Explanation:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain
The tax treatment of Kim's deduction if she was an independent contractor will be:
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
Therefore, the tax treatment of Kim's deduction still remains the same.
rdan Corporation expects to incur indirect overhead costs of $172,550 per month and direct manufacturing costs of $18 per unit. The expected production activity for the first four months of the year are as follows. January February March April Estimated production in units 5,300 7,300 4,800 6,400 Required Calculate a predetermined overhead rate based on the number of units of product expected to be made during the first four months of the year. Allocate overhead costs to each month using the overhead rate computed in Requirement a. Calculate the total cost per unit for each month using the overhead allocated in Requirement b.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total estimated overhead costs= (172,550*4)= $690,200
Total estimated units= 23,800
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= 690,200 / 23,800
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $29 per unit
Now, we can allocate overhead to each month:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
January= 29*5,300= $153,700
February= 7,300*29= $211,700
March= 29*4,800= $139,200
April= 29*6,400= $185,600
Finally, the unitary total cost:
Unitary cost= 18 + 29= $47

Producer surplus is best defined as _________________. Select the correct answer below: the profit of producers when they make more goods than are demanded the profit of producers when there are too many producers for a certain demand in a market the profit that producers make above the cost of production the intangible profits producers make in addition to the goods they sell
Answer:
the profit that producers make above the cost of production.
Explanation:
Producer surplus is best defined as the profit that producers make above the cost of production.
Basically, it is the total amount of money that a particular producer of goods and services benefits (gains) from selling at the market price.
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
location analysis has been narrowed down to two locations, Akron and Boston. The main factors in the decision will be the supply of raw materials, which has a weight of 0.50, transportation cost, which has a weight of 0.40, and labor cost, which has a weight of 0.10. The scores for raw materials, transportation, and labor are for Akron 60, 80, and 70, respectively; for Boston 70, 50, and 90, respectively. Given this information and a minimum acceptable composite score of 75, we can say that the manager should:____.
a. build a plant in both cities.
b. be indifferent between these locations.
c. choose Boston.
d. choose Akron.
e. reject both locations.
Answer:
e. reject both locations.
Explanation:
Akron's weighted score:
supply of raw materials = 0.5 x 60 = 30
transportation costs = 0.4 x 80 = 32
labor costs = 0.1 x 70 = 7
total composite score = 69
Boston's weighted score:
supply of raw materials = 0.5 x 70 = 35
transportation costs = 0.4 x 50 = 20
labor costs = 0.1 x 90 = 9
total composite score = 64

Using the average cost method, the amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 is
Answer:
the ending inventory is $1,734
Explanation:
The computation of the amount allocated to the ending inventory is shown below:
But before that the average per unit is
= Total amount ÷ total units
= $6,069 ÷ (153 + 204 + 204 + 153)
= $8.5
Since the ending inventory units is 204 units
So, the ending inventory is
= $8.5 ×204 units
= $1,734

You are considering a project in Honduras that would generate 1.5 million dollars in cash flows per year going forever. The cost of the project is 8 million dollars. The discount rate for the project is 12%. You believe that there is some probability of expropriation prior to the 4th year (after the 3rd cash flow). Which of the following fully describes when this is a good project?
a. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is larger than 0.33
b. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.33
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
d. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.66 7.
Answer:
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
Explanation:
initial outlay = $8,000,000
if no expropriation, NPV = -$8,000,000 + $1,500,000/0.12 = $4,500,000
if the risk of expropriation is 0.33:
NPV = $925,211
if the risk of expropriation is 0.5:
NPV = -$425,265
the breakeven risk = 44.6%

Jeanne Crawford had $10,675.50 deposited in an account paying 6.5% interest compounded semiannually.
a) What is the amount in her account 2 years later?
b) What is the compound Interest?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The amount in 2 years later is
As we know that
Amount = Principal × (1 + rate)^time period
= $10,675.50 × (1 + 6.5% ÷ 2)^2× 2
= $10,675.50 × (1 + 0.03125)^4
= $10,675.50 × 1.130982
= $12,073.80
b. Now the compound interest is
= Final Amount - principal amount
= $12,073.80 - $10,675.50
= $1,398.30

Pittman Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,110 per month plus $11 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 621 frames, but the actual level of activity was 611 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $8,250. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Spending variance for supplies = Standard cost - Actual cost
Standard cost formulae = $1,110 per month + $11 per frame
Standard cost for actual output = $1,110 + ($11 × 611)
= $1,110 + $6,721
= $7,831
But actual cost = $8,250
Therefore,
Spending variance would be
= $7,831 - $8,250
= $419 unfavourable
The spending variance for supplies cost in November is closest to $419 unfavourable

