Kilt Company used a predetermined overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour for the year and estimated that direct labor hours would total 6,100 hours. Assume the only inventory balance is an ending Work in Process balance of $17,700. How much overhead was applied during the year
Answer:
$205,000
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question as we were not given actual direct labor hours. From a similar question, I picked 5,000 as the direct labor hours .
With regards to the above information, applied overhead is computed as;
Applied overhead = Overhead rate × Actual direct labor hour
Given that;
Overhead rate = $41
Actual direct labor hour = 5,000
Therefore,
Applied overhead = $41 × 5,000 = $205,000
Metlock Company purchased a computer for $8,800 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is used, based on a 5-year life and a $1,100 salvage value. On January 1, 2021, the estimates are revised. Metlock now feels the computer will be used until December 31, 2022, when it can be sold for $550.
Compute the 2021 depreciation. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) Depreciation expense, 2021
Answer:
$2,585
Explanation:
carrying value on December 31, 2020 = $8,800 - [($8,800 - $1,100) x 2/5] = $5,720
new depreciable value = $5,720 - $550 = $5,170
depreciation expense per year = $5,170 / 2 = $2,585
if an asset's useful life changes, the change will only influence future depreciation rates, not past ones.

For each of the following products, indicate whether you believe demand will be relatively price elastic or relatively price inelastic. Give economic reasons for each reply. Remember that high demand does NOT imply high elasticity. High elasticity occurs if a change in quantity demanded is relatively large compared to the associated change in price regardless of how high the quantity demanded is to begin with. a. Mayonnaise in general b. A specific brand of mayonnaise c. Chevrolet automobiles d. Tesla automobiles e. Washing machines f. Beer
Answer:
Note that goods that are considered in general have a broad demand and goods with broad demand are inelastic as there are no substitutes for them. Goods that are specific by nature have narrow demand and have elastic demand because consumers can switch to others if the price is increased slightly.
Hence, Mayonnaise in general, Washing machines and beer have inelastic demand as there are no close substitutes. The remaining three, namely, specific brand of mayonnaise, Chevrolet automobiles and Tesla automobiles have elastic demand as there are substitutes and consumers/users will switch to others if the price is no more favorable.
A market is in equilibrium when A. the government sets the price high enough so that all producers can make profits. B. the government sets the price low enough so that all consumers can afford to purchase as much of the product as they want. C. there is a surplus of the product. D. the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell. g
Answer:
D. the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell.
Explanation:
A market is in equilibrium when the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell.
Generally, a market is considered to be at equilibrium when the quantity of goods and services supplied by the producer is equal to the quantity of goods and services demanded by the consumers.
A direct opposite of this phenomenon is market failure. Market failure is when the market fails to produce the efficient level of output.
This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market. Thus, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy.
Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities etc.

Raymond Moss, vice president of Moss Auto Parts, gets an annual bonus of 15% of any income, before deducting bonus and income taxes, above $100,000. Income before bonus and income taxes is $250,000. The effective income tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Compute the amount of Raymond Moss's bonus. Bonus
Answer:
$22,500
Explanation:
Raymond Moss's bonus is computed as the excess of $100,000 of income before bonus and income taxes.
In other words, the income before bonus and income taxes of $250,000 minus $100,000 is the amount upon which the bonus is computed.
Bonus=excess of income before bonus and income taxes*rate of bonus
income before bonus and income taxes.=$250,000-$100,000
income before bonus and income taxes.=$150,000
bonus rate=15%
Bonus=$150,000*15%
Bonus=$22,500

Pension data for Sterling Properties include the following: ($ in thousands) Service cost, 2021 $ 112 Projected benefit obligation, January 1, 2021 850 Plan assets (fair value), January 1, 2021 900 Prior service cost—AOCI (2021 amortization, $8) 80 Net loss—AOCI (2021 amortization, $1) 101 Interest rate, 6% Expected return on plan assets, 10% Actual return on plan assets, 11% Required: Assume Sterling Properties prepares its financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interest rate on high-grade corporate bonds is 6%. Determine the net pension cost.
Answer:
Net pension cost is $82,000.
Explanation:
The net pension cost can be determined as follows:
Details ($ in thousands)
Service cost, 2021 112
Interest cost (w.1) 51
Expected return on plan assets (w.3) (90)
Amortization of prior service cost 8
Amortization of net loss 1
Net pension cost 82
Workings ($ in thousands):
w.1: Interest cost = Projected benefit obligation, January 1, 2021 * Interest rate = $850 * 6% = $51
w.2: Gain from expected return on the plan assets = (Plan assets (fair value), January 1, 2021 * Actual return rate on plan assets) - (Plan assets (fair value), January 1, 2021 * Expected return rate on plan assets) = ($900 * 11%) - ($900 * 10%) = $9
w.3: Expected return on plan assets = (Plan assets (fair value), January 1, 2021 * Actual return rate on plan assets) - Gain from expected return on the plan assets = ($900 * 11%) - $9 = $99 - $9 = $90

Staley Co. manufactures computer monitors. The following is a summary of its basic cost and revenue data: Per Unit Percent Sales price $480 100 Variable costs 312 65 Unit contribution margin $168 35 Assume that Staley Co. is currently selling 600 computer monitors per month and monthly fixed costs are $80,000. Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be (round intermediate calculation up to nearest whole number of units): 79.5%. 19.5%. 33.4%. 17.7%. 20.5%.
Answer:
20.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for what Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be
First step is to calculate Break-even amount
Break-even = $80,000/($480-$312)
Break-even= 476.19
Break-even= 477 approximately
Second step is to calculate the Margin of Safety
Margin of Safety = 600-477
Margin of Safety= 123
Now let calculate the margin of safety ratio
Margin of safety ratio=123/600
Margin of safety ratio=20.5%
Therefore Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be 20.5%

