a) 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= (77,200 + 3,000 + 14,000) / 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.42 per machine hour
b) To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Job E:
Allocated MOH= 5,000*9.42
Allocated MOH= $23,550
c) Total cost= 21,600 + 22,600 + 47,100
Total cost= $91,300
d) Selling price= 91,300*1.2= $109,560
e) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (24,000/3,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9 per machine hour
f) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (53,200/7,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.6 per machine hour
Three explorers are getting kidnapped by an evil tribe deep in the jungle, and their life now depends on their ability to correctly answer the following challenge the evil tribe's chief has for them. The explorers are tied to three trees facing each other and are presented with the chief's 5 wives: 3 brunettes, and 2 blondes. The three explorers are now blindfolded, and the chief picks three of his five wives to stand behind the trees the explorers are tied to, one behind each tree. The remaining two wives disappear from view. Then the blindfolds come off, and each explorer is able to see the two wives that are standing behind his two colleagues, but not the one behind himself. Each explorer now has up to 10 minutes time to think, after which each has to correctly answer what hair color the wife has that is standing behind him, or lose his life. When you, as one of the three explorers, gain your sight after the blindfold comes off, you see two brunettes standing behind your two colleagues. And now your life depends on figuring out who is behind you: a blonde or a brunette?
Answer:
Brunette
Explanation:
Originally there were 3 brunettes and 2 blondes. If once you are able to see, you realize that 2 brunettes are standing behind your friends, that means that behind you there could be one of two blondes or the remaining brunette.
The possibility of the wife behind you being a blonde is 2/3 or 67%, while the chance of her being brunette is only 33%. But this question is not about probability, instead it is about game strategy. I would bet that the wife behind me is a brunette.
Imagine that the two women that you saw were blondes, then you would immediately say brunette. Even if you only saw one blonde wife, your obvious choice would be brunette. This applies to all 3 friends and the chief is gambling against you all 3. He will not give any of you any type of advantage.

Answer:
the options are missing:
Specific, actionable, and justified
Specific but not actionable and not justified
Specific and actionable but not justified
The answer is:
Specific, actionable, and justifiedThis proposition is very specific (it is the only thing that all three options agree upon).
In order for a recommendation to be actionable, it must be relevant and feasible.
This recommendation is feasible since 83% of the employees prefer the $100 stipend. It is also relevant because the company can save approximately $61 per employee per day.
This $61 savings per day per employee also makes this proposition justifiable since the company's employees travel a lot.
Reimbursement is the payment that the company does to its employees for their service. The proposal is Specific, actionable, and justified.

Amy and Mitchell share equally in the profits, losses, and capital of the accrual basis AM Products LLC. The LLC does not need to report financial information to any third parties, so capital accounts are determined using tax rules (rather than GAAP). Amy is a managing member of the LLC (treated as a general partner) and is a U.S. person. At the beginning of the current tax year, Amy's capital account has a balance of $960,000, and the LLC has debts of $624,000 payable to unrelated parties. The debts are recourse to the LLC, but neither of the LLC members has personally guaranteed them. Assume that all LLC debt is shared equally between the partners. The following information about AM's operations for the current year is obtained from the LLC's records.
Ordinary income $900,000
W-2 wages to employees 200,000
Depreciation expense 300,000
Interest income from bond 4,000
Long-term capital loss 6,000

Year-end LLC debt payable to unrelated parties is $140,000.
Required:
What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Share of ordinary income:
= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2
= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2
= 400,000/2
= 200,000
Share of net short term capital gain
= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%
= 6,000 × 0.5
= 3,000
Share of interest income
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Share of charitable contribution deduction
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5

