Answer:
Part 2 Which of the following transactions does not involve an accrual?

Part 3 The recognition of an expense may be accompanied by which of the following?

Part 4 The adjusting entry to recognize work completed on unearned revenue involves which of the following?
- A decrease in liabilities and an increase in equity. UNEARNED REVENUE IS A LIABILITY ACCOUNT, AND AS THE WORK IS COMPLETED, REVENUE SHOULD INCREASE, THEREFORE EQUITY WILL INCREASE.

Explanation:
Answer:
a small alpha value is used.
Explanation:
The exponential smoothing forecasting technique is used for forecasting a time series when there is no trend or seasonal pattern, but the mean of the time series is slowly changing over time.
The choice of the smoothing constant α (alpha) is important in determining the operating characteristics of exponential smoothing. The smaller the value of α (alpha), the slower the response. Therefore when a small alpha value is used the exponential smoothing forecasting technique slowly responds to changes in the mean level of demand.
When the values of α (alpha) are larger this makes the smoothed value to react quickly – not only to real changes but also random fluctuations.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Predetermined overhead rate
= Total fixed overhead cost for the year / Budgeted standard direct labor hour
Predetermined overhead rate = $530,400 / 68,000
Predetermined overhead rate
= $7.8 per direct labor hour
2. i. Fixed overhead budget variance
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $521,000 - $530,400
= $9,400 favourable
ii Fixed overhead volume variance
= Budgeter fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $530,400 - (66,000 × $7.8)
= $530,000 - $514,800
= $15,200 unfavorable
Answer:
2.4
Explanation:
Frontier corporation sells unit for $57
The unit variable cost is $29
Fixed cost is $164,000
Frontier sells 10,000 units
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin
= 57-29×10,000
= 28×10,000
= 280,000
Profit = 280,000-164,000
= 116,000
Degree of operating leverage can be calculated as follows
= 280,000/116,000
= 2.4
