Answer: Dr Work in Process 6000
Dr Labor Rate Variance 552
Cr Labor Efficiency Variance 480
Cr Payroll 6072
Explanation:
First, we need to know the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance which will be:
Labor Rate Variance:
= 368 × (16.50-15)
= 552 U
Labor Efficiency Variance:
= 15 × (368-400)
= 480 F
Then, the journal entry to record labor variances will be:
Dr Work in Process 6000
Dr Labor Rate Variance 552
Cr Labor Efficiency Variance 480
Cr Payroll 6072

Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement is described as the grammatical rule according to which the subject, as well as, the verb must agree with one another in number. As per the rules, if the subject(noun or noun phrase) is singular, it will take a singular verb while if the subject is plural(noun or noun phrase), it will carry a plural verb.
According to this rule, the first and third sentence fails to follow this agreement. The first sentence inadequately carries a plural verb 'were' with the singular noun ('The statement') and similarly, the third sentence wrongly employs plural verb 'have' with the singular noun 'the use.' The other sentences are grammatically appropriate as the verbs and noun phrases agree in number.
M Corporation has provided the following data concerning an investment project that it is considering:
Initial investment $230,000
Annual cash flow $132,000 per year
Expected life of the project 4 years
The net present value of the project is closest to:____.
a. $250,000.
b. $144,128.
c. $(131,000).
d. $(144,128).
Answer: $170,923.60
Explanation:
Missing information is that the discount rate is 12%.
As the cash inflow is constant, this can be termed an annuity. You just need to find the present value of an annuity for 4 years being discounted at 12%.
Present value of Annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity, 12%, 4 periods
= 132,000 * 3.0373
= $400,923.60
Net Present value = Present value of cash inflow - Initial investment
= 400,923.60 - 230,000
= $170,923.60

Andrews Corporation has income from operations of $240,000. In addition, it received interest income of $24,000 and received dividend income of $29,500 from another corporation. Finally, it paid $11,800 of interest income to its bondholders and paid $45,000 of dividends to its common stockholders. The firm's federal tax rate is 21%. What is the firm's federal income tax
Answer: $54,820.50
Explanation:
Federal income tax = Taxable income * tax rate
Taxable income = Income from operations + Interest income received + Dividend income received - Interest income paid
= 240,000 + 24,000 + (30% * 29,500) - 11,800
= $261,050
Federal income tax = 261,050 * 21%
= $54,820.50
Note: Only 30% of Dividends received are taxable
A TV manufacturer offers warranties on its new TV sales. During December 2004, TV sales totaled $205,000. Past experience shows that warranty expense averages about 3% of the annual sales. What adjusting journal entry should be recorded on December 31, 2004 to account for the warranty expense
Answer:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
Dec 31, 2004 Warranty expense $6,150
Warranty Liability $6,150
Explanation:
First calculate the warranty expense:
= TV sales total * Warranty expense averages
= 205,000 * 3%
= $6,150
This will be credited to the Warranty liability account to reflect that the company potentially owes $6,150 in warranty expenses to people who purchased TVs.
Sutton Inc. can produce 100 units of a component part with the following costs: Ch01Q78 If Sutton Inc. can purchase the component part externally for $345,000 and only $28,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision
Question Completion:
Direct materials cost $150,000
Direct labor cost $100,000
Variable overhead $50,000
Fixed overhead $60,000
Answer:
Sutton Inc.
The correct make-or-buy decision is:
Continue to produce the component.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production costs:
Direct materials cost $150,000
Direct labor cost $100,000
Variable overhead $50,000
Fixed overhead $60,000
Production costs = $360,000
Relevant costs to make:
Direct materials cost $150,000
Direct labor cost $100,000
Variable overhead $50,000
Fixed overhead $28,000
Avoidable costs = $328,000
Cost of purchasing the component = $345,000
Difference = $17,000
Sutton will pay $17,000 more if it buys the component than if it makes it. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to make the component than buying from the outside supplier.

