Take a moment to practice identifying a single, researchable question for the following issues:

a. A company ships its widgets to a customer on December 31 but has not yet collected payment from the customer. The customer has promised to pay within 30 days but has never purchased good with this company before. Researchable question?
b. A customer is suing the local grocery store for a slip-and-fall incident. The grocery store believes the lawsuit will likely be considered frivolous and rejected by the court. The grocery store must decide whether to record or disclose this matter. Researchable question?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Identifying a single, researchable question for the stated issues:

a. How probable will it be that this customer pays within 30 days?

b. How probable is it for a liability to arise from this lawsuit?

Explanation:

A good research question should be specifically focused on a single issue or some closely related ideas. This will ensure the generation of a good thesis statement.  A research question that is too general or is not focused on one topic makes it difficult to carry out the research.  The only solution will be to narrow down the topic to a single researchable issue.  A good research question provides a clear direction.  It should provide the basis for meaningful understanding of an issue through investigation.

You are analyzing a large stable company. For the year ending 12/31/2015 the company reported earnings of $58,900 and book value at the end of 2015 was $371,700. You expect earnings to grow at 5% a year in perpetuity, and the dividend payout ratio of 70% to continue. The company borrows at 8%, and has a cost of equity of 12%. 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

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

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

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:

Dr cash $25,200

Dr accumulated depreciation $13,000

Cr equipment $37,000

Cr profit on disposal $1,2000

Explanation:

The yearly depreciation expense on the equipment is computed thus:

depreciation=(cost-residual value)/useful life

cost=$37000

residual value=$4,500

useful life= 5 years

depreciation=($37000-$4500)/5

depreciation=$6,500

accumulated depreciation for 2 years=$6,500*2=$13,000

Cash proceeds from disposal=$25,200

Upon disposal, we would debit cash with $25,200 as well as accumulated depreciation with $13,000 while the equipment account is credited with the original cost of $37,000

Total debits=$25,200+$13,000=$38,200

total credit=$37,000

profit on disposal=$38,200-$37000=$1,200

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.

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

Answers

Answer:

b. Specifications should not be set arbitrarily. If you set a specification to loosely, the customer will be dissatisfied or upset with the performance of what you provided, even though it meets the specification.

Explanation:

Specification is defined as a set of requirements that needs to be met when producing a product. They give a value that seperate this product from others in performance.

Specification should be narrowly defined as this will help effectively meet the customer needs.

When specifications are too loosely defined the product might not meet customer needs.

For example if a developer requires a laptop with high processing power and the company decides to provide a more generic and lower processing power, the target customer will not be satisfied

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.

The balanced scorecard: Multiple Choice Fails to reflect environmental and social effects of the firm's operations. Helps focus managers' attention to bottom line profits. Is not comprehensive, since it doesn't include all the critical success factors which contribute to competitive success. Is forward looking, stressing nonfinancial measures that can lead to benefits in the future. Is heavily weighted toward the financial critical success factors.

Answers

Answer:

Is forward looking, stressing nonfinancial measures that can lead to benefits in the future.

Explanation:

Financial statements can be defined as a document used for the formal communication or disclosure of financial information and statements to present and potential users such as investors and creditors. These includes balance sheet, statement of retained earnings and income statement.

In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially.

Hence, the balanced scorecard is forward looking, stressing nonfinancial measures that can lead to benefits in the future and as such it is a strategic management planning technique.

Stevens Company's inventory on March 1 and the costs charged to Work in Process—Department B during March are as follows:

Beginning work in process, 12,000 units, 60% completed $62,400
From Department A, 55,000 units started this period
Direct materials added 115,500
Direct labor incurred 384,916
Factory overhead incurred 138,000

During March, all direct materials were transferred from Department A, the units in process at March 1 were completed, and of the 55,000 units entering the department, all were completed except 6,000 units that were 70% completed. Inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.

Required:
Prepare a cost of production report for March.

