Job 412 was one of the many jobs started and completed during the year. The job required $9,500 in direct materials and 35 hours of direct labor time at a total direct labor cost of $10,400. If the job contained four units and the company billed at 70% above the unit product cost on the job cost sheet, what price per unit would have been charged to the customer
Answer:
The appropriate answer is "$8,457,50".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Direct material cost,
= $9,500
Direct labor cost,
= $10,400
Units completed in job 412,
= 4
Now,
The total cost for completion of job 412 will be:
= [tex]Direct \ materials \ cost + Direct \ labor \ costs[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]9,500 + 10,400[/tex]
= [tex]19,900[/tex] ($)
Unit produced cost will be:
= [tex]\frac{19,900}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]4,975[/tex] ($)
70% of unit produced cost will be the profit margin, then
= [tex]70 \ percent\times 4,975[/tex]
= [tex]3,482.50[/tex] ($)
hence,
The price charged to the customer will be:
= [tex]Unit \ product \ cost + Profit \ margin[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]4,975 + 3,482.50[/tex]
= [tex]8,457,50[/tex] ($)
In the current year, Jeanette, an individual in the 24% marginal tax bracket, recognized a $20,000 long-term capital gain. Also in the current year, Parrot Corporation, a calendar year C corporation, recognized a $20,000 long-term capital gain. Neither taxpayer had any other property transactions in the year. What tax rates are applicable to these capital gains
Answer:
Capital gains tax rate applicable to Jeanette
Capital gains tax rate applicable to Parrot Corporation
Explanation:
Jeanette's capital gains tax liability = $20,000 x 15% = $3,000
Parrot Corporation's capital gains tax liability = $20,000 x 21% = $4,200
Corporations pay the same tax rate for ordinary income or for capital gains, but individuals have different tax rates.
Sunland Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2022, at a cost of $80,360. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $7,910. The machine is expected to be used for 70,800 working hours during its 7-year life. Compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method for 2022 and 2023, assuming a December 31 year-end.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $80,360
Salvage value= $7,910
Useful life= 7 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (80,360 - 7,910) / 7
Annual depreciation= $10,350
2022:
Annual depreciation= (10,350/12)*2= $1,725
2023:
Annual depreciation= $10,350

Maui Resort Inc. determined that the balance in its deferred tax asset account on December 31, 2020, was $50,000. Management reviewed all available positive and negative evidence to estimate that 30% of the deferred tax asset was more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has a December 31, 2020, unadjusted balance of $4,000 (credit).
Required:
Record the entry to adjust the allowance on December 31, 2020.
Answer:
Maui Resort Inc.
Journal Entry:
December 31, 2020:
Debit Loss from Unrealizable DTA $31,000
Credit Allowance for Unrealizable DTA $31,000
To record the loss from unrealizable DTA and increase the balance to $35,000 (credit).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31, 2020 Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) = $50,000
Estimate of realizable DTA = 30% of $50,000 = $15,000
Allowance for unrealizable DTA for 2020 = 70% of $50,000 = $35,000
Loss from unrealizable DTA = $31,000 ($35,000 - $5,000)
b) Like the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, the DTA Valuation Allowance is a contra-account to the Deferred Tax asset Account. It shows the amount of the deferred tax asset with a more than 50% probability of being lost or unutilized in the future as a result of the non-availability of sufficient future taxable income.
Adkins Bakery uses the modified half-month convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or sold. Adkins has a calendar year accounting period and uses the straight-line method to compute depreciation expense. On March 17, 2018, Adkins acquired equipment at a cost of $220,000. The equipment has a residual value of $43,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. What amount of depreciation expense will be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2018
Answer:
Depreciation expense= $36,875
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 220,000
Residual value = 43,000
Estimated useful life = 4 years
Annual depreciation = (220,000- 43,000)/4 =44,250
Annual depreciation = 44,250.
Under the half-month convention, a full month depreciation is charged where an asset is first put to at the middle month of the month.
Thus March 17, 2018 to December 2018 is taken to be 10 full months
Depreciation expense = 44,250.× 10/12 = 36,875
Depreciation expense= $36,875
Grouper Inc. has completed the purchase of new Dell computers. The fair value of the equipment is $675,803. The purchase agreement specifies an immediate down payment of $164,000 and semiannual payments of $63,101 beginning at the end of 6 months for 5 years. What is the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction?
Answer:
The interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction 8%.
Explanation:
The interest rate can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
Interest rate = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type)*n .............(1)
Where;
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannual in a year = 5 * 2 = 10
pmt = semiannual payments = $63,101 = 63101
pv = present value = fair value balance = fair value - immediate down payment = $675,803 - $164,000 = $511,803 = 511803
fv = future value = desired cash balance after last payment = 0
type = when payments are due (0 = end of period. 1 = beginning of period) = 0
n = number of compounding period per year = number of semiannual in a year = 2
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest rate = RATE(10,63101,-511803,0,0)*2 .................. (2)
Inputting =RATE(10,63101,-511803,0,0)*2 into an excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the Interest rate is obtained as 8.00%.
Therefore, the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction 8%.
Jake's Sound Systems has 210,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $36 a share. Last month, Jake's paid an annual dividend in the amount of $1.593 per share. The dividend growth rate is 4%. Jake's also has 6,000 bonds outstanding with a face value of $1,000 per bond. The bonds carry a 7% coupon, pay interest annually, and mature in 4.89 years. The bonds are selling at 99% of face value. The company's tax rate is 34%. What is Jake's weighted average cost of capital
Answer:
WACC = 6.92%
Explanation:
total equity = 210,000 x $36 = $7,560,000,weight of equity = 56%
cost of equity:
36 = 1.65672 / (Re - 4%)
Re = 8.602%
total bonds = $5,940,000, weight of bonds = 44%
bond YTM = 7.24%
after tax cost = 7.24% x 66% = 4.78%
WACC = (.56 x 8.602$) + (.44 x 4.78%) = 4.817 + 2.103 = 6.92%
YTM = (70 + 10/4.89) / (1990/2) = 72.04 / 995 = 7.24%

