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!

Ket [755]

<u>A. By conducting a focus group before launching the product</u>


Pricing in the business world is very delicate. People will always tend to go for the cheapest product if they aren't loyal to a specific brand. So, when you are starting a business, it is extremely important to focus on pricing. Your prices have to be low enough for people to buy them, but high enough to break even and make a profit.

A focus group would have assisted Kalim in finding the best price for his product. By conducting this, the group would have told him exactly what they would pay for something like his product. However, the damage done is not permanent. He should now lower the prices or conduct a focus group to find out the best price for his food.

What is a sercured loan
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Secured loan is as below

Explanation:

A secured loan is money that you borrow by offering an asset as collateral. The lender will hold on the asset until the full loan amount is paid back. A secured loan is a good option when borrowing a large amount of money.  It attracts low-interest rates.

Lenders consider secured loans less risky because the customer provides a valuable asset as a back-up should they fail to repay. Homes and land are the most common properties used as collateral for secured loans.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The quarterly deposit required is $ 20,578.36

Explanation:

in order to determine the needed quarterly deposit, we make use of pmt formula in excel, which is given as :

=-pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the rate of return on the deposit at 8% per year but 2% per quarter(8%/4)

nper is number of deposits required in the fund,which number of years ,5 multiplied by 4(4 deposits per year)

pv is the present of the value of the future amount which is zero as it is not required.

Fv is the amount expected in 5 years which is $500,000

=-pmt(2%,20,0,500000)

pmt= $20,578.36
