Pureform, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:
Units Materials Labor Overhead
Work in process inventory, beginning 65,000 $ 68,500 $ 5,700 $ 21,400
Units started in process 617,000
Units transferred out 610,000
Work in process inventory, ending 72,000
Cost added during the month $ 905,900 $ 70,524 $ 264,440
The beginning work in process inventory was 75% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 55% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to labor and overhead.
Required:
1. Compute the first department's equivalent units of production for materials, labor, and overhead for the month.
2. Determine the first department's cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor, and overhead for the month. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Part 1
The first department's equivalent units :
Materials = 649,600 units
Labor = 635,200 units
Overheads = 635,200 units
Part 2
The first department's cost per equivalent unit :
Materials = $1.50
Labor = $0.12
Overheads = $0.45
Explanation:
It is important to note that the weighted-average method is being used in Pureform, Inc process costing system.
This method focuses on the units completed and transferred and units in closing work in process to calculate the equivalent units of production.
The total cost on which to base the unit cost comprises of cost in Opening Work In Process and the Manufacturing cost incurred during the production period
The first department's equivalent units
Equivalent units = Units Completed and transferred + Units in Closing Work in Process × Percentage of Completion
Therefore,
Materials = 610,000 + 72,000 × 55% = 649,600 units
Labor = 610,000 + 72,000 × 35% = 635,200 units
Overheads = 610,000 + 72,000 × 35% = 635,200 units
The first department's cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor, and overhead
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
Therefore,
Materials = ($ 68,500 + $ 905,900) ÷ 649,600 units
= $1.50
Labor = ($ 5,700 + $ 70,524) ÷ 635,200 units
= $0.12
Overheads = ($ 21,400 + $ 264,440) ÷ 649,600 units
= $0.45
The two principal sources of financing for corporations are Group of answer choices cash and common equity common equity and preferred equity debt and accounts payable debt and equity
Answer:
common equity and preferred equity
Explanation:
It is important to remember that, each source of finance carry its own benefits and risk for companies
The two principal sources of financing for corporations are common equity and preferred equity.
This is so because, with Common Equity, the Company can raise more capital through the public and with Preferred Equity the company reduces its financial risk since most dividends using this instrument can be adjusted or deferred unlike using debt instruments which carry a significant financial risk.
Gladstone Co. has expected sales of $352,000 for the upcoming month and its monthly break even sales are $332,500. What is the margin of safety as a percent of sales, rounded to the nearest whole percent
Answer: 5.54%
Explanation:
The margin of safety as a percent of sales will be calculated as:
= (Expected sales - Break even sales) / Expected sales
= ($352000 - $332500) / $352000
= $19500 / $352000
= 0.0554
= 5.54%
How Does Being Good Pay Off? Organizations are under increasing pressure to do the right thing and serve the public good, and there are a multitude of ways that organizations can be ethical and socially responsible.

Given the following data for the number of defects per spool of cable.
OBSERVATION
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Number of defects 2 3 1 0 1 3 2 0 2 1 3 1 2 0
a.
Determine three-sigma control limits using the above data. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round up any negative control limit value to zero.)
UCL
LCL
b. Is the process in control?
Yes
No
Answer:
a.
UCL = 5.17
LCL = 0.00
b.) Yes
The process is in control
Explanation:
Number of observations = 14
Total number of defects = 2+3+1+0+1+3+2+0+2+1+3+1+2+0 = 21
X = (number of defects)/(observation)
X = 21/14
= 1.50
UCL = upper control limit
= X+z√X
= 1.5+3√1.5
= 1.5+3.674234614
= 5.17 to 2 decimal places
LCL = lower control limit
= X-z√X
= 1.5-3√1.5
= -2.17
= 0.00
B.)
From the above, we have the number of defects to be within the control limits of 0 to 5.17, therefore we can conclude that the process is in control

Landlord-Tenant relationships are established by lease contracts. State the Rights and Duties of the Landlord-Tenant Relationship (Possession, Use and Maintenance, etc.). What are Transferring Rights to Leased Property? Explain an Assignment; a Sublease.
Answer: The landlord would have to make the environment conducive for leaving and the tenant would have pay rent and refrain from causing problems
Explanation:
The landlord and tenant have rights and duties to perform. The main duty of the landlord is to meet the warranty of habitability; ensuring the premises is safe and is in livable condition.
Whereas the duty of the tenant is to pay rent, ensure the environment occupied is neat, avoid causing problems for individuals around and refrain using the property for illegal purpose.
The right transferred by lease is an agreement by the tenant (the assignor) to transfer all of his or her rights, title, and interest in the lease to another person (the assignee).
A sublease is the lease of a property by a tenant to a subtenant.

The passenger was sitting on a lounge chair on the third deck when she was struck by the weighted end of a rope thrown by an employee of Port Everglades, where the boat was docking. These ropes, or heaving lines, were being thrown from the dock to the second deck, and the passenger was injured by a line that was thrown too high. The trial court granted the cruise line’s motion for directed verdict on the ground there was no evidence that the cruise line knew or should have known of the danger. The cruise line contended that it had no notice that this "freak accident" could occur. What is the duty of a cruise ship line to its passengers? Is there liability here? Does it matter that an employee of the port city, not the cruise lines, caused the injury? Should the passenger be able to recover? Why or why not?
Answer:
Following are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
The crew is forbidden to connect with visitors on the ship. The protection of a ship holds the crew close watch day and night. It doesn't mean that dalliances don't happen, but if a crewman is caught and convicted, the next port seems to be the start of the ship. Therefore the traveler ought to be able to claim damages in this issue, nobody has informed the traveler of apparent danger.

A manager at Strateline Manufacturing must choose between two shipping alternatives: two-day freight and five-day freight. Using five-day freight would cost $200 less than using two-day freight. The primary consideration is holding cost, which is $8 per unit a year. 2,400 items are to be shipped. Which alternative would you recommend
Answer:
Two day freight

In two years, you will receive the 1st payment from an irrevocable trust your grandparents set up. The trust is set up make payments forever. The appropriate discount rate is 2.0%. The 1st payment is for $500 and the payments will increase by 1.0% per year every year thereafter. The present value of all the future trust payments is closest to:
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
Note: There is an assumption that the payment is yearly payment & is received at the end of every year
Present Value of Perpetuity = Payment Receivable in 1st year/ (Discount rate - Growth rate)
Present Value of Perpetuity = 500/(2%-1%)
Present Value of Perpetuity = 500/0.01
Present Value of Perpetuity = $50,000
So, the present value of all the future trust payments is closest to $50,000
