Answer:
Weighted average unit cost = $8.78
Explanation:
The weighted average method of inventory determines the average cost per unit of inventory each time a new batch is received. or every new batch received the average cost per unit is re-computed by dividing the total value of stock by the outstanding number of units.
The explanation is completed using calculation below:
Total value of stock = (250× $5) + (500×$9) + (375 × 11) = $9,875
Total units of stock = 250 + 500 + 375 = 1,125 units
Weighted average unit cost = Total value of stock / total units of stock
= $9875 / 1125 units = $8.78
Weighted average unit cost = $8.78

Product X used the following quantity of activity drivers to produce 100 units of final product: 25 setups, 40 material moves and 75 machine hours What is the total indirect manufacturing cost per unit for product X based on an ABC system? g
Answer:
$137.50 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the total indirect manufacturing cost per unit is shown below:
Machine setups 15000 ÷ 100 × 25 = $3750
Material moves 22500 ÷ 225 × 40 = $4000
M/c. Operations 14000 ÷ 175 × 75 = $6000
Total Cost for 100 units $13,750
And since there is 100 units
So, the total indirect manufcturing cost per unit is
= $13,750 ÷100 units
= $137.50
Hernandez, Inc. signed a ten-year noncancelable lease for a heavy duty drill press. The lease stipulated annual payments of $300,000 starting at the beginning of the first year, with title passing to Hernandez at the expiration of the lease. Hernandez treated this transaction as a operating lease. The drill press has an estimated useful life of 15 years, with no salvage value. Hernandez uses straight-line amortization for all of its plant assets. Aggregate lease payments were determined to have a present value of $1,800,000, based on implicit interest of 10%. What amount of amortization expense should be recorded for 2021?
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is to be based on the cost of the asset being depreciated. In this scenario, the cost of the heavy duty drill press will be the Present Value of all the lease payments for the entire 10 years because it is said that the title will pass to Hernandez Inc. afterwards so the lease payments can be considered as payment.
Straight Line Amortisation = [tex]\frac{Cost of Asset - Salvage Value}{Estimated Useful Life}[/tex]
Straight Line Amortisation = [tex]\frac{1,800,000 - 0}{15}[/tex]
Straight Line Amortisation = $120,000 per year

Mountain High Ice Cream Company transferred $65,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made with recourse. Prudential remits 90% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 10% to cover sales returns and allowances. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $5,500). Mountain High anticipates a $3,500 recourse obligation. The bank charges a 3% fee (3% of $65,000), and requires that amount to be paid at the start of the factoring arrangement.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Mountain High assuming that the sale criteria are met.
Answer:
Dr Cash 56,550
Dr Receivable from factor 5,500
Dr Loss on sale of receivables 6,450
Cr Accounts receivables 65,000
Cr Recourse liability 3,500
Explanation:
cash = ($65,000 x 90%) - factoring fees = $58,500 - $1,950 = $56,550
factoring fees = $65,000 x 3% = $1,950
loss on sale of receivables (includes factoring fees) = (accounts receivables + recourse liability) - (cash + receivable from factor) = ($65,000 + $3,500) - ($56,550 + $5,500) = $68,500 - $62,050 = $6,450

Harmony Company sells handminusknit scarves. Each scarf sells for $ 45. The company pays $ 70 to rent vending space for one day. The variable costs are $ 12 per scarf. How many scarves should the company sell each day in order to break even? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole scarf.)
Answer:
2.12, rounded up to 3
Explanation:
To solve the equation, we first need to set up an equation.
Let x represent the number of scarves. We want one side of the equation to be the amount earned and the other to be the cost
45x is how much they earn since each scarf is $45
70+12x is how much they cost for rent and production
45x=70+12x
Subtract 12x from both sides
33x=70
Divide both sides by 33
x=2.12
It says we should round up so 3 scarves to break even

