Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Total hours for job A - 500
= Direct labor ÷direct labor wage rate
= $150 ÷ $15
= 10
Total over head cost = overhead cost per labor hours × no. of labor hours
= $20 × 10
= $200
total manufacturing cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Total over head cost
= $280 + $150 + $200
= $630
2.
Cost assigned to each unit
= total manufacturing cost ÷ number of units
= $630 ÷ 70
= $9
Answer:
$12,750 and $1,250
Explanation:
The computation of the dividend paid is shown below:
For 2021, the preference dividend is
= 1700 shares × $50 × 5%
= $4,250
Since in 2019 and 2020 the dividend is not paid
So, For 2019 and for 2020, the preference dividend is
= $4,250 × 2 years
= $8,500
So total preference dividend is
= $4,250 + $8,500
= $12,750
And, the total dividend paid is $14,000
So, for the common stockholder, it is
= $14,000 - $12,750
= $1,250
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
a. Bad Debt Expense Dr, $36,800 ($40,000 – $3,200)
To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $36,800
(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it reduced the assets so the allowance for doubtful accounts is credited
b. Bad Debt Expense Dr, $40,730 ($40,000 + $730)
To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $40,730
For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it reduced the assets so the allowance for doubtful accounts is credited

Answer:
Now the calculation of this question and its solution is shown on the second and third uploaded image
Explanation:
For this question we will be making use of the excel formula
Now note since the installment is paid at the beginning of each quarter, there will be no interest charged in the first quarter and the whole amount paid will be adjusted against the outstanding lease balance.
Answer:
Recommendation : The firm should lease the data center
Explanation:
To determine which option is better, we would compare the upfront cost of option A to the present value of the lease payment.
The present value of the lease payment is given as follows:
PV = A× 1-1+r^(-n) /r
A- semi-annual lease payment - 3,500× 6 = 21,000
r- semi-annual interest rate = 5%/2 = 2.5%
n- number of period = 3× 2 = 6.(note that interest is compounded semi- annually i.e every six month)
PV of the lease payment = 21,000 × (1 - 1.025^(-6))/0.025 =115,670.63.
Comparing the two options, we have :
Purchase cost = 120,000
Lease cost = 115,670.63.
The lease cost is lower and would save the firm 4329.37 i.e (120,000 - 115,670.63)
Recommendation : The firm should lease the data center
When comparing the cost of purchasing a data center outright versus leasing it on a monthly basis over three years, it is slightly more cost effective, factoring in the present value of money, for the firm to lease the data center. The total present value cost of leasing is approximately $119,199.09, while purchasing would be $120,000.
The subject matter of this question involves determining the least expensive option for accessing a data center over a span of three years, given two possibilities: purchasing the center outright (Plan A), or leasing it on a monthly basis (Plan B). It's a form of capital budgeting, specifically a cost comparison method.
For Plan A, the upfront cost is $120,000. This cost is incurred immediately and there are no further costs associated with it for the three-year period.
Plan B needs to be evaluated using the time value of money because the monthly lease payments are made over time. Given the borrowing cost/APR of 5% and the semiannual compounding, it means the interest is compounded twice a year. The monthly cost of leasing the data center is $3,500. Over three years (36 months), this would amount to $3,500 x 36 = $126,000.
However, since we need to factor in the cost of borrowing, we need to calculate the present value (PV) of the lease payments. Because the interest is compounded semiannually, the effective monthly interest rate is (1+0.05/2)^(2/12)-1
= 0.00407412378303.
Using this to calculate the present value of an ordinary annuity formula:
P V = $3,500 x (1-(1+0.00407412378303)^-36)/0.00407412378303.
P V under Plan B is approximately $119,199.09.
Comparing the two plans, it's evident that Plan B (leasing) is the cheaper option by just under $1,000. Therefore, it would be more cost-effective for the firm to lease the data center rather than purchasing it outright.

Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "She enhanced her brand image".
Explanation:
So that the above is the right answer.
Answer:
a. Assuming an investor prefers the extra $0.50 per year, then he/she can invest the $5 received as special dividend and earn $0.50 himself/herself in the same or similar risk free investment.
b. If the investor needed or wanted the $5 instead of $0.50 extra per year, he/she can borrow the $5 and use the extra $0.50 per year to pay the interests on the loan.
