love Company is a merchandiser that provided a balance sheet as of September 30 as shown below:

The company is in the process of preparing a budget for October and has assembled the following data:

1. Sales are budgeted at $440,000 for October and $450,000 for November. Of these sales, 35% will be for cash; the remainder will be credit sales. Forty percent of a month’s credit sales are collected in the month the sales are made, and the remaining 60% is collected in the following month. All of the September 30 accounts receivable will be collected in October.

2. The budgeted cost of goods sold is always 45% of sales and the ending merchandise inventory is always 30% of the following month’s cost of goods sold.

3. All merchandise purchases are on account. Thirty percent of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase and 70% are paid for in the following month. All of the September 30 accounts payable to suppliers will be paid during October.

4. Selling and administrative expenses for October are budgeted at $89,400, exclusive of depreciation. These expenses will be paid in cash. Depreciation is budgeted at $2,760 for the month.

Jessica purchased a home on January 1, 2018 for $580,000 by making a down payment of $230,000 and financing the remaining $350,000 with a 30-year loan, secured by the residence, at 6 percent. During 2018 and 2019, Jessica made interest-only payments on this loan of $21,000 (each year). On July 1, 2018, when her home was worth $580,000 Jessica borrowed an additional $145,000 secured by the home at an interest rate of 8 percent. During 2018, she made interest-only payments on the second loan in the amount of $5,800. During 2019, she made interest only on the second loan in the amount of $11,600. What is the maximum amount of the $32,600 interest expense Jessica paid during 2019 may she deduct as an itemized deduction if she used the proceeds of the second loan to finish the basement in her home and landscape her yard? (Assume not married filing separately.)

1. Steve’s Job Inc. works a lot of jobs and makes a lot of money. At the end of the previous month Steve had one job, job 10020, in process. For Job 10020 Steve had incurred $20,000 in labor, $50,000 in material and applied $10,000 in overhead. Steve tacks on a 50% profit margin to determine the amount charged to his customers. During the month Steve incurred another $40,000 in labor and another $30,000 in material plus the overhead. This job still hadn’t been completed by month end. Steve wondered what was taking so long. During the month Steve did a lot of things. One of the things he did was start and complete job # 1002 For job #10021 Steve spent $60,000 in labor, $40,000 in material and applied another $30,000 for overhead. Unfortunately, by month end the client had still not signed off on the work. Finally, Steve started and completed job # 10022. A very pretty job of which the client was more than satisfied. Steve spent $22,000 in labor, $44,000 in material and applied $11,000 in overhead. Actual overhead for the month was $53,000.

At month end what was the

Jaden Kyler is the Chief Operating Officer at United Hospital in Newark New Jersey. He is analyzing the​hospital's overhead costs but is not sure whether nursing hours or the number of patient days would be the best cost driver to use for predicting the​ hospital's overhead.

He has gathered the following information for the last six months of the most recent​ year:

Data Table:

Requirements:

1. Are the​ hospital's overhead costs​ fixed, variable, or​ mixed? Explain.

The​ hospital's overhead costs appear to be a ▼(fixed, mixed, variable cost). If it were a ▼ (fixed, mixed, variable ​cost), it would remain constant in total each month. If it were a ▼ (fixed, mixed, variable ​cost), it would remain constant on a per unit​ (of activity) basis. Both of the​ hospital's overhead cost per nursing hour and overhead cost per patient day ▼ (are fixed, vary) with volume.

2. Graph the​ hospital's overhead costs against nursing hours.

3. Graph the​ hospital's overhead costs against the number of patient days.

4. Do the data appear to be sound or do you see any potential data​ problems? Explain.

5. Use the​ high-low method to determine the​ hospital's cost equation using nursing hours as the cost driver. Predict total overhead costs if 24,500 nursing hours are predicted for the month.

6. Kyler runs a regression analysis using nursing hours as the cost driver to predict total hospital overhead costs. The Excel output from the regression analysis is as​ follows:

Regression analysis using nursing hours

SUMMARY OUTPUT​ - Nursing hours as cost driver

If 24,500 nursing hours are predicted for the​ month, what is the total predicted hospital​overhead?

7. Kyler then ran the regression analysis using number of patient days as the cost driver. The Excel output from the regression is shown​ here:

Regression analysis using number of patient days

SUMMARY OUTPUT​ - Using number of patient days as cost driver

If 3,650 patient days are predicted for the​ month, what is the total predicted hospital​overhead?

8. Which regression analysis​ (using nursing hours or using number of patient days as the cost​driver) produces the best cost​ equation? Explain your answer.
