Jefferson Company, a commercial painting contractor, uses a normal-costing system to cost each job. Its job-costing system has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and one indirect-cost pool called overhead costs. To each job, Jefferson allocates overhead at a budgeted rate of 80% of direct labor costs.
Jefferson provides the additional information for February:
1. As of February 1, Job A21, the only job in process, had incurred direct material costs of $30,000 and direct labor costs of $50,000.
2. Jobs A22, A23, and A24 were started in February.
3. Direct materials used during February were $150,000.
4. Direct labor costs for February were $120,000.
5. Actual overhead costs for February were $102,000.
6. On February 28, Job A24 was the only job still in process, and it had incurred direct materials costs of $20,000 and direct labor costs of $40,000.
As each job is completed, its cost is transferred to the Cost of Jobs Billed account. Each month, Jefferson closes any under-or over-allocated overhead to Cost of Jobs Billed.
1. Give one example of a direct cost and one example of an overhead cost for a job undertaken by Jefferson Company.
2. Calculate the overhead allocated to Job A21 as of February 1.
3. Calculate the overhead allocated to Job A24 as of February 28.
4. Calculate the under- or overallocated overhead for February.
5. Calculate ending balance of jobs still in process as of February 28.
6. Compute the Cost of Jobs Billed for February.
Answer:
Jefferson Company1. An example of a direct cost is the cost of direct raw materials. An example of an overhead cost is cost of factory repairs and maintenance.
2. The overhead allocated to Job A21 as of February 1 is $40,000.
3. The overhead allocated to Job A24 as of February 28 is $32.000.
4. The under-allocated overhead for February is $6,000
5. The ending balance of jobs still in process as of February 28 is $92,000.
6. The Cost of Jobs Billed for February is $394,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Budgeted overhead allocation rate = 80% of direct labor costs
Beginning WIP:
Materials $30,000
Direct labor 50,000
Overhead 40,000 ($50,000 * 80%)
Overhead allocated to Job A21 as of February 1 = $40,000 ($50,000 * 80%)
Overhead allocated to Job A24 as of February 28 = $32,000 ($40,000 * 80%)
Total overhead allocated for February = $96,000 ($120,000 * 80%)
Actual overhead costs incurred = $102,000
Therefore, the under-allocated overhead for February = $6,000
The ending balance of jobs still in process as of February 28 (Job A24) =
Materials costs = $20,000
Labor costs = $40,000
Overhead applied = $32,000
Total costs = $92,000
Cost of Jobs Billed:
Beginning WIP: Cost of Job A21 = $120,000 ($30,000 + 50,000 + 40,000)
Costs incurred during the period:
Cost of Direct Materials 150,000
Cost of Direct Labor 120,000
Allocated overhead costs 96,000
Total costs of production = $486,000
Less Ending WIP (Job A24) = 92,000
Cost of Jobs Billed for February $394,000
You are negotiating a transaction on behalf of one of your clients, Blair Burke. During the negotiationyou become aware that the other party to the transaction does not adequately understand the tax consequences of the proposed transaction, which are highly favorable to Burke. In fact, if the transaction were completed as proposed, the other side would suffer significant negative tax consequences.
Required:
Ethically, should you inform the other party of the potential negative tax consequences of the proposed transaction?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
In this scenario, you are acting as a fiduciary to Blair Burke. This means that you have an obligation to Blair Burke and every decision that you make needs to be in his/her best interest. Therefore, you should not inform the other party about the negative tax consequences. That is a job for the other individual's representative or fiduciary to handle and advise their client. Informing the other party could jeopardize the deal and cost your client an opportunity/money which would go against their best interest.

