Overhead cost $1,333,200 $1,307,200
Machine hours 56,300 49,000
Direct labor hours 101,000 97,800
Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
Answer:
$23.68 per machine hour
Explanation:
Given the above information, the predetermined overhead rate is computed as
= Budgeted overhead cost / Estimated number of machine hours
Budgeted overhead cost = $1,333,200
Estimated number of machine hours = 56,300
Therefore,
Predetermined overhead rate
= $1,333,200 / 56,300

Consider a call option on an asset with an exercise price of $100, a put option on that same asset with an exercise price of $100, both expiring at the same time. Assume that at the expiration, the current market price of the asset is each of the following two values. Explain what happens from the perspective of the long position for each of the two options.
Answer: The values are missing below are the values
a. $105
b. $95
answer :
a) $5
b) -$5 ( loss )
Explanation:
From the perspective of the long position for each of the two options upon expiration
a) For $105
for the long position ( long call ) since the expired price > than the exercise price
i.e. $105 > $100 the profit = $105 - $100 = $5
b) For $95
For the long position ( long call ) since the expired price < than the exercise price
i.e. $95 < $100 the profit = $95 - $100 = - $5 ( a loss is incurred )

Brady owns a second home that he rents to others. During the year, he used the second home for 50 days for personal use and for 100 days for rental use. Brady collected $20,000 of rental receipts during the year. Brady allocated $7,000 of interest expense and property taxes, $10,000 of other expenses, and $4,000 of depreciation expense to the rental use. What is Brady's net income from the property and what type and amount of expenses will he carry forward to next year, if any
Answer: $0
Explanation:
In order for a residence to be classified as a personal residence, one has to have stayed there for more than 10% of the time the property was rented out in one year.
50 days is greater than 10% of 100 days so this is classified as a residential property.
Deductions can therefore be made on rental expenses but only up until the the the amount of the rental income:
= Rental income - Interest expense - Other expenses - Depreciation
= 20,000 - 7,000 - 10,000 - 4,000
= -$1,000
Rental income will therefore be $0.
The $1,000 loss will be carried forward from Depreciation.
Break-Even Point Sheridan Inc. sells a product for $66 per unit. The variable cost is $30 per unit, while fixed costs are $326,592. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $72 per unit. a. Break-even point in sales units fill in the blank 1 units b. Break-even point if the selling price were increased to $72 per unit fill in the blank 2 units
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 9072 units
b.
Break even in units = 7776 units
Explanation:
a.
The break even point is a point where total revenue equals total cost. The break even point in sales units can be calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed Cost / (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)
Break even in units = 326592 / (66 - 30)
Break even in units = 9072 units
b.
If the selling price increases, the new break even point will be,
Break even in units = 326592 / (72 - 30)
Break even in units = 7776 units
Rauch Incorporated leases a piece of equipment to Donahue Corporation on January 1, 2017. The lease agreement called for annual rental payments of $4,892 at the beginning of each year of the 4-year lease. The equipment has an economic useful life of 6 years, a fair value of $25,000, a book value of $20,000, and both parties expect a residual value of $8,250 at the end of the lease term, though this amount is not guaran- teed. Rauch set the lease payments with the intent of earning a 5% return, and Donahue is aware of this rate. There is no bargain purchase option, ownership of the lease does not transfer at the end of the lease term, and the asset is not of a specialized nature.
Instructions:
(a) Explain (and show calculations) how Rauch arrived at the amount of the rental payments used in the lease agreement.
(b) Prepare the entries for Rauch for 2017.
(c) Suppose that instead of $8,250, Rauch expects the residual value at the end of the lease to be $5,000, but Donahue agrees to guarantee a residual value of $8,250. All other facts being equal, how would Rauch change the amount of the annual rental payments, if at all?
(d) Explain how a fully guaranteed residual value by Donahue would change the accounting for Rauch, the lessor.
(e) Explain how a bargain renewal option for one extra year at the end of the lease term would change the accounting of the lease for Rauch, the lessor.

