[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Angle Max Industries produces a product which goes through two operations, Assembly and Finishing, before it is ready to be shipped. Next year’s expected costs and activities are shown below.
Assembly Finishing
Direct labor hours 190,000 DLH 149,000 DLH
Machine hours 390,000 MH 95,550 MH
Overhead costs $ 390,000 $ 581,100
TB MC Qu. 17-117 Assume that the Assembly Department allocates...
Assume that the Assembly Department allocates overhead based on machine hours, and the Finishing Department allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. How much total overhead will be assigned to a product that requires 1 direct labor hour and 3.4 machine hours in the Assembly Department, and 4.0 direct labor hours and 0.6 machine hours in the Finishing Department?
Answer:
Total allocated costs= $19
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for each department:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Assembly= 390,000 / 390,000= $1 per machine hour
Finishing= 581,100 / 149,000= $3.9 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Assembly= 1*3.4= $3.4
Finishing= 3.9*4= $15.6
Total allocated costs= $19
Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:
Sales (358,400 units) $4,377,000
Cost of goods sold 2,590,720
Gross profit 1,786,280
Operating expenses 837,760
Net income $948,520
Cost of goods sold was 70% variable and 30% fixed; operating expenses were 80% variable and 20% fixed. In September, Cullumber receives a special order for 24,500 toasters at $8.38 each from Luna Company of Ciudad Juarez. Acceptance of the order would result in an additional $2,900 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed costs.
Required:
Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order.
Answer:
Net Income will increase by $32,625
Explanation:
The Incremental analysis for the special order is done below:
Reject Order Accept Order Net Income -
Increase/(decrease)
Revenue $0.00 $205,310 $205,310
Cost of goods Sold $0.00 ($123,970) ($123,970)
Operating Expense $0.00 ($48,715) ($48,715)
Net Income $0.00 $32,625 $32,625
Revenue
This is calculated by multiplying the number of units of special order with the price per unit i.e. $8.38. As shown below:
24,500 x $8.38 = $205,310
Cost of Goods Sold
As there is only change in the variable cost due to the manufacturing of additional units. Therefore, we would calculate the additional variable cost by multiplying the number of units with the variable cost per unit.
Variable Cost per unit = (2,590,720 * 70%) / 358,400 units = $5.06 per unit
Cost of Goods Sold = 24,500 x $5.06 = $123,970
Operating expense
As there is only change in the variable cost due to the manufacturing of additional units. Therefore, we would calculate the additional variable cost by multiplying the number of units with the variable cost per unit. Then we would add the additional shipping cost of $2,900/
Operating Expense Variable Cost per unit = (837,760 * 80%) / 358,400 units = $1.87 per unit
Operating Expense = 24,500 x $1.87 = $45,815 + $2900 = $48,715

Answer:
$120,700
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The total cost of operating the Assembly Department for the current period is
First step is to Allocate Maintenance costs to Assembly department
Assembly=$25,500 × (15,000/25 000) >= $15,300
Now let calculate the Total Assembly costs
Total Assembly costs= $105,400 + 15,300
Total Assembly costs= $120,700
Therefore The total cost of operating the Assembly Department for the current period is $120,700
The Work in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company has a $3,550 debit balance. The company applies overhead using direct labor cost. The cost sheet of the only job still in process shows direct material cost of $1,610 and direct labor cost of $870. Therefore, the amount of applied overhead is:
Answer:
$1,070
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of applied overhead is:
Using this formula
Applied overhead = Total cost of WIP - Direct materials - Direct labor
Let plug in the formula
Applied overhead= $3,550 - $1,610 - $870
Applied overhead=$1,070
Therefore the amount of applied overhead is:$1,070

Answer:
information about people and information about the organization.
Explanation:
A database management system (DBMS) can be defined as a collection of software applications that typically enables computer users to create, store, modify, retrieve and manage data or informations in a database. Generally, it allows computer users to efficiently retrieve and manage their data with an appropriate level of security.
A data dictionary can be defined as a centralized collection of information on a specific data such as attributes, names, fields and definitions that are being used in a computer database system.
In a data dictionary, data elements are combined into records, which are meaningful combinations of data elements that are included in data flows or retained in data stores.
This ultimately implies that, a data dictionary found in a computer database system typically contains the records about all the data elements (objects) such as data relationships with other elements, ownership, type, size, primary keys etc. This records are stored and communicated to other data when required or needed.
Human Resources Information System (HRIS) is simply used to gather or collect data (informations) about the employee working in an organization.
Hence, two of the different data categories for an HRIS database are information about people (employees) and information about the organization.