The government sector balance is equal to net taxes ________ government expenditure on goods and services. If that number is ________, a government sector surplus is lent to other sectors; if that number is ________, borrowing from other sectors must finance a government deficit.
Answer:
less
positive
negative
Explanation:
The government sector balance is income from taxes less government spending
Government sector deficit occurs when government spending exceeds income of the government.
When deficit increases, debt increases. This is because a deficit would need to be funded by additional borrowing
When there is a surplus, government spending is less than the income of the government. Government is able to lend to other sectors
Peterson Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $6,520,000 for indirect labor and $550,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. If 140,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate
Answer:
$50.50 per machine-hour
Explanation:
The computation of the company's plantwide overhead rate is shown below:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead = Estimated Indirect Labor + Estimated Factory Utilities
= $6,520,000 + $550,000
= $7,070,000
and,
Expected Machine-hours = 140,000
So,
Plantwide Overhear Rate = Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Expected Machine-hours
= $7,070,000 ÷ 140,000
= $50.50 per machine-hour
Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 8,000 for July and 8,200 for August. The direct materials requirement per unit is 3 ounces (oz.). The company has determined that it wants to have safety stock of direct materials on hand at the end of each month to complete 25% of the units budgeted in the following month. There was 6,000 ounces of direct material in inventory at the start of July. The total cost of direct materials purchases for the July direct materials budget, assuming the materials cost $1.20 per ounce, is:____________
A) $28,800.
B) $28,980.
C) $21,600.
D) $28,620.
E) $36,180.
Answer:B) $28,980.
Explanation:
Beginning inventory is 6,000 ounces
Closing inventory = 8,200 × 3 ounces × 25% = 6,150ounces
Budgeted production = 8,000 × 3 ounces=24,000
Direct material to be purchased = Closing inventory + Budgeted production - Beginning inventory= 29,400 ounces
Direct material to be purchased = 6,150ounces +24,000- 6,000 ounces
= 24,150 ounces
Now,For $1.20 per pounce, it would be
= 24,150 ounces × $1.20
= $28,980.
Firms engaged in international trade deal with people they may have never seen, who live in different countries, who speak different languages, and who abide by different legal systems. These factors result in
Answer:
a lack of trust between the parties.
Explanation:
It is correct to say that these factors result in a lack of trust between the parties, due to social, political and cultural differences between different countries.
To reduce the lack of trust between the parties, it is necessary that companies operating in international trade comply with the legal, ethical and moral rules of the location where they are located, maintaining a multicultural relationship with their stakeholders, observing their preferences and desires and aligning its products and services to what local consumers are looking for in a company. Creating value for the consumer increases the company's confidence and positioning in an international market.
You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks (If one of the stocks has a beta of 1 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio
Answer:
2
Explanation:
Beta measures systemic risk
The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
The market has a beta of one. If a portfolio has the same level of systematic risk that is the same as that of the market, its beta would be equal to 1.
If the portfolio is less risky than the market, its beta would be less than one
If the portfolio is more risky than the market, its beta would be greater than one
The beta of a risk free asset is zero
The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio
1 = (1/3 x 1) + (1/3 x 0) + (1/3 x s)
1 = 1/3 + (1/3 x s)
1 - 1/3 = 1/3s
2/3 = 1/3s
s = 2/3 x 3 = 2

Cost of goods sold
Gross margin 25600
Selling expenses 13,500 4,000
General and Admin. expenses 16,100 1000
Net income before tax 51600
Income tax expense 1,200
Net income 32300
For Kelly's Kandles, we have:
Gross margin = Selling expenses + General and Admin. expenses + Net income before tax = 13,500 + 16,100 + 51,600 = 81,200
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross margin = 133200 - 81,200 = 52,000
Income tax expense = Net income before tax - Net income = 51600 - 32300 = 19,300
For Antiques Galore, we have:
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross margin = 40000 - 25600 = 14,400
Net income before tax = Gross margin - Selling expenses - General and Admin. Expenses = 25,600 - 4,000 - 1,000 = 20,600
Income tax expense = Net income before tax - Net income = 20,600 - 1,200 = 19,400

A government began 2013 with a budget deficit and a trade deficit. During the year, the government changed its policy and is now running a budget surplus. If all other factors hold constant, this change in policy will cause:
Answer:
the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease.
Explanation:
A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected or required value.
Generally, deficit in financial accounting is usually as a result of expense exceeding revenue or revenue falling below expenses at a specific period of time.
For instance, when liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account.
Generally, a deficit on the current account ultimately implies that the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.
In 2013, government began with a budget deficit and a trade deficit. During the year, the government changed its policy and is now running a budget surplus.
Hence, this change in policy will cause the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease if all other factors hold constant

Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $396,000 to $684,000 and would decrease the current variable costs of $80 by $20 per unit. The selling price of $120 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $1,188,000 and current break-even units are 9,900. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised contribution margin ratio would be:

50%
Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio = (price - variable costs) / price
variable cost = 80 - 20 = 60
price = 120
(120 - 60) / 120 = 50%
