Answer:
$404,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation
Using this formula
Rent =Area used by Assembly department / Total Area used by Manufacturing Departments x Total Rent paid
Let plug in the formula
Rent =36,850/ (36,850+30,150) x $736,000
Rent=36,850/67,000*$738,000
Rent=0.55*$736,000
Rent= $404,800
Therefore How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation is $404,800

2. Shell Biotech Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive capital investment projects. Project 1 costs $75,000, and would produce annual cash flows of $16,200 for each of the next 9 years. Project 2 also costs $75,000, but would produce annual cash flows of $14,000 for each of the next 12 years. If Shell's cost of capital is 11%, which alternative should be chosen
Answer:
Project 2
Explanation:
The better alternative can be determined by calculating the npv
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
Project 1
Cash flow in year 0 = $-75,000
Cash flow each year fromyear 1 to 9 = $16,200
I = 11%
NPV = 14,700.17
Project 2
Cash flow in year 0 = $-75,000
Cash flow each year fromyear 1 to 12 = $14,000
I = 11%
NPV = 15,892.99
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.

On November 4, 2018, Blue Company acquired an asset (27.5-year residential real property) for $200,000 for use in its business. In 2018 and 2019, respectively, Blue took $642 and $5,128 of cost recovery. These amounts were incorrect; Blue applied the wrong percentages (i.e., those for 39-year rather than 27.5-year property). Blue should have taken $910 and $7,272 of cost recovery in 2018 and 2019, respectively. On January 1, 2020, the asset was sold for $180,000. If required, round all computations to the nearest dollar.
a. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $.
b. The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $.
c. The__________ on the sale of the asset in 2018 is $
Answer:
A. $191,818
B. $303
C. $11,515 loss
Explanation:
A) Calculation to determine what The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is
2017 Asset's cost $200,000
Less recovery costs for 2017 and 2018
($910 + $7,272 = $8,182
December 31, 2018 $191,818
($200,000 - $8,182)
Therefore The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $191,818
B) Calculation to determine what The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is
Recovery cost = $200,000 x (1 / 27.5) x (0.5 / 12)
Recovery cost = $200,000 x3.636% × .5/12)
Recovery cost = $303
Therefore The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $303
C) the asset's basis on the date of sale is = $191,818 - $303 = $191,515
Sales price - asset basis = $180,000 - $191,515 = $11,515 loss
Blue Company lost $11,515 when it sold the asset.

