a) Total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year is:
= 6,000 DLH.
b) The single plantwide factory overhead rate is:
= $100
c) The factory overhead allocated per unit for each product is:
= $1,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Budgeted factory overhead = $600,000
Types of boats: Speedboat and Bass boat Total
Direct labor hours 12 DLH 12 DLH
Budgeted units 250 250 500
Total DLH 3,000 3,000 6,000
Single plantwide factory overhead rate = $600,000/6,000
= $100
The factory overhead allocated per unit for each product = overhead rate * number of hours for each unit
= 12 * $100
= $1,200

a. The company's net income in 2013 was higher than in 2012.
b. The market price of the firm's stock doubled in 2013.
c. The firm issued common stock in 2013.
d. The firm had positive net income in both 2012 and 2013, but its net income in 2013 was lower than it was in 2012.
e. The company has more equity than debt on its balance sheet.
Answers
Answer: The firm issued common stock in 2013.
Explanation:
Since the firm has never paid a dividend to its common stockholders, we can see that the firm issued common stock in 2013.
Looking clearly at the common equity section, we can see that there was an increase in the common stock from $1000 to $2000.
The reduction in the retained earnings from $2340 to $2000 also shows that there was a loss.
Based on the above scenarios, we can say that the firm issued common stock in 2013.

William Parks, a special agent of the U.S. Customs Service, was investigating allegations that Bet-Air, Inc. (a seller of spare aviation parts and supplies) had supplied restricted military parts to Iran. Parks entered Bet-Air's property and removed a bag of shredded documents from a garbage dumpster. The dumpster was located near the Bet-Air offices in a parking area reserved for the firm's employees. To reach the dumpster, Parks had to travel 40 yards on a private paved road. No signs indicated that the road was private. In later judicial proceedings, Parks testified that at the time he traveled on the road, he did not know he was on Bet-Air's property. When reconstructed, some of the previously shredded documents contained information seemingly relevant to the investigation. Parks used the shredded documents and the information they revealed as the basis for obtaining a warrant to search the Bet-Air premises. In executing the search warrant, Parks and other law enforcement officers seized numerous documents and Bet-Air records.
A federal grand jury indicted Bet-Air's chairman, Terence Hall, and other defendants on various counts related to the alleged supplying of restricted military parts to Iran. Contending that the Fourth Amendment had been violated, Hall filed a motion asking the court to suppress (i.e., exclude) all evidence derived from the warrantless search of the dumpster and all evidence seized during the search of the Bet-Air premises (the search pursuant to the warrant). The federal district court denied Hall's motion. Following a jury trial, Hall was convicted on all counts and sentenced to prison. He appealed, again arguing that the Fourth Amendment was violated. How did the appellate court rule? Was there a Fourth Amendment violation?
Answers
Answer:
The appellate court did not rule in favor of Hall. Instead, it upheld the lower court's rulings. When Hall appealed up to the Supreme Court, the highest court affirmed Hall's conviction and sentencing.
This shows that there was no violation of the Fourth Amendment in Hall's case. In addition, the prosecution established the existence of probable cause in the absence of a valid warrant to search and obtain evidence that would establish the case against Terrence Hall, leading to his eventual conviction.
Explanation:
Although, the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution protects an individual from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, it does not guarantee against all searches and seizures. It only guarantees against searches and seizures that are regarded as legally unreasonable. This implies that there may be probable cause for searches and seizures.

General Manufacturing wants to borrow $1 million for three months. It uses its inventory as collateral for an 11% (APR) loan under a warehouse arrangement where the warehouse fee is $12,000 paid at the start of the three months. What is the EAR of this loan for General Manufacturing?
A) 2.8%.
B) 4.0%.
C) 17.1%.
D) 24.4%.
Answers
Answer:
C) 17.1%
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the EAR of this loan for General Manufacturing
First step is to compute FV using a financial calculator
PV =$1,000,000
I =11/12 =0.9167
N =3 years
Hence ,
FV =$1,027,752.85
Second step is to calculate the amount received
Amount received =$1,000,000 -$12,000
Amount received=$988,000
Now let calculate the actual rate
Actual rate =1,027,753 / 988,000
Actual rate =1.0402
Hence,
EAR =17.1%
Therefore the EAR of this loan for General Manufacturing will be 17.1%
Defining the research problem and research objectives is often regarded as the most difficult step in the marketing research project. Although this step is challenging, it is critically important because it is impossible to solve problems that have not been clearly defined. With the research problem defined, researchers must decide on the type of research they will pursue to generate the data they need. The three types of research (also called objectives) are exploratory, descriptive, and causal.
Match the problem description into the type of research that would most likely be used to generate the appropriate data.
1. Exploratory
2. Descriptive
3. Causal
a. Thirsty athletes: Greg needs to understand how the consumption of sports drinks varies by geographical region.
b. Hypotheses help: Joe's research problem is still not clearly defined, and he needs to generate some hypotheses for his research.
c. High heels: Sophia wants to know if she can increase the sales of shoes in her boutique by moving the display from the back of the store to next to the registers.
d. Yoga love: Gema wants to open a yoga studio in her hometown, but first she wants to understand how her hometown's residents feel about practicing yoga.

