Answer is given below :
Explanation:
In an economy, inflation raises the price level of the basket of goods and services, thus reducing the demand for this affected good and services. This decrease will increase the listings in companies as sales of these goods and services will decrease. Production is the work of labor and capital, NRSE inflation is reduced and there is no need for more production at the company level to reduce the inventory sold, which allows firms to reduce costs in the form of labor cost and other variable costCompanies tend to sell their untold innovations due to declining sales and top-downs that reduce profit margin. Therefore managers are concerned about the profitability of the company and their bonus.When Tyree Elliott was hired as a public relations advisor to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, he welcomed the help he received from Rae Rogers, a senior manager. Rogers was able to show Elliott the places where trouble was likely to occur, the likes and dislikes of the CEO, and how to do the best job possible. Which of the following statements describes what was going on in this situation?
a. Elliott was given no training at all.
b. Elliott was assuming the role of an apprentice.
c. Rogers was using off-the-job training techniques.
d. Rogers was assuming the role of a mentor.
Answer:
d. Rogers was assuming the role of a mentor.
Explanation:
Remember, the term mentor is usually assigned to someone who is more experienced, and who provides valuable and trusted advice to someone with lesser experience.
Based on this description, and the fact that we are told that "Rogers was able to show Elliott the places where trouble was likely to occur," makes Roger fit the role of a mentor.
The regular selling price for the product is $80. The annual quantity of units produced and sold is 40,000 units (the costs above relate to the 40,000 units production level). The company has excess capacity and regular sales will not be affected by this special order. There was no beginning inventory. What would be the effect on operating income of accepting a special order for 1,000 units at a sale price of $40 per product
Answer:
The correct option is d. Increase by $19,500.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Pluto Incorporated provided the following information regarding its single product:
Direct materials used = $240,000
Direct labor incurred = $420,000
Variable manufacturing overhead = $160,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $100,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses = $60,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $20,000
The regular selling price for the product is $80. The annual quantity of units produced and sold is 40,000 units (the costs above relate to the 40,000 units production level). The company has excess capacity and regular sales will not be affected by this special order. There was no beginning inventory.
What would be the effect on operating income of accepting a special order for 1,000 units at a sale price of $40 per product? Note: The special order units would not require any variable selling and administrative expenses.
a. Decrease by $19,500
b. Decrease by $18,000
c. Increase by $18,000
d. Increase by $19,500
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
We first calculate the expected total relevant cost of the special order as follows:
Direct materials cost per unit = Direct materials used / Annual units = $240,000 / 40,000 = $6.00
Direct labor cost per unit = Direct labor incurred / Annual units = $420,000 / 40,000 = $10.50
Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = Variable manufacturing overhead / Annual units = $160,000 / 40,000 = $4.00
Expected special order total relevant cost = (Direct materials cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit) * Special order units = ($6.00 + $10.50 + $4.00) * 1,000 = $20.50 * 1,000 = $20,500
Expected revenue from the special order = Special order units * Special order selling price per unit = 1,000 * $40 = $40,000
Expected profit from the special order = Expected revenue from the special order - Expected special order total relevant cost = $40,000 - $20,500 = $19,500
Since the expected profit from the special order is $19,500, it therefore implies that accepting it would increase operating income by $19,500.
Therefore, the correct option is d. Increase by $19,500.
On 1/1/27, Frankfort Company sold 100 components at $700 each. All sales were cash sales. Estimated total cost servicing the components was $1,300 each year of the three-year-warranty. Frankfort spent $1,400 servicing the components in 2027. This is considered an assurance-type warranty. Using the Expense Warranty approach, what is the 12/31/27 Warranty Liability
Answer:
the 12/31/27 Warranty Liability is $2,500
Explanation:
An assurance type warranty gives a customer assurance that the Good or Service will function or work as intended.
There is no option on the customer to take the warranty or not. Therefore, an assurance type warranty is not a separate performance obligation for revenue recognition.
Assurance type warranties are accounted for in terms of IAS 37 : Provisions.
Entries that Frankfort Company will have made Using the Expense Warranty approach will be :
Date : 1/1/27
Debit : Warranty Expense $1,300
Credit : Warranty Provision $1,300
Providing for amount it will cost the entity in 2027
Date : 12/31/27
1st increase the provision
Debit : Warranty Expense $100
Credit : Warranty Provision $100
then utilize the provision
Debit : Warranty Provision $1,400
Credit : Cash $1,400
When warranty claim is subsequently received
Conclusion :
Warranty liability remaining = $3,900 - ($1,300 + $100)
= $2,500
