Number of actual apps completed 2604 1600

Answer:

a. <u>Labor variances for 14 PT staff: </u>

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604

= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50

= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50

= $26,040 (Unfavorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)

= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)

<u>Labor variances for 10 SD staff</u>:

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600

= $3840 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45

= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45

= $14,400 (Favorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)  

= $10,560 (Favorable)

The owners' equity for The Deer Store was $58,900 at the beginning of the year. During the year, the company had aftertax income
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The owner's equity at the end of the year results to $64,400

Explanation:

We are able to calculate this through simple addition and subtraction

First we must view how much was payed through tax

t = 4,200 - 3,200 = 1,000

58,900 - 1,000 = 57,900

Than, due to the repurchase of $6,500 of stock, we must include this within our final equation

57,900 + 6,500 = 64,400

Hope this helps

In the management process, if the planning is perfect, then there is no need for controlling. 
madreJ [45]

The assumption that if planning is perfect there is no need for controlling is false.

This is because controlling is a very vital and important part of

management. Controlling helps to organize the various factors needed in

the completion of a project. This helps to prevent and reduce mistakes to

the barest minimum that may arise as we are all prone to errors.

A management process without any form of control will result in the target

and exact instructions not being met or adhered to.

Emporia Corporation is a lessee with a capital lease. The asset is recorded at $810,000 and has an economic life of 8 years. The
Doss [256]

Answer:

The amount of depreciation expense the lessee should record for the first year of the lease is $108,000

Explanation:

To calculate the depreciation expense for each year the first thing you have to do is to substruct from the initial value the fair value at the end fo the lease, obtaining this way the depreciable amount.

For this case it would be:

$810,000 - $270,000= $540,000

Then you have to divide the depreciable amount by the years of the term the lease.

$540,000/5= $108,000

Mike Village sold $1,000,000 of general obligation bonds on October 1, 2018, maturing at the rate of $100,000 every 6 months sta
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Accrued expense means the expense which has been incurred and recorded in the financial statement during the accounting period but payment for the same has not been made.

Stub period means the period in which the interest due on the bonds is not equivalent to interest as per interest cycle .

Explanation:

Part A)

No interest is matured during 2018 and hence, no expense will be    recorded in fund statement of revenue, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the year 2018.

Compute interest for the year ended on December 31, 2019:  

By adding the interest due on $1,000,000 principal at the rate of 4% for six months and interest due on $900,000 principal at the rate of 4% for six months, the total expenditure can be calculated as follows:

Interest expenditure = ($1, 000, 000 x 4% x 0.5) + ($900,000 x 4% x 0.5)

= $20, 000 + $18, 000  

= $38, 000  

$20,000 represents interest on $1,000,000 for half the year and $18,000 represents interest on amount computed after deducting first maturity of $100,000, computed for half of the year.  

Hence, for the year ending December 31, 2019 M will report 1$38,000 as interest expenditure in  

Its fund statement of revenues, expenditure and changes in fund balance.

Part B)

Compute interest expenditure that M will report in its government-wide statement of activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2019:

For the year ended December 31, 2018

Interest due on the principal of $1,000,000 at the rate of 4% for three months:

Interest expenditure = [$1,000,000 x 4% x 0.25]

= $10,000

Hence, for the year ending December 31, 2018 M will report 10,000 as interest expenditure in its wide statement of activities.

For the year ended December 31, 2019:

By adding the interest due on $1,000,000 principal at the rate of 4% for three months and interest due on $900,000 principal at the rate of 4% for six months, the total expenditure can be calculated as follows:

Interest expenditure = [($1,000,000 x 4% x 0.25) + ($900,000 x 4% x 0.5) + ($800,000 x 4% x0.25)]

= $10,000 + $18000 + $8,000

= $36,000

$900,000 is computed by reducing the first maturity of $100,000 due on April 1, 2019 and $800,000 is computed by reducing the second maturity of $100,000 due on September 30, 2019.

$10,000 is computed for the period January 1, 2019 to March 30, 2019 and $18,000 is computed for 6 months period from April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019. $8000 is computed for the period October 01, 2019 to December 31, 2019.

Hence, for the year ending December 31, 2019 M will report 36,000 as interest expenditure in its government-wide statement of activities.

Part C)

Prepare journal entries required to adjust fund financial statements so that government-wide statements:

Date Account Title                               Debit               Credit

               Net Position                                   10000

                   Accrued interest payable                                 10000

        Accrued interest payable            2000

                   Interest expense                                                 2000

 

Accrued interest payable is a liability account having a credit balance, to record increase in interest payable, its account is credited. Interest payable for the period October 31 to December 31, 2018 increases the balance of accrued interest payable balance and hence, its account is credited with $10,000.

Interest expense is an expense account with debit nature balance, to record decrease in expense, its account is credited. Hence, to record the net effect of interest payable computed as the difference between balance of $10,000 outstanding at the end of 2018 and $8,000 outstanding at the end of 2019, the interest expense is credited.
