Answer:

a) X = 14.7%

b) X = 140%

c) X = 10.76%

d) X = 5.83%

e) X = 40%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Let the tax rate be = X%

then 0+(X × 10,000)÷100+(X × 130,000)÷100+(X × 240,000)÷100 = $56,000

100X+1,300X+2,400X = $56,000

X = $56,000÷3,800

= 14.7%

b) ((X × 10,000)÷100)× 4 = $56,000

400X = $56,000

X = 140%

c) ((X × 130,000)÷100)×4 = $56,000

5,200 X = $56,000

X = 10.76%

d) ((X × 240,000)÷100 )×4 = $56,000

9,600 X = $56,000

X = 5.83%

e) X× 0+(X × 10,000)÷100+(X × 130,000)÷100 = $56,000

1,400 X = $56,000

X = 40%

Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. It added 13,600 units of direct materials during the period
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Cost of units completed = $176,528

Workings are attached:

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of production

An equivalent unit of production is an expression of the amount of work done by a manufacturer on units of output that are partially completed at the end of an accounting period. Basically the fully completed units and the partially completed units are expressed in terms of fully completed units.

Equivalent units are used in the production cost reports for the producing departments of manufacturers using a process costing system. Cost accounting textbooks are likely to present the cost calculations per equivalent unit of production under two cost flow assumptions: weighted-average and FIFO.

Conversion costs

Conversion costs is a term used in cost accounting that represents the combination of direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs. In other words, conversion costs are a manufacturer's product or production costs other than the cost of a product's direct materials.

Expressed another way, conversion costs are the manufacturing or production costs necessary to convert raw materials into products.

The term conversion costs often appears in the calculation of the <u>cost of an</u> <u>equivalent unit in a process costing system.</u>

For the sake of this question, we will be determining the <u>equivalent units of production:</u>

  • Units completed and transferred subject to material and conversion costs
  • Units in the closing inventory subject to material and conversion costs
  • We will then calculate the cost per units with respect to material and conversion costs for the equivalent units.
  • These cost per units will enable us to determine the cost of items completed.

Chiquita produces bananas for an average explicit cost of $0.25 per banana and sells 1 million bananas per week for a price of $
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Implicit costs per week = $200,000

Average explicit cost per banana = $0.25 per banana

Per week bananas sold = 1 million

Explicit cost = Average explicit cost per banana × No. of banana sold

                    = $0.25 × 1,000,000

                    = $250,000

Total revenue = No. of banana sold × Selling price of each banana

                        = 1,000,000 × $0.50

                        = $500,000

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost

                             = $500,000 - $250,000

                             = $250,000

Economic profit:

= Total revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit costs

= $500,000 - $250,000 - $200,000

= $50,000

Consider the following limit order book for a share of stock. The last trade in the stock occurred at a price of $70. Limit Buy
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

<u><em>$69.80</em></u>

Explanation:

Note, a market order is an order designed to execute an order immediately by <em>matching the best available price</em> on the sell order list.

When we look carefully at the sell order book, we observe that the only sell order containing the specified quantity of 120 units of shares at a price close to the market price is <u>$69.80.</u> Even though there are other cheaper orders are available, their order quantity does <em>not </em>match the market buy order for the 120 shares and thus would not be filled.