Bonita Industries pays all salaried employees on a biweekly basis. Overtime pay, however, is paid in the next biweekly period. Bonita accrues salaries expense only at its December 31 year end. Data relating to salaries earned in December 2020 are as follows: Last payroll was paid on 12/26/20, for the 2-week period ended 12/26/20. Overtime pay earned in the 2-week period ended 12/26/20 was $26000. Remaining work days in 2020 were December 29, 30, 31, on which days there was no overtime. The recurring biweekly salaries total $445000.
Assuming a five-day workweek, Bonita should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of:________
Answer:
$159,500
Explanation:
Liability for accrued salaries = $26,000 + ($445,000/10*3)
Liability for accrued salaries = $26,000 + $133,500
Liability for accrued salaries = $159,500
So, Bonita should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of $159,500
Carl transfers land to Cardinal Corporation for 90% of the stock in Cardinal Corporation worth $20,000 plus a note payable to Carl in the amount of $40,000 and the assumption by Cardinal Corporation of a mortgage on the land in the amount of $100,000. The land, which has a basis to Carl of $70,000, is worth $160,000.
a. Cardinal Corporation will have a basis of $160,000 in the land transferred by Carl.
b. Carl will have a recognized gain on the transfer of $30,000
c. Carl will have a recognized gain on the transfer of $90,000.
d. Cardinal Corporation will have a basis of $70,000 in the land transferred by Carl.
e. None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
e. None of these choices are correct.
Explanation:
Carl's gain = value of the note received + value of the mortgage - land's basis = $40,000 + $100,000 - $70,000 = $70,000
Snice the mortgage is higher than the basis ($100,000 higher than $70,000), this must be recognized as a Section 357 gain. The note receivable must also be recognized as gain since it doesn't qualify for Section 351.

Rivera Company has several processing departments. Costs charged to the Assembly Department for November 2020 totaled $2,283,744 as follows.
Work in process, November 1
Materials $78,600
Conversion costs 48,700 $127,300
Materials added 1,592,280
Labor 225,100
Overhead 339,064
Production records show that 35,200 units were in beginning work in process 30% complete as to conversion costs, 661,000 units were started into production, and 25,400 units were in ending work in process 40% complete as to conversion costs. Materials are entered at the beginning of each process.
Determine the equivalent units of production and the unit production costs for the Assembly Department. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)
Answer:
Equivalent units of Production for Materials.
= Units transferred out + Ending WIP
Units transferred out = Beginning WIP + Units started in production - Ending WIP
= 35,200 + 661,000 - 25,400
= 670,800 units
= 670,800 + 25,400
= 696,200 units
Equivalent units of Production for Conversion
= Units transferred out + Ending WIP Conversion
= 670,800 + (25,400 * 40%)
= 680,960 units
Units cost of production for Materials
= (Beginning material cost + Materials added) / Materials EUP
= (78,600 + 1,592,280) / 696,200
= $2.40
Units cost of production for Conversion
= (Beginning conversion + labor + overhead) / Conversion EUP
= (48,700 + 225,100 + 339,064) / 680,960
= $0.90

In 2004 a California woman named Lisa Torti was in a vehicle with her friend Alexandra Van Horn when they were involved in a car accident that was not their fault. Lisa, upon seeing what she thought was smoke, grabbed Alexandra and quickly pulled her out of the vehicle and away from danger. Alexandra had a severe spinal injury and later sued Lisa for moving her away from the smoking vehicle (and thereby causing more spinal injury).
Many states have laws that prevent bringing lawsuits against a "good samaritan" who is attempting to help you. However, in 2008 a California court ruled 4-3 that Alexandra’s lawsuit against Lisa was justified and could continue.
Assuming Lisa was in fact negligent in moving her friend from the vehicle, discuss your opinion on whether cases like this should be allowed to be brought. Under what circumstances should a "good samaritan" be allowed to be sued?
Explain your answer in 2 or more paragraphs. Then review a few of your classmates posts and give a substantive response to one of them with a paragraph.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
This case is complex because the "good samaritan" is always doing things trying to help and under these circumstances such as danger or accident, tje individual is under so much stress, nervousness, and fear. So more than thinking, he/she is reacting.
And that is what Lisa did when she saw smoke in the car. She thought that her friend could be in danger or great risk and her first reaction -not thinking- was to move her and keep her out of the danger zone.
Assuming Lisa was in fact negligent in moving her friend from the vehicle, the trial should proceed but it is difficult to demonstrate in court the real intentions of the "good samaritan."
The circumstances in which a "good samaritan" should be allowed to be sued is when there is clear evidence that he/she acted on purpose, trying to inflict pain or damage to the other person.
Lisa Torti was sued by her friend Alexandra Van Horn, after a car accident in 2004. The California court concluded that there was no medical reason to pull Alexandra out of the car, causing her vertebral damage.