The following information describes production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year.
Actual direct materials used 31,000 1bs. at $5.80 per lb
Actual direct labor used 10,600 hours for a total of $217,300
Actual units produced . 63,000
Budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $5.75 per pound and 10 minutes $21.50 per hour.
AQ = Actual Quantity
SQ=Standard Quantity
AP =Actual Price
SP =Standard Price
AH =Actual Hours
SH= Standard Hours
AR= Actual Rate
SR= Standard Rate
(1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances
(2) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency varian rect labor rate and efficiency variances.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5.75 - 5.8)*31,000
Direct material price variance= $1,550 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (63,000*0.5 - 31,000)*5.75
Direct material quantity variance= $2,875 favorable
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (10,500 - 10,600)*21.5
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,150 unfavorable
Standard quantity= (10/60)*63,000= 10,500 hours
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (21.5 - 20.5)*10,600
Direct labor rate variance= $10,600 favorable
Actual rate= 217,300 / 10,600= $20.5
Financial information is presented below: Operating expenses $ 63000 Sales returns and allowances 2000 Sales discounts 5000 Sales revenue 156000 Cost of goods sold 104000 The amount of net sales on the income statement would be
Answer:
$149,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of net sales is shown below:
= Sales revenue - sales return & allowance - sales discount
= $156,000 - $2,000 - $5,000
= $149,000
We simply deduct the two items from the sales revenue so that the net sales revenue could be come and the same would be reported on the income statement
Phelps, Inc. had assets of $71,028, liabilities of $16,084, and 11,130 shares of outstanding common stock at December 31, 2017. Net income for 2017 was $8,236. The company had assets of $83,529, liabilities of $19,293, 10,897 shares of outstanding common stock, and its stock was trading at a price of $10 per share at December 31, 2018. Net income for 2018 was $10,114.
Required:
a. Calculate EPS for 2018.
b. Calculate ROE for 2018.
c. Calculate the Price/Earnings Ratio for 2018.
Answer:
a. Earning per share = Net income / Average no of shares outstanding
Average no of shares outstanding = (Beginning shares + Ending share)/2 = (11,130 + 10,897) / 2 = 11,013.5.
Earning per share = $10,114/11,013.5 shares = $0.9183
b. Return on equity = Net income / Average stockholders equity
Stockholders equity 2017 = $71,028-$16,084 = $54,944
Stockholders equity 2018 = $83,529-$19,293 = $64,236
Average Stockholders equity = ($54,944+$64,236)/2 = $59,590
Return on equity = $10,114/$59,590
Return on equity = 0.1697265
Return on equity = 16.97%
c. Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings per share
Price earnings ratio = $10/$0.9183
Price earnings ratio = 10.88968746596973
Price earnings ratio = 10.89

Purchase returns and allowances (4,760) (7,410) (10,070)
Freight-in 8,790 _________ 11,900
Cost of goods sold (236,690) (252735) (292,523)
Gross profit on sales 44,870 92,880 _________
Answer:
2020:
Sales revenue = Net Sales + Sales returns
= 345,615 + 13,790
= $359,405
Freight-In = Cost of goods sold - Beginning inventory - Purchases + Purchase returns + Ending inventory
= 252,735 - 34,400 - 260,690 + 43,065 + 7,410
= $8,120
2021:
Beginning inventory = Ending inventory 2020 = $43,065
Gross Profit on sales = Net sales - Cost of goods sold
= 396,103 - 292,523
= $103,580

Question 1 [30]
Write an essay to demonstrate your understanding of the economies of scale in a supply chain with
reference to cycle inventory by arguing whether a toothpaste manufacturer wanting to offer quantity
discounts to maximise its profit should offer lot-size-based or volume-based quantity discounts if it
wants to maximise total supply chain profits at the same time. Discuss the concepts of lot-size-based
and volume-based quantity discounts and summarise under what circumstances lot-size-based and
volume-based quantity discounts are applicable before you argue the case of the toothpaste

uestion 2 [35]
Explanation:
Material prices, ordering costs, and keeping costs are the three major expense groups for the supermarket's inventory strategy. The money spent to Proctor and Gamble on the materials themselves is known as the material expense. Ordering prices, also known as procurement costs, are charged when a customer requests supplies from a retailer and are fixed so that they do not change depending on the scale of the order. Fixed examples include the following:
The costs include the time it takes to put the order, deal with the paperwork that comes with it, and the cost of shipping the order. The holding cost is the cost of keeping a single unit in inventory for a set amount of time, normally a year. This expense is subjective and covers the cost of capital as well as all of the costs of physically handling material, such as shrinkage, spoilage, or obsolescence, insurance, the cost of capital, the cost of storage space, and so on.
Warranty Costs Milford Company sells a motor that carries a three-month unconditional warranty against product failure. Based on a reliable statistical analysis, Milford knows that between the sale and the end of the product warranty period, four percent of the units sold will require repair at an average cost of $60 per unit. The following data reflect Milford's recent experience:
October November December Dec. 31 Total 23,000 22,000 25,000 70,000 Units sold Known product failures from sales in: October November December 120 460 180 130 160 220 350 210 210
Calculate, and prepare a journal entry to record, the estimated liability for product warranties at December 31. Assume that warranty costs of known failures have already been reflected in the records. Credit General Journal Date Description Dec.31 Product Warranty Expense Estimated Liability for Product Warranty To provide for estimated future warranty expense. $ Debit 64,800 $ 0 64,800
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the estimated liability and the journal entry is given below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The Estimated defective units is
= 70,000 × 4%
= 2,800 units
the actual defective units is
= 460 + 350 + 210
= 1,020 units
The no of unclaimed units is
= 2,800 - 1,020
= 1,780 units
Now the warranty expense is
= 1,780 units × $60 per unit
= $106,800
Now the journal entry is given below:
Product warranty expense Dr $106,800
To Estimated liability $106,800
(Being estimated liability is recorded)
how can the size of the industrial/service sector and the agriculture employment rate indicate the level of industrialization?
Answer:
The more electricity, communications, and transportation used in a nation's economy, it will give them a more developed country and a greater potential for increased industrialization
An airline is considering a project of replacement and upgrading of machinery that would improve efficiency. The new machinery costs $400 today and is expected to last for 5 years with no salvage value. Straight line depreciation will be used. Project inflows connected with the new machinery will begin in one year and are expected to be $200 each year for 5 consecutive years and project outflows will also begin in one year and are expected to be $90 each year for 5 consecutive years. The corporate tax rate is 32% and the required rate of return is 9%. Calculate the project's net present value.
$-9.48
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(400 - 0) / 5 = 80
(200 - 90- 80) x (1 - 0.32) + 80 = $100.40
Cash flow in year 0 = $-400
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $100.40
I = 9%
NPV = $-9.48
To find the NPV 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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
