Answer:

a. 12% per year

Explanation:

Effective interest rate

r = (1 + i/n)^n - 1

r = effective interest rate

i = simple interest rate compounded monthly

n = number of compound intervals

12.68% = ((1+i/12)^12)-1)

1+0.1268 = ((1+i/12)^12)

1.1268^(1/12) =1+i/12

1.010 = 1+i/12

1.010-1 = i/12

0.010 x 12 = i

i = 0.12 = 12%

Indicate whether the following statements about the conceptual framework are true or false. (a) The fundamental qualitative char

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

True or False Statements about the conceptual framework:

(a) False: The fundamental qualitative characteristics that make accounting information useful are relevance and faithful representation, which suggest materiality and completeness respectively.

(b) False: Relevant information must also be material in a financial statement user's decision, in addition to having predictive and confirmatory values.

(c) False: It is information that is relevant that is characterized as having predictive or confirmatory value, and not information that shows faithful representation.

(d) False: Comparability also refers to comparisons of a firm over time (which is appropriately described as consistency). This is in addition to the similar reporting of information by different companies.

(e) False: Enhancing characteristics do not relate only to faithful representation but also to relevance.

(f) True.

Explanation:

Faithful representation implies completeness. Relevance means that the disclosure will attract important consideration and is material to the matter. Therefore, users of financial reports base their decisions on relevant information and not irrelevant details.

On January 3, 2014, Trusty Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $90,000. Before placing the truck in service, Trusty

Answer:

Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 - 5 under:

the Straight-line method is $90,000.
the Units-of-production method is $90,000.
the Double-declining-balance method is $86,170.

Explanation:

The total cost of the asset is $90,000 + $3,000 + $1,500 + $4,500 = $99,000, since all the other costs were directly attributable cost and were necessary to bring the asset to usable form.

The painting is capitalized because it is the first time Trust Delivery would be using the asset, otherwise it would have been expended
Overhauling cost can be regarded as a separate asset, if we were provided with different useful lives - componentization.

Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($99,000 - $9,000) / 5 years = $18,000 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 to 5 is $18,000 x 5 years $90,000.

The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($99,000 - $9,000) / 100,000 miles x 22,500 miles = $20,250/year

Accumulated depreciation for the first four years is $20,250 x 4 years = $81,000.

At Year 5, depreciation = $90,000 / 100,000 miles x 10,000 miles = $9,000

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Years 1 - 4.

Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 5, under this method, is $90,000 (addition of first four years and the Year 5).

The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/5years = 20%, then 20% multiplied by 2 to give 40%

At Year 1, 40% X $99,000 = $39,600

At Year 2, 40% X $59,400 ($99,000 - $39,600) = $23,760

At Year 3, 40% X $35,640 ($59,400 - $23,760) = $14,256

At Year 4, 40% X $21,384 ($35,640 - $14,256) = $8,554 approximately (the depreciation expense would stop at this stage since the amount falls below the residual value).

Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 4, under this method, is $86,170 (addition of all the yearly depreciation).

mart [117]

Answer:

b. $85,000

Explanation:

First, we should prepare the analysis of cost savings if the company buys outside.

Analysis of cost and savings

Purchase (5,000 units × $68) = ($340,000)

Savings

Variable cost = $80,000

Fixed cost = $175,000

Net income effect

($85,000)

The effect is a decrease in net income by $85,000.

EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,039,500. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool a

vichka [17]

Answer:

1. Cutting $1.80 per machine hour

Design $390 per setup

2. Wool product line $627,000

Cotton Product line $412,500

3. Overhead rate $2.10

4. Wool Product line $519,750

Cotton Product line $519,750

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine the overhead rate using activity based costing.

Overhead rate using the activity based costing

Cutting = Overhead / Total Machine hours

= $396,000 / 220,000

= $1.80 per machine hour

Design = Overhead / Number of setups

= $643,500 / 1,650

= $390 per setup

2. Calculation to determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing

Overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line

Wool product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (1,100 * $390)

Wool product line= $198,000 + $429,000

Wool product line= $627,000

Cotton Product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (550 * $390)

Cotton Product line= $198,000 + $214,500

Cotton Product line= $412,500

3.Calculation to determine the overhead rate using traditional approach.

Overhead rate using traditional approach

Overhead rate = Total Overhead / Direct labor hours

Overhead rate= $1,039,500 / 495,000

Overhead rate= $2.10

4. Calculation to determine What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach

Overhead allocated using the traditional method

Wool Product line = $1,039,500 / 2

Wool Product line= $519,750

Cotton Product line = $1,039,500 / 2

Cotton Product line= $519,750
