Document Summary

2 hours out of 50 marks (20% of your grade) Review all our postings on the d2l site---this is a good review! Identify the use to which the information will be put, since this will determine the types of data that should be collected and the techniques used. Step two: review relevant background information, such as organization charts, process charts, and job descriptions. Step three: select the representative positions and jobs to be analyzed. This is necessary when there are many incumbents in a single job and when a number of similar jobs are to be analyzed, since it would be too time consuming to analyze every position and job. Step four: analyze the jobs by collecting data on the job activities, required employee behaviours, working conditions, and human traits and abilities needed to perform the job. Step five: review the information with the worker(s) performing the job and with the immediate supervisor.

Question 1

I want answers for the questions that are in bold and italic letter.

Step 1	You work for Thunderduck Custom Tables Inc. This is the first month of operations. The company designs and manufactures specialty tables. Each table is specially customized for the customer. This month, you have been asked to develop and manufacture two new tables for customers. You will design and build the tables. This is a no nail, no screw, and no glue manufacturing ( no indirect materials used). You will be keeping track of the costs incurred to manufacture the tables using Job #1 Cost Sheet and Job #2 Cost Sheet.
	The cost of the direct materials that can be used to manufacture the table are as follows. These cost are on a per unit basis.
		Table Top	$1,000.00
		Table Leg	$ 150.00
		Drawer	$ 300.00
	The company uses a job order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead to jobs based on direct labor hours.
	The company estimates that there will be 12 direct labor hours worked during the month.

	The estimated manufacturing overhead cost for the month is:
	a.	Factory supervisor salary per month	$ 2,500.00
	b.	Rent for the factory per month	$500.00
	c.	Depreciation of factory equipment per month	$600.00
		Total Estimated manufacturing overhead	$ 3,600.00

	What is the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate?		[POHR]
Step 2	The first order you received was to manufacture a table using a table top and four legs. This is your Job #1.
Step 3	The customer that has ordered Job #2, wants a table that is the same as Job #1, but wants to also add a drawer to the table.
Step 4	The following is a list of transactions that need to be recorded for the company for activity in the month of December. Record those in the "General Journal" tab of the excel file using the proper format. Please use the following accounts: Accounts Receivables, Raw materials, Work in process, Finished goods, Accumulated depreciation, Accounts payable, Salaries and wages payable, Sales revenue, Manufacturing overhead, Cost of goods sold, Salaries and wages expense, Advertising expenses, and Depreciation expense.
1-Dec	Raw Materials purchased on account, $10,000.
5-Dec	All Raw Materials needed for Job #1 were requisitioned from the material storage for use during the month. Assume all materials are direct. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #1 Cost Sheet)
10-Dec	The following employee costs were incurred but not paid during the month:
	There are three assembly employees that spend 2 hours each, $20 per hour to make the table for Job #1. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #1 Cost Sheet)
	Salary for supervisor of the factory $3,000.
	Administrative Salary $2,000.

17-Dec	Advertising costs incurred but not paid for the month was $1,200.

26-Dec	Job #1 was completed and transferred to Finished Goods during the month.
28-Dec	The completed table from Job #1 was sold on account to the customer for $15,000 during the month. (Hint: Make sure to account for the cost of the table that was sold using the cost from the job cost sheet.)
31-Dec	Direct labor cost incurred but not paid for three employees to start manufacturing Job #2. The employees only worked one hour each, three hours total, $20 per hour during the month and they did not complete their work on the job. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #2 Cost Sheet)
31-Dec	Manufacturing overhead cost was applied based on direct labor hours to Job #2 based on the POHR. Only three direct labor hours were worked on Job #2 during the month. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #2 Cost Sheet)

â¢ Prospectus (27/05/2015)
Anakinâs Job
In May 2016, Anakin leaves his job in Hollywood and returned to the finance industry. It is his
first love after all and the industry appears to be picking up again after the credit crunch of
2007-2008. He applies to be the risk analyst to the fund manager of the Vanguard High Yield
Corporate Fund as his quantitative training positions him well for a job that requires ever more
numerical and computational skills over the years. His solid background in applied analytics
in business management and humble demeanour help him clinch the post without much
difficulty.
The Vanguard Group is an American investment company that has approximately USD 3
trillion in asset-under-management. It is founded in 1975 by John Bogle who created the first
index fund (tied to the S&P 500 index) in the process. After an initial lull, the index grew
rapidly along with the bull market of the 1980s. The Group has since added various financial
services and products to its core business, particularly the ETFs.
Anakin is tasked by the fund manager to become thoroughly familiar with the structure of the
fund as is documented by files provided under âMaterialsâ. After that, he is to assess the
exposure of the High Yield Corporate Fund to risks in the market. He seeks the opinion of
Darth who is a veteran market analyst with the Vanguard Guard group for over 20 years.
Outlook
Darth has this to say about the economy and fixed income market:
" The US economy is improving steadily. It will not be long before the Fed decides to raise
interest rates. Once the Fed restarts the regime of rising rates, it will about 2 years for the yield
curve to rise by 100 basis points.
Consequently, in the more stringent economic environment, companies of lower credit
qualities, namely those of Caa and below, are expected to have their credit standing further
eroded. There is a 25% chance that a Caa-rated issuer may go into default and another 25%
chance that it may be downgraded to C.
The Greek debt problem, though much stabilized than before, is still a matter of grave concern
for the Eurozone. Expect the euro to depreciate against the dollar over the course of the next 6
months. A fall of 500 pips will not be a surprise. "
Assume Anakinsâ role and answer the following questions. Questions 1 and 2 concern the
Financial Environment. The Environment at large provides the context and sets the constraints
within which financial decisions are weighed and taken. Questions 3 and 4 pertain to the task
that Anakin needs to complete.

Question 1
Describe the types of mutual funds that can be found in the market in a concise and systematic
manner, suitable for presenting to a group of investors who are high net worth and impatient.
