Answer:

The necessary journal entries are:

Dr Factory work-in progress     $140,000

Dr Factory Overhead account   $40,000

Cr Factory wages payable                        $180,000

Explanation:

The $40,000 is an cost of labor, hence it is debited to factory overhead which is the account for indirect labor cost. Indirect labor in this sense refers to labor cost not directly traceable to the finished goods produced,the remaining balance of $140,000($180,000-$40,000) is debited to factory work in progress.

For every debit, there is corresponding credit,hence the entire $180,000 is credit to factory wages payable account pending when payment is made. Upon payment the account debited and a credit posted to cash account to indicate cash outflow.

Answer:

Work in Process (Dr.)                     $140,000

Manufacturing overhead (Dr.)           40,000

                     Payroll / Salaries Payable                $180,000

Explanation:

Job order costing is a costing method used by the managerial accountants when the company produces different products and these products are not identical in-nature. An alternative to this method is Process costing which is used when a company produces homogenous products. In this case, the company has adopted job order costing because its products can be hetrogenous in-nature. Moreover, the company has incurred a Payroll cost of $180,000. $40,000 out of this amount is classified as indirect labor because the company is not able to trace it to a particular job and it will be treated as manufacturing overhead. This amount could have been paid to supervisors of factory or maintenance workers. The remaining amount of $140,000 is classified as direct labor because the management is in a better position to trace it to a particular job. This amount directly goes to Work-in-Process account.

You might have noticed that the indirect cost is kept in Manufacturing overhead account, whereas the direct labor cost is charged to Work-in-process account. This is because that at the start of a period, the management estimates the amount of manufacturing overhead (Indirect costs) and charge it to the work-in-process account. As the period goes on, the indirect costs are recorded in manufacturing overhead account when incurred, and at the end of period we compare the Actual manufacturing overhead with the expected (charged to Work-in-process) and make adjustments.

Thanks!

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

If a stock is purchased for $100 per share and held one year, during which time a quarterly dividend of $1.5 is paid, each quart
xenn [34]

Answer:

Total yield or rate of return is 0.36 or 36%

Explanation:

To calculate rate of return which is also the total yield on the stock, we will use the following formula,

Total Yield = (D + C) / P0

Where,

  • D represents dividends paid by the stock during the year
  • C is the capital appreciation(pr depreciation) or rise(or fall) in the price of the stock as compared to the purchase price
  • P0 is the purchase price or price in Year 0

Total dividends for the year = 1.5 * 4 = $6

C = 130 - 100 = $30

Total Yield = (6 + 30) / 100

Total yield = 0.36 or 36%

sergij07 [2.7K]

Taylor's Scientific management theory employs time-motion research to determine the best approach for personnel to execute each task and then teaches them that method.

Taylor's Scientific Management seeks the most effective approach to execute every task. He believed in universal rules that governed efficiency and that these laws were independent of human judgment. The purpose of Scientific Management was to find the "one best way" to accomplish things as effectively as possible. Frederick Winslow Taylor was an American mechanical engineer who lived from 1856 to 1915. He was the first management consultant and the first to examine work and production scientifically.

He is regarded as the father of Scientific Management and the efficiency movement. Taylor's Incentive Theory, often known as Scientific Management, was one of the first workplace motivation theories.
