Standish Company manufactures consumer products and provided the following information for the month of February:
Units produced 131,000
Standard direct labor hours per unit 0.20
Standard fixed overhead rate (per direct labor hour) $2.50
Budgeted fixed overhead $65,000
Actual fixed overhead costs $68,300
Actual hours worked 26,350
Required:
a. Calculate the fixed overhead spending variance using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the volume variance using the formula approach.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Fixed overhead Spending Variance is
= Budgeted Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed overhead
= $65000 - $68300
= - $3300 (unfavorable)
b.
Fixed Overhead Volume Variance is
= (131000 × 0.20 × $2.50) - $65000
=$65500 - $65000
= $500 Favorable
In this way these can be determined
Classify each person as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force.
a. Latasha is a former police officer who was laid off after cuts to the city budget. After searching unsuccessfully for a full-time position, she took a part-time job as a security guard and worked nine hours last week.
b. Susan is a former police officer who was laid off after cuts to the city budget. After searching unsuccessfully for a full-time position, she took a part-time job as a security guard and worked nine hours last week.
c. Kate lost her job as a real estate agent six months ago. She became so frustrated with her inability to find work that she stopped looking for work altogether seven weeks ago.
d. Becky lost her job as a port security officer last month after the city decided to shut down the docks. She has yet to find a job, but she interviewed for a position a few days ago
Answer:
employed
employed
not part of the labour force
unemployed
Explanation:
A person is classified as unemployed if the person is without a job but has searched for employment within the past four weeks or the person is set to resume a job within the next three months
Becky is unemployed because she is without a job and has interviewed for a position a couple of days ago, She is frictionally unemployed
Frictional unemployment is the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job.
Kate is a discouraged worker. Discouraged workers are not included in the labour force.
A discouraged worker is a person who is within the legal employment age but is without a job and has given up on searching for employment
A person is considered employed if the person is working for some form of remuneration
A company purchased a computer system at a cost of $26,000. The estimated useful life is 8 years, and the estimated residual value is $4,000. Assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method, what is the depreciation expense for the second year
Answer:
the depreciation expense for the second year is $4,875
Explanation:
The calculation of the depreciation expense for the second year is given below:
First the depreciation rate should be
= 1 ÷ 8 × 2
= 25%
Now the first year depreciation is
= $26,000 × 25%
= $6,500
Now the second year depreciation should be
= ($26,000 - $6,500) × 2
= $4,875
Hence, the depreciation expense for the second year is $4,875
XYZ Co. reported the following results for October: Sales $ 32,000 Cost of goods sold (all variable) $ 6,000 Total variable selling expense $ 2,500 Total fixed selling expense $ 4,700 Total variable administrative expense $ 1,800 Total fixed administrative expense $ 3,000 The contribution margin for October is:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the information above,
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses
Sales = $32,000
Variable expenses = Total variable selling expenses + Total variable administrative expenses
= $2,500 + $1,800
= $4,300
Therefore,
Contribution margin = $32,000 - $4,300
Contribution margin = $27,700
Therefore, the contribution margin for October is $27,700
What is the IRR, assuming an industrial building can be purchased for $250,000 and is expected to yield cash flows of $18,000 for each of the next five years and be sold at the end of the fifth year for $280,000
Answer:
9.2%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-250,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $18,000 + $280,000
IRR = 9.2%
To determine IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