Think back to our discussions of changes in total revenue and price and how the concept of elasticity was used. When a firm decreases price and demand is elastic, the percentage change in quantity demanded will be A) ______________ (greater than / less than) the percentage change in price. Therefore, revenue will B) ______________ (increase / decrease). If the demand is inelastic, total revenue will C) ______________ (increase / decrease) when price decreases.
Answer:
(greater than
increase
decrease
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Gerhan Company's flexible budget for the units manufactured in May shows $15,640 of total factory overhead; this output level represents 70% of available capacity. During May, the company applied overhead to production at the rate of $3.00 per direct labor hour (DLH), based on a denominator volume level of 6,120 DLHs, which represents 90% of available capacity. The company used 5,000 DLHs and incurred $16,500 of total factory overhead cost during May, including $6,800 for fixed factory overhead. What is the factory overhead efficiency variance (to the nearest whole dollar) for Gerhan Company in May, under the assumption that the company uses a two-variance breakdown (decomposition) of the total overhead variance
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Budgeted overhead at 90% capacity = 6,120 × 3 = $18,360
Budgeted overhead at 70% capacity = $15,640
DLH at 70% capacity = 6,120/90% × 70% = 4,760 hours
Variable overhead rate = ($18,360 - $15,640) / (6,120 - 4,760) = $2 per DLH
Actual hours in May = 5,000 DLH
Variable overhead efficiency variance =
(4,750 - 5,000) × $2 = $480 unfavorable
Blossom Leasing Company leases a new machine to Sharrer Corporation. The machine has a cost of $65,000 and fair value of $90,500. Under the 3-year, non-cancelable contract, Sharrer will receive title to the machine at the end of the lease. The machine has a 3-year useful life and no residual value. The lease was signed on January 1, 2020. Blossom expects to earn an 8% return on its investment, and this implicit rate is known by Sharrer. The annual rentals are payable on each December 31, beginning December 31, 2020.
Required:
Prepare an amortization schedule that would be suitable for both the lessor and the lessee and that covers all the years involved
Answer:
Note: See the attached excel file for the amortization schedule.
Explanation:
In the attached excel file,since the annual rentals are payable on each December 31, the annual Receipt/Payment is calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or fair value of the machine = $90,500
P = Annual Receipt/Payment = ?
r = Expected return rate = 8%, or 0.08
n = number of years = 3
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$90,500 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^3) / 0.08)
$90,500 = P * 2.57709698724788
P = $90,500 / 2.57709698724788
P = $35,177.03

Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System ( popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America.
Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;
I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
Generally, the government of a particular country could use a contractionary policy to slow down the economy when inflation is high and gross domestic product (GDP) is growing too.
Hence, when the Federal reserve (government) of the United States of America uses contractionary monetary policy to reduce inflation, it sells treasury securities at an increasing (high) interest rates, which eventually leads to a stronger dollar that lowers net exports (total trade) in an open economy.
At the beginning of the period, the Cutting Department budgeted direct labor of $30,000 and supervisor salaries of $20,000 for 3,000 hours of production. The department actually completed 5,000 hours of production. Determine the budget for the department assuming that it uses flexible budgeting
Answer:
Total labor cost= $70,000
Explanation:
The supervisor salary is a fixed labor cost, it is unlikely that would change with production.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable direct labor hour:
Unitary variable direct labor hour= 30,000 / 3,000
Unitary labor hour= $10
Now, the flexible budget for 5,000 hours:
Fixed cost= 20,000
Variable cost= 10*5,000= 50,000
Total labor cost= $70,000

Chiptech, Inc., is an established computer chip firm with several profitable existing products as well as some promising new products in development. The company earned $2.1 a share last year, and just paid out a dividend of $0.84 per share. Investors believe the company plans to maintain its dividend payout ratio at 40%. ROE equals 23%. Everyone in the market expects this situation to persist indefinitely.
a. What is the market price of Chiptech stock? The required return for the computer chip industry is 16%, and the company has just gone ex-dividend (i.e., the next dividend will be paid a year from now, at t = 1). (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Market price of Chiptech stock $
b. Suppose you discover that Chiptech
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Growth rate = ROE × retention ratio
= 23% × (1 - .40)
= 13.80%
Value of stock = D1 ÷ (k - g)
= 0.84 × (1 + .1380) ÷ (.16 - .1380)
= $43.45
b) Revised growth rate after year 2 = 16% × .50
= 8%
Value at T2 = D3 ÷ (k - g)
D3 = Earnings × (1 + G1)^2 × (1 + G2) × Payout ratio
= 2.1 × (1+.1380)^2 × (1+.08) × .50
= 1.47
Value at T2 = 1.47 ÷ (.16 - .08)
= $18.38
Value at T0 = Value at T2 ÷ (1 + r)^n
= 18.38 ÷ (1 + .16)^2
= 13.66

Explanation:
Pique Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $300,000.Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $200,000 each year for the next 5 years.Expenses are expected to include direct materials,direct labor,and factory overhead (excluding depreciation)totaling $80,000 per year.The firm uses straight-line depreciation with no residual value for all depreciable assets.Pique's tax rate is 40%.Management requires a minimum 10% rate of return on all investments.What is the payback period for the new machine (rounded to nearest one-tenth of a year)? (Assume that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. )
A) 2.5 years.
B) 2.7 years.
C) 3.1 years.
D) 3.6 years.
E) 4.2 years.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
Cash flow = profit after tax + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(300,000 - 0) / 5 = $60,000
Profit after tax = (1 - tax rate) x (sales - expenses - depreciation)
0.6 x ($200,000 - $80,000 - $60,000) = $36,000
Cash flow = $36,000 + 60,000 = 96,000
Payback period = $300,000 / $96,000 = 3.1 years
Suppose that business travelers and vacationers have the following demand for airline tickets from New York to Boston:
Price Quantity Demanded by Business Travelers Quantity Demanded by Vacationers (Dollars)
150 2,100 (Tickets) 1,000 (Tickets)
200 2,000 800
250 1,900 600
300 1,800 400
Required:
a. As the price of tickets rises from $200 to $250, what is the price elasticity of demand for (i) business travelers and (ii)vacationers? (Use the midpoint method in your calculations.)
b. Why might vacationers have a different elasticity from business travelers?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the price elasticity of demand is
i. For business travelers
= {(1900 - 2000) ÷ [(1900 + 2000) ÷2]} ÷ {(250 - 200) ÷ [(200 + 250) ÷ 2]}
= 0.23
ii. For Vacationers
= {(800 - 600) ÷ [(800 + 600) ÷ 2]} ÷ {(250 - 200) ÷ [(200 + 250) ÷ 2]}
= 1.29
b. Since the price would increase from $200 to $250 so the price elastiicy of business travelers & vactationers is 0.23 and 1.29 respectively. So the demand for for airline tickets would be more elastic for vacationers as the business travelers would be less senstitive for price change
