= 3 million

Balance 2019 = 50 + 3 - 1

= $52 million

Year 2020 balance

= Opening balance + Net income - amortization

= 52 + 1.8 - 0.5

= $53.3 million

= $53,300,000

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

For April, revenue was $90,000 and labor hours were 4x[(40x6)+(25x4)]. This is 90,000/1,360 = 66.18 dollars per hour of labor. For May, revenue was $80,000 and labor hours were 4x[(40x6)+(10x2)] This is 80,000/1,040 =  77 dollars per hour of labor a difference of $ 10.82per hour. The percentage change in productivity between April and May, then, is 3.95/44.12 = 0.1634935026x 100 = 16.35%

good luck ❤

applied vs. actual manufacturing overhead davis manufacturing corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of 150% of
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Subapplication of    22,500

journal entry:

WIP                   4,500 debit

finished goods 2,250 debit

COGS               15,750 debit

    factory overhead               22,500 credit

Explanation:

Direct Labor cost during the year:

60,000 + 30,000 + 210,000 = 300,000 direct labor

<u></u>

<u>Applied overhead:</u>

cost driver x predetermined rate

300,000 x 150% = 450,000

Actual overhead:   472,500

Subapplication of    22,500

as this is a significant amount we must adjust the WIP  inventory, cost of goods sold and fnished goods inventory

to know the adjustment on each account we calcualte each account percentage:

300,000   -->   22,500

60,000 --> 60,000/300,000 x 22,500 = 4,500 endingWIP

30,000 --> 30,000/300,000 x 22,500  = 2,250 finished goods

210,000--> 210,000/300,000 x 22,500 = 15,750 COGS

we do the adjuting entry to increase overhead and transfer into each concept
