Answer:
1. $60,000
2. $30,000
3. $20,000
Explanation:
1. How much of the raw materials cost would be added to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period?
The amount to add add to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period is the direct material used calculated as follows:
Direct raw materials used = Materials requisition 1445 For Job 101 + Materials requisition 1446 For Job 102 = $25,000 + $35,000 = $60,000
2. How much of the raw materials costs would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account?
Manufacturing overhead refers to all indirect costs that are incurred during the production process. Therefore, the raw materials costs that would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account is the indirect materials used on multiple jobs.
Therefore, we have:
Amount to add to the Manufacturing Overhead account = Indirect materials used = $30,000
3. Compute the ending balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account.
Ending raw materials balance = Beginning raw materials + Purchases of raw materials - Direct raw materials used - Indirect materials used = $20,000 + $90,000 - $60,00 - $30,000 = $20,000

Answer:
$14.9217.1%3.6%4.7$67Explanation:
1. Earnings per share = net income / average shares outstanding = $193,900 / 13,000 stocks = $14.92
2. Dividend payout ratio = total dividends / net income = ($2.55 x 13,000) / $193,900 = $33,150 / $193,900 = 17.1%
3. Dividend yield ratio = dividend per share / market price per share = $2.55 / $70 = 3.6%
4. Price-earnings ratio = price per share / earnings per share = $70 / $14.92 = 4.7
5. Book value per share = (stockholders' equity - preferred stocks) / total number of stocks outstanding = $871,000 / 13,000 = $67
The residents of Alaska and people throughout the world were outraged when the Exxon Valdez crashed into a shoal and dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. People were upset with Exxon's response to the disaster. The company was slow to admit its mistake and even slower to implement cleanup activities. Exxon was criticized for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society. In short, Exxon did not demonstrate:___________.
1. Social responsibility
2. Value conciousness
3. Gray marketing
4. Profit responsibility
5. Transactional marketing
Answer:
1. Social responsibility.
Explanation:
Social responsibility is an ethical principle or business practice that supports, that individuals or business entities are required to fulfil civic duties, such as welfare, charity, etc. for the benefit of the society at large.
Simply stated, it incorporates sustainable societal development into business models. A company's social responsibility involves the process of creating a balance between economic growth, societal welfare and largely it's environment.
In this scenario, Exxon was slow to own up to it's error and even slower in implementing cleanup activities of the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Sequel to this, it was criticized by the residents of Alaska and others around the world for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society.
Hence, Exxon did not demonstrate social responsibility.
Kenrick Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. In the first stage, the activity-based costing system allocates two overhead accounts equipment expense and indirect labor to three activity cost pools Processing, Supervising and Other based on resource consumption. Data to perform these allocations appear below.
Overhead costs
Equipment expense $18,000
Indirect labor $2,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption Across activity cost pools
Activity Cost Pools
Processing Supervising Other
Equipment expense 0.10 0.30 0.60
Indirect labor 0.30 0.40 0.30
In the second stage. Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products as follows.
Activity
MHs (Processing) Batches (Supervising)
Product U4 5,500 600
Product C7 4,500 1,400
Total 10,000 2,000
Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.
Sales and Direct Cost Data:
Product U4 Product C7
Sales (total) $58,400 $31,800
Direct materials (total) $26,900 $13,900
Direct labor (total) $25,000 $11,200

