 (10 points) For 2010, Jake’s Dog Supply Manufacturing uses machine-hours as the only overhead cost-allocation base. The accounting records contain the following information:

                                                                     Estimated          Actual

            Manufacturing overhead costs         $200,000         $240,000

            Machine-hours                                     40,000             50,000

Using job costing, the 2010 budgeted manufacturing overhead rate is:

Using normal costing, the amount of manufacturing overhead costs allocated to jobs during 2010 is:

(15 points) The Morgan Models company manufacturers replica plastic airplane and motorized vehicle models. During October, the firm’s Assembly Department started production of 60,000 models. During the month, the firm completed 66,000 models, and transferred them to the Finishing Department. The firm ended the month with 22,000 models in ending inventory. There were 28,000 models in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is used by Morgan. Beginning work in process was 25% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 50% complete as to conversion costs.

Beginning inventory:

      Direct materials costs      $39,200

      Conversion costs             $30,800

Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period:

      Direct materials costs      $90,000

      Conversion costs           $280,000

How many of the units that were started during October were completed during October?

What were the equivalent units for conversion costs during October?

What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of October?

(25 points) The following information pertains to the January operating budget for Ken’s Corporation.

      ∙     Budgeted sales for January $200,000 and February $100,000.

      ∙     Collections for sales are 60% in the month of sale and 40% the next month.

      ∙     Gross margin is 30% of sales.

      ∙     Administrative costs are $10,000 each month.

      ∙     Beginning accounts receivable is $20,000.

      ∙     Beginning inventory is $14,000.

      ∙     Beginning accounts payable is $65,000. (All from inventory purchases.)

      ∙     Purchases are paid in full the following month.

      ∙     Desired ending inventory is 20% of next month’s cost of goods sold (COGS).

For January, budgeted cash collections are ________.

At the end of January, budgeted accounts receivable is ________.

For January, budgeted cost of goods sold is ________.

For January, budgeted net income is ________.

At the end of January, budgeted ending inventory is ________.

Provide an example of a challenge an individual with visual or hearing disturbances might have meeting their needs at each of the three higher levels: Love and belonging needs, Self-esteem needs, and Self-actualization needs.

PhotoShopis considering replacing one of its Existing printers 

with either of two new printers – Printer A or Printer B. Printer A 

is a highly automated, coloured laser printer; Printer B is a less 

expensive one that uses standard technology. To analyse these alternatives, you, as a financial analyst, prepared estimates of the initial investment and incremental (relevant) net cash inflows associated with each printer.

  Printer A  Printer B

  Initial Investment  $327,400  $191,940

  Year (1-5) Net Inflow  $100,000  $60,000

You believe that the two printers are equally risky and that acceptance of either of them will not change the firm’s overall risk. Your therefore decide to apply the firm’s 14% cost of capital when evaluating the printer. PhotoShoprequires all projects to have payback periods of less than four years.

The following experiment is conducted with a certain ladder and a certain barn, each of which has a rest length of 30.0 m. The barn is prepared with its left door open and its right door closed. With one farmhand standing by the front (left) door, and another farmhand standing by the back (right) door, the farmer picks up the ladder and begins runnnig towards the barn at 0.5 c. For the following questions, take the origin of the S axis to be fixed to the left side of the barn, and the origin of the S’ axis fixed to be fixed to the left side of the ladder. As usual, take the coincidence of the two origins to occur at t = t’ = 0.

(a) In the barn frame, what is the latest time t1 at which the right door may be opened without the ladder crashing into it?

(b) In the barn frame, during time 0 < t < t1 , the ladder is entirely contained in the barn. This is possible because in the barn frame, the ladder is Lorentz-contracted to a length less than that of the barn. In the ladder frame, however, the barn is Lorentz-contracted to a length less than that of the ladder. Explain then, from the perspective of the farmer, why doesn’t the ladder crash into the back door of the barn? Do a short calculation to support your conceptual discussion.
