750 21,000 21,000
3 15,750 15,750 12,600
4 15,750 10,500 7,560
5 15,750 5,250 2,590
Total $78,750 $78,750 $78,750
Required:
a. What is the cost of the asset being depreciated?
b. What amount, if any, was used in the depreciation calculations for the salvage value for this asset?
c. Which method will produce the highest charge to income in Year 1?
d. Which method will produce the highest charge to income in Year 4?
e. Which method will produce the highest book value for the asset at the end of Year 3?
f. If the asset is sold at the end of Year 3, which method would yield the highest gain (or lowest loss) on disposal of the asset?
Answer:
a. What is the cost of the asset being depreciated?
the cost of the asset = $35,000 / 0.4 = $87,500
b. What amount, if any, was used in the depreciation calculations for the salvage value for this asset?
salvage value = $87,500 - (5 x $15,750) = $8,750
c. Which method will produce the highest charge to income in Year 1?
double declining results in the highest depreciation expense
d. Which method will produce the highest charge to income in Year 4?
straight line results in the highest depreciation expense
e. Which method will produce the highest book value for the asset at the end of Year 3?
straight line, book value = $87,500 - (3 x $15,750) = $40,250
f. If the asset is sold at the end of Year 3, which method would yield the highest gain (or lowest loss) on disposal of the asset?
double declining balance, since the carrying value is lowest = $87,500 - $35,000 - $21,000 - $12,600 = $18,900
e.g. if the assets is sold at $30,000, the gain = $11,100
under straight line method a $30,000 resale price would result in a loss(= $30,000 - $40,250 = -$10,250), while sum of years' digit would result in a gain = $30,000 - ($87,500 - $26,250 - $21,000 - $15,750) = $5,500
Suppose that nominal GDP was $9000000.00 in 2005 in Midland County Texas. In 2015, nominal GDP was $11500000.00 in Midland County Texas. The price level rose 3.00% between 2005 and 2015, and population growth was 3.50%. Calculate the following figures for Midland County Texas between 2005 and 2015. Give all answers to two decimals.
Answer:
Calculate the following figures for Midland County Texas between 2005 and 2015. a. Nominal GDP growth, b. Economic growth, c. Inflation, d. Real GDP growth, e. Per capita GDP growth, f. Real per capita GDP growth.
Nominal GDP(current year) = $11,750,000
Nominal GDP(base year) = $9,000,000
Inflation = 3%
Population growth = 3.50%
a. Nominal GDP growth: = [(Nominal GDP(current year) - Nominal GDP(base year)) / Nominal GDP(base year) ]* 100
= (11,500,000.00 - 9,000,000) / 9000000 * 100
= [2,500,000 / 900,000,000} * 100
= 0.2778
= 27.78%
b. Economic growth = [(GDP(current year) / GDP(base year)) – 1] * 100
= [11,500,000.00 / 9,000,000 - 1] * 100
= 1.27777 - 1 * 100
= 0.27777 * 100
= 27.78%
c. Inflation is when there is increase in the general price level of the goods and service. The price level rise by 3%, hence. the inflation become 3%.
d. Real GDP growth = Nominal GDP growth - Inflation
= 27.78% - 3%
= 24.78%
e. Per capita GDP growth = Nominal GDP growth - Population growth
= 27.78% - 3.50%
= 24.28 %
f. Real per capita GDP growth: = Real GDP growth - Population growth
= 24.78% - 3.50%
= 21.28%

A list of concepts are provided below. Select the appropriate description for the concept.
1. Cash-basis accounting. select the appropriate description for the concept
2. Fiscal year. select the appropriate description for the concept
3. Revenue recognition principle. select the appropriate description for the concept
4. Expense recognition principle. select the appropriate description for the concept
Answer:
1. Cash-basis accounting - Companies record revenues when they receive cash and record expenses when they pay out cash.
Unlike in Accrual basis accounting, here revenue is recognized when the money is paid regardless of if the payment for services comes after a year. The same goes for expenses. Tax authorities use the Cash basis.
2. Fiscal year - An Accounting time period that is one year in length.
This is the Accounting period for a firm. It runs for 12 months and depends on when they started business or when they want to report financials.
3. Revenue recognition principle - Recognize revenue in the accounting period in which a performance obligation is satisfied
This falls under the Accrual basis of accounting. It is recommended by GAAP. Revenue should be recognized only when the service has been accomplished regardless of when actual payment is made.
4. Expense recognition principle - Efforts (expenses) should be matched with accomplishments (revenues).
Follows the same premise as the Revenue recognition principle. Recognize expenses when incurred and should be matched to revenues.

Asonia Co. will pay a dividend of $4.50, $8.60, $11.45, and $13.20 per share for each of the next four years, respectively. The company will then close its doors. If investors require a return of 10.5 percent on the company's stock, what is the stock price?
