Compute the Work-In-Process transferred to the finished goods warehouse on April 30 using the following information:
Work-In-Process Inventory, April 30 $245
Direct materials purchased during April $220
Work-In-Process inventory, April 1 $270
Direct labor costs incurred $370
Manufacturing overhead costs $320
Direct materials used in production $195
Answer:
$910
Explanation:
Computation for the Work-in-Process transferred to the finished goods warehouse on April 30
Using this formula
Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse=Work-In-Process Inventory, April 1+(Direct materials used in production+Direct labor costs incurred +Manufacturing overhead costs)-Work-In-Process Inventory, April 30
Let plug in the formula
Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse=$270 + ($195 + $370 + $320) - $245
Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse=$270 +$885-$245
Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse= $910
Therefore the Work-in-Process transferred to the finished goods warehouse on April 30 is $910

The marginal seller is the seller who Group of answer choices cannot compete with the other sellers in the market. would leave the market first if the price were any lower. can produce at the lowest cost. has the largest producer surplus.
Answer:
would leave the market first if the price were any lower.
Explanation:
Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.
Thus, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.
In Economics, The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.
A marginal seller refers to an individual or business firm that is most willing to sell his or her goods and services at a price that is typically equal to their economic cost while forfeiting producer surplus.
A producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.
Hence, a marginal seller is the seller who would leave the market first if the price were any lower.
A company ABC has contracted a third-party logistics company XYZ. Which one of the following functions is least likely to be provided by the third-party logistics company (XYZ) to ABC?
a. inventory control
b. customer service function (e.g., storing spare parts)
c. transportation of goods
d. warehouse management
e. production of components
Answer: Warehouse management
Explanation:
Since the company ABC contracted a third-party logistics company XYZ, some of the functions that can be provided by the third-party logistics company (XYZ) to ABC include:
• inventory control
• customer service function (e.g., storing spare parts)
• transportation of goods
• production of components
It should be noted that performing warehouse management is very unlikely. This simply means the oversight with regards to the operations in the warehouse such as receiving inventory, tracking inventory, managing shipping etc. This should be provided by ABC and not XYZ.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides a toll-free help line for taxpayers to call in and get answers to questions as they prepare their tax returns. In recent years, the IRS has been inundated with taxpayer calls and has redesigned its phone service as well as posting answers to frequently asked questions on its website (The Cincinnati Enquirer, January 7, 2010). According to a report by a taxpayer advocate, callers using the new system can expect to wait on hold for an unreasonably long time of minutes before being able to talk to an IRS employee. Suppose you select a sample of callers after the new phone service has been implemented; the sample results show a mean waiting time of minutes before an IRS employee comes on line. Based upon data from past years, you decide it is reasonable to assume that the standard deviation of waiting times is minutes. Use .
a. State the hypotheses. :
b. What is the -value (to 4 decimals)?
c. Using , can you conclude that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of minutes made by the taxpayer advocate.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides a toll-free help line for taxpayers to call in and get answers to questions as they prepare their tax returns. In recent years, the IRS has been inundated with taxpayer calls and has redesigned its phone service as well as posting answers to frequently asked questions on its website (The Cincinnati Enquirer, January 7, 2010). According to a report by a taxpayer advocate, callers using the new system can expect to wait on hold for an unreasonably long time of 14 minutes before being able to talk to an IRS employee. Suppose you select a sample of 50 callers after the new phone service has been implemented; the sample results show a mean waiting time of 12 minutes before an IRS employee comes on line. Based upon data from past years, you decide it is reasonable to assume that the standard deviation of waiting times is 10 minutes. Use a = 0.05.
a. State the hypotheses.
b. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)?
c. Using a = 0.05, can you conclude that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate
Answer:
A) Null hypothesis; H0: μ ≥ 14
Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ < 14
B) P-value ≈ 0.0793
C) The p-value is less than the significance value and thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the evidence is not sufficient to reject the claim that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate
Explanation:
We are given;
Population mean time; μ = 14
Sample mean time; x¯ = 12
Population size; n = 50
Standard deviation; σ = 10
A) Let's state the hypotheses;
Null hypothesis; H0: μ ≥ 14
Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ < 14
B) Let's first find the test statistic from the formula;
z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)
z = (12 - 14)/(10/√50)
z = -1.41
From online p-value from z-score calculator attached using; z = -1.41: α = 0.05 and one tailed hypothesis, we have;
P-value ≈ 0.0793
C) The p-value is less than the significance value and thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the evidence is not sufficient to reject the claim that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate

Martin Company manufactures a powerful cleaning solvent. The main ingredient in the solvent is a raw material called Echol. Information concerning the purchase and use of Echol follows:
Purchase of Echol Echol is purchased in 15-gallon containers at a cost of $115 per container. A discount of 2% is offered by the supplier for payment within 10 days, and Martin Company takes all discounts. Shipping costs, which Martin Company must pay, amount to $130 for an average shipment of 100 15-gallon containers of Echol.
