jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

warrant expense 51,000 debit

          cash                       6,000 credit

          warranty liability 45,000 credit

--to record warrant-related accounts--

interest payable 16,667 debit

interest expense  3,333 debit

          cash                  20,000 credit

--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--

Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772  debit

              Cash                    5,000,000 credit

              Restoration Liability 192,772 credit

-- to record the payment to contractor--

Explanation:

Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility

Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th

That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable

At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest

200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense

in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay

Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:

As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:

present value of the 500,000 in ten years:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $500,000.00

time  10.00

rate  0.10000

\frac{500000}{(1 + 0.1)^{10} } = PV  

PV   192,771.6447

Total cost:

5,000,000 cashg + 192,772 liability = 5,192,772

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Saddle Inc.

1. Overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach is:

= $1.84

2. The overhead rates using activity-based costing approach are:

Machining = $72.49

Machine setup = $211.69

3. The difference in allocation between the two approaches:

Differences:

ABC approach        $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Using plantwide     $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Differences              $11,408    -$11,332             $76

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total estimated overhead costs = $300,000

Machining activity = $195,000

Machine setup activity = $105,000

                             Standard   Custom     Total

Direct labor costs $60,000 $103,000  $163,000

Machine hours           1,400        1,290       2,690

Setup hours                    96          400          496

Overhead rate based on direct labor costs = $1.84 ($300,000/163,000)

Overhead rates using activity-based costing approach:

Machining = $72.49 ($195,000/2,690)

Machine setup = $211.69 ($105,000/496)

Allocation of overhead costs:

                                 Standard   Custom         Total

Using plantwide       $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Using ABC:

Machining                $101,486    $93,512    $194,998

Machine setup           20,322      84,676      104,998

Total costs               $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Differences:

ABC approach        $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Using plantwide     $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Differences               $11,408    -$11,332            $76
