During September, manufacturing costs charged to the department were:Materials $690,000; Conversion costs $765,000.The cost assigned to the units transferred to finished goods during September was

Answers

Answer:

135,000 transferred out under Weighted average method

Explanation:

W/A method:

equivalent units materials 10,000 + 2,000 = 12,000 units at 100%

material cost: 690,000  + 30,000 = 720,000

720,000 / 12,000 = 60

equivalent units conversion 10,000 + 500 = 10,500

conversion cost 22,500 + 765,000 = 787,500

787,500 / 10,500 = 75

75 + 60 = 135 cost per unit

10,000 x 135 = 135,000 transferred out

The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,960 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $640 and $440 for materials, and charges of $540 and $740 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:

Answers

Answer: 125%

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead = Predetermined overhead rate * Direct labor

Manufacturing Overhead

= Work in process balance - Direct labor - Direct materials

= 3,960 - 640 - 440 - 540 - 740

= $1,600

The rationale behind the above is that that the Work in process account is made up of Direct labor, material and overhead. The Overhead would therefore be the balance less the Direct material and labor.

Direct Labor = 540 + 740

= $1,280

Manufacturing overhead = Predetermined overhead rate * Direct labor

1,600 =  Predetermined overhead rate * 1,280

Predetermined overhead rate = 1,600/1,280

= 1.25

= 125%

On June 1, 2014, Siebens Enterprises loaned $27,000 to Tyler Company for one year at 8 percent interest. Under the terms of the promissory note, Tyler will repay the principal and pay one year's interest on May 31, 2015. Related to this note receivable, what amount of interest income would Siebens report on its 2014 income statement? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answers

Answer:

$1,260

Explanation:

The computation of amount of interest income is shown below:-

Principal                                    $27,000

Rate of interest                          8%

Interest for 7 month in 2014     $1,260

($27,000 × 8% × 7 ÷ 12)

Interest for 5 months in 2015   $900

( $27,000 × 8% × 5 ÷ 12)

12 months from 1 June 2014  

to 31 may 2015                            12 months

Interest                                         $2,160

($27,000 × 8%)

T will repay the principal and one year interest  

on may 31, 2015

($20,000 + $2,160)                        $22,160

So, Interest income to be reported on its 2014 income statement is $1,260

You are considering acquiring a common stock that you would like to hold for one year. You expect to receive both $2.50 in dividends and $28 from the sale of the stock at the end of the year. The maximum price you would pay for the stock today is ________ if you wanted to earn a 15% return. Group of answer choices $24.11 $27.50 $23.91 $26.52 None of the options are correct.

Answers

Answer:

$26.52

Explanation:

The computation of the maximum price for paying for the stock today is shown below:

As we know that

Required rate of return = (Sale of the stock - maximum price + dividend received) ÷ (maximum price)

0.15 = ($28 - maximum price + $2.50) ÷ (maximum price)

0.15 × maximum price = $28 - maximum price + $2.50

So, the maximum price is  $26.52

We simply applied the above formula
