Answer: $159,900
Explanation:
Work in Process balance for the year = 70,200 + 421,200 + 262,600 + 315,120 - 832,000 (finished goods)
= $237,120
This means that Job 9-27 accounts for the total cost of $237,120
The costs to Job 9-27 are;
237,120 = Direct labor + Direct Materials + Factory Overhead
237,120 = 35,100 + Direct materials + (35,100 * 120%)
Direct Materials = 237,120 - 35,100 - (35,100 * 120%)
= $159,900
Margie Johnson is a staff accountant at ToolEx Company, a manufacturer of tools and equipment. The company is under pressure from investors to increase earnings, and the president of the expects the Accounting Department to "make this happen". Margie's boss, who has been a mentor to her, is concerned that if earnings do not increase, he will be terminated. Shortly after the end of the fiscal year, the company performs a physical count of the inventory. When Margie compares the physical count to the balance in the inventory account, she finds a significant amount of inventory shrinkage. The amount is so large that it will result in a significant drop in earnings this period. Margie's boss asks her not to make the adjusting entry for shrinkage this period. He assures her that they will get "caught up" on shrinkage in the next period, after the pressure is off to reach this period's earnings goal. Margie's boss asks her to do this as a personal favor to him.
Required:
What should Margie do in this situation? Why?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Margie Johnson would be ethically wrong if she grants the boss's favour to not report inventory shrinkage. Also financial statements would not show a true and fair view if she decides to follow what her boss is asking. She should report true inventory value in financial statements.
2. Yes Ryan is being professional since he is out to improve company's sales and income even though he may be putting pressure on employees to work overtime
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The optimal capital structure minimizes the cost of equity, which is a necessary condition for maximizing the stock price. b. The optimal capital structure simultaneously maximizes stock price and minimizes the WACC. c. The optimal capital structure simultaneously maximizes EPS and minimizes the WACC. d. As a rule, the optimal capital structure is found by determining the debt-equity mix that maximizes expected EPS. e. The optimal capital structure simultaneously minimizes the cost of debt, the cost of equity, and the WACC.
Answer: b. The optimal capital structure simultaneously maximizes stock price and minimizes the WACC
Explanation:
The optimal capital structure is simply defined as the capital structure of a company that's made up of debt and equity which helps a business in achieving its aim.
The optimal capital structure simultaneously maximizes stock price and minimizes the WACC. As economic agents always look out to maximize stock price, it should be noted that this can be achieved with a cost of capital that's at its minimum.
true or false If you don't think a situation is okay or acceptable, others probably don't feel the same way.

Explanation:
Planning is described as the process of setting up the goals for the organization and formulating a course of action to achieve the intended goals.
Organizing is followed by planning which aims to assign the resources in a specific manner to ensure the effective accomplishment of the goal.
Leading is the process of providing guidance or direction to the staff, employees, and workers and keeps them motivated to ensure the smooth functioning of the process and achievement of optimum output.
Controlling is the last step in which the performances are governed and assessed as per the standards to find any variation.
Reese, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December, she received a $23,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Reese can pay the $23,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume Reese’s marginal tax rate is 32 percent this year and will be 37 percent next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 7 percent on her investments.
a. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $39,000 bill in December?
After-tax cost 26,520
b. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $39,000 bill in January? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

After-tax cost
e. Should Reese pay the $39,000 bill in December or January if she expects her marginal tax rate to be 32 percent this year and 24 percent next year?
December
January
Answer:
a. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $39,000 bill in December?
= $23,000 x (1 - 32%) = $15,640
b. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $39,000 bill in January? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
total after tax cost (including investment revenue):
= $23,000 x (1 - 37%) = $14,490
= -$23,000 x 7% x 1/12 x (1 - 37%) = -$84.53
= $14,405.47
c. Should Reese pay the $23,000 bill'in December or January?
January , since the after tax cost is lower
d. What is the after-tax cost if she expects her marginal tax rate to be 24 percent next year and pays the $23,000 bill in January?
= $23,000 x (1 - 24%) = $17,480
= -$23,000 x 7% x 1/12 x (1 - 24%) = -$101.97
= $17,378.03
e. Should Reese pay the $23,000 bill in December or January if she expects her marginal tax rate to be 32 percent this year and 24 percent next year?
December, since the after tax cost is lower
Bill and Laura are in the 39.6% tax bracket for ordinary income and the 20% bracket for capital gains (ignore the 3.8% additional tax on investment income for higher-income taxpayers.) They have owned several blocks of stock for many years. They are considering the sale of two blocks of stock. The sale of one block would produce a gain of $15,000. The sale of the other would produce a loss of $19,000. For purposes of this problem, ignore personal exemptions, itemized deductions and other phase-outs. They have no other gains or losses this year.
Required:
a. How much tax will they save if they sell the block of stock that produces a loss?
b. How much additional tax will they pay if they sell the block of stock that produces a gain?
c. What will be the impact on their taxes if they sell both blocks of stock?
Answer:
a) the maximum amount that Bill and Laura will be able to deduct during the current year is $3,000. Their remaining loss = $19,000 - $3,000 = $16,000. The remaining $16,000 loss must be carried forward and deducted in subsequent years, or year, depending on their future capital gains. Total tax saved during this year = $3,000 x 39.6% = $1,188.
b) additional tax liability = $15,000 x 20% = $3,000
c) if they sell both, then their long term capital gains = $15,000 - $19,000 = -$4,000. They can deduct $3,000 during the current year, and the remaining $1,000 loss can be deducted in subsequent years. Total tax saved during this year = $3,000 x 39.6% = $1,188.

