Penn Company uses a periodic inventory system. At the end of the annual accounting period, December 31 of the current year, the accounting records provided the following information for product 1: Units Unit Cost Inventory, December 31, prior year 2,000 $ 5 For the current year: Purchase, March 21 5,000 6 Purchase, August 1 3,000 8 Inventory, December 31, current year 4,000 Required: Compute ending inventory and cost of goods sold for the current year under FIFO, LIFO, and average cost inventory costing methods.
Answer:
Total unit sold = Opening balance + Purhase in march + Purchase in August - Closing balance
Total unit sold = 2000 + 5000 +3000 - 4000
Total unit sold = 6000 units
1. FIFO method:
So total cost of goods sold is (2000*$5) + (4000*$6)= $34,000
Ending inventory value is (1000*$6) + (3000*$8) = $30,000
2. LIFO method:
So total value of goods sold is (3000*$8) + (3000*$6) = $42,000
Ending inventory value is (2000*6) + (2000*$5) = $22,000
3. Average cost of inventory:
Opening inventory (2000* $5) + Purchase on Mar.21 (5000*$6) + Purchase on August 1 (3000*$8) = $64,000
Total units = 2000 + 5000 + 3000
Total units = 10,000
Average cost is $64,000/10,000 (units) = $6.40 per unit
So, Cost of goods sold is 6000*$6.40 = $38,400
Ending Inventory value is 4000*$6.40 = $25,600
Sheffield Corp. assigned $1601000 of accounts receivable to Pharoah Company as security for a loan of $1344000. Pharoah charged a 2% commission on the amount of the loan; the interest rate on the note was 9%. During the first month, Sheffield collected $404000 on assigned accounts after deducting $1480 of discounts. Sheffield accepted returns worth $5400 and wrote off assigned accounts totaling $11910. The amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was
Answer:
$1,317,120
Explanation:
Cash received by Sheffield Corporation at the time of assignment = Amount borrowed - Commission paid
= $1,344,000 - ($1,344,000 * 2%)
= $1,344,000 - $26,880
= $1,317,120
So, the amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was $1,317,120
Two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive
process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation
include:
Answer:
task performance and group maintenance.
Explanation:
Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.
This ultimately implies that, beyond an individual possessing the traits or qualities of a leader, leadership in itself is a process that revolves around the activities or happenings between the leader and those who he or she is leading, which are the followers. Thus, leadership is simply a continuous process and it's transactional in nature because it occurs between a leader and the followers.
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.
Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive power, etc.
Hence, two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation include task performance and group maintenance.
Leaders are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the follower performs his or her duties or tasks as stated in the contract and to foster cohesion among the various team members.

Kyle, a single taxpayer, worked as a freelance software engineer for the first three months of 2020. During that time, he earned $76,000 of self-employment income. On April 1, 2020, Kyle took a job as a full-time software engineer with one of his former clients, Hoogle Inc. From April through the end of the year, Kyle earned $196,000 in salary. What amount of FICA taxes (self-employment and employment related) does Kyle owe for the year
Answer:
$18,943.40
Explanation:
FICA taxes when Kyle was self employed = $76,000 x 15.3% = $11,628
Social security taxes while employed = ($137,700 - $76,000) x 6.2% = $3,825.40
Medicare taxes while employed = [($200,000 - $76,000) x 1.45%] + [($196,000 + $76,000 - $200,000) x 2.35%] = $1,798 + $1,692 = $3,490
Total FICA taxes = $18,943.40

National defense is a good that is non excludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that, instead of national defense being paid with tax dollars, national defense is paid by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia.
Alan, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national defense budget Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Alan. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10. Every $1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense, leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.25. This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.50 to Latvia as a whole.
Suppose that, instead of relying on voluntary contributions, the government simply levies a tax of $10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Alan be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10 instead of contributing voluntarily?
If Alan is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number.
Answer:
Alan is better off by $15
Explanation:
the number of citizens in latvia = 10
if citizens were levied $10 each, total amount
= 10*10
=$100
each persons valuation = 100*0.25
= $25
$25 is also Alans valuation sice he is a part of this population.
since he contribited $10, his net gain would be
$25.00 - $10.00
= $15.00
Alan is better of by $15 in the tax system.
