Answer:

a)

Kitting: $0.072 per part and Boxing: $0.764 per cubic feet

b)

Kitting: $12.6 and Boxing: $6.9

Explanation:

Given that Keyboard spends $9,000,000 per month on kitting and $21,000,000 per month on boxing.

Keyboard estimates it will use 125,000,000 parts per month and ship products with a total volume of 27,500,000 cubic feet per month.

a) Since Kitting costs based on the number of parts used in the computer:

The predetermined overhead allocation​ rate for kitting = Money spent on kitting / number of parts used per month = $9000000 / 125000000 = $0.072 per part

Since Boxing costs based on the cubic feet of space the computer required:

The predetermined overhead allocation​ rate for Boxing = Money spent on Boxing / total = $21000000 / 27500000 = $0.764 per cubic feet.

a) each desktop computer requires 175 parts and has a volume of 9 cubic feet

For kitting, Activity cost per desktop = Predetermined overhead allocation rate x  quantity per desktop = $0.072 × 175 = $12.6

For Boxing, Activity cost per desktop = Predetermined overhead allocation rate x  quantity per desktop = $0.764 × 9 = $6.9

Nicole is a calendar-year taxpayer who accounts for her business using the cash method. On average, Nicole sends out bills for a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) I guess that Nicole bills $12,000 per month, not $512,000.

Assuming that the last time Nicole billed her customers was November, she was able to collect $11,760 before the year ended. I will also assume that the remaining $240 are uncollectible.

If Nicole postpones billing her customers during December, her taxable income as a cash basis taxpayer will decrease by $12,000 x 70% = $8,400

she will be able to save $8,400 x 2% = $168 in current taxes, but she will have to pay them next year anyways.

b) The time value of money should affect Nicole's calculations because she is saving the interests that could be earned by $168 in 1 year. We are not given any specific interest rate but we could use 6% as an example. Nicole will gain $168 x 6% = $10.08

But she will also lose potential interests earned on the $8,400 that she billed later. Using the same interest rate, 6%, she will lose $8,400 x 6% x 1/12 (only 1 month) = $42.

That means that the net result from this = $10.08 - $42 = -$31.92.

As you can see, Nicole is losing money. The higher the interest rate, the more money she will lose.

c) The risk of increasing uncollectible accounts will always exist. Nicole already has around 2% of uncollectible accounts, and combining two bills at one time might lead to a higher percentage of uncollectible accounts. Of course, this depends on her clients, but the risk will increase a little bit or a lot, but it will increase.

Stealth bank has deposits of $300 million. it holds reserves of $20 million and has purchased government bonds worth $300 millio
ryzh [129]

First let us identify if the asset is a gain or loss. An asset is a gain if it contributes to the banks overall finance while it is a loss if it is a cost directly or indirectly.

Deposits of $300 million = Gain (+)

Reserves of $20 million = Gain (+)

<span>Purchased government bonds worth $300 million = Loss (-)         ---> This entails cost</span>

Selling bank’s loans at current market value of $600 million = Gain (+)

Therefore adding up everything to get the banks net worth:

Stealth banks net worth = $300 M + $20 M - $300 M + $600 M

<span>Stealth banks net worth = $620 million</span>
