Pepper’s Pens uses the weighted average method of process costing for product costing. Pepper Potts, the owner, provides you the following information about the prior month’s production: August beginning WIP (40% complete with respect to conversion costs) 8,000 Units started in August 45,000 Units completed and transferred in August 52,000 Ending August WIP (70% complete with respect to conversion costs) 1,000 All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. Costs this period Beginning WIP Direct materials $463,500 $124,500 Conversion costs 247,500 24,200 Total manufacturing costs $ 711,000 $ 148,7001. How many units were started, completed and transferred out in August? How many were completed and transferred from beginning work-in-process in August? 2. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs 3. Calculate the direct materials and conversion costs assigned to units that were completed and transferred out in August, and those in ending WIP. 4. Tony Stark, a cost accountant in the company, has raised the concern that the FIFO method of process costing is not as informative about the changes in product costs as the weighted average method. Is Tony correct? Explain.

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town decreased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price decrease. Some students suggest that the price decreased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has decreased. Other students attribute the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in the price of french fries. Everyone agrees that the increase in the price of french fries was caused by a recent increase in the price of potatoes, which are not generally used in making cheeseburgers.

The second group of students attributes the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers to the decrease in the price of calzones at local pizza parlors.

Suppose that both of the events you have just analyzed are partly responsible for the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers. Based on your analsis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers?

a. If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift.
b. Whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.
c. If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.
d. If the price decrease was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.

Hassan, an undocumented worker employed by Robco Warehouse, is routinely harassed because of his Middle Eastern ancestry. His supervisors and co-workers often refer to him as a terrorist and call him "Taliban." He complains to the management about the harassment and after a few days, his supervisor conducts an investigation and finds out that Hassan is an illegal alien. This information is relayed to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Which of the following is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) most likely to conclude? a) Hassan does not have a claim of discrimination because the Fair Labor Standards Act does not protect undocumented workers from abuse. b) Hassan has a claim of discrimination because the Immigration Reform and Control Act does not allow discrimination in favor of U.S. citizens as against illegal aliens. c) Robco Warehouse will be liable if the company acquired information on Hassan's status through a retaliatory investigation. d) Robco Warehouse is not liable because the Immigration Reform and Control Act does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of citizenship under any circumstances.

After visiting several automobile dealerships, Richard selects the used car he wants. He likes its $11,500 price, but financing through the dealer is no bargain. He has $1,500 cash for a down payment, so he needs an $10,000 loan. In shopping at several banks for an installment loan, he learns that interest on most automobile loans is quoted at add-on rates.

Richard borrows $10,000 for a period of four years at an add-on interest rate of 11 percent.
What is the total intetrest on Richard's loan?
What is the total cost of the car?
What is the monthly payment ?
What is the annual percentage rate?

Assume that Firm ABC has revenues of $120,000 for both 2017 and 2018. It also has operating expenses of $40,000 for each of these years. In addition, Firm ABC accrues a loss and related liability of $10,000 for financial reporting purposes because of pending litigation. Firm ABC cannot deduct this amount for tax purposes until it pays the liability, expected in 2018. As a result, a deductible amount will occur in 2018 when Firm ABC settles the liability, causing taxable income to be lower than pretax financial information.

Walker & Co. (Walker) signed a written contract to lease a large neon advertising sign to Herbert Harrison, who is in the dry-cleaning business, for $148.50 a month. The contract stated that Walker, as the lessor of the sign, would "at its expense maintain and service the sign [and would perform] cleaning and repainting of sign in original color scheme as often as deemed necessary by lessor to keep sign in first-class advertising condition and make all necessary repairs to sign and equipment installed by lessor." A few weeks the sign was installed, someone hit the sign with a tomato and "little spider cobwebs" appeared in the sign's corners. Harrison repeatedly asked Walker to fix the sign, but Walker did not do so. As a result, Harrison made no further payments and Walker sued Harrison for remainder of the lease payments pursuant to the contract's terms. Did Walker make a material breach of the contract?

Anita and Barry were negotiating, and Anita's attorney prepared a long and carefully drawn contract, which was given to Barry for examination. Five days later and prior to its execution, Barry's eyes became so infected that it was impossible for him to read. Ten days thereafter and during the continuance of the illness, Anita called upon Barry and urged him to sign the contract, telling him that time was running out. Barry signed the contract despite the fact he was unable to read it. In a subsequent action by Anita, Barry claimed that the contract was not binding upon him because it was impossible for him to read and he did not know what it contained prior to his signing it. Should Barry be held to the contract?
