Answer:
a. $64 per hour
b. Tortilla chips = $9.60, Potato chips = $7.68 , Pretzels = $6.40
Explanation:
Plant-wide factory overhead rate = Budgeted Overhead / Budgeted Activity
Calculation of Budgeted Overheads :
Hint : Consider only Indirect Manufacturing Costs
Factory depreciation $13,645
Indirect labor $33,817
Factory electricity $3,856
Indirect materials $8,010
Total $59,328
Calculation of Budgeted Hours :
Tortilla chips (1,500 × 0.15) = 225
Potato chips (3,600 × 0.12) = 432
Pretzels (2,700 × 0.10 ) = 270
Total = 927
Plant-wide factory overhead rate = $59,328 / 927
= $64 per hour
Factory overhead allocated to each of the three products :
Tortilla chips (0.15 × $64) = $9.60
Potato chips 0.12 × $64) = $7.68
Pretzels (0.10 × $64) = $6.40

A company's flexible budget for 13,200 units of production showed sales, $54,120; variable costs, $21,120; and fixed costs, $18,000. The operating income expected if the company produces and sells 19,600 units is:
Answer:
Net income= $31,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 13,200
Sales= 54,120
Variable costs= $21,120
Fixed costs= $18,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin/number of units
Unitary contribution margin= (54,120 - 21,120) / 13,200
Unitary contribution margin= $2.5
Now, for 19,600 units:
Total contribution margin= 2.5*19,600= 49,000
Fixed costs= (18,000)
Net income= 31,000
A copy machine acquired on July 1 with a cost of $1,450 has an estimated useful life of four years. Assuming that it will have a residual value of $250, determine the depreciation for the first year by the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $1,450
Salvage value= $250
Useful life= 4 years
First, we need to determine the annual depreciation for the whole year using the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(1,450 - 250) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $600
Now, for 6 months:
Annual depreciation= (600/12)*6= $300
Identify each of the following items as either a capital expenditure (C), an immediate expense (E), or neither (N):
1. Paid property taxes of $75,000 for the first year the new building is occupied.
2. Paid interest on construction note for new plant building, $550,000
3. Repaired plumbing in main plant, paying $270,000 cash.
4. Purchased equipment for new manufacturing plant, $6,000,000; financed with long-term nc
5. Paid dividends of $40,000.
6. Purchased a computer and peripheral equipment for $29,000 cash.
7. Paved a parking lot on leased property for $300,000.
8. Paid $90,000 in cash for installation of equipment in (4).
9. Paid $148,000 to tear down old building on new plant site.
10. Paid $31 ,000 maintenance on equipment in (4) during its first year of use.
Answer:
Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure.
Options 1, 3, and 10 are the immediate expenses.
Option 5 is Neither.
Explanation:
Capital expenditure is those expenditures that are incurred to maintain the fixed assets. Thus Options 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are capital expenditure. While the expenses that are compulsory and immediate in nature are called the immediate expenses. This means if the equipment requires repairing then it will fall in the category of immediate expense because without repairing it won't work. Therefore, a property tax of $75000, repair of the main plant, and maintenance for equipment are immediate expenses.

Q3) At an output level of 45,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 2.79. If output rises to 48,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be
Answer: 18.6%
Explanation:
Degree of operating leverage = % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output
% change in Output
= [tex]\frac{48,000 - 45,000}{45,000}[/tex]
= 6.7%
Degree of operating leverage = % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output
2.79 = % change in Operating cash flow/ 6.7%
% change in Operating cash flow = 2.79 * 6.7%
% change in Operating cash flow = 18.6%