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs.
Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process.
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process.
During November, the company transferred 800,000 units of product to finished goods.
At the end of November, the work in process inventory consists of 187,000 units that are 60% complete with respect to conversion.
Beginning inventory had $192,465 of direct materials and $159,635 of conversion cost.
The direct material cost added in November is $1,288,035 and the conversion cost added is $3,033,065.
Beginning work in process consisted of 74,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion.
Of the units completed, 74,000 were from beginning work in process and 726,000 units were started and completed during the period.
Required:1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials.2. Compute both the direct labor cost and the direct materials cost per equivalent unit. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)3. Compute both direct labor cost and direct materials cost assigned to units completed and transferred out and ending goods in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. Direct Materials = 987,000 units , Direct Labor = 912,200 units
2.Direct Materials = $1.50 , Direct Labor = $3.50
3.
Units Completed and Transferred Costs
Direct Materials = $ 1,200,000
Direct Labor = $ 2,800,000
Ending goods in process inventory cost
Direct Materials = $ 280,500
Direct Labor = $ 392,700
Explanation:
First step is to determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials
Direct Materials
Note : Materials are added at beginning of the process hence, they are 100 % complete for both units categories
Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) = 800,000
Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 100%) = 187,000
Equivalent units of production = 987,000
Direct Labor
Note : Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process, hence we need to establish units to the extent of work done.
Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) = 800,000
Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 60%) = 112,200
Equivalent units of production = 912,200
The next step is to Calculate the Total Cost of Production with respect to direct labor and direct materials incurred during the period.
Direct Materials
Cost in Opening Work In Process = $192,465
Cost added during the period = $1,288,035
Total Costs = $1,480,500
Conversion
Cost in Opening Work In Process = $159,635
Cost added during the period = $3,033,065
Total Costs = $3,192,700
Then use the above data to calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct labor and direct materials.
Cost per equivalent unit. = Total Cost / Total Equivalent units
Direct Materials = $1,480,500 / 987,000 = $1.50
Direct Labor = $3,192,700 / 912,200 = $3.50
CONCLUSION :
Units Completed and Transferred Costs
Direct Materials = (800,000 × $1.50) = $ 1,200,000
Direct Labor = (800,000 × $3.50) = $ 2,800,000
Ending goods in process inventory cost
Direct Materials = (187,000 × $1.50) = $ 280,500
Direct Labor = (112,200 × $3.50) = $ 392,700
You work for a company that ends their fiscal year on September 30th. The company billed its customers for services provided in August, but they have not yet received payment for these services. Assuming the company uses accrual accounting, how should this transaction be recorded
Answer:
Debit Accounts receivable
Credit Service Revenue
Being entries for services rendered to customers in August
Explanation:
Under accrual accounting, revenue is recognized once it is earned which is when the goods or services have been delivered to the customers such that the risk and reward or control of the goods/services now lies with the customer.
This is different from the cash basis of accounting where revenue is only recognized when cash has been received.
In accrual accounting, When revenue is earned but cash is yet to be received,
Debit Accounts receivable
Credit Revenue account
On receipt of cash,
Debit Cash account
Credit Accounts receivable.

What is your yield to maturity if you buy this bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
4.93%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to maturity we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $1,046.487
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 5.524% ÷ 2 = $27.62
NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years
The 10 years is come from
= May 2029 - May 2019
= 10 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
The yield to maturity is
= 2.46% × 2
= 4.93%
Frank Barlowe is retiring soon, so he is concerned about his investments providing him with a steady income every year. He is aware that if interest rates , the potential earnings power of the cash flow from his investments will increase. In particular, he is concerned that a decline in interest rates might lead to annual income from his investments. What kind of risk is Frank most concerned about protecting against? Reinvestment rate risk Interest rate risk
Answer:
Increase
less
A) Reinvestment rate risk.
Explanation:
Reinvestment rate risk is demonstrated as the type of financial risk in which the investor is concerned about his investment getting canceled or stopped in the future and the other party/place might not be able to provide a similar rate of return.
In the given situation, Frank Barlowe is concerned about reinvestment risk. He is aware that he will earn a steady income from his investments as he knows that when the interest rates increase, his potential returns would increase and vice versa. But since he is retiring, he has a potential concern that if the investment gets abandoned somehow, he might not be able to reinvest his amount at the same rate and will not be able to continue with steady returns. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Time Remaining 39 minutes 48 seconds00:39:48 eBookItem 1Item 1 Time Remaining 39 minutes 48 seconds00:39:48 A private, not-for-profit hospital received contributions of $50,000 from donors on June 15, 20X9. The donors stipulated that their contributions be used to purchase equipment for the hospital. As of June 30, 20X9, the end of the hospital's fiscal year, $12,000 of the contributions had been spent on equipment acquisitions. In the hospital's general fund, what account would be credited to recognize the release of the restrictions on the temporarily restricted contributions used to acquire equipment
Answer: Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction.
Explanation:
When the stipulations by a donor have been satisfied, the assets involved can be removed from being restricted to now being unrestricted. The account credited to recognize this is known as the Net assets released from *asset name* acquisition restriction.
In the above case, the company purchased some equipment with the money they were donated which means that the equipment had satisfied the stipulation for which they were donated funds for. The Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction thus needs to be credited.

company's perpetual preferred stock currently sells for $92.50 per share, and it pays an $8.00 annual dividend. If the company were to sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 5.00% of the issue price. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock? Note: when flotation costs are given as a percentage instead of in dollar terms, the denominator in the formula changes from (P-F) to P*(1-F). Hint: remember that for preferred stock the growth rate of the dividend is zero.
Answer:
The firm's cost of preferred stock is 9.10%
Explanation:
The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)
The dividend per year is $8
The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)
where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%
adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88
Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100 = 9.10%

Identify a true statement about the per-unit expenditure method of determining advertising budget. It bases its advertising budgets on those of competitors or other members of the industry. It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base. It sets the advertising budget as a predetermined share of profits or financial resources. It involves arguing for and presenting the advertising budget on the basis of research findings.
Answer: It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base.
Explanation:
The Per-unit expenditure approach to advertising sets the retail price based on the production cost. This means that the amount to be set for advertising is based on a fixed amount that is determined by how many units of a good the company expects to sell so that the advertising is based on how much it spent in production.