Japan 30 150 80 16
Korea 50 150 48 16
without trade, Japan consumes 50 cars and 6 airplanes
without trade, Korea consumes 27 cars and 7 airplanes
Japan's opportunity cost to produce 1 plane = 150 / 30 = 5 cars
Japan's opportunity cost to produce 1 car = 30 / 150 = 0.2 planes
Korea's opportunity cost to produce 1 plane = 150 / 50 = 3 cars
Korea's opportunity cost to produce 1 car = 50 / 150 = 0.33 planes
Japan will produce 80 cars and Korea 16 airplanes
after trade
Japan will receive 8 airplanes in exchange for 28 cars:
it will have 8 airplanes and 52 cars
Korean will receive 28 cars in exchange for 8 airplanes:
it will have 8 airplanes and 28 cars

Calculation of the number and cost of goods available for sale
Units Total Costs
Beginning Inventory 300 $4,200
Add Purchases :
April 11 950 $11,400
June 1 850 $12,750
Available for Sale 2,100 $28,350
Ending Inventory units = Units Available for Sale - Units Sold
= 2,100 units - 300 units - 630 units
= 1,170 units
a. FIFO
FIFO stands for First In First Out.
i. Cost of ending inventory
320 units × $12 = $3,840
850 units × $15 = $12,750
Total = $16,590
ii. Cost of goods sold
300 units × $14 = $4,200
630 units × $12 = $7,560
Total = $11,760
b. LIFO
LIFO stands for Last In Last Out
i. Cost of ending inventory
300 units × $14 = $4,200
650 units × $12 = $7,800
220 units × $15 = $3,300
Total = $15,300
ii. Cost of goods sold
300 units × $12 = $3,600
630 units × $15 = $9,450
Total = $13,050
c. weighted average cost
This method recalculates the unit costs after every purchase. Sales are valued at the latest unit costs calculated.
1st calculation : April 11
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Number of Units
= ((950 units × $12) + (300 units × $14)) ÷ (1,250)
= $12.45
Sale = 300 × $12.45
= $3,735
2nd Calculation : June 1
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Number of Units
= ((650 units × $12.45) + (850 units × $15)) ÷ (1,500)
= $13.90
Sale = 630 × $13.90
= $8,757
ii. Cost of goods sold
Total Cost of Goods Sold = $3,735 + $8,757
= $12,492
i. Cost of ending inventory
Ending Inventory = 870 × $13.90
= $12,093

Second Part
Cost of Ending Inventory Cost of Goods Sold
a. FIFO $1,634 $2,614
b. LIFO $1,324 $2,294
c. Weighted Average $1,467 $2,781
Explanation:
First, calculate the number of units sold
Number of units sold = Units available for sale - Units in ending inventory
= (116 + 385 + 194) - 240
= 455 units
Weighted-average Method, calculates a new unit cost with every purchase of Inventory. Sales are then made at the new calculated unit cost.
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Total Units
Calculate weighted-average unit cost
Unit Cost = ($ 580 + $2,310 + 1,358)/ (116 + 385 + 194)
= $6.112 (3 decimal places)
a. FIFO
FIFO stands for First In First Out
i. Cost of Ending Inventory
46 units × $6 = $276
194 units × $7 = $1,358
Total = $1,634
ii. Cost of Goods Sold
116 units × $5 = $580
339 units × $ 6 =$2,034
Total = $2,614
b. LIFO
LIFO stands for Last In First Out
i. Cost of Ending Inventory
116 units × $5 = $580
124 units × $6 = $744
Total = $1,324
ii. Cost of Goods Sold
194 units × $7 = $1,358
261 units × $ 6 = $1,566
Total = $2,294
c. Weighted Average Method
i. Cost of Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units in Ending Inventory × Average Unit Cost
= 240 units × $6.112
= $1,467
ii. Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold = Units Sold × Average Unit Cost
= 455 units × $6.112
= $2,781

