Answer:
Prime cost = $94,000
<em>Conversion cost</em> = $135,400.
Explanation:
<em>Prime cost is the addition of direct material cost , direct labor cost and direct expenses.</em>
<em>Conversion cost is the cost of converting raw materials into finished product. It s the sum of direct labour cost and production overheads.</em>
For Bento Engineering,
<em>Prime cost = direct labour cost (since no figure is given for direct material and direct expenses.)</em>
Prime cost = $94,000
Conversion cost = Direct labour cost + overheads
<em>Conversion cost</em> = $94,000 + 126,000
= $135,400.
Prime cost = $94,000
<em>Conversion cost</em> = $135,400.
Answer:
$76.856 million
Explanation:
As we know that Balance sheet is divided in two portions.
1. Total Assets (Current Assets + Fixed Assets)
2. Total Liabilities and Share Holders' Equity.
and they both should be equal. So we can write from the above information, as:
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Common Stock + Retained Earnings
N.B. We are excluding Cash from our calculation cause we assume that Cash is already been included in Total Assets.
Hence, by putting the values in above equation we can find our Retained Earnings as:
Retained Earnings + $128.230 million + $6.350 million = $211.436 million
Retained Earnings + $134.58 million = $211.436 million
Retained Earnings = $211.436 million - $134.58 million
Retained Earnings = $76.856 million
Answer:
The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.
Explanation:
That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.
So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.
However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.
Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.
Answer:
Indication of items erroneously stated on:
A) the income statement for the year
Salaries Expense will be understated.
Therefore, the Net Income will be overstated.
B) the balance sheet as of October 31:
Salaries Expense Payable (current liabilities) will be understated.
Explanation:
When accrued salaries are not accounted for in the financial statements for an accounting period, it means that the revenues generated for that period are not being matched with the expenses incurred in generating the revenues. Such omission does not agree with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles. These require that expenses are accrued whether paid for or not, and that expenses are matched to the period's revenue since they are necessarily incurred in generating such revenue.
