bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. To determine each Job total costs

Job 306

1.

Opening Direct Material = $30,000

Add Input to production = $139,000

Total Inventory usage = $169,000

2.

Payroll opening balance = $23,000

April payroll = $103,000

Total payroll = $126,000

3.

Overhead opening = $11,500

April Overhead 50% of $103,000 = $51,500

Total Overhead = $63,000

Total costs of 306 = 1 + 2 + 3 = $358,000

**allocate Overhead by Raw Material usage:

Apr direct material for 306 divided by total April direct material x total April Overhead

= 139,000 / 454,000 x $191,000

= $58,478

(We have over applied Overhead by $4,522 using the 50% predetermined rate rule)

Job 307

1.

Opening Direct Material = $41,000

Add Input to production = $200,000

Total Inventory usage = $241,000

2.

Payroll opening balance = $16,000

April payroll = $150,000

Total payroll = $166,000

3.

Overhead opening = $8,000

April Overhead 50% of $150,000 = $75,000

Total Overhead = $83,000

Total costs of 307 = 1 + 2 + 3 = $490,000

**allocate Overhead by Raw Material usage:

Apr direct material for 307 divided by total April direct material x total April Overhead

= 200,000 / 454,000 x $191,000

= $84,141

(We have over applied Overhead by $1,141 using the 50% predetermined rate rule)

Job 308

1.

Opening Direct Material = $0

Add Input to production = $115,000

Total Inventory usage = $115,000

2.

Payroll opening balance = $0

April payroll = $104,000

Total payroll = $104,000

3.

Overhead opening = $0

April Overhead 50% of $104,000 = $52,000

Total Overhead = $52,000

Total costs of 308 to work in progress = 1 + 2 + 3 = $271,000

**allocate Overhead by Raw Material usage:

Apr direct material for 308 divided by total April direct material x total April Overhead

= 115,000 / 454,000 x $191,000

= $48,381

(We have over applied Overhead by $3,619 using the 50% predetermined rate rule)

B.

1. Sales of Job 306 = $690,000

Transfer of costs to Finished Goods : Job 306 = $358,000

Add Adjustments for Overhead over applied = -$4,522

Cost of sales = $353,478

2.

Sales of Job 307 = not yet sold

Transfer of costs to Finished Goods : Job 307 = $490,000

Add Adjustments for Overhead over applied = -$1,141

Cost of goods available for sales = $488,859

3. Sales of Job 308 = still work in progress

Transfer of costs to work in progress : Job 308 = $271,000

Add Adjustments for Overhead over applied = -$3,619

Cost of Work in progress = $267,381

Cost Per Equivalent Unit = Total Costs/ Equivalent Units

Cost Per Equivalent Unit Materials = 807120/ 374,000= $ 2.158 ≅$ 2.16

We divide the total costs of Materials with the total Equvilant units of Materials to get Cost Per Equivalent Unit of Materials which is 2.16

Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc. is concerned they are not maintaining adequate liquidity. The accounting department has provided yo
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.

1. Indications from ratios about Black Sparrow Aviation:

The current ratio of 4.5 is higher than the industry's norm of 4.0.  This indicates that working capital elements are not being managed properly.  This is supported by the the remaining four ratios.  Inventory level is not optimal.  More inventory is held without being sold to customers.  Obviously, from the inventory turnover of 6.0 translating to approximately 61 days that it takes the company to sell its inventory as against the industry average of 35 days, it shows that the marketing and sales forces lack stamina.  Debt collection from customers is over-delayed, showing poor credit policy and management.  Perhaps, it takes the company many days to issue invoices.  More time than necessary is allowed to customers to pay compared to the industry norm.  In addition, payments are made to suppliers 11 days earlier than the industry average.  Advantage is not being taken of trade credit offered by suppliers.   Trade credit is an important source of funding operations, which every company should utilize to the maximum.

2A.  Based on the above ratios, I would recommend:

1. Minimum inventory should be maintained.

2. Sales efforts should be intensified, so that more sales are made each year than it is currently the case.

3. Debt collection is an important activity for every company that sells on account.  This activity should be taken seriously.  Credit extension to customers should not exceed 50 days.

4. Payments to suppliers can be delayed by more 10 days without offending suppliers.

2B. Results from Recommendations:

1. Working capital is not tied in inventory.

2. More debts are recovered from customers and on time.  Delay increases credit default.

3. More sales are made to customers, increasing the turnover.  The profit is always in the frequency of turnover.

4. Short-term financing is obtained from suppliers, which strengthens liquidity.

Explanation:

Liquidity management is a financial management tool, which describes a company's ability to meet financial obligations through cash flow, funding activities, and capital management in order to minimize the risks associated with illiquidity.

Calculation, analysis, comparison of ratios are some of the ways to make informed decisions on liquidity management.  Ratios should be compared over many periods, with best performing competitors, and the industry norm to ascertain the position of the reporting entity.

Garza Corporation has two production departments, Casting and Customizing. The company uses a job-order costing system and compu
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

d. $73,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated total manufacturing overhead for the customizing department is shown below:

= Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + Variable manufacturing overhead cost

where,

the variable manufacturing overhead cost = Customized Direct labor-hours × Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour

= 7,000 units × $5

= $35,000

And, the Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $38,500

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $38,500 + ($7,000 hours × $5 per hour)

= $38,500 + $35,000

= $73,500