This activity is important because as world trade has grown, more companies have entered the global market. Once a firm decides to enter the global market, it must choose which means of market entry is the most appropriate. The global market entry strategies vary greatly on the dimensions of financial commitment, risk, marketing control, and profit potential. The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the different types of global market entry strategies: exporting, licensing, joint venture, and direct investment.
Match the correct global market entry strategy with the followings.
a. Indirect Exporting
b. Direct Exporting
c. Licensing
d. Franchising
e. Joint Venture
f. Direct Investment
1. Moodmatcher lipstick
2. Boeing
3. Yoplait
4. McDonald's
Answer:
Matching the correct global market entry strategy with:
1. Moodmatcher lipstick = b. Direct Exporting
2. Boeing = b. Direct Exporting
3. Yoplait = d. Franchising
4. McDonald's = d. Franchising
Explanation:
a) Global market entry strategies;
a. Indirect Exporting
b. Direct Exporting
c. Licensing
d. Franchising
e. Joint Venture
f. Direct Investment
Most of the globalized entities enter the global market space through direct exports to consumer countries. Some others engage in licensing and franchising, joint venture and indirect exports of their products and services to non-domestic countries. Huge revenues are earned through global trades. Some companies like MTN headquartered in South Africa earn more revenue in foreign markets than in their domestic markets.
Recall Little’s Law that relates the 3 most important process measures (average inventory, average flow rate, and average flow time). The following statement gives two of these three measures and you must find the third. "The flow unit is accounts receivable dollars. A manufacturer bills $300 million worth of cellular equipment per year. The average amount in accounts receivable is $45 million. How much time does the accounts receivable process take, on average, in years? (i.e., the time that elapses on average from the time customer is billed to the time payment is received)?" Enter the number in years, rounded to 2 decimal points. (For example, report 16.347 years as 16.35.)
Answer: 0.15 years
Explanation:
According to Little's Law, it should be noted that:
I = R × T
where,
I = amount of flow units
R = rate of processing flow units
T = time
For this question,
I = $45 million
R = $300 million
Time will be:
T = I/R
T = 45/300
T = 0.15 years
Therefore, the account receivable process will use an average of 0.15 years.
On January 1, year 2, Connor Corporation signed a $100,000 noninterest-bearing note due in three years at a discount rate of 10%. Connor elects to use the fair value option for reporting its financial liabilities. On December 31, year 2, Connor's credit rating and risk factors indicated that the rate of interest applicable to its borrowings was 9%. The present value factors at 10% and 9% are presented below. PV factor 10%, 3 periods .751 PV factor 10%, 2 periods .826 PV factor 10%, 1 period .909 PV factor 9%, 3 periods .772 PV factor 9%, 2 periods .842 PV factor 9%, 1 period .917 At what amount should Connor present the note on the December 31, year 2 balance sheet?
Answer:
$84,200
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be presented the note as on Dec 31 for year 2 is shown below:
= PV factor 9%, 2 periods × non-interest bearing note amount
= 0.842 × $100,000
= $84,200
Here we considered the 9% interest rate as it is the revalued with respect to the fair value and the same is to be considered