Explanation:
The amount of the annual lease payments as calculated by the lessor and above situations are $86,033.44, $100,501.35, and $60,261.66 respectively. The amount lessee would record as a leased asset and a lease liability for above situations are $620,000, $1,000,000 $205,000 respectively.
What are lease payments?Lease payments are regular payments made to the lessor, who owns the asset, and the lessee, who will utilize it, as per the conditions of a contract. Before the lessee either returns the object or purchases it outright, the lease payments often continue for a predetermined amount of time.
a) For Situation 1:
Formula for calculating annual lease payments is:
Annual lease payments = Fair value of assets ÷ Present value for annuity due.
Where,
Fair Value of Assets of the leased asset = $620,000
Lease term = 12 years
Lessor's rate of return = 11%
The present value of annuity due 12 years at the rate of 11% is 7.2065
Putting in the values in the formula we get:
Annual lease payments = $620,000/7.2065 = $86,033.44
b) Formula for the lease liability = Annual rent payment × present value of annuity due.
Lease liability = $86,033.44 x 7.2065 = $620,000
For Situation 2:
a) The present value of annuity due 20 years at the rate of 9% is 9.9501
Annual lease payments = $100,000/9.9501 = $100,501.35
b) Lease liability = $100,501.35 x 9.9501 = $1,000,000
For Situation 3:
a) The present value of annuity due 4 years at the rate of 12% is 3.4081
Annual lease payments = $205,000/3.4081 = $60,261.66
b) The lease ability = $60,261.66 x 3.4801 = $205,000
Therefore, the amounts that of the lease payment for the lessor and the lessee is determined above.

Business has begun to pick up; lines are getting longer every day in her shop. On a busy morning, she sees her baristas scrambling to take orders, get cups, fill coffee from the coffee machine, add cream and sugar, and serve customers in a timely manner. She figures if she hires three more baristas she’ll be able to sell twice as much coffee.Adding more and more workers does not constantly increase production because of _______SELECT THE CORRECT ANSWER different productivity levels between various laborers.diminishing marginal costs.diminishing marginal product of labor.substitutes in production.
Answer:
diminishing marginal product of labor.
Explanation:
The diminishing marginal product of labor theory states that as more of a variable production factor is increased there will initially be an increase in production.
However as more of the variable factor is added increase in production reduces until increase in variable factor results in decrease in production.
In the given scenario where Edith employs 3 baristas, an increase to 6 may yield lower productivity per unit of employee added
Tanaka Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows:
Super Supreme
Sales price $90 $129
Variable cost per unit (69) (75)
Contribution margin per unit $21 $54
Fanning expects to incur annual fixed costs of $132,870. The relative sales mix of the products is 70 percent for Super and 30 percent for Supreme.
Required:
a. Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Tanaka must sell to break even.
b. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Tanaka sell to break even? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
A. 4,300 units
B.Units of super =3,010 Units
Units of Spreme =1,290 Units
Explanation:
a) Calculation to Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Tanaka must sell to break even.
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin per sales mix
Contribution margin per sales mix = (0.70*$21) + (0.30*$54)
Contribution margin per sales mix = $14.7+$16.2
Contribution margin per sales mix =$30.9
Now let calculate the Break-even Point In Unit using this formula
Break-even Point In Unit = Fixed Cost/
Contribution Margin Per Sales Mix
Let plug in the formula
Break-even Point In Unit= $132,870/$30.9
Break-even Point In Unit=4,300 units
Therefore the Break-even Point In Unit will be 4,300 units
b) Calculation to determine How many units each of Super and Supreme must Tanaka sell to break even
Units of super = 4,300 units *70%
Units of super =3,010 Units
Units of Spreme =3,660 units *30%
Units of Spreme =1,290 Units
Therefore How many units each of Super and Supreme must Tanaka sell to break even will be:
Units of super =3,010 Units
Units of Spreme =1,290 Units

An investor takes a long position in 3 futures contracts. The initial margin is $8,200 per contract and the maintenance margin is $6,000 per contract. At 1 p.m. today, the investor's total margin account balance is $15,490.64 and the investor receives a margin call. How much must the investor deposit into the margin account at 1 p.m. to keep the futures position open
Answer:
$3,036.45
Explanation:
Total Initial margin = Initial margin per contract * Number of contracts = $8,200 * 3 = $24,600
Total maintenance margin = maintenance per contract * Number of contracts = $6,000 * 3 = $18,000
Total margin account balance = $15,490.64
We observe Margin account balance < Maintenance margin
Margin call required = Initial margin - Total account balance
Deposit Amount = Total initial Margin - Total Margin Account balance = $24,600 - $15,490.64 = $9,109.36 or $9,109.36/3 = $3,036.45 per contract.

