Value Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $500 per month plus $76 per job plus $14 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in June to be 17 jobs and 147 meals, but the actual activity was 13 jobs and 144 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in June was $3,340. The catering supplies in the planning budget for June would be closest to:
Answer:
$3,504
Explanation:
Catering supplies = $500 + $76 x j + $14 x m
where,
j = number of jobs in a month
m = number of meals in a month
therefore,
Planning budget for June, use the Actual number of jobs and meals into the formula (Actual Activity).
June Catering supplies = $500 + $76 x 13+ $14 x 144
= $3,504

Fast Co. produces its product through two processing departments. Direct materials are added at the start of production in the Cutting department, and conversion costs are added evenly throughout each process. The company uses monthly reporting periods for its weighted-average process costing system. The Work in Process Inventory-Cutting account has a balance of $89,300 as of October 1, which consists of $18,600 of direct materials and $70,700 of conversion costs. During the month, the Cutting department incurred the following costs: Direct materials$141,150Conversion 915,400At the beginning of the month, 32,500 units were in process. During October, the company started 145,000 units and transferred 155,000 units to the Assembly department. At the end of the month, the Cutting department's work in process inventory consisted of 22,500 units that were 80% complete with respect to conversion costs.
Required:
1. Prepare the company's process cost summary for October using the weighted-average method.
2. Prepare the journal entry dated October 31 to transfer the cost of the completed units to finished goods inventory
Answer:
Part 1
Fast Co.
Process cost summary for October
Cost Summary :
Completed units to finished goods inventory = $1,023,000
Units in Ending Work In Process = $122,850
Part 2
Journal Entry to transfer the cost of the completed units to finished goods inventory
Debit : Finished Goods $1,023,000
Credit : Assembly Department $1,023,000
Explanation:
It is important to note Fast Co. uses weighted-average method. This means we are only interested in the Equivalent units of units completed and transferred and units in Ending Work in Process.
Step 1 ; Calculate Equivalent Units of Production
Materials = 155,000 x 100 % + 22,500 x 100 % = 177,500 units
Conversion Costs = 155,000 x 100 % + 22,500 x 80 % = 173,000 units
Step 2 : Calculate Total Cost of Materials and Conversion Cost
Materials = $18,600 + $141,150 = $159,750
Conversion Cost = $70,700 + $915,400 = $986,100
Step 3 : Calculate the Equivalent Cost per Unit
Materials = $159,750 ÷ 177,500 units = $0.90
Conversion Costs = $986,100 ÷ 173,000 units = $5.70
Total = $0.90 + $5.70 = $6.60
Step 4 : Cost of completed units to finished goods inventory
Completed units to finished goods inventory = $6.60 x 155,000 units
= $1,023,000
Step 5 : Cost of units in Ending Work In Process
Units in Ending Work In Process = $0.90 x 22,500 + $5.70 x 18,000
= $122,850
Suppose the price of gasoline increases and that sport utility vehicles get poor gas mileage compared to other available cars. One would expect: Select one: a. the demand for gasoline to decrease. b. the demand for sport utility vehicles to decrease. c. the demand for sport utility vehicles to increase. d. the quantity of sport utility vehicles demanded to decrease.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
If the sport utility vehicle has a bad mileage, it means that it burns fuel quickly, so you would have to buy gasoline more frequently.
sport utility vehicle is a complement for gasoline
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
If the price of gasoline increases, it would become more expensive to maintain sport utility vehicle. As a result, the demand for sport utility vehicle would decrease. this would shift the demand curve for sport utility vehicle inward.
A increase in the price of gasoline would result in a decrease in the quantity demanded of gasoline and not a reduction in demand.

