Answer:

a. $ 900 underapplied

Explanation:

Based on the data provided we conclude that the factory overhead is applied on the basis of direct labour hours.

Determination of Overhead rate

Estimated overhead                                                             $ 115,000

Direct labour hours                                                                  23,000 hours

Overhead rate per direct labor hour is $ 115,000/ 23,000 = $ 5 per direct labor hour

Amount of applied overhead = Direct Labor hours * Overhead rate per hour

Applied Overhead = $ 5 * 35,000                                        $ 175,000

Actual Overhead                                                                    <u>$ 175,900</u>

Underapplied Overhead                                                        $(     900)

vodomira [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Total debt to total capital ratio, also known as D/C ratio is a ratio that measures a company's capital structure, financial solvency, and degree of leverage, at a particular point in time.

While the Times Interest Earned (TIE) is a ratio which measures the ability of an organization to pay its debt obligations.

So A company with high debt-to-capital ratios, compared to a general or industry average, may show weak financial strength and hence would have a lower ability to pay its debt obligations one which the TIE ratio measures.

Expenses ______ retained earnings; therefore, to increase any expense, one would ______ the expense account.
Liula [17]

Expenses decreases retained earnings; therefore, to increase any expense, one would debit the expense account

What does retained earnings mean?

Retained earnings are profits retained in the business  for reinvestment and for expansion purposes, in essence, expenses would reduce the retained earnings, the higher the expenses, the lesser the retained earnings become.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a debit to Accounts Payable for $1,400 and a $1,400 credit to Purchase Returns allowances

Explanation:

Periodic inventory system is one that updates information on inventory on a periodic basis. This is opposite of perpetual inventory system that requires update of inventory system at all times.

In the scenario the merchandiser bought the goods on account. That means he did not pay cash but rather bought on credit.

On purchasing the items accounts payable will be credited thereby increasing the account balance.

Since the items are being returned a debit will be applied to accounts payable resulting in a decrease in the account balance.

A credit will now be posted to purchase returns allowances to show that products have been returned by a buyer
