Answer:

A, $286,000

Explanation:

Whenever there is equity method followed, for accounting of subsidiary then entire income and dividends received are accounted for in the cost of investment.

Here cost = $257,000

Add: all the incomes of Merriam = $40,000 + $47,000 = $87,000

Less: Any dividends received = $10,000 + $10,000 = $20,000

Less: Amortization = $19,000 + $19,000 = $38,000

Therefore, total carrying value = $257,000 + $87,000 - $20,000 - $38,000

= $286,000

In equity method therefore, carrying value on December 31, 2018 = $286,000

Final Answer

A, $286,000

                          Net income of year 2017

                                            -

Hunter-Best [27]

Based on the inflation rate and the yield to maturity, the real rate of return on the bonds will be 5.23%.

<h3>What is the real rate of return?</h3>

This can be found by the formula:

=  (( 1 + nominal Return) / ( 1 + Inflation rate)) - 1

Solving gives:

= ( ( 1 + 8.0%) / ( 1 + 8.90%)) - 1

= 1.0523 - 1

= 5.23%

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Selling price per unit= $233.87

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Overhead:

Estimated overhead= $249,000

Variable manufacturing overhead= $3.80 per machine-hou

Estimated machine-hours= 30,000 machine-hours.

Job X784:

Number of units in the job 50

Total machine-hours 250

Direct materials $ 470

Direct labor cost $5,500

Selling price= 30% mark up

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (249,000/30,000) + 3.8

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $12.1 per machine hour

Now, we can determine the total cost of Job X784:

Total cost= 470 + 5,500 + (12.1*250)

Total cost= $8,995

Finally, the selling price per unit:

Unitary cost= 8,995/50= $179.9

Selling price per unit= 179.9*1.30= $233.87
