The following production and average cost data for two levels of monthly production volume have been supplied by a company that produces a single product: Production Volume Component 950 units 750 units Direct materials $17.00 per unit $17.00 per unit Direct labor $39.61 per unit $50.17 per unit Manufacturing overhead $18.08 per unit $20.10 per unit Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Fill in the blank without $ sign or comma or period, e.g., 12345 The approximate total cost to manufacture 850 units is:
Answer:
68204
Explanation:
The computation of total cost is shown below:-
The Total cost of 950 units
= 950 units × (17 + 39.61 + 18.08)
= 950 units × 74.69
= 70955.50
now,
The total cost of 750 units
= 750 units × (17 + 50.17 + 20.10)
= 750 units × 87.27
= 65452.5
So,
Variable cost per unit
= (Total cost at highest activity - Total cost at lowest activity) ÷ (Highest activity - Lowest activity)
= (70955.5 - 65452.50) + (950 units - 750 units)
= 5503 ÷ 200 units
= 27.515 per unit
And
Fixed cost
= Total cost at 750 Units - Variable cost at 750 units
= 65452.5 - (750 × 27.515)
= 65452.5 - 20636.25
= 44816.25
Hence,
Total manufacture cost of 850 units
Total Manufacturing cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
=(850 × 27.515) + 44816.25
= 23387.75 + 44816.2
= 68204
Sheridan Decorating uses a job order cost system to collect the costs of its interior decorating business. Each client’s consultation is treated as a separate job. Overhead is applied to each job based on the number of decorator hours incurred. Listed below are data for the current year. Estimated overhead $1,040,000 Actual overhead $1,039,800 Estimated decorator hours 40,000 Actual decorator hours 39,500 The company uses the account Operating Overhead in place of Manufacturing Overhead and the account Service Contracts in Process in place of Work in Process. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. Predetermined overhead rate
Answer: $26 per hour
Explanation:
The Predetermined rate is used by the company to apportion overhead to Work in process inventory and is calculated before production starts and for this reason uses estimated figures.
Predetermined Overhead rate = Estimated overhead/ Estimated decorator hours
= 1,040,000/ 40,000
= $26 per hour

A dry cleaner uses exponential smoothing to forecast equipment usage at its main plant. August usage was forecasted to be 46 percent of capacity; actual usage was 56 percent of capacity. A smoothing constant of .05 is used.
a. Prepare a forecast for September. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Forecast for September percent of capacity
b. Assuming actual September usage of 64 percent, prepare a forecast for October usage. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Forecast for October percent of capacity
Answer:
a. Forecast (t) = ∝Actual (t-1) +b (1 - ∝) * Forecast (t-1)
= 0.05 * 56 +(1 - 0.05) * 46
= 2.8 + 0.95*46
= 2.8 + 43.7
= 46.5
Forecast for September is 46.5%
b. Forecast(t) = ∝Actual (t-1) + (1-∝)*Forecast(t-1)
= 0.05 * 64 + (1-0.05) * 46.5
= 3.2 + (0.95)*46.5
= 3.2 + 44.175
= 47.375
= 47.40
Forecast for October is 47.40%

