Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C = 1.75Q + 4,990

variable 1.75

fixed component 4,990

Explanation:

High-Low method:

we subtract the highest level of activity with the lowest one:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&44,360&82,620\nLow&19,962&39,924\nDifference&24,398&42,696\n\end{array}\right]

24,398 units generates 42,696 cost

with this information we can solve for variable cost.

42,696 / 24,398 = 1.75

Now we calcualte the fixed cost:

TC = variable x Q + fixed cost

82,620 = 1.75 (44,360) + fixed cost

82,620 - 77630 = 4990

the formula will be:

C = 1.75Q + 4,990

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: variable 1.75

fixed component 4,990

Explanation:  subtract the highest level of activity from the lowest one

44,360-19,962=24,398

82,620-39,924=42,696

then do 42,696 / 24,398 = 1.75

Now for fixed cost:

82,620 = 1.75 (44,360)

82,620 - 77630 = 4990

In December 2016, Custom Mfg. established its predetermined overhead rate for jobs produced during 2017 by using the following cost predictions: overhead costs, $680,000, and direct materials costs, $400,000. At year-end 2017, the company’s records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $897,200. Actual direct material cost had been assigned to jobs as follows.Jobs completed and sold $ 420,000 Jobs in finished goods inventory 76,000 Jobs in work in process inventory 53,000 Total actual direct materials cost $ 549,000 Determine the predetermined overhead rate for 2017.

Answers

Answer:

POAR= 170% of the direct material cost.

Explanation:

Explanation:

The predetermined overhead absorption rate (POAR: The overhead absorption is a rate which is used to charge overheads to production units. Note that this rate is computed using estimated figures

The rate is computed as follows:

Predetermined overhead absorption rate

POAR

= (Budgeted overhead for the period/Budgeted direct material cost)× 100

= $680,000/400,00 ×  100

= 170% of the direct material cost.

Determining Financial Statement Effects of Write-Offs and Bad Debt Expense Using the Allowance MethodUsing the following categories, indicate the effects of the following transactions. Indicate the accounts affected and the amounts. (Enter any decreases to Assets, Liabilities, or Stockholders Equity with a minus sign.)

During the period, customer balances are written off in the amount of $10,000.
At the end of the period, bad debt expense is estimated to be $8,000.

Answers

Answer: Please see the analysis below

Explanation: The following are the financial statement effects

                                  Assets Liabilities Stockholders Equity Income Expense

Write-off of $10,000     -           -                   Nil                           Nil         Nil

Bad debt of $8,000     -           +                   -                                -             +

  • Write-off of customer balances of $10,000 would lead to reduction in assets and also reduction in liabilities (since the provision for doubtful accounts reports to liabilities but mapped to the accounts receivable to show the net amount). Here, we have assumed that there is an existing allowance for doubtful accounts that has $10,000 buffer or more. If the write-off was not initially provided for, it would hit expense by debiting bad debt expense and crediting the accounts receivable. Its effects are therefore decrease in asset, decrease in liabilities.
  • Bad debt expense of $8,000 affects the expense and the liabilities/assets. Journal entries to record the bad debt expense is Debit Bad debt expense $8,000; Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $8,000. So, it affects the expense, liabilities and ultimately the assets (allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra to the accounts receivable). Its effects are increase in expense, increase in liabilities, decrease in stockholders equity, decrease in income and decrease in assets

Answer:

Assets =Liabilities +  Stockholders Equity

-8000=                                           - 8000

Explanation:

Allowance for Doubtful  Debts $10,000

Bad debt expense $8,000

Assets =Liabilities +  Stockholders Equity

-8000=                                           - 8000

The write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivable. Neither total assets nor net income is affected by the write off a specific account.Instead both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debts expense is predicted and recorded with an adjusting entry.

What relationship exists between financial institutions and financial markets? g

Answers

Answer:

Access and price relationships

Explanation:

Financial institutions - organizations operating in the financial and credit system. In the interpretation of the Western economic tradition, financial institutions are intermediaries between investors (households) and entrepreneurs (consumers of investments).

Financial markets are mechanisms that enable funds to be transferred from those with excess funds to those with few funds. Financial markets are divided into two as money markets and capital markets in terms of maturity. Money markets are markets where short-term funding supply and demand meet. Here, a short term is a year and a shorter term. Capital markets are the markets where long-term fund supply and demand are encountered. Here, long term is meant for over a year. Financial markets also provide low transaction cost value and prices that reflect the effective-market hypothesis.

We can think of basic relationships. The first concerns about the access. Financial institutions provide access to financial markets on behalf of investors seeking financial assets, such as institutional investors. The second relationship can often be claimed as "price." Financial asset prices (traded in financial markets), research and trading activities in financial assets, the actual cost or price of a particular asset affect the performance of financial institutions that affect the market outlook. For example, if a financial institution holds a significant stake in a particular company, it is a sign of markets (good or bad) and ultimately affects the price that a company is willing to pay for a financial asset. (e.g. stocks, bonds, etc.).
