Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. During November, the first process transferred 715,000 units of product to the second process. Additional information for the first process follows. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 201,000 units that are 90% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $416,780 of direct materials and $201,578 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $2,789,220, and the conversion cost added is $3,829,972. Beginning work in process consisted of 80,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 80,000 were from beginning work in process and 635,000 units were started and completed during the period.
Required:
Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.
Answer:
Equivalent units : Direct materials = 916,000 units and Conversion = 895,900 units
Explanation:
Calculation of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.
1. Direct Material
Ending Work In Process Inventory (201,000 × 100%) = 201,000
Completed and Transferred Out (715,000 × 100 %) = 715,000
Equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials = 916,000
2. Conversion
Ending Work In Process Inventory (201,000 × 90%) = 180,900
Completed and Transferred Out (715,000 × 100 %) = 715,000
Equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials = 895,900

If Rosa reduces her portfolio's exposure to risk by opting for a smaller share of stocks, he must also accept a average annual return. Suppose Rosa currently allocates 25% of her portfolio to a diversified group of stocks and 75% of her portfolio to risk-free bonds; that is, she chooses combination B. She wants to increase the average annual return on her portfolio from 4.5% to 9.5%. In order to do so, she must do which of the following?
a. Sell some of her bonds and use the proceeds to purchase stocks
b. Sell some of her stocks and use the proceeds to purchase bonds
c. Place the entirety of her portfolio in bonds
d. Accept a lower average annual rate of return
Answer:
a. Sell some of her bonds and use the proceeds to purchase stocks.
Explanation:
Debt or bonds is less risky so it generates lower returns. Stock or equity comprises high risk so it offers high returns to its investors. If Rosa wants to increase her returns from 4.5% to 9.5% then he should sell some of its bonds and invest the proceeds into stocks. The lower returns on the bonds will be replaced by high returns on the stocks.

= $564,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
May 1, Current Assets = $1,400,000
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities = 1.90:1
Acid -test ratio = 1.70:1
Therefore, current liabilities = $1,400,000/1.9 = $737,000
Current Assets minus Inventory/$737,000 = 1.7
Therefore, current assets minus inventory = $737,000 * 1.7 = 1,253,000
Inventory = Current Assets - (Current assets -inventory)
= $1,400,000 - $1,253,000
= $147,000

