Q

Job order costing

A

The requirement is to calculate the amount of direct materials charged to Job No. 101. To calculate the direct materials, you must first calculate the total costs charged to Job No. 101. Since it is the only job in process at the end of the month, its cost is equal to the amount of cost left in work in process (WIP) at year-end, or $9,000 ($12,000 beginning WIP + $40,000 direct materials + $30,000 direct labor + $27,000 overhead applied – $100,000 transferred out). If the amount of overhead applied to the job is $2,250 and overhead is applied at a rate of 90% of direct labor, direct labor charged to the job should be $2,500 ($2,250 ÷ 90%). Therefore, the direct materials charged to Job No. 101 must be $4,250 ($9,000 – $2,250 – $2,500).

129
Q

130
Q

basic approach used to capitalize earnings

A

Annual earnings/Required rate of return.

131
Q

Risk-free rate.

A

identifies the rate of return required by investors to compensate them for deferring current consumption when making an investment

132
Q

Payback period with depreciation

A

Since the payback period is given, that period multiplied by the annual net cash inflow will result the cost of the new machine. The annual revenue is $35,000 and the annual cash expenses are $3,000, which is determined as the total operating expenses less the amount of depreciation expense included (since it is a non-cash expense). Thus, the annual net cash flow is $35,000 - $3,000 = $32,000 x 5.2 = $166,400, the correct answer.

133
Q

Accounting rate of return approach.

A

methods of evaluating potential capital projects would take into account depreciation expense that was non-deductible for tax purposes

134
Q

Average Accounting rate of return

A

The (average) accounting rate of return is determined by dividing the average annual after-tax net income by the average cost of the investment. The after-tax income would be $7,200 x .70 = $5,040. The average cost of the investment would be beginning book value ($66,000) + ending book value of ($16,000), or $82,000/2 = $41,000. Therefore, the accounting rate of return is: $5,040/$41,000 = 12.29%.

135
Q

Cost of issuing preferred stocks

A

The current cost of capital for newly issued preferred stock is computed as the net proceeds per share divided into the annual cost (dividends) of the newly issued shares. In this question, the net proceeds per share is given as $40 sales price less $5 per share issue cost, or $35 per share net proceeds. The annual cost of the newly issued shares is the par value, $20, multiplied by the preferred dividend rate, 9%, or $20 x .09 = $1.80 annual dividend per share. Therefore, the cost of capital for the newly issued preferred stock is $1.80/$35.00 = 5.1%.

Q

is the dollar amount of net benefit or cost that Moe would obtain if the proposed 2% discount plan is implemented?

A

The benefits obtained would be the reduction in working capital required for carrying average accounts receivable of $30,000 multiplied by the opportunity cost of .15 = $4,500. The cost of the plan would be the reduced cash collected on accounts receivable of .02 times the 40% expected to take advantage of the discount (.02 x .40 = .008) times the credit sales, or .008 x $1,000,000 = $8,000. So, the net results would be an increase in cost of $4,500 - $8,000 = - $3,500. Although not clearly stated in the problem “facts,” the decrease is intended to be average accounts receivable.