A small fast-food restaurant is automating its burger production. The owner needs to decide whether to rent a machine that can produce up to 2,000 hamburgers per week at a marginal cost of $1 per burger (excluding the cost of ingredients) or another machine that can also make up to 2,000 burgers per week but at a marginal cost of $0.50 per burger (again, excluding the cost of ingredients). The weekly lease for the machine with the higher marginal cost is $1,800. The weekly lease for the machine with the lower marginal cost is $2,170. The restaurant can sell burgers for $10 per burger, and the cost of ingredients for each burger is $2.
Suppose the restaurant leases the machine with the higher marginal cost for the first week and sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the first week.
Suppose now the restaurant leases the machine with the lower marginal cost for the second week and again sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the second week.
Answers
Answer:
$11,700 and $12,240
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Total Revenue = No. of Sale Units × Selling Price Per Unit
= 2,000 × $10
= $20,000
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Here
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Variable Cost = No. of Sale Units × (Marginal Cost + Ingredients cost for Each Burger)
= 2,000 × ($1 + $2)
= $6,000
So,
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
= $2,300 + $6,000
= $8,300
And, the total revenue is $20,000
Thus, the profit earned is
= $20,000 - $8,300
= $11,700
For the other case
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Here,
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Variable Cost = No. of Sale Units × (Marginal Cost + Ingredients cost for Each Burger)
= 2,000 × ($0.50 + $2)
= $5,000
So,
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
= $2,760 + $5,000
= $7,760
And, the total revenue is $20,000
Therefore, the earned profit is
= $20,000 - $7,760
= $12,240
1. A manager uses the following equation to predict monthly receipts: Y=450+10t time in weeks and y = receipts.) What is the forecast for July 14th if t=4 is the fourth week in January and t = 6 is February 14th of the same year (assume there are 4 weeks in each month)?
a. 690
b. 710
c. 730
d. 750
2. A major reason that decision making is often not such a rational process is that there are: Suppose we have H0:µ1= µ2 versus HA: µ1 ≠ µ2, with level of significance of α =.05 and critical values of zα/2 = ± 1.96, and the computed Test Statistics value of Z = -1.07. What is our decision?
Answers
Answer:
1. 690
2. Do not reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:
1. Month t
At the end of Feb 6
March 4
April 4
May 4
June 2
14th of July 2
Total 24
Therefore on 14th July, t = 24
Forecast: Y = 450+10t = 450 + 10*24 = 450+240 = 690
2. Options are "a. Reject the null hypothesis. b. Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Take a larger sample. d. Reserve judgment"
In general, if test statistic is more extreme than the critical values at given level of significance then we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Here, test statistic for the given two tailed test is Z = -1.07 and critical value at level of significance α = 0.5 is ± 1.96 . Since -1.96<Z<1.96, we can say that we do not reject Null Hypothesis as the test statistic is not extreme than the critical value at given level of significance.
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answers
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes

Assume that Amazon.com has a stock-option plan for top management. Each stock option represents the right to purchase a share of Amazon $1 par value common stock in the future at a price equal to the fair value of the stock at the date of the grant. Amazon has 5,000 stock options outstanding, which were granted at the beginning of 2014.
The following data relate to the option grant.
Exercise price for options = $40
Market price at grant date (January 1, 2014) = $40
Fair value of options at grant date (January 1, 2014) = $6
Service period = 5 years.
Instructions:
(a) Prepare the journal entry(ies) for the first year of the stock-option plan.
(b) Prepare the journal entry(ies) for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2014.
(c) Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $45 per share. Repeat the requirements for (a) and (b).
(d) Amazon would like to implement an employee stock-purchase plan for rank-and-file employees, but it would like to avoid recording expense related to this plan. Which of the following provisions must be in place for the plan to avoid recording compensation expense?

