Answer:
c. 93.
Explanation:
The computation of the conversion equivalent units under FIFO method is given below:
= Beginning work in process + unit started & completed + ending work in process
= 30 × 30% + (105 - 30) × 100% + 15 × 60%
= 9 units + 75 units + 9 units
= 93 units
Hence, the third option is correct
Cala Manufacturing purchases land for $357,000 as part of its plans to build a new plant. The company pays $44,900 to tear down an old building on the lot and $66,374 to fill and level the lot. It also pays construction costs $1,616,200 for the new building and $102,019 for lighting and paving a parking area. Prepare a single journal entry to record these costs incurred by Cala, all of which are paid in cash.

The journal entry to record the given cost is shown below:
Land Dr ($357,000 + $44,900 + $66,374) $468,274
Building Dr $1,616,200
Land improvement Dr $102,019
To Cash $2,186,493
(being the cash paid is recorded)
Here land, building & land improvement is debited as it increased the assets and credited the cash as it decreased the assets
You are a financial adviser working with a client who wants to retire in eight years. The client has a savings account with a local bank that pays 8% annual interest. The client wants to deposit an amount that will provide her with $1,003,500 when she retires. Currently, she has $301,400 in the account. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
How much additional money should she deposit now to provide her with $1,003,500 when she retires? (Round your answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
x = $240759.82559797761 rounded off to $240.759.83
Explanation:
To calculate the additional amount that is required to be invested today, we will use the formula for Future value of a cash flow.
FV = PV * (1+r)^t
Where,
FV and PV are future value and present value respectivelyr is the interest rate or rate of returnt is the time periodWe know the Future value that is the sum required and we know the r which is 8% and t which is 8 years. We know the partial PV which is 301400 and we need to calculate the other part of PV. Thus we can say that PV = 301400 + x
Solving the equation for x where x is the additional money that should be deposited today.
1003500 = (301400 + x) * (1+0.08)^8
1003500 / (1+0.08)^8 = (301400 + x)
542159.8255977329 = 301400 + x
542159.8255977329 - 301400 = x
x = $240759.82559797761 rounded off to $240.759.83

Sandhill Co. purchased a new machine on October 1, 2022, at a cost of $67,560. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $6,900. The machine is expected to be used for 72,200 working hours during its 6-year life. Compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method for 2022 and 2023, assuming a December 31 year-end. (Round
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Purchase price= $67,560
Salvage value= $6,900
Useful life= 6 years
To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (67,560 - 6,900) / 6
Annual depreciation= $10,110
2022:
Annual depreciation= (10,110/12)*3= $2,527.5
2023:
Annual depreciation= $10,110
A project manager for a not-for-profit organization is completing a new retail outlet project but is unable to get the planned amount of time from key resources to complete some of the critical path tasks. The key resources are focused on completing their day-to-day tasks, and the project manager does not control the work assignments for these people. This scenario is an example of what type of organization
Incomplete question. The options read;
A. Balanced matrix
B. Tight matrix
C. Functional
D. Project coordinator
Answer:
C. Functional
Explanation:
Remember, when we say an organization has a functional structure it implies that the line of authority is grouped based on the functions carried out by employees.
For example, we observe that in this scenario, the project manager could not control the work assignments of other employees because they had been assigned such tasks based on their specialization.
Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Carol sells her stock on December 31 for $8,000. Because Burgundy’s stock is listed on a national exchange, Dave can ascertain that his shares are worth $8,000 on December 31. Does the Federal income tax law treat the decline in value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave? Explain.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.
Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.
With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.

