If inventory is being valued at cost and the price level is steadily rising, which of the three costing methods (FIFO, LIFO, weighted-average) will yield the lowest annual income tax expense?

Answers

Answer:

LIFO                

Explanation:

It will be the one that give higher Cost of goods sold. We also know that:

Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Inventory Purchases - Closing Inventory

So this means the lower the closing inventory the higher the cost of goods sold and in time of price increases it will be more appropriate to use LIFO method which will reduce the Closing Inventory and this will increase the cost of goods sold and thus decrease in profit. This reduced profit means that the tax expense will also be lower in value.

Similarly the second attractive option will be the Weighted Average and the least attractive option would be FIFO costing method.

Paul Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2016. On September 30, 2016, Paul sold 50,000 shares of common stock for cash. Paul also had 11,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding throughout 2016. The preferred stock is $100 par, 5%, and is convertible into 3 shares of common for each share of preferred. Paul also had 520, 8%, convertible bonds outstanding throughout 2016. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. The bonds sold originally at face value. Reported net income for 2016 was $320,000 with a 40% tax rate. Common shareholders received $2.20 per share dividends after preferred dividends were paid in 2016. RequiredCompute basic and diluted earnings per share for 2016. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

basic earnings per share (EPS) = $2.36

diluted EPS = $1.64

Explanation:

weighted average common stocks:

January 1: 100,000 shares x 12/12 = 100,000

September 30: sold 50,000 shares x 3/12 = 12,500

total 112,500

net income = $320,000

preferred dividends = $100 x 5% x 11,000 = $55,000

diluted shares:

preferred stocks = 11,000 x 3 = 33,000

convertible bonds = 520 x 30 = 15,600

total 48,600

basic earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average shares = ($320,000 - $55,000) / 112,500 = $2.36

diluted EPS = (net income - preferred dividends )/ (weighted average shares + convertible preferred stocks + convertible bonds)  = ($320,000 - $55,000) / (112,500 + 48,600) = $1.64

Storytime Park competes with Splash World by providing a variety of rides. Storytime sells tickets at $ 100 per person as a​ one-day entrance fee. Variable costs are $ 60 per​ person, and fixed costs are $ 254 comma 000 per month. Compute Storytime ​Park's contribution margin ratio. Carry your computation to two decimal places. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to determine the sales revenue Storytime Park needs to break even.

Answers

Answer:

contribution margin ratio= 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $635,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Storytime sells tickets at $ 100 per person as a​ one-day entrance fee.

Variable costs are $ 60 per​ person, and fixed costs are $254,000 per month.

To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:

contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price

contribution margin ratio= (100 - 60)/100

contribution margin ratio= 0.4

To calculate the sales required to break even, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 254,000/0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $635,000

During April, the first production department of a process manufacturing system completed its work on 355,000 units of a product and transferred them to the next department. Of these transferred units, 71,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 284,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 65% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 93,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 90% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. The production department had $1,106,991 of direct materials and $800,823 of conversion costs charged to it during April. Also, its beginning inventory of $207,646 consists of $165,239 of direct materials cost and $42,407 of conversion costs.
1. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for April. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the conversion cost per equivalent unit for April. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
3. Using the FIFO method, assign April's costs to the department's output-specifically, its units transferred to the next department and its ending work in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

1. $3.01

2.$2.20

3.

units transferred to the next department  = $1,781,006

ending work in process inventory = $333,777

Explanation:

1. direct materials cost per equivalent unit for April.

The first step is to calculate the Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials

To finish opening work in progress ( 71,000 units × 0% )         =       0

Started and Completed during the period ( 284,000 × 100%) = 284,000

Closing Work In Process ( 93,000 × 90%)                                 =    83,700

Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials                                 = 367,700

Then Calculate the cost cost per equivalent unit

Cost per equivalent unit = Current Period Cost / Total Equivalent units

                                        =  $1,106,991 / 367,700

                                        = $3.01058

                                        = $3.01

2. conversion cost per equivalent unit for April.

The first step is to calculate the Total Equivalent units for Conversion

To finish opening work in progress ( 71,000 units × 60% )       =   42,600

Started and Completed during the period ( 284,000 × 100%) = 284,000

Closing Work In Process ( 93,000 × 40%)                                 =    37,200

Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials                                 = 363,800

Then Calculate the cost cost per equivalent unit

Cost per equivalent unit = Current Period Cost / Total Equivalent units

                                        =  $800,823 / 363,800

                                        = $2.20127

                                        = $2.20

3.assign April's costs to the department's output

Completed and Transferred

Opening Work In Process Cost                                           $207,646

Add To finish Opening Work In Process :

Direct Materials ( 0 × $3.01)                                                        $0

