Answer: A. Departments with more employees are allocated earlier.
Explanation:
In the sequential method, it should be noted that a company allocates the service costs one department at a time. Once the service department cost is allocated by the accountants, the department won't get any other costs from the other service departments.
The statement that is false about the order in which management determines the sequencing of support department allocations under the sequential method of allocating support department costs to production departments is that the departments with more employees are allocated earlier.
Under the sequential method, the department costs that are allocated earlier include having an accurate cost drivers, having a higher cost, or having a large number of support.

The straight-line depreciation method: A. reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year. B. can be used only by small companies. C. reports a higher amount of depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's use. D. reports more depreciation expense in a year when an asset is heavily used and less in a year when the asset is hardly used at all.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
The straight line depreciation method reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year.
An example of the straight line depreciation method
cost of asset = 10,000
salvage value = 0
useful life = 5
straight line depreciation = (10,000 - 0) / 5 = 2000
depreciation expense each year would be 2000

Gideon Company uses the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts. On May 3, the Gideon Company wrote off the $2,000 uncollectible account of its customer, A. Hopkins. The entry or entries Gideon makes to record the write off of the account on May 3 is:______.
Accounts Receivable—A. Hopkins 2,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 2,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 2,000
Bad debts expense 2,000
Accounts Receivable—A. Hopkins 2,000
Bad debts expense 2,000
Cash 2,000
Accounts Receivable—A. Hopkins 2,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 2,000
Accounts Receivable—A. Hopkins 2,000
Cash 2,000
Accounts Receivable—A. Hopkins 2,000
Answer:
DR Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 2,000
CR Accounts Receivable—A. Hopkins 2,000
Explanation:
Because Gideon uses the allowance method, when a debt is written off, it will be written off from the allowance that was created for doubtful debts instead of directly to the bad debt account.
Accounts Receivable will be credited to show that it is decreasing and Allowance for Doubtful debt will be debited because expenses are debited when they increase.
During the year, Hamlet Inc. paid $22,000 to have bond certificates printed and engraved, paid $120,000 in legal fees, paid $18,000 to a CPA for registration information, and paid $280,000 to an underwriter as a commission. What is the amount of bond issue costs
Answer:
the issuance cost of the amount of the bond is $440,000
Explanation:
The computation of the issuance cost of the amount of the bond is given below:
Bond Certificate printing cost $22,000
Legal fees paid $120,000
CPA registration $18,000

Suppose that a company has the following accounts receivable collection pattern: Paid in the month of sale 25% Paid in the month following sale 75% All sales are on credit. If credit sales for January and February are $250,000 and $120,000 respectively, the cash collection for February is:
Answer: $152,500
Explanation:
The cash collection for February would be:
25% of the sales in January as 25% are collected in the following months 75% of February credit sales as 75% are collected in the month of sale= (25% * 250,000) + (75% * 120,000)
= 62,500 + 90,000
= $152,500

b. Learning to play an instrument can be fun but expensive.
c. Individuals who study music tend to be more intelligent.
Answer: c. Individuals who study music tend to be more intelligent.
Explanation:
The underlying assumption of the argument above is that the individuals who study music tend to be more intelligent.
This can be infered in the statement that "Generally, individuals that study music achieve more exceptional scores in subjects such as math and language arts". In this case, a connection was emphasized between academics and music.
Sandoval needs to determine its year-end inventory. The warehouse contains 26,000 units, of which 3,600 were damaged by flood and are not sellable. Another 2,600 units were purchased from Markor Company, FOB shipping point, and are currently in transit. The company also consigns goods and has 4,600 units at a consignee's location. How many units should Sandoval include in its year-end inventory?
a. 29,000.
b. 21,000.
c. 23,000.
d. 19,000.
e. 26,000.
Answer:
the number of units that should Sandoval include in its year-end inventory is 29,600 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units that should Sandoval include in its year-end inventory is given below:
= Opening units + units purchased + units at consignee location - units damaged
= 26,000 + 2,600 + 4,600 - 3,600
= 29,600
Hence, the number of units that should Sandoval include in its year-end inventory is 29,600 units