The PLM Partnership balance sheet includes the following assets on December 31 of the current year: Basis FMV Cash $ 230,000 $ 230,000 Accounts receivable 0 75,000 Land 70,000 100,000 Total $ 300,000 $ 405,000 Pamela, a 1/3 partner, has an adjusted basis of $100,000 for her partnership interest. If Pamela sells her entire partnership interest to Emma for $135,000 cash, how much capital gain and ordinary income must Pamela recognize from the sale?
Answer: Capital gain recognized = $10000
Ordinary Income recognized = $25000
Explanation:
Since Pamela is a 1/3 partner, we should note that her share of the unrealized receivables will be 1/3 of the unrealized receivables and this will be:
= 1/3 × $75000
= $25000
Therefore, $25,000 of ordinary income will be recognized by Pamela and the capital gain will be:
= $35000 - $25000
= $10,000
Allison has a horse stall cleaning business that has been growing rapidly since she started it three years ago. She estimates the total number of horse stalls in her market to be 5000, owned by a total potential population of 1500. Currently, there are only two competitors in the market, Allison, who has 439 stalls that she cleans, and Sam's Hayfaring Maneger, that cleans 1,450 stalls. The remainder of the stalls are cleaned by their owners rather than by a service. Allison prices her cleaning services at $11 per stall per month and Sam charges $8 for the same service. Allison's sales are derived from 136 customers while Sam's are from 54 customers, meaning that Sam's customers have more stalls on a per capita basis.
1. What is the market penetration rate based on potential customers
2. What is Allison's unit market share (based on stalls cleaned)?
3. What are Allison's monthly revenues?
4. What is Allison's revenue market share?
5. What is Allison's relative market share based on units?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Market penetration rates
For alison = 136 ÷1500 = 9.07%
For Sam = 54 ÷ 1500 = 3.6%
So, Total market penetration based on potential customers is
= 9.07% + 3.6%
= 12.67%
2. alison's unit market share is
= alison's business ÷ total business in market
= 439 ÷ (439 + 1450)
= 23.24%
3. alison's revenue is
= $11 × 439
= $4,829
4 alison's revenue market share is = alison's revenue ÷ total revenue
= $4,829 ÷ ($4,829 + 8 × 1450)
= 29.39%
5 relatve market share is
= alison's market in terms of units ÷ competitor's market share in term of units
= 0.2324 ÷ (1 - 0.2324)
= 30.32%
Mcewan Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 48,000 direct labor-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $307,200, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $2.80 per direct labor-hour. Job X941, which was for 50 units of a custom product, was recently completed. The job cost sheet for the job contained the following data:
Total direct labor-hours 300
Direct materials $600
Direct labor cost $6,400
Required:
Calculate the selling price for Job X941 if the company marks up its unit product costs by 20%.
Answer:
$234.24 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price for Job X941 is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be determined
The Predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead per DLH + Fixed overhead per DLH
= $2.80 + ($307,200 ÷ 48,000)
= $9.2 per DLH
Now the Total cost of Job X941 is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $600 + $6,400 + (300 × $10)
= $9,760
And, finally
The Selling price per unit of Job X941 is
= Unit product costs × 120%
= ($9,760 ÷ 50) × 120%
= $234.24 per unit

Activity Expected Costs Expected Activity Handling materials $ 625,000 100,000 parts Inspecting product 900,000 1,500 batches Processing purchase orders 105,000 700 orders Paying suppliers 175,000 500 invoices Insuring the factory 300,000 40,000 square feet Designing packaging 75,000 2 models Required: 1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate, assuming that the company assigns overhead based on 125,000 budgeted direct labor hours. 2. In January 2017, the Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours and the basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours. Assign overhead costs to each model using the single plantwide overhead rate.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Plant wide overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.
where,
Budgeted Overheads :
Handling materials 625,000
Inspecting product 900,000
Processing purchase orders 105,000
Paying suppliers 175,000
Insuring the factory 300,000
Designing packaging 75,000
Total Cost 2,180,000
And, the budgeted activity is 125,000
So, Plant wide overhead rate is
= Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.
= $2,180,000/125,000
= $17.44 per direct labor hour
Now Assignment of Overheads
As Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours
So, Deluxe model = 2,500 × $17.44
= $43,600
As Basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours
So, Basic model = 6,000 × $17.44
= $104,640
b. A Venezuelan-style economic collapse would be less likely in a mixed economy like the United States because
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused.
b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.
c. mixed economies like the United States usually have a more equal distribution of income.
d. inflation is always low in a mixed economy.