George has been selling 8,000 T-shirts per month for $8.00. When he increased the price to $9.00, he sold only 7,000 T-shirts.
Which of the following best approximates the price elasticity of demand?
A. -1.2467
B. -1.02
C. -0.5667
D. -1.1333
Suppose George's marginal cost is $3 per shirt.
Before the price change, George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately
A. 0.5625
B. 0.375
C. 0.625
D. 0.6875
George's desired markup is?
A. 1.3235
B. 0.7941
C. 0.9706
D. 0.8824
Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was (LESS OR GREATER) than his desired margin, raising the price was (PROFITABLE OR NOT PROFITABLE).
Answer:
a. The best approximates the price elasticity of demand is -1.1333. Therefore, the correct option is D. -1.1333.
b. George's Initial price markup over marginal cost = 0.625. Therefore, the correct option is C. 0.625.
c. George's desired markup = 0.8824. Therefore, the correct option is D. 0.8824.
d. Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was LESS than his desired margin, raising the price was PROFITABLE.
Explanation:
a. Which of the following best approximates the price elasticity of demand?
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price ................ (1)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded = {(New quantity demanded – Old quantity demanded) / [(New quantity demanded + Old quantity demanded) / 2]} * 100 = {(7000 - 8000) / [(7000 + 8000) / 2]} * 100 = -13.3333333333333%
Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old price) / 2]} * 100 = {(9 - 8) / [(9 + 8) / 2]} * 100 = 11.7647058823529%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Price elasticity of demand = -13.3333333333333% / 11.7647058823529% = -1.13333333333333
Approximated to 4 decimal places, we have:
Price elasticity of demand = -1.1333
This implies that the best approximates the price elasticity of demand is -1.1333.
Therefore, the correct option is D. -1.1333.
b. Suppose George's marginal cost is $3 per shirt. Before the price change, George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately.
George's Initial price markup over marginal cost = (Initial selling price - marginal cost) / Initial selling price = ($8 - $3) / $8 = 0.625
Therefore, the correct option is C. 0.625.
c. George's desired markup is?
George's desired markup = 1 / Absolute value of price elasticity of demand BEFORE approximation to 4 decimal places = 1 / 1.13333333333333 = 0.88235294117647
Approximated to 4 decimal places, we have:
George's desired markup = 0.8824
Therefore, the correct option is D. 0.8824
d. Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was (LESS OR GREATER) than his desired margin, raising the price was (PROFITABLE OR NOT PROFITABLE).
George's Initial price markup over marginal cost = 0.625
George's desired markup = 0.8824
Therefore, we have:
Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was LESS than his desired margin, raising the price was PROFITABLE.
Air Destinations issues bonds due in 10 years with a stated interest rate of 11% and a face value of $500,000. Interest payments are made semi-annually. The market rate for this type of bond is 12%. Using present value tables, calculate the issue price of the bonds
Answer: $471,324.61
Explanation:
Price of a bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value at maturity
Coupon payments = 500,000 * 11% * 1/2 years = $27,500
Periodic yield = 12%/ 2 = 6% per semi annual period
Periods = 10 * 2 = 20 semi annual periods
Coupon payment is constant so it is an annuity.
Price of bond = Present value of annuity + Present value of face value at maturity
= (Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity, 6%, 20 years) + Face value / (1 + rate) ^ number of periods
= (27,500 * 11.4699) + 500,000 / (1 + 6%)²⁰
= $471,324.61
On January 1, 2021, Badger Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method. The inventory cost on this date was $101,600. The ending inventory, valued at year-end costs, and the relative cost index for each of the next three years is below:
Year-end Ending inventory at year-end costs Cost Index
2021 $131,040 1.05
2022 150,040 1.10
2023 160,320 1.20
In determining the inventory balance for Badger to report in its 12/31/2022 balance sheet: _____________-
a. An additional layer of $12,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
b. An additional layer of $24,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
c. An additional layer of $23,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
d. None of these answer choices are correct.
Answer:
a. An additional layer of $12,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory balance is given below:
2021 Base year cost is
= $131,040 ÷ 1.05
= $124,800
Additional layer is
= $124,800 - $101,600
= $23,200
2022 Base year cost is
= $150,040 ÷ 1.10
= $136,400
Additional layer is
= ($136,400 - $124,800 ) × 1.10
= $11,600 1.10
= $12,760
Therefore the first option is correct

Sports Corp has 11.7 million shares of common stock outstanding, 6.7 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 2.7 million bonds. If the common shares are selling for $26.7 per share, the preferred share are selling for $14.2 per share, and the bonds are selling for 96.83 percent of par, what would be the weight used for common stock in the computation of Sports's WACC
Answer: 10.34%
Explanation:
First calculate the value of the company's total capital:
= Common stock + Preferred stock + Debt
= (11,700,000 * 26.70) + (6,700,000 * 14.20) + (2,700,000 * 96.83/100 * 1,000 par value)
= $3,021,940,000
The weight to be used for common stock is:
= Common stock value / Total capital value
= (11,700,000 * 26.70) / 3,021,940,000
= 312,390,000 / 3,021,940,000
= 10.34%

A company has two segments with total sales of $500,000 and total variable costs of $343,750. Traceable fixed expenses are $50,000 and common fixed expenses are $80,000. The break even in dollars for the company as a whole equals $ _______. (Enter your answer as a whole number.)
Answer:
$416,000
Explanation:
The computation of the break even in dollars for the company is given below:
Total fixed expenses = Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses
= $50,000 + $80,000
= $130,000
Now
Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable costs) ÷Sales × 100
= ($500,000 - $343,750) ÷ $500,000 × 100
= 31.25%
Now
Break-eve dollars = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $130,000 ÷ 31.25%
= $416,000

