The Josey Company uses the weighted average method. The beginning work in process consists of 6,000 units (100% completed as to materials and 50% complete as to conversion costs). The number of units completed was 130,000. The ending work in process consists of 10,000 units (100% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs). What are the equivalent units of production for conversion costs
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 135,000 units
Explanation:
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
Conversion costs:
Units completed and transferred out= 133,000 units
Ending WIP= 10,000*0.2= 2,000 units
Total equivalent units= 135,000 units

Under the aging of receivables method, Crimson Inc. expects it will not collect 2% of the amount not yet due, 16% of the amount past due for up to 180 days, and 27% of the amount past due for more than 180 days. The allowance account had a debit balance of $3,800 before adjustment. After adjusting for bad debt expense, what is the ending balance of the allowance account
Answer:
$65,290
Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the allowance account is shown below:-
Bad Debts for accounts receivable not yet due is
= $540,000 × 0.02
= $10,800
Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for up-to 180 days:
= $170,000 × 0.16
= $27,200
Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for more than 180 days:
= $87,000 × 0.27
= $23,490
Ending balance of Allowance account:
= $3,800 + $10,800 + $27,200 + $23,490
= $65,290

Products should be specified by brand because: a. price levels of brand items are low b. the number of potential suppliers is restricted c. it is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item d. all of the above e. a and b above.
Answer:
C. It is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item.
Explanation:
A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
Generally, these products are manufactured and distributed through different marketing channels to various wholesalers or retailers before it gets to the consumers or customers.
Hence, each product should be distinguished from another through its brand name in order to enhance easier identification by the customers.
Products should be specified by brand because it is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item. Thus, when a supplier such as a retailer or wholesaler wishes to place an order to a manufacturer, he or she should specify the order by brand.
If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Multiple Choice Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. One asset increases $4,500 and another asset decreases $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Equity increases $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Explanation:
An asset are the properties which a business or an organization owns. An asset possess an economic value.
Since the equipment purchased is an asset, this will lead to an increase of assets by $4500 and since it was bought on credit and hasn't been paid for, liabilities will also increase by $4500.
When the stock price follows a random walk the price today is said to be equal to the prior period price plus the expected return for the period with any remaining difference to the actual return due to:_________
a. A predictable amount based on the past prices.
b. A component based on new information unrelated to past prices.
c. The security's risk.
d. The risk free rate.
e. None of the above.
Answer:
e. None of the above.
Explanation:
When the stock price follows a random walk the price today is said to be equal to the prior period price plus the expected return for the period with any remaining difference to the actual return due due to new information related to the stock". This is because any new information on stock which is unrelated to stock prices will lead to an increase/decrease in the stock price over a period of time.

Troy, a cash basis taxpayer, owns an office building. His records reflect the following for 20X1. On March 1, 20X1, office B was leased for twelve months for $12,000. A $900 security deposit was received which will be used as the last month's rent. On September 30, 20X1, the tenant in office A paid Troy $3,600 to cancel the lease expiring on March 31, 20X1. The lease of the tenant in office C expired on December 31, 20X1, and the tenant left improvements valued at $1,400. The improvements were not in lieu of any required rent. Considering just these four amounts, what amount must Troy include in rental income on his income tax return for 20X1?
a. $17,900
b. $17,000
c. $16,500
d. $13,800
Answer:
c. $16,500
Explanation:
The rental revenue from office B must be included even though 3 months of rent belong to 20x2 = $12,000 + the $900 security deposit (last moth of rent). The $3,600 received for canceling the lease of office A should also be included. Total rental income = $12,000 + $900 + $3,600 = $16,500.
Cash basis taxpayers recognize revenue when they collect money, and recognize expenses when they pay for them. There are some exceptions that apply to prepaid expenses or unearned revenue. This is known as the 12 month rule. It means that if the cash collection or payment do not extend for more than 12 months after they were made, then they can be recorded as either revenues or expenses during the current period. Since the rent was prepaid in advance for 12 months, then all the cash received must be considered revenue.

