Governments often receive interest on the temporary investment of capital debt proceeds. Some believe that governments are inconsistent in the way they report interest and other earnings on investments compared to interest on their debt. Explain this comment. Do you believe in reporting this incosistent?

David Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The first processing department, the Welding Department, started the month with 20,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. The conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory was $126,200. An additional 71,000 units were started into production during the month. There were 22,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Welding Department that were 10% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of $398,250 in conversion costs were incurred in the department during the month. What would be the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month?

Johnsn and Hill formed a company, and 2018 was their first year of operation.

a) To establish Johnson & Hill each contributed a total of $55,000 in exchange for common stock.

b) Johnson & Hillt specializes in high-end parties. The first year they conducted 96 events and revenue for the first year amounted to $480,000, of which 95% was to be paid by the date of the event and the remainder due within 30 days of the event

c) Clients owe $16,000 at the end of the year from the services provided in December.

d) At the beginning of the year, a storage building was rented, signing a two-year lease for $15,000 per year and making a $4,000 refundable security deposit. The first year’s lease payment and the security deposit were paid at the beginning of the year.

e) At the beginning of the year, the company purchased a computerized stage and lighting for $120,000 expected to be useful for twelve years. The company paid 20% down in cash and signed a four-year note at the bank for the remainder (with 10% interest-only to be paid annually until maturity). They also purchased a flatbed trailer to haul it with, for $8,000, also with an expected 15 year life. Johnson & Hill must lease a large truck to haul the trailer for each event, which costs $1,000 per day.

f) Other operating expenses, including wages, deprecation on other equipment, utilities, and rent on the storage building noted in (d) and (e) above, totaled $136,000 for the first year. No expenses were accrued or unpaid at the end of the year.

g) Johson & Hill purchased other equipment (tables & carts, ice machine, food heating trays and bags, helium tanks, music system, etc) for $10000 with an estimated life of 10 years and no salvage value. Salaries and wages for the year total $109467 including payroll taxes.

h) The company declared and paid a $50,000 cash dividend at the end of the first year.

i) Johnson & Hill is in the 35% corporate tax bracket.

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 32,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below: Unit Total Direct materials $ 25 $ 800,000 Direct labor 10 320,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 96,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 7 224,000 Variable selling expense 4 128,000 Fixed selling expense 6 192,000 Total cost $ 55 $ 1,760,000 The Rets normally sell for $60 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $224,000 per year within the range of 22,000 through 32,000 Rets per year. Required: 1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 22,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 10,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 10,000 units. This machine would cost $20,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) 2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 22,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 10,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.60 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order? 3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 32,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 10,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?
