Answer: There was no gain or loss on the sale of this asset.

Explanation: In order to calculate how much profit/loss was made on an asset when it is sold, you have to take the cost price of the asset, and deduct the accumulated depreciation of the asset up to the date of sale. This is known as the book value of the asset, and shows how much it was worth on the day it was sold.

Cost price is the purchase price that the asset was worth on the day it was bought by Strike Company. Accumulated depreciation is the total reduction of the worth of an asset periodically, because of wear and tear.

Book value is calculated as:

Cost price: $244,400

- Accumulated depreciation: ($219,960)

= Book Value = $24,440

However the asset was sold for $24,440. This means that Strike Company sold this asset at its pure value, which is the book value. Thus forfeiting the chance to make a profit, or a loss.

How do you plan to use financial statements in your projected financial statement analysis? Provide rationale for your approach.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The financial statement provides the "raw materials" with which the financial performance of an organisation may be analysed.

The financials ratios not only monitor financial performance, but it also speaks to the quality of performance and serves as a basis to compare one period against the other.

The cashflows help to create a picture of the project's liquidity in each of the forecasted periods.

The Income statement helps to gauge the quality of the earnings per period and the balance sheet shows the economic position of the firm at the time under observation.

Cheers!

Primara Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to products based on the standard direct labor-hours
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.

2. The fixed overhead budget variance is $4,000 unfavourable and the fixed overhead volume variance is $10,000 favourable.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:

predetermined overhead rate for the year=<u>Total fixed overhead cost year</u>

                                                                          Budgeted direct labor-hours

                                                                     =$ 250,000/25,000

                                                                      =$10,000

1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.

In order to calculate the fixed overhead budget variance, we use the following formula:

2. fixed overhead budget variance=Actual fixed overhead cost for the year- budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year

                                                     =$ 254,000-$ 250,000

                                                     =$4,000 unfavourable

In order to calculate the fixed overhead volume variance, we use the following formula:

fixed overhead volume variance=budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year-fixed overhead appliead to work in process

                                                     =$ 250,000-(26,000×10)

                                                     =$10,000 favourable

Porter Co. owned all of the voting common stock of Simi Corp. The corporations' balance sheets dated December 31, 2018, include
Katena32 [7]

Answer: $672,000

Explanation:

Porter sold land to Simi which means that their land balance reduces. Simi's however increases by the same amount. As Porter owned all the voting stock, the sale will be accounted for at the book value.

The Consolidated balance for land in 2020 will therefore be calculated as,

= (Porter land value - Sales price) + (Simi land value + Sales price)

= (416,000 - 65,000) + (256,000 + 65,000)

= 351,000 + 321,000

= $672,000

The book value of the Consolidated land will be $672,000 in 2020.
