The average shop direct labor rate is $20 per hour.
Determine the predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour.

Answers

Answer:

$8.20/Direct Labor hours

Explanation:

Cost of performing engine repair work = Shop and repair equipment depreciation + Shop supervisor salaries + Shop property taxes + Shop supplies

Cost of performing engine repair work = $40,000 + $133,000  + $22,000 + $10,000

Cost of performing engine repair work = $205,000

Direct Labor Hours = Direct Labor/Direct Labor rate

Direct Labor Hours = 500,000/$20 per hour

Direct Labor Hours = 25,000 hours

Predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour = $205,000 / 25,000 Hours = $8.20/Direct Labor hours

b. $9,855.75
c. $9,859.21
d. $10,000

Answers

Answer:

You would like to lock in the selling price on 50,000 bushels of wheat, which you plan to harvest and deliver to the market in September. The September futures price quote is currently 899?4. If you write September futures contracts on your wheat, you will be guaranteed a total price of ________ for your crop. Each contract is quoted in cents and 1/8ths of a cent per bushel with a contract size of 5,000 bushels.
a. $45.637.50.
b. 50 $541650.00.
c. $449750.00.
d. $297700.50.
e. $2.971.000.

Answers

Answer:

c. $449750.00.

Explanation:

1/8 of 10 lots of bushels of 5,000 per lot = 1.25

Therefore, the price quote of 899'4 cents is written as 899'4+1.25 = $8.995

Total value = Wheat(bushels) * Price Quote

Total value = 50,000 * $8.995

Total value = $449,750

Grimaldi Chocolates projects its factory rent to be $8,000 in July when 4,000 pounds of candy are expected to be produced. If rent is a fixed cost, and if production is expected to increase to 6,000 units in August, what is the expected cost of rent in August

Answers

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, the expected cost of rent in August is $8,000. This is because the $8,000 is fixed in total.

We know that fixed costs are those costs that do not vary with the level of output. Invariably, it means they remained the same as activity level or output changes.

Although, production increases to 6,000 units in August from 4,000 candy pounds of candy that are expected to be produced in March, yet, the fixed cost of $8,000 would remain the same whether or not production increases or decreases.

Exercise 8-12 Double-declining-balance, partial-year depreciation LO C2 Compute depreciation expense at December 31 for both the first year and second year assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method. (Enter all amounts as positive values.)

Answers

Answer:

Year 1 = $84,000Year 2 = $78,400

Explanation:

Double declining means that the asset is depreciating at double the rate that it would with straight method:

Straight line depreciation = 280,000 / 5 years

= $56,000

Rate = 56,000 / 280,000 = 20%

Double declining will be:

= 20 * 2 = 40%

Year 1 Depreciation:

= 40% * 280,000 * 9/12 months

= $84,000

Year 2 Deprecation:

= 40% * Net book value

= 40% * (280,000 - 84,000)

= $78,400

Products Sales Revenue Traditional ABC
Product 540X $195,000 $56,000 $46,600
Product 137Y 158,000 55,000 37,000
Product 249S 84,000 10,000 37,400
Instructions
a) For each product line, compute operating income using the traditional costing system.
b) For each product line, compute operating income using the activity-based costing system
c) Using the following formula, compute the percentage difference in operating income for each of the product lines of Ayala:{Operating Income (ABC)-Operating Income traditional cost)]divided operating Income (traditional cost)(round the percentage to two decimals).

Answers

Answer:

a. Operating income of Product 540X under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $195,000 - $56,000 = $139,000

Operating income of Product 137Y under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $158,000 - $55,000 = $103,000

Operating income of Product 249S under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $84,000 - $10,000 = $74,000

b. Operating income of Product 540X under  activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $195,000 - $46,600 = $148,400

Operating income of Product 137Y under  activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $158,000 - $37,000 = $121,000

Operating income of Product 249S under  activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $84,000 - $37,400 = $46,600

c. % of the difference between the operating income of Product 540X under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100

= $148,400 - $139,000/$139,000 * 100

= $9,400/$139,000 * 100

= 0.0676258992805755 * 100

= 6.76%

% of the difference between the operating income of Product 137Y under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100

= $121,000 - $103,000/$103,000 * 100

= $18,000/$103,000*100

= 0.1747572815533981 * 100

= 17.48%

% of the difference between the operating income of Product 249S under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100

= $46,600 - $74,000/$74,000 * 100

= -$27,400/$74,000 * 100

= -0.3702702702702703 * 100

Assume Italy and Chad can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries. Each farmer in Italy can produce 10 t of grain or 5 t of dates in a season. Each farmer in Chad can also produce 10 t of grain or 25 t of dates.
1. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
2. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
3. Which country has the competitive advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
4. Which country has the comparative advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.

Answers

Answer:

chad

neither

chad

Italy

Explanation:

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

The opportunity cost of  Italy in producing one unit of grain = 5/10 = 0.5t dates

The opportunity cost of  Italy in producing one unit of dates = 10/5 = 2grains

The opportunity cost of  Chad in producing one unit of grain =  25/10 = 2.5 dates

The opportunity cost of  Chad in producing one unit of dates = 10/25 = 0.4 grains

Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of grains while Chad has a comparative advantage in the production of dates

A country has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries. Chad produces 25t of dates while Italy produces 5t of dates, this shows that Chad has an absolute advantage in the production of dates. Both Italy and Chad produces the same quantity of grains so neither have an absolute advantage in the production of grains.