Use of Echol The bill of materials calls for 7.6 quarts of Echol per bottle of cleaning solvent. (Each gallon contains four quarts.) About 5% of all Echol used is lost through spillage or evaporation. In addition, statistical analysis has shown that every 41st bottle is rejected at final inspection because of contamination.
Required:
a. Compute the standard purchase price for one quart of Echol.
b. Compute the standard quantity of Echol (in quarts) per salable bottle of cleaning solvent.
c. Using the data from (1) and (2) above, prepare a standard cost card showing the standard cost of Echol per bottle of cleaning solvent.
Answer: a. $1.90
b. 8.2 quarts
c. $15.58
Explanation:
a. Compute the standard purchase price for one quart of Echol.
Cost per 15 gallon container = $115
Less: Cash discount= 2% × $115 = $2.30
Net cost = $115 - $2.30 = $112.70
Add: Shipping cost = $139/100 = $1.30
Total cost = $112.70 + $1.30 = $114
Number of quarts per container = (15 × 4) = 60
Standard cost per quart = $114/60 = $1.90
b. Compute the standard quantity of Echol (in quarts) per salable bottle of cleaning solvent.
Content per bill of materials = 7.6 quart
Add: Allowance for evaporation and spillage = 8.0 - 7.6 = 0.4 quart
Add: Allowance for rejected unit = 8.0/40 = 0.2 quarts
Standard quantity of Echol per salable bottle of cleaning solvent = 7.6 + 0.4 + 0.2 = 8.2 quarts
c. Using the data from (1) and (2) above, prepare a standard cost card showing the standard cost of Echol per bottle of cleaning solvent.
This will be:
= 8.2 quart × $1.90 per quart
= $15.58

Durango Co. has cash receipts of $120,000 and total cash disbursements of $112,000. Durango Co. started with a beginning cash balance of $4,000 and desires an ending cash balance of $8,000. Durango Co. can borrow money in $1,000 increments. How much debt can Durango Co. repay and still meet its desired cash requirement?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Form the above, we can compute Durango Co loan repayment as seen below;
= Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts - total cash disbursement
= $4,000 + $120,000 - $112,500 = 11,500
Ending cash balance = $8,000
Then,
= $11,500 - $8,000
= $2,500
It therefore means that Durango Co. can repay $2,500 and still meets its desired cash requirement
a. Develop a probability distribution for x
b. Compute the expected value of x
c. Compute the variance and standard deviation for x
d. Comment on what your results imply about wind conditions during boating accidents
a. Answer:The corresponding probabilities are obtained by converting the percentages into probabilities. That is, by dividing each value with 100.
F/N (where F =percentage of accidents and N =100)
Explanation:
X 0 1 2 3 4
f(X) 0.096 0.57 0.238 0.077 0.019
b. The formula for the expected value of a discrete random variable is E(x)= µ=∑xf(x)
X F(X) X.f(X)
0 0.096 0
1 0.57 0.57
2 0.238 0.476
3 0.077 0.231
4 0.019 0.076
Total 1 1.353
Hence, the value for expected value of X is 1.353
The formula for the variance of the discrete random variables is Var(x)= σ² =∑(x-µ)²f(x)
X F(X) (x-µ) (x-µ)² (x-µ)².f(x)
0 0.096 -1.353 1.8306 0.1757
1 0.57 -0.353 0.1246 0.0710
2 0.238 0.647 0.4186 0.0996
3 0.077 1.647 2.7126 0.2089
4 0.019 2.647 7.0066 0.1331
Total 1 3.235 12.0930 0.6884
Hence, the variance of the random variable x is 0.6884
The formula for the standard deviation of the discrete random variables is
σ=√(∑[(x-µ)².f(x)] )
Thus, the standard deviation is σ= √0.6884
=0.8297
Hence, the standard deviation of the random variable x is 0.8297
Assume that Parker Company will receive SF100,000 in 360 days. Assume the following interest rates: U.S. Switzerland 360-day borrowing rate 7% 5% 360-day deposit rate 6% 4% Assume the forward rate of the Swiss franc is $1.0455 and the spot rate of the Swiss franc is $1.0037. If Parker Company uses a Money Market Hedge, it will receive _____in 360 days.
Answer:
$99,414
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much he will receive If Parker Company uses a Money Market Hedge,
First step is to determine the amount borrowed
Borrowed=(SF100,000/1.05)
Borrowed= SF95,238
Second step is convert SF95,238 to dollar
SF 95,238*$1.0037
=$95,590.38
Now let determine the amount to receive
Amount received=$95,590.38*1.04
Amount received=$99,414
Therefore If Parker Company uses a Money Market Hedge, it will receive $99,414 in 360 days.
