Exercise 10-19 (LO. 4) Candlewood LLC started business on September 1, and it adopted a calendar tax year. During the year, Candlewood incurred $6,500 in legal fees for drafting the LLC's operating agreement and $3,000 in accounting fees for tax advice of an organizational nature, for a total of $9,500 of organizational costs. Candlewood also incurred $30,000 of preopening advertising expenses and $24,500 of salaries and training costs for new employees before opening for business, for a total of $54,500 of startup costs. The LLC wants to take the largest deduction available for these costs. If required, round any division to six decimal places and use in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar. How much can Candlewood deduct as organizational expenses

Answer:

deduction for organizational expenses = $5,000

Explanation:

Since the total startup costs are over $50,000 then the company's deduction will be lower. Generally speaking, a company can deduct up to $5,000 in organizational an startup costs ($5,000 each). But if the costs are over $50,000, then your deduction will be reduced by $1 for each dollar over that threshold.

In this case, organizational costs were $9,500, so they can deduct $5,000 during the first year and $4,500 will be amortized over the next 15 years. Startup costs are $54,500, which means that they can only deduct $5,000 - ($54,500 - $50,000) = $500 during the first year. The remaining $54,000 must be amortized over a 15 year period. Total deduction during the first year = $5,000 + $500 = $5,500

Garvey's Fine Furnishings manufactures upscale custom furniture. currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate its of manufacturing overhead to individual jobs.​ However, ​, owner and​ CEO, is considering refining the​ company's costing system by using departmental overhead rates.​ Currently, the Machining Department incurs of manufacturing overhead while the Finishing Department incurs of manufacturing overhead. has identified machine hours​ (MH) as the primary manufacturing overhead cost driver in the Machining Department and direct labor​ (DL) hours as the primary cost driver in the Finishing Department.
Requirement 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate assuming that Garvey's expects to incur 30,000 total DL hours during the year First identify the formula, then compute the rate.
Total manufacturing overhead / Cost allocation base = Plantwide overhead
(estimated) rate
$1,290,000 / 30,000 = 43
Requirement 2. Compute departmental overhead rates assuming that Garvey's expects to incur 14,500 MH in the Machining Department and 17,500 DL hours in the Finishing Department during the year. First identify the formula, then compute the rate for each department.
Total department / Cost allocation base = Departmental
overhead (estimated) overhead rate
Machining 870,000 / 14,500 = 60 per mach hour
Finishing 420,000 / 17,500 = 24 per DL hour
Requirement 3. If Garvey's continues to use the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job 455? Identify th formula, then calculate the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be allocated to the jobs if the plantwide overhead rate is used.
Actual use of Manufacturing overhead
Plantwide overhead rate x allocation base = allocated
Job 450 43 x 5 = 215
Job 455 43 x 5 = 215
Requirement 4. Based on your answers to Requirements 2 and 3, does the plantwide overhead rate overcost or undercost either job? Explain. If Garvey's sells its furniture at 125% of cost, will its choice of allocation systems affect product pricing? Explain.
The single plantwide rate undercosts Job 450 by $1 and undercosts Job 455 by $216.

Southwest Airlines is able to keep fares low, in part because of relatively low maintenance costs on its airplanes. One of the main reasons for the low maintenance costs is that Southwest flies only one type of aircraft: the Boeing 737. However, Southwest flies three different versions of the 737. Suppose Southwest decides to conduct a study to determine whether there is a significant difference in the average annual maintenance costs for the three types of 737s used. a. State a measurable dependent variable for such a study. b. State a factor that might affect the independent variable, and list at least three levels.
