Hoffman Company manufactures car seats in its Miami plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and the testing department. This problem focuses on the assembly department. The process- costing system at Hoffman Company has a single direct- cost category (direct materials) and a single indirect- cost category (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. When the assembly department finishes work on each car seat, it is immediately transferred to testing. Hoffman Company uses the weighted- average method of process costing. Data for the assembly department for October 2013 are as follows:
Physical Units car costs Direct Conversion
Materials Costs
Work in process, Oct 1 *a 4,000 $1,248,000 $241,650
Started during Oct 2017 22,500
Complete during Oct 2017 26,000
Work in process, Oct 31 *b 500
Total costs added during Oct 2017 $4,635,000 $2,575,125
a - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 45%.
b - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 65%.
1. For each cost category, compute equivalent units in the assembly department. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
2. What issues should the manager focus on when reviewing the equivalent-unit calculations?
3. For each cost category, summarize total assembly department costs for October 2017 and calculate the cost per equivalent unit.
4. Assign costs to units completed and transferred out and to units in ending work in process.
Answer:
Hoffman Company
1. Equivalent units, using the weighted-average method:
Physical Direct Conversion

Work in process, Oct 31 *b 500 500 (100%) 325 (65%)
Total equivalent units 26,500 26,325
2. The manager should focus on the tendency of departmental head reporting higher degree of completion to demonstrate improved performance of their departments. This will result in understated cost per equivalent unit and overstated operating income.
Again, when performance is too good, the departmental supervisor might be tempted to report lower degree of completion, which reduces the current period's income. The issue is that unchecked estimates of degree of completion can help smooth earnings from one period to the next for the departments. But this is not in the best interest of the company.

The shareholder-debtholder conflict refers to:________
a) When shareholders recognize that being socially responsible is not inconsistent with structuring the rights incentives for managers
b) When the primary goal of the financial manager is to maximize shareholder wealth and minimize bondholder wealth
c) When shareholders prefer risk and bondholders prefer to limit risk
d) When manager incentives are not properly aligned with those of the firm's shareholders and bondholders
e) When bondholders recognize that being socially responsible is not inconsistent with shareholder maximizing wealth
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The shareholder-debtholder conflict usually arises because shareholders would prefer the firm to engage in more risky business activities. This is because this has the potential to increase the income of the firm and as a result, the wealth of shareholders.
On the other hand debtholders would not want the firm to engage in risky activities because it might negatively affect the firm's ability to make its schedules payments to debtholders.
In order to protect themselves, debtholders usually draft a deb covenant which contains allowable activities of the firm
The financial planning process begins with ________ financial plans that in turn guide the formation of ________ plans and budgets.
Answer:
Long-term; short-term.
Explanation:
A budget is a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.
The first step of the budgeting process is to prepare a list of each type of income and expense that will be part of the budget.
The final step by the management of an organization in the financial decision making process is making necessary adjustments to the budget.
The benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.
Hence, the financial planning process begins with long-term financial plans that in turn guide the formation of short-term plans and budgets.

a) Total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year is:
= 6,000 DLH.
b) The single plantwide factory overhead rate is:
= $100
c) The factory overhead allocated per unit for each product is:
= $1,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Budgeted factory overhead = $600,000
Types of boats: Speedboat and Bass boat Total
Direct labor hours 12 DLH 12 DLH
Budgeted units 250 250 500
Total DLH 3,000 3,000 6,000
Single plantwide factory overhead rate = $600,000/6,000
= $100
The factory overhead allocated per unit for each product = overhead rate * number of hours for each unit
= 12 * $100
= $1,200