Option A costs an initial $2 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $5 per bottle of spirits. Option B costs an initial $4 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $3 per bottle of spirits. Assuming an annual capital charge equal to 10 percent of the initial costs, what is the average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility
Answer: 20
Explanation:
Total cost of Option B = 4 billion
Total fixed cost = 10% of 4 billion
= 10/100 × 4,000,000,000
= 0.1 × 4,000,000,000
= 400,000,000
The average fixed cost is the total cost divided by the total number of output that is given. In this case, this can be calculated as:
= 400,000,000/20,000,000
= 20
The average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility will be 20.
Brief Exercise 233 Kinney Company purchased a truck for $66,000. The company expected the truck to last four years or 100,000 miles, with an estimated residual value of $8,000 at the end of that time. During the second year the truck was driven 27,000 miles. Compute the depreciation for the second year under each of the methods below and place your answers in the blanks provided.Units-of-activity $_________
Double-declining-balance $_________
Answer:
$15,660
$16,500
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1 / useful life)
2 x (1 / 4 ) = 0.5
The depreciation expense in the first year = 0.5 x $66,000 = $33,000
Book value = $66,000 - $33,000 = $33,000
The depreciation expense in the second year = 0.5 x $33,000 = $16,500
The Units of production method = (miles driven in the second year / estimated total miles that can be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(27,000 / 100,000) × ($66,000 - $8,000)
= 0.27 x $58,000 = $15,660

Answer: a. 11.5%
Explanation:
Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.
Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)
Er = Expected return
Rf = Risk Free Rate
b = Beta
Rm = Market Return.
The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,
= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)
= 12.4%
With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.
There are 100 used laptop g for sale on the market. 40% of them are in good condition, and the rest of them are broken, which is the common knowledge to the owners and the buyers. Owners of broken laptops are willing to sell them for $300. Owners of good used laptops are willing to sell them if the price is above $1600 but will keep them if the price is lower than $1600. There is a large number of potential buyers who are willing to pay $2000 for a good laptop and $600 for a broken laptop. Buyers can't tell good laptops from bad, but original owners know. In equilibrium, what could be the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold
Answer:
In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
It is given that 40% laptops are in good condition. This implies that 60% are in bad condition.
In ordert to calculate the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold we would have to calculate the expected price that the buyers will be willing to pay for a laptop as follows:
Expected price=0.60($2000)+0.40($600)
Expected price=$1,200+$240
Expected price=$1,440
As the owners of good laptops are willing to sell their laptops for $1,800, whis is more that $1,440, they will not sell their products.
This implies that only bad laptops are sold in the market. The willingless to pay for the bad laptops is $600
Therefore, In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600

How is each of the following likely to be affected by a recession:
a. the natural unemployment rate.
b. the cyclical unemployment rate.
c. the inflation rate.
d. the poll ratings of the president
Each of the following likely to be affected by a recession is the cyclical unemployment rate. The correct option is b.
What is a recession?The term "recession" is used in economics to describe the economic downturn brought on by a reduction in supply or demand. The production, employment, and income of domestic economies generally diminish, which in turn results in additional drops in demand and investment, lengthening the recessive process.
Because of this, when demand or production falls, the recession tends to last longer, deepen, and speed up, signaling that the affected nation's domestic economy will be in decline.
A recession is a time in the economy when growth is generally slow, yet inflation is also high. It is crucial that market forces operate independently, without interference from the government, in order to prevent a recession.
Therefore, the correct option is b. the cyclical unemployment rate.

A company is investing in a solar panel system to reduce its electricity costs. The system requires a cash payment of $125,374.60 today. The system is expected to generate net cash flows of $13,000 per year for the next 35 years. The investment has zero salvage value. QS 24-15 Net present value LO P3 The company requires an 8% return on its investments. 1-a. Compute the net present value of this investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your present value factor to 4 decimals.) 1-b. Should the project be accepted?
Answer:
NPV is positive,the project should be accepted
Explanation:
In determining whether or not the project should be accepted ,we need to ascertain the Net Present value of the project which is present value of cash inflows of $13,000 for 35 years minus the initial investment of $125,374.60 committed today.
The annuity factor for 8% for 35 year horizon is 11.6546 using annuity table.
Present of cash inflow=cash inflow*annuity factor=$13,000*11.6546=$151,509.80
Net present value=$ 151,509.80-$125,374.60=$ 26,135.20
The investment has a positive NPV,hence should be accepted

