Answer:

$21.42

Explanation:

The computation of fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-

Fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate = Fixed Overhead ÷ Machine Hours

= $87,822 ÷ 4,100

= $21.42

Therefore for computing the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the fixed overhead by machine hours.

And all the other information i.e given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

To build trust in a cooperative relationship, both firms can: a. write short-term contracts that must be renewed frequently. b.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

D) make mutual investments in specialized assets.

Explanation:

I'm not sure about the exact background of the question, but if you are trying to build a trust relationship with another company, the best way to do it is by investing together.

E.g. if company A is interested in securing an important supplier, instead of trying to acquire it, they might try to invest together in some assets or another business. That way, when it comes to deciding which company should receive discounts or prioritize their requirements, the supplier will always favor their business partners.

The following information relates to the assets of Westfield Semiconductors as of December 31, 2019. Westfield uses the straight
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Asset    Acquisition-Cost   Expected-Life    Residual-Value   Time-Used

Land        $104,300                 Infinite               $100,000            10 years

Building     430,000               25 years                30,000             10 years

Machine     285,000                5 years                  10,000              2 years

Patent          80,000                10 years                     0                    3 years

Truck            21,000             100,000 miles           3,000         44,000 miles

Therefore, we have:

Building annual depreciation = ($430,000 - $30,000) / 25 = $16,000

Building net book value (NBV) = $430,000 - (16,000 * 10) = $270,000

Machine annual depreciation = ($285,000 - 10,000) / 10 = $27,500

Machine NBV = $285,000 - ($27,500 * 2) = $230,000

Patent annual amortization = $80,000 / 10 = $8,000

Patent net written down value = $80,000 - ($8,000 * 3) = $56,000

Truck accumulated depreciation = ($21,000 - 3,000) * (44,000 / 100,000) = $7,920

Truck NBV = $21,000 - $7,920 = 13,080

The partnership of Anderson, Berry, Hammond, and Winwood is being liquidated. It currently holds cash of $20,000 but no other as
Rashid [163]

Answer:

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have,

Capital balances

Anderson     40%       $20,000

Berry             30%      $12,000

Hammond     20%      $17,000 (Deficit)

Winwood       10%       $25,000 (Deficit)

a. Total deficit in this case will be = Share of Hammond + Winwood = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Berry's share = \frac{30}{30+40} \times 42,000 = 18,000

Since Berry's current balance = $12,000

Contribution required = $18,000 - $12,000 = $6,000

b-1. Total deficit of Winwood = $25,000

Hammond share = \frac{20}{20+30+40} \times 25,000 = 5,556

Hammond's current balance = - $17,000

Thus, contribution from Hammond = $5,556 + $17,000 = $22,556

b-2. Total deficit balance = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Total sufficient balance = $20,000 + $12,000 = $32,000

Net deficit balance = $42,000 - $32,000 = $10,000

Anderson share in Deficit of Winwood = 25,000 \times \frac{40}{40 + 30 +20} = 11,111

Thus, net capital of Anderson = $20,000 - $11,111 = $8,889

Berry's share in deficit of Winwood = 25,000 \times \frac{30}{40+30+20} = 8,333

Thus, net capital from Berry = $12,000 - $8,333 = $3,667

c. Total deficit from Hammond = $17,000

Anderson share = 17,000 \times \frac{40}{40+30+10} = 8,500

Anderson's current balance = $20,000

Amount extra contributed by Anderson = $20,000 - $8,500 = $11,500

Thus, Anderson will receive $11,500 on liquidation.

Final Answer

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500