Lauer Corporation uses the periodic inventory system and has provided the following information about one of its laptop computers: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 220 $ 920 5/5 Purchase 320 $ 1,020 8/10 Purchase 420 $ 1,120 10/15 Purchase 260 $ 1,170 During the year, Lauer sold 1,050 laptop computers. What was ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption
Answer:
$198,900
Explanation:
Ending inventory units = Available units for sale - Units sold
Ending inventory units = 220 + 320 + 420 + 260
Ending inventory units = 1,220.
Units sold = 1,050.
Ending inventory units = 1,220 - 1,050
Ending inventory units = 170
As per the FIFO cost flow assumption, sales comprise of units from beginning inventory and earlier purchases. Hence, ending inventory comprises units from latest purchases.
So, ending inventory of 170 units would be valued at the price from 10/15 purchases.
10/15 purchase price per unit = $1,170
Ending inventory value = 170 units x $1,170
Ending inventory value = $198,900
Gull Corp. is considering selling its old popcorn machine and replacing it with a newer one. The old machine has a book value of $5,000, and its remaining useful life is five years. Annual costs are $4,000. A high school is willing to buy it for $2,000. New equipment would cost $18,000 with annual operating costs of $1,500. The new machine has an estimated useful life of five years.
Should the machine be replaced?
Proposal to Replace Equipment
Annual Variable Costs - Present Equipment $
Annual Variable Costs - New Equipment
Annual Differential Decrease in Cost $
Number of Years Applicable
Total Differential Decrease in Cost $
Proceeds from Sales of Present Equipment $
Cost of New Equipment
Annual Net Differential Increase in Cost - New Equipment $
Answer: No. The machine shouldn't be replaced.
Explanation:
Proposal to Replace Equipment
Annual Variable Costs - Present Equipment = $4000
Less: Annual Variable Costs - New Equipment = $1500
Annual Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500
Number of Years Applicable = 5
Total Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500 × 5 = $12500
Proceeds from Sales of Present Equipment = $2000
Cost of New Equipment = $8000
Annual Net Differential Increase in Cost - New Equipment = $18000 - $2000 = $16000
The machine shouldn't be replaced as the total differential decrease in cost is less than the annual net differential increase in cost of the new equipment.

A NOW account requires a minimum balance of $750 for interest to be earned at an annual rate of 4 percent. An account holder has maintained an average balance of $500 for the first six months and $1,000 for the remaining six months. The account holder writes an average of 60 checks per month and pays $0.02 per check, although it costs the bank $0.05 to clear a check.
Required:
a. What average return does the account holder earn on the account?
b. What is the average return if the bank lowers the minimum balance to $400?
c. What is the average return if the bank pays interest only on the amount in excess of $400? Assume that the minimum required balance is $400.
d. How much should the bank increase its check fee to the account holder to ensure that the average interest it pays on this account is 5 percent? Assume that the minimum required balance is $750.
Answer:
a. Average return = 5.55%
b. Average return = 6.88%
c. Average return = 4.75%
d. Bank increase per check fees = $.0257
Explanation:
a.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0×6 / 12 = $0
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12= $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $20 + $21.6 = $41.6
Given,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $41.6 / $750 = 5.55%
b.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0.04×6 / 12 = $10
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12 = $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $10 + $20 + $21.6 = $51.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $51.6 / $750 = 6.88%
c.)
Interest earned on first $100 = $100×0.04×6 / 12 = $2
Interest earned on next $600 = $600×0.04×6 / 12 = $12
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $2 + $12 + $21.6 = $35.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $35.6 / $750 = 4.75%
d.)
Total interest earned = $750×0.05 = $37.5
So,
fees earned on checks = $37.5 - $20 = $17.5
Subsidiary per check = $17.5 / 60×12 = $.0243
So,
Bank increase per check fees = $.05 – $.0243 = $.0257

a. Option D
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Company A Company B
Assets $1,000,000 $1,000,000
EBIT 160,000 160,000
Tax rate = same
Equity 100% 50%
Debts 0% 50%
Equity $1,000,000 $500,000
Debts $0 $500,000
Pretax cost of debt 0% 8%
Interest expense $0 $40,000
Pretax income $160,000 $120,000
ROA (Return on assets) = Pretax income/Assets * 100
= 16% 12%
ROE (Return on equity) = Pretax income/Equity * 100
= 16% 24%

