Diamond Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $59 per unit. The

company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $35.00
Direct labor 18.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 7.20
Total cost per unit $60.20

If Diamond Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 15% of the direct labor costs.
(a) Prepare a differential analysis dated February 24 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case.
(b) On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to make the carrying cases or continue buying them? Explain.

Answer:

<u>Part(a) Differential analysis as at February 24</u>

Make (Alternative 1) :

Direct Materials                             $35.00

Direct labor                                    $18.00

Variable Overheads                      $2.70

Fixed Overheads                           $0.00

Total Make Costs                         $55.70

Buy (Alternative 2) :

Total Purchase Cost                    $59.00

<u>(b) On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to make the carrying cases or continue buying them? </u>

It is clear that from comparison of the cost of Purchase and the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases, the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases is lower than the Cost of Purchasing the Cases by $3.30

It is thus advisable to make carrying cases instead of buying them

Explanation:

Total Make Costs;

The Factory fixed overheads are irrelevant to this decision hence they were ignored in the make cost calculations.

A stock produced returns of 14 percent, 17percent, and -1 percent over three of the past four years, respectively. The arithmeti
mariarad [96]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period  

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

<em>For the standard deviation, we need to use </em><u><em>stdev.s function</em></u><em> in Ms Excel</em>

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.

Tanuja Singh is a CPA and operates her own accounting firm (Singh CPA, LLC). As a single-member LLC, she reports her accounting
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Tanuja is not entitled to a QBI deduction in 2019.

Explanation:

Tanuja has QBI from her accounting firm of $540,000

W-2 wages = $156,000

Unadjusted basis of property used in the LLC = $425,000

Taxable income before the QBI deduction = $475,000

Modified taxable income = $448,000.

Her accounting firm is a "specified services" business and she and her spouse's taxable income before the QBI deduction is $475,000, which exceeds the threshold for 2019.

At December 31, 2020, Pharoah Company has outstanding three long-term debt issues. The first is a $2,370,000 note payable which
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The first is a $2,370,000 note payable which matures June 30, 2023.

The second is a $5,580,000 bond issue which matures September 30, 2024.

annual sinking fund payments of $2,570,000 in each of the years 2022 through 2026.

Year       Amount of long term debt       Working      

2021                   $0

2022              $2,570,000

2023              $4,940,000                       = $2,570,000 + $2,370,000

2024              $8,150,000                        = $,2,570,000 + $5,580,000

2025              $2,570,000

2026              $2,570,000

Long term debt is debt that must be paid in a period of time longer than one year. Debts that are due in less than one year are classified as current debts or liabilities. That is why there is no long term debt for 2021 (current year).

A low inflation rate is preferred because...
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

the correct answer is  low inflation indicates steady growth

Explanation:

inflation can be explained as the increase in the general price level of a country over a specific period of time. this is an indicator of the rise in the price of the goods and services of a country and indirectly can show the standard of living, economic growth and the purchasing power of an economy.

Generally, the inflation is said to be in an healthier range when it is between 1% and 5%, it is regarded as good when it is below 10% and said to be unhealthy when it is over 10%.

when the inflation is low, the price levels rise systematically and gradually. this allows business and investors to predict the economy more accurately and preserves the purchasing power of the currency and money, which is good for both investments, national and international trade.

moreover, when the inflation is lower, the cost of capital financing remains low as well. and the real interest rates are higher too.
