In 2013, Space Technology Company modified its model Z2 satellite to incorporate a new communication device. The company made th

e following expenditures:
Basic research to develop the technology $ 2,000,000
Engineering design work 680,000
Development of a prototype device 300,000
Acquisition of equipment 60,000
Testing and modification of the prototype 200,000
Legal and other fees for patent application on the new
communication system 40,000
Legal fees for successful defense of the new patent 20,000
Total $ 3,300,000
The equipment will be used on this and other research projects. Depreciation on the equipment for 2013 is $10,000.
During your year-end review of the accounts related to intangibles, you discover that the company has capitalized all of the above as costs of the patent. Management contends that the device simply represents an improvement of the existing communication system of the satellite and, therefore, should be capitalized.
Required:
Prepare correcting entries that reflect the appropriate treatment of the expenditures.
1. Record the correcting entry to expense R&D costs incorrectly capitalized
2. Record the correcting entry to capitalize the cost of equipment incorrectly capitalized as a patent.
3. Record the correcting entry to record depreciation on equipment used in R&D projects.

Imagine that the U.S. Congress, recognizing the importance of being well dressed, started giveing preferential tax treatment to
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Part a.

If the Congress of country U to clothing insurance gives a preferential tax treatment, and the insurance company agrees to pay 80% of the clothing expenses and the tax subsidizes the insurance premium, it will result in increase in the consumption of clothes, because people will buy clothes as if they were free.

With this change in behavior there will be decline in economic efficiency because purchasing of formal and expensive clothing is not done on a regular basis, with clothing insurance people will buy less costly daily wear clothes at subsidized rates or for free and the price of clothes will decrease.

Part b.

People who can pay for the 20% remaining cost of clothes will buy insurance clothing and those who can pay the premium. Moreover, the rich will over consume than the poor because they are the ones who will give more importance to good clothing.

Part c.

If a person spends $2000 on clothing the clothing, insurance cost will be more than $2000 because higher the probability of claim higher will be the premium charged by the insurance company.

Part d.  

This is not a good idea by the Congress of country U because good clothing is something every person would like to have. Like in health insurance, people should be insured for big life threatening health issues and for minor health issues people should pay out of their pockets, because people take health insurance benefits for minor health issues since health is more or less free in the COUNTRY U. The high premium costs and high prices are completely ignored.

Kulka Corporation manufactures two products: Product F82D and Product T05P. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on
ipn [44]

Answer:

b. $303,000

Explanation:

The activity rate

1. Machining = $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{180000}{9000}$

                   = $ 20 per machine hour

2. Machine set up =   $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{125000}{250}$

                   = $ 500 per set up

3. Product design =  $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{44000}{2}$

                   = $ 22000 per product

4. Order size =  $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{260000}{10000}$

                   = $ 26 per direct labor hour

Now the ABC cost (Product T05P)

1. Machining  = $\text{machine hours} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 4000 x 20

                     = $ 80,000

2. Machine set ups =  $\text{no. of set ups} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 90 x 500

                     = $ 45,000

3. Product design =  $\text{no. of products} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 1 x 22000

                     = $ 22,000

4. Order size =  $\text{direct labor hours} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 6000 x 26

                     = $ 156,000

Therefore, the total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to product T05P = 80000 + 45000 + 22000 + 156000

= $ 303,000

<u>Year 1 </u>

Jan. 8. Purchased a used delivery truck for $24,000, paying cash.

  • Dr Truck 24,000
  •     Cr Cash 24,000

Mar. 7. Paid garage $900 for changing the oil, replacing the oil filter, and tuning the engine on the delivery truck.

  • Dr Maintenance expenses - Truck 900
  •     Cr Cash 900

Dec. 31. Recorded depreciation on the truck for the fiscal year. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years, with a residual value of $4,000 for the truck.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x $24,000 = $12,000

  • Dr Depreciation expense 12,000
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 12,000

<u>Year 2 </u>

Jan. 9. Purchased a new truck for $50,000, paying cash.

  • Dr Truck new 50,000
  •     Cr Cash 50,000

Feb. 28. Paid garage $250 to tune the engine and make other minor repairs on the used truck.

  • Dr Maintenance expenses - Truck 250
  •     Cr Cash 250

Apr. 30. Sold the used truck for $9,500. (Record depreciation to date in Year 2 for the truck.)

depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x 4/12 x $12,000 = $2,000

  • Dr Depreciation expense 2,000
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 2,000

truck sold at $9,500 - $10,000 (carrying value) = -$500 loss on sale

  • Dr Cash 9,500
  • Dr Accumulated depreciation 14,000
  • Dr Loss on sale - truck 500
  •     Cr Truck 24,000

Dec. 31. Record depreciation for the new truck. It has an estimated residual value of $12,000 and an estimated life of eight years.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.125 x $50,000 = $12,500

  • Dr Depreciation expense 12,500
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck new 12,500

<u>Year 3 </u>

Sept. 1. Purchased a new truck for $58,500, paying cash.

  •     Cr Cash 58,500

Sept. 4. Sold the truck purchased January 9, Year 2, for $36,000. (Record depreciation to date for Year 3 for the truck.)

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.125 x 8/12 x $37,500 = $6,250

  • Dr Depreciation expense 6,250
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck new 6,250

truck sold at $36,000 - $31,250 (carrying value) = $4,750 gain on sale

  • Dr Cash 36,000
  • Dr Accumulated depreciation 18,750
  •     Cr Truck new 50,000
  •     Cr Gain on sale - truck new 4,750

Dec. 31. Recorded depreciation on the remaining truck. It has an estimated residual value of $16,000 and an estimated useful life of 10 years.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.1 x 4/12 x $58,500 = $3,900

  • Dr Depreciation expense 3,900
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck three 3,900

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Break-even units = 66.67 units

Explanation:

<em>Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.</em>

<em>The break-even point is calculated as </em>

<em>Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period + target profit)/ contribution per unit</em>

Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost

Contribution per unit = 15- (1+3+0.50) = 10.5

Fixed cost = 500 +( 50× 4) = 700

So the units requited to achieve break-even point:

Break-even point =  700/10.5

                            = 66.67 units
