A ten year loan of $10,000 at 8% annual effective can be repaid using any of the four following methods: (i) Amortization method, with annual payments at the end of each year. (ii) Repay the principal at the end of ten years while paying the 8% annual effective interest on the loan at the end of each year. In addition, make level annual deposits at the end of each year into a sinking fund earning 6% annual effective so that the sinking fund accumulates to $10,000 at the end of the 10th year.

Question 4 Brown Manufacturing has four categories of overhead. The four categories and expected overhead costs for each category for next year are listed below: N$ Maintenance 200 000 Materials handling 32 000 Setups 100 000 Inspection 120 000 Currently, overhead is applied using a predetermined overhead rate based upon budgeted direct labour hours. For next year, 50 000 direct labour hours are budgeted. The company has accepted a new job and the sales manager wanted to have a cost estimate. The production department provided the following information for the new job: Direct materials N$6 000 Direct labour (1 000 hours) N$10 000 Machine hours 500 Number of material moves 12 Number of setups 2 Number of inspections 10 In the past, full manufacturing cost has been calculated by allocating overhead using a volume-based cost driver (direct labour hours). With the information supplied by the production department, the bookkeeper requested you to assist them with the introduction of an activity based costing system. You collected the following expected activity for the four activity based cost drivers: Machine hours 20 000 Material moves 1 600 Setups 2 500 Quality inspections 4 000 Required: 4.1 Determine the amount of overhead that would be allocated to the proposed job if a plant wide rate with direct labours is used. 4 4.2 Determine the total cost of the proposed job. 3 4.3 Determine the amount of overhead that would be applied to the proposed project if activity based drivers are used. 4 4.4 Determine the total cost of the proposed job if activity based costing is used. 7

Why are tangible assets depreciated? Briefly described two or three depreciation methods and how they work.

Please consider the following, and offer three (3) responses between one (1) and three (3) sentences in length.

Scenario: You read in the local newspaper (ok, probably on your iPhone) that Genitempo-Cardoza Drilling (GC-D), the division of PEMEX specializing in light, sweet crude, has tapped another substantial deposit. This discovery and access means major profits for GC-D, and also new contracting opportunities for various support companies. Schlumberger and Morgan-Ali-Perry Corporation (MAP Corp) are competing to provide cementing field services and related support. You are a consultant to GC-D and MAP Corp and have been given a waiver (possible conflicts of interest, right?) to advise both clients in a joint meeting on three (3) issues.

If GC-D contracts with both Schlumberger and MAP Corp to provide services as independent contractors:

1) Should GC-D carry both Schlumberger and MAP Corp under its employment insurance?

2) If Schlumberger is providing only labor/people to operate and MAP Corp is providing only equipment, will Schlumberger and MAP Corp need to establish contracts with each other/between their two companies, or just GC-D independently?

3) If MAP Corp is shipping its equipment from its Texas base to Mexico, what entities (government and private) might be involved in that transfer?

Assume you are a new employee at Payroll Inc. a company which process payroll, advises small businesses on payroll issues, and remits all withheld funds to the government along with payroll forms required. Processing payroll and completing forms is a routine process which is repeated for each client and payroll period. Payroll advising is unique to each client.

In your initial post discuss the aspects of Payroll Inc.'s processes that lend themselves to process costing and which processes would more closely align with job order costing. How would you set up Payroll Inc.'s accounting system? Would you use job order or process costing? Or some other type of system? Why?