1. Peter applied for a job at an accounting firm and a consulting firm. He knows that 50% of similarly qualified applicants receive job offers from the accounting firm; only 40% of similarly qualified applicants receive job offers from the consulting firm Peter also knows that 60% of similarly qualified applicants receive an offer from one firm or the other. Hints: A
Answer:
75%
Explanation:
Assume that:
X is the probability that the Peter, qualified accountant would receive offer from the accounting firm AND
Y is the probability that the Peter, qualified accountant would receive offer from the consulting firm.
Here,
P(X) is 50%, P(Y) is 40% and P(X∪Y) is 60%
Now we want to find P(X/Y) = ?
We also know that:
P(X/Y) = P(X∩Y) STEP1 / P(Y)
By putting values, we have:
P(X/Y) = 0.3 / 0.4 = 0.75 = 75%
Step 1: Find P(X∩Y)
P(X∪Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∩Y)
This implies that:
P(X∩Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∪Y)
By putting values we have:
P(X∩Y) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.6 = 0.3
The manager of a large commercial building became preoccupied with paperwork and did not inspect the premises as he should have, which resulted in lots of wear and tear from the tenants. The loss of value due to postponing repairs is called
Answer:
deferred repairs
Explanation:
In this scenario, the term being mentioned is known as deferred repairs. As mentioned in the question this term refers to the practice of postponing any and all maintenance activities, such as repairs on real property or personal property all with the hopes of saving costs, meeting budget funding levels, or realign available budget monies. This can also occur by accident due to neglect, such as in this specific scenario. Deferring repairs ultimately leads to higher costs due to worsening conditions.
Nidal Company reported inventory in the 2020 year-end balance sheet, using the FIFO method, as $185,000. In 2021, the company decided to change its inventory method to average cost. If the company had used the average cost method in 2020, ending inventory would have been $171,000. What adjustment would Nidal make for this change in inventory method
Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $14,000
Cr Inventory $14,000
Explanation:
There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,
Adjusted inventory
= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000
= $14,000 decrease
It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.
Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.
Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.
Answer:
Dr Retained earnings for $14,000
Cr Inventory for $14,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the adjustment that Nidal would make for this change in inventory method
Based of the information given the adjustment will records the decrease in inventory of $14,000 which is calculated as ( Inventory of $185,000 − Ending inventory of $171,000) as well as the decrease in retained earnings, just as if average cost had been used in 2020.]
Therefore the adjustment that Nidal would make for this change in inventory method will be:
Dr Retained earnings for $14,000
Cr Inventory for $14,000.
The following data concerns a proposed equipment purchase: Cost $ 144,000 Salvage value $ 4,000 Estimated useful life 4 years Annual net cash flows $ 46,100 Depreciation method Straight-line Assuming that net cash flows are received evenly throughout the year, the accounting rate of return is (ignore income taxes):
Answer:Accounting rate of return = 15%
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return =Net income(Net cash flow - depreciation expense) / Average investment x 100
but depreciation = Cost of equipment - salvage value/ useful life
=(144,000 - 4000)/ 4= 140,000/ 4= $35,000
also,
Average Investment = Cost of equipment +salvage value /2
=( 144,000+4000)/ 2= 148,000 /2 = $74,000
Accounting rate of return =Net income(Net cash flow - depreciation expense) / Average investment x 100
(46,100 - 35,000)/ 74,000} x 100 =11,100/74,000=0.15 x 100= 15%

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

Reno contributed $104,000 in cash plus equipment valued at $27,000 to the RD Partnership. The journal entry to record the transaction for the partnership is:
Answer:
Debit cash $104,000; debit equipment $27,000; credit Reno, Capital $131,000.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Reno contributed $104,000 in cash plus equipment valued at $27,000 to the RD Partnership. The journal entry to record the transaction for the partnership is debit cash $104,000; debit equipment $27,000; credit Reno, capital $131,000.
In Financial accounting, debit refers to an entry made which would either increase an expense or asset account; therefore, decreasing an equity or liability account. Credit refers to an entry made which would either increase an equity or liability account; therefore, decreasing an expense or asset account.
Generally, debit is an accounting entry which is made to the left of an account while credit is an accounting entry which is made to the right of an account. The standard rule is that, when a credit decreases an account, the opposite account should be increased with a debit.
Hence, in this case the RD Partnership will debit the cash received, $104,000 plus equipment valued at $27,000. Also, the opposite account or receivable account (Reno, capital) would be credited with $131,000 ($104,000+$27,000 = $131,000).
UA Hamburger Hamlet (UAHH) places a daily order for its high-volume items (hamburger patties, buns, milk, and so on). UAHH counts its current inventory on hand once per day and phones in its order for delivery 24 hours later. Determine the number of hamburgers UAHH should order for the following conditions:
Average daily demand 600
Standard deviation of demand 100
Desired service probability 99%
Hamburger inventory 800
Answer:
730 items
Explanation:
The objective of the given information is to determine the number of hamburgers UAHH should order for the following conditions:
Average daily demand 600
Standard deviation of demand 100
Desired service probability 99%
Hamburger inventory 800
The formula for a given order quantity in a fixed period of time can be expressed as :
[tex]q = \overline d(L+T)+ z \sigma_{L+T}-I[/tex]
where;
[tex]q[/tex] = order quantity = ???
[tex]\overline d[/tex] = daily demand average = 600
L = lead time in days = 1
T = time taken = 1
z = no of standard deviation = ???
[tex]\sigma_{L+T}[/tex] = standard deviation of usage in lead time and time taken = ???
I = present inventory level = 800
[tex]\sigma_{L+T}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt 2[/tex] × standard deviation of daily demand
[tex]\sigma_{L+T}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{2} *100[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{L+T}[/tex] = 1.4142 * 100
[tex]\sigma_{L+T}[/tex] = 141.42 items
From the Desired service probability 99% = 0.99; we can deduce the no of standard deviation by using the excel function (=NORMSINV (0.99))
z = 2.33
From [tex]q = \overline d(L+T)+ z \sigma_{L+T}-I[/tex]
[tex]q =600(1+1)+ 2.33*(141.42)-800[/tex]
[tex]q =600(2)+ 2.33*(141.42)-800[/tex]
[tex]q =1200+329.5086-800[/tex]
q = 729.5086 items
q ≅ 730 items
Therefore; the number of hamburgers UAHH should order from the following given conditions = 730 items