c. The__________ on the sale of the asset in 2018 is $
Burbank Company owns the building occupied by its administrative office. The office building was reflected in the accounts at the end of last year as follows:
Cost when acquired …………………………………….…… $330,000
Accumulated depreciation (based on straight-line depreciation, an
estimated life of 50 years, and a $30,000 residual value) ………. 78,000
During January of this year, on the basis of a careful study, management decided that the total estimated useful life should be changed to 30 years (instead of 50) and the residual value reduced to $22,500 (from $30,000). The depreciation method will not change, i.e. they will keep using straight-line deprecation.
Required:
1. Compute the annual depreciation expense prior to the change in estimates.
2. Compute the annual depreciation expense after the change in estimates.
3. What will be the net effect of changing estimates on the balance sheet, net income, and cash flows for the year?
Answer:
Burbank Company
1. The annual depreciation expense prior to the change in estimates is:
= $6,000.
2. The annual depreciation expense after the change in estimates is:
= $10,250.
3. The net effect of the changing estimates on the balance sheet, net income, and cash flows for the year:
The balance sheet = the accumulated depreciation will increase to $88,250.
The net income will reduce by $4,250.
The cash flows will not be affected, as depreciation is not a cash flow item.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of office building = $330,000
Accumulated depreciation = $78,000
Estimated useful life = 50 years
Estimated residual value = $30,000
Depreciable amount = $300,000
Annual depreciation expense (straight-line method) = $6,000 ($300,000/50)
Revised Estimates:
Cost of office building = $330,000
Accumulated depreciation = $78,000
Estimated useful life = 30
Residual value = $22,500
Depreciable amount = $307,500
Annual depreciation expense (straight-line method) = $10,250 ($307,500/30)
You expect to receive a payout from a trust fund in 3 years. The payout will be for $10,200. You plan to invest the money at an annual rate of 6.2 percent until the account is worth $17,800. How many years do you have to wait from today
Answer:
n= 12.25 years
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Present value= $10,200
Future value= $17,800
Interest rate= 6.2%
First, we need to calculate the number of years it will take the investment to reach $17,80. We need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(17,800/10,200) / ln(1.062)
n= 9.25 years
Now, the total number of years:
n= 9.25 + 3
n= 12.25 years
Michelle is an active participant in the rental condominium property she owns. During the year, the property generates a ($17,500) loss; however, Michelle has sufficient tax basis and at-risk amounts to absorb the loss. If Michelle has $120,000 of salary, $10,500 of long-term capital gains, $3,500 of dividends, and no additional sources of income or deductions, how much loss can Michelle deduct?
Answer: $8,000
Explanation:
A special rule allows Michelle to classify up to $25,000 as losses against her nonpassive income.
If Michelle's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $100,000 however, the amount that exceeds the $100,000 will be reduced by 50% and deducted from the exemption allowed.
Loss deduction = Exemption allowed - [(Nonpassive income - MAGI limit) * 50%)
= 25,000 - [ (120,000 + 10,500 + 3,500 - 100,000) * 50%]
= $8,000
Lease M does not contain a purchase option, but the present value of the lease payments is equal to 91% of the fair value of the leased asset. Lease P does not transfer ownership to the lessee by the end of the lease term, but the lease term is equal to 77% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset. How should the lessee classify these leases
Answer:
Lease M → Finance Lease Lease P → Finance LeaseExplanation:
An operating lease is one where the leasee simply pays rental for the asset. A finance lease on the other hand, has ownership attributes even though ownership is not transferred.
According to U.S. GAAP provisions, a lease is a finance lease if the lease term in more than 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset and seeing as this is the case for both Lease M and P, they are both finance leases.

Able conveyed real property in Michigan to Baker in a correctly draft and signed deed. Baker accurately and immediately recorded the deed with the appropriate county offices. After the recording of the deed, Able accepted money from Charlie and signed a new deed for the same property purporting to convey the property to Charlie. Charlie had not been told of the earlier transfer to Baker. In a dispute between Baker and Charlie, which of the following statements is most accurate.
A. Charlie will prevail over Baker because the deed from Able to Baker fails
B. Charlie will prevail over Baker because Charlie paid money to Able
C. Baker will prevail over Charlie because Baker recorded the deed before a Charlie paid Able for the property
D. Baker will prevail over Charlie, unless Able told Charlie of the prior transfer to Baker since that would have been his obligation
Answer: C. Baker will prevail over Charlie because Baker recorded the deed before a Charlie paid Able for the property.
Explanation:
As soon as Baker accurately and immediately recorded the deed with the appropriate county offices after the property was conveyed to him, he took over ownership of the property from Able.
Able received money from Charlie and signed a new deed after this had happened so Baker would prevail because Baker, not Able, owns the property and so Able cannot sell what does not belong to him.
Since Baker registered the deed when Charlie paid Able for the land, he will triumph over Charlie.
Title has been transmitted to Baker since Able ceded real property to Baker in a properly drafted and executed deed that was documented with the relevant county agencies. Able has no rights to the land after transfer, thus he can't transmit something that doesn't belong to him.