Conversion Costs ( 42,600 × $2.20)                                    $93,720

Add Started and Completed Costs (284,000 × $5.21)    $1,479,640

Total Cost transferred                                                        $1,781,006

Ending Work In Process

Direct Materials ( 83,700 × $3.01)  = $251,937

Conversion ( 37,200 × $2.20)        =   $81,840

Total Cost                                        = $333,777

Bob uses the cash method of accounting. During the tax year (calendar year), he had the following income and expenses:  Interest on a savings account (credited to his account on January 2 of next year) $ 68  Dividend received from Virginia Credit Union $814  Interest received on a 5-year certificate of deposit (left in CD account to compound) $910  Penalty on the early withdrawal of the 5-year certificate of deposit $ 50 What is the amount of interest income Bob must report for the current tax year?

Answers

Answer:

$814

Explanation:

When individuals or small firms use cash accounting, they will record any expenses or revenue when they are actually paid for or collected respectively.

In this case, Bob must record:

Dividend received from Virginia Credit Union $814

Interests received on January 2, of next year are not included (they are included in next year's tax return). Interest received on a 5-year certificate of deposit (left in CD account to compound) is not included because it was earned before this year and left in CD to compound. The penalty for early withdrawal is associated with the CD, so it is not included.

What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change

Answers

Answer:

Effect on income= $2,400 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $240

Variable expenses= $60

Contribution margin= $180

Fixed expenses= $364,000 per month.

The company is currently selling 5,900 units per month.

The marketing manager believes that a $21,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 130 unit increase in monthly sales.

First, we need to calculate the actual income:

Actual income= 5,900*180 - 364,000= $698,000

Now, the income with changes:

Income= 6,030*180 - 385,000= $700,400

Effect on income= $2,400 increase

Explanation:

Just as the name sounds "mere exposure", this is explained to be a phenomenon where trust is build on familiarity. Constant usage, constant familiarizing with a particular person, object or product makes a person trust it more than others or its substitutes. This effect according to research and natural order is seen to be psychological that is why the company in the case above used only their logo in all media sampling and other adverts first just to trap the minds of those familiar with their brands before the advert. Simply here, a user can easily trust to buy the new product based on the older products.

The acid test ratio is  1.38  

Explanation:

The acid test ratio gives an indication of how easy it is for the company to pay back its short term obligations without considering inventory.

Acid test ratio=current assets-merchandise inventory/current liabilities

current assets is $260,000

current liabilities is $170,000

merchandise inventory is $25,000

acid test ratio=($260,000-$25,000)/$170,000= 1.38  

The acid test ratio is  1.38   which is not of the options given

The only that is not as liquid as other current assets is merchandise inventory,hence deducted from current assets.

Suppose a company, Re-Tire, has come out with a new approach to solve the problems of punctures. Its new wheel, which is made of steel, allows rubber "tread segments" of tire tread to be bolted directly to the wheel (see image; tire not actual size). No air is required, so the tire can’t go flat, and if one of the segments becomes damaged, the operator using basic hand tools can merely replace the segment without removing the wheel and dismounting and reinstalling the reparied tire. With an ordinary tire, the wheel has to be removed and the tire dismounted at a shop using special tools. The benefit is that the operator can be back to work almost immediately.Assume Re-Tire has a patent on the technology to create the wheel and tread segments, which requires extensive computer simulation in the design of the tread segments. Assume as well that because the technology for creating the rubber segments is less complex than that for air-filled tires, the cost of production for Re-Tire is approximately 20% lower than for regular tires. The steel wheels for the segments are roughly equivalent in cost to those used for regular air-filled tires (the wheels are not interchangeable). Around the world there are about 800,000 skid steer loaders in operation in various industries, and 90% of them use one of just two tire sizes. The replacement tire market for the loaders is over $700 million per year. What price should Re-Tire set for its combination wheel/tread segment product? Assume the standard wheel/air tire combination is $250.

Answers

Answer:

The description of the given question is described in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Throughout my personal view, the cost including its combination wheel/tread sequence good or service should be set at $200 for Re-Tire. As the conventional wheel/air gear combined effect is $250 as well as the level of manufacture besides Re-Tire is about 20% lower than those for frequent tires.The profit of such a 20% reduction costs should be managed to pass forward with employees to gain the start promoting including the latest design and technical method that used produce such tires, and several other costs associated with that as well.The value proposition and perhaps even the accessibility added benefit will surely make clients consider buying but also setting up such tires, and also becoming frequent or long-term buyers of Re-Tire.

