Ben is assigned by his employer to improve an ultrasonic range-finding device. While working on the improvement, he recognizes t

hat a novel modification of the equipment might be applicable to military submarines, which, if successful, could be worth a lot of money to his employer. However, Ben is a pacifist, a person who opposes war of any kind, and does not want to be involved in military work. He does not develop the idea himself or mention it to anybody else in the company. He has signed an agreement that all inventions he produces on the job are the property of the company but does not believe the agreement is relevant to this situation.

Answer:

1. He has not developed the idea yet

2. His employer knows he his a pacifist so he has the delima is he ethically correct to not develop a product that can be used for warfare.

Explanation:

In this scenario Ben signed an agreement with his employer that all ideas he has developed on the job and while working with the company is a property of the company.

This is a common agreement that gives a company property rights over work developed by their employees.

However since Ben is a pacifist he has an ethical dilemma when he has an idea that can weaponize an ultrasonic range-finding device.

He is justifying his decision by saying the idea has not been developed yet and his employer will not expect him to develop such technology since he is a pacifist.

journal entry:

WIP                   4,500 debit

finished goods 2,250 debit

COGS               15,750 debit

    factory overhead               22,500 credit

<u></u>

<u>Applied overhead:</u>

cost driver x predetermined rate

300,000 x 150% = 450,000

Actual overhead:   472,500

Subapplication of    22,500

as this is a significant amount we must adjust the WIP  inventory, cost of goods sold and fnished goods inventory

to know the adjustment on each account we calcualte each account percentage:

300,000   -->   22,500

60,000 --> 60,000/300,000 x 22,500 = 4,500 endingWIP

30,000 --> 30,000/300,000 x 22,500  = 2,250 finished goods

210,000--> 210,000/300,000 x 22,500 = 15,750 COGS

we do the adjuting entry to increase overhead and transfer into each concept
