Answer:
$20,790,000
Explanation:
Since the estimated total costs to complete had not change, the Construction is Process can be estimated as follows:
Construction in Process = Estimated total completion cost - Total costs of completion to date = $38,500,000 - $17,710,000 = $20,790,000
Machine maintenance ($330,000) machine hours 250 750 1,000
Setups ($630,000) setups 35 20 15
Packing ($166,000) cartons 10 30 60
Photo development ($574,000) pictures 4,400 2,400 1,400
Deluxe textbooks are made with the finest quality paper, six-color printing, and many photographs. Moderate texts are made with three colors and a few photographs spread throughout each chapter. Economy books are printed in black and white and include pictures only in chapter openings.
Required:
Sheridan currently allocates all overhead costs based on machine hours. The company produced the following number of books during the prior year:
Deluxe Moderate Economy
50,000 150,000 200,000
Determine the overhead cost per book for each book type.
Answer:
Deluxe= $4.25 per book
Moderate= $4.25 per book
Economy= $4.25 per book
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity (Cost) Cost Driver Delux Moderate Economy
Machine maintenance ($330,000) machine hours 250 750 1,000
Setups ($630,000)
Packing ($166,000)
Photo development ($574,000)
First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost:
Total overhead= 330,000 + 630,000 + 166,000 + 574,000= 1,700,000
Now, we can calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate to allocate overhead to each book type.
The allocation base is machine-hours.
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,700,000/ 2,000= $850 per machine hour.
Now, we can allocate overhead to each book:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Deluxe= $850*250hours= $212,500
Moderate= $850*750hours= $637,500
Economy= $850*1,000= $850,000
Based on the number of units, we can calculate the unitary overhead:
Deluxe= $212,500/50,000= $4.25 per book
Moderate= $637,500/150,000= $4.25 per book
Economy= $850,000/200,000= $4.25 per book
To determine the overhead cost per book for each type, we first establish the cost per unit/activity (machine hour, setup, carton, picture). Then, we multiply each activity cost by the respective number of activities for each book type. Finally, we divide the total overhead cost by the number of books produced. This method is known as Activity-Based Costing.
To determine the overhead cost per book for each book type, Activity-Based Costing (ABC) is used. This cost allocation method assigns overhead costs to each activity (or task) involved in the production process and then allocates these costs to the various products based on the volume of each activity they require.
Step 1: Calculate the cost per driver for each activity.
Step 2: Calculate the total overhead cost for each book type by multiplying the cost per driver by the number of drivers for each activity.
Step 3: To find the overhead cost per book, divide the total overhead cost by the number of books produced.
From this exercise, it is clear that different products consume overhead resources differently and thus can have different per-unit overhead costs when you move from the traditional cost system to the Activity Based Costing method.

Answer: a. in the short run but not in the long run
Explanation:
The Short Run is usually considered in Economics/ Business as a point in time where at least ONE factor of production is FIXED. This factor is usually the Factory because it is hard to change the capacity of a Factory in the Short run. For instance a wing might need to be constructed. Labour on the other hand is considered variable in the Short run though because more people can be hired and the people already hired can put in more overtime.
The Long Run is classified as a point where EVERY factor of production is Variable. There is enough time to even change the capacity of a Factory. So here even Factory is Variable.
Answer:
it cannot be used to settle debts
Explanation:
The assets are said to be liquid when it is convertible into cash and the liquid asset we called as a current asset. The liquidity of an asset is important to pay off the short term debt or obligations arise.
It can be in terms of account payable, inventory, prepaid insurance, etc
The asset that said to be illiquid when it is not be used for settling the debts
Hence, the first option is correct
B) Ellen is correct only if the state is making efforts to put social programs into effect and is not acting unreasonably in refusing to provide needed services.
C) Ellen is partially correct in that Congress has no authority to link highway funds with social services,but any other funds may be linked to social services by executive order.
D) Ellen is partially correct in that Congress has no authority to link highway funds with social services,but other funds may be linked to social services by an act of Congress.
E) Ellen is incorrect.
Answer: E. Ellen is incorrect.
Explanation:
From the information provided, we can deduce that Bill is incorrect. This is because the statement made by Bill that "Congress lacks the authority to tax in this manner because the U.S.Constitution expressly reserves that right to the states" is incorrect. It should be noted that the constitution of the United States contains no such reservation.
Also, Ellen is incorrect. This is because the Congress has the authority to link highway funds or any other funds with social welfare objectives.

a. Winfrey Towing Service
Statement of retained earnings
Month ended, June 30 2018
Retained earnings June 1, 2018 $3,900

Retained earnings June 30, 2018 $8,250
b. Statement of retained earnings report is the change in retained earnings of a firm or business unit during a given period of time.
Explanation:
I disagree with this argument, it can be said that the secondary market is equally or more important than the primary market, due to the fact that it is the secondary markets that determine what will be the prices that the companies that issue bonds will sell in the primary market.
Secondary markets can also be considered to be responsible for making securities easier to sell in the primary market due to their greater liquidity.
