| Direct Materials Usage Variance | $1,110 | |
| Direct Labor Rate Variance | 830 | |
| Direct Labor Efficiency Variance | $12,700 | |
Unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold equals $1,550,000, unadjusted Work in Process equals $276,000, and unadjusted Finished Goods equals $280,000.

Companies must restate costs and inventories at the end of the year to actual cost. So, variance accounts must be closed out and their balances applied to Cost of Goods Sold (if immaterial) or prorated among Cost of Goods Sold, Work in Process, and Finished Goods.
What is the adjusted balance in Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the variances?

2. What if any ending balance in a variance account that exceeds $9,000 is considered material? (a) Close the immaterial variance accounts to Cost of Goods Sold. (b) Prorate the largest of the labor variances among Cost of Goods Sold, Work in Process, and Finished Goods on the basis of prime costs in these accounts. (c) Prorate the largest of the material variances among Cost of Goods Sold, Work in Process, and Finished Goods on the basis of prime costs in these accounts. The prime cost in Cost of Goods Sold is $1,060,000, the prime cost in Work in Process is $166,000, and the prime cost in Finished Goods is $133,000. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank or enter "0".
Note: Round all interim calculations to three decimal places, and round your final answers to the nearest dollar. Adjust credit entry for rounding to ensure debits equal credits in journal entry.

chief Complaint: 40-year-old man with a cough and dyspnea. History: Joe Butt, a 40-year-old white male with a 52-pack-year smoking history suffered from chronic bronchitis. For the last several months he has been on an antibiotics treatment. Three weeks ago, his otherwise normal smoker’s cough started producing bloody sputum ("hemoptysis"). In the past week Joe has become increasingly short of breath ("dyspnea"). A routine chest X-ray revealed a couple of quarter-sized opacities in his right lung around the alveoli. Bronchoscopic examination revealed the tumors were nearly occluding two major bronchioles in his right lung. A bronchial biopsy revealed the diagnosis: bronchogenic carcinoma. Questions: 1. What is "bronchogenic carcinoma"? What medical professional most likely confirmed the nature of the biopsy? 2. Describe the structure of the bronchial epithelium. How many layers of cells make up this tissue? 3. Describe what the “mucociliary escalator" is and it’s function in the respiratory system. 4. What two conditions do you think have led to Joe experiencing a shortness of breath ("dyspnea")? 5. What is the most likely or common way that this type of cancer may metastasize (i.e. spreading to other parts of the body)?

You just got a job with Bling, Inc. The company distributes bracelets to various retail outlets across the country. In the past, the company hasn’t done budgeting and they run short on cash periodically. |
|
Because your wonderful Cost Accounting teacher prepared you so well, you decided to prepare comprehensive budgets for the second quarter in order to show management the benefits. You included other departments in your decision making process and have gathered the information below. |
|
The company sells many styles of bracelets, but they are all sold for $16 each. Actual sales of bracelets in units for the last three months and budgeted sales are below: |
|
January (actual) |
22,000 |
June (budget) |
52,000 |
|
February (actual) |
28,000 |
July (budget) |
32,000 |
|
March (actual) |
42,000 |
August (budget) |
30,000 |
|
April (budget) |
67,000 |
September (budget) |
27,000 |
|
May (budget) |
102,000 |
||
|
The increase in sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Bling, Inc. wants to make sure they have enough inventory on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the bracelets sold in the following month. |
|
Manufacturers are paid $5 for each bracelet. 50% of a month’s purchases are paid for in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid for in the following month. All credit sales are due (without discount), with no discount, in15 days. Based on history, Bling, Inc. has found, that only 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been immaterial and can be ignored. |
