Estimated costs for activity cost pools and other item(s) are as follows: Machining $500000 Assembling 200000 Advertising 450000 Inspecting and testing 175000 Total estimated overhead isA. $875000. B. $1150000. C. $1325000. D. $700000.
Answer:
A) $875000
Explanation:
total estimated manufacturing overhead costs = machining costs + assembling costs + inspecting and testing costs = $500,000 + $200,000 + $175,000 = $875,000
Advertising costs ($450,000) are included under sales and administrative costs, not production costs.
To calculate the total estimated overhead, the costs provided for various activity cost pools such as machining, assembling, advertising, and inspecting and testing should be added together. The sum of these costs is $1,325,000, which matches option C.
Explanation:The question involves calculating the total estimated overhead by adding the costs for different activity cost pools. To find the total estimated overhead, we must sum the given individual cost estimates:
Machining: $500,000Assembling: $200,000Advertising: $450,000Inspecting and testing: $175,000Adding these amounts together equals:
$500,000 + $200,000 + $450,000 + $175,000 = $1,325,000
Therefore, the correct answer for the total estimated overhead is $1,325,000, which corresponds to option C in the multiple-choice question provided by the student.

If you purchase for $1,000 a bond that pays $40 annually to the holder, and then "the" (that is, the market) interest rate rises to 8 percent, the price of that bond would now be:
The price of a bond that pays $40 annually will drop to $500 if the market interest rate rises to 8 percent, as the bond's yield must increase to remain appealing to investors.
If you purchase a bond for $1,000 that pays $40 annually to the holder, and then the market interest rate rises to 8 percent, the price of the bond would drop to maintain the new market yield.
To calculate the new price of the bond, you need to determine what price would make the $40 payment equal an 8 percent return. Therefore, the new price of the bond is $500 ($40 is 8 percent of $500).
When the market interest rates increase, existing bonds with lower interest rates become less appealing to investors.
To compensate for this, their market price drops to provide a yield that is attractive relative to the new, higher interest rates.
The effect is that the yield on these older bonds must increase to match the current market conditions, which is achieved by lowering the bond's price.

Explanation:
During the year, Apex Co. sold an unprofitable component of the company. The component had a net loss from operations during the period of $150,000 and its assets sold at a loss of $100,000. Apex reported income from continuing operations before taxes of $128,387. All items are taxed at 30%. How would this item appear in the income statement?
Answer: In the Apex income statement,
Income from continuing operations before taxes $128,387
Taxation $36,483.9
Profit for the year from continuing operations $164,870.9
Loss from discontinued
operations ($175,000)
Loss for the year ($10,129.1)
Explanation: First, there was a tax expense on the profit from continuing operations to the tune of $38,516.1 (30% of $128,387) because the company made a gain. Subsequently, there was a deferred tax asset on the loss sustained on discontinued operations of $75,000 therefore resulting in tax asset of $36,483.9.
There is usually a need to report the profit from continuing operations separately from that of discontinued operations so that actual profit and cash flows from continuing operations can be easily recognizable from that of discontinued operations. In that way, the users of the financial statements would be able to distinguish between the two profit lines.
All purchase/sale transactions are made on credit. The company uses the FIFO method and perpetual inventory system to record transactions. The entry to record the transaction on December 10 will involve a debit to Cost of Goods Sold for _____.
The entry to record the transaction on December 10 will involve a debit to Cost of Goods Sold for the cost of the oldest inventory on hand.
Explanation:When using the FIFO method and perpetual inventory system to record transactions, the entry to record a purchase/sale transaction on December 10 involves a debit to Cost of Goods Sold for the cost of the oldest inventory on hand.
This means that the cost of the first inventory items purchased will be transferred to the Cost of Goods Sold account. The specific dollar amount will depend on the cost of those items.
For example, if the cost of the oldest inventory on hand is $100, the entry to record the transaction would be a debit to Cost of Goods Sold for $100.

Revenue generated by room sales during the remaining days of the month will:_______.a. decrease in proportion to the additional room sales.b. cover the fixed costs associated with those additional room sales.c. be pure profit for the motel.d. increase at a faster rate than the costs associated with those sales.
Answer:
D) increase at a faster rate than the costs associated with those sales.
Explanation:
If the break even point was reached during the 20th day of the month, then any revenue generated during the remaining 10-11 days will increase net profits. The amount of net profit increase will be determined by the contribution margin of each service provided. The contribution margin = net sales - variable costs. Since the fixed costs have already been covered, the contribution margin will be equal to the net profit.

