Given the following cost and activity observations for Smithson Company's utilities, use the high-low method to calculate Smithson's fixed costs per month. Cost Machine Hours January $88,020 9,800 February 150,430 17,700 March 103,350 11,700 April 129,310 15,000 a.$33,900 b.$18,000 c.$8,500 d.$10,600
Answer:
d. $10,600
Explanation:
Variable cost = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost = ($150,430 - $88,020) / (17,700 - 9,800)
Variable cost = $62,410 / 7,900
Variable cost = $7.9
Fixed cost = Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit*Highest activity units)
Fixed cost = $150,430 - ($7.9*17,700)
Fixed cost = $150,430 - $139,830
Fixed cost = $10,600

Antoine transfers property with a tax basis of $535 and a fair market value of $652 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $555 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $97 on the property transferred. What is Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange
Answer: $438
Explanation:
Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange will be gotten as the adjusted basis of asset exchanged which will then be decreased by the liability assumed on the property that's transfered. This will be:
= $535 - $97
= $438
Therefore, Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange is $438.
About 1.4 billion pounds of American, cheddar and other kinds of cheese is socked away at cold-storage warehouses across the country, the biggest stockpile since federal record-keeping began a century ago...Many [cheese companies] are paying to store their excess cheese in hopes demand and prices will improve. Source: Heather Haddon, "America Can't Move Its Cheese," Wall Street Journal, December 17, 2018. What effect did the strategy of warehousing cheese have on the supply of cheese? Using the line drawing tool, show the effect of cheese producers storing cheese in warehouses rather than offering it for sale. Properly label your line. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Since the cheese companies are paying to store their excess cheese in hopes demand and prices will improve, then this will bring about the reduction in the supply of cheese in the market but the demand for cheese will still be constant.
Due to the fact that there is shortage of supply, the supply curve will shift leftward and as a result of this, the price if cheese will increase and the quantity demanded by the customers will then decrease as a result of price increase.

Direct materials $30
Direct labor 18
Fixed factory overhead 22
Variable factory overhead 14
Required:
Determine the cost of the finished goods inventory reported on the balance sheet under (a) the absorption costing concept and (b) the variable costing concept.

And,
Variable costing is
= ($30 + $18 + 14) × 21,500
= $1,333,000
In this way the cost of the finished goods inventory should be determined

The most recent financial statements for Xporter, Inc., are shown here:
Income Statement Balance Sheet
Sales $5,700 Current assets $ 3,900
Current liabilities $ 2,200 Costs 4,200
Fixed assets 8,100 Long-term debt 3,750
Taxable income $1,500 Equity 6,050
Taxes (34%) 510 Total $12,000 Total $12,000
Net income $ 990
Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 40 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year’s sales are projected to increase by exactly 15 percent. What is the external financing needed?
Solution :
Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)
= 5,700 x (1 + 15%)
= $ 6555
Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)
= 4200 x (1 + 15%)
= $ 4830
Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)
= $ 1725
Taxes (34%) = 510 x (1+15%)
= $ 586.5
Net income = sales - cost - taxes
= 6555 - 4830 - 586.5
= $ 1138.5
Calculation of total asset :
Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15
= $ 4485
Fixed asset = 8100 x 1.15
= $ 9315
Total asset = 4485 + 9315
= $ 13800
Calculation of total liabilities
Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15
= $ 2530
Long term debt = $ 3,750
Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )
= $ 7189
Total liabilities = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189
= $ 13, 469
Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469
= $ 331

In a monopolistic competition, the barriers to entry are low in this industry, and profits for new entrants are small. The firms in the industry possess some market power and therefore can charge a price that's higher price than a competitor. It should also be noted that a zero economic profit is earned in the long run.

Maverick law office currently orders ink refills 120 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 40% of the $10 unit cost and that annual demand is about 480 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its current action (order quantity) be optimal
Answer:
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Demand= 480 units per year
Order cost= $10
Holding cost= 10*0.4= $4
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*480*10) / 4]
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √(2,400)
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units

What is ethical violation?A documented company's code of ethics, mission, vision, values, and culture are violated when something is spoken, published, or done that does so. Additionally, we are aware that moral transgressions laugh in the face of accepted social norms.
Most business professionals' ethical conduct is governed by codes of conduct. Business infractions including discrimination, safety issues, or poor working conditions are most frequently observed.
Additionally, fraud, theft, and conflicts of interest. Many of these cross the line into illegal territory that is dealt with outside the corporation and are not merely morally bad.
Customers may be charged for services they did not receive when there is improper or fraudulent billing. This occurs most frequently in professions where the person who pays the bill is different from the person who received the services.
Due to the frequency of this particular ethical breach, many insurance companies have started providing consumers with a list of services that may fall under this category, enticing them to report any irregularities.

Bonita Industries uses flexible budgets. At normal capacity of 21000 units, budgeted manufacturing overhead is $168000 variable and $360000 fixed. If Bonita had actual overhead costs of $546000 for 26000 units produced, what is the difference between actual and budgeted costs
Answer:
$22,000 Favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the difference between actual and budgeted cost is given below:
Budgeted Variable Manufacturing Overhead Per Unit is
= $168,000 ÷ 21,000 units
= $8
The Fixed Overhead = $360,000
Now
For 26,000 Units, total Overhead Should be:
Variable = 26,000 × 8 = $208,000
Fixed = $360,000
Total = $568,000
And,
Actual Overhead Cost = $546,000
So,
Difference between Actual and Budgeted Cost is
= $568,000 - $546,000
= $22,000 Favorable