Output from a process contains 0.02 defective units. Defective units that go undetected into final assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detect and remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector, who van test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benefits. Should an inspection station be established to test all units
Answer: Inspection station should be established.
Explanation:
Cost to company if defect is not detected:
= Cost to replace * percentage defects * number of units tested per hour
= 25 * 0.02 * 20 units
= $10 per hour
Inspector is paid $8 per hour.
The fees to the inspector are less than the cost of replacement so the Inspection station should be established as it saves costs.
Absorption and Variable Costing; Inventory Valuation Bondware Inc., has a highly automated assembly line that uses very little direct labor. Therefore, direct labor is part of variable overhead. For March, assume that it incurred the following unit costs: Direct materials $520 Variable overhead 460 Fixed overhead 180The 100 units of beginning inventory for March had an absorption costing value of $92,000 and a variable costing value of $78,000. For March, assume that Bondware Inc. produced 500 units and sold 540 units.
Compute Bondware's March Cost of Goods Sold using both the variable and absorption costing methods.

In recent years, rules have tightened such that those who work for the U.S. government in trade negotiations are now restricted from working for lobbyists for foreign firms. Take the stance of either for or against that statement. Provide justification for your stance.
Answer: For this statement.
Explanation:
People will generally offer their loyalties to those who pay them the highest or who pay them at all and companies will typically be loyal to their country of origin.
What this means is that trade negotiators who work for lobbyists of foreign firms will typically want to advance the interests of the foreign firms when negotiating trade deals for the U.S. government.
This presents a problem because the foreign companies might want to negotiate a deal that favors their own countries over the United States so if trade negotiators that are on their side are the ones negotiating for the United States, the U.S. might not get a good enough deal.
Imagine for instance, a person negotiating a trade deal for the U.S. with China but the person works for lobbyists of Huawei. It is reasonable to assume that the person would want to advance the interests of China on behalf of Huawei. Restricting such a person from negotiating for the U.S. reduces such a possibility.
Globe Manufacturing Company has just obtained a request for a special order of 12,000 units to be shipped at the end of the current year at a discount price of $7.00 each. The company has a production capacity of 90,000 units per year. At present, Globe is only selling 80,000 units per year through regular channels at a selling price of $11.00 each. Globe's per unit costs at an 80,000 unit level of production and sales are as follows:
Variable manufacturing expenses $4.60
Fixed manufacturing expenses $1.80
Variable selling and administrative expenses $1.00
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $0.45
Variable selling and administrative expense will drop to $0.30 per unit on the special order units. The special order has to be taken in its entirety. This means that by accepting the special order, Globe will be forced to not sell 2,000 units to its regular customers.
Required:
If Globe accepts this special order, by what amount will its net operating income increase or decrease?
Answer:
Globe Manufacturing Company
f Globe accepts this special order, its net operating income will decrease by:
= $19,300.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order units = 12,000
Special order price = $7.00 each
Annual Production Capacity = 90,000 units
Annual Sales Units = 80,000
Normal selling price = $11
Per unit costs at 80,000 units level:
Variable manufacturing expenses $4.60
Fixed manufacturing expenses $1.80
Variable selling and administrative expenses $1.00
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $0.45
Variable manufacturing expenses $4.60 * 12,000 = $55,200
Fixed manufacturing expenses $1.80 * 10,000 = $18,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses $0.30 * 12,000 = $3,600
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $0.45 * 10,000 = $4,500
Lost revenue from non-sale of 2,000 at $11 = $22,000
Total costs of special order = $103,300
Sales revenue from special order = $84,000 ($7 * 12,000)
The net operating income will decrease by $19,300 ($103,300 - $84,000)
Steel and aluminum are substitutes. If the price of steel increases, other things remaining the same, we would expect the price of aluminum to __________ and the equilibrium quantity of aluminum to__________
For the 1st question, the options are increase, decrease, remain unchanged
For the 2nd question, the options are increase, decrease, remain unchanged
Answer:
increase
increase
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If price of steel increases, demand for aluminium increases. this shifts its demand curve to the right. Equilibrium quantity and price increases as a aresult
If demand increases and supply stays the same, price will be………
Answer:
If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
Explanation:
If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply increases, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.
Answer:
If demand increases and supply stays the same then equilibrium quantity goes up, and equilibrium price goes up. If demand decreases and supply increases then equilibrium quantity could go up, down, or stay the same, and equilibrium price will go down

When the price of Milk is $5 per gallon consumers demand 1,000 boxes of Boo Berry Cereal. When the price of milk increases to $5.50 per gallon consumers demand 700 boxes of Boo Berry Cereal.
Required:
a. What is the percentage change in the price of milk?
b. What is the percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal?
Answer: a. 10%
b. -30%
Explanation:
a. What is the percentage change in the price of milk?