You are thinking of building a new machine that will save you $ 4 comma 000$4,000 in the first year. The machine will then begin to wear out so that the savings decline at a rate of 1 %1% per year forever. What is the present value of the savings if the interest rate is 9 %9% per year?
Answer:
The present value of the savings=$37,064.22
Explanation:
The present value of the savings is the amount that it worths today, this would be done in two stages;
The first stage is to determined the present of the first cash savings as follows:
PV of the first payment = 4,000 × (1.09)^(-1)=3,669.72
Second step is to determine the present value of the declining perpetuity
PV of declining perpetuity. A perpetuity is the series of cash flow occurring for the foreseeable future of years.
A- 4,000, g-negative growth rate = 1%,
interest rate = 9%
PV in year 1 = 4,000× (1-0.09)/(0.09+0.01)
= 36,400
PV in year 0 = 36,400 × (1.09)^(-1) = 33,394.49
The present value of the savings = 33,394.49 + 3,669.72= 37,064.22
The present value of the savings=$37,064.22
A buyer and a seller enter into a real estate sales contract. Under the contract's terms, the buyer will pay the seller $500 a month for 10 years. The seller will continue to hold legal title, while the buyer will live in the home and pay all real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and regular upkeep costs. What kind of contract do the buyer and seller have
Answer: Land Sales Contract
Explanation:
Land Sales contract are a way to buy a property for people who would otherwise be unable to buy one because they were unable to get a mortgage or are running low in funds.
It works by the buyer paying the seller a certain amount of money for a period of time according to an agreement. During this period of payment, the seller continues to hold the legal rights to the property and then passes it to the buyer when they are finished paying. In this scenario therefore, the seller effectively plays the role of a mortgage bank.
If actual overhead incurred during a period exceeds applied overhead, the difference will be a credit balance in the Factory Overhead account at the end of the period.

Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $230,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 1/4. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense.
1. Using the implied selling price of 117 1/4, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds.
2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
A.$269,675
B.$305,325
C.$10,787
Explanation:
Requirement A Cash proceeds
Cash proceeds can find out by multiplying par value with the selling price
Cash proceeds = Par Value x Selling price
Cash proceeds = $230,000 x 117.25%
Cash proceeds = $269,675
Requirement B Interest Expense
Bond interest expense =Total repayment -Amount borrowed(REQ.A)
Bond interest expense = $575,000(w) - $269,675
Bond interest expense = $305,325
Workings
Semi-annual interest expense = $230,000 x 10% x 6/12
Semi-annual interest expense = $11,500
Total payment would be 30 for 15 years
Total payment = $11,500 x 30
Total payment = $345,000
Total repayment = Par value + $345,000
Total repayment = $230,000 + $345,000
Total repayment = $575,000
Requirement C Bond interest expense on the first interest payment date
Bond interest Expense = $269,675(REQ.A) x 8% x 6/12
Bond interest Expense = $10,787

I The rights agent usually handles the mechanics of a rights offering II The rights agent is usually the existing transfer agent of the issuer III The rights agent issues the additional shares upon presentation of the rights certificates with payment"
Answer:
I, II, and III
I The rights agent usually handles the mechanics of a rights offering
II The rights agent is usually the existing transfer agent of the issuer
III The rights agent issues the additional shares upon presentation of the rights certificates with payment
Explanation:
Aright is defined as an offering to existing shareholders to purchase more shares. Usually there is a proportion of original shares the shareholder can now purchase. For example 1 to 5 shares means the shareholder can buy one share for every 5 old shares owned.
A rights agent is a person or entity that is responsible for maintaining records on behalf of rights holders.
When rights are issued, a rights agent is handles sales to shareholders, he is usually the initial transfer agent for the issuing company, and he issues the additional shares when payment and rights certificates are presented.
During the last five years, average daily occupancy at Autumn Acres nursing home has slid from 125 to 95 even though Autumn Acres has cut its daily rate from $125 to $115. Do these data suggest that occupancy would have been higher if Autumn Acres had raised its rates? What changes in nonprice demand factors might explain this change? (The supply, or the number of nursing home beds in the area, has not changed during this period.)
Answer:
no
Decline in the number of aged people in the population
The quality of care offered might have declined
Preference to be cared for at home instead of at care home
increase in death rate among the elderly
Explanation:
Even though, there seem to be a positive correlation between the price of daily rates and occupancy. it doesn't imply that increasing the rates would increase occupancy rates. there might be other factors explaining the decline.
some of these factors include :
1. decline in the number of the aged in the population : if the proportion of the aged in the population has reduced, the nursing home would experience a decline in residents
2. if the quality of care received by patients has also reduced, the aged might prefer other nursing homes.
3. there might be a shift in reference. the aged might prefer to be cared for at home by family and friends instead of staying in a nursing home.
Increase in death rate among the elderly : if there is an increase in mortality rate, the care home would experience a decline in occupancy

