Interdepartment Services: Step Method
Stells [14]

Answer:

O'Brian's Department Stores

a) Determination of the percentage of total personnel department services that was provided to the Payroll department

Since allocation of the personnel department services is based on the number of employees, we can use this to calculate the percentage.  The personnel employees are not included in this calculation.

= 4/32 x 100 = 12.5%

b) Percentage of total payroll department services provided to the personnel department.  Since the basis is the gross payroll, we can use this to calculate the percentage.  The gross payroll of the Payroll department is not included in the calculation.

= $6,000/$42,100 x 100 = 14.3%

c)                          Personnel  Payroll  House-     Clothing   Furniture    Total

                                                         Ware

Direct department

  cost               $ 7,800  $ 3,200    $ 12,200   $ 20,000  $ 16,750  $59,950

Number of

  employees       5              4                8               16             4             37

Gross payroll $ 6,000  $ 3,300    $ 10,600     $ 17,400    $ 8,100   $45,400

Total cost      $13,800   $6,500    $22,800     $37,400  $24,850  $105,350

Allocation of service departments costs, using the step method:

Personnel      -13,800      1,725          3,450         6,900       1,725       13,800

Payroll              0           -8,225           2,415         3,965        1,845       8,225

Total allocated 0               0          $28,665    $48,265   $28,420 $105,350

Explanation:

a) Data:

                        Personnel  Payroll  House-     Clothing   Furniture    Total

                                                         Ware

Direct department

  cost               $ 7,800  $ 3,200    $ 12,200   $ 20,000  $ 16,750  $59,950

Number of

  employees       5              4                8               16             4             37

Gross payroll $ 6,000  $ 3,300    $ 10,600     $ 17,400    $ 8,100   $45,400

b) Cost allocation & Calculations:

Personnel (based on the number of employees)

Rate = $13,800/32 = $431.25 per employee

Payroll (based on gross payroll)

Rate = Payroll cost = Payroll cost divided by the total gross payroll in the other departments, excluding personnel and payroll departments

= $8,225/$36,100 = $0.2278 per gross payroll

c) Allocation of service departments' costs is a method of apportioning costs incurred by service departments to the production departments in order to include all the costs in the product costs.  Three methods exist for allocating service departments' costs to the production departments.  The first, which is the simplest, is the direct method.  With this method, the costs of service departments are allocated directly to each production department based on the consumption of the service department's services.  They are not allocated to other service departments.

The second method is the step method.  Here, the costs of one service department with the highest cost are allocated to all other departments first, including production and other service departments following a step.  The costs of the next service department with the highest costs are allocated to the remaining departments.  This step is continued until all the service departments' costs have been allocated.  Once the costs of a service department have been completely allocated, that department would not be allocated any other cost.

The Reciprocal method, which is the last method, is the most accurate and complicated method.  This method first establishes the relationship among the service departments in equation form and uses the established equations to allocate the costs of service departments.  We may not discuss it further than this.

ABC stock has just closed at $70.50. A customer has an open order on the Specialist's book (DMM's book) to sell short 100 shares
Rudiy27

Answer:

A) Sell short 100 ABC at 69.45 Stop

Explanation:

When an order is placed below the market (OBLOSS - Open Buy Limits Open Sell Stops) it will be adjusted on the specialist's book for distributions on ex date. This open sell stop order = $70 - $0.55 (dividend) = $69.45

So the adjusted order will be: Sell short 100 ABC at 69.45 stop.

The Quick Buck Company is an all-equity firm that has been in existence for the past three years. Company management expects tha
Vika [28.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the current price per share is shown below:

Current price per share = Value of Firm  ÷ Number of stock outstanding

where,

Value of Firm is

= $800,000 ÷ 1.13 + $1,250,000  ÷ 1.13^2

= $1,686,897.96

And, the number of outstanding shares is 35,000 shares

So, the current share price is

= $1,686,897.96 ÷ 35,000 shares  

= $48.20

c. The computation of the shares of stock sold is shown below:

No of shares of stock must be sold is

= ($910,000 - $800,000) ÷ 48.20

= $2,282.16

c. The computation of the new price per share of stock is shown below:

Current price per share = Value of Firm  ÷ Number of stock outstanding

where,

Value of Firm is

= $910,000 ÷ 1.13 +  $1,250,000 ÷ 1.13^2

= $1,784,243.09

And, the number of outstanding shares is 35,000 shares and $2,282.16

So, the current share price is

= $1,784,243.09  ÷ 35,000 shares  + $2,282.16

= $47.86

1. The Herfindahl index: Suppose that three firms make up the entire bicycle manufacturing industry. One has a 40% market share,
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

3400, Rise, C

Explanation:

1. Since there are just 3 firms and two already has a sum total of 70% (40+30), the third firm will have a market share of 30%

HHI= 40^{2}+ 30^{2}+30^{2}\\

HHI= 1600+900+900

HHI= 3400

2. Abe's Bikes with 30% leaves the market, if the two firms were to share Abe's market share equally (15+15), it will leave Firm A with 55% (40+15) and Firm B with (30+15) 45%

Therefore,

HHI= 55^{2}+45^{2}

HHI=3025+2025

HHI= 5050

A rise in HHI

3. C

An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share.
