Last year, the Corporation worked 19,400 actual direct labor-hours.
The Corporation had calculated a predetermined overhead rate of $9 per direct labor-hour.
To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 9*19,400
Allocated MOH= $174,600
Now, we can determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 156,400 - 174,600
Under/over applied overhead= $18,200 overallocated

A young chef is considering opening his own sushi bar. To do so, he would have to quit his current job, which pays $30,000 a year, and take over a restaurant space that he owns and currently rents to his brother for $24,000 a year. His expenses at the sushi bar would be $50,000 for food and $2,000 for gas and electricity. What are his explicit costs?
Answer:
$106,000
Explanation:
The computation of explicit costs is shown below:-
Implicit costs = Paid amount in a year + Rent amount
= $30,000 + $24,000
= $54,000
Explicit costs = Expenses amount for food + Expenses amount for gas and electricity
= $50,000 + $2,000
= $52,000
Total amount = Implicit costs + Explicit costs
= $54,000 + $52,000
= $106,000
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 65,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit $ 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 65,000 units of RX5 for $18.00 per unit. Required: 1. Determine the total incremental cost of making 65,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 65,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5
Answer:
1. The total incremental cost of making 65,000 units of RX5
Total Direct Material + Total direct Labour + Variable Overhead cost
Total Direct Material = 65,000 units * $5 = $325,000
Total Direct Labour = 65,000 units * $9 = $585,000
Variable Overhead cost = $65,000 * 10 = $650,000. $650,000 *(1- 80%) = $650,000 *20% = $130,000
Hence, The total incremental cost of making = $325,000 + $585,000 + $130,000 = $1,040,000
2. The total incremental cost of buying 65,000 units of RX5 =
The cost to buy the units = 65,000 units * $18 = $1,170,000
3. The company should be making the RX5 because the total cost of making the 65,000 unit of RX5 is lesser than cost of buying the 65,000 units of RX5

A subsidy will increase consumer and producer surplus in a market and will increase the quantity of trades. A subsidy (such as a subsidy for producing corn in the United States) can be considered inefficient because a subsidy results in a quantity:
Answer: higher than market equilibrium quantity where cost of supplying the unit is more than the willingness to pay
Explanation:
A subsidy is a sum of money that is given to a business or an organization by the government in order to increase the supply and also keep the prices low.
Therefore, a subsidy such as a subsidy for producing corn in the United States can be considered inefficient because a subsidy results in a quantity that is higher than market equilibrium quantity whereby cost of supplying the unit will exceed the willingness to pay.
There is a flexible exchange rate system and only two countries in the world, the United States and Mexico. If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that:________.
Answer: If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that: depreciation in the US dollars in terms of pesos.
Explanation:
Inflation is a rate at which the mean price level of a group of selected goods and services in an economy increases over a period of time.
A rise in inflation means that the cost of raw materials increases. Then, workers demand higher wages to survive with the higher cost of living. This rise in prices can also cause greater volatility and uncertainty.It cause the depreciation of the value of currency.If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that depreciation in the value of US dollars in terms of pesos.
[Currency of Mexico = pesos]

Mike worked for Frank's Pizza as a driver. His duties consisted of making deliveries along a designated route. One day Mike decided to see his girlfriend, Jackie, who lived 50 miles out of his pizza route. While driving to his girlfriend's, Mike injured a pedestrian, Chuck. The accident was caused because of Mike's negligent operation of the delivery truck. Chuck is now suing both Mike and Frank's for personal injuries. Under the circumstances:
Answer:
Frolic
Explanation:
According to the given situation, Mike is a driver of Frank Pizza. He used to deliver pizzas with designated route. Mike wanted to meet with her girlfriend who is living 50 miles out of the route of pizza. Mike injured a pedestrian, Chuck, while driving towards his girlfriend's.

