The County legislature approved its 2020 budget. Revenues from property taxes are estimated to be $800,000. The assessed value of all the property in the county is $40 million. The County has received certificates for property tax exemption of consisting of $3 million for homestead exemptions, $1.3 million for veterans, $700,000 for old age, and $5 million for nonprofits. In addition, the County believes all property taxes will be collectible. What property tax rate per $1,000 of net assessed value must the County charge to collect sufficient property taxes to meet its $800,000 estimate

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The property tax rate is $26.67

Explanation:

In this question, first, we have to compute the net assessed value which is shown below:

= Property value - property tax exemption - homestead exemption - veterans - old age - non profits

= $40,000,000 - $3,000,000 - $1,300,000 - $700,000 - $5,000,000

= $30,000,000

Now the property tax equals to

=  (estimated property taxes) ÷ (Net assessed value) × 1000

= ($800,000 ÷ $30,000,000) × 1000

= $26.67

For a manufacturing company that you are consulting for, managers are unsure about making inventory decisions associated with a key engine component. The annual demand is estimated to be 15,000 units and is assumed to be constant throughout the year. Each unit costs $80. The companys accounting department estimates that its opportunity cost for holding this item in stock for one year is 18% of the unit value. Each order placed with the supplier costs $220. The companys policy is to place a fixed order for Q units whenever the inventory reaches a predetermined reorder point that provides sufficient stock to meet demand until the suppliers order can be shipped and received. As a consultant, your task is to develop and implement a decision model to help them arrive at the best decision. As a guide, consider the following:1. Define the data, uncontrollable inputs, and decision variables that influence total inventory cost.2. Develop mathematical functions that compute the annual ordering cost and annual holding cost based on average inventory held throughout the year in order to arrive at a model for total cost.3. Implement your model on a spreadsheet.4. Use data tables to find an approximate order quantity that results in the smallest total cost.5. Use Solver to verify your result.6.

Boat Guard, which used a standard cost accounting system, manufactured 210,000 boat fenders during the year, using 1,780,000 feet of extruded vinyl purchased at $1.30 per foot. Production required 4,900 direct labor hours that cost $13.00 per hour. The materials standard was 8 feet of vinyl per fender at a standard cost of $1.40 per foot. The labor standard was 0.024 direct labor hour per fender at a standard cost of $12.00 per hour.1. Compute the price and quantity variances for direct materials. Compute the rate and efficiency variances for direct labor.

2. Does the pattern of variances suggest that the company’s managers have been making trade-offs? Explain.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

1. Direct Material Price is

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)

= 1,780,000 × ($1.40 - $1.30)

= 1,780,000 × 0.10

= $178,000 Favorable

Direct Material Quantity Variance is

= Standard Rate × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $1.40 × [(210,000 × 8) - 1,780,000]

= $1.40 × (1,680,000 - 1,780,000)

= $1.40 × -100,000

= -$140,000 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Rate Variance is

= Actual Hour × (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)

= 4,900 hours × ($12 - $13)

= -4,900 hours × $1

= -$4,900 Unfavorable

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance is

= Standard Rate × (Standard Hours - Actual Hours)

= $12 × [(210,000 × 0.024) - 4,900]

=  $12 × [5,040 - 4,900]

= $12 × 140 hour

= $1,680 Favorable

2. As we can see that the material price variance and labor efficiency variance comes in favorable while on the other side, the material quantity variance and labor rate variance comes in unfavorable.

And we assume that the managers are purchasing the materials efficiently at lesser rates and the usage is not efficient.

Consequently , labor is efficient if the company paid at higher rate.

Therefore the managers are making trade offs.

Moreover, they are compromising of labor rate so that there would be rise  in efficiency.

And at the same time if cheaper material is buyed so the quality is compromised and the changes of wastage is high that reflects the  material quantity variance unfavorable

A state government reported a $9,000 increase in net position in the motor pool internal service fund, a $12,000 increase in net position in the water enterprise fund, and a $7,000 increase in the employee pension fund. The motor pool internal service fund provides service primarily to the police department. What amount should the city report as the change in net position for business-type activities in its statement of activities?

Answers

Answer: $12,000

Explanation:

Only the $12,000 will be reported in Statement of Activities ( the financial statement used to report revenues and expenses for governmental and business-type activities) as a change in net position for business-type activities.