This activity is important because any business that offers multiple product lines to multiple market segments is faced with the task of making the product/market decisions and prioritizing those decisions. Products and market segments that are growing quickly and are very profitable should get more attention and resources than a product and market segment that does not show as much potential.
Once a marketing manager creates a market-product grid, they must select which segments to target. To do this, the marketing manager should use several criteria in assessing the different segments. Those criteria include: market size, expected growth, competitive position, cost of reaching the segment, and the compatibility with the organization's objectives and resources.
The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the market-product development process by analyzing a gift shop's markets and products.
Read the case below and then answer the questions that follow as you consider its markets and product offerings.
A small local gift shop recently marked its 25th anniversary of being in business. Over that time, the owners have continually changed the products sold in its store to reflect changes in the market. From the early days of selling small gift-type items such as figurines and collectibles, the store now offers a more eclectic mix of merchandise that includes Vera Bradley purses and inexpensive jewelry, as well as items that could be classified as "gift-type" products and merchandise that is best described as "collectibles."
However, the demographics of the store's market, as well as the needs of that market, seem to be changing. There has been an influx of younger customers (20s and 30s) into the area, which has brought the average age of the area down by 9.8 years. This rapidly growing segment doesn't seem interested in buying the same collectibles that their parents bought. Many older residents (60s and 70s) have been leaving the area for retirement. The older customers are still buying the collectibles, but are also buying gifts for children and grandchildren for holidays and special occasions. Indeed, while sales of merchandise aimed at the younger customers have grown 30 percent, sales to the older crowd have been flat. And the younger group has now passed the older segment in terms of the size of the population. While there are other stores in the area selling similar merchandise, this gift shop has managed to get an exclusive on the Vera Bradley line, which has been popular with the younger customers. The owners of the gift shop are considering which market segment should be the focus of their attention and limited resources. This is an especially critical decision because of the limited space in the store and the need to add fixtures for carrying some of the collectible items that are coming on the market.
Based on the limited information in the case, which market segment is larger?
a) the over-80 segment
b) all segments are the same size
c) the 60s and 70s segment
d) the 20s and 30s segment
Answer:
d) the 20s and 30s segment
Explanation:
The case clearly states "And the younger group has now passed the older segment in terms of the size of the population."
Besides the fact that there are more younger people than older people in the area, the demographic of the store's customers is changing also: "... sales of merchandise aimed at the younger customers have grown 30 percent, sales to the older crowd have been flat.".
We can imply that the store's largest market segment is young people in their 20s and 30s.
A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Answer:
$150.34
Explanation:
The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a leading international mining company of copper, gold, and molybdenum. Its revenues were over $16 billion with net income of nearly $2 billion in a recent year.
Assume that in February 2020, Freeport-McMoRan paid $800,000 for a mineral deposit in Indonesia. During March, it spent $70,000 in preparing the deposit for exploitation. It was estimated that 1,000,000 total cubic yards could be extracted economically. During 2020, 60,000 cubic yards were extracted. During January 2021, the company spent another $6,000 for additional developmental work that increased the estimated productive capacity of the mineral deposit.
Required:
a. Compute the acquisition cost of the deposit in 2020.
b. Compute depletion for 2020.
c. Compute the net book value of the deposit after payment of the January 2021 developmental costs.
Answer:
A. $ 870,000
B. $52,200
C. $823,800
Explanation:
a. Computation for acquisition cost.
Using this formula
Acquistion cost= 800,000 +70,000
Acquistion cost=$ 870,000
2. Computation for depletion
Depletion for 2020=
(870,000/1,000,000)*60,000
Depletion for 2020=0.87*60,000
Depletion for 2020= $52,200
3. Computation for the net book value
Net book value =$870,000 -$52,200 +$6,000
Net book value=$823,800

g A stock just paid a dividend of $2.59. The dividend is expected to grow at 20.07% for two years and then grow at 4.44% thereafter. The required return on the stock is 11.20%. What is the value of the stock?
Answer:
52.43
Explanation:
2.59 x (1.2007) = 3.11
Present value = 3.11 / 1.1120 = 2.80
2.59 x (1.2007²) = 3.73
Present value = 3.73 / 1.1120² = 3.02
3.73 (1.0444) / (0.1120 - 0.0444) = 57.63
Present value = 57.63 / 1.1120² = 46.61
Value of the stock = 2.80 + 3.02 + 46.61 = 52.43

