For Part II, determine the cost of goods available for sale. You will recall from Chapter 5 (see Part I above) that at the end of January, Cookie Creations had three mixers on hand at a cost of $575 each. For Part II of the assignment, you will calculate the following items: ·

ending inventory,

cost of goods sold,

gross profit,

and gross profit rate under each of the following methods: last-in,

first-out (LIFO);

first-in, first-out (FIFO);

and average cost.

(If anyone can help me with part II that will be great)

Harmer Inc. is now a successful company. In the early days (before it became profitable), it issued ISOs to its employees. Now Harmer is trying to decide whether to issue NQOs or ISOs to its employees. Initially, Harmer would like to give each employee 20 options (each option allows the employee to acquire one share of Harmer stock). For purposes of this problem, assume that the options are exercised in three years (three years from now) and that the underlying stock is sold in five years (five years from now). Assume that taxes are paid at the same time the income generating the tax is recognized. Also assume the following facts: (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.) The after-tax discount rate for both Harmer Inc. and its employees is 10 percent. The Corporate tax rate is 21 percent. The Personal (employee) ordinary income rate is 37 percent. The Personal (employee) long-term capital gains rate is 20 percent. The Exercise price of the options is $7. The Market price of Harmer at date of grant is $5. The Market price of Harmer at date of exercise is $25. The Market price of Harmer at date of sale is $35. Answer the following questions: Problem 12-32 Part a a. Considering these facts, which type of option plan, NQO or ISO, should Harmer Inc. prefer?

b. Assuming Harmer issues NQOs, what is Harmer’s tax benefit from the options for each employee in the year each employee exercises the NQOs? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)

e. What is the present value of each employee’s after-tax cash flows from year 1 through year 5 if the employees receive ISOs? Use Exhibit 3.1. (Round your intermediate calculations and final anwser to 2 decimal places.)

f. What is the present value of each employee’s after-tax cash flows from year 1 through year 5 if the employees receive NQOs? Use Exhibit 3.1. (Round your intermediate calculations and final anwser to 2 decimal places.)
g. How many NQOs would Harmer have to grant to keep its employees indifferent between NQOs and 20 ISOs? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)

Fleurant, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product W2 and Product P8. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below: Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours Product W2 600 6 3,600 Product P8 900 4 3,600 Total direct labor-hours 7,200 The direct labor rate is $42.10 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $208.60 for Product W2 and $145.30 for Product P8. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product W2 Product P8 Total Labor-related DLHs $ 223,576 3,600 3,600 7,200 Production orders orders 19,038 530 430 960 Order size MHs 333,386 3,930 3,730 7,660 $ 576,000 If the company allocates all of its overhead based on direct labor-hours using its traditional costing method, the overhead assigned to each unit of Product W2 would be closest to: Multiple Choice $261.14 per unit $186.31 per unit $480.00 per unit $118.99 per unit

NEW MEXICO CORPORATION

…… had the following operating data for its first two years of operations: Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 3.00 Variable overhead 1.50 Fixed costs per year: Overhead $90,000 Selling and administrative 17,200 The company produced 30,000 units the first year and sold 25,000. In the 2nd year, it produced 25,000 units and sold 30,000 units. The selling price per unit each year was $15.

Required: 1. What are absorption and variable costing? How are they different and when are they used?

2. Prepare a comparative income statement (side by side) for the years 1 and 2, using absorption costing. Has the firm performance, as measured by income, improved or declined from Year 1 to Year 2?

3. Prepare comparative income statements for both years using variable costing. Has firm performance, as measured by income, improved or declined from Year 1 to Year 2?

4. Reconcile the difference between the income(s) shown between the two statements for each of the years.

5. Which method do you think more accurately measures performance? Why?

1.  On October 1, Topper Company signs a contract to sell 1,000tie-dyed shirts for $10,000 ($10.00 each).

On October 8, 900shirts are delivered and Topper receives $9,000 cash (900 * $10)

1. Prepare the journal entry Topper Company would record to recognize revenue on October 8:

On October 15, Topper modifies the agreement to sell an additional 500 tie-dyed shitsfor $4,000 ($8.00 each * 500 shirts) which is significantly lower than Topper’s stand-alone selling price at that time.

So they still need to deliver 100from the agreement made on October 1 plus another 500for a total of 600tie-dyed flags.
