Answer:
the total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is $172,800
Explanation:
The computation of the total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is shown below:
= Advertising + Executive salaries + Depreciation on office equipment + Other
= $50,700 + $60,700 + $20,700 + $40,700
= $172,800
hence, the total budgeted fixed selling and administrative expenses for February is $172,800
Eagle Company used the following data to evaluate its current operating system. - sells items for $24 each - used a budgeted selling price of $24 per unit. Actual Budgeted Units sold 177,000 units 184,000 units Variable costs $1,090,000 $1,290,000 Fixed costs $804,000 $780,000 What is the static-budget variance of operating income
Answer:
$100,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Sales = Selling price per unit × unit sold
Actual sales = $24 × 177,000 units = $4,248,000
Budgeted sales = $24 × 184,000 units = $4,416,000
Operating income = Actual sales - Variable income - Fixed income
Actual operating income = $4,248,000 - $1,090,000 - $804,000 = $2,354,000
Budgeted operating income = $4,416,000 - $1,290,000 - $780,000 = $2,364,000
Therefore,
Static budget variance of operating income = Actual operating income - Budgeted operating income
= $2,354,000 - $2,364,000
= $100,000 unfavorable

The Neal Company wants to estimate next year's return on equity (ROE) under different financial leverage ratios. Neal's total capital is $20 million, it currently uses only common equity, it has no future plans to use preferred stock in its capital structure, and its federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%. The CFO has estimated next year's EBIT for three possible states of the world: $5.5 million with a 0.2 probability, $2.6 million with a 0.5 probability, and $600,000 with a 0.3 probability.
Required:
Calculate Neal's expected ROE, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.
Answer:
Neal's expected ROE = 4.62%
Neal's standard deviation = 2.46%
Neal's coefficient of variation = 0.53
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Neal's Expected ROE and Deviation.
From the attached excel, we can have:
Neal's expected ROE = Total expected ROE = 0.0462, or 4.62%
Neal's standard deviation = (Total Deviation)^0.5 = 0.00060736^0.5 = 0.0246, or 2.46%
Neal's coefficient of variation = Neal's standard deviation / Neal's expected ROE = 2.46% / 4.62% = 0.53

Exercise 9-11 Working Backwards from Labor Variances [LO9-5] The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below: Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost Motor tune-up 2.50 $34.00 $85.00 The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 54 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups: Labor rate variance $ 350 F Labor spending variance $ 500 U Required: 1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week. 2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The number of actual hours spent on tune-ups is
as we know that
Total Labor Variance = Labor Rate Variance + Labor Efficiency Variance
$500U = $350F + Labor Efficiency Variance
$500 = -$350 + Labor Efficiency Variance
Labor Efficiency Variance = $850
Now
Efficiency Variance = Standard Rate × (Actual Hours - Standard Hours )
$850 = 34 × (Actual hours - 2.5 × 54)
$850 = 34Actual Hours - $4,590
$5,440 = 34 actual hours
Actual Hour = 160 Hours
b. The actual hourly rate is
Labor Rate Variance = Actual hours × (Actual rate - Standard rate)
-350 = 160 × (Actual rate - $34)
-350 = 169 Actual rate - $5,440
$5,090 = 169 Actual rate
Actual rate = $30.12

The economy has grown by 4% annually over the past 30 years. During the same period, human capital has grown 1% per year and physical capital has grown 5% per year. Each 1% increase in physical capital per worker is estimated to increase labor productivity by 0.4%. Assuming a Cobb-Douglas production function, how much has annual total factor productivity growth contributed to national output growth (expressed as a percentage of national output growth)
Answer:
53.3 %
Explanation:
Given that
Each 1% increase in physical capital per worker = 0.4% increase in labor productivity
quantity of physical capital grows by 5% per year
labor force grows by 1% per year
therefore the physical capital per labor grows by ; 5% - 1% = 4%
Annual Total factor of productivity = 0.4% * 4% = 1.6%
since output grows by 4% and labor force grows by 1% average labor productivity will grow by ; 3%
Hence annual total factor productivity growth expresses as a percentage of national output growth
= 1.6 / 3 = 53.3%