What is income?Income is defined as the consumption and saving opportunity achieved by a commodity within a nominal time structure, which is commonly represented in monetary words. Income is challenging to describe conceptually, and the explanation may be further across areas.
Computation of change in income:
According to the given information,
Regular price = $5.
Discount Rate=40%
Then sales price would be:
[tex]\text{Sale Price}= \text{Regular Price}(1- \text{Discount Rate})\\\\\text{Sale Price}=\$5 \text (1 - 0.40)\\\\\text{Sale Price}= \$3[/tex]
Then the incremental cost is:
[tex]\text{Incremental Cost}=\dfrac{ \text{Variable Cost}}{\text{Units Produced}}\\\\ \text{Incremental Cost}=\dfrac{\$750,000}{\$300,000}\\\\ \text{Incremental Cost}=2.5[/tex]
Increase in income per unit:
[tex]\text{Increase In Income}=\text{Sales Price}- \text{Incremental Cost}\\\\\text{Increase In Income}=\$3-\$2.5\\\\\text{Increase In Income}=0.50[/tex]
Therefore, the increase in income is :
[tex]=\text{Per unit Increase In Income}\times\text{Total Units}\\\\=0.50\times60,000\\\\=\$30,000[/tex]

Rufus Inc. and Hardy Company are negotiating a nontaxable exchange of business properties. Rufus’s property has a $50,000 tax basis and a $77,500 FMV. Hardy’s property has a $60,000 tax basis and a $90,000 FMV. Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work? How much boot must be paid? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?
Answer:
Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work?
Rufus must pay boot since the FMV of its property is less than the FMV of Hardy's property.How much boot must be paid?
$90,000 - $77,500 = $12,500Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired?
Rufus doesn't have any gain, and the tax basis for the new asset will be $50,000 + $12,500 = $62,500Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?
Since Hardy's property basis is $60,000 and it would be receiving $50,000 (Rufus's property) + $12,500 = $62,500, then it must recognize a $2,500 gain. The basis of Hardy's new property will be $62,500.Como podemos definir la Maquila.

Which kind of monetary policy would you expect in response to high inflation:
a. Expansionary
b. Contractionary
Answer:
B. Contractionary Monetary Policy
Explanation:
According to Investopedia, inflation is a quantitative measure of the rate at which average price level of selected goods and services in an economy increases over a period of time which causes the purchasing power of the currency to fall.
One popular method of controlling high inflation is the Contractionary Monetary Policy. The aim of the contractionary monetary policy is to cut the supply of money within an economy by decreasing bond prices and increasing interest rates through the central bank.
When the Central Bank increases their interests rates, banks become forced to increase their rates as well which discourages consumers from borrowing and makes saving more attractive.
These help to cut down spending, causes prices of goods and services to drop and consequently causes inflation to slow down.
The average price for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps fell almost 4 cents in March to $2.50 a gallon. The price of crude oil dropped to $43.46 per barrel on March 17, the lowest since March 2009.
Answer: C. lower the cost of producing gasoline and increase the supply of gasoline
Explanation:
Gasoline is derived from the distillation of crude oil which means that Crude oil is the main raw material in the production of gasoline. This means that if crude oil sees a reduction in price, input costs for gasoline will decrease as well.
Producers of gasoline will take advantage of this to buy more crude oil and therefore process and make more gasoline which will increase the supply of gasoline in the market and reduce its price.

4. Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of steel falls substantially. The demand for labor among steel-producing firms in Pennsylvania will . The demand for labor among automobile-producing firms in Michigan, for which steel is an input, will . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as unemployment. Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program
Answer:
decrease
increase
structural unemployment
Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively
Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
Explanation:
If the world price of steel falls, the profits that can be earned from producing steel would fall. This would make steel-producing firms cutback on production. If they do this, they would lead less labour, so the demand for labour would fall.
The decrease in the price of steel would make purchasing steel by automobile companies cheaper. This would lead to a rise in production and as a result an increase in the demand for labour.
Structural unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of labour and the jobs available. Measures taken to increase information on available jobs would reduce this type of unemployment
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 17 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.40 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 7.90 percent?
Answer:
$196.91
Explanation:
The computation of the current value is shown below:
D1 = ($2.4 × 1.17) = 2.808
D2 = ($2.808 × 1.17) = 3.28536
D3 = (3.28536 × 1.17) = 3.8438712
D4 = (3.8438712 × 1.17) = 4.4973293
Now
Value after year 4 is
= (D4 × Growth rate) ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)
= (4.4973293 × 1.06) ÷ (0.079 - 0.06)
= 250.903635
Now the current value is
= Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor
=$2.808 ÷ 1.079 + 3.28536 ÷ 1.079^2 + 3.8438712 ÷ 1.079^3 + 4.4973293 ÷ 1.079^4 + 250.903635 ÷ 1.079^4
= $196.91
You invest 1,000 in a project today. the project will generate a cash flow of 3186 three years from now. if the interest rate is 3%, what is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
NPV= $1,915.64
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $3,186
Number of periods= 3 years
Interest rate= 3%
Initial investment (Io)= $1,000
To calculate the net present value, we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
NPV= -1,000 + (3,186/1.03^3)
NPV= $1,915.64
Speicher sells sports shoes and formal shoes. Sports shoes sell for $110 each and cost $50 in variable expenses to make. Formal shoes sell for $220 and cost $100 in variable expenses to make. Speicher’s fixed expenses are $50,000. If 35% of his revenues are from sports shoes, what is Speicher’s weighted average contribution margin ratio? Provide your answer in decimal form (i.e. 65.2% = 0.652) and to three decimal places. Do not round intermediary calculations.
Answer:
weighted contribution margin ratio = 0.545
Explanation:
contribution margin of sport shoes = $110 - $50 = $60
contribution margin ratio of sport shoes = $60 / $110 = 0.545454
contribution margin of formal shoes = $220 - $100 = $120
contribution margin ratio of sport shoes = $120 / $220 = 0.545454
35% of total revenues come from sport shoes
weighted contribution margin ratio (it is the same for both products) = 0.545454 = 0.545
Q 20.27: Liberty Bicycles currently sells unassembled bikes for $240 each. The variable production costs for each bike are $35 and the fixed production costs are $72. Liberty is thinking about selling the bikes fully assembled for $300 each. The variable costs for assembling one bike will be $18 and the fixed costs will be $31. Given these figures, Liberty will increase its net income per unit by ________ if it opts to assemble the bikes.
Answer:
$11
Explanation:
Find the incremental effect on net income of assembling the bikes as follows :
Incremental analysis for assembling the bikes per unit
Sales ( $300 - $240) $60
Less incremental costs :
Variable costs ($18)
Fixed production costs ($31)
Incremental Income/(loss) $11
Conclusion
Thus Liberty will increase its net income per unit by $11 if it opts to assemble the bikes.
A company distributes a product that sells for $50 per unit. Variable expenses are $10 per unit, and fixed expenses total $15,000 annually. Assume that the company sold 4,000 units last year. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $30,000 increase in advertising expenditures, would increase annual unit sales by 50%. If these changes were made, by how much would net operating income increase or decrease?
Answer:
Income will increase by $20,000.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the current income:
Current income= 4,000*(50 - 10) - 15,000= $145,000
Now, the new selling price, fixed costs, and sales in units:
Selling price= 50*0.9= $45
Fixed costs= $45,000
Sales= 4,000*1.5= 6,000
New income= 6,000*(45 - 10) - 45,000= $165,000
Difference= 165,000 - 145,000= 20,000
Income will increase by $20,000.
