Explanation:

<u><em>Richards Corporation </em></u>

<u><em>Weighted-Average Method </em></u>

<u><em>Fabricating Department:</em></u>

Particulars         Units       % of Completion           Equivalent Units

transferred out: 360,000    100       100          360,000        360,000

<u>Ending Inv:         35,000     40%        15%         14000            5250    </u>

<u>Equivalent Units                                                  374,000      365250</u>

Costs                                        Direct Materials       Conversion

Beg. Work in Process - :             $47,200                 $89,700

<u>Costs incurred in October -      $759,920              $929,300</u>

Total Costs                                  807,120               1,019,000

Cost Per Equivalent Unit = Total Costs/ Equivalent Units

Cost Per Equivalent Unit Materials = 807120/ 374,000= $ 2.158 ≅$ 2.16

We divide the total costs of Materials with the total Equvilant units of Materials to get Cost Per Equivalent Unit of Materials which is 2.16

(3) To calculate the cost of producing one watch if the company produced 110,000 watches in 2018

Sales / Numbers of watches produced

= 269,500 / 110,000

= $2,45

Workings of schedule of cost of Goods Manufactured

Utilities =0.65 × 9,200 = 5,980

Insurance = 0.7 × 2,500 = 1,750

Rent Expense = 0.9 × 27,000 = 24,300

Factory equipment depreciation = Cost - Salvage value / Number of years

= 50,000 - 5,000 / 5

= 45,000 /5

= 9,000

Workings of cost of Goods sold

Cost of good sold = Beginning finished good inventory + Cost of Good Manufactured - Ending finished good inventory

= 3,750 + 191,830

= 195,580

Workings of income statement

Utilities = 0.35 × 9,200 = 3,220

Insurance= 0.3 × 2,500 = 750

Selling Expense = 0.35 × 34,700 = 12,145

Administrative expense = 0.3 × 30,900 = 9,270

10% of rent expense allocated to selling & Administrative

Selling = 0.1 × 34,700 = 3,470

Administrative = 0.1 × 30,900 = 3,090

Income taxes = 0.21 × 27,275 = 5,727.75

Harlamova29_29 [7]
In this type of situation, both Ramsay and the company will be investigated for the tax fraud case. Even if Ramsay was found not guilty, the company will still be investigated since the company is a separate entity and there is an alleged big amount hidden in company's assets. If the company is found guilty, it will still be liable for the case even if Ramsay was found not guilty. Most likely, the investigators will try to tie the case back to him anyway since he is one of the main representatives of the company.
