Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 34,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 119,000. Units completed and transferred out: 153,000. Ending Inventory: 34,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 35% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $52,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $57,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $349,625. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $608,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28
Explanation:
The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units complete to the extent of the input elements added during production.
The FIFO method in Process costing Accounts for Costs only incurred during the Manufacturing Period. Also, The Opening Work In Process is Assumed to be completed first.
The First Step is to Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Raw Materials :
To finish Opening Work In Process (34,000 × 0%) = 0
Started and Completed ((153,000 - 34,000) × 100% ) = 119,000
Closing Work In Process (34,500 × 100%) = 34,500
Total Equivalent Units of Production = 153,500
The Next and Final Step is to calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost During the Current Period / Total Equivalent Units of Production
= $349,625 / 153,500
= $2.2776872
= $2.28 (2 decimal places)
Conclusion :
The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28
"In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, if we assume that the effect of adding debt to firm's capital structure is exactly balanced by an increase in the cost of equity as more debt is added, what is the effect of increased debt usage on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Answer: WACC remains constant as leverage increases.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, if we assume that the effect of adding debt to firm's capital structure is exactly balanced by an increase in the cost of equity as more debt is added, what is the effect of increased debt usage on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
a. WACC first increases, then decreases as leverage increases.
b. WACC remains constant as leverage increases.
c. WACC increases continuously as leverage increases.
d. WACC decreases continually as leverage increases.
In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, the capital structure is not relevant as the way a company finances it operations does not really matter.
For the capital markets, they will be perfectly competitive and there will be no taxes, bankruptcy costs or transactions cost and investors all have the same expectations. The weighted average cost if capital will be thesame even though leverage increases.

Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.
Activity-based overhead rates
Designing $ per designer hour
Sizing and cutting $ per machine hour
Stitching and trimming $ per labor hour
Wrapping and packing $ per finished unit
Answer:
Designing = $32.50 per designer hour
Sizing and cutting = $23.50 per machine hour
Stitching and trimming = $18.85 per labor hour
Wrapping and packing = $11.10 per finished unit
Explanation:
The Activity Based Overhead Costing involves calculation of cost driver rate for each activity center.
Cost Driver Rate = Cost of Activity / Number of Times that Activity is Performed
Designing = $455,000 / 14,000
= $32.50
Sizing and cutting = $3,948,000 / 168,000
= $23.50
Stitching and trimming = $1,479,725 / 78,500
= $18.85
Wrapping and packing = $333,000 / 30,000
= $11.10

