    yeah just keep writing them and memorizing them and going over them in your head, try to recite it. I think i have most down but they are tricky and confusing and sometimes i dont even know what they are asking me for.

    How do you make a profit in that case?

    And look at this from Wiley:

    A company has cash of $100 million, accounts receivable of $600 million, current assets of $1.2 billion, accounts payable of $400 million, and current liabilities of $900 million. What is its acid-test (quick) ratio?

    A. 0.11

    B. 0.11

    C. 1.75

    D, 2.11

    This answer is correct because the quick (acid) ratio is equal to cash equivalents plus accounts receivable and prepayments divided by current liabilities, or .78 = ($100 million + $600 million) ÷ $900 million.

    SMH

    Question 20:

    PERM-0071

    Need a hint?See Reference…

    Based on the following data, what is the gross profit for the company?

    Sales $1,000,000

    Net purchases of raw materials 600,000

    Costs of goods manufactured 800,000

    Marketing and administrative expenses 250,000

    Indirect manufacturing costs 500,000

    Beginning inventory Ending inventory

    Work in process $500,000 $400,000

    Finished goods 100,000 500,000

    A. $200,000

    B. $400,000

    C. $900,000

    D. $200,000

    This answer is correct because gross profit is equal to sales ($1,000,000) minus cost of goods sold ($400,000), or $600,000. Cost of goods sold is calculated by adding beginning finished goods inventory ($100,000) to cost of goods manufactured ($800,000) and deducting ending finished goods inventory ($500,000).

    SMH X2!!! Really Wiley?

    The return is 10% and the dividend is $3 so to figure out what the stock price is we divide 3/.10 = 30. If we divide 3/.08 we get 37.5 so we sold it at a gain.

    @ aspiringcpa, It looks like they just want to know the components of EOQ (Economic Order Quantity). If you look at where carrying cost and stockout cost intersect on the chart on page 247 in the Wiley text, that is the optimal inventory level. It is just a balancing act between how much $ it takes to maintain inventory and how much it takes to reorder and the potentiality of running out of inventory.

    It doesn't have to do with current inventory levels because you are trying to find the optimal level. If you say you have 5 widgets and I say the optimal # of widgets is 10 widgets, it is irrelevant how many widgets you have… they are only concerned with the optimal level.

    A bakery is opened this year and produces cakes. During the year, the company buys 50,000 pounds of flour for $4.00 per pound. Each cake takes 1 pound and 4 ounces of flour. The company produced 20,000 cakes this year. At the end of the year, another 5,000 cakes are still in process. They are 40 percent complete as to direct labor and factory overhead. Flour is added at the beginning of the process but eggs, milk, baking soda, and butter are added evenly throughout the process. What is the cost of the flour that is included in the reported amount for work-in-process at the end of the year?

    A $10,000

    B $12,500

    C $15,000

    D $25,000

    Ans: D

    Below is the explanation. I don't understand….where did the 6,250 pounds come from???

    Although the cakes remaining at the end of the year are only 40 percent complete as to direct labor, factory overhead, and most of the materials, the flour is added at the beginning of the process. Therefore, all 5,000 cakes in process have a full amount of flour (1 pound and 4 ounces). For 5,000 cakes, that is a total of 6,250 pounds of material. At $4.00 per pound, the cost of the flour in these in-process cakes is $25,000.

    If I am correct, 1 cake needs 1.25 pound flour. They put sufficient flour which can make 25000 cakes at the beginning.

    The remaining 5000 cakes consist of 6250 pounds of flour

    @hzhao0802

    Each cake consists of 1.25 pounds of flour (4 oz/16oz = .25 lbs) * 5000 cakes = 6,250

    6,250 lbs of flour * $4 per lbs = $25,000

    Roger's book doesn't have the activity-based costing section but there are like 10 questions on it in the wiley HW book. What should I know about this section?

    cpahopefule, it uses multiple cost drivers as oppose to traditional which uses a single cost driver. can be used in either process or job cost systems. its more accurate in assignment of overhead.

    didnt get any questions done today =/

    but i did write down every formula in the book and plan on memorizing them. also bought ninja today..anyone else using for BEC? what do they think?

    Thanks, and it actually has it in the book just in a different section. I hate how he has it set up for BEC.

    I will use Ninja MCQ probably starting tomorrow. Good thinking on writing every formula down.