On January 1, 2019, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $47,550. The vehicle has an estimated 7-year life and a $4,500 residual value. Wasson uses the units-of-production depreciation method and Wasson estimates that the vehicle will be driven 105,000 miles. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming the vehicle was driven 10,500 miles during 2019 and driven 18,500 miles during 2020
Answer:
$35,660
Explanation:
the depreciable value of the vehicle = $47,550 - $4,500 = $43,050
depreciation expense per mile driven = $43,050 / 105,000 miles = $0.41
depreciation expense 2019 = $0.41 x 10,500 = $4,305
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.41 x 18,500 = $7,585
accumulated depreciation = $11,890
book value = $47,550 - $11,890 = $35,660
Round Hammer is comparing two different capital structures: An all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 175,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 125,000 shares of stock outstanding and $2.23 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent and there are no taxes.
a. Use M&M Proposition I to find the price per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is the value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
A) total debt = $2,230,000 and it represents 175,000 - 125,000 = 50,000 outstanding shares
price per share = $2,230,000 / 50,000 = $44.60 per share
B) enterprise value = 175,000 x $44.60 = $7,805,000
According to M&M proposition I, the enterprise value is the same with or without any outstanding debt. So the company's value is the same for both alternatives.

Carey Company had sales in 2016 of $1,560,000 on 60,000 units. Variable costs totaled $900,000, and fixed costs totaled $500,000. A new raw material is available that will decrease the variable costs per unit by 20% (or $3). However, to process the new raw material, fixed operating costs will increase by $100,000. Management feels that one-half of the decline in the variable costs per unit should be passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will result in a 5% increase in the number of units sold.
(a) Prepare a projected CVP income statement for 2017, assuming the changes have not been made, and
(b) assuming that changes are made as described.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit= 1,560,000 / 60,000= $26
Unitary variable cost= 900,000 / 60,000= $15
Fixed costs= $500,000.
First, the income statement without the changes:
Sales= 1,560,000
Total varaible cost= (900,000)
Contribution margin= 660,000
Total fixed costs= (500,000)
Net operating income= 160,000
Now, with the changes:
Unitary variable cost= (15*0.8)= 12
Selling price= 26 - 1.5= $24.5
Sales in units= 60,000*1.05= 63,000
Fixed costs= 500,000 + 100,000= $600,000
Sales= 24.5*63,000= 1,543,500
Total variable cost= (12*63,000)= (756,000)
Total contribution margin= 787,500
Fixed costs= (600,000)
Net operating income= 187,500
The following are budgeted data: January February March Sales in units 16,900 23,800 19,900 Production in units 19,900 20,900 20,000 One pound of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be:
Answer:
Purchases= 20,675 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
Feb= 20,900
Mar= 20,000
One pound of material is required for each finished unit.
Desired ending inventory= 25% of the following month's production needs.
To calculate the purchase required for February, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 20,900 + (20,000*0.25) - (20,900*0.25)
Purchases= 20,675
A reconciliation of Zack's Company's pretax accounting income with its taxable income for 2018, its first year of operations, is as follows: Pretax accounting income $3,000,000 Excess tax depreciation (150,000) Taxable income $2,850,000 The excess tax depreciation will result in equal net taxable amounts in each of the next three years. Enacted tax rates are 40% in 2018, 35% in 2019 and 2020, and 30% in 2021. The total deferred tax liability to be reported on Charles's balance sheet at December 31, 2018, is

Suppose the economy is experiencing an output gap of –3%. a. Select each response that indicates how monetary policy or fiscal policy can be used to raise actual output toward potential output. The government can increase its spending or reduce taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP. The Fed can reduce the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve down and increase GDP. Firms can increase production, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP. The Fed can increase the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve up and reduce GDP. The government can increase taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the left and reduce GDP. b. The policies you identified in part a if used together, will cancel each other out, and the economy will remain in output gap of -3%. cannot be used together because each moves the economy in a different direction. can be used together to raise actual output toward potential output.
Answer:
Suppose the economy is experiencing an output gap of –3%
a. Monetary policy or fiscal policy can be used to raise actual output toward potential output when:
The government can increase its spending or reduce taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP.
The Fed can reduce the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve down and increase GDP.
b. The policies identified in part a,
can be used together to raise actual output toward potential output.
Explanation:
Investment-Savings (IS) curve shows all the levels of interest rates and output (GDP) at which an economy's total desired investment (I) equals its total desired saving (S). This equilibrium can be achieved at a level of interest rate that maximizes output. The IS curve slopes downward, and to the right because at a lower interest rate, investment is higher, which produces more total output (GDP) for the economy.
Turrubiates Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following standards:
Standard quantity 8.4 liters per unit
Standard price $2.90 per liter
Standard cost $24.36 per unit
The company budgeted for production of 4,200 units in April, but actual production was 4,300 units. The company used 37,000 liters of direct material to produce this output. The company purchased 20,500 liters of the direct material at $3.0 per liter. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
The materials quantity variance for April is:__________
Answer:
the materials quantity variance for April is $2,552 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the materials quantity variance for April is shown below:
= (standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard rate
= (4,300 units × 8.4 liters - 37,000 liters) × $2.90
= (36,120 liters - 37,000 liters) × $2.90
= 880 liters × $2.90
= $2,552 unfavorable
hence, the materials quantity variance for April is $2,552 unfavorable

