Production Budget 13,400 15,600
Explanation:
A Production Budget shows the quantities of finished goods that must be produced to meet expected sales plus any increase in inventory levels that might be required.
Which of the following costs is an example of a cost that remains the same in total as the number of units produced changes?
A) Direct labor
B) Salary of a factory supervisor
C) Units of production depreciation on factory equipment
D) Direct materials
Answer: B) Salary of a factory supervisor
Explanation:
The Factory Supervisor is not directly related to the production of goods and unless specified, the Supervisor is assumed to be paid a certain amount to oversee the factory and this figure will not change regardless of how many more goods are produced thus making this cost a Fixed Manufacturing Overhead.
During the last five years, average daily occupancy at Autumn Acres nursing home has slid from 125 to 95 even though Autumn Acres has cut its daily rate from $125 to $115. Do these data suggest that occupancy would have been higher if Autumn Acres had raised its rates? What changes in nonprice demand factors might explain this change? (The supply, or the number of nursing home beds in the area, has not changed during this period.)
Answer:
no
Decline in the number of aged people in the population
The quality of care offered might have declined
Preference to be cared for at home instead of at care home
increase in death rate among the elderly
Explanation:
Even though, there seem to be a positive correlation between the price of daily rates and occupancy. it doesn't imply that increasing the rates would increase occupancy rates. there might be other factors explaining the decline.
some of these factors include :
1. decline in the number of the aged in the population : if the proportion of the aged in the population has reduced, the nursing home would experience a decline in residents
2. if the quality of care received by patients has also reduced, the aged might prefer other nursing homes.
3. there might be a shift in reference. the aged might prefer to be cared for at home by family and friends instead of staying in a nursing home.
Increase in death rate among the elderly : if there is an increase in mortality rate, the care home would experience a decline in occupancy
Richman Company purchased $900,000 of 8%, 5-year bonds from Carlin, Inc. on January 1, 2022, with interest payable on July 1 and January 1. The bonds sold for $937,422 at an effective interest rate of 7%. Using the effective interest method, Richman Company decreased the Available-for-Sale Debt Securities account for the Carlin, Inc. bonds on July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 by the amortized premiums of $3,186 and $3,294, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Carlin, Inc. bonds was $954,000. What should Richman Company report as other comprehensive income in the 2022 Comprehensive Income Statement
Answer:
$23,058
Explanation:
For calculation of Other comprehensive income first we will find out the total amortized premiums which is shown below:-
Total amortized premiums = 3,186 + 3,294
= $6,480
Other comprehensive income = Fair value on December 31, 2022 - (Selling price of bonds - Total amortized premiums)
= $954,000 - ($937,422 - $6,480)
= $954,000 - $930,942
= $23,058
We simply applied the above formula.
On November 1, Jasper Company loaned another company $100,000 at a 6.0% interest rate. The note receivable plus interest will not be collected until March 1 of the following year. The company's annual accounting period ends on December 31. The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is:
Answer:
The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is $1,000
Explanation:
As we know Note receivable is a type of investment on which the Noteholder receives te interest over the note amount.
Value of Note = $100,000
Rate = 6%
until 31 December only two months has been passed and the interest revenue of only 2 months will be recognized as follow
Interst Revenue = $100,000 x 6% x 2/12 = $1,000
So the interest revenue of $1,000 should be reported in the first year.

Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.66 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.3 percent and the bond matures in 16 years. What is the market price if the bond has a par value of $2,000?
Answer:
Market price of Bond = $1872.135629 rounded off to $1872.14
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 2000 * 0.0566 * 1/2 = $56.6
Total periods (n)= 16 * 2 = 32
r = 6.3% * 1/2 = 3.15% or 0.0315
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 56.6 * [( 1 - (1+0.0315)^-32) / 0.0315] + 2000 / (1+0.0315)^32
Bond Price = $1872.135629 rounded off to $1872.14

