Answer:

Alpha Company:

  • inventory turnover ratio = 3.62
  • days in inventory = 101 days

Omega Company

  • inventory turnover ratio = 4.13
  • days in inventory = 89 days

Explanation:

                                         Alpha Company       Omega Company

Beginning inventory                $49,500                       $71,000

<u>Cost of goods purchased     $200,000                   $299,000 </u>

Cost of goods available

for sale                                   $249,500                    $370,000

<u>Ending inventory                     $57,000                      $73,000 </u>

Cost of goods sold                 $192,500                   $297,000

inventory turnover rate = cost of goods sold / the average inventory

average inventory = (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2

days in inventory = 365 days / inventory turnover ratio

                                          Alpha Company             Omega Company

average inventory                  $53,250                         $72,000

inventory turnover         $192,500 / $53,250      $297,000 / $72,000

                                           = 3.62                              = 4.13

days in inventory             365 / 3.62                        365 / 4.13

                                        = 100.83 ≈ 101 days          = 88.38 ≈ 89 days

initial value of tractor is $42,200

Gain on exchange is $8000

Initial value of tractor is $58,000

Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$10,200=$42,200

If fair value were $26,000

gain on the exchage=$26,000-$18,000=$8,000

Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$26,000=$58,000

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Over applied Overhead =$ 42,500

Actual Overhead $325,000

Estimated Overhead $350,000

Over applied overhead is when the Predetermined overhead is more than the actual overhead . Under applied overhead is when the Predetermined overhead is less than the actual overhead .

Predetermined Overhead rate= Overhead / total direct labor hours

Applied Overhead = Predetermined Overhead rate( actual direct labor hours)

                               = 70 % (525,000) = $367,500

Applied Overhead $367,500

Less Actual Overhead $325,000

Over applied Overhead =$ 42,500
