The cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was:
= $825,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning work in process inventory = 80,000 units
Degree of completion = 100% materials and 25% conversion
Cost of beginning work in process = $226,000
Units transferred out = 150,000
Materials Conversion Total
Costs per equivalent unit $2 $3.50
Cost of units transferred out $300,000 $525,000 $825,000
= (150,000 * $2) (150,000 * $3.50)
The first three cars I bought all fell apart around 50,000 miles. It was called planned obsolescence and no one seemed to care until companies entered the market and promised 70,000, then 80,000, and finally 100,000 warranties. What sets a great car apart from a good one now is not the quality, which is assumed, but performance, safety and fuel economy. A car that can achieve all three is highly sought after. In the automotive market, performance, safety and fuel economy are sterling examples of:
Answer:
Order Winners
Explanation:
Order winners basically mean the winning attributes that customers will seek in order to successfully buy a product.
This is in fact because a customer's decision in buying a product is based on the value for money, so things such as price, availability, performance, and design are things to be considered by customers before deciding on the product.
As in the case above, the winning attributes in making a car great are performance, safety, and fuel economy. If such is found in a car then it would lead the car to be highly sought by the customers.

Carpet Renewal dyes carpets for residential customers. The company is interested in estimating fixed and variable costs. The following data are available for the month of June when 420 carpets were dyed:
Office rent $ 1,250
Depreciation - equipment 900
Cleaning supplies 5,140
Hourly wages 11,000
Transportation (variable) 3,600
Owner’s salary 3,100
Total $24,990
Using account analysis, how much is estimated variable cost per carpet?
a. $59.50
b. $52.12
c. $47.00
d. $38.43
Answer: c. $47 per carpet
Explanation:
Total variable costs are:
= Cleaning supplies + Hourly wages + Transportation
= 5,140 + 11,000 + 3,600
= $19,740
The variable cost per carpet is:
= Total variable cost / Number of carpets dyed
= 19,740 / 420
= $47 per carpet
g If there is a breach of contract, the objective of the remedy in the breach contract case will be to: Question 21 options: place the parties back into the position that they would have been in had there been no contract punish the party that committed breach of contract provide both parties relief place the non breaching party into the position that they would have been had the contract not been breached
Answer: place the non breaching party into the position that they would have been had the contract not been breached
Explanation:
A contract is meant to satisfy the reasons for which the contract was gone into for both parties. If one party breaches the contract, the party that did not breach should still have their reason for entering the contract satisfied because they did what they were supposed to do according to the contract.
This is why the purpose of a breach of contract remedy is to ensure that this non-breaching party does indeed get what was supposed to come to them by the contract.
A rods manufacturer makes rods with a length that is supposed to be 11 inches. A quality control technician sampled 40 rods and found that the sample mean length was 11.05 inches and the sample standard deviation was 0.21 inches. The technician claims that the mean rod length is more than 11 inches.
1. What type of hypothesis test should be performed?
2. What is the test statistic?
3. What is the number of degrees of freedom?
4. Does sufficient evidence exist at the α=0.01 significance level to support the technician's claim?
Answer:
H0 : μ = 11
H0 : μ > 11 ;
Test statistic = 1.506
Degree of freedom = 39
There isn't sufficient evidence to conclude that mean length of rod is greater than 11.05 inches
Explanation:
Given :
Mean length, μ = 11
Sample Standard deviation, s = 0.21
Sample mean, xbar = 11.05
Sample size, n = 40
The hypothesis :
H0 : μ = 11
H0 : μ > 11
The test statistic :
This a one sample t test :
Hence, test statistic would be :
T = (xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))
T = (11.05 - 11) ÷ (0.21/√(40))
T = 0.05 / 0.0332039
T = 1.506
The degree of freedom ; df ;
df = n - 1 ; df = 40 - 1 = 39
The Critical value ;
Tcritical(0.01, 39) = 2.426
Decision region :
Reject H0 if Test statistic > TCritical
Since 1.506 < 2.426 ; WE fail to reject H0 and conclude that there isn't sufficient evidence to conclude that mean length of rod is greater than 11.05 inches
At the beginning of the period, the Cutting Department budgeted direct labor of $125,000, direct materials of $151,000 and fixed factory overhead of $11,800 for 8,000 hours of production. The department actually completed 10,600 hours of production. What is the appropriate total budget for the department, assuming it uses flexible budgeting? Round hourly rates to two decimal places. Round interim calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. a.$381,335 b.$377,606 c.$291,635 d.$287,800
Answer:
the appropriate total budget should be $377,500
Explanation:
The computation of the appropriate total budget should be given below:
Direct material ($151,000 ÷ 8,000 × 10,600) $200,075
direct labor ($125,000 ÷ 8,000 × 10,600) $165,625
fixed factory overhead $11,800
Total budget cost 377,500
Hence, the appropriate total budget should be $377,500