Intel has just paid a dividend of $62 per stock. Intel is expected to pay regular annual dividend indefinitely. The growth rate of Intel dividend is expected to be 10% in the first three years and then 3% indefinitely. If you require a return of 8%, how much are you willing to pay (in $) for the stock? Round your answer to at least 2 decimal places.
Answer:
I will pay $1,364
Explanation:
Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is calculated by calculating present value of future dividend payment.
Formula to calculate the value of stock
Dividend in first years = 62 x 110% = $68.2
Price = Dividend / ( Rate or return - growth rate )
Price = $68.2 / ( 8% - 3% )
Price = $68.2 / 5%
Price = $68.2 / 0.05
Price = $1,364
Using the above information, fill in the chart below with the amounts that should be reported for total cost of goods sold for December and the cost of ending inventory at Dec 31 under both the FIFO and LIFO cost flow assumptions.
Answer: please refer to te explanation section
Explanation:
The question is incomplete , to calculate inventory balance under FIFO or LIFO we need inventory transactions. The Transactions were not given in the question. I will explain the FIFO and LIFO concepts and also provide an example to show how to use these concepts.
FIFO Costing Method
FIFO costing Method is an inventory costing system that is based on the assumption that stock items purchased or stock items placed in inventory first will be sold first hence the acronym FIFO which stands for first in first out. the balance of inventory at the end of the period thus shows stock most recently purchased stock items or stock items placed in inventory.
LIFO Costing
Method LIFO costing Method is an inventory costing system that is based on the assumption that stock items most recently Purchased or stock items most recently placed in inventory will be sold first, hence the acronym LIFO which stands for last in first out.
example
10 February 2019 Purchased inventory for $1000. 100 units costing $10 each.
15 February 2019 Purchased inventory for $4500. 300 units costing $15
20 February 2019 Sold 150 units of inventory.
FIFO method
150 units were sold, therefore the first 100 units out of 150 will taken from inventory purchased on the 10th of February and 50 units will take from inventory purchased on the 15th of February. The inventory Balance will 300 units minus 50 units
inventory Balance = (300 - 50) x 10 = 250 x 15 = 3750
LIFO method
150 units were sold, the entire 150 units sold will be taken from inventory purchased on 15th of February. inventory balance will 300 units minus 150 units sold plus 100 units from inventory purchased on the 10th.
inventory Balance = (30 -150) x 15 + 100 x 10 = (150 x 15) + (100 x 10) = 3250

In a staff meeting, Mark is employing Dr. De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats. Doug expresses all the positives about being open on Thanksgiving. Rashmi presents the data from the last three years on sales from that day. Rafael explains why staying open late on Thanksgiving will not be in the employees or client’s best interests. Sophie explores using the Internet only and not having the brick and mortar stores open. Which color hat would Rafael wear?
Answer:
B) black
Explanation:
Dr. De Bono's decision making technique assigns a hat color to each participant, and the participant's role is determined by the color of the hat. Then participants exchange hats in order to be able to consider another and possible arguments in favor or against a proposal.
White hat ⇒ just the facts please.Yellow hat ⇒ explore the positives and probe for value and benefit. Black hat ⇒ the devil's advocate or why things will not work. Red hat ⇒ express emotions and share feelings. Green hat ⇒ focuses on the possibilities, alternatives, and new ideas. Blue hat ⇒ manages and controls the process.The correct answer is the Black Hat.
In Dr. Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats method, each hat represents a different mode of thinking. Rafael is expressing caution and concern about the potential negative consequences of staying open late on Thanksgiving for both employees and clients. The Black Hat is associated with caution and critical judgment, where one looks for weaknesses, problems, and what could go wrong. Rafael's analysis aligns with the critical thinking and risk assessment that the Black Hat represents.
To summarize:
- White Hat: Focus on facts and figures, like Rashmi presenting sales data.
- Red Hat: Emotional view, expressing feelings and intuition without any need for justification.
- Black Hat: Logical negative, looking at the cautious and critical side, focusing on potential problems and risks. This is the hat Rafael would wear.
- Yellow Hat: Logical positive, optimistic view, focusing on values and benefits. This is the hat Doug would wear as he expresses the positives.
- Green Hat: Creative thinking, exploring new ideas and alternatives, like Sophie's suggestion of using the Internet only.
- Blue Hat: Process control, organizing thoughts and managing the thinking process.
Therefore, Rafael would be wearing the Black Hat as he is focusing on the potential negative consequences of the proposal.

A state government condemned Cory Co.'s parcel of real estate. Cory will receive $750,000 for this property, which has a carrying amount of $575,000. Cory incurred the following costs as a result of the condemnation: Appraisal fees to support a $750,000 value $2,500 Attorney fees for the closing with the state 3,500 Attorney fees to review contract to acquire replacement property 3,000 Title insurance on replacement property 4,000 What amount of cost should Cory use to determine the gain on the condemnation?
Answer:
The amount of cost Cory should use to determine the gain on the condemnation is $581,000
Explanation:
Carrying amount $575,000
appraisal fees to support a $750,000 value $2,500
attorney fees for the closing with the state $3,500
Attorney fees to review contract to acquire replacement property $3,000
Title insurance on replacement property $4,000
The amount of cost Cory should use to determine the gain on the condemnation compared to $750,000 received from state = Carrying amount + appraisal fees to support a $750,000 value + attorney fees for the closing with the state
= $575,000 + $2,500 + $3,500 = $581,000
The Attorney fees to review contract to acquire replacement property and Title insurance on replacement property reduces the net proceeds from the state thereby decreasing the gain. The $3,000 and $4,000 amounts pertaining to the replacement property are not associated with the existing property and do not affect the gain on its condemnation.