1. A manager uses the following equation to predict monthly receipts: Y=450+10t time in weeks and y = receipts.) What is the forecast for July 14th if t=4 is the fourth week in January and t = 6 is February 14th of the same year (assume there are 4 weeks in each month)?
a. 690
b. 710
c. 730
d. 750
2. A major reason that decision making is often not such a rational process is that there are: Suppose we have H0:µ1= µ2 versus HA: µ1 ≠ µ2, with level of significance of α =.05 and critical values of zα/2 = ± 1.96, and the computed Test Statistics value of Z = -1.07. What is our decision?
Answer:
1. 690
2. Do not reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:
1. Month t
At the end of Feb 6
March 4
April 4
May 4
June 2
14th of July 2
Total 24
Therefore on 14th July, t = 24
Forecast: Y = 450+10t = 450 + 10*24 = 450+240 = 690
2. Options are "a. Reject the null hypothesis. b. Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Take a larger sample. d. Reserve judgment"
In general, if test statistic is more extreme than the critical values at given level of significance then we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Here, test statistic for the given two tailed test is Z = -1.07 and critical value at level of significance α = 0.5 is ± 1.96 . Since -1.96<Z<1.96, we can say that we do not reject Null Hypothesis as the test statistic is not extreme than the critical value at given level of significance.
At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $2,150,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $10,500; and sales for the year total $51,850,000. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $110,000.
a. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts.
b. Determine the adjusted balances of (i) Accounts Receivable (ii) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (iii) Bad Debt Expense.
c. Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
Answer:
a. Allowance for doubtful accounts = Unadjusted balance + Adjusted balance
= $10,500 + $110,000
= $120,500
b. i)The adjusted balance of accounts receivable shall be $2,150,000(adjusted debit balance)
ii) Adjusted balance = Bad debt expense - Unadjusted balance
= $120,500 - $10,500
= $110,000 (Adjusted credit balance)
iii) Adjusted bad debt expense = Unadjusted balance of allowance for doubtful accounts + Adjusted balance allowance for doubtful accounts
= $10,500 + $110,000
= $120,500 (Adjusted debit balance)
c. Net realizable value = Gross accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts
= $2,150,000 - $110,000
= $2,040,000
Grimm Manufacturing is trying to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs with 15,000 units of ending work in process at 40% completion when there is a total 45,000 physical units. There are no beginning units in the department. Conversion costs occur evenly throughout the entire production period. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period
Answer: 36000 units
Explanation:
Ending work in process = 15,000 units
Completion rate = 40%
Total physical units = 45,000
The units completed will be:
= Total Units - Ending working in process
= 45,000 - 15,000
= 30,000
Since only 40% of the ending work in process inventory units has been completed, the completed units will then be:
= 15,000 × 40%
= 15000 × 0.4
= 6,000 units.
Then, the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period will be:
= 30,000 + 6,000
= 36,000 units.

If producing 200 buttons and 200 safety pins
daily is a 50% split of resources, where do we
see the opportunity cost if you decide to
produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins?
A. The opportunity cost is still at 50%.
B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
C. The opportunity cost is in the inefficiency of producing to
products.
D. The opportunity cost is in the market share for buttons.
Answer:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Explanation:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Reason -
Initially we produce 200 buttons and 200 safety pins and there are 50% split of resources.
Now, If we produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins and there is no change in the split of resources, then
The opportunity cost of extra 100 buttons is sale amount we would have been getting if we make that 100 safety pins.
Al is a medical doctor who conducts his practice as a sole proprietor. During 2017, he received cash of $280,000 for medical services. Of the amount collected, $40,000 was for services provided in 2016. At the end of 2017, Al had accounts receivable of $60,000, all for services rendered in 2017. In addition, at the end of the year, Al received $12,000 as an advance payment from a health maintenance organization (HMO) for services to be rendered in 2018. Compute Al’s gross income for 2017:
a. Using the cash basis of accounting.
b. Using the accrual basis of accounting.
c. Advise Al on which method of accounting he should use.
Answer:
a. Using the cash basis of accounting:
Cash received from customer $280,000
Cash received for future service $12,000
Total gross income $292,000
b. Using the accrual basis of accounting:
Service revenue = ($280,000 - $40,000 + 60,000) = $300,000
Gross income $300,000
c) AI should use cash accural basis of accounting so that he will not have to pay income taxes on uncollected accounts receivable.
Brittany started a law practice as a sole proprietor. She owned a computer, printer, desk, and file cabinet she purchased during law school (several years ago) that she is planning to use in her business. What is the depreciable basis that Brittany should use in her business for each asset, given the following information?
Asset Purchase Price FMV at Time Converted to Business use
Computer $2,500 $800
Printer $300 $150
Desk $1,200 $1,000
File cabinet $200 $225
Answer:
For tax purposes, assets that are converted to business use from personal, should use the lesser of the Fair Market Value (FMV) at the time of conversion or the cost of the asset.
Computer.
The FMV is less than the purchase price so the depreciable basis is:
= $800
Printer
The FMV is less than the purchase price so the depreciable basis is:
= $150
Desk
The FMV is less than the purchase price so the depreciable basis is:
= $1,000
File Cabinet
The purchase price is less than the FMV so the depreciable basis is:
= $200