The board of commissioners of the City of Hartmoore adopts a general fund budget for the year ending June 30, 2020. It includes revenues of $1,530,000, bond proceeds of $402,500, appropriations of $1,100,000, and operating transfers out of $502,500. If this budget is formally integrated into the accounting records, what journal entry is required at the beginning of the year? What later entry is required?
Solution :
Estimated revenues = $1,530,000
Other financing sources - bond proceeds = $402,500
Appropriations = $1,100,000
Est other fin uses = $502,500
Budgetary fund balance = $195,000
Appropriations = $1,100,000
Est other fin uses = $502,500
Budgetary fund balance = $195,000
Est Rev = $1,530,000
Other fin sources bond proceeds = $402,500
This may also be asked as "Why are you looking for a job?" This question can make the most seasoned interviewee squirm a little because of the first word; why. A question starting with "why" immediately places you on the defensive.
Answer:
Starting a question in a job interview with the word "why" can be a little intimidating and put even a more experienced interviewee on the defensive because communication has been established directly, which occurs when the sender conveys the main message of clearly and objectively, and when it is asked in the form of a question, such as in a job interview, this can generate increased expectations and consequently put a candidate on the defensive, which can make the interviewer not able to actually capture the real motivation of the candidate in the interview.
In order for a job interview to be effective, and for the best candidate to be selected for the job vacancy, it is necessary that it be carried out indirectly, with the interviewer being cordial and not intimidating, gaining the candidate's trust and the make you feel comfortable and safe to share your professional experiences and demonstrate your personality more spontaneously.
Given the following information, determine the cost of goods sold at December 31 using the LIFO periodic inventory method:
December 2: 5 units were purchased at $7 per unit.
December 9: 10 units were purchased at $9.40 per unit.
December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
a. $51.75
b. $94.00
c. $50.75
d. $83.22
e. $41.30
Answer:
COGS= $297
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
December 2: 5 units were purchased at $7 per unit.
December 9: 10 units were purchased at $9.40 per unit.
December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Number of units sold= 12 + 18= 30
Now, under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 20*10.15 + 10*9.4
COGS= $297

Two national companies both sell a variety of soaps and lotions. When looking at the balance sheets, one company lists goodwill as an asset, but the other company does not. What does this tell you about these companies
Answer: A. The first company purchased an entire business to expand the company, whereas the second company likely has not yet purchased another entire business.
Explanation:
Goodwill is the value over a company's net value that it is purchased for. For instance, if a company is worth $15,000 but was purchased for $20,000, $5,000 is the goodwill.
A company only expresses goodwill in its books when it has purchased another company for more than the company's value and when the balance sheets of the purchaser and the purchased were consolidated, the goodwill is therefore shown.
If the first company has goodwill as an asset then it means that it has purchased a company before unlike the second company which has not purchased any company as of yet.

1. BSS purchased additional inventory twice during 2019. The first purchase consisted of 1,600 staplers that cost $21 each, and the second consisted of 2,400 staplers that cost $25 each. The purchases were on account.
2. The company sold 4,220 staplers for cash at a selling price of $45 each.
Required: Determine the ending inventory and cost of goods sold using the three different cost flow assumptions: FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average.
Answer:
Bold Stapler Sales Company (BSS)
FIFO LIFO Weighted Average
Ending inventory $4,500 $3,240 $4,122
Cost of goods sold $96,300 $97,560 $96,678
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning balances in 2019:
Cash $80,000
Inventory $7,200
Common stock $2,000
Retained earnings $2,000
Description Units Unit Cost Total
Beginning inventory 400 $18 $7,200
The first purchase 1,600 $21 33,600
The second purchase 2,400 $25 60,000
Goods available 4,400 $100,800
Sales of units (4,220) $45 $189,900
Ending inventory 180
FIFO:
Ending inventory = $4,500 ($25 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $96,300 ($100,800 - $4,500)
LIFO:
Ending inventory = $3,240 ($18 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $97,560 ($100,800 - $3,240)
Weighted Average:
Weighted average cost per unit = $22.91 ($100,800/4,400)
Ending inventory = $4,122 (22.91 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $96,678 ($100,800 - $4,122)

Supply is more elastic over long periods than over short periods because:_____.
a. producers can make more adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
b. consumers can make fewer adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
c. producers can make fewer adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
d. consumers can make more adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.
Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
The short run is a period where all factors of production are fixed. In the short run, a firm would continue to produce if price is above average variable cost. If this is not the case, it would shut down
The long run is a period where all factors of production are varied. It is known as the planning time for a company
Supply is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because the producer can make adjustments in the long run