Answers

Solution :

 Particulars                                                         Direct materials   Conversions

Cost per equivalent unit              

Total costs for month March in Department B          115500              522915

Total equivalent units                                                   55000              58000

Cost per equivalent unit                                                 2.10               9.0158

So, total conversion cost for March in the Department B

= 384915 + 138000

= $ 522915

Costs charged to production:

                                                 Direct Materials    Conversion      Total cost

                                                Costs                        costs            

Inventory in process, March 1                                                              62400

Cost incurred in March                                                                         638415

Total costs accounted by the department                                          700815

Therefore, the cost incurred in March = 115500 + 384915 + 138000

                                                                = $ 638415

Assume the following adjustment data.

a. Supplies on hand at October 31 total $520.
b. Expired insurance for the month is $120.
c. Depreciation for the month is $135.
d. As of October 31, services worth $950 related to the previously recorded unearned revenue had been performed.
e. Services performed but unbilled (and no receivable has been recorded) at October 31 are $250.
f. Interest expense accrued at October 31 is $75.
g. Accrued salaries at October 31 are $1,520.

Required:
Prepare the adjusting entries for the items above.

Answers

Answer:

a.

Debit : Balance Sheet $520

Credit : Supplies $520

b.

Debit : Insurance expense $120

Credit : Prepaid Insurance $120

c.

Debit : Depreciation expense $135

Credit : Accumulated depreciation expense $135

d.

Debit : Unearned Revenue $950

Credit : Revenue Earned $950

e.

Debit : Trade Receivable $250

Credit : Service Revenue $250

f.

Debit : Interest expense $75

Credit : Note Payable $75

g.

Debit : Salaries expense $1,520

Credit : Accounts Payables $1,520

Explanation:

So adjusting entries are done at the end of the reporting period, in this case it is the end of October.

For most of these entries we recognize expenses and a corresponding decrease in assets or increase in liabilities.

As for revenue previously unearned, we have to recognize the revenue portion now earned.

Return to questionItem 4 Required information Skip to question Retained earnings at the beginning of the period was $300. During the period, Kilgore Company earned revenue of $1,100 and incurred expenses of $400. Assuming dividends paid to stockholders were $200, the ending balance in retained earnings must have been:

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

A local partnership is liquidating and has only two assets (cash of $10,000 and land with a cost of $35,000). All partnership liabilities have been paid. All partners are personally insolvent. The partners have capital balances and share profits and losses as follows. Brown, capital (40%) $ 25,000 Fish, capital (30%) 15,000 Stone, capital (30%) 5,000 If the land is sold for $25,000, how much cash does each partner receive in a final settlement

Answers

Answer:

The amount of cash that each partner receives in a final settlement is as follows:

Brown  = $14,000

Fish =     $10,500

Stone =  $10,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Partnership assets:

Cash = $10,000

Land (cost) = $35,000

Capital balances and sharing of profits and losses:

Brown, capital (40%) $ 25,000

Fish, capital (30%) 15,000

Stone, capital (30%) 5,000

Cash realized from land = $25,000

Total cash available for distribution = $35,000 ($10,000 + $25,000)

Distribution:

Brown (40%) = $14,000 (40% of $35,000)

Fish (30%) =     $10,500 (30% of $35,000)

Stone (30%) =  $10,500 (30% of $35,000)

Total                $35,000

b) When a partnership is liquidated, the partners share the net assets of the partnership in their profit and loss sharing ratios.  If the net assets are negative, they also share the balance in their profit and loss sharing ratios and make the required contributions.

The board of directors of a corporation:________.
a) Are elected by the corporate registrar.
b) Are responsible for day-to-day operations of the business.
c) Do not have the power to bind the corporation to contracts, due to lack of mutual agency.
d) May not also be executive officers of the corporation, due to the separate entity principle.
e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.

Answers

Answer:

e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.

Explanation:

A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.

This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.

Some examples of multinational firms are Ap-ple, Volkswagen, Go-ogle, Shoprite, Nestlé, Accenture, Shell BP, Chevron etc.

An owner of a corporation is known as a stockholder and he or she can decide to sell the corporation through stocks or shares as a publicly traded firm.

Basically, the board of directors who are representing the stockholders of a corporation are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities because they are typically considered to be a governing body saddled with oversight functions and responsibilities.
