Answer: 1. D. Economic entity

2. C. Circumstances prevent the exercise of control.

3. B. Consolidation used for both Sell and Vane.

4. B. In form, the companies are separate; in substance, they are one entity

Explanation:

1. When a parent–subsidiary relationship exists, it can be infered that consolidated financial statements will be prepared in recognition of the accounting concept of economic entity.

2. Consolidated financial statements are prepared when one company has a controlling interest in another unless the circumstances prevent the exercise of control.

3. Based on the information given, in Penn’s consolidated financial statements, it should be noted that Sell and Vane should be consolidated. Therefore, the correct option is B.

4. The best theoretical justification for consolidated financial statements is that in form, the companies are separate while in substance, they are regarded as one entity.

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Decreasing marginal product.

Marginal product is the change in the level of output, when there will be an extra input employed in the production of a certain commodity.

So, Marginal Product = $\frac{change\ in\ Q}{Change\ in\ I}$

Where,

Q = Output

I = Input

Marginal product of 1st bag = 500

Marginal product of 2nd bag = $\frac{800-500}{2-1}$ = 300

Marginal product of 3rd bag = $\frac{900-800}{3-2}$ = 100

∴ From the above calculations, we can seen that as we employed one more bag of seeds as a result marginal product goes on diminishing.

Hence, Joan's production function exhibits decreasing marginal product.

Answer:

$2,200,000 gain

Explanation:

When the amount received from the disposal of an asset is lower than the carrying or net book value (NBV) of the asset, the company makes a loss on disposal otherwise, the company makes a gain on disposal.

The carrying amount of the asset is the difference between the asset's cost and accumulated depreciation as at the date of disposal.

Asset NBV = $2,000,000 - $1,200,000

= $800,000

Gain/(loss) on disposal = $3,000,000 - $800,000

= $2,200,000

Assume that the following events occurred at a division of Generic Electric for March of the current year:

Crank

Answer:

$192 million; $153.60 million; $38.40 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct material purchased = $80 million

Direct labor costs = $51 million

Manufacturing overhead = $77 million

Percent of the work-in-process completed = 80%

(1) Transfers-In:

= Direct materials + Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead

= (80% × $80 million) + $51 million + $77 million

= $64 million + $51 million + $77 million

= $192 million

(2) Transfer-out:

= Transfers-In × percent of the work-in-process completed

= $ 192 million × 80 %

= $ 153.60 million

(3) Ending Balance:

= Transfers-In - Transfer-out

= $192 million - $ 153.60 million

= $38.40
