Our company manufactures and sells calculators for $90 each. A major University has offered us $70 per calculator for a one-time
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Increase in operating income by $5,000

Explanation:

Firstly, we shall compute the additional cost of this order,

Variable Cost = Direct material + Direct Labor + Variable factory overhead

= $25 + $20 + $15 = $60

Note: Fixed cost will not form part of this decision, as the company has additional capacity lying idle, thus no additional fixed cost will be incurred, and the fixed cost allocated i.e. $12 per unit is not relevant, as is just allocation and not incurred, it is a kind of sunk cost allocated.

Relevant cost = $60 per unit

Selling price per unit = $70 per unit

Contribution to profit = $70 - $60 = $10 per unit

Total increase in operating income = $10 \times 500 = $5,000

Thus operating income will increase by this amount.

Increase in operating income by $5,000

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The correct option is d. 5.5.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not properly arranged. It is therefore rearranged before answering the question as follows:

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:

Bonds payable, 10% (due in two years)                              $842,000

Preferred 5% stock, $100 par (no change during year)       220,000

Common stock, $50 par (no change during year)             1,672,000

Income before income tax for year                                       376,000

Income tax for year                                                                  89,000

Common dividends paid                                                         83,600

Preferred dividends paid                                                          11,000

Based on the data presented, what is the times interest earned ratio (rounded to one decimal place)?

Oa. 7.9

Ob. 4.5

Oc. 3.5

Od. 5.5

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The times interest earned ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses ................ (1)

Where;

Interest expenses = Bonds payable * 10% = $842,000 * 10% = $84,200

EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax for year + Interest expenses = $376,000 + $84,200 = $460,200

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Times interest earned ratio = $460,200 / $84,200 = 5.46555819477435

Rounded to one decimal place, we have:

Times interest earned ratio = 5.5

Therefore, the correct option is d. 5.5.

Vaughn Manufacturing

1. The weighted-average accumulated expenditures for 2017 were:

c. $1,200,000.

2. The interest capitalized for 2017 was:

b. $144,000

3. The weighted-average accumulated expenditures for 2018 by the end of the construction period were:  

= $2,546,000.

4. The interest capitalized for 2018 was:

= $267,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expenditures for the construction were as follows:

Date                                   Amount of     No. of months  Weighted Average

                                         expenditure                                 Expenditure

2020:

January 2, 2020                 $613,000         12/12                     $613,000

September 1, 2020            1,802,400          4/12                       600,800

December 31, 2020          1,802,400          0/12                        0

Total weighted-average expenditure for 2020 =                $1,213,800

Which is approximately = $1,200,000

Interest capitalized = $144,000 ($1,200,000 * 12%)

Capitalized expenditure by December 31, 2020 = $1,344,000 ($1,200,000 + $144,000)

Date                                   Amount of     No. of months  Weighted Average

                                         expenditure                                 Expenditure

2021:

January 1, 2021                 1,344,000        9/9                   $1,344,000

March 31, 2021                  1,802,400       6/9                      1,201,600

September 30, 2021        1,203,000        0/9                      0

Total weighted-average expenditure for 2020 =           $2,545,600

Which is approximately $2,546,000

Interest capitalized for 2018 = $267,330 ($2,546,000 * 10.5%)

Approximately $267,000