Lucky Strike Mine (LLC) purchased a silver deposit for $1,500,000. It estimated it would extract 500,000 ounces of silver from the deposit. Lucky Strike mined the silver and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1.8 million, $2.5 million, and $2 million for Years 1 through 3, respectively. During Years 1 through 3, Lucky Strike reported net income (loss) from the silver deposit activity in the amount of ($100,000), $400,000, and $100,000, respectively. In Years 1 through 3, Lucky Strike actually extracted 300,000 ounces of silver as follows: Ounces extracted per year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 50,000 150,000 100,000 What is Lucky Strike's depletion deduction for Year 2 if the applicable percentage depletion for silver is 15 percent

Answers

Answer:

$375,000

Explanation:

depletion rate musts equal the lesser between:

net income = $400,000

or

15% of gross revenues = $2,500,000 x 15% = $375,000

in this case, $375,000 is the smallest amount.

The percentage of depletion is used by extraction companies, e.g. oil & gas companies or mining companies.

Steelcase has received orders of 2400, 2200, 2700, and 2500 units of a special-purpose panel for each of the next four months. SC can meet these demands by producing the panel, by drawing from its inventory, or by using any combination of the two alternatives. The production costs during each of the next four months are projected to be $74, $75, $76, and $76.5 per unit. Because costs are rising each month, SC might be better off producing more panel than it needs in a given month and storing the excess. Production capacity, though, cannot exceed 4000 units in any one month. The monthly production is finished at the end of the month at which time the demand is met. Any remaining panel is then stored in inventory at a cost of $1.2 per panel for each month that it remains there. If production level is increased from one month to the next, then the company incurs a cost of $0.5 per unit of increased production to cover the additional labor and/or overtime. Each unit of decreased production incurs a cost of $0.3 to cover the benefits of unused employees. The production level during the previous month was 1800 units, and the beginning inventory is 1000 units. Inventory at the end of the fourth month must be at least 1500 units to cover anticipated demand. Formulate a production plan for SC that minimizes the total costs over the next four months

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

The Production Planning of the Steel Case:

Demand (units):

Month 1:  2400

Month 2:  2200

Month 3:  2700

Month 4:  2500

Production Cost ($/unit):

Month 1:  74

Month 2:  75

Month 3:  76

Month 4:  76.5

Inventory cost ($/panel):

Month 1:  1.2

Month 2:  1.2

Month 3:  1.2

Month 4:  1.2

Starting Inventory = 1000

Ending Inventory at the end of 4th month = 1500

Starting Production Level = 1800

Cost of changing production level = $0.5/unit (increase)

                                                         = $0.3/unit (decrease)

Decision Variables:

Let Pn be the production in the month n.

[tex]I_{n}[/tex] be the inventory at the end of month n.

[tex]I_{o}[/tex] be the initial inventory at the start of month 1.

Objective Function:

The production cost is given below:

74[tex]P_{1}[/tex] + 75[tex]P_{2}[/tex] + 76[tex]P_{3}[/tex] + 76.5[tex]P_{4}[/tex]

And the holding cost is given below:

1.2( [tex]I_{1} + I_{2} + I_{3}[/tex] )

And,

Constraints:

In order to meet the demand, we have the following constraints:

[tex]P_{1}[/tex] + [tex]I_{o}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 2400

[tex]P_{2}[/tex]  + [tex]I_{1}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 2200

[tex]P_{3}[/tex]  + [tex]I_{2}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 2700

[tex]P_{4}[/tex] + [tex]I_{3}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex]  2500

Now, considering the inventory level at the end of each month:

[tex]I_{o}[/tex] = 1000

[tex]I_{1}[/tex] = [tex]P_{1}[/tex] - [tex]I_{o}[/tex] - 2400

[tex]I_{2}[/tex] = [tex]P_{2}[/tex]  - [tex]I_{1}[/tex] - 2200

[tex]I_{3}[/tex] = [tex]P_{3}[/tex]  - [tex]I_{2}[/tex] - 2700

[tex]I_{4}[/tex] = [tex]P_{4}[/tex]  - [tex]I_{3}[/tex] - 2500

[tex]I_{4}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 1500

It is given that, at maximum 4000 units can be produced each month

So, we have the following constraints:

[tex]P_{n}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 4000 for n = 1, 2, 3 ,4

Also,

[tex]P_{n}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 0

[tex]I_{n}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 0

Answers

Answer:

$800

Explanation:

The first task here is to determine the amount of net income recognized in the year which is the earned revenue minus incurred expenses as shown thus:

net income=earned revenue-incurred expenses

earned revenue= $1,100

incurred expenses=$400

net income=$1,100-$400=$700

retained earnings for the period=net income-dividends paid

dividends paid=$200

retained earnings for the period=$700-$200=$500

ending balance of retained earnings=beginning retained earnings+retained earnings for the period

beginning retained earnings=$300

ending balance of retained earnings=$300+$500=$800

The company has 25,000 shares outstanding. What is your estimate of price per share using the dividend discount model at 12/31/2015

Answers

Answer:

$24.74

Explanation:

Total earnings for the year ending 12/31/2015= $58,900

dividend payout ratio=70%

current year total dividends= $58,900*70%

current year total dividends=$41,230.00

current dividend per share=current year total dividends/shares outstanding

current dividend per share=$41,230.00/25,000

current dividend per share=$1.6492

expected dividend=current dividend per share*(1+growth rate)

growth rate of dividends forever=5%

expected dividend=$1.6492*(1+5%)

expected dividend=$1.73166

share price=expected dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)

cost of equity=12%

share price=$1.73166/(12%-5%)

share price=$24.74
