Answer:
The correct answer is 29.00%
Explanation:
The account rate of return on investment is the percentage of the amount invested that makes up the net return on investment. This is calculated as:
rate of return = (net income from investment ÷ cost of investment) × 100
net income from investment = $136,300
cost of investment = $470,000
∴ Rate of return = (136,300 ÷ 470,000) × 100 = 0.29 = 29%
"2. In 2020, Polar Engines issued 125,000 shares of its $1 par common stock at $12 per share. On September 30, 2022 Polar Engines repurchased 15,000 shares at $17 per share to hold in Treasury. Finally, on July 31, 2023 Polar Engines resold 10,000 of its treasury stock for $20 per share. What is the dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end of 2023?"
Answer:
Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = $85,000
Explanation:
Given:
Number of purchase treasury stock = 15,000 at $17
Number of sold treasury stock = 10,000
Computation:
Amount of purchase treasury stock = 15,000 × $17
Amount of purchase treasury stock = $255,000
Amount of sold treasury stock = 10,000 × Purchase price
Amount of sold treasury stock = 10,000 × $17
Amount of sold treasury stock = $170,000
Computation of dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end:
Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = Amount of purchase treasury stock - Amount of sold treasury stock
Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = $255,000 - $170,000
Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = $85,000
Swan Textiles Inc. produces and sells a decorative pillow for $98.00 per unit. In the first month of operation, 2,300 units were produced and 1,800 units were sold. Actual fixed costs are the same as the amount budgeted for the month. Other information for the month includes: Variable manufacturing costs $23.00 per unit Variable marketing costs $6.00 per unit Fixed manufacturing costs $15 per unit Administrative expenses, all fixed $21.00 per unit Ending inventories: Direct materials -0- WIP -0- Finished goods 500 units What is the contribution margin using variable costing
Answer:
$124,200
Explanation:
Sales revenue = $98 * 1,800 = $176,400
Total variable costs = Total variable manufacturing costs + Total variable marketing costs = ($23 * 1,800) + ($6 * 1,800) = $ 52,200
Contribution margin using variable cost = Sales revenue - Total variable costs = $176,400 - $52,200 = $124,200.
Suppose seafood price and quantity data for the years 2000 and 2009 follow. Use 2000 as the base period. Seafood 2000 Qty. (lb) 2000 Price ($/lb) 2009 Price ($/lb) Halibut 75,190 2.01 2.33 Lobster 83,080 3.62 3.09 Tuna 50,779 1.87 1.97 (a) Compute a price relative for each type of seafood. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) Seafood Price Relative Halibut Lobster Tuna (b) Compute a weighted aggregate price index for the seafood catch. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
Answer:
a) Price Relative for Halibut is 115.9 (1 d.p)
Price Relative for Lobster is 85.4 (1 d.p)
Price Relative for Tuna is 105.4 (1 d.p)
b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.
Explanation:
a) The Price Relative for a good refers to it's current price divided by it's base price times 100. It therefore measures a change in price across different periods.
Writing the formula as stated is,
Price Relative = Current Price / Base Price * 100
Price Relative for Halibut = 2.33/2.01 * 100
= 115.9 (1 d.p)
Price Relative for Lobster = 3.09/3.62 * 100
= 85.4 (1 d.p)
Price Relative for Tuna = 1.97/1.87 * 100
= 105.35
= 105.4 (1 d.p)
b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index enables us to see how prices in a particular basket has changed over a period of time. It is calculated as follows,
Weighted Price Index = (Sum of Weighted Current Price ) / ( Sum of weighted Base Price) * 100
Sum of Weighted Current Price = (75,190 * 2.33) + (83,080 * 3.09) + ( 50,779 * 1.97)
= 538,124.53
Sum of Weighted Base Price = (75,190 * 2.01) + (83,080 * 3.62) + ( 50,779 * 1.87)
= 546,838.23
Weighted Price Index = (538,124.53 / 546,838.23) *100
= 98.4
The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy: Direct materials: 8 microns per toy at $0.32 per micron Direct labor: 1.2 hours per toy at $6.50 per hour During July, the company produced 5,100 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows: Direct materials: 78,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $0.28 per micron. 27,000 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 6,620 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $46,340.
Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances for July. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effectCompute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances for July. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect
Answer:
1.-3,120 Favorable variance.