Explanation:
Pop owns 87% of the common stock of Sugar. On December 31, 2017, Pop's Receivables include $296,880 that Pop advanced to Sugar. What portion (stated in dollars) of the intercompany receivable should be eliminated in preparing Pop's consolidated financial statements
Answer: $296,880
Explanation:
Pop owns more than 50% of Sugar which means that Sugar is a subsidiary of Pop's. When this happens, trade between the two are not shown in the consolidated financial statement unless the goods traded have been sold off to a third party.
As these goods have not, and are still considered accounts receivable to Sugar, the entire amount will be removed from the consolidated financial statements.

Ms. Colonial has just taken out a $150,000 mortgage at an interest rate of 6 percent per year. If the mortgage calls for equal monthly payments for 20 years, what is the amount of each payment? (Assume monthly compounding or discounting.)
How do you solve this w/o a financial calculator?
Answer:
1. The monthly payment is:
= $1,074.65
2. To solve this without a financial calculator, you will calculate the future value of the $150,000 at a discount rate of 0.5% (6%/12) for 240 months. Then the calculated Future Value is divided by 240 to obtain the monthly payment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mortgage = $150,000
Interest rate = 6% per year
Monthly payments = 240 (20 * 12)
Period of mortgage = 20 years
N (# of periods) 240
I/Y (Interest per year) 6
PV (Present Value) 150000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PMT = $1,074.65
Sum of all periodic payments = $257,915.18
Total Interest = $107,915.18
Without a financial calculator (using future value table):
Future value factor of 0.5% for 240 = 1.7194345
Future value of $150,000 = $257,915.18 ($150,000 * 1.7194345)
Monthly payment = $1,074.65 ($257,915/18/240)
A producer of fixed proportion goods X and Y (Q = Qx = Qy) has marginal costs and revenues of MC = 10 Q, MRX = 150 - 6 QX, MRy = 30 - 4 Qy. The producer should produce how many units?
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
b. Qx = 9, Qy = 7.5
c. Qx = 10, Qy = 10
d. Qx = 9, Qy=0
Answer:
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
Explanation:
As per the given data
Q = QX = QY
MRX = 150 - 6QX = 150 - 6Q
MRY = 30 - 4QY = 30 - 4Q
MC = 10Q
Now calculate the Marginal revenue as follow
MR = MRX + MRY
MR = 150 - 6Q + 30 - 4Q
MR = 150 + 30 - 6Q - 4Q
MR = 180 - 10Q
The Equilibrium of the producer will be
MR = MC
180 - 10Q = 10Q
180 = 10Q + 10Q
180 = 20Q
Q = 180 / 20
Q = 9
As we know
Q = Qx = QY
Hence, the value of Qx and QY is 9
From a macroeconomic point of view, increases in ____________ are an addition to aggregate demand, while increases in ___________ are a subtraction from aggregate demand. rates of return; exchange rates exchange rates; rates of return exports; imports imports; exports
Answer:
exports; imports.
Explanation:
Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
Simply stated, macroeconomics studies the overall operation of the national and global economy.
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;
I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.
II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.
From a macroeconomic point of view, increases in exports are an addition to aggregate demand, while increases in imports are a subtraction from aggregate demand.
Aggregate demand (AD) can be defined as the total quantity of output (final goods and services) that is demanded by consumers at all possible price levels in an economy at a particular time.

