A company uses the weighted average method for inventory costing. At the start of a period the production department had 28,000 units in beginning Work in Process inventory which were 44% complete; the department completed and transferred 169,000 units. At the end of the period, 26,000 units were in the ending Work in Process inventory and are 79% complete. The production department had conversion costs in the beginning goods is process inventory of $103,000 and total conversion costs added during the period are $726,925. Compute the conversion cost per equivalent unit.
Answer:
$4.38 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the conversion cost per equivalent unit is shown below:
The conversion cost per equivalent unit is
= Total conversion cost ÷ conversion cost units
where,
Total conversion cost is
= Beginning work in process + added cost
= $103,000 + $726,925
= $829,925
And, the conversion units is
= Transferred units + ending work in process units × completion percentage
= 169,000 units + 26,000 units × 0.79
= 169,000 units + 20,540 units
= 189,540 units
So, the conversion cost per unit is
= $829,925 ÷ 189,540 units
= $4.38 per unit

Maria Maya Good X Good Y Good X Good Y 90 0 60 0 60 30 40 10 30 60 20 20 0 90 0 30 Refer to Exhibit 3. For Maya, the opportunity cost of producing one unit of good X is ___________ unit(s) of good Y.
Answer:
The answer is
0.5 units of Good Y
Explanation:
The tabulated data is not properly arranged, let me try to arrange the data:
Maria Maya
Good X Good Y Good X Good Y
90 0 60 0
60 30 40 10
30 60 20 20
0 90 0 30
Opportunity cost refer to the amount of benefit given up by the choosing of an alternative. In this example, as quantity of Good Y increased for Maya, the quantity of Good X reduced, hence Good X was given up to acquire Good Y
To calculate the oppotunity cost for producing one unit of good X for Maya, we will find the ratio of the difference between the highest and the lowest quatities for each good.
Good X ; (Highest quantity) - (Lowerst quantity) = 60 - 0 = 60
Good Y ; (Highest quantity) - (Lowerst quantity) = 30 - 0 = 30
∴ Opportunity cost of producing one unit of good X= 30 ÷ 60 = 0.5 units of good Y
This means that for every one unit of X produced, 0.5 unit of Y is given up in the process
In its 2016 income statement, Tow Inc. reported proceeds from an officer's life insurance policy of $90,000 and depreciation of $250,000. Tow was the owner and beneficiary of the life insurance on its officer. Tow deducted depreciation of $370,000 in its 2016 income tax return when the tax rate was 25%. Data related to the reversal of the excess tax deduction for depreciation follow:_______. Year Reversal of excess tax deduction Enacted tax rates2017 $10,000 30%2018 20,000 30%2019 40,000 35%2020 50,000 35% There are no other temporary differences. Taxable income in 2016 is $68,000. Tow expects to report profits (rather than losses) for tax purposes for all future years. What is 2016 Income Tax Expense? a. $57,500 b. $47,000 c. $84,500 d. $53,000 e. $80,000
Answer:
A.. $57,500
Explanation:
Calculation for 2016 Income Tax Expense?
First step is to calculate the deferred tax liability
Year Reversal Tax rates Deferred Tax Liability
2017 $10,000 30% $3,000
2018 $20,000 30% $6,000
2019 $40,000 35% $14,000
2020 $50,000 35% $17,500
TOTAL Deferred tax liability $40,500
Second step is to find the Income tax on current year taxable income
Income tax= 68,000 * 25%
Income tax = 17,000
Last step is to find the total income tax expense to be recorded in the year 2016
Using this formula
Income tax expense= Deferred tax liability +Income tax
Let plug in the formula
Income tax expense=$40,500+$17,000
Income tax expense= $57,500
Therefore the Income Tax Expense for the year 2016 will be $57,500

