Emily Turnbull, president of Aerobic Equipment Corporation, is concerned about her employees’ well-being. The company offers its

employees free medical, dental, and life insurance coverage. It also matches employee contributions to a voluntary retirement plan up to 6% of their salaries. Assume that no employee’s cumulative wages exceed the relevant wage bases. Payroll information for the biweekly payroll period ending January 24 is listed below.
Wages and salaries $2,300,000
Employee contribution to voluntary retirement plan 115,000
Medical insurance premiums paid by employer 46,000
Dental insurance premiums paid by employer 16,100
Life insurance premiums paid by employer 8,050
Federal and state income tax withheld 494,500
FICA tax rate 7.65%
Federal and state unemployment tax rate 6.20%

1. Record the employee salary expense, withholdings, and salaries payable (or say No journal entry required.)
2. Record the employer-provided fringe benefits (or say No journal entry required.)
3. Record the employer payroll taxes (or say No journal entry required.)

Answer:

1. Salary expense = $2,300,000

Withholdings = $494,500

Salary payable = $1,805,500

2. Total fringe benefits = $185,150

3. Payroll tax = $494,500

Explanation:

1. Employee salary expense is given as $2,300,00

Withholdings is given as $494,500. This is the sum total of federal and state FICA taxes and unemployment tax.

Salaries payable is employee salary expense less withholdings.

Salaries payable = 2,300,000 - 494,500

= $1,805,500

2. Employer-provided fringe benefits includes medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and voluntary retirement plan contribution. The corporation matches employee contributions to a voluntary retirement plan up to 6% of their salaries and employee contribution to voluntary retirement plan is $115,000. Since this amount is 5% of salaries, the corporation will contribute an equal amount.

Medical insurance premiums paid by employer = $46,000

Dental insurance premiums paid by employer = $16,100

Life insurance premiums paid by employer = $8,050

Employer contribution to voluntary retirement plan = $115,000

Total fringe benefits = $185,150

3. Employer payroll taxes includes Federal and state FICA taxes and unemployment tax.

Federal FICA tax (rate of 7.65%) = (7.65/100) * 2300000 = $175,950

State FICA tax (rate of 7.65%) = (7.65/100) * 2300000 = $175,950

Unemployment tax (rate of 6.20%) = (6.20/100) * 2300000 = $142,600

Total pay roll tax = 175950 + 175950 +142600

= $494,500

Question: Colonels uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $480,000, with the estimated cost driver of 240,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates these costs:

                                          Small       Medium     Large

Units                                 32,000       12,000      4,000

Direct Material cost             $5              $8            $9

Direct Labor Hrs / Unit       4 Hrs         6 Hrs       10 Hrs

If the labor rate is $25 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?

Answer:

Step 1: Identify Absorption Basis

Here, absorption basis is Labor hours.

Step 2: Find the Overhead Absorbed Rate by dividing total Overhead by total absorption basis.

The formula is as under:

Overhead Absorbed=Total Overhead / Total Absorption Basis... Equation 1

By putting values in Equation 1:

Overhead absorption Rate OAR =$480,000 / 240,000 Machine Hrs = $2 per Labor hour

Step 3: Now calculate overhead per unit for product Small, Medium and Large by simply multiplying OAR with Direct Labor hours consumed per unit

Overhead per unit for Product X= OAR * Direct Labor hours consumed per Product X....................Equation 2

Now simply put the values in Equation 2 of direct labor used by each product and calculate Overhead per unit.

For Product Small:

Overhead per unit for Product Small=  $2 * 4 direct labor hours= $8 per unit

For Product Medium:

Overhead per unit for Product Medium=  $2 * 6 direct labor hours= $12 per unit

For Product Large:

Overhead per unit for Product Large=  $2 * 10 direct labor hours= $20 per unit

Step 4: Add the per unit prime cost to Overhead cost per unit calculated in the Step 3 to calculate the total unit cost of the product. Prime cost is the sum of all direct costs. In this question, Prime cost includes Direct labor cost and Direct material cost.

Now first of all find prime cost of each product by using following formula:

Prime cost per unit for Product X= (Direct material cost per unit of Product X) + (Direct labor cost per unit of Product X)............Equation 3

Thereafter add prime cost to overhead unit cost calculated in step 3.

For Product Small:

Prime cost per unit for Small= ($5 per unit) + ($25 per direct labor hour * 4 number of direct labor hours)=$5 per unit + $100 per unit= $125 per unit

Total Unit cost of product Small= Overhead cost per unit for Small + Prime cost per unit for Small =$125 per unit + $8 per unit=$133 per unit

For Product Medium:

Prime cost per unit for Medium= ($8 per unit) + ($25 per direct labor hour * 6 number of direct labor hours)=$5 per unit + $150 per unit= $155 per unit

Total Unit cost of product Medium= Overhead cost per unit for Medium + Prime cost per unit for medium =$155 per unit + $12 per unit=$167 per unit

For Product Large:

Prime cost per unit for Large= ($9 per unit) + ($25 per direct labor hour * 10 number of direct labor hours)=$9 per unit + $250 per unit= $259 per unit

Total Unit cost of product Large= Overhead cost per unit for Large + Prime cost per unit for Large =$259 per unit + $20 per unit=$279 per unit

savings account a and savings account B both offer aprs of 11% but savings account A compounds intrest quarterly while Savings A
Sever21 [200]

The answer is savings account A.

Since savings account A compounds the interest quarterly it adds interest to the account every quarter. This makes it a more profitable account than one that compounds the interest semiannually. The reason is that the bank is adding interest more frequently, so you are earning interest on the interest that the bank has already paid you.