Answer:
$28.50
Explanation:
Stock price = Future dividends*Present value of discounting factor(10.5%,time period)
Stock price = $4.50/1.105 + $8.60/1.105^2 + $11.45/1.105^3 + $13.20/1.105^4
Stock price = $4.50/1.105 + $8.60 / 1.2210 + $11.45/1.3492 + $13.20/1.4909
Stock price = $4.0724 + $7.0434 + $8.4865 + $8.8537
Stock price = $28.456
Stock price = $28.50
There is a large steel factory next to a private lake owned by a single individual. Pollution from the factory contaminates the lake, reducing the stock of fish and other aquatic animals. The pollution runoff affects only the owner's private lake. The marginal benefit to the steel factory of pollution is M B = 400 − 2 Q MB = 400 - 2Q MB=400−2Q, where Q Q Q is the amount of water pollution in tons. The marginal cost to the lake owner is M C = 3 Q MC = 3Q MC=3Q. Assume that the amount of pollution damage is measurable, benefit and cost curves are known with certainty, and that there are no transaction costs for negotiation. With this information, answer the following questions:______
A. What is the efficient quantity of pollution? Illustrate on a graph.
B. Recall the Coase Theorem, which indicates that the assignment of property rights to one party or the other is irrelevant when determining the efficient allocation of resources. First assume that owner of the lake has the property rights. Calculate the net gains or loses for both the owner and the factory. What is the total net social welfare?
C. Now assume that the steel factory has the pollution rights. Calculate the net gains or loses for both the owner and the factory. What is the total net social welfare?How does this result compare to answer?
Answer:
1. 80
Explanation:
MB = 400-2Q
Mc = 3Q
MB = Mc
= 400-2Q = 3Q
400=5Q
Q= 400/5
Q=8
Check attachment for diagram
3. The lake owner would be paying for the reduction in pollution. Mc = 0. He will be unwilling to make any offer that exceed this amount. The steel company would be unwilling to take anything below $400 since that is what he gets if nothing is produced. The lake owner would suffer a loss since the steel plant would continue production of 80 tons of pollution
Rafael Company produces pipes for concert-quality organs. Each job is unique. In April 2013, it completed all outstanding orders, and then, in May 2013, it worked on only two jobs, M1 and M2:Job M1: Direct materials $78,000, Direct manufacturing labor $273,000Job M2: Direct materials $51,000, Direct manufacturing labor $208,000Direct manufacturing labor is paid at the rate of $26 per hour. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated at a budgeted rate of $20 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. Only Job M1 was completed in May.Requirements:A) Calculate the total cost for Job M1.B) 1,100 pipes were produced for Job M1. Calculate the cost per pipe.C) Prepare the journal entry transferring Job M1 to finished goods.D) What is the ending balance in the Work-in-Process Control account?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:-
A. the total cost for Job M1
Labor hour used in Job M1 = Direct manufacturing labor ÷ Direct manufacturing labor per hour
= $273,000 ÷ $26
= 10,500
Manufacturing overhead costs of Job M1 = Labor hour used in Job M1 × Predetermined overhead rate
= 10,500 × $20
= $210,000
Total cost for Job M1 = Direct materials + Direct manufacturing labor + Manufacturing overhead costs
= $78,000 + $273,000 + $210,000
= $561,000
B. the cost per pipe
Cost per pipe = Total cost for Job M1 ÷ No of unit produced
= $561,000 ÷ 1,100
= $510
C. The Journal entry is shown below:-
Finished Goods Dr, $561,000
To Work in Process $561,000
(Being the transfer is recorded)
D. Ending balance in the Work-in-Process Control account
Labor hour used in Job M2 = Direct manufacturing labor ÷ Direct manufacturing labor per hour
= $208,000 ÷ $26
= 8,000
Manufacturing overhead costs of Job M2 = Labor hour used in Job M2 × Predetermined overhead rate
= 8,000 × $20
= $160,000
Ending balance in the Work-in-Process Control account = Direct materials of Job M2 + Direct manufacturing labor of Job M2 + Manufacturing overhead costs of Job M2
= $51,000 + $208,000 + $160,000
= $419,000
Santana Rey, owner of Business Solutions, decides to diversify her business by also manufacturing computer workstation furniture.
Required
1. Classify the following manufacturing costs of Business Solutions as (a) variable or fixed and (b) direct or indirect.
2. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for Business Solutions for the month ended January 31, 2018.
Direct materials: $2,900
Factory overhead: $530
Direct labor: $900
Beginning work in process: none (December 31, 2017)
Ending work in process: $520 (January 31, 2018)
Beginning finished goods inventory: none (December 31, 2017)
Ending finished goods inventory: $350 (January 31, 2018)
3. Prepare the cost of goods sold section of a partial income statement for Business Solutions for the month ended January 31, 2018.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials: $2,900 VARAIBLE
Factory overhead: $530 MIXED (ussually)
Direct labor: $900 VARIABLE
Beginning work in process: none (December 31, 2017)
Ending work in process: $520 (January 31, 2018)
Beginning finished goods inventory: none (December 31, 2017)
Ending finished goods inventory: $350 (January 31, 2018)
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 0 + 2,900 + 900 + 530 - 520
cost of goods manufactured= $3,810
Now, we can determine the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
beginning finished inventory= 0
cost of goods manufactured= 3,810
ending finished inventory= (350)
Cost of goods manufactured= $3,460
