Answer: $68,600
Explanation:
Investment Income using Equity method = Plastic company Share in income of Spoon company - Depreciation on Assets
Plastic Company share in Income of Spoon Company = 100% * 78,000 = $78,000
Land cannot be depreciated so only Equipment will be depreciated.
= 94,000/10 years
= $9,400
Investment Income using Equity method = 78,000 - 9,400 = $68,600

= $77,000
A company constructs a building for its own use. Construction began on January 1 and ended on December 30. The expenditures for construction were as follows: January 1, $530,000; March 31, $630,000; June 30, $430,000; October 30, $690,000. To help finance construction, the company arranged a 10% construction loan on January 1 for $760,000. The company’s other borrowings, outstanding for the whole year, consisted of a $4 million loan and a $6 million note with interest rates of 13% and 6%, respectively.
Required:
Assuming the company uses the specific interest method, calculate the amount of interest capitalized for the year.
Answer:
total capitalized interests = $126,380
Explanation:
Weighted average expenditures:
January 1 = $530,000 x 12/12 = $530,000
March 31 = $630,000 x 9/12 = $472,500
June 30 = $430,000 x 6/12 = $215,000
October 30 = $690,000 x 2/12 = $115,000
total weighted expenditures = $1,332,500
weighted interest rate:
$4,000,000 x 13% = $520,000
$6,000,000 x 6% = $360,000
total = $880,000 / $10,000,000 = 8.8%
capitalized interest:
$760,000 x 10% = $76,000
($1,332,500 - $760,000) x 8.8% = $50,380
total capitalized interests = $126,380

The company currently has an operating cycle of 76.4 days. The company is implementing some operational changes that are expected to increase the accounts receivable period by 2.2 days, decrease the inventory period by 5.3 days, and increase the accounts payable period by 1.5 days. What is expected to be the new operating cycle
Answer:
73.3 days
Explanation:
Calculation for what is expected to be the new operating cycle
Using this formula
Operating cycle = (Current operating system+Expected increase accounts receivable period)-Decrease in inventory period
Let plug in the formula
Operating cycle =(76.4 days+2.2 days)-5.3 days
Operating cycle=78.6 days-5.3days
Operating cycle=73.3days
Therefore what is expected to be the new operating cycle will be 73.3 days

Answer:
The factors that contribute to an employee's self-worth is thought to be linked to employees productivity, motivation, performance, job satisfaction, emotional stability, effective stress and conflict management.

There is a 3% defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on.
Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not.
A. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit?
B. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit?
C. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone?
Answer:
A. $2.67 per unit
B. $0.3 per unit
C. Yes

Therefore what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired is $2.67 per unit
B. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired,
Using this formula formula
No inspection =(Defective average *Inspection rate * Correction cost) /Inspection rate
Let plug in the formula
No inspection=0.03*30 per hour *$10 each/30 per hour
No inspection =9/30
No inspection = $0.3 per unit
Therefore what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired is $0.3 per unit
C. Yes the inspector should be hired based on the costs alone.
Bunker makes two types of briefcase, fabric and leather. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with labor hours as the cost driver but is considering switching to an activity-based costing system. In preparation for the possible switch, Bunker has identified two activity cost pools: materials handling and setup. Pertinent data follow: Fabric Case Leather Case Number of labor hours 17,000 11,000 Number of material moves 560 1,040 Number of setups 35 135 Total estimated overhead costs are $249,800, of which $192,000 is assigned to the materials handling cost pool and $57,800 is assigned to the setup cost pool.Required :1. Calculate the overhead assigned to the fabric case using the traditional costing system based on direct labor hours. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)Overhead assigned:2. Calculate the overhead assigned to the fabric case using ABC.Overhead assigned:3. Was the fabric case over- or undercosted by the traditional cost system compared to ABC?Fabric case:
Answer:
(1.) $151,664
(2.) $79100
Explanation:
Given the data :
___________Fabric Case ____ Leather Case
labor hours__ 17,000__________ 11,000
material_____ 560 ____________1,040
setups_______ 35 _____________135
Material handling cost pool = $192,000
Setup cost pool = $57,800
1.) Calculate the overhead assigned to the fabric case using the traditional costing system based on direct labor hours.
Total Estimated overhead cost = $249,800
Cost driver = labor hour
Total labor hour = (17000 + 11000) = 28,000 labor hour
For traditional costing method :
Overhead assigned to Fabric case :
Total Estimated overhead / total direct labor hours
= (249,800 / 28,000) * 17000
= $151,664
For The activity-based costing :
[Total materials handling cost pool / Total number of material moves) × fabric case number of material moves)] + [( setup cost pool / Total number of setups) × Fabric case number of setups)]
((192000/1600)*560) + ((57800/170)*35)
= $79100
Tyare Corporation had the following inventory balances at the beginning and end of May:
May 1 May 30
Raw materials $35,500 $50,000
Finished Goods $85,000 $86,000
Work in Process $23,500 $18,040
During May, $68,500 in raw materials (all direct materials) were drawn from inventory and used in production. The company's predetermined overhead rate was $12 per direct labor-hour, and it paid its direct labor workers $15 per hour. A total of 500 hours of direct labor time had been expended on the jobs in the beginning Work in Process inventory account. The ending Work in Process inventory account contained $8,050 of direct materials cost. The Corporation incurred $45,000 of actual manufacturing overhead cost during the month and applied $45,600 in manufacturing overhead cost. The raw materials purchased during May totaled:__________
Answer:
purchases= $83,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
May 1 May 30
Raw materials $35,500 $50,000
During May, $68,500 in raw materials (all direct materials) were drawn from inventory and used in production.
To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
68,500= 35,500 + purchases - 50,000
$83,000= purchases

Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5 sentences at least.You have started a successful business and are now ready to buy some property as your storefront location. You find one piece of property on a prime corner lot downtown. The owner of that property is willing to sell it to you with a quitclaim deed. The property has been in his family for multiple generations and he is not sure if any cousins have a legitimate claim to the property. You find another piece of property of similar size that is in a slightly less ideal location, but the owner is willing to sell it to you with a warranty deed. Based on your knowledge of the types of deeds, briefly discuss the risks involved in buying each property, which one might cost you more, and who has the burden of cost if a claim comes against the title of the property after the purchase.
Answer:
A quitclaim deed is actually very risky in this case. The alleged owner will sell you the property but if anyone else (the cousins maybe) makes any claim on the property and their claim is valid, then you will have to pay them money. In this case it is a gamble really, if the cousins do not make any claim, then you got a great deal, but if the cousins make a valid then you lost a lot of money. Is it really worth it? I doubt it. When a deal is to good to be true, it is actually not a good deal at all.
On the other hand, a warranty deed will provide you protection against any possible claim from any third party, including cousins, any other type of relative, mortgages, delinquent taxes, etc. A warranty deed protects the buyer and any possible future claim must be settled by the seller.
Discuss and analyze a situation where you worked on a team/project team consisting of diverse or intercultural team members. Consider the following points in your response:
a. What were some good and/or poor examples of communication?
b. Discuss any examples or interpretation of cultural differences as described in Hofstede's Cultural Values chart on page 46 of your text (e.g., individualism, time orientation, formality, etc.).
c. Was there anything that could have been done to make the communication more effective?
Explanation:
a. It is common that there are challenges in multicultural companies, communication can be a problem in companies where there are language barriers for example, which can cause significant communication noises that can cause misunderstanding and difficulty integrating a member of a culture different when joining a work team.
b. There are several different cultural values that can directly influence the work environment, the issue of formality for example is a factor that differs from country to country, and the lack of formality of an employee for example can be seen as rude, invasive behavior or unprofessional, when in fact it may just be a cultural feature of countries where the work environment is less informal and more flexible.
c. To make communication more effective, it is necessary to prepare the organization, that is, the development of policies, organizational culture and programs aimed at inclusion and respect for the different cultural values present in the organization.
It is essential that the company prepare its managers and employees to receive workers from other countries, developing a favorable environment for the exchange of positive experiences, aimed at integration, collaboration and ethical behaviors.
Bakker Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $97,500 and 3,000 estimated direct labor-hours. Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $99,400 and actual direct labor-hours were 2,850. The applied manufacturing overhead for the year was:________
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $92,625
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 97,500 / 3,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $32.5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 32.5*2,850
Allocated MOH= $92,625

Circumstances and events that make a difference to financial statement users should be disclosed. select a letter 6. Only transaction data that can be expressed in terms of money should be included in the accounting records. select a letter
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1. The economic life of a business can be divided into artificial time periods.
It is a periodicity assumption which says that the business time periods can be used to prepare financial statement as per the need of the management or other organization to make meaningful decisions.
Requirement 2. The business will continue in operation long enough to carry out its existing objectives.
It is going concern assumption which says that the company will continue its business for foreseeable future and thus the financial reporting exists. If this assumption wasn't present then the financial reporting would had only included "How to prepare financial statements on breakup basis?". Which is the situation when the company goes bankrupt and we have to prepare in breakup basis which says that the business will not continue for the foreseeable future.
Requirement 3. Assets should be recorded at their cost.
It is based on Historical cost principle which says that the contracts formed and the prices agreed would be incorporated in the financial reporting.
Requirement 4. Economic events can be identified with a particular unit of accountability.
It is Economic entity assumption which says that every stakeholder is an entity. For example, engineer, schools, leather company, Honda company, Gucci, Boss inc, etc are the examples of economic entity.
Requirement 5. Circumstances and events that make a difference to financial statement users should be disclosed.
It is talking about Disclosure principle which says that the circumstances and events that has potential to alter the decision making of the user of financial statement, must be disclosed in notes to financial statements.
Requirement 6. Only transaction data that can be expressed in terms of money should be included in the accounting records.
The statement is clear reflection of Monetary Unit assumption which says that the dealings of company that can be measured in financial terms can only be recorded in the books of accounts.

Determine the utilization and efficiency for each of the following situations.
a. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 3 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per day and an effective capacity of 7 loans per day.
b. A furnace repair team that services an average of 2 furnaces a day if the design capacity is 6 furnaces a day and the effective capacity is 5 furnaces a day.
c. Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than those other systems
Answer:
a. Utilization= 30%
Efficiency= 42.85%
b. Utilization= 33.33%
Efficiency=40%
c. . Based on the calculations , the utilization will tend to relied on the design capacity and it may vary accordingly.
Explanation:
a. Calculation to Determine the utilization and efficiency for each
Calculation for utilization
Using this formula
Utilization = (Actual Output/Design Capacity)*100
Let plug in the formula
Utilization= (3/10)*100
Utilization= 30%
Using this formula to calculate for efficiency
Let plug in the formula
Efficiency = (Actual Output/Effective Capacity)*100
Efficiency= (3/7)*100
Efficiency= 42.85%
b. Calculation for utilization
Using this formula
Utilization = (Actual Output/Design Capacity)*100
Let plug in the formula
Utilization= (2/6)*100
Utilization= 33.33%
Using this formula to calculate for efficiency
Let plug in the formula
Efficiency = (Actual Output/Effective Capacity)*100
Efficiency= (2/5)*100
Efficiency=40%
c. In a situation where the design capacity is High this means that there is likelyhood that the utilization could be lesser despite the efficiency was high.
Therefore based on the above calculations , the utilization will tend to relied on the design capacity and it may vary accordingly.