Answer:
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused. b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.Explanation:
Venezuela is a planned / command economy which means that the government directs production of goods and services in the country. This can lead to corruption as those in government would become quite powerful and engage in activities that would make them richer at the expense of the nation because they will have the required access to do so.
As the government directs most things, there is less private industry and competition. With a lack of competition, companies will not see the need to compete and would end up being inefficient.
These are what happened in Venezuela.
The stock of Business Adventures sells for $40 a share. Its likely dividend payout and end-of-year price depend on the state of the economy by the end of the year as follows: Dividend Stock Price Boom $2.00 $50 Normal economy 1.00 43 Recession 0.50 34 a. Calculate the expected holding-period return and standard deviation of the holding-period return. All three scenarios are equally likely. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio invested half in Business Adventures and half in Treasury bills. The return on bills is 4%.
Answer:
a. Expected holding-period return = 8.75%; and Standard deviation = 17.88%.
b. Portfolio expected return = 6.38%; and Portfolio standard deviation = 8.94%.
Explanation:
Given:
Dividend Stock Price
Boom $2.00 $50
Normal economy 1.00 43
Recession 0.50 34
a. Calculate the expected holding-period return and standard deviation of the holding-period return. All three scenarios are equally likely. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of expected return on standard deviation
The following are used in the excel.
HPY = Holding period yield = (((P1 - P0) + D1)/ P0) * 100
P1 = Year ending price of stock
P0 = Beginning price of stock
D1 = Dividend in each of the scenarios.
Boom = (((50 - 40) + 2)/ 40) * 100 = 30%
Normal = (((43 - 40) + 1)/ 40) * 100 = 10%
Recession = (((34 - 40) + 0.50)/ 40) * 100 = -13.75
From the excel file, we have:
E(X) = Expected holding-period return = 8.75%
Variance = 319.79
SD = Standard deviation = √variance = 17.88%
b. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio invested half in Business Adventures and half in Treasury bills. The return on bills is 4%.
W1 = Weight of T - Bills = 0.50
W2 = Weight of stock = 0.50
Rf = Return on T - Bill = 4
Rs = Expected return on stock = 8.75
Portfolio expected return = (0.50 * 4) + (0.50 * 8.75) = 6.38%
Portfolio standard deviation = (0.50 * 0) + (0.50 * 17.88) = 8.94%
Dermody Snow Removal's cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $3,030 per month plus $333 per snow-day. For the month of December, the company planned for activity of 15 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 17 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $8,300. The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to:
Answer:
391 F
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to
Using this formula
Spending variance for vehicle operating cost = Flexible budget-Actual
Let plug in the formula
Spending variance for vehicle operating cost= (333*17+3,030)-8300
Spending variance for vehicle operating cost=(5,661+3,030)-8,300
Spending variance for vehicle operating cost=8,691-8,300
Spending variance for vehicle operating cost=391 F
Therefore The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to
391 F

A standard measure of leverage is the debt/equity ratio. According to conventional wisdom among financial analysts, a high debt/equity ratio indicates a high risk of insolvency or ultimate bankruptcy; conversely, a low debt/equity ratio indicates that the company is relatively solvent and able to meet its long-term obligations. Please see PowerPoints 59 and 60 in chapter 3 (copied below). In the case of Apple, their debt/equity ratio actually increased from 2002 to 2020. In other words, Apple carries more debt today relative to its equity than it did in 2002. However, very few people would argue that Apple is a riskier company today than in 2002. Please make an argument, supported by data, for why Apple is at least as solvent today as it was in 2002, despite its much higher debt/equity ratio. The argument should not just be supported by data, but you also need to provide either an additional keen insight (addressed to an accounting/finance professional) or do an excellent job explaining the concept to an audience member who is not an accounting/finance professional.
To whom did you address the answer above, to a professional or non-professional?
Answer:
There are three main reasons why Apple is a less risky company in 2020 than it was in 2020:
Apple is sitting on an enormous amount of cash. Apple has over 39 billion in cash, which is a very good amount to meet interest payments and dividend payments, making it very unlikely for the company to become unsolvent in the near future.Apple has a very high market capitalization, which is the total monetary value of the company stock. In fact, Apple is the number one company in the world by market capitalization, with 2.0 trillion dollars of market cap.The value of the stock of Apple has gone up substantially since 2002, sitting currently at 121 USD per share. This represents public confidence in the company from investors, and since Apple has good fundamentals, it is unlikely that the price of the stock will go down substantially in the near future.