Pablo Management has seven employees, each of whom earns $210 per day. They are paid on Fridays for work completed Monday through Friday of the same week. Near year-end, the seven employees worked Monday, December 31, and Wednesday through Friday, of the same week. The next week, the seven employees worked only four days because New Year's Day was an unpaid Holiday.
Required:
a. Prepare the adjusting entry that would be recorded Monday, December 31, 2013.
b. Prepare the journal entry that would be made to record payment of the employees' wages on Friday, Janyary 4, 2014.
Answer:
a) $1,470 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Credit –Wage Payable.
b) $4,410 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Debit –Wage Payable
Explanation:
Remember, we are told each of the worker earns $210 per day. Therefore
a.To record accrued and current wages.Wages expense = 7 workers × 3 days × $210 = $4,410.
b. To record accrued wages four days Cash = 7 workers × 4 days × $210 = $5,880. For one day (7 workers × $210) = $1,470.
You own a farm, you hire labor and capital to produce apples. The marginal product of the last unit of labor input is 15 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital input is 45. The market wage for labor is $8. If you are using the optimal combination of inputs, then the price of capital is
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
We can say the Optimal combination of inputs can be expressed as the ratio of marginal productivity of labor to the marginal productivity of capital is equal to the ratio of price of labor(wage) to the price of capital(RENT).
Lets denote:
marginal productivity of labor = MPL
marginal productivity of capital = MPC
Wage= W
Rent= R
Then the formula will be
[tex]\frac{MPL}{MPC}=\frac{W}{R}[/tex]
Workings:
Lets put in the values in the formula
[tex]\frac{15}{45} = \frac{8}{R}[/tex]
We have to find out R(Rent)
R= 8x3
R= $24
What are the benefits and risks of being acquired by a larger company?
You have $17,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 15 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 10 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.15 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y
Answer:
For X = $7,130
For Y = $9,690
Explanation:
The calculation of investment in stock X and stock Y is shown below:-
We assume the weight of investment in stock x = x
Expected return = Weight of x × Return of x + Weight of y × Return of y
12.15 = x × 15 + (1 - x) × 10
12.15 = 15x + 10 - 10x
x = (12.15 - 10) ÷ 5
x = 43%
Investment in stock Y = 100 - 43
= 57%
Now,
Dollar Investment in x = Stock investment × Expected return
= $17,000 × 43%
= $7,130
Dollar Investment in x = Stock investment × Expected return
= $17,000 × 57%
= $9,690
So, we have applied the above formula.
Magpie Corporation uses the total cost method of product pricing. Below is cost information for the production and sale of 60,000 units of its sole product. Magpie desires a profit equal to a 25% return on invested assets of $700,000. Fixed factory overhead cost $38,700 Fixed selling and administrative costs 7,500 Variable direct materials cost per unit 4.60 Variable direct labor cost per unit 1.88 Variable factory overhead cost per unit 1.13 Variable selling and administrative cost per unit 4.50 The markup percentage on total cost for Magpie's product is
Answer:
Mark-up =22.64%
Explanation:
Profit = Return on Investment (%) × assets\
Profit = 25% × 700,000 = 175,000
Total variable cost = (4.60+ 1.88+ 1.13+ 4.50 )× 60,000= 726600
Total cost = Total variable cost + total fixed cost
= 726600 + 38,700+ 7,500= 772800
Mark-up = profit/cost × 100
= 175,000/726,600 × 100 = 22.64%
Mark-up =22.64%

2.Total cost per unit for Model 145 is $765.59, and total cost per unit for Model 212 is $445.12.
3. Profit per unit for Model 145 is $54.41, while profit per unit for Model 212 is $34.88.
Explanation:
1. Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Note: See the attached excel file for the computation.
2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Total cost per unit for each model = Overhead cost per unit + direct labor and direct materials costs per unit.
Therefore, we have:
Total cost per unit for Model 145 = $515.59 + $250 = $765.59
Total cost per unit for Model 212 = $265.12 + $180 = $445.12
3. Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Profit or loss per unit for each model = Market price per unit - Total cost per unit.
Therefore, we have:
Profit or loss per unit for Model 145 = $820 - $765.59 = $54.41 profit
Profit or loss per unit for Model 212 = $480 - 445.12 = $34.88 profit
6. 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? Check all that apply. Funds spent by city governments to renovate their buildings The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government The costs of air and water pollution The variety of goods available to consumers When a U.S. company purchases and imports automotive parts from Canada to use to build cars within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of automotive parts from Canada causes in US GDP.
Answer:
The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government
The costs of air and water pollution
The variety of goods available to consumers
It increases investment spending by businesses
Decreasing net export
No change
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the sum of the goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.
Gross domestic product calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending + Investment spending + net export + government spending
Items not included in the calculation of GDP:
1. Intermediate goods
2. Externalities e.g. pollution
3. Measures of welfare available to individuals
4. Transactions not reported to the government.
Funds spent by city governments to renovate their buildings are included in GDP as part of investment spending.
Purchase of automative parts would be included in GDP as part of investment spending. So investment spending would rise. Also, it would be recorded as an import and import is a negative function of GDP and thus net export would decrease . As a result, the increase in investment spending would be offset by the decrease in net export and there would be no change in GDP