Calculate the amount paid for goodwill.
Answer:
the amount paid for goodwill is $3,500,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount paid for goodwill is given below
But before that the net fair value of assets would be determined
Net fair value of assets purchased is
= ($7,500,000 + $14,000,000 + $1,500,000) - ($4,000,000 + $5,500,000)
= $13,500,000
Now Amount paid for goodwill is
= $17,000,000 - $13,500,000
= $3,500,000
Hence the amount paid for goodwill is $3,500,000

Answer:
Annual Cash Dividends
a. = $347,645.10
b. = $145,450
c. = $317,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
1. $3.30 Cumulative Preferred Stock:
Authorized shares = 210,000
Issued shares = 146,000
Treasury shares = 40,653
Outstanding shares 105,347
Cash dividend = $347,645.10 ($3.30 * 105,347)
2. 5% Preferred Stock, $40 par value:
Authorized shares = 293,000
Issued shares = 165,000
Outstanding shares 72,725 * $40 = $2,909,000
Cash dividend = $145,450 ($2,909,000 * 5%)
3. 12.2% cumulative preferred, $100 stated value, $108 liquidating value:
Authorized shares = 81,000
Issued shares = 42,000
Outstanding shares 26,000 * $100 = $2,600,000
Cash dividend = $317,200 ($2,600,000 * 12.2%)
Tex's Manufacturing Company can make 200 units of a necessary component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $240,000 Direct Labor 35,000 Variable Overhead 75,000 Fixed Overhead 40,000 If Tex's Manufacturing Company can purchase the component externally for $330,000 and only $15,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision

The Duerr Company manufactures a single product. All raw materials used are traceable to specific units of product. Current information for the Duerr Company follows:
Beginning raw materials inventory $27,000
Ending raw materials inventory 30,000
Raw material purchases 104,000
Beginning work in process inventory 39,000
Ending work in process inventory 49,000
Direct labor 129,000
Total factory overhead 104,000
Beginning finished goods inventory 79,000
Ending finished goods inventory 59,000
The company's cost of raw materials used, cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold is:________
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 27,000 + 104,000 - 30,000
Direct material used= $101,000
Now, the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 39,000 + 101,000 + 129,000 + 104,000 - 49,000
cost of goods manufactured= $324,000
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 79,000 + 324,000 - 59,000
COGS= $344,000
On January 1, 2019, Sunland Company purchased the following two machines for use in its production process.

Explanation:
Machine A :
Cash price $50,000
Sales Tax $3,700
Shipping cost $100
Insurance $60
Installation and Testing $70
Oil and lubricants $100
Total cost of machine = $54,030
Depreciation = ( Cost - Salvage Value ) / Useful Life
Depreciation = ( $54,030 - 5,050 ) / 5 years = $9,796
Machine B :
Depreciation = ( 180,000 - 20,880 ) / 4 = $39,780
Waterway Corp. purchased machinery for $315,600 on May 1, 2020. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years, salvage value of $18,600, production of 237,600 units, and working hours of 25,000. During 2021, Waterway Corp. uses the machinery for 2,650 hours, and the machinery produces 30,300 units. From the information given, compute the depreciation charge for 2021 under each of the following methods.
a. straight line $_____:
b. Units-of-output $________:
c. Working Hours $______:
d. Sum-of-the-years-digits $_________:
e. Declining balance (use 20% as the annual rate).
Answer:
Waterway Corp.
a. straight line $__29,700___:
b. Units-of-output $__37,875___:
c. Working Hours $___31,482___:
d. Sum-of-the-years-digits $____48,600_____:
e. Declining balance (use 20% as the annual rate) = $54,704
Explanation:
Cost of machinery purchased on May 1, 2020 = $315,600
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Salvage value = $18,600
Depreciable amount = $297,000
Production units = 237,600
Working hours = 25,000
Straight-line method:
Annual Depreciation Expense = $29,700 ($297,000/10)
Production units:
Depreciation per unit = $1.25 ($297,000/237,600)
Working hours:
Depreciation per hour = $11.88 ($297,000/25,000)
Sum-of-the-years-digits = 55 years;
Depreciation per year = $5,400 ($297,000/55)
Declining balance rate = 20% (100/10 * 2)
During 2021:
Straight-line:
Depreciation expense = $29,700
Machine hours used = 2,650
Depreciation expense = 2,650 * $11.88
= $31,482
Production units = 30,300
Depreciation expense = 30,300 * $1.25
= $37,875
Sum-of-the-years-digits:
Depreciation expense = 9 * $5,400 = $48,600
Declining balance:
2020 = $315,600 * 20% * 8/12 = $63,120 * 8/12 = $42,080
2021 balance = $273,520
2021 Depreciation expense = $273,520 * 20% = $54,704

