Why do overhead costs often shift from high-volume products to low-volume products when a company switches from a conventional c

Answer:

When a company is using conventional costing methods, the costs are allocated based on volume so those products with a high volume will get a higher share of the costs.

When Activity-based costing is used however, costs are assigned more accurately which will lead to the actual products that are causing the costs incurring them instead of those high-volume products so it will appear as though overhead costs have shifted from high-volume products to low-volume products.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

a) must accept market price for its physical capital inputs.

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 using the indirect method.

Cash flow from operating activities:

Net loss = $12,000

Adjustment to reconcile net loss with cash flows from operating activities:

Depreciation = ($20,000 + $10,000 - $13,000) = $7,000

Loss on sale of land = $2,000

Increase in accounts receivable = ($20,000)

Increase in prepaid expense = ($5,000)

Increase in accounts payable = $6,000

Net cash used in operating activities = ($12,000)

Cash flow from investing activities

Sale of land = ($40,000 - $18,000 - $2,000) = $20,000

Sale of equipment = $5,000

Net cash generated by investing activities = $25,000

Cash flow from financing activities

Retirement of bond = ($12,000)

Proceeds from issuance of bonds = $20,000

Net cash used by financing activities = $8,000

Net increase in cash = $6,000

Add: beginning cash balance = $31,000

Ending cash balance = $37,000

Workings

• Calculation of depreciation

The accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($20,000)

Hence;

Accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($13,000)

Increase in accumulated depreciation during 2020 = $20,000 - $13,000 = $7,000

Add: accumulated depreciation on equipment sold during 2017 = $10,000

Total depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,000 + $10,000 = $17,000

• Calculation of proceeds from sale of land:

Cost of land = $40,000 - $18,000 = $22,000

Loss on sale of land = $2,000

Therefore,

Proceeds from sale of land = cost of land sold - loss on sale of land

= $22,000 - $2,000

= $20,000

• Calculation of issuance of bonds payable during 2020

The bonds payable at the end of year 2019 = $19,000

Hence,

Bonds payable at the end of year 2020 = $27,000

Retirement of bonds during year 2020 = $12,000

Therefore,

Bonds issued during 2020 = $27,000 + $12,000 - $19,000 = $20,000

Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage buildi
Anika [276]

Answer:

a) the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

Dr Right of use 483,360

   Cr Lease liability 483,360

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 66,699
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 66,699 + {66,699 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = 66,699 + 416,661 = $483,360

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, first annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 66,699

   Cr Cash 66,699

December 31, 2020, second annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 33,366

Dr Interest expense 33,333

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $416,661 x 8% = $33,333

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

December 31, 2021, third annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 36,035

Dr Interest expense 30,664

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $383,295 x 8% = $30,664

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

 Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

b) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= -$5,000 + $1,000 = $4,000

c) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= 5,000 + {5,000 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = $36,234