Ethical Concerns in Human Resources
Ethics refers to fundamental principles of right and wrong; ethical behavior is behavior that is consistent with those principles. HRM decisions should be ethical, but the evidence suggests that is not always the case. Many ethical issues in the workplace involve HRM. In the context of ethical human resource management, HR managers must view employees as having basic rights. This activity is important because it will give you an opportunity to examine the four principles for ethical behavior and the basic rights employees should expect in the work environment.
HR managers must view employees as having basic rights, for such a view reflects ethical principles embodied in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Organizations often face situations in which the rights of employees are affected. Ethical, successful companies act according to four principles: emphasizing mutual benefits, employees assuming responsibility for the actions of the company, companies having a sense of purpose or vision that employees value, and emphasizing fairness. The goal of this activity is to discuss ethical issues in human resource management.
Read each work situation, then correctly match it to the ethical concern it represents.
1. Right of freedom of speech
2. Right of privacy
3. Right of freedom of conscience
4. Right to due process
5. Right of free consent

Lincoln, Inc., which uses a volume-based cost system, produces cat condos that sell for $140 each. Direct materials cost $22 per unit, and direct labor costs $15 per unit. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 280% of direct labor cost. Nonmanufacturing costs are $34 per unit. What is the gross profit margin for the cat condos
Answer:
43.57 %
Explanation:
The computation of the gross margin for the cat condos is given below:
Total Manufacturing Cost per unit is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $22 + $15 + ( 280% of $15)
= $79
Now
Gross Profit is
= Selling price per unit - Total Manufacturing Cost per unit
= $140 - $79
= $61
And finally
Gross Profit Margin is
= (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price ) × 100
= ($61 ÷ $140) × 100
= 43.57 %
Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.

(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes

b. At what price would the next market buy order be filled?
Answer:
(A) $89.80; (B) $89.85
Explanation:
A) A market buy order would be filled instantly at the best offer price i.e. the sell order with the lowest price which will also be the sell order that is topmost on the order book.
As such, a market buy order for 125 shares will be filled at a price of $89.80.
B) The next market buy order would be filled at the next best offer price after the order in (A) above has been filled. Accordingly, the next market buy order will be filled instantly at $89.85.
A small fast-food restaurant is automating its burger production. The owner needs to decide whether to rent a machine that can produce up to 2,000 hamburgers per week at a marginal cost of $1 per burger (excluding the cost of ingredients) or another machine that can also make up to 2,000 burgers per week but at a marginal cost of $0.50 per burger (again, excluding the cost of ingredients). The weekly lease for the machine with the higher marginal cost is $1,800. The weekly lease for the machine with the lower marginal cost is $2,170. The restaurant can sell burgers for $10 per burger, and the cost of ingredients for each burger is $2.
Suppose the restaurant leases the machine with the higher marginal cost for the first week and sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the first week.
Suppose now the restaurant leases the machine with the lower marginal cost for the second week and again sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the second week.
Answer:
$11,700 and $12,240
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Total Revenue = No. of Sale Units × Selling Price Per Unit
= 2,000 × $10
= $20,000
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Here
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Variable Cost = No. of Sale Units × (Marginal Cost + Ingredients cost for Each Burger)
= 2,000 × ($1 + $2)
= $6,000
So,
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
= $2,300 + $6,000
= $8,300
And, the total revenue is $20,000
Thus, the profit earned is
= $20,000 - $8,300
= $11,700
For the other case
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Here,
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Variable Cost = No. of Sale Units × (Marginal Cost + Ingredients cost for Each Burger)
= 2,000 × ($0.50 + $2)
= $5,000
So,
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
= $2,760 + $5,000
= $7,760
And, the total revenue is $20,000
Therefore, the earned profit is
= $20,000 - $7,760
= $12,240
As you drive to school in the morning, you will probably flip through several radio stations before deciding to settle on one for the duration of the drive. For instance: you can listen to a "fair and balanced" talk show; an "intelligent talk" program; an interactive "call-in" talk show; a "self-improvement" talk show; and, even an "all sports" talk show. With so much monopolistic competition in radio programming, radio stations focus on offering you something just a little different.