Answer:
63.09%
Explanation:
Note Missing question is attached as picture below
Average total assets = (Opening total assets+Closing total assets)/2
Average total assets = ($396,000 + $257,000) / 2
Average total assets = $653,000 / 2
Average total assets = $326,500
Return on total assets = (Net income + Interest expense)/Average total assets
Return on total assets = ($181,000 + $25,000) / $326,500
Return on total assets = $206,000 / $326,500
Return on total assets = 0.6309342
Return on total assets = 63.09%
Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $140,000, $240,000, and $54,000, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the estimated annual usage are number of setups 2,000, machine hours 24,000, and number of inspections 1,200.
Required:
Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Answer:
Machine setups= $70 per setup
Machining= $10 per machine hour
Inspection= $45 per inspection
Explanation:
To calculate the allocation rate for each activity, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setups= 140,000 / 2,000= $70 per setup
Machining= 240,000 / 24,000= $10 per machine hour
Inspection= 54,000 / 1,200= $45 per inspection
The language of price controls
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or non-binding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
The government prohibits grocery stores from selling
milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
The government has instituted a legal minimum price
of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
Due to new regulations, grocery stores that would like
to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are
prohibited from doing so.
Answer:
Price ceiling binding
price floor non binding
price ceiling binding
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
The minimum price is $2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a non binding price floor
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
Effects of a binding price ceiling
1. It leads to shortages
2. it leads to the development of black markets
3. it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
4. It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus
the maximum price is 2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a binding price ceiling

On January 1, 2021, Albacore Company had 260,000 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. Albacore issued a 12% stock dividend on July 1, 2021. On October 1, 2021, Albacore retired 9,000 of its common shares. When calculating basic earnings per share for 2021, what is the appropriate number of shares for Albacore to use in the denominator of the EPS fraction
Answer: 288,950 shares
Explanation:
The number of shares to use is:
= Beginning stock + Stock dividend - Stock retired
Stock dividend:
= 260,000 * 12%
= 31,200 shares
Stock retired:
= 9,000 * 3/12 months because it was retired in October
= 2,250 shares
Number of shares:
=260,000 + 31,200 - 2,250
= 288,950 shares

Compute Arrow's operating income for the month of May using the variable-costing method.
Answer:
Net operating income= $207,500
Explanation:
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
First, we will determine the total unitary variable overhead:
total unitary variable overhead= 90 + 25= $115
Now, we can calculate the total contribution margin:
Total CM= 11,500*(220 - 115)
Total CM= $1,207,500
Finally, the net operating income:
Net operating income= 1,207,500 - 600,000 - 400,000
Net operating income= $207,500
On June 30, 2021, Moran Corporation issued $9.0 million of its 8% bonds for $8.1 million. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. The bonds are dated June 30, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
First step
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021 = $9,000,000*8%*6/12
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021= $360,000
Second step
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021 = $8,100,000 * 10% * 6/12
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021= $405,000
Last step
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021 = $405,000 - $360,000
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021=$45,000
Therefore by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202 will be $45,000

The two main reasons why someone who has never used a drug in his or her life might refuse a test at work are provided below:
1. If there's no health related reason for the employer to perform the test.
2. When there's no reason by the employee to believe that drug use is occurring.
It should be noted that an employee can refuse a testing unless testing is mandatory for the job or when there's reasonable suspicion. In a situation where there's suspicion, then ethically, the drug test is reasonable as an employee who uses drug can be less productive than others.
Based on this argument, the privacy of the employee should be respected. For example, in a scenario whereby an employer request for a urine sample of the employee, this is an invasion of privacy. Even if the worker took the substance tbe previous night, he or she didn't take it while at work and hence, that isn't the concern of the employer.
Also, there is an argument of freedom. As individuals, we have the right to pursue our own happiness. This is a legal argument.
The following information is available for a company's cost of sales over the last five months. Month Units sold Cost of sales January 470 $ 33,800 February 870 $ 40,500 March 1,950 $ 52,500 April 2,470 $ 64,500 Using the high-low method, the estimated total fixed cost is: Multiple Choice $26,586. $106,344. $53,172. $17,533. $30,700.
TC Units
$64,500 (High) 2,470
} $30,700 } 2000
$33,800( Low) 470
VC per Unit = 30 700 ÷ 2000 = $15.35
when 470 units are sold,( substitute vc per unit = 15.35)
TC = FC + VC
33, 800 = FC + ( 15.35× 470)
FC = $ 26 586