If expenses are incurred, Debit the expense and credit Cash if cash was paid or Credit Accounts Payable if there was no immediate cash payment.
Ensure all manufacturing costs incurred are accumulated in the appropriate Work in Process Account.
Remember to record the corresponding cost of sales journal following the sale of completed units.
For step 2
If Actual overheads > Applied overheads, we have overheads under-applied,
and if Applied overheads > Actual overheads, we have over-applied overheads
Hence determine amounts of Actual and Applied overheads first :
Actual overheads calculation :
Indirect materials $300
Indirect labor $400
Other overheads $1,300
Total $2,000
Applied overheads :
Applied overheads = $2,160
therefore,
Over-applied overheads = $2,160 - $2,000 = $160
The cost of sales is reduced by the amount of over-applied overheads

Which formula can you use to extract the month number from the date entered in cell F5 as July 8, 2016?
Answer: =MONTH(F5)
Explanation:
The MONTH function in Excel returns the month, a number from 1 (January) to 12 (December).
It’s syntax is;
“=MONTH(serial_number)”
Where serial number refers to the date in question, which could either be a date itself or a cell reference.
The MONTH function is used to extract the month number from a date.
If cell F5 contains “July 8, 2016”, the formula “=MONTH(F5)” inputed in another cell will give the value “7”.
This is because the month July is the 7th month of the year.

Helen has a meeting with a venture capitalist for a Series A round at a $10 million valuation. She has proprietary patents for the latest advancements in facial recognition, a team of five Stanford grads, and seed money from Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures. She has two enterprise customers. The VC has her interest piqued but declines to invest at this stage. Why? Group of answer choices Helen needs to further build out her team Helen should be raising a Series B, not A Helen needs better venture capitalists funding her project Helen needs more customers
Answer: Helen needs more customers
Explanation:
Even though the VC has her interest piqued but declines to invest at this stage, the reason is because of the fact that she has two enterprise customers.
The venture capitalist will not invest when there isn't enough customers as the VC may think that it's not worth investing in and doesn't want to make a loss. Therefore, Helen needs more customers.
After reading the paragraph below, answer the question that follows. Americans spend up to $100 billion annually for bottled water (41 billion gallons). The only beverages with higher sales are carbonated soft drinks. Recent news stories have highlighted the fact that most bottled water comes from municipal water supplies (the same source as your tap water), although it may undergo an extra purification step called reverse osmosis. Imagine two tanks that are separated by a membrane that's permeable to water, but not to the dissolved minerals present in the water. Tank A contains tap water and tank B contains the purified water. Under normal conditions, the purified water would cross the membrane to dilute the more concentrated tap water solution. In the reverse osmosis process, pressure is applied to the tap water tank to force the water molecules across the membrane into the pure water tank. If you shut off the system and pressure was no longer applied to tank A, you would expect

Ms. Ortega believes that the salesperson will spend approximately 20 hours selling EZRecords and 10 hours marketing ProOffice.
1) Determine the estimated total cost and cost per unit of each product, assuming that the salesperson is able to sell 80 units of EZRecords and 50 units of ProOffice. (Round "Cost per unit" to 2 decimal places.)
2) Determine the estimated total cost and cost per unit of each product, assuming that the salesperson is able to sell 200 units of EZRecords and 100 units of ProOffice.
(c) Explain why the cost per unit figures calculated in Requirement a are different from the amounts calculated in Requirement b. Also explain how the differences in estimated cost per unit will affect pricing decisions.

Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States?
a. The costs Of air and water pollution
b. The quality of goods available to
c. Expenditures on federal highways
d. The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the isn't reported to the government.
Answer:
a
b
d
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Expenditure on the highways would be recorded as part of government expenditure
Sunland Company issues $5,000,000, 10-year, 10% bonds at 96, with interest payable annually on January 1. The straight-line method is used to amortize bond discount. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of these bonds on January 1, 2020. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the sale of the bond as on Jan 1, 2020 is given below:
Cash $4,800,000 ($5,000,000 × 0.96)
Discount on Bonds payable $200,000