Instructions:
From the information, determine the total amount of:______.
(a) Manufacturing overhead.
(b) Product costs.
(c) Period costs.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The manufacturing overhead is
= factory utilities + depreciation on factory equipment + indirect factory labor + indirect material + factory manager salary + property tax + factory repairs
= $16,500 + $12,650 + $48,900 + $70,800 + $8,000 + $2,500 + $2,000
= $161,350
b. The product cost is
= Direct material used + direct labor + total manufacturing overhead
= $157,600 + $79,100 + $161,350
= $398,050
c. The period cost is
= Depreciation on delivery truck + sales salaries + repairs to office equipment + advertising + office supplies used
= $3,800 + $48,400 + $1,300 + $23,000 + $4,640
= $81,140
TheThe economic analysis of minimum wage involves both normative and positive analysis. Consider the following consequences of a minimum wage: a. The minimum wage law causes unemployment. b. Unemployment would be lower without a minimum wage law. c. Minimum wage laws benefit some workers and harm others. d. The minimum wage should be more than $7.25 per hour. economic analysis of minimum wage involves both normative and positive analysis. Consider the following consequences of a minimum wage:
Answer:
a. The minimum wage law causes unemployment. - Positive statement
This is a positive statement because it describes a factual statement about minimum wage. It does not say whether minimum wage is a good thing or not, even if the inherent quality of the statement can be somewhat inferred.
b. Unemployment would be lower without a minimum wage law. - Postive statement.
This is a positive statement for the same reasons as the statement above. Besides, this statement says exactly the opposite as the statement above.
c. Minimum wage laws benefit some workers and harm others. - Positive statement.
This statement is also positive, it does not establish whether minimum wage is a good or a bad, thing, and it also does not recommend any policy regarding minimum wage.
d. The minimum wage should be more than $7.25 per hour. - Normative statement.
This above is a normative statement. It clearly establishes a preference when it comes to minimum wage, and recommends a public policy according to it: $7.25 per hour.
An investor obtained a fully amortizing mortgage five years ago for $95,000 at 11-percent for 30 years. Mortgage rates have dropped, so that a fully amortizing 25-year loan can be obtained at 10-percent. There is no prepayment penalty on the mortgage balance of the original loan, but three points will be charged on the new loan and other closing costs will be $2,000. All payments are monthly.
Required:
a. Should the borrower refinance if he plans to own the property for the remaining loan term? Assume that the investor borrows only an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the loan.
b. Would your answer to part (a) change if he planned to own the property for only five more years?
Answer:
a) yes, you should refinance the loan
b) yes, you should refinance the loan
Explanation:
the original monthly payment = $904.71
after 60 payments, the principal owed = $838.79
the difference between both payments = $904.71 - $838.79 = $65.92
in order to determine whether the loan should be refinanced or not, we must find the present value of refinancing costs:
are 300 payments of $65.92 worth more than $2,000?
PV = $65.92 x 110.162 (PVIFA, 0.833%, 300 periods) = $7,261.88 ≥ $2,000
PV = $65.92 x 47.07(PVIFA, 0.833%, 60 periods) = $3,102.85 ≥ $2,000

Assuming that the balance sheet of BG Land Development is as follows:
Assets Liabilities and Capital
Cash $20,000 Accounts payable $80,000
Non-cash assets 200,000 Mitchell, Loan 10,000
Matthews, capital 50,000
Mitchell, capital 66,000
Michaels, capital 14,000
Total assets $220,000 Total Liab. and capital $220,000
Required:
If partners are to receive the final payment in a lump-sum, when BG Land Development is liquidated, Matthews receives $___, Mitchell receives $____, Michaels receives $____.
Answer:
BG Land Development
If partners are to receive the final payment in a lump-sum, when BG Land Development is liquidated, Matthews receives $_50,000__, Mitchell receives $_66,000___, Michaels receives $__14,000__.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets Liabilities and Capital
Cash $20,000 Accounts payable $80,000
Non-cash assets 200,000 Mitchell, Loan 10,000
Matthews, capital 50,000
Mitchell, capital 66,000
Michaels, capital 14,000
Total assets $220,000 Total Liab. and capital $220,000
