Carlin and Marley, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planningservices. For many years, the firm's total administra

tive cost (currently$270,000) has been allocated to services on this basis of billable hours toclients. A recent analysis found that 55% of the firm's billable hours to clientsresulted from tax planning services, while 45% resulted from consultingservices.The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identifiedthree components of administrative cost, as follows:
Staff Support $200,000
In-house computingcharges 50,000
Miscellaneous officecosts 20,000
Total $270,000
A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation with the numberof clients served. In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous officecost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number ofclient transactions, respectively. Consulting clients served totaled 35% of thetotal client base, consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours, and accountedfor 20% of the total client transactions.

Answer:

The amount of administrative cost chargeable to tax planning services would decrease by $32,500

Note: Kindly find an attached copy of the complete question below

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

In this example, the total cost of administrative charged to tax planning services is given as =$270,000 * 55%

=$148,000

Now,

The activity based cost system is shown below:

Cost                 Amount           Cost driver          Consulting     Tax planning

Staff support  200,000      No of clients served     35%              65%

In house com-  

puting charges 50,000     Computers hrs logged   30%             70%

Misc office

Cost                   20,000         No of clients

                                               Transaction                  20%              80%

Total                  $270,000

Thus,

Activity                    Workings         Allocated to tax planning services

Staff support        200,000 * 65%             130,000

In house Comp-

uting Charges        50,000 * 70%              35,000

Misc office costs    20,000 * 80%              16,000

The total cost

allocated                                                       $181,000

So, the change in amount allocated to tax planning services under this system is = $181,000-$148,500

= $32,500

List the elements of the implied warranty of merchantability and provide an example of a sale of goods that includes this warran
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Article 2 of the UCC code states that in order for goods to be merchantable (or fit for sale) they must:

  1. should correspond to the contract description, e.g. a cereal box should contain cereal
  2. must be of fair average quality, e.g. the cereal must be edible and be of a reasonable quality, like have a decent flavor
  3. must be fit to serve the purpose for which an average consumer might purchase them, e.g. you should be able to eat your cereal at breakfast, and it should not require hours or preparation
  4. the quality of all the units included in the package must be similar, although slight variations are permitted, e.g. cornflakes should be of similar size and quality
  5. are properly packaged and labeled, e.g. the package should not be broken and it should include relevant information
  6. fulfill any promise contained in its package or labels, e.g. if the box says it contains cereal with raisins, it must contain cereal with raisins

There are lots of ways in which an implied warranty of merchantability is breached, e.g. if the cereal is spoiled, the box is broken and the contents are falling, cornflakes are all crushed and lost consistency, etc.

If you have a low credit score, lenders are more likely to give you what type of interest rate? A. A low interest rate B. A high
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

B) A high interest rate.

Explanation:

A low credit score means a bad credit score. Meaning you are not that reliable in paying your credit back. If you were reliable, they would make it easy for you and give you a low interest rate. However, your credit score says otherwise so they will give you a high interest rate since you are a higher risk.

<span>Tony did not breach a contract because it was all up to Lorene and who she wanted to go with. Lorene is not obligated to go with either. Although Bill spent most of his allowance, he could still ask someone else, sell his ticket and or even go by himself. I do not think Tony could be held liable even if he knew. It was not a nice thing to flake on Bill, but ultimately, it was Lorene's decision to make.</span>