Explanation:
To solve the question, we need to calculate the current sales. This will be calculated by using the formula:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
54 = 820000 × 365 / Sales
Sales = 820000 × 365 / 54
Sales = 5542593
After the new policy, the expected sales will be:
= 5542593 × (1 - 15%)
= 5542593 × (1 - 0.15)
= 5542593 × 0.85
= 4711204.5
The level of accounts receivable following the change will be:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
35 = Account receivable × 365 / 4711204.5
Account receivable = 35 × 4711204.5 / 365
Account receivable = 451759.29
1) The pen example in the video suggests that most salespeople ____________________. a struggle to get a foot in the door b are at least polite c ask the right questions before making a sales presentation d focus on relationship building in the first meeting with the customer e start by highlighting the features and points-of-difference of a product
Answer:
A. struggle to get a foot in the door
Explanation:
The example of pen was used to define the fact that most salespeople start off by asking or telling the usual instead of analysing the situation and determining the right questions to be asked from the customer which ultimately leads to most of sales individuals to struggle.
Like in this case where a salesperson is given a pen, he would start by saying that he has a pen to sell with multiple colours, they are affordable and lightweight. These questions are too generic and may not interest the customer. Instead to sale better one must ask intelligent questions that will be relevant for the customer in order to pitch them the right kind of product.
C Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $808,200 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $141,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,800. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,800. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice 11.28% 5.28% 6.52% 16.88%
Answer:
6.52%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
New machine cost = $808,200
Scrap sold = $22,800
Cost of investment = $808,200 - $22,800 = $785,400
Saving from new machine = $141,000
Annual depreciation of machine = $89,800
Net operating income = $141,000 - $89,800 = $51,200
Now we can calculate the rate of return by using following formula,
Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ Cost of Investment
= $51,200 ÷ $785,400
= 6.52%
Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours. For this, she can anticipate a pay raise, a promotion, or an expanded sales territory. However, getting a promotion is most important to Joyce. According to the useful guidelines of the ____ theory, Jim, her manager, must recognize that (1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion, (2) what motivates Joyce will change over time, and (3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.
Answer:
Expectancy theory
Explanation:
Expectancy theory states that when an individual is faced with different choices they will be motivated in a certain way in choosing a particular option based on what they expect to be the result of the choice.
So behaviour is affected by perceived result or consequence of a particular choice.
In the given scenario Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours, and getting a promotion is most important to Joyce.
So because of her expectations that manager must recognise that:
(1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion,
(2) what motivates Joyce will change over time (if she does not get the promotion), and
(3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.
Commercial paper. Criss-Cross Manufacturers will issue commercial paper for a short-term cash inflow. Criss-Cross must raise $, and the paper will have a maturity of days. If this paper has a maturity value of $ and is selling at an annual interest rate of , what are the proceeds from each paper; that is, what is the discount rate on the commercial paper? What is the discount rate on the commercial paper? nothing% (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Proceeds from Commercial paper $48,035.92
Discount rate on commercial paper 3.93%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the proceeds from eachpaper
First step is to calculate 182 days rate
182 days rate = 0.082 * 182/365
182 days rate= 0.040887671
Now let calculate the Proceeds from Commercial paper using this formula