A firm has fixed assets of $28,000, long-term debt of $12,000, current liabilities of $4,000, current assets of $5,000 and equity of $17,000. What is the total of the assets side of the balance sheet of the firm
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity
assets include current assets + non current or fixed assets = $5,000 + $28,000 = $33,000
liabilities and stockholders' equity include current liabilities + long term liabilities + equity = $4,000 + $12,000 + $17,000 = $33,000
both sides of the accounting equation must always be equal, that is meant by balance.
A young couple is planning for the education of their two children. They plan to invest the same amount of money at the end of each of the next 16 years. The first contribution will be made at the end of the year and the final contribution will be made at the end of the year the older child enters college. The money will be invested in securities that are certain to earn a return of 8% each year. The older child will begin college in 16 years and the second child will begin college in 18 years. The parents anticipate college costs of $25,000 a year (per child). These costs must be paid at the end of each year. If each child takes four years to complete their college degrees, then how much money must the couple save each year
Answer:
The couple must save $ 6,598 each year
Explanation:
Calculating the payment amount:
Cost per year = $25,000 per each child
Cost for 4 years = $25,000 × 4 = $100,000
For the oldest child, the college will begin in 16 years and the second child the college will begin in 18 years.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the oldest child.
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 16
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $3,298
Therefore, they must deposit $3,298 each year for their oldest child.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the second child:
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 18
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $2,670
Therefore, they must deposit $2,670 each year for their second child.
Total sum to be saved per year = $3,298 + $2,670 = $6,598
An inexperienced accountant for Ayayai Corp. showed the following in the income statement: income before income taxes $250,000 and unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities (before taxes) $85,000. The unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities and income before income taxes are both subject to a 25% tax rate. Prepare a correct statement of comprehensive income.
Answer:

Statement of Comprehensive Income
For the Year Ended xxx, 202x
Net income $187,500
Other comprehensive income:
Unrealized gain on AFS securities $85,000
Comprehensive income $272,500
Explanation:
In order to prepare a statement of comprehensive income we first need to determine net income after taxes = $250,000 x (1 - 25%) = $187,500
Unrealized gains or losses are not taxed until they are actually realized (either make profit or lose money).
A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system
Answer:
The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50
Explanation:
Using LIFO,last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory
value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50
An asset was acquired on September 30, 2021, for $104,000 with an estimated five-year life and $25,000 residual value. The company uses double-declining-balance depreciation. Calculate the gain or loss if the asset was sold on December 31, 2022, for $54,000. Partial-year depreciation is to be calculated.
Answer:
There is a loss on disposal of $80
Explanation:
The double declining rate method of depreciation is an accelerated form of charging depreciation on an asset. It charges higher depreciation in the earlier years and lower depreciation in the later years of the useful life of the asset. the formula for double declining balance depreciation per year is,
Depreciation expense = 2 * [ (Cost - Accumulated depreciation) / estimated useful life of the asset ]
The depreciation expense per year on this asset is,
Depreciation expense = 2 * [(104000 - 0) / 5]
Depreciation expense for the 1 year(2021) = $41600
As the asset was purchased in September, we will charge a depreciation expense of 4 months.
Depreciation expense for 2021 = 31600 * 4/12 = $13866.67
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021 = $13866.67
Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = 2 * [(104000 - 13866.67) / 5]
Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = $36053.33
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = 13866.67 + 36053.33
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = $49920
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we need to determine the Net Book value of the asset at the end of 2022 and compare it with the cash received from the sale. If the cash received is more than the Net Book Value, there is a gain on disposal and if the cash received is less than the Net Book Value, there is a loss on disposal.
Net Book value at the end of 2022 = 104000 - 49920 = $54080
Loss on disposal = 54000 - 54080 = - $80 (loss on disposal)
The loss on the sale of the asset is $2,160.
There would be a loss on the sale of the asset is the book value of the asset is greater than the selling price of the asset.
Depreciation is a method used to reduce the carrying value of an asset.
Double declining depreciation = (2/ useful life) x cost of the asset
Depreciation expense in 2021 = (2/5) x $104,000 = $41,600
3/12 x $41,600 = $10,400
Book value in 2021 = $104,000 - $10,400 = $93,600
Depreciation expense in 2022 = (2/5) x $93,600 = $37,440
Book value in 2022 = $93,600 - $37,440 = $56,160
Loss = $56,160 - $54,000.= $2,160