Assume that the CBL is not marketable at split-off but must be planed and sized at a cost of $300,000 per production run. During this process, 10,000 units are unavoidably lost and have no value. The remaining units of CBL are salable at $14 per unit. The RBL, although salable immediately at the split-off point, is coated with a tarlike preservative that costs $200,000 per production run. The RBL is then sold for $12 each. Using the net realizable value basis, how much of the completion costs should be assigned to each unit of CBL
Question
Northwest Building Products (NBP) manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process: residential building lumber (RBL) and commercial building lumber (CBL). A standard production run incurs joint costs of $350,000 and results in 100,000 units of RBL and 90,000 units of CBL. Each RBL sells for $13 per unit and each CBL sells for $13 per unit.
Assume that the CBL is not marketable at split-off but must be planed and sized at a cost of $300,000 per production run. During this process, 10,000 units are unavoidably lost and have no value. The remaining units of CBL are salable at $14 per unit. The RBL, although salable immediately at the split-off point, is coated with a tarlike preservative that costs $200,000 per production run. The RBL is then sold for $12 each. Using the net realizable value basis, how much of the completion costs should be assigned to each unit of CBL
Answer:
Completion cost per unit of CBL=$5.82
Explanation:
Joint cost is the total cost incurred from the start of start of production process up until the split off point where two or more products result from the same process. The joint products in this case are CBL and RBL
The completion cost of CBL is the sum of the apportioned joint cost at the split-off point plus the further processing cost
Completion cost = apportioned joint cost + further processing cost
Joint cost can be apportioned using the net realizable value as follows
Total net realizable value at the split of point for the two product=
RBL =$13 × 100,000=1,300,000
CBL =$13 × 90,000=1,170,000
Total 2,470,000
Apportioned joint cost to CBL = sales value of CBL/Total sales of product× joint cost
= (1,170,000/2,470,000)*$350,000= 165,789.47
Completion cost = 165,789.47 + 300,000 = $465,789.47
Completion cost per unit of CBL = Completion cost/Expected unit
=$465,789.47/(90,000-10,000) units
=$5.82
Note that the expected units is that available for sale after normal loss as be accounted for. So, we deduct the loss units
Completion cost per unit of CBL=$5.82

Suppose that you have the following information for an economy:______.
Marginal propensity to consume - MPC 0.80 Autonomous consumption - A $500 Planned investment - PI $600 Net exports - NX -$400 Government spending - G $300
You will need this information for the questions that follow.
Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
Answer:
Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $4,600.
Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,000.
Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,400.
Explanation:
The aggregate expenditure (AE) can be calculated using the following formula:
AE = (A + (MPC * Y)) + PI + G + NX ………………. (1)
Where;
AE = aggregate expenditure = ?
A = Autonomous consumption = $500
MPC = Marginal propensity to consume = 0.80
Y = Real GDP
PI = Planned investment = $600
G = Government spending = $300
NX = Net exports = -$400
Based on the above, we can now proceed as follows:
Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
This implies that:
Y = Real GDP = $4,500
Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:
AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $4,500)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $4,600
Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $4,600.
Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
This implies that:
Y = Real GDP = $5,000
Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:
AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $5,000)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $5,000
Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,000.
Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
This implies that:
Y = Real GDP = $5,500
Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:
AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $5,500)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $5,400
Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,400.
You have two choices for how you are going to spend Saturday evening. You can go to the pub with your friends, which will cost you £30 for the evening. The pleasure you anticipate from this experience is worth £50 to you. Or you can go to the theatre The ticket will cost you £50, but you value the experience at £60. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct?
a. Based on economic rent alone, you would definitely choose to go to the theatre.
b. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
c. The economic rent of going to the pub is £0.
d. The opportunity cost of an evening at the pub is £60.
Answer:
b. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
Explanation:
The correct option is - b. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
Reason -
Economic cost = Cost actually incurred to choose an option + opportunity cost
Now,
We know that
Opportunity cost is the value of next best alternative forgone.
Now,
Net benefits while the person going to Pub = 50 - 30 = £20
Net benefits while the person going to Theatre = 60 - 50 = £10
So,
The opportunity cost = £20 - £10 = £10
∴ we get
Economic cost of going to the Pub= £30 + £10 = £40
The answer to this question is option B. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
In order to get the economic cost, we use this formula to calculate it:
Economic cost = cost of account + opportunity cost - benefit of the pub
The cost of account = 30 this is the price for the pub
The opportunity cost = 60 is the benefit that would have been enjoyed for visiting the theatre
The benefit = 50 is the worth of the pub
This would give us 30+60-50
= £40
Therefore the economic cost of going to the pub is £40.