The following transactions occurred during April 2021 at the Kanthere, a retailer selling headphones. For the selected transactions below, show the amount and impact (increase or decrease) on the accounting equation below. If a transaction impacts the income statement, indicate in the description column the specific income statement line item.
Transaction
1 Purchased a delivery truck for $90,000 that will be used for 4 years. The truck doesn’t have a salvage value.
2 Sold a $100 gift card to a customer for cash.
3 Paid rent for the month of $10,000.
4 Purchased 20 headphones at $30 each on account. Payment is due in 45 days.
5 Sold 4 headphones for $70 each on account.
Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = -$6,500
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for recording of the impact (increase or decrease) of April 2021 transactions on the accounting equation.
From the attached excel file, we can obtain the following:
Assets = Total assets = -$99,900 + $90,000 + $600 + $2,800 = -$6,500
Liabilities = Total liabilities = $600
Stockholders’ Equity = Total Stockholders’ Equity = -$7,100
Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = $600 - $7,100 = -$6,500
Therefore, the accounting equation holds as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = -$6,500
On January 1, 2021, Cori Ander Herbs granted restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 300,000 of its $1 par common shares to executives, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years. After the recipients of the RSUs satisfy the vesting requirement, the company will distribute the shares. The common shares had a market price of $14 per share on the grant date. At the date of grant, the company anticipated that 4% of the recipients would leave the firm prior to vesting. In 2022, 3% of the options are forfeited due to executive turnover. The company chooses the option not to estimate forfeitures. What amount should the company record as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022
Answer: $1,288,000
Explanation:
The amount should the company record as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be calculated thus
Number of RSUs = 300,000
Market price of shares = $14
Term of RSUs = 3 years
The compensation expense for year 1 which is 2021 will be:
= [(300,000 × $14) × 1 / 3] - $0
= $1,400,000
The compensation expense for year 2 which is 2022 will be:
= [(288,000 × $14) * 2 / 3] - $1,400,000
= $2,688,000 - $1,400,000
= $1,288,000
Therefore, the amount should the company record as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be $1,288,000
Note that the number of RSUs in 2022 was calculated as:
= 300,000 × (100% - 4%)
= 300,000 × 96%
= 288,000
Western Electric has 32,500 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $80 and a rate of return of 12.95 percent. The firm has 7,350 shares of 7.90 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $95.50 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $407,000 and currently sells for 111.5 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.11 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 40 percent
Answer:
c. 11.10%
Explanation:
Options are "a. 10.29% b. 10.51% c. 11.10% d. 10.72% e. 11.49%"
Market Value of Equity = $80 * 32,500
Market Value of Equity = $2,600,000
Market Value of Preferred Stock = $95.50 * 7350
Market Value of Preferred Stock = $701,925
Market Value of Debt = $407,000 * 1.115
Market Value of Debt = $453,805
Total Market Value = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Preferred Stock + Market Value of Debt
Total Market Value = $2,600,000 + $701,925 + $453,805
Total Market Value = $3,755,730
kP = Annual Dividend / Current Market Price
kP = $7.90 / $95.50
kP = 0.082723
kP = 8.27%
WACC = [wD * kD * (1 - t)] + [wP * kP] + [wE * kE]
WACC = [(453,805/3,755,730) * 8.11% * (1 - 0.40)] + [(701,925/3,755,730) * 8.27%] + [(2,600,000/3,755,730) * 12.95%]
WACC = 0.59% + 1.55% + 8.96%
WACC = 11.10%

You have been working as a security analyst in the information security department at Aim Higher College for two months. Your manager asks you to propose a set of controls that will allow the use of the research datacenter for its intended purpose while protecting the business systems that reside there. What controls would you suggest, and why
Answer: Hello some parts of your question is missing below is the missing part
Aim Higher College has two primary datacenters on campus—the research datacenter and the business datacenter. Due to budget and space limitations, the research datacenter is also used to house the backup systems for the business datacenter, resulting in business data being stored in both locations.
The research datacenter, shown in the diagram below, is typically left unlocked, as many students and faculty members use it for their work. The network infrastructure is not monitored, and the systems themselves are not required to be secured.
Recently, signs of after-hours access have been found in the research datacenter. Doors have been left open, lights have been on, and logins have been found on research systems. Logs indicate that local logins have been attempted on the business system consoles as well.
answer :
i) physical protection
ii) Continuous password review
Explanation:
The controls that I would suggest are
i) Physical protection : There should be an increased presence of physical security in and around the premises of the Datacenter in order to reduce un-authorized access
ii) continuous review/change of passwords to limit/avoid signs during after- hours and also prevent Local logins as well.

has Government intervention harmed or supported businesses more during the shelter-in-place?
Answer:
During the shelter-in-place, governments took various economic and financial measures aimed at improving the situation of people and companies that were unable to carry out their activities as a result of the global health situation. Thus, economic aid bonds were issued, taxes were reduced, fiscal benefits and payment facilities were generated, and the development of minimum levels of activity was allowed to facilitate the subsistence of the entities of the private economy. Therefore, government action supported businesses, which would otherwise have gone bankrupt as a result of the pandemic.

what is a sole parternership?
A sole partnership is a type of business structure in which a single individual owns and operates a business. The sole proprietor is personally responsible for all aspects of the business, including making decisions, managing operations, and assuming liability for any debts or legal issues that may arise.
In a sole partnership, the owner has complete control over the business and makes all the decisions. There is no legal separation between the owner and the business, so the owner is personally liable for any debts or legal issues that may arise. This means that the owner's personal assets, such as a home or savings, are at risk if the business is sued or incurs debts that it cannot pay.
Sole partnerships are relatively easy to set up and operate, as they do not require any formal registration or compliance with complex legal requirements. However, they may not be the best choice for businesses that are seeking to raise capital or that are at risk for significant liability.

A company's total expected overhead for the year is $500,000. Two activity cost pools have been identified: Customer Service with a total cost of $200,000 and a total activity of 25,000 customer service calls; and Product Development with a total cost of $300,000 and total activity of 20,000 development hours. Using activity-based costing, calculate the appropriate activity rate
Answer:
Customer Service= $8 per call
Product Development= $15 per develop hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Customer Service with a total cost of $200,000 and a total activity of 25,000 customer service calls.
Product Development with a total cost of $300,000 and a total activity of 20,000 development hours.
To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