Northern Communications has the following stockholders' equity on December 31, 2018:
Stockholders' Equity
Paid-In Capital:
Preferred Stock—5%, $11 Par Value; 150,000
shares authorized, 20,000
shares issued and outstanding $220,000
Common Stock—$2 Par Value; 575,000 s
hares authorized, 380,000
shares issued and outstanding 760,000

Total Paid-In Capital 1,660,000
Retained Earnings 200,000
Total Stockholders' Equit $1,860,000
Requirement 1. Assuming the preferred stock is cumulative, compute the amount of dividends to preferred stockholders and to common stockholders for 2018 and 2019 if total dividends are $9,000 in 2018 and $45,000 in 2019. Assume no changes in preferred stock and common stock in 2019.
2. Record journal entries for 2018 assuming Northern communication declared dividend on Dec 31.
Answer:
2018
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = $9,000
Common Stock Dividend = $0
2019
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = $13,000
Common Stock Dividend = $32,000
Journal Entry
Dec 31
Dividend : Preference Stock $11,000 (debit)
Cash $9,000 (credit)
Shareholders for dividends $2,000 (credit)
Explanation:
Preference Stockholders have preference over Common Stockholders when it comes to payments of dividends.
That means preference dividends are paid first then the remainder belongs to the Common Stockholders.
If Preference Stocks are cumulative, dividends in arrears not paid in previous years are carried over to the next year and these have to be paid up before any distributions for that year are made.
Calculation of Stock Dividend
Stock Dividend gives a fixed dividend to Preference Stockholders every year.
Stock Dividend = ( $220,000 × 5%) = $11,000
2018
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = $9,000
Preferred Stock Dividend in Arrears = $2,000
Common Stock Dividend = $0
2019
Preferred Stock Dividend Paid = ($2,000 - In-arrears + $11,000 - Current Year) = $13,000
Preferred Stock Dividend in Arrears = $0
Common Stock Dividend = ($45,000 - $13,000) = $32,000
Heavy Products, Inc. developed standard costs for direct material and direct labor. In 2017, AII estimated the following standard costs for one of their major products, the 10−gallon plastic container. Budgeted quantity Budgeted price Direct materials 0.7 pounds $90 per pound Direct labor 0.05 hours $20 per hour During June, Heavy Products produced and sold 24,000 containers using 1,500 pounds of direct materials at an average cost per pound of $92 and 1,200 direct manufacturing labor−hours at an average wage of $91.25 per hour. The direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance during June is ________.
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= 0
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Direct labor 0.05 hours $20 per hour
Actual:
Heavy Products produced and sold 24,000 containers using 1,200 direct manufacturing labor−hours.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (0.05*24,000 - 1,200)*20

The risk-free rate is 4.5 percent and the market expected return is 10.8 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that has a beta of 1.30
Answer:
Expected return = 12.69%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock.. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM,
E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
E(r)- expected return, Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:
β-1.30, Rf- 4.5%, Rm = 10.8%
E(r) = 4.5% + 1.30 × (10.8 - 4.5)%= 12.69
Expected return = 12.69%

