Identify which basic principle of accounting is best described in each item below.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The Matching Principle

Explanation:

The Matching Principle of accounting holds that revenues should be matched with expenses. Hence the name.

This is to say, that revenues should only be recognized when the associated expenses with those revenues have been spent.

For example, in numeral a), we can see that Norfolk Southern Corporation recieved cash in advance, but it only recognized revenue once it had performed the services associated with that cash collection.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a. $17,978

b. $300,000

Explanation:

Conditions

The cotton country of lancaster, california has owned his home for ten years
purchased it for $178,000, cotton bought a $160,000 homeowner's insurance policy

the replacement cost of the home is now $300,000

a. hence,

the proportion of the house insured = $\frac{InsuranceAmount}{PriceOfThe Home} \times 100$ %

$= \frac{160000}{178000}\times 100$

= 89.89%

Percentage amount covered by the policy

= proportion of the house insured = 89.89%

Amount covered by the policy in dollars

= $20,000 × 89.89%

= $17,978

Amount of insurance on the home that cotton should now carry to be fully reimbursed for a fire loss = current value of the home

= $ 300,000

Department G had 2,040 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 12,200 units were completed during the period, 1,700

Margarita [4]

Answer:

18261

Explanation:

The first key-point will be that materials are applied entirely at the begining of the production so this part of the cost is quite easy:

You have an ending inventory of 1,700 units and then you have a given data of $9 per unit for direct materials so mulitply those to get:

ending inventory $15,300 materials cost

Next part will be to calculate the conversion cost.

First step, will be to calculate the conversion cost for the period,

which is direct labor + factory overhead:

78,600 + 26,200 = 104,800

Remember conversion cost = labor + overhead

Second, calculate the equivalent units:

Here we have the data for completed units so we work it like this

Complete units 12200

(this are finished o they count entirely)

+ ending units x percent of completion 1700 x 20% = 340

(this are units we work during this period)

- beginning units x percent of completion (2040) x 5% = (510)

(this are units we don't work on this period,

they are from the previous month,

so we subtract them)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Equivalent units for conversion cost 12030

Third, we are almost there, we will divide this two to get the value of 1 unit of conversion cost

104,800 conversion cost / 12,030 equivalent units = 8.7115 CC per unit

Fourth, calculate the conversion cost for the ending inventory

conversion cost per unit x equivalent units of ending inventory

8.7115 x 340 = 2961

Last Step, we add the materials cost with the conversion cost

15,300 + 2,961 = 18261 VALUE OF ENDING INVENTORY

Toby’s current marginal utility from consuming peanuts is 100 utils per ounce and his marginal utility from consuming cashews is

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a. Toby is not maximizing his utility

b. Toby should reduce his spending on cashew and increase his spending on peanuts.

Explanation:

a. Is Toby maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? If so, explain how you know.

Toby will maximize his utility when we have:

MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc

Where;

MUp/Pp = Marginal utility of peanut divided by price of peanut = 100/10 = 10

MUc/Pc = Marginal utility of cashew divided by price of cash = 200/25 = 8

From the above, Toby is not maximizing his utility. I am able to know this because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8). An Toby will only maximize his utility when MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.

b. If not, how should he rearrange his spending?

Since MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8), Toby should reduce his spending on cashew in order to increase MUc and increase his spending on peanuts reduce MUp until MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.