Hyu Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 52,400 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.82 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,196,840. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 53,000 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year would be $25.66
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is computed as;
= Total estimated manufacturing overhead / estimated direct labor
Where;
Total estimated manufacturing overhead = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead + estimated variable manufacturing overhead rate × estimated labor hours
= $1,196,840 + $2.82 × 52,400
= $1,196,840 + $147,768
= $1,344,608
Therefore,
Predetermined rate = $1,344,608 / 52,400 hours
Predetermined rate = $25.66
Steve and Holly report the following items for 2020: Dividend income $16,000 Interest income 14,000 Itemized deductions (none of the amount resulted from a casualty loss) (26,000) Business capital gains 2,000 Business capital losses (10,000) In calculating their net operating loss, and with respect to the above amounts only, what amount must be added back to taxable income (loss)
Answer: ($4000)
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount that must be added back to taxable income (loss) in calculating their net operating loss, will be:
Dividend income = $16000
Add: Interest income = $14000
Add: Business capital gain = $2000
Less: Business loss = $10000
Less: Itemized deduction = $26000
Taxable loss = ($16000 + $14000 + $2000) - ($10000 + $26000)
= $32000 - $36000
= - $4000
Jenny, who is married and the mother of three, is 25 years old and expects to work until 70. She earns $45,000 per year. Jenny expects inflation to be 3% over her working life, and the appropriate risk-free discount rate is 5%. Her personal consumption is equal to 25% of her after-tax earnings, and her combined federal and state marginal tax bracket is 15%. What is the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method
Answer:
$855,903.20
Explanation:
Real discounting rate=> i= [i'-f]/[1+f]. Where i is the real interest rate. i' is the nominal interest rate which is given as 5% and f is the rate of inflation
i = (5%-3%)/1+3%)
i = 2/1.3
i = 1.94%
Her after tax earnings = 45,000*(1-0.15) = $38,250
Personal consumption = 25% of this, 38,250*0.75 = $28,688.
We are discounting her earnings back 45 years at 1.94%. The equation will be: 28,688 * {1-(1+0.01940)^-45} / {0.01940}
= 28,688 * {1 - 0.42120322099] / 0.01940
= 28,688 * 29.83488551597938
= 855903.1956824165
= $855,903.20
So, the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method is $855,903.20
Since EBIT is not necessarily indicative of cash flow, many financial analysts adjust the formulation by: a. adding unpaid taxes to EBIT in the TIE formula b. adding unpaid taxes and interest to EBIT in the formula c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula d. adding unpaid taxes, interest and depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Answer: c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Explanation:
The Times Interest Earned Ratio is used to measure the ease by which a company can pay its interest charges using its earnings before tax.
As depreciation is a non-cash expense, the amount apportioned to depreciation can be used when paying for interest so adding it back to the EBIT ensures that the cash resources of the company are included in the analysis of whether a company can pay back debt.

RideShare offers short-term rentals of vehicles that are kept in small lots in urban neighborhoods with plenty of potential customers. With one lot, it has six cars. The interarrival time of potential demand for this lot from its base of customers is 20 minutes. The average rental period is 4 hours. If a customer checks availability of vehicles in this lot online and finds that they are all rented for the desired time, the customer skips renting and finds alternative arrangements. However, because customers pay a monthly fee to subscribe to this service, RideShare does not want customers to be disappointed too often.
Required:
a. What is the offered load?
b. What is the implied utilization?
c. What is the capacity of the process (rentals per hour)?
d. What is the probability that all eight cars are rented at the same time?
Answer:
a. Offered load = 1 lot / 4 hours = 6 cars/4 hours = 1.5 cars/hours
b. Demand rate = Total cars per 4 hours/20 minutes time
Demand rate = 6*4 / 20
Demand rate = 24/20
Demand rate = 1.2 cars/hours
Implied utilization = Demand rate / Offered load
Implied utilization = 1.2/1.5
Implied utilization = 0.8
Implied utilization = 80%
c. Capacity of the process = 1 lot / 5 hours
Capacity of the process = 6 / 5
Capacity of the process = 1.2 rentals per hours
d. Probability that all eight cars are rented at the same time