Next year, we will be in a boom, bust, or normal state with 25%, 25% and 50% probabilities respectively. Apple will return 15%, -22% and 7% in each state (again respectively).
a) What is the expected return for Apple next year?
b) What is the standard deviation of returns for Apple next year?
Answer:
a. 1.75%b. 14.10%Explanation:
a. Expected return:
This will be a weighted average of the returns in different states.
= (25% * 15%) + (25% * -22%) + (50% * 7%)
= 1.75%
b. Standard deviation:
= √ Variance
= √(25% * (15% - 1.75%)²) + (25% * (-22% - 1.75%)²) + (50% * (7% - 1.75%)²)
= √0.01986875
= 14.10%
The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product: The following data pertain to operations for the last month: What was the variable overhead efficiency/quantity variance for the month? Group of answer choices
Answer:
$17,871 U
Explanation:
Note The missing word have been attached as picture below
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (1,480 hours - 2,775 hours) * $13.80
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 1,295 hours * $13.80
Variable overhead efficiency variance = $17,871 U
Harrison Ford Company has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ5 at a price of $4.00 each. The new customer is geographically separated from the company's other customers, and existing sales would not be affected. Harrison normally produces 75,000 units of IJ5 per year but only plans to produce and sell 60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $12 per unit. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows:
Direct Materials $1.75
Direct Labor 2.50
Variable Overhead 1.50
Fixed Overhead 3.25
Total $9.00
Required:
a. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
b. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Answer:
a. The relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives are as follows:
Relevant costs = $57,500
Relevant benefits = $40,000
b. Operating income will decrease if the order is accepted by $17,500.
Explanation:
a. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
Note that accepting the special order will increase the planned production from 60,000 to 70,00. Since this still lower than normal 75,000 units of production, this implies that Fixed Overhead will not be incurred when the order is accepted. Therefore, the Fixed Overhead is not relevant in this situation.
Therefore, the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives are as follows:
Relevant costs = Units of special order * (Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overhead) = 10,000 * ($1.75 + $2.50 + $1.50) = $57,500
Relevant benefits = Revenue from the special order = Units of special order * Unit price of special order = $10,000 * $4 = $40,000
b. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Amount of decrease in operating income = Relevant costs - Relevant benefits = $57,500 - $40,000 = $17,500
Since the relevant costs will greater than the relevant benefits, it can be observed from the calculation above that operating income will decrease if the order is accepted by $17,500.
On June 30, 2021, Moran Corporation issued $9.0 million of its 8% bonds for $8.1 million. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. The bonds are dated June 30, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
First step
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021 = $9,000,000*8%*6/12
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021= $360,000
Second step
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021 = $8,100,000 * 10% * 6/12
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021= $405,000
Last step
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021 = $405,000 - $360,000
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021=$45,000
Therefore by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202 will be $45,000
The following information relates to last year's operations at the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation: Minimum required rate of return 12% Return on investment (ROI) 15% Sales $ 900,000 Turnover (on operating assets) 3 times What was the Legume Division's net operating income last year
Answer: $45000
Explanation:
Firstly, the operating asset will be calculated which will be:
Operating asset = Sales / Turnover
= 900,000/3
Operating assets = $300,000
Then, the net operating income will be: Return on investment × Operating assets
Net operating income = 300,000 × 15%
= 300,000*0.15
= $45,000
Therefore, Legume Division's net operating income last year is $45000

How is a monopolistically competitive market similar to a perfectly competitive market? A. Producers with market power set their own prices. B. Both have differentiated products with close substitutes. C. There are no restrictions on the entry of new firms. D. Both have homogeneous products with no close substitutes. Which of the following common features do monopolistically competitive markets and monopolies share? A. Barriers restrict new firms from entering. B. Consumers with market power set prices. C. Firms face downward-sloping demand curves. D. Producers with no market power set their own prices.
Answer:
c
c
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company

