1 answer:

6 0

The company president does not believe that the formula should be altered for fear it will tarnish the company's brand. She prefers that the company spend more on marketing and increase the price. The company’s accountants believe that if marketing costs are increase by $400,000 then the company can achieve a selling price of $42 per bottle without losing any sales. At this price, will the company achieve its target operating income of 40% of revenue?

Total cost = $9,600,000

Add: Increase in marketing costs= 400 ,000

Total costs of redesigned table = $10 ,000,000

Revised cost per unit ($10,000,000 ÷ 400,000 units) = $25

Target cost per unit ($42 × 0.60) = $25.20

Yes, this proposal allows the company to meet its goal of target costs less than 60% of revenue and target operating income greater than 40% of revenue.

Step 1: Currently equals to $4,700

Step 2: It should equal $900

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us the ammount unexpired, which means the ending balance. So the diference will be the adjuting entry

Step 3: $4700 - $900 = $3,800

insurance expense debit for 3,800

PART B

Step 1: Curently equals to $5,890

Step 2: 5,890 - 1,040 expired portion = 4,850 unexpired portion

The blaance should be 4,850

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us the ammount expired, which means the adjusting entry. So the diference will be the ending balance

Step 3

insurance expense 1040 debit

prepaid insurance 1040credit

PART C

Answer:

rent expense 4,000 debit

prepaid rent 4,000 credit

Explanation:

C.- PrepaidRent. On September 1 of the current year, the company prepaid $24,000 for 2 years of rent for facilities being occupied that day. The company debited Prepaid Rent and credited Cash for $24,000.

Step 1 Current balance is 24,000

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us information about the contract, which means we are going to work to get the expired portion and with that calculate the ending balance like on part B

Step 2 We are at December 31th the expired portion will be 4 months (September, October, November and December) so:

24,000

----------------------------- x 4 months expired = 4,000 expired portion

24 month of contract

24,000 - 4,000 = 20,000

begining - expired = ending AKA "unexpired"

The balance should be equal to 20,000

Step 3: the adjusting entry should be done for 4,000 which is the expired portion of the rent.

rent expense 4,000 debit

prepaid rent 4,000 credit

Using a single plantwide rate from question 25, the factory overhead allocated per unit of Product A in the Painting Department

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a. $236.32 per unit

Explanation:

The Full question is "Adirondak Marketing Inc. manufactures two products, A and B. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating overhead to products. However, management is considering moving to a multiple department rate system for allocating overhead. Overhead Total Direct Labor Hours DLH per Product A B Painting Dept. $250,000 10,000 16 4 Finishing Dept. 75,000 12,000 4 16 Totals $325,000 22,000 20 20"

A single plant wide factory overhead rate is been used. Thus, Overhead rate per hour = $325000 / 22000 hrs = $14.77

The total hours required to produce a product = 20 hours in painting + 20 hours in finishing

The total hours required to produce a product = 40 hours

Overhead per product = Overhead rate per hour * The total hours required to produce a product

Overhead per product = $590.8

The DLH required for a product A in painting department = 16 DLH

. Overhead rate per unit for product A in painting department = ($590.8/40 DLH) *16 DLH = $236.32 Per Unit
