Answer:
Beginning WIP= 122,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost of goods manufactured= $524,000
Ending work in process= $79,000
Raw materials used in the production of $89,000
Direct labor of $145,000
Manufacturing overhead of $247,000
To calculate the beginning work in process we need to use the cost of goods manufactured formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
524,000= Beginning wip + 89,000 + 145,000 + 247,000 - 79,000
Beginning WIP= 122,000
Answer: Recession; Depression; Peak ; Trough
Explanation:
The business cycle is the short-term movement of the economy as it goes in and out of recession.
A recession is the significant decline in the national output. Die to recession, there are less consumption by consumers and this negatively affects the national output.
A depression is a lengthy and deep decline in the output of an economy. When there's a long time contractions in economic activities, depression has taken place.
A peak is the highest point of output before the start of a recession. It is when growth and reached its maximum rate in an economy.
Trough is the lowest point of output when there is a recession. It is the lowest point when there's a decline in economic activities.
Answer:
No, he doesn't show diminishing marginal utility. Yes, he shows increasing marginal utility for Coke.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing returns states that the marginal or addition satisfaction or utility derived from the consumption of a product increase until a pint and then starts to decrease.
Units Total utility Marginal utility
1 10 10
2 25 15
3 50 25
After 3 bottles, John does not show diminishing marginal utility as the marginal utility (as shown above) continues to increase with each additional bottle of coke consumed.
Answer:
a) diluted earnings per share = 0
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.
Whereas DEPS is a representation of not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.
So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.
If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:
The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;
DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.
Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.
Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).
Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;
DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960
DEPS =$424400÷120960
DEPS = $3.5