If a perpetual inventory system is in use _____. a physical inventory count is not required because the Inventory account is updated for each purchase and sale. a physical inventory count is not required because the Inventory account is updated every time a transaction or event occurs. a physical inventory count should be taken at least annually. a physical inventory count is required because the Inventory account is not updated when inventory is purchased or sold.
Answer: a physical inventory count should be taken at least annually
Explanation: That an inventory is perpetual does not discount the need for taking physical inventory at least once a year. This is important because it helps in the identification of shrinkage or shortages and to also test the accuracy of the perpetual records under use. Now, a perpetual inventory is a kind of inventory that tracks and records continuously, items as they are added to or subtracted from the inventory thus keeping it updated and aids in keeping the track of the cost of goods bought and sold.
J-Chron's board of directors periodically meets with the CFO of the company. The CFO reports on the financial status of a company project. The board asks whether the project is compliant with legally-required accounting principles, but asks no other questions about the project, such as how the project supports the company's mission and strategy. Which of the following is true? 1. The board is meeting legal requirements but not its duty of care to shareholders. 2. The board is fully meeting its duty of care to shareholders. 3. The board is not legally required to meet any duty of care requirements. 4. The board is not meeting its duty of care to shareholders.
Answer:
1. The board is meeting legal requirements but not its duty of care to shareholders.
Explanation:
During a Board of Directors meeting with CFO all conversations will be about strengthening the company and the organization's shareholders. Shareholders are also considered the entity's owners, so it is very important to comply with all the legal provisions in addition to increasing shareholders.
In this given situation, the board meets with CFO and asks in compliance with accounting standards, but asks little more about how the project aims to achieve the company's mission and strategy. Mission and plan describe the company's vision alongside the company's owners(shareholders) vision and benefits.
hence, the correct option is 1.

The BCC box is the blind carbon copy box. This is also where you can put other people's emails. They will receive a copy, but they can't see the others who also got the copy, hence the name blind carbon copy.
The subject box is where you write the subject or topic of the email. This tells the recipients what the email is about, before they begin reading it.
Therefore, the best choice is C: subject box.
On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $37,000
Installation= $4,000
Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.
First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.
Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000
Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000
Annual depreciation= $4,620

Answer:
The answer is Option D. 1.68 times
Explanation:
The formula for equity multiplier is:
Equity Multiplier = Total assets ÷ Total stockholder's equity
In 2017:
Total stockholder's equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Total stockholder's equity = $2890 + $700 = $3590
Total assets = $6,015
Now, putting these values in the above formula, we get,
Equity multiplier = $6,015 ÷ $3,590 = 1.68 times

Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $243,000 and 8,000 estimated direct labor-hours. Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $244,200 and actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.The applied manufacturing overhead for the year was closest to:________
a. 229586
b. 234600
c. 242006
d. 236854
Answer:
Allocated overhead= $173,137.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $243,000
Estimated direct-labor hours= 8,000
Actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 243,000/8,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $30.375 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated overhead= 30.375*5,700= $173,137.5
A firm is deciding between two different sewing machines. Technology A has fixed costs of $500 and marginal costs of $50 whereas Technology B has fixed costs of $250 and marginal costs of $100. If the price is $60 per unit, what is the break even amount of units for technology A?A. 50 B. 100 C. 150D. None-They would have to shut down
Answer:
A. 50 units
Explanation:
Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / (Selling price - Variable cost)
= $ 500 / ($ 60 - $ 50)
= $ 500/$10
= 50 units
The break-even point is derived by dividing the fixed costs of production by the price per unit - the variable costs of production. Break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the Income for the particular product
