Total Year for direct labor                                       $ 130,200

Explanation:

Computation of raw material purchases

<u>Raw material consumption</u>

Qtr No of Units per qtr Total Requirement

1        9,000 * 7 gms per unit =      63,000 gms

2      12,000 * 7 gms per unit =      84,000 gms

3       11,000 * 7 gms per unit =      77,000 gms

4       10,000 * 7 gms per unit =     <u>70,000</u> gms

Total Year                                     294,000 gms

Raw Material Purchases for each quarter

Purchases = Closing inventory + Consumption - Opening inventory

1 21,000 (84,000gms * 25 % ) + 63,000 - 15.750 =  68,250 gms  

2 19,250 (77,000gms* 25 %) + 84,000 - 21,000 =  82,250 gms

3 17,500 ( 70,000gms* 25 %) + 77,000-19,250 =  75,250 gms

4 8,000 ( As per data) + 70,000-17.500            =  60,500 gms

Total year purchases =                                       =  286,250 gms

<u>Cost of purchases</u>

Quarter 1    68,250 gms  * $ 1.20     = $  81,900

Quarter 2   82,250 gms * $ 1.20      = $  98,700

Quarter 3   75,250 gms * $ 1,20     =  $ 90,300

Quarter 4   60,500 gms * $ 1,20    =   <u>$ 72,600</u>

Total purchases                                   $ 343,500

Computation of cash disbursements for purchases

Quarter 1 Payments = Opening Payables + 60 % of quarter 1

$ 5,600 + ( 60 %* $ 81,900) = $ 5,600 + $ 49,140 =               $ 54,740

Quarter 2 payments

(40 % of quarter 1) + ( 60 % of quarter 2)

($ 81,900 * 40 %) + ( $ 98,700 * 60 %)

$ 32,760 + $ 59,220                                               =                $ 91,980

Quarter 3 payments

(40 % of quarter 2) + ( 60 % of quarter 3)

($ 98,700 * 40 %) + ( $ 90,300 * 60 %)

$ 39,480 + $ 54,180                                                =                $ 93.660    

Quarter 4 payments

(40 % of quarter 3) + ( 60 % of quarter 4)

($ 90,300 * 40 %) + ( $ 72,600 * 60 %)

$ 36,120 + $ 43,560                                                =               <u> $ 79,680</u>

Total payments for purchases for the year                            $ 320,060

Computation of direct labor cost  

No of units * Estimated Direct labor hours * Labor rate per hour

Quarter 1  =    9,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         $  27.900

Quarter 2  =   12,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =        $  37.200

Quarter 3       11,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         $  34.100

Quarter 4       10,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         <u>$  31.000</u>

Total cost for Direct labour                                                        $ 130,200

Sauron [17]

Answer:

c. corporation

Explanation:

A corporation is a type of business ownership that recognizes a business as a separate entity from its owners. Legally, a corporation is an independent person with commercial rights like any other person. A corporation is entitled to de business, incur debts, acquires assets, and make profits.

A corporation is expected to file its income tax returns at the end of every financial year. The owners of a corporation or its shareholders are also expected to file their separate income tax returns. An element of double taxation arises the business is taxed, and the owners are also taxed separately. In the other form of business ownership, the business incomes pass as owner's income resulting in single taxation.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

change in net working capital = $21,903

Explanation:

given data

beginning current assets = $121,306

beginning current liabilities = $124,509

end of the year current assets = $122,418

end of the year current liabilities = $103,718

solution

we get here working capital at beginning that is express as

working capital = Current assets - current liabilities    ......................1

put here value we get

working capital = $121,306 - $124,509  

working capital = -$3203  

and now we get here working capital for end of year that is

working capital = Current assets - current liabilities    ......................2

working capital = $122,418 - $103,718

working capital =  $18,700

so now we can get change in net working capital that is difference between   beginning and ending working capital

change in net working capital = $18,700  - (-$3,203)

change in net working capital = $21,903