Asset management ratios are important - firms need to manage assets efficiently because capital obtained to acquire those assets is expensive. These ratios include the: (1) Inventory turnover ratio, (2) Days sales outstanding, (3) Fixed assets turnover, and (4) Total assets turnover. The inventory turnover ratio indicates how many times during the year inventory is -Select- and restocked. Its equation is: Excess inventory is unproductive and represents an investment with a -Select- rate of return. An alternative definition of the inventory turnover ratio replaces sales in the numerator with -Select- . The rationale for this measurement is that inventory is carried at cost, so sales in the numerator overstates the true inventory turnover ratio. The days sales outstanding (DSO) ratio is also called the average collection period (ACP). Its equation is:
Answer:
Throughout the overview section following table, the definition including its instance supplied is defined.
Explanation:
The asset turnover ratio reflects how much inventory is consumed and restocked throughout the year. Excess inventory becomes counterproductive and constitutes a low-return investment. An alternate interpretation including its inventory turnover ratio substitutes the cost of products delivered towards revenue in the numerator.Compared to the conditions around which the company prices its products, the DSO may even be measured. This will suggest a need to step up the accumulation of receivables unless the pattern has been growing and credit policy just hasn't improved. Because of age, there may be issues understanding this calculation, specifically whenever an older organization in comparison to something like a newer business.John discovered his company's accountant was "skimming" money from the business. The accountant agreed to pay John a one-time payment of $25,000 not to report the skimming to company officials. The accountant promised she would pay the money back when she could. John accepted the money and never reported what he knew. A year later the accountant was fired when the accountant’s actions were discovered, she was also prosecuted for theft. The payment to John was never discovered. Which statement is correct?
Answer:
There are no options listed, but what I can tell you for sure is that John's actions were both unethical and illegal.
What John did is unethical because it is not moral and it goes against all the principles that guide professional conduct. John also did something illegal because he was an accomplice in committing fraud against the company. He knowingly benefited from the accountant's illegal actions, and that is basically the legal definition of an accomplice to a crime.
Bruce Church, Inc. is a company engaged in extensive commercial farming in Arizona and California. A provision of the Arizona Fruit and Vegetable Standardization Act requires that all cantaloupes grown in Arizona "be packed in regular compact arrangement in closed standard containers approved by the supervisor." Arizona, through its agent Pike, issued an order prohibiting Bruce Church from transporting uncrated cantaloupes from its range in Parker, Arizona, to nearby Blythe, California, for packing and processing. It would take many months and $200,000 for Bruce Church to construct a processing plan int Parker. Further, Bruce Church had $700,000 worth of cantaloupes ready for transportation. Bruce Church filed suit in federal district court challenging the constitutionality of the Arizona statutory provision on shipping cantaloupes. The court issued an injunction (essentially saying the statute was not constitutional) against the enforcement of the act on the grounds that it was an undue hardship on interstate commerce. Answer the following questions: 1. What is the Commerce Clause? 2. Will the Arizona regulation withstand Commerce Clause scrutiny? Why or why not?
Answer:
1. What is the Commerce Clause?
The Commerce Clause refers to the power held by Congress to regulate interstate commerce. Individual states can regulate commerce that takes place within their territory, but they cannot regulate trade between entities from their state and entities from other states.
2. Will the Arizona regulation withstand Commerce Clause scrutiny? Why or why not?
This is an actual court case and the US Supreme Court ruled against Arizona's regulation because it interferes with interstate commerce. The cantaloupes that Bruce Church produced were supposed to be sold in California, that means that 2 states are involved. The Commerce Clause applies whenever trade between 2 states are involved. An individual state's regulations cannot result in a burden for businesses engaged in interstate commerce.

Fill in the blank without $ or comma or period, e.g., 12345 What was Job# 82's total manufacturing cost in August using normal costing?
Answer:
$12,400
Explanation:
The computation of Job 82's total manufacturing cost in August using normal costing us shown below:-
Overhead rate = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Budgeted Labor cost
= $672,000 ÷ 1,680,000
= 40%
Applied overhead = 6000 × 40%
= 2,400
The Total cost of Job 82 = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $4,000 + $6,000 + $2,400
= $12,400

15. Your company contracted for a 30-second commercial (an advertisement) that aired during the Super Bowl at a cost of $1.2 million. It is legally obligated to pay for the commercial, but has not yet done so. How is your company's balance sheet affected on the day the commercial aired? It increases both assets and liabilities by $1.2 million. It increases assets and decreases stockholders' equity by $1.2 million each. It does not affect the balance sheet. D) It increases liabilities and decreases stockholders' equity by $1.2 million each.
Answer: D) It increases liabilities and decreases stockholders' equity by $1.2 million each.
Explanation:
Even though the company has not paid for the advertisement, the expense has already been incurred and by the Accrual principle of accounting it needs to be recorded.
It will therefore be recorded as an expense which will reduce the Income for the year which is a Stockholder equity account so therefore it will reduce the Stockholder account by $1.2 million.
Because the company has not yet paid for the advert, the amount have to be recorded as a liability to the company so liabilities will increase by $1.2 million.