2.$704Unfavorable variance
Explanation:
Material price variance:
Actual price is $0.28
Standard price 0.32
Actual quantity 78,000
Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) Actual quantity=
(0.28 - 0.32)*78,000
= (-0.04) 78,000= -3,120 Favorable variance.
2. Material quantity variance:
Actual quantity of material used (78,000 - 27,000) = 51,000
Standard quantity of material for the actual level of production (5,100 toys x 8 microns per toy) =48,800 toys
Standard price per unit of material = $0.32
Material quantity variance = (Actual quantity used - Standard quantity of material for actual level of production) Standard price
= (51,000 - 48,800)* $0.32
= (2,200) $0.32 = $704Unfavorable variance
Answer:
Explanation:
Std material Qty allowed (5100*8) = 40800
Std price: 0.32
Actual qty purchased: 78000
Actual qty used: 78000-27000 =51000
Actual price = 0.28
Material price variance= Actual Qty (Std price -Actual price)
78000 (0.32- 0.28) = 3120 fav
Material Qty variance= Std price (Std qty-Actual Qty )
0.32 (40800-51000) = 3264 Unfav
Std labor hours (5100*1.2) = 6120 Hours
Std rate per hour: 6.50
Actual Labor hours: 6620 hours
Actual labor cost = 46340
labor rate variance = Actual hours *Std rate-Actual labor cost
6620 *6.50 - 46340 = 3310 Unfav
Labor efficiency variance = Std price (Std hours -Actual hours )
6.50 (6120-6620 ) = 3250 Unfav
On January 1, Year 1, Barrett, Inc., purchased equipment and signed a note agreeing to pay $100,000 on December 31, Year 3. The market interest rate applicable to the note was determined to be 10%.

Relying on the contract, Lester's enters into a second contract with a large apartment complex to plant 1,000 pink begonias around its property. A large ice storm demolishes all of Peter's begonia flowers. In turn, Peter's didn't meet its supply to Lester's, and Lester's didn't plant the flowers at the apartment complex. The apartment complex sues Lester's for breach of contract, and Peter's is brought as a cross-claim defendant. What are the arguments Lester's and Peter's should make in defense of not performing under their respective contracts
Answer:
Explanation:
This incident occurred as a result of natural disaster which was beyond the control of the parties involved. Moreover , this incident would have been covered by so many news media and channels which would serve as evidences to buttress their claim.
Therefore , it is easier to make a defense in the fact that the breach occurred due to the natural disaster that was neither forseen nor could be prevented by their effort.
Lester's Flowers and Peter's Plants, Inc. can argue that they were unable to perform their contracts due to the ice storm.
Explanation:In this scenario, both Lester's Flowers and Peter's Plants, Inc. can make arguments in defense of not performing under their respective contracts due to the unforeseeable event of an ice storm. Lester's Flowers can argue that the ice storm prevented them from receiving the pink begonias from Peter's Plants, Inc. and therefore they could not fulfill their contract with the apartment complex. Peter's Plants, Inc. can argue that the ice storm destroyed their flowers and prevented them from meeting their supply obligations to Lester's Flowers.

Benefits of free-trade agreements Suppose that Indonesian consumers previously faced higher prices on shoes than they do under the free-trade agreement to which the nation currently adheres because there were only a few domestic firms supplying shoes to the Indonesian market due to trade restrictions.
Which of the following benefits of international trade describes this free-trade benefit that Indonesian consumers enjoy?
A. Enhanced flow of ideas
B. Increased competition
C. Lower unit costs through economies of scale
D. Increased variety of goods
Answer:
D. Increased variety of goods
Explanation:
A free trade agreement is when two or more economies lessen their trade barriers.
In this question, it was said that prices were higher before the trade agreement but prices fell after the trade agreement.
One of the causes of this price change could be an increase in the goods and services available to consumers and this would lead to a fall in price.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: B. Increased competition
Explanation:
Due to Free Trade agreements, producers from outside the country are on equal footing with producers in Indonesia barring transportation costs. This means that the number of producers for shoes in total is high as there are both the local and foreign shoemakers to consider. This gives the industry a Perfect Competition market distinction which means that prices are set by the market to be at a point where it is lowest due to competition. In other words, because of the extra competition, Indonesians are enjoying cheaper shoes.