Why?

The Water Entreprise Fund is the only listed fund type listed that would fall under BUSINESS TYPE because it is an ENTREPRISE Fund. The Motor Pool Internal Service falls under GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES and the Pension Find is only displayed in the Fund Financial Statements.

Because the Water Entreprise Fund is the only fund here concerned with BUSINESS TYPE activities, it's rise by $12,000 is what will be reported as the Net Change.

You have 24 cups of milk.You need 1.25 cups to make one serving of deep-fried chicken.
How many servings can you make? Whole servings only - round down
rather than using partial servings.
Answer:
to make a servings of roast beef gravy.

Answers

Answer:

19.2 serving

Explanation:

Because if you have 24 cups of milk and need 1.25 cups to make 1 serving we would have to divide.

24 cups of milk - 1.25 cups of milk per serving = 19.2

Which of the following is not an assumption economists make when using the model of perfect competition? Group of answer choices There is easy entry and exit. Each firm sets it price equal to its average total cost. The products of each firm in a particular market are identical. Firms seek to maximize profits.

Answers

Answer:

Each firm sets it price equal to its average total cost.

Explanation:

In economic theory, perfect competition is a market with a large number of sellers and buyers, producing similar products and having a small market share that does not affect prices. Let's explain the characteristics of the perfect competition :

1) manufacturers of identical products. . .

Products in the perfect competitive market are completely substitute. In other words, products and services offered by vendors do not differ from one another in terms of quality or character.. . .  

2) the firm has a small market share that will not affect prices. . .

No vendor in this market has the ability to influence prices by increasing or decreasing production. Also, no buyer can reduce the supply of goods and lead to lower prices

3)Market where there are many buyers and sellers. . .

The above feature is directly related to this. Thus, if there is a seller or buyer in the market (such as monopoly or monopsony), it can easily affect the market price. However, in perfect competition, every seller and buyer must act based on market prices.

4)There is no obstacle to entering and leaving the market. . .

That is, access to the market is extremely easy and at the same time neither the state nor the old market participants have a barrier for the new participant.

5)Perfect information. . .

Every market participant knows the prices, quality and production methods.  

6) Zero transaction costs...

Buyers and sellers do not bear any transaction costs (contract costs, etc.) during the purchase of goods and services. . .

7) Maximizing profits. . .

In a highly competitive market, the main purpose of firms is to maximize their profits, without any serious obstacles. In a fully competitive market, maximum profits are earned when marginal costs are equal to marginal revenue.

As you see there is information above about the easy entry and exit, the identical products and maximizing profits but nothing about the equal prices to average costs.

Byrd Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Byrd uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 120,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $1,080,000 comprised of $420,000 of variable costs and $660,000 of fixed costs. Byrd applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. During the current year, Byrd produced 74,000 putters, worked 98,300 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $133,200 and fixed overhead costs of $612,000.

Required:
a. Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate.
b. Compute the applied overhead for Byrd for the year.
c. Compute the total overhead variance.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard= 1 direct labor hour per unit

The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $1,080,000 comprised of $420,000 of variable costs and $660,000 of fixed costs.

During the current year, Byrd produced 74,000 putters, worked 98,300 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $133,200 and fixed overhead costs of $612,000.

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (420,000 + 660,000)/120,000

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $9 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 9*98,300= $884,700

Finally, the total overhead variance:

Overhead variance= real overhead - allocated overhead

Overhead variance= 745,200 - 884,700

Overhead variance= 139,500 favorable

Answers

Answer:

a. What accounting action should Aquarium take in this situation?

the balance of inventory account should decrease to match the replacement cost.

b. Give any journal entry required.

Dr Cost of goods sold 75,000

    Cr Inventory 75,000

c. At what amount should Aquarium report Inventory on the balance? sheet?

Inventory = $200,000 - $75,000 = $125,000

d. At what amount should the company report Cost of Goods Sold on the income statement?

Cost of goods sold = $820,000 + $75,000 = $895,000

e. Discuss the accounting principle or concept that is most relevant to this situation.

US GAAP states that companies must use the lower of cost or market rule, which means that inventory must be recognized at the lowest cost either original purchase cost or market value.