On January 1, 2021, Kat Corp. granted an employee an option to purchase 60,000 shares of Kat's $5 par common stock at $20 per share. The options became exercisable on December 31, 2022, after the employee completed two years of service. The option was exercised on January 10, 2023. The market prices of Kat's stock were as follows: January 1, 2021, $30; December 31, 2022, $50; and January 10, 2023, $45. An option pricing model estimated the value of the options at $8 each on the grant date. For 2021, Kat should recognize compensation expense of: a. $ 0. b. $ 240,000. c. $ 300,000. d. $ 600,000
Answer:
b. $ 240,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what Kat should recognize as compensation expenses
Using this formula
Compensation expenses= (Purchase shares ×Value of options)/ Years of Service
Let plug in the formula
Compensation expenses=(60,000 shares
x $8 per option) / 2 years of service
Compensation expenses=480,00/2 years of service
Compensation expenses= = 240,000
Therefore what Kat should recognize as compensation expenses is 240,000

Calculate GDP, NDP, NI, PI, and DI from the following information. All numbers are in billions of dollars. Wages $ 26,500 Consumption Expenditures $36,000 Government Expenditures $18,500 Imports $20,330 Exports $18,580 Property Taxes $16,000 Sales Taxes $9,715 Retained earnings $1,310 Personal Income Taxes $2,200 Private Domestic Investment Expenditures $15,650 Interest Income $1,940 Pay Roll taxes $1,300 Transfer Payments $880 Depreciation $1,300 Net Income Made Abroad by Americans $160 Indirect Business taxes $2,520 Corporate Income Taxes $320 2. Calculate a) labor force, b) labor force participation rate, and c) unemployment rate if the population of a country is 380 million people out which 92 million are under the age of 16, 58 million don't want to work and 20 million are looking for work. 3. Calculate the inflation rate from 2004-2005 if the index number in 2005 was 120 and the index number in 2004 was 135.
Answer:
GDP = Consumption expenditure + Private Investment Expenditure + Government expenditure + Export - Import
= $36,000 + $15,650 + $18,500 + $18,580 - $20,330
= $68,400
NDP = GDP - Depreciation
= $68,400 - $1,300
= $67,100
NI = NDP - Indirect business tax - Transfer payment + Net income Made abroad by Americans
= $67,100 - $2,520 - $880 + $160
= $63,860
PI = NI - Corporate income tax - Retained earnings + Transfer payments
= $63,860 - $320 - $1,310 + $880
= $63,119
DI = PI - Personal income Taxes
= $63,119 - $2,200
= $60,910
a. Labor force = Total Population - (People under age of 16 + People who don’t work)
Labor force = $380 million - ($92 million + $58 million)
Labor force = $230 million.
b. Labor force participation rate = Labor force/ Total population
Labor force participation rate = (60/100) * 100
Labor force participation rate = 60%
c. Unemployment rate = (Unemployed / Labor force) * 100
Unemployment rate = ($20 million / $230 million) * 100
Unemployment rate = 8.69%

Answer:
The correct answer is: Salaries of the clerical staff that work in the company administrative offices.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept known as "indirect costs", in the field of business and accounting, are refered to those costs that are not directly implicated or accountable to a cost object. That means that they could be either variable or fixed costs and that the most common ones are related to the administration, personnel and security costs of the company.