Given the products below and the events that affect them, indicate what happens to demand, supply, equilibrium quantity, and equilibrium price. Identify the determinant of demand and supply that causes the shifts.
a. Calculators. More schools require students to buy and use calculators; improved productivity shortens the time it takes to make calculators.
b. Gasoline. Oil production declines due to a crisis in the Middle East; people take more car vacations and drive more.
c. New homes. The average incomes fall as the economy moves into recession; the productivity of home construction workers and builders increases.
d. Tobacco. The government cut its subsidy to tobacco farmers; more people quit smoking.
Answer:
a. Increase in demand, Increase in supply & increases equilibrium quantity.
b. Decrease in supply, Increase in demand & increases the equilibrium price.
c. Decrease in demand, Increase in supply & decreases the equilibrium price.
d. Decrease in supply, decrease in demand & decreases the equilibrium price
Explanation:
a. More students imply increase in demand of calculators. Improved productivity implies increase in supply of calculators. Rightwards shift in demand & leftwards shifted supply increases equilibrium quantity.
b. Oil production decline implies decrease in supply. People's taste & preferences for vacations implies increase in demand. Rightwards shift in demand & leftwards shift in supply increases the equilibrium price.
c. Fall in income implies decrease in demand. Increase in construction workers' productivity implies increase in supply. Rightwards shift in demand & leftwards shift in supply increases the equilibrium price.
d. Decrease in subsidy imply decrease in supply. It also implies decrease in demand. Leftwards shift in demand & supply decreases the equilibrium price.
Puppy Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2020.
Puppy CO. Contribution Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2020
Sales (9,600 units at $225 each) $2,160,000
Variable costs (9,600 units at $180 each) 1, 728,000
Contribution margin 432,000
Fixed costs 324,000
Net operating income $108,000
Required:
a. Compute the company's degree of operating leverage for 2019.
b. If sales decrease by 5% in 2020, what will be the company's pretax income?
c. Assume sales for 2020 decrease by 5%. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for 2020.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Compute the company's degree of operating leverage for 2019.
This will be:
= Contribution / Pre tax income
= 432000 / 108000
= 4
b. If sales decrease by 5% in 2020, what will be the company's pretax income?
We should note that the degree of operating leverage is:
= % change in pre tax income / % change in sales
4 = % change in ore tax Income / 5%
% change in ore tax income = 5% × 4 = 20%
Company's pre-tax income will be:
= 108000 - (20% × 108000)
= 108000 - (0.2 × 108000)
= 108000 - 21600
= $86400
c. Assume sales for 2020 decrease by 5%. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for 2020.
Sales = 2160000 × 95% = 2160000 × 0.95 = 2052000
Less: Variable cost = 1728000 × 95% = 1728000 × 0.95 = 1641600
Contribution margin = 410,000
Less: Fixed cost = 324000
Pre tax net income= 86400

Explanation:
Given the above information
Payroll = $432,000 ÷ 4,800 = $90 per hour
Setup = $120,000 / 120 = $1,000 per setup
Material handling barrel = $104,400 / 8,700 = $11.95 per barrel
Quality control inspection = $264,000 / 1,100 = $240 per inspection
Overhead = $144,000 / 12,000 = $12 per machine hour
Details of the current product requirement
8 setup = 8 × $1,000 = $8,000
606 barrels = 606 × $11.95 = $7,242
80 inspections = 80 × $240 = $19,200
830 machine hours = 830 × $12 = $9,960
336 labor hours = 336 × $90 = $30,240
Total overhead assigned to order = $74,642
