A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $348,400 and direct labor hours would be 47,000. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $304,000, and actual direct labor hours were 52,400. The journal entry to apply the factory overhead costs for the year would include a

Answers

Answer:

Journal Entry

Debit Work-in-Process $388,284

Credit Manufacturing Overhead $388,284

To record the application of factory overhead costs for the year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated factory overhead costs = $348,400

Estimated direct labor hours = 47,000

Predetermined overhead rate = $7.41 ($348,400/47,000)

Actual overhead costs = $304,000

Actual direct labor hours = 52,400

Applied overhead costs = $388,284 (52,400 * $7.41)

b) The overhead applied to the production for the year will be the actual direct labor hours by the predetermined overhead rate.  This yields a cost that is greater than the actual overhead costs, which means that the manufacturing overhead was overapplied.  The cause of this situation is the number of actual direct labor hours worked vis-a-vis the actual overhead costs and the predetermined rate.

Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.

Answers

Answer:

The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.

Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.

The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 2 decimal places, for example 33.33%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar): $2,213,640. $939,240. $216,870. $757,800. $447,120.

Answers

Answer:

$2,213,640

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method

First step is to calculate the total amount

DBB-1= 16,000 units *$25

DBB-1= 400,000

DBB-2= 24,000 units *$35

DBB-2= 840,000

DBB-2= 36,000 units *$55

DBB-2= 1,980,000

Total =3,220,000

(400,000+840,000+1,980,000)

Second step is to calculate the Weight for DBB-3

Weight for DBB-3= 1,980,000 / 3,220,000 Weight for DBB-3=61.49%

Now let calculate the Joint cost for DBB-3

Joint cost for DBB-3=$36,00,000*61.49%

Joint cost for DBB-3=$2,213,640

Therefore The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is $2,213,640

What is this stock's expected total rate of return (assume market is in equilibrium with the required rate of return equal to the expected return)

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $19.20

D1 = $1.11

D2 = $1.1833

D3 = $1.2614

P3 = $23.26

a. Dividend growth rate = (1.2614-1.1833)/1.1833 = 0.0781/1.1833 = 0.06600186 = 6.60%

b. Expected Dividend Yield=(Expected Dividend/Price)*100 = $1.11/$19.20 = 0.0578125 = 5.78%

c. Total Rate of Return = 6.60% + 5.78% = 12.38%

Answers

Answer:

C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

D)There is a lack of standardization.

E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.

Explanation:

barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.

It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;

✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

✓There is a lack of standardization.

✓There is difficulty in accumulating

1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)

Answers

Explanation:

Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.

A firm produces truffles by using labor and capital. The price of labor is $10 per unit, and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At current output level, the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the marginal product of capital is 60 truffles. To reduce the total cost of producing the current quantity of truffles, how should the firm change its spending on labor and capital

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.

This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.

Suppose that Harry drinks one cup of coffee with his preferred three packs of creamer every day for seven days. What is his utility for that week

Answers

Answer:

21

Explanation:

The computation of the utility for that week is as follows:

Given that

There are three packs

Also it is for seven days

u(x,y) = min(3x,y)

C = 1

x = 1

y = 3

So,

u = min(3,3)

= 3

For 7 days it would be

= 7 × 3

= 21

The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 5,500 to 5,501 units is closest to $10.65.

Here, the fixed cost would not be relevant for the computation.

Incremental manufacturing cost when production level changed is

= Direct material cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit

= $6.25 + $3.20 + $1.20

= $10.65

In conclusion, the incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 5,500 to 5,501 units is closest to $10.65.

The IRS requires that any loans must charge a minimum interest rate, and in this case, since Joshua is not charging any interest to his son, the IRS will consider the minimum interest rate as a gift and will tax it that way. Since Joshua can make gifts for $15,000 per year, if the threshold is already passed, the IRS will consider $100,000 x 4% = $4,000 as taxable gifts.

How would your answer change if Seth uses the money to invest in corporate bonds paying 8 percent annual interest?

The answer shouldn't change since Joshua is the one that can be taxed here. Seth cannot deduct any interest expense or gift tax expense either.

When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the ________ component of GDP while also ____________ net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes_________ in US GDP.

Answers

Answer:

a, c , d

investment

decreasing

no effect

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

6. Externalities

Investment spending by businesses includes purchases made by businesses. So, investment spending increases. Net export decreases because import is a negative function of GDP. The increase and decrease cancel each other out and there would be no change in GDP

Answers

Answer:

Amber

Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000

No additional shares issued, so net income = $350,000

Blue

Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000

No additional shares issued, but dividends paid for $60,000, so net income = $410,000

Coral

Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000

Additional shares issued for $140,000, so net income = $210,000

Daffodil

Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000

Additional shares issued for $140,000, dividends paid for $60,000, so net income = $270,000

Cr Patent asset $10,650

Explanation:

Preparation of all adjusting entries at December 31 to record amortization required by the events

Based on the information given the adjusting entries at December 31 to record amortization required by the events will be :

Dr Amortization expense $24,550

Cr Copyright asset $24,550

Dr Amortization $10,650

Cr Patent asset $10,650

Calculation for Annual amortization of copyrights

Annual amortization of copyrights = Cost of copyright/Useful life

Annual amortization of copyrights= $122,750/5

Annual amortization of copyrights= $24,550

Calculation for Annual amortization of patent

Annual amortization of patent = Cost of patents/Useful life

Annual amortization of patent= $51,120/4

Annual amortization of patent= $12780

Amortization of patent for 2017 = $12780 x 10/12

= $10,650

Uncle Fred recently died and left $280,000 to his 45-year-old favorite niece. She immediately spent $80,000 on a town home but decided to invest the balance for her retirement at age 65. What rate of return must she earn on her investment over the next 20 years to permit her to withdraw $75,000 at the end of each year through age 80 if her funds earn 10 percent annually during retirement

Answers

Answer:

6.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 20 years

PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000

PMT = $0

FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years

= $75,000 × 8.6487

= $648,652.50

The following formula should be applied

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%

Sheffield Corp. applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 90% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 250, the only job still in process at the end of August, has been charged with manufacturing overhead of $11700. What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000

Answers

Answer:

$20,300

Explanation:

Calculation for What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000

Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - ($11,700 / .90) - $11,700

Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - $13,000- $11,700

Direct materials charged to Job 250= $20,300

Therefore the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000 will be $20,300