If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts decreases from $1.10 to $0.90 and the quantity demanded increases from 190 bags to 210 bags, then the price elasticity of demand (by the midpoint method) is:
Answer:Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method= [tex]\frac{(Q2- Q1)/(Q2+Q1)/2}{(P2- P1)/(P2+P1)/2}[/tex]
where Q =Quantity demanded
P = Price
Price elasticity of demand = ([tex]\frac{(210-190/210+190)/2}{0.90-1.10/ 0.90+1.10)/2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20/400)/2 }{ -0.2/2)/2}[/tex]
0.025/ -0.05 = -0.05
Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
The Price elasticity of demand tells us how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price. Here the Demand for a good is inelastic because the PED coefficient is less than one -0.05
Answer:
Elasticity = 0.5
Explanation:
Elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. One of the methods used to calculate it is the midpoint method.
Midpoint method uses average values to calculate the elasticity of demand of a good.
Elasticity = {(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)/2} ÷ {(P2 - P1) ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}
Elasticity = {(210 - 190) ÷ (210 + 190)/2} ÷ {(0.9 - 1.10) ÷ (0.9 + 1.10)/2}
Elasticity = 0.1 ÷ 0.2
Elasticity = 0.5
Last month Dexter Company had a $11,780 loss on sales of $164,000. Fixed costs are $62,620 a month. By how much do sales have to increase for Dexter to break even
Answer:
$38,000
Explanation:
Calculation for how much do sales have to increase for Dexter to break even
First step is to find the contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio = ($62,620 - $11,780)/$164,000 = 30%
Contribution margin ratio =$50,840/$164,000
Contribution margin ratio=31%
Second step is to find the Break even sales Break even sales=$62,620/0.31
Break even sales=$202,000
Last step is to find the increase in sales
Sales must increase =$202,000 - $164,000
Sales must increase = $38,000
Therefore the amount that sales have to increase for Dexter to break even will be $38,000