Old price = $5.00
New price = $5.50
Percentage change = ($5.50 - $5.00)/$5.00 × 100
= 0.50/5.00 × 100
= 1/10 × 100
= 10%
Percentage change on price = 10%
b. What is the percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal?
Old quantity = 1000
New quantity = 700
Percentage change = (700 - 1000)/1000 × 100
= -300/1000 × 100
= -30%
The percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal is -30%.
Accountants focus on creating financial statements, whereas finance professionals use these statements to evaluate a firm and answer questions about its performance. Indicate which financial statement you would refer to when answering the questions in the following table:
Income Statement Statement of Retained Earnings
How profitable has the firm been?
How much of the firm's earnings are left as balance after the firm pays out dividends to its shareholders?
If compensation for senior management is based on short-term performance of the firm, in the short run the firm is likely to:
a. Overstate its earnings
b. Understate its earnings
Answer:
1. Indication of financial statement to refer to when answering questions in the following table:
Question Financial Statement
How profitable has the firm been? Income Statement
How much of the firm's earnings are Statement of Retained Earnings
left as balance after the firm pays out
dividends to its shareholders?
2. If compensation for senior management is based on short-term performance of the firm, in the short run the firm is likely to:
a. Overstate its earnings
Explanation:
Company A's Income Statement shows its profit performance at different levels. At one level is the gross profit, which shows the difference between the net sales or service revenue and the cost of sales/service. At another level is the operating income, which is the income before interest and taxes. The next important level is the net income, which is the profit after taxes.

Bloom Company management predicts that it will incur fixed costs of $266,000 and earn pretax income of $360,400 in the next period. Its expected contribution margin ratio is 54%. Required: 1. Compute the amount of total dollar sales. 2. Compute the amount of total variable costs.
Answer:
1. $1,160,000
2. $534,600
Explanation:
1. Computation for the amount of total dollar sales
Using this formula
Total dollar sales=Fixed costs plus pretax income / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Total dollar sales=$626,400 / 54%
Total dollar sales =$1,160,000
($266,000+$360,400=$626,400)
Therefore the amount of total dollar sales is $1,160,000
2.Computation for the amount of total variable costs.
Sales $1,160,000
Less:
Fixed costs ($265,000)
Pretax income ($360,400)
Variable costs $534,600
Therefore the amount of total variable costs is $534,600
A recent news story reported that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is expected to decrease the supply of oil next summer. Summer is traditionally a time of increased demand for oil because of vacation travel. What would be the combined effect of these two events on the summer market for gasoline?
a) an unpredictable change in the price and a decrease in the quantity
b) an unpredictable change in both the price and the quantity
c) an increase in the price and an unpredictable change in the quantity
d) an increase in the price and the quantity
Answer:
Option "C" is the answer.
Explanation:
Option "C" is the answer.
The decrease in the supply of oil will shift the supply curve leftwards. Similarly, the increases in the demand will shift the demand curve rightwards. The leftwards shift in the supply and rightward shift in the demand curve will result in an increase in price but the change in quantity can not be predicted because the magnitude of change will depend on the shift in the curves.
The cost method of accounting for stock: __________
a. recognizes dividends as income
b. is only appropriate as part of a consolidation
c. requires the investment be increased by the reported net income of the investee
d. requires the investment be decreased by the reported net income of the investee
Answer:
Option a (recognizes.................income) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The proportion of even more inventories is below 20 percent, therefore the firm sends dividends on the inventories which are incorporated into the personal income tax rate.Dividends paid mostly by the investor, not adjusting as necessary for the investor's total earnings, should be declared as compensation or earnings.The provided situation is not connected with other possibilities. So the above option is the correct answer.
Imagine you own a food truck that sells gourmet vegan tacos. You rely on many suppliers, all of which also supply their goods to your competitors (other food trucks in the area). For some items, like paper plates and napkins, you have several suppliers. For other items, like extra-firm tofu, you rely on a single supplier. What is an industry analysis most likely to suggest?
a) The power of suppliers is relatively high for some items and relatively low for others. You should find other suppliers of extra-firm tofu so that you have a more diverse supply
b) The power of suppliers is high overall, because you have so many of them You need to consolidate to fewer suppliers, so you have more bargaining power
c) The power of suppliers is relatively low since you work with so many of them. However, you should have your tofu supplier also supply your paper plates and napkins so that you have a more diverse supply of these paper products
d) None of the above Ос.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Because there are plenty of suppliers for some goods, the food truck owner is more powerful in this case than the suppliers. Here the power of suppliers is low
For the other goods with only a single supplier. the supplier has more powerful than the taco seller. here the power of supplier is high. If the supplier increases price, the taco seller would most likely have an inelastic demand and would be at the mercy of the supplier
thus, the power of suppliers is relatively high for some items and relatively low for others.
