Actual fixed overhead is $33,300 (12,000 machine hours) and fixed overhead was estimated at $34,000 when the predetermined rate of $3.00 per machine hour was set. If 11,500 standard hours were allowed for actual production, applied fixed overhead is:____.
a. 33,300.b. 34,000.c. 34,500.d. not determinable without knowing the actual numbers of units produced.
Answer:
C. $34,500
Explanation:
Given the above information, applied fixed overhead is computed as;
= Standard hours allowed for actual production × Predetermined rate
Standard hours allowed for actual production = 11,500
Predetermined rate = $3 per hour
Then,
Applied fixed overhead
= 11,500 hours × $3 per hour
= $34,500

Your boss wants to set safety stock levels correctly to ensure an 87.9% service level. She needs your answer right away. What should the safety stock level be given that you know: * Average replenishment cycle is 10 days * Standard deviation of daily demand is 12 units * Average daily demand is 100 units * Standard deviation of the replenishment cycle is 3 days Group of answer choices
Answer:
the safety stock is 354
Explanation:
The computation of the safety stock is shown below:
= z × SD of demand during lead time
= z × [ ( SD of daily demand)^2 × Lead time + ( Demand × SDLT)^2]^0.5
= z × [ 144 × 10+ ( 100 × 3)^2]^0.5
= z × [ 1440+90000]^0.5
= 1.17 × 302.39
= 353.79
= 354
hence, the safety stock is 354

Record the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
Answer:
Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155

ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000

Given the following, the standard cost of this item is $_____per unit.
Direct materials per unit: 2 pounds
Direct material cost: $2.50 per pound
Direct labor per unit: .75 hours
Direct labor rate: $16.00 per hour
Variable overhead rate: $8.00 per hour
Answer:
$23 per unit
Explanation:
Standard cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Standard cost = (2 pounds*$2.50 per pound) + (0.75 hours*$16.00 per hour) + (0.75 hours*$8.00 per hour)
Standard cost = $5 + $12 + $6
Standard cost = $23
So, the standard cost of this item is $23 per unit.

Mid-Town Copy Service processes 2,100,000 photocopies per month at its mid-town service center. Approximately 50 percent of the photocopies require collating. Collating is currently performed by high school and college students who are paid $8 per hour. Each student collates an average of 5,000 copies per hour. Management is contemplating the lease of an automatic collating machine that has a monthly capacity of 6,000,000 photocopies, with lease and operating costs totaling $1,550, plus $0.05 per 1,000 units collated.(a) Determine the total costs of collating 500,000 and 1,500,000 per month:1. With student help.2. With the collating machine.(b) Determine the monthly volume at which the automatic process becomes preferable to the manual process.
Answer:
Mid-Town Copy Service
a. The total costs of collating 500,000 and 1,500,000 per month are:
500,000 1,500,000
1. With student help $800 $2,400
2. With the collating machine $1,575 $1,625
b. The monthly volume at which automatic process becomes preferable to the manual process is:
= 1,050,000 photocopies.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Monthly photocopies processed per month = 2,100,000
Photocopies requiring collation = 1,050,000 (50% * 2,100,000)
Cost of collating per hour = $8
Average number of copies collated by a student per hour = 5,000
Total cost of manual collating copies = $8 * 1,050,000/5,000 = $1,680
Lease cost of automatic collating machine = $1,550 + $0.05 per 1,000 units collated
The total costs of collating 500,000 and 1,500,000 per month:
500,000 1,500,000
1. With student help $800 $2,400
($8 * 500,000/5,000) ($8 * 1,500,000/5,000)
2. With the collating machine $1,575 $1,625
($1,550 + $0.05* 500,000/1,000) ($1,550 + $0.05* 1,500,000/1,000)
b. The monthly volume at which automatic process becomes preferable to the manual process is 1,050,000.
At this volume, costs are:
Manual Process = $1,680 ($8 * 1,050,000/5,000)
Automatic Process = $1,603 ($1,550 + $0.05* 1,050,000/1,000)

Your mayor just announced that the local unemployment rate dropped from 10.5% to 10.4% from the prior month. Evaluate the unemployment rate drop and discuss whether there is enough information to determine significance. Support your response with specific examples. In replies to peers, discuss whether you agree or disagree with their assessments and justify your response
Answer:
Not enough information
Explanation:
from this question, this mayor has only given us the estimated proportion of the rate of unemployment for these months. In order to know if it is significant or not, we have to carry out other tests such as the hypothesis testing for the population proportion. But here we do not have any sample data or population data with which we can use to test this significance. The sample size is unknown so we cannot proceed to test if the claim is significant or not.