Explain why different things are important for journalists from different media, with specific reference to radio, television and daily newspapers journalists. (9 marks)
Answer:
Because each of those mediums has a different logic.
Explanation:
For journalists in television, time is a great constraint, and therefore, they are interested in news reporting that is succint, and even entertaining.
In newspapers, what is limited is not time, but word space. Journalists are worried about presenting a newstory with the right words, but without an excessive amount of them.
Finally, in radio, journalists are worried about presenting a newscast with clear words, and in a way that the listener can understand, because radio lacks the visual clues that are present in newspapers and television.
Your company has sales of this year and cost of goods sold of . You forecast sales to increase to next year. Using the percent of sales method, forecast next year's cost of goods sold. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career.
The forecasted cost of goods sold (COGS) is $________
Complete question :
Your company has sales of $101,500 this year and cost of goods sold of $66,300. You forecast sales to increase to $118,900 next year. Using the percent of sales method, forecast next year's cost of goods sold. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career The forecasted cost of goods sold (COGS) is $ ___________ (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$77,666
Explanation:
Given the following :
Sales for the year = $101,500
Cost of goods sold =$66,300
Forecasted increase in sales for next year = $118,900
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year =?
Percentage cost of goods sold for this year:
Cost of goods sold / sales for this year
$66300/$101500
= 0.6532019
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year:
(Forecasted increase in next year's sale * % cost of goods sold for this year)
= 118,900 * 0.6532019
= $77665.714
= $77666 ( nearest dollar)
Glassworks Inc. produces two types of glass shelving, rounded edge and squared edge, on the same production line. For the current period, the company reports the following data.
Rounded Edge Squared Edge Total
Direct materials $ 9,500 $ 21,600 $ 31,100
Direct labor 6,200 11,800 18,000
Overhead (300% of direct labor cost) 18,600 35,400 54,000
Total cost $ 34,300 $ 68,800 $ 103,100
Quantity produced 10,500 ft. 14,000 ft.
Average cost per ft. (rounded) $ 3.27 $ 4.91
Glassworks's controller wishes to apply activity-based costing (ABC) to allocate the $54,000 of overhead costs incurred by the two product lines to see whether cost per foot would change markedly from that reported above. She has collected the following information.
Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool) Cost
Supervision $ 2,160
Depreciation of machinery 28,840
Assembly line preparation 23,000
Total overhead $ 54,000
She has also collected the following information about the cost drivers for each category (cost pool) and the amount of each driver used by the two product lines. (Round activity rate and cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)
Usage
Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool) Driver Rounded Edge Squared Edge Total
Supervision Direct labor cost ($) $ 6,200 $ 11,800 $ 18,000
Depreciation of machinery Machine hours 400 hours 800 hours 1,200 hours
Assembly line preparation Setups (number) 32 times 93 times 125 times
Required:
Use this information to (1) assign these three overhead cost pools to each of the two products using ABC, (2) determine average cost per foot for each of the two products using ABC, and (3) compare the average cost per foot under ABC with the average cost per foot under the current method for each product. For part 3, explain why a difference between the two cost allocation methods exists.
Answer:
Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool) Cost
Supervision $2,160
Depreciation of machinery $28,840
Assembly line preparation $23,000
Total overhead $54,000
Supervision
Direct labor cost ($) $6,200 $11,800 $18,000
Depreciation of machinery
Machine hours 400 hours 800 hours 1,200 hours
Assembly line preparation Setups (number)
32 times 93 times 125 times
1)
overhead costs assigned to Rounded Edge
supervision = $2,160 x ($6,200 / $18,000) = $744
depreciation = $28,840 x (400 / 1,200) = $9,613
assembly line preparation = $23,000 x (32/125) = $5,888
total overhead costs = $16,245
overhead costs assigned to Squared Edge
total overhead costs = $54,000 - $16,245 = $37,755
2)
total costs assigned to Rounded Edge
materials $9,500
direct labor $6,200
overhead $16,245
total $31,945
cost per foot = $31,945 / 10,500 = $3.0424 per foot
total costs assigned to Squared Edge
materials $21,600
direct labor $11,800
overhead $37,755
total $71,155
cost per foot = $71,155 / 14,000 = $5.0825 per foot
3)
The average cost per foot of Rounded Edge decreased because lower overhead costs were allocated to their production.
The average cost per foot of Squared Edge increased because higher overhead costs were allocated to their production.
asper makes a $28,000, 90-day, 8.5% cash loan to Clayborn Co. The amount of interest that Jasper will collect on the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
$595
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of interest is shown below:-
Amount of interest = Loan amount × Interest rate × Number of days ÷ Number of days in a year
= $28,000 × 8.5% × 90 ÷ 360
= $595
Therefore for computing the amount of interest we simply applied the above formula.
And the same is to be considered
Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc and Michelle also paid $2,500 of qualifying moving expenses, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500. Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $1,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $5,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year.
a) What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
b) What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?
c) What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
d) What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
e) What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year? (Use the tax rate schedules.)
f) Complete the first two pages of Marc and Michelle’s Form 1040 (use 2015 forms if 2016 forms are unavailable).
Answer:
A) $76500
B) $72500
C) $24750
D) tax refund of $260
Explanation:
A) calculate Marc and Michelle's gross income
Marc salary = $64000
Michelle's salary = $12000
interest from corporate bond = $ 500
Hence gross income = 64000 + 12000 + 500 = $76500
B) Calculate Marc and Michelle's Adjusted gross income
Gross income = $76500
qualifying moving expenditure = $2500
Alimony paid to previous spouse = $1500
adjusted gross income = 76500 - 2500 - 1500 = $72500
C) Calculate the total amount of Marc and Michelle's deductions from AGI
Standard deduction = $12600
itemized deduction = $6000
personal and dependency allowance = $12150
To calculate the Deductions from AGI we have to add the personal and dependency allowance to the standard deduction ( higher value between standard deduction and itemized deduction )
= 12600 + 12150 = $24750
D ) calculate Marc and Michelle's taxable income
Adjusted gross income = $72500
deduction from itemized deduction = $24750
taxable income = 72500 - 24750 = $47750
E) Determine if Marc and Michelle's taxes payable or refund due for the year
Tax rate schedules :
between $18451 to $79000 : tax rate = $1845 + 15% of income over $18450
Taxable income = $47750
Tax liability = 1845 + (47750 - 18450) * 15% = $6240
child tax credit = $1000
prepayment of taxes = $5500
Tax refund = tax liability - child tax - prepayment of taxes
6240 - 1000 - 5500 = $260
hence there will be a tax return of $260