Waiting time 6 32
Inspection time 10 14
Processing time 80 60
Total time (in minutes) 166 154
Required:
a. Determine the production (manufacturing) lead time per batch for each decision alternative.
b. Determine the process cycle efficiency (PCE) for each system.
Answers
Answer:
Production (manufacturing) Lead Time per batch
Production Lead Time = Total Time required to manufacture which includes Setup time, Movement time, Inspection Time, Processing Time and Wait Time.
Decision Alternative 1: 166 Minutes
Decision Alternative 2: 154 Minutes
Process Cycle Efficiency
PCE = Value Added Time / Cycle Time
Except Processing Time all are Non Value Added
Decision Alternative 1 = 80/166 = 0.48
Decision Alternative 2 = 60/154 = 0.39
Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Job V, which was started and completed during the current period, shows charges of $6,000 for direct materials, $9,900 for direct labor, and $7,128 for overhead on its job cost sheet. Job W, which is still in process at year-end, shows charges of $3,000 for direct materials and $4,900 for direct labor.
Required:
Calculate the overhead cost be added to Job W at year-end
Answers
Answer:
$6,811
Explanation:
Job V had $9,900 of direct labor and $7,128 of overhead was applied to the job
= $9,900 ÷ $7,128
= $1.39 overhead rate.
This means that the application was based on taking $9,900 of Direct labor × $1.39 rate = $7,128 overhead
For Job W, take $4,900 DL × same $1.39 rate = $6,811
Therefore, the overhead cost to be applied to job w at year end is $6,811

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $69,200 and $13,950 respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $1,150 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $3,150 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $2,150. Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $7,300 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $6,330 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year. (Use the 2018 tax rate schedules.)
a. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle's deductions from AGI?
b. What is Marc and Michele's adjusted gross income?
Answers
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a)
Gross income = Marc salary + Michelle salary + corporate bond interest = $69200 + $13950 + $1150 = $84300
AGI deductions = contribution + alimony = $3150 + $2150 = $5300
Adjusted gross income = Gross income - AGI deductions = $84300 - $5300 =$79000
Let us assume married filing jointly = $24000
Itemized deductions = $7300
Greater of married filing jointly and Itemized deductions = married filing jointly = $24000
personal and dependency exemptions = $4050 per person
Therefore personal and dependency exemptions for Marc, Michelle and their child = 3 * $4050 = $12150
total amount of Marc and Michelle's deductions from AGI = Greater of married filing jointly and Itemized deductions + personal and dependency exemptions = $24000 + $12150 = $36150
b) Adjusted gross income = Gross income - AGI deductions = $84300 - $5300 =$79000
Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.

If producing 200 buttons and 200 safety pins
daily is a 50% split of resources, where do we
see the opportunity cost if you decide to
produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins?
A. The opportunity cost is still at 50%.
B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
C. The opportunity cost is in the inefficiency of producing to
products.
D. The opportunity cost is in the market share for buttons.
Answers
Answer:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Explanation:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Reason -
Initially we produce 200 buttons and 200 safety pins and there are 50% split of resources.
Now, If we produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins and there is no change in the split of resources, then
The opportunity cost of extra 100 buttons is sale amount we would have been getting if we make that 100 safety pins.
Hoffman Company manufactures car seats in its Miami plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and the testing department. This problem focuses on the assembly department. The process- costing system at Hoffman Company has a single direct- cost category (direct materials) and a single indirect- cost category (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. When the assembly department finishes work on each car seat, it is immediately transferred to testing. Hoffman Company uses the weighted- average method of process costing. Data for the assembly department for October 2013 are as follows:
Physical Units car costs Direct Conversion
Materials Costs
Work in process, Oct 1 *a 4,000 $1,248,000 $241,650
Started during Oct 2017 22,500

a - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 45%.
b - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 65%.
1. For each cost category, compute equivalent units in the assembly department. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
2. What issues should the manager focus on when reviewing the equivalent-unit calculations?
3. For each cost category, summarize total assembly department costs for October 2017 and calculate the cost per equivalent unit.
4. Assign costs to units completed and transferred out and to units in ending work in process.

Total equivalent units 26,500 26,325
2. The manager should focus on the tendency of departmental head reporting higher degree of completion to demonstrate improved performance of their departments. This will result in understated cost per equivalent unit and overstated operating income.
Again, when performance is too good, the departmental supervisor might be tempted to report lower degree of completion, which reduces the current period's income. The issue is that unchecked estimates of degree of completion can help smooth earnings from one period to the next for the departments. But this is not in the best interest of the company.

Washburn Company produces earbuds. During the tear, manufacturing overhead costs are estimated to be $200,000. Estimated machine usage is 2,500 hours. The company assigns overhead based on machine hours. Job No. 551 used 90 machine hours . Compute the predetermined overhead rate, determine the amount of overhead to apply to Job No. 551, and prepare the entry to apply overhead to Job No. 551 on January 15.
Answers
Answer:
Results are below.
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= 200,000 / 2,500
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $80 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 551:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 80*90
Allocated MOH= $7,200
Finally, the entry to record the allocation:
Work in process inventory 7,200
Manufacturing overhead (apply Job 551) 7,200