Suppose a Roasted Olive restaurant is considering whether to (1) bake bread for its restaurant in-house or (2) buy the bread from a local bakery. The chef estimates that variable costs of making each loaf include $.52 of ingredients, $.24 of variable overhead (electricity to run the oven), and $.70 of direct labor for kneading and forming the loaves. Allocating fixed overhead (depreciation on the kitchen equipment and building) based on direct labor assigns $.96 of fixed overhead per loaf. None of the fixed costs are avoidable. The local bakery would charge $1.75 per loaf.
a. What is the unit cost of making the bread in-house (use absorption costing)?
b. Should Roasted Olive bake the bread in-house or buy from the local bakery? Why?
Answer:
Roasted Olive should bake the bread in-house.
Because, It is cheaper to bake the bread in-house than to purchase as this saves $0.29 per loaf of bread.
Explanation:
Cost of Making
Unit Cost (Absorption Costing) = All Manufacturing Cost (Fixed and Variable)
= $0.52 + $0.24 + $0.70 + $0.96
= $2.42
Cost of Buying from Local Bakery
Note that the fixed costs are note avoidable, meaning that they would be incurred whether or not the bread is made internally or purchased from local Bakery
Cost of Purchase Option per unit :
Purchase Price $1.75
Add Fixed Overhead per loaf $0.96
Total unit cost $2.71
Conclusion :
It is cheaper to bake the bread in-house than to purchase as this saves ( $2.71 - $2.42) $0.29 per loaf of bread.
Therefore, Roasted Olive should bake the bread in-house.
Factory Overhead Rates, Entries, and Account Balance Eclipse Solar Company operates two factories. The company applies factory overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours in Factory 1 and on the basis of direct labor hours in Factory 2. Estimated factory overhead costs, direct labor hours, and machine hours are as follows: Factory 1 Factory 2 Estimated factory overhead cost for fiscal year beginning August 1 $18,500,000 $44,000,000 Estimated direct labor hours for year 800,000 Estimated machine hours for year 1,250,000 Actual factory overhead costs for August $1,515,800 $3,606,300 Actual direct labor hours for August 64,500 Actual machine hours for August 105,000 a. Determine the factory overhead rate for Factory 1. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Factory 1
Estimated factory overhead= $18,500,000
Estimated machine hours for year 1,250,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 18,500,000/1,250,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour
Consider the economies of Hermes and Gobbledigook, both of which produce gobs of goo using only tools and workers. Suppose that, during the course of 20 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 4 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same. Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2016 and 2036.
Year Hermes
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000
2036 15 30 3,600
Year Gobbledigook
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400
2036 12 30 3,600
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a_______ amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect_______which makes it______for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.
Answer:
Hermes
Productivity (Gobs per worker)
2016 100
2036 120
Gobbledigook
Productivity
(Gobs per worker)
2016 80
2036 120
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect OF CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.
Explanation:
Hermes
Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000 3,000/30=100
2036 15 30 3,600 3,600/30=120
Gobbledigook
Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400 2,400/30=80
2036 12 30 3,600 3,600/30=120
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect of CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

Analyze Cityscape Hotels Cityscape Hotels has 200 rooms available in a major metropolitan city. The hotel is able to attract business customers during the weekdays and leisure customers during the weekend. However, the leisure customers on weekends occupy fewer rooms than do business customers on weekdays. Thus, Cityscape plans to provide special weekend pricing to attract additional leisure customers. A hotel room is priced at $180 per room night. The cost of a hotel room night includes the following: Cost Per Room Night (at normal occupancy) Housekeeping service $23 Utilities 7 Amenities 3 Hotel depreciation 55 Hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) 42 Total $130 The special weekend price is proposed for $120 per room night. At this price, it is anticipated that average occupancy for the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) will increase from 30% to 50% of available rooms. a. What is the contribution margin for a room night under the normal pricing if only the hotel depreciation and hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) are assumed fixed for all occupancy levels
Answer:
$147
Explanation:
For the computation of contribution margin for a room night first we need to find out the variable cost per night which is shown below:-
Variable cost per room night = Housekeeping service + Utilities + Amenities
= $23 + $7 + $3
= $33 per room night
Contribution per room night under normal pricing = Normal price per room night - Variable cost per room night
= $180 - $33
= $147 per room night
Therefore for computing the contribution margin for a room night we simply applied the above formula.