Inventory, January 1 (10,000 units) $ 37,000 Cost of 110,000 units purchased 479,000 Selling price of 90,000 units sold 720,000 Operating expenses 150,000 Units purchased consisted of 40,000 units at $4.20 on May 10; 50,000 units at $4.40 on August 15; and 20,000 units at $4.55 on November 20. Income taxes are 30%. Instructions: Prepare comparative condensed income statements for 2015 under FIFO and LIFO. (Show computations of ending inventory.) Answer the following questions for management. Which inventory cost flow method produces the most meaningful inventory amount for the balance sheet? Why? Which inventory cost flow method produces the most meaningful net income? Why? How muc
Answer:
Net income for Maltwo Co. is $132,300
Explanation:
FIFO
Sold 90,000 units
Cost of sold units =
opening 10,000 units for $3.7 = $37,000
purchased 40,000 units for $4.20 = $168,000
purchased 40,000 units for $4.4 = $176,000
Total cost of goods sold = $381,000
Sales = $720,000
less: cost of goods sold = $381,000
less: operating expenses = $150,000
Operating income = $189,000
less: Income tax 30% = $56,700
Net Income = $132,300
LIFO
Sold 90,000 units
Cost of sold units =
purchased 20,000 units for $4.55 = $91,000
purchased 50,000 units for $4.40 = $220,000
purchased 20,000 units for $4.20 = $84,000
Total cost of goods sold = $395,000
Sales = $720,000
less: cost of goods sold = $395,000
less: operating expenses = $150,000
Operating income = $175,000
less: Income tax 30% = $52,500
Net Income = $122,500
Most meaningful net income is calculated by FIFO because in most of the businesses goods purchased first are sold first and if not then the goods purchased the earliest cross its expiry date and eventually results in a loss for the company.
So the net income for Maltwo Co. is $132,300
The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year: Beginning inventory 10 units at $55 First purchase 25 units at $60 Second purchase 30 units at $65 Third purchase 15 units at $70 The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold. The value of ending inventory rounded to the nearest dollar using the weighted average cost method is
Answer:
$3,788
Explanation:
Periodic Inventory is being used. Periodic inventory method determines the cost of sales and inventory after a certain period determined by the company.
Step 1 : Find Cost per unit
Cost per unit = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= $5,050 ÷ 80
= $63.125
Step 2 : Determine value of ending inventory
Value of ending inventory = Cost per unit x units remaining
= $63.125 x 60 units
= $3,788

Use the following information to answer the next question. Total Asset = $40 million Depreciation = $1.0 million. Basic earning power (BEP) ratio is 20% Lease payments = 0.6 million Times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio is 6.55 Principal payments = 4 million What is the company's EBIT? The company's interest expense? Select one: a. $8.0 million; $1.22 million b. $7.5 million; $0.75 million c. $8.0 million; $0.62 million d. $1.35 million; $0.37 million e. $3.33 million; $0.83 million
Answer:
a. $8.0 million; $1.22 million
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Basic earnings power = EBIT ÷ total assets
So,
EBIT = Basic earnings power × total assets
= 0.20 × 40 million
= $8 million
Now
Times interest earned = EBIT ÷ interest expense
So,
Interest expense = EBIT ÷ Times interest earned
= $8 million ÷ 6.55
= $1.22 million

