As the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up
Klio2033 [76]
<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Part (a):</h3>

Solved part is attached as an image.

<h3>Part (b):</h3>

Let us first determine the amount required of each item to produce 1 bracket.

From the attached diagram, we can see that to manufacture 1 bracket, quantity of each item needed is,

Base = 1

Spring = 2

Clamp = 1 + 4 = 5

Housing = 2

Handle = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5

Casting = (1 * 1) + (4 * 1) = 5

Bearing = 2 * 2 = 4

Shaft = 2 * 1 = 2

Hence, for 50 Brackets, quantity of each item required will be,

Base = 1 * 50 = 50

Spring = 2 * 50 = 100

Clamp = 5 * 50 = 250

Housing = 2 * 50 = 100

Handle = 5 * 50 = 250

Casting = 5  * 50 = 250

Bearing = 4 * 50 = 200

Shaft = 2 * 50 = 100

<em>NOTE: The above quantities give exclusive quantities required for each item. In actual practice, we won't have to purchase base, clamp & housing separately as the will be assembled from their components which are already procured.</em>

<h3>Part (c):</h3>

As 25 bases are already in stock, parts for them will not be needed. I will refer the quantities subtracted due to this by indicating (B). Similarly, quantities subtracted due to clamps will be indicated as (C).

Base = 50 - 25 = 25

Spring = 50

Clamp = 250 - 100 - 25(B) = 125

Housing = 100 - (2*25)(B) = 50

Handle = 1 * 125 = 125

Casting = 1 * 125 = 125

Bearing = 2 * 50 = 100

Shaft = 1 * 50 = 50

A company reported net income of $200,000 during 2019. The company reported depreciation expense of $35,000, patent amortization
OLga [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

The company’s cash flow from operating activities for the year 2019 is computed as follows;

Net income $200,000

Add:

Depreciation 35,000

Amortization of patent 10,000

loss on the sale of equipment 5,000

Total cash provided by operating activities $250,000

*Depreciation expense, amortization expense and loss on sale on equipment are all non cash transaction which cause a decrease on net income. Thus if we want to know the actual cash activities for the year, we have to add it back to the Net income to arrive the correct answer.