$25,000, and you expect it to appreciate 10 percent per year in value, how much will your land be worth 10 years
Answer:
$64,843.56
Explanation:
If you purchase a parcel of land today for $25,000 and you expect it to appreciate 10 percent per year in value, how much will your land be worth 10 years from now.
Appreciation value = (1+r)^n × PV
Where,
r= appreciation rate = 10%
n= number of years = 10 years
PV = present value = $25,000
Appreciation value = (1+r)^n × PV
= (1 + 10%)^10 × 25,000
= (1 + 0.1) ^10 × 25,000
= (1.1)^10 × 25,000
= 2.5937424601 × 25,000
= 64,843.5615025
Approximately $64,843.56
The land will be worth $64,843.56 in 10 years from now

c. Journal
Work In Process : Job 200 $19,375 (debit)
Work In Process : Job 200 $23,250 (debit)
Overheads $42,625 (credit)
Explanation:
Predetermined factory overhead rate = Budgeted Fixed Costs ÷ Estimated Direct Labor Hours
= $620,000 ÷ 80,000
= $7.75 per direct labor hour.
Application of Overheads.
Job 200 = Actual Labor hours × Predetermined factory overhead rate
= 2,500 hours × $7.75
= $19,375
Job 305 = Actual Labor hours × Predetermined factory overhead rate
= 3,000 hours × $7.75
= $23,250
Why is it that incidental beneficiaries cannot enforce rights under a contract? Should they be able to enforce such rights?
Answer:
He cannot enforce or demand for any right in a contract as he was not even supposed to gain anything in the first place.
Explanation:
This is because they get unintended benefits from contracts. Incidental beneficiaries benefits from a contract even though that benefit is not part of why the contract was made. So these rights cannot even be enforced because none of the parties involved went into the contract for the sake of the incidental beneficiary. An incidental beneficiary only gets to benefit out of mere luck from two other parties therefore he cannot enforce or demand for any right. He is just a third party.

"A new furnace for your small factory will cost $41,000 to install and will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $3,500 a year. But it is far more fuel efficient than your old furnace and will reduce your consumption of heating oil by 3,800 gallons per year. Heating oil this year will cost $3 a gallon; the price per gallon is expected to increase by $.50 a year for the next 3 years and then to stabilize for the foreseeable future. The furnace will last for 20 years, at which point it will need to be replaced and will have no salvage value. The discount rate is 10%."

Vernon theorizes that as the market in the United States and other advanced nations matures, _____ becomes the main competitive weapon.
Answer:
Explanation:
The product becomes more standardized, and price becomes the main competitive weapon. Meaning that in a mature nation resources and opportunities are plentiful and companies are easily able to enter a market and compete with existing markets by producing the same products. Doing so would saturate the market with similar products, causing competition to depend strictly on pricing.

Why might prevention costs be referred to as an investment while failure costs might be referred to as true costs
Answer: Prevention cost is used to protect equipments and assets and as such is an investment.
Explanation:
Prevention cost like the name suggests is a cost incurred in the process of keeping a machine or equipment in a working condition to avoid a future breakdown which might lead to a loss in profit for the company. This is why it is referred to as an investment because it is done to prevent the loss of profit due to downtime a breakdow of the machine or equipment would cause.
Failure cost is a true cost because it arises from a loss incurred by the company through production or it capital invested in the business.
Suppose a firm is producing in the long run. When it produces 2,000 units of output, its total cost is $4,000. When it produces 2,300 units of output, its total cost is $4,100, and when it produces 2,600 units of output, its total cost is $4,200.
This firm is experiencing (constant, decreasing, increasing, increasing then decreasing, decreasing then increasing) returns to scale.?
Answer:
This firm is experiencing Decreasing return to scale
Explanation:
ATC = TC/Q
ATC (2,000) = $4,000/2000 unit = 2
ATC (2,300) = $4,100/2,300 unit = 1.78
ATC (2,600) = $4,200/2600 unit = 1.62
The ATC is decreasing, hence it is decreasing return to scale.