The common stock of Auto Deliveries currently sells for $28.99 a share. The stock is expected to pay an annual dividend of $1.34 per share next year. The firm has established a pattern of increasing its dividends by 4 percent annually and expects to continue doing so. The estimated market rate of return on this stock is _______ percent.
Answer:
8.62%
Explanation:
The common stock of Auto deliveries currently sells for $28.99 per share
The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.34
The growth rate is 4%
= 4/100
= 0.04
Therefore, the market rate of return on the stock can be calculated as follows
Market rate= dividend/stock price + growth rate
= $1.34/$28.99 + 0.04
= 0.04622+0.04
= 0.0862×100
= 8.62%
Hence the estimated market rate of return on the stock is 8.62%
Consider a service company that provides carpet cleaning and uses straight-line depreciation. Classify the cost of the depreciation on the carpet cleaning machines.
a. Fixed
b. Indirect
Answer:
Both :
a. Fixed and,
b. Indirect
Explanation:
The depreciation expense on production machinery form part of the product or service cost.
The cost however, can not be traced to the product or service that is why it is an Indirect cost as opposed to the direct costs which can be traced directly on the product or service.
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation thus the depreciation is a fixed charge.

Exercise 10-6 Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances [LO10-1, LO10-2] Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 7.40 pounds $ 2.60 per pound $ 19.24 Direct labor 0.45 hours $ 8.00 per hour $ 3.60 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: 12,100.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.50 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 1,500 units of Zoom. 575 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $5,750. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct material:
Standard= 7.40 pounds $ 2.60 per pound
Actual= 12,100 pounds of material were purchased for $2.50 per pound.
Direct labor:
Standard= 0.45 hours $ 8.00 per hour
Actual= 575 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $5,750
Units produced= 1,500
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.6 - 2.5)*12,100
Direct material price variance= $1,210 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
standard quantity= 1,500*7.4= 11,100
Direct material quantity variance= (11,100 - 12,100)*2.6
Direct material quantity variance= $2,600 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 1,500*0.45= 675
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (675 - 575)*8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $800 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 5,750/575= $10
Direct labor rate variance= (8 - 10)*575
Direct labor rate variance= $1,150 unfavorable

Massena Corporation reported the following data for the month of February:
Inventories: Beginning Ending
Raw materials (Direct and Indirect) $40000 $24000
Work in process $23000 $17000
Finished goods $50000 $72000
Additional information:
Raw materials purchases $63000
Direct labor cost $73700
Manufacturing overhead $55000
cost actually incurred
Raw materials included in
manufacturing overhead costs
incurred as indirect materials $5000
Manufacturing overhead cost
applied to Work in Process $48000
The adjusted cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for February is:____
$=
Answer:
$186,700
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cost of goods sold is shown below:-
Before that we need to do the following calculations
Raw material consumed = Beginning raw material + Raw material purchases - Ending raw materials - Raw materials included in manufacturing overhead costs as indirect materials
= $40,000 + $63,000 - $24,000 - $5,000
= $74,000
Total manufacturing cost = Beginning work in progress + Raw material consumed + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost - Ending work in progress
= $23,000 + $74,000 + $73,700 + $48,000 - $17,000
= $201,700
Unadjusted Cost of goods sold = Raw materials + Total manufacturing cost - Ending finished goods
= $50,000 + $201,700 - $72,000
= $179,700