Raspberry Company's actuary has computed its prior service cost to be $8,000,000. Raspberry amortizes the prior service cost by the straight-line method over the remaining 20-year service life of its active employees. During the current year, Raspberry also recognizes service cost of $560,000 and interest cost of $100,000. At the beginning of the year, the plan assets were $1,500,000, and the company expects to earn 10% on its plan assets. Compute Raspberry's pension expense for the current year.
Answer: $910,000
Explanation:
Pension expense is calculated by the formula:
= Prior Service cost for the year+ Service cost + Interest cost - Expected return on plant assets
Prior Service cost = Prior service cost / Service life of active employees
= 8,000,000 / 20
= $400,000
Expected return on plan assets = Plan assets * Interest rate
= 1,500,000 * 10%
= $150,000
Pension expense = 400,000 + 560,000 + 100,000 - 150,000
= $910,000

What do you mean by recession?When there is a general fall in economic activity, there is a recession, which is a contraction of the business cycle in economics. Recessions typically start when consumer spending falls dramatically across the board.
Recessions are defined as severe, widespread, and sustained declines in economic activity. Although it is generally accepted that two successive quarters of minus the gross domestic product (GDP) development indicate a recession, many people use more sophisticated metrics to determine if the economy is in a downturn.
Less money is moving around in the business as well as the stock market falls during a recession. Due to the uncertainties brought on by growing inflation, novice investors will dump their equities. People start to leave the stock market in search of more money and security, which drives down share values even more.

Neville is a lawyer at a large law firm where he earns a salary of $170,000 per year. He is thinking of leaving the firm to set up his own law office. To do this, he would need to invest $140,000 of his savings, which currently earns 5% in interest each year. He estimates that if he starts a law office, his annual revenue will be $510,000, and his explicit financial costs will be $300,000. How much would Neville earn in economic profits or losses if he starts his own law office
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Accounting profit = $510,000 - $300,000 = $210,000
Implicit costs = amount he would forgo as salary in the large law firm and interest he would lose on his investment
Interest he would lose on his investment = 0.05 x 140,000 = $7000
Implicit cost = $170,000 + $7000 = $177,000
Economic profit = $210,000 - $177,000 = $33,000

Factory foremen salaries = $86,000
Factory foremen salaries Machine hours = 18,850
Machine Hours for car seats = 5,450
Therefore, the factory foremen salaries allocated to car Seats during the current month will be:
= (86000 / 18850) × 5450
= $24865

It will means extra cost of training and supervision.
Hiring process is a process that requires careful and thorough observation from the hiring company.
Efforts are made to ensure the right people are recruited into the system to maintain standard of quality produced by the organisationWrong recruitment of staff could prove costly to an organisation as output will be affected.Selection process is basically the process of choosing numbers of qualified applicant among the rest.Poor selection process happens when the effort to filter qualified applicant among the applicants for the job was unsuccesful
In conclusion, this poor quality of selection will lead to having a pool of both unqualified and qualified applicant which will result to extra cost on Training and Supervision.

(Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Fortune, Inc.
Budgeted Income Statement for the first quarter ended March 31
Sales revenue $3,750,000
Cost of goods sold 1,800,000
Gross profit $1,950,000
Expenses:
Commission 375,000
Advertising 412,500
Office salaries 222,000
Depreciation 165,000
Interest expense 10,075
Total expenses $1,184,575
Net income $765,425
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit = $25
Forecast sales units:
January 40,000
February 60,000
March 50,000
Total sales for the quarter = 150,000 units
Sales revenue = $3,750,000 (150,000 * $25)
Cost of goods sold = $12 per unit
Cost of goods sold = $1,800,000 (150,000 * $12)
Commission = 10% of sales dollars
Commission = $375,000 ($3,750,000 * 10%)
Rent = $17,000 per month (Total for quarter = $51,000)
Advertising = 11% of sales dollars
Advertising = $412,500 ($3,750,000 * 11%)
Office salaries = $74,000 per month (Total for quarter = $222,000)
Depreciation = $55,000 per month (Total for quarter = $165,000
Interest expense = 13% of $310,000 annually
Interest expense for the quarter = $10,075 ($310,000 * 13% * 1/4)
Two law firms in a community handle all the cases dealing with consumer suits against companies in the area. The Abercrombie firm takes 40% of all suits, and the Olson firm handles the other 60%. The Abercrombie firm wins 70% of its cases, and the Olson firm wins 60% of its cases.
a. Develop a probability tree showing all marginal, conditional, and joint probabilities.
b. Develop a joint probability table.
c. Using Bayes’ rule, determine the probability that the Olson firm handled a particular case, given that the case was won.

Joint Probability Table
Firms Success Failure
Abercrombie 0.28 0.12
Oslon 0.36 0.24
Part C : P (O/S) =0.5625
Explanation:
The probability tree can be drawn as follows
Part A:
║⇒⇒P (A) = 0.4⇒⇒⇒⇒║⇒⇒⇒⇒P (S/A)= 0.7⇒⇒⇒⇒ P (A∩S)= 0.28
║ ║
║ ║⇒⇒⇒⇒ P (F/A)= 0.3⇒⇒⇒ P (A∩F)= 0.12
║
║⇒⇒⇒P (O)= 0.6⇒⇒⇒⇒║⇒⇒⇒⇒P (S/O)= 0.6⇒⇒ P (O∩S)= 0.36
║
║⇒⇒⇒P (F/O)= 0.4⇒⇒ P (O∩F)= 0.24
The marginal Probability of the two firms
P (A)= 0.4
P (O)= 0.6
Where P (A) is the probability of Abercrombie firm
P (O) is the probability of Olson firm
The conditional probabilities are given by
P (S/A)= 0.7
P (F/A)= 0.3
Where P (S/A) is the conditional probability of Success of Abercrombie firm
P (F/A) is the conditional probability of failure of Abercrombie firm
Similarly
P (S/O)= 0.6
P (F/O)= 0.4
P (S/O) is the conditional probability of Success of Oslon firm
P (F/O) is the conditional probability of failure of Oslon firm
The probability table is given by
Firms Marginal Conditional Joint
Abercrombie 0.4 0.7 0.28
0.3 0.12
Oslon 0.6 0.6 0.36
0.4 0.24
Joint Probability Table
Firms Success Failure
Abercrombie 0.28 0.12
Oslon 0.36 0.24
Part C :
Using Bayes Rule:
P (O/S) = P ( O) P( S/O)/ P ( O) P( S/O)+ P (A) P(S/ A)
= 0.6*0.6/ 0.6*0.6+0.4*0.7
=0.36/ 0.36+0.28
=0.5625
