He asks you to show the before-and-after effects of each option on retained earnings.
Retained earnings after stock dividend
Retained earnings after stock split
Answer:
Retained earnings after stock dividend = $10,146,000
Retained earnings after stock split = $12,900,000
Explanation:
1. Retained earnings after stock dividend amount is: 300,000*17%*54 = $2,754,000. The new balance of retained earnings is = $12,900,000 - $2,754,000 = $10,146,000

Assume that banks hold no excess reserves and that all currency is deposited into the banking system. If the required reserve ratio is 5.00%, and the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $55.00 million, the Fed would need to make an open market purchase of $________ million. (Insert your answer in millions, and round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
2.75 million
Explanation:
Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
Increase in value of money supply as a result of the purchase is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = 1 / reserve requirement
1/0.05 = 20
increase in money supply = amount of open market purchase / reserve requirement
55 / 20 = 2.75 million

Norio Manufacturing uses powdered plastics (PPS) to manufacture a high-pressure board used in a digital equipment product, Flex 10. Information concerning its operation in June is as follows: Budgeted units of Flex 10 for June 5,900 Budgeted usage of PPS 53,100pounds Actual number of units of Flex 10 manufactured 4,900 PPS purchased 57,720pounds PPS used 48,000pounds Total actual cost of PPS used$266,880 Direct materials usage variance$28,860unfavorable Assume that Norio recognizes the material purchase-price variance at the point of purchase. The direct materials purchase-price variance (rounded to the nearest dollar) is:
Answer: $106,205
Explanation:
Direct materials purchase-price variance = PPS pounds purchased * (Standard cost per pound - Actual cost per pound)
Standard cost per pound = Direct materials usage variance / [PPS used - (Actual number of units of Flex produced * (Budgeted usage of PPS / Budgeted units for Flex 10))]
= 28,860/ [48,000 - (4,900 * (53,100 / 5,900))]
= $7.40
Actual cost per pound:
= Total actual cost of PPS used / PPS Used
= 266,880 / 48,000
= $5.56
Direct materials purchase-price variance = 57,720 * (7.40 - 5.56)
= $106,205

August September October November December
Units 14,000 14,500 15,500 12,600 11,900
The company wants to maintain monthly ending inventories of Material K equal to 20% of the following month's production needs. On July 31, tthis requirement was not met since only 2,500 yards of Material K were on hand. The cost o material K is $0.85 per yard. The company wants to prepare a Direct Materials Purchase Budget for the rest of the year. The total cost of Material K to be purchased in August is:________.
a. $40,970
b. $48,200
c. $33,840
d. $42,300
Answer:
$40,970
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of the material K is given below;
Material needed for August sales:
= 14,000 × 3
= 42,000
Desired ending inventory:
= 14,500 × 3 × 20%
= 8,700
Beginning inventory:
= 2,500
Now
Purchases in August:
= (42,000 + 8,700 - 2,500) × $0.85
= $40,970

Calculate Payroll K. Mello Company has three employees-a consultant, a computer programmer, and an administrator. The following payroll information is available for each employee: Consultant Computer Programmer Administrator Regular earnings rate $2,810 per week $36 per hour $46 per hour Overtime earnings rate Not applicable 2 times hourly rate 1.5 times hourly rate Federal income tax withheld $930 $238 $515 For hourly employees, overtime is paid for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week. For the current pay period, the computer programmer worked 55 hours and the administrator worked 65 hours. Assume further that the social security tax rate was 6%, and the Medicare tax rate was 1.5%. Determine the gross pay and the net pay for each of the three employees for the current pay period. Assume the normal working hours in a week are 40 hours. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
1. Consultant's earning
Gross pay $2,810
Net pay $1,669.25
2. Computer Programmer
Gross pay $2,520
Net pay $2,093
3. Administrator Income
Gross pay $3,565
Net pay $2,782.62
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the gross pay and the net pay for each of the three employees for the current pay period
1. Calculation for Consultant Income gross pay and Net pay
Consultant's earning = $2,810
Based on the information given Consultant's GROSS PAY will be $2,810
Calculation to determine the Net pay using this formula
NET PAY = Gross pay - Withheld tax - Medicare tax - social security tax
Let plug in the formula
Where,
Withheld tax = $930
Social security tax = 6% of Total earning
Social security tax= $2,810 * 6%
Social security tax= $168.6
Medicare tax = 1.5% of total earning
Medicare tax= $2,810 * 1.5%
Medicare tax = $42.15
Let plug in the formula
NET PAY = $2,810 - $930 - $42.15 - $168.6
NET PAY= $1,669.25
Therefore Consultant Income gross pay is $2,810 and Net pay is $1,669.25
2. Calculation to determine Computer Programmer gross pay and Net pay
Calculation for GROSS PAY
Rate of earning = $36 per Hour
Working Hours = 55 Hours
Computer programmer Earning = $36 * 55
Computer programmer Earning= $1,980
Overtime hours = 55 - 40
Overtime hours= 15 hours
Overtime earning = 2 times of hourly rate = 15* $36
Overtime earning= $540
GROSS PAY = $1,980+$540
GROSS PAY=$2,520
Calculation to determine the NET PAY
Using this formula
Net Pay = Gross pay - Withheld tax - Medicare tax - Social security tax
Where,
Withheld tax = $238
Social security tax = ($1,980+$540) * 6%
Social security tax= $2,520*6%
Social security tax=$151.2
Medicare tax = 1.5% of total earning
Medicare tax= $2,520 * 1.5%
Medicare tax = $37.8
Let plug in the formula
NET PAY = $2,520 - $238 - $37.8 - $151.2
NET PAY =$2,093
Therefore Computer Programmer Gross pay is $2,520 and the Net pay is $2,093
3. Calculation for Administrator Income Gross pay and Net pay
Calculation for GROSS PAY
Rate of earning = $46 per Hour
Working Hours = 65 Hours
Administrator Earning = $46 * 65
Administrator Earning= $2,990
Overtime hours = 65 - 40
Overtime hours= 25 hours
Overtime earning = 1.5 times of hourly rate = 25 * ($46/2) ( half of the rate is taken)
Overtime earning =25*23
Overtime earning =$575
GROSS PAY = $2,990+$575
GROSS PAY =$3,565
Calculation to determine the NET PAY
Using this formula
Net Pay = Gross pay - Withheld tax - Medicare tax - Social security tax
Where,
Withheld tax = $515
Social security tax = ($2,990+$575) * 6%
Social security tax= $3,565*6%
Social security tax=$213.9
Medicare tax = 1.5% of total earning
Medicare tax = $3,565 * 1.5%
Medicare tax =$53.48
Let plug in the formula
NET PAY = $3,565 - $515 - $53.48 - $213.9
NET PAY= $2,782.62
Therefore Administrator Income is Gross pay $3,565 and the Net pay is $2,782.62
Warshaw Company is preparing the June Budget. The June budget includes the following data: Sales $100,000 Purchases of Merchandise $95,000 Depreciation of office equipment in Accounting Department $2,615 Insurance $11,544 Payroll expenses $5,722 a month plus 2% of sales (for sales and administrative personnel) Administrative office expenses incurred to order purchases are budgeted at 4% of purchases of merchandise only Purchase of equipment $3,537 Research and Development 8% of sales What is total operating expense for June? (hint: not everything listed is an operating expense)
Answer:
$33,681
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Operating Expense for June = Depreciation+ Insurance+Payroll expense+ Admin Expenses +Research and Development expense
Where, Depreciation = $2,615
Insurance expense = $11,544
Payroll expense = $5,722 + ( 2% × $100,000) = $7,722
Admin expense = 4% × $95,000 = $3,800
Research and Development expense = 8% × $100,000 = $8,000
So, Operating Expense for June = $2,615 + $11,544 + $7,722 + $3,800 + $8,000
= $33,681
A company is preparing its cash budget for the coming month. All sales are on account.