Ultimo Co. operates three production departments as profit centers. The following information is available for its most recent year. Which department has the greatest departmental contribution to overhead (in dollars) and what is the amount contributed
Answer: Department 3 had the greatest contribution to overhead of $362,000
Explanation:
Contribution to overhead = Sales - Cost of Goods sold - Direct expense
Department 1:
= 1,140,000 - 714,000 - 114,000
= $312,000
Department 2:
= 540,000 - 164,000 - 54,000
= $322,000
Department 3:
= 840,000 - 314,000 - 164,000
= $362,000
Southwestern Bank offers to lend you $50,000 at a nominal rate of 6.9%, compounded monthly. The loan (principal plus interest) must be repaid at the end of the year. Woodburn Bank also offers to lend you the $50,000, but it will charge an annual rate of 9.0%, with no interest due until the end of the year. How much higher or lower is the effective annual rate charged by Woodburn versus the rate charged by Southwestern?
a. 1.68%
b. 1.98%
c. 2.08%
d. 1.78%
e. 1.88%
Answer:
e. 1.88%
Explanation:
EAR = (1+APR/m)^m. M means compounding periods
For Southwestern Bank
EAR = (1 + 0.069/12)^12 - 1
EAR = 1.00575^12 - 1
EAR = 1.0712245 - 1
EAR = 0.0712245
EAR = 7.12%
So, the difference between the effective annual rate charged by Woodburn versus the rate charged by Southwestern is 1.88% (9% - 7.12%)
Accurate Metal Company sold 36,500 units of its product at a price of $340 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $179, consisting of $172 in variable production cost and $7 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.
Answer: $6,132,000
Explanation:
The manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing will use the variable production costs only as these are the variable costs incurred during manufacturing:
Variable manufacturing margin = ( Sales price - Variable cost per unit) * number of units
= (340 - 172) * 36,500
= 168 * 36,500
= $6,132,000
Riverbed Corporation purchased machinery on January 1, 2022, at a cost of $278,000. The estimated useful life of the machinery is 4 years, with an estimated salvage value at the end of that period of $32,800. The company is considering different depreciation methods that could be used for financial reporting purposes.
Required:
Prepare separate depreciation schedules for the machinery using the straight-line method, and the declining-balance method using double the straight-line rate.
Answer:
a. Under straight-line method, annual depreciation expenses are as follows:
Year Annual depreciation expense ($)
2022 61,300
2023 61,300
2024 61,300
2025 61,300
b. Under the declining-balance method using double the straight-line rate, annual depreciation expenses are as follows:
Year Annual depreciation expense ($)
2022 139,000
2023 69,500
2024 34,750
2025 1,950
Explanation:
a. Prepare a separate depreciation schedule for the machinery using the straight-line method.
Note: See part a of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for Straight-line method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Straight-line method is calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%
From part a of the attached excel file, we have:
Year Annual depreciation expense ($)
2022 61,300
2023 61,300
2024 61,300
2025 61,300
b. Prepare a separate depreciation schedule for the machinery using the declining-balance method using double the straight-line rate.
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for double-declining-balance method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Double declining-balance method is calculated as follows:
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%
From part b of the attached excel file, we have:
Year Annual depreciation expense ($)
2022 139,000
2023 69,500
2024 34,750
2025 1,950
Note:
Under this double-declining-balance method, the depreciation expenses for 2025 is calculated by deducting the salvage value of $32,800 from the 2025 Beginning depreciable amount (i.e. $34,750 - $32,800 = $1,950). The residual value of $32,800 therefore represents the book value on December 31, 2025.

When comparing the results of using the direct, sequential, and reciprocal services methods of allocating support department costs to production departments, which of the following statements is true for a manufacturing company that has a total of $1,500,000 in support costs to allocate?
a.The reciprocal services method allocates more than $1,500,000 to the production departments.
b.The reciprocal services method can be viewed as a compromise on accuracy and difficulty in allocating the $1,500,000 because it considers some, though not all, inter-support-department services and is easier to compute than the direct method.
c.The direct method yields the most accurate allocation of the $1,500,000.
d.The sequential method can be viewed as a compromise on accuracy and difficulty in allocating the $1,500,000 because it considers some, though not all, inter-support-department services and is easier to compute than the reciprocal services method.
Answer: d. The sequential method can be viewed as a compromise on accuracy and difficulty in allocating the $1,500,000 because it considers some, though not all, inter-support-department services and is easier to compute than the reciprocal services method
Explanation:
For a a manufacturing company that has a total of $1,500,000 in support costs to allocate, it should be noted that the sequential method can be viewed as a compromise on accuracy and difficulty in allocating the $1,500,000 because it considers some, though not all, inter-support-department services and is easier to compute than the reciprocal services method
What is the present value of an annuity that pays $58 per year for 13 years and an additional $1,000 with the final payment
Answer:
$882.03
Explanation:

Which of the following The holding-period return (HPR) on a share of stock is equal to(s) the level of real interest rates? I) The supply of savings by households and business firms II) The demand for investment funds III) The government's net supply and/or demand for funds
Answer: D. I, II, and III.
Explanation:
The demand for investment funds determines the demand for loanable funds and when this is higher than the supply, the rate increases. The reverse it true. It therefore affects real interest rates.
The savings of households and business firms are the source of loanable funds so if these are high relative to demand, the rate will decrease. The reverse is true.
Government demand for funds will increase interest rates as the supply will decrease when the government borrows massively. The reverse is true.
All three therefore impart real interest rates.
Denise will receive annual payments of $10,000 for the next 25 years. The discount rate is 6.8 percent. What is the difference in the present value of these payments if they are paid at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year
Answer: $8,069.29
Explanation:
If it is paid at the beginning of the year, it accumulates an extra year of interest and would be an Annuity Due.
If it is paid at the end, it is an ordinary annuity.
Present value of annuity due = Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity due, 6.8%, 25 periods
= 10,000 * 12.673521
= $126,735.21
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 6.8%, 25 periods
= 10,000 * 11.866592
= $118,665.92
Difference :
= 126,735.21 - 118,665.92
= $8,069.29

2. You and your wife are making plans for retirement. You plan on living 30 years after you retire and would like to have $90,000 annually on which to live. Your first withdrawal will be made one year after you retire and you anticipate that your retirement account will earn 15% annually.
a. What amount do you need in your retirement account the day you retire? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
b. Assume that your first withdrawal will be made the day you retire. Under this assumption, what amount do you now need in your retirement account the day you retire? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
1-a. What amount will be in your account at the end of 6 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Since you plan to make your first deposit one year from today, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = D * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value or the amount that will be in your account at the end of 6 years = ?
D = Annual deposit = $1,800
r = Annual return rate = 3%, or 0.03
n = number of periods = 6
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,800 * (((1 + 0.03)^6 - 1) / 0.03) = $11,643.14
Therefore, the amount that will be in your account at the end of 6 years is $11,643.14.
1-b. Assume that your deposits will begin today. What amount will be in your account after 6 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Since it is assumed that your deposits will begin today, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Due as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) * (1 + r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value or the amount that will be in your account at the end of 6 years = ?
D = Annual deposit = $1,800
r = Annual return rate = 3%, or 0.03
n = number of years = 6
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
FV = $1,800 * (((1 + 0.03)^6 - 1) / 0.03) * (1 + 0.03) = $11,992.43
Therefore, the amount that will be in your account at the end of 6 years is $11,992.43.
2-a. What amount do you need in your retirement account the day you retire? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Since your first withdrawal will be made one year after you retire, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (3)
Where:
PV = Present value or the amount you need in your retirement account the day you retire = ?
P = Annual withdrawal = $90,000
r = Annual return rate = 15%, or 0.15
n = number of years = 30
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
PV = $90,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.15))^30) / 0.15) = $590,938.17
Therefore, the amount you need in your retirement account the day you retire is $590,938.17.
2-b. Assume that your first withdrawal will be made the day you retire. Under this assumption, what amount do you now need in your retirement account the day you retire? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Since it is assumed that that your first withdrawal will be made the day you retire, this can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an annuity due as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) * (1 + r) …………………………………. (4)
Where:
PV = Present value or the amount you need in your retirement account the day you retire = ?
P = Annual withdrawal = $90,000
r = Annual return rate = 15%, or 0.15
n = number of years = 30
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
PV = $90,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.15))^30) / 0.15) (1 + 0.15) = $679,578.89
Therefore, the amount you need in your retirement account the day you retire is $679,578.89.