Keating Co. is considering disposing of equipment with a cost of $72,000 and accumulated depreciation of $50,400. Keating Co. can sell the equipment through a broker for $26,000 less 10% commission. Alternatively, Gunner Co. has offered to lease the equipment for five years for a total of $48,000. Keating will incur repair, insurance, and property tax expenses estimated at $8,000 over the five-year period. At lease-end, the equipment is expected to have no residual value. The net differential income from the lease alternative is
a. $24,900
b. $19,920
c. $16,600
d. $11,620
Answer:
Option (c) : $16,600
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
For computing the net differential income we need to do following calculations which are shown below:
Sales consideration = $26,000
Commission = $26,000×10%
= $2,600
Net income = $26,000 - $2,600
= $23,400
Lease amount = $48,000
Repair, insurance, and property tax expenses = $8,000
Net income = $48,000 - $8,000
= $40,000
Income if offer of lease accepted = $40,000
Income if equipment is sold through a broker = $23,400
Net differential income from the lease alternative =$40,000 - $23,400
= $16,600
Hence, option (c) : $16,600 is correct answer.

Lois Bragg owns a small restaurant in Boston. Ms. Bragg provided her accountant with the following summary information regarding expectations for the month of June. The balance in accounts receivable as of May 31 is $56,000. Budgeted cash and credit sales for June are $145,000 and $591,000, respectively. Credit sales are made through Visa and MasterCard and are collected rapidly. Sixty five percent of credit sales is collected in the month of sale, and the remainder is collected in the following month. Ms. Bragg's suppliers do not extend credit. Consequently, she pays suppliers on the last day of the month. Cash payments for June are expected to be $710,000. Ms. Bragg has a line of credit that enables the restaurant to borrow funds on demand; however, they must be borrowed on the last day of the month. Interest is paid in cash also on the last day of the month. Ms. Bragg desires to maintain a $38,000 cash balance before the interest payment. Her annual interest rate is 10 percent.

how much money does Ms. Bragg need to borrow on June 30?
total cash collections in June = $56,000 (from previous month) + $145,000 (cash sales) + $384,150 (65% of $591,000) = $585,150
payments - cash collected = $710,000 - $585,150 = $124,850
money borrowed on June 30 = $124,850 + $38,000 (desired cash balance) = $162,850
interest expense during July = $162,850 x 10% x 1/12 = $1,357

Later, when the manager announced that twelve parking spaces would be lost as a result of construction across the street, she raised her hand and said, "Then where, exactly, do you expect us to park?" The manager tried to provide some recommendations, but Ana continued to complain until the manager gave up and announced that the meeting was over.
What should Ana do to make the next meeting more effective and productive?
Answer:
Bring a positive attitude
Explanation:
In this scenario Ana was already frustrated by the excess workload she has before attending the meeting. So when the manager raised the issue of construction affecting parking spaces she expressed a negative reaction, and kept complaining until the manager gave up and announced that the meeting was over.
For the next meeting to be more productive Ana should bring a positive mindset, and consider recommendations provided by the manager.
This will result in her working collaboratively with the manager to find solutions to the parking space problem.
Sheldon, Inc. declared a stock dividend of 50,000 shares on a date when the company's common stock was selling for $ 18 per share. Prior to this date, Sheldon had 500,000 outstanding shares of $ 1 par value common stock. As a result of this stock dividend, Sheldon's common stock will ________, the additional paidminusin capital will ________, and the retained earnings will ________.
Answer:
As a result of this stock dividend, Sheldon's common stock will increase by $900,000, the additional paid in capital will not change, and the retained earnings will decrease by $900,000
Explanation:
Stock dividend is paying dividends by issuing additional stocks to shareholders.
In this case,50,000 shares were issued instead of paying cash dividends.
The stock dividend is financed from retained earnings and the amount involved is $900,000(50000*$18).
However,common stock would witness an increase of $900,000 by a way of credit and retained earnings would reduce by the same amount with no impact in the paid in capital in excess of par since the par value of the stock was not provided,hence it is no par value stock.
Page Company makes 30% of its sales for cash and 70% on account. 60% of the credit sales are collected in the month of sale, 25% in the month following sale, and 12% in the second month following sale. The remainder is uncollectible. The following information has been gathered for the current year: Month 1 2 3 4 Total sales $60,000 $70,000 $50,000 $30,000 Total cash receipts in Month 4 will be:
Final answer:
Total cash receipts in Month 4 will be $41,650.