Proceeds from Commercial paper = Par value * 1/(1+i for time of issue)
Let plug in the formula
Proceeds from Commercial paper =$50,000 *1/(1+0.040887671)
Proceeds from Commercial paper=$48,035.92
Therefore The proceeds from commercial paper is $48,035.92
Calculation to determine the discount rate on the commercialpaper
First step is to calculate the Discount
Discount = $50,000-$48035.92
Discount=$1,964.02
Now let calculate the Discount rate on commercial paper
Discount rate on commercial paper =$1964.02./50000
Discount rate on commercial paper = 0.039282*100
Discount rate on commercial paper= 3.93%
Therefore the Discount rate on commercial paper is 3.93%
Russell Retail Group begins the year with inventory of $50,000 and ends the year with inventory of $40,000. During the year, the company has four purchases for the following amounts.
Purchase on February 17 $ 205,000
Purchase on May 6 125,000
Purchase on September 8 155,000
Purchase on December 4 405,000
Required:
Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
COGS= $900,000
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Beginning inventory= $50,000
Ending inventory= $40,000
Purchase on February 17 $ 205,000
Purchase on May 6 125,000
Purchase on September 8 155,000
Purchase on December 4 405,000
Total= $890,000
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 50,000 + 890,000 - 40,000
COGS= $900,000
Assume a division of Hewlett-Packard currently makes 12,000 circuit boards per year used in producing diagnostic electronic instruments at a cost of $34 per board, consisting of variable costs per unit of $24 and fixed costs per unit of $10.
Further assume Sanmina-SCI offers to sell Hewlett-Packard the 12,000 circuit boards for $34 each.
If Hewlett-Packard accepts this offer, the facilities currently used to make the boards could be rented to one of Hewlett-Packard's suppliers for $46,000 per year.
In addition, $6 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to the circuit boards would be totally eliminated.
Calculate the net benefit (cost) to HP of outsourcing the component from Samina-SCI.
(Use a negative sign with your answer, if appropriate.)
Answer:
The net benefit is -$26,000
Explanation:
Given the above information,
The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Total purchase price
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Fixed overhead cost applied
= 12,000 × $6
= $72,000
The rental income = $46,000
Outsourcing cost
= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income
= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000
= $434,000
Therefore, Net benefit
= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost
=$408,000 - $434,000
= -$26,000
A new firm is developing its business plan. It will require $565,000 of assets, and it projects $452,800 of sales and $354,300 of operating costs for the first year. Management is quite sure of these numbers because of contracts with its customers and suppliers. It can borrow at a rate of 7.5%, but the bank requires it to have a TIE of at least 4.0, and if the TIE falls below this level the bank will call in the loan and the firm will go bankrupt. What is the maximum debt-to-assets ratio the firm can use
Answer:
58.11%
Explanation:
Sales = $452,800
Operating costs= 354,300
Operating Income (EBIT) = $98,500
TIE= 4.00
Maximum interest expense= EBIT/TIE= $24,625
Interest rate= 7.50%
Max. debt =Max interest/Interest rate = $328,333
Maximum debt ratio=Debt/ Assets= 58.11%
Key Co. plans to present comparative financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20X1 and 20X2, respectively. Smith, CPA, audited Key's financial statements for both years and plans to report on the comparative financial statements on May 1, 20X3. Key's current management team was not present until January 1, 20X2. What period of time should be covered by Key's management representation letter
Answer: B. January 1, 20X1, through May 1, 20X3
Explanation:
The management representation letter should cover all the periods that will be in the auditor's report not just the periods that the current management team was in effect in.
Even though the financial statements are for the years ended December 31, 20X1 and 20X2, the auditor has a responsibility to include the events that happened all the way up to the date the reports will be released on May 20X3.
This is why the management representation letter needs to include the entire period of January 1, 20X1, through May 1, 20X3 because those will be in the audit report.
