Product U23N has been considered a drag on profits at Jinkerson Corporation for some time and management is considering disconti

nuing the product altogether. Data from the company’s budget for the upcoming year appear below:Sales.................................................................$730,000Variable expenses.............................................$350,000Fixed manufacturing expenses.........................$234,000Fixed selling and administrative expenses........$161,000In the company's accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $144,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $93,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product U23N is discontinued. The financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product for the upcoming year would be:

Answer:

                                 Product U23N

                                                                                          $

        Sales                                                                     730,000

Less: Variable cost                                                        350,000

         Contribution                                                          380,000

Less: Avoidable fixed manufacturing expenses           144,000

         Avoidable fixed selling and administrative cost  <u>93,000</u>

         Net contribution                                                    <u> 143,000</u>

Product U23N should not be discontinued because it has a positive contribution. If the company discontinued the product, the total profit of the company reduces by $143,000.

Explanation:

In this case, we need to determine the net contribution of the product.  Net contribution is the excess of sales over variable cost and avoidable fixed cost. Product U23N should not be discontinued because it has a positive net contribution. If the product is deleted, there will be a reduction in total profit of the company by $143,000.

Suppose the number of people employed (E) is currently 100 and the number unemployed (U) is 10 and the labor force is fixed at 1
artcher [175]

Answer:

9.09% and 5.263%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The current rate of unemployment is

= Number of Unemployed people ÷ labor force

= 10 ÷ 110

= 9.09%

b. The natural rate of unemployment is

= Separation rate ÷ Separation rate + finding rate

= 0.01 ÷ 0.01 + 0.18

= 0.01 ÷ 0.19

= 5.263%

These both should be expressed in a percentage forms

When should supplies be recorded as an expense?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Supplies should be recorded as an expense when it is used up during an accounting period.

Explanation:

Supplies which is also refers to as office supplies can be described as consumables and equipment which are used from time to time by company. Examples of office supplies include printer paper, pencils, notebooks, binders, pens and among others.

When supplies are bought before they are used, they are recorded as office supplies by adding them to office supplies on hand at the beginning of to obtain total supplies for an accounting period under the current asset in the balance sheet. Any part of the office supplies used up during an accounting period is recorded an expense during that accounting period in the income statement. The part used is deducted from the total supplies obtained supplies on hand at the an accounting period to be recorded under the current asset in the balance sheet.

Therefore, supplies should be recorded as an expense when it is used up during an accounting period.

Variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $245,000. Fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $373,000. Actual machine-hours
steposvetlana [31]

Before information shows is the correct and complete question.

The Lopez Company use a standard costing in its manufacturing plant for the auto part. The standard cost of particular auto part based on a denominator level of a 4.000 output unit per year. included 6 machine-hours of variable manufacturing overhead at $8 per hour and 6 machine-hours of fixed manufacturing overhead at $15 per hour.

Actual output produced was 4.400 units.

Variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $245.000.

Fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $373.000.

Actual machine-hours were 28.400.

Prepare the analysis of all variable manufacturing overhead and fixed manufacturing overhead variances.

Additional diagram attached to this question is displayed in the first image below.

Answer:

Explanation:

By using a columnar method, the analysis of all the variance & fixed manufacturing overhead varaince can be computed as follows:

Variable manufacturing overhead analysis:

Actual cost Incurred: ║ Actual input ×  Budgeted ║ Allocated: Budgeted

Actual input × Actual     rate                                        Input for actual output

rate                                                                               × Budgeted rate

245000                         28400×$8.00 = 227200      (4400×6hrs×$8)

                                                                                      = 211,200

                17800 U                    16800  U

            Spending Variance      Efficiency Variance

                                      33800 U

                                Flexible Budget Variance

Hence;

The spending Variance = $17,800 U

Efficiency Variance  = $16,000 U

Flexible Budget Varaince = $33800 U

where;   F = Favourable  & U = Unfavourable

<u>For the fixed Manufacturing Overhead:</u>

Actual cost Incurred: ║ Flexible Budget Lump ║ Allocated: Budgeted

Actual input × Actual     sum regardless of the    Input for actual output

rate                                 output level                     × Budgeted rate

                                                                             

373000                        4000×6hrs×15 = 360000  (4400×6hrs×$15)

                                                                                      = 396000

13000 U                                   36000  F

Spending Variance/               Production-Volume

Flexible budgeted variance   Variance

                                                 23000 F

                                        Over allocated fixed

                                        Overhead

Hence;

The spending Variance = $13000 U

The production Volume Variance  = $36,000 F

Over allocated fixed overhead = $23000 F

where;   F = Favourable  & U = Unfavourable

NOTE: To have a better view of the above computation in a table format, refer to the second and the third diagram in the image below.

Adam was found to have used his license to procure insurance for relatives and it was also discovered that he was issuing rebate
Temka [501]

Adam's license will be suspended or revoked. It's because he was determined to have used his license to obtain insurance for family members and because it was found that he was giving insureds rebates.

After being found guilty of a significant traffic infraction, failing a road test, or providing false information on a government form, a license is frequently cancelled. One of the best rights is the ability to drive, therefore it's critical to understand whether your license is suspended or revoked as well as your options if it is. An "Administrative Review Suspension" is a unique classification of suspension used in several jurisdictions. This is given to persons whose medical conditions make it risky for them to operate a motor vehicle. Before relieving the suspension, the DMV may occasionally require written confirmation from the physician.

XYZ Company earned operating income of $1,500,000 before income taxes. Capital employed equaled $10,000,000, of which $1,000,000
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The answer is creating wealth, with the economic value added is $390,000

Explanation:

The company WACC is: Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed x Cost of mortgage bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed x Cost of unsecured bond x ( 1 - tax rate) + Percentage of common stock in capital employed x cost of common stock

In which:  Percentage of mortgage bond in capital employed = 1,000,000/10,000,000 = 10%

Percentage of unsecured bond in capital employed = 3,000,000/10,000,000 = 30%;

Percentage of common stock in capital employed = (10,000,000 - 1,000,000 - 3,000,000) /10,000,000 = 60%

Cost of common stock = Risk free rate + Risk premium = 10% + 5% = 15%;

Tax rate = 40%

Thus, WACC = 10% x 8% x ( 1- 40%) + 30% x 9% x (1-40%) + 60% x 15% = 11.10%.

Thus, Capital cost per year: Capital employed x WACC = 10,000,000 x 11.10% = $1,110,000.

Economic value added = Operating Income - Capital cost = 1,500,000 - 1,110,000 = $390,000.
