A partially completed pension spreadsheet showing the relationships among the elements that constitute Carney, Inc.’s defined benefit pension plan follows. At the end of 2018, Carney revised its pension formula and incurred a prior service cost of $100 million. At the end of 2019, the pension formula was amended again, creating an additional prior service cost of $200 million. At the beginning of 2020, $400 million prior service cost was incurred. At the beginning of 2021, $300 million prior service cost was incurred. In 2018 - 2021, the actuary’s discount rate remained 10%, and the average remaining service life of the active employee group remained 10 years. The expected rate of return on assets was 10% in 2019, and increased by 1% each year.

2020 spreadsheet

1. Fill in blanks in the 2021 pension spreadsheet.

Joe has an annual income of $80,000. His employer pays all of his health insurance premiums.
Joe expects to incur $2,000 in unreimbursed medical expenses for the year. He pays an average
federal tax rate of 22%. In addition, his state has a flat 3% income tax rate. Thus, his total
income taxes paid will be equal to 25% of his taxable income. Joe expects to deduct $15,000
from his annual income for income tax purposes.
a. How much income tax will Joe pay in total (state plus federal)?

b. How much FICA (payroll) tax will Joe pay? How much will his employer pay? What
fraction of the total payroll tax can be attributed to Medicare?

c. Joe decides to redirect $2,000 of his salary to a flexible spending account. This
contribution is considered a salary reduction, which means it reduces both the payroll
taxes and the income taxes Joe needs to pay. What are the total taxes Joe needs to pay
now? How much money has he saved?

Flexible Budgeting and Variance Analysis

I Love My Chocolate Company makes dark chocolate and light chocolate. Both products require cocoa and sugar. The following planning information has been made available:

I Love My Chocolate Company does not expect there to be any beginning or ending inventories of cocoa or sugar. At the end of the budget year, I Love My Chocolate Company had the following actual results:

Required:

1. Prepare the following variance analyses for both chocolates and the total, based on the actual results and production levels at the end of the budget year:

     a. Direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total variance.

     b. Direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total variance.

Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

2. The variance analyses should be based on the   amounts at   volumes. The budget must flex with the volume changes. If the   volume is different from the planned volume, as it was in this case, then the budget used for performance evaluation should reflect the change in direct materials and direct labor that will be required for the   production. In this way, spending from volume changes can be separated from efficiency and price variances.

Analyzing Manufacturing Cost Accounts

Fire Rock Company manufactures designer paddle boards in a wide variety of sizes and styles. The following incomplete ledger accounts refer to transactions that are summarized for June:

In addition, the following information is available:

a. Materials and direct labor were applied to six jobs in July:

b. Factory overhead is applied to each job at a rate of 170% of direct labor cost.

c. The June 1 Work in Process balance consisted of two jobs, as follows:

d. Customer jobs completed and units sold in July were as follows:

1. Determine the missing amounts associated with each letter and complete the following table. If required, round amounts to the nearest dollar. If an answer is zero, enter in "0". Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

a. Materials Requisitions $

b. Work in Process Beginning Balance $

c. Direct Materials $

d. Direct Labor $

e. Factory overhead applied $

f. Completed jobs $

g. Cost of goods sold $

h. Indirect labor $

2. Determine the June 30 balances for each of the inventory accounts and factory overhead. Use the minus sign to indicate any credit balances.

Hairco makes and sells hair products at an awesome salon. The hair products are made of aloe, gel, and tea tree oil. Given the following information about Hairco’s January operations, answer the questions below. Budgeted MOH: $800 per month. Budgeted Machine Hours (Hairco’s chosen allocation base for MOH): 200.

Inventory Balances 1/1 1/31

Hair Products $ 1000 1200

Aloe 50 65

Partly-mixed hair products 400 385

Gel 300 280

Tea Tree Oil 450 620

During January, Hairco bought 200 ounces of aloe at $0.75 per ounce, 6000 ounces of gel at $0.50 per ounce, and 800 ounces of tea tree oil for $3 an ounce. The machines were used 190 hours. It also incurred the following costs.

Depreciation on machines $30 per month

Depreciation on tools $10 per month

Cashier in store 40 hours a week at $12 per hour for 4 weeks

Rent on factory $150 per month

Factory custodian 10 hours per week at $8 per hour for 4 weeks

Utilities for factory $200 per month + $0.05 per kilowatt hour.

Shampoo mixer 40 hours per week (4 weeks) at $10 per hour

Categorize the inventory items listed above.

Categorize each of the costs listed above as Direct Materials, Direct Labor, Manufacturing Overhead or Period (Nonmanufacturing) cost AND as fixed or variable.

Hairco sold $15,000 worth of hair products in January. Create an income statement for the month. Like many companies, Hairco uses actuals for DM & DL, and the Budgeted MOH rate to calculate MOH.

In March, Hairco gets its utility bill (2000 kilowatt hours were used) for January, the last of its MOH costs for that month. How much is Hairco’s MOH over or under-applied? What are its options for disposing of this amount?

Show all these.

Please explain to me how they calculating 10.4 M , 1.4M and also 4.4M A construction company entered into a fixed-price contract to build an office building for $26 million. Construction costs incurred during the first year were $6 million and estimated costs to complete at the end of the year were $9 million. During the first year the company billed its customer $9 million, of which $3 million was collected before year-end. What would appear in the year-end balance sheet related to this contract using the percentage-of-completion method? (Enter your answers in whole dollars.) Assets: Accounts receivable $6,000,000 Costs plus profit in excess of billings $1,400,000 Explanation: Assets: Accounts receivable ($9 million – 3 million) = $6,000,000 Cost plus profit ($6 million + $4.4 million*) in excess of billing ($9 million) = $1,400,000 * First year gross profit = $10,400,000 – 6,000,000 = $4,400,000

inventory has a FMV of 170,000 for Roberts and the equipment has a FMV of 715,000. The book value and FMV of liabilities are the same. Assuming Williams wishes to acquire Roberts for cash in an asset acquisition, determine the following cutoff amounts:

1. Purchase price above which Williams would record goodwill?
2. Purchase price which Williams would record a 60,000 gain?
3. Purchase price below which Williams would obtain a bargain?
4. Purchase price which Williams would record 85,000 of goodwill?

Cash flows estimation and capital budgeting:
You are the head of finance department in XYZ Company. You are considering adding a new machine to your production facility. The new machine’s base price is $10,100.00, and it would cost another $3,280.00 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after three years for $2,150.00. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $780.00. The new machine would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $29,185.00 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. XYZ's marginal tax rate is 39.00%.

If the project's cost of capital is 16.75%, what is the NPV of the project?

Round your answer to two decimal places. For example, if your answer is $345.667 round as 345.67 and if your answer is .05718 or 5.718% round as 5.72.
