Adjusting Entries - Round to two decimal places.

The rent payment made on June 17 was for June, July and August. Expense the amount associated with one month's rent.

A physical inventory showed that only $281.00 worth of office supplies remained on hand as of June 30.

The annual interest rate on the mortgage payable was 8.00 percent. Interest expense for one-half month should be computed because the building and land were purchased and the liability incurred on June 16.

Information relating to the prepaid insurance may be obtained from the transaction recorded on June 14. Expense the amount associated with one half month's insurance.

A review of Byte’s job worksheets show that there are unbilled revenues in the amount of $5,625 for the period of June 28-30.

The fixed assets have estimated useful lives as follows:
Building - 31.5 years
Computer Equipment - 5.0 years
Office Equipment - 7.0 years
Use the straight-line method of depreciation. Management has decided that assets purchased during a month are treated as if purchased on the first day of the month. The building’s scrap value is $500. The office equipment has a scrap value of $300. The computer equipment has no scrap value. Calculate the depreciation for one month.

A review of the payroll records show that unpaid salaries in the amount of $621 are owed by Byte for three days, June 28 - 30.

The note payable relating to the June 2, and 10 transactions is a five-year note, with interest at the rate of 12 percent annually. Interest expense should be computed based on a 360 day year.
[IMPORTANT NOTE: The original note on the computer equipment purchased on June 2 was $124,000. On June 10, eight days later, $23,750 was repaid. Interest expense must be
calculated on the $124,000 for eight days. In addition, interest expense on the $100,250 balance of the loan ($124,000 less $23,750 = $100,250) must be calculated for the 20 days remaining in the month of June.]

Income taxes are to be computed at the rate of 25 percent of net income before taxes.
[IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the income taxes are a percent of the net income you will want to prepare the Income Statements through the Net Income Before Tax line. The worksheet contains all of the accounts and their balances which you can then transfer to the appropriate financial statement.]

Some new production machinery has a first cost of $100,000 and a useful like of 10 years. Its estimated operating and maintenance costs are $10,000 the first year, which will increase annually by $4000. The asset’s before-tax market value will be $50,000 at the end of the first year and then will decrease by $5000 annually. This property is a 7-year MACRS property. The company uses a 6% after tax MARR and is subject to a combined federal/state tax rate of 40%. Calculate the after tax cash flows. The spreadsheet also needs to be able to use WACC in place of a given interest rate. The spreadsheet needs to accommodate different tax rates, and must include ATCF for O&M and Depreciation and ATCFs of disposal if the equipment is sold in each of the 10 years. Combine these to Identify the optimal life.

In an attempt to improve budgeting, the controller for Meliore, Inc., has developed a flexible budget for overhead costs. Meliore, Inc., makes two types of products, the standard model and the deluxe model. Meliore expects to produce 300,000 units of the standard model and 120,000 units of the deluxe model during the coming year. The standard model requires 0.05 direct labor hour per unit, and the deluxe model requires 0.08. The controller has developed the following cost formulas for each of the four overhead items:

Cost Formula:

Maintenance $34,500+ $1.25 DLH

Power $0.50 DLH

Indirect labor $68,400+$2.30 DLH

Rent $31,500

1. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected activity level for the coming year.

2. Prepare an overhead budget that reflects production that is 10 percent higher than expected (for both products) and a budget for production that is 20 percent lower than expected.