During the introductory phase, cash from operation and investing maybe expected to be negative and cash from financing may be positive.
During the Growth phase, a company will spend lesser inventory on accrual basis in comparison to its purchase on cash basis.
During the Maturity phase, cash from operations is expected to be positive and also might be exceeding investing requirement.
During the decline phase, cash from operations and investment would continue to be positive while cash from financing would be negative.
Steve owns Barb, Inc. and has grown the business over the last 15 years and is the sole owner. He decides to sell 40 percent of the corporate stock (all outstanding stock) on July 1, Year 1 to an ESOP for $8 million. His adjusted basis for his entire interest in the stock was $3 million. On February 4th, Year 2, Steve uses all $8 million to buy shares of Apple Stock. Which of the following statements is correct? a. Steve will not have a capital gain in Year 1 for tax purposes. b. He will have a capital gain of $5.0 million in Year 1 for tax purposes. c. Steve's transaction does not qualify for non-recognition of gain treatment. d. He will have a capital gain of $6.8 million in Year 1 for tax purposes.
Answer:
a. Steve will not have a capital gain in Year 1 for tax purposes.
Explanation:
Since Steve (the owner of Barb) sold his stocks to an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan), then he will be able to avoid capital gains taxes at least for the first year. ESOPs are qualified retirement plans and when they invest in stocks of the same sponsoring company, the transaction is not taxed if the seller reinvests (buys other stocks). As long as ESOP holds at least 30% of the company's stocks, then Steve can defer his taxes.
Your grandfather has offered you a choice of one of the three following alternatives: $6,500 now; $1,750 a year for seven years; or $27,000 at the end of seven years.
Required:
a. Assuming you could earn 10 percent annually, compute the present value of each alternative.
b. Which alternative should you choose?
1. $27,000 received at end of seven years
2. $1,750 received each year for seven years
3. $6,500 received now
c. If you could earn 11 percent annually, compute the present value of each alternative.
d. Which alternative should you choose?
1. $27,000 received at end of seven years
2. $1,750 received each year for seven years
3. $6,500 received now
Answer:
a. Present Value at 10%1. $27,000 received at end of seven years
Present Value = 27,000 / ( 1 + 10%)^7
= $13,855.27
2. $1,750 received each year for seven years
This is an annuity.
Present Value = 1,750 * Present value interest factor of annuity , 7 years , 10%
= 1,750 * 4.8684
= $8,519.70
3. $6,500 received now
It is received now so the present value is $6,500.
b. $27,000 received at end of seven years.This has the highest present value at $13,855.27
c. Present Value at 11%1. $27,000 received at end of seven years
Present Value = 27,000 / ( 1 + 11%)^7
= $13,004.78
2. $1,750 received each year for seven years
This is still an annuity.
Present Value = 1,750 * Present value interest factor of annuity , 7 years , 11%
= 1,750 * 4.7122
= $8,246.35
3. $6,500 received now
It is received now so the present value is still $6,500
d. Still $27,000 received at end of seven years .Still has the highest Present Value

Assume that Jackson is a price-taker and the current wholesale market price is $7.30 per can of paint. What is the target total of cost in producing and selling 6 million cans of paint? Given Jackson's current total costs, will the company reach stockholders' profit goals? Begin by calculating Jackson's target total cost. Select the formula labels and enter the amounts. (Enter currency amounts in dollars, not in millions. Round all currency amounts to the nearest whole dollar.) Revenue at market price $43,800,000 Less: Desired profit 6000000 Target total cost 31,800,000
Answer:
Jackson's target total cost of producing and selling 6 million cans of paint of $31,800,000 will enable it to reach stockholders' profit goals of $6 million.
The implication is that it should not allow its total costs (Production and other business expenses) to exceed $37,800,000.
This is because its sales revenue will be equal to $43,800,000 (6,000,000 * $7.30).
As such, Jackson can produce a can of paint for $5.30. It can also incur an average business expense of $1.00 per can to maintain and reach its $6 million profit target.
Explanation:
Profit is the difference obtained after deducting all costs from the revenue. There are some profit stages. The first is the gross profit, which considers the sales revenue and the cost of goods sold. The next profit stage is the operating profit, which subtracts the business running expenses from the gross profit. There are also profits before and after interest and taxes. The after tax profit is also called the net income or net profit. If it is negative, then it is called the net loss. It is from the net income that distributions are made to stockholders in the form of dividends while a part is retained in the business to increase its capital stock or stockholders' equity.

A private investment club has $300,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a return rate of 15%; medium-risk stocks, 10%; and low-risk stocks, 6%. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal to the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock if the investment goal is to have a return of $30,000 on the total investment. (Assume that all the money available for investment is invested. Let x, y, and z denote the amount, in dollars, invested in high-, medium-, and low-risk stocks, respectively.)
Answer:
Investment in low risk=$150,000
Investment in medium risk =$30,000
Investment in high risk=$120,000
Explanation:
✓We can denote the investment in high risk as $x
✓ We can denote the investment medium risk as $y
✓We can denote the investment in low risk as($x + $y)
The summation of the investment = x + y +( x + y )= $300,000
If we add the like-terms together we have,
2x + 2y = $300,000
If we divide the both sides by 2, we have
x+y = 150,000
If we make "x" as subject of the formula, we have
x =150,000 -y •••••••••••eqn(**)
Total return on investments is
0.15x +0.10y +0 .06(x+y) = $30,000••••••••••••••••••••••••••••eqn(#)
Substitute for x from eqn(**) into equation (#)
0.15(150,000 -y) + 0.10y + 0.06(150,000-y +y) = 30,000
22500-0.15y+0.10y+9000= 30,000
0.05y=1500
y=1500/0.05
y=30,000
Recall, x =150,000 -y
Then
x = 150,000 - 30,000 = 120,000
y=30,000
x=120,000
Investment in low risk = x + y
= 30,000+120,000= 150,000
Hence, the investment in high risk
is $120,000, the investment medium risk is $30,000 and the investment in low risk is $ 150,000.