A firm only has current assets and fixed assets. Its current assets are $100,000 and total assets are $300,000. The firm's sales are $900,000. The firm's fixed asset turnover is
Answer:
Firm's fixed asset turnover = 4.5
Explanation:
Given:
Current assets = $100,000
Total assets = $300,000
Firm's sales = $900,000
Find:
Firm's fixed asset turnover
Computation:
Fixed assets = Total assets - Current assets
Fixed assets = $300,000 - $100,000
Fixed assets = $200,000
Fixed asset turnover = Sales / Fixed asset
Firm's fixed asset turnover = $900,000 / $200,000
Firm's fixed asset turnover = 4.5
Howard Services, Inc., has $ 8 comma 600 cash on hand on January 1. The company requires a minimum cash balance of $ 7 comma 600. January cash collections are $ 548 comma 570. Total cash payments for January are $ 567 comma 610. Prepare a cash budget for January. How much cash, if any, will Howard need to borrow by the end of January?
Answer:
The amount of cash to be borrowed = $18,040
Explanation:
The cash budget shows the expected cash payments and expected cash receipts and cash balance at the end of a particular period.
Note that in the cash budget only items of the cash are considered, therefore items like depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and apportionment of fixed costs are not included because they are not cash based.
The balance at the end = opening cash balance + cash receipts -cash payment
Applying this to Howard Services, Inc.
The amount of cash to be borrowed = Minimum cash balance required - Net cash balance
DATA
Opening cash balance - 8600
Cash receipts- 548,570
Cash payment - 567,610
Net cash balance = 8600 + 548,570 - 567,610 = (10,440)
The amount of cash to be borrowed = 7,600 - (10,440)
=7,600+10,440=18040
The amount of cash to be borrowed = $18,040
Note a negative amount of 10,400 would mean that that would be first borrowed to balance the deficit, and to take the balance to the minimum required cash balance, an addition 7,600 would need to be borrowed.
Per Chevron’s 3Q 2013 filing, what was the percentage change in the cost of purchased oil products when comparing nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus the same period in 2012?
Answer:
Per Chevron 3Q 2013 Filling:
The percentage change in the cost of purchased oil products nine months to September 30, 2013 when compared to nine months in 2012 was:
2.47%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of purchased oil products:
2013 $34,822,000,000
2012 $33,982,000,000
Change $840,000,000
Percentage Change = $840/$33,982 x 100
= 2.47%
b) The implication is that Chevron's cost of purchased oil products in third quarter of 2013 increased by 2.47% when compared with the same period in 2012. This percentage change is calculated by subtracting the Q3 2012 cost of purchased oil products from the Q3 2013 cost of purchased oil products and then dividing the difference by the Q3 2012, and multiplying by 100. The change could be caused by increases in the price of oil products or other variables.

A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $240,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced.
Product Pounds Price per Pound
Feed 100,000 $0.70
Flour 50,000 2.20
Starch 20,000 1.00
How much of the $240,000 cost should be allocated to feed?
a. $24,500.
b. $84,000.
c. $90,000.
d. $70,000.
e. $200,000.
Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
A granny allocates the costs of unprocessed wheat to production of feed, flour and starch
The unprocessed wheat was bought at the price of $240,000
The first step is to calculate the total amount of the products(feed, flour and starch)
Feed= 100,000×0.70= 70,000
Flour= 50,000×2.0= 110,000
Starch= 20,000×1.0= 20,000
Total cost= 70,000+110,000+20,000
= $200,000
Therefore, the amount that should be allocated to the feed can be calculated as follows
= $70,000/$200,000×$240,000
= 0.35×$240,000
= $84,000
Hence the cost that should be allocated to the feed is $84,000
Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage building from Sheffield Storage Company. The following information pertains to this lease agreement.
1. The agreement requires equal rental payments of $67,299 beginning on December 31, 2019.
2. The fair value of the building on December 31, 2019 is $492,571.
3. The building has an estimated economic life of 12 years, a guaranteed residual value of $10,500, and an expected residual value of $7,300. Kimberly-Clark depreciates similar buildings on the straight-line method.
4. The lease is nonrenewable. At the termination of the lease, the building reverts to the lessor.
5. Kimberly-Clark’s incremental borrowing rate is 8% per year. The lessor’s implicit rate is not known by Kimberly-Clark.
a. Prepare the journal entries on the lessee’s books to reflect the signing of the lease agreement and to record the payments and expenses related to this lease for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. Kimberly-Clark’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
b. Suppose the same facts as above, except that Kimberly-Clark incurred legal fees resulting from the execution of the lease of $5,000, and received a lease incentive from Sheffield to enter the lease of $1,000. How would the initial measurement of the lease liability and right-of-use asset be affected under this situation?
Right-of-use asset
$:
c. Suppose that in addition to the $67,299 annual rental payments, Kimberly-Clark is also required to pay $5,000 for insurance costs each year on the building directly to the lessor, Sheffield Storage. How would this executory cost affect the initial measurement of the lease liability and right-of-use asset? (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
Lease liability $
d. Now suppose that, at the end of the lease term, Kimberly-Clark took good care of the asset and Sheffield agrees that the fair value of the asset is actually $10,500. Record the entry for Kimberly-Clark at the end of the lease to return control of the storage building to Sheffield (assuming the accrual of interest on the lease liability has already been made).

Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data: Modular Homes Prefab Barns Total expected units produced 5,000 8,000 Total expected material moves 500 100 Expected direct labor-hours per unit 700 200 The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790. If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of material moves, the total materials handling cost allocated to the modular homes is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Modular homes= $182,325
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Modular Homes - Prefab Barns
Total expected material moves 500 100
The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790.
To calculate the allocated costs to each product line, 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= 218,790/600
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $364.65 per move