Suppose a company is financed with $20 million of equity and $60 million of debt. That is, the company obtained $20 million from shareholders and $40 million from debtholders to finance its operations. Its capital structure is, therefore, 25% (=$20million/ ($20 million+$60 million) ) equity and 75% (=$60million/ ($20 million+$60 million) ) debt. Please provide the solutions to the following questions (a, b) in the box below.
If company issues $30 million new equity in order to retire some of its debt, what would be its new capital structure?
How do you think market would react on the announcement about the new equity issue? Why? Explain.
Answer:
Existing Equity = 20 million
Existing debt = 60 million
Total capital = 20 million + 60 million = 80 million
a. Given company issued 30 million of equity to retire debt
Equity after raise = $20 million + $30 million = $50 million
Debt = $60 million - $30 million = $30 million
Total capital size remain at $80 million
Capital structure, Equity = $50 million/$80 million = 0.625 = 62.50%
Debt = (1-0.625) = 0.375 = 37.50%
b. The market would welcome the new issue as the risk of the firm would be reduced.

Jessica can produce 2 boats in a day or 100 umbrellas in a day. Paul can produce 3 boats in a day or 120 umbrellas in a day. This means that for every boat that Jessica produces, her opportunity cost is 50 umbrellas. For every boat Paul produces, his opportunity cost is 40 umbrellas. What would you illustrates the idea of comparative advantage?
Answer: B. Paul is relatively better at producing boats because he gives up fewer umbrellas per boat.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is a notion introduced by famous economist, David Ricardo. It argues that entities should produce the goods that they have a lower opportunity cost in producing as this would prove they are better at producing said goods because they are more efficient.
In this scenario, Paul most definitely has a comparative advantage over Jessica in the production of boats because he has a lower opportunity cost of 40 umbrellas when he does so. He is therefore more efficient at it than Jessica.
The option that illustrates comparative advantage is Paul is relatively better at producing boats because he gives up fewer umbrellas per boat.
What is comparative advantage?A person has comparative advantage in production of a good or service if it produces the good at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.

Suppose Bob and Cho form a cartel and behave as a monopolist. The profit-maximizing __________price isper gallon, and the total output is__________gallons. As part of their cartel agreement, Bob and Cho agree to split production equally. Therefore, Bob's profit is__________, and Cho's profit is____________.
Suppose that Bob and Cho have been successfully operating as a cartel. They each charge the monopoly price and sell half of the monopoly quantity. Then one night before going to sleep, Bob says to himself, "Cho and I aren't the best of friends anyway. If I increase my production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, I can increase my profit even though her profit goes down. I will do that starting tomorrow."
After Bob implements his new plan, the price of water ________ to__________per gallon. Given Cho and Bob's production levels, Bob's profit becomes________ and Cho's profit becomes___________. Because Bob has deviated from the cartel agreement and increased his output of water to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, Cho decides that she will also increase her production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount. After Cho increases her production, Bob's profit becomes__________, Cho's profit becomes_________, and total profit (the sum of the profits of Bob and Cho) is now____________.
Answer:
Suppose Bob and Cho form a cartel and behave as a monopolist. The profit-maximizing price is 2.10 per gallon, and the total output is 240 gallons. As part of their cartel agreement, Bob and Cho agree to split production equally. Therefore, Bob's profit is $252 and Cho's profit is $252.
Suppose that Bob and Cho have been successfully operating as a cartel. They each charge the monopoly price and sell half of the monopoly quantity. Then one night before going to sleep, Bob says to himself, "Cho and I aren't the best of friends anyway. If I increase my production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, I can increase my profit even though her profit goes down. I will do that starting tomorrow."
After Bob implements his new plan, the price of water decreases to 1.75 per gallon. Given Cho and Bob's production levels, Bob's profit becomes 280 and Cho's profit becomes 210 . Because Bob has deviated from the cartel agreement and increased his output of water to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount, Cho decides that she will also increase her production to 40 gallons more than the cartel amount. After Cho increases her production, Bob's profit becomes 224 , Cho's profit becomes 224 , and total profit (the sum of the profits of Bob and Cho) is now 448.

Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway
Answer:
Beth should not hire the applicant.
Explanation:
Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.

Half of the units were delivered on November 15, 2018, and the remaining 100,000 units were delivered on January 20, 2019. At the time of sale Cavanaugh paid 40% of the contract price and agreed to pay the rest in equal installments on the two delivery dates. What amount of revenue should Colson recognize from this sale in 2018?
A. $0.
B. S1,000,000.
C. $500,000.
D. $700,0.
Correct options read:
A. $0
B. $500,000
C. $700,000
D. $1,000,000
Answer:
C. $700,000
Explanation:
Note only payments made on this sale that fall under the year 2018 is accounted for. Hence, we can make the following conclusions:
Total payment due: $5 per unit x 200,000 = $1,000,000.Cavanaugh paid 40% of the contract price on September 25, 2018 = $400,000 (40% or 0.4 x $1,000,000).Also since half of the units were delivered on November 15, 2018, and he agreed to pay the rest in equal installments, we expect him to pay half the $600,000 left:
units were delivered on November 15, 2018 = $300,000 paid.Total payments in the year:
September 25, 2018; $400,000 + $300,000; November 15, 2018 = $700,000.