A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.00 at the end of the year (i.e., D1 = $1.00), and it should continue to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year. If its required return is 15%, what is the stock's expected price 3 years from today? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
$10.23
Explanation:
The constant growth dividend model can be used to determine the value of the stock
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
Dividend price in 3 years = D x (1 + g)^t
g = growth rate = 4%
t = time = 3
d = dividend = 1
$1 x (1.04)^3 = 1.124864
price = $1.124864 / (0.15 - 0.04) = $10.23
Sue quit her $40,000 per year job and opened a coffee shop that she calls Top Brew. In the first year, Top Brew earned $200,000 in revenue. For the same year, Top Brew paid $80,000 to employees in wages, spent $40,000 on ingredients such as coffee beans, $15,000 rent for the building to house Top Brew. Sue also used $50,000 of her personal savings to purchase equipment for Top Brew, which she was earning $4,000 in interest each year. Assuming no depreciation in the value of the equipment, Sueâs economic profit from Top Brew for the year is _______.
Answer:
$21,000
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. Implicit cost includes salary lost due to opening the shop and interest that could have been earned on the savings
Total explicit cost = $80,000 + $40,000 + $15,000 = $135,000
Accounting profit = $200,000 - $135,000 = $65,000
Economic profit = $65,000 - ($40,000 + $4,000) = $21,000

Storm Tools has formed a new business unit to produce battery-powered drills. The business unit was formed by the transfer of selected assets and obligations from the parent company. The unit's initial balance sheet on January 1 contained cash ($500,000), plant and equipment ($2,500,000), notes payable to the parent ($1,000,000), and residual equity ($2,000,000).
The business unit is expected to repay the note at $50,000 per month, plus all accrued interest at 1/2% per month. Payments are made on the last day of each month.
The unit is scheduled to produce 25,000 drills during January, with an increase of 2,500 units per month for the next three months. Each drill requires $40 of raw materials. Raw materials are purchased on account, and paid in the month following the month of purchase. The plant manager has established a goal to end each month with raw materials on hand, sufficient to meet 25% of the following month's planned production.
The unit expects to sell 20,000 drills in January; 25,000 in February, 25,000 in March, and 30,000 per month thereafter. The selling price is $100 per drill. Half of the drills will be sold for cash through a website. The others will be sold to retailers on account, who pay 40% in the month of purchase, and 60% in the following month. Uncollectible accounts are not material. Each drill requires 20 minutes of direct labor to assemble. Labor rates are $24 per hour. Variable factory overhead is applied at $9 per direct labor hour. The fixed factory overhead is $25,000 per month; 60% of this amount is related to depreciation of plant and equipment. With the exception of depreciation, all overhead is funded as incurred.
Selling, general, and administrative costs are funded in cash as incurred, and consist of fixed components (salaries, $100,000; office, $40,000; and advertising, $75,000) and variable components (15% of sales). Prepare a monthly comprehensive budget plan for Storm's new business unit for January through March. The plan should include the (a) sales and cash collections budget, (b) production budget, (c) direct materials purchases and payments budget, (d) direct labor budget, (e) factory overhead budget, (f) ending finished goods budget (assume total factory overhead is applied to production at the rate of $11.73 per direct labor hour), (g) SG&A budget, and (h) cash budget.
