Answer:

Total allocated overhead= $1,840,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Department Expected use of Driver Cost

Ordering and Receiving 2,000 $800,000

Mixing 50,000 1,000,000

Testing 1,500 900,000

Production information for Slime is as follows:

Expected use of Driver

Ordering and Receiving 1,600

Mixing 30,000

Testing 1,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Ordering and Receiving= 800,000/2,000= $400 per order

Mixing= 1,000,000/50,000= $20 per mixing hour

Testing= 900,000/1,500 = $600 per test

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Ordering and Receiving= 400*1,600= 640,000

Mixing=20*30,000= 600,000

Testing= 600*1,000= 600,000

Total allocated overhead= $1,840,000

Suppose a firm is producing in the long run. When it produces 4,000 units of output, its total cost is $8,000. When it produces

Scilla [17]

Answer:

increasing then decreasing

Explanation:

production level total cost average total cost

4,000 $8,000 $2.00

4,200 $8,200 $1.95

4,400 $8,800 $2.00

Returns to scale measure the change in productivity, or how much input is needed to produce a unit of output.

increasing returns to scale: output increases in a greater proportion than inputs
constant returns to scale: output increases in the same proportion as inputs
decreasing returns to scale: output increases in a lower proportion than inputs

Since first the average total cost decreased, total output increased in a greater proportion than inputs ⇒ increasing returns of scale. But then the situation reversed and total output increased in a lower proportion than inputs ⇒ decreasing returns of scale.

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,201 and matures in 21 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a cou

Ann [662]

Answer:

the after tax cost of debt is 3.90 %.

Explanation:

The Cost of debt is the rate required on the bond and this is calculated as follows :

PV = - $2,201

n = 21 × 2 = 42

PMT = ($2,000 × 7.38 %) ÷ 2 = $73.80

P/YR = 2

FV = $2,000

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the Pre-tax Cost of debt, r is 6.4963% or 6.50 % (2 decimal places)

After tax cost of debt = Interest rate × (1 - tax rate)

= 6.50 % × (1 - 0.40)

= 3.90 %

Bluebird Mfg. has received a special one-time order for 15,000 bird feeders at $3 per unit. Bluebird currently produces and sell

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Net income will increase by $11,250

Explanation:

Provided information,

Current sales = 75,000 units which represents 80% capacity

Therefore, 100% capacity = $\frac{75,000}{0.8} = 93,750 units$

Fixed cost at 100% capacity = $1.25 $\times$ 93,750 = $117,187.50

Therefore,

Current net income

Sales = 75,000 $\times$ $7.00 = $525,000

Less: Variable cost = 75,000 $\times$ $3.50 = $262,500

Less: Fixed Cost = $117,187.50

Net Operating Income = $145,312.50

Now with the additional order, which is of 15,000 units the additional ideal capacity of 20% will be utilized, further no fixed cost will be incurred, as the entire fixed cost for 100% capacity is utilized, thus

Sales = 15,000 $\times$ $3 = $45,000

Less: Variable cost = 15,000 $\times$ $2.25 = $33,750

Net Income = $11,250

Thus, the net income will increase by $11,250

Cr Bonds payable $280,000

Cr Premium on Bonds payable $5,600

The June 30 and 31 December Year 1 interest on the bonds are recorded thus:

30 June

Dr Interest expense(bal fig) $7,840

Dr Premium on bonds $560

Cr Cash $8400

31 December

Dr Interest expense(bal fig) $7,840

Dr Premium on bonds $560

Cr Cash $8400

The June 30 and 31 December Year 2 interest on the bonds are recorded thus:

Dr Interest expense(bal fig) $7,840

Dr Premium on bonds $560

Cr Cash $8400

31 December

Dr Interest expense(bal fig) $7,840

Dr Premium on bonds $560

Cr Cash $8400

Explanation:

The amount realized from the bond is calculated thus:

$280,000*102%=$285,600

Premium on bond=Bonds proceeds-par value

=$285,600-$280,000

=$5,600

Semi-annual amortization of bond premium=$5,600/5*6/12

=$560

Semi-annual interest payment=$280,000*6%*6/12

=$8,400

Snow Co. began operations on January 2, 2017. It employs 15 people who work 8-hour days. Each employee earns 10 paid vacation da

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Given that,

Number of employees who work for 8-hours a day = 15

Annual paid leaves for each employee = 10

Average hourly wage rate(2017) = $24.00

Average hourly wage rate(2018) = $25.50

Average vacation days used by each employee in 2018 = 9

Therefore, the Journal entries are as follows:

(1) On 2017,

Wages expense A/c Dr. $28,800

To vacation wages payable $28,800

( 15 × 8 hrs × 10 days × 24)

(vacation wages)

(2) On 2018,

Wages expense A/c Dr. $1,620

Vacation wages payable(15 × 8 hrs × 9 days × 24) Dr. $25,920

To cash ( 15 × 8 hrs × 9 days × 25.50) $27,540

(cash paid for vacation wages)

(3) On 2018,

Wages expense A/c Dr. $30,600

To vacation wages payable $30,600

( 15 × 8 hrs × 10 days × 25.50)

(vacation wages due in 2018)