Carey Company had sales in 2019 of $1,658,800 on 63,800 units. Variable costs totaled $1,148,400, and fixed costs totaled $467,000.A new raw material is available that will decrease the variable costs per unit by 20% (or $3.60). However, to process the new raw material, fixed operating costs will increase by $94,000. Management feels that one-half of the decline in the variable costs per unit should be passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will result in a 5% increase in the number of units sold.

a) Projected CVP Income Statement for 2020 (without changes):

Sales                   $1,658,800

Variable costs        1,148,400

Contribution          $510,400

Fixed Costs            467,000

Profit                      $43,400

b) Projected CVP Income Statement for 2020 (with changes)

Sales                    $1,621,158

Variable costs        964,656

Contribution        $656,502

Fixed Costs            561,000

Profit                     $95,502

Explanation:

a) Sales units will increase from 63,800 to 66,990 (63,800 x 1.05)

b) Old selling price = $1,658,800/63,800 = $26 per unit

c) New selling price = $26.00 - $1.80 = $24.20 per unit

d) Old variable cost  per unit = $1,148,400/63,800 = $18

e) New variable cost per unit = $18 - 3.60 = $14.40

f) Sales Value = $24.20 x 66,990 = $1,621,158

g) Variable costs = $14.40 x 66,990 = $964,656

h) New fixed cost = $467,000 + 94,000 = $561,000

i) A CVP Income Statement is a Cost Volume Profit income statement whereby the costs are identified according to their cost behaviors of whether they are fixed or variable or semi-fixed.

Sheffield Corp. began operations on April 1 by issuing 52,500 shares of $4 par value common stock for cash at $15 per share. In addition, Sheffield issued 2,600 shares of $1 par value preferred stock for $3 per share. Journalize the issuance of the common and preferred shares.

Answers

Answer:

1. For Common Stock issued:

Debit cash for $787,500

Credit Common Stock for $210,000

Credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Common Stock for $577,500

2. For Preferred Stock Issued:

Debit cash for $7,800

Credit Preferred Stock for $2,600

Credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Preffered Stock for $5,200

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for how the journal entries will look exactly in the book.

Before journalizing the issuance, the following calculations are done first:

Cash received form common stock issued = 52,500 * $15 = $787,500

Common stock issued par value = 52,500 * $4 = $210,000

Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Common Stock = $787,500 - $210,000 = $577,500

Cash received form preferred stock issued = 2,600 * $3 = $7,800

Preferred stock issued par value = 2,600 * $1 = $2,600

Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Preferred Stock = $7,800 - $2,600 = $5,200

If lower amounts of direct materials had been used because of production efficiencies, the variance would be reported to the . If the favorable use of raw materials had been caused by the purchase of higher-quality raw materials, the variance should be reported to the .

Answers

Answer:

direct materials price variance       =  $7,250

direct materials quantity variance  = -  $13,750

total direct materials cost variance = - $6,500

The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the Purchasing Manager.

Variance in direct materials used would be reported to the Production Manager

The favorable variance  caused by purchase of higher-quality raw materials would be reported to Purchasing Manager

Explanation:

direct materials price variance       = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)

                                                         = (145,000 × $2.80) - (145,000 × $2.75)

                                                         = $7,250 A

direct materials quantity variance  = (Aq - Sp) - (Sq × Sp)

                                                         = (145,000 × $2.75) - (150,000 × $2.75)

                                                         = $13,750 F

total direct materials cost variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance

                                                          = $7,250 A + $13,750 F

                                                          = $6,500 F

The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the Purchasing Manager.

Variance in direct materials used would be reported to the Production Manager

The favorable variance  caused by purchase of higher-quality raw materials would be reported to Purchasing Manager

Indicate how each of the following would shift the (1) marginal-cost curve, (2) average-variable-cost curve, (3) average-fixed-cost curve, and (4) average-total-cost curve of a manufacturing firm. In each case specify the direction of the shift.
a. A reduction in business property taxes.b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers.c. A decrease in the price of electricity.d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment.e. An increase in transportation costs.

Answers

Answer:

a. A reduction in business property taxes: MC-No change; AVC-No change; AFC-Shift down; ATC-Shift down. (Fixed cost)

b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers: MC-Shift up; AVC-Shift up; AFC-No change; ATC- Shift up. (Variable cost)

c. A decrease in the price of electricity: MC-Shift down; AVC-Shift down; AFC-No change; ATC-Shift down. (Variable cost)

d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment: MC-No change; AVC-No change; AFC-Shift up; ATC-Shift up. (Fixed cost)

e. An increase in transportation costs: MC-Shift up; AVC-Shift up; AFC-No change; ATC-Shift up. (Variable cost)

Explanation:

Where;

MC is the Marginal Cost.

AVC is the Average Variable Cost.

AFC is the Average Fixed Cost.