Explanation:
To calculate the total cash receipts in Month 4, we need to determine the amount collected in the month of sale, the following month, and the second month following sale, as well as the uncollectible amount.
Month 1: Total sales = $60,000
Cash sales = 30% of total sales = 0.3 * $60,000 = $18,000
Credit sales = 70% of total sales = 0.7 * $60,000 = $42,000
Amount collected in Month 1 = 60% of credit sales = 0.6 * $42,000 = $25,200
Month 2: Total sales = $70,000
Cash sales = 30% of total sales = 0.3 * $70,000 = $21,000
Credit sales = 70% of total sales = 0.7 * $70,000 = $49,000
Amount collected in Month 2 = 25% of credit sales = 0.25 * $49,000 = $12,250
Month 3: Total sales = $50,000
Cash sales = 30% of total sales = 0.3 * $50,000 = $15,000
Credit sales = 70% of total sales = 0.7 * $50,000 = $35,000
Amount collected in Month 3 = 12% of credit sales = 0.12 * $35,000 = $4,200
Total cash receipts in Month 4 = Amount collected in Month 1 + Amount collected in Month 2 + Amount collected in Month 3
Total cash receipts in Month 4 = $25,200 + $12,250 + $4,200
= $41,650

Sonny's Super Market has installed a self-service checkout counter, and wishes to understand how this has affected customer service. Shoppers arrive on average the rate of one every other minute (Poisson distribution). Each shopper takes an average of 84 seconds to use the checkout, and that time is exponentially distributed. a. Calculate how long it takes, on average, for a shopper at the self-service counter, including how long they wait in line and how long it takes them to do their own checkout.'
Answer:
The Expected time a customer spends in the system is 4
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Arrival rate A = 1 every other minute = 30/hour or (30/60) per minute
Service rate S = 84 seconds = 60×60/84= 42.86 customers per hour
System utilization factor P = A/S = 30/42.86 = 0.699
Length of the system L = P/(1-P) = 0.699/(1-0.699) = 2.322
Therefore, Expected time a customer spends in the system = L/A = 2.322/(30/60) = 4.644=4
Quantum Company uses the highminuslow method to estimate the cost function. The information for 2017 is provided below: Machineminushours Labor Costs Highest observation of cost driver 1 comma 000 $ 32 comma 000 Lowest observation of cost driver 200 $ 16 comma 000 What is the estimated cost function for the above data? A. y = 32 comma 000 + 32X B. y = 12 comma 000 + 20X C. y = 20 comma 000 + 80X D. y = 16 comma 000 + 40X
Answer:
The correct option is B,y = 12 comma 000 + 20X
Explanation:
Total =fixed cost+(variable cost*X)
where X is quantity of items produced
Variable cost=Highest observation cost-lowest observation/highest machine hours-lowest machine hours
variable cost=$32,000-$16,000/(1000-200)=$20
Substituting the variable cost in highest activity figures,we would arrive at fixed cost
$32000=fixed cost+($20*1000)
$32000=fixed cost+$20,000
fixed cost=$32,000-$20,000=$12,000
The correct option is B,y=12,000+20X
The y stands for total cost
Poodle Corporation was organized on January 3, 2021. The firm was authorized to issue 83,000 shares of $5 par common stock. During 2021, Poodle had the following transactions relating to shareholders' equity: Issued 26,000 shares of common stock at $6.40 per share. Issued 23,000 shares of common stock at $9.30 per share. Reported net income of $110,000. Paid dividends of $50,000. What is total paid-in capital at the end of 2021
Answer:
$380,300
Explanation:
Paid-in-capital is the amount of cash received from the investors of the company for issuance of stocks. Paid-in-capital is recorded for both common and preferred stock separately. The value st par is recorded separately from the value excess of par of each stock type.
Issue of stock
first issuance
Common stock = 26,000 shares x $5 = $130,000
Add-in capital excess of par- Common shares = 26,000 shares x ( $6.4 - $5 )
Add-in capital excess of par- Common shares = $36,400
second issuance
Common stock = 23,000 shares x $5 = $115,000
Add-in capital excess of par- Common shares = 23,000 shares x ( $9.3 - $5 )
Add-in capital excess of par- Common shares = $98,900
Total Paid-in-capital = ($130,000 + $36,400) + ($115,000 + $98,900)
Total Paid-in-capital = $166,400 + $213,900 = $380,300
To find the total paid-in capital for Poodle Corporation at the end of 2021, add the amounts received from the issuance of common stock. The total paid-in capital at the end of 2021 is $380,300.