"You want to invest your savings of $20,000 in government securities for the next 2 years. Currently, you can invest either in a security that pays interest of 8% per year for the next 2 years or in a security that matures in 1 year but pays only 6% interest. If you make the latter choice, you would then reinvest your savings at the end of the first year for another year. Why might you choose to make the investment in the 1-year security that pays an interest rate of only 6%, as opposed to investing in the 2-year security paying 8%
Answer:
Explanation:
In the former case that is investment in security that pays interest of 8% per year for the next 2 years , there is provision of fixed interest rate . That means one can be assured of interest rate of 8 % for two years but he can not get benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate if it rises above 8 % after one year .
In case of investment in security that matures in 1 year but pays only 6% interest , one can take the benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate rises above 8 % . So if there is likelihood that interest rate can rise above 8 % in future , one should invest in 6% security for one year and reinvest it after one year , in the same security or in other security which fetches higher rate of interest .
Apart from that , if there is a contingent liability of paying after one year , one can not go in for 2 year security as it will have to break prematurely , that will result in loss of interest .
So due to situation described above, one should prefer investment in one year security .
Duddy Kravitz owns the Saint Viateur Bagel store. His world famous bagels are hand rolled, boiled in honey-water and baked in a wood-burning oven. The store sells 5,000 bagels per day and is open 365 days of the year. The bagels are so popular that, on weekends, the customer line-up runs half-way down the block. Uncle Benjy thinks that the wood-fired oven should be replaced by a modern gas oven, which would reduce costs by $0.02 per bagel. A new oven would cost $105,000.Duddy is considering Uncle Benjy's idea, but he only plans to be in business for another two years. The bagels are sold for $0.75 each. The cost of producing each bagel with the wood-burning oven is $0.50 which includes labor and raw materials. The current oven was purchased thirty years ago for $20,000. It could be sold today for $5,000 and will be worth $3,000 in two years. A new oven costs $105,000 today and could be sold for $55,000 in two years. Duddy's cost of capital is 9%. Assume that investment cash flows occur immediately, and that sales and production costs occur at the end of the year. Assume that both ovens are classified as 10-year property and depreciated using the MACRS system. The tax rate is 35%.What are the terminal year cash flows?a. 30,340b. $36,500c. $62,260d. $90,600e. $94,500
Answer:
No option is even close. With yearly revenues of $1,368,750 and a contribution margin ratio of 36% and 33.33%, the cash flows are in the hundreds of thousands of $.
Explanation:
new oven:
contribution margin per bagel = $0.75 - $0.48 = $0.27
units sold per year = 5,000 x 365 = 1,825,000 x $0.27 = $492,750
initial outlay = $105,000 - [$5,000 x (1 - 35%)] = $103,250
depreciation year 1 = 10% x $105,000 = $10,500
depreciation year 2 = 18% x $105,000 = $18,900
after tax salvage value = $55,000 - [($55,000 - $75,600) x 35%] = $62,210
cash flow year 1 = [($492,750 - $10,500) x (1 - 35%)] + $10,500 = $323,962.50
cash flow year 2 (terminal cash flow) = [($492,750 - $18,900) x (1 - 35%)] + $18,900 + $62,210 = $389,112.50
old oven:
contribution margin per bagel = $0.75 - $0.50 = $0.25
units sold per year = 5,000 x 365 = 1,825,000 x $0.25 = $456,250
initial outlay = $0, and since the oven has been completely depreciated already, the depreciation expense is $0.
after tax salvage value = $3,000 x (1 - 35%) = $1,950
cash flow year 1 = $456,250 x (1 - 35%) = $296,562.50
cash flow year 2 (terminal cash flow) = [$456,250 x (1 - 35%)] + $1,950 = $298,512.50

2 ) calculate the amount of cash receipt from the sale of plant assets
first we will calculate the dep on sale of plant products
= beginning accumulated depreciation + depreciation expense - ending accumulated depreciation
= 22500 + 12000 - 24500 = $10000
next we calculate the cost of sale of plant assets
= beginning plant asset + acquisition new plant assets - ending plant asset
= $123500 + $29000 - $131500 = $21000
Hence the cash receipt from the sale plant assets = cost of sale of plant assets - dep on sale of plant products + gain on the sale of plant assets
= 21000 - 10000 + 6000 = $17000
