Answer:

Purchase= 14,500 pounds

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

the total pounds needed for production in the current period is 14,000. Beginning inventory= 2,000 pounds

Desired ending inventory= 2,500 pounds

To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:

Purchase= direct material for the period + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchase= 14,000 + 2,500 - 2,000

Purchase= 14,500 pounds

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C. decreased by $40 billion

Explanation:

For computing the lending ability, first we have to determine the money multiplier which is shown below:

We know that

Money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve ratio

                            = 1 ÷ 20%

                            = 5

So, the total cash would be

= $10 billion × $5

= $50 million

Now the lending ability would be

=$50 billion × (1 - 20%)

= $50 billion × 0.80

= $40 billion

Read and compare the following two scenarios. Explain why the court should or should not pierce the corporate veil in each scena
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Piercing the Corporate Veil:

1. Smith Services, Inc. and Laker Express:  With the given facts, Smith Services is still in operation by the alter ego, since Smith - the sole owner, has continued to provide trucking services.  Smith should be able to pay for the debts it owed Laker Express.  The question is: why was Smith Services, Inc. dissolved in the first place when the sole owner could continue privately to do the same business?  Is there element of fraud involved, or was it trying to avoid its obligations?  It seems that the dissolution was an effort to avoid liabilities and not because of impaired ability to operate the business because its own debtors did not pay for services on several contracts.  Another question is: during the dissolution or liquidation of Smith Services, Inc. were other creditors not settled and where was Laker Express then?

However, it appears that the dissolution was just to avoid liability, especially the $35,000 debt owed to Laker Express for fuel purchases.

Therefore, in this situation where it seems that the corporate form is ignored, commingling of assets exists, and that Smith Services, Inc. is an instrumentality for Tony Smith, I will advise that the corporate veil be lifted.  Tony Smith should be held liable for the business debts of Smith Services, Inc. because he has continued to use the assets of Smith Services, Inc. to run a sole proprietorship in the same line of business.  However, recourse must be had to the State laws on piercing the corporate veil.

2. Country Contractors, Inc. & Westside Storage of Indianapolis:

Since Country Contractors, Inc and the Westside Storage are based in Indiana, the decision to pierce the corporate veil should be based on the eight factors that are applicable for piercing the veil:  They include: undercapitalization;  absence of corporate records;  fraudulent representation by corporation shareholders or directors;  use of the corporation to promote fraud, injustice or illegal activities;  payment by the corporation of individual obligations;  commingling of assets and affairs;  failure to observe required corporate formalities; or  other shareholder acts or conduct ignoring, controlling, or manipulating the corporate form.

But, the facts in this case do not support that any of the factors had been breached.

So, I do not support that Songers are personally liable for Country's failure to complete its contract.

Explanation:

The corporate veil is an important instrument for protecting shareholders of corporations from being held liable for the liabilities of the corporation in their individual and personal capacities.  Corporate veil ensures that the entity is treated as a separate entity from its shareholders.  It is a protection offered by law to encourage private enterprise and ensure that the debts of corporate bodies are not tagged to the individual shareholders.  It is this veil that ensures the limited liability concept, whereby, the shareholders could only lose their capital contributions in case of business failure or dissolution.

Piercing the corporate veil is a court decision to lift the veil that separates the shareholders of corporation from their shareholders.  There are special factors that must be met for courts to pierce the corporate veil and they do it reluctantly.

The total factory overhead for Rowland Company is budgeted for the year at $652,000 and divided into two departments: Fabricatio
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

$86

Explanation:

The total overhead for Rowland Co. = $652,000 per annum (p/a). broken down across two departments as follows:

Department/Item                     (Treadmill)      ||     (Weight Machine)

                                                    (Direct labor hours in production)      Total

Fabrication = $460,000 p/a            3              ||                 2

Assembly = $192,000 p/a                1              ||                 5

Nos of Units for production            4000          ||              4000

To produce 4000 Weight Machines, would require 8000 fabrication hours and 20,000 assembly hours. while, 4000 treadmills will require 12,000 fabrication hours and 4,000 assembly hours.

Total number of Fabrication hours for the year is 12,000 + 8,000 = 20,000.

Total number of assembly hours for the year is 20,000 + 4,000 = 24,000

Unit cost per hour of fabrication (uF) = $460,000/20,000 = $23

Unit cost per hour of assembly (uA) = $192,000/24,000 = $8

Therefore, the allocated overhead per unit for each weight machine

= (2 * $23) + (5 * $8) = $46 + $40 = $86