Total Paid-In Capital Calculation:
Calculate the total paid-in capital by adding the amounts received from the issuance of common stock. $6.40 per share * 26,000 shares + $9.30 per share * 23,000 shares = Total Paid-In Capital.
Calculate the total paid-in capital: $166,400 + $213,900 = Total Paid-In Capital.
Total Paid-In Capital at the end of 2021 is $380,300.
LBC Corporation makes and sells a product called Product WZ. Each unit of Product WZ requires 2.3 hours of direct labor at the rate of $19.00 per direct labor-hour. Management would like you to prepare a Direct Labor Budget for June. The budgeted direct labor cost per unit of Product WZ would be: Multiple Choice $19.00 $5.60 $20.10 $43.70
Answer:
$43.70
Explanation:
Data provided
Each Unit Require = 2.3 hours
Direct Labor Rate Per Hour = $19.00
The computation of budgeted direct labor cost per unit is shown below:-
Budgeted direct labor cost per unit = Each Unit Require × Direct Labor Rate Per Hour
= 2.3 hours × $19.00 rate per hour
= $43.70
Therefore for computing the budgeted direct labor cost per unit we simply multiply the each unit require with direct labor rate per hour
Cosmo contributed land with a fair market value of $332,500 and a tax basis of $138,000 to the Y Mountain partnership in exchange for a 40 percent profits and capital interest in the partnership. The land is secured by $163,000 of nonrecourse debt. Other than this nonrecourse debt, Y Mountain partnership does not have any debt
a. How much gain will Cosmo recognize from the contribution? (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
b. What is Cosmo’s tax basis in his partnership interest?
Answer:
a. Zero gain
b. Cosmo’s tax basis in his partnership interest is $55,200
Explanation:
a. According to the given data there is a Zero gain, therefore Cosmo will recognize $ 0 gain from the contribution.
b. In order to calculate Cosmo’s tax basis in his partnership interest we would have to make the following calculation:
Cosmo’s tax basis in his partnership interest= tax basis to the Y Mountain partership×percentage of profits and capital interest in the partnership
Cosmo’s tax basis in his partnership interest=$138,000×40%
Cosmo’s tax basis in his partnership interest=$55,200
Cosmo’s tax basis in his partnership interest is $55,200
Final answer:
Cosmo will recognize $0 in gain from the contribution of land to the Y Mountain partnership. His initial tax basis in the partnership interest will also be $0 after accounting for relief of the nonrecourse debt.
Explanation:
Calculation of Gain Recognition and Tax Basis:
Cosmo contributed land to the Y Mountain partnership which triggers certain tax considerations. Firstly, the gain recognition:
Cosmo would not recognize any gain on the contribution of property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership under Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code, assuming the contribution did not result in a change of 80% or more of the ownership of the partnership.Thus, the gain Cosmo recognizes is:
Recognized Gain: $0Next, for the tax basis in the partnership interest:
The basis of his land contributed is $138,000.However, since the land is subject to a $163,000 nonrecourse debt which the partnership assumes, Cosmo must reduce his basis by the amount of the debt relieved.Therefore, Cosmo's initial basis would be decreased by the nonrecourse debt.Adjusted Tax Basis = $138,000 - $163,000 = -$25,000. However, since basis cannot be negative, Cosmo's basis would be $0. It's important to note that future income allocations or additional contributions could increase this basis.In conclusion, Cosmo's initial tax basis in the partnership is $0.
Joslyn Company manufactures metal brackets. The estimated number of metal bracket sales for the first three months of the current year is: Month Unit Sales January 1,250 February 1,400 March 1,200 Finished goods inventory at the end of last December was 300 units. Desired ending finished goods inventory is equal to 20 percent of the next month's sales. Joslyn Company expects to sell the brackets for $20 each. How many brackets should Joslyn produce in February?
Answer:
Production= 1,240 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
February= 1,250
March= 1,200
Desired ending finished goods inventory is equal to 20 percent of the next month's sales.