Explanation:
If there are important external benefits associated with the consumption of a product:_______.
A. special excise taxes should be levied on producers of the product.
B. the market supply curve for the product lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources.
C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.
D. government should enact legislation to prohibit the production of the commodity.
Answer:
C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.
Explanation:
Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.
Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.
Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.
So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).
Multiple Choice Question Valpar Company produces several lines of laundry hampers. The factory is highly automated and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate overhead costs to its various products. During the upcoming period the company expects to produce 72,000 units. The costs and cost drivers associated with four activity cost pools are given below: Activities Unit Level Batch Level Product Level Facility Level Cost $20,000 $10,000 $15,000 $36,000 Cost Driver 4,000 labor hours 400 set-ups % of use 72,000 units Production of 20,000 units of its popular foldable hamper required 2,000 labor hours, 20 setups, and consumed one-quarter of the product sustaining activities. What amount of batch-level costs will be allocated to the product
Answer:
$500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product
Using this formula
Allocation rate=(Total batch level overhead cost/Total activity base ) * Set-ups
Let plug in the formula
Allocation rate=( $10,000/400 set-ups) *20 set-ups
Allocation rate=$25 per set-up *20 set-ups
Allocation rate=$500
Therefore the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product is $500
Morris Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Morris Company estimated total overhead costs to be $400,000, and direct labor costs to be $2,000,000. Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $380,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $1,800,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a:_________.
a. $360,000 Debit balance.
b. $20,000 Credit balance.
c. $400,000 Credit balance.
d. $20,000 Debit balance.
e. $380,000 Debit balance.
Answer:
Option d ($20,000 Debit balance) is the appropriate option.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Total overhead costs,
= $400,000
Direct labor costs,
= $2,000,000
Actual overhead incurred,
= $380,000
Actual direct labor costs,
= $1,800,000
Now,
As a % of labor cost, the OH will be:
= [tex]\frac{400000}{2000000}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]20 \ percent[/tex]
The absorbed overhead will be:
= [tex]1800000\times 20 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]360,000[/tex]
Then,
The balance in overhead account will be:
= Actual overhead incurred - Absorbed overhead
= [tex]380000 - 360000[/tex]
= [tex]20,000[/tex] ($) (Debit balance)

Three professors at George Washington University did an experiment to determine if economists are more selfish than other people. They dropped 122 stamped, addressed envelopes with $20 cash in two different classrooms (one economics, one not) on the George Washington campus. Of these, 42% were returned overall. From the economics class 51% of the envelopes were returned. From the other class 36% were returned.
From
the business, psychology, and history classes 31% were returned.
Let: R = money returned; E = economics classes; O = other classes
a. Write a probability statement for the overall percent of money returned.
b. Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the economics classes.
c. Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the other classes.
d. Is money being returned independent of the class? Justify your answer numerically and explain it.
e. Based upon this study, do you think that economists are more selfish than other people? Explain why or why not. Include numbers to justify your answer.
Solution :
It is given that :
At George Washington University, three professors wanted to do an experiment to find out if the economist people are more selfish than the other people.
They dropped 122 stamped addressed envelopes filled with 20 dollar cash at a economics classroom and the other at the other subjects classroom.
It is given that --
money returned = R
economics classes = E
other classes = O
a). the probability statement of the overall percent of the money returned is given by : 100.P(R)
b). the statement of probability that the percent of money returned out of the economics classes is 100.P(R|E)
c). the statement of probability that shows the percent of the money returned out of the other classes is 100.P(R|O)
d). No, the money returned is not independent of the classes as the P(R) is not equal to P(R|E)
e). No, based on the study, the economist are not selfish than other classes' people as the percent of the envelops returned from the economics classes is 51% and that from other classes is 36%.
Suppose that the supply function for honey is p=S(q)=0.4q+2.8, where p is the price in dollars for an 8-oz container and q is the quantity in barrels. Suppose also that the equilibrium price is $4.80 and the demand is 4 barrels when the price is $6.90. Find an equation for the demand function, assuming it is linear.
Answer:
The demand function is p= (-2.1)*q + 15.3
Explanation:
The supply function for honey is p=S(q)=0.4*q+2.8, where p is the price in dollars for an 8-oz container and q is the quantity in barrels. The equilibrium price is $4.80. So, the equilibrium quantity is:
4.80=0.4*q+2.8
Solving:
4.80 - 2.8=0.4*q
2=0.4*q
2÷0.4= q
5=q
The demand function, assuming it is linear, is p=m*q+b
The equilibrium quantity is 5 barrels and the equilibrium price is $4.80; and the demand is 4 barrels when the price is $6.90. So:
[tex]\left \{ {{4.80=m*5+b} \atop {6.90=m*4+b}} \right.[/tex]
Isolating the variable "b" from the first equation, you get:
4.80 - m*5= b
Replacing the previous expression in the second equation you get:
6.90=m*4 + 4.80 - m*5
6.90 - 4.80=m*4 - m*5
2.1= (-1)*m
2.1÷(-1)= m
-2.1=m
Replacing the value of "m" in the expression 4.80 - m*5= b you get:
4.80 - (-2.1)*5= b
Solving you get:
15.3= b
So, the demand function is p= (-2.1)*q + 15.3