Here the cash and discount on bond payable is debited as it increased the assets and decreased the liability and the bond payable is credited as it increase the liability
An increase in supply: (2)
(a) Indicates that more is supplied at higher prices.
(b) Indicates that more is supplied at lower prices.
(c) Indicates that more is supplied at all prices.
(d) The demand curve will become more inelastic.
Answer:
A). Indicates that more is supplied at higher prices.
Explanation:
As per the law of supply, an increase in supply would signify that 'the firms are willing to sell more goods at a higher price' because they can make more profit now as compared to the supply at a lower price. The supply and price of a normal good have a positive association and therefore, an increase in price stimulates the supply as well. However, there are certain other factors responsible for the increase in supply like a fall in costs of production, an increase in the number of producers in the market, etc yet among the given options, the first one asserts a true claim. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
"Ayres Services acquired an asset for $80 million in 2021. The asset is depreciated for financial reporting purposes over four years on a straight-line basis (no residual value). For tax purposes the asset’s cost is depreciated by MACRS. The enacted tax rate is 25%. Amounts for pretax accounting income, depreciation, and taxable income in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 are as follows: ($ in millions) 2021 2022 2023 2024 Pretax accounting income $ 330 $ 350 $ 365 $ 400 Depreciation on the income statement 20 20 20 20 Depreciation on the tax return (25 ) (33 ) (15 ) (7 ) Taxable income $ 325 $ 337 $ 370 $ 413 Required: For December 31 of each year, determine (a) the cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset and (b) the balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account. (Leave no cell blank, enter "0" wherever applicable. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).)"
a. The cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset are as follows:
December 31, 2021 = $60 million
December 31, 2022 = $40 million
December 31, 2023 = $20 million
December 31, 2024 = $0
b. The balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account are as follows.
December 31, 2021 = $15 million
December 31, 2022 = $10 million
December 31, 2023 = $5 million
December 31, 2024 = $0
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset and the balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account for December 31 of years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 in bold red color.
In the attached excel file, the following formula are used:
Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the previous year + (Depreciation on the tax return at December 31 of the current year - Depreciation on the income statement at December 31 of the current year)
Balance to be reported in deferred tax liability account at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year * Tax rate
The following data pertain to an investment proposal (Ignore income taxes.): Cost of the investment $ 56,000 Annual cost savings $ 16,000 Estimated salvage value $ 6,000 Life of the project 5 years Discount rate 10 % Click here to view Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. The net present value of the proposed investment is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Multiple Choice $34,000 $4,656 $3,726 $8,382
Answer: $8,382
Explanation:
First find the present value of the cash benefits which are the cost savings and the salvage value:
= (Cost savings * Present value interest factor of annuity, 5 years, 10%) + Salvage value / ( 1 + rate) ^ no of periods
= (16,000 * 3.7908) + 6,000 / ( 1 + 10%)⁵
= $64,378
Net Present value = Present value of benefits - Cost of investment
= 64,378 - 56,000
= $8,378
= $8,382 from options. Difference due to rounding errors.

Hazel Company allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. It allocates overhead costs of $16,200 to two different jobs as follows:
Job 1: (12 hours) = $8,100; Job 2: (12 hours) = $8,100
The production process for Job 2 was then automated. Now Job 2 requires only 3 hours of direct labor but 5 hours of mechanical processing. As a result, total overhead increases to $21,000. Select the incorrect statement from the following.
A. While the actual processing of Job 1 was not affected by automation, it received an increase of $9,900 in its overhead allocation.
B. The use of machine hours as the allocation base would significantly improve the overhead cost allocations.
C. The increased overhead costs associated with automation should be allocated to both jobs.
D. Automation and the costing system used by the company cause the cost of Job 1 to be significantly overstated.
Answer:
Hazel Company
The incorrect statement is:
A. While the actual processing of Job 1 was not affected by automation, it received an increase of $9,900 in its overhead allocation.
Explanation:
Option A is the correct answer because Job 1's overhead cannot increase by $9,900. Therefore, this purported increase cannot be verified as correct. Most likely the overhead allocation of Job 1 will decrease since Job 2 has another basis for allocating overhead to it, which Job 1 does not incur. Overhead allocation using ABC system is more efficient than the traditional method of using a predetermined rate because overhead is now allocated based on consumption rather than using some arbitrary basis.
Catano Corporation pays for 40% of its raw materials purchases in the month of purchase and 60% in the following month. If the budgeted cost of raw materials purchases in July is $256,550 and in August is $278,050, then in August the total budgeted cash disbursements for raw materials purchases is closest to:
Answer:
Total cash disbursement= $271,150
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct material purchase:
July= $256,550
August= $278,050
Catano Corporation pays for 40% of its raw materials purchases in the month of purchase and 60% in the following month.
To calculate the cash disbursements for August, we need to use the following structure:
Cash disbursement August:
Purchase in cash from August= 278,050*0.4= 111,220
Purchase in account from July= 256,550*0.6= 159,930
Total cash disbursement= $271,150