To determine the production required for February, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 1,250 + (1,200*0.2) - (1,250*0.2)
Production= 1,240 units

Jiminy's Cricket Farm issued a 30-year, 7.8 percent semiannual bond 5 years ago. The bond currently sells for 92 percent of its face value. The company’s tax rate is 40 percent. Required: (a) What is the pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Pretax cost of debt % (b) What is the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Aftertax cost of debt % (c) Which is more relevant, the pretax or the aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
Pretax cost of debt is 8.58%
after tax cost of debt is 5.15%
After tax cost of debt of 5.15% is more relevant because that reflects the true cost of debt bearing in mind that debt has a tax advantage(tax shield).
Explanation:
The pretax cost of debt can be computed using the rate formula in excel as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupons the bond would pay i.e 25years(years to maturity)*2=50
pmt is the semiannual coupon interest=$1000*7.8%*6/12=$39
pv is the present price of the bond=$1000*92%=$920
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(50,39,-920,1000)=4.29%
Annual yield=4.29%*2=8.58%
after tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)
t is the tax rate of 40%
after tax cost of debt=8.58%*(1-0.4)=5.15%

-For next month, the vice president of production plans on producing 4,450 wrenches per day.
-The company can produce as many as 5,000 wrenches per day, but is more likely to produce 4,500 per day.
-The demand for wrenches for the next three years is expected to average 4,250 wrenches per day.
-Fixed manufacturing costs per month total $374,000.
-The company works 22 days a month.
-Fixed manufacturing overhead is charged on a per-wrench basis.
Required: Answer a. – d. below
a. What is the theoretical fixed manufacturing overhead rate per wrench for the next month?
b. What is the practical fixed manufacturing overhead rate per wrench for the next month?
c. What is the normal fixed manufacturing overhead rate per wrench for the next month?
d. What is the master-budget fixed manufacturing overhead rate per wrench for the next month?
Answer:
a. $3.40 per wrench
b. $3.78 per wrench
c. $4 per wrench
d. $3.82 per wrench
Explanation:
a) Theoretical Fixed Manufacturing Overhead.
This is the cost associated with what the company can produce.
They can produce as much as 5,000 wrenches per day for 22 days on a budget of $374,000.
Theoretical Manufacturing Overhead is therefore,
= 374,000 / ( 5,000 * 22)
= $3.40 per wrench.
b. The Practical Fixed Overhead would be the costs to be incurred with the more likely level of production.
Company will more likely produce 4,500 wrenches a day.
Following from a,
= 374,000 / (4,500 * 22)
= 3.7778
= $3.78 per wrench.
c. The normal overhead is the cost associated when the company produces according to demand.
The demand is expected to be 4,250 wrenches for the next 3 years.
Therefore,
= 374,000 ( 4,250 * 22)
= $4 per wrench.
d. The master budget overhead rate is cost associated with the level the company Plans to produce.
Soul Socket plans to produce 4,450 wrenches a day.
Therefore,
= 374,000 (4,450 * 22)
= $3.82 per wrench.

Answer:
The total liabilities at end of September is $5,000
Explanation:
The $21,000 received from business owner is capital which would have been credited to capital and debited to cash.
The purchase of office equipment meant that cash decreased by $4000,a credit of $4,000 and a credit of $5,000 to notes payable while the $9000 is debited to equipment account.
The insurance expense,utility bill,rent as well as the purchase of office furniture were all cash settled and had no liability impact,hence the only liability outstanding at month end is the notes payable on office equipment of $5,000
Which one of the following statements is correct? Question 19 options: A longer payback period is preferred over a shorter payback period. The payback rule states that you should accept a project if the payback period is less than one year. The payback period ignores the time value of money. The payback rule is biased in favor of long-term projects. The payback period considers the timing and amount of all of a project's cash flows.
Answer:
The payback period ignores the time value of money.
Explanation:
This could primarily be classified to be amongst the major disadvantages of the payback period that it ignores the time value of money which is a very important business concept. In the other hand, the payback period disregards the time value of money. It is determined by counting the number of years it takes to recover the funds invested. Some analysts favor the payback method for its simplicity. Others like to use it as an additional point of reference in a capital budgeting decision framework.
The payback period does not account for what happens after payback, ignoring the overall profitability of an investment.
The correct statement here is that the payback period ignores the time value of money.
Contrary to what is obtainable in other ways of capital budgeting, the payback period is known to not have the need for the time value of money.
The time value of money can be described as the idea that the money that is at hand today has more value than the same amount of money in the future.
This is due to the potential that the money has today in terms of earnings.