TeleGlobal is an American firm producing TV sets. TeleGlobal imports TV set components from Taiwan and assemb them domestically. Suppose that in the United States, a TV set sells for $500 and that 80% of the TV set's value comes from the value of the imported components. The United States imposes a 30% tariff on TV sets and a 10% tariff on the TV set's components. Assume that costs of producing components are the same in the United States a Taiwan. Based on the information provided, the effective rate of protection that TeleGlobal receives from the tariff is:__________.
a. -17.5%
b. 70.0%
c. 110.0%
d. 24.4%
e. 47.5%
Answer:
c. 110.0%
Explanation:
Effective Rate of Protection (ERP) = (t1 - at2) / (1 - a)
Where t1: Nominal tariff rate on imported final product = 30% = 0.3
t2: Nominal tariff rate on imported input = 10% = 0.1
a: (Value of imported input / Value of finished good) = 80% = 0.8
ERP = (t1 - at2) / (1 - a)
ERP = 0.3 - (0.8*0.1) / (1 - 0.8)
ERP = 0.3 - 0.08 / 0.2
ERP = 0.22 / 0.2
ERP = 1.1
ERP = 110%
Which of the following statements are true? Explain.a. A lower allocation to the risky portfolio reduces the Sharpe (reward-to-volatility) ratio.b. The higher the borrowing rate, the lower the Sharpe ratios of levered portfolios.c. With a fixed risk-free rate, doubling the expected return and standard deviation of the risky portfolio will double the Sharpe ratio.d. Holding constant the risk premium of the risky portfolio, a higher risk-free rate will increase the Sharpe ratio of investments with a positive allocation to the risky asset.
Answer: b. The higher the borrowing rate, the lower the Sharpe ratios of levered portfolios
Explanation:
The formula for the Sharpe ratio = [tex]\frac{Required return on portfolio - Risk free return}{Standard deviation for the portfolio's excess return}[/tex]
With a levered portfolio, money has been borrowed.
Assuming the rate of the money borrowed is r then this rate will need to be subtracted from the required return such that the formula becomes;
= [tex]\frac{Required return on portfolio - borrowing rate - Risk free return}{Standard deviation for the portfolio's excess return}[/tex]
Notice now that as the borrowing rate rises, the numerator for the ratio will be smaller which would lead to a lower ratio when divided by the standard deviation.

Upon being interviewed by federal authorities, the doctors acknowledged their conflict of interest but reported that they were sold the shares at a 75% discount by CSI's chief financial officer.

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $730 per month in a stock account and $330 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9.3 percent, and the bond account will pay 5.3 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 6.3 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 20-year withdrawal period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The monthly withdrawal will be of $ 7.823,24
Explanation:
We solve for the future value of each investment:
stock account:
[tex]C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} - 1}{rate} = FV\\[/tex]
C 730
time 300 (25 years x 12 month per year)
rate 0,00775 (9.3% among 12 months)
[tex]730 \times \frac{(1+0,00775)^{300} -1}{0,00775} = FV\\[/tex]
FV $860.498,28
bond account:
[tex]C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\[/tex]
C 330
time 300
rate (5.3% annual among 12 months) 0,004416667
[tex]330 \times \frac{(1+0,00441667)^{300} -1}{0,00441667} = FV\\[/tex]
FV $205.563,2522
now, we add them:
860498.28 + 205.563,25 = $1.066.061,53
And last, solve for the monthly withdrawal of this sum:
[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]
PV $1.066.061,53
time 240 (20 years x 12 months)
rate 0,00525 (6.3% among 12 months)
[tex]1066061,53 \div \frac{1-(1+0,00525)^{-240} }{0,00525} = C\\[/tex]
C $ 7.823,244
Candlewood LLC started business on September 1, and it adopted a calendar tax year. During the year, Candlewood incurred $6,500 in legal fees for drafting the LLC's operating agreement and $3,000 in accounting fees for tax advice of an organizational nature, for a total of $9,500 of organizational costs. Candlewood also incurred $30,000 of preopening advertising expenses and $24,500 of salaries and training costs for new employees before opening for business, for a total of $54,500 of startup costs. The LLC wants to take the largest deduction available for these costs. If required, round any division to six decimal places and use in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar. How much can Candlewood deduct as organizational expenses
Answer:
deduction for organizational expenses = $5,000
Explanation:
Since the total startup costs are over $50,000 then the company's deduction will be lower. Generally speaking, a company can deduct up to $5,000 in organizational an startup costs ($5,000 each). But if the costs are over $50,000, then your deduction will be reduced by $1 for each dollar over that threshold.
In this case, organizational costs were $9,500, so they can deduct $5,000 during the first year and $4,500 will be amortized over the next 15 years. Startup costs are $54,500, which means that they can only deduct $5,000 - ($54,500 - $50,000) = $500 during the first year. The remaining $54,000 must be amortized over a 15 year period. Total deduction during the first year = $5,000 + $500 = $5,500
