The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,980 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $660 and $460 for materials, and charges of $560 and $740 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Predetermine overhead rate as a percentage of direct labor cost is 120%

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we first need to determine the total overheads under the balance of $3980 for two jobs.

The total cost of both jobs which are uncompleted equals,

Total cost both jobs = (660 + 560)   +   (460 + 740)

Total cost both jobs = 1220 + 1200  = $2420

Thus, the overhead cost involved in both jobs is,

Total Overhead cost = 3980 - 2420    = $1560

This total overhead of $1560 has been absorbed on the basis of a predetermine overhead rate based on the direct labor cost. The total direct labor cost involved under both uncompleted jobs is,

Total direct labor cost both jobs = 560 +740   = $1300

So, the predetermined overhead rate is,

Overhead rate = Total overheads / total direct labor cost

Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300    

Overhead rate = $1.2 per $1 of direct labor cost

Expressed as a percentage of direct labor cost, it is:

% Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300    * 100   =  120% of direct labor cost

The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $24.55.

                                           Notes payable                                 $25,000

Note: As the merchandise company issued a note for the credit purchase of merchandise inventory, notes payable is used instead of accounts payable.

Dec. 31, 2016             Interest expense                      $250

                                               Interest payable                             $250

Note: Adjusting entry is needed as the fiscal year is ended on 31st December, therefore, there will be an accrued interest expense to be paid for one month. The calculation of interest expense = $25,000 × 12% × (30 ÷ 360) [assuming  1 year = 360 days, 1 month = 30 days]. = $250 for one month's accrual.

Requirement B

                                                      Cash                                      $26,000

Note: At the end of the maturity date, the buyer will pay all the bills of the notes plus interest. Interest payable becomes debit as it did not pay by the buyer on 31st December, 2016. The remaining interest = $25,000 × 12% × (90 ÷ 360) = $750. Total cash will be paid after the maturity = $25,000 + $250 + $750 = $26,000.

Answer:

1.Aggregate supply falls

2.Aggregate supply falls  

3.Aggregate supply rises due to rise in productivity.

           

Explanation:

1. In simple words, when the cost of production rises the profit margin of the supplier decreases leading as an incentive to supply less.      

2. If the price of the input rises the cost of production also rises leading to lower supply because of lower profit margins.

3. The technological improvement leading to high production would lead to more profits and advantage of economies of scale thus working as an invective to supply more.

Sam bought 100 shares of common stock on company A at the price of $40.97 per share on June 1. Since then Sam has closely watched the monthly prices for company A: $45.19 on July 1, $49.75 on August 1 and $51.58 on September 1 of the same year. company A doesn’t pay any dividend. Based on the stock performance over these three months, what is the standard deviation for monthly returns on company A?A. 10.50%
B. 10.09%
C. 3.68%
D. 3.76%

The standard deviation for monthly returns on company A is approximately 8.03%

What is the standard deviation for monthly returns on company A

To calculate the standard deviation of monthly returns, we need to first calculate the monthly returns for the three months of observation. We can do this by using the formula:

Monthly Return = (Current Price - Purchase Price) / Purchase Price

For July 1:

Monthly Return = ($45.19 - $40.97) / $40.97 = 0.103 or 10.3%

For August 1:

Monthly Return = ($49.75 - $40.97) / $40.97 = 0.2143 or 21.43%

For September 1:

Monthly Return = ($51.58 - $40.97) / $40.97 = 0.2589 or 25.89%

Next, we need to calculate the average monthly return (R) over the three months:

R = (10.3% + 21.43% + 25.89%) / 3 = 19.2%

Now, we can calculate the standard deviation (σ) of the monthly returns using the formula:

σ = √ [(Σ (Ri - R)^2) / (n - 1)]

where Ri is the return for the ith month, and n is the number of observations (in this case, n = 3).

Plugging in the values, we get:

σ = √[((10.3% - 19.2%)^2 + (21.43% - 19.2%)^2 + (25.89% - 19.2%)^2) / (3 - 1)]

= √[(94.86 + 3.62 + 35.37) / 2]

= √[(133.85) / 2]

= 8.03%