Materials Inventory $12,670
Work-in-Process Inventory 21,090
Finished Goods Inventory 8,680
Work-in-process inventory is made up of three jobs with the following costs:
Job 114 Job 115 Job 116
Direct materials $2,360 $2,647 $3,807
Direct labor 1,780 1,540 4,120
Applied overhead 1,157 1,001 2,678
During April, Sangvikar experienced the transactions listed below. Materials purchased on account, $28,520. Materials requisitioned: Job 114, $16,190; Job 115, $12,340; and Job 116, $4,850. Job tickets were collected and summarized: Job 114, 170 hours at $11 per hour; Job 115, 210 hours at $14 per hour; and Job 116, 90 hours at $17 per hour. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost. Actual overhead was $4,590. Job 115 was completed and transferred to the finished goods warehouse. Job 115 was shipped, and the customer was billed for 125 percent of the cost.
Required:
a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost.
b. Calculate the ending balance for each job as of April 30.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost.
Job 114:
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor cost
= 1157/1780
= 65%
Job 115:
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor cost
= 1001/1540
= 65%
Job 116:
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor cost
= 2678/4120
= 65%
b. Calculate the ending balance for each job as of April 30
Job 114:
Beginning balance= 2360+1780+1157 = 5297
Material = 16190
Direct labor = 170 × 11 = 1870
Overhead = 1870 × 0.7 = 1309
Ending balance = 24666
Job 115:
Beginning balance= 2647+1540+1001 = 5188
Material = 12340
Direct labor = 210 × 14 = 2940
Overhead = 2940 × 0.7 = 2058
Ending balance = 22526
Less: Finished goods = 22526
Balance = 0
Job 116:
Beginning balance= 3807+4120+2678= 10605
Material = 4850
Direct labor = 90 × 17 = 1530
Overhead = 1530 × 0.7 = 1071
Ending balance = 18056
Chelene had been a caregiver for Marta’s elderly mother, Janis, for nine years. Shortly before Janis passed away, Chelene convinced her to buy Chelene’s house for Marta. Janis died before the papers were signed, however. Four months later, Marta used her inheritance to buy Chelene’s house without having it inspected. The house was built in the 1950s, and Chelene said it was in "perfect condition." Nevertheless, one year after the purchase, the basement started leaking. Marta had the paneling removed from the basement walls and discovered that the walls were bowed inward and cracked. Marta then had a civil engineer inspect the basement walls, and he found that the cracks had been caulked and painted over before the paneling was installed. He concluded that the "wall failure" had existed "for at least thirty years" and that the basement walls were "structurally unsound." Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.
1. Can Marta avoid the contract on the ground that both parties made a mistake about the condition of the house? Explain. 2. Can Marta sue Chelene for fraudulent misrepresentation? Why or why not? What element (or elements) might be lacking?. 3. Now assume that Chelene knew that the basement walls were cracked and bowed and that she hired someone to install paneling before offering to sell the house. Did she have a duty to disclose this defect to Marta? Could a court find that Chelene's silence in this situation constituted misrepresentation? Explain.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Marta cannot avoid the contract on the basis of a mistake of buying the house because she was supposed to inspect the house she was buying
2. Marta cannot sue Chelene for fraudulent misrepresentation because Chelene was not aware of the condition of the house. The elements in fraudulent misrepresentation are lacking : no intention to deceive, no misrepresentation of material facts
3. It would be Chelene's duty to reveal that there is defect in the house and if not the court would see this as misresprentation.
4. There was no undue influence from Chelene in selling the house and so Marta and Janis even she was alive cannot revoke the contract on this basis

Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $210 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $193,200, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $168 per 100 yards of XT rope.
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of sales units and sale dollars.
2. Prepare a CVP chart for Product XT. Use 7,000 units (700,000 yards/100 maximum number of sales units on the horizontal axis of the graph, and $1,400,000 as the maximum dollar amount on the vertical axis.3. Prepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.
Answer:
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of sales units and sale dollars.
break even point = $193,200 / ($210 - $168) = 4,600 package (each containing 100 yards)
break even point in $ = 4,600 x $210 = $966,000
2) attached graph
3) Income Statement
Revenue $966,000
Variable costs ($772,800)
Contribution margin $193,200
Fixed expenses ($193,200)

Answer:
A specific trade agreement would be the US - Colombia trade agreement, which was signed on 2006.
Explanation:
This trade agreement reduced 80% of tariffs that used to applied to goods exported from the U.S. to Colombia, and from Colombia to the U.S.
The agreement benefits consumers in both countries because it allows each country to specialize in the production of those goods that they do best, for example, coffee in the case of Colombia, and industrial goods in the case of the United States.
However, because the United States is a much more powerful country, with a higher level of development, consumers in the US have benefited more than Colombian consumers.

Overhead rate $enter a dollar amount per direct labor dollar rounded to 3 decimal places per direct labor dollar Direct labor cost $enter a dollar amount per unit rounded to 3 decimal places per unit Overhead assigned $enter a dollar amount per unit rounded to 3 decimal places per unit
Question attached
Answer and Explanation:
Overhead rate per direct labor dollar
=$120,400+$77,140+$148,200+$94,500+$180,630 divided by $2,007,000
=$620,870/$2,007,000 = $0.29

On December 31, 2021, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $102 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2051. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2022. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2021, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer: $89,342,526
Explanation:
Price of the bond will be the present value of the face value plus the present value of the interest payments.
Interest Payments
= 6% * 102,000,000
= $6,120,000
2051 - 2021 = 30 years
Similar interest = 7%
Present value = 6,120,000 * Present value factor of annuity for 30 years, 7%
= 6,120,000 * 12.4090
= $75,943,080
Present value of bond
= 102,000,000/(1 + 7%)^30
= $13,399,445.95
Price of bond = 13,399,445.95 + 75,943,080
=$89,342,526
