Answer:
proportional tax
Explanation:
The description stated in the question is an example of a proportional tax. Like mentioned, this is a type of income tax system that enforces the same percentage tax rate to every single individual regardless of their overall income. This applies to low, middle, and high-income taxpayers. Therefore, if a low-income tax individual is charged 10% then the middle and high-income taxpayers will also be charged 10%.
All of the following are assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of except? Homogenous customer needs worldwide People around the world are willing to sacrifice preferences for lower prices and higher quality Economies of scale can be obtained in production and marketing through supplying worldwide Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Answer: Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Explanation:
Theodore Levitt came up with some assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of which include;
On a global scale, customer needs are beginning to become homogeneous.People are willing to sacrifice their preferences for better quality products at a cheaper quality which gives Multinational Companies a chance to offer them better products than local producers due to their large sizes and Economies of scale.Having to supply the world can lead to Economies of scale in production and marketing due to the larger market.Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix is not one of the assumptions espoused by Theodore Levitt and so is the correct answer.
Break-even point Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $160, the unit variable cost is $120, and the total fixed costs are $725,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $170.
A. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
B. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.
Answer:
A. 18,125 units
B. 14,500 units
Explanation:
Break -even is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $160 - $120)
= 18,125 units
New Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $170- $120)
= 14,500 units
Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,600,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
A. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Total direct labor hours= 0.4*4,000 + 4.8*8,000= 40,000
Overhead= 1,600,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,600,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40 per direct labor hour
Now, we can determine the unitary product cost.
Mercon= 9 + 15 + 40*0.4= $37
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + 4.8*40= $216
B.
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Now, we have two different allocation rates:
Direct-labor hours= 800,000/40,000= $20 per direct labor hour
Engineer desing= 800,000/16,000= $50 per engineer desing hour
Finally, we can determine the unitary product cost:
Engineer design per unit:
Mercon= 8,000/4,000= 2
Wurcon= 8,000/8,000= 1
Mercon= 9 + 15 + (20*0.4 + 50*2) = $132
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + (20*4.8 + 50*1)= $170
If people lost confidence in the government what kind of money would have the least value?
If people lost confidence in the government which would have the least value?
a) fiat money
b) representative money
c) commodity money
d) gold standard
Answer:
Fiat money
Explanation:
Fiat money is a type of money or currency that is used as money because it is issued and backed by the government but it does not have any intrinsic value.
It has no intrinsic value which means that it does not have any value of its own and it is maintained by the government. Therefore, If people lost confidence in the government the kind of money that would have the least value is fiat money
"If the top two companies in the golf club industry merged, their new market share would equal 15% of the market. This industry's new HHI would be 995. According to the FTC's historical guidelines for mergers, would the FTC approve this merger
Answer:
Yes, the FTC would ignore the merger and allow it to go through.
Explanation:
here are the options to the question ;
O No, the FTC would probably challenge the merger
O Maybe. The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decislon.
Yes, the FTC would ignore the merger and allow it to go through.
HHI is used to calculate market power.
if the HHI index is less than 1000 post merger, the merger would be allowed to go through.
If the HHI index is between 1000 - 1800 post merger and the change in HHI is more than 100 after the merger, The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decislon.
If the HHI index is more than 1800 post merger and the change in HHI is more than or equal to 50, he FTC would probably challenge the merger
you have just deposited $11000 in to an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.5 percent each year for the next 6 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 10 years from today. you need to have $26300 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Explanation:
First find the Future value (FV) of $11,000 at the end of the 6th year as follows :
PV = -$11,000
r = 6.50%
p/yr = 1
n = 6
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) is $16,050.57
Therefore, the amount invested will amount to $16,050.57 in 6 year.
Next we then calculate the interest rate that will give us $26300 in the next four years (remainder of the 10 years)
PV = -$16,050.57
FV = $26,300
P/yr = 1
n = 4
Pmt = $0
r = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Interest rate (r) is 13.14 %
Conclusion :
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Suppose you deposit your paycheck, drawn on another bank. The total money supply in the banking system will ___________ because:
a. Assets of your bank would increase by more than the amount withdrawn from the other bank.
b. An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount.
c. Assets of the other bank would decrease by a fraction of the amount deposited at your bank.
Answer:
Option B, An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount, is correct.
Explanation:
The total money supply in the banking system will remain the “same” because it is given that paycheck is drawn from another bank. So, if a person withdraws money from another bank it implies that there is a decrease in money supply in the banking system and when the cheque is deposited in the other bank so again the money supply will increase in the banking system. However, the amount of money supply will remain the same. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
Wolverine Company financial statements included the effects of these errors: Reported Net Income for Year 1 was $20,000. Reported Net Income for Year 2 was $18,000. Indicate the error in 12/31/2 Retained Earnings:
Answer:
Net income year 2 = $21,300
Explanation:
I looked for the missing information and found this:
Year Depreciation overstated Prepaid expense omitted
1 $2,500 $2,000
2 $4,000 $2,700
If your question doesn't include the same values, just adjust the answer.
Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $2,000 - $2,700 = $21,300

$
$
3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.
Units transferred out $
Units in ending work in process
Answer:
1. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs
Equivalent units of Materials: (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + Units in ending work in process
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + 8,200
= 37,300
Equivalent units of conversion costs : (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + (Units in ending work in process * 40%)
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + (8,200 * 40%)
=29,100 + 3,280
= 32,380
2. Determine the unit costs of production
Unit costs of materials = Direct materials / Equivalent units of Materials
= $78,330 / 37,300
= $2.1
Unit costs of conversion costs = (Direct labor + Overhead) / Equivalent units of conversion costs
= ($66,500 + $105,114) / 32,380
= $171,614 / 32,380
= $5.3
3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process
Units ending work in process = Materials + Conversion costs
where, Materials = 8,200 * $2.1 = $8,202
Conversion costs = 3,281 * $5.3 = $17,389
( 8,200 * 40%)
Units ending work in process = $8,202 + $17,389
= $25,591
Gilchrist Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the machine-hours for the upcoming year at 37,600 machine-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $4.38 per machine-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,026,856. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
Predetermined OH rate = $ 31.69 per machine hour
Explanation:
Predetermined Fixed OH rate = Estimated Fixed Overhead / Estimated machine hours = $1,026,856 / 37,600
Predetermined Fixed OH rate = $27.31 per machine hour
Predetermined OH rate = Predetermined Fixed OH rate + Predetermined variable OH rate = $ 27.31 + $ 4.38
Predetermined OH rate = $ 31.69 per machine hour
Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $4 per liter. It costs $100 to convert 100 liters of D into 60 liters of E and 40 liters of F. Product F can be sold immediately for $4 per liter or processed further into Product G at an additional cost of $3 per liter. Product G can then be sold for $9 per liter.
a. Determine whether Product F should be sold or processed further into Product G.
b. Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of further processing.
c. Use a negative sign with your answer to indicate a net disadvantage (if applicable).
Answer:
a) Product G should be produced and sold
b) Net financial advantage $80
Explanation:
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Revenue after split-off point
($9× 40 litres) 360
Revenue at the slit of point
($4 × 40) (160)
Additional income from further processing 200
Further processing cost ($3× 40) (120)
Incremental income from further processing 80
Incremental income from further processing = $80
a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.
b) Net advantage $80
Gullett Corporation had $26,000 of raw materials on hand on November 1. During the month, the Corporation purchased an additional $75,000 of raw materials. The journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a:
Answer:
debit to Raw Materials of $75,000
Explanation:
In this scenario, the journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a debit to Raw Materials of $75,000. A debit is an entry recording a sum owed, listed on the left-hand side or column of an account. Therefore in accounting, since Gullet Corporation's purchase was for an "additional" $75,000 worth of raw material, they owe that money to the company and must make it up through sales that those materials should generate in the future. That is why it is recorded as a debit.
At the beginning of year 1, Looby Corp. purchases equipment for $100,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. What is accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 using straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of year = $16,000
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 100,000
Residual value = 20,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = (100,000- 20,000)/10 =8,000
Annual depreciation = 8,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = Annual depreciation× number of years
= 8,000× 2 = 16,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = $16,000
Your firm has total sales of $22,980, costs of $14,715, and depreciation of $6,045. The tax rate is 34 percent. There are no interest expenses or other income. What is the operating cash flow?
Answer:
Thus, Operating cash flow for company is $7,510.20.
Explanation:
Total Sales = $22,980
Cost of goods sold = $14,715
Depreciation = $6,045
Profit before tax = Total Sales – Cost of goods sold – Depreciation
= $22,980 – $14,715 – $6,045
=$2,220
Profit before tax is $2,220
Tax rate = 34%
Net profit = profit before tax × (1 – 34%)
= $1,465.20
Net profit for company is $1,465.20.
Operating cash flow = Net profit + Depreciation

Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $45,900 and if direct materials are $27,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
Manufacturing Overheads = $56100
Explanation:
The conversion cost defined simply is the cost involved in turning the raw material or direct material into the finished products. Conversion cost is calculated by adding the direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost.
Conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing overheads
As we know that the manufacturing overhead is 55% of conversion cost, then the direct labor cost is 45% of conversion cost.
If 45% of conversion cost is $45900, then the total conversion cost will be,
Conversion cost = 45900 * 100/45 = $102000
Manufacturing Overheads = 102000 - 45900 = $56100