ATC is the Average Total Cost.

1. Marginal Cost (MC) can be defined as the cost incurred in the production of one unit of a product.

2. Average Variable Cost (AVC) can be defined as the total variable cost per unit of production. It is calculated by dividing total variable cost (TVC) by total output of production (Q);

AVC = \frac{TVC}{Q}

3. Average Fixed Cost can be defined as the fixed cost per unit of production. It is calculated by dividing fixed cost (FC) by total output of production (Q);

AFC = \frac{FC}{Q}

4. Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.

[tex]ATC = TVC + TFC[/tex]

Northwest Fur Co. started the year with $92,000 of merchandise inventory on hand. During the year, $425,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 1/15, n/45. All discounts were taken. Northwest paid freight-in charges of $7,000. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $5,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $372,000. What is ending inventory

Answers

Answer:

$ 142,800.00  

Explanation:

The ending inventory can be computed by rearranging the cost of goods sold formula:

cost of goods sold=Beginning inventory+net purchases-ending inventory

ending inventory=beginning inventory+net purchases-cost of goods sold

beginning inventory is $92,000

Net purchases=purchases-discount+freight-in charges-purchase return

net purchases=$425,000-($425,000*1%)+$7000-($5000*99%)=$422,800.00  

cost of goods sold is $372,000

ending inventory=$92,000+$422,800-$372,000=$ 142,800.00  

Andy and Kim live together. Andy may invest ​$14 comma 000 ​(possibly by taking on an extra job to earn the additional​ money) in​ Kim's education this year. This investment will raise​ Kim's future earnings by ​$20 comma 000 ​(in present valueLOADING... ​terms). If they stay​ together, they will share the benefit from the additional earnings. ​ However, the probability is 20​% that they will split up in the future. If they were married​ (or in a civil​ union) and then​ split, Andy would get half of​ Kim's additional earnings. If they were living together without any legal ties and they​ split, then Andy would get nothing. Suppose that Andy is risk neutral. Will Andy invest in​ Kim's education? Does your answer depend on the​ couple's legal​ status? A. Andy will invest in Kim's education only if they have legal ties. B. Andy will not invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. C. Andy will invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. D. Andy will invest in​ Kim's education only if they do not have legal ties. E. Andy will be indifferent about investing in​ Kim's education regardless of legal ties.

Answers

Answer:

Will Andy invest in​ Kim's education?

Yes, he should. The expected benefits from investing in Kim's education are higher than the costs regardless of their legal status.

Does your answer depend on the​ couple's legal​ status?

C. Andy will invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties.

Explanation:

if Andy and Kim are not married:

initial investment $14,000

expected benefits $20,000 x (1 - 20%) = $16,000

expected gain = $16,000 - $14,000 = $2,000

If Andy and Kim are married:

expected benefits [$20,000 x (1 - 20%)] + ($20,000 x 20% x 1/2) = $16,000 + $2,000 = $18,000

expected gain = $18,000 - $14,000 = $4,000

The risk-free rate is 7%. The expected market rate of return is 15%. If you expect a stock with a beta of 1.3 to offer a rate of return of 12%, you should Group of answer choices sell the stock short because it is underpriced. buy the stock because it is underpriced. sell short the stock because it is overpriced. None of the options, as the stock is fairly priced. buy the stock because it is overpriced.

Answers

Answer: Sell short the stock because it is overpriced.

Explanation:

To find out if the stock is overpriced or underpriced, you would need to check to see if the Expected return is indeed 12%.

With the given variables you can do this with the Capital Asset Pricing Model.

The formula is,

Er = Rf + b(Rm + Rf)

Where,

Er is the expected return

Rf is the Risk free rate

b is the Beta

Rm is the Market Rate

Inserting the figures,

= 7% + 1.3(15% - 7%)

= 17.4%

The stock should have an expected return of 17.4% but only has an expected return of 12%. It is underperforming and is therefore OVERPRICED. To benefit from this you should sell the stock short so that when the market prices adjust you can make a profit.

Answers

Answer:

$1,650.

Note: The correct asnwer is $1,650 based on the information provided in the question but it is not included in the option. Kindly confirm this from your teacher.

Explanation:

Stockholders' Equity at January 1, 2020 can be obtained using the accounting equation stated as follows:

Assets = Stockholders' Equity + Liabilities

Since on January 1, 2020, we have:

Assets = $4,220

Stockholders' Equity = ?

Liabilities = $2,570

Substituting the values into the accounting equation above, we have:

$4,220 = Stockholders' Equity + $2,570

Rearranging, we have:

Stockholders' Equity = $4,220 - $2,570 = $1,650

Therefore, Stockholders' Equity at January 1, 2020 is $1,650.
