Answer:
$17,835.90
Explanation:
Currently Hodgkiss is operating at 92% of its fixed asset capacity, so they have an spare 8% to grow without adding any more fixed assets: ($780,000 / 92) x 100 = $847,826.09.
So they need to add fix assets in to increase its production by $32,173.91 (= $880,000 - $847,826.09).
Every dollar spent in fixed assets generates at full capacity $1.8039 in production output (= $847,826 / $470,000).
If they want to increase production by $32,174, they will need to spend $17,835.90 in fixed assets.
Answer:
December 31 Interest expense $3900 Dr
Interest Payable $3900 Cr
Explanation:
The interest and principal is both payable at maturity thus we need to accrue the interest payment and create a liability against the amount of interest due. The adjustment is made 6 months from the issue of the note thus the interest for 6 months is due. The entry would be to record 6 month's interest that relates to this year. The interest expense will be,
120000 * 0.065 * 6/12 = $3900
As the payment is not made until maturity we will credit interest payable by this amount.
Answer:
We should not lower taxes for the wealthiest Americans because they own and run a lot of companies and businesses that we use. Lower income Americans want their leaders to understand or know what it’s like to be less wealthy so they’ll be more sympathetic towards lower income people and won’t do everything out of the want for more money. If they have to pay lower taxes, then that takes away from their ability to sympathize with lower income homes, and that would upset a lot of people.
Answer:
8,450 Favorable
; 3,206 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead spending variance:
= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours
= ($3 × 18,731) - $47,743
= 8,450 Favorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance:
= (Standard hour - Actual hour) × Standard rate
= [(11,620 × 1.52) - 18,731] × $3
= (-1,068.6) × $3
= 3,206 Unfavorable
