Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding D

epartment: Units: Beginning Inventory: 34,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 119,000. Units completed and transferred out: 153,000. Ending Inventory: 34,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 35% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $52,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $57,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $349,625. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $608,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Answer:

The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28

Explanation:

The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units complete to the extent of the input elements added during production.

The FIFO method in Process costing Accounts for Costs only incurred during the Manufacturing Period. Also, The Opening Work In Process is Assumed to be completed first.

<em>The First Step is to Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Raw Materials :</em>

To finish Opening Work In Process (34,000 × 0%)         =        0

Started and Completed ((153,000 - 34,000) × 100% )     =  119,000

Closing Work In Process (34,500 × 100%)                       =   34,500

Total Equivalent Units of Production                               =   153,500

<em>The Next and Final Step is to calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.</em>

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost During the Current Period / Total Equivalent Units of Production

                                           = $349,625 / 153,500

                                           = $2.2776872

                                           = $2.28 (2 decimal places)

Conclusion :

The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28

Amber's employer, Lavender, Inc., has a § 401(k) plan that permits salary deferral elections by its employees. Amber's salary is
Mila [183]

Answer:

For 2019, the maximum amount that any individual can elect for salary deferral treatment on a 401k distribution is the lesser between: 100% of their salary or $19,000.

in this case, Amber earns much more than $19,000, so the lesser amount would be $19,000.

If Amber contributes more than $19,000 to her 401k account, then she would have to pay taxes for the extra amount contributed.

Zina [86]

Answer:

$5,857; $1,105

Explanation:

Cash flows from investing activities:

= Proceeds from sale of property and equipment + Sale of investments - Purchase of property, plant, and equipment

= $6,594 + $134 - $871

= $5,857

Therefore, the net cash provided by the investing activities is $5,857.

Cash flows from Financing activities:

= Borrowings under line of credit (bank) + Proceeds from issuance of stock - Payments to reduce long-term debt - Dividends paid

= $1,417 + $11 - $46 - $277

= $1,105

Therefore, the net cash provided by the investing activities is $1,105.

Basic similarity and different between BAUM, UNIDO, DEPSA project life cycle
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

BAUM, UNIDO, and DEPSA all refer to types of project development cycles.

A. The BAUM project lifecycle refers to the World Banks' project development cycle as described by Warren Baum.  

The BAUM project life cycle features 6 stages namely:

  1. identification of opportunity
  2. preparation for the project
  3. appraisal of the project
  4. negotiations related to the project
  5. implementation and supervision  of the project and
  6. ex-post evaluation  

B. UNIDO - The UNIDO model features three major stages which are also broken down into various steps.

Pre-investment phase

This phase is further divided into:

  • A study of the opportunity presented. This has to do with identifying ideas to be invested in.
  • Pre-feasibility study. This stage involves the formulation, and selection of project alternatives)
  • Feasibility study. When the project is selected, then it is tested to economic feasibility.
  • Submission of report on the evaluation          

    2. Investment phase  

This stage is further broken down into:

  • Project design stage: At this stage, the criteria for success, and key deliverables are spelt out.
  • Construction stage  (For engineering or building projects)
  • Pre-production marketing stage
  • Training  of staff
  • Kick-off stage  

  3. Operational phase  

This is also broken down into:  

Replacement of equipment  due to wear and tear or upgrade to better technologies

Development, invasion or liquidation states.

C. DEPSA stands for "Development Project Studies Authority".

This variant of the Project Lifecycle also consists of three major stages. They are:  

  • Pre-investment phase
  • Investment and
  • Operation

The DEPSA stage is very similar to the UNIDO project life cycle. Both are defined according to an Investment Cycle paradigm and that's the reason why you have pre-investment, investment and operations phase for both methodologies.  

Whilst the UNIDO model is more 'universal' in that it speaks to a wide range of businesses including engineering projects, DEPSA seems a little skewed towards engineering projects.  

This is evident in the terminologies used in the investment phases. With DEPSA you would notice terms like 'detailed engineering design'

'construction', and 'erection'. The UNIDO the investment phase contains engineering terms but also speaks to 'marketing' and 'training'  

While the BAUM project lifecycle contains all the basic stages in the DEPSA and UNIDO life cycles, it holds a universal outlook and seems applicable to both business and engineering projects.

Cheers!

​the main objective of _____ is to avoid problems or to identify them as soon as possible.
Nezavi [6.7K]
<span>The main objective of quality assurance is to avoid problems or to identify them as soon as possible. Quality assurance is making sure that a product or service maintains a set level of faulty. If more attention needs to be put on the processes to make sure that the quality stays, that's okay, but it needs to be maintained. QA is a shortened version of quality assurance and many company's have a QA team set in place so that mistakes and defects are prevented. </span>