Answer:
$56,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will calculate first the total cash flow.
Total cash flow = Opening cash receivable + Sales - Ending cash receivables
= $196,000 + $880,000 - $226,000
= $850,000
Ending cash balance = Opening cash balance + Total cash flow - Cash disbursement
= $146,000 + $850,000 - $940,000
= $56,000

Kirby subscribed to purchase 100 shares of stock to be issued by Globule, Inc., an already existing corporation. Globule accepted the subscription. The price set forth in the subscription agreement was $10 per share. The par value of the stock was $8 per share. When the time came for Kirby to pay the amount of his subscription, Kirby paid only $6 per share, claiming that such amount represented the fair value of the shares. Globule delivered the stock certificates to Kirby, but demanded the other $4 per share. Is Kirby liable for the other $4 per share
Answer: C. No, but he is liable for another $2 per share.
Explanation:
A stock is not to be issued below its par value as this is the lowest price that it is to be issued at. If a par value is $4 for instance, the stock cannot be issued for anything less than this $4.
In this scenario, the par value is $8 per share which means that Globule Inc. cannot issue this share for less than $8. Kirby in paying only $6, is still liable for $2 so that he can at least pay for the stock at its par value.

Answer:
$713,605
Explanation:
If Actual Overheads > Applied Overhead we say, Overheads have been underapplied and the amount of underapplied overheads is added to the balance in stock and cost of sales.
and
If Applied Overheads > Actual Overhead we say, Overheads have been overapplied and the amount of overapplied overheads is deducted from the balance in stock and cost of sales.
Where :
Actual overhead is $201,600 and Applied overhead is $210,000, the amount of overapplied overhead is $8,400 ($210,000 - $201,600).
The overapplied overheads is allocated to ending balances of Finished Goods, Work In Process and Cost of Sales only and except Direct Materials
Total % Allocation
Work-in-process $28,000 3.41 $286
Finished goods $70,000 8.55 $718
Cost of goods $721,000 88.03 $7,395
Total $819,000 100.00 $8,400
Therefore,
Cost of goods sold = $721,000 - $7,395 = $713,605

there is a financial advantage of $3,000 increase
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company is shown below;
Particulars Making Purchasing
Variable cost $15 $0
Add; fixed cost $12 $4
($12 × 2 ÷ 3)
Add: purchasing cost $0 $20
Total cost per unit $27 $24
Total cost for 1000 units $27,000 $24,0000
SO here we can see that there is a financial advantage of $3,000 increase
= $27,000 - $24,00
= $3,000

5. You are the manager of Telecall Inc., a small telemarketing company. Your company pays $10,000 per month for office space. A real estate agent has noticed that you are only using 75 percent of your available space and tells you that Telecall could add $800 per month to its bottom line by renting out the space it does not use. Telecall has been asked to do a new telemarketing campaign for a large credit card company, but this would require it to use the remaining office space. What is the opportunity cost of using the extra office space to handle the credit card company's promotion?
Answer: $800
Explanation:
Even though your company is using only 75% of the space which means that the company is in effect only using 75% of the rental cost of $10,000, the remaining 25% will not count as opportunity cost because the rent of $10,000 is a fixed cost that is paid on ALL the space and so cannot be separated into costs per space.
The relevant opportunity cost is therefore the amount that the company can get if it decides to sub-let this excess space for $800 because this amount is an extra benefit to be lost if the opportunity is not taken.