J&R Renovation, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 20 years to maturity that is quoted at 107 % of face value. The issue makes semi-annual payments and has a coupon rate of 9 % annually.
A. What is the company's pretax cost of debt?
B. If the tax rate is 35 %, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
a) 8.36%
b) 5.43%
Explanation:
to find the pretax cost of debt we must find the yield to maturity:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
YTM = {45 + [(1,000 - 1,070) / 40]} / [(1,000 + 1,070) / 2] = 43.25 / 1,035 = 0.04178 x 2 = 0.08357 = 8.36%
after tax cost of debt = 8.36% x (1 - 35%) = 8.36% x 0.65 = 5.43%
Jose owns a dog whose barking annoys Jose's neighbor Amy. Suppose that the net benefit of owning the dog is worth $400 to Jose and that Amy bears a cost of $200 from the barking. Assuming Amy has the legal right to keep Jose from having a dog, a possible private solution to this problem is that:
Answer: Jose has to pay $600.
Explanation:
Jose has to pay $600 to Jane for her inconvenience.
In Accordance with Coase theorem, when two conflicting parties exist, one has to ‘buy the right’ from the other party.
Which In this scenario or case, Jane has the ‘right to prevent Jose from having a dog’.
Thus, Jose has to pay compensation to Jane so that he can keep his dog and at the same time Jane is also compensated for the inconvenience which may arise later.
Answer:
that Jose pays Amy $350 for her inconvenience, and keeps the dog
Explanation:
In this specific scenario, since Amy has every legal right to keep Jose from having the dog, then a possible private solution would be that Jose pays Amy $350 for her inconvenience, and keeps the dog. This would cover Amy's costs from the barking as well as provide an incentive to let Jose keep the dog, while at the same time Jose is spending less than what the net benefit of owning the dog is actually worth. Thus turning this into a beneficial arrangement for all parties.

Tony borrrows $20 000. He aggrees to repay this loan with 15 equal annual payments with the first payment to commence at the end of 5 years. The annual effective rate of interest on the loan is 4%. calculate the amount of annual payments
Answer:
The amount of annual payments is $2,400.
Explanation:
Given that Tony has obtained a loan for $ 20,000 at an interest rate of 4% per year, and that he has agreed to pay said loan from 15 annual payments beginning after the end of 5 years, we can say that said interest rate will apply to 20 years (the initial 5 without payment, plus the 15 in which Tony will make annual payments). Thus, a final interest of 80% should be applied to the initial sum, which arises from the multiplication of the years by the annual interest rate (20 x 4).
Thus, to the initial amount of $ 20,000 will be added an interest of $ 16,000 (20,000 x 0.8), totaling an amount to be paid of $ 36,000. Then, since that amount will be paid in 15 annual payments, each of those payments will be made for a value of $ 2,400 (36,000 / 15).

A borrower has complied with all other notarization requirements, but objects to leaving her thumbprint in the journal. What should the Notary Signing Agent do?
Answer:
the Notary Signing Agent should just complete the Signing assignment
Explanation:
In this specific scenario, the Notary Signing Agent should just complete the Signing assignment.

Golden Company has a binding commitment from another company to purchase its copyright at the end of the asset's useful life. The agreed upon amount is $150,000. When calculating copyright amortization, Golden Company should utilize a residual value of
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
Given an intangible asset like a copyright, it is amortized using the straight-line method, thus, to determine the amount of amortization in a given year, the formula is to divide the copyright's value by the length of its useful life.
However, in this case, since the Golden Company has a binding commitment from another company to purchase its copyright AT THE END of the asset's USEFUL LIFE, then, the value of the copyright equals zero.
What this simply means is that, when calculating copyright amortization, Golden Company should utilize a residual value of $150,000, because the value of the copyright at that moment equals zero.
Tim's Taxi Service sold one of its cabs for $9,000. The cab had an original cost of $23,000 with $16,000 in accumulated depreciation. Assuming this is the only asset sold during the year, what is the recognized gain or loss and character of the gain or loss on this sale
Answer:
The recognized gain is $2000

On December 31, 2018, Gardner Company holds debt securities classified as HTM with a face amount of $100,000 and a carrying value of $95,000. The bonds have an effective interest rate of 6% and pay interest of $2,500 semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The effective interest revenue recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2018 is:
Answer:
$2,850
Explanation:
Given the following :
Face value of security = $100,000
Carrying value = $95,000
Effective interest rate = 6%
Interest paid semianually = $2500
The effective interest revenue recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2018 is:
IF effective interest rate = 6%
Semiannual interest = 6% / 2 = 3%
Therefore effective interest revenue for six months will be the product of the carrying value and the interest rate within the six months period :
3% = 0.03
0.03 * $95,000 = $2,850