Required:
Compute depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 using the () straight-line, (2) double- declining-balance, and (3) units-of-production methods of depreciation
Answer:
1. $45,000
$45,000
2. $100,000
$50,000
3. $47250
$40,500
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($200,000 - $20,000) / 4 = $45,000
Depreciation expense each year would be $45,000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 1/2
Depreciation expense in 2019 = 1/2 x 200,000 = $100,000
Book value in 2020 = 200,0000 - 100,000 = 100,000
Depreciation expense in 2019 = 1/2 x 100,000 = 50,000
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
2019 = ($200,000 - $20,000) x ( 2,100 / 8000) = 47250
2020 = ($200,000 - $20,000) x ( 1800 / 8000) = 40,500
California wildfires destroy vineyards across the Napa Valley. This is during the season when wine festivals occur most often all over the country. Demonstrate the effect of these events on the equilibrium price and quantity of wine.
Answer:
As a result of the wildfire, supply would fall. there would be a leftward shift of the supply curve. the quantity supplied of wine would reduce and price would increase
as a result of the festival, there would be an increase in demand. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve. Thus, the quantity demanded would increase and price would increase
taking these two effects together, there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would increase

c. Some companies monitor the integrity of their brands through brand management.
d. Startups must build a brand from scratch, which starts with selecting the company's name.
e. Most experts recommend a heavy reliance on advertising in building a firm's brand.
Answer: e. Most experts recommend a heavy reliance on advertising in building a firm's brand.
Explanation:
There are many ways to build a brand and while advertising is one of them, it is not the major one and experts would not recommend that a heavy reliance is placed on it.
Rather a brand can be built by instituting a robust brand management system to ensure that the brand grows through actions that show integrity and personality that will attract people to the brand regardless of if it is being advertised or not.
Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $0.50 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 49% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 9% per year. If the required return on Computech is 16%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer: $8.81
Explanation:
To solve this, add the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4 and 5 and then add the present value of the terminal value of the stock at year 5.
Year 3 dividend = $0.50
Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745
Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005
= Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵
= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵
= $8.81
If the required return on Compu tech is 16%, the value of stock today is $8.81. To answer this, sum the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4, and 5, followed by the present value of the stock's terminal value in year 5.
The current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows at a predetermined rate of return is known as its present value (PV). The present value of future cash flows is reduced by the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of future cash flows.
Given,
Year 3 dividend = $0.50
Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745
Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005
Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵
= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵
= $8.81

Jefferson tutoring had the following payroll information on Feb 28:
Gross pay: 4,000
Cumulative earnings prior to this payroll: 4,000
Assume:
FICA tax rates are OASDI 6.2% on a limit of 117,000 and medicare 1.45%.
State unemployment tax rate is 2% on the first 7,000.
Federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% on the first 7,000
Using the information above the journal entry to record the payroll tax expense for jefferson tutoring would include:____.
A. a credit to FUTA payable for 24.
B. a debit to payroll tax expense in the amount of 390.
C. a credit to SUTA payable for 60.
D. all of the above.
Answer: D. all of the above.
Explanation:
FUTA:
Cumulative earnings were $4,000. FUTA is one the first $7,000 which means that only $3,000 is left to be taxed on account of the cumulative earnings prior to this payroll having been taxed:
= 0.8% * 3,000
= $24
This will be credited to FUTA Payable to recognize that Jefferson owes this liability.
SUTA:
Same goes for SUTA:
= 2% * 3,000
= $60
This will be credited to SUTA Payable to recognize that Jefferson owes this liability.
Payroll tax expense:
= FICA taxes + Medicare + FUTA + SUTA
= ((6.2% + 1.45%) * 4,000) + 24 + 60
= $390
This will be debited to Payroll Tax expense because expenses are debited when they increase.
Leona, whose marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 37 percent, owns 100 percent of the stock of Henley Corporation. This year, Henley generates $1 million of taxable income.
If Henley wants to pay all of its after-tax earnings to Leona as a dividend, calculate the amount of the dividend payment.
Calculate Leona’s tax due on the dividend computed in part a, and her after-tax cash flow from the dividend receipt.
Compute the combined corporate and individual tax burden on Henley’s $1 million of current year income, and the effective combined tax rate on this income.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First and foremost, it should be noted that there's a flat tax rate of 21% on the taxable income, therefore the after tax income will be:
= (1 - 21%) × $1 million
= 79% × $1 million
= $790,000
Therefore, the amount of the dividend payment is $790,000 which is given to Leona.
The after tax cash flow from the dividend receipt will be:
= $790,000 - (20% × $790,000)
= $790,000 - (0.2 × $790,000)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
Therefore, the total tax by Henly and Leona will then be:
= $210,000 + $158,000
= $368,000.
This is 36.8% (368000/1 million) of the tax rate.