2) Direct materials $ 75,000 $ 56,000
3) Direct manufacturing labour 275,000 209,000
Direct manufacturing labour is paid at the rate of $25 per hour
Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated at a budgeted rate of $22 per direct manufacturing labour-hour
1. Direct labor rate = $25 per hour
Direct labor hours used on Job M1 = Direct manufacturing labor ÷ Direct labor rate
= 275,000 ÷ 25
= $ 11,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M1 = Direct labor hours used on Job M1 x 22
= $11,000 x 22
= $242,000
Job cost sheet (Job M1)
Direct material = $75,000
Direct labor = $275,000
Overhead applied = $242,000
Total cost = $592,000
2. Cost per unit = Total cost ÷ Number of units
= 592,000 ÷ 1,600
= $370
3. Journal
Finished goods inventory 592,000
Work in process inventory 592,000

= 209,000 ÷ 25
= $8,360
Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M2 = Direct labor hours used on Job M2 x 22
= $8,360 x 22
= $183,920
Job cost sheet (Job M2)
Direct material = $56,000

Betty contributed land with a $6,000 basis and a $10,000 FMV to the ABC Partnership in Year 1. In Year 2, the land was distributed to Sally, another partner in the partnership. At the time of the distribution, the land had a $12,000 fair market value, and Sally had a $30,000 basis for her partnership interest. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution? What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
Answer:
a. Gain recognized by Betty on the distribution is $4,000.
b. Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.
Explanation:
a. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution?
When an asset contributed by a partner to a partnership is distributed, the gain or loss to be recognized by the partner that contributed the asset is the difference between the fair market value (FMV) and the basis of the asset. Therefore, we have:
Gain recognized by Betty = FMV of the land - Basis of the land = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000
b. What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
When an asset of partnership is distributed to another partner in a partnership, the partner's basis for the distributed asset is the FMV of the distributed asset.
Since the FMV of the land contributed by Bettt but now distributed to Sally is $10,000, Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.
You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $100, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $120 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $80. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%.Based upon your assumptions, calculate your estimate of the the call option's value using the two-state stock price model.
Answer:
$13.64
Explanation:
Given:
Exercise price,X = $100
Current price = $100
Value when price is up, uS = $120
Value when price is down, dS= $80
Risk free interest rate = 10%
First calculate hedge ratio, H:
[tex] H = \frac{C_u - C_d}{uS - dS} [/tex]
Where,
Cu = uS - X
= 120 - 100
= $20
[tex] H = \frac{20 - 0}{120 - 80} = \ftac{1}{2}[/tex]
A risk free portfolio involves one share and two call options.
Find cost of portfolio:
Cost of portfolio = Cost of stock - Cost of the two cells.
= $100 - 2C
This portfolio is risk free. The table below shows that
_______________
Portforlio 1:
Buy 1 share $80; Write 2 calls: $0; Total: ($80 + 0) $80
____________________
Portforlio 2:
Buy 1 share: $120; Write 2 calls: -$40; Total: ($120 - $40) $80
Check for oresent value of the portfolio:
Present value [tex] = \frac{80}{1 + 0.10} = 72.73 [/tex]
Value = exercise price - value of option
$72.73 = $100 - 2C
Find call option, C
[tex] C = \frac{100 - 72.73}{2} = 13.64 [/tex]
Call option's value = $13.64
On January 1 of the current year, Jimmy's Sandwich Company, Inc. reported stockholders' equity totaling $122,500. During the current year, total revenues were $96,000 while total expenses were $85,500. Also, during the current year the business paid $20,000 to the stockholders. No other changes in equity occurred during the year. If, on December 31 of the current year, total assets are $196,000, the change in stockholders' equity during the year was:
Answer:
The multiple choices are:
A decrease of $9,500.
An increase of $9,500.
An increase of $30,500.
A decrease of $30,500.
An increase of 73,500.
The correct option is a decrease of $9,500
Explanation:
The changes in stockholders' equity is in the form of the difference between inflow to stockholders and outflow to stockholders.
Inflow to stockholders is the earnings attributable to them in form of net income while outflow is the dividends paid to them.
net income=revenues-expenses=$96,000-$85,500=$10,500
Dividends were paid to the tune of $20,000
change in stockholders' equity=$10,500-$20,000=-$9,500
In essence ,the opening balance of stockholders' equity went down by $9,500 since the net income generated of $10,500 was not enough to fund dividend payment
