Answer:

If the accountants of an organization are to concentrate only on financial information then there will be no advantage. The both party (organization and the accountant) might suffer if this happened.

Moreover, it would be very costly to have two systems rather than one that captures and processes operational facts at the same time as it captures and reports financial facts.

The main disadvantage of this is that accountants would ignore much relevant information about the organization's activities. To the extent that such non-financial information (e.g., market share, customer satisfaction, measures of quality, etc.) is important to management, the value of the accounting function would decline.

Alik [6]

Answer: The correct is an increase in the cost of the products and services that consumers pay.

3. If a balance sheet were prepared for Pala Medical Co. on June 30, 20Y1 the amount to be reported as cask is $166,436  

Explanation:

1. The balance shown by the bank statement seldom agree with the balance shown by the cash book, bank reconciliation statement is usually drawn up to  agree the balance shown by the bank statement with the balance shown by the cash book.

In this question:

a. Check  outstanding of $19,427 are checks issued to creditors which where not presented for payment. generally known as unpresented checks.

b. The receipts of $12,300 recorded in Pala Medical Co. cash book was not credited by the bank, this will obviously cause a disagreement between the bank statement and the cash book at month end.

c. The amount of $26,500 recorded in the bank statement must be reported correctly the the cash book and the relevant ledger by debiting the cash book by the total receipt of $26,500 and crediting investment and with $25,000 and crediting the interest elements to interest income account.

d. The wrong recording of $400 instead of $4000 must be corrected by reversing the initial entry. this is done by debiting Cash book with $400 and crediting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $400   and recording the correct entry by debiting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $4000 and crediting cash book by $4000.

e. The check of $195 is recorded correctly already in the cash book, it is the bank to pass the necessary entry but it will only enter the company cash book.

f. Bank service charge should be recorded by debiting bank charges with $55 and crediting cash book with $55

Ashland Corporation estimates its manufacturing overhead costs to be $170,000 and its direct labor costs to be $324,000 for 2020
monitta

Answer:

85,001

Explanation:

The computation of amount of overhead assigned to Product 3 during 2020 is shown below:-

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead costs ÷ Estimated direct labor costs

= $170,000 ÷ $324,000

= 0.5247

Amount of overhead assigned to Product 3 = Actual manufacturing costs for Product 3 × Predetermined overhead rate

= $162,000 × 0.5247

= 85,001

So, we have applied the above formula.
